qualification has been made upon such Servicer by any state, and, in any event

terms of this Agreement) and has received no notice of proceedings relating to
the revocation of any such license, certificate or permit which singly or in the
aggregate, if the subject of an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding, would

enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement

other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and
(ii) by general equity principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law);

         (d) Neither the execution and delivery by such Servicer of this
Agreement, the consummation by such Servicer of the transactions contemplated
hereby, nor the fulfillment of or compliance by such Servicer with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement will conflict with or result in a breach of any of
the terms, conditions or provisions of such Servicer's organizational documents
or bylaws or any legal restriction or any material agreement or instrument to
which such Servicer is now a party or by which it is bound, or constitute a
default or result in an acceleration under any of the foregoing, or result in

covenants contained in this Agreement;

accordance with the terms hereof or which would have a material adverse effect
on the business, assets, results of operations or condition (financial or
otherwise) of such Servicer;

fact or omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements relating
to such Servicer contained therein not misleading; and

hereunder.

                  arbitration board, or the promulgation of any proceeding or
                  any proposed or final rule which, if adversely determined,

Noteholders, the Rating Agency and the Supervisory Servicer in writing of any
event, circumstance or occurrence which may materially and adversely affect the
ability of such Servicer to service any Loan or to otherwise perform and carry
out its duties, responsibilities and obligations under and in accordance with
this Agreement.

         SECTION 2.3 CLOSING CERTIFICATE AND OPINION. On the Closing Date, such
Servicer will deliver to the Issuer, the Placement Agent, the Supervisory
Servicer, the Noteholders and the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel, dated the
Closing Date, in form and substance satisfactory to the Noteholders, as to the
due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by such Servicer and
the enforceability thereof and such other matters as reasonably requested by the
Noteholders. On the Closing Date, such Servicer shall also deliver an Officers'
Certificate, dated the Closing Date, signed by two Authorized Officers, to the
effect that:

                  (a) the representations and warranties contained in Section
         2.1 hereof are true and correct in all material respects as of the
         Closing Date;

                  (b) no Servicer Default exists hereunder; and

                  (c) such Servicer maintains such errors and omissions
         insurance and fidelity bond coverage as is required by this Agreement.

         SECTION 2.4 FIDELITY BOND AND INSURANCE. Such Servicer shall maintain
with a responsible company, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond in a
minimum amount of $1,000,000 and an errors and omissions insurance policy with
coverage in an amount deemed reasonable by such Servicer with coverage on all
officers, employees or other persons acting in any capacity requiring such
persons to handle funds, money, documents or papers relating to the Loans
("Servicer Employees"). Any such fidelity bond and errors and omissions
insurance shall protect and insure the Trust Estate and the Trustee, as Trustee
for the Noteholders, its officers, employees and agents against losses,
including losses resulting from forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and
omissions and negligent acts of such Servicer Employees. No

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 5
<PAGE>   10

provision of this Section 2.4 requiring such fidelity bond and errors and
omissions insurance shall diminish or relieve such Servicer from its duties and
obligations as set forth in this Agreement. Upon the request of the Trustee, the
Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the Trustee a certified true copy of
such fidelity bond and insurance policy. Coverage of such Servicer under a
policy or bond obtained by an Affiliate of such Servicer and providing the
coverage required by this Section shall satisfy the requirements of this
Section.

         SECTION 2.5 ACCESS TO CERTAIN DOCUMENTATION AND INFORMATION REGARDING
THE LOANS. Such Servicer shall provide to the Trustee, the Issuer, the
Supervisory Servicer, the Noteholders and their representatives or designees
access to the documentation regarding the Loans, such access being afforded
without charge but only upon reasonable request and during normal business hours
at the offices of such Servicer provided that such access shall not be requested
more frequently than is reasonable or justifiable; provided, further, however,
following the occurrence and during the continuance of a Servicer Default, the
Trustee, the Issuer, the Supervisory Servicer and the Noteholders shall have
unfettered access to the documentation relating to the Loans.

         Such Servicer shall at all times maintain accurate records and books of
account and an adequate system of audit and internal controls. All accounting
and loan servicing records pertaining to each Loan shall be maintained in such
manner as will permit the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Supervisory Servicer
or their duly authorized representatives and designees to examine and audit and
make legible reproductions of records during reasonable business hours. All such
records shall be maintained until no Notes remain Outstanding or such longer
period as is required by Law, including but not limited to, all transaction
registers and loan ledger histories.

         SECTION 2.6 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION. Such Servicer will keep in full
effect its existence, rights and franchises, 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
Agreement or any of the Loans it services and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.

         Any Person into which such Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which such
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of such
Servicer, shall be an established mortgage loan servicing institution that has a
net worth of at least $50,000,000 (unless such Person is then a Servicer
hereunder or is otherwise consented to in writing by the Trustee and the
Required Noteholders) and shall be the successor of such Servicer hereunder,
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties hereto except for notice thereof to the Rating Agency,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, provided such successor accepts
the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Such Servicer shall, upon making a
determination that it will enter into any such merger or consolidation, send
written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Noteholders, the Supervisory Servicer
and the Rating Agency which shall in no event be less than thirty (30) days
prior written notice.

         SECTION 2.7 INDEMNIFICATION. Such Servicer agrees to indemnify and hold
the Issuer, the Trust Estate, the Placement Agent, the Supervisory Servicer, the
Trustee and the Noteholders

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 6
<PAGE>   11

(and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) each
harmless against any and all claims, losses, damages, penalties, fines,
forfeitures, reasonable legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs
and expenses ("Losses") resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion
based on or grounded upon, or resulting from, a breach of any of such Servicer's
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or the negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct of such Servicer relating to the performance of
its duties hereunder and servicing the Loans it is responsible for servicing in
compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Such Servicer agrees to indemnify
and hold each of the Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer and each of their
respective officers, directors, employees and agents harmless against any and
all Losses incurred by such indemnified Person except for such actions to the
extent caused by any negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct on the part of
such indemnified Person, arising out of the administration of this Agreement,
the Indenture or the Supervisory Servicing Agreement or the exercise or
performance of any of such indemnified Person's rights, powers or duties
hereunder or thereunder. The Issuer, the Placement Agent, the Supervisory
Servicer or the Trustee, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the
Servicers if a claim is made by a third party with respect to this Agreement or
the Loans; provided, however, that failure to so notify shall not relieve the
applicable Servicer of its obligations hereunder except to the extent such
Servicer is materially prejudiced thereby. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein, no Person acting as Servicer hereunder shall have any
liability under this Section 2.7 for the indemnification of any claim based upon
or arising from the action or omission of any predecessor Servicer.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                  GENERAL ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF LOANS

         SECTION 3.1 GENERAL DUTIES OF THE SERVICERS. (a) For and on behalf of
the Issuer, the Trustee and the Holders, each Servicer shall service and
administer the Loans it is responsible for servicing in accordance with the
provisions of this Agreement and the instructions of the Trustee hereunder.
Unless otherwise specified herein with respect to specific obligations of such
Servicer, such Servicer shall service and administer the Loans it is responsible
for servicing in the best interests of, and for the benefit of, the Holders, in
accordance with the Servicing Standard.

         (b) Consistent with the terms of this Agreement, the Servicers may
waive, modify or vary any term of any Loan or consent to the postponement of
strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to any
Obligor if, in such Servicer's reasonable determination, such waiver,
modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the
interests of the Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders and such Servicer would
make the same determination if it serviced the Loan for its own account;
provided, however, that such Servicer may not permit any modification (except in
connection with a plan of liquidation or reorganization of the related Obligor)
with respect to any Loan that would change the Loan Rate or the default rate,
forgive the payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the
liquidation of the related Loan or in connection with a plan of liquidation or
reorganization of the related Obligor), except as permitted by Section 3.6,
waive any prepayment fee or penalty, release any primary collateral (the first
lien Mortgage) securing the Loan or defer or extend the final maturity date of
such Loan beyond the term of the Notes without the written consent of all

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 7
<PAGE>   12

of the Noteholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing in the event that any Loan is
in default, or in the judgment of the Servicer, such default is reasonably
foreseeable, such Servicer, consistent with the Servicing Standard and written
notice to the Trustee, may also waive, modify or vary any term of such Loan
(including modifications that would change the Loan Rate or the default rate,
forgive the payment of any principal or interest, waive any prepayment fee or
penalty, release any primary collateral securing the Loan or defer or extend the
final maturity date of such Loan beyond the term of the Notes). Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, and subject to the consent of the Trustee and
in accordance with the Servicing Standard, such Servicer shall continue, and is
hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on behalf of the
Trustee, all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Loans it services and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. If reasonably
required by such Servicer, the Trustee shall furnish such Servicer with any
powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable such
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties under this
Agreement.

         SECTION 3.2 NO ASSIGNMENT OR DELEGATION OF DUTIES BY SERVICERS. Each
Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Loans
for which it is responsible for servicing and shall have full power and
authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in connection with such
servicing and administration which such Servicer may deem necessary or desirable
and consistent with the terms of this Agreement. Such Servicer may not enter
into subservicing agreements (except with the other Servicer or an Affiliate)
for any servicing and administration of Loans without the prior written consent
of the Required Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)
and without notice thereof to the Rating Agency and the Trustee. Except as
expressly provided herein, such Servicer shall not assign or transfer (except to
the other Servicer or an Affiliate) any of its rights, benefits or privileges
hereunder to any other Person, or delegate to or subcontract with, or authorize
or appoint any other Person to perform any of the duties, covenants or
obligations to be performed by such Servicer hereunder, without notice to the
Rating Agency and the Trustee and without the prior written consent of the
Required Noteholders (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and
absent such written consent any agreement, instrument or act purporting to
effect any such assignment, transfer, delegation or appointment shall be void.
Such Servicer shall be liable for all acts and omissions of any delegate,
subcontractor or other agent appointed pursuant to this Agreement. Nothing
contained in this Section 3.2 shall prohibit or be deemed to prohibit such
Servicer from contracting with third parties to perform duties that are not
duties of such Servicer hereunder that such Servicer deems reasonably necessary
in connection with the servicing of the Loans for which it is responsible for
servicing including, without limitation, title work, surveying, environmental
consulting, property management and maintenance, construction, engineering and
architectural consulting.

         SECTION 3.3 ESTABLISHMENT OF LOCKBOX ACCOUNT; NOTICES TO OBLIGORS;
DEPOSITS IN LOCKBOX ACCOUNT. (a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Servicers
shall cause to be established and maintained, at the Servicers' expense, if the
Servicers are PMC and/or PMCT, if not, then at the expense of the Trust Estate,
the Lockbox Account with Bank One, N.A. or another Financial Institution having
a long-term unsecured debt rating of at least A2 or its equivalent by the Rating
Agency at all times that it holds the Lockbox Account (the "Required Rating").
The creation of the Lockbox Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement
substantially in the form of Exhibit B hereto. A copy of such executed letter
agreement shall be

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 8
<PAGE>   13

furnished to each Servicer, the Placement Agent, the Supervisory Servicer, the
Noteholders and the Rating Agency.

         (b) Within three (3) Business Days after the Closing Date, each
Servicer will prepare and deliver to each of the Obligors with respect to the
Loans for which it is responsible for servicing, with a copy of such
correspondence to the Trustee and to the Noteholders, notices in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit C, directing each such Obligor to send all future
Monthly Payments or Principal Prepayments directly to the Lockbox Account.

         (c) Notwithstanding the foregoing notices, if such Servicer receives
any Collections, including, without limitation, any Monthly Payments, late
payment charges or other payments relating to a Loan, such Servicer will receive
such funds in trust for the Trustee and, if such Servicer is not a financial
institution having a rating of at least "P-1" or its equivalent by the Rating
Agency, will forward such funds to the Lockbox Account no later than the
Business Day immediately following the date such Servicer obtains knowledge of
such receipt. In addition, any Liquidation Proceeds received by such Servicer
will be deposited into the Lockbox Account no later than the Business Day
immediately following the day such Servicer obtains knowledge of such receipt.

         (d) If the Supervisory Servicer assumes the function of Servicer under
this Agreement, the Supervisory Servicer shall have the right, at any time and
in its sole discretion, to establish and maintain at the expense of the Trust
Estate, a new Lockbox Account at a Financial Institution having the Required
Rating. Such Lockbox Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement furnished
to the Noteholders and the Rating Agency within (5) Business Days after the new
Lockbox Account is established. Within five (5) Business Days of establishing
the new Lockbox Account, the Supervisory Servicer will prepare and deliver to
each of the Obligors, with copies of such correspondence to the Trustee and to
the Noteholders, notice in the form of Exhibit C attached hereto, directing each
such Obligor to send all future Monthly Payments directly to the Lockbox
Account.

         (e) Upon receipt of notice that the institution holding the Lockbox
Account no longer has the Required Rating or that Bank One, N.A. no longer
wishes to hold the Lockbox Account, the Servicers will, within three (3)
Business Days, establish and maintain, at their expense if the Servicers are PMC
and/or PMCT, or if not, at the expense of the Trust Estate, a new Lockbox
Account at a Financial Institution having the Required Rating. Such Lockbox
Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement substantially in the form of
Exhibit B hereto. A copy of the executed letter agreement shall be furnished to
the Servicers, the Noteholders, the Supervisory Servicer and the Rating Agency
within five (5) Business Days after the new Lockbox Account is established.
Within five (5) Business Days of establishing the new Lockbox Account, each
Servicer will prepare and deliver to each of the Obligors with respect to the
Loans for which it is responsible for servicing, with copies of such
correspondence to the Trustee and to the Noteholders, notices in the form of
Exhibit C attached hereto, directing each such Obligor to send all future
Monthly Payments directly to the Lockbox Account.

         SECTION 3.4 PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM THE LOCKBOX ACCOUNT. The
Servicers shall have the sole right to withdraw funds from the Lockbox Account
and shall, on a daily basis, withdraw all deposits to the Lockbox Account and
transfer such funds to the Collection Account

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 9
<PAGE>   14

established under the Indenture. The Trustee shall cause the entity holding the
Lockbox Account to forward funds held therein as provided herein.

         SECTION 3.5 PAYMENT OF TAXES AND OTHER CHARGES. If such Servicer
receives notice that any taxes, assessments or other charges which are or may
become a lien upon the Mortgaged Property are overdue, such Servicer will give a
written demand to the Obligor to pay such amounts and will verify whether such
payment has been made within sixty (60) days after mailing such notice (but in
any event prior to the time that any taxing authority commences to exercise its
available remedies), subject to any right, pursuant to the Mortgage, of an
Obligor who is contesting the validity of such charges and has paid to such
Servicer a deposit or security in the amount of the contested charge plus
possible costs, interest and penalties or who has otherwise established adequate
reserves against such liability in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles; provided, further, however, that this provision shall not have the
effect of permitting such Servicer to take, or fail to take, any action in
respect of the payments described herein that would adversely affect the
interest of the Trustee in any Mortgaged Property. If such amounts have not been
paid by the Obligor or the Obligor has not deposited or reserved funds therefor
as described in the immediately preceding sentence, such Servicer will promptly
make such payment as a Servicing Expense and request reimbursement from the
Obligor, and from the Trustee in accordance with Section 3.8 hereof.

         SECTION 3.6 COLLECTION OF CERTAIN LOAN PAYMENTS. Such Servicer shall
make commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
collect all payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Loans.
Consistent with the foregoing, such Servicer shall not, unless the charging or
collection of any such late payment charge, prepayment fee, assumption fee or
any penalty or interest would result in the violation or contravention of
applicable Law, waive or permit to be waived, except pursuant to such Servicer's
customary servicing procedures, any late payment charge or assumption fee. Such
Servicer shall not, unless the charging or collection of any such prepayment fee
or penalty would result in the violation or contravention of applicable Law,
waive or permit to be waived any prepayment fee or any penalty or interest in
connection with the prepayment of a Loan; provided, however, at any time on or
after the date on which the Outstanding Note Amount is less than 15% of the
Outstanding Note Amount on the Closing Date, such Servicer shall have the right,
in its sole discretion, to waive the payment of any prepayment fee or other
penalty or interest in connection with the prepayment of a Loan. Notwithstanding
any other provisions hereof, such Servicer shall not charge or impose on any
Obligor, nor seek to charge or impose on any Obligor, nor assert a right to
receive, any fee, charge, premium or penalty that if charged or collected would
violate or contravene any Law, including usury laws or the terms of the related
Loan.

         SECTION 3.7 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF SERVICERS' OFFICERS AND OTHERS.
No director, officer, employee or agent of such Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Trustee, the Issuer, the Supervisory Servicer, the Holders or
any other persons for any action taken by them or for their refraining to take
any action in good faith pursuant to this Agreement or for errors in judgment;
except that such provision shall not protect any of them from liability which
would be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, willful misconduct, bad faith
or negligence.

         SECTION 3.8 SERVICING COMPENSATION; ADVANCES AND EXPENSES. (a) As
compensation for its services hereunder, each Servicer shall be paid the
Servicing Fee with respect to the Loans

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 10
<PAGE>   15

for which it is responsible for servicing. Such Servicer shall be required to
pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with its servicing activities
hereunder and shall be entitled to reimbursement thereof as described below. The
Servicing Fee shall be paid to such Servicer and Servicing Expenses reimbursed
to such Servicer pursuant to Section 6.4 of the Indenture.

         (b) All reasonable and customary "out-of-pocket" costs and expenses
incurred in the performance by such Servicer of its servicing obligations
hereunder ("Servicing Expenses") shall constitute routine servicing
responsibilities of such Servicer, which shall include, but are not limited to,
expenditures for the following, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, (i)
attorneys' fees, trustee fees under any deed of trust, recording, filing and
publication fees, title report and title search costs, costs associated with
environmental audits, court costs, witness fees and all other costs incurred in
respect of any enforcement of a Loan, any judicial foreclosure, or any
foreclosure sale, trustee's sale or acquisition in lieu of foreclosure, or in
respect of the insurance, sale or other disposition of any Mortgaged Property or
REO Property; (ii) repair, restoration, maintenance or other protection of any
Mortgaged Property (whether incurred before or after such property became an REO
Property) in accordance with and subject to the provisions of this Agreement, as
applicable; and (iii) compliance with such Servicer's obligations under Section
3.5 hereof. Servicing Expenses shall not include any portion of such Servicer's
overhead or normal salary and operating expenses.

         SECTION 3.9 THE TRUSTEE'S, THE NOTEHOLDERS' AND SUPERVISORY SERVICER'S
RIGHT TO EXAMINE SERVICER RECORDS AND AUDIT OPERATIONS. The Trustee, the
Noteholders and the Supervisory Servicer and their designees shall have the
right upon reasonable prior notice, during normal business hours and as often as
reasonably required, to examine and audit (at no cost to such Servicer unless a
Servicer Default has occurred and is then continuing) any and all of the books,
records or other information of such Servicer directly relating to the Loans,
whether held by such Servicer or by another on behalf of such Servicer, which
may be relevant to the performance or observance by such Servicer of the terms,
covenants or conditions of this Agreement. The Trustee, the Noteholders and the
Supervisory Servicer shall have the right upon reasonable prior notice, during
normal business hours and as often as reasonably required to perform ongoing
diligence of such Servicer's operations through loan reviews, re-appraisals (at
no cost to such Servicer) or other reasonable review of such Servicer's
operations. No amounts payable in respect of the foregoing (other than costs
associated with re-appraisals) shall be paid from the Trust Estate unless a
Servicer Default exists and is then continuing.

         SECTION 3.10 MAINTENANCE AND RELEASE OF LOAN DOCUMENTATION;
SATISFACTION OF MORTGAGES. (a) Each Servicer shall retain, with respect to each
Loan for which it is responsible for servicing, the originals (or copies if
originals are not available) of all of the instruments and documents relating to
the Loan that would be maintained by a prudent lender servicing such Loan for
its own account (the "Servicer Loan File"), except for those original
instruments and documents constituting a part of the Trustee Loan File that are
required to be held by the Trustee.

         Each Servicer Loan File shall remain the property of the Issuer pledged
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders and shall be held by such Servicer
in trust for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders. Upon written
request of the Trustee, such Servicer shall immediately deliver all or any of
such instruments, records and documents in its possession or custody to the
Trustee, together with a list identifying each Loan to which such records
pertain. Each Servicer,

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 11
<PAGE>   16

at its option, may microfilm, microfiche or otherwise condense any records or
documents constituting a part of, or relating to, any Loan or any Servicer Loan
File for which it is responsible, provided that such Servicer, upon written
request by the Trustee, promptly reproduces in their entirety any or all such
records or documents at no cost to the Trustee.

         (b) Such Servicer shall maintain each Servicer Loan File for a period
of four (4) years after the related Loan has been paid in full, is foreclosed
upon or is otherwise liquidated, or such longer period as may be required by
Law. Such Servicer shall maintain an appropriate account record for each Loan
which shall include the permanent loan number for each Loan serviced by such
Servicer as shown on the Loan Schedule. Any system utilized for the Loan account
records shall be capable of producing, for any Loan, an account transcript
itemizing in chronological order the date, amount and application of each
Monthly Payment by due date and other information affecting the amounts paid by
the Obligor, including the latest outstanding Loan Principal Balance.

         (c) Such Servicer shall not grant a satisfaction or release of a
Mortgage without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by
the Mortgage or otherwise prejudice any right the Trustee may have under the
mortgage instruments, subject to Section 4.1 hereof. Upon the prepayment in full
or other liquidation of a Loan, such Servicer shall immediately deposit the
prepayment or Liquidation Proceeds in the Lockbox Account or the Collection
Account and prepare and deliver to the Trustee and Supervisory Servicer a
request for the appropriate instrument releasing the Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage, together with an Officer's Certificate (i) certifying that
(A) all amounts that the Obligor is obligated to pay under the Underlying Note,
the Mortgage and any other document pertaining to the Loan, including, but not
limited to, all required payments of principal and interest, have been paid in
full and deposited in the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account; or (B) all
Liquidation Proceeds that such Servicer reasonably believes will be collected
with respect to a Liquidated Loan have been collected and deposited in the
Lockbox Account or the Collection Account; and (ii) requesting that (X) the
Trustee Loan File for such Loan be released by the Trustee to such Servicer and
(Y) the Trustee execute and deliver to such Servicer the appropriate instrument
prepared by such Servicer necessary to release the lien of the Mortgage,
together with the Underlying Note bearing written evidence of cancellation or
assignment thereof, as appropriate.

         The Trustee shall, upon receipt of a written request from a Servicing
Officer and approval of the Supervisory Servicer, execute any document provided
to the Trustee by such Servicer or take any other action requested in such
request, that is, in the opinion of such Servicer as evidenced by such request,
required by any state or other jurisdiction to discharge the lien of a Mortgage
upon the satisfaction thereof and the Trustee will sign and post, but will not
guarantee receipt of, any such documents to such Servicer, or such other party
as such Servicer may direct in writing, within five (5) Business Days of the
Trustee's receipt of such certificate or documents. Such certificate or
documents shall establish to the Trustee's satisfaction that the related Loan
has been paid in full by or on behalf of the Obligor and that such payment has
been deposited in the Lockbox Account or the Collection Account, as the case may
be.

         Upon receipt of the Trustee Loan File, such Servicer shall record the
mortgage release or satisfaction in the proper recording office, deliver the
Underlying Note and/or the recorded original of such instrument of release or
satisfaction to the Obligor, deposit any remaining

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 12
<PAGE>   17

documents into the Servicer Loan File, and retain the Servicer Loan File as
provided in section (a) and (b) above. Any costs and expenses associated with
the release of any Loan shall be the expense of the Trust Estate to the extent
not paid by the applicable Obligor.

         Any applications for partial release of any part of a Mortgaged
Property must be approved in the manner set forth in Section 3.12 hereof.

         (d) From time to time as is appropriate, such Servicer may request the
Trustee to deliver or cause to be delivered to such Servicer all or part of the
documents constituting a part of the Trustee Loan File to facilitate the
servicing or foreclosure of any Loan, the acquisition of any Mortgaged Property
in lieu of foreclosure, the partial release of any Mortgaged Property from the
lien of the Mortgage or the making of any corrections to the Underlying Note or
the Mortgage or other documents constituting the Trustee Loan File. To make such
request, such Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate
requesting that possession of all, or any document constituting part of, the
Trustee Loan File be released to such Servicer; such certificate shall certify
the reason for such release. Such Servicer also shall deliver to the Trustee
together with such certificate a Trust Receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, in
substantially the form attached as Exhibit A hereto.

         If such Servicer at any time seeks to initiate a foreclosure proceeding
with respect to any Mortgaged Property, then such Servicer shall deliver to the
Trustee, for signature by the Trustee, as appropriate, any court pleadings,
requests for Trustee's sale or other documents necessary to the foreclosure or
to any legal action brought to obtain judgment against the Obligor on the
Underlying Note or the Mortgage, or to obtain a deficiency judgment, or to
enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Underlying Note or the
Mortgage or otherwise available at law or in equity. Such Servicer shall also
deliver to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate requesting that such pleadings
or documents be executed by the Trustee and certifying as to the reason such
documents or pleadings are required and that the execution and delivery thereof
by the Trustee will not invalidate the Mortgage except for the termination of
such lien upon completion of the proposed foreclosure. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, such Servicer shall cause possession of any Trustee Loan File or
documents therein that have been released by the Trustee to be returned to the
Trustee when the need for such file or documents no longer exists, but in any
event within thirty (30) calendar days after release by the Trustee unless (i)
the Loan has been liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan
have been deposited in the Collection Account or (ii) the Trustee Loan File or
documents so released have been delivered to an attorney, a public trustee or
other public official, as required by Law, to initiate or pursue legal action or
other proceedings to foreclose the applicable Mortgage, and such Servicer has
delivered to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying as to the name and
address of the Person to which the Trustee Loan File, or documents therefrom,
have been delivered and the purpose or purposes of such delivery.

         (e) Such Servicer shall, at its expense if the Servicer is PMC or PMCT,
if not, at the expense of the Trust Estate, prepare and deliver to the Trustee
any instruments required in connection with the substitution of a Loan pursuant
to Section 3.3 of the Indenture and will pay any recording or filing costs
associated therewith.

         SECTION 3.11 NOTICE OF LIENS AND OTHER ACTIONS. Such Servicer shall, at
all times, exercise reasonable efforts to prevent any lien or judicial levy upon
or writ of attachment against

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 13
<PAGE>   18

a Mortgaged Property of which such Servicer is notified or otherwise has
knowledge, which is, or may be, superior to the lien of the Mortgage.

         SECTION 3.12 WAIVERS, RELEASES, CONDEMNATIONS, EASEMENTS AND
ALTERATIONS. Any applications for partial releases of real property and releases
of personal property which are part of a Mortgaged Property, the creation or
release of easements, waivers of rights under any Mortgage, consent to
alteration, removal or demolition of improvements and other matters affecting
the Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property, other than those which are contractually
provided for in the Underlying Note or related loan documents, shall be subject
to the prior written approval of the Trustee which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld and which shall be provided only upon written
certification by such Servicer that such action is consistent with the Servicing
Standard and the Mortgage and the ability to collect under the Underlying Note
will not be adversely affected by such release.

         SECTION 3.13 LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF SERVICERS AND OTHERS. Such
Servicer and any director, officer, employee or agent of such Servicer may rely
on any document of any kind which it in good faith reasonably believes to be
genuine and to have been adopted or signed by the proper authorities respecting
any matters arising hereunder. Subject to the terms of Section 2.7 herein, such
Servicer shall have no obligation to appear with respect to, prosecute or defend
any legal action which is not incidental to such Servicer's duty to service the
Loans in accordance with this Agreement. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold
such Servicer harmless from any loss, claim, demand, liability or expense
(including, without limitation, past acts of predecessor Servicers and fees and
expenses of legal counsel) arising from or relating to the performance of its
duties under this Agreement which do not result from such Servicer's negligence,
bad faith or willful misconduct.

         SECTION 3.14 PROPERTY ADDRESS CHANGE. Such Servicer shall note in its
records and notify the Trustee of all changes of address of an Obligor or of a
Mortgaged Property of which such Servicer is notified or of which such Servicer
has knowledge.

                                   ARTICLE 4
                          SPECIFIC SERVICING PROCEDURES

         SECTION 4.1 ASSUMPTION AGREEMENTS. When a Mortgaged Property has been
or is about to be conveyed by the Obligor, such Servicer shall, at its option,
to the extent it has knowledge of such conveyance or prospective conveyance,
either (i) exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Loan
under any "due-on-sale" clause contained in the related Mortgage or Underlying
Note; provided, however, that such Servicer shall not exercise any such right if
the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief of such Servicer, is not
enforceable under applicable law or if such enforcement would materially
increase the risk of default or delinquency on, or materially decrease the
security for, such Loan, or (ii) enter into an assumption and modification
agreement with the person to whom such property has been or is about to be
conveyed, pursuant to which such person becomes liable under the Underlying Note
and, unless prohibited by applicable law or the Mortgage, the Obligor shall
remain liable thereon. Such Servicer may enter into an assumption agreement with
the transferee only if (a) the transferee qualifies for credit under the
customary credit policies of such Servicer, (b) an officer of such Servicer has
examined and approved all instruments as are necessary to carry out

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 14
<PAGE>   19

the assumption transaction and approved such instruments as to form and
substance, (c) the execution and delivery of such instruments by all necessary
parties will not cause the unpaid principal balance and any accrued interest
thereon for the Loan to be uncollectible in whole or in part, and (d) upon
closing the assumption transaction (i) the Mortgage will continue to be a first
lien upon the Mortgaged Property, and (ii) the Loan Rate and Monthly Payment for
the Loan will not be changed nor will the term of the Note be extended or
shortened. For each proposed assumption transaction, such Servicer shall deliver
an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee certifying that each of the applicable
requirements specified in the immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied
together with the assumption instruments requiring execution by the Trustee.
Such certificate shall also indicate whether the seller/transferor of the
Mortgaged Property will be released from liability on the Loan and that such
Servicer has made a good faith determination that any such release will not
adversely affect the collectibility of the Loan. Such Servicer shall perform
substantially the same level of due diligence with respect to the transferee as
was performed on the seller/transferor in connection with the origination of the
Loan and shall release the seller/transferor from liability only if any
applicable Law requires that the transferor-Obligor be released from liability
on the Loan or such Servicer has made a good faith determination that the
applicable requirements set forth above have been satisfied.

         Such Servicer is also authorized with the prior approval of the Trustee
to enter into a substitution of liability agreement with such transferee,
pursuant to which the original Obligor is released from liability and such
person is substituted as Obligor and becomes liable under the Underlying Note.
Such Servicer shall notify the Trustee that any such substitution or assumption
agreement has been completed by forwarding to the Trustee the original of such
substitution or assumption agreement, which original shall be added by the
Trustee to the related Trustee's Loan File and shall, for all purposes, be
considered a part of such Trustee's Loan File to the same extent as all other
documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. Any fee collected by such
Servicer for consenting to any such conveyance or entering into an assumption or
substitution agreement shall be retained by or paid to such Servicer as
additional servicing compensation.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph or any other provision of this
Agreement, such Servicer shall not be deemed to be in default, breach or any
other violation of its obligations hereunder by reason of any assumption of a
Loan by operation of law or any assumption which such Servicer may be restricted
by law from preventing, for any reason whatsoever.

         SECTION 4.2 SERVICING DELINQUENT ACCOUNTS; LIQUIDATION OF LOANS. (a)
Each Servicer shall exercise diligence in obtaining payment of Monthly Payments
when due under the terms of each Loan for which it is responsible and shall use
commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to
contact any delinquent Obligor.

         If any delinquent Obligor shall be or become a bankrupt or otherwise
become the subject of any insolvency or similar proceeding, such Servicer shall
notify the Trustee of such event and, thereafter, shall carry out all reasonable
actions necessary for the benefit and protection of the interests of the Trustee
and the Holders, including, but not limited to, retention of counsel to
represent the Trustee in any bankruptcy or other court proceedings relating to
such Obligor or the Mortgaged Property.

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 15
<PAGE>   20

         If any Loan previously reported on a Determination Date Report as more
than ninety (90) days delinquent is subsequently reported as being brought
current, such Servicer will verify with the relevant Obligor that the Obligor
paid the delinquent payments, by sending the Obligor the letter in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit H.

         (b) In the event that any payment due under any Loan and not postponed
pursuant to Section 3.1 is not paid when the same becomes due and payable, or in
the event the Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under
such Loan and such failure continues beyond any applicable grace period, such
Servicer shall take such other action as it shall deem to be in the best
interests of the Trustee and the Holders. Such Servicer shall foreclose upon or
otherwise effect the ownership in the name of the Trustee of Mortgaged
Properties relating to defaulted Loans as to which no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments in accordance with the
customary collection policies of such Servicer and the provisions of Section
3.1. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, such Servicer
shall exercise collection and foreclosure procedures with the same degree of
care and skill in its exercise or use as it would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of its own affairs and shall in any event, comply
with the Servicing Standard. Such Servicer shall use its commercially reasonable
efforts consistent with the Servicing Standard to realize upon such defaulted
Loans in accordance with the Servicing Standard. Such Servicer shall be
responsible for all other costs and expenses incurred by it in any foreclosure
proceedings; provided, however, that it shall be entitled to reimbursement
thereof as contemplated in Sections 3.8 and 4.3 hereof.

         No modification, recast or extension of a Loan other than as provided
above and in Section 3.1 is permitted without the prior written consent of the
Trustee.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 4.2, such
Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Trustee, obtain title to a Mortgaged
Property by deed in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, or take any other action
with respect to any Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the
Trustee, on behalf of the Noteholders, could, in the reasonable judgment of such
Servicer, made in accordance with the Servicing Standard, be considered to hold
title to, to be a "mortgagee-in possession" of, or to be an "owner" or
"operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of CERCLA or any
comparable law, unless such Servicer has previously determined in accordance
with the Servicing Standard, based on a Phase I Environmental Assessment (and
any additional environmental testing that such Servicer deems necessary and
prudent) of such Mortgaged Property conducted by an Independent Person who
regularly conducts Phase I Environmental Assessments and performed during the
twelve-month period preceding any such acquisition of title or other action,
that the Mortgaged Property is in material compliance with applicable
environmental laws and regulations or, if not, that it would maximize the
recovery to the Noteholders on a present value basis to acquire title to or
possession of the Mortgaged Property and to effect such compliance.

         (c) If the environmental testing contemplated by Section 4.2(b) above
establishes that any of the conditions set forth therein have not been satisfied
with respect to any Mortgaged Property securing a defaulted Loan, such Servicer
shall, in accordance with the Servicing Standard, prepare a written report to
the Trustee and the Noteholders summarizing the

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 16
<PAGE>   21

environmental condition of the Mortgaged Property and proposing a course of
action to pursue with respect to such Mortgaged Property. The Servicer may not
undertake such proposed course of action without the prior written consent of
the Required Noteholders; provided, however, notwithstanding the foregoing, in
the event that such Servicer has not received through the Trustee the written
objection to such proposed course of action of the Required Noteholders within
forty-five (45) days of the Trustee's distributing such notice, such Servicer
shall be deemed to have been directed by the Noteholders to take such proposed
action.

         (d) Such Servicer shall report to the Trustee monthly in writing as to
any actions taken by such Servicer with respect to any Mortgaged Property as to
which the environmental testing contemplated in Section 4.2(b) above has
revealed that any of the conditions set forth have not been satisfied, in each
case until the earliest to occur of satisfaction of all such conditions and the
release of the Lien of the related Mortgage on such Mortgaged Property.

         (e) If foreclosure has been approved as provided above, such Servicer
shall initiate or cause to be initiated the foreclosure action according to such
procedures as are authorized by Law and the practices in the locality where the
Mortgaged Property is located. In the event that title to the Mortgaged Property
is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the Trustee for the benefit of
the Holders.

         (f) Such Servicer shall have the right to determine, in accordance with
the Servicing Standard, the advisability of seeking to obtain a deficiency
judgment if the state in which the Mortgaged Property is located and the terms
of the Loan permit such an action and shall, in accordance with the Servicing
Standard, seek such deficiency judgment if it deems advisable.

         (g) After a Loan has become a Liquidated Loan, such Servicer shall
promptly prepare and forward to the Trustee a liquidation report detailing the
Liquidation Proceeds received from the Liquidated Loan, expenses incurred with
respect thereto and any Realized Loss incurred in connection therewith.

         (h) If the requirements of Sections 4.2(b) and (c) hereof have been
satisfied, such Servicer may accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure, provided that
(i) marketable title as evidenced by a policy of title insurance can be conveyed
to and acquired by the Trustee or its designee; (ii) no cash consideration is to
be paid to the Obligor by the Trustee; and (iii) such Servicer has obtained from
the Obligor a written acknowledgment that the deed is being accepted as an
accommodation to the Obligor and on the condition that the Mortgaged Property
will be transferred to the Trustee or its designee free and clear of all claims,
liens, encumbrances, attachments, reservations or restrictions except for those
to which the Mortgaged Property was subject at the time the Mortgaged Property
became subject to the Mortgage. Title shall be conveyed directly from the
Obligor to the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders.

         (i) Such Servicer will indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the
Noteholders, the Supervisory Servicer and their respective directors, officers,
agents and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, losses,
penalties, liabilities, costs, damages, injuries and expenses, including,
without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, suffered or
sustained by such parties, either directly or indirectly, relating to or arising
out of the violation of an Environmental Law with respect to a Mortgaged
Property resulting from such Servicer's

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 17
<PAGE>   22

failure to perform its obligations hereunder, including without limitation any
expenses and other costs incurred in connection with the defense of any such
action, proceeding or claim. This obligation shall survive the termination of
this Agreement, the Indenture and the Supervisory Servicing Agreement or the
earlier resignation or removal of the Trustee or the Supervisory Servicer, as
the case may be.

         SECTION 4.3 FORECLOSURE EXPENSES. Such Servicer shall prepare a written
estimate of the amount of attorneys' fees, trustee's fees and other costs in
respect of any foreclosure or acquisition in lieu of foreclosure and shall send
copies of such estimate to the Trustee. Such Servicer shall arrange payment of
attorneys' fees, trustees' fees and other foreclosure costs at the commencement
of foreclosure proceedings.

         Such Servicer may reimburse itself for any Servicing Expenses paid by
such Servicer, made in connection with such Loan or such foreclosure or other
action, out of amounts received by such Servicer in connection with liquidation
of the Loan, prior to remittance of any such amounts to the Lockbox Account.

         SECTION 4.4 TITLE, MANAGEMENT AND DISPOSITION OF REO PROPERTY. (a) Upon
the acquisition of REO Property by such Servicer by foreclosure or conveyance in
lieu of foreclosure, such Servicer shall notify the Trustee promptly that the
REO Property has been acquired and shall thereafter: (i) deliver the deed or
certificate of sale to the Trustee, or its nominee; (ii) manage, conserve and
protect the REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary
in the locality where such REO Property is located including the rental of the
same, or any part thereof, as such Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Trustee for the benefit of the Holders; (iii) pay all costs such as taxes
and assessments relating to the REO Property; (iv) process any claims for
redemption and otherwise comply with any redemption procedures required by Law;
(v) sell or otherwise dispose of the REO Property and remit the proceeds to the
Trustee; and (vi) timely file any and all federal, state and local tax or
information returns or reports as are required as a result of the acquisition or
disposition of REO Property and perform any withholding required in connection
therewith. Such Servicer shall not acquire any REO Property relating to a
Charged-Off Loan that is required to be released from the lien of the Indenture
and disposed of by the Issuer on the next Payment Date. If any REO Property is
expected to be acquired, such Servicer shall inform the Issuer, the Noteholders
and the Trustee and the Issuer shall comply with Section 5.14 of the Indenture.

         Such Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO
Property for the Trustee solely for the purpose of its prudent and prompt
disposition and sale. Such Servicer shall, either itself or through an agent
selected by such Servicer, manage, conserve, protect and operate the REO
Property in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates
other foreclosed property for its own account and in the same manner that
similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. Such
Servicer shall attempt to sell the same (and may temporarily rent the same) on
such terms and conditions as such Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Holders.

         (b) Until the REO Property is disposed of, such Servicer shall (i) take
appropriate action to secure the REO Property and maintain proper surveillance
over it; (ii) advance all costs such as taxes and assessments; (iii) maintain
the REO Property so as to preserve its value and

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 18
<PAGE>   23

prevent any additional deferred maintenance; and (iv) submit monthly statements
for services to the Trustee, together with additional documentation including
statements of income and expenses (accompanied by copies of paid invoices for
every expense item).

         (c) Until the REO Property is disposed of, such Servicer shall maintain
for such REO Property, a standard hazard insurance policy providing fire and
extended coverage in an amount equal to the full replacement cost of all
improvements on the Mortgaged Property, which requirement may be satisfied by a
master force placed or blanket insurance policy insuring against hazard losses.
If the Mortgaged Property is in an area identified in the Federal Register by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards (and
such flood insurance has been made available) such Servicer shall maintain a
flood hazard insurance policy meeting the requirements of the current guidelines
of the Federal Insurance Administration with an insurance carrier generally
acceptable to commercial mortgage lending institutions for properties, similar
to the REO Property in an amount representing coverage not less than the lesser
of (i) the full insurable value of such REO Property, or (ii) the maximum amount
of insurance which is available under the Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973,
as amended from time to time. Such Servicer will also maintain comprehensive
general liability insurance and business interruption insurance (to the extent
applicable) in such amounts as are then customary for similarly situated
properties and businesses.

         (d) Such Servicer shall advance all funds necessary for the proper
operation, management, insurance and maintenance of the REO Property. On each
Determination Date Report, such Servicer shall schedule its reasonable expenses
with respect to any REO Property for the related Collection Period.

         (e) Such Servicer shall deposit all funds collected and received in
connection with the operation or disposition of any REO Property in the Lockbox
Account no later than the Business Day immediately following notice of receipt
of such funds, net of funds necessary for the proper operation, management,
insurance and maintenance of the REO Property.

         (f) If as of the date of disposition of any REO Property there remain
unpaid Servicing Fees with respect to the related Loan, such Servicer, shall be
entitled to payment for the unpaid Servicing Fees and reimbursement for the
unreimbursed related Servicing Expenses from proceeds received in connection
with the disposition prior to remittance of any proceeds to the Collection
Account.

         Disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by such Servicer at
such price and upon such terms and conditions as such Servicer, in its judgment,
believes to be in the best interests of the Holders, subject to and in
accordance with Section 4.2. Upon the sale of any Mortgaged Property, such
Servicer shall remit the net cash proceeds remaining after payment of expenses
of the sale to the Lockbox Account.

         (g) If any Charged-Off Loan is expected to be released from the lien of
the Indenture on the next Payment Date, such Servicer shall not commence a
foreclosure proceeding or accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure. Any
determination by such Servicer that a Loan is a Charged-Off Loan shall be made
in good faith.

         SECTION 5.4 ANNUAL INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS' SERVICING REPORT.
The Servicers at their expense shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish a statement to the Trustee,
the Supervisory Servicer, the Noteholders, and each Rating Agency on or before
May 1 of each year, commencing on May 1, 2002, to the effect that, with respect
to the most recently ended fiscal year, such firm has examined certain records
and documents relating to the Servicers' performance of their servicing
obligations and that, on the basis of such examination, conducted substantially
in compliance with the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers,
such firm is of the opinion that such servicing has been conducted substantially
in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of the standard
servicing procedures outlined in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for
Mortgage Bankers, except for such exceptions noted therein. In the event such
firm requires the Trustee or the Supervisory Servicer to agree to the procedures
performed by such firm, the Servicers shall direct the Trustee and the
Supervisory Servicer in writing to so agree; it being understood and agreed that
the Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer will deliver such letter of agreement
in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the Servicers, and each of the
Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer makes no independent inquiry or
investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or liability in respect of,
the sufficiency, validity or correctness of such procedures.

         SECTION 5.5 SERVICERS' FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; ANNUAL CERTIFICATION.
Within one hundred twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year beginning
with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001, each Servicer shall submit to the
Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating Agency a copy of its annual audited
financial statements or in the event the Servicers are not PMC and/or PMCT, a
copy of the annual audited consolidated financial statement of its parent.
Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each of the first three (3) fiscal
quarters of each fiscal year beginning with the quarter ending September 30,
2001, each Servicer shall submit to the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Rating
Agency a copy of its quarterly financial statements. This Section 5.5
notwithstanding, if the Supervisory Servicer assumes the role of Servicer, it
shall not be obligated to submit copies of its quarterly financial statements.
Such financial statements shall, to the extent required by the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether or not the Servicer is subject to such
Act, include a balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings,
beneficiaries' (or shareholders') equity, statement of cash flows and all
related notes and schedules and shall be in comparative form.

         Contemporaneously with the submission of the financial statements
required by the preceding paragraph, the Servicers shall deliver to the Trustee,
the Noteholders and the Rating Agency an Officer's Certificate in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G to the effect that:

         (a) such officer has confirmed that the Fidelity Bond, the Errors and
Omissions Insurance Policy and any other bonds or insurance required by Section
2.4 hereof are in full force and effect; and

         (b) the representations and warranties of such Servicer set forth in
Section 2.1 are true and correct in all material respects as if made on the date
of such certification.

         Such Servicer shall also furnish and certify such other information as
to its organization, activities and personnel as the Trustee, the Noteholders
the Rating Agency or the Supervisory Servicer may reasonably request from time
to time.

                                    DEFAULTS

         SECTION 6.1 SERVICER DEFAULTS. The happening of any one or more of the
following events shall constitute a Servicer Default hereunder:

         (a) Any failure by either Servicer to make any payment, deposit,
advance or transfer of funds required to be paid, deposited, advanced or
transferred under the terms of this Agreement, and such failure continues
unremedied for five (5) days after discovery by such Servicer of such failure or
receipt by such Servicer of notice of such failure;

         (b) Failure on the part of either Servicer duly to observe or perform
in any material respect any of its respective covenants or agreements contained
in this Agreement or the Supervisory Servicing Agreement which continues
unremedied for thirty (30) days after the earlier to occur of the Servicer
obtaining actual knowledge of such failure or the Servicer's receipt of written
notice of such failure or breach as the case may be; provided, however, if such
failure shall be of a nature that it cannot be cured within thirty (30) days,
such failure shall not constitute a Servicer Default hereunder if within such
30-day period the Servicer gives notice to the Trustee and the Supervisory
Servicer of the corrective action it proposes to take, which corrective action
is agreed in writing by the Trustee to be satisfactory and the Servicer shall
thereafter pursue such corrective action diligently until such default is cured
but in no event longer than ninety (90) days after such notice is given;

         (c) A decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority
having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against a
Servicer, and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or
unstayed for a period of ninety (90) days;

         (d) A Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to
such Servicer or of or relating to all or substantially all of its property;

         (e) A Servicer 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, bankruptcy or reorganization statute, make an assignment
for the benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payments of its
obligations;

         (f) A Servicer shall cease to be an Eligible Servicer;

         (g) A material adverse change occurs in the financial condition of a
Servicer, which change materially impairs the ability of the Servicer to perform
its obligations under this Agreement; or

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 24
<PAGE>   29

         (h) Any representation or warranty made by a Servicer in any
Transaction Document proves to have been incorrect in any material respect when
made, which has a material adverse effect on the Noteholders and which continues
to have a material adverse effect or be incorrect in any material respect for a
period of thirty (30) days after written notice of such inaccuracy, requiring it
to be remedied, has been given to the Servicers by the Trustee, the Supervisory
Servicer or any Noteholder; provided, however, if such inaccuracy is of a nature
that it cannot be remedied within such 30-day period and the Servicer gives
notices to the Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer of the corrective action it
proposes to take, which corrective action is agreed in writing by the Trustee to
be satisfactory and the Servicer shall thereafter pursue such corrective action
diligently until such default is cured but in no event longer than ninety (90)
days from the date of such notice.

         SECTION 6.2 NOTICE OF SERVICER DEFAULT. In the case of a Servicer
Default referred to in Section 6.1 hereof or upon any termination of the
Servicers pursuant to Article VII hereof, the Trustee shall immediately notify
the Supervisory Servicer by telephone or telecopy (telephonic notice to be
followed by written notice within one Business Day) and shall promptly notify
the Rating Agency and the Holders in writing.

         SECTION 6.3 REMEDIES. So long as any such Servicer Default shall not
have been remedied within any applicable cure period, the Trustee may, and at
the written direction of the Required Holders shall, by notice in writing
specifying the termination date to the Servicers and the Supervisory Servicer
(and to the Trustee if given by the Holders), terminate all of the rights and
obligations of the Servicers under this Agreement and in and to the Loans and
the proceeds thereof. On or after the receipt by the Servicers of such written
notice, all authority and power shall pass to and be vested in the Supervisory
Servicer pursuant to and under this Section; and, without limitation, the
Supervisory Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver,
on behalf of the Servicers, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all
documents and other instruments, and to do or accomplish all other acts or
things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination, whether to complete the purposes of such notice of termination,
whether to complete the transfer and assignment of the Loans and related
documents or otherwise. All reasonable costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees) of the Trustee, the Supervisory Servicer or the
Servicers incurred in connection with such termination and transfer will be at
the expense of the Servicers. The Servicers agree to cooperate with the
Supervisory Servicer and the Trustee in effecting the termination of the
Servicers' responsibilities and rights hereunder, including, without limitation,
the transfer to the Supervisory Servicer for administration by it of any cash
amounts held by the Servicers or thereafter received relating to the Loans and
all Servicer Loan Files. In addition to any other amounts which are then, or,
notwithstanding the termination of their activities as Servicers, may become
payable to the Servicers under this Agreement, the applicable Servicer shall be
entitled to receive out of any delinquent payment on account of interest on a
Loan due during a Collection Period prior to the notice of termination received
pursuant to this Section 6.3 and received after such notice, that portion of
such payment which it would have received pursuant to Section 3.8 hereof if such
notice had not been given.

         SECTION 6.4 ADDITIONAL REMEDIES OF TRUSTEE UPON SERVICER DEFAULTS. Upon
any Servicer Default, the Trustee, in addition to the rights specified in
Section 6.3 hereof, shall have the right, in its own name and as Trustee, to
take all actions now or hereafter existing at law, in

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 25
<PAGE>   30

equity or by statute to enforce its rights and remedies and to protect the
interests, and enforce the rights and remedies, of the Noteholders (including
the institution and prosecution of all judicial, administrative and other
proceedings and the filings of proofs of claim and debt in connection
therewith). No remedy provided for by this Agreement shall be exclusive of any
other remedy, and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to
any other remedy and no delay or omission to exercise any right or remedy shall
impair any such right or remedy or shall be deemed to be a waiver of any
Servicer Default.

         SECTION 6.5 SUPERVISORY SERVICER TO ACT; APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR. On
the effective date of any resignation of the Servicers pursuant to Section 7.1
hereof or on the date the Servicers are removed as servicer pursuant to this
Article VI, the Supervisory Servicer (or any successor appointed by the
Supervisory Servicer pursuant to the Supervisory Servicing Agreement) hereof
shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicers in their capacity as
servicers under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Servicers by the terms and provisions hereof in
accordance with and subject to the terms and conditions of the Supervisory
Servicing Agreement; provided, however, that the Supervisory Servicer or
successor Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the
Servicers occurring prior to such succession or for any breach by the Servicers
of any of their representations or warranties contained herein or in any related
document or agreement. The Supervisory Servicer (or other successor) shall
assume all of the rights and obligations of the Servicers in accordance with the
terms and conditions of the Supervisory Servicing Agreement which shall control
over any provisions herein covering the same subject matter. The Servicers
shall, upon request of the Trustee or the Supervisory Servicer but at the
expense of the Servicers, deliver to the Supervisory Servicer (or other
successor), all Servicer Loan Files, documents and records (including computer
tapes and diskettes) relating to the Loans and an accounting of any amounts
collected and held by the Servicers and otherwise use their reasonable efforts
to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of servicing rights and obligations
to the assuming party.

         The Servicers agree to cooperate with the Trustee and the Supervisory
Servicer or any other successor servicer in effecting the termination of the
Servicers' servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly
provide the Supervisory Servicer or such successor servicer, as applicable, all
documents and records reasonably requested by it to enable it to assume the
Servicers' functions hereunder and shall promptly also transfer to the
Supervisory Servicer or such successor servicer, as applicable, all amounts
which then have been or should have been deposited in the Lockbox Account by the
Servicers or which are thereafter received with respect to the Loans. Neither
the Trustee, the Supervisory Servicer nor any other successor servicer shall be
held liable by reason of any failure to make, or any delay in making, any
distribution hereunder or any portion thereof caused by (i) the failure of the
Servicers to deliver, or any delay in delivering, cash, documents or records to
it, or (ii) restrictions imposed by any regulatory authority having jurisdiction
over the Servicers hereunder. The Supervisory Servicer shall provide written
notice of each appointment of a successor to the Servicers hereunder, other than
the Supervisory Servicer, to each Holder and the Rating Agency, and the Trustee.

         SECTION 6.6 WAIVER OF DEFAULTS. The Trustee (with the written consent
of the Required Noteholders and with notice to the Rating Agency) may, on behalf
of all Noteholders, waive any events permitting removal of the Servicers as
servicers pursuant to this Article VI.

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 26
<PAGE>   31

Upon any waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
Servicer Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent
or other default or impair any right consequent thereto except to the extent
expressly so waived.

                                   ARTICLE 7
                                   TERMINATION

         SECTION 7.1 SERVICERS NOT TO RESIGN. The Servicers shall not assign
this Agreement or resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on them
except by mutual consent of the Servicers and the Trustee (with the Required
Noteholders' consent), or upon the determination that the Servicers' duties
hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law and such incapacity
cannot be cured by the Servicers. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicers shall be evidenced by a Certificate of an
Authorized Officer of the Servicers to such effect delivered to the Trustee, the
Noteholders, the Supervisory Servicer and the Rating Agency. No such resignation
shall become effective until a successor has assumed the Servicers'
responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with Section 6.5.

         SECTION 7.2 TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall continue in
existence and effect until the earlier of (a) the later of the final payment or
other liquidation of the last Loan or the disposition of all property acquired
upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any Loan and the remittance
of all funds due thereunder, (b) the payment in full of the Notes in accordance
with the Indenture, in addition to all other amounts payable thereunder, and the
discharge of the Indenture in accordance with the terms thereof, or (c) mutual
consent of the Servicers, the Trustee, the Supervisory Servicer and all Holders
in writing.

                                   ARTICLE 8
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

         SECTION 8.1 AMENDMENT. This Agreement may be amended from time to time
by the Servicers, the Issuer and the Trustee (acting at the written direction of
the Required Noteholders) by written agreement, with thirty (30) days prior
written notice to the Rating Agency and with prior written notice to and consent
of the Supervisory Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may
be amended without the written direction of the Required Noteholders to modify
any provisions of this Agreement required by the Rating Agency to maintain the
rating of the Notes or to cure any ambiguity, defect, omission, conflict or
inconsistency in this Agreement or between the terms of this Agreement and any
other document executed or delivered in connection herewith. This Agreement may
also be amended without the written direction of the Required Noteholders, so
long as such amendment does not materially adversely affect the rights of the
Noteholders.

         SECTION 8.2 GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF TEXAS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND

case, any such communication shall be effective upon telecopy against receipt of
answer back or written confirmation thereof.

         SECTION 8.4 SEVERABILITY OF PROVISIONS. If any one or more of the
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Agreement shall be held
invalid for any reason whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions
or terms shall be deemed severable from the remaining covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Agreement and shall in no way affect the validity or
enforceability of the other covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this
Agreement. The parties hereto further agree that the holding by any court of
competent jurisdiction that any remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is
unavailable or unenforceable shall not affect in any way the ability of the
Trustee to pursue any other remedy available to it.

         SECTION 8.5 NO PARTNERSHIP. Nothing herein contained shall be deemed or
construed to create a partnership or joint venture between the parties hereto,
and the services of the Servicers shall be rendered as independent contractors
and not as agents for the Trustee.

         SECTION 8.6 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each

time to the extent such reports have not been otherwise forwarded to the Rating
Agency and the Noteholders pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement or the
other Transaction Documents.

         SECTION 8.9 INDULGENCES; NO WAIVERS. Neither the failure nor any delay
on the part of a party to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege under
this Agreement shall operate as a

SERVICE AGREEMENT - PAGE 28
<PAGE>   33

waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy,
power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise of the same or of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege, nor shall any waiver of any right,
remedy, power or privilege with respect to any occurrence be construed as a
waiver of such right, remedy, power or privilege with respect to any other

by the party asserted to have granted such waiver.

         SECTION 8.10 TITLES NOT TO AFFECT INTERPRETATION. The titles of

agreement and understanding among the parties hereto with respect to the subject
matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements,
understandings, inducements and conditions, express or implied, oral or written,
of any nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof. The express
terms hereof control and supersede any course of performance and/or usage of the
trade inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.

therewith by the person requesting the amendment. To the extent permitted by

                                 TRUST INDENTURE

         THIS TRUST INDENTURE (this "INDENTURE") is made and entered into as of
June 26, 2001 by and between PMC JOINT VENTURE, L.P. 2001, a Delaware limited
partnership (the "ISSUER"), and BNY MIDWEST TRUST COMPANY, an Illinois state
banking corporation, as trustee (the "TRUSTEE"), who did declare that they have
made and entered into, and do hereby make, enter into and effect, a Trust
Indenture under the following terms and conditions,

                                   WITNESSETH:

         WHEREAS, pursuant to its Limited Partnership Agreement and the
applicable provisions of Delaware law, the Issuer is authorized to issue notes
secured as provided herein and to enter into any agreements made in connection
therewith; and

         WHEREAS, the Issuer is hereby issuing its Loan-Backed Fixed Rate Notes
(collectively, the "NOTES") and will use the proceeds from the sale of the Notes
to effect a pro rata distribution to its partners and deposit funds into the
Spread Account (as defined herein); and

         WHEREAS, the Issuer has authorized the issuance of the Notes pursuant
to and secured by this Indenture and the execution of this Indenture to secure
the Notes by a pledge of the Loans (as defined herein) and moneys held by the
Trustee; and

         WHEREAS, upon satisfaction of certain requirements contained herein and
simultaneously with the authentication and delivery of the Notes, the Issuer

release the net proceeds of the Notes to the Issuer.

                      NOW, THEREFORE, THIS TRUST INDENTURE
                                   WITNESSETH:

                                GRANTING CLAUSES

         The Issuer, in consideration of the premises and the acceptance by the
Trustee of the trusts hereby created and of the purchase and acceptance of the
Notes by the Holders thereof, and for other good and valuable consideration, the

         therein and the security entitlements to all financial assets credited
         thereto from time to time, and the interest, profits and other income
         derived from the investment thereof;

                  (c) all right, title and interest of the Issuer in, to and
         under the Servicing Agreement, the Contribution Agreement and the other
         Transaction Documents, including all extensions and renewals of their
         terms, if any, including, but without limiting the generality of the
         foregoing, the present and continuing right to make claim for, collect
         and receive any income, revenues, receipts, issues, profits, insurance
         proceeds and other sums of money payable to or receivable by the Issuer
         under the Servicing Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or the other
         Transaction Documents, whether payable pursuant to the Servicing
         Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or the other Transaction
         Documents, or otherwise, to bring actions and proceedings under the
         Servicing Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or the other
         Transaction Documents or for the enforcement thereof, and to do any and
         all things which the Issuer is or may become entitled to do under the
         Servicing Agreement, the Contribution Agreement or the other
         Transaction Documents;

                  (d) any and all other real or personal property of every name
         and nature from time to time hereafter by delivery or by writing of any
         kind conveyed, mortgaged, pledged, assigned or transferred as and for
         additional security hereunder by the Issuer, or by anyone on its behalf
         or with its written consent, to the Trustee which is hereby authorized
         to receive any and all such property at any and all times and to hold
         and apply the same subject to the terms hereof; and

                  (e) all proceeds of the above, and any proceeds thereof.

         TO HAVE AND TO HOLD all and singular the Trust Estate, whether now
owned or hereafter acquired, unto the Trustee and its respective successors in
trust and assigns forever;

         IN TRUST NEVERTHELESS, upon the terms and trusts herein set forth for
the equal and proportionate benefit and security of all present and future
Holders of the Notes without preference of any Note over any other, and for
enforcement of the payment of the Notes in accordance with their terms, and all
other sums payable hereunder or on the Notes and for the performance of and
compliance with the obligations, covenants and conditions of this Indenture, as
if all the Notes at any time outstanding had been authenticated, executed and
delivered simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Indenture, all
as herein set forth;

         PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the Issuer, its successors or assigns shall
indefeasibly pay, or cause to be paid, the principal of and interest on the
Notes due or to become due thereon, at the times and in the manner mentioned in
the Notes according to the true intent and meaning thereof, and shall cause the
payments to be made as required under Article V hereof, or shall

provide, as permitted hereby, for the payment thereof by depositing with the
Trustee the entire amount due or to become due thereon, and shall keep, perform

Indenture to be kept, performed and observed by it, and shall pay or cause to be
paid to the Trustee and any paying agent all sums of money due or to become due
in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, then upon such final
payments this Indenture and the rights hereby and thereby granted shall cease,
determine and be void; otherwise this Indenture is to be and remain in full
force and effect;

         AND PROVIDED, FURTHER, the Trustee agrees to accept receipt of the
Loans and the Trustee Loan Files, and declares that it holds and will hold for
the benefit of the Noteholders such documents and the other documents
constituting a part of the Loans and the Trustee Loan Files delivered to it as
the Trustee upon the terms stated herein.

         THIS TRUST INDENTURE FURTHER WITNESSETH, and it is expressly declared,
that all Notes issued and secured hereunder are to be issued, authenticated and
delivered, and all said property, rights and interests, including, without
limitation, the amounts hereby assigned and pledged, are to be dealt with and
disposed of, under, upon and subject to the terms, conditions, stipulations,
covenants, agreements, trusts, uses and purposes hereinafter expressed, and the
Issuer has agreed and covenanted, and does hereby agree and covenant, with the
Trustee and with the respective Holders, from time to time or at any time, of
the Notes, or any part thereof, as follows:

                                   ARTICLE I

                                   DEFINITIONS

         All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the same meanings as set forth in Schedule 1 attached hereto.

                                   ARTICLE II

                                    THE NOTES

         2.1 AUTHORIZED AMOUNT OF NOTES. No Notes may be issued under the
provisions of this Indenture, except in accordance with this Article. Except as
provided in Sections 2.8 and 2.9 hereof, the total principal amount of Notes
that may be issued is hereby expressly limited to $75,378,920.

         2.2 ISSUANCE OF NOTES; DENOMINATIONS; FORM OF NOTES. (a) The Notes
shall be designated the "PMC Joint Venture, L.P. 2001 Loan-Backed Fixed Rate
Notes" and shall be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount equal to
$75,378,920.

         The Notes shall mature on the Maturity Date, and shall accrue interest
during each Interest Accrual Period at the Applicable Remittance Rate. The Notes
shall also accrue interest on the unpaid principal and, to the extent permitted
by applicable law, accrued interest to the extent that such amount has not been
distributed to the Noteholders when due at the Default Rate. The Notes shall be
non-recourse to the Issuer's partners and neither the Trustee nor the
Noteholders shall have any right to enforce the payment or performance of the
Issuer's

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 3
<PAGE>   8

obligations under this Indenture and the Notes against the partners of the
Issuer or their respective assets.

                  (b) The Notes will be issued as registered Notes without
coupons in minimum denominations of $250,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in
excess thereof. One (1) Note may be issued in an additional amount equal to the
remainder of the aggregate stated principal balance of the Notes on the Closing
Date.

                  (c) The Notes issued under this Indenture shall be
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit A hereto with such variations,
omissions and insertions as are permitted or required thereby and hereby.

         2.3 [INTENTIONALLY OMITTED.]

         2.4 EXECUTION. The Notes shall be executed on behalf of the Issuer with
the signature of any Authorized Officer of the General Partner and attested by
the signature of the Secretary or Assistant Secretary of the General Partner. In
case any officer of the General Partner of the Issuer whose signature shall
appear on the Notes shall cease to be such officer before the delivery of such
Notes, such signature shall nevertheless be valid and sufficient for all
purposes, the same as if he had remained in office until delivery.

         The Notes are negotiable instruments (subject to compliance with
applicable Securities Laws) and shall be solely the obligations of the Issuer.

         2.5 AUTHENTICATION. No Note shall be valid or obligatory for any
purpose or entitled to any security or benefit under this Indenture unless and
until a certificate of authentication on such Note shall have been duly executed
by the Trustee by manual signature, which execution shall be at the written
direction of the Issuer, and such executed certificate of the Trustee upon any
such Note shall be conclusive evidence that such Note has been authenticated and
delivered under this Indenture. The Trustee's certificate of authentication on
any Note shall be deemed to have been executed by it if signed by an Authorized
Officer or signatory of the Trustee, but it shall not be necessary that the same
officer or signatory sign the certificate of authentication on all of the Notes
issued hereunder. Except as provided in Sections 2.8 and 2.9(d), all Notes shall
be dated the date of their authentication.

         2.6 DELIVERY OF NOTES AND RECEIPT OF LOANS. (a) After the execution and
delivery of this Indenture, the Issuer shall execute and deliver to the Trustee,
and the Trustee shall authenticate, the Notes and deliver the Notes to the
Initial Purchasers, for the purchase price specified by the Issuer, as
hereinafter in this Section provided.

         Simultaneously with or prior to the delivery by the Trustee of all of
the Notes and the disbursement of a portion of the net proceeds of the issuance
of the Notes, there shall be received by the Trustee:

                           (i) A copy, duly certified by the General Partner of
the Issuer, of each of the resolutions of the board of directors of the General
Partner and the Issuer authorizing the issuance of the Notes and the execution
and delivery of this Indenture;

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 4
<PAGE>   9

                           (ii) An original executed counterpart of each
Transaction Document;

                           (iii) A request and authorization to the Trustee on
behalf of the Issuer and signed by the General Partner of the Issuer to
authenticate and deliver such series of Notes to the purchasers therein
identified upon payment to the Trustee, but for the account of the Issuer, of a
sum specified in such request and authorization. The proceeds of such payment
shall be paid over to the Trustee and deposited as required by such request and
authorization in the various funds specified in, and pursuant to Article VI
hereof;

                           (iv) An Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory in form and
scope to the Initial Purchasers, that the Notes constitute debt of the Issuer
for federal income tax purposes;

                           (v) The documents with respect to the Loans described
in the Loan Schedule in accordance with paragraph (b) below;

                           (vi) A letter from Moody's, indicating that the Notes
have been rated at least "Aaa";

                           (vii) Certified copies of resolutions, organizational
documents, bylaws and incumbency certificates for PMC, PMCT, the Issuer and the
General Partner of the Issuer;

                           (viii) Opinions of Issuer's counsel, satisfactory in
form and scope to the Initial Purchaser, addressed to, among others, the Trustee
and the Noteholders to the effect that, among other things, and based upon the
qualifications, assumptions and reasoning stated therein:

                                    (A) The contribution and assignment of the
         Loans (and related rights) by PMC and PMCT to the Issuer (1) constitute
         a "true sale" and will result in the Loans not being deemed property of
         PMC's or PMCT's estate pursuant to Section 541 of the Bankruptcy Code
         (and based upon lien search reports, there is no public record of any
         prior UCC financing statements covering such Loans, other than by
         entities which have executed a UCC termination statement or other
         appropriate agreement(s) indicating the release of their security
         interests, or any notice of any federal tax lien), and (2) based upon
         lien search reports, the Trustee has a valid first priority perfected
         security interest in such Loans and the Related Assets as security for
         the Notes (and based upon lien search reports, there is no public
         record of any prior UCC financing statements covering such Loans, other
         than by entities which have executed a UCC termination statement or
         other appropriate agreement(s) indicating the release of their security
         interests, or any notice of any federal tax lien); and

                                    (B) in the event of a bankruptcy of PMC,
         PMCT or the General Partner of the Issuer, the assets and liabilities
         of the Issuer would not be substantively consolidated with the assets
         and liabilities of PMC, PMCT or the General Partner, as applicable.

                           (ix) Copies of properly prepared and executed
financing statements in sufficient form for filing, naming (A) PMC or PMCT, as
the case may be, as seller, the Issuer as purchaser, and the Trustee as assignee
of the purchaser to reflect the conveyance of the Loans to the Issuer, and (B)
the Issuer as debtor and the Trustee as secured party, covering the Issuer's

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 5
<PAGE>   10

interest in the Trust Estate, as may be necessary or desirable to perfect the
security interest of the Trustee (for the benefit of the Noteholders) in the
Issuer's interest in the Trust Estate and copies of properly prepared and
executed releases in sufficient form for filing, indicating the release of any
security interest by any third party in such assets; and

                           (x) Copies of UCC and tax and judgment lien search
reports against PMC and PMCT.

         Any of the foregoing statements which are not, as of the Closing Date,
properly filed in the appropriate office as necessary to evidence the conveyance
of the Loans to the Issuer or perfect the security interest of the Trustee (for
the benefit of the Noteholders) in the Issuer's interest in the Trust Estate or
to effect the release of any security interest held by any third party in such
assets shall be mailed on the Closing Date by overnight mail to the
jurisdictions in which such statements are to be filed.

cause to be delivered to and deposited with, the Trustee the following documents

Contribution Agreement and to prepare, execute and file or record UCC financing
statements and notices to insurers; and

                           (viii) for all Loans, a blanket UCC-1 financing
statement describing the Loans and identifying by type all collateral for the
Loans in the Loan Pool and naming the Trustee as Secured Party and the Issuer as

of the Secretary of State of Texas.

         The Issuer will cause to be recorded or filed each assignment of a Loan
to the Trustee in the appropriate public office for real property records within
six (6) months after the Closing Date to protect the Trustee's interest in the
Loans against sale, further assignments, satisfaction or discharge by the
Servicer, PMC, PMCT, the Issuer or any third party. The Issuer shall confirm the
recordation or filing of the assignments of the Loans in writing to the Trustee
and the Noteholders within thirty (30) days following such six (6) month period.

         For Loans which have been prepaid in full after the Cut-Off Date and
prior to the Closing Date, the Issuer, in lieu of delivering the above
documents, and with respect to all Monthly Payments received after the Cut-Off
Date, herewith delivers to the Trustee an Officers' Certificate to the effect
that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to
be deposited in the Lockbox Account have been so delivered to the Trustee and
indicating the amount of any payment received with respect to each such Loan.

         With respect to Loans for which the original Mortgage and related
assignment have been sent to the appropriate public official for recording, the
Issuer shall provide the original Mortgage and related assignments to the
Trustee promptly upon receipt from the public official after recording. Within
six (6) months after the Closing Date, the Trustee shall certify that all such
original Mortgages and related assignments have been received and, if not,
shall, upon prior written consent of the Initial Purchaser, demand repurchase of
the related Loan pursuant to Section 3.3.

                  (c) The Trustee, by execution and delivery hereof, subject to
the next preceding paragraph and the last paragraph of this Section,
acknowledges receipt of the documents and other property referred to in and
required to be delivered pursuant to this Section 2.6 and declares that the
Trustee holds and will hold all other property to be received pursuant to this
Indenture, in trust, for the benefit of all Holders.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 7
<PAGE>   12

         The Trustee further acknowledges that it has also received a
certificate from the Supervisory Servicer, a copy of which has been provided to
the Rating Agency, to the effect that, as to each Loan listed in the Loan
Schedule, (i) all documents constituting part of such Trustee Loan File required
to be delivered to the Trustee pursuant to this Indenture have been delivered to
the Trustee, (ii) such documents have been reviewed by it as to form and appear
to have been properly executed and regular on their face, purport to be recorded
or filed (as applicable), have not been torn, mutilated or otherwise defaced and
relate to such Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the
foregoing, the information set forth in the Loan Schedule accurately reflects
information set forth in the Trustee Loan File, except for exceptions detailed
on the exhibit attached to such list. In performing such review, the Supervisory
Servicer may rely upon the purported genuineness and due execution of any such
document and on the purported genuineness of any signature thereon. If at any
time the Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a
Trustee Loan File to be defective, or to be unrelated to the Loans identified on
the Loan Schedule, the Trustee shall promptly so notify the Noteholders, the
Issuer, the Servicer, the Rating Agency, PMCT and PMC, and the Trustee, as
assignee under the Contribution Agreement, shall make written demand upon PMC or
PMCT, as applicable, to comply with its obligation under Section 8 of the
Contribution Agreement and shall send copies of such written demand to the
Noteholders, the Issuer, the Servicer and the Rating Agency. If PMC or PMCT, as
applicable, fails to comply with such obligation, the Trustee will give prompt
written notice to the Noteholders, the Supervisory Servicer and the Rating
Agency and the Trustee shall take such reasonable action as the Required
Noteholders direct in writing, at the expense of the Servicer if the Servicer is
an Affiliate of the Issuer.

         2.7 PAYMENTS OF PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON NOTES. (a) The person in
whose name any Note is registered as of a Record Date with respect to a Payment
Date shall be entitled to receive the interest and principal payable on such
Payment Date notwithstanding the cancellation of such Note upon any registration
of transfer or exchange thereof subsequent to such Record Date and prior to such
Payment Date.

                  (b) The Notes shall bear interest from and including the
Closing Date. In all cases, interest shall be calculated on the basis of a
30-day month and a 360-day year. Interest accrued on the Notes during an
Interest Accrual Period will be due and payable on the related Payment Date.

                  Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Section, each Note
delivered under this Indenture upon transfer of or exchange for or in lieu of
any other Note shall carry the rights to interest due and unpaid, and to become
due, which were carried by such other Note.

                  (c) Principal payments on the Notes shall be made on each
Payment Date as provided in Section 6.4 hereof. Principal payments on the Notes
shall be applied pro rata to all Notes.

                  (c) Payments to each Holder shall be made by check mailed to
such Holder's address as it appears on the Note Register on the relevant Record
Date (or, in the case of any Holder of Notes having an aggregate initial
principal amount of not less than $1,000,000, by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of such Noteholder and without presentation of
the Note or the making of any notations thereon, if such Noteholder shall have

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 8
<PAGE>   13

given the Trustee appropriate written notice of such account, and changes (if
any) to such instructions at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Record
Date immediately preceding the Payment Date).

         2.8 MUTILATED, LOST, STOLEN OR DESTROYED NOTES. In the event any Note
is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, upon receipt by the Trustee of evidence
reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of the Note and in the absence of
notice to the Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Issuer shall execute and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver a new
Note executed in the same manner as the Note being replaced, in the same
principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of such Note and dated the date
to which interest shall have been paid on such Note or, if no interest shall
have yet been so paid, dated the date of such Note, provided that, in the case
of any mutilated Note, such mutilated Note shall first be surrendered to the
Trustee, and, in the case of any lost, stolen or destroyed Note, there shall be
first furnished to the Trustee and the Issuer evidence of such loss, theft or
destruction reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, together with any indemnity
satisfactory to each of them. Further, in the case of a past due or a matured,
lost, stolen or destroyed Note, the Trustee shall pay the face amount of such
past due or matured Note upon delivery to the Trustee of evidence of such loss,
theft or destruction reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, together with any
indemnity satisfactory to each of them. Upon the execution of any new Note under
this Section 2.8, the Trustee may require the Holder to pay a sum sufficient to
cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation
thereto and any other expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee)
connected therewith. Any new Note issued pursuant to this Section 2.8 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the Note, as if
originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Note shall be
found at any time.

         2.9 REGISTRATION AND EXCHANGE OF NOTES; PERSONS TREATED AS HOLDERS;
RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERS OF NOTES. (a) The Issuer shall cause books for the
registration and for the transfer of the Notes as provided in this Indenture to
be kept by the Trustee, who is hereby appointed as the initial Registrar. The
Trustee hereby accepts its appointment as initial Registrar and shall maintain
the Note Register. The Registrar may resign or be discharged or removed and a
new successor appointed in accordance with the procedures and requirements set
forth in Article X hereof with respect to the resignation, discharge or removal
of the Trustee and the appointment of a successor Trustee. The Registrar may
appoint, by a written instrument delivered to the Issuer, the Trustee, the
Supervisory Servicer, the Noteholders, the Servicer and the Holders, any other
bank or trust company to act as co-registrar under such conditions as the
Registrar may prescribe, provided that the Registrar shall not be relieved of
any of its duties or responsibilities hereunder by reason of such appointment.
The ownership of Notes shall be proved by the Note Register. The Trustee will
keep on file at the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee a list of names and
addresses of the owners of all Notes as shown on the Register maintained by the
Trustee as Registrar.

         At reasonable times and under reasonable regulations established by the
Trustee, the Note Register may be inspected and copied by the Issuer, the
Supervisory Servicer or any Holder (or a designated representative thereof).

                  (b) Prior to presentation of any Note for registration of
transfer, the Issuer and the Trustee shall treat the Person in whose name such
Note is registered as the owner and holder

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 9
<PAGE>   14

of such Note for all purposes whatsoever, whether or not such Note shall be
overdue, and the Issuer and the Trustee or their agents shall not be affected by
notice to the contrary.

                  (c) No transfer or sale of any Note shall be made unless the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "ACT"),
and any applicable state securities laws are complied with, or such transfer or
sale is exempt from the registration requirements under said Act and laws. In
the event that a transfer of any Note is to be made, the Trustee shall require
the Holder of such Note to deliver, at its expense, a certificate in the form of
Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-2 hereto, as the case may be, or a certificate
otherwise reasonably acceptable to and in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee that such transfer is being made pursuant to an
exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from said
Act and laws or is being made pursuant to said Act and laws. If a certificate is
not in the form of either Exhibit D-1 or Exhibit D-2 hereto, the Trustee may
request an Opinion of Counsel (which counsel may be in-house counsel of the
transferor or transferee) to establish compliance with such Act or laws. The
Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Issuer. Neither
the Issuer nor the Trustee is under an obligation to register any such Note
under said Act or any other Securities Law. Any transfer under this Section
2.9(c) that is not exempt from the registration requirements under the Act or
applicable state securities laws or if the transfer is not conducted in
accordance with such laws shall be null and void. In the event that any Note is
transferred to a transferee which is using funds to purchase the Note which such
funds constitute assets of one or more employee benefit plans, such transferee
shall advise the Issuer in writing of such source of funds and the Issuer shall
advise such transferee in writing whether the Issuer is or is not a party in
interest with respect to any employee benefit plan disclosed to the Issuer by
such transferee. As used in this Section, the terms "party-in-interest" and
"employee benefit plan" shall have the respective meanings assigned to them in
ERISA.

                  (d) The holder of any Note, at its option, may in person or by
duly authorized attorney surrender the same for exchange at the Corporate Trust
Office and promptly thereafter and at the Issuer's expense, except as provided
in Section 2.9(e), receive in exchange therefor a new Note or Notes, each in the
denomination requested by such Holder (but not less than $250,000, or, if such
Holder shall be a Holder of less than $250,000 in aggregate principal amount of
Notes, such lesser amount), dated the date to which interest shall have been
paid on the Note so surrendered or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid,
dated the date of the Note so surrendered and registered in the name of such
Person or Persons as shall have been designated in writing by such Holder or its
attorney for the same principal amount as the then unpaid principal amount of
the Note so surrendered. Upon surrender for transfer of any Note at the
Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, the Trustee shall authenticate and
deliver (upon satisfaction of the conditions stated above) in the name of the
transferee or transferees a new Note or Notes of authorized denomination for the
aggregate principal amount entitled to be received by such transferee or
transferees. Notes to be exchanged shall be surrendered at the Corporate Trust
Office of the Trustee and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver in exchange
therefor the Note or Notes which the Noteholder making the exchange shall be
entitled to receive (upon satisfaction of the conditions stated above).

                  (e) All Notes presented for transfer, exchange, registration,
discharge from registration, redemption or payment (if so required by the Issuer
or the Trustee) shall be

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 10
<PAGE>   15

accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of transfer or authorization
for exchange, in form (and with guaranty of signature) reasonably satisfactory
to the Issuer and the Trustee, duly executed by the registered Holder or by its
duly authorized attorney.

                           Notes shall be transferred or exchanged without cost
to the Noteholder, except for any stamp or other tax or governmental charge
required to be paid with respect to such transfer or exchange.

                  (f) New Notes delivered upon any transfer or exchange shall be
valid obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the same debt as the Notes
surrendered, shall be secured by this Indenture and shall be entitled to all of
the security and benefits hereof to the same extent as the Notes surrendered.

         2.10 DESTRUCTION OF NOTES. If any Outstanding Note shall be delivered
to the Trustee for cancellation pursuant to this Indenture, upon payment of the
final principal amount and interest with respect to the Note represented
thereby, or for replacement pursuant to Section 2.8 hereof or transfer or
exchange pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof, such Note shall be canceled and
destroyed by the Trustee and counterparts of a certificate of destruction
evidencing such destruction shall be furnished by the Trustee to the Issuer.

warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the Noteholders as follows:

                  (a) the Issuer is a limited partnership duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware
and has full power to own its property, to carry on its business as presently

Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the
part of the Issuer;

                  (c) neither the execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents by the Issuer, nor the consummation of the transactions herein or
therein contemplated, nor compliance by the Issuer with the provisions hereof or
thereof, will conflict with or result in a breach of, or constitute a default
under, any of the provisions of the partnership agreement of the Issuer or
conflict with, result in a breach or violation of or constitute a default under,
the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument to which the Issuer
is a party or by which the Issuer is bound, or any statute, order or regulation
applicable to the Issuer of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or
governmental body having jurisdiction over the Issuer;

                  (d) the execution, delivery and performance by the Issuer of
the Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby do not require the consent or approval of, the giving of notice to, the
registration with, or the taking of any other

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 11
<PAGE>   16

action in respect of, any state, federal or other governmental authority or
agency, except for such consents or approvals which have been obtained on or
before the Closing Date;

                  (e) each Transaction Document has been duly executed and
delivered by the Issuer and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery
by the other parties thereto, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
of the Issuer enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (subject to
applicable bankruptcy and insolvency laws and other similar laws affecting the
enforcement of the rights of creditors generally and general principles of
equity);

                  (f) there are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to
the knowledge of the Issuer, threatened or likely to be asserted against or
affecting the Issuer, before or by any court, administrative agency, arbitrator
or governmental body (i) with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by
the Transaction Documents or (ii) with respect to any other matter which, in the
reasonable judgment of the Issuer will be determined adversely to the Issuer and
will, if determined adversely to the Issuer, materially and adversely affect it
or its business, assets, operations or condition, financial or otherwise, or
materially and adversely affect its ability to perform its obligations under the
Transaction Documents. The Issuer is not in default with respect to any order of
any court, administrative agency, arbitrator or governmental body so as to
materially and adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents;

                  (g) as of the Closing Date, the Issuer had good title to, and
was the sole owner of, each Loan and any other asset included in the Trust
Estate free and clear of all Liens, and, immediately upon the transfer and
assignment herein contemplated and taking possession of the Trustee Loan File,
the Trustee shall have a first priority perfected security interest in the Trust
Estate free and clear of all Liens; and

                  (h) the Issuer acquired title to the Loans in good faith,
without notice of any adverse claim.

         3.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO LOANS. (a) The
Issuer hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Noteholders as of the date hereof with respect to each Loan as follows:

                           (i) Immediately prior to the collateral assignment of
the Loan to the Trustee, the Issuer had good title to, and was the sole owner
of, the Loan free and clear of all Liens. Except for the Issuer, no Person other
than PMC or PMCT, as the case may be, and the Trustee has any interest in the
Mortgage, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise. Immediately upon
the collateral assignment of the Loan and taking possession thereof, the Trustee
will have a first priority perfected security interest in each Loan, free and
clear of all Liens.

                           (ii) The Loan was originated in the United States, in
a state where the originator of such Loan, is qualified to transact such
business, in the ordinary course of its business, except to the extent that any
failure to be so qualified would not adversely affect the Loan or the Mortgage
or the transfer thereof or the enforceability of the Obligor's obligations
thereunder. PMC or PMCT, as the case may be, acquired title to the Loans in good
faith, without notice of any adverse claim.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 12
<PAGE>   17

                           (iii) The Loan has not been originated in, nor is
such Loan subject to the laws of, any jurisdiction under which the transfer and
assignment of such Loan to the Issuer would be unlawful, void or voidable.

                           (iv) The information set forth in the Loan Schedule
is true and correct in all material respects.

                           (v) The terms of the Underlying Note and the Mortgage
have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by
written instruments, executed in accordance with the customary credit policies
of PMC or PMCT, as the case may be, which are reflected on the Loan Schedule. No
Obligor has been released, in whole or in part, except pursuant to the terms of
an assumption agreement which is part of the related Loan File and the terms of
which are reflected in the Loan Schedule.

                           (vi) The Underlying Note and the related Mortgage are
not subject to any right of rescission, setoff, abatement, diminution,
counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation
of any of the terms of the Underlying Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of
any right thereunder in accordance with the terms thereof, render the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of rescission,
setoff, abatement, diminution, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of
usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, abatement, diminution,
counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

                           (vii) The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled
or subordinated, in whole or in part, or rescinded, and except as reflected on
the Loan Schedule, the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of
the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that
would effect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.

                           (viii) The Underlying Note and the Mortgage delivered
to the Trustee are genuine originals (except where certified copies of the
Mortgage have been delivered in accordance with this Indenture) and each is the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof, enforceable in
accordance with its terms.

                           (ix) There has been no fraud, dishonesty,
misrepresentation or negligence on the part of the Issuer, the Independent
Managers or the General Partner or, to the Issuer's knowledge, on the part of
the originator, PMC, PMCT or the Obligor in connection with the origination of
any Loan or in connection with the transfer and assignment of such Loan to the
Issuer.

                           (x) As of the Closing Date, there was no material
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under the Mortgage
or the Underlying Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with
notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a
default, breach, violation or event of acceleration, and since the Cut-off Date
the Issuer had not waived any such default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 13
<PAGE>   18

                           (xi) The Mortgage and the Underlying Note comply with
all requirements of applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.
The origination and servicing of the Loan and the assignment of the Loan comply
with any and all applicable requirements of any applicable federal, state or
local law, including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real estate
settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit opportunity and
disclosure laws. To the Issuer's knowledge, each Mortgaged Property is in
compliance in all material respects with all applicable laws, zoning ordinances,
rules, covenants and restrictions affecting the construction, occupancy, use and
operation of such Mortgaged Property. To the Issuer's knowledge, all
inspections, licenses and certificates required, including certificates of
occupancy, whether by law, ordinance, regulation or insurance standards to be
made or issued with regard to the Mortgaged Property, have been obtained and are
in full force and effect.

                           (xii) To the Issuer's knowledge, each Loan was
originated or purchased in accordance with PMCT's or PMC's standard mortgage,
underwriting, origination and lending procedures. To the Issuer's knowledge, no
adverse selection criteria were utilized by PMC, PMCT or the Issuer in selecting
the Loans for inclusion in this transaction.

                           (xiii) No Loan is a 30-Day Delinquent Loan.

                           (xiv) The Issuer has not advanced funds or induced,
solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the
owner of the Mortgaged Property subject to the Mortgage, directly or indirectly,
for the payment of any amount required by the Loan.

                           (xv) To the Issuer's knowledge, there are no
delinquent taxes, ground rents, water charges, sewer rents, assessments
(including assessments payable in future installments) or other outstanding
charges affecting the related Mortgaged Property.

                           (xvi) The Mortgaged Property is located in the state
indicated on the Loan Schedule, and, except as reflected on the Loan Schedule,
consists of a single parcel of real property. The Mortgaged Property is in good
repair, is free of damage and waste that would materially and adversely affect
its value and such Mortgaged Property has not been materially damaged by fire,
wind or other cause, which damage has not been fully repaired or for which
insurance proceeds have not been received or are not expected to be received in
an amount sufficient to pay for such repairs.

                           (xvii) The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and
enforceable first lien on the Mortgaged Property, including all buildings on the
Mortgaged Property and all fixtures related thereto, and all additions,
alterations and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing,
except as reflected on the Loan Schedule. Such lien is subject only to (1) the
lien of current real property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2)
covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights-of-way, easements and other
matters of the public record as of the date of recording, none of which
individually or in the aggregate materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the operation and use of the
related Mortgaged Property, and (3) other matters to which like properties are
commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the
security intended to be provided by the

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 14
<PAGE>   19

Mortgage or the use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or equivalent document
related to and delivered in connection with the Loan establishes and creates a
valid, subsisting and enforceable first lien and first priority security
interest on the property described therein, except as reflected on the Loan
Schedule. Except as reflected on the Loan Schedule, the Underlying Note is not
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the
security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel mortgage
referred to in this paragraph.

                           (xviii) The Mortgage contains provisions for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Loan in the
event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior written consent
of the Mortgagee thereunder.

                           (xix) The Issuer has no knowledge of any mechanics'
or similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or material (or
any rights outstanding that under applicable law could give rise to such lien)
affecting the Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or
on parity with, the lien of the Mortgage.

                           (xx) The proceeds of the Loan have been fully
disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder, and any
and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or off-site improvements
and as to disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have been complied with.

                           (xxi) There is no proceeding pending for the total or
partial condemnation of the Mortgaged Property.

                           (xxii) The Mortgage contains customary provisions
such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security
provided thereby, including, (1) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed
of trust, by trustee's sale and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure or power
of sale. To the Issuer's knowledge, there is no homestead or other exemption
available to the Obligor which would interfere with the right to sell the
Mortgaged Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.

                           (xxiii) In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed
of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has
been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the Mortgage,
and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the Issuer or its
assignees to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a
trustee's sale after default by the Obligor.

                           (xxiv) The Loan is an Eligible Loan as of the Closing
Date.

                           (xxv) The form of endorsement of each Underlying Note
satisfies the requirement, if any, of endorsement in order to transfer all
right, title and interest of the party so endorsing, as noteholder or assignee
thereof, in and to that Underlying Note, and each form of assignment is in
recordable form and is sufficient to effect the assignment of and to transfer to
the assignee thereof, all right, title and interest under each Mortgage to which
that assignment relates.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 15
<PAGE>   20

                           (xxvi) Each document for each Loan required under
Section 2.6(b) hereof to be delivered to the Trustee on behalf of the Issuer
meets the requirements of Section 2.6(b) and has been or will be, on or before
the Closing Date, delivered to the Trustee.

                           (xxvii) A Phase I environmental report was prepared
with respect to each Mortgaged Property, other than the Mortgaged Properties
indicated in the Loan Schedule, prior to the date of this Agreement. To the
Issuer's knowledge, each Mortgaged Property was, as of its date of origination
of the Underlying Note and as of the Closing Date in material compliance with
all applicable environmental laws and regulations.

                           (xxviii) All escrow deposits, if any, and other
payments relating to each Loan have been delivered to the Servicer or its agent,
and all amounts required to be deposited by the Issuer or the related Obligor
have been deposited and there are no deficiencies with regard thereto.

                           (xxix) The lien of each Mortgage is insured by an
ALTA lender's title insurance policy (or a binding commitment) or its
equivalent, as adopted in the applicable jurisdiction. Except as reflected on
the Loan Schedule, the policy (or such binding commitment) insures the
originator of such Loan, its successors and assigns, as to the first priority
lien of the Mortgage in the original principal amount after all advances of
principal, subject only to permitted encumbrances, none of which, individually
or in the aggregate should interfere with the current use of the Mortgaged
Property or materially detract from the benefit of the first priority lien of
the Mortgage. The originator of such Loan (including its successors and assigns)
is the sole named insured of the policy (or such binding commitment), and the
policy (or such binding commitment) is assignable to the Issuer and the Trustee
without the consent of or any notification to the insurer. No claims have been
made under such policy (or such binding commitment), and the Issuer has no
knowledge of any matter that would impair or diminish the coverage of such
policy.

                           (xxx) Each Mortgaged Property is covered by insurance
policies providing coverage against loss or damage sustained by (1) fire and
extended perils included within the classification "All Risk of Physical Loss"
in an amount sufficient to prevent the Obligor from being deemed a co-insurer,
and to provide coverage of replacement or actual cost, consistent with industry
standards; and the policies contain a standard mortgagee clause naming the
mortgagee and its successors as mortgagees and loss payees; (2) flood insurance
(if any portion of the Mortgaged Property is located in an area identified by
the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special hazards); and (3)
comprehensive general liability insurance in amounts as are generally required
by commercial mortgage lenders. The insurance policies contain clauses providing
they are not terminable and may not be reduced without 10 days prior written
notice to the mortgagee, and all premiums due and payable through the Closing
Date have been made. To the Issuer's knowledge, no notice of termination or
cancellation with respect to any such policies has been received by PMC or PMCT,
as applicable, which remains effective.

                           (xxxi) To the Issuer's knowledge, the Obligor has
good title to the Mortgaged Property.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 16
<PAGE>   21

                           (xxxii) At least one regularly scheduled payment of
principal or interest has been made on the Loan; provided, however, in the event
that at least one such regularly scheduled payment has not been made on any Loan
and such Loan becomes a 30-day Delinquent Loan prior to the time such regularly
scheduled payment is made, such Loan will be deemed to be a Defective Loan and
subject to the terms of Section 3.3 hereof.

                           (xxxiii) The Issuer acknowledges that the Trustee, as
assignee of the Issuer with respect to the Contribution Agreement, may enforce
any right or remedy thereunder, including any right or remedy with respect to
breaches of the representations and warranties thereunder.

         3.3 REPURCHASE AND SUBSTITUTION OF LOANS. (a) Upon discovery by either
the Issuer, the Servicer, the Trustee or the Supervisory Servicer of a breach of
any of the representations and warranties made by PMC or PMCT, as the case may
be, pursuant to the Contribution Agreement or made by the Issuer pursuant to
Section 3.2 hereof, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the others, to the Noteholders, to the Rating Agency and to PMC or
PMCT, as the case may be, and the Trustee, upon such discovery or receipt of
such notice, shall make written demand upon the Issuer with respect to a breach
of any of the representations or warranties contained in Section 3.2 hereof to
comply with this Section 3.3 or upon PMC or PMCT, as the case may be, to comply
with Section 8 or Section 13, as applicable, of the Contribution Agreement.
Within thirty (30) days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of any breach
or defect the Issuer, PMC or PMCT, as the case may be, shall, at its option, (i)
promptly cure such defect or breach in all material respects, (ii) purchase the
affected Loan at a price equal to the Takeout Price, upon the Required
Noteholders consent, or (iii) if such defect or breach occurs within two (2)
years of the Closing Date, deliver to the Trustee, upon the Required Noteholders
consent, in exchange for the affected Loan, a Substitute Loan, together with any
related Asset Substitution Shortfall. If the breach or defect has not been cured
or a Substitute Loan so delivered to the Trustee within thirty (30) days after
such discovery or receipt of notice, the Issuer, PMC or PMCT, as the case may
be, must purchase the Defective Loan within one (1) Business Day for an amount
equal to the Takeout Price.

                  (b) In the event a Loan becomes a Charged-Off Loan, PMC or
PMCT, as the case may be, may purchase the Charged-Off Loan at a price equal to
the Takeout Price or cause or permit the Charged-Off Loan to be released from
the lien of this Indenture in accordance with Section 3.4(a)(iii) hereof.

                  (c) In the event a Loan becomes a Refinancable Loan, the
applicable Servicer shall give prompt written notice to the Noteholders, the
Trustee, the other Servicer and the Supervisory Servicer and PMC or PMCT, as the
case may be, may purchase the Refinancable Loan at a price equal to the Takeout
Price and cause or permit the Refinancable Loan to be released from the lien of
this Indenture in accordance with Section 3.4 (a)(iii) hereof.

                  (d) If PMC or PMCT, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 8
of the Contribution Agreement, or the Issuer, PMC or PMCT, as the case may be,
pursuant to paragraph (a) above, elects to cause one or more Substitute Loans to
be delivered to the Trustee in substitution for any one or more of the original
Loans, any required documentation must be delivered pursuant to paragraph (e)
below. A Substitute Loan must (i) be an Eligible Loan;

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 17
<PAGE>   22

(ii) contractually require interest payments to be made each month in an
aggregate amount at least equal to that of the Deleted Mortgage Loan; and (iii)
have characteristics such that, as of the substitution date (instead of as of
the Closing Date), each of the representations and warranties set forth in
Section 3.2 and Sections 3.1(g) and (h) hereof is true and correct in all
material respects with respect to the Substitute Loan. If the Substitute Loan
has an outstanding Loan Principal Balance (after application of the Monthly
Payment due in the month of substitution) which is less than the Takeout Price
of the Deleted Mortgage Loan(s) (an "ASSET SUBSTITUTION SHORTFALL"), the Person
delivering the Substitute Loan(s) must deposit immediately available funds in
the amount of any such Asset Substitution Shortfall in the Collection Account on
the substitution date. In the case of a substitution pursuant to Section 3.3(a),
the Asset Substitution Shortfall shall include the amounts described in clauses
(ii), (iii) and (iv) of the definition of Takeout Price.

                  (e) In connection with any such substitution, on the
substitution date, PMC, PMCT or the Issuer, as the case may be, shall deliver to
the Trustee (i) each Substitute Loan to be delivered on such date and (ii) the
amount of any Asset Substitution Shortfall relating to the Substitute Loan. In
addition, on the substitution date, PMC, PMCT or the Issuer, as the case may be,
shall deliver the related Trustee Loan File to the Trustee and the Servicer Loan
File to the Servicer with respect to each Substitute Loan.

                  (f) Upon such purchase or substitution, the Trustee shall
deliver to the Person purchasing the Loans or delivering the Substitute Loans,
the related Deleted Mortgage Loans and shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect
the deletion of the Deleted Mortgage Loans and, if applicable, the addition of
the Substitute Loans and shall release the Deleted Mortgage Loans from the lien
of this Indenture by executing and delivering to such Person the release in the
form of Exhibit E attached hereto.

                  (g) Pursuant to the Servicing Agreement, the applicable
Servicer shall prepare any instruments necessary for transfers pursuant to this
Section.

                  (h) Substitute Loans may not be delivered (and Defective Loans
may not be purchased) pursuant to this Section 3.3 on any date which is a
Determination Date.

         3.4 RELEASE AND EXCHANGE OF LOANS. (a) The Trustee shall not release
and discharge any Loan from the lien of this Indenture until the principal of
and interest on the Notes shall have been paid or duly provided for under this
Indenture except as follows:

hereof;

                           (ii) upon any Servicer's request provided that the
conditions to release have been met pursuant to Sections 3.10 and 4.4 of the
Servicing Agreement; and

                           (iii) on each Payment Date, the Trustee shall release
all Charged-Off Loans and all Refinancable Loans from the lien of this Indenture
and deliver to the Issuer the deleted Charged-Off Loans and Refinancable Loans;
provided, however, that the Trustee shall release any Charged-Off Loan or
Refinancable Loan from the lien of this Indenture only if (x) there exists no
Funds Retention Event, (y) all outstanding amounts due and payable with respect
to the Charged-Off Loan or Refinancable Loan have been paid to the Noteholders
as

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 18
<PAGE>   23

Required Principal Payments or the Takeout Price has been paid for the
Charged-Off Loan or Refinancable Loan or a Substitute Loan has been substituted
for the Charged-Off Loan, and (z) the amount on deposit in the Spread Account
after giving effect to such proposed release is at least equal to the Specified
Spread Account Requirement.

                  (b) The Trustee shall release a Loan from the lien of this
Indenture by executing and delivering a release in the form of Exhibit E hereto,
to the Issuer with respect to such Loan. Upon release from the lien of this
Indenture, the Issuer simultaneously shall distribute to its partners, or
otherwise dispose of, any Loan released pursuant to this Section 3.4. Upon
release from the lien of this Indenture, the Trustee shall amend the Loan
Schedule to reflect the deletion of the Loans.

                  (c) Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee shall, without the
consent of the Holders of 100% of the principal amount of the Notes Outstanding,
sell or otherwise dispose of the Loans as a whole after the Closing Date.

         4.1 OPTIONAL REDEMPTION OF THE NOTES. The Notes are subject to

                              INVESTMENT OF MONEYS

         Any moneys held as part of any fund or account shall be invested and
reinvested in Eligible Investments by the Trustee at the written direction of
the Servicers; provided, however, in the event that the Servicers at any time
fail to give or confirm such direction to the Trustee, the Servicers shall be
deemed to have directed the Trustee in writing to invest any moneys held as part
of any fund or account and not already invested in Eligible Investments, in a
money market fund meeting the requirements of clause (vi) of the definition of
"Eligible Investments." With respect to each investment made by the Trustee, the
Trustee shall make such investment in its name as Trustee and take such action
as shall be required from time to time to accomplish the transfer to the Trustee
the ownership thereof and all income thereon and all proceeds thereof, in good
faith and free and clear of any adverse claim. All such investments shall at all
times be a part of the fund or account from whence the moneys used to acquire
such investments shall have come, and all income and profits on such investments
shall be first used to offset any investment losses in such fund, and then shall
be credited as provided in Article VI. All Eligible Investments shall mature no
later than the day prior to the next Payment Date, provided that any investments
in money market funds may mature on the applicable Payment Date. The Trustee
shall sell and reduce to cash a sufficient amount of such investments in the
respective fund or account whenever the cash balance therein is insufficient to
pay the amounts contemplated to be paid therefrom. The Trustee shall have no
liability or responsibility for the selection of investments or for any loss
resulting from any investment made in accordance with the provisions of this
Article VII. The Trustee shall have no liability with respect to losses incurred
as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated maturity or
the failure of the Servicers to provide timely written investment directions.
The Trustee shall not be liable for any investment made in accordance with the
directions of the Servicers or for keeping the funds fully invested at all
times, provided that the Trustee invests funds in a non-negligent manner in
accordance with this Article VII and the Servicers' directions.

writing as shall be requisite to cancel and discharge the lien hereof, and

Partner's or the Issuer's assets and the General Partner or the Issuer, as
applicable, shall fail to take appropriate action resulting in the withdrawal or
dismissal of such proceeding within ninety (90) days or there shall be appointed
or the General Partner or the Issuer shall consent to, or acquiesce in, the
appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official
in respect of the General Partner or the Issuer or the whole or any substantial
part of its properties or assets or the General Partner or the Issuer shall take
any corporate action in furtherance of any of the foregoing;

                  (h) the existence of any Event of Default by PMC or PMCT under
the Contribution Agreement, any Servicer Default under the Servicing Agreement
if the Servicer is PMC and/or PMCT or an Affiliate of PMC, PMCT or the Issuer,
and any Supervisory Servicer Default under the Supervisory Servicer Agreement if
the Supervisory Servicer is PMC, PMCT or an Affiliate of PMC, PMCT or the
Issuer; or

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 32
<PAGE>   37

                  (i) the occurrence of an "event of default" under any other of
the Transaction Documents (other than an "event of default" by the Supervisory
Servicer or a Servicer Default if the Servicer is not an Affiliate of the
Issuer), after the satisfaction of any applicable notice provisions and the
expiration of any applicable cure periods.

         The Trustee shall give written notice to the Noteholders, the Rating
Agency and the U.S. Small Business Administration of any Event of Default within
five days after the Trustee has actual knowledge of such Event of Default.

         9.2 REMEDIES; RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Trustee, upon the request of the Required Noteholders shall, pursue
any available remedy at law or in equity to enforce the payment of the principal
of and interest on the Notes then outstanding and all other amounts due and
owing under the Transaction Documents, including enforcement of any rights of
the Issuer under the Transaction Documents, Loans and any documents or
instruments related thereto.

         If an Event of Default described in Section 9.1(g) occurs, the
principal of all the Notes and all accrued and unpaid interest thereon shall
become immediately due and payable. The Trustee shall provide notice in writing
of such Event of Default to the Noteholders, the Servicer and the Supervisory
Servicer.

         If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing and if the Required
Noteholders have requested the Trustee to accelerate the Notes, the Trustee
shall declare the principal of all the Notes to be immediately due and payable,
by a notice in writing to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Servicer and the
Supervisory Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the Noteholders), and upon
any such declaration such principal and accrued and unpaid interest shall become
immediately due and payable.

         If an Event of Default shall have occurred, and if indemnified as
provided in Section 10.1(p) hereof, the Trustee shall, if directed in writing by
the Required Noteholders, be obligated to exercise one or more of the rights and
powers conferred by this Article IX, as the Trustee shall be directed by the
Required Noteholders.

         No remedy by the terms of this Indenture conferred upon or reserved to
the Trustee (or to the Noteholders) is intended to be exclusive of any other
remedy, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to any other remedy given to the Trustee or to the Noteholders of the
Notes hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute.

         No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing upon any
Event of Default shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to
be a waiver of any such Event of Default or acquiescence therein; and every such
right and power may be exercised from time to time as often as may be deemed
expedient.

         No waiver of any Event of Default hereunder, whether by the Trustee or
by the Noteholders, shall extend to or shall affect any subsequent Event of
Default or shall impair any rights or remedies consequent thereon.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 33
<PAGE>   38

         9.3 RIGHT OF NOTEHOLDERS TO DIRECT PROCEEDINGS. Anything in this
Indenture to the contrary notwithstanding, the Required Noteholders shall have
the right, at any time, by an instrument or instruments in writing executed and
delivered to the Trustee, to direct the method and place of conducting all
proceedings to be taken in connection with the enforcement of the terms and
conditions of this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or any other
proceedings hereunder or thereunder; provided that such direction shall not be
otherwise than in accordance with the provisions of law and of this Indenture.

         9.4 APPOINTMENT OF RECEIVERS. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, and upon the filing of a suit or other commencement of judicial
proceedings to enforce the rights of the Trustee and of the Noteholders under
this Indenture, the Trustee shall be entitled, as a matter of right, to the
appointment of a receiver or receivers of the Trust Estate and of the revenues,
issues, earnings, income, products and profits thereof, pending such
proceedings, with such powers as the court making such appointment shall confer.

         9.5 APPLICATION OF MONEYS. All moneys received by the Trustee pursuant
to any right given or action taken under the provisions of this Article shall,
after payment of any fees and expenses, including any extraordinary fees and
expenses, due and payable to the Trustee and the Supervisory Servicer hereunder
or under the Servicing Agreement or the Supervisory Servicing Agreement, be
deposited in the Collection Account and all moneys in the Collection Account
(other than moneys held for redemption of the Notes duly called for redemption)
shall be applied as follows:

                  FIRST--To the payment to the Persons entitled thereto of all
interest then due on the Notes, in the order of the maturity of such interest,
with interest on unpaid principal and, to the extent permitted by applicable
law, accrued interest at the Default Rate to the extent such amount has not been
distributed to the Noteholders when due, and, if the amount available shall not
be sufficient to pay in full said amount, then to the payment ratably, according
to the amounts due to the Persons entitled thereto, without any discrimination
or privilege;
                  SECOND-- To the payment to the Persons entitled thereto of any
unpaid principal of the Notes which shall have become due in order of maturity
and, if the amount available shall not be sufficient to pay in full such
principal due on any particular date, then to the payment ratably, according to
the amount of principal due on such date, to the Persons entitled thereto
without any discrimination or privilege;

                  THIRD--To be held for the payment to the Persons entitled
thereto as the same shall become due.

         Whenever moneys are to be applied pursuant to the provisions of this
Section, such moneys shall be applied at such times, and from time to time, as
the Trustee shall determine, having due regard for the amount of such moneys
available for application and the likelihood of additional moneys becoming
available for such application in the future. Whenever the Trustee shall apply
such funds, it shall fix the date upon which such application is to be made. The
Trustee shall give such notice as it may deem appropriate of the deposit with it
of any such moneys and of the fixing of any such date.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 34
<PAGE>   39

         Whenever all principal of and interest on all Notes and all other
amounts due and owing hereunder and under the Notes have been paid under the
provisions of this Section, any balance remaining in the Collection Account and
the Spread Account shall be released to the Issuer.

         9.6 REMEDIES VESTED IN TRUSTEE. All rights of action (including the
right to file proof of claims) under this Indenture or under any of the Notes
may be enforced by the Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the
production thereof in any trial or other proceeding related thereto and any such
suit or proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall be brought in its name as the
Trustee without the necessity of joining as plaintiffs or defendants any Holder
of the Notes, and any recovery of judgment shall be for the equal and ratable
benefit of the Holders of the Outstanding Notes.

         9.7 RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF NOTEHOLDERS. No Holder of any Note shall
have any right to institute any suit, action or proceeding at law or in equity
for the enforcement of this Indenture or for the execution of any trust hereof
or for the appointment of a receiver or any other remedy hereunder or
thereunder, unless (a) an Event of Default has occurred of which the Trustee has
been notified by such Holder as provided in Section 10.1(l) hereof, or of which
by said subsection it is deemed to have notice, (b) the Holders of not less than
25% of the Outstanding Note Amount shall have given written notice to the
Trustee and shall have offered it reasonable opportunity either to proceed to
exercise the powers herein before granted or to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in their own name or names, (c) Noteholders have offered to the
Trustee indemnity as provided in Section 10.1(p) hereof, and (d) the Trustee
shall thereafter fail or refuse to exercise the powers herein before granted
within thirty (30) days thereafter, or to institute such action, suit or
proceeding in its own name; and such notification, request and offer of
indemnity are hereby declared in every case at the option of the Trustee to be
conditions precedent to the execution of the powers and trusts of this
Indenture, and to any action or cause of action for the enforcement of this
Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or for any other remedy
hereunder or thereunder; it being understood and intended that no one or more
Holders of the Notes shall have any right in any manner whatsoever to affect,
disturb or prejudice the lien of this Indenture by its, his or their action or
to enforce any right hereunder except in the manner herein provided, and that
all proceedings at law or in equity shall be instituted, had and maintained in
the manner herein provided and for the equal and ratable benefit of the Holders
of all Notes Outstanding. However, nothing contained in this Indenture shall
affect or impair the right of any Noteholder to enforce the payment of the
principal of and interest on any Note at and after the Maturity Date thereof, or
the obligation of the Issuer to pay the principal of and interest on each of the
Notes issued hereunder to the respective Holders thereof at the time, place,
from the source and in the manner in the Notes expressed.

         9.8 TERMINATION OF PROCEEDINGS. In case the Trustee shall have
proceeded to enforce any right under this Indenture by the appointment of a
receiver or otherwise, and such proceedings shall have been discontinued or
abandoned for any reason, or shall have been determined adversely, then and in
every such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to
their former positions and rights hereunder and thereunder, respectively, with
regard to the property herein subject to this Indenture, and all rights,
remedies and powers of the Trustee shall continue as if no such proceedings had
been taken.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 35
<PAGE>   40

         9.9 WAIVERS OF EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Trustee may waive any Event of
Default that has been remedied and any Event of Default (and its consequences)
relating to a default in the performance or observance of any covenant,
agreement or condition contained in the Indenture, or a breach of a
representation or warranty made by the Issuer in the Indenture or in any
certificate or report furnished under the Indenture, or the occurrence of any
"event of default" under the contracts and related documents governing the
transfer and servicing of the Loans and other matters relating to the issuance
of the Notes. The Trustee may waive any other Event of Default that has occurred
and is continuing only upon the written request of the Required Noteholders;
provided, however, that there shall not be waived (x) any Event of Default in
the payment of the principal of any outstanding Notes when due or (y) any
default in the payment when due of the interest on any such Notes unless, prior
to such waiver or rescission, all arrears of interest or all arrears of payments
of principal when due, with interest on overdue principal and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, interest at the Default Rate, and all expenses of
the Trustee in connection with such Event of Default shall have been paid or
provided for, and in case of any such waiver or rescission, or in case any
proceedings taken by the Trustee on account of any such Event of Default shall
have been discontinued or abandoned or determined adversely, then and in every
such case the Issuer, the Trustee and the Noteholders shall be restored to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no such waiver or
rescission shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereon. Any waivers made by the Trustee pursuant to this
Section shall be in writing and shall specify the nature of the Event of Default
and the effective date of the waiver and the Trustee shall send a copy of all
such waivers to the Noteholders and the Rating Agency.

                                   ARTICLE X

                                     TRUSTEE

         10.1 ACCEPTANCE OF THE TRUSTS. The Trustee hereby accepts the trusts
imposed upon it by this Indenture, and agrees to perform said trusts and to
continue to perform, provided that the Trustee may, in accordance with Section
10.6 hereof, exercise its right to resign from the trusts created hereby; and
provided further that the acceptance by the Trustee of the trusts imposed under
this Indenture and the agreement to perform said trusts are subject to the
following express terms and conditions:

                  (a) The Trustee agrees to accept receipt, subject to review as
stated herein, of the Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate and declares
that it holds and will hold the Loans and other assets in the Trust Estate in
trust for the benefit of the Noteholders.

                  (b) The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default and after the curing of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set
forth in this Indenture, and no implied duties shall be read into this Indenture
against the Trustee. In case an Event of Default has occurred (which has not
been cured or waived), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Indenture, and use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 36
<PAGE>   41

                  (c) The Trustee shall not be liable for its acts or omissions
in carrying out its duties hereunder, except for its own negligence or willful
misconduct. The Trustee shall not be liable for any error of judgment made in
good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee
was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

                  (d) The Trustee shall not be liable with respect to any action
taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the
directions of the Required Noteholders relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee under this Indenture.

                  (e) No provision of this Indenture shall require the Trustee
to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any 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 for believing that
repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is
not reasonably assured to it.

                  (f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder and perform any of its duties hereunder either directly or by or
through agents or attorneys or a custodian or nominee and the Trustee shall not
be responsible for any misconduct or negligence on the part of any such party
appointed in good faith with due care by it hereunder. The Trustee may consult
with counsel, including Issuer's counsel, concerning all matters of trusts
hereof and the duties hereunder, and may in all cases pay such reasonable
compensation to all such attorneys, agents, receivers and employees as may
reasonably be employed in connection with the trusts hereof. The Trustee may act
or refrain from acting upon the opinion or advice of any attorneys approved by
the Trustee in the exercise of reasonable care. The Trustee shall not be
responsible for any loss or damage resulting from any action or inaction in good
faith in reliance upon such opinion or advice.

                  (g) The recitals contained herein and in the Notes, other than
the certificate of authentication, shall be taken as statements of the Issuer,
and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee
makes no representation as to the validity or sufficiency of this Indenture or
of the Notes or of any Loans or related document. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Issuer of any of the proceeds of
any of the Notes, or for the use or application of any funds deposited in or
withdrawn from the Collection Account or the Spread Account or any other account
by or on behalf of the Issuer. The Trustee shall not be responsible for the
accuracy or content of any resolution, certificate, statement, opinion, report,
document, order or other instrument furnished by the Issuer and accepted by the
Trustee in good faith, pursuant to this Indenture. The Trustee shall have no
duty to monitor the performance of the Issuer and Servicers, nor shall it have
any liability in connection with the malfeasance or nonfeasance by the Issuer
and Servicers except for its obligations under the Supervisory Servicing
Agreement; provided, however, if the Trustee has assumed the role of a Servicer
it shall be liable for its own malfeasance or nonfeasance in acting as Servicer.
The Trustee shall have no liability in connection with compliance by the Issuer
and Servicers with statutory or regulatory requirements related to the Indenture
and the Notes.

                  (h) The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use of any
Notes authenticated or delivered hereunder. The Trustee may in good faith buy,
sell, own and hold any of the Notes and

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 37
<PAGE>   42

may join in any action which any Holder of Notes may be entitled to take with
like effect as if the Trustee were not a party to this Indenture. The Trustee
may also engage in or be interested in any financial or other transaction with
the Issuer or any Holder, provided that if the Trustee determines that any such
relationship is in conflict with its duties under this Indenture, it shall
eliminate the conflict or resign as the Trustee.

                  (i) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting to the extent such action or inaction is directed by any
notice, request, consent, certificate, order, affidavit, letter, telegram or
other paper or document believed to be genuine and correct and to have been
signed or sent by the proper person or persons. Any action taken by the Trustee
pursuant to this Indenture upon the request or authority or consent of any
person who at the time of making such request or giving such authority or
consent is the Holder of any Note, shall be conclusive and binding upon all
future Holders of the same Note and upon Notes issued in exchange therefor or in
place thereof.

                  (j) As to the existence or nonexistence of any fact or as to
the sufficiency or validity of any instrument, paper or proceeding, the Trustee
shall be entitled to rely upon a certificate signed by an Authorized Officer of
the Issuer as sufficient evidence of the facts therein contained and prior to
the occurrence of an Event of Default of which the Trustee has been notified as
provided in subsection (l) of this Section, or of which by said subsection it is
deemed to have notice, shall also be at liberty to accept a similar certificate
to the effect that any particular dealing, transaction or action is necessary or
expedient, but may, at its discretion, secure such further evidence deemed
necessary or advisable, but shall in no case be bound to secure the same. The
Trustee may accept a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer to the
effect that a resolution in the form therein set forth has been adopted by the
Issuer as conclusive evidence that such resolution has been duly adopted, and is
in full force and effect.

                  (k) The permissive right of the Trustee to do things
enumerated in this Indenture shall not be construed as a duty and it shall not
be answerable for other than its negligence or willful misconduct.

                  (l) The Trustee shall not be required to take or be charged
with notice or be deemed to have notice of any Event of Default hereunder,
except any Event of Default described in Sections 9.1(a) and (b) or the failure
of the Issuer to file with the Trustee any document required by this Indenture,
or of the Servicers to file with the Trustee any document required by the
Servicing Agreement to be so filed subsequent to the issuance of the Notes,
unless the Trustee shall be specifically notified in writing of such Event of
Default by the Issuer, the Servicers, the Supervisory Servicer or any Holder,
and all notices or other instruments required by this Indenture to be delivered
to the Trustee must, in order to be effective, be delivered at the Corporate
Trust Office of the Trustee, and, in the absence of such delivery, the Trustee
may conclusively assume there is no Event of Default except as aforesaid.

                  (m) At any and all reasonable times the Trustee, and its duly
authorized agents, attorneys, experts, engineers, accountants and
representatives, shall have the right fully to inspect any and all of the
property herein conveyed, including all books, papers and records of the Issuer
and the Servicers pertaining to the revenues and receipts under the Loans and
the Underlying Notes, and to take such notes from and in regard thereto as may
be desired.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 38
<PAGE>   43

                  (n) The Trustee shall not be required to give any bond or
surety in respect of the execution of the said trusts and powers or otherwise in
respect of the premises.

                  (o) Notwithstanding anything elsewhere in this Indenture
contained, the Trustee shall have the right, but shall not be required, to
demand, in respect of the authentication of any Notes, the withdrawal of any
cash, or any action whatsoever within the purview of this Indenture, any
showings, certificates, opinions, appraisals or other information, or corporate
action or evidence thereof, in addition to that by the terms hereof required as
a condition of such action by the Trustee deemed desirable for the purpose of
establishing the right of the Issuer to the authentication of any Notes, the
withdrawal of any cash, or the taking of any other action by the Trustee.

                  (p) Before taking the action referred to in Article IX hereof,
the Trustee may require that a satisfactory indemnity bond be furnished for the
reimbursement of all expenses to which the Trustee may be put and to protect it
against all liability, except liability which is adjudicated to have resulted
from its negligence or willful misconduct by reason of any action so taken.

                  (q) All moneys received by the Trustee or any Paying Agent
shall, until used or applied or invested as herein provided, be held in trust
for the purposes for which they were received and shall be segregated from other
funds and accounts and not commingled with any other funds.

         10.2 FEES, CHARGES AND EXPENSES OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee shall be
entitled to payment and reimbursement for the Trustee's Fee and all reasonable
counsel fees and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by the Trustee
to third parties in connection with such services from moneys available therefor
in accordance with the priority set forth in Section 6.4 hereof and the Trustee
shall have the first lien with right of payment prior to payment on any Note
upon the Trust Estate for the amount of the Trustee's Fee. The Trustee shall
have no claims against the Trust Estate for amounts owed to it hereunder other
than as specified above. The Issuer agrees to indemnify and hold the Trustee and
its officers, directors, agents and employees harmless from any loss, claim,
demand, liability or expense (including, without limitation, fees and expenses
of its attorneys) arising from or related to the acceptance of and performance
of its duties under this Indenture which do not result from the Trustee's
negligence or willful misconduct. This Section 10.2 shall survive the
termination of this Indenture or resignation or removal of the Trustee. Such
indemnity shall not be payable from the Trust Estate, except as provided in
Section 6.4, and the Trustee shall not institute any legal action, including a
bankruptcy proceeding against the Issuer to enforce such indemnity while the
Notes are outstanding.

         10.3 NOTICE TO NOTEHOLDERS IF DEFAULT OCCURS. If an Event of Default
occurs of which the Trustee is by Section 10.1(l) hereof required to take notice
or if notice of an Event of Default shall be or is given as in Section 10.1(l)
hereof provided, then the Trustee shall promptly, and in any event, within two
Business Days, give written notice thereof by overnight mail to the Holders of
all Notes Outstanding, shown by the list of Noteholders required by Section 2.9
hereof to be kept at the office of the Trustee.

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 39
<PAGE>   44

         10.4 INTERVENTION BY TRUSTEE. In any judicial proceeding concerning the
issuance or the payment of the Notes to which the Issuer is a party and which in
the opinion of the Trustee and its counsel has a substantial bearing on the
interests of the Holders of the Notes, the Trustee may intervene on behalf of
Noteholders and shall do so if requested in writing by the owners of at least
25% of the Outstanding Note Amount, subject to receipt of satisfactory indemnity
as contemplated by Section 10.1(p).

         10.5 MERGER OR CONSOLIDATION OF TRUSTEE. Any corporation or association
into which the Trustee may be converted or merged, or with which it may be
consolidated, or to which it may sell or transfer its trust business and assets
as a whole or substantially as a whole, or any corporation or association
resulting from any such conversion, sale, merger, consolidation or transfer to
which it is a party, ipso facto, shall be and become successor Trustee hereunder
and vested with all of the title to the Trust Estate and all the trusts, powers,
discretions, immunities, privileges and all other matters as was its
predecessor, without the execution or filing of any instrument or any further
act, deed or conveyance on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided such successor Trustee accepts
the duties and responsibilities hereunder and is eligible pursuant to Section
10.9.

         10.6 RESIGNATION BY TRUSTEE. The Trustee and any successor Trustee may
at any time resign from the trusts hereby created by giving sixty (60) days'
written notice by registered or certified mail to the Issuer, the Servicers, the
Supervisory Servicer, the Noteholders, the Rating Agency and by first-class mail
(postage prepaid) to the Holders of the Notes and such resignation shall take
effect upon the appointment of a successor Trustee by the Issuer pursuant to
Section 10.8 and in accordance with Section 10.9 hereof. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Issuer shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
approved by the Servicers, the Supervisory Servicer and the Required Noteholders
such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. If no successor
Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within sixty
(60) days of the mailing of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee
may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a
successor Trustee. Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it
may deem proper and prescribed, appoint a successor Trustee.

         10.7 REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE. The Trustee may be removed at any time, by the
Issuer, provided no Event of Default then exists and is continuing, by an
instrument or concurrent instruments in writing delivered to the Trustee, the
Supervisory Servicer, the Rating Agency, and the Noteholders.

         10.8 APPOINTMENT OF SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE; TEMPORARY TRUSTEE. In case the
Trustee hereunder shall resign or be removed, or be dissolved, or shall be in
course of dissolution or liquidation, or otherwise become incapable of acting
hereunder, or in case it shall be taken under the control of any public officer
or officers, or of a receiver appointed by a court, a successor may be appointed
by the Issuer with the consent of the Required Noteholders not to be
unreasonably withheld by an instrument in writing signed by the Issuer and a
copy of which shall be delivered personally or sent by registered mail to the
Noteholders. Nevertheless, in case of such vacancy, the Issuer by resolution may
appoint a temporary Trustee to fill such vacancy until a successor Trustee shall
be appointed in the manner above provided; and any such temporary Trustee so
appointed by the Issuer shall immediately and without further act be superseded
by

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 40
<PAGE>   45

the Trustee so appointed. Notice of the appointment of a successor Trustee shall
be given in the same manner as provided by Section 10.6 hereof with respect to
the resignation of a Trustee; provided in each case any successor Trustee shall
meet the eligibility requirements of Section 10.9.

         10.9 CONCERNING ANY SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE. Every successor Trustee
appointed hereunder shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to its or his
predecessor and also to the Issuer, the Servicers, the Supervisory Servicer, the
Noteholders and the Rating Agency an instrument in writing accepting such
appointment hereunder, and thereupon such successor, without any further act,
deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the estates, properties,
rights, powers, trusts, duties and obligations of its predecessors; but such
predecessor shall, nevertheless, on the written request of the Issuer, or of its
successor, execute and deliver an instrument transferring to such successor
Trustee all the estates, properties, rights, powers and trusts of such
predecessor hereunder; and every predecessor Trustee shall deliver all
securities and moneys held by it as the Trustee hereunder to its or his
successor, including, but not limited to, a transfer of the Loans and the
Trustee Loan Files. Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required
by any successor Trustee for more fully and certainly vesting in such successor
the estate, rights, powers and duties hereby vested or intended to be vested in
the predecessor, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on request, be
executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. The resignation of any
Trustee and the instrument or instruments removing any Trustee and appointing a
successor hereunder, together with all other instruments provided for in this
Article, shall be filed or recorded by the successor Trustee in each recording
office where this Indenture shall have been filed or recorded. Any successor
Trustee shall be required to (i) have corporate trust powers, (ii) have not less
than $100,000,000 in capital and surplus, (iii) be a member of the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation, and (iv) have a long-term unsecured debt rating
from the Rating Agency of at least "Baa3".

         10.10 DESIGNATION AND SUCCESSION OF PAYING AGENTS. The Paying Agent for
the Notes shall be the Trustee. Any bank or trust company with or into which any
Paying Agent may be merged or consolidated, or to which the assets and business
of such Paying Agent may be sold, shall be deemed the successor of such Paying
Agent for the purposes of this Indenture. If the position of Paying Agent shall
become vacant for any reason, the Issuer shall, within thirty (30) days
thereafter, appoint a bank or trust company having corporate trust powers and
having a long-term unsecured debt rating from the Rating Agency of at least
"Baa3" to fill such vacancy; provided, however, that if the Issuer shall fail to
appoint such Paying Agent within said period, the Trustee shall make such
appointment, subject to the foregoing eligibility requirements. Other Paying
Agents or fiscal agents may be appointed pursuant by the Issuer if in its
discretion additional Paying Agents or fiscal agents are deemed advisable.

         The Paying Agents shall enjoy the same protective provisions in the
performance of their duties hereunder as are specified in Section 10.1 hereof
with respect to the Trustee insofar as such provisions may be applicable.

         Notice of the appointment of additional Paying Agents or fiscal agents
shall be given in the same manner as provided by Section 10.8 hereof with
respect to the appointment of a successor Trustee.

         10.11 APPOINTMENT OF CO-TRUSTEE. It is the purpose of this Indenture
that there shall be no violation of any law of any jurisdiction denying or
restricting the right of banking corporations or associations to transact
business as the Trustee in such jurisdiction. It is recognized that, in case of
litigation under this Indenture, the Loans and, in particular, in case of the
enforcement thereof on default, or in case the Trustee deems that by reason of
any present or future law of any jurisdiction it may not exercise any of the
powers, rights or remedies herein granted to the Trustee or hold title to the
properties, in trust, as herein granted, or take any other action which may be
desirable or necessary in connection therewith, it may be necessary that the
Trustee appoint an additional individual or institution as a separate or
Co-Trustee.

         Therefore, the Trustee shall have the right to appoint one or more
persons to act as its Co-Trustee or Co-Trustees, jointly with the Trustee, of
all or any part of the Trust Estate, and to vest in such person or persons, in
such capacity, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part thereof, and, subject
to the other provisions of this Section 10.11, such powers, duties, obligation,
rights and trusts as the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.

         Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the Co-Trustees, as effectively as if given
to each of them. Every instrument appointing any Co-Trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument or appointment, either jointly with the 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 Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

         Any Co-Trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or
attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by
law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf
and in its name. If any Co-Trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign
or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall
vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without
the appointment of a new or successor Trustee. No Co-Trustee shall be required
to satisfy the eligibility requirements for a successor Trustee set forth in
Section 10.9 hereunder and no notice to the Noteholders of the appointment of a
Co-Trustee shall be required.

         In the event that the Trustee appoints an additional individual or
institution as a separate or Co-Trustee, each and every remedy, power, right,
claim, demand, cause of action, immunity, estate, title, interest and lien
expressed or intended by this Indenture to be exercised by or vested in or
conveyed to the Trustee with respect thereto shall be exercisable by and vest in
such separate or Co-Trustee but only to the extent necessary to enable such
separate or Co-Trustee to exercise such powers, rights and remedies, and every
covenant and obligation necessary to the exercise thereof by such separate or
Co-Trustee shall run to and be enforceable by either of them.

         Should any instrument in writing from the Issuer be required by the
separate or Co-Trustee so appointed by the Trustee for more fully and certainly
vesting in and confirming to him or it such properties, rights, powers, trusts,
duties and obligations, any and all such instruments in writing shall, on
request, be executed, acknowledged and delivered by the Issuer. In case any
separate or Co-Trustee, or a successor to either, shall die, become incapable of
acting, resign or be removed, all the estates, properties, rights, powers,
trusts, duties and obligations of such

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 42
<PAGE>   47

separate or Co-Trustee, so far as permitted by law, shall vest in and be
exercised by the Trustee until the appointment of a new Trustee or successor to
such separate or Co-Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE XI

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

         11.1 SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES; CONSENT OF NOTEHOLDERS. (a) The Issuer
and the Trustee may, with notice to all of the Noteholders and the Rating
Agency, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to this Indenture for
the following purposes:

                           (1) To specify and determine any matters and things
         relative to the Notes which are not contrary to or inconsistent with
         this Indenture and which shall not materially adversely affect the
         interests of the Noteholders;

                           (2) To cure any defect, omission, conflict, or
         ambiguity in this Indenture or between the terms and provisions hereof
         and any other document executed or delivered in connection herewith;

                           (3) To grant to or confer upon the Trustee for the
         benefit of the Noteholders any additional rights, remedies, powers,
         authority, or security which may lawfully be granted or conferred and
         which are not contrary to or inconsistent with this Indenture as
         theretofore in effect;

                           (4) To add to the covenants and agreements of the
         Issuer in this Indenture other covenants and agreements to be observed
         by the Issuer which are not contrary to or inconsistent with this
         Indenture as theretofore in effect;

                           (5) To add to the limitations and restrictions in
         this Indenture other limitations and restrictions to be observed by the
         Issuer which are not contrary to or inconsistent with this Indenture as
         theretofore in effect;

                           (6) To confirm, as further assurance, any pledge
         under, and the subjection to any claim, lien or pledge created or to be
         created by this Indenture of the revenues arising from the pledge of
         any moneys, securities, funds or other parts of the Trust Estate;

                           (7) To amend or modify any provisions of this
         Indenture required by the Rating Agency to maintain the rating of the
         Notes; or

                           (8) To amend or modify any provisions of this
         Indenture, so long as such amendment or modification does not
         materially adversely affect the interests of the Noteholders (which may
         be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Trustee).

                  (b) The Issuer and the Trustee may, with the consent of the
Required Noteholders and notice to all of the Noteholders and the Rating Agency,
enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental to this Indenture for
purposes other than those specified in Section

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 43
<PAGE>   48

11.1(a); provided, however, that nothing contained in this Section shall permit,
or be construed as permitting, without the consent of the Holders of all Notes
Outstanding, any change of the Maturity Date or other due date of the principal
of or any installment of the interest on any Note issued hereunder, or a
reduction in the principal amount of any Note or the Applicable Remittance Rate
or Default Rate thereon, or a privilege or priority of any Note or Notes over
any other Note or Notes, a reduction in the Outstanding Note Amount required for
consent to such supplemental indenture or for any waiver of compliance with the
provisions of this Indenture or Events of Default and their consequences, any
modification of this Section 11.1(b) or Section 11.1(c) or any modification of
this Indenture that would cause the Rating Agency to downgrade the rating of the
Notes unless the Noteholders have unanimously consented to such modification and
downgrade.

                  (c) With respect to each supplemental indenture, the Trustee
shall be provided a certificate of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer and, if
requested by the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the
supplemental indenture is duly authorized under this Article XI and all
conditions to its entry have been satisfied, and the Trustee shall be fully
protected in its execution and delivery of the supplemental indenture in
reliance on such certificate and, if requested, by the Trustee, such opinion. If
at any time the Issuer shall request the Trustee to enter into any such
supplemental indenture for any of the purposes of Section 11.1(b), the Trustee
shall, upon being satisfactorily indemnified with respect to expenses, cause
notice of the proposed execution of such supplemental indenture to be mailed by
registered or certified mail to each Holder of a Note as shown on the list of
Noteholders required by Section 2.9 hereof. Such notice shall briefly set forth
the nature of the proposed supplemental indenture and shall include a copy of
the proposed supplemental indenture. If, within sixty (60) days or such longer
period as shall be prescribed by the Issuer following the final distribution of
such notice, the Required Noteholders at the time of the execution of any such
supplemental indenture shall have consented to and approved the execution
thereof as herein provided (other than where a unanimous consent is required as
described above), no owner of any Note shall have any right to object to any of
the terms and provisions contained herein, or the operation thereof, or in any
manner to question the propriety of the execution thereof, or to enjoin or
restrain the Trustee or the Issuer from executing the same or from taking any
action pursuant to the provisions thereof. Upon the execution of any
supplemental indenture as in this Section permitted and provided, this Indenture
shall be and be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance therewith.

         11.2 NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. The Trustee shall provide a
copy of any Supplemental Indenture executed to each of the Servicers, the
Supervisory Servicer, the Noteholders and the Rating Agency.

         11.3 AMENDMENTS TO TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS. The Trustee may not enter
into or consent to an amendment to any other Transaction Document, except as
expressly permitted therein, without the consent of the Required Noteholders.

                                  ARTICLE XII
                                  MISCELLANEOUS

         12.1 CONSENTS, ETC., OF NOTEHOLDERS. Any consent, request, direction,
approval, objection or other instrument required by this Indenture to be signed
and executed by the

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 44
<PAGE>   49

Noteholders may be in any number of concurrent writings of similar tenor and may
be signed or executed by such Noteholders in person or by agent thereof
appointed in writing. Proof of the execution of any such consent, request,
direction, approval, objection or other instrument or of the writing appointing
any such agent and of the ownership of Notes, if made in the following manner,
shall be sufficient for any of the purposes of this Indenture, and shall be
conclusive in favor of the Trustee and any Paying Agent with regard to any
action taken by it under such request or other instrument, namely:

                  (a) The fact and date of the execution by any person of any
such writing may be proved by the certificate of any officer in any jurisdiction
who by law has power to take acknowledgments within such jurisdiction that the
person signing such writing acknowledged before him the execution thereof, or by
an affidavit of any witness to such execution.

                  (b) The fact of ownership of Notes and the amount or amounts,
numbers and other identification of Notes, and the date of holding the same
shall be proved by the registration books of the Issuer maintained by the
Trustee pursuant to Section 2.9 hereof.

         12.2 LIMITATION OF RIGHTS. With the exception of rights herein
expressly conferred, nothing expressed or mentioned in or to be implied from
this Indenture or the Notes is intended or shall be construed to give to any
Person other than the parties hereto, and the Holders of the Notes, any legal or
equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect to this Indenture or any
covenants, conditions and provisions herein contained; this Indenture and all of
the covenants, conditions and provisions hereof being intended to be and being
for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and the Holders of the
Notes as herein provided.

         12.3 SEVERABILITY. If any one or more of the covenants, agreements,
provisions or terms of this Indenture shall be held invalid for any reason
whatsoever, then such covenants, agreements, provisions or terms shall be deemed
severable from the remaining covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this
Indenture and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of the other
covenants, agreements, provisions or terms of this Indenture. The parties hereto
further agree that the holding by any court of competent jurisdiction that any
remedy pursued by the Trustee hereunder is unavailable or unenforceable shall
not affect in any way the ability of the Trustee to pursue any other remedy
available to it.

         12.4 NOTICES. Any notice, request, complaint, demand, communication or
other paper shall be in writing and sufficiently given if addressed to the
appropriate Notice Address and delivered by hand delivery or sent by nationally
recognized express courier, or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, or
transmitted by telecopy and shall be effective upon receipt, except when
telecopied, in which case, any such communication shall be effective upon
telecopy against receipt of answer back or written confirmation thereof. The
Issuer and the Trustee may, by notice given hereunder, designate any further or
different addresses to which subsequent notices, certificates or other
communications shall be sent.

         12.5 PAYMENTS DUE ON SATURDAYS, SUNDAYS AND HOLIDAYS. In any case where

Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the due date or the
date fixed for redemption.

         12.6 COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture may be simultaneously executed in
several counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which shall
constitute but one and the same instrument.

REGISTERED HOLDER:

PRINCIPAL SUM: $[         ]

         PMC JOINT VENTURE, L.P. 2001, a Delaware limited partnership (herein
called the "ISSUER"), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the
registered owner identified above or registered assigns (the "HOLDER" or
"NOTEHOLDER"), on or before the Maturity Date set forth above (subject to any
right of prior payment hereinafter mentioned), the principal sum identified
above in lawful money of the United States of America, and to pay interest
thereon in like money, until payment of such principal sum, as set forth herein.
Pursuant to the terms of the Trust Indenture dated as of June 26, 2001 (as the
same may be amended and supplemented, the

TRUST INDENTURE - Page 1
<PAGE>   53

"INDENTURE") between the Issuer and BNY Midwest Trust Company, as Trustee (the
"TRUSTEE"), the Issuer shall pay the Holder on the fifteenth day of each month,
commencing on July 15, 2001 or the date this Note is due upon acceleration and
ending on the Maturity Date set forth above (each such date herein called a
"PAYMENT DATE"), the Principal Distribution Amount (as defined in the Indenture)
and accrued interest. To the extent not otherwise defined herein, all
capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the Indenture. This Note
will bear interest at a per annum rate equal to the Applicable Rate (as defined
in the Indenture). The term "INTEREST ACCRUAL PERIOD" means, with respect to a
Payment Date, the period from and including the immediately prior Payment Date
to but excluding the Payment Date first referred to in this definition (or, in
the case of the first Payment Date, from and including the Closing Date to but
excluding the first Payment Date). Principal and interest payments will be made
on each Payment Date from funds on deposit under the Indenture.

         Payments to the Holder shall be made by wire transfer of immediately
available funds to the account of such Noteholder and without presentation of
the Note or the making of any notations thereon.

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of notes of the Issuer
designated as PMC Joint Venture, L.P. 2001 Loan-Backed Fixed Rate Notes (herein
called the "NOTES"), in the initial aggregate principal amount of $75,378,920
issued under and secured by the Indenture. Reference is hereby made to the
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto for a description of the
rights thereunder of the owners of the Notes, of the nature and extent of the
security, of the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee and of the rights
and obligations of the Issuer thereunder, to all of the provisions of which
Indenture the holder of this Note, by acceptance hereof, assents and agrees.

         The Issuer hereby certifies that all of the conditions, things and acts
required to exist, to have happened and to have been performed precedent to and
in the issuance of this Note do exist, have happened and have been performed in
due time, form and manner as required by the applicable laws.

         This Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture, or
become valid or obligatory for any purpose, until the certificate of
authentication hereon endorsed shall have been signed by the Trustee.

         The Notes are issuable only as fully registered Notes without coupons.
Subject to the limitations and upon payment of the charges, if any, provided in
the Indenture, Notes may be exchanged at the principal corporate trust office of
the Trustee for a like aggregate principal amount of Notes of the same series of
other authorized denominations.

         The owner of this Note shall have no right to enforce the provisions of
the Indenture or to institute action to enforce the covenants therein, or to
take any action with respect to any Event of Default under the Indenture, or to
institute, appear in or defend any suit or other proceeding with respect
thereto, except as provided in the Indenture.

         The Notes are subject to redemption on any Payment Date on or after the
date on which the then Outstanding Note Amount is less than 10% of the
Outstanding Note Amount on the Closing Date, in whole, but not in part, at the
option of the Issuer at a redemption price equal to 100% of the Outstanding Note
Amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption at the
then Applicable Remittance Rate.

         If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to
the Notes, and if the Required Noteholders have requested the Trustee to
accelerate the Notes, the Trustee shall declare the outstanding principal of all
the Notes, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to be immediately due and
payable, by a notice in writing to the Issuer, the Noteholders, the Servicers
and the Supervisory Servicer, and upon any such declaration such principal and
interest shall become immediately due and payable. Under certain circumstances
specified in the Indenture, such amounts shall immediately become due and
payable without any such declaration. The Trustee may sell the Trust Estate or
retain the Trust Estate intact, in either case in the manner and with the effect
provided in the Indenture.

         The Indenture permits the amendment thereof and the modification of the
rights and obligations of the Issuer and the rights of Holders of the Notes
under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer with the consent of the Required
Noteholders (as defined in the Indenture) and in certain instances only with the
consent of all Noteholders. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting
Holders of specified percentages in aggregate outstanding principal amount, on
behalf of Holders of all the Notes, to waive compliance by the Issuer with
certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under the
Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of
this Note (or any one or 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 herefor or in lieu
hereof whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note.

         The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee
to execute supplemental indentures adding provisions to, or changing or
eliminating any of the provisions of, the Indenture, subject to the limitations
set forth in the Indenture.

         The term "ISSUER" as used in this Note includes any successor to the
Issuer under the Indenture. This Note is nonrecourse to the Issuer's partners.

         This Note is transferable by the registered owner hereof, in person, or
by its attorney duly authorized in writing, at the Corporate Trust Office of the
Trustee, but only in the manner, subject to the limitations and upon payment of
the charges provided in the Indenture, and upon surrender and cancellation of
this Note. Upon such transfer a new fully registered Note or Notes, of the same
series and of authorized denomination or denominations, for the same aggregate
principal amount, will be issued to the transferee in exchange herefor. The
Issuer and the Trustee may treat the registered owner hereof as the absolute
owner hereof for all purposes, and the Issuer and the Trustee shall not be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

         The Notes are non-recourse obligations of the Issuer and neither the
Trustee nor the Noteholders shall have any rights to enforce the payment or
performance of the Issuer's obligations hereunder or under the Transaction
Documents against the partners of the Issuer or their respective assets. No
officer, agent or employee of the Issuer or of any Affiliate of the Issuer,
shall in any event be subject to any personal liability for any payments or
other amounts due in respect of the Notes or in respect of any obligations of
the parties under any of the Transaction Documents.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, PMC JOINT VENTURE, L.P. 2001 has caused this Note
to be executed in its name by the manual or facsimile signature of the
President, any Executive Vice President or the Chief Financial Officer of its
General Partner and attested by the manual or facsimile signature of the
Secretary or Assistant Secretary of its General Partner, all as of the Issue
Date set forth above.
