         MBIA Insurance Corporation (the "Insurer") has issued and delivered a

         As an additional inducement to the Insurer to issue the Policy, and as
security for the performance by the Issuer of the Insurer Issuer Secured
Obligations and as security for the performance by the Issuer of the Indenture
Trustee Issuer Secured Obligations, the Issuer has agreed to grant and assign

                                 GRANTING CLAUSE

The Issuer hereby Grants to the Indenture Trustee at the Closing Date, for the
benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties all of the Issuer's right, title and
interest in and to: (i)(A) a pool ("Pool I") of certain adjustable rate home
equity revolving credit line loans ("HELOC Mortgage Loans") (including any

standards with respect to loan balances and other items as of the date of
origination as set forth by the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (the
"Initial Pool I Mortgage Loans"), (B) a pool ("Pool II") of certain HELOC
Mortgage Loans (including any Additional Balances related thereto) which conform
to certain loan origination standards with respect to loan balances and other
items as of the date of origination as set forth by the Federal National
Mortgage Association (the "Initial Pool II Mortgage Loans") and (C) a pool
("Pool III") of certain HELOC Mortgage Loans (including any Additional Balances
related thereto) which may or may not conform to certain loan origination
standards with respect to loan balances and other items as of the date of
origination as set forth by Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation or Federal
National Mortgage Association (the "Initial Pool III Mortgage Loans", and
together with the Initial Pool I Mortgage Loans and the Initial Pool II Mortgage
Loans, the "Initial Mortgage Loans"), in each case as set forth in Exhibit A to
the Sale and Servicing Agreement; (ii) the collections in respect of the
Mortgage Loans after the Cut-Off Date; (iii) property that secured a Mortgage
Loan that has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iv)
rights of the Sponsor under hazard insurance policies covering the Mortgaged
Properties; (v) amounts on deposit from time to time in the Collection Account;
(vi) any amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account; (vii) amounts on deposit
from time to time in the Reserve Fund; (viii) any and all HELOC Mortgage Loans
(including any Additional Balances related thereto) and second lien closed-end

(including any Additional Balances related thereto); (ix) all rights under the
Purchase Agreement assigned to the Issuer (including all representations and
warranties of the Seller contained therein) and all rights of the Issuer under
the Sale and Servicing Agreement; and (x) any and all proceeds of the foregoing
(the items set forth in (i) through (ix) above, the "Collateral").

         The foregoing Grant is made in trust to the Indenture Trustee, for the
benefit first, of the Holders of the Notes and the Class S Certificateholders,
and second, for the benefit of the Insurer. The Indenture Trustee hereby
acknowledges such Grant, accepts the trusts under this Indenture in accordance
with the provisions of this Indenture and agrees to perform its duties required
in this Indenture to the best of its ability to the end that the interests of
such parties, recognizing the priorities of their respective interests may be
adequately and effectively protected.

         The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that it will hold the Policy in
trust and that it will hold any proceeds of any claim made upon the Policy
solely for the use and the benefit of the Noteholders and the Class S
Certificateholders in accordance with the terms hereof and the terms of the
Policy.

         Neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Issuer assumes or shall assume
any obligation under any Credit Line Agreement that provides for the funding of
future Draws to the Mortgagor thereunder, and neither the Indenture Trustee nor
the Issuer shall be obligated or permitted to fund any such future Draws.

                   Definitions and Incorporation by Reference

         SECTION 1.1. Definitions. Except as otherwise specified herein, the
following terms have the respective meanings set forth in Annex A to this
Indenture.

         SECTION 1.2. Incorporation by Reference of the Trust Indenture Act.
Whenever this Indenture refers to a provision of the Trust Indenture Act

         "indenture security holder" means a Holder of a Note.

         "Indenture Trustee" or "institutional trustee" means the Indenture
Trustee.

         "obligor" on the indenture securities means the Issuer.

         All other TIA terms used in this Indenture that are defined by the TIA,
or defined by Commission rule have the meaning assigned to them by such
definitions.

         SECTION 1.3. Rules of Construction. Unless the context otherwise
requires:

                  (i) a term has the meaning assigned to it;

                  (ii) an accounting term not otherwise defined has the meaning
         assigned to it in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles as in effect from time to time;

                  (iii) "or" is not exclusive;

Class S Certificateholders or


                                       3
<PAGE>

Residual Certificateholders, such provision shall be deemed to refer to the
Noteholder, Class S Certificateholder or Residual Certificateholder, as the case
may be, of record as of the Record Date immediately preceding the date on which
such action is to be taken, or consent given, by Noteholders, Class S
Certificateholders or Residual Certificateholders. Solely for the purposes of
any action to be taken, or consented to, by Noteholders, Class S
Certificateholders or Residual Certificateholders, any Note, Class S Certificate
or Residual Certificate registered in the name of GreenPoint Mortgage Funding,
Inc. or any Affiliate thereof shall be deemed not to be outstanding; provided,
however, that, solely for the purpose of determining whether the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee is entitled to rely upon any such action or
consent, only Notes, Class S Certificates or Residual Certificates which the
Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, respectively, knows to be so owned shall
be so disregarded.

         SECTION 1.5. Conflict with TIA. If any provision hereof limits,
qualifies or conflicts with a provision of the TIA that is required under the
TIA to be part of and govern this Indenture, the latter provision shall control
and all provisions required by the TIA are hereby incorporated by reference. If
any provision of this Indenture modifies or excludes any provision of the TIA
that may be so modified or excluded, the latter provisions shall be deemed to
apply to this Indenture as so modified or to be excluded, as the case may be.

                                   ARTICLE II

Class A-3 Notes, in each case together with the Indenture Trustee's certificate
of authentication, shall be in substantially the form set forth in Exhibits A-1,
A-2 and A-3 hereto, with such appropriate insertions, omissions, substitutions
and other variations as are required or permitted by this Indenture and may have
such letters, numbers or other marks of identification and such legends or
endorsements placed thereon as may, consistently herewith, be determined by the
officers executing such Notes, as evidenced by their execution of the Notes. Any
portion of the text of any Notes may be set forth on the reverse thereof, with
an appropriate reference thereto on the face of the Note.

         Each Note shall be dated the date of its authentication. The terms of

notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such
offices prior to the authentication and delivery of such Notes or did not hold
such offices at the date of such Notes.

valid or obligatory for any purpose, unless there appears attached to such Note
a certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories, and such certificate attached to any Notes shall be
conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such Notes have been duly
authenticated and delivered hereunder. Subject to Section 2.11, the Notes shall
be Book Entry Notes.

         SECTION 2.3. Registration; Registration of Transfer and Exchange. The
Issuer shall cause to be kept a register (the "Note Register") in which, subject
to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Issuer shall provide for
the registration of Notes and the registration of transfers of Notes. The
Indenture Trustee shall be "Note Registrar" for the purpose of registering Notes
and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Note
Registrar, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to
make such an appointment, assume the duties of Note Registrar.

         If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by the Issuer
as Note Registrar, the Issuer will give the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer
prompt written notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the
location, and any change in the location, of the Note Register, and the
Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall have the right to inspect the Note
Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof. The Indenture
Trustee shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of
the Note Registrar by an Authorized Officer thereof as to the names and
addresses of the Holders of the Notes and the principal amounts and number of
such Notes.

         Upon surrender for registration or transfer of any Note at the office
or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as provided in Section 3.2, and if the
requirements of Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute or
cause the Indenture Trustee to authenticate one or more new Notes, in any
authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal
amount. A Noteholder may also obtain from the Indenture Trustee, in the name of
the designated transferee or transferees one or more new Notes, in any
authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal
amount. Such requirements shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture
Trustee to monitor the compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-401 of the UCC.


                                       5
<PAGE>

         At the option of the Holder, Notes may be exchanged for other Notes in
any authorized denominations, of the same class and a like aggregate principal
amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency.
Whenever any Notes are so surrendered for exchange, and if the requirements of
Section 8-401(1) of the UCC are met, the Issuer shall execute and upon its
request the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Notes which the Noteholder
making the exchange is entitled to receive. Such requirements shall not be
deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the compliance by
the Issuer with Section 8-401 of the UCC.

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

         Every Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange shall be (i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in the form attached to Exhibits A-1, A-2 and A-3, duly
executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing, with such signature guaranteed by an "eligible guarantor institution"
meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar all in accordance with the
Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other documents as the Note Registrar
may require.

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

         The Note Registrar shall not register the transfer of a Definitive Note
unless the Indenture Trustee has received a representation letter (in form and
substance satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee) from the prospective transferee
to the effect that either (a) such transferee is not an employee benefit plan
(as defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title
I of ERISA or a plan (as defined in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code) that is
subject to Section 4975 of the Code (each, a "Benefit Plan") and is not acting
on behalf of or investing the assets of a Benefit Plan or (b) the acquisition
and continued holding of such Note by the transferee will be covered by a U.S.
Department of Labor prohibited transaction class exemption. Each Note Owner, by
acceptance of a beneficial interest in a Book-Entry Note, will be deemed to make
one of the foregoing representations.

         SECTION 2.4. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Notes. If (i) any
mutilated Note is surrendered to the Note Registrar, or the Note Registrar
receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer such
security or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee and the Insurer 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 (such requirement
shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to monitor the
compliance by the Issuer with Section 8-405); provided, however, that if any
such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated Note, shall have become
or within seven days shall be due and payable, or shall have been called for
redemption, the Issuer may, instead of issuing a replacement Note, direct the
Indenture Trustee, in writing, to pay such destroyed, lost or stolen Note when
so due or payable or upon the Redemption Date without surrender thereof. If,
after the delivery of such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or
stolen Note pursuant to the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide
purchaser of the original Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued
presents for payment such original Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Insurer shall be entitled to recover such replacement Note (or such payment)
from the Person to whom it was delivered or any Person taking such replacement
Note from such Person to whom such replacement Note was delivered or any
assignee of such Person, except a bona fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to
recover upon the security or indemnity provided therefor to the extent of any
loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or
the Insurer in connection therewith.

                                       6
<PAGE>

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

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

         SECTION 2.5. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentment for
registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer and any agent of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer may
treat the Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the Record Date) 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 Insurer, the Indenture
Trustee nor any agent of the Issuer, the Insurer or the Indenture Trustee shall
be affected by notice to the contrary.

         SECTION 2.6. Payment of Principal and Interest; Defaulted Interest.

         (a) The Notes shall accrue interest as provided herein, and such amount
shall be payable on each Payment Date as specified herein. Any installment of
interest or principal, if any, payable on any Note which is punctually paid or
duly provided for by the Issuer on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to
the Person in whose name such Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) is
registered on the Record Date, by check mailed first-class, postage prepaid, to
such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register on such Record Date,
except that, unless Definitive Notes have been issued pursuant to Section 2.11,
with respect to Notes registered on the Record Date in the name of the nominee
of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee to be Cede & Co.), payment will
be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the account
designated by such nominee and except for the final installment of principal
payable with respect to such Note on a Payment Date or on the Final Scheduled
Payment Date (and except for the Redemption Price for any Note called for
redemption pursuant to Section 10.1) which shall be payable as provided below.
The funds represented by any such checks returned undelivered shall be held in
accordance with Section 3.3.

                                       7
<PAGE>

         (b) Upon written notice from the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee shall
notify the Person in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on
the Record Date preceding the Payment Date on which the Issuer expects that the
final installment of principal of and interest on such Note will be paid. Such
notice shall be mailed or transmitted by facsimile prior to such final Payment
Date and shall specify that such final installment will be payable only upon
presentation and surrender of such Note and shall specify the place where such
Note may be presented and surrendered for payment of such installment. Notices
in connection with redemptions of Notes shall be mailed to Noteholders as
provided in Section 10.2.

         (c) If the Issuer defaults in a payment of interest on the Notes, the
Issuer shall pay defaulted interest (plus interest on such defaulted interest to
the extent lawful) at the applicable Note Rate to the extent lawful. The Issuer
may pay such defaulted interest to the Persons who are Noteholders on a
subsequent special Record Date, which date shall be at least five Business Days
prior to the Payment Date. The Issuer shall fix or cause to be fixed any such
special Record Date and Payment Date, and, at least 15 days before any such
special Record Date, the Issuer shall mail to each Noteholder, the Insurer and
the Indenture Trustee a notice that states the special Record Date, the Payment
Date and the amount of defaulted interest to be paid.

         (d) Promptly following the date on which all principal of and interest
on the Notes has been paid in full and the Notes have been surrendered to the
Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon written notice from the
Servicer of the amounts, if any, that the Insurer has paid in respect of the
Notes under the Policy or otherwise which has not been reimbursed to the
Insurer, deliver such surrendered Notes to the Insurer to the extent not
previously canceled or destroyed.

         SECTION 2.7. Cancellation. Subject to Section 2.6(d), 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 canceled by the Indenture Trustee.
Subject to Section 2.6(d), 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 canceled by the Indenture Trustee. No Notes
shall be authenticated in lieu of or in exchange for any Notes canceled as
provided in this Section, except as expressly permitted by this Indenture.
Subject to Section 2.6(d), all canceled 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 Order that
they be returned to it; provided that such Issuer Order is timely and the Notes
have not been previously disposed of by the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 2.8. Release of Collateral. The Indenture Trustee shall, on or
after the Termination Date, release any remaining portion of the Trust Property
from the lien created by this Indenture and deposit in the Collection Account
any funds then on deposit in any other


                                       8
<PAGE>

Account. The Indenture Trustee shall release property from the lien created by
this Indenture pursuant to this Section 2.8 only upon receipt of an Issuer
Request by it accompanied by an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
(which shall also be addressed to the Insurer) and (if required by the TIA)
Independent Certificates in accordance with TIA ss.ss. 314(c) and 314(d)(1)
meeting the applicable requirements of Section 11.1.

         SECTION 2.9. Book-Entry Notes. The Notes, upon original issuance, will
be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes, to
be delivered to The Depository Trust Company or its custodian, the initial
Clearing Agency, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. Such Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
initial Clearing Agency, and no Note Owner will receive a Definitive Note
representing such Note Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided in
Section 2.11. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the
"Definitive Notes") have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section 2.11:

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

                  (ii) the Note Registrar and the Indenture Trustee shall be
         entitled to deal with the Clearing Agency 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 Note
         Owners;

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

                  (iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through
         the Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those established by law
         and agreements between such Note Owners and the Clearing Agency and/or
         the Clearing Agency Participants. Unless and until Definitive Notes are
         issued pursuant to Section 2.11, the initial Clearing Agency will make
         book-entry transfers among the Clearing Agency Participants and receive
         and transmit payments of principal of and interest on the Notes to such
         Clearing Agency Participants;

                                       9
<PAGE>

                  (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 Outstanding Amount of the
         Notes, the Clearing Agency shall be deemed to represent such percentage
         only to the extent that it has received instructions to such effect
         from Note Owners and/or Clearing Agency Participants owning or
         representing, respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial
         interest in the Notes and has delivered such instructions to the
         Indenture Trustee; and

                  (vi) Note Owners may receive copies of any reports sent to
         Noteholders pursuant to this Indenture, upon written request, together
         with a certification that they are Note Owners and payment of
         reproduction and postage expenses associated with the distribution of
         such reports, from the Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office.

         SECTION 2.10. Notices to Clearing Agency. Whenever a notice or other
communication to the Noteholders is required under this Indenture, unless and
until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Note Owners pursuant to Section
2.11, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and communications
specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the Clearing Agency, and
shall have no obligation to the Note Owners.

         SECTION 2.11. Definitive Notes. If (i) the Servicer advises the
Indenture Trustee in writing that the Clearing Agency is no longer willing or
able to properly discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes, and
the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (ii) the Servicer at its
option advises the Indenture Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the
book-entry system through the Clearing Agency or (iii) after the occurrence of a
Rapid Amortization Event, Note Owners representing beneficial interests
aggregating at least a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes advise
the Indenture Trustee through the Clearing Agency in writing that the
continuation of a book entry system through the Clearing Agency is no longer in
the best interests of the Note Owners, then the Clearing Agency shall notify all
Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any such event and of
the availability of Definitive Notes to Note Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten Note or Notes representing
the Book-Entry Notes by the Clearing Agency, accompanied by registration
instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall
authenticate the Definitive Notes in accordance with the instructions of the
Clearing Agency. 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.

                                  ARTICLE III

             Covenants; Representations and Warranties of the Issuer

         SECTION 3.1. Payment of Principal and Interest. The Issuer will duly
and punctually pay the principal of and interest on the Notes in accordance with
the terms of the Notes and this Indenture. The Notes shall be debt obligations
of the Trust and shall be limited in right of payment to amounts available from
the Trust as provided in this Indenture and the Trust shall not otherwise be
liable for payments on the Notes. No person shall be personally liable for any
amounts payable under the Notes. Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any
Person from a payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be
considered as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes
of this Indenture.

         SECTION 3.2. Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Issuer will maintain
in New York, New York, an office or agency where Notes may be surrendered for
registration, transfer or exchange of the Notes, 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. The Issuer will give prompt written notice to the
Indenture Trustee of the location, and of any change in the location, of any
such office or agency. If at any time the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such
office or agency or shall fail to furnish the Indenture Trustee with the address
thereof, such surrenders, notices and demands may be made or served at the
Corporate Trust Office, and the Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as
its agent to receive all such surrenders, notices and demands.

                                       10
<PAGE>

         SECTION 3.3. Money for Payments to be Held in Trust. The Issuer will
cause each Note Paying Agent other than the Indenture Trustee to execute and
deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer an instrument in which such
Note Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the Indenture
Trustee acts as Note Paying Agent, it hereby so agrees), subject to the
provisions of this Section, that such Note Paying Agent will:

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

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

                  (iii) at any time during the continuance of any such default,
         upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee with the consent of
         the Insurer, if the Insurer is the Controlling Party, forthwith pay to
         the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Note Paying
         Agent;

                  (iv) immediately resign as a Note 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 Note Paying Agent at the time of its
         appointment; and

                  (v) comply with all requirements of the Code with respect to
         the withholding from any payments made by it on any Notes of any
         applicable withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any
         applicable reporting requirements in connection therewith.

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

         Subject to applicable laws with respect to the escheat of funds, any
money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Note Paying Agent in trust for the
payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for
two years after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from
such trust and be paid to the Issuer, with the prior consent of the Insurer, on
Issuer Request, and shall be deposited by the Indenture Trustee in the
Collection Account; 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, the Insurer or such Note Paying Agent with respect to
such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that if such money or
any portion thereof had been previously deposited by the Insurer with the
Indenture Trustee for the payment of principal or interest on the Notes or
interest on the Class S Certificates, to the extent any amounts are owing to the
Insurer, such amounts shall be paid promptly to the Insurer upon receipt of a
written request by the Insurer to such effect.

                                       11

         SECTION 3.4. 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 Trust Property, the Notes, and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Property.

         SECTION 3.5. Protection of Trust Property. The Issuer intends the
security interest granted pursuant to this Indenture in favor of the Issuer
Secured Parties to be prior to all other liens in respect of the Trust Property
and the Issuer shall take all actions necessary to obtain and maintain, in favor
of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer Secured Parties, a first
lien on and a first priority, perfected security interest in the Trust Property.
The Issuer will from time to time prepare (or shall cause to be prepared),
execute and deliver all such supplements and amendments hereto and all such
financing statements, continuation statements, instruments of further assurance
and other instruments, and will take such other action necessary or advisable
to:

                  (i) Grant more effectively all or any portion of the Trust
         Property;

                  (ii) maintain or preserve the lien and security interest (and
         the priority thereof) in favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit
         of the Issuer Secured Parties created by this Indenture or carry out
         more effectively the purposes hereof;

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

                  (iv) enforce any of the Collateral;

                  (v) preserve and defend title to the Trust Property and the
         rights of the Indenture Trustee in such Trust Property against the
         claims of all persons and parties; and

                  (vi) pay all taxes or assessments levied or assessed upon the
         Trust Property when due.

The Issuer hereby designates the Indenture Trustee its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute any financing statement, continuation statement or
other instrument required pursuant to this Section; provided that, such
designation shall not be deemed to create a duty in the Indenture Trustee to
monitor the compliance of the Issuer with respect to its duties under this
Section 3.5 or the adequacy of any financing statement, continuation statement
or other instrument prepared by the Issuer.

                                       12

         (a) On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee and the Insurer an Opinion of Counsel in the form of Exhibit B hereto,
stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such actions have been taken with
respect to the recording and filing of this Indenture, any indentures
supplemental hereto, and any other requisite documents, and with respect to the

are necessary to perfect and make effective the first priority lien and security
interest in favor of the Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Issuer
Secured Parties, created by this Indenture, subject to the exceptions and
qualifications set forth in such Opinion of Counsel.

in 2003, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, an
Opinion of Counsel either stating that, in the opinion of such counsel, such
actions have been taken with respect to the recording, filing, re-recording and

requisite documents and with respect to the execution and filing of any
financing statements and continuation statements as are necessary to maintain
the lien and security interest created by this Indenture and reciting the
details of such action or stating that in the opinion of such counsel, no such
action is necessary to maintain such lien and security interest. Such Opinion of
Counsel shall also describe the recording, filing, re-recording and refiling of
this Indenture, any indentures supplemental hereto and any other requisite
documents and the execution and filing of any financing statements and
continuation statements that will, in the opinion of such counsel, be required
to maintain the lien and security interest of this Indenture.

         SECTION 3.7. Performance of Obligations; Servicing of Mortgage Loans.

         (a) The Issuer will not take any action and will use its best efforts
not to permit any action to be taken by others that would release any Person
from any of such Person's material covenants or obligations under any instrument
or agreement included in the Trust Property or that would result in the
amendment, hypothecation, subordination, termination or discharge of, or impair

the Insurer and the Rating Agencies thereof in accordance with Section 11.4, and
shall specify in such notice the action, if any, the Issuer is taking at the
direction of the Controlling Party in respect of such default. If an Event of
Servicing Termination shall arise from the failure of the Servicer to perform

         Pool pursuant to Section 2.07 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement),
         without the consent of the Insurer (which consent may not be
         unreasonably withheld) provided, that if an Insurer Default has
         occurred and is continuing the Noteholders representing 66-2/3% of the
         Outstanding Amount may direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or dispose
         of the Trust Property.

         any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the
         payment of the taxes levied or assessed upon any part of the Trust
         Property; or

                  (iii) (A) permit the validity or effectiveness of this
         Indenture to be impaired, or permit the lien in favor of the Indenture
         Trustee created by this Indenture to be amended, hypothecated,

         on or extend to or otherwise arise upon or burden the Trust Property or
         any part thereof or any interest therein or the proceeds thereof (other
         than tax liens, mechanics' liens and other liens that arise by
         operation of law, in each case on a Mortgaged Property and arising
         solely as a result of an action or omission of the related obligor),
         (C) permit the lien of this Indenture not to constitute a valid first
         priority (other than with respect to any such tax, mechanics' or other
         lien) security interest in the Trust Property or (D) amend, modify or
         fail to comply with the provisions of the Basic Documents without the

Mortgage Loans and the other assets specified in the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, to fund the Pre-Funding Account and the Reserve Fund and to pay 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

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 5.6. Delay or Omission Not a Waiver. No delay or omission of
the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer or any Holder of any Note to exercise any
right or remedy accruing upon any Rapid Amortization Event shall impair any such

related 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) the Indenture Trustee may take any other action deemed
         proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such
         direction;

take any action that it determines might involve it in liability or might
materially adversely affect the rights of any related Noteholders not consenting
to such action.

         SECTION 5.8. 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

undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
expenses, 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

Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by the Insurer, any Noteholder, or
group of Noteholders with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as

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

         SECTION 5.9. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws. The Issuer covenants (to
the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon,
or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the benefit or advantage of,
any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of this Indenture; and
the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives
all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder,
delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to the Indenture
Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though
no such law had been enacted.

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, the Insurer or the Noteholders shall be
impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer
against the Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any
portion of the Trust Property or upon any of the assets of the Issuer.

         SECTION 5.11. Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

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

         (b) If a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, may, and, at the written
direction of the Insurer (or, if an Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Holders of 66-2/3% of the Outstanding Amount of the related
Class of Notes) shall, exercise all rights, remedies, powers, privileges and
claims of the Issuer against the Sponsor or the Servicer under or in connection
with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, including the right or power to take any
action to compel or secure performance or observance by the Sponsor or the
Servicer of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any
consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension or waiver under the
Sale and Servicing Agreement, and any right of the Issuer to take such action
shall be suspended.

                                       22

         SECTION 5.12. Subrogation. The Indenture Trustee shall receive as
attorney-in-fact of each Noteholder any Insured Payment from the Insurer
pursuant to the Policy. Any and all Insured Payments disbursed by the Indenture
Trustee from claims made under the Policy shall not be considered payment by the
Issuer, and shall not discharge the obligations of the Issuer with respect
thereto. The Insurer shall, to the extent it makes any payment with respect to
any Class of Notes, become subrogated to the rights of the recipient of such
payments to the extent of such payments. Subject to and conditioned upon any
payment with respect to any Class of Notes by or on behalf of the Insurer, the
Indenture Trustee shall assign to the Insurer all rights to the payment of
interest or principal with respect to such Class of Notes which are then due for
payment to the extent of all payments made by the Insurer. The Insurer may
exercise any option, vote, right, power or the like with respect to such Class
of Notes to the extent that it has made payment pursuant to the Policy.

         SECTION 5.13. Preference Claims.

         (a) In the event that the Indenture Trustee has received a certified
copy of an order of the appropriate court that any Insured Payment on a Note or
a Class S Certificate has been avoided in whole or in part as a preference
payment under applicable bankruptcy law, the Indenture Trustee shall so notify
the Insurer, shall comply with the provisions of the Policy to obtain payment by
the Insurer of such avoided payment, and shall, at the time it provides notice
to the Insurer, notify Holders of the related Notes or Class S
Certificateholders of the related Class S Certificates, as appropriate, by mail
that, in the event that any Noteholder's payment or Class S Certificateholder's
payment is so recoverable, such Noteholder or Class S Certificateholder will be
entitled to payment pursuant to the terms of the Policy. The Indenture Trustee
shall furnish to the Insurer at its written request, the requested records it
holds in its possession evidencing the payments of principal of and interest on
Notes or interest on Class S Certificates, as appropriate, if any, which have
been made by the Indenture Trustee and subsequently recovered from Noteholders
or Class S Certificateholders, and the dates on which such payments were made.
Pursuant to the terms of the Policy, the Insurer will make such payment on
behalf of the related Noteholder or Class S Certificateholder to the receiver,
conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the final
order of the court exercising jurisdiction on behalf of the Noteholders or Class
S Certificateholders, as appropriate, and not to the Indenture Trustee, any
Noteholder or any Class S Certificateholder directly (unless such Noteholder or
Class S Certificateholder has returned principal or interest paid on the Notes
or Class S Certificates, as appropriate, to such receiver or trustee in
bankruptcy, in which case the Insurer shall make such payment to the Indenture
Trustee for payment to such Noteholder or Class S Certificateholder).

         (b) The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Insurer of any
proceeding or the institution of any action (of which the Indenture Trustee has
actual knowledge) seeking the avoidance as a preferential transfer under
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, rehabilitation or similar law
(a "Preference Claim") of any distribution made with respect to the Notes. Each
Holder, by its purchase of Notes, and the Indenture Trustee hereby agree that so
long as an Insurer Default shall not have occurred and be continuing, the
Insurer may at any time during the continuation of any proceeding relating to a
Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such Preference Claim,
including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal of any order
relating to any Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any surety, supersedes
or performance bond pending any such appeal at the expense of the Insurer, but
subject to reimbursement as provided in the Insurance Agreement. In addition,
and without limitation of the foregoing, as set forth in Section 5.12, the
Insurer shall be subrogated to, and each Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee
hereby delegate and assign, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the rights
of the Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder in the conduct of any proceeding
with respect to a Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of
any party to an adversary proceeding action with respect to any court order
issued in connection with any such Preference Claim. All actions taken under
this Section 5.13(b) by the Indenture Trustee shall be taken in accordance with
the terms of the Policy.

         SECTION 5.14. Noteholder Rights. Each Noteholder by the acceptance of
its Note agrees that, so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Insurer shall be treated by the Issuer, the Seller, the Sponsor,
the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee as if the Insurer were
the Holder of the related Class A Note for the purpose of the giving of any
consent, the making of any direction or the exercise of any voting or other
control rights otherwise given to the Noteholder hereunder without any further
consent of the Noteholder. So long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Noteholders may only exercise such rights with the consent of
the Insurer.

         SECTION 5.15. Insurer's Rights Regarding Actions, Proceedings or
Investigations. Until all Notes have been paid in full, all amounts owed to the
Insurer have been paid in full, the Insurance Agreement has terminated and the
Policy has been returned to the Insurer for cancellation, the following
provisions shall apply:

         (a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in the other Basic
Documents to the contrary, the Insurer shall have the right to participate in,
to direct the enforcement or defense of, and, at the Insurer's sole option, to
institute or assume the defense of, any action, proceeding or investigation that
could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the
rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic
Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceeding in respect of the Servicer, the Seller, the Sponsor, the Issuer or
any affiliate thereof. Following notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer
shall have exclusive right to determine, in its sole discretion, the actions
necessary to preserve and protect the Issuer, the Collateral, and the Trust
Property. All costs and expenses of the Insurer in connection with such action,
proceeding or investigation, including (without limitation) any judgment or
settlement entered into affecting the Insurer or the Insurer's interests, shall
be included in the Reimbursement Amount.

         (b) In connection with any action, proceeding or investigation that
could adversely affect the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the
rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic
Documents, including (without limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy
proceeding in respect of the Servicer, the Seller, the Sponsor, the Issuer or
any affiliate thereof, the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to cooperate with,
and to take such action as directed by, the Insurer, including (without
limitation) entering into such agreements and settlements as the Insurer shall
direct, in its sole discretion, without the consent of any Noteholder.

                                       24
<PAGE>

         (c) The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees to provide to the Insurer
prompt written notice of any action, proceeding or investigation that names the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee as a party or that could adversely affect the
Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the rights or obligations of the
Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic Documents, including (without
limitation) any insolvency or bankruptcy proceeding in respect of the Servicer,
the Seller, the Sponsor, the Trust or any affiliate thereof.

         (d) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any of the other
Basic Documents to the contrary, the Indenture Trustee shall not, without the
Insurer's prior written consent or unless directed by the Insurer, undertake or
join any litigation or agree to any settlement of any action, proceeding or
investigation affecting the Issuer, the Collateral, the Trust Property or the
rights or obligations of the Insurer hereunder or under the Policy or the Basic
Documents.

         (e) Each Noteholder, by acceptance of its Note, and the Indenture
Trustee agree that the Insurer shall have such rights as set forth in this
Section, which are in addition to any rights of the Insurer pursuant to the
other provisions of the Basic Documents, that the rights set forth in this
Section may be exercised by the Insurer, in its sole discretion, without the
need for the consent or approval of any Noteholder or the Indenture Trustee,
notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in any of the other
Basic Documents, and that nothing contained in this Section shall be deemed to
be an obligation of the Insurer to exercise any of the rights provided for
herein.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              The Indenture Trustee

         SECTION 6.1. Duties of Indenture Trustee.

         (a) If a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee shall exercise the rights and powers vested in it by this
Indenture and the Basic Documents and use the same degree of care and skill in
its exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of such person's own affairs; provided, however, that if the
Indenture Trustee is acting as Servicer, it shall use the same degree of care
and skill as is required of the Servicer under the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

         (b) Except during the continuance of a Rapid Amortization Event

                  (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 on their face to the requirements of this Indenture.

                                       25
<PAGE>

         (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;

                  (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;

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect
         to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance
         with a direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.12; and

                  (iv) the Indenture Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge
         of any failure by the Servicer to comply with the obligations of the
         Servicer referred to in clauses (i) and (ii) of Section 6.01 of the
         Sale and Servicing Agreement unless a Responsible Officer of the
         Indenture Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual
         knowledge of such failure or occurrence or the Indenture Trustee
         receives written notice of such failure or occurrence from the
         Servicer, the Insurer or the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50%
         of the Outstanding Amount.

         (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) 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 indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against such risk or
liability is not reasonably assured to it.

         (f) 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.

         (g) The Indenture Trustee shall, upon three Business Days' prior
written notice to the Indenture Trustee, permit any representative of the
Insurer, during the Indenture Trustee's normal business hours, to examine all
books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Indenture Trustee
relating to the Notes, to make copies and extracts (at the expense of the party
requesting such copies or extracts) therefrom and to discuss the Indenture
Trustee's affairs and actions, as such affairs and actions relate to the
Indenture Trustee's duties with respect to the Notes, with the Indenture
Trustee's officers and employees responsible for carrying out the Indenture
Trustee's duties with respect to the Notes.

                                       26
<PAGE>

         (h) The Indenture Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will,
perform all of the obligations and duties required of it under the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

         (i) The Indenture Trustee shall, and hereby agrees that it will, hold
the Policy in trust, and will hold any proceeds of any claim on the Policy in
trust solely for the use and benefit of the Noteholders or the Class S
Certificateholders, as applicable.

         (j) In no event shall The Bank of New York, in any of its capacities
hereunder, be deemed to have assumed any duties of the Owner Trustee under the
Delaware Business Trust Statute, common law, or the Trust Agreement.

         SECTION 6.2. Rights of Indenture Trustee.

         (a) The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on any document
reasonably 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 the 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 liable for the negligence of such agents, attorneys, custodians or
nominees appointed (i) with due care and (ii) with the consent of the Insurer.

         (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 of its selection,
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.

         (f) The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to institute,
conduct or defend any litigation under this Indenture or in relation to this
Indenture, at the request, order or direction of any of the Holders of Notes or
the Controlling Party, pursuant to the provisions of this Indenture, unless such
Holders of Notes or the Controlling Party shall have offered to the Indenture
Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs,
expenses and liabilities that may be incurred therein or thereby; provided,
however, that the Indenture Trustee shall, upon the occurrence of a Rapid
Amortization Event or Event of Servicing Termination as defined in the Sale and
Servicing Agreement (that has not been cured or waived), exercise the rights and
powers vested in it by this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement with
reasonable care and skill.

                                       27
<PAGE>

         (g) The Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation
into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing to do so by the Insurer or
by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Outstanding Amount
thereof; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
Indenture Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by
it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture
Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Indenture Trustee by the security
afforded to it by the terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing
Agreement, the Indenture Trustee may require indemnity reasonably satisfactory
to it against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding;
the reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Person
making such request, or, if paid by the Indenture Trustee shall be reimbursed by
the Person making such request upon demand.

         (h) The Indenture Trustee shall not be accountable, shall have no
liability and makes no representation as to any acts or omissions hereunder of
the Servicer until such time as the Indenture Trustee may be required to act as
Servicer.

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

         SECTION 6.4. Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer. The Indenture Trustee
shall not be responsible for and makes no representation as to the validity or
adequacy of this Indenture, the Trust Property or the Notes, it shall not be
accountable for the Issuer's use of the proceeds from the Notes, and it shall
not be responsible for any statement of the Issuer in the Indenture or in any
document issued in connection with the sale of the Notes or in the Notes other
than the Indenture Trustee's certificate of authentication.

         SECTION 6.5. Notice of Rapid Amortization Events and Events of
Servicing Termination. If a Rapid Amortization Period or an Event of Servicing
Termination occurs and is continuing and if it is either known by, or written
notice of the existence thereof has been delivered to, a Responsible Officer of
the Indenture Trustee, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Insurer and each
Noteholder notice of such event within 90 days after such knowledge or notice
occurs. Except in the case of a default in payment of principal of or interest
on any Note, the Indenture Trustee may withhold the notice to the Noteholders if
and so long as one of its Responsible Officers in good faith determines that
withholding the notice is in the interests of Noteholders; provided that the
Indenture Trustee shall not withhold any such notice to the Insurer.

         SECTION 6.6. Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders. Upon written
request, the Note Paying Agent or the Servicer shall on behalf of the Issuer
deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be reasonably required to
enable such Holder to prepare its Federal and state income tax returns required
by law.

                                       28
<PAGE>

         SECTION 6.7. Compensation and Indemnity.

         (a) Pursuant to Section 8.7 and subject to Section 6.10 herein, the
Issuer shall, or shall cause the Servicer to, pay to the Indenture Trustee from
time to time compensation as agreed to in writing between the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee for its services. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall
not be limited by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust. The
Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to 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 or shall cause the Servicer to indemnify the Indenture Trustee
and its respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all
loss, liability or expense (including attorneys' fees and expenses) incurred by
each of them in connection with the acceptance or the administration of this
trust and the performance of its duties hereunder or under any other Basic
Document. The Indenture Trustee shall notify the Issuer and the Servicer
promptly of any claim for which it may seek indemnity. Failure by the Indenture
Trustee to so notify the Issuer and the Servicer shall not relieve the Issuer of
its obligations hereunder or the Servicer of its obligations under Article VIII
of the Sale and Servicing Agreement. The Issuer shall or shall cause the
Servicer to defend the claim, the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Issuer shall or shall cause the Servicer to pay the fees and expenses of
such counsel. Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need reimburse any expense or
indemnify against any loss, liability or expense incurred by the Indenture
Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or
bad faith.

         (b) The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee pursuant
to this Section shall survive the discharge of this Indenture. Notwithstanding
anything else set forth in this Indenture or the Basic Documents, the Indenture
Trustee agrees that the obligations of the Issuer (but not the Servicer) to the
Indenture Trustee hereunder and under the Basic Documents shall be recourse to
the Trust Property only and specifically shall not be recourse to the assets of
the Issuer or any Noteholder. In addition, the Indenture Trustee agrees that its
recourse to the Issuer, the Trust Property, the Sponsor and amounts held in the
Reserve Fund shall be limited to the right to receive the distributions referred
to in Section 8.7 herein.

         SECTION 6.8. Replacement of Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Insurer by written
notice. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly
appoint a successor Indenture Trustee (approved in writing by the Insurer, so
long as such approval is not unreasonably withheld) by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of such instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Indenture Trustee (who shall deliver a copy to the Servicer and the Insurer) and
one copy to the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that any such
successor Indenture Trustee shall be subject to the prior written approval of
the Servicer. The Issuer may, and at the request of the Insurer shall, remove
the Indenture Trustee, if:

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

                                       29
<PAGE>

                  (ii) a court having jurisdiction in the premises in respect of
         the Indenture Trustee in an involuntary case or proceeding under
         federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
         constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
         insolvency or other similar law, shall have entered a decree or order
         granting relief or appointing a receiver, liquidator, assignee,
         custodian, trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or similar official) for
         the Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture
         Trustee's property, or ordering the winding-up or liquidation of the
         Indenture Trustee's affairs;

                  (iii) an involuntary case under the federal bankruptcy laws,
         as now or hereafter in effect, or another present or future federal or
         state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law is commenced with respect
         to the Indenture Trustee and such case is not dismissed within 60 days;

                  (iv) the Indenture Trustee commences a voluntary case under
         any federal or state banking or bankruptcy laws, as now or hereafter
         constituted, or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy,
         insolvency or other similar law, or consents to the appointment of or
         taking possession by a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian,
         trustee, conservator, sequestrator (or other similar official) for the
         Indenture Trustee or for any substantial part of the Indenture
         Trustee's property, or makes any assignment for the benefit of
         creditors or fails generally to pay its debts as such debts become due
         or takes any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

                  (v) the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
         acting; or

                  (vi) the Indenture Trustee materially breaches any covenant or
         obligation under the Basic Documents.

         Additionally, the Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee at the
request of the Insurer.

         If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists
in the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event being referred to herein as the retiring Indenture Trustee), the Issuer
shall promptly appoint a successor Indenture Trustee acceptable to the Insurer.
If the Issuer fails to appoint such a successor Indenture Trustee, the Insurer
may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee.

         A successor Indenture Trustee shall deliver a written acceptance of its
appointment to the retiring Indenture Trustee, to the Insurer and to the Issuer.
Thereupon the resignation or removal of the retiring Indenture Trustee shall
become effective, and the successor Indenture Trustee shall have all the rights,
powers and duties of the retiring 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 30 days
after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Insurer, or the Holders of a majority in
Outstanding Amount of the Notes may, at the expense of the Servicer, petition
any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee acceptable to the Insurer.

         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
acceptable to the Insurer.

         Any resignation or removal of the Indenture Trustee and appointment of
a successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor
Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 6.8 and payment of all fees and expenses
owed to the outgoing Indenture Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee pursuant to
this Section, the Issuer's and the Servicer's indemnity obligations under
Section 6.7 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee and
the Servicer shall pay any amounts owing to the Indenture Trustee.

         SECTION 6.9. Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger. If the Indenture
Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all or
substantially all of 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 entity meets the requirements of Section 6.11 hereunder and
is otherwise acceptable to the Insurer (unless an Insurer Default has occurred
and is continuing). The Indenture Trustee shall provide Insurer and the Servicer
with at least 30 days notice of any such transaction.

         In case at the time such successor or successors by merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created by
this Indenture 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.

         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 may at the time be located, the Indenture Trustee,
with the consent of the Insurer, shall have the power and may execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for the
benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust, or any part hereof, 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.

                                       31
<PAGE>

         (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 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, including acts
         or omissions of predecessor or successor trustees; and

                  (iii) the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer acting jointly
         may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any separate
         trustee or co-trustee except that following the occurrence of an Event
         of Servicing Termination, the Indenture Trustee acting alone may accept
         the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

         (d) Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time constitute the
Indenture Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority,
to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Indenture on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or
co-trustee shall die, dissolve, become insolvent, 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.

privileges hereunder, as the Controlling Party may direct and as are
specifically authorized to be exercised by the Indenture Trustee by the terms
hereof, together with such actions, rights, remedies, powers and privileges as
are reasonably incidental thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall act upon and in
compliance with the written instructions delivered to it pursuant to this
Indenture promptly following receipt of such written instructions; provided that
the Indenture Trustee shall not act in accordance with any instructions (i)
which are not authorized by, or in violation of the provisions of, this
Indenture or (ii) for which the Indenture Trustee has not received reasonable
indemnity. Receipt of such instructions shall not be a condition to the exercise
by the Indenture Trustee of its express duties hereunder, except where this
Indenture provides that the Indenture Trustee is permitted to act only following
and in accordance with such instructions.

         SECTION 6.14. Performance of Duties. The Indenture Trustee shall have

bad faith or willful misconduct on its part, the Indenture Trustee shall be
entitled to conclusively rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other
document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper Person or Persons and shall have no liability in
acting, or omitting to act, where such action or omission to act is in
reasonable reliance upon any statement or opinion contained in any such document
or instrument.

as (i) such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization and similar laws relating to or affecting the enforcement of
creditors' rights generally and (ii) the availability of equitable remedies may
be limited by equitable principles of general applicability.

         SECTION 6.18. Waiver of Setoffs. The Indenture Trustee hereby expressly

enforce any of the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders.

         (e) The Indenture Trustee will cooperate with and assist the Servicer,
the Insurer, the Issuer, the Sponsor, or holders of the Notes in their defense
of legal actions by Mortgagors to recover affirmative claims if such cooperation

party to such legal actions and if the Indenture Trustee is satisfactorily
indemnified for all liability, costs and expenses (including attorneys' fees and
expenses) arising therefrom.

         (f) The Issuer and Servicer hereby agree to indemnify, hold harmless
and defend the Indenture Trustee from and against any and all liability, loss,

Account to invest any funds in the Pre-Funding Account in Eligible Investments
which shall mature or otherwise be available not later than the Business Day
next preceding the Payment Date or, with the approval of the Insurer and the
Rating Agencies, on the Payment Date next following the date of such investment
(except that any investment in an obligation of the institution with which the
Pre-Funding Account is maintained may mature on or before 12:00 noon, New York
time, on such Payment Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its
maturity. At any time when the Indenture Trustee is maintaining the Pre-Funding
Account, any request by the Servicer to invest funds on deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account shall be in writing, shall be delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at or before 10:30 a.m., New York time, if such investment is to be made
on such day, and shall certify that the requested investment is an Eligible
Investment which matures at or prior to the time required hereby. Any such
investment shall be registered in the name of the Indenture Trustee as trustee
hereunder or in the name of its nominee, and to the extent such investments are
certificated they shall be maintained in the possession of the Indenture Trustee
in the state of its Corporate Trust Office. All income and gain realized from
any such investment shall be included as Interest Collections. The amount of any
losses incurred in respect of the principal amount of any such investment shall
be deposited in the Pre-Funding Account by the Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized. Any investment earnings on the Pre-Funding Account
shall be treated as owned by the Sponsor for federal and state income tax
purposes.

         (c) On the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee will deposit into the
Pre-Funding Account from the proceeds of the sale of the Notes, on behalf of the
Noteholders and the Insurer, the Original Pre-Funded Amount.

         (d) On each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to either Pool, the
Sponsor shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding
Account an amount equal to 100% of the aggregate Principal Balances of the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trust for assignment to either Pool
I, Pool II or Pool III (as indicated by the Sponsor) on such Subsequent Transfer
Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the Sponsor upon satisfaction
of the conditions set forth in Section 2.10 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement
with respect to such transfer; provided, however, that with respect to Pool I
neither (x) the aggregate amount withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Account to
purchase Subsequent Mortgage Loans for addition to Pool I nor (y) the aggregate
Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trust for
assignment to Pool I may exceed the Original Class A-1 Pre-Funded Amount;
provided further, however, that with respect to Pool II neither (x) the
aggregate amount withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Account to purchase Subsequent
Mortgage Loans for addition to Pool II nor (y) the aggregate Principal Balances
of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trust for assignment to Pool
II may exceed the Original Class A-2 Pre-Funded Amount; provided further,
however, that with respect to Pool III neither (x) the aggregate amount
withdrawn from the Pre-Funding Account to purchase Subsequent Mortgage Loans for
addition to Pool III nor (y) the aggregate Principal Balances of the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans transferred to the Trust for assignment to Pool III may exceed
the Original Class A-3 Pre-Funded Amount.

         (e) (i) On December 14, 2001, the Servicer shall remit to the
Collection Account the Capitalized Interest Requirement, to be used for the
Payment Date in December 2001, (ii) on January 11, 2002, the Servicer shall
remit to the Collection Account the Capitalized Interest Requirement, to be used
for the Payment Date in January 2002 and (iii) on February 14, 2002, the
Servicer shall remit to the Collection Account the Capitalized Interest
Requirement, to be used for the Payment Date in February 2002, each as set forth
in the Side Letter Agreement.

         (f) If (x) the Pre-Funded Amount has not been reduced to zero by the
Payment Date occurring in February 2002 or (y) the Pre-Funded Amount has been
reduced to $100,000 or less on any Payment Date occurring during the Pre-Funding
Period, in either case after giving effect to any reductions in the Pre-Funded
Amount on or before the related such Payment Date, the Sponsor shall instruct
the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account and deposit to
the Collection Account the difference, if any, between (A) the Original
Pre-Funded Amount and (B) all amounts theretofore withdrawn from the Pre-Funding
Account with respect to Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

         SECTION 8.10. Rights of Noteholders and Residual Certificateholders.
The Notes shall represent obligations of the Trust, each representing interests
in or secured by the Trust Property, including the Collection Account and the
right to receive Interest Collections, Principal Collections, if any, and other
amounts at the times and in the amounts specified in this Indenture; the
Residual Certificates shall represent a beneficial interest in the Trust (other
than the Reserve Fund, the Policy, and the Pre-Funding Account); the Class S
Certificates shall represent a right to receive interest only payments as
specified in this Indenture.

         SECTION 8.11. Opinion of Counsel. The Indenture Trustee and the Insurer
shall receive at least seven days' notice when requested by the Issuer to take
any action pursuant to Section 8.2(a), accompanied by copies of any instruments
involved, and the Indenture Trustee shall also require as a condition to such
action, an Opinion of Counsel (addressed to the Indenture Trustee and to the
Insurer), stating the legal effect of any such action, outlining the steps
required to complete the same, and concluding that all conditions precedent to
the taking of such action have been complied with and such action will not
materially and adversely impair the security for the Notes or the rights of the
Noteholders or the Insurer in contravention of the provisions of this Indenture;
provided, however, that such Opinion of Counsel shall not be required to express
an opinion as to the fair value of the Trust Property. Counsel rendering any
such opinion may rely, without independent investigation, on the accuracy and
validity of any certificate or other instrument delivered to the Indenture
Trustee in connection with any such action.

         (a) Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but with the
consent of the Insurer, as evidenced to the Indenture Trustee, the parties
hereto, when authorized by an Issuer Order, at any time and from time to time,
may enter into one or more indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform

in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer, 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 to surrender any right or power herein
         conferred upon the Issuer;

                  (iv) to convey, transfer, assign, mortgage or pledge any

                  (v) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any

         indenture or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or
         questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental

         interests of the Holders of the Notes; or

                  (vi) 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.

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

         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 parties hereto, when authorized by an Issuer Order, may, also
without the consent of any of the Holders of the Notes but with the prior
written consent of the Insurer and with prior notice to the Rating Agencies by
the Issuer, as evidenced to 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 under this
Indenture; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Noteholder.

         SECTION 9.2. Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders. The
parties hereto, when authorized by an Issuer Order, also may, with prior notice
to the Rating Agencies, with the consent of the Insurer and with the consent of
the Holders of not less than a majority of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes,
by Act of such Holders delivered to the parties hereto, 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, subject to the express rights of
the Insurer under the Basic Documents, no such supplemental indenture shall,
without the consent of the Holder of each Outstanding Notes 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, the
         interest rate thereon or the Redemption Price with respect thereto,
         change the provision of this Indenture relating to the application of
         collections on, or the proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Property 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;

                  (ii) 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 (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Redemption
         Date);

                  (iii) reduce the percentage of the Outstanding Amount of the
         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;

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

                                       50
<PAGE>

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

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

                  (vii) 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

                  (viii) 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 Property or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated
         herein or in any of the Basic Documents, 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.

         The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely as to whether or not any
Notes would be adversely affected by any supplemental indenture upon receipt of
an Opinion of Counsel addressed and delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the
Insurer to that effect and any such determination shall be conclusive upon the
Holders of all Notes, whether theretofore or thereafter authenticated and
delivered hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for relying on
such Opinion of Counsel in good faith.

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

         Promptly after the execution by the parties hereto of any supplemental
indenture pursuant to this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the
Holders of the Notes to which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a
notice setting forth in general terms the substance of such supplemental
indenture. 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 9.3. Execution of Supplemental Indentures. In executing, or
permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental indenture
permitted by this Article IX or the modifications thereby of the trusts created
by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer shall be entitled to
receive, and subject to Sections 6.1 and 6.2, shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel (and, if requested, an Officer's Note)
stating that the execution of such supplemental indenture is authorized or
permitted by this Indenture. The Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such supplemental indenture that affects the
Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties, liabilities or immunities under this
Indenture or otherwise.

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

         SECTION 9.5. Reference in Notes to 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 TIA as then
in effect so long as this Indenture shall then be qualified under the TIA.

         SECTION 9.6. Reference in Notes to Supplemental Indentures. Notes
authenticated and delivered after the execution of any supplemental indenture
pursuant to this Article IX may, and if required by the Indenture Trustee shall,
bear a notation in form approved by the Indenture Trustee as to any matter
provided for in such supplemental indenture. If the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee shall so determine, new Notes so modified as to conform, in the opinion
of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, to any such supplemental indenture may
be prepared and executed by the Issuer and authenticated and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee in exchange for Outstanding Notes.

                                   ARTICLE X

                               Redemption of Notes

         SECTION 10.1. Redemption. Each Class of Notes is subject to redemption
in whole, but not in part, at the direction of the Sponsor pursuant to Section
7.01(b) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, on any Payment Date on which the
Sponsor exercises its option to transfer the Trust Property pursuant to said
Section 7.01(b), for a purchase price equal to the Redemption Price. The
Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish the Insurer notice of such redemption not
later than 35 days prior to the Redemption Date. If the Notes are to be redeemed
pursuant to this Section 10.1, the Servicer or the Issuer shall furnish notice
of such election to the Indenture Trustee not later than 35 days prior to the
Redemption Date and the Issuer shall deposit or undertake to deposit on or prior
to the Redemption Date with the Indenture Trustee in the Collection Account the
Redemption Price of such Notes whereupon all such Notes shall be due and payable
on the Redemption Date upon the furnishing of a notice complying with Section
10.2 (unless the Issuer shall default in the deposit of the Redemption Price).

         SECTION 10.2. Surrender of Notes.

         (a) Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date (which shall
be a date that would otherwise be a Payment Date) upon which the Noteholders may
surrender their Notes to the Indenture Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Indenture Trustee
(upon receipt of written directions from the Sponsor, if the Sponsor is
exercising its right to transfer of the Mortgage Loans, given not later than the
first day of the month preceding the month of such final distribution) to the
Insurer and to the Servicer and by letter to Noteholders mailed not earlier than
the 15th day and not later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the
month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Payment Date upon which
final distribution of the Notes will be made upon presentation and surrender of
Notes at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein designated, (ii)
the amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date
otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, distributions being
made only upon presentation and surrender of the Notes at the office or agency
of the Indenture Trustee therein specified. In the event written directions are
delivered by the Sponsor to the Indenture Trustee as described in the preceding
sentence, the Sponsor shall deposit in the Collection Account on or before the
Payment Date for such final distribution in immediately available funds an
amount which, when added to the funds on deposit in the Collection Account that
are payable to the Noteholders, will be equal to the retransfer amount for the
Mortgage Loans computed as above provided, together with all amounts due and
owing to the Insurer for unpaid premiums and unreimbursed draws on the Policy
and all other amounts due and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance
Agreement, together with interest thereon as provided under the Insurance
Agreement.

                                       52
<PAGE>

         (b) Upon presentation and surrender of the Notes, the Indenture Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of Notes on the Payment Date for
such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage Interests of their
respective Notes and to the extent that funds are available for such purpose, an
amount equal to (i) if such final distribution is not being made pursuant to the
transfer to the Sponsor pursuant to Section 7.01(a)(B)(i) of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement, the amount required to be distributed to Noteholders
pursuant to Section 10.1 of this Indenture for such Payment Date and (ii) if
such final distribution is being made pursuant to such retransfer, the amount
specified in Section 7.01(b) of the Sale Servicing Agreement. The distribution
on such final Payment Date pursuant to a retransfer pursuant to Section
7.01(a)(B)(i) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement shall be in lieu of the
distribution otherwise required to be made on such Payment Date in respect of
the Notes. On the final Payment Date prior to having made the distributions
called for above, the Indenture Trustee shall, based upon the information set
forth in the Servicing Certificate for such Payment Date, withdraw from the
Collection Account and remit to the Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount
available for distribution on such final Payment Date, net of any portion
thereof necessary to pay the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above and
(y) the unpaid amounts due and owing to the Insurer for unpaid premiums and
unreimbursed draws on the Policy and all other amounts due and owing to the
Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, together with interest thereon as
provided under the Insurance Agreement.

         (c) In the event that all of the Noteholders shall not surrender their
Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final Payment Date,
the Indenture Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the Collection
Account not distributed in final distribution to Noteholders to be withdrawn
therefrom and credited to the remaining Noteholders by depositing such funds in
a separate escrow account for the benefit of such Noteholders and the Sponsor
(if the Sponsor has exercised its right to transfer the Mortgage Loans) or the
Indenture Trustee (in any other case) and shall give a second written notice to
the remaining Noteholders to surrender their Notes for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice all the Notes shall not have been surrendered for cancellation, the
Indenture Trustee may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take
appropriate steps, to contact the remaining Noteholders concerning surrender of
their Notes, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds on deposit in
such escrow account.

         SECTION 10.3. Form of Redemption Notice. Notice of redemption supplied
to the Indenture Trustee by the Sponsor under Section 10.1 shall be given by the
Indenture Trustee by facsimile or by first-class mail, postage prepaid,
transmitted or mailed prior to the applicable Redemption Date to each Holder of
Notes of record, as of the close of business on the date which is not less than
5 days prior to the applicable Redemption Date, at such Holder's address
appearing in the Note Register.

         All notices of redemption shall state:

                  (i) the Redemption Date;

                  (ii) the Redemption Price;

                  (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such
         Redemption Date is not applicable and that payments shall be made only
         upon presentation and surrender of such Notes at the place where such
         Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the Redemption Price (which
         shall be the office or agency of the Issuer to be maintained as
         provided in Section 3.2); and

                  (iv) that interest on the Notes shall cease to accrue on the
         Redemption Date.

         Notice of redemption of the Notes shall be given by the Indenture
Trustee in the name and at the expense of the Issuer. Failure to give notice of
redemption, or any defect therein, to any Holder of any Note shall not impair or
affect the validity of the redemption of any other Note.

         SECTION 10.4. Notes Payable on Redemption Date. The Notes to be
redeemed shall, following notice of redemption as required by Section 10.2, on
the Redemption Date become due and payable at the Redemption Price and (unless
the Issuer shall default in the payment of the Redemption Price) no interest
shall accrue on the Redemption Price for any period after the date to which
accrued interest is calculated for purposes of calculating the Redemption Price.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                                  Miscellaneous

         SECTION 11.1. Compliance Certificates and Opinions, etc. Upon any
application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any action
under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture
Trustee and to the Insurer if the application or request is made to the
Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate stating that all conditions
precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture relating to the proposed
action have been complied with, (ii) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the
opinion of such counsel all such conditions precedent, if any, have been
complied with and (iii) (if required by the TIA or any provision of this
Agreement) an Independent Certificate from a firm of certified public
accountants meeting the applicable requirements of this Section, 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:

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

                  (ii) a brief statement as to the nature and scope of the

         such signatory has made such examination or investigation as is
         necessary to enable such signatory to express an informed opinion as to
         whether or not such covenant or condition has been complied with; and

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

         SECTION 11.2. Form of Documents Delivered to Indenture Trustee. In any
case where several matters are required to be certified by, or covered by an
opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all such matters be
certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such Person, or that they
be so certified or covered by only one document, but one such Person may certify
or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one or more other such
Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify or give an opinion
as to such matters in one or several documents.

         Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer may
be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate or opinion
of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in the
exercise of reasonable care should know, that the certificate or opinion or
representations with respect to the matters upon which his or her certificate or
opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an Authorized Officer or
Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to factual matters, upon
a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an officer or officers of
the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Issuer, stating that the information with
respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Servicer, the
Sponsor 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 conclusively rely upon the
truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as
provided in Article VI.

         SECTION 11.3. Acts of Noteholders.

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.4. Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee, Issuer, Insurer and
Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of Noteholders or other documents provided or permitted by this
Indenture to be made upon, given or furnished to or filed with:

         (a) The Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by
overnight courier or mailed first-class and shall be deemed to have been duly
given upon receipt to the Indenture Trustee at its Corporate Trust Office and
any notice delivered by facsimile shall be addressed to the Corporate Trust
Office, telecopy number (212) 238-7620, or

                                       56
<PAGE>

         (b) The Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall be
sufficient for every purpose hereunder if personally delivered, delivered by
facsimile or overnight courier or mailed first class, and shall deemed to have
been duly given upon receipt to the Issuer addressed to: GreenPoint Home Equity
Loan Trust 2001-2, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square North,
1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, DE 19890-0001 Attention: Corporate Trust
Administration, or at any other address previously furnished in writing to the
Indenture Trustee by Issuer. The Issuer shall promptly transmit any notice
received by it from the Noteholders to the Indenture Trustee.

         (c) The Insurer by the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be
sufficient for any purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed by first-class
mail personally delivered or telecopied to the recipient as follows:

                  To the Insurer:   MBIA Insurance Corporation
                                    113 King Street
                                    Armonk, NY 10504
                                    Attention:  Insured Portfolio Management--
                                    Structured Finance ("IPM-SF") (GreenPoint
                                    Home Equity Loan Trust 2001-2)

                                    Telecopy:  (914) 765-3605

         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, delivered by overnight courier or first class or via facsimile to (i)
in the case of Moody's, at the following address: Moody's Investors Service,
Inc., 99 Church Street, New York, New York 10004, Fax No: (212) 533-0355 and
(ii) in the case of S&P, at the following address: Standard & Poor's, a division
of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., 55 Water Street, New York, New York 10041,
Attention: Asset Backed Surveillance Department, Fax No: (212) 438-2661; or as
to each of the foregoing, at such other address as shall be designated by
written notice to the other parties.

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

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

                                       57
<PAGE>

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

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

         SECTION 11.6. 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 or any Note Paying Agent to such
Holder, that is different from the methods provided for in this Indenture for
such payments or notices, provided that such methods are reasonable and
consented to by the Indenture Trustee (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld). The Issuer will furnish to the Indenture Trustee a copy of each such
agreement and the Indenture Trustee will cause payments to be made and notices
to be given in accordance with such agreements.

         SECTION 11.7. Conflict with Trust Indenture Act. If any provision
hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof that is
required to be included in this indenture by any of the provisions of the TIA,
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 11.8. Effect of Headings and Table of Contents. The Article and
Section headings herein and the Table of Contents are for convenience only and
shall not affect the construction hereof.

         SECTION 11.9. Successors and Assigns. All covenants and agreements in
this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its successors and
assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the Indenture Trustee in
this Indenture shall bind its successors.

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

         SECTION 11.11. Benefits of Indenture. The Insurer and its successors
and assigns shall be third-party beneficiaries to the provisions of this
Indenture, and shall be entitled to rely upon and directly to enforce such
provisions of this 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, the Insurer, and the Noteholders, and any other party
secured hereunder, and any other person with an ownership interest in any part
of the Trust Property, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture. The Insurer may disclaim any of its rights and
powers under this Indenture (in which case the Indenture Trustee may exercise
such rights or powers hereunder), but not its duties and obligations under the
Policy upon delivery of a written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

                                       58
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 11.16. Trust Obligation. No recourse may be taken, directly or
indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Sponsor, the
Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this
Indenture or any Note or other writing delivered in connection herewith or
therewith, against (i) the Sponsor, the Servicer, 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 Sponsor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee
or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a beneficial
interest in the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Sponsor, the Servicer,
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 owner or beneficiary shall be
fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable law, for any unpaid
consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or failure to pay any
installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of this Indenture, in
the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer hereunder, the Owner
Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of Articles VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

                                       59
<PAGE>

         SECTION 11.17. No Petition. The Indenture Trustee, by entering into
this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time institute against the Sponsor, or the
Issuer, or join in any institution against the Sponsor, or the Issuer of, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings,
or other proceedings under any United States Federal or state bankruptcy or
similar law in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, this
Indenture or any of the Basic Documents.

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

         SECTION 11.19. Limitation of Liability. It is expressly understood and
agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture is executed and delivered
by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally but solely as Owner
Trustee of the Issuer under the Trust Agreement, in the exercise of the powers
and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the representations,
undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the Issuer is made and
intended not as personal representations, undertakings and agreements by
Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose for binding
only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as creating any
liability on Wilmington Trust Company individually or personally, to perform any
covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such liability, if
any, being expressly waived by the parties to this Indenture and by any person
claiming by, through or under them and (d) under no circumstances shall
Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the payment of any
indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the breach or failure of
any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made or undertaking by the
Issuer under this Indenture or any related documents.

                                  ARTICLE XII

                            Rapid Amortization Events

         SECTION 12.1. Rapid Amortization Events. The following shall constitute
Rapid Amortization Events with respect to each Class of Notes:

         (a) failure on the part of the Issuer, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as
the case may be, (i) to make any payment or deposit required by the terms of
this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Insurance Agreement,
within two Business Days after notification that such payment or deposit is
required to be made, or (ii) to observe or perform in any material respect the
covenants or agreements of the Issuer, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case
may be, set forth in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Insurance Agreement
or this Indenture, as the case may be, and which, in the case of clause (ii),
continues unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which written
notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
to the Issuer, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, by the Indenture
Trustee, or to the Issuer, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and
the Indenture Trustee by the Insurer or Holders of Notes evidencing more than
50% of the Outstanding Amount;

                                       60
<PAGE>

         (b) any representation or warranty made by the Issuer, the Sponsor or
the Servicer, as the case may be, in this Indenture, the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or the Insurance Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any
material respect when made, as a result of which the interests of the
Noteholders or the Insurer are materially and adversely affected and which
continues to be incorrect in any material respect and continues to affect
materially and adversely the interests of the Noteholders or the Insurer for a
period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Issuer, the
Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, by the Indenture Trustee, or to the
Issuer, the Sponsor or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Indenture
Trustee by either the Insurer or the Holders of Notes evidencing more than 50%
of the Outstanding Amount; provided, however, that with respect to any such
representation or warranty made with respect to the related Mortgage Loans, a
Rapid Amortization Event pursuant to this subparagraph (b) shall not be deemed
to have occurred hereunder if the Servicer or the Sponsor has accepted
retransfer of such related Mortgage Loan or related Mortgage Loans during such
period (or such longer period not to exceed an additional 60 days as the
Indenture Trustee may specify with the consent of the Insurer) in accordance
with the provisions hereof;

         (c) the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Issuer or any of their
Subsidiaries or Affiliates shall voluntarily go into liquidation, consent to the
appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator or similar person in any
insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer, the Sponsor or the Trust or
of or relating to all or substantially all of such Person's property, or a
decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator, receiver,
liquidator or similar person in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the
Servicer, the Sponsor of the Trust and such decree or order shall have remained
in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 30 days; or the Servicer, the
Sponsor or the Trust shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations;

         (d) the Issuer becomes subject to regulation by the Securities and
Exchange Commission as an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

                                       61
<PAGE>

         (e) any draw is made under the Policy with respect to any Class;

         (f) an Event of Servicing Termination has occurred; and

         (g) default in the payment of any interest, principal or any
installment of principal on the related Class of Class A Notes when the same
becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a period of five
Business Days.

         The occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event with respect to a Class of
Notes will cause the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event with respect to
the other Classes of Notes.

         In the case of any event described in clauses (a) through (f) above, a
Rapid Amortization Event will be deemed to have occurred only if, after the
applicable grace period, if any, described in the Indenture or Sale and
Servicing Agreement, any of the Indenture Trustee or Holders holding Class A
Notes evidencing more than 50% of the outstanding principal balance of the Class
A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes or the Class A-3 Notes, as applicable, in each
case with the prior written consent of the Insurer (so long as there is no
continuing default by the Insurer in the performance of its obligations under
the Policy, or a downgrade in the rating of the Insurer) or the Insurer (so long
as there is no continuing default by the Insurer in the performance of its
obligations under the Policy), by written notice to the Trust, the Insurer, the
Sponsor, and the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee, if given by the
Noteholders or the Insurer) declare that a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred
as of the date of such notice, or in the case of any event described in clause
(g), the Indenture Trustee or Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the
outstanding principal balance of the related Class of Class A Notes, by such
written notice declare that a Rapid Amortization Event has occurred as of the
date of such notice. Following the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event
described in clauses (a) through (f), the Insurer (so long as there is no
continuing default by the Insurer in the performance of its obligations under
the Policy) shall have the right to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell the
related Mortgage Loans. Following the occurrence of a Rapid Amortization Event
described in clause (g), the Noteholders evidencing more than 50% of the
outstanding principal balance of the related Class of Class A Notes shall have
the right to so direct the Indenture Trustee.

         In addition to the consequences of a Rapid Amortization Event discussed
above, if the Sponsor voluntarily files a bankruptcy petition or goes into
liquidation or any person is appointed a receiver or bankruptcy trustee of the
Sponsor, on the day of any such filing or appointment no further Additional
Balances will be transferred to the Trust, and the Sponsor will promptly give
notice to the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer of any such filing or
appointment. Within 15 days, the Indenture Trustee will publish a notice of the
occurrence of such event. If so directed by the Insurer, so long as no Insurer
Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee will sell,
dispose of or otherwise liquidate the Trust Property with respect to the
Mortgage Loans in each Pool in a commercially reasonable manner and on
commercially reasonable terms. So long as no Event of Servicing Termination has
occurred and is continuing, any such sale, disposal or liquidation will be
"servicing retained" by the Servicer. With respect to each Pool and the related
Class of Class A Notes, the net proceeds of such sale will be paid (i) first, to
the Holders of such Class of Class A Notes insofar as may be necessary to reduce
the principal balance of such Class, together with all accrued and unpaid
interest due thereon, to zero

                                       62
<PAGE>

and to the Class S Certificateholders insofar as may be necessary to pay all
accrued and unpaid interest due on the Class S Certificates, (ii) second, to
reimburse the Insurer to the extent of unreimbursed draws under the Policy and
other amounts owing to the Insurer, and (iii) third, to the Residual
Certificateholder.

<PAGE>
         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee have caused
this Indenture to be duly executed by their respective officers, hereunto duly
authorized, all as of the day and year first above written.

the related Class of Notes, for the purpose of increasing the related
Overcollateralization Amount, and to be paid from the Excess Cashflow with

registered assigns, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
($100,000,000), such amount payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to
the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction the numerator of which is
$100,000,000 and the denominator of which is $100,000,000 by (ii) the aggregate
amount, if any, payable from the Collection Account in respect of principal on

in the Indenture on each Payment Date on the principal amount of this Class A-1
Note outstanding on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all
payments of principal made on the preceding Payment Date). Interest on this
Class A-1 Note will accrue for each Payment Date from the most recent Payment
Date on which interest has been paid to but excluding such Payment Date or, if

is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by
the Issuer with respect to this Class A-1 Note shall be applied first to
interest due and payable on this Class A-1 Note as provided above and then to
the unpaid principal of this Class A-1 Note.

         The Notes are entitled to the benefits of a financial guaranty
insurance policy (the "Policy") issued by MBIA Insurance Corporation (the
"Insurer"), pursuant to which the Insurer has unconditionally guaranteed
payments of the Insured Payments with respect to the Class A-1 Notes on each
Payment Date, all as more fully set forth in the Policy.

         For purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise
and any other income taxes, the Issuer will treat the Notes as indebtedness of
the Sponsor and hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to treat the Notes as
indebtedness of the Sponsor for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Each
Noteholder by acceptance of a Note (and each owner of a beneficial interest in a
Note by acceptance of such beneficial interest) agrees to treat the Notes for
federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes
as indebtedness of the Sponsor.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Class A-1 Note or,
in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and
agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to
the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Class A-1 Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Sponsor, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee, or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any

Servicer, 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 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.

A-1 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on

the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, as Indenture
Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), which term includes any successor Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture.

         All terms used in this Class A-1 Note that are defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them
in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. If any such
terms are not defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, then such
terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Trust
Agreement dated as of November 1, 2001 (such trust agreement, as supplemented or
amended is herein called the "Trust Agreement"), between GreenPoint Mortgage
Securities, Inc., as sponsor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee
(the "Owner Trustee," which term includes any successor Owner Trustee under the
Trust Agreement), as so supplemented or amended.

         The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes, and the Class A-3 Notes
(together, the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the

A-1 Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date on which a Rapid Amortization Period
as described in Section 5.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing and, in the
limited instances specified in the Indenture, the Holders representing more than
50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-1 Notes, with the prior written
consent of the Insurer (so long as there is no continuing Insurer Default) shall
have the right among others to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate
the Pool I Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 12.1 of the Indenture and pay
such amounts to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes. All principal payments on
the Class A-1 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Class A-1 Notes
entitled thereto.

         Payments of interest on this Class A-1 Note due and payable on each
Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent

Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class A-1 Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each
Record Date, except that with respect to Class A-1 Note registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring
that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the
principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by
any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders
of this Class A-1 Note and of any Class A-1 Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A-1
Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf
of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record
Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Class A-1 Note at the office designated by the Indenture
Trustee for such purposes located in The City of New York.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Class A-1 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

         As provided in the Indenture, the Class A-1 Notes may be redeemed
pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the
option of the Sponsor (with the consent of the Insurer under certain
circumstances), on any Payment Date after the Payment Date on which the Class
A-1 Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Class
A-1 Note Principal Balance, after taking into account all distributions made on
such Payment Date.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set

Register upon surrender of this Class A-1 Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i)
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his
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 Notes Transfer Agents
Medallion Program ("Stamp") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may
be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new
Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A-1
Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such
registration of transfer or exchange.

                    GREENPOINT HOME EQUITY LOAN TRUST 2001-2

                   CLASS A-2 VARIABLE RATE ASSET BACKED NOTES

         GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Trust 2001-2, a business trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the
"Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS
($100,000,000), such amount payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to
the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction the numerator of which is
$100,000,000 and the denominator of which is $100,000,000 by (ii) the aggregate
amount, if any, payable from the Collection Account in respect of principal on
the Class A-2 Notes pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Indenture; provided, however,
that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A-2 Note shall be due and
payable on the Payment Date in November 2027 (the "Final Scheduled Payment
Date"). The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum provided
in the Indenture on each Payment Date on the principal amount of this Class A-2
Note outstanding on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all
payments of principal made on the preceding Payment Date). Interest on this
Class A-2 Note will accrue for each Payment Date from the most recent Payment
Date on which interest has been paid to but excluding such Payment Date or, if
no interest has yet been paid, from November 20, 2001. Interest will be computed
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. Such
principal of and interest on this Class A-2 Note shall be paid in the manner
specified on the reverse hereof.

         The principal of and interest on this Class A-2 Note are payable in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by
the Issuer with respect to this Class A-2 Note shall be applied first to
interest due and payable on this Class A-2 Note as provided above and then to
the unpaid principal of this Class A-2 Note.

         The Notes are entitled to the benefits of a financial guaranty
insurance policy (the "Policy") issued by MBIA Insurance Corporation (the
"Insurer"), pursuant to which the Insurer has unconditionally guaranteed
payments of the Insured Payments with respect to the Class A-2 Notes on each
Payment Date, all as more fully set forth in the Policy.

         For purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise
and any other income taxes, the Issuer will treat the Notes as indebtedness of
the Sponsor and hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to treat the Notes as
indebtedness of the Sponsor for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Each
Noteholder by acceptance of a Note (and each owner of a beneficial interest in a
Note by acceptance of such beneficial interest) agrees to treat the Notes for
federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes
as indebtedness of the Sponsor.

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Class A-2 Note or,
in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and
agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to
the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Class A-2 Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Sponsor, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee, or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any owner, beneficiary,
agent, officer, director or employee of the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee, or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Sponsor, the
Servicer, 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 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.


                                     A-2-2
<PAGE>

         Reference is made to the further provisions of this Class A-2 Note set
forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully
set forth on the face of this Class A-2 Note.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Class
A-2 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on
the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

         This Class A-2 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class A-2 Variable Rate Asset Backed Notes (herein
called the "Class A-2 Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of
November 1, 2001 (such agreement, as supplemented or amended, is herein called
the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and The Bank of New York, as Indenture
Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), which term includes any successor Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture.

         All terms used in this Class A-2 Note that are defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them
in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. If any such
terms are not defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, then such
terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Trust
Agreement dated as of November 1, 2001 (such trust agreement, as supplemented or
amended is herein called the "Trust Agreement"), between GreenPoint Mortgage
Securities, Inc., as sponsor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee
(the "Owner Trustee," which term includes any successor Owner Trustee under the
Trust Agreement), as so supplemented or amended.

         The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes
(together, the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

         Principal of the Class A-2 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
in an amount described in the Indenture. "Payment Date" means the fifteenth day
of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing December 17, 2001. The term "Payment Date," shall be
deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date.


                                     A-2-3
<PAGE>

         As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class
A-2 Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date on which a Rapid Amortization Period
as described in Section 5.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing and, in the
limited instances specified in the Indenture, the Holders representing more than
50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-2 Notes, with the prior written
consent of the Insurer (so long as there is no continuing Insurer Default) shall
have the right among others to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate
the Pool II Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 12.1 of the Indenture and pay
such amounts to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes. All principal payments on
the Class A-2 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Class A-2 Notes
entitled thereto.

         Payments of interest on this Class A-2 Note due and payable on each
Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent
not in full payment of this Class A-2 Note, shall be made by check mailed to the
Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class A-2 Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each
Record Date, except that with respect to Class A-2 Note registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring
that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the
principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by
any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders
of this Class A-2 Note and of any Class A-2 Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A-2
Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf
of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record
Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Class A-2 Note at the office designated by the Indenture
Trustee for such purposes located in The City of New York.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Class A-2 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

         As provided in the Indenture, the Class A-2 Notes may be redeemed
pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the
option of the Sponsor (with the consent of the Insurer under certain
circumstances), on any Payment Date after the Payment Date on which the Class
A-2 Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Class
A-2 Note Principal Balance, after taking into account all distributions made on
such Payment Date.

                                     A-2-4
<PAGE>

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Class A-2 Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Class A-2 Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i)
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his
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 Notes Transfer Agents
Medallion Program ("Stamp") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may
be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new
Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A-2
Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such
registration of transfer or exchange.

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

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of a Note or, in the case
of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note covenants and agrees that by
accepting the benefits of the Indenture and the Trust Agreement that such
Noteholder will not at any time institute against the Sponsor, or the Issuer or
join in any institution against the Sponsor, 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, the Trust Agreement,
the Indenture or the Basic Documents.

         Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Insurer and any agent of the Issuer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Insurer may treat the Person in whose name this
Note (as of the day of determination or as of such other date as may be
specified in the Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee nor 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 rights of the Holders of the Note under the Indenture at any time
by the Issuer with the consent of the Insurer and of the Holders of Notes
representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all Notes at the time
Outstanding. 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 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 the consent of the Insurer.

                    GREENPOINT HOME EQUITY LOAN TRUST 2001-2

                   CLASS A-3 VARIABLE RATE ASSET BACKED NOTES

         GreenPoint Home Equity Loan Trust 2001-2, a business trust organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (herein referred to as the
"Issuer"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or
registered assigns, the principal sum of TWO HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
($245,000,000), such amount payable on each Payment Date in an amount equal to
the result obtained by multiplying (i) a fraction the numerator of which is
$245,000,000 and the denominator of which is $245,000,000 by (ii) the aggregate
amount, if any, payable from the Collection Account in respect of principal on
the Class A-3 Notes pursuant to Section 8.7 of the Indenture; provided, however,
that the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class A-3 Note shall be due and
payable on the Payment Date in November 2027 (the "Final Scheduled Payment
Date"). The Issuer will pay interest on this Note at the rate per annum provided
in the Indenture on each Payment Date on the principal amount of this Class A-3
Note outstanding on the preceding Payment Date (after giving effect to all
payments of principal made on the preceding Payment Date). Interest on this
Class A-3 Note will accrue for each Payment Date from the most recent Payment
Date on which interest has been paid to but excluding such Payment Date or, if
no interest has yet been paid, from November 20, 2001. Interest will be computed
on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed in a 360-day year. Such
principal of and interest on this Class A-3 Note shall be paid in the manner
specified on the reverse hereof.

         The principal of and interest on this Class A-3 Note are payable in
such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment
is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. All payments made by
the Issuer with respect to this Class A-3 Note shall be applied first to
interest due and payable on this Class A-3 Note as provided above and then to
the unpaid principal of this Class A-3 Note.

         The Notes are entitled to the benefits of a financial guaranty
insurance policy (the "Policy") issued by MBIA Insurance Corporation (the
"Insurer"), pursuant to which the Insurer has unconditionally guaranteed
payments of the Insured Payments with respect to the Class A-3 Notes on each
Payment Date, all as more fully set forth in the Policy.

         For purposes of federal income, state and local income and franchise
and any other income taxes, the Issuer will treat the Notes as indebtedness of
the Sponsor and hereby instructs the Indenture Trustee to treat the Notes as
indebtedness of the Sponsor for federal and state tax reporting purposes. Each
Noteholder by acceptance of a Note (and each owner of a beneficial interest in a
Note by acceptance of such beneficial interest) agrees to treat the Notes for
federal income, state and local income and franchise and any other income taxes
as indebtedness of the Sponsor.

                                     A-3-2
<PAGE>

         Each Noteholder or Note Owner, by acceptance of this Class A-3 Note or,
in the case of a Note Owner, a beneficial interest in a Note, covenants and
agrees that no recourse may be taken, directly or indirectly, with respect to
the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the
Class A-3 Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing
delivered in connection therewith, against (i) the Sponsor, the Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee, or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, (ii) any
owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any owner, beneficiary,
agent, officer, director or employee of the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee, or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of a
beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Sponsor, the Servicer, the Owner Trustee
or the Indenture Trustee or of any successor or assign of the Sponsor, the
Servicer, 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 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.

         Reference is made to the further provisions of this Class A-3 Note set
forth on the reverse hereof, which shall have the same effect as though fully
set forth on the face of this Class A-3 Note.

         Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by
the Indenture Trustee whose name appears below by manual signature, this Class
A-3 Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture referred to on
the reverse hereof, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

         This Class A-3 Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Notes of the
Issuer, designated as its Class A-3 Variable Rate Asset Backed Notes (herein
called the "Class A-3 Notes"), all issued under an Indenture dated as of
November 1, 2001 (such agreement, as supplemented or amended, is herein called
the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and the Bank of New York, as Indenture
Trustee (the "Indenture Trustee"), which term includes any successor Indenture
Trustee under the Indenture.

         All terms used in this Class A-3 Note that are defined in the
Indenture, as supplemented or amended, shall have the meanings assigned to them
in or pursuant to the Indenture, as so supplemented or amended. If any such
terms are not defined in the Indenture, as supplemented or amended, then such
terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in or pursuant to the Trust
Agreement dated as of November 1, 2001 (such trust agreement, as supplemented or
amended is herein called the "Trust Agreement"), between GreenPoint Mortgage
Securities, Inc., as sponsor, and Wilmington Trust Company, as Owner Trustee
(the "Owner Trustee," which term includes any successor Owner Trustee under the
Trust Agreement), as so supplemented or amended.

         The Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class A-3 Notes
(together, the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

         Principal of the Class A-3 Notes will be payable on each Payment Date
in an amount described in the Indenture. "Payment Date" means the fifteenth day
of each month, or, if any such date is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day, commencing December 17, 2001. The term "Payment Date," shall be
deemed to include the Final Scheduled Payment Date.

                                     A-3-3
<PAGE>

         As described above, the entire unpaid principal amount of this Class
A-3 Note shall be due and payable on the earlier of the Final Scheduled Payment
Date and the Redemption Date, if any, pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, on the date on which a Rapid Amortization Period
as described in Section 5.1(a) shall have occurred and be continuing and, in the
limited instances specified in the Indenture, the Holders representing more than
50% of the Outstanding Amount of the Class A-3 Notes, with the prior written
consent of the Insurer (so long as there is no continuing Insurer Default) shall
have the right among others to direct the Indenture Trustee to sell or liquidate
the Pool III Mortgage Loans as provided in Section 12.1 of the Indenture and pay
such amounts to the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes. All principal payments on
the Class A-3 Notes shall be made pro rata to the Holders of the Class A-3 Notes
entitled thereto.

         Payments of interest on this Class A-3 Note due and payable on each
Payment Date, together with the installment of principal, if any, to the extent
not in full payment of this Class A-3 Note, shall be made by check mailed to the
Person whose name appears as the Holder of this Class A-3 Note (or one or more
Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as of the close of business on each
Record Date, except that with respect to Class A-3 Note registered on the Record
Date in the name of the nominee of the Clearing Agency (initially, such nominee
to be Cede & Co.), payments will be made by wire transfer in immediately
available funds to the account designated by such nominee. Such checks shall be
mailed to the Person entitled thereto at the address of such Person as it
appears on the Note Register as of the applicable Record Date without requiring
that this Note be submitted for notation of payment. Any reduction in the
principal amount of this Note (or any one or more Predecessor Notes) effected by
any payments made on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all future Holders
of this Class A-3 Note and of any Class A-3 Note issued upon the registration of
transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not noted
hereon. If funds are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture, for
payment in full of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Class A-3
Note on a Payment Date, then the Indenture Trustee, in the name of and on behalf
of the Issuer, will notify the Person who was the Holder hereof as of the Record
Date preceding such Payment Date by notice mailed prior to such Payment Date and
the amount then due and payable shall be payable only upon presentation and
surrender of this Class A-3 Note at the office designated by the Indenture
Trustee for such purposes located in The City of New York.

         The Issuer shall pay interest on overdue installments of interest at
the Class A-3 Interest Rate to the extent lawful.

         As provided in the Indenture, the Class A-3 Notes may be redeemed
pursuant to Section 10.1 of the Indenture, in whole, but not in part, at the
option of the Sponsor (with the consent of the Insurer under certain
circumstances), on any Payment Date after the Payment Date on which the Class
A-3 Note Principal Balance is less than or equal to 10% of the Original Class
A-3 Note Principal Balance, after taking into account all distributions made on
such Payment Date.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations set
forth therein, the transfer of this Class A-3 Note may be registered on the Note
Register upon surrender of this Class A-3 Note for registration of transfer at
the office or agency designated by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, (i)
duly endorsed by, or accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Holder hereof or his
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 Notes Transfer Agents
Medallion Program ("Stamp") or such other "signature guarantee program" as may
be determined by the Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, Stamp,
all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and (ii) accompanied by such other
documents as the Indenture Trustee may require, and thereupon one or more new
Notes of authorized denominations and in the same aggregate principal amount
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. No service charge
will be charged for any registration of transfer or exchange of this Class A-3
Note, but the transferor may be required to pay a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any such
registration of transfer or exchange.

by applicable law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital

in connection with any obligations relating to the Notes, the Trust Agreement,

whether or not this Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee nor 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 rights of the Holders of the Note under the Indenture at any time
by the Issuer with the consent of the Insurer and of the Holders of Notes
representing a majority of the Outstanding Amount of all Notes at the time
Outstanding. 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 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 the consent of the Insurer.
