     agreement dated March 5, 1998, each among PaineWebber, as representative

     finance  (i) property improvements, (ii) debt  consolidation, or (iii) a
     combination  of   property  improvements,  cash-out  or  other  consumer

     as Exhibit 10.2.

Attention:  Joseph Piscina

Ladies and Gentlemen:

          FIRSTPLUS INVESTMENT CORPORATION, a corporation organized and
existing under the laws of the State of Nevada (the "Company"), proposes to
cause FIRSTPLUS HOME LOAN OWNER TRUSTS (each, a "Trust") to offer for sale
from time to time its Asset-Backed Securities evidencing interests in pools
of certain contracts and mortgage loans (the "Securities").  The Securities
may be issued in various series, and within each series, in one or more
classes, in one or more offerings on terms determined at the time of sale
(each such series, a "Series" and each such class, a "Class").  Each Trust
may issue one or more classes of Asset-Backed Notes (the "Notes") pursuant to
an Indenture to be dated as of the respective cut-off date (each, a "Cut-off
Date") as supplemented by one or more supplements to such Indenture (such
Indenture, as supplemented, the "Indenture") between the related Trust and
the indenture trustee named therein (the "Indenture Trustee"). 
Simultaneously with the issuance of the Notes, the Trust may issue Asset-
Backed Certificates (the "Certificates"), each representing a fractional
undivided ownership interest in the related Trust, pursuant to a separate
Trust Agreement (each, a "Trust Agreement") to be dated as of the respective
Cut-off Date among the Company, one or more affiliates of the Company, the
owner trustee named therein (the "Owner Trustee") and, to the extent
specified therein, the co-owner trustee.

          The assets of each Trust will consist primarily of a pool of fixed-
or adjustable-rate, fully-amortizing property improvement and/or debt
consolidation loans, and the related notes and mortgages (collectively, the
"Home Loans") having the original terms to maturity and interest rate types
specified in the related Terms Agreement referred to hereinbelow.  Certain of
the Home Loans may be partially insured by the Federal Housing Administration
(the "FHA") of the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development
("HUD") pursuant to Title I of the National Housing Act of 1934, as amended
("Title I Home Loans").  Unless otherwise specified in the related Prospectus
Supplement and the related Sale and Servicing Agreement (as defined below),
the Company or its affiliate, as FHA Insurance Holder (the "FHA Insurance
Holder"), will enter into an FHA claims administration agreement (each, an
"FHA Claims Agreement") with FIRSTPLUS FINANCIAL, INC. ("FFI"), as transferor
and servicer (the "Transferor" or "Servicer"), pursuant to which the Servicer
will administer, process and submit claims (the Servicer in such capacity,
the "FHA Claims Administrator") to the FHA in respect of Title I Home Loans. 

     Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall have the
meanings assigned thereto in the related sale and servicing agreement to be
dated as of the applicable Cut-off Date (the "Sale and Servicing Agreement"),
among the Company as seller (the "Seller"), the Servicer, the Indenture
Trustee and the related Trust, or, if not defined therein, in the respective
Indenture or Trust Agreement.

     If and to the extent specified in the related Sale and Servicing
Agreement, in addition to the Home Loans conveyed to the Trust on the Closing
Date (such Home Loans so conveyed to the Trust at such time, the "Initial
Home Loans"), the Seller shall be obligated to convey to the Trust, from time
to time during the period commencing after the Closing Date and ending at the
expiration of the period specified in such Sale and Servicing Agreement
(each, a "Pre-Funding Period")(the date of any such conveyance, a "Subsequent
Transfer Date"), additional Home Loans (any such additional Home Loans so
conveyed to the Trust through the Pre-Funding Period, the "Subsequent Home
Loans").

     The Securities may have the benefit of one or more insurance policies
(each, a "Policy") issued by the securities insurer named therein (the
"Securities Insurer") pursuant to an insurance and indemnity agreement among
the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer and the Securities Insurer
(the "Insurance Agreement").  

          Underwritten offerings of Securities may be made through you or
through an underwriting syndicate managed by you.  The Company proposes to
sell one or more Series of the Securities to you and to each of the other
several underwriters, if any, participating in an underwriting syndicate
managed by you.  

          Whenever the Company determines to make an offering of Securities
(each, an "Offering") pursuant to this Agreement through you, it will enter
into an agreement (the "Terms Agreement") providing for the sale of specified
Classes of Offered Securities (as defined below) to, and the purchase and 
public offering thereof by, you and such other underwriters, if any, selected
by you as have authorized you to enter into such Terms Agreement on their
behalf (the underwriters designated in any such Terms Agreement being
referred to herein as "Underwriters," which term shall include you whether
acting alone in the sale of any Offered Securities of any series or as a
member of an underwriting syndicate).  Each such Offering which the Company
elects to make pursuant to this Agreement shall be governed by this
Agreement, as supplemented by the related Terms Agreement, and this Agreement
and such Terms Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon
each underwriter participating in the offering of such Offered Securities. 
Each Terms Agreement, which shall be substantially in the form of Exhibit A
hereto, shall specify, among other things, the Classes of Securities to be
purchased by the Underwriters (the "Offered Securities"), whether such
Offered Securities constitute Notes or Certificates, the principal balance or
balances of the Offered Securities, each subject to any stated variance, the
names of the Underwriters participating in such offering (subject to
substitution as provided in Section 13 hereof) and the price or prices at
which such Offered Securities are to be purchased by the Underwriters from
the Company.

          1.   Representations and Warranties.  (a) The Company and FFI
               ------------------------------
represent and warrant to and agree with the Underwriters, as of the date of
the related Terms Agreement, that:

                      (i)     The registration statement specified in the
          related Terms Agreement, on Form S-3, including a prospectus, has
          been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
          "Commission") for the registration under the Securities Act of
          1933, as amended (the "Act"), of asset-backed securities issuable
          in series, which registration statement has been declared effective
          by the Commission.  Such registration statement, as amended to the
          date of the related Terms Agreement, including any documents
          incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3
          under the Act which were filed under the Securities Exchange Act of
          1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), on or before the effective
          date of the Registration Statement, is hereinafter called the
          "Registration Statement," and such prospectus, as such prospectus
          is supplemented by a prospectus supplement relating to the Offered
          Securities of the related Series, each in the form first filed via
          EDGAR by a financial printer or another person designated by the
          Company (the "Financial Printer") after the date of the related
          Terms Agreement pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, including
          any documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12
          of Form S-3 under the Act which were filed under the Exchange Act
          on or before the date of such Prospectus Supplement (other than any
          such incorporated documents that relate to Collateral Term Sheets 
          (as defined herein)) (such prospectus supplement, including such
          incorporated documents (other than those that relate to Collateral
          Term Sheets), in the form first filed after the date of the related
          Terms Agreement pursuant to Rule 424(b) is hereinafter called the
          "Prospectus Supplement"), is hereinafter called the "Final
          Prospectus".  Any preliminary prospectus, including any preliminary
          prospectus supplement which, as completed, is proposed to be used
          in connection with the sale of a Series of Offered Securities and
          any prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(a) of
          the Act, is hereinafter referred to as a "Preliminary Prospectus." 
          Any reference herein to the terms "amend," "amendment" or
          "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, the
          Preliminary Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or the Prospectus
          Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of
          any document under the Exchange Act after the effective date of the
          Registration Statement or the issue date of the Preliminary
          Prospectus, the Final Prospectus or Prospectus Supplement, as the
          case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference
          pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3 under the Act.

                     (ii)     The related Registration Statement, at the time
          it became effective, and the prospectus contained therein, and any
          amendments thereof and supplements thereto filed prior to the date
          of the related Terms Agreement, conformed in all material respects
          to the requirements of the Act and the rules and regulations of the
          Commission thereunder; on the date of the related Terms Agreement
          and on each Closing Date (as defined in Section 3 below), the
          related Registration Statement and the related Final Prospectus,
          and any amendments thereof and supplements thereto, will conform in
          all material respects to the requirements of the Act and the rules
          and regulations of the Commission thereunder; such Registration
          Statement, at the time it became effective, did not contain any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material
          fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
          statements therein not misleading; such Final Prospectus, on the
          date of any filing pursuant to Rule 424(b) and on each Closing
          Date, will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or
          omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements
          therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they are
          made, not misleading; and the Form 8-K relating to any Subsequent 
          Home Loans, on the date of any filing thereof, will not include any
          untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any
          information which such Final Prospectus states will be included in
          such Form 8-K; provided, however, that the Company makes no
          representations or warranties as to the information contained in or
          omitted from (A) such Registration Statement or such Final
          Prospectus (or any supplement thereto) in reliance upon and in
          conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or
          on behalf of the Underwriters specifically for use in the
          preparation thereof or (B) any Current Report (as defined in
          Section 5(b) below), or in any amendment thereof or supplement
          thereto, incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement
          or such Final Prospectus (or any amendment thereof or supplement
          thereto).

                    (iii)     The Securities of the related Series will
          conform to the description thereof contained in the related Final
          Prospectus; and will each on the related Closing Date be duly and
          validly authorized, and, when validly executed, countersigned,
          issued and delivered in accordance with the related Indenture or
          Trust Agreement, as applicable, and sold to you as provided herein
          and in the related Terms Agreement, will each be validly issued and
          outstanding and entitled to the benefits of such Indenture or Trust
          Agreement, as applicable, and, if applicable, the related Policy.

                     (iv)     Neither the issuance nor sale of the Securities
          of the related Series nor the consummation of any other of the
          transactions herein contemplated, nor the fulfillment of the terms
          hereof or of the related Terms Agreement, will conflict with any
          statute, order or regulation applicable to the Company or FFI of
          any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental
          body having jurisdiction over the Company or FFI or with any
          organizational document of the Company or FFI or any instrument or
          any agreement under which the Company or FFI is bound or to which
          it is a party.

                      (v)     This Agreement and the related Terms Agreement
          have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company
          and FFI.

                     (vi)     At or prior to the related Closing Date, the
          Trust will have entered into the related Indenture, Trust Agreement
          and any Insurance Agreement and, assuming the due authorization,
          execution and delivery thereof by the other parties thereto, such 
          Indenture, such Trust Agreement and such Insurance Agreement (on 
          such Closing Date) will constitute the valid and binding agreement 
          of the Trust enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject, as 
          to enforceability, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other
          similar laws affecting creditors' rights and to general principles
          of equity (regardless of whether the enforceability of such
          Indenture, such Trust Agreement or such Insurance Agreement is
          considered in a proceeding in equity or at law).

                    (vii)     At or prior to the related Closing Date, the
          Company will have entered into the related Sale and Servicing
          Agreement and any related FHA Claims Agreement and, assuming the
          due authorization, execution and delivery thereof by the other
          parties thereto, such Sale and Servicing Agreement and such FHA
          Claims Agreement (on such Closing Date) will constitute the valid
          and binding agreement of the Company enforceable in accordance with
          its terms, subject, as to enforceability, to bankruptcy,
          insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
          creditors' rights and to general principles of equity (regardless
          of whether the enforceability of such Sale and Servicing Agreement
          or such FHA Claims Agreement is considered in a proceeding in
          equity or at law).

                   (viii)     The FHA Insurance Holder and the Transferor are
          each approved by the FHA as a lender under the Title I program and
          each holds a valid contract of insurance or approval for insurance
          under the Title I program; the FHA Insurance Holder will have
          received prior to each Closing Date or Subsequent Transfer Date, as
          the case may be, all material consents, authorizations, orders and
          approvals from governmental authorities, agencies or bodies and all
          other material actions will have been taken prior to such Closing
          Date or Subsequent Transfer Date which are necessary to permit the
          FHA Insurance Holder to obtain the benefit of the FHA Insurance in
          respect of the related Title I Home Loan as described in the
          related Final Prospectus, and the Transferor and the FHA Insurance
          Holder will have completed prior to each Closing Date or Subsequent
          Transfer Date, as the case may be, all material actions that are
          necessary to duly and validly effect the transfer of the FHA
          Insurance applicable to the Title I Home Loans into the FHA
          contract of insurance coverage reserve account of the FHA Insurance
          Holder. 

                     (ix)     If applicable, the related Policy, when
          delivered, will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation
          of the Securities Insurer, enforceable in accordance with its
          terms.

                      (x)     Any funds or accounts established from time to
          time with respect to a Series of Securities in accordance with the
          related Indenture, Trust Agreement or Sale and Servicing Agreement
          will have been properly funded at the Closing Date by the deposit
          by the Seller of the requisite cash therein, in the manner
          specified by such Indenture, Trust Agreement or Sale and Servicing
          Agreement.

                     (xi)     Immediately prior to the transfer and
          assignment thereof on the Closing Date, and on any Subsequent
          Transfer Date, the Transferor had good title to, and was the sole
          owner of, each Home Loan and all action had been taken to obtain
          good record title to each related Home Loan.  Each Home Loan will,
          as of such date(s), be transferred free and clear of any lien,
          mortgage, pledge, charge, security interest, adverse claim or other
          encumbrance. 

                    (xii)     Neither the Seller, the Transferor, the Trust
          nor any funds or accounts established thereunder is an "investment
          company" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
          amended (the "1940 Act")) or is under the "control" (as such term
          is defined in the 1940 Act) of an "investment company" that is
          registered or required to be registered under, or is otherwise
          subject to the provisions of, the 1940 Act.

          2.   Purchase and Sale.  Subject to the execution of the Terms
               -----------------

Offered Securities of a Series shall be made at the specified offices of
Andrews & Kurth L.L.P., at 10:00 a.m. New York City time, on the Closing Date
specified in the related Terms Agreement, which date and time may be

Securities shall be made to the Underwriters against payment by the
Underwriters of the Purchase Price thereof to or upon the order of the

          4.   Offering by the Underwriters.  It is understood that the
               ----------------------------
Underwriters propose to offer the Offered Securities of the related Series
for sale to the public as set forth in the related Final Prospectus.

          5.   Agreements.  The Company and FFI agree with the
               ----------
Underwriters that:

               (a)  The Company will cause each of the Preliminary Prospectus
     and the Final Prospectus as supplemented by a Prospectus Supplement
     relating to the Offered Securities to be filed pursuant to Rule 424
     under the Act and will promptly advise the Underwriters when such
     Preliminary Prospectus and such Final Prospectus as so supplemented have
     been so filed, and prior to the termination of the Offering to which
     such Preliminary Prospectus and Final Prospectus relate also will
     promptly advise the Underwriters (i) when any amendment to the related
     Registration Statement specifically relating to such Offered Securities
     shall have become effective or any further supplement to such
     Preliminary Prospectus or such Final Prospectus has been filed, (ii) of
     any request by the Commission for any amendment of such Registration
     Statement, Preliminary Prospectus or Final Prospectus or for any
     additional information, (iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any
     stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement
     or the institution or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and
     (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any written notification with 
     respect to the suspension of the qualification of such Offered Securities
     for sale in any jurisdiction or the initiation or threatening of any 
     proceeding for such purpose.  The Company will not file any amendment of 
     the related Registration Statement or supplement to the related 
     Preliminary Prospectus or Final Prospectus (other than any amendment or 
     supplement specifically relating to one or more Series of asset-backed 
     securities other than the Series that includes the related Offered 
     Securities) unless (i) the Company has given reasonable notice to the 
     Underwriters of its intention to file any such amendment or supplement, 
     (ii) the Company has furnished the Underwriters with a copy for their 
     review within a reasonable time prior to filing, and (iii) the 
     Underwriters do not reasonably object to the filing of such amendment or 
     supplement.  The Company will use its best efforts to prevent the 
     issuance of any such stop order and, if issued, to obtain as soon as 
     possible the withdrawal thereof.

               (b)  The Company will cause any Computational Materials and
     any Structural Term Sheets (each as defined in Section 8 below) with
     respect to the Offered Securities of a Series that are delivered by an
     Underwriter to the Company pursuant to Section 8 to be filed with the
     Commission on a Current Report on Form 8-K (each such filing of such
     materials and of any Collateral Term Sheets, a "Current Report")
     pursuant to Rule 13a-11 under the Exchange Act in accordance with
     Section 10 on the business day immediately following the date on which
     the related Terms Agreement is executed and delivered.  The Company will
     cause any Collateral Term Sheet (as defined in Section 9 below) with
     respect to the Offered Securities of a Series that is delivered by the
     Underwriters to the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section
     9 to be filed with the Commission on a Current Report pursuant to Rule
     13a-11 under the Exchange Act in accordance with Section 10 on the
     business day immediately following the day on which such Collateral Term
     Sheet is delivered to counsel for the Company by the Underwriters prior
     to 10:30 a.m.  In addition, if at any time prior to the availability of
     the related Prospectus Supplement, the Underwriters have delivered to
     any prospective investor a subsequent Collateral Term Sheet that
     reflects, in the reasonable judgment of the Underwriters and the
     Company, a material change in the characteristics of the Home Loans for
     the related Series from those on which a Collateral Term Sheet with
     respect to the related Series previously filed with the Commission was
     based, the Company will cause any such Collateral Term Sheet that is
     delivered by the Underwriters to the Company in accordance with the
     provisions of Section 9 hereof to be filed with the Commission on a
     Current Report in accordance with Section 10.  Each such Current Report 
     shall be incorporated by reference in the related Final Prospectus and 
     the related Registration Statement.

               (c)  If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered
     Securities of a Series is required to be delivered under the Act, any
     event occurs as a result of which the related Final Prospectus as then
     amended or supplemented would include any untrue statement of a material
     fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements
     therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
     misleading, or if it shall be necessary at any time to amend or
     supplement the related Final Prospectus to comply with the Act or the
     rules thereunder, the Company promptly will prepare and file with the
     Commission, subject to paragraph (a) of this Section 5, an amendment or
     supplement which will correct such statement or omission or an amendment
     which will effect such compliance; provided, however, that the Company
                                        --------  -------
     will not be required to file any such amendment or supplement with 
     respect to any Computational Materials, Structural Term Sheets or 
     Collateral Term Sheets incorporated by reference in the Final 
     Prospectus other than any amendments or supplements of such 
     Computational Materials or Structural Term Sheets as are furnished to 
     the Company by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 8(e) hereof or any 
     amendments or supplements of such Collateral Term Sheets that are 
     furnished to the Company by the Underwriters pursuant to Section 9(d)
     hereof which are required to be filed in accordance therewith.

               (d)  The Company will furnish to the Underwriters and counsel
     for the Underwriters, without charge, as many signed copies of the
     related Registration Statement (including exhibits thereto) and, so long
     as delivery of a prospectus by the Underwriters or a dealer may be
     required by the Act, as many copies of the related Preliminary
     Prospectus and the related Final Prospectus and any supplements thereto
     (other than exhibits to the related Current Report), as the Underwriters
     may reasonably request.

               (e)  The Company will furnish such information, execute such
     instruments and take such actions as may be reasonably requested by the
     Underwriters to qualify the Offered Securities of a Series for sale
     under the laws of such jurisdictions as the Underwriters may designate,
     to maintain such qualifications in effect so long as required for the
     distribution of such Offered Securities and to determine the legality of
     such Offered Securities for purchase by investors; provided, however,
                                                        --------  -------
     that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any 
     jurisdiction where it is not qualified on the date of the 
     related Terms Agreement or to take any action which would subject it to
     general or unlimited service of process or corporate or franchise
     taxation as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction in which it is
     not, on the date of the related Terms Agreement, subject to such service
     of process or such taxation.

               (f)  So long as the Offered Securities of a Series are
     outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Underwriters copies of the
     annual independent public accountants' servicing report furnished to the
     Indenture Trustee pursuant to the related Sale and Servicing Agreement.

               (g)  Whether or not the transactions contemplated hereby and
     by the related Terms Agreement shall be consummated, the Company shall
     be responsible for the payment of any costs and expenses for which
     details are submitted in connection with the performance of its
     obligations under this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement,
     including, without limitation, (i) the cost and expenses of printing or
     otherwise reproducing the related Registration Statement, the related
     Preliminary Prospectus, the related Final Prospectus, this Agreement,
     the related Terms Agreement, the related Sale and Servicing Agreement,
     the related Trust Agreement, the related Indenture and the Offered
     Securities, and (ii) the cost of delivering the related Offered
     Securities to the office of the Underwriters, insured to the
     satisfaction of the Underwriters, (iii) the fees and disbursements of
     the Seller's and the Servicer's counsel and accountants (including any
     fees and disbursements incurred in connection with any procedures
     performed with respect to the related Final Prospectus and any related
     Preliminary Prospectus) and any fees and disbursements incurred in
     connection with review of Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets,
     (iv) the qualification of the Securities under state securities or blue
     sky laws, including filing fees and the fees and disbursements of
     counsel for you in connection therewith and in connection with the
     preparation of any blue sky survey and legal investment survey, (v) the
     printing, word processing and duplicating expenses and supervision
     related to preparation of and delivery to the Underwriter of copies of
     any document contemplated hereunder and any blue sky survey and legal
     investment survey, (vi) the fees of rating agencies, (vii) the fees and
     expenses, if any, incurred in connection with the listing of the Offered
     Securities on any national securities exchange, (viii) the fees, if any,

     expenses of the Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee, any custodian, 
     the backup servicer and the Securities Insurer, and their respective 
     counsel, and (x) any such other related expenses not specified above.

          6.   Conditions to the Obligations of the Underwriters.  The
               -------------------------------------------------
obligations of the Underwriters to purchase the Offered Securities of any
Series shall be subject to the accuracy in all material respects of the
representations and warranties on the part of the Company and FFI contained
in this Agreement, as supplemented by the related Terms Agreement, as of the
respective dates thereof and the related Closing Date, to the accuracy of the
statements of the Company made in any applicable officers' certificates

obligations under this Agreement and such Terms Agreement and to the
following additional conditions applicable to the related Offering:

               (a)  No stop order suspending the effectiveness of the related
     Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for
     that purpose shall have been instituted or threatened.

     documents furnished by, officers of the parties to this Agreement, the
     related Terms Agreement, the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, the
     related Indenture, the related Trust Agreement or any related Insurance
     Agreement.  Such opinion may assume the due authorization, execution and
     delivery of the instruments and documents referred to therein by the
     parties thereto other than the Company.  Such opinion may be qualified,
     insofar as it concerns the enforceability of the documents referred to
     therein, to the extent that such enforceability may be limited by
     bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting
     the enforcement of creditors' rights in general and by general equity
     principles (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
     proceeding in equity or at law).  Such opinion may be further qualified
     as expressing no opinion as to (x) the statements in the related Final
     Prospectus under the heading "Certain Legal Aspects of the Loan Assets"

     Texas and the laws of the United States, and (y) the statements in such
     Final Prospectus under the headings "ERISA Considerations" and "Certain
     Federal Income Tax Consequences" except insofar as such statements

          any court or governmental agency or body is required for the
          consummation by (a) the Company of the transactions contemplated
          herein and in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement, Trust
          Agreement and Indenture or (b) by FFI of the transactions
          contemplated herein or in the related Sale and Servicing Agreement,
          except such as may be required under the blue sky laws of any
          jurisdiction and such other approvals as have been obtained;

                     (iv)     Neither the issuance of the Securities of the
          related Series nor delivery of the related Offered Securities, nor
          the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in
          this Agreement, the related Terms Agreement, the related Sale and
          Servicing Agreement, the related Trust Agreement, the related
          Indenture or the related Insurance Agreement, if any, nor the
          fulfillment of the terms of the related Securities, the related
          Sale and Servicing Agreement, the related Indenture, the related
          Trust Agreement, this Agreement, the related Terms Agreement or the
          related Insurance Agreement, as applicable, will conflict with or

          by-laws of the Company or FFI, as applicable, or any statute, order
          or regulation applicable to the Company of any court, regulatory
          body, administrative agency or governmental body having

          Company or FFI is a party or by which it is bound; and

                      (v)     There are no actions, proceedings or
          investigations pending or, to the best knowledge of such counsel,
          threatened, before any court, administrative agency or other
          tribunal (i) asserting the invalidity of this Agreement, the
          related Terms Agreement, the related Sale and Servicing Agreement,
          the related Trust Agreement, the related Indenture, the related
          Insurance Agreement, if any, or the related Securities, (ii)
          seeking to prevent the issuance of the Securities of the related
          Series or the consummation by the Company or FFI, as applicable, of
          any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, such Terms
          Agreement, such Sale and Servicing Agreement, such Indenture, such
          Trust Agreement or such Insurance Agreement, if any, or (iii) which
          might materially and adversely affect the performance by the
          Company or FFI, as applicable, of its obligations under, or the
          validity or enforceability of, this Agreement, such Terms
          Agreement, such Sale and Servicing Agreement, such Indenture, such
          Trust Agreement, such Insurance Agreement, if any, or the related
          Securities.

     In rendering his opinion such counsel may rely as to matters of fact, to
     the extent deemed proper and as stated therein, on certificates of
     responsible officers of the Company or FFI or of public officials.  

               (d)  The Underwriters shall have received from Brown & Wood
     LLP, counsel for the Underwriters, such opinion or opinions, dated the
     related Closing Date, with respect to the issuance and sale of the
     Securities of the related Series, the related Registration Statement,
     the related Final Prospectus and such other related matters in form and
     substance that is customary and reasonably acceptable to the
     Underwriters, and the Company shall have furnished to such counsel such
     documents as the Underwriters may reasonably request for the purpose of
     enabling them to pass upon such matters.

               (e)  The Company shall have furnished to the Underwriters a
     certificate of the Company, signed by the President or any Vice
     President and dated the related Closing Date, to the effect that the
     signers of such certificate have carefully examined the related
     Registration Statement (excluding any Current Reports and any other 
     documents incorporated by reference therein), the related Final 
     Prospectus, the Form 8-K relating to the Subsequent Home Loans, this 
     Agreement and the related Terms Agreement and that:

                      (i)     the representations and warranties of the
          Company in this Agreement, as supplemented by the related Terms
          Agreement, are true and correct in all material respects on and as

          satisfied at or prior to such Closing Date;

                     (ii)     no stop order suspending the effectiveness of
          such Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for
          that purpose have been instituted or, to their knowledge,
          threatened; and

                    (iii)     nothing has come to their attention that would
          lead them to believe that such Registration Statement (excluding
          any Current Report) contains any untrue statement of a material
          fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated
          therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
          that the related Final Prospectus (excluding any related Current
          Report) contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits
          to state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
          in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not
          misleading, or that the Form 8-K relating to the Subsequent Home
          Loans includes any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to
          state any information which the Final Prospectus states will be
          included in such Form 8-K.

               (f)  Counsel for the Indenture Trustee shall have furnished to

     tax law where the Owner Trustee maintains possession of the assets of 
     the Trust Fund as are customary and reasonably satisfactory to the 
     Underwriters.

               (h)  Ernst & Young LLP shall have furnished to the
     Underwriters one or more letters in form and substance that is customary
     and reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters to the effect that they
     have performed certain specified procedures requested by the
     Underwriters with respect to certain information relating to the Offered
     Securities and certain matters relating to the Company and the Servicer.

               (i)  The Policy relating to the Offered Securities of the
     related Series, if any, shall have been duly executed and issued prior
     to the Closing Date, in form and substance that is customary and
     reasonably satisfactory to the Underwriters, and shall conform in all
     respects to the description thereof in the Prospectus.

               (j)  If applicable, counsel for the Securities Insurer shall
     have furnished to the Underwriters an opinion, dated the related Closing
     Date, in form and substance that is customary and reasonably acceptable

     Insurer.

          In rendering such opinion such counsel may rely as to matters of

     officials.

               (k)  The Owner Trustee shall have received from the Seller all
     funds required to be delivered by the Seller to be deposited in any
     account required to be established in accordance with the related Trust
     Agreement.

               (l)  If applicable, the Servicer, as FHA Claims Administrator,
     and the Seller, as FHA Insurance Holder, shall have executed and
     delivered the FHA Claims Agreement in form and substance reasonably
     acceptable to the Underwriters.

               (m)  The Offered Securities of the related Series shall have
     received the ratings specified in the related Terms Agreement (the
     "Required Ratings").

               (n)  On or prior to the Closing Date, there shall have been no
     downgrading, nor shall any notice have been given of (i) any intended or
     possible downgrading or (ii) any review or possible changes, the
     direction of which has not been indicated, of the rating accorded and
     originally requested by the Company relating to any previously issued

     statistical rating organization" (as such term is defined for purposes
     of the Exchange Act).

               (o)  If applicable, on or prior to the Closing Date, there has
     been no downgrading, not shall any notice have been given of (i) any
     intended or possible downgrading or (ii) any review or possible changes,

     purposes of the Exchange Act).

               (p)  Subsequent to the date of the related Terms Agreement,
     there shall not have been any change, or any development involving a
     prospective change, in or affecting the business or properties of (i)
     the Company, its parent company or any of its subsidiaries or
     affiliates, (ii) the Transferor or (iii) the Securities Insurer, if any,
     which the Underwriters conclude, in their reasonable judgment, after
     consultation with the Company, materially impairs the investment quality
     of the Offered Securities of the related Series so as to make it
     impractical or inadvisable to proceed with the public offering or the
     delivery of such Offered Securities as contemplated by the related Final
     Prospectus.

               (q)  Prior to the related Closing Date, the Company shall have

          If any of the conditions specified in this Section 6 shall not have
been fulfilled in all material respects with respect to the particular
Offered Securities of a Series when and as provided in this Agreement and the
related Terms Agreement, or if any of the opinions and certificates mentioned
above or elsewhere in this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement shall
not be in all material respects reasonably satisfactory in form and substance
to the Underwriters and their counsel, this Agreement (with respect to the
related Offered Securities) and the related Terms Agreement and all
obligations of the Underwriters hereunder (with respect to the related
Offered Securities) and thereunder may be canceled at, or at any time prior
to, the related Closing Date by the Underwriters.  Notice of such
cancellation shall be given to the Company in writing, or by telephone or
telegraph confirmed in writing.

          7.   Indemnification and Contribution.  (a) The Company and FFI,
               --------------------------------
jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each Underwriter
and each person who controls any Underwriter within the meaning of the Act or
the Exchange Act against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, 
joint or several, to which they or any of them may become subject under the 
Act, the Exchange Act, or other Federal or state statutory law or regulation, 
at common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or 
liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon 
(i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact 
contained in the Registration Statement relating to the Offered Securities 
of the applicable Series as it became effective or in any amendment thereof 
or supplement thereto, (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in such
Registration Statement a material fact required to be stated therein or 
necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances 
under which they were made, not misleading, (iii) any untrue statement or 
alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the related 
Preliminary Prospectus or the related Final Prospectus or in the Form 8-K 
referred to in such Final Prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement 
thereto, or (iv) the omission or alleged omission to state in such Preliminary
Prospectus, such Final Prospectus or such Form 8-K a material fact necessary 
to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which 
they were made, not misleading, and agree to reimburse each such indemnified 
party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in 
connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, 
liability or action; provided, however, that the Company and FFI will not be 
                     --------  -------
liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or 
liability arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or 
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein (A) in 
reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the 
Company as herein stated by or on behalf of any Underwriter through you 
specifically for use in connection with the preparation thereof or (B) 
in any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets (as defined in 
Section 9(a) below) furnished to prospective investors by the Underwriters 
or any Current Report or any amendment or supplement thereof, except to 
the extent that any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement
therein or omission therefrom results directly from an error (a "Home Loan
Pool Error") in the information concerning the characteristics of the Home
Loans furnished by the Company to any Underwriter in writing or by electronic
transmission that was used in the preparation of either (x) any Computational
Materials or ABS Term Sheets (or amendments or supplements thereof) included
in such Current Report (or amendment or supplement thereof) or (y) any
written or electronic materials furnished to prospective investors on which
the Computational Materials (or amendments or supplements thereof) were
based.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability that
the Company or FFI may otherwise have.

          (b)  Each Underwriter agrees, severally, and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its
officers who signs the Registration Statement relating to the Offered
Securities of the applicable Series, and each person who controls the Company
within the meaning of the Act or the Exchange Act to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnities from the Company to each Underwriter, but only with
reference to (A) written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf
of such Underwriter through you specifically for use in the preparation of
the documents referred to in the foregoing indemnity with respect to the
related Series, or (B) any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets (or
amendments or supplements thereof) delivered to prospective investors by such
Underwriter, including any Computational Materials or ABS Term Sheets that
are furnished to the Company by such Underwriter pursuant to Section 8 and
incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement, the related
Preliminary Prospectus or the related Final Prospectus or any amendment or
supplement thereof (except that no such indemnity shall be available for any
losses, claims, damages or liabilities, or actions in respect thereof,
resulting from any Home Loan Pool Error).

          (c)  Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this
Section 7 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party
will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying
party under this Section 7, notify such indemnifying party in writing of the
commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify such indemnifying party
will not relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified
party otherwise than under this Section 7.  In case any such action is
brought against any indemnified party, and it notifies the indemnifying party
or parties of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party or parties
will be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that they may
elect by written notice delivered to an indemnified party promptly after
receiving the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, to assume the
defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party;
provided, however, that if the defendants in any such action include both an
- --------  -------
indemnified party and an indemnifying party and such indemnified party shall 
have reasonably concluded that there may be legal defenses available to it 
and/or other indemnified parties which are different from or additional to 
those available to an indemnifying party, such indemnified party or parties 
shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert such legal defenses
and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action on behalf of such 
indemnified party or parties.  Upon receipt of notice from an indemnifying 
party or parties to such indemnified party of their election so to assume the
defense of such action and approval by such indemnified party of counsel, 
such indemnifying party or parties will not be liable to such indemnified 
party under this Section 7 for any legal or other expenses subsequently 
incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof 
unless (i) such indemnified party shall have employed separate counsel in 
connection with the assertion of legal defenses in accordance with the 
proviso to the immediately preceding sentence (it being understood, however, 
that the indemnifying party or parties shall not be liable for the expenses 
of more than one separate counsel approved by the indemnified party or 
parties in the case of subparagraph (a) or (b), representing the indemnified 
parties under subparagraph (a) or (b) who are parties to such action), (ii) 
the indemnifying party or parties shall not have employed counsel 
satisfactory to the indemnified party or parties to represent such 
indemnified party or parties within a reasonable time after notice 
of commencement of the action or (iii) the indemnifying party or 
parties have authorized the employment of counsel for an indemnified party 
at the expense of the indemnifying parties; and except that, if clause (i) 
or (iii) is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the 
counsel referred to in such clause (i) or (iii).

          (d)  If the indemnification provided for in paragraph (a) or (b) of
this Section 7 is due in accordance with its terms but is for any reason held
by a court to be unavailable from the Company, FFI or any Underwriter, on
grounds of policy or otherwise, or if an indemnified party failed to give
notice under paragraph (c) of this Section 7 in respect of a claim otherwise
subject to indemnification in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b) of this
Section 7, the Company, FFI and each Underwriter shall contribute to the
aggregate losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including legal and other
expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending
same) to which the Company, FFI and such Underwriter may be subject in such
proportion so that such Underwriter is responsible for that portion
represented by the difference between the portion of the proceeds to the
Company in respect of the Offered Securities underwritten by such Underwriter
for the related Series and the portion of the total proceeds received by such
Underwriter from the sale of such Offered Securities (the "Underwriting
Discount"), and the Company and FFI are responsible for the balance;
provided, however, that in no case shall any such Underwriter be 
- --------  -------
responsible under this subparagraph for any amount in excess of 
such Underwriting Discount applicable to the Offered Securities 
purchased by such Underwriter pursuant to this Agreement and the
related Terms Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Section 7(d), no person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from
any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  For
purposes of this Section 7, each person who controls any Underwriter within
the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act shall have the same rights
to contribution as such Underwriter, and each person who controls the Company
or FFI within the meaning of either the Act or the Exchange Act, each officer 
of the Company who shall have signed the Registration Statement and each 
director of the Company or FFI shall have the same rights to contribution as 
the Company or FFI, subject in each case to the immediately preceding sentence
of this paragraph (d).

          8.   Computational Materials and Structural Term Sheets.  (a) In
               --------------------------------------------------
accordance with Section 10, the Underwriters shall deliver to the Company one

Peabody Acceptance Corporation I, Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated, and
Kidder Structured Asset Corporation and the no-action letter dated May 27,
1994 issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the
Public Securities Association (together, the "Kidder Letters"), the filing of
which material is a condition of the relief granted in such letters (such
materials being the "Computational Materials"), and (ii) "Structural Term
Sheets" within the meaning of the no-action letter dated February 17, 1995
issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the Public
Securities Association (the "PSA Letter"), the filing of which material is a
condition of the relief granted in such letter (such materials being the
"Structural Term Sheets").  Each delivery of Computational Materials and
Structural Term Sheets to the Company pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be
effected in accordance with Section 10.

          (b)  Each Underwriter represents and warrants to and agrees with
the Company, as of the date of the related Terms Agreement and as of the
Closing Date, that:

               (i)  the Computational Materials furnished to the Company by
          such Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(a) constitute (either in
          original, aggregated or consolidated form) all of the materials
          furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter prior to the
          time of delivery thereof to the Company that are required to be
          filed with the Commission with respect to the related Offered
          Securities in accordance with the Kidder Letters, such
          Computational Materials comply with the requirements of the Kidder
          Letters, and delivery of such Computational Materials was made to
          investors in a manner in accordance with the provisions of the
          Kidder Letters;

              (ii)  the Structural Term Sheets furnished to the Company by
          such Underwriter pursuant to Section 8(a) constitute all of the
          materials furnished to prospective investors by such Underwriter
          prior to the time of delivery thereof to the Company that are 
          required to be filed with the Commission as "Structural Term Sheets"
          with respect to the related Offered Securities in accordance with 
          the PSA Letter, such Structural Term Sheets comply with the 
          requirements of the PSA Letter, and delivery of such Structural 
          Term Sheets was made to investors in a manner in accordance with 
          the provisions of the PSA Letter; and

              (iii) on the date any such Computational Materials or
          Structural Term Sheets with respect to such Offered Securities (or
          any written or electronic materials furnished to prospective
          investors on which the Computational Materials are based) were last
          furnished to each prospective investor by such Underwriter and on
          the date of delivery thereof to the Company pursuant to Section
          8(a) and on the related Closing Date, such Computational Materials
          (or such other materials) or Structural Term Sheets did not and
          will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or, when
          read in conjunction with the Final Prospectus and Prospectus
          Supplement, omit to state a material fact required to be stated
          therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Underwriter makes no representation or
warranty as to whether any Computational Materials or Structural Term Sheets
(or any written or electronic materials on which the Computational Materials
are based) included or will include any untrue statement resulting directly
from any Home Loan Pool Error.

          (c)  If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered
Securities of a Series is required to be delivered under the Act, it shall be
necessary to amend or supplement the related Final Prospectus as a result of
an untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Computational
Materials or Structural Term Sheets provided by any Underwriter pursuant to
this Section 8 or the omission to state therein a material fact required,
when considered in conjunction with the related Final Prospectus and
Prospectus Supplement, to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein, when read in conjunction with the related Final
Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, not misleading, or if it shall be
necessary to amend or supplement any Current Report relating to any
Computational Materials or Structural Term Sheets to comply with the Act or
the rules thereunder, such Underwriter promptly will prepare and furnish to
the Company for filing with the Commission an amendment or supplement which
will correct such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect
such compliance.  Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company, as

that such amendment or supplement will not include any untrue statement of a 
material fact or, when read in conjunction with the related Final Prospectus 
and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a material fact required to be 
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; 
provided, however, that each such Underwriter makes no representation or 
- --------  -------
warranty as to whether any such amendment or supplement will include any 
untrue statement resulting directly from any Home Loan Pool Error.

          9.   Collateral Term Sheets.  (a)  Prior to the delivery of any
               ----------------------
"Collateral Term Sheet" within the meaning of the PSA Letter, the filing of
which material is a condition of the relief granted in such letter (such
material being the "Collateral Term Sheets"), to a prospective investor in
the Offered Securities, the Underwriters shall notify the Company and its
counsel by telephone of their intention to deliver such materials and the
approximate date on which the first such delivery of such materials is
expected to occur.  Not later than 10:30 a.m., New York time, on the business
day immediately following the date on which any Collateral Term Sheet was
first delivered to a prospective investor in the Offered Securities, the
Underwriters shall deliver to the Company one complete copy of all materials
provided by the Underwriters to prospective investors in such Offered
Securities which constitute "Collateral Term Sheets."  Each delivery of a
Collateral Term Sheet to the Company pursuant to this paragraph (a) shall be
effected in accordance with Section 10.  (Collateral Term Sheets and
Structural Term Sheets are, together, referred to herein as "ABS Term
Sheets.")  At the time of each such delivery, the Underwriter making such
delivery shall indicate in writing that the materials being delivered
constitute Collateral Term Sheets, and, if there has been any prior such
delivery with respect to the related Series, shall indicate whether such
materials differ in any material respect from any Collateral Term Sheets
previously delivered to the Company with respect to such Series pursuant to
this Section 9(a) as a result of the occurrence of a material change in the
characteristics of the related Home Loans.

          (b)  Each Underwriter represents and warrants to and agrees with
the Company, as of the date of the related Terms Agreement and as of the
Closing Date, that:

                    (i)  The Collateral Term Sheets furnished to the Company

     with the Commission as "Collateral Term Sheets" with respect to the
     related Offered Securities in accordance with the PSA Letter, such
     Collateral Term Sheets comply with the requirements of the PSA Letter,
     and delivery of such Collateral Term Sheets was made to investors in a 
     manner in accordance with the provisions of the PSA Letter; and

                   (ii)  On the date any such Collateral Term Sheets with
     respect to such Offered Securities were last furnished to each
     prospective investor by such Underwriter and on the date of delivery
     thereof to the Company pursuant to Section 9(a) and on the related
     Closing Date, such Collateral Term Sheets did not and will not include
     any untrue statement of a material fact or, when read in conjunction
     with the Final Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, omit to state a
     material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
     statements therein not misleading.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Underwriter makes no representation or
warranty as to whether any Collateral Term Sheet included or will include any
untrue statement or material omission resulting directly from any Home Loan
Pool Error.

          (c)  If, at any time when a prospectus relating to the Offered
Securities of a Series is required to be delivered under the Act, it shall be
necessary to amend or supplement the related Final Prospectus as a result of
an untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Collateral Term
Sheets provided by any Underwriter pursuant to this Section 9 or the omission
to state therein a material fact required, when considered in conjunction
with the related Final Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, to be stated
therein or necessary to make the statements therein, when read in conjunction
with the related Final Prospectus and Prospectus Supplement, not misleading,
or if it shall be necessary to amend or supplement any Current Report
relating to any Collateral Term Sheets to comply with the Act or the rules
thereunder, such Underwriter promptly will prepare and furnish to the Company
for filing with the Commission an amendment or supplement which will correct
such statement or omission or an amendment which will effect such compliance. 
Each Underwriter represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date of
delivery of such amendment or supplement to the Company, that such amendment
or supplement will not include any untrue statement of a material fact or,
when read in conjunction with the related Final Prospectus and Prospectus
Supplement, omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; provided, however,
                                                         --------  -------
that each such Underwriter makes no representation or warranty as to whether 
any such amendment or supplement will include any untrue statement resulting
directly from any Home Loan Pool Error.

          11.  Termination.  This Agreement (with respect to a particular
               -----------
Offering) and the related Terms Agreement shall be subject to termination in
the absolute discretion of the Underwriters, by notice given to the Company
prior to delivery of and payment for the related Offered Securities, if prior
to the related Closing Date (i) trading in securities generally on the New
York Stock Exchange shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a
general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York shall have
been declared by either federal or New York State authorities, or (iii) there
shall have occurred any outbreak or material escalation of hostilities or
other calamity or crisis the effect of which on the financial markets of the
United States is such as to make it, in the reasonable judgment of the
Underwriters, impracticable to market such Offered Securities.

          12.  Representations and Indemnities to Survive Delivery.  The
               ---------------------------------------------------
agreements, representations, warranties, indemnities and other statements of
the Company, FFI or their officers and of the Underwriters set forth in or
made pursuant to this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement will remain
in full force and effect, regardless of any investigation made by or on
behalf of the Underwriters or the Company, FFI or any of the officers,
directors or controlling persons referred to in Section 7 hereof, and will
survive delivery of and payment for the related Offered Securities.  The
provisions of Section 7 hereof shall survive the termination or cancellation
of this Agreement and the related Terms Agreement.

          13.  Default by One or More of the Underwriters.  If one or more
               ------------------------------------------
of the Underwriters shall fail on the Closing Date to purchase the Offered
Securities which it or they are obligated to purchase hereunder and under the
applicable Terms Agreement (the "Defaulted Securities"), you shall have the 
right, within 24 hours thereafter, to make arrangements for one or more of 
the non-defaulting Underwriters, or any other underwriters, to purchase all,

     Subject to the terms of this Indenture,  the Issuer hereby Grants to the
Indenture Trustee at  the Closing Date, as Indenture Trustee  for the benefit

provide for  the registration of  Notes and the registration  of transfers of
Notes.  The Indenture Trustee initially shall be the "Note Registrar" for the
purpose of  registering Notes and transfers of Notes as herein provided. Upon
any resignation of any  Note Registrar, the Issuer  shall promptly appoint  a
successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties
of Note Registrar.

     If a Person other than the Indenture Trustee is appointed by  the Issuer

notice of the appointment of such Note Registrar and of the location, and any
change in the location, of the Note Register, and the Indenture Trustee shall

Noteholder shall  be entitled to  obtain from  the Indenture Trustee,  in the

amount.  At the option of the Holder, Notes  may be exchanged for other Notes
of the  same Class  in  any authorized  denominations,  of a  like  aggregate
principal amount, upon surrender of the Notes to be exchanged at  such office
or agency.  Whenever any Notes  are so  surrendered for exchange,  the Issuer
shall  execute,  and  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  authenticate   and  the
Noteholder shall be entitled to obtain from the Indenture Trustee,  the Notes
which the Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.

     All Notes issued upon any registration  of transfer or exchange of Notes
shall be the valid  obligations of the Issuer, evidencing the  same debt, and
entitled to the same benefits under  this Indenture,  as the  Notes 
surrendered  upon such  registration of transfer or exchange.

     Any Note  presented  or  surrendered for  registration  of  transfer  or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument
of transfer in form  satisfactory to the Indenture Trustee  duly executed by,
the Holder thereof or such Holder'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.

     No service charge shall be made to a Noteholder for any  registration of
transfer or  exchange of Notes, but the  Issuer may require payment  of a sum
sufficient to cover  any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any registration of  transfer or exchange of Notes,  other
than exchanges  pursuant to Section  2.04 or  Section 9.06 not  involving any
transfer. 

     The preceding  provisions of  this Section  notwithstanding, the  Issuer
shall not  be  required to  make and  the Note  Registrar  need not  register
transfers or exchanges of Notes selected for redemption or of any Note  for a
period of 15 days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to such
Note.

     Section 2.04.  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,  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, or shall  have been  called for redemption,  instead of
issuing a replacement Note, the Issuer may pay such destroyed, lost or stolen
Note when so  due or payable or  upon the Termination Date  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, the Issuer
may require the  payment by the  Holder of such Note  of a sum  sufficient to
cover any tax  or other governmental charge  that may be imposed  in relation
thereto and any other reasonable expenses (including the fees and expenses of
the Indenture Trustee) connected therewith.

     Every replacement Note issued pursuant to this Section 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 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.

               accordance with the provisions of this Indenture and delivered
               against  payment therefor,    will  be  the legal,  valid  and
               binding  obligations of  the Issuer  pursuant to the  terms of
               this Indenture  and will be  entitled to the benefits  of this

               rights of  creditors generally  and to  general principles  of
               equity (regardless  of whether such enforcement  is considered
               in a proceeding in equity or at law); 

                    (D)  all instruments  furnished to the  Indenture Trustee
               as conditions precedent to the authentication  of the Notes by
               the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the Indenture conform to the
               requirements   of  this  Indenture   and  constitute  all  the
               documents required to be delivered hereunder for the Indenture

                    (F)  assuming due  authorization, execution  and delivery
               thereof by the Indenture Trustee, this Indenture has been duly
               executed  and delivered by  Issuer and constitutes  the legal,
               valid  and  binding  obligation  of  the  Issuer,  enforceable
               against the  Issuer in accordance  with its terms,  subject to
               bankruptcy,    insolvency,     reorganization,    arrangement,
               moratorium, fraudulent  or preferential  conveyance and  other
               similar  laws of general  application affecting the  rights of
               creditors generally and to  general principles of equity

                    (G)  The  Issuer is not  required to be  registered under
               the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended;

                    (H)  The  Notes  will  be  treated  as  indebtedness  for
               federal income tax purposes;

                    (I)  The  Issuer   will  not   be  characterized   as  an
               association  (or  publicly traded  partnership)  taxable as  a
               corporation;

                    (J)  This Indenture  has  been duly  qualified under  the
               Trust Indenture Act of 1939;

                    (K)  The  delivery by  the Issuer  to  the Custodian,  on
               behalf of the Indenture Trustee, in the State of Texas  of the
               Debt  Instruments pursuant to  the Indenture will  perfect the
               security interest in favor of the  Indenture Trustee under the
               Texas UCC  in all right, title  and interest of the  Issuer in
               such  Debt Instruments  and,  assuming  the Indenture  Trustee
               acquires  its  interest  in  such  Debt  Instruments   without
               knowledge that  the same  are subject  to a  security interest

               Indenture  Trustee will acquire such security interest in such
               Debt Instruments  free and clear of  any prior lien of  a kind

               proceeds (as defined in the  Texas UCC) of collateral in which
               another party  has a  prior perfected  security interest,  the
               Indenture  Trustee will acquire such security interest in such
               proceeds free and clear of any prior lien of a kind  which may
               be perfected under Article 9 of the Texas UCC.

               of the Home Loans to the Indenture Trustee;

                    (C)  the  Issuer has Granted to the Indenture Trustee all

Opinions of Counsel required pursuant to subsection (a)(v) above.

of  the Book-Entry  Notes representing  beneficial  interests aggregating  at
least a majority of the Outstanding Amount  of such Notes advise the Clearing
Agency in writing  that the continuation of  a book-entry system  through the
Clearing Agency is  no longer in the best interests of such Note Owners, then
the Clearing Agency shall notify all Note Owners and the Indenture Trustee of
the occurrence of such event and  of the availability of Definitive Notes  to
Note Owners requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Indenture Trustee of 
the typewritten Notes representing the Book-Entry  Notes  by the  Clearing

any delay  in delivery of such  instructions and may  conclusively  rely on,
and  shall  be  protected  in relying  on,  such instructions.  Upon  the 
issuance of Definitive Notes,  the Indenture Trustee shall recognize the 
Holders of the Definitive Notes as Noteholders.

     Section 2.13.  Tax.  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  of  the Issuer  secured  by the  Collateral.    The Issuer,  by
entering into  this Indenture, and  each Noteholder, by  its acceptance of  a
Note (and each Note  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  of the
Issuer.

                    ---------------------------------
and  punctually pay  (or  will cause  to  be duly  and  punctually paid)  the
principal of and  interest on the Notes in  accordance with the terms  of the
Notes and this Indenture.   Without limiting the foregoing, unless  the Notes
have  been declared  due  and  payable pursuant  to  Section 5.02 and  moneys
collected  by the  Indenture Trustee  are  being applied  in accordance  with
Section 5.05(b),  subject  to and  in  accordance with  Section  8.02(a), the
Issuer will  cause  to be  distributed all  amounts on  deposit  in the  Note
Payment Account on a Payment Date deposited therein pursuant to the  Sale and
Servicing  Agreement  for the  benefit of  the  Notes of  each Class,  to the
Holders thereof.  Amounts properly withheld under the Code by any Person from
a  payment to any Noteholder of interest and/or principal shall be considered
as having been paid by the Issuer to such Noteholder for all purposes of this
Indenture

     The  Notes shall be non-recourse obligations  of the Issuer and shall be
limited  in right  of payment  to  amounts available  from the  Collateral as
provided  in this Indenture.   The Issuer  shall not otherwise  be liable for
payments  of the Notes, and none of  the owners, agents, officers, directors,
employees, or successors or assigns of  the Issuer shall be personally liable
for  any  amounts  payable,  or performance  due,  under  the  Notes  or this
Indenture.   If any  other provision  of this  Indenture shall  be deemed  to
conflict with  the provisions  of this Section 3.01,  the provisions  of this
Section 3.01 shall control.

     Section 3.02.  Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Issuer will or will
                    -------------------------------

of transfer or exchange, and where notices and demands  to or upon the Issuer
in respect  of the Notes and this Indenture may be served.  The Issuer hereby
initially  appoints the Administrator to serve as its agent for the foregoing
purposes and to serve as Paying Agent with respect to  the Notes.  The Issuer
will give prompt written notice to the Indenture Trustee of the location, and
of any change in the  location, of any such office or agency.  If at any time
the Issuer shall fail to maintain any such  office or agency or shall fail to
furnish  the Indenture  Trustee with  the  address thereof,  such surrenders,
notices and demands may be made or served at the  Corporate Trust Office, and
the Issuer hereby  appoints the Indenture Trustee as its agent to receive all
such surrenders, notices and demands.

     Section 3.03.  Money for Payments To Be Held in Trust.  All payments of
                    --------------------------------------
amounts due and  payable with respect to any  Notes that are to  be made from
amounts withdrawn  from the Collection  Account and the Note  Payment Account
pursuant  to Section  8.02(a) shall be  made on  behalf of the  Issuer by the
Indenture Trustee or by  the Paying Agent, and no amounts  withdrawn from the
Collection Account and  deposited in the Note Payment  Account for payment on
the  Notes  shall be  paid over  to  the Issuer  except as  provided  in this
Section.

     Any Paying Agent shall be appointed by Issuer  Order with written notice
thereof to the Indenture  Trustee.  Any Paying Agent appointed  by the Issuer
shall be a Person who would be eligible to be Indenture Trustee  hereunder as
provided in  Section 6.11.   The Issuer  shall not  appoint any  Paying Agent
(other  than  the  Indenture Trustee)  which  is  not, at  the  time  of such
appointment, a Depository Institution.

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

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

           (ii)     give the Indenture Trustee  notice of any default  by the
     Issuer  (or any  other obligor upon  the Notes)  of which it  has actual
     knowledge in the making of any payment required to be made  with respect
     to the Notes;

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

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

            (v)     comply with all requirements of  the Code with respect to
     the withholding  from  any payments  made  by it  on  any Notes  of  any
     applicable  withholding taxes  imposed thereon and  with respect  to any
     applicable  reporting requirements  in  connection therewith;  provided,
     however, that  with respect  to withholding  and reporting  requirements
     applicable to original issue discount (if any) on the Notes, the  Issuer
     shall have  first provided the  calculations pertaining  thereto to  the
     Indenture Trustee.

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

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

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

10.02 of the Trust Agreement shall be  the successor Owner Trustee under this
Indenture without the execution or filing of any paper, instrument or further
act to be done on the part of the parties hereto.

     (c)  Upon  any consolidation  or merger  of or  other succession  to the
Owner  Trustee, the  Person succeeding to  the Owner Trustee  under the Trust
Agreement may exercise every right and power  of the Owner Trustee under this
Indenture with the same effect as if  such Person had been named as the Owner
Trustee herein.

                    ---------------------------------------------------

permit any action  to be taken by  others that would release any  Person from
any of such  Person's material covenants or obligations  under any instrument
or  agreement  included  in  the  Collateral  or  that  would  result in  the
amendment, hypothecation,  subordination,  termination or  discharge  of,  or
impair the  validity or effectiveness  of, any such instrument  or agreement,
except  as expressly  provided  in  this Indenture,  the  Sale and  Servicing
Agreement or such other instrument or agreement.

     (b)  The Issuer may contract with  or otherwise obtain the assistance of
other Persons  (including, without  limitation, the  Administrator under  the
Administration Agreement)  to assist it  in performing its duties  under this
Indenture, and any performance of such  duties by a Person identified to  the
Indenture Trustee in an Officer's  Certificate of the Issuer shall be  deemed
to be action taken by the Issuer.  Initially, the Issuer  has contracted with
the Servicer  and the Administrator  to assist the  Issuer in performing  its
duties under this Indenture.  The Administrator must at all times be the same
Person as the Indenture Trustee.

               sufficient to  pay and  discharge the  entire indebtedness  on

and,  subject to Section 11.02,  each stating  that all  conditions precedent
herein  provided for  relating  to  the satisfaction  and  discharge of  this

substitution of mutilated,  destroyed, lost or stolen Notes,  (iii) rights of
Noteholders to receive  payments of principal  thereof and interest  thereon,

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  and deliver
proper instruments acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of this Indenture
with respect to the  Notes, and shall pay, or assign or transfer and deliver,
to or  at the direction of the  Issuer, all Collateral held by  it as part of

                    --------------------------
the  Indenture Trustee pursuant  to Sections 3.03  and  4.01  hereof shall be
held in trust  and applied by it,  in accordance with  the provisions of  the
Notes and  this Indenture,  to the  payment, either  directly or  through any
Paying Agent,  as the Indenture Trustee may determine,  to the Holders of the
particular Notes for the payment or redemption of which such moneys have been
deposited with  the Indenture  Trustee, of  all sums  due and  to become  due
thereon for  principal and interest; but  such moneys need  not be segregated
from  other funds except  to the  extent required herein  or in the  Sale and
Servicing Agreement or required by law.

     Section 4.03.  Repayment of Moneys Held by Paying Agent.  In connection
                    ----------------------------------------

     or agreement,  a default  in the observance  or performance of  which is
     elsewhere   in   this   Section  specifically   dealt   with),   or  any
     representation or  warranty of  the Issuer made  in this  Indenture, the
     Sale  and Servicing  Agreement or  in any  certificate or  other writing
     delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith proving to have been
     incorrect in  any material respect  as of the  time when the  same shall
     have been made, and such default shall continue  or not be cured, or the
     circumstance or condition in respect of  which such misrepresentation or
     warranty  was incorrect  shall  not have  been  eliminated or  otherwise
     cured, for  a period of  30 days after  there shall have been  given, by
     registered  or certified mail, to the Issuer by the Indenture Trustee or
     to the Issuer and  the Indenture Trustee by the Holders  of at least 25%
     of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, a written notice specifying such
     default or incorrect  representation or warranty and requiring  it to be
     remedied and stating that such notice is a notice  of Default hereunder;
     or 

           (iv)     the filing of  a decree  or order for  relief by a  court
     having jurisdiction  in the  premises in  respect of  the Issuer  or any
     substantial  part of  the Collateral  in an  involuntary case  under any
     applicable federal or state bankruptcy,  insolvency or other similar law
     now  or  hereafter in  effect,  or  appointing  a receiver,  liquidator,
     assignee,  custodian, trustee, sequestrator  or similar official  of the
     Issuer or  for any substantial part  of the Collateral, or  ordering the
     winding-up or  liquidation of the  Issuer's affairs, and such  decree or
     order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive
     days; or 

            (v)     the commencement by the Issuer of  a voluntary case under
     any applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or  other similar
     law now  or hereafter  in effect, or  the consent by  the Issuer  to the
     entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under  any such law,
     or the consent  by the Issuer to the appointment or taking possession by
     a receiver, liquidator,  assignee, custodian,  trustee, sequestrator  or
     similar  official of  the  Issuer or  for any  substantial  part of  the
     Collateral, or the  making by the Issuer  of any general assignment  for
     the benefit of creditors, or the failure by the Issuer generally  to pay
     its debts as such debts become due,  or the taking of any action by  the
     Issuer in furtherance of any of the foregoing.

          The Issuer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee, within five days
     after the occurrence thereof, written notice in the form of an Officer's
     Certificate of any event which with  the giving of notice and  the lapse
     of time  would become an Event of Default under clauses (iii) and (iv) 
     above, its status and what action the Issuer is taking or proposes to 
     take with respect thereto. 

     (b)  Neither (i) the failure to pay the full amount of interest  payable
pursuant  to Section 8.02(a)(iii) to the  Holders of any  Non-Priority Class,
nor (ii) an application of Allocable Loss Amounts pursuant to Section 5.07 of
the Sale and Servicing Agreement to a Non-Priority Class, shall constitute an
Event of Default under Section 5.01(a).

     Section 5.02.  Acceleration of Maturity; Rescission and Annulment.  If
                    --------------------------------------------------
an Event of  Default should occur and  be continuing, then and  in every such
case  the Indenture  Trustee may,  and  at the  direction or  upon  the prior
written  consent of  the Majority  Highest Priority  Class  Noteholders shall
declare all the  Notes to  be immediately  due and  payable, by  a notice  in
writing  to the  Issuer, and upon  any such declaration  the unpaid principal
amount  of such  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  has been
made  and before a judgment or  decree for payment of  the money due has been
obtained by the  Indenture Trustee as hereinafter in this Article V provided,
the Majority  Highest Priority  Class Noteholders, by  written notice  to the
Issuer and the Indenture Trustee, may rescind  and annul such declaration and
its  consequences if  the  Issuer has  paid or  deposited with  the Indenture
Trustee a sum sufficient to pay: 

     (a)  all payments of  principal of and interest on  all Highest Priority
Class Notes and all  other amounts that would then  be due hereunder or  upon
such Highest Priority Class Notes if the Event of Default giving rise to such
acceleration had not occurred; and

     (b)  all sums  paid or advanced  by the Indenture Trustee  hereunder and
the  reasonable compensation,  expenses, disbursements  and  advances of  the
Indenture Trustee and its agents and counsel; and

     (c)  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.  Non-Priority Classes.  The Holders of Notes of a Non
                    --------------------
Priority  Class shall have no right  to exercise any remedies of Noteholders'
under  this Article V,  except  to the  extent  otherwise expressly  provided
herein.

     Section 5.04.  Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement by
                    -------------------------------------------------------
Indenture Trustee.  (a)  The Issuer covenants that if default is made in the
- -----------------
payment of  any interest  on any Highest  Priority Class  Note when  the same
becomes due and  payable, and  such default  continues for a  period of  five
days, the  Issuer  will, upon  demand of  the Indenture  Trustee  or, at  the
direction  of the  Majority Highest  Priority Class  Noteholders, pay  to the
Indenture Trustee, for  the benefit of  the Holders of  the Notes, the  whole
amount then  due  and payable  on such  Notes for  interest  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  may, and  shall,  at the  direction of  the  Majority Highest
Priority Class Noteholders, institute a  Proceeding for the collection of the
sums so  due and  unpaid, and may  prosecute such  Proceeding to  judgment or
final decree, and  may enforce the same  against the Issuer or  other obligor
upon such Notes and collect in the manner provided by law out of the property
of the Issuer or other obligor upon such Notes, wherever situated, the moneys
adjudged or decreed to be payable.

     (c)  If  an Event  of Default  occurs and  is continuing,  the Indenture
Trustee may,  and shall,  at the direction  of the Majority  Highest Priority
Class  Noteholders, as  more particularly  provided in  Section 5.05,  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)  In case there shall be pending, relative to the Issuer or any other
obligor upon the Notes or any Person having or claiming an ownership interest
in the Collateral,  Proceedings under Title 11  of the United States  Code or
any other applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar
law,   or  in  case  a  receiver,   assignee  or  trustee  in  bankruptcy  or
reorganization,  liquidator, sequestrator or similar official shall have been
appointed for or taken possession of the Issuer or its property or such other
obligor or Person, or  in case of any  other comparable judicial  Proceedings
relative to the  Issuer or other obligor upon the Notes,  or to the creditors
or property  of  the Issuer  or such  other obligor,  the Indenture  Trustee,
irrespective of  whether the  principal of any  Notes shall  then be  due and
payable as therein expressed or  by declaration or otherwise and irrespective
of whether the Indenture Trustee shall  have made any demand pursuant to  the
provisions of this Section, shall be entitled and empowered, upon the 
direction  of the Majority Highest Priority  Class Noteholders, by  
intervention in such  Proceedings or otherwise: 

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

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

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

           (iv)     to  file  such  proofs  of  claim  and  other  papers  or
     documents as may be  necessary or advisable in order to  have the claims
     of the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes allowed in any judicial
     proceedings relative to the Issuer,  its creditors and its property; and
     any trustee, receiver,  liquidator, custodian or other  similar official
     in any such  Proceeding is hereby authorized by each of such Noteholders
     to  make payments to  the Indenture Trustee  and, in the  event that the
     Indenture Trustee  shall consent to  the making of payments  directly to
     such Noteholders, to pay to the Indenture Trustee such  amounts as shall
     be sufficient to cover reasonable compensation to the Indenture Trustee,
     each   predecessor  Indenture  Trustee   and  their  respective  agents,
     attorneys and counsel, and all  other expenses and liabilities incurred,
     and all  advances made,  by the Indenture  Trustee and  each predecessor
     Indenture Trustee except as a result of negligence or bad faith. 

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

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

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

     Section 5.05.  Remedies; Priorities.  (a)  If an Event of Default shall
                    --------------------
have occurred  and  be  continuing the  Indenture  Trustee may,  and  at  the
direction of the Majority Highest Priority Class Noteholders shall, do one or
more of the following (subject to Section 5.06):

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

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


          (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 or the Noteholders; and 

           (iv)     sell  the Collateral or any  portion thereof or rights or
     interest therein  in a  commercially reasonable manner,  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 Collateral following an Event of Default, unless
     (A) the  Holders of 100% of the Outstanding  Amount of the Notes consent
     thereto, (B) the  proceeds of such sale or  liquidation distributable to
     the Noteholders are sufficient to discharge in full all amounts then due
     and unpaid  upon  such  Notes  for  principal  (including  any  Deferred
     Amounts) and interest  or (C) the Indenture Trustee  determines that the
     Collateral will not continue to provide sufficient funds for the payment
     of principal  of (including  any Deferred Amounts)  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
     Holders of  66-2/3% of  the Outstanding Amount  of the  Highest Priority
     Class Notes.  In determining such sufficiency or  insufficiency with  
     respect to clause  (B) and  (C), the Indenture Trustee may, but need 
     not, obtain  and rely upon 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 
     Collateral for such purpose. 

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

          first: to the Indenture Trustee  for any costs or expenses incurred
     by it in connection with the enforcement of the remedies provided for in
     this Article V;

          second:  to the Servicer for the Servicing Fee then due and unpaid;

          third: to the  Noteholders for amounts due and unpaid  on the Notes
     for interest (including any premium), pro rata, according to the amounts
     due and payable on the Notes for interest (including any premium); 

          fourth: to Noteholders for amounts due  and unpaid on the Notes  in
     respect  of  principal,  pro  rata,  according  to the  Class  Principal
     Balances thereof, until the Outstanding Amount of each Class of Notes is
     reduced to zero; 

          fifth: to Holders of the Class M-1 Notes, Class M-2 Notes and Class
     B-1 Notes, pro  rata based  on the amount  of their respective  Deferred
     Amounts, such Deferred  Amounts if any, until such  Deferred Amounts are
     paid in full; 

          sixth:   to the Owner  Trustee or Co-Owner Trustee,  as applicable,
     for  amounts  required  to  be  distributed  to  the  Residual  Interest
     Certificate in respect of the A IO and B-2 Components;

          seventh: to  the Servicer for  any amounts then due  and payable as
     the Servicing  Advance Reimbursement Amount under the Sale and Servicing
     Agreement; and 

          eighth:  to  the Owner Trustee or Co-Owner  Trustee, as applicable,
     for any amounts  to be distributed to the  Residual Interest Certificate
     in respect of the Excess Component. 

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

     Section 5.06.  Optional Preservation of the Collateral.  If the Notes
                    ---------------------------------------
have been declared  to be  due and  payable under Section  5.02 following  an
Event  of Default  and such  declaration and  its consequences have  not been
rescinded and  annulled, the Indenture  Trustee may,  but need not,  elect to
maintain possession  of the  Collateral.   It is  the desire  of the  parties
hereto and the  Noteholders that there be  at all times sufficient  funds for
the  payment of  interest  and,  ultimately, principal  on  and any  Deferred
Amounts with respect to the Notes, and  the Indenture Trustee shall take such
desire into account when determining whether or not to maintain possession of
the  Collateral.   In  determining  whether  to  maintain possession  of  the
Collateral, the Indenture Trustee may, but need  not, obtain and rely upon an
opinion of an  Independent investment banking or accounting  firm of national
reputation  as to  the feasibility  of  such proposed  action and  as  to the
sufficiency of the Collateral for such purpose.

     Section 5.07.  Limitation of Suits.  No Holder of any Note shall have
                    -------------------
any right to institute any Proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to
this Indenture or for  the appointment of a receiver  or trustee, or for  any
other remedy hereunder, unless:

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

     (b)  the Majority Highest  Priority Class Noteholders 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  Holder or  Holders  have  offered  to the  Indenture  Trustee
reasonable  indemnity  against  the costs,  expenses  and  liabilities  to be
incurred in complying with such request; 

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

     (e)  no direction inconsistent with such  written request has been given
to the  Indenture Trustee during such  60-day period by the  Majority Highest
Priority Class Noteholders.

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

     In  the  event  the  Indenture  Trustee  shall  receive  conflicting  or
inconsistent requests  and indemnity  from two or  more groups of  Holders of
Notes, each representing less than the Majority  Highest Priority  Class 
Noteholders, the  Indenture Trustee  in its sole  discretion  may  determine 
what   action,  if  any,  shall  be  taken, notwithstanding any other 
provisions of this Indenture.

     Section 5.08.  Unconditional Rights of Noteholders To Receive Principal
                    --------------------------------------------------------
and Interest.  Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Indenture, the
- ------------
Holder of any Note shall have the right, which is absolute and unconditional,
to receive payment of the principal of and interest on, if any, and  Deferred
Amounts, if  any, on such Note on or after the Maturity Date (or, in the case
of redemption, on  or after the Termination  Date) and to institute  suit for
the enforcement of  any such payment,  and such right  shall not be  impaired
without the consent of such Holder. 

     Section 5.09.  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 5.10.  Rights and Remedies Cumulative.  No right or remedy
                    ------------------------------
herein  conferred  upon  or reserved  to  the  Indenture  Trustee or  to  the
Noteholders is intended  to be exclusive  of any other  right or remedy,  and
every right and remedy shall, to  the extent permitted by law, be  cumulative
and in addition  to every other  right and remedy  given hereunder or now  or
hereafter  existing  at law  or in  equity  or otherwise.   The  assertion or
employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not  prevent
the  concurrent assertion  or employment  of any  other appropriate  right or
remedy.

     Section 5.11.  Delay or Omission Not a Waiver.  No delay or omission of
                    ------------------------------
the Indenture  Trustee or  any Holder of  any Note  to exercise any  right or
remedy accruing upon  any Default or Event  of Default shall impair  any such
right or  remedy  or constitute  a waiver  of any  such Default  or 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 5.12.  Control by Noteholders.  The Majority Highest Priority
                    ----------------------
Class Noteholders  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 5.05,  any direction to the
Indenture Trustee to  sell or liquidate the Collateral shall be by Holders of
Notes representing not less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes;

     (c)  if the conditions set forth in Section 5.06 have been satisfied and
the  Indenture Trustee  elects  to  retain the  Collateral  pursuant to  such
Section, then  any direction  to the Indenture  Trustee by  Holders of  Notes
representing less than 100% of the Outstanding Amount of the Highest Priority
Class  Notes to sell  or liquidate  the Collateral 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 the Noteholders set forth in this Section,
subject to Section  6.01, the Indenture Trustee need not take any action that
it determines  might involve  it in liability  or might  materially adversely
affect the rights of any Noteholders not consenting to such action.

     Section 5.13.  Waiver of Past Defaults.  Prior to the declaration of the
                    -----------------------
acceleration of the  maturity of the Notes  as provided in Section  5.02, the
Majority Highest  Priority Class  Noteholders may waive  any past  Default or
Event of Default and its consequences except  a Default (a) in the payment of
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 Holder
of each Note, as applicable.  In the case of any such waiver, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee  and the Holders  of the Notes  shall be restored  to their
former positions and rights hereunder, respectively; but no such waiver shall
extend to  any subsequent  or other  Default or impair  any right  consequent
thereto.

     Upon any such waiver, such Default shall cease to exist and be deemed to
have been cured and  not to have occurred,  and 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  Default  or  Event of  Default  or  impair  any  right
consequent thereto.

     Section 5.14.  Undertaking for Costs.  All parties to this Indenture
                    ---------------------
agree, and each Holder of any Note  by such Holder's acceptance thereof shall
be  deemed to have agreed, that  any court may in  its discretion require, in
any suit  for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Indenture, or
in any suit against  the Indenture Trustee for any action  taken, suffered or
omitted by it as Indenture Trustee, the filing by any party litigant  in such
suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may
in  its discretion assess  reasonable costs, including  reasonable attorneys'
fees, against  any party  litigant in  such suit,  having due  regard to  the
merits and good faith of the claims  or defenses made by such party litigant;
but the provisions of this Section shall not apply to (a) any suit instituted
by the Indenture Trustee, (b) any suit instituted by any Noteholder, or group
of  Noteholders, in each case  holding in the aggregate  more than 10% of the
Outstanding Amount of the Notes or (c) any suit instituted by  any Noteholder
for the enforcement of the payment of principal of or interest on any Note on
or  after  the  respective due  dates  expressed  in such  Note  and  in this
Indenture (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the Termination Date).

     Section 5.15.  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 will 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 5.16.  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 Collateral  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 5.05(b).

     Section 5.17.  Performance and Enforcement of Certain Obligations.  (a) 
                    --------------------------------------------------
Promptly  following a request from the Indenture  Trustee to do so and at the
Issuer's expense,  the  Issuer shall  take  all  such lawful  action  as  the
Indenture  Trustee  may request  to  compel  or  secure the  performance  and
observance by the  Seller and the Servicer,  as applicable, of each  of their
obligations to the  Issuer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing
Agreement or by the Seller of its obligations under or in connection with the
Loan Sale Agreement, and to exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and
privileges  lawfully available to the Issuer  under or in connection with the
Sale and Servicing Agreement to  the extent and in the manner directed by the
Indenture Trustee,  including the transmission  of notices of default  on the
part of the Seller or the Servicer thereunder and the institution of legal or
administrative actions or proceedings to  compel or secure performance by the
Seller  or  the Servicer  of each  of  their obligations  under the  Sale and
Servicing Agreement.

     (b)  If  an  Event  of  Default  has occurred  and  is  continuing,  the
Indenture Trustee  may, and  at the  direction (which  direction shall  be in
writing or  by telephone,  confirmed in writing  promptly thereafter)  of the
Majority  Highest  Priority  Class Noteholders  shall,  exercise  all rights,
remedies, powers, privileges  and claims of the Issuer  against the Seller or
the Servicer under or in connection with the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or
against  the Seller  under or  in connection  with the  Loan  Sale Agreement,
including the right or power to take any action to  compel or secure 
performance or observance by the Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be,
of each of their obligations to the Issuer thereunder and to give any 
consent, request, notice, direction, approval, extension, or waiver under 
the  Sale and Servicing Agreement or the Loan Sale  Agreement, as the case 
may be, and any right of the Issuer to take such action shall be suspended.

                                  ARTICLE VI

                            THE INDENTURE TRUSTEE

     Section 6.01.  Duties of Indenture Trustee.  (a)  If an Event of Default
                    ---------------------------
has  occurred and  is continuing,  the Indenture  Trustee shall  exercise the
rights and powers vested  in it by this Indenture and use  the same degree of
care and skill in  their exercise as a  prudent person would exercise or  use
under the circumstances in the conduct of such person's own affairs.

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

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

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

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

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

           (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; 

          (iii)     the Indenture Trustee shall not be liable with respect to
     any action it takes or omits to take in good faith in accordance with  a
     direction received by it pursuant to Section 5.12;

           (iv)     Every provision of this Indenture that in any way relates
     to the Indenture Trustee is subject to this Section;

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

           (vi)     Money held  in trust by  the Indenture Trustee   shall be
     segregated from other funds except to the extent permitted by law or the
     terms of this Indenture or the Sale and Servicing Agreement;

          (vii)     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; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not refuse or
         --------  -------
     fail to perform any of its duties hereunder solely as a result of 
     nonpayment of its normal  fees and expenses and further provided
     that  nothing in  this Section 6.01(c)(vii)  shall be construed  to limit 
     the exercise by the Indenture Trustee of any right or remedy permitted 
     under this Indenture  or  otherwise in  the event  of  the Issuer's  
     failure to  pay the Indenture   Trustee's  fees  and  expenses  pursuant
     to  Section  6.07.  In determining that such repayment or indemnity is 
     not reasonably assured to it, the Indenture Trustee must  consider not 
     only the likelihood  of repayment or indemnity by or on behalf of the  
     Issuer but also the likelihood of repayment or  indemnity from  amounts 
     payable  to it  from the  Collateral pursuant  to Section 6.07; and

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

     Section 6.02.  Rights of Indenture Trustee.  (a)  The Indenture Trustee
                    ---------------------------
may rely on any document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed
or  presented  by  the  proper  person.    The  Indenture  Trustee  need  not
investigate any fact or matter stated in 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 an Officer's Certificate or an 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.

     (d)  The  Indenture Trustee shall  not be liable  for (i)  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 such action or omission
by the Indenture Trustee  does not constitute willful misconduct,  negligence
or bad faith;  or (ii) any willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part
of the Custodian. 

     (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  with respect  to  any  action taken,  omitted  or  suffered by  it
hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the advice or opinion  of such
counsel.

     Section 6.03.  Individual Rights of Indenture Trustee.  The Indenture
                    --------------------------------------
Trustee  in  its individual  or any  other capacity  other than  as Indenture
Trustee or Co-Owner Trustee may, and in  its capacity as Indenture Trustee or
Co-Owner Trustee  may  not, 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  Paying  Agent, Note
Registrar, co-registrar or co-paying agent may  do the same with like rights.
However, the Indenture Trustee must comply with Section 6.11.

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

     Section 6.05.  Notice of Default.  If a Default occurs and is continuing
                    -----------------
and if it is  known to a  Responsible Officer of  the Indenture Trustee,  the
Indenture Trustee shall  mail to each Noteholder notice of the Default within
90 days  after it  occurs.  Except  in the  case of a  Default in  payment of
principal of or  interest on  any Note  (including payments  pursuant to  the
mandatory redemption  provisions of  such Note),  the  Indenture Trustee  may
withhold the notice if and so long as a committee of its Responsible Officers
in good  faith determines that withholding the notice  is in the interests of
Noteholders.

     Section 6.06.  Reports by Indenture Trustee to Holders.  The Indenture
                    ---------------------------------------
Trustee shall deliver to each Noteholder such information as may be  required
to enable such holder to prepare its federal and State income tax returns.

     Section 6.07.  Compensation and Indemnity.  As compensation for its
                    --------------------------
services hereunder,  the Indenture Trustee  shall be entitled to  receive, on
each  Payment Date,  the Indenture  Trustee's  Fee, payable  by the  Servicer
(which compensation  shall not  be limited by  any law  on compensation  of a
trustee of an express trust), and shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Servicer 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  and
expenses,  disbursements and  advances, if  any,  of the  Indenture Trustee's
agents, counsel,  accountants and experts.   The  Issuer agrees to  cause the
Servicer  to  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 and  the Servicer
promptly  of any  claim for  which it  may seek  indemnity.   Failure  by the
Indenture Trustee to so notify the Issuer  and the Servicer shall not relieve
the Issuer of its obligations hereunder.  The Issuer shall or shall cause the
Servicer  to  defend  any such  claim,  and the  Indenture  Trustee  may have
separate counsel and the Issuer shall or shall cause the  Servicer to pay the
fees and  expenses of such counsel.  Neither the Issuer nor the Servicer need
reimburse any  expense or  indemnify against any  loss, liability  or expense
incurred by  the Indenture Trustee  to the extent attributable  the Indenture
Trustee's own willful misconduct, negligence or bad faith.

     The Issuer's payment  obligations to the  Indenture Trustee pursuant  to
this  Section shall  survive  the  discharge of  this  Indenture.   When  the
Indenture Trustee incurs expenses in  connection with occurrence of a Default
specified  in Section  5.01(a)(v)  or (vi)  with respect  to the  Issuer, the
expenses are intended to constitute expenses of administration under Title 11
of  the  United  States  Code  or  any  other  applicable  federal  or  State
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law.

     Section 6.08.  Replacement of Indenture Trustee.  No resignation or
                    --------------------------------
removal  of the Indenture Trustee and no appointment of a successor Indenture
Trustee shall  become effective  until the acceptance  of appointment  by the
successor Indenture Trustee pursuant to  this Section.  The Indenture Trustee
may resign at any time by so notifying the Issuer.  The Holders of a majority
in  Outstanding Amount of  the Notes may  remove the Indenture  Trustee by so
notifying  the  Indenture  Trustee  and  may  appoint  a  successor Indenture
Trustee. The Issuer shall remove the Indenture Trustee if:

     (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 acting.

     If the Indenture Trustee resigns or is removed or if a vacancy exists in
the office of Indenture Trustee for any reason (the Indenture Trustee in such
event  being  referred to  herein  as  the  "resigning or  removed  Indenture
Trustee"), the Issuer  shall promptly appoint  a successor Indenture  Trustee
that satisfies the eligibility requirements of Section 6.11.

     The resigning or removed Indenture  Trustee agrees to cooperate with the
Servicer and any successor Indenture  Trustee in effecting the termination of
the  resigning or  removed Indenture  Trustee's  responsibilities and  rights
hereunder  and shall  promptly provide  such successor Indenture  Trustee all
documents and  records reasonably requested by it to  enable it to assume the
Indenture Trustee's  functions hereunder.   Any  successor Indenture  Trustee
shall have all the rights, powers  and duties of the Indenture Trustee  under
this Indenture.

     The resigning or removed Indenture  Trustee shall grant to the successor
Indenture Trustee the Collateral, including,  without limitation, all of  the
Indenture  Trustee's Home  Loan Files, the  related documents  and statements
held by  it  hereunder, and  the Seller,  the Servicer,  the  Issuer and  the
resigning  or  removed  Indenture  Trustee shall  execute  and  deliver  such
instruments and do such  other things as may reasonably be  required for more
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Indenture Trustee
all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     The successor  Indenture Trustee shall  deliver a written  acceptance of
its appointment to the resigning  or removed Indenture Trustee, the Servicer,
the Seller and  the Issuer.   The  successor Indenture Trustee  shall mail  a
notice of  its succession  to Noteholders.   The resigning  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, the resigning or
removed Indenture  Trustee, the Issuer  or the Holders  of a majority  of the
Outstanding  Amount  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 and the Administrator's obligations under Section
6.07 shall continue for the benefit of the retiring Indenture Trustee.

     Section 6.09.  Successor Indenture Trustee by Merger.  If the Indenture
                    -------------------------------------
Trustee  consolidates with,  merges or  converts  into, or  transfers all  or
substantially  all  its  corporate  trust  business  or  assets  to,  another
corporation  or banking association,  the resulting, surviving  or transferee
corporation without any further act shall be the successor Indenture Trustee;
provided, that  such corporation  or banking  association shall be  otherwise
qualified  and eligible  under Section  6.11.   The  Indenture Trustee  shall
provide the Rating Agencies prior written notice of any such transaction.

     In case at the time  such successor or successors by  merger, conversion
or consolidation to the Indenture Trustee shall succeed to the trusts created
by this Indenture  any of  the Notes  shall have been  authenticated but  not
delivered, any such successor to the Indenture  Trustee  may  adopt  the  
certificate  of  authentication  of  any predecessor trustee, and  deliver 
such Notes so authenticated; and in case at that time  any of the Notes 
shall not  have been authenticated, any successor to the Indenture  Trustee 
may authenticate such  Notes either in the  name of any predecessor hereunder
or in the name  of the successor to  the Indenture Trustee; and in  all such 
cases such  certificates shall have the  full force which it  is 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 Collateral  may at the time be  located, the Indenture
Trustee shall have the  power and may execute and deliver  all instruments to
appoint  one or  more  Persons to  act  as a  co-trustee  or co-trustees,  or
separate  trustee or  separate trustees,  of  all or  any part  of  the Trust
Estate, and to vest in such  Person or Persons, in such capacity and  for the
benefit  of the  Noteholders,  such  title to  the  Collateral,  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

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

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

     (b)  The Issuer and the Indenture  Trustee, when authorized by an Issuer
Order, may, also without the consent of any Noteholder but with prior consent
of the  Rating Agencies, enter  into an indenture or  indentures supplemental
hereto for the purpose of adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner
or eliminating any  of the provisions of,  this Indenture or of  modifying in
any  manner the  rights of  the Noteholders  under this  Indenture; provided,
however, that  such action  shall not,  as evidenced  by (i)   an Opinion  of
Counsel or (ii) satisfaction  of the  Rating Agency Condition,  adversely 
affect  in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder.

     Section 9.02.  Supplemental Indentures with Consent of Noteholders.  The
                    ---------------------------------------------------
Issuer  and the Indenture  Trustee, when authorized by  an Issuer Order, also
may,  with prior consent of the Rating Agencies,  and with the consent of the
Holders of not less than a  majority of the Outstanding Amount of the  Notes,
enter into an  indenture or indentures supplemental hereto for the purpose of
adding any provisions to, or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of, this Indenture or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of  the Notes under  this Indenture; provided, however,  that no such
supplemental  indenture shall,  without the  consent  of the  Holder of  each
Outstanding Note affected thereby: 

     (a)  change the  date of payment of  any installment of principal  of or
interest  on any Note,  or reduce the principal  amount thereof, the interest
rate  thereon or  the  Termination  Price with  respect  thereto, change  the
provisions of this  Indenture relating to the application  of collections on,
or the proceeds of the sale of, the Collateral to  payment of principal of or
interest on the Notes,  or change any place of payment where,  or the coin or
currency in which, any Note or the interest thereon is payable, or impair the
right  to institute  suit  for the  enforcement  of  the provisions  of  this
Indenture  requiring the application of funds available therefor, as provided
in Article V, to the payment of any such amount due on the  Notes on or after
the respective  due dates thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after
the Termination Date); 

     (b)  reduce the percentage  of the Outstanding Amount of  the Notes, the
consent of  the  Holders  of which  is  required for  any  such  supplemental
indenture,  or the consent of the Holders of which is required for any waiver
of compliance with  certain provisions of this Indenture  or certain defaults
hereunder and their consequences provided for in this Indenture;

     (c)  modify or alter the provisions of the proviso to the definition  of
the term "Outstanding"; 

     (d)  reduce  the  percentage  of the  Outstanding  Amount  of  the Notes
required to  direct the  Indenture Trustee to  direct the  Issuer to  sell or
liquidate the Collateral pursuant to Section 5.04; 

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

     (f)  modify any of the provisions of this Indenture in such manner as to
affect the calculation of the amount of any payment of interest  or principal
due on any Note on any Payment Date (including the calculation of any of  the
individual components of such calculation) or to affect the  rights of the 
Holders of Notes to  the benefit of any provisions for the mandatory 
redemption of the Notes contained herein; or 

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

     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 Holders  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.

     In connection with requesting the consent of the Noteholders pursuant to
this Section, the Indenture Trustee shall mail to the Holders of the Notes to
which such amendment or supplemental indenture relates a notice setting forth
in general  terms the substance of such  supplemental indenture. It shall not
be necessary  for any Act  of Noteholders under  this Section to  approve the
particular  form of  any proposed  supplemental  indenture, but  it shall  be
sufficient if such Act shall approve the substance thereof.

     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
Holders of the  Notes shall thereafter be determined,  exercised and enforced
hereunder subject in  all respects to such modifications  and amendments, and
all the terms and conditions of any such supplemental indenture shall  be and
be  deemed to be part of  the terms and conditions  of this Indenture for any
and all purposes. 

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

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

     Section 9.07   Amendments to Trust Agreement.  Subject to Section 11.01
                    -----------------------------
of  the Trust  Agreement, the  Indenture  Trustee shall,  upon Issuer  Order,
consent to  any proposed amendment to the Trust  Agreement or an amendment to
or  waiver  of any  provision of  any  other document  relating to  the Trust
Agreement, such consent  to be given  without the necessity of  obtaining the
consent of  the Holders of  any Notes upon  satisfaction of the  requirements
under Section 11.01 of the Trust Agreement.

     Nothing in this  Section shall be construed  to require that any  Person
obtain the consent of the Indenture Trustee to any amendment or waiver or any
provision of any document where the making of such amendment or the giving of
such  waiver without  obtaining the consent  of the Indenture  Trustee is not
prohibited  by this Indenture  or by  the terms of  the document that  is the
subject of the proposed amendment or waiver.

Trustee in  the  name of  the Issuer  and  at the  expense of  the  Servicer.

payment of the Termination Price) no interest shall accrue on the Termination
Price for  any period after the date to  which accrued interest is calculated
for purposes of calculating the Termination Price.  The Issuer may not redeem
the  Notes unless, (i) all outstanding obligations  under the Notes have been
paid in full  and (ii) the  Indenture Trustee  has been paid  all amounts  to
which it is entitled hereunder.

any application or request by the Issuer to the Indenture Trustee to take any
action under any provision of this Indenture, the Issuer shall furnish to the
Indenture Trustee  (x) an Officer's  Certificate stating that  all conditions
precedent,  if any, provided  for in this Indenture  relating to the proposed
action have been complied with, (y) an Opinion of Counsel stating that in the
opinion  of such  counsel all  such conditions precedent,  if any,  have been
complied with and (z) if required by TIA Section 3.14(c), a certificate of an

this Section, except that, in the case of any such  application or request as
to  which the furnishing  of such documents  is specifically required  by any
provision of  this Indenture,  no additional certificate  or opinion  need be
furnished. Every  certificate or  opinion with respect  to compliance  with a
condition or covenant provided for in this Indenture shall include: 

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

     examination  or  investigation  upon which  the  statements  or opinions
     contained in such certificate or opinion are based; 

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

          (iv) a statement as to whether or not, in the opinion of  each such
     signatory, such condition or covenant has been complied with. 

     (b)  Prior  to  the deposit  of  any  Collateral  or other  property  or
securities  with the Indenture Trustee  that is to be  made the basis for the
release of any  property or securities subject to the lien of this Indenture,
the Issuer shall, in addition  to any obligation imposed in Section  11.01(a)
or elsewhere in this Indenture, furnish to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's
Certificate certifying  or stating  the opinion of  each person  signing such
certificate  as to the  fair value (within  90 days  of such deposit)  to the
Issuer of the Collateral or other property or securities to be so deposited.

          (i)       Whenever  the  Issuer  is  required  to  furnish  to  the
     Indenture Trustee  an Officer's  Certificate certifying  or stating  the
     opinion of any  signer thereof as to the matters described in clause (i)
     above,  the  Issuer shall  also  deliver  to  the Indenture  Trustee  an
     Independent Certificate as to the same matters, if the fair value to the
     Issuer of  the  securities to  be so  deposited and  of  all other  such
     securities made the  basis of any  such withdrawal or release  since the
     commencement  of the  then-current calendar  year, as  set forth  in the
     certificates  delivered pursuant  to clause  (i) above  and this  clause
     (ii), is 10% or more of the  Outstanding Amount 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 then Outstanding Amount of the Notes. 

          (ii) Whenever  any property or  securities are to  be released from
     the lien  of  this Indenture,  the  Issuer  shall also  furnish  to  the
     Indenture Trustee  an Officer's  Certificate certifying  or stating  the
     opinion of  each person signing  such certificate as  to the fair  value
     (within 90 days  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.

     Indenture Trustee  an Officer's  Certificate certifying  or stating  the
     opinion  of any  signer thereof as  to the  matters described  in clause
     (iii) above, the Issuer  shall also furnish to the  Indenture Trustee an
     Independent Certificate as to the same matters if the fair value  of the
     property or securities and of  all other property or securities released
     from  the  lien  of  this   Indenture  since  the  commencement  of  the
     then-current calendar year, as set forth in the certificates required by

     Amount of the Notes.

     Section 11.02.  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  such  officer's
certificate or opinion  is based are erroneous.   Any such certificate  of an
Authorized Officer or Opinion of Counsel may be based, insofar as  it relates
to factual matters, upon  a certificate or opinion of, or representations by,
an  officer or  officers  of the  Servicer,  the Seller,  the  Issuer or  the
Administrator,  stating that  the information  with respect  to such  factual
matters is in the  possession of the Servicer, the Seller,  the Issuer or the
Administrator, 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 11.03.  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. 

     (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 Holder of  any Notes shall bind the  Holder of
every Note issued upon the registration thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, 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 11.04.  Notices, etc. to Indenture Trustee, Issuer 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, or 

     (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: FIRSTPLUS Home Loan  Owner Trust
1998-2, in care of Wilmington Trust Company, Rodney Square  North, 1100 North
Market Street, Wilmington,  Delaware 19890, Attention:  Emmett  R. Harmon, or
at any other address previously furnished in writing to the 
Indenture  Trustee by  the Issuer  or the  Administrator.   The Issuer  shall
promptly transmit  any  notice received  by it  from the  Noteholders to  the
Indenture Trustee.

     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  the
applicable address specified in the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     Section 11.05.  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  his 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.

     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 a Default or Event
of Default.

     Section 11.06.  (Reserved)

     Section 11.07.  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 the
Trust Indenture Act, such required provision shall control.

     The provisions of TIA Sections 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 11.08.  Effect of Headings and Table of Contents.  The Article
                     ----------------------------------------
and Section  headings herein  and the Table  of Contents are  for convenience
only and shall not affect the construction hereof.

     Section 11.09.  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 11.10.  Severability.  In case any provision in this Indenture
                     ------------
or in  the Notes  shall be invalid,  illegal or unenforceable,  the validity,
legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way
be affected or impaired thereby.

     Section 11.11.  Benefits of Indenture and Consent of Noteholders. 
                     ------------------------------------------------
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, and any other party secured hereunder,  and any other Person
with an ownership interest in any part of the Collateral, any benefit or  any

                 ------------------------------
and warrants to the Purchaser and the Issuer with respect to each Subsequent
Home Loan, as of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date; and with respect to
each Initial Home Loan, as of the date hereof (each, a "Closing Date"), and
with respect to itself, as follows:

     (a)  Home Loan Information.  The information with respect to each
          ---------------------
Home Loan set forth in the Home Loan Schedule is true and correct in all
material respects as of the applicable Cut-Off Date.

     (b)  Delivery of Home Loan Documents.  All of the original or
          -------------------------------
certified documentation required to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee or
to the Custodian on or prior to the Closing Date or the Subsequent Transfer

be so delivered.

     (c)  Payments Current.  As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, none of
          ----------------
the Initial Home Loans are more than 29 days contractually delinquent, based
on the terms under which the related Mortgages and Debt Instruments have been
made.  The Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly
received any advance of funds from a party other than the related Obligor,
directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required by any Home
Loan.

     (d)  No Waiver or Modification.  The terms of each Debt Instrument
          -------------------------
and Mortgage, have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any
respect, except by written instruments reflected in the Indenture Trustee's
Home Loan File and no provision of any Mortgage or Debt Instrument has been
"whited out" or erased unless such modification has been initialed by each of
the parties to the related Home Loan.  No instrument of waiver, alteration,
modification or assumption has been executed except for the instruments that
are part of the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File and the terms of which are
reflected in the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File.

     (e)  No Defenses.  No Debt Instrument or Mortgage is subject to any
          -----------
claim, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, nor
will the operation of any of the terms of any Debt Instrument or Mortgage or
the exercise of any right thereunder, render such Debt Instrument or Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any claim, right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such claim, right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has
been asserted in any proceeding or was asserted in any state or federal
bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding at the time the related Home Loan was
originated.

     (f)  Compliance with Laws; Relief Act Matters.  Any and all
          ----------------------------------------
requirements of any federal, state or local law applicable to each Home Loan
have been complied with including, without limitation, all licensing, real
estate settlement procedures act, consumer, usury, truth-in-lending, consumer
credit protection, equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to
each Home Loan.  Each Home Loan was originated in compliance with all
applicable laws and no fraud or misrepresentation was committed by any Person
in connection therewith.  No relief has been requested by or allowed to an
Obligor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940.

     (g)  No Satisfaction or Release of Lien.  No Mortgage has been
          ----------------------------------
satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part.  No
Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in
whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any
such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission, other than the
subordination of the lien of such Mortgage securing a Home Loan with respect
to a Superior Lien on such Mortgaged Property in connection with the
refinancing of the mortgage loan relating to such Superior Lien.

     (h)  Valid Lien.  With respect to each Debt Instrument, the related
          ----------
Mortgage is or creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable lien on the
related Mortgaged Property.

     (i)  Validity of Home Loan Documents; Entire Agreement.  Each Debt
          -------------------------------------------------
Instrument and each Mortgage is genuine and each is the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Obligor thereof, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as the enforceability thereof may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
in general and by general principles of equity.  All parties to each Debt
Instrument and each Mortgage had legal capacity at the time to enter into the
related Home Loan and to execute and deliver such Debt Instrument and
Mortgage, and such Debt Instrument and Mortgage have been duly and properly
executed by such parties.  The Debt Instrument and the Mortgage contain the
entire agreement between the related Obligor and the lender and all
obligations of the lender under the related Home Loan, and no other agreement
defines, modifies, or expands the obligations of the lender under the Home
Loan, except for certain assumptions or modifications included in the
Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File.

     (j) Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  The proceeds of each Home Loan
         -----------------------------
have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances
thereunder.  All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing each
Home Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been disbursed.  The Obligor
is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Debt
Instrument or any related Mortgage and any and all requirements set forth in
the related Home Loan documents have been complied with.

     (k) Ownership.  Immediately prior to the conveyance thereof to the
         ---------
Seller, the Seller had good and marketable title to each Home Loan, Debt
Instrument and Mortgage, the Seller was the sole owner thereof and had full
right to sell each Home Loan, Debt Instrument and Mortgage to the Purchaser;
and upon the conveyance thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, the Purchaser
became the sole owner of each Home Loan, Debt Instrument and Mortgage free
and clear of any encumbrance, equity, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest.

     (l) Ownership of Mortgaged Property.  With respect to each Home
         -------------------------------
Loan, the related Servicer's Home Loan File contains a title document
reflecting that title to the related Mortgaged Property is held at least 50%
by the Obligor under such Home Loan.

     (m) No Defaults.  There is no default, breach, violation or event of
         -----------
acceleration existing under any Mortgage or any Debt Instrument and, to the
best of the Seller's knowledge, there is no event which, with the passage of
time or with notice and/or the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
constitute such a default, breach, violation or event of acceleration and
neither the Seller nor its predecessors have waived any such default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration, except as set forth in an instrument of
waiver, alteration, modification or assumption that is included in the
Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File.

     (n) Consent and Delinquency of Superior Lien.  No obligation secured
         ----------------------------------------
by a Superior Lien was more than 30 days past due at the time of origination
of the related Home Loan.  With respect to each Home Loan that is not a first
mortgage loan, either (i) no consent for the Home Loan is required by the
holder of the related prior lien or (ii) such consent has been obtained and
has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

     (o) No Condemnation or Damage; Good Repair.  To the best of the
         --------------------------------------
Seller's knowledge, the physical condition of each Mortgaged Property has not
deteriorated since the date of origination of the related Home Loan (normal
wear and tear excepted) and there is no proceeding pending for the total or
partial condemnation of any Mortgaged Property.  To the best of the Seller's
knowledge, the related Mortgaged Property described in each Mortgage is free
of damage and in good repair or will be free of damage and in good repair
following the completion of any improvements or repairs to be financed by the
related Home Loan.

     (p) Environmental Compliance.  To the best of the Seller's
         ------------------------
knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous
substances and there exists no violation of any local, state or federal
environmental law, rule or regulation.

     (q) Mortgage Remedies Adequate.  Each Mortgage contains customary
         --------------------------
and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
holder thereof adequate for the realization against the related Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (i) in
the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and
(ii) otherwise, by judicial foreclosure.

     (r) Remedies Against Originators.  In the event that any Home Loan
         ----------------------------
was originated by an entity (such entity, the "Originator") other than the
Seller and to the extent that the Seller has failed to fulfill or is not
capable of fulfilling its obligations to cure, substitute or repurchase such
Home Loan as required hereunder, then the Indenture Trustee on behalf of the
Securityholders may enforce any remedies for breach of representations and
warranties made by the Originator with respect to such Home Loan.

     (s) Security.  No Debt Instrument is, or has been, secured by any
         --------
collateral except the lien of the related Mortgage.

     (t) Deed of Trust.  If a Mortgage for a Home Loan constitutes a deed
         -------------
of trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves as such and is named in
such Mortgage, or a valid substitution of trustee has been recorded or may be
recorded and no extraordinary fees or expenses are, or will become, payable
by the Seller to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with default proceedings and a trustee's sale after default by the related
Obligor.

     (u) Use of Proceeds of Combination Loan.  With respect to each
         -----------------------------------
Combination Loan the related Obligor has represented to Purchaser that a
portion of the proceeds of such Combination Loan will be used to finance
property improvements.

     (v) Inspections of Improvements; and No Encroachment.  To the best
          ------------------------------------------------
of the Seller's knowledge, all inspections, licenses and certificates
required to be made, obtained and issued as of the Closing Date with respect
to the improvements and the use and occupancy of all occupied portions of all
Mortgaged Property have been made, obtained or issued as applicable.  To the
best of the Seller's knowledge, all improvements which were considered in
determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly within
the boundaries and building restrictions lines of the related property and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such property and no
improvement located on or being a part of such property is in violation of
any applicable zoning laws or regulation.

     (w) Flood Insurance.  If required by federal or state law, each
         ---------------
Mortgaged Property is covered by flood insurance with a standard mortgagee
clause and extended coverage in an amount which is not less than the value of
such Mortgaged Property.  All such insurance policies meet the requirements
of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, conform to
the requirements of the FNMA Sellers' Guide and the FNMA Servicers' Guide,
and are of standard type and quality for the locale where the related
Mortgaged  Property is located.  All acts required to be performed to
preserve the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee in any such
insurance policies have been performed including, without limitation, any
necessary notifications of insurers and assignments of policies or interests
therein.

     (x) Underwriting Origination and Servicing Practices.  Each Home
         ------------------------------------------------
Loan, other than the Home Loans identified in Exhibit A hereto, has been
underwritten or re-underwritten in accordance with the Seller's then-current
underwriting guidelines.  The origination practices used by each originator
of the Home Loans and the servicing and collection practices used by the
Seller with respect to each Home Loan have been in all material respects
legal, proper, prudent and customary with respect to the loan origination and
servicing business as applicable to the respective loan type.  To the best of
the Seller's knowledge, no fraud or misrepresentation was committed by any
Person in connection with the origination or servicing of each Home Loan.

     (y) Selection Criteria; No Bulk Transfer.  The Home Loans were not
         ------------------------------------
selected by the Seller for sale to the Purchaser or the Issuer on any basis
intended to adversely affect the Purchaser or the Issuer.  The sale, transfer,
assignment, conveyance and grant of the Debt Instruments and the Mortgages 
to the Purchaser are not subject to the bulk transfer laws or any similar 
statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

     (z) Treasury Regulation Section301.7701.  On the Closing Date, each
         -----------------------------------
Subsequent Transfer Date and each date of substitution of a Qualified Home
Loan, 55% or more (by aggregate principal balance) of the Home Loans do not
constitute "real estate mortgages" for the purpose of Treasury Regulation
Section301.7701 under the Code.  For this purpose a Home Loan does not
constitute a "real estate mortgage" if:

          (i)   The Home Loan is not secured by an interest in real property,
     or

          (ii)  The Home Loan is not an "obligation principally secured by an
     interest  in real property."  For this purpose an obligation is 
     "principally secured by an interest in real property" if it satisfies 
     either the test set out in paragraph (1) or the test set out in 
     paragraph (2) below.

          (1)   The 80-percent test.  An obligation is principally secured by
     an interest in real property if the fair market value of the interest in
     real property securing the obligation

               (A)  was at least equal to 80 percent of the adjusted issue
                    price of the obligation  at the time the obligation was
                    originated (or, if later, the time the obligation was
                    significantly modified); or 

               (B)  is at least equal to 80 percent of the adjusted issue
                    price of the obligation on the Closing Date or Subsequent
                    Transfer Date, as applicable.

               For purposes of  this paragraph (1), the fair market value of
               the real property interest must be first reduced by the amount
               of any lien on the real property interest that is senior to
               the obligation being tested, and must be further reduced by a
               proportionate amount of any lien that is in parity with the
               obligation being tested, in each case before the percentages
               set forth in (1)(A) and (1)(B) are determined.  The adjusted
               issue price of an obligation is its issue price plus the
               amount of accrued original issue discount, if any, as of the
               date of determination.

          (2)   Alternative test.  An obligation is principally secured by an
     interest in real property if substantially all of the proceeds of the
     obligation were used to acquire or to improve or protect an interest in 
     real property that, at the origination date, is the only security for 
     the obligation.  For purposes of this test, loan guarantees made by the 
     United States or any state (or any political subdivision, agency, or 
     instrumentality of the United States or of any state), or other third 
     party credit enhancement are not viewed as additional security for a 
     loan.  An obligation is not considered to be secured by property other 
     than real property solely because the obligor is personally liable on 
     the obligation.  For this purpose only substantially all of the proceeds 
     of the obligation means more than 66-2/3% of the gross proceeds.

     (aa) No Fraudulent Conveyance.  The Home Loans are not being
          ------------------------
transferred with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditors.

     (ab) Value and Marketability.  To the best of the Seller's knowledge,
          -----------------------
there do not exist any circumstances, conditions or information with respect
to the Home Loan, the related Mortgaged Property, the Obligor or the
Obligor's credit standing that reasonably can be expected to cause private
institutional investors investing in same type of home loan to regard such
Home Loan as an unacceptable investment, to increase the likelihood that such
Home Loan will become delinquent, or adversely affect the value or
marketability of such Home Loan.

     (ac) Terms of Home Loans and Interest Method.  Each Home Loan is a
          ---------------------------------------
fixed rate loan.  Each Debt Instrument has an original term to maturity of
not less than 24 months nor more than 25 years and three months from the date
of origination.  Each Debt Instrument is payable in monthly installments of
principal and interest, with interest payable in arrears, and requires a
monthly payment which is sufficient to amortize the original principal
balance over the original term and to pay interest at the related Home Loan
Interest Rate.  No Debt Instrument provides for any extension of the original
term.  Interest for each Home Loan is calculated at a rate of interest
computed by the simple interest method or the actuarial method.  

     (ad) Types of Home Loans; Retail Installment Contracts.  Each Home
          -------------------------------------------------
Loan is either (i) a Home Improvement Loan, (ii) a Debt Consolidation Loan,
or (iii) a Combination Loan.  No Home Loan was originated for the express
purpose of purchasing a manufactured home.  Some of the Home Loans are retail
installment contracts for goods or services, and some of the Home Loans are
home improvement loans for goods or services, which are either "consumer
credit contracts" or "purchase money loans" as such terms are defined in
16 C.F.R. Part 433.1.

     (ae) No Buydown, GPM or Shared Appreciation Loans.  No Home Loan
          --------------------------------------------
contains any provisions pursuant to which principal and interest payments are
paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate account
established by the Seller, the Obligor or anyone else on behalf of the
Obligor, or paid by any source other than the Obligor.  No Home Loan contains
any other similar provision which may constitute a "buydown" provision.  No
Home Loan is a graduated payment mortgage loan.  No Home Loan has a shared
appreciation or other contingent interest feature.

     (af) No Chattel Paper.  Each Debt Instrument is comprised of one
          ----------------
original promissory note and each such promissory note constitutes an
"instrument" for purposes of Section 9-105(1)(i) of the UCC.  No Debt 
Instrument constitutes or is comprised of "chattel paper" as such term is 
defined in Section 9-105(1)(b) of the UCC.  Each Debt Instrument has been 
delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

     (ag) Description Conforms to Prospectus Supplement.  Each Initial
          ---------------------------------------------
Home Loan conforms, and all Initial Home Loans in the aggregate conform, in
all material respects to the description thereof set forth in the Prospectus
Supplement.

     (ah) Review by the Seller.  In light of the Seller's underwriting
          --------------------
guidelines, the Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting each
Servicer's Home Loan File and each Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File and has
made such inquiries as it deems reasonable under the circumstances to make
and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

     Section 2.  Purchase and Delivery.  In consideration for the sale and
                 ---------------------
transfer of the Home Loans to Purchaser by FFI, and upon transfer of such
Home Loans to Purchaser or Purchaser's designee from FFI on the date hereof
with respect to the Initial Home Loans, and on the applicable Subsequent
Transfer Date with respect to the Subsequent Home Loans, the Purchaser shall
pay or cause to be paid to FFI good and valuable consideration (the "Purchase
Price") including (without limitation) the net proceeds of (a) the sale of
the Asset Backed Securities and (b) certain residual classes of securities
subordinate to the Asset Backed Securities.  The transfer of funds from
Purchaser to FFI for the Purchase Price for all Home Loans purchased shall be
made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the bank account
designated by FFI, or by other method as such parties shall agree.

     On the date hereof with respect to the Initial Home Loans, and on the
applicable Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to the Subsequent Home
Loans, FFI shall transfer, assign and convey to Purchaser all of FFI's right,
title and interest in and to each Home Loan and the related Home Loan File,
free and clear of any adverse claims, rights or interests therein.  FFI
shall, or shall cause its agent to, deliver to Purchaser or Purchaser's
designee the related Home Loan File.

     On the date hereof with respect to the Initial Home Loans, and on the
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to the Subsequent Home Loans, FFI shall
promptly transfer to Purchaser or its designee good title to the related
Mortgage, if applicable, pursuant to an Assignment of Mortgage and legal
title to the related Debt Instrument pursuant to the endorsement thereof in
the name of the Purchaser or its designee; provided that such Assignment of
Mortgage, if applicable, and endorsement of such Debt Instrument shall be
prepared and executed in the manner as specified in writing by the Purchaser. 
FFI shall provide to Purchaser, at FFI's cost, a duly executed Assignment of
Mortgage, if applicable, and a blank endorsement of the related Debt
Instrument.  Purchaser shall bear the cost and expense of completing and
recording such Assignment of Mortgage, if applicable, and completing the
endorsement of such Debt Instrument to the Purchaser or its designee.

     Section 3.     Sale Treatment.  It is the express intent of the
                    --------------
parties hereto that the conveyance of the Home Loans by FFI to the Purchaser
as contemplated by this Agreement be, and be treated as, an absolute transfer
and conveyance of all of FFI's right, title, ownership and other interest in
the Home Loans.  In the event that, notwithstanding the intent of the
parties, the Home Loans are held by a court to be the property of FFI, then
(i) this Agreement shall be deemed to be a security agreement within the
meaning of Articles 8 and 9 of the applicable Uniform Commercial Code; (ii)
the transfer of the Home Loans provided for herein shall be deemed to be a
grant by FFI to the Purchaser of a security interest (and/or an assignment of
any security interest that FFI may hold) in all of the FFI's right, title,
ownership and other interest in and to the Home Loans and all amounts payable
to the holders of the Home Loans in accordance with the terms thereof and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments, securities or other property, to the extent the Purchaser
would otherwise be entitled to own such Home Loans and proceeds thereof;
(iii) the possession by the Purchaser or the Indenture Trustee of the Debt
Instruments and such other items of property as constitute instruments,
money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be
"possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the security
interest pursuant to Section 9-305 (or comparable provision) of the
applicable Uniform Commercial Code; and (iv) notifications to persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons
holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents
(as applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security
interest under applicable law.  Any assignment of the interest of the
Purchaser pursuant to any provision hereof or pursuant to the Sale and
Servicing Agreement shall also be deemed to be an assignment of any security
interest created hereby.  FFI and the Purchaser shall, to the extent
consistent with this Agreement, take such actions as may be reasonably
necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to create a security
interest in the Home Loans, such security interest would be deemed to be a
perfected first priority security interest under applicable law and will be
maintained as such throughout the term of the Sale and Servicing Agreement.

     Section 4.     Binding Effect.  This Agreement shall be binding upon
                    --------------
and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the Purchaser and
FFI, respectively.

     Section 5.     Governing Law.  THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY
                    -------------
AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, AND THE OBLIGATIONS,
RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
APPLIED IN SUCH STATE.

     Section 6.     Capitalized Terms.  Capitalized terms used and not
                    -----------------
otherwise defined herein have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Sale
and Servicing Agreement dated as of March 1, 1998, by and among FFI, as

                         CONVEYANCE OF THE HOME LOANS

     Section 2.01.  Conveyance of the Initial Home Loans.  (a)  As of the
                    ------------------------------------
Closing Date, in consideration of the Issuer's  delivery of the Notes and the
Residual  Interest Certificate to the Seller  or its designee, upon the order
of the Seller, the  Seller, as of the Closing Date and  concurrently with the
execution and delivery  hereof, does hereby sell, transfer,  assign, set over
and otherwise  convey to  the Issuer,  without recourse,  but subject to  the
other  terms and provisions  of this Agreement,  all of the  right, title and
interest  of  the Seller  in  and to  the  Trust Estate  and  the Certificate
Distribution Account.  The foregoing sale, transfer, assignment, set over and
conveyance  does  not and  is not  intended  to result  in a  creation  or an
assumption by the Issuer  of any obligation of the Seller,  the Transferor or
any other Person in connection with  the Trust Estate or under any  agreement
or instrument relating thereto except as specifically set forth herein.

     (b)  As of the  Closing Date, the Issuer acknowledges  the conveyance to
it by the Seller  of all of the Seller's right, title and  interest in and to
the Trust Estate,  receipt of which  is hereby acknowledged   by the  Issuer.
Concurrently  with such  delivery, the  Issuer has  pledged to  the Indenture
Trustee the Trust Estate, and in exchange for the conveyance to it 
by the  Seller of all of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the
Trust  Estate (i) the  Owner Trustee  (not  in its  individual capacity,  but
solely as Owner  Trustee on behalf of the Issuer) has  executed the Notes and
(ii) the Issuer has caused the  Indenture Trustee to authenticate and deliver
the Notes to  the Seller or its designee,  upon the order of the  Issuer.  In
addition, concurrently with the delivery to the Issuer of all of the Seller's
right,  title  and  interest in  and  to  the Trust  Estate  and  in exchange
therefor, the Owner Trustee,  pursuant to the instructions of the Seller, has
executed (not  in its  individual capacity,  but solely  as Owner  Trustee on
behalf of  the  Issuer) and  caused  to be  authenticated and  delivered  the
Residual Interest  Certificate to the Seller or  its designee, upon the order

     Section 2.02.  Conveyance of Subsequent Home Loans. (a) On or before the
                    -----------------------------------
last day of the  Funding Period, the Seller shall  convey to the Issuer,  and
the  Issuer  shall  purchase pursuant  to  this Section  2.02  the  lesser of
(calculated by  aggregate principal balance):  (i) the Home Loans then in the
possession  of the Seller that satisfy the  requirements of this Section 2.02
and  (ii) the  maximum  principal  balance of  Home  Loans  that satisfy  the
requirements  of this  Section  2.02,  with respect  to  which the  aggregate
Subsequent Purchase  Price does not  exceed the Pre-Funding  Account Deposit.
Subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.02, in consideration of
the Issuer's delivery  on the related Subsequent Transfer Dates to the Seller
or its designee, or upon the order  of the Seller, of the Subsequent Purchase
Price  of the related  Subsequent Home Loans  from amounts on  deposit in the
Pre-Funding  Account, the Seller shall, from  time to time, on any Subsequent
Transfer Date sell, transfer,  assign, set over  and otherwise convey to  the
Issuer, without  recourse, but subject to  the other terms  and provisions of
this Agreement, all of the right, title and  interest of the Seller in and to
each  Subsequent Home  Loan  (including all  interest  and principal  thereon
received after the related Cut-Off  Date) identified on the schedule attached
to the  related Subsequent Transfer Agreement and  delivered by the Seller on
such  Subsequent  Transfer  Date  and  all items  in  the  related  Indenture
Trustee's  Home Loan  File.   In connection  therewith, the  Transferor shall
amend  the Home  Loan Schedule  to reflect  the inclusion  of the  applicable
Subsequent Home Loans in the Home  Loan Pool.  The Transferor shall  promptly
deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer (if  the Transferor is not then acting as
such), and  the Indenture Trustee   a copy  of the Home  Loan Schedule as  so
amended.   The sale,  transfer, assignment,  set over and  conveyance by  the
Seller of Subsequent Home Loans to the Issuer does not and is not intended to
result in a creation or an assumption by the Issuer of any obligation of  the
Seller, the Transferor or any other Person in connection with such Subsequent
Home Loans or  under any agreement  or instrument relating thereto  except as
specifically set forth herein. 

     (b)  If the Subsequent  Purchase Price for the Subsequent  Home Loans to
be conveyed  to the Trust on  any Subsequent Transfer  Date is less  than the
amount  required to  obtain the release  of the  interest of any  third party
(including any lienholder  therein), then the Transferor or  the Seller shall
cause the delivery of immediately available funds equal to such insufficiency
to the Issuer in escrow (which funds shall not be property of  the Trust) and
the Issuer, in  turn, shall remit such immediately  available funds, together
with  funds from  the Pre-Funding  Account equal  to the  Subsequent Purchase
Price, to the third party designated by the Transferor or the Seller that  is
releasing its interest in such Subsequent Home Loans. 

     On  each Subsequent  Transfer Date,  the  Seller shall  transfer to  the
Issuer the applicable Subsequent Home Loans and the other property and rights
related thereto described in (a) above only  upon the satisfaction of each of
the  following conditions  on or prior  (except in  the case of  clause (iii)
below) to the related Subsequent Transfer Date:

          (i)  (x)   the Subsequent  Home Loans  to  be conveyed  on a  given
     Subsequent Transfer Date must have  an aggregate Principal Balance as of
     the related Cut-Off Date of not less than $5,000,000, except in the case
     of the final Subsequent Transfer  Date when no minimum Principal Balance
     requirement shall be applicable and (y) no Subsequent Home Loan shall be
     more than 31 days delinquent as of the related Cut-Off Date;

          (ii) the Transferor and/or Seller shall have provided the Indenture
     Trustee, the Issuer  and each Rating Agency  with such data as  they may
     reasonably  request regarding all  Subsequent Home Loans  transferred to
     the  Issuer,  delivered  at  least  five Business  Days  prior  to  such
     Subsequent Transfer Date;

          (iii)     the  Servicer shall  deposit  in  the Collection  Account
     within  two  Business Days  following the  Subsequent Transfer  Date all
     collections in respect  of the Subsequent Home Loans  received after the
     related Cut-Off Date;

          (iv) the Transferor and/or  Seller shall have provided  the Issuer,
     the Indenture Trustee and each Rating  Agency with an Addition Notice at
     least  five Business  Days prior  to such  Subsequent Transfer  Date and
     shall have provided any  information reasonably requested by the  Issuer
     or the Indenture Trustee with  respect to the applicable Subsequent Home
     Loans;

          (v)  the Transferor and  the Seller shall certify to  the Indenture
     Trustee and  the Issuer that,  as of the  Subsequent Transfer  Date, the
     Transferor and  the Seller,  respectively, were  not insolvent  nor were
     they  made insolvent by  such transfer nor  were they aware  of any such
     pending insolvency;

          (vi) the Transferor and the Seller shall certify that such addition
     of Subsequent  Home Loans  will  not result  in a  material adverse  tax
     consequence to the Issuer or the Securityholders;

          (vii)     the Seller  and the  Issuer shall  have delivered to  the
     Indenture  Trustee  a  duly  executed   Subsequent  Transfer  Agreement,
     including all exhibits listed therein;

          (viii)    the Funding Period shall not have terminated;

          (ix) as of such  Subsequent Transfer Date, the funds  on deposit in
     the Pre-Funding Account shall equal or exceed the  applicable Subsequent
     Transfer Price;

          (x)  the Transferor and  Seller shall have delivered  to the Issuer
     and  the Indenture  Trustee  an  Officer's  Certificate  confirming  the
     satisfaction of each condition  precedent specified in  this Section 2.02
     and in  the related Subsequent Transfer Agreements; and

          (xi) each   Rating  Agency  shall  have  either  (i)  notified  the
     Transferor and/or the Seller in writing that such transfer of Subsequent
     Home  Loans will  not result in  a reduction  or withdrawal of  the then
     current rating of any  Class of Securities or (ii)  not responded within
     five Business Days after delivery of the applicable Addition Notice.

     Section 2.03.  Ownership and Possession of Home Loan Files.  Upon the
                    -------------------------------------------
issuance of the  Securities, with respect to the Initial Home Loans, and upon
payment  of  the related  Subsequent  Purchase  Price,  with respect  to  the
Subsequent Home  Loans, the  ownership of each  Debt Instrument,  the related
Mortgage and the  contents of the related  Servicer's Home Loan File  and the
Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File shall be vested in the Issuer,  subject to
the  lien created by the Indenture in favor  of the Indenture Trustee for the
benefit of  the Securityholders, although  possession of the  Servicer's Home
Loan Files  (other than  items required  to be  maintained  in the  Indenture
Trustee's Home Loan  Files) on behalf  of the Indenture  Trustee and for  the
benefit  of the  Securityholders  shall  remain with  the  Servicer, and  the
Custodian shall take possession of the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan Files as
contemplated in Section 2.06.

     Section 2.04.  Books and Records.  The sale of each Home Loan shall be
                    -----------------
reflected on the Seller's balance sheets and other  financial statements as a
sale  of  assets  by  the  Seller  to  the  Issuer  under generally  accepted
accounting  principles ("GAAP").    The  Servicer  shall be  responsible  for
maintaining, and shall maintain, a complete set of books and records for each
Home Loan which  shall be clearly marked  to reflect the record  ownership of
each Home Loan by the Issuer, subject to the lien created by the Indenture in
favor of the Indenture Trustee for the benefit of the Securityholders.

     It  is the  intention  of  the parties  hereto  that the  transfers  and
assignments contemplated  by this  Agreement shall constitute  a sale  of the
Trust Estate  from the Seller  to the Issuer and  upon the execution  of this
Agreement by the parties hereto, the Trust Estate shall no longer be owned by
the Seller.  If the assignment,  transfer and conveyance of the Trust  Estate
to the Issuer pursuant  to this Agreement is held or deemed not  to be a sale
or  is held  or deemed to  be a  pledge of  security for  a loan,  the Seller
intends that  the rights  and obligations  of the  parties to  this Agreement
shall be established by the terms of this Agreement and that,  in such event,
(i) the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Issuer a first priority
security interest in  the entire right, title  and interest of the  Seller in
and  to the Trust  Estate and all  proceeds thereof, and  (ii) this Agreement
shall constitute  a security  agreement under  applicable law.   Prior to  or
promptly after the Closing Date, the Seller  shall cause to be filed a  UCC-1
financing statement with the Secretary of State of Delaware naming the Seller
as  "debtor"  and the  Issuer  as "secured  party"  and describing  the Trust
Estate.

     Section 2.05.  Delivery of Home Loan Documents.
                    -------------------------------

     (a)  With  respect to each  Initial Home Loan,  on the Closing  Date the
Transferor and the  Seller have delivered or caused to be delivered, and with
respect  to each  Subsequent Home  Loan, on  the related  Subsequent Transfer
Dates, the Transferor and the Seller will deliver  or will cause  to be 
delivered,  to the Custodian  as the designated agent of the Indenture

     signed, by facsimile or manual signature, in the name of the Seller by a
     Responsible Officer  thereof, together with all intervening endorsements
     that evidence a  complete chain of title from the  originator thereof to
     the Transferor; provided  that any of the foregoing  endorsements may be
     contained on  an allonge  which shall  be  firmly affixed  to such  Debt
     Instrument;

           (ii)     With  respect to each  Debt Instrument, either:   (A) the
     original Mortgage, with evidence of recording thereon, (B) a copy of the
     Mortgage certified  as  a true  copy  by a  Responsible  Officer of  the
     Transferor  or  by  the  closing  attorney, if  the  original  has  been
     transmitted for recording but  has not, at the time of  delivery of this
     Agreement, been returned  or (C) a copy of the Mortgage certified by the
     public recording office  in those instances where the  original recorded
     Mortgage  has been  lost or has  been retained  by the  public recording

     original   Assignment  of  Mortgage  assigned  to  "U.S.  Bank  National
     Association,  as  Indenture  Trustee  for  the  FIRSTPLUS  Asset  Backed
     Securities, Series 1998-2" and signed in the name of the Transferor by a
     Responsible Officer  with evidence of  recording thereon, (B) a  copy of
     the Assignment of Mortgage,  certified as a true  copy by a  Responsible
     Officer of  the Transferor where  the original has been  transmitted for
     recording but has not, at the  time of delivery of this Agreement,  been
     returned or (C)  a copy of the  Assignment of Mortgage certified  by the
     public recording  office in those instances where  the original recorded
     Assignment of Mortgage  has been lost or has been retained by the public
     recording  office (provided, however, that where the original Assignment
     of Mortgage  is not being  delivered to the Custodian,  such Responsible
     Officer  may complete one or more  blanket certificates attaching copies
     of one or more Assignments of Mortgage relating thereto); provided that
                                                               --------
     any such Assignments  of Mortgage may be made by blanket assignments for 
     Home Loans  secured  by  Mortgaged  Properties  located in  the  same  
     county,  if permitted by applicable law; provided, however, that the 
                                              --------  -------
     recordation of such Assignment of Mortgage shall not be required in 
     Non-Recordation States;

           (iv)     With  respect to  each  Debt  Instrument,  either:    (A)
     originals  of all intervening assignments of the Mortgage, with evidence
     of  recording thereon, (B) if  the original intervening assignments have
     not yet been returned from the recording office, a copy of the originals
     of  such  intervening  assignments  together  with  a certificate  of  a
     Responsible Officer of the Transferor or the closing attorney certifying
     that  the copy  is  a true  copy  of the  original  of such  intervening
     assignments or (C) a copy of the intervening assignment certified by the
     public recording office in  those instances where the  original recorded
     intervening  assignment has been lost or has been retained by the public
     recording office; provided that the chain of intervening 
     recorded  assignments  shall not  be  required  to  match the  chain  of
     intervening endorsements of the Debt Instrument, so long as the chain of
     intervening recorded assignments,  if applicable, evidences one  or more
     assignments of  the Mortgage from  the original mortgagee  ultimately to
     the person who has  executed the Assignment of  Mortgage referred to  in
     clause (iii) above; and

            (v)     Originals of all  assumption and modification agreements,
     if any,  or a copy certified as a true  copy by a Responsible Officer of
     the Transferor if the original  has been transmitted for recording until
     such time as the original is returned by the public recording office.

     (b)  The Seller agrees  to deliver or cause to be delivered on or before
the  applicable  Subsequent  Transfer  Date  to the  Custodian  each  of  the
documents identified  in paragraphs (i)  through (v) of subsection  (a) above
with respect to any Subsequent Home Loans.

     (c)  With respect to  each Home Loan, the Transferor  shall, within five
Business Days after  the receipt thereof, and  in any event, within  nine (9)
months  of the Closing  Date (in the case  of the Initial  Home Loans) or the
related Subsequent Transfer  Date (in the case of the Subsequent Home Loans),
deliver or cause to be delivered to the Custodian:  (i) the original recorded
Mortgage in those instances where a copy  thereof certified by the Transferor
was  delivered to  the Custodian;  (ii) the  original recorded  Assignment of
Mortgage, except with respect  to Non-Recordation States; (iii) any  original
recorded intervening assignments of Mortgage  in those instances where copies
thereof certified by the Transferor were delivered to the Custodian; and (iv)
the   original  recorded  assumption  and  modification  agreement  in  those
instances  in which a  copy was delivered.   Notwithstanding  anything to the
contrary contained in this Section 2.05, in those instances where  the public
recording  office  retains  the  original Mortgage  or,  if  applicable,  the
Assignment of  Mortgage, the intervening  assignments of the Mortgage  or the
original  recorded assumption  and modification agreement  after it  has been
recorded, or where any such original  has been lost or destroyed, the  Seller
and Transferor shall be deemed to have satisfied their respective obligations
hereunder with respect to the delivery of  any such document upon delivery to
the Custodian of a copy, as certified by the public recording office to be  a
true copy of  the recorded original of  such Mortgage or, if  applicable, the
Assignment of Mortgage, intervening assignments of Mortgage or assumption and
modification agreement, respectively.

     The  Transferor  and  the  Seller   shall  not  be  required  to  record
Assignments of Mortgages  for any Home Loan with respect to which the related
Mortgaged Property is located in a Non-Recordation State, and the delivery of
the  Assignments  of  Mortgages for  such  Home  Loans  to  the Custodian  in
recordable  form  on  the  Closing  Date  or  Subsequent  Transfer  Date,  as
applicable, shall constitute  full compliance with subsection  (a)(iii) above
and the Transferor, in its capacity as Servicer, shall retain record title to
such  Mortgages on  behalf of the  Indenture Trustee  and the holders  of the
Securities.  Notwithstanding the preceding  provisions allowing for the  non-
recordation of Assignments  of Mortgage in the Non-Recordation  States, if an
Event of Default  occurs pursuant to clause (a)(vii) of  Section 10.01 or the
Transferor, as the Servicer, is terminated hereunder, then the 
Transferor, in its capacity as the Servicer or predecessor Servicer, shall be
required to record all Assignments of Mortgage in Non-Recordation States.

     (d)  All Home  Loan documents  held by the  Custodian on  behalf of  the
Indenture Trustee  are referred  to herein as  the "Indenture  Trustee's Home
Loan File."  All  recordings required pursuant to this Section  2.05 shall be
accomplished by and at the expense of the Transferor.

     Section 2.06.  Acceptance by Indenture Trustee of the Home Loans;
                    --------------------------------------------------
Initial Certification by Custodian.  (a)  The Indenture Trustee agrees to
- ----------------------------------
cause  the  Custodian  to  execute  and  deliver   on  the  Closing  Date  an
acknowledgment of receipt of the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan  File for each
Initial Home Loan, and the Indenture Trustee agrees to cause the Custodian to
execute  and deliver  on any  Subsequent Transfer  Date an  acknowledgment of
receipt of the Indenture  Trustee's Home Loan File  for each Subsequent  Home
Loan.  The  Indenture Trustee declares  that it will  cause the Custodian  to
hold such documents and any amendments, replacements or  supplements thereto,
as well as any other assets included in the Trust Estate and delivered to the
Custodian in trust, upon  and subject to the conditions set  forth herein for
the benefit of  the Securityholders.  The  Indenture Trustee agrees,  for the
benefit  of  the Securityholders,  to  cause  the  Custodian to  review  each
Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File within 45 days after the Closing Date (or,
with  respect to any Qualified Substitute  Home Loan or Subsequent Home Loan,
within 45 days after  the conveyance of the related Home Loan  to the Issuer)
and to cause  the Custodian  to deliver  to the Transferor,  the Seller,  the
Indenture Trustee,  the Issuer and  the Servicer an interim  certification to
the effect that, as to each Home Loan listed in the Home Loan Schedule and as
to each Subsequent Home Loan Listed in a Subsequent Home Loan Schedule (other
than any Home  Loan paid in full or any Home  Loan specifically identified in
such certification as  not covered by such certification),  (i) all documents
required to be  delivered to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to this Agreement
are in  its possession or  in the possession  of the Custodian on  its behalf
(other  than as expressly  permitted by  Section 2.05(c)) (ii)  all documents
delivered  by the  Seller  and the  Transferor to  the Custodian  pursuant to
Section 2.05 have  been reviewed by the Custodian and have not been mutilated
or damaged and  appear regular on their face  (handwritten additions, changes
or  corrections  shall  not constitute  irregularities  if  initialed by  the
Obligor)  and relate to such Home Loan, (iii) based on the examination of the
Custodian on behalf  of the Indenture Trustee,  and only as to  the foregoing
documents, the  information set  forth on the  Home Loan  Schedule accurately
reflects  the information set forth in the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File
and (iv) each Debt Instrument has been endorsed as provided in  Section 2.05.
Neither the Issuer  nor the Custodian shall  be under any duty  or obligation
(i)  to  inspect,  review   or  examine  any  such  documents,   instruments,
certificates or other papers to determine that they are genuine, enforceable,
or appropriate for the  represented purpose or that they are  other than what
they purport to be  on their face or (ii) to  determine whether any Indenture
Trustee's Home Loan  File should  include any of  the documents specified  in
Section 2.05(a)(v).  Prior to the first  anniversary of the Closing Date, the
Indenture Trustee shall cause the Custodian to deliver to the Transferor, the
Seller,  the  Indenture  Trustee,  the   Issuer  and  the  Servicer  a  final
certification evidencing the completeness of the Home Loans in its possession
or control.

     (b)  If the  Custodian, during  the process of  reviewing the  Indenture
Trustee's Home  Loan Files,  finds  any document  constituting  a part  of  a
Indenture  Trustee's  Home Loan  File which  is  not executed,  has  not been
received, is unrelated to any Home Loan identified in the Home Loan Schedule,
does not conform to the requirements of Section 2.05 or does not  conform, in
all material respects,  to the description thereof  as set forth in  the Home
Loan Schedule,  then the Custodian  shall promptly so notify  the Transferor,
the  Servicer,  the Indenture  Trustee,  the  Issuer  and  the  Seller.    In
performing any such review, the Custodian may conclusively rely on the Seller
and the  Transferor as to the purported genuineness  of any such document and
any signature thereon.   It is understood  that the scope of  the Custodian's
review of  the  Indenture Trustee's  Home  Loan Files  is  limited solely  to
confirming that the documents listed  in Section 2.05 have been  received and
further confirming that  any and all documents delivered  pursuant to Section
2.05 have been executed and relate to  the Home Loans identified in the  Home
Loan Schedule and to the Subsequent Home Loans listed in the  Subsequent Home
Loan  Schedule.    Neither  the  Issuer  nor  the  Custodian  shall have  any
responsibility for  determining whether any  document is  valid and  binding,
whether the text of any assignment or endorsement is in proper  or recordable
form,  whether  any  document  has  been  recorded  in  accordance  with  the
requirements of any applicable jurisdiction,  or whether a blanket assignment
is permitted  in any  applicable jurisdiction.   If  a material  defect in  a

                    ---------------------
and warrants  to  the  Seller, the  Issuer,  the Indenture  Trustee  and  the
Securityholders, with respect  to the Initial Home  Loans, as of  the Closing
Date:

     (a)  Home Loan Information.  The information with respect to each Home
          ---------------------
Loan set  forth in the Home Loan Schedule is true and correct in all material
respects as of the applicable Cut-Off Date.

     (b)  Delivery of Home Loan Documents.  All of the original or certified
          -------------------------------
documentation required  to be delivered  to the Indenture  Trustee or to  the
Custodian on or prior to the Closing Date or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as
applicable,  or as  otherwise provided in  this Agreement  has or will  be so
delivered. 

     (c)  Payments Current.  As of the applicable Cut-Off Date, none of the
          ----------------
Initial  Home Loans are more than 30  days contractually delinquent, based on
the terms  under which the related  Mortgages and Debt Instruments  have been
made.   The  Transferor has  not  advanced funds,  or induced,  solicited  or
knowingly received any advance  of funds from a party other  than the related
Obligor,  directly or indirectly, for  the payment of  any amount required by
any Home Loan.

     (d)  No Waiver or Modification.  The terms of each Debt Instrument and
          -------------------------
Mortgage, have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect,
except by written instruments reflected  in the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan
File  and no provision  of any Mortgage  or Debt Instrument  has been "whited
out" or erased  unless such modification  has been initialed  by each of  the
parties to  the  related Home  Loan.   No instrument  of waiver,  alteration,
modification or assumption has been  executed except for the instruments that
are part of the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File and the terms of which are
reflected in the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File.

     (e)  No Defenses.  No Debt Instrument or Mortgage is subject to any
          -----------
claim, set-off, counterclaim or defense,  including the defense of usury, nor
will the  operation of any of the terms of any Debt Instrument or Mortgage or
the exercise of any right thereunder, render such Debt Instrument or Mortgage
unenforceable,  in whole  or  in part,  or  subject to  any  claim, right  of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury,
and no such  claim, right of rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense has
been asserted  in any  proceeding or  was asserted  in any  state or  federal
bankruptcy or insolvency  proceeding at the  time the  related Home Loan  was
originated.

     (f)  Compliance with Laws; Relief Act Matters.  Any and all requirements
          ----------------------------------------

complied  with  including,  without limitation,  all  licensing,  real estate
settlement procedures act, consumer, usury, truth-in-lending, consumer credit
protection, equal  credit opportunity or  disclosure laws applicable  to each
Home Loan.   Each Home Loan was originated  in compliance with all applicable
laws  and no  fraud  or  misrepresentation was  committed  by  any Person  in
connection therewith.   No  relief has  been requested  by or  allowed to  an
Obligor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940.

     (g)  No Satisfaction or Release of Lien.  No Mortgage has been
          ----------------------------------
satisfied, canceled,  subordinated or  rescinded, in  whole or  in part.   No
Mortgaged Property has been released from the lien of the related Mortgage in
whole  or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any
such  release,  cancellation,  subordination or  rescission,  other  than the
subordination of the  lien of such Mortgage securing a Home Loan with respect
to  a  Superior Lien  on  such  Mortgaged  Property  in connection  with  the
refinancing of the mortgage loan relating to such Superior Lien.

     (h)  Valid Lien.  With respect to each Debt Instrument, the related
          ----------
Mortgage  is  or creates  a valid,  subsisting  and enforceable  lien  on the
related Mortgaged Property.

     (i)  Validity of Home Loan Documents; Entire Agreement.  Each Debt
          -------------------------------------------------
Instrument and each  Mortgage is  genuine and  each is the  legal, valid  and
binding obligation of the Obligor thereof, enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except  as the  enforceability thereof may  be limited  by bankruptcy,
insolvency,  reorganization or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
in general and  by general principles  of equity.  All  parties to each  Debt
Instrument and each Mortgage had legal capacity at the time to enter into the
related  Home  Loan  and to  execute  and  deliver such  Debt  Instrument and
Mortgage, and such  Debt Instrument and Mortgage have been  duly and properly
executed by  such parties.  The Debt Instrument  and the Mortgage contain the
entire  agreement  between  the  related  Obligor  and  the  lender  and  all
obligations of the lender under the related Home Loan, and no other agreement
defines, modifies, or  expands the obligations of  the lender under  the Home
Loan, except for  any assumptions or modifications included  in the Indenture
Trustee's Home  Loan File  pursuant to Section 2.05(a)(v)  or referred  to in
Section 3.03(m).

     (j)  Full Disbursement of Proceeds.  The proceeds of each Home Loan have
          -----------------------------
been  fully  disbursed  and  there  is no  requirement  for  future  advances
thereunder.  All  costs, fees and expenses incurred in making or closing each
Home Loan and the recording of the Mortgage have been disbursed.  The Obligor
is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the Debt 
Instrument or any related Mortgage and any and all requirements set forth 
in the related Home  Loan documents have been complied with.

     (k)  Ownership.  Immediately prior to the conveyance thereof to the
          ---------
Seller, the Transferor had good and marketable title to each Home  Loan, Debt
Instrument and Mortgage, the  Transferor  was the sole owner  thereof and had
full right  to  sell each  Home Loan,  Debt Instrument  and  Mortgage to  the
Seller; and upon the conveyance thereof by the Transferor to the  Seller, the
Seller became the sole owner of each  Home Loan, Debt Instrument and Mortgage
free and  clear of any  encumbrance, equity,  lien, pledge, charge,  claim or
security interest.

     (l)  Ownership of Mortgaged Property.  With respect to each Home Loan,
          -------------------------------
the related  Servicer's Home Loan  File contains a title  document reflecting
that  title to the  related Mortgaged  Property is held  at least  50% by the
Obligor under such Home Loan.

     (m)  No Defaults.  There is no default, breach, violation or event of
          -----------
acceleration existing under  any Mortgage or any Debt Instrument  and, to the
best of the Transferor's knowledge, there is no event which, with the passage
of time  or with notice  and/or the expiration  of any grace or  cure period,
would constitute such  a default, breach, violation or  event of acceleration
and neither the Transferor nor its predecessors have waived any such default,
breach,  violation  or  event of  acceleration,  except  as set  forth  in an
instrument of waiver, alteration, modification or assumption that is included
in the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File.

     (n)  Consent and Delinquency of Superior Lien.  No obligation secured
          ----------------------------------------
by a Superior Lien was more than 30 days past due at  the time of origination
of the related Home Loan.  With respect to each Home Loan that is not a first
mortgage loan,  either (i) no  consent for the  Home Loan is  required by the
holder of  the related prior lien or (ii)  such consent has been obtained and
has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

     (o)  No Condemnation or Damage; Good Repair.  To the best of the
          --------------------------------------
Transferor's knowledge, the physical condition of each Mortgaged Property has
not deteriorated  since the  date of  origination  of the  related Home  Loan
(normal wear and  tear excepted) and there  is no proceeding pending  for the
total or partial condemnation of any Mortgaged  Property.  To the best of the
Transferor's  knowledge, the  related Mortgaged  Property  described in  each
Mortgage  is free of damage and in good  repair or will be free of damage and
in good repair  following the completion of any improvements or repairs to be
financed by the related Home Loan.

     (p)  Environmental Compliance.  To the best of the Transferor's
          ------------------------
knowledge, the Mortgaged Property is free from any and all toxic or hazardous
substances and  there exists  no violation  of  any local,  state or  federal
environmental law, rule or regulation.

     (q)  Mortgage Remedies Adequate.  Each Mortgage contains customary and
          --------------------------
enforceable  provisions such  as to  render  the rights  and remedies  of the
holder  thereof adequate  for the  realization against the  related Mortgaged
Property of the benefits of the security  provided  thereby,  including,  
(i)  in  the  case  of  a  Mortgage designated as  a deed  of trust, by  
trustee's sale,  and (ii)  otherwise, by judicial foreclosure.

     (r)  Remedies Against Originators.  In the event that any Home Loan was
          ----------------------------
originated  by an  entity  (such  entity, the  "Originator")  other than  the
Transferor  and to the extent that the Transferor has failed to fulfill or is
not capable of  fulfilling its obligations to cure,  substitute or repurchase
such Home Loan as required hereunder, then the Indenture Trustee on behalf of
the  Securityholders may enforce  any remedies for  breach of representations
and warranties made by the Originator with respect to such Home Loan.

     (s)  Security.  No Debt Instrument is, or has been, secured by any
          --------
collateral except the lien of the related Mortgage.

     (t)  Deed of Trust.  If a Mortgage for a Home Loan constitutes a deed
          -------------
of trust, a  trustee, duly qualified under  applicable law to serve  as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves as  such and is named in
such Mortgage, or a valid substitution of trustee has been recorded or may be
recorded and no extraordinary fees  or expenses are, or will become,  payable
by  the  Transferor  to  the trustee  under  the  deed  of  trust, except  in
connection with default proceedings and a trustee's sale after default by the
related Obligor.

     (u)  Use of Proceeds of Combination Loan.  With respect to each
          -----------------------------------
Combination Loan the related Obligor has represented to Seller that a portion
of the  proceeds of such  Combination Loan will  be used to  finance property
improvements.

     (v)  Inspections of Improvements; and No Encroachment.  To the best of
          ------------------------------------------------
the  Transferor's  knowledge,  all  inspections,  licenses  and  certificates
required to be made, obtained and issued as of the Closing  Date with respect
to the improvements and the use and occupancy of all occupied portions of all
Mortgaged Property have been made, obtained or  issued as applicable.  To the
best of the Transferor's knowledge, all improvements which were considered in
determining the appraised  value of the Mortgaged Property  lay wholly within
the boundaries and building restrictions lines of the related property and no
improvements  on adjoining  properties  encroach upon  such  property and  no
improvement located on  or being a part  of such property is  in violation of
any applicable zoning laws or regulation.

     (w)  Flood Insurance.  If required by federal or state law, each
          ---------------
Mortgaged Property  is covered by  flood insurance with a  standard mortgagee
clause and extended coverage in an amount which is not less than the value of
such Mortgaged Property.   All such insurance policies  meet the requirements
of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration, conform to
the requirements  of the FNMA Sellers'  Guide and the  FNMA Servicers' Guide,
and  are  of standard  type  and quality  for  the locale  where  the related
Mortgaged   Property  is  located.   All  acts required  to  be performed  to
preserve the  rights  and remedies  of  the  Indenture Trustee  in  any  such
insurance policies  have been  performed including,  without limitation,  any
necessary notifications of insurers and assignments of policies  or interests
therein.

     (x)  Underwriting Origination and Servicing Practices.  Each Home Loan,
          ------------------------------------------------
other  than  the  Home  Loans   identified  on  Exhibit D  hereto,  has  been
underwritten or  re-underwritten in  accordance with  the Transferor's  then-
current  underwriting guidelines.    The origination  practices used  by each
originator of the Home Loans and the servicing and collection  practices used
by the  Transferor with respect to  each Home Loan have been  in all material
respects  legal, proper,  prudent  and  customary with  respect  to the  loan
origination and servicing business as applicable to the respective loan type.
To the best of the Transferor's knowledge,  no fraud or misrepresentation was
committed by  any Person in  connection with the origination  or servicing of
each Home Loan.

     (y)  Selection Criteria; No Bulk Transfer.  The Home Loans were not
          ------------------------------------
selected by the Transferor for sale to  the Seller or the Issuer on any basis
intended to adversely affect the Seller  or the Issuer.  The sale,  transfer,
assignment, conveyance and grant of the Debt Instruments and the Mortgages by
the  Transferor to the Seller  were not subject to  the bulk transfer laws or
any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable jurisdiction.

     (z)  Treasury Regulation Section301.7701.  On the Closing Date, each
          -----------------------------------
Subsequent  Transfer  Date and  each  date  of  substitution of  a  Qualified
Substitute Home Loan,  55% or  more (by aggregate  principal balance) of  the
Home Loans do not constitute "real estate mortgages" for the purpose of
              ---
Treasury Regulation Section301.7701 under the Code.  For this purpose  a Home
Loan does not constitute a "real estate mortgage" if:
          ---

          (i)  The Home Loan is not secured by an interest in real property,
                                ---
or

          (ii) The Home Loan is not an "obligation principally secured by an
                                ---
interest in real property."   For this purpose an obligation is  "principally
secured by an interest in real property" if it satisfies either the test set
                                                         ------
out in paragraph (1) or the test set out in paragraph (2) below.

          (1)  The 80-percent test.  An obligation  is principally secured by
               an  interest in real property if  the fair market value of the
               interest in real property securing the obligation

               (A)  was at  least equal to  80 percent of the  adjusted issue
                    price of the  obligation  at the time  the obligation was
                    originated (or,  if later,  the time  the obligation  was
                    significantly modified); or 

               (B)  is at  least equal  to 80 percent  of the  adjusted issue
                    price of the obligation on the Closing Date or Subsequent
                    Transfer Date, as applicable.  

               For purposes of  this paragraph (1), the fair market value  of
               the real property interest must be first reduced by the amount
               of any lien on  the real property interest  that is senior  to
               the obligation being tested, and  must be further reduced by a
               proportionate amount  of any lien  that is in parity  with the
               obligation being tested,  in each case before  the percentages
               set forth in (1)(A) and (1)(B) are determined.  The adjusted 
               issue  price of  an obligation  is  its issue  price plus  the
               amount of accrued  original issue discount, if any,  as of the
               date of determination.

          (2)  Alternative test.   An obligation is principally secured by an
               interest in real property if substantially all of the proceeds
               of  the obligation  were  used  to acquire  or  to improve  or
               protect an interest in real property that, at  the origination
               date, is the  only security for the obligation.   For purposes
               of this test, loan guarantees made by the United States or any
               state   (or    any   political    subdivision,   agency,    or
               instrumentality of  the  United States  or of  any state),  or
               other  third  party  credit  enhancement  are  not  viewed  as
               additional  security  for  a  loan.    An  obligation  is  not
               considered to be secured by  property other than real property
               solely  because  the  obligor  is  personally  liable  on  the
               obligation.   For this purpose  only substantially all  of the
               proceeds  of the  obligation means  more  than 66-2/3%  of the
               gross proceeds.


     (aa) No Fraudulent Conveyance.  The Home Loans are not being transferred
          ------------------------
with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any creditors.

     (ab) Value and Marketability.  To the best of the Transferor's
          -----------------------
knowledge, there  do not exist  any circumstances, conditions  or information
with respect to the Home Loan, the related Mortgaged Property, the Obligor or
the  Obligor's credit  standing  that  reasonably can  be  expected to  cause
private institutional investors investing in same type of home loan to regard
such Home Loan as an unacceptable investment, to increase the likelihood that
such Home  Loan will  become delinquent,  or  adversely affect  the value  or
marketability of such Home Loan.

     (ac) Terms of Home Loans and Interest Method.  Each Home Loan is a fixed
          ---------------------------------------
rate loan.  Each Debt Instrument has an original term to maturity of not less
than 24  months nor  more than  25 years and  three months  from the  date of
origination.   Each  Debt Instrument  is payable  in monthly  installments of
principal  and interest,  with interest  payable in  arrears, and  requires a
monthly  payment  which is  sufficient  to  amortize the  original  principal
balance over the original  term and to pay interest at the  related Home Loan
Interest Rate.  No Debt Instrument provides for any extension of the original
term.   Interest for  each  Home Loan  is calculated  at a  rate of  interest
computed by the simple interest method or the actuarial method.  

     (ad) Types of Home Loans; Retail Installment Contracts.  Each Home Loan
          -------------------------------------------------
is  either (i) a  Home Improvement Loan,  (ii) a Debt  Consolidation Loan, or
(iii) a  Combination  Loan.   No Home  Loan  was originated  for  the express
purpose of purchasing a manufactured home.  Some of the Home Loans are retail
installment contracts for goods  or services, and some of the  Home Loans are
home  improvement loans  for goods  or services,  which are  either "consumer
credit  contracts" or  "purchase money  loans" as such  terms are  defined in
16 C.F.R. Part 433.1.

     (ae) No Buydown, GPM or Shared Appreciation Loans.  No Home Loan
          --------------------------------------------
contains any provisions pursuant to which principal and interest payments are
paid or partially paid with funds deposited  in any separate account 
established  by the Transferor, the Obligor  or anyone else on behalf  of the
Obligor, or paid  by any source other than the  Obligor.  No Home  Loan 
contains any other  similar provision which  may constitute  a "buydown" 
provision.   No  Home Loan is  a graduated payment mortgage  loan.   No Home  
Loan has  a shared  appreciation or  other contingent interest feature.

     (af) No Chattel Paper.  Each Debt Instrument is comprised of one
          ----------------
original  promissory note  and  each  such  promissory  note  constitutes  an
"instrument" for purposes  of Section  9-105(1)(i) of the  Relevant UCC.   No
Debt Instrument constitutes  or is comprised of "chattel paper"  as such term
is defined in  Section 9-105(1)(b) of the Relevant UCC.  Each Debt Instrument
has been delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

     (ag) Description Conforms to Prospectus Supplement.  Each Initial Home
          ---------------------------------------------
Loan conforms, and  all Initial Home Loans  in the aggregate conform,  in all
material  respects to  the description  thereof set  forth in  the Prospectus
Supplement.

     (ah) Review by Transferor.  In light of the Transferor's underwriting
          --------------------
guidelines, the  Transferor has  reviewed all  of the documents  constituting
each Servicer's Home  Loan File and  each Indenture Trustee's Home  Loan File
and has made such inquiries as it deems reasonable under the circumstances to
make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein.

     (ai) Fraud in Origination.  Each Obligor has not commenced, and will not
          --------------------
commence within  six months following  origination of the related  Home Loan,
any bankruptcy or similar insolvency proceeding.

     Section 3.04.  Subsequent Home Loans.  With respect to the Subsequent
                    ---------------------
Home Loans conveyed  by the Transferor  to the Seller  on a given  Subsequent
Transfer  Date,  the  Transferor,  as   of  such  Subsequent  Transfer  Date,
represents and warrants  to the Seller, the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and
the Securityholders that:

          (i)  No  such   Subsequent  Home  Loans   is  more  than   30  days
     contractually delinquent as of the related Cut-Off Date;

          (ii) The original term  to stated maturity of each  such Subsequent
     Home Loan does not  exceed 25 years, and the scheduled  maturity of each
     such Subsequent Home Loan is not later than May 11, 2023;

          (iii)     Each such  Subsequent Home Loan has a  Home Loan Interest
     Rate of not less than 9.99%;

          (iv) Following the purchase  of such Subsequent  Home Loans by  the
     Trust, the  Home Loans included  in the  Home Loan  Pool (including  the
     Subsequent Home Loans) will have a weighted average interest rate as  of
     each respective Cut-Off Date not more than 0.15% lower than the weighted
     average interest rate of  the Initial Home Loans included in the initial
     Home Loan  Pool and a weighted average remaining  term to maturity as of
     each respective Cut-Off Date comparable to the weighted average 
     remaining  maturity of the Initial  Home Loans included in the initial 
     Home Loan Pool;

          (v)  To  the best of the Transferor's knowledge, the acquisition of
     the  Subsequent Home Loans as of  such Subsequent Transfer Date will not
     result in a downgrading in any rating of the Securities;

          (vi) The Subsequent Home Loans have not been acquired by the Issuer
     for  the  primary  purpose of  recognizing  gains  or  decreasing losses
     resulting from market value changes in such Subsequent Home Loans; 

          (vii)     Each of the  representations and warranties set  forth in
     Section 3.03 is true  and correct with respect to each of the Subsequent
     Home Loans being transferred to the Issuer; 

          (viii)    The weighted average of the Credit Scores of the Obligors
     with respect to such Subsequent Home Loans is not less than 684.

     Section 3.05.  Purchase and Substitution.  (a)  It is understood and
                    -------------------------
agreed that the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.03 and
3.04 shall survive the conveyance of the Home Loans to  the Issuer, the Grant
of the Home Loans to the Indenture Trustee and the delivery of the Securities
to  the Securityholders.   Upon  discovery by  the Seller, the  Servicer, the
Transferor,  the  Custodian,  the  Issuer,  the  Indenture   Trustee  or  any
Securityholder  of a  breach of  any of  such representations  and warranties
which materially  and adversely affects  the value of  the Home Loans  or the
interest of  the Securityholders, or  which materially and  adversely affects
the interests of the Securityholders in the  related Home Loan in the case of
a  representation   and  warranty  relating   to  a   particular  Home   Loan
(notwithstanding that such representation and  warranty may have been made to
the Transferor's  best knowledge),  the party  discovering such breach  shall
give prompt  written notice to  the others.   The Transferor shall  within 60
days of the earlier of its  discovery or its receipt of notice of  any breach
of a representation or warranty, or of its discovery or its receipt of notice
of a material defect in a  document contained in an Indenture Trustee's  Home
Loan File as  referred to in the  last sentence of Section  2.06(b), promptly
cure such breach in all material respects.  If, however, within 60 days after
the Seller's discovery of or receipt of notice of such a breach  or defective
document, as  applicable, such breach  or defective document,  as applicable,
has not  been  remedied  by  the  Transferor and  such  breach  or  defective
document, as  applicable, materially and  adversely affects the  interests of
the Securityholders  generally or  in the related  Home Loan  (the "Defective
Home  Loan"),  the  Seller  shall  cause  the  Transferor  on  or before  the
Determination Date  next succeeding  the end  of  such 60  day period  either
(i) to remove  such Defective Home Loan from the  Trust Estate (in which case
it shall become  a Deleted Home  Loan) and substitute  one or more  Qualified
Substitute Home Loans in the manner  and subject to the conditions set  forth
in  this Section  3.05 or  (ii) to  purchase such  Defective Home  Loan  at a
purchase price equal  to the Purchase Price (as  defined below) by depositing
such Purchase Price  in the Collection Account.   In the event  the Seller or
the Transferor is notified that any Mortgaged Property was, as of the Closing
Date,  not  free  of  damage  or  not  in  good  repair,  regardless  of  the
Transferor's  knowledge,  the  Seller  shall  cause  the  Transferor  to  (x)
substitute or purchase the related  Home Loan  in accordance  with clauses  
(i) and  (ii), respectively, above or  (y) repair  any such  Mortgaged 
Property  such that  such Mortgaged Property is free of  damage and in good 
repair. The  Transferor shall provide the Servicer, the  Indenture Trustee 
and the Issuer with a certification of a Responsible Officer on the 
Determination Date next succeeding the end of such 60 day period  indicating 
whether the Transferor is  purchasing the Defective Home Loan  or 
substituting in  lieu of such  Defective Home Loan  a Qualified Substitute 
Home Loan.  With respect to  the purchase of a Defective Home Loan pursuant  
to  this  Section,  the "Purchase  Price"  shall  be  equal  to the
Principal Balance  of such Defective  Home Loan as  of the date  of purchase,
plus all accrued and unpaid interest  on such Defective Home Loan to  but not
including the Due  Date in  the Due  Period in which  such repurchase  occurs
computed at the  applicable Home Loan Interest  Rate, plus the amount  of any
unreimbursed Servicing  Advances made  by the Servicer  with respect  to such
Defective  Home  Loan,  which  Purchase  Price  shall  be  deposited  in  the
Collection Account (after deducting therefrom any amounts received in respect
of such  repurchased Defective  Home Loan  and being held  in the  Collection
Account for future payment to the extent such amounts represent recoveries of
principal not yet applied to reduce the related Principal Balance or interest
(net of the Servicing Fee) for the period  from and after the Due Date in the
Due Period most recently ended prior to such Determination Date). 

     Any substitution of Home Loans pursuant to this Section 3.05(a) shall be
accompanied by payment  by the Transferor of the  Substitution Adjustment, if
any, to be  deposited in the Collection Account.  For purposes of calculating
the Available  Collection Amount for  any Payment Date,  amounts paid  by the
Transferor pursuant to this Section 3.05 in connection with the repurchase or
substitution of any Defective Home Loan that are on deposit in the Collection
Account as of the Determination Date for such Payment Date shall be deemed to
have been paid during the related Due Period and shall be transferred to  the
Note Payment Account to be retained therein or transferred to the Certificate
Distribution Account pursuant to Section 5.01(c).

     As to  any Home  Loan for which  the Transferor substitutes  a Qualified
Substitute Home Loan or Loans,  the Transferor shall effect such substitution
by delivering  (i) to the  Issuer a certification  executed by  a Responsible
Officer of the Transferor to the effect that the  Substitution Adjustment has
been credited to the Collection Account, and (ii) to the Custodian on  behalf
of the Indenture Trustee,  the documents constituting the Indenture Trustee's
Loan File for such Qualified Substitute Home Loan or Loans.

     (b)  In addition to  the preceding repurchase  obligations, each of  the
Transferor  and Servicer  shall  have  the option,  exercisable  in its  sole
discretion at any  time, to repurchase from the Issuer any  Home Loan that is
delinquent  or  is  in foreclosure  or  default  or as  to  which  default is
imminent;  provided  that  any  repurchase  pursuant  to  this  paragraph  is
conducted in  the same  manner as  the repurchase  of a  Defective Home  Loan
pursuant to this Section 3.05.

     (c)  The Servicer shall  deposit in the Collection  Account all payments
received  in connection with such Qualified Substitute  Home Loan or Loans on
or after the beginning of the  Due Period in which such substitution  occurs.
All payments received with respect  to Qualified Substitute Home Loans on  or
before the beginning of the Due Period in which such substitution occurs  
will be retained by the Transferor.   The Issuer will be entitled to 
all  payments received on the Deleted Home Loan  on or before the
beginning  of  the Due  Period  in which  such substitution  occurs,  and the
Transferor shall  thereafter be entitled  to retain all  amounts subsequently
received in respect  of such Deleted  Home Loan.   The Transferor shall  give
written notice  to the Issuer,  the Servicer (if  the Transferor is  not then
acting as  such) and the Indenture Trustee   that such substitution has taken
place.  Upon such substitution, such  Qualified Substitute Home Loan or Loans
shall  be subject to  the terms  of this Agreement  in all respects,  and the
Transferor  shall  be deemed  to  have made  with  respect to  such Qualified
Substitute Home Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants,
representations and  warranties set forth  in Section 3.03.   On the  date of
such substitution, the Transferor will deposit into the Collection Account an
amount equal to the related Substitution Adjustment, if any.  In addition, on
the  date of  such substitution,  (i) the Issuer  shall cause  such Qualified
Substitute  Home  Loan  to be  pledged  to the  Indenture  Trustee  under the
Indenture as  part of the Trust  Estate and (ii) the  Indenture Trustee shall
(A) release the applicable Deleted  Home Loan from the lien of the Indenture,
(B) release (or cause  the Custodian to release) to the  Servicer for release
to the Seller  the Indenture Trustee's Home  Loan File for such  Deleted Home
Loan  and (C)  execute,  without recourse,  representation  or warranty,  and
deliver such  instruments of  transfer and  release  presented to  it by  the
Servicer as shall  be necessary  to transfer  such Deleted Home  Loan to  the
Seller and to evidence such release.

     (d)  It is understood and agreed  that the obligations of the Transferor
set  forth  in  this Section  3.05  to  cure, purchase  or  substitute  for a
Defective Home Loan constitute the sole remedies of the Issuer, the Indenture
Trustee  and  the  Securityholders  hereunder  respecting  a  breach  of  the
representations and  warranties contained  in Sections 3.03  and  3.04.   Any
cause of action against the  Seller relating to or arising out of  a material
defect in a  document contained in an  Indenture Trustee's Home Loan  File as
contemplated  by Section  2.06(b) or  against the  Transferor relating  to or
arising  out  of a  breach  of  any representations  and  warranties made  in
Sections 3.03 or 3.04  shall accrue as to any Home Loan upon (i) discovery of
such defect or breach  by any party and  notice thereof to the Seller  or the
Transferor, as applicable, or notice thereof by the Transferor or the Seller,
as applicable, to the  Issuer, (ii) failure by the Transferor  or the Seller,
as applicable, to cure such defect  or breach or purchase or substitute  such
Home  Loan as specified  above, and (iii)  demand upon the  Transferor or the
Seller, as applicable, by the Issuer  or the Majority Securityholders for all
amounts payable in respect of such Home Loan.

     (e)  Neither the Issuer nor the Indenture Trustee shall have any duty to
conduct any affirmative investigation other than as specifically set forth in
this Agreement as to the occurrence of any condition requiring the repurchase
or substitution of any Home Loan pursuant  to this Section or the eligibility
of any Home Loan for purposes of this Agreement.

     (f)  In connection  with a repurchase of or substitution for a Home Loan
pursuant  to this  Section 3.05, the  Transferor  shall amend  the Home  Loan
Schedule to reflect (i) the removal of the applicable Deleted Home  Loan from
the terms of this  Agreement and (ii) if applicable, the  substitution of the
applicable Qualified  Substitute Home  Loan.   The Transferor  shall promptly
deliver to the Issuer, the Servicer (if the Transferor is not then acting  as
such)  and the  Indenture Trustee  a copy  of the  Home Loan  Schedule  as so
amended.

                                  ARTICLE IV

              ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

     Section 4.01.  Duties of the Servicer.  (a)  Servicing Standard.  The
                    ----------------------        ------------------
Servicer, as an independent contractor, shall service and administer the Home
Loans and shall have  full power and authority, acting  alone, to do any  and
all things  in connection  with such servicing  and administration  which the
Servicer may  deem necessary or  desirable and consistent  with the  terms of
this Agreement.  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary  contained herein,
the Servicer,  in servicing and administering the Home Loans, shall employ or
cause   to  be   employed  procedures  (including   collection,  foreclosure,
liquidation and Foreclosure  Property management and liquidation  procedures)
and exercise  the  same care  that it  customarily employs  and exercises  in
servicing  and administering loans of the same type as the Home Loans for its
own account, all  in accordance with accepted servicing  practices of prudent
lending  institutions and  servicers of loans  of the  same type as  the Home
Loans and  giving due consideration  to the Securityholders' reliance  on the
Servicer.  The Servicer has and shall maintain the facilities, procedures and
experienced personnel  necessary to comply  with the  servicing standard  set
forth in this subsection (a) and the duties of the Servicer set forth in this
Agreement relating to the servicing and administration of the Home Loans. 

     (b)  Servicing Advances.  In accordance with the preceding general
          ------------------
servicing  standard,  the Servicer,  or  any  Subservicer  on behalf  of  the
Servicer, shall make all Servicing  Advances in connection with the servicing
of each Home Loan hereunder.   Notwithstanding any provision to the  contrary
herein, neither the Servicer, nor any  Subservicer on behalf of the Servicer,
shall  have  any obligation  to  advance  its own  funds  for  any delinquent
scheduled payments of principal  and interest on any Home Loan  or to satisfy
or keep current the indebtedness secured by any Superior Liens on the related
Mortgaged Property.  No costs incurred by the Servicer or any  Subservicer in
respect  of  Servicing  Advances  shall,  for the  purposes  of  payments  or
distributions  to Securityholders,  be added  to the  amount owing  under the
related Home Loan.  Notwithstanding any obligation by the Servicer to  make a
Servicing Advance hereunder  with respect to  a Home Loan, before  making any
Servicing Advance that  is material in relation to  the outstanding principal
balance thereof, the  Servicer shall assess the reasonable  likelihood of (i)
recovering such Servicing  Advance and any prior Servicing  Advances for such
Home  Loan,  and (ii)  recovering  any  amounts attributable  to  outstanding
interest and  principal  owing on  such  Home Loan  for  the benefit  of  the
Securityholders  in excess  of the  costs, expenses  and other  deductions to
obtain such  recovery, including  without limitation  any Servicing  Advances
therefor  and, if  applicable, the  outstanding indebtedness  secured by  all
Superior  Liens.   The  Servicer shall  only make  a  Servicing Advance  with
respect to  a Home Loan  to the extent  that the  Servicer determines in  its
reasonable, good faith  judgment that such Servicing Advance  would likely be
recovered as aforesaid.

     (c)  Waivers, Modifications and Extensions.  Consistent with the terms
          -------------------------------------
of this Agreement,  the Servicer may waive,  modify or vary any  provision of
any Home Loan  or consent to the  postponement of strict compliance  with any
such provision  or in any  manner grant indulgence to  any Obligor if  in the
Servicer's reasonable determination such waiver, modification, postponement  
or indulgence  is not  materially adverse to  the interests of the 
Securityholders; provided, however, unless the Obligor is in default 
with respect to the Home Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of
the  Servicer,  reasonably foreseeable,  the  Servicer  may  not  permit  any
modification with respect  to any Home Loan  that would change the  Home Loan
Interest  Rate, defer  (subject to  the following  paragraph) or  forgive the
payment  of  any  principal  or  interest  (unless  in  connection  with  the
liquidation of the  related Home Loan) or  extend the final maturity  date on
the Home Loan.  The Servicer may grant a waiver or enter into a subordination
agreement with respect to  the refinancing of the  indebtedness secured by  a
Superior Lien on the related Mortgaged Property, provided that the Obligor is
in a better financial or cash flow  position as a result of such refinancing,
which may  include a reduction in the  Obligor's scheduled monthly payment on
the  indebtedness secured by such  Superior Lien.   The Servicer shall notify
the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee of any modification, waiver or amendment
of any provision of any Home Loan and the date thereof, and  shall deliver to
the Custodian for deposit in the related  Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File,
an  original counterpart  of  the agreement  relating  to such  modification,
waiver   or    amendment   promptly   following    the   execution   thereof.
Notwithstanding  the  preceding  provisions  of  this  subsection  (c),   the
Servicer may  modify, vary or waive any defaulted Home  Loan in a manner that
in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer will be likely to maximize the net
proceeds realizable  from such defaulted  Home Loan under  the circumstances,
including, without limitation, the deferment or forgiveness  of any principal
or interest payments due or to become due thereon; provided, however, that no
such  modification, waiver  or variation  of  a Home  Loan  pursuant to  this
subsection (c) shall  involve the execution by  the related Obligor of  a new
Debt Instrument.

     The Servicer  shall  make reasonable  efforts  to collect  all  payments
called for under the terms and provisions  of each Home Loan and the  related
Debt Instrument  and Mortgage.   Consistent with the foregoing,  the Servicer
may in its discretion  waive or permit to be waived  any late payment charge,
prepayment charge or  assumption fee  or any  other fee or  charge which  the
Servicer would be entitled to  retain hereunder as Servicing Compensation and
extend the due date  for payments due on a Debt Instrument for  a period.  In
connection  with  any partial  prepayment, the  Servicer may  recalculate the
amortization schedule of the related Home Loan to provide for reduced monthly
payments over the remaining term to maturity.

     The Servicer may,  in a manner consistent with  its servicing practices,
permit an Obligor who is selling his principal residence and purchasing a new
residence  to substitute  the new  Mortgaged Property  as collateral  for the
related Home Loan.  In such  circumstances, the Servicer acknowledges that it
intends to, consistent  with its servicing practices,  generally require such
Obligor to make a partial prepayment in reduction of the principal balance of
the Home Loan to the extent that such Obligor has received proceeds  from the
sale of the prior  residence that will not be applied to  the purchase of the
new residence.

     (d)  Instruments of Satisfaction or Release.  Without limiting the
          --------------------------------------
generality of the foregoing, the  Servicer is hereby authorized and empowered
to execute  and deliver on behalf of the  Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, each
Securityholder,  all instruments  of  satisfaction  or  cancellation,  or  of
partial or full release, discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect  to  the  Home  Loans  and  with  respect  to  the related  Mortgaged
Properties.  If reasonably required  by the  Servicer, the Issuer  and the  
Indenture Trustee shall furnish the  Servicer with any powers  of attorney 
and other  documents necessary or  appropriate to enable  the Servicer to 
carry  out its servicing and administrative duties under this Agreement.

     Section 4.02.  Liquidation of Home Loans.  (a)  In the event that any
                    -------------------------
payment due under any Home Loan and not postponed pursuant to Section 4.01(c)
is not  paid when  the same  becomes due  and payable,  or in  the event  the
Obligor fails to perform any other covenant or obligation under the Home Loan
and such failure  continues beyond any applicable grace  period, the Servicer
shall, in accordance with the standard  of care specified in Section 4.01(a),
take  such action  as  it  shall deem  to  be in  the  best  interest of  the
Securityholders to collect or liquidate such Home Loan in default in a manner
that in  the reasonable judgment of the Servicer   will be likely to maximize
the net proceeds realizable therefrom under the circumstances (including, but
without limitation, the  purchase or substitution of such  Home Loan pursuant
to  Section 3.05,  or, if no  Superior Liens  exist on the  related Mortgaged
Property,   foreclose  or  otherwise  comparably  effect  ownership  in  such
Mortgaged Property in  the name of the  Indenture Trustee for the  benefit of
Securityholders).    In addition,  the  Servicer  shall  have the  power  and
authority,  exercisable in  its sole  discretion  at any  time,  to sell  any
Liquidated Home Loan  on behalf of the  Indenture Trustee for the  benefit of
the Securityholders to one or more  third party purchasers in a manner  that,
in the reasonable  judgment of the Servicer,  will be likely to  maximize the
net  proceeds  realizable  therefrom.    The  purchase  price  paid  for  any
Liquidated Loan sold to  an affiliate of the Servicer shall  not be less than
the  price  that  would  have  been  paid  for  such  Liquidated  Loan  by an
unaffiliated  third party.    The  Servicer shall  promptly  deposit the  Net
Liquidation  Proceeds or Post-Liquidation  Proceeds, as applicable,  from the
sale of such Liquidated Home Loans into the Collection Account  in accordance
with Section 5.01 of  this Agreement.  The Servicer shall  give the Indenture
Trustee  notice of  the election  of remedies  made pursuant to  this Section
4.02.  The Servicer shall not be required to satisfy the indebtedness secured
by any Superior Liens  on the related Mortgaged Property or  to advance funds
to keep  the  indebtedness  secured  by such  Superior  Liens  current.    In
connection  with any collection or liquidation activities, the Servicer shall
exercise collection  or liquidation procedures  with the same degree  of care
and skill  as it would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct
of its own affairs.

     (b)  During  any  Due Period  occurring  after  a  Home Loan  becomes  a
Liquidated Home Loan, the Servicer  shall deposit into the Collection Account
any  proceeds received by it with respect to such Liquidated Home Loan or the
related Foreclosure Property ("Post-Liquidation Proceeds").

     (c)  After  a Home Loan has become  a Liquidated Home Loan, the Servicer
shall promptly prepare and forward to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee  and,
upon request  of  any Securityholder,  to such  Securityholder a  liquidation
report detailing  the following: (i) the Net  Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance
Proceeds or Released Mortgaged Property  Proceeds received in respect of such
Liquidated Home Loan; (ii) expenses  incurred with respect thereto; (iii) any
Net  Loan  Losses  incurred  in  connection therewith;  and  (iv)  any  Post-
Liquidation Proceeds. 

     Section 4.03.  Fidelity Bond; Errors and Omission Insurance.  The
                    --------------------------------------------
Servicer shall maintain with a responsible company, and at its own expense, a
blanket fidelity bond and  an errors and omissions  insurance policy in  such
amounts as required by, and satisfying any other requirements of, the FHA and
the  FHLMC, with broad  coverage on all officers,  employees or other persons
acting  in  any capacity  requiring  such  persons  to handle  funds,  money,
documents or papers relating  to the Home Loans ("Servicer  Employees").  Any
such  fidelity bond  and errors  and  omissions insurance  shall protect  and
insure the Servicer against losses, including losses  resulting from forgery,
theft,  embezzlement,  fraud,   errors  and  omissions  and   negligent  acts
(including acts  relating to the  origination and servicing  of loans  of the
same  type as the Home Loans) of such Servicer Employees.  Such fidelity bond
shall also  protect and insure the Servicer against losses in connection with
the release or satisfaction of a Home Loan without having obtained payment in
full  of the  indebtedness secured  thereby.   In the  event  of any  loss of
principal or interest on a Home Loan for which reimbursement is received from
the Servicer's fidelity bond or  errors and omissions insurance, the proceeds
from any  such insurance will  be deposited in   the Collection  Account.  No
provision of this  Section 4.03 requiring such  fidelity bond and  errors and
omissions insurance  shall diminish or  relieve the Servicer from  its duties
and obligations  as set forth  in this  Agreement.  Upon  the request  of the
Issuer, the  Indenture Trustee, the  Servicer shall cause to  be delivered to
requesting party a certified  true copy of  such fidelity bond and  insurance
policy.  On the Closing Date, such fidelity bond and insurance  is maintained
by the Servicer with Reliance Insurance Company of Illinois.

     Section 4.04.  Title, Management and Disposition of Foreclosure
                    ------------------------------------------------
Property.  The deed or certificate of sale in respect of each Foreclosure
- --------
Property shall be taken in the name of the Indenture Trustee for the  benefit
of the Securityholders.

     The   Servicer  shall  manage,   conserve,  protect  and   operate  each
Foreclosure Property for the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders solely
for the purpose of its prudent and prompt disposition and sale.  The Servicer
shall, either  itself or through an  agent selected by the  Servicer, manage,
conserve, protect  and operate  the Foreclosure Property  in the  same manner
that it manages, conserves, protects and operates  other foreclosure property
for its own account, and in the same manner that similar property in the same
locality as the  Foreclosure Property is managed.  The Servicer shall attempt
to sell  the same  (and may  temporarily lease  the same) on  such terms  and
conditions  as  the  Servicer  deems  to  be  in the  best  interest  of  the
Securityholders.   The disposition of  Foreclosure Property shall  be carried
out by the Servicer at such price, and upon such terms and conditions, as the
Servicer  deems to be in the  best interest of the  Indenture Trustee and the
Securityholders and, as soon as  practicable thereafter, the expenses of such
sale  shall  be paid.    The  Net  Liquidation Proceeds  or  Post-Liquidation
Proceeds, as applicable,  from the conservation, disposition and  sale of the
Foreclosure  Property shall  be promptly  deposited  by the  Servicer in  the
Collection Account in accordance with  Section 5.01 of this Agreement and the
Indenture,  which Net Liquidation  Proceeds or Post-Liquidation  Proceeds, as
applicable, shall equal  all cash amounts received with  respect thereto less
the  amounts  retained  and  withdrawn   by  the  Servicer  for  any  related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances  and any other fees and  expenses incurred in
connection with such Foreclosure Property.

     Section 4.05.  Access to Certain Documentation and Information Regarding
                    ---------------------------------------------------------
the Home Loans.  The Servicer shall provide to the Issuer, the Indenture
- --------------
Trustee, the Securityholders and the supervisory agents and examiners of each
of  the  foregoing access  to  the  documentation  regarding the  Home  Loans
required by  applicable  state and  federal  regulations, such  access  being
afforded without  charge but only  upon reasonable request and  during normal
business hours at the offices of the Servicer designated by it.

     Section 4.06.  Superior Liens.  (a)  The Servicer shall file (or cause
                    --------------
to be filed)  of record a request  for notice of  any action by a  lienholder
under a Superior Lien for the protection of the Indenture Trustee's interest,
where permitted  by local  law and  whenever applicable  state  law does  not
require that a junior lienholder be named as a party defendant in foreclosure
proceedings  in  order  to  foreclose  such  junior  lienholder's  equity  of
redemption.

     (b)  If the  Servicer is notified  that any lienholder under  a Superior
Lien has accelerated or intends to accelerate the obligations secured by such
Superior Lien,  or has  declared or intends  to declare  a default  under the
related mortgage or promissory note secured thereby, or  has filed or intends
to file an  election to have any  Mortgaged Property sold or  foreclosed, the
Servicer shall  take, on behalf of the Issuer  and the Indenture Trustee, all
reasonable  actions  that are  necessary  to  protect  the interests  of  the
Securityholders, and/or  to preserve the  security of the related  Home Loan,
including  making any  Servicing  Advances  that are  necessary  to cure  the
default  or reinstate  the Superior  Lien.   The  Servicer shall  immediately
notify  the  Issuer  and  the  Indenture  Trustee  of  any  such  action   or
circumstances.  Any  Servicing  Advances  by the  Servicer  pursuant  to  its
obligations in this Section 4.06 shall  comply with requirements set forth in
Section 4.01(b) hereof.

     Section 4.07.  Subservicing.  (a)  The Servicer may, with the prior
                    ------------
written consent of the Indenture Trustee  and each Rating Agency, enter  into
Subservicing Agreements for  any servicing and  administration of Home  Loans
with any  institution which  is in  compliance with  the laws  of each  state
necessary to  enable it  to perform its  obligations under  such Subservicing
Agreement and is an Eligible Servicer.  The Servicer shall give prior written
notice  to the  Issuer,  the  Indenture Trustee  of  the appointment  of  any
Subservicer.   The Servicer shall  be entitled to terminate  any Subservicing
Agreement in  accordance with the  terms and conditions of  such Subservicing
Agreement and to either directly service the related Home Loans or enter into
a  Subservicing  Agreement  with  a  successor  subservicer  which  qualifies
hereunder.

     (b)  Notwithstanding any  Subservicing Agreement, any of  the provisions
of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer
and a  Subservicer or reference  to actions  taken through  a Subservicer  or
otherwise, the  Servicer shall remain  obligated and primarily liable  to the
Issuer,  the  Indenture Trustee  and  Securityholders for  the  servicing and
administering of the  Home Loans  in accordance with  the provisions of  this
Agreement without  diminution of  such obligation or  liability by  virtue of
such Subservicing Agreements or arrangements or by virtue of  indemnification
from  the Subservicer and  to the same  extent and  under the same  terms and
conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Home
Loans.   For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received payments  on Home Loans  when the Subservicer has  actually received
such payments and, unless the context otherwise requires, references in this 
Agreement to actions taken  or to be taken  by the Servicer in  servicing the
Home Loans include actions taken or to be taken by a Subservicer on behalf of
the Servicer.   The Servicer shall  be entitled to  enter into any  agreement
with a Subservicer  for indemnification of the Servicer  by such Subservicer,
and nothing contained  in this Agreement shall  be deemed to limit  or modify
such indemnification.

     (c)  In  the event the  Servicer shall for  any reason no  longer be the
Servicer  (including  by  reason  of  an Event  of  Default),  the  successor
Servicer,  on  behalf   of  the  Issuer,  the  Indenture   Trustee,  and  the
Securityholders pursuant to Section 4.08, shall  thereupon assume all of  the
rights and obligations of the Servicer under each Subservicing Agreement that
the Servicer may have entered  into, unless the successor Servicer  elects to
terminate  any Subservicing  Agreement in  accordance  with its  terms.   The
successor Servicer  shall be  deemed to  have assumed  all of  the Servicer's
interest  therein and  to  have replaced  the  Servicer as  a  party to  each
Subservicing Agreement to  the same extent as if  the Subservicing Agreements
had been assigned to  the assuming party, except that the  Servicer shall not
thereby be  relieved of any  liability or obligations under  the Subservicing
Agreements.  The  Servicer at its expense and without  right of reimbursement
therefor,  shall, upon  request of  the  successor Servicer,  deliver to  the
assuming  party  all  documents and  records  relating  to  each Subservicing
Agreement and the Home Loans then being serviced and an accounting of amounts
collected and  held by it  and otherwise use its  best efforts to  effect the
orderly and efficient transfer of the Subservicing Agreements to the assuming
party.

     (d)  As  part of its  servicing activities hereunder,  the Servicer, for
the benefit  of the  Issuer, the Indenture  Trustee and  the Securityholders,
shall  enforce  the  obligations  of   each  Subservicer  under  the  related
Subservicing Agreement.  Such enforcement, including, without limitation, the
legal prosecution  of claims and  the pursuit of other  appropriate remedies,
shall  be in such form and carried out to  such an extent and at such time as
the Servicer, in its good faith business judgment, would require were  it the
owner of  the related Home Loans.   The Servicer shall pay the  costs of such
enforcement at  its own expense,  and shall  be reimbursed therefor  only (i)
from  a general recovery  resulting from such  enforcement to  the extent, if
any, that such  recovery exceeds all  amounts due in  respect of the  related
Home Loan or  (ii) from a specific  recovery of costs, expenses  or attorneys
fees against the party against whom such enforcement is directed.

     (e)  Any Subservicing Agreement  that may be entered into  and any other
transactions or services  relating to the Home Loans  involving a Subservicer
in its  capacity as  such and  not as  an originator  shall be  deemed to  be
between the Subservicer  and the Servicer alone  and none of the  Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee or the  Securityholders  shall be deemed parties thereto or
shall have  any  claims,  rights, obligations,  duties  or  liabilities  with
respect  to the Subservicer  in its capacity  as such except as  set forth in
Section 4.07(c) above.

     Section 4.08.  Successor Servicers.  In the event that the Servicer is
                    -------------------
terminated pursuant to  Section 10.01 hereof, or resigns  pursuant to Section
9.04 hereof or otherwise becomes unable to perform its obligations under this
Agreement, the Indenture  Trustee will become the successor  Servicer or will
appoint a  successor Servicer  in accordance with  the provisions  of Section
10.02 hereof; provided that any successor Servicer, including the 
Indenture Trustee, shall satisfy the requirements of an Eligible Servicer and
shall be approved by each Rating Agency.

from the calculation  of the Servicing Compensation that  is distributable to
the Servicer from the Note Payment Account on the next Payment Date following

     Section 5.06.  Trust Accounts; Trust Account Property.  (a)  Control of
                    --------------------------------------
Trust Accounts.   Each of the  Trust Accounts established hereunder  has been
pledged by the  Issuer to the Indenture Trustee under the Indenture and shall
be subject to  the lien  of the  Indenture.   In addition  to the  provisions
hereunder,  each  of  the  Trust  Accounts  shall  also  be  established  and
maintained pursuant to the Indenture.  Amounts  paid or distributed from each
Trust Account  in accordance with  the Indenture and this  Agreement shall be
released  from the lien  of the Indenture  upon such payment  or distribution
thereunder  or hereunder.   The  Indenture Trustee  shall possess  all right,
title and interest  in all funds  on deposit from time  to time in  the Trust
Accounts and in  all proceeds thereof (including all income  thereon) and all
such funds,  investments,  proceeds and  income shall  be part  of the  Trust
Account  Property and the Trust  Estate.  If, at any  time, any Trust Account
ceases to be an  Eligible Account, the Indenture Trustee (or  the Servicer on
its  behalf) shall  within 10 Business  Days (or  such longer period,  not to
exceed  30  calendar days,  as  to  which  each  Rating Agency  may  consent)
(i) establish a new Trust Account  as an Eligible Account, (ii) terminate the
ineligible Trust  Account, and (iii) transfer  any cash and  investments from
such ineligible Trust Account to such new Trust Account.  With respect to the
Trust Accounts, the Indenture Trustee  agrees, by its acceptance hereof, that
each such Trust  Account shall be subject  to the sole and  exclusive custody
and control of  the Indenture Trustee for the benefit  of the Securityholders
and the Issuer, as the case may be, and the Indenture Trustee shall have sole
signature and withdrawal authority with respect thereto.

     In  addition to  this Agreement,  the  Certificate Distribution  Account
established hereunder also shall be subject to and established and maintained
in  accordance  with the  Trust  Agreement.   The Owner  Trustee  or Co-Owner
Trustee shall possess  all right, title and  interest for the benefit  of the
Certificateholders    in  all funds  on  deposit  from time  to  time  in the
Certificate Distribution Account and in  all proceeds thereof (including  all
income thereon) and all such funds, investments, proceeds and income shall be
part  of the  Trust  Account Property.    If, at  any  time, the  Certificate
Distribution  Account ceases to  be an Eligible  Account, the  Issuer (or the
Servicer on its behalf) shall within 10 Business Days (or such longer period,
not to  exceed 30 calendar days, as to which  each Rating Agency may consent)
(i) establish  a new Certificate Distribution Account as an Eligible Account,
(ii) terminate   the   ineligible  Certificate   Distribution   Account,  and
(iii) transfer  any cash  and investments  from  such ineligible  Certificate
Distribution Account to such new Certificate Distribution Account.  The Owner
Trustee and  Co-Owner Trustee  agree, by their  acceptance hereof,  that such
Certificate Distribution Account  shall be subject to the  sole and exclusive
custody and control of the  Owner Trustee and Co-Owner Trustee for  the 
benefit of the Issuer and the   parties   entitled  to   distributions  
therefrom,   including  without limitation, the Certificateholders,  and the 
Owner  Trustee and the  Co-Owner Trustee shall  have sole signature  and 
withdrawal authority with  respect to the Certificate Distribution Account.  

     The Servicer shall have the power, revocable by the Indenture Trustee or
by the Owner  Trustee or Co-Owner Trustee  with the consent of  the Indenture
Trustee,  to instruct  the Indenture  Trustee  or Owner  Trustee or  Co-Owner
Trustee to  make withdrawals  and payments  from the  Trust Accounts and  the
Certificate Distribution Account  for the purpose of permitting  the Servicer
to  carry out its  duties hereunder  or permitting  the Indenture  Trustee or
Owner Trustee or Co-Owner Trustee to carry out its duties herein or under the
Indenture or the Trust Agreement, as applicable.

     (b)(1)    Investment of Funds.  So long as no Event of Default shall
               -------------------
have occurred and  be continuing, the funds held  in any Trust Account  or in
the  Certificate  Distribution  Account  may   be  invested  (to  the  extent
practicable and  consistent with any  requirements of the Code)  in Permitted
Investments,  as directed  by the  Servicer, in  the case  of the  Collection
Account, or by  the Transferor, in the  case of each other  Trust Account and
the Certificate Distribution Account, in each case in writing or by telephone
or  facsimile  transmission confirmed  in  writing  by  the Servicer  or  the
Transferor, as applicable.  In any case, funds in any Trust Account or in the
Certificate Distribution  Account must  be available  for withdrawal  without
penalty, and any Permitted Investments  must mature or otherwise be available
for  withdrawal, not later than three  (3) Business Days (except with respect
to the Note Payment Account, Pre-Funding Account and Certificate Distribution
Account, which shall be invested on a one (1) Business Day basis) immediately
preceding the Payment  Date next  following the date  of such investment  and
shall  not  be  sold  or  disposed  of  prior  to  its  maturity  subject  to
Section 5.06(b)(2) below.  All interest  and any other investment earnings on
amounts  or  investments held  in  any Trust  Account  or in  the Certificate
Distribution Account shall  be deposited into  such account immediately  upon
receipt  by  the Indenture  Trustee,  or  in  the  case  of  the  Certificate
Distribution Account, the  Owner Trustee or Co-Owner  Trustee, as applicable.
All Permitted Investments  in which funds in  any Trust Account are  invested
must be held by or registered in the name of "U.S. Bank National Association,
as Indenture  Trustee, in  trust for the  FIRSTPLUS Asset  Backed Securities,
Series  1998-2".     While  the  Co-Owner   Trustee  holds  the   Certificate
Distribution  Account,  all  Permitted  Investments in  which  funds  in  the
Certificate Distribution Account are invested  shall be held by or registered
in the name of "U.S. Bank National Association, as Co-Owner Trustee, in trust
for the FIRSTPLUS Asset Backed Securities, Series 1998-2".

     (b)(2)    Insufficiency and Losses in Trust Accounts.  If any amounts
               ------------------------------------------
are  needed  for disbursement  from  any  Trust  Account or  the  Certificate
Distribution Account  and sufficient  uninvested funds  are not available  to
make such disbursement,  the Indenture Trustee, or Owner  Trustee or Co-Owner
Trustee in the case of  the Certificate Distribution Account, shall  cause to
be sold or otherwise converted to cash a sufficient amount of the investments
in such account.  The Indenture Trustee, or Owner Trustee or Co-Owner Trustee
in the case of the Certificate Distribution Account, shall not be  liable for
any investment loss or other charge resulting therefrom, unless such  loss or
charge is caused by the failure of the Indenture  Trustee or  Owner Trustee 
or Co-Owner  Trustee,  respectively, to perform in accordance with this 
Section 5.06.

          If any losses are realized in connection with any investment in any
Trust Account  or in  the Certificate Distribution  Account pursuant  to this
Agreement  and  the  Indenture,  then  the  Servicer,  with  respect  to  the
Collection  Account, and  the Transferor,  with  respect to  each other  such
account, shall deposit the amount of such losses (to the extent not offset by
income from  other investments in  such account) in such  account immediately
upon the realization of such loss or, to the extent that the  Servicer or the
Transferor, as applicable, fails to deposit  any portion of such amount,  the
Transferor  or the Servicer,  as applicable, shall  deposit any insufficiency
from such failure  in such account.   All interest  and any other  investment
earnings  on  amounts  held  in  any  Trust  Account  or in  the  Certificate
Distribution Account  shall be taxed to the Issuer  and for federal and state
income tax purposes the Issuer shall be deemed  to be the owner of each Trust
Account and of the Certificate Distribution Account.

     (c)  Subject  to Section  6.1 of  the Indenture,  the  Indenture Trustee
shall not  in any way  be held liable by  reason of any  insufficiency in any
Trust Account  held by  the Indenture Trustee  resulting from  any investment
loss on any  Permitted Investment included therein (except to the extent that
the  Indenture Trustee,  with respect  to such  Permitted Investment,  is the
obligor and has defaulted thereon).

     (d)  The  Issuer and  the  Indenture Trustee  hereby  appoint U.S.  Bank
National Association  as Securities  Intermediary with  respect to  the Trust
Accounts and the Certificate Distribution  Account.  The Issuer has, pursuant
to the Indenture,  granted to the Indenture Trustee, as  collateral agent for
the benefit of the Securityholders, a security interest to secure all amounts
due Noteholders  hereunder in  and  to the  Trust Accounts  and the  Security
Entitlements  to all Financial Assets credited to the Trust Accounts, and the
Seller hereby grants  to the Issuer, as  collateral agent for the  benefit of
Certificateholders,   a  security   interest  to   secure   all  mounts   due
Certificateholders hereunder in  and to the Certificate  Distribution Account
and  the Security  Entitlements  and  all Financial  Assets  credited to  the
Certificate Distribution Account,  including in each case  without limitation
all amounts,  securities, investments, Financial Assets,  investment property
and other  property  from time  to  time deposited  in  or credited  to  such
accounts and  all proceeds thereof.   Amounts held from  time to time  in the
Trust  Accounts will continue  to be held by  the Securities Intermediary for
the benefit of the Indenture Trustee, as collateral agent, for the benefit of
the  Securityholders, and amounts held  from time to  time in the Certificate
Distribution Account will continue to  be held by the Securities Intermediary
for the benefit  of the Issuer, as  collateral agent, for the benefit  of the
Certificateholders.  Upon  the termination of the  Trust or the discharge  of
the Indenture, the Indenture Trustee shall inform the Securities Intermediary
of such termination.  By acceptance of their Securities or interests therein,
the  Securityholders shall  be deemed  to have  appointed U.S.  Bank National

     Trust  Accounts and the Certificate Distribution Account, the Securities
     Intermediary agrees that:

               (i)  with respect to  any Trust Account Property  that is held
     in deposit accounts, each such  deposit account shall be subject  to the
     exclusive custody and  control of the  Securities Intermediary, and  the
     Securities Intermediary shall have sole signature authority with respect
     thereto;

               (ii) the  sole assets permitted in the  Trust Accounts and the
     Certificate  Distribution Account  shall  be  those  as  the  Securities
     Intermediary agrees to treat as Financial Assets; and

               (iii)     any  such  Trust  Account Property  that  is,  or is
     treated as, a Financial Asset shall be physically delivered (accompanied
     by any required  endorsements) to, or credited to an account in the name
     of,   the  Securities   Intermediary   or  other   eligible  institution
     maintaining any Trust Account or the Certificate Distribution Account in
     accordance  with the Securities Intermediary's customary procedures such
     that the Securities Intermediary or such other institution establishes a
     Security  Entitlement in  favor of  the Indenture  Trustee  with respect
     thereto over which the Securities Intermediary or such other institution
     has Control;

          (2)  The  Securities Intermediary  hereby  confirms  that (A)  each
     Trust Account and the Certificate  Distribution Account is an account to
     which  Financial Assets  are  or  may be  credited,  and the  Securities
     Intermediary shall,  subject to the  terms of this Agreement,  treat the
     Indenture  Trustee, as  collateral agent,  as  entitled to  exercise the

     that   comprise  any  Financial   Asset  credited  to   the  Certificate
     Distribution Account, (B)  all Trust Account Property in  respect of any
     Trust Account or  the Certificate Distribution Account  will be promptly
     credited by  the Securities  Intermediary to such  account, and  (C) all
     securities or other property underlying any Financial Assets credited to
     any  Trust Account  or  the Certificate  Distribution  Account shall  be
     registered in the  name of the Securities Intermediary,  endorsed to the
     Securities Intermediary or  in blank or  credited to another  securities
     account maintained in the name of  the Securities Intermediary and in no
     case (x)  will  any Financial  Asset credited  to any  Trust Account  be
     registered in the name of the Seller or the Issuer, payable to the order
     of the Seller or the Issuer  or specially endorsed to the Seller or  the
     Issuer,  or (y)  will any  Financial Asset  credited to  the Certificate
     Distribution Account be registered in the name of the Seller, payable to
     the order of the Seller or  specially endorsed to the Seller, except  to
     the extent the foregoing have  been specially endorsed to the Securities
     Intermediary or in blank;

          (3)  The  Securities Intermediary hereby  agrees that each  item of
     property  (whether  investment  property,   Financial  Asset,  security,
     instrument or  cash) credited  to any Trust  Account or  the Certificate
     Distribution Account shall be treated as a Financial Asset;

          (4)  If at any time  the Securities Intermediary shall  receive any
     order from the Indenture Trustee directing transfer or redemption of any
     Financial   Asset  relating  to   any  Trust  Account,   the  Securities
     Intermediary  shall comply with  such entitlement order  without further
     consent by the Seller,  the Issuer or any other Person.   If at any time
     the  Indenture Trustee notifies  the Securities Intermediary  in writing
     that  the Trust  has  been  terminated or  the  Indenture discharged  in
     accordance herewith  and with the  Trust Agreement or the  Indenture, as
     applicable, and the security interest  granted pursuant to the Indenture
     has been released, then thereafter if  the Securities Intermediary shall
     receive any  order from the Seller  or the Issuer directing  transfer or
     redemption of  any Financial  Asset relating to  any Trust  Account, the
     Securities Intermediary shall comply with such entitlement order without
     further consent by the Indenture Trustee or any other Person;

          If at any time the  Securities Intermediary shall receive any order
     from the Issuer directing transfer  or redemption of any Financial Asset
     relating  to  the  Certificate  Distribution  Account,   the  Securities
     Intermediary  shall comply with  such entitlement order  without further
     consent  by the Seller or any  other Person.  If  at any time the Issuer
     notifies the Securities Intermediary in  writing that the Trust has been
     terminated in accordance  herewith and with the Trust  Agreement and the
     security interest  granted above has  been released, then  thereafter if
     the Securities  Intermediary  shall receive  any order  from the  Seller
     directing transfer or redemption of  any Financial Asset relating to the
     Certificate Distribution  Account,  the  Securities  Intermediary  shall
     comply with such entitlement order without further consent by the Issuer
     or any other Person;

          (5)  In  the  event   that  the  Securities  Intermediary   has  or
     subsequently  obtains  by agreement,  operation  of law  or  otherwise a
     security interest in  any Trust Account or  the Certificate Distribution
     Account   or  any  Financial  Asset  credited  thereto,  the  Securities
     Intermediary   hereby  agrees  that  such  security  interest  shall  be
     subordinate to  the security interest  of the Indenture Trustee,  in the
     case of  the  Trust Accounts,  or of  the  Issuer, in  the case  of  the
     Certificate Distribution Account.  The Financial  Assets credited to the
     Trust  Accounts or  the  Certificate Distribution  Account  will not  be
     subject  to deduction,  set-off, banker's  lien, or  any other  right in
     favor of any Person other than the Indenture Trustee, in the case of the
     Trust  Accounts,  or  the  Issuer,   in  the  case  of  the  Certificate
     Distribution  Account (except that  the Securities Intermediary  may set
     off (i)  all amounts  due to  it in  respect of  its customary fees  and
     expenses for the routine maintenance and operation of the Trust Accounts
     and the  Certificate Distribution Account,  and (ii) the face  amount of
     any checks  which  have  been  credited to  any  Trust  Account  or  the
     Certificate Distribution Account  but are  subsequently returned  unpaid
     because of uncollected or insufficient funds);

          (6)  There  are  no  other  agreements  entered  into  between  the
     Securities Intermediary  in such capacity  and the Seller or  the Issuer
     with respect to  any Trust Account,  or the Seller  with respect to  the
     Certificate Distribution Account.  In  the event of any conflict between
     this Agreement (or any provision of this Agreement) and  any other  
     agreement now  existing or  hereafter entered  into, the  terms of this 
     Agreement shall prevail;
 
          (7)  The  rights and powers granted under  the Indenture and herein
     to (x)  the Indenture Trustee have been granted  in order to perfect its
     security interest in the Trust Accounts and the Security Entitlements to
     the  Financial Assets  credited thereto,  and (y)  the Issuer  have been
     granted in  order to  perfect its security  interest in  the Certificate
     Distribution  Account and  the Security  Entitlements  to the  Financial
     Assets credited  thereto, and  are powers coupled  with an  interest and
     will neither be affected by the bankruptcy of the Seller (or the Issuer,
     in the  case of  the Trust  Accounts) nor  by the  lapse of  time.   The
     obligations of the  Securities Intermediary hereunder shall  continue in
     effect until the security interest of the Indenture Trustee in the Trust
     Accounts or the  Issuer in the Certificate Distribution  Account, and in
     such Security Entitlements, has been terminated pursuant to the terms of
     this Agreement and  the Indenture Trustee or the  Issuer, as applicable,
     has notified the Securities Intermediary of such termination in writing;
     and

          (8)  Notwithstanding anything else contained herein, the Seller and
     the  Issuer   agree  that  the   Trust  Accounts  and   the  Certificate
     Distribution  Account will  be  established  only  with  the  Securities
     Intermediary or  another institution  meeting the  requirements of  this
     Section,   which  by  acceptance   of  its  appointment   as  Securities
     Intermediary agrees substantially  as follows:  (1) it  will comply with
     Entitlement Orders related to the Trust Accounts issued by the Indenture
     Trustee, as collateral  agent, without further consent by  the Seller or
     the  Issuer, and  with  Entitlement Orders  related  to the  Certificate
     Distribution Account issued by the Issuer,  as collateral agent, without
     further consent  by the Seller;  (2) until termination  of the Trust  or
     discharge of the Indenture, it will  not enter into any other  agreement
     related to  such accounts  pursuant to  which it  agrees to  comply with
     Entitlement Orders  of any Person  other than the Indenture  Trustee, as
     collateral  agent with respect to the  Trust Accounts, or the Issuer, as
     collateral agent with  respect to the Certificate  Distribution Account;
     and (3) all assets delivered or  credited to it in connection with  such
     accounts and  all investments thereof  will be promptly credited  to the
     applicable account.

     (e)  The Servicer  shall  have the  power,  revocable by  the  Indenture
Trustee  or  by the  Issuer with  the  consent of  the Indenture  Trustee, to
instruct  the Indenture  Trustee to  make withdrawals  and payments  from the
Trust Accounts for  the purpose of permitting  the Servicer or the  Issuer to
carry out its respective duties hereunder or permitting the Indenture Trustee
to carry out its duties under the Indenture.

     Section 5.07.  Allocation of Losses.  (a)  In the event that Net
                    --------------------
Liquidation  Proceeds,  Insurance  Proceeds  or  Released Mortgaged  Property
Proceeds on  a  Liquidated Home  Loan  are less  than the  related  Principal
Balance plus accrued interest thereon, or any Obligor makes a partial payment
of  any Monthly Payment  due on a  Home Loan, such  Net Liquidation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds, Released  Mortgaged Property Proceeds or  partial payment
shall be applied to payment of the related Debt Instrument, first to interest
accrued at the Home Loan Interest Rate and then to principal.

     (b)  On any  Payment Date, any  Allocable Loss Amount shall  be applied,
after giving  effect to all payments  and distributions made on  such Payment
Date,  to the reduction  of the Class  Principal Balances  of the Subordinate
Securities  in accordance  with  the  Allocable Loss  Amount  Priority.   Any
Allocable Loss  Amount allocated to  a Class of  Securities pursuant to  this
Section 5.07(b)  shall be  allocated among  the Securities  of such  Class in
proportion to their respective outstanding principal balances.

                                 ARTICLE VII

                         GENERAL SERVICING PROCEDURES

     Section 7.01.  Assumption Agreements.  When a Mortgaged Property has
                    ---------------------
been or is about  to be conveyed by  the Obligor, the Servicer shall,  to the
extent  it  has knowledge  of  such  conveyance  or  prospective  conveyance,
exercise its rights to accelerate the maturity of the related Home Loan under
any  "due-on-sale"  clause  contained  in   the  related  Mortgage  or   Debt
Instrument; provided, however, that the  Servicer shall not exercise any such
right if the "due-on-sale" clause, in the reasonable belief  of the Servicer,
is  not enforceable under applicable law.  In  such event or in the event the
related Mortgage and  Debt Instrument do not contain  a "due-on-sale" clause,
the Servicer shall  enter into an assumption and  modification agreement with
the  person  to whom  such  property has  been or  is  about to  be conveyed,
pursuant to which such person  becomes liable under the Debt Instrument  and,
unless prohibited  by applicable law or the  Home Loan documents, the Obligor
remains liable  thereon.   The Servicer is  also authorized  to enter  into a
substitution of liability  agreement with such person, pursuant  to which the
original Obligor is released from liability and such person is substituted as
Obligor and becomes  liable under the  Debt Instrument.   The Servicer  shall
notify the Custodian  that any such substitution or  assumption agreement has
been  completed  by  forwarding  to   the  Custodian  the  original  of  such
substitution or  assumption agreement, which  original shall be added  by the
Custodian to the related  Indenture Trustee's Home Loan  File and shall,  for
all purposes, be considered a part of such Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File
to the same extent as all other documents and instruments constituting a part
thereof.  In connection with any assumption or substitution agreement entered
into pursuant to  this Section 7.01, the  Servicer shall not change  the Home
Loan Interest Rate  or the Monthly Payment,  defer or forgive the  payment of
principal or interest, reduce the  outstanding principal amount or extend the
final maturity date on such Home Loan.  Any fee collected by the Servicer for
consenting  to  any  such  conveyance  or  entering  into  an  assumption  or
substitution agreement  shall  be retained  by  or paid  to  the Servicer  as
additional Servicing Compensation.

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

     Section 7.02.  Satisfaction of Mortgages and Release of Home Loan Files.
                    --------------------------------------------------------
Subject to  the provisions of Sections 4.01 and  4.02, the Servicer shall not
grant a satisfaction or release of a Mortgage without having obtained payment
in full of  the indebtedness secured  by the Mortgage or  otherwise prejudice
any right the Securityholders  may have under the mortgage  instruments.  The
Servicer shall maintain the fidelity  bond and errors and omissions insurance
as provided for in Section 4.03 insuring the Servicer against any loss it may
sustain with respect  to any Home Loan  not satisfied in accordance  with the
procedures set forth herein.

     Upon  the  payment in  full of  any  Home Loan,  or the  receipt  by the
Servicer of a notification that  payment in full will be escrowed in a manner
customary  for such  purposes,  the  Servicer  will  immediately  notify  the
Custodian  by an  Officers' Certificate  (which certificate  shall include  a
statement  to  the effect  that all  amounts  received or  to be  received in
connection  with such  payment  which are  required  to be  deposited  in the
Collection  Account pursuant  to Section  5.01(b)  have been  or  will be  so
deposited) of a  Servicing Officer and  shall request delivery  to it of  the
Indenture Trustee's Home Loan  File.  Upon receipt of such  certification and
request and  in accordance with  Section 2.9 of the  Indenture, the Custodian
shall promptly release the related Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File to  the
Servicer.     Expenses  incurred  in   connection  with  any   instrument  of
satisfaction or deed  of reconveyance shall be  payable only from and  to the
extent  of  Servicing  Compensation  and  shall  not  be  chargeable  to  the
Collection Account, the Note Payment Account, or the Certificate Distribution
Account.   Upon receipt by the Custodian of  the certification of a Servicing
Officer with respect to the release of the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File
for  any Home  Loan or  any documents  included therein, the  Custodian shall
release to  the Servicer such  Indenture Trustee's  Home Loan File  and shall
deliver such instruments of transfer presented to it by the Servicer as shall
be necessary or appropriate for the release of such  Indenture Trustee's Home
Loan File  in accordance  with such certification  of the  Servicing Officer.
The release to the Servicer of an Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File pursuant
to such certification shall not require  or be subject to the prior  approval
of the Indenture  Trustee in the  case of  a release in  connection with  the
following: (1) the satisfaction or release of  a Mortgage upon the payment in
full of the Home Loan or upon such Home Loan becoming a Liquidated Home Loan;
(2) a  Home Loan in  default for which  the Servicer is  or will be  pursuing
foreclosure or  another method  of liquidation  pursuant to Section 4.02;  or
(3) the correction of documentation in the Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File
for errors and ambiguities, provided that such corrections shall be performed
and returned to the  Custodian in a prompt manner, and  provided further that
no more than  100 Indenture Trustee's Home  Loan Files shall be  released and
held by  the Servicer  at any one  time.   In the  case of  a release of  the
related Indenture Trustee's Home Loan File to the Servicer in connection with
a substitution  or repurchase of  any Home  Loan pursuant to  Section 3.05 or
Section 11.02  or a release for other servicing  reasons, such release of the
Indenture Trustee's Home Loan  File by the Custodian shall be  subject to the
prior approval of the Indenture Trustee.

     The  Indenture Trustee  shall execute  and deliver  to the  Servicer any
court pleadings, requests for trustee's  sale or other documents necessary to
the foreclosure or trustee's sale in respect  of a  Mortgaged Property or  
to any  legal action brought  to obtain judgment against any Obligor on 
the Debt Instrument or Mortgage or  to obtain a deficiency judgment, 
or to enforce any other remedies or rights provided by the Debt 
Instrument or Mortgage or  otherwise available at law or in  equity.
Together with such documents or pleadings, the Servicer shall deliver  to the
Indenture Trustee a  certificate of a Servicing Officer  requesting that such
pleadings or documents be executed by the Indenture Trustee and certifying as
to the reason such documents or pleadings are required and that the execution
and  delivery  thereof  by  the  Indenture Trustee  will  not  invalidate  or
otherwise affect the lien of the Mortgage, except for the termination of such
a lien  upon completion of the foreclosure or  trustee's sale.  The Indenture
Trustee shall,  upon receipt of a  written request from  a Servicing Officer,
execute any document  provided to  the Indenture Trustee  by the Servicer  or
take any other  action requested in such  request that is, in  the opinion of
the Servicer as  evidenced by such  request, required by  any state or  other
jurisdiction  to discharge  the  lien  of a  Mortgage  upon the  satisfaction
thereof and the Indenture Trustee will sign and post, but will  not guarantee
receipt  of, any such documents  to the Servicer, or such  other party as the
Servicer may direct,  within five Business Days, or more  promptly if needed,
of the Indenture  Trustee's receipt of such  certificate or documents.   Such
certificate  or  documents   shall  establish  to  the   Indenture  Trustee's
satisfaction that the related Home Loan has been paid in full by or on behalf
of  the Obligor and  that such payment  has been deposited  in the Collection
Account.

     Subject to any other applicable  terms and conditions of this Agreement,
the Indenture Trustee and Servicer shall be entitled to approve an assignment
in lieu of satisfaction with respect  to any Home Loan, provided the  obligee
with respect  to such Home  Loan following such proposed  assignment provides
the Indenture  Trustee and Servicer  with a "Certification for  Assignment of
Home Loan" in  form and substance satisfactory  to the Indenture Trustee  and
Servicer, providing  the following:   (i) that  the Home  Loan is  secured by
Mortgaged Property located  in a jurisdiction in which  an assignment in lieu
of  satisfaction is  required to  preserve lien  priority, minimize  or avoid
mortgage recording taxes or otherwise comply with or facilitate a refinancing
under  the  laws  of  such  jurisdiction; (ii)  that  the  substance  of  the
assignment is, and  is intended to be,  a refinancing of  such Home Loan  and
that the form of the transaction is solely  to comply with  or facilitate the
transaction under  such local laws;  (iii) that the  Home Loan following  the
proposed assignment will have a rate  of interest not more than 0.25  percent
below or above the rate of interest  on such Home Loan prior to such proposed
assignment; and (iv)  that such assignment is  at the request of  the related
Obligor.  Upon approval of an assignment in lieu of satisfaction with respect
to  any Home Loan, the Servicer shall receive  cash in an amount equal to the
unpaid principal balance  of and accrued interest  on such Home Loan  and the
Servicer shall treat such  amount as a Principal  Prepayment with respect  to
such Home Loan for all purposes hereof.

     Section 7.03.  Servicing Compensation.  As compensation for its services
                    ----------------------
hereunder,  the Servicer  shall be  entitled to  receive from  the Collection
Account, the Servicing  Fee out of which the Servicer shall pay any servicing
fees  owed or  payable to  any  Subservicer and  any custodial  fees  owed or
payable  to the Custodian.  Additional  servicing compensation in the form of
assumption  and other  administrative  fees,  amounts  remitted  pursuant  to
Section 7.01,  prepayment penalties and late payment charges shall be part of
the Servicing  Compensation payable  to the Servicer  hereunder and  shall be
paid either by the Servicer retaining  such additional  servicing 
compensation  prior to  deposit  in the Collection Account  pursuant to 
Section 5.01(b)(1)  or if deposited  into the Collection Account as  
part of the Servicing Compensation  withdrawn from the Note Payment 
Account pursuant to Section 8.2(a) of the Indenture.   

     The  Servicer shall be  required to pay  all expenses incurred  by it in
connection with its servicing activities  hereunder and shall not be entitled
to reimbursement  therefor except as  specifically provided for herein.   The
Servicer also  agrees to  pay (i)  the Owner  Trustee Fee  and the  Indenture
Trustee Fee, and the fees of the Co-Owner Trustee and the Custodian, (ii) all
reasonable costs  and expenses incurred  by the Indenture Trustee,  the Owner
Trustee  or the Seller  in investigating the  Servicer's activities hereunder
when, in the reasonable  opinion of the Indenture Trustee,  the Owner Trustee
or  the Seller,  such investigation  is  warranted on  the  basis of  adverse
information about  the Servicer obtained  from a reasonably  reliable source,
(iii) all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by any successor servicer or
the Indenture Trustee in replacing the Servicer in the event of a default  by
the Servicer in the performance of its duties under the terms  and conditions

obligations under  this Agreement throughout  such quarter, or, if  there has
been a  default in the  fulfillment of  any such obligation,  specifying each
such default  known to such officer and the nature and status thereof and the

with the first  fiscal year ending after  the Closing Date, the  Servicer, at
its expense,  shall furnish to the Seller, the Indenture Trustee, the Issuer,
the  Securityholders and  the Rating  Agencies (i) an  opinion by  a  firm of
independent certified public  accountants on  the financial  position of  the
Servicer at the end of the relevant fiscal year and the results of operations

believe  to be immaterial  and (b) such  other  exceptions as  shall be  set 
forth in  such statement.

withdrawn, as  evidenced by a letter from each  Rating Agency to such effect.
Any  such  assignment to  a  successor  servicer  (other than  the  Indenture
Trustee) shall be effective only  upon delivery to the Indenture  Trustee and
the Issuer of an agreement, duly executed by the Servicer and  such successor
servicer in a  form reasonably satisfactory to the Indenture  Trustee and the
Issuer,  in which such  successor servicer shall assume  the due and punctual
performance of each covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the
Servicer hereunder.

     Section 9.05.  Relationship of Servicer to the Issuer and the Indenture
                    --------------------------------------------------------
Trustee.  The relationship of the Servicer (and of any successor to the
- -------
Servicer as  servicer under this Agreement)  to the Issuer  and the Indenture
Trustee under  this Agreement is intended by the parties hereto to be that of
an independent contractor  and not of a  joint venturer, agent or  partner of
the Issuer or the Indenture Trustee.

     or to  the appointment of or taking possession by a custodian, receiver,
     liquidator,  assignee, trustee, sequestrator, or similar official of the
     Servicer or of  any substantial part of  its property, or the  making by
     the Servicer  of  an assignment  for the  benefit of  creditors, or  the
     Servicer's failure to pay its debts generally as they become due, or the
     taking  of corporate action by  the Servicer in  furtherance of any such
     action; or

            (v)     the Servicer shall admit in writing  its inability to pay
     its debts as  they become due, file a petition to  take advantage of any
     applicable  insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for
     the  benefit of  its creditors,  or voluntarily  suspend payment  of its
     obligations; or

           (vi)     the  Majority  Securityholders (A)  shall  receive notice
     from the Servicer that the Servicer  is no longer able to discharge  its
     duties under this Agreement or  (B) shall determine, in their reasonable
     judgment and  based upon  published reports  (including wire  services),
     which they  reasonably believe in  good faith  to be reliable,  that the
     Servicer

               a)   has  experienced   a  material  adverse  change   in  its
                    business,  assets,  liabilities,   operations,  condition
                    (financial or otherwise) or prospects,

               b)   has defaulted on any of its material obligations, or

               c)   has  ceased to  conduct  its  business  in  the  ordinary
                    course; or

          (vii)     as of  any Determination  Date, the  total Expected  Loan
     Loss  Percentage (as  defined below) exceeds  (1) up to  the fifth (5th)
     anniversary  of   the  February  28,   1998  Cut-Off  Date,   20.5%,  or
     (2) thereafter,  30.75% (where the "Expected Loan Loss Percentage" shall
     be the sum of (A)  the cumulative Net Loan Losses divided by the Assumed
     Pool  Principal Balance, plus (B) 25% of the aggregate Principal Balance
     of  the Home Loans  which are then  more than 30  but less  than 60 days
     delinquent divided by  the Assumed Pool Principal  Balance, plus (C) 50%
     of the aggregate Principal Balance of the Home Loans which are then more
     than 60 but  less than 90  days delinquent divided  by the Assumed  Pool
     Principal Balance, plus (D) 100%  of the aggregate Principal Balance  of
     the Home Loans  which are then more  than 90 days delinquent  divided by
     the Assumed Pool Principal Balance).

     (b)  then, and  in each  and every  such case,  so long as  an Event  of
Default  shall  not have  been  remedied, the  Majority  Securityholders, the
Indenture Trustee or the Issuer by notice in writing to the Servicer and each
Rating Agency may, in addition to whatever rights such Person may have at law
or equity to  damages, including injunctive  relief and specific  performance
terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement
and in and to the Home Loans and the proceeds thereof, as servicer under this
Agreement.   Upon  receipt  by  the Servicer  of  such  written  notice,  all
authority  and power  of  the  Servicer under  this  Agreement, whether  with
respect to the Home Loans or otherwise, shall, subject to Section 10.02, pass
to and be vested  in a successor servicer acceptable to  the Rating Agencies,
or  the Indenture  Trustee if a  successor servicer  cannot be retained  in a
timely   manner,  and  the  successor  servicer,  or  Indenture  Trustee,  as
applicable, is  hereby authorized  and empowered to  execute and  deliver, on
behalf  of  the Servicer,  as  attorney-in-fact  or  otherwise, any  and  all
documents and other instruments and do or cause  to be done all other acts or
things necessary  or appropriate  to effect  the purposes  of such  notice of
termination, including, but  not limited to, the transfer  and endorsement or
assignment of  the Home Loans and related documents.   The Servicer agrees to
cooperate with  the successor  servicer in effecting  the termination  of the
Servicer's  responsibilities   and  rights   hereunder,  including,   without
limitation, the transfer  to the successor servicer for  administration by it
of all amounts which  shall at the time  be credited by the Servicer  to each
Collection Account or thereafter received with respect to the Home Loans.

     Section 10.02.  Indenture Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.  On
                     --------------------------------------------------
and after the date the Servicer receives a notice of termination  pursuant to
Section  10.01, or  the Indenture  Trustee  receives the  resignation of  the
Servicer evidenced  by an opinion  of counsel or accompanied  by the consents
required by Section 9.04, or the Servicer is removed as Servicer  pursuant to
this Article  X, then, subject to  Section 4.08, the  Indenture Trustee, with
the  consent  of the  Majority  Securityholders,  shall appoint  a  successor
Servicer  acceptable to  the  Rating  Agencies to  be  the  successor in  all
respects to the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer under this Agreement and
the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all
the responsibilities, duties  and liabilities relating thereto  placed on the
Servicer  by the  terms and  provisions hereof;  provided, however,  that the
successor Servicer shall  not be liable for any actions of any Servicer prior
to it; provided  further, however,  that if  a successor  Servicer cannot  be
retained in a timely manner, the Indenture Trustee shall act 
as successor Servicer  and shall assume the responsibilities  of the Servicer
hereunder.     In  the   event  that  the   Indenture  Trustee   assumed  the
responsibilities of  Servicer pursuant to  this Section 10.02,  the Indenture
Trustee  will  become  licensed,  qualified  and in  good  standing  in  each
Mortgaged   Property   State  the   laws  of   which  require   licensing  or
qualification, in order to perform  its obligations as Servicer hereunder or,
alternatively, shall  retain an  agent who is  so licensed, qualified  and in
good standing in  any such Mortgaged Property State.   The successor Servicer
shall be  obligated to  make Servicing Advances  hereunder.   As compensation
therefor,  the successor Servicer  appointed pursuant to  this Section 10.02,
shall  be  entitled  to  all  Servicing  Compensation  as  provided  in  this
Agreement.  The Servicer shall not  be entitled to any termination fee if  it
is terminated pursuant to Section 10.01, but shall be entitled to any accrued
and  unpaid Servicing  Fee  to  the date  of  termination.   Any  collections
received  by the prior  Servicer after  its removal  or resignation  shall be
endorsed  by it  to  the  Indenture  Trustee and  remitted  directly  to  the
Indenture Trustee  or, at  the direction  of  the Indenture  Trustee, to  the
successor Servicer.

     The  compensation   of  any  successor   Servicer  (including,   without
limitation, the Indenture  Trustee) so appointed shall be  the Servicing Fee,
together with other Servicing Compensation provided for herein.  In the event
the Indenture  Trustee is  required to  solicit bids to  appoint a  successor
Servicer,  the Indenture Trustee shall solicit,  by public announcement, bids
from  housing and  home finance  institutions,  banks and  mortgage servicing
institutions  meeting the  qualifications  set  forth in  Section 9.04(b)(ii)
above.   Such public announcement  shall specify that the  successor Servicer
shall be  entitled to  the full  amount of  the Servicing  Fee and  Servicing
Compensation provided for herein.  Within  thirty days after any such  public
announcement,  the Indenture  Trustee shall  negotiate and  effect the  sale,
transfer   and  assignment  of  the  servicing  rights  and  responsibilities
hereunder to the qualified party submitting the highest qualifying  bid.  The
Indenture Trustee shall deduct from any sum received by the Indenture Trustee
from the  successor Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment
all costs and expenses  of any public announcement and of  any sale, transfer
and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder and the
amount of any unreimbursed Servicing  Advances made by the Indenture Trustee.
After  such  deductions, the  remainder  of such  sum  shall be  paid  by the
Indenture  Trustee to  the Servicer at  the time  of such sale,  transfer and
assignment to the successor Servicer.

     The Indenture Trustee,  the Issuer, any Custodian, the  Servicer and any
such  successor  Servicer  shall  take  such  action,  consistent  with  this
Agreement,  as shall  be necessary  to  effectuate any  such succession  of a
successor  Servicer.   The Servicer  agrees to  cooperate with  the Indenture
Trustee  and any  successor  Servicer  in effecting  the  termination of  the
Servicer's servicing responsibilities and rights hereunder and shall promptly
provide the Indenture Trustee or  such successor Servicer, as applicable, all
documents and records reasonably requested  by the applicable party to enable
it  to assume  the Servicer's  functions  hereunder and  shall promptly  also
transfer to the Indenture Trustee  or such successor Servicer, as applicable,
all amounts  which  then have  been  or should  have  been deposited  in  the
Collection  Account by  the Servicer  or which  are thereafter  received with
respect to  the Home  Loans.   Neither the  Indenture Trustee  nor any  other
successor Servicer shall be held  liable by reason of any failure to make, or
any delay in making,  any payment hereunder or any portion  thereof caused by
(i) the failure of the prior Servicer to deliver, or any delay in delivering,
cash, documents or records to it, or (ii) restrictions relating to  the prior
Servicer imposed  by  any regulatory  authority  having  jurisdiction over  
the  prior Servicer.    No  appointment  of  a successor  Servicer  hereunder
shall  be effective until written  notice of such proposed appointment  shall
have been provided by the Indenture Trustee to each  Securityholder, the 
Issuer and the Seller and, except in the case of the appointment of the 
Indenture Trustee as successor  Servicer (when  no consent  shall  be 
required),  the Seller,  the Majority Securityholders and the Issuer shall 
have consented thereto.

     Pending appointment  of a  successor Servicer  hereunder, the  Indenture
Trustee  shall  act  as  Servicer  hereunder as  hereinabove  provided.    In
connection with such  appointment and assumption,  the Indenture Trustee  may
make  such arrangements for the compensation of such successor Servicer as it
and  such successor  Servicer shall  agree; provided,  however, that  no such
compensation shall be in excess of the  Servicing Compensation in the form of
assumption  fees, late  payment  charges  or otherwise  as  provided in  this
Agreement. 

     Section 10.03.  Waiver of Defaults.  The Majority Securityholders may,
                     ------------------
on behalf of all Securityholders, waive  any events permitting removal of the
Servicer as servicer pursuant to this Article X,  provided, however, that the
Majority Securityholders may not waive a default in making a required payment
or distribution on a Security or Residual Interest without the consent of the
related Securityholder or  holders of the Residual Interest.  Upon any waiver
of  a past  default, such  default  shall cease  to exist,  and any  Event of
Default arising therefrom  shall be deemed  to have  been remedied for  every
purpose of this Agreement.  No such waiver shall  extend to any subsequent or
other  default or impair  any right consequent  thereto except to  the extent
expressly so waived.

     Section 10.04.  Accounting Upon Termination of Servicer.  Upon
                     ---------------------------------------
termination of the Servicer under this Article X, the Servicer shall,  at its
own expense:

     (a)  deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed,
to the Indenture Trustee, the funds in any Collection Account;

     (b)  deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed,
to  the  Indenture  Trustee,  all  of the  Servicer's  files,  documents  and
statements  relating to the Home  Loans held by it hereunder  and a Home Loan
portfolio computer tape;

     (c)  deliver to its successor or, if none shall yet have been appointed,
to  the  Indenture  Trustee,  the  Issuer  and  the  Securityholders  a  full
accounting of all  funds, including a statement showing  the Monthly Payments
collected by it and a statement of monies held in trust by it for payments or
charges with respect to the Home Loans; and

     (d)  execute  and  deliver   such  instruments  and  perform   all  acts
reasonably requested in order to effect the orderly and efficient transfer of
servicing  of  the  Home  Loans  to  its  successor and  to  more  fully  and
definitively   vest   in   such  successor   all   rights,   powers,  duties,
responsibilities,  obligations and  liabilities of  the  Servicer under  this
Agreement.

     (b)  The  Seller may,  at  its  option, effect  an  early redemption  or
termination of the Securities on or after  any Payment Date on which the Pool
Principal  Balance declines  to 10%  or less  of the  Assumed  Pool Principal
Balance  as  of the  Closing  Date.    The  Seller shall  effect  such  early

The  amount  so  deposited and  any  other  amounts then  on  deposit  in the

Period,  and amounts  so transferred  shall  be applied  pursuant to  Section
5.01(d).

of 100% of each  Class of Securities affected thereby, (ii)  adversely affect
in  any  material  respect the  interests  of  the holders  of  any  Class of
Securities in any  manner other than as described in (i), without the consent
of  the holders  of 100%  of such  Class of  Securities, or (iii)  reduce the
percentage of any Class  of Securities, the holders of which  are required to

this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof.

     (d)  Prior  to the  execution of  any amendment  to this  Agreement, the
Issuer shall  be entitled  to receive  and rely  upon an  opinion of  counsel
stating that  the execution of such  amendment is authorized or  permitted by
