            Floating Rate Junior Subordinated Debt Security due 2032

                                       of

                         HAWTHORNE FINANCIAL CORPORATION

      Hawthorne Financial Corporation, a savings and loan holding company
incorporated in Delaware (the "Company"), for value received promises to pay to
Wilmington Trust Company, not in its individual capacity but solely as
Institutional Trustee for HFC Capital Trust III, a Delaware statutory business
trust (the "Holder"), or registered assigns, the principal sum of Twenty Two
Million Six Hundred Eighty One Thousand Dollars ($22,681,000) on April 22, 2032,
and to pay interest on said principal sum from April 10, 2002, or from the most
recent interest payment date (each such date, an "Interest Payment Date") to
which interest has been paid or duly provided for, semi-annually (subject to
deferral as set forth herein) in arrears on April 22 and October 22 of each year
commencing October 22, 2002, at a variable per annum rate equal to LIBOR (as
defined in the Indenture) plus 3.70% (the "Interest Rate") (provided, that the
applicable Interest Rate may not exceed 11.00% through the Interest Payment Date
in April, 2007) until the principal hereof shall have become due and payable,
and on any overdue principal and (without duplication and to the extent that
payment of such interest is enforceable under applicable law) on any overdue
installment of interest at an annual rate equal to the Interest Rate in effect
for each such Extension Period compounded semi-annually. The amount of interest
payable on any Interest Payment Date shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year and the actual number of days elapsed in the relevant interest period. In
the event that any date on which the principal or interest is payable on this
Debt Security is not a Business Day, then payment payable on such date will be
made on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day (and without any interest
or other payment in respect of any such delay), except that, if such Business
Day is in the next succeeding calendar year, such payment shall be made on the
immediately preceding Business Day, in each case with the same force and effect
as if made on such date. The interest installment so payable, and punctually
paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the
Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Debt Security (or one or
more Predecessor Securities, as defined in said Indenture) is registered at the
close of business on the regular record date for such interest installment,
except that interest and any Deferred Interest payable on the Maturity Date
shall be paid to the Person to whom principal is paid. Any such interest
installment not punctually paid or duly provided for shall forthwith cease to be
payable to the registered holders on such regular record date and may be paid to
the Person in whose name this Debt Security (or one or more Predecessor Debt
Securities) is registered at the close of business on a special record date to
be fixed by the Trustee for the payment of such defaulted interest, notice
whereof shall be given to the registered holders of the Debt Securities not less
than 10 days prior to such special record date, all as more fully provided in
the Indenture. The principal of and interest on this Debt Security shall be
payable at the office or agency of the Trustee (or other paying agent appointed
by the Company) maintained for that purpose in any coin or currency of the
United States of America that at the time of payment is legal tender for payment
of public and private debts; provided, however, that payment of interest may be
made at the option of the Company by check mailed to the registered holder at
such address as shall appear in the Debt Security Register or by wire transfer
to an account appropriately designated by the holder hereof. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as the holder of this Debt Security is the Institutional
Trustee, the payment of the principal of and



interest on this Debt Security will be made in immediately available funds at
such place and to such account as may be designated by the Trustee.

      So long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Company
shall have the right, from time to time and without causing an Event of Default,
to defer payments of interest on the Debt Securities by extending the interest
payment period on the Debt Securities at any time and from time to time during
the term of the Debt Securities, for up to 10 consecutive semi-annual periods
(each such extended interest payment period, an "Extension Period"), during
which Extension Period no interest shall be due and payable (except any
Additional Interest that may be due and payable). During any Extension Period,
interest will continue to accrue on the Debt Securities, and interest on such
accrued interest (such accrued interest and interest thereon referred to herein
as "Deferred Interest") will accrue, at the Interest Rate, compounded
semi-annually from the date such Deferred Interest would have been payable were
it not for the Extension Period, both to the extent permitted by law. No
Extension Period may end on a date other than an Interest Payment Date. At the
end of any such Extension Period the Company shall pay all Deferred Interest
then accrued and unpaid on the Debt Securities; provided, however, that no
Extension Period may extend beyond the Maturity Date and provided, further,
however, during any such Extension Period, the Company may not (i) declare or
pay any dividends or distributions on, or redeem, purchase, acquire, or make a
liquidation payment with respect to, any of the Company's capital stock or (ii)
make any payment of principal of or interest or premium, if any, on or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities of the Company that rank pari passu in
all respects with or junior in interest to the Debt Securities (other than (a)
repurchases, redemptions or other acquisitions of shares of capital stock of the
Company (A) in connection with any employment contract, benefit plan or other
similar arrangement with or for the benefit of one or more employees, officers,
directors or consultants, (B) in connection with a dividend reinvestment or
stockholder stock purchase plan or (C) in connection with the issuance of
capital stock of the Company (or securities convertible into or exercisable for
such capital stock), as consideration in an acquisition transaction entered into
prior to the applicable Extension Period, (b) as a result of any exchange or
conversion of any class or series of the Company's capital stock (or any capital
stock of a subsidiary of the Company) for any class or series of the Company's
capital stock or of any class or series of the Company's indebtedness for any
class or series of the Company's capital stock, (c) the purchase of fractional
interests in shares of the Company's capital stock pursuant to the conversion or
exchange provisions of such capital stock or the security being converted or
exchanged, (d) any declaration of a dividend in connection with any
stockholder's rights plan, or the issuance of rights, stock or other property
under any stockholder's rights plan, or the redemption or repurchase of rights
pursuant thereto, or (e) any dividend in the form of stock, warrants, options or
other rights where the dividend stock or the stock issuable upon exercise of
such warrants, options or other rights is the same stock as that on which the
dividend is being paid or ranks pari passu with or junior to such stock). Prior
to the termination of any Extension Period, the Company may further extend such
period, provided, that such period together with all such previous and further
consecutive extensions thereof shall not exceed 10 consecutive semi-annual
periods, or extend beyond the Maturity Date. Upon the termination of any
Extension Period and upon the payment of all Deferred Interest, the Company may
commence a new Extension Period, subject to the foregoing requirements. No
interest or Deferred Interest shall be due and payable during an Extension
Period, except at the end thereof, but each installment of interest that would
otherwise have been due and payable during such Extension Period shall bear
Deferred Interest.



The Company must give the Trustee notice of its election to begin such Extension
Period at least one Business Day prior to the earlier of (i) the next succeeding
date on which interest on the Debt Securities would have been payable except for
the election to begin such Extension Period or (ii) the date such interest is
payable, but in any event not later than the related regular record date.

      The indebtedness evidenced by this Debt Security is, to the extent
provided in the Indenture, subordinate and junior in right of payment to the
prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, and this Debt Security is
issued subject to the provisions of the Indenture with respect thereto. Each
holder of this Debt Security, by accepting the same, (a) agrees to and shall be
bound by such provisions, (b) authorizes and directs the Trustee on such
holder's behalf to take such action as may be necessary or appropriate to
acknowledge or effectuate the subordination so provided and (c) appoints the
Trustee such holder's attorney-in-fact for any and all such purposes. Each
holder hereof, by such holder's acceptance hereof, hereby waives all notice of
the acceptance of the subordination provisions contained herein and in the
Indenture by each holder of Senior Indebtedness, whether now outstanding or
hereafter incurred, and waives reliance by each such holder upon said
provisions.

      The Company waives demand, presentment for payment, notice of nonpayment,
notice of protest, and all other notices.

      This Debt Security shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Indenture hereinafter referred to and shall not be valid or become obligatory
for any purpose until the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been
signed by or on behalf of the Trustee.

      The provisions of this Debt Security are continued on the reverse side
hereof and such continued provisions shall for all purposes have the same effect
as though fully set forth at this place.




      IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has duly executed this certificate.

                                       not in its individual capacity but
                                       solely as the Trustee


                                       By:______________________________
                                          Authorized Officer


Dated:  April ____, 2002




      This Debt Security is one of a duly authorized series of Debt Securities
of the Company, all issued or to be issued pursuant to an Indenture (the
"Indenture"), dated as of April 10, 2002, duly executed and delivered between
the Company and Wilmington Trust Company, as Trustee (the "Trustee"), to which
Indenture and all indentures supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a
description of the rights, limitations of rights, obligations, duties and
immunities thereunder of the Trustee, the Company and the holders of the Debt
Securities (referred to herein as the "Debt Securities") of which this Debt
Security is a part. The summary of the terms of this Debt Security contained
herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the
Indenture.

      Upon the occurrence and continuation of a Tax Event, an Investment Company
Event or a Capital Treatment Event, this Debt Security may become due and
payable, in whole but not in part, at any time, within 90 days following the
occurrence of such Tax Event, Investment Company Event or Capital Treatment
Event (the "Special Redemption Date"), as the case may be, at the Special
Redemption Price. The Company shall also have the right to redeem this Debt
Security at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, on any April 22 or
October 22 on or after April 22, 2007 (a "Redemption Date"), at the Redemption
Price.

      Any redemption pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be made, subject
to the receipt by the Company of prior approval from the Office of Thrift
Supervision (the "OTS") if then required under applicable capital guidelines or
policies of the OTS, upon not less than 30 days' nor more than 60 days' notice.
If the Debt Securities are only partially redeemed by the Company, the Debt
Securities will be redeemed pro rata or by lot or by any other method utilized
by the Trustee.

      "Redemption Price" means 100% of the principal amount of the Debt
Securities being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest on such Debt
Securities to the Redemption Date, or, in the case of a redemption due to the
occurrence of a Special Event, to the Special Redemption Date if such Special
Redemption Date is on or after April 22, 2007.

      "Special Redemption Price" means (1) if the Special Redemption Date is
before April 22, 2007, the greater of (a) 100% of the principal amount of the
Debt Securities being redeemed pursuant to Section 10.02 of the Indenture or (b)
as determined by a Quotation Agent, the sum of the present values of the
principal amount payable as part of the Redemption Price with respect to a
redemption as of April 22, 2007, together with the present value of interest
payments calculated at a fixed per annum rate of interest equal to 9.95% over
the Remaining Life of such Debt Securities, discounted to the Special Redemption
Date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day
months) at the Treasury Rate plus 0.50%, plus, in the case of either (a) or (b),
accrued and unpaid interest on such Debt Securities to the Special Redemption
Date and (2) if the Special Redemption Date is on or after April 22, 2007, the
Redemption Price for such Special Redemption Date.

      "Comparable Treasury Issue" means, with respect to any Special Redemption
Date, the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as
having a maturity comparable to the Remaining Life that would be utilized, at
the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in
pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of comparable maturity to the
Remaining Life. If no United States Treasury security has a



maturity which is within a period from three months before to three months after
April 22, 2007, the two most closely corresponding United States Treasury
securities shall be used as the Comparable Treasury Issue, and the Treasury Rate
shall be interpolated or extrapolated on a straight-line basis, rounding to the
nearest month using such securities.

      "Comparable Treasury Price" means (a) the average of five Reference
Treasury Dealer Quotations for such Special Redemption Date, after excluding the
highest and lowest such Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations, or (b) if the
Quotation Agent receives fewer than five such Reference Treasury Dealer
Quotations, the average of all such Quotations.

      "Primary Treasury Dealer" means a primary United States Government
securities dealer in New York City.

      "Quotation Agent" means Salomon Smith Barney Inc. and its successors;
provided, however, that if the foregoing shall cease to be a Primary Treasury
Dealer, the Company shall substitute therefor another Primary Treasury Dealer.

      "Reference Treasury Dealer" means (i) the Quotation Agent and (ii) any
other Primary Treasury Dealer selected by the Trustee after consultation with
the Company.

      "Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations" means, with respect to each
Reference Treasury Dealer and any Special Redemption Date, the average, as
determined by the Quotation Agent, of the bid and asked prices for the
Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed in each case as a percentage of its
principal amount) quoted in writing to the Trustee by such Reference Treasury
Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third Business Day preceding
such Special Redemption Date.

      "Treasury Rate" means (i) the yield, under the heading which represents
the average for the week immediately prior to the date of calculation, appearing
in the most recently published statistical release designated H.15 (519) or any
successor publication which is published weekly by the Federal Reserve and which
establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted
to constant maturity under the caption "Treasury Constant Maturities," for the
maturity corresponding to the Remaining Life (if no maturity is within three
months before or after the Remaining Life, yields for the two published
maturities most closely corresponding to the Remaining Life shall be determined
and the Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on
a straight-line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release
(or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the
calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per annum equal to
the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue,
calculated using a price for the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a
percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for
such Special Redemption Date. The Treasury Rate shall be calculated on the third
Business Day preceding the Special Redemption Date.

      In the event of redemption of this Debt Security in part only, a new Debt
Security or Debt Securities for the unredeemed portion hereof will be issued in
the name of the holder hereof upon the cancellation hereof.



      In case an Event of Default, as defined in the Indenture, shall have
occurred and be continuing, the principal of all of the Debt Securities may be
declared due and payable, and upon such declaration of acceleration shall become
due and payable, in the manner, with the effect and subject to the conditions
provided in the Indenture.

      The Indenture contains provisions permitting the Company and the Trustee,
with the consent of the holders of not less than a majority in aggregate
principal amount of the Debt Securities at the time outstanding affected
thereby, as specified in the Indenture, to execute supplemental indentures for
the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating
any of the provisions of the Indenture or of any supplemental indenture or of
modifying in any manner the rights of the holders of the Debt Securities;
provided, however, that no such supplemental indenture shall, among other
things, without the consent of the holders of each Debt Security then
outstanding and affected thereby (i) extend the fixed maturity of the Debt
Securities, or reduce the principal amount thereof or any redemption premium
thereon, or reduce the rate or extend the time of payment of interest thereon,
or make the principal of, or any interest or premium on, the Debt Securities
payable in any coin or currency other than that provided in the Debt Securities,
or impair or affect the right of any holder of Debt Securities to institute suit
for the payment thereof, or (ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage of Debt
Securities, the holders of which are required to consent to any such
supplemental indenture. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the
holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Debt Securities at
the time outstanding, on behalf of all of the holders of the Debt Securities, to
waive any past default in the performance of any of the covenants contained in
the Indenture, or established pursuant to the Indenture, and its consequences,
except a default in the payment of the principal of or premium, if any, or
interest on any of the Debt Securities. Any such consent or waiver by the
registered holder of this Debt Security (unless revoked as provided in the
Indenture) shall be conclusive and binding upon such holder and upon all future
holders and owners of this Debt Security and of any Debt Security issued in
exchange herefor or in place hereof (whether by registration of transfer or
otherwise), irrespective of whether or not any notation of such consent or
waiver is made upon this Debt Security.

      No reference herein to the Indenture and no provision of this Debt
Security or of the Indenture shall alter or impair the obligation of the
Company, which is absolute and unconditional, to pay the principal of and
premium, if any, and interest on this Debt Security at the time and place and at
the rate and in the money herein prescribed.

      As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations herein and
therein set forth, this Debt Security is transferable by the registered holder
hereof on the Debt Security Register of the Company, upon surrender of this Debt
Security for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Trustee in
Wilmington, Delaware accompanied by a written instrument or instruments of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Company or the Trustee duly executed by the
registered holder hereof or such holder's attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Debt Securities of authorized denominations and
for the same aggregate principal amount will be issued to the designated
transferee or transferees. No service charge will be made for any such
registration of transfer, but the Company may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge payable in relation
thereto.



      Prior to due presentment for registration of transfer of this Debt
Security, the Company, the Trustee, any Authenticating Agent, any paying agent,
any transfer agent and the Debt Security registrar may deem and treat the
registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof (whether or not this Debt
Security shall be overdue and notwithstanding any notice of ownership or writing
hereon) for the purpose of receiving payment of or on account of the principal
hereof and interest due hereon and for all other purposes, and neither the
Company nor the Trustee nor any Authenticating Agent nor any paying agent nor
any transfer agent nor any Debt Security registrar shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.

      No recourse shall be had for the payment of the principal of or the
interest on this Debt Security, or for any claim based hereon, or otherwise in
respect hereof, or based on or in respect of the Indenture, against any
incorporator, stockholder, officer or director, past, present or future, as
such, of the Company or of any predecessor or successor corporation, whether by
virtue of any constitution, statute or rule of law, or by the enforcement of any
assessment or penalty or otherwise, all such liability being, by the acceptance
hereof and as part of the consideration for the issuance hereof, expressly
waived and released.

      The Debt Securities are issuable only in registered certificated form
without coupons. As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations
herein and therein set forth, Debt Securities are exchangeable for a like
aggregate principal amount of Debt Securities of a different authorized
denomination, as requested by the holder surrendering the same.

      All terms used in this Debt Security that are defined in the Indenture
shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

      THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL GOVERN THE INDENTURE AND THE DEBT
SECURITIES, WITHOUT REGARD TO CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.
