---------------------- (1) Solely for purposes of Treas. Reg. 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii), a hypothetical Payment Date in the month approximately 12 months following the month of the maturity date for the Loan with the latest maturity date has been designated as the "latest possible maturity date" for each class of interests that represents one or more of the "regular interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC. The Seller does not represent that any Class of Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests or Class P(F) or Class P(V) Interest will, in fact, mature on any given date, except that each regular 2-11 interest of the Subsidiary REMIC will absolutely mature by the Assumed Final Maturity Date as indicated above. Solely for federal income tax purposes, the Subsidiary REMIC will issue a Class R-I Interest, which is hereby designated by the Seller as the sole class of "residual interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC for purposes of Section 860G(a)(2) of the Code. (e) For any purpose for which the Group I Net WAC Cap Rate and the Adjusted Group II Net WAC Cap Rate are calculated, the interest rate on the Loans shall be appropriately adjusted to account for the difference between the monthly day count convention of the Loans (simple interest which is the same as an actual/actual convention) and the month day count convention of the regular interest issued by each REMIC created hereunder. For purposes of calculating the Net WAC Cap Rate and Adjusted Net WAC Cap Rate, for each of the interests issued by the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC and the Master REMIC, such rates shall be adjusted to equal a month day count convention based on the actual number of days in the preceding Due Period and a 360 day year so that the Loans and all regular interests created hereunder will be using the same monthly day count convention. (f) The Closing Date, which is the day on which each of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC and the Master REMIC will issue all of its regular and residual interests, is hereby designated as the "startup day" of each of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC and the Master REMIC within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of the Code. (g) After the Closing Date, neither the Trustee, the Originator, the Seller nor any Servicer shall: (i) accept any contribution of assets to the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC, (ii) dispose of any portion of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC, other than as provided in Sections 3.06, 3.08 and 8.06, (iii) engage in any transaction that results in a tax described in Sections 860F(a)(2) and (5) of the Code, except as may be contemplated by Section 3.07, (iv) accept any contribution after the Closing Date that is subject to the tax imposed by Section 860G(d) of the Code or (v) engage in any activity or enter into any agreement that would result in the receipt by the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC of any "net income from foreclosure property" as defined in Section 860G(c)(2) of the Code, unless, prior to any such action set forth in clauses (i), (ii), (iii), (iv) or (v) the Trustee shall have received an unqualified Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall not be an expense of the Trust, stating that such action will not, directly or indirectly, (A) adversely affect the status of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC as a REMIC or the 2-12 status of the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests or Class P Certificate as "regular interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the Class R-I Interest as the sole class of "residual interests" in the Subsidiary REMIC, the status of the Uncertificated Intermediate Interests as "regular interests" in the Intermediate REMIC, the status of the Class R-II Interest as the sole class of "residual interests" in the Intermediate REMIC, the status of the Regular Certificates and the Uncertificated Master Interest as "regular interests" in the Master REMIC, or the status of the Class R-III Interest as the sole class of "residual interests" in the Master REMIC, (B) affect the distributions payable hereunder to the Certificateholders, or (C) result in the imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC. (h) Upon the acquisition of any real property (including interests in real property), or any personal property incident thereto, in connection with the default of a Loan, the Servicer and the Trustee (at the direction of the Servicer) shall take, or cause to be taken, such action as is necessary to sell or otherwise dispose of such property within such period as is then required by the Code in order for such property to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, unless the Servicer and the Trustee receive an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the holding by the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC of such property subsequent to the period then permitted by the Code will not result in the imposition of any taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC, as defined in Section 860F of the Code, or cause the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests, Class P Certificate, Class R Certificate, Uncertificated Intermediate Interests, Regular Certificates or Uncertificated Master Interest are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate such real property, or any personal property incident thereto, so that such property will not fail to qualify as "foreclosure property," as defined in Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code, and that the management, conservation, protection and operation of such property will not result in the receipt by the Subsidiary REMIC, the Intermediate REMIC or the Master REMIC of any "income from nonpermitted assets," within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code. SECTION 2.06 Seller Option to Substitute for Prepaid Loans. The Seller may, at its option, substitute new loans for Loans as to which a Principal Prepayment in Full has been received by the Servicer prior to October 1, 2002 ("Prepaid Loans"), up to a maximum of 5% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance, upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Seller shall have conveyed to the Trustee the Loan to be substituted for the Prepaid Loan and the Loan File related to such Loan and the Seller shall have marked the Electronic Ledger indicating that such Loan constitutes part of the Trust; 2-13 (ii) the Loan to be substituted is an Eligible Substitute Loan and the Seller delivers an Officers' Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-3 hereto, to the Trustee certifying that such Loan is an Eligible Substitute Loan; (iii) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee evidence of filing of a UCC-1 financing statement executed by the Seller as debtor, naming the Trustee as secured party and filed in Minnesota, listing such Loan to be substituted as collateral; (iv) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an executed assignment to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust in recordable form for the mortgage securing such Loan to be substituted; (v) such substitution shall be accomplished prior to the Determination Date immediately following the calendar month in which the Principal Prepayment in Full was received by the Servicer, and no such substitution shall take place after September 14, 2002. (vi) the Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (A) to the effect that the substitution of such Loan for such Prepaid Loan will not cause the Master, Intermediate or Subsidiary REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time under then applicable REMIC Provisions or cause any "prohibited transaction" that will result in the imposition of a tax under such REMIC Provisions, and (B) to the effect of paragraph 9 of Exhibit F hereto; and (vii) if the Principal Prepayment received in respect of such Prepaid Loan is greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loan to be substituted, such excess shall be distributed to Certificateholders on the related Payment Date as a prepayment of principal. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Loan to be substituted to the List of Loans. Any substitutions pursuant to this Section 2.06 may be accomplished on a loan-by-loan basis or on an aggregate basis as to all Prepaid Loans with respect to a given calendar month. SECTION 2.07 Conveyance of Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests and Uncertificated Intermediate Interests. (a) The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Uncertificated Subsidiary Interests for the benefit of the Holders of the Uncertificated Intermediate Interests and the Holder of the Class R-II Interest.

(b) The Seller, concurrently with the execution and delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey in trust to the Trustee without recourse all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the Uncertificated Intermediate Interests for the benefit of the holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R-III Interest. The Trustee acknowledges receipt of the Uncertificated Intermediate Interests (which are uncertificated) and declares that it holds and will hold the same in trust for the exclusive use and benefit of the holders of the Regular Certificates and the Class R-III Interest. The Class R-III Interest, together with the Regular Certificates, constitute the entire beneficial ownership interest in the Master REMIC. 2-15 ARTICLE III REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES The Seller and the Originator make the following representations and warranties. The Trustee will rely on the representations and warranties in accepting the Loans in trust and issuing the Certificates and the Class R Certificate on behalf of the Trust.

SECTION 3.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Loan.

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

The Originator has good and marketable title to the Loan, free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, loan, pledge, charge, claim, lien or encumbrance of any type and has full right to transfer the Loan to the Seller. (n) No Defaults. As of the applicable Cut-off Date, there was no default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration existing under the Loan and no event which, with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute such a default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration under such Loan (except payment delinquencies permitted by clause (b) or (c) above). The Originator has not waived any such default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration except payment delinquencies permitted by clause (b) above. (o) Equal Installments. The Loan provides for monthly payments (except, in the case of a Balloon Loan, for the final monthly payment of such Loan) which fully amortize the Loan over its term. (p) Enforceability.

Any such cash so deposited shall be distributed to Certificateholders and the Class R Certificateholder on the immediately following Payment Date as a collection of principal or interest on such Loan, according to the nature of the deficiency or discrepancy. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Originator under this Section shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VII. (b) On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing Date, the Originator may, at its election, substitute an Eligible Substitute Loan for a Loan that it is obligated to repurchase pursuant to Section 3.06(a) (such Loan being referred to as the "Replaced Loan") upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (i) the Originator shall have conveyed to the Seller the Loan to be substituted for the Replaced Loan and the Loan File related to such Loan and the Originator shall have marked the Electronic Ledger indicating that such Loan constitutes part of the Trust; (ii) the Loan to be substituted is an Eligible Substitute Loan and the Originator delivers an Officers' Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit J-2 hereto, to the Trustee certifying that such Loan is an Eligible Substitute Loan; (iii) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee evidence of filing of a UCC-1 financing statement identifying the Originator as debtor, naming the Seller as secured party and filed in Delaware, listing such Loan to be substituted as collateral; (iv) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an executed assignment to the Seller and to the Trustee on behalf of the Trust in recordable form for the mortgage securing such Loan to be substituted; (v) the Originator shall have delivered to the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel (A) to the effect that the substitution of such Loan for such Replaced Loan will not cause any applicable portion of the Trust to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time under then applicable REMIC Provisions or cause any "prohibited transaction" that will result in the imposition of a tax under such REMIC Provisions and (B) to the effect of paragraph 9 of Exhibit F hereto; and (vi) if the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced Loan is greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of the Loan to be substituted, the Originator shall have delivered to the Seller for deposit in the Certificate 3-11 Account the amount of such excess and shall have included in the Officers' Certificate required by clause (ii) above a certification that such deposit has been made. Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such Loan to be substituted to, and delete such Replaced Loan from, the List of Loans.

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

SECTION 3.07 No Repurchase Under Certain Circumstances. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, no repurchase or substitution pursuant to Section 3.06 shall be made unless the Originator (at its own expense) obtains for the Trustee an Opinion of Counsel addressed to the Trustee that any such repurchase or substitution would not, under the REMIC Provisions, (i) cause the Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC, or Subsidiary REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC while any regular interest in such REMIC is outstanding, (ii) result in a tax on prohibited transactions within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code, or (iii) constitute a contribution after the startup day subject to tax under Section 860G(d) of the Code. 3-12 The Originator shall diligently attempt to obtain such Opinion of Counsel.

Pursuant to Section 6.06, the Servicer is hereby directed to withhold, and shall withhold and pay over to the Trustee, an amount sufficient to pay such tax and any other taxes imposed on "prohibited transactions" under Section 860F(a)(i) of the Code or imposed on "contributions after startup date" under Section 860G(d) of the Code from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R Certificateholder. The Servicer shall give notice to the Trustee at the time of such repurchase of the amounts due from the Originator pursuant to the guarantee of the Originator described above and give notice as to who should receive such payment. The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any such amounts pursuant to this Section other than from moneys provided to it by the Originator or from moneys held in the funds and accounts created under this Agreement. The Trustee shall be deemed conclusively to have complied with this Section if it follows the directions of the Originator. In the event any tax that is guaranteed by the Originator pursuant to this Section 3.07 is refunded to the Trust or otherwise is determined not to be payable, the Originator shall be repaid the amount of such refund or that portion of any guarantee payment made by the Originator that is not applied to the payment of such tax.

The Servicer and the Trustee shall in no way be liable for losses on amounts invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Certificate Account not so invested must be insured to the extent permitted by law by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. "Eligible Investments" are any of the following: (i) direct obligations of, and obligations fully guaranteed by, the United States of America, or any agency or instrumentality of the United States of America the obligations of which are backed by the full faith and credit of the United States of America; (ii) (A) demand and time deposits in, certificates of deposit of, bankers' acceptances issued by, or federal funds sold by any depository institution or trust company (including the Trustee or any Affiliate of the Trustee, acting in its commercial capacity) incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any state thereof and subject to supervision and examination by federal and/or state authorities, so long as, at the time of such investment or contractual commitment providing for such investment, the commercial paper or other short-term debt obligations of such depository institution or trust company are rated, if rated by such rating company, at least A-1+ by S&P and P-1 by Moody's, and 5-3 (B) any other demand or time deposit or certificate of deposit which is fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation; (iii) shares of an investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, whose shares are registered under the Securities Act of 1933 and have a rating of AAA by S&P and Aaa by Moody's, and whose only investments are in securities described in clauses (i) and (ii) above; (iv) repurchase obligations with respect to (A) any security described in clause (i) above or (B) any other security issued or guaranteed by an agency or instrumentality of the United States of America, in either case entered into with a depository institution or trust company (acting as principal) described in clause (ii)(A) above; (v) securities that have been rated, if rated by such rating company, at least A-1+ by S&P and P-1 from Moody's, and bearing interest or sold at a discount issued by any corporation incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or any State thereof which have a credit rating, if rated by such rating company, of at least AA from S&P and Aa2 from Moody's; provided, however, that securities issued by any particular corporation will not be Eligible Investments to the extent that investment therein will cause the then outstanding principal amount of securities issued by such corporation and held as part of the corpus of the Trust to exceed 10% of amounts held in the Certificate Account; (vi) commercial paper having a rating, if rated by such rating company, of at least A-1+ from S&P and P-1 from Moody's at the time of such investment; (vii) money market funds rated at least AAAm or AAAm-G by S&P ; and (viii) other obligations or securities that are acceptable to each of the Rating Agencies as an Eligible Investment hereunder and will not reduce the rating assigned to any Class of Certificates by each of the Rating Agencies below the lower of the then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the Closing Date by each of the Rating Agencies, as evidenced in writing; provided, that, any such investment must constitute a "cash flow investment" within the meaning of the REMIC Provisions. The Trustee may trade with itself or an Affiliate in the purchase or sale of such Eligible Investments. The Servicer acknowledges that to the extent that regulations of the Comptroller of the Currency or other applicable regulatory agency grant the Servicer the right to receive brokerage confirmations of security transactions as they occur, the Servicer specifically waives receipt of such confirmations; provided, that, such confirmations shall begin to be provided to the Backup Servicer upon its replacement of the Servicer. 5-4 (c) If at any time the Trustee receives notice (from any of the Rating Agencies, the Servicer or otherwise) that the Certificate Account has ceased to be an Eligible Account, the Trustee shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than five Business Days of the Trustee's receipt of such notice, transfer the Certificate Account and all funds and Eligible Investments therein to an Eligible Account. Following any such transfer, the Trustee shall notify each of the Rating Agencies, the Backup Servicer and the Servicer of the location of the Certificate Account. SECTION 5.06 Enforcement. (a) The Servicer shall, consistent with customary servicing procedures, act with respect to the Loans in such manner as will in the Servicer's reasonable judgment maximize the receipt of principal and interest on such Loans and Liquidation Proceeds with respect to Liquidated Loans. The Servicer shall exercise its discretion, consistent with customary servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement, with respect to the enforcement of defaulted Loans in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and interest with respect thereto, including but not limited to the sale of such Loan to a third party, the modification of such Loan, or foreclosure upon the related real property and disposition thereof. (b) In accordance with the standard of care specified in Section 5.02, the Servicer may, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust, commence proceedings for the foreclosure of any subject real estate, or may take such other steps that in the Servicer's reasonable judgment will maximize Liquidation Proceeds with respect to the Loan, including, for example, the sale of the Loan to a third party for foreclosure or enforcement and, in the case of any default on a related prior mortgage loan, the advancing of funds to correct such default and the advancing of funds to pay off a related prior mortgage loan, which advances are Liquidation Expenses that will be reimbursed to the Servicer out of related Liquidation Proceeds before the related Net Liquidation Proceeds are paid to Certificateholders and the Class R Certificateholder. The Servicer shall also deposit in the Certificate Account any Net Liquidation Proceeds received in connection with any Loan which became a Liquidated Loan in a prior Due Period. (c) The Servicer may sue to enforce or collect upon Loans, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust. If the Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Loan, the act of commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Loan to the Servicer for purposes of collection only. If, however, in any enforcement suit or legal proceeding it is held that the Servicer may not enforce a Loan on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to enforce the Loan, the Trustee on behalf of the Trust shall, at the Servicer's expense for which it will be reimbursed by the Trust, take such steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Loan, including bringing suit in its name or the names of the Certificateholders and the Class R Certificateholder. (d) The Servicer may grant to the Obligor on any Loan any rebate, refund or adjustment out of the Certificate Account that the Servicer in good faith believes is required because of the Principal Prepayment in Full of the Loan. The Servicer will not permit any rescission or cancellation of any Loan. (e) The Servicer shall enforce any due-on-sale clause in a Loan if such enforcement is called for under its then current servicing policies for obligations similar to the Loans, 5-5 provided, that, such enforcement is permitted by applicable law and will not adversely affect any applicable insurance policy. If an assumption of a Loan is permitted by the Servicer, upon conveyance of the related property the Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain an assumption agreement in connection therewith. (f) Any provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, the Servicer shall not agree to the modification or waiver of any provision of a Loan at a time when such Loan is not in default or such default is not reasonably foreseeable, if such modification or waiver would both (i) be treated as a taxable exchange under Section 1001 of the Code or any proposed, temporary or final Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder and (ii) cause the Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC or Subsidiary REMIC to fail to qualify as a REMIC or cause the imposition of any tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions after the startup date" under the REMIC Provisions. SECTION 5.07 Trustee to Cooperate. (a) Upon payment in full on any Loan, the Servicer will notify the Trustee and Conseco Finance Corp. (if Conseco Finance Corp. is not the Servicer) on the next succeeding Payment Date by certification of a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 5.05 have been so deposited and may be in substantially the form of Exhibit J-4 hereto) and shall request delivery of the Loan and Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt of such delivery and request, the Trustee shall promptly release or cause to be released such Loan and Loan File to the Servicer. Upon receipt of such Loan and Loan File, each of Conseco Finance Corp. (if different from the Servicer) and the Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in satisfaction of such Loan and to do such other acts and execute such other documents as the Servicer deems necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder and eliminate any lien on the related real estate. The Servicer shall determine when a Loan has been paid in full; provided, that, to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Loan credited by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds, without any right of reimbursement therefor (except from additional amounts recovered from the related Obligor or otherwise in respect of such Loan), and deposited in the Certificate Account. (b) From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosing in connection with a Loan, the Trustee shall, upon written request of a Servicing Officer (which may be substantially in the form of Exhibit J-4 hereto) and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by such Servicing Officer, cause the original Loan and the related Loan File to be released to the Servicer and shall execute such documents as the Servicer shall deem necessary to the prosecution of any such proceedings. The Trustee shall stamp the face of each such Loan to be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Loan has been assigned to the Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the Certificateholders' and Class R Certificateholder's rights and remedies with respect to Loans. (c) The Servicer's receipt of a Loan and/or Loan File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Loan and the related Loan File to the Trustee when its need by the Servicer 5-6 has ceased unless the Loan shall be liquidated or repurchased or replaced as described in Section 3.06 or Section 8.06. SECTION 5.08 Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder, including payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of Loans, foreclosure upon real estate securing any such Loans and all other fees and expenses not expressly stated hereunder to be for the account of the Trust or the Originator, and, while the Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is the Servicer, payment of the Trustee's fees pursuant to Section 8.06 and fees and expenses of accountants, shall be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement hereunder, except as provided in this Section and except that the Servicer shall be reimbursed for any Liquidation Expense not in excess of the Related Proceeds pursuant to Section 8.04(a)(ii). The Servicer shall not incur any Liquidation Expense unless it determines in its good faith business judgment that (i) incurring such expense will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds on the related Loan, and (ii) that the Liquidation Expense, if incurred, would not constitute a Non-Recoverable Liquidation Expense. Any Liquidation Expense previously incurred by the Servicer that is determined by the Servicer to have become a Non-Recoverable Liquidation Expense shall be reported on the related Monthly Report. The Trustee shall not be responsible for determining whether any such determination was reasonable. In the case of Conseco Finance, but not the Backup Servicer or any successor Servicer, reimbursement for Liquidation Expenses incurred in connection with filing claims in bankruptcy proceedings for those Loans for which no Liquidation Proceeds are ultimately received shall not exceed $500 per loan or $50,000 in the aggregate. So long as the Servicer is not the Originator or a subsidiary or Affiliate of the Originator, the Servicer shall be reimbursed from the Trust for any third-party costs incurred by it pursuant to Sections 5.12, 6.06, 7.02 or 11.06. The Backup Servicer shall also be reimbursed from the Trust for all extraordinary costs and expenses and all reimbursed costs and expenses shall be paid to the Backup Servicer under Section 8.04(b)(i). SECTION 5.09 Maintenance of Insurance. The Servicer shall at all times keep in force a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement, and a fidelity bond. Such policy or policies and such fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount as is generally customary among persons who service a portfolio of home equity loans having an aggregate principal amount of $10,000,000 or more, and which are generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional investors. The Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to the real property securing a Loan hazard insurance (excluding flood insurance coverage) if such Loan is secured by a first priority mortgage, deed of trust or security deed or the initial principal balance of such Loan exceeds $20,000. SECTION 5.10 Merger or Consolidation of Servicer. Any Person into which the Servicer may be merged or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer shall be a party shall be the successor of the Servicer hereunder, provided, however, that such Person shall be an Eligible Servicer, without the execution or filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto, anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding. The Servicer shall promptly notify each of the Rating Agencies and the Backup Servicer in the event it is a party to any merger, conversion or consolidation. 5-7 SECTION 5.11 Advance Facility. (a) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, a "P&I Advance Facility"), the documentation for which complies with Section 5.11(e) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Advances to a special-purpose bankruptcy-remote entity (an "SPV"), which in turn, directly or through other assignees and/or pledges, assigns or pledges such rights to a Person, which may include a trustee acting on behalf of holders of debt instruments (any such Person, an "Advance Financing Person"), and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund some or all Advances required to be made by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before the Servicer may enter into a P&I Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any P&I Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Advances on the Servicer's behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to make Advances pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such P&I Advance Facility. If the Servicer enters into a P&I Advance Facility, and for so long as an Advance Financing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Advances outstanding and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, then the Servicer shall not be permitted to reimburse itself for Advances, pursuant to Section 8.04(b)(ii) of this Agreement, but instead the Servicer's assignee and designee (the "Servicer's Assignee") shall have the right to receive from the Trustee from amounts in the Certificate Account collections that the Servicer would otherwise have the right to receive from the Certificate Account, pursuant to Section 8.04(b)(ii) of this Agreement, amounts available to reimburse previously unreimbursed Advances ("P&I Reimbursement Amounts"). (b) If the Servicer enters into a P&I Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice of the existence of such P&I Advance Facility (a "P&I Advance Facility Notice"), stating the identity of the Advance Financing Person and the related Servicer's Assignee, and specifying what Advances are covered by the P&I Advance Facility. A P&I Advance Facility may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the applicable Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. (c) P&I Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Advances made with respect to the Delinquent Payments for which the Servicer would be permitted to reimbursement in accordance with Section 8.04(b)(ii) hereof, assuming the Servicer had made the related Advance(s). (d) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of rights to receive P&I Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification as an Eligible Servicer. (e) The documentation establishing any P&I Advance Facility shall require that P&I Reimbursement Amounts be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Advances on a "first-in, first out" ("FIFO") basis. In the event that, as a result of this FIFO allocation, some or all of a P&I Reimbursement Amount related to Advances that were made by a Person other than Conseco 5-8 Finance Corp. or the Advance Financing Person, then the Servicer's Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such P&I Reimbursement Amount to each person entitled to such portion of such P&I Reimbursement Amount. At any time when the Advance Financing Person shall have ceased funding Advances, including without limitation a servicing transfer pursuant to Article VII, and the Servicer's Assignee shall have received from the Certificate Account P&I Reimbursement Amounts sufficient to reimburse all Advances, the right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the Servicer's Assignee, then the Servicer's Assignee and the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer shall deliver a written notice to the Trustee terminating the P&I Advance Facility, whereupon the applicable Servicer shall again be entitled to receive from the Trustee the related P&I Reimbursement Amounts from the Certificate Account pursuant to Section 8.04(b)(ii). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to be reimbursed by the Advance Financing Person for all Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related P&I Reimbursement Amount(s) have not been assigned or pledged to an Advance Financing Person or related Servicer's Assignee. By way of illustration, and not by way of limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Servicer who is a party to a P&I Advance Facility resigns or is terminated, and is replaced by a successor Servicer, and the successor Servicer directly funds Advances and does not assign or pledge the related P&I Reimbursement Amounts to an Advance Financing Person, then after all P&I Reimbursement Amounts that are owed to the predecessor Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person, which were made prior to any advances made by the successor Servicer, have been reimbursed in full, then the successor Servicer shall be entitled to receive all P&I Reimbursement Amounts collected with respect to the Loans. (f) The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a financing or other facility (any such arrangement, a "CLEAR Advance Facility"), the documentation for which complies with Section 5.11(j) below, under which (1) the Servicer assigns or pledges its rights under this Agreement to be reimbursed for any or all Liquidation Expenses incurred by it as to which it is entitled to reimbursement pursuant to Section 8.04(a)(ii) (a "Servicer Expense Advance") to an SPV, which in turn, directly or through other assignees and/or pledges, assigns or pledges such rights to an Advance Financing Person, and/or (2) an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund some or all Servicer Expense Advances required to be incurred by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. No consent of the Trustee, Certificateholders or any other party is required before the Servicer may enter into a CLEAR Advance Facility. Notwithstanding the existence of any CLEAR Advance Facility under which an Advance Financing Person agrees to fund Servicer Expense Advances on the Servicer's behalf, the Servicer shall remain obligated pursuant to this Agreement to incur Liquidation Expenses pursuant to and as required by this Agreement, and shall not be relieved of such obligations by virtue of such Advance Facility. If the Servicer enters into a CLEAR Advance Facility, and for so long as a CLEAR Advance Financing Person remains entitled to receive reimbursement for any Servicer Expense Advances incurred and previously unreimbursed pursuant to this Agreement, then the Trustee shall not reimburse the Servicer for Servicer Expense Advances pursuant to Section 8.04(a)(ii) of this Agreement, but instead the SPV, as the Servicer's assignee and designee (the "Servicer's Assignee"), and the Advance Financing Person, as the pledgee and assignee of the Servicer's Assignee, shall have the right to receive out of the Certificate Account collections that the Servicer would otherwise have the right to receive from the Certificate Account, pursuant to Section 8.04(a)(ii) of this Agreement, amounts available to reimburse previously unreimbursed Servicer Expense Advances ("Expense Reimbursement Amounts"). 5-9 (g) If the Servicer enters into a CLEAR Advance Facility, the Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person shall deliver to the Trustee a written notice of the existence of such Advance Facility (a "CLEAR Advance Facility Notice"), stating the identity of the Advance Financing Person and the related Servicer's Assignee, and specifying what Servicer Expense Advances are owned by the CLEAR Advance Facility. A CLEAR Advance Facility may only be terminated by the joint written direction of the applicable Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person. Once a CLEAR Advance Facility Notice has been delivered to the Trustee, and until a joint written direction that the Advance Facility has been terminated is delivered to the Trustee, no amendment to this Agreement may be made without the prior written consent of the Advance Financing Person unless a transfer of servicing has occurred pursuant to Article VII and the Advance Financing Person has received all Expense Reimbursement Amounts. (h) Expense Reimbursement Amounts shall consist solely of amounts in respect of Servicer Expense Advances incurred in connection with the liquidation of Loans for which the Servicer would be permitted to be reimbursed in accordance with Section 8.04(a)(ii) hereof, assuming the Servicer had incurred the related Servicer Expense Advances. (i) An Advance Financing Person who receives an assignment or pledge of rights to receive Expense Reimbursement Amounts and/or whose obligations hereunder are limited to the funding of Servicer Expense Advances shall not be required to meet the criteria for qualification as an Eligible Servicer. (j) The documentation establishing any CLEAR Advance Facility shall require that Expense Reimbursement Amounts be allocated to outstanding unreimbursed Servicer Expense Advances on a FIFO basis. In the event that, as a result of this FIFO allocation, some or all of an Expense Reimbursement Amount related to Servicer Expense Advances made by a Person other than Conseco Finance Corp. or the Advance Financing Person, then the Servicer's Assignee shall be required to remit any portion of such Expense Reimbursement Amount to each person entitled to such portion of such Expense Reimbursement Amount. At any time when the Advance Financing Person shall have ceased funding Servicer Expense Advances, including without limitation upon a servicing transfer pursuant to Article VII, and the Trustee shall have withdrawn from the Certificate Account, and remitted to the Advance Financing Person, Expense Reimbursement Amounts sufficient to reimburse all Servicer Expense Advances, the right to reimbursement for which were assigned to the Servicer's Assignee and pledged and assigned to the Advance Financing Person, then the Servicer's Assignee and the Advance Financing Person and the Servicer shall deliver a written notice to the Trustee terminating the CLEAR Advance Facility Notice, whereupon the applicable Servicer shall again be entitled to payment of the related Expense Reimbursement Amounts pursuant to Section 8.04(a)(ii). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer shall remain entitled to reimbursement from the Servicer's Assignee and/or the Advance Financing Person for all Servicer Expense Advances funded by the Servicer to the extent the related Expense Reimbursement Amount(s) have not been assigned or pledged to an Advance Financing Person or related Servicer's Assignee. By way of illustration, and not by way of limiting the generality of the foregoing, if a Servicer who is a party to a CLEAR Advance Facility resigns or is terminated, and is replaced by a successor Servicer, and the successor Servicer directly incurs Servicer Expense Advances with respect to a Loan and does not assign or pledge the related Expense Reimbursement Amounts to an Advance Financing Person, then after all Expense Reimbursement Amounts attributable to that Loan that 5-10 are owed to the predecessor Servicer and the related Advance Financing Person, which were made prior to any Servicer Expense Advances made by the successor Servicer, have been reimbursed in full, then the successor Servicer shall be entitled to receive all Expense Reimbursement Amounts subsequently collected with respect to that Loan. SECTION 5.12 Backup Servicer. (a) Appointment Period. The Backup Servicer hereby acknowledges and agrees that any time during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending on the date on which the Original Class Principal Balance of the Certificates has been reduced to zero (such period, the "Appointment Period"), at the sole option of the Trustee following a termination of Conseco Finance as the Servicer hereunder, the Trustee may appoint the Backup Servicer as the successor Servicer hereunder, subject to the provisions of Article VII herein relating to the termination and succession of the Servicer. The Backup Servicer shall be reimbursed under Section 8.04(b)(i) and Section 8.04(d)(i) for any and all costs and expenses incurred by it in and related to the transfer of servicing to the Backup Servicer under this Agreement. Such costs and expenses include, without limitation, any costs or expenses associated with the complete transfer of all servicing data and the completion, correction or manipulation of such servicing data as may be required by the Backup Servicer to correct any errors or insufficiencies in the servicing data or otherwise to enable the Backup Servicer to service the Contracts properly and effectively. (b) Transfer of Servicing. The Backup Servicer hereby agrees that, in the event that pursuant to Article VII herein it becomes a successor Servicer during the Appointment Period, as stated in Section 5.12(a) above, it shall assume, the duties of the Servicer hereunder, and the rights of the Servicer hereunder, including the rights to the compensation provided to the Servicer hereunder, subject to the provisions of Article VII herein relating to the termination and succession of the Servicer. Subject to the provisions of Article VII herein relating to the termination and succession of the Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall assume such duties and rights as expeditiously as possible, but in no event greater than 60 days after receipt of notice from the Trustee, that Conseco Finance Corp. is no longer the Servicer hereunder and that the Trustee has directed that the Backup Servicer be appointed as successor Servicer, and the Backup Servicer shall deliver at such time such written acceptance of appointment as successor Servicer hereunder as the Trustee and the Trust shall reasonably require. The Backup Servicer shall within 10 days, or whenever commercially reasonable, send notices to obligors of the servicing transfer. (c) Fee. For undertaking its role as Backup Servicer under this Agreement, the Backup Servicer shall be entitled to receive the Backup Servicing Fee pursuant to Section 8.04(b)(i) and Section 8.04(d)(i) for its availability during the Appointment Period. (d) [Reserved] (e) Initial Information. Conseco Finance Corp. has delivered to the Backup Servicer a complete data file for each Loan, collateral and Certificate cashflows, price and yield information for each Class of Certificates, collateral modeling assumptions, tax treatment of the collateral and the each Class of Certificates, and such other initial information as the Backup Servicer has requested. 5-11 (f) Monthly Information. On at least a monthly basis each Payment Date beginning with the Payment Date in August, 2002, Conseco Finance Corp. shall deliver to the Backup Servicer the then-current Data. The Backup Servicer shall promptly notify the Trustee, Conseco Finance Corp. and the Rating Agencies if the Backup Servicer does not receive the Data from Conseco Finance Corp. each month during the Appointment Period or if the Backup Servicer determines that the Data received by it is not sufficient to enable it to act as Servicer. Except as provided in the foregoing sentence, unless and until the Backup Servicer becomes the Servicer, the Backup Servicer will have no obligations with respect to servicing data received by it, nor any reporting obligations. If the Backup Servicer determines it reasonably requires additional information to enable it to assume the duties of Servicer, it will notify Conseco Finance Corp., the Trustee and the Rating Agencies of such additional required information and thereafter the "Data" to be delivered under this Section 5.12(f) shall include such additional information; provided that Conseco Finance Corp. shall have a reasonable time to take such action as may reasonably be required to enable it to furnish such additional information on a monthly basis. (g) Quarterly and Annual Information. Conseco Finance Corp. will provide to the Backup Servicer, on a quarterly basis, copies of all Form 1099 and Form 1066 filings, and, on an annual basis, copies of all Form 1099 and Schedule Q filings. (h) Periodic Inspection. During the Appointment Period, Conseco Finance Corp. will permit the Backup Servicer, upon reasonable notice and during normal working hours, to perform periodic, on-site due diligence reviews of Conseco Finance Corp.'s performance of its obligations as Servicer and to review all records in the custody of Conseco Finance Corp. relating to the Loans. The Backup Servicer will conduct all such reviews in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the normal operations of Conseco Finance Corp. or customer or employee relations. The Backup Servicer will be entitled to reimbursement for all reasonable expenses incurred with regard to such inspections under Section 8.04(b)(ii). Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination that the Backup Servicer may make, the Backup Servicer may, using generally accepted auditing procedures, verify the status of each loan and review the Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for (i) conformity to the servicing records provided pursuant to Section 5.12(e) and (ii) compliance with the representations in this Agreement regarding the Contracts. If Conseco Finance Corp. in any way materially changes its servicing system or reporting format, it will promptly notify the Backup Servicer. (i) Confidential Information. The Backup Servicer agrees to hold any servicing information in confidence and to disclose such information only as required by this Agreement, applicable law or as necessary in the course of prudent servicing practices. (j) Limitation of Liability. The Backup Servicer, as Servicer, shall have no liability for errors in withholding tax as required by Section 3.07, provided that no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Backup Servicer from liability for its own negligence. (k) Successor Backup Servicer. The Backup Servicer may at any time resign and be discharged from its obligations under this Agreement, provided that a successor Backup Servicer acceptable (as evidenced in writing) to the Rating Agencies shall have executed and delivered to the Servicer, the Originator, the Trustee and the predecessor Backup Servicer, an instrument 5-12 accepting such appointment and agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Upon such acceptance, the resignation of the predecessor Backup Servicer shall become effective. The predecessor Backup Servicer shall cooperate in effecting the transfer of its obligations to the successor. (l) Termination. The Backup Servicer and the Trust hereby acknowledge and agree that all obligations of the Backup Servicer hereunder shall terminate upon the expiration of the Appointment Period. 5-13 ARTICLE VI REPORTS AND TAX MATTERS SECTION 6.01 Monthly Reports. No later than one Business Day following each Determination Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Trustee, the Backup Servicer and the Rating Agencies a Monthly Report, substantially in the form of Exhibit M hereto. SECTION 6.02 Officer's Certificate. Each Monthly Report pursuant to Section 6.01 shall be accompanied by a certificate of a Servicing Officer substantially in the form of Exhibit H, certifying the accuracy of the Monthly Report and that no Event of Termination or event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Termination has occurred, or if such event has occurred and is continuing, specifying the event and its status. SECTION 6.03 Other Data. In addition, the Originator and (if different from the Originator) the Servicer shall, on request of the Trustee or any of the Rating Agencies, furnish the Trustee and/or any such Rating Agencies such underlying data as may be reasonably requested. SECTION 6.04 Annual Report of Accountants. On or before May 1 of each year, commencing May 1, 2003, Conseco Finance, if it is the Servicer, at its expense shall cause PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, or another firm of independent public accountants which is a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, to issue to the Servicer a report that such firm has examined selected documents, records and management's assertions relating to loans serviced by the Servicer and stating that, on the basis of such examination, such servicing has been conducted in compliance with the minimum servicing standards identified in the Mortgage Bankers Association of America's Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers, or any successor uniform program, except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the opinion of such firm, generally accepted attestation standards requires it to report.

The Servicer shall be responsible for and agrees to prepare, make and timely file all federal, state, local or other tax returns, information statements and other returns and documents of every kind and nature whatsoever required to be made or filed by or on behalf of the Trust pursuant to the Code and other applicable tax laws and regulations. Each such return, statement and document shall, to the extent required by the Code or other applicable law and at the request of the Servicer, be signed on behalf of the Trust by the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no responsibility whatsoever for the accuracy or completeness of any such return, statement or document. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Trustee and hold it harmless for, from, against and in respect to any and all liability, loss, damage and expense which may be incurred by the Trustee based upon or as a result of the Trustee's 6-3 execution of any and all such tax returns, statements and documents. The Servicer, if and for so long as it is a Class R Certificateholder, shall be designated the "tax matters person" on behalf of the Trust in the same manner as a partnership may designate a "tax matters partner," as such term is defined in Section 6231(a)(7) of the Code. To the extent permitted by the REMIC Provisions, any subsequent holder of the Class R Certificate, by acceptance thereof, irrevocably designates and appoints the Servicer as its agent to perform the responsibilities of the "tax matters person" on behalf of the Trust if, and during such time as, the Servicer is not the holder of the Class R Certificate. The Servicer may, at its expense if the Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is the Servicer, and otherwise subject to reimbursement under Section 5.08 and 8.04(b), retain such outside assistance as it deems necessary in the performance of its obligations under this paragraph. The Servicer shall provide to the Internal Revenue Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will serve as the representative of the REMICs. Each of the Holders of the Certificates or the Class R Certificate, by acceptance thereof, agrees to file tax returns consistent with and in accordance with any elections, decisions or other reports made or filed with regard to federal, state or local taxes on behalf of the Trust. The Servicer, as tax matters person or as agent for the tax matters person, shall represent the Trust in connection with all examinations of the Trust's affairs by tax authorities, including resulting administrative and judicial proceedings. Each of the Holders of the Certificates and the Class R Certificate, by acceptance thereof, agrees to cooperate with the Servicer in such matters and to do or refrain from doing any or all things reasonably required by the Servicer to conduct such proceedings, provided, that, no such action shall be required by the Servicer of any Certificateholder that would entail unnecessary or unreasonable expenses for such Certificateholder in the performance of such action. The Class R Certificateholder shall pay, on behalf of the Trust, any foreign, federal, state or local income, property, excise, sales, receipts or any other similar or related taxes or charges which may be imposed upon the Master REMIC, Intermediate REMIC, or Subsidiary REMIC or otherwise and shall, to the extent provided in Section 10.06, be entitled to be reimbursed out of the Certificate Account or, if such tax or charge results from a failure by the Trustee, the Originator or any Servicer to comply with the provisions of Section 2.04 or 3.07, or a failure by any Servicer to comply with the provisions of this Section 6.06, the Trustee, the Originator or such Servicer, as the case may be, shall indemnify the Class R Certificateholder for the payment of any such tax or charge. The Trustee shall be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise distributable to the Class R Certificateholder any taxes or charges payable by the Class R Certificateholder hereunder. In the event the Class R Certificate is transferred to a "disqualified organization," within the meaning of Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code, pursuant to Section 860D(a)(6)(B) of the Code the Originator shall provide to the Internal Revenue Service and the persons specified in Sections 860(E)(e)(5) and (6) of the Code all information necessary for the application of Section 860E(e) and any other applicable provision of the Code with respect to the transfer of the Class R Certificate to such disqualified organization including, without limitation, a computation showing the present value of the total anticipated excess inclusions with respect to such Class R Certificate for periods after the transfer as defined in the REMIC Provisions.

On receipt of such Service Transfer Notice (or, if later, on a date designated therein) (the date of receipt of such Service Transfer Notice being herein called a "Service Transfer Notice Date," and the later of the Service Transfer Notice Date or such designated date being herein called a "Service Transfer Date"), all authority and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the Loans, the Loan Files or otherwise (except with respect to the Certificate Account, the transfer of which shall be governed by Section 7.06), may pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer, or in the event the Backup Servicer is the Servicer being terminated or the Trustee or its designee will otherwise become the Servicer as hereinafter provided in this Section 7.02, the Trustee or its designee pursuant to and under this Section 7.02; and, without limitation, the Backup Servicer, if appointed as Servicer, or the Trustee or its designee, as appropriate, is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents and other instruments, and to do any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such Service Transfer Notice. The Trustee shall provide the Backup Servicer (unless it is the Servicer being terminated) with a copy of any Service Transfer Notice on the Service Transfer Notice Date. The Backup Servicer (unless it is the Servicer being terminated) shall take over the servicing responsibilities of the Servicer under this Agreement and become the Servicer no later than sixty days after the Service Transfer Notice Date (if such Service Transfer Notice appoints the Backup Servicer as the Servicer); provided, that, if the Backup Servicer either (i) is incapable of acting as Servicer, or (ii) fails to become the Servicer prior to the Service Transfer Date, then the Trustee or its designee shall become the Servicer. The Trustee or its designee, as appropriate, shall cause all assignments of mortgages, deeds of trust or security deeds securing the Loans to be duly recorded. Each of the Originator and the Servicer agrees to cooperate with the Backup Servicer or the Trustee or its designee, as appropriate, in effecting the termination of the responsibilities and rights of the Servicer hereunder, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Backup Servicer or the Trustee or its designee, as appropriate, for administration by it of all cash amounts which shall at the time be held by the Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by the Servicer, in the Certificate Account, or for its own account in connection with its services hereafter or thereafter received with respect to the Loans. The Servicer shall transfer to the new servicer (i) the Servicer's records relating to the Loans in such electronic form as the new servicer may reasonably request and (ii) any Loan Files in the Servicer's possession. SECTION 7.03 Trustee to Act; Appointment of Successor. On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination pursuant to Section 7.02, the Backup Servicer (if appointed by the Trustee) or the Trustee or its designee, as appropriate, shall be the successor in all respects to the terminated Servicer in its capacity as servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set forth or provided for herein and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and liabilities relating thereto placed on the terminated Servicer by the terms and provisions hereof, and the terminated Servicer shall be relieved of such responsibilities, duties and liabilities arising after such Service Transfer; provided, however, that 7-2 (i) neither the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, nor any successor servicer shall assume any obligations of the Originator pursuant to Section 3.06, and (ii) neither the Backup Servicer, the Trustee, nor any successor servicer shall be liable for any acts or omissions of the terminated Servicer occurring prior to such Service Transfer or for any breach by the terminated Servicer of any of its obligations contained herein or in any related document or agreement. As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer or the Trustee or its designee, as appropriate, shall be entitled to receive reasonable compensation out of the Monthly Servicing Fee. Notwithstanding the above, the Trustee may, if it and the Backup Servicer shall be unwilling so to act, or shall, if it and the Backup Servicer are legally unable so to act, appoint, or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, an Eligible Servicer as the successor to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. Pending appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder, unless the Trustee is prohibited by law from so acting, the Trustee shall act in such capacity as hereinabove provided. In connection with such appointment and assumption, the Trustee may make such arrangements for the compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such successor shall agree; provided, however, that no such monthly compensation shall, without the written consent of 100% of the Certificateholders, exceed the Monthly Servicing Fee, and in the case of the Backup Servicer, be less than the Monthly Servicing Fee. The Trustee and such successor shall take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to effectuate any such succession. SECTION 7.04 Notification to Certificateholders and Class R Certificateholder.

(c) A Service Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but not limited to the indemnities of the Servicer and the Originator pursuant to Article X and Sections 3.07, 11.06 and 11.12(vi)) other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing or collection of the Loans after the Service Transfer.

Each such Certificate registered in the name of the Depository's nominee shall bear the following legend: "Unless this Certificate is presented by an authorized representative of The Depository Trust Company, a New York corporation ("DTC") to the Trustee or its agent for registration of transfer, exchange or payment, and any certificate issued is registered in the name of Cede & Co. or in such other name as requested by an authorized representative of DTC (and any payment is made to Cede & Co. or to such other entity as is requested by an authorized representative of DTC), ANY TRANSFER, PLEDGE OR OTHER USE HEREOF FOR VALUE OR OTHERWISE BY OR TO ANY PERSON IS WRONGFUL inasmuch as the registered owner hereof, Cede & Co., has an interest herein." (g) Each of the Certificates (and the Class P Certificate) and the Class R Certificate shall be a "security" for purposes of Article 8, Section 102(a)(15)(8) of the Uniform Commercial Code and shall be governed by such Article 8 as in effect in the State of Minnesota from time to time.

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

If such list is as of a date more than 90 days prior to the date of receipt of such Applicants' request, the Trustee shall promptly request from the Certificate Registrar a current list as provided above, and shall afford such Applicants access to such list promptly upon receipt. Every Certificateholder and the Class R Certificateholder, by receiving and holding a Certificate or a Class R Certificate, agrees with the Certificate Registrar and the Trustee that none of the Originator, the Certificate Registrar or the Trustee shall be held accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the names and addresses of the Certificateholders or the Class R Certificateholder hereunder, regardless of the source from which such information was derived.

The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and after the curing of all Events of Termination which may have occurred, undertakes to perform such duties and only such duties as are specifically set forth in this Agreement. If an Event of Termination has occurred (which has not been cured), the Trustee shall exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise, as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs. The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements, opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the Trustee which are specifically required to be furnished pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they conform to the requirements of this Agreement. Subject to Section 11.03, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to relieve the Trustee from liability for its own negligent action, its own negligent failure to act or its own misconduct; provided, however, that: (a) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination, and after the curing of all such Events of Termination which may have occurred, the duties and obligations of the Trustee shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Agreement, the Trustee shall not be liable except for the performance of such duties and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, no implied covenants or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Trustee and, in the absence of bad faith on the part of the Trustee, the Trustee may conclusively rely, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein, upon any certificates or opinions furnished to the Trustee and conforming to the requirements of this Agreement; (b) The Trustee shall not be liable for an error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; (c) The Trustee shall not be personally liable with respect to any action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the direction of the Certificateholders representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance relating to the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred upon the Trustee, under this Agreement; and (d) The Trustee shall not be charged with knowledge of any event referred to in Section 7.01 unless a Responsible Officer of the Trustee at the Corporate Trust Office obtains actual knowledge of such event or the Trustee receives written notice of such event from the Servicer or the Certificateholders representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance. 11-1 None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall in any event require the Trustee to perform, or be responsible for the manner of performance of, any of the obligations of the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer under this Agreement, except during such time, if any, as the Trustee shall be the successor to, and be vested with the rights, duties, powers and privileges of, the Servicer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Trustee shall not be required to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if there is reasonable ground for believing that the repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it. SECTION 11.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee. Except as otherwise provided in Section 11.01: (a) The Trustee may rely and shall be protected in acting or refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officer's Certificate, certificate of a Servicing Officer, certificate of auditors or any other certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, appraisal, bond or other paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed or presented by the proper party or parties; (b) The Trustee may consult with counsel and any opinion of any counsel for the Originator, the Seller or the Servicer shall be full and complete authorization and protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by the Trustee hereunder in good faith and in accordance with such Opinion of Counsel; (c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by this Agreement, or to institute, conduct or defend any litigation hereunder or in relation hereto, at the request, order or direction of any of the Certificateholders, pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, unless such Certificateholders shall have offered to the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall relieve the Trustee of the obligations, upon the occurrence of an Event of Termination (which has not been cured), to exercise such of the rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement, and to use the same degree of care and skill in their exercise as a prudent man would exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs; (d) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Termination and after the curing of all Events of Termination which may have occurred, the Trustee shall not be bound to make any investigation into the facts or matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion, report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by Certificateholders representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance; provided, however, that if the payment within a reasonable time to the Trustee of the costs, expenses or liabilities likely to be incurred by it in the making of such investigation is, in the opinion of the Trustee, not reasonably assured to the Trustee by the security afforded to it by the terms of this Agreement, the Trustee may require reasonable indemnity against such cost, expense or liability as a condition to so proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by the Servicer or, 11-2 if paid by the Trustee, shall be reimbursed by the Servicer upon demand; provided, that, such obligation not be transferred to the Backup Servicer or other successor Servicer; and (e) The Trustee may execute any of the trusts or powers hereunder or perform any duties hereunder either directly or by or through agents or attorneys or a custodian and shall not be liable for any acts or omissions of such agents, attorneys or custodians if appointed by it with due care hereunder.

The Trustee shall not be accountable for the use or application by the Servicer, the Originator or the Seller of funds paid to the Originator or the Seller, as applicable in consideration of conveyance of the Loans to the Trust by the Originator and the Seller or deposited in or withdrawn from the Certificate Account by the Servicer. SECTION 11.04 Trustee May Own Certificates. The Trustee in its individual or other capacity may become the owner or pledgee of Certificates representing less than all the beneficial interest in the Trust with the same rights as it would have if it were not Trustee.

Holders of Certificates representing, in the aggregate, 25% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance shall have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee; provided, however, that, subject to Section 11.01, the Trustee shall have the right to decline to follow any such direction if the Trustee being advised by counsel determines that the action so directed may not lawfully be taken, or if the Trustee in good faith shall, by a Responsible Officer or Officers of the Trustee, determine that the proceedings so directed would be illegal or involve it in personal liability or be unduly prejudicial to the rights of Certificateholders not parties to such direction; and provided, further, that nothing in this Agreement shall impair the right of the Trustee to take any action deemed proper by the Trustee and which is not inconsistent with such direction by the Certificateholders. Holders of the Certificates representing, in the aggregate, 51% or more of the Aggregate Certificate Principal Balance may on behalf of all Certificateholders waive any past Event of Termination hereunder and its consequences, except a default in respect of a covenant or provision hereof which under Section 12.08 cannot be modified or amended without the consent of all Certificateholders, and upon any such waiver, such Event of Termination shall cease to exist and shall be deemed to have been cured for every purpose of this Agreement; but no such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other Event of Termination or impair any right consequent thereon. 11-3 SECTION 11.06 The Servicer to Pay Trustee's Fees and Expenses. The Servicer agrees: (i) to pay to the Trustee reasonable compensation for all services rendered by it hereunder (which compensation shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the compensation of a trustee of an express trust); (ii) except as otherwise expressly provided herein, to reimburse the Trustee, to the extent requested by the Trustee, for all reasonable expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee in accordance with any provision of this Agreement (including the reasonable compensation and the expenses and disbursements of its agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its negligence or bad faith; and (iii) to indemnify the Trustee for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on its part, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or administration of the Trust and its duties hereunder, including the costs and expenses of defending itself against any claim or liability in connection with the exercise or performance of any of its powers or duties hereunder. The covenants in this Section 11.06 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee in its capacities as Trustee, Paying Agent and Certificate Registrar hereunder, and shall survive the termination of this Agreement. If any entity other than the Originator or a subsidiary or affiliate of the Originator is the Servicer, the Servicer shall be reimbursed for any costs and expenses incurred by it in this Section 11.06 pursuant to Sections 5.08 and 8.04(b), provided that, if for any Payment Date the Originator is not the Servicer, the obligations of the Servicer under this Section 11.06 shall be limited to the funds remaining after distributions under Section 8.04(b)(i) and Section 8.04(d)(i) (without taking into account any amounts to be reimbursed to the Backup Servicer under this Section 11.06) for that Payment Date. SECTION 11.07 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.

If such Person publishes reports of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of a supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 11.07, the combined capital and surplus of such Person shall be deemed to be its combined capital and surplus as set forth in its most recent report of condition so published. In addition, the Trustee shall at all times have (i) a long-term deposit rating from S&P of at least BBB or as shall be otherwise acceptable to S&P, 11-4 (ii) a long-term deposit rating from Moody's of at least Baa2 or as shall be otherwise acceptable to Moody's.

SECTION 11.09 Successor Trustee. Any successor Trustee appointed as provided in Section 11.08 shall execute, acknowledge and deliver to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Originator and to its predecessor Trustee an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder, and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor Trustee shall become effective and such successor Trustee, without any further act, deed or conveyance, shall become fully vested with all the rights, powers, duties and obligations of its predecessor hereunder, with like effect as if originally named as Trustee.

Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose of meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction having authority over the Trust, the Loans or the Obligors, the Originator and the Trustee acting jointly shall have the power and shall execute and deliver all instruments to appoint one or more Persons approved by the Trustee to act as co-trustee or co-trustees, jointly with the Trustee, or separate trustee or separate trustees, of all or any part of the Trust, and to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section 11.13, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Originator and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Originator shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it of a request to do so, or in case an Event of Termination shall have occurred and be continuing, the Trustee alone shall have the power to make such appointment. No co-trustee or separate trustee hereunder shall be required to meet the terms of eligibility as a successor trustee under Section 11.07 hereunder and no notice to Certificateholders or a Class R Certificateholder of the appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under Section 11.09. In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant to this Section 11.13 all rights, powers, duties and obligations conferred or imposed upon the Trustee shall be conferred or imposed upon and exercised or performed by the Trustee and such co-trustee or separate trustee jointly, except to the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular act or acts are to be performed (whether as Trustee hereunder or as successor to the Servicer hereunder), the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including the holding 11-7 of title to the Trust or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such co-trustee or separate trustee at the direction of the Trustee. Any notice, request or other writing given to the Trustee shall be deemed to have been given to each of the then co-trustees and separate trustees, as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any co-trustee or separate trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions of this Article XI. Each co-trustee and separate trustee, upon its acceptance of the trusts conferred, shall be vested with the estates or property specified in its instrument of appointment, either jointly with the Trustee or separately, as may be provided therein, subject to all the provisions of this Agreement, specifically including every provision of this Agreement relating to the conduct of, affecting the liability of, or affording protection to, the Trustee. Every such instrument shall be filed with the Trustee. Any co-trustee or separate trustee may, at any time, constitute the Trustee, its agent or attorney-in-fact, with full power and authority, to the extent not prohibited by law, to do any lawful act under or in respect of this Agreement on its behalf and in its name. If any co-trustee or separate trustee shall die, become incapable of acting, resign or be removed, all of its estates, properties, rights, remedies and trusts shall vest in and be exercised by the Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or successor trustee. SECTION 11.14 Trustee and U.S. Bancorp. In the event the Trustee ceases to be a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of U.S. Bancorp, the Trustee shall promptly notify the Rating Agencies.

(b) The Trustee shall not be required to make any Trustee Advance if and to the extent that it determines in good faith that the funds, if advanced, would not be recoverable by it from subsequent amounts available in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 8.04(b) and (d). (c) The Trustee shall be entitled to reimbursement of a Trustee Advance from funds subsequently available therefor in the Certificate Account in accordance with Section 8.04(b) and (d). 11-8 ARTICLE XII MISCELLANEOUS SECTION 12.01 Servicer Not to Resign; Delegation of Servicing Duties. The Originator as Servicer shall not resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except upon determination that the performance of its duties hereunder is no longer permissible under this Agreement or under applicable law. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel for the Servicer to such effect delivered to the Trustee. No such resignation shall become effective until the Trustee or a successor servicer shall have assumed the responsibilities and obligations of the Servicer in accordance with Section 7.03. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Conseco Finance Corp., if it is the Servicer, may delegate some or all of its servicing duties to a wholly owned subsidiary of the Originator, for so long as said subsidiary remains, directly or indirectly, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Conseco Finance Corp. Notwithstanding any such delegation, Conseco Finance Corp. shall retain all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. The Backup Servicer, if it is the Servicer, may delegate some or all of its servicing duties to an Affiliate. Notwithstanding any such delegation, the Backup Servicer shall retain all of the rights and obligations of the Servicer hereunder. SECTION 12.02 Conseco Finance Corp. and Seller Not to Engage in Certain Transactions with Respect to the Trust. Neither Conseco Finance Corp. nor the Seller shall: (i) Provide credit to any Certificateholder for the purpose of enabling such Certificateholder to purchase Certificates; (ii) Purchase any Certificates in an agency or trustee capacity; or (iii) Loan any money to the Trust (other than Advances pursuant to Section 8.02).

On the date hereof the Trustee's office for such purposes is located at 180 East 5th Street, Second Floor, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer, the Backup Servicer, the Certificateholders and the Class R Certificateholder of any change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency. SECTION 12.04 Termination.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have affixed hereunto my signature this _____ day of _______________________, 2002. ----------------------------------------- [Name] [Title] E-1 EXHIBIT F FORM OF OPINION OF COUNSEL FOR THE ORIGINATOR The opinion of Briggs and Morgan, P.A. shall be to the effect that (capitalized terms have the meanings set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement): The Originator is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, with corporate power to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates and the Class R Certificate. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement has been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action, duly executed and delivered by the Originator, and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Originator enforceable in accordance with its terms. The Certificates have been duly authorized by all requisite corporate action and, when duly and validly executed by the Trustee in accordance with the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, will be validly issued and outstanding and entitled to the benefits of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal court or governmental agency or body is required to be obtained by the Originator for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, except such as may be required under blue sky laws under any jurisdiction in connection with the offering of the Certificates by the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The Pooling and Servicing Agreement is not required to be qualified under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as now in effect, and the Trust is not required to be registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940. Neither the transfer of the Loans to the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust, nor the assignment of the Originator's lien on the related real estate which is the subject of a home equity loan, nor the issuance or sale of the Certificates and the Class R Certificate, nor the execution and delivery of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor the consummation of any other of the transactions contemplated in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, nor the fulfillment of the terms of the Certificates, the Class R Certificate or the Pooling and Servicing Agreement by the Originator will conflict with, or result in a breach, violation or acceleration of, or constitute a default under, any term or provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Originator or of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to us to which the Originator is a party or by which it is bound, or result in a violation of, or contravene the terms of any statute, order or regulation, applicable to the Originator, of any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or governmental body having jurisdiction over it. There are no actions or proceedings pending, nor to the best of our knowledge, are there any investigations pending or overtly threatened against the Originator before any court, administrative agency or other tribunal (A) asserting the invalidity of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates, the Class R Certificate, the hazard or flood insurance policies applicable to any Loans or the Errors and Omissions Protection Policy, (B) seeking to prevent the issuance of the Certificates or the Class R Certificate or the consummation of any of the F-1 transactions contemplated by the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, (C) which is likely materially and adversely to affect the performance by the Originator of its obligations under, or the validity or enforceability of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, the Certificates or the Class R Certificate, or (D) seeking adversely to affect the federal income tax attributes of the Certificates or the Class R Certificate described in the Prospectus and the Prospectus Supplement under the heading "Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences." The transfer of the Loans to the Trust in accordance with Section 2.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement would not be avoidable as a preferential transfer under Section 547 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ss. 547), as in effect on the date hereof, in the event that the Originator became a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. Pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Originator has transferred to the Trustee acting on behalf of the Trust all of the Originator's right, title and interest in the Loans, free and clear of any and all other assignments, encumbrances, options, rights, claims, liens or security interests (except tax or possessory liens) that may affect the right of the Trustee in and to such Loans, and has delivered the Loan Files to the Trustee or its custodian. No filing or other action, other than the filing of a financing statement on Form UCC-1 with the Secretary of State of the State of Minnesota identifying the Loans as collateral and naming the Originator as debtor and the Trust as secured party, and the filing of continuation statements as required by Section 4.01 of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, is necessary to perfect as against third parties the assignment of the Loans by the Originator to the Trust. We have separately provided you with our opinion concerning whether such assignment could be recharacterized as a pledge rather than a sale in the event the Originator became a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code. However, in the event such assignment were characterized as a pledge securing a loan from the Certificateholders to the Originator, it is our opinion that the Trustee would be deemed to have a valid and perfected security interest in the Loans and the proceeds thereof, which security interest would be prior to any other security interest that may be perfected under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Minnesota and over any "lien creditor" (as defined in Minn. Stat. ss.336.9-301(3)) who becomes such after the Closing Date, except that a subsequent purchaser of any Loan who gives new value and takes possession thereof in the ordinary course of his business would have priority over the Trustee's security interest in such Loan, if such purchaser acts without knowledge that such Loan was subject to a security interest. We have assumed for the purposes of this opinion that during the term of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement the Trustee, or its custodian, shall maintain possession of the Loan Files for the purpose of perfecting the assignment to the Trustee of the Loans. We express no opinion with respect to the enforceability of any individual Loan or the existence of any claims, rights or other matters in favor of any Obligor or the owner of any financed home improvement. In reliance upon certain representations and warranties set forth in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement and assuming that the Originator and the Trustee comply with the requirements of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement, including the filing on behalf of the REMIC of a proper election to be taxed as a REMIC, as of the date hereof the REMIC created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement will qualify as a REMIC. Further, the Certificates will evidence ownership of the "regular interests" in the Master REMIC and the Class R-I, Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates will evidence ownership of the single Class of "residual interest" in the Subsidiary REMIC, Intermediate REMIC and Master REMIC, F-2 respectively. For Minnesota income tax purposes, and subject to the foregoing assumptions, and the provisions of Minnesota law as of the date hereof, the Trust (excluding the Yield Maintenance Reserve Funds, the Basis Risk Reserve Fund and the Pre-Funding Account) will not be subject to tax and the income of the Trust will be taxable to the holders of interests therein, all in accordance with the provisions of the Code concerning REMICs. Moreover, ownership of Certificates will not be a factor in determining whether such owner is subject to Minnesota income taxes. Therefore, if the owner of Certificates is not otherwise subject to Minnesota income or franchise taxes in the State of Minnesota, such owner will not become subject to such Minnesota taxes solely by virtue of owning Certificates. The transfer of the Loans and the proceeds thereof by the Originator to the Trustee on the date hereof pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement would not be avoidable as a fraudulent transfer under the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act as in effect in Minnesota on the date hereof (Minn. Stat. ss.ss. 513.41 through 513.51), nor, should the Originator become a debtor under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as a fraudulent transfer under Section 548 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. ss. 548) as in effect on the date hereof. F-3 EXHIBIT G FORM OF TRUSTEE'S ACKNOWLEDGMENT U.S. Bank National Association, a national banking association organized under the laws of the United States, acting as trustee (the "Trustee") of Conseco Finance Home Equity Loan Trust 2002-C (the "Trust") created pursuant to the Pooling and Servicing Agreement dated as of July 1, 2002 among Conseco Finance Corp., Conseco Finance Securitizations Corp.

[From Trustee or Custodian as applicable.] [The Trustee acknowledges that it has conducted a review of the Loan Files for the Loans identified on the attached list and hereby confirms that except as noted on the document exception listing attached hereto, each Loan File contains (a) an original promissory note (or an executed lost note affidavit, together with a copy of the note), duly endorsed in blank or in the name of the Trustee, (b) an original or a copy of the mortgage or deed of trust or similar evidence of a lien on the related improved real estate, (c) in the case of Loans originated by a lender other than the Originator, an original or a copy of an assignment of the mortgage, deed of trust or security deed by the lender to the Originator, (d) an assignment of the mortgage, deed of trust or similar evidence of a lien, to the Trustee or in blank, and (e) any extension, modification or waiver agreement(s). The Trustee has not otherwise reviewed the Loans and Loan Files for compliance with the terms of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement.] G-1 IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ____________________________ as Trustee has caused this acknowledgment to be executed by its duly authorized officer and its corporate seal affixed hereto as of this _____, day of ________________, 2002.
