The Servicer hereby covenants to the Contract Seller and the Trustee that
no written information, certificate of an officer, statement furnished in
writing or written report delivered to the Contract Seller, any Affiliate of the
Contract Seller or the Trustee and prepared by the Servicer pursuant to this
Agreement will contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state

Section 2.09 Covenants of the Contract Seller.
--------------------------------

name, identity or structure or relocate its chief executive office without first
giving written notice to the Trustee and the Insurer. If any change in the

executive office would make any financing or continuation statement or notice of
lien filed under this Agreement seriously misleading within the meaning of
applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Contract Seller, no
later than five days after the effective date of such change, shall file such
amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the Certificateholders'
interests in the Contracts and proceeds thereof and in the Manufactured Homes
and the Mortgaged Properties.

and delivery hereof. As a condition of the purchase by the Trust Fund, the
Contract Seller represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the Closing Date
(except as otherwise expressly stated):
(a) Payments. As of the Cut-Off Date, no Contract was more than 59

------------------
obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.
(d) No Defenses. The Contract is not subject to any right of
-----------
rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and
the operation of any of the terms of the Contract or the exercise of any right
thereunder will not render the Contract unenforceable in whole or in part or
subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

---------
by a Hazard Insurance Policy in the amount required by Section 4.09. All
premiums due as of the Closing Date on such insurance have been paid in full to
the applicable providers of such insurance.

-----------
Contract was either (i) originated by a manufactured housing dealer acting in
the regular course of its business, and purchased on an individual basis by the

its business.

such Contract from the Contract Seller to the Trust Fund under this Agreement
unlawful.

-------------------
local law, including usury, truth-in-lending and equal credit opportunity laws
and lender licensing laws, applicable to the Contract have been complied with.
(i) Contract in Force. The Contract has not been satisfied or
-----------------
subordinated in whole or in part or rescinded, the Manufactured Home securing
the Contract has not been released from the lien of the Contract in whole or in
part and, in the case of a Land Home Contract, the related Mortgaged Property
has not been released from the related Mortgage.
(j) Valid Security Interest. The Contract, other than any Land Home
-----------------------
Contract, creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable (except as may be limited
by laws affecting creditors' rights generally) first-priority security interest
in favor of GreenPoint as secured lender, or agent thereof, in the Manufactured
Home covered thereby; such security interest has been assigned by the Contract
Seller as secured lender to the Trustee in accordance with the terms herein and;
the Trustee has a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in such
Manufactured Home. Each Mortgage is a valid first lien in favor GreenPoint on
real property securing the amount owed by the Obligor under the related Land
Home Contract subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally in the area wherein the property subject to the
Mortgage is located or specifically reflected in the appraisal obtained in
connection with the origination of the related Land Home and (c) other matters
to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. The
Contract Seller has assigned all of its right, title and interest in such Land
Home Contract and related Mortgage, including the security interest in the
Manufactured Home covered thereby, to the Trustee. The Trustee has and will have

priority security interest in such Land Home Contract.
(k) Capacity of Parties. All parties to the Contract had capacity

----------
possession thereof, without knowledge that the Contract was subject to any
security interest. It has not sold, assigned or pledged the Contract to any
Person other than the Trust Fund, and prior to the transfer of the Contract by
the Contract Seller to the Trust Fund, it had good and marketable title thereto
free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim or
security interest and was the sole owner thereof with full right to transfer the
Contract to the Trust Fund.
(m) No Defaults. As of the Cut-Off Date, there was no default,
-----------
breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existing under the Contract
and to its knowledge, no event which, with notice and the expiration of any
grace or cure period, would constitute such a
-32-
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under such Contract
(except payment delinquencies permitted by clause (a) above). The Contract
Seller has not waived any such default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration.
(n) No Liens. As of the Closing Date, there are, to its knowledge, no
--------
liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the
Manufactured Home or any related Mortgaged Property securing the Contract which
are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
Contract.
(o) Installments. Such Contract provides for monthly payments of
------------
principal and interest which fully amortize the loan over its term, each
Contract that has converted to a fixed rate of interest has a fixed Contract
Rate and each Contract that has not converted to a fixed rate of interest has a
Contract Rate that after an initial period is calculated based upon the Index
plus the Gross Margin. The scheduled monthly payment allocable to interest on
each Contract is calculated on the basis that each scheduled monthly payment is
applied on its Due Date, regardless of when it is actually made.
(p) Enforceability. The Contract contains customary and enforceable
--------------
(except as may be limited by laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by
general principles of equity) provisions such as to render the rights and
remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the
collateral of the benefits of the security.
(q) Contract Schedule. The information set forth in the Contract
-----------------
Schedule is true and correct.
(r) One Original. There is only one original executed Contract.
------------
Such original Contract is in the custody of the Servicer on the Closing Date.
(s) Loan-to-Value Ratio. At the time of its origination, such
-------------------
Contract had a Loan-to-Value Ratio (rounded to the nearest 1%) not greater than
100%.
(t) Not Real Estate. With respect to each Contract other than a Land
---------------
Home Contract, the related Manufactured Home is personal property and is not
considered or classified as part of the real estate on which it is located under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located and was personal property
and was not considered or classified as part of the real estate on which it was
located under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was located at the time
the related Contract was executed by the parties thereto, and with respect to
each Contract including Land Home Contracts the related Manufactured Home is, to
the Contract Seller's knowledge, free of damage (including earthquake or
hurricane damage) and in good repair.
(u) Notation of Security Interest. With respect to each Contract
-----------------------------
other than a Land Home Contract, if the related Manufactured Home is located in
a state in which notation of a security interest on the title document is
required or permitted to perfect such security interest, the title document
shows, or, if a new or replacement title document with respect to such
Manufactured Home is being applied for, such title document will be issued
within 180 days and will show, GreenPoint or BankAmerica Housing Services as the
holder of a first-priority security interest in such Manufactured Home. If the
related Manufactured Home is located in a state in which the filing of a
financing statement or the making of a fixture filing under the UCC is
-33-
required to perfect a security interest in manufactured housing, such filings
have been duly made and show GreenPoint or BankAmerica Housing Services as the
secured party. If the related Manufactured Home secures a Land Home Contract,
such Manufactured Home and the related Mortgaged Property is subject to a
Mortgage properly filed in the appropriate public recording office or such
Mortgage will be properly filed in the appropriate public recording office
within 180 days, naming GreenPoint as mortgagee. In either case, the Trustee has
the same rights as the secured party of record would have (if such secured party
were still the owner of the Contract) against all Persons (including the
Contract Seller and any trustee in bankruptcy of GreenPoint or BankAmerica
Housing Services) claiming an interest in such Manufactured Home. Assuming
consummation of the transactions contemplated herein the Trustee has the same
rights as the secured party of record would have (if such secured party were
still the owner of the Contract) against all Persons claiming an interest in
such Manufactured Home and, if applicable, such Mortgaged Property.
(v) Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act. The related
-----------------------------------------
Manufactured Home is a "manufactured home" within the meaning of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code, Section 5402(6). With respect to the Contracts originated by Bank
of America, FSB, Bank of America, FSB meets the requirements of Section
3(a)(41)(A)(ii) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of the
Cut-Off Date, the Contract Seller was approved for insurance by the Secretary of
Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Section 2 of the National Housing Act.
(w) Qualified Mortgage for REMIC. Each Contract is secured by a
----------------------------
"single family residence" within the meaning of Section 25(e)(10) of the Code.

time the Contract was originated (determined pursuant to the REMIC Provisions)
or (ii) the time the Contract is transferred to the Trust Fund. Each Contract is

Trustee and GreenPoint Credit, LLC) or to any successor Trustee thereunder."
(y) Actuarial/Simple Interest Contracts. Except for $57,813.88 by
-----------------------------------
aggregate principal amount of the Contracts on the Cut-Off Date which are simple
interest Contracts, each Contract is an actuarial manufactured housing
installment loan agreement or a manufactured housing installment sales contract.
(z) Land Home Contracts. No Contract other than a Land Home Contract
-------------------
is secured, or intended to be secured, in whole or in part by the lien of a
mortgage or deed of trust creating a first lien or an estate in fee simple in
the real property.
(aa) Financing of Real Property. No Contract other than a Land Home

the Aggregate.
-------------

of the Trust Fund and are owned by the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms
of the trust created hereunder.
(e) No Adverse Selection. Except to ensure compliance with the
--------------------
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.02 and 3.03, no selection
procedures have been intentionally employed to achieve an adverse effect on the
interests of the Certificateholders, the LOC Provider or the Insurer in
selecting the Contracts.
-35-
Section 3.04 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contracts.
------------------------------------------------------
The Contract Seller represents and warrants that:
(a) Possession. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer
----------
will have possession of each Contract and the related Contract File or Land Home

the Contracts, the Contract Files and the Land Home Contract Files by the

Section 3.05 Repurchases of Contracts or Substitution of Contracts for
---------------------------------------------------------
Breach of Representations and Warranties.
----------------------------------------
(a) The Contract Seller shall either (i) repurchase a Contract sold
by it to the Trust Fund at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or (ii) if the
Contract Seller is able to satisfy the conditions of Section 3.05(b), remove
such Contract from the Trust Fund and substitute therefor an Eligible Substitute
Contract in accordance with and subject to the limitations of Section 3.05(b),
in each case within 90 days after the Contract Seller becomes aware, or receives
written notice from the Servicer or the Trustee, of a breach of a representation
or warranty of the Contract Seller set forth in Section 3.02 or 3.03 of this
Agreement that materially adversely affects the Trust Fund's interest in such
Contract, unless such breach has been cured; provided, however, that with
-------- -------
respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the Contract Schedule with
respect to remaining principal balance, which the Contract Seller would
otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.05, the Contract
Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deposit in the Certificate
Account not later than one Business Day after such Determination Date cash in an
amount sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy; and further provided,
------- --------
that with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the
Contracts in the aggregate and not to any particular Contract, the Contract
Seller may select Contracts to repurchase or substitute for such that, had such
Contracts not been included as part of the Contract Pool and after giving effect
to such substitution, if any, there would have been no breach of such
representation or warranty; and further provided, that in connection with any
------- --------
Contract that the Contract Seller is required to repurchase or substitute due to
a breach of representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.03, the Contract
Seller shall at its own expense deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to
the effect that the repurchase of such Contract will not cause the Trust Fund to
fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time any Certificate is outstanding under then
applicable REMIC Provisions, be deemed a contribution to the Trust Fund after
the Startup Day or cause any "prohibited transaction," in each case, that will
result in the imposition of a tax under the applicable REMIC Provisions. It is
understood and agreed that the obligation of the Contract Seller to repurchase
or substitute for any Contract sold by it as to which a breach of a
representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 or 3.03 of this Agreement
has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole remedy respecting such
breach available to the
-36-
Certificateholders, the Trust Fund or the Trustee; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Contract Seller shall defend and indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate
Administrator, the Trust Fund and the Certificateholders against all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or suffered by any of them as
a result of third-party claims arising out of any breach of a representation or
warranty set forth in Section 3.02(c), (d), (g), (h) or (w) of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the
Contract Seller under this Section 3.05 shall not terminate upon an Event of
Default.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, any
amount received on or recovered with respect to repurchased Contracts or
Replaced Contracts during or after the month of repurchase shall be the property
of the Contract Seller and need not be deposited in the Certificate Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contract Seller shall not deposit cash
into the Certificate Account pursuant to this Section 3.05 after the three-month
period beginning on the Closing Date unless it shall first have obtained an
Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit will not give rise to any tax
under Section 86OF(a) (1) of the Code or Section 86OG(d) of the Code. Any such
deposit shall not be invested.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to this
Section 3.05, other than from moneys provided to it by the Contract Seller or
from moneys held therefor pursuant to Section 4.17. The Trustee shall be deemed
conclusively to have complied with this Section 3.05 if it follows the
directions of the Contract Seller required to be provided in the preceding
paragraph. Upon the repurchase of any Contract by the Contract Seller, the
Trustee shall delete such Contract from the Contract Schedule.
For reasons of administrative convenience in servicing of the Contracts,
notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.05(a), the Contract
Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute for any Contract
relating to a Manufactured Home located in any jurisdiction on account of a
breach of the representation or warranty contained in Section 3.02(j) or (u) of
this Agreement solely on the basis of failure by the Contract Seller to cause
notations to be made on any document of title relating to any such Manufactured
Home or to execute any transfer instrument (including any UCC-3 assignments)
relating to any such Manufactured Home (other than a notation or a transfer
instrument necessary to show the Contract Seller as lienholder or legal title
holder) unless (i) a court of competent jurisdiction has adjudged that, because
of such failure, the Trustee does not have a perfected first-priority security
interest in such related Manufactured Home, or (ii) (A) the Servicer has
received written advice of counsel to the effect that a court of competent
jurisdiction has held that, solely because of a substantially similar failure on
the part of a pledgor or assignor of manufactured housing contracts (who has
perfected the assignment or pledge of such contracts), a perfected first-
priority security interest was not created in favor of the pledgee or assignee
(as the case may be) in a related manufactured home which is located in such
jurisdiction and which is subject to the same laws regarding the perfection of
security interests therein as apply to Manufactured Homes located in such
jurisdiction, and (B) the Servicer shall not have completed all appropriate
remedial action with respect to such Manufactured Home within 90 days after
receipt of such written advice. Any such advice shall be from counsel selected
by the Servicer on a nondiscriminatory basis from
-37-
among the counsel used by the Servicer in its general business in the
jurisdiction in question. The Servicer shall have no obligation on an ongoing
basis to seek any advice with respect to the matters described in clause (ii)
above. However, the Servicer shall seek advice with respect to such matters
whenever information comes to the attention of its general counsel which causes
such general counsel to determine that a holding of the type described in clause
(ii)(A) might exist. If any counsel selected by the Servicer informs the
Servicer that no holding of the type described in clause (ii)(A) exists, such
advice shall be conclusive and binding on the parties with respect to the
applicable date and jurisdiction.
(b) On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, the Contract Seller, at its election, may substitute a Contract
for any Contract that it is otherwise obligated to repurchase pursuant to
Section 3.05(a) (such Contract being referred to as the "Replaced Contract")
upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the Contract to be substituted for the Replaced Contract
is an Eligible Substitute Contract and the Contract Seller delivers an Officer's
Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, to the Trustee certifying
---------
that such Contract is an Eligible Substitute Contract, describing in reasonable
detail how such Contract satisfies the definition of the term "Eligible
Substitute Contract" (as to satisfaction of representations and warranties, such
description shall be that such Contract satisfies such representations and
warranties) and certifying that the Contract File or the Land Home Contract
File, as applicable, for such Contract is in the possession of the Servicer;
(ii) the Contract Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee
evidence of filing with the appropriate office in California of a UCC-1
financing statement executed by the Contract Seller as debtor and naming the
Trustee as secured party and listing such Contract as collateral;
(iii) the Contract Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Contract for
such Replaced Contract will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time any Certificate is outstanding under then applicable REMIC
Provisions, be deemed a contribution to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day or
cause any "prohibited transaction," in each case, that will result in the
imposition of a tax under the applicable REMIC Provisions, and (b) to the effect
that, except as to Contracts that are Land Home Contracts, no filing or other
action other than the filing of financing statements on Form UCC-1 with the
Secretary of State of the State of California, naming the Contract Seller as
debtor and the Trustee as secured party as required by Section 3.05(a) of this
Agreement and the filing of continuation statements as required by Section
2.02(a) is necessary to perfect as against third parties the conveyance of the
substitute Contract by the Contract Seller to the Trustee; and
(iv) if the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced
Contract is greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Contract, the
Contract Seller shall have deposited in the Certificate Account the amount of
such excess (which amount shall be deemed a Principal Prepayment on such
Contract) and shall have included in the Officer's Certificate required by
clause (i) above a certification that such deposit has been made.
-38-
Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Contract
to, and delete such Replaced Contract from, the Contract Schedule (or cause such
addition and deletion to be accomplished). Such substitution shall be effected
prior to the first Determination Date that occurs more than 90 days after the
Contract Seller becomes aware or receives written notice from the Servicer or
the Trustee, of the breach referred to in Section 3.05(a).
(c) Promptly after the repurchase referred to in Section 3.05(a) or
the substitution referred to in Section 3.05(b), the Trustee shall execute such
documents as are presented to it by the Contract Seller and are reasonably
necessary to reconvey the repurchased Contract or Replaced Contract, as the case
may be, to the Contract Seller.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.05 to the contrary, in
the event any Opinion of Counsel referred to in this Section 3.05 indicates that
a repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, of a Contract will result in
the imposition of a tax under the applicable REMIC Provisions with respect to
"prohibited transactions," or deemed a contribution to the REMIC after the
"start-up day," the Contract Seller shall not be required to repurchase or
substitute the Contract to which such Opinion of Counsel relates unless and
until the Servicer has determined there is an actual or imminent default with
respect thereto or that the defect or breach giving rise to the repurchase or
substitution obligation adversely affects the enforceability of such Contract.
Section 3.06 General.
-------
(a) It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties in this Article III hereof shall remain operative and in full force
and effect, shall survive the transfer and conveyance of the Contracts by the
Contract Seller to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee.
(b) Any cause of action against the Contract Seller relating to or
arising out of the breach of any of its representations and warranties made in
this Article III shall accrue as to any Contract upon (i) discovery of such
breach by the Contract Seller or notice thereof by the Trustee or Servicer to
the Contract Seller, (ii) failure by the Contract Seller to cure such breach,
and (iii) demand upon the Contract Seller by the Trustee for all amounts payable
in respect of such Contract under this Agreement.

any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full
release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the
Contracts, with respect to the Manufactured Homes and with respect to the
Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of
attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to
service and administer the Contracts. The relationship of the Servicer (and of
any successor to the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement) to the Trustee
under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an independent
contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent of the Trustee.
Section 4.02 Standard of Care.
----------------
In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the
Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer will, consistent with the
terms of this Agreement and applicable law, act with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar manufactured
housing contracts owned and/or serviced by it, but in no event using a degree of
skill and care that is lower than that used generally in the servicing industry
for such manufactured housing contracts; provided, however, that notwithstanding
-------- -------
the foregoing, the Servicer shall not release or waive the right to collect the
unpaid balance on any Contract except if default or foreclosure on such Contract
has occurred or in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer is imminent and such
waiver or release is in the best interest of the Trust, in the reasonable
judgement of the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to
require the Servicer to take any action or fail to take any action in respect of
a Contract which action or failure violates applicable law.
Section 4.03 Records.
-------
The Servicer, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, shall maintain
such books of account and other records as will enable the Trustee (if the
Trustee so elects in its discretion) to determine the status of each Contract.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall
keep such records in respect of Liquidation Expenses as will enable the Trustee
(if the Trustee so elects in its discretion) to determine that the correct
amount of Net Liquidation Proceeds in respect of a Liquidated Contract has been
deposited in the Certificate Account.
Section 4.04 Inspection.
----------
(a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford
the Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business
hours to the Servicer's records relating to the Contracts and will cause its
personnel to assist in any examination of such records by the Trustee or any of
its authorized agents. The examination referred to in this Section 4.04 will be
conducted in a manner which does not interfere unreasonably with the Servicer's
normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting
the scope of the examination which the Trustee may make, the Trustee or its
authorized agents, using generally accepted audit procedures, may in their
discretion verify the status of each Contract and review the records relating
thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports prepared
-40-
pursuant to Article V and compliance with the standards represented to exist as
to each Contract in this Agreement.
(b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep
available a copy of the Contract Schedule at its principal executive office for
inspection by Certificate Owners.
Section 4.05 Establishment of and Deposits in Certificate Account.
----------------------------------------------------
On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall have established, and
thereafter shall maintain, a Certificate Account, which is an Eligible Account,
in the form of a segregated trust account titled "GreenPoint Manufactured
Housing Contract Trust, Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-5, Certificate
Account in trust for the Trustee as trustee for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders." As of the Closing Date, the Certificate Account shall be a
segregated trust account established at Bank One, National Association and shall
be invested in the One Group Institutional Money Market Fund (as long as such
fund is an Eligible Investment) or other similar Eligible Investment selected by
the Trustee. Eligible Investments shall mature or, in the case of a money market
fund, be redeemed not later than the Business Day immediately preceding the
Distribution Date next following the date of such investment (except that, if
such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the institution that maintains the
Certificate Account, then such Eligible Investments shall mature or, in the case
of a money market fund, be redeemed not later than such Distribution Date), and
shall not be sold or disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible
Investments shall be made in the name of the Trustee, as trustee for the benefit
of the Certificateholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Trustee shall select obligations for the investment of the Certificate Account
from among the investments specified in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of
"Eligible Investments." The Trustee shall select such Eligible Investments,
which shall mature as provided above, in such manner as to achieve the following
objectives in the order stated: (1) preservation of principal values; and (2)
maximization of income.
All net income and gain realized from any such investments, to the extent
provided by this Agreement, shall be added to the Certificate Account.
In the event that the Trustee receives any amounts, as directed by the
Servicer, from the 2000-4 Reserve Account, the Trustee shall deposit such
amounts into the Certificate Account for distribution as part of the Available
Distribution Amount on the next Distribution Date. The Servicer shall cause
amounts from the 2000-4 Reserve Account to be remitted to the Trustee if the
Available Distribution Amount, without taking into account the amount set forth
in clauses (c) and (d) of the definition thereof, is insufficient to pay the
items set forth in Section 5.02(a)(i) and (ii) hereof.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account as promptly as
practicable (but not later than the close of business of the second Business
Day) following receipt thereof:
(a) All amounts received from Obligors with respect to principal of
and interest on the Contracts (including Excess Contract Payments);
(b) All Net Liquidation Proceeds;
-41-
(c) All amounts required to be deposited by the Contract Seller
pursuant to Sections 3.05(a) and (b);
(d) All Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 5.01;
(e) Any proceeds of Hazard Insurance Policies pursuant to Section 4.11
and any amounts in respect of indemnification pursuant to Section 7.03;
(f) All amounts required to be withdrawn from an REO Account and
deposited in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 4.17; and
(g) All Deficiency Amounts.
The Trustee shall cause the (i) Insurer to deposit in the Certificate
Account all Enhancement Payments pursuant to Section 5.08 and (ii) LOC Provider
to deposit in the Certificate Account all Draw Amounts pursuant to Section 5.10.
Section 4.06 Payment of Taxes.
----------------
If the Servicer becomes aware of the nonpayment by an Obligor of a real or
personal property tax or other tax or charge which may result in a lien upon a
Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property prior to, or equal to or coordinate
with, the lien of the related Contract, the Servicer, consistent with Section
4.02, shall take action, including the advancing, but only to the extent that
the Servicer deems, in its sole judgement, such advance recoverable, of such
taxes or charges to avoid the attachment of any such lien. If the Servicer shall
have paid any such real or personal property tax or other tax or charge directly
on behalf of an Obligor, the Servicer may separately add such amount to the
Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but, for the purposes of this
Agreement, may not add such amount to the remaining principal balance of the
Contract. If the Servicer shall have repossessed a Manufactured Home or
Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, the
Servicer shall advance, but only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole
judgment, deems such advance recoverable, the amount of any such tax or charge
arising during the time such Manufactured Home is in the Servicer's possession
or title to the Mortgaged Property is in the name of the Servicer (or any Person
acting on behalf of the Servicer), unless the Servicer is contesting in good
faith such tax or charge or the validity of the claimed lien on such
Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property. If the Obligor does not reimburse the
Servicer for payment of such taxes or charges pursuant to this Section 4.06 and
the related Contract is liquidated after a default, the Servicer shall be
reimbursed for its payment of such taxes or charges out of the related
Liquidation Proceeds. If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for any such premiums, the amount of such insufficiency shall
constitute, and be reimbursable to the Servicer as, a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 4.07 Enforcement.
-----------
(a) The Servicer, consistent with Section 4.02, shall act with
respect to the Contracts in such manner as will maximize the receipt of
principal and interest on such Contracts.
-42-
(b) The Servicer shall ▇▇▇ to enforce or collect upon Contracts and,
where permitted by applicable law, may, in its sole judgment, ▇▇▇ to collect any
Deficiency at its own expense, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the
Trustee in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust Fund. If the
Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Contract, the act of
commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Contract to
the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement
suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Contract
on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to
enforce the Contract, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders shall, at
the Servicer's expense, take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to
enforce the Contract, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the
Certificateholders. If there has been a recovery of attorneys' fees in favor of
the Servicer or the Trust Fund in an action involving the enforcement of a
Contract, the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of such recovery for its out-of-
pocket attorney's fees and expenses incurred in such enforcement action.
(c) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with Section 4.02.
In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is authorized on the Trustee's
behalf to reassign the Contract or to resell the related Manufactured Home and,
if applicable, the Mortgaged Property, to the Person against whom recourse
exists at the price set forth in the document creating the recourse.
(d) The Servicer may grant to the Obligor on any Contract any rebate,
refund or adjustment out of the Certificate Account that is required because of
an overpayment in connection with the partial prepayment or prepayment in full
of the Contract or otherwise. The Servicer may rescind, cancel or make material
modifications of the terms of any Contract (including modifying the amounts and
due dates of scheduled monthly payments); provided that, unless required by
applicable law or to bring Contracts into conformity with the representations
and warranties contained in Article III, the Servicer will not permit any
rescission or cancellation of any Contract or any material modification of a
Contract other than in connection with a default or an imminent default on such
Contract unless the Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such modification will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of taxes on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may, without an Opinion of Counsel,
make a one-time modification to the Contract Rate with respect to any Contract
by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of such Contract Rate and (ii) 0.50%
provided, however, that the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Contracts so modified shall in no event exceed 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool
Principal Balance.
Section 4.08 Transfer of Certificate Account.
-------------------------------
The Trustee may transfer the Certificate Account to a different depository
institution from time to time, so long as the Certificate Account remains an
Eligible Account. The Trustee shall give notice of any transfer of the
Certificate Account to each Rating Agency prior to such transfer.
-43-
Section 4.09 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance Policies.
----------------------------------------
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section
4.09, the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Contract
one or more Hazard Insurance Policies which provide, at a minimum, the same
coverage as a standard form fire and extended coverage insurance policy that is
customary for manufactured housing, issued by a company authorized to issue such
policies in the state in which the Manufactured Home is located, and in an
amount which is not less than the maximum insurable value of such Manufactured
Home or the principal balance of the related Contract, whichever is less;
provided that such Hazard Insurance Policies may provide for customary
--------
deductible amounts, and further provided that the amount of coverage provided by
----------------
each Hazard Insurance Policy shall be sufficient to avoid the application of any
co-insurance clause contained therein. If a Manufactured Home is located within
a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer shall, to the
extent required by applicable law or regulation, also cause flood insurance to
be maintained, which coverage shall be at least equal to the minimum amount
specified in the preceding sentence or such lesser amount as may be available
under the federal flood insurance program. Each Hazard Insurance Policy caused
to be maintained by the Servicer shall contain a standard loss payee clause in
favor of the Servicer and its successors and assigns. If any Obligor is in
default in the payment of premiums on its Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies,
the Servicer shall advance such premiums out of its own funds (but only to the
extent that it deems, in its sole judgment, that such advances are recoverable),
and may add separately such premium to the Obligor's obligation as provided by
the Contract, but may not add such premium to the remaining principal balance of
the Contract for purposes of this Agreement. If the Obligor does not reimburse
the Servicer for payment of such premiums and the related Contract is liquidated
after a default, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for its payment of such
premiums out of the related Liquidation Proceeds.
(b) The Servicer may, in lieu of causing individual Hazard Insurance
Policies to be maintained with respect to each Manufactured Home pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section 4.09, and shall, to the extent that the related
Contract does not require the Obligor to maintain a Hazard Insurance Policy with
respect to the related Manufactured Home, maintain one or more blanket insurance
policies covering losses as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 4.09
resulting from the absence or insufficiency of individual Hazard Insurance
Policies. Any such blanket policy shall be substantially in the form that is the
industry standard for blanket insurance policies issued to cover Manufactured
Homes and in the amount sufficient to cover all losses on the Contracts. The
Servicer shall pay, out of its own funds, the premium for such policy on the
basis described therein and shall deposit in the Certificate Account, on the
Business Day next preceding the Determination Date following the Collection
Period in which the insurance proceeds from claims in respect of any Contracts
under such blanket policy are or should have been received, the deductible
amount with respect to such claims. The Servicer shall not, however, be required
to deposit any deductible amount with respect to claims under individual Hazard
Insurance Policies maintained pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.09.
(c) If the Servicer shall have repossessed a Manufactured Home on
behalf of the Trustee, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain at its expense,
but only to the extent that it deems, in its sole judgment, such expense
recoverable, a Hazard Insurance Policy with respect to such Manufactured Home,
except that the Servicer shall be responsible for depositing any
-44-
deductible amount with respect to all claims under individual Hazard Insurance
Policies, or (ii) indemnify, to the extent that the Servicer should have
maintained such Hazard Insurance Policy pursuant to subclause (i) of this clause
(c), the Trust Fund against any damage to such Manufactured Home prior to resale
or other disposition that would have been covered by such Hazard Insurance
Policy.
(d) Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any of the
foregoing insurance, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, shall not be added to the amount owing under the Contract,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Contract so permit. Except as provided in
the final sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall not be entitled to
reimbursement from the Contract Seller, the Trustee or the Certificateholders
for such costs. Such costs (other than the cost of the blanket policy) shall
only be recovered out of later payments by the Obligor for such premiums or, if
the related Contract is liquidated after a default, out of the related
Liquidation Proceeds. If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for any such premiums, the amount of such insufficiency shall
constitute, and be reimbursable to the Servicer as, a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 4.10 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
------------------------------------------------
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond
and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with
responsible companies acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, on all officers, employees
or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Contracts to handle
funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Contracts. Any such fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer
against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and
omissions and negligent acts of such persons. No provision of this Section 4.10
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. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall
be in an amount as is customary for servicers that service a portfolio of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts of $100 million or more and
that are generally acceptable as servicers to institutional investors. On or
before April 1 of every year, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a
statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance
policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days'
prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 4.11 Collections under Hazard Insurance Policies, Consent to
-------------------------------------------------------
Transfers of Manufactured Homes, Assumption Agreements.
------------------------------------------------------
(a) In connection with its activities as administrator and Servicer
of the Contracts, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the
Trustee and the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Hazard
Insurance Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall
be necessary to permit recovery under any Hazard Insurance Policies or any
blanket policies obtained pursuant to Section 4.09(b) (except that the Servicer
shall not be required to make any advances that the Servicer believes, in its
sole judgment, would become a nonrecoverable advance). Any amounts collected by
the Servicer under any such Hazard Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.05, except to the extent they are
applied to the restoration of the related
-45-
Manufactured Home or released to the related Obligor in accordance with the
normal servicing procedures of the Servicer.
(b) In connection with any transfer of ownership of a Manufactured
Home and, if applicable, the related Mortgaged Property, by an Obligor to a
Person, the Servicer shall consent to any such transfer and permit the
assumption by such Person of the Contract related to such Manufactured Home,
provided that (i) such Person, in the judgment of the Servicer, meets the
Servicer's underwriting standards then in effect, (ii) such Person enters into
an assumption agreement, (iii) the Servicer determines that permitting such
assumption by such Person will not materially increase the risk of nonpayment of
such Contract and (iv) such action will not adversely affect or jeopardize any
coverage under any insurance policy required by this Agreement. In the event the
Servicer determines that the conditions of the proviso of the preceding sentence
have not been fulfilled, then the Servicer shall withhold its consent to any
such transfer, but only to the extent permitted under the Contract and
applicable law and governmental regulations and only to the extent that such
action will not adversely affect or jeopardize any coverage under any insurance
policy required by this Agreement. In connection with any such assumption, the
rate of interest borne by, and all other material terms of, the related Contract
shall not be changed.
(c) In any case in which a Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property is
to be conveyed to a Person by an Obligor, and such Person is to enter into an
assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Contract in
accordance with Section 4.11(b) or Section 4.07(d), upon the closing of such
conveyance, the Servicer shall cause the originals of the assumption agreement,
the release (if any), or the modification or supplement to the Contract to be
deposited with the Contract File or the Land Home Contract File, as applicable,
for such Contract. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement with respect to such Contract
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Section 4.12 Realization upon Defaulted Contracts.
------------------------------------
Subject to applicable law, the Servicer shall repossess, foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged
Property securing all Contracts that come into default and which the Servicer
believes in its good faith business judgment will not be brought current.
Subject to Section 4.17, the Servicer shall manage, conserve and protect such
Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged Property for the purposes of their prompt
disposition and sale, and shall dispose of such Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged
Property on such terms and conditions as it deems in the best interests of the
Certificateholders. If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged
Property is affected by hazardous waste, then the Servicer shall not cause the
Trust Fund to acquire title to such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or
similar proceeding. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall
not be deemed to have actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property is affected by
hazardous waste unless it shall have received written notice that hazardous
waste is present on such property and such written notice has been made a part
of the Land Home Contract File with respect to the related Contract. In
connection with such activities, the Servicer shall follow such practices and
procedures as are consistent with Section 4.02.
-46-
Section 4.13 Costs and Expenses.
------------------
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses
incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties under this Agreement,
including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of
Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts and repossessions of
Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged Property securing such Contracts), shall be
paid by the Servicer, and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
hereunder, except to the extent such reimbursement is specifically provided for
in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be
reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of a defaulted Contract for
Liquidation Expenses incurred by it in realizing upon the related Manufactured
Home and Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to: (i) costs of
refurbishing and securing such Manufactured Home; (ii) transportation expenses
incurred in moving the Manufactured Home; (iii) reasonable legal fees and
expenses of outside counsel; and (iv) sales commissions paid to Persons that are
not Affiliates of the Servicer. The Servicer shall not incur any Liquidation
Expenses unless it determines in its good faith business judgment that incurring
such expenses will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds from such Manufactured
Home and Mortgaged Property and that the Servicer will be reimbursed for such
Liquidation Expenses.
Section 4.14 Trustee to Cooperate.
--------------------
(a) Upon payment in full of any Contract, the Servicer will
notify the Trustee on the next Distribution Date by a certificate of a Servicing
Officer (which certification 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 Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.05
have been deposited). The Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in
satisfaction of such Contract and to do such other acts and execute such other
documents as the Servicer deems necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder
and eliminate the security interest in the Manufactured Home. The Servicer shall
determine when a Contract has been paid in full. To the extent insufficient
payments are received on a Contract mistakenly determined by the Servicer to be
prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall be paid by the
Servicer out of its own funds by deposit into the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as appropriate for servicing and
foreclosure in connection with any Land Home Contract, the Trustee shall, upon
written request of a Servicing Officer and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt
signed by such Servicing Officer, cause the original Land Home Contract and the
related Land Home Contract File to be released to the Servicer and shall execute
such documents as the Servicer shall deem necessary to the prosecution of any
such proceedings. The Trustee shall stamp the face of each such Land Home
Contract to be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Land Home
Contract has been assigned to the Trustee.
(c) The Servicer's receipt of a Land Home Contract and/or Land
Home Contract File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Land Home
Contract and the related Land Home Contract File to the Trustee, or any person
acting on behalf of the Trustee, when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless
the Contract shall be liquidated, repurchased or replaced as described in
Section 3.05.
-47-
(d) Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall, at
the expense of the Servicer, perform such acts as are reasonably requested by
the Servicer (including the execution of documents) and otherwise cooperate with
the Servicer in the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to
Contracts.
Section 4.15 Servicing and Other Compensation.
--------------------------------
The Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder including the
payment of fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 9.05, shall be entitled to receive on each
Distribution Date the Monthly Servicing Fee and Repossession Profits pursuant to
Section 5.03.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Servicer Deficiency
Amounts, Late Payment Fees or Extension Fees and any transfer of equity or
assumption fees shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall not be
reimbursed for its costs and expenses in servicing the Contracts except as
otherwise expressly provided herein.
No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer's right to
receive all or any portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be made, and any
such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless
such transfer is made to a successor Servicer in connection with the assumption
by such successor Servicer of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.07 and
all (and not a portion) of the Monthly Servicing Fee is transferred to such
successor Servicer.
Section 4.16 Custody of Contracts.
--------------------
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.16,
the Servicer agrees to act as custodian of the Contract Files (other than the
Land Home Contract Files) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
Trust Fund. The Certificateholders by their acceptance of the Certificates,
consent to the Servicer acting as custodian, and the Servicer agrees to maintain
the Contract Files (other than the Land Home Contract Files) as custodian
therefor.
(b) The Servicer agrees to maintain the related Contract Files
(other than the Land Home Contract Files) at its offices where they are
presently maintained, or at such other offices of the Servicer in the State of
California as shall from time to time be identified to the Trustee by ten days'
prior written notice. The Servicer may temporarily move individual Contract
Files, Land Home Contract Files or, in each case, any portion thereof without
notice as necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in
accordance with its customary practices and procedures.
(c) As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the
following powers and duties:
(i) hold the Contract Files (other than the Land Home
Contract Files) on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, maintain
accurate records pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with the
terms and conditions of this Agreement, maintain a current inventory thereof and
conduct annual physical inspections of Contract Files held by it under this
Agreement;
-48-
(ii) implement policies and procedures in writing and
signed by a Servicing Officer, with respect to persons authorized to have access
to the Contract Files on the Servicer's premises and the receipting for Contract
Files taken from their storage area by an employee of the Servicer for purposes
of servicing or any other purposes; and
(iii) attend to all details in connection with maintaining
custody of the Contract Files on behalf of the Certificateholders and the
Trustee.
(d) In performing its duties under this Section 4.16, the
Servicer agrees to act in accordance with the standard of care set forth in
Section 4.02. The Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure by
it to hold the Contract Files as herein provided, and shall promptly take
appropriate action to remedy any such failure. In acting as custodian of the
Contract Files, the Servicer further agrees not to assert any beneficial
ownership interests in the Contracts, or the Contract Files. The Servicer agrees
to indemnify the Certificateholders and the Trustee for any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever
which may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Certificateholders and
the Trustee as the result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the
maintenance and custody of the Contract Files; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Servicer will not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from
the negligence or willful misconduct of any other Person.
(e) Not later than 60 days from the Closing Date, the Contract
Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the following:
(i) the Land Home Contract Files;
(ii) the original Land Home Contracts endorsed as provided
in Section 3.02(x) (which endorsement may be manual or facsimile signature) on
behalf of the Contract Seller; and
(iii) Assignments from the Contract Seller to the Trustee,
which Assignments shall be in form and substance for recording, but shall not be
recorded except as required by Section 4.22 below;
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.16(e), in
those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage,
the Assignment of the Mortgage or the intervening Assignments of the Mortgage
after it has been recorded, the Contract Seller shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of
such Mortgage, such Assignment or Assignments of Mortgage certified by the
public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.
Within 90 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall review each
Land Home Contract File to determine that all required documents set forth in
each item of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16(e) have been executed and
received and that such documents relate to the Land Home Contracts identified on
the Contract Schedule. For purposes of this determination, the Trustee may rely
on the purported due execution and genuineness of any signature thereon. If
within such 90 day period the Trustee finds that any document constituting a
part of a Land Home Contract File was not executed, defective or received or is
unrelated to
-49-
the Land Home Contracts identified in the Contract Schedule (in this Section
4.16(e), a "defect"), the Trustee shall promptly upon the conclusion of its
review notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall notify the Contract Seller.
The Contract Seller shall have a period of 90 days from receipt of such notice
within which to correct or cure any such defect after the Contract Seller has
been notified of such. If the Contract Seller cannot correct or cure any such
defect with respect to a Land Home Contract within such 90 day period, it shall
comply with the provisions of Section 3.05 hereof.
If recordation of any Assignment is required hereunder, the original of
each such recorded Assignment shall be delivered to the Trustee within 10 days
following the date on which it is returned to the Contract Seller by the office
with which such Assignment was filed for recordation. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of the recorded Assignment, such recorded Assignment shall become part
of the Land Home Contract File.
(f) Custodial Arrangements. The Trustee may appoint a custodian
----------------------
who is acceptable to the Servicer and the Contract Seller and who, upon
execution of a custodial agreement, shall maintain possession of the Land Home
Contract Files, together with assignments in recordable form, or such part of
them as the Trustee shall direct, as agent of the Trustee pursuant to the terms
of such custodial agreement. The appointment of such custodian shall not relieve
the Trustee of its obligations hereunder. The Trustee will notify the Rating
Agencies upon the appointment of any custodian.
The Trustee shall keep the Servicer apprised at all times after the Closing
Date of the location of the Land Home Contract Files. The Trustee shall take all
steps that are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate the
Servicer's access to the Land Home Contract Files during normal business hours
of the Trustee or any custodian and shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in
securing such access.
Section 4.17 REMIC Compliance.
----------------
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the
Trust Fund as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state
law. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of
the Trust Fund, each of the Class A Certificates shall be designated as the
"regular interests" and the Class R Certificates shall be designated as the sole
class of "residual interests" in the REMIC. The REMIC Administrator and the
Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) in the REMIC other than the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day"
(the "Startup Date") of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9)
of the Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall at all times hold a Class R
Certificate representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest of all Class R Certificates
and shall be designated as "the tax matters person" with respect to the REMIC in
the manner provided under Treasury Regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and temporary
Treasury Regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T.
-50-
The REMIC Administrator, as tax matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the
REMIC in relation to any tax matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and
(ii) represent the Trust Fund in any administrative or judicial proceeding
relating to an examination or audit by any governmental taxing authority with
respect thereto. The legal expenses, including without limitation attorneys' or
accountants' fees, and costs of any such proceeding and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses of the Trust Fund and the REMIC Administrator shall
be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of amounts attributable to the
Contracts on deposit in the Certificate Account provided by Section 5.03 unless
such legal expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the REMIC
Administrator's willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. If the REMIC
Administrator is not the Servicer hereunder, the REMIC Administrator shall
continue its duties as tax matters person and shall be paid reasonable
compensation not to exceed $3,000 per year by the Servicer hereunder for so
acting as the REMIC Administrator.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all
of the tax returns that it determines are required with respect to the REMIC
created hereunder and deliver such tax returns in a timely manner to the Trustee
and the Trustee shall sign and file such tax returns in a timely manner. The
expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator
without any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC Administrator agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee with respect to any tax liability
arising from the Trustee's signing of tax returns that contain errors or
omissions. The Trustee and Servicer shall promptly provide the REMIC
Administrator with such information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to
time request for the purpose of enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare tax
returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any transferor of a
Class R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any
tax relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee and the Trustee shall forward to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium and (iii) to the Internal Revenue
Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will
serve as the representative of the REMIC.
(f) The REMIC Administrator and the Servicer shall take such actions
and shall cause the REMIC created hereunder to take such actions as are
reasonably within the REMIC Administrator's or the Servicer's control and the
scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary or
desirable to maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions
(and the Trustee shall assist the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, to the
extent reasonably requested by the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator to do
so). The REMIC Administrator and the Servicer shall not knowingly or
intentionally take any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail
to take (or fail to cause to be taken) any action reasonably within their
respective control that, under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as
the case may be, could (i) endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii)
result in the imposition of a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to
the tax on prohibited transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code
and the tax on contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860(G)(d) of the
Code) (either such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the
indemnification referred to in this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless
the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, has received an Opinion
-51-
of Counsel (at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such
party fails to pay such expense, and the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as
applicable, determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the
Trust Fund and the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in
no event at the expense of the REMIC Administrator, the Contract Seller, the
Servicer or the Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not,
with respect to the REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the
REMIC Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust
Fund against the imposition of such a tax, result in the imposition of such a
tax. Wherever in this Agreement a contemplated action may not be taken because
the timing of such action might result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust
Fund, or may only be taken pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action
would not impose a tax on the Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be taken
provided that the indemnity given in the preceding sentence with respect to any
taxes that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that all other
preconditions to the taking of such action have been satisfied. The Trustee
shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder)
as to which the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, has advised
it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior
to taking any action with respect to the REMIC or its assets, or causing the
REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of
this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the REMIC Administrator or the
Servicer, as applicable, or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether
such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to the
REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or cause the REMIC to take
any such action as to which the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as
applicable, has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, may consult with counsel
to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event at the expense of the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer. At all times as
may be required by the Code, the Servicer will to the extent within its control
and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain
substantially all of the assets of the REMIC as "qualified mortgages" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties,
additional amounts or additions to tax (a "Tax"), is imposed on the Trust Fund,
such Tax shall be charged against amounts otherwise required to be distributed
to the Holders of the Class R Certificates. The Trustee is hereby authorized to
retain, or cause the Paying Agent to retain, from amounts otherwise required to
be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates sufficient funds to
pay or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, or cause the Paying
Agent to pay, such Tax as is legally owed by the Trust Fund (but such
authorization shall not prevent the Servicer from contesting any such Tax in
appropriate proceedings, and withholding payment of such Tax, if permitted by
law, pending the outcome of such proceedings). To the extent that sufficient
amounts cannot be so retained to pay or provide for the payment of any tax
imposed on gain realized from any prohibited transaction (as defined in the
REMIC Provisions), the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into
a separate non-interest-bearing account, the net income from such prohibited
transactions and pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, such Tax. In the event
any (i) amounts initially retained from amounts required to be distributed to
the Holders of the Class R Certificates and (ii) income so segregated and
applied towards the
-52-
payment of such Tax shall not be sufficient to pay such Tax in its entirety, the
amount of the shortfall shall be paid from funds in the Certificate Account
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein. To the extent any
such segregated income or funds from the Certificate Account are paid to the
Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall retain, or cause to be retained, an
amount equal to the amount of such income or funds so paid from future amounts
otherwise required to be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates
and shall deposit such retained amounts in the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Holders of the Regular Certificates.
(h) The Trustee and the Servicer shall, for federal income tax
purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the REMIC on a calendar
year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC
Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee
shall accept any contributions of assets to the REMIC unless (subject to Section
4.17(f)) the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to make such contributions) to the effect
that the inclusion of such assets in the REMIC will not cause the REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section
4.17(f)) enter into any arrangement by which the REMIC will receive a fee or
other compensation for services nor permit the REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the
Treasury Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the
Certificate Balance of each Class of Certificates representing a regular
interest in the REMIC would be reduced to zero is the sixth Distribution Date
following the latest scheduled maturity of any Contract.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator
shall prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information
Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of
Collateralized Debt Obligations" for the REMIC.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall sell, dispose of or
substitute for any of the Contracts (except in connection with (i) the default,
imminent default or foreclosure of a Contract, including but not limited to, the
acquisition or sale of a Manufactured Home or a Mortgaged Property acquired by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the REMIC, (iii) the
termination of the REMIC pursuant to Article X of this Agreement or (iv) a
purchase of Contracts pursuant to Article III of this Agreement) nor acquire any
assets for the REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate
Account for gain nor accept any contributions to the REMIC after the Closing
Date unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition,
substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of the
REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the REMIC Administrator has determined in its
sole
-53-
discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause the REMIC to be
subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the
REMIC Provisions.
(n) Each Holder of a Class R Certificate, by purchasing such Class R
Certificate, agrees to give the Servicer written notice that it is a "pass-
through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations
Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon becoming the Holder of such Class R
Certificate, if it is, or is holding such Class R Certificate on behalf of, a
"pass-through interest holder." The Special Account and the Reserve Account and
amounts distributed thereto pursuant to Section 5.02(a) hereof shall not be
assets of the REMIC or the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificateholder shall be
the owner of the Special Account and the Reserve Account for federal income tax
purposes and shall be responsible for all taxes payable with respect to
distributions thereto.
(o) In the event that any Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property is
acquired in a repossession (an "REO Property"), the Servicer shall sell any REO
Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless (i) at
least 60 days before such three-year period would otherwise expire, the Servicer
applies for an extension of such three-year period pursuant to Sections
856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Servicer shall sell
such REO Property within the applicable extension period or (ii) at the request
of the Servicer, the Trustee seeks, and subsequently receives, an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after
its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause
the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a
manner that does not cause any such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by the REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
In connection with its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall
either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve
such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the
same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such
REO Property.
(p) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and
received in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart
from its own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with
respect to each REO Property an account held in trust for the Trustee for the
benefit of the Certificateholders (each, an "REO Account"), which shall be an
Eligible Account and the funds therein shall be invested in Eligible Investments
that will mature not later than the Business Day preceding the applicable
Determination Date. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in each REO Account by the depository.
-54-
(q) The Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a
daily basis in each REO Account all revenues received with respect to operation
of the related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property. On or before
each Determination Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and
deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the Certificate Account the income from
the REO Property on deposit in the REO Account, net of its reasonable fees and
expenses.
(r) The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the
Servicer at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall
deem necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general
servicing activities.
(s) The proceeds from the disposition of any REO Property, net
of any reimbursement to the Servicer as provided herein, shall be deposited in
the REO Account and shall be deposited in the Certificate Account when the
related Contract becomes a Liquidated Contract.
Section 4.18 Management of REO Property.
--------------------------
(a) If the Trustee acquires any REO Property pursuant to Section
4.17, the Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the
specific requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all
things in connection therewith as are consistent with the manner in which the
Servicer manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of
its Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to
be in the best interests of Certificateholders, and, consistent therewith, shall
withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with
respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect to
such REO Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect to
such REO Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO
Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any
REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in (i)-(iii) above with
respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from its own funds such
amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Servicer would
make such advances if the Servicer owned such REO Property and if in the
Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the
operation or sale of such REO Property.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not:
(i) authorize or permit any construction on any REO
Property, other than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon,
and then only if more than ten
-55-
percent of the construction of such building or other improvement was completed
before default on the related Contract became imminent, all within the meaning
of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(ii) directly operate, or allow any other Person to directly
operate, any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of
acquisition;
unless, in any such case, the Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the
Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(c) The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the
operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered
to require, that (A) the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO Property,
including those listed in subsection (a) hereof, (B) hold all related revenues
in a segregated account, which shall be an Eligible Account, and (C) remit all
related revenues collected (net of such costs and expenses and any fees retained
by such Independent Contractor) to the Servicer on a monthly or more frequent
basis;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 4.18(c) relating to
any such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and obligations to
the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders with respect to the operation and
management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the
same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in
connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent
Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification. The Servicer shall be entitled to pay all fees owed to any
such Independent Contractor out of the REO Account pursuant to Section 4.17.
(d) Subject to Section 4.18(b), the Servicer shall itself be entitled
to operate and manage any foreclosure property and, in such event, shall be
entitled to pay itself a monthly management fee in accordance with Section 4.17;
provided that the amount of such management fee shall not exceed the amount
--------
customarily charged for the operation and management of similar property in the
locality of such REO Property by property managers other than the Servicer or
its Affiliates.
-56-
Section 4.19 Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
-------------------------------------------------
The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Contract
Seller in obtaining any information maintained by it in the ordinary course of
performing its duties hereunder that is necessary for the Contract Seller, on
behalf of the Trust Fund, to cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission any periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Section 4.20 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
---------------------------------
The Servicer will deliver to the Contract Seller, the Trustee and each
Rating Agency on or before April 1 of each year, commencing in 2001, an
Officer's Certificate (i) stating that a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) stating that
to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, 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.
Section 4.21 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
-------------------------------------------------------
On or before April 1 of each year, commencing in 2001, the Servicer,
at its expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a
statement to the Contract Seller, the Trustee and each Rating Agency to the
effect that such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the
servicing of the Contracts under this Agreement and, at the option of the
Servicer, manufactured housing installment sale contracts and installment loan
agreements under pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar to this
Agreement with regard to servicing procedures (such statement to have attached
thereto a schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered
thereby, including this Agreement) and that, on the basis of such examination
conducted substantially in compliance with this Agreement or such agreements, as
the case may be, and generally accepted auditing standards, such servicing has
been conducted substantially in compliance with this Agreement or such pooling
and servicing agreements, as the case may be, except for such exceptions as such
firm believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions or errors in records
that may be set forth in such statement. For purposes of such statement, such
firm may assume conclusively that all pooling and servicing agreements among the
Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee relating to certificates
evidencing an interest in actuarial and/or simple interest manufactured housing
contracts are substantially similar to one another, except for any such pooling
and servicing agreement which by its terms specifically states otherwise.
Section 4.22 Retitling of Land Home Contracts.
--------------------------------
(a) If the Contract Seller or the Servicer receives actual
notice or knowledge that GreenPoint Bank, the parent of the Contract Seller, is
no longer assigned a long-term senior debt rating from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ of Baa3 or
higher, of BBB- or higher from S&P, the Servicer shall
-57-
promptly provide notice to the Trustee that GreenPoint Bank no longer has such
rating. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Trustee receives
written notice from the Servicer or the Contract Seller that GreenPoint Bank
does not have a long-term senior debt rating from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ of Baa3 or higher, of
BBB- or higher from S&P, or if the Trustee otherwise becomes aware that the
Contract Seller is no longer assigned such rating, the Trustee, at the Contract
Seller's expense, shall file promptly in the appropriate recording offices the
assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund of each Mortgage securing
a Land Home Contract sold by the Contract Seller to the Trust Fund.
(b) If at any time GreenPoint Bank does not own, directly or
indirectly, at least 51% of the membership interests of GreenPoint, GreenPoint
shall promptly provide notice to the Trustee that GreenPoint Bank no longer has
such ownership interest. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the
Trustee receives written notice from GreenPoint that GreenPoint Bank does not
own, directly or indirectly, at least 51% of the membership interests of
GreenPoint, or if the Trustee otherwise becomes aware that GreenPoint Bank no
longer has such ownership interest, the Trustee, at the Contract Seller's
expense, shall file promptly in the appropriate recording offices the
assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund of each Mortgage securing
a Land Home Contract.
Section 4.23 Notice of Rating Change.
-----------------------
In the event that any of the Class A Certificates are not rated "AAA" by
S&P and "Aaa" by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, respectively, on the Closing Date, the Servicer shall
give written notice to the Auction Agent of the initial ratings on the Class A
Certificates by S&P and ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ substantially in the form of the Notice of
Ratings. If there is a change in any of the ratings of the Certificates at any
time, the Servicer shall give written notice to the Auction Agent or if the

Depository, to the Trustee, substantially in the form of the Notice of Ratings
within three (3) Business Days of its receipt of notice of such change, but not
later than the close of business on the Business Day immediately preceding an

Certificate Account the Monthly Advance for the related Distribution Date, (ii)
direct the Trustee to apply all or a portion of the Excess Contract Payments in
the Certificate Account to make such Monthly Advance, or (iii) do any
combination of clauses (i) and (ii) to make such Monthly Advance. To the extent
that an Excess Contract Payment (or any portion thereof) that has been applied
pursuant to clause

(ii) or (iii) is required for application as to all or a portion of a Scheduled
Payment due on the related Contract, the Servicer shall deposit, out of its own
funds, the amount of such Excess Contract Payment (or the portion thereof
required for such Scheduled Payment) into the Certificate Account on the
immediately succeeding Due Date, and the amount so deposited will become part of
the Outstanding Amount Advanced.
(b) The Servicer shall reimburse itself for the Outstanding
Amount Advanced out of (i) collections of delinquent payments of principal and
interest on Contracts as to which the Servicer previously made a Monthly
Advance, (ii) available funds in the Certificate Account attributable to Excess

(c) If the Servicer determines that any advance made pursuant to
Section 5.01(a) has become a Nonrecoverable Advance and at the time of such
determination there exists an Outstanding Amount Advanced, then the Servicer
shall reimburse itself out of funds in the Certificate Account for the amount of
such Nonrecoverable Advance for the next succeeding Distribution Date by
withdrawing such amount pursuant to Section 5.03(v), but not in excess of such
Outstanding Amount Advanced. If a Contract becomes a Liquidated Contract and at
such time there exists an Outstanding Amount Advanced, then the Servicer shall
reimburse itself out of funds in the Certificate Account for the portion of
Monthly Advances equal to the aggregate of delinquent Scheduled Payments on such
Contract to the Due Date in the Collection Period in which such Contract became
a Liquidated Contract, but not in excess of such Outstanding Amount Advanced.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, under no circumstances
shall the Servicer be required to make a Monthly Advance that the Servicer
determines if made would be a Nonrecoverable Advance.

that there are no Contracts outstanding and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Servicer
promptly shall notify the Insurer, the LOC Provider and the Trustee and instruct
the Trustee to send the final distribution notice to each Certificateholder and

the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal
procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such
distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating
firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for
disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits
and disbursements with respect to a Global Certificate are to be made by the
Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of
the Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Contract
Seller nor the Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor. To the extent

the related Distribution Date by lot or such other manner as may be determined
by the Depository, a Depository Participant or the Trustee, which distributions,
prior to the Class A-1 Pro Rata Date, Class A-2 Pro Rata Date or Class A-3 Pro
Rata Date, as applicable, will be made only in allocations equal to $25,000 and
integral multiples of $25,000 in excess thereof. On each Distribution Date on

obligation of the institution that maintains the Spread Account, then such
Eligible Investments shall mature or, in the case of a money market fund, be
redeemed not later than such Distribution Date), and shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made
in the name of the Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders
and the Insurer. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee
shall select obligations for the investment of the Spread Account from among the
investments specified in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of "Eligible
Investments." The Trustee shall select such Eligible Investments, which shall

the Special Account, the Trustee shall withdraw amounts on deposit in the Spread
Account and deposit such amounts into the Special Account. To the extent that no
amounts are required to be deposited into the Special Account and there are

exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and
deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate will be made
unless the Trustee has received either (i) an Opinion of Counsel, at no expense
to the Trustee, the Contract
-71-
Seller, the Insurer, the LOC Provider or the Servicer, acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Contract Seller and the Servicer
with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under ERISA and Section 4975
of the Code and stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition
of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-
exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code and will not subject the Servicer, the Contract Seller or the Trustee to
any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement or
(ii) a representation letter from the transferee, substantially in the form of
paragraph 5 of Exhibit G. No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate will be
made without the consent of the Insurer and without notification to the Rating
Agencies.
(c) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Servicer and the Trustee or its designee under
clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and
to negotiate the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to
execute all instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in
connection with any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following
provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify
the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its receipt of,
(I) an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1 (a "Transfer
Affidavit") from the proposed Transferee, representing and warranting, among
other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it is not acquiring its
Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is the subject of the
proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains its Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that
it has reviewed the provisions of this Section 6.02(c) and agrees to be bound by
them, and (II) a certificate, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from
the Holder wishing to transfer the Class R Certificate, representing and
warranting, among other things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to
impede the assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit by a
proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate and (y) not
-72-
to transfer its Ownership Interest unless it provides a certificate to the
Trustee in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate,
agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through interest
holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations Section 1.67-
3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership Interest in a Class R
Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and a certificate of the
Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) are
prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded
pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section
1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 6.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder
under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class
R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(c) and to
the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder of such
Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable, then the Servicer shall have the right, without notice
to the holder or any prior holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such
Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Servicer on such terms as the
Servicer may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and
deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Servicer. Such purchaser may be the Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the
Servicer. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may include
commissions payable to the Servicer or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due,
if any, will be remitted by the Servicer to such purported Transferee. The terms
and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in the
sole discretion of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall not be liable to any
Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a result of its
exercise of such discretion.
-73-
(iv) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall use its
reasonable efforts to make available, upon written request from the Trustee, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding "excess
inclusions" of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal
Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated
investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the
Servicer from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(c) set forth prior to
this clause (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated pursuant to Section
11.01, provided that there shall have also been delivered to the Trustee the
following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the
effect that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will
not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if any, of
any Class of the Regular Certificates below the lower of the then-current rating
or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by such
Rating Agency; and
(B) a certificate of the Servicer stating that the
Servicer has received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Servicer, to the effect that such modification, addition to or absence of
such provisions will not cause Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC and
will not cause (x) the Trust Fund to be subject to an entity-level tax caused by
the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person that is a Disqualified
Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or another Person to be subject to a
REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R Certificate to a Person
that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and
opinions referred to above in this Section 6.02 shall not be an expense of the
Trust Fund, the Trustee, the Contract Seller or the Servicer.
Section 6.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
-------------------------------------------------
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, if any, such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a
protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued
-74-
pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as if originally issued, whether or not
the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate shall be found at any time. All
Certificates surrendered to the Trustee under the terms of this Section 6.03
shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with its standard
procedures without liability on its part.
Section 6.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
---------------------
The Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee may
treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this
Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
Section 6.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
---------------------------------------------------------
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such
Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Contract Seller or Servicer
shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the
Contract Seller, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients'
expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by
the Trustee, if any. The Contract Seller and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
Section 6.06 Global Certificates.
-------------------
The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Global
Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Contract
Seller. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the
Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section
6.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive
Certificates") have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.08:
(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and
effect;
(b) the Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee may treat
the Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes as the
authorized representative of the respective Certificate Owners of such
Certificates and, in the case of distributions, with the Depository as the
authorized representative of the Depository Participants and the Certificate
Owners;
(c) registration of the Global Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository;
-75-
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such
Certificates shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository
Participants and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements
between the Owners of such Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository
Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued with respect to the Class A Certificates pursuant to
Section 6.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository
Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on
the related Certificates to such Depository Participants; (e) the Depository may
collect its usual and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository
Participants;
(e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees,
charges and expenses from its Depository Participants;
(f) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying
upon information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants; and
(g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict
with any other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section
shall control.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders
evidencing a specified percentage of the Certificate Balance of a Class of
Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners
(acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Global
Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of the Certificate Balance or
the requisite Percentage Interests.
Section 6.07 Notices to Depository.
---------------------
Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to
Certificateholders of any Class with respect to which Global Certificates have
been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to
the related Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications to the Depository.
Section 6.08 Definitive Certificates.
-----------------------
If, after Global Certificates have been issued with respect to the Class A
Certificates, (a) the Servicer advises the Trustee that the Depository is no
longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the
Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Trustee or the
Servicer is unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) the Servicer, at its
sole option, advises the Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry
system with respect to such Certificates through the Depository or (c) after the
occurrence and continuation of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of such
Global Certificates having not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by
the related Class advise the Trustee and the Depository in writing through the
Depository Participants that the continuation of a book-entry system with
respect to such Certificates through the Depository (or its successor) is no
longer in the best interests of the Certificate Owners with respect to such
Certificates, then the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Class
of Certificates, through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and
of the availability of Definitive Certificates for such Class to Certificate
Owners requesting the same. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an
adequate inventory of
-76-
certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive Certificates.
Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the Depository,
accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for registration,
the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive Certificates. Neither
the Contract Seller, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay
in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively rely on, and shall be
protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of such Definitive
Certificates, all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
ARTICLE VII
THE CONTRACT SELLER AND THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Liabilities to Obligors.
-----------------------
No liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts arising out of any
act or omission to act of the Servicer in servicing the Contracts prior to the
Closing Date is intended to be assumed by the Contract Seller, the Trustee, the

actions (including penalties or fees imposed by any governmental or regulatory
body or agency) in respect of any action taken by the Servicer with respect to
any Contract or Manufactured Home constituting a failure by the Servicer to
perform its obligations under this Agreement. This indemnity shall survive any
Event of Default (but a Servicer's obligations under this Section 7.02 shall not
relate to any actions of any subsequent Servicer after an Event of Default) and
any payment of the amount owing under, or any repurchase by the Contract Seller
of, any such Contract.

amounts collected to the Servicer, together with any interest collected thereon.
-77-
Section 7.04 Merger or Consolidation of the Contract Seller or the
-----------------------------------------------------
Servicer.
--------
The Contract Seller and the Servicer will each keep in full effect their
existence, rights and franchises as a Delaware limited liability company, and
will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited
liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Contracts and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any Person into which the Contract Seller or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Contract Seller or the Servicer shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Contract Seller or
the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Contract Seller or the Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
-------- -------
the Servicer shall satisfy the requirements of Section 7.07 with respect to the
qualifications of a successor to the Servicer. The Contract Seller and the
Servicer shall promptly notify each Rating Agency and the Insurer of any such
merger to which it is a party.
The conversion of GreenPoint's organizational structure from a Delaware
limited liability company to a corporation, partnership or other such entity
shall not require the consent of any party or notice to any party and shall not
in any way affect the rights or obligations of GreenPoint as Contract Seller or
Servicer hereunder.
Section 7.05 Limitation on Liability of the Contract Seller, the Servicer
-------------------------------------------------------------
and Others.
----------
Neither the Contract Seller, the Servicer nor any of their members,
shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any
liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any errors in judgment or
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to
this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
--------- -------
Contract Seller or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misconduct, or gross negligence; provided,
-------
further that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person
-------
against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misconduct or gross negligence. The Contract Seller, the Servicer and any of
their members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents may rely
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Contract Seller nor
the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action which arises under this Agreement (other than in connection with
the enforcement by the Servicer of any Contract in accordance with this
Agreement) and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability;
provided, however, that the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such
-------- -------
other legal action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the
legal expenses and costs of such other legal action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities payable from the Certificate
Account, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Certificate Account as provided by Section 5.03.
-78-
Section 7.06 Assignment by Servicer.
----------------------
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement without the
consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder, the Servicer may, with the
consent of each of the Insurer and the LOC Provider (provided that if an Insurer
Default or LOC Default, as applicable, has occurred and is continuing, no
consent of the Insurer or the LOC Provider, as applicable, needs to be
obtained), which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, assign its rights
and delegate its duties and obligations under this Agreement; provided that the
--------
Person shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption
by such Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each
covenant and condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this
Agreement; and further provided that each Rating Agency's rating of any Class of
------- --------
the Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation
will not be withdrawn or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation,
as evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency. In the case of any such
assignment and delegation, the Servicer shall be released from its obligations
under this Agreement, except that the Servicer shall remain liable for all
liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Servicer hereunder prior to the
satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and in such delegation.
Section 7.07 Successor to the Servicer.
-------------------------
In connection with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall (i)
succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and
obligations under this Agreement (except the duty to pay and indemnify the
Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof), or (ii) with the consent of the
Contract Seller, the Insurer and the LOC Provider (provided that if an Insurer
Default or an LOC Default has occurred and is continuing, no consent of the
Insurer or the LOC Provider, as applicable, needs to be obtained), which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor which shall have a net
worth of not less than $50,000,000 and shall have serviced for at least one year
prior to such appointment a portfolio of not less than $100,000,000 principal
balance of manufactured housing installment sale contracts or installment loans
and which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the responsibilities,
duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this Agreement prior to the
termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties and liabilities under
this Agreement (except that the duty to pay and indemnify the Trustee pursuant
to Section 9.05 hereof shall be subject to negotiation at the time of such
appointment). If the Trustee has become the successor to the Servicer in
accordance with this Section 7.07, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling to
continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint, or petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor satisfying the
requirements set out in clause (ii) above. In connection with any appointment of
a successor Servicer, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Contracts as it and such
successor shall agree or such court shall determine; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Monthly Servicing Fee shall not be in excess of a monthly amount equal to 1/12th
of the product of 1% and the Pool Principal Balance for the Distribution Date in
respect of which such compensation is being paid without the consent of all of
the Certificateholders and notice to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer's
duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to Section 7.06 or 8.01, the Servicer shall discharge such
duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it
-79-
acquires knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the
same degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under
this Agreement, shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor Servicer in
effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of its successor. The assignment by a Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.06 or removal of Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 shall
not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this
Section 7.07 and shall in no event relieve the Contract Seller of liability
pursuant to Section 3.05 for breach of the representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 3.02 or 3.03. The Servicer being terminated pursuant to
Section 8.01 or Section 7.06 shall bear all costs of a transfer of servicing
therefrom, including but not limited to those of the Trustee reasonably
allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, and costs
of amending the Agreement, if necessary.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement
and the Certificates. Any assignment by or termination of the Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.06 or 8.01 or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Servicer
arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
The Servicer shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the
Certificate Account and REO Account and all Contract Files, Land Home Contract
Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer
shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and
do such other things as reasonably may be required to more fully and definitely
vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. Without
limitation, the Trustee is 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 (including transfer instruments in respect of certificates
of title and financing statements relating to the Manufactured Homes), and to do
any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such notice of termination.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Trustee shall
notify in writing the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency of such
appointment.
ARTICLE VIII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 8.01 Events of Default.
-----------------
In case one or more of the following Events of Default shall occur and be

federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-
up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered against the Servicer,
and such decree or order shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed
for a period of 60 days; or
(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of

generally 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
take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been cured or waived, the Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that if an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs to be
obtained and the Trustee shall instead obtain the consent of the LOC Provider,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, provided that if an LOC
Default has occurred and is continuing, no consent of the LOC Provider needs to
be obtained), and the Trustee shall at the written direction of (i) the Insurer
so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing or (ii) if an
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the LOC Provider so long as no
LOC Default has occurred and is continuing or (iii) if an Insurer Default and an
LOC Default has occurred and is continuing, and notwithstanding the waiver
provisions of Section 8.02 hereof, the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Fractional Interests aggregating not less than 51% by notice in writing to the
Servicer, terminate all the rights and obligations of the Servicer under this
Agreement and with respect to the Contracts and the proceeds thereof, except any
responsibility for its acts or omissions during its tenure as Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee shall send a copy of a notice of any Event of Default to
each Rating Agency, the Insurer, the LOC Provider and the Contract Seller. On or
after the receipt by the Servicer of such written
-81-
notice, all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether
with respect to the Contracts or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the
successor appointed pursuant to Section 7.07. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default which shall not have been remedied, the Trustee may also pursue whatever
rights it may have at law or in equity to damages, including injunctive relief
and specific performance. The Trustee will have no obligation to take any action
or institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement at the
request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, the LOC Provider
or the Insurer unless such Certificateholders, the LOC Provider or the Insurer
have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs,
expenses and liabilities which the Trustee may incur.
Section 8.02 Waiver of Defaults.
------------------
The Insurer so long as no Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing or
if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, the LOC Provider so long
as no LOC Default has occurred and is continuing or if an Insurer Default and an
LOC Default has occurred and is continuing, Holders of Certificates evidencing
Fractional Interests aggregating not less than 25% may waive any default by the
Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences,
except that a default in the making of any required remittance to the Trustee
for distribution on any of the Certificates may be waived only by the affected
Certificateholders. Upon any such 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 thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 8.03 Trustee to Act, Appointment of Successor.
----------------------------------------
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.07, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be
the successor in all respects to the Servicer as provided in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding the above, or anything in Section 7.07 to the contrary,
the Trustee, if it becomes Servicer pursuant to this Section, shall have no
responsibility or obligation (i) to repurchase or substitute any Contract, (ii)
for any representation or warranty of the Servicer hereunder, and (iii) for any
act or omission of either a predecessor or successor Servicer other than the
Trustee. The Trustee may conduct any activity required of it as Servicer
hereunder through an Affiliate or through an agent. Neither the Trustee nor any
other successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder due to any
act or omission of a predecessor Servicer, including but not limited to failure
to timely deliver to the Trustee any Monthly Report, any funds required to be
deposited to the Trust Fund, or any breach of its duty to cooperate with a
transfer of servicing as required by Section 7.07.
Section 8.04 Notification to Certificateholders.
----------------------------------
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.07,
the Trustee shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Contract Seller, the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency.
-82-
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default,
the Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 8.05 Effect of Transfer.
------------------
(a) After a transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.04, 7.06, 7.07, 8.01 or 8.07, the Trustee or the successor
Servicer may notify Obligors to make payments that are due under the Contracts
after the effective date of the transfer of servicing duties directly to the
successor Servicer.
(b) After the transfer of servicing duties to a successor
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.04, 7.06, 7.07, 8.01 or 8.07, the replaced
Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management,
administration, servicing or collection of the Contracts, but in the case of a
transfer pursuant to Section 7.07, 8.01 or 8.07 shall remain liable for any
liability arising from the replaced Servicer's actions hereunder and shall
remain entitled to any compensation due the replaced Servicer that had already
accrued prior to such transfer.
(c) A transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer shall
not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but not
limited to the indemnities of the Servicer pursuant to Article VII), other than
those relating to the management, administration, servicing or collection of the
Contracts.
Section 8.06 Transfer of the Account.
-----------------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01 or 8.07, if the Certificate
Account shall be maintained with the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer
and an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Servicer, after five
days' written notice from the Trustee, or in any event within ten days after the
occurrence of the Event of Default, shall establish a new account, which shall
be an Eligible Account, conforming with the requirements of this Agreement, at
the trust department of the Trustee or with a depository institution other than
the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, and shall promptly transfer all
funds in the Certificate Account to such new Certificate Account, which shall
thereafter be deemed the Certificate Account for the purposes hereof.
Section 8.07 Servicer Termination Events.
---------------------------
If one or more of the following Servicer Termination Events shall occur
and be continuing with respect to a Distribution Date:
(a) the Current Realized Loss Ratio as of any Distribution Date
exceeds 3.5%; or
(b) the Cumulative Realized Losses as of such Distribution Date
exceed (a) if such Distribution Date is from and including November 2000 and up
to and including October 2004, 9.0% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance,
(b) if such Distribution Date is from and including November 2004 and up to and
including October 2005, 11.0% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance, (c) if

GreenPoint; or
(d) GreenPoint sells a substantial portion of its manufactured
housing servicing operations without the prior written consent of the Insurer;
or

Contracts without the prior written consent of the Insurer; or

principal of or premium or any interest on its debt which is outstanding in the
principal amount of at least $1,000,000 when due, subject to the applicable
grace period, if any, specified in the agreement or other instrument relating to
such debt and (b) if the effect of such event is to accelerate the maturity and
repayment of such debt before the stated maturity thereof;
then, in each and every such case, and so long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Insurer may review the operations of the
Servicer and, in its sole discretion remove the Servicer. Upon such removal the
provisions of Sections 8.03, 8.04, 8.05 and 8.06 shall apply. Neither the
Trustee nor the Certificateholders shall be able to remove the Servicer if a
Servicer Termination Event has occurred.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.01 Duties of Trustee.
-----------------
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth specifically in
this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred of which a Responsible
Officer has knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs,
unless it is acting as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.03 in which case it will
use the same degree of care and skill as the Servicer.
-84-
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are required specifically to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the
Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure
to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
-------- -------
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after
the curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express
provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the
performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement
against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee,
the Trustee may rely conclusively, as to the truth of the statements and the
correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions
furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable personally for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible Officers of
the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in
ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable personally with respect to
any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Insurer, the LOC Provider or Holders of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to
the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available
to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee,
under this Agreement.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss on any Eligible
Investment except and only to the extent that it is an obligor thereon.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
-------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting
or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate,
certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper
or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by
the proper party or parties;
-85-
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel, and any written advice
of its counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such advice or
Opinion of Counsel;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of
the trusts or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or
defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or
direction of any of the Certificateholders, the LOC Provider or the Insurer
pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders,
the LOC Provider or the Insurer shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby;
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable personally for any action
taken, suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be
authorized or within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by
this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and
after the curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred,
the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the computations,
facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument,
opinion, report, any Monthly Report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the
Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not less
than 25%; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
-------- -------
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every
such examination shall be paid by the Servicer, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholders
requesting the investigation;
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers
hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through
agents or attorneys; provided, however, that any Affiliate of the Contract
-------- -------
Seller may only perform ministerial or custodial duties hereunder as agent for
the Trustee; and
(g) The Trustee shall examine any directions, notices or other
communications received from the Servicer, the LOC Provider, the Contract
Seller, the Insurer or any Certificateholder (or agent thereof) to determine if
such directions, notices or other communications appear on their face to have
been made and to otherwise be in accordance with the requirements of this
Agreement. As long as the Trustee has acted in good faith and has not been
negligent in making determinations required by this Section 9.02(g), the Trustee
may conclusively rely on such directions, notices or other communications and
shall incur no liability hereunder for complying with, or assuming the truth of
the statements contained in, any such direction, notice or other communication.
-86-
Section 9.03 Trustee not Liable for Certificates or Contracts.
------------------------------------------------
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Contract Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of the
Certificates (except that the Certificates shall be duly and validly
authenticated by it) or of any Contract or related document. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Contract Seller or the
Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Contract Seller or the
Servicer in respect of the Contracts or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Certificate Account by the Servicer.
Section 9.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
----------------------------
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the
owner or pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the other
parties hereto with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 9.05 Servicer to Pay Fees and Expenses of Trustee, Paying
----------------------------------------------------
Agent and Certificate of Administrator.
--------------------------------------
The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay, from its own funds, to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator from time to time,
and the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator shall each
be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and
in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the
Trustee, and the Servicer will pay (out of its own funds) or reimburse the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator, to the extent
requested by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Administrator, as
the case may be, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Agreement, and the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ, and
the expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the appointment of an
office or agency pursuant to Section 9.11, except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Servicer also
covenants and agrees to indemnify (out of its own funds) the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the Certificate Administrator for, and to hold each of them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust and its duties hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The
covenants in this Section 9.05 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator in their respective capacities as
Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar
hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
-87-
Section 9.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
------------------------------------
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be
qualified to maintain an Eligible Account and shall be either (a) Bank One,
National Association ("Bank One") or any other Person into which Bank One is
merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of the properties and
assets of Bank One are transferred as an entirety, provided that such other
--------
Person has accepted appointment as Trustee under this Agreement in accordance
with this Article IX, and further provided that such entity is not an Affiliate
------- --------
of the Contract Seller or the LOC Provider, is authorized to exercise corporate
trust powers under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia and has all necessary trust powers to perform its
obligations hereunder, or (b) a corporation or banking association organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, and which
is not an Affiliate of the Contract Seller or the LOC Provider; further provided
------- --------
that either (i) such entity has long-term debt rated at least A3 by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, BBB
by S&P or the equivalent by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization, or (ii) each Rating Agency provides a letter to the effect that
such appointment will not affect the then current ratings of the Certificates.
If the corporation or banking association referred to in clause (b) of the
previous sentence publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to
law or to the requirements of said supervising or examining authority, then for
the purposes of this Section 9.06, the combined capital and surplus of such
corporation or banking association shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
addition, the Trustee shall maintain an office in New York. If at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 9.06, it shall resign immediately in the manner and with the effect
hereinafter specified in this Article IX.
Section 9.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
--------------------------------------
The Trustee at any time may resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by giving written notice thereof to the Contract Seller, the
Servicer, the Insurer, the LOC Provider and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving
such notice of resignation, the Contract Seller, with the consent of the Insurer
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that if an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, no such consent needs to be obtained and
the Trustee shall instead obtain the consent of the LOC Provider, provided that
if an LOC Default has occurred and is continuing no such consent needs to be
obtained) shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall
have been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the
giving of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any
court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written
request therefor by the Contract Seller, or if at any time the Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of
-88-
rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Contract Seller may remove
the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate,
one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and
one copy to the successor trustee and the Certificateholders.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests
aggregating not less than 50% may remove the Trustee at any time and appoint a
successor trustee reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer (provided that if an
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs
to be obtained and the consent of the LOC Provider shall instead be obtained,
provided that if an LOC Default has occurred and is continuing no such consent
needs to be obtained) by written instrument or instruments, in triplicate,
signed by such Certificateholders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized,
one complete set of which instruments shall be delivered to the Contract Seller,
one complete set to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor
so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a
successor trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as
provided in Section 9.08.
Section 9.08 Successor Trustee.
-----------------
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07 shall
execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Contract Seller and to its predecessor
trustee, with a copy to the Servicer, an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee
and the appointment of such successor trustee shall become effective, and such
successor trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become
fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee
herein. The predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and
do such other things as reasonably may be required to more fully and certainly
vest and confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this
Section 9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall
be eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 9.08, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register, to the Contract Seller and each Rating Agency. If the
Servicer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
Section 9.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
----------------------------------
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or
with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be
--------
-89-
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing
of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,
anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. Upon succession of a successor
trustee as provided in this Section 9.09, the successor Trustee shall mail
notice of the succession of such trustee hereunder to all Certificateholders at
their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register, to the Servicer, the
Contract Seller and each Rating Agency.
Section 9.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
---------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the
purpose of (i) meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any
part of the Trust Fund or property securing the same may be located at the time,
or (ii) meeting any legal requirements with respect to the holding of the
Contracts, the Contract Seller and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the
power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more
Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly
with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part
of the Trust Fund, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such
title to the Trust Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Contract Seller and the Trustee may consider necessary or
desirable. If the Contract Seller shall not have joined in such appointment
within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request so to do, or in case an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall
(or with the consent of the Contract Seller) have the power to make such
appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to
meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 9.06
hereunder, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment of co-
trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee
pursuant to this Section 9.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations
conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee
jointly, except to the extent that, under any law of any jurisdiction in which
any particular act or acts are to be performed or under any regulation
applicable to any of the Contracts (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor
to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to
perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and
obligations (including the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such
separate trustee or co-trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
-90-
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, appoint the
Trustee its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee. Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall relieve the Trustee of its
duties, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
Section 9.11 Appointment of Office or Agency.
-------------------------------
The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of New York
where Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange.
The Trustee initially designates First Chicago Trust Company of New York,
located at ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, for such purpose. The Certificate
Register will be kept in Chicago, Illinois at the offices of the Certificate
Registrar located at the Corporate Trust Office and may be kept in an electronic
form capable of printing out a hard copy of the Certificate Register. The
Trustee will maintain an office at the address stated in Section 11.05 hereof
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates
may be served. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to Certificateholders
of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or
agency.
Section 9.12 Certificate Administrator.
-------------------------
The Trustee may, from time to time, appoint a Certificate
Administrator for the purpose of performing, as the Trustee's agent, those
duties hereunder that are specifically designated herein as performable by the
Certificate Administrator; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator
-------- -------
shall at all times satisfy the eligibility requirements of a Trustee set forth
in Section 9.06. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall be the Certificate
Administrator unless and until the Trustee appoints a successor Certificate
Administrator. In performing its duties hereunder, the Certificate Administrator
(if not the Trustee) shall have the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement
to the same extent that the Trustee would have the benefit of such provisions if
the Trustee were itself performing such duties. The Certificate Administrator
(including the Trustee solely in its capacity as Certificate Administrator)
shall not have any fiduciary responsibility to the Contract Seller, the Servicer
or the Certificateholders except when acting as Paying Agent. Additionally, the
Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon all directions,
calculations and other information received by the Contract Seller, the Trustee
or the Servicer without any duty to independently verify such directions,
calculations or other information.
Section 9.13 Appointment of Paying Agent.
---------------------------
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 and payments
pursuant to 3.17 and 9.01(c). Any Paying Agent or its parent company so
appointed either shall be a bank or trust company and shall have a rating
acceptable to each Rating Agency. In the event of any such appointment, on or
prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be
deposited with the Paying Agent, from amounts in the Certificate Account, a sum
sufficient to make the payments
-91-
to Certificateholders in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section
5.02, such sum to be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders.
The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as Paying Agent.
In performing its duties hereunder, the Paying Agent shall have the
benefit of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent that the Trustee
would have the benefit of such provisions if the Trustee were itself performing
such duties. Additionally, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely upon all

yet reimbursed to the LOC Provider and the remittance of all funds due

--------
be less than the Minimum Termination Amount as of the Distribution Date on which
the Holders of the Class R Certificates purchase such Contracts. Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the trust created hereby
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the late ambassador of the United
States to the Court of St. ▇▇▇▇▇, living on the date hereof; and provided
--------
further that if the Trust Fund is dissolved prior to the termination of the
-------
Certificate Insurance Policy and/or the LOC, the Trustee shall retain possession
of Certificate Insurance Policy and the LOC, as applicable, as collateral agent
for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and if any amount previously
distributed in accordance with Section 5.02(a) is thereafter required to be paid
under the Certificate Insurance Policy or the LOC, the Trustee as collateral
agent shall make a claim under the Certificate Insurance Policy or the LOC for
such amount in accordance with Section 5.08 or Section 5.10 and distribute such
amount as required under the Certificate Insurance Policy or the LOC.
(b) Termination Auction. The Servicer shall provide written notice to
-------------------
the Trustee of the occurrence of the Distribution Date as of which the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal
Balance within three Business Days following such Distribution Date. If neither
the Servicer or the Class R Certificateholders exercises their option to
purchase the Contracts pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Trustee shall in
accordance with the procedures and schedule set forth in Exhibit J hereto (the
---------
"Termination Auction Procedures"), make a commercially reasonable effort to sell
at fair market value in a
-93-
commercially reasonable manner and upon commercially reasonable terms but
subject to the earlier purchase by the Servicer of the Outstanding Contracts as
provided in Section 10.01(a) above, by conducting an auction (the "Termination
Auction") of the Contracts remaining in the Trust Fund in order to effect a
termination of the Trust Fund on a date selected by the Trustee (the "Auction
Termination Date"), but in any case within ninety days following the
Distribution Date as of which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than
10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance. The Contract Seller (if
GreenPoint is not the Servicer) may, but shall not be required to, bid at the
Termination Auction. The Trustee shall be entitled to retain counsel of its
choice to represent it in the Termination Auction, and the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be paid by the Servicer. The Trustee shall sell and transfer
the Contracts to the highest bidder therefor at the Termination Auction provided
that:
(1) the Termination Auction has been conducted in
accordance with the Termination Auction Procedures;
(2) the Trustee has received good faith bids for
the Contracts from at least two prospective purchasers that are considered by
the Trustee, in its sole discretion, to be competitive participants in the
market for manufactured housing installment sale contracts; provided, that at
--------
least one of such prospective purchasers shall not be an Affiliate of the
Contract Seller;
(3) a financial advisor selected by the Trustee,
the fees of whom shall be an expense of the Servicer, as advisor to the Trustee
(in such capacity, the "Advisor"), shall have advised the Trustee in writing
that at least two of such bidders are participants in the market for
manufactured housing retail installment sale contracts and are willing and able
to purchase the Contracts (the Trustee may in its discretion select itself or an
affiliate thereof as Advisor);
(4) the highest bid in respect of the Contracts is
not less than the aggregate fair market value of the Contracts (as determined by
the Trustee in its sole discretion);
(5) any bid submitted by the Contract Seller or
any Affiliate of the Contract Seller shall be independently verified and
represented in writing by a qualified independent third party evaluator (which
may include the Advisor or an investment banking firm) selected by the Trustee
and may only be considered if such evaluator determines that the bid reasonably
represents the fair market value of the Contracts;
(6) the highest bid would result in proceeds from
the sale of the Contracts which will be at least equal to the Minimum
Termination Amount plus any unreimbursed Enhancement Payment plus any other
amounts due and owing to the Insurer hereunder or pursuant to the Insurance
Agreement plus any unreimbursed Draw Amounts;
(7) such sale and consequent termination of the
Trust Fund must constitute a "qualified liquidation" of the Trust Fund under
Section 860F of the Code, including the requirement that the proceeds of such
qualified liquidation are credited or distributed to the holders of regular
residual interests within 90 days from the date upon which
-94-
the Trust Fund adopts a plan of complete liquidation (the Trustee may, in its
discretion, require that the purchaser of such Contracts provide an Opinion of
Counsel to that effect); and
(8) the terms of the Termination Auction must be
made available to all bidders and must stipulate that the Servicer be retained
to service the Contracts on terms substantially similar to those in this
Agreement.
Provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through
(8) have been met, the Trustee shall sell and transfer the Contracts, without
representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, to such highest
bidder in accordance with and upon completion of the Termination Auction
Procedures. The Trustee shall deposit the purchase price for the Contracts in
the Certificate Account at least one Business Day prior to the fourth
Distribution Date following the Optional Termination Date. The provisions of
subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 10.01 also shall apply with respect to
any Termination Auction. In the event that any of such conditions are not met or
such highest bidder fails or refuses to comply with any of the Termination
Auction Procedures, the Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale and
transfer. In such case the Termination Auction shall be concluded and the
Trustee shall be under no further duty to solicit bids for or otherwise to
attempt to sell the Contracts.
(c) (i) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution
Date upon which all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the
Trustee for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Servicer by
letter to the Certificateholders, the Insurer, the LOC Provider, the Trustee,
the Contract Seller and each Rating Agency mailed no later than the 10th day of
the month next preceding the month of such final distribution, specifying (i)
the Distribution Date upon which final payment on the Certificates will be made
upon presentation and surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, and (iii)
that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. After
giving such notice, the Trustee shall not register the transfer or exchange of
any Certificates. If such notice is given in connection with the Servicer's
election to purchase, the Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account on
the Business Day prior to the applicable Distribution Date the amount described
in Section 10.01(a)(ii). The amount so deposited shall not be invested.
(ii) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed, from funds in the Certificate
Account, (a) to Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective
Percentage Interests, an amount equal to (1) as to the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificate Balance together with the
Class A-1 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the
Class A-1 Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-1 Certificate Balance, (2)
as to the Class A-2 Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificate Balance
together with the Class A-2 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's
interest at the Class A-2 Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-2
Certificate Balance and (3) as to the Class A-3 Certificates, the
Class A-3 Certificate Balance together with the Class A-3 Unpaid
Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class A-3 Pass-
Through Rate on the Class A-3 Certificate Balance, (b) to the Insurer,
any unreimbursed Enhancement Payments and (c) to the LOC Provider, any
unreimbursed Draw Amounts.
-95-
(iii) Upon such termination, any amounts remaining in the
Certificate Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims) shall
be paid to the Class R Certificateholders. Following such final
deposit, the Servicer shall prepare and the Trustee shall execute all
assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate
such transfer. The distribution on the final Distribution Date shall be
in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be made on such
Distribution Date in respect of the Certificates and the Class R
Certificate.
(d) If any Certificateholder does not surrender its Certificate
for cancellation by the final Distribution Date specified in the written notice
required in Section 10.01(c)(i), any amounts retained in the Certificate Account
that are owed to such Certificateholder shall be withdrawn from the Certificate
Account and held in an escrow account with the Trustee pending distribution
pursuant to this Section 10.01(d). Any amounts so held shall not be invested.
The Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within two years after the
second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall so notify the Contract Seller and the Contract
Seller may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate
and reasonable steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of, and
only to the extent of, the funds and other assets which remain in trust
hereunder.
Upon any termination pursuant to the exercise of the purchase option
contained in Section 10.01(a)(ii), the consummation of a sale pursuant to a
Termination Auction or otherwise, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund
to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.01 will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as described
in Section 860F of the Code, (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or (iii) result in the
imposition of taxes on contributions of additional assets to the Trust Fund
under Section 860G(d) of the Code:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date
set forth in the notice given by the Servicer or the Trustee under this Section
10.01, the Holders of the Class R Certificates shall adopt a plan of complete
liquidation of the Trust Fund;
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the
Servicer as agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund
to the purchaser thereof (which may be the Servicer) for cash (other than assets
that will be converted to cash prior to the final Distribution Date); and
(iii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of
complete liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall credit or distribute all proceeds of the liquidation (plus the cash), less
assets retained to meet claims, to the Certificateholders.
-96-
By its acceptance of a Class R Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to
adopt such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the
Servicer and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be
reasonably requested by the Contract Seller.

provisions herein, (iii) to add to the duties or obligations of the Servicer,
(iv) to obtain a rating from a nationally recognized rating agency or to

from Moody's and S&P, none of the Trustee, the Contract Seller or the Servicer
is obligated to obtain, maintain or improve any rating assigned to the
Certificates) or (v) to make such other provisions with respect to matters or
questions arising under this Agreement, as shall not be inconsistent with any
other provisions herein; provided that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
--------
Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of
any Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the consent of the
Certificateholders, the Trustee, the Contract Seller, the Insurer, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, no such Insurer consent needs to be obtained), the
LOC Provider, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that if
an LOC Default has occurred and is continuing, no such LOC Provider consent
needs to be obtained) and the Servicer may at any time and from time to time
amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to any of its provisions to
such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to maintain the qualification
of the Trust Fund as a REMIC under the Code or to avoid or minimize the risk of
the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund pursuant to the Code that would be a
claim against the Trust Fund at any time prior to the final redemption of the
Certificates, provided that the Trustee has been provided an Opinion of Counsel,
which opinion shall be an expense of the party requesting such opinion but in
any case shall not be an expense of the Trustee, to the effect that such action
is necessary or appropriate to maintain such qualification or to avoid or
minimize the risk of the imposition of such a tax. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary in this Agreement, Section 5.10 of this Agreement, and the
definition of LOC, LOC Provider, Draw Amount, Undrawn Amount, Letter of Credit
Amount and LOC Default may be amended, eliminated, cancelled, modified or
changed in any way by mutual agreement between the Insurer and the LOC Provider

Interest of each Class of Regular Certificates affected thereby for the purpose
of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the
Holders of Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i)
-------- -------
reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to
be distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i),
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as
to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66% or (iii) reduce the
aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such
Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee
shall not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party
requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any
tax on the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or cause the Trust Fund to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement
requiring the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the
Insurer, the LOC Provider and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under

it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee
that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 11.01.

The death or incapacity of any Certificateholder shall not operate to
terminate this Agreement or the Trust Fund, nor entitle such Certificateholder's
legal representative or heirs to claim an accounting or to take any action or
commence any proceeding in any court for a petition or winding up of the Trust
Fund, or otherwise affect the rights, obligations and liabilities of the parties
hereto or any of them.
No Certificateholder shall have any right to vote (except as provided

any provision hereof.
No Certificateholder shall have any right by virtue or by availing itself
of any provisions of this Agreement to institute any suit, action or proceeding
in equity or at law upon or under or with respect to this Agreement, unless such
Holder previously shall have given to the Trustee a written notice of an Event
of Default and of the continuance thereof, as hereinbefore provided, and unless
the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than 25% of the Voting Rights
evidenced by the Certificates shall also have made written request to the
Trustee to institute such action, suit or proceeding in its own name as Trustee

request and offer of indemnity shall have neglected or refused to institute any

expressly covenanted by each Certificateholder with every other
Certificateholder and the Trustee, that no one or more Holders of Certificates

themselves of any provisions of this Agreement to affect, disturb or prejudice
the rights of the Holders of any other of the Certificates, or to obtain or seek
to obtain priority over or preference to any other such Holder or to enforce any
right under this Agreement, except in the manner herein provided and for the

SECTION 1.2 General Provisions.
------------------
Each Class of Certificates shall bear interest at the applicable Pass-Through
Rate. For each Interest Accrual Period, interest at the applicable Pass-Through
Rate shall accrue daily and shall be computed for the actual number of days
elapsed on the basis of a year consisting of 360 days.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(a) if the ownership of a Class is no longer maintained in Book-Entry
Form, the Pass-Through Rate for such Class for any Interest Accrual Period
commencing after the delivery of certificates representing such Certificates
shall equal the lesser of (i) the Maximum
Schedule I-4
Auction Rate and (ii) the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate on the Business Day
immediately preceding the first day of such subsequent Interest Accrual Period;
or
(b) for each Interest Accrual Period commencing after the occurrence
and during the continuance of an Insurer Default and for any Interest Accrual
Period less than two Business Days after the cure of any Insurer Default, the
applicable Pass-Through Rate for each Class for any such period shall equal the
lesser of (i) the Maximum Auction Rate and (ii) the Net Weighted Average
Contract Rate on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of such
subsequent Interest Accrual Period.
The Auction Agent shall promptly give written notice to the Trustee and the
Depository of the applicable Pass-Through Rate and either the Auction Rate or
the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate, as the case may be, when such rate is
not the applicable Pass-Through Rate. The Trustee shall notify the
Certificateholders of the applicable Pass-Through Rate applicable to the related
Class for each Interest Accrual Period on the second Business Day of such
Interest Accrual Period.
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Class A Certificates or the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, interest payable on the Class A Certificates for an
related Interest Accrual Period shall never exceed for such Interest Accrual
Period the amount of interest payable at the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate
in effect for such Interest Accrual Period.
If the Auction Rate for any Class is greater than the Net Weighted Average
Contract Rate, then the Pass-Through Rate for such Class for that Interest
Accrual Period will be the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate. If the Pass-
Through Rate for any Class for any Interest Accrual Period is the Net Weighted
Average Contract Rate, the Trustee shall determine the Net Funds Cap Carryover
Amount, if any, with respect to such Class. The Net Funds Cap Carryover Amount
shall bear interest calculated at a rate equal to the then applicable Pass-
Through Rate for the related Class, without giving effect to the Net Weighted
Average Contract Rate from the Distribution Date for the related Interest
Accrual Period with respect to which the Net Funds Cap Carryover Amount was
calculated, until paid. For purposes of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, any
reference to "principal" or "interest" herein shall not include within the
meaning of such words Certificateholders' interest carryover or any interest
accrued on any such Net Funds Cap Carryover Amount.

through a Broker-Dealer, provided that, in the case of all transfers other than

(2) the principal amount of an Outstanding Class owned
by such Existing Certificateholder which such Existing
Certificateholder offers to sell if the Pass-Through Rate for such
Class the next succeeding related Interest Accrual Period shall be

by such Existing Certificateholder which such Existing
Certificateholder offers to sell without regard to the Pass-Through
Rate for such Class for the next succeeding related Interest Accrual
Period;
and

Certificateholders to determine the principal amount of Certificates of
the related Class which each Potential Certificateholder offers to

determined as provided in this Section 2.1.1 shall be less than the
rate specified therein; or
(2) such principal amount, or a lesser principal
amount of an Outstanding Class be determined as set forth in Section

amount of an Outstanding Class to be determined as set forth in
Section 2.1.1(d)(ii)(C) hereof, if the rate specified therein shall be
higher than the Pass-Through Rate for such Class and Sufficient Bids
have not been made.
(B) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1 (b) hereof,
a Sell Order by an Existing Certificateholder shall constitute an
irrevocable offer to sell:
(1) the principal amount of Outstanding Class of
related Certificates specified in such Sell Order; or
(2) such principal amount, or a lesser principal
amount of an Outstanding Class set forth in Section 2.1.1(d)(ii)(C)
hereof, if Sufficient Bids have not been made.
(C) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.1.1(b) hereof, a
Bid by a Potential Certificateholder shall constitute an irrevocable offer

(1) the principal amount of an Outstanding Class
specified in such Bid if the Pass-Through Rate for such Class
determined as provided in this Section 2.1.1 shall be higher than the

the next higher one thousandth (.001) of one percent.
(iii)If an Order or Orders covering all of the Outstanding Class of
related Certificates owned by an Existing Certificateholder is not submitted to
the Auction Agent prior to the Submission Deadline, the Auction Agent shall deem
a Hold Order to have been submitted on behalf of such Existing Certificateholder
covering the principal amount of an Outstanding Class owned by such Existing
Certificateholder and not subject to an Order submitted to the Auction Agent.
(iv) Neither the Servicer, the Trustee nor the Auction Agent shall be
responsible for any failure of a Broker-Dealer to submit an Order to the Auction
Agent on behalf of any Existing Certificateholder or Potential
Certificateholder.
(v) If any Existing Certificateholder submits through a Broker-Dealer
to the Auction Agent one or more Orders covering in the aggregate more than the
principal amount of an Outstanding Class owned by such Existing
Certificateholder, such Orders shall be considered valid as follows and in the
following order of priority:
(A) All Hold Orders shall be considered valid, but only up to
the aggregate principal amount of an Outstanding Class owned by such Existing
Certificateholder, and if the aggregate principal amount of such Class of
subject to such Hold Orders exceeds the aggregate principal amount of such Class
owned by such Existing Certificateholder, the aggregate principal amount of such
Class subject to each such Holder Order shall be reduced pro rata so that the
aggregate principal amount of such Class subject to such Hold Order equals the
aggregate principal amount of an Outstanding Class owned by such Existing
Certificateholder.
Schedule I-8
(B) (1) any Bid shall be considered valid up to an amount
equal to the excess of the principal amount of an Outstanding Class owned by
such Existing Certificateholder over the aggregate principal amount of such
Class subject to any Hold Order referred to in clause (A) of this paragraph
(v);
(2) subject to subclause (1) of this clause (B), if more
than one Bid with the same rate is submitted on behalf of such Existing
Certificateholder and the aggregate principal amount an Outstanding Class
subject to such Bids is greater than such excess, such Bids shall be
considered valid up to an amount equal to such excess;
(3) subject to subclauses (1) and (2) of this clause (B),
if more than one Bid with different rates are submitted on behalf of such
Existing Certificateholder, such Bids shall be considered valid first in
the ascending order of their respective rates until the highest rate is
reached at which such excess exists and then at such rate up to the amount
of such excess; and
(4) in any such event, the amount of the an Outstanding
Class, if any, subject to Bids not valid under this clause (B) shall be
treated as the subject of a Bid by a Potential Certificateholder at the
rate therein specified; and
(C) All Sell Orders shall be considered valid up to an amount
equal to the excess of the principal amount of an Outstanding owned by such
Existing Certificateholder over the aggregate principal amount of such Class
subject to Hold Orders referred to in clause (A) of this paragraph (v) and
valid Bids referred to in clause (B) of this paragraph (v).
(vi) If more than one Bid is submitted on behalf of any Potential
Certificateholder, each Bid submitted shall be a separate Bid with the rate
and principal amount therein specified.
(vii) An Existing Certificateholder that offers to purchase
additional Certificates of any Class is, for purposes of such offer, treated
as a Potential Certificateholder.
(viii) Any Bid or Sell Order submitted by an Existing
Certificateholder covering an aggregate principal amount of a Class not equal
to an Authorized Denomination shall be rejected and shall be deemed a Hold
Order. Any Bid submitted by a Potential Certificateholder covering an
aggregate principal amount of a Class not equal to an Authorized Denomination
shall be rejected.
(ix) Any Bid specifying a rate higher than the Maximum Auction Rate
will (a) be treated as a Sell Order if submitted by an Existing
Certificateholder and (b) not be accepted if submitted by a Potential
Certificateholder.
(x) Any Order submitted in an Auction by a Broker-Dealer to the
Auction Agent at the Submission Deadline on any Auction Date shall be
irrevocable.
Schedule I-9
(c) (i) Not earlier than the Submission Deadline on each Auction
Date, the Auction Agent shall assemble all valid Orders submitted or deemed
submitted to it by the Broker-Dealers (each such Order as submitted or deemed
submitted by a Broker-Dealer being herein referred to individually as a
"Submitted Hold Order," a "Submitted Bid" or a "Submitted Sell Order," as the
case may be, or as a "Submitted Order," and collectively as "Submitted Hold
Orders," "Submitted Bids" or "Submitted Sell Orders," as the case may be, or as
"Submitted Orders") and shall determine:
(A) the excess of the total principal amount of an
Outstanding Class over the sum of the aggregate principal amount of
Outstanding Class subject to Submitted Hold Orders (such excess being
herein referred to as the "Available Certificates" of such Class), and
(B) from the Submitted Orders whether:
(1) the aggregate principal amount of an
Outstanding Class of related Certificates subject to Submitted Bids by
Potential Certificateholders specifying one or more rates equal to or
lower than the Maximum Auction Rate;
exceeds or is equal to the sum of:
(2) the aggregate principal amount of an
Outstanding Class subject to Submitted Bids by Existing
Certificateholders specifying one or more rates higher than the
Maximum Auction Rate; and
(3) the aggregate principal amount of an
Outstanding Class of related Certificates subject to submitted Sell
Orders;
(in the event such excess or such equality exists, other than because all of the
Outstanding Class of a Class is subject to Submitted Hold Orders, such Submitted
Bids described in subclause (1) above shall be referred to collectively as
"Sufficient Bids"); and
(C) if Sufficient Bids exist, the "Bid Auction Rate",
which shall be the lowest rate specified in such Submitted Bids such that
if:
(1) (x) each Submitted Bid from Existing
Certificateholders specifying such lowest rate and (y) all other
Submitted Bids from Existing Certificateholders specifying lower rates
were rejected, thus entitling such Existing Certificateholders to
continue to own the principal amount of such Class subject to such
Submitted Bids; and
(2) (x) each such Submitted Bid from Potential
Certificateholders specifying such lowest rate and (y) all other
Submitted Bids from Potential Certificateholders specifying lower
rates were accepted;
the result would be that such Existing Certificateholders described in subclause
(1) above would continue to own an aggregate principal amount of an Outstanding
Class which, when added to
Schedule I-10
the aggregate principal amount of an Outstanding Class to be purchased by such
Potential Certificateholders described in subclause (2) above, would equal not
less than the Available Certificates of such Class.
(ii) Promptly after the Auction Agent has made the
determinations pursuant to Section 2.1.1(c)(i) hereof, the Auction Agent
shall advise the Trustee of the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate (as
provided by the Trustee pursuant to Section 2.1.3 hereof), the Maximum
Auction Rate and the All Hold Rate and the components thereof on the
Auction Date and, based on such determinations, the Auction Rate for the
next succeeding Interest Accrual Period as follows:
(A) if Sufficient Bids exist, that the Auction Rate for
the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to the Bid
Auction Rate so determined;
(B) if Sufficient Bids do not exist (other than because
all of an Outstanding Class is subject to Submitted Hold Orders), that the
Auction Rate for the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period shall be equal
to the Maximum Auction Rate;
(C) if all the Outstanding Class of related Certificates
is subject to Submitted Hold Orders, that the Auction Rate for the next
succeeding Interest Accrual Period shall be equal to the All Hold Rate; or
(D) if a scheduled Auction is not being held for any
reason, the Auction Rate for the next succeeding Interest Accrual Period
shall be equal to the Maximum Auction Rate.
(iii) Promptly after the Auction Agent has determined the Auction
Rate, the Auction Agent shall determine and advise the Trustee of the
applicable Pass-Through Rate, which rate shall be the lesser of (a) the
Auction Rate and (b) the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate.
(d) Existing Certificateholders shall continue to own the principal
amount of Class A Certificates that are subject to Submitted Hold Orders. If the
Net Weighted Average Contract Rate is equal to or greater than the Bid Auction
Rate and if Sufficient Bids have been received by the Auction Agent, the Bid
Auction Rate will be the Pass-Through Rate for the related Class, and Submitted
Bids and Submitted Sell Orders will be accepted or rejected and the Auction
Agent will take such other action as described below in subparagraph (i).
If the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate is less than the
Auction Rate, the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate will be the applicable
Pass-Through Rate. If the Auction Agent has not received Sufficient Bids (other
than because all of the Outstanding Class of Certificates of such Class are
subject to Submitted Hold Orders), the applicable Pass-Through Rate will be the
lesser of the Maximum Auction Rate and the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate.
In any of the cases described above, Submitted Orders will be accepted or
rejected and the Auction Agent will take such other action as described below in
subparagraph (ii).
(i) if Sufficient Bids have been made and the Net Weighted
Average Contract Rate is equal to or greater than the Bid Auction Rate (in
which case the
Schedule I-11
applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be the Bid Auction Rate), all Submitted Sell
Orders shall be accepted and, subject to the provisions of paragraphs (iv) and
(v) of this Section 2.1.1(d), Submitted Bids shall be accepted or rejected as
follows in the following order of priority, and all other Submitted Bids shall
be rejected:
(A) Existing Certificateholders' Submitted Bids specifying any
rate that is higher than the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be accepted,
thus requiring each such Existing Certificateholder to sell to aggregate
principal amount of the related subject to such Submitted Bids;
(B) Existing Certificateholders' Submitted Bids specifying any
rate that is lower than the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be rejected, thus
entitling each such Existing Certificateholder to continue to own the aggregate
principal amount of Certificates of such Class subject to such Submitted Bids;
(C) Potential Certificateholders' Submitted Bids specifying any
rate that is lower than the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be accepted;
(D) Each Existing Certificateholders' Submitted Bid specifying
a rate that is equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be rejected, thus
entitling such Existing Certificateholder to continue to own the aggregate
principal amount of related Certificates subject to such Submitted Bid, unless
the aggregate principal amount of an Outstanding Class subject to all such
Submitted Bids shall be greater than the principal amount of such Class (the
"remaining principal amount") equal to the excess of the Available Certificates
for such Class over the aggregate principal amount of such Class subject to
Submitted Bids described in clauses (B) and (C) of this Section 2.1.1(d)(i), in
which event such Submitted Bid of such Existing Certificateholder shall be
rejected in part, and such Existing Certificateholder shall be entitled to
continue to own the principal amount of such Class subject to such Submitted
Bid, but only in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of such Class
obtained by multiplying the remaining principal amount by a fraction, the
numerator of which shall be the principal amount of an Outstanding Class owned
by such Existing Certificateholder subject to such Submitted Bid and the
denominator of which shall be the sum of the principal amount of such Class
subject to such Submitted Bids made by all such Existing Certificateholders that
specified a rate equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate; and
(E) Each Potential Certificateholder's Submitted Bid specifying
a rate that is equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be accepted, but
only in an amount equal to the principal amount of such Class obtained by
multiplying the excess of the aggregate principal amount of Available
Certificates of such Class over the aggregate principal amount of such Class
subject to Submitted Bids described in clauses (B), (C) and (D) of this Section
2.1.1 (d)(i) by a fraction the numerator of which shall be the aggregate
principal amount of an Outstanding Class subject to such Submitted Bid and the
denominator of which shall be the sum of the principal amount of an Outstanding
Class subject to Submitted Bids made by all such Potential Certificateholders
that specified a rate equal to the applicable Pass-Through Rate.
Schedule I-12
(ii) If Sufficient Bids have not been made (other than because all
of the an Outstanding Class are subject to submitted Hold Orders), or if the Net
Weighted Average Contract Rate is less than the Bid Auction Rate (in which case
the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be the Net Weighted Average Contract
Rate), Submitted Orders shall be accepted or rejected as follows in the
following order of priority and all other Submitted Bids shall be rejected:
(A) Existing Certificateholders' Submitted Bids specifying any
rate that is equal to or lower than the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall be
rejected, thus entitling such Existing Certificateholders to continue to own the
aggregate principal amount of Certificates of such Class subject to such
Submitted Bids;
(B) Potential Certificateholders' Submitted Bids specifying (1)
any rate that is equal to or lower than the applicable Pass-Through Rate shall
be accepted and (2) any rate that is higher than the applicable Pass-Through
Rate shall be rejected; and
(C) Each Existing Certificateholder's Submitted Bid specifying
any rate that is higher than the applicable Pass-Through Rate and the Submitted
Sell Order of each Existing Certificateholder shall be accepted, thus entitling
each Existing Certificateholder that submitted any such Submitted Bid or
Submitted Sell Order to sell the Certificates of a Class subject to such
Submitted Bid or Submitted Sell Order, but in both cases only in an amount equal
to the aggregate principal amount of such Class obtained by multiplying the
aggregate principal amount of such Class subject to Submitted Bids described in
clause (B) of this Section 2.1.1 (d)(ii) by a fraction the numerator of which
shall be the aggregate principal amount of such Outstanding Class owned by such
Existing Certificateholder subject to such submitted Bid or Submitted Sell Order
and the denominator of which shall be the aggregate principal amount of such
Outstanding Class subject to all such Submitted Bids and Submitted Sell Orders.
(iii) If all of an Outstanding Class is subject to Submitted Hold
Orders, all Submitted Bids shall be rejected.
(iv) If, as a result of the procedures described in paragraph (i) or
(ii) of this Section 2.1.1(d), any Existing Certificateholder would be entitled
or required to sell, or any Potential Certificateholder would be entitled or
required to purchase, a principal amount of Certificates of a Class that is not
equal to an Authorized Denomination, the Auction Agent shall, in such manner as
in its sole discretion it shall determine, round up or down the principal amount
of such Class to be purchased or sold by any Existing Certificateholder or
Potential Certificateholder so that the principal amount of such Class purchased
or sold by each Existing Certificateholder or Potential Certificateholder shall
be equal to an Authorized Denomination or an integral multiple of $25,000 in
excess thereof.
(v) If, as a result of the procedures described in paragraph (ii)
of this Section 2.1.1(d), any Potential Certificateholder would be entitled or
required to purchase less than an Authorized Denomination of any Class, the
Auction Agent shall, in such
Schedule I-13
manner as in its sole discretion it shall determine, allocate such Class
for purchase among Potential Certificateholders so that only Certificates
of such Class in Authorized Denominations or integral multiples of $25,000
in excess thereof are purchased by any Potential Certificateholder, even if
such allocation results in one or more of such Potential Certificateholders
not purchasing any such Class of Certificates.
(e) Based on the result of each Auction, the Auction Agent shall
determine the aggregate principal amount of Certificates of a Class to be
purchased and the aggregate principal amount of such Class to be sold by
Potential Certificateholders and Existing Certificateholders on whose behalf
each Broker-Dealer submitted Bids or Sell Orders and, with respect to each
Broker-Dealer, to the extent that such aggregate principal amount of such Class
to be sold differs from such aggregate principal amount of such Class to be
purchased, determine to which other Broker-Dealer or Broker-Dealers acting for
one or more purchasers such Broker-Dealer shall deliver, or from which other
Broker-Dealer or Broker-Dealers acting for one or more sellers such Broker-
Dealer shall receive, as the case may be, Certificates of such Class.
(f) Any calculation by the Auction Agent, the Servicer or the
Trustee, as applicable, of a Pass-Through Rate, LIBOR, the Maximum Auction Rate,
the All Hold Rate and the Net Weighted Average Contract Rate shall, in the
absence of manifest error, be binding on all other parties.
SECTION 2.1.2 Auction Agent Fees and Expenses.
The Auction Agent Fee will be paid by the Holder of the Class R
Certificates pursuant to the Auction Agent Agreement.
SECTION 2.1.3 Calculation of Maximum Auction Rate, All Hold Rate, Net
Weighted Average Contract Rate and One-Month LIBOR.
The Trustee shall inform the Auction Agent of the Net Weighted Average Contract
Rate applicable to each Class in writing no later than the Business Day
preceding each Auction Date as calculated by Servicer pursuant to Section
5.04(r)(ii) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The Auction Agent shall
calculate the Maximum Auction Rate, the All Hold Rate and LIBOR, on each Auction
Date and shall notify the Trustee, the Servicer and the Broker-Dealers of the
Net Weighted Average Contract Rate, the Maximum Auction Rate, the All Hold Rate
and LIBOR, as provided in the Auction Agent Agreement. If the ownership of any
Class is no longer maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Depository, the Trustee
shall calculate the Maximum Auction Rate and the Net Weighted Average Contract
Rate on the Business Day immediately preceding the first day of each related
Interest Accrual Period commencing after the delivery of certificates
representing such Class. The Auction Agent shall determine LIBOR for each
related Interest Accrual Period other than the Initial Period; provided, that if
the ownership of a Class is no longer maintained in Book-Entry Form, then the
Trustee shall determine LIBOR for each such Interest Accrual Period. The
determination by the Trustee or the Auction Agent, as the case may be, of LIBOR
shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.
Schedule I-14
SECTION 2.1.4 Notification of Rates, Amounts and Remittance Dates.
Promptly after the Closing Date and after the beginning of each subsequent
Interest Accrual Period and in any event at least 10 days prior to any
Distribution Date, the Trustee shall confirm with the Auction Agent, so long as
the ownership of any Class is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Depository
the date of such next Distribution Date.
If any day scheduled to be a Distribution Date shall be changed after the
Trustee shall have given the notice or confirmation referred to in the preceding
sentence, the Trustee shall, not later than 9:15 a.m., eastern time, on the
Business Day next preceding the earlier of the new Distribution Date or the old
Distribution Date, by such means as the Trustee deems practicable, give notice
of such change to the Auction Agent and the Depository, so long as the ownership
of any is maintained in Book-Entry Form by the Depository.
SECTION 2.1.5 Auction Agent.
(a) Bankers Trust Company is hereby appointed as Initial Auction
Agent to serve as agent for the Trustee in connection with Auctions. The Trustee
will enter into the Initial Auction Agent Agreement with Bankers Trust Company,
as the Initial Auction Agent. Any Substitute Auction Agent shall be (i) a bank,
national banking association or trust company duly organized under the laws of
the United States of America or any state or territory thereof having its
principal place of business in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, or such other
location as approved by the Trustee and the Market Agent in writing and having a
combined capital stock or surplus of at least $50,000,000, or (ii) a member of
the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., having a capitalization of
at least $50,000,000, and, in either case, authorized by law to perform all the
duties imposed upon it hereunder and under the Auction Agent Agreement. The
Auction Agent may at any time resign and be discharged of the duties and
obligations created by these Auction Procedures by giving at least 90 days'
notice to the Trustee, the Class R Certificateholders, the Servicer and the
Market Agent. The Auction Agent may be removed at any time by the Trustee or the
Certificateholders of 66-2/3% of the aggregate principal amount of the Class A
Certificates then Outstanding, and if by such Certificateholders, by an
instrument signed by such Certificateholders or their attorneys and filed with
the Auction Agent, the Servicer, the Class R Certificateholders, the Market
Agent and the Trustee upon at least 90 days' notice. Neither resignation nor
removal of the Auction Agent pursuant to the preceding two sentences shall be
effective until and unless a Substitute Auction Agent has been appointed and has
accepted such appointment. If required by the Certificateholders of 66-2/3% of
the aggregate principal amount of the Class A Certificates then outstanding or
by the Market Agent, a Substitute Auction Agent Agreement shall be entered into
with a Substitute Auction Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Auction
Agent may terminate the Auction Agent Agreement if, within 25 days after
notifying the Trustee, the Servicer, the Holder of the Class R Certificates and
the Market Agent in writing that it has not received payment of any Auction
Agent Fee due it in accordance with the terms of the Auction Agent Agreement,
the Auction Agent does not receive such payment.
(b) If the Auction Agent shall resign or be removed or be dissolved,
or if the property or affairs of the Auction Agent shall be taken under the
control of any state or federal court or administrative body because of
bankruptcy or insolvency, or for any other reason, the
Schedule I-15
Trustee (after receipt of a certificate from the Market Agent confirming that
any proposed Substitute Auction Agent meets the requirements described in the
immediately preceding paragraph) shall use its best efforts to appoint a
Substitute Auction Agent.
(c) The Auction Agent is acting as agent for the Trustee in
connection with Auctions. In the absence of bad faith or negligence on its part,
the Auction Agent shall not be liable for any action taken, suffered or omitted
in good faith or for any error of judgment made by it in the performance of its
duties under the Auction Agent Agreement. The Auction Agent shall not be liable
for any error of judgment made in good faith unless the Auction Agent shall have
been negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
SECTION 2.1.6 Broker-Dealers.
(a) The Auction Agent will enter into a Broker-Dealer Agreement with
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc. ("Salomon") as the initial Broker-Dealer. The Servicer
may, from time to time, approve one or more additional persons to serve as
Broker-Dealers under Broker-Dealer Agreements and shall be responsible for
providing such Broker-Dealer Agreements to the Trustee and the Auction Agent,
provided, however that while Salomon is serving as the Market Agent, Salomon
shall have the right to consent to the approval of any additional Broker-
Dealers, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. The Auction Agent
shall have entered into a Broker-Dealer Agreement with each Broker-Dealer prior
to the participation of any such Broker-Dealer in any Auction.
(b) Any Broker-Dealer may be removed at any time, at the request of
the Servicer, but there shall, at all times, be at least one Broker-Dealer
appointed and acting as such.
SECTION 2.1.7 Changes in the Auction Date.
The Market Agent may specify an earlier or later Auction Date for any Class (but
in no event more than five Business Days earlier or later) than the Auction Date
that would otherwise be determined in accordance with the definition of "Auction
Date" in Article 1 of these Auction Procedures with respect to one or more
specified Interest Accrual Periods in order to conform with then current market
practice with respect to similar securities or to accommodate economic and
financial factors that may affect or be relevant to the day of the week
constituting an Auction Date and the applicable Pass-Through Rate. The Market
Agent shall provide notice of its determination to specify an earlier or later
Auction Date for one or more Interest Accrual Periods by means of a written
notice delivered at least 10 days prior to the proposed changed Auction Date to
the Trustee, the Auction Agent, the Servicer and the Depository.
In connection with any change described in this Section 2.1.7, the Auction Agent
shall provide such further notice to such parties as is specified in Section 2.5
of the Auction Agent Agreement.
SECTION 2.2 Additional Provisions Regarding the Pass-Through Rates on the
-------------------------------------------------------------
Class A Certificates.
--------------------
The determination of a applicable Pass-Through Rate by the Auction Agent, the
Trustee or any other Person pursuant to the provisions of the applicable Section
of this Article 2 shall be
Schedule I-16
conclusive and binding on the Certificateholders of a Class to which such Pass-
Through Rate applies, and the Trustee may rely thereon for all purposes.
In no event shall the cumulative amount of interest paid or payable on any Class
(including interest calculated as provided herein, plus any other amounts that
constitute interest on any Class under applicable law, which are contracted for,
charged, reserved, taken or received pursuant to such Class or related
documents) calculated from the date of issuance of such Class through any
subsequent day during the term of the applicable Auction Rate or otherwise prior
to payment in full of such Class exceed the amount permitted by applicable law.
If the applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious
any amount called for under any Class or related documents or otherwise
contracted for, charged, reserved, taken or received in connection with such
Class, or if the acceleration of the maturity of any Class results in payment to
or receipt by the Certificateholder or any former Certificateholder of such
Class of any interest in excess of that permitted by applicable law, then,
notwithstanding any provision of such Class or related documents to the
contrary, all excess amounts theretofore paid or received with respect to such
Class shall be credited on the principal balance of such Class (or, if such
Class has been paid or would thereby be paid in full, refunded by the recipient
thereof), and the provisions of the such Class and related documents shall
automatically and immediately be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter
collectible hereunder and thereunder reduced, without the necessity of the
execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so
as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for under such
Class and under the related documents.
SECTION 2.3 Qualifications of Market Agent.
------------------------------
The Market Agent shall be a member of the National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., have a capitalization of at least $50,000,000 and be authorized
by law to perform all the duties imposed upon it by these Auction Procedures.
The Market Agent may resign and be discharged of the duties and obligations
created by these Auction Procedures by giving at least 30 days' notice to the
Trustee, the Auction Agent and the Servicer, provided that such resignation
shall not be effective until the appointment of a successor market agent by the
Servicer and the acceptance of such appointment by such successor market agent.
The Market Agent may be replaced at the direction of the Servicer, by an
instrument signed by an officer of the Servicer, filed with the Market Agent and
the Trustee at least 30 days before the effective date of such replacement,
provided that such replacement shall not be effective until the appointment of a
successor market agent by the Servicer and the acceptance of such appointment by
such successor market agent.
In the event that the Market Agent shall be removed or be dissolved, or if the
property or affairs of the Market Agent shall be taken under the control of any
state or federal court or administrative body because of bankruptcy or
insolvency, or for any other reason, and there is no Market Agent and the
Servicer shall not have appointed its successor as Market Agent, the Trustee,
notwithstanding the provisions of the first paragraph of this Section, shall be
deemed to be the Market Agent for all purposes of these Auction Procedures until
the appointment by the Servicer of the successor Market Agent. Nothing in this
Section shall be construed as conferring on the Trustee additional duties other
than as set forth herein.

GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-5
evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the
Class A-[1][2][3] Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting
primarily of a pool of conventional manufactured housing contracts (the
"Contracts") formed and sold by
GreenPoint Credit, LLC (the "Contract Seller")
which manufactured housing contracts were originated or acquired by Contract
Seller, and are initially serviced by GreenPoint Credit, LLC (the "Servicer").
Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set
forth herein. Accordingly, the Certificate Balance at any time may be less than
the Certificate Balance as set forth herein. Neither this Certificate nor the
Contracts are insured or guaranteed by the Contract Seller, the Servicer or the
Trustee referred to below or any of their respective Affiliates or by any
governmental agency or instrumentality.
This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the denomination of
this Certificate by the aggregate of the denominations of all Class A-[1][2][3]
Certificates) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting of the Contracts deposited by the Contract Seller. The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1,
2000 (the "Agreement"), between GreenPoint Credit, LLC, as Contract Seller and
Servicer, and Bank One, National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). To the
extent not defined herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings
assigned in the Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to
the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the
Holder of this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by
which such Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the
[4/th/][11th][14th] day of each month or, if such [4/th/][11th][14th] day is not
a Business Day, the Business Day immediately following (the "Distribution
Date"), commencing on the first Distribution Date specified above, to the Person
in whose name this Certificate is registered at the close of business on the
applicable Record Date in an amount equal to the product of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate and the Class A-[1][2][3] Distribution
Amount on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.02 of the Agreement. The
Record Date applicable to each Distribution Date is the close of business on the
day preceding such Distribution Date. Distributions to the Holder of this Class
A-[1][2][3] Certificate shall be applied first to interest and then to
principal.
Distributions on this Certificate shall be made by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall hold Class A-
[1][2][3] Certificates evidencing a Percentage Interest aggregating 10% or more
or, if not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such
Certificateholder appearing in the

like manner, but only upon presentment and surrender of such Certificate at the

GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-5
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-5 issued in four Classes (Class ▇-▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇-▇, Class

representing a beneficial ownership interest, as described in the Agreement, in
(i) the related Contracts, (ii) the distributions thereon on or after the Cut-

such assets as are deposited therein from time to time and any investments
thereof, together, in each case, with any and all income, proceeds and payments
with respect thereto.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the Certificate Account for
payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the Certificateholders
for any amount payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as
expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the
Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a Majority In Interest of each Class of Regular Certificates affected
by such amendment. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the transfer hereof or in
exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation of such consent is
made upon this Certificate. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.

Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
Exhibit C-1
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the
Contract Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither
of the Contract Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.

Enhancement Payment has been made and not yet reimbursed, the Servicer may only
exercise this option with the consent of the Insurer, provided, further, that if

purchase price of such Contracts shall in no event be less than the Minimum
Termination Amount as of the Distribution Date on which the Holders of the Class
R Certificates purchase such Contracts.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Servicer may request that the Trustee conduct an auction (a "Termination
Auction") by soliciting bids for the purchase of all Contracts remaining in the
Trust Fund, and in any event, if the Servicer has not exercised the option
described in the preceding paragraph within ninety days following the
Distribution Date as of which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than
10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance, the Trustee shall conduct such
termination auction. In the event that satisfactory bids are received as
described in the Agreement, the net sale proceeds will be distributed to
Certificateholders, in the same order of priority as collections received in
respect of the Contracts. A satisfactory bid is one in which the purchase price
of the Contracts then outstanding is at least equal to the Minimum Termination
Amount (as hereinafter defined) plus any unreimbursed Enhancement Payment, plus
any other amounts due and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Agreement or
pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, plus any unreimbursed Draw Amounts. Such a
bid must be made in accordance with certain auction procedures set forth in the
Agreement, which include a requirement that the Trustee receive good faith bids
for such Contracts from at least two prospective purchasers (at least one of
whom is not the Contract Seller or an affiliate thereof) that are considered by
the Trustee, in its sole discretion, to be (i) competitive participants in the
market for manufactured housing installment sale contracts or installment loan
agreements and (ii) willing and able purchasers of such Contracts. As of any
time after the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-Off
Date Pool Principal Balance, the "Minimum Termination Amount" is an amount equal
to the respective Certificate Balances of all Classes of Certificates that
remain outstanding as of such time, together with any shortfall in interest due
on such Certificates in respect of prior Distribution Dates and one month's
interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rates on such Certificate Balances. A
sale and consequent termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to a Termination
Auction must constitute a "qualified liquidation" of the Trust Fund under
Section 860F of the Code, including the requirement that the qualified
liquidation takes place over a period not to exceed 90 days. If satisfactory
bids are not received, the Trustee shall decline to sell the Contracts and shall
not be under any obligation to solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate
any further sale of the Contracts.
Any purchase pursuant to a Termination Auction or by the Servicer will be
made at the price specified in the Agreement. In the event that no such early
termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the
Agreement will terminate upon the later of the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Contract remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition
of all REO Property in respect thereof and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the
Exhibit C-3
last survivor of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of the
certain person named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

Exhibit D-2
GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-5
evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the
Class R Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily
of a pool of conventional manufactured housing contracts (the
"Contracts") formed and sold by
GreenPoint Credit, LLC (the "Contract Seller")
which manufactured housing contracts were originated or acquired by Contract
Seller, and are initially serviced by GreenPoint Credit, LLC (the "Servicer").
Neither this Certificate nor the Contracts are insured or guaranteed
by the Contract Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of
their respective Affiliates or by any governmental agency or instrumentality.
This certifies that __________ is the registered owner of the
Percentage Interest evidenced by this Certificate in certain monthly
distributions with respect to a Trust Fund consisting of the Contracts deposited
by the Contract Seller. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of September 1, 2000 (the "Agreement"), between
GreenPoint Credit, LLC, as Contract Seller and Servicer, and Bank One, National
Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound
including, but not limited to, Section 11.12 thereof.
The Trustee will cause to be distributed to the Class R
Certificateholder the amounts to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to the
terms of the Agreement. Such distributions will be made by check mailed to the
address of the Person entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the
Certificate Register or by wire or other transfer of immediately available funds
if such Person has given the Trustee written instructions at least ten days
prior to the related Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the above, the final
distribution on this Class R Certificate will be made only upon presentation and
surrender of this Class R Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or the
office or agency maintained by the Trustee for such purpose.
No transfer of this Class R Certificate will be made unless the
Trustee has received either (i) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Contract Seller and the Servicer
with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee
Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975
of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and stating, among other things, that
the transferee's acquisition of Class R Certificate will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Servicer, the Contract Seller
or the Trustee to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in
the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the
Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan
subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the
Code (a "Plan"), or any other
Exhibit D-3
person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any
Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate
with "plan assets" of any Plan.
No transfer of a Class R Certificate shall be made unless such
transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of
1933, as amended, (the "Act"), or is made in accordance with said Act. In the
event that such a transfer is to be made, the prospective transferee of such
Certificate shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Contract Seller and
the Servicer with an investment letter substantially in the form described by
the Agreement, as required under Section 6.02 of the Agreement. The Holder
hereof desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to,
indemnify the Trustee, the Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Certificate
Registrar acting on behalf of the Trustee against any liability that may result
if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with the Act or
any similar state laws.
Each Holder of this Class R Certificate will be deemed to have agreed
to be bound by the restrictions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement, including but
not limited to the restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee,
(ii) no Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate may be transferred
without delivery to the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed
transferee and (b) a transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such
documents to be in the form described in the Agreement, (iii) each person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must
agree to require a transfer affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to
the Trustee as required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or
acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must agree not to
transfer an Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate if it has actual
knowledge that the proposed transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Class R
Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void
and will vest no rights in the purported transferee.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate
set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the
Agreement or be valid for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication

COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. That he/she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record
or beneficial owner of the GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-5, Class R (the "Owner")), a [savings
institution][corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of ____________][the United States], on behalf of which he/she makes this
affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a disqualified
organization, (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified
organization for so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R
Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own
account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an
affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and
agreement. (For this purpose, a "disqualified organization" means (a) a
"disqualified organization" as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (b) the United States, any State
or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States, or any
agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality
which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except
for the FHLMC, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such
governmental unit), (c) a foreign government, any international organization, or
any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (d) any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code)
which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax
imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income), (e)
rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of
the Code, (f) any Person "electing large partnership" within the meaning of
Section 775 of the Code and (g) any other Person so designated by the Trustee
based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate by such Person may cause the Trust Fund, or any Person
having an Ownership Interest in any Class of Certificates (other than such
Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that
would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a Certificate to such Person. The terms "United States", "State" and
"international organization" shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701
of the Code or successor provisions.)
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed
on transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the
Code; (ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is
through an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a
disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable
for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee
furnishes to
Exhibit G-1-1
such person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified organization
and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual knowledge that
the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates may be
"noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of
the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass through entity" includes a
regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject
to the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code, or an
investment manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan, or any other
Person acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any
Certificate with "plan assets" of any such plan.
6. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly
agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.
7. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the
face of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(c) of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement") under which the Class R
Certificates were issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section
6.02(c) which authorize the Trustee and the Servicer to deliver payments to a
person other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale in the event the
Owner holds such Certificates in violation of Section 6.02(c)). The Owner
expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and
provisions.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the provisions of the Agreement
defining the obligations of the REMIC Administrator (as defined in the
Agreement) and hereby assumes such obligations of the REMIC Administrator and
delegates such duties to the Servicer (as defined in the Agreement); provided,
however, that such delegation will not relieve the Owner of its obligations as
REMIC Administrator. The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply
with such provisions.
9. That the Owner has reviewed the provisions of that certain
Auction Agent Agreement (the "Auction Agent Agreement"), dated as of September
27, 2000, among Bankers Trust Company (the "Auction Agent"), Bank One, National
Association, in its capacity as Trustee under the Agreement (the "Trustee") and
GreenPoint Bank ("GreenPoint"), in its capacity as Holder of the Class R
Certificates (as defined in the Auction Agent Agreement) and that certain

Exhibit G-1-2
27, 2000, among the Auction Agent, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc. (the "Broker-

Certificates to pay the Auction Agent Fee (as defined in the Auction Agent
Agreement) and the Broker-Dealer Fee (as defined in the Broker-Dealer Agreement)
and hereby assumes such obligations of the Holder of the Class R Certificates.
The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply with such provisions.
10. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
11. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ____________.
12. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.
13. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of
the Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collections of any tax.
14. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate
that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
15. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
16. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States state thereof (including the District of Columbia),
or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States.

Re: GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2000-5
----------------------------------------
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
________(the "Transferor") to _________(the "Buyer") of $___________Initial
Principal Balance of GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Pass-
Through Certificates, Series 2000-5, Class R (the "Certificates"), issued
pursuant to Section 6.02(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated as of September 1, 2000 between GreenPoint Credit, LLC, as
Contract Seller and Servicer, and Bank One, National Association, as the
Trustee. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings
set forth in the Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies, represents and
warrants to, and covenants with, the Contract Seller and the Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the
Certificate by the Transferor to the Buyer is or will be to impede the
assessment or collection of any tax.
2. The Transferor understands that the Buyer has delivered to the Trustee
and the Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit G-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any
representation contained therein is false.
3. The Transferor has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the Buyer as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that
investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Buyer has historically
paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Buyer will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in
the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of a Class R
Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated
therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.
4. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed Buyer is not
both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.
Exhibit G-2-1
5. The Transferor further certifies that (a) we understand that such
Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), and are being disposed of by us in a transaction that is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, (b) neither the Transferor
nor anyone acting on its behalf has (i) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or
otherwise transferred any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any
other similar security from any person in any manner, (ii) solicited any offer
to buy or to accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of any Certificate,
any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security from any person in
any manner, (iii) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security from
any person in any manner, (iv) made any general solicitation by means of general
advertising or in any other manner, or (v) taken any other action, that (as to
any of (i) through (iv) above) would constitute a distribution of the
Certificates under the Act, that would render the disposition of any Certificate
a violation of Section 5 of the Act or any state securities law, or that would
require registration or qualification pursuant thereto, or (c) to the extent
such transfer is pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act, we have not offered the
Certificates to anyone other than a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined
in Rule 144A and the Act. The Transferor will not act in any manner set forth in
the foregoing sentence with respect to any Certificate. The Transferor has not
and will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Certificates, except in
compliance with the provisions of the Agreement.
Very truly yours,

its capacity under the Agreement will select a successor Advisor and
inform the Trustee of its actions.

15 Business Days before the Auction Termination Date. Bidders will be
required to submit

any due diligence questions in writing to the Advisor for
determination of their relevancy, no later than 10 Business Days
before the Auction Termination Date. The Servicer and the Advisor
will be required to satisfy all relevant questions at least five
Business Days prior to the Auction Termination Date and distribute
the questions and answers to all bidders.
II. Auction Process
---------------
(a) The Advisor, any underwriter, or any Certificate Owner will be
allowed to bid in the Auction, but will not be required to do so.
(b) The Servicer will also be allowed to bid in the Termination Auction
if it deems appropriate, but will not be required to do so.
(c) On the Auction Termination Date, all bids will be due by facsimile to
the offices of the Trustee by 1:00 p.m. New York City time, with the
winning bidder to be notified by 2:00 p.m. New York City time. All
acceptable bids (as described in Section 10.01 (b) of the Agreement)
will be due on a conforming basis on the bid sheet contained in the
solicitation package.
(d) If the Trustee receives fewer than two market value bids from
participants in the market for manufactured housing installment sales
contracts and installment loan contracts willing and able to purchase
the Contracts, the Trustee shall decline to consummate the sale.
(e) Upon notification to the winning bidder, a good faith deposit equal
to one percent (1%) of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance will be
required to be wired to the Trustee upon acceptance of the bid. This
deposit, along with any interest income attributable to it, will be
credited to the purchase price but will not be refundable. The
trustee will establish a separate account for the acceptance of the
good faith deposit, until such time as the account is fully funded
and all monies are transferred into the Certificate Account, such
time not to be later than one Business Day before the related
Distribution Date (as described above).
(f) The winning bidder will receive on the Auction Termination Date a
copy of the draft Sale and Servicing Agreement and Servicer's
Representations and Warranties (which shall be substantially

3.01 of the Agreement).
(g) The Advisor will provide to the Trustee a letter concluding whether
or not the winning bid is a fair market value bid. The Advisor will
also provide such letter if it is the winning bidder. In the case
where the Advisor or the Servicer is the winning bidder it will
provide for market comparables and valuations in its letter.
(h) The Termination Auction will stipulate the Servicer be retained to
service the Contracts sold pursuant to the terms of the Agreement.
Exhibit J-2
(i) The Termination Auction will stipulate that such sale and consequent
termination of the Trust Fund must constitute a "qualified
liquidation" of the Trust Fund under Section 860F of the Code,
including the requirement that such liquidation take place over a
period not to exceed 90 days. The Trustee may, in its discretion,
require that the purchaser of the Contracts provide the Trustee with
an Opinion of Counsel to that effect.
