Class R.............................         (6)                       (6)
- -----------------------------------

(1)      The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-1 Certificates for any
         Distribution Date shall be the per annum rate equal to the lesser of
         (i) One-Month LIBOR, as determined (except for the initial Distribution
         Date) on the applicable Floating Rate Determination Date, plus 0.08% or
         (ii) the Weighted Average Net Asset Rate. For the initial Distribution
         Date, the Pass-Through Rate for the Class A-1 Certificates will be
         5.455% per annum.

(2)      The Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-6 Certificates for any
         Distribution Date shall be equal to the lesser of (i) 7.450% per annum
         or (ii) the Weighted Average Net Asset Rate.

         The Certificates evidence, in the aggregate, the entire beneficial
ownership interest in OMI Trust 1997-A (the "Trust"), which consists primarily
of a pool of Assets transferred to the Trust by the Registrant pursuant to the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Assets

                                       -2-

<PAGE>



were purchased by the Registrant in a privately-negotiated transaction with
Oakwood Acceptance Corporation ("OAC") pursuant to a Sales Agreement, dated as
of February 1, 1997, between the Registrant and OAC. Elections will be made to
treat certain assets owned by the Trust as "real estate mortgage investment
conduits" (each, a "REMIC") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
The Certificates, except for the Class R Certificates, will be designated as the
"regular interests" in one of such REMICs. The Class R Certificates will be
designated as the "residual interests" in each of the REMICs.

         The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4, Class A-5, Class A-6,
Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates are collectively referred to herein as the
"Offered Certificates." The Offered Certificates are senior to the Class X and
Class R Certificates. The Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class
A-5 Certificates are senior to the Class A-6, Class B-1 and Class B-2
Certificates. The Class B-2 Certificates will have the benefit of a limited
guarantee (the "Limited Guarantee") provided by Oakwood Homes Corporation
("Oakwood Homes"), the parent of OAC, of certain collections on the Assets. The
Limited Guarantee will not be available to support other classes of
Certificates.

         The Offered Certificates have been sold by the Registrant to Credit
Suisse First Boston Corporation and Goldman, Sachs & Co. (the "Underwriters")
pursuant to a Terms Agreement, dated as of February 21, 1997, among the
Underwriters, the Registrant and OAC, which incorporates by reference the
Registrant's Underwriting Agreement Standard Provisions, June 1995. The Class X
and Class R Certificates have been transferred to Oakwood Financial Corporation,
a Nevada corporation ("OFC") and an affiliate of the Registrant.

         Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or, if not defined in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the meanings assigned to them in the
Standard Terms.

reference into the Registration Statement, or arise out of or are based upon the
omission or alleged omission to state in such Derived Information 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,

concerning the Mortgage Loans or the Contracts provided by the Company to any
Underwriter in writing or through electronic transmission) and agrees to
reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by it in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to

and, in its capacity as servicer, the "Servicer"), and PNC BANK, NATIONAL
ASSOCIATION, a national banking association, as trustee (the "Trustee"), under
this Agreement and the Standard Terms to Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
November 1995 Edition (the "Standard Terms"), all the provisions of which are
incorporated herein as modified hereby and shall be a part of this Agreement as
if set forth herein in full (this Agreement with the Standard Terms so

not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given them in
the Standard Terms.


                              PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

         The Board of Directors of OMI has duly authorized the formation of the
Trust to issue a Series of Certificates with an aggregate initial principal
amount of $187,107,770, to be known as the Senior/Subordinated Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 1997-A (the "Certificates"). The Certificates consist of 10
Classes that in the aggregate evidence the entire beneficial ownership interest
in the Trust.

         In accordance with Section 10.01 of the Standard Terms, the Trustee
will make an election to treat all of the assets of the Trust as two real estate
mortgage investment conduits (each, a "REMIC" and, individually, the "Pooling
REMIC" and the "Issuing REMIC") for federal income tax purposes. The Pooling
REMIC will consist of the Distribution Account and the Assets listed on the
Asset Schedule attached as Schedule I (as defined below) hereto. The Issuing
REMIC will consist of the eight Subaccounts designated as provided herein, the
Class A-6 Liquidity Account and the Class B-1 Liquidity Account. The "startup
day" of each REMIC for purposes of the REMIC Provisions is the Closing Date.


                                GRANTING CLAUSES

         To provide for the distribution of the principal of and interest on the
Certificates in accordance with their terms, all of the sums distributable under

OMI hereby bargains, sells, conveys, assigns and transfers to the Trustee, in
trust and as provided in this Pooling and Servicing Agreement, without recourse
and for the exclusive benefit of the Holders of the Certificates, all of OMI's
right, title and interest in and to, and any and all benefits accruing to OMI
from, (a) the Contracts listed in Schedule IA hereto and the Mortgage Loans
(together with the Contracts, the "Assets") listed in Schedule IB hereto
(Schedule IA and Schedule IB shall be collectively referred to herein as
"Schedule I"), together with the related Asset Documents, and all payments
thereon and proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the
foregoing, including,


                                      S - 1

without limitation, all rights to receive all principal and interest payments
due on the Assets after the Cut-off Date, including such scheduled payments
received by OMI or OAC on or prior to the Cut-off Date, and Principal
Prepayments, Net Insurance Proceeds, Net Liquidation Proceeds, Repurchase Prices
and other unscheduled collections received on the Assets on and after the Cutoff

and Real Properties granted by the Obligors pursuant to the related Assets; (c)
all funds, other than investment earnings, relating to the Assets on deposit in
the Certificate Account or the Distribution Account for the Certificates and all

properties; (d) the Class A-6 Liquidity Account, the Class B-1 Liquidity Account
and all amounts on deposit in each; (e) any and all rights, privileges and
benefits accruing to OMI under the Sales Agreement with respect to the Assets
(provided that OMI shall retain its rights to indemnification from the Seller
under such Sales Agreement, but also hereby conveys its rights to such
indemnification to the Trustee as its assignee), including the rights and
remedies with respect to the enforcement of any and all representations,
warranties and covenants under such Sales Agreement; and (f) proceeds of all the
foregoing (including, but not by way of limitation, all proceeds of any Standard

to any of the Assets, cash proceeds, accounts, accounts receivable, notes,
drafts, acceptances, chattel paper, checks, deposit accounts, rights to payment
of any and every kind, and other forms of obligations and receivables that at
any time constitute all or part or are included in the proceeds of any of the
foregoing) to make distributions on the Certificates as specified herein (the

         The Trustee acknowledges the foregoing, accepts the trusts hereunder in
accordance with the provisions hereof and the Standard Terms and agrees to

                          Business Day preceding the date upon which notice of
                          any such purchase is furnished to Certificateholders
                          pursuant to Section 9.01(c) hereof), plus all
                          previously unreimbursed P&I Advances made with respect
                          to the Assets.

         (b) Section 2.03 of the Standard Terms is hereby amended by the
addition of the following Section 2.03(d) thereto:

                  (d) RECORDATION AND/OR DELIVERY OF OPINIONS IN CERTAIN
         CIRCUMSTANCES. Notwithstanding any provision in these Standard Terms to
         the contrary, Assignments of Mortgages from the Seller to the Trustee
         shall not be required to be recorded except to the extent required
         pursuant to this Section 2.03(d) and no Recordation Report with respect
         to such Assignments of Mortgage shall be required to be delivered
         pursuant to Section 2.03(c)(4) hereof. The definition of "Mortgage Loan
         Documents" shall be deemed to be amended to take into account this
         Section 2.03(d). (A) If, at any time more than 10% of the Pool
         Scheduled Principal Balance is comprised of Mortgage Loans, Seller
         shall promptly, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following
         such event, either record Assignments of Mortgages or obtain one or
         more Opinions of Counsel to the effect that recording is not required
         to protect the Trustee's right, title and interest in and to such
         Mortgage Loans (or, in case a court should recharacterize the sale of
         the Mortgage Loans as a financing, to perfect a first priority security
         interest in favor of the Trustee in the related Mortgage Loan), in
         either case with respect to a sufficient quantity of Mortgage Loans so
         that less than 10% of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is comprised
         of Mortgage Loans with unrecorded Assignments or as to which there
         exists no Opinion of Counsel.

                  (B) If, at any time the credit rating assigned to Oakwood
         Homes Corporation, a North Carolina corporation, by Standard & Poor's
         Rating Services, a division of the McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., is
         reduced to less than "BBB-", Seller shall either record Assignments of
         Mortgages with respect each Mortgage Loan; or obtain one or more
         Opinions of Counsel with respect to each Mortgage Loan to the effect
         that recording is not required to protect the Trustee's right, title
         and interest in and to such Mortgage Loans (or, in case a court should
         recharacterize the sale of the Mortgage Loans as a financing, to
         perfect a first priority security interest in favor of the Trustee in
         the related Mortgage Loan).

                  (C) In the event that, subsequent to the receipt of an Opinion
         of Counsel as provided in Section 2.03(d)(A) or (B), the Servicer is
         advised that recording is required to protect the right, title and
         interest of the Trustee in and to any Mortgage Loan for


                                     S - 28

<PAGE>



         which recordation of an Assignment of Mortgage was not previously
         required, the Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, and the
         Trustee shall within five Business Days of its receipt of such notice
         deliver each previously unrecorded Assignment of Mortgage to the
         Servicer for recordation.

         (c) Section 5.02 of the Standard Terms is hereby amended by deleting
the words "be equal to" and replacing it with the words "not be less than" on
the fourth line of the first paragraph thereof.

         (d) Section 5.07 of the Standard Terms is hereby amended by deleting
the first sentence thereof in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

         If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee or the
         Certificate Registrar, or the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar
         receive evidence to their satisfaction of the destruction, loss or
         theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the Trustee and
         the Certificate Registrar such security or indemnity as may be required
         by them to save each of them harmless (the unsecured agreement of an
         Institutional Holder being sufficient for such purpose), then, in the
         absence of notice to the Trustee or the Certificate Registrar that such
         Certificate has been acquired by a BONA FIDE purchaser, the Trustee
         shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
         mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of
         the same Class, tenor and denomination or Percentage Interest.

         (e) Section 11.04 of the Standard Terms is hereby amended by deleting
the addresses and telecopier numbers of OMI and OAC and substituting as the
address for each 7800 McCloud Road, Greensboro, NC 27425-7081 and as the
telecopier number for each (910) 664-3224.

SECTION 11.       REMIC ADMINISTRATION.

         (a) For purposes of the REMIC Provisions, all of the Certificates
(except the Residual Certificates) will be designated as the "regular interests"
in the Issuing REMIC, the eight Subaccounts will be designated as the "regular
interests" in the Pooling REMIC, the Class R Certificates will be designated as
the "residual interest" in each of the Issuing REMIC and the Pooling REMIC and,
following the division of the Class R Certificates into two separately
transferable, certificated and fully registered certificates in accordance with
Section 11(b) below, the Class R-1 Certificates will be designated as the
"residual interest" in the Issuing REMIC and the Class R-2 Certificates will be
designated as the "residual interest" in the Pooling REMIC.

         (b) Upon the request of any registered Holder of a Class R Certificate,
the Trustee shall issue to such Holder two separately transferable, certificated
and fully registered Certificates (a Class R-1 Certificate and a Class R-2
Certificate), in substantially the forms of Exhibit R-1 and Exhibit R-2 attached
hereto. In the event that the Class R Certificates are exchanged for separately
transferrable Class R-1 and Class R-2 Certificates: (1) the Class R-1
Certificates will be designated as the residual interest in the Issuing REMIC,
(2) the Class R-2 Certificates will be designated as the residual interest in
the Pooling REMIC, (3) the Holders


                                     S - 29

<PAGE>



of a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Class R-1 Certificates together
with the Holders of a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Class R-2
Certificates will have the option to make a Terminating Purchase given to the
Holders of a majority of the Percentage Interest in the Residual Certificates
pursuant to Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms, and (4) the restrictions on the
transfer of a Residual Certificate provided in the Standard Terms will apply to
both the Class R-1 and the Class R-2 Certificates.



SECTION 12.       AUCTION CALL.

         (a) If neither the Servicer nor the Residual Majority exercises its
optional termination right as described in Section 9.01 of the Standard Terms
within 90 days after it first becomes entitled to do so, the Trustee shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to solicit bids for the purchase of all Assets,
REO Properties and Repo Properties remaining in the Trust from no fewer than two
prospective purchasers that it believes to be Qualified Bidders. If OAC is then
the Servicer of the Assets, the solicitation of bids shall be conditioned upon
the continuation of OAC as the servicer of the Assets on terms and conditions
substantially similar to those in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except
that it shall not be required to pay compensating interest or make Advances.

         (b) If the Trustee receives bids from at least two Qualified Bidders
and the net proceeds of the highest bid are equal to or greater than the
Termination Price, the Trustee shall promptly advise the Servicer of the highest
bid and the terms of purchase, and the Servicer shall have three Business Days,
at its option, to match the terms of such bid. The Trustee shall thereafter sell
the Assets, REO Properties and Repo Properties either (i) to the Servicer, if it
shall so elect, or (ii) to the highest bidder, and in either case the Trustee
shall distribute the net proceeds of such sale in redemption of the Certificates
in compliance with Article IX of the Standard Terms and Section 5 hereof. Any
such sale must also comply with the requirements applicable to a Terminating
Purchase set forth in Section 9.02 of the Standard Terms.

         (c) Any costs incurred by the Trustee in connection with such sale
(including without limitation any legal opinions or consents required by Section
9.02 of the Standard Terms) shall be deducted from the bid price of the Assets,
REO Properties and Repo Properties in determining the net proceeds therefrom.

         (d) If the Trustee does not obtain bids from at least two Qualified
Bidders, or does not receive a bid such that the net proceeds therefrom would at
least equal the Termination Price, it shall not sell the Assets, REO Properties
and Repo Properties, and shall thereafter have no obligation to attempt to sell
same.

         (e) The Servicer shall cooperate with and provide necessary information
to the Trustee in connection with any auction sale as described herein.

SECTION 13.       VOTING RIGHTS.

         The Voting Rights applicable to the Certificates shall be allocated
0.5% to the Class R Certificates, 0.5% to the Class X Certificates and 99% to
the other Certificates in proportion with their respective Certificate Principal
Balance.

SECTION 14.       DETERMINATION OF ONE-MONTH LIBOR.

         (a) The Class A-1 Certificates will be entitled to receive on each
Distribution Date interest distributions at the Pass-Through Rate for such Class
as specified in Section 3 hereof.

         (b) With respect to the Class A-1 Certificates, One-Month LIBOR shall
be determined as follows:

                  On each Floating Rate Determination Date, the Servicer will
         determine the arithmetic mean of the London Interbank Offered Rate
         ("LIBOR") quotations for one-month Eurodollar deposits ("One-Month
         LIBOR") for the succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Class A-1
         Certificates on the basis of the Reference Banks' offered LIBOR
         quotations provided to the Servicer as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on
         such Floating Rate Determination Date. As used herein with respect to a
         Floating Rate Determination Date, "Reference Banks" means four leading
         banks engaged in transactions in Eurodollar deposits in the
         international Eurocurrency market (i) with an established place of
         business in London, (ii) whose quotations appear on the Bloomberg
         Screen US0001M Index Page on the Floating Rate Determination Date in
         question and (iii) which have been designated as such by the Servicer
         and are able and willing to provide such quotations to the Servicer on
         each Floating Rate Determination Date; and "Bloomberg Screen US0001M
         Index Page" means the display designated as page "US0001M on the
         Bloomberg Financial Markets Commodities News (or such other pages as
         may replace such page on that service for the purpose of displaying
         LIBOR quotations of major banks). If any Reference Bank should be
         removed from the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page or in any other
         way fails to meet the qualifications of a Reference Bank, the Servicer
         may, in its sole discretion, designate an alternative Reference Bank.

                  On each Floating Rate Determination Date, One-Month LIBOR for
         the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period for the Class A-1
         Certificates will be established by the Servicer as follows:

                  (i) If, on any Floating Rate Determination Date, two or more
         of the Reference Banks provide offered One-Month LIBOR quotations on
         the Bloomberg Screen US0001M Index Page, One-Month LIBOR for the next
         Accrual Period for the Class A-1 Certificates will be the arithmetic
         mean of such offered quotations (rounding such arithmetic mean if
         necessary to the nearest five decimal places).

                  (ii) If, on any Floating Rate Determination Date, only one or
         none of the Reference Banks provides such offered One-Month LIBOR
         quotations for the next


                                     S - 31

<PAGE>



         applicable Interest Accrual Period, One-Month LIBOR for the next
         Accrual Period for the Class A-1 Certificates will be the higher of (x)
         One-Month LIBOR as determined on the previous Floating Rate
         Determination Date and (y) the Reserve Interest Rate. The "Reserve
         Interest Rate" will be the rate per annum that the Servicer determines
         to be either (A) the arithmetic mean (rounding such arithmetic mean if
         necessary to the nearest five decimal places) of the one-month
         Eurodollar lending rate that New York City banks selected by the
         Servicer are quoting, on the relevant Floating Rate Determination Date,
         to the principal London offices of at least two leading banks in the
         London interbank market or (B) in the event that the Servicer can
         determine no such arithmetic mean, the lowest one-month Eurodollar
         lending rate that the New York City banks selected by the Servicer are
         quoting on such Floating Rate Determination Date to leading European
         banks.

                  (iii) If, on any Floating Rate Determination Date, the
         Servicer is required but is unable to determine the Reserve Interest
         Rate in the manner provided in paragraph (ii) above, One-Month LIBOR
         for the next applicable Interest Accrual Period will be One-Month LIBOR
         as determined on the previous Floating Rate Determination Date.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, One-Month LIBOR for an Interest Accrual
Period shall not be based on One-Month LIBOR for the previous Interest Accrual
Period on the Class A-1 Certificates for two consecutive Floating Rate
Determination Dates. If, under the priorities described above, One-Month LIBOR
for an Interest Accrual Period on the Class A-1 Certificates would be based on
One-Month LIBOR for the previous Floating Rate Determination Date for the second
consecutive Floating Rate Determination Date, the Servicer shall select an
alternative index (over which the Servicer has no control) used for determining
one-month Eurodollar lending rates that is calculated and published (or
otherwise made available) by an independent third party.

         The establishment of One-Month LIBOR (or an alternative index) by the
Servicer and the Servicer's subsequent calculation of the Pass-Through Rate on
the Class A-1 Certificates for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, in the
absence of manifest error, will be final and binding.

SECTION 15.       GOVERNING LAW.

         The Pooling and Servicing Agreement shall be construed in accordance
with and governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina applicable to
agreements made and to be performed therein. The parties hereto agree to submit
to the personal jurisdiction of all federal and state courts sitting in the
State of North Carolina and hereby irrevocably waive any objection to such
jurisdiction. In addition, the parties hereto hereby irrevocably waive any
objection that they may have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any federal or state
court sitting in the State of North Carolina, and further irrevocably waive any
claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has
been brought in an inconvenient forum.

         This Pooling and Servicing Agreement may be executed in any number of

all of such counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same
instrument.

among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and fully
supersedes any prior or contemporaneous agreements relating to such subject
matter.

                                LIMITED GUARANTEE



         THIS LIMITED GUARANTEE (this "Limited Guarantee"), dated as of February
1, 1997, is made and entered into upon the terms hereinafter set forth, by
OAKWOOD HOMES CORPORATION, a North Carolina corporation (the "Guarantor"), for
the benefit of PNC Bank, National Association, a national banking association,
as trustee (the "Trustee") of OMI Trust 1997-A (the "Trust").

RECITALS:

         a. The Trust was formed pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
dated as of February 1, 1997, by and among Oakwood Mortgage Investors, Inc. (the
"Company"), Oakwood Acceptance Corporation (the "Servicer") and the Trustee,
which incorporates by reference the Company's Standard Terms to Pooling and
Servicing Agreement (November 1995 Edition) (together, the "Pooling and
Servicing Agreement"). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein
shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.

         b. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Servicer, which is a
wholly- owned subsidiary of the Guarantor.

         c. Under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Trust issued its
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1997-A (the "Certificates"). In connection
with the issuance of the Certificates, the Guarantor has been requested to
provide to the Trustee this Limited Guarantee of certain shortfalls in
collections on the Assets included in the Trust. Because of the substantial
economic benefits accruing to the Guarantor by virtue of the issuance of the
Certificates, the Guarantor desires to make this Limited Guarantee, all on the
following terms and conditions.

AGREEMENTS:

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are
acknowledged by the Guarantor, the Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

         1. The Guarantor hereby unconditionally and absolutely guarantees the
full and prompt payment to the Trustee on or prior to the Remittance Date
relating to each Distribution Date of the Limited Guarantee Payment Amount (as
such term is defined in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement), if any, for such
Distribution Date, provided that the Trustee or the Servicer has notified the
Guarantor in writing (which may be by telecopy confirmed by a telephone call as
described below) of such amount before 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the
Remittance Date preceding the applicable Distribution Date. If the Trustee or
Servicer fails to notify the Guarantor as provided in this paragraph of any
Limited Guarantee Payment Amount (and the amount thereof) for any Distribution
Date before 1:00 p.m. New York City time on the related Remittance Date, but
subsequently so notifies the Guarantor, then the Guarantor shall

deliver such Limited Guarantee Payment Amount to the Trustee in immediately
available funds as soon as practicable after its receipt of such notice. Notices
sent to the Guarantor by telecopy or telephone shall be sent to the attention of
Treasurer (or such other person as may hereafter be prescribed by the Guarantor
to the Trustee in writing) to the telecopy number of (910) 664-3224 (or such
other telecopy number as may be hereafter prescribed by the Guarantor to the
Trustee and Servicer in writing).

         2. The Guarantor guarantees payment of the Limited Guarantee Payment
Amount, if any, to the Trustee pursuant to the terms hereof only, and does not
guarantee the Trustee's obligation to distribute payments made by the Guarantor
in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and the Guarantor shall
not be liable for any failure by the Trustee properly to distribute the amount
of any payments made by the Guarantor hereunder. Although this Limited Guarantee
is for the benefit of the Trustee on behalf of the Holders of the Class B-2
Certificates, this Limited Guarantee may not be enforced directly by the Holders
of the Class B-2 Certificates, but only by the Trustee on their behalf.

         3. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released by
the Trustee's receipt, application or release of any security given for the
payment of any Limited Guarantee Payment Amounts.

         4. The liability of the Guarantor hereunder shall in no way be affected
by (i) the release or discharge of the Trust in any creditors', receivership,
bankruptcy or other proceedings, (ii) the impairment, limitation or modification
of the liability of the Trust or the estate of the Trust in bankruptcy, or of
any remedy for the enforcement of any of the Trustee's obligations under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement resulting from the operation of any present or
future provision of the federal bankruptcy law or any other statute or the
decision of any court, (iii) the rejection or disaffirmance of any instrument,
document or agreement evidencing any of the Trustee's obligations under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement in any such proceedings, (iv) the assignment or
transfer of any of the Trustee's obligations under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement by the Trustee or (v) the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the
liability of the Trustee with respect to the Trustee's obligations under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         5. The Guarantor hereby waives any right to subrogation to the rights
of the Trustee; provided, however, that the Guarantor shall be entitled to be
reimbursed for Limited Guarantee Payment Amounts made under this Limited
Guarantee pursuant to the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

         6. This is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. The liability
of the Guarantor hereunder shall be direct and immediate and not conditional or
contingent upon the occurrence of any event except the occurrence on or before
the applicable Remittance Date of certain shortfalls in the collection of
principal or interest on the Assets giving rise to the existence of a Limited
Guarantee Payment Amount as of the corresponding Distribution Date, as set forth
more particularly in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Guarantor hereby
waives any right to require that an action be brought against any person prior
to discharging its obligations hereunder. The Guarantor also waives all of its
rights, powers and benefits under N.C.G.S.
ss.26-7 through ss.26-9.

         7. This Limited Guarantee is assignable by the Trustee to any successor
trustee under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, and any assignment of the
Trustee's obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any portion
thereof by the Trustee shall operate to vest in the assignee the rights and
powers of the Trustee hereunder to the extent of such assignment. This Limited
Guarantee shall be binding upon the Guarantor and the Guarantor's successors and
assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee, its representatives,
successors, successors-in-title and assigns.

         8. This Limited Guarantee shall be construed in accordance with and
governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina applicable to contracts to
be performed within said state. No amendment or modification hereof shall be
effective unless evidenced by a writing signed by the Guarantor and the Trustee.
When used herein, the singular shall include the plural, and vice versa, and the
use of any gender shall include all other genders, as appropriate.
