                  Re:      Amendment to Series E Subscription Agreement
                           --------------------------------------------

Gentlemen:

         Reference is made to that certain 6% Series E Convertible Preferred
Stock Subscription Agreement dated as of March 17, 1999, as amended on April 12,
1999 (the "Agreement") by and among ObjectSoft Corporation, a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), Settondown Capital International, Ltd. (the
"Placement Agent") and each of the other undersigned parties (the "Investors").

         For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
which is hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Letter Agreement hereby agree
as follows:

1.       Amendment to Agreement. The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
         Section 6.10 in its entirety and replacing it with a new Section 6.10,
         as follows:

                  "Section 6.10. Conversion Limitations. The Company, the
                 Investors and the Placement Agent agree that, unless and until
                 the approval of the Company's stockholders or a waiver from the
                 Nasdaq Stock Market is obtained as hereinafter set forth, the
                 total number of shares of Common Stock issued and issuable upon
                 the conversion of the Preferred Stock issued on the Closing
                 Date pursuant to the Certificate of Designation and/or upon
                 exercise of the Warrants shall not exceed 19.99% of the number
                 of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date.
                 The Company agrees that it shall include a resolution for
                 approval at its annual meeting of stockholders projected to
                 take place in May or June 1999 for the purpose of approving
                 below market price issuances of Common Stock to the Investors
                 equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of Common
                 Stock outstanding as of the Closing
<PAGE>

                 Date as required by Section 4310(c)(25)(H)(i) of the Nasdaq
                 Marketplace Rules, or other similar requirement. In the event
                 that the aforementioned proposal is not ratified by the
                 stockholders and the number of shares issued and potentially
                 issuable under the Certificate of Designation and upon exercise
                 of the Warrants exceeds in the aggregate 19.99% of the number
                 of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Closing Date,
                 the Company will use its reasonable efforts to obtain a waiver
                 from the Nasdaq Stock Market (or other applicable market or
                 exchange) to permit such issuances."

2.       Inconsistencies with Certificate of Designation. Any inconsistencies as
         between the Agreement, as amended pursuant to this Letter Agreement, on
         the one hand, and the Certificate of Designation of Series E
         Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company and the amendment thereto
         filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 9,
         1999 and March 16, 1999, respectively (the "Certificate of
         Designation"), on the other hand, including without limitation, Section
         6.10 of the Agreement, shall be governed by and resolved in accordance
         with the terms contained in the Agreement as amended by this Letter
         Agreement, notwithstanding any such inconsistency, and the parties
         hereto expressly waive any inconsistent rights under the terms
         contained in the Certificate of Designation.

3.       Remaining Terms of Agreement. All terms and provisions contained in the
         Agreement and not otherwise amended pursuant to this Letter Agreement
         shall continue in full force and effect.

4.       Capitalized Terms. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise
         defined herein shall have the meanings respectively ascribed to such
         terms in the Agreement.

5.       Governing Law. This Letter Agreement shall be governed by, and
         construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without
         giving effect to principles of conflicts of choice of laws thereof.

6.       Counterparts. This Letter Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
         each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which, when taken
         together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

                                      -2-

Statute (each series a "Sub-Trust"). Accordingly, it is the intent of the
parties hereto that Articles II, IV and X of this Trust Agreement shall apply

separate business trust under the Business Trust Statute, and each reference to
the term "Trust" in such Articles shall be deemed to be a reference to each such

use of the terms "Trust" or "Sub-Trust" in this Agreement shall in no event

of the limitation on interseries liability as set forth in Section 3804 of the
Business Trust Statute.

         Section 3.2  ESTABLISHMENT OF SUB-TRUST.

                           The Owner Trustee hereby establishes and designates

         the designated Sub-Trusts.

         Section 3.3 ASSETS OF SUB-TRUST. All consideration received by the
Trust Estate for the issuance or sale of the Notes relating to a particular Loan
Group and Sub-Trust, together with the entire Trust Estate in which such
consideration is invested or reinvested, all income, earnings, profits, and
proceeds thereof, including any proceeds derived from the sale, exchange or
liquidation of such assets, and any funds or payments derived from any
reinvestment of such proceeds in whatever form the same may be, shall
irrevocably belong solely to that Sub-Trust for all purposes, subject only to
the rights of creditors of such Sub-Trust and except as may otherwise be
provided in the Sale and Servicing Agreement or required by applicable tax laws,
and shall be so recorded upon the books of account of the Trust. Separate and
distinct records shall be maintained for each Sub-Trust and the assets
associated with a Sub-Trust shall be held and accounted for separately from the
other assets of the Trust Estate, and any other Sub-Trust. In the event that
there is any Trust Estate, or any income, earnings, profits, and proceeds
thereof, or funds or payments which are not readily identifiable as belonging to
any particular Sub-Trust, the Owner Trustee shall allocate them to the
Transferor Interest. Each such allocation by the Owner Trustee shall be
conclusive and binding upon all Noteholders and the Transferor for all purposes.

         Section 3.4  LIABILITIES OF SUB-TRUST.

                  (a) The Trust Estate belonging to each particular Sub-Trust
shall be charged with the liabilities of the Trust in respect of that Sub-Trust
and only that Sub-Trust and all expenses, costs, charges and reserves
attributable to that Sub-Trust, and any general liabilities, expenses, costs,
charges or reserves of the Trust which are not readily identifiable as belonging
to any particular Sub-Trust shall be allocated and charged by the Owner Trustee
to the Transferor. Each allocation of liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and
reserves by the Owner Trustee shall be conclusive and binding upon all
Noteholders and the Transferor for all purposes. The Owner

                                       11

<PAGE>

Trustee shall have full discretion, to the extent not inconsistent with
applicable law, to determine which items shall be treated as income and which
items as capital, and each such determination and allocation shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Noteholders and the Transferor. Every written
agreement, instrument or other undertaking made or issued by or on behalf of
a particular Sub-Trust shall include a recitation limiting the obligation or
claim represented thereby to that Sub-Trust and its assets.

         (b) Without limitation of the foregoing provisions of this Article, but
subject to the right of the Owner Trustee in its discretion to allocate general
liabilities, expenses, costs, charges or reserves as herein provided, the debts,
liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise
existing with respect to a particular Sub-Trust shall be enforceable against the
assets of such Sub-Trust only, and not against the assets (i) of the Trust
generally or (ii) of any other Sub-Trust. Notice of this limitation on
interseries liabilities shall be set forth in the Certificate of Trust of the
Trust (whether originally or by amendment) as filed or to be filed in the Office
of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware pursuant to the Business
Trust Statute, and upon the giving of such notice in the Certificate of Trust,
the statutory provisions of Section 3804 of the Business Trust Statute relating
to limitations on interseries liabilities (and the statutory effect under
Section 3804 of setting forth such notice in the Certificate of Trust) shall
become applicable to the Trust and each Sub-Trust. Every note, bond, contract,
instrument, certificate or other undertaking made or issued by or on behalf of a
particular Sub-Trust shall include a recitation limiting the obligation
represented thereby to that Sub-Trust and its assets in accordance with Section
3804(a) of the Business Trust Statute.

                           (iv) Such Person shall comply with the provisions of
         SECTION 4.13(b), as applicable, relating to the ERISA restrictions with
         respect to the acceptance or acquisition of such Transferor Interest.

                  (b) Each Prospective Transferor, other than the Transferor or
an affiliate of the Transferor, shall either:

                           (i) represent and warrant, in writing, to the Owner
         Trustee and the Certificate Registrar and any of their respective
         successors, in accordance with Exhibit B hereto, that the Prospective
         Transferor is not (A) an "employee benefit plan" within the meaning of
         Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
         amended ("ERISA"), or (B) a "plan" within the meaning of Section
         4975(e)(1) of the Code (any such plan or employee benefit plan, a
         "PLAN") or (C) any entity, including an insurance company separate

         by reason of a plan's investment in the entity and is not directly or
         indirectly purchasing such Transferor Interest on behalf of, as
         investment manager of, as named fiduciary of, as trustee of, or with
         assets of a Plan; or

                           (ii) furnish to the Owner Trustee and the Certificate
         Registrar and any of their respective successors an opinion of counsel
         acceptable to such persons that (A) the proposed issuance or transfer
         of such Transferor Interest to such Prospective Transferor will not
         cause any assets of the Trust to be deemed assets of a Plan, and (B)
         the proposed holding or transfer of such Transferor Interest will not
         cause the Owner Trustee or the Certificate Registrar or any of their
         respective successors to be a fiduciary of a Plan within the meaning of
         Section 3(21) of ERISA and will not give rise to a transaction
         described in Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975(c)(1) of the Code for
         which a statutory or administrative exemption is unavailable.

                  (c) The Transferor Interest shall bear an additional legend
referring to the foregoing restrictions contained in paragraph (b) above.

                  (d) The Prospective Transferor, other than the Transferor or
an affiliate of the Transferor, shall obtain an Opinion of Counsel to the effect
that, as a matter of federal income tax law, such Prospective Transferor is
permitted to accept the transfer of the Transferor Interest.

                  (e) The Transferor Interest may not be pledged or transferred
without delivery to the Certificate Registrar of an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such transfer would not jeopardize the tax treatment of the Trust,
would not subject the Trust to an entity-level tax, and would not jeopardize the
status of the Notes as debt for all purposes.

                  (f) No pledge or transfer of the Transferor Interest shall be
effective unless such purchase or transfer is (i) to a single beneficial owner
and (ii) accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of

                                       16
<PAGE>

the Trust, the Certificate Registrar, the Servicer or the Seller, to the
effect such pledge or transfer will not cause the Trust to be treated for
federal income tax purposes as a taxable mortgage pool, association or a
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

Transfer of the Transferor Interest shall be made only if accompanied by an
Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Owner Trustee, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Servicer or the
Seller, to the effect such transfer will not cause the Issuer to be treated for
federal income tax purposes as an association, a taxable mortgage pool or a
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation.

                   APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS; CERTAIN DUTIES

         Section 6.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF ELIGIBLE ACCOUNTS. The Owner Trustee shall
cause the Indenture Trustee to establish and maintain with the Indenture Trustee
for the benefit of the Owner Trustee one or more Eligible Accounts in accordance
with the Indenture.

         Section 6.2  APPLICATION OF TRUST FUNDS.

                  (a) On each Payment Date, the Paying Agent shall make the
distributions and payments set forth in Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing
Agreement from amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account.

                  (b) On or before the third Business Day following each Payment
Date, the Paying Agent shall send to DTC the statement provided to the Paying
Agent by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 5.03 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement with respect to such Payment Date.

                  (c) In the event that any withholding tax is imposed on the
Trust's payment (or allocations of income) to the Transferor, such tax shall
reduce the amount otherwise distributable to the Transferor in accordance with
this Section 6.2. The Paying Agent is hereby authorized and directed to retain
from amounts otherwise distributable to the Transferor sufficient funds for the
payment of any tax that is legally owed by the Trust (but such authorization
shall not prevent the Paying Agent from contesting any such tax in appropriate
proceedings, and withholding payment of such tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings). The amount of any withholding tax imposed with
respect to the Transferor shall be treated as cash distributed to the Transferor
at the time it is withheld by the Trust and remitted to the appropriate taxing
authority. If there is a possibility that withholding tax is payable with
respect to a distribution (such as a distribution to a non-U.S. Transferor), the
Paying Agent may in its sole discretion withhold such amounts in accordance with
this paragraph (c). In the event that the Transferor wishes to apply for a
refund of any such withholding tax, the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent shall
reasonably cooperate with the Transferor in making such claim so long as the
Transferor agrees to reimburse the Owner Trustee and the Paying Agent for any
out-of-pocket expenses incurred.

         Section 6.3 METHOD OF PAYMENT. Distributions required to be made to the
Transferor on any Payment Date shall be made to the Transferor of record on the
preceding Record Date in the manner set forth in Section 5.01 of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

         Section 6.4  [Reserved].

         Section 6.5 ACCOUNTING AND REPORTS TO THE TRANSFEROR, THE INTERNAL
REVENUE SERVICE AND OTHERS. The Owner Trustee shall deliver to the Transferor
such information, reports or statements as may be required by the Code and
applicable Treasury Regulations and as may be required to enable the Transferor
to prepare its respective federal and state income tax returns. Consistent with
the Trust's (and each Loan Group's and Sub-Trust's) characterization for tax
purposes as a security arrangement for the issuance of non-recourse debt, no
federal income tax

                                      21

return shall be filed on behalf of the Trust unless either (a) the Trust, the
Sub-Trusts, the Transferor, the Owner Trustee or the Transferor receives an
Opinion of Counsel based on a change in applicable law occurring after the
date hereof that the Code requires such a filing or (b) the Internal Revenue
Service shall determine that the Trust (or a related Loan Group or Sub-Trust)
is required to file such a return. In the event that the Trust (or a related
Loan Group or Sub-Trust) is required to file tax returns, the Owner Trustee
shall elect under Section 1278 of the Code to include in income currently any
market discount that accrues with respect to the Home Equity Loans. The Owner
Trustee shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared any tax returns required
to be filed by the Trust or the Sub-Trusts and shall remit such returns to
the Transferor at least five days before such returns are due to be filed.
The Transferor, or any other such party required by law, shall promptly sign
such returns and deliver such returns after signature to the Owner Trustee
and such returns shall be filed by, or at the direction of, the Owner Trustee
with the appropriate tax authorities. In no event shall the Transferor be
liable for any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust or the Sub-Trusts
arising out of the application of any tax law, including federal, state,
foreign or local income or excise taxes or any other tax imposed on or
measured by income (or any interest, penalty or addition with respect thereto
or arising from a failure to comply therewith), except for any such
liability, cost or expense attributable to the Transferor's breach of its
obligations under this Agreement.

         Section 6.6  SIGNATURE ON RETURNS.

         The Owner Trustee shall sign on behalf of the Trust or the Sub-Trusts
the tax returns of the Trust or the Sub-Trusts, if any, unless applicable law
requires a Transferor to sign such documents, in which case such documents shall
be signed by the Transferor.

Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall be deemed to
have discharged its duties and responsibilities hereunder and under the
Transaction Documents to the extent the Administrator or CHEC Funding, LLC
("CHEC") has agreed in the Administration Agreement to perform any act or to
discharge any duty of the Owner Trustee hereunder or under any Transaction
Document, including discretionary duties, and the Owner Trustee shall not be
held liable for the default or failure of the Administrator or CHEC to carry out
their respective obligations under the Administration Agreement.

exercised at any time by written instruction of the Transferor pursuant to
Article V.

                  (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner Trustee shall not
be required to take any action hereunder or under any Transaction Document if
the Owner Trustee shall have reasonably determined, or shall have been advised
by counsel, that such action is likely to result in liability on the part of the
Owner Trustee or is contrary to the terms hereof or of any Transaction Document
or is otherwise contrary to law.

                  (c) Whenever the Owner Trustee is unable to decide between
alternative courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this
Agreement or under any Transaction Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly
give notice (in such form as shall be appropriate

                                      23
<PAGE>

under the circumstances) to the Transferor and the Insurer (so long as no
Insurer Default exists) requesting instruction from the Transferor and the
Insurer (so long as no Insurer Default exists) as to the course of action to
be adopted, and to the extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in
accordance with any written instruction of the Transferor or the Insurer
received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable on account of such action to
any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received appropriate
instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter period of
time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary under
the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain
from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the
Transaction Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the
Transferor, and shall have no liability to any Person for such action or
inaction.

                  (d) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the
application of any provision of this Agreement or any Transaction Document or
any such provision is ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be,
in conflict with any other applicable provision, or in the event that this
Agreement provides no direction to the Owner Trustee or is silent or is
incomplete as to the course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take
with respect to a particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in
such form as shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Transferor and
the Insurer requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee
acts or refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such
instruction received from the Insurer, or if there is an Insurer Default, the
Transferor, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or
inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received
appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter
period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary
under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain
from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Transaction
Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interest of the Transferor, and
shall have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.

         Section 7.4 NO DUTIES EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE
TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS OR IN INSTRUCTIONS. The Owner Trustee shall not have any
duty or obligation to manage, make any payment with respect to, register,
record, sell, dispose of, or otherwise deal with the Owner Trust Estate, or to
otherwise take or refrain from taking any action under, or in connection with,
any document contemplated hereby to which the Owner Trustee or the Trust is a
party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement, any
Transaction Document or in any document or written instruction received by the
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 7.3; and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement or any Transaction Document against the Owner
Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing
or continuation statement in any public office at anytime or to otherwise
perfect or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to
it hereunder or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing
for the Trust or to record this Agreement or any Transaction Document. The Owner
Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost and expense, promptly
take all action as may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the
Owner Trust Estate that result from actions by, or claims against, the Owner
Trustee that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Owner
Trust Estate.

         Section 7.5 NO ACTION EXCEPT UNDER SPECIFIED DOCUMENTS OR INSTRUCTIONS.
The Owner Trustee shall not manage, control, use, sell, dispose of or otherwise
deal with any part of the Owner Trust Estate except (i) in accordance with the
powers granted to and the authority conferred upon the Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Transaction Documents and (iii) in
accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner Trustee
pursuant to Section 7.3 above.

         Section 7.6 RESTRICTIONS. The Owner Trustee shall not take any action
(a) that is inconsistent with the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3
hereof or (b) that, to the actual knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result
in the Trust's becoming taxable as a corporation for federal income tax
purposes. The Transferor shall not direct the Owner Trustee to take action that
would violate the provisions of this Section 7.6 .

Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and
liabilities that may be incurred by the Owner Trustee therein or thereby. The
right of the Owner Trustee to perform any discretionary act enumerated in this
Agreement or in any Transaction Document shall not be construed as a duty, and

representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of any
Transaction Document or of the Transferor Interest (other than the signature
of the Owner Trustee on the Certificate and as specified in Section 8.3
hereof) or the Notes, or of any Home Equity Loans or related documents. The

         Section 9.1    OWNER TRUSTEE'S FEES AND EXPENSES. The Owner Trustee
shall receive as compensation for its services hereunder such fees as have

expenses and disbursements (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) of
any kind and nature whatsoever (collectively, "Expenses") which may at any

of the matters described in the third sentence of Section 8.1 hereof. The

event of any claim, action or proceeding for which indemnity will be sought
pursuant to this Section 9.2, the Owner Trustee's choice of legal counsel
shall be subject to the approval of the Seller, which approval shall not be

                         TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT

         Section 10.1   TERMINATION OF TRUST AGREEMENT.

                  (a) This Agreement (other than Article IX) and the Trust shall
terminate pursuant to the Business Trust Statute and be of no further force or
effect on the earlier of (i) the satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture
pursuant to Section 4.1 of the Indenture and the termination of the Sale and
Servicing Agreement and (ii) the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy (the late ambassador of
the United States to the Court of St. James's) alive on the date hereof. The
bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution, death or incapacity of the Transferor
shall not (x) operate to terminate this Agreement or the Trust, nor (y) entitle
such Transferor's legal representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to
take any action or proceeding in any court for a partition or winding-up of all
or any part of the Trust or Owner Trust Estate nor (z) otherwise affect the
rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties hereto.

                  (b) The Transferor Interest shall be subject to an early
redemption or termination at the option of the Servicer in the manner and
subject to the provisions of Section 8.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  (c) Except as provided in Sections 10.1(a) and (b) above, none

Trustee or the Transferor shall be entitled to revoke or terminate the Trust.

                  (d) Notice of any termination of the Trust, specifying the
Payment Date upon which the Transferor shall surrender their Transferor Interest
to the Paying Agent for payment of the final distributions and cancellation,
shall be given by the Certificate Registrar to the Transferor, the Insurer and
the Rating Agencies mailed within five Business Days of receipt by the
Certificate Registrar of notice of such termination pursuant to (a) or (b)
above, which notice given by the Owner Trustee shall state (i) the Payment Date
upon or with respect to which final payment of the Certificate Registrar shall
be made upon presentation and surrender of the Transferor Interest at the office
of the Paying Agent therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final
payment and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date
is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of
the Transferor Interest at the office of the Paying Agent therein specified. The
Certificate Registrar shall give such notice to the Owner Trustee and the Paying
Agent at the time such notice is given to the Transferor. Upon presentation and
surrender of the Transferor Interest, the Paying Agent shall cause to be
distributed to the Transferor amounts distributable on such Payment Date
pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

                  In the event that the Transferor shall not surrender its
Transferor Interest for cancellation within six months after the date specified
in the above mentioned written notice, the Certificate Registrar shall give a
second written notice to the Transferor to surrender the Transferor Interest for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If

                                      31

within one year after the second notice the Transferor Interest shall not
have been surrendered for cancellation, the Certificate Registrar may take
appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to
contact the remaining Transferor concerning surrender of the Transferor
Interest, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets that shall remain subject to this Agreement. Any funds remaining in
the Trust after exhaustion of such remedies shall be distributed by the
Paying Agent to the Transferor.

                  (e) Upon the winding up of the Trust and its termination, the
Owner Trustee shall cause the Certificate of Trust to be canceled by filing a
certificate of cancellation with the Secretary of State in accordance with the
Business Trust Statute.

             SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEES AND ADDITIONAL OWNER TRUSTEES

         Section 11.1   ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR OWNER TRUSTEE. The Owner
Trustee shall at all times be a corporation satisfying the provisions of the
Business Trust Statute; authorized to exercise corporate powers; having a
combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to
supervision or examination by federal or state authorities; and having (or
having a parent which has) a long-term rating of at least "A" (or its
equivalent) by each of Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The
McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., and Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and being
acceptable to the Insurer. If such corporation shall publish reports of
condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining authority, then for the purpose of this
Section, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation shall be deemed
to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report
of condition so published. In case at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease
to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.1, the
Owner Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
specified in Section 11.2.

         Section 11.2   RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF OWNER TRUSTEE. The Owner
Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Rating Agencies, the Insurer and the Seller. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a
successor Owner Trustee with the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy
of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one
copy to the successor Owner Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Owner Trustee or the
Insurer may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Owner Trustee.

         If at any time the Owner Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11.1 above and shall fail to resign
after written request therefor by the Indenture Trustee, or if at any time the
Owner Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or
insolvent, or a receiver of the Owner Trustee or of its property shall be
appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control of the Owner
Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Indenture Trustee may, and, at the
direction of the Insurer, shall, remove the Owner Trustee. If the Indenture
Trustee shall remove the Owner Trustee under the authority of the immediately
preceding sentence, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly appoint a successor
Owner Trustee acceptable to the Insurer by written instrument in duplicate, one
copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the outgoing Owner Trustee so
removed and one copy to the successor Owner Trustee and payment of all fees owed
to the outgoing Owner Trustee.

         Any resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee and appointment of a
successor Owner Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.2
shall not become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor
Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 11.3, written approval by the Insurer and
payment of all fees and expenses owed to the outgoing Owner

                                      33

Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall provide notice of such
resignation or removal of the Owner Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

         Section 11.3   SUCCESSOR OWNER TRUSTEE. Any successor Owner Trustee
appointed pursuant to Section 11.2 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to
the Indenture Trustee, the Insurer and to its predecessor Owner Trustee an
instrument accepting such appointment under this Agreement, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Owner Trustee shall become
effective and such successor Owner Trustee (if acceptable to the Insurer),
without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with
all the rights, powers, duties, and obligations of its predecessor under this
Agreement, with like effect as if originally named as Owner Trustee. The
predecessor Owner Trustee shall upon payment of its fees and expenses deliver
to the successor Owner Trustee all documents and statements and monies held
by it under this Agreement; and the Indenture Trustee and the predecessor
Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties,
and obligations.

         No successor Owner Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 11.3 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Owner Trustee
shall be eligible pursuant to Section 11.1 above.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to
this Section 11.3, the Indenture Trustee shall mail notice of the successor of
such Owner Trustee to the Transferor, the Noteholders, the Insurer and the
Rating Agencies. If the Indenture Trustee fails to mail such notice within 10
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee, the
successor Owner Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of
the Indenture Trustee.

         Section 11.4   MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF OWNER TRUSTEE. Any
corporation into which the Owner Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which either may be consolidated or any corporation resulting from any
merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Owner Trustee shall be a
party, or any corporation succeeding to all or substantially all of the
corporate trust business of the Owner Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Owner Trustee, as the case may be, hereunder, PROVIDED such corporation shall
be eligible pursuant to Section 11.1 above, without the execution or filing

part of the Owner Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person, in such capacity,
such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Owner Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. No co-owner
trustee or separate trustee under this Section 11.5 shall be required to meet
the terms of eligibility as a successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section
11.1 above and no notice of the appointment of any co-owner trustee or
separate trustee shall be required pursuant to Section 11.3 above.

         The Owner Trustee hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee for the purpose

         Each separate trustee and co-owner trustee shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provision and
conditions:

                           (i) all rights, powers, duties and obligations
         conferred or imposed upon the Owner Trustee shall be conferred upon and
         exercised or performed by the Owner Trustee and such separate owner
         trustee or co-owner trustee jointly (it being understood that such
         separate owner trustee or co-owner trustee is not authorized to act
         separately without the Owner 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 Owner 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-owner trustee but solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;

                           (ii)no owner trustee under this Agreement shall be
         personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other owner
         trustee under this Agreement; and

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

         Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall
be deemed to have been given to the separate trustees and co-owner trustees, as
if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any separate owner trustee
or co-owner trustee, other than this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement
and to the conditions of this Article XI. Each separate trustee and co-owner
trustee, upon its acceptance of appointment, shall be vested with the estates
specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Owner
Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions
of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement
relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection
to, the Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner
Trustee.

         Any separate trustee or co-owner trustee may at any time appoint the
Owner Trustee as its agent or attorney-in-fact with full power and authority, to
the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of
this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any owner trustee or co-owner
trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its

                                      35

<PAGE>

estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be
exercised by the Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the
appointment of a new or successor trustee.

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

by the Depositor, the Seller and the Owner Trustee with prior written notice to
the Rating Agencies and the Indenture Trustee and with the consent of the
Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but without the
consent of any of the Noteholders, the Transferor or the Indenture Trustee, to
cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions in this Agreement or
for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
eliminating any of the provisions in this Agreement or of modifying in any
manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Transferor; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
such action shall not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Noteholder, the Transferor or the Insurer. An amendment described above
shall be deemed not to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Noteholder, the Transferor or the Insurer if either (i) an Opinion of
Counsel is obtained to such effect, or (ii) the party requesting the amendment
satisfies the Rating Agency Condition with respect to such amendment.

         This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Seller and
the Owner Trustee, with the prior written consent of the Rating Agencies, the
Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders affected thereby evidencing more
than 50% of the Percentage Interests of each Class of Notes affected thereby,
and the Transferor, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in
any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the Noteholders or the Transferor;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that no such amendment shall (a) increase or reduce in any
manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on the Home Equity Loans or distributions that shall be required to be
made for the benefit of the Noteholders or the Transferor or (b) reduce the
aforesaid Percentage Interests required to consent to any such amendment,
without the consent of the holders of all the outstanding Notes. The Depositor
shall join in any such amendment approved as provided in the preceding sentence
so long as such amendment is not adverse to the interests of the Depositor.

         Before the execution of any such amendment, the Owner Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to the Indenture
Trustee, the Insurer and each of the Rating Agencies.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of the Transferor, the
Noteholders or the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 12.1 to approve
the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if
such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such
consents (and any other consents of the Transferor provided for in this
Agreement or in any other Transaction Document) and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by the Transferor and the Noteholders
shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Owner Trustee may
prescribe.

         Promptly after the execution of any amendment to the Certificate of
Trust, the Owner Trustee shall cause the filing of such amendment with the
Secretary of State.

Certificate of Trust, the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive and rely
upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such amendment is
authorized or permitted by this Agreement and that all conditions precedent to
such execution and delivery have been satisfied. The Owner Trustee may, but
shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects the Owner
Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

herein. No transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, of any right, title, or
interest of the Transferor to and in its Transferor Interest shall operate to
terminate this Agreement or the trusts hereunder or entitle any transferee to an
accounting or to the transfer to it of legal title to any part of the Owner
Trust Estate.
