Request direct any Paying Agent to pay to the Indenture Trustee all sums held in

        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  Noteholder  of such Note
shall thereafter,  as an unsecured general creditor, look only to the Issuer for
payment  thereof  (but only to the extent of the amounts so paid to the Issuer),
and all liability of the Indenture  Trustee 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,  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 Noteholders the Notes which 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
Noteholder).

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

deposit  in the Note  Payment  Account,  and in  accordance  with the  Servicing
Certificate,  the amounts  set forth  above in the order of  priority  set forth

Indenture  Trustee by the Issuer,  the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Person
in the name of which a Note is registered at the close of business on the Record
Date  preceding  the  Final  Payment  Date  or  other  final  Payment  Date,  as
applicable.  Such notice shall be mailed no later than five  Business Days prior

                                   ARTICLE IV

                      The Notes; Satisfaction And Discharge Of Indenture

     Section  4.01 The Notes;  Increase  of Maximum  Variable  Funding  Balance;
Variable Funding Notes.

(a) The Term Notes shall be  registered  in the name of a nominee  designated by
the Depository.  Beneficial Owners will hold interests in the Term Notes through
the  book-entry  facilities  of the  Depository  in  minimum  initial  Term Note
Balances of $250,000 and integral  multiples  of $1,000 in excess  thereof.  The
Capped Funding Notes will be issued as physical notes in fully  registered  form
in minimum initial Capped Funding Balances of $1,000,000 and integral  multiples
of $100,000 in excess thereof,  together with any additional amount necessary to
cover (i) the aggregate  initial  Capped  Funding  Balance of the Capped Funding
Notes  surrendered at the time of the initial  denominational  exchange  thereof
(with such initial  Capped  Funding  Balance in each case being deemed to be the
Capped  Funding  Balance of the Capped Funding Notes at the time of such initial
denominational  exchange  thereof) or (ii) the aggregate  initial Capped Funding
Balance  of  any  Capped  Funding  Notes  issued  in an  exchange  described  in
subsection (d) below.

        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 Term Notes for the
purposes of exercising the rights of Noteholders of Term Notes hereunder. Except
as provided in the next succeeding paragraph of this Section 4.01, the rights of
Beneficial  Owners  with  respect  to the Term  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,
Beneficial Owners shall not be entitled to definitive  certificates for the Term
Notes as to which they are the Beneficial Owners.  Requests and directions from,
and votes of, the Depository as Noteholder of the Term 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 Term 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
and upon Issuer Order,  authenticated by the Note Registrar and delivered by the
Indenture Trustee to or upon the order of the Issuer.

                                        18

<PAGE>

(b) On each Payment Date, the aggregate  Variable  Funding Balance of each Class
of the  Variable  Funding  Notes shall be  increased  by an amount  equal to the
Balance  Differential for the related Loan Group for such Payment Date,  subject
to the Maximum  Variable  Funding Balance and the terms and conditions set forth
below.

(c) Each  Variable  Funding  Note  issued on the  Closing  Date  shall  bear the
Designation  "VFN 1" and each new Variable Funding Note related to the same Loan
Group  will  bear  sequential  numerical  designations  in the  order  of  their
issuance.

(d) Subject to the  following  conditions,  the  Variable  Funding  Notes may be
exchanged  pursuant to Section 4.02 for one or more Capped  Funding  Notes.  The
Indenture  Trustee shall not be required to authenticate any such Capped Funding
Note unless a form of such Capped  Funding Note has been  provided by the Issuer
to the Indenture  Trustee at the Issuer's  expense.  Prior to any such exchange,
the party requesting the exchange must provide an Opinion of Counsel,  addressed
to the Enhancer,  the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee,  to the effect that the
Capped   Funding  Notes  shall  qualify  for  federal  income  tax  purposes  as
indebtedness  of the  Issuer  and the  Issuer  will not be  characterized  as an
association  (or a publicly  traded  partnership)  taxable as a corporation or a
taxable  mortgage  pool  within the meaning of Section  7701(i) of the Code.  If
required  by the  Opinion of  Counsel,  the Capped  Funding  Notes may be issued
concurrently  with a reduction in the Variable  Funding  Balance of the Variable
Funding  Notes and an  equivalent  increase  in the  Certificate  Balance of the
Certificates,  pursuant to Section 3.12 of the Trust Agreement.  Upon receipt of
the Opinion of Counsel,  the Indenture  Trustee shall issue Capped Funding Notes
with a Capped  Funding  Balance equal to the Capped  Funding  Balance  permitted
under  such  Opinion  of  Counsel,  in  minimum  denominations  as set  forth in
subsection  (a)  above.  The Capped  Funding  Notes  shall bear the  designation
"Capped" in addition to any other  applicable  designation,  and shall relate to
the Loan Group to which the Variable Funding Notes exchanged  therefor  related.
The initial Security Balance of the Variable Funding Note issued in exchange for
the Variable Funding Note so surrendered  shall be equal to the Security Balance
of  such  Note as of the  date of  surrender  minus  the sum of (i) the  initial
Security  Balance of the Capped Funding Notes so issued and (ii) any increase in
the Certificate  Balance of the  Certificates  referred to above.  The Indenture
Trustee  and the  Issuer  agree to  cooperate  with  each  other  and the  party
requesting the exchange of Variable  Funding Notes for Capped Funding Notes, the
Enhancer,  the  Depositor,  the  Seller  and the Owner  Trustee  and to cause no
unreasonable  delay in issuing  Capped  Funding  Notes in  connection  with this
Section  and Section  3.12 of the Trust  Agreement.  The Holder of the  Variable
Funding  Notes so  surrendered  shall  give prior  written  notice to the Rating
Agencies of any such exchange.

Section 4.02  Registration of and Limitations on Transfer and Exchange of Notes;
Appointment of Certificate  Registrar.  The Issuer shall cause to be kept at the
Indenture Trustee's 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. The Issuer hereby appoints the Indenture Trustee as the initial
Note Registrar.

                                        19

<PAGE>

        Subject  to the  restrictions  and  limitations  set forth  below,  upon
surrender  for  registration  of  transfer  of any Note at the  Corporate  Trust
Office, the Issuer shall execute,  and the Note Registrar shall authenticate and
deliver,  in the name of the designated  transferee or transferees,  one or more
new Notes in authorized  initial Note  Balances  evidencing  the same  aggregate
Percentage Interests.

        No Variable  Funding Note,  other than any Capped Funding Notes,  may be
transferred to any Person other than an Affiliate of the Seller.  Subject to the
provisions set forth below,  Capped Funding Notes may be  transferred,  provided
that with respect to the initial  transfer  thereof by the Seller prior  written
notification  of such transfer shall have been given to the Rating  Agencies and
to the Enhancer by the Seller.

        No transfer,  sale, pledge or other disposition of a Capped Funding Note
shall be made unless such transfer,  sale, pledge or other disposition is exempt
from the  registration  requirements  of the Securities  Act, and any applicable
state  securities  laws or is made in accordance  with said Act and laws. In the
event of any such  transfer,  the Indenture  Trustee or the Issuer shall require
the  transferee to execute either (i)(a) an investment  letter in  substantially
the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (or in such form and substance  reasonably
satisfactory to the Indenture  Trustee and the Issuer) which investment  letters
shall not be an  expense  of the  Owner  Trustee,  the  Indenture  Trustee,  the
Servicer,  the Depositor or the Issuer and which investment  letter states that,
among other things, such transferee (a) is a "qualified  institutional buyer" as
defined  under Rule 144A,  acting for its own  account or the  accounts of other
"qualified  institutional  buyers" as defined under Rule 144A,  and (b) is aware
that the proposed  transferor intends to rely on the exemption from registration
requirements  under  the  Securities  Act,  provided  by Rule  144A or (ii)  the
Indenture  Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an investment  letter
in  substantially  the form of Exhibit C acceptable to and in form and substance
reasonably  satisfactory to the Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee  certifying to
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee the facts surrounding such transfer,  which
investment  letter  shall not be an  expense  of the  Indenture  Trustee  or the
Issuer.  Any  Noteholder  of a Capped  Funding Note that does not execute such a
certificate or transfer letter shall be deemed to have made the  representations
set forth  therein.  The  Noteholder of a Capped Funding Note desiring to effect
such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture  Trustee,
the  Enhancer  and the  Issuer  against  any  liability  that may  result if the
transfer  is not so exempt or is not made in  accordance  with such  federal and
state laws. In addition,  any  Noteholder  of a Capped  Funding Note desiring to
effect any such transfer shall deliver,  if any private placement  memorandum or
other offering  document prepared in connection with the offering of such Capped
Funding Notes  specifies  that such delivery will be required,  to the Indenture
Trustee and the Servicer,  either (i) a certificate  substantially to the effect
of the  certification  set forth in Exhibit G to the Trust  Agreement or (ii) an
Opinion of Counsel that establishes to the satisfaction of the Indenture Trustee
and the  Servicer  that  the  purchase  of  Certificates  is  permissible  under
applicable  law,  will not  constitute  or result in any  non-exempt  prohibited
transaction  under  ERISA or Section  4975 of the Code and will not  subject the
Indenture  Trustee or the Servicer to any  obligation  or  liability  (including
obligations or liabilities  under ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code) in addition
to those undertaken in this Indenture,  which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an
expense of the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer.

                                        20

<PAGE>

        Subject to the foregoing, at the option of the Noteholders, Notes may be
exchanged for other Notes of like tenor, in each case in authorized initial Note
Balances evidencing the same aggregate Percentage  Interests,  upon surrender of
the Notes to be exchanged at the Corporate  Trust Office of the Note  Registrar.
With respect to any  surrender of Capped  Funding  Notes for  exchange,  the new
Notes  delivered  in exchange  therefor  will bear the  designation  "Capped" in
addition  to any  other  applicable  designations.  Whenever  any  Notes  are so
surrendered for exchange,  the Issuer shall execute and the Note Registrar 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 Noteholder
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 imposed 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.

        All Notes surrendered for registration of transfer and exchange shall be
cancelled  by the Note  Registrar  and  delivered to the  Indenture  Trustee for
subsequent destruction without liability on the part of either.

        The  Issuer  hereby  appoints  the  Indenture   Trustee  as  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.  The Indenture  Trustee hereby accepts such
appointment.

        Each purchaser of a Note, by its acceptance of the Note, shall be deemed
to have  represented that the acquisition of such Note by the purchaser does not
constitute or give rise to a prohibited  transaction  under Section 406 of ERISA
or  Section  4975  of  the  Code,   for  which  no   statutory,   regulatory  or
administrative exemption is available.

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

                                        21
<PAGE>

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 of the same class;  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
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  Noteholder  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 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
none of the  Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  or any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture Trustee shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

transfer,  exchange or redemption shall, if surrendered to any Person other than
the  Indenture  Trustee,  be  delivered  to the  Indenture  Trustee and shall be

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. Each Class of Term Notes, upon original issuance,
shall 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.  Such Term 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 shall receive a Definitive Note representing
such  Beneficial  Owner's  interest in such Note,  except as provided in Section
4.08.  Unless and until  definitive,  fully  registered  Notes (the  "Definitive
Notes") have been issued to Beneficial Owners pursuant to Section 4.08:

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

(b) the Note Registrar 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 Term Notes,  and shall have no
obligation to the Beneficial Owners;

(c) 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;

(d) 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 Term 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

(e) whenever this Indenture  requires or permits  actions to be taken based upon
instructions  or directions of Noteholders of Term Notes  evidencing a specified
percentage of the Term Note Balances of the Term Notes,  the Depository shall be
deemed to  represent  such  percentage  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 Term Notes and has delivered such instructions to
the Indenture Trustee.

Section 4.07 Notices to Depository.  Whenever a notice or other communication to
the Noteholders of the Term Notes is required under this  Indenture,  unless and
until Definitive Term 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 Noteholders of the Term 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 Term Notes and the  Indenture  Trustee is
unable to locate a qualified  successor,  (ii) the Indenture  Trustee  elects to
terminate the  book-entry  system  through the  Depository,  (iii) the Indenture
Trustee  receives actual  knowledge of a proposed  transfer of a Term Note to an
"accredited  investor" in accordance with Section 4.02 and Exhibit C hereof,  or
(iv) after the  occurrence  of an Event of  Default,  Beneficial  Owners of Term
Notes representing  beneficial interests  aggregating at least a majority of the
aggregate  Term Note Balance of the Term 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 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
Term Notes  representing  the Book-Entry  Notes by the Depository (or Percentage
Interest of the  Book-Entry  Notes being  transferred  pursuant to clause  (iii)
above), accompanied by registration  instructions,  the Issuer shall execute and
the Indenture Trustee shall authenticate the Definitive Notes in 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 each 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  Noteholders 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, 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
registration  of  transfer  and  exchange,   (ii)   substitution  of  mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Notes, (iii) rights of Noteholders to receive payments
of principal thereof and interest thereon, (iv) Sections 3.03, 3.04, 3.06, 3.09,
3.16, 3.18 and 3.19, (v) the rights, obligations 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 (vi)
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, when

                                        24

                      (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 and (ii) Notes for whose payment money has
     theretofore  been deposited in trust or segregated and held in trust by the

        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

        not theretofore delivered to the Indenture Trustee for cancellation when
        due on the Final Payment Date;

(3)  the Issuer has paid or caused to be paid all other sums  payable  hereunder

     Officer's   Certificate  and  an  Opinion  of  Counsel,  each  meeting  the
     applicable  requirements  of  Section  10.01  and  each  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
     not  have  any  material  adverse  tax  consequences  to  the  Issuer,  any
     Noteholders or any Certificateholders.

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

Agent,  as the  Indenture  Trustee  may  determine,  to the  Securityholders  of
Securities,  of all  sums  due and to  become  due  thereon  for  principal  and
interest;  but such monies need not be segregated from other funds except to the
extent required herein or required by law.

Section 4.12   Subrogation and Cooperation.

(a) The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee  acknowledge that (i) to the extent the
Enhancer  makes payments under the Policy on account of principal of or interest
on the Mortgage Loans,  the Enhancer will be fully  subrogated to the rights the
Noteholders to receive such principal of and interest on the Mortgage Loans, and
(ii) the  Enhancer  shall be paid  such  principal  and  interest  only from the
sources and in the manner provided herein and in the Insurance Agreement for the

        The  Indenture   Trustee  shall  cooperate  in  all  respects  with  any
reasonable  request by the  Enhancer  for  action to  preserve  or  enforce  the
Enhancer's  rights or interest under this Indenture or the Insurance  Agreement,
consistent  with  this  Indenture  and  without   limiting  the  rights  of  the
Noteholders  as  otherwise  set  forth  in the  Indenture,  including  upon  the
occurrence and continuance of a default under the Insurance Agreement, a request
(which  request  shall be in writing)  to take any one or more of the  following
actions:

(i)     institute  Proceedings for the collection of all amounts then payable on
        the  Notes or under  this  Indenture  in  respect  to the  Notes and all

        judgment obtained and collect from the Issuer monies adjudged due;

(ii)    sell the  Trust  Estate or any  portion  thereof  or rights or  interest

                                        26

<PAGE>

     Following the payment in full of the Notes,  the Enhancer shall continue to
have all rights and  privileges  provided  to it under this  Section  and in all
other provisions of this Indenture, until all amounts owing to the Enhancer have
been paid in full.

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 Paying Agent (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 Paying Agent 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 or  agency  of the  Indenture
Trustee,  without charge to the Noteholder.  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 and
aggregate  principal amount.  Until so exchanged,  such temporary Notes shall in

                              Default And Remedies

Section  5.01  Events of  Default.  The Issuer  shall  deliver to the  Indenture
Trustee and the Enhancer,  within five days after  learning of the occurrence of
any event that with the  giving of notice and the lapse of time would  become an
Event of  Default  under  clause  (c) of the  definition  of "Event of  Default"
written  notice in the form of an Officer's  Certificate  of its status and what
action the Issuer is taking or proposes to take with respect thereto.

Section 5.02 Acceleration of Maturity;  Rescission and Annulment. If an Event of
Default shall occur and be continuing, then and in every such case the Indenture
Trustee,  acting at the direction of the Noteholders of Notes  representing  not
less than a majority  of the  aggregate  Note  Balance  of the  Notes,  with the
written consent of the Enhancer, may declare the Notes to be immediately due and
payable by a notice in writing to the Issuer  (and to the  Indenture  Trustee if
given by  Noteholders);  and upon any such  declaration,  the  unpaid  principal
amount of the Notes,  together with accrued and unpaid interest  thereon through
the date of acceleration, shall become immediately due and payable.

                                        27

<PAGE>

        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 provided in this Article V, the Enhancer or the Noteholders of Notes
representing  a majority of the  aggregate  Note Balance of the Notes,  with the
written  consent  of the  Enhancer,  by  written  notice to the  Issuer  and the
Indenture Trustee, may in writing waive the related Event of Default and rescind
and annul such declaration and its consequences if:

(a)  the  Issuer  has  paid  or  deposited  with  the  Indenture  Trustee  a sum
     sufficient to pay:

(i)     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;

(ii)    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

(iii)   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 default in the payment of (i) any interest on
any Note when the same becomes due and payable, and such default continues for a
period  of five  days,  or  (ii)  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,  pay to it,  for  the  benefit  of the
Noteholders,  the entire  amount then due and payable on the Notes for principal
and interest,  with interest on 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  10.17  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 on the Notes and collect in the manner  provided by
law out of the  property of the Issuer or other  obligor on the Notes,  wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.

                                        28

<PAGE>

(c) If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Indenture Trustee,
subject to the  provisions of Section 10.17  hereof,  may, as more  particularly
provided in Section 5.04, in its  discretion  proceed to protect and enforce its
rights and the rights of the Noteholders by such appropriate  Proceedings as the
Indenture  Trustee  shall deem most  effective  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) If there  shall be pending,  relative to the Issuer or any other  obligor on
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 if 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 if
there shall be any other comparable judicial  Proceedings relative to the Issuer
or other any other  obligor  on the  Notes,  or  relative  to the  creditors  or
property  of the  Issuer or such  other  obligor,  then the  Indenture  Trustee,
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:

(i)  to file and prove a claim or claims for the entire  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  to 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 negligence,  willful  misconduct 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  Noteholders 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 distribute  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 Noteholders allowed in any judicial  proceedings relative
        to the Issuer, its creditors and its property;

                                        29

<PAGE>

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, and, in the event the Indenture Trustee shall
consent to the making of payments  directly to such  Noteholders,  to pay to the
Indenture  Trustee  such  amounts  as shall be  sufficient  to cover  reasonable
compensation to the Indenture  Trustee,  each predecessor  Indenture Trustee and
their  respective  agents,  attorneys  and counsel,  and all other  expenses and
liabilities  incurred,  and all advances made, by the Indenture Trustee and each
predecessor  Indenture  Trustee,  except  as a  result  of  negligence,  willful
misconduct or bad faith.

(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 Noteholder  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  Noteholders  of the Term Notes or the Variable  Funding
Notes, as applicable.

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

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 Enhancer, which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld, and the Noteholders of 100% of the aggregate Note Balance
of the Notes,  (B) the  proceeds of such sale or  liquidation  distributable  to
Noteholders  are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due and unpaid
upon the Notes for  principal and interest and to reimburse the Enhancer for any
amounts drawn under the Policy and any other amounts due the Enhancer  under the
Insurance  Agreement 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 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  Enhancer,  which  consent  will  not  be  unreasonably  withheld,  and  the
Noteholders  of 66  2/3%  of  the  aggregate  Note  Balance  of  the  Notes.  In
determining such sufficiency or insufficiency with respect to clause (B) and (C)
above, the Indenture  Trustee may, but need not, obtain and rely upon 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.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  provided that a
Servicing Default shall not have occurred,  any Sale (as defined in Section 5.15
hereof) 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 such money or property in the following order:

             FIRST:.to the Indenture Trustee for amounts due under Section 6.07;

               SECOND:to  the  Noteholders  for  amounts  due and  unpaid on the
               related  Notes  for  interest,  ratably,  without  preference  or
               priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
               such  Notes for  interest  from  amounts  available  in the Trust
               Estate for such Noteholders;

               THIRD:  to the  Noteholders  for  amounts  due and  unpaid on the
               related  Notes for  principal,  ratably,  without  preference  or
               priority of any kind, according to the amounts due and payable on
               such Notes for  principal,  from  amounts  available in the Trust
               Estate for such  Noteholders,  until the respective Note Balances
               of such Notes have been reduced to zero;

                                        31
<PAGE>

               FOURTH:to  the payment of all amounts due and owing the  Enhancer
               under the Insurance Agreement;

               FIFTH:  to the  Certificate  Paying  Agent for  amounts due under
               Article VIII of the Trust Agreement; and

               SIXTH: to the payment of the remainder,  if any, to the Issuer or
               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 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, but need not (but shall at the written  direction of the
Enhancer),  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  including  payment to the  Enhancer,  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 to take and  maintain  possession  of the Trust  Estate,  the  Indenture
Trustee  may,  but need not,  obtain and rely upon 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  Noteholder  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 10.17 hereof:

(a) such Noteholder  shall have previously given written notice to the Indenture
Trustee of a continuing Event of Default;

(b) the  Noteholders  of not less than 25% of the aggregate  Note Balance of the
Notes shall have made 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;

(c) such  Noteholder or  Noteholders  shall have offered the  Indenture  Trustee
reasonable indemnity against the costs,  expenses and liabilities to be incurred
by it in complying with such request;

                                        32
<PAGE>

(d) the Indenture Trustee for 60 days after its receipt of such notice,  request
and offer of indemnity shall have failed to institute such Proceedings; and

(e) no direction inconsistent with such written request shall have been given to
the Indenture Trustee during such 60-day period by the Noteholders of a majority
of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes or by the Enhancer.

        It is understood and intended that no Noteholder 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 Noteholders or
to obtain or to seek to obtain priority or preference over any other Noteholders
or to enforce  any right  under  this  Indenture,  except in the  manner  herein
provided.

        In  the  event  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  receive  conflicting  or
inconsistent requests and indemnity from two or more groups of Noteholders, each
representing  less than a majority of the  aggregate  Note Balance of the Notes,
the Indenture  Trustee  shall act at the  direction of the group of  Noteholders
with the greater Note  Balance.  In the event that the  Indenture  Trustee shall
receive  conflicting  or  inconsistent  requests and indemnity  from two or more
groups of  Noteholders  representing  the same Note Balance,  then the Indenture
Trustee in its sole  discretion  may  determine  what action,  if any,  shall be
taken, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture.

Section  5.07  Unconditional  Rights of  Noteholders  to Receive  Principal  and
Interest.  Subject to the  provisions of this  Indenture,  the Noteholder 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 Noteholder.

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 Enhancer or 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, 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  Enhancer or any  Noteholder  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 or to the  Noteholders  may be exercised from time to time, and as often
as may be deemed expedient,  by the Indenture Trustee or by the Noteholders,  as
the case may be.

Section  5.11  Control by Enhancer or  Noteholders.  The Enhancer (so long as no
Enhancer  Default exists) or the Noteholders of a majority of the aggregate Note
Balance  of Notes  with the  consent  of the  Enhancer,  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:

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

(b) subject to the express terms of Section 5.04, any direction to the Indenture
Trustee to sell or liquidate  the Trust Estate shall be by the Enhancer (so long
as no Enhancer  Default exists) or by the Noteholders of Notes  representing not
less than 100% of the  aggregate  Note  Balance of the Notes with the consent of
the Enhancer;

(c) if the  conditions  set forth in Section 5.05 shall have been  satisfied and
the  Indenture  Trustee  elects to  retain  the Trust  Estate  pursuant  to such
Section,  then any direction to the Indenture  Trustee by  Noteholders  of Notes
representing  less than 100% of the aggregate  Note Balance of the Notes to sell
or liquidate the Trust Estate shall be of no force and effect; and

(d) the  Indenture  Trustee  may take any  other  action  deemed  proper  by the
Indenture Trustee that is not inconsistent with such direction.

Notwithstanding the rights of Noteholders set forth in this Section,  subject to
Section 6.01, the Indenture  Trustee need not take any action that it determines
(in its sole  discretion)  might  involve it in  liability  or might  materially
adversely  affect the rights of any  Noteholders  not consenting to such action,
unless the Trustee has received  satisfactory  indemnity  from the Enhancer or a
Noteholder.

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,  the
Enhancer (so long as no Enhancer  Default exists) or the Noteholders of not less
than a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes,  with the consent of
the Enhancer,  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 that cannot
be modified or amended  without the consent of the  Noteholder  of each Note. In
the  case  of any  such  waiver,  the  Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  and the
Noteholders  shall be restored to their  respective  former positions and rights
hereunder;  but no such waiver shall extend to any  subsequent or other Event of
Default or impair any right consequent thereto.

                                        34
<PAGE>

        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  Noteholder  by such  Noteholder's  acceptance of the related Note shall be
deemed to have  agreed,  that any court may in its  discretion  require,  in any
Proceeding for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this  Indenture,  or
in any Proceeding  against the Indenture Trustee for any action taken,  suffered
or omitted by it as Indenture Trustee,  the filing by any party litigant in such
Proceeding of an undertaking to pay the costs of such Proceeding,  and that such
court  may in its  discretion  assess  reasonable  costs,  including  reasonable
attorneys'  fees,  against  any party  litigant in such  Proceeding,  having due
regard to the merits 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
Proceeding instituted by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any Proceeding instituted by
any Noteholder,  or group of Noteholders,  in each case holding in the aggregate
more than 10% of the aggregate  Note Balance of the Notes or (c) any  Proceeding
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 is  expressly  subject  to the
provisions of Section 5.05 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  and under the  Insurance  Agreement  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 Noteholders of all Notes and the Enhancer direct the Indenture  Trustee
     to make, such Sale,

                                        35
<PAGE>

(ii)    the proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the entire  amount that
        would  be   payable   to  the   Noteholders   under   the   Notes,   the
        Certificateholders under the Certificates and the Enhancer in respect of
        amounts  drawn under the Policy and any other  amounts due the  Enhancer
        under the  Insurance  Agreement,  in full payment  thereof in accordance
        with Section 5.02, on the Payment Date next  succeeding the date of such
        Sale, or

(iii)   the  Indenture  Trustee  determines,  in its sole  discretion,  that the
        conditions  for  retention of the Trust Estate set forth in Section 5.05
        cannot be satisfied  (in making any such  determination,  the  Indenture
        Trustee may rely upon an opinion of an  Independent  investment  banking
        firm  obtained  and  delivered  as  provided in Section  5.05),  and the
        Enhancer  consents to such Sale (which consent shall not be unreasonably
        withheld), and the Noteholders of Notes representing at least 66 2/3% of
        the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes consent to such Sale.

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) Unless the  Noteholders  and the Enhancer shall have otherwise  consented or
directed the Indenture Trustee,  at any public Sale of all or any portion of the
Trust  Estate  at which a  minimum  bid  equal  to or  greater  than the  amount
described in paragraph  (ii) of subsection (b) of this Section 5.15 has not been
established  by the  Indenture  Trustee and no Person bids an amount equal to or
greater  than such amount,  then the  Indenture  Trustee  shall bid an amount at
least $1.00 more than the highest  other bid,  which bid shall be subject to the
provisions of Section 5.15(d)(ii) herein.

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

(i)  any Noteholder may bid for and, with the consent of the Enhancer,  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  Noteholders
     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. In lieu
     of paying cash therefor,  the Indenture Trustee may make settlement for the
     purchase price by crediting the gross Sale price against the sum of (A) the
     amount   that  would  be   distributable   to  the   Noteholders   and  the
     Certificateholders  and amounts  owing to the  Enhancer as a result of such
     Sale in accordance with Section 5.04(b) on the Payment Date next succeeding

                                        36

<PAGE>

     the  date  of  such  Sale  and  (B) the  expenses  of the  Sale  and of any
     Proceedings in connection  therewith that 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 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 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 5.04(b).

Section 5.17   Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.

(a) Promptly  following a written  request  from the  Enhancer or the  Indenture
Trustee (with the written consent of the Enhancer),  the Issuer, in its capacity
as owner of the Mortgage Loans, shall, with the written consent of the Enhancer,
take all such lawful  action as the  Indenture  Trustee may request to cause the
Issuer to compel or secure the  performance and observance by the Seller and the
Servicer, as applicable,  of each of their obligations to the Issuer under or in
connection  with the Purchase  Agreement  and the  Servicing  Agreement,  and to
exercise any and all rights, remedies,  powers and privileges lawfully available
to the  Issuer  under or in  connection  with  the  Purchase  Agreement  and the
Servicing  Agreement to the extent and in the manner  directed by the  Indenture
Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, including the transmission of notices
of  default  on the  part  of the  Seller  or the  Servicer  thereunder  and the
institution  of legal or  administrative  actions  or  proceedings  to compel or
secure  performance  by the Seller or the Servicer of each of their  obligations
under the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement.

                                        37

<PAGE>

(b) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  the Indenture
Trustee, as pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, subject to the rights of the Enhancer
under the Servicing Agreement,  may, and at the direction (which direction shall
be in writing or by telephone (confirmed in writing promptly thereafter)) of the
Noteholders  of 66 2/3% of the  aggregate  Note  Balance  of the  Notes,  shall,
exercise  all  rights,  remedies,  powers,  privileges  and claims of the Issuer
against the Seller or the  Servicer  under or in  connection  with the  Purchase
Agreement and the Servicing Agreement,  including the right or power to take any
action to  compel  or secure  performance  or  observance  by the  Seller or the
Servicer,  as the  case  may be,  of each of  their  obligations  to the  Issuer
thereunder  and to give  any  consent,  request,  notice,  direction,  approval,
extension or waiver under the Purchase Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, as
the case may be,  and any right of the Issuer to take such  action  shall not be
suspended.  In connection therewith, as determined by the Indenture Trustee, the
Issuer  shall take all actions  necessary to effect the transfer of the Mortgage
Loans to the Indenture Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE VI

                              The Indenture Trustee

Section 6.01   Duties of Indenture Trustee.

(a) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be 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,  reports  or
        opinions  furnished  to the  Indenture  Trustee  and  conforming  to the
        requirements of this Indenture;  provided,  however,  that the Indenture
        Trustee  shall  examine  the  certificates,   reports  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  or  its  own  willful
misconduct, except that:

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

                                        38
<PAGE>

(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  pursuant  to  Section  5.11 or any  direction  from the
        Enhancer  that the  Enhancer  is entitled to give under any of the Basic
        Documents.

(d) The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for interest on any money received
by it except as the Indenture Trustee may agree in writing with the Issuer.

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

(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 adequate  indemnity  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 TIA.

(h) With respect to each Payment Date, on the Business Day following the related
Determination Date, the Indenture Trustee shall forward or cause to be forwarded

(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
any such Officer's Certificate or Opinion of Counsel.
(c) The Indenture  Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers  hereunder or
perform  any  duties  hereunder  either  directly  or by or  through  agents  or
attorneys  or a custodian or nominee,  and the  Indenture  Trustee  shall not be
responsible  for  any  misconduct  or  negligence  on the  part  of,  or for the
supervision of, any such agent,  attorney,  custodian or nominee  appointed with
due care by it hereunder.

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

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

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. 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.

Section 6.04 Indenture Trustee's Disclaimer.  The Indenture Trustee shall not be
(i) responsible for and makes no  representation  as to the validity or adequacy
of this  Indenture or the Notes,  (ii)  accountable  for the Issuer's use of the
proceeds from the Notes or (iii)  responsible for any statement of the Issuer in
this  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 thereon.

Section 6.05 Notice of Event of Default.  If an Event of Default shall occur and
be continuing, and if such Event of Default is known to a Responsible Officer of
the Indenture  Trustee,  then the Indenture Trustee shall give notice thereof to
the Enhancer. The Indenture Trustee shall mail to each Noteholder notice of such
Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs.  Except in the case of an Event
of Default  with respect to the payment of principal of or interest on any Note,
the Indenture  Trustee may withhold such notice if and so long as a committee of
its Responsible  Officers in good faith  determines that withholding such notice
is in the interests of the Noteholders.

Section 6.06 Reports by Indenture Trustee to Noteholders.  The Indenture Trustee
shall deliver to each Noteholder  such  information as may be required to enable
such  Noteholder  to  prepare  its  federal  and state  income tax  returns.  In
addition, upon Issuer Request, the Indenture Trustee shall promptly furnish such
information  reasonably  requested by the Issuer that is reasonably available to
the  Indenture  Trustee to enable the Issuer to perform  its  federal  and state
income tax reporting obligations.

Section  6.07  Compensation  and  Indemnity.  The  Indenture  Trustee  shall  be
compensated  and  indemnified by the Servicer in accordance with Section 6.06 of
the Servicing  Agreement.  All amounts owing the Indenture  Trustee hereunder in
excess of such amount,  as well as any amount owed to the  Indenture  Trustee in
accordance  with  Section  6.06 of the  Servicing  Agreement,  to the extent the
Servicer  has failed to pay such  amount,  shall be paid  solely as  provided in
Section 3.05 hereof (subject to the priorities set forth therein). The Indenture
Trustee's  compensation  shall not be  limited by any law on  compensation  of a
trustee of an express trust.  The Issuer shall  reimburse the Indenture  Trustee
for all  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses  incurred or made by it,  including
costs of  collection,  in addition to the  compensation  for its services.  Such
expenses shall include the reasonable compensation,  expenses, disbursements and
advances of the Indenture  Trustee's agents,  counsel,  accountants and experts.
The Issuer  shall  indemnify  the  Indenture  Trustee  against any and all loss,
liability or expense  (including  attorneys'  fees) incurred by it in connection
with  the  administration  of this  trust  and  the  performance  of its  duties
hereunder.  The Indenture  Trustee shall notify the Issuer promptly of any claim
for which it may seek indemnity.  Failure by the Indenture  Trustee to so notify
the Issuer shall not relieve the Issuer of its obligations hereunder. The Issuer
shall defend any such claim, and the Indenture Trustee may have separate counsel
and the Issuer  shall pay the fees and expenses of such  counsel.  The Issuer is
not obligated to reimburse any expense or indemnify against any loss,  liability
or expense incurred by the Indenture Trustee through the Indenture Trustee's own
willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

        The Issuer's  payment  obligations to the Indenture  Trustee pursuant to
this  Section  6.07 shall  survive the  discharge  of this  Indenture.  When the
Indenture  Trustee  incurs  expenses after the occurrence of an Event of Default
specified  in clause (c) or (d) of the  definition  thereof  with respect to the
Issuer,  such  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  Enhancer.  The  Enhancer  or  the
Noteholders  of a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes may remove
the Indenture Trustee by so notifying the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer (if
given by such Noteholders) and may appoint a successor Indenture Trustee. Unless
a Servicer  Default has  occurred  and is  continuing,  the  appointment  of any
successor  Indenture  Trustee shall be subject to the prior written  approval of
the Servicer. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

                                        41

<PAGE>

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

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

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

(d)  the Indenture  Trustee otherwise becomes incapable of fulfilling its duties
     under the Basic Documents.

        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 promptly appoint a successor  Indenture Trustee with the consent of
the Enhancer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, the
Indenture Trustee shall resign to avoid being directly or indirectly  controlled
by the Issuer.

        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 the 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 60 days
after the retiring  Indenture  Trustee resigns or is removed,  then the retiring
Indenture Trustee, the Issuer or the Noteholders of a majority of aggregate Note
Balance of the Notes may petition any court of  competent  jurisdiction  for the
appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

        If the  Indenture  Trustee  fails  to  comply  with  Section  6.11,  any
Noteholder may petition any court of competent  jurisdiction  for the removal of
the Indenture Trustee and the appointment of a successor Indenture Trustee.

        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 its corporate  trust business or assets to,  another  corporation or banking
association, then 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. The Indenture Trustee shall provide the Rating Agencies with
written notice of any such transaction occurring after the Closing Date.

                                        42

<PAGE>
        If at  the  time  of  any  such  succession  by  merger,  conversion  or
consolidation, any of the Notes shall have been authenticated but not delivered,
then any such  successor to the Indenture  Trustee may adopt the  certificate of
authentication   of  any  predecessor   trustee,   and  deliver  such  Notes  so
authenticated.   If  at  such  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 that it is anywhere in the Notes or in this  Indenture
provided that the certificate of the Indenture Trustee shall have.

Section 6.1   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 such 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 Issuer, 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 thereof,  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,  and no notice to  Noteholders  of the
appointment  of any  co-trustee  or separate  trustee  shall be  required  under
Section 6.08 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

                                        43
<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 Agreement 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 A or better by Moody's.  The Indenture  Trustee shall

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 that has resigned or been removed
shall be subject to TIA ss. 311(a) to the extent indicated.

represents and warrants that:

Indenture  Trustee or any  agreement or other  instrument to which the Indenture
Trustee is a party or by which it is bound.

        trustee, pursuant to the requirements of Article VI; or

(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

        enacted and to add to this  Indenture  such other  provisions  as may be
        expressly required by TIA;

provided,  however,  that no such  supplemental  indenture shall be entered into
unless the  Indenture  Trustee  shall have received an Opinion of Counsel to the
effect that the execution of such  supplemental  indenture will not give rise to
any material adverse tax consequence to the Noteholders.

        The Indenture  Trustee is hereby  authorized to join in the execution of
any such supplemental  indenture and to make any further appropriate  agreements

        The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any
Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination

not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.

                                        51

        It shall not be  necessary  for any Act (as  defined  in  Section  10.03
hereof) 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.

        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  Noteholders  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,  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  Noteholders  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

TIA.

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

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:

        such signatory to express an informed  opinion as to whether or not such
        covenant or condition has been complied with;

(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

     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 as to the

     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 aggregate Note
     Balance of the Notes,  but such a  certificate  need not be furnished  with

        Officer's  Certificate  certifying or stating the opinion of each person
        signing such  certificate  as to the fair value  (within 90 days of such
        release) of the  property  or  securities  proposed  to be released  and

        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,  other than property as contemplated by clause (v) below or
     securities  released from the lien of this Indenture since the commencement
     of the  then-current  calendar  year,  as  set  forth  in the  certificates

     cash  payments  out of  the  Note  Payment  Account  as  and to the  extent
     permitted or required by the Basic  Documents,  so long as the Issuer shall
     deliver to the Indenture Trustee every six months,  commencing December 31,
     1999,  an  Officer's  Certificate  of  the  Issuer  stating  that  all  the
     dispositions  of  Collateral  described  in  clauses  (A) or (B) above that

     in the case of the first such Officer's  Certificate)  were in the ordinary
     course of the Issuer's  business and that the proceeds thereof were applied
     in accordance with the Basic Documents.

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 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)  conclusive in favor of
the  Indenture  Trustee and the Issuer,  if made in the manner  provided in this
Section 10.03.

                                        55

(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 Register.

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

Monitoring  Department,  99 Church Street, New York, New York 10007 and (iii) in
the case of Standard & Poor's, at the following  address:  Standard & Poor's, 26
Broadway,  15th  Floor,  New  York,  New York  10004,  Attention:  Asset  Backed
Surveillance Department;  or, as to each of the foregoing Persons, at such other
address as shall be designated by written notice to the other foregoing Persons.

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 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  Alternate  Payment and Notice  Provisions.  Notwithstanding  any
provision of this Indenture or any of the Notes to the contrary,  the Issuer may
enter into any agreement with any Noteholder  providing for a method of payment,
or notice by the Indenture  Trustee to such  Noteholder,  that is different from
the methods  provided for in this  Indenture for such  payments or notices.  The
Issuer shall furnish to the Indenture  Trustee a copy of each such agreement and
the Indenture Trustee shall cause payments to be made and notices to be given in
accordance with such agreements.

Section 10.07 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 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 10.08 Effect of Headings.  The Article and Section  headings  herein are
for convenience only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

Section 10.09  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 10.10  Severability.  In case any provision in this  Indenture or in the
Notes shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable,  the validity,  legality,
and  enforceability  of the remaining  provisions hereof shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

Section 10.11 Benefits of Indenture.  Nothing in this Indenture or in the Notes,
express or implied,  shall give to any Person, other than the parties hereto and
their successors  hereunder,  and the Noteholders,  the Enhancer,  and any other
party secured hereunder,  and any other Person with an ownership interest in any
part of the Trust Estate, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, remedy or
claim under this Indenture.  The Enhancer shall be a third party  beneficiary of
this Agreement.

Section 10.12 Legal Holidays. In any case where the date on which any payment is
due shall not be a Business Day, then  (notwithstanding  any other  provision of
the Notes or this  Indenture)  payment need not be made on such date, but may be
made on the next  succeeding  Business  Day with the same force and effect as if
made on the date on which  nominally  due, and no interest  shall accrue for the
period from and after any such nominal date.

Section 10.13  GOVERNING  LAW. THIS  INDENTURE  SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK,  WITHOUT  REFERENCE TO ITS  CONFLICTS OF
LAW  PROVISIONS,  AND  THE  OBLIGATIONS,  RIGHTS  AND  REMEDIES  OF THE  PARTIES
HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

Section  10.14  Counterparts.  This  Indenture  may be executed in any number of
counterparts,  each of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original,  but
all such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

Section 10.15 Recording of Indenture.  If this Indenture is subject to recording
in any appropriate public recording offices, such recording is to be effected by
the  Issuer and at its  expense  accompanied  by an  Opinion  of Counsel  (which

                                        58
<PAGE>

counsel 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 any other  Person
secured  hereunder or for the  enforcement of any right or remedy granted to the
Indenture Trustee under this Indenture.

Section  10.16  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 respective individual capacities), 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 Articles VI, VII and VIII of the
Trust Agreement.

Section  10.17 No  Petition.  The  Indenture  Trustee,  by  entering  into  this
Indenture, and each Noteholder, by its acceptance of a Note, hereby covenant and
agree that they will not at any time  institute  against  the  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 other Basic Documents.

Section 10.18 Inspection. The Issuer agrees that, 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
and shall cause its  representatives  to hold in confidence all such information
except to the  extent  disclosure  may be  required  by law (and all  reasonable
applications for confidential treatment are unavailing) and except to the extent
that the Indenture  Trustee may  reasonably  determine  that such  disclosure is
consistent with its obligations hereunder.

        GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust  2000-HE2,  a business trust duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware  (herein referred to as the
"Issuer"),  for  value  received,  hereby  promises  to pay to Cede & Co. or its
registered  assigns,  the principal sum of four hundred  fifty-one  million four
hundred seventy-five  thousand dollars  ($451,475,000),  payable on each Payment
Date in an amount equal to the pro rata portion  allocable  hereto (based on the
Initial Note Balance  specified  above and the Initial Note Balance of all Class
A-1 Term Notes) of the aggregate  amount,  if any, payable from the Note Payment
Account in respect of principal  of the Class A-1 Term Notes (the "Term  Notes")
pursuant  to  Section  3.05 of the  indenture  dated  as of June 29,  2000  (the
"Indenture"),   between  the  Issuer  and  Norwest  Bank   Minnesota,   National

<PAGE>

Association, as indenture trustee (the "Indenture Trustee");  provided, however,
that the  entire  unpaid  principal  amount of this  Term Note  shall be due and
payable on the Payment Date in June 2030, to the extent not previously paid on a
prior Payment Date. Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined
shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in Appendix A to the Indenture.

        Interest on the Term Notes will be paid  monthly on each Payment Date at
the Note Rate for the related  Interest  Period subject to limitations  that may
result in Interest Shortfalls (as further described in the Indenture).  The Note
Rate for each Interest  Period will be a floating rate equal to the least of (i)
LIBOR plus 0.22% per annum (or,  for the  Interest  Period  beginning  after any
Payment Date on which the aggregate Pool Balance is less than 10% of the initial
Pool  Balance,  LIBOR  plus 0.44% per  annum),  (ii) the Net Loan Rate and (iii)
14.00% per annum.  LIBOR for each applicable  Interest Period will be determined
on the second LIBOR Business Day  immediately  preceding (i) the Closing Date in
the case of the first Interest  Period and (ii) the first day of each succeeding
Interest  Period by the  Indenture  Trustee as set forth in the  Indenture.  All
determinations  of LIBOR by the  Indenture  Trustee  shall,  in the  absence  of
manifest  error,  be conclusive  for all purposes,  and each holder of this Term
Note,  by accepting  this Term Note,  agrees to be bound by such  determination.
Interest  on this Term  Note will  accrue  for each  Payment  Date from the most
recent  Payment  Date on which  interest has been paid (in the case of the first
Payment  Date,  from the  Closing  Date) to but  excluding  such  Payment  Date.
Interest  will be  computed  on the basis of the  actual  number of days in each
Interest  Period and a year  assumed to  consist of 360 days.  Principal  of and
interest on this Term Note shall be paid in the manner  specified on the reverse
hereof.

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

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

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

        This Term Note is one of a duly  authorized  issue of Term  Notes of the
Issuer,  designated  as its GMACM Home Equity  Loan-Backed  Term  Notes,  Series
2000-HE2 (the "Series 2000-HE2 Term Notes"), all issued under the Indenture,  to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement  of the  respective  rights and  obligations  thereunder  of the
Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and the  Noteholders of the Series 2000-HE2 Term
Notes. The Series 2000-HE2 Term Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

<PAGE>

        The  Series   2000-HE2  Term  Notes  and  the  Variable   Funding  Notes
(collectively,  the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably  secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

        This  Term  Note is  entitled  to the  benefits  of an  irrevocable  and
unconditional  financial  guaranty  insurance  policy  issued by MBIA  Insurance
Corporation.

        Principal  of and  interest  on this Term Note will be  payable  on each
Payment  Date,  commencing  on July 25, 2000,  as  described  in the  Indenture.
"Payment Date" means the twenty-fifth day of each month, or, if any such date is
not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day.

        The entire  unpaid  principal  amount of this Term Note shall be due and
payable in full on the Payment Date in June 2030 pursuant to the  Indenture,  to
the extent not  previously  paid on a prior  Payment Date.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  then
the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the Noteholders of Notes representing not
less than a majority  of the  aggregate  Note  Balance  of the  Notes,  with the
consent of the Enhancer, may declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable
in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture.  All principal payments
on the  Term  Notes  shall be made pro  rata to the  Noteholders  of Term  Notes
entitled thereto.

        Any  installment of interest or principal,  if any,  payable on any Note
that is  punctually  paid or duly  provided for by the Issuer on the  applicable
Payment Date shall be paid to the related  Noteholder  on the  preceding  Record
Date,  by wire  transfer to an account  specified in writing by such  Noteholder
reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee as of the preceding Record Date
or, if no such  instructions  have been delivered to the Indenture  Trustee,  by
check or money order to such Noteholder mailed to such  Noteholder's  address as
it appears in the Note Register,  the amount  required to be distributed to such
Noteholder on such Payment Date pursuant to such Noteholder's  Notes;  provided,
however,  that the Indenture Trustee shall not pay to such Noteholder any amount
required  to be  withheld  from a payment to such  Noteholder  by the Code.  Any
reduction  in the  principal  amount  of  this  Term  Note  (or  any one or more
predecessor  Term Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall
be binding  upon all future  Noteholders  of this Term Note and of any Term Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof,  whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available,  as
provided  in the  Indenture,  for payment in full of the then  remaining  unpaid
principal  amount  of this  Term  Note on a  Payment  Date,  then the  Indenture
Trustee,  in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the  registered  Noteholder  hereof as of the  Record  Date  preceding  such
Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile  prior to such Payment
Date,  and  the  amount  then  due  and  payable  shall  be  payable  only  upon
presentation  and  surrender of this Term Note at the address  specified in such
notice of final payment.

        As provided in the  Indenture  and  subject to certain  limitations  set
forth  therein,  the  transfer of this Term Note may be  registered  on the Note
Register upon  surrender of this Term Note for  registration  of transfer at the
Corporate  Trust  Office  of  the  Indenture  Trustee,   duly  endorsed  by,  or
accompanied  by a written  instrument  of transfer in form  satisfactory  to the

<PAGE>

Indenture  Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder  hereof or such Noteholder's
attorney  duly  authorized  in writing,  with such  signature  guaranteed  by an
"eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar,
which  requirements  include  membership  or  participation  in  the  Securities
Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature  guarantee
program"  as may be  determined  by the Note  Registrar  in  addition  to, or in
substitution  for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and thereupon
one or more new Term Notes in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No
service charge will be charged for any  registration  of transfer or exchange of
this Term Note, 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 this Term Note.

        Each Noteholder or Beneficial Owner of a Term Note, by its acceptance of
a Term Note, or, in the case of a Beneficial  Owner of a Term Note, a beneficial
interest in a Term Note,  covenants  and agrees  that no recourse  may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee on the
Term Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing  delivered
in connection 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 or
employee  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 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.

        Each Noteholder or Beneficial Owner of a Term Note, by its acceptance of
a Term Note or, in the case of a  Beneficial  Owner of a Term Note, a beneficial
interest in a Term Note,  covenants  and agrees by accepting the benefits of the
Indenture  that  such  Noteholder  or  Beneficial  Owner  will  not at any  time
institute against the Depositor,  the Seller, the Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group,
Inc. or the  Issuer,  or join in any  institution  against  the  Depositor,  the
Seller,  the  Servicer,  GMAC  Mortgage  Group,  Inc.  or  the  Issuer  of,  any
bankruptcy,  reorganization,  arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any  obligations  relating to the Term Notes,  the  Indenture  or the other
Basic Documents.

        The Issuer has entered into the  Indenture  and this Term Note is issued
with the intention  that, for federal,  state and local income,  single business
and franchise tax purposes,  the Term Notes will qualify as  indebtedness of the
Issuer.  Each  Noteholder of a Term Note, by its  acceptance of a Term Note (and
each Beneficial Owner of a Term Note by its acceptance of a beneficial  interest
in a Term  Note),  agrees to treat the Term Notes for  federal,  state and local
income,  single  business  and  franchise  tax purposes as  indebtedness  of the
Issuer.

<PAGE>

        Prior to the due presentment  for  registration of transfer of this Term
Note,  the  Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  and any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture  Trustee  may treat the  Person in the name of which this Term Note is

representing  a  majority  of the  aggregate  Note  Balance  of the  Notes  then
Outstanding  and with prior notice to the Rating  Agencies.  The Indenture  also
contains provisions  permitting the Noteholders of Notes representing  specified

the Noteholders of all Series  2000-HE2 Term Notes,  to waive  compliance by the
Issuer with certain  provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults under
the  Indenture  and  their  consequences.  Any such  consent  or  waiver  by the
Noteholder of this Term Note (or any one of more  predecessor  Term Notes) shall
be conclusive and binding upon such  Noteholder and upon all future  Noteholders
of this Term Note and of any Term Note issued upon the  registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange  hereof or in lieu hereof  whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Term 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  Noteholders  of the Series
2000-HE2  Term  Notes  issued  thereunder  but with  prior  notice to the Rating
Agencies and the Enhancer.

        The term  "Issuer" as used in this Term Note  includes any  successor or
the Issuer under the Indenture.

        The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture,  under certain  circumstances,

provisions,  and the obligations,  rights and remedies of the parties  hereunder
and thereunder shall be determined in accordance with such laws.

        No reference  herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Term Note
or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the Issuer, which is

        GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust  2000-HE2,  a business trust duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware  (herein referred to as the
"Issuer"),  for  value  received,  hereby  promises  to pay to Cede & Co. or its
registered   assigns,   the  principal   sum  of  sixty  five  million   dollars
($65,000,000),  payable on each  Payment Date in an amount equal to the pro rata
portion  allocable hereto (based on the Initial Note Balance specified above and
the Initial Note Balance of all Class A-2 Term Notes) of the  aggregate  amount,
if any,  payable  from the Note  Payment  Account in respect of principal of the
Class  A-2 Term  Notes  (the  "Term  Notes")  pursuant  to  Section  3.05 of the
indenture  dated as of June 29, 2000 (the  "Indenture"),  between the Issuer and
Norwest  Bank  Minnesota,   National  Association,  as  indenture  trustee  (the
"Indenture Trustee"); provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount
of this Term Note shall be due and payable on the Payment Date in June 2030,  to
the extent not previously paid on a prior Payment Date.  Capitalized  terms used

        Interest on the Term Notes will be paid  monthly on each Payment Date at
the Note Rate for the related  Interest  Period subject to limitations  that may
result in Interest Shortfalls (as further described in the Indenture).  The Note
Rate for each Interest  Period will be a floating rate equal to the least of (i)
LIBOR plus 0.29% per annum (or,  for the  Interest  Period  beginning  after any
Payment Date on which the aggregate Pool Balance is less than 10% of the initial
Pool  Balance,  LIBOR  plus 0.58% per  annum),  (ii) the Net Loan Rate and (iii)
14.00% per annum.  LIBOR for each applicable  Interest Period will be determined
on the second LIBOR Business Day  immediately  preceding (i) the Closing Date in
the case of the first Interest  Period and (ii) the first day of each succeeding
Interest  Period by the  Indenture  Trustee as set forth in the  Indenture.  All
determinations  of LIBOR by the  Indenture  Trustee  shall,  in the  absence  of
manifest  error,  be conclusive  for all purposes,  and each holder of this Term
Note,  by accepting  this Term Note,  agrees to be bound by such  determination.
Interest  on this Term  Note will  accrue  for each  Payment  Date from the most
recent  Payment  Date on which  interest has been paid (in the case of the first
Payment  Date,  from the  Closing  Date) to but  excluding  such  Payment  Date.
Interest  will be  computed  on the basis of the  actual  number of days in each
Interest  Period and a year  assumed to  consist of 360 days.  Principal  of and
interest on this Term Note shall be paid in the manner  specified on the reverse
hereof.

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

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

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

        This Term Note is one of a duly  authorized  issue of Term  Notes of the
Issuer,  designated  as its GMACM Home Equity  Loan-Backed  Term  Notes,  Series
2000-HE2 (the "Series 2000-HE2 Term Notes"), all issued under the Indenture,  to
which Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made
for a statement  of the  respective  rights and  obligations  thereunder  of the
Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and the  Noteholders of the Series 2000-HE2 Term
Notes. The Series 2000-HE2 Term Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

        The  Series   2000-HE2  Term  Notes  and  the  Variable   Funding  Notes
(collectively,  the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably  secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

        This  Term  Note is  entitled  to the  benefits  of an  irrevocable  and
unconditional  financial  guaranty  insurance  policy  issued by MBIA  Insurance
Corporation.

                                        2
<PAGE>

        Principal  of and  interest  on this Term Note will be  payable  on each
Payment  Date,  commencing  on July 25, 2000,  as  described  in the  Indenture.
"Payment Date" means the twenty-fifth day of each month, or, if any such date is
not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day.

        The entire  unpaid  principal  amount of this Term Note shall be due and
payable in full on the Payment Date in June 2030 pursuant to the  Indenture,  to
the extent not  previously  paid on a prior  Payment Date.  Notwithstanding  the
foregoing,  if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,  then
the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the Noteholders of Notes representing not
less than a majority  of the  aggregate  Note  Balance  of the  Notes,  with the
consent of the Enhancer, may declare the Notes to be immediately due and payable
in the manner provided in Section 5.02 of the Indenture.  All principal payments
on the  Term  Notes  shall be made pro  rata to the  Noteholders  of Term  Notes
entitled thereto.

        Any  installment of interest or principal,  if any,  payable on any Note
that is  punctually  paid or duly  provided for by the Issuer on the  applicable
Payment Date shall be paid to the related  Noteholder  on the  preceding  Record
Date,  by wire  transfer to an account  specified in writing by such  Noteholder
reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee as of the preceding Record Date
or, if no such  instructions  have been delivered to the Indenture  Trustee,  by
check or money order to such Noteholder mailed to such  Noteholder's  address as
it appears in the Note Register,  the amount  required to be distributed to such
Noteholder on such Payment Date pursuant to such Noteholder's  Notes;  provided,
however,  that the Indenture Trustee shall not pay to such Noteholder any amount
required  to be  withheld  from a payment to such  Noteholder  by the Code.  Any
reduction  in the  principal  amount  of  this  Term  Note  (or  any one or more
predecessor  Term Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment Date shall
be binding  upon all future  Noteholders  of this Term Note and of any Term Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof,  whether or not noted hereon. If funds are expected to be available,  as
provided  in the  Indenture,  for payment in full of the then  remaining  unpaid
principal  amount  of this  Term  Note on a  Payment  Date,  then the  Indenture
Trustee,  in the name of and on behalf of the Issuer, will notify the Person who
was the  registered  Noteholder  hereof as of the  Record  Date  preceding  such
Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by facsimile  prior to such Payment
Date,  and  the  amount  then  due  and  payable  shall  be  payable  only  upon
presentation  and  surrender of this Term Note at the address  specified in such
notice of final payment.

        As provided in the  Indenture  and  subject to certain  limitations  set
forth  therein,  the  transfer of this Term Note may be  registered  on the Note
Register upon  surrender of this Term Note for  registration  of transfer at the
Corporate  Trust  Office  of  the  Indenture  Trustee,   duly  endorsed  by,  or
accompanied  by a written  instrument  of transfer in form  satisfactory  to the
Indenture  Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder  hereof or such Noteholder's
attorney  duly  authorized  in writing,  with such  signature  guaranteed  by an
"eligible guarantor institution" meeting the requirements of the Note Registrar,
which  requirements  include  membership  or  participation  in  the  Securities
Transfer Agent's Medallion Program ("STAMP") or such other "signature  guarantee
program"  as may be  determined  by the Note  Registrar  in  addition  to, or in
substitution  for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act, and thereupon
one or more new Term Notes in authorized denominations and in the same aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No

service charge will be charged for any  registration  of transfer or exchange of
this Term Note, 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 this Term Note.

        Each Noteholder or Beneficial Owner of a Term Note, by its acceptance of
a Term Note, or, in the case of a Beneficial  Owner of a Term Note, a beneficial
interest in a Term Note,  covenants  and agrees  that no recourse  may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee on the
Term Notes or under the Indenture or any certificate or other writing  delivered
in connection 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 or
employee  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 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.

        Each Noteholder or Beneficial Owner of a Term Note, by its acceptance of
a Term Note or, in the case of a  Beneficial  Owner of a Term Note, a beneficial
interest in a Term Note,  covenants  and agrees by accepting the benefits of the
Indenture  that  such  Noteholder  or  Beneficial  Owner  will  not at any  time
institute against the Depositor,  the Seller, the Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group,
Inc. or the  Issuer,  or join in any  institution  against  the  Depositor,  the
Seller,  the  Servicer,  GMAC  Mortgage  Group,  Inc.  or  the  Issuer  of,  any
bankruptcy,  reorganization,  arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any  obligations  relating to the Term Notes,  the  Indenture  or the other
Basic Documents.

        The Issuer has entered into the  Indenture  and this Term Note is issued
with the intention  that, for federal,  state and local income,  single business
and franchise tax purposes,  the Term Notes will qualify as  indebtedness of the
Issuer.  Each  Noteholder of a Term Note, by its  acceptance of a Term Note (and
each Beneficial Owner of a Term Note by its acceptance of a beneficial  interest
in a Term  Note),  agrees to treat the Term Notes for  federal,  state and local
income,  single  business  and  franchise  tax purposes as  indebtedness  of the
Issuer.

        Prior to the due presentment  for  registration of transfer of this Term
Note,  the  Issuer,  the  Indenture  Trustee  and any agent of the Issuer or the
Indenture  Trustee  may treat the  Person in the name of which this Term Note is
registered  (as of the day of  determination  or as of such other date as may be
specified in the Indenture) as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not
this Term Note be overdue,  and none of the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee or any
such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.

        The Indenture permits,  with certain  exceptions  therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and the rights of the Noteholders of the Series

Noteholder of this Term Note (or any one of more  predecessor  Term Notes) shall
be conclusive and binding upon such  Noteholder and upon all future  Noteholders
of this Term Note and of any Term Note issued upon the  registration of transfer
hereof or in exchange  hereof or in lieu hereof  whether or not notation of such
consent or waiver is made upon this Term Note.  The  Indenture  also permits the

prescribed.

        Anything  herein to the  contrary  notwithstanding,  except as expressly
provided  in the  Basic  Documents,  none of  Wilmington  Trust  Company  in its
individual  capacity,  Norwest  Bank  Minnesota,  National  Association  in  its

had to any of them for,  the  payment of  principal  of or interest on this Term
Note or the  performance  of, or the failure to perform,  any of the  covenants,
obligations or  indemnifications  contained in the Indenture.  The Noteholder of
this Term Note,  by its  acceptance  hereof,  agrees  that,  except as expressly
provided in the Basic  Documents,  in the case of an Event of Default  under the

FORTH HEREIN.  ACCORDINGLY,  THE OUTSTANDING  PRINCIPAL  AMOUNT OF THIS VARIABLE
FUNDING NOTE AT ANY TIME MAY BE LESS THAN THE AMOUNT SHOWN ON THE FACE HEREOF.

THIS  VARIABLE  FUNDING NOTE DOES NOT  REPRESENT AN INTEREST IN OR OBLIGATION OF
THE SELLER,  THE  DEPOSITOR,  THE  SERVICER,  THE INDENTURE  TRUSTEE,  THE OWNER
TRUSTEE OR GMAC  MORTGAGE  GROUP,  INC. OR ANY OF THEIR  RESPECTIVE  AFFILIATES,

Registered                       Aggregate Class I and Class II Variable

No.VFN 1                         Note Rate:  Floating

        GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust  2000-HE2,  a business trust duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware  (herein referred to as the
"Issuer"),  for  value  received,  hereby  promises  to  pay  to  GMAC  Mortgage
Corporation  or its  registered  assigns,  the  principal  amount  set  forth on
Schedule A attached hereto (or otherwise owing hereunder as determined  pursuant
to the  Indenture as defined  below),  payable on each Payment Date in an amount
equal to the pro rata portion  allocable  hereto (based on the Variable  Funding
Balances  of  all  Variable  Funding  Notes  related  to  the  same  Loan  Group
immediately prior to such Payment Date) of the aggregate amount, if any, payable
from the Note Payment  Account in respect of  principal on the Variable  Funding
Note,  Class I (the "Variable  Funding  Notes")  pursuant to Section 3.05 of the
indenture  dated as of June 29, 2000 (the  "Indenture"),  between the Issuer and
Norwest  Bank  Minnesota,   National  Association,  as  indenture  trustee  (the
"Indenture Trustee"); provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount
of this  Variable  Funding  Note shall be due and payable on the Payment Date in
June  2030,  to  the  extent  not  previously  paid  on a  prior  Payment  Date.
Capitalized  terms used herein that are not otherwise  defined have the meanings
ascribed thereto in Appendix A to the Indenture.

<PAGE>
               Interest on this  Variable  Funding  Note will be paid monthly on
each Payment Date at the Note Rate for the related Interest  Period,  subject to
limitations that may result in Interest  Shortfalls (as further described in the
Indenture). The Note Rate for each Interest Period will be a floating rate equal
to the rate determined in accordance with the Indenture, which shall be not more
than the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.22% per annum (or,  for the  Interest  Period
beginning  after any Payment  Date on which the  aggregate  Pool Balance is less
than 10% of the initial Pool Balance,  LIBOR plus 0.44% per annum), (ii) the Net
Loan  Rate and  (iii)  14.00%  per  annum.  All  determinations  of LIBOR by the
Indenture Trustee shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes,  and each Noteholder of this Variable  Funding Note, by accepting this
Variable  Funding Note,  agrees to be bound by such  determination.  Interest on
this  Variable  Funding  Note will  accrue for each  Payment  Date from the most
recent  Payment  Date on which  interest  has been paid (or,  in the case of the
First Payment Date,  from the Closing Date) to but excluding  such Payment Date.
Interest  will be  computed  on the basis of the  actual  number of days in each
Interest  Period and a year  assumed to  consist of 360 days.  Principal  of and
interest on this Variable  Funding Note shall be paid in the manner specified on
the reverse hereof.

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

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

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

               This Variable  Funding Note is one of a duly authorized  issue of
Variable  Funding  Notes of the  Issuer,  designated  as its GMACM  Home  Equity
Loan-Backed  Variable Funding Notes,  Series 2000-HE2 (herein called the "Series
2000-HE2  Variable  Funding  Notes"),  all issued under the Indenture,  to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
statement of the respective rights and obligations thereunder of the Issuer, the
Indenture  Trustee and the Noteholders of the Series 2000-HE2  Variable  Funding
Notes.  The Series 2000-HE2  Variable  Funding Notes are subject to all terms of
the Indenture.

               The Series  2000-HE2  Variable  Funding  Notes and the Term Notes
(collectively,  the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably  secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

<PAGE>

               This  Variable  Funding  Note is entitled  to the  benefits of an
irrevocable and unconditional financial guaranty insurance policy issued by MBIA
Insurance Corporation.

               Principal of and interest on this  Variable  Funding Note will be
payable on each Payment  Date,  commencing on July 25, 2000, as described in the
Indenture.  "Payment Date" means the  twenty-fifth day of each month, or, if any
such day is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day.

               The entire unpaid  principal amount of this Variable Funding Note
shall be due and  payable in full on the Payment  Date in June 2030  pursuant to
the  Indenture,  to the  extent not  previously  paid on a prior  Payment  Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the Noteholders of Notes
representing  not less than a  majority  of the  aggregate  Note  Balance of the
Notes, with the consent of the Enhancer, may declare the Notes to be immediately
due and payable in the manner  provided in Section  5.02 of the  Indenture.  All
principal  payments on the Variable  Funding Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of Variable Funding Notes entitled thereto.

               Payments  of  interest  on this  Variable  Funding  Note  due and
payable on each Payment Date,  together with the  installment  of principal,  if
any, to the extent not in full payment of this Variable  Funding Note,  shall be
made by  check  mailed  to the  Person  whose  name  appears  as the  registered
Noteholder of this Variable Funding Note (or one or more  Predecessor  Notes) on
the Note Register as of the close of business on each Record Date. Any reduction
in the  principal  amount  of this  Variable  Funding  Note  (or any one or more
predecessor Variable Funding Notes) effected by any payments made on any Payment
Date shall be binding upon all future  noteholders of this Variable Funding Note
and of any Variable Funding Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof
or in exchange hereof or in lieu hereof,  whether or not noted hereon.  If funds
are expected to be available, as provided in the Indenture,  for payment in full
of the then remaining unpaid principal amount of this Variable Funding Note on a
Payment Date,  then the Indenture  Trustee,  in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer,  will notify the Person who was the registered  Noteholder  hereof as of
the Record Date  preceding  such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by
facsimile  prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable  shall
be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Variable Funding Note at
the address specified in such notice of final payment.

               As provided in the Indenture  and subject to certain  limitations
set forth therein,  the transfer of this Variable Funding Note may be registered
on  the  Note  Register  upon  surrender  of  this  Variable  Funding  Note  for
registration of transfer at the Corporate Trust Office of the Indenture Trustee,
duly endorsed by, and  accompanied  by a written  instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or
such  Noteholder's  attorney  duly  authorized in writing,  with such  signature
guaranteed by an "eligible  guarantor  institution"  meeting the requirements of
the Note Registrar,  which  requirements  include membership or participation in
the  Securities  Transfer  Agent's  Medallion  Program  ("STAMP")  or such other
"signature  guarantee  program" as may be  determined  by the Note  Registrar in
addition  to,  or in  substitution  for,  STAMP,  all  in  accordance  with  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended,  and  thereupon  one or more new
Variable  Funding Notes in authorized  denominations  and in the same  aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No
service charge will be charged for any  registration  of transfer or exchange of
this Variable  Funding Note, 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 this  Variable
Funding Note.

<PAGE>

               Each Noteholder of a Variable  Funding Note, by its acceptance of
a Variable  Funding  Note,  covenants  and agrees that no recourse may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee on the
Variable  Funding  Notes or under  the  Indenture  or any  certificate  or other
writing delivered in connection 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  or  employee  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 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.

               Each  Noteholder of a Variable  Funding Note covenants and agrees
by accepting the benefits of the Indenture that such  Noteholder will not at any
time institute against the Depositor,  the Seller,  the Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage
Group, Inc. or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor, the
Seller,  the  Servicer,  GMAC  Mortgage  Group,  Inc.  or  the  Issuer  of,  any
bankruptcy,  reorganization,  arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations  relating to the Variable  Funding Notes,  the Indenture or
the other Basic Documents.

               No  transfer,  sale,  pledge or other  disposition  of a Variable
Funding  Note  shall  be made  unless  such  transfer,  sale,  pledge  or  other
disposition is exempt from the registration  requirements of the Securities Act,
and any applicable  state securities laws or is made in accordance with said Act
and laws. In the event of any such transfer, the Indenture Trustee or the Issuer
shall require the  transferee to execute  either (i)(a) an investment  letter in
substantially  the form  attached to the Indenture as Exhibit B (or in such form
and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer)
which  investment  letters  shall  not be an  expense  of the  Trust,  the Owner
Trustee,  the Indenture Trustee,  the Servicer,  the Depositor or the Issuer and
which investment letter states that, among other things,  such transferee (a) is
a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own
account or the  accounts of other  "qualified  institutional  buyers" as defined
under Rule 144A, and (b) is aware that the proposed  transferor  intends to rely
on the  exemption  from  registration  requirements  under the  Securities  Act,
provided by Rule 144A or (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall require the transferee
to execute an investment  letter in  substantially  the form of Exhibit C to the
Indenture,  acceptable to and in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee  certifying to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee the facts  surrounding such transfer,  which investment letter shall not
be an expense  of the  Indenture  Trustee or the  Issuer.  Any  Noteholder  of a
Variable  Funding  Note that does not  execute  such a  certificate  or transfer
letter shall be deemed to have made the representations  set forth therein.  The
Noteholder of a Variable  Funding Note  desiring to effect such transfer  shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee,  the Enhancer and the
Issuer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or
is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.
               The Issuer  has  entered  into the  Indenture  and this  Variable
Funding Note is issued with the  intention  that,  for federal,  state and local
income,  single business and franchise tax purposes,  the Variable Funding Notes
will  qualify as  indebtedness  of the  Issuer.  Each  Noteholder  of a Variable
Funding Note, by its acceptance of a Variable Funding Note,  agrees to treat the
Variable Funding Notes for federal,  state and local income, single business and
franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

<PAGE>
               Prior to the due presentment for registration of transfer of this
Variable  Funding Note, the Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Variable
Funding Note (as of the day of  determination or as of such other date as may be
specified in the  Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this  Variable  Funding Note be overdue,  and none of the Issuer,
the  Indenture  Trustee or any such  agent  shall be  affected  by notice to the
contrary.

               The  Indenture  permits,   with  certain  exceptions  as  therein
provided,  the  amendment  thereof  and  the  modification  of  the  rights  and
obligations  of the  Issuer  and the  Indenture  Trustee  and the  rights of the
Noteholders of the Series 2000-HE2 Variable Funding Notes under the Indenture at
any  time by the  Issuer  and the  Indenture  Trustee  with the  consent  of the
Enhancer and the  Noteholders of Notes  representing a majority of the aggregate
Note Balance of the Notes at the time  Outstanding  and with prior notice to the
Rating  Agencies.   The  Indenture  also  contains  provisions   permitting  the
Noteholders of Notes  representing  specified  percentages of the aggregate Note
Balance  of the  Series  2000-HE2  Variable  Funding  Notes,  on  behalf  of the
Noteholders of all Series 2000-HE2  Variable  Funding Notes, to waive compliance
by the Issuer with certain provisions of the Indenture and certain past defaults
under the  Indenture and their  consequences.  Any such consent or waiver by the
Noteholder  of this  Variable  Funding  Note  (or  any  one of more  predecessor
Variable Funding Notes) shall be conclusive and binding upon such Noteholder and
upon all future  Noteholders  of this Variable  Funding Note and of any Variable
Funding  Note issued  upon the  registration  of transfer  hereof or in exchange
hereof or in lieu  hereof,  whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is
made upon this Variable  Funding Note.  The Indenture also permits the Indenture
Trustee  to  amend  or waive  certain  terms  and  conditions  set  forth in the
Indenture  without the consent of  Noteholders of the Series  2000-HE2  Variable
Funding Notes issued thereunder but with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and
the Enhancer.

               The term "Issuer" as used in this Variable  Funding Note includes
any successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

               The  Issuer  is  permitted  by  the   Indenture,   under  certain
circumstances,  to merge or consolidate,  subject to the rights of the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders of Variable Funding Notes under the Indenture.

<PAGE>

               The Variable  Funding Notes are issuable only in registered  form
in  denominations as provided in the Indenture,  subject to certain  limitations
therein set forth.

               This Variable  Funding Note and the Indenture  shall be construed
in accordance with the laws of the State of New York,  without  reference to its
conflicts of law  provisions,  and the  obligations,  rights and remedies of the
parties  hereunder and  thereunder  shall be determined in accordance  with such
laws.

               No  reference  herein to the  Indenture  and no provision of this
Variable  Funding Note or of the Indenture  shall alter or impair the obligation
of the Issuer, which is absolute and unconditional,  to pay the principal of and
interest on this Variable Funding Note at the times,  place and rate, and in the
coin or currency herein prescribed.

               Anything  herein  to  the  contrary  notwithstanding,  except  as
expressly  provided in the Basic Documents,  none of Wilmington Trust Company in
its individual  capacity,  Norwest Bank Minnesota,  National  Association in its
individual capacity, any owner of a beneficial interest in the Issuer, or any of
their respective partners, beneficiaries, agents, officers, directors, employees
or successors or assigns shall be personally  liable for, nor shall  recourse be
had to any of them for, the payment of principal of or interest on this Variable
Funding Note or  performance  of, or omission to perform,  any of the covenants,
obligations or  indemnifications  contained in the Indenture.  The Noteholder of
this  Variable  Funding Note by its  acceptance  hereof  agrees that,  except as
expressly  provided in the Basic  Documents,  in the case of an Event of Default
under the  Indenture,  such  Noteholder  shall have no claim  against any of the
foregoing for any deficiency,  loss or claim therefrom;  provided, however, that
nothing  contained herein shall be taken to prevent recourse to, and enforcement
against,  the assets of the Issuer for any and all liabilities,  obligations and
undertakings contained in the Indenture or in this Variable Funding Note.

<PAGE>

               IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the Owner Trustee,  on behalf of the Issuer
and not in its individual capacity,  has caused this Variable Funding Note to be
duly executed.

        GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust  2000-HE2,  a business trust duly organized
and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware  (herein referred to as the
"Issuer"),  for  value  received,  hereby  promises  to  pay  to  GMAC  Mortgage
Corporation  or its  registered  assigns,  the  principal  amount  set  forth on
Schedule A attached hereto (or otherwise owing hereunder as determined  pursuant
to the  Indenture as defined  below),  payable on each Payment Date in an amount
equal to the pro rata portion  allocable  hereto (based on the Variable  Funding
Balances  of  all  Variable  Funding  Notes  related  to  the  same  Loan  Group
immediately prior to such Payment Date) of the aggregate amount, if any, payable
from the Note Payment  Account in respect of  principal on the Variable  Funding
Note,  Class II (the "Variable  Funding Notes")  pursuant to Section 3.05 of the
indenture  dated as of June 29, 2000 (the  "Indenture"),  between the Issuer and
Norwest  Bank  Minnesota,   National  Association,  as  indenture  trustee  (the
"Indenture Trustee"); provided, however, that the entire unpaid principal amount
of this  Variable  Funding  Note shall be due and payable on the Payment Date in
June  2030,  to  the  extent  not  previously  paid  on a  prior  Payment  Date.
Capitalized  terms used herein that are not otherwise  defined have the meanings
ascribed thereto in Appendix A to the Indenture.

<PAGE>

        Interest  on this  Variable  Funding  Note will be paid  monthly on each
Payment  Date at the Note  Rate for the  related  Interest  Period,  subject  to
limitations that may result in Interest  Shortfalls (as further described in the
Indenture). The Note Rate for each Interest Period will be a floating rate equal
to the rate determined in accordance with the Indenture, which shall be not more
than the least of (i) LIBOR plus 0.29% per annum (or,  for the  Interest  Period
beginning  after any Payment  Date on which the  aggregate  Pool Balance is less
than 10% of the initial Pool Balance,  LIBOR plus 0.58% per annum), (ii) the Net
Loan  Rate and  (iii)  14.00%  per  annum.  All  determinations  of LIBOR by the
Indenture Trustee shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive for all
purposes,  and each Noteholder of this Variable  Funding Note, by accepting this
Variable  Funding Note,  agrees to be bound by such  determination.  Interest on
this  Variable  Funding  Note will  accrue for each  Payment  Date from the most
recent  Payment  Date on which  interest  has been paid (or,  in the case of the
First Payment Date,  from the Closing Date) to but excluding  such Payment Date.
Interest  will be  computed  on the basis of the  actual  number of days in each
Interest  Period and a year  assumed to  consist of 360 days.  Principal  of and
interest on this Variable  Funding Note shall be paid in the manner specified on
the reverse hereof.

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

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

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

        This Variable Funding Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Variable
Funding  Notes of the Issuer,  designated  as its GMACM Home Equity  Loan-Backed
Variable  Funding Notes,  Series  2000-HE2  (herein called the "Series  2000-HE2
Variable Funding Notes"), all issued under the Indenture, to which Indenture and
all indentures  supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of
the respective  rights and obligations  thereunder of the Issuer,  the Indenture
Trustee and the Noteholders of the Series 2000-HE2  Variable  Funding Notes. The
Series  2000-HE2  Variable  Funding  Notes  are  subject  to  all  terms  of the
Indenture.

        The  Series  2000-HE2   Variable   Funding  Notes  and  the  Term  Notes
(collectively,  the "Notes") are and will be equally and ratably  secured by the
collateral pledged as security therefor as provided in the Indenture.

        This Variable Funding Note is entitled to the benefits of an irrevocable
and unconditional  financial  guaranty insurance policy issued by MBIA Insurance
Corporation.

                                        2

<PAGE>

        Principal of and interest on this Variable  Funding Note will be payable
on each  Payment  Date,  commencing  on  July  25,  2000,  as  described  in the
Indenture.  "Payment Date" means the  twenty-fifth day of each month, or, if any
such day is not a Business Day, then the next succeeding Business Day.

        The entire unpaid  principal  amount of this Variable Funding Note shall
be due and  payable in full on the  Payment  Date in June 2030  pursuant  to the
Indenture,  to  the  extent  not  previously  paid  on  a  prior  Payment  Date.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, then the Indenture Trustee, the Enhancer or the Noteholders of Notes
representing  not less than a  majority  of the  aggregate  Note  Balance of the
Notes, with the consent of the Enhancer, may declare the Notes to be immediately
due and payable in the manner  provided in Section  5.02 of the  Indenture.  All
principal  payments on the Variable  Funding Notes shall be made pro rata to the
Noteholders of Variable Funding Notes entitled thereto.

        Payments of interest on this  Variable  Funding  Note due and payable on
each Payment Date,  together with the  installment of principal,  if any, to the
extent not in full payment of this Variable Funding Note, shall be made by check
mailed to the Person whose name  appears as the  registered  Noteholder  of this
Variable Funding Note (or one or more Predecessor Notes) on the Note Register as
of the close of business on each Record Date.  Any  reduction  in the  principal
amount of this Variable  Funding Note (or any one or more  predecessor  Variable
Funding  Notes)  effected  by any  payments  made on any  Payment  Date shall be
binding upon all future  noteholders  of this  Variable  Funding Note and of any
Variable  Funding  Note issued upon the  registration  of transfer  hereof or in
exchange  hereof or in lieu hereof,  whether or not noted  hereon.  If funds are
expected to be available,  as provided in the Indenture,  for payment in full of
the then remaining  unpaid  principal  amount of this Variable Funding Note on a
Payment Date,  then the Indenture  Trustee,  in the name of and on behalf of the
Issuer,  will notify the Person who was the registered  Noteholder  hereof as of
the Record Date  preceding  such Payment Date by notice mailed or transmitted by
facsimile  prior to such Payment Date and the amount then due and payable  shall
be payable only upon presentation and surrender of this Variable Funding Note at
the address specified in such notice of final payment.

        As provided in the  Indenture  and  subject to certain  limitations  set
forth therein,  the transfer of this Variable  Funding Note may be registered on
the Note Register upon surrender of this Variable  Funding Note for registration
of  transfer  at the  Corporate  Trust  Office of the  Indenture  Trustee,  duly
endorsed  by,  and  accompanied  by a written  instrument  of  transfer  in form
satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee duly executed by, the Noteholder hereof or
such  Noteholder's  attorney  duly  authorized in writing,  with such  signature
guaranteed by an "eligible  guarantor  institution"  meeting the requirements of
the Note Registrar,  which  requirements  include membership or participation in
the  Securities  Transfer  Agent's  Medallion  Program  ("STAMP")  or such other
"signature  guarantee  program" as may be  determined  by the Note  Registrar in
addition  to,  or in  substitution  for,  STAMP,  all  in  accordance  with  the
Securities  Exchange  Act of 1934,  as amended,  and  thereupon  one or more new
Variable  Funding Notes in authorized  denominations  and in the same  aggregate
principal amount will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.  No
service charge will be charged for any  registration  of transfer or exchange of
this Variable  Funding Note, 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 this  Variable
Funding Note.

        Each  Noteholder  of a Variable  Funding  Note,  by its  acceptance of a
Variable  Funding  Note,  covenants  and agrees that no  recourse  may be taken,
directly or indirectly, with respect to the obligations of the Issuer, the Owner
Trustee, the Seller, the Servicer, the Depositor or the Indenture Trustee on the
Variable  Funding  Notes or under  the  Indenture  or any  certificate  or other
writing delivered in connection 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  or  employee  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 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.

        Each  Noteholder  of a Variable  Funding  Note  covenants  and agrees by
accepting the benefits of the  Indenture  that such  Noteholder  will not at any
time institute against the Depositor,  the Seller,  the Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage
Group, Inc. or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor, the
Seller,  the  Servicer,  GMAC  Mortgage  Group,  Inc.  or  the  Issuer  of,  any
bankruptcy,  reorganization,  arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings
under any United States federal or state bankruptcy or similar law in connection
with any obligations  relating to the Variable  Funding Notes,  the Indenture or
the other Basic Documents.

        No transfer,  sale,  pledge or other  disposition of a Variable  Funding
Note shall be made unless such transfer,  sale,  pledge or other  disposition is
exempt  from  the  registration  requirements  of the  Securities  Act,  and any
applicable  state  securities  laws or is made in  accordance  with said Act and
laws. In the event of any such  transfer,  the  Indenture  Trustee or the Issuer
shall require the  transferee to execute  either (i)(a) an investment  letter in
substantially  the form  attached to the Indenture as Exhibit B (or in such form
and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee and the Issuer)
which  investment  letters  shall  not be an  expense  of the  Trust,  the Owner
Trustee,  the Indenture Trustee,  the Servicer,  the Depositor or the Issuer and
which investment letter states that, among other things,  such transferee (a) is
a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined under Rule 144A, acting for its own
account or the  accounts of other  "qualified  institutional  buyers" as defined
under Rule 144A, and (b) is aware that the proposed  transferor  intends to rely
on the  exemption  from  registration  requirements  under the  Securities  Act,
provided by Rule 144A or (ii) the Indenture Trustee shall require the transferee
to execute an investment  letter in  substantially  the form of Exhibit C to the
Indenture,  acceptable to and in form and substance  reasonably  satisfactory to
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee  certifying to the Issuer and the Indenture
Trustee the facts  surrounding such transfer,  which investment letter shall not
be an expense  of the  Indenture  Trustee or the  Issuer.  Any  Noteholder  of a
Variable  Funding  Note that does not  execute  such a  certificate  or transfer
letter shall be deemed to have made the representations  set forth therein.  The
Noteholder of a Variable  Funding Note  desiring to effect such transfer  shall,
and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Indenture Trustee,  the Enhancer and the
Issuer against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt or
is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

        The Issuer has entered into the Indenture and this Variable Funding Note
is issued with the intention that, for federal,  state and local income,  single
business and franchise tax purposes,  the Variable Funding Notes will qualify as
indebtedness of the Issuer.  Each Noteholder of a Variable  Funding Note, by its
acceptance  of a Variable  Funding  Note,  agrees to treat the Variable  Funding
Notes for federal,  state and local  income,  single  business and franchise tax
purposes as indebtedness of the Issuer.

        Prior  to the due  presentment  for  registration  of  transfer  of this
Variable  Funding Note, the Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee and any agent of the
Issuer or the Indenture Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Variable
Funding Note (as of the day of  determination or as of such other date as may be
specified in the  Indenture) is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes,
whether or not this  Variable  Funding Note be overdue,  and none of the Issuer,
the  Indenture  Trustee or any such  agent  shall be  affected  by notice to the
contrary.

        The Indenture permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided,  the
amendment  thereof and the  modification  of the rights and  obligations  of the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee and the rights of the Noteholders of the Series
2000-HE2  Variable  Funding  Notes under the Indenture at any time by the Issuer
and the Indenture  Trustee with the consent of the Enhancer and the  Noteholders
of Notes  representing  a majority of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes at
the time Outstanding and with prior notice to the Rating Agencies. The Indenture
also  contains  provisions  permitting  the  Noteholders  of Notes  representing
specified  percentages of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes,  on behalf of
the  Noteholders  of all Notes,  to waive  compliance by the Issuer with certain
provisions of the  Indenture  and certain past defaults  under the Indenture and
their  consequences.  Any such  consent  or  waiver  by the  Noteholder  of this
Variable  Funding Note (or any one of more  predecessor  Variable Funding Notes)
shall be  conclusive  and  binding  upon  such  Noteholder  and upon all  future
Noteholders  of this  Variable  Funding  Note and of any  Variable  Funding Note
issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange hereof or in lieu
hereof,  whether  or not  notation  of such  consent or waiver is made upon this
Variable Funding Note. The Indenture also permits the Indenture Trustee to amend
or waive certain  terms and  conditions  set forth in the Indenture  without the
consent of  Noteholders  of the Series  2000-HE2  Variable  Funding Notes issued
thereunder but with prior notice to the Rating Agencies and the Enhancer.

        The term  "Issuer" as used in this  Variable  Funding Note  includes any
successor to the Issuer under the Indenture.

        The Issuer is permitted by the Indenture,  under certain  circumstances,
to merge or consolidate,  subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders of Variable Funding Notes under the Indenture.

        The Variable  Funding  Notes are  issuable  only in  registered  form in
denominations  as  provided  in the  Indenture,  subject to certain  limitations
therein set forth.

(a) The Seller,  by the  execution and delivery of this  Agreement,  does hereby

all of its  right,  title and  interest  in, to and  under  the  following,  and
wherever  located:  (i) the Initial  Mortgage Loans  (including the Cut-Off Date
Principal Balances now existing and all Additional  Balances  thereafter arising

interest  of the Seller in any  insurance  policies  in  respect of the  Initial
Mortgage Loans; and (iii) all proceeds of the foregoing; provided, however, that
the Purchaser does not assume the obligation under each Loan Agreement  relating
to a HELOC to fund Draws to the Mortgagor  thereunder,  and the Purchaser  shall
not be obligated  or permitted to fund any such Draws,  it being agreed that the
Seller will retain the obligation to fund future Draws. Such conveyance shall be
deemed to be made: (1) with respect to the Cut-Off Date Principal  Balances,  as
of the  Closing  Date;  and (2) with  respect to the  amount of each  Additional
Balance  created on or after the Cut-Off Date and prior to the  commencement  of
the Rapid Amortization  Period, as of the later of the Closing Date and the date
that the  corresponding  Draw was made  pursuant to the related Loan  Agreement,
subject to the  receipt  by the Seller of  consideration  therefor  as  provided
herein under clause (a) of Section 2.6.

        In addition,  the Issuer shall deposit with the  Indenture  Trustee from
proceeds of the issuance of the  Securities on the Closing Date (i) the Original
Pre-Funded  Amount for deposit in the Pre-Funding  Account and (ii) the Interest
Coverage Amount for deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account.

(b) In  connection  with the  conveyance  by the Seller of the Initial  Mortgage
Loans and any Subsequent  Mortgage Loans, the Seller further agrees,  at its own
expense,  on or prior to the Closing Date with respect to the Principal Balances
of the Initial Mortgage Loans and on or prior to the related  Subsequent Cut-Off
Date in the case of any Subsequent  Mortgage Loans, to indicate in its books and
records that the Initial Mortgage Loans have been sold to the Purchaser pursuant
to this  Agreement,  and, in the case of the Subsequent  Mortgage  Loans, to the
Issuer pursuant to the related Subsequent Transfer Agreement,  and to deliver to
the Purchaser true and complete  lists of all of the Mortgage  Loans  specifying
for each Mortgage Loan (i) its account  number,  (ii) its Cut-Off Date Principal
Balance or Subsequent Cut-Off Date Principal Balance and (iii) the Loan Group or
Loan Groups to which such Subsequent  Mortgage Loans relate.  Such lists,  which
form part of the Mortgage  Loan  Schedule,  shall be marked as Exhibit 1 to this
Agreement and are hereby incorporated into and made a part of this Agreement.

(c) In  connection  with the  conveyance  by the Seller of the Initial  Mortgage
Loans and any  Subsequent  Mortgage  Loans,  the  Seller  shall on behalf of the
Purchaser deliver to, and deposit with the Custodian, at least five (5) Business
Days before the Closing Date in the case of an Initial  Mortgage  Loan,  and, on
behalf of the Issuer,  three (3) Business  Days prior to the related  Subsequent
Transfer  Date in the case of a Subsequent  Mortgage  Loan,  with respect to (i)
below,  or within 150 days of the Closing Date or the Subsequent  Transfer Date,
as the case may be,  with  respect  to (ii)  through  (v) below,  the  following
documents or instruments with respect to each related Mortgage Loan:

(i)     the original Loan  Agreement  endorsed or assigned  without  recourse in
        blank (which endorsement shall contain either an original signature or a
        facsimile  signature  of an  authorized  officer of the Seller) or, with
        respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the original Loan Agreement has
        been  permanently  lost or destroyed and has not been  replaced,  a Lost
        Note Affidavit;

                                        3

<PAGE>

(ii)    the original  Mortgage  with evidence of recording  thereon,  or, if the
        original  Mortgage has not yet been returned  from the public  recording
        office,  a copy of the  original  Mortgage  certified by the Seller that
        such Mortgage has been sent for recording, or a county certified copy of
        such Mortgage in the event the recording office keeps the original or if
        the original is lost;

(iii)   assignments (which may be included in one or more blanket assignments if
        permitted by applicable law) of the Mortgage in recordable form from the
        Seller to "Norwest Bank Minnesota,  National  Association,  as Indenture
        Trustee  under that certain  Indenture  dated as of June 29,  2000,  for
        GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust  2000-HE2,  Home  Equity  Loan-Backed  Term
        Notes" c/o the Servicer at an address specified by the Servicer;

(iv)    originals  of any  intervening  assignments  of the  Mortgage  from  the
        originator to the Seller, with evidence of recording thereon, or, if the
        original of any such  intervening  assignment  has not yet been returned
        from the public recording  office,  a copy of such original  intervening
        assignment  certified  by the  Seller  that  such  original  intervening
        assignment has been sent for recording; and

(v)     a true and correct copy of each assumption, modification,  consolidation
        or substitution agreement, if any, relating to such Mortgage Loan.

        Within the time period for the review of each Mortgage File set forth in
Section 2.2 of the  Custodial  Agreement,  if a material  defect in any Mortgage
File is discovered  which may materially  and adversely  affect the value of the
related Mortgage Loan, or the interests of the Indenture  Trustee (as pledgee of
the Mortgage Loans), the Noteholders,  the Certificateholders or the Enhancer in
such  Mortgage  Loan,  including  the  Seller's  failure to deliver any document
required to be delivered to the  Custodian  on behalf of the  Indenture  Trustee
(provided,  that a  Mortgage  File will not be deemed to contain a defect for an
unrecorded  assignment  under clause (iv) above if the Seller has submitted such
assignment for recording pursuant to the terms of the following paragraph),  the
Seller  shall cure such  defect,  repurchase  the related  Mortgage  Loan at the
Repurchase  Price or  substitute an Eligible  Substitute  Loan therefor upon the
same terms and  conditions  set forth in Section  3.1  hereof  for  breaches  of
representations and warranties as to the Mortgage Loans.

        In  instances  where an original  Mortgage or any  original  intervening
assignment of Mortgage was not, in  accordance  with clauses (ii) or (iv) above,
delivered by the Seller to the  Custodian  contemporaneously  with the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the Seller will deliver or cause to be delivered
the originals or certified  copies of such  documents to the Custodian  promptly
upon receipt thereof.

        Upon sale of the Initial  Mortgage  Loans,  the  ownership  of each Loan
Agreement,  each related  Mortgage and the contents of the related Mortgage File
shall be vested in the  Purchaser and the ownership of all records and documents
with  respect to the Initial  Mortgage  Loans that are  prepared by or that come
into the  possession  of the  Seller  as seller of the  Initial  Mortgage  Loans
hereunder or in its capacity as Servicer  under the  Servicing  Agreement  shall
immediately vest in the Purchaser, and shall be retained and maintained in trust
by the Seller or the Servicer at the will of the  Purchaser,  in such  custodial

                                        4

<PAGE>

capacity  only.  In the event  that any  original  document  held by the  Seller
hereunder in its capacity as Servicer is required  pursuant to the terms of this
Section to be part of a Mortgage File, such document shall be delivered promptly
to the Custodian.  The Seller's records will accurately reflect the sale of each
Initial Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser.

        The Purchaser hereby acknowledges its acceptance of all right, title and
interest to the property conveyed to it pursuant to this Section 2.1.

(d) The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth herein  constitute
a sale by the  Seller to the  Purchaser  of all the  Seller's  right,  title and
interest in and to the Initial  Mortgage  Loans and other property as and to the
extent  described  above.  In the event the  transactions  set forth  herein are
deemed not to be a sale,  the Seller  hereby  grants to the Purchaser a security
interest in all of the Seller's  right,  title and interest in, to and under all
accounts, chattel papers, general intangibles,  contract rights, certificates of
deposit,  deposit accounts,  instruments,  documents,  letters of credit, money,
advices of credit,  investment property, goods and other property consisting of,
arising under or related to the Initial  Mortgage Loans and such other property,
to secure all of the Seller's  obligations  hereunder,  and this Agreement shall
and hereby does constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller
agrees to take or cause to be taken such actions and to execute such  documents,
including  without  limitation the filing of any  continuation  statements  with
respect to the UCC-1  financing  statements  filed with  respect to the  Initial
Mortgage Loans by the Purchaser on the Closing Date, and any amendments  thereto
required to reflect a change in the name or corporate structure of the Seller or
the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing statements due to the change in the
principal  office of the  Seller,  as are  necessary  to perfect and protect the
Purchaser's interests in each Initial Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof.

Section 2.2    Sale of Subsequent Mortgage Loans.

(a) Subject to the  conditions  set forth in  paragraphs  (b) and (c) below (the
satisfaction of which (other than the conditions specified in paragraphs (b)(i),
(b)(ii),  (b)(iii),  (b)(vi),  (b)(vii) and  (c)(iii))  shall be evidenced by an
Officer's  Certificate  of the Seller  dated the date of the related  Subsequent
Transfer Date), in  consideration  of the Issuer's payment of the purchase price
provided  for in Section  2.6 on one or more  Subsequent  Transfer  Dates  using
amounts on deposit in the  Pre-Funding  Account,  the Custodial  Account (to the
extent permitted by the Servicing  Agreement) or the Funding Account, the Seller
may, on the related Subsequent Transfer Date, sell,  transfer,  assign, set over
and convey  without  recourse  to the Issuer but  subject to the other terms and
provisions of this Agreement all of the right,  title and interest of the Seller
in and to (i) Subsequent  Mortgage Loans identified on the related Mortgage Loan
Schedule attached to the related Subsequent  Transfer Agreement delivered by the
Seller on such Subsequent  Transfer Date (including the Subsequent  Cut-Off Date
Principal Balance then existing and all Additional  Balances  thereafter arising
thereunder to and including the date  immediately  preceding the commencement of
the Rapid  Amortization  Period),  (ii) all  money due or to become  due on such
Subsequent Mortgage Loan and after the related Subsequent Cut-Off Date and (iii)
all  items  with  respect  to such  Subsequent  Mortgage  Loans to be  delivered
pursuant to Section 2.1 above and the other items in the related Mortgage Files;
provided,  however,  that the Seller  reserves and retains all right,  title and

                                        5

<PAGE>

interest in and to principal  received and interest  accruing on any  Subsequent
Mortgage Loan prior to the related  Subsequent Cut-Off Date. Any transfer to the
Issuer by the Seller of  Subsequent  Mortgage  Loans shall be  absolute,  and is
intended by the Issuer and the Seller to constitute  and to be treated as a sale
of such Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Seller to the Issuer. In the event that
any such transaction is deemed not to be a sale, the Seller hereby grants to the
Issuer as of each  Subsequent  Transfer  Date a security  interest in all of the
Seller's  right,  title and  interest  in, to and  under all  accounts,  chattel
papers, general intangibles,  contract rights,  certificates of deposit, deposit
accounts,  instruments,  documents, letters of credit, money, advices of credit,
investment  property,  goods and other property  consisting of, arising under or
related to the related  Subsequent  Mortgage Loans and such other  property,  to
secure all of the  Seller's  obligations  hereunder,  and this  Agreement  shall
constitute a security  agreement under applicable law. The Seller agrees to take

(xxix)  Other  than with  respect  to a payment  default,  there is no  material
        default,  breach,  violation or event of acceleration existing under the

        knowledge,  no event which,  with notice and  expiration of any grace or
        cure period, would constitute a material default,  breach,  violation or
        event of acceleration under the terms of any Loan Agreement or Mortgage,
        and no such material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
        has been waived by the Seller  involved in  originating or servicing the
        related Mortgage Loan;

(xxx)   No instrument of release or waiver has been executed in connection  with
        the Mortgage Loans,  and no Mortgagor has been released,  in whole or in
        part from its obligations in connection therewith;

(xxxi)  With respect to each Mortgage Loan secured by a second lien,  either (a)

        contained  in the  related  Mortgage  File or (c) no  consent  for  such
        Mortgage Loan was required by relevant law;

(xxxii) To the extent  permitted by  applicable  law,  the  Mortgage  contains a
        customary  provision for the  acceleration  of the payment of the unpaid
        Principal  Balance  of the  Mortgage  Loan  in  the  event  the  related
        Mortgaged  Property is sold without the prior  consent of the  mortgagee
        thereunder; and

(xxxiii)The Seller used no selection  procedures that identified  Mortgage Loans
        as being less desirable or valuable than other comparable mortgage loans
        originated  or  acquired  by the  Seller  under  the GMACM  Home  Equity
        Program. The Mortgage Loans are representative of the Seller's portfolio
        of fixed rate and adjustable  rate mortgage  loans that were  originated
        under the GMACM Home Equity Program.

        Upon  discovery  by the Seller or upon  notice from the  Purchaser,  the
Enhancer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian,
as applicable,  of a breach of any  representation  or warranty in paragraph (a)
above that materially and adversely affects the interests of the Securityholders
or the Enhancer,  as applicable,  in any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall, within
90 days of its  discovery  or its receipt of notice of such  breach,  either (i)
cure such breach in all material respects or (ii) to the extent that such breach
is with respect to a Mortgage Loan or a Related Document,  either (A) repurchase
such Mortgage Loan from the Issuer at the  Repurchase  Price,  or (B) substitute
one or more Eligible  Substitute  Loans for such Mortgage  Loan, in each case in
the manner and subject to the conditions and limitations set forth below.

        Upon  discovery  by the Seller or upon  notice from the  Purchaser,  the
Enhancer, the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Custodian,
as applicable,  of a breach of any  representation or warranty in this paragraph
(b) above  with  respect  to any  Mortgage  Loan,  or upon the  occurrence  of a
Repurchase  Event,  that  materially and adversely  affects the interests of the
Securityholders,  the Enhancer or the Purchaser in such Mortgage Loan (notice of
which shall be given to the Purchaser by the Seller,  if it discovers the same),
notwithstanding  the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the substance of
such  representation  and warranty,  the Seller shall,  within 90 days after the
earlier of its discovery or receipt of notice  thereof,  either cure such breach
or  Repurchase  Event in all  material  respects or either (i)  repurchase  such
Mortgage Loan from the Issuer at the Repurchase Price, or (ii) substitute one or
more  Eligible  Substitute  Loans for such  Mortgage  Loan,  in each case in the
manner and subject to the conditions set forth below.  The Repurchase  Price for
any such Mortgage Loan repurchased by the Seller shall be deposited or caused to
be deposited by the Servicer into the Custodial Account.

        In the event that the Seller elects to substitute an Eligible Substitute
Loan or Loans for a Deleted Loan  pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Seller shall
deliver to the Custodian on behalf of the Issuer,  with respect to such Eligible
Substitute  Loan or Loans,  the original Loan Agreement and all other  documents
and  agreements  as are  required  by Section  2.1(c),  with the Loan  Agreement
endorsed as  required by Section  2.1(c).  No  substitution  will be made in any
calendar  month after the  Determination  Date for such month.  Minimum  Monthly
Payments  due  with  respect  to  Eligible  Substitute  Loans  in the  month  of
substitution  shall not be part of the Trust  Estate and will be retained by the
Servicer  and  remitted  by the  Servicer  to the Seller on the next  succeeding
Payment Date,  provided that a payment at least equal to the applicable  Minimum
Monthly  Payment for such month in respect of the Deleted Loan has been received
by the Issuer. For the month of substitution,  distributions to the Note Payment
Account pursuant to the Servicing Agreement will include the Monthly Payment due
on a Deleted Loan for such month and  thereafter the Seller shall be entitled to
retain all amounts  received in respect of such Deleted Loan. The Servicer shall
amend or cause to be amended the Mortgage  Loan  Schedule to reflect the removal
of such Deleted Loan and the  substitution  of the Eligible  Substitute  Loan or
Loans and the Servicer  shall deliver the amended  Mortgage Loan Schedule to the
Owner Trustee,  the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer.  Upon such substitution,
the  Eligible  Substitute  Loan or Loans  shall be  subject to the terms of this
Agreement  and the  Servicing  Agreement  in all  respects,  the Seller shall be
deemed to have made the  representations  and  warranties  with  respect  to the
Eligible  Substitute  Loan  contained  herein set forth in Section 3.1(b) (other
than clauses (viii), (xiii), (xiv), (xxiv), (xxv)(B)(1),  (xxv)(B)(2) and (xxvi)
thereof) as of the date of substitution and a  representation  and warranty that
each  Mortgage  Loan  is  an  Eligible   Substitute  Loan  as  of  the  date  of
substitution,  and the Seller shall be obligated to repurchase or substitute for
any  Eligible  Substitute  Loan as to which a  Repurchase  Event has occurred as
provided  herein.  In connection  with the  substitution of one or more Eligible
Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Servicer shall determine the
amount (such amount, a "Substitution  Adjustment Amount"),  if any, by which the
aggregate principal balance of all such Eligible Substitute Loans as of the date
of substitution is less than the aggregate principal balance of all such Deleted
Loans (after application of the principal portion of the Monthly Payments due in
the month of substitution that are to be distributed to the Note Payment Account
in the month of  substitution).  The  Seller  shall  deposit  the amount of such
shortfall into the Custodial  Account on the date of  substitution,  without any
reimbursement therefor.

        Upon  receipt by the  Indenture  Trustee on behalf of the Issuer and the
Custodian of written notification, signed by a Servicing Officer, of the deposit
of such Repurchase Price or of such substitution of an Eligible  Substitute Loan
(together with the complete related Mortgage File) and deposit of any applicable
Substitution  Adjustment  Amount as provided above, the Custodian,  on behalf of
the Indenture Trustee, shall release to the Seller the related Mortgage File for
the Mortgage Loan being repurchased or substituted for and the Indenture Trustee
on behalf of the Issuer shall execute and deliver such  instruments  of transfer
or assignment prepared by the Servicer,  in each case without recourse, as shall
be necessary to vest in the Seller or its designee  such  Mortgage Loan released
pursuant  hereto and thereafter  such Mortgage Loan shall not be an asset of the
Issuer.

        It is  understood  and agreed that the  obligation of the Seller to cure
any breach,  or to repurchase  or  substitute  for any Mortgage Loan as to which
such a breach has occurred and is continuing,  shall  constitute the sole remedy
respecting   such  breach   available  to  the   Purchaser,   the  Issuer,   the
Certificateholders  (or the Owner  Trustee on behalf of the  Certificateholders)
and the  Noteholders  (or the  Indenture  Trustee on behalf of the  Noteholders)
against the Seller.

        It is understood and agreed that the  representations and warranties set
forth in this  Section 3.1 shall  survive  delivery of the  respective  Mortgage
Files to the Issuer or the Custodian.

Section 4.1 Covenants of the Seller.  The Seller hereby  covenants that,  except
for the transfer  hereunder and as of any  Subsequent  Transfer Date, the Seller
will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other Person, or grant, create,
incur or assume any Lien on any Mortgage Loan, or any interest  therein,  except
with respect to any Excluded Amount.  The Seller shall notify the Issuer (in the
case of the  Initial  Mortgage  Loans,  as assignee  of the  Purchaser),  of the
existence  of any Lien  (other  than as  provided  above) on any  Mortgage  Loan
immediately upon discovery thereof; and the Seller shall defend the right, title
and  interest  of the  Issuer (in the case of the  Initial  Mortgage  Loans,  as
assignee  of the  Purchaser)  in, to and under the  Mortgage  Loans  against all
claims of third parties claiming through or under the Seller; provided, however,
that  nothing  in this  Section  4.1  shall be  deemed to apply to any Liens for
municipal or other local taxes and other  governmental  charges if such taxes or
governmental  charges  shall not at the time be due and payable or if the Seller
shall currently be contesting the validity  thereof in good faith by appropriate
Proceedings.

Purchaser or the Issuer,  it being expressly  understood that all such liability

the execution of this Agreement and any Subsequent Transfer Agreement. Except as
and to the extent  expressly  provided in the  Servicing  Agreement,  the Seller
shall not be under any liability to the Issuer, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee or the Securityholders.  The Seller and any director,  officer, employee
or agent of the Seller may rely in good faith on any  document of any kind prima
facie  properly  executed  and  submitted by any Person  respecting  any matters
arising hereunder.

Section 6.2 Indemnification with Respect to the Mortgage Loans. The Seller shall
indemnify  and hold  harmless the  Purchaser and the Issuer (with respect to the
Initial mortgage Loans, as assignee of the Purchaser) from and against any loss,
liability   or   expense   arising   from  any  breach  by  the  Seller  of  its
representations  and warranties in Section 3.1 of this Agreement that materially
and adversely  affects the Purchaser's  interest in any Initial Mortgage Loan or
the Issuer's  interest in any Mortgage Loan or from the failure by the Seller to
perform  its  obligations  under  this  Agreement  or  any  Subsequent  Transfer
Agreement  in any  material  respect;  provided,  that the Seller  shall have no
obligation  to  indemnify  the  Purchaser  in respect of any loss,  liability or
expense  that arises as a result of the  Purchaser's  willful  malfeasance,  bad
faith or  negligence  or as a  result  of the  breach  by the  Purchaser  of its
obligations  hereunder;  nor shall  the  Seller  shall  have any  obligation  to
indemnify the Issuer in respect of any loss, liability or expense that arises as
a result of the Issuer's willful malfeasance, bad faith or negligence.

Section 8.8 Intention of the Parties.  It is the intention of the parties hereto
that the Purchaser  will be purchasing on the Closing Date,  and the Seller will
be selling on the Closing  Date,  the Initial  Mortgage  Loans,  rather than the
Purchaser  providing a loan to the Seller secured by the Initial  Mortgage Loans
on the Closing Date;  and that the Issuer will be purchasing on each  Subsequent
Transfer Date, and the Seller will be selling on each Subsequent  Transfer Date,
the related Subsequent  Mortgage Loans,  rather than the Issuer providing a loan
to  the  Seller  secured  by the  related  Subsequent  Mortgage  Loans  on  each
Subsequent Transfer Date.  Accordingly,  the parties hereto each intend to treat
this  transaction  for federal  income tax purposes as (i) a sale by the Seller,
and a purchase by the  Purchaser,  of the Initial  Mortgage Loans on the Closing
Date and (ii) a sale by the Seller, and a purchase by the Issuer, of the related
Subsequent  Mortgage Loans on each  Subsequent  Transfer Date. The Purchaser and
the  Issuer  shall  each  have the right to review  the  Mortgage  Loans and the
Related Documents to determine the  characteristics  of the Mortgage Loans which
will affect the federal income tax  consequences  of owning the Mortgage  Loans,
and  the  Seller  shall  cooperate  with  all  reasonable  requests  made by the
Purchaser or the Issuer in the course of such review.

Section 8.9    Successors and Assigns; Assignment of This Agreement.

(a) This Agreement  shall bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by
the parties hereto and their respective  permitted  successors and assigns.  The
obligations of the Seller under this  Agreement  cannot be assigned or delegated
to a third party without the consent of the Enhancer and the Purchaser  (and the
Issuer with respect to the transfer of any  Subsequent  Mortgage  Loans),  which
consent  shall be at the  Purchaser's  sole  discretion  (and the Issuer's  sole
discretion  with  respect to the  transfer of any  Subsequent  Mortgage  Loans);
provided,  that the Seller may assign its obligations hereunder to any Affiliate
of the Seller,  to any Person  succeeding to the business of the Seller,  to any
Person  into which the Seller is merged  and to any  Person  resulting  from any
merger,  conversion or consolidation to which the Seller is a party. The parties
hereto  acknowledge  that (i) the  Purchaser is acquiring  the Initial  Mortgage
Loans for the purpose of  contributing  them to the GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust
2000-HE2 and (ii) the Issuer is acquiring the Subsequent  Mortgage Loans for the
purpose of pledging the Subsequent  Mortgage Loans to the Indenture  Trustee for
the benefit of the Noteholders and the Enhancer.

(b) As an  inducement  to the  Purchaser  and the Issuer to purchase the Initial
Mortgage Loans and to the Issuer to purchase any Subsequent  Mortgage Loans, the
Seller  acknowledges  and consents to (i) the assignment by the Purchaser to the
Issuer of all of the  Purchaser's  rights  against  the Seller  pursuant to this
Agreement   insofar  as  such  rights  relate  to  the  Initial  Mortgage  Loans
transferred  to the Issuer and to the  enforcement  or  exercise of any right or
remedy  against the Seller  pursuant to this  Agreement by the Issuer,  (ii) the
enforcement  or exercise of any right or remedy  against the Seller  pursuant to
this  Agreement by or on behalf of the Issuer and (iii) the  Issuer's  pledge of
its interest in this Agreement to the Indenture  Trustee and the  enforcement by

Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. The Seller

principal  office of the  Seller,  as are  necessary  to perfect and protect the
Issuer's interests in each Subsequent Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof.

        (b) The  expenses and costs  relating to the delivery of the  Subsequent
Mortgage Loans, this Agreement and the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement shall be
borne by the Seller.
