provided, further, that if the result of the foregoing would be for three
consecutive Payment Dates to base LIBOR on the rate applicable in the
immediately preceding Accrual Period, for such third consecutive Payment Date

         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,
and the Certificateholders 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:

         (i)      the Seller shall have provided the Trustee with an Addition
                  Notice at least five Business Days prior to the Subsequent
                  Transfer Date and shall have provided any information
                  reasonably 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 the Subsequent Transfer Date;

         (iii)    the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee a duly executed
                  Subsequent Transfer Instrument substantially in the form of
                  Exhibit O, which shall include a List of Loans identifying the
                  related Subsequent Loans;

         (iv)     as of each Subsequent Transfer Date, as evidenced by delivery
                  of the Subsequent Transfer Instrument, the Seller shall not be
                  insolvent nor shall

                                      2-3
<PAGE>

                  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 Master REMIC,
                  Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC) or the
                  Certificateholders;

         (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 and 3.03;

         (viii)   the Seller and the Originator shall have delivered to the
                  Trustee Opinions of Counsel addressed to the Rating Agencies
                  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 has a Combined LTV greater than 100%; and

         (x)      the Trustee shall have delivered its Acknowledgment as
                  described in Section 2.04(a).

         (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 the Rating Agencies, the Underwriters and the
                  Trustee) that is in form, substance and methodology the same
                  as that delivered under Section 2.02(d) of this Agreement,
                  except that it shall address the Subsequent Loans and their
                  conformity 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 A,
                  Class M-1, Class M-2 and Class B-1 Certificates as of the
                  Closing Date by the Rating Agencies 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 less the
                  Class B-2 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. The
Trustee acknowledges the assignment to it of the Uncertificated Subsidiary
Interests and Uncertificated Intermediate Interests and declares that it holds
and will hold the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests and Uncertificated
Intermediate Interests in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the
Certificateholders. In consideration of the assignment to it of the
Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests and Uncertificated Intermediate Interests,
the Trustee has issued on the Closing Date, to or upon the order of the Seller,
the Certificates and the Class R Certificate representing, in the aggregate,
ownership of the entire beneficial interest in the Master REMIC.

         (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 each holder of the Class R-I
Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the Class R-III Interest, by acceptance
thereof, each agree that, in accordance with the requirements of Section
860D(b)(1) of the Code, the federal tax return of each of the Subsidiary REMIC,
Intermediate REMIC and Master REMIC for its first taxable year shall provide an
election for the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC, as the
case may be, 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 each of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Master REMIC as a
REMIC under the REMIC Provisions of the Code, including, but not limited to, the
taking of such action as is necessary to cure any inadvertent termination of
REMIC status.

         (b) The Regular Certificates are being issued in twelve classes and are
hereby designated by the Seller as the "regular interests" in the Master REMIC
for the purposes of Section 860G(a)(1) of the Code. The following terms of the
Regular Certificates are irrevocably established as of the Closing Date:

(1)      The Class P Certificate is entitled to all Prepayment Charges.

         The Class R-I Interest is being issued in a single Class and is hereby
designated by the Seller as the sole class of "residual interests" in the
Subsidiary REMIC for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code.

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

         (f) After the Closing Date, neither the Trustee, the Originator, the
Seller nor any Servicer shall:

                  in Sections 3.06, 3.08 and 8.06,

         (iii)    engage in any "prohibited transaction," as defined in Sections
                  860F(a)(2) and (5) of the Code, except as may be contemplated
                  by Section 3.07,

         (iv)     accept any contribution after the Closing Date that is subject
                  to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code or

         (v)      engage in any activity or enter into any agreement that would
                  result in the receipt by the Subsidiary REMIC, the
                  Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC of any "net income from
                  foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c)(2) of the
                  Code, unless, prior to any such action set forth in clauses
                  (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) the Trustee shall have received
                  an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be
                  an expense of the Trust, stating that such action will not,
                  directly or indirectly,

                  (A)      adversely affect the status of the Subsidiary REMIC,
                           the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC
                           or the status of the Uncertificated Subsidiary
                           Interests or Class P Certificate as "regular
                           interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the
                           Class R-I Interest as the sole class of "residual
                           interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the
                           Uncertificated Intermediate Interests as "regular
                           interests" in the Intermediate

                           REMIC, the status of the Class R-II Interest as the
                           sole class of "residual interests" in the
                           Intermediate REMIC, the status of the Regular
                           Certificates as "regular interests" in the Master
                           REMIC, or the status of the Class R-III Interest as
                           the sole class of "residual interests" in the Master
                           REMIC,

                  (B)      affect the distributions payable hereunder to the
                           Certificateholders or

                  (C)      result in the imposition of any lien, charge or
                           encumbrance upon the Subsidiary REMIC, the
                           Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC.

         (g) 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
Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC of such property
subsequent to the period then permitted by the Code will not result in the
imposition of any taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Subsidiary REMIC,
the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC, as defined in Section 860F of the
Code, or cause the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC
to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Uncertificated Subsidiary
Interests, Class P Certificate, Class R Certificate, Uncertificated Intermediate
Interests or Regular Certificates are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage,
conserve, protect and operate such real property, or any personal property
incident thereto, so that such property will not fail to qualify as "foreclosure
property," as defined in Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, and that the
management, conservation, protection and operation of such property will not
result in the receipt by the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the
Master REMIC of any "income from nonpermitted assets," within the meaning of
Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code.

         SECTION 2.06 Seller Option to Substitute for Prepaid Loans. The Seller
may, at its option, substitute new loans for Loans as to which a Principal
Prepayment in Full has been received by the Servicer prior to January 1, 2002
("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;

                                      2-9
<PAGE>

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

         (iv)     such substitution shall be accomplished prior to the
                  Determination Date immediately following the calendar month in
                  which the Principal Prepayment in Full was received by the
                  Servicer, and no such substitution shall take place after
                  January 14, 2002.

         (v)      the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of
                  Counsel

                  (A)      to the effect that the substitution of such Loan for
                           such Prepaid Loan will not cause the Master REMIC,
                           Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC 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.

         Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Loan
to be substituted to the List of Loans and shall reassign the Prepaid Loan to
the Originator as described in Section 3.08.

         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.

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

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

mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Seller is a party
or by which the Seller may be bound.

<PAGE>

         (e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before
any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the
knowledge of the Seller threatened, against the Seller or any of its properties
or with respect to this Agreement, the Certificates or the Class R 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.

         (g) Chief Executive Office. The chief executive office of the Seller is
at 300 Landmark Towers, 345 St. Peter Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55102-1639.
The Seller is a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the State
of Minnesota.

         (h) No Default. The Seller is not in default with respect to any order
or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state,
municipal or governmental agency, which default would materially and adversely
affect is condition (financial or other) or operations or its properties or the
consequences of which would materially and adversely affect its performance
hereunder. The Seller is not in default under any agreement involving financial
obligations or on any outstanding obligation which would materially adversely
impact its financial condition or operations or legal documents associated with
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.

         (i) Lawful Assignment. 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 Assignment, any and all documents
executed and delivered by the Seller pursuant to Section 2.01(a), and this
Agreement each constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Seller
enforceable in accordance with its respective terms.

         (j) Good Title. The Seller is the sole owner of the Loans and has the
authority to sell, transfer and assign such Loans to the Trust under the terms
of this Agreement. There has been no assignment, sale or hypothecation of the
Loans by the Seller, other than a hypothecation which terminates upon sale of
the Loans to the Trust. The Seller has good and marketable title to the Loans,
free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim, or
security interest of any type and has full right to transfer the Loans to the
Trust.

         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, 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.

                                      3-2
<PAGE>

         (b) Payments. No scheduled payment due under the Loan was delinquent
over 30 days as of the Cut-off Date (except for 0.34% of the Initial Loans by
Scheduled Principal Balance) if an Initial Loan or Additional Loan, or 29 days
as of the related Cut-off Date, if 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.

         (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 for each 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 R 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

                                      3-3
<PAGE>

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 contract and/or promissory note, and the mortgage,
deed of trust, security deed or other evidence of a lien on the related real
property, which evidence the Loan have 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
contract and/or promissory note, and the mortgage, deed of trust, security deed
or other evidence of a lien on the related real property, which evidence the
Loan are genuine and all parties to the Loan had full legal capacity to execute
such documents.

         (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 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, except
for 15 home equity Loans with an aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of
$1,346,397.02. As to each missing note, the

                                      3-4
<PAGE>

Originator has delivered to the Trustee or its Custodian a copy of the note and
a lost note affidavit.

         (r) Genuine Documents. All documents submitted are genuine, and all
other representations as to the 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
contractor or lender other than the Originator, the Originator makes such
representation and warranty only to the best of the Originator's knowledge).

         (s) Origination. The Loan was originated by a home equity lender or
home improvement contractor in the ordinary course of such lender's or
contractor's business or was originated by the Originator directly.

         (t) Underwriting Guidelines. The Loan was originated or purchased in
accordance with the Originator's then-current underwriting guidelines, and such

         SECTION 3.03 Additional Representations and Warranties. The Seller
hereby represents and warrants to the Trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders, 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 R 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

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, 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:

         (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

                  $677,500; and

         (v)      none of the Initial or Additional Loans has a Loan Interest
                  Rate less than 5.00%.

                  The weighted average (by Scheduled Principal Balance) Combined

have possession of each original Initial Loan and Additional Loan and the
related Loan File, except for each of the missing notes described in section
3.02(q), as to which the Originator has delivered to the Trustee or its
Custodian a copy of the note and a lost note affidavit. 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

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 or the

                                      3-8
<PAGE>

Certificateholders' 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 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 identifying the
                  Originator as debtor, naming the Seller as secured party and
                  filed in Delaware, listing such Loan to be substituted as
                  collateral;

         (iv)     the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion
                  of Counsel

                  (A)      to the effect that the substitution of such Loan for
                           such Replaced Loan will not cause the 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

                                      3-9
<PAGE>

                  (B)      to the effect of paragraph 9 of Exhibit F hereto; and

         (v)      if the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced Loan is
                  greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loan to be
                  substituted, the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller
                  for deposit in the Certificate Account the amount of such
                  excess and shall have included in the 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 each of the Rating Agencies.

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

         (i)      repurchase such Loan, at its respective Repurchase Price,
                  within 30 days of the Closing Date, or

         (ii)     substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan for the Loan within 90
                  days of the Closing Date.

         (d) The Originator shall defend and indemnify the Seller, the Trustee
and the Certificateholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims
and liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be
asserted against or incurred by any of them as a result of 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 Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC
                  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

                                      3-10
<PAGE>

         (iii)    constitute a contribution after the startup day subject to tax
                  under Section 860G(d) of the Code.

The Originator diligently shall attempt to obtain such Opinion of Counsel. In
the case of a repurchase or deposit pursuant to Section 3.06(a) or (b), the
Originator shall, notwithstanding the absence of such opinion as to the
imposition of any tax as the result of such purchase or deposit, repurchase such
Loan or make such deposit and shall guarantee the payment of such tax by paying
to the Trustee the amount of such tax not later than five Business Days before
such tax shall be due and payable to the extent that amounts previously paid
over to and then held by the Trustee pursuant to Section 6.06 are insufficient
to pay such tax and all other taxes chargeable under Section 6.06. Pursuant to
Section 6.06, the Servicer is hereby directed to withhold, and shall withhold
and pay over to the Trustee, an amount sufficient to pay such tax and any other
taxes imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(i) of the Code
or imposed on "contributions after startup date" under Section 860G(d) of the
Code from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R Certificateholder. The
Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee at the time of such repurchase of the
amounts due from the Originator pursuant to the guarantee of the Originator
described above and give notice as to who should receive such payment.

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

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

         SECTION 3.08 Reassignment of Repurchased and Replaced Loans. Upon
receipt by the Trust, by deposit in the Certificate Account, of the Repurchase
Price under Section 3.06(a), or upon receipt by the Trust of an Eligible
Substitute Loan under Section 2.06 or Section 3.06(b) and receipt by the Trust,
by deposit in the Certificate Account, of any additional amount under Section
3.06(b)(v), and upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit J-1 or J-2, as applicable, the Trustee shall convey
and assign to the 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 as a result of actions of the Trustee. Upon
such deposit of the Repurchase Price or receipt of such Eligible Substitute Loan
and related deposit of any additional amount under Section 3.06(b)(v), the
Servicer shall be deemed to have released any claims to such Loan as a result of
Advances with respect to such Loan.

         SECTION 3.09 Certain Representations and Warranties Regarding
Perfection of the Loans. The Seller represents that:

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

                                      3-11
<PAGE>

         (b) The Loans constitute "instruments", "tangible chattel paper",
"promissory notes", "payment intangibles" or "accounts" within the meaning of
the applicable UCC.

         (c) Seller owns and has good and marketable title to the Loans free and
clear of any Lien, claim or encumbrance of any Person.

         (d) The Seller has received all consents and approvals required by the
terms of the Loans to the sale of the Loans hereunder to the Trust.

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

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

         (g) The Seller has in its possession all original copies of the
mortgage notes and promissory notes that constitute or evidence the Loans. With
respect to any Loan bearing a stamp indicating that such Loan has been sold to
another party, such other party's interest in such Loan has been released. All
financing statements filed or to be filed against the Seller in favor of the
Trust in connection herewith describing the Loans contain a statement to the
following effect: "A purchase of or security interest in any collateral
described in this financing statement will violate the rights of the Secured
Party."

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

         SECTION 4.01 Transfer of Loans.

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

         (b) The Originator shall file promptly in the appropriate recording
offices the assignments to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust of the mortgage,

located in Maryland, and shall deliver to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel to
the effect that the recordation of assignments of the mortgages, deeds of trust
and security deeds, securing Loans relating to real estate located in any state
other than Maryland, is not necessary to effect the assignment to the Trustee of
the Originator's lien on the real property securing such Loans.

         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).

                               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
improvement contracts and 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 and the
Certificateholders until payment of any such amounts is authorized under this
Agreement. Only the Trustee may withdraw funds from the Certificate Account.

         (b) If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the
Certificate Account shall, in the name of the Trustee in its capacity as such,
invest the amounts in the Certificate Account in Eligible Investments that
mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding 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:

         (i)      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,

         (ii)     with respect to securities held in such account, such
                  securities shall be

                  (A)      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,

                  (B)      either

                           (1)      in the possession of such institution,

                           (2)      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,

                                      5-2
<PAGE>

                           (3)      held in an account of such institution with
                                    the Federal Reserve Bank of New York or the
                                    Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis, or

                           (4)      in the case of uncertificated securities,
                                    issued in the name of such institution, and

                  (C)      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

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

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

         (ii)

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

                                      5-3
<PAGE>

                  (B)      any other demand or time deposit or certificate of
                           deposit which is fully insured by the Federal Deposit
                           Insurance Corporation;

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

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

         (v)      securities that have been rated at least A-1+ by S&P (if rated
                  by S&P), F-1+ by Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and at least Aa2
                  from Moody's (if rated by Moody's), and 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 S&P (if
                  rated by S&P), in one of the two highest rating categories
                  from Fitch (if rated by Fitch) and Aa2 from Moody's (if rated
                  by Moody's); 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 (if
                  rated by S&P), at least F-1+ from Fitch (if rated by Fitch)
                  and at least P-1 from Moody's (if rated by Moody's) at the
                  time of such investment;

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

         (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

                                      5-4
<PAGE>

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

         (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. 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, 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.

         (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.

                                      5-5
<PAGE>

         (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 Master
REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or the Subsidiary REMIC 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 may
be in substantially the form of Exhibit J-4 hereto) 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 (which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 hereto) and
delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by such Servicing Officer, cause the
original Loan and the related Loan File to be released to the Servicer and shall
execute such documents as the Servicer shall deem necessary to the prosecution
of any such proceedings. The Trustee shall stamp the face of each such Loan to
be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Loan has been assigned to
the Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall perform such
other acts as reasonably requested by the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with
the Servicer in enforcement of the Certificateholders' rights and remedies with
respect to Loans.

                                      5-6
<PAGE>

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

         SECTION 5.08 Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by the
Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder, including payment of all fees and
expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of Loans, foreclosure upon
real estate securing any such Loans and all other fees and expenses not
expressly stated hereunder to be for the account of the Trust or the Originator,
and, while the Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is the
Servicer, payment of the Trustee's fees pursuant to Section 8.06 and fees and
expenses of accountants, shall be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall
not be entitled to reimbursement hereunder, except as provided in this Section
and 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. Reimbursement for
such Liquidation Expenses incurred in connection with pursuing claims in
bankruptcy proceedings shall not exceed $500 per Loan or $18,500 in the
aggregate. So long as the Servicer is not the Originator or a subsidiary or
affiliate of the Originator, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for any third
party costs incurred by it pursuant to Sections 6.06 or 11.06.

         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
improvement contracts and 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.

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

         SECTION 6.01 Monthly Reports. No later than one Business Day following
each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee and the

         (b) Copies of all reports and statements provided to the Trustee for
the Certificateholders shall also be provided to the Rating Agencies and the
Class R Certificateholder.

         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 R 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 R 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 R Certificate. The Servicer may, at its
expense if the Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is the
Servicer, and otherwise subject to reimbursement under Section 5.08 and 8.04(b),
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 REMICs.

         Each of the Holders of the Certificates or the Class R 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 the Class R 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 R 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
Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC or otherwise and shall, to
the extent provided in Section 10.06, be entitled to be reimbursed out of the
Certificate Account or, if such tax or charge results from a failure by the
Trustee, the Originator or any Servicer to comply with the provisions of Section
2.04 or 3.07, 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 R Certificateholder for the payment

                                      6-3
<PAGE>

of any such tax or charge. The Trustee shall be entitled to withhold from
amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R Certificateholder any taxes or
charges payable by the Class R Certificateholder hereunder.

         In the event the Class R 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 R 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 R 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.

         SECTION 7.01 Events of Termination. "Event of Termination" means the
occurrence of any of the following:

         (i)      Any failure by the Servicer to make any payment or deposit
                  required to be made hereunder (including an Advance) and the
                  continuance of such failure for a period of four Business
                  Days;

         (ii)     Failure on the Servicer's part to observe or perform in any
                  material respect any covenant or agreement in this Agreement
                  (other than a covenant or agreement which is elsewhere in this
                  Section specifically dealt with) which continues unremedied
                  for 30 days;

         (iii)    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;

         (iv)     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;

         (v)      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;

         (vi)     The failure of the Servicer to be an Eligible Servicer; or

         (vii)    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

                                      7-1
<PAGE>

Servicer's management, administrative, servicing and collection functions (such
termination being herein called a "Service Transfer"). On receipt of such notice
(or, if later, on a date designated therein), 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

                                      7-2
<PAGE>

successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be
necessary to effectuate any such succession.

         SECTION 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders.

         (a) Promptly following the occurrence of any Event of Termination, the
Servicer shall give written notice thereof to the Trustee, the Rating Agencies,
and the Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing on the
Certificate Register.

         (b) Within 10 days following any termination or appointment of a
successor to the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII, the Trustee shall give
written notice thereof to the Rating Agencies and to the Certificateholders at
their respective addresses appearing on the Certificate Register.

         SECTION 7.05 Effect of Transfer.

         (a) After the Service Transfer, the Trustee or new Servicer shall
notify Obligors to make payments directly to the new Servicer that are due under
the 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
and the Originator pursuant to Article X and Sections 3.07, 11.06 and 11.12(f))
other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing or
collection of the Loans after the Service Transfer.

         SECTION 7.06 Transfer of Certificate Account. Notwithstanding the
provisions of Section 7.02, if the Certificate Account shall be maintained with
the Servicer and an Event of Termination shall occur and be continuing, the
Servicer shall, after five days' written notice from the Trustee, or in any
event within ten days after the occurrence of the Event of Termination,
establish a new account or accounts in trust for the Certificateholders
conforming with the requirements of this Agreement at the corporate trust
department of the Trustee or with an institution other than the Servicer and
promptly cause the Trustee to transfer all funds in the Certificate Account to
such new account, which shall thereafter be deemed the Certificate Account for
the purposes hereof.

Certificate or Class R Certificate as of a Record Date shall be paid on the next
succeeding Payment Date by check mailed to such Certificateholder at the address
for such 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

Date), the sum equal to such Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of the

Final payment of any Certificate or the Class R Certificate shall be made only

         (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, the
Class B-3I Certificate as set forth in Exhibit I hereto and the Class R
Certificate as set forth in Exhibit Q 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 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 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 R Certificate.

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

Trustee shall bind the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of

shall be dated the Closing Date.

         SECTION 9.02 Registration of Transfer and Exchange of Certificates and
the Class R 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 R Certificate
and of transfers and exchanges of Certificates and the Class R 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 R Certificate and transfers and exchanges of Certificates and the
Class R Certificate as provided herein. The Trustee will give prompt written
notice to Certificateholders and the Servicer of any change in the Certificate
Registrar.

         (b) (i) Subject to clauses (ii) and (iii) below, no transfer of a Class
B-2, Class B-3I, Class P or Class R 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 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.

         (ii)     No transfer of a Class B-3I, Class B-2, Class P or Class R
                  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 Class B-3I, Class B-2,
                  Class P or Class R Certificate by such Plan will not result in
                  the assets of the Trust being deemed to be "plan assets" and

                                      9-2
<PAGE>

                  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 R Certificate will be deemed to represent to the
                  Trustee, the Originator, the Seller and the Servicer either

                  (A)      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

                  (B)      that the purchase and holding of the Class B-3I,
                           Class B-2, Class P or Class R 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.

         (iii)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein,

                  (A)      no Class R 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,

                           (1)      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,

                           (2)      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

                           (3)      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 R 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

                                      9-3

                           transfer of non-economic residual interests and
                           transfers of any residual interest to or by a foreign
                           person; provided, however, that, upon the delivery to
                           the Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel, in form and
                           substance satisfactory to the Trustee and rendered by
                           Independent counsel, to the effect that the
                           beneficial ownership of the Class R Certificate, as
                           applicable, by any Disqualified Organization will not
                           result in the imposition of federal income tax upon
                           the Trust or any Class R 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 R 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 R
                           Certificateholder, as applicable, for any purpose
                           hereunder, including, but not limited to, the receipt
                           of distributions on such Class R Certificate, and

                           Certificateholder, by his acceptance thereof, shall
                           be deemed for all purposes to have consented to the
                           provisions of this Section 9.02(b)(3).

         (iv)     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 Class B-2, Class
                  B-3I, Class P or Class R Certificateholder, as applicable, for

                  receipt of distributions on the Class R Certificate, and shall
                  be deemed to have no interest whatsoever in the Class R
                  Certificate.

         (v)      The Trustee shall give notice to the Rating Agencies promptly
                  following any transfer, sale or other disposition of a Class
                  B-3I or Class R Certificate.

         (c) At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates and the Class R
Certificate may be exchanged for other Certificates or Class R Certificate of
authorized denominations of a like aggregate original denomination, upon
surrender of such Certificates or the Class R Certificate to be exchanged at the
Corporate Trust Office. Whenever any Certificates or the Class R Certificate are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute and deliver the
Certificates or Class R Certificate which the Certificateholder making the
exchange is entitled to receive. Every Certificate or Class R Certificate
presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall

                                      9-4
<PAGE>

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:

         (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 the Trustee
                  or the Originator is unable to locate a qualified successor,
                  or

                                      9-5
<PAGE>

         (ii)     the Originator at its sole option advises the Trustee in
                  writing that it elects to terminate the book-entry system

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 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 B-2 Certificate, registered in the name of Cede & Co. (or
other nominee of the Depository), the total face amount of which represents 100%
of the Original Class B-2 Principal Balance. 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 R 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 R
Certificate. No service charge shall be made to a Certificateholder for any
transfer or exchange of a Certificate or a Class R 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

                                      9-6
<PAGE>

any transfer or exchange of a Certificate or a Class R Certificate. All
Certificates and Class R 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
R Certificate. If

         (a)      any mutilated Certificate or Class R 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 R
                  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 R 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 R Certificate, a new Certificate
                  or Class R Certificate of like tenor and original
                  denomination.

Upon the issuance of any new Certificate or Class R Certificate under this
Section 9.04, the Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover
any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and
any other expenses connected therewith. Any duplicate Certificate or Class R
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 R Certificate shall be found at any time.

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

         SECTION 9.06 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
The Certificate Registrar will furnish to the Trustee and the Servicer, within
five days after receipt by the Certificate Registrar of a request therefor from
the Trustee in writing, a list, in such form as the Trustee may reasonably
require, of the names and addresses of the Certificateholders as of the most
recent Record Date. If Holders of Certificates 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
with respect to their rights under this Agreement or under the Certificates or
the Class R Certificate and is accompanied by a copy of the

                                      9-7
<PAGE>

communication which such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Trustee shall,
within five Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such
Applicants access during normal business hours to the most recent list of
Certificateholders held by the Trustee. If such list is as of a date more than
90 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants' request, the Trustee
shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided
above, and shall afford such Applicants access to such list promptly upon
receipt. Every Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate or a
Class R Certificate, agrees with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that
none of the Originator, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee shall be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names
and addresses of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from
which such information was derived.

         SECTION 9.07 Authenticating Agents. The Trustee may appoint one or more
Authenticating Agents with power to act on its behalf and subject to its
direction in the execution and delivery of the Certificates or the Class R
Certificate. For all purposes of this Agreement, the execution and delivery of
Certificates or the Class R Certificate by the Authenticating Agent pursuant to
this Section shall be deemed to be the execution and delivery of Certificates or
the Class R 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 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 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 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 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
R 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 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 LIBOR Cap Counterparty and the Certificateholders against
any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and liabilities, including
reasonable fees and expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation, 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 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 R Certificateholder,
pursuant to Section 6.06, pays any taxes or charges imposed upon the Master
REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC, as the case may be, 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 R 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 R 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 event from the Servicer or the
Certificateholders representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate
Certificate Principal Balance.

                                      11-1
<PAGE>

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

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

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

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

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

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

                                      11-2
<PAGE>

         (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 R Certificate
or Loans. The Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the
recitals contained herein, in the Certificates or in the Class R 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 R Certificate (other than its execution thereof) or
of any Loan, Loan File or related document. The Trustee shall not be accountable
for the use or application by the Servicer, the Originator or the Seller of
funds paid to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable in consideration of
conveyance of the Loans to the Trust by the Originator and the Seller or
deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Servicer.

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

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

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

         (i)      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);

                                      11-3
<PAGE>

         (ii)     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), except
                  any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be
                  attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and

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

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

         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

         (i)      a long-term deposit rating from S&P of at least BBB or as
                  shall be otherwise acceptable to S&P,

         (ii)     a long-term deposit rating from Fitch of at least BBB or as
                  shall be otherwise acceptable to Fitch, and

         (ii)     a long-term deposit rating from Moody's of at least Baa2 or as
                  shall be otherwise acceptable to Moody's.

         In case at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 11.07, 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 at their addresses as shown in the Certificate Register. If
the Servicer fails to mail such notice within ten days after acceptance of

                                      11-5
<PAGE>

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

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:

         (i)      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, acting
                  in concert or cooperation with, any home improvement
                  contractor or 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 not as a principal or in any individual or personal
                  capacity;

         (ii)     The Trustee shall not be personally liable for or obligated to
                  pay Obligors any affirmative claims asserted thereby, or
                  responsible to Certificateholders for any offset defense
                  amounts applied against Loan payments, pursuant to such legal
                  actions;

         (iii)    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;

         (iv)     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;

         (v)      The Trustee will cooperate with and assist Certificateholders
                  in their defense of legal actions by Obligors to recover
                  affirmative claims if such cooperation and assistance is not
                  contrary to the interests of the Trustee as

                                      11-6
<PAGE>

                  a party to such legal actions and if the Trustee is
                  satisfactorily indemnified for all liability, costs and
                  expenses arising therefrom; and

         (vi)     The Originator hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and
                  defend the Trustee and Certificateholders from and against any
                  and all liability, loss, costs and expenses of the Trustee and
                  Certificateholders 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(vi)
                  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 of the appointment of
co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 11.09.

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

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

                                      11-7
<PAGE>

         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).

                                  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:

         (i)      Provide credit to any Certificateholder for the purpose of
                  enabling such Certificateholder to purchase Certificates;

         (ii)     Purchase any Certificates in an agency or trustee capacity; or

         (iii)    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 R 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 R 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 and the
Certificateholders of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or
any such office or agency.

         SECTION 12.04 Termination.

         (a) The Trust created hereby and the respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, and the Trustee
created hereby (other than the responsibility of the Trustee to make any final
distributions to Certificateholders as set forth below) shall terminate on the
earlier of

         (i)      the Payment Date on which the principal balance of all of the
                  Loans is reduced to zero; or

                                      12-1
<PAGE>

         (ii)     the Payment Date occurring in the month following the sale of
                  the Loans pursuant to Section 8.06;

provided, that in no event shall the trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Joseph P. Kennedy, the late Ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
James, living on the date hereof, and provided, further, that the Servicer's and
the Originator's representations and warranties and indemnities by the
Originator and the Servicer shall survive termination.

         (b) Any termination of the Trust must be conducted so as to qualify as
a "qualified liquidation" of the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Master
REMIC, as applicable, within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee's
acknowledgment of a notice given under Section 8.06(b)(iii) shall constitute a
plan of complete liquidation of the Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and
Subsidiary REMIC within the meaning of Section 860F of the Code.

         (c) The Trustee shall give notice of the Final Payment Date to the
Certificateholders, the Rating Agencies and the Certificate Registrar. The
Servicer shall direct the Trustee to give such notice ten days prior to the date
the Trustee is to mail such notice. The Trustee shall mail the notice no later
than the fifth Business Day of the month of the Final Payment Date. The notice
shall specify:

         (i)      the Final Payment Date (which shall be a date that would
                  otherwise be a Payment Date);

         (ii)     that final payment on the Certificates and the Class R
                  Certificate will be made upon presentation and surrender of
                  the Certificates and the Class R Certificate at the office or
                  agency of the Trustee therein designated;

         (iii)    the amount of any such final payment; and

         (iv)     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 R Certificate
                  at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.

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.

         (d) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates and the Class R
Certificate, the Trustee shall cause to be distributed from the Certificate
Account, in the following order of priority and to the Certificateholders on the
Final Payment Date in proportion to their respective Percentage Interests:

         (i)      to the extent the Amount Available is sufficient therefor, and
                  in the order of priority provided for in Section 8.04(b), an

Date in respect of each Class of Certificates and the Class R Certificate.

         (d) In the event that all of the Certificateholders do not surrender
their Certificates and the Class R 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 to surrender their Certificates and the Class R 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 R
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 who have not surrendered their
Certificates or the Class R Certificate, as the case may be, for cancellation,
together with the final record list of Certificateholders, and the Originator

to contact each of the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of
their Certificates and to contact the Class R Certificateholder concerning its
surrender of the Class R 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.

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

         (b) Any request, demand, authorization, direction, notice, consent,
waiver or other action provided by this Agreement to be given or taken by
Certificateholders may be embodied in and evidenced by one or more instruments
of substantially similar tenor signed by such Certificateholders 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 of any
such instrument or writing may be proved in any reasonable manner which the
Trustee deems sufficient.

registration of transfer thereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu

                                      12-4
<PAGE>

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 R 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.

         SECTION 12.07 Amendment.

         (a) This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Originator,
the Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee, without the consent of any of the
Certificateholders, to correct manifest error, to cure any ambiguity, to correct
or supplement any provisions herein which may be inconsistent with any other
provisions herein, as the case may be, to make such changes as are necessary to
maintain the status of 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, 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 Seller, 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

         (i)      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,

         (ii)     reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any
                  such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all
                  Certificates then outstanding,

         (iii)    result in the disqualification of the Master REMIC,
                  Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC under the Code,

                                      12-5
<PAGE>

         (iv)     adversely affect the status of the Master REMIC, Intermediate
                  REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC as a REMIC or the status of the
                  Certificates as "regular interests" in the REMIC, or

         (v)      cause any tax (other than any tax imposed on "net income from
                  foreclosure property" under Section 860G(c)(1) of the Code

imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(1) of the Code or on

the consents required by the immediately preceding clauses (1) and (2).

              SERIES 2001-D, CLASS A-[1a][1b][2][3][4][5] (SENIOR)

         THIS CERTIFICATE DOES NOT REPRESENT AN OBLIGATION OF OR AN INTEREST IN
CONSECO FINANCE CORP. OR ANY AFFILIATE THEREOF, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT SET FORTH
IN THE POOLING AND SERVICING AGREEMENT.

         This certifies that Cede & Co. is the registered owner of the undivided
Percentage Interest represented by the original principal amount set forth above
in the Certificates for Home Equity Loans, Series 2001-D, Class
A-[1a][1b][2][3][4][5] issued by Conseco Finance Home Equity Loan Trust 2001-D
(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

                                     A-1-1
<PAGE>

security deeds relating to such Loans and any and all rights to receive payments
due on the Loans after the applicable Cut-off Date). The Trust has been created
pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
October 1, 2001, among Conseco Finance Corp., as Originator and Servicer (the
"Originator"), Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp., as Seller (the "Seller")
and U.S. Bank Trust National Association, as Trustee of the Trust (the
"Trustee"). This 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
November, 2001, so long as the Agreement has not been terminated, by check (or,
if such Certificateholder holds Class A-[1a][1b][2][3][4][5] Certificates with

A-[1a][1b][2][3][4][5] Certificates and so desires, by wire transfer pursuant to
instructions delivered to the Trustee at least 10 days prior to such Payment
Date) to the registered Certificateholder at the address appearing on the
Certificate Register as of the Business Day immediately preceding such Payment
Date, in an amount equal to the Certificateholder's Percentage Interest of the
Class A-[1a][1b][2][3][4][5] Distribution Amount for such Payment Date.
Distributions of interest and principal on the Class A-[1a][1b][2][3][4][5]
Certificates will be made primarily from amounts available in respect of the
Loans. The final scheduled Payment Date of this Certificate is November 15, 2032
or the next succeeding Business Day if such November 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, [the related
Yield Maintenance Reserve Fund] and the Basis Risk Reserve Fund 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.

         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

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,

Certificates evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest will be issued to
the designated transferee or transferees.

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

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.

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

Agreement, subject to any liability under the Agreement. By acceptance of this
Certificate, the Certificateholder agrees to disclosure of his, her or its name

         [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.]

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

                  FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ORIGINATOR

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

         1. The Originator is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing
and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate
power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Transaction
Documents.

         2. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement have each been duly authorized
by all requisite corporate action and duly executed and delivered by the
Originator, and constitute the valid and binding obligations of the Originator,
enforceable in accordance with their terms. The Certificates have been duly
authorized by all requisite corporate action. When the Certificates have been
duly and validly executed by the Trustee in accordance with the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement, and when the Certificates other than the Class B-2 and
Class B-3I Certificates have been delivered and paid for pursuant to the
Underwriting Agreement, the Certificates will be validly issued and outstanding
and entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. The
participants to whose accounts The Depository Trust Company has credited
Certificates have acquired all the Trust's rights in such Certificates free of
any adverse claim, assuming that such participants purchased such Certificates
for value and without notice of any adverse claim.

         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 federal or state
securities laws in connection with the distribution 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. The Trust created by
the Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not, and will not as a result of the
offer and sale of the Certificates as contemplated in the Prospectus and the
Underwriting Agreement become, an "investment company" or "under the control of
an investment company" as such terms are defined in the Investment Company Act
of 1940.

         5. The statements in the Prospectus Supplement under the heading
"Description of the Certificates," insofar as such statements purport to
summarize certain terms of the Certificates and the Pooling and Servicing
Agreement, constitute a fair summary of such documents. The statements in the
Base Prospectus under the heading "Legal Aspects of the Loans; Repurchase
Obligations," and in the Prospectus under the headings "Federal Income Tax
Consequences" and "ERISA Considerations," to the extent that they constitute
matters of law or legal conclusions, are correct in all material respects.

         6. Neither the transfer of the Loans by the Originator to CFSC, nor the
assignment of the Originator's lien on the related real estate which secures the
Loans, nor the issuance or sale of the Certificates, nor the execution and
delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor

                                      F-1
<PAGE>

the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement, will conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or
acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term or provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Originator or of any indenture or
other agreement or instrument known to us to which the Originator is a party or
by which it is bound, or result in a violation of, or contravene the terms of
any statute, order or regulation, applicable to the Originator, of any court,
regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction
over it.

         7. To the best of our knowledge, there are no actions or proceedings or
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 Agreement, the Certificates, 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 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 respective obligations under, or the
validity or enforceability of, the Pooling and Servicing Agreement or the
Certificates, or (d) seeking adversely to affect the federal income tax
attributes of the Certificates described in the Prospectus Supplement under the
heading "Federal Income Tax Consequences."

         8. The transfer of the Loans to CFSC in accordance with Section 2.1 of
the Transfer Agreement would not be voidable 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 Conseco became a debtor under the
United States Bankruptcy Code.

         9. Pursuant to the Transfer Agreement, the Originator has transferred
to CFSC all of the Originator's right, title and interest in the Loans and has
delivered the Loan Files to the Trustee (as CFSC's designee) or its custodian.
No other action, other than the filing of a financing statement on Form UCC-1
with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, is necessary to perfect as
against third parties the assignment of the Loans by the Originator to CFSC. We
understand the parties intend the assignment to constitute a sale and not a
pledge and 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. In
the event such assignment were recharacterized as a pledge securing a loan from
CFSC to the Originator, it is our opinion that upon the filing of the financing
statement with the Secretary of State of Delaware and delivery of the Loan Files
to the Trustee (as CFSC's designee) or its custodian, CFSC 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
which 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.

         10. The Registration Statement has been duly authorized by all
requisite corporate action and executed and delivered by CFSC. The Registration
Statement has been declared effective under the Securities Act of 1933 (the
"1933 Act") and, to the best of our knowledge, no stop order suspending the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement has been issued under the 1933 Act
nor proceedings therefor initiated or threatened by the Commission.

                                      F-2
<PAGE>

         11. The Prospectus (other than the financial statements and other
financial, statistical and numerical information included therein or, in the
case of any Computational Materials (as that term is defined in the No-Action
Letter of May 20, 1994 issued by the Commission to Kidder, Peabody Acceptance
Corporation I, Kidder Peabody & Co. Incorporated and Kidder Structured Asset
Corporation) incorporated therein by reference, as to which information and
Computational Materials we express no opinion) as of its issue date, complied as
to form in all material respects with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the
rules of the Commission thereunder (the "Regulations").

         12. The conditions to the use by Conseco and CFSC of a registration
statement on Form S-3 under the 1933 Act, as set forth in the General
Instructions to Form S-3, have been satisfied with respect to the Registration
Statement and the Prospectus, other than any Computational Materials
incorporated therein by reference, as to which we express no opinion. To the
best of our knowledge, there are no contracts or documents (not including
Computational Materials) of Conseco or CFSC which are required to be filed as
exhibits to the Registration Statement pursuant to the 1933 Act or the
Regulations which have not been so filed or incorporated by reference.

         13. In reliance upon certain representations and warranties set forth
in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and assuming that the Originator and the
Trustee comply with the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement,
including the filing on behalf of the REMIC of a proper election to be taxed as
a REMIC, as of the date hereof the REMIC created pursuant to the Pooling and
Servicing Agreement will qualify as a REMIC. Further, the Certificates will
evidence ownership of the "regular interests" in the REMIC and the Class R-I,
Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates will evidence ownership of the single
Class of "residual interest" in the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and
Master REMIC, respectively. 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 Yield Maintenance Reserve Funds the Basis Risk
Reserve Fund 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.

         14. 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.]

                                      F-3
<PAGE>

         Our opinion is subject to the following additional qualifications and
exceptions:

         1. Our opinion in paragraph 3 and the enforceability of the security
interest referred to in paragraphs 11 and 12 above are subject to and may be
limited by (a) the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws affecting creditors' or secured
creditors' rights generally, (b) general equitable principles, including
(without limitation) concepts of materiality, reasonableness, good faith and
fair dealing, and other similar doctrines affecting the enforceability of
agreements generally (regardless of whether considered in a proceeding in equity
or at law) and (c) applicable statutes of limitation.

         2. With respect to our opinion in paragraph 11, we assume Conseco has
good title and is the sole owner and holder of each Loan free and clear of any
right of rescission, set-off, defense or counterclaim, charges or security
interests of any nature and has full right and authority, subject to no
agreement with any other party, to sell, pledge and assign the same. We express
no opinion as to (a) the continuation of a security interest in any Loan of
which a subsequent purchaser who gives new value takes possession in the
ordinary course of his business or (b) the continued perfection of a security
interest if CFSC does not file continuation statements as required by the
Transfer Agreement or the Trustee (as CFSC's designee) or its custodian does not
maintain possession of the Loan Files or (c) the continued perfection of any
security interest in proceeds of the Loans, except to the extent permitted by
Minn. Stat. ss. 336.9-306. 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.

         3. Minnesota Statutes ss. 290.371, Subd. 4, provides that any
corporation required to file a Notice of Business Activities Report does not
have a cause of action upon which it may bring suit under Minnesota law unless
the corporation has filed a Notice of Business Activities Report and provides
that the use of the courts of the State of Minnesota for all contracts executed
and all causes of action that arose before the end of any period for which a
corporation failed to file a required report is precluded. Insofar as our
opinion may relate to the valid, binding and enforceable character of any
agreement under Minnesota law or in a Minnesota court, we have assumed that any
party seeking to enforce such agreement has at all times been, and will continue
at all times to be, exempt from the requirement of filing a Notice of Business
Activities Report or, if not exempt, has duly filed, and will continue to duly
file, all Notice of Business Activities Reports.

         4. We express no opinion with respect to the validity and
enforceability of (a) any remedies insofar as any party exercising such remedies
may take any action which is arbitrary or capricious, unreasonable, not in good
faith, or not commercially reasonable; (b) provisions to the effect that failure
to exercise or delay in exercising rights or remedies will not operate as a
waiver of any such right or remedy or which purport to render ineffective any

         Re: Certificates for Home Equity Loans, Series 2001-D,
             Class [B-2/B-3I/P/R]

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

         Representations and Warranties. The Purchaser makes the following
representations and warranties in order to permit the Trustee, Conseco Finance
Securitizations Corp., and ____________________________ to determine its
suitability as a purchaser of Certificates and to determine that the exemption
from registration relied upon by Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp. under
Section 4(2) of the 1933 Act is available to it.

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

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

         3. The Purchaser is a sophisticated institutional investor and has
knowledge and experience in financial and business matters and is capable of
evaluating the merits and risks of its investment in the Certificates and is
able to bear the economic risk of such investment. The Purchaser has reviewed
the Prospectus Supplement dated October 17, 2001, to the Prospectus dated
October 17, 2001 (the "Prospectus") with respect to the Certificates, and has
been given

                                      K-1
<PAGE>

such information concerning the Certificates, the underlying home equity and
home improvement loans and Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp. as it has
requested.

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

         5. The Purchaser either (check one box):

                  [_]      is not, and is not acting on behalf of or with assets
                           of, an employee benefit plan that is subject to the
                           Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
                           amended or that is described in Section 4975(e)(1) of
                           the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or

                  [_]      has provided the Trustee and Servicer with the
                           opinion of counsel described in Section 9.02(b)(2) of
                           the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, or

                  [_]      acknowledges that it is deemed to make the
                           representation set forth in Section 9.02(b)(2) of the
                           Pooling and Servicing Agreement.

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

         7. The Purchaser, as holder of the Class [B-2/R] Certificate,
acknowledges (i) it may incur tax liabilities in excess of any cash flows
generated by the interest and (ii) it intends to pay the taxes associated with
holding the Class [B-2/R] Certificate as they become due.

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

         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 2001-D (the
"Trust"), which includes among its assets a pool of closed-end home equity and
home improvement loans (the "Loans") (including, without limitation, all
mortgages, deeds of trust and security deeds relating to such Loans and any and
all rights to receive payments due on the Loans after the applicable Cut-off
Date). The Trust has been created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement
(the "Agreement"), dated as of October 1, 2001, 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 R Certificate is described in the Agreement and is
issued pursuant and subject to the Agreement. The Class R Certificate represents
collectively the Class R-III Interest, the Class R-II Interest and the R-I
Interest, which represent "residual interests" in the Master REMIC, the
Intermediate REMIC and the Subsidiary REMIC, respectively. By acceptance of this
Class R 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 November
15, 2001, so long as the Agreement has not been terminated, by check to the
registered Class R Certificateholder at the address appearing on the Certificate

amount equal to the Class R-III Distribution Amount. The final scheduled Payment
Date of this Class R Certificate is November 15, 2032 or the next succeeding
Business Day if such November 15 is not a Business Day.

         The Class R 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 R Certificateholder as provided
in the Agreement for payment hereunder and that the Trustee in its individual
capacity is not personally liable to the Class R 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 R Certificateholder agrees to
disclosure of his, her or its name and address to other Certificateholders under
the conditions specified in the Agreement.

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

         This Class R 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 R 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 R Certificate is registrable in the
Certificate Register of the Certificate Registrar upon surrender of this Class R
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 R Certificate evidencing the
same Class R Certificate will be issued to the designated transferee or
transferees.
