     (a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Seller
hereby irrevocably and unconditionally transfers, assigns, sets over and
otherwise conveys to the Trust by execution of an Assignment substantially in
the form of Exhibit A hereto all right, title and interest of the Seller in and
to

     (i)  the Contracts (including, without limitation, the Collateral
          Security), and all moneys payable thereon or in respect to the
          Contracts, including any liquidation proceeds therefrom but excluding
          payments due on the Contracts on or prior to the Cutoff Date,

     (ii) the Insurance Policies on any Products securing a Contract for the
          benefit of the creditor of such Initial Contract and all blanket

loans from the Certificateholders and/or the Noteholders, if such conveyances

Noteholders or any other Persons (the "Secured Obligations"), the parties intend

and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Trust, and the

interest in the items designated in Section 2.01(a)(i) through 2.01(a)(vi)

          (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 Product securing the Contract is covered
     by an Insurance Policy to the extent (if any) required by Section 5.09. All

     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 or an interest therein pursuant to the Transfer Agreement
     or this Agreement, or pursuant to transfers of the Securities, 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 Owner Trustee's inspection, and shall deliver
     to the Owner 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

     enforceable perfected first priority security interest in favor of 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, the Originator had good and
     marketable title thereto free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
     contract, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and was the sole owner
     thereof with full right to transfer the Contract to the Seller. No
     financing statement describing or referring to any Contract (other than any
     financing statement naming the Seller as secured party, or filed by the
     Originator as secured party to perfect its interest in a Contract purchased
     from a dealer) is on file in any public office.

          (n) No Defaults. 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, the related Product
     is, to the best of the Originator's knowledge, free of damage and in good
     repair.

          (o) No Liens. 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 Product securing the Contract which are or may be liens prior
     to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Contract.

          (p) Equal Installments. Each Contract has a fixed Contract Rate and
     provides for substantially level monthly payments which fully amortize the
     contract over its term.

          (q) Enforceability. The Contract contains customary and enforceable
     provisions so as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof
     adequate for the realization against the collateral of the benefits of the
     security provided thereby.

          (r) One Original. There is only one original executed Contract (other
     than an original in the possession of the relevant Obligor), which Contract
     has been delivered to the Trust or its custodian on or before the Closing
     Date. Each Contract has been stamped to reflect the assignment of such
     Contract to the Trust.

          (s) Notation of Security Interest. With respect to each Contract, if
     the related Product is located in a state in which notation of a security
     interest on the title document is required or


                                       34

<PAGE>

     permitted to perfect such security interest, the title document shows, or
     if a new or replacement title document with respect to such Product is
     being applied for such title document will be issued within 180 days and
     will show, the Originator as the holder of a first priority security
     interest in such Product; if the related Product is located in a state in
     which the filing of a financing statement under the UCC is required to
     perfect a security interest of the type granted by the Contract in goods of
     the type including the Product, such filings or recordings have been duly
     made and show the Originator as secured party. In any case, the Trust 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 Originator and any trustee in bankruptcy of the Originator) claiming an
     interest in such Product.

          (t) No Government Contracts. No Obligor is the United States
     government or an agency, authority, instrumentality or other political
     subdivision of the United States government.

     SECTION 3.03 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contracts in the
Aggregate.

     (a) Amounts. The aggregate principal amounts payable by Obligors under the
Contracts as of the Cutoff Date equal the Cutoff Date Pool Principal Balance.

     (b) Characteristics. The Contracts have the following characteristics as of
the Cutoff Date:

     (i)  a remaining maturity of at least 1 month, but not more than 281
          months;

     (ii) an original maturity of at least 18 months, but not more than 300
          months;

     (iii) an original principal balance of at least $1,934.64 and not more than
          $429,275.84;

     (iv) a remaining principal balance of at least $1,000.15 and not more than
          $420,715.29; and

     (v)  a contractual rate of interest of at least 4.24% and not more than
          24.99%.

     (c) Computer Tape. The Computer Tape made available by the Originator was
complete and accurate as of its date and includes a description of the same
Contracts that are described in the List of Contracts.

     (d) Marking Records. By the Closing Date, the Originator has caused the
portions of the Electronic Ledger relating to the Contracts to be clearly and
unambiguously marked to indicate that such Contracts constitute part of the
Trust and are owned by the Trust in accordance with the terms of the trust
created hereunder.

     (e) No Adverse Selection. Except for the effect of the representations and
warranties made in Sections 3.02 and 3.03 hereof, no adverse selection
procedures have been employed in selecting the Contracts.


                                       35

<PAGE>

     SECTION 3.04 Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contract Files.

     (a) Possession. Immediately prior to the Closing Date, the Originator will
have possession of each original Contract and the related 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,
any delivery required hereunder.

     (b) Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Contracts and the Contract Files by the Originator pursuant to the Transfer
Agreement, and by Seller pursuant to this Agreement is not subject to the bulk
transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any applicable
jurisdiction.

     SECTION 3.05 Repurchase of Contracts for Breach of Representations and
Warranties.

     (a) The Originator shall repurchase a Contract, at its Repurchase Price,
not later than the last day of the Monthly Period prior to the Monthly Period
that is 90 days after the day on which the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee first discovers, or the Originator or
the Servicer should have discovered, a breach of a representation or warranty of
the Originator set forth in Sections 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04 of this Agreement or the
Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(i) that materially
adversely affects the interest of the Trust or the Securityholders 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 a
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, deposit in the Collection 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 accounted for 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.

     (b) Upon receipt by the Trust by deposit in the Collection Account of the
Repurchase Price under subsection (a) above, and upon receipt of a certificate
of a Servicing Officer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, the Indenture
Trustee shall release its security interest in such Contract and the Owner
Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall convey and assign to the Originator all of
the Securityholders' right, title and interest in the repurchased 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
Trust.

     (c) The Originator shall defend and indemnify the Owner Trustee, the Trust,
the Indenture Trustee, and the Securityholders 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


                                       36

<PAGE>

arising out of any breach of any representation set forth in the Officer's
Certificate delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(i) or Section 3.02, 3.03 or 3.04
of this Agreement.

     SECTION 3.06 Covenants Regarding the Seller and Class C Certificateholder.

     With respect to the Seller and, for so long as GTFC-2 is the Class C
Certificateholder, with respect to GTFC-2, the Originator covenants that:

          (a) it will at all times hold out to the public, including the
     respective creditors of the Originator, the Seller and GTFC-2, that it is a
     separate entity from the others. The Originator, the Seller and GTFC-2 will
     not share a common logo. The Originator will not hold out or consider the
     Seller or GTFC-2 as a department or division of the Originator.

          (b) Other than the payment of certain of the organizational expenses
     of the Seller and GTFC-2 by the Originator, each of the Seller and GTFC-2
     will be responsible for the payment of all its losses, obligations and
     expenses, and it will be adequately capitalized to conduct its business.

          (c) All transactions and dealings between the Originator and the
     Seller or GTFC-2 will be on such terms and conditions as would be generally
     available to entities unaffiliated with the Originator in comparable
     transactions. All such transactions have been and will be made only with
     prior approval of the Seller's or GTFC-2's (as applicable) Board of
     Directors, at arm's length, in good faith, and without the intent to
     hinder, delay or defraud creditors of either entity, and transfers between
     the Originator, the Seller or GTFC-2 will not be made if the party making
     the transfer is insolvent or would be rendered insolvent by the transfer.

          (d) Following the formation of the Trust, the Originator will disclose
     all material transactions associated with the transaction in communications
     to its shareholders and in public announcements which will disclose the
     separate corporate identity of the Seller and GTFC-2 and that the assets of
     the Seller and GTFC-2 will not be available for payment of creditors'
     claims in the event of the insolvency of the Originator.

          (e) Each of the Seller and GTFC-2 will comport itself in a manner
     consistent with the factual assumptions contained in the "nonconsolidation
     opinions" of Dorsey & Whitney LLP dated October 31, 2001 rendered in
     connection with the issuance of the Notes.

     SECTION 3.07 Certain Representations and Warranties Regarding Perfection of
the Contracts.

     (a) This Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as
defined in the MN UCC) in the Contracts in favor of the Trust, which security
interest is prior to all other liens, and is enforceable as such as against
creditors of and purchasers from Seller.


                                       37

<PAGE>

     (b) Seller has taken all steps necessary to perfect its security interest
against the Originator in the property securing the Contracts.

     (c) Each Contract constitutes "tangible chattel paper" within the meaning
of the MN UCC.

     (d) The Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Contracts free
and clear of any lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

     (e) The Seller has caused or will have caused, within ten days, the filing
of all appropriate financing statements in the proper filing office in the
appropriate jurisdictions under applicable law in order to perfect the security
interest in the Contracts granted to the Trust hereunder.

     (f) Other than the security interest granted to the Trust pursuant to this
Agreement, the Seller has not pledged, assigned, sold, granted a security
interest in, or otherwise conveyed any of the Contracts. The Seller has not
authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against
the Seller that include a description of collateral covering the Contracts other
than any financing statement relating to the security interest granted to the
Trust hereunder or that has been terminated. The Seller is not aware of any
judgment or tax lien filings against the Seller.

     (g) The Seller or its agent has in its possession all original copies of
the Contract Files that constitute or evidence the Contracts. The Contract Files
that constitute or evidence the Contracts do not have any marks or notations
indicating that they have been pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any
Person other than the Trust. All financing statements filed or to be filed
against Seller in favor of the Trust in connection herewith describing the
Contracts contain a statement to the following effect: "A purchase of or
security interest in any collateral described in this financing statement will
violate the rights of the Trust."


                                   ARTICLE IV

                           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 Trust appoints
the Servicer to maintain custody of the Contract Files for the benefit of the
Trust and the Servicer shall maintain custody of the Contract Files for the
benefit of the Trust and shall act as custodian therefor.

     (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 Trust 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.


                                       38

<PAGE>

     (c) As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers
and duties:

     (i)  hold the Contract Files on behalf of the Trust, Indenture Trustee and
          the Securityholders, 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 Trust and the Indenture 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 Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the
          Securityholders.

     (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 Trust and the Indenture 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 Trust,
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and the Securityholders 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 them as
the result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the maintenance
and custody of the Contract Files; provided, however, that the Servicer will not
be liable for any portion of any such amount resulting from the negligence or
willful misconduct of any indemnified party.

     SECTION 4.02 Filings.

     On or prior to the Closing Date, the Seller shall cause the UCC-1 financing
statement referred to in Section 2.02(e)(ii) to be filed. The Servicer on behalf
of the Trust shall cause to be filed all necessary continuation statements of
such 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 Securityholders' interests in the Contracts and their
proceeds and the Products 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 first priority perfected security interest of the
Trust in each Product so long as the related Contract is property of the Trust.


                                       39

<PAGE>

     SECTION 4.03 Name Change or Relocation.

     (a) During the term of this Agreement, the Seller shall not change its
name, identity, jurisdiction of organization, or structure or relocate its chief
executive office without first giving notice thereof to the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee and the Servicer. In addition, following any such change in
the name, identity, jurisdiction of organization, structure or location of the
chief executive office of the Seller, the Seller shall given written notice of
any such change to Standard & Poor's and Moody's.

     (b) If any change in the Seller's name, identity, jurisdiction of
organization, 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 the security interest evidenced by
any such financing or continuation statement or notice of lien to become
unperfected (whether immediately or with lapse of time), the Seller, 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 Securityholders' interests in the Contracts,
including the Collateral Security and all proceeds thereof.

     SECTION 4.04 Jurisdiction of Organization.

     During the term of this Agreement, the Seller will maintain as its
jurisdiction of organization in one of the States of the United States, except
Tennessee.

     SECTION 4.05 Costs and Expenses.

     The Servicer agrees to pay all reasonable costs and disbursements in
connection with the perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against all
third parties, of the Securityholders' right, title and interest in and to the
Contracts, including the Collateral Security and all proceeds thereof.


                                   ARTICLE V

                             SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

     SECTION 5.01 Responsibility for Contract Administration.

     The Servicer will have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service
and make collections on the Contracts and perform or cause to be performed all
contractual and customary undertakings of the holder of the Contracts to the
Obligor. The Servicer may delegate duties under this Agreement to any of the
Servicer's Affiliates. In addition, the Servicer may at any time perform the
specific duty of repossessing Products through subcontractors who are in the
business of servicing consumer receivables. The Servicer may also perform other
specific duties through subcontractors; provided that the Servicer gives notice
to each of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, Standard & Poor's and Moody's of
the use of any such subcontractors; and provided further that no such delegation
of duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility with
respect thereto. The Owner Trustee, on behalf of the Trust and at the request of
a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of attorney or
other documents


                                       40

<PAGE>

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 notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not
release or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance on any Contract.

     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 Trust and the
Indenture 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
Trust and Indenture Trustee and their authorized agents reasonable access during
normal business hours to the Servicer's records relating to the Contracts and
will cause its personnel to assist in any examination of such records by the
Trust and Indenture Trustee or their 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 Trust and
Indenture Trustee may make, the Trust and Indenture Trustee may, using generally
accepted audit procedures, verify the status of each Contract and review the
Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports
prepared pursuant to Section 5.14 and compliance with the standards represented
to exist as to each Contract in this Agreement.

     The Servicer shall provide to any Securityholder such access to the records
relating to the Contracts only in such cases where the Servicer is required by
applicable statutes or regulations, whether applicable to the Servicer or to
such Securityholder, to permit Securityholder to review such documentation. In
each case, such access shall be afforded without charge but only upon reasonable
request and during normal business hours. Nothing in this Section shall derogate
from the obligation of the Servicer to observe any applicable law prohibiting
disclosure of information regarding the Obligors, and the failure of the
Servicer to provide access as provided in this Section as a result of such
obligation shall not constitute a breach of this Section. Any Securityholder, by
its acceptance of a Certificate or Note (or by acquisition of its beneficial
interest therein), as applicable, shall be deemed to have agreed to keep
confidential and not to use for its own benefit any information obtained by it
pursuant to this Section, except as may be required by applicable law.

     (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 the Trust and the Indenture Trustee.


                                       41

<PAGE>

     (c) On or before the ninth Business Day of each month, the Servicer will
provide to the Indenture 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 preceding Monthly Period.

     SECTION 5.05 Collections.

     (a) The Servicer shall pay into the Collection Account: (i) 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, and any
payments that were due prior to the Cutoff Date, which shall be remitted to the
Originator); and (ii) on the Business Day immediately prior to each Distribution
Date, all Servicer Advances required to be made with respect to such
Distribution Date pursuant to Section 5.13.

     (b) If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the Collection
Account shall, in the name of the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such,
invest the amounts in the Collection Account in Eligible Investments that mature
not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Distribution 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
Collection Account and distributed on such Distribution Date pursuant to Section
6.04(a). The Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall in no way be liable for
losses on amounts invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. The
Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount equal to any net loss
on such investments immediately as realized. Funds in the Collection Account not
so invested must be insured to the extent permitted by law by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation.

     SECTION 5.06 Enforcement.

     (a) The Servicer shall exercise its discretion, consistent with customary
servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement with respect to the
enforcement of defaulted Contracts in such manner as will maximize the receipt
of principal and interest with respect thereto, including but not limited to the
sale of such Contracts to a third party, the modification of such Contracts, or
foreclosure upon the related Product and disposition thereof.

     (b) The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon Contracts, in its own
name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust. If the Servicer elects to commence
a legal proceeding to enforce a Contract, the act of commencement shall be
deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Contract to the Servicer for
purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Contract on the ground
that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Contract, the Owner 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
Securityholders.


                                       42

<PAGE>

     (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. Without limitation of the foregoing, in exercising
recourse rights, the Servicer is authorized on behalf of the Trust to reassign
the Contract or to resell the related Product to the person against whom
recourse exists at the price set forth in the document creating the recourse.

     (d) So long as the Originator is the Servicer, the Servicer may grant to
the Obligor on any Contract any rebate, refund or adjustment out of the
Collection Account that the Servicer in good faith believes is required because
of prepayment in full of the Contract. The Servicer will not permit any
rescission or cancellation of any Contract.

     (e) So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, the Servicer may,
consistent with its customary servicing procedures and consistent with Section
5.02, grant to the Obligor on any Contract an extension of payments due under
such Contract, provided that Obligors may not be solicited for extensions and no
more than one extension of payments under a Contract may be granted in any
twelve-month period, and provided further, that no Contract may be granted an
extension more than a total of three times during the life of such Contract. The
Servicer may not permit the extension of any payment beyond the last scheduled
maturity date of any Contract as of the applicable Cutoff Date.

     (f) The Servicer shall 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 Product the Servicer shall use its best efforts
to obtain an assumption agreement in connection therewith.

     (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, when aggregated with all previous
modifications or waivers of the provisions of Contracts, would cause any Notes
to be treated as having been exchanged for other Notes in a taxable exchange
under Section 1001 of the Code or any proposed, temporary or final Treasury
Regulations issued thereunder.

     SECTION 5.07 Satisfaction of Contracts.

     Upon payment in full on any Contract, the Servicer will notify the Trust,
the Indenture Trustee, and the Originator (if the Originator is not the
Servicer) on the next succeeding Distribution 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 Collection 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 Product. 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.

     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 Products 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 one or more physical damage insurance
policies; in each case, issued by a company authorized to issue such policies in
the state in which the related Product is located and in an amount which is not
less than the maximum insurable value of such Product or the principal balance
due from the Obligor on the related Contract, whichever is less; provided,
however, that the amount of coverage provided by each Insurance Policy shall be
sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause contained
therein; and provided[,] further, that such Insurance Policies may provide for
customary deductible amounts. Each 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 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 Insurance Policies to
be maintained pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 5.09, maintain one or
more blanket insurance policies covering any losses caused by damage to such
Product that would have been covered by an individual Insurance Policy. 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 Collection 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 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 Product that has been repossessed in connection
with a defaulted Contract, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain one or more
Insurance Policies thereon or (ii) self-insure such Products and deposit into
the Collection Account from its own funds any losses caused by damage to such
Product that would have been covered by an 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


                                       44

<PAGE>

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 retail installment sales agreements
having an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 or more and which are
generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional investors.

     SECTION 5.10 Repossession.

     Notwithstanding the standard of care specified in Section 5.02, the
Servicer shall commence procedures for the repossession of any Product 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 Product (which may include retitling) 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. In
connection with such repossession 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 Product is
acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be issued to the Indenture Trustee, as trustee, or, at
its election, to its nominee on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, as trustee.

     SECTION 5.11 Commingling of Funds.

     So long as the Originator is Servicer, any collections in respect of
Contracts collected by the Originator shall, prior to the deposit thereof in the
Collection Account, be held in bank accounts entitled substantially as follows:
"[name of depository], as agent for U.S. Bank Trust National Association and
other trustees and Conseco Finance Corp., as their interests may appear."

     SECTION 5.12 Retitling; Security Interests.

     (a) The Servicer shall, in accordance with its customary servicing
procedures, take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of the
security interest created by each Contract in the related Product. The Servicer
is hereby authorized to take such steps as are necessary to re-perfect such
security interest on behalf of the Issuer and the Indenture Trustee in the event
of the relocation of the Product or for any other reason.

     (b) If, at any time, a Service Transfer has occurred and the Originator is
no longer the Servicer and the new Servicer is unable to foreclose upon a
Product because the title document for such Product does not show such Servicer
or the Indenture Trustee as the holder of the first priority security interest
in the Product, such Servicer shall take all necessary steps to apply for a
replacement title document showing it or the Indenture Trustee as the secured
party. In order to facilitate the Servicer's actions, as described in subsection
(a) of this section, the Originator will provide the Servicer and/or the
Indenture Trustee with any necessary power of attorney permitting it to retitle
the Product. If the Servicer is still unable to retitle the Product, the
Originator will take all actions necessary to act with the Servicer to foreclose
upon the Product following a default on the related Contract, including, as
appropriate, the filing of any UCC-1 or UCC-2 financing statements necessary to
perfect the security interest in any Product.


                                       45

     SECTION 5.13 Servicer Advances.

     Not later than the Business Day immediately preceding each Distribution
Date, the Servicer shall advance to the Trust (each such advance, a "Servicer
Advance") all Delinquent Payments for the immediately preceding Monthly Period
by depositing the aggregate amount of such Delinquent Payments in the Collection
Account, provided, however, that the Servicer shall be obligated to advance
Delinquent Payments only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole
discretion, expects to be able to recover such advances from subsequent
collections, including Net Liquidation Proceeds.

     SECTION 5.14 Monthly Reports; Certificate of Servicing Officer.

     (a) No later than 1:00 p.m. (Minnesota time) on each Determination Date,
the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Paying
Agent, the Originator (if the Originator is not the Servicer), Standard & Poor's
and Moody's a "Monthly Report," substantially in the form of Exhibit C hereto.

     (b) Each Monthly Report pursuant to Section 5.14(a) shall be accompanied by
a certificate of a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit D,
certifying the accuracy of the Monthly Report and that no Event of Termination
or event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of
Termination has occurred, or if such event has occurred and is continuing,
specifying the event and its status.

     (c) The Originator and (if different from the Originator) the Servicer
shall, on request of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, Standard & Poor's,
Moody's or a Securityholder, furnish the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, Standard
& Poor's, Moody's or a Securityholder such underlying data as may be reasonably
requested.

     SECTION 5.15 Annual Report of Accountants.

     On or before March 31 of each year, commencing March 31, 2002, the Servicer
at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a
member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to make
available to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, Standard & Poor's and Moody's a
report stating that such firm has examined selected documents and records
relating to the servicing of retail installment sales contracts, including the
contracts covered by this Agreement, in accordance with the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage
Bankers, or any successor uniform program, and that, on the basis of such
examination, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with the minimum
servicing standards identified therein, except for such significant exceptions
or errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm, generally accepted
auditing standards requires it to report.

     SECTION 5.16 Certain Duties of the Servicer Under the Trust Agreement.

     The Servicer shall, and hereby agrees that it will, monitor the Trust's
compliance with all applicable provisions of state and federal securities laws,
notify the Trust and the Administrator of any actions to be taken by the Trust
necessary for compliance with such laws and prepare on


                                       46

<PAGE>

behalf of the Trust and the Administrator all notices, filings or other
documents or instruments required to be filed under such laws.

     SECTION 5.17 Annual Statement as to Compliance; Notice of Servicer
Termination Event.

     (a) The Servicer shall deliver to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, and
each of Standard & Poor's and Moody's, on or before March 31 (or 90 days after
the end of the Servicer's fiscal year, if other than December 31) of each year,
beginning on March 31, 2002, an officer's certificate signed by any Responsible
Officer of the Servicer, dated as of December 31 (or other applicable date) of
the immediately preceding year, stating that (i) a review of the activities of
the Servicer during the preceding 12-month period (or such other period as shall
have elapsed from the Closing Date to the date of the first such certificate)
and of its performance under this Agreement has been made under such officer's
supervision, and (ii) to such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the
Servicer has fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such
period, or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such
obligation, specifying each such default known to such officer and the nature
and status thereof.

     (b) The Originator or the Servicer shall deliver to the Trust, the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer or the Originator (as applicable) and each
Rating Agency promptly after having obtained knowledge thereof, but in no event
later than 2 Business Days thereafter, written notice in an officer's
certificate of any event which with the giving of notice or lapse of time, or
both, would become an Event of Termination under Section 7.01.

     SECTION 5.18 Maintenance of Security Interests in Products.

     (a) Consistent with the policies and procedures required by this Agreement,
the Servicer shall take such steps as are necessary to maintain perfection of
the security interest created by each Contract in the related Product on behalf
of the Trust, including but not limited to obtaining the execution by the
Obligors and the recording, registering, filing, re-recording, re-filing, and
re-registering of all security agreements, financing statements and continuation
statements as are necessary to maintain the security interest granted by the
Obligors under the respective Contracts. The Trust hereby authorizes the
Servicer, and the Servicer agrees, to take any and all steps necessary to
re-perfect such security interest on behalf of the Trust as necessary because of
the relocation of a Product or for any other reason. In the event that the
assignment of a Contract to the Trust is insufficient, without a notation on the
related Product's certificate of title, or without fulfilling any additional
administrative requirements under the laws of the state in which the Product is
located, to perfect a security interest in the related Product in favor of the
Trust, the Servicer hereby agrees that the Servicer's designation as the secured
party on the certificate of title is in its capacity as agent of the Trust.

     (b) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination, the Trust and the
Servicer shall take or cause to be taken such action as may, in the opinion of
counsel to the Trust, be necessary to perfect or re-perfect the security
interests in the Products securing the Contracts in the name of the Trust by
amending the title documents of such Products or by such other reasonable means
as may, in the opinion of counsel to the Trust, be necessary or prudent. The
Servicer hereby agrees


                                       47

<PAGE>

to pay all expenses related to such perfection or re-perfection and to take all
action necessary therefor.

     SECTION 5.19 Covenants, Representations, and Warranties of Servicer.

     By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer makes the

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, except for such consents, licenses, approvals
and authorizations as have been obtained.

     (d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer
of this Agreement and its Related Documents and the fulfillment of their terms
will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or
decree of any court or the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the
Servicer, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract
or other agreement to which the Servicer is a party or by which the Servicer may
be bound.

     (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any
court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge

the Trust, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders in the Contracts, the

     (j) No Amendments. The Servicer shall not extend or otherwise amend the

of a breach of any of the covenants set forth in Section 5.06(d), 5.06(e), 5.18
or 5.19, the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to
the others; provided, however, that the failure to give any such notice shall

Monthly Period that is 90 days after its discovery or receipt of notice of any
breach of any such covenant which materially and adversely affects the interests
of the Securityholders or the Trust in any Contract (including any Liquidated

corporation in an account of such institution. Subject to the other provisions
hereof, the Indenture Trustee shall have sole control over each such investment
and the income thereon, and any certificate or other instrument evidencing any
such investment, if any, shall be delivered directly to the Indenture Trustee or
its agent, together with each document of transfer, if any, necessary to

     The Indenture Trustee may, from time to time as provided herein, make
withdrawals from the Collection Account of amounts deposited in said account
that are attributable to the Contracts only for the following purposes:

          (a) to make payments in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
     Section 6.04;

          (b) to pay to the Originator with respect to each Contract or property
     acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased pursuant to Section
     3.05, all amounts received thereon and not required to be distributed to
     Noteholders or Certificateholders as of the date on which the related
     Scheduled Principal Balance or Repurchase Price is determined;

          (c) to reimburse the Servicer out of Liquidation Proceeds for
     Liquidation Expenses incurred by it, to the extent such reimbursement is

     was not required to be deposited therein; or

          (e) to make any rebates or adjustments deemed necessary by the

     Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clauses (b) and (c), the
Originator's or the Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or
other recoveries on the related Contract, the Servicer shall keep and maintain a
separate accounting, on a Contract by Contract basis, for the purpose of
justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to such clauses.

     SECTION 6.04 Distributions.

     (a) On each Distribution Date, the Servicer shall instruct the Indenture

                                SERVICE TRANSFER

     SECTION 7.01 Event of Termination.

     "Event of Termination" means the occurrence of any of the following (each a
"Servicer Termination Event"):

          (a) Any failure by the Servicer to make any deposit into an account
     required to be made hereunder and the continuance of such failure for a
     period of five Business Days after the Servicer has become aware, or should
     have become aware, that such deposit was required; provided, however, that
     no Event of Termination shall occur if such failure by the Servicer to make
     any such deposit shall be a result of any attack on, outbreak or escalation
     of hostilities or acts of terrorism involving the United States;

          (b) Failure on the Servicer's part to observe or perform in any
     material respect any covenant or agreement in this Agreement (other than a
     covenant or agreement which is elsewhere in this Section specifically dealt
     with), which failure shall (i) materially and adversely affect the rights
     of the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, or the Securityholders and (ii)
     continue unremedied for 30 days after the date on which written notice of
     such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given to
     the Servicer by the Indenture Trustee or to the Servicer and the Indenture
     Trustee by Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 25% of the Note
     Principal Balance or, if the Notes have been paid in full, by
     Certificateholders evidencing not less than a Certificate Majority.

          (c) Any assignment by the Servicer of its duties hereunder except as
     specifically permitted hereunder, or any attempt to make such an
     assignment;

          (d) A court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction in the
     premises shall have entered a decree or order for relief in respect of the
     Servicer in an involuntary case under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency
     or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or appointing a receiver,
     liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar
     official) of the Servicer, as the case may be, or for any substantial
     liquidation of its affairs, and such order remains undischarged and
     unstayed for at least 60 days;

          (e) The Servicer shall have commenced a voluntary case under any
     applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in
     effect, or shall have consented to


                                       57

<PAGE>

     the entry of an order for relief in an involuntary case under any such law,
     or shall have consented to the appointment of or taking possession by a
     receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or sequestrator (or
     other similar official) of the Servicer or for any substantial part of its
     property, or shall have made any general assignment for the benefit of its
     creditors, or shall have failed to, or admitted in writing 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
Trust, the Indenture Trustee, a Note Majority, or, if the Notes have been paid
in full, a Certificate Majority, by notice in writing to the Servicer (and to
the Indenture Trustee and Trust if given by the Certificateholders or
Noteholders) 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 such notice (or, if
later, on a date designated therein), or upon resignation of the Servicer in
accordance with Section 10.01, all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement, whether with respect to the Contracts, the Contract Files or
otherwise (except with respect to the Collection Account, the transfer of which
shall be governed by Section 7.06), shall pass to and be vested in the Indenture
Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the
Indenture 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
Indenture Trustee or a successor servicer the sole lienholder or legal title
holder of record of each Product) 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 Indenture Trustee in
effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer
hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Indenture 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
Collection 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 Indenture Trustee or a successor servicer
the sole lienholder or legal title holder of record in respect of each Product.
The Servicer shall be entitled to receive any other amounts which are payable to
the Servicer under this 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 and Contract Files in the
Servicer's possession.

     SECTION 7.03 Indenture 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 10.01, the Indenture 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


                                       58

<PAGE>

arising after such Service Transfer; provided, however, that (i) the Indenture
Trustee will not assume any obligations of the Originator pursuant to Section
3.05 and (ii) the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee
shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation not in excess of the
Monthly Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Indenture Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Indenture 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 Noteholders, exceed the
Monthly Servicing Fee. The Indenture Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.

     SECTION 7.04 Notification to Securityholders.

     (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Event of Termination, the
Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee, the Trust,
Standard & Poor's, and Moody's.

     (b) Within ten days following any termination or appointment of a successor
to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Owner Trustee on behalf of the
Trust shall give written notice thereof to Standard & Poor's, Moody's and the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate
Register and the Indenture Trustee shall give written notice thereof to
Noteholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Note Register.

     (c) The Owner Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall give written notice to
Standard & Poor's and Moody's at least 30 days prior to the date upon which any
Eligible Servicer (other than the Trustee) is to assume the responsibilities of
Servicer pursuant to Section 7.03, naming such successor Servicer.

     SECTION 7.05 Effect of Transfer.

     (a) After the Service Transfer, the Indenture 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.

     (b) After the Service Transfer, the replaced Servicer shall have no further
obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing or
collection of the Contracts and the new Servicer shall have all of such
obligations, except that the replaced Servicer will transmit or cause to be
transmitted directly to the new Servicer for its own account, promptly on
receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed
where required for the new


                                       59

<PAGE>

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 IX and Sections 3.05 and 5.19) other than
those relating to the management, administration, servicing or collection of the
Contracts.

     SECTION 7.06 Transfer of Collection Account.

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.02, if the Collection 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
Indenture Trustee, or in any event within ten days after the occurrence of the
Event of Termination, establish an Eligible Account with an institution other
than the Servicer and promptly transfer all funds in the Collection Account to
such new account, which shall thereafter be deemed the Collection Account for
the purposes hereof.

     SECTION 7.07 Limits on Liability.

     The Servicer will be liable to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee and the Securityholders only to the extent of the obligations
specifically undertaken by the Servicer under this Agreement and will have no
other obligations or liabilities hereunder. Neither the Servicer nor any of its
directors, officers, employees or agents will have any liability to the Trust,
the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Securityholders (except as
explicitly provided in this Agreement) for any action taken, or for refraining
from taking any action, pursuant to this Agreement, other than any liability
that would otherwise be imposed by reason of the Servicer's breach of this
Agreement or willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence (including errors in
judgment) in the performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard
of obligations and duties under this Agreement or any violation of law.

     SECTION 7.08 Waiver of Past Defaults.

     A Note Majority or, if the Notes have been paid in full, Certificate
Majority may, on behalf of all Holders of Notes and Certificates, waive any
default by the Servicer in the performance of its obligations hereunder and its
consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall cease
to exist, and any Event of Termination arising therefrom shall be deemed to have
been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend
to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon.

     SECTION 8.02 Liquidation or Sale of Trust Estate.

     Upon any sale of the assets of the Trust pursuant to Sections 10.01 of the

and reserves therefrom have been made in the Collection Account. On the
Distribution Date on which such proceeds are deposited in the Collection Account
(or, if such proceeds are not so deposited on a Distribution Date, on the
Distribution Date immediately following such deposit), the Trust shall instruct
the Indenture Trustee to distribute such funds, together with all other amounts

     SECTION 9.01 Originator's Indemnities.

     The Originator will defend and indemnify the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee (including the paying agent and any other agents of the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee), and the Securityholders against any and all
costs, expenses, losses, damages, taxes, claims and liabilities, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation of any
third-party claims arising out of or resulting from (i) 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, tax, claim or liability is not provided
for by the Originator's repurchase of such Contract pursuant to Section 3.05),
(ii) the use or ownership of any Products by the Originator or the Servicer or
any Affiliate of either, or (iii) the Originator's or the Trust's violation of
federal or state securities laws in connection with the offering and sale of the
Securities. 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 9.02 Liabilities to Obligors.

     No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts is
intended to be assumed by the Trust, the Owner Trustee, Indenture Trustee, or
the Securityholders under or as a result of this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby and, to the maximum extent


                                       62

<PAGE>

permitted and valid under mandatory provisions of law, the Trust, the Owner
Trustee, Indenture Trustee, and the Securityholders expressly disclaim such
assumption.

     SECTION 9.03 Servicer's Indemnities.

     (a) The Servicer shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the
Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee (including the Paying Agent and any other
agents of the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee), their respective
officers, directors, agents and employees and the Noteholders from and against
any and all costs, expenses, losses, claims, damages and liabilities to the
extent that such cost, expense, loss, claim, damage or liability arose out of,
or was imposed upon any of them through the Servicer's breach of this Agreement,
the negligence, willful misfeasance or bad faith of the Servicer in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.

     (b) Indemnification under this Section 9.03 shall include, without
limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.
If the Servicer has made any indemnity payments pursuant to this Section and the
recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the recipient
shall promptly repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, together with any
interest earned thereon.

     (c) Conseco Finance Corp., in its individual capacity, hereby acknowledges
that the indemnification provisions in the Transfer Agreement benefiting the
Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee are enforceable by each
hereunder.

     (d) The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of the
Related Documents.

     SECTION 9.04 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 pursuant to this
Article and the recipient thereafter collects any of such amounts from others,
the recipient will repay such amounts collected to the Originator or the
Servicer, as the case may be, without interest.


                                   ARTICLE X

                                  MISCELLANEOUS

     SECTION 10.01 Servicer Not to Assign Duties or Resign; Delegation of
Servicing Duties.

     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


                                       63

<PAGE>

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 Trust and the Indenture Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective
until the Indenture 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
     and Moody's of any such merger to which it is a party.

          (b) The Servicer may delegate duties under this Agreement to any of
     the Servicer's Affiliates. In addition, the Servicer may at any time
     perform the specific duty of repossessing Products through subcontractors
     who are in the business of servicing consumer receivables, and may also
     perform other specific duties through subcontractors; provided that the
     Servicer gives notice to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee and each of
     Standard & Poor's and Moody's, and provided further that no such delegation
     of duties by the Servicer shall relieve the Servicer of its responsibility
     with respect thereto.

     SECTION 10.02 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 a Note Majority and a Certificate Majority,
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 VI.

     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
and Moody's of any such merger to which it is a party.

     SECTION 10.03 Amendment.

     (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Originator, the
Servicer, the Seller and the Trust, with the prior written consent of the
Indenture Trustee but without the consent of any of the Securityholders, to
correct manifest error, to cure any


                                       64

<PAGE>

ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provisions herein which may be
inconsistent with any other provisions herein, as the case may be, including,
without limitation, to add or amend any provision as required by Standard &
Poor's, Moody's, or any other nationally recognized statistical rating
organization in order to improve or maintain the rating of any Class of Notes or
the Certificates, 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 Securityholder.

     (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Originator,
the Servicer, the Seller and the Trust with the prior written consent of the
Indenture Trustee and with the consent of a Certificate Majority and a Note
Majority with respect to each Class (which consent of any Holder of a
Certificate or Note given pursuant to this Section or pursuant to any other
provision of this Agreement shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and
on all future Holders of such Certificate or Note and of any Certificate or Note
issued upon the transfer thereof or in exchange thereof or in lieu thereof
whether or not notation of such consent is made upon the Certificate or Note)
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 Holders of Certificates or Notes; provided, however, no
such amendment shall

     (i)  increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay
          the timing of, collections of payments on Contracts or distributions
          required to be made on any Note or the Class A-1 Interest Rate, the
          Class A-2 Interest Rate, the Class A-3 Interest Rate, the Class A-4
          Interest Rate, the Class A-PPIO Interest Rate, the Class M-1 Interest
          Rate, the Class M-2 Interest Rate, or the Class B Interest Rate,

     (ii) amend any provisions of Section 6.04 in such a manner as to affect the
          priority of payment of interest or principal to Noteholders, or

     (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any such
          amendment or any waiver hereunder, without the consent of the Holders
          of all Securities then outstanding, and provided further, that the
          Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied.

     (c) Concurrently with the solicitation of any consent pursuant to this
Section 10.03, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish written notification to
Standard & Poor's and Moody's of such solicitation. Promptly after the execution
of any amendment pursuant to this Section 10.03, the Indenture Trustee shall
furnish written notification of the substance of such amendment to Standard &
Poor's, Moody's and each Securityholder.

     (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Securityholders under this
Section 10.03 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 Securityholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Indenture Trustee may prescribe.


                                       65

<PAGE>

     (e) Each of the Owner Trustee and Indenture Trustee may, but shall not be
obligated to, enter into any such amendment which affects its own rights, duties
or immunities under this Agreement or otherwise.

     (f) In connection with any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Owner
Trustee and Indenture 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.

     (g) Upon the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this Section
10.03, 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 Securityholder hereunder shall be bound thereby.
