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 2001-3. The Trust shall be administered pursuant to
the provisions of this Agreement for the benefit of the Certificateholders. 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 as
a REMIC.
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, (1) all the right,
title and interest of the Seller in and to the 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 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, (2) all rights
under every Hazard Insurance Policy relating to a Manufactured Home securing a
Contract for the benefit of the owner of such Contract, (3) all rights under all
FHA/VA Regulations pertaining to any Contract that is an FHA/VA Contract, (4)
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, (5) all documents contained in the Contract Files and the
Land-and-Home Contract Files, (6) $3,583,418.71 paid by the Underwriters to the
Trustee by order of the Seller out of the proceeds of the sale of the
Certificates and deposited in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account, (7)
amounts on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account, Pre-Funding Account and
Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account and (8) all proceeds and products in any
way derived from any of the foregoing.
c. 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)(ii) 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.
d. 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 (the "Secured Obligations"), the parties intend that the
rights and obligations of the parties to the
2-1
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)(1) through 2.01(b)(8) 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.

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

the receipt by the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or 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

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 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.

Each of the Seller and Originator makes the following representations and
warranties on which the Trustee will rely in accepting the Contracts in trust
and issuing the Certificates on behalf of the Trust and which shall survive the
execution and delivery of this Agreement. The repurchase or substitution
obligation of the Originator set forth in Section 3.06 constitutes the sole
remedy available to the Trust or the Certificateholders for a breach of a
representation or warranty of the Originator set forth in Section 2.02(n), 3.02,

SECTION 3.01 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Seller.
---------------------------------------------------
The Seller represents and warrants to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, effective on the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer
Date, that:
a. Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a corporation duly
------------------------------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to own its assets
and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Seller is
duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or
properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification and in which the
failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) of the Seller.
b. Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Seller has the power and
----------------------------------
authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and to create the Trust and
cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and to cause the Trust to
be created. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
c. No Consent Required. The Seller is not required to obtain the consent
-------------------
of any other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or
registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency
in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement.
d. No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
-------------
Agreement by the Seller will not violate any provision of any existing law or
regulation or any order or decree of any court or the Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws of the Seller, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage,
indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Seller or Originator is a
party or by which the Seller may be bound.
3-1
e. Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before
----------
any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the
knowledge of the Seller threatened, against the Seller or any of its properties
or with respect to this Agreement or the Certificates which, if adversely
determined, would in the opinion of the Seller have a material adverse effect on
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
f. Licensing. The Seller is duly registered as a finance company in each
---------
state in which Contracts were originated, to the extent such registration is
required by applicable law.
SECTION 3.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Contract.
------------------------------------------------------
The Originator has made the following representations and warranties to the
Seller in the Transfer Agreement, which representations and warranties the
Seller has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as
of the Closing Date with respect to each Initial and Additional Contract, and as
of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent
Contract identified on the List of Contracts attached to the related Subsequent
Transfer Agreement:
a. List of Contracts. The information set forth in the applicable List of
-----------------
Contracts is true and correct as of its date.
b. Payments. As of the Cut-off Date, the most recent scheduled payment
--------
was made by or on behalf of the Obligor (without any advance from the Originator
or any Person acting at the request of the Originator) or was not past due for
more than 59 days (in the case of an Initial or Additional Contract) or 30 days
(in the case of a Subsequent Contract).
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 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: (a) a statement from the
Obligor's insurance agent that the
3-2
Manufactured Home was, at the time of origination of the Contract, not in a
federally designated special flood hazard area; or (b) 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 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 (a) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally in the area wherein the property subject to the
Mortgage is located
3-3
or specifically reflected in the appraisal obtained in connection with the
origination of the related Land-and-Home Contract obtained by the Seller and (c)
other matters to which like properties are commonly subject which do not
materially interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided
by such Mortgage. 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, an
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 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.
3-4
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 28 Step-up Rate Contracts included
------------------
among the Initial Contracts and 14 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, 39 provide for two rate increases and the remainder 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, except for 71 Contracts with an
aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of $5,389,850.29 as to which the original
promissory note is missing. As to each missing note the Originator has
delivered to the Trustee or its custodian a copy of the note and a lost note
affidavit. 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]
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
3-5
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 42 United States 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.
SECTION 3.03 Additional Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby
-----------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, as of the 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
unlawful or render the Contract unenforceable. The Seller has duly executed a
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.
3-6
SECTION 3.04 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contracts in the
------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate.

respect to the Initial and Additional Contracts, and as of each Subsequent
Transfer Date with respect to the related Subsequent Contracts, that:

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) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee, or its
Custodian, as the Seller's designee, the related Contract Files and Land-
and-Home Contract Files, and 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 Eligible Substitute Contracts that are Land-and-Home Contracts, or
evidence of recordation of the assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust of (A) each Mortgage securing such Eligible Contracts;
3-10
(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
(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. (i) 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.
(ii) 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.
(iii) 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
3-11
Contract therefor in accordance with subsection (ii) above, 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 May 2001.
(iv) 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 (A) 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 (B) the
interest actually payable on such Contracts in the related month according
to the terms of such Contracts.
(v) To further evidence its obligation to repurchase Unfunded
Contracts pursuant to subsection (ii) 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 (iv)
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 of them as a result
of any third-party action arising out of any breach of any such representation
and warranty.
3-12
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.
---------------------------------------
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(s). 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 2001-3."
b. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to
Section 3.06(c)(i) 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
3-13
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)(ii) 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)(ii), 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)(v) in the amount of such deficiency and shall apply said funds in the
fashion provided in the second sentence in Section 3.06(c)(ii). 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)(ii). 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.

ARTICLE IV
PERFECTION OF TRANSFER AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS
-----------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4.01 Custody of Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files.
----------------------------------------------------------
a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section the Trustee
appoints the Custodian to maintain custody of the Contract Files and the Land-
and-Home Contract Files for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the
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 Exhibits H-1 and H-2 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
4-1
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 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(h) 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."
SECTION 4.03 Name Change or Relocation.
-------------------------
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
and the Servicer. 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 each of the Rating
Agencies.
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
4-2
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.
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.
SECTION 4.05 Costs and Expenses.
------------------
The Servicer agrees to pay all reasonable 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).
4-3
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.
SECTION 5.04 Inspection; Computer Tape.
-------------------------
a. At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business hours
to the Servicer's records, 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
5-1
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 2001-3 (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. "Eligible
--------
Investments" are any of the following:
-----------
(i) direct obligations of, and obligations fully guaranteed by, the
United States of America, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the
Federal National Mortgage Association, or any agency or instrumentality of
the United States of America the obligations of which are backed by the
full faith and credit of the United States of America and which are
noncallable;
(ii) (A) demand and time deposits in, certificates of deposit of,
bankers' acceptances issued by, or federal funds sold by any depository
institution or trust
5-2
company (including the Trustee or any Affiliate of the Trustee, acting in
its commercial capacity) incorporated under the laws of the United States
of America or any State thereof and subject to supervision and examination
by federal and/or state authorities, so long as, at the time of such
investment or contractual commitment providing for such investment, the
commercial paper or other short-term deposits of such depository
institution or trust company (or, in the case of a depository institution
which is the principal subsidiary of a holding company, the commercial
paper or other short-term debt obligations of such holding company) are
rated at least P-1 by ▇▇▇▇▇'▇, at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's and at
least F-1 by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and (B) any other demand or time
deposit or certificate of deposit which is fully insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation;
(iii) shares of an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, whose shares are registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 and have the highest credit rating then available from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ and
Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and are rated AAAm or AAAm-G by Standard & Poor's
and whose only investments are in securities described in clauses (i), (ii)
above and (iv) below;
(iv) repurchase obligations with respect to (A) any security
described in clause (i) above or (B) any other security issued or
guaranteed by an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America,
in either case entered into with a depository institution or trust company
(acting as principal) described in clause (ii)(A) above;
(v) securities bearing interest or sold at a discount issued by any
corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or
any State thereof which have a credit rating of at least Aa2 from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇,
at least AAA by Standard & Poor's and in one of the two highest rating
categories from Fitch (if rated by Fitch) at the time of such investment;
provided, however, that securities issued by any particular corporation
will not be Eligible Investments to the extent that investment therein will
cause the then outstanding principal amount of securities issued by such
corporation and held as part of the corpus of the Trust to exceed 10% of
amounts held in the Certificate Account;
(vi) commercial paper having a rating of at least A-1+ from Standard
& Poor's (if rated by Standard & Poor's) and at least P-1 from ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ at
the time of such investment or pledge as a security; and
(vii) other obligations or securities that are acceptable to the
Rating Agencies as an Eligible Investment hereunder and will not reduce the
rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies
below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such
Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency, as evidenced in
writing;
provided that any such investment must constitute a "cash flow investment"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
5-3
Notwithstanding the foregoing, securities that represent the right to receive
payments only of interest due on underlying obligations shall not be included as
Eligible Investments, whether or not such securities otherwise fall within (i)
through (vii) above.
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,
▇▇▇▇▇'▇, 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 sue 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.
5-4
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 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
5-5
foreclosure sale for an amount not less than the greater of: (i) the highest
amount bid by any 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 of 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.
------------------------
5-6
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: (a) 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 (b)
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
5-7
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
5-8
Servicer shall take all necessary steps to apply for a replacement title
document showing it or the Trustee as the secured party.
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.
6-7
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, Intermediate REMIC or 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
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.

If an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, either the
Trustee or Certificateholders with aggregate Percentage Interests representing

Trustee if given by the Certificateholders) may terminate all (but not less than
all) of the Servicer's management, administrative, servicing and collection
functions (such termination being herein called a "Service Transfer"). On
receipt of
7-1
such notice (or, if later, on a date designated therein), or upon resignation of
the Servicer in accordance with Section 12.01, all authority and power of the
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Contracts, the
Contract Files, the Land-and-Home Contract Files or otherwise (except with
respect to the Certificate Account, the transfer of which shall be governed by
Section 7.06), shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Trustee is authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact
or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments (including, without
limitation, documents required to make the Trustee or a successor servicer the
sole lienholder or legal title holder of record of each Manufactured Home) and
to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes

its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Contracts and
the execution of any documents required to make the Trustee or a successor
servicer the sole lienholder or legal title holder of record in respect of each
Manufactured Home. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive any other amounts
which are payable to the Servicer under the Agreement, at the time of the
termination of its activities as Servicer. The Servicer shall transfer to the

On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.02 or the resignation of the Servicer in accordance with
Section 12.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for 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 the Servicer shall be relieved of such
responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Service Transfer;
provided, however, that (i) the Trustee will not assume any obligations of the
Originator pursuant to Section 3.06 and (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for
any acts or omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such Service Transfer
or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations contained herein or
in any related document or agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation out of the Monthly
Servicing Fee and the Additional Monthly 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 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,
7-2

Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

Contracts after the effective date of the Service Transfer.
b. 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 new Servicer shall have all of such
obligations, except that the replaced Servicer will transmit or cause to be

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.
c. 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

d. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee, any assignee described in

f. On and after the Remittance Date occurring in the month following the
Due Period specified in subsection (d), if the Class C Subsidiary

-----------------------------------------------------
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.
b. The provisions of this subsection (b) also apply 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) unless such transfer is made by the Originator to any
of the Underwriters, 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, Class B-3I Certificate or
Class C Certificate or any interest therein, shall be made to any employee
benefit plan, trust or
9-2
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) no
Class C 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, (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 a
Class C 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 a 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).
9-3
(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.
(5) The Trustee shall give notice to the Rating Agencies 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.
e. If (x) 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 (y) the Trustee or the Originator is unable
to locate a qualified successor or (z) 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,
9-4
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 one Class A-1 Certificate, one Class A-2 Certificate, one Class A-3
Certificate, one Class A-4 Certificate, 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
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.
9-5
SECTION 9.04 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
-------------------------------------------------
If (a) 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 (b) 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 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.
9-6
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."

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

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 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) 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
10-1
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.
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:
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; and
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.
11-1
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:
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
11-2
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; and
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
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 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 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 M
Certificateholders and Class B Certificateholders. Holders of Class A
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 and the Class M
Certificateholders have either been made or provided
11-3
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 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, 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:
a. to 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)
including the services provided in connection with any auctions pursuant to
Section 8.05(e);
b. 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 (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, and reasonable
compensation expenses and disbursements in connection with any auctions pursuant
to Section 8.05(e)), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
c. to 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, Paying Agent, Custodian and Certificate Registrar
hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
------------------------------------
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a financial institution

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
11-4
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

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 the Rating Agencies. 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.
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
11-5
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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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 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 the Rating Agencies 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 furnish the Servicer with all
such information as the Servicer may reasonably require in connection with
preparing all tax returns of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC and
the Master REMIC and the Trustee shall execute such 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:
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;
11-6
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 ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ 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; and
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.
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 (i) with respect to the holding of
the Contracts, the Contract Files and the Land-and-Home Contract Files or (ii)
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:
(A) 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;
(B) 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
11-7
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;
(C) 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
(D) 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 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.

SECTION 12.01 Servicer Not to Assign Duties or Resign; Delegation of
------------------------------------------------------
Servicing Functions.
-------------------
The Servicer may not sell or assign its rights and duties as Servicer
hereunder, except as expressly provided for herein, provided that the Servicer
may pledge or assign the right to receive all or any portion of the Monthly
Servicing Fee payable to it. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that the performance
of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or is in
material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried
on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for the Servicer to such effect
addressed and delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Sections
7.02 and 7.03.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
a. Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
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
the criteria set forth in the definition of an Eligible Servicer. The Servicer
shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies of any such merger to 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
the Servicer hereunder and who satisfies the criteria set forth in the
definition of "Eligible Servicer," shall become the Servicer hereunder. The
Servicer shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies 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.
SECTION 12.02 Maintenance of Office or Agency.
-------------------------------
The Trustee will maintain in St. ▇▇▇▇, Minnesota, an office or agency where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates
and this Agreement may be served. On the date hereof the Trustee's office for
such purposes is located at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇. The Trustee will give prompt written notice
12-1
to Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register
or any such office or agency.
SECTION 12.03 Termination.
-----------
a. This Agreement, the Trust and each of the Subsidiary REMIC,
Intermediate REMIC and Master REMIC shall terminate (after distribution of all
amounts due to Certificateholders pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.03) on the
earlier of (a) the Remittance Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
is reduced to zero and all amounts payable to Certificateholders on such
Remittance Date have been distributed to Certificateholders or (b) the
Remittance Date on which the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder (or its
assignee) purchases the Contract pursuant to Section 8.05; provided, that in no
event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years
from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the
late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. ▇▇▇▇▇, living on the
date hereof; and provided further, that the Servicer's and the Originator's
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
REMIC within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee's acknowledgment
of a notice given under Section 8.05(b) shall constitute a plan of complete
liquidation of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC and the Master REMIC
within the meaning of Section 860F of the Code. Each Certificateholder hereby
irrevocably approves and appoints the Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for the
purposes of adoption of the plan of complete liquidation.
c. Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Remittance Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Remittance Date) upon which all
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee (upon direction by the Servicer ten days prior to the date such notice
is to be mailed) by letter to the Certificate Registrar, the Rating Agencies and
the Certificateholders mailed no later than ten Business Days before the Final
Remittance Date specifying (1) the Final Remittance Date upon which final
payment on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender of
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated; (2) the
amount of any such final payment; and (3) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Remittance Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of
the Trustee therein specified. Each such notice shall, to the extent required by
the REMIC Provisions or other applicable law, be signed on behalf of the Trust
and each of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Master REMIC by the
Trustee.
d. On the Final Remittance Date, upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed from the Certificate
Account, in the following order of priority, to Certificateholders on the Final
Remittance Date in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests an amount
equal to (i) as to Class A Certificates, the Class A Principal Balance, together
with any Unpaid Class A Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the
related Remittance Rate on the related Class Principal Balance (or Class A-IO
Notional Principal Balance), respectively (calculated in the manner specified in
Section 1.03), (ii) as to Class M-1
12-2
Certificates, the Class M-1 Principal Balance together with any Unpaid Class M-1
Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-1 Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and
one month's interest at the Class M-1 Remittance Rate on the Class M-1 Principal
Balance, (iii) as to Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-2 Principal Balance
together with any Unpaid Class M-2 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-2
Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class M-2
Remittance Rate on the Class M-2 Principal Balance, (iv) as to Class B-1
Certificates, the Class B-1 Principal Balance together with any Unpaid Class B-1
Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class B-1 Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and
one month's interest at the Class B-1 Remittance Rate on the Class B-1 Principal
Balance, (v) as to Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-2 Principal Balance
together with any Unpaid Class B-2 Interest Shortfall and one month's interest
at the Class B-2 Remittance Rate on the Class B-2 Principal Balance, (vi) as to
Class B-3I Certificates, the Class B-3I Distribution Amount for that Remittance
Date, and to the Class C Master Certificate, the amount which remains on deposit
in the Certificate Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims) after
application pursuant to clauses (i)-(viii) above; provided, however, that if the
Final Remittance Date occurs as a result of the sale of the Contracts pursuant
to Section 8.05, the amount so distributed to the Certificateholders shall not
exceed the Minimum Purchase Price and any balance shall be paid to the purchaser
of the Contracts. The distribution on the Final Remittance Date shall be in lieu
of the distribution otherwise required to be made on such Remittance Date in
respect of each Class of Certificates.
e. In the event that all of the Certificateholders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Originator shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
three months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Originator shall transfer to itself all
amounts remaining on deposit in the Certificate Account, to hold in trust for
Certificateholders who have not surrendered their Certificates for cancellation,
together with the final record list of Certificateholders, and the Originator
shall take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps,
to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain in trust hereunder.
f. Each Certificateholder hereby irrevocably approves and appoints the
Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes of adoption of the plan of
complete liquidation.
SECTION 12.04 Acts of Certificateholders.
--------------------------
a. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever
Certificateholder approval, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action is required hereunder, such approval, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be deemed to have been given or
taken on behalf of, and shall be binding upon, all Certificateholders if agreed
to by Holders of Certificates of the specified Class or Classes evidencing, as
to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 51% or more.
b. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders may be embodied
12-3
in and evidenced by one or more instruments 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) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee, the Servicer and the Originator if made in the manner provided in
this Section.
c. The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.

or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every holder of every Certificate

lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done by the Trustee,
the Servicer or the Originator in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Certificate.
f. The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred
to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.
SECTION 12.05 Calculations.

year and twelve 30-day months and will be carried out to at least three decimal
places.
SECTION 12.06 Assignment or Delegation by Originator.
--------------------------------------
Except as specifically authorized hereunder, and except for its obligations
as Servicer which are dealt with under Article V and Article VII, the Originator
may not 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, as to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66 2/3% or
more, and any 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.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person into which the Originator may be
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
contrary notwithstanding. The Originator shall promptly notify the Rating
Agencies of any such merger to which it is a party.
SECTION 12.07 Amendment.
---------
12-4
a. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Originator, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to correct manifest error, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, as
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
limitation, to implement any provision permitted by law that would enable a
REMIC to avoid the imposition of any tax, to add or amend any provision as
required by Standard & Poor's and ▇▇▇▇▇'▇ or any other nationally recognized
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 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 (a) 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, (b) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
holders of all Certificates then outstanding, (c) result in the disqualification
of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC as a REMIC under the
Code, (d) 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 or (e) 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. 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, Intermediate REMIC or 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.
12-5
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
shall be entitled to receive an unqualified Opinion of Counsel to the Servicer
to the effect that such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Agreement.
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.
i. Upon the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this
Section 12.07, this Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith, and
such amendment or consent shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes,
and every Certificateholder hereunder shall be bound thereby.

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
The opinion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇, Professional Association 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 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.
F-1
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 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
F-2
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
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 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
F-3
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 Capitalized Interest Account, Staged-Funding
Contract Reserve Account and 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) 548) as in
effect on the date hereof.

RE: Manufactured Housing Contract Senior/Subordinate Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2001-3, Class [B-2/B-3I/C Subsidiary/C
Intermediate/C Master]
[The undersigned purchaser (the "Purchaser") understands that the purchase
of the above-referenced certificates (the "Certificates") may be made only by
institutions which are "Accredited Investors" under Regulation D, as promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), which includes
banks, savings and loan associations, registered brokers and dealers, insurance
companies, investment companies, and organizations described in Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, corporations, business trusts and
partnerships, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Certificates
offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000. The undersigned represents
on behalf of the Purchaser that the Purchaser is an "Accredited Investor" within
the meaning of such definition. The Purchaser is urged to review carefully the
responses, representations and warranties it is making herein.]
Representations and Warranties
The Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties in order
to permit the Trustee, Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp., and [underwriter
of the Class B-2/B-3I/C Subsidiary/C Intermediate/C Master Certificate] to
determine its suitability as a purchaser of Certificates and to determine that
the exemption from registration relied upon by Conseco Finance Securitizations
Corp. under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act is available to it.
1. The Purchaser understands that the Certificates have not been and will
not be registered under the 1933 Act and may be resold (which resale is not
currently contemplated) only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the
1933 Act or if an exemption from registration is available, that Conseco Finance
Securitizations Corp. is not required to register the Certificates and that any
transfer must comply with Section 9.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
relating to the Certificates.
2. The Purchaser will comply with all applicable federal and state
securities laws in connection with any subsequent resale of the Certificates.
3. [The Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional investor and has
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates and is
able to bear the economic risk of such investment. The
L-1
Purchaser has reviewed the Prospectus dated August 27, 2001 and related
Prospectus Supplement dated August 27, 2001, with respect to the Certificates,
and has been given such information concerning the Certificates, the underlying
installment sale contracts and Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp. as it has
requested.]
4. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates as principal for its own
account (or for the account of one or more other institutional investors for
which it is acting as duly authorized fiduciary or agent) for the purpose of
investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
distribution thereof, subject nevertheless to any requirement of law that the
disposition of the Purchaser's property shall at all times be and remain within
its control.
5. The Purchaser does not qualify as (i) an employee benefit plan (a
"Plan") as defined in Section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), whether or not it is subject to the
provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (also a "Plan"), or (iii) an entity whose
underlying assets are deemed to be assets of a Plan by reason of such Plan's
investment in the entity (as determined under Department of Labor Regulations,
29 C.F.R. (S)2510.3-101 (1990)).
6. The Purchaser understands that such Certificate will bear a legend
substantially as set forth in the form of Certificate included in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
7. The Purchaser, as holder of the Class [B-2/B-3I/C Subsidiary/C
Intermediate/C Master] Certificate, acknowledges (i) it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the interest and (ii) it
intends to pay the taxes associated with holding the Class B-3I/C Subsidiary/C
Intermediate/C Master Certificate as they become due.
8. The Purchaser agrees that it will obtain from any purchaser of the
Certificates from it the same representations, warranties and agreements
contained in the foregoing paragraphs 1 through 7 and in this paragraph 8.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon
the heirs, executors, administrators and other successors of the undersigned.
If there is more than one signatory hereto, the obligations, representations,
warranties and agreements of the undersigned are made jointly and severally.
