This Subsequent Mortgage Loan Conveyance Agreement (this "Agreement"),
dated as of June 30, 1998, is between Aames Capital Corporation (the "Seller")
and Aames Capital Acceptance Corp. (the "Transferor").
On June 30, 1998 (the "Subsequent Transfer Date"), the Seller intends to
convey and the Transferor intends to acquire certain home equity mortgage loans
(the "Subsequent Mortgage Loans") as provided in this Agreement. Upon receipt of
such Subsequent Mortgage Loans, the Transferor will immediately convey the
Subsequent Mortgage Loans to Bankers Trust Company of California, N.A., in its
capacity as trustee (the "Trustee"), under that certain pooling and servicing
agreement, dated as of June 1, 1998, by and among Aames Capital Acceptance
Corp., as Transferor, Aames Capital Corporation, as Servicer, and the Trustee
(the "Pooling and Servicing Agreement"), pursuant to which $625,000,000
aggregate principal amount of Mortgage Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1998-B
(the "Certificates") are being issued.
Reference is hereby made to the Initial Mortgage Loan Conveyance
Agreement, dated as of June 1, 1998 (the "Initial Mortgage Loan Conveyance
Agreement"), between the Seller and the Transferor pursuant to which certain
home equity mortgage loans identified therein (the "Initial Mortgage Loans")
were conveyed by the Seller to the Transferor. Reference is also hereby made to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement pursuant to which the Initial Mortgage Loans
were conveyed by the Transferor to the Trustee. The Transferor has transferred
the Initial Mortgage Loans, together with its rights under the Initial Mortgage
Loan Conveyance Agreement and certain other property, to the Trustee as part of
the Trust Estate for the Certificates.
The Seller and the Transferor are entering into this Agreement for the
purpose of establishing the terms under which the Subsequent Mortgage Loans may
be (i) sold by the Seller to the Transferor, and (ii) conveyed by the Transferor
to the Trustee as part of the Trust Estate in exchange for the Subsequent
Purchase Price and any Subsequent Purchase Price to be paid by the Trustee from
amounts on deposit in the Prefunding Account pursuant to and in accordance with
Section 3.16 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

and to the Trustee (in its capacity as such) full power, authority and right to
complete any or all such assignments and to record the same, and hereby
undertakes to take no action or make any claim inconsistent with any interest
created by such completion or recordation. The parties hereto expressly
acknowledge that such actions by the Seller are not intended to evidence, and
shall not be deemed to evidence, any intent contrary to the express intent of
the parties hereto that the transfer pursuant to this Agreement constitute a
sale from Seller to the Transferor.
(f) The conveyance by the Seller to the Transferor of Subsequent
Mortgage Loans on the Subsequent Transfer Date pursuant to Section 2(a) shall be

and not as a pledge of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans to secure a debt or other
obligation of the Seller or the Transferor, as applicable. The Seller will treat
such transfer as a sale of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans on all relevant books
and records and other applicable documents. However, if, notwithstanding the

amounts payable to the holder of the Subsequent Mortgage 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, including with out limitation all such amounts, other than investment
earnings, from time to time held or invested pursuant to and in accordance with
the provisions of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, as applicable, whether in

assignment of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Transferor to the Trustee as
contemplated by the preamble hereto shall be deemed in each case to be an
assignment of any security interest created hereunder; (iv) the possession by
the Seller or the Trustee or any of their respective agents, including, without
limitation of the Mortgage Notes for the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, and such
other items of property relating to the Subsequent Mortgage Loans as constitute
instruments, money, negotiable documents or chattel paper shall be
6
8
deemed to be "possession by the secured party" for purposes of perfecting the
security interest pursuant to Section 9-305 of the California Uniform Commercial
Code; and (v) notifications to persons (other than the Trustee) 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 secured party for the purpose of perfecting such security interest under
applicable law and (II) the Transferor, then, (a) it is the express intent of
the parties that such conveyance be deemed a pledge of the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans by the Transferor to the Trustee to secure a debt or other obligation of
the Transferor and (b) (i) this Agreement shall also be deemed to be a security
agreement within the meaning of Article 9 of the California Uniform Commercial
Code; (ii) the assignment of the Subsequent Mortgage Loans by the Transferor to
the Trustee as contemplated by the preamble hereto shall be deemed in each case

Loans, and such other items of property relating to the Subsequent Mortgage
Loans 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 of the California
Uniform Commercial Code; and (iv) notifications to persons (other than the
Trustee) 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 secured party for the purpose of
perfecting such security interest under applicable law. The Seller and the
Transferor shall, to the extent consistent with this Agreement, take such
actions as may be necessary to ensure that, if this Agreement were deemed to
create a security interest in the Subsequent Mortgage Loans, such security
interest would be deemed to be a perfected security interest of first priority
under applicable law and will be maintained as such throughout the term of this
Agreement and the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
