the Master REMIC, excluding the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account, the

assignment substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, (1) all the right,
title and interest of the Seller in and to the Initial and Additional Contracts,

Initial and Additional Contracts (other than the principal and interest due on

Seller under the Transfer Agreement, (2) all rights under every Hazard Insurance
Policy relating to a Manufactured Home securing an Initial or Additional

if such conveyances are deemed to be a pledge of security for loans from the
Certificateholders or any other Persons (the "Secured Obligations"), the parties
intend that the rights and obligations of the parties to the Secured Obligations
shall be established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The parties also
intend and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee,

constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If the trust created by

under any Certificates or the Secured Obligations, the security interest created
hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed
to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

Seller as constituting the sole class of "residual interests" in the Subsidiary
REMIC for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code.
d. The Closing Date, which is the day on which each of the Subsidiary

e. After the Closing Date, neither the Trustee, the Originator, the
Seller nor any Servicer shall (i) accept any contribution of assets to the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, (ii) dispose of any portion of the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, other than as provided in Sections 3.06,
3.07 and 8.05, (iii) engage in any "prohibited transaction," as defined in
Sections 860F(a)(2) and (5) of the Code, except as may be contemplated by
Section 3.06(c), (iv) accept any contribution after the Closing Date that is
subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code or (v) engage in any
activity or enter into any agreement that would result in the receipt by the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC of any "net income from foreclosure
property" as defined in Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code, unless, prior to any
such
2-8
action set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) the Trustee shall have
received an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an
expense of the Trust, stating that such action will not, directly or indirectly,
(A) adversely affect the status of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a
REMIC or the status of the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests as "regular
interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the Class C Subsidiary
Certificates as the sole class of "residual interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC,
the status of the Regular Certificates as "regular interests" in the Master
REMIC, or the status of the Class C Master Certificates as the sole class of

charge or encumbrance upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC.
f. Upon the acquisition of any real property (including interests in real
property), or any personal property incident thereto, in connection with the
default of a Contract, the Servicer and the Trustee (at the direction of the
Servicer) shall take, or cause to be taken, such action as is necessary to sell
or otherwise dispose of such property within such period as is then required by
the Code in order for such property to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Servicer and the
Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC of such property subsequent to the period
then permitted by the Code will not result in the imposition of any taxes on
"prohibited transactions" of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, as
defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master
REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Uncertificated
Subsidiary Interests, Class C Subsidiary Certificates, Regular Certificates or
Class C Master Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate such real property, or any personal property
incident thereto, so that such property will not fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property," as defined in Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, and that the
management, conservation, protection and operation of such property will not
result in the receipt by the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC of any "income
from nonpermitted assets," within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the
Code.

------------------------------
Each of the Seller and Originator makes the following representations and
warranties on which the Trustee will rely in accepting the Contracts in trust
and issuing the Certificates on behalf of the Trust. The repurchase or
substitution obligation of the Originator set forth in Section 3.06 constitutes
the sole remedy available to the Trust or the Certificateholders for a breach of
a representation or warranty of the Originator set forth in Section 2.02(n),
3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 of this Agreement.
SECTION 3.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Seller.

The Seller represents and warrants to the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, effective on the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer
Date, that:
a. Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a corporation duly
------------------------------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to own its assets
and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Seller is
duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or

failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) of the Seller.
b. Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Seller has the power and
----------------------------------
authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement, and to create the Trust and
cause it to make, execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and to cause the Trust to
be created. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with
its terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights
generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.
c. No Consent Required. The Seller is not required to obtain the consent
-------------------
of any other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or
registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency
in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement.
d. No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
-------------
Agreement by the Seller will not violate any provision of any existing law or
regulation or any order or decree of any court or the Articles of Incorporation
or Bylaws of the Seller, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage,
indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Seller or Originator is a
party or by which the Seller may be bound.
e. Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before
----------
any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the
knowledge of the Seller threatened,
3-1
against the Seller or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement or
the Certificates which, if adversely determined, would in the opinion of the
Seller have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement.
f. Licensing. The Seller is duly registered as a finance company in each
---------
state in which Contracts were originated, to the extent such registration is
required by applicable law.
SECTION 3.02. Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Contract.
------------------------------------------------------
The Originator has made the following representations and warranties to the
Seller in the Transfer Agreement, which representations and warranties the
Seller has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as
of the Closing Date with respect to each Initial and Additional Contract, and as
of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent
Contract identified on the List of Contracts attached to the related Subsequent
Transfer Agreement:
a. List of Contracts. The information set forth in the applicable List
-----------------
of Contracts is true and correct as of its date.
b. Payments. As of the Cut-off Date, the most recent scheduled payment
--------
was made by or on behalf of the Obligor (without any advance from the Originator
or any Person acting at the request of the Originator) or was not past due for
more than 59 days (in the case of an Initial or Additional Contract) or 30 days
(in the case of a Subsequent Contract).
c. No Waivers. The terms of the Contract have not been waived, altered
----------
or modified in any respect, except by instruments or documents identified in the
Contract File or Land-and-Home Contract File, as applicable.
d. Binding Obligation. The Contract is the legal, valid and binding
------------------
obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally.
e. No Defenses. The Contract is not subject to any right of rescission,
-----------
setoff, counterclaim or defense, including the defense of usury, and the
operation of any of the terms of the Contract or the exercise of any right
thereunder will not render the Contract unenforceable in whole or in part or
subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense, including
the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or
defense has been asserted with respect thereto.
f. Insurance Coverage. The Manufactured Home securing the Contract is
------------------
covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy in the amount required by Section 5.09.
Each Manufactured Home secured by an FHA/VA Contract which was, at the time of
origination of the related Contract, located within a federally designated
special flood hazard area is covered by insurance coverage at least equal to
that required by Section 5.09 or such lesser coverage as may be available under
the federal flood insurance program. With respect to any other Contract that is
not an FHA/VA Contract, the Originator has obtained: (a) a statement from the
Obligor's insurance agent that the Manufactured Home was, at the time of
origination of the Contract, not in a federally designated special flood hazard
area; or (b) evidence that, at the time of origination, flood insurance was in
3-2
effect, which coverage is at least equal to that required by Section 5.09 or
such lesser coverage as may be available under the federal flood insurance
program. All premiums due as of the Closing Date on such insurance have been
paid in full.
g. Origination. The Contract was originated by a manufactured housing
-----------
dealer and purchased by the Originator, or originated by the Originator
directly, in the regular course of its business.
h. Lawful Assignment. The Contract was not originated in and is not
-----------------
subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer of
the Contract pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
Certificates, or the ownership of the Contract by the Trust, unlawful or render
the Contract unenforceable.
i. Compliance with Law. At the date of origination of the Contract, all
-------------------
requirements of any federal and state laws, rules and regulations applicable to
the Contract, including, without limitation, usury, truth in lending and equal
credit opportunity laws, have been complied with, and the Originator shall for
at least the period of this Agreement, maintain in its possession, available for
the Trustee's inspection, and shall deliver to the Trustee upon demand, evidence
of compliance with all such requirements. Such compliance is not affected by
the Trust's ownership of the Contract.
j. Contract in Force. The Contract has not been satisfied or
-----------------
subordinated in whole or in part or rescinded, and the Manufactured Home
securing the Contract has not been released from the lien of the Contract in
whole or in part.
k. Valid Security Interest. Each Contract (other than the Land-and-Home
-----------------------
Contracts) creates a valid and enforceable perfected first priority security
interest in favor of the Originator in the Manufactured Home covered thereby as
security for payment of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of such Contract.
The Originator has assigned all of its right, title and interest in such
Contract, including the security interest in the Manufactured Home covered
thereby, to the Seller, and the Seller has assigned all of its right, title and
interest in such Contract, including the security interest in the Manufactured
Home covered thereby, to the Trustee. The Trustee has and will have a valid and
perfected and enforceable first priority security interest in such Contract and
Manufactured Home.
Each Mortgage is a valid first lien in favor of the Seller on real
property securing the amount owed by the Obligor under the related Land-and-Home
Contract subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally in the area wherein the property subject to the
Mortgage is located or specifically reflected in the appraisal obtained in
connection with the origination of the related Land-and-Home Contract obtained
by the Seller and (c) other matters to which like properties are commonly
subject which do not materially interfere with the benefits of the security
intended to be provided by such Mortgage. Each Land-and-Home Contract is covered
by an American Land Title Association, or equivalent form, lender's title
insurance policy. The Seller has assigned all of its right, title and interest
in such Land-and-Home Contract and related Mortgage,
3-3
including the security interest in the Manufactured Home covered thereby, to the
Trustee. The Trustee has and will have a valid and perfected and enforceable
first priority security interest in such Land-and-Home Contract.
l. Capacity of Parties. The signature(s) of the Obligor(s) on the
-------------------
Contract are genuine and all parties to the Contract had full legal capacity to
execute the Contract.
m. Good Title. In the case of a Contract purchased from a manufactured
----------
housing dealer, the Originator purchased the Contract for fair value and took
possession thereof in the ordinary course of its business, without knowledge
that the Contract was subject to a security interest. The Originator has not
sold, assigned or pledged the Contract to any person and prior to the transfer
of the Contract by the Originator to the Seller under the terms of the Transfer
Agreement, the Originator had good and marketable title thereto free and clear
of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and
was the sole owner thereof with full right to transfer the Contract to the
Seller. With respect to any Contract bearing a stamp indicating that such
Contract has been sold to another party, such other party's interest in such
Contract has been released.
n. No Defaults. As of the applicable Cut-off Date, there was no default,
-----------
breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existing under the Contract
and no event which, with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period,
would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event permitting
acceleration under such Contract (except payment delinquencies permitted by
clause (b) above). The Originator has not waived any such default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration except payment delinquencies
permitted by clause (b) above. As of the Closing Date or the Subsequent
Transfer Date, as applicable, the related Manufactured Home is, to the best of
the Originator's knowledge, free of damage and in good repair. To the best of
the Originator's knowledge, no Manufactured Home has suffered damage that is not
covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy, including, but not limited to, hurricanes,
earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hailstorms, straight-line winds, sinkholes,
mudslides, volcanic eruptions, meteorites and other natural disasters.
o. No Liens. As of the Closing Date or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as
--------
applicable, there are, to the best of the Originator's knowledge, no liens or
claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the
Manufactured Home or any related Mortgaged Property securing the Contract which
are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
Contract.
p. Equal Installments. Except for 56 Step-up Rate Contracts included
------------------
among the Initial Contracts and 54 Step-up Rate Contracts included among the
Additional Contracts, each Contract has a fixed Contract Rate and provides for
level monthly payments which fully amortize the loan over its term. Of the
Step-up Rate Contracts which are still bearing interest at their initial
Contract Rates, 104 provide for two rate increases and the remainder provide for
a single rate increase.
q. Enforceability. The Contract contains customary and enforceable
--------------
provisions so as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
adequate for the realization against the collateral of the benefits of the
security provided thereby.
3-4
r. One Original. There is only one original executed Contract (other
------------
than the original executed copy retained by the Obligor), which Contract has
been delivered to the Trustee or its custodian on or before the Closing Date or
the Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable. Each Contract (other than the
Land-and-Home Contracts) has been stamped to reflect the assignment of such
Contract to the Trustee.
s. Loan-to-Value Ratio. At the time of their origination all of the
-------------------
Contracts had Loan-to-Value Ratios not greater than 100%; if the related
Manufactured Home was new at the time such Contract was originated, the original
principal balance of such Contract did not exceed 130% of the manufacturer's
invoice price, plus 100% of the taxes and license fees, 130% of the freight
charges, 100% of the dealer's cost of additional dealer-installed equipment (not
to exceed 25% of the original principal balance of such Contract in all states
except California; not to exceed 70% of the manufacturer's invoice price in
California if required to meet park requirements) and up to $1,500 of set-up
costs per module.
t. Primary Resident. At the time of origination of the Contract the
----------------
Obligor was the primary resident of the related Manufactured Home.
u. Not Real Estate. With respect to each Contract other than a Land-and-
---------------
Home Contract, the related Manufactured Home is not considered or classified as
part of the real estate on which it is located under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is located.
v. Notation of Security Interest. With respect to each Contract other
-----------------------------
than a Land-and-Home Contract, if the related Manufactured Home is located in a
state in which notation of a security interest on the title document is required
or permitted to perfect such security interest, the title document shows, or if
a new or replacement title document with respect to such Manufactured Home is
being applied for such title document will be issued within 180 days and will
show, the Originator or its assignee as the holder of a first priority security
interest in such Manufactured Home; if the related Manufactured Home is located
in a state in which the filing of a financing statement under the UCC is
required to perfect a security interest in manufactured housing, such filings or
recordings have been duly made and show the Originator or its assignee as
secured party. If the related Manufactured Home secures a Land-and-Home
Contract, such Manufactured Home is subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the
appropriate public recording office or such Mortgage will be properly filed in
the appropriate public recording office within 180 days, naming the Seller as
mortgagee. In either case, the Trustee has the same rights as the secured party
of record would have (if such secured party were still the owner of the
Contract) against all Persons (including the Seller and the Originator and any
trustee in bankruptcy of the Seller or the Originator) claiming an interest in
such Manufactured Home.
w. Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act. The related Manufactured
-----------------------------------------
Home is a "manufactured home" within the meaning of 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Code,
Section 5402(6). Each manufactured housing dealer from whom the Originator
purchased such Contract, if any, was then approved by the Originator in
accordance with the requirements of the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development set forth in 24 CFR (S) 201.27. At the origination of each Contract,
the Originator was approved for insurance by the Secretary of Housing and Urban
Development pursuant to Section 2 of the National Housing Act.
3-5
x. Qualified Mortgage. The Contract represents a "qualified mortgage"
------------------
within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code. The Originator represents
and warrants that, either as of the date of origination or the Closing Date, the
fair market value of the property securing each Contract was not less than 80%
of the "adjusted issue price" (within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) of
such Contract.
SECTION 3.03. Additional Representations and Warranties. The Seller hereby
-----------------------------------------
represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date with respect to each Initial and
Additional Contract and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each
Subsequent Contract identified on the List of Contracts attached to the related
Subsequent Transfer Instrument:
a. Lawful Assignment. The Contract was not originated in and is not
-----------------
subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer of
the Contract under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the Certificates
unlawful or render the Contract unenforceable. The Seller has duly executed a
valid blanket assignment of the Contracts transferred to the Trust, and has
transferred all its right, title and interest in such Contracts. The blanket
assignment, any and all documents executed and delivered by the Seller pursuant
to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.03(b), and this Agreement each constitutes the legal,
valid and binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with its
respective terms.
b. Good Title. The Seller is the sole owner of the Contract and has the
----------
authority to sell, transfer and assign such Contract to the Trust under the
terms of this Agreement. There has been no assignment, sale or hypothecation of
the Contract by the Seller, which does not terminate upon sale of the Contract
to the Trust. The Seller has good and marketable title to the Contract, free
and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim, lien or
encumbrance of any type and has full right to transfer the Contract to the
Trust.
SECTION 3.04. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contracts in
---------------------------------------------------------
the Aggregate.
-------------
The Originator has represented and warranted to the Seller in the Transfer
Agreement, which representations and warranties the Seller has assigned to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date with
respect to the Initial and Additional Contracts, and as of each Subsequent
Transfer Date with respect to the related Subsequent Contracts, that:

Staged-Funding Contracts included among the Initial Contracts were fully
disbursed) as of the Cut-off Date equal $252,709,835.51. The aggregate

SECTION 3.05. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contract Files.
-----------------------------------------------------------
The Originator has represented and warranted to the Seller in the Transfer
Agreement, which representations and warranties the Seller has assigned to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date with

Transfer Date, as applicable, the Originator will have possession of each
original Contract and the related Contract File or Land-and-Home Contract File
and there are and there will be no custodial agreements in effect materially and
adversely affecting the rights of the Originator to make, or cause to be made,

SECTION 3.06. Repurchase of Contracts or Substitution of Contracts for
--------------------------------------------------------
Breach of Representations and Warranties.
----------------------------------------
a. The Originator shall repurchase a Contract, at its Repurchase Price,
not later than the first Determination Date that is 90 or more days after the
day on which the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller or the Trustee first
discovers or should have discovered a breach of a representation or warranty of
the Originator set forth in Sections 2.02(n), 3.02, 3.03 or 3.05 of this
Agreement that materially adversely affects the Trust's or the
Certificateholders' interest in such Contract and which breach has not been
cured; provided, however, that (i) in the event that a party other than the
Originator first becomes aware of such breach, such discovering party shall
notify the Originator in writing within five Business Days of the date of such
discovery and (ii) with respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the
List of Contracts with respect to unpaid principal balance, which the Originator
would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section, the
Originator may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deliver to the Seller for
deposit in the Certificate Account no later than the first Determination Date
that is 90 or more days from the date of such discovery cash in an amount
sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy. Any such cash so deposited
shall be distributed to Certificateholders on the immediately following
Remittance Date as a collection of principal or interest on such Contract,
according to the nature of the deficiency or discrepancy. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this
Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Originator shall repurchase any Land-and-Home
Contract, at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or substitute for it an Eligible
Substitute Contract as described in Section 3.06(b), if the Seller has failed to
deliver the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Trustee within 30 days of
the Closing Date.
b. On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, the Originator, at its election, may substitute one or more Eligible
Substitute Contracts for any
3-9
Contracts that it is obligated to repurchase pursuant to Section 3.06(a) (such
Contracts being referred to as the "Replaced Contracts") upon satisfaction of
the following conditions:
(i) the Originator shall have conveyed to the Seller the Contracts
to be substituted for the Replaced Contracts and the Contract Files related
to such Contracts and the Originator shall have marked the Electronic
Ledger indicating that such Contracts constitute part of the Trust;
(ii) the Contracts to be substituted for the Replaced Contracts are
Eligible Substitute Contracts and the Originator delivers an Officers'
Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit L-2 hereto, to the
Trustee certifying that such Contracts are Eligible Substitute Contracts;
(iii) the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller evidence of
filing of a UCC-1 financing statement executed by the Originator as debtor,
naming the Seller as secured party and the Seller shall have delivered to
the Trustee evidence of filing of a UCC-1 financing statement executed by
the Seller as debtor, naming the Trustee as secured party and filed in
Minnesota, listing such Contracts as collateral, or shall have delivered to
the Seller or the Trustee, as the case may be, an amended List of
Contracts;
(iv) in respect of Eligible Substitute Contracts that are Land-and-
Home Contracts:
(x) the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller, or its
Custodian, the related Land-and-Home Contract Files; and
(y) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion
of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the
Trustee holds a perfected first priority lien in the real
estate securing such Eligible Substitute Contracts, or evidence
of recordation of the assignment to the Trustee on behalf of
the Trust of (A) each Mortgage securing such Eligible
Contracts;
(v) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Contracts for
such Replaced Contracts will not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time under then applicable REMIC Provisions or cause any
"prohibited transaction" that will result in the imposition of a tax under
such REMIC Provisions and (b) to the effect of paragraph 9 of Exhibit F
hereto; and
(vi) if the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced
Contracts is greater than the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Contracts being substituted, the Originator shall have delivered to the
Seller for deposit in the Certificate Account the amount of such excess and
shall have included in the Officers' Certificate required by clause (ii)
above a certification that such deposit has been made.
Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Contracts
to, and delete such Replaced Contracts from, the List of Contracts. Such
substitution shall be effected prior to the first Determination Date that occurs
90 or more days after the Originator becomes aware, or
3-10
should have become aware, or receives written notice from the Trustee, of the
breach referred to in Section 3.06(a). Promptly after any substitution of a
Contract, the Originator shall give written notice of such substitution to the
Rating Agencies.
c. (i) On or before the Funding Termination Date, the Originator or
the Seller shall deliver one or more Officer's Certificates to the Trustee,
identifying those Staged-Funding Contracts that have been fully disbursed
in accordance with the terms of such Contract on or before the Funding
Termination Date and specifying that portion of the funds held in the
Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account attributable to those Staged-
Funding Contracts. On or before the Funding Termination Date, the
Originator or the Seller shall deliver an Officer's Certificate to the
Trustee, specifying any Staged-Funding Contracts which were not fully
disbursed by the Funding Termination Date (each Staged-Funding Contract
that was not so fully disbursed being hereinafter referred to as an
"Unfunded Contract"), and the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of each
Unfunded Contract.
(ii) On or before the Funding Termination Date, the Originator shall
either repurchase any Unfunded Contract in accordance with Section 3.06(a)
(or the unfunded portion thereof, by depositing in the Certificate Account
any undisbursed amount with respect to such Unfunded Contract), or shall
substitute an Eligible Substitute Contract for such Unfunded Contract in
accordance with Section 3.06(b). With respect to the repurchase of an
Unfunded Contract pursuant to this Section 3.06(c), an amount of the
Repurchase Price equal to the Unfunded Contract Shortfall attributable to
such Unfunded Contract shall be treated as a refund to the Trust of the
purchase price paid by the Trust for additional obligations of the Obligor
on such Contract under Section 2.01(c), and the remainder of the Repurchase
Price shall be treated as paid to the Trust for such Unfunded Contract.
(iii) If the Originator shall have failed to repurchase an Unfunded
Contract (or the unfunded portion thereof, by depositing in the Certificate
Account any undisbursed amount with respect to such Unfunded Contract) or
to substitute an Eligible Substitute Contract therefor in accordance with
subsection (ii) above, then the disbursed principal balance of such
Unfunded Contract as owned by the Trust shall not be increased after the
Funding Termination Date, notwithstanding any further disbursements that
may be made to the related Obligor by the Originator after the Funding
Termination Date. The Servicer shall thereafter allocate principal and
interest collected on the Contract between the Trust and the Originator on
a pro rata basis in accordance with the disbursed principal balance as of
the Funding Termination Date, with the result that payments of interest and
principal collected with respect to such disbursed principal balance as of
the Funding Termination Date shall be deemed collected by the Trust. The
aggregate differential between the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of all
such Unfunded Contracts as specified in the List of Contracts and the
disbursed principal balance of such Unfunded Contracts as of the Funding
Termination Date (the "Unfunded Contract Shortfall") shall be added to the
Formula Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the Remittance Date
in January 2001.
3-11
(iv) On the Business Day prior to each Remittance Date until and
including the Remittance Date immediately following the Funding Termination
Date, the Originator shall pay any Class A Interest Shortfall, Class M-1
Interest Shortfall, Class M-2 Interest Shortfall or Class B-1 Interest
Shortfall occurring on such Remittance Date, if and to the extent such
shortfall is caused by the difference between (A) the interest that would
have been payable on all Staged-Funding Contracts in the related month had
such Contracts been fully disbursed on the Closing Date and (B) the
interest actually payable on such Contracts in the related month according
to the terms of such Contracts.
(v) To further evidence its obligation to repurchase Unfunded
Contracts pursuant to subsection (ii) above and to deposit any Class A
Interest Shortfall, Class M-1 Interest Shortfall, Class M-2 Interest
Shortfall and Class B-1 Interest Shortfall pursuant to subsection (iv)
above, the Originator shall deliver to the Trustee, on the Closing Date, a
demand note in an amount no less than the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal
Balances of the Staged-Funding Contracts. After the Funding Termination
Date or such earlier date on which the Originator either has fully
disbursed or repurchased each Staged-Funding Contract as required herein,
the Trustee shall return such demand note to the Originator for
cancellation and/or destruction.
d. Upon receipt by the Trust by deposit in the Certificate Account of the
Repurchase Price under subsection (a) or (c) above, or the delivery of an
Eligible Substitute Contract pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above, and upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L-1 or L-2, the Trustee shall convey and assign to the Originator all of
the Trust's right, title and interest in the repurchased Contract or Replaced
Contract without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence
of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising as a result of actions
of the Trustee.
e. The Originator shall defend and indemnify the Trustee and the
Certificateholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, arising out of
any claims which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result
of any third-party action arising out of any breach of any such representation
and warranty.
SECTION 3.07. No Repurchase or Substitution Under Certain Circumstances.
---------------------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no
repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 3.06 (other than a repurchase or
substitution pursuant to Section 3.06(c)) shall be made unless the Originator
obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that any
such repurchase or substitution would not, under the REMIC Provisions, (i) cause
the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC while any
regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, respectively, is
outstanding, (ii) result in a tax on prohibited transactions within the meaning
of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or (iii) constitute a contribution after the
startup day subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code. The Servicer
shall attempt to obtain such Opinion of Counsel. In the case of a repurchase or
deposit pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or 3.06(c), the Originator shall,
notwithstanding the absence of such opinion as to the imposition of any tax as
the result of such purchase or deposit, repurchase such Contract or make such
deposit and shall
3-12
guarantee the payment of such tax by paying to the Trustee the amount of such
tax not later than five Business Days before such tax shall be due and payable
to the extent that amounts previously paid over to and then held by the Trustee
pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof are insufficient to pay such tax and all other
taxes chargeable under Section 6.06. Pursuant to Section 6.06, the Servicer is
hereby directed to withhold, and shall withhold and pay over to the Trustee, an
amount sufficient to pay such tax and any other taxes imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or imposed on "contributions
after start up date" under Section 860G(d) of the Code from amounts otherwise
distributable to Class C Subsidiary Certificateholders. The Servicer shall give
notice to the Trustee at the time of such repurchase of the amounts due from the
Originator pursuant to the guarantee of the Originator described above and
notice as to who should receive such payment.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any such amounts pursuant to
this Section other than from moneys provided to it by the Originator or from
moneys held in the funds and accounts created under this Agreement. The Trustee
shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with this Section if it follows
the directions of the Originator.
In the event any tax that is guaranteed by the Originator pursuant to this
Section 3.07 is refunded to the Trust or otherwise is determined not to be
payable, the Originator shall be repaid the amount of such refund or that
portion of any guarantee payment made by the Originator that is not applied to
the payment of such tax.
SECTION 3.08. Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account.
---------------------------------------
a. The Trustee shall establish the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account, and shall
deposit therein the amount specified in Section 2.02(t). The Account shall be
entitled "U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of holders
of Manufactured Housing Contract Senior/Subordinate Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2000-6."
b. Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to
Section 3.06(c)(i) to the effect that one or more Staged-Funding Contracts have
been fully disbursed in accordance with the terms of such Contract, on or before
the Funding Termination Date, the Trustee shall release to the Seller that
portion of the funds held in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account
attributable to those Staged-Funding Contracts (as specified in such Officer's
Certificate).
c. If the Originator fails to satisfy its obligations under Section
3.06(c)(ii) hereof the Trustee shall withdraw from the Staged-Funding Contract
Reserve Account that amount necessary to satisfy the Originator's obligations
under Section 3.06(c)(ii), and shall apply said funds in the fashion provided in
the second sentence in Section 3.06(c)(ii). Any amount so applied shall be
deposited in the Certificate Account and treated for all purposes under this
Agreement as an amount paid by the Originator to repurchase Contracts under
Section 3.06(c).
d. The Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust
but not part of the Subsidiary REMIC or Master REMIC. The Trustee on behalf of
the Trust shall be the legal owner of the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account. The Originator shall be the
3-13
beneficial owner of the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account, subject to the
foregoing power of the Trustee to apply amounts in the Staged-Funding Contract
Reserve Account to satisfy the obligations of the Originator under Section
3.06(c)(ii). Funds in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account shall, at the
direction of the Originator, be invested in Eligible Investments that mature no
later than the Funding Termination Date. All net income and gain from such
investments shall be distributed to the Originator on the Funding Termination
Date. Any losses on such investments shall be deposited in the Staged-Funding
Contract Reserve Account by the Originator out of its own funds immediately as
realized. All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Staged-Funding
Contract Reserve Account shall be taxable to the Originator.
e. Any funds remaining in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account
after the Funding Termination Date shall be distributed to the Originator.

PERFECTION OF TRANSFER AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS
-----------------------------------------------------------
SECTION 4.01. Custody of Contracts.
--------------------
a. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section the Trustee
appoints the Servicer to maintain custody of the Contract Files for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the Trustee. The Custodian shall maintain custody
of the Land-and-Home Contract Files. In the event that the Trustee is no longer
acting as Custodian of the Land-and-Home Contract Files, upon execution and
delivery of an agreement between the Trustee and the Person assuming the duties
of the Trustee hereunder as Custodian with respect to the Land-and-Home Contract
Files, the replacement Custodian shall concurrently execute an acknowledgment of
receipt of the Land-and-Home Contract Files substantially in the form of Exhibit
H hereto.
b. The Servicer agrees to maintain the related Contract Files at its
office where they are currently maintained, or at such other offices of the
Servicer in the State of Minnesota as shall from time to time be identified to
the Trustee by written notice. The Servicer may temporarily move individual
Contract Files or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to conduct
collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary
practices and procedures.
c. As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers
and duties:
(i) hold the Contract Files on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, maintain accurate records pertaining to each Contract to
enable it to comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
maintain a current inventory thereof, conduct annual physical inspections
of Contract Files held by it under this Agreement and certify to the
Trustee annually that it continues to maintain possession of such Contract
Files;
(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, the Servicer agrees to
act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that it exercises
with respect to similar contracts owned and/or serviced by it. The Servicer
shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure by it to hold the Contract
Files as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to remedy
any such failure. In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the Servicer
agrees further not to assert any beneficial ownership interests in the Contracts
or the Contract Files. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Certificateholders
and the Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred or asserted against the Certificateholders and the Trustee as
4-1
the result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the maintenance
and custody of the Contract Files; provided, however, that the Servicer will not
be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of any Certificateholder or the Trustee.
SECTION 4.02. Filings.
-------
On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator shall cause the UCC-1
financing statement referred to in Section 2.02(h) to be filed. Trustee shall
cause to be filed all necessary continuation statements of the UCC-1 financing
statement. From time to time the Servicer shall take and cause to be taken such
actions and execute such documents as are necessary to perfect and protect the
Certificateholders' interest in the Contracts and their proceeds and the
Manufactured Homes against all other persons, including, without limitation, the
filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements,
the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations on or taking
possession of all records or documents of title. The Servicer will maintain the
Trustee's first priority perfected security interest in each Manufactured Home
and a first lien on each Mortgaged Property so long as the related Contract is
property of the Trust.
SECTION 4.03. Name Change or Relocation.
-------------------------
a. During the term of this Agreement, the Originator shall not change its
name, identity or structure or relocate its chief executive office without first
giving notice thereof to the Seller, the Trustee and the Servicer. In addition,
following any such change in the name, identity, structure or location of the
chief executive office of the Originator, the Originator shall give written
notice of any such change to Standard & Poor's, Xxxxx'x and Fitch.
b. If any change in the Originator's name, identity or structure or the
relocation of its chief executive office would make any financing or
continuation statement or notice of lien filed under this Agreement seriously
misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title
statute or would cause any such financing or continuation statement or notice of
lien to become unperfected (whether immediately or with lapse of time), the
Originator, no later than five days after the effective date of such change,
shall file, or cause to be filed, such amendments or financing statements as may
be required to preserve, perfect and protect the Certificateholders' interest in
the Contracts and proceeds thereof and in the Manufactured Homes.
SECTION 4.04. Chief Executive Office.

During the term of this Agreement, the Originator will maintain its chief
executive office in one of the States of the United States, except Tennessee.

connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against all
third parties, of the Certificateholders' right, title and interest in and to
the Contracts (including, without limitation, the security interests in the
Manufactured Homes granted thereby).

SERVICING OF CONTRACTS
----------------------
SECTION 5.01. Responsibility for Contract Administration.
------------------------------------------
The Servicer will have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service
and make collections on the Contracts and perform or cause to be performed all
contractual and customary undertakings of the holder of the Contracts to the
Obligor. Conseco Finance Corp., if it is the Servicer, may delegate some or all
of its servicing duties to a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp.,
for so long as such subsidiary remains, directly or indirectly, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp. Notwithstanding any such delegation,
Conseco Finance Corp. shall retain all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer hereunder. The Trustee, at the request of a Servicing Officer, shall
furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney or other documents necessary or
appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative
duties hereunder. Conseco Finance Corp. is hereby appointed the Servicer until
such time as any Service Transfer shall be effected under Article VII.
SECTION 5.02. Standard of Care.
----------------
In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the
Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer will exercise that degree of
skill and care consistent with the highest degree of skill and care that the
Servicer exercises with respect to similar contracts serviced by the Servicer;
provided, however, that (i) such degree of skill and care shall be at least as
favorable as the degree of skill and care generally applied by servicers of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts for institutional investors and
(ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not release or waive the
right to collect the unpaid balance on any Contract. The Servicer shall comply
with FHA/VA Regulations in servicing any FHA/VA Contracts (and will pay any
required premiums) so that the related insurance of the Federal Housing
Administration or partial guarantee of the Veterans Administration remains in
full force and effect, except for good faith disputes relating to FHA/VA
Regulations that will not cause the termination or reduction of such insurance
or guarantee.
SECTION 5.03. Records.
-------
The Servicer shall, during the period it is servicer hereunder, maintain
such books of account and other records as will enable the Trustee to determine
the status of each Contract.
SECTION 5.04. Inspection; Computer Tape.
-------------------------
a. At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business hours
to the Servicer's records, which have not previously been provided to the Trust,
relating to the Contracts and will cause its personnel to assist in any
examination of such records by the Trustee or its authorized agents. The
examination referred to in this Section will be conducted in a manner which does
not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's normal operations or customer or
employee relations. Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the
Trustee may make, the Trustee may, using generally accepted audit procedures,
verify the status of each Contract and review the
5-1
Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports
prepared pursuant to Article VI and compliance with the standards represented to
exist as to each Contract in this Agreement.
b. At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available
a copy of the List of Contracts at its principal executive office for inspection
by Certificateholders.
c. On or before the ninth Business Day of each related Due Period, the
Servicer will provide to the Trustee a Computer Tape setting forth a list of all
the outstanding Contracts and the outstanding principal balance of each such
Contract as of the end of the next related Due Period.
SECTION 5.05. Certificate Account.
-------------------
a. On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the
Certificate Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account.
The Certificate Account shall be entitled "U.S. Bank National Association as
Trustee for the benefit of holders of Manufactured Housing Contract Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-6 (Conseco Finance Corp., Servicer)." The Servicer
shall pay into the Certificate Account as promptly as practicable (not later
than the next Business Day) following receipt thereof all payments from Obligors
and Net Liquidation Proceeds, other than late payment penalty fees, extension
fees and assumption fees, which shall be retained by the Servicer as additional
compensation for servicing the Contracts. All amounts paid into the Certificate
Account under this Agreement shall be held in trust for the Trustee and the
Certificateholders until payment of any such amounts is authorized under this
Agreement. Only the Trustee may withdraw funds from the Certificate Account.
b. If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the
Certificate Account shall, in the name of the Trustee in its capacity as such,
invest the amounts in the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments that
mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Remittance
Date. Once such funds are invested, such institution shall not change the
investment of such funds. All income and gain from such investments shall be
added to the Certificate Account and distributed on such Remittance Date
pursuant to Section 8.03(a). An amount equal to any net loss on such
investments shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Class C
Subsidiary Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. The
Servicer and the Trustee shall in no way be liable for losses on amounts
invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Certificate
Account not so invested must be insured to the extent permitted by law by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. "Eligible Investments" are any of the
--------------------
following:
(i) direct obligations of, and obligations fully guaranteed by, the
United States of America, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the
Federal National Mortgage Association, or any agency or instrumentality of
the United States of America the obligations of which are backed by the

noncallable;
(ii) (A) demand and time deposits in, certificates of deposit of,
bankers' acceptances issued by, or federal funds sold by any depository

of America or any State thereof and subject to supervision and examination
by federal and/or state authorities, so long as, at the time of such
investment or contractual commitment providing for such investment, the
commercial paper or other short-term deposits of such depository
institution or trust company (or, in the case of a depository institution
which is the principal subsidiary of a holding company, the commercial
paper or other short-term debt obligations of such holding company) are
rated at least P-1 by Xxxxx'x, at least A-1 by Standard & Poor's and at
least F-1 by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and (B) any other demand or time
deposit or certificate of deposit which is fully insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation;
(iii) shares of an investment company registered under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, whose shares are registered under the Securities Act
of 1933 and have the highest credit rating then available from Xxxxx'x and
Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and are rated AAAm or AAAm-G by Standard & Poor's
and whose only investments are in securities described in clauses (i), (ii)
above and (iv) below;
(iv) repurchase obligations with respect to (A) any security
described in clause (i) above or (B) any other security issued or
guaranteed by an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America,
in either case entered into with a depository institution or trust company
(acting as principal) described in clause (ii)(A) above;
(v) securities bearing interest or sold at a discount issued by any
corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or
any State thereof which have a credit rating of at least Aa2 from Xxxxx'x,
at least AAA by Standard & Poor's and in one of the two highest rating
categories from Fitch (if rated by Fitch) at the time of such investment;
provided, however, that securities issued by any particular corporation
will not be Eligible Investments to the extent that investment therein will
cause the then outstanding principal amount of securities issued by such
corporation and held as part of the corpus of the Trust to exceed 10% of
amounts held in the Certificate Account;
(vi) commercial paper having a rating of at least A-1+ from Standard
& Poor's and at least P-1 from Xxxxx'x (if rated by Xxxxx'x) at the time of
such investment or pledge as a security; and
(vii) other obligations or securities that are acceptable to the
Rating Agencies as an Eligible Investment hereunder and will not reduce the
rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by any of the Rating Agencies
below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such
Certificates as of the Closing Date by such Rating Agency, as evidenced in
writing;
provided that any such investment must constitute a "cash flow investment"
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.
5-3
Notwithstanding the foregoing, securities that represent the right to receive
payments only of interest due on underlying obligations shall not be included as
Eligible Investments, whether or not such securities otherwise fall within (i)
through (vii) above.
The Trustee may trade with itself or an Affiliate in the purchase or sale of
such Eligible Investments.
The Originator, the Servicer and the Seller acknowledge that to the extent
regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory
agency grant the Originator, Seller or Servicer the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Originator, the Seller
and the Servicer specifically waive receipt of such confirmations.
c. If at any time the Trustee receives notice (from Standard & Poor's,
Xxxxx'x, Fitch or the Servicer or otherwise) that the Certificate Account has
ceased to be an Eligible Account, the Trustee must, as soon as practicable but
in no event later than 5 Business Days of the Trustee's receipt of such notice,
transfer the Certificate Account and all funds and Eligible Investments therein
to an Eligible Account. Following any such transfer, the Trustee must notify
each of the Rating Agencies and the Servicer of the location of the Certificate
Account.
SECTION 5.06. Enforcement.
-----------
a. The Servicer shall, consistent with customary servicing procedures and
the terms of this Agreement, act with respect to the Contracts in such manner as
will maximize the receipt of principal and interest on such Contracts and
Liquidation Proceeds with respect to Liquidated Contracts.
b. The Servicer may xxx to enforce or collect upon Contracts, in its own
name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust. If the Servicer elects to
commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Contract, the act of commencement shall
be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Contract to the Servicer for
purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Contract on the ground
that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Contract, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall, at the Servicer's expense,
take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Contract,
including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Certificateholders.
c. The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with the
Servicer's usual practice. In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is
authorized on the Trustee's behalf to reassign the Contract or to resell the
related Manufactured Home to the person against whom recourse exists at the
price set forth in the document creating the recourse.
d. So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, the Servicer may
grant to the Obligor on any Contract any rebate, refund or adjustment out of the
Certificate Account that the Servicer in good faith believes is required because
of prepayment in full of the Contract. The Servicer will not permit any
rescission or cancellation of any Contract.
e. So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, the Servicer may,
consistent with its customary servicing procedures and consistent with Section
5.02, grant to the Obligor on
5-4
any Contract an extension of payments due under such Contract, provided that
Obligors may not be solicited for extensions, no such extension may extend
beyond the final scheduled payment date of the Contract with the latest
maturity, as specified in Section 3.04(c), and no more than one extension of
payments under a Contract may be granted in any twelve-month period.
f. The Servicer may enforce any due-on-sale clause in a Contract if such
enforcement is called for under its then current servicing policies for
obligations similar to the Contracts, provided that such enforcement is
permitted by applicable law and will not adversely affect any applicable
insurance policy. If an assumption of a Contract is permitted by the Servicer
upon conveyance of the related Manufactured Home, the Servicer shall use its
best efforts to obtain an assumption agreement in connection therewith and add
such assumption agreement to the related Contract File or Land-and-Home Contract
File.
g. Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Servicer shall not agree to the modification or waiver of any provision of a
Contract if such modification or waiver would be treated as a taxable exchange
under the REMIC Provisions.
h. In the event that any Contract that was 60 or more days delinquent as
of the Closing Date (each, a "Delinquent Contract") goes into foreclosure, if
acquiring title to the related Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home would
cause the adjusted basis, for federal income tax purposes, of Delinquent
Contracts that are currently in foreclosure or repossession, along with any
other assets owned by the Subsidiary REMIC other than "qualified mortgages",
qualified "foreclosure property" and "permitted investments" within the meaning
of Section 860G of the Code, to exceed 0.75% of the Pool Scheduled Principal
Balance, the Servicer shall not acquire title to that Mortgaged Property or
Manufactured Home on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC. Instead, the Servicer
shall dispose of the Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home for cash in a
foreclosure sale. In addition, if the Servicer determines that the adjusted
basis of Delinquent Contracts that are currently in foreclosure or repossession
on any Remittance Date, along with any other assets owned by the Subsidiary
REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages", "foreclosure property" and "permitted
investments" with the meaning of Section 860G of the Internal Revenue Code,
exceeds 1.0% of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance after giving effect to
prepayments on the Contracts, then prior to such Remittance Date, the Servicer
shall dispose of sufficient Mortgaged Properties and Manufactured Homes securing
Delinquent Contracts and acquired upon foreclosure repossession, for cash, so
that the adjusted basis of Delinquent Contracts that are currently in
foreclosure or repossession, along with any other assets owned by the Subsidiary
REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages", "foreclosure property" and "permitted
investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, will be less than
1.0% of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance. In either event, the Servicer may
acquire, for its own account and not on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC, the
Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home at the foreclosure sale for an amount
not less than the greater of: (i) the highest amount bid by any other person at
the foreclosure sale, or (ii) the estimated fair value of the Mortgaged Property
or Manufactured Home, as determined by the Servicer in good faith.
SECTION 5.07. Trustee to Cooperate.
--------------------
a. Upon payment in full on any Contract, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee and Conseco Finance Corp. (if Conseco Finance Corp. is not the Servicer)
on the next succeeding
5-5
Remittance Date by certification of a Servicing Officer (which certification
shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection
with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account
pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so deposited). The Servicer is authorized to
execute an instrument in satisfaction of such Contract and to do such other acts
and execute such other documents as the Servicer deems necessary to discharge
the Obligor thereunder and eliminate the lien on the related real estate. The
Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been paid in full; to the extent
that insufficient payments are received on a Contract credited by the Servicer
as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall be paid by the
Servicer out of its own funds.
b. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosure in
connection with any Land-and-Home Contract, the Trustee shall, upon written
request of a Servicing Officer and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed
by such Servicing Officer, cause the original Land-and-Home Contract and the
related Land-and-Home Contract File to be released to the Servicer and shall
execute such documents as the Servicer shall deem necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings. The Trustee shall stamp the face of each such Land-
and-Home Contract to be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Land-
and-Home Contract has been assigned to the Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing
Officer, the Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by
the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the
Certificateholders' and Class C Certificateholders' rights and remedies with
respect to Contracts.
c. The Servicer's receipt of a Land-and-Home Contract and/or Land-and-
Home Contract File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Land-and-
Home Contract and the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Trustee when
its need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Contract shall be liquidated or
repurchased or replaced as described in Section 3.06.
SECTION 5.08. Costs and Expenses.
------------------
All costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties
hereunder, including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement of Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts and
repossessions of Manufactured Homes securing such Contracts) shall be paid by
the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement hereunder,
except that the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of
a Liquidated Contract for Liquidation Expenses incurred by it. The Servicer
shall not incur such Liquidation Expenses unless it determines in its good faith
business judgment that incurring such expenses will increase the Net Liquidation
Proceeds on the related Contract.
SECTION 5.09. Maintenance of Insurance.
------------------------
a. Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.09,
the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Contract one or
more Hazard Insurance Policies which provide, at a minimum, the same coverage as
a standard form fire and extended coverage insurance policy that is customary
for manufactured housing, issued by a company authorized to issue such policies
in the state in which the related Manufactured Home is located and in an amount
which is not less than the maximum insurable value of such Manufactured Home or
the principal balance due from the Obligor on the related Contract, whichever is
less; provided,
5-6
however, that the amount of coverage provided by each Hazard Insurance Policy
shall be sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause
contained therein; and provided, further, that such Hazard Insurance Policies
may provide for customary deductible amounts. With respect to: (a) a
Manufactured Home securing an FHA/VA Contract, if such Manufactured Home's
location was, at the time of origination of the related FHA/VA Contract, within
a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer shall also cause
such flood insurance to be maintained, which coverage shall be at least equal to
the minimum amount specified in the preceding sentence or such lesser amount as
may be available under the federal flood insurance program; and (b) any Contract
that is not an FHA/VA Contract, the Originator shall obtain (i) a statement from
the Obligor's insurance agent that the Manufactured Home was, at the time of
origination of the Contract, not in a federally designated special flood hazard
area, or (ii) evidence that, at the time of origination, flood insurance was in
effect, which coverage was at least equal to the minimum amount specified in the
preceding sentence or such lesser amount as may be available under the federal
flood insurance program. Each Hazard Insurance Policy caused to be maintained by
the Servicer shall contain a standard loss payee clause in favor of the Servicer
and its successors and assigns. If any Obligor is in default in the payment of
premiums on its Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies, the Servicer shall pay such
premiums out of its own funds and may separately add such premium to the
Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but shall not add such premium
to the remaining principal balance of the Contract.
b. The Servicer may, in lieu of causing individual Hazard Insurance
Policies to be maintained with respect to each Manufactured Home pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section 5.09, and shall, to the extent that the related
Contract does not require the Obligor to maintain a Hazard Insurance Policy with
respect to the related Manufactured Home, maintain one or more blanket insurance
policies covering losses on the creditor's interest in the Contracts resulting
from the absence or insufficiency of individual Hazard Insurance Policies. Any
such blanket policy shall be substantially in the form and in the amount carried
by the Servicer as of the date of this Agreement. The Servicer shall pay the
premium for such policy on the basis described therein and shall deposit into
the Certificate Account from its own funds any deductible amount with respect to
claims under such blanket insurance policy relating to the Contracts. The
Servicer shall not, however, be required to deposit any deductible amount with
respect to claims under individual Hazard Insurance Policies maintained pursuant
to subsection (a) of this Section. If the insurer under such blanket insurance
policy shall cease to be acceptable to the Servicer, the Servicer shall exercise
its best reasonable efforts to obtain from another insurer a replacement policy
comparable to such policy.
c. With respect to each Manufactured Home that has been repossessed in
connection with a defaulted Contract, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain one
or more Hazard Insurance Policies thereon or (ii) self-insure such Manufactured
Homes and deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds any losses
caused by damage to such Manufactured Home that would have been covered by a
Hazard Insurance Policy.
d. The Servicer shall keep in force throughout the term of this Agreement
(i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure
to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement and (ii) a fidelity bond.
Such policy or policies and such fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
as is generally customary among Persons which service a portfolio of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements
5-7
having an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 or more and which are
generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional investors.
SECTION 5.10. Repossession.
------------
Notwithstanding the standard of care specified in Section 5.02, the
Servicer shall commence procedures for the repossession of any Manufactured Home
or the foreclosure upon any Mortgaged Property or take such other steps that in
the Servicer's reasonable judgment will maximize the receipt of principal and
interest or Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Contract secured by
such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property (which may include retitling or
filing a recorded assignment of the Mortgage) subject to the requirements of the
applicable state and federal law, no later than five Business Days after the
time when such Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract; provided that if the
Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous
waste, then the Servicer shall not cause the Trust to acquire title to such
Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding. For purposes of the
proviso in the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall not be deemed to have
actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous waste unless
it shall have received written notice that hazardous waste is present on such
property and such written notice has been made a part of the Land-and-Home
Contract File with respect to the related Contract. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and
procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be consistent
with Section 5.02. In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is
acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Trustee, as Trustee, or, at its
election, to its nominee on behalf of the Trustee, as Trustee.
SECTION 5.11. Commingling of Funds.
--------------------
So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, any collections in
respect of Contracts collected by Conseco Finance Corp. shall, prior to the
deposit thereof in the Certificate Account, be held in bank accounts entitled
substantially as follows: "[name of depository], as agent for U.S. Bank
National Association as Trustee, other trustees, and Conseco Finance Corp., as
their interests may appear."
SECTION 5.12. Retitling; Security Interests.
-----------------------------
a. If, at any time, a Service Transfer has occurred and Conseco Finance
Corp. is no longer the Servicer and the new Servicer is unable to foreclose upon
a Manufactured Home because the title document for such Manufactured Home does
not show such Servicer or the Trustee as the holder of the first priority
security interest in the Manufactured Home, such Servicer shall take all
necessary steps to apply for a replacement title document showing it or the
Trustee as the secured party.
b. In order to facilitate the Servicer's actions, as described in
subsection (a) of this section, Conseco Finance Corp. will provide the Servicer
with any necessary power of attorney permitting it to retitle the Manufactured
Home.
c. If the Servicer is still unable to retitle the Manufactured Home,
Conseco Finance Corp. will take all actions necessary to act with the Servicer
to foreclose upon the Manufactured
5-8
Home, including, as appropriate, the filing of any UCC-1 or UCC-2 financing
statements necessary to perfect the security interest in any Manufactured Home
that constitutes a fixture under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is
located and all actions necessary to perfect the security interest in any
Manufactured Home that is considered or classified as part of the real estate on
which it is located under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located.
d. The Originator shall (i) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that assignment and recordation of the Mortgages, securing Land-
and-Home Contracts relating to real estate located in any state other than those
states specified in such Opinion of Counsel (the "recordation states"), is not
necessary to effect the assignment to the Trustee of the Originator's lien on
the real property securing such Land-and-Home Contracts, and (ii) file in the
appropriate recording offices within 60 days after the Closing Date (or within
30 days after receipt of the recorded Mortgage, if later) the assignments to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust of the Mortgages securing all Land-and-Home
Contracts secured by Mortgages relating to real estate located in the
recordation states.
SECTION 5.13. Covenants, Representations and Warranties of Servicer. By

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

its inability to, pay its debts as they become due, or shall have taken any
corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing; or
f. The failure of the Servicer to be an Eligible Servicer.
SECTION 7.02. Transfer.
--------
If an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, either the
Trustee or Certificateholders with aggregate Percentage Interests representing
25% or more of the Trust, by notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the
Trustee if given by the Certificateholders) may terminate all (but not less than
all) of the Servicer's management, administrative, servicing and collection
functions (such termination being herein called a "Service Transfer"). On
receipt of
7-1
such notice (or, if later, on a date designated therein), or upon resignation of
the Servicer in accordance with Section 12.01, all authority and power of the
Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Contracts, the
Contract Files, the Land-and-Home Contract Files or otherwise (except with
respect to the Certificate Account, the transfer of which shall be governed by
Section 7.06), shall pass to and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under
this Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Trustee is authorized and
empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact
or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments (including, without
limitation, documents required to make the Trustee or a successor servicer the
sole lienholder or legal title holder of record of each Manufactured Home) and
to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes
of such notice of termination. Each of the Originator and the Servicer agrees to
cooperate with the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities
and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the
transfer to the Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall
at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the
Servicer, in the Certificate Account, or for its own account in connection with
its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Contracts and
the execution of any documents required to make the Trustee or a successor
servicer the sole lienholder or legal title holder of record in respect of each
Manufactured Home. The Servicer shall be entitled to receive any other amounts
which are payable to the Servicer under the Agreement, at the time of the
termination of its activities as Servicer. The Servicer shall transfer to the
new servicer (i) the Servicer's records relating to the Contracts in such
electronic form as the new servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any
Contracts, Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files in the Servicer's
possession.
SECTION 7.03. Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
----------------------------------------
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.02 or the resignation of the Servicer in accordance with
Section 12.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof and the Servicer shall be relieved of such
responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Service Transfer;
provided, however, that (i) the Trustee will not assume any obligations of the
Originator pursuant to Section 3.06 and (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for
any acts or omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such Service Transfer
or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations contained herein or
in any related document or agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation out of the Monthly
Servicing Fee and the Additional Monthly Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the
above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is
legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in
the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Contracts as it and such
successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such monthly compensation
shall, without the written consent of 100% of the Certificateholders,
7-2
exceed the Monthly Servicing Fee and the Additional Monthly Servicing Fee. The
Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this
Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

a. After the Service Transfer, the Trustee or new Servicer may notify
Obligors to make payments directly to the new Servicer that are due under the
Contracts after the effective date of the Service Transfer.

further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing or

receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed
where required for the new Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon
or otherwise in connection with the Contracts.
c. A Service Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the
parties hereunder (including but not limited to the indemnities of the Servicer
and the Originator pursuant to Article X and Sections 3.06, 11.06 and 11.11(f))
other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing or
collection of the Contracts.
SECTION 7.06. Transfer of Certificate Account.
-------------------------------
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.02, if the Certificate Account
shall be maintained with the Servicer and an Event of Termination shall occur
and be continuing, the Servicer shall, after five days' written notice from the
Trustee, or in any event within ten days after the occurrence of the Event of

responsible for disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents.
All such credits and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are
to be made by the Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with
the provisions of the Book Entry Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the

from the Certificate Account pursuant to such clause.

------------------------------------------------------
a. Subject to the conditions in subsection (b) below, the Class C
Subsidiary Certificateholder shall have the option to purchase all of the
Contracts and all property acquired in respect of any Contract remaining in the
Trust at a price (such price being referred to as the "Minimum Purchase Price")
equal to the greater of:
A. the sum of (x) 100% of the principal balance of each Contract (other
than any Contract as to which title to the underlying property has
been acquired and whose fair market value is included pursuant to
clause (y) below), plus (y) the fair market value of such acquired
property (as determined by the Originator as of the close of business
on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of
any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
Section 12.04) or
B. the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Originator as of
the close of business on such third Business Day) of all of the assets
of the Trust,
plus, in either case, any Unpaid Class A Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-
1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-1 Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall,
any Unpaid Class M-2 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-2 Liquidation Loss
Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class B-1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class B-
1 Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and any Unpaid Class B-2 Interest
Shortfall as well as one month's interest at the applicable Contract Rate on the
Scheduled Principal Balance of each Contract (including any Contract as to which
the related Manufactured Home has been repossessed).
b. The purchase by the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder of all of the
Contracts pursuant to Section 8.05(a) above shall be at the option of the Class
C Subsidiary Certificateholder, but shall be conditioned upon (1) the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance, at the time of any such purchase, aggregating not
more than 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, (2) such purchase
being made pursuant to a plan of complete liquidation of each of the Subsidiary
REMIC and the Master REMIC in accordance with Section 860F of the Code, as
provided in Section 12.03, (3) the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder having
provided the Trustee and the Depository (if any) with at least 30 days' written
notice and (4) the Originator or the Servicer (as applicable) shall have
delivered to the Trustee an unqualified Opinion of Counsel stating that payment
of the purchase price to the Certificateholders will not constitute a voidable
preference or fraudulent transfer under the United States Bankruptcy Code. If
such option is exercised, the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder, as
applicable, shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section
12.03, which certificate shall constitute a plan of complete liquidation of each
of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC within the meaning of Section 860F
of the Code, and the Trustee shall promptly sign such certification and release
to the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder, the Contract Files and Land-and-
Home Contract Files pertaining to the Contracts being repurchased.
c. The Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder may assign its rights under
this Section 8.05, separately from its other rights as Holder of the Class C
Subsidiary Certificates, by giving
8-8
written notice of such assignment to the Trustee. Following the Trustee's
receipt of such notice of assignment, the Trustee shall recognize only such
assignee (or its assignee in turn) as the Person entitled to exercise the
purchase option set forth in Section 8.05(a).
d. The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder (whether or not the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder has
then assigned its rights under this Section 8.05 pursuant to subsection (c)) no
later than two Business Days after the Determination Date relating to the first
Due Period which includes the date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
first becomes less than or equal to 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal
Balance, to the effect that the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is then less
than or equal to 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance.
e. If the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder (or its assignee) has not
delivered to the Trustee the notice of exercise of its purchase option described
in subsection (b) by the Remittance Date occurring in the month following the
Determination Date specified in subsection (d), then promptly after the
following Remittance Date the Trustee shall begin a process for soliciting bids
in connection with an auction for the Contracts. The Trustee shall provide the
Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder (or its assignee) written notice of such
auction at least 10 Business Days prior to the date bids must be received in
such auction (the "Auction Date").
If at least two bids are received, the Trustee shall solicit and resolicit
new bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains or the
remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids. The Trustee shall accept the
highest of such remaining bids if it is equal to or in excess of the greater of
(i) the Minimum Purchase Price and (ii) the fair market value of the Contracts
and related property (such amount being referred to as the "Minimum Auction
Price"). If less than two bids are received or the highest bid after the
resolicitation process is completed is not equal to or in excess of the Minimum
Auction Price, the Trustee shall not consummate such sale. If a bid meeting the
Minimum Purchase Price is received, then the Trustee may, and if so requested by
the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder shall, consult with a financial
advisor, which may be an underwriter of the Certificates, to determine if the
fair market value of the Contracts and related property has been offered.
If the first auction conducted by the Trustee does not produce any bid at
least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, then the Trustee shall, beginning on
the Remittance Date occurring approximately three months after the Auction Date
for the failed first auction, commence another auction in accordance with the
requirement of this subsection (e). If such second auction does not produce any
bid at least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, then the Trustee shall,
beginning on the Remittance Date occurring approximately three months after the
Auction Date for the failed second auction, commence another auction in
accordance with the requirements of this subsection (e), and shall continue to
conduct similar auctions approximately every three months thereafter until the
earliest of (i) delivery by the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder or its
assignee of notice of exercise of its purchase option under subsection (a), (ii)
receipt by the Trustee of a bid meeting the conditions specified in the
preceding paragraph, or (iii) the Remittance Date on which the principal balance
of all the Contracts is reduced to zero.
8-9
If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions specified in this
subsection (e), then the Trustee's written acceptance of such bid shall
constitute a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F of
the Code, and the Trustee shall release to the winning bidder, upon payment of
the bid purchase price, the Contract Files pertaining to the Contracts being
purchased.
f. If the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder (or its assignee) has not
delivered to the Trustee the notice of exercise of its purchase option described
in subsection (b) by the Remittance Date occurring in the month following the
Determination Date specified in subsection (d), then on the following Remittance
Date and each Remittance Date thereafter (each, an "Additional Principal Payment
Date") the Class M-1, Class M-2, Class B-1 and Class B-2 Certificates shall be
entitled to receive the Additional Principal Distribution Amount, allocated
among such classes pro rata based upon the outstanding Principal Balance of each
such Class on each such Remittance Date.

On the Remittance Dates occurring in January 2001 and February 2001, if the

including in the Amount Available only payments in respect of interest on the
Contracts) is not sufficient to pay the Class A Interest Distribution Amount,
plus the Class M-1 Interest Distribution Amount, plus the Class M-2 Interest
Distribution Amount, plus the Class B-1 Interest Distribution Amount, the
Trustee shall withdraw the amount of such deficiency, or the amount of funds in
the Capitalized Interest Account (net of any investment earnings thereon), if
less, and shall deposit such funds in the Certificate Account for distribution

deposited in or withdrawn from the Capitalized Interest Account.
SECTION 8.07. Pre-Funding Account.
-------------------
a. On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the Pre-
Funding Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account. The
Pre-Funding Account shall be entitled "Pre-Funding Account, U.S. Bank National
Association as Trustee for the benefit of holders of Certificates, Series 2000-
6." The Trustee shall maintain within the Pre-Funding Account two subaccounts,
the Pre-Funding Subaccount and the Undelivered Contract Subaccount. The

evidencing, as to each such Class, 100% of the interest in distributions
required to made to such Class, and having the original Subsidiary Interest
Principal Balance specified with respect to such Class of Uncertificated

proper officers of the Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such
individuals or any of them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the
execution and delivery of such Certificate or did not hold such offices at the
date of such Certificates. No Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit
under this Agreement, or be valid for any purpose, unless such Certificate has

signature upon any Certificate shall be conclusive
9-1
evidence, and the only evidence, that such Certificate has been duly executed
and delivered hereunder. All Certificates shall be dated the date of their
execution, except for those Certificates executed on the Closing Date, which
shall be dated the Closing Date.
SECTION 9.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates.
-----------------------------------------------------
a. The Trustee shall keep at the office or agency to be maintained in
accordance with Section 12.02 a "Certificate Register" in which the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. The Trustee initially appoints
itself to be the "Certificate Registrar" and transfer agent for the purpose of
registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as provided
herein. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to Certificateholders and
the Servicer of any change in the Certificate Registrar.
b. (1) Subject to clauses (2) and (3) below, no transfer of a Class B-2
Certificate, Class B-3I Certificate, Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C
Master Certificate shall be made by the Originator or any other Person unless
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, as
amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the Act and laws. In the event that any such transfer is to be made, (A) the
Originator may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Originator that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from the Act and laws or is being made pursuant to the Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Originator, and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an
investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto, which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Originator. Any
Class B-2 Certificateholder, Class B-3I Certificateholder, Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder or Class C Master Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Originator
and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.
(2) No transfer of a Class B-2 Certificate, a Class B-3I Certificate,
a Class C Subsidiary Certificate or a Class C Master Certificate or any interest
therein, shall be made to any employee benefit plan, trust or account that is
subject to ERISA, or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code (each,
a "Plan"), or to any person investing on behalf of or with "plan assets" or a
plan unless the prospective transferee of a Certificate or interest therein
provides the Servicer and the Trustee with a certification of facts and, at its
own expense, an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the
Servicer and the Trustee that such transfer will not result in a violation of
Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the Servicer, the
Originator or the Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result in the
imposition of an excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code.
(3) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A)
neither the Class C Subsidiary Certificate nor the Class C Master Certificate,
nor any interest therein, shall be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of to
a "disqualified organization," within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the
Code (a "Disqualified Organization"), including, but not limited to, (i) the
United States, a state or political subdivision thereof, a foreign government,
an
9-2
international organization or an agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, (ii) an organization (other than a cooperative described in Section
521 of the Code) which is exempt from the taxes imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code
and not subject to the tax imposed on unrelated business income by Section 511
of the Code, or (iii) a cooperative described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the
Code, and (B) prior to any registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C Master Certificate,
the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee, under penalties of
perjury, an affidavit that such transferee is not a Disqualified Organization,
with respect to which the Trustee shall have no actual knowledge that such
affidavit is false, and the transferor and the proposed transferee shall each
deliver for the Trustee an affidavit with respect to any other information
reasonably required by the Trustee pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, including,
without limitation, information regarding the transfer of noneconomic residual
interests and transfers of any residual interest to or by a foreign person;
provided, however, that, upon the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of
Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and rendered by
Independent counsel, to the effect that the beneficial ownership of the Class C
Subsidiary Certificate or the Class C Master Certificate, as the case may be, by
any Disqualified Organization will not result in the imposition of federal
income tax upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC or any
Certificateholder or any other person or otherwise adversely affect the status
of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC, the foregoing
prohibition on transfers, sales and other dispositions, as well as the foregoing
requirement to deliver a certificate prior to any registration thereof, shall,
with respect to such Disqualified Organization, terminate. Notwithstanding any
transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or
Class C Master Certificate, or any interest therein, to a Disqualified
Organization or the registration thereof in the Certificate Register, such
transfer, sale or other disposition and any registration thereof, unless
accompanied by the Opinion of Counsel described in the preceding sentence, shall
be deemed to be void and of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such
Disqualified Organization shall be deemed to not be the Class C Subsidiary or
Class C Master Certificateholder, as the case may be, for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on the Class C
Subsidiary Certificate or Class C Master Certificate, and shall be deemed to
have no interest whatsoever in the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C
Master Certificate. Each Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master Certificateholder,
by his acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes to have consented to
the provisions of this Section 9.02(b)(3).
(4) Any transfer, sale or other disposition not in compliance with
the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) shall be deemed to be void and of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such transferee shall be deemed to not be
the Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to,
the receipt of distributions on such Certificate, and shall be deemed to have no
interest whatsoever in such Certificate.
(5) The Trustee shall give notice to Standard & Poor's, Moody's and
Fitch promptly following any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class B-
3I, Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master Certificate.
c. At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate original
denomination, upon surrender of such Certificates to be exchanged at such
office. Whenever any Certificates are so
9-3
surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and deliver the Certificates
which the Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. Every
Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall be duly
endorsed by, or shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form
satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the
holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing.
d. Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, the Book-Entry Certificates
shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and at all times: (i) registration of the Book-Entry Certificates may
not be transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the
Depository shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate
Owners and with respect to ownership and transfers of such Book-Entry
Certificates; (iii) ownership and transfers of registration of the Book-Entry
Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v)
the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect
participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Book-
Entry Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of Holders under this
Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such representatives
shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with respect to
different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully
protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with respect
to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with
respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such
indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.
All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner. Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository's normal procedures.
e. If (x) the Seller or the Depository advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Originator is unable
to locate a qualified successor or (z) the Originator at its sole option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
definitive, fully registered Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates and
Class B Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Class A Certificates,
Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates and Class B Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates. Neither the
Originator nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be
deemed to be imposed upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable
with respect to such Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the
Holders of the Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
9-4
f. On or prior to the Closing Date, there shall be delivered to the
Depository one Class A-1 Certificate, one Class A-2 Certificate, one Class A-3
Certificate, one A-4 Class Certificate, one Class A-5 Certificate, one Class M-1
Certificate, one Class M-2 Certificate, and one Class B-1 Certificate, each in
registered form registered in the name of the Depository's nominee, Cede & Co.,
the total face amount of which represents 100% of the related Original Principal
Balance, respectively. At any time after the Closing Date, the Class B-2
Certificateholders may deliver to the Depository one Class B-2 Certificate,
registered in the name of Cede & Co., the total face amount of which represents
100% of the Original Class B-2 Principal Balance. If, however, the aggregate
principal amount of a Class of Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates or
Class B Certificates exceeds $400,000,000, one such Class A Certificate, Class M
Certificate and/or Class B Certificate will be issued with respect to each
$400,000,000 of principal amount and an additional Certificate of such Class or
Classes will be issued with respect to any remaining principal amount. Each
such Class A, Class M and Class B Certificate registered in the name of the
Depository's nominee shall bear the following legend:
"Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC") to Issuer or its
agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein."
SECTION 9.03. No Charge; Disposition of Void Certificates.
-------------------------------------------
No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any transfer or
exchange of Certificates, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a
sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed
in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates. All Certificates
surrendered for transfer and exchange shall be disposed of in a manner approved
by the Trustee.
SECTION 9.04. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
-------------------------------------------------
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to
the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by each to save it harmless, then in the absence of notice to the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and original denomination. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 9.04, the Trustee may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith. Any
duplicate Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 9.04 shall constitute
complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of
9-5
the Percentage Interest, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate shall be found at any time.
SECTION 9.05. Persons Deemed Owners.
---------------------
Prior to due presentation of a Certificate for registration of transfer,
the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate
Registrar may treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as
the owner of such Certificate for the purpose of receiving remittances pursuant
to Section 8.01 and for all other purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer,
the Seller, the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent or any
agent of the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
Certificate Registrar shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
SECTION 9.06. Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
---------------------------------------------------------
The Certificate Registrar will furnish to the Trustee and the Servicer,
within five days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request
therefor from the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of
the most recent Record Date. If Holders of Certificates evidencing, as to any
Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more (hereinafter referred to as
"Applicants") apply in writing to the Trustee, and such application states that
the Applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders with respect
to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates and is
accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to
the most recent list of Certificateholders held by the Trustee. If such list is
as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants'
request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a
current list as provided above, and shall afford such Applicants access to such
list promptly upon receipt. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Certificate, agrees with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that none of
the Originator, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names
and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.
SECTION 9.07. Authenticating Agents.
---------------------
The Trustee may appoint one or more Authenticating Agents with power to act
on its behalf and subject to its direction in the execution and delivery of the
Certificates. For all purposes of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of
Certificates by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to this Section shall be
deemed to be the execution and delivery of Certificates "by the Trustee."

expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation of any third-party claims (i)
arising out of or resulting from the origination of any Contract (including but
not limited to truth in lending requirements) or the servicing of such Contract
prior to its transfer to the Trust (but only to the extent such cost, expense,
loss, damage, claim or liability is not provided for by the Originator's
repurchase of such Contract pursuant to Section 3.06) or (ii) arising out of or
resulting from the use or ownership of any Manufactured Homes by the Originator
or the Servicer or any Affiliate of either. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this Section shall not
terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII, except that the
obligation of the Originator under this Section shall not relate to the actions
of any subsequent Servicer after a Service Transfer.
SECTION 10.02. Liabilities to Obligors.
-----------------------
No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts is
intended to be assumed by the Trust or the Certificateholders under or as a
result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the
maximum extent permitted and valid under mandatory provisions of law, the Trust
and the Certificateholders expressly disclaim such assumption.
SECTION 10.03. Tax Indemnification.
-------------------
The Originator agrees to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Trust, the Trustee (including the Custodian, the Paying Agent and any other
agents of the Trustee) and the Certificateholders from, any taxes which may at
any time be asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the
Contracts to the Trust, including, without limitation, any sales, gross
receipts, general corporation, personal property, privilege or license taxes
(but not including any federal, state or other taxes arising out of the creation
of the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates), any tax imposed on the Trust
as a result of the Originator's repurchase of any Contract pursuant to Section
3.06(c), and costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against
the same, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the
Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee under this Agreement or
imposed against the Trust, a Certificateholder or otherwise.
SECTION 10.04. Servicer's Indemnities.
----------------------
The Servicer shall defend and indemnify the Trust, the Trustee (including
the Custodian, the Paying Agent and any other agents of the Trustee) and the
Certificateholders against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims
and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses
of litigation, in respect of any action taken or omitted to be
10-1
taken by the Servicer with respect to any Contract. This indemnity shall survive
any Service Transfer (but the original Servicer's obligations under this Section
10.04 shall not relate to any actions of any subsequent Servicer after a Service
Transfer) and any payment of the amount owing under, or any repurchase by the
Originator of, any such Contract.
SECTION 10.05. Operation of Indemnities.
------------------------
Indemnification under this Article shall include, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. If the
Originator or the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Trustee
pursuant to this Article and the Trustee thereafter collects any of such amounts
from others, the Trust will repay such amounts collected to the Originator or
the Servicer, as the case may be, without interest.
SECTION 10.06. REMIC Tax Matters.
-----------------
If Class C Subsidiary Certificateholders or Class C Master
Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 6.06, pay any taxes or charges imposed
upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, as the case may be, as a REMIC or
otherwise, such taxes or charges, except to the extent set forth in the
following proviso, shall be expenses and costs of the Trust and the Class C
Subsidiary Certificateholders or Class C Master Certificateholders shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account as provided in
Section 8.03; provided, however, that any such taxes or charges shall not be
expenses or costs of the Trust, nor will the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholders or Class C Master Certificateholders be entitled to
reimbursement therefor out of the Certificate Account, if and to the extent that
such taxes or charges resulted from a failure by the Originator, the Trustee or
any Servicer to comply with the provisions of Section 2.04.

ARTICLE XI
THE TRUSTEE
-----------
SECTION 11.01. Duties of Trustee.
-----------------
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and after
the curing of all Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to
perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this
Agreement. If an Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured),
the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this
Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a
prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his
own affairs.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform as to form to the requirements of this Agreement.
Subject to Section 11.03, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed
to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
a. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination, and after the
curing of all such Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;
b. The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;
c. The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Certificateholders with aggregate Percentage Interests
representing 25% or more of the Trust relating to the time, method and place of
conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising
any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and
d. The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any event referred
to in Section 7.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Trustee receives
written notice of such event from the Servicer or the Holders of Certificates
evidencing, as to any Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more.
11-1
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer under
this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of,
the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee shall
not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it.
SECTION 11.02. Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
-------------------------------------
Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01:
a. The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of a
Servicing Officer, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or
other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;
b. The Trustee may consult with counsel and any opinion of any counsel
for the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of
Counsel;
c. The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
shall relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Termination (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;
d. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and after the
curing of all Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall
not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates evidencing, as to any
Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more; provided, however, that if
the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or
liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is,
in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the
security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require
reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to
so proceeding. The
11-2
reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or,
if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand; and
e. The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian and shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of
such agents, attorneys or custodians if appointed by it with due care hereunder.
SECTION 11.03. Trustee Not Liable for Certificates or Contracts.
------------------------------------------------
The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals
contained herein or in the Certificates (other than the Trustee's execution
thereof). The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement, of the Certificates (other than its execution
thereof) or of any Contract, Contract File, Land-and-Home Contract File or
related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Servicer, the Originator or the Seller of funds paid to the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, in consideration of conveyance of the
Contracts to the Trust by the Originator and the Seller or deposited into or
withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Servicer.
SECTION 11.04. Rights of Certificateholders to Direct Trustee and to Waive
-----------------------------------------------------------
Event of Termination.
--------------------
Holders of Class A Certificates, Holders of Class M Certificates and
Holders of Class B Certificates evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage
Interests representing 25% or more shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided,
however, that, subject to Section 11.01, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel
determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the
Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the
Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve
it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Certificateholders not parties to such direction; and provided further that
nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any
action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such
direction by the Certificateholders; and provided further that the Trustee shall
instead follow the directions of Holders of Class A Certificates, Holders of
Class M Certificates and Holders of Class B Certificates evidencing, as to each
such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 51% or more whenever it receives
conflicting directions from Class A Certificateholders, Class M
Certificateholders and Class B Certificateholders. Holders of Class A
Certificates, Holders of Class M Certificates and Holders of Class B
Certificates evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage Interests
representing 51% or more may on behalf of Certificateholders waive any past
Event of Termination hereunder and its consequences, except a default in respect
------
of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 12.07 cannot be modified
or amended without the consent of all Certificateholders, and upon any such
waiver, such Event of Termination shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to
have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other Event of Termination or impair any right
consequent thereon. Following the Class M-2 Cross-Over Date, if all
distributions payable to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class M
Certificateholders have either been made or provided
11-3
for in accordance with this Agreement, then the Holders of Class B-1
Certificates may exercise the rights given to the Class A Certificateholders,
the Class M Certificateholders and Class B-1 Certificateholders under this
Section. Following the Class B-1 Cross-Over Date, if all distributions payable
to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class M Certificateholders have either
been made or provided for in accordance with this Agreement, then the Holders of
Class B-2 Certificates may exercise the rights given to the Class A
Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders and Class B-1
Certificateholders under this Section.
SECTION 11.05. The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
-----------------------------------------------
The Servicer agrees:
a. to pay to the Trustee reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
including the services provided in connection with any auctions pursuant to
Section 8.05(e);
b. except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustee, to the extent requested by the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, and reasonable
compensation expenses and disbursements in connection with any auctions pursuant
to Section 8.05(e)), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and
c. to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of this
trust and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.
All such payments by the Servicer shall be made from its own funds. The
covenants in this Section 11.05 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee in its
capacities as Trustee, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar hereunder, and
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
SECTION 11.06. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
------------------------------------
The Trustee hereunder shall at all times be a financial institution

Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to
the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes
of this Section 11.06, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be
deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent
report of condition so published. In
11-4
addition, the Trustee shall at all times have a long-term deposit rating (or, if
the Trustee is a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank holding company system and
not rated, the bank holding company shall have a long-term senior unsecured debt
rating) from Standard & Poor's of at least BBB, or as shall be otherwise
acceptable to Standard & Poor's, and a rating from Xxxxx'x (if rated by Xxxxx'x)
of at least Baa3, or as shall be otherwise acceptable to Xxxxx'x and Fitch. In

SECTION 11.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.

The Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Servicer and the Originator. A
copy of any such notice shall be sent to Standard & Poor's, Xxxxx'x and Fitch.
Upon receiving such notice of resignation, the Originator shall promptly appoint
a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which
instrument shall be delivered to each of the Servicer and the Originator and one
copy to the successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so
appointed and shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of
such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Originator, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally
unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Originator may
remove the Trustee. If the Originator shall have removed the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Originator shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor Trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided
in Section 11.08.
SECTION 11.08. Successor Trustee.
-----------------
Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer, the Originator and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The
predecessor Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the successor
Trustee the Contracts, Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files and any
related documents and statements held by it hereunder; and, if the Land-and-Home
Contract Files are then held by a custodian
11-5
pursuant to a custodial agreement, the predecessor Trustee and the custodian
shall amend such custodial agreement to make the successor Trustee the successor
to the predecessor Trustee thereunder; and the Servicer, the Originator and the
predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and
confirming in the successor Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section 11.08, the Servicer shall cause notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to be mailed to each Certificateholder at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
SECTION 11.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
----------------------------------
Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 11.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Trustee shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, Xxxxx'x
and Fitch in the event it is a party to any merger, conversion or consolidation.
SECTION 11.10. Tax Returns.
-----------
Upon the Servicer's request, the Trustee will furnish the Servicer with all
such information as the Servicer may reasonably require in connection with
preparing all tax returns of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC and the
Trustee shall execute such returns.
SECTION 11.11. Obligor Claims.
--------------
In connection with any offset defenses, or affirmative claims for recovery,
asserted in legal actions brought by Obligors under one or more Contracts based
upon provisions therein complying with, or upon other rights or remedies arising
from, any legal requirements applicable to the Contracts, including, without

individual capacity, as trustee hereunder or otherwise, a creditor, or a joint
venturer with or an Affiliate of, or acting in concert or cooperation with, any

Obligors any affirmative claims asserted thereby, or responsible to
Certificateholders for any offset defense amounts applied against Contract

f. The Originator hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the Trustee, Certificateholders from and against any and all liability, loss,
costs and expenses of the Trustee, Certificateholders resulting from any
affirmative claims for recovery asserted or collected by Obligors under the
Contracts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
obligation of the Originator under this Section 11.11(f) shall not terminate
upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII.
SECTION 11.12. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
---------------------------------------------
The Servicer shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more
persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee,
or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of conforming to any
legal requirement, restriction or condition (i) with respect to the holding of
the Contracts, the Contract Files and the Land-and-Home Contract Files or (ii)
with respect to the enforcement of a Contract in any state in which a
Manufactured Home is located or in any state in which any portion of the Trust
is located. The separate trustees, co-trustees, or custodians so appointed
shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of all Certificateholders and
shall, subject to the provisions of the following paragraph, have such powers,
rights and remedies as shall be specified in the instrument of appointment;
provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or shall be deemed to,
constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee.
Every separate trustee, co-trustee and custodian shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:
(A) all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of monies shall be
exercised solely by the Trustee;
(B) all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee, to the extent also imposed upon such separate
trustees, co-trustees or custodians, shall be conferred or imposed upon and
exercised or performed by the
11-7
Trustee and such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian jointly, except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any
particular act or acts are to be performed, the Trustee shall be
incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such
rights, powers, duties and obligations (including holding of the Trust or
any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and
performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or custodian;
(C) no separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder; and
(D) the Servicer may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it.
If any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties,
rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to
the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee or custodian. The reasonable fees and expenses of any such separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall be treated as additional fees and
expenses of the Trustee subject to Section 11.05 and payable by the Servicer if
and only to the extent the Servicer shall have consented in writing to his or
its appointment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
SECTION 11.13. Agents of Trustee.
-----------------
To the extent not prohibited by law and not inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 11.12), the Trustee may,
with the prior consent of the Servicer, appoint one or more agents to carry out
ministerial matters on behalf of the Trustee under this Agreement.

SECTION 12.01. Servicer Not to Assign Duties or Resign; Delegation of
------------------------------------------------------
Servicing Functions.
-------------------
The Servicer may not sell or assign its rights and duties as Servicer
hereunder, except as expressly provided for herein, provided that the Servicer
may pledge or assign the right to receive all or any portion of the Monthly
Servicing Fee payable to it. The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations
and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that the performance
of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under applicable law or is in
material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried
on by it. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer
shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for the Servicer to such effect
addressed and delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become
effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Sections
7.02 and 7.03.
Notwithstanding the foregoing:
a. Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated, or
any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which
the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, without the
execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the
parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding; provided,
however, that the successor or surviving Person to the Servicer shall satisfy
the criteria set forth in the definition of an Eligible Servicer. The Servicer
shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, Xxxxx'x and Fitch of any such merger to
which it is a party.
b. Any Person acquiring all or substantially all of the manufactured
housing division of Conseco Finance Corp., who assumes all of the obligations of
the Servicer hereunder and who satisfies the criteria set forth in the
definition of "Eligible Servicer," shall become the Servicer hereunder. The
Servicer shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, Xxxxx'x and Fitch of any such
acquisition.
c. Conseco Finance Corp., if it is the Servicer, may delegate some or all
of its servicing duties to a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp.,
for so long as said subsidiary remains, directly or indirectly, a wholly owned
subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp. Notwithstanding any such delegation,
Conseco Finance Corp. shall retain all of the rights and obligations of the
Servicer hereunder.
SECTION 12.02. Maintenance of Office or Agency.
-------------------------------
The Trustee will maintain in St. Xxxx, Minnesota, an office or agency where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange and
where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates
and this Agreement may be served. On the date hereof the Trustee's office for
such purposes is located at 000 Xxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xx. Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000
Attention: Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx-Xxxx. The Trustee will give prompt written notice
12-1
to Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register
or any such office or agency.
SECTION 12.03. Termination.
-----------
a. This Agreement shall terminate (after distribution of all amounts due
to Certificateholders pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.03) on the earlier of (a)
the Remittance Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is reduced to
zero and all amounts payable to Certificateholders on such Remittance Date have
been distributed to Certificateholders or (b) the Remittance Date on which the
Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder purchases the Contracts pursuant to Section
8.05; provided, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond
the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late Ambassador of the United States to
the Court of St. Xxxxx, living on the date hereof; and provided further, that
the Servicer's and the Originator's representations and warranties and
indemnities by the Originator and the Servicer shall survive termination.
b. Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Remittance Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Remittance Date) upon which all
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee (upon direction by the Originator ten days prior to the date such notice
is to be mailed) by letter to Standard & Poor's, Fitch, Xxxxx'x and the
Certificateholders mailed no later than the fifth Business Day of the month of
the Final Remittance Date specifying (1) the Final Remittance Date upon which
final payment on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender
of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein designated; (2)
the amount of any such final payment; and (3) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Remittance Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of
the Trustee therein specified. Any notice of purchase of Contracts by the
Originator or the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 shall constitute the
adoption by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders of a plan of
complete liquidation of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC within the
meaning of Section 860F of the Code on the date such notice is given when signed
by the Trustee. Each such notice shall, to the extent required by the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable law, be signed on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC
and the Master REMIC by the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the
Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to the
Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with the
sale of the Contracts pursuant to Section 8.05, the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder or the Trustee, as applicable, shall deposit in the
Certificate Account on the Final Remittance Date in immediately available funds
an amount equal to the above-described purchase price and upon such deposit
Certificateholders will be entitled to the amount of such purchase price but not
amounts in excess thereof, all as provided herein. Upon certification to the
Trustee by a Servicing Officer, following such final deposit the Trustee shall
promptly release to the purchaser of the Contracts pursuant to Section 8.05 the
Contract Files for the remaining Contracts, and the Trustee shall execute all
assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such
transfer.
c. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed from the Certificate Account, in the following order of
priority, to Certificateholders
12-2
on the Final Remittance Date in proportion to their respective Percentage
Interests an amount equal to (i) as to Class A Certificates, the Class A
Principal Balance, together with any Unpaid Class A Interest Shortfall and one
month's interest at the related Remittance Rate on the related Class,
respectively (calculated in the manner specified in Section 1.03), (ii) as to
Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-1 Principal Balance together with any Unpaid
Class M-1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-1 Liquidation Loss Interest
Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class M-1 Remittance Rate on the Class
M-1 Principal Balance, (iii) as to Class M-2 Certificates, the Class M-2
Principal Balance together with any Unpaid Class M-2 Interest Shortfall, any
Unpaid Class M-2 Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at
the Class M-2 Remittance Rate on the Class M-2 Principal Balance, (iv) as to
Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-1 Principal Balance together with any Unpaid
Class B-1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class B-1 Liquidation Loss Interest
Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class B-1 Remittance Rate on the Class
B-1 Principal Balance, (v) as to Class B-2 Certificates, the Class B-2 Principal
Balance together with any Unpaid Class B-2 Interest Shortfall and one month's
interest at the Class B-2 Remittance Rate on the Class B-2 Principal Balance,
(vi) as to Class B-3I Certificates, any Unpaid Class B-3I Shortfall, and (vii)
as to Class C Master Certificates, the amount which remains on deposit in the
Certificate Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims) after
application pursuant to clauses (i)-(vi) above. The distribution on the Final
Remittance Date shall be in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be
made on such Remittance Date in respect of each Class of Certificates.
d. In the event that all of the Certificateholders do not surrender their
Certificates for cancellation within three months after the time specified in
the above-mentioned written notice, the Originator shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
three months after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Originator shall transfer to itself all
amounts remaining on deposit in the Certificate Account, to hold in trust for
Certificateholders who have not surrendered their Certificates for cancellation,
together with the final record list of Certificateholders, and the Originator
shall take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps,
to contact the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their
Certificates, and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other
assets which remain in trust hereunder.
e. Each Certificateholder hereby irrevocably approves and appoints the
Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes of adoption of the plan of
complete liquidation.
SECTION 12.04. Acts of Certificateholders.
--------------------------
a. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever
Certificateholder approval, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver or
other action is required hereunder, such approval, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be deemed to have been given or
taken on behalf of, and shall be binding upon, all Certificateholders if agreed
to by Holders of Certificates of the specified Class or Classes evidencing, as
to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 51% or more.
b. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders may be embodied
12-3
in and evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor
signed by such Certificateholders in person or by agent duly appointed in
writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly provided, such action shall
become effective when such instrument or instruments are delivered to the
Trustee and, where required, to the Servicer. Proof of execution of any such
instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall be sufficient for any
purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 11.01) conclusive in favor of
the Trustee, the Servicer and the Originator if made in the manner provided in
this Section.
c. The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.
d. The ownership of Certificates shall be proved by the Certificate
Register.
e. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other act by a Certificateholder shall bind every holder of every Certificate
issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in
lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done by the Trustee,
the Servicer or the Originator in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Security.
f. The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred
to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.
SECTION 12.05. Calculations.
------------
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all interest rate and basis
point calculations under this Agreement will be made on the basis of a 360-day
year and twelve 30-day months and will be carried out to at least three decimal
places.
SECTION 12.06. Assignment or Delegation by Originator.
--------------------------------------
Except as specifically authorized hereunder, and except for its obligations
as Servicer which are dealt with under Article V and Article VII, the Originator
may not convey and assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder
absent the prior written consent of Holders of Certificates of each Class
evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66 2/3% or
more, and any attempt to do so without such consent shall be void. It is
understood that the foregoing does not prohibit the pledge or assignment by the
Originator of any right to payment pursuant to Article VIII.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person into which the Originator may be
merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Originator shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Originator, shall be the successor of the
Originator hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Originator shall promptly notify Standard &
Poor's, Xxxxx'x and Fitch of any such merger to which it is a party.
12-4
SECTION 12.07. Amendment.
---------
a. This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Originator, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to correct manifest error, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, as
the case may be, to make such changes as are necessary to maintain the status of
each of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC as a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit" under the REMIC Provisions of the Code or to otherwise
effectuate the benefits of such status to the Subsidiary REMIC, the Master REMIC
and the Certificateholders, including, without limitation, to implement any
provision permitted by law that would enable a REMIC to avoid the imposition of
any tax, to add or amend any provision as required by Standard & Poor's,
Xxxxx'x, Fitch or any other nationally recognized statistical rating
organization in order to improve or maintain the rating of any Class of Class A
Certificates, Class M Certificates or Class B Certificates, or to make any other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement
that shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,
however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for
the Originator, adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any
Certificateholder.
b. This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Servicer,
the Originator and the Trustee, with the consent of Holders of Certificates of
each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating 51% or more, for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions
which are required to be made on any Certificate, (b) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
holders of all Certificates then outstanding, (c) result in the disqualification
of either the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC under the Code,
(d) adversely affect the status of either the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master
REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Regular Certificates as "regular
interests" in the Master REMIC or (e) cause any tax (other than any tax imposed
on "net income from foreclosure property" under Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code
that would be imposed without regard to such amendment) to be imposed on the
Trust, including, without limitation, any tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code. This Agreement may not
be amended without the consent of all Class C Certificateholders, for the
purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any
of the provisions of this Agreement which would modify in any manner the rights
of the Class C Certificateholders.
c. This Agreement shall not be amended under this Section without the
consent of 100% of Certificateholders if such amendment would result in the
disqualification of either Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC under
the Code.
d. Concurrently with the solicitation of any consent pursuant to this
Section 12.07, the Trustee shall furnish written notification to Standard &
Poor's, Moody's and Fitch of such solicitation. Promptly after the execution of
any amendment pursuant to this Section 12.07, the
12-5
Trustee shall furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to
Fitch, Moody's and each Certificateholder.
e. It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 12.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.
f. The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.
g. In connection with any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive an unqualified Opinion of Counsel to the Servicer
to the effect that such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Agreement.
h. In the absence of the consent described in subsection (c) of this
Section, in connection with any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall have received an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, the expense of which
shall not be an expense of the Trust, stating that any such amendment (i) will
not adversely affect the status of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a
REMIC or the status of the Regular Certificates as "regular interests" in the
Master REMIC, and (ii) will not cause any tax (other than any tax imposed on
"net income from foreclosure property" under Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code that
would be imposed without regard to such amendment) to be imposed on the Trust,
including, without limitation, any tax imposed on "prohibited transactions"
under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup
date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code.
i. Upon the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this
Section 12.07, this Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith, and
such amendment or consent shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes,
and every Certificateholder hereunder shall be bound thereby.

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

Corp. under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act is available to it.
1. The Purchaser understands that the Certificates have not been and will
not be registered under the 1933 Act and may be resold (which resale is not
currently contemplated) only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the

4. The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates as principal for its own
account (or for the account of one or more other institutional investors for
which it is acting as duly authorized fiduciary or agent) for the purpose of

distribution thereof, subject nevertheless to any requirement of law that the
disposition of the Purchaser's property shall at all times be and remain within
its control.
5. The Purchaser does not qualify as (i) an employee benefit plan (a

the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (also a "Plan"), or (iii) an entity whose
underlying assets are deemed to be assets of a Plan by reason of such Plan's
investment in the entity (as determined under Department of Labor Regulations,
29 C.F.R. (S)2510.3-101 (1990)).
6. The Purchaser understands that such Certificate will bear a legend
substantially as set forth in the form of Certificate included in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.
7. The Purchaser, as holder of the Class [B-2/B-3I/C Subsidiary/C Master]
