         SECTION 2.03. Conveyance of the Subsequent Loans.

         a. Subject to the conditions set forth in paragraph (b) below, in
consideration of the Trustee's delivery on the related Subsequent Transfer Dates
to or upon the order of the Seller of all or a portion of the balance of funds
in the Pre-Funding Account, the Seller shall on any Subsequent Transfer Date
sell, transfer, assign, set over and convey to the Trust by execution and
delivery of a Subsequent Transfer Instrument, all the right, title and interest
of the Seller in and to the Subsequent Loans identified on the List of Loans
attached to the Subsequent Transfer Instrument, including all rights to receive
payments on or with respect to the Subsequent Loans due after the related
Subsequent Cut-off Date, and all items with respect to such Subsequent Loans in
the related Loan Files. The transfer to the Trustee by the Seller of the
Subsequent Loans shall be absolute and is intended by the Seller, the Trustee,
the Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder to constitute and to be
treated as a sale of the Subsequent Loans by the Seller or the Originator to the
Trust. Such transfer and assignment is intended by the Seller to be a sale of
such assets for all purposes, including, without limitation, the Federal
Bankruptcy Code, to the end that all such assets will hereafter cease to be the
property of the Seller and would not be includable in the estate of the Seller
for purposes of Section 541 of the Federal Bankruptcy Code.

         The purchase price paid by the Trustee shall be one hundred percent
(100%) of the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal Balances of such Subsequent
Loans. The purchase price of Subsequent Loans shall be paid solely with amounts
in the Pre-Funding Account. This Agreement shall constitute a fixed price
contract in accordance with Section 860G(a)(3)(A)(ii) of the Code.

         b. The Seller shall transfer to the Trustee the Subsequent Loans, and
the Trustee shall release funds from the Pre-Funding Account only upon the
satisfaction of each of the following conditions on or prior to the related
Subsequent Transfer Date:

                                       2-3

         requested by the Trustee with respect to the Subsequent Loans;

                  (ii) the Seller shall have delivered the related Loan File for
         each Subsequent Loan to the Trustee at least two Business Days prior to

                  (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee a duly

                  (iv) as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, as evidenced by
         delivery of the Subsequent Transfer Instrument, the Seller shall not be
         insolvent nor shall it have been made insolvent by such transfer nor
         shall it be aware of any pending insolvency;

                  (v) such sale and transfer shall not result in a material
         adverse tax consequence to the Trust (including the REMIC) or the
         Certificateholders or Class C Certificateholder;

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

                  (vii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Officer's Certificate, substantially in the form attached hereto as
         Exhibit P, confirming the satisfaction of each condition precedent and
         the representations specified in this Section 2.03 and in Sections
         3.01, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 and 3.05;

                  (viii) the Seller and the Originator shall have delivered to
         the Trustee Opinions of Counsel addressed to S&P, Moody's, Duff &
         Phelps and the Trustee with respect to the transfer of the Subsequent
         Loans substantially in the form of the Opinions of Counsel delivered to
         the Trustee on the Closing Date regarding certain bankruptcy, corporate
         and tax matters;

                  (ix) no Subsequent Loan will have a Combined LTV greater than
         100%; and

                  (x) the Seller shall have delivered assignments in recordable
         form to the Trustee of the mortgages, deeds of trust and security deeds
         relating to the Subsequent Loans.

         c. On or before the last day of the Pre-Funding Period, the Seller
shall deliver to the Trustee:

                  (i) A letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP or another
         nationally recognized accounting firm retained by the Seller (with
         copies provided to S&P, Moody's, Duff & Phelps, the Underwriters and
         the Trustee) that is in form, substance and methodology the same as
         that dated March 27, 2000 and delivered under Section 2.02(d) of this
         Agreement, except that it shall address the Subsequent Loans and their
         conformity

                                       2-4
<PAGE>

         in all material respects to the characteristics described in Sections
         2.03 (b)(ix) and 3.04(b) of this Agreement.

                  (ii) Evidence that, as a result of the purchase by the Trust
         of the Subsequent Loans, none of the ratings assigned to the Class AF
         Certificates as of the Closing Date by S&P, Moody's or Duff & Phelps
         will be reduced, withdrawn or qualified.

                  (iii) Evidence that the aggregate Cut-off Date Principal
         Balances of the Subsequent Loans, not specifically identified as
         Subsequent Loans as of the Closing Date, do not exceed 25% of the
         Original Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance.

         SECTION 2.04. Acceptance by Trustee.

         a. On the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer Date, if the
conditions set forth in Section 2.02 and 2.03, respectively, have been
satisfied, the Trustee shall deliver a certificate to the Seller substantially
in the form of Exhibit G hereto (an "Acknowledgment") acknowledging conveyance
of the Loans identified on the applicable List of Loans and the related Loan
Files to the Trustee and declaring that the Trustee, directly or through a
Custodian, will hold all Loans that have been delivered in trust, upon the
trusts herein set forth, for the use and benefit of all Certificateholders and
the Class C Certificateholder.

         b. The Trustee or a Custodian shall review each Loan File, as described
in Exhibit G, within 60 days of the Closing Date or later receipt by it of the
Loan File. If, in its review of the Loan Files as described in Exhibit G, the
Trustee or a Custodian discovers a breach of the representations or warranties
set forth in Sections 2.03, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 of this Agreement, or in
the Officer's Certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.02(j) or 2.03(b)(vii)
of this Agreement, the Trustee or Custodian, as the case may be, shall notify
the Seller and the Originator shall cure such breach or repurchase or replace
such Loan pursuant to Section 3.06.

         SECTION 2.05. REMIC Provisions.

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

Sections 3.06, 3.07 and 8.06, (iii) engage in any transaction that would result
in the imposition of tax on "prohibited transactions," as defined in Section
860F(a)(1) of the Code, (iv) accept any contribution after the Closing Date that
is subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code or (v) engage in
any activity or enter into any agreement that would result in the receipt by the
Trust of any "net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section
860G(c)(2) of the Code, unless, prior to any such action set forth in clauses
(i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v), the Trustee shall have received an unqualified
Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust, stating
that such action will not, directly or indirectly, (A) adversely affect the
status of the Trust as a REMIC or the status of the Certificates and Class C
Certificate as "regular interests" and the sole class of "residual interests,"
respectively, therein, in each case for federal income tax purposes, (B) affect
the distributions payable hereunder to the Certificateholders or the Class C
Certificateholder or (C) result in the imposition of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon the Trust.

         e. Upon the acquisition of any real property (including interests in
real property), or any personal property incident thereto, in connection with
the default of a Loan, the Servicer and the Trustee (at the direction of the
Servicer) shall take, or cause to be taken, such action as is necessary to sell
or otherwise dispose of such property within such period as is then required by
the Code in order for such property to qualify as "foreclosure property" within
the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Servicer and the
Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the
Trust of such property subsequent to the period then

                                       2-6
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 2.06. Seller Option to Substitute for Prepaid Loans. The Seller
may, at its option, substitute new loans for Loans as to which a Principal
Prepayment in Full has been received by the Servicer prior to June 27, 2000
("Prepaid Loans"), up to a maximum of 5% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal
Balance, upon satisfaction of the following conditions:

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

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

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

                  (iv) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         executed assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust in recordable
         form for the mortgage securing such Loan to be substituted;

                  (v) such substitution shall be accomplished prior to the
         Determination Date immediately following the calendar month in which
         the Principal Prepayment in Full was received by the Servicer, and no
         such substitution shall take place after June 27, 2000.

                  (vi) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
         of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Loan for
         such Prepaid Loan will not cause the 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

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

                                       2-7
<PAGE>

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

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

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

         The Seller and the Originator make the following representations and
warranties. The Trustee will rely on the representations and warranties in
accepting the Loans in trust and issuing the Certificates and the Class C
Certificate on behalf of the Trust. The repurchase or substitution and
indemnification obligations of the Originator set forth in Section 3.06
constitute the sole remedies available to the Trust, the Certificateholders or
the Class C Certificateholder for a breach of a representation or warranty of
the Originator set forth in Sections 2.03, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05 of this
Agreement, or in the Officer's Certificates delivered pursuant to Sections
2.02(j) or 2.03(b)(vii) of this Agreement.

         SECTION 3.01. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Seller. The
Seller represents and warrants to the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder, effective on the Closing Date and each Subsequent Transfer
Date, that:

                  a. Organization and Good Standing. The Seller is a corporation
         duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
         the jurisdiction of its organization and has the corporate power to own
         its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently
         engaged. The Seller is duly qualified to do business as a foreign
         corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
         character of the business transacted by it or properties owned or
         leased by it requires such qualification and in which the failure so to
         qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business,
         properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) of the Seller.

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

                  c. No Consent Required. The Seller is not required to obtain
         the consent of any other party or any consent, license, approval or
         authorization from, or registration or declaration with, any
         governmental authority, bureau or agency in connection with the
         execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this
         Agreement.

                  d. No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of
         this Agreement by the Seller will not violate any provision of any
         existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court or the
         Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the

                                       3-1
<PAGE>

         Seller, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture,
         contract or other agreement to which the Seller is a party or by which
         the Seller may be bound.

                  e. Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of
         or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently
         pending, or to the knowledge of the Seller threatened, against the
         Seller or any of its properties or with respect to this Agreement, the
         Certificates or the Class C Certificate which, if adversely determined,
         would in the opinion of the Seller have a material adverse effect on
         the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                  f. Licensing. The Seller is duly licensed in each state in
         which Loans were originated to the extent the Seller is required to be
         licensed by applicable law in connection with the origination and
         servicing of the Loans.

         SECTION 3.02. Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Loan. 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 and the Class
C Certificateholder, as of the Closing Date with respect to each Loan identified
on the List of Loans attached to this Agreement as Exhibit L and as of each
Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to each Subsequent Loan identified on the
List of Loans attached to the related Subsequent Transfer Instrument:

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

                  b. Payments. No scheduled payment due under the Loan was
         delinquent over 31 days as of the Cut-off Date if an Initial Loan or 30
         days as of the related Cut-off Date or Subsequent Cut-off Date, if an
         Additional Loan or a Subsequent Loan.

                  c. Costs Paid and No Waivers. The terms of the Loan have not
         been waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by instruments
         or documents identified in the Loan File. All costs, fees and expenses
         incurred in making, closing and perfecting the lien of the Loan have
         been paid. The subject real property has not been released from the
         lien of such Loan.

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

                  e. No Defenses. The Loan 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 Loan or the
         exercise of any right thereunder will not render the Loan 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

                  f. Insurance Coverage. The Originator has been named as an
         additional insured party under any hazard insurance on the property
         described in the Loan, to the extent required by the Originator's
         underwriting guidelines. If upon origination of the Loan, the property
         securing the Loan was in an area identified in the Federal Register by
         the Federal Emergency Management Agency as having special flood hazards
         (and if flood insurance was required by federal regulation and such
         flood insurance has been made available in the locale where the
         property is located), the property is covered by a flood insurance
         policy of the nature and in an amount which is consistent with the
         servicing standard set forth in Section 5.02.

                  g. Combined LTV. The Combined LTV (calculated using the
         Collateral Principal Balance, if applicable) for each Initial Loan is
         not greater than 100%. The Combined LTV for each Additional Loan and
         each Subsequent Loan is not greater than 100%.

                  h. Lawful Assignment. The Loan was not originated in and is
         not subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the
         transfer of the Loan under this Agreement or pursuant to transfers of
         the Certificates or Class C Certificate unlawful or render the Loan
         unenforceable. The Originator has duly executed a valid blanket
         assignment of the Loans transferred to the Seller, and has transferred
         all its right, title and interest in such Loans, including all rights
         the Originator may have against the originating lender with respect to
         Loans originated by a lender other than the Originator, to the Seller.
         The blanket assignment, any and all documents executed and delivered by
         the Originator pursuant to Sections 2.01(b) and 2.03(b), and this
         Agreement each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of
         the Originator enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.

                  i. Compliance with Law. At the date of origination of the
         Loan, all requirements of any federal and state laws, rules and
         regulations applicable to the Loan, including, without limitation,
         usury and truth in lending 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.

                  j. Loan in Force. The Loan has not been satisfied or
         subordinated in whole or in part or rescinded, and the real estate
         securing such Loan has not been released from the lien of such Loan in
         whole or in part.

                  k. Valid Lien. The Loan has been duly executed and delivered
         by the Obligor, and the lien created thereby has been duly recorded, or
         has been delivered to the appropriate governmental authority for
         recording and will be duly recorded within 180 days, and constitutes a
         valid and perfected first, second or third priority lien, as the case
         may be, on the real estate described in such Loan.

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

                                       3-3
<PAGE>

                  m. Good Title. The Originator is the sole owner of the Loan
         and has the authority to sell, transfer and assign such Loan to the
         Seller under the terms of the Transfer Agreement. There has been no
         assignment, sale or hypothecation of the Loan by the Originator except
         the usual past hypothecation of the Loan in connection with the
         Originator's normal banking transactions in the conduct of its
         business, which hypothecation terminates upon sale of the Loan to the
         Seller. The Originator has good and marketable title to the Loan, free
         and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim, lien
         or encumbrance of any type and has full right to transfer the Loan to
         the Seller.

                  n. No Defaults. As of the applicable Cut-off Date, there was
         no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existing
         under the Loan 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 Loan (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.

                  o. Equal Installments. The Loan provides for monthly payments
         (except, in the case of a Balloon Loan, for the final monthly payment
         of such Loan) which fully amortize the Loan over its term.

                  p. Enforceability. Each Loan 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 lien provided thereby.

                  q. One Original. There is only one original executed
         promissory note, which promissory note has been delivered to the
         Trustee or its Custodian on or before the Closing Date or Subsequent
         Transfer Date if a Subsequent Loan.

                  r. Genuine Documents. All documents submitted are genuine, and
         all other representations as to each Loan, including the List of Loans,
         are true and correct. Any copies of documents provided by the
         Originator are accurate and complete (except that, with respect to each
         Loan that was originated by a lender other than the Originator, the
         Originator makes such representation and warranty only to the best of
         the Originator's knowledge).

                  s. Origination. Each Loan was originated by a home equity
         lender in the ordinary course of such lender's business or was
         originated by the Originator directly.

                  t. Underwriting Guidelines. Each Loan was originated or
         purchased in accordance with the Originator's then-current underwriting
         guidelines.

                  u. Good Repair. The property described in the Loan is, to the
         best of the Originator's knowledge, free of damage and in good repair.

                                       3-4
<PAGE>

                  v. Qualified Mortgage. The Loan is a "qualified mortgage"
         within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions. The Originator represents
         and warrants that, either as of (i) the date of origination (within the
         meaning of the REMIC Provisions) or (ii) the Closing Date or, if a
         Subsequent Loan, the Subsequent Transfer Date, the fair market value of
         the interest in real property securing each Loan was not less than 80%
         of the "adjusted issue price" (in each case within the meaning of the
         REMIC Provisions) of such Loan.

                  w. Title Insurance. Each Loan is covered by an American Land
         Title Association lender's title insurance policy.

                  Prepayment Term. No Prepayment Charges are payable under the
         Loan after the 60th month following the origination date of the Loan.

         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 Certificateholder, as of the Closing Date
with respect to each Loan identified on the List of Loans attached to this
Agreement as Exhibit L and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to
each Subsequent Loan identified on the List of Loans attached to the related
Subsequent Transfer Instrument:

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

                  b. Good Title. The Seller is the sole owner of the Loan and
         has the authority to sell, transfer and assign such Loan to the Trust
         under the terms of this Agreement. There has been no assignment, sale
         or hypothecation of the Loan by the Seller. The Seller has good and
         marketable title to the Loan, free and clear of any encumbrance,
         equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim, lien or encumbrance of any type
         and has full right to transfer the Loan to the Trust.

         SECTION 3.04. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loans in the
Aggregate. The Originator has represented and warranted to the Seller in the
Transfer Agreement, which representations and warranties the Seller has assigned
to the Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder, as of the Closing Date with respect to the Initial Loans and
Additional Loans, and as of each Subsequent Transfer Date with respect to the
related Subsequent Loans, that:

                                       3-5
<PAGE>

                  a. Amounts. As of the Closing Date, the sum of the Cut-off
         Date Pool Principal Balance, plus the Original Pre-Funded Amount,
         equals at least the Original Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance.
         By Cut-off Date Principal Balance, the Initial Loans and Additional
         Loans plus the Subsequent Loans specifically identified as of the
         Closing Date represent at least 75% of the Original Aggregate
         Certificate Principal Balance.

                  b. Characteristics. The Loans have the following
         characteristics: (i) 100% are secured by a mortgage, deed of trust or
         security deed creating a first, second or third lien on the related
         real estate; (ii) none has a remaining or original maturity of more
         than 360 months; (iii) no Initial Loan has a final scheduled payment
         date later than January 2030, no Additional Loan has a final scheduled
         payment date later than March 2030 and no such Subsequent Loan has a
         final scheduled payment date later than May 2030; (iv) none had a
         principal balance at origination of more than $360,000; and (v) none of
         the Initial or Additional Loans have a Loan Interest Rate less than
         7.03%.

                  The weighted average (by Scheduled Principal Balance) loan to
         value ratio of the Loans as of the Post-Funding Payment Date will not
         be more than 200 basis points more than such ratio with respect to the
         Initial Loans.

                  The weighted average (by Scheduled Principal Balance) of the
         Loan Interest Rates of the Loans as of the Post-Funding Payment Date
         will not be more than 25 basis points less than the weighted average of
         the Loan Interest Rates of the Initial Loans.

                  The percentage (by Scheduled Principal Balance) of the Loans
         as of the Post-Funding Payment Date which are identified by the
         Originator under its standard underwriting criteria as "B," "C," and
         "D" credits will not be more than 300 basis points, 200 basis points,
         and 100 basis points, respectively, more than the percentage of Initial
         Loans identified as "B," "C," and "D" credits.

                  All Loans. 78.15% (by Scheduled Principal Balance) of the
         Initial Loans are secured by a first priority lien, 21.30% by a second
         priority lien and 0.55% by a third priority lien. As of the
         Post-Funding Payment Date, the percentage of the Loans secured by a
         second priority lien is not more than 23.00% and not more than 0.70%
         are secured by a third priority lien.

                  The percentage (by Scheduled Principal Balance) of the Loans
         as of the Closing Date which are identified by the Originator as debt
         consolidation loans is 25.97%. As of the Subsequent Transfer Date, such
         percentage of debt consolidation loans will not be greater than 27.00%.

                  c. Geographic Concentrations. By Cut-off Date Principal
         Balance, 10.10% of the Initial and Additional Loans are secured by
         property located in California, 5.39% in Florida and 5.52% in Ohio. No
         other state represents more than 5.00% of the aggregate Cut-off Date
         Principal Balances of the Initial and Additional Loans.

                                       3-6
<PAGE>

                  The weighted average (by Scheduled Principal Balance) of the
         debt-to-income ratio of the Loans as of the Post-Funding Payment Date
         will not be more than 44.00%.

                  The percentage (by Scheduled Principal Balance) of the Loans
         as of the Post-Funding Payment Date which are owner-occupied will be at
         least 98.00%.

                  The percentage (by Scheduled Principal Balance) of the Loans
         as of the Post-Funding Payment Date which are single family will be at
         least 95.00%.

                  No more than 1% of the Loans by Cut-off Date Principal Balance
         are secured by property located in an area with the same five-digit zip
         code.

                  d. Marking Records. The Originator has caused the portions of
         the Electronic Ledger relating to the Loans to be clearly and
         unambiguously marked to indicate that such Loans constitute part of the
         Trust and are owned by the Trust in accordance with the terms of the
         Trust created hereunder.

                  e. No Adverse Selection. No adverse selection procedures have
         been employed in selecting the Loans.

                  f. Lender Concentration. No more than 5.0% of the Loans, by
         Cut-off Date Principal Balance, were originated by any one lender
         (other than the Originator).

                  g. Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act. With respect to
         any Loan subject to the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of
         1994, each such Loan has been originated and serviced in compliance
         with the provisions thereof.

         SECTION 3.05. Representations and Warranties Regarding the Loan Files.
The Originator has represented and warranted to the Seller in the Transfer
Agreement, which representations and warranties the Seller has assigned to the
Trustee for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder that:

                  a. Possession. On the Closing Date, the Trustee or a Custodian
         will have possession of each original Initial Loan and Additional Loan
         and the related Loan File. On each Subsequent Transfer Date, the
         Originator will have possession of each original Subsequent Loan being
         transferred to the Trust on that Subsequent Transfer Date and the
         related Loan File. There are and there will be no custodial agreements
         or servicing contracts in effect materially and adversely affecting the
         rights of the Originator to make, or cause to be made, any delivery
         required hereunder or under the Transfer Agreement.

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

                                       3-7
<PAGE>

         SECTION 3.06. Repurchases of Loans for Breach of Representations and
Warranties.

         a. Subject to Section 3.07, the Originator shall repurchase a Loan, at
its Repurchase Price, not later than 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 set forth in Sections
2.03, 3.02, 3.03, 3.04 or 3.05, or in the Officer's Certificates delivered
pursuant to Sections 2.02(j) or 2.03(b)(vii), that materially and adversely
affects the Trust's, the Certificateholders' or the Class C Certificateholder's
interest in such Loan and which breach has not been cured within such time;
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 5 Business Days of the date of such discovery and
(ii) with respect to any Loan incorrectly described on the List of Loans with
respect to Cut-off Date Principal Balance, which the Originator would otherwise
be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section, the Originator may, in lieu
of repurchasing such Loan, deliver to the Seller for deposit in the Certificate
Account within 90 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 and the Class C Certificateholder on
the immediately following Payment Date as a collection of principal or interest
on such Loan, according to the nature of the deficiency or discrepancy.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the
Originator under this Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer
pursuant to Article VII.

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

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

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

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

                  (iv) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         executed assignment to the Seller and to the Trustee on behalf of the
         Trust in recordable form for the mortgage securing such Loan to be
         substituted;

                  (v) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an
         Opinion of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Loan
         for such Replaced Loan will not cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a
         REMIC at any time under then applicable REMIC

                                       3-8
<PAGE>

         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 Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced Loan
         is greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loan to be
         substituted, the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller for
         deposit in the Certificate Account the amount of such excess and shall
         have included in the 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 Loan
to be substituted to, and delete such Replaced Loan from, the List of Loans.
Such substitution shall be effected prior to the first Determination Date that
occurs more than 90 days after the Originator becomes aware, or should have
become aware, or receives written notice from the Trustee, of the breach
referred to in Section 3.06(a). Promptly after any such substitution of a Loan,
the Originator shall give written notice of such substitution to S&P, Moody's
and Duff & Phelps.

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

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

         SECTION 3.07. No Repurchase Under Certain Circumstances.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no repurchase
or substitution pursuant to Section 3.06 shall be made unless the Originator (at
its own expense) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the
Trustee that any such repurchase or substitution would not, under the REMIC
Provisions, (i) cause the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC while any regular
interest in such REMIC is outstanding, (ii) result in a tax on prohibited
transactions within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code or (iii)
constitute a contribution after the startup day subject to tax under Section
860G(d) of the Code. The Originator diligently shall attempt to obtain such
Opinion of Counsel. In the case of a repurchase or deposit pursuant to Section
3.06(a) or (b), the Originator shall, notwithstanding the absence of such
opinion as to the imposition of any tax as the result of such purchase or
deposit, repurchase such Loan or make such deposit and shall guarantee the
payment of such tax by paying to the Trustee the amount of such tax not later
than five Business Days before such tax shall be due and payable to the extent
that amounts

                                       3-9
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 4.01. Transfer of Loans.

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

         b. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Originator does
not have a long-term senior debt rating of A- or higher from S&P, Moody's (if
rated by Moody's) and Duff & Phelps (if rated by Duff & Phelps), (i) the
Originator shall within 30 days execute and deliver to the Trustee (if it has
not previously done so) endorsements of each Loan and assignments in recordable
form of each mortgage, deed of trust or security deed securing a Loan, and (ii)
the Trustee, at the Originator's expense, shall within 60 days file in the
appropriate recording offices the assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the
Trust of each mortgage, deed of trust or security deed securing a Loan;
provided, however, that the recording of such assignments shall not be required
if the Trustee receives written confirmation from S&P, Moody's and Duff & Phelps
that the ratings of the Certificates would not be reduced or withdrawn by the
failure to execute and file such assignments; provided further, however, that
the recording of such assignments shall not be required if the Originator
delivers an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such assignment and
recordation is not necessary to effect the assignment to the Trustee of the
Originator's lien on the real property securing each Loan.

         c. If, as of the Post-Funding Payment Date, the aggregate Scheduled
Principal Balance of Loans secured by real property located in Maryland
("Maryland Loans") exceeds 10% of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance, the
Originator shall, within sixty (60) days, submit to the appropriate recording
offices the assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of the number of
mortgages, deeds of trust or security deeds required to reduce to less than 10%
of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance the aggregate Scheduled Principal
Balance of Maryland Loans as to which such assignments are not recorded.

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

                                    ARTICLE V

                               SERVICING OF LOANS
                               ------------------

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

         SECTION 5.02. Standard of Care. In managing, administering, servicing
and making collections on the Loans pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer
will exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with the highest degree
of skill and care that the Servicer exercises with respect to similar loans
(including manufactured housing contracts) serviced by the Servicer; provided,
however, that such degree of skill and care shall be at least as favorable as
the degree of skill and care generally applied by prudent servicers of home
equity loans for prudent institutional investors.

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

         SECTION 5.04. Inspection.

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

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

                                       5-1
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 5.05. Certificate Account.

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

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

                                       5-2
<PAGE>

The Servicer and the Trustee shall in no way be liable for losses on amounts
invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Certificate
Account not so invested must be insured to the extent permitted by law by the
Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. "Eligible Investments" are any of the
following:

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

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

                  (iii) shares of an investment company registered under the
         Investment Company Act of 1940, whose shares are registered under the
         Securities Act of 1933 and have a rating of AAA by both S&P, Moody's
         and Duff & Phelps, and whose only investments are in securities
         described in clauses (i) and (ii) above;

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

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

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

                  (vii) money market funds rated AAAm or AAAm-G by S & P; and

                                       5-3
<PAGE>

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

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

         The Trustee may trade with itself or an Affiliate in the purchase or
sale of such Eligible Investments. The Servicer acknowledges that to the extent
that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable
regulatory agency grant the Servicer the right to receive brokerage
confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Servicer specifically
waives receipt of such confirmations.

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

         SECTION 5.06. Enforcement.

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

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

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

                                       5-4
<PAGE>

at the Servicer's expense, take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to
enforce the Loan, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the
Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder.

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

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

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

         SECTION 5.07. Trustee to Cooperate.

         a. Upon payment in full on any Loan, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee and Conseco Finance Corp. (if Conseco Finance Corp. is not the Servicer)
on the next succeeding Payment Date by certification of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in
the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so deposited) and
shall request delivery of the Loan and Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt
of such delivery and request, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be
released such Loan and Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt of such Loan and
Loan File, each of Conseco Finance Corp. (if different from the Servicer) and
the Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction of such Loan
and to do such other acts and execute such other documents as the Servicer deems
necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and eliminate any lien on the
related real estate. The Servicer shall determine when a Loan has been paid in
full; provided that, to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a
Loan credited by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the
shortfall shall be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds, without any right
of reimbursement therefor (except from additional amounts recovered from the
related Obligor or otherwise in respect of such Loan), and deposited in the
Certificate Account.

         b. From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosing in
connection with a Loan, the Trustee shall, upon written request of a Servicing
Officer and delivery to the Trustee

                                       5-5
<PAGE>

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

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

         SECTION 5.08. Costs and Expenses. Except as provided in Section 8.04(b)
for the reimbursement of Advances, all costs and expenses incurred by the
Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder (including payment of the
Trustee's fees pursuant to Section 11.06, fees and expenses of accountants and
payments of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of
Loans (including enforcement of Loans and foreclosures upon real estate securing
any such Loans) and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder
to be for the account of the Trust) 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
Loan for customary out-of-pocket Liquidation Expenses incurred by it. The
Servicer shall not incur such Liquidation Expenses unless it determines in its
good faith business judgment that incurring such expenses will increase the Net
Liquidation Proceeds on the related Loan.

         SECTION 5.09. Maintenance of Insurance. The Servicer shall at all times
keep in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions
for failure to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement, and a fidelity
bond. Such policy or policies and such fidelity bond shall be in such form and
amount as is generally customary among persons who service a portfolio of home
equity loans having an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or more, and
which are generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional investors.
The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to the real property
securing a Loan hazard insurance (excluding flood insurance coverage) if such
Loan is secured by a first priority mortgage, deed of trust or security deed or
the initial principal balance of such Loan exceeds $30,000.

         SECTION 5.10. Merger or Consolidation of Servicer. Any Person into
which the Servicer 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 Servicer shall be a party shall be the successor of
the Servicer hereunder, provided such Person shall be an Eligible Servicer,
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
Servicer shall promptly notify each of the Rating Agencies in the event it is a
party to any merger, conversion or consolidation.

                             REPORTS AND TAX MATTERS
                             -----------------------

         SECTION 6.01. Monthly Reports. No later than one Business Day following
each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the
Rating Agencies a Monthly Report, substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto.

         SECTION 6.02. Officer's Certificate. Each Monthly Report pursuant to
Section 6.01 shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer
substantially in the form of Exhibit H, certifying the accuracy of the Monthly
Report and that no Event of Termination or event that with notice or lapse of
time or both would become an Event of Termination has occurred, or if such event
has occurred and is continuing, specifying the event and its status.

         SECTION 6.03. Other Data. In addition, the Originator and (if different
from the Originator) the Servicer shall, on request of the Trustee or any of the
Rating Agencies, furnish the Trustee and/or any such Rating Agencies such
underlying data as may be reasonably requested.

         SECTION 6.04. Annual Report of Accountants. On or before May 1 of each
year, commencing May 1, 2001, the Servicer at its expense shall cause a firm of
independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants to issue to the Servicer a report that such firm
has examined selected documents, records and management's assertions relating to
loans serviced by the Servicer and stating that, on the basis of such
examination, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with the minimum
servicing standards identified in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's
Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, or any successor
uniform program, except for such significant exceptions or errors in records
that, in the opinion of such firm, generally accepted attestation standards
requires it to report.

         SECTION 6.05. Statements to Certificateholders and the Class C
Certificateholder.

         a. The Servicer shall prepare and furnish to the Trustee the statements
specified below relating to the Class AF Certificates, the Class MF
Certificates, the Class BF Certificates and the Class P Certificates on or
before the third Business Day next preceding each Payment Date.

         b. Concurrently with each distribution to Certificateholders, the
Trustee shall, so long as it has received the Monthly Report from the Servicer,
forward or cause to be forwarded by mail to each Holder of a Class AF
Certificate and (if the Originator is not the Servicer) the Originator a
statement setting forth the following:

                  (i) the amount of such distribution to Holders of each Class
         of Class AF Certificates allocable to interest, separately identifying

                  (ii) the amount of such distribution to Holders of each Class

                  (iv) the Principal Balance of the Class AF Certificate after

         SECTION 6.06. Payment of Taxes. The Servicer shall be responsible for
and agrees to prepare, make and timely file all federal, state, local or other
tax returns, information statements and other returns and documents of every
kind and nature whatsoever required to be made or filed by or on behalf of the
Trust pursuant to the Code and other applicable tax laws and regulations. Each
such return, statement and document shall, to the extent required by the Code or
other applicable law and at the request of the Servicer, be signed on behalf of
the Trust by the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever
for the accuracy or completeness of any such return, statement or document. The
Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless for, from, against
and in respect to any and all liability, loss, damage and expense which may be
incurred by the Trustee based upon or as a result of the Trustee's execution of
any and all such tax returns, statements and documents. The Servicer, if and for
so long as it is a Class C Certificateholder, shall be designated the "tax
matters person" on behalf of the Trust in the same manner as a partnership may
designate a "tax matters partner," as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7)
of the Code. To the extent permitted by the REMIC Provisions, any subsequent
holder of the 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 Trust if, and during such time as, the
Servicer is not the holder of the 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. The Servicer shall provide to the
Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the
person who will serve as the representative of the REMIC.

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

         The Class C Certificateholder shall pay, on behalf of the Trust, any
foreign, federal, state or local income, property, excise, sales, receipts or
any other similar or related taxes or charges which may be imposed upon the
Trust 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

                                       6-7
<PAGE>

provisions of Section 2.04 or 3.07, or a failure by any Servicer to comply with
the provisions of this Section 6.06, the Trustee, the Originator or such
Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Class C Certificateholder for
the payment of any such tax or charge. The Trustee shall be entitled to withhold
from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class C Certificateholder any taxes
or charges payable by the Class C Certificateholder hereunder.

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

                  b. Failure on the Servicer's part to observe or perform in any
         material respect any covenant or agreement in this Agreement (other

         specifically dealt with) which continues unremedied for 30 days;

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

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

                  e. The Servicer shall have commenced a voluntary case under
         any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or
         hereafter in effect, or shall have consented to the entry of an order
         for relief in an involuntary case under any such law, or shall have
         consented to the appointment of or taking possession by a receiver,
         liquidator, assignee, trustee, custodian or sequestrator (or other
         similar official) of the Servicer or for any substantial part of its
         property, or shall have made any general assignment for the benefit of
         its creditors, or shall have failed to, or admitted in writing its
         inability to, pay its debts as they become due, or shall have taken any
         corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;

                  f. The failure of the Servicer to be an Eligible Servicer; or

                  g. If Conseco Finance Corp. is the Servicer, Conseco Finance
         Corp.'s servicing rights under its master seller-servicer agreement
         with GNMA are terminated by GNMA.

         SECTION 7.02. Transfer. If an Event of Termination has occurred and is
continuing, either the Trustee or Certificateholders, in the aggregate,
representing 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, by
notice in writing to the Servicer (and to the Trustee if given by the
Certificateholders) may terminate all (but not less than all) of the Servicer's

                                       7-1
<PAGE>

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), all authority and power of the Servicer
under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or
otherwise (except with respect to the Certificate Account, the transfer of which
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, and
to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes
of such notice of termination. The Trustee shall cause all assignments of
mortgages, deeds of trust or security deeds securing the Loans to be duly
recorded. 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 Loans. The Servicer shall
transfer to the new servicer (i) the Servicer's records relating to the Loans in
such electronic form as the new servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any
Loan 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,
the Trustee shall be the successor in all respects to the Servicer in its
capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or
provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof, and the Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and
liabilities arising after such Service Transfer; provided, however, that (i) the
Trustee will not assume any obligations of the Originator pursuant to Section
3.06, and (ii) the Trustee shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of the
Servicer occurring prior to such Service Transfer or for any breach by the
Servicer of any of its obligations contained herein or in any related document
or agreement. As compensation therefor, the Trustee shall be entitled to receive
reasonable compensation out of the Monthly Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the
above, the Trustee may, if it shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it is
legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction
to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in
the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities
of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer
hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee
shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor
shall agree; provided, however, that no such monthly compensation shall, without
the written consent of 100% of the Certificateholders, exceed the Monthly
Servicing Fee. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent
with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession.

Loans 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 Loans 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 Loans.

         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

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

         SECTION 8.01. Monthly Payments.

         a. Subject to the terms of this Article VIII, each Holder of a
Certificate or Class C Certificate as of a Record Date shall be paid on the next
succeeding Payment Date by check mailed to such Certificateholder or Class C
Certificateholder at the address for such Certificateholder or Class C
Certificateholder appearing on the Certificate Register (or, if such
Certificateholder holds Certificates of a Class with an aggregate Percentage
Interest of at least 5% of such Class and so requests, by wire transfer pursuant
to instructions delivered to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to such Payment
Date), the sum equal to such Certificateholder's or Class C Certificateholder's
Percentage Interest of the Class AF-1 Distribution Amount, Class AF-2
Distribution Amount, Class AF-3 Distribution Amount, Class AF-4 Distribution
Amount, Class AF-5 Distribution Amount, Class AF-6 Distribution Amount, the
Class MF-1 Distribution Amount, the Class MF-2 Distribution Amount, the Class
BF-1 Distribution Amount, the Class BF-2 Distribution Amount, any Class BF-2
Guaranty Payment, the Class P Distribution Amount and the Class C Distribution
Amount, as applicable. Final payment of any Certificate or the Class C
Certificate shall be made only upon presentation and surrender of such
Certificate or Class C Certificate at the office or agency of the Paying Agent.

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

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

         a. Not later than one Business Day following the Determination Date,
the Servicer shall advance all Delinquent Payments for the immediately preceding
Due Period by depositing the aggregate amount of such Delinquent Payments in the
Certificate Account; provided, however, that the Servicer shall be obligated to
advance Delinquent Payments only to the extent that the Servicer, in its sole
discretion, expects to be able to recover such Advances from funds subsequently
available therefor in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section
8.04(b). If the Servicer fails to advance all Delinquent Payments required under
this Section 8.02, the Trustee shall be obligated to advance such Delinquent
Payments pursuant to Section 11.15.

         b. The Servicer shall be entitled to reimbursement of an Advance from
subsequent funds available therefor in the Certificate Account in accordance
with Section 8.04(b).

         a. No later than the Determination Date, the Servicer (if other than
the Guarantor) shall notify the Guarantor of the amount of the Class BF-2
Guaranty Payment (if any) for the related Payment Date. Not later than the
Business Day preceding each Payment Date, the Guarantor shall deposit the Class
BF-2 Guaranty Payment, if any, for such Payment Date into the Certificate
Account. Any Class BF-2 Guaranty Payment shall be distributable to Class BF-2
Certificateholders pursuant to Section 8.01.

         b. The obligations of the Guarantor under this Section 8.03 shall not
terminate upon or otherwise be affected by a Service Transfer pursuant to
Article VII of this Agreement.

         c. The obligation of the Guarantor to provide the Class BF-2 Limited
Guaranty under this Agreement shall terminate on the Final Payment Date.

         d. The obligation of the Guarantor to make the Class BF-2 Guaranty
Payments described in subsection (a) above shall be unconditional and
irrevocable. The Guarantor acknowledges that its obligation to make the Class
BF-2 Guaranty Payments described in subsection (a) above shall be deemed a
guaranty by the Guarantor of indebtedness of the Trust for money borrowed from
the Class BF-2 Certificateholders.

         e. If the Guarantor fails to make a Class BF-2 Guaranty Payment in
whole or in part, the Guarantor shall promptly notify the Trustee, and the
Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies.

         f. In consideration of providing the Class BF-2 Limited Guaranty, the
Guarantor shall be entitled to the Class BF-2 Guaranty Fee payable in accordance
with Section 8.04(b)(20).

         SECTION 8.04. Permitted Withdrawals from the Certificate Account;
Payments.

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

                  (i) to make payments in the amounts and in the manner provided
         for in Section 8.04(b);

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

                  (iii) to reimburse the Servicer out of Liquidation Proceeds
         for Liquidation Expenses incurred by it and not otherwise reimbursed,

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

Substitute Loan under Section 3.06(b) and receipt by the Trust, by deposit in
the Certificate Account, of any additional amount under Section 3.06(b)(vi), and
upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form attached hereto

Originator all of the Certificateholders' right, title and interest in the
repurchased Loan or Replaced Loan without recourse, representation or warranty,
except as to the absence of liens, charges or encumbrances created by or arising

or receipt of such Eligible Substitute Loan and related deposit of any
additional amount under Section 3.06(b)(vi), the Servicer shall be deemed to
have released any claims to such Loan as a result of Advances with respect to

         SECTION 8.06. Class C Certificateholder's Purchase Option or Auction
Sale; Additional Principal Distribution Amount.

         a. The Class C Certificateholder shall, subject to subsection (b)
hereof, have the option to purchase all of the Loans and all property acquired
in respect of any Loan remaining in the Trust at a price (such price being
referred to as the "Minimum Purchase Price") equal to the greater of:

                  (i) the sum of (x) 100% of the principal balance of each Loan
         (other than any Loan as to which title to the underlying property has
         been acquired and whose fair market value is included pursuant to
         clause (y) below), together with accrued and unpaid interest

                                       8-7
<PAGE>

         on each such Loan at a rate per annum equal to the Weighted Average
         Pass-Through Rate, plus (y) the fair market value of such acquired
         property (as reasonably determined by the Servicer as of the close of
         business on the third Business Day preceding the date of such
         purchase), and

                  (ii) the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance as of the
         date of such purchase (less any amounts on deposit in the Certificate
         Account on such purchase date and representing payments of principal in
         respect of the Loans) plus an amount necessary to pay the Class AF
         Formula Interest Distribution Amount, the Class MF-1 Formula Interest
         Distribution Amount, the Class MF-1 Formula Liquidation Loss Interest
         Distribution Amount, the Class MF-2 Formula Interest Distribution
         Amount, the Class MF-2 Formula Liquidation Loss Interest Distribution
         Amount, the Class BF-1 Formula Interest Distribution Amount, the Class
         BF-1 Formula Liquidation Loss Interest Distribution Amount and the
         Class BF-2 Formula Interest Distribution Amount due on the Payment Date
         occurring in the calendar month following such purchase date (less any
         amounts on deposit in the Certificate Account on such purchase date and
         representing payments of interest in respect of the Loans at a rate per
         annum equal to the Weighted Average Pass-Through Rate).

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

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

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

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

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

If such option is exercised, the Class C Certificateholder shall provide to the
Trustee (at the Class C Certificateholder's expense) the certification required
by Section 12.04, which certificate shall constitute a plan of complete
liquidation within the meaning of Section 860F of the Code, and the Trustee
shall promptly sign such certification and release to the Class C
Certificateholder the Loan Files pertaining to the Loans being purchased.

         c. The Class C Certificateholder may assign its rights under this
Section 8.06, separately from its other rights as Holder of the Class C
Certificate, by giving written notice of such assignment to the Trustee.
Following the Trustee's receipt of such notice of assignment, the

                                       8-8
<PAGE>

Trustee shall recognize only such assignee (or its assignee in turn) as the
Person entitled to exercise the purchase option set forth in Section 8.06(a).

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

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

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

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

         If the Trustee receives a bid meeting the conditions specified in this
subsection (e), then the Trustee's written acceptance of such bid shall
constitute a plan of complete liquidation within

                                       8-9
<PAGE>

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

         f. If the Class C Certificateholder (or its assignee) has not delivered
to the Trustee the notice of exercise of its purchase option required by
subsection (b) by the Payment Date occurring in the month following the
Determination Date specified in subsection (d), then on the following Payment
Date and each Payment Date thereafter the Certificateholders shall be entitled
to receive the Additional Principal Distribution Amount in the order of priority
described in Section 8.04(b)(17).

         SECTION 8.07. Capitalized Interest Account.

         a. On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Capitalized Interest Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible

Section 2.02(m). The Capitalized Interest Account shall be entitled "Capitalized
Interest Account, U.S. Bank Trust National Association as Trustee for the
benefit of holders of Home Equity Loan Certificates, Series 2000-B." On the
Payment Date occurring in each of April 2000, May 2000 and June 2000, if the
Monthly Report for such Payment Date indicates that the Amount Available (after
payment of the amount specified in clause (1) of Section 8.04(b) and including
in the Amount Available only payments in respect of interest on the Loans) is
not sufficient to pay the Class AF Formula Interest Distribution Amount, the
Class MF-1 Formula Interest Distribution Amount, the Class MF-2 Formula Interest
Distribution Amount, and the Class BF-1 Formula Interest Distribution Amount,
the Trustee shall withdraw the amount of such deficiency, or the amount of funds
in the Capitalized Interest Account (net of any investment earnings thereon), if
less, and shall deposit such funds in the Certificate Account for distribution
on such Payment Date in order first to pay any deficiency in the Amount
Available to pay the Class AF Formula Interest Distribution Amount, second to
pay any deficiency in the Amount Available to pay the Class MF-1 Formula
Interest Distribution Amount, third to pay any deficiency in the Amount
Available to pay the Class MF-2 Formula Interest Distribution Amount, and fourth
to pay any deficiency in the Amount Available to pay the Class BF-1 Formula
Interest Distribution Amount.

         b. The Capitalized Interest Account shall be part of the Trust but not
part of the REMIC. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the legal owner
of the Capitalized Interest Account. The Seller shall be the beneficial owner of
the Capitalized Interest Account, subject to the foregoing power of the Trustee
to transfer amounts in the Capitalized Interest Account to the Certificate
Account. Funds in the Capitalized Interest Account shall, at the direction of
the Seller, be invested in Eligible Investments that mature no later than the
Business Day prior to the next succeeding Payment Date. All net income and gain
from such investments shall be distributed to the Seller on such Payment Date.
All amounts earned on amounts on deposit in the Capitalized Interest Account
shall be taxable to the Seller.

         c. Any funds remaining in the Capitalized Interest Account after the
Payment Date in June 2000 shall be distributed to the Seller. After such date no
further amounts shall be deposited in or withdrawn from the Capitalized Interest
Account. Any losses on such

                                      8-10
<PAGE>

investments shall be deposited in the Capitalized Interest Account by the Seller
out of its own funds immediately as realized.

         SECTION 8.08. Pre-Funding Account.

         a. On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall establish the
Pre-Funding Account on behalf of the Trust, which must be an Eligible Account,
and shall deposit therein the amount received from the Seller pursuant to
Section 2.02(l). The Pre-Funding Account shall be entitled "Pre-Funding Account,
U.S. Bank Trust National Association as Trustee for the benefit of holders of
Home Equity Loan Certificates, Series 2000-B." Funds deposited in the
Pre-Funding Account shall be held in trust by the Trustee for the Holders of the
Certificates and the Class C Certificate for the uses and purposes set forth
herein.

         b. On or before the Closing Date the Originator shall deposit in the
Pre-Funding Account the amount specified in Section 2.02(l). Amounts on deposit
in such account shall be withdrawn by the Trustee as follows:

                  (i) On any Subsequent Transfer Date, the Trustee shall
         withdraw from the Pre-Funding Account an amount equal to 100% of the
         Cut-off Date Principal Balance of each Subsequent Loan transferred and
         assigned to the Trustee on such Subsequent Transfer Date and pay such
         amount to or upon the order of the Originator 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 Payment Date, the Trustee shall deposit into the
         Certificate Account any amounts remaining in the Pre-Funding Account,
         net of investment earnings.

         c. The Pre-Funding Account shall be part of the Trust but not part of
the REMIC. The Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall be the legal owner of the
Pre-Funding Account. The Seller shall be the beneficial owner of the Pre-Funding
Account, subject to the foregoing power of the Trustee to transfer amounts in
the Pre-Funding Account to the Certificate Account. Funds in the Pre-Funding
Account shall, at the direction of the Servicer, be invested in Eligible
Investments of the kind described in clauses (i) and (ii)(A) of the definition
of "Eligible Investments" and that mature no later than the Business Day prior
to the next succeeding Payment Date. All amounts earned on deposits in the
Pre-Funding Account shall be taxable to the Seller. The Trustee shall release to

         SECTION 9.01. The Certificates and the Class C Certificate. The Class

         The Certificates and the Class C Certificate shall be executed by
manual signature on behalf of the Trustee by a duly authorized Responsible
Officer or authorized signatory. Certificates or the Class C Certificate bearing
the signatures of individuals who were at any time the proper officers of the
Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of
them have ceased to hold such offices prior to the execution and delivery of

                                       9-1
<PAGE>

         SECTION 9.02. Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates and
the Class C Certificate.

         a. The Trustee shall keep at the office or agency to be maintained in
accordance with Section 12.03 a "Certificate Register" in which the Trustee
shall provide for the registration of Certificates and the Class C Certificate
and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates and the Class C Certificate as
herein provided. The Trustee initially appoints itself to be the "Certificate
Registrar" and transfer agent for the purpose of registering Certificates and
the Class C Certificate and transfers and exchanges of Certificates and the
Class C Certificate as provided herein. The Trustee will give prompt written
notice to Certificateholders, the Class C Certificateholder and the Servicer of
any change in the Certificate Registrar.

         b. (1) Subject to clauses (2) and (3) below, no transfer of a Class P
or Class C Certificate shall be made by the Seller or any other Person unless
such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act
of 1933 (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
K attached hereto, which investment letter shall not be an expense of the
Trustee or the Originator. The Class P or Class C Certificateholder desiring to
effect such transfer shall, and does hereby agree to, indemnify the Trustee, the
Originator and the Certificate Registrar against any liability that may result
if the transfer is not so exempt or is not made in accordance with such federal
and state laws.

         (2) No transfer of a Class MF, Class BF, Class P or Class C Certificate
or any interest therein shall be made to any employee benefit plan that is
subject to ERISA, or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or to
any person or entity purchasing on behalf of, or with assets of, such an
employee benefit plan (each, a "Plan"), unless the Plan delivers to the
Originator and the Trustee, an Opinion of Counsel in form satisfactory to the
Originator and the Trustee that the purchase and holding of such Certificate or
Class C Certificate by such Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust
being deemed to be "plan assets" and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Originator, the Seller or the Servicer to any obligation or liability in
addition to those undertaken in this Agreement. Unless such opinion is delivered
and in the case of Definitive Certificates, each person acquiring such a
Certificate or Class C Certificate will be deemed to represent to the Trustee,
the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer either (i) that such person is
neither a Plan, nor acting on behalf of a Plan, subject to ERISA or to Section
4975 of the Code, or (ii) that the purchase and holding of the Certificate or
Class C Certificate by such Plan will not result in the assets of the Trust
being deemed to be Plan assets and subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA and the Code and will not subject the Trustee, the
Originator or the Servicer to any obligation or liability in addition to those
undertaken in this Agreement.

                                       9-2
<PAGE>

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

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

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

         c. At the option of a Certificateholder or a Class C Certificateholder,
Certificates and the Class C Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates
or Class C Certificate of

                                       9-3
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

                                       9-4
<PAGE>

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 AF-1 Certificate, one Class AF-2 Certificate, one Class
AF-3 Certificate, one Class AF-4 Certificate, one Class AF-5 Certificate, one
Class AF-6 Certificate, one Class MF-1 Certificate, one Class MF-2 Certificate,
one Class BF-1 Certificate and one Class BF-2 Certificate, each in registered
form registered in the name of the Depository's nominee, Cede & Co., the total
face amount of which represents 100% of the Original Class Principal Balance of
each Class, respectively. Each such Certificate registered in the name of the
Depository's nominee shall bear the following legend:

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

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

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

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

                                       9-5
<PAGE>

duplicate Certificate or Class C Certificate issued pursuant to this Section
9.04 shall constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership of the
Percentage Interest, as if originally issued, whether or not the mutilated,
destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate or Class C Certificate shall be found at
any time.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      10-1
<PAGE>

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

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

                                   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 to the requirements of this Agreement.

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

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

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

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

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

                                      11-1
<PAGE>

         event from the Servicer or the Certificateholders representing, in the
         aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance.

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

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

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

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

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

                  d. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and
         after the curing of all Events of Termination which may have occurred,
         the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts
         or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement,
         instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval,
         bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do
         by Certificateholders representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of
         the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance; provided, however, that if
         the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee

                                      11-2
<PAGE>

         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 hereunder.

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

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

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

<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

         The covenants in this Section 11.06 shall be for the benefit of the
Trustee in its capacities as Trustee, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar
hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

         SECTION 11.07. Eligibility Requirements for Trustee. The Trustee
hereunder shall at all times be a financial institution organized and doing
business under the laws of the United States of America or any State, authorized
under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, and shall have a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000 or shall be a member of a bank
holding system the aggregate combined capital and surplus of which is
$50,000,000, provided that the Trustee's separate capital and surplus shall at
all times be at least the amount required by Section 310(a)(2) of the Trust
Indenture Act of 1939, as amended. If such Person publishes reports of condition
at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or
examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 11.07, the combined
capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital
and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In
addition, the Trustee (or, if the Trustee is U.S. Bank National Association, the
parent company of U.S. Bank Trust National Association) shall at all times have
(a) a long-term deposit rating from S&P of at least BBB or as shall be otherwise
acceptable to S&P, (b) have a long-term deposit rating from Moody's of at least
Baa2 or as shall be otherwise acceptable to Moody's and (c) a long-term deposit
rating from Duff & Phelps of at least BBB or as shall be otherwise acceptable to
Duff & Phelps. In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.07, the Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 11.08.

                                      11-4
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

         Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor Trustee as provided in
this Section 11.09, the Servicer shall cause notice of the succession of such
Trustee hereunder to be mailed to the Rating Agencies and to each
Certificateholder and the Class C Certificateholder at their

                                      11-5
<PAGE>

addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If the Servicer fails to mail
such notice within ten days after acceptance of appointment by the successor
Trustee, the successor Trustee shall cause such notice to be mailed at the
expense of the Servicer.

         SECTION 11.10. Merger or Consolidation of Trustee. Any Person into
which the Trustee may be merged or converted or with which it may be
consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or
consolidation to which the Trustee shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to
the corporate trust business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the
Trustee hereunder, provided such Person shall be eligible under the provisions
of Section 11.07, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further
act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding. The Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies in the
event it is a party to any merger, conversion or consolidation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

                  e. The Trustee will cooperate with and assist
         Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder in their defense
         of legal actions by Obligors to recover affirmative

                                      11-6
<PAGE>

         claims if such cooperation and assistance is not contrary to the
         interests of the Trustee as a party to such legal actions and if the
         Trustee is satisfactorily indemnified for all liability, costs and
         expenses arising therefrom; and

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

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

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

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

                                      11-7
<PAGE>

this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or
affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with
the Trustee.

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

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

         SECTION 11.15. Trustee Advances.

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

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

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

                                   ARTICLE XII

                                  MISCELLANEOUS
                                  -------------

         SECTION 12.01. Servicer Not to Resign; Delegation of Servicing Duties.
The Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on
it except upon determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is no
longer permissible under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the
resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for the
Servicer to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall
become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed
the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section
7.03.

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

         SECTION 12.02. Conseco Finance Corp. and Seller Not to Engage in
Certain Transactions with Respect to the Trust. Neither Conseco Finance Corp.
nor the Seller shall:

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

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

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

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

         SECTION 12.04. Termination.

         a. The Trust created hereby and the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, the Guarantor and
the Trustee created hereby (other than the responsibility of the Trustee to make
any final distributions to Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder
as set forth below) shall terminate on the earlier of (a) the Payment Date on
which the principal balance of all of the Loans is reduced to zero; or (b) the
Payment Date

                                      12-1
<PAGE>

occurring in the month following the sale of the Loans pursuant to Section 8.06;
provided, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James, living on the date hereof, and provided, further, that the Servicer's and
the Originator's representations and warranties and indemnities by the
Originator and the Servicer shall survive termination. Any termination of the
Trust must be conducted so as to qualify as a "qualified liquidation" of the
REMIC within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions.

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

         c. Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates and the Class C
Certificate, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed from the Certificate
Account, in the following order of priority, to the Certificateholders and the
Class C Certificateholder on the Final Payment Date in proportion to their
respective Percentage Interests: (1) to the extent the Amount Available is
sufficient therefor, and in the order of priority provided for in Section
8.04(b), an amount equal to (i) as to Class AF Certificates, the Class AF
Principal Balance and, together with any Unpaid Class AF Interest Shortfall and
one month's interest at the Pass-Through Rate for each Class of Class AF
Certificates on the Class Principal Balance, respectively, (ii) as to the Class
MF-1

                                      12-2
<PAGE>

Certificates, the Class MF-1 Principal Balance, together with any Unpaid Class
MF-1 Interest Shortfall, any Unpaid Class MF-1 Liquidation Loss Interest
Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class MF-1 Pass-Through Rate on the
Class MF-1 Principal Balance, (iii) as to Class MF-2 Certificates, the Class
MF-2 Principal Balance, together with any Unpaid Class MF-2 Interest Shortfall,
any Unpaid Class MF-2 Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and one month's
interest at the Class MF-2 Pass-Through Rate on the Class MF-2 Principal
Balance, (iv) as to Class BF-1 Certificates, the Class BF-1 Principal Balance,
together with any Unpaid Class BF-1 Interest Shortfall any Unpaid Class BF-1
Liquidation Loss Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class BF-1
Pass-Through Rate on the Class BF-1 Principal Balance, (v) as to Class BF-2
Certificates, the Class BF-2 Principal Balance, together with any Unpaid Class
BF-2 Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class BF-2 Pass-Through
Rate on the Class BF-2 Principal Balance and (vi) as to the Class P Certificate,
the Class P Principal Balance and any Prepayment Charges; and (2) as to the
Class C Certificate, the amount which remains on deposit in the Certificate
Account (other than amounts retained to meet claims) after application pursuant
to clause (1) above; provided, that, any Class BF-2 Guaranty Payment deposited
in the Certificate Account shall be distributed only to the Class BF-2
Certificateholders. The distribution on the Final Payment Date pursuant to this
Section 12.04 shall be in lieu of the distribution otherwise required to be made
on such Payment Date in respect of each Class of Certificates and the Class C
Certificate.

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

         SECTION 12.05. Acts of Certificateholders and Class C
Certificateholder.

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

                                      12-3
<PAGE>

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

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

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

         e. Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other act by a Certificateholder or the Class C Certificateholder
shall bind every holder of every Certificate or the Class C Certificate, as
applicable, issued upon the registration of transfer thereof or in exchange
therefor or in lieu thereof, in respect of anything done, or omitted to be done
by the Trustee, the Servicer or the Originator in reliance thereon, whether or
not notation of such action is made upon such Certificates or Class C
Certificate.

         f. The Trustee may require such additional proof of any matter referred
to in this Section as it shall deem necessary.

         SECTION 12.06. Assignment or Delegation by Company. 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 representing, in the
aggregate, 66-2/3% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance, and
any attempt to do so without such consent shall be void. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the Originator may not delegate its obligations under Section 8.03
absent (a) the prior written consent of Holders of Certificates representing, in
the aggregate, 66-2/3% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance,
and the prior written confirmation of the Rating Agencies that the rating of the
Certificates will not be lowered or withdrawn following such delegation, or (b)
the prior written consent of all of the Certificateholders, and any attempt to
do so without such consent shall be void. It is understood that the foregoing
does not prohibit the pledge or assignment by the Originator of any right to
payment pursuant to Article VIII.

         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 or the Class C

                                      12-4
<PAGE>

Certificateholder, 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 the Trust as a "real estate mortgage investment conduit"
under the REMIC Provisions of the Code or to otherwise effectuate the benefits
of such status to the Trust, the Certificateholders or the Class C
Certificateholder, including, without limitation, to implement any provision
permitted by law that would enable a REMIC to avoid the imposition of any tax,
or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising
under this Agreement that shall not be inconsistent with the provisions of this
Agreement; provided, however, that such action shall not, as evidenced by an
Opinion of Counsel for the Servicer, 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 representing, in the aggregate, 66-2/3% or more of the Aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance, 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 such 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 Loans 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
Trust as a REMIC under the Code, (d) adversely affect the status of the Trust as
a REMIC or the status of the Certificates as "regular interests" in the REMIC,
or (e) cause any tax (other than any tax imposed on "net income from foreclosure
property" under Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code that would be imposed without
regard to such amendment) to be imposed on the Trust, including, without
limitation, any tax imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section
860F(a)(1) of the Code or on "contributions after the startup date" under
Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code. This Agreement may not be amended without the
consent of the Class C Certificateholder, 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
Certificateholder.

         c. This Agreement shall not be amended under this Section without the
consent of 100% of the Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder if
such amendment would result in the disqualification of the Trust as a REMIC
under the Code.

         d. Concurrently with the solicitation of any consent pursuant to this
Section 12.08, the Trustee shall furnish written notification to S&P, Moody's
and Duff & Phelps. Promptly after the execution of any amendment or consent
pursuant to this Section 12.08, the Trustee shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment to S&P, Moody's, Duff & Phelps, each
Certificateholder and the Class C Certificateholder.

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

                                      12-5
<PAGE>

by Certificateholders and the Class C Certificateholder shall be subject to such
reasonable requirements as the Trustee may prescribe.

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

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

         h. Upon the execution of any amendment or consent pursuant to this
Section 12.08, 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 or the Class C Certificateholder hereunder shall be
bound thereby.

         i. In the absence of the consent described in subsection (d) 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 REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the
Certificates as "regular interests" therein, and (ii) will not cause any tax
(other than any tax imposed on "net income from foreclosure property" under
Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code that would be imposed without regard to such
amendment) to be imposed on the Trust, including, without limitation, any tax
imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on
"contributions after the startup date" under Section 860G(d)(1) of the Code.

         SECTION 12.08. Notices. All communications and notices pursuant hereto

the holder assents to and becomes bound by the Agreement. To the extent not

aggregate Percentage Interest of at least 5% of the Class AF-[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Certificates and so desires, by wire transfer pursuant to instructions delivered
to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to such Payment Date) to the registered

Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the
Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of the Class AF-[1][2][3][4][5][6]

registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in

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

         Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of
The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC") to the Trustee or

issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as

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

opinion of counsel (satisfactory to the Originator and the Trustee) that the

Class BF-[1][2], issued by Conseco Finance Home Equity Loan Trust 2000-B (the
"Trust"), which includes among its assets a pool of closed-end home equity loans
(the "Loans") (including, without limitation, all mortgages, deeds of trust and
security deeds relating to such Loans and any and all rights to receive payments
due on the Loans after the applicable Cut-off Date [and payments due under the
Class BF-2 Limited Guaranty]). The Trust has been created pursuant to a Pooling
and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of March 1, 2000, among
Conseco Finance Corp., as Originator, Servicer and Guarantor (the "Originator"),
Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp., as Seller (the "Seller") and U.S. Bank
Trust National Association as Trustee of the Trust (the "Trustee"). This
Certificate is one of the Certificates described in the Agreement and is issued
pursuant and subject to the Agreement. By acceptance of this Certificate the
holder assents to and becomes bound by the Agreement. To the extent not defined
herein, all capitalized terms have the meanings assigned to such terms in the
Agreement.

         The Agreement contemplates, subject to its terms, payment on the
fifteenth day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day) (the "Payment Date") of each calendar month commencing in April
2000, so long as the Agreement has not been terminated, by check (or, if such
Certificateholder holds Class BF-[1][2] Certificates with an aggregate
Percentage Interest of at least 5% of the Class BF-[1][2] Certificates and so
desires, by wire transfer pursuant to instructions delivered to the Trustee at
least 10 days prior to such Payment Date) to the registered Certificateholder at
the address appearing on the Certificate Register as of the Business Day
immediately preceding such Payment Date, in an amount equal to the

                                       C-2
<PAGE>

Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of the Class BF-[1][2] Distribution
Amount [and] any Additional Principal Distribution Amount [and any Class BF-2
Guaranty Payment] for such Payment Date. Distributions of interest and principal
on the Class BF-[1][2] Certificates will be made primarily from amounts
available in respect of the Loans. The final scheduled Payment Date of this
Certificate is March 15, 2031 or the next succeeding Business Day if such March
15 is not a Business Day.

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds in the Certificate Account [and the Class
BF-2 Limited Guaranty of the Guarantor], to the extent available for
distribution to the Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement, for payment
hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual capacity is not personally
liable to the Certificateholder for any amounts payable under this Certificate
or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to
any liability under the Agreement. By acceptance of this Certificate, the
Certificateholder agrees to disclosure of his, her or its name and address to
other Certificateholders under the conditions specified in the Agreement.

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

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

Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for
registration of transfer at the office or agency maintained by the Trustee in

         2. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement (including the Class BF-2
Limited Guaranty contained therein) has been duly authorized by all requisite
corporate action, duly executed and delivered by the Originator, and constitutes
the valid and binding obligation of the Originator enforceable in accordance
with its 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 Certificates by
the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement.

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

         5. Neither the transfer of the Loans to the Trustee acting on behalf of
the Trust, nor the assignment of the Originator's lien on the related real
estate which is the subject of a home equity loan, nor the issuance or sale of
the Certificates and the Class C Certificate, nor the execution and delivery of
the 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, the Class C Certificate 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 Restated 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, nor to the best of our
knowledge, are there any investigations pending or overtly threatened against
the Originator before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A)
asserting the invalidity of the Pooling and Servicing

                                       F-1
<PAGE>

Agreement, the Certificates, the Class C Certificate, the hazard or flood
insurance policies applicable to any Loans or the Errors and Omissions
Protection Policy, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or
the Class C Certificate or the consummation of any of the transactions
contemplated by the 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 the Class C Certificate, or (D) seeking
adversely to affect the federal income tax attributes of the Certificates or the
Class C Certificate described in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement
under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences."

         7. The transfer of the Loans to the Trust in accordance with Section
2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement would not be avoidable as a
preferential transfer under Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11
U.S.C. ss. 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 Originator has
transferred to the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust all of the Originator's
right, title and interest in the Loans, free and clear of any and all other
assignments, encumbrances, options, rights, claims, liens or security interests
(except tax or possessory liens) that may affect the right of the Trustee in and
to such Loans, and has delivered the Loan Files to the Trustee or its custodian.
No filing or other action, other than the filing of a financing statement on
Form UCC-1 with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota identifying the
Loans as collateral and naming the Originator as debtor and the Trust as secured
party, and the filing of continuation statements as required by Section 4.01 of
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is necessary to perfect as against third
parties the assignment of the Loans by the 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 Loans and
the proceeds thereof, which security interest would be prior to any other
security interest that may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in
effect in the State of Minnesota and over any "lien creditor" (as defined in
Minn. Stat. ss.336.9-301(3)) who becomes such after the Closing Date, except
that a subsequent purchaser of any Loan who gives new value and takes possession
thereof in the ordinary course of his business would have priority over the
Trustee's security interest in such Loan, if such purchaser acts without
knowledge that such Loan was subject to a security interest. We have assumed for
the purposes of this opinion that during the term of the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement the Trustee, or its custodian, shall maintain possession of the Loan
Files for the purpose of perfecting the assignment to the Trustee of the Loans.
We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any individual Loan
or the existence of any claims, rights or other matters in favor of any Obligor
or the owner of any financed home improvement.

         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 on behalf of the REMIC of a proper election to be taxed as
a REMIC, as of the date hereof the REMIC created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will qualify as a REMIC. Further, the

                                       F-2
<PAGE>

Certificates will evidence ownership of the "regular interests" in the REMIC and
the Class C Certificate will evidence ownership of the single class of "residual
interest" in the REMIC. For Minnesota income tax purposes, and subject to the
foregoing assumptions, and the provisions of Minnesota law as of the date
hereof, the Trust (excluding the Capitalized Interest Account and the
Pre-Funding Account) will not be subject to tax and the income of the Trust will
be taxable to the holders of interests therein, all in accordance with the
provisions of the Code concerning REMICs. Moreover, ownership of Certificates
will not be a factor in determining whether such owner is subject to Minnesota
income taxes. Therefore, if the owner of Certificates is not otherwise subject
to Minnesota income or franchise taxes in the State of Minnesota, such owner
will not become subject to such Minnesota taxes solely by virtue of owning
Certificates.

         10. The transfer of the Loans and the proceeds thereof by the
Originator 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. ss.ss. 513.41 through 513.51), nor, should the Originator become a
debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as a fraudulent transfer under
Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ss. 548) as in
effect on the date hereof.

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

         The Agreement contemplates, subject to its terms, payment on the
fifteenth day (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next succeeding
Business Day) (the "Payment Date") of each calendar month commencing in April
2000, so long as the Agreement has not been terminated, by check to the
registered Class C Certificateholder at the address appearing on the Certificate
Register as of the Business Day immediately preceding such Payment Date, in an
amount equal to the difference between (A) the Amount Available, and (B) the sum
of (i) the Class AF Distribution Amount, (ii) the Class MF-1 Distribution
Amount, (iii) the Class MF-2 Distribution Amount, (iv) the Class BF-1
Distribution Amount, (v) the Class BF-2 Distribution Amount, (vi) the Monthly
Servicing Fee with respect to the Loans, (vii) any Additional Principal
Distribution Amount, (viii) amounts to reimburse the Class C Certificateholder
for reimbursable expenses incurred by them, (ix) amounts to reimburse the
Servicer or the Trustee, as applicable,

                                       I-2
<PAGE>

for prior Advances with respect to the Loans, (x) amounts necessary to reimburse
the Originator for any previous unreimbursed Class BF-2 Guaranty Payments, (xi)
the Class BF-2 Guaranty Fee, and (xii) any Class P Distribution Amount. The
final scheduled Payment Date of this Class C Certificate is March 15, 2031 or
the next succeeding Business Day if such March 15 is not a Business Day.

         The Class C Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate,
agrees that it will look solely to the funds in the Certificate Account to the
extent available for distribution to the Class C Certificateholder as provided
in the Agreement for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual
capacity is not personally liable to the Class C Certificateholder for any
amounts payable under this Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly
provided in the Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement. By
acceptance of this Certificate, the Class C Certificateholder agrees to
disclosure of his, her or its name and address to other Certificateholders under
the conditions specified in the Agreement.

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

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

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

such Article 8 as in effect in the state of Minnesota from time to time.

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

securities laws in connection with any subsequent resale of the Certificates.

         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 either (check one box):

                  forth in Section 9.02(b)(2) of the Pooling and Servicing
                  Agreement.

substantially as set forth in the form of Certificate included in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement.

interest and (ii) it intends to pay the taxes associated with holding the Class
C Certificate as they become due.

         8. The Purchaser agrees that it will obtain from any purchaser of the
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,

         The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees
that it will look solely to the funds in the Certificate Account to the extent
available for distribution to the Certificateholder as provided in the Agreement
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual capacity is not
personally liable to the Certificateholder for any amounts payable under this
Certificate or the Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement,
subject to any liability under the Agreement. By acceptance of this Certificate,
the Certificateholder agrees to disclosure of his, her or its name and address
to other Certificateholders under the conditions specified in the Agreement.

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

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

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

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