payments on or with respect to the Loans due after the Cut-off Date, all rights
of the Seller under the Transfer Agreement and all other assets now or hereafter
included in the Trust Fund. Such transfer and assignment is intended by the
Seller to be a sale of such assets for all purposes, including, without
limitation, the Federal Bankruptcy Code, to the end that all such assets will
hereafter cease to be the property of the Seller and would not be includable in
the estate of the Seller or the Originator for purposes of Section 541 of the
Federal Bankruptcy Code.

     c.  Although the parties intend that each conveyance pursuant to this
Agreement of the Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Loans
(including the Subsequent Loans) shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a
loan, if such conveyances are deemed to be loans, the parties intend that the
rights and obligations of the parties to such loans shall be established
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. If the conveyances are deemed to be
loans, the parties further intend and agree that the Originator and the Seller
shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee and the Originator, and the
Seller does hereby grant to the Trustee, a perfected first-priority security
interest in the Trust Fund and that this Agreement shall constitute a security
agreement under applicable law. If the trust created by this Agreement
terminates prior to the satisfaction of the claims of any Person under any
Certificate or Class C Certificate, the security interest created hereby shall
continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be the
collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

     SECTION 2.04.  Acceptance by Trustee.
                    ---------------------
     a.   On the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer Date, if the
conditions set forth in Section 2.02 and 2.03, respectively, have been
satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver a certificate to the Seller substantially
in the form of Exhibit G hereto (an "Acknowledgment") acknowledging conveyance
of the Loans identified on the applicable List of Loans and the related Loan
Files to the Trustee and declaring that the Trustee, directly or through a
Custodian, will hold all Loans that have been delivered in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all Certificateholders and
the Class C Certificateholder. In consideration of the assignment of the Trust
Fund to it, the Trustee has issued on the Closing Date, to or upon the order of
the Seller, the Certificates and the Class C Certificate representing, in the
aggregate, ownership of the entire beneficial interest in the REMIC comprising
the Trust.

     b.   The Trustee or a Custodian shall review each Loan File, as described
in Exhibit G, within 60 days of the Closing Date or later receipt by it of the
Loan File. If, in its review of

                                      2-4
<PAGE>

the Loan Files as described in Exhibit G, the Trustee or a Custodian discovers a
breach of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 2.03, 3.02,
3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 of this Agreement, or in the Officer's Certificates delivered
pursuant to Section 2.02(j), 2.03(b)(vii), 2.06(ii) or 3.06(b)(ii), the Trustee
or Custodian, as the case may be, shall notify the Seller and the Originator
shall cure such breach or repurchase or replace such Loan pursuant to Section
3.06.


     SECTION 2.05.  REMIC Provisions.
                    ----------------

     a.   The Originator, as Servicer, and the Class C Certificateholder, by
acceptance thereof, each agrees that, in accordance with the requirements of
Section 860D(b)(1) of the Code, the federal tax return of the Trust for its
first taxable year shall provide an election for the Trust, excluding the Pre-
Funding Account and Capitalized Interest Account, to be treated as a REMIC under
the Code for such taxable year and all subsequent taxable years, and the Trustee
shall sign such return. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Trustee (at the
direction of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer), the Originator, the
Seller and the Servicer shall take, or refrain from taking, all such action as
is necessary to maintain the status of the Trust as a REMIC under the REMIC
Provisions of the Code, including, but not limited to, the taking of such action
as is necessary to cure any inadvertent termination of REMIC status. For
purposes of the REMIC election, (i) the Certificates shall be designated as the
"regular interests" in the REMIC and (ii) the Class C Certificate shall be
designated as the sole class of "residual interests" in the REMIC. The Trustee
shall not permit the creation of any "interests" in the REMIC (within the
meaning of Section 860G of the Code) other than the interests represented by the
Certificates and the Class C Certificate.

     b.   The Certificates are being issued in fourteen classes. The following
terms of the Certificates are irrevocably established as of the Closing Date:

     c.   The Closing Date, which is the day on which the Trust will issue all
of its regular and residual interests, is hereby designated as the "startup day"
of the REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code.

     d.   After the Closing Date, neither the Trustee, the Originator, the
Seller nor any Servicer shall (i) accept any contribution of assets to the
Trust, (ii) dispose of any portion of the Trust other than as provided in
Sections 3.06, 3.07 and 8.06, (iii) engage in any transaction that would result
in the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions," as defined in Section
860F(a)(1) of the Code, (iv) accept any contribution after the Closing Date that
is subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code or (v) engage in
any activity or enter into any agreement that would result in the receipt by the
Trust of any "net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section
860G(c)(2) of the Code, unless, prior to any such action set forth in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), the Trustee shall have received an unqualified
Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust, stating
that such action will not, directly or indirectly, (A) adversely affect the
status of the REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Certificates and Class C
Certificate as "regular interests" and the sole class of "residual interests,"
respectively, in the REMIC, in each case for federal income tax purposes, (B)
affect the distributions payable hereunder to the Certificateholders or the
Class C Certificateholder or (C) result in the imposition of any lien, charge or

     e.   Upon the acquisition of any real property (including interests in real
property), or any personal property incident thereto, in connection with the
default of a Loan, the Servicer and the Trustee (at the direction of the
Servicer) shall take, or cause to be taken, such action as is necessary to sell
or otherwise dispose of such property within such period as is then required by

                                      2-6
<PAGE>

the Code in order for such property to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Servicer and the
Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the
Trust of such property subsequent to the period then permitted by the Code will
not result in the imposition of any taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the
Trust, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the REMIC to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Certificates or Class C Certificate are
outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such real
property, or any personal property incident thereto, so that such property will
not fail to qualify as "foreclosure property," as defined in Section 860G(a)(8)
of the Code, and that the management, conservation, protection and operation of
such property will not result in the receipt by the REMIC of any income
attributable to any asset which is neither a qualified mortgage nor a permitted
investment within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.

     SECTION 2.06.  Seller Option to Substitute for Prepaid Loans. The Seller
                    ---------------------------------------------
may, at its option, substitute new loans for Loans as to which a Principal
Prepayment in Full has been received by the Servicer prior to January 29, 2001
("Prepaid Loans"), up to a maximum of 5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal
Balance, upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

          (i)    the Seller shall have conveyed to the Trustee the Loan to be
     substituted for the Prepaid Loan and the Loan File related to such Loan and
     the Seller shall have marked the Electronic Ledger indicating that such
     Loan constitutes part of the Trust;

          (ii)   the Loan to be substituted is an Eligible Substitute Loan and
     the Seller delivers an Officers' Certificate, substantially in the form of
     Exhibit J-3 hereto, to the Trustee certifying that such Loan is an Eligible
     Substitute Loan;

          (iii)  the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee evidence of
     filing of a UCC-1 financing statement executed by the Seller as debtor,
     naming the Trustee as secured party and filed in Minnesota, listing such
     Loan to be substituted as collateral;

          (iv)   such substitution shall be accomplished prior to the
     Determination Date immediately following the calendar month in which the
     Principal Prepayment in Full was received by the Servicer, and no such
     substitution shall take place after February 12, 2001;

          (v)    the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
     Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Loan for such
     Prepaid Loan will not cause the REMIC comprising the Trust to fail to
     qualify as a REMIC at any time under then applicable REMIC Provisions or
     cause any "prohibited transaction" that will result in the imposition of a
     tax under such REMIC Provisions and (b) to the effect of paragraph 11 of
     Exhibit F hereto; and

          (vi)   if the Principal Prepayment in Full received in respect of such
     Prepaid Loan is greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loan to
     be substituted, such excess shall be distributed to Certificateholders on
     the related Payment Date as a prepayment of principal.

                                      2-7
<PAGE>

     Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Loan to be
substituted to the List of Loans.

     Any substitutions pursuant to this Section 2.06 may be accomplished on a
loan-by-loan basis or on an aggregate basis as to all Prepaid Loans with respect
to a given calendar month.

                        REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                        ------------------------------

     The Seller and the Originator make the following representations and
warranties.  The Trustee will rely on the representations and warranties in

constitute the sole remedies available to the Trust, the Certificateholders or
the Class C Certificateholder for a breach of a representation or warranty set
forth in Sections 2.03, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 of this Agreement, or in the
Officer's Certificates delivered pursuant to Sections 2.02(j) or 2.03(b)(vii) of

          ------------------------------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to own its assets
and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Seller is
duly qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing
in each jurisdiction in which the character of the business transacted by it or
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 Seller.

     b.   Authorization; Binding Obligations. The Seller has the power and

     b.   Payments. As of its Cut-off Date, no scheduled payment due under the
          --------
Loan was delinquent over 30 days.

          -------------------------
altered or modified in any respect, except by instruments or documents
identified in the Loan File. All costs, fees and expenses incurred in making,
closing and perfecting the lien of the Loan have been paid. The subject real
property has not been released from the lien of such Loan.

     d.   Binding Obligation. The Loan is the legal, valid and binding
          ------------------
obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its

     e.   No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to any right of rescission,

executed a valid blanket assignment of the Loans transferred to the Seller, and
has transferred all its right, title and interest in such Loans, including all

connection with the Originator's normal banking transactions in the conduct of
its business, which hypothecation terminates upon sale of the Loan to the
Seller.  The Originator has good and marketable title to the Loan, free and
clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim, lien or
encumbrance of any type and has full right to transfer the Loan to the Seller.

the Loan was not less than 80% of the "adjusted issue price" (in each case
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) of such Loan.

     w.   Interest Rate and Payment Amount Adjustments.  With respect to each
          --------------------------------------------
Adjustable Rate Loan, the Loan Interest Rate and monthly payment have been
adjusted in accordance with the terms of the Loan.  All required notices of
interest rate and payment amount adjustments have been sent to the Obligor on a
timely basis and the computations of such adjustments were properly calculated.
All Loan Interest Rate adjustments have been made in strict compliance with
state and federal law and the terms of the related Loan.

     x.   Adjustable Rate Loans. If an Adjustable Rate Loan, it is covered by an
          ---------------------
American Land Title Association lender's title insurance policy, with an
adjustable rate mortgage endorsement, such endorsement substantially in the form

     substituted for the Replaced Loan and the Loan File related to such Loan
     and the Originator shall have marked the Electronic Ledger indicating that
     such Loan constitutes part of the Trust;

          (ii)   the Loan to be substituted is an Eligible Substitute Loan and
     the Originator delivers an Officer's Certificate, substantially in the form
     of Exhibit J-2 hereto, to the Trustee certifying that such Loan is an
     Eligible Substitute Loan;

          (iii)  the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee evidence of
     filing of a UCC-1 financing statement executed by the Originator as debtor,
     naming the Seller as secured party and filed in Minnesota, listing such
     Loan to be substituted as collateral;

          (iv)   the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
     of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Loan for such
     Replaced Loan will not cause the REMIC comprising the Trust to fail to
     qualify as a REMIC at any time under then applicable REMIC Provisions or
     cause any "prohibited transaction" that will result in the imposition of a
     tax under such REMIC Provisions and (b) to the effect of paragraph 9 of
     Exhibit F hereto; and

          (v)    if the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced Loan is
     greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loan to be substituted,
     the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller for deposit in the
     Certificate Account the amount of such excess and shall have included in
     the Officer's Certificate required by clause (ii) above a certification
     that such deposit has been made.

     Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Loan to be
substituted to, and delete such Replaced Loan from, the List of Loans.  Such
substitution shall be effected prior to the first Determination Date that occurs
more than 90 days after the Originator becomes aware, or should have become
aware, or receives written notice from the Trustee, of the breach referred to in
Section 3.06(a).  Promptly after any such substitution of a Loan, the Originator
shall give written notice of such substitution to each of the Rating Agencies.

     c.   If the Originator is required to repurchase a Loan under Section
3.06(a) or has elected to substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan for a Loan
under Section 3.06(b), and if the reason for such repurchase or substitution is
that the Originator has failed to deliver to the Trustee the Loan File for the
Loan to be repurchased or substituted for (except in the case of a failure to
deliver evidence of the lien on the related improved property and evidence of
due recording of such mortgage, deed of trust or security deed, if available),
then, notwithstanding the time periods set out in Sections 3.06(a) and 3.06(b),
the Originator shall either (i) repurchase such Loan, at its respective
Repurchase Price, within 30 days of the Closing Date, or (ii) substitute an
Eligible Substitute Loan for the Loan within 90 days of the Closing Date.

     d.   The Originator shall defend and indemnify the Seller, the Trustee, the
Certificateholders, and the Class C Certificateholder against all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any of them as
a result of any third-party action arising out of any breach of any such
representation and warranty.

     SECTION 3.07.  No Repurchase Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding
                    -----------------------------------------
any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no repurchase or substitution
pursuant to Section 3.06 shall be made unless the Originator (at its own
expense) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee
that any such repurchase or substitution would not, under the REMIC Provisions,
(i) cause the REMIC comprising the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC while any
regular interest in such REMIC is outstanding, (ii) result in a tax on
prohibited transactions within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or
(iii) constitute a contribution after the startup day subject to tax under
Section 860G(d) of the Code. The Originator diligently shall attempt to obtain
such Opinion of Counsel. In the case of a repurchase or deposit pursuant to
Section 3.06(a) or (b), the Originator shall, notwithstanding the absence of
such opinion as to the imposition of any tax as the result of such purchase or
deposit, repurchase such Loan or make such deposit and shall guarantee the
payment of such tax by paying to the Trustee the amount of such tax not later
than five Business Days before such tax shall be due and payable to the extent
that amounts previously paid over to and then held by the Trustee pursuant to
Section 6.06 are insufficient to pay such tax and all other taxes chargeable
under Section 6.06. Pursuant to Section 6.06, the Servicer is hereby directed to
withhold, and shall withhold and pay over to the Trustee, an amount sufficient
to pay such tax and any other taxes imposed on "prohibited transactions" under
Section 860F(a)(i) of the Code or imposed on "contributions after startup date"
under Section 860G(d) of the Code from amounts otherwise distributable to the
Class C Certificateholder. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee at the
time of such repurchase of the amounts due from the Originator pursuant to the
guarantee of the Originator described above and give notice as to who should
receive such payment.

     The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any such amounts pursuant to
this Section other than from moneys provided to it by the Originator or from
moneys held in the funds and accounts created under this Agreement.  The Trustee
shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with this Section if it follows
the directions of the Originator.

     In the event any tax that is guaranteed by the Originator pursuant to this
Section 3.07 is refunded to the Trust or otherwise is determined not to be
payable, the Originator shall be repaid the amount of such refund or that
portion of any guarantee payment made by the Originator that is not applied to
the payment of such tax.

     SECTION 3.08.  Negative Covenants of the Trust. Except as otherwise
                    -------------------------------
expressly permitted by this Agreement, the Trust shall not:

     a.   sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of any of the assets of
the Trust;

     b.   dissolve or liquidate in whole or in part;

     c.   engage, directly or indirectly, in any business other than that
arising out of the issue of the Certificates, and the actions contemplated or
required to be performed under this Agreement;

     d.   incur, create or assume any indebtedness for borrowed money other than
the Certificates;

                                     3-11
<PAGE>

     e.   voluntarily file a petition for bankruptcy, reorganization, assignment
for the benefit of creditors or similar proceeding; or

     f.   merge, convert or consolidate with any other Person.

          PERFECTION OF TRANSFER AND PROTECTION OF SECURITY INTERESTS
          -----------------------------------------------------------

     SECTION 4.01.  Transfer of Loans.
                    -----------------

     a.   On or prior to the Closing Date, or the related Subsequent Transfer
Date in the case of Subsequent Loans, the Originator shall deliver the Loan
Files to the Trustee. The Trustee shall maintain the Loan Files at its office or
with a duly appointed Custodian, who shall act as the agent of the Trustee on
behalf of the Certificateholders. The Trustee may release a Loan File to the
Servicer pursuant to Section 5.07. The Originator has filed a form UCC-1
financing statement regarding the sale of the Loans to the Seller, and shall
file continuation statements in respect of such UCC-1 financing statement as if
such financing statement were necessary to perfect the security interest granted
pursuant to Section 2.01. The Originator shall take any other actions necessary
to maintain the perfection of such security interest.

     b.   The Originator has delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the execution and recording of the assignments of the mortgages,
deeds of trust and security deeds securing the Loans is not necessary, in any
jurisdiction other than the State of Maryland, to effect the assignment to the
Trustee of the Originator's lien on the real property securing each Loan. The
Originator will, or will cause the Trustee, at the Originator's expense, to file
in the appropriate recording offices within 60 days of the Closing Date, each
mortgage, deed of trust and security deed that encumbers real property located
in Maryland.

     SECTION 4.02.  Costs and Expenses. The Originator agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with the vesting (including the
perfection and the maintenance of perfection, as against all third parties) in
the Trust of all right, title and interest in and to the Loans (including,
without limitation, the mortgage or deed of trust on the related real estate
granted thereby).

                                  ARTICLE V.
                              SERVICING OF LOANS
                              ------------------

     SECTION 5.01.  Responsibility for Loan Administration. The Servicer will
                    --------------------------------------
have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service and make collections on
the Loans and perform or cause to be performed all contractual and customary
undertakings of the holder of the Loans to the Obligor. Conseco Finance Corp.,
if it is the Servicer, may delegate some or all of its servicing duties to a
wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp., for so long as such subsidiary
remains, directly or indirectly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance
Corp. Notwithstanding any such delegation, Conseco Finance Corp. shall retain
all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. The Trustee, at the
request of a Servicing Officer, shall furnish the Servicer with any powers of
attorney or other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to
carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder. Conseco Finance
Corp. is hereby appointed the Servicer until such time as any Service Transfer
shall be effected under Article VII.

     The Servicer shall, with respect to each Adjustable Rate Loan, make
adjustments to the interest rate and the payments due on such Loan in compliance
with applicable regulatory adjustable mortgage loan requirements and the terms
of the Loan.  The Servicer shall establish procedures to monitor the interest
rate adjustment dates and the interest rate in order to assure that it correctly
calculates any applicable interest rate change, and it will comply with those
procedures.  The Servicer shall execute and deliver all appropriate notices
required by the applicable adjustable mortgage loan laws and regulations and the
Loans regarding such interest rate adjustments and payment adjustments.

     SECTION 5.02.  Standard of Care. In managing, administering, servicing and
                    ----------------
making collections on the Loans 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 loans
(including manufactured housing contracts) serviced by the Servicer; provided,
                                                                     --------
however, that such degree of skill and care shall be at least as favorable as
-------
the degree of skill and care generally applied by prudent servicers of home
equity loans for prudent institutional investors.

     SECTION 5.03.  Records. The Servicer shall, during the period it is
                    -------
servicer hereunder, maintain such books of account and other records as will
enable the Trustee to determine the status of each Loan.

     SECTION 5.04.  Inspection.
                    ----------

     a.   At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business hours
to the Servicer's records relating to the Loans, which have not previously been
provided to the Trust, and will cause its personnel to assist in any examination
of such records by the Trustee. The examination referred to in this Section will
be conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the
Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without
otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the Trustee may make, the
Trustee may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of
each Loan and review the Electronic Ledger and records relating

                                      5-1
<PAGE>

thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Article VI and
compliance with the standards represented to exist as to each Loan in this
Agreement.

     b.   At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available
a copy of the List of Loans at its principal executive office for inspection by
Certificateholders.

     c.   A Certificateholder holding Certificates representing in the aggregate
at least 5% of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance shall have the rights
of inspection afforded to the Trustee pursuant to this Section 5.04.

     SECTION 5.05.  Certificate Account.
                    -------------------

     a.   On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the
Certificate Account on behalf of the Trust, which shall be an Eligible Account.
The Servicer shall pay into the Certificate Account, as promptly as practicable
(but not later than the next Business Day) following receipt thereof, all
amounts received with respect to the Loans, other than extension fees and
assumption fees, which fees shall be retained by the Servicer as compensation
for servicing the Loans, and other than Liquidation Expenses permitted by
Section 5.08. The Trustee shall hold all amounts paid into the Certificate
Account under this Agreement in trust for the Trustee, the Certificateholders
and the Class C Certificateholder until payment of any such amounts is
authorized under this Agreement. Only the Trustee may withdraw funds from the
Certificate Account.

     b.   If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the
Certificate Account shall, in the name of the Trustee in its capacity as such,
invest the amounts in the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments that
mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Payment
Date. Any investment of funds in the Certificate Account shall be made in
Eligible Investments held by a financial institution in accordance with the
following requirements: (1) all Eligible Investments shall be held in an account
with such financial institution in the name of the Trustee, and the agreement
governing such account shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota,
(2) with respect to securities held in such account, such securities shall be
(i) certificated securities (as such term is used in N.Y. U.C.C. (S) 8-
102(4)(i)), securities deemed to be certificated securities under applicable
regulations of the United States government, or uncertificated securities issued
by an issuer organized under the laws of the State of New York or the State of
Delaware, (ii) either (A) in the possession of such institution, (B) in the
possession of a clearing corporation (as such term is used in Minn. Stat. (S) 8-
102(5)) in the State of New York, registered in the name of such clearing
corporation or its nominee, not endorsed for collection or surrender or any
other purpose not involving transfer, not containing any evidence of a right or
interest inconsistent with the Trustee's security interest therein, and held by
such clearing corporation in an account of such institution, (C) held in an
account of such institution with the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the
Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, or (D) in the case of uncertificated
securities, issued in the name of such institution, and (iii) identified, by
book entry or otherwise, as held for the account of, or pledged to, the Trustee
on the records of such institution, and such institution shall have sent the
Trustee a confirmation thereof, and (3) with respect to repurchase obligations
held in such account, such repurchase obligations shall be identified by such
institution, by book entry or otherwise, as held for the account of, or pledged
to, the Trustee on the records of such institution, and the related securities
shall be held

                                      5-2
<PAGE>

in accordance with the requirements of clause (2) above. Once such funds are
invested, such institution shall not change the investment of such funds. All
income and gain from such investments shall be added to the Certificate Account
and distributed on such Payment Date pursuant to Section 8.04. Losses, if any,
realized on amounts in the Certificate Account invested pursuant to this
paragraph shall first be credited against undistributed investment earnings on
amounts in the Certificate Account invested pursuant to this paragraph, and
shall thereafter be deemed to reduce the amount on deposit in the Certificate
Account and otherwise available for distribution to Certificateholders and the
Class C Certificateholder pursuant to Section 8.01. The Servicer and the Trustee
shall in no way be liable for losses on amounts invested in accordance with the
provisions hereof. Funds in the Certificate Account not so invested must be
insured to the extent permitted by law by the Federal Deposit Insurance
Corporation. "Eligible Investments" are any of the following:
              --------------------

          (i)       direct obligations of, and obligations fully guaranteed by,
     the United States of America, or any agency or instrumentality of the
     United States of America the obligations of which are backed by the full
     faith and credit of the United States of America;

          (ii)      (A) demand and time deposits in, certificates of deposit of,
     bankers' acceptances issued by, or federal funds sold by any depository
     institution or trust company (including the Trustee or any Affiliate of the
     Trustee, acting in its commercial capacity) incorporated under the laws of
     the United States of America or any state thereof and subject to
     supervision and examination by federal and/or state authorities, so long
     as, at the time of such investment or contractual commitment providing for
     such investment, the commercial paper or other short-term debt obligations
     of such depository institution or trust company are rated at least A-1+ by
     S&P, F-1+ by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and P-1 by Moody's (if rated by
     Moody's) and (B) any other demand or time deposit or certificate of deposit
     which is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;

          (iii)     shares of an investment company registered under the
     Investment Company Act of 1940, whose shares are registered under the
     Securities Act of 1933 and have a rating of AAA by each of the Rating
     Agencies, and whose only investments are in securities described in clauses
     (i) and (ii) above;

          (iv)      repurchase obligations with respect to (A) any security
     described in clause (i) above or (B) any other security issued or
     guaranteed by an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America,
     in either case entered into with a depository institution or trust company
     (acting as principal) described in clause (ii)(A) above;

          (v)       securities bearing interest or sold at a discount issued by
     any corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States of America
     or any State thereof which at the time of such investment has a credit
     rating of at least AA from each of the Rating Agencies that has rated the
     corporation; provided, however, that securities issued by any particular
                  --------  -------
     corporation will not be Eligible Investments to the extent that investment
     therein will cause the then outstanding principal amount of securities
     issued by such corporation and held as part of the corpus of the Trust to
     exceed 10% of amounts held in the Certificate Account;

                                      5-3
<PAGE>

          (vi)      commercial paper having a rating of at least A-1+ from S&P,
     at least F-1+ from Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and at least P-1 from Moody's
     (if rated by Moody's) at the time of such investment;

          (vii)     money market funds rated AAAm or AAAm-G by S&P and at least
     Aa2 by Moody's; and

          (viii)    other obligations or securities that are acceptable to each
     of the Rating Agencies as an Eligible Investment hereunder and will not
     reduce the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by each of the
     Rating Agencies below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating
     assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by each of the Rating
     Agencies, as evidenced in writing;

     provided that any such investment must constitute a "cash flow investment"
     --------
within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.

     The Trustee may trade with itself or an Affiliate in the purchase or sale
of such Eligible Investments.

     c.   If at any time the Trustee receives notice (from any of the Rating
Agencies, the Servicer or otherwise) that the Certificate Account has ceased to
be an Eligible Account, the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable but in no
event later than five Business Days of the Trustee's receipt of such notice,
transfer the Certificate Account and all funds and Eligible Investments therein
to an Eligible Account.  Following any such transfer, the Trustee shall notify
each of the Rating Agencies and the Servicer of the location of the Certificate
Account.

     SECTION 5.06.  Enforcement.
                    -----------

     a.   The Servicer shall, consistent with customary servicing procedures,
act with respect to the Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of
principal and interest on such Loans and Liquidation Proceeds with respect to
Liquidated Loans.

     b.   In accordance with the standard of care specified in Section 5.02, the
Servicer may, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust, commence
proceedings for the foreclosure of any subject real estate, or may take such
other steps that in the Servicer's reasonable judgment will maximize Liquidation
Proceeds with respect to the Loan, including, for example, the sale of the Loan
to a third party for foreclosure or enforcement and, in the case of any default
on a related prior mortgage loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default
and the advancing of funds to pay off a related prior mortgage loan, which
advances are Liquidation Expenses that will be reimbursed to the Servicer out of
related Liquidation Proceeds before the related Net Liquidation Proceeds are
paid to Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder. The Servicer shall
also deposit in the Certificate Account any Net Liquidation Proceeds received in
connection with any Loan which became a Liquidated Loan in a prior Due Period.

     c.   The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon Loans, in its own
name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust. If the Servicer elects to commence
a legal proceeding to enforce a Loan, the act of commencement shall be deemed to
be an automatic assignment of the Loan to the Servicer for purposes of
collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal

                                      5-4
<PAGE>

proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan on the ground
that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Loan, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall, at the Servicer's expense, take
such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Loan, including
bringing suit in its name or the names of the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder.

     d.   The Servicer may grant to the Obligor on any Loan any rebate, refund
or adjustment out of the Certificate Account that the Servicer in good faith
believes is required because of the Principal Prepayment in Full of the Loan.
The Servicer will not permit any rescission or cancellation of any Loan.

     e.   The Servicer shall enforce any due-on-sale clause in a Loan if such
enforcement is called for under its then current servicing policies for
obligations similar to the Loans, provided that such enforcement is permitted by
                                  --------
applicable law and will not adversely affect any applicable insurance policy.
If an assumption of a Loan is permitted by the Servicer, upon conveyance of the
related property the Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain an assumption
agreement in connection therewith.

     f.   Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Servicer shall not agree to the modification or waiver of any provision of a
Loan at a time when such Loan is not in default or such default is not
reasonably foreseeable, if such modification or waiver would both (i) be treated
as a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code or any proposed, temporary
or final Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) cause the Trust to
fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of any tax on "prohibited
transactions" or "contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC
Provisions.

     SECTION 5.07.  Trustee to Cooperate.
                    --------------------

     a.   Upon payment in full on any Loan, the Servicer will notify the Trustee
and Conseco Finance Corp. (if Conseco Finance Corp. is not the Servicer) 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
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so deposited) and shall
request delivery of the Loan and Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt of such
delivery and request, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released
such Loan and Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt of such Loan and Loan
File, each of Conseco Finance Corp. (if different from the Servicer) and the
Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction of such Loan and
to do such other acts and execute such other documents as the Servicer deems
necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and eliminate any lien on the
related real estate. The Servicer shall determine when a Loan has been paid in
full; provided that, to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a
      --------
Loan 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, without any right
of reimbursement therefor (except from additional amounts recovered from the
related Obligor or otherwise in respect of such Loan), and deposited in the
Certificate Account.

                                      5-5
<PAGE>

     b.   From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosing in
connection with a Loan, the Trustee shall, upon written request of a Servicing
Officer and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by such Servicing
Officer, cause the original Loan and the related Loan File to be released to the
Servicer and shall execute such documents as the Servicer shall deem necessary
to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee shall stamp the face of
each such Loan to be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Loan has
been assigned to the Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee
shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by the Servicer and
otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the Certificateholders'
and Class C Certificateholder rights and remedies with respect to Loans.

     c.   The Servicer's receipt of a Loan and/or Loan File shall obligate the
Servicer to return the original Loan and the related Loan File to the Trustee
when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Loan shall be liquidated or
repurchased or replaced as described in Section 3.06 or Section 8.06.

     SECTION 5.08.  Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by the
                    ------------------
Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder, including payment of all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of Loans, foreclosure upon
real estate securing Loans, all other fees and expenses not expressly stated
hereunder to be for the account of the Trust or the Originator, and, while the
Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is Servicer, payment
of the Trustee's fees pursuant to Section 11.06 and fees and expenses of
accountants, shall be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be
entitled to reimbursement hereunder, except as provided in this Section and
Section 8.04 and except that the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of the
Liquidation Proceeds of a Liquidated Loan for customary out-of-pocket
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 Loan. So long as the Servicer is not the Originator or a subsidiary or
affiliate of the Originator, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for any third
party costs incurred by it pursuant to Sections 6.06 or 11.06.

agrees to prepare, make and timely file all federal, state, local or other tax
returns, information statements and other returns and documents of every kind
and nature whatsoever required to be made or filed by or on behalf of the Trust
pursuant to the Code and other applicable tax laws and regulations. Each such
return, statement and document shall, to the extent required by the Code or
other applicable law and at the request of the Servicer, be signed on behalf of
the Trust by the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever
for the accuracy or completeness of any such return, statement or document. The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless for, from, against
and in respect to any and all liability, loss, damage and expense which may be
incurred by the Trustee based upon or as a result of the Trustee's execution of
any and all such tax returns, statements and documents. The Servicer, if and for
so long as it is the Class C Certificateholder, shall be designated the "tax
matters person" on behalf of the Trust in the same manner as a partnership may
designate a "tax matters partner," as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7)

<PAGE>

matters person" on behalf of the Trust if, and during such time as, the Servicer
is not the holder of the Class C Certificate. The Servicer may, at its expense
if the Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is the
Servicer, or subject to reimbursement under Section 5.08 and 8.04(a)(3) if a
successor Servicer, retain such outside assistance as it deems necessary in the
performance of its obligations under this paragraph. The Servicer shall provide
to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of
the person who will serve as the representative of the REMIC.

     Each of the Holders of the Certificates or the Class C Certificate, by
acceptance thereof, agrees to file tax returns consistent with and in accordance
with any elections, decisions or other reports made or filed with regard to
federal, state or local taxes on behalf of the Trust. The Servicer, as tax
matters person or as agent for the tax matters person, shall represent the Trust
in connection with all examinations of the Trust's affairs by tax authorities,
including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings. Each of the Holders
of the Certificates and Class C Certificate, by acceptance thereof, agrees to
cooperate with the Servicer in such matters and to do or refrain from doing any
or all things reasonably required by the Servicer to conduct such proceedings,
provided that no such action shall be required by the Servicer of any
--------
Certificateholder that would entail unnecessary or unreasonable expenses for
such Certificateholder in the performance of such action.

     The Class C Certificateholder shall pay, on behalf of the Trust, any
foreign, federal, state or local income, property, excise, sales, receipts or
any other similar or related taxes or charges which may be imposed upon the
assets of the Trust comprising a REMIC or otherwise and shall, to the extent
provided in Section 10.06, be entitled to be reimbursed out of the Certificate
Account or, if such tax or charge results from a failure by the Trustee, the
Originator or any Servicer to comply with the provisions of Section 2.05 or
3.07, or a failure by any Servicer to comply with the provisions of this Section
6.06, the Trustee, the Originator or such Servicer, as the case may be, shall
indemnify the Class C Certificateholder for the payment of any such tax or
charge. The Trustee shall be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise
distributable to the Class C Certificateholder any taxes or charges payable by
the Class C Certificateholder hereunder.

     In the event a Class C Certificate is transferred to a "disqualified
organization," within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code, pursuant to
Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code the Originator shall provide to the Internal
Revenue Service and the persons specified in Sections 860(E)(e)(5) and (6) of
the Code all information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) and
any other applicable provision of the Code with respect to the transfer of the
Class C Certificate to such disqualified organization including, without
limitation, a computation showing the present value of the total anticipated
excess inclusions with respect to such Class C Certificate for periods after the
transfer as defined in the REMIC Provisions. In addition, to the extent required
by the REMIC Provisions, the Originator shall, upon the written request of
persons designated in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code, furnish to such requesting
party and the Internal Revenue Service information sufficient to compute the
present value of anticipated excess inclusions within 60 days of the receipt of
such written request.

under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or
otherwise (except with respect to the Certificate Account, the transfer of which

administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the
Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Certificate

     SECTION 7.03.  Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the
                    ----------------------------------------
time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.02, the
Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its capacity
as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for
herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities
relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and
the Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities
arising after such Service Transfer; provided, however, that (i) the Trustee
                                     --------  -------
will not assume any obligations of the Originator pursuant to Section 3.06, and
(ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the Servicer
occurring prior to such Service Transfer or for any breach by the Servicer of
any of its obligations contained herein or in any related document or agreement.
As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive reasonable
compensation out of the Monthly Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the
Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is legally
unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the
assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of
the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor
shall agree; provided, however, that no such monthly compensation shall, without
             --------  -------
the written consent of 100% of the Certificateholders, exceed the Monthly
Servicing Fee. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

------

same form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed where required for
the new Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in

other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing or

     SECTION 8.01.  Monthly Payments.
                    ----------------

     a.   Subject to the terms of this Article VIII, each Holder of a
Certificate or the Class C Certificate as of a Record Date shall be paid on the
next succeeding Payment Date by check mailed to such Certificateholder or Class
C Certificateholder at the address for such Certificateholder or Class C
Certificateholder appearing on the Certificate Register (or, if such
Certificateholder holds Certificates of a Class with an aggregate Percentage
Interest of at least 5% of such Class and so requests, by wire transfer pursuant
to instructions delivered to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to such Payment
Date), the sum equal to such Certificateholder's or Class C Certificateholder's
Percentage Interest of the Distribution Amount for its Class. Final payment of
any Certificate or the Class C Certificate shall be made only upon presentation
and surrender of such Certificate or Class C Certificate at the office or agency
of the Paying Agent.

     b.   Each distribution with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate shall be
paid to the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to
the accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal
procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such
distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating
firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for
disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits
and disbursements with respect to a Book-Entry Certificate are to be made by the
Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of
the Book-Entry Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the
Seller nor the Originator shall have any responsibility therefor except as
otherwise provided by applicable law. To the extent applicable and not contrary
to the rules of the Depository, the Trustee shall comply with the provisions of
the form of the Certificates as set forth in Exhibits A through C hereto, and
the Class C Certificate as set forth in Exhibit I hereto.

     c.   The Trustee shall either act as the paying agent or appoint an
Eligible Institution to be the paying agent (in either such case, the "Paying
Agent") to make the payments to the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder required hereunder. The Trustee's corporate trust operations
department, with an office at 180 East Fifth Street, Third Floor, St. Paul,
Minnesota 55101, Attention: Tamara Schultz-Fugh, shall initially act as Paying
Agent. The Trustee shall require the Paying Agent (if other than the Trustee) to
agree in writing that all amounts held by the Paying Agent for payment hereunder
will be held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder and that it will notify the Trustee of any failure by the
Servicer to make funds available to the Paying Agent for the payment of amounts
due on the Certificates and the Class C Certificate.

     SECTION 8.02.  Advances.
                    --------

Servicer shall advance all Delinquent Payments, including insurance and taxes
due, for the immediately preceding Due Period by depositing the aggregate amount
of such Delinquent Payments with respect to any Loan in the Certificate Account;
provided, however, that the Servicer shall be
--------  -------

                                      8-1
<PAGE>

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 funds
subsequently collected with respect to such Loan. If the Servicer fails to
advance all Delinquent Payments required under this Section 8.02, the Trustee
shall be obligated to advance such Delinquent Payments pursuant to Section
11.15.

     b.   The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of an Advance from
payments on the related Loan in accordance with Section 8.04(a).

     SECTION 8.03.  RESERVED.

     SECTION 8.04.  Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account; Payments

     (a)  The Trustee shall, from time to time as provided herein, make
withdrawals from the Certificate Account of amounts deposited in said account
pursuant to Section 5.05 that are attributable to the Loans for the following
purposes:

          (1)  to make payments in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
     Sections 8.04(b) through 8.04(e);

          (2)  to pay to the Originator with respect to each Loan or property
     acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased or replaced pursuant
     to Section 3.06, all amounts received thereon and not required to be
     distributed to Certificateholders as of the date on which the related
     Scheduled Principal Balance or Repurchase Price is determined;

          (3)  to reimburse the Servicer for Advances made as provided in
     Section 8.02(a) and amounts described in 5.08 and to reimburse the Trustee

     was not required to be deposited therein; or

          (5)  to make any rebates or adjustments deemed necessary by the
     Servicer pursuant to Section 5.06(d).

     Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clause (3), the
Servicer's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on
the related Loan, the Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a
Loan by Loan basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the
Certificate Account pursuant to such clause.

     (b)  On each Payment Date, the Trustee shall apply the Amount Available for
the Adjustable Rate Certificates for such Payment Date to make payment in the
following order of priority, subject to Section 8.04(e):

     Average Pass-Through Rate).

     b.   The purchase by the Class C Certificateholder of all of the Loans
pursuant to this Section 8.06 shall be conditioned upon:

          (i)   the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance, at the time of any such
     purchase, aggregating not more than 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal
     Balance,

          (ii)  such purchase being made pursuant to a plan of complete
     liquidation in accordance with Section 860F of the Code, as provided in
     Section 12.04,

          (iii) the Class C Certificateholder having provided the Trustee and
     the Depository (if any) with at least 30 days' written notice, and

          (iv)  the Trustee not having accepted a qualifying bid for the Loans
     pursuant to subsection (e) below.

If such option is exercised, the Class C Certificateholder shall provide to the
Trustee (at the Class C Certificateholder's expense) the certification required
by Section 12.04, which certificate

                                     8-11
<PAGE>

shall constitute a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of Section
860F of the Code, and the Trustee shall promptly sign such certification and
release to the Class C Certificateholder the Loan Files pertaining to the Loans
being purchased.

     c.   The Class C Certificateholder may assign its rights under this Section
8.06, separately from its other rights as Holder of the Class C Certificate, by
giving written notice of such assignment to the Trustee. Following the Trustee's
receipt of such notice of assignment, the Trustee shall recognize only such
assignee (or its assignee in turn) as the Person entitled to exercise the
purchase option set forth in Section 8.06(a).

     d.   The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Class C
Certificateholder (whether or not the Class C Certificateholder has then
assigned its rights under this Section 8.06 pursuant to subsection (c)) no later
than two Business Days after the Determination Date relating to the first Due
Period which includes the date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
first becomes less than 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, to the
effect that the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is then less than 20% of the
Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance.

     e.   If the Class C Certificateholder (or its assignee) has not delivered
to the Trustee the notice of exercise of its purchase option required by
subsection (b) by the Payment Date occurring in the month following the
Determination Date specified in subsection (d), then promptly after the
following Payment Date the Trustee shall begin a process for soliciting bids in
connection with an auction for the Loans. The Trustee shall provide the Class C
Certificateholder (or its assignee) written notice of such auction at least 10
Business Days prior to the date bids must be received in such auction (the
"Auction Date").

     If at least two bids are received, the Trustee shall solicit and resolicit
new bids from all participating bidders until only one bid remains or the
remaining bidders decline to resubmit bids. The Trustee shall accept the highest
of such remaining bids if it is equal to or in excess of the greater of (i) the
Minimum Purchase Price (as defined in Section 8/06(a)) and (ii) the fair market
value of the Loans and related property (such amount being referred to as the
"Minimum Auction Price"). If less than two bids are received or the highest bid
after the resolicitation process is completed is not equal to or in excess of
the Minimum Auction Price, the Trustee shall not consummate such sale. If a bid
meeting the Minimum Purchase Price is received, then the Trustee may, and if so
requested by the Class C Certificateholder shall, consult with a financial
advisor, which may be an underwriter of the Certificates, to determine if the
fair market value of the Loans and related property has been offered.

     If the first auction conducted by the Trustee does not produce any bid at
least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, then the Trustee shall, beginning on
the Payment Date occurring approximately three months after the Auction Date for
the failed first auction, commence another auction in accordance with the
requirements of this subsection (e). If such second auction does not produce any
bid at least equal to the Minimum Auction Price, then the Trustee shall,
beginning on the Payment Date occurring approximately three months after the
Auction Date for the failed second auction, commence another auction in
accordance with the requirements of this subsection (e), and shall continue to
conduct similar auctions approximately every three months thereafter until the
earliest of (i) delivery by the Class C Certificateholder or its assignee of
notice of exercise of its purchase option under subsection (a), (ii) receipt by
the Trustee of a bid

                                     8-12
<PAGE>

meeting the conditions specified in the preceding paragraph, or (iii) the
Payment Date on which the principal balance of all the Loans is reduced to zero.

     If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions specified in this
subsection (e), then the Trustee's written acceptance of such bid shall
constitute a plan of complete liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F of
the Code, and the Trustee shall release to the winning bidder, upon payment of
the bid purchase price, the Loan Files pertaining to the Loans being purchased.

     f.   If the Class C Certificateholder (or its assignee) has not delivered
to the Trustee the notice of exercise of its purchase option required by
subsection (b) by the Payment Date occurring in the month following the
Determination Date specified in subsection (d), then on the following Payment
Date and each Payment Date thereafter the Certificateholders shall be entitled
to receive additional principal distributions in the order of priority described
in Sections 8.04(b)(19), 8.04(c)(10) and 8.04(d)(20).

"Act"), as amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in
 ---
accordance with the Act and laws.  In the event that any such transfer is to be
made, (A) the Originator may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to
and in form and substance satisfactory to the Originator that such transfer may
be made pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the
basis therefor, from the Act and laws or is being made pursuant to the Act and
laws, which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Originator, and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an
investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit K attached hereto, which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Originator.  The
Class C Certificateholder desiring to effect such transfer shall, and does
hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Originator and the Certificate
Registrar against any liability that may result if the transfer is not so exempt
or is not made in accordance with such federal and state laws.

          (2)  No transfer of a Class M, Class B, or Class C Certificate or any
interest therein shall be made to any employee benefit plan that is subject to
ERISA, or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or to any person
or entity purchasing on behalf of, or with assets of, such an employee benefit
plan (each, a "Plan"), unless the Plan, at its expense, delivers to the
Originator and the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel in form satisfactory to the
Originator and the Trustee that the purchase and holding of such Certificate or
Class C Certificate by such Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust
being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Originator, the Seller or the Servicer to any obligation or liability in
addition to those undertaken in this Agreement.  Unless such opinion is
delivered and in the case of Definitive Certificates, each person acquiring such
a Certificate or Class C Certificate will be deemed to represent to the Trustee,
the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer either (i) that such person is
neither a Plan, nor acting on behalf of a Plan, subject to ERISA or to Section
4975 of the Code, or (ii) that the purchase and holding of the Certificate or
Class C Certificate by such Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust
being deemed to be Plan assets and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Originator or the Servicer to any obligation or liability in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement.  The provisions contained in this Section
9.02(b)(2) shall no longer apply to the Class M Certificates if the Seller or
the Servicer delivers to the Trustee an Officer's Certificate stating that
amendments proposed by the United States Department of Labor (the "DOL") to be
made to

                                      9-2

Prohibited Transaction Exemption 90-29, 55 Fed. Reg. 21459 (1990), as amended by
PTE 97-34, 62 Fed. Reg. 39021 (July 21, 1997) and similar exemptions have been
published in final form substantially as proposed in the DOL Exemption
Application No. D-10809, 65 Fed. Reg. 51454 (August 23, 2000).

          (3)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A) no
Class C Certificate, nor any interest therein, shall be transferred, sold or
otherwise disposed of to a "disqualified organization," within the meaning of
Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code (a "Disqualified Organization"), including, but
not limited to, (i) the United States, a state or political subdivision thereof,
a foreign government, an international organization or an agency or
instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (ii) an organization (other than a
cooperative described in Section 521 of the Code) which is exempt from the taxes
imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code and not subject to the tax imposed on unrelated
business income by Section 511 of the Code, or (iii) a cooperative described in
Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the Code, and (B) prior to any registration of any
transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class C Certificate, the proposed
transferee shall deliver to the Trustee, under penalties of perjury, an
affidavit that such transferee is not a Disqualified Organization, with respect
to which the Trustee shall have no actual knowledge that such affidavit is
false, and the transferor and the proposed transferee shall each deliver to the
Trustee an affidavit with respect to any other information reasonably required
by the Trustee pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, including, without limitation,
information regarding the transfer of noneconomic residual interests and
transfers of any residual interest to or by a foreign person; provided, however,
                                                              --------  -------
that, upon the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee and rendered by Independent counsel, to
the effect that the beneficial ownership of a Class C Certificate by any
Disqualified Organization will not result in the imposition of federal income
tax upon the Trust or any Certificateholder or Class C Certificateholder or any
other person or otherwise adversely affect the status of the Trust as a REMIC,
the foregoing prohibition on transfers, sales and other dispositions, as well as
the foregoing requirement to deliver a certificate prior to any registration
thereof, shall, with respect to such Disqualified Organization, terminate.
Notwithstanding any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class C
Certificate, or any interest therein, to a Disqualified Organization or the
registration thereof in the Certificate Register, such transfer, sale or other
disposition and any registration thereof, unless accompanied by the Opinion of
Counsel described in the preceding sentence, shall be deemed to be void and of
no legal force or effect whatsoever and such Disqualified Organization shall be
deemed not to be a Class C Certificateholder for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on a Class C
Certificate, and shall be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in a Class C
Certificate.  Each Class C Certificateholder, by his acceptance thereof, shall
be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the provisions of this Section
9.02(b)(3).

          (4)  Any transfer, sale or other disposition not in compliance with
the provisions of this Section 9.02(b) shall be deemed to be void and of no
legal force or effect whatsoever and such transferee shall be deemed not to be
the Certificateholder or Class C Certificateholder, as applicable, for any
purpose hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions
on the Certificate or Class C Certificate, and shall be deemed to have no
interest whatsoever in the Certificate or Class C Certificate.

                                      9-3

          (5)  The Trustee shall give notice to the Rating Agencies promptly
following any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class C Certificate.

     c.   At the option of a Certificateholder or a Class C Certificateholder,
Certificates and the Class C Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates
or Class C Certificate of authorized denominations of a like aggregate original
denomination, upon surrender of such Certificates or the Class C Certificate to
be exchanged at the Corporate Trust Office.  Whenever any Certificates or the
Class C Certificate are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute
and deliver the Certificates or Class C Certificate which the Certificateholder
or Class C Certificateholder making the exchange is entitled to receive.  Every
Certificate or Class C Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by, the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly
authorized in writing.

     d.   Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, the Book-Entry Certificates
shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and at all times: (i) registration of such Certificates may not be
transferred by the Trustee except to another Depository; (ii) the Depository
shall maintain book-entry records with respect to the Certificate Owners and
with respect to ownership and transfers of such Certificates; (iii) ownership
and transfers of registration of such Certificates on the books of the
Depository shall be governed by applicable rules established by the Depository;
(iv) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants; (v) the Trustee shall deal with the
Depository, Depository Participants and indirect participating firms as
representatives of the Certificate Owners of such Certificates for purposes of
exercising the rights of Holders under this Agreement, and requests and
directions for and votes of such representatives shall not be deemed to be
inconsistent if they are made with respect to different Certificate Owners; and
(vi) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants and furnished by the Depository Participants with respect to
indirect participating firms and persons shown on the books of such indirect
participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate Owners.

     All transfers by Certificate Owners of Book-Entry Certificates shall be
made in accordance with the procedures established by the Depository Participant
or brokerage firm representing such Certificate Owner.  Each Depository
Participant shall only transfer Book-Entry Certificates of Certificate Owners it
represents or of brokerage firms for which it acts as agent in accordance with
the Depository's normal procedures.

     e.   If (x)(i) the Seller or the Depository advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (ii) the Trustee or the Originator is unable
to locate a qualified successor or (y) the Originator at its sole option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
definitive, fully registered Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to
Certificate Owners requesting the same. Upon surrender to the Trustee of the
Certificates by the Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from
the Depository for registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive

                                      9-4
<PAGE>

Certificates. Neither the Originator nor the Trustee shall be liable for any
delay in delivery of such instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall
be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the issuance of Definitive
Certificates all references herein to obligations imposed upon or to be
performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed upon and performed by
the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such Definitive
Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of the Definitive
Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.

     f.   On or prior to the Closing Date, there shall be delivered to the
Depository one Class AV-1 Certificate, one Class MV-1 Certificate, one Class MV-
2 Certificate, one Class BV-1 Certificate, one Class BV-2 Certificate, one Class
AF-1A Certificate, one Class AF-1 Certificate, one Class AF-2 Certificate, one
Class AF-3 Certificate, one Class AF-4 Certificate, one Class MF-1 Certificate,
one Class MF-2 Certificate, one Class BF-1 Certificate, and one Class BF-2
Certificate, each in registered form registered in the name of the Depository's
nominee, Cede & Co., the total face amount of which represents 100% of the
Original Class Principal Balance of each Class, respectively. Each such
Certificate registered in the name of the Depository's nominee shall bear the
following legend:

     "Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC") to the Trustee or
its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein."

     g.   Each of the Certificates and the Class C Certificate shall be a
"security" for purposes of Section 8-102(a)(15) of the Uniform Commercial Code
and shall be governed by such Article 8 as in effect in the State of Minnesota
from time to time.

     SECTION 9.03.  No Charge; Disposition of Void Certificates or Class C
                    ------------------------------------------------------
Certificate. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder or Class C
-----------
Certificateholder for any transfer or exchange of a Certificate or a Class C
Certificate, but the Certificate Registrar may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of a Certificate or a Class C
Certificate.  All Certificates and Class C Certificate surrendered for transfer
and exchange shall be disposed of in a manner approved by the Trustee.

     SECTION 9.04.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates or Class C
                    ------------------------------------------------------------
Certificate. If (a) any mutilated Certificate or Class C Certificate is
-----------
surrendered to the Certificate Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives
evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any
Certificate or Class C Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to the
Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by each to save it harmless, then in the absence of notice to the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee that such Certificate or Class C
Certificate has been acquired by a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall
execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen

                                      9-5
<PAGE>

Certificate or Class C Certificate, a new Certificate or Class C Certificate of
like tenor and original denomination. Upon the issuance of any new Certificate
or Class C Certificate under this Section 9.04, the Trustee may require the
payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that
may be imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.
Any duplicate Certificate or Class C Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
9.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the
Percentage Interest, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate or Class C Certificate shall be found at
any time.

     SECTION 9.05.  Persons Deemed Owners. Prior to due presentation of a
                    ---------------------
Certificate or Class C Certificate for registration of transfer, the Servicer,
the Seller, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Registrar may
treat the person in whose name any Certificate or Class C Certificate is
registered as the owner of such Certificate or Class C Certificate for the
purpose of receiving remittances pursuant to Section 8.01 and for all other
purposes whatsoever, and none of the Servicer, the Seller, the Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar, the Paying Agent or any agent of the Servicer, the
Seller, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar shall be
affected by notice to the contrary.

     SECTION 9.06.  Access to List of Certificateholders' and Class C
                    -------------------------------------------------
Certificateholder's Names and Addresses. The Certificate Registrar will furnish
---------------------------------------
to the Trustee and the Servicer, within five days after receipt by the
Certificate Registrar of a request therefor from the Trustee in writing, a list,
in such form as the Trustee may reasonably require, of the names and addresses
of the Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder as of the most
recent Record Date. If Holders of Certificates representing, in the aggregate,
25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance apply in writing to
the Trustee (hereinafter referred to as "Applicants"), and such application
states that the Applicants desire to communicate with other Certificateholders
or the Class C Certificateholder with respect to their rights under this
Agreement or under the Certificates or the Class C Certificate and is
accompanied by a copy of the communication which such Applicants propose to
transmit, then the Trustee shall, within five Business Days after the receipt of
such application, afford such Applicants access during normal business hours to
the most recent list of Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder
held by the Trustee. If such list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the
date of receipt of such Applicants' request, the Trustee shall promptly request
from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall
afford such Applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt. Every
Certificateholder and the Class C Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a
Certificate or a Class C Certificate, agrees with the Certificate Registrar and
the Trustee that none of the Originator, the Certificate Registrar or the
Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such
information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders or the Class
C Certificateholder hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.

     SECTION 9.07.  Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more
                    ---------------------
Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its
direction in the execution and delivery of the Certificates or the Class C
Certificate. For all purposes of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of
Certificates or the Class C Certificate by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to
this Section shall be deemed to be the execution and delivery of Certificates or
the Class C Certificate "by the Trustee."

                                  INDEMNITIES
                                  -----------

     SECTION 10.01.  Real Estate. The Seller and Originator will jointly and
                     -----------
severally defend and indemnify the Trust, the Trustee (including the Custodian
and any other agents of the Trustee) and the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims
and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses
of litigation arising out of or resulting from the use or ownership of any real
estate related to a Loan by the Originator or the Servicer or any Affiliate of
either. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of
the Originator under this Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer
pursuant to Article VII, except that the obligation of the Originator under this
Section shall not relate to the actions of any subsequent Servicer after a
Service Transfer.

     SECTION 10.02.  Liabilities to Obligors. No obligation or liability to any
                     -----------------------
Obligor under any of the Loans is intended to be assumed by the Trust, the
Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholder under or as a result of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the maximum extent
permitted and valid under mandatory provisions of law, the Trust, the
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder expressly disclaim such
assumption.

     SECTION 10.03.  Tax Indemnification. The Originator agrees to pay, and to
                     -------------------
indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Trust, the Trustee (including the
Custodian and any other agents of the Trustee), the Certificateholders and the
Class C Certificateholder from, any taxes which may at any time be asserted with
respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the Loans to the Trust,
including, without limitation, any sales, gross receipts, general corporation,
personal property, privilege or license taxes (but not including any federal,
state or other taxes arising out of the creation of the Trust and the issuance
of the Certificates and the Class C Certificate) and costs, expenses and
reasonable counsel fees in defending against the same, whether arising by reason
of the acts to be performed by the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the
Trustee under this Agreement or imposed against the Trust, a Certificateholder,
the Class C Certificateholder or otherwise.

     SECTION 10.04.  Servicer's Indemnities. The Servicer shall defend and
                     ----------------------
indemnify the Trust, the Trustee (including the Custodian and any other agents
of the Trustee), the Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder
against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities,
including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation, in
respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Servicer with respect
to any Loan. This indemnity shall survive any Service Transfer (but the original
Servicer's obligations under this Section 10.04 shall not relate to any actions
of any subsequent Servicer after a Service Transfer) and any payment of the
amount owing under, or any repurchase by the Originator of, any such Loan.

     SECTION 10.05.  Operation of Indemnities. Indemnification under this
                     ------------------------
Article shall include, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of
counsel and expenses of litigation. If the Originator or the Servicer has made
any indemnity payments to the Trustee pursuant to this

                                     10-1
<PAGE>

Article and the Trustee thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the
Trust will repay such amounts collected to the Originator or the Servicer, as
the case may be, without interest.

     SECTION 10.06.  REMIC Tax Matters. If a Class C Certificateholder,
                     -----------------
pursuant to Section 6.06, pays any taxes or charges imposed upon the Trust, as a
REMIC or otherwise, such taxes or charges, except to the extent set forth in the
following proviso, shall be expenses and costs of the Trust and the Class C
Certificateholder shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Certificate Account as provided in Section 8.04; provided, however, that any
                                                 --------  -------
such taxes or charges shall not be expenses or costs of the Trust, nor will the
Class C Certificateholder be entitled to reimbursement therefor out of the
Certificate Account, if and to the extent that such taxes or charges resulted
from a failure (i) by the Originator, the Trustee or any Servicer to comply with
the provisions of Section 2.05, (ii) by any Servicer to comply with the
provisions of Section 6.06, or (iii) by the Trustee to execute any tax returns
pursuant to Section 11.11.

                                  -----------

     SECTION 11.01.  Duties of Trustee. The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of
                     -----------------
an Event of Termination and after the curing of all Events of Termination which
may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are
specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Termination has
occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee shall exercise such of the
rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of
care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under
the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs.

     The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.

     Subject to Section 11.03, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed
to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own
negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that:
                                                --------  -------

     a.   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination, and after the
curing of all such Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and
obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions
of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of
such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no
implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the
Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee
may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of
the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to
the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement;

     b.   The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good
faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that
the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts;

     c.   The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action
taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with
the direction of the Certificateholders representing, in the aggregate, 25% or
more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance relating to the time, method
and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee,
or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this
Agreement; and

     d.   The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any event referred
to in Section 7.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate
Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Trustee receives
written notice of such event from the Servicer or the Certificateholders
representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance.

                                     11-1
<PAGE>

     None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event
require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance
of, any of the obligations of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer under
this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the
successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of,
the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  The Trustee shall
not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise
of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that
the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability
is not reasonably assured to it.

     SECTION 11.02.  Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise
                     -------------------------------------
provided in Section 11.01:

     a.   The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining
from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of a
Servicing Officer, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement,
instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or
other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or
presented by the proper party or parties;

     b.   The Trustee may consult with counsel and any opinion of any counsel
for the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer shall be full and complete
authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or
omitted by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such
Opinion of Counsel;

     c.   The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights
or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any
litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction
of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement,
unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be
incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein
                             --------  -------
shall relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Termination (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and
powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and
skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the
circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs;

     d.   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and after the
curing of all Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall
not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice,
request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless
requested in writing so to do by Certificateholders representing, in the
aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance; provided,
                                                                       --------
however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the
-------
costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such
investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the
Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the
Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability
as a condition to so proceeding.  The reasonable expense of every such
examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, if paid by the Trustee, shall be
reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand; and

                                     11-2

     e.   The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or
perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or
attorneys or a custodian and shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of
such agents, attorneys or custodians if appointed by it with due care hereunder.

     SECTION 11.03.  Trustee Not Liable for Certificates, Class C Certificate or
                     -----------------------------------------------------------
Loans. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the recitals
-----
contained herein, in the Certificates or in the Class C Certificate (other than
the Trustee's execution thereof).  The Trustee makes no representations as to
the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of the Certificates or of the
Class C Certificate (other than its execution thereof) or of any Loan, Loan File
or related document.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Servicer, the Originator or the Seller of funds paid to the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable in consideration of conveyance of the
Loans to the Trust by the Originator and the Seller or deposited in or withdrawn
from the Certificate Account by the Servicer.

     SECTION 11.04.  Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual
                     ----------------------------
or other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates representing
less than all the beneficial interest in the Trust with the same rights as it
would have if it were not Trustee.

     SECTION 11.05.  Rights of Certificateholders to Direct Trustee and to Waive
                     -----------------------------------------------------------
Events of Termination. Holders of Certificates representing, in the aggregate,
---------------------
25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance shall have the right
to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy
available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the
Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section 11.01, the Trustee shall
         --------  -------
have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being
advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be
taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or
Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be
illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the
rights of Certificateholders not parties to such direction; and provided,
                                                                --------
further that nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to
-------
take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with
such direction by the Certificateholders. Holders of the Certificates
representing, in the aggregate, 51% or more of the Aggregate Certificate
Principal Balance may on behalf of all Certificateholders waive any past Event
of Termination hereunder and its consequences, except a default in respect of a
                                               ------
covenant or provision hereof which under Section 12.08 cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of all Certificateholders, and upon any such waiver,
such Event of Termination shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Event of Termination or impair any right consequent
thereon.

     SECTION 11.06.  The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The
                     -----------------------------------------------
Servicer agrees:

     a.   to pay to the Trustee reasonable compensation for all services
rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any
provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust)
including the services provided in connection with any auctions pursuant to
Section 8.06(e);

                                     11-3
<PAGE>

     b.   except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
Trustee, to the extent requested by the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with
any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the
expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel, and reasonable
compensation, expenses and disbursements in connection with any auctions
pursuant to Section 8.06(e)), except any such expense, disbursement or advance
as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

     c.   to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any
loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part,
arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the
Trust and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending
itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or
performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder.

     The covenants in this Section 11.06 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee
in its capacities as Trustee, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar hereunder,
and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  If any entity other than
the Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is the Servicer,
the Servicer shall be reimbursed for any costs and expenses incurred by it in
this Section 11.06 pursuant to Sections 5.08 and 8.04(a)(3).

     SECTION 11.07.  Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee hereunder
                     ------------------------------------
shall at all times be a financial institution organized and doing business under
the laws of the United States of America or any State, authorized under such
laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and shall have a combined capital and
surplus of at least $50,000,000 or shall be a member of a bank holding system
the aggregate combined capital and surplus of which is $50,000,000, provided
                                                                    --------
that the Trustee's separate capital and surplus shall at all times be at least
the amount required by Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended. If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually,
pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority,
then for the purposes of this Section 11.07, the combined capital and surplus of
such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth
in its most recent report of condition so published. In addition, the Trustee
(or, if the Trustee is U.S. Bank Trust National Association, the parent company
of U.S. Bank Trust National Association) shall at all times have (a) a long-term
deposit rating from S&P of at least BBB or as shall be otherwise acceptable to
S&P, (b) have a long-term deposit rating from Fitch of at least BBB or as shall
be otherwise acceptable to Fitch and (c) a long-term deposit rating from Moody's

time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of
this Section 11.07, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with
the effect specified in Section 11.08.

     SECTION 11.08.  Resignation or Removal of Trustee. The Trustee may at any
                     ---------------------------------
time resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby created by giving written
notice thereof to the Servicer and the Originator. Upon receiving such notice of
resignation, the Originator shall promptly appoint a successor Trustee by
written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to each of the Servicer and the Originator and one copy to the
successor Trustee. If no successor Trustee shall have been so appointed and
shall have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice
of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Trustee.

                                     11-4
<PAGE>

     If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11.07 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Originator, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally
unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Originator may
remove the Trustee.  If the Originator shall have removed the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Originator shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.08 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided
in Section 11.09.

     SECTION 11.09.  Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as
                     -----------------
provided in Section 11.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the
Servicer, the Originator and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting
such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the
predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without
any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like
effect as if originally named as Trustee. The predecessor Trustee shall deliver
or cause to be delivered to the successor Trustee the Loans and the Loan Files
and any related documents and statements held by it hereunder; and, if the Loans
are then held by a Custodian pursuant to a custodial agreement, the predecessor
Trustee and the Custodian shall amend such custodial agreement to make the
successor Trustee the successor to the predecessor Trustee thereunder; and the
Servicer, the Originator and the predecessor Trustee shall execute and deliver
such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably be required for
fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor Trustee all such
rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
11.09 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 11.07.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section 11.09, the Servicer shall cause notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to be mailed to the Rating Agencies and to each Certificateholder and
the Class C Certificateholder at their addresses as shown in the Certificate
Register.  If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after
acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor Trustee shall
cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

     SECTION 11.10.  Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into which
                     ----------------------------------
the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or
any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the corporate trust
business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions of Section 11.07,
--------
without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of
any of the parties

                                     11-5
<PAGE>

hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Trustee shall
promptly notify the Rating Agencies in the event it is a party to any merger,
conversion or consolidation.

     SECTION 11.11.  Tax Returns. Upon the Servicer's request, the Trustee will
                     -----------
furnish the Servicer with all such information as the Servicer may reasonably
require in connection with preparing all tax returns of the Trust and the
Trustee shall execute such returns.

     SECTION 11.12.  Obligor Claims. In connection with any offset defenses, or
                     --------------
affirmative claims for recovery, asserted in legal actions brought by Obligors
under one or more Loans based upon provisions therein complying with, or upon
other rights or remedies arising from, any legal requirements applicable to the
Loans, including, without limitation, the Federal Trade Commission's Trade
Regulation Rule Concerning Preservation of Consumers' Claims and Defenses (16
C.F.R. (S) 433) as amended from time to time:

     a.   The Trustee is not, and shall not be deemed to be, either in any
individual capacity, as trustee hereunder or otherwise, a creditor, or a joint
venturer with or an Affiliate of, or acting in concert or cooperation with, any
home equity lender, in the arrangement, origination or making of Loans. The
Trustee is the holder of the Loans only as trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder, and not as a principal or
in any individual or personal capacity;

     b.   The Trustee shall not be personally liable for or obligated to pay
Obligors any affirmative claims asserted thereby, or responsible to
Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholder for any offset defense
amounts applied against Loan payments, pursuant to such legal actions;

     c.   The Trustee will pay, solely from available Trust monies, affirmative
claims for recovery by Obligors only pursuant to final judicial orders or
judgments, or judicially approved settlement agreements, resulting from such
legal actions;

     d.   The Trustee will comply with judicial orders and judgments which
require its actions or cooperation in connection with Obligors' legal actions to
recover affirmative claims against Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder;

     e.   The Trustee will cooperate with and assist Certificateholders and the
Class C Certificateholder in their defense of legal actions by Obligors to
recover affirmative claims if such cooperation and assistance is not contrary to
the interests of the Trustee as a party to such legal actions and if the Trustee
is satisfactorily indemnified for all liability, costs and expenses arising
therefrom; and

     f.   The Originator hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend
the Trustee, Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder from and
against any and all liability, loss, costs and expenses of the Trustee,
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder resulting from any
affirmative claims for recovery asserted or collected by Obligors under the
Loans. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of
the Originator under this Section 11.12(f) shall not terminate upon a Service
Transfer pursuant to Article VII.

     SECTION 11.13.  Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
                     ---------------------------------------------
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose
of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction having authority over the
Trust, the Loans or the Obligors, the Originator and the Trustee acting jointly
shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint
one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees,
jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or
any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity,
such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other
provisions of this Section 11.13, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and
trusts as the Originator and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable.
If the Originator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after
the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case an Event of Termination
shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to
make such appointment.  No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be
required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section
11.07 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders or the Class C
Certificateholder of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s)
shall be required under Section 11.09.

     In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this Section 11.13 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or
performed by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, except
to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act
or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the
Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform
such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations
(including the holding of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate
trustee at the direction of the Trustee.

     Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed
to have been given to each of the then co-trustees and separate trustees, as
effectively as if given to each of them.  Every instrument appointing any co-
trustee or separate trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of
this Article XI.  Each co-trustee and separate trustee, upon its acceptance of
the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in
its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as
may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement,
specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct
of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee.  Every
such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee.

     Any co-trustee or separate trustee may, at any time, constitute the
Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the
extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this
Agreement on its behalf and in its name.  If any co-trustee or separate trustee
shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates,
properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee.

     SECTION 11.14.  Trustee and U.S. Bancorp. In the event the Trustee ceases
                     ------------------------
to be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, the Trustee shall
promptly notify the Rating Agencies.

     SECTION 11.15.  Trustee Advances.
                     ----------------

     a.   If the Servicer fails to deposit into the Certificate Account Advances
as required by Section 8.02, then the Trustee shall, subject to the provisions
of paragraph (b) below, from its own funds, deposit into the Certificate Account
the amount not so deposited by the Servicer on or before the Business Day
preceding the related Payment Date (a "Trustee Advance").

     b.   The Trustee shall not be required to make any Trustee Advance if and
to the extent that it determines in good faith that the funds, if advanced,
would not be recoverable by it from subsequent payments on the related Loan in
accordance with Section 8.04(a).

     c.   The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of a Trustee Advance
from funds subsequently available therefor in the Certificate Account in
accordance with Section 8.04(a).

                                 -------------

     SECTION 12.01.  Servicer Not to Resign; Delegation of Servicing Duties. 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. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for the
Servicer to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed
the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section
7.03.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Conseco Finance Corp., if it is the
Servicer, may delegate some or all of its servicing duties to a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Originator, for so long as said subsidiary remains, directly
or indirectly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp.
Notwithstanding any such delegation, Conseco Finance Corp. shall retain all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder.

     SECTION 12.02.  Conseco and Seller Not to Engage in Certain Transactions
                     --------------------------------------------------------
with Respect to the Trust.
-------------------------

     Neither Conseco Finance Corp. nor the Seller shall:

     a.   Provide credit to any Certificateholder for the purpose of enabling
such Certificateholder to purchase Certificates;

     b.   Purchase any Certificates in an agency or trustee capacity; or

     c.   Loan any money to the Trust (other than Advances pursuant to Section
8.02).

     SECTION 12.03.  Maintenance of Office or Agency. The Trustee will maintain
                     -------------------------------
in Minneapolis or St. Paul, Minnesota, an office or agency where Certificates or
the Class C Certificate may be surrendered for registration of transfer or
exchange and where notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the
Certificates, the Class C Certificate and this Agreement may be served. On the
date hereof the Trustee's office for such purposes is located at 180 East 5th
Street, Second Floor, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101. The Trustee will give prompt
written notice to the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, the
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder of any change in the
location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.

     SECTION 12.04.  Termination.
                     -----------

     a.   The Trust created hereby and the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee
created hereby (other than the responsibility of the Trustee to make any final
distributions to Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder as set
forth below) shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the Payment Date on which the
principal balance of all of the Loans is reduced to zero; or (b) the Payment
Date occurring in the month following the sale of the Loans pursuant to Section
8.06; provided, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond
      --------
the expiration of 21 years from the death

                                     12-1
<PAGE>

of the last survivor of the descendants of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late
Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St. James, living on the date
hereof, and provided, further, that the Servicer's and the Originator's
            --------  -------
representations and warranties and indemnities by the Originator and the
Servicer shall survive termination. Any termination of the Trust must be
conducted so as to qualify as a "qualified liquidation" of the REMIC within the
meaning of the REMIC Provisions.

     b.   Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Payment Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Payment Date) upon which all
Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholder may surrender their
Certificates or the Class C Certificate to the Trustee for payment of the final
distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the Trustee (upon
direction by the Servicer ten days prior to the date such notice is to be
mailed) by letter to each of the Rating Agencies, the Certificateholders and the
Class C Certificateholder mailed no later than the fifth Business Day of the
month of the Final Payment Date specifying (1) the Final Payment Date upon which
final payment on the Certificates and the Class C Certificate will be made upon
presentation and surrender of Certificates and the Class C Certificate at the
office or agency of the Trustee therein designated; (2) the amount of any such
final payment; and (3) that the Record Date otherwise applicable to such Payment
Date is not applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender
of the Certificates and the Class C Certificate at the office or agency of the
Trustee therein specified. Any notice of sale of the Loans pursuant to Section
8.06 shall constitute the adoption by the Trustee on behalf of the
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder of a plan of complete
liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F of the Code on the date such
notice is given when signed by the Trustee. Each such notice shall, to the
extent required by the REMIC Provisions or other applicable law, be signed on
behalf of the Trust by the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the
Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to the Certificateholders
and the Class C Certificateholder. In the event such notice is given in
connection with the sale of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.06, the Class C
Certificateholder or the Trustee, as applicable, shall deposit in the
Certificate Account on the Final Payment Date in immediately available funds an
amount equal to the purchase price specified in Section 8.06 and upon such
deposit the Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder will be
entitled to the amount of such purchase price but not amounts in excess thereof,
all as provided herein. Upon such final deposit, the Trustee shall promptly
release to the purchaser of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.06 the Loan Files
for the remaining Loans, and the Trustee shall execute all assignments,
endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer.

     c.   Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates and the Class C
Certificate, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed from the Certificate
Account, in the following order of priority, to the Certificateholders and the
Class C Certificateholder on the Final Payment Date in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests: (1) to the extent the Amount Available is
sufficient therefor, and in the order of priority provided for in Sections
8.04(b), 8.04(c) and 8.04(d), an amount equal to the Formula Distribution Amount
in respect of each Class of Certificates; and (2) as to the Class C Certificate,
the amount which remains on deposit in the Certificate Account (other than
amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant to clause (1) above.
The distribution on the Final Payment Date pursuant to this Section 12.04 shall
be in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be made on such Payment
Date in respect of each Class of Certificates and the Class C Certificate.

                                     12-2
<PAGE>

     d.   In the event that all of the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder do not surrender their Certificates and the Class C
Certificate for cancellation within three months after the time specified in the
above-mentioned written notice, the Originator shall give a second written
notice to the remaining Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder to
surrender their Certificates and the Class C Certificate for cancellation and
receive the final distribution with respect thereto.  If within three months
after the second notice all the Certificates and the Class C Certificate shall
not have been surrendered for cancellation, the Originator shall transfer to
itself all amounts remaining on deposit in the Certificate Account, to hold in
trust for Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder who have not
surrendered their Certificates or the Class C Certificate, as the case may be,
for cancellation, together with the final record list of Certificateholders and
the Class C Certificateholder, and the Originator shall take appropriate steps,
or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates and to contact the
Class C Certificateholder concerning its surrender of its Class C Certificate,
and the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets which
remain in trust hereunder.

     SECTION 12.05.  Acts of Certificateholders and Class C Certificateholder.
                     --------------------------------------------------------

     a.   Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, whenever
Certificateholder approval, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver,
or other action is required hereunder, such approval, authorization, direction,
notice, consent, waiver or other action shall be deemed to have been given or
taken on behalf of, and shall be binding upon, all Certificateholders if agreed
to by Holders of Certificates representing, in the aggregate, 51% or more of the
Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance.

     b.   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholder may be embodied in and
evidenced by one or more instruments of substantially similar tenor signed by
such Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholder in person or by an
agent duly appointed in writing; and except as herein otherwise expressly
provided such action shall become effective when such instrument or instruments
are delivered to the Trustee and, where required, to the Servicer. Proof of
execution of any such instrument or of a writing appointing any such agent shall
be sufficient for any purpose of this Agreement and (subject to Section 11.01)
conclusive in favor of the Trustee, the Servicer and the Originator if made in
the manner provided in this Section.

     c.   The fact and date of the execution by any Certificateholder or the
Class C Certificateholder of any such instrument or writing may be proved in any
reasonable manner which the Trustee deems sufficient.

     d.   The ownership of Certificates and the Class C Certificate shall be
proved by the Certificate Register.

     e.   Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent, waiver
or other act by a Certificateholder or the Class C Certificateholder shall bind
every holder of every Certificate or the Class C Certificate, as applicable,

changes as are necessary to maintain the status of the Trust as a "real estate
mortgage investment conduit" under the REMIC Provisions of the Code or to
otherwise effectuate the benefits of such status to the Trust, the
Certificateholders or the Class C Certificateholder, including, without
limitation, to implement any provision permitted by law that would enable a
REMIC to avoid the imposition of any tax, or to make any other provisions with
respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not be
inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided,  however, that

regard to such amendment) to be imposed on the Trust, including, without

of this Agreement which would modify in any manner the rights of the Class C
Certificateholder.

Section 12.08, the Trustee shall furnish written notification to each of the
Rating Agencies. Promptly after the execution of any amendment or consent
pursuant to this Section 12.08, the Trustee shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment to the Rating Agencies, each
Certificateholder and the Class C Certificateholder.

     e.   It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders and
the Class C Certificateholder under this Section 12.08 to approve the particular
form of any proposed amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall
approve the substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders and
the Class C Certificateholder shall be subject to such reasonable requirements
as the Trustee may prescribe.

     f.   The Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to, enter into any such
amendment which affects the Trustee's own rights, duties or immunities under
this Agreement or otherwise.

bound thereby.

Section, in connection with any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall have received an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, the expense of which
shall not be an expense of the Trust, stating that any such amendment (i) will
not adversely affect the status of the Trust as a REMIC or the status of the
Certificates as "regular interests" therein, and (ii) will not cause any tax
(other than any tax imposed on "net income from foreclosure property" under
Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code that would be imposed without regard to such
amendment) to be imposed on the Trust, including, without limitation, any tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code.

due on the Loans after the applicable Cut-off Date).  The Trust has been created
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
October 1, 2000, among Conseco Finance Corp., as Originator and Servicer (the

pursuant and subject to the Agreement. By acceptance of this Certificate the
holder assents to and becomes bound by the Agreement. To the extent not defined

     The Agreement contemplates, subject to its terms, payment on the fifteenth

(the "Payment Date") of each calendar month commencing in December 2000, so long
as the Agreement has not been terminated, by check (or, if such
Certificateholder holds Class AF-[1A][1][2][3][4] Certificates with an aggregate
Percentage Interest of at least 5% of the Class AF-[1A][1][2][3][4] Certificates
and so desires, by wire transfer pursuant to instructions delivered to the
Trustee at least 10 days prior to such Payment Date) to the registered
Certificateholder at the address appearing on the Certificate Register as of the
Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the
Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of the Distribution Amount for the Class
AF-[1A][1][2][3][4] Certificates for such Payment Date. Distributions of
interest and principal on the Class AF-[1A][1][2][3][4] Certificates will be
made primarily from amounts available in respect of the Loans. The final
scheduled Payment Date of this Certificate is October 15, 2031 or the next
succeeding Business Day if such October 15 is not a Business Day.

     The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds in the Certificate Account to the extent
available for distribution to the Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual capacity is not

Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement,
subject to any liability under the Agreement. By acceptance of this Certificate,
the Certificateholder agrees to disclosure of his, her or its name and address
to other Certificateholders under the conditions specified in the Agreement.

     This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference

benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee. Copies of the Agreement and all amendments
thereto will be provided to any Certificateholder free of charge upon a written
request to the Trustee.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in
Minneapolis or St. Paul, Minnesota, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly
executed by the holder hereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing,
and thereupon one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate
Percentage Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The
Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC") to the Trustee or its
agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as

all purposes, and neither the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee,

expense, delivers to the Originator and the Trustee an opinion of counsel
(satisfactory to the Originator and the Trustee) that the purchase and holding

Servicer to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement.

and thereupon one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate

an employee benefit plan (each, a "Plan") will be registered unless the
                                   ----
transferee, at its expense, delivers to the Originator and the Trustee an
opinion of counsel (satisfactory to the Originator and the Trustee) that the
purchase and holding of this Certificate by such Plan will not result in the
assets of the Trust being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Trustee, the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer to any obligation or
liability in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement.  Unless such opinion
is delivered, each person acquiring this Certificate will be deemed to represent
to the Trustee, the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer either (i) that such
person is neither a Plan, nor acting on behalf of a Plan, subject to ERISA or to
Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) that the purchase and holding of this
Certificate by such Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust being deemed
to be Plan assets and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA
and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Originator, the Seller or the
Servicer to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement.

     This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the interests, rights,
benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby and the rights,
duties and immunities of the Trustee. Copies of the Agreement and all amendments
thereto will be provided to any Certificateholder free of charge upon a written
request to the Trustee.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in
Minneapolis or St. Paul, Minnesota, accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer

in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed
by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly authorized in writing, and
thereupon one or more new Certificates evidencing the same aggregate Percentage
Interest will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.

     [Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC") to the Trustee or
its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate
issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as
requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to
Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized
representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR
OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL in as much as the registered owner
hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein.]

Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar may treat
the person in whose name this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for
all purposes, and neither the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee,
the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected
by any notice to the contrary.

     This Certificate shall be a "security" for purposes of Article 8, Section
102(a)(15)(B) of the Uniform Commercial Code and shall be governed by such
Article 8 as in effect in the state of Minnesota from time to time.

                          FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
                          --------------------------

     The opinion of Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association shall be to the
effect that (capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement):

     1.  The Originator is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power
to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, the Transfer Agreement and the Underwriting Agreement (collectively,
the "Transaction Documents"). The Seller is a corporation duly incorporated,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Minnesota,
with corporate power to execute, deliver and perform in its obligations under
the Transaction Documents.

     2.  The Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action, duly executed and delivered by the Originator and the Seller,
and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Originator and the
Seller enforceable in accordance with their terms. The Certificates have been
duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and, when duly and validly
executed by the Trustee in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
will be validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     3.  No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal
court or governmental agency or body is required to be obtained by the
Originator or the Seller for the consummation of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, except such as may be required under blue sky laws
under any jurisdiction in connection with the offering of the Certificates by
the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

     4.  The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be qualified
under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as now in effect, and the Trust is not
required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company
Act of 1940.

     5.  Neither the transfer of the Loans by the Originator to the Seller, nor
the assignment of the Originator's lien on the related real estate which is the
subject of a home equity loan, nor the issuance or sale of the Certificates and
the Class C Certificate, nor the execution and delivery of the Transaction
Documents, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in
the Transaction Documents nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Certificates,
the Class C Certificate or the Transaction Documents by the Originator will
conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or
constitute a default under, any term or provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Originator or of any indenture or other agreement
or instrument known to us to which the Originator is a party or by which it is
bound, or result in a violation of, or contravene the terms of any statute,
order or regulation, applicable to the Originator, of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it.

                                      F-1
<PAGE>

     6.  Neither the transfer of the Loans by the Seller to the Trustee acting
on behalf of the Trust, nor the assignment of the Seller's lien on the related
real estate which is the subject of a home equity loan, nor the issuance or sale
of the Certificates and the Class C Certificate, nor the execution and delivery
of the Transaction Documents, nor the consummation of any other of the
transactions contemplated in the Transaction Documents, nor the fulfillment of
the terms of the Certificates, the Class C Certificate or the Transaction
Documents by the Seller will conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or
acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term or provision of the
Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Seller or of any indenture or other
agreement or instrument known to us to which the Seller is a party or by which
it is bound, or result in a violation of, or contravene the terms of any
statute, order or regulation, applicable to the Seller, of any court, regulatory
body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it.

     7.  There are no actions or proceedings pending, nor to the best of our
knowledge, are there any investigations pending or overtly threatened against
the Originator or the Seller before any court, administrative agency or other
tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of the Transaction Documents, the
Certificates, the Class C Certificate, the hazard or flood insurance policies
applicable to any Loans or the Errors and Omissions Protection Policy, (B)
seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the Class C Certificate
or the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents, (C) which is likely materially and adversely to affect the
performance by the Originator or the Seller of its obligations under, or the
validity or enforceability of, the Transaction Documents, the Certificates or
the Class C Certificate, or (D) seeking adversely to affect the federal income
tax attributes of the Certificates or the Class C Certificate described in the
Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement under the heading "Federal Income Tax
Consequences."

     8.  The transfer of the Loans to the Trust in accordance with Section 2.01
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement would not be avoidable as a preferential
transfer under Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. (S)
547), as in effect on the date hereof, in the event that the Originator became a
debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code.

     9.  Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement the Originator has transferred to
the Seller all of the Originator's right, title and interest in the Loans, free
and clear of any and all other assignments, encumbrances, options, rights,
claims, liens or security interests (except tax or possessory liens) that may
affect the right of the Seller in and to such Loans, and has delivered the Loan
Files to the Trustee (as the Seller's designee) or its custodian. No filing or
other action, other than the filing of a financing statement on Form UCC-1 with
the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota identifying the Loans as
collateral and naming the Originator as debtor and the Seller as secured party,
and the filing of continuation statements as required by the Transfer Agreement,
is necessary to perfect as against third parties the assignment of the Loans by
the Originator to the Seller. We have separately provided you with our opinion
concerning whether such assignment could be recharacterized as a pledge rather
than a sale in the event the Originator became a debtor under the United States
Bankruptcy Code. However, in the event such assignment were recharacterized as a
pledge securing a loan from the Seller to the Originator, it is our opinion that
the Seller would be deemed to have a valid and perfected security interest in
the Loans and the proceeds thereof, which security interest would be prior to
any other security interest that may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial
Code as in

                                      F-2
<PAGE>

effect in the State of Minnesota and over any "lien creditor" (as defined in
Minn. Stat. (S)336.9-301(3)) who becomes such after the Closing Date, except
that a subsequent purchaser of any Loan who gives new value and takes possession
thereof in the ordinary course of his business would have priority over the
Seller's security interest in such Loan, if such purchaser acts without
knowledge that such Loan was subject to a security interest. We have assumed for
the purposes of this opinion that during the term of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement the Trustee, or its custodian, shall maintain possession of the Loan
Files for the purpose of perfecting the assignment to the Seller of the Loans.
We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any individual Loan
or the existence of any claims, rights or other matters in favor of any Obligor.

     10.  Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Seller has
transferred to the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust all of the Seller's
right, title and interest in the Loans, free and clear of any and all other
assignments, encumbrances, options, rights, claims, liens or security interests
(except tax or possessory liens) that may affect the right of the Trustee in and
to such Loans, and has delivered the Loan Files to the Trustee or its custodian.
No filing or other action, other than the filing of a financing statement on
Form UCC-1 with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota identifying the
Loans as collateral and naming the Seller as debtor and the Trustee as secured
party, and the filing of continuation statements as required by Section 4.01 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is necessary to perfect as against third
parties the assignment of the Loans by the Seller to the Trustee. We have
separately provided you with our opinion concerning whether such assignment
could be recharacterized as a pledge rather than a sale in the event the Seller
became a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. However, in the event
such assignment were recharacterized as a pledge securing a loan from the
Certificateholders to the Seller, it is our opinion that the Trustee would be
deemed to have a valid and perfected security interest in the Loans and the
proceeds thereof, which security interest would be prior to any other security
interest that may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in
the State of Minnesota and over any "lien creditor" (as defined in Minn. Stat.
(S)336.9-301(3)) who becomes such after the Closing Date, except that a
subsequent purchaser of any Loan who gives new value and takes possession
thereof in the ordinary course of his business would have priority over the
Trustee's security interest in such Loan, if such purchaser acts without
knowledge that such Loan was subject to a security interest. We have assumed for
the purposes of this opinion that during the term of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement the Trustee, or its custodian, shall maintain possession of the Loan
Files for the purpose of perfecting the assignment to the Trustee of the Loans.
We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any individual Loan
or the existence of any claims, rights or other matters in favor of any Obligor.

     11.  In reliance upon certain representations and warranties set forth in
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and assuming that the Originator and the
Trustee comply with the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
including the filing on behalf of the REMIC of a proper election to be taxed as
a REMIC, as of the date hereof the REMIC created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will qualify as a REMIC. Further, the Certificates will
evidence ownership of the "regular interests" in the REMIC will evidence
ownership of the single class of "residual Class C Certificate interest" in the
REMIC. For Minnesota income and franchise tax purposes, and subject to the
foregoing assumptions, and the provisions of Minnesota law as of the date
hereof, the Trust (excluding the Capitalized Interest

                                      F-3
<PAGE>

Account and the Pre-Funding Account) will not be subject to tax and the income
of the Trust will be taxable to the holders of interests therein, all in
accordance with the provisions of the Code concerning REMICs. Moreover,
ownership of Certificates will not be a factor in determining whether such owner
is subject to Minnesota income and franchise taxes. Therefore, if the owner of
Certificates is not otherwise subject to Minnesota income or franchise taxes in
the State of Minnesota, such owner will not become subject to such Minnesota
taxes solely by virtue of owning Certificates.

     12.  The transfer of the Loans and the proceeds thereof by the Seller to
the Trustee on the date hereof pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement
would not be avoidable as a fraudulent transfer under the Uniform Fraudulent
Transfer Act as in effect in Minnesota on the date hereof (Minn. Stat. (S)(S)
513.41 through 513.51), nor, should the Seller become a debtor under the United
States Bankruptcy Code, as a fraudulent transfer under Section 548 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. (S) 548) as in effect on the date hereof.

                CERTIFICATE FOR HOME EQUITY LOANS, SERIES 2000-F

  Original Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance of the Trust: $910,000,000

     This certifies that Green Tree Finance Corp.-Two is the registered owner of
the Residual Interest represented by this Certificate, and entitled to certain
distributions out of Conseco Finance Home Equity Loan Trust 2000-F (the
"Trust"), which includes among its assets a pool of closed-end home equity loans
(the "Loans") (including, without limitation, all mortgages, deeds of trust and
security deeds relating to such Loans and any and all rights to receive payments
due on the Loans after the applicable Cut-off Date). The Trust has been created
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
October 1, 2000, among Conseco Finance Corp., as Originator and Servicer (the
"Originator"), Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp., as Seller (the "Seller")
and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as Trustee of the Trust (the
"Trustee"). This Class C Certificate is described in the Agreement and is issued
pursuant and subject to the Agreement. By acceptance of this Class C Certificate
the holder assents to and becomes bound by the Agreement. To the extent not
defined herein, all capitalized terms have the meanings assigned to such terms
in the Agreement.

     The Agreement contemplates, subject to its terms, payment on the fifteenth
day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day)
(the "Payment Date") of each calendar month commencing in December 2000, so long
as the Agreement has not been terminated, by check to the registered Class C
Certificateholder at the address appearing on the Certificate Register as of the
Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date in an amount equal to the
Class C Distribution Amount. The final scheduled Payment Date of this Class C
Certificate is October 15, 2031 or the next succeeding Business Day if such

     The Class C Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that it will look solely to the funds in the Certificate Account to the
extent available for distribution to the Class C Certificateholder as provided
in the Agreement for payment hereunder and that the

<PAGE>

Trustee in its individual capacity is not personally liable to the Class C
Certificateholder for any amounts payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement. By acceptance of this Certificate, the Class C
Certificateholder agrees to disclosure of his, her or its name and address to
other Certificateholders under the conditions specified in the Agreement.

     No transfer of this Certificate or any interest herein to any employee
benefit plan that is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the
Code or to any person or entity purchasing on behalf of, or with assets of, such
an employee benefit plan (each, a "Plan") will be registered unless the
                                   ----
transferee, at its expense, delivers to the Originator and the Trustee an
opinion of counsel (satisfactory to the Originator and the Trustee) that the
purchase and holding of this Certificate by such Plan will not result in the
assets of the Trust being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the
prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the
Trustee, the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer to any obligation or
liability in addition to those undertaken in the Agreement. Unless such opinion
is delivered, each person acquiring this Certificate will be deemed to represent
to the Trustee, the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer either (i) that such
person is neither a Plan, nor acting on behalf of a Plan, subject to ERISA or to
Section 4975 of the Code, or (ii) that the purchase and holding of this
Certificate by such Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust being deemed
to be Plan assets and subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA
and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the Originator, the Seller or the
Servicer to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement.

     This Class C Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and
reference is made to the Agreement for information with respect to the
interests, rights, benefits, obligations, proceeds and duties evidenced hereby
and the rights, duties and immunities of the Trustee. Copies of the Agreement
and all amendments thereto will be provided to any Class C Certificateholders
free of charge upon a written request to the Trustee.

     As provided in the Agreement and subject to the limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Class C Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Class C
Certificate for registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by
the Trustee in Minneapolis or St. Paul, Minnesota, accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly
authorized in writing, and thereupon a new Class C Certificate evidencing the
same Class C Certificate will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.

     The Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent and
the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Originator, the Seller, the
Servicer, the Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Registrar may treat
the person in whose name this Class C Certificate is registered as the owner
hereof for all purposes, and neither the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent, the Certificate Registrar nor any such agent
shall be affected by any notice to the contrary.

     1.   The Purchaser understands that the Certificate have not been and will
not be registered under the 1933 Act and may be resold (which resale is not
currently contemplated) only if registered pursuant to the provisions of the
1933 Act or if an exemption from registration is available, that Conseco Finance
Corp. is not required to register the Certificate and that any transfer must
comply with Section 9.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement relating to the
Certificate.

     2.   The Purchaser will comply with all applicable federal and state
securities laws in connection with any subsequent resale of the Certificate.

     3.   The Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional investor and has
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificate and is able
to bear the economic risk of such investment. The Purchaser has reviewed the

     4.   The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificate as principal for its own
account (or for the account of one or more other institutional investors for
which it is acting as duly authorized fiduciary or agent) for the purpose of
investment and not with a view to or for sale in connection with any
distribution thereof, subject nevertheless to any requirement of law that the
disposition of the Purchaser's property shall at all times be and remain within
its control.

     5.   The Purchaser either (check one box):

               is not, and is not acting on behalf of or with assets

               Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
               amended or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of
               the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or
               has provided the Trustee and Servicer with the opinion
               of counsel described in Section 9.02(b)(2) of the
               Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or
               acknowledges that it is deemed to make the
               representation set forth in Section 9.02(b)(2) of the
               Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     6.   The Purchaser understands that such Certificate will bear a legend
substantially as set forth in the form of Certificate included in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

     7.   The Purchaser, as holder of the Class C Certificate, acknowledges (i)
it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the
interest and (ii) it intends to pay the taxes associated with holding the Class
C Certificate as they become due.

     8.   The Purchaser agrees that it will obtain from any purchaser of the
Certificate from it the same representations, warranties and agreements
contained in the foregoing paragraphs 1 through 7 and in this paragraph 8.  The
representations and warranties contained herein shall be binding upon the heirs,
executors, administrators and other successors of the undersigned.  If there is
more than one signatory hereto, the obligations, representations, warranties and
