FUNDING TRUST Asset-Backed Notes, Series 1997A".  The Notes, together with

insertions, omissions, substitutions and other variations as are required or 
permitted by this Indenture, and may have such letters, numbers or other 
marks of identification and such legends or endorsements placed thereon as 
may, consistently herewith, be determined by the officers executing such 
Notes, as evidenced by their execution thereof.  Any portion of the text of 
any Note may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with an appropriate 
reference thereto on the face of the Note.

     The Notes shall be typewritten, printed, lithographed or engraved or 
produced by any combination of these methods, all as determined by the 
officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

     Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication.  The terms of 
the Notes set forth in EXHIBIT A are part of the terms of this Indenture.

     Section 2.2  EXECUTION, AUTHENTICATION, DELIVERY AND DATING.  The Notes 
shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer by an Authorized Officer of the

     Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.8, 
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and deliver the Notes for original 
issue with an Aggregate Maximum Principal Balance of $500,000,000.  The 
aggregate Note Principal Balance Outstanding at any time may not exceed the 
Aggregate Maximum Note Principal Balance.

     In the event of an advance of Additional Principal Balances by the 
Noteholders as provided in Section 2.02 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, 
each Noteholder shall, and is hereby authorized to, record on the schedule 
attached to its Note the date and amount of any Additional Principal Balance 
advanced by it, and each repayment thereof; provided that failure to make any 
such recordation on such schedule or any error in such schedule shall not 
adversely affect any Noteholder's rights with respect to its Note Principal 
Balance and its right to receive interest payments in respect of the Note 
Principal Balance held by such Noteholder.

     The Notes that are authenticated and delivered by the Indenture Trustee 
to or upon the order of the Issuer on the Closing Date shall be dated the 
Closing Date.  All other Notes that are authenticated after the Closing Date 
for any other purpose under the Indenture shall be dated the date of their 
authentication.  The Notes shall be issuable as registered Notes in the 
related denomination of the Maximum Note Principal Balance.

     No Note shall be entitled to any benefit under this Indenture or be 
valid 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.

     Section 2.3  REGISTRATION; REGISTRATION OF TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE.  The 
Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, 
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall 
provide for the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of 
Notes.  The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the "Note Registrar" for the 
purpose of registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon 
any resignation of any Note Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a 
successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties 
of Note Registrar.  The Note Registrar shall make the Note Register available 
for inspection by any Noteholder and the Note Insurer upon reasonable notice 
from such Noteholder.

     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 right to inspect the Note Register at all reasonable times and to 
obtain copies 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 Noteholders and the 
principal amounts and number of such Notes.

     Subject to Section 2.12, 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, the Issuer shall execute, the 

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) - Page 7
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee shall authenticate, and the Noteholder shall be entitled to 
obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee 
or transferees, one or more new Notes in any authorized denominations, of a 
like Maximum Note Principal Amount.

     At the option of the Noteholder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes 
in any 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 be entitled to 
obtain from the Indenture Trustee, the Notes which the Noteholder making the 
exchange is entitled to receive.

     Any 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 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.

     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.

     No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any registration of 
transfer or exchange of Notes, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum 
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed 
in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes, other 
than exchanges pursuant to Section 2.4 or Section 9.6 not involving any 
transfer.

     The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Issuer 
shall not be required to make and the Note Registrar need not register 
transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note for a 
period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such 
Note.

     Section 2.4  MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES.  If (i) any 
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 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, the Issuer 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 of 
a like principal amount; provided, however, that if any such destroyed, lost 
or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become or within 

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) - Page 8
<PAGE>

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, the Issuer 
may require the payment by the Holder of such Note, other than the Note 
Insurer, 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 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 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.

     Section 2.5  PERSONS DEEMED OWNER.  Prior to due presentment for 
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Note Insurer, the 
Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer, the Note Insurer or the 
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered 
(as of the day of determination) as the owner of such Note for the purpose of 
receiving payments of principal of and interest, if any, on such Note and for 
all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note be overdue, and none 
of the Issuer, the Note Insurer, the Indenture Trustee or any agent of the 
Issuer, the Note Insurer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice 
to the contrary.

     Section 2.6  PAYMENT OF PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST; DEFAULTED INTEREST.

     (a)  The Notes shall accrue interest as provided in the Sale and 
Servicing Agreement, and such interest shall be payable on each Payment Date 
as specified therein, subject to Section 3.1.  Any installment of interest or 
principal payable on any Note shall be paid on the applicable Payment Date to 
the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is 
registered in the Note Register as of the close of business on the related 
Record Date by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account 
specified in writing by the related Noteholder, except for the final 
installment of principal payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date 
following a 

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) - Page 9
<PAGE>

Conversion Date or on the Final Scheduled Payment Date for such Notes and 
except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for redemption pursuant 
to Section 10.1, which shall be payable as provided below.

     (b)  The principal of each Note shall be payable in installments on each 
Payment Date as provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire unpaid principal amount of the 
Notes shall be due and payable, if not previously paid, on the earlier of (i) 
the Final Scheduled Payment Date or (ii) the date on which an Event of 
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, if the Indenture Trustee or 
the Majority Noteholders have declared the Notes to be immediately due and 
payable in the manner provided in Section 5.2.  All principal payments on the

only upon presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place 
where such Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such 
installment.  A copy of such form of notice shall be sent to the Note Insurer 
by the Indenture Trustee.  No such notice shall be sent to the Noteholders or 
the Note Insurer unless a Conversion Date has occurred.  Notices in 
connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as 
provided in Section 10.2.

     (c)  Any reduction in the principal amount of any Notes (or any one or 
more Predecessor Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date 
shall be binding upon all future Holders of such Note and of any Note issued 
upon the registration of transfer of such Note or in exchange thereof or in 
lieu thereof, whether or not noted thereon.  Any increase in the principal 
amount of any Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by 
payments to the Issuer of Additional Note Principal Balances shall be binding 
upon the Issuer and shall inure to the benefit of all future holders of such 
Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in 
exchange thereof or in lieu thereof, whether or not noted thereon.

whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly canceled by the 
Indenture Trustee.  No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange 
for any Notes canceled as provided in this Section, except as expressly 
permitted by this Indenture.  All canceled Notes may be held or disposed of 
by the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or

Issuer Order that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided, that such 
Issuer Order is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by 
the Indenture Trustee.

                 of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee and the Note 
                 Insurer to the effect that:

                   (A)  the Issuer has been duly formed and is validly existing
          as a business trust under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has
          power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver this
          Indenture, the Insurance Agreement and the Sale and Servicing
          Agreement;

                   (B)  the issuance of the Notes has been duly and
          validly authorized by the Issuer;

                   (C)  the Notes, when executed and authenticated in 
          accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered 
          against payment therefor, will be the legal, valid and binding 
          obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the terms of this Indenture 
          and will be entitled to the benefits of this Indenture, and will be 
          enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, 
          insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent or 
          preferential conveyance and other similar laws of general 
          application affecting the rights of creditors generally and to

          enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

                   (D)  all instruments furnished to the Indenture Trustee as
          conditions precedent to the authentication of the Notes by the

          Indenture conform to the requirements of this Indenture and 
          constitute all the documents required to be delivered hereunder for 
          the Indenture Trustee to authenticate the Notes;

                    (E)  all conditions precedent provided for in this
          Indenture relating to the authentication of the Notes have been
          complied with;

                    (F)  assuming due authorization, execution and delivery 
          thereof by the Indenture Trustee, this Indenture has been duly 
          executed and delivered by Issuer and constitutes the legal, valid 
          and binding obligation of the Issuer, enforceable against the 
          Issuer in accordance with its terms, subject to bankruptcy, 
          insolvency, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium, fraudulent or 
          preferential conveyance and other similar laws of general 
          application affecting the rights of creditors generally and to 
          general principles of equity (regardless of whether such 
          enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

                    (G)  Neither the Issuer nor the Seller is or will, as a 
          result of the sale of the Notes as contemplated in the Note 
          Purchase Agreement, become an "investment company" or under the 
          "control" of an "investment company" as such terms are defined in 
          the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, which would be 
          required to register under such act.
          
                    (H)  The Notes will be treated as indebtedness for 
          federal income tax purposes and not as an ownership interest in the 
          assets of the Issuer or as an equity interest in the Issuer or in a 
          separate association taxable as a corporation.
          
                    (I)  As long as the Issuer has only a single owner, the 
          Issuer will be disregarded as an entity separate from such owner 
          for federal income tax purposes.
          
                    (J)  Upon creation of the Trust Estate under the 
          Indenture and delivery of the Notes by the Indenture Trustee for 
          value in accordance with the instructions of the Issuer and, in the 
          case of Subsequent Home Loans, upon the Grant for value thereof by 
          the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the applicable 
          Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Indenture will be effective to 
          create in favor of the Indenture Trustee a security interest under 
          the Uniform Commercial Code as currently in effect in the State of 
          New York (the "New York UCC") in all right, title and interest of 
          the Issuer in those portions of the Trust Estate in which a 
          security interest may be created pursuant to Article 9 of the New 
          York UCC; and
          
                    (K)  The security interest referred to in paragraph (J) 
          above in the items of the Trust Estate described below will be 
          perfected as described below:

                         (1)  The delivery by the Issuer to the Custodian, on 
               behalf of the Indenture Trustee, in the State of Texas of the 
               Debt Instruments pursuant to 

INDENTURE - (IBJ Warehouse) - Page 12
<PAGE>
               
               the Indenture will perfect such security interest in favor of 
               the Indenture Trustee under the Texas UCC in all right, title 
               and interest of the Issuer in such Debt Instruments and, 
               assuming the Indenture Trustee acquires its interest in such 
               Debt Instruments without knowledge that the same are subject 
               to a security interest (other than the security interest 
               created by the Indenture), the Indenture Trustee will acquire 
               such security interest in such Debt Instruments free and clear 
               of any prior lien of a kind which may be perfected under 
               Article 9 of the Texas UCC. The Debt Instruments constitute 
               "instruments" under Article 9 of the New York UCC and Article 
               9 of the Texas UCC.
               
                         (2) The security interest in the portion of the 
               Trust Estate constituting "proceeds" (as defined in Section 
               9.306(a) of the Texas UCC) from the Debt Instruments will be 
               perfected as and to the extent provided in Section 9.306 of 
               the Texas UCC and, assuming that none of such proceeds 
               represent proceeds (as defined in the Texas UCC) of collateral 
               in which another party has a prior perfected security 
               interest, the Indenture Trustee will acquire such security 
               interest in such proceeds free and clear of any prior lien of 
               a kind which may be perfected under Article 9 of the Texas UCC.
               
                         (3) The filing of the UCC-1 Financing Statement with 
               respect to the other assets comprising the Trust Estate which 
               constitute "general intangibles" under Article 9 of the New 
               York UCC and Article 9 of the Texas UCC (as used in this 
               Section,  the "Filing Collateral") with the Secretary of the 
               State of the State of Texas will perfect such security 
               interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee under the Texas UCC 
               in all right, title and interest of the Issuer in the Filing 
               Collateral in which a security interest may be perfected under 
               Article 9 of the Texas UCC and, assuming that the Filing 
               Collateral does not represent proceeds (as defined in the 
               Texas UCC) of collateral in which another secured party has a 
               prior perfected security interest, the Indenture Trustee will 
               acquire such security interest in the Filing Collateral free 
               and clear of any prior lien of a kind which may be perfected 
               under Article 9 of the Texas UCC.
               
                         (4) The security interest in the portion of the 
               Trust Estate constituting "proceeds" (as defined in Section 
               9.306(1) of the Texas UCC) from the Filing Collateral will be 
               perfected as and to the extent provided in Section 9.306 of 
               the Texas UCC  and, assuming that none of such proceeds 
               represents proceeds (as defined in the Texas UCC) of 
               collateral in which another party has a prior perfected 
               security interest, the Indenture Trustee will acquire such 
               security interest in such proceeds free and clear of any prior 
               lien of a kind which may be perfected under Article 9 of the 
               Texas UCC.

Issuer shall be personally liable for any amounts payable, or performance 
due, under the Notes or this Indenture.  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 the Borough of Manhattan, The City of New York, an office or agency where 
Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and where

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 Certificates.  The Issuer will give prompt 
written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in 
the location, of any such office or agency.  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.

8.02(c).

     Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuer Order with written notice 
thereof to the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer.  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.  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 (unless the Indenture Trustee is 
the 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 Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), 
subject to the provisions of this Section, 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 Note 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 trusts 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.

INDENTURE - (IBJ Warehouse) - Page 18
<PAGE>

     Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds or abandoned 
property, any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in 
trust for the payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and 
remaining unclaimed for two years after such amount has become due and 
payable shall be discharged from such trust and be paid to the Issuer on 
Issuer Request; and the Holder of such Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured 
general creditor, look only to the Issuer for payment thereof (but only to 
the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer), and all liability of the 
Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with respect to such trust money shall 
thereupon cease; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee or such Paying 
Agent, before being required to make any such repayment, shall at the expense 
and direction of the Issuer cause to be published once, in a newspaper 
published in the English language, customarily published on each Business Day 
and of general circulation in the City of New York, notice that such money 
remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified therein, which shall not 
be less than 30 days from the date of such publication, any unclaimed balance 
of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.  The Indenture 
Trustee shall also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of the 
Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment 
(including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders 
whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or 
whose right to or interest in moneys due and payable but not claimed is 
determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying 
Agent, at the last address of record for each such Holder).

     Section 3.4  EXISTENCE.

     (a)  Subject to Section 3.4(b), 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 Collateral.

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

     Section 3.5  PROTECTION OF COLLATERAL.  The Issuer will from time to 
time and upon the direction of the Majority Noteholders execute and deliver

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

or other instrument required to be executed pursuant to this Section 3.5.

     Section 3.6  ANNUAL OPINIONS AS TO COLLATERAL.

     On or before February 15 in each calendar year, beginning in 1998, the 
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the

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 February 15th of the following 
calendar year.

     Section 3.7  PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS; SERVICING OF HOME 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 Collateral 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 (including, without limitation, the Servicer to assist it in

supplement, termination, waiver or surrender of, the terms of any Collateral
(except to the extent otherwise provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement)
or (ii) waive timely performance or observance by the Servicer or the Seller

               or assert any claim against any present or former Noteholder

the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

     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 Majority Noteholders, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, may rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if (a) the
Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture Trustee a sum sufficient to pay
(i) 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 (ii) all sums
paid or advanced by the Indenture Trustee hereunder, if any, and the reasonable
compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and
its agents and counsel and (b) 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.

     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 is made 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 is made in the
payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note
when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer will, upon demand of the
Indenture Trustee and at the direction of the Majority Noteholders, pay to the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of the Notes and the Note
Insurer, 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, if any, of the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer and their
respective agents and counsel.

     (b)  In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such amounts upon such
demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee of an express
trust, shall at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders 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.

     (c)  If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee shall, at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.4, proceed to protect and enforce its rights
and the rights of the Note Insurer and the Noteholders, by such appropriate
Proceedings as the Indenture Trustee 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 Collateral, 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, shall be
entitled and empowered, upon the direction of the Majority Noteholders, by
intervention in such Proceedings 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 the Note Insurer, and their respective 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), the Note Insurer and the Noteholders allowed in such
     Proceedings;

          (ii) unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations, to vote on
     behalf of the Holders of Notes 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 Note Insurer and the
     Indenture Trustee 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 Note Insurer

INDENTURE (IBJ Wharehouse) -- Page 27
<PAGE>

     or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to
     the Issuer, its creditors and its property; and any trustee, receiver,
     liquidator, custodian or other similar official in any such Proceeding
     is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders and the Note Insurer 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 and the Note Insurer, 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, if any, 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 Note Insurer any plan of reorganization, arrangement,
adjustment or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder
thereof or the Note Insurer or to authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in
respect of the claim of any Noteholder 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 and the Note Insurer.

     (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.

     If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the
Indenture Trustee  shall, at the written direction of the Majority Noteholders,
do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.5):

           (i) institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee of an
     express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on the Notes
     or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by declaration or
     otherwise, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from the Issuer and
     any other obligor upon such Notes moneys adjudged due;

          (ii) institute Proceedings from time to time for the complete or
     partial foreclosure of this Indenture with respect to the Collateral;

INDENTURE (IBJ Wharehouse) -- Page 28
<PAGE>

         (iii) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the UCC and
     take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the rights and
     remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or the Noteholders;

          (iv) prior to a Conversion Date, sell the Collateral or any portion
     thereof or rights or interest therein pursuant to Section 12.02 of the
     Sale and Servicing Agreement; or

          (v) on any date on or after a Conversion Date, sell the Collateral
     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 Collateral 
     following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Holders of 100% of the
     Outstanding Amount of the Notes consent thereto, (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 or (C) the Indenture Trustee determines that the
     Collateral 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 Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding 
     Amount of the Notes.  In determining such sufficiency or insufficiency
     with respect to clause (B) and (C), 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 Collateral for 
     such purpose.

     If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to this
Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the order set forth in
Article 12.03 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.  At least 15
days before such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each
Noteholder, the Note Insurer 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 COLLATERAL.  If the Notes have
been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.2 following an Event of
Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, elect to maintain possession
of the Collateral.  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, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into
account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of the
Collateral.  In determining whether to maintain possession of the Collateral,
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
Collateral for such purpose.

INDENTURE (IBJ Wharehouse) -- Page 29

     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 for so long as a Note Insurer Default has not occurred or is
not continuing and if a Note Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
unless:

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

     (b)  the Holders of Outstanding Notes representing at least 25% of the
Outstanding Amount 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 Majority Noteholders.

     It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of Notes shall
have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing of, any
provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of any
other Holders of Notes 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.

     In the event the Indenture Trustee shall receive conflicting or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Holders of
Notes, each representing less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the
Notes, the Indenture Trustee in its sole discretion may determine what action,
if any, shall be taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

     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 Final Scheduled Payment Date thereof expressed in such Note or in
this Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption Date)
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, the Note Insurer 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, the Note Insurer or to such Noteholder, then and in
every such

INDENTURE (IBJ Wharehouse) -- Page 30

<PAGE>

case the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer 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 Note 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 Note Insurer or any Holder of any Note 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 Note 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 Note Insurer or by the Noteholders, as
the case may be, subject, in each case, however, to the right of the Note
Insurer to control any such right and remedy, except as provided in
Section 11.19.

     Section 5.11  CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS.  The Majority Noteholders 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;

     (b)  subject to the express terms of Section 5.4, any direction to the
Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be by Holders of
Outstanding Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount if
the proceeds of such sale would be less than the sum of all amounts due the
Indenture Trustee hereunder and the Aggregate Note Principal Balance and
interest due or to become due thereon on the Payment Date next succeeding such
sale, together with any amounts owing to the Note Insurer under the Guaranty
Policy and the Insurance Agreement;

     (c)  if the conditions set forth in Section 5.5 have been satisfied and
the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Collateral pursuant to such Section,
then any direction to the Indenture Trustee by Holders of Outstanding Notes
representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount to sell or liquidate the
Collateral 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.


INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) -- Page 31 
<PAGE>

     Notwithstanding the rights of the Note Insurer and the Noteholders set
forth in this Section, subject to Section 6.1, 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.

     Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Article V, the
Noteholders may not direct the Indenture Trustee to take any of the actions set
forth in Section 5.4(a) without the consent of the Note Insurer, if at the time
of such action any Guaranty Insurance Premium, any Note Insurer Reimbursement
Amount or any other amount is due and owing to the Note Insurer pursuant to the
Guaranty Policy or the Insurance Agreement.

     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, the
Majority Noteholders 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 Note Insurer or the
Holder of each Note, as applicable.  In the case of any such waiver, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer 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 or the Note Insurer, (b) any suit instituted by any
Noteholder, or group of Noteholders, in each case holding Outstanding Notes
representing in the aggregate more than 10% of the Outstanding Amount or (c)
any suit instituted by any Noteholder for the enforcement of the payment of
principal of or interest on any Note on or 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 

INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) -- Page 32 
<PAGE>

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 Collateral 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).

     Section 5.16  PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS.

     (a)  Promptly following a request from the Indenture Trustee to do so and
at the Servicer's expense, the Issuer shall take all such lawful action as the
Indenture Trustee may request to compel or secure the performance and
observance by the Seller and the 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, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of the
Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the
Seller or the 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 may, and at the direction (which direction shall be in writing) of the
Holders of Outstanding Notes representing at least 66-2/3% of the Outstanding
Amount shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of
the Issuer against the Seller or the 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 Seller or the 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.

                               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 shall not be liable for the action or inaction
of the Custodian, but 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;

          (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.

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

     (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.

INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) -- Page 34 
<PAGE>

     (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.

     (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; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the Indenture Trustee shall
not refuse or fail to perform any of its duties hereunder solely as a result of
nonpayment of its normal fees and expenses and further provided that nothing in
this Section 6.1(g) shall be construed to limit the exercise by the Indenture
Trustee of any right or remedy permitted under this Indenture or otherwise in
the event of the Issuer's failure to pay the Indenture Trustee's fees and
expenses pursuant to Section 6.7. In determining that such repayment or
indemnity is not reasonably assured to it, the Indenture Trustee must consider
not only the likelihood of repayment or indemnity by or on behalf of the Issuer
but also the likelihood of repayment or indemnity from amounts payable to it
from the Collateral pursuant to Section 6.7.

     Section 6.2  RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

     (a)  The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any 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 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 an Opinion of Counsel.

     (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.

     (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 with respect to legal matters relating to this Indenture and
the Notes 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.

     Section 6.3  INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.  The Indenture
Trustee in its individual capacity or in any capacity other than as Indenture
Trustee may, and in its capacity as Indenture Trustee may not, become the owner
or pledgee of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or 

INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) -- Page 35 
<PAGE>

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 Section 6.11.

     Section 6.4  INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER.  The Indenture Trustee shall
not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, shall not be accountable for the
Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes, or 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 known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Note Insurer and each Noteholder notice of
the Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of a Default in
payment of principal of or interest on any Note (including payments pursuant to
the mandatory redemption provisions of such 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.

     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 7.03 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement (which compensation shall not be limited by any law on
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) and shall be entitled to
reimbursement from the Servicer 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, if any, of the Indenture
Trustee's agents, counsel, accountants and experts.  The Issuer agrees to cause
the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee, its directors, officers,
employees and agents 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 and under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.  The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the
Servicer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the
Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve
the Issuer of its obligations hereunder.  The Issuer shall or shall cause the
Servicer to defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate
counsel and the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and
expenses of such counsel.  Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse
any expense or indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the
Indenture Trustee that is attributable to the Indenture Trustee's own willful
misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

     The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture.  When the Indenture
Trustee incurs expenses after the 

INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) -- Page 36 
<PAGE>

occurrence of a Default specified in Section 5.1(e) or (f) with respect to 
the Issuer, the expenses 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 pursuant to this Section.  The Indenture Trustee may resign
at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Note Insurer.  The Majority
Noteholders may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture
Trustee and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove
the Indenture Trustee upon the prior written consent of the Note Insurer if:

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

     (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.

     If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason, other than by reason of a
removal by the Majority Noteholders as provided above, (the Indenture Trustee
in such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the
Note Insurer and that satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 6.11.

     The retiring or removed Indenture Trustee agrees to cooperate with the
Servicer and any successor Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of
the retiring or removed Indenture Trustee's responsibilities and rights
hereunder and shall promptly provide such successor Indenture Trustee all
documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the
Indenture Trustee's functions hereunder.  Any successor Indenture Trustee shall
have all the rights, powers and duties of the Indenture Trustee under this
Indenture.

     The retiring or removed Indenture Trustee shall grant to the successor
Indenture Trustee the Collateral, including, without limitation, all of the
Indenture Trustee's Home Loan Files, the related documents and statements held
by it hereunder, and the Seller, the Servicer, the Issuer and the retiring or
removed Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do
such other things as may reasonably be required for more fully and certainly
vesting and confirming in the successor Indenture Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.

     The successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring or removed Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer, the
Servicer, the Seller and the Issuer.  The successor Indenture Trustee shall
mail a notice of its succession to Noteholders.  The retiring 

INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) -- Page 37 
<PAGE>

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 at least a majority of the 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, any Noteholder
may 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, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.7 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.  The Indenture Trustee shall provide
the Note Insurer and the Rating Agencies prior written notice of any such
transaction.

     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 and 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 Collateral may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee
shall have the power and may execute 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 Estate, and to vest in such
Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Noteholders,
such title to the Collateral, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, 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 

INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) -- Page 38 
<PAGE>

and no notice to Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate 
trustee shall be required under Section 6.8 hereof; provided that the 
Indenture Trustee shall deliver notice of any such co-trustee or separate 
trustee to the Note Insurer.

     (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 Collateral 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 Indenture 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 Indenture 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.

     Section 6.11  ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION.  There shall at all times be
a trustee hereunder (i) which shall be a corporation or association organized
and doing business under the laws of the United States of America or of any
State, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust

forth in its most recent published report of condition, subject to supervision 
or examination by federal or state authority and having an office within the

a long-term unsecured debt rating of "A-" or better by Standard & Poor's and 
"A3" or better by Moody's, or shall otherwise be acceptable to each Rating 
Agency.  If such corporation publishes reports of condition at least annually, 
pursuant to law or to the requirements of the aforesaid supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and 
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and 
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published.  If 
at any time the Indenture Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with 
the provisions of this Section, it shall resign immediately in the manner and 
with the effect specified in this Article.

     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

in general terms the substance of such supplemental indenture. It shall not be
necessary for any Act of Noteholders under this Section 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

Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture.  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 and 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

     Section 9.5  [RESERVED]

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

                              RETIREMENT OF NOTES

     Section 10.1  RETIREMENT.

     (a)  On any date on or after a Conversion Date, the Issuer may, at its
option, effect an early retirement of the Notes on or after any Payment Date on
which the Aggregate Note Principal Balance declines to 15% or less of the Pool
Principal Balance of the Home Loans pledged to the Trust Estate as of the
Conversion Date.  The Issuer shall effect such early retirement by directing
the Indenture Trustee to arrange for the sale of all of the Home Loans to a
person that is not an Affiliate of the Issuer, the Seller, or the Servicer at a
price not less than the Redemption Price plus an amount equal to any unpaid
Servicing Compensation, Guaranty Insurance Premium, Facility Fee and Note
Insurer Reimbursement Amounts.  In connection with any such early retirement,
to the extent that sufficient proceeds are not available from the sale of the
Home Loans, the Issuer shall be required to pay the outstanding fees and
expenses, if any, of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer, and the Servicer.

     (b)  Subject to Section 11.17, on any date on or after a Conversion Date
and on or after which (i) 17.5% or more (based on Net Loan Losses) of the Home
Loans have become Defaulted Home Loans on a cumulative basis and (ii) the
Overcollateralization Amount has been reduced to zero or an amount less than
zero, then the Note Insurer may, at its option, effect an early retirement of
the Notes and termination of this Agreement.

     Any such early retirement of the Notes by the Note Insurer shall be
accomplished by the Note Insurer (i) sending notice to the Indenture Trustee of
all information described in Section 10.2 and (ii) depositing or causing to be
deposited into the Collection Account by 10:00 A.M. New York City time on the
third Business Day prior to the Redemption Date the amount of the Redemption
Price plus an amount equal to any unpaid Servicing Compensation, Guaranty
Insurance Premium, Facility Fee and Note Insurer Reimbursement Amounts.  On the
same day that such amounts are deposited into the Collection Account, such
amounts and any amounts then on deposit in the Collection Account (other than
any amounts not required to have been deposited therein pursuant to
Section 5.01(b)(1) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement) shall be transferred to
the Note Payment Account for payment to the Noteholders on the Redemption Date;
and any amounts received with respect to the Home Loans and Foreclosure
Properties subsequent to such transfer shall belong to the Note Insurer.  For
purposes of calculating the Required Payment Amount for the Redemption Date,
amounts transferred to the Note Payment Account pursuant to the immediately
preceding sentence on the Determination Date immediately preceding such final
Payment Date shall in all cases be deemed to have been received during the
related Due Period, and such transfer shall be made pursuant to Section 5.01(c)
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     (c)  The Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish each Rating Agency, the Note
Insurer and the Arranger notice of any such early retirement in accordance with
Section 10.2.

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) -- Page 46
<PAGE>

     Section 10.2  FORM OF RETIREMENT NOTICE.  Notice of early retirement under
Section 10.1 shall be given by the Indenture Trustee by first-class mail,
postage prepaid, or by facsimile mailed or transmitted not later than 10 days
prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Noteholder, as of the close of
business on the Record Date preceding the applicable Redemption Date, at such
Noteholder's address or facsimile number appearing in the Note Register.

     All notices of early retirement shall state:

            (i) the Redemption Date;

           (ii) the Redemption Price; and

          (iii) the place where such Notes are to be surrendered for payment of
      the Redemption Price (which shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to
      be maintained as provided in Section 3.2).

     Notice of early retirement of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture
Trustee in the name of the [ISSUER] and at the expense of the [SERVICER].
Failure to give notice of early retirement, or any defect therein, to any
Noteholder shall not impair or affect the validity of the early retirement of
any other Note.

     Section 10.3  NOTES PAYABLE ON REDEMPTION DATE; PROVISION FOR PAYMENT OF
INDENTURE TRUSTEE AND NOTE INSURER.  The Notes or portions thereof to be
redeemed shall, following notice of early retirement as required by Section
10.2 (in the case of redemption pursuant to Section 10.1), on the Redemption
Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless the Issuer or
the Note Insurer, as applicable, shall default in the payment of the Redemption
Price) no interest shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after
the date to which accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating
the Redemption Price.

                                     ARTICLE XI

                                   MISCELLANEOUS

     Section 11.1  COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS, ETC.  Upon any
application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any
action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the
Indenture Trustee (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 and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in
the opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been
complied with, 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:

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) -- Page 47
<PAGE>

           (i) 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;

          (ii) 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;

         (iii) 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

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

     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 Servicer, the Seller, or the Issuer stating that the
information with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the
Servicer, the Seller, 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

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) -- Page 48
<PAGE>

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.

     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 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) conclusive in
favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in the manner provided
in this Section.

     (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 (or any one or more
Predecessor 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, ETC., TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE, ISSUER, RATING
AGENCIES, NOTE INSURER AND ARRANGER.  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: FIRSTPLUS FUNDING TRUST, 1600
Viceroy Drive, Dallas, Texas 75235, Attention: Lee F. Reddin, or at any other
address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture Trustee by the Issuer.

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) -- Page 49
<PAGE>

The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice received by it from the
Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

     Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or mailed by
certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of Moody's, at the
following address: Moody's Investors Service, Inc., Residential Mortgage
Monitoring Department, 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007, and (ii) in
the case of Standard & Poor's, at the following address: Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group, 26 Broadway (15th Floor), New York, New York 10004, Attention of
Asset Backed Surveillance Department; or as to each of the foregoing, at such
other address as shall be designated by written notice to the other parties.

     Notices required to be given to the Note Insurer or the Arranger by the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered or
mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to (i) in the case of the
Note Insurer, at the following address:MBIA Insurance Corporation, 113 King
Street, Armonk, New York 10504, Attention:Insured Portfolio Management -
Structured Finance (IPM-SF) and (ii) in the case of the Arranger, at the
following address:The Industrial Bank of Japan, Limited, New York Branch, 245
Park Avenue, New York, New York 10167, Attention:Warren Kornfeld, or 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.

INDENTURE (IBJ Warehouse) -- Page 50

<PAGE>

     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, and shall not under any circumstance constitute a Default or Event
of Default.

     Section 11.6  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 11.7  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 11.8  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 11.9  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, and any other party
secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership interest in any part
of the Collateral, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim
under this Indenture, except that the Note Insurer is an express third party
beneficiary to this Indenture as provided in Section 11.18.

     Section 11.10  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 11.11  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 11.12  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 11.13  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 Opinion of Counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indenture
Trustee) to the effect that such recording is necessary either for the
protection of the 


INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) - Page 51

<PAGE>

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 11.14  ISSUER OBLIGATION.  Each Noteholder by its acceptance of a
Note, covenants and agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer 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 in its individual capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner, beneficiary, agent,
officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture Trustee in its individual
capacity, any holder of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee has no such obligations in its
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.

     Section 11.15  NO PETITION.  Until the date that is one year and one day
after the last day on which any Note is Outstanding, the Indenture Trustee, by
entering into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note,
hereby covenant and agree that they will not at any time institute against the
Seller, the Servicer or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the
Seller, the 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 Basic
Documents.

     Section 11.16  INSPECTION.  The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it will permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee or the Note
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 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 11.17  GRANT OF NOTEHOLDER RIGHTS TO NOTE INSURER.  In
consideration for the guarantee of the Notes by the Note Insurer pursuant to
the Guaranty Policy, the Noteholders hereby grant to the Note Insurer the right
to act as the holder of 100% of the outstanding Notes for the purpose of
exercising the rights of the Holders of the Notes hereunder without the consent
of any Noteholders, including the voting rights of such Holders, but excluding
(i) the rights of the Majority Noteholders to exercise remedies following an
Event of Default pursuant to Section 5.4, but only during the period following
a Conversion Event and prior to a Conversion Date, (ii) those rights requiring
the 


INDENTURE (IBJ WAREHOUSE) - Page 52

<PAGE>

consent of each affected Noteholder as provided in paragraphs (a) through (g) 
of Section 9.2 and (iii) any rights of such Holders to distributions under 
Section 8.2; provided that the preceding grant of rights to the Note Insurer 
by the Noteholders shall be subject to Section 11.19.

     Section 11.18  THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY.  The parties hereto acknowledge
that the Note Insurer is an express third party beneficiary hereof entitled to
enforce any rights reserved to it hereunder as if it were actually a party
hereto.

     Section 11.19  SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF NOTE INSURER'S RIGHTS.

     (a)  During the continuation of a Note Insurer Default, the grant of
rights to the Note Insurer pursuant to Section 11.17 shall be of no force or
effect, and any other rights granted or reserved to the Note Insurer hereunder
shall vest instead in the Majority Noteholders; provided that the Note Insurer
shall be entitled to any distributions in reimbursement of the Note Insurer
Reimbursement Amount, and the Note Insurer shall retain those rights under
Section 9.2 hereof to consent to any supplement to this Indenture.

     (b)  At such time as either (i) the Aggregate Note Principal Balance has
been reduced to zero and all accrued interest has been paid on the Notes or
(ii) the Guaranty Policy has been terminated and in either case of (i) or (ii)
the Note Insurer has been reimbursed for all Guaranteed Payments and any other
amounts owed under the Guaranty Policy and the Insurance Agreement (and the
Note Insurer no longer has any obligation under the Guaranty Policy, except for
breach thereof by the Note Insurer), then the grant of rights to the Note
Insurer pursuant to Section 11.17 shall be of no further force or effect and
any other rights and benefits granted or reserved to the Note Insurer hereunder
(including the rights to direct certain actions and receive certain notices)
shall terminate and the Noteholders shall be entitled to the exercise of such
rights and to receive such benefits of the Note Insurer following such
termination to the extent that such rights and benefits are applicable to the
Noteholders.
