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.

released to the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.06(c) of the Servicing Agreement,

Agreement,  the Indenture  Trustee,  as a pledgee of the Mortgage Loans, will be
deemed to have possession of such Related Documents,  such monies and such other
items  for  purposes  of  Section  9-305 of the UCC of the  state in which  such

               (a)(i)  If the  Servicing  Certificate  specifies  a Policy  Draw
Amount for any Payment  Date,  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall make a draw on the
Policy in an amount specified in the Servicing Certificate for such Payment Date
or, if no amount is specified,  the  Indenture  Trustee shall make a draw on the
Policy in the amount by which the amount on deposit in the Note Payment  Account
is less than interest due on the Notes on such Payment Date.                    

               (ii) The Indenture Trustee shall deposit or cause to be deposited
such Policy Draw Amount into the Note  Payment  Account on such  Payment Date to
the extent such amount  relates to clause (a) of the  definition of  "Deficiency
Amount" or clause (b) of the definition of "Insured Amount".                    

               (iii) To the  extent  such  amount  relates  to clause (b) of the
definition of "Deficiency  Amount",  the Indenture  Trustee shall (i) during the
Revolving  Period,  deposit  such amount into the Funding  Account as  Principal
Collections and (ii) during the Amortization  Periods,  deposit such amount into
the Note Payment Account.                                                       

               (b)The Indenture Trustee shall submit, if a Policy Draw Amount is
specified in any statement to Securityholders  prepared pursuant to Section 4.01
of the Servicing  Agreement,  the Notice of Nonpayment and Demand for Payment of
Insured  Amounts  (in the form  attached  as  Exhibit  A to the  Policy)  to the
Enhancer  no later  than 12:00  noon,  New York City  time,  on the third  (3rd)

        Section 3.29 Replacement Enhancement. The Issuer (or the Servicer on its
behalf) may, at its expense,  in accordance  with and upon  satisfaction  of the
conditions set forth herein, but shall not be required to, obtain a surety bond,
letter of credit,  guaranty  or reserve  account as a Permitted  Investment  for
amounts on deposit in the Capitalized  Interest Account,  or may arrange for any
other form of additional credit enhancement;  provided,  that after prior notice
thereto,  no Rating  Agency  shall have  informed the Issuer that a Rating Event
would occur as a result thereof  (without  taking the Policy into account);  and
provided  further,  that the issuer of any such  instrument  or facility and the
timing  and  mechanism  for  drawing  on such  additional  enhancement  shall be
acceptable to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer. It shall be a condition to
procurement of any such additional credit enhancement that there be delivered to
the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer (a) an Opinion of Counsel,  acceptable in
form to the Indenture Trustee and the Enhancer,  from counsel to the provider of
such additional credit  enhancement with respect to the  enforceability  thereof
and such other matters as the Indenture  Trustee or the Enhancer may require and
(b) an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the  procurement of such additional
enhancement  would not (i)  adversely  affect in any  material  respect  the tax
status of the Notes or the  Certificates  or (ii) cause the Issuer to be taxable
as an  association  (or a publicly  traded  partnership)  for federal income tax
purposes or to be  classified  as a taxable  mortgage pool within the meaning of
Section 7701(i) of the Code.

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,  at the request of the Servicer and 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.                           

               (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.                                                     

        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.

        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  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.    

        Section  4.05   Cancellation.   All  Notes   surrendered   for  payment,
registration  of transfer,  exchange or redemption  shall, if surrendered to any
Person other than the Indenture  Trustee,  be delivered to the Indenture Trustee
and shall be promptly cancelled by the Indenture Trustee.  The Issuer may at any
time deliver to the  Indenture  Trustee for  cancellation  any Notes  previously
authenticated and delivered  hereunder which the Issuer may have acquired in any

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

        Section 4.06 Book-Entry  Notes.  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

Section 4.12  Subrogation and Cooperation.                      

               (a)The Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee  acknowledge that (i) to

Trustee may authenticate  and make available for delivery,  temporary Notes that

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

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 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.

        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

law out of the  property of the Issuer or other  obligor on the Notes,  wherever
situated, the monies adjudged or decreed to be payable.                         

               (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

        Trustee and each  predecessor  Indenture  Trustee,  and their respective
        agents, attorneys and counsel, and for reimbursement of all expenses and

        and  each  predecessor   Indenture  Trustee,   except  as  a  result  of
        negligence,  willful  misconduct  or bad faith)  and of the  Noteholders

        documents  as may be  necessary or advisable in order to have the claims

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

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

               (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

such Proceedings.                                                               

Section 5.04  Remedies; Priorities.                             

               (a)If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be  continuing,
then the Indenture  Trustee,  subject to the provisions of Section 10.17 hereof,
with the written  consent of the Enhancer  may, or, at the written  direction of
the Enhancer,  shall,  do one or more of the following,  in each case subject to
Section 5.05:

        of an express  trust for the  collection  of all amounts then payable on
        the Notes or under  this  Indenture  with  respect  thereto,  whether by
        declaration  or otherwise,  and all amounts  payable under the Insurance
        Agreement,  enforce any judgment  obtained,  and collect from the Issuer
and any other obligor on the Notes monies adjudged due;

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

                      (iii)  exercise any remedies of a secured  party under the
        UCC and take any other  appropriate  action to protect  and  enforce the
     rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders; and
                      (iv)  sell the  Trust  Estate or any  portion  thereof  or
        rights or  interest  therein,  at one or more  public or  private  sales
called and conducted in any manner permitted by law;            

provided,  however,  that  the  Indenture  Trustee  may not  sell  or  otherwise
liquidate  the  Trust  Estate  following  an Event of  Default,  unless  (A) the
Indenture Trustee obtains the consent of the 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, and shall be
protected in relying in good faith, 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. Notwithstanding any sale of the Mortgage
Loans pursuant to this Section 5.04(a), the Indenture Trustee shall, for so long
as any principal or accrued  interest on the Notes remains  unpaid,  continue to
act as Indenture  Trustee hereunder and to draw amounts payable under the Policy
in accordance with its terms.                                                   

               (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;          

               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, and shall be protected in
relying in good faith, 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;                

               (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.                                 

        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

               (i) the  Noteholders  of all Notes and the  Enhancer  direct  the
Indenture Trustee to make, such Sale,                       

                      (ii) the  proceeds of such Sale would be not less than the

        the  Certificateholders  under  the  Certificates  and the  Enhancer  in
        respect of amounts  drawn under the Policy and any other amounts due 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

        banking firm  obtained and delivered as provided in Section  5.05),  and

        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;

        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  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).

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

               (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.

        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.

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

                      (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

        any  direction  from the Enhancer  that the Enhancer is entitled to give

               (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

               (j)The Indenture  Trustee shall not be required to take notice or
be deemed to have  notice or  knowledge  of any Event of Default  (except for an
Event of Default  specified in clause (a) of the  definition  thereof)  unless a
Responsible  Officer of the Indenture Trustee shall have received written notice
or have actual  knowledge  thereof.  In the absence of receipt of such notice or
such knowledge,  the Indenture Trustee may conclusively  assume that there is no
default or Event of Default.

recording or filing or to any rerecording or refiling of any thereof.           

Section 6.02  Rights of Indenture Trustee.                      

               (a)The  Indenture  Trustee  may rely and  shall be  protected  in
acting or refraining  from acting in good faith upon any  resolution,  Officer's
Certificate,   opinion  of  counsel,  certificate  of  auditors,  or  any  other
certificate,  statement,  instrument,  report, notice, consent or other document
believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or  presented by the proper
person.  The Indenture Trustee need not investigate any fact or matter stated in
any such document.                                                              

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

               (f)The Indenture  Trustee shall not be personally  liable for any
action  taken,  suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized  or within the  discretion or rights or powers  conferred  upon it by
this  Agreement,  unless  it shall be  proved  that the  Indenture  Trustee  was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.

               (g)Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder,  and
after the curing or waiver of all Events of Default that may have occurred,  the
Indenture Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or
matters stated in any resolution,  certificate,  statement, instrument, opinion,
report,  notice,  request,  consent,  order,  approval,  bond or other  paper or
document,  unless  requested  in  writing  to do  so  by  the  Enhancer  or  the
Noteholders  representing  a majority of the aggregate  Note Balance;  provided,
however,  that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Indenture  Trustee
of the costs,  expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making
of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Indenture  Trustee,  not assured
to the  Indenture  Trustee by the  security  afforded to it by the terms of this
Indenture,  the  Indenture  Trustee may require  indemnity  satisfactory  to the
Indenture  Trustee  against  such cost,  expense or  liability as a condition to
taking any such action.                                                         

               (h)The Indenture Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise
any of the  trusts or powers  vested in it by this  Agreement  or to  institute,
conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request,
order or direction of any of the  Enhancer or the  Noteholders,  pursuant to the
provisions of this Agreement,  unless the Enhancer or the Noteholders shall have
offered to the Indenture  Trustee  reasonable  security or indemnity against the
costs,  expenses  and  liabilities  which may be  incurred  therein or  thereby;
nothing  contained herein shall,  however,  relieve the Indenture Trustee of the
obligation, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (which has not been cured
or  waived),  to  exercise  such of the rights  and powers  vested in it by this
Agreement,  and to use the same degree of care and skill in their  exercise as a
prudent investor would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of
such investor's own affairs.                                                    

        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:                                                                             

         (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

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.                                                                           

        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 6.10 Appointment of Co-Indenture Trustee or Separate
Indenture Trustee.            

               (a)Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Indenture, at any
time, for the purpose of meeting any legal  requirement of any  jurisdiction  in
which any part of the Trust  Estate may at 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

                      (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

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.

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.

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.

        The Indenture Trustee may in its discretion determine whether or not any
Notes would be affected by any supplemental indenture and any such determination
shall be conclusive  upon the Noteholders of all Notes,  whether  theretofore or
thereafter  authenticated and delivered  hereunder.  The Indenture Trustee shall
not be liable for any such determination made in good faith.                    

        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

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 shall conform to the  requirements of TIA as in effect at the time of
such amendment or supplement so long as this  Indenture  shall then be qualified
under 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

        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  respect  to any
        securities so deposited,  if the fair value thereof to the Issuer as set
        forth in the related Officer's  Certificate is less than $25,000 or less
than one percent of the aggregate Note Balance of the Notes.    

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

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

                      (v) Notwithstanding  any provision of this Indenture,  the
        Issuer  may,  without  compliance  with the  requirements  of the  other
        provisions of this Section  10.01,  (A) collect upon,  sell or otherwise
        dispose of the Mortgage Loans as and to the extent permitted or required
        by the Basic Documents or (B) make 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  occurred  during  the  preceding  six
        calendar  months (or such longer  period,  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 either  Seller or
the Issuer, stating that the information with respect to such factual matters is
in the possession of either 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.                                                             

               (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.                             

        Section 10.04 Notices, etc., to Indenture Trustee,  Issuer, Enhancer and
Rating Agencies. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or Act of  Noteholders or other  documents  provided or permitted by this
Indenture  shall  be in  writing  and if such  request,  demand,  authorization,
direction,  notice,  consent,  waiver or Act of  Noteholders is to be made upon,
given or furnished to or filed with:                                            

               (a)the Indenture Trustee by any Noteholder or by the Issuer shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if made, given,  furnished or filed in
writing to or with the Indenture  Trustee at its  Corporate  Trust Office with a
copy to Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota,  N.A., 11000 Broken Land Parkway,  Columbia,
Maryland  21044-3562,  Attention:  GMACM 2000-HE4.  The Indenture  Trustee shall
promptly transmit any notice received by it from the Noteholders to the Issuer, 

               (b)the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or by any Noteholder shall
be sufficient for every purpose hereunder if in writing and mailed  first-class,
postage  prepaid to the  Issuer  addressed  to:  GMACM  Home  Equity  Loan Trust
2000-HE4,  in care of the  Owner  Trustee,  or at any other  address  previously
furnished in writing to the  Indenture  Trustee by the Issuer.  The Issuer shall
promptly  transmit  any  notice  received  by it  from  the  Noteholders  to the
Indenture Trustee, or                                                           

               (c)the  Enhancer by the Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee or by any
Noteholders  shall be sufficient  for every purpose  hereunder to in writing and

MBIA Insurance Corporation,  113 King Street, Armonk, New York 10504, Attention:
Insured Portfolio  Management - Structured Finance (GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust
2000-HE4),  telecopier  number  (914)  765-3810.  The  Enhancer  shall  promptly

        Notices  required to be given to the Rating Agencies by the Issuer,  the
Indenture Trustee or the Owner Trustee shall be in writing, personally delivered
or mailed by certified  mail,  return receipt  requested,  to (i) in the case of
Fitch, at the following address:  Fitch, Inc., One State Street Plaza, New York,
New York  10004,  Attention:  Residential  Mortgage  Group,  (ii) in the case of
Moody's,  at  the  following  address:  Moody's  Investors  Service,  Inc.,  ABS
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 counsel shall be 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.

(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
November  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 0.210% per annum (or, for each Interest  Period  beginning  after any
Payment Date on which the aggregate Note Balance is less than 10% of the initial
aggregate Note Balance, LIBOR plus 0.420% 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-HE4 (the "Series 2000-HE4 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-HE4 Term
Notes. The Series 2000-HE4 Term Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

        The  Series   2000-HE4  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 December 26, 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 November 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 Sellers,  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 Sellers, the Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group,
Inc. or the  Issuer,  or join in any  institution  against  the  Depositor,  the
Sellers,  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
2000-HE4  Term  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  then
Outstanding  and with prior notice to the Rating  Agencies.  The Indenture  also
contains provisions  permitting the Noteholders of Notes representing  specified
percentages of the Note Balances of the Series 2000-HE4 Term Notes, on behalf of
the Noteholders of all Series  2000-HE4 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-HE4  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,
to merge or consolidate,  subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders of Term Notes under the Indenture.                                  

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

        This Term 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 Term 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 Term
Note  at the  times,  place  and  rate,  and  in the  coin  or  currency  herein
prescribed.

Note, by its acceptance hereof, agrees that, except as expressly provided in the

Noteholder  shall have no claim against any of the foregoing for any deficiency,

        GMACM Home Equity Loan Trust  2000-HE4,  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 fifty nine million two hundred eighty
four thousand dollars  ($59,284,000),  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 November 29, 2000 (the  "Indenture"),
between the Issuer and Wells Fargo Bank  Minnesota,  N.A., 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
November  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 0.245% per annum (or, for each Interest  Period  beginning  after any
Payment Date on which the aggregate Note Balance is less than 10% of the initial
aggregate Note Balance, LIBOR plus 0.490% 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-HE4 (the "Series 2000-HE4 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-HE4 Term
Notes. The Series 2000-HE4 Term Notes are subject to all terms of the Indenture.

        The  Series   2000-HE4  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 December 26, 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 November 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 Sellers,  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 Sellers, the Servicer, GMAC Mortgage Group,
Inc. or the  Issuer,  or join in any  institution  against  the  Depositor,  the
Sellers,  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
2000-HE4  Term  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  then
Outstanding  and with prior notice to the Rating  Agencies.  The Indenture  also
contains provisions  permitting the Noteholders of Notes representing  specified
percentages of the Note Balances of the Series 2000-HE4 Term Notes, on behalf of
the Noteholders of all Series  2000-HE4 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-HE4  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,
to merge or consolidate,  subject to the rights of the Indenture Trustee and the
Noteholders of Term Notes under the Indenture.                                  

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

        This Term 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 Term 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 Term
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,  Wells  Fargo  Bank  Minnesota,  N.A.  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 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

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 Term Note.

               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 0.210% per annum (or, for each Interest  Period
beginning  after any Payment  Date on which the  aggregate  Note Balance is less
than 10% of the initial  aggregate  Note Balance,  LIBOR plus 0.420% 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-HE4 (herein called the "Series
2000-HE4  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-HE4  Variable  Funding
Notes.  The Series 2000-HE4  Variable  Funding Notes are subject to all terms of
the Indenture.                                                                  

               The Series  2000-HE4  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.

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 December 26, 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 November  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 Sellers,  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 Sellers, the Servicer,  GMAC Mortgage
Group, Inc. or the Issuer, or join in any institution against the Depositor, the
Sellers,  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-HE4 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-HE4  Variable  Funding  Notes,  on  behalf  of the
Noteholders of all Series 2000-HE4  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-HE4  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.

        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 0.245% per annum (or, for each Interest  Period
beginning  after any Payment  Date on which the  aggregate  Note Balance is less
than 10% of the initial  aggregate  Note Balance,  LIBOR plus 0.490% 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-HE4  (herein called the "Series  2000-HE4
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-HE4  Variable  Funding Notes. The
Series  2000-HE4  Variable  Funding  Notes  are  subject  to  all  terms  of the
Indenture.                                                                      

        The  Series  2000-HE4   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.

        Principal of and interest on this Variable  Funding Note will be payable
on each Payment  Date,  commencing  on December  26,  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 November  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  covenants  and agrees by
accepting the benefits of the  Indenture  that such  Noteholder  will not at any

        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

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

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-HE4  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-HE4  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.

Securities described above from the seller (the "Seller").                      

        1.  In  connection  with  such  transfer  and  in  accordance  with  the
agreements  pursuant to which the Rule 144A Securities  were issued,  the Seller
hereby  certifies the following  facts:  Neither the Seller nor anyone acting on
its behalf has offered, transferred,  pledged, sold or otherwise disposed of the
Rule 144A  Securities,  any  interest in the Rule 144A  Securities  or any other
similar security to, or solicited any offer to buy or accept a transfer,  pledge
or other disposition of the Rule 144A Securities,  any interest in the Rule 144A
Securities  or any other  similar  security  form,  or otherwise  approached  or
negotiated  with respect to the Rule 144A  Securities,  any interest in the Rule
144A Securities or any other similar security with, any person in any manner, or
made any general  solicitation  by means of general  advertising or in any other
manner,  or taken any other action,  that would constitute a distribution of the
Rule 144A  Securities  under the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933
Act"),  or that  would  render the  disposition  of the Rule 144A  Securities  a
violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or require registration pursuant thereto,
and that the Seller has not offered the Rule 144A Securities to any person other
than the Buyer or  another  "qualified  institutional  buyer" as defined in Rule
144A under the 1933 Act.                                                        

        2. The Buyer  warrants  and  represents  to,  and  covenants  with,  the

               a. The Buyer  understands  that the Rule 144A Securities have not
          been  registered  under  the  1933 Act or the  securities  laws of any
state.                                                      

               b.  The  Buyer  considers  itself  a  substantial,  sophisticated
        institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in financial
        and  business  matters that it is capable of  evaluating  the merits and
risks of investment in the Rule 144A Securities.                

               c. The Buyer has been  furnished with all  information  regarding
        the Rule 144A  Securities  that it has  requested  from the Seller,  the

        Securities,  any  interest  in the Rule  144A  Securities  or any  other
        similar  security  with,  any person in any manner,  or made any general
        solicitation by means of general  advertising or in any other manner, or
        taken any other action, that would constitute a distribution of the Rule
        144A Securities  under the 1933 Act or that would render the disposition
        of the Rule 144A  Securities a violation of Section 5 of the 1933 Act or

        account  for  investment  only  and not  with a view  to or for  sale in
        connection  with any  distribution  thereof  in any  manner  that  would
violate the Act or any applicable state securities laws.        

                      3.  The  Purchaser  is  (a) a  substantial,  sophisticated
        institutional investor having such knowledge and experience in financial

        opportunity to review a copy of the Indenture and such other information
        concerning  the Notes,  the  Mortgage  Loans and the Company as has been
        requested  by the  Purchaser  from  the  Company  or the  Seller  and is
        relevant  to  the  Purchaser's  decision  to  purchase  the  Notes.  The
        Purchaser has had any questions arising from such review answered by the
Company or the Seller to the satisfaction of the Purchaser.     

                      5.  The  Purchaser  has  not  and  will  not  nor  has  it
        authorized or will it authorize any person to (a) offer,  pledge,  sell,
        dispose of or otherwise  transfer any Note,  any interest in any Note or
        any other similar security to any person in any manner,  (b) solicit any
        offer to buy or to accept a pledge, disposition of other transfer of any
        Note,  any interest in any Note or any other  similar  security from any
        person in any manner,  (c) otherwise  approach or negotiate with respect
        to any Note, any interest in any Note or any other similar security with
        any person in any manner, (d) make any general  solicitation by means of
        general advertising or in any other manner or (e) take any other action,
        that  (as  to  any  of  (a)  through  (e)  above)  would   constitute  a
        distribution   of  any  Note  under  the  Act,  that  would  render  the
        disposition of any Note a violation of Section 5 of the Act or any state
        securities  law, or that would  require  registration  or  qualification
        pursuant thereto.  The Purchaser will not sell or otherwise transfer any
        of the Notes, except in compliance with the provisions of the Indenture.

                         Very truly yours,
