the Contracts before the applicable Cut-off Date) and all rights of the Seller
under the Transfer Agreement, (2) all rights under every Hazard Insurance Policy
relating to a Manufactured Home securing an Initial or Additional Contract for
the benefit of the owner of such Contract, (3) all rights under all FHA/VA
Regulations pertaining to any Initial and Additional Contract that is an FHA/VA
Contract, (4) the proceeds from the Errors and Omissions Protection Policy and
all rights under any blanket hazard insurance policy to the extent they relate
to the Manufactured Homes, (5) all documents contained in the Contract Files and
the Land-and-Home Contract Files relating to the Initial and Additional
Contracts, (6) $25,452,318.83 paid by the Underwriters of the Certificates to
the Trustee by order of the Seller out of the proceeds of the sale of the
Certificates (which such Underwriters shall, by order of the Trust, remit
directly to the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account), (7) amounts on deposit
in the Capitalized Interest Account, (8) amounts on deposit in the Pre-Funding
Account and (9) all proceeds and products in any way derived from any of the
foregoing.

     c.   The Seller agrees that it will use its best efforts (consistent with
prudent lending practices) to cause each Staged-Funding Contract to be fully
disbursed on or before the Funding Termination Date.  The additional payment
obligations of any Obligor attributable to any further disbursements on any
Staged-Funding Contract made on or before the Funding Termination Date shall
automatically become the property of the Trust, without further action by the
Seller or the Trust.  The payment to the Seller by the Trust and the transfer of
additional obligations to the Trust pursuant to this Section 2.01(c) and Section
3.06(c)(ii) shall be a purchase by the Trust of qualified mortgages pursuant to
a fixed price contract within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.

     d.   Although the parties intend that the conveyance of the Seller's right,
title and interest in and to the Contracts and the Collateral Security pursuant
to this Agreement and each Subsequent Transfer Instrument shall constitute a
purchase and sale and not a pledge of security for loans from the
Certificateholders, it is the intent of this Agreement that if such conveyances
are deemed to be a pledge of security for loans from the Certificateholders or
any other Persons (the "Secured Obligations"), the parties intend that the
rights and obligations of the parties to the Secured Obligations shall be
established pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.  The parties also intend
and agree that the Seller shall be deemed to have granted to the Trustee, and
the Seller does hereby grant to the Trustee, a perfected first-priority security
interest in the items designated in Section 2.01(b)(1) through 2.01(b)(9) above
and in each Subsequent Transfer Instrument, and all proceeds thereof, to secure
the Secured Obligations, 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
Certificates or the Secured Obligations, the security interest created hereby
shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed to be
the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person.

     it be aware of any pending insolvency, as certified in an Officer's
     Certificate substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit Q;

          (v)    such sale and transfer shall not result in a material adverse

          (vi)   the Pre-Funding Period shall not have ended;

          (i) A letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or another nationally
     recognized accounting firm retained by the Seller (with copies provided to
     Standard & Poor's, Fitch, Moody's, the Underwriters and the Trustee) that
     is in form, substance and methodology the same as that delivered under
     Section 2.02(e) of this Agreement, except that it shall address the
     Subsequent Contracts and their conformity in all material respects to the
     characteristics described in Section 3.04(b) of this Agreement.

                                      2-5
<PAGE>

          (ii)   Evidence that as a result of the purchase by the Trust of the
     Subsequent Contracts, the Class A Certificates shall not receive from
     Standard & Poor's, Fitch or Moody's a lower credit rating than the rating

     SECTION 2.04.  Acceptance by Trustee.
                    ---------------------

     a.   On the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer Date, if the

satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver a certificate to the Seller substantially
in the form of Exhibit G hereto acknowledging conveyance of the Contracts,
identified on the applicable List of Contracts and the related Contract Files
and Land-and-Home Contract Files to the Trustee and declaring that the Trustee,
directly or through a custodian, will hold all Contracts that have been
delivered in trust, upon the terms herein set forth, for the use and benefit of
all Certificateholders and on the Closing Date the Trustee shall issue to or
upon the order of the Seller Certificates representing ownership of a beneficial
interest in 100% of the Trust.

     b.   If, in its review of the Land-and-Home Contract Files as described in
Exhibit G, the Trustee or its Custodian discovers a breach of the
representations or warranties set forth in Sections 2.02(n), 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or
3.05, the Seller and the Originator shall cure such breach or repurchase or
replace such Contract pursuant to Section 3.06.

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

     a.   The Originator, as Servicer, and the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder and the Class C Master 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 each of the Subsidiary REMIC
and the Master REMIC for its first taxable year shall provide that the
Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, as the case may be (excluding the
Capitalized Interest Account, the obligation and related demand note of the
Originator pursuant to Section 3.06(c), the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account and the Pre-Funding Account) elects to be treated as a REMIC for such
taxable year and all subsequent taxable years.  In furtherance of the foregoing,
the Trustee (at the direction of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer) and
the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer shall take, or refrain from taking,
all such action as is necessary to maintain the status of each of the Subsidiary
REMIC or the Master REMIC 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.

     b.   The Regular Certificates are being issued in 11 classes and are hereby
designated by the Originator as constituting the "regular interests" in the
Master REMIC for the purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code.  The following

The Seller does not represent that any Class of Uncertificated Subsidiary
Interests will, in fact, mature on any given date.  The Class C Subsidiary
Certificates are being issued in a single Class

                                      2-7
<PAGE>

and are hereby designated by the Seller as constituting the sole class of
"residual interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2)
of the Code.

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

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

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

     equitable remedies.

          c.   No Consent Required.  The Seller is not required to obtain the

     SECTION 3.02.  Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Contract.
                    ------------------------------------------------------

     The Originator has made the following representations and warranties to the
Seller in the Transfer Agreement, which representations and warranties the
Seller has assigned to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders, as
of the Closing Date with respect to each Initial or Additional Contract, and as
of the applicable Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent
Contract identified on the List of Contracts attached to the related Subsequent
Transfer Agreement:

          a.  List of Contracts.  The information set forth in the applicable
              -----------------
     List of Contracts is true and correct as of its date.

          b.  Payments.  As of the Cut-off Date, the most recent scheduled
              --------
     payment was made by or on behalf of the Obligor (without any advance from
     the Originator or any Person acting at the request of the Originator) or
     was not past due for more than 59 days (in the case of an Initial or
     Additional Contract) or 30 days (in the case of a Subsequent Contract).

          c.  No Waivers.  The terms of the Contract have not been waived,
              ----------
     altered or modified in any respect, except by instruments or documents
     identified in the Contract File or Land-and-Home Contract File, as
     applicable.

          d.  Binding Obligation.  The Contract is the legal, valid and binding
              ------------------
     obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with
     its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by laws affecting

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

                                      3-2
<PAGE>

          f.  Insurance Coverage.  The Manufactured Home securing the Contract
              ------------------
     is covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy in the amount required by Section
     5.09.  Each Manufactured Home secured by an FHA/VA Contract which was, at
     the time of origination of the related Contract, located within a federally
     designated special flood hazard area is covered by insurance coverage at
     least equal to that required by Section 5.09 or such lesser coverage as may
     be available under the federal flood insurance program.  With respect to
     any other Contract that is not an FHA/VA Contract, the Originator has
     obtained:  (a) a statement from the Obligor's insurance agent that the
     Manufactured Home was, at the time of origination of the Contract, not in a
     federally designated special flood hazard area; or (b) evidence that, at
     the time of origination, flood insurance was in effect, which coverage is
     at least equal to that required by Section 5.09 or such lesser coverage as
     may be available under the federal flood insurance program. All premiums
     due as of the Closing Date on such insurance have been paid in full.

          g.  Origination.  The Contract was originated by a manufactured
              -----------
     housing dealer and purchased by the Originator, or originated by the
     Originator directly, in the regular course of its business.

          h.  Lawful Assignment.  The Contract was not originated in and is not
              -----------------
     subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer
     of the Contract pursuant to this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
     Certificates, or the ownership of the Contract by the Trust, unlawful or
     render the Contract unenforceable.

          i.  Compliance with Law.  At the date of origination of the Contract,
              -------------------
     all requirements of any federal and state laws, rules and regulations
     applicable to the Contract, including, without limitation, usury, truth in
     lending and equal credit opportunity laws, have been complied with, and the
     Originator shall for at least the period of this Agreement, maintain in its
     possession, available for the Trustee's inspection, and shall deliver to
     the Trustee upon demand, evidence of compliance with all such requirements.
     Such compliance is not affected by the Trust's ownership of the Contract.

          j.  Contract in Force.  The Contract has not been satisfied or
              -----------------
     subordinated in whole or in part or rescinded, and the Manufactured Home
     securing the Contract has not been released from the lien of the Contract
     in whole or in part.

          k.  Valid Security Interest.  Each Contract (other than the Land-and-
              -----------------------
     Home Contracts) creates a valid and enforceable perfected first priority
     security interest in favor of the Originator in the Manufactured Home
     covered thereby as security for payment of the Cut-off Date Principal
     Balance of such Contract.  The Originator has assigned all of its right,
     title and interest in such Contract, including the security interest in the
     Manufactured Home covered thereby, to the Seller, and the Seller has
     assigned all of its right, title and interest in such Contract, including
     the security interest in the Manufactured Home covered thereby, to the
     Trustee.  The Trustee has and will have a valid and perfected and
     enforceable first priority security interest in such Contract and
     Manufactured Home.

                                      3-3
<PAGE>

          Each Mortgage is a valid first lien in favor of the Seller on real
     property securing the amount owed by the Obligor under the related Land-
     and-Home Contract subject only to (a) the lien of current real property
     taxes and assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights
     of way, easements and other matters of public record as of the date of
     recording of such Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being
     acceptable to mortgage lending institutions generally in the area wherein
     the property subject to the Mortgage is located or specifically reflected
     in the appraisal obtained in connection with the origination of the related
     Land-and-Home Contract obtained by the Seller and (c) other matters to
     which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially
     interfere with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such
     Mortgage. Each Land-and-Home Contract is covered by an American Land Title
     Association, or equivalent form, lender's title insurance policy.  The
     Seller has assigned all of its right, title and interest in such Land-and-
     Home Contract and related Mortgage, including the security interest in the
     Manufactured Home covered thereby, to the Trustee.  The Trustee has and
     will have a valid and perfected and enforceable first priority security
     interest in such Land-and-Home Contract.

          l.  Capacity of Parties.  The signature(s) of the Obligor(s) on the
              -------------------
     Contract are genuine and all parties to the Contract had full legal
     capacity to execute the Contract.

          m.  Good Title.  In the case of a Contract purchased from a
              ----------
     manufactured housing dealer, the Originator purchased the Contract for fair
     value and took possession thereof in the ordinary course of its business,
     without knowledge that the Contract was subject to a security interest.
     The Originator has not sold, assigned or pledged the Contract to any person
     and prior to the transfer of the Contract by the Originator to the Seller
     under the terms of the Transfer Agreement, the Originator had good and
     marketable title thereto free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan,
     pledge, charge, claim or security interest and was the sole owner thereof
     with full right to transfer the Contract to the Seller.  With respect to
     any Contract bearing a stamp indicating that such Contract has been sold to
     another party, such other party's interest in such Contract has been
     released.

          n.  No Defaults.  As of the Cut-off Date or Subsequent Cut-off Date,
              -----------
     as applicable, there was no default, breach, violation or event permitting
     acceleration existing under the Contract and no event which, with notice
     and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a
     default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under such
     Contract (except payment delinquencies permitted by clause (b) above).  The
     Originator has not waived any such default, breach, violation or event
     permitting acceleration except payment delinquencies permitted by clause
     (b) above.  As of the Closing Date or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as
     applicable, the related Manufactured Home is, to the best of the
     Originator's knowledge, free of damage and in good repair.  To the best of
     the Originator's knowledge, no Manufactured Home has suffered damage that
     is not covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy, including, but not limited to,
     hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, hailstorms, straight-line
     winds, sinkholes, mudslides, volcanic eruptions, meteorites and other
     natural disasters.

                                      3-4
<PAGE>

          o.  No Liens.  As of the Closing Date or the Subsequent Transfer Date,
              --------
     as applicable, there are, to the best of the Originator's knowledge, no
     liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials
     affecting the Manufactured Home or any related Mortgaged Property securing
     the Contract which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate
     with, the lien of the Contract.

          p.  Equal Installments.  Except for 320 Step-up Rate Contracts
              ------------------
     included among the Initial Contracts and 250 Step-up Rate Contracts
     included among the Additional Contracts, each Contract has a fixed Contract
     Rate and provides for level monthly payments which fully amortize the loan
     over its term.  Of the Step-up Rate Contracts which are still bearing
     interest at their initial Contract Rates, 569 provide for two rate
     increases and one provides for a single rate increase.

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

          r.  One Original.  There is only one original executed Contract (other
              ------------
     than the original executed copy retained by the Obligor), which Contract
     has been delivered to the Trustee or its custodian on or before the Closing
     Date or the Subsequent Transfer Date, as applicable.  Each Contract (other
     than the Land-and-Home Contracts) has been stamped to reflect the
     assignment of such Contract to the Trustee.

          s.  Loan-to-Value Ratio.  At the time of their origination all of the
              -------------------
     Contracts had Loan-to-Value Ratios not greater than 100%; if the related
     Manufactured Home was new at the time such Contract was originated, the
     original principal balance of such Contract did not exceed 130% of the
     manufacturer's invoice price, plus 100% of the taxes and license fees, 130%
     of the freight charges, 100% of the dealer's cost of additional dealer-
     installed equipment (not to exceed 25% of the original principal balance of
     such Contract in all states except California; not to exceed 70% of the
     manufacturer's invoice price in California if required to meet park
     requirements) and up to $1,500 of set-up costs per module.

          t.  Primary Resident.  At the time of origination of the Contract the
              ----------------
     Obligor was the primary resident of the related Manufactured Home.

          u.  Not Real Estate.  With respect to each Contract other than a Land-
              ---------------
     and-Home Contract, the related Manufactured Home is not considered or
     classified as part of the real estate on which it is located under the laws
     of the jurisdiction in which it is located.

          v.  Notation of Security Interest.  With respect to each Contract
              -----------------------------
     other than a Land-and-Home Contract, if the related Manufactured Home is
     located in a state in which notation of a security interest on the title
     document is required or permitted to perfect such security interest, the
     title document shows, or if a new or replacement title document with
     respect to such Manufactured Home is being applied for such title document
     will be

                                      3-5
<PAGE>

     issued within 180 days and will show, the Originator or its assignee as the
     holder of a first priority security interest in such Manufactured Home; if
     the related Manufactured Home is located in a state in which the filing of
     a financing statement under the UCC is required to perfect a security
     interest in manufactured housing, such filings or recordings have been duly
     made and show the Originator or its assignee as secured party. If the
     related Manufactured Home secures a Land-and-Home Contract, such
     Manufactured Home is subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the
     appropriate public recording office or such Mortgage will be properly filed
     in the appropriate public recording office within 180 days, naming the
     Seller as mortgagee. In either case, the Trustee has the same rights as the
     secured party of record would have (if such secured party were still the
     owner of the Contract) against all Persons (including the Seller and the
     Originator and any trustee in bankruptcy of the Seller or the Originator)
     claiming an interest in such Manufactured Home.

          w.  Secondary Mortgage Market Enhancement Act.  The related
              -----------------------------------------
     Manufactured Home is a "manufactured home" within the meaning of 42 United
     States Code, Section 5402(6).  Each manufactured housing dealer from whom
     the Originator purchased such Contract, if any, was then approved by the
     Originator in accordance with the requirements of the Secretary of Housing
     and Urban Development set forth in 24 CFR (S) 201.27.  At the origination
     of each Contract, the Originator was approved for insurance by the
     Secretary of Housing and Urban Development pursuant to Section 2 of the
     National Housing Act.

          x.  Qualified Mortgage.  The Contract represents a "qualified
              ------------------
     mortgage" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.  The
     Originator represents and warrants that, either as of the date of
     origination or the Closing Date, the fair market value of the property
     securing each Contract was not less than 80% of the "adjusted issue price"
     (within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions) of such Contract.

     SECTION 3.03.  Additional Representations and Warranties.  The Seller
                    -----------------------------------------
hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholders, as of the Closing Date
with respect to each Contract identified on the list of Contracts and as of each
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent Contract identified on
the List of Contracts attached to the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument:

          a.  Lawful Assignment.  The Contract was not originated in and is not
              -----------------
     subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer
     of the Contract under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of the
     Certificates or Class C Certificates unlawful or render the Contract
     unenforceable.  The Seller has duly executed a valid blanket assignment of
     the Contracts transferred to the Trust, and has transferred all its right,
     title and interest in such Contracts.  The blanket assignment, any and all
     documents executed and delivered by the Seller pursuant to Sections 2.01(b)
     and 2.03(b), and this Agreement each constitutes the legal, valid and
     binding obligation of the Seller enforceable in accordance with its
     respective terms.

                                      3-6
<PAGE>

          b.  Good Title.  The Seller is the sole owner of the Contract and has
              ----------
     the authority to sell, transfer and assign such Contract to the Trust under
     the terms of this Agreement.  There has been no assignment, sale or
     hypothecation of the Contract by the Seller which does not terminate upon
     sale of the Contract to the Trust.  The Seller has good and marketable
     title to the Contract, free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan,
     pledge, charge, claim, lien or encumbrance of any type and has full right
     to transfer the Contract to the Trust.

     SECTION 3.04.  Representations and Warranties Regarding the Contracts in
                    ---------------------------------------------------------
the Aggregate.

     disbursed) as of the Cut-off Date equal the Cut-off Date Pool Principal
     Balance.  The aggregate principal amounts payable by Obligors under the
     Initial Contracts (assuming all Staged-Funding Contracts included among the

     $883,060,222.30.  The aggregate principal amounts payable by Obligors under
     the Initial and Additional Contracts (assuming all Staged-Funding Contracts

                        --------------------------------------------------------
Breach of Representations and Warranties.
----------------------------------------

          a.   The Originator shall repurchase a Contract, at its Repurchase
Price, not later than the last day of the month prior to the month that is 90
days after the day on which the Originator, the Servicer, the Seller or the
Trustee first discovers or should have discovered a breach of a representation
or warranty of the Originator set forth in Sections 2.02(n), 3.02, 3.03 or 3.05
of this Agreement that materially adversely affects the Trust's or the
Certificateholders' interest in such Contract and which breach has not been
cured; provided, however, that (i) in the event that a party other than the
Originator first becomes aware of such breach, such discovering party shall
notify the Originator in writing within five Business Days of the date of such
discovery and (ii) with respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the
List of Contracts with respect to unpaid principal balance, which the Originator
would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section, the
Originator may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deliver to the Seller for
deposit in the Certificate Account no later than the first Determination Date
that is 90 or more days from the date of such discovery cash in an amount
sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy. Any such cash so deposited
shall be distributed to Certificateholders on the immediately following
Remittance Date as a collection of principal or interest on such Contract,
according to the nature of the deficiency or discrepancy. Notwithstanding any
other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this
Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Originator shall repurchase any Land-and-Home
Contract, at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or substitute for it an Eligible
Substitute Contract as described in Section 3.06(b), if the Seller has failed to
deliver the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Trustee within 30 days of
the Closing Date.

          b.   On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the
Closing Date, the Originator, at its election, may substitute one or more
Eligible Substitute Contracts for any Contracts that it is obligated to
repurchase pursuant to Section 3.06(a) (such Contracts being referred to as the
"Replaced Contracts") upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

               (i)  the Originator shall have conveyed to the Seller the
          Contracts to be substituted for the Replaced Contracts and the
          Contract Files related to such Contracts and the Originator shall have
          marked the Electronic Ledger indicating that such Contracts constitute
          part of the Trust;

               (ii) the Contracts to be substituted for the Replaced Contracts
          are Eligible Substitute Contracts and the Originator delivers an
          Officers' Certificate, substantially in

                                     3-10
<PAGE>

     the form of Exhibit L-2 hereto, to the Trustee certifying that such
     Contracts are Eligible Substitute Contracts;

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

          (iv)   in respect of Eligible Substitute Contracts that are Land-and-
     Home Contracts:

          (x)    the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller, or its
                 Custodian, the related Land-and-Home Contract Files; and

          (y)    the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an opinion
                 of counsel satisfactory to the Trustee to the effect that the
                 Trustee holds a perfected first priority lien in the real
                 estate (including, but not limited to, the Manufactured Home
                 located on such real property, to the extent it is considered
                 or classified as part of the real estate under the laws of the
                 jurisdiction in which it is located) securing such Eligible
                 Substitute Contracts, or evidence of recordation of the
                 assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of each
                 Mortgage securing such Eligible Contracts;

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

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

     Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Contracts
to, and delete such Replaced Contracts from, the List of Contracts.  Such
substitution shall be effected prior to the first Determination Date that occurs
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 substitution of a Contract, the Originator
shall give written notice of such substitution to Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
Moody's.

          c.(i)  On or before the Funding Termination Date, the Originator or
the Seller shall deliver one or more Officer's Certificates to the Trustee,
identifying those Staged-Funding Contracts that have been fully disbursed in
accordance with the terms of such Contract on or before the Funding Termination
Date, and specifying that portion of the funds held in the Staged-Funding
Contract Reserve Account attributable to those Staged-Funding Contracts. On or
before the Funding Termination Date, the Originator or the Seller shall deliver
an Officer's Certificate to the Trustee, specifying any Staged-Funding Contracts
which were not fully disbursed by the Funding Termination Date (each Staged-
Funding Contract that was not so fully disbursed being hereinafter referred to
as an "Unfunded Contract"), and the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of each
Unfunded Contract.

          (ii)   On or before the Funding Termination Date, the Originator shall
either repurchase any Unfunded Contract in accordance with Section 3.06(a) (or
the unfunded portion thereof, by depositing in the Certificate Account any
undisbursed amount with respect to such Unfunded Contract), or shall substitute
an Eligible Substitute Contract for such Unfunded Contract in accordance with
Section 3.06(b). With respect to the repurchase of an Unfunded Contract pursuant
to this Section 3.06(c), an amount of the Repurchase Price equal to the Unfunded
Contract Shortfall attributable to such Unfunded Contract shall be treated as a
refund to the Trust of the purchase price paid by the Trust for additional
obligations of the Obligor on such Contract under Section 2.01(c), and the
remainder of the Repurchase Price shall be treated as paid to the Trust for such
Unfunded Contract.

          (iii)  If the Originator shall have failed to repurchase an Unfunded
Contract (or the unfunded portion thereof, by depositing in the Certificate
Account any undisbursed amount with respect to such Unfunded Contract) or to
substitute an Eligible Substitute Contract therefor in accordance with
subsection (ii) above, then the disbursed principal balance of such Unfunded
Contract as owned by the Trust shall not be increased after the Funding
Termination Date, notwithstanding any further disbursements that may be made to
the related Obligor by the Originator after the Funding Termination Date. The
Servicer shall thereafter allocate principal and interest collected on the
Contract between the Trust and the Originator on a pro rata basis in accordance
with the disbursed principal balance as of the Funding Termination Date, with
the result that payments of interest and principal collected with respect to
such disbursed principal balance as of the Funding Termination Date shall be
deemed collected by the Trust. The aggregate differential between the Cut-off
Date Principal Balance of all such Unfunded Contracts as specified in the List
of Contracts and the disbursed principal balance of such Unfunded Contracts as
of the Funding Termination Date (the "Unfunded Contract Shortfall") shall be
added to the Formula Principal Distribution Amount with respect to the
Remittance Date in October 2000.

          (iv)   On the Business Day prior to each Remittance Date until and
including the Remittance Date immediately following the Funding Termination
Date, the Originator shall pay any Class A Interest Shortfall, Class M-1
Interest Shortfall, Class M-2 Interest Shortfall or Class B-1 Interest Shortfall
occurring on such Remittance Date, if and to the

                                     3-12
<PAGE>

     extent such shortfall is caused by the difference between (A) the interest
     that would have been payable on all Staged-Funding Contracts in the related
     month had such Contracts been fully disbursed on the Closing Date and (B)
     the interest actually payable on such Contracts in the related month
     according to the terms of such Contracts.

          (v)    To further evidence its obligation to repurchase Unfunded
     Contracts pursuant to subsection (ii) above and to deposit any Class A
     Interest Shortfall, Class M-1 Interest Shortfall, Class M-2 Interest
     Shortfall and Class B-1 Interest Shortfall pursuant to subsection (iv)
     above, the Originator shall deliver to the Trustee, on the Closing Date, a
     demand note in an amount no less than the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal
     Balances of the Staged-Funding Contracts. After the Funding Termination
     Date or such earlier date on which the Originator either has fully
     disbursed or repurchased each Staged-Funding Contract as required herein,
     the Trustee shall return such demand note to the Originator for
     cancellation and/or destruction.

     d.   Upon receipt by the Trust by deposit in the Certificate Account of the
Repurchase Price under subsection (a) or (c) above, or the delivery of an
Eligible Substitute Contract pursuant to subsection (b) or (c) above, and upon
receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form attached hereto as
Exhibit L-1 or L-2, the Trustee shall convey and assign to the Originator all of
the Trust's right, title and interest in the repurchased Contract or Replaced
Contract without recourse, representation or warranty, except as to the absence
of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising as a result of actions
of the Trustee.

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

     SECTION 3.07.  No Repurchase or Substitution Under Certain Circumstances.
                    ---------------------------------------------------------

     Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no
repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 3.06 (other than a repurchase or
substitution pursuant to Section 3.06(c)) shall be made unless the Originator
obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that any
such repurchase or substitution would not, under the REMIC Provisions, (i) cause
the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC while any
regular interest in the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, respectively, is
outstanding, (ii) result in a tax on prohibited transactions within the meaning
of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or (iii) constitute a contribution after the
startup day subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code. The Servicer shall
attempt to obtain such Opinion of Counsel. In the case of a repurchase or
deposit pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or 3.06(c), the Originator shall,
notwithstanding the absence of such opinion as to the imposition of any tax as
the result of such purchase or deposit, repurchase such Contract or make such
deposit and shall guarantee the payment of such tax by paying to the Trustee the
amount of such tax not later than five Business Days before such tax shall be
due and payable to the extent that amounts previously paid over to and then held
by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06 hereof are

                                     3-13
<PAGE>

insufficient to pay such tax and all other taxes chargeable under Section 6.06.
Pursuant to Section 6.06, the Servicer is hereby directed to withhold, and shall
withhold and pay over to the Trustee, an amount sufficient to pay such tax and
any other taxes imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of
the Code or imposed on "contributions after start up date" under Section 860G(d)
of the Code from amounts otherwise distributable to Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholders. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee at the time of
such repurchase of the amounts due from the Originator pursuant to the guarantee
of the Originator described above and notice as to who should receive such
payment.

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

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

     SECTION 3.08.  Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account.
                    ---------------------------------------

     a.   The Trustee shall establish the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account, and shall
deposit therein the amount specified in Section 2.02(r).  The Account shall be
entitled "U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee for the benefit of holders
of Manufactured Housing Contract Senior/Subordinate Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2000-4."

     b.   Upon receipt by the Trustee of an Officer's Certificate pursuant to
Section 3.06(c)(i) to the effect that one or more Staged-Funding Contracts have
been fully disbursed in accordance with the terms of such Contract, on or before
the Funding Termination Date, the Trustee shall release to the Seller that
portion of the funds held in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account
attributable to those Staged-Funding Contracts (as specified in such Officer's
Certificate).

     c.   If the Originator fails to satisfy its obligations under Section
3.06(c)(ii) hereof the Trustee shall withdraw the Unfunded Contract Shortfall
from the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account and shall apply said funds in
the fashion provided in the second sentence in Section 3.06(c)(iii).  Any amount
so applied shall be treated for all purposes under this Agreement as an amount
paid by the Originator to repurchase Contracts under Section 3.06(c).

     d.   The Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account shall be part of the Trust
but not part of the Subsidiary REMIC or Master REMIC.  The Trustee on behalf of
the Trust shall be the legal owner of the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve
Account.  The Originator shall be the beneficial owner of the Staged-Funding
Contract Reserve Account, subject to the foregoing power of the Trustee to apply
amounts in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account to satisfy the
obligations of the Originator under Section 3.06(c)(ii).  Funds in the Staged-
Funding

                                     3-14
<PAGE>

Contract Reserve Account shall, at the direction of the Originator, be invested
in Eligible Investments that mature no later than the Funding Termination Date.
All net income and gain from such investments shall be distributed to the
Originator on the Funding Termination Date. Any losses on such investments shall
be deposited in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account by the Originator
out of its own funds immediately as realized. All amounts earned on amounts on
deposit in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account shall be taxable to the
Originator.

     e.   Any funds remaining in the Staged-Funding Contract Reserve Account
after the Funding Termination Date shall be distributed to the Originator.

           SECTION 4.01.  Custody of Contracts.
                          --------------------

           a.   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section the Trustee
appoints the Servicer to maintain custody of the Contract Files for the benefit
of the Certificateholders and the Trustee. The Custodian shall maintain custody
of the Land-and-Home Contract Files. In the event that the Trustee is no longer
acting as Custodian of the Land-and-Home Contract Files, upon execution and
delivery of an agreement between the Trustee and the Person assuming the duties
of the Trustee hereunder as Custodian with respect to the Land-and-Home Contract
Files, the replacement Custodian shall concurrently execute an acknowledgment of
receipt of the Land-and-Home Contract Files substantially in the form of Exhibit
H hereto.

           b.   The Servicer agrees to maintain the related Contract Files at
its office where they are currently maintained, or at such other offices of the
Servicer in the State of Minnesota as shall from time to time be identified to
the Trustee by written notice. The Servicer may temporarily move individual
Contract Files or any portion thereof without notice as necessary to conduct
collection and other servicing activities in accordance with its customary
practices and procedures.

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

                (i)   hold the Contract Files on behalf of the
          Certificateholders and the Trustee, maintain accurate records
          pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with the terms and
          conditions of this Agreement, maintain a current inventory thereof,
          conduct annual physical inspections of Contract Files held by it under
          this Agreement and certify to the Trustee annually that it continues
          to maintain possession of such Contract Files;

                (ii)  implement policies and procedures, in writing and signed
          by a Servicing Officer, with respect to persons authorized to have
          access to the Contract Files on the Servicer's premises and the
          receipting for Contract Files taken from their storage area by an
          employee of the Servicer for purposes of servicing or any other
          purposes; and

                (iii) attend to all details in connection with maintaining
          custody of the Contract Files on behalf of the Certificateholders and
          the Trustee.

          d.    In performing its duties under this Section, the Servicer agrees
to act with reasonable care, using that degree of skill and care that it
exercises with respect to similar contracts owned and/or serviced by it. The
Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure by it to hold the
Contract Files as herein provided and shall promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such failure. In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the
Servicer agrees further not to assert any beneficial ownership interests in the
Contracts or the Contract Files. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the
Certificateholders and the Trustee for any and all

                                      4-1
<PAGE>

liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, payments, costs or expenses of any
kind whatsoever which may be imposed on, incurred or asserted against the
Certificateholders and the Trustee as the result of any act or omission by the
Servicer relating to the maintenance and custody of the Contract Files;
provided, however, that the Servicer will not be liable for any portion of any
such amount resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of any
Certificateholder or the Trustee.

     SECTION 4.02.  Filings.
                    -------

     On or prior to the Closing Date, the Originator shall cause the UCC-1
financing statement referred to in Section 2.02(h) to be filed. Trustee shall
cause to be filed all necessary continuation statements of the UCC-1 financing
statement. From time to time the Servicer shall take and cause to be taken such
actions and execute such documents as are necessary to perfect and protect the
Certificateholders' interest in the Contracts and their proceeds and the
Manufactured Homes against all other persons, including, without limitation, the
filing of financing statements, amendments thereto and continuation statements,
the execution of transfer instruments and the making of notations on or taking
possession of all records or documents of title. The Servicer will maintain the
Trustee's first priority perfected security interest in each Manufactured Home
and a first lien on each Mortgaged Property so long as the related Contract is
property of the Trust.

     SECTION 4.03.  Name Change or Relocation.
                    -------------------------

     a.   During the term of this Agreement, the Originator shall change its
name, identity or structure or relocate its chief executive office without first
giving notice thereof to the Seller, the Trustee and the Servicer. In addition,
following any such change in the name, identity, structure or location of the
chief executive office of the Originator, the Originator shall give written
notice of any such change to S&P, Fitch and Moody's.

     b.   If any change in the Originator's name, identity or structure or the
relocation of its chief executive office would make any financing or
continuation statement or notice of lien filed under this Agreement seriously
misleading within the meaning of applicable provisions of the UCC or any title
statute or would cause any such financing or continuation statement or notice of
lien to become unperfected (whether immediately or with lapse of time), the
Originator, no later than five days after the effective date of such change,
shall file, or cause to be filed, such amendments or financing statements as may
be required to preserve, perfect and protect the Certificateholders' interest in
the Contracts and proceeds thereof and in the Manufactured Homes.

     SECTION 4.04.  Chief Executive Office.
                    ----------------------

Manufactured Homes granted thereby).

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

      SECTION 5.02.  Standard of Care.
                     ----------------

      In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the
Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer will exercise that degree of
skill and care consistent with the highest degree of skill and care that the
Servicer exercises with respect to similar contracts serviced by the Servicer;
provided, however, that (i) such degree of skill and care shall be at least as
favorable as the degree of skill and care generally applied by servicers of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts for institutional investors and
(ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not release or waive the
right to collect the unpaid balance on any Contract. The Servicer shall comply
with FHA/VA Regulations in servicing any FHA/VA Contracts (and will pay any
required premiums) so that the related insurance of the Federal Housing
Administration or partial guarantee of the Veterans Administration remains in
full force and effect, except for good faith disputes relating to FHA/VA
Regulations that will not cause the termination or reduction of such insurance
or guarantee.

      SECTION 5.03.  Records.
                     -------

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

      SECTION 5.04.  Inspection; Computer Tape.
                     -------------------------

      a.   At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business hours
to the Servicer's records, which have not previously been provided to the Trust,
relating to the Contracts and will cause its personnel to assist in any
examination of such records by the Trustee or its authorized agents. The
examination referred to in this Section will be conducted in a manner which does
not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's normal operations or customer or
employee relations.

                                      5-1
<PAGE>

Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the Trustee may make,
the Trustee may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of
each Contract and review the Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for
conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Article VI and compliance
with the standards represented to exist as to each Contract in this Agreement.

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

     c.   On or before the ninth Business Day of each related Due Period, the
Servicer will provide to the Trustee a Computer Tape setting forth a list of all
the outstanding Contracts and the outstanding principal balance of each such
Contract as of the end of the next related Due Period.

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

     a.   On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the
Certificate Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account.
The Certificate Account shall be entitled "U.S. Bank National Association as
Trustee for the benefit of holders of Manufactured Housing Contract Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2000-4 (Conseco Finance Corp., Servicer)." The Servicer
shall pay into the Certificate Account as promptly as practicable (not later
than the next Business Day) following receipt thereof all payments from Obligors
and Net Liquidation Proceeds, other than late payment penalty fees, extension
fees and assumption fees, which shall be retained by the Servicer as additional
compensation for servicing the Contracts. All amounts paid into the Certificate
Account under this Agreement shall be held in trust for the Trustee and the
Certificateholders until payment of any such amounts is authorized under this
Agreement. Only the Trustee may withdraw funds from the Certificate Account.

     b.   If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the
Certificate Account shall, in the name of the Trustee in its capacity as such,
invest the amounts in the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments that
mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Remittance
Date. Once such funds are invested, such institution shall not change the
investment of such funds. All income and gain from such investments shall be
added to the Certificate Account and distributed on such Remittance Date
pursuant to Section 8.03(a). An amount equal to any net loss on such investments
shall be deposited in the Certificate Account by the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder out of its own funds immediately as realized. The Servicer and
the Trustee shall in no way be liable for losses on amounts invested in
accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Certificate Account not so
invested must be insured to the extent permitted by law by the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation. "Eligible Investments" are any of the following:
                        --------------------

          (i) direct obligations of, and obligations fully guaranteed by, the
     United States of America, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation, the
     Federal National Mortgage Association, or any agency or instrumentality of
     the United States of America the obligations of which are backed by the
     full faith and credit of the United States of America and which are
     noncallable;

                                      5-2
<PAGE>

          (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 deposits of such
     depository institution or trust company (or, in the case of a depository
     institution which is the principal subsidiary of a holding company, the
     commercial paper or other short-term debt obligations of such holding
     company) are rated at least P-1 by Moody's, at least A-1 by Standard &
     Poor's and at least F-1 by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and (B) any other
     demand or time deposit or certificate of deposit which is fully insured by
     the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation;

          (iii)  shares of an investment company registered under the Investment
     Company Act of 1940, whose shares are registered under the Securities Act
     of 1933 and have the highest credit rating then available from Moody's and
     Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and are rated AAAm or AAAm-G by Standard & Poor's
     and whose only investments are in securities described in clauses (i), (ii)
     above and (iv) below;

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

          (v)    securities bearing interest or sold at a discount issued by any
     corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or
     any State thereof which have a credit rating of at least Aa2 from Moody's,
     at least AAA by Standard & Poor's and in one of the two highest rating
     categories from Fitch (if rated by Fitch) at the time of such investment;
     provided, however, that securities issued by any particular corporation
     will not be Eligible Investments to the extent that investment therein will
     cause the then outstanding principal amount of securities issued by such
     corporation and held as part of the corpus of the Trust to exceed 10% of
     amounts held in the Certificate Account;

          (vi)   commercial paper having a rating of at least A-1+ from Standard
     & Poor's and at least P-1 from Moody's (if rated by Moody's) at the time of
     such investment or pledge as a security; and

          (vii)  other obligations or securities that are acceptable to Moody's,
     Fitch and Standard & Poor's as an Eligible Investment hereunder and will
     not reduce the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by Moody's,
     Fitch or Standard & Poor's below the lower of the then-current rating or
     the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by Moody's,
     Fitch and Standard & Poor's, as evidenced in writing;

                                      5-3
<PAGE>

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

Notwithstanding the foregoing, securities that represent the right to receive
payments only of interest due on underlying obligations shall not be included as
Eligible Investments, whether or not such securities otherwise fall within (i)
through (vii) above.

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

The Originator, the Servicer and the Seller acknowledge that to the extent
regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory
agency grant the Originator, Seller or Servicer the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Originator, the Seller
and the Servicer specifically waive receipt of such confirmations.

     c.   If at any time the Trustee receives notice (from Standard & Poor's,
Moody's, Fitch or the Servicer or otherwise) that the Certificate Account has
ceased to be an Eligible Account, the Trustee must, as soon as practicable but
in no event later than 5 Business Days of the Trustee's receipt of such notice,
transfer the Certificate Account and all funds and Eligible Investments therein
to an Eligible Account. Following any such transfer, the Trustee must notify
each of Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch and the Servicer of the location of
the Certificate Account.

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

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

     b.   The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon Contracts, in its own
name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust. If the Servicer elects to commence
a legal proceeding to enforce a Contract, the act of commencement shall be
deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Contract to the Servicer for
purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal
proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Contract on the ground
that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Contract, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall, at the Servicer's expense,
take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Contract,
including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Certificateholders.

     c.   The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with the
Servicer's usual practice. In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is
authorized on the Trustee's behalf to reassign the Contract or to resell the
related Manufactured Home to the person against whom recourse exists at the
price set forth in the document creating the recourse.

                                      5-4
<PAGE>

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

     e.   So long as Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, the Servicer may,
consistent with its customary servicing procedures and consistent with Section
5.02, grant to the Obligor on any Contract an extension of payments due under
such Contract, provided that Obligors may not be solicited for extensions, no
such extension may extend beyond the final scheduled payment date of the
Contract with the latest maturity, as specified in Section 3.04(c), and no more
than one extension of payments under a Contract may be granted in any twelve-
month period.

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

     g.   Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the
Servicer shall not agree to the modification or waiver of any provision of a
Contract if such modification or waiver would be treated as a taxable exchange
under the REMIC Provisions.

     h.   In the event that one of the Contracts that were 60 or more days
delinquent as of the Closing Date ("Delinquent Contracts") goes into
foreclosure, if acquiring title to the related Mortgaged Property or
Manufactured Home would cause the adjusted basis, for federal income tax
purposes, of Delinquent Contracts that are currently in foreclosure or
repossession, along with any other assets owned by the Subsidiary REMIC other
than "qualified mortgages", qualified "foreclosure property" and "permitted
investments" within the meaning of Section 860G of the Code, to exceed 0.75% of
the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance, the Servicer shall not acquire title to
that Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC.
Instead, the Servicer shall dispose of the Mortgaged Property or Manufactured
Home for cash in a foreclosure sale. In addition, if the Servicer determines
that the adjusted basis of Delinquent Contracts that are currently in
foreclosure or repossession on any Remittance Date, along with any other assets
owned by the Subsidiary REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages", "foreclosure
property" and "permitted investments" with the meaning of Section 860G of the
Internal Revenue Code, exceeds 1.0% of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance
after giving effect to prepayments on the Contracts, then prior to such
Remittance Date, the Servicer shall dispose of sufficient Mortgaged Properties
and Manufactured Homes securing Delinquent Contracts and acquired upon
foreclosure repossession, for cash, so that the adjusted basis of Delinquent
Contracts that are currently in foreclosure or repossession, along with any
other assets owned by the Subsidiary REMIC, other than "qualified mortgages",
"foreclosure property" and "permitted investments" within the meaning of Section
860G of the Code, will be less than 1.0% of the Pool Scheduled Principal
Balance. In either event, the Servicer may acquire, for its own account and not
on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home
at the

                                      5-5
<PAGE>

foreclosure sale for an amount not less than the greater of: (i) the highest
amount bid by any other person at the foreclosure sale, or (ii) the estimated
fair value of the Mortgaged Property or Manufactured Home, as determined by the
Servicer in good faith.

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

     a.   Upon payment in full on any Contract, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee and Conseco Finance Corp. (if Conseco Finance Corp. is not the Servicer)
on the next succeeding Remittance Date by certification of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in
the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so deposited). The
Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction of such Contract
and to do such other acts and execute such other documents as the Servicer deems
necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and eliminate the lien on the
related real estate. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been paid
in full; to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Contract
credited by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall
shall be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds.

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

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

     SECTION 5.08.  Costs and Expenses.
                    ------------------

     All costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties
hereunder, including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement of Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts and
repossessions of Manufactured Homes securing such Contracts) shall be paid by
the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement hereunder,
except that the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of
a Liquidated Contract for Liquidation Expenses incurred by it. The Servicer
shall not incur such Liquidation Expenses unless it determines in its good faith
business judgment that incurring such expenses will increase the Net Liquidation
Proceeds on the related Contract.

                                      5-6
<PAGE>

     SECTION 5.09.  Maintenance of Insurance.
                    ------------------------

     a.   Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 5.09,
the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Contract one or
more Hazard Insurance Policies which provide, at a minimum, the same coverage as
a standard form fire and extended coverage insurance policy that is customary
for manufactured housing, issued by a company authorized to issue such policies
in the state in which the related Manufactured Home is located and in an amount
which is not less than the maximum insurable value of such Manufactured Home or
the principal balance due from the Obligor on the related Contract, whichever is
less; provided, however, that the amount of coverage provided by each Hazard
Insurance Policy shall be sufficient to avoid the application of any co-
insurance clause contained therein; and provided, further, that such Hazard
Insurance Policies may provide for customary deductible amounts. With respect
to: (a) a Manufactured Home securing an FHA/VA Contract, if such Manufactured
Home's location was, at the time of origination of the related FHA/VA Contract,
within a federally designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer shall also
cause such flood insurance to be maintained, which coverage shall be at least
equal to the minimum amount specified in the preceding sentence or such lesser
amount as may be available under the federal flood insurance program; and (b)
any Contract that is not an FHA/VA Contract, the Originator shall obtain (i) a
statement from the Obligor's insurance agent that the Manufactured Home was, at
the time of origination of the Contract, not in a federally designated special
flood hazard area, or (ii) evidence that, at the time of origination, flood
insurance was in effect, which coverage was at least equal to the minimum amount
specified in the preceding sentence or such lesser amount as may be available
under the federal flood insurance program. Each Hazard Insurance Policy caused
to be maintained by the Servicer shall contain a standard loss payee clause in
favor of the Servicer and its successors and assigns. If any Obligor is in
default in the payment of premiums on its Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies,
the Servicer shall pay such premiums out of its own funds and may separately add
such premium to the Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but shall
not add such premium to the remaining principal balance of the Contract.

     b.   The Servicer may, in lieu of causing individual Hazard Insurance
Policies to be maintained with respect to each Manufactured Home pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section 5.09, and shall, to the extent that the related
Contract does not require the Obligor to maintain a Hazard Insurance Policy with
respect to the related Manufactured Home, maintain one or more blanket insurance
policies covering losses on the creditor's interest in the Contracts resulting
from the absence or insufficiency of individual Hazard Insurance Policies. Any
such blanket policy shall be substantially in the form and in the amount carried
by the Servicer as of the date of this Agreement. The Servicer shall pay the
premium for such policy on the basis described therein and shall deposit into
the Certificate Account from its own funds any deductible amount with respect to
claims under such blanket insurance policy relating to the Contracts. The
Servicer shall not, however, be required to deposit any deductible amount with
respect to claims under individual Hazard Insurance Policies maintained pursuant
to subsection (a) of this Section. If the insurer under such blanket insurance
policy shall cease to be acceptable to the Servicer, the Servicer shall exercise
its best reasonable efforts to obtain from another insurer a replacement policy
comparable to such policy.

                                      5-7
<PAGE>

     c.   With respect to each Manufactured Home that has been repossessed in
connection with a defaulted Contract, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain one
or more Hazard Insurance Policies thereon or (ii) self-insure such Manufactured
Homes and deposit into the Certificate Account from its own funds any losses
caused by damage to such Manufactured Home that would have been covered by a
Hazard Insurance Policy.

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

     SECTION 5.10.  Repossession.
                    ------------

     Notwithstanding the standard of care specified in Section 5.02, the
Servicer shall commence procedures for the repossession of any Manufactured Home
or the foreclosure upon any Mortgaged Property or take such other steps that in
the Servicer's reasonable judgment will maximize the receipt of principal and
interest or Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Contract secured by
such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property (which may include retitling or
filing a recorded assignment of the Mortgage) subject to the requirements of the
applicable state and federal law, no later than five Business Days after the
time when such Contract becomes a Defaulted Contract; provided that if the
Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous
waste, then the Servicer shall not cause the Trust to acquire title to such
Mortgaged Property in a foreclosure or similar proceeding. For purposes of the
proviso in the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall not be deemed to have
actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property is affected by hazardous waste unless
it shall have received written notice that hazardous waste is present on such
property and such written notice has been made a part of the Land-and-Home
Contract File with respect to the related Contract. In connection with such
foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and
procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be consistent
with Section 5.02. In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired
in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of
sale shall be issued to the Trustee, as Trustee, or, at its election, to its
nominee on behalf of the Trustee, as Trustee.

     SECTION 5.11.  Commingling of Funds.
                    --------------------

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

                                      5-8
<PAGE>

     SECTION 5.12.  Retitling; Security Interests.
                    -----------------------------

     a.   If, at any time, a Service Transfer has occurred and Conseco Finance
Corp. is no longer the Servicer and the new Servicer is unable to foreclose upon
a Manufactured Home because the title document for such Manufactured Home does
not show such Servicer or the Trustee as the holder of the first priority
security interest in the Manufactured Home, such Servicer shall take all
necessary steps to apply for a replacement title document showing it or the
Trustee as the secured party.

     b.   In order to facilitate the Servicer's actions, as described in
subsection (a) of this section, Conseco Finance Corp. will provide the Servicer
with any necessary power of attorney permitting it to retitle the Manufactured
Home.

     c.   If the Servicer is still unable to retitle the Manufactured Home,
Conseco Finance Corp. will take all actions necessary to act with the Servicer
to foreclose upon the Manufactured Home, including, as appropriate, the filing
of any UCC-1 or UCC-2 financing statements necessary to perfect the security
interest in any Manufactured Home that constitutes a fixture under the laws of
the jurisdiction in which it is located and all actions necessary to perfect the
security interest in any Manufactured Home that is considered or classified as
part of the real estate on which it is located under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is located.

     d.   The Originator shall (i) deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel
to the effect that assignment and recordation of the Mortgages, securing Land-
and-Home Contracts relating to real estate located in any state other than those
states specified in such Opinion of Counsel (the "recordation states"), is not
necessary to effect the assignment to the Trustee of the Originator's lien on
the real property securing such Land-and-Home Contracts, and (ii) file in the
appropriate recording offices within [60] days after the Closing Date (or within
30 days after receipt of the recorded Mortgage, if later) the assignments to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust of the Mortgages securing all Land-and-Home
Contracts secured by Mortgages relating to real estate located in the
recordation states.

     SECTION 5.13.  Covenants, Representations and Warranties of Servicer.  By
                    -----------------------------------------------------
its execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Servicer makes the following
representations, warranties and covenants on which the Trust relies in accepting
the Contracts and issuing the Certificates.

     (a) Organization and Good Standing.  The Servicer is a corporation duly
         ------------------------------
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to own its assets
and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. The Servicer 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 Servicer, or its
ability to carry out its obligations hereunder.

                                      5-9
<PAGE>

     (b) Authorization; Binding Obligations.  The Servicer has the power and
         ----------------------------------
authority to make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement and has taken all necessary
corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement.  When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Servicer enforceable in accordance
with its terms, except as enforcement of such terms may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors'
rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

     (c) No Consent Required.  The Servicer is not required to obtain the
         -------------------
consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization
from, or registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or
agency in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, except for such consents, licenses, approvals

     SECTION 6.06.  Payment of Taxes.
                    ----------------

     The Servicer shall be responsible for and agrees to prepare, make and file
all federal, state, local or other tax returns, information statements and other
returns and documents of every kind and nature whatsoever required to be made or
filed by or on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC or Master REMIC pursuant to the
Code and other applicable tax laws and regulations. Each such return, statement
and document shall, to the extent required by the Code or other applicable law
and at the request of the Servicer, be signed on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC
or Master REMIC by the Trustee.  The Trustee shall have no responsibility
whatsoever for the

                                      6-7
<PAGE>

accuracy or completeness of any such return, statement or document. The Servicer
agrees to indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless for, from, against and in
respect to any and all liability, loss, damage and expense which may be incurred
by the Trustee based upon or as a result of the Trustee's execution of any and
all such tax returns, statements and documents. The Servicer, if and for so long
as it is a Class C Certificateholder, shall be designated the "tax matters
person" on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC, respectively, in
the same manner as a partnership may designate a "tax matters partner," as such
term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. To the extent permitted by
the REMIC Provisions, any subsequent holder of a Class C Certificate, by
acceptance thereof, irrevocably designates and appoints the Servicer as its
agent to perform the responsibilities of the "tax matters person" on behalf of
the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC, respectively, if, and during such
time as, the Servicer is not the holder of a Class C Certificate. The Servicer
may, at its expense, retain such outside assistance as it deems necessary in the
performance of its obligations under this paragraph.

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

     The Class C Subsidiary Certificateholders and the Class C Master
Certificateholders shall pay, on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master
REMIC, respectively, any foreign, federal, state or local income, property,
excise, sales, receipts or any other similar or related taxes or charges which
may be imposed upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC or
otherwise and shall, to the extent provided in Section 10.06, be entitled to be
reimbursed out of the Certificate Account or, if such tax or charge results from
a failure by the Trustee, the Originator or any Servicer to comply with the
provisions of Section 2.04 or 3.07, the Trustee, the Originator or such
Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Class C Certificateholders for
the payment of any such tax or charge. The Trustee shall be entitled to withhold
from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class C Certificateholders any taxes
or charges payable by the Class C Certificateholders hereunder.

     In the event a Class C Certificate is transferred to a "disqualified
organization," within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code, pursuant to
Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code the Seller shall provide to the Internal
Revenue Service and the persons specified in Sections 860E(e)(3) and (6) of the
Code all information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) and any
other applicable provision of the Code with respect to the transfer of such
Class C Certificate to such a disqualified organization including, without
limitation, a computation showing the present value of the total anticipated
excess inclusions with respect to such Class C

                                      6-8
<PAGE>

Certificate for periods after the transfer as defined in the REMIC Provisions.
In addition, to the extent required by the REMIC Provisions, the Seller shall,
upon the written request of persons designated in Section 860E(e)(3) of the
Code, furnish to such requesting party and the Internal Revenue Service
information sufficient to compute the present value of anticipated excess
inclusions within 60 days of the receipt of such written request.

     d.   A court or other governmental authority having jurisdiction in the

     SECTION 7.02.  Transfer.
                    --------

     If an Event of Termination has occurred and is continuing, either the
Trustee or Certificateholders with aggregate Percentage Interests representing
25% or more of the Trust, by notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the
Trustee if given by the Certificateholders) may

                                      7-1
<PAGE>

terminate all (but not less than all) of the Servicer's management,
administrative, servicing and collection functions (such termination being
herein called a "Service Transfer"). On receipt of such notice (or, if later, on
a date designated therein), or upon resignation of the Servicer in accordance
with Section 12.01, all authority and power of the Servicer under this
Agreement, whether with respect to the Contracts, the Contract Files, the Land-
and-Home Contract Files or otherwise (except with respect to the Certificate
Account, the transfer of which shall be governed by Section 7.06), shall pass to
and be vested in the Trustee pursuant to and under this Section 7.02; and,
without limitation, the Trustee is authorized and empowered to execute and
deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all
documents and other instruments (including, without limitation, documents
required to make the Trustee or a successor servicer the sole lienholder or
legal title holder of record of each Manufactured Home) and to do any and all
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice of
termination. Each of the Originator and the Servicer agrees to cooperate with
the Trustee in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of
the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the
Trustee for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be
held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the
Certificate Account, or for its own account in connection with its services
hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Contracts and the execution
of any documents required to make the Trustee or a successor servicer the sole
lienholder or legal title holder of record in respect of each Manufactured Home.
The Servicer shall be entitled to receive any other amounts which are payable to
the Servicer under the Agreement, at the time of the termination of its
activities as Servicer. The Servicer shall transfer to the new servicer (i) the
Servicer's records relating to the Contracts in such electronic form as the new
servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Contracts, Contract Files and Land-
and-Home Contract Files in the Servicer's possession.

     SECTION 7.03.  Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor.
                    ----------------------------------------

     On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 7.02 or the resignation of the Servicer in accordance with
Section 12.01, the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the
Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions
set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer
by the terms and provisions hereof and the Servicer shall be relieved of such
responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Service Transfer;
provided, however, that (i) the Trustee will not assume any obligations of the
Originator pursuant to Section 3.06 and (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for
any acts or omissions of the Servicer occurring prior to such Service Transfer
or for any breach by the Servicer of any of its obligations contained herein or
in any related document or agreement.  As compensation therefor, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation out of the Monthly
Servicing Fee and the Additional Monthly Servicing Fee.  Notwithstanding the
above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is
legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in
the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Servicer hereunder.  Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided.  In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the

                                      7-2
<PAGE>

Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of
payments on Contracts as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however,
that no such monthly compensation shall, without the written consent of 100% of
the Certificateholders, exceed the sum of the Monthly Servicing Fee plus the
Additional Monthly Servicing Fee. The Trustee and such successor shall take such
action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any
such succession.

     SECTION 7.04.  Notification to Certificateholders.
                    ----------------------------------

     a.   Promptly following the occurrence of any Event of Termination, the
Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee, Standard & Poor's,
Moody's, Fitch and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses
appearing on the Certificate Register.

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

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

     SECTION 7.05.  Effect of Transfer.
                    ------------------

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

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

     c.   A Service Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the
parties hereunder (including but not limited to the indemnities of the Servicer
and the Originator pursuant to Article X and Sections 3.06, 11.06 and 11.11(f))
other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing or
collection of the Contracts.

     SECTION 7.06.  Transfer of Certificate Account.
                    -------------------------------

     Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.02, if the Certificate Account
shall be maintained with the Servicer and an Event of Termination shall occur
and be continuing, the Servicer shall, after five days' written notice from the
Trustee, or in any event within ten days

                                      7-3
<PAGE>

after the occurrence of the Event of Termination, establish an Eligible Account
with an institution other than the Servicer and promptly transfer all funds in
the Certificate Account to such new account, which shall thereafter be deemed
the Certificate Account for the purposes hereof.

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

     a.   Subject to the terms of this Article VIII, each Holder of a
Certificate as of a Record Date shall be paid on the next succeeding Remittance
Date by check mailed on such Remittance Date to such Certificateholder at the
address for such Certificateholder appearing on the Certificate Register (or, if
such Certificateholder holds a Class of Class A Certificates, Class M
Certificates, or Class B Certificates with an aggregate Percentage Interest of
at least 5% or a Class B-3I, Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master
Certificateholder holds Class B-3I, Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master
Certificates with an aggregate Percentage Interest of at least 20% and so
requests, by wire transfer pursuant to instructions delivered to the Trustee at
least ten days prior to such Remittance Date), the sum equal to such
Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of all amounts distributed on the
applicable Class of Certificates. Final payment of any Certificate shall be made
only upon presentation of such 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
Originator, the Seller nor the Servicer 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 forms of the Class A, Class M, and Class B Certificates as set
forth in Exhibits A, B and C hereto.

     c.   The Trustee shall either act as the paying agent or shall appoint an
institution meeting the eligibility requirements set forth in Section 11.06 to
be the paying agent (in either case, the "Paying Agent") and cause it to make
the payments to the Certificateholders required hereunder. The Trustee's
Corporate Trust Office at 180 East Fifth Street, 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 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.

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

     The Trustee may, 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 Contracts for the following purposes:

          a.  to make payments in the amounts and in the manner provided for in
     Section 8.03;

          b.  to pay to the Originator with respect to each Contract or property
     acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased or replaced pursuant
     to Section 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;

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

     was not required to be deposited therein; or

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

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

                    --------

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

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

     a.   Subject to the conditions in subsection (b) below, the Class C
Subsidiary Certificateholder shall have the option to purchase all of the
Contracts and all property acquired in respect of any Contract remaining in the
Trust at a price (such price being referred to as the "Minimum Purchase Price")
equal to the greater of:

                                      8-8
<PAGE>

     A.   the sum of (x) 100% of the principal balance of each Contract (other
          than any Contract as to which title to the underlying property has
          been acquired and whose fair market value is included pursuant to
          clause (y) below), plus (y) the fair market value of such acquired
          property (as determined by the Originator as of the close of business
          on the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of
          any such termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to
          Section 12.04) or

     B.   the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the Originator as of
          the close of business on such third Business Day) of all of the assets
          of the Trust,

plus, in either case, any Unpaid Class A Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class
M-1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-1 Liquidation Loss Interest
Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-2 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-2

B-2 Interest Shortfall as well as one month's interest at the applicable
Contract Rate on the Scheduled Principal Balance of each Contract (including any
Contract as to which the related Manufactured Home has been repossessed).

     b.   The purchase by the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder of all of the
Contracts pursuant to Section 8.05(a) above shall be at the option of the Class
C Subsidiary Certificateholder, but shall be conditioned upon (1) the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance, at the time of any such purchase, aggregating not
more than 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, (2) such purchase
being made pursuant to a plan of complete liquidation of each of the Subsidiary
REMIC and the Master REMIC in accordance with Section 860F of the Code, as
provided in Section 12.03, (3) the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder having
provided the Trustee and the Depository (if any) with at least 30 days' written
notice and (4) the Originator or the Servicer (as applicable) shall have
delivered to the Trustee an unqualified Opinion of Counsel stating that payment
of the purchase price to the Certificateholders will not constitute a voidable
preference or fraudulent transfer under the United States Bankruptcy Code.  If
such option is exercised, the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder, as
applicable, shall provide to the Trustee the certification required by Section
12.03, which certificate shall constitute a plan of complete liquidation of each
of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC within the meaning of Section 860F
of the Code, and the Trustee shall promptly sign such certification and release
to the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder, the Contract Files and Land-and-
Home Contract Files pertaining to the Contracts being repurchased.

     c.   The Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder may assign its rights under
this Section 8.05, separately from its other rights as Holder of the Class C
Subsidiary Certificates, by giving written notice of such assignment to the
Trustee.  Following the Trustee's receipt of such notice of assignment, the
Trustee shall recognize only such assignee (or its assignee in turn) as the
Person entitled to exercise the purchase option set forth in Section 8.05(a).

     d.   The Servicer shall notify the Trustee and the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder (whether or not the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder has
then assigned its rights under this Section 8.05 pursuant to subsection (c)) no
later than two Business Days after the Determination

                                      8-9
<PAGE>

Date relating to the first Due Period which includes the date on which the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance first becomes less than or equal to 20% of the Cut-
off Date Pool Principal Balance, to the effect that the Pool Scheduled Principal
Balance is then less than or equal to 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal
Balance.

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

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

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

     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 with the meaning of Section 860F of
the Code, and the Trustee shall release to the winning bidder, upon payment of
the bid purchase price, the Contract Files pertaining to the Contracts being
purchased.

                                     8-10

     f.   If the Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder (or its assignee) has not
delivered to the Trustee the notice of exercise of its purchase option required
by subsection (b) by the Remittance Date occurring in the month following the
Determination Date specified in subsection (d), then on the following Remittance
Date and each Remittance Date thereafter the Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2
Certificates, Class B-1 Certificates, and Class B-2 Certificates shall be
entitled to receive the Additional Principal Distribution Amount pursuant to
Section 8.03(a)(12), allocated among such classes pro rata based upon the

Section 2.02(s).  The Capitalized Interest Account shall be entitled "U.S. Bank
National Association as Trustee for the benefit of holders of Manufactured
Housing Contract Senior/Subordinate Pass-Through Certificates Series 2000-4." On
the Remittance Dates occurring in September 2000 and October 2000, if the
Monthly Report for such Remittance Date indicates that the Amount Available

including in the Amount Available only payments in respect of interest on the
Contracts) is not sufficient to pay the Class A Interest Distribution Amount,
plus the Class M-1 Interest Distribution Amount, plus the Class M-2 Interest
Distribution Amount, plus the Class B-1 Interest Distribution Amount, the
Trustee shall withdraw the amount of such deficiency, or the amount of funds in

     amount equal to 100% of the Cut-off Date Principal Balance of each
     Subsequent Contract transferred and assigned to the Trustee on such
     Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such amount to or upon the order of the
     Seller upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 2.03(b)
     with respect to such transfer and assignment.

          (ii)  On the Business Day immediately preceding the Post-Funding

     Contract and pay such amount to or upon the order of the Seller.

          (ii)  [Reserved]

     amounts remaining in the Undelivered Contract Subaccount, net of investment
     earnings.

     d.   The Pre-Funding Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of the

     b.   (1)  Subject to clauses (2) and (3) below, no transfer of a Class B-2
Certificate, Class B-3I Certificate, Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C
Master Certificate shall be made by the Originator or any other Person unless
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, as
amended, and any applicable state securities laws or is made in accordance with
the Act and laws.  In the event that any such transfer is to be made, (A) the
Originator may require a written Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form
and substance satisfactory to the Originator that such transfer may be made
pursuant to an exemption, describing the applicable exemption and the basis
therefor, from the Act and laws or is being made pursuant to the Act and laws,
which Opinion of Counsel shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the
Originator, and (B) the Trustee shall require the transferee to execute an
investment letter substantially in the form of Exhibit M attached hereto, which
investment letter shall not be an expense of the Trustee or the Originator.  Any
Class B-2 Certificateholder, Class B-3I Certificateholder, Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder or Class C Master Certificateholder desiring to effect such
transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the Originator
and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result if the
transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal and
state laws.

          (2)  No transfer of a Class M-1 Certificate, a Class M-2 Certificate,
a Class B Certificate, a Class B-3I Certificate, a Class C Subsidiary
Certificate or a Class C Master Certificate or any interest therein shall be
made to any employee benefit plan, trust or account that is subject to ERISA, or
that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code (each, a "Plan"), unless the
prospective transferee of a Certificate or interest therein provides the
Servicer and the Trustee with a certification of facts and, at its own expense,
an Opinion of Counsel which establish to the satisfaction of the Servicer and
the Trustee that such transfer will not result in a violation of Section 406 of
ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or cause the Servicer, the Originator or the
Trustee to be deemed a fiduciary of such Plan or result in the imposition of an
excise tax under Section 4975 of the Code.

          (3)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, (A)
neither the Class C Subsidiary Certificate nor the Class C Master Certificate,
nor any interest therein, shall be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of to
a "disqualified organization," within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the
Code (a "Disqualified Organization"), including, but not limited to, (i) the
United States, a state or political subdivision thereof, a foreign government,
an

                                      9-2
<PAGE>

international organization or an agency or instrumentality of any of the
foregoing, (ii) an organization (other than a cooperative described in Section
521 of the Code) which is exempt from the taxes imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code
and not subject to the tax imposed on unrelated business income by Section 511
of the Code, or (iii) a cooperative described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of the
Code, and (B) prior to any registration of any transfer, sale or other
disposition of the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C Master Certificate,
the proposed transferee shall deliver to the Trustee, under penalties of
perjury, an affidavit that such transferee is not a Disqualified Organization,
with respect to which the Trustee shall have no actual knowledge that such
affidavit is false, and the transferor and the proposed transferee shall each
deliver for the Trustee an affidavit with respect to any other information
reasonably required by the Trustee pursuant to the REMIC Provisions, including,
without limitation, information regarding the transfer of noneconomic residual
interests and transfers of any residual interest to or by a foreign person;
provided, however, that, upon the delivery to the Trustee of an Opinion of
Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee and rendered by
Independent counsel, to the effect that the beneficial ownership of the Class C
Subsidiary Certificate or the Class C Master Certificate, as the case may be, by
any Disqualified Organization will not result in the imposition of federal
income tax upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC or any
Certificateholder or any other person or otherwise adversely affect the status
of the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC, the foregoing
prohibition on transfers, sales and other dispositions, as well as the foregoing
requirement to deliver a certificate prior to any registration thereof, shall,
with respect to such Disqualified Organization, terminate. Notwithstanding any
transfer, sale or other disposition of the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or
Class C Master Certificate, or any interest therein, to a Disqualified
Organization or the registration thereof in the Certificate Register, such
transfer, sale or other disposition and any registration thereof, unless
accompanied by the Opinion of Counsel described in the preceding sentence, shall
be deemed to be void and of no legal force or effect whatsoever and such
Disqualified Organization shall be deemed to not be the Class C Subsidiary or
Class C Master Certificateholder, as the case may be, for any purpose hereunder,
including, but not limited to, the receipt of distributions on the Class C
Subsidiary Certificate or Class C Master Certificate, and shall be deemed to
have no interest whatsoever in the Class C Subsidiary Certificate or Class C
Master Certificate.  Each Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master
Certificateholder, by his acceptance thereof, shall be deemed for all purposes
to have consented to the provisions of this Section 9.02(b)(3).

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

          (5)  The Trustee shall give notice to Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
Moody's promptly following any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class B-
3I, Class C Subsidiary or Class C Master Certificate.

     c.   At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged
for other Certificates of authorized denominations of a like aggregate original
denomination, upon

                                      9-3
<PAGE>

surrender of such Certificates to be exchanged at such office. Whenever any
Certificates are so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and
deliver the Certificates which the Certificateholder making the exchange is
entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for transfer or
exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or shall be accompanied by a written
instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Trustee and the Certificate
Registrar duly executed by the holder thereof or his or her attorney duly
authorized in writing.

     d.   Except as provided in paragraph (e) below, the Book-Entry Certificates
shall at all times remain registered in the name of the Depository or its
nominee and at all times:  (i) registration of the Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2
and Class B 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
Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B Certificates; (iii) ownership and
transfers of registration of the Class A, Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B
Certificates on the books of the Depository shall be governed by applicable
rules established by the Depository; (iv) the Depository may collect its usual
and customary fees, charges and expenses from its Depository Participants; (v)
the Trustee shall deal with the Depository, Depository Participants and indirect
participating firms as representatives of the Certificate Owners of the Class A,
Class M and Class B Certificates for purposes of exercising the rights of
Holders under this Agreement, and requests and directions for and votes of such
representatives shall not be deemed to be inconsistent if they are made with
respect to different Certificate Owners; and (vi) the Trustee may rely and shall
be fully protected in relying upon information furnished by the Depository with
respect to its Depository Participants and furnished by the Depository
Participants with respect to indirect participating firms and persons shown on
the books of such indirect participating firms as direct or indirect Certificate
Owners.

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

     e.   If (x) the Seller or the Depository advises the Trustee in writing
that the Depository is no longer willing or able properly to discharge its
responsibilities as Depository and (y) the Trustee or the Originator is unable
to locate a qualified successor or (z) the Originator at its sole option advises
the Trustee in writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system through
the Depository, the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners, through the
Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the availability of
definitive, fully registered Class A Certificates, Class M Certificates and
Class B Certificates (the "Definitive Certificates") to Certificate Owners
requesting the same.  Upon surrender to the Trustee of the Class A Certificates,
Class M-1 Certificates, Class M-2 Certificates and Class B Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall issue the Definitive Certificates.  Neither the
Originator nor the Trustee shall be liable for any delay in delivery of such
instructions and may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on,
such instructions.  Upon the issuance of Definitive Certificates all references
herein to obligations imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be

                                      9-4
<PAGE>

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 A-1 Certificate, one Class A-2 Certificate, one Class A-3
Certificate, one Class A-4 Certificate, one Class A-5 Certificate, two Class A-6
Certificates, one Class M-1 Certificate, one Class M-2 Certificate, one Class B-
1 Certificate and one Class B-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 related Original Principal Balance, respectively.
If, however, the aggregate principal amount of a Class of Class A Certificates,
Class M Certificates or Class B Certificates exceeds $200,000,000, one such
Class A Certificate, Class M Certificate and/or Class B Certificate will be
issued with respect to each $200,000,000 of principal amount and an additional
Certificate of such Class or Classes will be issued with respect to any
remaining principal amount.  Each such Class A, Class M and Class B Certificate
registered in the name of the Depository's nominee shall bear the following
legend:

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

      SECTION 9.03.  No Charge; Disposition of Void Certificates.
                     -------------------------------------------

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

      SECTION 9.04.  Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
                     -------------------------------------------------

     If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate
Registrar, or the Certificate Registrar receives evidence to its satisfaction of
the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to
the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee such security or indemnity as may be
required by each to save it harmless, then in the absence of notice to the
Certificate Registrar or the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by
a bona fide purchaser, the Trustee shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or
in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate, a new
Certificate of like tenor and original denomination. Upon the issuance of any
new Certificate under this Section 9.04, the Trustee may require the payment of
a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be
imposed in relation thereto and any other expenses connected therewith.  Any
duplicate Certificate issued

                                      9-5
<PAGE>

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 shall be
found at any time.

      SECTION 9.05.  Persons Deemed Owners.
                     ---------------------

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

      SECTION 9.06.  Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
                     ---------------------------------------------------------

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

      SECTION 9.07.  Authenticating Agents.
                     ---------------------

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

      SECTION 10.01.  Seller's and Originator's Indemnities.
                      -------------------------------------

     The Seller and Originator will jointly and severally defend and indemnify
the Trust, the Trustee (including the Custodian, the Paying Agent and any other
agents of the Trustee) and the Certificateholders against any and all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation of any third-party claims (i)
arising out of or resulting from the origination of any Contract (including but
not limited to truth in lending requirements) or the servicing of such Contract
prior to its transfer to the Trust (but only to the extent such cost, expense,
loss, damage, claim or liability is not provided for by the Originator's
repurchase of such Contract pursuant to Section 3.06) or (ii) arising out of or
resulting from the use or ownership of any Manufactured Homes by the Originator
or the Servicer or any Affiliate of either.  Notwithstanding any other provision
of this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this Section shall not
terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII, except that the
obligation of the Originator under this Section shall not relate to the actions
of any subsequent Servicer after a Service Transfer.

      SECTION 10.02.  Liabilities to Obligors.
                      -----------------------

     No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts is
intended to be assumed by the Trust or the Certificateholders under or as a
result of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the
maximum extent permitted and valid under mandatory provisions of law, the Trust
and the Certificateholders expressly disclaim such assumption.

      SECTION 10.03.  Tax Indemnification.
                      -------------------

     The Originator agrees to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold harmless
the Trust, the Trustee (including the Custodian, the Paying Agent and any other
agents of the Trustee) and the Certificateholders from, any taxes which may at
any time be asserted with respect to, and as of the date of, the transfer of the
Contracts to the Trust, including, without limitation, any sales, gross
receipts, general corporation, personal property, privilege or license taxes
(but not including any federal, state or other taxes arising out of the creation
of the Trust and the issuance of the Certificates), any tax imposed on the Trust
as a result of the Originator's repurchase of any Contract pursuant to Section
3.06(c), and costs, expenses and reasonable counsel fees in defending against
the same, whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by the
Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee under this Agreement or
imposed against the Trust, a Certificateholder or otherwise.

      SECTION 10.04.  Servicer's Indemnities.
                      ----------------------

     The Servicer shall defend and indemnify the Trust, the Trustee (including
the Custodian, the Paying Agent and any other agents of the Trustee) and the
Certificateholders against any and

                                     10-1
<PAGE>

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
Contract. This indemnity shall survive any Service Transfer (but the original
Servicer's obligations under this Section 10.04 shall not relate to any actions
of any subsequent Servicer after a Service Transfer) and any payment of the
amount owing under, or any repurchase by the Originator of, any such Contract.

      SECTION 10.05.  Operation of Indemnities.
                      ------------------------

     Indemnification under this Article shall include, without limitation,
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation.  If the
Originator or the Servicer has made any indemnity payments to the Trustee
pursuant to this Article and the Trustee thereafter collects any of such amounts
from others, the Trust will repay such amounts collected to the Originator or
the Servicer, as the case may be, without interest.

      SECTION 10.06.  REMIC Tax Matters.
                      -----------------

     If Class C Subsidiary Certificateholders or Class C Master
Certificateholders, pursuant to Section 6.06, pay any taxes or charges imposed
upon the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC, as the case may be, as a REMIC or
otherwise, such taxes or charges, except to the extent set forth in the
following proviso, shall be expenses and costs of the Trust and the Class C
Subsidiary Certificateholders or Class C Master Certificateholders shall be
entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the Certificate Account as provided in
Section 8.03; provided, however, that any such taxes or charges shall not be
expenses or costs of the Trust, nor will the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholders or Class C Master Certificateholders be entitled to
reimbursement therefor out of the Certificate Account, if and to the extent that
such taxes or charges resulted from a failure by the Originator, the Trustee or
any Servicer to comply with the provisions of Section 2.04.

                                     10-2

                                  ARTICLE XI

                                  THE TRUSTEE
                                  -----------

     SECTION 11.01.   Duties of Trustee.
                      -----------------

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

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

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

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

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

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

          d.   The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any event
     referred to in Section 7.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at
     the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such event or the
     Trustee receives written notice of such

                                     11-1
<PAGE>

     event from the Servicer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing, as to
     any Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more.

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

     SECTION 11.02.   Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
                      -------------------------------------

     Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01:

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

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

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

          d.   Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and after the
     curing of all Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee
     shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters
     stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
     report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or
     document, unless requested in writing so to do by Holders of Certificates
     evidencing, as to any Class, Percentage Interests representing 25% or more;
     provided,

                                     11-2
<PAGE>

     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

          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

thereof).  The Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or
sufficiency of this Agreement, of the Certificates (other than its execution
thereof) or of any Contract, Contract File, Land-and-Home Contract File or
related document.  The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or
application by the Servicer, the Originator or the Seller of funds paid to the
Originator or the Seller, as applicable, in consideration of conveyance of the
Contracts to the Trust by the Originator and the Seller or deposited into or
withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Servicer.

                      -----------------------------------------------------
Waive Event of Termination.

     Holders of Class A Certificates, Holders of Class M Certificates and
Holders of Class B Certificates evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage
Interests representing 25% or more shall have the right to direct the time,
method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the
Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided,
however, that, subject to Section 11.01, the Trustee shall have the right to
decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel
determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the
Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the
Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve
it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of
Certificateholders not parties to such direction; and provided further that
nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any
action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such
direction by the Certificateholders; and provided further that the Trustee shall
instead follow the directions of Holders of Class A Certificates, Holders of
Class M Certificates and Holders of Class B Certificates evidencing, as to each
such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 51% or more whenever it receives
conflicting directions from Class A Certificateholders, Class M
Certificateholders and Class B Certificateholders.  Holders of Class A
Certificates, Holders of Class M Certificates and Holders of Class B
Certificates evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage Interests
representing 51% or more may on behalf of Certificateholders waive any past
Event of Termination hereunder and its consequences, except a default in respect

covenant or provision hereof which under Section 12.07 cannot be modified or
amended without the consent of all Certificateholders, and upon any such waiver,
such Event of Termination shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been
cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to
any subsequent or other Event of Termination or impair any right consequent
thereon. Following the Class M-2 Cross-Over Date, if all distributions payable
to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class M Certificateholders have either
been made or provided for in accordance with this Agreement, then the Holders of
Class B-1 Certificates may exercise the rights given to the Class A
Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders and Class B-1
Certificateholders under this Section. Following the Class B-1 Cross-Over Date,
if all distributions payable to the Class A Certificateholders and the Class M
Certificateholders have either been made or provided for in accordance with this

given to the Class A Certificateholders, the Class M Certificateholders and
Class B-1 Certificateholders under this Section.

     SECTION 11.05.  The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses.
                     -----------------------------------------------

     The Servicer agrees:

          a.   to pay to the Trustee reasonable compensation for all services
     rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any

     trust) including the services provided in connection with any auctions
     pursuant to Section 8.05(e);

          b.   except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the
     Trustee, to the extent requested by the Trustee, for all reasonable

     compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel,
     and reasonable compensation expenses and disbursements in connection with
     any auctions pursuant to Section 8.05(e)), except any such expense,
     disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad
     faith; and

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

     All such payments by the Servicer shall be made from its own funds.  The
covenants in this Section 11.05 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee in its
capacities as Trustee, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar hereunder, and
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or shall be a member of a bank holding

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 11.06, the combined capital and
surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as
set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In addition, the
Trustee shall at all times have a long-term deposit rating (or, if the Trustee
is a wholly owned subsidiary of a bank holding company system and not rated, the
bank holding company shall have a long-term senior unsecured debt rating) from
Standard & Poor's of at least BBB or as shall be otherwise acceptable to
Standard & Poor's and a rating from Moody's (if rated by Moody's) of at least
Baa3 or as shall be otherwise acceptable to Moody's. In case at any time the
Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this
Section 11.06, the Trustee shall resign immediately in the manner and with the
effect specified in Section 11.07.

     SECTION 11.07. Resignation or Removal of Trustee.
                    ---------------------------------

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

     If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 11.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Originator, or if at any time the Trustee shall be legally
unable to act, or shall be adjudged a bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver of
the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer shall
take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for the
purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Originator may
remove the Trustee.  If the Originator shall have removed the Trustee under the
authority of the immediately preceding sentence, the Originator shall promptly
appoint a successor Trustee by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of
which instrument shall be delivered to the Trustee so removed and one copy to
the successor Trustee.

     Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
Trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 11.07 shall not become
effective until acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee as provided
in Section 11.08.

     SECTION 11.08. Successor Trustee.
                    -----------------

     Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer, the Originator and to its predecessor
Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the
resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and
such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall
become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its
predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee. The
predecessor Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the successor
Trustee the Contracts, Contract Files and Land-and-Home Contract Files and any
related documents and statements held by it hereunder; and, if the Land-and-Home
Contract Files are then held by a custodian pursuant to a custodial agreement,
the predecessor Trustee and the custodian shall amend such custodial agreement
to make the successor Trustee the successor to the predecessor Trustee
thereunder; and the Servicer, the Originator and the predecessor Trustee shall
execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as may reasonably
be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the successor
Trustee all such rights, powers, duties and obligations.

     No successor Trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
11.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor Trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 11.06.

     Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in this
Section 11.08, the Servicer shall cause notice of the succession of such Trustee
hereunder to be mailed to each Certificateholder at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register. If the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten
days after acceptance of appointment by the successor Trustee, the successor
Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.

     SECTION 11.09. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
                    ----------------------------------

     Any Person into which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which
it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 11.06, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Trustee shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
Moody's in the event it is a party to any merger, conversion or consolidation.

     SECTION 11.10. Tax Returns.
                    -----------

     SECTION 11.11. Obligor Claims.
                    --------------

     In connection with any offset defenses, or affirmative claims for recovery,
asserted in legal actions brought by Obligors under one or more Contracts based
upon provisions therein complying with, or upon other rights or remedies arising
from, any legal requirements applicable to the Contracts, including, without
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 seller of home improvements, in the arrangement, origination or
     making of Contracts. The Trustee is the holder of the Contracts only as
     trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders, 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 for any offset defense amounts applied against Contract
     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.

          e.   The Trustee will cooperate with and assist Certificateholders 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 from and against any and all
     liability, loss, costs and expenses of the Trustee, Certificateholders
     resulting from any affirmative claims for recovery asserted or collected by
     Obligors under the Contracts. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
     Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this Section 11.11(f)
     shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII.

     SECTION 11.12. Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
                    ---------------------------------------------

     The Servicer shall have the power from time to time to appoint one or more
persons or corporations to act either as co-trustees jointly with the Trustee,
or as separate trustees, or as custodians, for the purpose of conforming to any
legal requirement, restriction or condition

<PAGE>

(i) with respect to the holding of the Contracts, the Contract Files and the
Land-and-Home Contract Files or (ii) with respect to the enforcement of a
Contract in any state in which a Manufactured Home is located or in any state in
which any portion of the Trust is located. The separate trustees, co-trustees,
or custodians so appointed shall be trustees or custodians for the benefit of
all Certificateholders and shall, subject to the provisions of the following
paragraph, have such powers, rights and remedies as shall be specified in the
instrument of appointment; provided, however, that no such appointment shall, or
shall be deemed to, constitute the appointee an agent of the Trustee.

     Every separate trustee, co-trustee and custodian shall, to the extent
permitted by law, be appointed and act subject to the following provisions and
conditions:

          (A)  all powers, duties, obligations and rights conferred upon the
     Trustee in respect of the receipt, custody and payment of monies shall be
     exercised solely by the Trustee;

          (B)  all other rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or
     imposed upon the Trustee, to the extent also imposed upon such separate
     trustees, co-trustees or custodians, shall be conferred or imposed upon
     and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such separate trustee, co-
     trustee, or custodian jointly, except to the extent that under any law of
     any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed,
     the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or
     acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
     holding of the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall
     be exercised and performed by such separate trustee, co-trustee, or
     custodian;

          (C)  no separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder shall be
     personally liable by reason of any act or omission of any other separate
     trustee, co-trustee or custodian hereunder; and

          (D)  the Servicer may at any time accept the resignation of or remove
     any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian, so appointed by it.

     If any separate trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall die, become
incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties,
rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to
the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor
trustee or custodian. The reasonable fees and expenses of any such separate
trustee, co-trustee or custodian shall be treated as additional fees and
expenses of the Trustee subject to Section 11.05 and payable by the Servicer if
and only to the extent the Servicer shall have consented in writing to his or
its appointment, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

     SECTION 11.13. Agents of Trustee.
                    -----------------

     To the extent not prohibited by law and not inconsistent with the terms of
this Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 11.12), the Trustee may,

     SECTION 12.01. Servicer Not to Assign Duties or Resign; Delegation of
                    ------------------------------------------------------
Servicing Functions.
-------------------

     The Servicer may not sell or assign its rights and duties as Servicer
hereunder, except as expressly provided for herein, provided that the Servicer
may pledge or assign the right to receive all or any portion of the Monthly
Servicing Fee and the Additional Monthly Servicing Fee payable to it. The
Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it
except upon determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is no
longer permissible under applicable law or is in material conflict by reason of
applicable law with any other activities carried on by it. Any such
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by
an Opinion of Counsel for the Servicer to such effect addressed and delivered to
the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a
successor servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of
the Servicer in accordance with Sections 7.02 and 7.03.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing:

          a.   Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or consolidated,
     or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation
     to which the Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the
     business of the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder,
     without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part
     of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
     notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person
     to the Servicer shall satisfy the criteria set forth in the definition of
     an Eligible Servicer. The Servicer shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's,
     Fitch and Moody's of any such merger to which it is a party.

          b.   Any Person acquiring all or substantially all of the manufactured
     housing division of Conseco Finance Corp., who assumes all of the
     obligations of the Servicer hereunder and who satisfies the criteria set
     forth in the definition of "Eligible Servicer," shall become the Servicer
     hereunder. The Servicer shall promptly notify Standard & Poor's, Fitch and
     Moody's of any such acquisition.

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

     SECTION 12.03. Termination.
                    -----------

     a.   This Agreement shall terminate (after distribution of all amounts due
to Certificateholders pursuant to Sections 8.01 and 8.03) on the earlier of (a)
the Remittance Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is reduced to
zero and all amounts payable to Certificateholders on such Remittance Date have
been distributed to Certificateholders or (b) the Remittance Date on which the
Class C Subsidiary Certificateholder purchases the Contracts pursuant to Section
8.05; provided, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond
the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the
descendants of 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.

     b.   Notice of any termination, specifying the Final Remittance Date (which
shall be a date that would otherwise be a Remittance Date) upon which all
Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the Trustee for payment
of the final distribution and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Trustee (upon direction by the Originator ten days prior to the date such notice
is to be mailed) by letter to Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Fitch and the
Certificateholders mailed no later than the fifth Business Day of the month of
the Final Remittance Date specifying (1) the Final Remittance Date upon which
final payment on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and surrender

the amount of any such final payment; and (3) that the Record Date otherwise
applicable to such Remittance Date is not applicable, payments being made only
upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates at the office or agency of
the Trustee therein specified. Any notice of purchase of Contracts by the
Originator or the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.05 shall constitute the
adoption by the Trustee on behalf of the Certificateholders of a plan of
complete liquidation of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC within the
meaning of Section 860F of the Code on the date such notice is given when signed
by the Trustee. Each such notice shall, to the extent required by the REMIC
Provisions or other applicable law, be signed on behalf of the Subsidiary REMIC
and the Master REMIC by the Trustee. The Trustee shall give such notice to the
Certificate Registrar at the time such notice is given to the
Certificateholders. In the event such notice is given in connection with the
sale of the Contracts pursuant to Section 8.05, the Class C Subsidiary
Certificateholder or the Trustee, as applicable, shall deposit in the
Certificate Account on the Final Remittance Date in immediately available funds
an amount equal to the above-described purchase price and upon such deposit
Certificateholders will be entitled to the amount of such purchase price but not
amounts in excess

                                     12-2

thereof, all as provided herein. Upon certification to the Trustee by a
Servicing Officer, following such final deposit the Trustee shall promptly
release to the purchaser of the Contracts pursuant to Section 8.05 the Contract
Files for the remaining Contracts, and the Trustee shall execute all
assignments, endorsements and other instruments necessary to effectuate such
transfer.

     c.   Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee shall
cause to be distributed from the Certificate Account, in the following order of
priority, to Certificateholders on the Final Remittance Date in proportion to
their respective Percentage Interests an amount equal to (i) as to Class A
Certificates, the Class A Principal Balance, together with any Unpaid Class A

1.03), (ii) as to Class M-1 Certificates, the Class M-1 Principal Balance
together with any Unpaid Class M-1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-1

Certificates, the Class M-2 Principal Balance together with any Unpaid Class M-2
Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class M-2 Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and
one month's interest at the Class M-2 Remittance Rate on the Class M-2 Principal
Balance, (iv) as to Class B-1 Certificates, the Class B-1 Principal Balance
together with any Unpaid Class B-1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class B-1

Remittance Rate on the Class B-1 Principal Balance, (v) as to Class B-2
Certificates, the Class B-2 Principal Balance together with any Unpaid Class B-2
Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class B-2 Remittance Rate on
the Class B-2 Principal Balance, (vi) as to Class B-3I Certificates, any Unpaid
Class B-3I Shortfall, and (vii) as to Class C Master Certificates, the amount
which remains on deposit in the Certificate Account (other than amounts retained
to meet claims) after application pursuant to clauses (i)-(vi) above. The
distribution on the Final Remittance Date shall be in lieu of the distribution
otherwise required to be made on such Remittance Date in respect of each Class
of Certificates.

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

     e.   Each Certificateholder hereby irrevocably approves and appoints the
Trustee as its attorney-in-fact for the purposes of adoption of the plan of
complete liquidation.

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 each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 51% or more.

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

the Servicer or the Originator in reliance thereon, whether or not notation of
such action is made upon such Security.

places.

     SECTION 12.06. Assignment or Delegation by Originator.
                    --------------------------------------

     Except as specifically authorized hereunder, and except for its obligations
as Servicer which are dealt with under Article V and Article VII, the Originator
may not convey and assign or delegate any of its rights or obligations hereunder
absent the prior written consent of Holders of Certificates of each Class
evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66 2/3% or
more, and any attempt to do so without such consent shall be void. It is
understood

                                     12-4
<PAGE>

that the foregoing does not prohibit the pledge or assignment by the Originator
of any right to payment pursuant to Article VIII.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, any person into which the Originator may be
merged or consolidated, or any corporation resulting from any merger, conversion
or consolidation to which the Originator shall be a party, or any Person
succeeding to the business of the Originator, shall be the successor of the
Originator hereunder, without the execution or filing of any paper or any
further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Originator shall promptly notify Standard &
Poor's, Fitch and Moody's of any such merger to which it is a party.

     SECTION 12.07. Amendment.
                    ---------

     a.   This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Originator, the
Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the Certificateholders,
to correct manifest error, to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any
provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other provisions herein, as
the case may be, to make such changes as are necessary to maintain the status of
each of the Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC as a "real estate mortgage
investment conduit" under the REMIC Provisions of the Code or to otherwise
effectuate the benefits of such status to the Subsidiary REMIC, the Master REMIC
and the Certificateholders, including, without limitation, to implement any
provision permitted by law that would enable a REMIC to avoid the imposition of
any tax, to add or amend any provision as required by Standard & Poor's, Fitch,
Moody's, or any other nationally recognized statistical rating organization in
order to improve or maintain the rating of any Class of Class A Certificates,
Class M Certificates or Class B Certificates, or to make any other provisions
with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement that shall not
be inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that
such action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for the Originator,
adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Certificateholder.

     b.   This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Servicer,
the Originator and the Trustee, with the consent of Holders of Certificates of
each Class affected thereby evidencing, as to each such Class, Percentage
Interests aggregating 51% or more, for the purpose of adding any provisions to
or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Certificateholders; provided,
however, that no such amendment shall (a) reduce in any manner the amount of, or
delay the timing of, collections of payments on the Contracts or distributions
which are required to be made on any Certificate, (b) reduce the aforesaid
percentage required to consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the
holders of all Certificates then outstanding, (c) result in the disqualification
of the either the Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC under the
Code, (d) adversely affect the status of either the Subsidiary REMIC or the
Master REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the Regular Certificates as "regular
interests" in the Master REMIC or (e) cause any tax (other than any tax imposed
on "net income from foreclosure property" under Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code
that would be imposed without regard to such amendment) to be imposed on the
Trust, including, without limitation, any tax imposed on "prohibited
transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after
the startup date" under Section

                                     12-5
<PAGE>

860G(d)(1) of the Code. This Agreement may not be amended without the consent of
all Class C Certificateholders, for the purpose of adding any provisions to or
changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement
which would modify in any manner the rights of the Class C Certificateholders.

     c.   This Agreement shall not be amended under this Section without the
consent of 100% of Certificateholders if such amendment would result in the
disqualification of either Subsidiary REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC under
the Code.

     d.   Concurrently with the solicitation of any consent pursuant to this
Section 12.07, the Trustee shall furnish written notification to Standard &
Poor's, Fitch and Moody's of such solicitation. Promptly after the execution of
any amendment pursuant to this Section 12.07, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to Standard & Poor's, Fitch,
Moody's and each Certificateholder.

     e.   It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under
this Section 12.07 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but
it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

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

     g.   In connection with any amendment pursuant to this Section, the Trustee
shall be entitled to receive an unqualified Opinion of Counsel to the Servicer
to the effect that such amendment is authorized or permitted by the Agreement.

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

     i.   Upon the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this
Section 12.07, this Agreement shall be modified in accordance therewith, and
such amendment or consent shall form a part of this Agreement for all purposes,
and every Certificateholder hereunder shall be bound thereby.

                                                                       ------- -

                 FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ORIGINATOR
                 ---------------------------------------------

     The opinion of Dorsey & Whitney LLP 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 Originator is duly qualified to do business as a
foreign corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
performance of its duties under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement would
require such qualification.

     2.   The Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate action, duly executed and delivered by the Originator, and
constitutes the valid and binding obligations of the Originator 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 for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, except such as may be required under blue sky laws
under any jurisdiction in connection with the offering of the Regular
Certificates by the Underwriter pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

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

     5.   Neither the transfer of the Contracts to the Trustee acting on behalf
of the Trust, nor the assignment of the Originator's security interest in the
related Manufactured Homes, nor the issuance or sale of the Certificates, nor
the execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor the
consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Certificates or the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement 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.

     6.   There are no actions or proceedings pending or, to the best of our
knowledge, actions, proceedings or investigations pending or overtly threatened
against the Originator before any court,

                                      F-1
<PAGE>

administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, the hazard or flood insurance
policies applicable to any Contracts or the Errors and Omissions Protection
Policy, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, (C) which is likely materially and adversely to affect the
performance by the Originator of its obligations under, or the validity or
enforceability of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, or (D)
seeking adversely to affect the federal income tax attributes of the
Certificates described in the Prospectus under the heading " Federal Income Tax
Consequences."

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

     8.   Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Seller has
transferred to the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust all of the Originator's
right, title and interest in the Initial and Additional Contracts, free and
clear of any and all other assignments, encumbrances, options, rights, claims,
liens or security interests (except tax or possessory liens) that may affect the
right of the Trustee in and to such Contracts, and has delivered the Land-and-
Home Contract Files relating to the Initial and Additional Contracts to the
Trustee or its custodian.  No filing or other action, other than the filing of a
financing statement on Form UCC-1 with the Secretary of State of the State of
Minnesota identifying the Contracts as collateral and naming the Originator as
debtor and the Trust as secured party, and the filing of continuation statements
as required by Section 4.02 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is necessary
to perfect as against third parties the assignment of the Initial and Additional
Contracts by the Originator to the Trust.  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
characterized as a pledge securing a loan from the Certificateholders to the
Originator, it is our opinion that the Trustee would be deemed to have a valid
and perfected security interest in the Initial and Additional Contracts and the
proceeds thereof, which security interest would be prior to any other security
interest that may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in
the State of Minnesota and over any "lien creditor" (as defined in Minn. Stat.
(S)336.9-301(3)) who becomes such after the Closing Date, except that a
subsequent purchaser of any Initial and Additional Contract who gives new value
and takes possession thereof in the ordinary course of his business would have
priority over the Trustee's security interest in such Contract, if such
purchaser acts without knowledge that such Contract was subject to a security
interest.  We have assumed for the purposes of this opinion that during the term
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Trustee, or its custodian, shall
maintain possession of the Land-and-Home Contract Files for the purpose of
perfecting the assignment to the Trustee of the Land-and-Home Contracts.

     9.   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 of a proper election, as of the date hereof each of the
Subsidiary REMIC and the Master REMIC created pursuant to the Pooling and

                                      F-2
<PAGE>

Servicing Agreement will qualify as a REMIC.  Further, the Regular Certificates
will evidence ownership of the "regular interests" and the Class C Certificate
will evidence ownership of the single class of "residual interest" in the Master
REMIC.  For Minnesota income tax purposes, and subject to the foregoing
assumptions, and the provisions of Minnesota law as of the date hereof, such
Trust will not be subject to tax and the income of such Trust will be taxable to
the holders of interests therein, all in accordance with the provisions of the
Code concerning REMICs as amended through December 31, 1999.  Moreover,
ownership of a Certificate will not be a factor in determining whether such
owner is subject to Minnesota income taxes.  Therefore, if the owner of a
Certificate 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 a Certificate.

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

by the Conseco Finance, (e) an assignment of the related Mortgage to the Trustee

Files for compliance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

     The Trustee further acknowledges that the Trustee, directly or through a
custodian, will hold said rights, interests and proceeds in trust for the use
and benefit of all Certificateholders.

     RE:  Manufactured Housing Contract Senior/Subordinate Pass-Through
          Certificates, Series 2000-4, Class [B-2/B-3I/C Subsidiary/C Master]

     [The undersigned purchaser (the "Purchaser") understands that the purchase
of the above-referenced certificates (the "Certificates") may be made only by
institutions which are "Accredited Investors" under Regulation D, as promulgated
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"), which includes
banks, savings and loan associations, registered brokers and dealers, insurance
companies, investment companies, and organizations described in Section
501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, corporations, business trusts and
partnerships, not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Certificates
offered, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000.  The undersigned represents
on behalf of the Purchaser that the Purchaser is an "Accredited Investor" within
the meaning of such definition.  The Purchaser is urged to review carefully the
responses, representations and warranties it is making herein.]

Representations and Warranties
------------------------------

     The Purchaser makes the following representations and warranties in order
to permit the Trustee, Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp., and [underwriter
of the Class B-2/B-3I/Class C Subsidiary/Class C Master Certificates] to
determine its suitability as a purchaser of Certificates and to determine that
the exemption from registration relied upon by Conseco Finance Securitizations
Corp. under Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act is available to it.

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

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

                                      M-1
<PAGE>

     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 Certificates and is
able to bear the economic risk of such investment.  The Purchaser has reviewed
the Prospectus dated August 8, 2000 and related Prospectus Supplement dated
August 8, 2000, with respect to the Certificates, and has been given such
information concerning the Certificates, the underlying installment sale
contracts and Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp. as it has requested.]

     4.   The Purchaser is acquiring the Certificates as principal for its own
account (or for the account of one or more other institutional investors for
which it is acting as duly authorized fiduciary or agent) for the purpose of
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 does not qualify as (i) an employee benefit plan (a
"Plan") as defined in section 3(3) of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), whether or not it is subject to the
provisions of Title I of ERISA, (ii) a plan described in section 4975(e)(1) of
the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (also a "Plan"), or (iii) an entity whose
underlying assets are deemed to be assets of a Plan by reason of such Plan's
investment in the entity (as determined under Department of Labor Regulations,
29 C.F.R. (S)2510.3-101 (1990)).

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

     7.   The Purchaser, as holder of the Class [B-2/B-3I/C Subsidiary/C Master]
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 [B-2/B-3I/C Subsidiary/C Master] Certificate as they
become due.

     8.   The Purchaser agrees that it will obtain from any purchaser of the
Certificates 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 agreements of the undersigned are made jointly and severally.

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

          (a) Conseco Finance will defend and indemnify CFSC 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 any breach of any of Conseco Finance's representations and
warranties contained herein or in any Subsequent Purchase Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of Conseco
Finance under this Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant
to Article VII of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except that the
obligation of Conseco Finance under this Section shall not relate to the actions
of any subsequent Servicer after a Service Transfer.

                                      -9-
<PAGE>

          (b) No obligation or liability to any Obligor under any of the
Contracts is intended to be assumed by CFSC 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, CFSC expressly disclaims
such assumption.

          (c) Conseco Finance agrees to pay, and to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless CFSC from any taxes which may at any time be asserted with respect to,
and as of the date of, the transfer of the Contracts to CFSC including, without

whether arising by reason of the acts to be performed by Conseco Finance under
this Agreement or imposed against CFSC.

                                  REPURCHASES

          SECTION 5.1.  Repurchase of Contracts Upon Breach of Warranty.
                        -----------------------------------------------

          (a) Upon the occurrence of a Repurchase Event, Conseco Finance shall,
unless such breach shall have been cured in all material respects, repurchase
such Contract from the Trust pursuant to Section 3.05 of the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, subject to the limitation of Section 3.06 of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that the obligation of
Conseco Finance to repurchase any Contract as to which a breach has occurred and
is continuing shall, if such obligation is fulfilled, constitute the sole remedy
against Conseco Finance for such breach available to CFSC, the
Certificateholders or the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders.  The
provisions of this Section 5.1 are intended to grant the Trustee a direct right
against Conseco Finance to demand performance hereunder, and in connection
therewith, Conseco Finance waives any requirement of prior demand against CFSC
with respect to such repurchase obligation.  Any such purchase shall take place
in the manner specified in Section 3.06 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any Subsequent Purchase
Agreement or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or any Subsequent Transfer
Agreement to the contrary, the obligation of Conseco Finance under this Section
shall not terminate upon a termination of Conseco Finance as Servicer under the
Pooling and Servicing Agreement and shall be performed in accordance with the
terms hereof notwithstanding the failure of the Servicer or CFSC to perform any
of their respective obligations with respect to such Contract under the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

                                      -10-
<PAGE>

          (b) In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding whether the
related Contract shall have been purchased by Conseco Finance, Conseco Finance
shall indemnify the Trustee, the Trust and the Certificateholders against all
costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including reasonable
fees and expenses of counsel, which may be asserted against or incurred by any
of them as a result of third party claims arising out of the events or facts
giving rise to such Repurchase Events.

          SECTION 5.2.  Reassignment of Purchased Contracts.  Upon deposit of
                        -----------------------------------
the purchase amount of any Contract repurchased or replaced by Conseco Finance
under Section 5.1, CFSC shall cause the Trustee to take such steps as may be
reasonably requested by Conseco Finance in order to assign to Conseco Finance
all of CFSC's and the Trust's right, title and interest in and to such Contract
and all security and documents and all Collateral Security conveyed to CFSC and
the Trust directly relating thereto, without recourse, representation or
warranty, except as to the absence of liens, charges or encumbrances created by
or arising as a result of actions of CFSC or the Trustee.  Such assignment shall
be a sale and assignment outright, and not for security.  If, following the
reassignment of a Contract, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding, it is
held that Conseco Finance may not enforce any such Contract on the ground that
it shall not be a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the
Contract, CFSC and the Trustee shall, at the expense of Conseco Finance, take
such steps as Conseco Finance deems reasonably necessary to enforce the
Contract, including bringing suit in CFSC's or the Trustee's name.

          SECTION 5.3.  Waivers.  No failure or delay on the part of CFSC, or
                        -------
the Trustee as assignee of CFSC, in exercising any power, right or remedy under
this Agreement or under any Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall operate as a
waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power,
right or remedy preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other power, right or remedy.

                        ----------------------------
liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations in this
Agreement or in any Subsequent Transfer Agreement specifically undertaken by
Conseco Finance and the representations and warranties of Conseco Finance.

shall execute an agreement of assumption to perform every obligation of Conseco
Finance or CFSC, as the case may be, under this Agreement and each Subsequent
Transfer Agreement and, whether or not such assumption agreement is executed,
shall be the successor to Conseco Finance or CFSC, as

(without relieving Conseco Finance or CFSC of its responsibilities hereunder, if

document or any further act by any of the parties to this Agreement or each
Subsequent Transfer Agreement. Conseco Finance or CFSC shall promptly inform the
other party, the Trustee of such merger, consolidation or purchase and
assumption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as a condition to the consummation of
the transactions referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) above, (x)
immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no representation or
warranty made pursuant to Sections 3.1 and 3.2 and this Agreement, or similar

been breached (for purposes hereof, such representations and warranties shall
speak as of the date of the consummation of such transaction), (y) Conseco
Finance or CFSC, as applicable, shall have delivered written notice of such

this Agreement, or in each Subsequent Transfer Agreement, relating to such
transaction have been complied with, and (z) Conseco Finance or CFSC, as

          (a) This Agreement and any Subsequent Transfer Agreement may be
amended by Conseco Finance and CFSC and without the consent of the Trustee or
any of the Certificateholders (A) to cure any ambiguity or (B) to correct any

Certificateholders.

          (e) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders
pursuant to this Section to approve the particular form of any proposed
amendment or consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve
the substance thereof.  The manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing
the authorization of the execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be

prescribe, including the establishment of record dates.  The consent of any

                        ------------------------
this Agreement and of each Subsequent Transfer Agreement shall constitute an
acknowledgment by Conseco Finance and CFSC that they intend that each assignment

law, or the occurrence of another similar event, of, or with respect to, Conseco
Finance.  In the event that such conveyance is determined to be made as security
