leading banks in the City of Minneapolis selected by the Calculation Agent are
quoting as of 11:00 A.M., Minnesota time, on such date to leading European banks
for United States dollar deposits for one month; provided, however, that if such
banks are not quoting as described above, LIBOR for such date will be LIBOR
applicable to the Accrual Period immediately preceding such Accrual Period; and
provided, further, that if the result of the foregoing would be for three
consecutive Payment Dates to base LIBOR on the rate applicable in the
immediately preceding Accrual Period, for such third consecutive Remittance Date

ARTICLE II
ESTABLISHMENT OF TRUST; TRANSFER OF CONTRACTS
SECTION 2.01 Closing.
(a) There is hereby created, by the Seller as settlor, a separate trust
which shall be known as Manufactured Housing Contract Senior/Subordinate Pass-
Through Certificate Trust 2001-4. By the execution and delivery of this
Agreement, the Seller has agreed that it will elect or will cause an election to
be made to treat the pool of assets comprising each of the Subsidiary REMIC,
Intermediate REMIC and Master REMIC, excluding the Staged-Funding Contract
Reserve Account, the obligation and related demand note of the Originator
pursuant to Section 3.06(c) and the Pre-Funding Account, as a REMIC. The Trust
shall be administered pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement for the
benefit of the Certificateholders.
(b) The Seller hereby transfers, assigns, delivers, sells, sets over and
otherwise conveys to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust, by execution of an
assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto,
(i) all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Initial
and Additional Contracts, including, without limitation, all right,
title and interest in and to the Collateral Security, all rights to
receive payments on or with respect to the Initial and Additional
Contracts (other than the principal and interest due on the Contracts
on or before the applicable Cut-off Date) and all rights of the Seller
under the Transfer Agreement,
(ii) all rights under every Hazard Insurance Policy relating to a
Manufactured Home securing an Initial or Additional Contract for the
benefit of the owner of such Contract,
(iii)all rights under all FHA/VA Regulations pertaining to any Initial or
Additional Contract that is an FHA/VA Contract,
(iv) all rights of the Seller under the Transfer Agreement,
(v) the proceeds from the Errors and Omissions Protection Policy and all
rights under any blanket hazard insurance policy to the extent they
relate to the Manufactured Homes,
(vi) all documents contained in the Contract Files and the Land-and-Home
Contract Files,
(vii)$3,330,868.54 paid by the Underwriters of the Certificates to the
Trustee by order of the Seller out of the proceeds of the sale of the
Certificates (which such
47
Underwriters shall, by order of the Trust, remit directly to the
Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account),
(viii)amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding Account, the Basis Risk
Reserve Fund and the Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund,
(ix) all rights under the Yield Maintenance Agreement, and
(x) all proceeds and products in any way derived from any of the
foregoing.
The Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts (consistent with
prudent lending practices) to cause each Staged-Funding Contract to be fully
disbursed on or before the Funding Termination Date. The additional payment
obligations of any Obligor attributable to any further disbursements on any
Staged-Funding Contract made on or before the Funding Termination Date shall
automatically become the property of the Trust, without further action by the
Seller or the Trust. The payment to the Seller by the Trust and the transfer of
additional obligations to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) and Section
3.06(c)(2) shall be a purchase by the Trust of qualified mortgages pursuant to a
fixed price contract within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
Although the parties intend that the conveyance of the Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the Contracts and the Collateral Security pursuant
to this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Instrument shall constitute a
purchase and sale and not a pledge of security for loans from the
Certificateholders, it is the intent of this Agreement that if such conveyances
are deemed to be a pledge of security for loans from the Certificateholders or
any other Persons including the Certificate Insurer (the "Secured Obligations"),
the parties intend that the rights and obligations of the parties to the Secured
Obligations shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The
parties also intend and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to
the Trustee, and the Seller does hereby grant to the Trustee, a perfected first-
priority security interest in the items designated in Section 2.01(b)(i) through
2.01(b)(x) above and in each Subsequent Transfer Instrument, and all proceeds
thereof, to secure the Secured Obligations, and that this Agreement shall
constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If the trust created by
this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person
under any Certificates or the Secured Obligations, the security interest created
hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed
to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

(1) Solely for purposes of Treas. Reg. 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), a hypothetical

date for the Contract with the latest maturity date has been designated as
the "latest possible maturity date" for each class of Certificates that
represents one or more of the "regular interests" in the Master REMIC.
(2) The Class A-IO Certificates will receive on each Remittance Date the
distribution on such Remittance Date to the Class I-AIO Interest under

tax purposes and pursuant to Treas. Reg. 1.860G-1(a)(2)(v), the Class A-IO
Certificates will be collectively entitled to 100% of the interest payable
on the Class I-AIO Interest.
(3) In addition to representing a regular interest in the Master REMIC, the

Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund and the Basis Risk Reserve Fund pursuant to
Sections 8.08 and 8.09.
(4) The Class B-3I Certificates are interest-only Certificates entitled to the
payment of the Class B-3I Distribution Amount. Nonetheless, solely for

The Seller does not represent that any Class of Regular Certificates will, in
fact, mature on any given date, except that each regular interest of the Master
REMIC will absolutely mature by the Assumed Final Maturity Date as indicated

(2) Each Class I-AIO Interest comprising the Class I-AIO Interest is entitled to

(1) Solely for purposes of Treas. Reg. 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), a hypothetical
Remittance Date in the month 14 months following the month of the maturity
date for the Contract with the latest maturity date has been designated as
the "latest possible maturity date" for each class of interests that
represents one or more of the "regular interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC.
The Seller does not represent that any Class of Uncertificated Subsidiary
Interests will, in fact, mature on any given date, except that each regular
interest of the Subsidiary REMIC will absolutely mature by the Assumed Final
Maturity Date as indicated above. The Class C Subsidiary Certificate is being
issued in a single Class and is hereby designated by the Seller as the sole
class of "residual interests" in the subsidiary REMIC for purposes of Section
860G(a)(2) of the Code.
(e) The Closing Date, which is the day on which each of the Subsidiary
REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC and the Master REMIC will issue all of its regular
and residual interests, is hereby designated as the "startup day" of each of the
Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC and the Master REMIC within the meaning
of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
(f) After the Closing Date, neither the Trustee, the Originator, the Seller
nor any Servicer shall:
(i) accept any contribution of assets to the Subsidiary REMIC, the
Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC,
57
(ii) dispose of any portion of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC
or the Master REMIC, other than as provided in Sections 3.06, 3.07 and
8.05,
(iii)engage in any "prohibited transaction," as defined in Sections
860F(a)(2) and (5) of the Code, except as may be contemplated by
Section 3.06(c),
(iv) accept any contribution after the Closing Date that is subject to the
tax imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code or
(v) engage in any activity or enter into any agreement that would result
in the receipt by the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the
Master REMIC of any "net income from foreclosure property" as defined
in Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code, unless, prior to any such action
set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) the Trustee shall
have received an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall
not be an expense of the Trust, stating that such action will not,
directly or indirectly,
(A) adversely affect the status of the Subsidiary REMIC, the
Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC or the status
of the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests as "regular interests"
in the Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the Class C Subsidiary
Certificate as the sole class of "residual interests" in the
Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the Uncertificated Intermediate
Interests as "regular interests" in the Intermediate REMIC, the
status of the Class C Intermediate Certificate as the sole class
of "residual interests" in the Intermediate REMIC, the status of
the Regular Certificates as "regular interests" in the Master
REMIC, or the status of the Class C Master Certificate as the
sole class of "residual interests" in the Master REMIC,
(B) affect the distributions payable hereunder to the
Certificateholders or
(C) result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon
the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC.
(g) Upon the acquisition of any real property (including interests in real
property), or any personal property incident thereto, in connection with the
default of a Contract, the Servicer and the Trustee (at the direction of the
Servicer) shall take, or cause to be taken, such action as is necessary to sell
or otherwise dispose of such property within such period as is then required by
the Code in order for such property to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Servicer and the
Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the
Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC of such property subsequent
to the period then permitted by the Code will not result in the imposition of
any taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate
REMIC or Master REMIC, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the
Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests, Class C
Subsidiary Certificate, Uncertificated Intermediate Interests, Class C
Intermediate Certificate, Regular Certificates or Class C Master
58
Certificate are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and
operate such real property, or any personal property incident thereto, so that
such property will not fail to qualify as "foreclosure property," as defined in
Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, and that the management, conservation,
protection and operation of such property will not result in the receipt by the
Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC of any "income from
nonpermitted assets," within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code.

(c) No Waivers. The terms of the Contract have not been waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by instruments or documents identified in the
Contract File or Land-and-Home Contract File, as applicable.
(d) Binding Obligation. The Contract is the legal, valid and binding
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.
(e) 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.
(f) Insurance Coverage. The Manufactured Home securing the Contract is
covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy in the amount required by Section 5.09.
Each Manufactured Home
60
secured by an FHA/VA Contract which was, at the time of origination of the
related Contract, located within a federally designated special flood hazard
area is covered by insurance coverage at least equal to that required by Section
5.09 or such lesser coverage as may be available under the federal flood
insurance program. With respect to any other Contract that is not an FHA/VA
Contract, the Originator has obtained:
(i) a statement from the Obligor's insurance agent that the Manufactured
Home was, at the time of origination of the Contract, not in a
federally designated special flood hazard area; or
(ii) evidence that, at the time of origination, flood insurance was in
effect, which coverage is at least equal to that required by Section
5.09 or such lesser coverage as may be available under the federal
flood insurance program.
All premiums due as of the Closing Date on such insurance have been paid in
full.
(g) Origination. The Contract was originated by a manufactured housing
dealer and purchased by the Originator, or originated by the Originator
directly, in the regular course of its business.
(h) Lawful Assignment. The Contract was not originated in and is not
subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer of
the Contract pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
Certificates, or the ownership of the Contract by the Trust, unlawful or render
the Contract unenforceable. The Seller has received all consents and approvals
necessary under the terms of the Contract to or of the transfer of the Contract
to the Trust.
(i) Compliance with Law. At the date of origination of the Contract, all
requirements of any federal and state laws, rules and regulations applicable to
the Contract, including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending and equal
credit opportunity laws, have been complied with, and the Originator shall for
at least the period of this Agreement, maintain in its possession, available for
the Trustee's inspection, and shall deliver to the Trustee upon demand, evidence
of compliance with all such requirements. Such compliance is not affected by
the Trust's ownership of the Contract.
(j) Contract in Force. The Contract has not been satisfied or subordinated
in whole or in part or rescinded, and the Manufactured Home securing the
Contract has not been released from the lien of the Contract in whole or in
part.
(k) Valid Security Interest. Each Contract (other than the Land-and-Home
Contracts) creates a valid and enforceable perfected first priority security
interest in favor of the Originator in the Manufactured Home covered thereby as
security for payment of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such Contract.
The Originator has assigned all of its right, title and interest in such
Contract, including the security interest in the Manufactured Home covered
thereby, to the Seller, and the Seller has assigned all of its right, title and
interest in such Contract, including the security interest in the Manufactured
Home covered thereby, to the Trustee. The Trustee has and will have under this
Agreement a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
61
Minnesota UCC) in such Contract and Manufactured Home, which security interest
is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable against creditors of and
purchasers from the Originator and the Seller.
Each Mortgage is a valid first lien in favor of the Seller on real property
securing the amount owed by the Obligor under the related Land-and-Home Contract
subject only to
(i) the lien of current real property taxes and assessments,
(ii) 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-and-Home Contract obtained by the Seller and
(iii)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.
Each Land-and-Home Contract is covered by an American Land Title Association, or
equivalent form, lender's title insurance policy. The Seller has assigned all
of its right, title and interest in such Land-and-Home Contract and related
Mortgage, including the security interest in the Manufactured Home covered
thereby, to the Trustee. The Trustee has and will have under this Agreement a
valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the Minnesota UCC) in such
Land-and-Home Contract, which security interest is prior to all other liens, and
is enforceable against creditors of and purchasers from the Originator and the
Seller.
The Contract constitutes an instrument, tangible chattel paper, and account
or a payment intangible within the meaning of the Minnesota UCC.
(l) Capacity of Parties. The signature(s) of the Obligor(s) on the
Contract are genuine and all parties to the Contract had full legal capacity to
execute the Contract.
(m) Good Title. In the case of a Contract purchased from a manufactured
housing dealer, the Originator purchased the Contract for fair value and took
possession thereof in the ordinary course of its business, without knowledge
that the Contract was subject to a security interest. Except for any pledge
terminated contemporaneously with or prior to the transfer of the Contract to
the Seller, the Originator has not sold, assigned, pledged, granted a security
interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Contract to any Person. The Originator
has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Originator that include a description of collateral covering the
Contract other than a financing statement relating to the security interest
granted to the Seller under the Transfer Agreement. The Originator is not aware
of any judgment or tax lien filings against the Originator. At the time of the
transfer of the Contract by the Originator to the Seller under the terms of the
Transfer Agreement, the Originator 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
62
transfer the Contract to the Seller. With respect to any Contract bearing a
stamp indicating that such Contract has been sold to another party, such other
party's interest in such Contract has been released.
(n) No Defaults. As of the applicable Cut-off Date, there was no default,
breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existing under the Contract
and no event which, with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under such Contract (except payment delinquencies permitted by
clause (b) above). The Originator has not waived any such default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration except payment delinquencies
permitted by clause (b) above. As of the Closing Date or the Subsequent
Transfer Date, as applicable, the related Manufactured Home is, to the best of
the Originator's knowledge, free of damage and in good repair. To the best of
the Originator's knowledge, no Manufactured Home has suffered damage that is not
covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy, including, but not limited to, hurricanes,
earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hailstorms, straight-line winds, sinkholes,
mudslides, volcanic eruptions, meteorites and other natural disasters.
(o) No Liens. As of the Closing Date or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as
applicable, there are, to the best of the Originator's 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.
(p) Equal Installments. Except for 22 Step-up Rate Contracts included
among the Initial Contracts and no Step-up Rate Contracts included among the
Additional Contracts, each Contract has a fixed Contract Rate and provides for
level monthly payments which fully amortize the loan over its term. Of the
Step-up Rate Contracts which are still bearing interest at their initial
Contract Rates, 20 provide for two rate increases and the remaining two provide
for a single rate increase.
(q) Enforceability. The Contract contains customary and enforceable
provisions so as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the collateral of the benefits of the
security provided thereby.
(r) One Original. There is only one original executed Contract (other than
the original executed copy retained by the Obligor), which Contract has been
delivered to the Trustee or its custodian on or before the Closing Date or the
Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable. The Custodian has acknowledged that it
holds the Contract solely as the Trustee's agent.
(s) Loan-to-Value Ratio. At the time of their origination all of the
Contracts had Loan-to-Value Ratios not greater than 100%.
(t) [RESERVED]
63
(u) Not Real Estate. With respect to each Contract other than a Land-and-
Home Contract, the related Manufactured Home 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.
(v) Notation of Security Interest. With respect to each Contract other
than a Land-and-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, the Originator or its assignee 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 under the UCC is
required to perfect a security interest in manufactured housing, such filings or
recordings have been duly made and show the Originator or its assignee as
secured party. If the related Manufactured Home secures a Land-and-Home
Contract, such Manufactured Home 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 the Seller 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 Seller and the Originator and any
trustee in bankruptcy of the Seller or the Originator) claiming an interest in
such Manufactured Home.
(w) Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act. The related Manufactured
Home is a "manufactured home" within the meaning of ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Code,
Section 5402(6). Each manufactured housing dealer from whom the Originator
purchased such Contract, if any, was then approved by the Originator in
accordance with the requirements of the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development set forth in 24 CFR (S) 201.27. At the origination of each
Contract, the Originator was approved for insurance by the Secretary of Housing
and Urban Development pursuant to Section 2 of the National Housing Act.
(x) Qualified Mortgage. The Contract represents a "qualified mortgage"
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code. The Originator represents
and warrants that, either as of the date of origination or the Closing Date, the
fair market value of the property securing each Contract was not less than 80%
of the "adjusted issue price" (within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) of
such Contract. Each Manufactured Home is a "single-family residence" which has
a minimum of 400 square feet of living space and a minimum width in excess of
102 inches and which is of a kind which is customarily used at a fixed location,
pursuant to the requirements of Section 25(e)(10) of the Code.
(y) Credit Life. No Obligor obtained a prepaid single-premium credit life
policy in connection with the origination of the Contract.
(z) Section 32. No Contract is subject to the Home Ownership and Equity
Protection Act of 1994, Regulation Z ("Section 32"), or any similar state law or
regulation including those relating to "high cost mortgages" and "high LTV
mortgages."
SECTION 3.03 Additional Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby
represents and warrants (a) and (b) below to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, as of the
64
Closing Date with respect to each Initial and Additional Contract and as of each
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent Contract identified on
the List of Contracts attached to the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument.
(a) Lawful Assignment. The Contract was not originated in and is not
subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer of
the Contract under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the Certificates

valid blanket assignment of the Contracts transferred to the Trust, and has
transferred all its right, title and interest in such Contracts. The blanket
assignment, any and all documents executed and delivered by the Seller pursuant
to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.03(b), and this Agreement each constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with its
respective terms.
(b) Good Title. The Seller is the sole owner of the Contract and has the
authority to sell, transfer and assign such Contract to the Trust under the
terms of this Agreement. The Seller has not sold, assigned, pledged, granted a
security interest in, or otherwise conveyed the Contract to any Person. Seller
has not authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements
against the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the
Contract other than a financing statement relating to the security interest
granted to the Trust hereunder. The Seller is not aware of any judgment or tax
lien filings against the Seller. At the time of the transfer of the Contract by
the Seller to the Trust under the terms of this Agreement, the Seller 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.

and warranties set forth below in this Section 3.05 to the Seller in the
Transfer Agreement, which representations and warranties the Seller has assigned

with respect to the Initial and Additional Contracts, and as of each Subsequent
Transfer Date with respect to the related Subsequent Contracts.
(a) Possession. Immediately prior to the Closing Date or the Subsequent
Transfer Date, as applicable, the Originator will have possession of each
original Contract and the related Contract File or Land-and-Home Contract File,
except for the missing notes described in Section 3.03(r) as to which the
Originator has delivered to the Trustee or its Custodian a copy of the notes and
note lost affidavits. There are and there will be no custodial agreements in
effect materially and adversely affecting the rights of the Originator to make,
or cause to be made, any delivery required hereunder.
(b) Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Contracts and the Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files by the
Originator pursuant to the Transfer Agreement is not subject to the bulk
transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction.
SECTION 3.06 Repurchase of Contracts or Substitution of Contracts for Breach of
Representations and Warranties.
(a) The Originator shall repurchase a Contract, at its Repurchase Price,
not later than the first Determination Date that is 90 or more days after the
day on which the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller or the Trustee first
discovers or should have discovered a breach of a representation or warranty of
the Originator set forth in Sections 2.02(xiv), 3.02, 3.03 or 3.05 of this
Agreement that materially adversely affects the Trust's or the
Certificateholders' interest in such Contract and which breach has not been
cured; provided, however, that
(i) in the event that a party other than the Originator first becomes
aware of such breach, such discovering party shall notify the
Originator in writing within five Business Days of the date of such
discovery and
(ii) with respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the List of
Contracts with respect to unpaid principal balance, which the
Originator would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this
Section, the Originator may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract,
deliver to the Seller for deposit in the Certificate Account no later
than the first Determination Date that is 90 or more days from the
date of such discovery cash in an amount sufficient to cure such
deficiency or discrepancy. Any such cash so deposited shall be
distributed to Certificateholders on the immediately following
Remittance Date as a collection of principal or interest on such
Contract, according to the nature of the deficiency or discrepancy.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation
of the Originator under this Section shall not terminate upon a
Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII.
68
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Originator shall repurchase any Land-and-Home
Contract, at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or substitute for it an Eligible
Substitute Contract as described in Section 3.06(b), if the Seller has failed to
deliver the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Trustee within 30 days of
the Closing Date.
(b) On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, the Originator, at its election, may substitute one or more Eligible
Substitute Contracts for any Contracts that it is obligated to repurchase
pursuant to Section 3.06(a) (such Contracts being referred to as the "Replaced
Contracts") upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the Originator shall have conveyed to the Seller the Contracts to be
substituted for the Replaced Contracts and the Contract Files related
to such Contracts and the Originator shall have marked the Electronic
Ledger indicating that such Contracts constitute part of the Trust;
(ii) the Contracts to be substituted for the Replaced Contracts are
Eligible Substitute Contracts and the Originator delivers an Officers'
Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit K-2 hereto, to the
Trustee certifying that such Contracts are Eligible Substitute
Contracts;
(iii)the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller evidence of filing
of a UCC-1 financing statement executed by the Originator as debtor,
naming the Seller as secured party and the Seller shall have delivered
to the Trustee evidence of filing of a UCC-1 financing statement
executed by the Seller as debtor, naming the Trustee as secured party
and filed in Delaware listing such Contracts as collateral, or shall
have delivered to the Seller or the Trustee, as the case may be, an
amended List of Contracts;
(iv) in respect of Eligible Substitute Contracts that are Land-and-Home
Contracts:
(A) the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller, or its
Custodian, the related Land-and-Home Contract Files; and
(B) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion of
counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the
Trustee holds a perfected first priority lien in the real estate
securing such Eligible Substitute Contracts, or evidence of
recordation of the assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust of each Mortgage securing such Eligible Contracts;
(v) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
Counsel
(A) to the effect that the substitution of such Contracts for such
Replaced Contracts will not cause the Master REMIC, Intermediate
REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any
time under then applicable REMIC Provisions or cause any
"prohibited transaction" that will result in the imposition of a
tax under such REMIC Provisions and
(B) to the effect of paragraph 9 of Exhibit F hereto; and
69
(vi) if the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced
Contracts is greater than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
the Contracts being substituted, the Originator shall have delivered
to the Seller for deposit in the Certificate Account the amount of
such excess and shall have included in the Officers' Certificate
required by clause (ii) above a certification that such deposit has
been made.
Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Contracts
to, and delete such Replaced Contracts from, the List of Contracts. Such
substitution shall be effected prior to the first Determination Date that occurs
90 or more days after the Originator becomes aware, or should have become aware,
or receives written notice from the Trustee, of the breach referred to in
Section 3.06(a). Promptly after any substitution of a Contract, the Originator
shall give written notice of such substitution to the Rating Agencies.
(c) The terms and conditions in this subsection (c) apply in addition to
subsections (a) and (b) above.
(1) On or before the Funding Termination Date, the Originator or the
Seller shall deliver one or more Officer's Certificates to the
Trustee, identifying those Staged-Funding Contracts that have been
fully disbursed in accordance with the terms of such Contract on or
before the Funding Termination Date and specifying that portion of the
funds held in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account attributable
to those Staged-Funding Contracts. On or before the Funding
Termination Date, the Originator or the Seller shall deliver an
Officer's Certificate to the Trustee, specifying any Staged-Funding
Contracts which were not fully disbursed by the Funding Termination
Date (each Staged-Funding Contract that was not so fully disbursed
being hereinafter referred to as an "Unfunded Contract"), and the Cut-
off Date Principal Balance of each Unfunded Contract.
(2) On or before the Funding Termination Date, the Originator shall either
repurchase any Unfunded Contract in accordance with Section 3.06(a)
(or the unfunded portion thereof, by depositing in the Certificate
Account any undisbursed amount with respect to such Unfunded
Contract), or shall substitute an Eligible Substitute Contract for
such Unfunded Contract in accordance with Section 3.06(b). With
respect to the repurchase of an Unfunded Contract pursuant to this
Section 3.06(c), an amount of the Repurchase Price equal to the
Unfunded Contract Shortfall attributable to such Unfunded Contract
shall be treated as a refund to the Trust of the purchase price paid
by the Trust for additional obligations of the Obligor on such
Contract under Section 2.01(c), and the remainder of the Repurchase
Price shall be treated as paid to the Trust for such Unfunded
Contract.
(3) If the Originator shall have failed to repurchase an Unfunded Contract
(or the unfunded portion thereof, by depositing in the Certificate
Account any undisbursed amount with respect to such Unfunded Contract)
or to substitute an Eligible Substitute Contract therefor in
accordance with subsection (2) above,
70
then the disbursed principal balance of such Unfunded Contract as
owned by the Trust shall not be increased after the Funding
Termination Date, notwithstanding any further disbursements that may
be made to the related Obligor by the Originator after the Funding
Termination Date. The Servicer shall thereafter allocate principal and
interest collected on the Contract between the Trust and the
Originator on a pro rata basis in accordance with the disbursed
principal balance as of the Funding Termination Date, with the result
that payments of interest and principal collected with respect to such
disbursed principal balance as of the Funding Termination Date shall
be deemed collected by the Trust. The aggregate differential between
the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all such Unfunded Contracts as
specified in the List of Contracts and the disbursed principal balance
of such Unfunded Contracts as of the Funding Termination Date (the
"Unfunded Contract Shortfall") shall be added to the Formula Principal
Distribution Amount with respect to the Remittance Date in March 2002.
(4) On the Business Day prior to each Remittance Date until and including
the Remittance Date immediately following the Funding Termination
Date, the Originator shall pay any Class A Interest Shortfall, Class
M-1 Interest Shortfall, Class M-2 Interest Shortfall or Class B-1
Interest Shortfall occurring on such Remittance Date, if and to the
extent such shortfall is caused by the difference between (i) the
interest that would have been payable on all Staged-Funding Contracts
in the related month had such Contracts been fully disbursed on the
Closing Date and (ii) the interest actually payable on such Contracts
in the related month according to the terms of such Contracts.
(5) To further evidence its obligation to repurchase Unfunded Contracts
pursuant to subsection (2) above and to deposit any Class A Interest
Shortfall, Class M-1 Interest Shortfall, Class M-2 Interest Shortfall
and Class B-1 Interest Shortfall pursuant to subsection (4) above, the
Originator shall deliver to the Trustee, on the Closing Date, a demand
note in an amount no less than the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal
Balances of the Staged-Funding Contracts. After the Funding
Termination Date or such earlier date on which the Originator either
has fully disbursed or repurchased each Staged-Funding Contract as
required herein, the Trustee shall return such demand note to the
Originator for cancellation and/or destruction.
(d) Upon receipt by the Trust by deposit in the Certificate Account of the
Repurchase Price under subsection (a) or (c) above, or the delivery of an
Eligible Substitute Contract pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above, and upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit K-1 or K-2, the Trustee shall convey and assign to the Originator all of
the Trust's right, title and interest in the repurchased Contract or Replaced
Contract without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence
of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising as a result of actions
of the Trustee.
(e) The Originator shall defend and indemnify the Trustee and the
Certificateholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, arising out of
any claims which may be asserted against or incurred by any
71
of them as a result of any third-party action arising out of any breach of any
such representation and warranty.
SECTION 3.07 No Repurchase or Substitution Under Certain Circumstances.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no
repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 3.06 (other than a repurchase or
substitution pursuant to Section 3.06(c)) shall be made unless the Originator
obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that any
such repurchase or substitution would not, under the REMIC Provisions,
(i) cause the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC while any regular interest in the Subsidiary
REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC, respectively, is
outstanding,
(ii) result in a tax on prohibited transactions within the meaning of
Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or
(iii)constitute a contribution after the startup day subject to tax under
Section 860G(d) of the Code.
The Servicer shall attempt to obtain such Opinion of Counsel. In the case of a
repurchase or deposit pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or 3.06(c), the Originator
shall, notwithstanding the absence of such opinion as to the imposition of any
tax as the result of such purchase or deposit, repurchase such Contract or make
such deposit and shall guarantee the payment of such tax by paying to the
Trustee the amount of such tax not later than five Business Days before such tax
shall be due and payable to the extent that amounts previously paid over to and
then held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof are insufficient to pay
such tax and all other taxes chargeable under Section 6.06. Pursuant to Section
6.06, the Servicer is hereby directed to withhold, and shall withhold and pay
over to the Trustee, an amount sufficient to pay such tax and any other taxes
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or
imposed on "contributions after start up date" under Section 860G(d) of the Code
from amounts otherwise distributable to Class C Subsidiary Certificateholders.
The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee at the time of such repurchase of
the amounts due from the Originator pursuant to the guarantee of the Originator
described above and notice as to who should receive such payment.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any such amounts pursuant to
this Section other than from moneys provided to it by the Originator or from
moneys held in the funds and accounts created under this Agreement. The Trustee
shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with this Section if it follows
the directions of the Originator.
In the event any tax that is guaranteed by the Originator pursuant to this
Section 3.07 is refunded to the Trust or otherwise is determined not to be
payable, the Originator shall be repaid the amount of such refund or that
portion of any guarantee payment made by the Originator that is not applied to
the payment of such tax.
SECTION 3.08 Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account.
72
(a) The Trustee shall establish the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account
on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account, and shall deposit
therein the amount specified in Section 2.02(xx). The Account shall be entitled
"U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of holders of
Manufactured Housing Contract Senior/Subordinate Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2001-4."
(b) Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to
Section 3.06(c)(1) to the effect that one or more Staged-Funding Contracts have
been fully disbursed in accordance with the terms of such Contract, on or before
the Funding Termination Date, the Trustee shall release to the Originator that
portion of the funds held in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account
attributable to those Staged-Funding Contracts (as specified in such Officer's
Certificate).
(c) If the Originator fails to satisfy its obligations under Section
3.06(c)(2) hereof the Trustee shall withdraw from the Staged-Funding Contract
Reserve Account that amount necessary to satisfy the Originator's obligations
under Section 3.06(c)(2), and if the funds withdrawn from the Staged-Funding
Contract Reserve Account are insufficient to satisfy such obligations, the
Trustee shall demand payment under the demand note delivered pursuant to Section
3.06(c)(5) in the amount of such deficiency, and shall apply said funds in the
fashion provided in the second sentence in Section 3.06(c)(2). Any amount so
applied shall be deposited in the Certificate Account and treated for all
purposes under this Agreement as an amount paid by the Originator to repurchase
Contracts under Section 3.06(c).
(d) The Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust
but not part of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC. The
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the legal owner of the Staged-Funding
Contract Reserve Account. The Originator shall be the beneficial owner of the
Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account, subject to the foregoing power of the
Trustee to apply amounts in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account to
satisfy the obligations of the Originator under Section 3.06(c)(2). Funds in
the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account shall, at the direction of the
Originator, be invested in Eligible Investments that mature no later than the
Funding Termination Date. All net income and gain from such investments shall
be distributed to the Originator on the Funding Termination Date. Any losses on
such investments shall be deposited in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account by the Originator out of its own funds immediately as realized. All
amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account shall be taxable to the Originator.
(e) Any funds remaining in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account
after the Funding Termination Date shall be distributed to the Originator.

Trustee. In the event that the Trustee is no longer acting as Custodian of the
Contract Files or the Land-and-Home Contract Files, upon execution and delivery
of an agreement between the Trustee and the Person assuming the duties of the
Trustee hereunder as Custodian with respect to such Files, the replacement
Custodian shall concurrently execute an acknowledgment of receipt of such Files
substantially in the form of Exhibit H hereto.
(b) The Custodian shall agree to maintain the Contract Files and Land-and-
Home Contract Files at its office where they are currently maintained, or at
such other offices of the Custodian in the State of Minnesota as shall from time
to time be identified to the Trustee by written notice. The Custodian may
temporarily move individual Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files or
any portion thereof without notice as necessary to conduct collection and other
servicing activities in accordance with its customary practices and procedures.
(c) The Custodian shall have and perform the following powers and duties:
(i) hold the Contract Files and Land-and-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,
conduct annual physical inspections of Contract Files and Land-and-
Home Contract Files held by it under this Agreement and certify to the
Trustee annually that it continues to maintain possession of such
Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files;
(ii) implement policies and procedures, in writing and signed by an
Authorized Officer, with respect to persons authorized to have access
to the Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files on the
Custodian's premises and the receipting for Contract Files and Land-
and-Home Contract Files taken from their storage area by an employee
of the Custodian for purposes of servicing or any other purposes; and
(iii)attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody of the
Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee.
(d) In performing its duties under this Section, the Custodian agrees to
act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that it exercises
with respect to similar contracts owned and/or serviced by it. The Custodian
shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure by it to hold the Contract
Files or Land-and-Home Contract Files as herein provided and shall promptly take
appropriate action to remedy any such failure. In acting as custodian of the
Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files, the Custodian shall agree
further not to assert any beneficial ownership interests in the Contracts or the
Contract Files or Land-and-Home Contract Files. The Custodian shall agree 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
74
Trustee as the result of any act or omission by the Custodian relating to the
maintenance and custody of the Contract Files or Land-and-Home Contract Files;
provided, however, that the Custodian will not be liable for any portion of any
such amount resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Certificateholder, the Trustee or the Servicer.
SECTION 4.02 Filings. On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator shall
cause the UCC-1 financing statements referred to in Section 2.02(viii) to be
filed. Such financing statements are sufficient when filed to perfect the
security interest in the Contracts granted to the Trustee under this Agreement.
The Trustee shall cause to be filed all necessary continuation statements of the
UCC-1 financing statements. From time to time the Servicer shall take and cause
to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary to perfect
and protect the Trustee's first priority security interest in the Contracts and
their proceeds and the Manufactured Homes against all other persons, including,
without limitation, the filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and
continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and the making of
notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title. The
Servicer will maintain the Trustee's first priority perfected security interest
in each Manufactured Home and a first lien on each Mortgaged Property so long as
the related Contract is property of the Trust. The Seller and the Originator
authorize the Trustee and the Servicer to file all financing statements
necessary or desirable to perfect the Trustee's security interest in the
Contracts and the proceeds thereof.
All UCC-1 financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller or
Originator in favor of the Trust in connection with this Agreement describing
the Contracts shall contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of
or security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement
will violate the rights of the Secured Party."

(a) During the term of this Agreement, the Originator shall not change its
name, identity, structure or jurisdiction of incorporation or relocate its chief
executive office without first giving notice thereof to the Seller, the Trustee,
the Servicer and the Certificate Insurer. In addition, following any such
change in the name, identity, structure or location of the chief executive
office of the Originator, the Originator shall give written notice of any such
change to Standard & Poor's, ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and Fitch.
(b) If any change in the Originator's name, identity, structure or
jurisdiction of incorporation or the relocation of its chief 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 or would cause any such financing or
continuation statement or notice of lien to become unperfected (whether
immediately or with lapse of time), the Originator, no later than five days
after the effective date of such change, shall file, or cause to be filed, such
amendments or financing statements as may be required to preserve, perfect and
protect the Certificateholders' interest in the Contracts and proceeds thereof
and in the Manufactured Homes.
75
SECTION 4.04 Chief Executive Office. During the term of this Agreement, the
Originator will maintain its chief executive office in one of the States of the
United States, except Tennessee.

costs and disbursements in connection with the perfection and the maintenance of
perfection, as against all third parties, of the Certificateholders' right,
title and interest in and to the Contracts (including, without limitation, the
security interests in the Manufactured Homes granted thereby).
ARTICLE V
SERVICING OF CONTRACTS
SECTION 5.01 Responsibility for Contract Administration. The Servicer will
have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service and make collections on
the Contracts and perform or cause to be performed all contractual and customary
undertakings of the holder of the Contracts to the Obligor. Conseco Finance
Corp., if it is the Servicer, may delegate some or all of its servicing duties
to a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp., for so long as such
subsidiary remains, directly or indirectly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco
Finance Corp. Notwithstanding any such delegation, Conseco Finance Corp. shall
retain all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. The Trustee,
at the request of a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any
powers of attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the
Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Conseco
Finance Corp. is hereby appointed the Servicer until such time as any Service
Transfer shall be effected under Article VII.
SECTION 5.02 Standard of Care. In managing, administering, servicing and
making collections on the Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer
will exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with the highest degree
of skill and care that the Servicer exercises with respect to similar contracts
serviced by the Servicer; provided, however, that
(i) such degree of skill and care shall be at least as favorable as the
degree of skill and care generally applied by servicers of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts for institutional
investors and
(ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not release or waive
the right to collect the unpaid balance on any Contract.
The Servicer shall comply with FHA/VA Regulations in servicing any FHA/VA
Contracts (and will pay any required premiums) so that the related insurance of
the Federal Housing Administration or partial guarantee of the Veterans
Administration remains in full force and effect, except for good faith disputes
relating to FHA/VA Regulations that will not cause the termination or reduction
of such insurance or guarantee.
SECTION 5.03 Records. The Servicer shall, during the period it is servicer
hereunder, maintain such books of account and other records as will enable the
Trustee to determine the status of each Contract.
76
SECTION 5.04 Inspection; Computer Tape.
(a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Trustee, the Certificate Insurer and their authorized agents reasonable access
during normal business hours to the Servicer's records, which have not
previously been provided to the Trust, relating to the Contracts and will cause
its personnel to assist in any examination of such records by the Trustee or its
authorized agents. The examination referred to in this Section will be
conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's
normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting
the scope of the examination the Trustee may make, the Trustee may, using
generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of each Contract and
review the Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for conformity to
Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Article VI 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 List of Contracts at its principal executive office for inspection
by Certificateholders.
(c) On or before the ninth Business Day of each related Due Period, the
Servicer will provide to the Trustee a Computer Tape setting forth a list of all
the outstanding Contracts and the outstanding principal balance of each such
Contract as of the end of the next related Due Period.
SECTION 5.05 Certificate Account.
(a) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the
Certificate Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account.
The Certificate Account shall be entitled "U.S. Bank National Association as
Trustee for the benefit of holders of Manufactured Housing Contract Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2001-4 (Conseco Finance Corp., Servicer)." The Servicer
shall pay into the Certificate Account as promptly as practicable (not later
than the next Business Day) following receipt thereof all payments from Obligors
and Net Liquidation Proceeds, other than late payment penalty fees, extension
fees and assumption fees, which shall be retained by the Servicer as additional
compensation for servicing the Contracts. All amounts paid into the Certificate
Account under this Agreement shall be held in trust for the Trustee and the
Certificateholders until payment of any such amounts is authorized under this
Agreement. Only the Trustee may withdraw funds from the Certificate Account.
(b) If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the Certificate
Account shall, in the name of the Trustee in its capacity as such, invest the
amounts in the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments that mature not later
than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Remittance Date. Once such
funds are invested, such institution shall not change the investment of such
funds. All income and gain from such investments shall be added to the
Certificate Account and distributed on such Remittance Date pursuant to Section
8.03(a). An amount equal to any net loss on such investments shall be deposited
in the Certificate Account by the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder out of
its own funds immediately as realized. The Servicer and the Trustee shall in no
way be liable for losses on amounts invested in accordance with the provisions
hereof. Funds in the Certificate Account not so invested must be insured to the
extent permitted by law by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.
77
The Trustee may trade with itself or an Affiliate in the purchase or sale
of such Eligible Investments.
The Originator, the Servicer and the Seller acknowledge that to the extent
regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory
agency grant the Originator, Seller or Servicer the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Originator, the Seller
and the Servicer specifically waive receipt of such confirmations.
(c) If at any time the Trustee receives notice (from Standard & Poor's,
▇▇▇▇▇'▇, Fitch or the Servicer or otherwise) that the Certificate Account has
ceased to be an Eligible Account, the Trustee must, as soon as practicable but
in no event later than 5 Business Days of the Trustee's receipt of such notice,
transfer the Certificate Account and all funds and Eligible Investments therein
to an Eligible Account. Following any such transfer, the Trustee must notify
each of the Rating Agencies and the Servicer of the location of the Certificate
Account.
SECTION 5.06 Enforcement.
(a) The Servicer shall, consistent with customary servicing procedures and
the terms of this Agreement, act with respect to the Contracts in such manner as
will maximize the receipt of principal and interest on such Contracts and
Liquidation Proceeds with respect to Liquidated Contracts.
The Servicer shall exercise its discretion, consistent with customary
servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the
enforcement of defaulted Contracts in such manner as will maximize the receipt
of principal and interest with respect thereto, including but not limited to the
sale of such Contract to a third party, the modification of such Contract, or
foreclosure upon the related Collateral Security and disposition thereof.
(b) The Servicer may ▇▇▇ to enforce or collect upon Contracts, in its own
name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust. 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 Trust 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.
(c) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with the
Servicer's usual practice. In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is
authorized on the Trustee's behalf to reassign the Contract or to resell the
related Manufactured Home to the person against whom recourse exists at the
price set forth in the document creating the recourse.
(d) So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, the Servicer may
grant to the Obligor on any Contract any rebate, refund or adjustment out of the
Certificate Account that the
78
Servicer in good faith believes is required because of prepayment in full of the
Contract. The Servicer will not permit any rescission or cancellation of any
Contract.
(e) So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, the Servicer may,
consistent with its customary servicing procedures and consistent with Section
5.02, grant to the Obligor on any Contract an extension of payments due under
such Contract, provided that Obligors may not be solicited for extensions, no
such extension may extend beyond the final scheduled payment date of the
Contract with the latest maturity, as specified in Section 3.04(c), and no more
than one extension of payments under a Contract may be granted in any twelve-
month period.
(f) The Servicer may enforce any due-on-sale clause in a Contract if such
enforcement is called for under its then current servicing policies for
obligations similar to the Contracts, provided that such enforcement is
permitted by applicable law and will not adversely affect any applicable
insurance policy. If an assumption of a Contract is permitted by the Servicer
upon conveyance of the related Manufactured Home, the Servicer shall use its
best efforts to obtain an assumption agreement in connection therewith and add
such assumption agreement to the related Contract File or Land-and-Home Contract
File.
(g) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Servicer shall not agree to the modification or waiver of any provision of a
Contract if such modification or waiver would be treated as a taxable exchange
under the REMIC Provisions.
(h) In the event that any Contract that was 60 or more days delinquent as
of the Closing Date, or Subsequent Transfer Date if a Subsequent Contract (each,
a "Delinquent Contract") goes into foreclosure, if acquiring title to the
related Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home would cause the adjusted basis,
for federal income tax purposes, of Delinquent Contracts that are currently in
foreclosure or repossession, along with any other assets owned by the Subsidiary
REMIC other than "qualified mortgages", qualified "foreclosure property" and
"permitted investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, to
exceed 0.75% of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance, the Servicer shall not
acquire title to that Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home on behalf of the
Subsidiary REMIC. Instead, the Servicer shall dispose of the Mortgaged Property
or Manufactured Home for cash in a foreclosure sale. In addition, if the
Servicer determines that the adjusted basis of Delinquent Contracts that are
currently in foreclosure or repossession on any Remittance Date, along with any
other assets owned by the Subsidiary REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages",
"foreclosure property" and "permitted investments" with the meaning of Section
860G of the Internal Revenue Code, exceeds 1.0% of the Pool Scheduled Principal
Balance after giving effect to prepayments on the Contracts, then prior to such
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall dispose of sufficient Mortgaged Properties
and Manufactured Homes securing Delinquent Contracts and acquired upon
foreclosure repossession, for cash, so that the adjusted basis of Delinquent
Contracts that are currently in foreclosure or repossession, along with any
other assets owned by the Subsidiary REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages",
"foreclosure property" and "permitted investments" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code, will be less than 1.0% of the Pool Scheduled Principal
Balance. In either event, the Servicer may acquire, for its own account and not
on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home
at the foreclosure sale for an amount not less than the greater of: (i) the
highest amount bid by any
79
other person at the foreclosure sale, or (ii) the estimated fair value of the
Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home, as determined by the Servicer in good
faith.
SECTION 5.07 Trustee to Cooperate.
(a) Upon payment in full on any Contract, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee and Conseco Finance Corp. (if Conseco Finance Corp. is not the Servicer)
on the next succeeding Remittance Date by certification of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in
the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so 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 lien on the
related real estate. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been paid
in full; to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Contract
credited by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall
shall be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds.
(b) From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosure in
connection with any Land-and-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-and-Home Contract and the
related Land-and-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-
and-Home Contract to be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Land-
and-Home Contract has been assigned to the Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by
the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the
Certificateholders' and Class C Certificateholders' rights and remedies with
respect to Contracts.
(c) The Servicer's receipt of a Land-and-Home Contract and/or Land-and-Home
Contract File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Land-and-Home
Contract and the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Trustee when its
need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Contract shall be liquidated or
repurchased or replaced as described in Section 3.06.
SECTION 5.08 Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by the
Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder, including all fees and expenses
incurred in connection with the enforcement of Contracts (including enforcement
of defaulted Contracts and repossessions of Manufactured Homes securing such
Contracts) shall be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled
to reimbursement hereunder, except that the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of
the Liquidation Proceeds of a Liquidated Contract for Liquidation Expenses
incurred by it. The Servicer shall not incur such Liquidation Expenses unless it
determines in its good faith business judgment that incurring such expenses will
increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds on the related Contract.
SECTION 5.09 Maintenance of Insurance.
80
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.09,
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 related 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 due from the Obligor on the related Contract, whichever is
less; provided, however, 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; and provided, further, that such Hazard
Insurance Policies may provide for customary deductible amounts. With respect
to: (x) a Manufactured Home securing an FHA/VA Contract, if such Manufactured
Home's location was, at the time of origination of the related FHA/VA Contract,
within a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer shall also
cause such 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; and (y)
any Contract that is not an FHA/VA Contract, the Originator shall obtain (i) a
statement from the Obligor's insurance agent that the Manufactured Home was, at
the time of origination of the Contract, not in a federally designated special
flood hazard area, or (ii) evidence that, at the time of origination, flood
insurance was in effect, which coverage was 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 pay such premiums out of its own funds and may separately add
such premium to the Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but shall
not add such premium to the remaining principal balance of the Contract.
(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 5.09, 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 on the creditor's interest in the Contracts resulting
from the absence or insufficiency of individual Hazard Insurance Policies. Any
such blanket policy shall be substantially in the form and in the amount carried
by the Servicer as of the date of this Agreement. The Servicer shall pay the
premium for such policy on the basis described therein and shall deposit into
the Certificate Account from its own funds any deductible amount with respect to
claims under such blanket insurance policy relating to the Contracts. 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. If the insurer under such blanket insurance
policy shall cease to be acceptable to the Servicer, the Servicer shall exercise
its best reasonable efforts to obtain from another insurer a replacement policy
comparable to such policy.
(c) With respect to each Manufactured Home that has been repossessed in
connection with a defaulted Contract, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain one
or more Hazard Insurance Policies thereon or (ii) self-insure such Manufactured
Homes and deposit into the Certificate
81
Account from its own funds any losses caused by damage to such Manufactured Home
that would have been covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy.
(d) The Servicer shall keep in force throughout the term of this Agreement
(i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure
to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement and (ii) a fidelity bond.
Such policy or policies and such fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
as is generally customary among Persons which service a portfolio of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements
having an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 or more and which are
generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional investors.
SECTION 5.10 Repossession. Notwithstanding the standard of care specified
in Section 5.02, the Servicer shall commence procedures for the repossession of
any Manufactured Home or the foreclosure upon any Mortgaged Property or take
such other steps that in the Servicer's reasonable judgment will maximize the
receipt of principal and interest or Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to
the Contract secured by such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property (which may
include retitling or filing a recorded assignment of the Mortgage) subject to
the requirements of the applicable state and federal law, no later than five
Business Days after the time when such Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract;
provided that if the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property is
affected by hazardous waste, then the Servicer shall not cause the Trust to
acquire title to such Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding.
For purposes of the proviso in 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-and-Home Contract File with respect to the related Contract. In
connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow
such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as
shall be consistent with Section 5.02. In the event that title to any Mortgaged
Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed
or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, as Trustee, or, at its
election, to its nominee on behalf of the Trustee, as Trustee.
SECTION 5.11 Commingling of Funds. So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the
Servicer, any collections in respect of Contracts collected by Conseco Finance
Corp. shall, prior to the deposit thereof in the Certificate Account, be held in
bank accounts entitled substantially as follows: "[name of depository], as agent
for U.S. Bank National Association as Trustee, other trustees, and Conseco
Finance Corp., as their interests may appear."
SECTION 5.12 Retitling; Security Interests.
(a) If, at any time, a Service Transfer has occurred and Conseco Finance
Corp. is no longer the Servicer and the new Servicer is unable to foreclose upon
a Manufactured Home because the title document for such Manufactured Home does
not show such Servicer or the Trustee as the holder of the first priority
security interest in the Manufactured Home, such Servicer shall take all
necessary steps to apply for a replacement title document showing it or the
Trustee as the secured party.
82
(b) In order to facilitate the Servicer's actions, as described in
subsection (a) of this section, Conseco Finance Corp. will provide the Servicer
with any necessary power of attorney permitting it to retitle the Manufactured
Home.
(c) If the Servicer is still unable to retitle the Manufactured Home,
Conseco Finance Corp. will take all actions necessary to act with the Servicer
to foreclose upon the Manufactured Home, including, as appropriate, the filing
of any UCC-1 or UCC-2 financing statements necessary to perfect the security
interest in any Manufactured Home that constitutes a fixture under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which it is located and all actions necessary to perfect the
security interest in any Manufactured Home that is 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.
(d) The Originator shall
(i) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
assignment and recordation of the Mortgages, securing Land-and-Home
Contracts relating to real estate located in any state other than
those states specified in such Opinion of Counsel (the "recordation
states"), is not necessary to effect the assignment to the Trustee of
the Originator's lien on the real property securing such Land-and-Home
Contracts, and
(ii) file in the appropriate recording offices within 60 days after the
Closing Date (or within 30 days after receipt of the recorded
Mortgage, if later) the assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust of the Mortgages securing all Land-and-Home Contracts secured by
Mortgages relating to real estate located in the recordation states.

SECTION 6.06 Payment of Taxes. The Servicer shall be responsible for and
agrees to prepare, make and file all federal, state, local or other tax returns,
information statements and other returns and documents of every kind and nature
whatsoever required to be made or filed by or on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC,
Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC pursuant to the Code and other applicable tax
laws and regulations. Each such return, statement and document shall, to the
extent required by the Code or other applicable law and at the request of the
Servicer, be signed on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or
Master REMIC by the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever
for the accuracy or completeness of any such return, statement or document. The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless for, from, against
and in respect to any and all liability, loss, damage and expense which may be
incurred by the Trustee based upon or as a result of the Trustee's execution of
any and all such tax returns, statements and documents. The Servicer, if and for
so long as it is a Class C Certificateholder, shall be designated the "tax
matters person" on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Master
REMIC, respectively, in the same manner as a partnership may designate a "tax
matters partner," as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. To
the extent permitted by the REMIC Provisions, any subsequent holder of a Class C
Certificate, by acceptance thereof, irrevocably designates and appoints the
Servicer as its agent to perform the responsibilities of the "tax matters
person" on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Master REMIC,
respectively, if, and during such time as, the Servicer is not the holder of a
Class C Certificate. The Servicer may, at its expense, retain such outside
assistance as it deems necessary in the performance of its obligations under
this paragraph.
Each of the Holders of the Certificates, by acceptance thereof, agrees to
file tax returns consistent with and in accordance with any elections, decisions
or other reports made or filed with regard to federal, state or local taxes on
behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC. The
Originator, as agent for the tax matters person, shall represent the Subsidiary
REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC in connection with all
examinations of the affairs of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or
Master REMIC by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial
proceedings. Each of the holders of the Certificates, by acceptance thereof,
agrees to cooperate with the Originator in such matters and to do or refrain
from doing any or all things reasonably required by the Originator to conduct
such proceedings, provided that no such action shall be required by the
Originator of any
91
Certificateholder that would entail unnecessary or unreasonable expenses for
such Certificateholder in the performance of such action.
The Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder, Class C Intermediate
Certificateholder and Class C Master Certificateholder shall pay, on behalf of
the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC, respectively, any
foreign, federal, state or local income, property, excise, sales, receipts or
any other similar or related taxes or charges which may be imposed upon the
Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC as a REMIC or otherwise and
shall, to the extent provided in Section 10.06, be entitled to be reimbursed out
of the Certificate Account or, if such tax or charge results from a failure by
the Trustee, the Originator or any Servicer to comply with the provisions of
Section 2.04 or 3.07, the Trustee, the Originator or such Servicer, as the case
may be, shall indemnify the Class C Certificateholders for the payment of any
such tax or charge. The Trustee shall be entitled to withhold from amounts
otherwise distributable to the Class C Certificateholders any taxes or charges
payable by the Class C Certificateholders hereunder.
In the event a Class C Certificate is transferred to a "disqualified
organization," within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code, pursuant to
Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code the Seller shall provide to the Internal
Revenue Service and the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the
Code all information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) and any
other applicable provision of the Code with respect to the transfer of such
Class C Certificate to such a disqualified organization including, without
limitation, a computation showing the present value of the total anticipated
excess inclusions with respect to such Class C Certificate for periods after the
transfer as defined in the REMIC Provisions. In addition, to the extent
required by the REMIC Provisions, the Seller shall, upon the written request of
persons designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the Code, furnish to such requesting
party and the Internal Revenue Service information sufficient to compute the
present value of anticipated excess inclusions within 60 days of the receipt of
such written request.

Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Contracts, the

herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof and

occurring prior to such Service Transfer or for any breach by the Servicer of

Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally unable so to act, appoint, or
petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an Eligible Servicer
acceptable to the Certificate Insurer as the successor to the Servicer hereunder
in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or
liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the
Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the
Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with
such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Contracts as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such monthly compensation
shall, without the written consent of 100% of the Certificateholders, exceed the

naming such successor Servicer.
SECTION 7.05 Effect of Transfer. After the Service Transfer, the Trustee or
new Servicer may notify Obligors to make payments directly to the new Servicer
that are due under the Contracts after the effective date of the Service
Transfer.
(a) After the Service Transfer, the replaced Servicer shall have no further
obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing or
collection of the Contracts and the
96
new Servicer shall have all of such obligations, except that the replaced
Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the new Servicer
for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received,
any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the new Servicer to collect
them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Contracts.
(b) A Service Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the
parties hereunder (including but not limited to the indemnities of the Servicer
and the Originator pursuant to Article X and Sections 3.06, 11.06 and 11.11(f))
other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing or
collection of the Contracts.
SECTION 7.06 Transfer of Certificate Account. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 7.02, if the Certificate Account shall be maintained with
the Servicer and an Event of Termination shall occur and be continuing, the
Servicer shall, after five days' written notice from the Trustee, or in any
event within ten days after the occurrence of the Event of Termination,
establish an Eligible Account with an institution other than the Servicer and
promptly transfer all funds in the Certificate Account to such new account,

Certificateholder holds a Class B-3I, Class C Subsidiary, Class C Intermediate

(b) Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be

responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents.
All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are

the provisions of the Book Entry Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the
Certificate ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇
the Originator, the Seller nor the Servicer shall have any responsibility

on a Contract by Contract basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal
from the Certificate Account pursuant to such clause.

individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
execution and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the
date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate has
been executed by manual signature in accordance with this Section, and such
signature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder.
All Certificates shall be dated the date of their execution, except for those
Certificates executed on the Closing Date, which shall be dated the Closing
Date.
SECTION 9.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall keep at the office or agency to be maintained in
accordance with Section 12.02 a "Certificate Register" in which the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee initially appoints
itself to be the "Certificate Registrar" and transfer agent for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as provided
herein. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to Certificateholders and
the Servicer of any change in the Certificate Registrar.
111
(b) The provisions of this Subsection (b) also apply with respect to any
transfers of Certificates.
(1) Subject to clauses (2) and (3) below, no transfer of a Class B-2
Certificate, Class B-3I Certificate or Class C Certificate shall be
made by the Originator or any other Person unless such transfer is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, as amended, and
any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with the
Act and laws. In the event that any such transfer is to be made, (a)
the Originator may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Originator that such
transfer may be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the
applicable exemption and the basis therefor, from the Act and laws or
is being made pursuant to the Act and laws, which Opinion of Counsel
shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Originator, and (b) the
Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an investment letter
substantially in the form of Exhibit L attached hereto, which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Originator. Any Class B-2 Certificateholder, Class B-3I
Certificateholder or Class C Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Originator and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that
may result if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in
accordance with such federal and state laws.
(2) No transfer of a Class B-2 Certificate, a Class B-3I Certificate or a
Class C Certificate or any interest therein, shall be made to any
employee benefit plan, trust or account that is subject to ERISA, or
that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code (each, a "Plan"),
or to any person investing on behalf of or with "plan assets" or a
plan unless the prospective transferee of a Certificate or interest
therein provides the Servicer and the Trustee with a certification of
facts and, at its own expense, an Opinion of Counsel which establish
to the satisfaction of the Servicer and the Trustee that such transfer
will not result in a violation of Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code or cause the Servicer, the Originator or the Trustee to be
deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result in the imposition of an
excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,
(A) neither the Class C Subsidiary Certificate nor the Class C Master
Certificate, nor any interest therein, shall be transferred, sold
or otherwise disposed of to a "disqualified organization," within
the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code (a "Disqualified
Organization"), including, but not limited to,
(i) the United States, a state or political subdivision
thereof, a foreign government, an international
organization or an agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing,
112
(ii) an organization (other than a cooperative described in
Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the taxes
imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code and not subject to the tax
imposed on unrelated business income by Section 511 of the
Code, or
(iii) a cooperative described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the
Code, and
(B) prior to any registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C
Master Certificate, the proposed transferee shall deliver to the
Trustee, under penalties of perjury, an affidavit that such
transferee is not a Disqualified Organization, with respect to
which the Trustee shall have no actual knowledge that such
affidavit is false, and the transferor and the proposed
transferee shall each deliver for the Trustee an affidavit with
respect to any other information reasonably required by the
Trustee pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, including, without
limitation, information regarding the transfer of noneconomic
residual interests and transfers of any residual interest to or
by a foreign person;
provided, however, that, upon the delivery to the Trustee of an
Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee
and rendered by Independent counsel, to the effect that the beneficial
ownership of the Class C Certificate by any Disqualified Organization
will not result in the imposition of federal income tax upon the
Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC or any
Certificateholder or any other person or otherwise adversely affect
the status of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC
as a REMIC, the foregoing prohibition on transfers, sales and other
dispositions, as well as the foregoing requirement to deliver a
certificate prior to any registration thereof, shall, with respect to
such Disqualified Organization, terminate. Notwithstanding any
transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class C Certificate, or any
interest therein, to a Disqualified Organization or the registration
thereof in the Certificate Register, such transfer, sale or other
disposition and any registration thereof, unless accompanied by the
Opinion of Counsel described in the preceding sentence, shall be
deemed to be void and of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such
Disqualified Organization shall be deemed to not be the Class C
Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not
limited to, the receipt of distributions on the Class C Certificate,
and shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in the Class C
Certificate. Each Class C Certificateholder, by his acceptance
thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the
provisions of this Section 9.02(b)(3).
(4) Any transfer, sale or other disposition not in compliance with the
provisions of this Section 9.02(b) shall be deemed to be void and of
no legal force or effect whatsoever and such transferee shall be
deemed to not be the Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on such
Certificate, and shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in
such Certificate.
113
(5) The Trustee shall give notice to Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch
promptly following any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class
B-3I or Class C Certificate.
(c) At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate original
denomination, upon surrender of such Certificates to be exchanged at such
office. Whenever any Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee
shall execute and deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered
for transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or shall be accompanied by a
written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the
Certificate Registrar duly executed by the holder thereof or his or her attorney
duly authorized in writing.
(d) Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, the Book-Entry Certificates
shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and at all times:
(i) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may not be transferred by
the Trustee except to another Depository;
(ii) the Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the
Certificate Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of
such Book-Entry Certificates;
(iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry
Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by
applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants;
(v) the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants
and indirect participating firms as representatives of the
Certificate Owners of the Book-Entry Certificates for purposes of
exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests
and directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be
deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to different
Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its
Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants
with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the
books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect
Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository's normal procedures.
114
(e) If
(i) the Seller or the Depository advises the Trustee in writing that the
Depository is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as Depository, and
(ii) the Trustee or the Originator is unable to locate a qualified
successor OR
(iii) the Originator at its sole option advises the Trustee in writing
that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through the
Depository,
the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the Depository, of the
occurrence of any such event and of the availability of definitive, fully
registered Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates and Class B Certificates
(the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon
surrender to the Trustee of the Class A Certificates, Class M-1 Certificates,
Class M-2 Certificates and Class B Certificates by the Depository, accompanied
by registration instructions from the Depository for registration, the Trustee
shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the Originator nor the Trustee
shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and may
conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions.
Upon the issuance of 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 the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
(f) On or prior to the Closing Date, there shall be delivered to the
Depository two Class A Certificates, one Class A-IO Certificate, one Class M-1
Certificate, one Class M-2 Certificate, and one Class B-1 Certificate, each in
registered form registered in the name of the Depository's nominee, Cede & Co.,
the total face amount of which represents 100% of the related Original Principal
Balance or Original Notional Principal Amount, respectively. At any time after
the Closing Date, subject to compliance with the normal procedures of the
Trustee and the Depository, the Class B-2 Certificateholders may deliver to the
Depository one Class B-2 Certificate, registered in the name of Cede & Co. (or
other nominee of the Depository), the total face amount of which represents 100%
of the Original Principal Balance of the Class B-2 Certificate. If, however,
the aggregate principal amount of a Class of Class A Certificates, Class M
Certificates or Class B Certificates exceeds $400,000,000, one such Class A
Certificate, Class M Certificate and/or Class B Certificate will be issued with
respect to each $400,000,000 of principal amount and an additional Certificate
of such Class or Classes will be issued with respect to any remaining principal
amount. Each such Class A, Class M and Class B Certificate registered in the
name of the Depository's nominee shall bear the following legend:
"Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC") to Issuer or its
agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
115
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein."
SECTION 9.03 No Charge; Disposition of Void Certificates. No service charge
shall be made to a Certificateholder for any transfer or exchange of
Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All Certificates
surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be disposed of in a manner approved
by the Trustee.
SECTION 9.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates. If any
mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the
Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction,
loss or theft of any Certificate, and there is delivered to the Certificate
Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be required by each
to save it harmless, then in the absence of notice to the Certificate Registrar
or the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser,
the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such
mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new Certificate of like
tenor and original denomination. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate under
this Section 9.04, 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 connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate
issued pursuant to this Section 9.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible
evidence of ownership of the Percentage Interest, as if originally issued,
whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be
found at any time.
SECTION 9.05 Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
Certificate for registration of transfer, the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee,
the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar may treat the person in whose
name any Certificate is registered as the owner of such Certificate for the
purpose of receiving remittances pursuant to Section 8.01 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Servicer, the
Seller, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 9.06 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
The Certificate Registrar will furnish to the Trustee and the Servicer,
within five days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request
therefor from the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of
the most recent Record Date. If Holders of Certificates evidencing, as to any
Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more (hereinafter referred to as
"Applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that
the Applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect
to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is
accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to
the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee. If such list is
as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants'
request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a
current list as provided above, and shall afford such Applicants access to such
list promptly upon receipt. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Certificate, agrees with the Certificate
116
Registrar and the Trustee that none of the Originator, the Certificate Registrar
or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder,
regardless of the source from which such information was derived.
SECTION 9.07 Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more
Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its
direction in the execution and delivery of the Certificates. For all purposes of
this Agreement, the execution and delivery of Certificates by the Authenticating
Agent pursuant to this Section shall be deemed to be the execution and delivery
of Certificates "by the Trustee."
ARTICLE X
INDEMNITIES
SECTION 10.01 Seller's and Originator's Indemnities. The Seller and
Originator will jointly and severally defend and indemnify the Trust, the
Trustee (including the Custodian, the Paying Agent and any other agents of the
Trustee), the Certificate Insurer and the Certificateholders against any and all
costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation of any third-party
claims
(i) arising out of or resulting from the origination of any Contract
(including but not limited to truth in lending requirements) or the
servicing of such Contract prior to its transfer to the Trust (but
only to the extent such cost, expense, loss, damage, claim or
liability is not provided for by the Originator's repurchase of such
Contract pursuant to Section 3.06) or
(ii) arising out of or resulting from the use or ownership of any
Manufactured Homes by the Originator or the Servicer or any Affiliate
of either.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the
Originator under this Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer
pursuant to Article VII, except that the obligation of the Originator under this
Section shall not relate to the actions of any subsequent Servicer after a
Service Transfer.
SECTION 10.02 Liabilities to Obligors. No obligation or liability to any
Obligor under any of the Contracts is intended to be assumed by the Trust or the
Certificateholders under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and, to the maximum extent permitted and valid under
mandatory provisions of law, the Trust and the Certificateholders expressly
disclaim such assumption.
SECTION 10.03 Tax Indemnification. The Originator agrees to pay, and to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the Trustee (including the
Custodian, the Paying Agent and any other capacities of or agents of the
Trustee) and the Certificateholders from, any taxes which may at any time be
asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the Contracts
to the Trust, including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general
corporation, personal
117
property, privilege or license taxes (but not including any federal, state or
other taxes arising out of the creation of the Trust and the issuance of the
Certificates), any tax imposed on the Trust as a result of the Originator's
repurchase of any Contract pursuant to Section 3.06(c), and costs, expenses and
reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, whether arising by reason
of the acts to be performed by the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the
Trustee under this Agreement or imposed against the Trust, a Certificateholder
or otherwise.
SECTION 10.04 Servicer's Indemnities. The Servicer shall defend and
indemnify the Trust, the Trustee (including the Custodian, the Paying Agent and
any other capacities of or agents of the Trustee), the Certificate Insurer and
the Certificateholders against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages,
claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and
expenses of litigation, in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by
the Servicer with respect to any Contract. This indemnity shall survive any
Service Transfer (but the original Servicer's obligations under this Section
10.04 shall not relate to any actions of any subsequent Servicer after a Service
Transfer) and any payment of the amount owing under, or any repurchase by the
Originator of, any such Contract.
SECTION 10.05 Operation of Indemnities. Indemnification under this Article
shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and
expenses of litigation. If the Originator or the Servicer has made any indemnity
payments to the Trustee pursuant to this Article and the Trustee thereafter
collects any of such amounts from others, the Trust will repay such amounts
collected to the Originator or the Servicer, as the case may be, without
interest.
SECTION 10.06 REMIC Tax Matters. If a Class C Certificateholder, pursuant
to Section 6.06, pays any taxes or charges imposed upon the Subsidiary REMIC,
Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC, as the case may be, as a REMIC or otherwise,
such taxes or charges, except to the extent set forth in the following proviso,
shall be expenses and costs of the Trust and the Class C Certificateholder shall
be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account as provided
in Section 8.03; provided, however, that any such taxes or charges shall not be
expenses or costs of the Trust, nor will the Class C Certificateholder be
entitled to reimbursement therefor out of the Certificate Account, if and to the
extent that such taxes or charges resulted from a failure by the Originator, the
Trustee or any Servicer to comply with the provisions of Section 2.04.
ARTICLE XI
THE TRUSTEE
SECTION 11.01 Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Termination and after the curing of all Events of Termination which may
have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Termination has
occurred (which has not been cured), 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.
118
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform as to form to the requirements of this Agreement.
Subject to Section 11.03, 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
subsections (a) - (d) below apply.
(a) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination, and after the
curing of all such Events of Termination 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 conclusively rely, 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.
(b) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts.
(c) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Certificateholders with aggregate Percentage Interests
representing 25% or more of the Trust relating 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.
(d) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any event referred
to in Section 7.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Trustee receives
written notice of such event from the Servicer or the Holders of Certificates
evidencing, as to any Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer under
this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of,
the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee shall
not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 11.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise
provided in Section 11.01, subsections (a) - (e) below apply.
119
(a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of a
Servicing Officer, 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.
(b) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any opinion of any counsel for
the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer 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 Opinion of
Counsel.
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
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, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Termination (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to 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.
(d) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and after the curing
of all Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be
bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing, as to any
Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more; 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 cost, expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid
by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer
upon demand.
(e) 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 or a custodian and shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of
such agents, attorneys or custodians if appointed by it with due care hereunder.
SECTION 11.03 Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Contracts. The Trustee
assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals contained herein
or in the Certificates (other than the Trustee's execution thereof). The Trustee
makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of
the Certificates (other than its execution thereof) or of any Contract, Contract
File, Land-and-Home Contract File or related document. The Trustee shall not be
accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, the Originator or the
Seller of funds paid to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable, in
consideration of conveyance of the
120
Contracts to the Trust by the Originator and the Seller or deposited into or
withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Servicer.
SECTION 11.04 Rights of Certificateholders to Direct Trustee and to Waive
Event of Termination. Holders of Class A Certificates, Holders of Class A-IO
Certificates, Holders of Class M Certificates and Holders of Class B
Certificates evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage Interests
representing 25% or more shall have the right to direct the time, method and
place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or
exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that,
subject to Section 11.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow
any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the
action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith
shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the
proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or
be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Certificateholders not parties to such
direction; and provided further that nothing in this Agreement shall impair the
right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which
is not inconsistent with such direction by the Certificateholders; and provided
further that the Trustee shall instead follow the directions of Holders of Class
A Certificates, Holders of Class A-IO Certificates, Holders of Class M
Certificates and Holders of Class B Certificates evidencing, as to each such
Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 51% or more whenever it receives
conflicting directions from Class A Certificateholders, Class A-IO
Certificateholders, Class M Certificateholders and Class B Certificateholders.
Holders of Class A Certificates, Holders of Class A-IO Certificates, Holders of
Class M Certificates and Holders of Class B Certificates evidencing, as to each
such Class, Percentage Interests representing 51% or more may on behalf of
Certificateholders waive any past Event of Termination hereunder and its
consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof
which under Section 12.07 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of
all Certificateholders, and upon any such waiver, such Event of Termination
shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of
this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event
of Termination or impair any right consequent thereon. Following the Class M-2
Cross-Over Date, if all distributions payable to the Class A Certificateholders,
Class A-IO Certificateholders and the Class M Certificateholders have either
been made or provided for in accordance with this Agreement, then the Holders of
Class B-1 Certificates may exercise the rights given to the Class A
Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders and Class B-1
Certificateholders under this Section. Following the Class B-1 Cross-Over Date,
if all distributions payable to the Class A Certificateholders, Class A-IO
Certificateholders and the Class M Certificateholders have either been made or
provided for in accordance with this Agreement, then the Holders of Class B-2
Certificates may exercise the rights given to the Class A Certificateholders,
Class A-IO Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders and Class B-1
Certificateholders under this Section.
SECTION 11.05 The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Servicer
agrees to pay the fees and expenses set forth in subsections (a) - (c) below.
(a) The Servicer shall pay to the Trustee reasonable compensation for all
services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by
any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express
trust).
121
(b) The Servicer shall, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to
reimburse the Trustee, to the extent requested by the Trustee, for all
reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee
in accordance with any provision of this Agreement, except any such expense,
disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith.
(c) The Servicer shall indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on its part, 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.
All such payments by the Servicer shall be made from its own funds. The
covenants in this Section 11.05 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee in its
capacities as Trustee, Custodian, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar
hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

the laws of the United States of America or any State, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers and a Title I approved lender pursuant
to FHA Regulations, shall not be an Affiliate of the Originator, and shall have
a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or shall be a member of a
bank holding system the aggregate combined capital and surplus of which is
$50,000,000, provided that the Trustee's separate capital and surplus shall at
all times be at least the amount required by Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. If such Person publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 11.06, the combined
capital and surplus of such Person 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 at all times have a long-term deposit rating (or, if
the Trustee is a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank holding company system and
not rated, the bank holding company shall have a long-term senior unsecured debt
rating) from Standard & Poor's of at least BBB, or as shall be otherwise
acceptable to Standard & Poor's, and a rating from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ (if rated by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇)
of at least Baa3, or as shall be otherwise acceptable to ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and Fitch. In
case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the
provisions of this Section 11.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the
manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.07.
SECTION 11.07 Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to the Servicer and the Originator. A copy of any such notice
shall be sent to Standard & Poor's, ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and Fitch. Upon receiving such
notice of resignation, the Originator shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee
by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to each of the Servicer and the Originator and one copy to the
successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
shall 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.
122
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Originator, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally
unable to act, or shall be adjudged a 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 rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Originator may
remove the Trustee. If the Originator shall have removed the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Originator shall promptly
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.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided
in Section 11.08.
SECTION 11.08 Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
provided in Section 11.07 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Servicer, the Originator and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor 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 like
effect as if originally named as Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to the successor Trustee the Contracts, Contract Files
and Land-and-Home Contract Files and any related documents and statements held
by it hereunder; and, if the Land-and-Home Contract Files are then held by a
custodian pursuant to a custodial agreement, the predecessor Trustee and the
custodian shall amend such custodial agreement to make the successor Trustee the
successor to the predecessor Trustee thereunder; and the Servicer, the
Originator and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for fully and
certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights,
powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section 11.08, the Servicer shall cause notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to be mailed to each Certificateholder at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten
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 11.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into which the
Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any
Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06,
without
123
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. The
Trustee shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and Fitch in the event
it is a party to any merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 11.10 Tax Returns. Upon the Servicer's request, the Trustee will

returns.
SECTION 11.11 Obligor Claims. In connection with any offset defenses, or
affirmative claims for recovery, asserted in legal actions brought by Obligors
under one or more Contracts based upon provisions therein complying with, or
upon other rights or remedies arising from, any legal requirements applicable to
the Contracts, including, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission's
Trade Regulation Rule Concerning Preservation of Consumers' Claims and Defenses
(16 C.F.R. (S) 433) as amended from time to time. The Trustee and Originator
agree to the provisions set forth below.
(a) The Trustee is not, and shall not be deemed to be, either in any
individual capacity, as trustee hereunder or otherwise, a creditor, or a joint
venturer with or an Affiliate of, or acting in concert or cooperation with, any
seller of home improvements, in the arrangement, origination or making of
Contracts. The Trustee is the holder of the Contracts only as trustee on behalf
of the Certificateholders, and not as a principal or in any individual or
personal capacity.
(b) The Trustee shall not be personally liable for or obligated to pay
Obligors any affirmative claims asserted thereby, or responsible to
Certificateholders for any offset defense amounts applied against Contract
payments, pursuant to such legal actions.
(c) The Trustee will pay, solely from available Trust monies, affirmative
claims for recovery by Obligors only pursuant to final judicial orders or
judgments, or judicially approved settlement agreements, resulting from such
legal actions.
(d) The Trustee will comply with judicial orders and judgments which
require its actions or cooperation in connection with Obligors' legal actions to
recover affirmative claims against Certificateholders.
(e) The Trustee will cooperate with and assist Certificateholders in their
defense of legal actions by Obligors to recover affirmative claims if such
cooperation and assistance is not contrary to the interests of the Trustee as a
party to such legal actions and if the Trustee is satisfactorily indemnified for
all liability, costs and expenses arising therefrom.
(f) The Originator hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend the
Trustee, Certificateholders from and against any and all liability, loss, costs
and expenses of the Trustee, Certificateholders resulting from any affirmative
claims for recovery asserted or collected by Obligors under the Contracts.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the
Originator under this Section 11.11(f) shall not terminate upon a Service
Transfer pursuant to Article VII.
124
SECTION 11.12 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee. The Servicer
shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more persons or
corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee, or as
separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of conforming to any legal
requirement, restriction or condition (x) with respect to the holding of the
Contracts, the Contract Files and the Land-and-Home Contract Files or (y) with
respect to the enforcement of a Contract in any state in which a Manufactured
Home is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust is located.
The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed shall be trustees
or custodians for the benefit of all Certificateholders and shall, subject to
the provisions of the following paragraph, have such powers, rights and remedies
as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment; provided, however, that
no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an
agent of the Trustee.
Every separate trustee, co-trustee and custodian shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(i) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the Trustee
in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of monies shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;
(ii) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed
upon the Trustee, to the extent also imposed upon such separate
trustees, co-trustees or custodians, shall be conferred or imposed
upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate
trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that
under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts
are to be performed, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified
to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers,
duties and obligations (including holding of the Trust or any portion
thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by
such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(iii)no separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder; and
(iv) the Servicer may at any time accept the resignation of or remove any
separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it.
If any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian 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 or custodian. The reasonable fees and expenses of any such separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall be treated as additional fees and
expenses of the Trustee subject to Section 11.05 and payable by the Servicer if
and only to the extent the Servicer shall have consented in writing to his or
its appointment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 11.13 Agents of Trustee. To the extent not prohibited by law and
not inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 11.12), the
125
Trustee may, with the prior consent of the Servicer, appoint one or more agents
to carry out ministerial matters on behalf of the Trustee under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer agrees to comply with the
provisions of subsections (a)-(c) below.

Servicer, shall be the successor of 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

which it is a party.
(b) Any Person acquiring all or substantially all of the manufactured
housing division of Conseco Finance Corp., who assumes all of the obligations of

Servicer shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and Fitch of any such
acquisition.
(c) Conseco Finance Corp., if it is the Servicer, may delegate some or all
of its servicing duties to a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp.,
for so long as said subsidiary remains, directly or indirectly, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp. Notwithstanding any such delegation,
Conseco Finance Corp. shall retain all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer hereunder.

126
purposes is located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇

representations and warranties and indemnities by the Originator and the
Servicer shall survive termination.
(b) Any termination of the Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary
REMIC must be conducted so as to qualify as a "qualified liquidation of such

irrevocably approves and appoints the Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for the
purposes of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation.

of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders in person or by
agent duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided, such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Trustee and, where required, to the Servicer. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 11.01)

convey and assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder absent
the prior written consent of Holders of Certificates of each Class evidencing,

attempt to do so without such consent shall be void. It is understood that the
foregoing does not prohibit the pledge or assignment by the Originator of any
right to payment pursuant to Article VIII.

merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Originator shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Originator, shall be the successor of the
Originator 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

the case may be, to make such changes as are necessary to maintain the status of
each of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Master REMIC as a "real
estate mortgage investment conduit" under the REMIC Provisions of the Code or to
otherwise effectuate the benefits of such status to the Subsidiary REMIC,
Intermediate REMIC, Master REMIC and the Certificateholders, including, without

statistical rating organization in order to improve or maintain the rating of
any Class of Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates or Class B Certificates,
or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Agreement that shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel for the Originator, adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder.
(b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Servicer,
the Originator and the Trustee, with the consent of the Holders of Certificates
of each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating 51% or more, 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 Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall
130
(i) reduce in any manner the amount of, or delay the timing of,
collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions which are
required to be made on any Certificate,
(ii) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such

be imposed without regard to such amendment) to be imposed on the
Trust, including, without limitation, any tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of
the Code. This Agreement may not be amended without the consent of
all Class C Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any
provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this Agreement which would modify in any manner the
rights of the Class C Certificateholders.
(c) This Agreement shall not be amended under this Section without the
consent of 100% of Certificateholders if such amendment would result in the
disqualification of any of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the
Master REMIC as a REMIC under the Code.
(d) Concurrently with the solicitation of any consent pursuant to this
Section 12.07, the Trustee shall furnish written notification to the Rating
Agencies of such solicitation. Promptly after the execution of any amendment
pursuant to this Section 12.07, the Trustee shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment to the Rating Agencies and each
Certificateholder.
(e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 12.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
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
requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
(f) The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.
(g) In connection with any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee

to the effect that such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Agreement.
131
(h) In the absence of the consent described in subsection (c) of this
Section, in connection with any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall have received an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, the expense of which
shall not be an expense of the Trust, stating that any such amendment
(i) will not adversely affect the status of the Subsidiary REMIC,
Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the
Regular Certificates as "regular interests" in the Master REMIC, and
(ii) will not cause any tax (other than any tax imposed on "net income from
foreclosure property" under Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code that would
be imposed without regard to such amendment) to be imposed on the
Trust, including, without limitation, any tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the
Code.

the consent of the LIBOR Cap Counterparty if such amendment would (1) reduce in
any manner or delay payments to the LIBOR Cap Counterparty, (2) adversely affect
in any material respect the interests of the LIBOR Cap Counterparty in any
manner other than as described in clause (1), or (3) modify the consents
required by the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2).
(j) Upon the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this Section

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
The opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP shall be to the effect that undefined
capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement):
(1) The Originator is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with
corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Transfer Agreement and the
Underwriting Agreement (collectively, the "Transaction Documents")
(including the Limited Guaranty contained in the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement). The Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of
Minnesota, with corporate power to execute, deliver and perform in its
obligations under the Transaction Documents.
(2) The Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action, duly executed and delivered by the Originator and
the Seller, and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the
Originator and the Seller enforceable in accordance with their terms.
The Certificates have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate
action and, when duly and validly executed by the Trustee in
accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, will be validly
issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement.
(3) No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal
court or governmental agency or body is required to be obtained by the
Originator or the Seller for the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except such as may be
required under blue sky laws under any jurisdiction in connection with
the offering of the Certificates by the Underwriters pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement.
(4) The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as now in effect, and the Trust
is not required to be registered as an investment company under the
Investment Company Act of 1940.
(5) Neither the transfer of the Contracts by the Originator to the Seller,
nor the assignment of the Originator's security interest on the
related Manufactured Homes, nor the issuance or sale of the
Certificates, nor the execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions
contemplated in the Transaction Documents nor the fulfillment of the
terms of the Certificates or the Transaction Documents by the
Originator, will conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or
acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term or provision
of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Originator or of
any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to
F-1
us to which the Originator is a party or by which it is bound, or
result in a violation of, or contravene the terms of any statute,
order or regulation, applicable to the Originator, of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having
jurisdiction over it.
(6) Neither the transfer of the Contracts by the Seller to the Trustee
acting on behalf of the Trust, nor the assignment of the Seller's
security interest on the related Manufactured Homes, nor the issuance
or sale of the Certificates, nor the execution and delivery of the
Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of any other of the
transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents, nor the
fulfillment of the terms of the Certificates or the Transaction
Documents by the Seller, will conflict with, or result in a breach,
violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term
or provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Seller
or of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to us to
which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound, or result in a
violation of, or contravene the terms of any statute, order or
regulation, applicable to the Seller, of any court, regulatory body,
administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over
it.
(7) There are no actions or proceedings pending, nor to the best of our
knowledge, are there any investigations pending or overtly threatened
against the Originator or the Seller before any court, administrative
agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of the
Transaction Documents, the Certificates, the hazard or flood insurance
policies applicable to any Contracts or the Errors and Omissions
Protection Policy, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the
Certificates or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by the Transaction Documents, (C) which is likely
materially and adversely to affect the performance by the Originator
or the Seller of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of, the Transaction Documents or the Certificates, or
(D) seeking adversely to affect the federal income tax attributes of
the Certificates described in the Prospectus and the Prospectus
Supplement under the heading "Federal Income Tax Consequences."
(8) The transfer of the Initial and Additional Contracts to the Trust in
accordance with Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
would not be avoidable as a preferential transfer under Section 547 of
the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. (S) 547), as in effect on
the date hereof, in the event that the Originator became a debtor
under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
(9) Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement the Originator has transferred to
the Seller all of the Originator's right, title and interest in the
Contracts, free and clear of any and all other assignments,
encumbrances, options, rights, claims, liens or security interests
(except tax or possessory liens) that may affect the right of the
Seller in and to such Contracts, and has delivered the Land-and-Home
Contract Files and the Contract Files to the Trustee (as the Seller's
designee) or its custodian. No filing or other action, other than the
filing of a financing statement on Form UCC-1 with the Secretary of
State of the State of Delaware identifying the
F-2
Contracts as collateral and naming the Originator as debtor and the
Seller as secured party, and the filing of continuation statements as
required by the Transfer Agreement, is necessary to perfect as against
third parties the assignment of the Contracts by the Originator to the
Seller. We have separately provided you with our opinion concerning
whether such assignment could be recharacterized as a pledge rather
than a sale in the event the Originator became a debtor under the
United States Bankruptcy Code. However, in the event such assignment
were recharacterized as a pledge securing a loan from the Seller to
the Originator, it is our opinion that the Seller would be deemed to
have a valid and perfected security interest in the Initial and
Additional Contracts and the proceeds thereof, which security interest
would be prior to any other security interest that may be perfected
under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of
Minnesota and over any "lien creditor" (as defined in Minn. Stat.
(S)336.9-301(3)) who becomes such after the Closing Date, except that
a subsequent purchaser of any Contract who gives new value and takes
possession thereof in the ordinary course of his business would have
priority over the Seller's security interest in such Contracts, if
such purchaser acts without knowledge that such Contract was subject
to a security interest. We have assumed for the purposes of this
opinion that during the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
the Trustee, or its custodian, shall maintain possession of the
Land-and- Home Contract Files for the purpose of perfecting the
assignment to the Seller of the Contracts. We express no opinion with
respect to the enforceability of any individual Contract or the
existence of any claims, rights or other matters in favor of any
Obligor.
(10) Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Seller has
transferred to the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust all of the
Seller's right, title and interest in the Contracts, free and clear of
any and all other assignments, encumbrances, options, rights, claims,
liens or security interests (except tax or possessory liens) that may
affect the right of the Trustee in and to such Contracts, and has
delivered the Land-and-Home Contract Files and the Contract Files to
the Trustee or its custodian. No filing or other action, other than
the filing of a financing statement on Form UCC-1 with the Secretary
of State of the State of Minnesota identifying the Contracts as
collateral and naming the Seller as debtor and the Trustee as secured
party, and the filing of continuation statements as required by the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is necessary to perfect as against
third parties the assignment of the Contracts by the Seller to the
Trustee. We have separately provided you with our opinion concerning
whether such assignment could be recharacterized as a pledge rather
than a sale in the event the Seller became a debtor under the United
States Bankruptcy Code. However, in the event such assignment were
recharacterized as a pledge securing a loan from the
Certificateholders to the Seller, it is our opinion that the Trustee
would be deemed to have a valid and perfected security interest in the
Contracts and the proceeds thereof, which security interest would be
prior to any other security interest that may be perfected under the
Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Minnesota and
over any "lien creditor" (as defined in Minn. Stat. (S)336.9-301(3))
who becomes such after the Closing Date, except that a subsequent
purchaser of any Contract, who gives new value and takes possession
thereof in the ordinary
F-3
course of his business would have priority over the Trustee's security
interest in such Contract, if such purchaser acts without knowledge
that such Loan was subject to a security interest. We have assumed for
the purposes of this opinion that during the term of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement the Trustee, or its custodian, shall maintain
possession of the Land-and- Home Contract Files for the purpose of
perfecting the assignment to the Trustee of the Contracts. We express
no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any individual
Contract or the existence of any claims, rights or other matters in
favor of any Obligor.
(11) In reliance upon certain representations and warranties set forth in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and assuming that the Originator
and the Trustee comply with the requirements of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, including the filing on behalf of each of the
Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Subsidiary REMIC of a proper
election to be taxed as a REMIC, as of the date hereof each of the
Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Subsidiary REMIC created pursuant
to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will qualify as a REMIC.
Further, the Regular Certificates will evidence ownership of the
"regular interests" in the Master REMIC and the Class C Master
Certificate, Class C Intermediate Certificate and Class C Subsidiary
Certificate will evidence ownership of the single class of "residual
interest" in the Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Subsidiary REMIC
respectively. For Minnesota income and franchise tax purposes, and
subject to the foregoing assumptions, and the provisions of Minnesota
law as of the date hereof, the Trust (excluding the Yield Maintenance
Reserve Fund, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund, the Staged-Funding Contract
Reserve Account and the Pre-Funding Account) will not be subject to
tax and the income of the Trust will be taxable to the holders of
interests therein, all in accordance with the provisions of the Code
concerning REMICs. Moreover, ownership of Certificates will not be a
factor in determining whether such owner is subject to Minnesota
income and franchise taxes. Therefore, if the owner of Certificates
is not otherwise subject to Minnesota income or franchise taxes in the
State of Minnesota, such owner will not become subject to such
Minnesota taxes solely by virtue of owning Certificates.
(12) The transfer of the Initial and Additional Contracts and the proceeds
thereof by the Originator to the Seller on the date hereof pursuant to
the Transfer Agreement would not be avoidable as a fraudulent transfer
under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act as in effect in Minnesota on
the date hereof (Minn. Stat. (S)(S) 513.41 through 513.51), nor,
should the Originator become a debtor under the United States
Bankruptcy Code, as a fraudulent transfer under Section 548 of the
United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. (S) 548) as in effect on the
date hereof.
(13) The transfer of the Initial and Additional Contracts and the proceeds
thereof by the Seller to the Trustee on the date hereof pursuant to
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement would not be avoidable as a
fraudulent transfer under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act as in
effect in Minnesota on the date hereof (Minn. Stat. (S)(S) 513.41
through 513.51), nor, should the Seller become a debtor under the
United States Bankruptcy Code, as a fraudulent transfer under Section
548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. (S)(S) 548) as in
effect on the date hereof.
