         hereunder shall constitute a loan and not a purchase and sale of such
         Receivables,] it is the intention of the parties hereto that this
         Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law,
         and that each Transferor shall be deemed to have granted and does

                  the Addition Date, as the case may be, and the information
                  contained therein with respect to the identity of such
                  Accounts and the Receivables existing thereunder is, or will
                  be on the Required Delivery Date in the case of Additional
                  Accounts, true and correct in all

                  material respects as of the Initial Cut-Off Date or such
                  Additional Cut-Off Date, as the case may be;

                           (iii) on the date each Receivable is conveyed to the
                  Trust by such Transferor, such Receivable has been conveyed to
                  the Trust free and clear of any Lien;

                           (iv) all authorizations, consents, orders or
                  approvals of or registrations or declarations with any
                  Governmental Authority required to be obtained, effected or
                  given by such Transferor in connection with the conveyance by
                  such Transferor of Receivables to the Trust have been duly
                  obtained, effected or given and are in full force and effect;

                           (v) either this Agreement or, in the case of
                  Additional Accounts, the related Assignment constitutes a
                  valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right,
                  title and interest of such Transferor in the Receivables and
                  Participation Interests conveyed to the Trust by such
                  Transferor and the proceeds thereof and Recoveries identified
                  as relating to the Receivables conveyed to the Trust by such
                  Transferor which have become Defaulted Receivables or, if this
                  Agreement or, in the case of Additional Accounts, the related
                  Assignment does not constitute a sale of such property, it
                  constitutes a grant of a first priority perfected "security
                  interest" (as defined in the UCC) in such property to the
                  Trust, which, in the case of existing Receivables and
                  Participation Interests and the proceeds thereof and said
                  Recoveries, is enforceable upon execution and delivery of this
                  Agreement, or, with respect to then existing Receivables in
                  Additional Accounts, as of the applicable Addition Date, and
                  which will be enforceable with respect to such Receivables
                  hereafter and thereafter created and the proceeds thereof upon
                  such creation. Upon the filing of the financing statements
                  and, in the case of Receivables hereafter created and the
                  proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof, the Trust shall
                  have a first priority perfected security or ownership interest
                  in such property and proceeds;

                           (vi) on the Initial Cut-Off Date, each Initial
                  Account specified in Schedule 1 with respect to such
                  Transferor is an Eligible Account and, on the applicable
                  Additional Cut-Off Date, each related Additional Account
                  specified in Schedule 1 with respect to such Transferor is an
                  Eligible Account;

                           (vii) on the Initial Cut-Off Date, each Receivable
                  then existing and conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor is
                  an Eligible Receivable, and, on the applicable Additional
                  Cut-Off Date, each Receivable contained in the related
                  Additional Accounts and conveyed to the Trust by such
                  Transferor is an Eligible Receivable;

                           (viii) as of the date of the creation of any new
                  Receivable transferred to the Trust by such Transferor, such
                  Receivable is an Eligible Receivable; and

                           (ix) no selection procedures believed by such
                  Transferor to be materially adverse to the interests of the
                  Noteholders have been used in selecting such Accounts.

                  (b) Notice of Breach. The representations and warranties set
         forth in Section 2.03, this Section 2.04 and subsection 2.09(f) shall
         survive the transfers and assignments of the Receivables to the Trust,
         the pledge of the Receivables to the Indenture Trustee pursuant to the
         Indenture, and the issuance of the Notes. Upon discovery by any
         Transferor, the Servicer or the Owner Trustee of a breach of any of the
         representations and warranties set forth in Section 2.03, this Section
         2.04 or subsection 2.09(f), the party discovering such breach shall
         give notice to the other parties and to the Indenture Trustee within
         three Business Days following such discovery, provided that the failure
         to give notice within three Business Days does not preclude subsequent
         notice.

                  Section 2.05. Reassignment of Ineligible Receivables.

                  (a) Reassignment of Receivables. In the event (i) any
         representation or warranty contained in subsection 2.04(a)(ii), (iii),
         (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) or (ix) is not true and correct in any
         material respect as of the date specified therein with respect to any
         Receivable or the related Account and such breach has a material
         adverse effect on any Receivable (which determination shall be made
         without regard to whether funds are then available pursuant to any
         Series Enhancement) unless cured within 60 days (or such longer period,
         not in excess of 120 days, as may be agreed to by the Indenture Trustee
         and the Servicer) after the earlier to occur of the discovery thereof
         by the Transferor which conveyed such Receivables to the Trust or
         receipt by the Transferor of written notice thereof given by the Owner
         Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or the Servicer, or (ii) it is so
         provided in subsection 2.07(a) with respect to any Receivables conveyed
         to the Trust by such Transferor, then such Transferor shall accept
         reassignment of all Receivables in the related Account ("Ineligible
         Receivables") on the terms and conditions set forth in paragraph (b)
         below.

                  (b) Price of Reassignment. The Servicer shall deduct the
         portion of such Ineligible Receivables reassigned to each Transferor
         which are Principal Receivables from the aggregate amount of the
         Principal Receivables used to calculate the Transferor Amount. In the
         event that, following the exclusion of such Principal Receivables from
         the calculation of the Transferor Amount, the Transferor Amount would
         be less than the Required Transferor Amount, not later than 1:00 P.M.,
         New York City time, on the first Payment Date following the Monthly
         Period in which such reassignment obligation arises, the applicable
         Transferor shall make a deposit into the Special Funding Account in
         immediately available funds in an amount equal to the amount by which
         the Transferor Amount would be below the Required Transferor Amount (up
         to the amount of such Principal Receivables).

                  Upon reassignment of any Ineligible Receivable, the Trust
shall automatically and without further action be deemed to transfer, assign,
set over and otherwise convey to the applicable Transferor or its designee,
without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title and interest
of the Trust in and to such Ineligible Receivable, all Recoveries related
thereto, all monies and amounts due or to become due and all proceeds thereof
and such reassigned Ineligible Receivable shall be treated by the Owner Trustee
and the Trust as collected in full as of the date on which it was transferred.
The obligation of each Transferor to accept reassignment of any Ineligible
Receivables conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor, and to make the deposits,
if any, required to be made to the Special Funding Account as provided in this
Section, shall constitute the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to
such obligation available to the Trust, the Noteholders (or the Indenture
Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders) or any Series Enhancer. Notwithstanding
any other provision of this subsection 2.05(b), a reassignment of an Ineligible
Receivable in excess of the amount that would cause the Transferor Amount to be
less than the Required Transferor Amount shall not occur if the applicable
Transferor fails to make any deposit required by this subsection 2.05(b) with
respect to such Ineligible Receivable. The Trust shall execute such documents
and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall
reasonably be requested and provided by the applicable Transferor to effect the
conveyance of such Ineligible Receivables pursuant to this subsection 2.05(b),
but only upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate from such Transferor that
states that all conditions set forth in this Section 2.05 have been satisfied.

                  Section 2.06. Reassignment of Trust Portfolio. In the event
any representation or warranty of a Transferor set forth in subsection 2.03(a)
or (c) or subsection 2.04(a)(i) or (v) is not true and correct in any material
respect and such breach has a material adverse effect on the Receivables or
Participation Interests conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor or the
availability of the proceeds thereof to the Trust (which determination shall be
made without regard to whether funds are then available pursuant to any Series
Enhancement), then either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of Notes
evidencing not less than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
outstanding Notes, by notice then given to such Transferor and the Servicer (and
to the Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders), may direct such
Transferor to accept a reassignment of the Receivables and any Participation
Interests conveyed to the Trust by such Transferor if such breach and any
material adverse effect caused by such breach is not cured within 60 days of
such notice (or within such longer period, not in excess of 120 days, as may be
specified in such notice), and upon those conditions such Transferor shall be
obligated to accept such reassignment on the terms set forth below; provided,
however, that such Receivables and Participation Interests will not be
reassigned to such Transferor if, on any day prior to the end of such 60-day or
longer period (i) the relevant representation and warranty shall be true and
correct in all material respects as if made on such day and (ii) such Transferor
shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee a
certificate of an authorized officer describing the nature of such breach and
the manner in which the relevant representation and warranty has become true and
correct.

                  The applicable Transferor shall deposit in the Collection
Account in immediately available funds not later than 1:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the first Payment Date following the Monthly Period in which such
reassignment obligation arises, in payment for such reassignment, an amount
equal to the sum of the amounts specified therefor with respect to each
outstanding Series in the related Indenture Supplement. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary in this Agreement, such amounts shall be distributed to the
Noteholders on such Payment Date in accordance with the terms of each Indenture
Supplement. If the Indenture Trustee or the Noteholders give notice directing
the applicable Transferor to accept a reassignment of the Receivables and
Participation Interests as provided above, the obligation of such Transferor to
accept such reassignment pursuant to this Section 2.06 and to make the deposit
required to be made to the Collection Account as provided in this paragraph
shall constitute the sole remedy respecting an event of the type specified in
the first sentence of this Section 2.06 available to the Noteholders (or the
Indenture Trustee on behalf of the Noteholders) or any Series Enhancer. Upon
reassignment of the Receivables and Participation Interests on such Payment
Date, the Trust shall automatically and without further action be deemed to
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the applicable Transferor,
without recourse, representation or warranty, all of the right, title and
interest of the Trust in and to the Receivables and Participation Interests, all
Recoveries allocable to the Trust, all monies and amounts due or to become due
with respect thereto and all proceeds thereof. The Trust shall execute such
documents and instruments of transfer or assignment and take such other actions
as shall reasonably be requested by the applicable Transferor to effect the
conveyance of such property pursuant to this subsection.

                  Section 2.07. Covenants of each Transferor. Each Transferor
hereby severally covenants with the Trust that:

                  (a) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes.
         Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account,
         such Transferor will take no action to cause any Receivable conveyed by
         it to the Trust to be evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the
         UCC) and if any such Receivable is so evidenced it shall be deemed to
         be an Ineligible Receivable in accordance with Section 2.05(a) and
         shall be reassigned to such Transferor in accordance with Section
         2.05(b).

                                       20

                  (b) Security Interests. Except for the conveyances hereunder,
         such Transferor will not sell, pledge, assign or transfer to any other
         Person, or grant, create, incur, assume or suffer to exist any Lien on,
         any Receivable or Participation Interest conveyed by it to the Trust,
         whether now existing or hereafter created, or any interest therein, and
         such Transferor shall defend the right, title and interest of the Trust
         and the Indenture Trustee in, to and under the Receivables and any
         Participation Interest, whether now existing or hereafter created,
         against all claims of third parties claiming through or under such
         Transferor.

                  (c) Transferor Amount. Except for (i) the conveyances
         hereunder, in connection with any transaction permitted by subsection
         4.02(a)(i) and as provided in subsection 2.09(g) of this Agreement or
         Section 2.12 of the Indenture or (ii) conveyances with respect to which
         the Rating Agency Condition shall have been satisfied and a Tax Opinion
         shall have been delivered, such Transferor agrees not to transfer,
         sell, assign, exchange or otherwise convey or pledge, hypothecate or
         otherwise grant a security interest in the Transferor Amount, the
         Transferor Certificate or any Supplemental Certificate or in any
         uncertificated interest in the Transferor's interest in the Trust and
         any such attempted transfer, assignment, exchange, conveyance, pledge,
         hypothecation, grant or sale shall be void.

                  (d) Delivery of Collections or Recoveries. In the event that
         such Transferor receives Collections or Recoveries, such Transferor
         agrees to pay the Servicer all such Collections and Recoveries as soon
         as practicable after receipt thereof.

                  (e) Notice of Liens. Such Transferor shall notify the Owner
         Trustee, the Indenture Trustee and each Series Enhancer promptly after
         becoming aware of any Lien on any Receivable or Participation Interest
         conveyed by it to the Trust other than the conveyances hereunder and
         any Receivables Purchase Agreement to which it is a party and the
         Indenture.

                  (f) Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation. Such
         Transferor will not amend in any material respect its certificate of
         incorporation without providing the Rating Agency with notice no later
         than the fifth Business Day prior to such amendment (unless the right
         to such notice is waived by the Rating Agency) and satisfying the
         Rating Agency Condition.

                  (g) Other Indebtedness. Such Transferor if it is an entity
         subject to the Bankruptcy Code shall not incur any additional debt,
         unless the Rating Agency is provided with notice no later than the
         fifth Business Day prior to the incurrence of such additional debt
         (unless the right to such notice is waived by the Rating Agency) and
         the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to the incurrence
         of such debt.

                  (h) Separate Corporate Existence. If the Transferor is an
         entity which is eligible to be a debtor in a case under the Bankruptcy
         Code, such Transferor shall:

                           (i) Maintain in full effect its existence, rights and
                  franchises as a corporation under the laws of the state of its
                  organization or incorporation and will obtain and preserve its
                  qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which
                  such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the
                  validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the Trust
                  Agreement and any Receivables Purchase Agreement to which it
                  is a party and each other instrument or agreement necessary or
                  appropriate to proper administration hereof and to permit and
                  effectuate the transactions contemplated hereby.

                           (ii) Except as provided herein, maintain its own
                  deposit account or accounts, separate from those of any
                  Affiliate of such Transferor, with commercial banking
                  institutions. The funds of such Transferor will not be
                  diverted to any other Person or used for other than the
                  corporate

                                       21
<PAGE>

                  use of such Transferor, and, except as may be expressly
                  permitted by this Agreement or any Receivables Purchase
                  Agreement to which it is a party, the funds of such Transferor
                  shall not be commingled with those of any Affiliate of such
                  Transferor or any other Person.

                           (iii) Ensure that, to the extent that it shares the
                  same officers or other employees as any of its partners,
                  members, managers, stockholders or Affiliates, the salaries of
                  and the expenses related to providing benefits to such
                  officers and other employees shall be fairly allocated among
                  such entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share
                  of the salary and benefit costs associated with all such
                  common officers and employees.

                           (iv) Ensure that, to the extent that it jointly
                  contracts with any of its partners, members, managers,
                  stockholders or Affiliates to do business with vendors or
                  service providers or to share overhead expenses, the costs
                  incurred in so doing shall be allocated fairly among such
                  entities, and each such entity shall bear its fair share of
                  such costs. To the extent that such Transferor contracts or
                  does business with vendors or service providers where the
                  goods and services provided are partially for the benefit of
                  any other Person, the costs incurred in so doing shall be
                  fairly allocated to or among such entities for whose benefit
                  the goods and services are provided, and each such entity
                  shall bear its fair share of such costs. All material
                  transactions between such Transferor and any of its partners,
                  members, managers, stockholders or Affiliates shall be only on
                  an arm's-length basis and shall receive the approval of such
                  Transferor's board of directors, partners, members, managers
                  or other governing body including at least one Independent
                  Director (defined below).

                           (v) Maintain a principal executive and administrative
                  office through which its business is conducted and a telephone
                  number separate from those of its members, stockholders and
                  Affiliates. To the extent that such Transferor and any of its
                  members, stockholders or Affiliates have offices in contiguous
                  space, there shall be fair and appropriate allocation of
                  overhead costs (including rent) among them, and each such
                  entity shall bear its fair share of such expenses.

                           (vi) Conduct its affairs strictly in accordance with
                  its articles of incorporation or other certificate of
                  formation, as the case may be, and observe all necessary,
                  appropriate and customary corporate formalities (or such
                  formalities appropriate to the entity), including, but not
                  limited to, holding all regular and special stockholders' and
                  directors' or partners', members' or managers', as the case
                  may be, meetings appropriate to authorize all corporate or
                  entity action, keeping separate and accurate minutes of such
                  meetings, passing all resolutions or consents necessary to
                  authorize actions taken or to be taken, and maintaining
                  accurate and separate books, records and accounts, including,
                  but not limited to, payroll and intercompany transaction
                  accounts. Regular stockholders' or other owners' and
                  directors', partners', members' or managers', as the case may
                  be, meetings shall be held at least annually.

                           (vii) Ensure that its board of directors or other

                  business forms and describe itself as a separate legal entity.

                           (xi) Ensure that no Affiliate of such Transferor
                  shall advance funds to such Transferor, and no Affiliate of
                  such Transferor will otherwise guaranty debts of such

                  out as being available for the payment of any obligation of
                  any Affiliate of such Transferor or of any other Person nor

                  such Transferor shall comply with generally accepted
                  accounting principles and shall be issued separately from, but
                  may be consolidated with, any reports prepared for any of its
                  Affiliates; provided, that any such consolidated reports shall
                  indicate that the assets of the Transferor are not available
                  to the creditors of any Affiliate of the Transferor.

                           (xv) Ensure that at all times it is adequately
                  capitalized to engage in the transactions contemplated in its

                  (a) Periodic Rate Finance Charges. (i) Except (A) as otherwise
         required by any Requirements of Law or (B) as is deemed by the
         applicable Account Owner to be necessary in order for it to maintain
         its credit card business or a program operated by such credit card
         business on a competitive basis based on a good faith assessment by it
         of the nature of the competition with respect to the credit business or
         such program, it shall not at any time take any action which would have
         the effect of reducing the Series Portfolio Yield to a level that could
         be reasonably expected to result in an Adverse Effect with respect to
         any Series based on the insufficiency of the Series Portfolio Yield or
         any similar test.

                  (b) Credit Card Agreements and Guidelines. Subject to
         compliance with all Requirements of Law and paragraph (a) above, the
         Account Owner may change the terms and provisions of the applicable
         Credit Card Agreements or the applicable Credit Card Guidelines in any
         respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of
         charge-offs and the finance charges to be assessed thereon).
         Notwithstanding the above, unless required by Requirements of Law or as
         permitted by paragraph (a) above, no Account Owner will take any action
         unless (i) at the time of such action the Account Owner reasonably
         believes that such action will not cause an Amortization Event,
         Reinvestment Event or Event of Default to occur, and (ii) such change
         is made applicable to the comparable segment of the credit card
         accounts owned by such Account Owner which have characteristics the
         same as, or substantially similar to, the Accounts that are the subject
         of such change, except as otherwise restricted by an endorsement,
         sponsorship, or other agreement between the Account Owner and an
         unrelated third party or by the terms of the Credit Card Agreements.

                  Section 2.09. Addition of Accounts.

                  (a) Required Account Additions.

                           (i) Required Additional Accounts. If, on any
                  Determination Date, as of the close of business on the last
                  Business Day of the preceding Monthly Period, either (x) the
                  Transferors' Interest is less than the required Transferor
                  Interest or (y) the aggregate amount of the Principal
                  Receivables is less than the Required Minimum Principal
                  Balance (as adjusted for any Series having a Paired Series as
                  described in the Indenture Supplement for such Series) on such
                  date, the Transferors shall on or prior to the close of
                  business on the 10th Business Day following such Determination
                  Date (the "Required Designation Date"), unless the aggregate
                  amount of the Principal Receivables exceeds the Required
                  Minimum Principal Balance as of the close of business on any
                  day after the last Business Day of such calendar month and
                  prior to the Required Designation Date, effect the addition of
                  Eligible Accounts to be included as Accounts as of the
                  Required Designation Date or any earlier date in a sufficient
                  amount (or such lesser amount as shall represent all Eligible
                  Accounts constituting credit accounts then owned by one or
                  more Transferors or available to one or more Transferors under
                  a Receivables Purchase Agreement) such that, after giving
                  effect to such addition and the addition by each other
                  Transferor, the aggregate amount of the Principal Receivables
                  is at least equal to the Required Minimum Principal Balance on
                  such date.

                           (ii) Optional Participation Interests. In lieu of, or
                  in addition to, causing the designation of Additional Accounts
                  pursuant to clause (i) above, the Transferors may (but shall
                  not be required), subject to satisfaction of the conditions
                  specified in paragraph (c) below, convey to the Trust
                  participations (including 100% participations) representing
                  undivided interests in a pool of assets primarily consisting
                  of credit card receivables and any interests in any of the
                  foregoing, including securities representing or backed by such
                  receivables and collections, together with all earnings,
                  revenue, dividends, distributions, income, issues and profits
                  thereon ("Participation Interests"). The addition of
                  Participation Interests to the Trust pursuant to this

                  Addition Date and entered into pursuant to subsection 9.01(a).

                           (iii) Any Additional Accounts or Participation
                  Interests designated to be included as Trust Assets pursuant
                  to clauses (i) or (ii) above may only be so included if the
                  applicable conditions specified in paragraph (c) below have
                  been satisfied.

                  (b) Permitted Additions. Each Transferor may from time to
         time, in its sole discretion, subject to the conditions specified in
         paragraph (c) below, voluntarily cause the designation of additional

         to any Additional Accounts, except Automatic Additional Accounts
         described in paragraph (d) below, the Trust shall acquire the

         shall be deemed to be Accounts for purposes of this Agreement) or shall
         acquire such Participation Interests existing as of the close of
         business on the applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, subject to the

                  requirement is otherwise waived) (and such notice provided to
                  the Rating Agencies shall include such portfolio information
                  as the Rating Agencies may reasonably request) that the
                  Additional Accounts or Participation Interests will be

                           (v) as of each of the Additional Cut-Off Date and the

                  Owner of any of the Additional Accounts, or such Transferor

                  Interests will not result in an Adverse Effect and, in the
                  case of Additions, each Transferor transferring Receivables in
                  the Additional Accounts on such Addition Date shall have
                  delivered to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate,
                  dated the Addition Date, stating that such Transferor
                  reasonably believes that the addition to the Trust will not
                  have an Adverse Effect;

                           (ix) solely with respect to Additional Accounts
                  designated pursuant to subsection 2.09(b) and Participation
                  Interests added under subsection 2.09(a) or subsection
                  2.09(b), the Transferors shall have delivered to the Indenture
                  Trustee and each Rating Agency an Opinion of Counsel, dated
                  the Addition Date, in accordance with subsection 9.02(d)(ii)
                  or (iv), as applicable; and

                           (x) solely with respect to the addition of accounts
                  that are Special Payment Accounts, immediately following the
                  addition of the Additional Accounts, the aggregate amount of
                  Principal Receivables existing in Special Payment Accounts
                  which have been designated to the Trust shall not exceed 30%
                  of the total amount of Principal Receivables then in the
                  Trust.

                  (d) Automatic Account Additions. (i) Each Transferor may from
         time to time, at its sole discretion, subject to the conditions
         specified in paragraph (e) below, voluntarily designate additional
         Eligible Accounts to be included as Automatic Additional Accounts. For
         purposes of this paragraph, Eligible Accounts shall be deemed to
         include only credit card accounts originated under the same Merchant
         Agreement or Conseco Developed Program as Accounts which were included
         as Initial Accounts or were previously added as Additional Accounts
         after satisfying the Rating Agency Condition.

                           (ii) The number of Automatic Additional Accounts
                  designated with respect to any of the three consecutive
                  Monthly Periods commencing in January, April, July and October
                  of each calendar year shall not exceed 15% of the number of
                  Accounts as of the first day of the calendar year during which
                  such Monthly Periods commence (or the Initial Cut-Off Date, in
                  the case of 2001) and the number of Automatic Additional
                  Accounts designated during any such calendar year shall not
                  exceed 20% of the number of Accounts as of the first day of
                  such calendar year (or the Initial Cut-Off Date, in the case
                  of 2001); provided, however, Automatic Additional Accounts may
                  be designated in excess of such 15% and 20% limitations if the
                  Rating Agency Condition is satisfied with respect to such
                  designation.

                  (e) Conditions to Addition of Automatic Additional Accounts.
         The Transferors shall give the Rating Agencies prior notice of any
         Addition of Automatic Additional Accounts, and on the Addition Date
         with respect to any Automatic Additional Accounts, the Trust shall
         acquire the Receivables in such Automatic Additional Accounts (and such
         Automatic Additional Accounts shall be deemed to be Accounts for
         purposes of this Agreement) as of the close of business on the
         applicable Addition Date, subject to the satisfaction of the following
         conditions:

                           (i) the Additional Accounts shall all be Eligible
                  Accounts;

                           (ii) on or before the Required Delivery Date, the
                  applicable Transferor shall have delivered to the Indenture
                  Trustee copies of UCC-1 financing statements covering such
                  Additional Accounts, if necessary to perfect the Trust's
                  interest and the Indenture Trustee's interest in the
                  Receivables arising therein and a schedule of such Additional
                  Accounts;

                                       27

                           (iii) to the extent required by Section 8.04 of the
                  Indenture, the applicable Transferor shall have deposited in
                  the Collection Account all Collections with respect to such
                  Additional Accounts since the Additional Cut-Off Date;

                           (iv) as of each of the Additional Cut-Off Date and
                  the Addition Date, no Insolvency Event with respect to any
                  Account Owner of any of the Additional Accounts or any
                  Merchant under any Merchant Agreement related to any of the
                  Additional Accounts or such Transferor shall have occurred nor
                  shall the transfer to the Trust of the Receivables arising in
                  the Additional Accounts have been made in contemplation of the
                  occurrence thereof;

                           (v) such Transferor shall have delivered to the
                  Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate, dated the Addition
                  Date, confirming, to the extent applicable, the items set
                  forth in clauses (ii) through (iv) above;

                           (vi) the addition of the Receivables arising in the
                  Additional Accounts to the Trust will not result in an Adverse
                  Effect and each Transferor transferring Receivables in the
                  Additional Accounts on such Addition Date shall have delivered
                  to the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate, dated the
                  Addition Date, stating that such Transferor reasonably
                  believes that the addition to the Trust will not have an
                  Adverse Effect;

                           (vii) with respect to each Payment Date following a
                  Monthly Period ending in March, June, September, and December,
                  the applicable Transferor shall deliver to the Indenture
                  Trustee and each Rating Agency, an Opinion of Counsel
                  substantially in the form of Exhibit D-2 with respect to the
                  Additional Accounts, if any, included as Accounts during the
                  three consecutive Monthly Periods ending prior to such Payment
                  Date. The opinion delivery requirement set forth in the
                  immediately preceding sentence may be modified provided that
                  the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied;

                           (viii) No accounts may be added to the Trust under
                  the Automatic Additional Account provisions unless such
                  accounts were originated under an Approved Program. For
                  purposes of this subsection, an Approved Program is a private
                  label credit card program under a Merchant Agreement or a
                  Conseco Developed Program and, with respect to such program,
                  accounts originated under such program were either included in
                  the Initial Accounts or accounts under such program have prior
                  to the Automatic Account Addition been added as Additional
                  Accounts under subsection 2.09(c) and subsection 2.09(d); and

                           (ix) solely with respect to the addition of accounts
                  that are Special Payment Accounts, immediately following the
                  addition of the Additional Accounts, the aggregate amount of
                  Principal Receivables existing in Special Payment Accounts
                  which have been designated to the Trust shall not exceed 30%
                  of the total amount of Principal Receivables then in the
                  Trust.

                  (f) Representations and Warranties. Each Transferor conveying
         Additional Accounts or Participation Interests hereby represents and
         warrants to the Owner Trustee and the Trust as of the related Addition
         Date as to the matters set forth in clauses (v) and (viii) of
         subsection 2.09(c) above or, if applicable, clauses (iv) and (vi) of
         subsection 2.09(e) above and that, in the case of Additional Accounts,
         the list delivered pursuant to subsection 2.09(h) is, as of the
         applicable Additional Cut-Off Date, true and complete in all material
         respects.

                  (g) Additional Transferors. Conseco Bank may designate another
         entity or entities to be included as Transferors ("Additional
         Transferors") under this Agreement in an amendment hereto pursuant to
         subsection 9.01(a) and, in connection with such designation, the
         Transferors shall (i) if the

                                       28
<PAGE>

         Transferors' Interest is then in certificated form, surrender the
         Transferor Certificates to the Owner Trustee in exchange for a newly
         issued Transferor Certificate modified to reflect such Additional
         Transferor's interest or (ii) if the Transferor's Interest is
         uncertificated, direct the Owner Trustee to make the appropriate
         entries in its books and records to reflect such Additional
         Transferor's interest in the Transferor Interest.

                  (h) Delivery of Documents. In the case of the designation of
         Additional Accounts, the Transferor designating such Accounts shall
         deliver to the Indenture Trustee (i) the computer file or microfiche
         list required to be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 with respect to
         such Additional Accounts on the date such file or list is required to
         be delivered pursuant to Section 2.01 (the "Document Delivery Date")
         and (ii) a duly executed, written Assignment (including an acceptance
         by the Trust), substantially in the form of Exhibit A (the
         "Assignment"), on the Document Delivery Date.

                  Section 2.10. Removal of Accounts and Participation Interests.
(a) On any day of any Monthly Period each Transferor shall have the right to
require the reassignment to it or its designee of all the Trust's right, title
and interest in, to and under the Receivables then existing and thereafter
created, all Recoveries related thereto received after the Removal Date, all
monies due or to become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect
thereto and all proceeds thereof in or with respect to such Accounts (the
"Removed Accounts") or Participation Interests conveyed to the Trust by such
Transferor (the "Removed Participation Interests") (unless otherwise set forth
in the applicable Participation Interest Supplement or Indenture Supplement) and
designated for removal by the Transferor, upon satisfaction of the conditions in
clauses (i) through (v) below; provided, however, that the conditions listed in
clauses (iv) and (v) below need not be satisfied if the Removed Accounts (x) are
Zero Balance Accounts or (y) relate to a terminated Merchant Agreement and the
related Merchant has elected to purchase the Receivables in such Removed
Accounts:

                           (i) on or before the fifth Business Day immediately
                  preceding the Removal Date, such Transferor shall have given
                  written notice to the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer, the
                  Rating Agency and each Series Enhancer (unless such notice
                  requirement is otherwise waived) of such removal and
                  specifying the date for removal of the Removed Accounts and
                  removed Participation Interests (the "Removal Date");

                           (ii) on or prior to the date that is five Business
                  Days on or before the Removal Date, such Transferor shall
                  amend Schedule 1 by delivering to the Indenture Trustee a
                  computer file or microfiche list containing a true and
                  complete list of the Removed Accounts specifying for each such
                  Account, as of the date notice of the Removal Date is given,
                  its account number, the aggregate amount outstanding in such
                  Account and the aggregate amount of Principal Receivables
                  outstanding in such Account;

                           (iii) such Transferor shall have represented and
                  warranted as of the Removal Date that the list of Removed
                  Accounts delivered pursuant to paragraph (ii) above, as of the
                  Removal Date, is true and complete in all material respects;

                           (iv) the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
                  satisfied with respect to the removal of the Removed Accounts
                  and removed Participation Interests; and

                           (v) such Transferor shall have delivered to the Owner
                  Trustee and the Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate,
                  dated the Removal Date, to the effect that such Transferor
                  reasonably believes that (A) such removal will not have an
                  Adverse Effect and (B) no selection procedures believed by
                  such Transferor to be materially adverse to the interests of
                  the Noteholders have been used in selecting the Removed
                  Accounts.

                                       29
<PAGE>

                  Upon satisfaction of the above conditions, the Trust shall
execute and deliver to such Transferor a written reassignment in substantially
the form of Exhibit B (the "Reassignment") and shall, without further action, be
deemed to transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to such Transferor or
its designee, effective as of the Removal Date, without recourse, representation
or warranty, all the right, title and interest of the Trust in and to the
Receivables arising in the Removed Accounts and Removed Participation Interests,
all Recoveries related thereto, all monies due and to become due and all amounts
received or receivable with respect thereto after the Removal Date and all
proceeds thereof and any Insurance Proceeds relating thereto. The Owner Trustee
may conclusively rely on the Officer's Certificate delivered pursuant to this
Section 2.10 and shall have no duty to make inquiries with regard to the matters
set forth therein and shall incur no liability in so relying.

                  In addition to the foregoing, on the date when any Receivable
in an Account becomes a Defaulted Receivable, the Trust shall automatically and
without further action or consideration be deemed to transfer, set over and
otherwise convey to the Transferor with respect to such Account, without
recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust
in and to the Defaulted Receivables in such Account, all monies and amounts due
or to become due with respect thereto, all proceeds thereof and any Insurance
Proceeds relating thereto; provided, that Recoveries of such Account shall be
applied as provided herein.

                           (b) Anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding,
                  the Transferor shall be entitled to purchase all Receivables
                  in Accounts designated for purchase or re-purchase by a
                  Merchant pursuant to the termination of a Merchant Agreement
                  to which such Merchant is a party. Any repurchase of
                  Receivables pursuant to this subsection 2.10(b) shall be
                  effected [in the manner, and at a price determined in
                  accordance with subsection 2.05(b) as if the Receivables being
                  repurchased were Ineligible Receivables]; provided, however,
                  that the purchase price paid by the Merchant for the
                  Receivables shall be treated as Collections of Principal
                  Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables and be applied as
                  follows:

                                    If, following the removal of the Receivables
                           from the Trust as a result of a repurchase by a
                           Merchant and the exclusion of the Principal
                           Receivables purchased from the calculation of the
                           Transferor Amount, the Transferor Amount will be less
                           than the Required Transferor Amount, then the
                           proceeds of the sale of the Receivables shall be
                           deposited into the Special Funding Account in an
                           amount equal to the amount by which the Transferor
                           Amount would be below the Required Transferor Amount
                           (up to the amount of the sale proceeds).

                                    If, following the removal, the Transferor
                           Amount will not be less than the Required Transferor
                           Amount, then the proceeds of the sale of the
                           Receivables shall be deposited into the Collection
                           Account and treated as Principal Receivables and
                           Finance Charge Receivables as determined by the
                           Servicer. The Finance Charge Receivables and
                           Principal Receivables shall be treated as amounts
                           collected in the Monthly Period in which the amounts
                           are received by the Transferor. Amounts deposited in
                           the Collection Account in connection therewith shall
                           be applied in accordance with Article VIII of the
                           Indenture and the terms of each Indenture Supplement.

                  Section 2.11. Account Allocations. In the event that any
Transferor is unable for any reason to transfer Receivables to the Trust in
accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, including by reason of the
application of the provisions of Section 6.01 or any order of any Governmental
Authority (a "Transfer Restriction Event"), then, (a) such Transferor and the
Servicer agree (except as prohibited by any such order) to allocate and pay to
the Trust, after the date of such inability, all Collections, including
Collections of Receivables transferred to the Trust prior to the occurrence of
such event, and all amounts which would have constituted Collections but for
such Transferor's inability to transfer

                                       30
<PAGE>

Receivables (up to an aggregate amount equal to the amount of Receivables
transferred to the Trust by such Transferor in the Trust on such date), (b) such
Transferor and the Servicer agree that such amounts will be applied as
Collections in accordance with Article VIII of the Indenture and the terms of
each Indenture Supplement and (c) for so long as the allocation and application
of all Collections and all amounts that would have constituted Collections are
made in accordance with clauses (a) and (b) above, Principal Receivables and all
amounts which would have constituted Principal Receivables but for such
Transferor's inability to transfer Receivables to the Trust which are charged
off as uncollectible in accordance with this Agreement shall continue to be
allocated in accordance with Article VIII of the Indenture and the terms of each
Indenture Supplement. For the purpose of the immediately preceding sentence,
such Transferor and the Servicer shall treat the first received Collections with
respect to the Accounts as allocable to the Trust until the Trust shall have
been allocated and paid Collections in an amount equal to the aggregate amount
of Principal Receivables in the Trust as of the date of the occurrence of such
event. If such Transferor and the Servicer are unable pursuant to any
Requirements of Law to allocate Collections as described above, such Transferor
and the Servicer agree that, after the occurrence of such event, payments on
each Account with respect to the principal balance of such Account shall be
allocated first to the oldest principal balance of such Account and shall have
such payments applied as Collections in accordance with Article VIII of the
Indenture and the terms of each Indenture Supplement. The parties hereto agree
that Finance Charge Receivables, whenever created, accrued in respect of
Principal Receivables which have been conveyed to the Trust shall continue to be
a part of the Trust notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer of additional
Principal Receivables to the Trust and Collections with respect thereto shall
continue to be allocated and paid in accordance with Article VIII of the
Indenture and the terms of each Indenture Supplement.

                  Section 2.12. Discount Option.

                  (a) The Transferors shall have the option to designate at any
         time and from time to time a percentage or percentages, which may be a
         fixed percentage or a variable percentage based on a formula (the
         "Discount Percentage"), of all or any specified portion of Principal
         Receivables existing on and after a Discount Option Date to be treated
         as Finance Charge Receivables ("Discount Option Receivables").

                  (b) As of the Initial Issuance Date, the Transferors hereby
         exercise such option and designate a Discount Percentage of ___% to be
         effective as of the Initial Issuance Date and to be applied to all
         Principal Receivables.

                  (c) The Transferors have the option of increasing, reducing or
         withdrawing the Discount Percentage, at any time and from time to time
         and if the Discount Percentage has been withdrawn to again designate a
         Discount Percentage.

                  (d) Except with respect to the designation of the Discount
         Percentage on the Initial Issuance Date, the Transferors shall provide
         to the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency 30 days'
         prior written notice of a Discount Option Date and such designation
         shall become effective on a Discount Option Date only if, (i) the
         Transferors deliver an Officer's Certificate to the effect that such
         designation in the reasonable belief of the Transferors, would not
         cause an Adverse Effect and (ii) the Rating Agency Condition shall have
         been satisfied with respect to such designation.

                  (e) Discount Option Receivable Collections shall be treated as
         Collections of Finance Charge Receivables.

                          ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING
                                 OF RECEIVABLES

                  Section 3.01. Acceptance of Appointment and Other Matters
Relating to the Servicer.

                  (a) Conseco Bank agrees to act as the Servicer under this
         Agreement and the Noteholders by their acceptance of Notes consent to
         Conseco Bank acting as Servicer.

                  (b) The Servicer shall service and administer the Receivables
         and any Participation Interests, shall collect and deposit into the
         Collection Account amounts received under the Receivables and any
         Participation Interests and shall charge-off as uncollectible
         Receivables, all in accordance with its customary and usual servicing
         procedures for servicing credit card receivables comparable to the
         Receivables and in accordance with the Credit Card Guidelines. As agent
         for each Transferor and the Trust, the Servicer shall have full power
         and authority, acting alone or through any party properly designated by
         it hereunder, to do any and all things in connection with such
         servicing and administration which it may deem necessary or desirable.
         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and subject to Section
         7.01, the Servicer or its designee is hereby authorized and empowered,
         unless such power is revoked by the Indenture Trustee on account of the
         occurrence of a Servicer Default pursuant to Section 7.01, (i) to
         instruct the Trust or the Indenture Trustee to make withdrawals and
         payments from the Collection Account, the Special Funding Account and
         any Series Account, as set forth in this Agreement, the Indenture or
         any Indenture Supplement, (ii) to take any action required or permitted
         under any Series Enhancement, as set forth in this Agreement, the
         Indenture or any Indenture Supplement, (iii) to execute and deliver, on
         behalf of the Trust, any and all instruments of satisfaction or
         cancellation, or of partial or full release or discharge, and all other
         comparable instruments, with respect to the Receivables and, after the
         delinquency of any Receivable and to the extent permitted under and in
         compliance with applicable Requirements of Law, to commence collection
         proceedings with respect to such Receivables and (iv) to make any
         filings, reports, notices, applications and registrations with, and to
         seek any consents or authorizations from, the Commission and any state
         securities authority on behalf of the Trust as may be necessary or
         advisable to comply with any Federal or state securities or reporting
         requirements or other laws or regulations. Each of the Trust and the
         Indenture Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with any documents in such
         Person's possession reasonably necessary or appropriate to enable the
         Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties
         hereunder.

                  (c) The Servicer shall not, and no Successor Servicer shall,
         be obligated to use separate servicing procedures, offices, employees
         or accounts for servicing the Receivables from the procedures, offices,
         employees and accounts used by the Servicer or such Successor Servicer,
         as the case may be, in connection with servicing other credit card
         receivables.

                  (d) The Servicer shall comply with and perform its servicing
         obligations with respect to the Accounts and Receivables in accordance
         with the Credit Card Agreements relating to the Accounts and the Credit
         Card Guidelines, except insofar as any failure to so comply or perform
         would not have an Adverse Effect.

                  (e) The Servicer shall pay out of its own funds, without
         reimbursement, all expenses incurred in connection with the Trust and
         the servicing activities hereunder including expenses related to
         enforcement of the Receivables, fees and disbursements of the Owner
         Trustee and the Indenture Trustee (including the reasonable fees and
         expenses of its outside counsel) and independent accountants and all
         other fees and expenses, including the costs of filing UCC continuation
         statements, and the costs and expenses relating to obtaining and
         maintaining the listing of any Notes on any stock exchange. The

                                       32
<PAGE>

         Transferors shall pay out of their own funds, without reimbursement,
         the costs and expenses relating to any stamp, documentary, excise,
         property (whether on real, personal or intangible property) or any
         similar tax levied on the Trust or the Trust's assets that are not
         expressly stated in this Agreement to be payable by the Trust or the
         Transferors (other than federal, state, local and foreign income and
         franchise taxes, if any, or any interest or penalties with respect
         thereto, assessed on the Trust).

                  Section 3.02. Servicing Compensation. As full compensation for
its servicing activities hereunder and as reimbursement for any expense incurred
by it in connection therewith, the Servicer shall be entitled to receive a
servicing fee (the "Servicing Fee") with respect to each Monthly Period, payable
monthly on the related Payment Date, in an amount equal to one-twelfth of the
product of (a) the weighted average of the Servicing Fee Rates with respect to
each outstanding Series (based upon the Servicing Fee Rate for each Series and
the Invested Amount (or such other amount as specified in the related Indenture
Supplement) of such Series, in each case as of the last day of the prior Monthly
Period prior to the termination of the Trust pursuant to 8.01 of the Trust
Agreement. The share of the Servicing Fee allocable to a particular Series with
respect to any Monthly Period (the "Monthly Servicing Fee") will each be
determined in accordance with the relevant Indenture Supplement. The portion of
the Servicing Fee with respect to any Monthly Period not so allocated to any
particular Series shall be paid by the Holders of the Transferors' Interest on
the related Payment Date and in no event shall the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders of any Series or any Series Enhancer be
liable for the share of the Servicing Fee with respect to any Monthly Period to
be paid by the Holders of the Transferors' Interest.

                  Section 3.03. Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the
Servicer. Conseco Bank, as initial Servicer, hereby makes, and any Successor
Servicer by its appointment hereunder shall make, with respect to itself, on
each Closing Date (and on the date of any such appointment), the following
representations, warranties and covenants on which the Owner Trustee and the
Indenture Trustee shall be deemed to have relied in accepting the Receivables in
trust and in entering into the Indenture:

                  (a) Organization and Good Standing. The Servicer is a
         corporation validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
         organization or incorporation and has, in all material respects, full
         power and authority to own its properties and conduct its credit
         servicing business as presently owned or conducted, and to execute,
         deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (b) Due Qualification. The Servicer is duly qualified to do
         business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation or other
         foreign entity (or is exempt from such requirements) and has obtained
         all necessary licenses and approvals in each jurisdiction in which the
         servicing of the Receivables (including the underlying receivables) and
         any Participation Interests as required by this Agreement requires such
         qualification except where the failure to so qualify or obtain licenses
         or approvals would not have a material adverse effect on its ability to
         perform its obligations as Servicer under this Agreement.

                  (c) Due Authorization. The execution, delivery, and
         performance of this Agreement and the other agreements and instruments
         executed or to be executed by the Servicer as contemplated hereby, have
         been duly authorized by the Servicer by all necessary action on the
         part of the Servicer.

                  (d) Binding Obligation. This Agreement constitutes a legal,
         valid and binding obligation of the Servicer, enforceable in accordance
         with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
         applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium

                                       33
<PAGE>

         or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally from time
         to time in effect or by general principles of equity.

                  (e) No Conflict. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
         by the Servicer, and the performance of the transactions contemplated
         by this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof
         applicable to the Servicer, will not conflict with, violate or result
         in any breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or
         constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a material
         default under, any indenture, contract, agreement, mortgage, deed of
         trust or other instrument to which the Servicer is a party or by which
         it or its properties are bound.

                  (f) No Violation. The execution and delivery of this Agreement
         by the Servicer, the performance of the transactions contemplated by
         this Agreement and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof
         applicable to the Servicer will not conflict with or violate any
         Requirements of Law applicable to the Servicer.

                  (g) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or investigations
         pending or, to the best knowledge of the Servicer, threatened against
         the Servicer before any Governmental Authority seeking to prevent the
         consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
         or seeking any determination or ruling that, in the reasonable judgment
         of the Servicer, would materially and adversely affect the performance
         by the Servicer of its obligations under this Agreement.

                  (h) Compliance with Requirements of Law. The Servicer shall
         duly satisfy all obligations on its part to be fulfilled under or in
         connection with each Receivable (and the underlying receivable) and the
         related Account, if any, will maintain in effect all qualifications
         required under Requirements of Law in order to service properly each
         Receivable and the related Account, if any, and will comply in all
         material respects with all other Requirements of Law in connection with
         servicing each Receivable and the related Account the failure to comply
         with which would have an Adverse Effect.

                  (i) No Rescission or Cancellation. The Servicer shall not
         permit any rescission or cancellation of any Receivable (or the
         underlying receivable) except in accordance with the Credit Card
         Guidelines or as ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction or other
         Governmental Authority.

                  (j) Protection of Rights. The Servicer shall take no action
         which, nor omit to take any action the omission of which, would impair
         the rights of the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee or
         the Noteholders in any Receivable (or the underlying receivable) or the
         related Account or any Participation Interest, if any, nor shall it
         reschedule, revise or defer payments due on any Receivable except in
         accordance with the Credit Card Guidelines.

                  (k) Receivables Not To Be Evidenced by Promissory Notes.
         Except in connection with its enforcement or collection of an Account,
         the Servicer will take no action to cause any Receivable to be
         evidenced by any instrument (as defined in the UCC) and if any
         Receivable is so evidenced it shall be reassigned or assigned to the
         Servicer as provided in this Section.

                  (l) All Consents. All authorizations, consents, orders or
         approvals of or registrations or declarations with any Governmental
         Authority required to be obtained, effected or given by the Servicer in
         connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the

                                       34
<PAGE>

         Servicer and the performance of the transactions contemplated by this
         Agreement by the Servicer, have been duly obtained, effected or given
         and are in full force and effect.

                  (m) Changes in Credit Card Guidelines. Subject to compliance
         with all Requirements of Law, the Servicer may change the terms and
         provisions of the applicable Credit Card Guidelines of the Servicer in
         any respect (including the calculation of the amount or the timing of
         charge-offs and the finance charges to be assessed thereon).
         Notwithstanding the above, unless required by Requirements of Law, the
         Servicer will not take any action unless (i) at the time of such
         action, the Servicer reasonably believes that such action will not
         cause an Amortization Event, Reinvestment Event or Event of Default to
         occur, and (ii) such change is made applicable to the comparable
         segment of the credit accounts owned by the relevant Account Owner
         which have characteristics the same as, or substantially similar to,
         the Accounts that are the subject of such change, except as otherwise
         restricted by an endorsement, sponsorship, or other agreement between
         the Account Owner and an unrelated third party or by the terms of the
         Credit Card Agreements.

                  In the event (x) any of the representations, warranties or
covenants of the Servicer contained in subsection 3.03(h), (i) or (j) with
respect to any Receivable or the related Account is breached, and such breach
has a material adverse effect on such Receivable (which determination shall be
made without regard to whether funds are then available to any Noteholders
pursuant to any Series Enhancement) and is not cured within 60 days (or such
longer period, not in excess of 120 days, as may be agreed to by the Indenture
Trustee and the Transferors) of the earlier to occur of the discovery of such
event by the Servicer, or receipt by the Servicer of notice of such event given
by the Indenture Trustee or a Transferor, or (y) as provided in subsection
3.03(k) with respect to any Receivable, all Receivables in the Account or
Accounts to which such event relates shall be assigned and transferred to the
Servicer on the terms and conditions set forth below.

                  The Servicer shall effect such assignment by making a deposit
into the Collection Account in immediately available funds on the Payment Date
following the Monthly Period in which such assignment obligation arises in an
amount equal to the amount of such Receivables.

                  Upon each such reassignment or assignment to the Servicer, the
Trust shall automatically and without further action be deemed to sell,
transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Servicer, without
recourse, representation or warranty, all right, title and interest of the Trust
in and to such Receivables, all Recoveries related thereto, all monies due or to
become due and all amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all
proceeds thereof. The Trust shall execute such documents and instruments of
transfer or assignment and take such other actions as shall be reasonably
requested by the Servicer to effect the conveyance of any such Receivables
pursuant to this Section but only upon receipt of an Officer's Certificate of
the Servicer that states that all conditions set forth in this section have been
satisfied. The obligation of the Servicer to accept reassignment or assignment
of such Receivables, and to make the deposits, if any, required to be made to
the Collection Account as provided in the preceding paragraph, shall constitute
the sole remedy respecting the event giving rise to such obligation available to
Noteholders (or the Indenture Trustee on behalf of Noteholders) or any Series
Enhancer, except as provided in Section 5.04.

                  Section 3.04. Reports and Records for the Trust and the
Indenture Trustee.

                  (a) Daily Records. On each Business Day, the Servicer shall
         make or cause to be made available at the office of the Servicer for
         inspection by the Trust and the Indenture Trustee upon request a record
         setting forth (i) the Collections in respect of Principal Receivables
         and in respect of Finance Charge Receivables processed by the Servicer
         on the second preceding Business Day in respect

                                       35
<PAGE>

         of each Account and (ii) the amount of Receivables as of the close of
         business on the second preceding Business Day in each Account. The
         Servicer shall, at all times, maintain its computer files with respect
         to the Accounts in such a manner so that the Accounts may be
         specifically identified and shall make available to the Trust and the
         Indenture Trustee at the office of the Servicer on any Business Day any
         computer programs necessary to make such identification. The Trust and
         the Indenture Trustee shall enter into such reasonable confidentiality
         agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to protect its
         interests and as are reasonably acceptable in form and substance to the
         Trust and the Indenture Trustee.

                  (b) Monthly Servicer's Certificate. Not later than the second
         Business Day preceding each Payment Date, the Servicer shall, with
         respect to each outstanding Series, deliver to the Trust, the Indenture
         Trustee and each Rating Agency a certificate of an Authorized Officer
         in substantially the form set forth in the related Indenture
         Supplement.

                  Section 3.05. Annual Certificate of Servicer. The Servicer
shall deliver to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency on or
before March 31 of each calendar year, beginning with March 31, 2002, an
Officer's Certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C.

                  Section 3.06. Annual Servicing Report of Independent Public
Accountants; Copies of Reports Available.

                  (a) On or before March 31 of each calendar year, beginning
         with March 31, 2002, the Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally
         recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other
         services to the Servicer or a Transferor) to furnish a report addressed
         to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, the Servicer
         and each Rating Agency to the effect that they have applied certain
         procedures agreed upon with the Servicer and examined certain documents
         and records relating to the servicing of Accounts under this Agreement,
         the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement and that, on the basis of
         such agreed-upon procedures, nothing has come to the attention of such
         accountants that caused them to believe that the servicing (including
         the allocation of Collections) has not been conducted in compliance
         with the terms and conditions as set forth in Article III and Section
         5.08 of this Agreement and the applicable provisions of the Indenture
         and each Indenture Supplement, except for such exceptions as they
         believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be set
         forth in such statement. Such report shall set forth the agreed-upon
         procedures performed. In the event such firm requires the Indenture
         Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm, the Servicer
         shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree; it being
         understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver such
         letter of agreement in conclusive reliance upon the direction of the
         Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee shall not make any independent
         inquiry or investigation as to, and shall have no obligation or
         liability in respect of, the sufficiency, validity or correctness of
         such procedures.

                  (b) On or before March 31 of each calendar year, beginning
         with March 31, 2002, the Servicer shall cause a firm of nationally
         recognized independent public accountants (who may also render other
         services to the Servicer or the Transferor) to furnish a report
         (addressed to the Trust) to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the
         Servicer and each Rating Agency to the effect that they have applied
         certain procedures agreed upon with the Servicer to compare the
         mathematical calculations of certain amounts set forth in the
         Servicer's certificates delivered pursuant to subsection 3.04(b) during
         the period covered by such report with the Servicer's computer reports
         that were the source of such amounts and that on the basis of such
         agreed-upon procedures and comparison, such accountants are of the
         opinion that such amounts are in agreement, except for such exceptions
         as they believe to be immaterial and such other exceptions as shall be
         set forth in such statement. Such report shall set forth the
         agreed-upon procedures performed. In the event such firm requires the
         Indenture Trustee to agree to the procedures performed by such firm,
         the Servicer shall direct the Indenture Trustee in writing to so agree;
         it being understood and agreed that the Indenture Trustee will deliver
         such letter of agreement in conclusive

                                       36
<PAGE>

         reliance upon the direction of the Servicer, and the Indenture Trustee
         shall not make any independent inquiry or investigation as to, and
         shall have no obligation or liability in respect of, the sufficiency,
         validity or correctness of such procedures.

                  (c) A copy of each certificate and report provided pursuant to
         subsection 3.04(b), or Section 3.05 or 3.06 may be obtained by any
         Noteholder or beneficial owner of a Note by a request in writing to the
         Trust at the address set forth in Section 9.04.

                  Section 3.07. Tax Treatment. Unless otherwise specified in the
Indenture or an Indenture Supplement with respect to a particular Series, the
Transferor has entered into this Agreement, and the Notes will be issued, with
the intention that, for federal, state and local income and franchise tax
purposes, (i) the Notes of each Series which are characterized as indebtedness
at the time of their issuance will qualify as indebtedness secured by the
Receivables and (ii) the Trust shall not be treated as an association or
publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation. The Transferor, by
entering into this Agreement, and each Noteholder, by the acceptance of any such
Note (and each Note Owner, by its acceptance of an interest in the applicable
Note), agree to treat such Notes for federal, state and local income and
franchise tax purposes as indebtedness of the Transferor. Each Holder of such
Note agrees that it will cause any Note Owner acquiring an interest in a Note
through it to comply with this Agreement as to treatment as indebtedness under
applicable tax law, as described in this Section 3.07. The parties hereto agree
that they shall not cause or permit the making, as applicable, of any election
under Treasury Regulation Section 301.7701-3 whereby the Trust or any portion
thereof would be treated as a corporation for federal income tax purposes and,
except as required by Section 6.13 of the Indenture, shall not file tax returns
or obtain any federal employer identification number for the Trust but shall
treat the Trust as a security device for such purposes. The provisions of this
Agreement shall be construed in furtherance of the foregoing intended tax
treatment.

                  Section 3.08. Notices to Conseco Bank. In the event that
Conseco Bank is no longer acting as Servicer, any Successor Servicer shall
deliver or make available to Conseco Bank each certificate and report required
to be provided thereafter pursuant to subsection 3.04(b) and Sections 3.05 and
3.06.

                  Section 3.09. Adjustments.

                  (a) If the Servicer adjusts downward the amount of any
         Receivable because of a rebate, refund, unauthorized charge or billing
         error to an Obligor, because such Receivable was created in respect of
         merchandise or services which was refused or returned by an Obligor, or
         if the Servicer otherwise adjusts downward the amount of any Receivable
         without receiving Collections therefor or charging off such amount as
         uncollectible, then, in any such case, the amount of Principal
         Receivables used to calculate the Transferor Amount, and (unless
         otherwise specified) any other amount required herein or in the
         Indenture or any Indenture Supplement to be calculated by reference to
         the amount of Principal Receivables, will be reduced by the amount of
         the adjustment. Similarly, the amount of Principal Receivables used to
         calculate the Transferor Amount and (unless otherwise specified) any
         other amount required herein or in the Indenture or in any Indenture
         Supplement to be calculated by reference to the amount of Principal
         Receivables will be reduced by the principal amount of any Receivable
         which was discovered as having been created through a fraudulent or
         counterfeit charge or with respect to which the covenant contained in
         subsection 2.07(b) was breached. Any adjustment required pursuant to
         either of the two preceding sentences shall be made on or prior to the
         end of the Monthly Period in which such adjustment obligation arises.
         In the event that, following the exclusion of such Principal
         Receivables from the calculation of the Transferor Amount, the
         Transferor Amount would be less than the Required Transferor Amount,
         not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on the Payment Date
         following the Monthly Period in which such adjustment obligation
         arises, one or more of the Transferors shall make a

                                       37
<PAGE>

         deposit into the Special Funding Account in immediately available funds
         and the total amount of such deposit shall be in an amount equal to the
         amount by which the Transferor Amount would be less than the Required
         Transferor Amount, due to adjustments with respect to Receivables
         conveyed by the Transferors (up to the amount of such Principal
         Receivables).

                  (b) If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into the Collection
         Account in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such Collection
         was received by the Servicer in the form of a check which is not
         honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with
         respect to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is
         less than or more than the actual amount of such Collection, the
         Servicer shall appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited
         into the Collection Account to reflect such dishonored check or
         mistake. Any Receivable in respect of which a dishonored check is
         received shall be deemed not to have been paid. Notwithstanding the
         first two sentences of this paragraph, adjustments made pursuant to
         this Section shall not require any change in any report previously
         delivered pursuant to subsection 3.04(a).

                  Section 3.10. Reports to the Commission. The Servicer shall,
on behalf of the Trust, cause to be filed with the Commission any periodic
reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder.
The Transferor shall, at its own expense, cooperate in any reasonable request of
the Servicer in connection with such filings.

                  Trustee, the performance of every covenant and obligation of
                  such Transferor hereunder; and (y) such Transferor or the
                  surviving entity, as the case may be, has delivered to the
                  Trust and the Indenture Trustee (with a copy to each Rating
                  Agency) an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel
                  each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance,
                  transfer or sale and such supplemental agreement comply with
                  this Section, that such supplemental agreement is a valid and
                  binding obligation of such surviving entity enforceable
                  against such surviving entity in accordance with its terms,

                  similar laws affecting creditors' rights generally from time
                  to time in effect or general principles of equity, and that

                  satisfied with respect to such consolidation, merger,
                  conveyance or transfer.

         conveyances, mergers, consolidations, assumptions, sales or transfers
         in accordance with the provisions of the foregoing paragraph and (ii)
         for conveyances, mergers, consolidations, assumptions, sales or
         transfers to other entities (1) which such Transferor and the Servicer
         determine will not result in an Adverse Effect, (2) which meet the
         requirements of clause (ii) of the preceding paragraph and (3) for
         which such purchaser, transferee, pledgee or entity shall expressly
         assume, in an agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to
         the Trust and the Indenture Trustee in writing in form satisfactory to
         the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, the performance of every covenant

                  Section 4.03. Limitations on Liability of Each Transferor.
Subject to Section 4.01, no Transferor nor any of the directors, officers,
employees, incorporators or agents of any Transferor acting in such capacities
shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the Indenture
Trustee, the Noteholders, any Series Enhancer, any other Transferor or any other
Person for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in
good faith in such capacities pursuant to this Agreement, it being expressly
understood that such liability is expressly waived and released as a condition
of, and consideration for, the execution of this Agreement, the Indenture and
any Indenture Supplement and the issuance of the Notes; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect any Transferor or any such person against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. Each Transferor and any director,
officer, employee or agent of such Transferor may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
(other than such Transferor) respecting any matters arising hereunder.

                  Section 4.04. Assumption of the Transferor Obligations.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.02 or other provisions of this
Agreement, each Transferor may assign, convey and transfer its credit accounts
and the receivables arising thereunder, which may include all, but not less than
all, of the Accounts and such Transferor's remaining interest in the Receivables
arising thereunder and the Transferor Amount (collectively, the "Assigned
Assets"), together with all servicing functions and other obligations under this
Agreement or relating to the transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, the
"Assumed Obligations"), to other entities (such entity or entities, the
"Assuming Entity"), which may be entities that are not affiliated with such
Transferor, and such Transferor may assign, convey and transfer the Assigned
Assets and the Assumed Obligations to such Assuming Entity, without the consent
or approval of the Holders of the Notes, upon satisfaction of the following
conditions:

                  (a) such Assuming Entity, such Transferor and the Trust shall
         have entered into an assumption agreement (the "Assumption Agreement")
         providing for the Assuming Entity to assume the Assumed Obligations,
         including the obligation under this Agreement to transfer the
         Receivables arising under the Accounts to the Trust, and such
         Transferor shall have delivered to the Owner Trustee and the Indenture
         Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of Counsel each stating
         that such transfer and assumption comply with this Section, that such
         Assumption Agreement is a valid and binding obligation of such Assuming
         Entity enforceable against such Assuming Entity in accordance with its
         terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, receivership,
         conservatorship or other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
         generally or creditors of national banking associations, from time to
         time, in effect and except as such enforceability may be limited by
         general principles of equity (whether considered in a suit at law or in
         equity), and that all conditions precedent herein provided for relating
         to such transaction have been complied with;

                  (b) such Transferor or such Assuming Entity shall have
         delivered to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee copies of UCC-1
         financing statements covering such Accounts to perfect the Trust's
         interest and the Indenture Trustee's interest in the Receivables
         arising herein;

                  (c) if such Assuming Entity shall be eligible to be a debtor
         in a case under the Bankruptcy Code, such Transferor shall have
         delivered to the Rating Agency (with a copy to the Servicer and the
         Indenture Trustee) notice of such transfer and assumption, and that
         each Rating Agency that has rated an Outstanding Series of Notes
         confirm in writing that such transfer will not result in a reduction or
         withdrawal of its rating of any Class of any Outstanding Series of
         Notes or, if such Assuming Entity shall not be eligible to be a debtor
         under the Bankruptcy Code, such Transferor shall have delivered to the
         Rating Agency notice of such transfer and assumption;

                                       40
<PAGE>

                  (d) the Trust and the Indenture Trustee shall have received an
         Opinion of Counsel to the effect that (i) the transfer of such
         Receivables by such Assuming Entity shall constitute either a sale of,
         or the granting of a security interest in, such Receivables by such
         Assuming Entity to the Trust, (ii) the condition specified in clause
         (b) shall have been satisfied, and (iii) if such Assuming Entity shall
         be subject to the FDIA, [the interest of the Trust in such Receivables
         should not be subject to reclamation or recovery by the FDIC if the
         FDIC were to become the receiver or conservator of such Assuming
         Entity;]

                  (e) such Transferor shall have received written notice that
         the Rating Agency Condition has been satisfied with respect to such
         transfer and assumption and shall have delivered copies of each such
         written notice to the Servicer, the Trust and the Indenture Trustee;

                  (f) the Indenture Trustee shall have received a Tax Opinion;
         and

                  (g) the Rating Agency Condition shall be satisfied.

                  Upon any such transfer to and assumption by an Assuming
Entity, the Transferors shall if the Transferors' Interest is then in
certificated form, surrender the Transferors Certificate to the Transfer Agent
and Registrar or if the Transferors' Interest is not in certificated form
deliver transfer instructions to the Transfer Agent and Registrar for
registration of transfer and, if applicable, the Trustee shall issue a new
Transferor Certificate in the name of such Assuming Entity and any non-assigning
Transferor or shall record the interest of the Assuming Entity and the
non-assigning Transferor in its records. Notwithstanding such assumption, such
assigning Transferor shall continue to be liable for all representations and
warranties and covenants made by it and all obligations performed or to be
performed by it in its capacity as Transferor prior to such transfer.

                  Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 4.04 to the
contrary, any Transferor may transfer, from time to time, Assigned Assets to any
other Transferor upon the satisfaction of subsections (a) and (b), above. Such
Transferor shall promptly provide notice to the Rating Agency indicating the
occurrence of any such transfer.

                     OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO THE SERVICER

                  Section 5.01. Liability of the Servicer. The Servicer shall be
liable under this Article only to the extent of the obligations specifically
undertaken by the Servicer in its capacity as Servicer.

                  Section 5.02. Merger or Consolidation of, or Assumption of the
Obligations of, the Servicer. The Servicer shall not consolidate with or merge
into any other corporation or other entity or convey, transfer or sell its
properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

                  (a) (i) the entity formed by such consolidation or into which
         the Servicer is merged or the Person which acquires by conveyance,
         transfer or sale the properties and assets of the Servicer
         substantially as an entirety shall be, if the Servicer is not the
         surviving entity, a corporation or other entity organized and existing
         under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the
         District of Columbia, and, if the Servicer is not the surviving entity,
         such corporation or other entity shall expressly assume, by an
         agreement supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trust, the
         Indenture Trustee and the Transferors, in form satisfactory to the
         Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Transferors, the performance of
         every covenant and obligation of the Servicer hereunder;

                           (ii) the Servicer has delivered to the Trust and the
                  Indenture Trustee an Officer's Certificate and an Opinion of
                  Counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger,
                  conveyance, transfer or sale comply with this Section and that
                  all conditions precedent herein provided for relating to such
                  transaction have been complied with;

                           (iii) the Servicer shall have given the Rating
                  Agencies notice of such consolidation, merger or transfer or
                  assets and the Rating Agency Condition shall have been
                  satisfied; and

                  (b) the corporation or other entity formed by such
         consolidation or into which the Servicer is merged or the Person which
         acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the
         Servicer substantially as an entirety shall be an Eligible Servicer.

                  Section 5.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and
Others. Except as provided in Section 5.04, neither the Servicer nor any of the
directors, officers, employees or agents of the Servicer in its capacity as
Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Owner Trustee, the
Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders, any Series Enhancer or any other Person for
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action in good faith
in its capacity as Servicer pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that
this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person against any
liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence in the performance of duties or by reason of reckless
disregard of obligations and duties hereunder. The Servicer and any director,
officer, employee or agent of the Servicer may rely in good faith on any
document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person
(other than the Servicer) respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer
shall not be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any legal
action which is not incidental to its duties as Servicer in accordance with this
Agreement and which in its reasonable judgment may involve it in any expense or
liability. The Servicer may, in its sole discretion, undertake any such legal
action which it may deem necessary or desirable for the benefit of the
Noteholders with respect to this Agreement and the rights and duties of the
parties hereto and the interests of the Noteholders hereunder.

<PAGE>

                  Section 5.04. Servicer Indemnification of the Trust, the Owner
Trustee and the Indenture Trustee. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold
harmless the Trust, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and any trustees
predecessor thereto (including the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as Transfer
Agent and Registrar or as Paying Agent) and their respective directors,
officers, employees and agents from and against any and all loss, liability,
claim, action, suit, cost, expense, damage or injury of any kind or nature
whatsoever suffered or sustained by reason of (a) any acts or omissions of the
Servicer with respect to the Trust pursuant to this Agreement or (b) the
administration by the Owner Trustee of the Trust (in the case of clause (a) or
(b), other than such as may arise from the negligence or willful misconduct of
the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable), including any
judgment, award, settlement, reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs or
expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any action, proceeding or
claim. Indemnification pursuant to this Section shall not be payable from the
Trust Assets. The Servicer's obligations under this Section 5.04 shall survive
the termination of this Agreement or the Trust or the earlier removal or
resignation of the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, as applicable.

                  Section 5.05. Resignation of the Servicer. The Servicer shall
not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (a) upon
determination that (i) the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer
permissible under applicable law and (ii) there is no reasonable action which
the Servicer could take to make the performance of its duties hereunder
permissible under applicable law or (b) upon the assumption, by an agreement
supplemental hereto, executed and delivered to the Trust and the Indenture
Trustee, in form satisfactory to the Trust and the Indenture Trustee, of the
obligations and duties of the Servicer hereunder by any of its Affiliates that
is a direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp. or by
any other entity the appointment of which shall have satisfied the Rating Agency
Condition and, in either case, qualifies as an Eligible Servicer. Any
determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced as
to clause (a) above by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the
Trust and the Indenture Trustee. No resignation shall become effective until the
Indenture Trustee or a Successor Servicer shall have assumed the
responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.02
hereof. If within 120 days of the date of the determination that the Servicer
may no longer act as Servicer under clause (a) above the Indenture Trustee is
unable to appoint a Successor Servicer, the Indenture Trustee shall serve as
Successor Servicer.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indenture Trustee shall, if
it is legally unable so to act, petition a court of competent jurisdiction to
appoint any established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer as the
Successor Servicer hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt notice to
each Rating Agency and each Series Enhancer upon the appointment of a Successor
Servicer. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Conseco
Bank may assign part or all of its obligations and duties as Servicer under this
Agreement to an Affiliate of Conseco Finance Corp. so long as Conseco Bank or
Conseco Finance Corp. shall have fully guaranteed the performance of such
obligations and duties under this Agreement and Conseco Bank may carry out some
or all of its duties and obligations as Servicer through subservicing
arrangements with its Affiliates.

                  Section 5.06. Access to Certain Documentation and Information
Regarding the Receivables. The Servicer shall provide to the Trust or the
Indenture Trustee, as applicable, access to the documentation regarding the
Accounts and the Receivables in such cases where the Trust or the Indenture
Trustee, as applicable, is required in connection with the enforcement of the
rights of Noteholders or by applicable statutes or regulations to review such
documentation, such access being afforded without charge but only (a) upon
reasonable request, (b) during normal business hours, (c) subject to the
Servicer's normal security and confidentiality procedures and (d) at reasonably
accessible offices in the continental United States designated by the Servicer.
Nothing in this Section shall derogate from the obligation of the Transferor,
the Trust, the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer to observe any applicable law
prohibiting disclosure of information regarding the Obligors and the failure of
the Servicer to provide

                                       43
<PAGE>

access as provided in this Section as a result of such obligation shall not
constitute a breach of this Section.

                  Section 5.07. Delegation of Duties. In the ordinary course of
business, the Servicer may at any time delegate its duties hereunder with
respect to the Accounts and the Receivables to any Person that agrees to conduct
such duties in accordance with the Credit Card Guidelines and this Agreement.
Such delegation shall not relieve the Servicer of its liability and
responsibility with respect to such duties, and shall not constitute a
resignation within the meaning of Section 5.05.

                  Section 5.08. Examination of Records. Each Transferor and the
Servicer shall indicate generally in their computer files or other records that
the Receivables arising in the Accounts have been conveyed to the Trust pursuant
to this Agreement. Each Transferor and the Servicer shall, prior to the sale or
transfer to a third party of any receivable held in its custody, examine its
computer records and other records to determine that such receivable is not, and
does not include, a Receivable.

reorganization, conservatorship, receivership or liquidation of such entity's
affairs, or notwithstanding an objection by such Transferor any such action
shall have remained undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days or upon
entry of any order or decree providing for such relief; or such Transferor shall
admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,

Trustee thereof. Notwithstanding any cessation of the transfer to the Trust of
additional Principal Receivables, Principal Receivables transferred to the Trust
prior to the occurrence of such Insolvency Event, Collections in respect of such
Principal Receivables and Finance Charge Receivables (whenever created) accrued
in respect of such Principal Receivables shall continue to be a part of the
Trust Assets and shall be allocated and distributed to Noteholders in accordance
with the terms of the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement.

                  Section 7.01. Servicer Defaults. If any one of the following
events (a "Servicer Default") shall occur and be continuing:

                  (a) any failure by the Servicer to make any payment, transfer
         or deposit or to give instructions or to give notice to the Indenture
         Trustee to make such payment, transfer or deposit on or before the date
         occurring five Business Days after the date such payment, transfer or
         deposit or such instruction or notice is required to be made or given,
         as the case may be, under the terms of this Agreement, the Indenture or
         any Indenture Supplement;

                  (b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or
         perform in any material respect any other covenants or agreements of
         the Servicer set forth in the Indenture, any Indenture Supplement or
         this Agreement which has an Adverse Effect and which continues
         unremedied for a period of 60 days after the date on which notice of
         such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall have been given
         to the Servicer by the Owner Trustee or the Indenture Trustee, or to
         the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee by Holders of
         Notes evidencing not less than 10% of the aggregate unpaid principal
         amount of all Notes (or, with respect to any such failure that does not
         relate to all Series, 10% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
         all Series to which such failure relates); or the Servicer shall assign
         or delegate its duties under this Agreement, except as permitted by
         Sections 5.02 and 5.07;

                  (c) any representation, warranty or certification made by the
         Servicer in this Agreement or in any certificate delivered pursuant to
         this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect when made, which has
         an Adverse Effect and which Adverse Effect continues for a period of 60
         days after the date on which notice thereof, requiring the same to be
         remedied, shall have been given to the Servicer by the Owner Trustee or
         the Indenture Trustee, or to the Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the
         Indenture Trustee by the Holders of Notes evidencing not less than 10%
         of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Notes (or, with respect
         to any such representation, warranty or certification that does not
         relate to all Series, 10% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
         all Series to which such representation, warranty or certification
         relates); or

                  (d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a
         bankruptcy trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator or similar
         official in any bankruptcy proceeding or other insolvency, readjustment
         of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings
         of or relating to the Servicer or of or relating to all or
         substantially all its property, or a decree or order of a court or
         agency or supervisory authority having jurisdiction in the premises for
         the appointment of a bankruptcy trustee, conservator, receiver,
         liquidator or similar official in any bankruptcy, insolvency,
         readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
         proceedings, or the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall
         have been entered against the Servicer; or the Servicer shall admit in
         writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due,
         file a petition to take advantage of any applicable bankruptcy,
         insolvency or reorganization statute, make any assignment for the
         benefit of its creditors or voluntarily suspend payment of its
         obligations;

then, in the event of any Servicer Default, so long as the Servicer Default
shall not have been remedied, either the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of
Notes evidencing more than 50% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all
Notes, by notice then given to the Servicer and the Owner Trustee (and to the

                                       46
<PAGE>

Indenture Trustee if given by the Noteholders) (a "Termination Notice"), may
terminate all but not less than all the rights and obligations of the Servicer
as Servicer under this Agreement, the Indenture and each Indenture Supplement;
provided, however, if within 60 days of receipt of a Termination Notice the
Indenture Trustee does not receive any bids from Eligible Servicers in
accordance with subsection 7.02(c) to act as a Successor Servicer and receives
an Officer's Certificate of the Servicer to the effect that the Servicer cannot
in good faith cure the Servicer Default which gave rise to the Termination
Notice, the Indenture Trustee shall grant a right of first refusal to the
Transferors which would permit the Transferors at their option to purchase the
Notes on the Payment Date in the next calendar month.

                  The price for the Notes shall be equal to the sum of the
amounts specified therefor with respect to each outstanding Series in the
related Indenture Supplement. The Transferors shall notify the Indenture Trustee
prior to the Record Date for the Payment Date of the acquisition if it is
exercising such right of first refusal. If the Transferors exercise such right
of first refusal, the Transferors shall deposit the price into the Collection
Account not later than 1:00 p.m., New York City time, on such Payment Date in
immediately available funds. The price shall be allocated and distributed to
Noteholders in accordance with the terms of the Indenture and each Indenture
Supplement.

                  After receipt by the Servicer of a Termination Notice, and on
the date that a Successor Servicer is appointed by the Indenture Trustee
pursuant to Section 7.02, all authority and power of the Servicer under this
Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Successor Servicer (a "Service
Transfer"); and, without limitation, the Indenture Trustee is hereby authorized
and empowered (upon the failure of the Servicer to cooperate) to execute and
deliver, on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, all
documents and other instruments upon the failure of the Servicer to execute or
deliver such documents or instruments, and to do and accomplish all other acts
or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service
Transfer. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Indenture Trustee and such
Successor Servicer in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
rights of the Servicer to conduct servicing hereunder, including the transfer to
such Successor Servicer of all authority of the Servicer to service the
Receivables provided for under this Agreement, including all authority over all
Collections which shall on the date of transfer be held by the Servicer for
deposit, or which have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Collection
Account, or which shall thereafter be received with respect to the Receivables,
and in assisting the Successor Servicer. The Servicer shall as soon as
practicable, but within not more than 20 Business Days, transfer its electronic
records relating to the Receivables to the Successor Servicer in such electronic
form as the Successor Servicer may reasonably request and shall promptly
transfer to the Successor Servicer all other records, correspondence and
documents necessary for the continued servicing of the Receivables in the manner
and at such times as the Successor Servicer shall reasonably request. To the
extent that compliance with this Section shall require the Servicer to disclose
to the Successor Servicer information of any kind which the Servicer deems to be
confidential, the Successor Servicer shall be required to enter into such
customary licensing and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem
reasonably necessary to protect its interests. The Servicer shall pay to the
Indenture Trustee and any Successor Servicer the reasonable transition expenses
incurred by such person and the agents in connection with any transition of
Servicing.

                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, a delay in or failure of
performance referred to in paragraph (a) above for a period of 10 Business Days
after the applicable grace period or under paragraph (b) or (c) above for a
period of 60 Business Days after the applicable grace period, shall not
constitute a Servicer Default if such delay or failure could not be prevented by
the exercise of reasonable diligence by the Servicer and such delay or failure
was caused by an act of God or the public enemy, acts of declared or undeclared
war, public disorder, rebellion or sabotage, epidemics, landslides, lightning,
fire, hurricanes, earthquakes, floods or similar causes. The preceding sentence
shall not relieve the Servicer from using all commercially reasonable efforts to
perform its obligations in a timely manner in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and the Servicer shall provide the Indenture Trustee, the

                                       47
<PAGE>

Trust, each Transferor and any Series Enhancer with an Officer's Certificate
giving prompt notice of such failure or delay by it, together with a description
of its efforts so to perform its obligations.

                  Section 7.02. Indenture Trustee To Act; Appointment of
Successor.

                  (a) On and after the receipt by the Servicer of a Termination
         Notice pursuant to Section 7.01, the Servicer shall continue to perform
         all servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified
         in the Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Indenture
         Trustee or until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and the
         Indenture Trustee. The Indenture Trustee shall as promptly as possible
         after the giving of a Termination Notice appoint an Eligible Servicer
         as a successor servicer (the "Successor Servicer"), and such Successor
         Servicer shall accept its appointment by a written assumption in a form
         acceptable to the Indenture Trustee. In the event that a Successor
         Servicer has not been appointed or has not accepted its appointment at
         the time when the Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Indenture
         Trustee without further action shall automatically be appointed the
         Successor Servicer. The Indenture Trustee may delegate any of its
         servicing obligations to an Affiliate or agent in accordance with
         subsection 3.01(b) and Section 5.07. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
         Indenture Trustee shall, if it is legally unable so to act, petition at
         the expense of the Servicer a court of competent jurisdiction to
         appoint any established institution qualifying as an Eligible Servicer
         as the Successor Servicer hereunder. The Indenture Trustee shall give
         prompt notice to each Rating Agency and each Series Enhancer upon the
         appointment of a Successor Servicer.

                  (b) Upon its appointment, the Successor Servicer shall be the
         successor in all respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing
         functions under this Agreement and shall be subject to all the
         responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the
         Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and all references in this
         Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to refer to the Successor
         Servicer.

                  (c) In connection with any Termination Notice, the Indenture
         Trustee will review any bids which it obtains from Eligible Servicers
         and shall be permitted to appoint any Eligible Servicer submitting such
         a bid as a Successor Servicer for servicing compensation not in excess
         of the aggregate Monthly Servicing Fees for all Series plus the sum of
         the amounts with respect to each Series and with respect to each
         Payment Date equal to any Collections of Finance Charge Receivables
         allocable to Noteholders of such Series which are payable to the
         holders of the Transferors' Interest after payment of all amounts owing
         to the Noteholders of such Series with respect to such Payment Date or
         required to be deposited in the applicable Series Accounts with respect
         to such Payment Date and any amounts required to be paid to any Series
         Enhancer for such Series with respect to such Payment Date pursuant to
         the terms of any Enhancement Agreement; provided, however, that the
         Holders of the Transferors' Interest shall be responsible for payment
         of the Transferors' portion of such aggregate Monthly Servicing Fees
         and all other such amounts in excess of such aggregate Monthly
         Servicing Fees. Each Holder of the Transferors' Interest agrees that,
         if Conseco Bank (or any Successor Servicer) is terminated as Servicer
         hereunder, the portion of the Collections in respect of Finance Charge
         Receivables that the Transferors are entitled to receive pursuant to
         this Agreement, the Indenture or any Indenture Supplement shall be
         reduced by an amount sufficient to pay the Transferors' share of the
         compensation of the Successor Servicer.

                  (d) All authority and power granted to the Servicer under this
         Agreement shall automatically cease and terminate upon termination of
         the Trust pursuant to Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement, and shall
         pass to and be vested in the Transferors and, without limitation, the
         Transferors are hereby authorized and empowered to execute and deliver,
         on behalf of the Servicer, as attorneys-in-fact or otherwise, all
         documents and other instruments, and to do and accomplish all other
         acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such
         transfer of servicing rights. The Servicer agrees to cooperate with the
         Transferors in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and
         rights of the

                                       48
<PAGE>

         Servicer to conduct servicing of the Receivables. The Servicer shall
         transfer its electronic records relating to the Receivables to the
         Transferors or their designees in such electronic form as they may
         reasonably request and shall transfer all other records, correspondence
         and documents to them in the manner and at such times as they shall
         reasonably request. To the extent that compliance with this Section
         shall require the Servicer to disclose to the Transferors information
         of any kind which the Servicer deems to be confidential, the
         Transferors shall be required to enter into such customary licensing
         and confidentiality agreements as the Servicer shall deem necessary to
         protect its interests.

                  Section 7.03. Notification to Noteholders. Within five
Business Days after the Servicer becomes aware of any Servicer Default, the
Servicer shall give notice thereof to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, each
Rating Agency and each Series Enhancer and the Indenture Trustee shall give
notice to the Noteholders. Upon any termination or appointment of a Successor
Servicer pursuant to this Article, the Indenture Trustee shall give prompt
notice thereof to the Noteholders and each Series Enhancer.

respective obligations and responsibilities of the Trust, the Transferors and

duties described in Section 5.04, on the date the Trust is dissolved as provided
in Section 8.01 of the Trust Agreement.

                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

                  Section 9.01. Amendment; Waiver of Past Defaults.

                  (a) This Agreement may be amended by the parties hereto from
         time to time prior to, or in connection with, the issuance of the first
         Series of Notes hereunder without the requirement of any consents or
         the satisfaction of any conditions set forth below. This Agreement may
         be amended from time to time by the Servicer, the Transferors and the
         Trust, by a written instrument signed by each of them, without the
         consent of the Indenture Trustee or any of the Noteholders, provided
         that (i) the Transferors shall have delivered to the Indenture Trustee
         and the Owner Trustee an Officer's Certificate, dated the date of any
         such amendment, stating that the Transferors reasonably believe that
         such amendment will not have an Adverse Effect and (ii) the Rating
         Agency Condition shall have been satisfied with respect to any such
         amendment; provided, however, the Servicer, the Transferors and the
         Trust, may enter into one or more amendments, without the consent of
         the Indenture Trustee or the Holders of any Notes but with prior notice
         to the Rating Agencies (and provided that a final amendment to this
         Agreement signed by the parties hereto shall be delivered to each
         Rating Agency within 10 days of its execution) in order to (A) cure any
         ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision herein or in any
         amendment hereto that may be inconsistent with any other provision
         herein or in any amendment hereto, (B) to make any other provisions
         with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement or in
         any amendment hereto or (C) to assure that the transfer of assets under
         the Transaction Documents does not qualify for sale treatment under
         generally accepted accounting principles or, if so determined by the
         Transferors to qualify for sale treatment under generally accepted
         accounting principles; provided, that such amendment shall not have an
         Adverse Effect and, in the case of clause (C), the Transferors shall
         have delivered a Tax Opinion to the Indenture Trustee with respect to
         such amendment. Additionally, notwithstanding the preceding sentence,
         this Agreement will be amended by the Servicer and the Trust at the
         direction of the Transferors without the consent of the Indenture
         Trustee or any of the Noteholders or Series Enhancers to add, modify or
         eliminate such provisions as may be necessary or advisable in order to
         enable all or a portion of the Trust (i) to qualify as, and to permit
         an election to be made to cause the Trust to be treated as, a
         "financial asset securitization investment trust" as described in the
         provisions of Section 860L of the Code, and (ii) to avoid the
         imposition of state or local income or franchise taxes imposed on the
         Trust's property or its income; provided, however, that (i) the
         Transferors deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee an
         Officer's Certificate to the effect that the proposed amendments meet
         the requirements set forth in this subsection, (ii) each Rating Agency
         will have notified the Transferors, the Servicer, the Indenture Trustee
         and the Owner Trustee in writing that the amendment will not result in
         a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any outstanding Series or
         Class as to which it is a Rating Agency and (iii) such amendment does
         not affect the rights, duties or obligations of the Indenture Trustee
         or the Owner Trustee hereunder. The amendments which the Transferors
         may make without the consent of Noteholders or Series Enhancers
         pursuant to the preceding sentence may include, without limitation, the
         addition of a sale of Receivables.

                  (b) This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by
         the Servicer, the Transferors and the Trust, with the consent of the
         Holders of Outstanding Notes evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
         aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of all
         affected Series for which the Transferors have not delivered an
         Officer's Certificate stating that there is no Adverse Effect, for the
         purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or
         eliminating any of the provisions of this Agreement or of modifying in
         any manner the rights of the Noteholders; provided, however, that no
         such amendment shall (i) reduce in any manner the amount of or delay
         the timing of any distributions (changes in Amortization Events or
         Reinvestment Events that decrease the likelihood of the occurrence
         thereof shall not be considered delays in the timing of distributions
         for purposes of this clause)

                                       51
<PAGE>

         to be made to Noteholders or deposits of amounts to be so distributed
         or the amount available under any Series Enhancement without the
         consent of each affected Holder of Outstanding Notes, (ii) change the
         definition of or the manner of calculating the interest of any
         Noteholder without the consent of each affected Holder of Outstanding
         Notes, (iii) reduce the aforesaid percentage required to consent to any
         such amendment without the consent of each Holder of Outstanding Notes
         or (iv) adversely affect the rating of any Series or Class by any
         Rating Agency without the consent of the Holders of Outstanding Notes
         of such Series or Class evidencing not less than 66-2/3% of the
         aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding Notes of such
         Series or Class.

                  (c) Promptly after the execution of any such amendment or
         consent (other than an amendment pursuant to paragraph (a)), the Trust
         shall furnish notification of the substance of such amendment to the
         Indenture Trustee and each Noteholder, and the Servicer shall furnish
         notification of the substance of such amendment to each Rating Agency
         and each Series Enhancer.

                  (d) It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders
         under this Section 9.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed
         amendment, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the
         substance thereof. The manner of obtaining such consents and of
         evidencing the authorization of the execution thereof by Noteholders
         shall be subject to such reasonable requirements as the Indenture
         Trustee may prescribe.

                  (e) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 9.01 to the
         contrary, no amendment may be made to this Agreement or any
         Participation Interest Supplement which would adversely affect in any
         material respect the interests of any Series Enhancer without the
         consent of such Series Enhancer.

                  (f) Any Indenture Supplement executed in accordance with the
         provisions of Article X of the Indenture shall not be considered an
         amendment of this Agreement for the purposes of this Section 9.01.

                  (g) The Holders of Outstanding Notes evidencing more than
         66-2/3% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the Outstanding
         Notes of each Series or, with respect to any Series with two or more
         Classes, of each Class (or, with respect to any default that does not
         relate to all Series, 66-2/3% of the aggregate unpaid principal amount
         of the Outstanding Notes of each Series to which such default relates
         or, with respect to any such Series with two or more Classes, of each
         Class) may, on behalf of all Noteholders, waive any default by the
         Transferors or the Servicer in the performance of their obligations
         hereunder and its consequences, except the failure to make any
         distributions required to be made to Noteholders or to make any
         required deposits of any amounts to be so distributed. Upon any such
         waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any
         default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for
         every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any
         subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon
         except to the extent expressly so waived and provided that promptly
         after any such waiver the Servicer shall give written notice of the
         waiver including a description of the substance of the waiver to each
         Rating Agency.

                  (h) The Owner Trustee may, but shall not be obligated to,
         enter into any such amendment on behalf of the Trust which affects the
         Owner Trustee's rights, duties or immunities under this Agreement or
         otherwise. In connection with the execution of any amendment hereunder,
         the Owner Trustee shall be entitled to receive the Opinion of Counsel
         described in subsection 9.02(d).

         promptly recorded, registered and filed, and at all times to be kept
         recorded, registered and filed, all in such manner and in such places
         as may be required by law fully to preserve and protect the right,

                  (b) Within 30 days after any Transferor makes any change in

         financing statement or continuation statement filed in accordance with
         paragraph (a) seriously misleading within the meaning of Section
         9-402(7) (or any comparable provision) of the UCC, such Transferor
         shall give the Trust and the Indenture Trustee notice of any such
         change and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be
         necessary to continue the perfection of the Trust's security interest
         or ownership interest in the Receivables and the other Trust Assets.

                  (c) Each Transferor shall give the Trust and the Indenture
         Trustee prompt notice of any relocation of its chief executive office
         or any change in the jurisdiction of its organization and whether, as a
         result of such relocation or change, the applicable provisions of the
         UCC would require the filing of any amendment of any previously filed
         financing or continuation statement or of any new financing statement
         and shall file such financing statements or amendments as may be
         necessary to perfect or to continue the perfection of the Trust's
         security interest in the Receivables and the proceeds thereof. Each
         Transferor shall at all times maintain its chief executive offices
         within the United States and shall at all times be organized under the

         Accounts existing on the Additional Cut-Off Date and thereafter created

         Trustee, the Indenture Trustee, any Noteholders or any Series Enhancer
         of any obligation of the Servicer, the Transferor or any other Person
         in connection with the Accounts, the Receivables or under any agreement

                  the Additional Cut-Off Date and thereafter created in
                  Additional Accounts, meeting the requirements of applicable
                  state law in such manner and in such jurisdictions as are
                  necessary to perfect, and maintain perfection of, the sale and

                  and to deliver a file-stamped copy of each such financing
                  statement or other evidence of such filing to the Trust on or
                  prior to the Addition Date. The Trust shall be under no
                  obligation whatsoever to file such financing or continuation
                  statements or to make any other filing under the UCC in
                  connection with such sale and assignment.

                           (c) In connection with such sale, the Transferor
                  further agrees, at its own expense, on or prior to the date of

                  that Receivables created in connection with the Additional
                  Accounts and designated hereby have been conveyed to the Trust

                  security interest in all of its right, title and interest,
                  whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in and to the
                  Receivables of the Additional Accounts existing on the
                  Additional Cut-Off Date and thereafter created, all Recoveries
                  related thereto, all monies due or to become due and all
                  amounts received or receivable with respect thereto and all
                  "proceeds" (including "proceeds" as defined in the UCC)
                  thereof. This Assignment constitutes a security agreement
                  under the UCC.

                  4. Acceptance by the Trust. The Trust hereby acknowledges its
         acceptance of all right, title and interest to the property, now
         existing and hereafter created, conveyed to the Trust pursuant to
         Section 3 of this Assignment. The Trust further acknowledges that,
         prior to or simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this
         Assignment, the Transferor delivered to the Owner Trustee the computer
         file, microfiche list or printed list described in Section 2 of this
         Assignment.

                  5. Representations and Warranties of the Transferor. The
         Transferor hereby represents and warrants to the Trust, as of the date
         of this Assignment and as of the Addition Date that:

                           (a) Legal Valid and Binding Obligation. This
                  Assignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
                  of the Transferor enforceable against the Transferor in
                  accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
                  be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
                  reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or
                  hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors'
                  rights in general and except as such enforceability may be
                  limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in
                  a suit at law or in equity);

                           (b) Eligibility of Accounts. As of the Additional
                  Cut-Off Date, each Additional Account designated hereby is an
                  Eligible Account;

<PAGE>

                           (c) Insolvency. As of each of the Additional Cut-Off
                  Date and the Addition Date, no Insolvency Event with respect
                  to the Transferor has occurred and the transfer by the
                  Transferor of Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts
                  to the Trust has not been made in contemplation of the
                  occurrence thereof;

                           (d) Amortization Event; Event of Default. The
                  Transferor reasonably believes that (A) the addition of the
                  Receivables arising in the Additional Accounts will not, based
                  on the facts known to the Transferor, then or thereafter cause
                  an Amortization Event or Event of Default to occur with
                  respect to any Series and (B) no selection procedure was
                  utilized by the Transferor which would result in the selection
                  of Additional Accounts (from among the available Eligible
                  Accounts available to the Transferor) that would be materially
                  adverse to the interests of the Noteholders of any Series as
                  of the Addition Date;

                           (e) Security Interest. This Assignment [constitutes a
                  valid sale, transfer and assignment to the Trust of all right,
                  title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired,
                  of the Transferor in the Receivables existing on the
                  Additional Cut-Off Date and thereafter created in the
                  Additional Accounts, all Recoveries related thereto, all
                  monies due or to become due and all amounts received or
                  receivable with respect thereto and the "proceeds" (including
                  "proceeds" as defined in the UCC) thereof, or, if this
                  Assignment does not constitute a sale of such property, it]
                  constitutes a grant of a "security interest" (as defined in
                  the UCC) in such property to the Trust, which, in the case of
                  existing Receivables and the proceeds thereof, is enforceable
                  upon execution and delivery of this Assignment, and which will
                  be enforceable with respect to such Receivables hereafter
                  created and the proceeds thereof upon such creation. Upon the
                  filing of the financing statements described in Section 3 of
                  this Assignment and, in the case of the Receivables hereafter
                  created and the proceeds thereof, upon the creation thereof,
                  the Trust shall have a first priority perfected security or
                  ownership interest in such property;

                           (f) No Conflict. The execution and delivery by the
                  Transferor of this Assignment, the performance of the
                  transactions contemplated by this Assignment and the
                  fulfillment of the terms hereof applicable to the Transferor,
                  will not conflict with or violate any Requirements of Law
                  applicable to the Transferor or conflict with, result in any
                  breach of any of the material terms and provisions of, or
                  constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both) a
                  material default under, any indenture, contract, agreement,
                  mortgage, deed of trust or other instrument to which the
                  Transferor is a party or by which it or its properties are
                  bound;

                           (g) No Proceedings. There are no proceedings or
                  investigations, pending or, to the best knowledge of the
                  Transferor, threatened against the Transferor before any
                  court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
                  tribunal or governmental instrumentality (i) asserting the
                  invalidity of this Assignment, (ii) seeking to prevent the
                  consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
                  Assignment, (iii) seeking any determination or ruling that, in
                  the reasonable judgment of the Transferor, would materially
                  and adversely affect the performance by the Transferor of its
                  obligations under this Assignment or (iv) seeking any
                  determination or ruling that would materially and adversely
                  affect the validity or enforceability of this Assignment; and

                           (h) All Consents. All authorizations, consents,
                  orders or approvals of any court or other governmental
                  authority required to be obtained by the Transferor in
                  connection with the execution and delivery of this Assignment
                  by the Transferor and the performance of the transactions
                  contemplated by this Assignment by the Transferor, have been
                  obtained.

         Removal Date:

                           (a) Legal Valid and Binding Obligation. This
                  Reassignment constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation
                  of the Transferor enforceable against the Transferor, in
                  accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may
                  be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
                  reorganization, moratorium or other similar laws now or
                  hereafter in effect affecting the enforcement of creditors'
                  rights in general and except as such enforceability may be
                  limited by general principles of equity (whether considered in
                  a suit at law or in equity); and

                           (b) Amortization Event; Event of Default. The
                  Transferor reasonably believes that (A) the removal of the
                  Receivables existing in the Removed Accounts will not, based
                  on the facts known to the Transferor, then or thereafter cause

                           FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
                           WITH RESPECT TO AMENDMENTS

                          Provisions to be included in
                   Opinion of Counsel to be delivered pursuant
                              to Section 9.02(d)(i)

                  The opinions set forth below may be subject to all the
qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions taken or made in the
Opinions Of Counsel delivered on any applicable Closing Date.

                  (i) The amendment to the Transfer and Servicing Agreement,
         attached hereto as Schedule 1 (the "Amendment" ), has been duly
         authorized, executed and delivered by the Transferor and constitutes
         the legal, valid and binding agreement of the Transferor, enforceable
         in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be

         moratorium or other laws from time to time in effect affecting
         creditors' rights generally. The enforceability of the Transferor's
         obligations is also subject to general principles of equity (regardless

                           FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
                            WITH RESPECT TO ACCOUNTS

                          Provisions to be included in
                            Opinion of Counsel to be
                              delivered pursuant to
                         subsection 9.02(d)(ii) or (iii)

                  The opinions set forth below may be subject to all the
qualifications, assumptions, limitations and exceptions taken or made in the
Opinions of Counsel delivered on any applicable Closing Date.

         the transfer of the Additional Receivables and the proceeds thereof by
         [the Account Owner] to the Transferor pursuant to the Supplemental
         Conveyance, the Supplemental Conveyance creates in favor of the
         transferor a security interest in the rights of [the Account Owner] in
         such Additional Receivables and the proceeds thereof.

                  2. To the extent that the transfer of Additional Receivables
         by the Transferor to the Trust pursuant to the Assignment does not
         constitute an absolute assignment by the Transferor to the Trust of
         such Additional Receivables or the proceeds thereof, the Assignment
         creates in favor of the Trust a security interest in the rights of the
         Transferor in such Additional Receivables and the proceeds thereof.

                  3. The security interests described in paragraphs 1 and 2
         above are perfected and of first priority.

         of the relevant Transferor's rights in the Receivables identified in

         the Trust under the Related Agreements and shall perform such
         calculations and shall prepare for execution by the Trust and shall
         cause the preparation by other appropriate persons of all such
         documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as
         it shall be the duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee to prepare, file
         or deliver pursuant to the Related Agreements, and at the request of
         the Trust or the Owner Trustee shall take all appropriate action that
         it is the duty of the Trust or the Owner Trustee to take pursuant to

         shall be in accordance with any directions received from the Trust and
         shall be, in the Administrator's opinion, no less favorable to the
         Trust than would be available from unaffiliated parties.

                  (iv) It is the intention of the parties hereto that the
         Administrator shall, and the Administrator hereby agrees to, prepare,

         proposed action and the Owners shall not have withheld consent or
         provided an alternative direction. For the purpose of the preceding

Noteholders or the Owners; provided, however, that, without the consent of the
Holders of all of the Notes then outstanding, no such amendment shall (a)
increase or reduce in any manner the amount of, or accelerate or delay the
timing of, collections of payments on the Receivables or distributions that are
required to be made for the benefit of the Noteholders or (b) reduce the
aforesaid portion of the Outstanding Amount of the Notes, the Holders of which
are required to consent to any such amendment

         Prior to the execution of any such amendment or consent, the
Administrator shall furnish written notification of the substance of such
amendment or consent to each Rating Agency. Promptly after the execution of any
such amendment or consent, the Administrator shall furnish written notification
of the substance of such amendment or consent to the Indenture Trustee.

         It shall not be necessary for the consent of Noteholders pursuant to
this Section 11 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment or
consent, but it shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance
thereof.

         Section 12. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned
by the Administrator unless such assignment is previously consented to in
writing by the Trust, the Owners and the Owner Trustee and subject to the
satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition in respect thereof. An assignment
with such consent and satisfaction, if accepted by the assignee, shall bind the
assignee hereunder in the same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be assigned by the
Administrator without the consent of the Trust, the Owners, the Owner Trustee or
the Rating Agencies to a corporation or other organization that is a successor
(by merger, consolidation or purchase of assets) to the Administrator, provided
that such successor organization executes and delivers to the Trust, the Owners
and the Owner Trustee an agreement in which such corporation or other
organization agrees to be bound hereunder by the terms of said assignment in the
same manner as the Administrator is bound hereunder. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement shall bind any successors or assigns of the parties hereto.

         Section 13. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REFERENCE TO ITS
CONFLICT OF LAW PROVISIONS AND THE OBLIGATIONS, RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF THE
PARTIES HEREUNDER SHALL BE DETERMINED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SUCH LAWS.

         Section 14. Headings. The section headings hereof have been inserted
for convenience of reference only and shall not be construed to affect the
meaning, construction or effect of this Agreement.

         Section 15. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in
counterparts, each of which when so executed shall together constitute but one
and the same agreement.

         Section 16. Severability. Any provision of this Agreement that is
prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective to the
extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any
other jurisdiction.

         Section 17. Not Applicable to Conseco Bank in Other Capacities. Nothing
in this Agreement shall affect any obligation the Bank may have in any other
capacity.

         Section 18. Limitation of Liability of Owner Trustee. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, this instrument has been signed by
Wilmington Trust Company not in its individual capacity but solely in its
capacity as Owner Trustee of the Trust and in no event shall Wilmington Trust
Company in its individual capacity or any beneficial owner of the Trust have any
liability for the representations, warranties, covenants, agreements or other
obligations of the Trust hereunder, as to all of which recourse shall be had
solely to the assets of the Trust. For all purposes of this Agreement, in the
performance of any duties or obligations of the Trust hereunder, the Owner
Trustee shall be subject to, and entitled to the benefits of, the terms and
provisions of Articles IV, V, VI and VII of the Trust Agreement.

         Section 19. Third-Party Beneficiary.

         The Owner Trustee is a third-party beneficiary to this Agreement and is
entitled to the rights and benefits hereunder and may enforce the provisions
hereof as if it were a party hereto.

         Section 20. Nonpetition Covenants. Notwithstanding any prior
termination of this Agreement, the Administrator shall not at any time with
respect to the Trust or the Transferors acquiesce, petition or otherwise invoke
or cause the Trust or the Transferors to invoke the process of any court or
government authority for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case against
the Trust or the Transferors under any Federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency
or similar law or appointing a receiver, conservator, liquidator, assignee,
trustee, custodian, sequestrator or other similar official of the Trust or the
Transferors or any substantial part of its property, or ordering the winding up
or liquidation of the affairs of the Trust or the Transferors; provided,
however, that this Section 20 shall not operate to preclude any remedy described
in Article V of the Indenture.

         Section 21. Successor Administrator. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 8 of this Agreement, in the event of a servicing transfer pursuant to
Article V of the Transfer and Servicing Agreement, the successor servicer under
the Transfer and Servicing Agreement shall, upon the date of such servicing
transfer, become the successor Administrator hereunder provided that the
successor Administrator shall have agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of
this Agreement in the same manner as the initial Administrator is bound, but
otherwise shall not be required to comply with the provisions of Section 8 of
this Agreement. "Administrator" shall mean initially Conseco Bank, Inc. and
thereafter its permitted successor and assigns as provided in Section 12 or any
successor Administrator as provided in this Section 21.
