conveyed to the Trustee and shall not claim any ownership interest in the
Contracts.
(b) Although the parties intend that the conveyance of the Contract
Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Contracts pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, if such
conveyances are deemed to be a loan, the parties intend that the rights and
obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The parties also intend and agree that GCC shall be
deemed to have granted to the Trustee, and GCC does hereby grant to the Trustee,
a perfected first-priority security interest in (i) all of its right, title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the Contracts
listed on the Contract Schedule, as amended from time to time (including the

notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of title;
provided, however, that GCC, so long as it is the Servicer, shall not be
- -------- -------
required to cause notations to be made on any document of title relating to any
Manufactured Home or to execute any transfer instrument relating to any
Manufactured Home (other than a notation or a transfer instrument necessary to
show the Contract Seller as the lienholder or legal title holder) or, except as
provided in Section 4.22, to file documents in real property records with
respect to a Manufactured Home or related Contract, absent notice from the
Trustee or the Contract Seller or actual knowledge that such Manufactured Home
that does not secure a Land Home Contract has become real property under
applicable state law; and further provided, that the Servicer shall have no
------- --------
obligation pursuant to this sentence with respect to any failure to maintain a
first-priority perfected security interest which results from a breach of any
representation or warranty in Section 3.02(j) or (u) as to the Trustee's
security interest in a Manufactured Home, except to enforce the Contract
Seller's obligations in respect thereof in Section 3.05. The Trustee and the
Contract Seller agree to take whatever action is necessary to enable the

----------------------------------
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 Agreement. When

-------------------------
will not change its name, identity or structure or relocate its chief executive

applicable provisions of the UCC or any title statute, the Contract Seller, no
later than five days after the effective date of such change, shall file such
amendments as may be required to preserve and protect the Certificateholders'

25
<PAGE>
(d) No Defenses. The Contract is not subject to any right of rescission,
-----------
setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the
operation of any of the terms of the Contract or the exercise of any right
thereunder will not render the Contract unenforceable in whole or in part or
subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted with respect thereto.

---------
a Hazard Insurance Policy in the amount required by Section 4.09. All premiums
due as of the Closing Date on such insurance have been paid in full to the
applicable providers of such insurance.
(f) Origination. To the knowledge of the Contract Seller, the Contract
-----------
was either (i) originated by a manufactured housing dealer acting in the regular
course of its business, and purchased on an individual basis by the Contract
Seller in the ordinary course of business, (ii) originated by the Contract
Seller in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) purchased from Bank of
America, FSB, which had originated such Contracts in the ordinary course of its
business.
(g) 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
such Contract from the Contract Seller to the Trust Fund under this Agreement
unlawful.
(h) Compliance with Law. All requirements of any federal, state or local
-------------------
law, including usury, truth-in-lending and equal credit opportunity laws and
lender licensing laws, applicable to the Contract have been complied with.

subordinated in whole or in part or rescinded, the Manufactured Home securing
the Contract has not been released from the lien of the Contract in whole or in
part and, in the case of a Land Home Contract, the related Mortgaged Property
has not been released from the related Mortgage.
(j) Valid Security Interest. The Contract, other than any Land Home
-----------------------
Contract, creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable (except as may be limited
by laws affecting creditors' rights generally) first-priority security interest
in favor of GCC as secured lender, or agent thereof, in the Manufactured Home
covered thereby; such security interest has been assigned by the Contract Seller
as secured lender to the Trustee in accordance with the terms herein and; the
Trustee has a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in such
Manufactured Home. Each Mortgage is a valid first lien in favor GCC on real
property securing the amount owed by the Obligor under the related Land Home
Contract subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally in the area wherein the property subject to the
Mortgage is located or specifically reflected in the appraisal obtained in
connection with the origination of the related Land Home and (c) other matters
to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. The
Contract Seller has assigned all of its right, title and interest in such Land
Home Contract and related Mortgage, including the security interest in the
Manufactured Home covered thereby, to the Trustee. The
26
<PAGE>
Trustee has and will have a valid and perfected and enforceable first priority
security interest in such Land Home Contract.
(k) Capacity of Parties. All parties to the Contract had capacity to
-------------------
execute the Contract.
(l) Good Title. It purchased the Contract for value and took possession
----------
thereof, without knowledge that the Contract was subject to any security
interest. It has not sold, assigned or pledged the Contract to any Person other
than the Trust Fund, and prior to the transfer of the Contract by the Contract
Seller to the Trust Fund, it had good and marketable title thereto free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim or security
interest and was the sole owner thereof with full right to transfer the Contract
to the Trust Fund.
(m) No Defaults. As of the Cut-Off Date, there was no default, breach,
-----------
violation or event permitting acceleration existing under the Contract and to
its knowledge, no event which, with notice and the expiration of any grace or
cure period, would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event
permitting acceleration under such Contract (except payment delinquencies
permitted by clause (a) above). The Contract Seller has not waived any such
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration.
(n) No Liens. As of the Closing Date, there are, to its knowledge, no
--------
liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the
Manufactured Home or any related Mortgaged Property securing the Contract which
are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
Contract.
(o) Installments. Such Contract provides for monthly payments of
------------
principal and interest which fully amortize the loan over its term. The
scheduled monthly payment allocable to interest on each Contract is calculated
on the basis that each scheduled monthly payment is applied on its Due Date,
regardless of when it is actually made.
(p) Enforceability. The Contract contains customary and enforceable
--------------
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the collateral of the benefits of the
security.
(q) Contract Schedule. The information set forth in the Contract
-----------------
Schedule is true and correct.
(r) One Original. There is only one original executed Contract. Such
------------
original Contract is in the custody of the Servicer on the Closing Date.
(s) Loan-to-Value Ratio. At the time of its origination, such Contract
-------------------
had a Loan-to-Value Ratio (rounded to the nearest 1%) not greater than 95%.
(t) Not Real Estate. With respect to each Contract other than a Land Home
---------------
Contract, the related Manufactured Home is personal property and is not
considered or classified as part of the real estate on which it is located under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located and was personal property
and was not considered or classified as part of the real estate on which it was
located under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was located at the time
the related
27
<PAGE>
Contract was executed by the parties thereto, and with respect to each Contract
including Land Home Contracts the related Manufactured Home is, to the Contract
Seller's knowledge, free of damage (including earthquake or hurricane damage)
and in good repair.
(u) Notation of Security Interest. With respect to each Contract other
-----------------------------
than a Land Home Contract, if the related Manufactured Home is located in a
state in which notation of a security interest on the title document is required
or permitted to perfect such security interest, the title document shows, or, if
a new or replacement title document with respect to such Manufactured Home is
being applied for, such title document will be issued within 180 days and will
show, GCC or BankAmerica Housing Services as the holder of a first-priority
security interest in such Manufactured Home. If the related Manufactured Home is
located in a state in which the filing of a financing statement or the making of
a fixture filing under the UCC is required to perfect a security interest in
manufactured housing, such filings have been duly made and show GCC or
BankAmerica Housing Services as the secured party. If the related Manufactured
Home secures a Land 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 GCC as mortgagee. In either case, the Trustee has the
same rights as the secured party of record would have (if such secured party
were still the owner of the Contract) against all Persons (including the
Contract Seller and any trustee in bankruptcy of GCC or BankAmerica Housing
Services) claiming an interest in such Manufactured Home. Assuming consummation
of the transactions contemplated herein the Trustee has the same rights as the
secured party of record would have (if such secured party were still the owner
of the Contract) against all Persons claiming an interest in such Manufactured
Home and, if applicable, such Mortgaged Property.
(v) Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act. The related Manufactured
-----------------------------------------
Home is a "manufactured home" within the meaning of 42 United States Code,
Section 5402(6). With respect to the Contracts originated by Bank of America,
FSB, Bank of America, FSB meets the requirements of Section 3(a)(41)(A)(ii) of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. As of the Cut-Off Date, the
Contract Seller was approved for insurance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development pursuant to Section 2 of the National Housing Act.
(w) Qualified Mortgage for REMIC. Each Contract is secured by a "single
----------------------------
family residence" within the meaning of Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. The fair
market value of the Manufactured Home securing each Contract was at least equal
to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Contract at either (i) the time the

Section 3.03 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contracts in the
-------------------------------------------------------------
Aggregate.
---------
The Contract Seller represents and warrants that:
(a) Amounts. The aggregate principal amounts payable by Obligors under
-------
the Contracts as of the Cut-Off Date (including scheduled principal payments due
on or after the Cut-Off Date but paid prior to the Cut-Off Date) equal or exceed
the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance. The aggregate principal amounts payable
by Obligors under the Contracts as of the Cut-Off Date (including scheduled
principal payments due on or after the Cut-Off Date but paid prior to the Cut-
Off Date) equal or exceed the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance. The
percentage (by outstanding principal balance as of the Cut-Off Date) of the
Contracts having a Net Contract Rate that is less than the Class A-4 Pass-
Through Rate is approximately 15.9%. The percentage (by outstanding principal
balance as of the Cut-Off Date) of the Contracts having a Net Contract Rate that
is less than the Class A-5 Pass-Through Rate is approximately 22.5%. As of the
Cut-Off Date, $7,871,422.67 of the aggregate principal amount of the Contracts
were originated and funded by Bank of America, FSB and $43,779,720.92 of the
aggregate principal amount of the Contracts were originated and partially funded
by Bank of America, FSB prior to September 30, 1998 and were fully funded by the
Contract Seller subsequent to such date.
(b) Characteristics. The Contracts have the following characteristics as
---------------
of the Cut-Off Date: (i) Contracts representing approximately 82% of the
Contracts by remaining principal balance are attributable to loans for purchases
of new Manufactured Homes, and approximately 18% thereof is attributable to
loans for purchases of used Manufactured Homes; (ii) not more than approximately

by remaining principal balance are secured by Manufactured Homes located in the
same manufactured housing park; (iii) no Contract has a remaining maturity of
more than 362 months; (iv) no Contract was originated before May, 1998; and (v)
the final scheduled payment date on the Contract with the latest maturity is in

(c) Computer Tape. The Computer Tape made available by the Servicer as
-------------
of the close of business on January 31, 1999 was accurate as of its date and
includes a description of the same Contracts that are described in the Contract
Schedule.
29
<PAGE>
(d) Marking Records. Within 7 days following the Closing Date, the
---------------
Contract Seller will have caused the portions of the electronic master record of
its manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment loan
agreements relating to the Contracts sold by it as of the Closing Date to be
clearly and unambiguously marked to indicate that such Contracts constitute part
of the Trust Fund and are owned by the Trust Fund in accordance with the terms
of the trust created hereunder.
(e) No Adverse Selection. Except to ensure compliance with the
--------------------
representations and warranties made in Sections 3.02 and 3.03, no selection
procedures have been intentionally employed to achieve an adverse effect on the
interests of the Certificateholders or the Insurer in selecting the Contracts.
Section 3.04 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contracts.
------------------------------------------------------
The Contract Seller represents and warrants that:
(a) Possession. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Servicer will
----------
have possession of each original Contract and the related Contract File or Land
Home Contract File, as applicable (except for any certificate of title that has
not yet been returned from the appropriate public recording office). There are
and there will be no custodial agreements in effect materially and adversely
affecting the right of the Contract Seller to make, or to cause to be made, any
delivery required hereunder.
(b) Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
------------------
Contracts, the Contract Files and the Land Home Contract Files by related
Contract Seller to the Trust Fund as contemplated by this Agreement are not
subject to the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in
any applicable jurisdiction.
Section 3.05 Repurchases of Contracts or Substitution of Contracts for
---------------------------------------------------------
Breach of Representations and Warranties.
----------------------------------------
(a) The Contract Seller shall either (i) repurchase a Contract sold by it
to the Trust Fund at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or (ii) if the Contract
Seller is able to satisfy the conditions of Section 3.05(b), remove such
Contract from the Trust Fund and substitute therefor an Eligible Substitute
Contract in accordance with and subject to the limitations of Section 3.05(b),
in each case within 90 days after the Contract Seller becomes aware, or receives
written notice from the Servicer or the Trustee, of a breach of a representation
or warranty of the Contract Seller set forth in Section 3.02 or 3.03 of this
Agreement that materially adversely affects the Trust Fund's interest in such
Contract, unless such breach has been cured; provided, however, that with
-------- -------
respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the Contract Schedule with
respect to remaining principal balance, which the Contract Seller would
otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.05, the Contract
Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deposit in the Certificate
Account not later than one Business Day after such Determination Date cash in an
amount sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy; and further provided,
------- --------
that with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty relating to the
Contracts in the aggregate and not to any particular Contract, the Contract
Seller may select Contracts to repurchase or substitute for such that, had such
Contracts not been included as part
30
<PAGE>
of the Contract Pool and after giving effect to such substitution, if any, there
would have been no breach of such representation or warranty; and further
-------
provided, that in connection with any Contract that the Contract Seller is
- --------
required to repurchase, the Contract Seller shall at its own expense deliver to
the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the repurchase of such
Contract will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time
any Certificate is outstanding under then applicable REMIC Provisions, be deemed
a contribution to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day or cause any "prohibited
transaction," in each case, that will result in the imposition of a tax under
the applicable REMIC Provisions. It is understood and agreed that the obligation
of the Contract Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Contract sold by it
as to which a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02
or 3.03 of this Agreement has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the
sole remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the
Trust Fund or the Trustee; provided, however, that the Contract Seller shall
-------- -------
defend and indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund
and the Certificateholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims
and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be
asserted against or suffered by any of them as a result of third-party claims
arising out of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
3.02(c), (d), (g), (h) or (w) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Contract Seller under this
Section 3.05 shall not terminate upon an Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
any amount received on or recovered with respect to repurchased Contracts or
Replaced Contracts during or after the month of repurchase shall be the property
of the Contract Seller and need not be deposited in the Certificate Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contract Seller shall not deposit
cash into either Certificate Account pursuant to this Section 3.05 after the
three-month period beginning on the Closing Date unless it shall first have
obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit will not give
rise to any tax under Section 86OF(a) (1) of the Code or Section 86OG(d) of the
Code. Any such deposit shall not be invested.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to this
Section 3.05, other than from moneys provided to it by the Contract Seller or
from moneys held therefor pursuant to Section 4.17. The Trustee shall be deemed
conclusively to have complied with this Section 3.05 if it follows the
directions of the Servicer required to be provided in the preceding paragraph.
Upon the repurchase of any Contract by the Contract Seller, the Trustee shall
delete such Contract from the Contract Schedule.
For reasons of administrative convenience in servicing of the
Contracts, notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.05(a), the
Contract Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute for any
Contract relating to a Manufactured Home located in any jurisdiction on account
of a breach of the representation or warranty contained in Section 3.02(j) or
(u) of this Agreement solely on the basis of failure by the Contract Seller to
cause notations to be made on any document of title relating to any such
Manufactured Home or to execute any transfer instrument (including any UCC-3
assignments) relating to any such Manufactured Home (other than a notation or a
transfer instrument necessary to show the Contract Seller as lienholder or legal
title holder) unless (i) a court of competent jurisdiction has
31
<PAGE>
adjudged that, because of such failure, the Trustee does not have a perfected
first-priority security interest in such related Manufactured Home, or (ii) (A)
the Servicer has received written advice of counsel to the effect that a court
of competent jurisdiction has held that, solely because of a substantially
similar failure on the part of a pledgor or assignor of manufactured housing
contracts (who has perfected the assignment or pledge of such contracts), a
perfected first-priority security interest was not created in favor of the
pledgee or assignee (as the case may be) in a related manufactured home which is
located in such jurisdiction and which is subject to the same laws regarding the
perfection of security interests therein as apply to Manufactured Homes located
in such jurisdiction, and (B) the Servicer shall not have completed all
appropriate remedial action with respect to such Manufactured Home within 90
days after receipt of such written advice. Any such advice shall be from counsel
selected by the Servicer on a nondiscriminatory basis from among the counsel
used by the Servicer in its general business in the jurisdiction in question.
The Servicer shall have no obligation on an ongoing basis to seek any advice
with respect to the matters described in clause (ii) above. However, the
Servicer shall seek advice with respect to such matters whenever information
comes to the attention of its general counsel which causes such general counsel
to determine that a holding of the type described in clause (ii)(A) might exist.
If any counsel selected by the Servicer informs the Servicer that no holding of
the type described in clause (ii)(A) exists, such advice shall be conclusive and
binding on the parties with respect to the applicable date and jurisdiction.
(b) On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, the Contract Seller, at its election, may substitute a Contract for any
Contract that it is otherwise obligated to repurchase pursuant to Section
3.05(a) (such Contract being referred to as the "Replaced Contract") upon
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the Contract to be substituted for the Replaced Contract is
an Eligible Substitute Contract and the Contract Seller delivers an
Officer's Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, to the
---------
Trustee certifying that such Contract is an Eligible Substitute Contract,
describing in reasonable detail how such Contract satisfies the definition
of the term "Eligible Substitute Contract" (as to satisfaction of
representations and warranties, such description shall be that such
Contract satisfies such representations and warranties) and certifying that
the Contract File or the Land Home Contract File, as applicable, for such
Contract is in the possession of the Servicer;
(ii) the Contract Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee
evidence of filing with the appropriate office in California of a UCC-1
financing statement executed by the Contract Seller as debtor and naming
the Trustee as secured party and listing such Contract as collateral;
(iii) the Contract Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Contract
for such Replaced Contract will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify
as a REMIC at any time any Certificate is outstanding under then applicable
REMIC Provisions, be deemed a contribution to the Trust Fund after the
Startup Day or cause any "prohibited transaction," in each case, that will
result in the imposition of a tax under the applicable REMIC Provisions,
and (b) to the effect that, except as to Contracts that are Land Home
Contracts, no filing or other action other than the filing of financing
statements on Form UCC-1 with the Secretary of
32
<PAGE>
State of the State of California, naming the Contract Seller as debtor and
the Trustee as secured party as required by Section 3.05(a) of this
Agreement and the filing of continuation statements as required by Section
2.02(a) is necessary to perfect as against third parties the conveyance of
the substitute Contract by the Contract Seller to the Trustee; and
(iv) if the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced Contract
is greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Contract, the
Contract Seller shall have deposited in the Certificate Account the amount
of such excess (which amount shall be deemed a Principal Prepayment on such
Contract) and shall have included in the Officer's Certificate required by
clause (i) above a certification that such deposit has been made.
Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such
Contract to, and delete such Replaced Contract from, the Contract Schedule (or
cause such addition and deletion to be accomplished). Such substitution shall
be effected prior to the first Determination Date that occurs more than 90 days
after the Contract Seller becomes aware or receives written notice from the
Servicer or the Trustee, of the breach referred to in Section 3.05(a).
(c) Promptly after the repurchase referred to in Section 3.05(a) or the
substitution referred to in Section 3.05(b), the Trustee shall execute such
documents as are presented to it by the Contract Seller and are reasonably
necessary to reconvey the repurchased Contract or Replaced Contract, as the case
may be, to the Contract Seller.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.05 to the contrary, in the
event any Opinion of Counsel referred to in this Section 3.05 indicates that a
repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, of a Contract will result in the
imposition of a tax under the applicable REMIC Provisions with respect to
"prohibited transactions," or deemed a contribution to the REMIC after the
"start-up day," the Contract Seller shall not be required to repurchase or
substitute the Contract to which such Opinion of Counsel relates unless and
until the Servicer has determined there is an actual or imminent default with
respect thereto or that the defect or breach giving rise to the repurchase or
substitution obligation adversely affects the enforceability of such Contract.
Section 3.06 General.
-------
(a) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties in
this Article III hereof shall remain operative and in full force and effect,
shall survive the transfer and conveyance of the Contracts by the Contract
Seller to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee.
(b) Any cause of action against the Contract Seller relating to or arising
out of the breach of any of its representations and warranties made in this
Article III shall accrue as to any Contract upon (i) discovery of such breach by
the Contract Seller or notice thereof by the Trustee or Servicer to the Contract
Seller, (ii) failure by the Contract Seller to cure such breach, and (iii)
demand upon the Contract Seller by the Trustee for all amounts payable in
respect of such Contract under this Agreement.

ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS
Section 4.01 Responsibility for Contract Administration and Servicing.
--------------------------------------------------------
GCC hereby agrees to act as Servicer under this Agreement. The
Certificateholders by their acceptance of the Certificates consent to GCC acting
as Servicer. The Servicer shall service and administer the Contracts and,
subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall have full power and authority to
do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection
with such servicing and administration. Subject to Section 4.02, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer hereby is authorized and
empowered, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Contracts, with respect to the Manufactured Homes and with
respect to the Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with
any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to service and administer the Contracts. The relationship of the
Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement)
to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent of the
Trustee.
Section 4.02 Standard of Care.
----------------
In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the
Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer will, consistent with the
terms of this Agreement and applicable law, act with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar manufactured
housing contracts owned and/or serviced by it, but in no event using a degree of
skill and care that is lower than that used generally in the servicing industry
for such manufactured housing contracts; provided, however, that notwithstanding
-------- -------
the foregoing, the Servicer shall not release or waive the right to collect the
unpaid balance on any Contract except if default or foreclosure on such Contract
has occurred or in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer is imminent and such
waiver or release is in the best interest of the Trust, in the reasonable
judgement of the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to
require the Servicer to take any action or fail to take any action in respect of
a Contract which action or failure violates applicable law.
Section 4.03 Records.
-------
The Servicer, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, shall maintain
such books of account and other records as will enable the Trustee (if the
Trustee so elects in its discretion) to determine the status of each Contract.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall
keep such records in respect of Liquidation Expenses as will enable the Trustee
(if the Trustee so elects in its discretion) to determine that the correct
amount of Net Liquidation Proceeds in respect of a Liquidated Contract has been
deposited in the Certificate Account.
34
<PAGE>
Section 4.04 Inspection.
----------
(a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business hours
to the Servicer's records relating to the Contracts and will cause its personnel
to assist in any examination of such records by the Trustee or any of its
authorized agents. The examination referred to in this Section 4.04 will be
conducted in a manner which does not interfere unreasonably with the Servicer's
normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting
the scope of the examination which the Trustee may make, the Trustee or its
authorized agents, using generally accepted audit procedures, may in their
discretion verify the status of each Contract and review the records relating
thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Article V and
compliance with the standards represented to exist as to each Contract in this
Agreement.
(b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available
a copy of the Contract Schedule at its principal executive office for inspection
by Certificate Owners.
Section 4.05 Establishment of and Deposits in Certificate Account.
----------------------------------------------------
On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall have established, and
thereafter shall maintain, a Certificate Account, which is an Eligible Account,
in the form of a segregated trust account titled "GreenPoint Manufactured
Housing Contract Trust, Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-1, Certificate
Account in trust for the Trustee as trustee for the benefit of the Class A
Certificateholders." As of the Closing Date, the Certificate Account shall be a
segregated trust account established at The First National Bank of Chicago and
shall be invested in the Trustee's Corporate Trust Short-Term Investment Fund
(as long as such fund is an Eligible Investment) or other similar Eligible
Investment selected by the Trustee. Eligible Investments shall mature or, in
the case of a money market fund, be redeemed not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the Distribution Date next following the date of such
investment (except that, if such Eligible Investment is an obligation of the
institution that maintains the Certificate Account, then such Eligible
Investments shall mature or, in the case of a money market fund, be redeemed not
later than such Distribution Date), and shall not be sold or disposed of prior
to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made in the name of the
Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the Trustee shall select obligations for the
investment of the Certificate Account from among the investments specified in
clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of "Eligible Investments." The Trustee
shall select such Eligible Investments, which shall mature as provided above, in
such manner as to achieve the following objectives in the order stated: (1)
preservation of principal values; and (2) maximization of income.
All net income and gain realized from any such investments, to the extent
provided by this Agreement, shall be added to the Certificate Account.
The Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account as promptly as
practicable (but not later than the close of business of the second Business
Day) following receipt thereof:
(1) All amounts received from Obligors with respect to principal
of and interest on the Contracts (including Excess Contract Payments);
35
<PAGE>
(2) All Net Liquidation Proceeds;
(3) All amounts required to be deposited by the Contract Seller
pursuant to Sections 3.05(a) and (b) and;
(4) All Monthly Advances pursuant to Section 5.01;
(5) Any proceeds of Hazard Insurance Policies pursuant to Section
4.11 and any amounts in respect of indemnification pursuant to Section
7.03;
(6) All amounts required to be withdrawn from an REO Account and
deposited in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 4.17; and
(7) All Deficiency Amounts.
The Trustee shall cause the Insurer to deposit in the Certificate Account
all Enhancement Payments pursuant to Section 5.08.
Section 4.06 Payment of Taxes.
----------------
If the Servicer becomes aware of the nonpayment by an Obligor of a real or
personal property tax or other tax or charge which may result in a lien upon a
Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property prior to, or equal to or coordinate
with, the lien of the related Contract, the Servicer, consistent with Section
4.02, shall take action, including the payment of such taxes or charges to avoid
the attachment of any such lien. If the Servicer shall have paid any such real
or personal property tax or other tax or charge directly on behalf of an
Obligor, the Servicer shall seek reimbursement therefor only from the related
Obligor (except as provided in the last sentence of this Section 4.06) and may
separately add such amount to the Obligor's obligation as provided by the
Contract, but, for the purposes of this Agreement, may not add such amount to
the remaining principal balance of the Contract. If the Servicer shall have
repossessed a Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Trustee, the Servicer shall pay the amount of any
such tax or charge arising during the time such Manufactured Home is in the
Servicer's possession or title to the Mortgaged Property is in the name of the
Servicer (or any Person acting on behalf of the Servicer), unless the Servicer
is contesting in good faith such tax or charge or the validity of the claimed
lien on such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property. If the Obligor does not
reimburse the Servicer for payment of such taxes or charges pursuant to this
Section 4.06 and the related Contract is liquidated after a default, the
Servicer shall be reimbursed for its payment of such taxes or charges out of the
related Liquidation Proceeds.
Section 4.07 Enforcement.
-----------
(a) The Servicer, consistent with Section 4.02, shall act with respect to
the Contracts in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and
interest on such Contracts.
(b) The Servicer shall sue to enforce or collect upon Contracts and, where
permitted by applicable law, any Deficiency at its own expense, in its own name,
if possible, or as agent for the Trustee in its own name, if possible, or as
agent for the Trust Fund. If the Servicer elects to
36
<PAGE>
commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Contract, the act of commencement shall
be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Contract to the Servicer for
purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Contract on the ground
that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Contract, the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders shall, at the
Servicer's expense, take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce
the Contract, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the
Certificateholders. If there has been a recovery of attorneys' fees in favor of
the Servicer or the Trust Fund in an action involving the enforcement of a
Contract, the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of such recovery for its out-of-
pocket attorney's fees and expenses incurred in such enforcement action.
(c) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with Section 4.02.
In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is authorized on the Trustee's
behalf to reassign the Contract or to resell the related Manufactured Home and,
if applicable, the Mortgaged Property, to the Person against whom recourse
exists at the price set forth in the document creating the recourse.
(d) The Servicer may grant to the Obligor on any Contract any rebate,
refund or adjustment out of the Certificate Account that is required because of
an overpayment in connection with the partial prepayment or prepayment in full
of the Contract or otherwise. The Servicer may rescind, cancel or make material
modifications of the terms of any Contract (including modifying the amounts and
due dates of scheduled monthly payments); provided that, unless required by
--------
applicable law or to bring Contracts into conformity with the representations
and warranties contained in Article III, the Servicer will not permit any
rescission or cancellation of any Contract or any material modification of a
Contract other than in connection with a default or an imminent default on such
Contract unless the Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that
such modification will not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC or
result in the imposition of taxes on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may, without an Opinion of Counsel,
make a one-time modification to the Contract Rate with respect to any Contract
by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of such Contract Rate and (ii) 0.50%
provided, however, that the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Contracts so modified shall in no event exceed 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool
Principal Balance.
Section 4.08 Transfer of Certificate Account.
-------------------------------
The Trustee may transfer the Certificate Account to a different depository
institution from time to time, so long as each of the Certificate Account
remains an Eligible Account. The Trustee shall give notice of any transfer of
the Certificate Account to each Rating Agency prior to such transfer.
Section 4.09 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance Policies.
----------------------------------------
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 4.09,
the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Contract one or
more Hazard Insurance Policies which provide, at a minimum, the same coverage as
a standard form fire and extended coverage insurance policy that is customary
for manufactured housing, issued by a company authorized to
37
<PAGE>
issue such policies in the state in which the Manufactured Home is located, and
in an amount which is not less than the maximum insurable value of such
Manufactured Home or the principal balance of the related Contract, whichever is
less; provided that such Hazard Insurance Policies may provide for customary
--------
deductible amounts, and further provided that the amount of coverage provided by
------- --------
each Hazard Insurance Policy shall be sufficient to avoid the application of any
co-insurance clause contained therein. If a Manufactured Home is located within
a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer shall, to the
extent required by applicable law or regulation, also cause flood insurance to
be maintained, which coverage shall be at least equal to the minimum amount
specified in the preceding sentence or such lesser amount as may be available
under the federal flood insurance program. Each Hazard Insurance Policy caused
to be maintained by the Servicer shall contain a standard loss payee clause in
favor of the Servicer and its successors and assigns. If any Obligor is in
default in the payment of premiums on its Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies,
the Servicer shall pay such premiums out of its own funds, and may add
separately such premium to the Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract,
but may not add such premium to the remaining principal balance of the Contract
for purposes of this Agreement. If the Obligor does not reimburse the Servicer
for payment of such premiums and the related Contract is liquidated after a
default, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for its payment of such premiums out
of the related Liquidation Proceeds.
(b) The Servicer may, in lieu of causing individual Hazard Insurance
Policies to be maintained with respect to each Manufactured Home pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section 4.09, and shall, to the extent that the related
Contract does not require the Obligor to maintain a Hazard Insurance Policy with
respect to the related Manufactured Home, maintain one or more blanket insurance
policies covering losses as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 4.09
resulting from the absence or insufficiency of individual Hazard Insurance
Policies. Any such blanket policy shall be substantially in the form that is the
industry standard for blanket insurance policies issued to cover Manufactured
Homes and in the amount sufficient to cover all losses on the Contracts. The
Servicer shall pay, out of its own funds, the premium for such policy on the
basis described therein and shall deposit in the Certificate Account, on the
Business Day next preceding the Determination Date following the Collection
Period in which the insurance proceeds from claims in respect of any Contracts
under such blanket policy are or should have been received, the deductible
amount with respect to such claims. The Servicer shall not, however, be required
to deposit any deductible amount with respect to claims under individual Hazard
Insurance Policies maintained pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.09.
(c) If the Servicer shall have repossessed a Manufactured Home on behalf
of the Trustee, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain at its expense a Hazard
Insurance Policy with respect to such Manufactured Home, except that the
Servicer shall be responsible for depositing any deductible amount with respect
to all claims under individual Hazard Insurance Policies, or (ii) indemnify the
Trust Fund against any damage to such Manufactured Home prior to resale or other
disposition that would have been covered by such Hazard Insurance Policy.
(d) Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any of the foregoing
insurance, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, shall not be added to the amount owing under the Contract,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Contract so permit. The Servicer shall not
be entitled to reimbursement from the Contract Seller, the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for such costs. Such costs (other than the cost of the
blanket policy) shall only
38
<PAGE>
be recovered out of later payments by the Obligor for such premiums or, if the
related Contract is liquidated after a default, out of the related Liquidation
Proceeds.
Section 4.10 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
------------------------------------------------
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond
and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with
responsible companies acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, on all officers, employees
or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Contracts to handle
funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Contracts. Any such fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer
against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and
omissions and negligent acts of such persons. No provision of this Section 4.10
requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish
or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall
be in an amount as is customary for servicers that service a portfolio of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts of $100 million or more and
that are generally acceptable as servicers to institutional investors. On or
before April 1 of every year, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a
statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance
policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days'
prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 4.11 Collections under Hazard Insurance Policies, Consent to Transfers
-----------------------------------------------------------------
of Manufactured Homes, Assumption Agreements.
--------------------------------------------
(a) In connection with its activities as administrator and Servicer of the
Contracts, the Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and
the Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Hazard Insurance
Policies and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be
necessary to permit recovery under any Hazard Insurance Policies or any blanket
policies obtained pursuant to Section 4.09(b). Any amounts collected by the
Servicer under any such Hazard Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.05, except to the extent they are
applied to the restoration of the related Manufactured Home or released to the
related Obligor in accordance with the normal servicing procedures of the
Servicer.
(b) In connection with any transfer of ownership of a Manufactured Home by
an Obligor to a Person, the Servicer shall consent to any such transfer and
permit the assumption by such Person of the Contract related to such
Manufactured Home, provided that (i) such Person, in the judgment of the
--------
Servicer, meets the Servicer's underwriting standards then in effect, (ii) such
Person enters into an assumption agreement, (iii) the Servicer determines that
permitting such assumption by such Person will not materially increase the risk
of nonpayment of such Contract and (iv) such action will not adversely affect or
jeopardize any coverage under any insurance policy required by this Agreement.
In the event the Servicer determines that the conditions of the proviso of the
preceding sentence have not been fulfilled, then the Servicer shall withhold its
consent to any such transfer, but only to the extent permitted under the
Contract and applicable law and governmental regulations and only to the extent
that such action will not adversely affect or jeopardize any coverage under any
insurance policy required by this Agreement. In
39
<PAGE>
connection with any such assumption, the rate of interest borne by, and all
other material terms of, the related Contract shall not be changed.
(c) In any case in which a Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property is to
be conveyed to a Person by an Obligor, and such Person is to enter into an
assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Contract in
accordance with Section 4.11(b) or Section 4.07(d), upon the closing of such
conveyance, the Servicer shall cause the originals of the assumption agreement,
the release (if any), or the modification or supplement to the Contract to be
deposited with the Contract File or the Land Home Contract File, as applicable,
for such Contract. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement with respect to such Contract
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Section 4.12 Realization upon Defaulted Contracts.
------------------------------------
Subject to applicable law, the Servicer shall repossess, foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged
Property securing all Contracts that come into default and which the Servicer
believes in its good faith business judgment will not be brought current.
Subject to Section 4.17, the Servicer shall manage, conserve and protect such
Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged Property for the purposes of their prompt
disposition and sale, and shall dispose of such Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged
Property on such terms and conditions as it deems in the best interests of the
Certificateholders. If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged
Property is affected by hazardous waste, then the Servicer shall not cause the
Contract Seller 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 Home Contract File with respect to the related Contract.
In connection with such activities, the Servicer shall follow such practices and
procedures as are consistent with Section 4.02.
Section 4.13 Costs and Expenses.
------------------
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses
incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties under this Agreement,
including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of
Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts and repossessions of
Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged Property securing such Contracts), shall be
paid by the Servicer, and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
hereunder, except to the extent such reimbursement is specifically provided for
in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be
reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of a defaulted Contract for
Liquidation Expenses incurred by it in realizing upon the related Manufactured
Home and Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to: (i) costs of
refurbishing and securing such Manufactured Home; (ii) transportation expenses
incurred in moving the Manufactured Home; (iii) reasonable legal fees and
expenses of outside counsel; and (iv) sales commissions paid to Persons that are
not Affiliates of the Servicer. The Servicer shall not incur any Liquidation
Expenses unless it determines in its good faith business judgment that
40
<PAGE>
incurring such expenses will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds from such
Manufactured Home and Mortgaged Property.
Section 4.14 Trustee to Cooperate.
--------------------
(a) Upon payment in full of any Contract, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee on the next Distribution Date by a certificate of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to
be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.05 have been
deposited). The Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction
of such Contract and to do such other acts and execute such other documents as
the Servicer deems necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and eliminate
the security interest in the Manufactured Home. The Servicer shall determine
when a Contract has been paid in full. To the extent insufficient payments are
received on a Contract mistakenly determined by the Servicer to be prepaid or
paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall be paid by the Servicer out of
its own funds by deposit into the Certificate Account.
(b) From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosure in
connection with any Land Home Contract, the Trustee shall, upon written request
of a Servicing Officer and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by such
Servicing Officer, cause the original Land Home Contract and the related Land
Home Contract File to be released to the Servicer and shall execute such
documents as the Servicer shall deem necessary to the prosecution of any such
proceedings. The Trustee shall stamp the face of each such Land Home Contract to
be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Land Home Contract has been
assigned to the Trustee.
(c) The Servicer's receipt of a Land Home Contract and/or Land Home
Contract File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Land Home
Contract and the related Land Home Contract File to the Trustee, or any person
acting on behalf of the Trustee, when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless
the Contract shall be liquidated, repurchased or replaced as described in
Section 3.05.
(d) Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall, at the expense
of the Servicer, perform such acts as are reasonably requested by the Servicer
(including the execution of documents) and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer
in the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to Contracts.
Section 4.15 Servicing and Other Compensation.
--------------------------------
The Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder including the
payment of fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and
the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 9.05, shall be entitled to receive on each
Distribution Date the Monthly Servicing Fee and Repossession Profits pursuant to
Section 5.03.
Additional servicing compensation in the form of Late Payment Fees or
Extension Fees and any transfer of equity or assumption fees shall be retained
by the Servicer. The Servicer shall not be reimbursed for its costs and
expenses in servicing the Contracts except as otherwise expressly provided
herein.
41
<PAGE>
No transfer, sale pledge or other disposition of the Servicer's right to
receive all or any portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be made, and any
such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void, unless
such transfer is made to a successor Servicer in connection with the assumption
by such successor Servicer of the duties hereunder pursuant to Section 7.07 and
all (and not a portion) of the Monthly Servicing Fee is transferred to such
successor Servicer.
Section 4.16 Custody of Contracts.
--------------------
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.16, the Servicer
agrees to act as custodian of the Contract Files (other than the Land Home
Contract Files) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
The Certificateholders by their acceptance of the Certificates, consent to the
Servicer acting as custodian, and the Servicer agrees to maintain the Contract
Files (other than the Land Home Contract Files) as custodian therefor.
(b) The Servicer agrees to maintain the related Contract Files (other than
the Land Home Contract Files) at its offices where they are presently
maintained, or at such other offices of the Servicer in the State of California
as shall from time to time be identified to the Trustee by ten days' prior
written notice. The Servicer may temporarily move individual Contract Files,
Land Home Contract Files or, in each case, any portion thereof without notice as
necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance
with its customary practices and procedures.
(c) As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers
and duties:
(i) hold the Contract Files (other than the Land Home Contract
Files) on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, maintain
accurate records pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, maintain a current inventory
thereof and conduct annual physical inspections of Contract Files held by
it under this Agreement;
(ii) implement policies and procedures in writing and signed by a
Servicing Officer, with respect to persons authorized to have access to the
Contract Files on the Servicer's premises and the receipting for Contract
Files taken from their storage area by an employee of the Servicer for
purposes of servicing or any other purposes; and
(iii) attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody of
the Contract Files on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee.
(d) In performing its duties under this Section 4.16, the Servicer agrees
to act in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Section 4.02. The
Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure by it to hold the
Contract Files as herein provided, and shall promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such failure. In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the
Servicer further agrees not to assert any beneficial ownership interests in the
Contracts, or the Contract Files. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the
Certificateholders and the Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred or asserted against the Certificateholders and the
42
<PAGE>
Trustee as the result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the
maintenance and custody of the Contract Files; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Servicer will not be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from
the negligence or willful misconduct of any other Person.
(e) Not later than 60 days from the Closing Date, the Contract Seller
shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the following:
(i) the Land Home Contract Files;
(ii) the original Land Home Contract endorsed as provided in Section
3.02(x) (which endorsement may be manual or facsimile signature) on behalf
of the Contract Seller; and
(iii) an Assignment from GCC (on behalf of the Contract Seller) to
the Trustee, which Assignment shall be in form and substance for recording,
but shall not be recorded except as required by Section 4.22 below;
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.16(e), in
those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage,
the Assignment of the Mortgage or the intervening Assignments of the Mortgage
after it has been recorded, the Contract Seller shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of
such Mortgage, such Assignment or Assignments of Mortgage certified by the
public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.
Within 90 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall review each
Land Home Contract File to determine that all required documents set forth in
each item of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16(e) have been executed and
received and that such documents relate to the Land Home Contracts identified on
the Contract Schedule. For purposes of this determination, the Trustee may rely
on the purported due execution and genuineness of any signature thereon. If
within such 90 day period the Trustee finds that any document constituting a
part of a Land Home Contract File was not executed, defective or received or is
unrelated to the Land Home Contracts identified in the Contract Schedule (in
this Section 4.16(e), a "defect"), the Trustee shall promptly upon the
conclusion of its review notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall notify the
Contract Seller. The Contract Seller shall have a period of 90 days from
receipt of such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect after the
Contract Seller has been notified of such. If the Contract Seller cannot
correct or cure any such defect with respect to a Land Home Contract within such
90 day period, it shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.05 hereof.
If recordation of any Assignment is required hereunder, the original of
each such recorded Assignment shall be delivered to the Trustee within 10 days
following the date on which it is returned to the Contract Seller by the office
with which such Assignment was filed for recordation. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of the recorded Assignment, such recorded Assignment shall become part
of the Land Home Contract File.
(f) Custodial Arrangements. The Trustee may appoint a custodian who is
----------------------
acceptable to the Servicer and the Contract Seller and who, upon execution
of a custodial agreement, shall
43
<PAGE>
maintain possession of the Land Home Contract Files, together with assignments
in recordable form, to the Trustee or another custodian designated by the
Trustee, and the Trustee agrees that upon such delivery it shall maintain, or
cause such custodian to maintain, or such part of them as the Trustee shall
direct, as agent of the Trustee pursuant to the terms of such custodial
agreement. The appointment of such custodian shall not relieve the Trustee of
its obligations hereunder. The Trustee will notify the Rating Agencies upon the
appointment of any custodian.
The Trustee shall keep the Servicer apprised at all times after the Closing
Date of the location of the Land Home Contract Files. The Trustee shall take
all steps that are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate
the Servicer's access to the Land Home Contract Files during normal business
hours of the Trustee or any custodian and shall cooperate fully with the
Servicer in securing such access.
Section 4.17 REMIC Compliance.
----------------
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund
as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary, under applicable state law. Such
election will be made on Form 1066 or other appropriate federal tax or
information return (including Form 8811) or any appropriate state return for the
taxable year ending on the last day of the calendar year in which the
Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the REMIC election in respect of
the Trust Fund, each of the Class A Certificates shall be designated as the
"regular interests" and the Class R Certificates shall be designated as the sole
class of "residual interests" in the REMIC. The REMIC Administrator and the
Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning of
Section 860G of the Code) in the REMIC other than the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" (the
"Startup Date") of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of
the Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall at all times hold a Class R Certificate
representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest of all Class R Certificates and shall
be designated as "the tax matters person" with respect to the REMIC in the
manner provided under Treasury regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and temporary
Treasury regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T. The REMIC Administrator, as tax
matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the REMIC in relation to any tax
matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund
in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit
by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses,
including without limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and costs of any
such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the
Trust Fund and the REMIC Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor out of amounts attributable to the Contracts on deposit in the
Certificate Account provided by Section 5.03 unless such legal expenses and
costs are incurred by reason of the Servicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or
gross negligence. If the REMIC Administrator is no longer the Servicer
hereunder, at its option the REMIC Administrator may continue its duties as tax
matters person and shall be paid reasonable compensation not to exceed $3,000
per year by any successor Servicer hereunder for so acting as the REMIC
Administrator.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all of
the tax returns that it determines are required with respect to the REMIC
created hereunder and deliver
44
<PAGE>
such tax returns in a timely manner to the Trustee and the Trustee shall sign
and file such tax returns in a timely manner. The expenses of preparing such
returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator without any right of
reimbursement therefor. The REMIC Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold
harmless the Trustee with respect to any tax liability arising from the
Trustee's signing of tax returns that contain errors or omissions. The Trustee
and Servicer shall promptly provide the REMIC Administrator with such
information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to time request for the
purpose of enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare tax returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any transferor of a Class
R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee and the Trustee shall forward to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium (using the Prepayment Assumption) and
(iii) to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone
number of the person who will serve as the representative of the REMIC.
(f) The REMIC Administrator and the Servicer shall take such actions and
shall cause the REMIC created hereunder to take such actions as are reasonably
within the REMIC Administrator's or the Servicer's control and the scope of its
duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary or desirable to
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Trustee shall assist the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, to the extent
reasonably requested by the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator to do so). The
REMIC Administrator and the Servicer shall not knowingly or intentionally take
any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to
cause to be taken) any action reasonably within their respective control that,
under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i)
endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of
a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860(G)(d) of the Code) (either
such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the indemnification
referred to in this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the REMIC
Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails
to pay such expense, and the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable,
determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and
the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the
expense of the REMIC Administrator, the Contract Seller, the Servicer or the
Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to
the REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the REMIC
Administrator, the Servicer or both, as applicable, determine in its or their
sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against the imposition of such a
tax, result in the imposition of such a tax. Wherever in this Agreement a
contemplated action may not be taken because the timing of such action might
result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund, or may only be taken
pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action would not impose a tax on the
Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be taken provided that the indemnity
given in the preceding sentence with respect to any taxes that might be imposed
on the Trust Fund has been given and that all other preconditions to the taking
of such action have been satisfied. The Trustee shall not
45
<PAGE>
take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder) as to
which the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, has advised it in
writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an Adverse
REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior to
taking any action with respect to the REMIC or its assets, or causing the REMIC
to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the REMIC Administrator or the
Servicer, as applicable, or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether
such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to the
REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or cause the REMIC to take
any such action as to which the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as
applicable, has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, may consult with counsel
to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event at the expense of the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer. At all times as
may be required by the Code, the Servicer will to the extent within its control
and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain
substantially all of the assets of the REMIC as "qualified mortgages" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties, additional
amounts or additions to tax (a "Tax"), is imposed on the Trust Fund, such Tax
shall be charged against amounts otherwise required to be distributed to the
Holders of the Class R Certificates. The Trustee is hereby authorized to retain,
or cause the Paying Agent to retain, from amounts otherwise required to be
distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates sufficient funds to pay
or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, or cause the Paying Agent to
pay, such Tax as is legally owed by the Trust Fund (but such authorization shall
not prevent the Servicer from contesting any such Tax in appropriate
proceedings, and withholding payment of such Tax, if permitted by law, pending
the outcome of such proceedings). To the extent that sufficient amounts cannot
be so retained to pay or provide for the payment of any tax imposed on gain
realized from any prohibited transaction (as defined in the REMIC Provisions),
the Trustee is hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-
interest-bearing account, the net income from such prohibited transactions and
pay, or cause the Paying Agent to pay, such Tax. In the event any (i) amounts
initially retained from amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of the
Class R Certificates and (ii) income so segregated and applied towards the
payment of such Tax shall not be sufficient to pay such Tax in its entirety, the
amount of the shortfall shall be paid from funds in the Certificate Account
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein. To the extent any
such segregated income or funds from the Certificate Account are paid to the
Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall retain, or cause to be retained, an
amount equal to the amount of such income or funds so paid from future amounts
otherwise required to be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates
and shall deposit such retained amounts in the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Holders of the Regular Certificates.
(h) The Trustee and the Servicer shall, for federal income tax purposes,
maintain books and records with respect to the REMIC on a calendar year and on
an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required by the REMIC Provisions.
46
<PAGE>
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall
accept any contributions of assets to the REMIC unless (subject to Section
4.17(f)) the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to make such contributions) to the effect
that the inclusion of such assets in the REMIC will not cause the REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section
4.17(f)) enter into any arrangement by which the REMIC will receive a fee or
other compensation for services nor permit the REMIC to receive any income from
assets other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the
Code or "permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the Certificate
Balance of each Class of Certificates representing a regular interest in the
REMIC would be reduced to zero is March 2029, which is the Distribution Date
immediately following the latest scheduled maturity of any Contract.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall
prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information
Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of
Collateralized Debt Obligations" for the REMIC.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall sell, dispose of or
substitute for any of the Contracts (except in connection with (i) the default,
imminent default or foreclosure of a Contract, including but not limited to, the
acquisition or sale of a Manufactured Home or a Mortgaged Property acquired by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the REMIC, (iii) the
termination of the REMIC pursuant to Article X of this Agreement or (iv) a
purchase of Contracts pursuant to Article III of this Agreement) nor acquire any
assets for the REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate
Account for gain nor accept any contributions to the REMIC after the Closing
Date unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition,
substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of the
REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the Servicer has determined in its sole
discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause the REMIC to be
subject to a tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the
REMIC Provisions.
(n) Each Holder of a Class R Certificate, by purchasing such Class R
Certificate, agrees to give the Servicer written notice that it is a "pass-
through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations
Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon becoming the Holder of such Class R
Certificate, if it is, or is holding such Class R Certificate on behalf of, a
"pass-through interest holder." The Special Account and amounts distributed
thereto pursuant to Section 5.02(a) hereof shall not be an asset of the REMIC or
the Trust Fund. The Class R Certificateholder shall be the owner of the Special
Account for federal income tax purposes and shall be responsible for all taxes
payable with respect to distributions thereto.
47
<PAGE>
(o) In the event that any Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property is
acquired in a repossession (an "REO Property"), the Servicer shall sell any REO
Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless (i) at
least 60 days before such three-year period would otherwise expire, the Servicer
applies for an extension of such three-year period pursuant to Sections
856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Servicer shall sell
such REO Property within the applicable extension period or (ii) at the request
of the Servicer, the Trustee seeks, and subsequently receives, an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after
its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause
the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a
manner that does not cause any such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by the REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
In connection with its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall
either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve
such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the
same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such
REO Property.
(p) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its
own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to
each REO Property an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders (each, an "REO Account"), which shall be an Eligible
Account and the funds therein shall be invested in Eligible Investments that
will mature not later than the Business Day preceding the applicable

in each REO Account all revenues received with respect to operation of the
related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper

Section 4.18 Management of REO Property.
--------------------------
(a) If the Trustee acquires any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.17, the
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection therewith as are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer
manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its
Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to be in
the best interests of Certificateholders, and, consistent therewith, shall
withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with
respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect to such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect to such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any
REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in (i)-(iii) above with
respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from its own funds such
amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Servicer would
make such advances if the Servicer owned such REO Property and if in the
Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the
operation or sale of such REO Property.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not:
(i) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other
than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then

imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(ii) directly operate, or allow any other Person to directly
operate, any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of
acquisition;
unless, in any such case, the Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the
Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.

operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
49
<PAGE>
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
inconsistent herewith;

require, that (A) the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed in subsection (a) hereof, (B) hold all
related revenues in a segregated account, which shall be an Eligible
Account, and (C) remit all related revenues collected (net of such costs
and expenses and any fees retained by such Independent Contractor) to the
Servicer on a monthly or more frequent basis;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 4.18(c) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and
obligations to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders with respect to
the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the
same extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in
connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent
Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification. The Servicer shall be entitled to pay all fees owed to
any such Independent Contractor out of the REO Account pursuant to Section 4.17.
(d) Subject to Section 4.18(b), the Servicer shall itself be entitled to
operate and manage any foreclosure property and, in such event, shall be
entitled to pay itself a monthly management fee in accordance with Section 4.17;
provided that the amount of such management fee shall not exceed the amount
- --------
customarily charged for the operation and management of similar property in the
locality of such REO Property by property managers other than the Servicer or
its Affiliates.
Section 4.19 Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
-------------------------------------------------

periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the

to the Contract Seller, the Trustee and each Rating Agency to the effect that
such firm has examined certain documents and records relating to the servicing
of the Contracts under this Agreement and, at the option of the Servicer,
manufactured housing installment sale contracts and installment loan agreements
under pooling and servicing agreements substantially similar to this Agreement
with regard to servicing procedures (such statement to have attached thereto a
schedule setting forth the pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby,
including this Agreement) and that, on the basis of such examination conducted
substantially in compliance with this Agreement or such agreements, as the case
may be, and generally accepted auditing standards, such servicing has been
conducted substantially in compliance with this Agreement or such pooling and
servicing agreements, as the case may be, except for such exceptions as such
firm believes to be immaterial and such other exceptions or errors in records
that may be set forth in such statement. For purposes of such statement, such
firm may assume conclusively that all pooling and servicing agreements among the
Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee relating to certificates
evidencing an interest in actuarial manufactured housing contracts are
substantially similar to one another, except for any such pooling and servicing
agreement which by its terms specifically states otherwise.

In addition, notwithstanding the prioritization of the distribution of
the Formula Principal Distribution Amount to the Holders of the Class A
Certificates pursuant to clause (ii) above, on a Distribution Date, if any, in
respect of which a Deficiency Event is in effect, the portion of the Formula
Principal Distribution Amount for such Distribution Date that would otherwise be
distributed sequentially to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and
Class A-5 Certificateholders pursuant to clause (ii) above will instead be
distributed to the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3, Class A-4 and Class A-5

Such distributions to the Class A-1 Certificateholders, Class A-2

record by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address for such
Certificateholder appearing on the Certificate Register; provided that if such
--------
Certificateholder holds Certificates evidencing a Percentage Interest
aggregating 10% or more with respect to such Class and has given the Trustee
appropriate written instructions at least 10 days prior to the related
Distribution Date (which instructions, until revised, shall remain operative for
all Distribution Dates thereafter), the Trustee shall pay such Certificateholder
by wire transfer of funds. If on any Determination Date the Servicer determines
that there are no Contracts outstanding and no other funds or assets in the
Trust Fund other than the funds in the Certificate Account, the Servicer
promptly shall notify the Insurer and the Trustee and instruct the Trustee to
send the final distribution notice to each Certificateholder and make provision
for the final distribution in accordance with Section 10.01(c). Final payment of
any Certificate shall be made only upon presentation of such Certificate at the

Account pursuant to Section 5.02(a)(iii)) and distribute the amount specified in
Section 5.02(a)(iv) for such Distribution Date to the Class R Certificateholders
by wire transfer of immediately available funds. Such distribution shall be made
by a means that is mutually acceptable to the Trustee and the Class R
Certificateholders.
(c) Each distribution with respect to a Global Certificate shall be paid
to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the
accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal
procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such
distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating
firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for
disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits
and disbursements with respect to a Global Certificate are to be made by the
Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of
the Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Contract
Seller nor the Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor. To the extent
applicable and not contrary to the rules of the Depository, the Trustee shall
comply with the provisions of the forms of the Certificates as set forth in
Exhibit B-1, Exhibit B-2, Exhibit B-3, Exhibit B-4, Exhibit B-5 and Exhibit C

Manufactured Home that are specified as being reimbursable to it pursuant
to Section 4.07, 4.09, 4.13 or 4.18 or to a previous Servicer under Section
7.07;

Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, pro rata, for expenses incurred and

(vii) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Certificate Account
that was not required to be deposited therein (including any collections on
the Contracts that, pursuant to Section 2.01(a), are not part of the Trust
Fund).
Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (i), (ii)
and (iv) of this Section 5.03, the Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to

The Class R Certificate shall initially be issued with no principal
balance.
The Certificates shall be executed by manual or facsimile signature on
behalf of the Trustee by an authorized officer. Certificates bearing the manual
or facsimile signatures of individuals who were, at the time when such
signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such authentication and delivery. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth as attached hereto executed
by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon
any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All
Certificates shall be dated the date of their authentication. On the Closing
Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the
written direction of the Contract Seller or any Affiliate thereof.
The Contract Seller shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee
on a continuous basis, an adequate inventory of Certificates to facilitate
transfers.
Section 6.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
--------------------------------------------------------------
Certificates.
------------
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a Certificate
Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections
(b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and
deliver the Certificates that the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for
registration of transfer or
61
<PAGE>
exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his attorney
duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate will be made unless the
Trustee has received either (i) an Opinion of Counsel, at no expense to the
Trustee, the Contract Seller, the Insurer or the Servicer, acceptable to and in
form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Contract Seller and the
Servicer with respect to the permissibility of such transfer under ERISA and
Section 4975 of the Code and stating, among other things, that the transferee's
acquisition of such ERISA Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result
in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code and will not subject the Servicer, the Contract Seller or the
Trustee to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in this
Agreement or (ii) a representation letter from the transferee, substantially in
the form of paragraph 5 of Exhibit G. No transfer of an ERISA Restricted
Certificate will be made without the consent of the Insurer and without
notification to the Rating Agencies.
(c) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Trustee or its designee under clause (iii)(A)
below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and to negotiate
the terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly
notify the Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a
Permitted Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to
it, and shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until
its receipt of, (I) an affidavit and (a "Transfer Affidavit," in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-1) from the proposed Transferee, representing
and warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that
it is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that
is the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for
any Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it
retains its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor
to remain a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions
of this Section 6.02(c) and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a
certificate, in the form
62
<PAGE>
attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from the Holder wishing to transfer the
Class R Certificate, representing and warranting, among other things, that
no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the assessment or
collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit by a
proposed Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the
Trustee who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the
proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee
shall be effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit from
any other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership
Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such
Certificate, agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-
through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury
Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an
Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through
interest holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R
Certificate only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit, a certificate
of the Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-
2. Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) are
prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded
pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1 or Section
1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be restored, to the
extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as Holder thereof
retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such Class R
Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for any
registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not permitted
by this Section 6.02(c) or for making any payments due on such Certificate to
the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to such holder
under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class
R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(c) and
to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder
of such Class R Certificate as described
63
<PAGE>
in clause (iii)(A) above shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then
either the Servicer shall have the right, without notice to the holder or
any prior holder of such Class R Certificate, to sell such Class R
Certificate to a purchaser selected by the Servicer on such terms as the
Servicer may choose. Such purported Transferee shall promptly endorse and
deliver each Class R Certificate in accordance with the instructions of the
Servicer. Such purchaser may be the Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the
Servicer. The proceeds of such sale, net of the commissions (which may
include commissions payable to the Servicer or its Affiliates), expenses
and taxes due, if any, will be remitted by the Servicer to such purported
Transferee. The terms and conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B)
shall be determined in the sole discretion of the Servicer, and the
Servicer shall not be liable to any Person having an Ownership Interest in
a Class R Certificate as a result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall use its reasonable
efforts to make available, upon written request from the Trustee, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding "excess
inclusions" of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal
Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated
investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the
Servicer from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(c) set forth prior to this
clause (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated pursuant to Section 11.01,
provided that there shall have also been delivered to the Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will
not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if any,
of any Class of the Regular Certificates below the lower of the then-
current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the
Closing Date by such Rating Agency; and
(B) a certificate of the Servicer stating that the Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Servicer, to the effect that such modification, addition to or absence of
such provisions will not cause Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC
and will not cause (x) the Trust Fund to be subject to an entity-level tax
caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person that is a
Disqualified Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or another Person to
be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred
to above in this Section 6.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Contract Seller or the Servicer.
64
<PAGE>
Section 6.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
-------------------------------------------------
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, if any, such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a
bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Trustee under
the terms of this Section 6.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.
Section 6.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
---------------------
The Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee may
treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this
Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
Section 6.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
---------------------------------------------------------
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such
Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Contract Seller or Servicer
shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the
Contract Seller, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients'
expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by
the Trustee, if any. The Contract Seller and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
Section 6.06 Global Certificates.
-------------------
The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Global
Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Contract
Seller. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the
Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no
65
<PAGE>
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section
6.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive
Certificates") have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.08:
(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;
(b) the Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee may treat the
Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes as the authorized
representative of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates and, in
the case of distributions, with the Depository as the authorized representative
of the Depository Participants and the Certificate Owners;
(c) registration of the Global Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository;
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates
shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the
Owners of such Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository
Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued with respect to the Class A Certificates pursuant to
Section 6.08, the Depository will make book-entry transfers among the Depository
Participants and receive and transmit distributions of principal and interest on
the related Certificates to such Depository Participants;
(e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants;
(f) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants; and
(g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall
control.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders
evidencing a specified percentage of the Certificate Balance of a Class of
Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners
(acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Global
Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of the Certificate Balance or
the requisite Percentage Interests.
Section 6.07 Notices to Depository.
---------------------
Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to
Certificateholders of any Class with respect to which Global Certificates have
been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to
the related Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications to the Depository.
66
<PAGE>
Section 6.08 Definitive Certificates.
-----------------------
If, after Global Certificates have been issued with respect to the Class A
Certificates, (a) the Servicer advises the Trustee that the Depository is no
longer willing or able to discharge properly its responsibilities under the
Depository Agreement with respect to such Certificates and the Trustee or GCC is
unable to locate a qualified successor, (b) GCC, at its sole option, advises the
Trustee that it elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such
Certificates through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence and continuation
of an Event of Default, Certificate Owners of such Global Certificates having
not less than 51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the related Class advise the
Trustee and the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that
the continuation of a book-entry system with respect to such Certificates
through the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the best interests of
the Certificate Owners with respect to such Certificates, then the Trustee shall
notify all Certificate Owners of such Class of Certificates, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
Definitive Certificates for such Class to Certificate Owners requesting the
same. The Contract Seller shall provide the Trustee with an adequate inventory
of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Contract Seller, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the
issuance of such Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations
imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed
upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
ARTICLE II
THE CONTRACT SELLER AND THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Liabilities to Obligors.
-----------------------
No liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts arising out of any
act or omission to act of the Servicer in servicing the Contracts prior to the
Closing Date is intended to be assumed by the Contract Seller, the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator or the Certificateholders under or as a result of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the maximum extent
permitted and valid under mandatory provisions of law, the Contract Seller, the
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders expressly
disclaim such assumption.
Section 7.02 Servicer's Indemnities.
----------------------
The Servicer shall defend and indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent, the
Contract Seller and the Certificateholders against any and all costs, expenses,

of counsel and expenses of litigation, arising from third
67
<PAGE>
party claims or actions (including penalties or fees imposed by any governmental
or regulatory body or agency) in respect of any action taken by the Servicer
with respect to any Contract or Manufactured Home constituting a failure by the
Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement. This indemnity shall
survive any Event of Default (but a Servicer's obligations under this Section
7.02 shall not relate to any actions of any subsequent Servicer after an Event
of Default) and any payment of the amount owing under, or any repurchase by the
Contract Seller of, any such Contract.
Section 7.03 Operation of Indemnities.
------------------------
Indemnification under this Article VII shall include reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. Any amounts received by the
Trustee from the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII shall be deposited in the

indemnity payments to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VII and the Trustee
thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the Trustee will repay such
amounts collected to the Servicer, together with any interest collected thereon.
Section 7.04 Merger or Consolidation of the Contract Seller or the Servicer.
--------------------------------------------------------------
The Contract Seller and the Servicer will each keep in full effect their
existence, rights and franchises as a Delaware corporation, and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign corporation in each
jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the
validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Certificates or any of the
Contracts and to perform its duties under this Agreement.
Any Person into which the Contract Seller or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Contract Seller or the Servicer shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Contract Seller or
the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Contract Seller or the Servicer
hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on
the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
-------- -------
the Servicer shall satisfy the requirements of Section 7.07 with respect to the
qualifications of a successor to the Servicer. The Contract Seller and the
Servicer shall promptly notify each Rating Agency of any such merger to which it
is a party.
Section 7.05 Limitation on Liability of the Contract Seller, the Servicer
------------------------------------------------------------
and Others.
----------
Neither the Contract Seller, the Servicer nor any of their directors,
officers, employees or agents shall be under any liability to the Trustee or the
Certificateholders for any errors in judgment or any action taken or for
refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to this Agreement; provided,
--------
however, that this provision shall not protect the Contract Seller or any such
- -------
Person against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its
willful misconduct, or gross negligence; provided, further that this provision
-------- -------
shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any liability that
would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misconduct or gross
negligence. The Contract Seller, the Servicer and any of their directors,
officers, employees or agents may rely on any document of any kind prima facie
68
<PAGE>
properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising
hereunder. Neither the Contract Seller nor the Servicer shall be under any
obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal action which arises under
this Agreement (other than in connection with the enforcement of any Contract in
accordance with this Agreement) and which in its opinion may involve it in any
expenses or liability; provided, however, that the Servicer may in its
-------- -------
discretion undertake any such other legal action which it may deem necessary or
desirable in respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties
hereto. In such event, the legal expenses and costs of such other legal action
and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities
payable from the Certificate Account, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be
reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account as provided by Section 5.03.
Section 7.06 Assignment by Servicer.
----------------------
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement without
the consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder, the Servicer may, with the
consent of the Insurer (provided that if an Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs to be obtained), which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations under this Agreement; provided that the Person shall execute and
--------
deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such Person of the
due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and condition to be
performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement; and further provided
------- --------
that each Rating Agency's rating of any Class of the Certificates in effect
immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will not be withdrawn or
reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation, as evidenced by a letter
from each Rating Agency. In the case of any such assignment and delegation, the
Servicer shall be released from its obligations under this Agreement, except
that the Servicer shall remain liable for all liabilities and obligations
incurred by it as Servicer hereunder prior to the satisfaction of the conditions
to such assignment and in delegation.
Section 7.07 Successor to the Servicer.
-------------------------
In connection with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall (i)
succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and
obligations under this Agreement (except the duty to pay and indemnify the
Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof), or (ii) with the consent of the
Contract Seller and the Insurer (provided that if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs to be obtained),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor which
shall have a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and shall have serviced for
at least one year prior to such appointment a portfolio of not less than
$100,000,000 principal balance of manufactured housing installment sale
contracts or installment loans and which shall succeed to all rights and assume
all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties
and liabilities under this Agreement (except that the duty to pay and indemnify
the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof shall be subject to negotiation at
the time of such appointment). If the Trustee has become the successor to the
Servicer in accordance with this Section 7.07, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint,
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor
69
<PAGE>
satisfying the requirements set out in clause (ii) above. In connection with any
appointment of a successor Servicer, the Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Contracts as it and such
successor shall agree or such court shall determine; provided, however, that the
-------- -------
Monthly Servicing Fee shall not be in excess of a monthly amount equal to 1/12th
of the product of 1% and the Pool Principal Balance for the Distribution Date in
respect of which such compensation is being paid without the consent of all of
the Certificateholders and notice to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer's
duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to Section 7.06 or 8.01, the Servicer shall discharge such
duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this
Agreement, shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor Servicer in
effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of its successor. The assignment by a Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.06 or removal of Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 shall
not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this
Section 7.07 and shall in no event relieve the Contract Seller of liability
pursuant to Section 3.05 for breach of the representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 3.02 or 3.03. The Servicer being terminated pursuant to
Section 8.01 or Section 7.06 shall bear all costs of a transfer of servicing
therefrom, including but not limited to those of the Trustee reasonably
allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and expenses, and costs
of amending the Agreement, if necessary.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement
and the Certificates. Any assignment by or termination of the Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.06 or 8.01 or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Servicer
arising prior to any such termination or resignation.

Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five days after the date
upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Servicer, the
Trustee by the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests

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

of or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer's property; or
(e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or
take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been cured or waived, the Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that if an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, no such consent needs to be obtained),
and, the Trustee shall at the written direction of (i) the Insurer so long as no
Insurer Default has occurred or is continuing or (ii) if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional
Interests aggregating not less than 51% by notice in writing to the Servicer,
terminate all the rights and
71
<PAGE>
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement and in and to the Contracts and
the proceeds thereof, except any responsibility for its acts or omissions during
its tenure as Servicer hereunder. The Trustee shall send a copy of a notice of
any Event of Default to each Rating Agency, the Insurer and the Contract Seller.
On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Contracts or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed
pursuant to Section 7.07. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee may also pursue whatever rights it may have
at law or in equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance. The Trustee will have no obligation to take any action or
institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement at the request,
order or direction of any of the Certificateholders or the Insurer unless such
Certificateholders or the Insurer have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which the
Trustee may incur.
Section 8.02 Waiver of Defaults.

The Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests
aggregating not less than 25% may waive any default by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except that a
default in the making of any required remittance to the Trustee for distribution
on any of the Certificates may be waived only by the affected
Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 8.03 Trustee to Act, Appointment of Successor.
----------------------------------------
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 8.01, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be the

Notwithstanding the above, or anything in Section 7.07 to the contrary, the
Trustee, if it becomes Servicer pursuant to this Section, shall have no
responsibility or obligation (i) to repurchase or substitute any Contract, (ii)
for any representation or warranty of the Servicer hereunder, and (iii) for any
act or omission of either a predecessor or successor Servicer other than the
Trustee. The Trustee may conduct any activity required of it as Servicer
hereunder through an Affiliate or through an agent. Neither the Trustee nor any
other successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in default hereunder due to any
act or omission of a predecessor Servicer, including but not limited to failure
to timely deliver to the Trustee any Monthly Report, any funds required to be
deposited to the Trust Fund, or any breach of its duty to cooperate with a
transfer of servicing as required by Section 7.07.
Section 8.04 Notification to Certificateholders.
----------------------------------
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall
give prompt written notice thereof to the Contract Seller, the

Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 8.05 Effect of Transfer.
------------------
(a) After a transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.04, 7.06, 7.07 or 8.01, the Trustee or the successor Servicer may
notify Obligors to make payments that are due under the Contracts after the
effective date of the transfer of servicing duties directly to the successor
Servicer.
(b) After the transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.04, 7.06, 7.07 or 8.01, the replaced Servicer shall have
no further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing
or collection of the Contracts, but in the case of a transfer pursuant to
Section 7.07 or 8.01 shall remain liable for any liability arising from the
replaced Servicer's actions hereunder and shall remain entitled to any
compensation due the replaced Servicer that had already accrued prior to such
transfer.
(c) A transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer shall not
affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but not limited
to the indemnities of the Servicer pursuant to Article VII), other than those
relating to the management, administration, servicing or collection of the
Contracts.
Section 8.06 Transfer of the Account.
-----------------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01, if the Certificate Account
shall be maintained with the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer and an
Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Servicer, after five days'
written notice from the Trustee, or in any event within ten days after the
occurrence of the Event of Default, shall establish a new account, which shall
be an Eligible Account, conforming with the requirements of this Agreement, at
the trust department of the Trustee or with a depository institution other than
the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, and shall promptly transfer all
funds in the Certificate Account to such new Certificate Account, which shall
thereafter be deemed the Certificate Account for the purposes hereof.
ARTICLE IV
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.01 Duties of Trustee.
-----------------
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth specifically in
this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred of which a Responsible
Officer has knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), the Trustee shall
exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and use
the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would
exercise or use
73
<PAGE>
under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs, unless it is acting
as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.03 in which case it will use the same degree
of care and skill as the Servicer.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are required specifically to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
No provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee
from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or
its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
-------- -------
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing or waiver of all such Events of Default which may have occurred, the
duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the
express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable
except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or
obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in
the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may rely
conclusively, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the
opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable personally for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable personally with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Insurer or Holders of Certificates
evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not less than 25% as to the
time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon
the Trustee, under this Agreement.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss on any Eligible Investment
except and only to the extent that it is an Obligor thereon.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
-------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate, certificate
of auditors or any other certificate,
74
<PAGE>
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 written advice of its
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts
or powers vested in it by this Agreement or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto at the request, order or direction of
any of the Certificateholders or the Insurer pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the Insurer shall have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable personally for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the computations, facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, any Monthly Report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not less than 25%;
provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the
- -------- -------
Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the
making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably
assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this
Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such expense or
liability as a condition to such proceeding. The reasonable expense of every
such examination shall be paid by the Servicer, if an Event of Default shall
have occurred and is continuing, and otherwise by the Certificateholders
requesting the investigation;
(f) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys; provided, however, that any Affiliate of the Contract Seller may only
-------- -------
perform ministerial or custodial duties hereunder as agent for the Trustee; and
(g) The Trustee shall examine any directions, notices or other
communications received from the Servicer, the Contract Seller, the Insurer or
any Certificateholder (or agent thereof) to determine if such directions,
notices or other communications appear on their face to have been made and to
otherwise be in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. As long as
the Trustee has acted in good faith and has not been negligent in making
determinations required by this Section 9.02(g), the Trustee may conclusively
rely on such directions, notices or other communications and shall incur no
liability hereunder for complying with, or assuming the truth of the statements
contained in, any such direction, notice or other communication.

Section 9.03 Trustee not Liable for Certificates or Contracts.
------------------------------------------------
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Contract Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of the
Certificates (except that the Certificates shall be duly and validly
authenticated by it) or of any Contract or related document. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Contract Seller or the
Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Contract Seller or the
Servicer in respect of the Contracts or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Certificate Account by the Servicer.
Section 9.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
----------------------------
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the other parties hereto
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 9.05 Servicer to Pay Fees and Expenses of Trustee, Paying Agent and
--------------------------------------------------------------
Certificate of Administrator.
----------------------------
The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay, from its own funds, to the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator from time to time,
and the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator shall each
be entitled to, reasonable compensation (which shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
for all services rendered by it in the execution of the trust hereby created and
in the exercise and performance of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the
Trustee, and the Servicer will pay (out of its own funds) or reimburse the
Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator, to the extent
requested by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Administrator, as
the case may be, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances
incurred or made by the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate
Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance with any of the provisions of
this Agreement, and the reasonable compensation and the expenses and
disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not regularly in its employ, and
the expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with the appointment of an
office or agency pursuant to Section 9.11, except any such expense, disbursement
or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad faith. The Servicer also
covenants and agrees to indemnify (out of its own funds) the Trustee, the Paying
Agent and the Certificate Administrator for, and to hold each of them harmless
against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith
on the part of the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Administrator,
as the case may be, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this trust and its duties hereunder, including the costs and
expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with
the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The
covenants in this Section 9.05 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee, the
Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator in their respective capacities as
Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar
hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 9.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
------------------------------------
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be qualified to
maintain an Eligible Account and shall be either (a) The First National Bank of
Chicago ("First National") or any other Person into which First National is
merged or consolidated or to which substantially all of the properties and
assets of First National are transferred as an entirety, provided that such
--------
other Person has accepted appointment as Trustee under this Agreement in
accordance with this Article IX, and further provided that such entity is not an
------- --------
Affiliate of the Contract Seller, is authorized to exercise corporate trust
powers under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof or the
District of Columbia and has all necessary trust powers to perform its
obligations hereunder, or (b) a corporation or banking association organized and
doing business under the laws of the United States of America, any State thereof
or the District of Columbia, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate
trust powers, having a combined capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and
subject to supervision or examination by Federal or State authority, and which
is not an Affiliate of the Contract Seller; further provided that either (i)
------- --------
such entity has long-term debt rated at least A3 by Moody's, BBB by S&P or the
equivalent by any nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or (ii)
each Rating Agency provides a letter to the effect that such appointment will
not affect the then current ratings of the Certificates. If the corporation or
banking association referred to in clause (b) of the previous sentence publishes
reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements
of said supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this
Section 9.06, the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or banking
association shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In addition, the Trustee
shall maintain an office in New York. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to
be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.06, it shall
resign immediately in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in
this Article IX.
Section 9.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
--------------------------------------
The Trustee at any time may resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Contract Seller, the Servicer,
the Insurer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Contract Seller, with the consent of the Insurer which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld (provided that if an Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, no such consent needs to be obtained) shall promptly appoint a
successor trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to the resigning Trustee and one copy to the
successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice of
resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Contract Seller, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Contract
Seller may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument
77
<PAGE>
shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor
trustee and the Certificateholders.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not
less than 50% may remove the Trustee at any time and appoint a successor trustee
reasonably satisfactory to the Insurer (provided that if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs to be obtained) by
written instrument or instruments, in triplicate, signed by such
Certificateholders or their attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set
of which instruments shall be delivered to the Contract Seller, one complete set
to the Trustee so removed and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 9.08.
Section 9.08 Successor Trustee.
-----------------
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Contract Seller and to its predecessor trustee,
with a copy to the Servicer, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee and the
appointment of such successor trustee shall become effective, and such successor
trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor
hereunder, with the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The
predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as reasonably may be required to more fully and certainly vest and
confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 9.08, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such
trustee hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register, to the Contract Seller and each Rating Agency. If the
Servicer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Contract Seller.
Section 9.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
----------------------------------
Any corporation into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with
which it may be consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any
corporation succeeding to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of
the Trustee hereunder, provided such corporation shall be eligible under the
--------
provisions of Section 9.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. Upon succession of a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 9.09, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all
78
<PAGE>
Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register, to
the Servicer, the Contract Seller and each Rating Agency.
Section 9.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
---------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose
of (i) meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of
the Trust Fund or property securing the same may be located at the time, or (ii)
meeting any legal requirements with respect to the holding of the Contracts, the
Contract Seller and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall
execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by
the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or
separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Contract Seller
and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Contract Seller
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone (or with one consenting Seller) shall have the
power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder
shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under
Section 9.06 hereunder, and no notice to Certificateholders of the appointment
of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 9.08
hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this Section 9.10, all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except
to the extent that, under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed or under any regulation applicable to any of the
Contracts (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer
hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act
or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or co-
trustee at the direction of the Trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article IX. Each separate trustee and co-trustee, upon its acceptance
of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified
in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately,
as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, appoint the Trustee
its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not
prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on
its behalf and in its name. If any separate trustee or co-trustee shall die,
become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
79
<PAGE>
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee. Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall relieve the Trustee of
its duties, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
Section 9.11 Appointment of Office or Agency.
-------------------------------
The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of New York where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Trustee initially designates Chicago Trust Company of New York, located at 14
Wall Street, New York, New York, for such purpose. The Certificate Register
will be kept in Chicago, Illinois at the offices of the Certificate Registrar
located at the Corporate Trust Office and may be kept in an electronic form
capable of printing out a hard copy of the Certificate Register. The Trustee
will maintain an office at the address stated in Section 11.05 hereof where
notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates may be
served. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to Certificateholders of
any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or
agency.
Section 9.12 Certificate Administrator.
-------------------------
The Trustee may, from time to time, appoint a Certificate Administrator for
the purpose of performing, as the Trustee's agent, those duties hereunder that
are specifically designated herein as performable by the Certificate
Administrator; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator shall at
-------- -------
all times satisfy the eligibility requirements of a Trustee set forth in Section
9.06. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall be the Certificate
Administrator unless and until the Trustee appoints a successor Certificate
Administrator. In performing its duties hereunder, the Certificate
Administrator (if not the Trustee) shall have the benefit of the provisions of
this Agreement to the same extent that the Trustee would have the benefit of
such provisions if the Trustee were itself performing such duties. The
Certificate Administrator (including the Trustee solely in its capacity as
Certificate Administrator) shall not have any fiduciary responsibility to the
Contract Seller, the Servicer or the Certificateholders except when acting as
Paying Agent. Additionally, the Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to
rely upon all directions, calculations and other information received by the
Contract Seller, the Trustee or the Servicer without any duty to independently
verify such directions, calculations or other information.
Section 9.13 Appointment of Paying Agent.
---------------------------
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 5.02 and payments
pursuant to 3.17 and 9.01(c). Any Paying Agent or its parent company so
appointed either shall be a bank or trust company and shall have a rating
acceptable to each Rating Agency. In the event of any such appointment, on or
prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit or cause to be
deposited with the Paying Agent, from amounts in the Certificate Account, a sum
sufficient to make the payments to Certificateholders in the amounts and in the
manner provided for in Section 5.02, such sum to be held in trust for the
benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trustee is hereby initially appointed as
Paying Agent.
80
<PAGE>
In performing its duties hereunder, the Paying Agent shall have the benefit
of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent that the Trustee would
have the benefit of such provisions if the Trustee were itself performing such
duties. Additionally, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely upon all

<PAGE>

reimbursed and the remittance of all funds due hereunder, provided, that the
--------
purchase price of such Contracts shall in no event be less than the Minimum
Termination Amount as of the Distribution Date on which the Servicer purchases
such Contracts. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event
shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from
the death of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late
ambassador of the United States to the court of St. James, living on the date
hereof; and provided further that if the Trust Fund is dissolved prior to the
-------- -------
termination of the Certificate Insurance Policy, the Trustee shall retain
possession of Certificate Insurance Policy as collateral agent for the benefit
of the Certificateholders, and if any amount previously distributed in
accordance with Section 5.02(a) is thereafter required to be paid under the
Certificate Insurance Policy, the Trustee as collateral agent shall make a claim
under the Certificate Insurance Policy for such amount in accordance with
Section 5.08 and distribute such amount as required under the Certificate
Insurance Policy.
(b) Termination Auction. The Servicer shall provide written notice to the
-------------------
Trustee of the occurrence of the Distribution Date as of which the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal
Balance within three Business Days following such Distribution Date. If neither
the Servicer or the Class R Certificateholders exercises their option to
purchase the Contracts pursuant to Section 10.01(a), the Trustee shall in
accordance with the procedures and schedule set forth in Exhibit J hereto (the
---------
"Auction Procedures"), make a commercially reasonable effort to sell at fair
market value in a commercially reasonable manner and upon commercially
reasonable terms but subject to the earlier purchase by the Servicer of the
Outstanding Contracts as provided in Section 10.01(a) above, by conducting an
auction (the "Termination Auction") of the Contracts remaining in the Trust Fund
in order to effect a termination of the Trust Fund on a date selected by the
Trustee (the "Auction Date"), but in any case within ninety days following the
Distribution Date as of which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than
10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance. The Contract Seller (if GCC is
not the Servicer) may, but shall not be required to, bid at the Termination
Auction. The Trustee shall be entitled to retain counsel of its choice to
represent it in the Termination Auction, and the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be paid by the Contract Seller. The Trustee shall sell and
transfer the Contracts to the highest bidder therefor at the Termination Auction
provided that:
(1) the Termination Auction has been conducted in accordance with the
Auction Procedures;
82
<PAGE>
(2) the Trustee has received good faith bids for the Contracts from
at least two prospective purchasers that are considered by the Trustee, in
its sole discretion, to be competitive participants in the market for
manufactured housing installment sale contracts; provided, that at least
--------
one of such prospective purchasers shall not be an Affiliate of the
Contract Seller;
(3) a financial advisor selected by the Trustee, the fees of whom
shall be an expense of the Contract Seller, as advisor to the Trustee (in
such capacity, the "Advisor"), shall have advised the Trustee in writing
that at least two of such bidders are participants in the market for
manufactured housing retail installment sale contracts and are willing and
able to purchase the Contracts (the Trustee may in its discretion select
itself or an affiliate thereof as Advisor);
(4) the highest bid in respect of the Contracts is not less than the
aggregate fair market value of the Contracts (as determined by the Trustee
in its sole discretion);
(5) any bid submitted by the Contract Seller or any Affiliate of the
Contract Seller shall be independently verified and represented in writing
by a qualified independent third party evaluator (which may include the
Advisor or an investment banking firm) selected by the Trustee and may only
be considered if such evaluator determines that the bid reasonably
represents the fair market value of the Contracts;
(6) the highest bid would result in proceeds from the sale of the
Contracts which will be at least equal to the Minimum Termination Amount
plus any unreimbursed Enhancement Payment;
(7) such sale and consequent termination of the Trust Fund must
constitute a "qualified liquidation" of the Trust Fund under Section 860F
of the Code, including the requirement that the proceeds of such qualified
liquidation are credited or distributed to the holders of regular residual
interests within 90 days from the date upon which the Trust Fund adopts a
plan of complete liquidation (the Trustee may, in its discretion, require
that the purchaser of such Contracts provide an Opinion of Counsel to that
effect); and
(8) the terms of the Termination Auction must be made available to
all bidders and must stipulate that the Servicer be retained to service the
Contracts on terms substantially similar to those in this Agreement.
Provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (8)
have been met, the Trustee shall sell and transfer the Contracts, without
representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, to such highest
bidder in accordance with and upon completion of the Auction Procedures. The
Trustee shall deposit the purchase price for the Contracts in the Certificate
Account at least one Business Day prior to the fourth Distribution Date
following the Optional Termination Date. The provisions of subsections (c) and
(d) of this Section 10.01 also shall apply with respect to any Termination
Auction. In the event that any of such conditions are not met or such highest
bidder fails or refuses to comply with any of the Auction Procedures, the
Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale and transfer. In such case the
Termination
83
<PAGE>
Auction shall be concluded and the Trustee shall be under no further duty to
solicit bids for or otherwise to attempt to sell the Contracts.
(c) (i) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon
which all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for
payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Servicer by letter to
the Certificateholders, the Insurer, the Trustee, the Contract Seller and each
Rating Agency mailed no later than the 10th day of the month next preceding the
month of such final distribution, specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon
which final payment on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, and (iii) that the Record
Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not applicable, payments
being made only upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the
office or agency of the Trustee therein specified. After giving such notice, the
Trustee shall not register the transfer or exchange of any Certificates. If such
notice is given in connection with the Servicer's election to purchase, the
Servicer shall deposit in the Certificate Account on the Business Day prior to
the applicable Distribution Date the amount described in Section 10.01(a)(ii).
The amount so deposited shall not be invested.
(ii) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the
Trustee shall cause to be distributed, from funds in the Certificate
Account, to Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective
Percentage Interests, an amount equal to (a) as to the Class A-1
Certificates, the Class A-1 Certificate Balance together with the Class A-1
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class A-1 Pass-
Through Rate on the Class A-1 Certificate Balance, (b) as to the Class A-2
Certificates, the Class A-2 Certificate Balance together with the Class A-2
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class A-2 Pass-
Through Rate on the Class A-2 Certificate Balance, (c) as to the Class A-3
Certificates, the Class A-3 Certificate Balance together with the Class A-3
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class A-3 Pass-
Through Rate on the Class A-3 Certificate Balance, (d) as to the Class A-4
Certificates, the Class A-4 Certificate Balance together with the Class A-4
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class A-4 Pass-
Through Rate on the Class A-4 Certificate Balance and (e) as to the Class
A-5 Certificates, the Class A-5 Certificate Balance together with the
Class A-5 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class
A-5 Pass-Through Rate on the Class A-5 Certificates.
(iii) Upon such termination, any amounts remaining in the Certificate
Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims) shall be paid to the
Class R Certificateholders. Following such final deposit, the Servicer
shall prepare and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements
and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer. The
distribution on the final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the
distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in
respect of the Certificates and the Class R Certificate.
(d) If any Certificateholder does not surrender its Certificate for
cancellation by the final Distribution Date specified in the written notice
required in Section 10.01(c)(i), any amounts retained in the Certificate Account
that are owed to such Certificateholder shall be withdrawn from the Certificate
Account and held in an escrow account with the Trustee pending
84
<PAGE>
distribution pursuant to this Section 10.01(d). Any amounts so held shall not be
invested. The Trustee shall give a second written notice to the remaining
Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation and receive
the final distribution with respect thereto. If within two years after the
second notice all the Certificates shall not have been surrendered for
cancellation, the Trustee shall so notify the Contract Seller and the Contract
Seller may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate
and reasonable steps, to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning
surrender of their Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of, and
only to the extent of, the funds and other assets which remain in trust
hereunder.
Upon any termination pursuant to the exercise of the purchase option
contained in Section 10.01(a)(ii), the consummation of a sale pursuant to a
Termination Auction or otherwise, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund
to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.01 will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as described
in Section 860F of the Code, (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or (iii) result in the
imposition of taxes on contributions of additional assets to the Trust Fund
under Section 860G(d) of the Code:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in
the notice given by the Servicer or the Trustee under this Section 10.01,
the Holders of the Class R Certificates shall adopt a plan of complete
liquidation of the Trust Fund;
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Servicer as
agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the
purchaser thereof (which may be the Servicer) for cash (other than assets
that will be converted to cash prior to the final Distribution Date); and
(iii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall credit or distribute all proceeds of the liquidation (plus the cash),
less assets retained to meet claims, to the Certificateholders.
By its acceptance of a Class R Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to
adopt such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the
Servicer and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be
reasonably requested by the Contract Seller.

exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations
and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest, as requested by the
Holder surrendering the same.
No service charge will be made for any such registration of transfer or
exchange, but the Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Contract Seller and the Trustee and any agent of the Contract Seller or
the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Certificate is registered as
the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither of the Contract Seller, the
Trustee, nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Servicer will have the option to repurchase, upon giving notice mailed no later
than the 10th day of the month next preceding the month of the exercise of such
option, all Outstanding Contracts at a price equal to the greater of Outstanding
Contracts at a price equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (x) 100% of the
Scheduled Principal Balance of each Contract (other than any Contract as to
which the related Manufactured Home has been acquired and not yet disposed of
and whose fair market value is included pursuant to Clause (y) below) as of the
final Distribution Date, and (y) the fair market value of such acquired property
(as determined by the Servicer 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 10.01(c)(i) of the
Agreement), and (b) the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the
Servicer as of the close of business on such third Business Day) of all the
assets in the Trust Fund, plus, in the case of both clause (a) and clause (b),
an amount sufficient to pay any Class A-1 Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class A-2
Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class A-3 Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class A-4
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and Class A-5 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and the
remittance of all funds due hereunder; provided, however, that if any
-------- -------
Enhancement Payment has been made and not yet reimbursed, the Servicer (or the
Holders of the Class R Certificates) may only exercise this option with the
consent of the Insurer, provided, further, that the purchase price of such
-------- -------
Contracts shall in no event be less than the Minimum Termination Amount as of
the Distribution Date on which the Servicer purchases such Contracts. If the
Servicer does not exercise its option, the Holders of the Class R Certificates,
on any Distribution Date after the first Distribution Date on which the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal,
upon the purchase by the Holders of the Class R Certificates of the Outstanding
Contracts at a price equal to the greater of (a) the sum of (x) 100% of the
Scheduled Principal Balance of each Contract (other than any Contract as to
which the related Manufactured Home has been acquired and not yet disposed of
and whose fair market value is included pursuant to Clause (y) below) as of the
final Distribution Date, and (y)
Exhibit C-2
<PAGE>
the fair market value of such acquired property (as determined by the Servicer
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 10.01 of the Agreement), and (b) the aggregate fair market
value (as determined by the Servicer as of the close of business on such third
Business Day) of all the assets in the Trust Fund, plus, in the case of both
clause (a) and clause (b), an amount sufficient to pay any Class A-1 Unpaid
Interest Shortfall, Class A-2 Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class A-3 Unpaid
Interest Shortfall, Class A-4 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and Class A-5 Unpaid
Interest Shortfall and any Enhancement Payments made by the Insurer but not yet
reimbursed and the remittance of all funds due hereunder, provided, that the
--------
purchase price of such Contracts shall in no event be less than the Minimum
Termination Amount as of the Distribution Date on which the Servicer purchases
such Contracts.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Servicer may request that the Trustee conduct an auction (a "Termination
Auction") by soliciting bids for the purchase of all Contracts remaining in the
Trust Fund, and in any event, if the Servicer has not exercised the option
described in the preceding paragraph within ninety days following the
Distribution Date as of which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than
10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, the Trustee shall conduct such
termination auction. In the event that satisfactory bids are received as
described in the Agreement, the net sale proceeds will be distributed to
Certificateholders, in the same order of priority as collections received in
respect of the Contracts. A satisfactory bid is one in which the purchase price
of the Contracts then outstanding is at least equal to the Minimum Termination
Amount (as hereinafter defined) plus any unreimbursed Enhancement Payment. Such
a bid must be made in accordance with certain auction procedures set forth in
the Agreement, which include a requirement that the Trustee receive good faith
bids for such Contracts from at least two prospective purchasers (at least one
of whom is not the Contract Seller or an affiliate thereof) that are considered
by the Trustee, in its sole discretion, to be (i) competitive participants in
the market for manufactured housing installment sale contracts or installment
loan agreements and (ii) willing and able purchasers of such Contracts. As of
any time after the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-
off Date Pool Principal Balance, the "Minimum Termination Amount" is an amount
equal to the respective Certificate Balances of all Classes of Certificates that
remain outstanding as of such time, together with any shortfall in interest due
on such Certificates in respect of prior Distribution Dates and one month's
interest at the applicable Pass-Through Rates on such Certificate Balances. A
sale and consequent termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to a Termination
Auction must constitute a "qualified liquidation" of the Trust Fund under
Section 860F of the Code, including the requirement that the qualified
liquidation takes place over a period not to exceed 90 days. If satisfactory
bids are not received, the Trustee shall decline to sell the Contracts and shall
not be under any obligation to solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate
any further sale of the Contracts.
Any repurchase pursuant to a Termination Auction or by the Servicer will be
made at the price specified in the Agreement. In the event that no such early
termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the
Agreement will terminate upon the later of the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Contract remaining in the Trust Fund and the
Exhibit C-3
<PAGE>
disposition of all REO Property in respect thereof and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of the certain person
named in the Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 1999-1
evidencing a percentage interest in any distributions allocable to the
Class R Certificates with respect to a Trust Fund consisting primarily of a
pool of conventional manufactured housing contracts (the "Contracts")
formed and sold by
GreenPoint Credit Corp., (the "Contract Seller")
which manufactured housing contracts were originated or acquired by Contract
Seller, and are initially serviced by GreenPoint Credit Corp., (the "Servicer").
Neither this Certificate nor the Contracts are insured or guaranteed by the
Contract Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee referred to below or any of their
respective Affiliates or by any governmental agency or instrumentality.
This certifies that __________ is the registered owner of the Percentage
Interest evidenced by this Certificate in certain monthly distributions with
respect to a Trust Fund consisting of the Contracts deposited by the Contract
Seller. The Trust Fund was created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, dated as of February 1, 1999 (the "Agreement"), between GreenPoint
Credit Corp., as Contract Seller and Servicer, and The First National Bank of
Chicago, as trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent not defined herein, the
capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the Agreement. This
Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms, provisions and
conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of this Certificate
by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such Holder is bound.
The Trustee will cause to be distributed to the Class R Certificateholder
the amounts to which such Holder is entitled pursuant to the terms of the
Agreement. Such distributions will be made by check mailed to the address of
the Person entitled thereto, as such address shall appear on the Certificate
Register or by wire or other transfer of immediately available funds if such
Person has given the Trustee written instructions at least ten days prior to the
related Distribution Date. Notwithstanding the above, the final distribution on
this Class R Certificate will be made only upon presentation and surrender of
this Class R Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency
maintained by the Trustee for such purpose.
No transfer of this Class R Certificate will be made unless the Trustee has
received either (i) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Contract Seller and the Servicer with
respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and stating, among other things, that the
transferee's acquisition of Class R Certificate will not constitute or result in
a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975
of the Code and will not subject the Servicer, the Contract Seller or the
Trustee to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the
Agreement, stating that the transferee is not an employee benefit or other plan
subject to the
Exhibit D-3
<PAGE>
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a
"Plan"), or any other person (including an investment manager, a named fiduciary
or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or
purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any Plan.
No transfer of a Class R Certificate shall be made unless such transfer is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, (the "Act"), or is made in accordance with said Act. In the event that
such a transfer is to be made, the prospective transferee of such Certificate
shall be required to provide the Trustee, the Contract Seller and the Servicer
with an investment letter substantially in the form described by the Agreement,
as required under Section 6.02 of the Agreement. The Holder hereof desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Certificate Registrar acting on behalf of
the Trustee against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so
exempt or is not made in accordance with the Act or any similar state laws.
Each Holder of this Class R Certificate will be deemed to have agreed to be
bound by the restrictions of Section 6.02 of the Agreement, including but not
limited to the restrictions that (i) each person holding or acquiring any
Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must be a Permitted Transferee,
(ii) no Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate may be transferred
without delivery to the Trustee of (a) a transfer affidavit of the proposed
transferee and (b) a transfer certificate of the transferor, each of such
documents to be in the form described in the Agreement, (iii) each person
holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must
agree to require a transfer affidavit and to deliver a transfer certificate to
the Trustee as required pursuant to the Agreement, (iv) each person holding or
acquiring an Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate must agree not to
transfer an Ownership Interest in this Class R Certificate if it has actual
knowledge that the proposed Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee and (v) any
attempted or purported transfer of any Ownership Interest in this Class R
Certificate in violation of such restrictions will be absolutely null and void
and will vest no rights in the purported transferee.
Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Certificate set
forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all purposes
have the same effect as if set forth at this place.
This Certificate shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Agreement
or be valid for any purpose unless the certificate of authentication hereon has
been manually executed by an authorized officer of the Trustee.

institution][corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of ____________][the United States], on behalf of which he/she makes this
affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a "disqualified
organization" as of [date of transfer] within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5)
of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (ii) will
endeavor to remain other than a disqualified organization for so long as it
retains its ownership interest in the Class R Certificates, and (iii) is
acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own account or for the account of
another Owner from which it has received an affidavit and agreement in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. (For this purpose,
a "disqualified organization" means the United States, any state or political
subdivision thereof, any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing
(other than an instrumentality all of the activities of which are subject to tax
and, except for the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, a majority of whose
board of directors is not selected by any agency or instrumentality of such
foreign government or organization, any rural electric or telephone cooperative,
or any organization (other than certain farmers' cooperatives) that is generally
exempt from federal income tax unless such organization is subject to the tax on
unrelated business taxable income).
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code;
(ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through
an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a
disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable
for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee
furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified
organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual
knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates
may be "noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury
regulations promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a
noneconomic residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect
to the income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the
transfer was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of
the pass-through entity a
Exhibit G-1-1
<PAGE>
disqualified organization is the record holder of an interest in such entity.
(For this purpose, a "pass through entity" includes a regulated investment
company, a real estate investment trust or common trust fund, a partnership,
trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to
the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code, or an investment
manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan, or any other Person
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with
"plan assets" of any such plan.
6. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in

agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.
7. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(c) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement") under which the Class R Certificates
were issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 6.02(c)
which authorize the Trustee to deliver payments to a person other than the Owner
and negotiate a mandatory sale by the Trustee in the event the Owner holds such
Certificates in violation of Section 6.02(c)). The Owner expressly agrees to be
bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the provisions of the Agreement
defining the obligations of the REMIC Administrator (as defined in the
Agreement) and hereby assumes such obligations of the REMIC Administrator and
delegates such duties to the Servicer (as defined in the Agreement); provided,
however, that such delegation will not relieve the Owner of its obligations as
REMIC Administrator. The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply
with such provisions.
9. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
10. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is ____________.
11. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.
12. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of
the Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collections of any tax.

13. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate
that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
14. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
15. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States state thereof (including the District of Columbia),
or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
________(the "Transferor") to _________(the "Buyer") of $___________Initial
Principal Balance of GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Pass-
Through Certificates, Series 1999-1, Class R (the "Certificates"), issued
pursuant to Section 6.02(c) of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the
"Agreement"), dated as of February 1, 1999 between GreenPoint Credit Corp., as
Contract Seller and Servicer, and The First National Bank of Chicago, as the
Trustee. All terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the
meanings set forth in the Agreement. The Transferor hereby certifies,
represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Contract Seller and the
Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Certificate
by the Transferor to the Buyer is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.
2. The Transferor understands that the Buyer has delivered to the Trustee
and the Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit G-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any
representation contained therein is false.
3. The Transferor has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the Buyer as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that
investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Buyer has historically
paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Buyer will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in
the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of a Class R
Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated
therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.
Exhibit G-2-1
<PAGE>
4. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed Buyer is not
both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.
5. The Transferor further certifies that (a) we understand that such
Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), and are being disposed of by us in a transaction that is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, (b) neither the Transferor
nor anyone acting on its behalf has (i) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or
otherwise transferred any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any
other similar security from any person in any manner, (ii) solicited any offer
to buy or to accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of any Certificate,
any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security from any person in
any manner, (iii) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security from
any person in any manner, (iv) made any general solicitation by means of general
advertising or in any other manner, or (v) taken any other action, that (as to
any of (i) through (iv) above) would constitute a distribution of the

certified copy of a final order of a court exercising jurisdiction in such
Insolvency Proceeding to the effect that the Beneficiary or Certificateholders

Order and not to the Beneficiary or Certificateholders directly unless such
Certificateholder has returned principal and interest paid on the Certificates
to such receiver, conservator, debtor-in-possession or trustee in bankruptcy, in
which case such payment shall be disbursed to such Certificateholder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall MBIA be obligated to make

would have been required to make a payment in respect of such principal pursuant
to the first paragraph of this Policy.
Payment of amounts hereunder shall be made in immediately available funds
(x) pursuant to the first paragraph of this Policy on the later of (a) 12:00

respect of Avoided Payments prior to 12:00 noon New York City time, on the
second Business Day following MBIA's receipt of the documents required under
clauses (x) through (z) of the second preceding paragraph. Any such documents
received by MBIA after 12:00 noon New York City time on any Business Day or on
any day that is not a Business Day shall be deemed to have been received by MBIA
prior to 12:00 noon on the next succeeding Business Day. All payments made by
MBIA hereunder in respect of Avoided Payments will be made with MBIA's own
funds. A Notice for Payment under this Policy may be presented to the Fiscal
Agent on any Business Day following the Determination Date in respect of which
the Notice for Payment is being presented, by (a) delivery of the original
Notice for Payment to the Fiscal Agent at its address set forth below, or (b)

its facsimile number set forth below. If presentation is made by facsimile
transmission, the Beneficiary shall (i) simultaneously confirm transmission by
telephone to the Fiscal Agent at its telephone number set forth below, and (ii)
as soon as reasonably practicable, deliver the original Notice for Payment to
the Fiscal Agent at its address set forth below. Any Notice for Payment received

Fiscal Agent at 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next succeeding Business
Day.
If any Notice for Payment received by the Fiscal Agent is not in proper
form or is otherwise insufficient for the purpose of making a claim hereunder,
it shall be deemed not to have been received by the Fiscal Agent, and MBIA or
the Fiscal Agent, as the case may be, shall promptly so advise the Trustee, and
the Trustee may submit an amended Notice for Payment.
Payments due hereunder unless otherwise stated herein will be disbursed by
the Fiscal Agent to the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders by wire
transfer of immediately available funds in the amount of such payment.
The Fiscal Agent is the agent of MBIA only, and the Fiscal Agent shall in
no event be liable to Certificateholders for any acts of the Fiscal Agent or any
failure of MBIA to deposit or cause to be deposited sufficient funds to make
payments due under this Policy.
MBIA hereby waives and agrees not to assert any and all rights to require
the Beneficiary to make demand on or to proceed against any person, party or
security prior to the Beneficiary demanding payment under this Policy.
No defenses, set-offs and counterclaims of any kind available to MBIA so as
to deny payment of any amount due in respect of this Policy will be valid and
MBIA hereby waives and agrees not to assert any and all such defenses, set-offs
and counterclaims, including, without limitation, any such rights acquired by
subrogation, assignment or otherwise.
Any rights of subrogation acquired by MBIA as a result of any payment made
under this Policy shall, in all respects, be subordinate and junior in right of
payment to the prior indefeasible payment in full of all amounts due the Trustee
on account of payments due under the Certificates.
