paragraph, deposit, on the same day as it is received from the Master Servicer,
each remittance received by the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Home
Loans. The Indenture Trustee shall make all payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes, subject to Section 3.03, as provided in Section 3.05
herein from monies on deposit in the Payment Account.

         Section 3.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Issuer will maintain
in the City of New York, an office or agency where, subject to satisfaction of
conditions set forth herein, Notes may be surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in
respect of the Notes and this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby
initially appoints the Indenture Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing
purposes. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or
agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof,
such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the Corporate
Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent
to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

         Section 3.03. MONEY FOR PAYMENTS TO BE HELD IN TRUST; PAYING AGENT. (a)
As provided in Section 3.01, all payments of amounts due and payable with
respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment
Account pursuant to Section 3.01 shall be made on behalf of the Issuer by the
Indenture Trustee or by the Paying Agent, and no amounts so withdrawn from the
Payment Account for payments of Notes shall be paid over to the Issuer except as
provided in this Section 3.03.

         The Issuer will cause each Paying Agent other than the Indenture
Trustee 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 3.03, 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 Credit Enhancer
         written notice of any default by the Issuer 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;



                                        5

<PAGE>



                        (iv) immediately resign as 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;

                         (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; and

                        (vi) deliver to the Indenture Trustee a copy of the
         report to Noteholders prepared with respect to each Payment Date by the
         Master Servicer pursuant to Section 4.01 of the Servicing Agreement.

         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
Request 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.

         Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds, 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 one year
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
an Authorized Newspaper, 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 may 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 monies 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 3.04. EXISTENCE. 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, the Home Loans and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

also any available exceptions to such general definition); provided, however,
that the Issuer shall be in compliance with this Section 3.15 if it shall have
obtained an order exempting it from regulation as an "investment company" so
long as it is in compliance with the conditions imposed in such order.

         transaction, no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing;

                       (iii) the Issuer receives consent of the Credit Enhancer
         and the Rating Agencies shall have notified the Issuer that such

                                   ARTICLE IV

               The Notes; Satisfaction and Discharge of Indenture

         Section 4.01. THE NOTES. The Notes shall be registered in the name of a
nominee designated by the Depository. Beneficial Owners will hold interests in
the Notes as set forth in Section 4.06 herein in minimum initial Note Balances
of $25,000 and integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.

         The Indenture Trustee may for all purposes (including the making of
payments due on the Notes) deal with the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Beneficial Owners with respect to the Notes for the
purposes of exercising the rights of Holders of Notes hereunder. Except as
provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of
Beneficial Owners with respect to the Notes shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Beneficial Owners and the
Depository and Depository Participants. Except as provided in Section 4.08,
Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive certificates for the Notes
as to which they are the Beneficial Owners. Requests and directions from, and
votes of, the Depository as Holder of the Notes shall not be deemed inconsistent
if they are made with respect to different Beneficial Owners. The Indenture
Trustee may establish a reasonable record date in connection with solicitations
of consents from or voting by Noteholders and give notice to the Depository of
such record date. Without the consent of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
no Note may be transferred by the Depository except to a successor Depository
that agrees to hold such Note for the account of the Beneficial Owners.

         In the event the Depository Trust Company resigns or is removed as
Depository, the Indenture Trustee with the approval of the Issuer may appoint a
successor Depository. If no successor Depository has been appointed within 30
days of the effective date of the Depository's resignation or removal, each
Beneficial Owner shall be entitled to certificates representing the Notes it
beneficially owns in the manner prescribed in Section 4.08.

         The Notes shall, on original issue, be executed on behalf of the Issuer
by the Owner Trustee, not in its individual capacity but solely as Owner
Trustee, authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the Indenture
Trustee to or upon the order of the Issuer.

         Section 4.02. REGISTRATION OF AND LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER AND EXCHANGE
OF NOTES; APPOINTMENT OF CERTIFICATE REGISTRAR. The Issuer shall cause to be
kept at the Indenture Trustee's Corporate Trust Office a Note Register in which,
subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar
shall provide for the registration of Notes and of transfers and exchanges of
Notes as herein provided.

         Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below, upon
surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust
Office, the Issuer shall execute and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Notes in authorized initial Note Balances evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interests.

         Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the Noteholders, Notes may
be exchanged for other Notes of like tenor, in authorized initial Note Balances
evidencing the same aggregate Percentage


                                       17

<PAGE>



Interests upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Note Registrar. Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for
exchange, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and the Note Registrar shall
authenticate and deliver the Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Each Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Note Registrar) be duly
endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly executed by, the Holder
thereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing with such signature
guaranteed by a commercial bank or trust company located or having a
correspondent located in the city of New York. Notes delivered upon any such
transfer or exchange will evidence the same obligations, and will be entitled to
the same rights and privileges, as the Notes surrendered.

         No service charge shall be imposed for any registration of transfer or
exchange of Notes, but the Note Registrar shall require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Notes.

         All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall
be cancelled by the Note Registrar and delivered to the Indenture Trustee for
subsequent destruction without liability on the part of either.

         The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as Certificate
Registrar to keep at its Corporate Trust Office a Certificate Register pursuant
to Section 3.09 of the Trust Agreement in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall provide for the
registration of Certificates and of transfers and exchanges thereof pursuant to
Section 3.05 of the Trust Agreement. The Indenture Trustee hereby accepts such
appointment.

         Each purchaser of a Note, by its acceptance of the Note, shall be
deemed to have represented that either (i) it is not a Plan nor is it acquiring
a Note with Plan Assets or (2) the acquisition of such Note by the purchaser
does not constitute or give rise to a prohibited transaction under Section 406
of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, for which no statutory, regulatory or
administrative exemption is available.

         Section 4.03. 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,
and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC are met, 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; provided, however, that if
any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have
become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead of issuing a
replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when so
due or payable 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


                                       18

<PAGE>



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

         Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 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 4.03 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 4.04. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any
agent of the Issuer 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 Indenture Trustee or any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         Section 4.05. CANCELLATION. All Notes surrendered for payment,
registration of transfer, exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture Trustee, be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation any Notes previously
authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any
manner whatsoever, and all Notes so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the
Indenture Trustee. No Notes shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for
any Notes cancelled as provided in this Section 4.05, except as expressly
permitted by this Indenture. All cancelled Notes may be held or disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee in accordance with its standard retention or disposal
policy as in effect at the time unless the Issuer shall direct by an Issuer
Request that they be destroyed or returned to it; provided however, that such
Issuer Request is timely and the Notes have not been previously disposed of by
the Indenture Trustee.

         Section 4.06. BOOK-ENTRY NOTES. Each Class of Notes shall initially be
issued as one or more Notes held by the Book-Entry Custodian or, if appointed to
hold such Notes as provided below, the Depository Trust Company, the initial
Depository, and registered in the name of its nominee Cede & Co. Except as
provided below, registration of such Notes may not be transferred by the


                                       19

<PAGE>



Indenture Trustee except to another Depository that agrees to hold such Notes
for the respective Beneficial Owners. The Indenture Trustee is hereby initially
appointed as the Book-Entry Custodian and hereby agrees to act as such in
accordance herewith and in accordance with the agreement that it has with the
Depository authorizing it to act as such. The Book-Entry Custodian may, and, if
it is no longer qualified to act as such, the Book-Entry Custodian shall,
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Depositor, the Master Servicer
and, if the Indenture Trustee is not the Book-Entry Custodian, the Indenture
Trustee, any other transfer agent (including the Depository or any successor
Depository) to act as Book-Entry Custodian under such conditions as the
predecessor Book-Entry Custodian and the Depository or any successor Depository
may prescribe, provided that the predecessor Book-Entry Custodian shall not be
relieved of any of its duties or responsibilities by reason of any new
appointment, except if the Depository is the successor to the Book-Entry
Custodian. If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed in accordance with the
terms hereof, the successor trustee or, if it so elects, the Depository shall
immediately succeed to its predecessor's duties as Book-Entry Custodian. The
Depositor shall have the right to inspect, and to obtain copies of, any Notes
held as Book-Entry Notes by the Book-Entry Custodian. No Beneficial Owner will
receive a Definitive Note representing such Beneficial Owner's interest in such
Note, except as provided in Section 4.08. Unless and until definitive, fully
registered Notes (the "Definitive Notes") have been issued to Beneficial Owners
pursuant to Section 4.08:

                           (i) the provisions of this Section 4.06 shall be in
full force and effect;

                           (ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to deal with the Depository for all purposes of this Indenture
(including the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes and the giving
of instructions or directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Notes, and
shall have no obligation to the Owners of Notes;

                           (iii) to the extent that the provisions of this
Section 4.06 conflict with any other provisions of this Indenture, the
provisions of this Section 4.06 shall control;

                           (iv) the rights of Beneficial Owners shall be
exercised only through the Depository and shall be limited to those established
by law and agreements between such Owners of Notes and the Depository and/or the
Depository Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are issued pursuant
to Section 4.08, the initial Depository will make book-entry transfers among the
Depository Participants and receive and transmit payments of principal of and
interest on the Notes to such Depository Participants; and

                           (v) whenever this Indenture requires or permits
actions to be taken based upon instructions or directions of Holders of Notes
evidencing a specified percentage of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes,
the Depository shall be deemed to represent such percentage only to the extent
that it has received instructions to such effect from Beneficial Owners and/or
Depository Participants owning or representing, respectively, such required
percentage of the beneficial interest in the Notes and has delivered such
instructions to the Indenture Trustee.

         Section 4.07. NOTICES TO DEPOSITORY. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Note Holders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to
Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and


                                       20

<PAGE>



communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the
Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners.

         Section 4.08. DEFINITIVE NOTES. If (i) the Indenture Trustee determines
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly discharge its
responsibilities with respect to the Notes and the Indenture Trustee is unable
to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Indenture Trustee elects to terminate
the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, Owners of Notes representing beneficial interests aggregating
at least a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes advise the
Depository in writing that the continuation of a book- entry system through the
Depository is no longer in the best interests of the Beneficial Owners, then the
Depository shall notify all Beneficial Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to
Beneficial Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee
of the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Book-Entry
Custodian or the Depository, as applicable, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the
Depository. None of the Issuer, the Note Registrar or the Indenture Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

         Section 4.09. TAX TREATMENT. The Issuer has entered into this
Indenture, and the Notes will be issued, with the intention that, for federal,
state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes
will qualify as indebtedness of the Issuer. The Issuer, by entering into this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note (and each
Beneficial Owner by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry
Note), agree to treat the Notes for federal, state and local income, single
business and franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

         Section 4.10. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. This Indenture
shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes except as to (i)
rights of registration of transfer and exchange, (ii) substitution of mutilated,

         stating that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to
         the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied
         with and, if the Opinion of Counsel relates to a deposit made in
         connection with Section 4.10(A)(2)b. above, such opinion shall further
         be to the effect that such deposit will not have any material adverse
         tax consequences to the Issuer, any Noteholders or any
         Certificateholders.

         Section 4.11. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. All monies deposited with the

Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent or
Certificate Paying Agent, as the Indenture Trustee may determine, to the Holders
of Securities, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and
interest; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required herein or required by law.

         Section 4.12. SUBROGATION AND COOPERATION. (a) The Issuer and the
Indenture Trustee acknowledge that (i) to the extent the Credit Enhancer makes
payments under the Credit Enhancement Instrument on account of principal of or
interest on the Home Loans, the Credit Enhancer will be fully subrogated to the
rights of the Noteholders to receive such principal and interest from the Home
Loans, and (ii) the Credit Enhancer shall be paid such principal and interest
but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in the Insurance
Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.

Credit Enhancer's rights or interest under this Indenture or the Insurance
Agreement, consistent with this Indenture and without limiting the rights


                                       22

<PAGE>



of the Noteholders as otherwise set forth in the Indenture, including, without
limitation, upon the occurrence and continuance of a default under the Insurance
Agreement, a request to take any one or more of the following actions:

                        (i) institute Proceedings for the collection of all
         amounts then payable on the Notes, or under this Indenture in respect
         to the Notes and all amounts payable under the Insurance Agreement and
         to enforce any judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer monies
         adjudged due;

                        (ii) sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
         rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private Sales (as
         defined in Section 5.15 hereof) called and conducted in any manner
         permitted by law;

                        (iii) file or record all assignments that have not
         previously been recorded;

                        (iv) institute Proceedings from time to time for the
         complete or partial foreclosure of this Indenture; and

                         (v) exercise any remedies of a secured party under the
         Uniform Commercial Code and take any other appropriate action to
         protect and enforce the rights and remedies of the Credit Enhancer
         hereunder.

                  Following the payment in full of the Notes, the Credit
Enhancer shall continue to have all rights and privileges provided to it under
this Section and in all other provisions of this Indenture, until all amounts
owing to the Credit Enhancer have been paid in full.

         Section 4.13. REPAYMENT OF MONIES HELD BY PAYING AGENT. In connection
with the satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the Notes,
all monies then held by any Person other than the Indenture Trustee under the
provisions of this Indenture with respect to such Notes shall, upon demand of
the Issuer, be paid to the Indenture Trustee to be held and applied according to
Section 3.05 and thereupon such Paying Agent shall be released from all further
liability with respect to such monies.

         Section 4.14. TEMPORARY NOTES. Pending the preparation of any
Definitive Notes, the Issuer may execute and upon its written direction, the
Indenture Trustee may authenticate and make available for delivery, temporary
Notes that are printed, lithographed, typewritten, photocopied or otherwise
produced, in any denomination, substantially of the tenor of the Definitive
Notes in lieu of which they are issued and with such appropriate insertions,
omissions, substitutions and other variations as the officers executing such
Notes may determine, as evidenced by their execution of such Notes.

         If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause Definitive Notes
to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the preparation of the
Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable for Definitive Notes
upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture
Trustee, without charge to the Holder. Upon surrender for cancellation of any
one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and make


                                       23

<PAGE>



available for delivery, in exchange therefor, Definitive Notes of authorized
denominations and of like tenor and aggregate principal amount. Until so
exchanged, such temporary Notes shall in all respects be entitled to the same
benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

                              Default and Remedies

         Section 5.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Issuer shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee and the Credit Enhancer, within five days after learning of
the occurrence any event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time
would become an Event of Default under clause (iii) of the definition of "Event
of Default" written notice in the form of an Officer's Certificate of its status
and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

         Section 5.02. ACCELERATION OF MATURITY; RESCISSION AND ANNULMENT. If an
Event of Default should occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the
Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes representing not less than a majority
of the aggregate Note Balance of all Notes with the written consent of the
Credit Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer may declare the Notes to be immediately
due and payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer (and to the Indenture
Trustee if given by Noteholders), and upon any such declaration the unpaid
principal amount of such Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest
thereon through the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and
payable.

         At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity with
respect to an Event of Default 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 Holders of Notes representing a
majority of the aggregate Note Balance of all Notes, by written notice to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee with the written consent of the Credit
Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer, may in writing waive the related Event of
Default and rescind and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

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

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

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

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

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

         Section 5.03. COLLECTION OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUITS FOR ENFORCEMENT BY
INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

         (a) The Issuer covenants that if default in the payment of (i) any
interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default
continues for a period of five days, or (ii) the principal of or any installment
of the principal of any Note when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer
shall, upon demand of the Indenture Trustee, pay to it, for the benefit of the
Holders of Notes, the whole amount then due and payable on the Notes for
principal and interest, with interest upon the overdue principal, and in
addition thereto such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs
and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its 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, subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof may 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 the Notes and collect in the manner provided by
law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

         (c) If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the Indenture
Trustee subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof may, as more
particularly provided in Section 5.04, in its discretion, proceed to protect and
enforce its rights and the rights of 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 Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United States Code or any
other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law,
or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or reorganization,
liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been appointed for or
taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other obligor or Person,
or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or property of the Issuer
or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, irrespective of whether the
principal of any Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by
declaration or otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall
have made any demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be
entitled and empowered, 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 and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective
         agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses
         and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the


                                       26

<PAGE>



         Indenture Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a
         result of negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith) and of 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 monies or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to distribute all amounts
         received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of 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 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 to make
payments to the Indenture Trustee, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee
shall consent to the making of payments directly to such Noteholders, to pay to
the Indenture Trustee such amounts as shall be sufficient to cover reasonable
compensation to the Indenture Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and
their respective agents, attorneys and counsel, and all other expenses and
liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence, willful
misconduct 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 any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or
composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

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

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

         Section 5.04. REMEDIES; PRIORITIES. (a) If an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee subject to the provisions
of Section 10.17 hereof may with the


                                       27

<PAGE>



written consent of the Credit Enhancer, or shall at the written direction of the
Credit Enhancer, do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05):

                         (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, and all amounts payable under the
         Insurance Agreement, enforce any judgment obtained, and collect from
         the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged due;

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

                       (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 and the Holders of the
         Notes; and

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

provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise
liquidate the Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the Holders of 100% of the aggregate
Note Balance of the Notes and the Credit Enhancer, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, (B) the proceeds of such Sale distributable to Holders
are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon the
Notes for principal and interest and to reimburse the Credit Enhancer for any
amounts drawn under the Credit Enhancement Instrument and any other amounts due
the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement or (C) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Home Loans will not continue to provide sufficient funds for
the payment of principal of and interest on the Notes as they would have become
due if the Notes had not been declared due and payable, and the Indenture
Trustee obtains the consent of the Credit Enhancer, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, and of the Holders of 66 2/3% of the aggregate Note
Balance 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 Trust Estate for such purpose. Following an Event of
Liquidation, on the related Dissolution Payment Date the Indenture Trustee shall
make a draw on the Credit Enhancement Instrument in an amount equal to the
Dissolution Draw, less any payments made to the Indenture Trustee with respect
to that date under the Limited Reimbursement Agreement, pursuant to Section 3.27
and shall distribute such amount as set forth in Section 5.04(b) below.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long as a Servicing Default has not occurred,
any Sale of the Trust Estate shall be made subject to the continued servicing of
the Home Loans by the Master Servicer as provided in the Servicing Agreement.

         (b) If the Indenture Trustee collects any money or property pursuant to
this Article V, it shall pay out the money or property in the following order:

                  FIRST: to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under
                  Section 6.07;


                                       28

<PAGE>



                  SECOND: to the Holders of the Notes for amounts due and unpaid
                  on the Notes for interest, according to the amounts due and
                  payable on such Notes for interest from amounts available in
                  the Trust Estate for such Noteholders;

                  THIRD: to Holders of the Notes for amounts due and unpaid on
                  the Notes for principal, from amounts available in the Trust
                  Estate for such Noteholders, according to the amounts due and
                  payable on the Notes for principal, until the related Note
                  Balances of the Notes are reduced to zero;

                  FOURTH:        [reserved];

                  FIFTH: to the payment of all amounts due and owing to the
                  Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement;

                  SIXTH: to the Certificate Paying Agent for amounts due under
                  Article VIII of the Trust Agreement; and

                  SEVENTH: to the payment of the remainder, if any, to the
                  Issuer or any other person legally entitled thereto.

         The Indenture Trustee may fix a record date and payment date for any
payment to Noteholders pursuant to this Section 5.04. At least 15 days before
such record date, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder a notice
that states the record date, the payment date and the amount to be paid.

         Section 5.05. Optional Preservation of the Trust Estate. If the Notes
have been declared to be due and payable under Section 5.02 following an Event
of Default and such declaration and its consequences have not been rescinded and
annulled, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, (but shall at the written
direction of the Credit Enhancer) elect to take and maintain possession of the
Trust Estate. It is the desire of the parties hereto and the Noteholders that
there be at all times sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and
interest on the Notes and other obligations of the Issuer including payment to
the Credit Enhancer, and the Indenture Trustee shall take such desire into
account when determining whether or not to take and maintain possession of the
Trust Estate. In determining whether to take and maintain possession of the
Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon an
opinion of an Independent investment banking or accounting firm of national
reputation as to the feasibility of such proposed action and as to the
sufficiency of the Trust Estate for such purpose.

         Section 5.06. LIMITATION OF SUITS. No Holder of any Note shall have any
right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other
remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof:

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



                                       29

<PAGE>



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

                      (iii) 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;

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

                        (v) no direction inconsistent with such written request
         has been given to the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by
         the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes or
         by the Credit Enhancer.

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 aggregate Note Balance 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 5.07. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE PRINCIPAL
AND INTEREST. Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the Holder
of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture 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 5.08. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the Indenture
Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any right or
remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their respective
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 5.09. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or remedy herein
conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Credit Enhancer 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


                                       30

<PAGE>



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 Credit Enhancer or any Holder of any Note to exercise
any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any such
right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Indenture Trustee or to the Noteholders may be exercised from time to
time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Indenture Trustee or by
the Noteholders, as the case may be.

         Section 5.11. CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS. The Holders of a majority of the
aggregate Note Balance of Notes with the consent of the Credit Enhancer, or the
Credit Enhancer (so long as no Credit Enhancer Default exists) 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:

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

                       (ii) subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any
         direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate the Trust
         Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing not less than 100% of
         the aggregate Note Balance of Notes with the consent of the Credit
         Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer (so long as no Credit Enhancer Default
         exists);

                      (iii) if the conditions set forth in Section 5.05 have
         been satisfied and the Indenture Trustee elects to retain the Trust
         Estate pursuant to such Section, then any direction to the Indenture
         Trustee by Holders of Notes representing less than 100% of the
         aggregate Note Balance of Notes to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate
         shall be of no force and effect; and

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

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section, subject to
Section 6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines
might involve it in liability or might materially adversely affect the rights of
any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

         Section 5.12. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the declaration of the
acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in Section 5.02, the
Holders of Notes of not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of
the Notes with the consent of the Credit Enhancer, or the Credit Enhancer (so
long as no Credit Enhancer Default exists) may waive any past Event of Default
and its consequences except an Event of Default (a) with respect to payment of
principal of or interest on any of the Notes or (b) in respect of a covenant or
provision hereof which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the
Holder of each Note. In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be restored to their former positions
and


                                       31

<PAGE>



rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall extend to any
subsequent or other Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

         Upon any such waiver, 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 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 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by
the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the
aggregate Note Balance of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder
for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.

         Section 5.14. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer covenants
(to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist
upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or
advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time
hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this
Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
shall 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. SALE OF TRUST ESTATE. (a) The power to effect any sale,
liquidation or other disposition (a "Sale") of any portion of the Trust Estate
pursuant to Section 5.04 is expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05
and this Section 5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted
by any one or more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold,
but shall continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold
or all amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture and under the
Insurance Agreement shall have been paid. The Indenture Trustee may from time to
time postpone any public Sale by public announcement made at the time and place
of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly waives its right to any
amount fixed by law as compensation for any Sale.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall not in any private Sale sell the Trust
Estate, or any portion thereof, unless:

                  (1) the Holders of all Notes and the Credit Enhancer consent
to, or direct the Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale, or



                                       32

<PAGE>



                  (2) the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the
entire amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the Notes, the
Certificateholders under the Certificates and the Credit Enhancer in respect of
amounts drawn under the Credit Enhancement Instrument and any other amounts due
the Credit Enhancer under the Insurance Agreement, in full payment thereof in
accordance with Section 5.02, on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of
such Sale, or

                  (3) the Indenture Trustee determines, in its sole discretion,
that the conditions for retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05
cannot be satisfied (in making any such determination, the Indenture Trustee may
rely upon an opinion of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and
delivered as provided in Section 5.05), and the Credit Enhancer consents to such
Sale, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld and the Holders
representing at least 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes consent
to such Sale.

The purchase by the Indenture Trustee of all or any portion of the Trust Estate
at a private Sale shall not be deemed a Sale or other disposition thereof for
purposes of this Section 5.15(b).

         (c) Unless the Holders and the Credit Enhancer have otherwise consented
or directed the Indenture Trustee, at any public Sale of all or any portion of
the Trust Estate at which a minimum bid equal to or greater than the amount
described in paragraph (2) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.15 has not been
established by the Indenture Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or
greater than such amount, the Indenture Trustee shall bid an amount at least
$1.00 more than the highest other bid.

         (d) In connection with a Sale of all or any portion of the Trust
Estate:

                  (1) any Holder or Holders of Notes may bid for and with the
consent of the Credit Enhancer purchase the property offered for sale, and upon
compliance with the terms of sale may hold, retain and possess and dispose of
such property, without further accountability, and may, in paying the purchase
money therefor, deliver any Notes or claims for interest thereon in lieu of cash
up to the amount which shall, upon distribution of the net proceeds of such
sale, be payable thereon, and such Notes, in case the amounts so payable thereon
shall be less than the amount due thereon, shall be returned to the Holders
thereof after being appropriately stamped to show such partial payment;

                  (2) the Indenture Trustee may bid for and acquire the property
offered for Sale in connection with any Sale thereof, and, subject to any
requirements of, and to the extent permitted by, applicable law in connection
therewith, may purchase all or any portion of the Trust Estate in a private
sale, and, in lieu of paying cash therefor, may make settlement for the purchase
price by crediting the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the amount which
would be distributable to the Holders of the Notes and Holders of Certificates
and amounts owing to the Credit Enhancer as a result of such Sale in accordance
with Section 5.04(b) on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale
and (B) the expenses of the Sale and of any Proceedings in connection therewith
which are reimbursable to it, without being required to produce the Notes in
order to complete any such Sale or in order for the net Sale price to be
credited against such Notes, and any property so acquired by the Indenture
Trustee shall be held and dealt with by it in accordance with the provisions of
this Indenture;


                                       33

<PAGE>



                  (3) the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an
appropriate instrument of conveyance transferring its interest in any portion of
the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof;

                  (4) the Indenture Trustee is hereby irrevocably appointed the
agent and attorney-in- fact of the Issuer to transfer and convey its interest in
any portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof, and to take
all action necessary to effect such Sale; and

                  (5) no purchaser or transferee at such a Sale shall be bound
to ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of
any conditions precedent or see to the application of any monies.

         Section 5.16. ACTION ON NOTES. The Indenture Trustee's right to seek
and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be affected
by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or with
respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any rights or
remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall be impaired by the
recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the Issuer or by the
levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of the Trust Estate
or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property collected by the
Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section 5.04(b).

         Section 5.17. PERFORMANCE AND ENFORCEMENT OF CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS. (a)
Promptly following a written request from the Credit Enhancer or the Indenture
Trustee with the written consent of the Credit Enhancer to do so, the Issuer, in
its capacity as holder of the Home Loans, shall, with the written consent of the
Credit Enhancer, take all such lawful action as the Indenture Trustee may
request to cause the Issuer to compel or secure the performance and observance
by the Seller and the Master Servicer, as applicable, of each of their
obligations to the Issuer under or in connection with the Home Loan Purchase
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights,
remedies, powers and privileges lawfully available to the Issuer under or in
connection with the Home Loan Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement to
the extent and in the manner directed by the Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of
the Home Loans, including the transmission of notices of default on the part of
the Seller or the Master Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to compel or secure performance by the
Seller or the Master Servicer of each of their obligations under the Home Loan
Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

         (b) If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, as pledgee of the Home Loans, subject to the rights of the
Credit Enhancer under the Servicing Agreement may, and at the direction (which
direction shall be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly
thereafter)) of the Holders of 66-2/3% of the aggregate Note Balance of the
Notes shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and claims of the
Issuer against the Seller or the Master Servicer under or in connection with the
Home Loan Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, including the right or
power to take any action to compel or secure performance or observance by the
Seller or the Master Servicer, as the case may be, of each of their obligations
to the Issuer thereunder and to give any consent, request, notice, direction,
approval, extension or waiver under the Home Loan Purchase Agreement and the
Servicing Agreement, as the case may be, and any right of the Issuer to take
such action shall not be suspended. In connection


                                       34

<PAGE>



therewith, as determined by the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer shall take all
actions necessary to effect the transfer of the Home Loans to the Indenture
Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              The Indenture Trustee

         Section 6.01. DUTIES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. (a) If an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing, the Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights
and powers vested in it by this Indenture and use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

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

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

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

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

                        (i) this paragraph does not limit the effect of
         paragraph (b) of this Section 6.01;

                       (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 (A) pursuant to Section 5.11
         or (B) from the Credit Enhancer, which it is entitled to give under any
         of the Basic Documents.

         (d) 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.

         (e) Money held in trust by the Indenture Trustee need not be segregated
from other funds except to the extent required by law or the terms of this
Indenture or the Trust Agreement.

         (f) 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.


                                       36

<PAGE>



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

         Section 6.02. RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. (a) The Indenture Trustee
may 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 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, and the Indenture Trustee shall
not be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of, or for the
supervision of, any such agent, attorney, custodian or nominee appointed with
due care by it hereunder.

         (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 the Indenture Trustee's conduct 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 6.03. INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. The Indenture
Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Notes and may otherwise deal with the Issuer or its Affiliates with the same
rights it would have if it were not Indenture Trustee. Any Note Registrar,
co-registrar or co-paying agent may do the same with like rights. However, the
Indenture Trustee must comply with Sections 6.11 and 6.12.

         Section 6.04. INDENTURE TRUSTEE'S DISCLAIMER. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be (i) responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity
or adequacy of this Indenture or the Notes, (ii) accountable for the Issuer's
use of the proceeds from the Notes or (iii) responsible for any statement of the
Issuer in the Indenture or in any document issued in connection with the sale of
the Notes or in the Notes other than the Indenture Trustee's certificate of
authentication.

         Section 6.05. NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. If an Event of Default occurs
and is continuing and if it is known to a Responsible Officer of the Indenture
Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to the Credit Enhancer.
The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of the Event of
Default within 90 days after it occurs. Except in the case of an Event of
Default in payment of principal of or interest on any Note, the Indenture
Trustee may withhold the notice 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.


                                       37

<PAGE>



         Section 6.06. REPORTS BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS. The Indenture
Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be required to
enable such holder to prepare its federal and state income tax returns. In
addition, upon the Issuer's written request, the Indenture Trustee shall
promptly furnish information reasonably requested by the Issuer that is
reasonably available to the Indenture Trustee to enable the Issuer to perform
its federal and state income tax reporting obligations.

         Section 6.07. COMPENSATION AND INDEMNITY. The Issuer shall pay to the
Indenture Trustee on each Payment Date reasonable compensation for its services.
The Indenture Trustee shall be compensated and indemnified by the Master
Servicer in accordance with Section 6.06 of the Servicing Agreement, and all
amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee hereunder in excess of such amount shall
be paid solely as provided in Section 3.05 hereof (subject to the priorities set
forth therein). The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited by any
law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The Issuer shall reimburse
the Indenture Trustee for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred or made
by it, including costs of collection, in addition to the compensation for its
services. Such expenses shall include the reasonable compensation and expenses,
disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee's agents, counsel,
accountants and experts. The Issuer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee
against any and all loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees)
incurred by it in connection with the administration of this trust and the
performance of its duties hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the
Issuer promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the
Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its
obligations hereunder. The Issuer shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture
Trustee may have separate counsel and the Issuer shall pay the fees and expenses
of such counsel. The Issuer is not obligated to reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture
Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or
bad faith.

         The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. When the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified in clause (iv) or (v) of the definition thereof 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 6.08. 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 6.08. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Credit Enhancer. The
Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes or the Credit
Enhancer may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee
and the Credit Enhancer and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The
Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

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

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



                                       38

<PAGE>



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

                        (iv) 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 the Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in
such event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the
Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee with the consent of
the Credit Enhancer which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. In
addition, the Indenture Trustee will resign to avoid being directly or
indirectly controlled by the Issuer.

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

         If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within 60 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Holders of a majority of the aggregate Note
Balance 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 6.07 shall continue for the
benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

         Section 6.09. 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 Rating
Agencies written notice of any such transaction after the Closing Date.

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

force which it is anywhere in the Notes or in this Indenture provided that the
certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

         Section 6.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE INDENTURE
TRUSTEE. (a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any jurisdiction in
which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the power and may execute 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 Owner Trust, and to vest
in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the
Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, 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 and no notice to
Noteholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee shall be
required under Section 6.08 hereof.

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

                        (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred
         or imposed upon the Indenture Trustee shall be conferred or imposed
         upon and exercised or performed by the Indenture Trustee and such
         separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it being understood that such
         separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized to act separately
         without the Indenture Trustee joining in such act), except to the
         extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
         act or acts are to be performed the Indenture Trustee shall be
         incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event
         such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding of
         title to the Trust Estate or any portion thereof in any such
         jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed singly by such separate
         trustee or co-trustee, but solely at the direction of the Indenture
         Trustee;

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

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

         (c) Any notice, request or other writing given to the Indenture Trustee
shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and
co-trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument
appointing any separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and
the conditions of this Article VI. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon
its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or
property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the
Indenture Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, 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.



                                       40

         (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of
its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Indenture Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

         Section 6.11. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. The Indenture Trustee
shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA ss. 310(a). The Indenture
Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 as set
forth in its most recent published annual report of condition and it or its
parent shall have a long-term debt rating of A or better by Moody's. The
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA ss. 310(b), including the optional
provision permitted by the second sentence of TIA ss. 310(b)(9); provided,
however, that there shall be excluded from the operation of TIA ss. 310(b)(1)
any indenture or indentures under which other securities of the Issuer are
outstanding if the requirements for such exclusion set forth in TIA ss.
310(b)(1) are met.

         Section 6.12. PREFERENTIAL COLLECTION OF CLAIMS AGAINST ISSUER. The
Indenture Trustee shall comply with TIA ss. 311(a), excluding any creditor
relationship listed in TIA ss. 311(b). An Indenture Trustee who has resigned or
been removed shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent indicated.

         Section 6.13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Indenture Trustee
hereby represents that:

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

                    (ii) The Indenture Trustee has the power and authority to
         execute and deliver this Indenture and to carry out its terms; and the

         authorized by the Indenture Trustee by all necessary corporate action.

                   (iii) The consummation of the transactions contemplated by
         this Indenture and the fulfillment of the terms hereof do not conflict
         with, result in any breach of any of the terms and provisions of, or
         constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time) a default under,
         the articles of organization or bylaws of the Indenture Trustee or any
         agreement or other instrument to which the Indenture Trustee is a party
         or by which it is bound.

                    (iv) To the Indenture Trustee's best knowledge, there are no
         proceedings or investigations pending or threatened before any court,
         regulatory body, administrative agency or other governmental
         instrumentality having jurisdiction over the Indenture Trustee or its
         properties: (A) asserting the invalidity of this Indenture (B) seeking
         to prevent the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by
         this Indenture or (C) seeking any determination or ruling that might
         materially and adversely affect the performance by the Indenture
         Trustee of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of,
         this Indenture.

                     (v) The Indenture Trustee does not have notice of any
         adverse claim (as such terms are used in Delaware UCC Section 8-302)
         with respect to the Home Loans.

                        Section 6.14. DIRECTIONS TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE. The
         Indenture Trustee is hereby directed:

         (a) to accept the pledge of the Home Loans and hold the assets of the
Trust in trust for the Noteholders and the Credit Enhancer;

         (b) to authenticate and deliver the Notes substantially in the form
prescribed by Exhibit A in accordance with the terms of this Indenture; and

         (c) to take all other actions as shall be required to be taken by the
terms of this Indenture.

         Section 6.15. INDENTURE TRUSTEE MAY OWN SECURITIES. The Indenture
Trustee, in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee
of Securities with the same rights it would have if it were not Indenture
Trustee.

                      Accounts, Disbursements and Releases

         Section 8.01. COLLECTION OF MONEY. Except as otherwise expressly
provided herein, the Indenture Trustee may demand payment or delivery of, and
shall receive and collect, directly and without intervention or assistance of
any fiscal agent or other intermediary, all money and other property payable to
or receivable by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. The Indenture
Trustee shall apply all such money received by it as provided in this Indenture.
Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Indenture, if any default occurs
in the making of any payment or performance under any agreement or instrument
that is part of the Trust Estate, the Indenture Trustee may take such action as
may be appropriate to enforce such payment or performance, including the
institution and prosecution of appropriate Proceedings. Any such action shall be
without prejudice to any right to claim a Default or Event of Default under this
Indenture and any right to proceed thereafter as provided in Article V.

         Section 8.02. TRUST ACCOUNTS. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the
Issuer shall cause the Indenture Trustee to establish and maintain, in the name
of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Certificate

Payment Account as provided in Section 3.01 of this Indenture.

         (b) All monies deposited from time to time in the Payment Account

         On each Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall distribute all
amounts on deposit in the Payment Account to Noteholders in respect of the Notes
and in its capacity as Certificate Paying Agent to Certificateholders in the
order of priority set forth in Section 3.05 (except as otherwise provided in
Section 5.04(b).

precedent to the taking of such action have been complied with.

Indenture and the respective obligations and responsibilities of the Issuer and
the Indenture Trustee created hereby shall terminate upon the distribution to

the Certificateholders) and the Indenture Trustee of all amounts required to be
distributed pursuant to Article III; provided, however, that in no event shall
the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the

ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date
hereof.

         Section 8.05. Release of Trust Estate. (a) Subject to the payment of
its fees and expenses, the Indenture Trustee may, and when required by the
provisions of this Indenture shall, execute instruments to release property from
the lien of this Indenture, or convey the Indenture Trustee's interest in the
same, in a manner and under circumstances that are not inconsistent with the
provisions of this Indenture. No party relying upon an instrument executed by
the Indenture Trustee as provided in Article VIII hereunder shall be bound to
ascertain the Indenture Trustee's authority, inquire into the satisfaction of
any conditions precedent, or see to the application of any monies.

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall, at such time as (i) there are no Notes
Outstanding, (ii) all sums due the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture
have been paid, and (iii) all sums due the Credit Enhancer have been paid,
release any remaining portion of the Trust Estate that secured the Notes from
the lien of this Indenture.

the Issuer.

         (d) The Indenture Trustee shall, at the request of the Issuer or the
Depositor, surrender the Credit Enhancement Instrument to the Credit Enhancer
for cancellation, upon final payment on the Notes.

         Section 8.06. Surrender of Notes Upon Final Payment. By acceptance of

                             Supplemental Indentures

         Section 9.01. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF NOTEHOLDERS.
(a) Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with prior notice to the
Rating Agencies and the Credit Enhancer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
when authorized by an Issuer Request, at any time and from time to time, may
enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to
the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act as in force at the date of the
execution thereof), in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, for any of
the following purposes:

                        (i) to correct or amplify the description of any
         property at any time subject to the lien of this Indenture, or better
         to assure, convey and confirm unto the Indenture Trustee any property
         subject or required to be subjected to the lien of this Indenture, or
         to subject to the lien of this Indenture additional property;

                       (ii) to evidence the succession, in compliance with the
         applicable provisions hereof, of another person to the Issuer, and the
         assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer herein
         and in the Notes contained;

                      (iii) to add to the covenants of the Issuer, for the
         benefit of the Holders of the Notes or the Credit Enhancer, or to
         surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

                        (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any
         property to or with the Indenture Trustee;

                        (v) to cure any ambiguity, to correct any error, or to
         correct or supplement any provision herein or in any supplemental
         indenture that may be inconsistent with any other provision herein, in
         any supplemental indenture or in the Prospectus Supplement;

                       (vi) to make any other provisions with respect to matters
         or questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental
         indenture; provided, that such action shall not materially and
         adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the Notes or the
         Credit Enhancer;

                      (vii) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of the
         appointment hereunder by a successor trustee with respect to the Notes
         and to add to or change any of the provisions of this Indenture as
         shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts
         hereunder by more than one trustee, pursuant to the requirements of
         Article VI; or

                     (viii) to modify, eliminate or add to the provisions of
         this Indenture to such extent as shall be necessary to effect the
         qualification of this Indenture under the TIA or under any similar
         federal statute hereafter enacted and to add to this Indenture such
         other provisions as may be expressly required by the TIA;



                                       47

<PAGE>



provided, however, that no such indenture supplements shall be entered into
unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel that
entering into such indenture supplement will not have any material adverse tax
consequences to the Noteholders.

         The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to join in the execution of
any such supplemental indenture and to make any further appropriate agreements
and stipulations that may be therein contained.

         (b) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Request, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but
with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and the Credit Enhancer, enter into an
indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any
provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions
of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, (i) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Noteholder or the Credit Enhancer or (ii) cause the
Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax.

         (c) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall, as directed by the
Holders of Certificates which represent not less than 100% of the Certificate
Percentage Interests thereof, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental
hereto for the purpose of providing for the issuance of one or more additional
classes of Notes entitled to payments derived solely from all or a portion of
the payments to which the Certificates issued on the Closing Date pursuant to
the Trust Agreement are entitled; provided, however, that such action shall not,
as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, (i) adversely affect in any material
respect the interests of any Noteholder or the Credit Enhancer or (ii) cause the
Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax. Each such class of Notes shall be a
non-recourse obligation of the Issuer and shall be entitled to interest and
principal in such amounts, and to such security for the repayment thereof, as
shall be specified in such amendment or amendments. Promptly after the execution
by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any amendments pursuant to this
Section or the creation of a new indenture and the issuance of the related class
or classes of Notes, the Issuer shall require the Indenture Trustee to give
notice to the Holders of the Notes and the Rating Agencies setting forth in
general terms the substance of the provisions of such amendment. Any failure of
the Indenture Trustee to provide such notice as is required under this
paragraph, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way impair or
affect the validity of such amendment or any class of Notes issued pursuant
thereto. Unless the Credit Enhancer agrees in writing, (i) any classes of Notes
issued pursuant to a supplemental indenture shall not be entitled to the
insurance provided by the Credit Enhancement Instrument and (ii) the Holders of
any such classes of Notes shall be entitled only to such distributions or a
portion of such distributions as the Holders would have received as Holders of
Certificates.

         Section 9.02. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF NOTEHOLDERS. The
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer Request, also
may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes
affected thereby and the Credit Enhancer, by Act of such Holders delivered to
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures
supplemental hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of the Notes


                                       48

under this Indenture; provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture
shall, without the consent of the Holder of each Note affected thereby:

                        (i) change the date of payment of any installment of
         principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount
         thereof or the interest rate thereon, change the provisions of this
         Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the
         proceeds of the Sale of, the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or
         interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the
         coin or currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable,
         or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of the
         provisions of this Indenture requiring the application of funds
         available therefor, as provided in Article V, to the payment of any
         such amount due on the Notes on or after the respective due dates
         thereof;

                       (ii) reduce the percentage of the related Note Balance of
         any Class of Notes, the consent of the Holders of which is required for
         any such supplemental indenture, or the consent of the Holders of which
         is required for any waiver of compliance with certain provisions of
         this Indenture or certain defaults hereunder and their consequences
         provided for in this Indenture;

                      (iii) modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the
         definition of the term "Outstanding" or modify or alter the exception
         in the definition of the term "Holder";

                       (iv) reduce the percentage of the aggregate Note Balance
         of the Notes required to direct the Indenture Trustee to direct the
         Issuer to sell or liquidate the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04;

                        (v) modify any provision of this Section 9.02 except to
         increase any percentage specified herein or to provide that certain
         additional provisions of this Indenture or the Basic Documents cannot
         be modified or waived without the consent of the Holder of each Note
         affected thereby;

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

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

         The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not
any Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such
determination shall be conclusive upon the


                                       49

<PAGE>



Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any such
determination made in good faith.

         It shall not be necessary for any Act of Noteholders (as defined in
Section 10.03) under this Section 9.02 to approve the particular form of any
proposed supplemental indenture, but it shall be sufficient if such Act shall
approve the substance thereof.

         Promptly after the execution by the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of
any supplemental indenture pursuant to this Section 9.02, the Indenture Trustee
shall mail to the Holders of the Notes and the Custodian to which such amendment
or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth in general terms the
substance of such supplemental indenture. Any failure of the Indenture Trustee
to mail such notice, or any defect therein, shall not, however, in any way
impair or affect the validity of any such supplemental indenture.

         Section 9.03. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive, and
subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02, shall be fully protected in relying upon, an
Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is
authorized or permitted by this Indenture. 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 9.04. 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
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

         Section 9.05. CONFORMITY WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. Every amendment of
this Indenture and every supplemental indenture executed pursuant to this
Article IX shall conform to the requirements of the Trust Indenture Act as then
in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the Trust
Indenture Act.

         Section 9.06. REFERENCE IN NOTES TO SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

                                    ARTICLE X

                                  Miscellaneous

         Section 10.01. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. (a) 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 and to the Credit Enhancer (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:

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

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

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

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

                  (5) if the Signer of such Certificate or Opinion is required
         to be Independent, the Statement required by the definition of the term
         "Independent".

         (b) (i) Prior to the deposit of any Collateral or other property or
securities with the Indenture Trustee that is to be made the basis for the
release of any property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall, in addition to any obligation imposed in Section 10.01(a) or
elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's
Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of each person signing such
certificate as to the fair value (within 90 days of such deposit) to the Issuer
of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

                       (ii) Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i) above, the Issuer
shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the
same matters, if the fair value to the Issuer of the securities to be so
deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such withdrawal
or release since the commencement of the then-current fiscal year of the Issuer,
as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant to clause (i) above and this
clause (ii), is 10% or more of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes, but such


                                       51

<PAGE>



a certificate need not be furnished with respect to any securities so deposited,
if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set forth in the related Officer's
Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent of the aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes.

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

                       (iv)  Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the opinion of
any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (iii) above, the Issuer
shall also furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Independent Certificate as to the
same matters if the fair value of the property or securities and of all other
property, other than property as contemplated by clause (v) below or securities
released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement of the
then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by clause
(iii) above and this clause (iv), equals 10% or more of the aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes, but such certificate need not be furnished in the case of
any release of property or securities if the fair value thereof as set forth in
the related Officer's Certificate is less than $25,000 or less than one percent
of the then aggregate Note Balance of the Notes.

                        (v)  Notwithstanding any provision of this Indenture,
the Issuer may, without compliance with the requirements of the other provisions
of this Section 10.01, (A) collect, sell or otherwise dispose of the Home Loans
as and to the extent permitted or required by the Basic Documents or (B) make
cash payments out of the Payment Account as and to the extent permitted or
required by the Basic Documents, so long as the Issuer shall deliver to the
Indenture Trustee every six months, commencing July 31, 2001, an Officer's
Certificate of the Issuer stating that all the dispositions of Collateral
described in clauses (A) or (B) above that occurred during the preceding six
calendar months were in the ordinary course of the Issuer's business and that
the proceeds thereof were applied in accordance with the Basic Documents.

         Section 10.02. 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 his 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


                                       52

<PAGE>



officer or officers of the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information
with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of 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 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 10.03. 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
6.01) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in
the manner provided in this Section 10.03.

         (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 Registrar.

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

         Section 10.04. NOTICES, ETC., TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE, ISSUER, CREDIT
ENHANCER AND RATING AGENCIES. Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or Act of ---------


                                       53

<PAGE>



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:

                        (i) 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 the
         Corporate Trust Office. The Indenture Trustee shall promptly transmit
         any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer, or

                       (ii) 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: Home Loan Trust 2001-HI1, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, or
         at any other address previously furnished in writing to the Indenture
         Trustee by the Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice
         received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee, or

                      (iii) the Credit Enhancer by the Issuer, the Indenture
         Trustee or by any Noteholders shall be sufficient for every purpose
         hereunder to in writing and mailed, first- class postage pre-paid, or
         personally delivered or telecopied to: Ambac Assurance Corporation, One
         State Street Plaza, 19th Floor, New York, New York 10004, Attention:
         Consumer Asset-Backed Securities Group, telecopier number (212)
         363-1459. The Credit Enhancer shall promptly transmit any notice
         received by it from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or the
         Noteholders to the Issuer or Indenture Trustee, as the case may be.

         Notices required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner 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., ABS
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, A
Division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 55 Water Street - 41st Floor, New
York, New York 10041, 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.

         Section 10.05. 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 such Person's 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 regardless of
whether such notice is in fact actually received.

         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


                                       54

<PAGE>



Indenture Trustee but such filing shall not be a condition precedent to the
validity of any action taken in reliance upon such a waiver.

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

         Where this Indenture provides for notice to the Rating Agencies,
failure to give such notice shall not affect any other rights or obligations
created hereunder, and shall not under any circumstance constitute an Event of
Default.

         Section 10.06. ALTERNATE PAYMENT AND NOTICE PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding
any provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary, the Issuer
may enter into any agreement with any Holder of a Note providing for a method of
payment, or notice by the Indenture Trustee to such Holder, that is different
from the methods provided for in this Indenture for such payments or notices.
The Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such agreement
and the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be
given in accordance with such agreements.

         Section 10.07. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of the Trust
Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

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

         Section 10.08. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Article and Section headings
herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

         Section 10.09. 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 10.10. SEPARABILITY. In case any provision in this Indenture or
in the Notes shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality,
and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired thereby.

         Section 10.11. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. Nothing in this Indenture or in
the Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder, and the Noteholders, the Credit Enhancer,
and any other party secured hereunder, and any other Person with an ownership
interest in any part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.


                                       55

<PAGE>



         Section 10.12. Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any
payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any other
provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such date,
but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and
effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

         Section 10.13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

         Section 10.14. COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

         Section 10.15. RECORDING OF INDENTURE. If this Indenture is subject to
recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be
effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel
(which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any other counsel reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that such recording is
necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or any other Person
secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the
Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

         Section 10.16. ISSUER OBLIGATION. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or
the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any certificate or
other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith, against (i) the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any partner, owner,
beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee or
of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its
individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or
failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

         Section 10.17. NO PETITION. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Depositor or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor 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 10.18. INSPECTION. The Issuer agrees that, on reasonable prior
notice, it shall permit any representative of the Indenture Trustee, 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

hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature
guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of
the Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in
the Securities Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other
"signature guarantee program" as may be determined by the Note Registrar in
addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and thereupon one or more new Notes
in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount will be
issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge will be
charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Note, but the Note
Registrar shall require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or
governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of
transfer or exchange of this Note.

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

                  Each holder or Beneficial Owner of a Note, by acceptance of a
Note or, in the case of a Beneficial Owner of a Note, a beneficial interest in a
Note, covenants and agrees by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such
holder or Beneficial Owner of a Note will not at any time institute against the
Depositor, the Seller, the Master Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor, the Seller, the Master
Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group, Inc. or the Issuer of, any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings under any
United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any
obligations relating to the Notes, the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

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

                  Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of
this Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered (as
of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be specified in the
Indenture) as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note be
overdue,


                                        4

<PAGE>



and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any such agent shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

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

                  The term "Issuer" as used in this Note includes any successor
or the Issuer under the Indenture.

                  The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture, under certain
circumstances, to merge or consolidate, subject to the rights of the Indenture
Trustee and the holders of Notes under the Indenture.

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

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

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

                  Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, except as
expressly provided in the Basic Documents, none of Wilmington Trust Company in
its individual capacity, The Chase Manhattan Bank, in its individual capacity,
any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of their respective
partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees or successors or
assigns shall be personally liable for, nor shall recourse be had to any of them
for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Note or performance of, or
omission to perform, any of the covenants, obligations or indemnifications
contained in the Indenture. The holder of this Note by its acceptance


                                        5

<PAGE>



hereof agrees that, except as expressly provided in the Basic Documents, in the
case of an Event of Default under the Indenture, the holder shall have no claim
against any of the foregoing for any deficiency, loss or claim therefrom;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that nothing contained herein shall be taken to prevent
recourse to, and enforcement against, the assets of the Issuer for any and all
liabilities, obligations and undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this
Note.

that payment remained unpaid as of the close of business on August 31, the Home
Loan would then be considered 30-59 days delinquent. Delinquency information as
