                Original Issuance of Certificates; Tax Treatment

         Section 2.01. Acknowledgment; Conveyance of Home Equity Loans; Custody
of Mortgage Files.

         (a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, does hereby irrevocably transfer, assign, sell, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders
without recourse (subject to Sections 2.02 and 2.04) (i) all of its right, title
and interest in and to the unpaid principal balance of each Home Equity Loan and
each Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan, including all Interest Collections

         (b) The Depositor agrees to take, or to cause to be taken, such actions
and to execute such documents (including without limitation the filing of all
necessary continuation statements for the UCC-1 financing statement filed in the
State of Illinois and the State of Delaware, as applicable (which shall have
been filed as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 10 days

Loans and naming the Depositor as seller and the Trustee as buyer, and any
amendments or other filings to the UCC-1 financing statement required to reflect

to any change in the principal office of the Depositor) as are necessary to
perfect and protect the Certificateholders' interests in the Trust created
hereunder, including each Home Equity Loan and the proceeds thereof (other than
delivering to the Trustee possession of the Mortgage Files, which possession
will, subject to the terms hereof, be maintained by the Servicers on behalf of
the Master Servicer as custodian and bailee for the Trustee). The parties hereto
intend that the transactions set forth herein constitute a sale and not a pledge
by the Depositor to the Trust of all the Depositor's right, title and interest
in and to the Home Equity Loans and other Trust property as and to the extent
described above. In the event the transactions set forth herein are
characterized as a pledge and not a sale, the Depositor hereby grants to the
Trustee a security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest
in, to and under the Home Equity Loans and such other Trust property, to secure
all of the Depositor's obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law. With respect to the Home

ten days following the effective date of this Agreement, in the appropriate
public filing office or offices UCC-1 financing statements and continuation
statements describing such Home Equity Loans and naming such Seller as seller
and the Depositor as buyer, to file appropriate continuation statements thereto,
to file amendments thereto in the case of a change in the

                                      -20-
<PAGE>

applicable UCC, name change or change in corporate structure and to file
appropriate additional UCC-1 financing statements, if any, if such Seller
changes its jurisdiction of incorporation.

         (c) In connection with such transfer and assignment by the Depositor
and the Master Servicer, acting through the Servicers, the Trustee and the
Master Servicer hereby acknowledge that the Servicers are holding, with respect
to the Home Equity Loans transferred on the Closing Date, and will hold, with
respect to each Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan, on and from the applicable
Transfer Date, as custodian and bailee for the Trustee, the following documents
or instruments with respect to each such Home Equity Loan (the "Related
Documents"):

              (i) the original Mortgage Note with all intervening endorsements
         showing a complete chain of title from the originator of such Home
         Equity Loan to the Seller or a copy of such original Mortgage Note with
         an accompanying lost note affidavit;

              (ii) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon,
         provided that if the original Mortgage has been delivered for recording
         to the appropriate public recording office of the jurisdiction in which
         the Mortgaged Property is located but has not yet been returned to the
         Seller by such recording office, the Seller may hold a copy of such
         original Mortgage; and

              (iii) originals of any amendments to the Mortgage Note or
         Mortgage, any modification or assumption agreements and any previous
         assignments of such Home Equity Loan;

provided, however, that as to any Home Equity Loan, if, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Trustee, (x) an optical image or other electronic representation of the related
documents specified in clauses (i) through (iii) above are enforceable in the
relevant jurisdictions to the same extent as the original of such document and
(y) such optical image or other representation does not impair the ability of an
owner of such Home Equity Loan to transfer its interest in such Home Equity
Loan, such optical image or other representation may be held by the Master
Servicer, acting through the Servicers, as custodian and bailee for the Trustee,
in lieu of the physical documents specified above.

         (d) Except as hereinafter provided, the Master Servicer, acting through
the Servicers, shall be entitled to maintain possession of all of the foregoing
documents and instruments, shall not be required to deliver any of them to the
Trustee and shall not be required to record an assignment of Mortgage in favor
of the Trustee with respect to any Home Equity Loan. In the event, however, that
possession of any of such documents or instruments is required by any Person
(including the Trustee) acting as successor master servicer pursuant to Section
7.04 or 8.02 in order to carry out the duties of Master Servicer hereunder, then
such successor shall be entitled to request delivery, at the expense of the
Master Servicer, of such documents or instruments by the Master Servicer and to
retain such documents or instruments for servicing purposes; provided that the
Trustee or such servicers shall maintain such documents at such offices as may
be required by any regulatory body having jurisdiction over such Home Equity
Loans.

                                      -21-
<PAGE>

         (e) The Master Servicer's right to maintain possession, directly or
through the Servicers, of the documents enumerated above shall continue so long
as (i) at least two of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch assign a long-term
senior unsecured debt rating to HFC of at least "Baa3", in the case of Moody's,
"BBB", in the case of Fitch, and "BBB-", in the case of Standard & Poor's, or
such lower ratings as shall be acceptable to the Rating Agencies in order to
maintain their current ratings of the Class A and Class M Certificates, and (ii)
each of the Servicers remains an Affiliate of HFC. At such time as either of the
conditions specified in the preceding sentence is not satisfied, as promptly as
practicable, but in no event more than 90 days thereafter in the case of clause
(i) below and 60 days in the case of clause (ii) below, the Master Servicer
shall cause each Servicer, at such Servicer's expense or, at the Master
Servicer's discretion, the Master Servicer's expense, to (i) either (x) record
an assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trustee (which may be a blanket
assignment if permitted by applicable law) with respect to each of the Home
Equity Loans being serviced by such Servicer in the appropriate real property or
other records or (y) deliver to the Trustee the assignment of such Mortgage in
favor of the Trustee in form for recordation, together with an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Trustee to the effect that recording is not required to
protect the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the related Home
Equity Loan or to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the
Trustee in the related Home Equity Loan, which Opinion of Counsel also shall be
reasonably acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies [and the Certificate
Insurer] (as evidenced in writing), and (ii) unless an Opinion of Counsel,
reasonably acceptable to the Trustee and the Rating Agencies [and the
Certificate Insurer] (as evidenced in writing), is delivered to the Trustee to
the effect that delivery of the Mortgage Files is not necessary to protect the
Trustee's right, title and interest in and to the related Home Equity Loans or
to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee in the
related Home Equity Loans, deliver the related Mortgage Files to the Trustee to
be held by the Trustee in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders, and the Trustee shall
retain possession thereof except to the extent the Master Servicer or Servicers
require any Mortgage Files for normal servicing as contemplated by Section 3.08.
The Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to appoint the Trustee their
attorney-in-fact to prepare, execute and record any assignments of Mortgages
required under this Section 2.01 in the event that the Servicers or the Master
Servicer should fail to do so on a timely basis.

         (f) Within 90 days following delivery, if any, of the Mortgage Files to
the Trustee pursuant to the preceding subsection, the Trustee shall review each
such Mortgage File to ascertain that all required documents set forth in this
Section 2.01 have been executed and received and that such documents relate to
the Home Equity Loans identified on the Home Equity Loan Schedule, and in so
doing the Trustee may rely on the purported due execution and genuineness of any
signature thereon. If within such 90-day period the Trustee finds any document
constituting a part of a Mortgage File not to have been executed or received or
to be unrelated to the Home Equity Loans identified in said Home Equity Loan
Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Trustee determines that such
Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material respect, the Trustee shall
promptly upon the conclusion of its review notify the Depositor and the Master
Servicer, and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall have a period of 90
days after such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect;
provided, however, that if such defect shall not have been corrected or cured
within such 90-day period due to the failure of the related office of real
property or other records to return any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage File, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall so notify the Trustee
and the

                                      -22-
<PAGE>

period during which such defect may be corrected or cured shall be extended for
one additional 90-day period.

         (g) The Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing any Mortgage
File except as expressly provided in this Section 2.01. In reviewing any
Mortgage File pursuant to this Section 2.01, the Trustee shall have no
responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and binding,
whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or recordable
form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trustee is the assignee or
endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with the
requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment is
permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, whether any Person executing any
document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine, but
shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that
it appears to be what it purports to be and, where applicable, that it purports
to be recorded.

         (h) The Master Servicer hereby confirms to the Trustee that on or prior
to the Closing Date and on or prior to the applicable Transfer Date with respect
to any Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan, the portions of the Electronic
Ledger relating to such Home Equity Loans have been or will have been clearly
and unambiguously marked, and the appropriate entries have been or will have
been made in its general accounting records, to indicate that such Home Equity
Loans have been transferred to the Trustee and constitute part of the Trust in
accordance with the terms hereof.

         Section 2.02. Acceptance by Trustee; Repurchase of Home Equity Loans;
Conveyance of Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loans.

         (a) The Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt of all the right, title and
interest of the Depositor in and to the assets described Section 2.01(a)(i)
through (v), and all of the right, title and interest of the Sellers in and to
the Transferred Assets pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, including but not
limited to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Notes and the Mortgages,
and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and interests and all
amounts received by it in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use
and benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. If the time to cure
any defect of which the Trustee has notified the Depositor and the Master
Servicer following the Trustee's review of the Home Equity Loan Files pursuant
to Section 2.01 has expired or if any loss is suffered by the Trustee, on behalf
of the Certificateholders, in respect of any Home Equity Loan as a result of (i)
a defect in any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File or (ii) the
related Seller's retention of such Mortgage File or an assignment of Mortgage
not having been recorded, the Depositor shall, in the case of a defect in such
document, or the Master Servicer shall, in the case of a loss resulting from
such Seller's retention of a Mortgage File or assignment of Mortgage not having
been recorded, on the Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date in the
month following the end of the Collection Period in which the time to cure such
defect expired or such loss occurred, either (i) repurchase the related Home
Equity Loan (a "Defective Home Equity Loan") (including any property acquired in
respect thereof and any insurance policy or insurance proceeds with respect
thereto) from the Trust at a price equal to the Purchase Price which shall be
accomplished by deposit by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.02 on such next preceding
Business Day, or

                                      -23-
<PAGE>

(ii) remove such Defective Home Equity Loan from the Trust and substitute in its
place an Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans.

         (b) The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to elect (by written notice sent to the Trustee) to
substitute in the place of any Home Equity Loan an Eligible Substitute Home
Equity Loan or Loans; provided that the aggregate of all substitutions pursuant
to this Section shall not exceed 30% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance.

         (c) As to any Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans, the Master
Servicer shall cause the related Seller to deliver to the Trustee with respect
to such Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans an acknowledgment that the
related Seller is holding as custodian for the Trustee such documents and
agreements, if any, as are permitted to be held by the related Seller in
accordance with Section 2.01. An assignment of the Mortgage in favor of the
Trustee with respect to such Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans shall
be required to be recorded in the appropriate real property or other records or
delivered to the Trustee with the Opinion of Counsel referred to in Section 2.01
under the same circumstances that all other assignments of Mortgage are required
to be recorded hereunder. For any Collection Period during which the Depositor
or the Master Servicer substitutes one or more Eligible Substitute Home Equity
Loans, the Master Servicer shall determine the Substitution Adjustment Amount.
The Depositor or the Master Servicer, as applicable, shall deposit the
Substitution Adjustment Amount in the Collection Account no later than the
Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date in the month following the end
of the Collection Period in which such substitution occurs. The Master Servicer
shall amend the Home Equity Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of the
Defective Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Loan for which the Master Servicer has
made a substitution election pursuant to Section 2.02(b) from the terms of this
Agreement and the substitution of the Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or
Loans. Upon such substitution, the Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans
shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects, and the
Depositor shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Eligible Substitute
Home Equity Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.04(b). The Trustee shall
upon satisfaction of the conditions in this subsection immediately take any
action requested by the Depositor, if any, to effect the reconveyance of such
Defective Home Equity Loan or such Home Equity Loan for which the Master
Servicer has made a substitution election so removed from the Trust to the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, as applicable. The procedures applied by the
Depositor or the Master Servicer in selecting each Eligible Substitute Home
Equity Loan shall not be adverse to the interests of the Certificateholders and
shall be comparable to the selection procedures applicable to the Home Equity
Loans originally conveyed hereunder.

         (d) Upon receipt by the Trustee of (i) in the case of a repurchase, a
Servicing Certificate to the effect that the Purchase Price for any such

Master Servicer shall survive any resignation or termination of the Master
Servicer hereunder.

deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and to perform its

insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by the availability of equitable remedies (whether in a proceeding

         (c) The Master Servicer is not required to obtain the consent of any
other Person or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or
registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency
in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, except for such consents, licenses, approvals
or authorizations, or registrations or declarations, as shall have been obtained
or filed, as the case may be;

         (d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the performance of
the transactions contemplated hereby by the Master Servicer will not violate any
provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court

Servicer is a party or by which the Master Servicer may be bound; and

tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the
Master Servicer threatened, against the Master Servicer or any of its properties

survive the sale and assignment of the Home Equity Loans to the Trust. Upon
discovery of a breach of any representations and warranties which materially and
adversely affects the interests of the Certificateholders, the Person
discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties.
Within 60 days (or such longer period as permitted by prior written consent of a
Responsible Officer of the Trustee) of its discovery or its receipt of notice of
such breach, the Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material
respects.

         knowledge of the Depositor threatened, against the Depositor or any of
         its properties or with respect to this Agreement or the Certificates
         which in the opinion of the Depositor has a reasonable likelihood of

<PAGE>

Upon discovery by the Depositor, the Master Servicer [, the Certificate Insurer]
or the Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04, without regard to any limitation set forth in such
representation or warranty concerning the knowledge of the Depositor as to the
facts stated therein, which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Certificateholders [or the Certificate Insurer] in the related Home Equity
Loan, the person discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
other parties [, the Certificate Insurer] and each Rating Agency. Within 60 days
of its discovery or its receipt of notice of such breach, or, with the prior
written consent of a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, such longer period not
to exceed 90 days specified in such consent, the Depositor or, as necessary, the
Master Servicer shall cure such breach in all material respects. With regard to
any such breach of the representations and warranties set forth in Section
2.04(b), unless, at the expiration of such 60 day or longer period, such breach
has been cured in all material respects or otherwise does not exist or continue
to exist, the Depositor or the Master Servicer shall, not later than the
Business Day next preceding the Distribution Date in the month following the end
of the Collection Period in which any such cure period expired, either (i)
repurchase such Defective Home Equity Loan (including any property acquired in
respect thereof and any insurance policy or insurance proceeds with respect
thereto) or (ii) remove such Home Equity Loan from the Trust and substitute in
its place an Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans, in the same manner
and subject to the same conditions as set forth in Section 2.02. Upon making any
such repurchase or substitution the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as
applicable, shall be entitled to receive an instrument of assignment or transfer
from the Trustee to the same extent as set forth in Section 2.02 with respect to
the repurchase or replacement of Home Equity Loans under that Section. Subject
to Section 2.04(d), it is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase or substitute for any such
Defective Home Equity Loan (or property acquired in respect thereof) shall
constitute the sole remedy against the Depositor or the Master Servicer
respecting such breach of the foregoing representations or warranties available
to Certificateholders [, the Certificate Insurer] or the Trustee against the
Depositor or the Master Servicer, and such obligation on the part of the Master
Servicer shall survive any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer
hereunder.

         (d) The Depositor and the Master Servicer, jointly and not severally,
agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust against any and all out-of-pocket
financial losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Trust
may become subject, insofar as such out-of-pocket financial losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any representation or warranty made by the Depositor in this
Section 2.04 on which the Trust has relied, being, or alleged to be, untrue or
incorrect in any material respect. This indemnity will be in addition to any
liability which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may otherwise have.

         (e) Promptly after receipt by the Trust of notice of the commencement
of any action or proceeding in any way relating to or arising from this
Agreement, the Trustee will notify the Depositor [, the Certificate Insurer] and
the Master Servicer of the commencement thereof, but the omission so to notify
the party from whom indemnification is sought (the "Indemnifying Party") will
not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which it may have to the
party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party") except to the extent
that the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected by the lack of notice. In case
any such action is brought against the Indemnified Party, and it notifies the
Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the

                                      -30-
<PAGE>

Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense (with the
consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of
such action at the Indemnifying Party's expense.

         Section 2.05. Execution and Authentication of Certificates. The Trustee
on behalf of the Trust shall cause to be executed, authenticated and delivered
on the Closing Date to or upon the order of the Depositor, in exchange for the
Home Equity Loans, concurrently with the assignment and conveyance to the
Trustee of the Home Equity Loans, the Class A and Class M Certificates in
authorized denominations and the Equity Certificate, together evidencing the
ownership of the entire Trust.

         Section 2.06. Tax Treatment.

         (a) The Trust shall, and each Class A and Class M Certificateholder by
acceptance of its Class A or Class M Certificate, as applicable, does hereby
agree to, treat the Class A and Class M Certificates as debt for U.S. federal
income tax purposes of a disregarded entity under the principles of Treas. Reg.
ss.301.7701-3(b). It is the intention of the parties hereto that, solely for
federal, state and local income and other tax purposes, the Trust shall not be
treated as an entity separate from the Depositor and that all necessary returns,
reports or other forms shall be filed by the Depositor in a manner consistent
with such tax characterization.

         (b) The Depositor has structured this Agreement and the Certificates
with the intention that the Class A and Class M Certificates will qualify under
applicable federal, state and local tax law as indebtedness, and the Equity
Certificate as equity of the Trust. The Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Trustee, each Certificateholder and each Certificate Owner agree to treat and to
take no action inconsistent with the treatment of the Class A and Class M
Certificates (or beneficial interest therein) as indebtedness for purposes of
federal, state and local income or franchise taxes or any other tax imposed on
or measured by income. Each Certificateholder, by acceptance of its Certificate,
and each Certificate Owner, by acquisition of a beneficial interest in a
Certificate, agree to be bound by the provisions of this Section 2.6. Each
Certificateholder agrees that it will cause any Certificate Owner acquiring an
interest in a Class A or Class M Certificate through it to comply with this
Agreement as to its treatment of the Certificate as indebtedness under
applicable tax law, as described in this Section 2.6.

         Section 2.07. Federal Income Tax Allocations. Net income of the Trust
for any month as determined for federal income tax purposes (and each item of
income, gain, loss, credit and deduction entering into the computation thereof)
shall be taken into account by the Depositor as the Holder of the Equity
Certificate.

Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The
Master Servicer in such capacity may also consent to the placing of a proposed

         was conveyed to the Trust and, immediately following the placement of
         such proposed senior lien, such Mortgage will be in a second or, if
         such Mortgage was in a second lien position at the time the related
         Home Equity Loan was conveyed to the Trust, a third lien position and
         (ii) the principal balance of the mortgage loan to be secured by the
         proposed senior lien and the rate at which interest accrues thereon are
         no greater than those of the related Home Equity Loan as of the date it
         was first conveyed to the Trust; or

                                      -32-
<PAGE>

              (z) the Mortgage relating to the Home Equity Loan was in a second
         lien position as of the Cut-Off Date and the proposed senior lien
         secures a mortgage loan that refinances an existing first mortgage loan
         and the outstanding principal amount of such mortgage loan immediately
         following such refinancing and the rate at which interest accrues
         thereon are not greater than that of such existing first mortgage loan
         at the date the mortgage loan was originated.

         (b) If (i) foreclosure proceedings are commenced with respect to any
Home Equity Loan with respect to which the Master Servicer has consented to the
placing of a subsequent senior lien pursuant to clause (x) in Section 3.01(a),
or (ii) any loss is suffered by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders
in respect of any Home Equity Loan as a result of (x) a failure to file on or
within ten days following the effective date of this Agreement the UCC-l
financing statements referred to in Section 2.01 or (y) a failure to publish on
or prior to the Closing Date such notices reflecting the sale of the Home Equity
Loans as are described in Section 3440.1(h) of the California Civil Code, then
the Master Servicer shall repurchase or substitute for any adversely affected
Home Equity Loan on the Business Day preceding the next Distribution Date
following the end of the Collection Period during which such foreclosure
proceedings were commenced or such losses were suffered. Such repurchase or
substitution shall be accomplished in the same manner and subject to the same
conditions as set forth in Section 2.02. Upon making any such repurchase or
substitution the Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive an instrument of
assignment or transfer from the Trustee to the same extent as set forth in
Section 2.02.

         (c) Upon the request of a Mortgagor or at the Master Servicer's own
initiative, the Master Servicer (or the related Servicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer) may waive, modify or vary any term of any Home Equity Loan or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if:

              (i) in the Master Servicer's (or such Servicer's) good faith
         determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence
         will enhance recovery with respect to such Home Equity Loan; and

              (ii) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Home Equity
         Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer (or
         such Servicer) imminent.

         (d) Subject to subparagraph (e) below, in addition to the circumstances
described under Section 3.01(c), the Master Servicer (or the related Servicer on
behalf of the Master Servicer) may waive, modify or vary any term of any Home
Equity Loan, if the purpose of such action is to reduce the likelihood of
prepayment or of default of such Home Equity Loan, to increase the likelihood of
repayment or repayment upon default of such Home Equity Loan, to increase the
likelihood of repayment in full of or recoveries under such Home Equity Loan, or
to otherwise benefit the Certificateholders, all in the reasonable judgment of
the Master Servicer.

         (e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer may not defer the scheduled monthly interest and principal
payment on any Home Equity Loan that is not in default or (in the judgment of
the Master Servicer (or the related Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer))
for which default is not imminent unless (i) the Master Servicer elects to make
a Skip-A-Pay Advance pursuant to subparagraph (f) below or

                                      -33-
<PAGE>

(ii) each Rating Agency advises in writing that as a result of such deferment
the then current rating of the Class A and Class M Certificates will not be
withdrawn, suspended or reduced; provided, however, that the Master Servicer may
not defer the scheduled monthly payment on any Home Equity Loan in reliance on
clause (i) above unless the Master Servicer determines, in its good faith
judgment, that such Skip-A-Pay Advance will be recoverable from future payments
on the Home Equity Loans.

         (f) If during any Collection Period the Master Servicer deferred the
scheduled monthly payment on any Home Equity Loan that was not in default or for
which default was not imminent in reliance on clause (i) of subparagraph (e)
above, no later than 12:00 noon Chicago time on each Deposit Date, the Master
Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Skip-A-Pay Advance for such Collection Period. On each Distribution Date, the
Master Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for all previously
unreimbursed Skip-A-Pay Advances from funds on deposit in the Collection
Account, before making any distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 5.01, up to an amount equal to the Skip-A-Pay Reimbursement Amount on
such Distribution Date; provided, however, that the Skip-A-Pay Reimbursement
Amount that the Master Servicer is entitled to receive on such Distribution Date
shall be reduced by the portion of such amount, if any, that was applied to
reduce the amount of funds that the Master Servicer was required to deposit or
to cause to be deposited into the Collection Account on the preceding Deposit
Date pursuant to Section 3.02(b).

         (g) The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to
the Master Servicer as servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee under this
Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent contractor and
not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

         (h) In the event that the rights, duties and obligations of the Master
Servicer are terminated hereunder, any successor to the Master Servicer in its
sole discretion may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, terminate the
existing subservicer arrangements with any Servicer or assume the terminated
Master Servicer's rights under such subservicing arrangements which termination
or assumption will not violate the terms of such arrangements.

         Section 3.02. Collection of Certain Home Equity Loan Payments.

         (a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement,
follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to home equity
loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Home Equity Loans. Consistent
with, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, the Master Servicer
may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any assumption fees
or other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Home
Equity Loans, (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of
delinquent amounts, so long as such arrangement is consistent with the Master
Servicer's policies with respect to the home equity loans it owns or services,
(iii) sell the Home Equity Loan at its fair market value to a third party for
collection activity or (iv) treat a Home Equity Loan as current if the Mortgagor
has made one scheduled payment (which, for the purposes of this Section
3.02(a)(iii) only, is in accordance

                                      -34-
<PAGE>

with the Master Servicer's customary servicing practices and may be less than
100% of the scheduled payment) to cure the delinquency status of such Home
Equity Loan.

         (b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain with the Trustee a
separate trust account (the "Collection Account") titled "[ ], as Trustee, in
trust for the registered holders of [ ] Home Equity Loan Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 200[ ]-[ ]". In the event that a successor Trustee is
appointed as provided in Section 9.07, a new Collection Account shall be
promptly established at and maintained by such successor Trustee, and the title
of the new Collection Account shall be "[Successor Trustee], as Trustee, in
trust for the registered holders of [ ] Home Equity Loan Asset Backed
Certificates, Series 200[ ]-[ ]", and any amounts in the old Collection Account
shall be transferred to the new Collection Account. The Collection Account shall
be an Eligible Account. No later than 12:00 noon Chicago time on each Deposit
Date (or, if a Deposit Event has occurred and the Master Servicer has not
provided credit enhancement acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies, within
two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof), the Master Servicer shall
deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account the following
payments and collections received or made by it with respect to the Home Equity
Loans (without duplication):

              (i) Interest Collections (net of any Servicing Fee) on the Home
         Equity Loans;

              (ii) Principal Collections on the Home Equity Loans;

              (iii) Insurance Proceeds (including, for this purpose, any amount
         required to be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 3.04 and
         excluding any portion thereof constituting Principal Collections); and

              (iv) amounts required to be paid by the Master Servicer in
         connection with the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section 10.01;

provided, however, that so long as a Deposit Event has not occurred (unless the
Master Servicer has provided credit enhancement acceptable to each of the Rating
Agencies [and the Certificate Insurer]), the amount of funds that the Master
Servicer is required to deposit or to cause to be deposited into the Collection
Account on or before such Deposit Date shall be reduced by the Skip-A-Pay
Reimbursement Amount the Master Servicer is entitled to receive on the next
Distribution Date.

The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account are
exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, fees (including annual fees) or late charge penalties payable by
Mortgagors, prepayment penalties, or amounts received by the Master Servicer or
a Servicer for the accounts of Mortgagors for application towards the payment of
taxes, insurance premiums, assessments and similar items for the account of the
related Servicer, if any, need not be deposited in the Collection Account.

         (c) The Trustee shall hold amounts deposited in the Collection Account
as trustee for the Certificateholders [and the Certificate Insurer]. In
addition, the Master Servicer shall notify the Trustee in writing on each
Determination Date of the amount of payments and collections to be deposited in
the Collection Account with respect to the related Distribution Date.

                                      -35-
<PAGE>

         (d) The Master Servicer may cause the institution maintaining the
Collection Account to invest any funds in the Collection Account in Permitted
Investments (including obligations of the Master Servicer or of any of its
affiliates, if such obligations otherwise qualify as Permitted Investments),
which shall mature or otherwise be available not later than the Business Day
next preceding the Distribution Date or on the Distribution Date next following
the date of such investment as long as such action does not result in a
withdrawal or downgrading of the then current ratings on the Class A and Class M
Certificates by the Rating Agencies (except that any investment in an obligation
of the institution with which the Collection Account is maintained may mature on
or before 12:00 noon, Chicago time, on such Distribution Date) and shall not be
sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. In the event the Trustee is at any
time maintaining the Collection Account, any request by the Master Servicer to
invest funds on deposit in the Collection Account shall be in writing, shall be
delivered to the Trustee at or before 10:30 A.M., Chicago time, if such
investment is to be made on such day, and shall certify that the requested
investment is a Permitted Investment that matures at or prior to the time
required hereby. Any such investment shall be registered in the name of or
controlled by the Trustee as trustee hereunder or in the name of its nominee and
to the extent such investments are certificated they shall be maintained in the
possession or control of the Trustee in the state of its Corporate Trust Office.
Except as provided above, all income and gain realized from any such investment
shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be subject to its
withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses incurred in
respect of the principal amount of any such investments shall be deposited in
the Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds immediately
as realized.

         (e) The Trustee is hereby authorized to execute purchases and sales of
Permitted Investments as directed by the Master Servicer through the facilities
of its own trading or capital markets operations. The Trustee shall send to the
Master Servicer statements reflecting the monthly activity for each such
purchase and sale made for the preceding month. Although the Master Servicer
recognizes that it may obtain a broker confirmation or written monthly statement
containing comparable information at no additional cost, the Master Servicer
hereby agrees that confirmations of investments are not required to be issued by
the Trustee for each month in which a monthly statement is rendered. No
statement need be rendered pursuant to the provision of this subsection if no
activity occurred in the account for such month.

         Section 3.03. Withdrawals from the Collection Account.

         (a) The Trustee shall withdraw or cause to be withdrawn funds from the
Collection Account for the following purposes:

              (i) On each Distribution Date, to make distributions and payments
         to [the Certificate Insurer and] Certificateholders pursuant to Section
         5.01;

              (ii) From time to time, to make investments in Permitted
         Investments and to pay to the Master Servicer all income and gain
         earned in respect of Permitted Investments or on funds deposited in the
         Collection Account;

              (iii) To reimburse the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the
         extent permitted by Section 7.03;

                                      -36-
<PAGE>

              (iv) To withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account
         that were not required to be deposited therein or were deposited
         therein in error and to pay such funds to the appropriate Person;

              (v) To pay to the party legally entitled by a final order of a
         court of competent jurisdiction in an insolvency proceeding an amount
         equal to any preference claim made with respect to amounts paid with
         respect to the Home Equity Loans; provided that, if any such amount is
         later determined not to be a preference by such court of competent
         jurisdiction and is returned to the Master Servicer or any Servicer,
         such amount shall be redeposited into the Collection Account by the
         Master Servicer;

              (vi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
         termination of this Agreement and to pay any amounts remaining therein
         to the Equity Certificateholder; and

              (vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for Skip-A-Pay Advances to
         the extent permitted by Section 3.01(f).

         (b) If the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein or credited thereto or any amount in
respect of payments by Mortgagors made by checks subsequently returned for
insufficient funds or other reason for non-payment, it may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(iv), and any
such amounts shall not be included in Interest Collections and Principal
Collections, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Any
withdrawal or debit permitted by Section 3.03(a) may be accomplished by
delivering an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee which describes the purpose
of such withdrawal (including, without limitation, that any such amount was
deposited in the Collection Account in error or, in the case of returned checks,
that such amounts were properly debited, respectively). Upon receipt of any such
Officer's Certificate, the Trustee shall withdraw such amount for the account of
the Master Servicer. All funds deposited by the Master Servicer in the
Collection Account shall be held by the Trustee in trust for the
Certificateholders, until disbursed in accordance with Section 5.01 or withdrawn
or debited in accordance with this Section.

         Section 3.04. Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection
Expenses. Each Home Equity Loan requires that the borrower thereunder maintain
hazard insurance naming the Master Servicer or the related Servicer as loss
payee providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the
combined principal balance owing on such Home Equity Loan and any mortgage loan
senior to such Home Equity Loan from time to time. The Master Servicer
represents and warrants that it or the applicable Seller verified the existence
of such hazard insurance at the origination of the Home Equity Loan. The Master
Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by grant
of deed in lieu of foreclosure, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an
amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the combined unpaid principal balance owing on
such Home Equity Loan and any mortgage loans senior to such Home Equity Loans at
the time of such foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of foreclosure plus
accrued interest thereon. Amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any
such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called
for by Section 3.02. In cases in which any

                                      -37-
<PAGE>

Mortgaged Property is located in a federally designated flood area, the hazard
insurance to be maintained for the related Home Equity Loan shall include flood
insurance. All such flood insurance shall be in such amounts as are required
under applicable guidelines of Fannie Mae. The Master Servicer shall be under no
obligation to require that any Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional
insurance and shall be under no obligation itself to maintain any such
additional insurance on property acquired in respect of a Home Equity Loan,
other than pursuant to such applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time
be in force and as shall require such additional insurance. As to Mortgaged
Properties acquired by the Master Servicer as provided herein, the Master
Servicer may satisfy its obligation set forth in the first sentence of this
Section 3.04 by self insuring Mortgaged Properties for which the aggregate
unpaid principal balance of the related Home Equity Loans plus the outstanding
balance of any mortgage loans senior to such Home Equity Loans at the time title
was acquired, plus accrued interest (the "Combined Exposure"), was less than
$500,000 (or such other amount as the Master Servicer may in good faith
determine from time to time) and by causing hazard policies to be maintained
with respect to Mortgaged Properties for which the Combined Exposure equals or
exceeds the self insurance threshold established from time to time by the Master
Servicer by maintaining a blanket policy consistent with prudent industry
standards insuring against hazard losses on the Mortgaged Properties. Such
policy may contain a deductible clause, in which case the Master Servicer shall,
in the event that there shall not have been maintained on the related Mortgaged
Property a policy complying with the first sentence of this Section 3.04, and
there shall have been a loss which would have been covered by such policy,
deposit in the Collection Account the amount not otherwise payable under the
blanket policy because of such deductible clause.

         Section 3.05. Assumption and Modification Agreements. In any case in
which a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor,
the Master Servicer shall exercise or refrain from exercising its right to
accelerate the maturity of such Home Equity Loan consistent with the
then-current practice of the Master Servicer and without regard to the inclusion
of such Home Equity Loan in the Trust and not in the Master Servicer's
portfolio. If it elects not to enforce its right to accelerate or if it is
prevented from doing so by applicable law, the Master Servicer (so long as such
action conforms with the Master Servicer's underwriting standards at the time
for new originations) is authorized to take or enter into an assumption and
modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property
has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Trustee that any assumption and modification agreement has been completed by
delivering to the Trustee [(with a copy to the Certificate Insurer)] an
Officer's Certificate certifying that such agreement is in compliance with this
Section and by forwarding to the applicable Servicer on behalf of the Depositor
or the Trustee, as applicable, the original copy of such assumption and
modification agreement. Any such assumption and modification agreement shall,
for all purposes, be considered a part of the related Mortgage File to the same
extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part thereof. No
change in the terms of the related Mortgage Note may be made by the Master
Servicer in connection with any such assumption to the extent that such change
would not be permitted to be made in respect of the original Mortgage Note
pursuant to Section 3.01 unless the conditions specified in Section 3.01 are
satisfied. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for entering into any such
agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as additional servicing
compensation.

         Section 3.06. Realization Upon Defaulted Home Equity Loans.

         (a) The Master Servicer (or the Master Servicer together with the
related Seller as called for by the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement) shall
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to ownership Mortgaged Properties
securing such of the Home Equity Loans as come into and continue in default
when, in the opinion of the Master Servicer based upon the practices and
procedures referred to in the following sentence, no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02;
provided that if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or reasonably believes
that any Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous or toxic wastes or
substances and that the acquisition of such Mortgaged Property would not be
commercially reasonable, then the Master Servicer will not cause the Trust to
acquire title to such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices (including, in the case of any default on a related
senior mortgage loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default) and
procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and
usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to
the proviso that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the correction of any
default on a related senior mortgage loan or restoration of any property unless
it shall determine that such expenditure will increase Net Liquidation Proceeds.
The Master Servicer will be reimbursed out of Liquidation Proceeds for advances
of its own funds to pay Liquidation Expenses before any Net Liquidation Proceeds
are deposited in the Collection Account.

         (b) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall (i) so long as at least two of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch assign
a long-term unsecured debt rating to the Master Servicer of at least "Baa3", in
the case of Moody's, "BBB", in the case of Fitch, and "BBB-" in the case of
Standard & Poor's, be issued in the name of the related Servicer or (ii) if the
rating requirements in clause (i) are not satisfied, be issued to the Trustee,
or to its nominee on behalf of Certificateholders.

         Section 3.07. [Reserved].

         Section 3.08. Trustee to Cooperate.

         (a) Upon any payment in full of the Principal Balance of any Home
Equity Loan, the Master Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the
authorization contained in Section 3.01, if the assignments of Mortgage have
been recorded as required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the
related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the
Master Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person
entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in
connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed
from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the Trustee is holding the
Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the servicing or
foreclosure of any Home Equity Loan, the Trustee shall, upon request of the
Master Servicer and delivery to the Trustee of a trust receipt signed by a
Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File to the Master Servicer, and
the Trustee shall execute such documents as shall be necessary to the
prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking of other servicing actions.

                                      -39-
<PAGE>

Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master Servicer to return the Mortgage
File to the Trustee when the need therefor by the Master Servicer no longer
exists unless the Home Equity Loan shall be liquidated, in which case, upon
receipt of an Officer's Certificate of the Master Servicer, the trust receipt
shall be released by the Trustee to the Master Servicer.

         (b) In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing any
Home Equity Loan that is in default following recordation of the assignments of
Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Trustee shall, if the
Master Servicer so requests in writing and supplies the Trustee with appropriate
forms therefor, assign such Home Equity Loan for the purpose of collection to
the Master Servicer or to the related Servicer (any such assignment shall
unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the purpose of collection
only), and, upon such assignment, such assignee for collection will thereupon
bring all required actions in its own name and otherwise enforce the terms of
the Home Equity Loan and deposit or credit the Net Liquidation Proceeds received
with respect thereto in the Collection Account. In the event that all delinquent
payments due under any such Home Equity Loan are paid by the Mortgagor and any
other defaults are cured then the assignee for collection shall promptly
reassign such Home Equity Loan to the Trustee and return it to the place where
the related Mortgage File was being maintained.

         Section 3.09. Servicing Compensation; Payment of Certain Expenses by
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Servicing
Fee as compensation for its services in connection with servicing the Home
Equity Loans. The Servicing Fee for each Collection Period shall be paid to the
Master Servicer out of Interest Collections prior to their deposit in the
Collection Account and shall not be the responsibility or liability of the
Trust, the Trustee or the Class A or Class M Certificateholders. Additional
servicing compensation in the form of late payment charges or other receipts not
required to be deposited in the Collection Account shall be retained by the
Master Servicer. The Master Servicer shall be required to pay all expenses
incurred by it in connection with its activities hereunder (including payment of
Trustee fees and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to
be for the account of the Certificateholders) and shall not be entitled to
reimbursement therefor except as specifically provided herein.

         Section 3.10. Annual Statement as to Compliance.

         (a) The Master Servicer will deliver to the Trustee and a copy to each
of the Rating Agencies [and the Certificate Insurer], on or before March 31 of
each year, beginning March 31, 200[ ], an Officer's Certificate stating that (i)
a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar
year (or in the case of the Officer's Certificate delivered in 200[ ], from the
Closing Date) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under
such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge,
based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its material
obligations under this Agreement throughout such year (or in the case of the
Officer's Certificate delivered in 200[ ], from the Closing Date), or, if there
has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each
such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of
such Officer's Certificate shall be provided by the Master Servicer to any
Certificateholder upon written request at the Master Servicer's expense.

                                      -40-
<PAGE>

         (b) The Master Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and a copy to each
of the Rating Agencies [and the Certificate Insurer], promptly after having
obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event later than five Business Days
thereafter, written notice by means of an Officer's Certificate of any event
which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would become a
Master Servicer Termination Event.

         Section 3.11. Annual Servicing Report. On or before March 31 of each
year, beginning March 31, 200[ ], the Master Servicer at its expense shall cause
a firm of nationally recognized independent public accountants (who may also
render other services to the Master Servicer) to furnish a report to the Trustee
and a copy to each of the Rating Agencies [and the Certificate Insurer] to the
effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the
servicing of home equity loans by the Master Servicer during the most recent
calendar year (or in the case of the report delivered in 200[ ], from the
Closing Date) then ended under pooling and servicing agreements (including this
Agreement) substantially similar to this Agreement and that such examination,
which has been conducted substantially in compliance with the audit guide for
audits of non-supervised mortgagees approved by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development for use by independent public accountants (to the extent that
the procedures in such audit guide are applicable to the servicing obligations
set forth in such agreements), has disclosed no items of noncompliance with the

the required reports to Certificateholders on such Distribution Date.

mortgaged property for each year beginning in 200[ ], the Master Servicer shall
prepare, mail and file in a timely fashion each year as required by law

and substance sufficient to meet the reporting requirements imposed by Section
6050J of the Code.

         Section 3.17. Additional Covenants of HFC. HFC hereby agrees that:

         (a) it will maintain its books and records to clearly note the separate
corporate existence of the Depositor, each Servicer and the Master Servicer;

         (b) the Depositor, the Servicers and HFC will share certain overhead

Monetary transactions between the Depositor and HFC or any Servicer are and will
continue to be properly reflected in their respective financial records;

                       [The Certificate Insurance Policy]

         Section 4.01. The Certificate Insurance Policy. As soon as possible,
and in no event later than 3:00 p.m., New York time, on the third Business Day
immediately preceding each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall determine the
Available Distribution Amount (net of any Insured Payments) for such
Distribution Date minus the amount of any Premium Amount to be paid on such
Distribution Date.

         If for any Distribution Date a Deficiency Amount exists, the Trustee
shall complete a notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Certificate
Insurance Policy (the "Notice") and shall submit such Notice to the Fiscal Agent
no later than 12:00 noon, New York time, on the second Business Day preceding
such Distribution Date. The Notice shall constitute a claim for an Insured
Payment pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy for an amount equal to the
Deficiency Amount. Upon receipt of the Insured Payment, at or prior to the
latest time payments of the Insured Payment are to be made by the Certificate
Insurer pursuant to the Certificate Insurance Policy, on behalf of the Class A
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall deposit such Insured Payments in the
Distribution Account and shall distribute such Insured Payments only in
accordance with Section 5.01(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and
(ix)].

         The Trustee shall receive, as attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a
Class A or Class M Certificate, any Insured Payment from the Certificate Insurer
and disburse the same to each Holder of a Class A Certificate in accordance with
the provisions of Article V. Insured Payments disbursed by the Trustee from
proceeds of the Certificate Insurance Policy shall not be considered payment by
the Trust nor shall such payments discharge the obligation of the Trust with
respect to such Class A Certificate, and the Certificate Insurer shall become
the owner of such unpaid amounts due from the Trust in respect of such Insured
Payments as the deemed assignee of such Holder and shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefore in accordance with Section 5.01. The Trustee hereby agrees
on behalf of each Holder of a Class A or Class M Certificate for the benefit of
the Certificate Insurer that it and they recognize that to the extent the
Certificate Insurer makes Insured Payments, either directly or indirectly (as by
paying through the Trustee), to the Class A Certificateholders, the Certificate
Insurer will be entitled to be reimbursed therefore in accordance with Section
5.01.

         Section 4.02. [Reserved]

         Section 4.03. Claims Upon the Certificate Insurance Policy. The Trustee
shall comply with the provisions of the Certificate Insurance Policy with
respect to claims upon the Certificate Insurance Policy.

         The Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the amount of
interest and principal paid in respect of any Class A Certificate from moneys
received under the Certificate Insurance Policy. The Certificate Insurer shall
have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during normal
business hours upon one Business Day's prior written notice to the Trustee.

                                      -46-

         The Trustee shall promptly notify the Certificate Insurer of any
proceeding or the institution of any action, of which a Responsible Officer of
the Trustee has actual knowledge, seeking the avoidance as a preferential
transfer under the Bankruptcy Code (a "Preference Claim") of any distribution
made with respect to the Class A Certificates. Each Certificateholder of Class A
Certificates, by its purchase of Class A Certificates, the Master Servicer and
the Trustee hereby agree that the Certificate Insurer (so long as no Certificate
Insurer Default exists) may at any time during the continuation of any
proceeding relating to a Preference Claim direct all matters relating to such
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, (i) the direction of any appeal
of any order relating to such Preference Claim and (ii) the posting of any
surety, supersedes or performance bond pending any such appeal.]

              (i) [to the Certificate Insurer, the Premium Amount owing to the
         Certificate Insurer under the Insurance Agreement;]

              (ii) to the Class A Certificates, the Current Interest plus the
         Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to the Class A Certificates;
         provided that if the amount available is not sufficient to make a full

         amount of the shortfall will be carried forward with accrued interest;

              (iii) to the Class M Certificates, the Current Interest plus the
         Interest Carry Forward Amount with respect to the Class M Certificates;

              (iv) to the Class A Certificates until the Certificate Principal
         Balance of such Class A Certificates has been reduced to zero, [ ]% of

         Certificates has been reduced to zero, [ ]% of the Extra Principal
         Distribution Amount to the Class A Certificates and [ ]% of the Extra

              (xiii) [to the Certificate Insurer, any other amounts owing to the
         Certificate Insurer under the Insurance Agreement;] and

              (xiv) to the Equity Certificate, any remaining Available
         Distribution Amount; provided, however, that on any Distribution Date
         after the earlier of (i) the date on which the first auction conducted
         by the Trustee pursuant to Section 10.01(c) does not produce any bid at
         least equal to the Termination Price or (ii) the [ ] Distribution Date,
         any remaining amount available for distribution pursuant to this
         Section 5.01(a)(xiv) shall instead be distributed concurrently, [ ]% to
         the Class A Certificates and [ ]% to the Class M Certificates, in
         reduction of the applicable Class or Classes' Certificate Principal
         Balance.

         (b) Final Maturity of Class A and M Certificates. If either or both of
the Class A or the Class M Certificates remain outstanding on the [ ]
Distribution Date (after taking into account all distributions of principal to
such Classes of Certificates on such Distribution Date pursuant to subparagraph
(a) above) (the "Debt Repayment Date"), the Trustee shall sell the Trust
Property to accelerate the repayment of all of the accrued interest on and the
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A and Class M Certificates by
soliciting at least two bids for the sale of the Home Equity Loans, and shall
sell to the highest bidder the number of Home Equity Loans (which may be less
than all of the Home Equity Loans) necessary to generate sufficient sales
proceeds to fully repay the Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A and
Class M Certificates, together with any unpaid Interest Carry Forward Amounts
allocable to such Classes, plus accrued interest on such Certificate Principal
Balance and any unpaid Interest Carry Forward Amounts to but excluding the date
on which such Home Equity Loans are sold (the "Sale Date") at the related
Pass-Through Rates [and all Premium Amounts, Reimbursement Amounts and any other
amounts due and owing to the Certificate Insurer pursuant to Section 5.01(a)]
(collectively, the "Debt Repayment Amount"). On the Sale Date, the Trustee shall
distribute such sales proceeds first to the Class A and Class M Certificates
[and the Certificate Insurer], up to the Debt Repayment Amount, to retire such
Certificates, and shall distribute any remaining sales proceeds to the Equity
Certificate. The foregoing notwithstanding, to the extent that the Trustee,
after using commercially reasonable efforts to do so for 90 days following the
Debt Repayment Date, does not receive a bid for the sale of all of the Home
Equity Loans that will generate sales proceeds at least equal to the Debt
Repayment Amount, the Trustee shall (i) sell the Home Equity Loans to the
highest bidder and (ii) distribute the sales proceeds in accordance with the
payment priorities set forth in subparagraph (a) above, and terminate the Trust
pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(ii); provided, however, that the Trustee shall not
sell the

                                      -49-
<PAGE>

Home Equity Loans and distribute the sales proceeds under this sentence unless
[the Certificate Insurer and] the Holders of the Class A and Class M
Certificates evidencing Percentage Interests aggregating not less than 66 2/3%
of each of the Classes consent thereto. If the Trustee is unable to obtain the
consent of [the Certificate Insurer and] the Holders of the Class A and Class M
Certificates to do so, on each Distribution Date after the Debt Repayment Date,
the Trustee shall continue to distribute the Available Distribution Amount to
[the Certificate Insurer and] the Holders of the Certificates in accordance with
the payment priorities set forth in subparagraph (a) above.

         (c) Method of Distribution. The Trustee shall make distributions in
respect of a Distribution Date to each Certificateholder of record on the
related Record Date (other than as provided in Section 10.01 respecting the
final distribution) by check or money order mailed to such Certificateholder at
the address appearing in the Certificate Register, or upon written request by a
Certificateholder delivered to the Trustee at least five Business Days prior to
such Record Date, by wire transfer (but only if such Certificateholder is the
Depository or such Certificateholder owns of record one or more Class of
Certificates having principal denominations aggregating at least $[ ]), or by
such other means of payment as such Certificateholder and the Trustee shall
agree. Distributions among Certificateholders shall be made in proportion to the
Percentage Interests evidenced by the Certificates held by such
Certificateholders.

         (d) Distributions on Book-Entry Certificates. Each distribution with
respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be paid to the Depository, which shall
credit the amount of such distribution to the accounts of its Depository
Participants in accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository
Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such distribution to the
Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect participating
brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which
it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds
to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits and disbursements
with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the Depository and
the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of the Class A or
Class M Certificates. None of the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate
Registrar, the Depositor [, the Certificate Insurer] or the Master Servicer
shall have any responsibility therefor except as otherwise provided by
applicable law.

         (e) Distribution of Insured Payments. With respect to any Distribution
Date, in the event of an Insured Payment, the Trustee shall make such payments
from the amount drawn under the Certificate Insurance Policy pursuant to Section
4.01 for such Distribution Date in accordance with Section 5.01(a)(ii), (iii),
(iv), (v), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (ix). The Certificate Insurer shall be deemed
to be the assignee of the Holders of the Class A Certificates to the extent of
any amount of Insured Payments disbursed by the Trustee from proceeds of the
Certificate Insurance Policy and to such extent, shall be the subrogee of each
such Holder of the Class A Certificates; provided, however, that any such right
of subrogation inuring to the Certificate Insurer hereunder or otherwise shall
be and is subordinated to the rights under this Agreement of the Holders of the
Class A Certificates and in accordance with Section 5.01(a).]

         Section 5.01. Statements to Certificateholders. (a) On each
Determination Date, the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee [, the
Certificate Insurer] and the Paying Agent access

                                      -50-

its option, any additional files containing the same information in an
alternative format) available each month to Certificateholders and other parties
to this Agreement via the Trustee's website, which is presently located at [ ].
Persons that are unable to use the above website are entitled to

have a paper copy mailed to them via first class mail by calling the Trustee at

convenient and/or more accessible to the above parties and to the
Certificateholders. The Trustee shall provide timely and adequate notification
to all above parties and to the Certificateholders regarding any such change.

         (c) The Master Servicer shall also give access to such statement to
each Rating Agency at the time it gives access to such statement to the Trustee
and the Paying Agent.

         (d) Within 60 days after the end of each calendar year, the Master

appropriate.

         (f) Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year, the Master
Servicer shall forward or give access to the Trustee for mailing to each Person
who at any time during the calendar year was the Holder of the Equity
Certificate a statement containing the applicable distribution information
provided pursuant to this Section aggregated for such calendar year or
applicable portion thereof during which such Person was the Holder of the Equity
Certificate together with any other information relating to the Trust reasonably
required in order to enable an Equity Certificateholder to timely prepare and
file its U.S. federal income tax returns and reports. Such obligation of the
Master Servicer shall be deemed to have been satisfied to the extent that

                                   ARTICLE VI

                                The Certificates

         Section 6.01. The Certificates.

         (a) The Class A, Class M and Equity Certificate shall be substantially
in the forms set forth in Exhibit A through Exhibit C, and shall, on original
issue, be executed by the Trustee on behalf of the Trust and authenticated and
delivered by the Trustee to or upon the order of the Depositor concurrently with
the sale and assignment to the Trustee of the Trust. The Class A Certificates
and Class M Certificates shall be initially evidenced by one or more
certificates representing the entire Original Class Certificate Principal
Balance, and shall be held in minimum dollar denominations of $[ ] and multiples
of $[ ] in excess thereof (except that one Certificate of the Class A and Class
M Certificates may be in a different denomination).

         (b) The Certificates shall be executed on behalf of the Trust by manual
or facsimile signature of any officer of the Trustee duly authorized to execute
such Certificates on behalf of the Trust. Certificates bearing the manual or
facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such signatures
were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind the
Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to be
so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or
did not hold such offices at the date of such Certificate. No Certificate shall
be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose,
unless such Certificate shall have been manually authenticated by the Trustee
substantially in the form provided for herein, and such authentication upon any
Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. Subject to Section
6.02, the Class A and Class M Certificates shall be Book-Entry Certificates. The
Equity Certificate shall not be a Book-Entry Certificate.

         Section 6.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.

         (a) The Certificate Registrar shall cause to be kept at its corporate
trust office (which shall be the Corporate Trust Office if the Trustee is the
Certificate Registrar) a Certificate Register in which, subject to such
reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Certificate Registrar shall
provide for the registration of the Certificates and of transfers and exchanges
of the Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee shall initially serve as
Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering the Certificates and
transfers and exchanges of Certificates as herein provided.

         (b) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Certificate at
any office or agency of the Certificate Registrar maintained for such purpose
pursuant to the foregoing paragraph, and in the case of the Equity Certificate,
upon satisfaction of the conditions applicable to such Certificate set forth
below, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and shall authenticate
and deliver in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more
new Certificates of a like Class and of the same aggregate Percentage Interest
dated the date of authentication by the Trustee.

                                      -54-
<PAGE>

         (c) At the option of the Certificateholders, Certificates may be
exchanged for other Certificates, but solely for Certificates of like Class, in
authorized denominations and the same aggregate Percentage Interests, upon
surrender of the Certificates to be exchanged at any such office or agency.
Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall
execute on behalf of the Trust and shall authenticate and deliver the
Certificates of such Class which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Trustee or the Certificate
Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by, the Holder thereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in
writing. In the case of the Equity Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or exchange, the instrument of transfer shall contain
an investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E, and shall be
accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such transfer will not
subject the Trust or any other Person to federal income taxation as an
association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation or cause the
holders of any Class A and Class M Certificates unaffiliated with the Master
Servicer to recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes.
Every Equity Certificate will bear the legends set forth in Exhibit E.

         (d) Except as provided in Section 6.02(f), the Book-Entry Certificates
shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and at all times: (i) transfers of the Book-Entry Certificates may not
be registered by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and
with respect to ownership and registration of transfers of such Certificates;
(iii) ownership and registration of transfers of the Book-Entry Certificates on
the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by
the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall
deal with the Depository as representative of the Certificate Owners of the
Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under
this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representative
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and Persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.

         (e) All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates
shall be made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository
Participant or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owners. Each
Depository Participant shall only transfer ownership interests represented by
Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners that it represents or of brokerage
firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with the Depository's normal
procedures. The parties hereto are hereby authorized to execute a letter of
representations with the Depository or take such other action as may be
necessary or desirable to register a Book-Entry Certificate to the Depository.
In the event of any conflict between the terms of any such Letter of
Representation and this Agreement the terms of this Agreement shall control.

         (f) If (i) (x) the Depository or the Depositor advises the Trustee in
writing that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly
its responsibilities as Depository

                                      -55-
<PAGE>

and (y) the Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor,
(ii) the Depositor, at its sole option, with the consent of the Trustee, elects
to terminate the book-entry system through the Depository or (iii) after the
occurrence of a Master Servicer Termination Event, the Certificate Owners of the
Class A and Class M Certificates representing Percentage Interests aggregating
not less than 51% advises the Trustee and Depository through the Financial
Intermediaries and the Depository Participants in writing that the continuation
of a book-entry system through the Depository to the exclusion of definitive,
fully registered certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate
Owners is no longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners, upon
surrender to the Certificate Registrar of the Class A and Class M Certificates
by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository
for registration, the Trustee shall, at the Master Servicer's expense, execute
on behalf of the Trust and authenticate the Definitive Certificates. None of the
Depositor, the Master Servicer or the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in
delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates, and the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Master Servicer
and the Depositor shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Certificates as
Certificateholders hereunder.

         (g) No service charge shall be made for any Transfer or exchange of
Certificates of any Class, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any Transfer or exchange of Certificates.

         (h) All Certificates surrendered for Transfer and exchange shall be
cancelled and subsequently disposed of by the Certificate Registrar.

         (i) Except in the case of the initial Transfer to the Depositor, no
Transfer of an Equity Certificate (or any other equity interests in the Trust)
shall be made unless such Transfer is exempt from the registration requirements
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and any applicable state securities
laws or is made in accordance with said Act and laws. Except in the case of the
initial Transfer to the Depositor, as a condition to any Transfer of an Equity
Certificate, (i) the Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable
to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee that such Transfer may
be 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, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the
Master Servicer or the Trust and (ii) the Trustee may require the Transferee to
execute an investment letter acceptable to and in form and substance
satisfactory to the Trustee certifying to the Master Servicer, the Sellers and
the Trustee the facts surrounding such Transfer, which investment letter shall
not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund except
to the extent any of such parties is the transferor of such Certificate. The
Holder of an Equity Certificate desiring to effect such Transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust
against any liability that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not
made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

                                      -56-
<PAGE>

         (j) Except in the case of the initial Transfer of an Equity Certificate
to the Depositor, no Transfer of a Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate or
Equity Certificate with respect to which a Widely-Held Certification was not
delivered (each, an "ERISA-Restricted Certificate") shall be made unless the
Trustee shall have received a representation from the transferee of such
Certificate, acceptable to and in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Depositor, to the effect that such transferee is not an employee benefit plan or
arrangement as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") which is subject to Title I of ERISA
or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code, nor a person acting on behalf of
any such plan or arrangement nor using the assets of any such plan or
arrangement to effect such transfer. In the event that the foregoing
representation is violated, such attempted transfer or acquisition shall be void
and of no effect. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the Holder thereof or taking any other action with respect to such Holder under
the provisions of this Agreement so long as the Transfer was registered by the
Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

         (k) The Equity Certificate may not be offered, transferred or sold
except to the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof that is an institutional
"accredited investor" (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1)-(3) or (7) under the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and who is a United States person (as
defined in Section 7701(a)(30) of the Code) in reliance on an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

         (l) The Equity Certificate may not be sold, pledged, transferred,
assigned, or otherwise conveyed, in whole or in part, without the prior written
approval of the Trustee. A legend to such effect shall be placed on the Equity
Certificate.

         (m) To the fullest extent permitted by law, no admission (or purported
admission) of an Equity Certificateholder, and no transfer (or purported
transfer) of the Equity Certificate (or any economic interest therein) shall be
effective, and any such admission or transfer (or purported admission or
transfer) shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise become an
Equity Certificateholder, and the Trustee shall not register any such admission
or transfer (or purported admission or transfer) unless: (i) such Person is a
U.S. Person, (ii) such Person has delivered to the Trustee an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit E and (iii) such admission or transfer
shall not result in there being more than 95 Private Holders. In addition, if at
any time the representations and warranties of the Depositor made pursuant to
Section 2.04 are untrue, or if at any time the certifications in the investment
letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E are untrue, then the purchase of
the Equity Certificate by such Person shall be void ab initio and of no effect.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Trust shall not recognize any
prohibited transfer described in this paragraph either (i) by redeeming the
transferor's interest, or (ii) by admitting the transferee as an Equity
Certificateholder or otherwise recognizing any right of the transferee
(including any right of the transferee to receive distributions from the Trust,
directly or indirectly). The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon
the certificates and opinions delivered to it hereunder in connection with any
purported transfer.

         Section 6.03. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If (i)
any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the
Certificate Registrar receives

                                      -57-
<PAGE>

evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate, and (ii) there is delivered to the Trustee, the Master Servicer and
the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required by them
to save each of them harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Trustee or
the Certificate Registrar that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide
purchaser, the Trustee shall execute on behalf of the Trust and shall
authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor
and Percentage Interest. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under this
Section, the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may require the payment of 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 and the Certificate Registrar) connected therewith. Any duplicate
Certificate issued pursuant to this Section shall constitute complete and
indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust, as if originally issued,
whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any
time.

         Section 6.04. Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Master Servicer, the Depositor,
the Trustee, [the Certificate Insurer,] the Certificate Registrar and any agent
of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee [, the Certificate Insurer]
or the Certificate Registrar may treat the Person in whose name any Certificate
is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving
distributions pursuant to Section 5.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever,
and none of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, the Trustee, the Certificate
Registrar or any agent of any of them shall be affected by notice to the
contrary.

         Section 6.05. Appointment of Paying Agent.

         (a) The Paying Agent shall make distributions to Certificateholders
from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 5.01 and shall report the
amounts of such distributions to the Trustee. The duties of the Paying Agent may
include the obligation (i) to withdraw funds from the Collection Account
pursuant to Section 3.03 for the purpose of making the distributions referred to
above and (ii) to distribute statements and provide information to
Certificateholders as required hereunder. The Paying Agent hereunder shall at
all times be a corporation duly incorporated and validly existing under the laws
of the United States of America or any state thereof, authorized under such laws
to exercise corporate trust powers and subject to supervision or examination by
federal or state authorities. The Paying Agent shall initially be the Trustee.
The Trustee may appoint a successor to act as Paying Agent, which appointment
shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Depositor [and the Certificate Insurer].

         (b) The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent (if other than the
Trustee) to execute and deliver to the Trustee an instrument in which such
Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee that such Paying Agent shall hold all
sums, if any, held by it for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid
to such Certificateholders and shall agree that it shall comply with all
requirements of the Code regarding the withholding of payments in respect of
federal income taxes due from Certificate Owners and otherwise comply with the
provisions of this Agreement applicable to it.

         Section 6.06. Actions of Certificateholders.

         (a) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by
their agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Trustee and, when required, to the Depositor or the Master
Servicer. Proof of execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing
any such agent shall be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and
conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Depositor and the Master Servicer, if
made in the manner provided in this Section.

         (b) The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.

         (c) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every Holder of every
Certificate issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done,
by the Trustee, the Depositor or the Master Servicer in reliance therein,
whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Certificate.

         (d) The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter
referred to in this Section 6.06 as it shall deem necessary.

                      The Master Servicer and the Depositor

         Section 7.01. Liability of the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The
Master Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Master Servicer
herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent
of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor
herein.

         Section 7.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Master Servicer or the Depositor. Any corporation into which
the Master Servicer or Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any
corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding
to the business of the Master Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor
of the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder, without
the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of
the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

         Section 7.03. Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer, the
Depositor and Others. None of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, or any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Depositor
shall be under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any
action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Master
Servicer or the Depositor, as applicable, in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Master Servicer, the Depositor or any such person against
any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of
reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder, and that this provision
shall not be construed to entitle the Master Servicer to indemnity in the event
that amounts advanced by the Master Servicer to retire any senior Lien exceed
Net Liquidation Proceeds realized with respect to the related Home Equity Loan.
The Master Servicer, the Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Master Servicer or the Depositor may rely in good faith on any document
of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Master Servicer, the Depositor and any
director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Depositor
shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this
Agreement or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related
to any specific Home Equity Loan or Home Equity Loans (except as any such loss,
liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement)
and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by
reason of reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the
Master Servicer nor the Depositor shall be under any obligation to appear in,
prosecute or defend any legal action which is not incidental to its respective
duties under this Agreement, and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expense or liability; provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the
Depositor may, in its sole discretion, undertake any such action which it may
deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement and the rights and
duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Certificateholders
hereunder. In such event,

                                      -60-
<PAGE>

the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom and any claims by the Master Servicer or the Depositor
hereunder for indemnification shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust, and the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor and indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof
from amounts deposited in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.03.
The Master Servicer's and the Depositor's right to indemnity or reimbursement
pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04 or 8.01 with respect to any losses,
expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination
(or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).
The Master Servicer shall have no claim (whether by subrogation or otherwise) or
other action against any Certificateholder for any amounts paid by the Master
Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

         Section 7.04. Master Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions
of Section 7.02, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance
of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any
other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Master Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and
nature carried on by the Master Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at
the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following
conditions: (a) the Master Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the
Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable
to the Trustee [and the Certificate Insurer]; (b) each Rating Agency shall have
confirmed to the Trustee that the appointment of such proposed successor
servicer as Master Servicer hereunder will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Class A or Class M Certificates;
and (c) such proposed successor servicer has agreed in writing to assume the
obligations of Master Servicer hereunder and the Master Servicer has delivered
to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all conditions precedent
to the resignation of the Master Servicer and the appointment of and acceptance
by the proposed successor servicer have been satisfied; provided, however, that
in the case of clause (i) above no such resignation by the Master Servicer shall
become effective until the Trustee shall have assumed the Master Servicer's
responsibilities and obligations hereunder or the Trustee shall have designated
a successor servicer in accordance with Section 8.02. Any such resignation shall
not relieve the Master Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations
specified in Sections 8.01 and 8.02 as obligations that survive the resignation
or termination of the Master Servicer. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Trustee [and
the Certificate Insurer].

         Section 7.05. Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business,
the Master Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any
Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in
accordance with standards comparable to those with which the Master Servicer
complies pursuant to Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Master
Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and
shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 7.04. The
Master Servicer shall provide each Rating Agency [, the Certificate Insurer] and
the Trustee with written notice prior to the delegation of any of its duties to
any Person other than any of the Master Servicer's Affiliates or their
respective successors and assigns.

                       Master Servicer Termination Events

         Section 8.01. Master Servicer Termination Events. If any one of the
following events ("Master Servicer Termination Events") shall occur and be
continuing:

              (a) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the
         Collection Account any deposit required to be made under the terms of
         this Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five (5)
         Business Days after the date upon which written notice of such failure
         shall have been given to the Master Servicer by the Trustee or the
         Depositor, or to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee by
         [the Certificate Insurer or] Holders of Certificates evidencing not
         less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Class A and
         Class M Certificates; or

              (b) Any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe
         or perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of
         the Master Servicer set forth in the Certificates or in this Agreement,
         which failure (A) materially and adversely affects the interests of
         Certificateholders and (B) continues unremedied for a period of sixty
         (60) days after the date on which written notice of such failure,
         requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to the Master
         Servicer by the Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer,
         the Depositor and the Trustee by [the Certificate Insurer or] Holders
         of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate
         Percentage Interests of the Class A and Class M Certificates; or

              (c) The entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order by
         a court or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the
         premises for the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or
         liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship, receivership,
         readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
         proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, and
         the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect for
         a period of 60 consecutive days; or

              (d) The consent by the Master Servicer to the appointment of a
         trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
         conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of
         assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the
         Master Servicer or of or relating to substantially all of its property;
         or the Master 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 or reorganization statute, make an
         assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend
         payment of its obligations;

then, and in each and every case, so long as a Master Servicer Termination Event
shall not have been remedied by the Master Servicer, either the Trustee[, the
Certificate Insurer] or the Depositor may, and at the direction of Holders of
Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests
of the Class A and Class M Certificates [(with the consent of the Certificate
Insurer so long as no Certificate Insurer Default exists)], the Trustee shall,
by notice then given in writing to the Master Servicer, the Depositor[, the
Certificate Insurer] and the Trustee, as applicable, terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Master Servicer as master servicer under this Agreement;
provided, however, that the responsibilities and duties of

                                      -62-
<PAGE>

the initial Master Servicer with respect to the purchase of Home Equity Loans
pursuant to Sections 2.04(c) and 3.01 shall not terminate. Any such notice to
the Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency. On or after the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of, and all benefits accruing to, the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Certificates or the Home Equity Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee or, if a successor Master Servicer
has been appointed under Section 8.02, such successor Master Servicer pursuant
to and under this Section 8.01; and, without limitation, the Trustee is hereby
authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of the Master
Servicer, 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 transfer and endorsement of each Home Equity Loan and related
documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the
Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee for the administration by it of all cash amounts that shall at the time
be held by the terminated Master Servicer and to be deposited by it in the
Collection Account, or that have been deposited by the terminated Master
Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter received by the terminated
Master Servicer with respect to the Home Equity Loans.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance
under Section 8.01(a) for a period of five (5) Business Days or under Section
8.01(b) for a period of sixty (60) days, shall not constitute a Master Servicer
Termination Event if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the
exercise of reasonable diligence by the Master Servicer and such delay or
failure was caused by an act of God, acts of declared or undeclared war, public
disorder, terrorism, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning,
fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence
shall not relieve the Master Servicer from using its best efforts to perform its
obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
and the Master Servicer shall provide the Trustee, the Depositor [, the
Certificate Insurer] and the Class A and Class M Certificateholders with an
Officer's Certificate giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it,
together with a description of its efforts to so perform its obligations. The
Master Servicer shall immediately notify the Trustee [, the Certificate Insurer]
and each Rating Agency in writing of any Master Servicer Termination Events.

              Section 8.02. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

              (a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
         resignation or termination pursuant to Section 7.04 or 8.01, the
         Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer
         in its capacity as servicer 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
         Master Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof; provided, however,
         that the responsibilities and duties of HFC as Master Servicer with
         respect to the purchase of the Home Equity Loans pursuant to Sections
         2.04(c) and 3.01 shall not terminate. As compensation therefor, the
         Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the Master Servicer
         would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of termination
         had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Trustee is
         unwilling to act as successor Master Servicer, or (ii) if the Trustee
         is legally unable so to act, the Trustee may (in the situation
         described in clause (i)) or shall (in the

                                      -63-
<PAGE>

         situation described in clause (ii)) appoint, or petition a court of
         competent jurisdiction to appoint, any housing and home finance
         institution or other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having
         all licenses and permits required in order to perform its obligations
         hereunder and a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 as the successor
         to the Master Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part
         of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Master Servicer
         hereunder; provided that [any such successor Servicer shall be
         acceptable to the Certificate Insurer, as evidenced by the Certificate
         Insurer's prior written consent which consent shall not be unreasonably
         withheld; and provided further that] that the appointment of any such
         successor Master Servicer will not result in the qualification,
         reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating assigned to either
         the Class A or Class M Certificates by the Rating Agencies, as
         evidenced by a writing to such effect delivered to the Trustee [and the
         Certificate Insurer]. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master
         Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so
         acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.
         In connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall
         be entitled to receive compensation out of payments on Home Equity
         Loans in an amount equal to the compensation which the Master Servicer
         would otherwise have received pursuant to Section 3.09 (or such lesser
         compensation as the Trustee and such successor shall agree). The
         Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
         Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

         (b) Any successor, including the Trustee, to the Master Servicer as
master servicer shall during the term of its service as master servicer (i)
continue to service and administer the Home Equity Loans for the benefit of
Certificateholders and (ii) maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and
agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to
Section 3.13. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect
any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under
this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer (including, without
limitation, any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.04),
nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of
the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer or the
Depositor of any of their representations or warranties contained herein or in
any related document or agreement.

         Section 8.03. Notification to Certificateholders. Upon any termination
or appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Article
VIII, the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to [the Certificate
Insurer,] the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the
Certificate Register and each Rating Agency.

                                   The Trustee

         Section 9.01. Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence
of an Master Servicer Termination Events and after the curing of all Master
Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such
duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If
a Master Servicer Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee shall have actual knowledge has occurred (which has not been cured), the
Trustee shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement,
and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent person
would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

         The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

         No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:

         (a) prior to the occurrence of an Master Servicer Termination Event of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee shall have actual knowledge, and
after the curing of all such Master Servicer Termination Events which may have
occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely
by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically
set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read
into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the
part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the
statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any
certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the
requirements of this Agreement;

         (b) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for an error of judgment
made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be
proved that the Trustee was negligent in performing its duties in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement;

         (c) the Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance
with the consent or in accordance with the direction of the Holders of Class A
and Class M Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate
Percentage Interests of the Class A and Class M Certificates [(with the consent
of the Certificate Insurer, so long as no Certificate Insurer Default exists (a
copy of which consent shall be delivered to the Trustee))] 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
Agreement; and

                                      -65-
<PAGE>

         (d) the Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any failure by
the Master Servicer to comply with the obligations of the Master Servicer
referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of Section 8.01 unless a Responsible Officer
of the Trustee obtains actual knowledge of such failure or the Trustee receives
written notice of such failure from the Master Servicer [, the Certificate
Insurer] or the Holders of Class A and Class M Certificates evidencing not less
than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the Class A and Class M
Certificates.

         The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or
otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties
hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is
reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate
indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it, and
none of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require
the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any
of the obligations of the Master Servicer under this Agreement, except during
such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with
the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Master Servicer in accordance
with the terms of this Agreement.

         Section 9.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 9.01:

         (a) the Trustee may request and rely upon, and shall be protected in
acting or refraining from acting upon, any resolution, Officer's Certificate,
Servicing Certificate, certificate of auditors or any other certificate,
statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order,
appraisal, bond or other paper or document reasonably believed by it to be
genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties;

         (b) the Trustee may consult with counsel and any written advice or
Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and protection in
respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder in good faith
and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;

         (c) the Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the
rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or
direction of [the Certificate Insurer or] any of the Certificateholders,
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless [the Certificate Insurer
or] such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; nothing contained herein shall, however, relieve
the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of a Master Servicer
Termination Event of which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual
knowledge (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers
vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in
their exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances
in the conduct of his own affairs;

         (d) the Trustee shall not be personally liable for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;

                                      -66-
<PAGE>

         (e) prior to the occurrence of a Master Servicer Termination Event of
which a Responsible Officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge and after the
curing of all Master Servicer Termination Events which may have occurred, the
Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report,
notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or documents,
unless requested in writing to do so by Holders of Class A and Class M
Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests
of the Class A and Class M Certificates [(with the consent of the Certificate
Insurer, so long as no Certificate Insurer Default exists (a copy of which
consent shall be delivered to the Trustee))]; provided, however, that if the
payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is,
in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to
such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid
by the Master Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the
Master Servicer upon demand. Nothing in this clause (e) shall derogate from the
obligation of the Master Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Mortgagors; and

         (f) the Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian (except that the Trustee shall not be responsible for
selecting the Master Servicer as custodian and bailee).

         Section 9.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Home Equity Loans.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) shall be taken as the
statements of the Master Servicer, and the Trustee assumes no responsibility for
the correctness of the same. The Trustee makes no representations as to the
validity or sufficiency of this Agreement or of the Certificates (other than the
signature and authentication of the Trustee on the Certificates) or of any Home
Equity Loan or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the
use or application by the Master Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the
proceeds of such Certificates, or for the use or application of any funds paid
to the Depositor or the Master Servicer in respect of the Home Equity Loans or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Collection Account by the Master Servicer.
The Trustee shall at no time have any responsibility or liability for or with
respect to the legality, validity and enforceability of any Mortgage or any Home
Equity Loan, or the perfection and priority of any Mortgage or the maintenance
of any such perfection and priority, or for or with respect to the sufficiency
of the Trust or its ability to generate the payments to be distributed to
Certificateholders under this Agreement, including, without limitation: the
existence, condition and ownership of any Mortgaged Property; the existence and
enforceability of any hazard insurance thereon (other than if the Trustee shall
assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); the
existence and contents of any Home Equity Loan on any computer or other record
thereof (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); the validity of the assignment of any Home
Equity Loan to the Trust or of any intervening assignment; the completeness of
any Home Equity Loan; the performance or enforcement of any Home Equity Loan
(other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer
pursuant to Section 8.02); the compliance by the Depositor or the Master
Servicer with any warranty or representation made under this Agreement or in any
related document or the accuracy of any such warranty or representation prior to
the Trustee's receipt of

                                      -67-
<PAGE>

notice or other discovery of any non-compliance therewith or any breach thereof;
any investment of monies by or at the direction of the Master Servicer or any
loss resulting therefrom, it being understood that the Trustee shall remain
responsible for any Trust property that it may hold in its individual capacity;
the acts or omissions of the Depositor, the Master Servicer (other than if the
Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
8.02), any Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02 and shall engage such Servicer as its
subservicer) or any Mortgagor; any action of the Master Servicer (other than if
the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
8.02), or any Servicer (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02 and shall engage such Servicer as its
subservicer) taken in the name of the Trustee; or any action by the Trustee
taken at the instruction of the Master Servicer in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement (other than if the Trustee shall assume the duties of the Master
Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02); provided, however, that the foregoing shall
not relieve the Trustee of its obligation to perform its duties under this
Agreement. The Trustee shall have no responsibility for filing any financing or
continuation statement in any public office at any time or to otherwise perfect
or maintain the perfection of any security interest or lien granted to it
hereunder (unless the Trustee shall have become the successor Master Servicer)
or to prepare or file any Securities and Exchange Commission filing for the
Trust or to record this Agreement.

         Section 9.04. Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its
individual or any other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates
and may transact business with the Depositor, the Master Servicer [, the
Certificate Insurer] and their Affiliates with the same rights as it would have
if it were not Trustee.

         Section 9.05. Master Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The
Master Servicer covenants and agrees to pay to the Trustee from time to time,
and the Trustee shall be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not
be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of
an express trust) for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trusts
hereby created and in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and
duties hereunder of the Trustee, and the Master Servicer will pay or reimburse
the Trustee upon its request for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and
advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any of the
provisions of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in
its employ) except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from
its negligence or bad faith. In addition, the Master Servicer and the Depositor,
jointly and severally, covenant and agree to indemnify the Trustee from, and
hold it harmless against, any and all losses, liabilities, damages, claims or
expenses other than those resulting from the Trustee's willful malfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence or by reason of the Trustee's reckless disregard of
its obligations and duties hereunder.

         Section 9.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a corporation duly incorporated and validly
existing under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 and subject to supervision or
examination by federal or state authority. If such corporation publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of the
aforesaid supervising or examining

                                      -68-
<PAGE>

authority, then for the purposes of this Section, the combined capital and
surplus of such corporation shall be deemed to be its combined capital and
surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. The
principal office of the Trustee (other than the initial Trustee) shall be in a
state with respect to which an Opinion of Counsel has been delivered to such
Trustee at the time such Trustee is appointed Trustee to the effect that the
Trust will not be a taxable entity under the laws of such state. In case at any
time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 9.07.

         Section 9.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to the Depositor, the Master Servicer [, the Certificate Insurer]
and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one
copy to the successor Trustee; provided, however, that any such successor
Trustee shall be subject to the prior written approval of the Master Servicer.
If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and have accepted
appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of resignation, the
resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor Trustee.

         If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Depositor [with the consent of the Certificate Insurer
(so long as no Certificate Insurer Default exists) or the Certificate Insurer],
or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally unable to act, or shall be
adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of the Trustee or of its
property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall take charge or control
of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation,
conservation or liquidation, then the Depositor [or the Certificate Insurer] may
remove the Trustee. If the Depositor [or the Certificate Insurer] removes the
Trustee under the authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Depositor
shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee [(approved in writing by the
Certificate Insurer, so long as such approval is not unreasonably withheld)] by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor Trustee.

         Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section shall not
become effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as
provided in Section 9.08.

         [Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as
no Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Trustee may not be removed by the
Depositor or the Certificateholders without the prior written consent of the
Certificate Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.]

         Section 9.08. Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
provided in Section 9.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Depositor
[, the Certificate Insurer] and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument
accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal
of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such

                                      -69-
<PAGE>

successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The
Depositor, the Master Servicer [, the Certificate Insurer] and the predecessor
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

         No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section unless at the time of such acceptance (i) such successor Trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06, (ii) the unsecured long-term
debt of such successor Trustee is rated at least "A3" by Moody's or (iii) the
Rating Agencies have confirmed that such successor Trustee will not result in a
withdrawal or a downgrading of the then current rating on the Class A or Class M
Certificates. The predecessor Trustee shall notify the Rating Agency of the
appointment of any successor Trustee.

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section, the Master Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
Trustee hereunder to all Holders of Certificates at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register and to each Rating Agency. If the Master Servicer fails
to mail such notice within 30 days after acceptance of appointment by the
successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at
the expense of the Master Servicer.

         [Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, so long as
no Certificate Insurer Default exists, the appointment of any successor Trustee
pursuant to any provision of this Agreement will be subject to the prior written
consent of the Certificate Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.]

         Section 9.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any corporation into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation
succeeding to all or substantially all of the business of the Trustee, shall be
the successor of the Trustee hereunder, provided that such corporation shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

         Section 9.10. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, at any time, for the
purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part
of the Trust or any Mortgaged Property may at the time be located, the Depositor
and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and
deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by them to act
as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or
separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person
or Persons, in such capacity and for the benefit of the Certificateholders, such
title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of
this Section, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Master
Servicer and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. Any such
co-trustee or separate trustee shall be subject to the written approval of the
Master Servicer [and the Certificate Insurer, whose consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld]. If the Master Servicer shall not have joined

                                      -70-
<PAGE>
in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to
do, or in the case an Master Servicer Termination Events shall have occurred and
be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment.
No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms
of eligibility as a successor Trustee under Section 9.06 and no notice to
Certificateholders of the appointment of any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall be required under Section 9.08.

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

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

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

         (c) the Master Servicer and the Trustee acting jointly may at any time
accept the resignation of or remove any separate trustee or co-trustee, except
that following the occurrence of a Master Servicer Termination Event which has
not been cured, the Trustee acting alone may accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee or co-trustee.

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

         Any separate trustee or 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 separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor Trustee.

         Section 9.11. Trustee May Enforce Claims Without Possession of
Certificates. All rights of action and claims under this Agreement or the
Certificates may be prosecuted and enforced by the Trustee without the
possession of any of the Certificates or the production thereof in any
proceeding relating thereto. Any such proceeding instituted by the Trustee shall
be brought in its own name or in its capacity as Trustee. Any recovery of
judgment shall, after provision for the payment of the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Trustee, its agents and counsel, be
for the benefit of the Certificateholders [and the Certificate Insurer].

         Section 9.12. Inspection of Mortgage Files. Following the time that the
Mortgage Files have been delivered to the Trustee upon reasonable prior notice
and during regular business hours, the Trustee shall permit representatives of
applicable state regulatory agencies to inspect the Mortgage Files on the
Trustee's premises or shall provide such documents at such places required by
state regulations, including the offices of the Servicers. Any loss incurred by
the Trustee in fulfilling such obligations shall be paid by the Master Servicer.

         Section 9.13. Tax Returns. In the event the Trust shall be required to
file tax returns, the Master Servicer, as soon as practicable after it is made
aware of such requirement, shall prepare or cause to be prepared any tax returns
required to be filed by the Trust for execution by the Person holding the
largest percentage of the Equity Certificate, or such other Person as may be
required by law and, to the extent possible, shall file such returns at least
five days before such returns are due to be filed. The Master Servicer shall
also prepare or cause to be prepared all tax information required by law to be
distributed to Certificateholders and shall deliver such information to the
Trustee at least five days prior to the date it is required by law to be
distributed to Certificateholders. The Master Servicer, upon request, shall
furnish the Trustee with all such information known to the Master Servicer as
may be reasonably required in connection with the preparation of all tax returns
of the Trust. In no event shall the Trustee or the Master Servicer be liable for
any liabilities, costs or expenses of the Trust, the Certificateholders or the
Certificate Owners arising under any tax law, including without limitation
federal, state, local or foreign income taxes or any other tax imposed on or
measured by income (or any interest or penalty with respect thereto or arising
from a failure to comply therewith)

         Section 9.14. Calculation of LIBOR. Until the Principal Balance of each
of the Class A and Class M Certificates has been reduced to zero, the Trustee
shall establish LIBOR on each LIBOR Determination Date as follows:

         (a) If on such LIBOR Determination Date a rate for United States dollar
deposits for one month appears on the Dow Jones Telerate System, page 3750,
LIBOR for the next Accrual Period shall be equal to such rate as of 11:00 A.M.,
London time;

         (b) If such rate does not appear on such page (or such other page as
may replace that page on that service, or if such service is no longer offered,
such other service for displaying LIBOR or comparable rates as may be selected
by the Trustee after consultation with the Master Servicer), the rate shall be
determined as follows:

                                      -72-
<PAGE>

              (i) The Trustee on the LIBOR Determination Date will request the
         principal London offices of each of four major reference banks in the
         London interbank market, as selected by the Trustee, to provide the
         Trustee with its offered quotation for deposits in United States
         dollars for the upcoming one-month period, commencing on the second
         LIBOR Business Day immediately following such LIBOR Determination Date,
         to prime banks in the London interbank market at approximately 11:00
         a.m. London time on such LIBOR Determination Date and in a principal
         amount that is representative for a single transaction in United States
         dollars in such market at such time. If at least two such quotations
         are provided, LIBOR determined on such LIBOR Determination Date will be
         the arithmetic mean of such quotations.

              (ii) If fewer than two quotations are provided, LIBOR determined
         on such LIBOR Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of the
         rates quoted at approximately 11:00 a.m. in New York City on such LIBOR
         Determination Date by three major banks in New York City selected by
         the Trustee for one-month United States dollar loans to leading
         European banks, in a principal amount that is representative for a
         single transaction in United States dollars in such market at such
         time; provided, however, that if the banks so selected by the Trustee
         are not quoting as mentioned in this sentence, LIBOR determined on such
         LIBOR Determination Date will continue to be LIBOR as then currently in
         effect on such LIBOR Determination Date.

         (c) The establishment of LIBOR on each LIBOR Determination Date by the
Trustee and the Trustee's calculation of the rate of interest applicable to the
Class A and Class M Certificates for the related Accrual Period shall (in the
absence of manifest error) be final and binding.

         Section 9.15. [Rights of the Certificate Insurer to Exercise Rights of
Class A and Class M Certificateholders. By accepting its Certificate, each
Holder of a Class A or Class M Certificate agrees that unless a Certificate
Insurer Default exists, the Certificate Insurer shall be deemed to be the
Certificateholders for all purposes (other than with respect to payment on the
Certificates) and shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Class A
Certificateholders under this Agreement and under each Class of Class A
Certificates without any further consent of the Class A Certificateholders,
including, without limitation:

              (i) the right to require the Depositor or the Master Servicer to
         repurchase Home Equity Loans pursuant to Section 2.04;

              (ii) the right to give notices of breach or to terminate the
         rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as master servicer
         pursuant to Section 8.01;

              (iii) the right to direct actions of the Trustee pursuant to
         Section 9.01;

              (iv) [Reserved]

              (v) the right to direct the Trustee to investigate certain matters
         pursuant to Section 9.02;

              (vi) the right to remove the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.07;

                                      -73-
<PAGE>

              (vii) the right to direct foreclosures upon the failure of the
         Master Servicer to do so in accordance with this Agreement; and

              (viii) any rights or remedies expressly given the Majority
         Certificateholders.

In addition, each Certificateholder agrees that unless a Certificate Insurer
Default exists, the rights specifically enumerated in this Agreement may be
exercised by the Certificateholders only with the prior written consent of the
Certificate Insurer.]

         Section 9.16. [Trustee to Act Solely with Consent of the Certificate
Insurer. Unless a Certificate Insurer Default exists, the Trustee shall not,
without the Certificate Insurer's consent or unless directed by the Certificate
Insurer:

              (i) terminate the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as
         Master Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01;

              (ii) agree to any amendment pursuant to Article XI, provided,
         however, that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; or

              (iii) undertake any litigation.

         The Certificate Insurer may, in writing delivered to the Trustee and in
its sole discretion renounce all or any of its rights under Section 9.15, 9.16
or 9.17 or any requirement for the Certificate Insurer's consent for any period
of time.]

         Section 9.17. [Home Equity Loans, Trust and Accounts Held for Benefit
of the Certificate Insurer. The Trustee shall hold the Trust (as set forth in
Section 2.01), for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Certificate
Insurer and all references in this Agreement and in the Certificates to the
benefit of Holders of the Certificates shall be deemed to include the
Certificate Insurer. The Trustee shall cooperate in all reasonable respects with
any reasonable request by the Certificate Insurer for action to preserve or
enforce the Certificate Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement and
the Certificates unless, as stated in an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee and the Certificate Insurer, such action is adverse to the interests of
the Certificateholders or diminishes the rights of the Certificateholders or
imposes additional burdens or restrictions on the Certificateholders.

         The Master Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall
service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Certificateholders and for the
benefit of the Certificate Insurer, and all references in this Agreement to the
benefit of or actions on behalf of the Certificateholders shall be deemed to
include the Certificate Insurer.]

         Section 9.18. [Certificate Insurer Default. Notwithstanding anything
elsewhere in this Agreement or in the Certificates to the contrary, if a
Certificate Insurer Default exists, or if and to the extent the Certificate
Insurer has delivered its written renunciation of its rights, the provisions of
this Article IX and all other provisions of this Agreement which (a) permit the
Certificate Insurer to exercise rights of the Certificateholders, (b) restrict
the ability of the Certificateholders, the Master Servicer or the Trustee to act

such action to any liability hereunder or (f) which have a similar effect, shall
be of no further force and effect and the Trustee shall administer the Trust and
perform its obligations hereunder solely for the benefit of the Holders of the
Certificates. Nothing in the foregoing sentence, nor any action taken pursuant
thereto or in compliance therewith, shall be deemed to have released the
Certificate Insurer from any obligation or liability it may have to any party or
to the Certificateholders hereunder, under any other agreement, instrument or
document (including, without limitation, the Certificate Insurance Policy) or
under applicable law.]

                                   Termination

         Section 10.01. Termination.

         (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee created hereby (other than the
obligation of the Trustee to make certain payments to Certificateholders after
the final Distribution Date, the obligations of the Depositor and the Master
Servicer under Section 9.05 and the obligation of the Master Servicer to send
certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall terminate upon the last action
required to be taken by the Trustee pursuant to this Article X on the [later of
(1) the payment in full of all amounts owing to the Certificate Insurer, unless
the Certificate Insurer shall otherwise consent and (2) the] earliest of (i) the
repurchase by the Master Servicer of all Home Equity Loans and all property
acquired in respect of any Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust at a price
(the "Termination Price") equal to the greatest of (A) the sum of (x) 100% of
the Principal Balance of each Home Equity Loan (other than any Home Equity Loan
as to which title to the underlying Mortgaged Property has been acquired and
whose fair market value is included pursuant to clause (y) below) as of the
first day of the Collection Period preceding the Distribution Date upon which
the proceeds of any repurchase are to be distributed and (y) the fair market
value of such acquired property (as determined by the Master Servicer as of the
close of business on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which
notice of any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 10.01(e)) plus, in each case, one month's interest at the applicable Net
Loan Rate on the Principal Balance of each Home Equity Loan (including any Home
Equity Loan as to which title to the underlying Mortgaged Property has been
acquired), (B) the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Master
Servicer as of the close of business on such third preceding Business Day) of
all of the assets of the Trust, and (C) the sum of the Certificate Principal
Balance of the Class A and Class M Certificates, together with any unpaid
Interest Carry Forward Amounts and Supplemental Interest Amounts allocable to
such Classes, plus one month's interest on such Certificate Principal Balance
and any unpaid Interest Carry Forward Amounts and Supplemental Interest Amounts
at the related Pass-Through Rates, [plus all amounts due and owing to the
Certificate Insurer,] or (ii) the final payment or other liquidation of the
Principal Balance of the last Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust or the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure of any Home Equity Loan or (iii) the Distribution Date in [ ];
provided that in no event shall the Trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James's, living on the date hereof. Upon termination in accordance with clause
(i), (ii) or (iii) of this Section 10.01, the Trustee shall execute such
documents and instruments of transfer, in each case without recourse,
representation or warranty, presented by the Depositor and take such other
actions as the Depositor may reasonably request to effect the retransfer of the
Home Equity Loans to the Depositor. [The Certificate Insurer may exercise the
Master Servicer's right to terminate the Agreement and purchase the outstanding
Home Equity Loans at the Termination Price if the Master Servicer opts not to
exercise such right.]

         (b) The right of the Master Servicer to repurchase all Home Equity
Loans pursuant to clause (i) of Section 10.01(a) above is conditioned upon the
aggregate Certificate Principal

                                      -76-
<PAGE>
Balance of the Class A and Class M Certificates being less than [ ] percent
([ ]%) of the initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A and
Class M Certificates. The Master Servicer may exercise such right on the first
Distribution Date following the date on which the aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance of the Class A and Class M Certificates was reduced to less
than [ ] percent ([ ]%) of the initial aggregate Certificate Principal Balance
of the Class A and Class M Certificates and any Distribution Date thereafter
with respect to which the conditions specified in the preceding sentence are
satisfied unless the Trustee has accepted a qualifying bid for the Home Equity
Loans pursuant to subsection (c) below. If such right is exercised, the Trustee
shall, promptly following payment of the repurchase price, execute proper
instruments acknowledging termination and discharge of this Agreement.

         (c) If the Master Servicer does not repurchase all of the Home Equity
Loans pursuant to clause (i) of Section 10.01(a) above within three (3) months
of the first Distribution Date upon which such repurchase option may occur and
all of the Home Equity Loans have not been sold by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 5.01(b), then promptly on the following Distribution Date the Trustee
shall begin a process for soliciting bids in connection with an auction of the
Home Equity Loans. The Trustee shall provide the Master Servicer [and the
Certificate Insurer] written notice of such auction at least ten (10) Business
Days prior to the date bids must be received in such auction (the "Auction
Date"). The auction shall be conducted as follows:

              (i) If at least two bids are received, the Trustee shall solicit
         and resolicit new bids from all participating bidders until only one
         bid remains or the remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids. The
         Trustee shall accept the highest of such remaining bids if it is equal
         to or in excess of the Termination Price. If less than two bids are
         received or the highest bid after the resolicitation process is
         completed is not equal to or in excess of the Termination Price, the
         Trustee shall not consummate such sale. If a bid equaling the
         Termination Price is received, then the Trustee may, and if so
         requested by the Master Servicer shall, consult with a financial
         advisor, which may be an underwriter of the Certificates, to determine
         if the fair market value of the Home Equity Loans and related property
         has been offered.

              (ii) If the first auction conducted by the Trustee does not
         produce any bid at least equal to the Termination Price, then the
         Trustee shall, beginning on the Distribution Date occurring
         approximately three months after the Auction Date for the failed first
         auction (provided that all of the Home Equity Loans have not been sold
         by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01(b)), commence another auction
         in accordance with the requirements of this subsection (c). If such
         second auction does not produce any bid at least equal to the
         Termination Price, then the Trustee shall, beginning on the
         Distribution Date occurring approximately three months after the
         Auction Date for the failed second auction, commence another auction in
         accordance with the requirements of this subsection (c), and shall
         continue to conduct similar auctions approximately every three months
         thereafter until the earliest of (i) delivery by the Master Servicer of
         notice of exercise of its repurchase option pursuant to clause (i) of
         Section 10.01(a) above, (ii) receipt by the Trustee of a bid meeting
         the conditions specified in the preceding paragraph, or (iii) the
         Distribution Date on which the Principal Balance of all the Home Equity
         Loans is reduced to zero.

                                      -77-
<PAGE>

              (iii) If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions
         specified in this subsection (c), then the Trustee shall release to the
         winning bidder, upon payment of the bid purchase price, the Mortgage
         Files pertaining to the Home Equity Loans being purchased and take such
         other actions as the winning bidder may reasonably request to effect
         the transfer of the Home Equity Loans to the winning bidder.

         (d) [Reserved].

         (e) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Distribution Date) upon which the
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Master Servicer, if the
Depositor is exercising its right to retransfer the Home Equity Loans) [to the
Certificate Insurer and] by letter to Certificateholders mailed not earlier than
the [15th] day and not later than the [25th] day of the month next preceding the
month of such final distribution specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which
final distribution of the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable,
distributions being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. In the
event written directions are delivered by the Master Servicer to the Trustee as
described in the preceding sentence, the Depositor shall deposit in the
Collection Account on or before the Distribution Date for such final
distribution in immediately available funds an amount which, when added to the
funds on deposit in the Collection Account that are payable to the related
Certificateholders, will be equal to the purchase price for the assets of the
Trust computed as above provided.

         (f) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed to the Certificateholders on the Distribution Date
for such final distribution, in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests, an amount equal to (i) as to the Class A or Class M Certificates,
such Class' appropriate share of the Principal Distribution Amount, any Interest
Carry Forward Amounts and one month's interest at the related Pass-Through Rate
on such Certificate Principal Balance and (ii) as to the Equity Certificate the
amount which remains on deposit in the Collection Account (other than the
amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (i) above.
The distribution on such final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the
distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in respect
of each Class of Certificates. [On the final Distribution Date, the Trustee will
withdraw from the Collection Account and remit to the Certificate Insurer the
lesser of (x) the amount available for distribution on such final Distribution
Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to pay Holders of Class A and Class M
Certificates pursuant to this Section 10.01 and any amounts owing to the Trustee
in respect of the Trustee fee and due and unpaid Skip-A-Pay Advances and
Servicing Fees, and (y) the unpaid amounts due and owing to the Certificate
Insurer pursuant to Section 5.01(a).]

         (g) In the event that all of the Certificateholders shall not surrender
their Certificates for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall on such date cause all funds in the
Collection Account not distributed in final distribution to

                                      -78-

Certificateholders to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining
Certificateholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Certificateholders and the Depositor (if the Depositor has
exercised its right to retransfer the Home Equity Loans) or the Trustee (in any
other case) and the Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within one year after the second
notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for cancellation,
any funds deposited in such escrow account and remaining unclaimed shall be paid
by the Trustee to the Master Servicer and thereafter Certificateholders shall
look only to the Master Servicer with respect to any claims in respect of such
funds.

                            Miscellaneous Provisions

         Section 11.01. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended from time to
time by the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee, in each case without
the consent of any of the Certificateholders [but only with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer (a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee)], (i) to
cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein that may
be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or to correct any error, (iii)
to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Trustee or the Master Servicer, (iv)
to add, amend or modify any other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement [or the Certificate Insurance Policy],
which shall not be inconsistent with this Agreement, (v) to add or amend any
provisions of this Agreement as required by any Rating Agency or any other
nationally recognized statistical rating agency in order to maintain or improve
any rating of the Class A and Class M Certificates (it being understood that,
after obtaining the ratings in effect on the Closing Date, neither the Trustee,
the Depositor nor the Master Servicer is obligated to obtain, maintain or
improve any such rating), (vi) to comply with any requirement imposed by changes
in accounting policies that do not materially impact the Class A and Class M
Certificates, or (vii) to comply with any requirements imposed by the Code;
provided, however, that as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (a copy of which
shall be delivered to the Trustee) (at the expense of the requesting party), in
each case (other than a case arising under clause (vi) or (vii)) such action
shall not materially and adversely affect the interests of any Class A and Class
M Certificateholder; and provided, further, that the amendment shall not be
deemed to adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the Class A
and Class M Certificateholders and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be
required if the Person requesting the amendment receives a confirmation from
each Rating Agency stating that the amendment would not result in the
downgrading or withdrawal of the respective ratings then assigned to the Class A
and Class M Certificates.

         This Agreement also may be amended from time to time by the Master
Servicer, the Depositor and the Trustee [, and the Certificate Insurer may from
time to time consent to the amendment of the Certificate Insurance Policy], in
each case with the consent of the Holders of the Class A and Class M
Certificates which is affected by such amendment, evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 51% in Percentage Interests of such Class or
in the case of an amendment which affects all classes, evidencing Percentage
Interests aggregating not less than 51% of all Classes [with the consent of the
Certificate Insurer (a copy of which shall be delivered to the Trustee)], for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights
of the Certificateholders; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, collections of
payments on Home Equity Loans, (ii) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay
the timing of, payments on the Certificates [or distributions or payments under
the Certificate Insurance Policy] which are required to be made on any
Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such Certificate, (iii) impair
the right of any Certificateholder to institute suit for the enforcement of the
provisions of the Agreement, (iv) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to
consent to any such amendment, (v) create a material risk of the Trust incurring
taxes imposed under the Code or of the Class A Certificates or Class M
Certificates not being treated as indebtedness under the Code, or (vi) result in
a downgrading

                                      -80-
<PAGE>

of the ratings of the Class A and Class M Certificates without, in each case,
the consent of the Holders of all Classes of Certificates then outstanding or
each Class of Certificates affected thereby.

         Prior to the solicitation of consent of Certificateholders in
connection with any such amendment, the party seeking such amendment shall
furnish the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel stating whether such amendment
would create a material risk of the Trust incurring taxes imposed under the Code
and notice of the conclusion expressed in such Opinion of Counsel shall be
included with any such solicitation. An amendment made with the consent of all
Certificateholders and executed in accordance with this Section shall be
permitted or authorized by this Agreement notwithstanding that such Opinion of
Counsel may conclude that such amendment would create a material risk of the
Trust incurring taxes imposed under the Code.

         Prior to the execution of any such amendment made with the consent of
Certificateholders, the Master Servicer shall furnish written notification of
the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency. In addition, promptly
after the execution of any such amendment made with the consent of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written notification of the
substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder [and the fully executed
original counterparts of the instruments effecting such amendment to the
Certificate Insurer].

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the
authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to
such reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

         Prior to the execution of any amendment to this Agreement, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive and rely upon an Opinion of Counsel stating that
the execution of such amendment is authorized or permitted by this Agreement.
The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such amendment
which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under this
Agreement.

         Section 11.02. Recordation of Agreement. This Agreement is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all
the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
Mortgaged Properties are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording
office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer and
at its expense on direction by the Trustee (which shall not have any duty to
determine whether such recordation should be made), but only upon direction of
the Trustee or the Master Servicer accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests
of Certificateholders [or the Certificate Insurer].

         For the purpose of facilitating the recordation of this Agreement as
herein provided and for other purposes, this Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall
be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and
the same instrument.

         Section 11.03. Limitation on Rights of Certificateholders. The death or
incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to terminate this
Agreement or the Trust, nor entitle such Certificateholder's legal
representatives or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a partition or winding up of the Trust,
nor otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.

         No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided
in Section 11.01) or in any manner otherwise control the operation and
management of the Trust, or the obligations of the parties hereto, nor shall
anything herein set forth, or contained in the terms of the Certificates, be
construed so as to constitute the Certificateholders from time to time as
partners or members of an association; nor shall any Certificateholder be under
any liability to any third person by reason of any action taken by the parties
to this Agreement pursuant to any provision hereof.

         No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing
itself of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or
proceeding in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement,

of default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
also the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate
Percentage Interests of the Class A and Class M Certificates shall have made
written request upon the Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in
its own name as Trustee hereunder and shall have offered to the Trustee such
reasonable indemnity as it may require against the costs, expenses and
liabilities to be incurred therein or thereby, and the Trustee, for 60 days
after its receipt of such notice, request and offer of indemnity, shall have
neglected or refused to institute any such action, suit or proceeding; it being
understood and intended, and being expressly covenanted by each
Certificateholder with every other Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no
one or more Holders of Certificates shall have any right in any manner whatever
by virtue or by availing itself or themselves of any provisions of this
Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the Holders of any other
of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek to obtain priority over or preference
to any other such Holder, or to enforce any right under this Agreement, except
in the manner herein provided and for the equal, ratable and common benefit of
all Certificateholders. For the protection and enforcement of the provisions of
this Section, each and every Certificateholder and the Trustee shall be entitled
to such relief as can be given either at law or in equity.

                                   Schedule 1

              PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

The Depositor hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Trustee as to
itself and the Sellers as follows on the Closing Date and on each Distribution
Date thereafter:

                                     General

1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined
in the applicable UCC) in the Home Equity Loans in favor of the Trustee, which
security interest is prior to all other Liens, and is enforceable as such as
against creditors of and purchasers from the Depositor.

2. The Home Equity Loans constitute "general intangibles" or "instruments"
within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

3. The Collection Account and all subaccounts thereof constitute either a
deposit account or a securities account.

4. To the extent that payments and collections received or made with respect to
the Home Equity Loans constitute securities entitlements, such payments and
collections have been and will have been credited to the Collection Account. The
securities intermediary for the Collection Account has agreed to treat all
assets credited to the Collection Account as "financial assets" within the
meaning of the applicable UCC.

                                    Creation

5. The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Home Equity Loans
free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only
liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred
in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to
which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being
contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves
have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a
lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien
attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

6. The Depositor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Home
Equity Loans hereunder to the Trustee required by the terms of the Home Equity
Loans that constitute instruments.

7. To the extent the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof constitute
securities entitlements, certificated securities or uncertificated securities,
the Depositor has received all consents and approvals required to transfer to
the Trustee its interest and rights in the Collection Account hereunder.

<PAGE>

                                   Perfection

8. The Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the
effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing
statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under
applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Home Equity Loans from the
Depositor to the Trustee, and the security interest in the Home Equity Loans
granted to the Trustee hereunder.

9. With respect to the Collection Account and all subaccounts that constitute
deposit accounts, either:

                  (i) the Depositor has delivered to the Trustee a
                  fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the bank
                  maintaining the deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all
                  instructions originated by the Trustee directing disposition
                  of the funds in the Collection Account without further consent
                  by the Depositor; or

                  (ii) the Depositor has taken all steps necessary to cause the
                  Trustee to become the account holder of the Collection
                  Account.

10. With respect to the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof that
constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:

                  (i) the Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten
                  days after the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of
                  all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing
                  office in the appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law
                  in order to perfect the security interest granted in the
                  Collection Account to the Trustee; or

                  (ii) the Depositor has delivered to the Trustee a
                  fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the securities
                  intermediary has agreed to comply with all instructions
                  originated by the Trustee relating to the Collection Account
                  without further consent by the Depositor; or

                  (iii) the Depositor has taken all steps necessary to cause the
                  securities intermediary to identify in its records the Trustee
                  as the person having a security entitlement against the
                  securities intermediary in the Collection Account.

                                    Priority

11. Other than the transfer of the Home Equity Loans to the Trustee under the
Transfer Agreement, and the security interest granted to the Trustee pursuant to
this Agreement, neither the Depositor nor the Sellers have pledged, assigned,
sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Home
Equity Loans. Neither the Depositor nor the Sellers have authorized the filing
of, or are aware of any financing statements against the Depositor or any of the
Sellers that include a description of collateral covering the Home Equity Loans
other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to
the Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

<PAGE>

12. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings
against either the Depositor or any of the Sellers.

13. To the Depositor's knowledge, none of the instruments that constitute or
evidence the Home Equity Loans has any marks or notations indicating that they
have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
Trustee.

14. Neither the Collection Account nor any subaccount thereof is in the name of
any person other than the Depositor or the Trustee as trustee hereunder or in
the name of its nominee. The Depositor has not consented for the securities
intermediary of the Collection Account to comply with entitlement orders of any
person other than the Trustee.

15. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement or any other transaction document, the Perfection
Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in
full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Master Servicer or
termination of the Master Servicer's rights to act as such) until such time as
all obligations under this Agreement have been finally and fully paid and
performed.

16. No Waiver. The parties to this Agreement (i) shall not, without obtaining a
confirmation of the then-current rating of the Certificates, waive any of the
Perfection Representations, and (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with
prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall
not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the
Certificates (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings
following notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection
Representations.

17. Master Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Master Servicer
covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Depositor and the
Trustee under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall take such action, or
execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a Filing (as defined
below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with this paragraph) as may
be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation, such actions as are
requested by the Trustee) to maintain and perfect, as a first priority interest,
the Trustee's security interest in the Home Equity Loans. The Master Servicer
shall, from time to time and within the time limits established by law, prepare
and present to the Trustee for the Trustee to authorize (based in reliance on
the Opinion of Counsel hereinafter provided for) the Master Servicer to file,
all financing statements, amendments, continuations, initial financing
statements in lieu of a continuation statement, terminations, partial
terminations, releases or partial releases, or any other filings necessary or
advisable to continue, maintain and perfect the Trustee's security interest in
the Home Equity Loans as a first-priority interest (each a "Filing"). The Master
Servicer shall present each such Filing to the Trustee together with (x) an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant
of the security interest to the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.01 of this
Agreement, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this
Agreement and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under
the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform
Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection
of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Trustee's
signature. Upon receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of authorization,
the Trustee shall promptly authorize in writing

<PAGE>

the Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer shall, effect such Filing under
the Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of the Depositor or the
Trustee where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything else in the
transaction documents to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not have any
authority to effect a Filing without obtaining written authorization from the
Trustee.

         Certificates of the above-referenced Class with respect to a Trust
         consisting of [ ] fixed- or declining-rate home equity loans (the "Home

                     HFC Revolving Corporation, as Depositor

         Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as
set forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Principal Balance of this Class A

guaranteed by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer, or the Trustee
referred to below or any of their respective affiliates. Neither this Class A
Certificate nor the Home Equity Loans are guaranteed or insured by any

         This certifies that CEDE & CO. is the registered owner of the

the principal denomination of this Class A Certificate by the aggregate of the
principal denominations of all Certificates of this Class) in certain monthly

Loans deposited by HFC Revolving Corporation (the "Depositor"). The Trust was

                   HOUSEHOLD HOME EQUITY LOAN TRUST 200[ ]-[ ]
                 [ ] Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates,
                                Series 200[ ]-[ ]

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Household Home Equity Loan Trust 200[ ]-[ ], [ ] Home Equity Loan
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 200[ ]-[ ] (herein collectively called the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Collection Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the [ ]th day of each month or, if such [ ]th day is not a Business Day, the
next succeeding Business Day (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Certificateholders of
Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution
Date is the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date; provided, however,
that following the date on which Definitive Certificates are available pursuant
to Section 6.02(f) of the Agreement, the Record Date shall be the last day of
the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or, upon the written request by a Certificateholder owning
Certificates having the requisite aggregate denominations or Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement, by wire transfer or otherwise, as set
forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made
in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at
the office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Master Servicer, the Depositor, and

                                       5
<PAGE>

the Trustee, in each case with the consent of the [Certificate Insurer and the]
Certificateholders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment or all classes in the case
of amendments or modifications which affect all classes, as specified in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding to such holder and upon all future holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Certificate
Registrar (which shall be the Corporate Trust Office if the Trustee is the
Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement). Every Certificate presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Certificateholder hereof or such
Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon satisfaction of
the foregoing, one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, [the Certificate
Insurer,] and the Trustee and any agent of the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor [, the Certificate Insurer] or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, [the Certificate Insurer]
or the Trustee or any such agent shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance is less than [ ]% of the initial aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A and Class M Certificates, the
Master Servicer will have the option to purchase, in whole, from the Trust the
Home Equity Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement
provided, however, if the Master Servicer does not purchase all of the Home
Equity Loans

                                       6
<PAGE>

pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(i) of the Agreement within three months of the
first Distribution Date upon which such purchase option may occur and all of the
Home Equity Loans have not been sold by the Trustee pursuant to Section 5.01(b)
of the Agreement, then the Trustee shall begin a process for soliciting bids in
connection with an auction of the Home Equity Loans pursuant to Section 10.01(c)
of the Agreement. In the event that no such optional termination occurs, the
obligations and responsibilities created by the Agreement will terminate upon
the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of the Principal
Balance of the last Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust or the disposition
of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure of any
Home Equity Loan and (ii) the Distribution Date in [ ] 20[ ]. In no event,
however, will the trust created by the Agreement continue beyond the expiration
of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants living at the
date of the Agreement of a certain person named in the Agreement.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement and nothing herein shall be
deemed inconsistent with that meaning.

                 [ ] Home Equity Loan Asset-Backed Certificates,
                                Series 200[ ]-[ ]

         This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as Household Home Equity Loan Trust 200[ ]-[ ], [ ] Home Equity Loan
Asset-Backed Certificates, Series 200[ ]-[ ] (herein collectively called the
"Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership interest in the Trust
created by the Agreement.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Collection Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.

         This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of
rights, benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on
the [ ]th day of each month or, if such [ ]th day is not a Business Day, the
next succeeding Business Day (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first
Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this
Certificate is registered at the close of business on the applicable Record Date
in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this
Certificate and the amount required to be distributed to Certificateholders of
Certificates of the Class to which this Certificate belongs on such Distribution
Date pursuant to the Agreement. The Record Date applicable to each Distribution
Date is the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date; provided, however,
that following the date on which Definitive Certificates are available pursuant
to Section 6.02(f) of the Agreement, the Record Date shall be the last day of
the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order
mailed to the address of the person entitled thereto as it appears on the
Certificate Register or, upon the written request by a Certificateholder owning
Certificates having the requisite aggregate denominations or Percentage
Interests specified in the Agreement, by wire transfer or otherwise, as set
forth in the Agreement. The final distribution on each Certificate will be made
in like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at
the office or agency of the Trustee specified in the notice to
Certificateholders of such final distribution.

         The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Master Servicer, the Depositor, and

                                       5
<PAGE>

the Trustee, in each case with the consent of the [Certificate Insurer and the]
Certificateholders of the requisite percentage of the Percentage Interests of
each Class of Certificates affected by such amendment or all classes in the case
of amendments or modifications which affect all classes, as specified in the
Agreement. Any such consent by the holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding to such holder and upon all future holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange therefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.

         As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Certificate
Registrar (which shall be the Corporate Trust Office if the Trustee is the
Certificate Registrar as provided in the Agreement). Every Certificate presented
or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall (if so required by
the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar) be duly endorsed by, or accompanied by
a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by, the Certificateholder hereof or such
Certificateholder's attorney duly authorized in writing. Upon satisfaction of
the foregoing, one or more new Certificates of the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, [the Certificate
Insurer,] and the Trustee and any agent of the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor [, the Certificate Insurer] or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
and the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, [the Certificate Insurer]
or the Trustee or any such agent shall not be affected by any notice to the
contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance is less than [ ]% of the initial aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A and Class M Certificates, the
Master Servicer will have the option to purchase, in whole, from the Trust the
Home Equity Loans at a purchase price determined as provided in the Agreement

                                       6

provided, however, if the Master Servicer does not purchase all of the Home
Equity Loans pursuant to Section 10.01(a)(i) of the Agreement within three
months of the first Distribution Date upon which such purchase option may occur
and all of the Home Equity Loans have not been sold by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 5.01(b) of the Agreement, then the Trustee shall begin a process for
soliciting bids in connection with an auction of the Home Equity Loans pursuant
to Section 10.01(c) of the Agreement. In the event that no such optional
termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the
Agreement will terminate upon the earliest of (i) the final payment or other
liquidation of the Principal Balance of the last Home Equity Loan remaining in
the Trust or the disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed
in lieu of foreclosure of any Home Equity Loan and (ii) the Distribution Date in
[ ] 20[ ]. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of a certain person named
in the Agreement.

         Capitalized terms used herein that are defined in the Agreement shall

                               Equity Certificate

         evidencing a percentage interest in the distributions allocable to this
         Certificate with respect to a Trust consisting of [ ] fixed- and
         declining-rate home equity loans (the "Home Equity Loans")

                     HFC Revolving Corporation, as Depositor

         This Certificate does not evidence an obligation of, or an interest in,
and is not guaranteed by the Depositor, the Sellers, the Master Servicer or the
Trustee referred to below or any of their respective affiliates. Neither this
Certificate nor the Home Equity Loans are guaranteed or insured by any
governmental agency or instrumentality.

         This certifies that HFC REVOLVING CORPORATION is the registered owner
of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate specified above in the
interest represented by this Certificate in a Trust consisting primarily of the
Home Equity Loans deposited by HFC Revolving Corporation (the "Depositor"). The
Trust was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of [ ],
200[ ] (the "Agreement") among the Depositor, Household Finance Corporation as
Master Servicer (the "Master Servicer"), and [ ], as Trustee (the "Trustee"). To
the extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the
meanings assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is
subject to the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which
Agreement the Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof
assents and by which such Certificateholder is bound.

         This Certificate does not have a specified principal balance or
pass-through rate and will be entitled to distributions only to the extent set
forth in the Agreement. In addition, any distribution of the proceeds of any
remaining assets of the Trust will be made only upon presentment and surrender
of this Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency
maintained by the Trustee in Chicago, Illinois.

         Except in the case of the initial transfer to the Depositor, no
transfer of the Equity Certificate shall be made unless such Transfer is exempt
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended,
and any applicable state securities laws or is made in

                                       3
<PAGE>

accordance with said Act and laws. Except in the case of the initial Transfer to
the Depositor, as a condition to any Transfer of the Equity Certificate, (i) the
Trustee may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee that such Transfer may be 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, which Opinion
of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the
Trust and (ii) the Trustee may require the Transferee to execute an investment
letter acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
certifying to the Master Servicer, the Sellers and the Trustee the facts
surrounding such Transfer, which investment letter shall not be an expense of
the Trustee, the Master Servicer or the Trust Fund except to the extent any of
such parties is the transferor of such Certificate. The Holder of the Equity
Certificate desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Master Servicer and the Trust against any liability
that may result if the Transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance
with such federal and state laws.

         Neither this Certificate nor any interest herein may be acquired or
transferred unless the purchaser or the transferee delivers to the Trustee a
representation letter, acceptable to and in form satisfactory to the Trustee, to
the effect that such purchaser or transferee is not an employee benefit plan or
arrangement as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which is subject to Title I of ERISA
or a plan subject to Section 4975 of the Code or an entity deemed to hold plan
assets by reason of an employee benefit plan's or other plan's investment in the
entity or a person acting on behalf of any such plan or arrangement nor using
the assets of any such plan or arrangement to effect such acquisition or
transfer. In the event that the foregoing is violated, such attempted transfer
or acquisition shall be void and of no effect. The Trustee shall be under no
liability to any Person for any registration of any ERISA-Restricted Certificate
that is in fact not permitted by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or for
making any payments due on such Certificate to the Holder thereof or taking any
other action with respect to such Holder under the provisions of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement so long as the Transfer or acquisition was registered by the
Trustee in accordance with the foregoing requirements.

         The Equity Certificate may not be offered, transferred or sold except
to the Depositor or an Affiliate thereof that is an institutional "accredited
investor" (as defined in Rule 501(a)(1)-(3) or (7) under the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, and who is a United States person (as defined in Section
7701(a)(30) of the Code) in reliance on an exemption from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

         The Equity Certificate may not be sold, pledged, transferred, assigned,
or otherwise conveyed, in whole or in part, without the prior written approval
of the Trustee.

         To the fullest extent permitted by law, no admission (or purported
admission) of an Equity Certificateholder, and no transfer (or purported
transfer) of the Equity Certificate (or any economic interest therein) shall be
effective, and any such admission or transfer (or purported

                                       4
<PAGE>

admission or transfer) shall be void ab initio, and no Person shall otherwise
become an Equity Certificateholder, and the Trustee shall not register any such
admission or transfer (or purported admission or transfer) unless: (i) such
Person is a U.S. Person , (ii) such Person has delivered to the Trustee an
investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement and (iii) such admission or transfer shall not result in
there being more than 95 Private Holders. In addition, if at any time the
representations and warranties of the Depositor made pursuant to Section 2.04 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are untrue, or if at any time the
certifications in the investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit E
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement are untrue, then the purchase of the
Equity Certificate by such Person shall be void ab initio and of no effect. To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Trust shall not recognize any
prohibited transfer described in this paragraph either (i) by redeeming the
transferor's interest, or (ii) by admitting the transferee as an Equity
Certificateholder or otherwise recognizing any right of the transferee
(including any right of the transferee to receive distributions from the Trust,
directly or indirectly). The Trustee shall be fully protected in relying upon
the certificates and opinions delivered to it hereunder in connection with any
purported transfer.

         Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate
set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.

         This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless manually countersigned by an
authorized officer of the Trustee.

Certificate to be duly executed.

Distribution Date specified on the face hereof, to the Person in whose name this

in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage Interest evidenced by this

Date is the Business Day preceding such Distribution Date; provided, however,
that following the date on which Definitive Certificates are available pursuant
to Section 6.02(f) of the Agreement, the Record Date shall be the last day of
the month preceding the month in which such Distribution Date occurs.

         Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by check or money order

Equity Certificate presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange, the instrument of transfer shall contain an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit E to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
and shall be accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such
transfer will not subject the Trust or any other Person to federal income
taxation as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a
corporation or cause the holders of any Class A and Class M Certificates
unaffiliated with the Master Servicer to recognize income, gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes. Upon satisfaction of the foregoing, one or more new
Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing the
same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust will be issued to the designated

         The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without

Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations

Holder surrendering the same.

         No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or

tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.

         The Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, [the Certificate
Insurer,] and the Trustee and any agent of the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the
Depositor [, the Certificate Insurer] or the Trustee may treat the Person in
whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for

all purposes, and the Sellers, the Master Servicer, the Depositor, [the

any notice to the contrary.

         On any Distribution Date following the date at which the aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance is less than [ ]% of the initial aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance of the Class A and Class M Certificates, the
Master Servicer will have the option to purchase, in whole, from the Trust the

                 CONVEYANCE OF HOME EQUITY LOANS; TAX TREATMENT

         Section 2.01 Acknowledgment; Conveyance of Home Equity Loans; Custody
of Mortgage Files.

         (a) The Depositor, concurrently with the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, does hereby irrevocably transfer, assign, sell, set over and
otherwise convey to the Trust without recourse (subject to Sections 2.02 and
2.04) (i) all of its right, title and interest in and to the unpaid principal
balance of each Home Equity Loan and each Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan,
including all Interest Collections and Principal Collections in respect of any
such Home Equity Loan received after the Cut-Off Date with respect to each
Initial Home Equity Loan and after the Subsequent Cut-Off Date with respect to
each Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan pursuant to the Home Equity Loan
Purchase Agreement; (ii) property which secured such Home Equity Loan and which
has been acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its
interest in any insurance policies in respect of the Home Equity Loans
(including any Insurance Proceeds); (iv) all other assets included or to be
included in the Trust for the benefit of the Class A Noteholders[, the Insurer]
and the Transferor;(v) all proceeds of any of the foregoing; and (vi) one share
of the Depositor's Preferred Stock. [In addition, on or prior to the Closing
Date, the Depositor shall cause the Insurer to deliver the Insurance Policy to
the Indenture Trustee.]

         (b) The Depositor agrees to take, or to cause to be taken, such actions
and to execute such documents (including without limitation the filing of all
necessary continuation statements for the UCC-1 financing statement filed in the
State of Illinois and the State of Delaware, as applicable (which shall have
been filed as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than 10 days
following the effective date of this Agreement), describing the Home Equity
Loans and naming the Depositor as seller and the Trust as buyer, and any
amendments or other filings to the UCC-1 financing statement required to reflect
a change in the applicable UCC, or a change of the name or corporate structure
of the Depositor, or the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing statement due
to any change in the principal office of the Depositor) as are necessary to
perfect and protect the Class A Noteholeders' [and the Insurer's] interests in
the Trust created hereunder, including each Home Equity Loan and the proceeds
thereof (other than delivering to the Indenture Trustee possession of the
Mortgage Files, which possession will, subject to the terms hereof, be
maintained by the Servicers on behalf of the Master Servicer as custodian and
bailee for the Indenture Trustee). The parties hereto intend that the
transactions set forth herein constitute a sale and not a pledge by the
Depositor to the Trust of all the Depositor's right, title and interest in and
to the Home Equity Loans and other Trust property as and to the extent described
above for all nontax purposes. In the event the transactions set forth herein
are characterized as a pledge and not a sale, the Depositor hereby grants to the
Trust a security interest in all of the Depositor's right, title and interest
in, to and under the Home Equity Loans and such other Trust property, to secure
all of the Depositor's obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law. With respect to the Home
Equity Loans sold by each Seller to the Depositor, the Master Servicer shall
cause such Seller to file as promptly as practicable, but in no event later than
ten days following the effective date of this Agreement, in the appropriate
public filing office or offices UCC-1 financing statements and continuation
statements describing such Home Equity Loans and naming such Seller as seller
and the Depositor as buyer,

                                       21
<PAGE>
to file appropriate continuation statements thereto, to file amendments thereto
in the case of a change in the applicable UCC, name change or change in
corporate structure and to file appropriate additional UCC-1 financing
statements, if any, if such Seller changes its jurisdiction of incorporation.

         (c) In connection with such transfer and assignment by the Depositor
and the Master Servicer, acting through the Servicers, the Indenture Trustee and
the Master Servicer hereby acknowledge that the Servicers are holding, with
respect to the Home Equity Loans transferred on the Closing Date, and will hold,
with respect to each Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan, on and from the
applicable Transfer Date, as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee, the
following documents or instruments with respect to each such Home Equity Loan
(the "Related Documents"):

               (i) the original Mortgage Note with all intervening endorsements
               showing a complete chain of title from the originator of such
               Home Equity Loan to the Seller or a copy of such original
               Mortgage Note with an accompanying lost note affidavit;

               (ii) the original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon,
               provided that if the original Mortgage has been delivered for
               recording to the appropriate public recording office of the
               jurisdiction in which the Mortgaged Property is located but has
               not yet been returned to the Seller by such recording office, the
               Seller may hold a copy of such original Mortgage; and

               (iii) originals of any amendments to the Mortgage Note or
               Mortgage, any modification or assumption agreements and any
               previous assignments of such Home Equity Loan;

provided, however, that as to any Home Equity Loan, if, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to and in form and substance satisfactory to the
Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee, (x) an optical image or other
electronic representation of the related documents specified in clauses (i)
through (iii) above are enforceable in the relevant jurisdictions to the same
extent as the original of such document and (y) such optical image or other
representation does not impair the ability of an owner of such Home Equity Loan
to transfer its interest in such Home Equity Loan, such optical image or other
representation may be held by the Master Servicer, acting through the Servicers,
as custodian and bailee for the Indenture Trustee, in lieu of the physical
documents specified above.

          (d) Except as hereinafter provided, the Master Servicer, acting
through the Servicers, shall be entitled to maintain possession of all of the
foregoing documents and instruments, shall not be required to deliver any of
them to the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee and shall not be required to
record an assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner
Trustee with respect to any Home Equity Loan. In the event, however, that
possession of any of such documents or instruments is required by any Person
(including the Indenture Trustee) acting as successor master servicer pursuant
to Section 7.04 or 8.02 in order to carry out the duties of Master Servicer
hereunder, then such successor shall be entitled to request delivery,

                                       22
<PAGE>
at the expense of the Master Servicer, of such documents or instruments by the
Master Servicer and to retain such documents or instruments for servicing
purposes; provided that the Indenture Trustee or such servicers shall maintain
such documents at such offices as may be required by any regulatory body having
jurisdiction over such Home Equity Loans.

          (e) The Master Servicer's right to maintain possession, directly or
through the Servicers, of the documents enumerated above shall continue so long
as (i) at least two of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch assign a long-term
senior unsecured debt rating to HFC of at least "Baa3", in the case of Moody's,
"BBB", in the case of Fitch, and "BBB-", in the case of Standard & Poor's, or
such lower ratings as shall be acceptable to the Rating Agencies in order to
maintain their current ratings of the Class A Notes, and (ii) each of the
Servicers remains an Affiliate of HFC. At such time as either of the conditions
specified in the preceding sentence is not satisfied, as promptly as
practicable, but in no event more than 90 days thereafter in the case of clause
(i) below and 60 days in the case of clause (ii) below, the Master Servicer
shall cause each Servicer, at such Servicer's expense or, at the Master
Servicer's discretion, the Master Servicer's expense, to (i) either (x) record
an assignment of Mortgage in favor of the Trust (which may be a blanket
assignment if permitted by applicable law) with respect to each of the Home
Equity Loans being serviced by such Servicer in the appropriate real property or
other records or (y) deliver to the Indenture Trustee the assignment of such
Mortgage in favor of the Trust in form for recordation, together with an Opinion
of Counsel addressed to the Indenture Trustee to the effect that recording is
not required to protect the Trust's right, title and interest in and to the
related Home Equity Loan or to perfect a first priority security interest in
favor of the Trust in the related Home Equity Loan, which Opinion of Counsel
also shall be reasonably acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies [and the
Insurer] (as evidenced in writing), and (ii) unless an Opinion of Counsel,
reasonably acceptable to the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Rating
Agencies [and the Insurer] (as evidenced in writing), is delivered to the
Indenture Trustee to the effect that delivery of the Mortgage Files is not
necessary to protect the Trust's right, title and interest in and to the related
Home Equity Loans or to perfect a first priority security interest in favor of
the Trust in the related Home Equity Loans, deliver the related Mortgage Files
to the Indenture Trustee to be held by the Indenture Trustee in trust, upon the
terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Class
A Noteholders [and the Insurer], and the Indenture Trustee shall retain
possession thereof except to the extent the Master Servicer or Servicers require
any Mortgage Files for normal servicing as contemplated by Section 3.08. The
Master Servicer shall cause the Servicers to appoint the Indenture Trustee their
attorney-in-fact to prepare, execute and record any assignments of Mortgages
required under this Section 2.01 in the event that the Servicers or the Master
Servicer should fail to do so on a timely basis.

          (f) Within 90 days following delivery, if any, of the Mortgage Files
to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the preceding subsection, the Indenture
Trustee shall review each such Mortgage File to ascertain that all required
documents set forth in this Section 2.01 have been executed and received and
that such documents relate to the Home Equity Loans identified on the Home
Equity Loan Schedule, and in so doing the Indenture Trustee may rely on the
purported due execution and genuineness of any signature thereon. If within such
90-day period the Indenture Trustee finds any document constituting a part of a
Mortgage File not to have been executed or received or to be unrelated to the
Home Equity Loans identified in said Home Equity

                                       23
<PAGE>
Loan Schedule or, if in the course of its review, the Indenture Trustee
determines that such Mortgage File is otherwise defective in any material
respect, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly upon the conclusion of its review
notify the Owner Trustee, the Depositor[, the Insurer] and the Master Servicer,
and the Depositor and the Master Servicer shall have a period of 90 days after
such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect; provided, however,
that if such defect shall not have been corrected or cured within such 90-day
period due to the failure of the related office of real property or other
records to return any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer shall so notify the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee and the period during which such defect may be corrected or
cured shall be extended for one additional 90-day period.

          (g) The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for reviewing
any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in this Section 2.01. In
reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to this Section 2.01, the Indenture Trustee
shall have no responsibility for determining whether any document is valid and
binding, whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper or
recordable form (except, if applicable, to determine if the Trust is the
assignee or endorsee), whether any document has been recorded in accordance with
the requirements of any applicable jurisdiction, or whether a blanket assignment
is permitted in any applicable jurisdiction, whether any Person executing any
document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine, but
shall only be required to determine whether a document has been executed, that
it appears to be what it purports to be and, where applicable, that it purports
to be recorded.

          (h) The Master Servicer hereby confirms to the Indenture Trustee and
the Owner Trustee that on or prior to the Closing Date and on or prior to the
applicable Transfer Date with respect to any Eligible Substitute Home Equity
Loan, the portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to such Home Equity Loans
have been or will have been clearly and unambiguously marked, and the
appropriate entries have been or will have been made in its general accounting
records, to indicate that such Home Equity Loans have been transferred to the
Trust and constitute part of the Trust in accordance with the terms hereof

          Section 2.02 Acceptance by Indenture Trustee; Repurchase of Home
Equity Loans; Conveyance of Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loans.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee hereby acknowledges receipt of all the
right, title and interest of the Depositor in and to the assets described
Section 2.01(a)(i) through (vi), and all of the right, title and interest of the
Sellers in and to the Transferred Assets pursuant to the Transfer Agreement,
including but not limited to the transfer and assignment of the Mortgage Notes
and the Mortgages, and declares that it holds and will hold such documents and
interests and all amounts received by it in trust, upon the terms herein set
forth, for the use and benefit of all present and future Class A Noteholders
[and the Insurer]. If the time to cure any defect of which the Indenture Trustee
has notified the Depositor and the Master Servicer following the Indenture
Trustee's review of the Home Equity Loan Files pursuant to Section 2.01 has
expired or if any loss is suffered by the Indenture Trustee, on behalf of the
Class A Noteholders [and the Insurer], in respect of any Home Equity Loan as a
result of (i) a defect in any document constituting a part of a Mortgage File or
(ii) the related Seller's retention of such Mortgage File or an assignment of
Mortgage not having been recorded, the Depositor shall, in the case of a defect
in such

                                       24
<PAGE>
document, or the Master Servicer shall, in the case of a loss resulting from
such Seller's retention of a Mortgage File or assignment of Mortgage not having
been recorded, on the Business Day next preceding the Payment Date in the month
following the end of the Collection Period in which the time to cure such defect
expired or such loss occurred, either (i) repurchase the related Home Equity
Loan (a "Defective Home Equity Loan") (including any property acquired in
respect thereof and any insurance policy or insurance proceeds with respect
thereto) from the Trust at a price equal to the Purchase Price which shall be
accomplished by deposit by the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.02 on such next preceding
Business Day, or (ii) remove such Defective Home Equity Loan from the Trust and
substitute in its place an Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans.

          (b) The Master Servicer, in its sole discretion, shall have the right,
but not the obligation, to elect (by written notice sent to the Indenture
Trustee and the Owner Trustee) to substitute in the place of any Home Equity
Loan an Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans; provided that the
aggregate of all substitutions pursuant to this Section shall not exceed 30% of
the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance.

          (c) As to any Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans, the
Master Servicer shall cause the related Seller to deliver to the Indenture
Trustee with respect to such Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans an
acknowledgment that the related Seller is holding as custodian for the Indenture
Trustee such documents and agreements, if any, as are permitted to be held by
the related Seller in accordance with Section 2.01. An assignment of the
Mortgage in favor of the Trust with respect to such Eligible Substitute Home
Equity Loan or Loans shall be required to be recorded in the appropriate real
property or other records or delivered to the Indenture Trustee with the Opinion
of Counsel referred to in Section 2.01 under the same circumstances that all
other assignments of Mortgage are required to be recorded hereunder. For any
Collection Period during which the Depositor or the Master Servicer substitutes
one or more Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loans, the Master Servicer shall
determine the Substitution Adjustment Amount. The Depositor or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, shall deposit the Substitution Adjustment Amount in the
Collection Account no later than the Business Day next preceding the Payment
Date in the month following the end of the Collection Period in which such
substitution occurs. The Master Servicer shall amend the Home Equity Loan
Schedule to reflect the removal of the Defective Home Equity Loan or Home Equity
Loan for which the Master Servicer has made a substitution election pursuant to
Section 2.02(b) from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans. Upon such substitution, the
Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of
this Agreement in all respects, and the Depositor shall be deemed to have made
with respect to such Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans, as of the
date of substitution, the covenants, representations and warranties set forth in
Section 2.04(b). The Indenture Trustee shall upon satisfaction of the conditions
in this subsection immediately take any action requested by the Depositor, if
any, to effect the reconveyance of such Defective Home Equity Loan or such Home
Equity Loan for which the Master Servicer has made a substitution election so
removed from the Trust to the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as applicable.
The procedures applied by the Depositor or the Master Servicer in selecting each
Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan

                                       25
<PAGE>
shall not be adverse to the interests of the Class A Noteholders and shall be
comparable to the selection procedures applicable to the Home Equity Loans
originally conveyed hereunder.

          (d) Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of (i) in the case of a
repurchase, a Servicing Certificate to the effect that the Purchase Price for
any such Defective Home Equity Loan or such Home Equity Loan for which the
Master Servicer has made a substitution election has been so deposited in the
Collection Account or (ii) in the case of a substitution, (A) a Servicing
Certificate to the effect that the Substitution Adjustment Amount, if any, has
been so deposited in the Collection Account and (B) an Officer's Certificate
reciting the transfer and assignment of the Eligible Substitute Home Equity
Loan(s) to the Indenture Trustee and, if required at such time, that the related
Mortgage File(s) for such Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan(s) have been
delivered to the Indenture Trustee and the assignment(s) of Mortgage have been
recorded, the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver such instrument of
transfer or assignment presented to it by the Master Servicer, in each case
without recourse, as shall be necessary to vest in the Depositor or the Master
Servicer, as applicable, legal and beneficial ownership of such Defective Home
Equity Loan or such Home Equity Loan for which the Master Servicer has made a
substitution election (including any property acquired in respect thereof or
proceeds of any insurance policy with respect thereto). It is understood and
agreed that the obligation of the Depositor or the Master Servicer to repurchase
or substitute for (to the extent permitted herein) any Defective Home Equity
Loan shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such defect available to Class
A Noteholders[, the Insurer] or the Indenture Trustee against the Depositor or
the Master Servicer, and such obligation on the part of the Master Servicer
shall survive any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder.

          Section 2.03 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Master
Servicer. The Master Servicer represents, warrants and covenants that as of the
Closing Date:

               (v) The related Mortgage is a valid and subsisting first or
               second lien, as set forth on the Home Equity Loan Schedule with

               (b) any first and, if applicable, second mortgage loan secured by

               and is in good repair;

               (ix) There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims which

               fully insured against by the title insurance policy referred to
               in clause (xiii) or (b) liens which do not materially interfere

               and each such policy is valid and remains in full force and
               effect, and a title search or other assurance of title customary
               in the relevant jurisdiction was obtained with respect to each
               Home Equity Loan as to which no title insurance policy or binder
               was issued;

               (xiv) The related Mortgaged Property is not a mobile home or a

<PAGE>
               (xvii) No selection procedure reasonably believed by the
               Depositor to be adverse to the interests of the Class A
               Noteholders [or the Insurer] was utilized in selecting the Home
               Equity Loan;

               (xviii) The Depositor has not transferred the Home Equity Loans
               to the Trust with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of
               its creditors;

               the form previously provided to the Indenture Trustee by the

               of the related Mortgagor;

               (xx) The Depositor has not received a notice of default of any
               senior mortgage loan with respect to the related Mortgaged

               Home Equity Loans are first and second liens, respectively.

          (c) It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in this Section 2.04 shall survive the transfer and
assignment of the Home Equity Loans to the Trust. Upon discovery by the
Depositor, the Master Servicer [, the Insurer], the Owner Trustee or the
Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the representations and warranties set
forth in this Section 2.04, without regard to any limitation set forth in such
representation or warranty concerning the knowledge of the Depositor as to the
facts stated therein, which materially and adversely affects the interests of
the Class A Noteholders[, the Insurer] or the Transferor in respect of the
Ownership Interest in the related Home Equity Loan, the person discovering such
breach shall give prompt written notice to the other parties[, the Insurer] and
each Rating Agency. Within 60 days of its discovery or its receipt of notice of
such breach, or, with the prior written consent of a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee, such longer period not to exceed 90 days specified in such
consent, the Depositor or, as necessary, the Master Servicer

                                       31
<PAGE>
shall cure such breach in all material respects. With regard to any such breach
of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.04(b), unless, at
the expiration of such 60 day or longer period, such breach has been cured in
all material respects or otherwise does not exist or continue to exist, the
Depositor or the Master Servicer shall, not later than the Business Day next
preceding the Payment Date in the month following the end of the Collection
Period in which any such cure period expired, either (i) repurchase such
Defective Home Equity Loan (including any property acquired in respect thereof
and any insurance policy or insurance proceeds with respect thereto) or (ii)
remove such Home Equity Loan from the Trust and substitute in its place an
Eligible Substitute Home Equity Loan or Loans, in the same manner and subject to
the same conditions as set forth in Section 2.02. Upon making any such
repurchase or substitution the Depositor or the Master Servicer, as applicable,
shall be entitled to receive an instrument of assignment or transfer from the
Indenture Trustee to the same extent as set forth in Section 2.02 with respect
to the repurchase or replacement of Home Equity Loans under that Section.
Subject to Section 2.04(d), it is understood and agreed that the obligation of
the Depositor or the Master Servicer to purchase or substitute for any such
Defective Home Equity Loan (or property acquired in respect thereof) shall
constitute the sole remedy against the Depositor or the Master Servicer
respecting such breach of the foregoing representations or warranties available
to Class A Noteholders, the Transferor in respect of the Ownership Interest[,
the Insurer], the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee against the Depositor
or the Master Servicer, and such obligation on the part of the Master Servicer
shall survive any resignation or termination of the Master Servicer hereunder.

          (d) The Depositor and the Master Servicer, jointly and not severally,
agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Trust against any and all out-of-pocket
financial losses, claims, expenses, damages or liabilities to which the Trust
may become subject, insofar as such out-of-pocket financial losses, claims,
expenses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or
are based upon any representation or warranty made by the Depositor in this
Section 2.04 on which the Trust has relied, being, or alleged to be, untrue or
incorrect in any material respect. This indemnity will be in addition to any
liability which the Depositor or the Master Servicer may otherwise have.

          (e) Promptly after receipt by the Trust of notice of the commencement
of any action or proceeding in any way relating to or arising from this
Agreement, the Owner Trustee will notify the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor [,
the Insurer] and the Master Servicer of the commencement thereof, but the
omission so to notify the party from whom indemnification is sought (the
"Indemnifying Party") will not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability
which it may have to the party seeking indemnification (the "Indemnified Party")
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is adversely affected by the
lack of notice. In case any such action is brought against the Indemnified
Party, and it notifies the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the
Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate in the defense (with the
consent of the Indemnified Party which shall not be unreasonably withheld) of
such action at the Indemnifying Party's expense.

          Section 2.05 Tax Treatment. It is the intention of the Depositor and
the Class A Noteholders that the Class A Notes will be indebtedness for federal,
state and local income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes of any other
tax imposed on or measured by income. The terms of this Agreement shall be
interpreted to further the intent of the parties hereto. The

                                       32
<PAGE>
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and each Class A Noteholder (or Class A Note
Owner) by acceptance of its Class A Note (or, in the case of a Class A Note
Owner, by virtue of such Class A Note Owner's acquisition of a beneficial
interest therein) agrees to treat the Class A Note (or beneficial interest
therein), for purposes of federal, state and local income or franchise taxes and
any other tax imposed on or measured by income, as indebtedness secured by the
Trust Estate and to report the transactions contemplated by this Agreement on
all applicable tax returns in a manner consistent with such treatment. Each
Class A Noteholder agrees that it will cause any Class A Note Owner acquiring an
interest in a Class A Note through it to comply with this Agreement as to
treatment of the Class A Notes as indebtedness for federal, state and local
income and franchise tax purposes and for purposes of any other tax imposed on
or measured by income. The Indenture Trustee will prepare and file all tax
reports required hereunder on behalf of the Trust.

          Section 3.01 The Master Servicer.

          (a) The Master Servicer shall, or shall cause the Servicers to,

terms of this Agreement and with general industry practice and shall have full
power and authority, acting alone or through the Servicers, to do any and all
things in connection with such servicing and administration which it may deem
necessary or desirable, it being understood, however, that the Master Servicer
shall at all times remain responsible to the Indenture Trustee and the Class A
Noteholders for the performance of its duties and obligations hereunder in
accordance with the terms hereof. Any amounts received by the related Servicer
in respect of a Home Equity Loan shall be deemed to have been received by the
Master Servicer whether or not actually received by it. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Master Servicer shall continue, and is hereby

behalf of itself, the Class A Noteholders and the Indenture Trustee or any of
them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or
full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to
the Home Equity Loans and with respect to the Mortgaged Properties. Upon the
written request of the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee
shall furnish the Master Servicer with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Master Servicer to carry out
its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. The Master Servicer in such
capacity may also consent to the placing of a proposed lien senior to that of
the Mortgage on the related Mortgaged Property, provided that such proposed lien
is not secured by a note providing for negative amortization and:

               (x) (i) the Mortgage relating to the Home Equity Loan was in a
          first lien position as of the Cut-Off Date and was in a first lien
          position immediately prior to the placement of the proposed senior
          lien, and (ii) the ratio of (a) the sum of the Principal Balance of
          the Home Equity Loan and the principal balance of the mortgage loan to
          be secured by the proposed senior lien to (b) the Appraised Value of
          the Mortgaged Property at the time the Home Equity Loan was originated
          is not greater than (1) with respect to Home Equity Loans with an
          original CLTV of 85% or less, 85%, (2) with respect to Home Equity
          Loans with an original CLTV in excess of 85% and not greater than 95%,
          95% and (3) with respect to Home Equity Loans with an original CLTV in
          excess of 95% and not greater than 115%, 115%;

               (y) (i) the Mortgage relating to the Home Equity Loan was in a
          first or second lien position at the time the related Home Equity Loan
          was conveyed to the Trust and, immediately following the placement of
          such proposed senior lien, such Mortgage will be in a second or, if
          such Mortgage was in a second lien position at the time the related
          Home Equity Loan was conveyed to the Trust, a third lien position and
          (ii) the principal balance of the mortgage loan to be secured by the
          proposed senior lien and the rate at

                                       34
<PAGE>
          which interest accrues thereon are no greater than those of the
          related Home Equity Loan as of the date it was first conveyed to the
          Trust; or

               (z) the Mortgage relating to the Home Equity Loan was in a second
          lien position as of the Cut-Off Date and the proposed senior lien
          secures a mortgage loan that refinances an existing first mortgage
          loan and the outstanding principal amount of such mortgage loan
          immediately following such refinancing and the rate at which interest
          accrues thereon are not greater than that of such existing first
          mortgage loan at the date the mortgage loan was originated.

          (b) If (i) foreclosure proceedings are commenced with respect to any
Home Equity Loan with respect to which the Master Servicer has consented to the
placing of a subsequent senior lien pursuant to clause (x) in Section 3.01(a),
or (ii) any loss is suffered by the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Class A
Noteholders[, the Insurer] and the Transferor in respect of the Ownership
Interest in respect of any Home Equity Loan as a result of (x) a failure to file
on or within ten days following the effective date of this Agreement the UCC-l
financing statements referred to in Section 2.01 or (y) a failure to publish on
or prior to the Closing Date such notices reflecting the sale of the Home Equity
Loans as are described in Section 3440.1(h) of the California Civil Code, then
the Master Servicer shall repurchase or substitute for any adversely affected
Home Equity Loan on the Business Day preceding the next Payment Date following
the end of the Collection Period during which such foreclosure proceedings were
commenced or such losses were suffered. Such repurchase or substitution shall be
accomplished in the same manner and subject to the same conditions as set forth
in Section 2.02. Upon making any such repurchase or substitution the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to receive an instrument of assignment or transfer
from the Indenture Trustee to the same extent as set forth in Section 2.02.

          (c) Upon the request of a Mortgagor or at the Master Servicer's own
initiative, the Master Servicer (or the related Servicer on behalf of the Master
Servicer) may waive, modify or vary any term of any Home Equity Loan or consent
to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner
grant indulgence to any Mortgagor if:

               (i) in the Master Servicer's (or such Servicer's) good faith
               determination such waiver, modification, postponement or
               indulgence will enhance recovery with respect to such Home Equity
               Loan; and

               (ii) the Mortgagor is in default with respect to the Home Equity
               Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of the Master Servicer
               (or such Servicer) imminent.

          (d) Subject to subparagraph (e) below, in addition to the
circumstances described under Section 3.01(c), the Master Servicer (or the
related Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer) may waive, modify or vary any
term of any Home Equity Loan, if the purpose of such action is to reduce the
likelihood of prepayment or of default of such Home Equity Loan, to increase the
likelihood of repayment or repayment upon default of such Home Equity Loan, to
increase the likelihood of repayment in full of or recoveries under such Home
Equity Loan, or to otherwise benefit the Class A Noteholders[, the Insurer] or
the Transferor in respect of the Ownership Interest, all in the reasonable
judgment of the Master Servicer.

                                       35
<PAGE>
          (e) Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary,
the Master Servicer may not defer the scheduled monthly interest and principal
payment on any Home Equity Loan that is not in default or (in the judgment of
the Master Servicer (or the related Servicer on behalf of the Master Servicer))
for which default is not imminent unless (i) the Master Servicer elects to make
a Skip-A-Pay Advance pursuant to subparagraph (f) below or (ii) each Rating
Agency advises in writing that as a result of such deferment the then current
rating of the Class A Notes will not be withdrawn, suspended or reduced;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer may not defer the scheduled monthly
payment on any Home Equity Loan in reliance on clause (i) above unless the
Master Servicer determines, in its good faith judgment, that such Skip-A-Pay
Advance will be recoverable from future payments on the Home Equity Loans.

          (f) If during any Collection Period the Master Servicer deferred the
scheduled monthly payment on any Home Equity Loan that was not in default or for
which default was not imminent in reliance on clause (i) of subparagraph (e)
above, no later than 12:00 noon Chicago time on each Deposit Date, the Master
Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account an amount equal to the
Skip-A-Pay Advance for such Collection Period. On each Payment Date, the Master
Servicer shall be entitled to reimburse itself for all previously unreimbursed
Skip-A-Pay Advances from funds on deposit in the Collection Account, before
making any distributions to Class A Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01, up to
an amount equal to the Skip-A-Pay Reimbursement Amount on such Payment Date;
provided, however, that the Skip-A-Pay Reimbursement Amount that the Master
Servicer is entitled to receive on such Payment Date shall be reduced by the
portion of such amount, if any, that was applied to reduce the amount of funds
that the Master Servicer was required to deposit or to cause to be deposited
into the Collection Account on the preceding Deposit Date pursuant to Section
3.02(b).

          (g) The relationship of the Master Servicer (and of any successor to
the Master Servicer as master servicer under this Agreement) to the Indenture
Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent.

          (h) In the event that the rights, duties and obligations of the Master
Servicer are terminated hereunder, any successor to the Master Servicer in its
sole discretion may, to the extent permitted by applicable law, terminate the
existing subservicer arrangements with any Servicer or assume the terminated
Master Servicer's rights under such subservicing arrangements which termination
or assumption will not violate the terms of such arrangements.

          Section 3.02 Collection of Certain Home Equity Loan Payments.

          (a) The Master Servicer shall make reasonable efforts to collect all
payments called for under the terms and provisions of the Home Equity Loans, and
shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this Agreement,
follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to home equity
loans in its servicing portfolio comparable to the Home Equity Loans. Consistent
with, and without limiting the generality of, the foregoing, the Master Servicer
may in its discretion (i) waive any late payment charge or any assumption fees
or other fees that may be collected in the ordinary course of servicing the Home
Equity Loans, (ii) arrange with a Mortgagor a schedule for the payment of
delinquent amounts, so long as such

                                       36
<PAGE>
arrangement is consistent with the Master Servicer's policies with respect to
the home equity loans it owns or services, (iii) sell the Home Equity Loan at
its fair market value to a third party for collection activity or (iv) treat a
Home Equity Loan as current if the Mortgagor has made one scheduled payment
(which, for the purposes of this Section 3.02(a)(iii) only, is in accordance
with the Master Servicer's customary servicing practices and may be less than
100% of the scheduled payment) to cure the delinquency status of such Home
Equity Loan.

          (b) The Master Servicer shall establish and maintain with the Trustee
a separate trust account (the "Collection Account") titled "[          ], as
Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of [             ] Home
Equity Loan Asset Backed Notes, Series 200[ ]-[ ]". In the event that a
successor Indenture Trustee is appointed as provided in Section [   ] of the
Indenture, a new Collection Account shall be promptly established at and
maintained by such successor Indenture Trustee, and the title of the new
Collection Account shall be "[Successor Indenture Trustee], as Indenture
Trustee, in trust for the registered holders of [           ] Home Equity Loan
Asset Backed Notes, Series 200[ ]-[ ]", and any amounts in the old Collection
Account shall be transferred to the new Collection Account. The Collection
Account shall be an Eligible Account. No later than 12:00 noon Chicago time on
each Deposit Date (or, if a Deposit Event has occurred and the Master Servicer
has not provided credit enhancement acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies,
within two (2) Business Days following receipt thereof), the Master Servicer
shall deposit or cause to be deposited into the Collection Account the following
payments and collections received or made by it with respect to the Home Equity
Loans (without duplication):

               (i) Interest Collections (net of any Servicing Fee) on the Home
               Equity Loans;

               (ii) Principal Collections on the Home Equity Loans;

               (iii) Insurance Proceeds (including, for this purpose, any amount
               required to be paid by the Master Servicer pursuant to Section
               3.04 and excluding any portion thereof constituting Principal
               Collections); and

               (iv) amounts required to be paid by the Master Servicer in
               connection with the termination of the Trust pursuant to Section
               8.01;

provided, however, that so long as a Deposit Event has not occurred (unless the
Master Servicer has provided credit enhancement acceptable to each of the Rating
Agencies [and the Insurer]), the amount of funds that the Master Servicer is
required to deposit or to cause to be deposited into the Collection Account on
or before such Deposit Date shall be reduced by the Skip-A-Pay Reimbursement
Amount the Master Servicer is entitled to receive on the next Payment Date.

         The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection
Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality
of the foregoing, fees (including annual fees) or late charge penalties payable
by Mortgagors, prepayment penalties, or amounts received by the Master Servicer
or a Servicer for the accounts of Mortgagors for application towards the payment
of taxes, insurance premiums, assessments and similar items for the account of
the related Servicer, if any, need not be deposited in the Collection Account.

                                       37
<PAGE>
          (c) The Indenture Trustee shall hold amounts deposited in the
Collection Account as trustee for the Class A Noteholders[, the Insurer] and the
Transferor in respect of the Ownership Interest. In addition, the Master
Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee in writing on each Determination
Date of the amount of payments and collections to be deposited in the Collection
Account with respect to the related Payment Date.

          (d) The Master Servicer may cause the institution maintaining the
Collection Account to invest any funds in the Collection Account in Permitted
Investments (including obligations of the Master Servicer or of any of its
affiliates, if such obligations otherwise qualify as Permitted Investments),
which shall mature or otherwise be available not later than the Business Day
next preceding the Payment Date or on the Payment Date next following the date
of such investment as long as such action does not result in a withdrawal or
downgrading of the then current ratings on the Class A Notes by the Rating
Agencies (except that any investment in an obligation of the institution with
which the Collection Account is maintained may mature on or before 12:00 noon,
Chicago time, on such Payment Date) and shall not be sold or disposed of prior
to its maturity. In the event the Indenture Trustee is at any time maintaining
the Collection Account, any request by the Master Servicer to invest funds on
deposit in the Collection Account shall be in writing, shall be delivered to the
Indenture Trustee at or before 10:30 A.M., Chicago time, if such investment is
to be made on such day, and shall certify that the requested investment is a
Permitted Investment that matures at or prior to the time required hereby. Any
such investment shall be registered in the name of or controlled by the
Indenture Trustee as trustee hereunder or in the name of its nominee and to the
extent such investments are certificated they shall be maintained in the
possession or control of the Indenture Trustee in the state of its Corporate
Trust Office. Except as provided above, all income and gain realized from any
such investment shall be for the benefit of the Master Servicer and shall be
subject to its withdrawal or order from time to time. The amount of any losses
incurred in respect of the principal amount of any such investments shall be
deposited in the Collection Account by the Master Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized.

          (e) The Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized to execute purchases
and sales of Permitted Investments as directed by the Master Servicer through
the facilities of its own trading or capital markets operations. The Indenture
Trustee shall send to the Master Servicer statements reflecting the monthly
activity for each such purchase and sale made for the preceding month. Although
the Master Servicer recognizes that it may obtain a broker confirmation or
written monthly statement containing comparable information at no additional
cost, the Master Servicer hereby agrees that confirmations of investments are
not required to be issued by the Indenture Trustee for each month in which a
monthly statement is rendered. No statement need be rendered pursuant to the
provision of this subsection if no activity occurred in the account for such
month.

          Section 3.03 Withdrawals from the Collection Account.

          (a) The Indenture Trustee shall withdraw or cause to be withdrawn
funds from the Collection Account for the following purposes:

                                       38
<PAGE>
               (i) On each Payment Date, to make distributions and payments to
               [the Insurer,] Class A Noteholders and the Transferor in respect
               of the Ownership Interest pursuant to Section 5.01;

               (ii) From time to time, to make investments in Permitted
               Investments and to pay to the Master Servicer all income and gain
               earned in respect of Permitted Investments or on funds deposited
               in the Collection Account;

               (iii) To reimburse the Depositor or the Master Servicer to the
               extent permitted by Section 6.03;

               (iv) To withdraw any funds deposited in the Collection Account
               that were not required to be deposited therein or were deposited
               therein in error and to pay such funds to the appropriate Person;

               (v) To pay to the party legally entitled by a final order of a
               court of competent jurisdiction in an insolvency proceeding an
               amount equal to any preference claim made with respect to amounts
               paid with respect to the Home Equity Loans; provided that, if any
               such amount is later determined not to be a preference by such
               court of competent jurisdiction and is returned to the Master
               Servicer or any Servicer, such amount shall be redeposited into
               the Collection Account by the Master Servicer;

               (vi) to clear and terminate the Collection Account upon the
               termination of this Agreement and to pay any amounts remaining
               therein to the Transferor in respect of the Ownership Interest;
               and

               (vii) to reimburse the Master Servicer for Skip-A-Pay Advances to
               the extent permitted by Section 3.01(f).

          (b) If the Master Servicer deposits in the Collection Account any
amount not required to be deposited therein or credited thereto or any amount in
respect of payments by Mortgagors made by checks subsequently returned for
insufficient funds or other reason for non-payment, it may at any time withdraw
such amount from the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.03(a)(iv), and any
such amounts shall not be included in Interest Collections and Principal
Collections, any provision herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Any
withdrawal or debit permitted by Section 3.03(a) may be accomplished by
delivering an Officer's Certificate to the Indenture Trustee which describes the
purpose of such withdrawal (including, without limitation, that any such amount
was deposited in the Collection Account in error or, in the case of returned
checks, that such amounts were properly debited, respectively). Upon receipt of
any such Officer's Certificate, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw such amount
for the account of the Master Servicer. All funds deposited by the Master
Servicer in the Collection Account shall be held by the Indenture Trustee in
trust for the Class A Noteholders[, the Insurer] and the Transferor in respect
of the Ownership Interest, until disbursed in accordance with Section 5.01 or
withdrawn or debited in accordance with this Section.

          Section 3.04 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance; Property Protection
Expenses. Each Home Equity Loan requires that the borrower thereunder maintain
hazard insurance naming the Master Servicer or the related Servicer as loss
payee providing extended coverage in an amount which is at least equal to the
lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the
combined principal balance owing on such Home Equity Loan and any mortgage loan
senior to such Home Equity Loan from time to time. The Master Servicer
represents and warrants that it or the applicable Seller verified the existence
of such hazard insurance at the origination of the Home Equity Loan. The Master
Servicer shall also maintain on property acquired upon foreclosure, or by grant
of deed in lieu of foreclosure, hazard insurance with extended coverage in an
amount which is at least equal to the lesser of (i) the maximum insurable value
of the Mortgaged Property or (ii) the combined unpaid principal balance owing on
such Home Equity Loan and any mortgage loans senior to such Home Equity Loans at
the time of such foreclosure or grant of deed in lieu of foreclosure plus
accrued interest thereon. Amounts collected by the Master Servicer under any
such policies shall be deposited in the Collection Account to the extent called
for by Section 3.02. In cases in which any Mortgaged Property is located in a
federally designated flood area, the hazard insurance to be maintained for the
related Home Equity Loan shall include flood insurance. All such flood insurance
shall be in such amounts as are required under applicable guidelines of Fannie
Mae. The Master Servicer shall be under no obligation to require that any
Mortgagor maintain earthquake or other additional insurance and shall be under
no obligation itself to maintain any such additional insurance on property
acquired in respect of a Home Equity Loan, other than pursuant to such
applicable laws and regulations as shall at any time be in force and as shall
require such additional insurance. As to Mortgaged Properties acquired by the
Master Servicer as provided herein, the Master Servicer may satisfy its
obligation set forth in the first sentence of this Section 3.04 by self insuring
Mortgaged Properties for which the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the
related Home Equity Loans plus the outstanding balance of any mortgage loans
senior to such Home Equity Loans at the time title was acquired, plus accrued
interest (the "Combined Exposure"), was less than $500,000 (or such other amount
as the Master Servicer may in good faith determine from time to time) and by
causing hazard policies to be maintained with respect to Mortgaged Properties
for which the Combined Exposure equals or exceeds the self insurance threshold
established from time to time by the Master Servicer by maintaining a blanket
policy consistent with prudent industry standards insuring against hazard losses
on the Mortgaged Properties. Such policy may contain a deductible clause, in
which case the Master Servicer shall, in the event that there shall not have
been maintained on the related Mortgaged Property a policy complying with the
first sentence of this Section 3.04, and there shall have been a loss which
would have been covered by such policy, deposit in the Collection Account the
amount not otherwise payable under the blanket policy because of such deductible
clause.

          Section 3.05 Assumption and Modification Agreements. In any case in
which a Mortgaged Property has been or is about to be conveyed by the Mortgagor,
the Master Servicer shall exercise or refrain from exercising its right to
accelerate the maturity of such Home Equity Loan consistent with the
then-current practice of the Master Servicer and without regard to the inclusion
of such Home Equity Loan in the Trust and not in the Master Servicer's
portfolio. If it elects not to enforce its right to accelerate or if it is
prevented from doing so by applicable law, the Master Servicer (so long as such
action conforms with the Master Servicer's underwriting standards at the time
for new originations) is authorized to take or enter into an assumption and

                                       40
<PAGE>
modification agreement from or with the Person to whom such Mortgaged Property
has been or is about to be conveyed, pursuant to which such Person becomes
liable under the Mortgage Note and, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Mortgagor remains liable thereon. The Master Servicer shall notify the
Indenture Trustee that any assumption and modification agreement has been
completed by delivering to the Indenture Trustee [(with a copy to the Insurer)]
an Officer's Certificate certifying that such agreement is in compliance with
this Section and by forwarding to the applicable Servicer on behalf of the
Depositor or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable, the original copy of such
assumption and modification agreement. Any such assumption and modification
agreement shall, for all purposes, be considered a part of the related Mortgage
File to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a
part thereof. No change in the terms of the related Mortgage Note may be made by
the Master Servicer in connection with any such assumption to the extent that
such change would not be permitted to be made in respect of the original
Mortgage Note pursuant to Section 3.01 unless the conditions specified in
Section 3.01 are satisfied. Any fee collected by the Master Servicer for
entering into any such agreement will be retained by the Master Servicer as
additional servicing compensation.

          Section 3.06 Realization Upon Defaulted Home Equity Loans.

          (a) The Master Servicer (or the Master Servicer together with the
related Seller as called for by the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement) shall
foreclose upon or otherwise comparably convert to ownership Mortgaged Properties
securing such of the Home Equity Loans as come into and continue in default
when, in the opinion of the Master Servicer based upon the practices and
procedures referred to in the following sentence, no satisfactory arrangements
can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to Section 3.02;
provided that if the Master Servicer has actual knowledge or reasonably believes
that any Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous or toxic wastes or
substances and that the acquisition of such Mortgaged Property would not be
commercially reasonable, then the Master Servicer will not cause the Trust to
acquire title to such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding.
In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Master Servicer
shall follow such practices (including, in the case of any default on a related
senior mortgage loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default) and
procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be normal and
usual in its general mortgage servicing activities. The foregoing is subject to
the proviso that the Master Servicer shall not be required to expend its own
funds in connection with any foreclosure or towards the correction of any
default on a related senior mortgage loan or restoration of any property unless
it shall determine that such expenditure will increase Net Liquidation Proceeds.
The Master Servicer will be reimbursed out of Liquidation Proceeds for advances
of its own funds to pay Liquidation Expenses before any Net Liquidation Proceeds
are deposited in the Collection Account.

          (b) In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in
foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale
shall (i) so long as at least two of Moody's, Standard & Poor's and Fitch assign
a long-term unsecured debt rating to the Master Servicer of at least "Baa3", in
the case of Moody's, "BBB", in the case of Fitch, and "BBB-" in the case of
Standard & Poor's, be issued in the name of the related Servicer or (ii) if the
rating requirements in clause (i) are not satisfied, be issued to the Indenture
Trustee, or to its nominee on behalf of Class A Noteholders.

          Section 3.07 [Reserved].

          Section 3.08 Indenture Trustee to Cooperate.

          (a) Upon any payment in full of the Principal Balance of any Home
Equity Loan, the Master Servicer is authorized to execute, pursuant to the
authorization contained in Section 3.01, if the assignments of Mortgage have
been recorded as required hereunder, an instrument of satisfaction regarding the
related Mortgage, which instrument of satisfaction shall be recorded by the
Master Servicer if required by applicable law and be delivered to the Person
entitled thereto. It is understood and agreed that no expenses incurred in
connection with such instrument of satisfaction or transfer shall be reimbursed
from amounts deposited in the Collection Account. If the Indenture Trustee is
holding the Mortgage Files, from time to time and as appropriate for the
servicing or foreclosure of any Home Equity Loan, the Indenture Trustee shall,
upon request of the Master Servicer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a
trust receipt signed by a Servicing Officer, release the related Mortgage File
to the Master Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee shall execute such documents
as shall be necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings or the taking
of other servicing actions. Such trust receipt shall obligate the Master
Servicer to return the Mortgage File to the Indenture Trustee when the need
therefor by the Master Servicer no longer exists unless the Home Equity Loan
shall be liquidated, in which case, upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate of
the Master Servicer, the trust receipt shall be released by the Indenture
Trustee to the Master Servicer.

          (b) In order to facilitate the foreclosure of the Mortgage securing
any Home Equity Loan that is in default following recordation of the assignments
of Mortgage in accordance with the provisions hereof, the Indenture Trustee
shall, if the Master Servicer so requests in writing and supplies the Indenture
Trustee with appropriate forms therefor, assign such Home Equity Loan for the
purpose of collection to the Master Servicer or to the related Servicer (any
such assignment shall unambiguously indicate that the assignment is for the
purpose of collection only), and, upon such assignment, such assignee for
collection will thereupon bring all required actions in its own name and
otherwise enforce the terms of the Home Equity Loan and deposit or credit the
Net Liquidation Proceeds received with respect thereto in the Collection
Account. In the event that all delinquent payments due under any such Home
Equity Loan are paid by the Mortgagor and any other defaults are cured then the

a review of the activities of the Master Servicer during the preceding calendar
year (or in the case of the Officer's Certificate delivered in 200[ ], from the
Closing Date) and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under
such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge,
based on such review, the Master Servicer has fulfilled all its material
obligations under this Agreement throughout such year (or in the case of the
Officer's Certificate delivered in 200[ ], from the Closing Date), or, if there
has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each

the servicing of home equity loans by the Master Servicer during the most recent
calendar year (or in the case of the report delivered in 200[ ], from the
Closing Date) then ended under pooling and servicing agreements (including this
Agreement) substantially similar to this Agreement and that such examination,
which has been conducted substantially in compliance with the audit guide for
audits of non-supervised mortgagees approved by the Department of Housing and
Urban Development for use by independent public accountants (to the extent that
the procedures in such audit guide are applicable to the servicing obligations
set forth in such agreements), has disclosed no items of noncompliance with the
provisions of this Agreement which, in the opinion of such firm, are material,

Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Master
Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting disclosure of information

constitute a breach of this Section.

Date, the Master Servicer shall supply information in such form as the Indenture
Trustee shall reasonably request to the Indenture Trustee and the Paying Agent

separate corporate existence of the Depositor, each Servicer and the Master
Servicer;

          (b) the Depositor, the Servicers and HFC will share certain overhead

          (c) separate financial records will be maintained to reflect the

HFC will not guaranty or advance the proceeds for payment of any obligations of
the Trust.

     Section 4.01 [Claims upon the Insurance Policy. (a) As soon as possible,
and in no event later than 10:00 a.m. New York City time on the second Business
Day immediately preceding the Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish
the Insurer, the Fiscal Agent and the Master Servicer with a completed notice in
the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Insurance Policy (the "Notice for
Payment") in the event that the Insured Payment for such Payment Date is equal
to an amount greater than zero. The Notice for Payment shall specify the amount
of Insured Payment and shall constitute a claim for an Insured Payment pursuant
to the Insurance Policy. Upon receipt of an Insured Payment on behalf of the
Holders of the Class A Notes under the Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee
shall deposit such Insured Payment in the Collection Account and shall
distribute such Insured Payments pursuant to Section 5.01.

     (b) The Indenture Trustee shall keep a complete and accurate record of the
amount of interest and principal paid in respect of the Class A Notes from
moneys received under the Insurance Policy. The Insurer shall have the right to
inspect such records at reasonable times during normal business hours upon four
Business Day's prior written notice to the Indenture Trustee.

     (c) If a payment to the Class A Noteholders which is guaranteed pursuant to
the Insurance Policy is voided (a "Preference Event") under any applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or similar law in an Insolvency Proceeding
(as defined in the Insurance Policy), and, as a result of such a Preference
Event, the Indenture Trustee is required to return such voided payment, or any
portion of such voided payment, made in respect of the Class A Notes (an
"Avoided Payment"), the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Insurer (w) a
certified copy of a final order of a court exercising jurisdiction in such
Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that the Indenture Trustee is required to
return any such payment or portion thereof during the term of the Insurance
Policy because such payment was voided under applicable law, with respect to
which order the appeal period has expired without an appeal having been filed
(the "Final Order"), (x) an Opinion of Counsel satisfactory to the Insurer that
such order is final and not subject to appeal, (y) an assignment, in form
reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer, irrevocably assigning to the Insurer all
rights and claims of the Indenture Trustee relating to or arising under such
Avoided Payment and (z) a Notice for Payment appropriately completed and
executed by the Indenture Trustee. Such payment shall be disbursed to the
receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in
the Final Order and not to the Indenture Trustee directly (unless a Class A
Noteholder has previously paid such amount to the receiver, conservator,
debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy named in the Final Order in which
case such payment shall be disbursed to the Beneficiary for distribution to such
Class A Noteholder upon proof of such payment reasonably satisfactory to
Insurer). The Indenture Trustee is not permitted to make a claim on the Trust or
on any Class A Noteholder for payments made to any Class A Noteholder which are
characterized as preference payments by any bankruptcy court having jurisdiction
over any bankrupt Mortgagor unless ordered to do so by such bankruptcy court.

herein to the contrary notwithstanding, any payment with respect to principal of

such Class A Notes, as applicable, from the Trust and shall not result in the
payment of or the provision for the payment of the principal of or interest on
such Class A Notes, as applicable, within the meaning of Section 5.01 herein.
The Master Servicer and the Indenture Trustee acknowledge, and each Holder by
its acceptance of a Class A Note agrees, that without the need for any further
action on the part of the Insurer, the Depositor, the Master Servicer, the
Indenture Trustee or the Note Registrar (a) to the extent the Insurer makes
payments, directly or indirectly, on account of principal of or interest on any
Class A Notes to the Holders of such Class A Notes, the Insurer will be fully
subrogated to the rights of such Holders to receive such principal and interest,
as applicable, from the Trust and (b) the Insurer shall be paid such principal
and interest but only from the sources and in the manner provided herein and in
the Insurance Agreement for the payment of such principal and interest.

     The Indenture Trustee and the Master Servicer shall cooperate in all
respects with any reasonable request by the Insurer for action to preserve or
enforce the Insurer's rights or interests under this Agreement without limiting
the rights or affecting the interests of the Holders of the Class A Notes as
otherwise set forth herein.]

the Depositor may, in accordance with and upon satisfaction of the conditions
set forth in the Insurance Policy and the Insurance Agreement and payment in

than the rating assigned by each Rating Agency to the Class A Notes immediately
prior to such Replacement Event. It shall be a condition to substitution of any
new credit enhancement that there be delivered to the Indenture Trustee (i) a
legal opinion, acceptable in form and substance to the Indenture Trustee, from
counsel to the provider of such new credit enhancement with respect to the
enforceability thereof and such other matters as the Indenture Trustee may
require and (ii) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such substitution
would not have a materially adverse tax effect on the Trust. Upon receipt of the
items referred to above and the taking of physical possession of the new credit
enhancement, the Indenture Trustee shall, within five Business Days following
receipt of such items and such taking of physical possession, deliver the
replaced Insurance Policy to the Insurer.]

Class A Noteholder and the Indenture Trustee shall agree. Distributions among

evidenced by the Class A Notes held by such Class A Noteholders. The Indenture
Trustee, acting in its capacity as Paying Agent, shall make distributions in

accordance with its normal procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be
responsible for disbursing such distribution to the Class A Note Owners that it
represents and to each indirect participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm"
or "indirect participating firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage
firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Class A Note Owners that
it represents. All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry

accordance with the provisions of the Class A Notes. None of the Indenture
Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Note Registrar, [the Insurer, ]the Trust or the

Trustee shall determine the applicable Class A Note Rate for the related Payment
Date.

                      THE MASTER SERVICER AND THE DEPOSITOR

     Section 6.01 Liability of the Master Servicer and the Depositor. The Master
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Master Servicer
herein. The Depositor shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent
of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Depositor
herein.

     Section 6.02 Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the Obligations
of, the Master Servicer or the Depositor. Any corporation into which the Master
Servicer or Depositor may be merged or consolidated, or any corporation
resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Master
Servicer or the Depositor shall be a party, or any corporation succeeding to the
business of the Master Servicer or the Depositor, shall be the successor of the
Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding.

     Section 6.03 Limitation on Liability of the Master Servicer, the Depositor
and Others. None of the Master Servicer, the Depositor, or any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be
under any liability to the Trust or the Certificateholders for any action taken
or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Master Servicer or the
Depositor, as applicable, in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for
errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Master Servicer, the Depositor or any such person against any liability which
would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless disregard of
obligations and duties hereunder, and that this provision shall not be construed
to entitle the Master Servicer to indemnity in the event that amounts advanced
by the Master Servicer to retire any senior Lien exceed Net Liquidation Proceeds
realized with respect to the related Home Equity Loan. The Master Servicer, the
Depositor and any director, officer, employee or agent of the Master Servicer or
the Depositor may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. The Master Servicer, the Depositor and any director, officer,
employee or agent of the Master Servicer or the Depositor shall be indemnified
by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred
in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement or the Class A
Notes, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Home
Equity Loan or Home Equity Loans (except as any such loss, liability or expense
shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss,
liability or expense incurred by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Neither the Master Servicer nor
the Depositor shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend
any legal action which is not incidental to its respective duties under this
Agreement, and which in its opinion may involve it in any expense or liability;
provided, however, that the Master Servicer or the Depositor may, in its sole
discretion, undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
in respect of this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and
the interests of the Class A Noteholders hereunder. In such

                                       56
<PAGE>

event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability
resulting therefrom and any claims by the Master Servicer or the Depositor
hereunder for indemnification shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust, and the Master Servicer or the Depositor, as the case may be, shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor and indemnified pursuant to the terms hereof
from amounts deposited in the Collection Account as provided by Section 3.03.
The Master Servicer's and the Depositor's right to indemnity or reimbursement
pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the
Master Servicer pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01 with respect to any losses,
expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination
(or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination).
The Master Servicer shall have no claim (whether by subrogation or otherwise) or
other action against any Certificateholder for any amounts paid by the Master
Servicer pursuant to any provision of this Agreement.

     Section 6.04 Master Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of
Section 6.02, the Master Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and
duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance
of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under
applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any
other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other
activities of the Master Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and
nature carried on by the Master Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at
the date of this Agreement or (ii) upon satisfaction of the following
conditions: (a) the Master Servicer has proposed a successor servicer to the
Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee [and the Insurer]; (b) each Rating Agency
shall have confirmed to the Indenture Trustee that the appointment of such
proposed successor servicer as Master Servicer hereunder will not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating of the Class A or Class M
Certificates; and (c) such proposed successor servicer has agreed in writing to
assume the obligations of Master Servicer hereunder and the Master Servicer has
delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that all
conditions precedent to the resignation of the Master Servicer and the
appointment of and acceptance by the proposed successor servicer have been
satisfied; provided, however, that in the case of clause (i) above no such
resignation by the Master Servicer shall become effective until the Indenture
Trustee shall have assumed the Master Servicer's responsibilities and
obligations hereunder or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a successor
servicer in accordance with Section 8.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve
the Master Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in
Sections 8.01 and 8.02 as obligations that survive the resignation or
termination of the Master Servicer. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Master Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be
evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture
Trustee [and the Insurer].

     Section 6.05 Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of business, the
Master Servicer at any time may delegate any of its duties hereunder to any
Person, including any of its Affiliates, who agrees to conduct such duties in
accordance with standards comparable to those with which the Master Servicer
complies pursuant to Section 3.01. Such delegation shall not relieve the Master
Servicer of its liabilities and responsibilities with respect to such duties and
shall not constitute a resignation within the meaning of Section 7.04. The
Master Servicer shall provide each Rating Agency [, the Insurer] and the
Indenture Trustee with written notice prior to

                                       57
<PAGE>

the delegation of any of its duties to any Person other than any of the Master
Servicer's Affiliates or their respective successors and assigns.

                           MASTER SERVICER TERMINATION

     Section 7.01 Master Servicer Termination Events.

     If any one of the following events ("Master Servicer Termination Events")
shall occur and be continuing:

     (a) Any failure by the Master Servicer to deposit in the Collection Account
any deposit required to be made under the terms of this Agreement which
continues unremedied for a period of five (5) Business Days after the date upon
which written notice of such failure shall have been given to the Master
Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor, or to the Master Servicer,
the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee by [the Insurer or] Holders of Class A
Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests of the
Class A Notes; or

     (b) Any failure on the part of the Master Servicer duly to observe or
perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of the Master
Servicer set forth in the Class A Notes or in this Agreement, which failure (A)
materially and adversely affects the interests of Class A Noteholders and (B)
continues unremedied for a period of sixty (60) days after the date on which
written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have
been given to the Master Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or the Depositor, or
to the Master Servicer, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee by [the Insurer
or] Holders of Class A Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate
Percentage Interests of the Class A Notes; or

     (c) The entry against the Master Servicer of a decree or order by a court
or agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for the
appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency,
conservatorship, receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding up or liquidation of its
affairs, and the continuance of any such decree or order unstayed and in effect
for a period of 60 consecutive days; or

     (d) The consent by the Master Servicer to the appointment of a trustee,
conservator, receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, conservatorship,
receivership, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or
similar proceedings of or relating to the Master Servicer or of or relating to
substantially all of its property; or the Master 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 or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations;

then, and in each and every case, so long as a Master Servicer Termination Event
shall not have been remedied by the Master Servicer, either the Indenture
Trustee[, the Insurer] or the Depositor may, and at the direction of Holders of
Class A Notes evidencing not less than 51% of the aggregate Percentage Interests
of the Class A Notes [(with the consent of the Insurer so long as no Insurer
Default exists)], the Indenture Trustee shall, by notice then given in writing
to the Master Servicer, the Depositor[, the Insurer] and the Indenture Trustee,
as applicable, terminate

                                       59
<PAGE>

all of the rights and obligations of the Master Servicer as master servicer
under this Agreement; provided, however, that the responsibilities and duties of
the initial Master Servicer with respect to the purchase of Home Equity Loans
pursuant to Sections 2.04(c) and 3.01 shall not terminate. Any such notice to
the Master Servicer shall also be given to each Rating Agency. On or after the
receipt by the Master Servicer of such written notice, all authority and power
of, and all benefits accruing to, the Master Servicer under this Agreement,
whether with respect to the Class A Notes or the Home Equity Loans or otherwise,
shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture Trustee or, if a successor Master
Servicer has been appointed under Section 7.02, such successor Master Servicer
pursuant to and under this Section 7.01; and, without limitation, the Indenture
Trustee is hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver, on behalf of
the Master Servicer, 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 transfer and endorsement of each Home Equity Loan and related
documents, or otherwise. The Master Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
Indenture Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Master Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Indenture Trustee for the administration by it of all cash
amounts that shall at the time be held by the terminated Master Servicer and to
be deposited by it in the Collection Account, or that have been deposited by the
terminated Master Servicer in the Collection Account or thereafter received by
the terminated Master Servicer with respect to the Home Equity Loans.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of performance under
Section 7.01(a) for a period of five (5) Business Days or under Section 7.01(b)
for a period of sixty (60) days, shall not constitute a Master Servicer
Termination Event if such delay or failure could not be prevented by the
exercise of reasonable diligence by the Master Servicer and such delay or
failure was caused by an act of God, acts of declared or undeclared war, public
disorder, terrorism, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning,
fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence
shall not relieve the Master Servicer from using its best efforts to perform its
obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this Agreement,
and the Master Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor [,
the Insurer] and the Class A Noteholders with an Officer's Certificate giving
prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description of its
efforts to so perform its obligations. The Master Servicer shall immediately
notify the Indenture Trustee [, the Insurer] and each Rating Agency in writing
of any Master Servicer Termination Events.

     Section 7.02 Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

     (a) On and after the time the Master Servicer receives a notice of
resignation or termination pursuant to Section 6.04 or 7.01, the Indenture
Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Master Servicer in its
capacity as servicer 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 Master Servicer by the terms and
provisions hereof; provided, however, that the responsibilities and duties of
HFC as Master Servicer with respect to the purchase of the Home Equity Loans
pursuant to Sections 2.04(c) and 3.01 shall not terminate. As compensation
therefor, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to such compensation as the
Master Servicer would have been entitled to hereunder if no such notice of
termination had been given. Notwithstanding the above, (i) if the Indenture
Trustee is unwilling to act as successor

                                       60
<PAGE>

Master Servicer, or (ii) if the Indenture Trustee is legally unable so to act,
the Indenture Trustee may (in the situation described in clause (i)) or shall
(in the situation described in clause (ii)) appoint, or petition a court of
competent jurisdiction to appoint, any housing and home finance institution or
other mortgage loan or home equity loan servicer having all licenses and permits
required in order to perform its obligations hereunder and a net worth of not
less than $50,000,000 as the successor to the Master Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Master Servicer hereunder; provided that [any such successor Servicer shall
be acceptable to the Insurer, as evidenced by the Insurer's prior written
consent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; and provided further
that] that the appointment of any such successor Master Servicer will not result
in the qualification, reduction or withdrawal of the then-current rating
assigned to either the Class A or Class M Certificates by the Rating Agencies,
as evidenced by a writing to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee [and
the Insurer]. Pending appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer
hereunder, unless the Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the
Indenture Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In
connection with such appointment and assumption, the successor shall be entitled
to receive compensation out of payments on Home Equity Loans in an amount equal
to the compensation which the Master Servicer would otherwise have received
pursuant to Section 3.09 (or such lesser compensation as the Indenture Trustee
and such successor shall agree). The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.

     (b) Any successor, including the Indenture Trustee, to the Master Servicer
as master servicer shall during the term of its service as master servicer (i)
continue to service and administer the Home Equity Loans for the benefit of
Certificateholders and (ii) maintain in force a policy or policies of insurance
covering errors and omissions in the performance of its obligations as Master
Servicer hereunder and a fidelity bond in respect of its officers, employees and
agents to the same extent as the Master Servicer is so required pursuant to
Section 3.13. The appointment of a successor Master Servicer shall not affect
any liability of the predecessor Master Servicer which may have arisen under
this Agreement prior to its termination as Master Servicer (including, without
limitation, any deductible under an insurance policy pursuant to Section 3.04),
nor shall any successor Master Servicer be liable for any acts or omissions of
the predecessor Master Servicer or for any breach by such Master Servicer or the
Depositor of any of their representations or warranties contained herein or in
any related document or agreement.

     Section 7.03 Waiver of Defaults. The Insurer or the Majority Noteholders
with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld) may, on behalf of all Class A Noteholders, waive any events permitting
removal of the Master Servicer as master servicer pursuant to this Article VIII,
provided, however, that the Insurer and the Majority Noteholders may not waive a
default in making a required distribution on a Class A Note without the consent
of the Holder of such Class A Note. Upon any waiver of a past default, such
default shall cease to exist and any Master Servicer Termination Event 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.
Notice of any such waiver shall be given by the Indenture Trustee to the Rating
Agencies.

     Section 7.04 Notification to Class A Noteholders. Upon any termination or
appointment of a successor to the Master Servicer pursuant to this Article VII

thereof to the Class A Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in
the Class A Note Register, the Insurer and each Rating Agency.

                                   TERMINATION

     Section 8.01 Termination.

     (a) The respective obligations and responsibilities of the Depositor, the
Seller, the Master Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee created hereby
(other than the obligation of the Indenture Trustee to make certain payments to
Class A Noteholders after the Final Payment Date and the obligation of the
Master Servicer to send certain notices as hereinafter set forth) shall
terminate upon notice to the Indenture Trustee of the later of (A) payment in
full of all amounts owing to the Insurer unless the Insurer shall otherwise
consent and (B) the earliest of (i) the final payment or other liquidation of
the last Home Equity Loan remaining in the Trust; (ii) the optional purchase by
the Master Servicer of the Home Equity Loans as described below and (iii) the
Payment Date in [        ]. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the
trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the date of
the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador
of the United States to the Court of St. James's, living on the date hereof.

     (b) The Master Servicer may, at its option, terminate this Agreement on any
Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the aggregate Pool Balance is
less than or equal to [ ] of the Cut-Off Date Pool Balance by purchasing, on the
next succeeding Payment Date, all of the outstanding Home Equity Loans and REO
Properties at a price (the "Termination Price") equal the greatest of (A) the
sum of (x) 100% of the Principal Balance of each Home Equity Loan (other than
any Home Equity Loan as to which title to the underlying Mortgaged Property has
been acquired and whose fair market value is included pursuant to clause (y)
below) as of the first day of the Collection Period preceding the Distribution
Date upon which the proceeds of any repurchase are to be distributed and (y) the
fair market value of such acquired property (as determined by the Master
Servicer as of the close of business on the third Business Day next preceding
the date upon which notice of any such termination is furnished to
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 8.01(e)) plus, in each case, one month's
interest at the applicable Net Loan Rate on the Principal Balance of each Home
Equity Loan (including any Home Equity Loan as to which title to the underlying
Mortgaged Property has been acquired), (B) the aggregate fair market value (as
determined by the Master Servicer as of the close of business on such third
preceding Business Day) of all of the assets of the Trust, and (C) the Class A
Note Principal Amount, together with any unpaid Interest Carry Forward Amounts,
plus one month's interest on such Class A Note Principal Amount and any unpaid
Interest Carry Forward Amounts at the Class A Note Rate, [plus all amounts due
and owing to the Insurer].

     Any such purchase shall be accomplished by deposit into the Collection
Account on the Determination Date before such Payment Date of the Termination
Price.

     (c) Notice of any termination, specifying the Payment Date (which shall be
a date that would otherwise be a Payment Date) upon which the Class A
Noteholders may surrender their Class A Notes to the Indenture Trustee for
payment of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by
the Indenture Trustee (upon receipt of written directions from the Master
Servicer, if the Master Servicer is exercising its right to transfer of the Home

                                       63
<PAGE>

Equity Loans, given not later than the first day of the month preceding the
month of such final distribution) to the Insurer and to the Master Servicer by
letter to the Class A Noteholders mailed not earlier than the 15th day and not
later than the 25th day of the month next preceding the month of such final
distribution specifying (i) the Payment Date upon which final distribution of
the Class A Notes will be made upon presentation and surrender of Class A Notes
at the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein designated, (ii) the
amount of any such final distribution and (iii) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable, distributions being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Class A Notes at the office or agency of
the Indenture Trustee therein specified.

     (d) Upon presentation and surrender of the Class A Notes, the Indenture
Trustee shall cause to be distributed to the Holders of the Class A Notes on the
Payment Date for such final distribution, in proportion to the Percentage
Interests of their respective Class A Notes and to the extent that funds are
available for such purpose, an amount equal to the amount required to be
distributed to Class A Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Payment
Date. On the final Payment Date prior to having made the distributions called
for above, the Indenture Trustee shall, based upon the information set forth in
the Servicing Certificate for such Payment Date, withdraw from the Collection
Account and remit to the Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount available for
distribution on such final Payment Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to
pay the Class A Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01(a) and any amounts owing to
the Indenture Trustee in respect of the Indenture Trustee Fee and due and unpaid
Skip-A-Pay Advances and Servicing Fees, and (y) the unpaid amounts due and owing
to the Insurer pursuant to the Insurance Agreement.

     (e) In the event that all of the Class A Noteholders shall not surrender
their Class A Notes for final payment and cancellation on or before such final
Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all
funds in the Distribution Account not distributed in final distribution to Class
A Noteholders, to be withdrawn therefrom and credited to the remaining Class A
Noteholders by depositing such funds in a separate escrow account for the
benefit of such Class A Noteholders, and the Master Servicer (if the Master
Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the Home Equity Loans) or the
Indenture Trustee (in any other case) shall give a second written notice to the
remaining Class A Noteholders to surrender their Class A Notes for cancellation
and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within nine months
after the second notice all the Class A Notes shall not have been surrendered
for cancellation, the Transferor Interest will be entitled to all unclaimed
funds and other assets which remain subject hereto and the Indenture Trustee
upon transfer of such funds shall be discharged of any responsibility for such
funds and the Noteholders shall look to the holder of the Transferor Interest
for payment.

     (f) Upon payment of all amounts owed under the Insurance Policy and
cancellation of the Class A Notes, the Indenture Trustee shall provide the
Insurer notice of cancellation of the Class A Notes and surrender the Insurance
Policy to the Insurer.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

     Section 9.01 Amendment.

     (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Depositor, the
Master Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee by written agreement,
without the consent of any of the Class A Noteholders[, but only with the
consent of the Insurer (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld)] (i)
to cure any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein that
may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein or to correct any error,
(iii) to add to the duties of the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee or the Master
Servicer, (iv) to add, amend or modify any other provisions with respect to
matters or questions arising under this Agreement [or the Insurance Policy, as
the case may be], which shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement, (v) to add or amend any provisions of this Agreement as required by
any Rating Agency or any other nationally recognized statistical rating agency
in order to maintain or improve any rating of the Class A Notes (it being
understood that, after obtaining the ratings in effect on the Closing Date,
neither the Indenture Trustee, the Depositor nor the Master Servicer is
obligated to obtain, maintain or improve any such rating), (vi) to comply with
any requirement imposed by changes in accounting policies that do not materially
impact the Class A Notes, or (vii) to comply with any requirements imposed by
the Code; provided, however, that as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel (at the
expense of the party requesting such amendment) in each case (other than a case
arising under clause (vi) or (vii)) such action shall not adversely affect in
any material respect the interest of any Class A Noteholder [or the Insurer],
provided, further, that the amendment shall not be deemed to adversely affect in
any material respect the interests of the Class A Noteholder [or the Insurer],
and no Opinion of Counsel to that effect shall be required if the Person
requesting the amendment obtains a letter from the Rating Agency stating that
the amendment would not result in the downgrading or withdrawal of the
respective ratings then assigned to the Class A Notes [without regard to the
Insurance Policy].

     (b) This Agreement also may be amended from time to time by the Master
Servicer, the Depositor, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, with the consent
of the Holders of Class A Notes representing not less than 51% of the Class A
Note Principal Amount, [and with the consent of the Insurer (which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld),] for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or
of modifying in any manner the rights of the Class A Noteholders or the
Transferor in respect of the Ownership Interest; provided, however, that no such
amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
payments on the Class A Notes [or distributions or payments under the Insurance
Policy which are required to be made on the Class A Notes] without the consent
of the Holder of such Class A Notes or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage
required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of
all Class A Notes then outstanding.

     Prior to the execution of any such amendments, the Indenture Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating
Agency. In addition, promptly after the execution of any such amendment made
with the consent of the Class A Noteholders, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish
written notification of the substance of such

                                       65
<PAGE>

amendment to each Class A Noteholder and fully executed original counterparts of
the instruments effecting such amendment to the Insurer.

     (c) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Class A Noteholders under
this Section 9.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Class A Noteholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.

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

     Section 9.02 Recordation of Agreement.

     To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Agreement, or a memorandum
thereof if permitted under applicable law, is subject to recordation in all
appropriate public offices for real property records in all of the counties or
other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the Mortgaged Properties
are situated, and in any other appropriate public recording office or elsewhere,
such recordation to be effected by the Master Servicer at the Class A
Noteholders' expense on direction of the Indenture Trustee or the Majority Class
A Noteholders, but only when accompanied by an opinion of counsel to the effect
that such recordation materially and beneficially affects the interests of the
Class A Noteholders or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the
Home Equity Loans.

                                   Schedule 1

              PERFECTION REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

The Depositor hereby represents, warrants, and covenants to the Trustee as to
itself and the Sellers as follows on the Closing Date and on each Distribution
Date thereafter:

                                     General

1. This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined
in the applicable UCC) in the Home Equity Loans in favor of the Indenture
Trustee, and the Indenture creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the applicable UCC0, each of which security interest is prior to all
other Liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and purchasers
from the Depositor.

2. The Home Equity Loans constitute "general intangibles" or "instruments"
within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

3. The Collection Account and all subaccounts thereof constitute either a
deposit account or a securities account.

4. To the extent that payments and collections received or made with respect to
the Home Equity Loans constitute securities entitlements, such payments and
collections have been and will have been credited to the Collection Account. The
securities intermediary for the Collection Account has agreed to treat all
assets credited to the Collection Account as "financial assets" within the
meaning of the applicable UCC.

                                    Creation

5. The Depositor owns and has good and marketable title to the Home Equity Loans
free and clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person, excepting only
liens for taxes, assessments or similar governmental charges or levies incurred
in the ordinary course of business that are not yet due and payable or as to
which any applicable grace period shall not have expired, or that are being
contested in good faith by proper proceedings and for which adequate reserves
have been established, but only so long as foreclosure with respect to such a
lien is not imminent and the use and value of the property to which the Lien
attaches is not impaired during the pendency of such proceeding.

6. The Depositor has received all consents and approvals to the sale of the Home
Equity Loans hereunder to the Trust required by the terms of the Home Equity
Loans that constitute instruments.

7. To the extent the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof constitute
securities entitlements, certificated securities or uncertificated securities,
the Depositor has received all

                                      1-1
<PAGE>

consents and approvals required to transfer to the Trustee its interest and
rights in the Collection Account hereunder.

                                   Perfection

8. The Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after the
effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate financing
statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate jurisdictions under
applicable law in order to perfect the sale of the Home Equity Loans from the
Depositor to the Trust, the security interest in the Home Equity Loans granted
to the Trust hereunder, the pledge of the Home Equity Loans from the Trust to
the Indenture Trustee, and the security interest in the Home Equity Loans
granted to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture.

9. With respect to the Collection Account and all subaccounts that constitute
deposit accounts, either:

         (i) the Depositor has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a
         fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the bank maintaining the
         deposit accounts has agreed to comply with all instructions originated
         by the Indenture Trustee directing disposition of the funds in the
         Collection Account without further consent by the Depositor; or

         (ii) the Depositor has taken all steps necessary to cause the Indenture
         Trustee to become the account holder of the Collection Account.

10. With respect to the Collection Account or subaccounts thereof that
constitute securities accounts or securities entitlements, either:

         (i) the Depositor has caused or will have caused, within ten days after
         the effective date of this Agreement, the filing of all appropriate
         financing statements in the proper filing office in the appropriate
         jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security
         interest in the Collection Account granted by the Depositor to the
         Trust and by the Trust to the Indenture Trustee; or

         (ii) the Depositor has delivered to the Indenture Trustee a
         fully-executed agreement pursuant to which the securities intermediary
         has agreed to comply with all instructions originated by the Indenture
         Trustee relating to the Collection Account without further consent by
         the Depositor; or

         (iii) the Depositor has taken all steps necessary to cause the
         securities intermediary to identify in its records the Indenture
         Trustee as the person having a security entitlement against the
         securities intermediary in the Collection Account.

                                      1-2

                                    Priority

11. Other than the transfer of the Home Equity Loans to the Trust under the
Transfer Agreement, and the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to
this Agreement, neither the Depositor nor the Sellers have pledged, assigned,
sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Home
Equity Loans. Neither the Depositor nor the Sellers have authorized the filing
of, or are aware of any financing statements against the Depositor or any of the
Sellers that include a description of collateral covering the Home Equity Loans
other than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to
the Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated.

12. The Depositor is not aware of any judgment, ERISA or tax lien filings
against either the Depositor or any of the Sellers.

13. To the Depositor's knowledge, none of the instruments that constitute or
evidence the Home Equity Loans has any marks or notations indicating that they
have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
Trust.

14. Neither the Collection Account nor any subaccount thereof is in the name of
any person other than the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee as trustee under
the Indenture or in the name of its nominee. The Depositor has not consented for
the securities intermediary of the Collection Account to comply with entitlement
orders of any person other than the Indenture Trustee.

15. Survival of Perfection Representations. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement or any other transaction document, the Perfection
Representations contained in this Schedule shall be continuing, and remain in
full force and effect (notwithstanding any replacement of the Master Servicer or
termination of the Master Servicer's rights to act as such) until such time as
all obligations under this Agreement have been finally and fully paid and
performed.

16. No Waiver. The parties to this Agreement (i) shall not, without obtaining a
confirmation of the then-current rating of the Class A Notes, waive any of the
Perfection Representations, and (ii) shall provide the Rating Agencies with
prompt written notice of any breach of the Perfection Representations, and shall
not, without obtaining a confirmation of the then-current rating of the Class A
Notes (as determined after any adjustment or withdrawal of the ratings following
notice of such breach) waive a breach of any of the Perfection Representations.

17. Master Servicer to Maintain Perfection and Priority. The Master Servicer
covenants that, in order to evidence the interests of the Depositor, the Trust
and the Indenture Trustee under this Agreement, the Master Servicer shall take
such action, or execute and deliver such instruments (other than effecting a
Filing (as defined below), unless such Filing is effected in accordance with
this paragraph) as may be necessary or advisable (including, without limitation,
such actions as are requested by the Indenture Trustee) to maintain and perfect,
as a first priority interest, the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the
Home Equity Loans. The Master Servicer shall, from time to time and within the
time limits established by law, prepare and present to the Indenture Trustee for
the Indenture Trustee to authorize (based in reliance on the Opinion of Counsel
hereinafter provided for) the Master Servicer to file, all financing statements,

                                      1-3
<PAGE>

amendments, continuations, initial financing statements in lieu of a
continuation statement, terminations, partial terminations, releases or partial
releases, or any other filings necessary or advisable to continue, maintain and
perfect the Indenture Trustee's security interest in the Home Equity Loans as a
first-priority interest (each a "Filing"). The Master Servicer shall present
each such Filing to the Indenture Trustee together with (x) an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such Filing is (i) consistent with grant of the
security interest to the Trust pursuant to Section 2.01 of this Agreement and
the grant of the security interest to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
Indenture, (ii) satisfies all requirements and conditions to such Filing in this
Agreement and (iii) satisfies the requirements for a Filing of such type under
the Uniform Commercial Code in the applicable jurisdiction (or if the Uniform
Commercial Code does not apply, the applicable statute governing the perfection
of security interests), and (y) a form of authorization for the Indenture
Trustee's signature. Upon receipt of such Opinion of Counsel and form of
authorization, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly authorize in writing the
Master Servicer to, and the Master Servicer shall, effect such Filing under the
Uniform Commercial Code without the signature of the Depositor or the Trust or
the Indenture Trustee where allowed by applicable law. Notwithstanding anything
else in the transaction documents to the contrary, the Master Servicer shall not
have any authority to effect a Filing without obtaining written authorization
from the Indenture Trustee.
