certificate of authentication substantially in the form provided for herein
executed by the Indenture Trustee by the manual signature of one of its
authorized signatories, and such certificate upon any Note shall be conclusive
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Note has been duly authenticated and
delivered hereunder.

                  Section 2.03. ACCEPTANCE OF MORTGAGE LOANS BY INDENTURE
TRUSTEE.

                  (a)      The Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of,
subject to the exceptions it notes pursuant to the procedures described below,
the documents (or certified copies thereof) referred to in Section 2.3 of the
Purchase Agreement, and declares that it holds and will continue to hold those
documents and any amendments, replacements or supplements thereto and all other
assets of the Trust Estate as Indenture Trustee in trust for the use and benefit
of all present and future Holders of the Notes and the Note Insurer.

                                       4

                  The parties hereto understand and agree that it is not
intended that any Mortgage Loan be included in the Trust that is a "High-Cost
Home Loan" as defined by the Homeownership and Equity Protection Act of 1994 or
any other applicable predatory or abusive lending laws.

                  The Indenture Trustee agrees, for the benefit of the
Noteholders and the Note Insurer, to review each Mortgage File on or before the
Closing Date, with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, or the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Date, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and to
certify in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-1 that, as to
each Mortgage Loan listed in the Mortgage Loan Schedule (other than any Mortgage
Loan specifically identified in the exception report annexed thereto as not
being covered by such certification), (i) all documents constituting part of
such Mortgage File (other than such documents described in Section 2.3(e) and
(f) of the Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and
each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans) required to be delivered to it pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, with
respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and each Subsequent Transfer Agreement,
with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans are in its possession, (ii) such
documents have been reviewed by it and appear regular on their face and relate
to such Mortgage Loan and (iii) based on its examination and only as to the
foregoing, the information set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule that
corresponds to items (iii), (vii), and (viii) of the definition of "Mortgage
Loan Schedule" accurately reflects information set forth in the Mortgage File.
It is herein acknowledged that, in conducting such review, the Indenture Trustee
was under no duty or obligation (i) to inspect, review or examine any such
documents, instruments, certificates or other papers to determine whether they
are genuine, enforceable, or appropriate for the represented purpose or whether
they have actually been recorded or that they are other than what they purport
to be on their face or (ii) to determine whether any Mortgage File should
include any of the documents specified in clauses (e) and (f) of Section 2.3 of
the Purchase Agreement, with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and each
Subsequent Transfer Agreement, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

                  On or prior to the first anniversary date of this Indenture,
the Indenture Trustee shall deliver to the Depositor, the Note Insurer and the
Servicer a final certification in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit C-2
evidencing the completeness of the Mortgage Files, with any applicable
exceptions noted thereon, and the Servicer shall forward a copy thereof to any
Sub-Servicer.

                  If in the process of reviewing the Mortgage Files and making
or preparing, as the case may be, the certifications referred to above, the
Indenture Trustee finds any document or documents constituting a part of a
Mortgage File to be missing or defective in any material respect, at the
conclusion of its review the Indenture Trustee shall so notify the Depositor,
the Note Insurer and the Servicer. In addition, upon the actual knowledge of a
Responsible Officer of the Indenture Trustee of a breach of any of the
representations and warranties made by the Seller in the Purchase Agreement,
with respect to the Initial Mortgage Loans, and each Subsequent Transfer
Agreement, with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans in respect of any
Mortgage Loan which materially adversely affects such Mortgage Loan or the
interests of the Noteholders or the Note Insurer in such Mortgage Loan, the
Person discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the
Depositor, the Servicer, the Note Insurer and the Seller.

                                       5

                  (b)      The Indenture Trustee agrees, for the benefit of
Noteholders and the Note Insurer, within 90 days after execution and delivery of
this Indenture, to review the Mortgage Files to ascertain that all required
documents set forth in paragraphs (a) - (d) of Section 2.3 of the Purchase
Agreement have been executed and received, and that such documents relate to the
Mortgage Loans identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule and that the Mortgage
Notes have been endorsed as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Purchase Agreement,
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 Mortgage Loans
identified in said Mortgage Loan Schedule, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly
upon the conclusion of its review notify the Seller, the Depositor and the Note
Insurer, and the Seller shall have a period of 90 days after such notice within
which to correct or cure any such defect.

                  The Indenture Trustee shall have no responsibility for
reviewing any Mortgage File except as expressly provided in subsection (b) of
this Section 2.03. Without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, in
reviewing any Mortgage File pursuant to such subsection, 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 Indenture 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, 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, but shall not be required to determine whether any Person executing
any document is authorized to do so or whether any signature thereon is genuine.

                  (c)      Upon deposit of the Purchase Price in the Collection
Account, and, upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of written notification of
such deposit, signed by an officer of the Seller, the Indenture Trustee shall
release to the Seller the related Mortgage File and the Indenture Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments of transfer or assignment, in each case
without recourse, furnished to it by the Seller as are necessary to vest in the
Seller or its designee any Mortgage Loan released pursuant hereto. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Seller to purchase any Mortgage
Loan as to which a material defect in or omission of a constituent document
exists shall constitute the sole remedy against the Seller respecting such
defect or omission available to the Note Insurer, the Noteholders or the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders.

                  Section 2.04. ACCEPTANCE OF CORRIDOR CONTRACT BY INDENTURE
TRUSTEE. The Issuer hereby directs the Indenture Trustee to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Corridor Contract on the Closing Date and
thereafter on behalf of the Holders of the Notes. The Issuer and the Holders of
the Notes by their acceptance of such Notes acknowledge and agree that the
Indenture Trustee shall execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the
Corridor Contract and shall do so solely in its capacity as Indenture Trustee of
the Trust and not in its individual capacity.

                  The Indenture Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Corridor
Contract and declares that it holds and will continue to hold this document and
any amendments, replacements or

                                       6
<PAGE>

supplements thereto and all other assets of the Trust Estate as Indenture
Trustee in trust for the use and benefit of all present and future Holders of
the Notes. Every provision of this Indenture affording protection to the
Indenture Trustee shall apply to the Indenture Trustee's execution of the
Corridor Contract and the performance of its duties and satisfaction of its
obligations thereunder.

                  Section 2.05. CONVEYANCE OF SUBSEQUENT MORTGAGE LOANS.

                  (a)      Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set
forth in paragraph (b) below and pursuant to the terms of each Subsequent
Transfer Agreement, in consideration of the Indenture Trustee's delivery, on
behalf of the Trust, on the related Subsequent Transfer Date to or upon the
order of the Seller of the purchase price therefor, the Seller shall on any
Subsequent Transfer Date sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey
without recourse to the Trust, (i) all right, title and interest of the Seller
in and to each Subsequent Mortgage Loan transferred pursuant to such Subsequent
Transfer Agreement, including the related Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and all
interest accruing thereon after the related Due Date in the calendar month
preceding the Subsequent Transfer Date and all collections in respect of
principal received after the related Cut-Off Date (other than payments in
respect of accrued interest on such Subsequent Mortgage Loans through the
related Due Date in the calendar month preceding the Subsequent Transfer Date);
(ii) property which secured such Subsequent Mortgage Loan and which has been
acquired by foreclosure or deed in lieu of foreclosure; (iii) its interest in
any insurance policies in respect of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans; and (iv)
all proceeds of any of the foregoing. The transfer by the Seller to the Trust of
the Subsequent Mortgage Loans set forth in the Subsequent Transfer Agreement
shall be absolute and shall be intended by the Seller and all parties hereto to
be treated as a sale by the Seller to the Trust. If the assignment and transfer
of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the other property specified in this
Section 2.05 from the Seller to the Trust pursuant to the Subsequent Transfer
Instrument is held or deemed not to be a sale or is held or deemed to be a
pledge of security for a loan, the Seller intends that the rights and
obligations of the parties shall be established pursuant to the terms of the
Subsequent Transfer Instrument and that, in such event, (i) the Seller shall be
deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to the Trust as of such Subsequent
Transfer Date a first priority security interest in the entire right, title and
interest of the Seller in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and all other
property conveyed to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.05 and all proceeds
thereof and (ii) the Subsequent Transfer Instrument shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. The purchase price shall be one hundred percent
(100%) of the Cut-Off Date Principal Balances of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans.
On or before each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller shall deliver to, and
deposit with the Indenture Trustee, the Related Documents with respect to each
Subsequent Mortgage Loan transferred on such Subsequent Transfer Date, and the
Mortgage Loan Schedule in computer readable format with respect to such
Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

                  (b)      The Seller shall transfer and deliver to the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Trust the Subsequent Mortgage Loans and the
other property and rights related thereto described in paragraph (a) of this
Section 2.05 only upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions on
or prior to the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date:

                  (i)      The Seller shall have provided the Issuer, the
         Depositor, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and
         the Rating Agencies with an Addition Notice in

                                       7
<PAGE>

         substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit F, which notice shall
         be given not less than two Business Days prior to the applicable
         Subsequent Transfer Date and shall designate the Subsequent Mortgage
         Loans to be sold to the Trust and the Aggregate Principal Balance of
         such Mortgage Loans and the Rating Agencies shall have informed the
         Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, the Note Insurer or the Indenture
         Trustee prior to the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date that the
         inclusion of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans will not result in the
         downgrade or withdrawal of the ratings assigned to the Class A Notes
         (without taking the Note Insurance Policy into account);

                  (ii)     The Seller shall have delivered to the Issuer, the
         Indenture Trustee and the Servicer a duly executed Subsequent Transfer
         Agreement in substantially the form of Exhibit G;

                  (iii)    The Seller shall have delivered to the Servicer for
         deposit in the Collection Account all principal collected and interest
         collected to the extent accrued and due after the related Due Date in
         the calendar month preceding the month of the Subsequent Transfer Date;

                  (iv)     As of each Subsequent Transfer Date, the Seller was
         not insolvent, the Seller will not be made insolvent by such transfer
         and the Seller is not aware of any pending insolvency;

                  (v)      The Funding Period shall not have terminated;

                  (vi)     The Seller shall have provided the Issuer, the
         Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the Rating Agencies with an
         Opinion of Counsel relating to the sale (i.e., "True Sale Opinion") of
         the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to the Indenture Trustee and the
         enforceability of the Subsequent Transfer Agreement, which matters may
         be covered in the opinions delivered on the Closing Date;

                  (vii)    The Aggregate Principal Balance of Subsequent
         Mortgage Loans does not exceed the Original Pre-Funded Amount; and

                  (viii)   On the last Subsequent Transfer Date, the Indenture
         Trustee shall have received an accountant's letter confirming that the
         characteristics of the Mortgage Loans (including the Subsequent
         Mortgage Loans) satisfy the parameters set forth in Exhibit H hereto.

                  (c)      The Seller and the Indenture Trustee shall comply
with their respective obligations set forth in Section 2.03 hereof and Section
2.02 of the Servicing Agreement with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans
delivered on each Subsequent Transfer Date. References in such Sections to the
Initial Mortgage Loans or Mortgage Loans shall be deemed to refer to the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans and references to the Cut-Off Date or the Closing
Date, as applicable, shall be deemed to refer to the applicable related Cut-Off
Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, respectively, except that references to 360
days after the Closing Date shall remain unchanged as shall representations made
with specific reference to the Initial Mortgage Loans including such
representations made under Sections 2.02(iii), 2.02(vi), 2.02(xlvii) and
2.02(xlix) of the Servicing Agreement.

                  Except as specifically provided in the immediately preceding
sentence each Subsequent Mortgage Loan complies with each representation and
warranty in Section 2.02(a) of the Servicing Agreement as of the related Cut-Off
Date (or such other date specified).

separate trust account (the "Payment Account") titled Payment Account, "Deutsche
Bank National Trust Company, as Indenture Trustee, in trust for the registered
holders of Home Loan Mortgage Loan Trust Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2004-2." The
Payment Account shall be an Eligible Account. The Indenture Trustee shall
deposit any amounts received by it from the Collection Account representing
payments on and any collections in respect of the Mortgage Loans in the Payment
Account immediately following receipt thereof, and such amounts shall be
withdrawn from the Payment Account as provided in Section 3.05 herein from
monies on deposit in the Payment Account. Amounts on deposit in the Payment
Account may be invested in Eligible Investments pursuant to Section 3.10.

                  Section 3.02. MAINTENANCE OF OFFICE OR AGENCY. The Issuer will
maintain an office or agency where, subject to satisfaction of conditions set
forth herein, Notes may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange,
and where notices and demands to or upon the Issuer in respect of the Notes and
this Indenture may be served. The Issuer hereby initially appoints the Indenture
Trustee to serve as its agent for the foregoing purposes. If at any time the
Issuer shall fail to maintain any such office or agency or shall fail to furnish
the Indenture Trustee with the address thereof, such surrenders may be made at
the office of the Indenture Trustee's agent located at c/o DTC Transfer
Services, 55 Water Street, Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New York 10041, and

respect to any Notes that are to be made from amounts withdrawn from the Payment

as its Paying Agent.

                  The Issuer shall cause each Paying Agent other than the
Indenture Trustee to execute and deliver to the Indenture Trustee an instrument
in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Indenture Trustee (and if the
Indenture Trustee acts as Paying Agent it hereby so agrees), subject to the
provisions of this Section 3.03, that such Paying Agent shall:

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

                                       10
<PAGE>

                  (ii)     give the Indenture Trustee notice of any default by
         the Issuer of which a Responsible Officer has actual knowledge in the
         making of any payment required to be made with respect to the Notes;

                  (iii)    at any time during the continuance of any such
         default, upon the written request of the Indenture Trustee, forthwith
         pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums so held in trust by such Paying
         Agent;

                  (iv)     immediately resign as Paying Agent and forthwith pay
         to the Indenture Trustee all sums held by it in trust for the payment
         of Notes if at any time it ceases to meet the standards required to be
         met by a Paying Agent at the time of its appointment;

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

                  (vi)     not commence a bankruptcy proceeding against the
         Issuer in connection with this Indenture.

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

                  Subject to applicable laws with respect to escheat of funds,
any money held by the Indenture Trustee or any Paying Agent in trust for the
payment of any amount due with respect to any Note and remaining unclaimed for
one year after such amount has become due and payable shall be discharged from
such trust and be paid to the Issuer on Issuer Request; and the Holder of such
Note shall thereafter, as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer
for payment thereof (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the
Issuer), and all obligations of the Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent with
respect to such trust money shall thereupon cease; provided, however, that the
Indenture Trustee or such Paying Agent, before being required to make any such
repayment, shall at the expense and direction of the Issuer cause to be
published once, in an Authorized Newspaper published in the English language,
notice that such money remains unclaimed and that, after a date specified
therein which shall not be less than 30 days from the date of such publication,
any unclaimed balance of such money then remaining will be repaid to the Issuer.
The Indenture Trustee may also adopt and employ, at the expense and direction of
the Issuer, any other reasonable means of notification of such repayment
(including, but not limited to, mailing notice of such repayment to Holders
whose Notes have been called but have not been surrendered for redemption or
whose right to or interest in monies due and payable but not claimed is
determinable from the records of the Indenture Trustee or of any Paying Agent,
at the last address of record for each such Holder).

                  Section 3.04. EXISTENCE. The Issuer will keep in full effect
its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the
State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or
becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of
America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Indenture, the Notes, the Mortgage Loans and each other
instrument or agreement included in the Trust Estate.

                  (ii)     to the Holders of the Class A Notes an amount equal
         to the Class Principal Payment Amount for such Payment Date;

                  (iii)    to the Note Insurer an amount equal to the sum of (1)
         the accrued and unpaid Premium Amount, (2) an amount sufficient to

                  (iv)     to the Servicer (1) certain Reimbursable Amounts
         (other than Monthly Advances and Servicing Advances) and (2) the amount
         of Nonrecoverable Advances, not previously reimbursed;

                  (v)      to the Spread Account, the remaining Monthly Excess
         Spread Amount until the Base Spread Account Requirement is reached;

                  (vi)     to the Holders of the Class A Notes, the Available
         Funds Cap Rate Carryover Amount (after giving effect to deposits made

under the Note Insurance Policy for such Payment Date pursuant to Section 3.30.
Funds received by the Indenture Trustee as a result of any claim under the Note
Insurance Policy shall be applied solely to payments to Class A Noteholders and
may not be applied to satisfy costs, expenses or liabilities of the Servicer,
the Indenture Trustee or the Trust.

"brokerage firm" or "indirect participating firm") for which it acts as agent.
Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for disbursing funds to the Note Owners

to the Class A Notes, on the second LIBOR Business Day immediately preceding
each Payment Date (referred to in this sentence as the "current Payment Date")
the Indenture Trustee shall determine LIBOR and the Note Interest Rate for such
Class and the Payment Date next succeeding such current Payment Date and inform
the Servicer (at the facsimile number given to the Indenture Trustee in writing)
of such rate.

                  (f)      Reserved.

                  (g)      Any installment of interest or principal, if any,

         principal or interest payable in respect of, the Notes (other than
         amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code) or assert
         any claim against any present or former Noteholder by reason of the

                  Section 3.10. INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNTS.

                  (a)      So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, and consistent with any requirements of the Code, all or a
portion of any Account held by the Indenture Trustee shall be invested and
reinvested by the Indenture Trustee, as directed in writing by the Servicer or
Seller, in one or more Eligible Investments bearing interest or sold at a
discount. If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing or if the
Servicer does not provide investment directions, the Trustee shall invest all
Accounts in the following: Fund 541. No such investment in any Account shall
mature later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next Payment Date
(except that (i) if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the Indenture
Trustee, then such Eligible Investment shall mature not later than such Payment
Date, and (ii) such Eligible Investments may mature on any other date as may be
approved by the Rating Agencies and the Note Insurer).

                  (b)      If any amounts are needed for disbursement from any
Account held by the Indenture Trustee and sufficient uninvested funds are not
available to make such disbursement, the Indenture Trustee at the direction of
the Servicer shall cause to be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient
amount of the investments in such Account. The Indenture Trustee shall not be
liable for any investment loss or other charge resulting therefrom unless the
Indenture Trustee's failure to perform in accordance with this Section 3.10 is
the cause of such loss or charge.

                  (c)      Subject to Section 6.01 hereof, the Indenture Trustee
shall not in any way be held liable by reason of any insufficiency in any
Account held by the Indenture Trustee resulting from any investment loss on any
Eligible Investment included therein (except to the

                                       16
<PAGE>

extent that the Indenture Trustee is the obligor and has defaulted thereon or as
provided in subsection (b) of this Section 3.10).

                  (d)      Reserved.

                  (e)      So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, all net income and gain realized from investment of, and all
earnings on funds deposited in, the Collection Account, the Payment Account, the
Pre-Funding Account and the Capitalized Interest Account shall be for the
benefit of the Servicer as servicing compensation (in addition to the Servicing
Fee), and shall be subject to withdrawal on or before the first Business Day of
the month following the month in which such income or gain is received. The
Servicer shall deposit into the Collection Account, the Payment Account, the
Pre-Funding Account, the Capitalized Interest Account or the Spread Account, as
the case may be, the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any Eligible
Investment held therein which is in excess of the income and gain thereon
immediately upon realization of such loss, without any right to reimbursement
therefor from its own funds. Income or gain from Eligible Investments held in
the Spread Account and, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, from all other Eligible Investments shall be deposited into the
Spread Account and shall be distributed in accordance with the terms of this
Indenture. Amounts on deposit in the Spread Account may be invested at the
Servicer's direction for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note Insurer and
shall mature no later than the Business Day immediately preceding the next
Payment Date.

                  The Indenture Trustee shall have no obligation to invest and
reinvest any cash held in the Accounts in the absence of timely and specific
written investment direction from the Servicer. In no event shall the Trustee be
liable for the selection of investments or for investment losses incurred
thereon. The Indenture Trustee shall have no liability in respect of losses
incurred as a result of the liquidation of any investment prior to its stated
maturity or the failure of the Servicer to provide timely written investment
direction. The Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted to receive
additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Indenture Trustee's
economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser, administrator,
shareholder servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with respect to certain
of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect transactions in
certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in certain
Eligible Investments.

Contract Counterparty upon the occurrence of an event of default or termination
event under the Corridor Contract of which a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge. In the event that the Corridor Contract
is canceled or otherwise terminated for any reason (other than the exhaustion of
the interest rate protection provided thereby), the Indenture Trustee shall, and
to the extent a replacement contract is available (from a counterparty
acceptable to the Issuer and having a long-term rating of at least "A" by S&P),
execute a replacement contract comparable to such Corridor Contract providing
interest rate protection which is equal to the then-existing protection provided
by the Corridor Contract at the expense of the Seller; provided, however, that
the cost of any such replacement contract providing the same interest rate
protection may be reduced to a level

                                       17

benefit of the representations and warranties made by the Seller in (i) the
Purchase Agreement concerning the Seller and the Initial Mortgage Loans and (ii)
any Subsequent Transfer Agreement concerning the Seller and the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans to the same extent as though such representations and warranties
were made directly to the Indenture Trustee. If a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee has actual knowledge of any breach of any representation or
warranty made by the Seller in the Purchase Agreement or in the applicable
Subsequent Transfer Agreement, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the
Seller of such finding and of the Seller's obligation to cure such defect or
repurchase or substitute for the related Mortgage Loan.

                  Section 3.13. AMENDMENTS TO SERVICING AGREEMENT. The Issuer

thereunder (taking into account not only the general definition of the term
"investment company" but also any available exceptions to such general

ESTATE.

                  (a)      With respect to that portion of the Collateral
described in clauses (a) through (d) of the definition of Trust Estate, the
Issuer represents to the Indenture Trustee and to the Note Insurer that:

                                       21

                  (i)      This Indenture creates a valid and continuing
         security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral
         in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to
         all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
         purchasers from the Issuer.

                  (ii)     The Collateral constitutes "deposit accounts" or
         "instruments," as applicable, within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                  (iii)    The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to
         the Collateral, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any
         Person.

                  (iv)     The Issuer has taken all steps necessary to cause the
         Indenture Trustee to become the account holder of the Collateral.

                  (v)      Other than the security interest granted to the
         Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not
         pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
         conveyed any of the Collateral.

                  (vi)     The Collateral is not in the name of any Person other
         than the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee. The Issuer has not consented
         to the bank maintaining the Collateral to comply with instructions of
         any Person other than the Indenture Trustee.

                  (b)      With respect to that portion of the Collateral
described in clause (e), the Issuer represents to the Indenture Trustee that:

                  (i)      This Indenture creates a valid and continuing
         security interest (as defined in the applicable UCC) in the Collateral
         in favor of the Indenture Trustee, which security interest is prior to
         all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against creditors of and
         purchasers from the Issuer.

                  (ii)     The Collateral constitutes "general intangibles"
         within the meaning of the applicable UCC.

                  (iii)    The Issuer owns and has good and marketable title to
         the Collateral, free and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any
         Person.

                  (iv)     Other than the security interest granted to the
         Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture, the Issuer has not
         pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security interest in, or otherwise
         conveyed any of the Collateral.

                  (c)      With respect to any Collateral in which a security
interest may be perfected by filing, the Issuer has not authorized the filing
of, and is not aware of any financing statements against, the Issuer, that
include a description of collateral covering such Collateral, other than any
financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the Indenture
Trustee hereunder or that has been terminated. The Issuer is not aware of any
judgment or tax lien filings against the Issuer.

                                       22
<PAGE>

                  (d)      The Issuer has caused or will have caused, within ten
days, 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 all Collateral granted to the Indenture Trustee
hereunder in which a security interest may be perfected by filing and the Issuer
will cause such security interest to be maintained. Any financing statement that
is filed in connection with this Section 3.28 shall contain a statement that a
purchase or security interest in any collateral described therein will violate
the rights of the secured party named in such financing statement.

                  (e)      The foregoing representations may not be waived and
shall survive the issuance of the Notes.

                  Section 3.29. ESTABLISHMENT OF SPREAD ACCOUNT; DEPOSITS IN
SPREAD ACCOUNT; PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM SPREAD ACCOUNT.

                  (a)      No later than the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee
shall establish and maintain for the benefit of the Noteholders and the Note
Insurer an Eligible Account titled "Spread Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust
Company, as trustee for the registered holders of Home Loan Mortgage Loan Trust
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2004-2." The Spread Account (including any investment
earnings thereon) shall be treated as owned by the Certificateholders. Except as
set forth in clause (c) of this Section 3.29, the Indenture Trustee shall,
promptly upon receipt, deposit into the Spread Account and retain therein:

                  (i)      on each Payment Date, the Monthly Excess Spread
         Amount transferred by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section
         3.05(a)(v); and

                  (ii)     upon receipt, amounts required to be deposited or to
         be paid by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.10(e) in connection with
         losses and gains on investments of amounts in the Spread Account.

                  (b)      Amounts on deposit in the Spread Account shall be
withdrawn on each Payment Date by the Indenture Trustee in the following order
of priority:

                  (i)      to deposit into the Payment Account an amount equal
         to the excess of (x) the sum of the maximum amount to be paid pursuant
         to Section 3.05(a)(i)-(iii) for such Payment Date, over (y) the
         Available Funds for such Payment Date (other than any amounts with
         respect to Insured Amounts and deposits from the Spread Account);

                  (ii)     to the extent that the amount then on deposit in the
         Spread Account exceeds the aggregate Base Spread Account Requirement as
         of such Payment Date (such excess, a "Spread Account Excess"), an
         amount equal to such Spread Account Excess shall be paid to the
         Servicer and/or the Seller to the extent of any Reimbursable Amounts
         not previously reimbursed and the remainder to the Certificateholders;

and also, in no particular order of priority:

                  (iii)    to invest amounts on deposit in the Spread Account in
         Eligible Investments that are scheduled to mature on or prior to the
         Business Day preceding the

                                       23
<PAGE>

         next Payment Date, as directed in writing by the Servicer in accordance
         with Section 3.10(e);

                  (iv)     to withdraw any amount not required to be deposited
         in the Spread Account or deposited therein in error;

                  (v)      [reserved]; and

                  (vi)     to clear and terminate the Spread Account upon the
         termination of this Indenture and, upon such termination, to pay the
         balance, if any, to the Certificateholders.

                  (c)      On the Payment Date on which all amounts due have
been paid to the Class A Noteholders, including the Note Insurer as subrogee of
the Class A Noteholders, and all I & I Payments have been paid to the Note
Insurer, the Indenture Trustee, after making any required withdrawals from the
Spread Account pursuant to the preceding paragraph, shall:

                  (i)      clear and terminate the Spread Account, liquidate any
         investments therein and pay any uninvested funds therein or the
         proceeds of such liquidation to the Servicer and/or the Seller to the
         extent of any Reimbursable Amounts, and the remainder to the
         Certificateholders; and

                  (ii)     pay future receipts of the Excess Spread to the
         Servicer and/or the Seller to the extent of any Reimbursable Amounts,
         and the remainder to the Certificateholders.

                  (d)      The Spread Account may be terminated and other assets
substituted therefor including mortgage loans similar to the Mortgage Loans, at
any time, with the prior written approval of the Note Insurer and the Rating
Agencies, and with written confirmation that such termination and substitution
will not result in a downgrade of the current ratings of the Class A Notes
without giving effect to the Note Insurance Policy.

                  Section 3.30. NOTE INSURANCE POLICY.

                  (a)      As soon as possible, and in no event later than 12:00
noon New York time on the second Business Day immediately preceding the Payment
Date, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Note Insurer and the Servicer with
a completed notice in the form set forth as Exhibit A to the Endorsement to the
Note Insurance Policy (the "Notice") in the event that the Available Funds
(other than any amounts in respect of Insured Amounts) are insufficient to pay
the Remittance Amount with respect to the Class A Noteholders, as applicable, on
such Payment Date. The Notice shall specify the amount of Insured Amounts and
shall constitute a claim for an Insured Amount pursuant to the Note Insurance
Policy. Upon receipt of Insured Amounts on behalf of the Class A Noteholders
under the Note Insurance Policy, the Indenture Trustee shall deposit such
Insured Amounts in the Payment Account and shall pay such Insured Amounts
pursuant to Section 3.05.

                  (b)      The Indenture Trustee shall receive, as
attorney-in-fact of each Holder of a Class A Note, any Insured Amount from the
Note Insurer and disburse the same to each Holder of a Class A Note in
accordance with the provisions of Section 3.05. Insured Amounts disbursed by the
Indenture Trustee from proceeds of the Note Insurance Policy shall not be
considered

                                       24
<PAGE>

payment by the Trust nor shall such payments discharge the obligation of the
Trust with respect to the Class A Notes, and the Class A Note Principal Balance
shall be deemed not reduced for such purposes and the Note Insurer shall become
the owner of such unpaid amounts due from the Trust in respect of the Class A
Notes. The Indenture Trustee hereby agrees on behalf of each Holder of a Class A
Note for the benefit of the Note Insurer that it recognizes that to the extent
the Note Insurer pays Insured Amounts, either directly or indirectly (as by
paying through the Indenture Trustee), to the Class A Noteholders, the Note
Insurer will be subrogated to the rights of such Class A Noteholders, with
respect to such Insured Amounts, shall be deemed to the extent of the payments
so made to be a registered Class A Noteholder for purposes of payment and shall
receive all future Remittance Amounts until all such Insured Amounts by the Note
Insurer have been fully reimbursed, subject to the following paragraph. To
evidence such subrogation, the Indenture Trustee shall note the Note Insurer's
rights as subrogee on the registration books maintained by the Indenture Trustee
and on any Class A Notes surrendered for payment upon receipt from the Note
Insurer of proof of payment of any Insured Amount. Except as otherwise described
herein, the Note Insurer shall not acquire any voting rights hereunder as a
result of such subrogation. The effect of the foregoing provisions is that, to
the extent of Insured Amounts paid by it, the Note Insurer shall be paid before
payment of the balance of the Remittance Amount is made to the other Holders of
the Class A Notes subject to the following paragraph.

                  (c)      It is understood and agreed that the intention of the
parties is that the Note Insurer shall not be entitled to reimbursement on any
Payment Date for amounts previously paid by it, unless, on such Payment Date,
the Class A Noteholders shall also have received the full amount of the
Remittance Amount (exclusive of amounts representing amounts previously paid to
the Class A Noteholders as Insured Amounts) for such Payment Date.

                  (d)      The Indenture Trustee shall keep complete and
accurate records of the amount of Insured Amounts and the Note Insurer shall
have the right to inspect such records at reasonable times during the Indenture
Trustee's normal business hours upon one Business Day's prior notice to the
Indenture Trustee.

                  (e)      The Indenture Trustee shall promptly notify the Note
Insurer of any proceeding or the institution of any action seeking the avoidance
as a preferential transfer under applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership
or similar law (a "Preference Claim") of any payment made with respect to the
Class A Notes. Each Holder, by its purchase of Class A Notes, and the Indenture
Trustee hereby agree that, the Note Insurer (so long as no Note 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 any Preference Claim, and (ii) the posting of any surety,
supersedeus or performance bond pending any such appeal. In addition, and
without limitation of the foregoing, the Note Insurer shall be subrogated to the
rights of the Indenture Trustee and each such Holder in the conduct of any such
Preference Claim, including, without limitation, all rights of any party to an
adversary proceeding action with respect to any order issued in connection with
any such Preference Claim. Insured Amounts paid by the Note Insurer to the
Indenture Trustee shall be received by the Indenture Trustee, as agent of the
Noteholders. The Indenture Trustee is not permitted to make a claim on the Trust
or on any Noteholder for payments made to Noteholders under the Note Insurance
Policy which are characterized as

                                       25
<PAGE>

preference payments by any Bankruptcy Court having jurisdiction over any
bankrupt Mortgagor unless ordered to do so by such Bankruptcy Court.

IN PRE-FUNDING ACCOUNT; PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM PRE-FUNDING Account.

                  (a)      On the Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall

the Class A Notes and the Note Insurer, an Eligible Account titled "Pre-Funding
Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in trust for registered Holders of
Home Loan Mortgage Loan Trust Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2004-2, Class A." Funds
in the Pre-Funding Account shall be held in trust for the Holders of the Class A
Notes and the Note Insurer for the uses and purposes set forth in this
Indenture. Funds in the Pre-Funding Account shall be held separate and apart
from, and shall not be commingled with, any other moneys, including without
limitation, other moneys held by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this
Indenture. Any Pre-Funding Earnings shall be distributed to the Seller on each
Pre-Funding Payment Date; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that if the final Subsequent
Transfer Date occurs after the Payment Date in a month, on such Subsequent
Transfer Date, the Indenture Trustee shall (i) transfer the Excess Funding
Amount from the Pre-Funding Account to the Payment Account, (ii) transfer the
Pre-Funding Earnings to the Seller and (iii) close the Pre-Funding Account. The
amount on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account shall be invested in Eligible
Investments at the direction of the Seller in accordance with the provisions of
Section 3.10. All investment earnings on funds on deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account shall be treated as owned by, and shall be taxable to, the Seller.

                  (b)      On the Closing Date, the Issuer shall cause to be
deposited the Original Pre-Funded Amount in the Pre-Funding Account from the
sale of the Notes.

                  (c)      On each Subsequent Transfer Date, (i) the Seller
shall instruct the Indenture Trustee to withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an
amount equal to 100% of the Aggregate Principal Balances of the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans sold to the Trust on such Subsequent Transfer Date and (ii) the
Indenture Trustee shall pay such amounts to the Issuer, or upon the order of the
Issuer, to its designee with respect to such transfer.

                  (d)      If at the end of the Funding Period amounts still
remain in the Pre-Funding Account, the Issuer shall instruct the Indenture
Trustee to withdraw such amounts from the Pre-Funding Account on the immediately
following Payment Date and deposit such amounts in the Payment Account.

                  (e)      Unless sooner closed as provided above, the
Pre-Funding Account shall be closed at the close of business on the Payment Date
immediately following the end of the Funding Period.

                  Section 3.32. ESTABLISHMENT OF CAPITALIZED INTEREST ACCOUNT;
DEPOSITS IN CAPITALIZED INTEREST ACCOUNT AND PERMITTED WITHDRAWALS FROM
CAPITALIZED INTEREST ACCOUNT.

                  (a)      With respect to amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account, in order to assure that sufficient amounts to make required payments of
interest to the Noteholders shall be available during the Funding Period, on the
Closing Date, the Indenture Trustee shall establish

                                       26
<PAGE>

and maintain in its name, in trust for the benefit of the Holders of the Class A
Notes and the Note Insurer, an Eligible Account titled "Capitalized Interest
Account, Deutsche Bank National Trust Company in trust for registered Holders of
Financial Asset Securities Corp., Home Loan Mortgage Loan Trust Asset-Backed
Notes, Series 2004-2, Class A." Funds in the Capitalized Interest Account shall
be held in trust for the Holders of the Class A Notes and the Note Insurer for
the uses and purposes set forth in this Indenture. Funds in the Capitalized
Interest Account shall be held separate and apart from, and shall not be
commingled with, any other moneys, including without limitation, other moneys
held by the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Indenture. Funds in the
Capitalized Interest Account shall be invested in Eligible Investments at the
direction of the Servicer in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10. All
investment earnings on funds in the Capitalized Interest Account shall be paid
to the Issuer or its designee on each Pre-Funding Payment Date.

                  (b)      On the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause to be
deposited the Capitalized Interest Deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account.

                  (c)      On each of the Payment Dates during the Funding
Period, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Capitalized Interest
Account the Capitalized Interest Required Amount for such Payment Date and
deposit such amount into the Payment Account.

                  (d)      If at the end of the Funding Period amounts still
remain in the Capitalized Interest Account, the Issuer hereby instructs the
Indenture Trustee to withdraw such amounts from the Capitalized Interest Account
on the immediately following Payment Date and remit such amounts to the Servicer
or its designee. Upon any such payment to the Servicer or its designee, the
Noteholders shall have no further rights in, or claims to, such amounts.

                  (e)      Unless sooner closed as provided above, the
Capitalized Interest Account shall be closed at the close of business on the
Payment Date immediately following the end of the Funding Period.

CLASS A NOTEHOLDERS.

                  By accepting its Note, each Class A Noteholder agrees that

and shall have the right to exercise all rights of the Class A Noteholders under

Default exists, the rights specifically enumerated above may be exercised by the
Noteholders only with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer.

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Indenture Trustee shall not be bound, obligated or required to take any action
at the request or direction of any of the Noteholder or the Note Insurer
pursuant to this Indenture if such Noteholders or the Note Insurer shall not

restrictions on the Noteholders.

                  The Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that it shall
service the Mortgage Loans for the benefit of the Noteholders and for the

approval of the Note Insurer, (c) provide that a particular act or thing must be
acceptable to the Note Insurer, (d) permit the Note Insurer to direct (or
otherwise to require) the actions of the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the
Noteholders, (e) provide that any action or omission taken with the consent,
approval or authorization of the Note Insurer shall be authorized hereunder or
shall not subject the party taking or omitting to take such action to any
liability hereunder, or (f) which have a similar effect, shall be of no further
force and effect and the Indenture Trustee shall administer the Trust and
perform its obligations hereunder solely for the benefit of the Holders of the
Notes. Nothing in the foregoing sentence, nor any action taken pursuant thereto
or in compliance therewith, shall be deemed to have released the Note Insurer
from any obligation or liability it may have to any party or to the Noteholders
hereunder, under any other agreement, instrument or document (including, without
limitation, the Note Insurance Policy) or under applicable law.

               THE NOTES; SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE

                  Section 4.01. THE NOTES. Each Class of Notes shall be
registered in the name of a nominee designated by the Depository. Beneficial
Owners will hold interests in the Notes through the book-entry facilities of the
Depository in minimum initial Class A Note Principal Balance of $25,000 and
integral multiples of $1 in excess thereof.

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

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

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

                  Section 4.02. REGISTRATION OF AND LIMITATIONS ON TRANSFER AND
EXCHANGE OF NOTES; APPOINTMENT OF NOTE REGISTRAR AND CERTIFICATE.

                  The Indenture Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate
Trust Office a Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable regulations as
it may prescribe, the Note Registrar shall provide for the registration of Notes
and of transfers and exchanges of Notes as herein provided.

                  Subject to the restrictions and limitations set forth below,
upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Note at the Corporate Trust
Office, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and the Note
Registrar shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the

                                       30
<PAGE>

designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Notes in authorized
initial Class A Note Principal Balance evidencing the same Class and aggregate
Percentage Interests.

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

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

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

                  Section 4.03. MUTILATED, DESTROYED, LOST OR STOLEN NOTES. If
(i) any mutilated Note is surrendered to the Indenture Trustee, or the Indenture
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Note, and (ii) there is delivered to the Indenture Trustee such security
or indemnity as may be required by it to hold the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee harmless, then, in the absence of notice to the Issuer, the Note
Registrar or the Indenture Trustee that such Note has been acquired by a bona
fide purchaser, and provided that the requirements of Section 8-405 of the UCC
are met, the Issuer shall execute, and upon its request the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note, a replacement Note; provided,
however, that if any such destroyed, lost or stolen Note, but not a mutilated
Note, shall have become or within seven days shall be due and payable, instead
of issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note when so due or payable without surrender thereof. If, after the delivery of
such replacement Note or payment of a destroyed, lost or stolen Note pursuant to
the proviso to the preceding sentence, a bona fide purchaser of the original
Note in lieu of which such replacement Note was issued presents for payment such
original Note, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to recover
such replacement Note (or such payment) from the Person to whom it was delivered
or any Person taking such replacement Note from such Person to whom such
replacement Note was delivered or any assignee of such Person, except a bona

                                       31
<PAGE>

fide purchaser, and shall be entitled to recover upon the security or indemnity
provided therefor to the extent of any loss, damage, cost or expense incurred by
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee in connection therewith.

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

                  Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 4.03 in
replacement of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall constitute an
original additional contractual obligation of the Issuer, whether or not the
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Note shall be at any time enforceable by
anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits of this Indenture equally and
proportionately with any and all other Notes duly issued hereunder.

                  The provisions of this Section 4.03 are exclusive and shall
preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to
the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes.

                  Section 4.04. PERSONS DEEMED OWNERS. Prior to due presentment
for registration of transfer of any Note, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the
Person in whose name any Note is registered (as of the day of determination) as
the owner of such Note for the purpose of receiving payments of principal of and
interest, if any, on such Note and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or
not such Note be overdue, and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Paying Agent nor any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

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

                  Section 4.06. BOOK-ENTRY NOTES. The Notes, upon original
issuance, will be issued in the form of typewritten Notes representing the
Book-Entry Notes, to be delivered to The Depository Trust Company, the initial
Depository, by, or on behalf of, the Issuer. The Notes shall initially be
registered on the Note Register in the name of Cede & Co., the nominee of the
initial Depository, and no Beneficial Owner will receive a Definitive Note
representing such Beneficial Owner's interest in such Note, except as provided
in Section 4.08. With respect to

                                       32
<PAGE>

such Notes, unless and until definitive, fully registered Notes (the "Definitive
Notes") have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:

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

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

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

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

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

                  Section 4.07. NOTICES TO DEPOSITORY. Whenever a notice or
other communication to the Note Holders is required under this Indenture, unless
and until Definitive Notes shall have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant
to Section 4.08, the Indenture Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications specified herein to be given to Holders of the Notes to the
Depository, and shall have no obligation to the Beneficial Owners.

                  Section 4.08. DEFINITIVE NOTES. If (i) the Indenture Trustee
determines that the Depository is no longer willing or able to properly
discharge its responsibilities with respect to the Notes and the Indenture
Trustee or the Depositor is unable to locate a qualified successor or (ii) after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Beneficial Owners of Notes representing
beneficial interests aggregating at least a majority of the Class A Note
Principal Balance of the Class A Notes advise the Depository in writing that the
continuation of a book-entry system through the Depository is no longer in the
best interests of the Beneficial Owners, then the Depository shall notify all
Beneficial Owners, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of the occurrence of any
such event and of the availability of Definitive Notes to Beneficial Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of the typewritten
Notes representing the Book-Entry Notes by the Depository, accompanied by
registration instructions, the Issuer shall execute and the Indenture Trustee
shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in

                                       33
<PAGE>

accordance with the instructions of the Depository. None of the Issuer, the Note
Registrar or the Indenture Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of
such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in
relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Notes, the
Indenture Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive Notes as
Noteholders.

                  Section 4.09. TAX TREATMENT. The Issuer has entered into this
Indenture, and the Notes will be issued with the intention that, for federal,
state and local income, single business and franchise tax purposes, the Notes
will qualify as indebtedness. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee (in
accordance with Section 6.06 hereof), by entering into this Indenture, and each
Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Note (and each Beneficial Owner by its
acceptance of an interest in the applicable Book-Entry Note), agree to treat the
Notes for federal, state and local income, single business and franchise tax
purposes as indebtedness.

                  Section 4.10. SATISFACTION AND DISCHARGE OF INDENTURE. This
Indenture shall cease to be of further effect with respect to the Notes except
as to (i) rights of Noteholders to receive payments of principal thereof and
interest thereon, (ii) Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.09, 3.17, 3.19 and 3.20,
(iii) the rights and immunities of the Indenture Trustee hereunder (including
the rights of the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07) and the obligations of
the Indenture Trustee under Section 4.11 and (iv) the rights of Noteholders as
beneficiaries hereof with respect to the property so deposited with the
Indenture Trustee payable to all or any of them, and the Indenture Trustee, on
demand of and at the expense of the Issuer, shall execute proper instruments
acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture with respect to the
Notes and shall release and deliver the Collateral to or upon the order of the
Issuer, when

                  (A)      either

                  (1)      all Notes theretofore authenticated and delivered
         (other than (i) Notes that have been destroyed, lost or stolen and that
         have been replaced or paid as provided in Section 4.03 hereof and (ii)
         Notes for whose payment money has theretofore been deposited in trust
         or segregated and held in trust by the Issuer and thereafter repaid to
         the Issuer or discharged from such trust, as provided in Section 3.03)
         have been delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation; or

                  (2)      all Notes not theretofore delivered to the Indenture
         Trustee for cancellation (a) have become due and payable, (b) will
         become due and payable at the Latest Possible Maturity Date within one
         year, or (c) have been called for early redemption pursuant to Section
         8.07 hereof, and the Issuer, in the case of (a) or (b) above, has
         irrevocably deposited or caused to be irrevocably deposited with the
         Indenture Trustee cash or direct obligations of or obligations
         guaranteed by the United States of America (which will mature prior to
         the date such amounts are payable), in trust for such purpose, in an
         amount sufficient to pay and discharge the entire indebtedness on such
         Notes then outstanding not theretofore delivered to the Indenture
         Trustee for cancellation when due on the Latest Possible Maturity Date
         or other final Payment Date, or, in the case of (c) above, the Issuer
         shall have complied with all requirements of Section 8.07 hereof,

                                       34
<PAGE>

                  (B)      the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other
         sums payable hereunder; and

                  (C)      the Issuer has delivered to the Indenture Trustee an
         Officer's Certificate stating that the Purchase Price has been
         deposited in the Collection Account and an Opinion of Counsel stating
         that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to the
         satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture have been complied with
         and, if the Opinion of Counsel relates to a deposit made in connection
         with Section 4.10(A)(2)(b) above, such opinion shall further be to the
         effect that such deposit will constitute an "in-substance defeasance"
         within the meaning of Revenue Ruling 85-42, 1985-1 C.B. 36, and in
         accordance therewith, the Issuer will be the owner of the assets
         deposited in trust for federal income tax purposes.

                  Section 4.11. APPLICATION OF TRUST MONEY. All monies deposited
with the Indenture Trustee pursuant to Section 4.10 hereof shall be held in
trust and applied by it, in accordance with the provisions of the Notes and this
Indenture, to the payment, either directly or through any Paying Agent,
Certificate Paying Agent as designee of the Issuer, to the Holders of Notes or
Certificates, of all sums due and to become due thereon for principal and
interest or otherwise; but such monies need not be segregated from other funds
except to the extent required herein or required by law.

                  Section 4.12. RESERVED.

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

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

                  If temporary Notes are issued, the Issuer will cause
Definitive Notes to be prepared without unreasonable delay. After the
preparation of the Definitive Notes, the temporary Notes shall be exchangeable
for Definitive Notes upon surrender of the temporary Notes at the office of the
Indenture Trustee located at c/o DTC Transfer Services, 55 Water Street,
Jeanette Park Entrance, New York, New York 10041, without charge to the Holder.
Upon surrender for cancellation of any one or more temporary Notes, the Issuer
shall execute and the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate and make available
for delivery, in exchange therefor, Definitive Notes of authorized denominations
and of like tenor, class and aggregate

                                       35
<PAGE>

principal amount. Until so exchanged, such temporary Notes shall in all respects
be entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture as Definitive Notes.

                  Section 4.15. REPRESENTATION REGARDING ERISA. By acquiring a
Note or interest therein, each Holder of such Note or Beneficial Owner of any
such interest will be deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring
the Note with Plan Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of
such Note will not give rise to a non-exempt prohibited transaction under
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and (B) the Notes are rated
investment grade or better and such person believes that the Notes are properly
treated as indebtedness without substantial equity features for purposes of the
Department of Labor regulation 29 C.F.R. ss. 2510.3-101, and agrees to so treat
the Notes. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of the Notes, such person may
provide the Indenture Trustee with an opinion of counsel, which opinion of
counsel will not be at the expense of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the
Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer
or any successor servicer which opines that the acquisition, holding and
transfer of such Note or interest therein is permissible under applicable law,
will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA
or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, the Seller, the Depositor, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee,
the Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in addition to those
undertaken in the Indenture.

                              DEFAULT AND REMEDIES

                  Section 5.01. EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The Issuer shall deliver to
the Indenture Trustee and the Note Insurer, written notice in the form of an
Officer's Certificate, within five days after learning of the occurrence of any
event which with the giving of notice and the lapse of time would become an
Event of Default under clause (iii), (iv) or (v) of the definition of "Event of
Default," its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take
with respect thereto. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of any Event of Default unless a Responsible Officer has actual
knowledge thereof or unless written notice of such Event of Default is received
by a Responsible Officer and such notice references the Notes, the Trust Estate
or this Indenture.

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

                  At any time after such declaration of acceleration of maturity
with respect to an Event of Default has been made and before a judgment or
decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the Indenture Trustee
as hereinafter in this Article V provided, the Note Insurer or the Holders of
the Notes representing not less than a majority of the Class A Note Principal
Balance of the Notes, by written notice to the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee,
may waive the related Event of Default and rescind and annul such declaration
and its consequences if:

                  (i)      the Issuer has paid or deposited with the Indenture
         Trustee a sum sufficient to pay (a) all payments of principal of and
         interest on the Notes and all other amounts that would then be due
         hereunder or upon the Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
         acceleration had not occurred; and (b) all sums paid or advanced by the
         Indenture Trustee hereunder and the reasonable compensation, expenses,
         disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and
         counsel; and

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

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

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

                  (a)      The Issuer covenants that if (i) default is made in
the payment of any interest on any Note when the same becomes due and payable,
and such default continues for a period of five days, or (ii) default is made in
the payment of the principal of or any installment of the principal of any Note
when the same becomes due and payable, the Issuer shall, upon demand of the
Indenture Trustee, at the direction of the Note Insurer or the Holders of a
majority of the Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes, pay to the
Indenture Trustee, for the benefit of the Holders of Notes, the whole amount
then due and payable on the Notes for principal and interest, with interest at
the applicable Note Rate upon the overdue principal, and in addition thereto
such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of
collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel.

                  (b)      In case the Issuer shall fail forthwith to pay such
amounts upon such demand, the Indenture Trustee, in its own name and as trustee
of an express trust, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may
institute a Proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may
prosecute such Proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same
against the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes and collect in the manner
provided by law out of the property of the Issuer or other obligor the Notes,
wherever situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

                  (c)      If an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the
Indenture Trustee, subject to the provisions of Section 10.16 hereof may, as
more particularly provided in Section 5.04 hereof, in its discretion, proceed to
protect and enforce its rights and the rights of the Noteholders, by such
appropriate Proceedings, as directed in writing by the Note Insurer or by
Holders of a majority of the Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes, to
protect and enforce any such rights, whether for the specific enforcement of any
covenant or agreement in this Indenture or in aid of the exercise of any power
granted herein, or to enforce any other proper remedy or legal or equitable
right vested in the Indenture Trustee by this Indenture or by law.

                  (d)      In case there shall be pending, relative to the
Issuer or any other obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an
ownership interest in the Trust Estate, Proceedings under Title 11 of the United
States Code or any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law, or in case a receiver, assignee or trustee in bankruptcy or
reorganization, liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor or Person, or in case of any other comparable judicial Proceedings
relative to the Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes, or to the creditors or
property of the Issuer or such other obligor, the Indenture Trustee, as directed
in writing by the Note Insurer or by Holders of a majority of the Class A Note
Principal Balance of the Notes, irrespective of whether the principal of any
Notes shall then be due and payable as therein expressed or by declaration or
otherwise and irrespective of whether the Indenture Trustee shall have made any
demand pursuant to the provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and
empowered, by intervention in such Proceedings or otherwise:

         amount of principal and interest owing and unpaid in respect of the
         Notes and to file such other papers or documents as may be necessary or
         advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee
         (including any claim for reasonable compensation of the Indenture
         Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, and their respective
         agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses
         and liabilities incurred, and all advances made, by the Indenture
         Trustee and each predecessor Indenture Trustee, except as a result of
         its negligence or bad faith) and of the Noteholders allowed in such
         Proceedings;

                  (ii)     unless prohibited by applicable law and regulations,
         to vote on behalf of the Holders of Notes in any election of a trustee,
         a standby trustee or Person performing similar functions in any such
         Proceedings;

                  (iii)    to collect and receive any monies or other property
         payable or deliverable on any such claims and to pay all amounts
         received with respect to the claims of the Noteholders and of the
         Indenture Trustee on their behalf, and

                  (iv)     to file such proofs of claim and other papers or
         documents as may be necessary or advisable in order to have the claims
         of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any
         judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer, its creditors and its
         property; and any trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other
         similar official in any such Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of
         such Noteholders to make payments to the Indenture Trustee.

                  (e)      Nothing herein contained shall be deemed to authorize
the Indenture Trustee to authorize or consent to or vote for or accept or adopt
on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of reorganization, arrangement, adjustment
or composition affecting the Notes or the rights of any Holder thereof or to
authorize the Indenture Trustee to vote in respect of the claim of any
Noteholder in any such proceeding except, as aforesaid, to vote for the election
of a trustee in bankruptcy or similar Person.

                  (f)      All rights of action and of asserting claims under
this Indenture, or under any of the Notes, may be enforced by the Indenture
Trustee without the possession of any of the Notes or the production thereof in
any trial or other Proceedings relative thereto, and any such action or
proceedings instituted by the Indenture Trustee shall be brought in its own name
as trustee of an express trust, and any recovery of judgment, subject to the
payment of the expenses, disbursements and compensation of the Indenture
Trustee, each predecessor Indenture Trustee and their respective agents and
attorneys, shall be for the ratable benefit of the Holders of the Notes, subject
to Section 5.05 hereof.

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

                  Section 5.04. REMEDIES; PRIORITIES.

                  (a)      If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and if an acceleration has been declared and not rescinded pursuant
to Section 5.02 hereof, the Indenture Trustee subject to the provisions of
Section 10.16 hereof may, and shall, at the written direction of the Note
Insurer or the Holders of a majority of the Class A Note Principal Balance of
the Notes, do one or more of the following (subject to Section 5.05 hereof):

                  (i)      institute Proceedings in its own name and as trustee
         of an express trust for the collection of all amounts then payable on
         the Notes or under this Indenture with respect thereto, whether by
         declaration or otherwise enforce any judgment obtained, and collect
         from the Issuer and any other obligor upon such Notes monies adjudged
         due;

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

                  (iii)    exercise any remedies of a secured party under the
         UCC and take any other appropriate action to protect and enforce the
         rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer and the
         Holders of the Notes; and

                  (iv)     sell the Trust Estate or any portion thereof or
         rights or interest therein, at one or more public or private sales
         called and conducted in any manner permitted by law; provided, however,
         that the Indenture Trustee may not sell or otherwise liquidate the
         Trust Estate following an Event of Default, unless (A) the Indenture
         Trustee obtains the consent of the Note Insurer and the Holders of 100%
         of the Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes, (B) the proceeds of
         such sale or liquidation payable to the Holders of the Notes are
         sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid upon
         such Notes for principal and interest or (C) the Indenture Trustee
         determines that the Mortgage Loans will not continue to provide
         sufficient funds for the payment of principal of and interest on the
         applicable Notes as they would have become due if the Notes had not
         been declared due and payable, and the Indenture Trustee obtains the
         consent of the Note Insurer and the Holders of a majority of the Class
         A Note Principal Balance of the Notes. In determining such sufficiency
         or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C), the Indenture
         Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon written advice or an
         opinion (obtained at the expense of the Trust) of an Independent
         investment banking or accounting firm of national reputation as to the
         feasibility of such proposed action and as to the sufficiency of the
         Trust Estate for such purpose. Notwithstanding the foregoing, so long
         as an Event of Default under the Servicing Agreement has not occurred,
         any sale of the Trust Estate shall be made subject to the continued
         servicing of the Mortgage Loans by the Servicer as provided in the
         Servicing Agreement.

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

                  (i)      (A) to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due pursuant
         to Section 6.07 hereof and any expenses incurred in connection with and
         related to collection of the Notes and enforecement of remedies
         including, without limitation, expenses incurred in

                                       40
<PAGE>

         connection with a servicer transfer and (B) to the Owner Trustee for
         amounts due pursuant to Article VII of the Trust Agreement;

                  (ii)     to the Noteholders the Interest Payment Amount due
         and payable;

                  (iii)    to the Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid on the
         Class A Notes with respect to principal, according to the amounts due
         and payable on such Notes for principal, until the Class A Note
         Principal Balance is reduced to zero;

                  (iv)     to the Note Insurer any unpaid premium for the Note
         Insurance Policy and any other amounts owed to the Note Insurer under
         the Insurance Agreement; and

                  (v)      to the payment of the remainder, if any to the
         Certificate Paying Agent on behalf of the Issuer or to any other person
         legally entitled thereto.

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

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

                  Section 5.06. LIMITATION OF SUITS. No Holder of any Note shall
have any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect
to this Indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any
other remedy hereunder, unless and subject to the provisions of Section 10.16
hereof

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

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

                  (iii)    such Holder or Holders have offered to the Indenture
         Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs,
         expenses and liabilities to be incurred in complying with such request;

                                       41
<PAGE>

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

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

                  It is understood and intended that no one or more Holders of
Notes shall have any right in any manner whatever by virtue of, or by availing
of, any provision of this Indenture to affect, disturb or prejudice the rights
of any other Holders of Notes or to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or
preference over any other Holders or to enforce any right under this Indenture,
except in the manner herein provided.

                  Section 5.07. UNCONDITIONAL RIGHTS OF NOTEHOLDERS TO RECEIVE
PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST.

                  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the
Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional, to
receive payment of the principal of and interest, if any, on such Note on or
after the respective due dates thereof expressed in such Note or in this
Indenture and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and
such right shall not be impaired without the consent of such Holder.

                  Section 5.08. RESTORATION OF RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If the
Indenture Trustee or any Noteholder has instituted any Proceeding to enforce any
right or remedy under this Indenture and such Proceeding has been discontinued
or abandoned for any reason or has been determined adversely to the Indenture
Trustee or to such Noteholder, then and in every such case the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders shall, subject to any determination in
such Proceeding, be restored severally and respectively to their former
positions hereunder, and thereafter all rights and remedies of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders shall continue as though no such Proceeding had been
instituted.

                  Section 5.09. RIGHTS AND REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. No right or
remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Indenture Trustee, the Note
Insurer or to the Noteholders is intended to be exclusive of any other right or
remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be
cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the
concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy.

                  Section 5.10. DELAY OR OMISSION NOT A WAIVER. No delay or
omission of the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or any Holder of any Note to
exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Event of Default shall impair any
such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Event of Default or an
acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Article V or by law
to the Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or to the Noteholders may be
exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the
Indenture Trustee, the Note Insurer or by the Noteholders, as the case may be.

                                       42
<PAGE>

                  Section 5.11. CONTROL BY NOTEHOLDERS. The Note Insurer or the
Holders of a majority of the Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes shall
have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any Proceeding
for any remedy available to the Indenture Trustee with respect to the Notes or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Indenture Trustee; provided that:

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

                  (ii)     any direction to the Indenture Trustee to sell or
         liquidate the Trust Estate shall be by Holders of Notes representing
         not less than 100% of the Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes;

                  (iii)    the Indenture Trustee has been provided with
         indemnity satisfactory to it; and

                  (iv)     the Indenture Trustee may take any other action
         deemed proper by the Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with
         such direction of the Note Insurer or the Holders of Notes representing
         a majority of the Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes.

                  Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this
Section 5.11 the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that it determines
might involve it in liability.

                  Section 5.12. WAIVER OF PAST DEFAULTS. Prior to the
declaration of the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes as provided in
Section 5.02 hereof, the Note Insurer or the Holders of Notes representing not
less than a majority of the Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes may
waive any past Event of Default and its consequences except an Event of Default
(a) with respect to payment of principal of or interest on any of the Notes or
(b) in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of the Holder of each Note. In the case of any such
waiver, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Holders of the Notes shall be
restored to their former positions and rights hereunder, respectively, but no
such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Default or impair
any right consequent thereto.

                  Upon any such waiver, any Event of Default arising therefrom
shall be deemed to have been cured and not to have occurred, for every purpose
of this Indenture; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other
Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

                  Section 5.13. UNDERTAKING FOR COSTS. All parties to this
Indenture agree, and each Holder of any Note and each Beneficial Owner of any
interest therein by such Holder's or Beneficial Owner's acceptance thereof shall
be deemed to have agreed, that any court may in its discretion require, in any
suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or in any
suit against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken, suffered or omitted by
it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant in such suit of an
undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its
discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees,
against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits

                                       43
<PAGE>

and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant; but the
provisions of this Section 5.13 shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted by
the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group of
Noteholders, in each case holding in the aggregate more than 10% of the Class A
Note Principal Balance of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by any Noteholder
for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on or
after the respective due dates expressed in such Note and in this Indenture.

                  Section 5.14. WAIVER OF STAY OR EXTENSION LAWS. The Issuer
covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any
time insist upon, or plead or in any manner whatsoever, claim or take the
benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at
any time hereafter in force, that may affect the covenants or the performance of
this Indenture; and the Issuer (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
shall not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted to
the Indenture Trustee, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such
power as though no such law had been enacted.

                  Section 5.15. SALE OF TRUST ESTATE.

                  (a)      The power to effect any sale or other disposition (a
"Sale") of any portion of the Trust Estate pursuant to Section 5.04 hereof is
expressly subject to the provisions of Section 5.05 hereof and this Section
5.15. The power to effect any such Sale shall not be exhausted by any one or
more Sales as to any portion of the Trust Estate remaining unsold, but shall
continue unimpaired until the entire Trust Estate shall have been sold or all
amounts payable on the Notes and under this Indenture shall have been paid. The
Indenture Trustee may from time to time postpone any public Sale by public
announcement made at the time and place of such Sale. The Indenture Trustee
hereby expressly waives its right to any amount fixed by law as compensation for
any Sale.

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

                  (i)      the Note Insurer and the Holders of all Notes consent
         to or direct the Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale, or

                  (ii)     the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the
         entire amount which would be payable to the Noteholders under the
         Notes, in full payment thereof in accordance with Section 5.02 hereof,
         on the Payment Date next succeeding the date of such Sale, or

                  (iii)    the Indenture Trustee determines that the conditions
         for retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05 hereof
         cannot be satisfied (in making any determination under this Section
         5.15, the Indenture Trustee may rely upon written advice or an opinion
         of an Independent investment banking firm obtained and delivered as
         provided in Section 5.05 hereof), and the Note Insurer and the Holders
         of Notes representing at least 100% of the Class A Note Principal
         Balance of the Notes consent to such Sale.

                                       44
<PAGE>

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

                  (c)      [Reserved].

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

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

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

                  (iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall execute and deliver an
         appropriate instrument of conveyance, prepared by the Issuer and
         satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, transferring its interest in any
         portion of the Trust Estate in connection with a Sale thereof;

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

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

                  Section 5.16. ACTION ON NOTES. The Indenture Trustee's right
to seek and recover judgment on the Notes or under this Indenture shall not be
affected by the seeking, obtaining or application of any other relief under or
with respect to this Indenture. Neither the lien of this Indenture nor any
rights or remedies of the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders shall

                                       45

be impaired by the recovery of any judgment by the Indenture Trustee against the
Issuer or by the levy of any execution under such judgment upon any portion of
the Trust Estate or upon any of the assets of the Issuer. Any money or property
collected by the Indenture Trustee shall be applied in accordance with Section

OBLIGATIONS.

                  (a)      Promptly following a request from the Indenture

of the Issuer against the Seller or the Servicer under or in connection with the

suspended.

                              THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

                  Section 6.01. DUTIES OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  (ii)     the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
         error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer unless it
         is proved that the Indenture Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the
         pertinent facts; and

                  (iii)    the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with
         respect to any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in
         accordance with a direction received by it from Noteholders, the
         Servicer or from the Issuer, which they are entitled to give under the
         Basic Documents.

                  (d)      The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for
interest on any money received by it.

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

                                       47
<PAGE>

                  (f)      No provision of this Indenture shall require the
Indenture Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds to believe
that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

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

                  (h)      The Indenture Trustee shall act in accordance with
Section 6.02 and 6.04 of the Servicing Agreement and shall act as successor to
the Servicer or appoint a successor Servicer in accordance with Section 6.02 of
the Servicing Agreement.

                  (i)      In order to comply with its duties under U.S.A.
Patriot Act, the Indenture Trustee shall obtain and verify certain information
and documentation from the other parties hereto, including, but not limited to,
such party's name, address, and other indentifying information.

                  Section 6.02. RIGHTS OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

                  (a)      The Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and
shall be fully protected from acting or refraining from acting upon, any
document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper person. The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter
stated in the document.

                  (b)      Before the Indenture Trustee acts or refrains from
acting, it may require an Officer's Certificate or an Opinion of Counsel. The
Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any action it takes or omits to take
in good faith in reliance on an Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.

                  (c)      The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for any
action it takes or omits to take in good faith which it believes to be
authorized or within its rights or powers; provided, however, that the Indenture
Trustee's conduct does not constitute willful misconduct, negligence or bad
faith.

                  (d)      The Indenture Trustee may consult with counsel, and
the advice or Opinion of Counsel with respect to legal matters relating to the
Basic Documents and the Notes shall be full and complete authorization and
protection from liability in respect to any action taken, omitted or suffered by
it hereunder or in connection herewith in good faith and in accordance with the
advice or opinion of such counsel.

                  (e)      The Indenture Trustee may execute any of the trusts
or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder, either directly or by or
through agents, attorneys, custodians or nominees appointed with due care, and
shall not be responsible for any willful misconduct or negligence on the part of
any agent, attorney, custodian or nominee so appointed.

                                       48
<PAGE>

                  (f)      The Indenture Trustee or its Affiliates are permitted
to receive additional compensation that could be deemed to be in the Indenture
Trustee's economic self-interest for (i) serving as investment adviser,
administrator, shareholder, servicing agent, custodian or sub-custodian with
respect to certain of the Eligible Investments, (ii) using Affiliates to effect
transactions in certain Eligible Investments and (iii) effecting transactions in
certain Eligible Investments. Such compensation shall not be considered an
amount that is reimbursable or payable to the Indenture Trustee (i) as part of
the Indenture Trustee Fee, (ii) pursuant to Sections 5.04(b), 6.07 or 8.02(c)
hereunder or (iii) out of the Remittance Amount.

                  (g)      The Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Paying Agent
and Note Registrar shall be afforded the same rights, protections, immunities
and indemnities offered to it in its capacity as Indenture Trustee as if
specifically set forth herein.

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

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

                  Section 6.05. NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT. Subject to Section
5.01, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly mail to each Noteholder notice of the
Event of Default after it is actually known by a Responsible Officer of the
Indenture Trustee, unless such Event of Default shall have been waived or cured.

                  Section 6.06. REPORTS BY INDENTURE TRUSTEE TO HOLDERS AND TAX
ADMINISTRATION.

                  The Indenture Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such
information as may be required to enable such holder to prepare its federal and
state income tax returns. The Indenture Trustee shall prepare and file (or cause
to be prepared and filed), on behalf of the Owner Trustee or the Issuer, all tax
returns (if any) and information reports, tax elections and such annual or other
reports of the Issuer as are necessary for preparation of tax returns and
information reports as provided in Section 5.03 of the Trust Agreement,
including without limitation, Form 1099. All tax returns and information reports
shall be signed by the Owner Trustee as provided in Section 5.03 of the Trust
Agreement.

                  Section 6.07. COMPENSATION. The Indenture Trustee shall
withdraw from the Collection Account on each Payment Date and pay to itself the
Indenture Trustee Fee. The Indenture Trustee's compensation shall not be limited
by any law on compensation of a trustee of an express trust.

                                       49
<PAGE>

                  The Issuer's payment obligations to the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section 6.07 shall survive the discharge of this Indenture and
the termination or resignation of the Indenture Trustee. When the Indenture
Trustee or the Owner Trustee incurs expenses after the occurrence of an Event of
Default with respect to the Issuer, the expenses are intended to constitute
expenses of administration under Title 11 of the United States Code or any other
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

                  Section 6.08. REPLACEMENT OF INDENTURE TRUSTEE. No resignation
or removal of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee shall become effective until the acceptance of appointment by the
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Section 6.08. The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer and the Note Insurer. The Note
Insurer or Holders of a majority of Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes
may remove the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and may
appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture
Trustee if:

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

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

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

                  (iv)     the Indenture Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of
         acting.

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

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

                  If a successor Indenture Trustee does not take office within
30 days after the retiring Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed, the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer, the Note Insurer or the Holders of a majority of
Class A Note Principal Balance of the Notes may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

                  Notwithstanding the replacement of the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to this Section, the Issuer's obligations under Section 6.07 shall
continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

                  Section 6.09. SUCCESSOR INDENTURE TRUSTEE BY MERGER. If the
Indenture Trustee consolidates with, merges or converts into, or transfers all
or substantially all of its corporate

                                       50
<PAGE>

trust business or assets to, another corporation or banking association, the
resulting, surviving or transferee corporation, without any further act, shall
be the successor Indenture Trustee; provided, that such corporation or banking
association shall be otherwise qualified and eligible under Section 6.11 hereof.
The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies and the Note Insurer
with prior written notice of any such transaction.

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

                  Section 6.10. APPOINTMENT OF CO-INDENTURE TRUSTEE OR SEPARATE
INDENTURE TRUSTEE.

                  (a)      Notwithstanding any other provisions of this
Indenture, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirement of any
jurisdiction in which any part of the Trust Estate may at the time be located,
the Indenture Trustee shall have the power and may execute and deliver all
instruments to appoint one or more Persons to act as a co-trustee or
co-trustees, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the
Trust Estate, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity and for
the benefit of the Noteholders, such title to the Trust Estate, or any part
hereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section, such powers,
duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Indenture Trustee may consider
necessary or desirable. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
6.11 hereof.

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

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

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

                                       51
<PAGE>

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

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

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

                  Section 6.11. ELIGIBILITY; DISQUALIFICATION. The Indenture
Trustee shall at all times satisfy the requirements of TIA ss. 310(a). The
Indenture Trustee shall have a combined capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000 as set forth in its most recent published annual report of condition
and it or its parent shall have a long-term debt rating of "Baa3" or better by
Moody's and "BBB" or better by S&P, and Fitch. The Indenture Trustee shall
comply with TIA ss. 310(b), including the optional provision permitted by the
second sentence of TIA ss. 310(b)(9); provided, however, that there shall be
excluded from the operation of TIA ss. 310(b)(1) any indenture or indentures
under which other securities of the Issuer are outstanding if the requirements
for such exclusion set forth in TIA ss. 310(b)(1) are met.

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

                  Section 6.13. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Indenture
Trustee hereby represents and warrants to the Issuer and for the benefit of the
Note Insurer and the Noteholders, as of the Cut-off Date and the Closing Date,
that:

                  (i)      It is a national banking association duly organized,
         validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the United
         States.

         and the performance and compliance with the terms of this Indenture by
         it, will not violate its charter or bylaws.

         consummate all transactions contemplated by this Indenture has duly

         and has duly executed and delivered this Indenture.

                  (iv)     This Indenture, assuming due authorization, execution
         and delivery by the Issuer, constitutes a valid, legal and binding
         obligation of it, enforceable against it in accordance with the terms
         hereof, subject to (A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership,
         reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting the enforcement of
         creditors' rights generally, and (B) general principles of equity,
         regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a proceeding in
         equity or at law.

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

                  (i)      to accept the pledge of the Mortgage Loans and hold

                  (ii)     to authenticate and deliver the Notes substantially
         in the form prescribed by Exhibits A to this Indenture in accordance

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

                  Section 6.15. THE AGENTS. The provisions of this Indenture
relating to the limitations of the Indenture Trustee's liability and to its

                  The Servicer or an affiliate of the Servicer may elect to
purchase the Mortgage Loans and REO Property following the Optional Redemption
Date pursuant to the preceding paragraph only if the Redemption Price is equal
to or less than the aggregate fair market value of all of the assets in the
Trust and will result in payments on the Notes sufficient to pay the Noteholders
the outstanding Class A Note Principal Balance and unpaid interest on the Class
A Notes and to pay all amounts owed to the Note Insurer.

which final payment 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 payment, and (iii) that
the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment Date is not applicable,
payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Class A Notes at
the office or agency of the Indenture Trustee therein specified.

                  (c)      Upon presentation and surrender of the Class A Notes,
the Indenture Trustee shall cause to be paid to the Holders of Class A Notes, as
applicable, on the Payment Date for such final payment, 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 paid to Class A Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01 for such Payment Date.
On the final Payment Date, the Indenture Trustee shall withdraw from the Payment
Account and remit to the Note Insurer the lesser of (x) the amount available for
payment on such final Payment Date, net of any portion thereof necessary to pay
Class A Noteholders pursuant to Section 5.01(a)(i) and (ii) and (y) the unpaid
amounts due and owing to the Note Insurer pursuant to Section 5.01(a).

                  (d)      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

                                       62
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee shall promptly following such date cause all funds in the
Payment Account not paid in final payment 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 Servicer (if the Servicer has exercised its right to purchase the
Mortgage 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 payment with respect thereto. If
within one year after the second notice all the Class A Notes shall not have
been surrendered for cancellation, the Indenture Trustee shall return such funds
in the escrow account to the Issuer.

                             SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES

                  Section 9.01. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITHOUT CONSENT OF
NOTEHOLDERS.

                  (a)      Without the consent of the Holders of any Notes but
with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer (which will not be
unreasonably withheld) and prior notice to the Rating Agencies and the Note
Insurer, the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Request, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more
indentures supplemental hereto (which shall conform to the provisions of the TIA
as in force at the date of the execution thereof), in form satisfactory to the
Indenture Trustee, for any of the following purposes:

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

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

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

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

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

                  (vi)     to make any other provisions with respect to matters
         or questions arising under this Indenture or in any supplemental
         indenture; provided, that such action (as evidenced by either (i) an
         Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee
         or (ii) confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will
         not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Notes
         (without giving effect to the Note Insurance Policy) shall not
         materially and adversely affect the interests of the Holders of the
         Notes;

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

                                       64
<PAGE>

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

provided, however, that no such indenture supplements shall be entered into
unless the Indenture Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel as to the
enforceability of any such indenture supplement and to the effect that (i) such
indenture supplement is permitted hereunder and (ii) entering into such
indenture supplement will not result in a "substantial modification" of the
Notes under Treasury Regulation Section 1.1001-3 or adversely affect the status
of the Notes as indebtedness for federal income tax purposes.

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

                  (b)      The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized
by an Issuer Request, may, also without the consent of any of the Holders of the
Notes but with the prior written consent of the Note Insurer (which shall not be
unreasonable withheld) and prior notice to the Rating Agencies and the Note
Insurer, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that
such action as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, (i) is permitted by this
Indenture, and shall not (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the
interests of any Noteholder (which may be evidenced by confirmation from the
Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the reduction or
withdrawal of the rating of the Notes without giving effect to the Note
Insurance Policy) or (iii) if 100% of the Certificates are not owned by the
Seller, cause the Issuer to be subject to an entity level tax for federal income
tax purposes.

                  Section 9.02. SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES WITH CONSENT OF
NOTEHOLDERS. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Request, also may, with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and, with the prior
written consent of the Note Insurer (which shall not be unreasonably withheld)
and with the consent of the Holders of not less than a majority of the Class A
Note Principal Balance of the Notes affected thereby, by Act (as defined in
Section 10.03 hereof) of such Holders delivered to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee, enter into an indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the
purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the
rights of the Holders of the Notes under this Indenture; provided, however, that
no such supplemental indenture shall, without the consent of the Holder of each
Note affected thereby:

                  (i)      change the date of payment of any installment of
         principal of or interest on any Note, or reduce the principal amount
         thereof or the interest rate thereon, change the provisions of this
         Indenture relating to the application of collections on, or the
         proceeds of the sale of, the Trust Estate to payment of principal of or
         interest on the Notes, or change any place of payment where, or the
         coin or currency in which, any Note or the

                                       65
<PAGE>

         interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for
         the enforcement of the provisions of this Indenture requiring the
         application of funds available therefor, as provided in Article V, to
         the payment of any such amount due on the Notes on or after the
         respective due dates thereof;

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

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

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

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

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

                  (vii)    permit the creation of any lien ranking prior to or
         on a parity with the lien of this Indenture with respect to any part of
         the Trust Estate or, except as otherwise permitted or contemplated
         herein, terminate the lien of this Indenture on any property at any
         time subject hereto or deprive the Holder of any Note of the security
         provided by the lien of this Indenture;

and provided, further, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel, cause the Issuer (if 100% of the Certificates are not owned by the
Seller) to be subject to an entity level tax.

                  Any such action shall not (as evidenced by either (i) an
Opinion of Counsel delivered to the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee or (ii)
confirmation from the Rating Agencies that such amendment will not result in the
reduction or withdrawal of the rating of the Notes (without giving effect to the
Note Insurance Policy) adversely affect in any material respect the interest of
any Holder (other than a Holder who shall consent to such supplemental
indenture).

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

<PAGE>

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

                  Section 9.03. EXECUTION OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURES. In
executing, or permitting the additional trusts created by, any supplemental
indenture permitted by this Article IX or the modification thereby of the trusts
created by this Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall be entitled to receive,
and subject to Sections 6.01 and 6.02 hereof, shall be fully protected in
relying upon, an Opinion of Counsel stating that the execution of such
supplemental indenture is authorized or permitted by this Indenture. The
Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
supplemental indenture that affects the Indenture Trustee's own rights, duties,
liabilities or immunities under this Indenture or otherwise.

                  Section 9.04. EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE. Upon the
execution of any supplemental indenture pursuant to the provisions hereof, this
Indenture shall be and shall be deemed to be modified and amended in accordance
therewith with respect to the Notes affected thereby, and the respective rights,
limitations of rights, obligations, duties, liabilities and immunities under
this Indenture of the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer and the Holders of the Notes
shall thereafter be determined, exercised and enforced hereunder subject in all
respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions
of any such supplemental indenture shall be and be deemed to be part of the
terms and conditions of this Indenture for any and all purposes.

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

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

                  Section 10.01. COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES AND OPINIONS, ETC.

                  (a)      Upon any application or request by the Issuer to the
Indenture Trustee to take any action under any provision of this Indenture, the
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture Trustee (i) an Officer's Certificate
stating that all conditions precedent, if any, provided for in this Indenture
relating to the proposed action have been complied with and (ii) an Opinion of
Counsel stating that in the opinion of such counsel all such conditions
precedent, if any, have been complied with, except that, in the case of any such
application or request as to which the furnishing of such documents is
specifically required by any provision of this Indenture, no additional
certificate or opinion need be furnished.

                  Every certificate or opinion with respect to compliance with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include:

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

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

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

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

                  (v)      if the signatory of such certificate or opinion is
         required to be Independent, the statement required by the definition of
         the term "Independent Certificate."

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

                                       68
<PAGE>

                  (ii)     Whenever the Issuer is required to furnish to the
         Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate certifying or stating the
         opinion of any signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i)
         above, the Issuer shall also deliver to the Indenture Trustee an
         Independent Certificate from a nationally recognized accounting firm as
         to the same matters, if the fair value of the securities to be so
         deposited and of all other such securities made the basis of any such
         withdrawal or release since the commencement of the then current fiscal
         year of the Issuer, as set forth in the certificates delivered pursuant
         to clause (i) above and this clause (ii), is 10% or more of the Class A
         Note Principal Balance of the Notes, but such a certificate need not be
         furnished with respect to any securities so deposited, if the fair
         value thereof as set forth in the related Officer's Certificate is less
         than $25,000 or less than one percent of the Class A Note Principal
         Balance of the Notes.

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

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

                  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
nothing contained in this Section 10.01 shall apply to the obligations of the
Indenture Trustee, the Seller or the Servicer under the Servicing Agreement.

                  Section 10.02. FORM OF DOCUMENTS DELIVERED TO INDENTURE
TRUSTEE. In any case where several matters are required to be certified by, or
covered by an opinion of, any specified Person, it is not necessary that all
such matters be certified by, or covered by the opinion of, only one such
Person, or that they be so certified or covered by only one document, but one
such Person may certify or give an opinion with respect to some matters and one
or more other such Persons as to other matters, and any such Person may certify
or give an opinion as to such matters in one or several documents.

                  Any certificate or opinion of an Authorized Officer of the
Issuer may be based, insofar as it relates to legal matters, upon a certificate
or opinion of, or representations by, counsel, unless such officer knows, or in
the exercise of reasonable care should know, that the

                                       69
<PAGE>

certificate or opinion or representations with respect to the matters upon which
his certificate or opinion is based are erroneous. Any such certificate of an
Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as it relates to
factual matters, upon a certificate or opinion of, or representations by, an
officer or officers of the Seller or the Issuer, stating that the information
with respect to such factual matters is in the possession of the Seller or the
Issuer, unless such counsel knows, or in the exercise of reasonable care should
know, that the certificate or opinion or representations with respect to such
matters are erroneous.

                  Where any Person is required to make, give or execute two or
more applications, requests, consents, certificates, statements, opinions or
other instruments under this Indenture, they may, but need not, be consolidated
and form one instrument.

                  Whenever in this Indenture, in connection with any application
or certificate or report to the Indenture Trustee, it is provided that the
Issuer shall deliver any document as a condition of the granting of such
application, or as evidence of the Issuer's compliance with any term hereof, it
is intended that the truth and accuracy, at the time of the granting of such
application or at the effective date of such certificate or report (as the case
may be), of the facts and opinions stated in such document shall in such case be
conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer to have such application granted
or to the sufficiency of such certificate or report. The foregoing shall not,
however, be construed to affect the Indenture Trustee's right to rely upon the
truth and accuracy of any statement or opinion contained in any such document as
provided in Article VI.

                  Section 10.03. ACTS OF NOTEHOLDERS.

                  (a)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action provided by this Indenture to be given
or taken by Noteholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more
instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by such Noteholders in person
or by agents duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Indenture Trustee, and, where it is hereby expressly
required, to the Issuer. Such instrument or instruments (and the action embodied
therein and evidenced thereby) are herein sometimes referred to as the "Act" of
the Noteholders signing such instrument or instruments. Proof of execution of
any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be
sufficient for any purpose of this Indenture and (subject to Section 6.01
hereof) conclusive in favor of the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer, if made in
the manner provided in this Section 10.03 hereof.

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

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

                  (d)      Any request, demand, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action by the Holder of any Notes shall bind
the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done,

                                       70

omitted or suffered to be done by the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer in
reliance thereon, whether or not notation of such action is made upon such Note.

                  Section 10.04. NOTICES ETC., TO INDENTURE TRUSTEE ISSUER AND
RATING AGENCIES.

                  Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice,

                  Section 10.05. NOTICES TO NOTEHOLDERS; WAIVER. Where this
Indenture provides for notice to Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be
sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly provided) if in writing
and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each Noteholder affected by such
event, at such Person's address as it appears on the Note Register, not later
than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the
giving of such notice. In any case where notice to Noteholders is given by mail,
neither the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed
to any particular Noteholder shall affect the

                                       71
<PAGE>

sufficiency of such notice with respect to other Noteholders, and any notice
that is mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to
have been duly given regardless of whether such notice is in fact actually
received.

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

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

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

                  Section 10.06. CONFLICT WITH TRUST INDENTURE ACT. If any
provision hereof limits, qualifies or conflicts with another provision hereof
that is required to be included in this Indenture by any of the provisions of
the TIA, such required provision shall control.

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

                  Section 10.07. EFFECT OF HEADINGS. The Article and Section
headings herein are for convenience only and shall not affect the construction
hereof.

                  Section 10.08. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. All covenants and
agreements in this Indenture and the Notes by the Issuer shall bind its
successors and assigns, whether so expressed or not. All agreements of the
Indenture Trustee in this Indenture shall bind its successors, co-trustees and
agents.

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

                  Section 10.10. BENEFITS OF INDENTURE. The Note Insurer and its
successors and assigns shall be a third-party beneficiary to the provisions of
this Indenture. To the extent that this Indenture confers upon or gives or
grants to the Note Insurer any right, remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Indenture, the Note Insurer may enforce any such right, remedy or claim
conferred, given or granted hereunder. Nothing in this Indenture or in the
Notes, express or implied, shall give to any Person, other than the parties
hereto and their successors hereunder,

                                       72
<PAGE>

and the Noteholders and the Note Insurer, any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, remedy or claim under this Indenture.

                  Section 10.11. LEGAL HOLIDAYS. In any case where the date on
which any payment is due shall not be a Business Day, then (notwithstanding any
other provision of the Notes or this Indenture) payment need not be made on such
date, but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force
and effect as if made on the date on which nominally due, and no interest shall
accrue for the period from and after any such nominal date.

                  Section 10.12. GOVERNING LAW. THIS INDENTURE SHALL BE
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT
REFERENCE TO ITS CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS, AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND
REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH
LAWS.

                  Section 10.13. COUNTERPARTS. This Indenture may be executed in
any number of counterparts, each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an
original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the
same instrument.

                  Section 10.14. RECORDING OF INDENTURE. If this Indenture is
subject to recording in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording
is to be effected by the Issuer and at its expense accompanied by an Opinion of
Counsel at its expense (which may be counsel to the Indenture Trustee or any
other counsel reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee) to the effect that
such recording is necessary either for the protection of the Noteholders or the
Note Insurer or any other Person secured hereunder or for the enforcement of any
right or remedy granted to the Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

                  Section 10.15. ISSUER OBLIGATION. No recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee or the Indenture Trustee on the Notes or under this Indenture or any
certificate or other writing delivered in connection herewith or therewith,
against (i) the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual
capacity, (ii) any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer or (iii) any
partner, owner, beneficiary, agent, officer, director, employee or agent of the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity, any holder of
a beneficial interest in the Issuer, the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee
or of any successor or assign of the Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee in
its individual capacity, except as any such Person may have expressly agreed (it
being understood that the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee have no such
obligations in their individual capacity) and except that any such partner,
owner or beneficiary shall be fully liable, to the extent provided by applicable
law, for any unpaid consideration for stock, unpaid capital contribution or
failure to pay any installment or call owing to such entity. For all purposes of
this Indenture, in the performance of any duties or obligations of the Issuer
hereunder, the Owner Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits
of, the terms and provisions of Article VI, VII and VIII of the Trust Agreement.

                  Section 10.16. NO PETITION. The Indenture Trustee, by entering
into this Indenture, and each Noteholder, by accepting a Note, hereby covenant
and agree that they will not at any time prior to one year from the date of
termination hereof, institute against the

                                       73
<PAGE>

Depositor or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor or the
Issuer of, any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States federal or
state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to
the Notes, this Indenture or any of the Basic Documents, except for filing
proofs of claim.

                  Section 10.17. INSPECTION. The Issuer agrees that, at its
expense, on reasonable prior notice, it shall permit any representative of the
Indenture Trustee, during the Issuer's normal business hours, to examine all the
books of account, records, reports and other papers of the Issuer, to make
copies and extracts therefrom, to cause such books to be audited by Independent
certified public accountants, and to discuss the Issuer's affairs, finances and
accounts with the Issuer's officers, employees, and Independent certified public
accountants, all at such reasonable times and as often as may be reasonably
requested. The Indenture Trustee shall cause its representatives to hold in
confidence all such information except to the extent disclosure may be required
by law (and all reasonable applications for confidential treatment are
unavailing) and except to the extent that the Indenture Trustee may reasonably
determine that such disclosure is consistent with its obligations hereunder.

                  Section 10.18. NO RECOURSE TO OWNER TRUSTEE. It is expressly
understood and agreed by the parties hereto that (a) this Indenture is executed
and delivered by Wilmington Trust Company, not individually or personally, but
solely as Owner Trustee of Home Loan Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-2, in the exercise
of the powers and authority conferred and vested in it, (b) each of the
representations, undertakings and agreements herein made on the part of the
Issuer is made and intended not as personal representations, undertakings and
agreements by Wilmington Trust Company but is made and intended for the purpose
for binding only the Issuer, (c) nothing herein contained shall be construed as
creating any liability of Wilmington Trust Company, individually or personally,
to perform any covenant either expressed or implied contained herein, all such
liability, if any, being expressly waived by the parties hereto and by any
Person claiming by, through or under the parties hereto and (d) under no
circumstances shall Wilmington Trust Company be personally liable for the
payment of any indebtedness or expenses of the Issuer or be liable for the
breach or failure of any obligation, representation, warranty or covenant made
or undertaken by the Issuer under this Indenture or any other related documents.

                  Section 10.19. PROOFS OF CLAIM. The Indenture Trustee is
authorized to file such proofs of claim and other papers or documents as may be
necessary or advisable in order to have the claims of the Indenture Trustee
(including any claim for the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements
and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel) and the
Noteholders allowed in any judicial proceedings relative to the Issuer (or any
other obligor upon the Notes), its creditors or its property and shall be
entitled and empowered to collect, receive and distribute any money or other
property payable or deliverable on any such claims and any custodian in any such
judicial proceeding is hereby authorized by each Noteholder to make such
payments to the Indenture Trustee, as administrative expenses associated with
any such proceeding, and, in the event that the Indenture Trustee shall consent
to the making of such payments directly to the Noteholder to pay to the
Indenture Trustee any amount due to it for the reasonable compensation,
expenses, disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and
counsel, and any other amounts due to the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07

                                       74
<PAGE>

disbursements and advances of the Indenture Trustee, its agents and counsel, and
any other amounts due the Indenture Trustee under Section 6.07 hereof out of the
estate in any such proceeding, shall be denied for any reason, payment of the
same shall be secured by a Lien on, and shall be paid out of, any and all
distributions, dividends, money, securities and other properties that the
Noteholders may be entitled to receive in such proceeding whether in liquidation
or under any plan of reorganization or arrangement or otherwise. Nothing herein
contained shall be deemed to authorize the Indenture Trustee to authorize or
consent to or accept or adopt on behalf of any Noteholder any plan of
reorganization, arrangement, adjustment or composition affecting the Noteholder
of the rights of any Noteholder thereof, or to authorize the Indenture Trustee
to vote in respect of the claim of any Noteholder in any such proceeding.

         Home Loan Mortgage Loan Trust 2004-2 (the "Issuer"), a Delaware
statutory trust, for value received, hereby promises to pay to Cede & Co. or
registered assigns, the principal sum of ($_________________) in monthly
installments on the fifteenth day of each month or, if such day is not a
Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day (each a "Payment Date"),
commencing in January 2005 and ending on or before the Payment Date occurring on
the Latest Possible Maturity Date and to pay interest on the Note Balance of
this Note (this "Note") outstanding from time to time as provided below.

         This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of the Issuer's
Asset-Backed Notes, Series 2004-2 (the "Notes"), issued under an Indenture dated
as of December 16, 2004 (the "Indenture"), between the Issuer and Deutsche Bank
National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee", which
term includes any successor Indenture Trustee under the Indenture), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights thereunder of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee, and the Holders of the Notes and the terms upon which the Notes are to
be authenticated and delivered. All terms used in this Note which are defined in
the Indenture shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

         Payments of principal and interest on this Note will be made on each
Payment Date to the Noteholder of record as of the related Record Date. The
"Note Balance" of a Note as of any date of determination is equal to the initial
Note Balance thereof, reduced by the aggregate of all amounts previously paid
with respect to such Note on account of principal and the aggregate amount of
cumulative Loan Losses allocated to such Note on all prior Payment Dates.

         The principal of, and interest on, this Note are due and payable as
described in the Indenture, in such coin or currency of the United States of
America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and
private debts. All payments made by the Issuer with respect to this Note shall
be equal to this Note's pro rata share of the aggregate payments on all Class A
Notes as described above, and shall be applied as between interest and principal
as provided in the Indenture.

<PAGE>

         All principal and interest accrued on the Notes, if not previously
paid, will become finally due and payable at the Latest Possible Maturity Date.

         The Notes are subject to redemption in whole, but not in part, by the
Servicer on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the aggregate
Stated Principal Balance of the Mortgage Loans as of the end of the prior Due
Period is less than or equal to 10% of the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
the Mortgage Loans as of Cut-off Date.

         The Issuer shall not be liable upon the indebtedness evidenced by the
Notes except to the extent of amounts available from the Trust Estate which
constitutes security for the payment of the Notes. The assets included in the
Trust Estate will be the sole source of payments on the Class A Notes, and each
Holder hereof, by its acceptance of this Note, agrees that (i) such Note will be
limited in right of payment to amounts available from the Trust Estate as
provided in the Indenture and (ii) such Holder shall have no recourse to the
Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer or
any of their respective affiliates, or to the assets of any of the foregoing
entities, except the assets of the Issuer pledged to secure the Class A Notes
pursuant to the Indenture and the rights conveyed to the Issuer under the
Indenture.

         Any payment of principal or interest payable on this Note which is
punctually paid on the applicable Payment Date shall be paid to the Person in
whose name such Note is registered at the close of business on the Record Date
for such Payment Date by check mailed to such person's address as it appears in
the Note Register on such Record Date, except for the final installment of
principal and interest payable with respect to such Note, which shall be payable
as provided below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon written request with
appropriate instructions by the Holder of this Note delivered to the Indenture
Trustee at least five Business Days prior to the Record Date, any payment of
principal or interest, other than the final installment of principal or
interest, shall be made by wire transfer to an account in the United States
designated by such Holder. All scheduled reductions in the Note Balance of a
Note (or one or more predecessor Notes) effected by payments of principal made
on any Payment Date shall be binding upon all Holders of this Note and of any
note issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or
in lieu thereof, whether or not such payment is noted on such Note. The final
payment of this Note shall be payable upon presentation and surrender thereof on
or after the Payment Date thereof at the office or agency of the Issuer
maintained by it for such purpose pursuant to Section 3.02 of the Indenture.

         Subject to the foregoing provisions, each Note delivered under the
Indenture, upon registration of transfer of or in exchange for or in lieu of any
other Note shall carry the right to unpaid principal and interest that were
carried by such other Note.

         If an Event of Default as defined in the Indenture shall occur and be
continuing with respect to the Notes, the Notes may become or be declared due
and payable in the manner and with the effect provided in the Indenture. If any
such acceleration of maturity occurs prior to the payment of the entire unpaid
Note Balance of the Notes, the amount payable to the Holder of this Note will be
equal to the sum of the unpaid Note Balance of the Notes, together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon as described in the Indenture. The Indenture
provides that, notwithstanding the acceleration of the maturity of the Notes,
under certain circumstances specified therein, all amounts collected as proceeds
of the Trust Estate securing the Notes or

                                     A-1-3
<PAGE>

otherwise shall continue to be applied to payments of principal of and interest
on the Notes as if they had not been declared due and payable.

         The failure to pay any Class Interest Carryover Shortfall at any time
when funds are not available to make such payment as provided in the Indenture
shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Indenture.

         The Holder of this Note or Beneficial Owner of any interest herein is
deemed to represent that either (1) it is not acquiring this Note with Plan
Assets or (2) (A) the acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note will not
give rise to a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and (B) this Note is rated investment grade or better
and such person believes that this Note is properly treated as indebtedness
without substantial equity features for purposes of the DOL Regulations, and
agrees to so treat this Note. Alternatively, regardless of the rating of this
Note, such person may provide the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee with
an opinion of counsel, which opinion of counsel will not be at the expense of
the Issuer, the Seller, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer which opines that the
acquisition, holding and transfer of this Note or interest herein is permissible
under applicable law, will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the
Issuer, the Seller, the Depositor, any Underwriter, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or any successor servicer to any obligation in
addition to those undertaken in the Indenture.

         As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein
set forth, the transfer of this Note may be registered on the Note Register of
the Issuer. Upon surrender for registration of transfer of, or presentation of a
written instrument of transfer for, this Note at the office or agency designated
by the Issuer pursuant to the Indenture, accompanied by proper instruments of
assignment in form satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee, one or more new Notes
of any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate initial Note Balance,
will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

         Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this Note,
the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and any agent of the Issuer or the Indenture
Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner
of such Note (i) on the applicable Record Date for the purpose of making
payments and interest of such Note and (ii) on any other date for all other
purposes whatsoever, as the owner hereof, whether or not this Note be overdue,
and neither the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee nor any such agent of the Issuer
or the Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

         The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Issuer and the rights of the Holders of the Notes under the Indenture at any
time by the Issuer and the Holders of a majority of all Notes at the time
outstanding. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting (i) the Note
Insurer or (ii) if the Note Insurer defaults, the Holders of Notes representing
specified percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes on behalf of
the Holders of all the Notes, to waive any past Default under the Indenture and
its consequences. Any such waiver by the Holder, at the time of the giving
thereof, of this Note (or any one or more predecessor Notes)

                                     A-1-4
<PAGE>

shall bind the Holder of every Note issued upon the registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon such Note. The Indenture also permits the Issuer
and the Indenture Trustee to amend or waive certain terms and conditions set
forth in the Indenture without the consent of the Holders of the Notes issued
thereunder.

         Initially, this Note will be registered in the name of Cede & Co. as
nominee of DTC, acting in its capacity as the Depository for this Note. This
Note will be delivered by the clearing agency in denominations as provided in
the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth. This Note is
exchangeable for a like aggregate initial Note Balance of Notes of different
authorized denominations, as requested by the Holder surrendering same.

         Unless the Certificate of Authentication hereon has been executed by
the Indenture Trustee by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to
any benefit under the Indenture, or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

         AS PROVIDED IN THE INDENTURE, THIS NOTE AND THE INDENTURE CREATING THIS
NOTE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, AND GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE
STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO AGREEMENTS MADE AND TO BE PERFORMED THEREIN.
