                                   ARTICLE II

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      Section 2.01. Covenants, Representations and Warranties Regarding the
Servicer. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Origen Financial
L.L.C., as initial Servicer, and Origen Servicing, Inc., as initial Subservicer,
each makes the following representations, warranties and covenants as of the
Closing Date on which the Trust relies in accepting the Contracts and issuing
the Certificates and the Notes.

            (A) Formation and Good Standing. The Servicer is a limited liability
      company, and the Subservicer is a corporation, formed, validly existing
      and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation
      and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which
      it is currently engaged. Each of the Servicer and the Subservicer is duly
      qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company or
      corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
      character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or leased
      by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to qualify
      would have a material adverse effect on the business, properties, assets,
      or condition (financial or other) of the Servicer or the Subservicer, as
      applicable.

            (B) Authorization: Binding Obligations. Each of the Servicer and the
      Subservicer has the power and authority to make, execute, deliver and
      perform this Agreement and all of the transactions contemplated under this
      Agreement and has taken all necessary corporate action to authorize the
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. When executed and
      delivered, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding
      obligation of each of the Servicer and the Subservicer enforceable in
      accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of such terms maybe
      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. Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer is
      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,
      except for such consents, licenses, approvals and authorizations as have
      been obtained.

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

                                       3

<PAGE>

            (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 Servicer or the Subservicer threatened, against
      the Servicer or the Subservicer or any of their respective properties or
      with respect to this Agreement or the Notes which, if adversely
      determined, would in the opinion of the Servicer or the Subservicer have a
      material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this
      Agreement.

            (F) Chief Executive Office. The chief executive office of each of
      the Servicer and the Subservicer is at 27777 Franklin Road, Suite 1700,
      Southfield, Michigan 48034.

            (G) No Default. Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer is in
      default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order,
      regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental
      agency, which default would materially and adversely affect its condition
      (financial or other) or operations or its properties or the consequences
      of which would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder.
      Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer is in default under any agreement
      involving financial obligations or on any outstanding obligation which
      would materially adversely impact its financial condition or operations or
      legal documents associated with the transaction contemplated by this
      Agreement.

            (H) No Amendments. Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer shall
      extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Contract, except in accordance
      with Section 3.07.

      Section 2.02. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its
existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the
State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or
becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of
America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights
and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and
preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such
qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and
enforceability of this Servicing Agreement.

      Section 2.03. Enforcement of Representations and Warranties. The Servicer
shall cause the Originator to repurchase a Contract, at its Repurchase Price,
not later than the last day of the month prior to the month that is 90 days
after the day on which the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Indenture
Trustee first discovers a breach of a representation or warranty of the
Originator or the Seller set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 or 3.6 of the
Asset Purchase Agreement that materially adversely affects the Issuer's, the
Noteholders' 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 Servicer may cause the Originator, in lieu of repurchasing such
Contract, to deliver to the Servicer or the Subservicer for 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. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a
certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form attached

                                       4

<PAGE>

hereto as Exhibit B, any such cash so deposited shall be distributed to
Noteholders and Certificateholders on the immediately following Payment Date as
a collection of principal on such Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the obligation of the Servicer under this Section to enforce
the Originator's obligations pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not
terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VI. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Servicer shall cause the Originator to repurchase any
Land-and-Home Contract, at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or substitute for
it an Eligible Substitute Asset as described in Section 2.03(b), if the
Originator has failed to deliver the related Land and Home Contract File to the
Custodian within 30 days of the Closing Date, subject to delays in delivery of
recordable documents. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the
provisions of this Section 2.03 are an obligation solely of the Servicer and the
Originator and not of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event the Backup Servicer succeeds to the servicing rights and
responsibilities as provided in Section 6.02 and/or Section 6.03, the Backup
Servicer shall have no obligation under this Section 2.03 other than to use its
commercially reasonable efforts to request and/or demand the Originator to
perform its obligations under this Section 2.03.

                                  ARTICLE III

                    ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS

      Section 3.01. Responsibility for Contract Administration. The Servicer
shall 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. At the written request of the Servicer, accompanied by the form of
power of attorney or other documents being requested, the Indenture Trustee
shall furnish to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties hereunder, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be held
responsible for any acts by the Servicer in its uses of any such powers of
attorney or other document. The Servicer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee
for any reasonable costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the
intentional or negligent misuse of such power of attorney by the Servicer, as
applicable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the
Servicer shall not without the Indenture Trustee's written consent (i) initiate
any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Indenture Trustee's name without
indicating the Servicer's representative capacity or (ii) knowingly cause the
Indenture Trustee to be registered to do business in any state, provided,
however, that the preceding clause (i) shall not apply to the initiation of
actions relating to Contracts that the Servicer is servicing pursuant to its
respective duties herein. The limitations of the preceding clause shall not be
construed to limit any duty or obligation imposed on the Indenture Trustee under
any other provision of this Agreement.

      Origen Financial L.L.C. is hereby appointed the Servicer until such time
as any Service Transfer shall be effected under Article VI.

      Section 3.02. Standard of Care. In managing, administering, servicing and
making collections on the Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer
shall exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with the same degree of
skill and care that the Servicer exercises with

                                       5

<PAGE>

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 unless it makes the determination that acceptance
of the liquidation proceeds from the related Obligor would result in the Trust
receiving a greater amount of collections than the Net Liquidation Proceeds that
would result from repossessing or foreclosing and liquidating the related
Manufactured Home.

      Section 3.03. Records. The Servicer shall, during the period it is
servicer hereunder, maintain such books of account and other records as will
enable the Indenture Trustee to determine the status of each Contract.

      Section 3.04. Inspection: Electronic File.

      (a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Indenture 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 Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee may make, the 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 3.26 of the Indenture
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 Noteholders and Certificateholders.

      (c) On or before the fourth Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the
Servicer shall determine the Amount Available for such Payment Date to be
remitted to the Note Payment Account and shall provide to the Indenture Trustee
and the Backup Servicer an electronic file (the "Electronic File") setting forth
such amount and any other information necessary for the Indenture Trustee to
perform the calculations required hereunder and under the Indenture and prepare
the Monthly Report. The Indenture Trustee will be entitled to rely on
information supplied by the Servicer without independent verification.

      Section 3.05. Collection Account.

      (a) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the
Collection Account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which must be an Eligible
Account and notify the Backup Servicer of the location of the Collection
Account. The Collection Account shall be entitled "Origen Servicing for the
benefit of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee for the benefit of
holders of Origen Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Collateralized Notes,
Series

                                       6

<PAGE>

2005-A." The Servicer shall pay into the Collection Account as promptly as
practicable (not later than the second Business Day) following receipt thereof:

            (i) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of
      principal on the Contracts and all Principal Prepayments collected after
      the Cut-off Date;

            (ii) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of
      interest on the Contracts;

            (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds;

            (iv) all Insurance Proceeds unless to be used to directly offset the
      cost of repairing the related property;

            (v) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any
      Contract pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof or Section 3.7 of the Asset
      Purchase Agreement; and

            (vi) any other amount required to be deposited in the Collection
      Account pursuant to this Agreement;

provided, however, that with respect to each Due Period, the Servicer shall be
permitted to retain the Monthly Servicing Fee for the related Payment Date from
payments in respect of interest on the Contracts in accordance with Section 3.06
hereof. The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account
are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account amounts
representing late payment fees, assumption fees, extension fees or escrow
deposits payable by Obligors, which amounts shall be property of the Servicer.
The Servicer agrees that all amounts paid into the Collection Account under this
Agreement shall be held in trust for the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and
the Certificateholders until payment or withdrawal of any such amounts is
authorized under this Agreement.

            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 Permitted Investments
that mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Payment
Date. All income and gain from such investments shall be payable to the
Servicer. An amount equal to any net loss on such investments shall be deposited
in the Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as
realized; provided that if the Backup Servicer succeeds to the servicing rights
and responsibilities as provided in Section 6.02 and/or Section 6.03, the Backup
Servicer shall have no obligation or responsibility for any losses occasioned by
or arising from the prior Servicer's investments. The Indenture Trustee shall in
no way be responsible or liable for losses on amounts invested in accordance
with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Collection Account not so invested must
be insured to the extent of the maximum amount insurable by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation.

            If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the Note
Payment Account shall, in the name of the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as
such, invest the amounts in the Note Payment Account in Permitted Investments
that mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Payment
Date. All income and gain from such investments shall be payable

                                       7

<PAGE>

to the Servicer. An amount equal to any net loss on such investments shall be
deposited in the Note Payment Account by the Servicer out of its own funds
immediately as realized; provided that if the Backup Servicer succeeds to the
servicing rights and responsibilities as provided in Section 6.02 and/or Section
6.03, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation or responsibility for any
losses occasioned by or arising from the prior Servicer's investments. The
Indenture Trustee shall in no way be responsible or liable for losses on amounts
invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Note Payment
Account not so invested must be insured to the extent of the maximum amount
insurable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

            (b) If at anytime the Servicer receives notice (from each Rating
      Agency, the Indenture Trustee or otherwise) that the Collection Account
      has ceased to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer must, as soon as
      practicable but in no event later than 5 Business Days of the Servicer's
      receipt of such notice, transfer the Collection Account and all funds and
      Permitted Investments therein to an Eligible Account. Following any such
      transfer, the Servicer must notify each Rating Agency and the Indenture
      Trustee of the location of the Collection Account.

      Section 3.06. Permitted Withdrawals. The Servicer may, from time to time
as provided herein, make withdrawals from the Collection Account of amounts
deposited in said account pursuant to Section 3.05 that are attributable to the
Contracts for the following purposes:

      (a) to remit the Amount Available to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in
the Note Payment Account to make payments in the amounts and in the manner
provided for in Section 8.02 of the Indenture;

      (b) to pay to the Originator with respect to each Contract or property
acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased or replaced pursuant to
Section 2.03 hereof or Section 3.7 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, all amounts
received thereon and not required to be distributed to Noteholders or
Certificateholders as of the date on which the related 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 permitted pursuant
to Section 3.09, and to reimburse the Servicer as provided in Sections 3.08,
3.11, 3.13 and 6.02;

      (d) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account that was
not required to be deposited therein;

      (e) to make any rebates or adjustments deemed necessary by the Servicer
pursuant to Section 3.07(d); or

      (f) to reimburse the Servicer (1) for any accrued unpaid Monthly Servicing
Fees and (2) for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, including Nonrecoverable
Advances, to the extent not otherwise retained. The Servicer's right to
reimbursement for Servicing Advances that are not Nonrecoverable Advances shall
be limited to late collections on the related Contract, including Liquidation
Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as maybe collected by the
Servicer from the related Obligor or otherwise relating to the Contract in
respect of which such reimbursed amounts are owed. Except with respect to
Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer's right to reimbursement for unreimbursed
Servicing Advances shall be limited to late collections

                                       8

<PAGE>

of interest on any Contract and to Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds
on related Obligors. In addition, expenses incurred by the Servicer in
connection with a defaulted Contract which is subsequently reinstated, worked
out or cured, shall be reimbursable to the Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Advance
at the time of the cure.

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

            Two Business Days before each Payment Date, no later than 1:00 p.m.
New York time, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer of the Interest
Deficiency Remedy Amount, if any, payable on the Notes for such Payment Date.
One Business Day before each Payment Date, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York
time, the Servicer shall remit to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the
Note Payment Account (i) the Amount Available and (ii) from Amounts Held for
Future Distribution, the Interest Deficiency Remedy Amount for such Payment
Date.

      Section 3.07. 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, in the Servicer's reasonable judgment, will maximize the receipt of
principal and interest on such Contracts and Liquidation Proceeds with respect
to Liquidated Contracts.

      (b) The Servicer may sue to enforce, initiate a replevin action, or
collect upon Contracts, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust.

      (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 Issuer's and the Indenture 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) 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, except
as required by applicable law or regulation or upon the order of any court or
other governmental authority asserting jurisdiction in a suit, claim or
complaint involving the Contract.

      (e) The Servicer may, consistent with its customary servicing procedures
and consistent with Section 3.02, grant to the Obligor on any Contract an
extension of payments due under such Contract; provided that, no such extension
may extend beyond the final scheduled payment date of the Contract with the
latest maturity, and no more than three extensions for any one Contract of
payments under a Contract may be granted in any twelve-month period.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Contract that is in default
or for which default is imminent, the Servicer may, consistent with the
servicing standard described in Section 3.01, waive, modify or vary any term of
that Contract (including modifications that change the

                                       9

<PAGE>

Contract Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final
maturity date of that Contract), accept payment from the related Obligor of an
amount less than the Principal Balance in final satisfaction of that Contract,
or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or
otherwise grant the indulgence to any Obligor if in the Servicer's determination
such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse
to the interests of the Noteholders (taking into account any estimated loss that
might result absent such action). However, the Servicer shall not extend the
maturity of any Contract past the date on which the final payment is due on the
latest maturing Contract as of the related Cut-off Date.

      (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.

      Section 3.08. Indenture Trustee to Cooperate.

      (a) Upon payment in full of any Contract, the Servicer shall notify the
Indenture Trustee, the Originator and the Seller on the next succeeding Payment
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 3.05 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 and
collateral. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been paid in full;
to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Contract but are
otherwise incorrectly 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;
provided that the Servicer may reimburse itself for such shortfall payment from
the Collection Account if the Servicer corrects the error and receives amounts
in respect of such shortfall payment from future collections with respect to
such Contract.

      (b) From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosure in
connection with any Land-and-Home Contract, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon
written request of a Servicing Officer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of
a receipt signed by such Servicing Officer, at the expense of the Servicer,
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
Indenture 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 Indenture Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the
Indenture Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by the
Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the
Noteholders' and the Certificateholders' rights and remedies with respect to
Contracts. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the performance of any
such acts at the request of the Servicer.

                                       10

<PAGE>

      (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
Indenture Trustee when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Asset
shall be liquidated or repurchased or replaced as described in Section 2.03.

      Section 3.09. 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 to the extent specifically provided herein.
Furthermore, the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of
a Liquidated Contract for Liquidation Expenses incurred by it and if such
Liquidation Expenses are deemed Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer may
reimburse itself as provided in Section 3.06(f). 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 3.10. Maintenance of Insurance.

      (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 3.10,
the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Contract one or
more Hazard Insurance Policies which provide, at a minimum, the same coverage as
a standard form fire and extended coverage insurance policy that is customary
for manufactured housing, issued by a company authorized to issue such policies
in the state in which the related Manufactured Home is located and in an amount
which is not less than the maximum insurable value of such Manufactured Home or
the principal balance due from the Obligor on the related Contract, whichever is
less; provided, however, that the amount of coverage provided by each Hazard
Insurance Policy shall be sufficient to avoid the application of any
co-insurance clause contained therein; and provided, further, that such Hazard
Insurance Policies may provide for customary deductible amounts. With respect to
any Contract, the Servicer shall cause the Originator to obtain (i) a statement
from the Obligor's insurance agent or through other information sources 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 force place coverage and 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. If the Obligor does not
reimburse the Servicer for payment of such premiums and the related Contract is
liquidated after a default, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for its payment of
such premiums out of the related Liquidation Proceeds, and if such advance for
insurance premiums is deemed by the Servicer to be nonrecoverable in its
reasonable opinion, the Servicer may reimburse itself from the Collection
Account for such Nonrecoverable Advance.

                                       11

<PAGE>

      (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 3.10, 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 Obligor'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 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 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 Collection Account from its own funds any losses
caused by damage to such Manufactured Home that would have been covered by a
Hazard Insurance Policy.

      (d) The Servicer shall keep in force throughout the term of this Agreement
(i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure
to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement and (ii) a fidelity bond.
Such policy or policies and such fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount
as is generally customary among Persons which service a portfolio of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements
having an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 or more and which are
generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional investors.

      Section 3.11. Repossession. Consistently with the standard of care
specified in Section 3.02, 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 a delinquent 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. Notwithstanding the standard of care specified in Section 3.02, the
Servicer shall commence procedures for the repossession of any Manufactured Home
or the foreclosure upon any Mortgaged Property with respect to a Contract, and
to liquidate such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property, as soon as
commercially reasonably practicable after the time when such Contract becomes a
Charged off Contract (or sooner in the Servicer's reasonable judgment).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.11 or any other
provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Contract as to which the
Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence
of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the
Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, either (i) obtain title
to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise
or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take

                                       12

<PAGE>

any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of
any such action, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Estate or the Noteholders
would be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or
to be an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of
the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of
1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer
has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report
prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary
industry standards, that:

                  (1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable
            environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic
            interest of the Indenture Trustee to take such actions as are
            necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith;
            and

                  (2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged
            Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any
            hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or
            petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing,
            monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required
            under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any
            such materials are present for which such action could be required,
            that it would be in the best economic interest of the Indenture
            Trustee to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged
            Property.

            The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this
Section 3.11 shall be advanced by the Servicer as Servicing Advances, subject to
the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Section 3.06(c) or 3.06(f), as appropriate, such right of
reimbursement being prior to the rights of Noteholders to receive any amount in
the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Contract or other
Contracts.

            If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the
best economic interest of the Indenture Trustee to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then
the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer shall
not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if
the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the
environmental audit report, together with the Servicing Advances made by the
Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost
of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by
the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the
Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(c) or 3.06(f), as appropriate,
such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Noteholders to receive
any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected
Contract or other Contracts.

            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

                                       13

<PAGE>

with Section 3.02. 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 Indenture Trustee, as Indenture Trustee, or, at its
election, to its nominee on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, as Indenture
Trustee.

      Section 3.12. Subservicing Arrangements. The Servicer may arrange for the
subservicing of any Contract by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing
agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms
of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such
Contracts in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated
hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement
to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Contracts
include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer.
Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the
provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the
Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer
or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Originator, the Seller, the Noteholders and the
Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Contracts in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such
obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or
arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the
same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone
were servicing and administering the Contracts. All actions of each subservicer
performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as
an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly
by the Servicer. The Servicer hereby appoints Origen Servicing, Inc., as its
subservicer. Origen Servicing, Inc. accepts the appointment as subservicer and
agrees to service the Contracts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
The Subservicer shall be entitled to retain from collections on the Contracts
pursuant to Section 3.06(f), a subservicing fee equal to the portion of the
Monthly Servicing Fee calculated at 1.00% per annum, and shall remit all
servicing compensation in excess of such amount to the Servicer. Origen
Servicing, Inc. is hereby deemed an acceptable Subservicer for purposes of this
Agreement.

            All references to the Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed to
include reference to the Subservicer and the parties to this Agreement shall
deal directly with the Subservicer rather than the Servicer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the parties hereto may and shall be entitled to rely on direction
provided by either the Servicer or the Subservicer.

            For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have
received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Contracts
that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are
remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer.

      Section 3.13. Retitling; Security Interests.

      (a) If, at any time, a Service Transfer has occurred and the new Servicer
is unable to repossess or foreclose upon a Manufactured Home because the title
document for such Manufactured Home does not show such Servicer or the Indenture
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 Indenture Trustee as the secured

                                       14

<PAGE>

party; provided that the new Servicer shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all
reasonable expenses in connection with its responsibilities under this Section
3.13.

      (b) In order to facilitate the Servicer's actions, as described in
subsection (a) of this section, Origen Servicing, Inc. will provide the
Servicer, and the Servicer will provide the Indenture Trustee, 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,
Origen Servicing, Inc. will take all actions necessary to act with the Servicer
to initiate replevin action upon the Manufactured Home, including, as
appropriate, the filing of any UCC-1 or UCC-2 financing statements necessary to
perfect the security interest in any Manufactured Home that constitutes a
fixture under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located and all
actions necessary to perfect the security interest in any Manufactured Home that
is considered or classified as part of the real estate on which it is located
under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located.

      Section 3.14. Payment of Taxes. If the Servicer becomes aware of the
nonpayment by an Obligor of a real or personal property tax or other tax or
charge which may result in a lien upon a Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property
prior to, or equal to or coordinate with, the lien of the related Contract, the
Servicer, consistent with Section 3.02, shall advance, but only to the extent
that the Servicer deems, in its sole judgement, such advance recoverable, such
taxes or charges to avoid the attachment of any such lien. If the Servicer shall
have paid any such real or personal property tax or other tax or charge directly
on behalf of an Obligor, the Servicer may separately add such amount to the
Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but, for the purposes of this
Agreement, may not add such amount to the remaining principal balance of the
Contract. If the Servicer shall have repossessed a Manufactured Home or
Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Noteholders, the Certificateholders and the
Indenture Trustee, the Servicer shall advance, but only to the extent that the
Servicer, in its sole judgment, deems such advance recoverable, the amount of
any such tax or charge arising during the time such Manufactured Home is in the
Servicer's possession or title to the Mortgaged Property is in the name of the
Servicer (or any Person acting on behalf of the Servicer), unless the Servicer
is contesting in good faith such tax or charge or the validity of the claimed
lien on such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property. If the Obligor does not
reimburse the Servicer for payment of such taxes or charges pursuant to this
Section 3.14 and the related Contract is liquidated after a default, the
Servicer shall be reimbursed for its payment of such taxes or charges out of the
related Liquidation Proceeds. If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to
reimburse the Servicer for any such premiums, the amount of such insufficiency
shall constitute, and be reimbursable to the Servicer as, a Nonrecoverable
Advance.

      Section 3.15. Statement as to Compliance.

            Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006,
the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor an
Officers' Certificate (upon which the Indenture Trustee can conclusively rely in
connection with its obligations under Section 7.05 of the Indenture)
substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto stating, as to each
signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer and the
Subservicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this
Servicing Agreement has been

                                       15

<PAGE>

made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's
knowledge, based on such review, each of the Servicer and the Subservicer has
fulfilled all of its obligations under this Servicing Agreement throughout such
year, 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. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee
to any Noteholder and to any Person identified to the Indenture Trustee as a
prospective transferee of a Note, upon request at the expense of the requesting
party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Indenture
Trustee.

      Section 3.16. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.

            Not later than April 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006,
the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of
independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report
stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain
matters from the management of each of the Servicer and the Subservicer which
includes an assertion that each of the Servicer and the Subservicer has complied
with certain minimum servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single
Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers
Association of America, with respect to the servicing of manufactured housing
installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements during the most
recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination
conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated
in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications
that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to
matters relating to the direct servicing of manufactured housing installment
sales contracts and installment loan agreements by Sub-Servicers, upon
comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered
on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards
(rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers.
Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall, at its own expense,
furnish a copy of such report to the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency.
Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee to any
Noteholder upon request, provided that such statement is delivered by the
Servicer to the Indenture Trustee.

      Section 3.17. Optional Redemption.

      (a) The Servicer shall have the option to purchase all outstanding
Contracts on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Pool
Principal Balance is less than or equal to 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance.
The aggregate redemption price for the Contracts will be equal to the greater of
(a) the sum of: (i)100% of the Principal Balance of each Contract, other than
any Contract as to which the related Manufactured Home has been repossessed and
whose fair market value is included in clause (ii) hereof, and (ii) the fair
market value of any acquired property, as determined by the Servicer, and (b)
the aggregate fair market value of all assets of the Trust Estate (as determined
by the Servicer), in each case plus accrued and unpaid Interest Payment Amounts
on each Class of Notes at the applicable Note Rate (the "Redemption Price"). If
the determination of the fair market value of the Contracts shall be required to
be made by the Servicer as provided above, (A) such appraisal shall be obtained
at no

                                       16

<PAGE>

expense to the Indenture Trustee and (B) the Indenture Trustee may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal.

      (b) In order to exercise the foregoing option, the Servicer shall provide
written notice of its exercise of such option to the Indenture Trustee and the
Owner Trustee at least 30 days prior to its exercise. In addition, the Servicer
shall, not less than one Business Day prior to the proposed Payment Date on
which such redemption is to be made, deposit the Redemption Price specified in
(a) above with the Indenture Trustee.

                                   ARTICLE IV

                              SERVICING CERTIFICATE

      Section 4.01. Electronic Files.

      (a) No later than 1:00 p.m. on the fourth Business Day prior to each
Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup
Servicer, with a copy to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as underwriter of the
Notes, the Electronic File referred to in Section 3.04(c).

      (b) With the delivery of each Electronic File pursuant to Section 4.01
(a), the Servicer shall be deemed to certify as to the accuracy of the
Electronic File and that no Servicer Event of Default or event that with notice
or lapse of time or both would become an Servicer Event of Default has occurred,
or if such event has occurred and is continuing, specifying the event and its
status.

      Section 4.02. Exchange Act Reporting.

      (a) The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with
the Issuer and the Administrator in connection with the Trust's satisfying the
reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the "Exchange Act").

      (b) Reserved.

      (c) The Indenture Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached
hereto as Exhibit C-2) for the benefit of the Administrator and its officers,
directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification
(provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not undertake an analysis
of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). The
Indenture Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Administrator by no
later than March 20th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the
immediately preceding Business Day).

      (d) The Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit C-3) for the benefit of the Administrator and its officers, directors
and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification relating to
Electronic Files delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The
Servicer's certification shall be delivered to the Administrator by no later

immediately preceding Business Day).

                                       17

            In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Administrator, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and their respective
officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a
breach of such Servicer's obligations under this Section 4.02(d) or such
Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith.
The Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer and its
officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages,
penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related
costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a
breach of the Administrator's obligations under this Section 4.02 or the
Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection
therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or
insufficient to hold harmless the Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable,
then the other party, in connection with a breach of its respective obligations
under this Section 4.02 with respect to the Administrator or Section 4.02(d)
with respect to the Servicer or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful
misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to the
amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims,
damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Administrator on
the one hand and the Servicer on the other.

      (e) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the Administrator
certifies to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer that reports and
certifications differing from those required under this Section 4.02 comply with
the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, each of the Servicer and the
Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that it will reasonably cooperate to amend the
provisions of this Section 4.02 (in accordance with Section 7.01) in order to
comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this
Section 4.02. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports
filed by the Administrator under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Servicer shall be obligated to
enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its
rights, protections, obligations and immunities under this Servicing Agreement.

                                   ARTICLE V

                      THE SERVICER AND THE BACKUP SERVICER

      Section 5.01. Liability of the Servicer and the Backup Servicer. The
Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the
obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Servicer or the
Subservicer herein. The Backup Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith
only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken
herein by the Backup Servicer.

      Section 5.02. Merger or Consolidation of or Assumption of the Obligations
of the Servicer and the Backup Servicer. Any Person into which the Servicer or
the Backup Servicer maybe merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from
any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer or the Backup
Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the
Servicer or the Backup Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer or the
Backup Servicer, as the case may be, 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

                                       18

<PAGE>

contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall
satisfy all the requirements of an Eligible Servicer.

      Section 5.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Neither
the Servicer, the Backup Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or
employees or agents of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer shall be under any
liability to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the
Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any
action by the Servicer or the Backup Servicer in good faith pursuant to this
Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision
shall not protect the Servicer or the Backup Servicer or any such Person against
any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the
Servicer or the Backup Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its
obligations and duties of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer hereunder. The
Servicer, the Backup Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent
of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of
any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting
any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer, the Backup Servicer and any
director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer
shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability
or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this
Agreement, the Notes or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or
expense related to any specific Contract or Contracts (except as any such loss,
liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement)
and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or
by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder; and
such indemnity/hold harmless amounts as provided for in this sentence shall be
payable only pursuant to Section 8.02 (xi) of the Indenture after payments to
the Noteholders for the related Payment Date. The Servicer or the Backup
Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable
in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto
and the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders hereunder. In
such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any
liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the
Trust and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor only after
payments to the Notes for the related Payment Date. The Servicer's or the Backup
Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall
survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer
pursuant to Section 5.04 or 6.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or
liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from
events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination). This paragraph
shall apply to the Servicer or the Backup Servicer solely in its capacity as
Servicer or the Backup Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities.

            Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this
Agreement, the parties hereto and the Noteholders and the Certificateholders
acknowledge and agree that the Backup Servicer is not assuming and shall not be
responsible or liable for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages or
expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to (i)
any act or omission of the initial Servicer or any prior servicer in its
capacity as Servicer on or prior to the effective Service Transfer Date, (ii)
any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the initial Servicer, the
Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer or any other party to this
Agreement prior to, on or following the Servicer Transfer Date, or (iii) any
breach or default by the initial Servicer, the Originator, the Seller, the
Depositor or the

                                       19

<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee of their respective duties, obligations, covenants,
representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related
document or agreement, whether such breach or default occurs or occurred prior
to, on or following the Service Transfer Date.

            The parties hereto and the Noteholders and the Certificateholders
acknowledge that the Backup Servicer has agreed to be Backup Servicer for the
limited purpose of servicing the Contracts, and that neither the Backup Servicer
nor any of its Affiliates provides any guarantee or assurance whatsoever
regarding the payment of the Notes or the Certificates in full, the timing of
payment of the Notes or the Certificates or the enforceability or collectability
of the Contracts.

      Section 5.04. Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the
provisions of Section 5.02, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall
resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon
determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no
longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or
Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer so
causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer,
the Backup Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this
Agreement, or (ii) in the case of the Backup Servicer, upon a default in payment
of the fees and other amounts due and payable to the Backup Servicer as provided
in this Agreement, which default is not cured within 15 days following written
notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee or (iii) upon satisfaction of the
following conditions: (a) the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as applicable,
has proposed a successor servicer to the Indenture Trustee in writing and such
proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee;
and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Indenture
Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the
proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer or Backup Servicer,
as applicable, hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the
then current rating of any Class of the Notes; provided, however, that no such
resignation by the Servicer or the Backup Servicer under (i) or (iii) above
shall become effective until such successor Servicer or Backup Servicer or, in
the case of (i) above with respect to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall
have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in
accordance with this Agreement or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a
successor servicer in accordance with Section 6.02. Any such resignation shall
not relieve the Servicer or Backup Servicer of responsibility for any of the
obligations specified in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 or this Article V as specified
as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer or
the Backup Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the
Servicer or Backup Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee.

      Section 5.05. Delegation of Duties. Neither the Servicer nor the Backup
Servicer may sell or assign its rights and duties as Servicer or Backup
Servicer, as applicable, 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 and/or reimbursements for
Outstanding Amounts Advanced and (without duplication) Nonrecoverable Advances.

      Section 5.06. Rights of the Issuer in Respect of the Servicer. The
Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each
Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Issuer

                                       20

access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in
respect of the Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to
officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for
such obligations. The Issuer may, but is not obligated to, enforce the
obligations of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement and may, but is not
obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation
of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement or exercise the rights of the
Servicer under this Servicing Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be
relieved of any of its obligations under this Servicing Agreement by virtue of
such performance by the Issuer or its designee. The Issuer shall not have any
responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and
is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this
Servicing Agreement or otherwise.

      Section 5.07. Indemnification. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
Trustee and their officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any
loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of
the Servicer's or the Subservicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence
in the performance of its activities in servicing or administering the Contracts
pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award,
settlement, reasonable fees of counsel of its selection and other costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened
action, proceeding or claim related to the Servicer's or the Subservicer's
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. Any such indemnification shall not
be payable from the assets of the Trust. The provisions of this indemnity shall
run directly to and be enforceable by an injured party subject to the
limitations hereof. The provisions of this Section 5.07 shall survive
termination of this Agreement.

      Section 6.02. Transfer.

      (a) If a Servicer Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, either
the Indenture Trustee (after it has knowledge of such Servicer Event of Default)
or Noteholders of 51% or more of the aggregate Note Balances of the Notes, by
notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the Indenture Trustee if given by the
Noteholders) may terminate all (but not less than all) of the Servicer's
management, administrative, servicing and collection functions as provided
herein (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 5.04, 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 Collection Account, the transfer of which shall be governed by
Section 6.06), shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer pursuant to
and under this Section 6.02; and, without limitation, the Backup Servicer 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 and
to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes
of such notice of termination. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Backup

Servicer 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 pursuant to Section 6.06, or for its own account in
connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to
the Contracts. 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, Contract Files
and Land and Home Contract Files in the Servicer's possession. Any and all costs
and expenses incurred by the Backup Servicer in connection with the transfer of
servicing functions as provided herein, including, without limitation, the cost
of delivering the Contracts and related files to the Backup Servicer, shall be
paid by the initial Servicer within 10 days following invoice therefor, and to
the extent not paid in a timely manner, the Backup Servicer shall be reimbursed
as provided in clause (b) of this Section 6.02. The Backup Servicer shall not be
liable to and shall be held harmless by the Issuer, the Noteholders, the
Certificateholders, the Seller, the Originator, the Depositor, the Indenture
Trustee and the initial Servicer for any and all claims arising from or related
to (i) any missing or lost Contracts, Contract Files or related documents or
(ii) any inaccurate, incomplete or missing information reasonably necessary for
the servicing of the Contracts, which is not the direct result of the willful
misfeasance or negligence of the Backup Servicer.

      (b) On or before the Closing Date the Servicer shall deposit into an
account (the "Reserve Account") maintained with the Indenture Trustee an amount
equal to $100,000. The Reserve Account shall not be a trust account. In the
event that, upon a Service Transfer, any and all costs and expenses incurred by
the Backup Servicer in connection with the transfer of servicing functions as
provided herein, including, without limitation, the cost of delivering the
Contracts and related files to the Backup Servicer, are not paid by the initial
Servicer within 10 days following invoice therefor, and to the extent not paid
in a timely manner, the Backup Servicer shall forward such invoice to the
Indenture Trustee and the Indenture Trustee shall reimburse the Backup Servicer
from amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account, to the extent of available
funds. If amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account are not sufficient therefor,
the Backup Servicer may reimburse itself for such costs and expenses from the
Collection Account. The Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Indenture
Trustee upon reimbursement of all invoiced costs and expenses regardless of the
source of reimbursement. Upon the earlier to occur of (i) reimbursement to the
Backup Servicer of all invoiced costs and expenses incurred in connection with a
Service Transfer, or (ii) the final Payment Date with respect to the Notes, any
amounts on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be remitted to the initial
Servicer by the Indenture Trustee.

      Section 6.03. Backup Servicer to Act, Appointment of Successor. The
Indenture Trustee shall send written notification of any Service Transfer or any
resignation of the Servicer in accordance with Section 5.04, within one Business
Day after the Indenture Trustee obtains actual knowledge thereof. The Backup
Servicer, upon two (2) Business Days' written notice from the Indenture Trustee
of such Service Transfer to the Backup Servicer, shall be the successor in all
respects to the servicing rights, duties and responsibilities of the Servicer
(in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement) except as provided herein
which arise after the

                                       23

effective date of such Service Transfer and the Servicer (except as provided
herein) shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities
arising after such Service Transfer; provided, however, that (i) the Backup
Servicer shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the initial or any
prior Servicer (or subservicer) accruing prior to such Service Transfer or for
any breach or default by the initial or any prior Servicer, the Originator, the
Seller, the Issuer or Indenture Trustee of any of their respective obligations
contained herein or in any related document or agreement, and (ii) the initial
or any prior Servicer shall remain liable for any acts or omissions of such
initial or prior 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 Backup Servicer
shall be entitled to receive the Monthly Servicing Fee. Furthermore, the Backup
Servicer shall be entitled to all rights of the Servicer in connection with its
responsibilities under this Agreement, including reimbursement rights for
advances as provided herein and in the Indenture. If the Backup Servicer is
legally unable so to act, the Indenture Trustee may 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, the Servicer shall act in
such capacity until a successor servicer assumes such responsibilities, duties
or liabilities. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Backup
Servicer or 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 the Backup Servicer and such
successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession as provided herein. The Backup
Servicer shall be entitled to rely upon the representations, warranties and
covenants made by the Originator, the Seller, the Depositor, the Issuer, the
Indenture Trustee, the Owner Trustee and the initial Servicer set forth in this
Agreement and any related document including the Basic Documents, and the Backup
Servicer shall be held harmless by the Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, the
Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and the initial Servicer, severally and not
jointly for any and all claims, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
payments costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind
whatsoever incurred by the Backup Servicer arising from or related to any
breach, inaccuracy, default or nonperformance of such representations,
warranties or covenants of the Issuer, the Seller, the Originator, the Indenture
Trustee or the initial Servicer, as the case may be, as set forth herein or in
any related document or agreement, including the Basic Documents.

      Section 6.04. Notification to Noteholders.

      (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Servicer Event of Default,
the Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee, the
Backup Servicer, the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders at their respective
addresses appearing on the Note Register.

      (b) Within ten days following any termination or appointment of a
successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VI, the Indenture Trustee
shall give written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies and the Noteholders at
their respective addresses appearing on the Note Register.

                                       24

      (c) The Indenture Trustee shall give written notice to the Rating Agencies
prior to the date upon which any Eligible Servicer (other than the Indenture
Trustee) is to assume the responsibilities of Servicer pursuant to Section 6.03,
naming such successor Servicer.

      Section 6.05. Effect of Transfer.

      (a) After the Service Transfer, the Backup Servicer or new Servicer shall
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 except as provided herein and the Backup Servicer
shall have all of such obligations except as provided herein and the replaced
Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Backup
Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which
received, any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the Backup Servicer
to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the
Contracts. In any event, the initial Servicer shall remain obligated to fulfill
its indemnity and hold harmless obligations following a Service Transfer or
termination of this Agreement.

      (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
pursuant to Section 5.07) other than those relating to the management,
administration, servicing or collection of the Contracts following the effective
Service Transfer. Upon and following a Servicer Transfer and commencement of
servicing by the Backup Servicer, the initial Servicer shall have no further
rights to the Monthly Servicing Fee, other than any accrued and unpaid Monthly
Servicing Fee due to the initial Servicer as of such date and the Backup
Servicer shall have no further rights to the Monthly Backup Servicing Fee, other
than any accrued and unpaid Monthly Backup Servicing Fee due to the Backup
Servicer as of such date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to
a Servicer Transfer to the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall be paid
the Monthly Backup Servicing Fee as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the
Backup Servicer shall be paid an initial commitment fee of $25,000, which shall
be paid directly by the Servicer within five (5) Business Days from the Closing
Date and shall constitute an expense reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to
Section 8.02(a)(I)(xvi) of the Indenture.

      Section 6.06. Transfer of Collection Account. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 6.02, if the Collection Account shall be maintained with
the Servicer and a Servicer Event of Default 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 Servicer Event of
Default, 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. Upon a Service Transfer, the Collection Account shall be
transferred to an Eligible Account as directed by the successor Servicer.

under the Indenture. In addition, the Administrator shall consult with the Owner
Trustee as the Administrator deems appropriate regarding the duties of the
Issuer under the Indenture. The Administrator shall monitor the performance of
the Issuer and shall advise the Owner Trustee when action is necessary to comply
with the Issuer's duties under the Indenture. The Administrator shall prepare

Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and
opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer to prepare, file or deliver
pursuant to the Indenture. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Administrator
shall take all necessary action that is the duty of the Issuer to take pursuant
to the Indenture.

      (b) Duties with Respect to the Issuer.

      Servicing Agreement or any of the Basic Documents, the Administrator shall
      perform such calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Issuer or
      the Owner Trustee or shall cause the preparation by other appropriate
      Persons of all such documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates
      and opinions as it shall be the duty of the Issuer or the Owner Trustee to

      appropriate action that it is the duty of the Issuer to take pursuant to

      shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Issuer and

      parties.

Owner Trustee or the Issuer, all tax returns (if any) and information reports,
tax elections and such annual or other reports of the Issuer as are necessary

notified the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee of the proposed action and
the Owner Trustee and, with respect to items (A), (B), (C) and (D) below, the
Indenture Trustee shall not have withheld consent or provided an alternative
direction. For the purpose of the preceding sentence, "non-ministerial matters"
shall include:

      of successor Servicers or the consent to the assignment by the Certificate
      Registrar, Paying Agent or Indenture Trustee of its obligations under the
      Indenture; and

            (E) the removal of the Indenture Trustee.

execute any Form 8-K and file each such document on behalf of the Depositor and
the Issuer. Such power of attorney shall continue until the earlier of (i)
receipt by the Servicer from the Depositor and the Issuer of written termination

      (b) Each Form 8-K shall be filed by the Administrator or its delegatee
within 15 days after each Payment Date, with a copy of the statement to the
Noteholders for such Payment Date as an exhibit thereto. Prior to March 30th of
each year (or such earlier date as may be required by the Exchange Act and the
Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission), beginning in
2005, the Administrator shall file (or cause to be filed) a Form 10-K, in
substance as required by applicable law or applicable Securities and Exchange
Commission staffs interpretations. Such Form 10-K shall include as exhibits the
Servicer's annual statement of compliance described under Section 3.15 and the
accountant's report described under Section 3.16, in each case to the extent
they have been timely delivered to the Administrator. If they are not so timely
delivered, the Administrator shall file (or cause to be filed) an amended Form
10-K including such documents as exhibits reasonably promptly after they are
delivered to the Administrator. The Administrator shall have no liability with
respect to any failure to properly prepare or file such periodic reports
resulting from or relating to the Administrator's inability or failure to obtain
any information not resulting from its own negligence or willful misconduct. The
Form 10-K shall also include a certification in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit C-l (the "Certification"), which shall be signed by the senior officer
of the Administrator.

      (c) Upon any filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the
Administrator shall promptly deliver to the Issuer a copy of any executed
report, statement or information.

      (d) Prior to January 30 of the first year in which the Administrator is
able to do so under applicable law, the Administrator shall file (or cause to be
filed) a Form 15 Suspension Notification with respect to the Trust.

      Section 8.06. Indemnification.

            The Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the
Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their officers,
directors, agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, expense,
damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of the Administrator's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its activities
pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award,
settlement, reasonable fees of counsel of its selection and other costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened
action, proceeding or claim related to the Administrator's willful misfeasance,
bad faith or negligence. Any such indemnification shall not be payable from the
assets of the Trust. The provisions of this indemnity shall run directly to and
be enforceable by an injured party subject to the limitations hereof. The
provisions of this Section 8.06 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
