                         SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER INSTRUMENT

                  SUBSEQUENT TRANSFER INSTRUMENT

                  Pursuant to this Subsequent Transfer Instrument (the
"Instrument"), dated July 7, 1998, between PacificAmerica Money Center, Inc. as
seller (the "Seller"), and PacificAmerica Home Equity Loan Trust Series 1998-2F
as issuer (the "Issuer"), and pursuant to the Home Equity Loan Purchase
Agreement, dated as of June 22, 1998, among the Seller, the Issuer, Merrill
Lynch Mortgage Investors, Inc. and Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A.
(the "Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement"), the Seller and the Issuer agree to
the sale by the Seller and the purchase by the Issuer of the Mortgage Loans
listed on the attached Subsequent Mortgage Loan Schedule (the "Subsequent
Mortgage Loans").

                  Capitalized terms used and not defined herein have their
respective meanings as set forth in Section 1.1 of the Home Equity Loan Purchase
Agreement, which meanings are incorporated by reference herein. All other
capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings specified herein.

                  Section 1.       CONVEYANCE OF SUBSEQUENT MORTGAGE LOANS.

                  (a) The Seller does hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over
and convey to the Issuer, without recourse, all of its right, title and interest
in and to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and including all principal received
and interest accruing on the Subsequent Mortgage Loans on and after the related
Subsequent Cut-off Date, and all items with respect to the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Home Equity Loan Purchase
Agreement; provided, however, that the Seller reserves and retains all right,
title and interest in and to principal received and interest accruing on the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans prior to the related Subsequent Cut-off Date. The
Seller, contemporaneously with the delivery of this Agreement, has delivered or
caused to be delivered to the Indenture Trustee each item set forth in Section
2.2 of the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement. The transfer to the Issuer by
the Seller of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans identified on the Subsequent
Mortgage Loan Schedule shall be absolute and is intended by the Seller, the
Issuer, the Indenture Trustee and the Noteholders to constitute and to be
treated as a sale by the Seller.

                  The parties hereto intend that the transactions set forth
herein constitute a sale by the Seller to the Issuer on the Subsequent Transfer
Date of all the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Subsequent
Mortgage Loans, and other property as and to the extent described above. In the
event the transactions set forth herein shall be deemed not to be a sale, the
Seller hereby grants to the Issuer as of the Subsequent Transfer Date a security
interest in all of the Seller's right, title and interest in, to and under the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and such other property, to secure all of the
Issuer's obligations hereunder, and this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. The Seller agrees to take or cause to be taken
such actions and


<PAGE>



to execute such documents, including without limitation the filing of all
necessary UCC-1 financing statements filed in the State of Delaware and the
State of California (which shall be submitted for filing as of the Subsequent
Transfer Date), any continuation statements with respect thereto and any
amendments thereto required to reflect a change in the name or corporate
structure of the Seller or the filing of any additional UCC-1 financing
statements due to the change in the principal office of the Seller, as are
necessary to perfect and protect the Issuer's interests in each Subsequent
Mortgage Loan and the proceeds thereof.

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

                  (c) Additional terms of the sale are set forth on Attachment A
hereto.

                  Section 2.  REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES; CONDITIONS 
                              PRECEDENT.

                  (a) The Seller hereby affirms the representations and
warranties set forth in Section 3.1 of the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement
that relate to the Seller or the Subsequent Mortgage Loans as of the date
hereof. The Seller hereby confirms that each of the conditions set forth in
Section 2.3(b) of the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement are satisfied as of
the date hereof and further represents and warrants that each Subsequent
Mortgage Loan complies with the requirements of this Instrument and Section
2.3(c) of the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  (b) The Seller is solvent, is able to pay its debts as they
become due and has capital sufficient to carry on its business and its
obligations hereunder; it will not be rendered insolvent by the execution and
delivery of this Instrument or by the performance of its obligations hereunder
nor is it aware of any pending insolvency; no petition of bankruptcy (or similar
insolvency proceeding) has been filed by or against the Seller prior to the date
hereof;

                  (c) All terms and conditions of the Home Equity Loan Purchase
Agreement are hereby ratified and confirmed; provided, however, that in the
event of any conflict the provisions of this Instrument shall control over the
conflicting provisions of the Home Equity Loan Purchase Agreement.

                  Section 3.       RECORDATION OF INSTRUMENT.

                  To the extent permitted by applicable law, this Instrument, or
a memorandum thereof if permitted under applicable law, is subject to
recordation in all appropriate public offices for real property records in all
of the counties or other comparable jurisdictions in which any or all of the
properties subject to the Mortgages are situated, and in any other appropriate
public recording office or elsewhere, such recordation to be effected by the
Master Servicer at the Noteholders' expense on direction of the Majority
Noteholders or the Note Insurer, but only when


<PAGE>



accompanied by an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such recordation
materially and beneficially affects the interests of the Noteholders or the Note
Insurer or is necessary for the administration or servicing of the Mortgage
Loans.

                  Section 4.       GOVERNING LAW.

                  This Instrument shall be construed in accordance with 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 giving
effect to principles of conflicts of law.

                  Section 5.       COUNTERPARTS.

                  This Instrument may be executed in one or more counterparts
and by the different parties hereto on separate counterparts, each of which,
when so executed, shall be deemed to be an original; such counterparts,
together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.


                  Section 6.       SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.

                  This Instrument shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the Seller and the Issuer and their respective successors and assigns.
