Net income of the Trust for any month as determined for Federal income tax
purposes (and each item of income, gain, loss and deduction entering into the
computation thereof) shall be allocated:
(a) among the Certificateholders as of the first Record Date following
the end of such month, in proportion to their ownership of the Certificate
Principal Balance on such date, an amount of net income up to the sum of

income.
If the net income of the Trust for any month is insufficient for the allocations
described in clause (a) above, subsequent net income shall first be allocated to

total amount of losses allocated to the Certificateholders pursuant to this

Certificateholder(s) equals the Original Certificate Principal Balance of the
Certificates, and any remaining net losses shall be allocated to the General
Partner. The General Partner is authorized to modify the allocations in this
paragraph if necessary or appropriate, in its sole discretion, for the
allocations to fairly reflect the economic income, gain or loss to the General

operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, its general partnership
interest in the Trust;

(b) it shall not create, incur or suffer to exist any indebtedness or
engage in any business, except, in each case, as permitted by its articles

(or other similar official) of the Trust or a substantial part of the
property of the Trust or cause or permit the Trust to make any assignment
for the benefit of creditors, or admit in writing the inability of the
Trust to pay its debts generally as they become due, or declare or effect a
moratorium on the debt of the Trust or take any action in furtherance of
any such action;
(d) it shall obtain from each counterparty to each Related Document to
which it or the Trust is a party and each other agreement entered into on

or join any other Person in instituting against, it or the Trust, any
bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or liquidation
proceedings or other similar proceedings under the laws of the United
States or any state of the United States; and
(e) it shall not, for any reason, withdraw or attempt to withdraw from

to reorganization or relief under any applicable federal or state law
relating to bankruptcy, or consent to the appointment of a receiver,

Certificate agrees:
(a) to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Certificates of
which such Owner is the beneficial owner and of this Agreement, including

attorney-in-fact to sign any federal income tax information return filed on

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

the destruction, loss or theft of any Certificate, and (b) there is delivered to
the Certificate Registrar and the Owner Trustee such security or indemnity as

Trustee, and such application states that the Applicants desire to communicate

or under the Certificates and is accompanied by a copy of the communication that
such Applicants propose to transmit, then the Owner Trustee shall, within five
Business Days after the receipt of such application, afford such Applicants

Paying Agent appointed by the Owner Trustee to execute and deliver to the Owner
Trustee an instrument in which such successor Paying Agent or additional Paying
Agent shall agree with the Owner Trustee that as Paying Agent, such successor
Paying Agent or additional Paying Agent will hold all sums, if any, held by it
for payment to the Certificateholders in trust for the benefit of the
Certificateholders entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such
Certificateholders. The Paying Agent shall return all unclaimed funds to the

the Related Documents and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
The Owner Trustee undertakes to perform such duties, and only such duties, as

circumstances, except by reason of its gross negligence, willful misconduct or
breach of its representations, warranties or covenants.
(e) The Owner Trustee shall be under no liability (except as provided in
(d) above) for any action taken by the Owner Trustee in good faith in reliance
upon any paper, order, list, demand, request, consent, affidavit, notice,
opinion, direction, endorsement, assignment, resolution, draft or other
document, believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper
party or parties or for the disposition of moneys or Trust Property pursuant to
this Agreement. As to any fact or matter, the manner of ascertainment of which
is not specifically prescribed herein, the Owner Trustee may for all purposes
hereof rely on a certificate, signed by the president or any vice president or
by the treasurer or other authorized officer of the relevant party, as to such
fact or matter, and such certificate shall constitute full protection to the
Owner Trustee for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
reliance thereon.

courses of action permitted or required by the terms of this Agreement or any
Related Document, the Owner Trustee shall promptly give notice (in such form as
shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders
requesting instruction as to the course of action to be adopted, and to the
extent the Owner Trustee acts in good faith in accordance with any written
instruction received from the Certificateholders, the Owner Trustee shall not be
liable on account of such action to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not
have received appropriate instruction within ten days of such notice (or within
such shorter period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may
be necessary under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to,
take or refrain from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or
the Related Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the
Owners, and shall have no liability to
6-2
any Person for such action or inaction.
(g) In the event that the Owner Trustee is unsure as to the application of
any provision of this Agreement or any Related Document or any such provision is
ambiguous as to its application, or is, or appears to be, in conflict with any
other applicable provision, or in the event that this Agreement permits any
determination by the Owner Trustee or is silent or is incomplete as to the
course of action that the Owner Trustee is required to take with respect to a
particular set of facts, the Owner Trustee may give notice (in such form as
shall be appropriate under the circumstances) to the Certificateholders
requesting instruction and, to the extent that the Owner Trustee acts or
refrains from acting in good faith in accordance with any such instruction
received, the Owner Trustee shall not be liable, on account of such action or
inaction, to any Person. If the Owner Trustee shall not have received
appropriate instruction within 10 days of such notice (or within such shorter
period of time as reasonably may be specified in such notice or may be necessary
under the circumstances) it may, but shall be under no duty to, take or refrain
from taking such action, not inconsistent with this Agreement or the Related
Documents, as it shall deem to be in the best interests of the Owners, and shall
have no liability to any Person for such action or inaction.
SECTION 6.4. No Duties Except as Specified in this Agreement or in
Instructions.

under, or in connection with, any document contemplated hereby to which the
Trust is a party, except as expressly provided by the terms of this Agreement
(including as provided in Section 6.2) or in any written instruction received by
the Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3; and no implied duties or obligations
shall be read into this Agreement or any Related Document against the Owner
Trustee. The Owner Trustee shall have no responsibility for preparing,
monitoring or filing any financing or continuation statements in any public
office at any time or otherwise to perfect or maintain the perfection of any
security interest or lien granted to it hereunder or to record this Agreement or
any Related Document; however, the Owner Trustee will from time to time execute
and deliver such financing or continuation statements as are prepared by the
Servicer and delivered to the Owner Trustee in final execution form for its
execution on behalf of the Trust for the purpose of perfecting or maintaining
the perfection of such a security interest or lien or effecting such a
recording. The Owner Trustee nevertheless agrees that it will, at its own cost
and expense (and not at the expense of the Trust), promptly take all action as
may be necessary to discharge any liens on any part of the Trust Property that
are attributable to claims against the Owner Trustee in its individual capacity
that are not related to the ownership or the administration of the Trust
Property.

SECTION 6.5. No Action Except under Specified Documents or Instructions.

pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) in accordance with the Related Documents and
(iii) in accordance with any document or instruction delivered to the Owner
Trustee pursuant to Section 6.3.
SECTION 6.6. Restrictions.
The Owner Trustee shall not take any action (a) that is inconsistent with
the purposes of the Trust set forth in Section 2.3 or (b) that, to the actual
knowledge of the Owner Trustee, would result in the Trust's becoming taxable as
a corporation for Federal income tax purposes. The Owners shall not direct the
Owner Trustee to take action that would violate the provisions of this Section.
SECTION 6.7. Administration Agreement.
(a) The Administrator is authorized to execute on behalf of the Trust all
documents, reports, filings, instruments, certificates and opinions as it shall
be the duty of the Trust to prepare, file or deliver pursuant to the Related
Documents. Upon written request, the Owner Trustee shall execute and deliver to
the Administrator a power of attorney appointing the Administrator its agent and
attorney-in-fact to execute all such documents, reports, filings, instruments,
certificates and opinions.
(b) If the Administrator shall resign or be removed pursuant to the terms
of the Administration Agreement, the Owner Trustee may, and is hereby authorized
and empowered to, appoint or consent to the appointment of a successor
Administrator pursuant to the Administration Agreement.

and is hereby authorized and empowered to, appoint or consent to the appointment
of a Person to perform substantially the same duties as are assigned to the
Administrator in the Administration Agreement pursuant to an agreement
containing substantially the same provisions as are contained in the
Administration Agreement.

appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to take appropriate steps, to contact
the remaining Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and
the cost thereof shall be paid out of the funds and other assets that remain

Holders of a majority of the Certificate Principal Balance agree in writing to
continue the business of the Trust and to the appointment of a Person to become
the General Partner and to assume the liabilities incident thereto and (y) the
Owner Trustee requests and obtains an opinion of counsel acceptable to Green
Tree to the effect that the Trust will not thereafter be an association (or

purposes. Promptly after the occurrence of a Dissolution Event, (i) the General

a successor Owner Trustee meeting the qualifications set forth in Section 10.1
by written instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be
delivered to the resigning Owner Trustee and one copy to the successor Owner
Trustee. If no successor Owner Trustee shall have been so appointed and have

of appointment by the successor Owner Trustee pursuant to Section 10.3. The
General Partner shall provide notice of such resignation or removal of the Owner
Trustee to each of the Rating Agencies.

it under this Agreement; and the General Partner and the predecessor Owner
Trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other things as
may reasonably be required for fully and certainly vesting and confirming in the
successor Owner Trustee all such rights, powers, duties, and obligations.
If the predecessor Trustee is then the lender of record for purposes of FHA

by the Owner Trustee and such separate trustee or co-trustee jointly (it
being understood that such separate trustee or co-trustee is not authorized
to act separately without the Owner Trustee joining in such act), except to
the extent that under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed the Owner Trustee shall be incompetent or
unqualified to perform such act or acts, in which event such rights,
powers, duties, and obligations (including the holding of title to the
Trust Property or any portion thereof in any such jurisdiction) shall be
exercised and performed singly by such separate trustee or co-trustee, but
solely at the direction of the Owner Trustee;
(ii) no trustee under this Agreement shall be personally liable by
reason of any act or omission of any other trustee under this Agreement;
and
(iii) the Administrator and the Owner Trustee acting jointly may at

co-trustee.
Any notice, request or other writing given to the Owner Trustee shall be
deemed to have been given to each of the then separate trustees and co-trustees,
as effectively as if given to each of them. Every instrument appointing any
separate trustee or co-trustee shall refer to this Agreement and the conditions
of this Article. Each separate trustee and co-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 Owner 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
Owner Trustee. Each such instrument shall be filed with the Owner Trustee and a
copy thereof given to the Administrator.
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may at any time appoint the Owner
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 separate trustee or co-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
Owner Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new
or successor trustee.

agree to treat, and to take no action inconsistent with the treatment of, the
Certificates for such tax purposes as partnership interests in the Trust.
Each Certificateholder, by its acceptance of a Certificate, covenants and
agrees
B-2
that such Certificateholder will not at any time institute against the General
Partner or join in any institution against the Depositor, the Trust or the
General Partner of any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, insolvency or
liquidation proceedings, or other proceedings under any United States Federal or
state bankruptcy or similar law in connection with any obligations relating to

Documents.
Except as provided in the Trust Agreement, distributions on this
Certificate will be made by the Owner Trustee by check or money order mailed to
the Certificateholder of record in the Certificate Register without the

hereon. Except as otherwise provided in the Trust Agreement and notwithstanding

recoveries respecting the Contracts, all as more specifically set forth in the
Trust Agreement. A copy of the Trust Agreement may, upon request, be examined
by any Certificateholder during normal business hours at the principal office of
the Seller and at such other places, if any, designated by the Seller.
The Trust Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
parties thereto and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Trust
Agreement at any time by the Depositor, the General Partner and the Owner
Trustee. In certain limited circumstances, the Trust Agreement may only be
amended with the consent of the Holders of Certificates evidencing not less than
a majority of the Certificate Principal Balance and, in certain circumstances,
100% of the Certificate Principal Balance. Any such consent by the Holder of
this Certificate shall be conclusive and binding on such Holder and on all
future Holders of this Certificate and of any Certificate issued upon the
transfer hereof or in exchange herefor or in lieu hereof whether or not notation
of such consent is made upon this Certificate.
As provided in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations set forth
therein, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Registrar upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of transfer at the
offices or agencies of the Certificate Registrar maintained by the Owner Trustee
in _____ accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to
the Owner Trustee and the Certificate Registrar duly executed by the Holder
hereof or such Holder's attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one
or more new Certificates of authorized denominations evidencing the same
aggregate fractional
B-3
undivided interest in the Trust issued to the designated transferee. The initial
Certificate Registrar appointed under the Trust Agreement is _____.
The Certificates may not be acquired by (a) an employee benefit plan (as
defined in Section 3(3) of ERISA) that is subject to the provisions of Title 1
of ERISA, (b) a plan described in Section 4975(e)(1) of the Code or (c) any

warranted that it is not a Benefit Plan.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples thereof. As provided
in the Trust Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth,
Certificates are exchangeable for new Certificates of authorized denominations
of a like aggregate fractional undivided interest, as requested by the Holder
surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for any such registration
of transfer or exchange, but the Owner Trustee may require payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charges payable in connection
therewith.
The Owner Trustee, the Certificate Registrar and any agent of the Owner
Trustee or the Certificate Registrar may treat the person in whose name this
Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving
distributions and for all other purposes, and neither the Owner Trustee, the
Certificate Registrar nor any such agent shall be affected by any notice to the
contrary.
The obligations and responsibilities created by the Trust Agreement and
Trust created thereby shall terminate upon the payment to Certificateholders of
all amounts required to be paid to them pursuant to the Trust Agreement and the
disposition of all property held as part of the Trust. The Servicer or the
Seller may at its option purchase the corpus of the Trust at a price specified
in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, and such purchase of the Contracts and
other property of the Trust will effect early retirement of the Certificates;
provided, however, such right of purchase is exercisable only as of a Record
Date as of which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than or equal to
10% of the Cut-off Date Pool Principal Balance.
The recitals contained herein shall be taken as the statements of the
Depositor, the General Partner or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the
Owner Trustee assumes no responsibility for the correctness thereof. The Owner
Trustee makes no representations as to the validity or sufficiency of this
Certificate or of any Contract or related document.
Unless the certificate of authentication hereon shall have been executed by
an authorized officer of the Owner Trustee, by manual or facsimile signature,
this Certificate shall not entitle the Holder hereof to any benefit under the
