SECTION 2.04. Acceptance by Trustee.
---------------------
a. On the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer Date, if the

SECTION 2.05. REMIC Provisions.
----------------
a. The Originator, as Servicer, and the Class C Subsidiary

and the Master REMIC for its first taxable year shall provide that the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, as the case may be (excluding the
Capitalized Interest Account, the obligation and related demand note of the
Originator pursuant to Section 3.06(c), the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account and the Pre-Funding Account) elects to be treated as a REMIC for such
taxable year and all subsequent taxable years. In furtherance of the foregoing,
the Trustee (at the direction of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer) and
the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer shall take, or refrain from taking,
all such action as is necessary to maintain the status of each of the Subsidiary
REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC under the REMIC provisions of the Code,
including, but not limited to, the taking of such action as is necessary to cure
any inadvertent termination of REMIC status.

Interests will, in fact, mature on any given date. The Class C Subsidiary
Certificates are being issued in a single Class

<PAGE>
and are hereby designated by the Seller as constituting the sole class of
"residual interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2)
of the Code.
d. The Closing Date, which is the day on which each of the Subsidiary
REMIC and the Master REMIC will issue all of its regular and residual interests,
is hereby designated as the "startup day" of both the Subsidiary REMIC and the
Master REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.
e. After the Closing Date, neither the Trustee, the Originator, the
Seller nor any Servicer shall (i) accept any contribution of assets to the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, (ii) dispose of any portion of the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, other than as provided in Sections 3.06,
3.07 and 8.05, (iii) engage in any "prohibited transaction," as defined in
Sections 860F(a)(2) and (5) of the Code, except as may be contemplated by
Section 3.06(c), (iv) accept any contribution after the Closing Date that is
subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code or (v) engage in any
activity or enter into any agreement that would result in the receipt by the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC of any "net income from foreclosure
property" as defined in Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code, unless, prior to any
such action set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) the Trustee shall
have received an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trust, stating that such action will not, directly or indirectly,
(A) adversely affect the status of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a
REMIC or the status of the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests as "regular
interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the Class C Subsidiary
Certificates as the sole class of "residual interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC,
the status of the Regular Certificates as "regular interests" in the Master
REMIC, or the status of the Class C Master Certificates as the sole class of
"residual interests" in the Master REMIC, (B) affect the distributions payable
hereunder to the Certificateholders or (C) result in the imposition of any lien,
charge or encumbrance upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC.
f. 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 or the 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 or the Master REMIC, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Uncertificated
Subsidiary Interests, Class C Subsidiary Certificates, Regular Certificates or
Class C Master Certificates 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 or the Master REMIC of any "income
from nonpermitted assets," within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the
Code.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
------------------------------
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. 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),

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

adverse effect on the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial
or other) of the Seller.

----------------------------------
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
3-1
<PAGE>
agreement to which the Seller or Originator is a party or by which the
Seller may be bound.
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 or 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.
3-2
<PAGE>
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
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.
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 a valid and perfected and
enforceable first priority security interest in such Contract and
Manufactured Home.
3-3
<PAGE>
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 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 a valid and perfected and enforceable first priority security
interest in such Land-and-Home Contract.
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.
The Originator has not sold, assigned or pledged the Contract to any person
and prior to 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 Cut-off Date or Subsequent Cut-off Date,
-----------
as applicable, 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
<PAGE>
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 320 Step-up Rate Contracts
------------------
included among the Initial Contracts and 250 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, 569 provide for two rate
increases and one provides 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. Each Contract (other
than the Land-and-Home Contracts) has been stamped to reflect the
assignment of such Contract to the Trustee.
s. Loan-to-Value Ratio. At the time of their origination all of the
-------------------
Contracts had Loan-to-Value Ratios not greater than 100%; if the related
Manufactured Home was new at the time such Contract was originated, the
original principal balance of such Contract did not exceed 130% of the
manufacturer's invoice price, plus 100% of the taxes and license fees, 130%
of the freight charges, 100% of the dealer's cost of additional dealer-
installed equipment (not to exceed 25% of the original principal balance of
such Contract in all states except California; not to exceed 70% of the
manufacturer's invoice price in California if required to meet park
requirements) and up to $1,500 of set-up costs per module.
t. Primary Resident. At the time of origination of the Contract the
----------------
Obligor was the primary resident of the related Manufactured Home.
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
3-5
<PAGE>
issued within 180 days and will show, the Originator or its assignee as the
holder of a first priority security interest in such Manufactured Home; if
the related Manufactured Home is located in a state in which the filing of
a financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security
interest in manufactured housing, such filings or recordings have been duly
made and show the Originator or its assignee as secured party. If the
related Manufactured Home secures a Land-and-Home Contract, such
Manufactured Home is subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the
appropriate public recording office or such Mortgage will be properly filed
in the appropriate public recording office within 180 days, naming the
Seller as mortgagee. In either case, the Trustee has the same rights as the
secured party of record would have (if such secured party were still the
owner of the Contract) against all Persons (including the Seller and the
Originator and any trustee in bankruptcy of the Seller or the Originator)
claiming an interest in such Manufactured Home.
w. Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act. The related
-----------------------------------------
Manufactured Home is a "manufactured home" within the meaning of 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.

SECTION 3.03. Additional Representations and Warranties. The Seller
-----------------------------------------
hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date
with respect to each Contract identified on the list of Contracts 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

Certificates or Class C 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

binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with its
respective terms.

SECTION 3.06. Repurchase of Contracts or Substitution of Contracts for
--------------------------------------------------------
Breach of Representations and Warranties.
----------------------------------------
a. The Originator shall repurchase a Contract, at its Repurchase
Price, not later than the last day of the month prior to the month that is 90
days after the day on which the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller or the
Trustee first discovers or should have discovered a breach of a representation
or warranty of the Originator set forth in Sections 2.02(n), 3.02, 3.03 or 3.05
of this Agreement that materially adversely affects the Trust's or the
Certificateholders' interest in such Contract and which breach has not been
cured; provided, however, that (i) in the event that a party other than the
Originator first becomes aware of such breach, such discovering party shall
notify the Originator in writing within five Business Days of the date of such
discovery and (ii) with respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the
List of Contracts with respect to unpaid principal balance, which the Originator
would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section, the
Originator may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deliver to the Seller for
deposit in the Certificate Account no later than the first Determination Date
that is 90 or more days from the date of such discovery cash in an amount
sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy. Any such cash so deposited
shall be distributed to Certificateholders on the immediately following
Remittance Date as a collection of principal or interest on such Contract,
according to the nature of the deficiency or discrepancy. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this
Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Originator shall repurchase any Land-and-Home
Contract, at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or substitute for it an Eligible
Substitute Contract as described in Section 3.06(b), if the Seller has failed to
deliver the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Trustee within 30 days of
the Closing Date.
b. On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, the Originator, at its election, may substitute one or more
Eligible Substitute Contracts for any Contracts that it is obligated to
repurchase pursuant to Section 3.06(a) (such Contracts being referred to as the
"Replaced Contracts") upon satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the Originator shall have conveyed to the Seller the
Contracts to be substituted for the Replaced Contracts and the
Contract Files related to such Contracts and the Originator shall have
marked the Electronic Ledger indicating that such Contracts constitute
part of the Trust;
(ii) the Contracts to be substituted for the Replaced Contracts
are Eligible Substitute Contracts and the Originator delivers an
Officers' Certificate, substantially in
3-10
<PAGE>
the form of Exhibit L-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
Minnesota, listing such Contracts as collateral, or shall have delivered to
the Seller or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended List of
Contracts;
(iv) in respect of Eligible Substitute Contracts that are Land-and-
Home Contracts:
(x) the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller, or its
Custodian, the related Land-and-Home Contract Files; and
(y) 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 (including, but not limited to, the Manufactured Home
located on such real property, to the extent it is considered
or classified as part of the real estate under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is located) securing such Eligible
Substitute Contracts, or evidence of recordation of the
assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of each
Mortgage securing such Eligible Contracts;
(v) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Contracts for
such Replaced Contracts will not cause the Trust 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
more than 90 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 Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
Moody's.

<PAGE>
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 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 October 2000.
(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
3-12
<PAGE>
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 L-1 or L-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.
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 or the Master REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC while any
regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC or the 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
3-13
<PAGE>
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(r). 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 2000-4."
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 Trustee shall release to the Seller 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 the Unfunded Contract Shortfall
from the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account and shall apply said funds in
the fashion provided in the second sentence in Section 3.06(c)(iii). Any amount
so applied shall be 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 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
3-14
<PAGE>
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.

--------------------
a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section the Trustee
appoints the Servicer to maintain custody of the Contract Files for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the Trustee. The Custodian shall maintain custody

delivery of an agreement between the Trustee and the Person assuming the duties
of the Trustee hereunder as Custodian with respect to the Land-and-Home Contract
Files, the replacement Custodian shall concurrently execute an acknowledgment of
receipt of the Land-and-Home Contract Files substantially in the form of Exhibit
H hereto.
b. The Servicer agrees to maintain the related Contract Files at
its office where they are currently maintained, or at such other offices of the
Servicer in the State of Minnesota as shall from time to time be identified to
the Trustee by written notice. The Servicer may temporarily move individual
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. As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the following
powers and duties:
(i) hold the 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 held by it under

by a Servicing Officer, with respect to persons authorized to have
access to the Contract Files on the Servicer's premises and the
receipting for Contract Files taken from their storage area by an
employee of the Servicer for purposes of servicing or any other
purposes; and
(iii) attend to all details in connection with maintaining
custody of the Contract Files on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee.
d. In performing its duties under this Section, the Servicer 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
Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure by it to hold the
Contract Files as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such failure. In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the
Servicer agrees further not to assert any beneficial ownership interests in the
Contracts or the Contract Files. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the
Certificateholders and the Trustee for any and all
4-1
<PAGE>
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any
kind whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the
Certificateholders and the Trustee as the result of any act or omission by the
Servicer relating to the maintenance and custody of the Contract Files;
provided, however, that the Servicer will not be liable for any portion of any
such amount resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Certificateholder or the Trustee.

-------
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator shall cause the UCC-1
financing statement referred to in Section 2.02(h) to be filed. Trustee shall

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

property of the Trust.
SECTION 4.03. Name Change or Relocation.
-------------------------
a. During the term of this Agreement, the Originator shall change its
name, identity or structure 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 S&P, Fitch and Moody's.
b. If any change in the Originator's name, identity or structure or the
relocation of its chief executive office would make any financing or
continuation statement or notice of lien filed under this Agreement seriously
misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title
statute or would cause any such financing or continuation statement or notice of
lien to become unperfected (whether immediately or with lapse of time), the
Originator, no later than five days after the effective date of such change,
shall file, or cause to be filed, such amendments or financing statements as may
be required to preserve, perfect and protect the Certificateholders' interest in
the Contracts and proceeds thereof and in the Manufactured Homes.

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.
5-1
<PAGE>
Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the Trustee may make,
the Trustee may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of
each Contract and review the Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for
conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Article VI and compliance
with the standards represented to exist as to each Contract in this Agreement.
b. At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available
a copy of the List of Contracts at its principal executive office for inspection
by Certificateholders.
c. On or before the ninth Business Day of each related Due Period, the
Servicer will provide to the Trustee a Computer Tape setting forth a list of all
the outstanding Contracts and the outstanding principal balance of each such
Contract as of the end of the next related Due Period.
SECTION 5.05. Certificate Account.
-------------------
a. On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the
Certificate Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account.
The Certificate Account shall be entitled "U.S. Bank National Association as
Trustee for the benefit of holders of Manufactured Housing Contract Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-4 (Conseco Finance Corp., Servicer)." The Servicer
shall pay into the Certificate Account as promptly as practicable (not later
than the next Business Day) following receipt thereof all payments from Obligors
and Net Liquidation Proceeds, other than late payment penalty fees, extension
fees and assumption fees, which shall be retained by the Servicer as additional
compensation for servicing the Contracts. All amounts paid into the Certificate
Account under this Agreement shall be held in trust for the Trustee and the
Certificateholders until payment of any such amounts is authorized under this
Agreement. Only the Trustee may withdraw funds from the Certificate Account.
b. If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the
Certificate Account shall, in the name of the Trustee in its capacity as such,
invest the amounts in the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments that
mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Remittance
Date. Once such funds are invested, such institution shall not change the
investment of such funds. All income and gain from such investments shall be
added to the Certificate Account and distributed on such Remittance Date
pursuant to Section 8.03(a). An amount equal to any net loss on such investments
shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. The Servicer and
the Trustee shall in no way be liable for losses on amounts invested in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Certificate Account not so
invested must be insured to the extent permitted by law by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. "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;
5-2
<PAGE>
(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 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 Moody's, 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 Moody's 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 Moody's,
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 and at least P-1 from Moody's (if rated by Moody's) at the time of
such investment or pledge as a security; and
(vii) other obligations or securities that are acceptable to Moody's,
Fitch and Standard & Poor's as an Eligible Investment hereunder and will
not reduce the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by Moody's,
Fitch or Standard & Poor's below the lower of the then-current rating or
the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by Moody's,
Fitch and Standard & Poor's, as evidenced in writing;
5-3
<PAGE>
provided that any such investment must constitute a "cash flow investment"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
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,
Moody's, Fitch or the Servicer or otherwise) that the Certificate Account has
ceased to be an Eligible Account, the Trustee must, as soon as practicable but
in no event later than 5 Business Days of the Trustee's receipt of such notice,
transfer the Certificate Account and all funds and Eligible Investments therein
to an Eligible Account. Following any such transfer, the Trustee must notify
each of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch 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.
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
<PAGE>
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 one of the Contracts that were 60 or more days
delinquent as of the Closing Date ("Delinquent Contracts") 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
<PAGE>
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 on any Contract, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee and Conseco Finance Corp. (if Conseco Finance Corp. is not the Servicer)
on the next succeeding Remittance Date by certification of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in
the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so deposited). The
Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction of such Contract
and to do such other acts and execute such other documents as the Servicer deems
necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and eliminate the lien on the
related real estate. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been paid
in full; to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Contract
credited by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall
shall be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds.
b. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosure in
connection with any Land-and-Home Contract, the Trustee shall, upon written
request of a Servicing Officer and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed
by such Servicing Officer, cause the original Land-and-Home Contract and the
related Land-and-Home Contract File to be released to the Servicer and shall
execute such documents as the Servicer shall deem necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings. The Trustee shall stamp the face of each such Land-and-
Home Contract to be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Land-and-
Home Contract has been assigned to the Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by
the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the
Certificateholders' and Class C Certificateholders' rights and remedies with
respect to Contracts.
c. The Servicer's receipt of a Land-and-Home Contract and/or Land-and-
Home Contract File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Land-and-
Home Contract and the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Trustee when
its need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Contract shall be liquidated or
repurchased or replaced as described in Section 3.06.
SECTION 5.08. Costs and Expenses.
------------------
All costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties
hereunder, including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement of Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts and
repossessions of Manufactured Homes securing such Contracts) shall be paid by
the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement hereunder,
except that the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of
a Liquidated Contract for Liquidation Expenses incurred by it. The Servicer
shall not incur such Liquidation Expenses unless it determines in its good faith
business judgment that incurring such expenses will increase the Net Liquidation
Proceeds on the related Contract.
5-6
<PAGE>
SECTION 5.09. Maintenance of Insurance.
------------------------
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.
5-7
<PAGE>
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 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 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."
5-8
<PAGE>
SECTION 5.12. Retitling; Security Interests.
-----------------------------
a. If, at any time, a Service Transfer has occurred and Conseco Finance
Corp. is no longer the Servicer and the new Servicer is unable to foreclose upon
a Manufactured Home because the title document for such Manufactured Home does
not show such Servicer or the Trustee as the holder of the first priority
security interest in the Manufactured Home, such Servicer shall take all
necessary steps to apply for a replacement title document showing it or the
Trustee as the secured party.
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 5.13. Covenants, Representations and Warranties of Servicer. By
-----------------------------------------------------
its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer makes the following
representations, warranties and covenants on which the Trust relies in accepting
the Contracts and issuing the Certificates.
(a) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer 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 Servicer 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 Servicer, or its
ability to carry out its obligations hereunder.

<PAGE>
(b) Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Servicer has the power and
----------------------------------
authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement and has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this

bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
(c) No Consent Required. The Servicer 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

enforceability of this Agreement, except for such consents, licenses, approvals
and authorizations as have been obtained.
(d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer
-------------
of this Agreement and the fulfillment of its terms will not violate any
provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court

constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other
agreement to which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer may be
bound.
(e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before
----------
any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the

consequences of which would materially and adversely affect its performance
hereunder. The Servicer is not in default under any agreement involving
financial obligations or on any outstanding obligation which would materially
adversely impact its financial condition or operations or legal documents
associated with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
(h) No Impairment. The Servicer shall do nothing to impair the rights of

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 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
or Master REMIC by the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility
whatsoever for the
6-7
<PAGE>
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 and the 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 and the Master REMIC, respectively, if, and during such
time as, the Servicer is not the holder of a Class C Certificate. The Servicer
may, at its expense, retain such outside assistance as it deems necessary in the
performance of its obligations under this paragraph.
Each of the Holders of the Certificates, by acceptance thereof, agrees to
file tax returns consistent with and in accordance with any elections, decisions
or other reports made or filed with regard to federal, state or local taxes on
behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC. The Originator, as agent for
the tax matters person, shall represent the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC
in connection with all examinations of the Subsidiary REMIC's or the Master
REMIC's affairs 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 Certificateholders and the Class C Master
Certificateholders shall pay, on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC or the 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 or the 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
6-8
<PAGE>
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.

corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or

Trustee if given by the Certificateholders) may
7-1
<PAGE>
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 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 of such notice of
termination. Each of the Originator and the Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of
the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the
Certificate Account, or for its own account in connection with 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 new servicer (i) the
Servicer's records relating to the Contracts in such electronic form as the new

and-Home Contract Files in the Servicer's possession.
SECTION 7.03. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.

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
7-2
<PAGE>
Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Contracts as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however,
that no such monthly compensation shall, without the written consent of 100% of
the Certificateholders, exceed the sum of the Monthly Servicing Fee plus the
Additional Monthly Servicing Fee. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any

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.

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.

Trust at a price (such price being referred to as the "Minimum Purchase Price")
equal to the greater of:
8-8
<PAGE>
A. the sum of (x) 100% of the principal balance of each Contract (other
than any Contract as to which title to the underlying property has
been acquired and whose fair market value is included pursuant to
clause (y) below), plus (y) the fair market value of such acquired
property (as determined by the Originator as of the close of business
on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of
any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 12.04) or
B. the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Originator as of
the close of business on such third Business Day) of all of the assets

b. The purchase by the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder of all of the
Contracts pursuant to Section 8.05(a) above shall be at the option of the Class
C Subsidiary Certificateholder, but shall be conditioned upon (1) the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance, at the time of any such purchase, aggregating not
more than 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, (2) such purchase
being made pursuant to a plan of complete liquidation of each of the Subsidiary
REMIC and the Master REMIC in accordance with Section 860F of the Code, as
provided in Section 12.03, (3) the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder having
provided the Trustee and the Depository (if any) with at least 30 days' written
notice and (4) the Originator or the Servicer (as applicable) shall have
delivered to the Trustee an unqualified Opinion of Counsel stating that payment
of the purchase price to the Certificateholders will not constitute a voidable
preference or fraudulent transfer under the United States Bankruptcy Code. If
such option is exercised, the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder, as
applicable, shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section
12.03, which certificate shall constitute a plan of complete liquidation of each
of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC within the meaning of Section 860F
of the Code, and the Trustee shall promptly sign such certification and release
to the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder, the Contract Files and Land-and-

c. The Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder may assign its rights under
this Section 8.05, separately from its other rights as Holder of the Class C
Subsidiary Certificates, by giving written notice of such assignment to the
Trustee. Following the Trustee's receipt of such notice of assignment, the
Trustee shall recognize only such assignee (or its assignee in turn) as the
Person entitled to exercise the purchase option set forth in Section 8.05(a).
d. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder (whether or not the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder has
then assigned its rights under this Section 8.05 pursuant to subsection (c)) no
later than two Business Days after the Determination
8-9
<PAGE>
Date relating to the first Due Period which includes the date on which the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance first becomes less than or equal to 20% of the Cut-
off Date Pool Principal Balance, to the effect that the Pool Scheduled Principal
Balance is then less than or equal to 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal
Balance.
e. If the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder (or its assignee) has not
delivered to the Trustee the notice of exercise of its purchase option required
by subsection (b) by the Remittance Date occurring in the month following the
Determination Date specified in subsection (d), then promptly after the
following Remittance Date the Trustee shall begin a process for soliciting bids
in connection with an auction for the Contracts. The Trustee shall provide the
Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder (or its assignee) written notice of such
auction at least 10 Business Days prior to the date bids must be received in
such auction (the "Auction Date").
If at least two bids are received, the Trustee shall solicit and resolicit
new bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains or the
remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids. The Trustee shall accept the
highest of such remaining bids if it is equal to or in excess of the greater of
(i) the Minimum Purchase Price and (ii) the fair market value of the Contracts
and related property (such amount being referred to as the "Minimum Auction
Price"). If less than two bids are received or the highest bid after the
resolicitation process is completed is not equal to or in excess of the Minimum
Auction Price, the Trustee shall not consummate such sale. If a bid meeting the
Minimum Purchase Price is received, then the Trustee may, and if so requested by
the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder shall, consult with a financial
advisor, which may be an underwriter of the Certificates, to determine if the
fair market value of the Contracts and related property has been offered.
If the first auction conducted by the Trustee does not produce any bid at
least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, then the Trustee shall, beginning on
the Remittance Date occurring approximately three months after the Auction Date
for the failed first auction, commence another auction in accordance with the
requirement of this subsection (e). If such second auction does not produce any
bid at least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, then the Trustee shall,
beginning on the Remittance Date occurring approximately three months after the
Auction Date for the failed second auction, commence another auction in
accordance with the requirements of this subsection (e), and shall continue to
conduct similar auctions approximately every three months thereafter until the
earliest of (i) delivery by the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder or its
assignee of notice of exercise of its purchase option under subsection (a), (ii)
receipt by the Trustee of a bid meeting the conditions specified in the
preceding paragraph, or (iii) the Remittance Date on which the principal balance
of all the Contracts is reduced to zero.
If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions specified in this
subsection (e), then the Trustee's written acceptance of such bid shall
constitute a plan of complete liquidation with the meaning of Section 860F of
the Code, and the Trustee shall release to the winning bidder, upon payment of
the bid purchase price, the Contract Files pertaining to the Contracts being
purchased.

c. The Certificates shall be executed by manual signature on behalf of
the Trustee by a duly authorized Responsible Officer or authorized signatory.

proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
execution and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the
date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate has
been executed by manual signature in accordance with this Section, and such
signature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only
evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed and delivered hereunder.
All Certificates
9-1
<PAGE>
shall be dated the date of their execution, except for those Certificates
executed on the Closing Date, which shall be dated the Closing Date.
SECTION 9.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
-----------------------------------------------------
a. The Trustee shall keep at the office or agency to be maintained in
accordance with Section 12.02 a "Certificate Register" in which the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee initially appoints
itself to be the "Certificate Registrar" and transfer agent for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as provided
herein. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to Certificateholders and
the Servicer of any change in the Certificate Registrar.
b. (1) Subject to clauses (2) and (3) below, no transfer of a Class B-2
Certificate, Class B-3I Certificate, Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C
Master Certificate shall be made by the Originator or any other Person unless
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, as
amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the Act and laws. In the event that any such transfer is to be made, (A) the
Originator may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Originator that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from the Act and laws or is being made pursuant to the Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Originator, and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an
investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit M 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, Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder or Class C Master 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 M-1 Certificate, a Class M-2 Certificate,
a Class B Certificate, a Class B-3I Certificate, a Class C Subsidiary
Certificate or a Class C Master Certificate or any interest therein shall be
made to any employee benefit plan, trust or account that is subject to ERISA, or
that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code (each, a "Plan"), unless the
prospective transferee of a Certificate or interest therein provides the
Servicer and the Trustee with a certification of facts and, at its own expense,
an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Servicer and
the Trustee that such transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the Servicer, the Originator or the
Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result in the imposition of an
excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A)
neither the Class C Subsidiary Certificate nor the Class C Master Certificate,
nor any interest therein, shall be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of to
a "disqualified organization," within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the
Code (a "Disqualified Organization"), including, but not limited to, (i) the
United States, a state or political subdivision thereof, a foreign government,
an
9-2
<PAGE>
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 the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C Master Certificate,
the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee, under penalties of
perjury, an affidavit that such transferee is not a Disqualified Organization,
with respect to which the Trustee shall have no actual knowledge that such
affidavit is false, and the transferor and the proposed transferee shall each
deliver for the Trustee an affidavit with respect to any other information
reasonably required by the Trustee pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, including,
without limitation, information regarding the transfer of noneconomic residual
interests and transfers of any residual interest to or by a foreign person;
provided, however, that, upon the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of
Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and rendered by
Independent counsel, to the effect that the beneficial ownership of the Class C
Subsidiary Certificate or the Class C Master Certificate, as the case may be, by
any Disqualified Organization will not result in the imposition of federal
income tax upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC or any
Certificateholder or any other person or otherwise adversely affect the status
of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC, the foregoing
prohibition on transfers, sales and other dispositions, as well as the foregoing
requirement to deliver a certificate prior to any registration thereof, shall,
with respect to such Disqualified Organization, terminate. Notwithstanding any
transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or
Class C Master 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 Subsidiary or
Class C Master Certificateholder, as the case may be, for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on the Class C
Subsidiary Certificate or Class C Master Certificate, and shall be deemed to
have no interest whatsoever in the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C
Master Certificate. Each Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master
Certificateholder, by his acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes
to have consented to the provisions of this Section 9.02(b)(3).
(4) Any transfer, sale or other disposition not in compliance with
the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) shall be deemed to be void and of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such transferee shall be deemed to not be
the Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions on such Certificate, and shall be deemed to have no
interest whatsoever in such Certificate.
(5) The Trustee shall give notice to Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
Moody's promptly following any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class B-
3I, Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master 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
9-3
<PAGE>
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 Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2
and Class B 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
Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B
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 Class A,
Class M and Class B 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, 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
9-4
<PAGE>
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-5 Certificate, two Class A-6
Certificates, one Class M-1 Certificate, one Class M-2 Certificate, one Class B-
1 Certificate and one Class B-2 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, respectively.
If, however, the aggregate principal amount of a Class of Class A Certificates,
Class M Certificates or Class B Certificates exceeds $200,000,000, one such
Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate and/or Class B Certificate will be
issued with respect to each $200,000,000 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.
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
9-5
<PAGE>
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.
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."

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

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
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

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

<PAGE>
all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation, in respect
of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer with respect to any
Contract. This indemnity shall survive any Service Transfer (but the original
Servicer's obligations under this Section 10.04 shall not relate to any actions
of any subsequent Servicer after a Service Transfer) and any payment of the
amount owing under, or any repurchase by the Originator of, any such Contract.
SECTION 10.05. Operation of Indemnities.
------------------------
Indemnification under this Article shall include, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the

the Servicer, as the case may be, without interest.

If Class C Subsidiary Certificateholders or Class C Master
Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 6.06, pay any taxes or charges imposed
upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the 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
Subsidiary Certificateholders or Class C Master Certificateholders 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 Subsidiary
Certificateholders or Class C Master Certificateholders 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.

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
11-1
<PAGE>
event from the Servicer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, as to
any Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer under
this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of,
the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee shall
not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 11.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
-------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01:
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,
11-2
<PAGE>
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of
such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost,
expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable
expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid
by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand; 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
11-3
<PAGE>
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

disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad
faith; and

1939, as amended. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least
annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining
authority, then for the purposes of this Section 11.06, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In addition, the
Trustee shall at all times have a long-term deposit rating (or, if the Trustee
is a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank holding company system and not rated, the
bank holding company shall have a long-term senior unsecured debt rating) from
Standard & Poor's of at least BBB or as shall be otherwise acceptable to
Standard & Poor's and a rating from Moody's (if rated by Moody's) of at least
Baa3 or as shall be otherwise acceptable to Moody's. In case at any time the

SECTION 11.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
---------------------------------
The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer and the Originator. A
copy of any such notice shall be sent to Standard & Poor's, Fitch and Moody's.
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 pursuant to a custodial agreement,
the predecessor Trustee and the custodian shall amend such custodial agreement
to make the successor Trustee the successor to the predecessor Trustee
thereunder; and the Servicer, the Originator and the predecessor Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section 11.08, the Servicer shall cause notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to be mailed to each Certificateholder at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
SECTION 11.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
----------------------------------
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 11.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Trustee shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
Moody's in the event it is a party to any merger, conversion or consolidation.

In connection with any offset defenses, or affirmative claims for recovery,
asserted in legal actions brought by Obligors under one or more Contracts based

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

making of Contracts. The Trustee is the holder of the Contracts only as
trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, and not as a principal or in
any individual or personal capacity;
b. The Trustee shall not be personally liable for or obligated to
pay Obligors any affirmative claims asserted thereby, or responsible to
Certificateholders for any offset defense amounts applied against Contract
payments, pursuant to such legal actions;
c. The Trustee will pay, solely from available Trust monies,
affirmative claims for recovery by Obligors only pursuant to final judicial
orders or judgments, or judicially approved settlement agreements,
resulting from such legal actions;
d. The Trustee will comply with judicial orders and judgments which
require its actions or cooperation in connection with Obligors' legal
actions to recover affirmative claims against Certificateholders.
e. The Trustee will cooperate with and assist Certificateholders in
their defense of legal actions by Obligors to recover affirmative claims if
such cooperation and assistance is not contrary to the interests of the
Trustee as a party to such legal actions and if the Trustee is
satisfactorily indemnified for all liability, costs and expenses arising
therefrom; 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
11-7
<PAGE>
(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 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.

otherwise required to be made on such Remittance Date in respect of each Class

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.

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

such action is made upon such Security.

merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion

---------
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

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, Fitch,
Moody's, or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization in

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

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

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
12-5

the Code.

Section 12.07, the Trustee shall furnish written notification to Standard &
Poor's, Fitch and Moody's of such solicitation. Promptly after the execution of

notification of the substance of such amendment to Standard & Poor's, Fitch,
Moody's and each Certificateholder.
e. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 12.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
f. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under

FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ORIGINATOR
---------------------------------------------
The opinion of Dorsey & Whitney LLP shall be to the effect that
(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 Originator is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement would
require such qualification.
2. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate action, duly executed and delivered by the Originator, and
constitutes the valid and binding obligations of the Originator 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 for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, except such as may be required under blue sky laws
under any jurisdiction in connection with the offering of the Regular
Certificates by the Underwriter 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 to the Trustee acting on behalf
of the Trust, nor the assignment of the Originator's security interest in the
related Manufactured Homes, nor the issuance or sale of the Certificates, nor
the execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Certificates or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.
6. There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the best of our
knowledge, actions, proceedings or investigations pending or overtly threatened
against the Originator before any court,
F-1
<PAGE>
administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, 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 Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, (C) which is likely materially and adversely to affect the
performance by the Originator of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, or (D)
seeking adversely to affect the federal income tax attributes of the
Certificates described in the Prospectus under the heading " Federal Income Tax
Consequences."
7. 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.
8. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Seller has
transferred to the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust all of the Originator's
right, title and interest in the Initial and Additional 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 relating to the Initial and Additional Contracts 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 Originator as
debtor and the Trust as secured party, and the filing of continuation statements
as required by Section 4.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is necessary
to perfect as against third parties the assignment of the Initial and Additional
Contracts by the Originator to the Trust. 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
characterized as a pledge securing a loan from the Certificateholders to the
Originator, it is our opinion that the Trustee would be deemed to have a valid
and perfected security interest in the Initial and Additional Contracts and the
proceeds thereof, which security interest would be prior to any other security
interest that may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in
the State of Minnesota and over any "lien creditor" (as defined in Minn. Stat.
(S)336.9-301(3)) who becomes such after the Closing Date, except that a
subsequent purchaser of any Initial and Additional 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 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 Trustee of the Land-and-Home Contracts.
9. 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 of a proper election, as of the date hereof each of the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC created pursuant to the Pooling and
F-2
<PAGE>
Servicing Agreement will qualify as a REMIC. Further, the Regular Certificates
will evidence ownership of the "regular interests" and the Class C Certificate
will evidence ownership of the single class of "residual interest" in the Master
REMIC. For Minnesota income tax purposes, and subject to the foregoing
assumptions, and the provisions of Minnesota law as of the date hereof, such
Trust will not be subject to tax and the income of such Trust will be taxable to
the holders of interests therein, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Code concerning REMICs as amended through December 31, 1999. Moreover,
ownership of a Certificate will not be a factor in determining whether such
owner is subject to Minnesota income taxes. Therefore, if the owner of a
Certificate 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 a Certificate.
10. 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 or 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.

4. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates as principal for its own
