CONVEYANCE OF CONTRACTS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
Section 2.01 Conveyance of Contracts.
(a) GreenPoint, as Contract Seller, concurrently with the execution and
delivery hereof, does hereby transfer, sell, assign, set over and otherwise
convey to the Trustee without recourse (i) all of its right, title and interest
in and to the Contracts listed on the Contract Schedule, as amended from time to
time (including the security interests created thereby), including all principal
of and interest due on or with respect to such Contracts on or after the Cut-Off
Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on such Contracts before
the Cut-Off Date); (ii) all of the rights under all Hazard Insurance Policies
relating to the Manufactured Homes securing such Contracts for the benefit of
the creditors under such Contracts; (iii) all documents contained in the
Servicing Files, the Contract Files and in the Land Home Contract Files with
respect to the related Contracts; (iv) all accounts, general intangibles,
chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of
deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, and investment property,
consisting of, arising from, or relating to any of the foregoing; and (v) all
proceeds of any of the foregoing. The Trust shall be deemed to consist of two
sub-trusts, one with respect to each Group.
The ownership of each Contract and the contents of the related Contract
File or Land Home Contract File, as applicable, and Servicing File are vested in
the Trustee. The Servicer hereby disclaims any and all right, title and other
ownership interest in and to the Contracts (including the security interests
created thereby). The contents of each Contract File and, except as provided in
Section 4.16(e) and/or 4.16(f), the contents of each Land Home Contract File, as
applicable, and Servicing File are and shall be held by the Servicer for the
benefit of the Trustee as the owner thereof (it being understood that the
Servicer's possession of the contents of each Contract File or Land Home
Contract File, as applicable, and Servicing File so retained is for the sole
purpose of servicing the related Contract, and such retention and possession by
the Servicer is in a custodial capacity only). Neither the Contract Seller nor
the Servicer shall take any action inconsistent with the Trustee's ownership of
the Contracts, and the Contract Seller and the Servicer shall promptly indicate
to all inquiring parties that the Contracts have been sold, transferred,
assigned, set over and conveyed to the Trustee and shall not claim any ownership
interest in the Contracts.
(b) Although the parties intend that the conveyance of the Contract
Seller's right, title and interest in and to the Contracts pursuant to this
Agreement shall constitute a purchase and sale and not a loan, if such
conveyances are deemed to be a loan, the parties intend that the rights and
obligations of the parties to such loan shall be established pursuant to the
terms of this Agreement. The parties also intend and agree that GreenPoint shall
be deemed to have granted to the Trustee, and GreenPoint does hereby grant to
the Trustee, to secure payment of the Certificates according to their terms and
the performance of all of the Contract Seller's obligations hereunder, a
perfected first-priority security interest in all of its right, title and
interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in, to and under (i) the
Contracts listed on the Contract Schedule, as amended from time to time
(including the security interests created thereby), including all principal of
and interest due on or with respect to such Contracts on or after the Cut-Off
Date (other than payments of principal and interest due on such Contracts before
the Cut-Off Date); (ii) all of the rights under all Hazard Insurance Policies
relating to the Manufactured Homes securing such Contracts for the benefit of
the creditors under such Contracts; (iii) all documents contained in the
Servicing Files, the Contract Files and in the Land Home Contract Files with
respect to the related Contracts; (iv) all accounts, general intangibles,
chattel paper, instruments, documents, money, deposit accounts, certificates of
deposit, goods, letters of credit, advices of credit, and investment property,
consisting of, arising from, or relating to any of the foregoing; and (v) all
proceeds of any of the foregoing. The parties intend and agree that this
30
Agreement shall constitute a security agreement under applicable law. If the
trust created by this Agreement terminates prior to the satisfaction of the
claims of any Person under any Certificates, the security interests created
hereby shall continue in full force and effect and the Trustee shall be deemed
to be the collateral agent for the benefit of such Person. The Trustee shall
have all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC as in force
in the relevant jurisdiction.
Section 2.02 Filing and Assignment.
(a) On or prior to the Closing Date, the Contract Seller shall cause to be
filed in the office of the Secretary of State of California a UCC-1 financing
statement signed by GreenPoint describing the related Contracts as collateral
and naming GreenPoint as debtor and the Trustee as secured party.
From time to time, each of the Contract Seller and the Servicer shall take
and cause to be taken such actions and execute such documents as are necessary
to perfect and protect the Certificateholders' interests in the Contracts and
their proceeds and the Manufactured Homes and the Mortgaged Properties against
all other Persons, including the filing of financing statements, amendments
thereto and continuation statements, the execution of transfer instruments and
the making of notations on or taking possession of all records or documents of
title; provided, however, that GreenPoint, so long as it is the Servicer, shall
not be required to cause notations to be made on any document of title relating
to any Manufactured Home or to execute any transfer instrument relating to any
Manufactured Home (other than a notation or a transfer instrument necessary to
show the Contract Seller as the lienholder or legal title holder) or, except as
provided in Section 4.22, to file documents in real property records with
respect to a Manufactured Home or related Contract, absent notice from the
Trustee or actual knowledge that such Manufactured Home that does not secure a
Land Home Contract has become real property under applicable state law; and
further provided, that neither the Contract Seller nor the Servicer shall have
any obligation pursuant to this sentence with respect to any failure to maintain
a first-priority perfected security interest which results from a breach of any
representation or warranty in Section 3.02(j) or (u) as to the Trustee's
security interest in a Manufactured Home, except to enforce the Contract
Seller's obligations in respect thereof in Section 3.05. The Trustee and the
Contract Seller agree to take whatever action is necessary to enable the
Servicer to fulfill its obligations as set forth in this Section 2.02(a).
(b) Each of the Contract Seller and the Servicer agrees to pay all
reasonable costs and disbursements in connection with its respective duties
specified in this Section 2.02.

Trustee and declares that the Trustee, directly or through a custodian (which

4.16(f)), holds and will hold such Contract Files in trust for the use and
benefit of all present and future Certificateholders. The Trustee hereby
certifies (without any independent investigation) that it has no notice or
knowledge of (i) any adverse claim, lien or encumbrance with respect to any
Contract, (ii) any Contract being overdue or dishonored, (iii) any evidence on
the face of any Contract of any security interest therein adverse to the
Trustee's interest, or (iv) any defense against or claim against any Contract by
the Obligor or by any other party. The Trustee also hereby certifies that its
books and records will reflect it as the legal owner of the Contracts. Nothing
in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute acceptance by the Trustee of
any liability or obligation of the Contract Seller, whether on any Contract, to
any Obligor, or otherwise.
31
(b) The Trustee hereby acknowledges delivery of the Hedge Agreement to the
Trustee and declares that the Trustee holds and will hold the rights to payments
under the Hedge Agreement in trust for the use and benefit of all present and
future Group I Certificateholders and the Insurer.

Insurance Policy to the Co-Trustee and declares that the Co-Trustee holds and
will hold the Certificate Insurance Policy in trust for the use and benefit of
all present and future Holders of the Class I M-2 and Class II M-2 Certificates.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Contract
Seller shall deposit into the applicable Certificate Account all amounts in
respect of the Contracts received by it on or after March 1, 2001 (other than
amounts due on a Due Date occurring prior to March 1, 2001) or otherwise
required to be deposited in the applicable Certificate Account by other
provisions of this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.05.

Agreement by the Servicer will not violate any provision of any existing law or
regulation or any order or decree of any court applicable to the Servicer or the

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES BY THE CONTRACT SELLER
Section 3.01 Representations and Warranties of the Contract Seller.
The Contract Seller makes the following representations and warranties to
the Trustee as of the Closing Date:
(a) Organization and Good Standing; Licensing. It is a limited liability
company, duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the State of Delaware, and it has the power to own its assets and to transact
the business in which it is currently engaged. It is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign limited liability company and is in good standing in each
jurisdiction in which its type of organization and the character of the business
transacted by it or properties owned or leased by it requires such qualification
and in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on

properly licensed in each jurisdiction at the time of purchase or origination of
each Contract originated or purchased on an individual basis by it in such
jurisdiction to the extent required by the laws of such jurisdiction as applied
to the purchase or origination and servicing of such Contract, except where the
failure to be so licensed does not materially adversely affect the interests of
the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders in and to such Contract.
(b) Authorization; Binding Obligations. It has the power and authority to
make, execute, deliver and perform this Agreement and all of the transactions
contemplated under this Agreement, and has taken
34
all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the

rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies.

other party or any consent, license, approval or authorization from, or
registration or declaration with, any governmental authority, bureau or agency
in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or
enforceability of this Agreement, except such as have been obtained or where the
failure to obtain any such consent, license, approval or authorization, or to
make any registration or declaration does not materially adversely affect the
Trust Fund or the interests of the Certificateholders therein.
(d) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this
Agreement by the Contract Seller will not violate any provision of any existing
law or regulation or any order or decree of any court applicable to the Contract
Seller or the certificate of formation or limited liability company agreement of
the Contract Seller, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture,
contract or other agreement to which the Contract Seller is a party or by which
the Contract Seller is bound except where such violation or breach does not
materially adversely affect the Trust Fund or the interests of the
Certificateholders therein.
(e) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any
court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened, against it or any of its properties or with respect to this
Agreement or the Certificates which, if adversely determined, would in the
opinion of the Contract Seller have a material adverse effect on the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement.
(f) Chief Executive Office. Its chief executive office is in California.
Section 3.02 Representations and Warranties Regarding Each Contract.
The Contracts listed on the Contract Schedule have been sold by GreenPoint
in its capacity as Contract Seller to the Trustee on the date of execution and
delivery hereof. As a condition of the purchase by the Trustee, the Contract
Seller represents and warrants to the Trustee as of the Closing Date (except as
otherwise expressly stated):
(a) Payments. As of the Cut-Off Date, no Contract was more than 59 days
delinquent.
(b) No Waivers. The terms of the Contract have not been waived, altered or
modified in any respect, except by instruments or documents identified in the
Contract File or the Land Home Contract File, as applicable.
(c) Binding Obligation. The Contract is the legal, valid and binding
obligation of the Obligor thereunder and is enforceable in accordance with its
terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by laws affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general principles of equity.
(d) No Defenses. The Contract 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 Contract or the exercise of any right
thereunder will not render the Contract 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.
35
(e) Insurance. The Manufactured Home securing the Contract is covered by a
Hazard Insurance Policy in the amount required by Section 4.09. All premiums due
as of the Closing Date on such insurance have been paid in full to the
applicable providers of such insurance.
(f) Origination. To the knowledge of the Contract Seller, the Contract was
either (i) originated by a manufactured housing dealer acting in the regular
course of its business, and purchased on an individual basis by the Contract
Seller in the ordinary course of business, (ii) originated by the Contract
Seller in the ordinary course of business, or (iii) purchased from Bank of
America, FSB, which had originated such Contracts in the ordinary course of its
business.
(g) Lawful Assignment. The Contract was not originated in and is not
subject to the laws of any jurisdiction whose laws would make the transfer of
such Contract from the Contract Seller to the Trustee under this Agreement
unlawful.
(h) Compliance with Law. All requirements of any federal, state or local
law, including usury, truth-in-lending and equal credit opportunity laws and
lender licensing laws, applicable to the Contract have been complied with.
(i) Contract in Force. The Contract has not been satisfied or subordinated
in whole or in part or rescinded, the Manufactured Home securing the Contract
has not been released from the lien of the Contract in whole or in part and, in
the case of a Land Home Contract, the related Mortgaged Property has not been
released from the related Mortgage.
(j) Valid Security Interest. The Contract, other than any Land Home
Contract, creates a valid, subsisting and enforceable (except as may be limited
by laws affecting creditors' rights generally) first-priority security interest
in favor of GreenPoint as secured lender, or agent thereof, in the Manufactured
Home covered thereby; such security interest has been assigned by the Contract
Seller as secured lender to the Trustee in accordance with the terms herein and;
the Trustee has a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in such
Manufactured Home. Each Mortgage is a valid first lien in favor of GreenPoint on
the real property securing the amount owed by the Obligor under the related Land
Home Contract subject only to (a) the lien of current real property taxes and
assessments, (b) covenants, conditions and restrictions, rights of way,
easements and other matters of public record as of the date of recording of such
Mortgage, such exceptions appearing of record being acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally in the area wherein the property subject to the
Mortgage is located or specifically reflected in the appraisal obtained in
connection with the origination of the related Land Home and (c) other matters
to which like properties are commonly subject which do not materially interfere
with the benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage. The
Contract Seller has assigned all of its right, title and interest in such Land
Home Contract and related Mortgage, including the security interest in the
Manufactured Home covered thereby, to the Trustee. The Trustee has a valid and
perfected and enforceable (except as may be limited by laws affecting creditors'
rights generally and by general principles of equity) first priority security
interest in such Land Home Contract.
(k) Capacity of Parties. All parties to the Contract had capacity to
execute the Contract.
(l) Good Title. With respect to each Contract not originated by it, it
purchased such Contract for value and took possession thereof, without knowledge
that the Contract was subject to any security interest. It has not sold,
assigned or pledged the Contract to any Person other than the Trustee, and prior
to the transfer of the Contract by the Contract Seller to the Trustee, it had
good and marketable title thereto free and clear of any encumbrance, equity,
loan, pledge, charge, claim or security interest and was the sole owner thereof
with full right to transfer the Contract to the Trustee.
36
(m) No Defaults. As of the Cut-Off Date, there was no default, breach,
violation or event permitting acceleration existing under the Contract and to
its knowledge, 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 Contract (except payment delinquencies
permitted by clause (a) above). The Contract Seller has not waived any such
default, breach, violation or event permitting acceleration.
(n) No Liens. As of the Closing Date, there are, to its knowledge, no liens
or claims which have been filed for work, labor or materials affecting the
Manufactured Home or any related Mortgaged Property securing the Contract which
are or may be liens prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the
Contract.
(o) Installments. Such Contract provides for monthly payments of principal
and interest which fully amortize the loan over its term. Each Group II Contract
that has converted to a fixed rate of interest and each Group I Contract has a
fixed Contract Rate and each Group II Contract that has not converted to a fixed
rate of interest has a Contract Rate that after an initial period is calculated
based upon the Index plus the Gross Margin. The scheduled monthly payment
allocable to interest on each Contract is calculated on the basis that each
scheduled monthly payment is applied on its Due Date, regardless of when it is
actually made.
(p) Enforceability. The Contract contains customary and enforceable (except
as may be limited by laws affecting creditors' rights generally and by general
principles of equity) provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of
the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the collateral of the
benefits of the security.
(q) Contract Schedule. The information set forth in the Contract Schedule
is true and correct.
(r) One Original. There is only one original executed Contract. Such

a Loan-to-Value Ratio (rounded to the nearest 1%) not greater than 100%.
(t) Not Real Estate. With respect to each Contract other than a Land Home
Contract, the related Manufactured Home is personal property and is not
considered or classified as part of the real estate on which it is located under
the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located and was personal property
and was not considered or classified as part of the real estate on which it was
located under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it was located at the time
the related Contract was executed by the parties thereto, and with respect to
each Contract, including Land Home Contracts, the related Manufactured Home is,
to the Contract Seller's knowledge, free of damage (including earthquake or
hurricane damage) and in good repair.
(u) Notation of Security Interest. With respect to each Contract other than
a Land Home Contract, if the related Manufactured Home is located in a state in
which notation of a security interest on the title document is required or
permitted to perfect such security interest, the title document shows, or, if a
new or replacement title document with respect to such Manufactured Home is
being applied for, such title document will be issued within 180 days and will
show, GreenPoint or BankAmerica Housing Services as the holder of a
first-priority security interest in such Manufactured Home. If the related
Manufactured Home is located in a state in which the filing of a financing
statement or the making of a fixture filing under the UCC is required to perfect
a security interest in manufactured housing, such filings have been duly made
and show GreenPoint or BankAmerica Housing Services as the secured party. If the
related Manufactured Home secures a Land Home Contract, such Manufactured Home
and the related Mortgaged Property is
37
subject to a Mortgage properly filed in the appropriate public recording office
or such Mortgage will be properly filed in the appropriate public recording
office within 180 days, naming GreenPoint as mortgagee. In either case, the
Trustee has the same rights as the secured party of record would have (if such
secured party were still the owner of the Contract) against all Persons
(including the Contract Seller and any trustee in bankruptcy of GreenPoint or
BankAmerica Housing Services) claiming an interest in such Manufactured Home.
Assuming consummation of the transactions contemplated herein the Trustee has
the same rights as the secured party of record would have (if such secured party
were still the owner of the Contract) against all Persons claiming an interest
in such Manufactured Home and, if applicable, such Mortgaged Property.

Development pursuant to Section 2 of the National Housing Act.
(w) Qualified Mortgage for REMIC. Each Contract is secured by a "single
family residence" within the meaning of Section 25(e)(10) of the Code. The fair
market value of the Manufactured Home securing each Contract was at least equal
to 80% of the adjusted issue price of the Contract at either (i) the time the
Contract was originated (determined pursuant to the REMIC Provisions) or (ii)
the time the Contract is transferred to the Trust Fund. Each Contract is a
"qualified mortgage" under Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code.
(x) Stamping of Contracts. Within 60 days of the Closing Date, each
original Contract will have been stamped with the following legend: "This
Contract has been assigned to Bank One, National Association, as Trustee under

thereunder."

There are and there will be no custodial agreements in effect materially and
adversely affecting the right of the Contract Seller to make, or to cause to be
made, any delivery required hereunder.
(b) Bulk Transfer Laws. The transfer, assignment and conveyance of the
Contracts, the Contract Files and the Land Home Contract Files by the Contract
Seller to the Trust Fund as contemplated by this Agreement are not subject to
the bulk transfer or any similar statutory provisions in effect in any
applicable jurisdiction.
Section 3.05 Repurchases of Contracts or Substitution of Contracts for Breach of
Representations and Warranties.
(a) The Contract Seller shall either (i) repurchase a Contract sold by it
to the Trustee at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or (ii) if the Contract
Seller is able to satisfy the conditions of Section 3.05(b), remove such
Contract from the Trust Fund and substitute therefor an Eligible Substitute
Contract in accordance with and subject to the limitations of Section 3.05(b),
in each case within 90 days after the Contract Seller becomes aware, or receives
written notice from the Insurer, the Servicer or the Trustee, of a breach of a
representation or warranty of the Contract Seller set forth in Section 3.02 or
3.03 of this Agreement that materially adversely affects the Trust Fund's
interest in such Contract, unless such breach has been cured; provided, however,
that with respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the Contract Schedule
with respect to remaining principal balance, which the Contract Seller would
otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section 3.05, the Contract
Seller may, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, deposit in the applicable
Certificate Account not later than one Business Day after such Determination
Date cash in an amount sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy; and
further provided, that with respect to a breach of a representation or warranty
relating to the Contracts in the aggregate and not to any particular Contract,
the Contract Seller may select Contracts to repurchase or substitute for such
that, had such Contracts not been included as part of the Contract Pool and
after giving effect to such substitution, if any, there would have been no
breach of such representation or warranty; and further provided, that in
connection with any Contract that the Contract Seller is required to repurchase
or substitute due to a breach of representation or warranty set forth in Section
3.03, the Contract Seller shall at its own expense deliver to the Trustee an
opinion of counsel to the effect that the repurchase of such Contract will not
cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time any Certificate
is outstanding under then applicable REMIC Provisions, be deemed a contribution
to the Trust Fund after the Startup Day or cause any "prohibited transaction,"
in each case, that will result in the imposition of a tax under the applicable
REMIC Provisions. It is understood and agreed that the obligation of the
Contract Seller to repurchase or substitute for any Contract sold by it as to
which a breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section 3.02 or 3.03
of this Agreement has occurred and is continuing shall constitute the sole
remedy respecting such breach available to the Certificateholders, the Trust
Fund or the Trustee; provided, however, that the Contract Seller shall defend
and indemnify the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Trust Fund and the
Certificateholders against all costs, expenses, losses, damages, claims and
liabilities, including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, which may be
asserted against or suffered by any of them as a result of third-party claims
arising out of any breach of a representation or warranty set forth in Section
3.02(c), (d), (g), (h) or (w) of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Contract Seller under this
Section 3.05 shall not terminate upon an Event of Default.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary,
any amount received on or recovered with respect to repurchased Contracts or
Replaced Contracts during or after the
40
month of repurchase shall be the property of the Contract Seller and need not be
deposited in the applicable Certificate Account.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Contract Seller shall not deposit
cash into the Certificate Account pursuant to this Section 3.05 after the
three-month period beginning on the Closing Date unless it shall first have
obtained an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such deposit will not give
rise to any tax under Section 860F(a) (1) of the Code or Section 860G(d) of the
Code. Any such deposit shall not be invested.
The Trustee shall have no obligation to pay any taxes pursuant to this
Section 3.05, other than from moneys provided to it by the Contract Seller or
from moneys held therefor pursuant to Section 4.17. The Trustee shall be deemed
conclusively to have complied with this Section 3.05 if it follows the
directions of the Contract Seller required to be provided in the preceding
paragraph. Upon the repurchase of any Contract by the Contract Seller, the
Trustee shall delete such Contract from the Contract Schedule.
Notwithstanding the above provisions of this Section 3.05(a), the
Contract Seller shall not be required to repurchase or substitute for any
Contract relating to a Manufactured Home located in any jurisdiction on account
of a breach of the representation or warranty contained in Section 3.02(j) or
(u) of this Agreement solely on the basis of failure by the Contract Seller to
cause notations to be made on any document of title relating to any such
Manufactured Home or to execute any transfer instrument (including any UCC-3
assignments) relating to any such Manufactured Home (other than a notation or a
transfer instrument necessary to show the Contract Seller as lienholder or legal
title holder) unless (i) a court of competent jurisdiction has adjudged that,
because of such failure, the Trustee does not have a perfected first-priority
security interest in such related Manufactured Home, or (ii) (A) the Contract
Seller has received written advice of counsel to the effect that a court of
competent jurisdiction has held that, solely because of a substantially similar
failure on the part of a pledgor or assignor of manufactured housing contracts
(who has perfected the assignment or pledge of such contracts), a perfected
first-priority security interest was not created in favor of the pledgee or
assignee (as the case may be) in a related manufactured home which is located in
such jurisdiction and which is subject to the same laws regarding the perfection
of security interests therein as apply to Manufactured Homes located in such
jurisdiction, and (B) the Contract Seller shall not have completed all
appropriate remedial action with respect to such Manufactured Home within 90
days after receipt of such written advice. Any such advice shall be from counsel
selected by the Contract Seller on a nondiscriminatory basis from among the
counsel used by the Contract Seller in its general business in the jurisdiction
in question. The Contract Seller shall have no obligation on an ongoing basis to
seek any advice with respect to the matters described in clause (ii) above.
However, the Contract Seller shall seek advice with respect to such matters
whenever information comes to the attention of its general counsel which causes
such general counsel to determine that a holding of the type described in clause
(ii)(A) might exist. If any counsel selected by the Contract Seller informs the
Contract Seller that no holding of the type described in clause (ii)(A) exists,
such advice shall be conclusive and binding on the parties with respect to the
applicable date and jurisdiction.
(b) On or prior to the date that is the second anniversary of the Closing
Date, the Contract Seller, at its election, may substitute a Contract for any
Contract that it is otherwise obligated to repurchase pursuant to Section
3.05(a) (such Contract being referred to as the "Replaced Contract") upon
satisfaction of the following conditions:
(i) the Contract to be substituted for the Replaced Contract is an
Eligible Substitute Contract and the Contract Seller delivers an Officer's
Certificate, substantially in the form of Exhibit E, to the Trustee
certifying that such Contract is an Eligible Substitute Contract,
describing in reasonable detail how such Contract satisfies the definition
of the term "Eligible Substitute
41
Contract" (as to satisfaction of representations and warranties, such
description shall be that such Contract satisfies such representations and
warranties) and certifying that the Contract File or the Land Home Contract
File, as applicable, for such Contract is in the possession of the
Servicer;
(ii) the Contract Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee evidence
of filing with the appropriate filing office of a UCC-1 financing statement
executed by the Contract Seller as debtor and naming the Trustee as secured
party and listing such Contract as collateral;
(iii) the Contract Seller shall have delivered to the Trustee an
Opinion of Counsel (a) to the effect that the substitution of such Contract
for such Replaced Contract will not (1) cause the Trust Fund to fail to
qualify as a REMIC at any time any Certificate is outstanding under then
applicable REMIC Provisions, (2) be deemed a contribution to the Trust Fund
after the Startup Day or (3) cause any "prohibited transaction," in each
case, that will result in the imposition of a tax under the applicable
REMIC Provisions, and (b) to the effect that, except as to Contracts that
are Land Home Contracts, no filing or other action other than the filing of
financing statements on Form UCC-1 with the filing offices listed therein,
naming the Contract Seller as debtor and the Trustee as secured party as
required by Section 3.05(a) of this Agreement and the filing of
continuation statements as required by Section 2.02(a) is necessary to
perfect as against third parties the conveyance of the substitute Contract
by the Contract Seller to the Trustee; and
(iv) if the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Replaced Contract is
greater than the Scheduled Principal Balance of such Contract, the Contract
Seller shall have deposited in the applicable Certificate Account the
amount of such excess (which amount shall be deemed a Principal Prepayment
on such Contract) and shall have included in the Officer's Certificate
required by clause (i) above a certification that such deposit has been
made.
Upon satisfaction of such conditions, the Trustee shall add such
Contract to, and delete such Replaced Contract from, the Contract Schedule (or
cause such addition and deletion to be accomplished). Such substitution shall be
effected prior to the first Determination Date that occurs more than 90 days
after the Contract Seller becomes aware or receives written notice from the
Servicer or the Trustee, of the breach referred to in Section 3.05(a).
(c) Promptly after the repurchase referred to in Section 3.05(a) or the
substitution referred to in Section 3.05(b), the Trustee shall execute such
documents as are presented to it by the Contract Seller and are reasonably
necessary to reconvey the repurchased Contract or Replaced Contract, as the case
may be, to the Contract Seller.
(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 3.05 to the contrary, in the
event any Opinion of Counsel referred to in this Section 3.05 indicates that a
repurchase or substitution, as the case may be, of a Contract will result in the
imposition of a tax under the applicable REMIC Provisions with respect to
"prohibited transactions," or deemed a contribution to the REMIC after the
"start-up day," the Contract Seller shall not be required to repurchase or
substitute the Contract to which such Opinion of Counsel relates unless and
until the Servicer has determined there is an actual or imminent default with
respect thereto or that the defect or breach giving rise to the repurchase or
substitution obligation adversely affects the enforceability of such Contract.
42
Section 3.06 General.
(a) It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties in
this Article III hereof shall remain operative and in full force and effect,
shall survive the transfer and conveyance of the Contracts by the Contract
Seller to the Trustee and shall inure to the benefit of the Trustee.
(b) Any cause of action against the Contract Seller relating to or arising
out of the breach of any of its representations and warranties made in this
Article III shall accrue as to any Contract upon (i) discovery of such breach by
the Contract Seller or notice thereof by the Trustee or Servicer to the Contract
Seller, (ii) failure by the Contract Seller to cure such breach, and (iii)
demand upon the Contract Seller by the Trustee for all amounts payable in
respect of such Contract under this Agreement.
ARTICLE IV
ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS
Section 4.01 Responsibility for Contract Administration and Servicing.
GreenPoint hereby agrees to act as Servicer under this Agreement. The
Certificateholders by their acceptance of the Certificates consent to GreenPoint
acting as Servicer. The Servicer shall service and administer the Contracts and,
subject to the terms of this Agreement, shall have full power and authority to
do any and all things which it may deem necessary or desirable in connection
with such servicing and administration. Subject to Section 4.02, without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer hereby is authorized and
empowered, when the Servicer believes it appropriate in its best judgment, to
execute and deliver, on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund or
any of them, any and all instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of
partial or full release or discharge and all other comparable instruments, with
respect to the Contracts, with respect to the Manufactured Homes and with
respect to the Mortgaged Property. The Trustee shall furnish the Servicer with
any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable
the Servicer to service and administer the Contracts. The relationship of the
Servicer (and of any successor to the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement)
to the Trustee under this Agreement is intended by the parties to be that of an
independent contractor and not that of a joint venturer, partner or agent of the
Trustee.
Section 4.02 Standard of Care.
In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the
Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer will, consistent with the
terms of this Agreement and applicable law, act with reasonable care, using that
degree of skill and care that it exercises with respect to similar manufactured
housing contracts owned and/or serviced by it, but in no event using a degree of
skill and care that is lower than that used generally in the servicing industry
for such manufactured housing contracts; provided, however, that notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Servicer shall not release or waive the right to collect the
unpaid balance on any Contract except if default or foreclosure on such Contract
has occurred or in the reasonable judgment of the Servicer is imminent and such
waiver or release is in the best interest of the Trust, in the reasonable
judgement of the Servicer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
this Agreement, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed so as to
require the Servicer to take any action or fail to take any action in respect of
a Contract which action or failure violates applicable law.
43
Section 4.03 Records.
The Servicer, during the period it is Servicer hereunder, shall maintain
such books of account and other records as will enable the Trustee (if the
Trustee so elects in its discretion) to determine the status of each Contract.
Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the Servicer shall
keep such records in respect of Liquidation Expenses as will enable the Trustee
(if the Trustee so elects in its discretion) to determine that the correct
amount of Net Liquidation Proceeds in respect of a Liquidated Contract has been
deposited in the applicable Certificate Account.
Section 4.04 Inspection.
(a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the
Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business hours
to the Servicer's records relating to the Contracts and will cause its personnel
to assist in any examination of such records by the Trustee or any of its
authorized agents. The examination referred to in this Section 4.04 will be
conducted in a manner which does not interfere unreasonably with the Servicer's
normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting
the scope of the examination which the Trustee may make, the Trustee or its
authorized agents, using generally accepted audit procedures, may in their
discretion verify the status of each Contract and review the records relating
thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Article V and
compliance with the standards represented to exist as to each Contract in this
Agreement.
(b) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall keep available
a copy of the Contract Schedule at its principal executive office for inspection
by Certificate Owners.
Section 4.05 Establishment of and Deposits in Certificate Account.
On or before the Closing Date, the Trustee shall have established, and
thereafter shall maintain, (i) the Group I Certificate Account, which is an
Eligible Account, in the form of a segregated trust account titled "GreenPoint
Manufactured Housing Contract Trust, Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-1,
Group I Certificate Account in trust for the Trustee as trustee for the benefit
of the Group I Certificateholders" and (ii) the Group II Certificate Account,
which is an Eligible Account, in the form of a segregated trust account titled
"GreenPoint Manufactured Housing Contract Trust, Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2001-1, Group II Certificate Account in trust for the Trustee as trustee
for the benefit of the Group II Certificateholders." As of the Closing Date,
each Certificate Account shall be a segregated trust account established at Bank
One, National Association and shall be invested in the One Group Institutional
Prime Money Market Fund (as long as such fund is an Eligible Investment) or
other similar Eligible Investment selected by the Trustee. Eligible Investments
shall mature or, in the case of a money market fund, be redeemed not later than
the Business Day immediately preceding the Distribution Date next following the
date of such investment (except that, if such Eligible Investment is an
obligation of the institution that maintains the Certificate Accounts, then such
Eligible Investments shall mature or, in the case of a money market fund, be
redeemed not later than such Distribution Date), and shall not be sold or
disposed of prior to its maturity. All such Eligible Investments shall be made
in the name of the Trustee, as trustee for the benefit of the
Certificateholders. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Trustee shall select obligations for the investment of the Certificate Accounts
from among the investments specified in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of
"Eligible Investments." The Trustee shall select such Eligible Investments,
which shall mature as provided above, in such manner as to achieve the following
objectives in the order stated: (1) preservation of principal values; and (2)
maximization of income.
All net income and gain realized from any such investments, to the extent
provided by this Agreement, shall be added to the applicable Certificate
Account.
44

and interest on the Group I Contracts (including Excess Contract Payments

Certificate Account or Group II Certificate Account, as applicable, all
Enhancement Payments made pursuant to Section 5.08 and received by the
Co-Trustee from the Insurer. The Trustee shall deposit in the Group I
Certificate Account or Group II Certificate Account, as applicable, all
Enhancement Payments received from the Co-Trustee.
Section 4.06 Payment of Taxes.
If the Servicer becomes aware of the nonpayment by an Obligor of a real or
personal property tax or other tax or charge which may result in a lien upon a
Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property prior to,
45
or equal to or coordinate with, the lien of the related Contract, the Servicer,
consistent with Section 4.02, shall take action, including the advancing, but
only to the extent that the Servicer deems, in its sole judgement, such advance
recoverable, of such taxes or charges to avoid the attachment of any such lien.
If the Servicer shall have paid any such real or personal property tax or other
tax or charge directly on behalf of an Obligor, the Servicer may separately add
such amount to the Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but, for
the purposes of this Agreement, may not add such amount to the remaining
principal balance of the Contract. If the Servicer shall have repossessed a
Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property on behalf of the Certificateholders and
the Trustee, the Servicer shall advance, but only to the extent that the
Servicer, in its sole judgment, deems such advance recoverable, the amount of
any such tax or charge arising during the time such Manufactured Home is in the
Servicer's possession or title to the Mortgaged Property is in the name of the
Servicer (or any Person acting on behalf of the Servicer), unless the Servicer
is contesting in good faith such tax or charge or the validity of the claimed
lien on such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property. If the Obligor does not
reimburse the Servicer for payment of such taxes or charges pursuant to this
Section 4.06 and the related Contract is liquidated after a default, the
Servicer shall be reimbursed for its payment of such taxes or charges out of the
related Liquidation Proceeds. If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to
reimburse the Servicer for any such premiums, the amount of such insufficiency
shall constitute, and be reimbursable to the Servicer as, a Nonrecoverable
Advance.
Section 4.07 Enforcement.
(a) The Servicer, consistent with Section 4.02, shall act with respect to
the Contracts in such manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and
interest on such Contracts.
(b) The Servicer shall xxx to enforce or collect upon Contracts and, where
permitted by applicable law, may, in its sole judgment, xxx to collect any
Deficiency at its own expense, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the
Trustee in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust Fund. If the
Servicer elects to commence a legal proceeding to enforce a Contract, the act of
commencement shall be deemed to be an automatic assignment of the Contract 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 Contract
on the ground that it is not a real party in interest or a holder entitled to
enforce the Contract, the Trustee shall, at the Servicer's expense, take such
steps as the Servicer deems necessary to enforce the Contract, including
bringing suit in its name or the names of the Certificateholders. If there has
been a recovery of attorneys' fees in favor of the Servicer or the Trust Fund in
an action involving the enforcement of a Contract, the Servicer shall be
reimbursed out of such recovery for its out-of-pocket attorney's fees and
expenses incurred in such enforcement action.
(c) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third
persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with Section 4.02.
In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is authorized on the Trustee's
behalf to reassign the Contract or to resell the related Manufactured Home and,
if applicable, the Mortgaged Property, to the Person against whom recourse
exists at the price set forth in the document creating the recourse.
(d) The Servicer may grant to the Obligor on any Contract any rebate,
refund or adjustment out of the applicable Certificate Account that is required
because of an overpayment in connection with the partial prepayment or
prepayment in full of the Contract or otherwise. The Servicer may rescind,
cancel or make material modifications of the terms of any Contract (including
modifying the amounts and due dates of scheduled monthly payments); provided
that, unless required by applicable law or to bring Contracts into conformity
with the representations and warranties contained in Article III, the Servicer
will not permit any rescission or cancellation of any Contract or any material
modification of a Contract other than in
46
connection with a default or an imminent default on such Contract unless the
Servicer obtains an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that such modification will
not cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC or result in the
imposition of taxes on the Trust Fund under the REMIC Provisions.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer may, without an Opinion of Counsel,
make a one-time modification to the Contract Rate with respect to any Contract
by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 5% of such Contract Rate and (ii) 0.50%
provided, however, that the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balance of the
Contracts so modified shall in no event exceed 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool
Principal Balance.
Section 4.08 Transfer of Certificate Accounts.
The Trustee may transfer either Certificate Account to a different
depository institution from time to time, so long as such Certificate Account
remains an Eligible Account. The Trustee shall give notice of any transfer of a
Certificate Account to each Rating Agency prior to such transfer.
Section 4.09 Maintenance of Hazard Insurance Policies.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 4.09,
the Servicer shall cause to be maintained with respect to each Contract one or
more Hazard Insurance Policies which provide, at a minimum, the same coverage as
a standard form fire and extended coverage insurance policy that is customary
for manufactured housing, issued by a company authorized to issue such policies
in the state in which the Manufactured Home is located, and in an amount which
is not less than the maximum insurable value of such Manufactured Home or the
principal balance of the related Contract, whichever is less; provided that such
Hazard Insurance Policies may provide for customary deductible amounts, and
further provided that the amount of coverage provided by each Hazard Insurance
Policy shall be sufficient to avoid the application of any co-insurance clause
contained therein. If a Manufactured Home is located within a federally
designated special flood hazard area, the Servicer shall, to the extent required
by applicable law or regulation, also cause flood insurance to be maintained,
which coverage shall be at least equal to the minimum amount specified in the
preceding sentence or such lesser amount as may be available under the federal
flood insurance program. Each Hazard Insurance Policy caused to be maintained by
the Servicer shall contain a standard loss payee clause in favor of the Servicer
and its successors and assigns. If any Obligor is in default in the payment of
premiums on its Hazard Insurance Policy or Policies, the Servicer shall advance
such premiums out of its own funds (but only to the extent that it deems, in its
sole judgment, that such advances are recoverable), and may add separately such
premium to the Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but may not add
such premium to the remaining principal balance of the Contract for purposes of
this Agreement. If the Obligor does not reimburse the Servicer for payment of
such premiums and the related Contract is liquidated after a default, the
Servicer shall be reimbursed for its payment of such premiums out of the related
Liquidation Proceeds.
(b) The Servicer may, in lieu of causing individual Hazard Insurance
Policies to be maintained with respect to each Manufactured Home pursuant to
subsection (a) of this Section 4.09, and shall, to the extent that the related
Contract does not require the Obligor to maintain a Hazard Insurance Policy with
respect to the related Manufactured Home, maintain one or more blanket insurance
policies covering losses as provided in subsection (a) of this Section 4.09
resulting from the absence or insufficiency of individual Hazard Insurance
Policies. Any such blanket policy shall be substantially in the form that is the
industry standard for blanket insurance policies issued to cover Manufactured
Homes and in the amount sufficient to cover all losses on the Contracts. The
Servicer shall pay, out of its own funds, the premium for such policy on the
basis described therein and shall deposit in the applicable Certificate Account,
on the Business Day next preceding the Determination Date following the
Collection Period in which the insurance proceeds from claims in respect of any
Contracts under such blanket policy are or should have been received, the
deductible amount with respect to such claims. The Servicer shall not, however,
be required to deposit any
47
deductible amount with respect to claims under individual Hazard Insurance
Policies maintained pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section 4.09.
(c) If the Servicer shall have repossessed a Manufactured Home on behalf of
the Trustee, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain at its expense, but only to
the extent that it deems, in its sole judgment, such expense recoverable, a
Hazard Insurance Policy with respect to such Manufactured Home, or (ii)
indemnify, to the extent that the Servicer should have maintained such Hazard
Insurance Policy pursuant to subclause (i) of this clause (c), the Trust Fund
against any damage to such Manufactured Home prior to resale or other
disposition that would have been covered by such Hazard Insurance Policy.
(d) Any cost incurred by the Servicer in maintaining any of the foregoing
insurance, for the purpose of calculating monthly distributions to
Certificateholders, shall not be added to the amount owing under the Contract,
notwithstanding that the terms of the Contract so permit. Except as provided in
the final sentence of this paragraph, the Servicer shall not be entitled to
reimbursement from the Contract Seller, the Trustee or the Certificateholders
for such costs. Such costs (other than the cost of the blanket policy) shall
only be recovered out of later payments by the Obligor for such premiums or, if
the related Contract is liquidated after a default, out of the related
Liquidation Proceeds. If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for any such premiums, the amount of such insufficiency shall
constitute, and be reimbursable to the Servicer as, a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 4.10 Fidelity Bond and Errors and Omissions Insurance.
The Servicer shall maintain, at its own expense, a blanket fidelity bond
and an errors and omissions insurance policy, with broad coverage with
responsible companies acceptable to FNMA and FHLMC, on all officers, employees
or other persons acting in any capacity with regard to the Contracts to handle
funds, money, documents and papers relating to the Contracts. Any such fidelity
bond and errors and omissions insurance shall protect and insure the Servicer
against losses, including forgery, theft, embezzlement, fraud, errors and
omissions and negligent acts of such persons. No provision of this Section 4.10
requiring such fidelity bond and errors and omissions insurance shall diminish
or relieve the Servicer from its duties and obligations as set forth in this
Agreement. The minimum coverage under any such bond and insurance policy shall
be in an amount as is customary for servicers that service a portfolio of
manufactured housing installment sales contracts of $100 million or more and
that are generally acceptable as servicers to institutional investors. On or
before April 1 of every year, the Servicer shall cause to be delivered to the
Trustee a certified true copy of such fidelity bond and insurance policy and a
statement from the surety and the insurer that such fidelity bond or insurance
policy shall in no event be terminated or materially modified without 30 days'
prior written notice to the Trustee.
Section 4.11 Collections under Hazard Insurance Policies, Consent to Transfers
of Manufactured Homes, Assumption Agreements.
(a) In connection with its activities as Servicer of the Contracts, the
Servicer agrees to present, on behalf of itself, the Trustee and the
Certificateholders, claims to the insurer under any Hazard Insurance Policies
and, in this regard, to take such reasonable action as shall be necessary to
permit recovery under any Hazard Insurance Policies or any blanket policies
obtained pursuant to Section 4.09(b) (except that the Servicer shall not be
required to make any advances that the Servicer believes, in its sole judgment,
would become a nonrecoverable advance). Any amounts collected by the Servicer
under any such Hazard Insurance Policies shall be deposited in the applicable
Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.05, except to the extent they are
applied to the restoration of the related Manufactured Home or released to the
related Obligor in accordance with the normal servicing procedures of the
Servicer.
48
(b) In connection with any transfer of ownership of a Manufactured Home
and, if applicable, the related Mortgaged Property, by an Obligor to a Person,
the Servicer shall consent to any such transfer and permit the assumption by
such Person of the Contract related to such Manufactured Home, provided that (i)
such Person, in the judgment of the Servicer, meets the Servicer's underwriting
standards then in effect, (ii) such Person enters into an assumption agreement,
(iii) the Servicer determines that permitting such assumption by such Person
will not materially increase the risk of nonpayment of such Contract and (iv)
such action will not adversely affect or jeopardize any coverage under any
insurance policy required by this Agreement. In the event the Servicer
determines that the conditions of the proviso of the preceding sentence have not
been fulfilled, then the Servicer shall withhold its consent to any such
transfer, but only to the extent permitted under the Contract and applicable law
and governmental regulations and only to the extent that such action will not
adversely affect or jeopardize any coverage under any insurance policy required
by this Agreement. In connection with any such assumption, the rate of interest
borne by, and all other material terms of, the related Contract shall not be
changed.
(c) In any case in which a Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property is to be
conveyed to a Person by an Obligor, and such Person is to enter into an
assumption agreement or modification agreement or supplement to the Contract in
accordance with Section 4.11(b) or Section 4.07(d), upon the closing of such
conveyance, the Servicer shall cause the originals of the assumption agreement,
the release (if any), or the modification or supplement to the Contract to be
deposited with the Contract File or the Land Home Contract File, as applicable,
for such Contract. Any fee collected by the Servicer for entering into an
assumption or substitution of liability agreement with respect to such Contract
will be retained by the Servicer as additional servicing compensation.
Section 4.12 Realization upon Defaulted Contracts.
Subject to applicable law, the Servicer shall repossess, foreclose upon or
otherwise comparably convert the ownership of Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged
Property securing all Contracts that come into default and which the Servicer
believes in its good faith business judgment will not be brought current.
Subject to Section 4.17, the Servicer shall manage, conserve and protect such
Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged Property for the purposes of their prompt
disposition and sale, and shall dispose of such Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged
Property on such terms and conditions as it deems in the best interests of the
Certificateholders. If the Servicer has actual knowledge that a Mortgaged
Property is affected by hazardous waste, then the Servicer shall not cause the
Trust Fund or the Trustee to acquire title to such Mortgaged Property in a
foreclosure or similar proceeding. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the
Servicer shall not be deemed to have actual knowledge that a Mortgaged Property
is affected by hazardous waste unless it shall have received written notice that
hazardous waste is present on such property and such written notice has been
made a part of the Land Home Contract File with respect to the related Contract.
In connection with such activities, the Servicer shall follow such practices and
procedures as are consistent with Section 4.02.
Section 4.13 Costs and Expenses.
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all costs and expenses
incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties under this Agreement,
including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of
Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts and repossessions of
Manufactured Homes and Mortgaged Property securing such Contracts), shall be
paid by the Servicer, and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement
hereunder, except to the extent such reimbursement is specifically provided for
in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall be
reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of a defaulted Contract for
Liquidation Expenses incurred by it in realizing upon the related Manufactured
Home and Mortgaged Property, including, but not limited to: (i) costs of
49
refurbishing and securing such Manufactured Home; (ii) transportation expenses
incurred in moving the Manufactured Home; (iii) reasonable legal fees and
expenses of outside counsel; and (iv) sales commissions paid to Persons that are
not Affiliates of the Servicer. The Servicer shall not incur any Liquidation
Expenses unless it determines in its good faith business judgment that incurring
such expenses will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds from such Manufactured
Home and Mortgaged Property and that the Servicer will be reimbursed for such
Liquidation Expenses. If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for any such Liquidation Expenses, the amount of such insufficiency
shall constitute, and be reimbursable to the Servicer as, a Nonrecoverable
Advance.
Section 4.14 Trustee to Cooperate.
(a) Upon payment in full of any Contract, the Servicer will notify the
Trustee on the next Distribution Date by a certificate of a Servicing Officer
(which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts
received or to be received in connection with such payment which are required to
be deposited in the applicable Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.05 have
been deposited). The Servicer is authorized to execute an instrument in
satisfaction of such Contract and to do such other acts and execute such other
documents as the Servicer deems necessary to discharge the Obligor thereunder
and eliminate the security interest in the Manufactured Home. The Servicer shall
determine when a Contract has been paid in full. To the extent insufficient
payments are received on a Contract mistakenly determined by the Servicer to be
prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall be paid by the
Servicer out of its own funds by deposit into the applicable Certificate
Account.
(b) From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosure in
connection with any Land Home Contract, the Trustee shall, upon written request
of a Servicing Officer and delivery to the Trustee of a receipt signed by such
Servicing Officer, cause the original Land Home Contract and the related Land
Home Contract 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 Land Home Contract to
be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Land Home Contract has been
assigned to the Trustee.
(c) The Servicer's receipt of a Land Home Contract and/or Land Home
Contract File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Land Home
Contract and the related Land Home Contract File to the Trustee, or any person
acting on behalf of the Trustee, when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless
the Contract shall be paid in full, liquidated, repurchased or replaced as
described in Section 3.05.
(d) Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Trustee shall, at the expense
of the Servicer, perform such acts as are reasonably requested by the Servicer
(including the execution of documents) and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer
in the enforcement of rights and remedies with respect to Contracts.
Section 4.15 Servicing and Other Compensation.
(a) The Servicer, as compensation for its activities hereunder including
the payment of fees and expenses of the Trustee, the Certificate Administrator
and the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 9.05, shall be entitled to receive on
each Distribution Date the Monthly Servicing Fee and Repossession Profits
pursuant to Section 5.03.
(b) Additional servicing compensation in the form of Servicer Deficiency
Amounts, Late Payment Fees or Extension Fees and any transfer of equity or
assumption fees shall be retained by the Servicer. The Servicer shall not be
reimbursed for its costs and expenses in servicing the Contracts except as
otherwise expressly provided herein.
50
(c) No transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition of the Servicer's right
to receive all or any portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee shall be made, and
any such attempted transfer, sale, pledge or other disposition shall be void,
unless such transfer is made to a successor Servicer in connection with the
assumption by such successor Servicer of the duties hereunder pursuant to
Section 7.07 and all (and not a portion) of the Monthly Servicing Fee is
transferred to such successor Servicer.
Section 4.16 Custody of Contracts.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 4.16, the Servicer
agrees to act as custodian of the Contract Files (other than the Land Home
Contract Files) for the benefit of the Certificateholders and the Trust Fund.
The Certificateholders by their acceptance of the Certificates, consent to the
Servicer acting as custodian, and the Servicer agrees to maintain the Contract
Files (other than the Land Home Contract Files) as custodian therefor.
(b) The Servicer agrees to maintain the related Contract Files (other than
the Land Home Contract Files) at its offices where they are presently
maintained, or at such other offices of the Servicer in the State of California
as shall from time to time be identified to the Trustee by ten days' prior
written notice. The Servicer may temporarily move individual Contract Files,
Land Home Contract Files or, in each case, any portion thereof without notice as
necessary to conduct collection and other servicing activities in accordance
with its customary practices and procedures.
(c) As custodian, the Servicer shall have and perform the following powers
and duties:
(i) hold the Contract Files (other than the Land Home Contract Files)
on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee, maintain accurate
records pertaining to each Contract to enable it to comply with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, maintain a current inventory thereof and
conduct annual physical inspections of Contract Files held by it under this
Agreement;
(ii) implement policies and procedures in writing and signed by a
Servicing Officer, with respect to persons authorized to have access to the
Contract Files on the Servicer's premises and the receipting for Contract
Files taken from their storage area by an employee of the Servicer for
purposes of servicing or any other purposes; and
(iii) attend to all details in connection with maintaining custody of
the Contract Files on behalf of the Certificateholders and the Trustee.
(d) In performing its duties under this Section 4.16, the Servicer agrees
to act in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Section 4.02. The
Servicer shall promptly report to the Trustee any failure by it to hold the
Contract Files as herein provided, and shall promptly take appropriate action to
remedy any such failure. In acting as custodian of the Contract Files, the
Servicer further agrees not to assert any ownership interests in the Contracts
or the Contract Files. The Servicer agrees to indemnify the Certificateholders
and the Trustee for any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
payments, costs or expenses of any kind whatsoever which may be imposed on,
incurred or asserted against the Certificateholders and the Trustee as the
result of any act or omission by the Servicer relating to the maintenance and
custody of the Contract Files that constitutes a breach of the Servicer's
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that the Servicer will not be liable
for any portion of any such amount resulting from the negligence or willful
misconduct of any other Person.
(e) Not later than 60 days from the Closing Date, the Contract Seller shall
deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Trustee the following:
51
(i) the Land Home Contract Files;
(ii) the original Land Home Contracts stamped as provided in Section
3.02(x) (which such stamp may be manual or facsimile signature) on behalf
of the Contract Seller; and
(iii) Assignments from the Contract Seller to the Trustee, which
Assignments shall be in form and substance for recording, but shall not be
recorded except as required by Section 4.22 below;
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 4.16(e), in
those instances where the public recording office retains the original Mortgage,
the Assignment of the Mortgage or the intervening Assignments of the Mortgage
after it has been recorded, the Contract Seller shall be deemed to have
satisfied its obligations hereunder upon delivery to the Trustee of a copy of
such Mortgage, such Assignment or Assignments of Mortgage certified by the
public recording office to be a true copy of the recorded original thereof.
Within 90 days following the Closing Date, the Trustee shall review each
Land Home Contract File to determine that all required documents set forth in
each item of the first paragraph of this Section 4.16(e) have been executed and
received and that such documents relate to the Land Home Contracts identified on
the Contract Schedule. For purposes of this determination, the Trustee may rely
on the purported due execution and genuineness of any signature thereon. If
within such 90 day period the Trustee finds that any document constituting a
part of a Land Home Contract File was not executed, defective or received or is
unrelated to the Land Home Contracts identified in the Contract Schedule (in
this Section 4.16(e), a "defect"), the Trustee shall promptly upon the
conclusion of its review notify the Servicer and the Servicer shall notify the
Contract Seller. The Contract Seller shall have a period of 90 days from receipt
of such notice within which to correct or cure any such defect after the
Contract Seller has been notified of such. If the Contract Seller cannot correct
or cure any such defect with respect to a Land Home Contract within such 90 day
period, it shall comply with the provisions of Section 3.05 hereof.
If recordation of any Assignment is required hereunder, the original of
each such recorded Assignment shall be delivered to the Trustee within 10 days
following the date on which it is returned to the Contract Seller by the office
with which such Assignment was filed for recordation. Upon receipt by the
Trustee of the recorded Assignment, such recorded Assignment shall become part
of the Land Home Contract File.
(f) Custodial Arrangements. The Trustee may appoint a custodian who is
acceptable to the Servicer and the Contract Seller and who, upon execution of a
custodial agreement, shall maintain possession of the Land Home Contract Files,
together with assignments in recordable form, or such part of them as the
Trustee shall direct, as agent of the Trustee pursuant to the terms of such
custodial agreement. The appointment of such custodian shall not relieve the
Trustee of its obligations hereunder. The Trustee will notify the Rating
Agencies upon the appointment of any custodian.
The Trustee shall keep the Servicer apprised at all times after the Closing
Date of the location of the Land Home Contract Files. The Trustee shall take all
steps that are reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to facilitate the
Servicer's access to the Land Home Contract Files during normal business hours
of the Trustee or any custodian and shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in
securing such access.
52
Section 4.17 REMIC Compliance.
(a) The REMIC Administrator shall make an election to treat the Trust Fund
(other than the Hedge Agreement) as a REMIC under the Code and, if necessary,
under applicable state law. Such election will be made on Form 1066 or other
appropriate federal tax or information return (including Form 8811) or any
appropriate state return for the taxable year ending on the last day of the
calendar year in which the Certificates are issued. For the purposes of the
REMIC election in respect of the Trust Fund, each of the Group I Certificates
and Group II Certificates (exclusive of any payments received thereon pursuant
to the interest in the Hedge Agreement represented thereby) shall be designated
as the "regular interests" and the Class R Certificates shall be designated as
the sole class of "residual interests" in the REMIC. The REMIC Administrator and
the Trustee shall not permit the creation of any "interests" (within the meaning
of Section 860G of the Code) in the REMIC other than the Certificates.
(b) The Closing Date is hereby designated as the "startup day" (the
"Startup Date") of the Trust Fund within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(9) of
the Code.
(c) The REMIC Administrator shall at all times hold a Class R Certificate
representing a 0.01% Percentage Interest of all Class R Certificates and shall
be designated as "the tax matters person" with respect to the REMIC in the
manner provided under Treasury Regulations section 1.860F-4(d) and temporary
Treasury Regulations section 301.6231(a)(7)-1T. The REMIC Administrator, as tax
matters person, shall (i) act on behalf of the REMIC in relation to any tax
matter or controversy involving the Trust Fund and (ii) represent the Trust Fund
in any administrative or judicial proceeding relating to an examination or audit
by any governmental taxing authority with respect thereto. The legal expenses,
including without limitation attorneys' or accountants' fees, and costs of any
such proceeding and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses of the
Trust Fund and the REMIC Administrator shall be entitled to reimbursement
therefor out of amounts attributable to the Contracts on deposit in the
applicable Certificate Account provided by Section 5.03 unless such legal
expenses and costs are incurred by reason of the REMIC Administrator's willful
misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. If the REMIC Administrator is not
the Servicer hereunder, the REMIC Administrator shall perform its duties as tax
matters person and shall be paid reasonable compensation not to exceed $3,000
per year by the Servicer hereunder for so acting as the REMIC Administrator.
(d) The REMIC Administrator shall prepare or cause to be prepared all of
the tax returns that it determines are required with respect to the REMIC
created hereunder and deliver such tax returns in a timely manner to the Trustee
and the Trustee shall sign and file such tax returns in a timely manner. The
expenses of preparing such returns shall be borne by the REMIC Administrator
without any right of reimbursement therefor. The REMIC Administrator agrees to
indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee with respect to any tax liability
arising from the Trustee's signing of tax returns that contain errors or
omissions. The Trustee and Servicer shall promptly provide the REMIC
Administrator with such information as the REMIC Administrator may from time to
time request for the purpose of enabling the REMIC Administrator to prepare tax
returns.
(e) The REMIC Administrator shall provide (i) to any transferor of a Class
R Certificate such information as is necessary for the application of any tax
relating to the transfer of a Class R Certificate to any Person who is not a
Permitted Transferee, (ii) to the Trustee and the Trustee shall forward to the
Certificateholders such information or reports as are required by the Code or
the REMIC Provisions including reports relating to interest, original issue
discount and market discount or premium and (iii) to the Internal Revenue
Service the name, title, address and telephone number of the person who will
serve as the representative of the REMIC.
53
(f) The REMIC Administrator and the Servicer shall take such actions and
shall cause the REMIC created hereunder to take such actions as are reasonably
within the REMIC Administrator's or the Servicer's control and the scope of its
duties more specifically set forth herein as shall be necessary or desirable to
maintain the status thereof as a REMIC under the REMIC Provisions (and the
Trustee shall assist the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator, to the extent
reasonably requested by the Servicer and the REMIC Administrator to do so). The
REMIC Administrator and the Servicer shall not knowingly or intentionally take
any action, cause the Trust Fund to take any action or fail to take (or fail to
cause to be taken) any action reasonably within their respective control that,
under the REMIC Provisions, if taken or not taken, as the case may be, could (i)
endanger the status of the REMIC as a REMIC or (ii) result in the imposition of
a tax upon the REMIC (including but not limited to the tax on prohibited
transactions as defined in Section 860F(a)(2) of the Code and the tax on
contributions to a REMIC set forth in Section 860(G)(d) of the Code) (either
such event, in the absence of an Opinion of Counsel or the indemnification
referred to in this sentence, an "Adverse REMIC Event") unless the REMIC
Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, has received an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to take such action or, if such party fails
to pay such expense, and the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable,
determines that taking such action is in the best interest of the Trust Fund and
the Certificateholders, at the expense of the Trust Fund, but in no event at the
expense of the REMIC Administrator, the Contract Seller, the Servicer or the
Trustee) to the effect that the contemplated action will not, with respect to
the REMIC created hereunder, endanger such status or, unless the REMIC
Administrator determines in its sole discretion to indemnify the Trust Fund
against the imposition of such a tax, result in the imposition of such a tax.
Wherever in this Agreement a contemplated action may not be taken because the
timing of such action might result in the imposition of a tax on the Trust Fund,
or may only be taken pursuant to an Opinion of Counsel that such action would
not impose a tax on the Trust Fund, such action may nonetheless be taken
provided that the indemnity given in the preceding sentence with respect to any
taxes that might be imposed on the Trust Fund has been given and that all other
preconditions to the taking of such action have been satisfied. The Trustee
shall not take or fail to take any action (whether or not authorized hereunder)
as to which the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, has advised
it in writing that it has received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that an
Adverse REMIC Event could occur with respect to such action. In addition, prior
to taking any action with respect to the REMIC or its assets, or causing the
REMIC to take any action, which is not expressly permitted under the terms of
this Agreement, the Trustee will consult with the REMIC Administrator or the
Servicer, as applicable, or its designee, in writing, with respect to whether
such action could cause an Adverse REMIC Event to occur with respect to the
REMIC, and the Trustee shall not take any such action or cause the REMIC to take
any such action as to which the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as
applicable, has advised it in writing that an Adverse REMIC Event could occur.
The REMIC Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, may consult with counsel
to make such written advice, and the cost of same shall be borne by the party
seeking to take the action not expressly permitted by this Agreement, but in no
event at the expense of the REMIC Administrator or the Servicer. At all times as
may be required by the Code, the Servicer will to the extent within its control
and the scope of its duties more specifically set forth herein, maintain
substantially all of the assets of the REMIC as "qualified mortgages" as defined
in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code and "permitted investments" as defined in
Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(g) In the event that any tax, including interest, penalties, additional
amounts or additions to tax (a "Tax"), is imposed on the Trust Fund, such Tax
shall be charged against amounts otherwise required to be distributed to the
Holders of the Class R Certificates. The Trustee is hereby authorized to retain,
or cause the Paying Agent to retain, from amounts otherwise required to be
distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates sufficient funds to pay
or provide for the payment of, and to actually pay, or cause the Paying Agent to
pay, such Tax as is legally owed by the Trust Fund (but such authorization shall
not prevent the Servicer or the REMIC Administrator from contesting any such Tax
in appropriate proceedings, and
54
withholding payment of such Tax, if permitted by law, pending the outcome of
such proceedings). To the extent that sufficient amounts cannot be so retained
to pay or provide for the payment of any tax imposed on gain realized from any
prohibited transaction (as defined in the REMIC Provisions), the Trustee is
hereby authorized to and shall segregate, into a separate non-interest-bearing
account, the net income from such prohibited transactions and pay, or cause the
Paying Agent to pay, such Tax. In the event any (i) amounts initially retained
from amounts required to be distributed to the Holders of the Class R
Certificates and (ii) income so segregated and applied towards the payment of
such Tax shall not be sufficient to pay such Tax in its entirety, the amount of
the shortfall shall be paid from funds in the Certificate Account
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein. To the extent any
such segregated income or funds from the Certificate Account are paid to the
Internal Revenue Service, the Trustee shall retain, or cause to be retained, an
amount equal to the amount of such income or funds so paid from future amounts
otherwise required to be distributed to the Holders of the Class R Certificates
and shall deposit such retained amounts in the Certificate Account for
distribution to the Holders of the Regular Certificates.
(h) The Trustee, the REMIC Administrator and the Servicer shall, for
federal income tax purposes, maintain books and records with respect to the
REMIC on a calendar year and on an accrual basis or as otherwise may be required
by the REMIC Provisions.
(i) Following the Startup Day, neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall
accept any contributions of assets to the REMIC unless (subject to Section
4.17(f)) the Servicer and the Trustee shall have received an Opinion of Counsel
(at the expense of the party seeking to make such contributions) to the effect
that the inclusion of such assets in the REMIC will not cause the REMIC to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding or
subject the REMIC to any tax under the REMIC Provisions or other applicable
provisions of federal, state and local law or ordinances.
(j) Neither the Servicer nor the Trustee shall (subject to Section 4.17(f))
enter into any arrangement by which the REMIC will receive a fee or other
compensation for services nor permit the REMIC to receive any income from assets
other than "qualified mortgages" as defined in Section 860G(a)(3) of the Code or
"permitted investments" as defined in Section 860G(a)(5) of the Code.
(k) Solely for the purposes of Section 1.860G-1(a)(4)(iii) of the Treasury
Regulations, the "latest possible maturity date" by which the Certificate
Balance of each Class of Certificates representing a regular interest in the
REMIC would be reduced to zero is the sixth Distribution Date following the
latest scheduled maturity of any Contract.
(l) Within 30 days after the Closing Date, the REMIC Administrator shall
prepare and file with the Internal Revenue Service Form 8811, "Information
Return for Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits (REMIC) and Issuers of
Collateralized Debt Obligations" for the REMIC.
(m) Neither the Trustee nor the Servicer shall sell, dispose of or
substitute for any of the Contracts (except in connection with (i) the default,
imminent default or foreclosure of a Contract, including but not limited to, the
acquisition or sale of a Manufactured Home or a Mortgaged Property acquired by
deed in lieu of foreclosure, (ii) the bankruptcy of the REMIC, (iii) the
termination of the REMIC pursuant to Article X of this Agreement or (iv) a
purchase of Contracts pursuant to Article III of this Agreement) nor acquire any
assets for the REMIC, nor sell or dispose of any investments in the Certificate
Accounts for gain nor accept any contributions to the REMIC after the Closing
Date unless it has received an Opinion of Counsel that such sale, disposition,
substitution or acquisition will not (a) affect adversely the status of the
REMIC as a REMIC or (b) unless the REMIC Administrator has determined in its
sole discretion to
55
indemnify the Trust Fund against such tax, cause the REMIC to be subject to a
tax on "prohibited transactions" or "contributions" pursuant to the REMIC
Provisions.
(n) Each Holder of a Class R Certificate, by purchasing such Class R
Certificate, agrees to give the Servicer written notice that it is a
"pass-through interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury
Regulations Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon becoming the Holder of
such Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding such Class R Certificate on
behalf of, a "pass-through interest holder."
(o) In the event that any Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property is
acquired in a repossession (an "REO Property"), the Servicer shall sell any REO
Property within three years of its acquisition by the Trust Fund, unless (i) at
least 60 days before such three-year period would otherwise expire, the Servicer
applies for an extension of such three-year period pursuant to Sections
856(e)(3) and 860G(a)(8)(A) of the Code, in which case the Servicer shall sell
such REO Property within the applicable extension period or (ii) at the request
of the Servicer, the Trustee seeks, and subsequently receives, an Opinion of
Counsel, addressed to the Trustee and the Servicer, to the effect that the
holding by the Trust Fund of such REO Property subsequent to three years after
its acquisition will not result in the imposition of taxes on "prohibited
transactions" of the Trust Fund as defined in Section 860F of the Code or cause
the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates
are outstanding. The Servicer shall manage, conserve, protect and operate each
REO Property solely for the purpose of its prompt disposition and sale in a
manner that does not cause any such REO Property to fail to qualify as
"foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of the Code or
result in the receipt by the REMIC of any "income from non-permitted assets"
within the meaning of Section 860F(a)(2)(B) of the Code or any "net income from
foreclosure property" which is subject to taxation under the REMIC Provisions.
In connection with its efforts to sell such REO Property, the Servicer shall
either itself or through an agent selected by the Servicer protect and conserve
such REO Property in the same manner and to such extent as is customary in the
locality where such REO Property is located and may, incident to its
conservation and protection of the interests of the Certificateholders, rent the
same, or any part thereof, as the Servicer deems to be in the best interest of
the Servicer and the Certificateholders for the period prior to the sale of such
REO Property.
(p) The Servicer shall segregate and hold all funds collected and received
in connection with the operation of any REO Property separate and apart from its
own funds and general assets and shall establish and maintain with respect to
each REO Property an account held in trust for the Trustee for the benefit of
the Certificateholders (each, an "REO Account"), which shall be an Eligible
Account and the funds therein shall be invested in Eligible Investments that
will mature not later than the Business Day preceding the applicable
Determination Date. The Servicer shall be entitled to retain or withdraw any
interest income paid on funds deposited in each REO Account by the depository.
(q) The Servicer shall deposit, or cause to be deposited, on a daily basis
in each REO Account all revenues received with respect to operation of the
related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the proper
operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property. On or before each
Determination Date, the Servicer shall withdraw from each REO Account and
deliver to the Trustee for deposit into the applicable Certificate Account the
income from the REO Property on deposit in the REO Account, net of its
reasonable fees and expenses.
(r) The disposition of REO Property shall be carried out by the Servicer at
such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Servicer shall deem
necessary or advisable, as shall be normal and usual in its general servicing
activities.
56
(s) The proceeds from the disposition of any REO Property, net of any
reimbursement to the Servicer as provided herein, shall be deposited in the REO
Account and shall be deposited in the applicable Certificate Account when the
related Contract becomes a Liquidated Contract.
Section 4.18 Management of REO Property.
(a) If the Trustee acquires any REO Property pursuant to Section 4.17, the
Servicer shall have full power and authority, subject only to the specific
requirements and prohibitions of this Agreement, to do any and all things in
connection therewith as are consistent with the manner in which the Servicer
manages and operates similar property owned by the Servicer or any of its
Affiliates, all on such terms and for such period as the Servicer deems to be in
the best interests of Certificateholders, and, consistent therewith, shall
withdraw from the REO Account, to the extent of amounts on deposit therein with
respect to such REO Property, funds necessary for the proper operation,
management and maintenance of such REO Property, including:
(i) all insurance premiums due and payable in respect to such REO
Property;
(ii) all real estate taxes and assessments in respect to such REO
Property that may result in the imposition of a lien thereon; and
(iii) all costs and expenses necessary to maintain such REO Property.
To the extent that amounts on deposit in the REO Account in respect of any
REO Property are insufficient for the purposes set forth in (i)-(iii) above with
respect to such REO Property, the Servicer shall advance from its own funds such
amount as is necessary for such purposes if, but only if, the Servicer would
make such advances if the Servicer owned such REO Property and if in the
Servicer's judgment, the payment of such amounts will be recoverable from the
operation or sale of such REO Property.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not:
(i) authorize or permit any construction on any REO Property, other
than the completion of a building or other improvement thereon, and then
only if more than ten percent of the construction of such building or other
improvement was completed before default on the related Contract became
imminent, all within the meaning of Section 856(e)(4)(B) of the Code; or
(ii) directly operate, or allow any other Person to directly operate,
any REO Property on any date more than 90 days after its date of
acquisition;
unless, in any such case, the Servicer has requested and received an Opinion of
Counsel to the effect that such action will not cause such REO Property to fail
to qualify as "foreclosure property" within the meaning of Section 860G(a)(8) of
the Code at any time that it is held by the Trust Fund, in which case the
Servicer may take such actions as are specified in such Opinion of Counsel.
(c) The Servicer may contract with any Independent Contractor for the
operation and management of any REO Property, provided that:
(i) the terms and conditions of any such contract may not be
inconsistent herewith;
(ii) any such contract shall require, or shall be administered to
require, that (A) the Independent Contractor pay all costs and expenses
incurred in connection with the operation and management of such REO
Property, including those listed in subsection (a) hereof, (B) hold all
57
related revenues in a segregated account, which shall be an Eligible
Account, and (C) remit all related revenues collected (net of such costs
and expenses and any fees retained by such Independent Contractor) to the
Servicer on a monthly or more frequent basis;
(iii) none of the provisions of this Section 4.18(c) relating to any
such contract or to actions taken through any such Independent Contractor
shall be deemed to relieve the Servicer of any of its duties and
obligations to the Trustee on behalf of Certificateholders with respect to
the operation and management of any such REO Property; and
(iv) the Servicer shall be obligated with respect thereto to the same
extent as if it alone were performing all duties and obligations in
connection with the operation and management of such REO Property.
The Servicer shall be entitled to enter into any agreement with any
Independent Contractor performing services for it related to its duties and
obligations hereunder for indemnification of the Servicer by such Independent
Contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or modify
such indemnification. The Servicer shall be entitled to pay all fees owed to any
such Independent Contractor out of the REO Account pursuant to Section 4.17.
(d) Subject to Section 4.18(b), the Servicer shall itself be entitled to
operate and manage any foreclosure property and, in such event, shall be
entitled to pay itself a monthly management fee in accordance with Section 4.17;
provided that the amount of such management fee shall not exceed the amount
customarily charged for the operation and management of similar property in the
locality of such REO Property by property managers other than the Servicer or
its Affiliates. If Liquidation Proceeds are insufficient to reimburse the
Servicer for any costs associated with the management or operation of REO
Property, the amount of such insufficiency shall constitute, and be reimbursable
to the Servicer as, a Nonrecoverable Advance.
Section 4.19 Reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Servicer shall use reasonable efforts to assist the Contract Seller in
obtaining any information maintained by it in the ordinary course of performing
its duties hereunder that is necessary for the Contract Seller, on behalf of the
Trust Fund, to cause to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission any
periodic reports required to be filed under the provisions of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.
Section 4.20 Annual Statement as to Compliance.
The Servicer will deliver to the Contract Seller, the Trustee, the Insurer
and each Rating Agency on or before April 1 of each year, commencing in 2002, an
Officer's Certificate (i) stating that a review of the activities of the
Servicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this
Agreement has been made under such officer's supervision, and (ii) stating that
to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, the Servicer has
fulfilled all its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if
there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying
each such default known to such officer and the nature and status thereof.
Section 4.21 Annual Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report.
On or before April 1 of each year, commencing in 2002, the Servicer, at its
expense, shall cause a firm of independent public accountants which is a member
of the American Institute of Certified Public
58
Accountants to furnish a statement to the Contract Seller, the Trustee, the
Insurer and each Rating Agency to the effect that such firm has examined certain
documents and records relating to the servicing of the Contracts under this
Agreement and, at the option of the Servicer, manufactured housing installment
sale contracts and installment loan agreements under pooling and servicing
agreements substantially similar to this Agreement with regard to servicing
procedures (such statement to have attached thereto a schedule setting forth the
pooling and servicing agreements covered thereby, including this Agreement) and
that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in compliance
with this Agreement or such agreements, as the case may be, and generally
accepted auditing standards, such servicing has been conducted substantially in
compliance with this Agreement or such pooling and servicing agreements, as the
case may be, except for such exceptions as such firm believes to be immaterial
and such other exceptions or errors in records that may be set forth in such
statement. For purposes of such statement, such firm may assume conclusively
that all pooling and servicing agreements among the Contract Seller, the
Servicer and the Trustee relating to certificates evidencing an interest in
actuarial and/or simple interest manufactured housing contracts are
substantially similar to one another, except for any such pooling and servicing
agreement which by its terms specifically states otherwise.
Section 4.22 Retitling of Land Home Contracts.
(a) If the Contract Seller or the Servicer receives actual notice or
knowledge that GreenPoint Bank, the parent of the Contract Seller, is no longer
assigned a long-term senior debt rating from Xxxxx'x of Baa3 or higher, of BBB-
or higher from S&P, the Servicer or the Contract Seller shall promptly provide
notice to the Trustee that GreenPoint Bank no longer has such rating. If at any
time during the term of this Agreement the Trustee receives written notice from
the Servicer or the Contract Seller that GreenPoint Bank does not have a
long-term senior debt rating from Xxxxx'x of Baa3 or higher, of BBB- or higher
from S&P, or if the Trustee otherwise becomes aware that the Contract Seller is
no longer assigned such rating, the Trustee, at the Contract Seller's expense,
shall file promptly in the appropriate recording offices the assignments to the
Trustee on behalf of the Trust Fund of each Mortgage securing a Land Home
Contract sold by the Contract Seller to the Trust Fund.
(b) If at any time GreenPoint Bank does not own, directly or indirectly, at
least 51% of the membership interests of GreenPoint, GreenPoint shall promptly
provide notice to the Trustee that GreenPoint Bank no longer has such ownership
interest. If at any time during the term of this Agreement the Trustee receives
written notice from GreenPoint that GreenPoint Bank does not own, directly or
indirectly, at least 51% of the membership interests of GreenPoint, or if the
Trustee otherwise becomes aware that GreenPoint Bank no longer has such
ownership interest, the Trustee, at the Contract Seller's expense, shall file
promptly in the appropriate recording offices the assignments to the Trustee on
behalf of the Trust Fund of each Mortgage securing a Land Home Contract.

the related Contract, the Servicer shall deposit, out of its own funds, the

the amount of such Nonrecoverable Advance for the next succeeding Distribution
Date by withdrawing such amount pursuant to Section 5.03(v), but not in excess
of such Outstanding Amount Advanced with respect to the related Group. If a
Contract becomes a Liquidated Contract and at such time there exists an
Outstanding Amount Advanced with respect to the related Group, then the Servicer

the Trustee shall pay such Certificateholder by wire transfer of funds. If on

applicable) and distribute the amount specified in Section 5.02(a)(A)(xi) and

a means that is mutually acceptable to the Trustee and the Class R
Certificateholders.
(c) Each distribution with respect to a Global Certificate shall be paid to
the Depository, which shall credit the amount of such distribution to the
accounts of its Depository Participants in accordance with its normal
procedures. Each Depository Participant shall be responsible for disbursing such
distribution to the Certificate Owners that it represents and to each indirect
participating brokerage firm (a "brokerage firm" or "indirect participating
firm") for which it acts as agent. Each brokerage firm shall be responsible for
disbursing funds to the Certificate Owners that it represents. All such credits
and disbursements with respect to a Global Certificate are to be made by the
Depository and the Depository Participants in accordance with the provisions of
the Certificates. Neither the Trustee, the Certificate Registrar, the Contract
Seller nor the Servicer shall have any responsibility therefor. To the extent
applicable and not contrary to the rules of the Depository, the Trustee shall
comply with the provisions of the forms of the Certificates as set forth in
Exhibit B and Exhibit C hereto.

for insurance premiums) for expenses incurred by it in respect of such
Manufactured Home that are specified in this Agreement as being
reimbursable to it or to a previous Servicer;
(v) to reimburse itself for any Nonrecoverable Advances and for
Monthly Advances in respect of Liquidated Contracts;

signatures were affixed, authorized to sign on behalf of the Trustee shall bind
the Trustee, notwithstanding that such individuals or any of them have ceased to
be so authorized prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates
or did not hold such offices at the date of such authentication and delivery. No
Certificate shall be entitled to any benefit under this Agreement, or be valid
for any purpose, unless there appears on such Certificate a certificate of
authentication substantially in the form set forth as attached hereto executed
by the Trustee by manual signature, and such certificate of authentication upon
any Certificate shall be conclusive evidence, and the only evidence, that such
Certificate has been duly authenticated and delivered hereunder. All

Date, the Trustee shall authenticate the Certificates to be issued at the
written direction of the Contract Seller.
The Servicer shall provide, or cause to be provided, to the Trustee on a

Section 6.02 Certificate Register; Registration of Transfer and Exchange of
Certificates.
(a) The Trustee shall maintain, or cause to be maintained, a Certificate
Register for the Trust Fund in which, subject to the provisions of subsections
(b) and (c) below and to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the
Trustee shall provide for the registration of Certificates and of transfers and
exchanges of Certificates as herein provided. Upon surrender for registration of
transfer of any Certificate, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the
name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Certificates
of the same Class and of like aggregate Percentage Interest.
71
At the option of a Certificateholder, Certificates may be exchanged for
other Certificates of the same Class in authorized denominations and evidencing
the same aggregate Percentage Interest upon surrender of the Certificates to be
exchanged at the office or agency of the Trustee. Whenever any Certificates are
so surrendered for exchange, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate, and

entitled to receive. Every Certificate presented or surrendered for registration
of transfer or exchange shall be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the Trustee duly executed by the holder thereof or his
attorney duly authorized in writing.
No service charge to the Certificateholders shall be made for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Certificates, but payment of a sum
sufficient to cover any tax or governmental charge that may be imposed in
connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates may be required.
All Certificates surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall
be canceled and subsequently destroyed by the Trustee in accordance with the
Trustee's customary procedures.
(b) No transfer of an ERISA Restricted Certificate will be made unless the
Trustee has received either (i) an Opinion of Counsel, at no expense to the
Trustee, the Contract Seller, the Hedge Counterparty, the Insurer or the
Servicer, acceptable to and in form and substance satisfactory to the Trustee,
the Contract Seller, the Insurer and the Servicer with respect to the
permissibility of such transfer under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code and
stating, among other things, that the transferee's acquisition of such ERISA
Restricted Certificate will not constitute or result in a non-exempt prohibited
transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code and will not
subject the Servicer, the Contract Seller or the Trustee to any obligation or
liability in addition to those undertaken in this Agreement or (ii) a
representation letter from the transferee, substantially in the form of
paragraph 5 of Exhibit G (as to the Class R Certificates) or Exhibit J (as to
the Class I Certificates). Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Opinion of Counsel
or representation letter will not be required with respect to the transfer of
any Class I Certificate to the Depository, or for any subsequent transfer of any
interest in a Class I Certificate for so long as such Certificate is a Global
Certificate (each such Class I Certificate, a "Global ERISA Restricted
Certificate"). Any transferee of a Global ERISA Restricted Certificate will be
deemed to have represented by virtue of its purchase or holding of such
Certificate (or interest therein) that either (a) such transferee is not an
employee benefit plan or other plan subject to the prohibited transaction
provisions of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or any Person (including an
investment manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan) who is
using "plan assets" of any such plan to effect such acquisition (each, a "Plan
Investor") or (b) such transferee is a "Qualified Plan Investor" (as defined in
U.S. Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE")
2000-58). If any Class I Certificate (or any interest therein) is acquired or
held in violation of the provisions of clause (ii) of the first sentence of this
Section 6.02(b) or clause (b) of the third sentence of this Section 6.02(b),
then the last preceding transferee that either (i) is not a Plan Investor or
(ii) is a Qualified Plan Investor shall be restored, to the extent permitted by
law, to all rights and obligations as Certificateholder thereof retroactive to
the date of such transfer of such Class I Certificate. Any purported
Certificateholder whose acquisition or holding of any Global ERISA Restricted
Certificate (or interest therein) was effected in violation of the restrictions
in this Section 6.02(b) shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trustee, the
Contract Seller, the Servicer, and the Trust Fund from and against any and all
liabilities, claims, costs or expenses incurred by such parties as a result of
such acquisition or holding. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any
Person for making any payments due on any Certificate to such preceding
transferee that is not a Plan Investor or a Qualified Plan Investor.
(c) (i) Each Person who has or who acquires any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate shall be deemed by the acceptance or acquisition of such
Ownership Interest to have agreed to be bound by the following provisions and to
have irrevocably authorized the Servicer and the Trustee or its designee under
clause (iii)(A) below to deliver payments to a Person other than such Person and
to negotiate the
72
terms of any mandatory sale under clause (iii)(B) below and to execute all
instruments of transfer and to do all other things necessary in connection with
any such sale. The rights of each Person acquiring any Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate are expressly subject to the following provisions:
(A) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate shall be a Permitted Transferee and shall promptly notify the
Trustee of any change or impending change in its status as a Permitted
Transferee.
(B) In connection with any proposed Transfer of any Ownership Interest
in a Class R Certificate, the Trustee shall require delivery to it, and
shall not register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate until its
receipt of, (I) an affidavit in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-1 (a
"Transfer Affidavit") from the proposed Transferee, representing and
warranting, among other things, that it is a Permitted Transferee, that it
is not acquiring its Ownership Interest in the Class R Certificate that is
the subject of the proposed Transfer as a nominee, trustee or agent for any
Person who is not a Permitted Transferee, that for so long as it retains
its Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate, it will endeavor to remain
a Permitted Transferee, and that it has reviewed the provisions of this
Section 6.02(c) and agrees to be bound by them, and (II) a certificate, in
the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2, from the Holder wishing to
transfer the Class R Certificate, representing and warranting, among other
things, that no purpose of the proposed Transfer is to impede the
assessment or collection of tax.
(C) Notwithstanding the delivery of a Transfer Affidavit by a proposed
Transferee under clause (B) above, if a Responsible Officer of the Trustee
who is assigned to this Agreement has actual knowledge that the proposed
Transferee is not a Permitted Transferee, no Transfer of an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate to such proposed Transferee shall be
effected.
(D) Each Person holding or acquiring any Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate shall agree (x) to require a Transfer Affidavit from any
other Person to whom such Person attempts to transfer its Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate and (y) not to transfer its Ownership
Interest unless it provides a certificate to the Trustee in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
(E) Each Person holding or acquiring an Ownership Interest in a Class
R Certificate, by purchasing an Ownership Interest in such Certificate,
agrees to give the Trustee written notice that it is a "pass-through
interest holder" within the meaning of Temporary Treasury Regulations
Section 1.67-3T(a)(2)(i)(A) immediately upon acquiring an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate, if it is, or is holding an Ownership
Interest in a Class R Certificate on behalf of, a "pass-through interest
holder."
(ii) The Trustee will register the Transfer of any Class R Certificate
only if it shall have received the Transfer Affidavit and a certificate of the
Holder requesting such transfer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit G-2.
Transfers of the Class R Certificates to Non-United States Persons and
Disqualified Organizations (as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Code) are
prohibited.
(iii) (A) If any Disqualified Organization shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a Non-United States Person shall become a holder of a
Class R Certificate, then the last preceding United States Person shall be
restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such transfer of such
Class R Certificate. If a transfer of a Class R Certificate is disregarded
pursuant to the provisions of Treasury Regulations Section
73
1.860E-1 or Section 1.860G-3, then the last preceding Permitted Transferee shall
be restored, to the extent permitted by law, to all rights and obligations as
Holder thereof retroactive to the date of registration of such Transfer of such
Class R Certificate. The Trustee shall be under no liability to any Person for
any registration of Transfer of a Class R Certificate that is in fact not
permitted by this Section 6.02(c) or for making any payments due on such
Certificate to the holder thereof or for taking any other action with respect to
such holder under the provisions of this Agreement.
(B) If any purported Transferee shall become a Holder of a Class
R Certificate in violation of the restrictions in this Section 6.02(c) and
to the extent that the retroactive restoration of the rights of the Holder
of such Class R Certificate as described in clause (iii)(A) above shall be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable, then the Servicer shall have the right,
without notice to the holder or any prior holder of such Class R
Certificate, to sell such Class R Certificate to a purchaser selected by
the Servicer on such terms as the Servicer may choose. Such purported
Transferee shall promptly endorse and deliver each Class R Certificate in
accordance with the instructions of the Servicer. Such purchaser may be the
Servicer itself or any Affiliate of the Servicer. The proceeds of such
sale, net of the commissions (which may include commissions payable to the
Servicer or its Affiliates), expenses and taxes due, if any, will be
remitted by the Servicer to such purported Transferee. The terms and
conditions of any sale under this clause (iii)(B) shall be determined in
the sole discretion of the Servicer, and the Servicer shall not be liable
to any Person having an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate as a
result of its exercise of such discretion.
(iv) The Servicer, on behalf of the Trustee, shall use its reasonable
efforts to make available, upon written request from the Trustee, all
information necessary to compute any tax imposed (A) as a result of the Transfer
of an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate to any Person who is a
Disqualified Organization, including the information regarding "excess
inclusions" of such Class R Certificates required to be provided to the Internal
Revenue Service and certain Persons as described in Treasury Regulations
Sections 1.860D-1(b)(5) and 1.860E-2(a)(5), and (B) as a result of any regulated
investment company, real estate investment trust, common trust fund,
partnership, trust, estate or organization described in Section 1381 of the Code
that holds an Ownership Interest in a Class R Certificate having as among its
record holders at any time any Person who is a Disqualified Organization.
Reasonable compensation for providing such information may be required by the
Servicer from such Person.
(v) The provisions of this Section 6.02(c) set forth prior to this
clause (v) may be modified, added to or eliminated pursuant to Section 11.01,
provided that there shall have also been delivered to the Trustee the following:
(A) written notification from each Rating Agency to the effect
that the modification, addition to or elimination of such provisions will
not cause such Rating Agency to downgrade its then-current ratings, if any,
of any Class of the Regular Certificates below the lower of the
then-current rating or the rating assigned to such Certificates as of the
Closing Date by such Rating Agency; and
(B) a certificate of the Servicer stating that the Servicer has
received an Opinion of Counsel, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Servicer, to the effect that such modification, addition to or absence of
such provisions will not cause Trust Fund to cease to qualify as a REMIC
and will not cause (x) the Trust Fund to be subject to an entity-level tax
caused by the Transfer of any Class R Certificate to a Person that is a
Disqualified Organization or (y) a Certificateholder or another Person to
be subject to a REMIC-related tax caused by the Transfer of a Class R
Certificate to a Person that is not a Permitted Transferee.
74
(d) The preparation and delivery of all certificates and opinions referred
to above in this Section 6.02 shall not be an expense of the Trust Fund, the
Trustee, the Contract Seller or the Servicer.
Section 6.03 Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.
If (a) any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Trustee, or the
Trustee receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft
of any Certificate and of the ownership thereof and (b) there is delivered to
the Trustee and the Certificate Administrator, if any, such security or
indemnity as may be required by them to save each of them harmless, then, in the
absence of notice to the Trustee that such Certificate has been acquired by a
protected purchaser, the Trustee shall execute, authenticate and deliver, in
exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen
Certificate, a new Certificate of like Class, tenor and Percentage Interest. In
connection with the issuance of any new Certificate under this Section 6.03, the
Trustee may require the payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other
governmental charge that may be imposed in relation thereto and any other
expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Trustee) connected therewith.
Any replacement Certificate issued pursuant to this Section 6.03 shall
constitute complete and indefeasible evidence of ownership in the Trust Fund, as
if originally issued, whether or not the lost, stolen or destroyed Certificate
shall be found at any time. All Certificates surrendered to the Trustee under
the terms of this Section 6.03 shall be canceled and destroyed by the Trustee in
accordance with its standard procedures without liability on its part.
Section 6.04 Persons Deemed Owners.
The Servicer, the Trustee and any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee may
treat the person in whose name any Certificate is registered as the owner of
such Certificate for the purpose of receiving distributions as provided in this
Agreement and for all other purposes whatsoever, and neither the Servicer, the
Trustee nor any agent of the Servicer or the Trustee shall be affected by any
notice to the contrary.
Section 6.05 Access to List of Certificateholders' Names and Addresses.
If three or more Certificateholders (a) request such information in writing
from the Trustee, (b) state that such Certificateholders desire to communicate
with other Certificateholders with respect to their rights under this Agreement
or under the Certificates, and (c) provide a copy of the communication that such
Certificateholders propose to transmit or if the Contract Seller or Servicer
shall request such information in writing from the Trustee, then the Trustee
shall, within ten Business Days after the receipt of such request, provide the
Contract Seller, the Servicer or such Certificateholders at such recipients'
expense the most recent list of the Certificateholders of the Trust Fund held by
the Trustee, if any. The Contract Seller and every Certificateholder, by
receiving and holding a Certificate, agree that the Trustee shall not be held
accountable by reason of the disclosure of any such information as to the list
of the Certificateholders hereunder, regardless of the source from which such
information was derived.
Section 6.06 Global Certificates.
The Regular Certificates, upon original issuance, shall be issued in the
form of one or more typewritten Certificates representing the Global
Certificates, to be delivered to the Depository by or on behalf of the Contract
Seller. Such Global Certificates shall initially be registered on the
Certificate Register in the name of the Depository or its nominee, and no
Certificate Owner will receive a definitive certificate representing such
Certificate Owner's interest in such Certificates, except as provided in Section
6.08. Unless and until definitive, fully registered Certificates ("Definitive
Certificates") have been issued to the Certificate Owners of such Certificates
pursuant to Section 6.08:
75
(a) the provisions of this Section shall be in full force and effect;
(b) the Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee may treat the
Depository and the Depository Participants for all purposes as the authorized
representative of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates and, in
the case of distributions, may treat the Depository as the authorized
representative of the Depository Participants and the Certificate Owners;
(c) registration of the Global Certificates may not be transferred by the
Trustee except to another Depository;
(d) the rights of the respective Certificate Owners of such Certificates
shall be exercised only through the Depository and the Depository Participants
and shall be limited to those established by law and agreements between the
Owners of such Certificates and the Depository and/or the Depository
Participants. Pursuant to the Depository Agreement, unless and until Definitive
Certificates are issued with respect to the Group I Certificates and Group II
Certificates pursuant to Section 6.08, the Depository will make book-entry
transfers among the Depository Participants and receive and transmit
distributions of principal and interest on the related Certificates to such
Depository Participants;
(e) the Depository may collect its usual and customary fees, charges and
expenses from its Depository Participants;
(f) the Trustee may rely and shall be fully protected in relying upon
information furnished by the Depository with respect to its Depository
Participants; and
(g) to the extent that the provisions of this Section conflict with any
other provisions of this Agreement, the provisions of this Section shall
control.
For purposes of any provision of this Agreement requiring or permitting
actions with the consent of, or at the direction of, Certificateholders
evidencing a specified percentage of the Certificate Balance of a Class of
Certificates, such direction or consent may be given by Certificate Owners
(acting through the Depository and the Depository Participants) owning Global
Certificates evidencing the requisite percentage of the Certificate Balance or
the requisite Percentage Interests.
Section 6.07 Notices to Depository.
Whenever any notice or other communication is required to be given to
Certificateholders of any Class with respect to which Global Certificates have
been issued, unless and until Definitive Certificates shall have been issued to
the related Certificate Owners, the Trustee shall give all such notices and
communications to the Depository.
Section 6.08 Definitive Certificates.
If, after Global Certificates have been issued with respect to the Group I
Certificates and Group II Certificates, (a) the Servicer advises the Trustee
that the Depository is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities under the Depository Agreement with respect to such
Certificates and the Trustee or the Servicer is unable to locate a qualified
successor, (b) the Servicer, at its sole option, advises the Trustee that it
elects to terminate the book-entry system with respect to such Certificates
through the Depository or (c) after the occurrence and continuation of an Event
of Default, Certificate Owners of such Global Certificates having not less than
51% of the Voting Rights evidenced by the related Class advise the Trustee and
the Depository in writing through the Depository Participants that the
continuation of a book-entry system with respect to such Certificates through
the Depository (or its successor) is no longer in the
76
best interests of the Certificate Owners with respect to such Certificates, then
the Trustee shall notify all Certificate Owners of such Class of Certificates,
through the Depository, of the occurrence of any such event and of the
availability of Definitive Certificates for such Class to Certificate Owners
requesting the same. The Servicer shall provide the Trustee with an adequate
inventory of certificates to facilitate the issuance and transfer of Definitive
Certificates. Upon surrender to the Trustee of any such Certificates by the
Depository, accompanied by registration instructions from the Depository for
registration, the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver such Definitive
Certificates. Neither the Contract Seller, the Servicer nor the Trustee shall be
liable for any delay in delivery of such instructions and each may conclusively
rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such instructions. Upon the
issuance of such Definitive Certificates, all references herein to obligations
imposed upon or to be performed by the Depository shall be deemed to be imposed
upon and performed by the Trustee, to the extent applicable with respect to such
Definitive Certificates and the Trustee shall recognize the Holders of such
Definitive Certificates as Certificateholders hereunder.
ARTICLE VII
THE CONTRACT SELLER AND THE SERVICER
Section 7.01 Liabilities to Obligors.
No liability to any Obligor under any of the Contracts arising out of any
act or omission to act of the Servicer in servicing the Contracts prior to the
Closing Date is intended to be assumed by the Contract Seller, the Trustee, the
Certificate Administrator or the Certificateholders under or as a result of this
Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and, to the maximum extent
permitted and valid under mandatory provisions of law, the Contract Seller, the
Trustee, the Certificate Administrator and the Certificateholders expressly
disclaim such assumption.
Section 7.02 Servicer's Indemnities.
The Servicer shall defend and indemnify the Trust Fund, the Trustee, the
Co-Trustee, the Certificate Administrator, the Certificate Registrar, the Paying
Agent, the Contract Seller and the Certificateholders against any and all costs,
expenses, losses, damages, claims or liabilities, including reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation, arising from third party claims
or actions (including penalties or fees imposed by any governmental or
regulatory body or agency) in respect of any action taken by the Servicer with
respect to any Contract or Manufactured Home constituting a failure by the
Servicer to perform its obligations under this Agreement. This indemnity shall
survive any Event of Default (but a Servicer's obligations under this Section
7.02 shall not relate to any actions of any subsequent Servicer after an Event
of Default) and any payment of the amount owing under, or any repurchase by the
Contract Seller of, any such Contract.
Section 7.03 Operation of Indemnities.
Indemnification under this Article VII shall include reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel and expenses of litigation. Any amounts received by the
Trustee from the Servicer pursuant to this Article VII shall be deposited in the
applicable Certificate Account pursuant to Section 4.05. If the Servicer has
made any indemnity payments to the Trustee pursuant to this Article VII and the
Trustee thereafter collects any of such amounts from others, the Trustee will
repay such amounts collected to the Servicer, together with any interest
collected thereon.
77
Section 7.04 Merger or Consolidation of the Contract Seller or the Servicer.
The Contract Seller and the Servicer will each keep in full effect their
existence, rights and franchises as a Delaware limited liability company, and
will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business as a foreign limited
liability company in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall
be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Agreement, the
Certificates or any of the Contracts and to perform its duties under this
Agreement.
Any Person into which the Contract Seller or the Servicer may be merged or
consolidated, or any corporation or association resulting from any merger,
conversion or consolidation to which the Contract Seller or the Servicer shall
be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Contract Seller or
the Servicer, shall be the successor of the Contract Seller or the Servicer
hereunder, 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; provided, however, that the successor or surviving Person to
the Servicer shall satisfy the requirements of Section 7.07 with respect to the
qualifications of a successor to the Servicer. The Contract Seller and the
Servicer shall each promptly notify each Rating Agency and the Insurer of any
such merger to which it is a party.
The conversion of GreenPoint's organizational structure from a Delaware
limited liability company to a corporation, partnership or other entity shall
not require the consent of any party or notice to any party and shall not in any
way affect the rights or obligations of GreenPoint as Contract Seller or
Servicer hereunder, provided, however, that if any such corporation, partnership
or other entity is organized under the laws of a state other than the State of
Delaware, GreenPoint shall have taken all steps, as evidenced by an Opinion of
Counsel addressed to the Trustee, to maintain the perfection of the interests of
the Trustee in the Contracts.
Section 7.05 Limitation on Liability of the Contract Seller, the Servicer and
Others.
None of the Contract Seller, the Servicer or any of their members,
shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be under any
liability to the Trustee or the Certificateholders for any errors in judgment or
any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action, pursuant to
this Agreement; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the
Contract Seller or any such Person against any liability that would otherwise be
imposed by reason of its willful misconduct, or gross negligence; provided,
further that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or any such Person
against any liability that would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful
misconduct or gross negligence. The Contract Seller, the Servicer and any of
their members, shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents may rely
on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any
Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. Neither the Contract Seller nor
the Servicer shall be under any obligation to appear in, prosecute or defend any
legal action which arises under this Agreement (other than in connection with
the enforcement by the Servicer of any Contract in accordance with this
Agreement) and which in its opinion may involve it in any expenses or liability;
provided, however, that the Servicer may in its discretion undertake any such
other legal action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect to this
Agreement and the rights and duties of the parties hereto. In such event, the
legal expenses and costs of such other legal action and any liability resulting
therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities payable from the Certificate
Account, and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor out of the
Certificate Account as provided by Section 5.03.
78
Section 7.06 Assignment by Servicer.
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement without the
consent of the Trustee or any Certificateholder, the Servicer may, with the
consent of the Insurer (provided that if an Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs to be obtained), which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld, assign its rights and delegate its duties and
obligations under this Agreement to another Person; provided that such Person
shall execute and deliver to the Trustee an agreement, in form and substance
reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, which contains an assumption by such
Person of the due and punctual performance and observance of each covenant and
condition to be performed or observed by the Servicer under this Agreement; and
further provided that each Rating Agency's rating of any Class of the
Certificates in effect immediately prior to such assignment and delegation will
not be withdrawn or reduced as a result of such assignment and delegation, as
evidenced by a letter from each Rating Agency. In the case of any such
assignment and delegation, the Servicer shall be released from its obligations
under this Agreement, except that the Servicer shall remain liable for all
liabilities and obligations incurred by it as Servicer hereunder prior to the
satisfaction of the conditions to such assignment and in such delegation.
Section 7.07 Successor to the Servicer.
In connection with the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and
duties under this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.01, the Trustee shall (i)
succeed to and assume all of the Servicer's responsibilities, rights, duties and
obligations under this Agreement (except the duty to pay and indemnify the
Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof), or (ii) with the consent of the
Contract Seller and the Insurer (provided that if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs to be obtained),
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, appoint a successor which
shall have a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and shall have serviced for
at least one year prior to such appointment a portfolio of not less than
$100,000,000 principal balance of manufactured housing installment sale
contracts or installment loans and which shall succeed to all rights and assume
all of the responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Servicer under this
Agreement prior to the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities, duties
and liabilities under this Agreement (except that the duty to pay and indemnify
the Trustee pursuant to Section 9.05 hereof shall be subject to negotiation at
the time of such appointment). If the Trustee has become the successor to the
Servicer in accordance with this Section 7.07, the Trustee may, if it shall be
unwilling to continue to so act, or shall, if it is unable to so act, appoint,
or petition a court of competent jurisdiction to appoint, a successor satisfying
the requirements set out in clause (ii) above. In connection with any
appointment of a successor Servicer, the Trustee may make such arrangements for
the compensation of such successor out of payments on Contracts as it and such
successor shall agree or such court shall determine; provided, however, that the
Monthly Servicing Fee shall not be in excess of a monthly amount equal to 1/12th
of the product of 1% and the Pool Principal Balance for the Distribution Date in
respect of which such compensation is being paid without the consent of all of
the Certificateholders and notice to each Rating Agency. If the Servicer's
duties, responsibilities and liabilities under this Agreement should be
terminated pursuant to Section 7.06 or 8.01, the Servicer shall discharge such
duties and responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires
knowledge of such termination until the effective date thereof with the same
degree of diligence and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this
Agreement, shall cooperate with the Trustee and any successor Servicer in
effecting the termination of the Servicer's responsibilities and rights
hereunder, and shall take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice
the rights or financial condition of its successor. The assignment by a Servicer
pursuant to Section 7.06 or removal of Servicer pursuant to Section 8.01 shall
not become effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this
Section 7.07 and shall in no event relieve the Contract Seller of liability
pursuant to Section 3.05 for breach of the representations and warranties made
pursuant to Section 3.02 or 3.03. The Servicer being terminated pursuant to
Section 8.01 or Section 7.06 shall bear all costs of a transfer of
79
servicing therefrom, including but not limited to those of the Trustee
reasonably allocable to specific employees and overhead, legal fees and
expenses, and costs of amending the Agreement, if necessary.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute, acknowledge and
deliver to the Servicer and to the Trustee an instrument accepting such
appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested with all the
rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the
Servicer, with like effect as if originally named as a party to this Agreement
and the Certificates. Any assignment by or termination of the Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.06 or 8.01 or the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section
10.01 shall not affect any claims that the Trustee may have against the Servicer
arising prior to any such termination or resignation.
The Servicer shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in the
Certificate Accounts and REO Account and all Contract Files, Land Home Contract
Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Servicer
shall account for all funds and shall execute and deliver such instruments and
do such other things as reasonably may be required to more fully and definitely
vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers, duties,
responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Servicer. Without
limitation, the Trustee is authorized and empowered to execute and deliver on
behalf of the Servicer, as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any and all documents
and other instruments (including transfer instruments in respect of certificates
of title and financing statements relating to the Manufactured Homes), and to do
any and all acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of
such notice of termination.
Upon a successor's acceptance of appointment as such, the Trustee shall
notify in writing the Certificateholders and each Rating Agency of such
appointment.
ARTICLE VIII
EVENTS OF DEFAULT
Section 8.01 Events of Default.
In case one or more of the following Events of Default shall occur and be
continuing, that is to say:
(a) any failure by the Servicer to make any deposit or payment, or to remit
to the Trustee any payment, required to be made under the terms of this
Agreement which continues unremedied for a period of five days after the date
upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied,
shall have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Servicer and the
Trustee by the Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional
Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(b) failure on the part of the Servicer duly to observe or perform in any
material respect any other of the covenants or agreements on the part of the
Servicer set forth in this Agreement, including the failure to deliver a Monthly
Report, which continues unremedied for a period of 30 days after the date on
which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be remedied, shall
have been given to the Servicer by the Trustee or to the Servicer, the Trustee
and the Contract Seller by the Insurer or the Holders of Certificates evidencing
Fractional Interests aggregating not less than 25%; or
(c) a decree or order of a court or agency or supervisory authority having
jurisdiction in the premises in an involuntary case under any present or future
federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law or appointing a
conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt,
marshaling of assets and liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the
winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have
80
been entered against the Servicer, and such decree or order shall have remained
in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of 60 days; or
(d) the Servicer shall consent to the appointment of a conservator or
receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshaling of
assets and liabilities or similar proceedings of or relating to the Servicer or
of or relating to all or substantially all of the Servicer's property; or
(e) the Servicer shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts
generally as they become due, file a petition to take advantage of any
applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations or
take any corporate action in furtherance of the foregoing;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as such Event of Default shall
not have been cured or waived, the Trustee may with the consent of the Insurer
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that if an Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing, no consent of the Insurer needs to be
obtained) and, the Trustee shall at the written direction of the Holders of
Certificates (for purposes of such direction, the Insurer shall direct on behalf
of the Class I M-2 and Class II M-2 Certificates so long as no Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing) evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not
less than 51% by notice in writing to the Servicer, terminate all the rights and
obligations of the Servicer under this Agreement, including, without limitation,
all rights with respect to the Contracts and the proceeds thereof, except any
responsibility for its acts or omissions during its tenure as Servicer
hereunder. The Trustee shall send a copy of a notice of any Event of Default to
each Rating Agency, the Insurer, the Hedge Counterparty and the Contract Seller.
On or after the receipt by the Servicer of such written notice, all authority
and power of the Servicer under this Agreement, whether with respect to the
Contracts or otherwise, shall pass to and be vested in the successor appointed
pursuant to Section 7.07. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default which shall
not have been remedied, the Trustee may also pursue whatever rights it may have
at law or in equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific
performance. The Trustee will have no obligation to take any action or
institute, conduct or defend any litigation under this Agreement at the request,
order or direction of any of the Certificateholders or the Insurer unless such
Certificateholders or the Insurer have offered to the Trustee reasonable
security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and liabilities which the
Trustee may incur.
Section 8.02 Waiver of Defaults.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not
less than 25% may waive (for purposes of such waiver, the Insurer shall direct
on behalf of the Class I M-2 and Class II M-2 Certificates so long as no Insurer
Default has occurred and is continuing) any default by the Servicer in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences, except that a
default in the making of any required remittance to the Trustee for distribution
on any of the Certificates may be waived only by the affected
Certificateholders. Upon any such waiver of a past default, such default shall
cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to
have been remedied for every purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall
extend to any subsequent or other default or impair any right consequent thereon
except to the extent expressly so waived.
Section 8.03 Trustee to Act, Appointment of Successor.
On and after the time the Servicer receives a notice of termination
pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.07, the Trustee or its appointed agent shall be
the successor in all respects to the Servicer as provided in Section 7.07
hereof. Notwithstanding the above, or anything in Section 7.07 to the contrary,
the Trustee, if it becomes Servicer pursuant to this Section, shall have no
responsibility or obligation (i) to repurchase or
81
substitute for any Contract, (ii) for any representation or warranty of the
Servicer hereunder, and (iii) for any act or omission of either a predecessor or
successor Servicer other than the Trustee. The Trustee may conduct any activity
required of it as Servicer hereunder through an Affiliate or through an agent.
Neither the Trustee nor any other successor Servicer shall be deemed to be in
default hereunder due to any act or omission of a predecessor Servicer,
including but not limited to failure to timely deliver to the Trustee any
Monthly Report, any funds required to be deposited to the Trust Fund, or any
breach of its duty to cooperate with a transfer of servicing as required by
Section 7.07.
Section 8.04 Notification to Certificateholders.
(a) Upon any such termination pursuant to Section 8.01 or 8.07, the Trustee
shall give prompt written notice thereof to the Contract Seller, the
Certificateholders at their respective addresses appearing in the Certificate
Register and to each Rating Agency.
(b) Within 60 days after the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Trustee shall transmit by mail to all Holders of Certificates notice of each
such Event of Default hereunder known to the Trustee, unless such Event of
Default shall have been cured or waived.
Section 8.05 Effect of Transfer.
(a) After a transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.04, 7.06, 7.07, 8.01 or 8.07, the Trustee or the successor Servicer
may notify Obligors to make payments that are due under the Contracts after the
effective date of the transfer of servicing duties directly to the successor
Servicer.
(b) After the transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer pursuant
to Section 7.04, 7.06, 7.07, 8.01 or 8.07, the replaced Servicer shall have no
further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing or
collection of the Contracts, but in the case of a transfer pursuant to Section
7.07, 8.01 or 8.07 shall remain liable for any liability arising from the
replaced Servicer's actions hereunder and shall remain entitled to any
compensation due the replaced Servicer that had already accrued prior to such
transfer.
(c) A transfer of servicing duties to a successor Servicer shall not affect
the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but not limited to the
indemnities of the Servicer pursuant to Article VII).
Section 8.06 Transfer of the Account.
Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 8.01 or 8.07, if the Certificate
Account shall be maintained with the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer
and an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Servicer, after five
days' written notice from the Trustee, or in any event within ten days after the
occurrence of the Event of Default, shall establish a new account, which shall
be an Eligible Account, conforming with the requirements of this Agreement, at
the trust department of the Trustee or with a depository institution other than
the Servicer or an Affiliate of the Servicer, and shall promptly transfer all
funds in the Certificate Account to such new Certificate Account, which shall
thereafter be deemed the Certificate Account for the purposes hereof.
Section 8.07 Servicer Termination Events.
If one or more of the following Servicer Termination Events shall occur and
be continuing with respect to a Distribution Date:
82
(a) the Cumulative Realized Losses as of such Distribution Date exceed
12.2% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance; or
(b) the Twelve-Month Realized Loss Ratio exceeds 2.5% and the Twelve-Month
Realized Loss Ratio continues to exceed 2.5% for a period of six
months or more; or
(c) the Average 30-Day Delinquency Ratio exceeds 4.5% and the Average
30-Day Delinquency Ratio continues to exceed 4.5% for a period of
three months or more; or
(d) the Average 60-Day Delinquency Ratio exceeds 3.5% and the Average
60-Day Delinquency Ratio continues to exceed 3.5% for a period of
three months or more; or
then, in each and every such case, and so long as no Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Insurer may send written notice to
Certificateholders of its intention to remove the Servicer and appoint a
successor Servicer and the date on which such removal will take place; provided,
however, that such date shall be at least 30 calendar days from the date of such
notice. The Insurer may remove the Servicer and appoint a successor Servicer on
the date specified in its notice to Certificateholders unless the Holders of
Certificates (for purposes of such direction, the Insurer shall direct on behalf
of the Class I M-2 and Class II M-2 Certificates so long as no Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing) evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not
less than 51% notify the Insurer by such date that they prohibit the Insurer
from removing the Servicer. Neither the Trustee nor the Certificateholders shall
have the right to initiate removal of the Servicer if a Servicer Termination
Event has occurred.
ARTICLE IX
CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE
Section 9.01 Duties of Trustee.
The Trustee, prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, undertakes
to perform such duties and only such duties as are set forth specifically in
this Agreement. In case an Event of Default has occurred of which a Responsible
Officer has knowledge (which has not been cured or waived), 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 person would
exercise or use under the circumstances in the conduct of his own affairs,
unless it is acting as Servicer pursuant to Section 8.03 in which case it will
use the same degree of care and skill as the Servicer.
The Trustee, upon receipt of all resolutions, certificates, statements,
opinions, reports, documents, orders or other instruments furnished to the
Trustee which are required specifically to be furnished pursuant to any
provision of this Agreement, shall examine them to determine whether they
conform to the requirements of this Agreement.
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:
(i) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, and after the
curing or waiver of all such Events of Default 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
83
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 rely conclusively, 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;
(ii) The Trustee shall not be liable personally for an error of
judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer or Responsible
Officers of the Trustee, unless it shall be proved that the Trustee was
negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and
(iii) The Trustee shall not be liable personally with respect to any
action taken, suffered or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in
accordance with the direction of the Insurer or Holders of Certificates
evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not less than 25% as 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.
None of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall require the
Trustee to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur personal financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties as Trustee hereunder or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers if there is reasonable ground for
believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk
or liability is not reasonably assured to it.
The Trustee shall have no liability for any loss on any Eligible Investment
except and only to the extent that it is an obligor thereon.
Section 9.02 Certain Matters Affecting the Trustee.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.01:
(a) The Trustee may rely upon and shall be protected in acting or
refraining from acting upon any resolution, Officers' Certificate, 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 written advice of its
counsel or any Opinion of Counsel shall be full and complete authorization and
protection in respect of any action taken or suffered or omitted by it hereunder
in good faith and in accordance with such advice or Opinion of Counsel;
(c) The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the trusts
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 or the Insurer pursuant to the provisions of this
Agreement, unless such Certificateholders or the Insurer shall have offered to
the Trustee reasonable security or indemnity against the costs, expenses and
liabilities which may be incurred therein or thereby;
(d) The Trustee shall not be liable personally for any action taken,
suffered or omitted by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or
within the discretion or rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement;
(e) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder and after the
curing or waiving of all Events of Default which may have occurred, the Trustee
shall not be bound to make any investigation into the computations, facts or
matters stated in any resolution, certificate, statement, instrument, opinion,
report, any Monthly Report, notice, request, consent, order, approval, bond or
other paper or document, unless requested in writing so to do by the Holders of
Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests
84
aggregating not less than 25% (for purposes of such writing, the Insurer shall
direct on behalf of the Class I M-2 and Class II M-2 Certificates so long as no
Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing); 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 expense or liability as a condition to such
proceeding. The reasonable expense of every such examination shall be paid by
the Servicer, if an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, and
otherwise by the Certificateholders requesting the investigation;
(f) 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; provided, however, that any Affiliate of the Contract Seller may only
perform ministerial or custodial duties hereunder as agent for the Trustee; and
(g) The Trustee shall examine any directions, notices or other
communications received from the Servicer, the Contract Seller, the Insurer or
any Certificateholder (or agent thereof) to determine if such directions,
notices or other communications appear on their face to have been made and to
otherwise be in accordance with the requirements of this Agreement. As long as
the Trustee has acted in good faith and has not been negligent in making
determinations required by this Section 9.02(g), the Trustee may conclusively
rely on such directions, notices or other communications and shall incur no
liability hereunder for complying with, or assuming the truth of the statements
contained in, any such direction, notice or other communication.
Section 9.03 Trustee not Liable for Certificates or Contracts.
The recitals contained herein and in the Certificates (other than the
authentication of the Certificates) shall be taken as the statements of the
Contract Seller or the Servicer, as the case may be, and the Trustee assumes no
responsibility for their correctness. The Trustee makes no representations or
warranties as to the validity or sufficiency of this Agreement, of the
Certificates (except that the Certificates shall be duly and validly
authenticated by it) or of any Contract or related document. The Trustee shall
not be accountable for the use or application by the Contract Seller or the
Servicer of any of the Certificates or of the proceeds of such Certificates, or
for the use or application of any funds paid to the Contract Seller or the
Servicer in respect of the Contracts or deposited in or withdrawn from the
Certificate Account by the Servicer.
Section 9.04 Trustee May Own Certificates.
The Trustee in its individual or any other capacity may become the owner or
pledgee of Certificates and may transact business with the other parties hereto
with the same rights it would have if it were not Trustee.
Section 9.05 Servicer to Pay Fees and Expenses of Trustee, Paying Agent and
Certificate Administrator.
The Servicer covenants and agrees to pay, from its own funds, to the
Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator from
time to time, and the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent and the
Certificate Administrator shall each be entitled to, reasonable compensation
(which shall not be limited by any provision of law in regard to the
compensation of a trustee of an express trust) for all services rendered by it
in the execution of the trust hereby created and in the exercise and performance
of any of the powers and duties hereunder of the Trustee and the Co-Trustee, and
the Servicer will pay (out of its own funds) or reimburse the Trustee, the
Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator, to the extent
requested by the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent or the
85
Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, for all reasonable expenses,
disbursements and advances incurred or made by the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the
Paying Agent or the Certificate Administrator, as the case may be, in accordance
with any of the provisions of this Agreement, and the reasonable compensation
and the expenses and disbursements of its counsel and of all persons not
regularly in its employ, and the expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection
with the appointment of an office or agency pursuant to Section 9.11, except any
such expense, disbursement or advance as may arise from its negligence or bad
faith. The Servicer also covenants and agrees to indemnify (out of its own
funds) the Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate
Administrator for, and to hold each of them harmless against, any loss,
liability or expense incurred without negligence or bad faith on the part of the
Trustee, the Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent or the Certificate Administrator, as
the case may be, arising out of or in connection with the acceptance or
administration of this 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 9.05 shall be for the benefit of the Trustee, the
Co-Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Certificate Administrator in their
respective capacities as Trustee, Co-Trustee, Certificate Administrator, Paying
Agent and Certificate Registrar hereunder, and shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.
Section 9.06 Eligibility Requirements for Trustee.
There shall at all times be a Trustee hereunder which shall be qualified to
maintain an Eligible Account and shall be either (a) Bank One, National
Association ("Bank One") or any other Person into which Bank One is merged or
consolidated or to which substantially all of the properties and assets of Bank
One are transferred as an entirety, provided that such other Person has accepted
appointment as Trustee under this Agreement in accordance with this Article IX,
and further provided that such entity is not an Affiliate of the Contract Seller
or the Insurer, is authorized to exercise corporate trust powers under the laws
of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia
and has all necessary trust powers to perform its obligations hereunder, or (b)
a corporation or banking association organized and doing business under the laws
of the United States of America, any State thereof or the District of Columbia,
authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust powers, having a combined
capital and surplus of at least $50,000,000, and subject to supervision or
examination by Federal or State authority, and which is not an Affiliate of the
Contract Seller or the Insurer; further provided that either (i) such entity has
long-term debt rated at least Aa2 by Xxxxx'x, A+ by S&P or the equivalent by any
nationally recognized statistical rating organization, or (ii) each Rating
Agency provides a letter to the effect that such appointment will not affect the
then current ratings of the Certificates. If the corporation or banking
association referred to in clause (b) of the previous sentence publishes reports
of condition at least annually, pursuant to law or to the requirements of said
supervising or examining authority, then for the purposes of this Section 9.06,
the combined capital and surplus of such corporation or banking association
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 maintain
an office in New York. If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 9.06, it shall resign immediately
in the manner and with the effect hereinafter specified in this Article IX.
Section 9.07 Resignation and Removal of the Trustee.
The Trustee at any time may resign and be discharged from the trusts hereby
created by giving written notice thereof to the Contract Seller, the Servicer,
the Insurer and each Rating Agency. Upon receiving such notice of resignation,
the Contract Seller and the Insurer (provided that if an Insurer Default has
occurred and is continuing, no such consent needs to be obtained from the
Insurer) shall promptly appoint a successor trustee by written instrument, in
duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the resigning
Trustee and one copy to the successor trustee. If no successor trustee shall
have
86
been so appointed and have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving
of such notice of resignation, the resigning Trustee may petition any court of
competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor trustee.
If at any time the Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance with
the provisions of Section 9.06 and shall fail to resign after written request
therefor by the Contract Seller, or if at any time the Trustee shall become
incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or a receiver
of the Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public officer
shall take charge or control of the Trustee or of its property or affairs for
the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the Contract
Seller may remove the Trustee and appoint a successor trustee by written
instrument, in duplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the
Trustee so removed and one copy to the successor trustee and the
Certificateholders.
The Holders of Certificates evidencing Fractional Interests aggregating not
less than 50% (provided that if no Insurer Default has occurred and is
continuing, the Insurer shall be deemed to be the Holder of the Class I M-2 and
Class II M-2 Certificates for the purpose of this paragraph) may remove the
Trustee at any time and appoint a successor trustee reasonably satisfactory to
the Insurer (provided that if an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing,
no such consent needs to be obtained from the Insurer) by written instrument or
instruments, in triplicate, signed by such Certificateholders or their
attorneys-in-fact duly authorized, one complete set of which instruments shall
be delivered to the Contract Seller, one complete set to the Trustee so removed
and one complete set to the successor so appointed.
Any resignation or removal of the Trustee and appointment of a successor
trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.07 shall become
effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor trustee as provided in
Section 9.08.
Section 9.08 Successor Trustee.
Any successor trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.07 shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Contract Seller and to its predecessor trustee,
with a copy to the Servicer, an instrument accepting such appointment hereunder,
and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor trustee and the
appointment of such successor 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 the like effect as if originally named as trustee herein. The
predecessor trustee shall execute and deliver such instruments and do such other
things as reasonably may be required to more fully and certainly vest and
confirm in the successor trustee all such rights, powers, duties and
obligations.
No successor trustee shall accept appointment as provided in this Section
9.08 unless at the time of such acceptance such successor trustee shall be
eligible under the provisions of Section 9.06.
Upon acceptance of appointment by a successor trustee as provided in this
Section 9.08, the Servicer shall mail notice of the succession of such trustee
hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in the
Certificate Register, to the Contract Seller and each Rating Agency. If the
Servicer fails to mail such notice within 10 days after acceptance of
appointment by the successor trustee, the successor trustee shall cause such
notice to be mailed at the expense of the Servicer.
87
Section 9.09 Merger or Consolidation of Trustee.
Any corporation or banking association into which the Trustee may be merged
or converted or with which it may be consolidated, or any corporation or banking
association resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the
Trustee shall be a party, or any corporation or banking association succeeding
to the business of the Trustee, shall be the successor of the Trustee hereunder,
provided such corporation or banking association shall be eligible under the
provisions of Section 9.06, 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. Upon succession of a successor trustee as provided in
this Section 9.09, the successor Trustee shall mail notice of the succession of
such trustee hereunder to all Certificateholders at their addresses as shown in
the Certificate Register, to the Servicer, the Insurer, the Contract Seller and
each Rating Agency.
Section 9.10 Appointment of Co-Trustee or Separate Trustee.
Notwithstanding any other provisions hereof, at any time, for the purpose
of (i) meeting any legal requirements of any jurisdiction in which any part of
the Trust Fund or property securing the same may be located at the time, or (ii)
meeting any legal requirements with respect to the holding of the Contracts, the
Contract Seller 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 Fund, and
to vest in such Person or Persons, in such capacity, such title to the Trust
Fund, or any part thereof, and, subject to the other provisions of this Section
9.10, such powers, duties, obligations, rights and trusts as the Contract Seller
and the Trustee may consider necessary or desirable. If the Contract Seller
shall not have joined in such appointment within 15 days after the receipt by it
of a request so to do, or in case an Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, the Trustee alone shall (or with the consent of the Contract Seller)
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 9.06 hereunder, and no notice to Certificateholders of the
appointment of co-trustee(s) or separate trustee(s) shall be required under
Section 9.08 hereof.
In the case of any appointment of a co-trustee or separate trustee pursuant
to this Section 9.10, 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 separate trustee or co-trustee jointly, except
to the extent that, under any law of any jurisdiction in which any particular
act or acts are to be performed or under any regulation applicable to any of the
Contracts, the Trustee shall be incompetent or unqualified to perform such act
or acts, in which event such rights, powers, duties and obligations (including
the holding of title to the Trust Fund or any portion thereof in any such
jurisdiction) shall be exercised and performed by such separate trustee or
co-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 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 IX. 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 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.
88
Any separate trustee or co-trustee may, at any time, appoint 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 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
Trustee, to the extent permitted by law, without the appointment of a new or
successor trustee. Nothing in this Section 9.10 shall relieve the Trustee of its
duties, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement.
Section 9.11 Appointment of Office or Agency.
The Trustee will appoint an office or agency in the City of New York where
Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange. The
Trustee initially designates First Chicago Trust Company of New York, located at
00 Xxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx, for such purpose. The Certificate Register
will be kept in Chicago, Illinois at the offices of the Certificate Registrar
located at the Corporate Trust Office and may be kept in an electronic form
capable of printing out a hard copy of the Certificate Register. The Trustee
will maintain an office at the address stated in Section 11.05 hereof where
notices and demands to or upon the Trustee in respect of the Certificates may be
served. The Trustee will give prompt written notice to Certificateholders of any
change in the location of the Certificate Register or any such office or agency.
Section 9.12 Certificate Administrator.
The Trustee may, from time to time, appoint a Certificate Administrator for
the purpose of performing, as the Trustee's agent, those duties hereunder that
are specifically designated herein as performable by the Certificate
Administrator; provided, however, that the Certificate Administrator shall at
all times satisfy the eligibility requirements of a Trustee set forth in Section
9.06. As of the Closing Date, the Trustee shall be the Certificate Administrator
unless and until the Trustee appoints a successor Certificate Administrator. In
performing its duties hereunder, the Certificate Administrator (if not the
Trustee) shall have the benefit of the provisions of this Agreement to the same
extent that the Trustee would have the benefit of such provisions if the Trustee
were itself performing such duties. The Certificate Administrator (including the
Trustee solely in its capacity as Certificate Administrator) shall not have any
fiduciary responsibility to the Contract Seller, the Servicer or the
Certificateholders except when acting as Paying Agent. Additionally, the
Certificate Administrator shall be entitled to rely upon all directions,
calculations and other information received by the Contract Seller, the Trustee
or the Servicer without any duty to independently verify such directions,
calculations or other information.
Section 9.13 Appointment of Paying Agent.
The Trustee may appoint a Paying Agent for the purpose of making
distributions to Certificateholders pursuant to this Agreement. Any Paying Agent
or its parent company so appointed either shall be a bank or trust company and
shall have a rating acceptable to each Rating Agency. In the event of any such
appointment, on or prior to each Distribution Date, the Trustee shall deposit or
cause to be deposited with the Paying Agent, from amounts in the applicable
Certificate Account, a sum sufficient to make the payments to Certificateholders
in the amounts and in the manner provided for in this Agreement, such sum to be
held in trust for the benefit of the Certificateholders. The Trustee is hereby
initially appointed as Paying Agent.
In performing its duties hereunder, the Paying Agent shall have the benefit
of the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent that the Trustee would
have the benefit of such provisions if the Trustee were itself performing such
duties. Additionally, the Paying Agent shall be entitled to rely upon all
89
information received from the Servicer without any duty to independently verify
or recalculate any such information.
The Trustee shall cause the Paying Agent to execute and deliver to the
Trustee an instrument in which such Paying Agent shall agree with the Trustee
that such Paying Agent is at all times acting as agent for the Trustee and such
Paying Agent will hold all sums held by it for the payment to Certificateholders
entitled thereto until such sums shall be paid to such Certificateholders.
Section 9.14 Determination of LIBOR.
On each LIBOR Determination Date (or if such date is not a Business Day, on
the next succeeding Business Day), the Trustee shall determine LIBOR for the
following Interest Accrual Period in effect on such LIBOR Determination Date and
shall inform the Servicer of such rate.
Section 9.15 The Co-Trustee for the Certificate Insurance Policy.
(a) The Co-Trustee hereunder shall, at all times, be a corporation or
association organized and doing business under the laws of a state or the United
States of America, authorized under such laws to exercise corporate trust
powers. In case at any time the Co-Trustee shall cease to be eligible in
accordance with the provisions of this Section, the Co-Trustee shall resign
immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Section 9.15(b)
hereof. The corporation or national banking association serving as Co-Trustee
may have normal banking and trust relationships with the Trustee, the Insurer,
the Contract Seller and the Servicer and their respective affiliates.
(b) The Co-Trustee may at any time resign and be discharged from the trusts
hereby created by (1) giving written notice of resignation to the Trustee, the
Insurer, the Contract Seller and the Servicer, not less than 60 days before the
date specified in such notice when, subject to Section 9.15(c), such resignation
is to take effect, and (2) acceptance of appointment by a successor co-trustee
in accordance with Section 9.15(c) and meeting the qualifications set forth in
Section 9.15(a). If no successor co-trustee shall have been so appointed and
have accepted appointment within 30 days after the giving of such notice or
resignation, the resigning Co-Trustee may petition any court of competent
jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor co-trustee.
If at any time (i) the Co-Trustee shall cease to be eligible in accordance
with the provisions of Section 9.15(a) hereof and shall fail to resign after
written request thereto by the Contract Seller, or (ii) the Co-Trustee shall
become incapable of acting, or shall be adjudged as bankrupt or insolvent, or a
receiver of the Co-Trustee or of its property shall be appointed, or any public
officer shall take charge or control of the Co-Trustee or of its property or
affairs for the purpose of rehabilitation, conservation or liquidation, then the
Trustee, the Insurer, the Contract Seller or the Servicer may remove the
Co-Trustee and appoint a successor co-trustee by written instrument, in
triplicate, one copy of which instrument shall be delivered to the Co-Trustee,
one copy of which shall be delivered to the Servicer and one copy of which shall
be delivered to the successor co-trustee.
Any resignation or removal of the Co-Trustee and appointment of a successor
co-trustee pursuant to any of the provisions of this Section 9.15(b) shall
become effective upon acceptance of appointment by the successor co-trustee as
provided in Section 9.15(c) hereof.
(c) Any successor co-trustee appointed as provided in Section 9.15(b)
hereof shall (i) be acceptable to the Insurer, (ii) take all actions required by
this Agreement by and through a Pennsylvania office and (iii) execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Trustee, the Insurer, the Contract Seller, the
Servicer
90
and to its predecessor co-trustee an instrument accepting such appointment
hereunder; and thereupon the resignation or removal of the predecessor
co-trustee shall become effective and such successor co-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 the like
effect as if originally named as co-trustee herein.

Insurer; provided, further, that the Servicer may only exercise this option with
the consent of the Hedge Counterparty; provided, further, that the purchase

expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor of the descendants of
Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxx, the late ambassador of the United States to the Court of St.
Xxxxx, living on the date hereof; and provided further that if the Trust Fund is
dissolved prior to the termination of the Certificate Insurance Policy, the
Co-Trustee shall retain possession of Certificate Insurance Policy as collateral
agent for the benefit of the Class I M-2 and Class II M-2 Certificateholders,
and if any amount
91
previously distributed in accordance with Section 5.02(a) is thereafter required
to be paid under the Certificate Insurance Policy, the Co-Trustee as collateral
agent shall make a claim under the Certificate Insurance Policy for such amount
in accordance with Section 5.08 and distribute such amount as required under the
Certificate Insurance Policy.
(b) Termination Auction. The Servicer shall provide written notice to the
Trustee of the occurrence of the Distribution Date as of which the Pool
Scheduled Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal
Balance within three Business Days following such Distribution Date. If the
Servicer does not exercise its option to purchase the Contracts pursuant to
Section 10.01(a), the Trustee shall in accordance with the procedures and
schedule set forth in Exhibit K hereto (the "Termination Auction Procedures"),
make a commercially reasonable effort to sell at fair market value in a
commercially reasonable manner and upon commercially reasonable terms but
subject to the earlier purchase by the Servicer of the Outstanding Contracts as
provided in Section 10.01(a) above, by conducting an auction (the "Termination
Auction") of the Contracts remaining in the Trust Fund in order to effect a
termination of the Trust Fund on a date selected by the Trustee (the "Auction
Termination Date"), but in any case within ninety days following the
Distribution Date as of which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than
10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance. The Contract Seller (if
GreenPoint is not the Servicer) may, but shall not be required to, bid at the
Termination Auction. The Trustee shall be entitled to retain counsel of its
choice to represent it in the Termination Auction, and the fees and expenses of
such counsel shall be paid by the Servicer. The Trustee shall sell and transfer
the Contracts to the highest bidder therefor at the Termination Auction provided
that:
(1) the Termination Auction has been conducted in accordance with the
Termination Auction Procedures;
(2) the Trustee has received good faith bids for the Contracts from at
least two prospective purchasers that are considered by the Trustee, in its
sole discretion, to be competitive participants in the market for
manufactured housing installment sale contracts; provided, that at least
one of such prospective purchasers shall not be an Affiliate of the
Contract Seller;
(3) a financial advisor selected by the Trustee, the fees of whom
shall be an expense of the Servicer, as advisor to the Trustee (in such
capacity, the "Advisor"), shall have advised the Trustee in writing that at
least two of such bidders are participants in the market for manufactured
housing retail installment sale contracts and are willing and able to
purchase the Contracts (the Trustee may in its discretion select itself or
an affiliate thereof as Advisor);
(4) the highest bid in respect of the Contracts is not less than the
aggregate fair market value of the Contracts (as determined by the Trustee
in its sole discretion);
(5) any bid submitted by the Contract Seller or any Affiliate of the
Contract Seller shall be independently verified and represented in writing
by a qualified independent third party evaluator (which may include the
Advisor or an investment banking firm) selected by the Trustee and may only
be considered if such evaluator determines that the bid reasonably
represents the fair market value of the Contracts;
(6) the highest bid would result in proceeds from the sale of the
Contracts which will be at least equal to the Minimum Termination Amount
plus any unreimbursed Enhancement Payments plus any other amounts due and
owing to the Insurer hereunder or pursuant to the Insurance Agreement plus
an amount sufficient to pay any termination fees owed to the Hedge
Counterparty pursuant to the Hedge Agreement;
92
(7) such sale and consequent termination of the Trust Fund must
constitute a "qualified liquidation" of the Trust Fund under Section 860F
of the Code, including the requirement that the proceeds of such qualified
liquidation are credited or distributed to the holders of regular residual
interests within 90 days from the date upon which the Trust Fund adopts a
plan of complete liquidation (the Trustee may, in its discretion, require
that the purchaser of such Contracts provide an Opinion of Counsel to that
effect); and
(8) the terms of the Termination Auction must be made available to all
bidders and must stipulate that the Servicer be retained to service the
Contracts on terms substantially similar to those in this Agreement.
Provided that all of the conditions set forth in clauses (1) through (8)
have been met, the Trustee shall sell and transfer the Contracts, without
representation, warranty or recourse of any kind whatsoever, to such highest
bidder in accordance with and upon completion of the Termination Auction
Procedures. The Trustee shall deposit the purchase price for the Contracts in
the applicable Certificate Account at least one Business Day prior to the fourth
Distribution Date following the Optional Termination Date. The provisions of
subsections (c) and (d) of this Section 10.01 also shall apply with respect to
any Termination Auction. In the event that any of such conditions are not met or
such highest bidder fails or refuses to comply with any of the Termination
Auction Procedures, the Trustee shall decline to consummate such sale and
transfer. In such case the Termination Auction shall be concluded and the
Trustee shall be under no further duty to solicit bids for or otherwise to
attempt to sell the Contracts.
(c) (i) Notice of any termination, specifying the Distribution Date upon
which all Certificateholders may surrender their Certificates to the
Trustee for payment and cancellation, shall be given promptly by the
Servicer by letter to the Certificateholders, the Insurer, the Hedge
Counterparty, the Trustee, the Contract Seller and each Rating Agency
mailed no later than the 20th day of the month next preceding the month of
such final distribution, specifying (i) the Distribution Date upon which
final payment on the Certificates will be made upon presentation and
surrender of Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein
designated, (ii) the amount of any such final payment, and (iii) that the
Record Date otherwise applicable to such Distribution Date is not
applicable, payments being made only upon presentation and surrender of the
Certificates at the office or agency of the Trustee therein specified.
After giving such notice, the Trustee shall not register the transfer or
exchange of any Certificates. If such notice is given in connection with
the Servicer's election to purchase, the Servicer shall deposit in the
applicable Certificate Account on the Business Day prior to the applicable
Distribution Date the amount described in Section 10.01(a)(ii). The amount
so deposited shall not be invested.
(ii) Upon presentation and surrender of the Certificates, the Trustee
shall cause to be distributed, from funds in the applicable Certificate
Account, to Certificateholders, in proportion to their respective
Percentage Interests, an amount equal to (a) as to the Class I A
Certificates, the Class I A Certificate Balance together with the Class I A
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class I A
Pass-Through Rate on the Class I A Certificate Balance, (b) as to the Class
I M-1 Certificates, the Class I M-1 Certificate Balance together with the
Class I M-1 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class
I M-1 Pass-Through Rate on the Class I M-1 Certificate Balance, (c) as to
the Class I M-2 Certificates, the Class I M-2 Certificate Balance together

Balance, (e) as to the Class II M-1 Certificates, the Class II M-1
Certificate Balance together with the Class II M-1
93
Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at the Class II M-1
Pass-Through Rate on the Class II M-1 Certificate Balance, (f) as to the
Class II M-2 Certificates, the Class II M-2 Certificate Balance together
with the Class II M-2 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and one month's interest at
the Class II M-2 Pass-Through Rate on the Class II M-2 Certificate Balance,
(g) any termination payments to the Hedge Counterparty and (i) any
unreimbursed Enhancement Payments and other amounts due to the Insurer
pursuant to the Insurance Agreement to the Co-Trustee for distribution to
the Insurer.
(iii) Upon such termination, any amounts remaining in the Certificate
Accounts (other than amounts retained to meet claims) shall be paid to the
Class R Certificateholders. Following such final deposit, the Servicer
shall prepare and the Trustee shall execute all assignments, endorsements
and other instruments necessary to effectuate such transfer. The
distribution on the final Distribution Date shall be in lieu of the
distribution otherwise required to be made on such Distribution Date in
respect of the Certificates and the Class R Certificate.
(d) If any Certificateholder does not surrender its Certificate for
cancellation by the final Distribution Date specified in the written notice
required in Section 10.01(c)(i), any amounts retained in the applicable
Certificate Account that are owed to such Certificateholder shall be withdrawn
from the applicable Certificate Account and held in an escrow account with the
Trustee pending distribution pursuant to this Section 10.01(d). Any amounts so
held shall not be invested. The Trustee shall give a second written notice to
the remaining Certificateholders to surrender their Certificates for
cancellation and receive the final distribution with respect thereto. If within
two years after the second notice all the Certificates shall not have been
surrendered for cancellation, the Trustee shall so notify the Contract Seller
and the Contract Seller may take appropriate steps, or may appoint an agent to
take appropriate and reasonable steps, to contact the remaining
Certificateholders concerning surrender of their Certificates, and the cost
thereof shall be paid out of, and only to the extent of, the funds and other
assets which remain in trust hereunder.
Upon any termination pursuant to the exercise of the purchase option
contained in Section 10.01(a)(ii), the consummation of a sale pursuant to a
Termination Auction or otherwise, the Trust Fund shall be terminated in
accordance with the following additional requirements, unless the Trustee has
received an Opinion of Counsel to the effect that the failure of the Trust Fund
to comply with the requirements of this Section 10.01 will not (i) result in the
imposition of taxes on "prohibited transactions" of the Trust Fund as described
in Section 860F of the Code, (ii) cause the Trust Fund to fail to qualify as a
REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding, or (iii) result in the
imposition of taxes on contributions of additional assets to the Trust Fund
under Section 860G(d) of the Code:
(i) Within 90 days prior to the final Distribution Date set forth in
the notice given by the Servicer or the Trustee under this Section 10.01,
the Holders of the Class R Certificates shall adopt a plan of complete
liquidation of the Trust Fund;
(ii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Servicer as
agent of the Trustee shall sell all of the assets of the Trust Fund to the
purchaser thereof (which may be the Servicer) for cash (other than assets
that will be converted to cash prior to the final Distribution Date); and
(iii) At or after the time of adoption of such a plan of complete
liquidation and at or prior to the final Distribution Date, the Trustee
shall credit or distribute all proceeds of the liquidation (plus the cash),
less assets retained to meet claims, to the Certificateholders.
94
By its acceptance of a Class R Certificate, each Holder thereof hereby agrees to
adopt such a plan of complete liquidation upon the written request of the
Servicer and to take such other action in connection therewith as may be
reasonably requested by the Contract Seller.
ARTICLE XI
MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS
Section 11.01 Amendment.
This Agreement may be amended from time to time by the Contract Seller, the
Servicer and the Trustee, with the consent of the Insurer, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld (provided that if an Insurer Default has occurred
and is continuing, no such consent needs to be obtained from the Insurer) and
with the consent of the Hedge Counterparty (provided that if the Hedge
Counterparty is in default under the Hedge Agreement, no such consent needs to
be obtained) without the consent of any of the Certificateholders, (i) to cure
any ambiguity, (ii) to correct or supplement any provisions herein, (iii) to add
to the duties or obligations of the Servicer, (iv) to obtain a rating from a
nationally recognized rating agency or to maintain or improve the ratings of any
Class of Certificates by each Rating Agency (it being understood that after
obtaining ratings for the Certificates from Moody's and S&P, none of the
Trustee, the Contract Seller or the Servicer is obligated to obtain, maintain or
improve any rating assigned to the Certificates) or (v) to make such other
provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under this Agreement, as
shall not be inconsistent with any other provisions herein; provided that such
action shall not, as evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel, adversely affect in any
material respect the interests of any Certificateholder. Notwithstanding the
foregoing the Trustee, the Contract Seller and the Servicer, with the consent of
the Insurer, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that if
an Insurer Default has occurred and is continuing, no such consent needs to be
obtained from the Insurer) and the Hedge Counterparty (provided that if the
Hedge Counterparty is in default under the Hedge Agreement, no such consent
needs to be obtained), without the consent of the Certificateholders, may at any
time and from time to time amend this Agreement to modify, eliminate or add to
any of its provisions to such extent as shall be necessary or appropriate to
maintain the qualification of the Trust Fund as a REMIC under the Code or to
avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of any tax on the Trust Fund
pursuant to the Code that would be a claim against the Trust Fund at any time
prior to the final redemption of the Certificates, provided that the Trustee has
been provided an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the
party requesting such opinion but in any case shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, to the effect that such action is necessary or appropriate to maintain
such qualification or to avoid or minimize the risk of the imposition of such a
tax.
This Agreement may also be amended from time to time by the Contract
Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the Insurer, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (provided that if an Insurer Default
has occurred and is continuing, no such consent needs to be obtained from the
Insurer) and the Hedge Counterparty (provided that if the Hedge Counterparty is
in default under the Hedge Agreement, no such consent needs to be obtained), and
with the consent of the Holders of a Majority In Interest of each Class of
Regular Certificates affected thereby for the purpose of adding any provisions
to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the provisions of this
Agreement or of modifying in any manner the rights of the Holders of
Certificates; provided, however, that no such amendment shall (i) reduce in any
manner the amount of, or delay the timing of, payments required to be
distributed on any Certificate without the consent of the Holder of such
Certificate, (ii) adversely affect in any material respect the interests of the
Holders of any Class of Certificates in a manner other than as described in (i),
without the consent of the Holders of Certificates of such Class evidencing, as
to such Class, Percentage Interests aggregating 66% or (iii) reduce the
aforesaid percentages of Certificates the Holders of which are required to
95
consent to any such amendment, without the consent of the Holders of all such
Certificates then outstanding.
Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Agreement, the Trustee shall
not consent to any amendment to this Agreement unless it shall have first
received an Opinion of Counsel, which opinion shall be an expense of the party
requesting such amendment but in any case shall not be an expense of the
Trustee, to the effect that such amendment will not cause the imposition of any
tax on the Trust Fund or the Certificateholders or cause the Trust Fund to fail
to qualify as a REMIC at any time that any Certificates are outstanding.
Promptly after the execution of any amendment to this Agreement requiring
the consent of Certificateholders, the Trustee shall furnish written
notification of the substance of such amendment to each Certificateholder, the
Insurer, the Hedge Counterparty and each Rating Agency.
It shall not be necessary for the consent of Certificateholders under this
Section 11.01 to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment, but it
shall be sufficient if such consent shall approve the substance thereof. The
manner of obtaining such consents and of evidencing the authorization of the
execution thereof by Certificateholders shall be subject to such reasonable
regulations as the Trustee may prescribe.
Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trustee to enter into an
amendment without receiving an Opinion of Counsel, satisfactory to the Trustee
that (i) such amendment is permitted and is not prohibited by this Agreement and
that all requirements for amending this Agreement have been complied with; and
(ii) either (A) the amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect
the interests of any Certificateholder or (B) the conclusion set forth in the
immediately preceding clause (A) is not required to be reached pursuant to this
Section 11.01.

formed and sold by
GreenPoint Credit, LLC, (the "Contract Seller")
which manufactured housing contracts were originated or acquired by the Contract
Seller and are initially serviced by GreenPoint Credit, LLC, in its capacity as
the Servicer (the "Servicer").
Principal in respect of this Certificate is distributable monthly as set

Interest evidenced by this Certificate (obtained by dividing the denomination of
this Certificate by the aggregate of the denominations of all Class I A
Certificates) in certain monthly distributions with respect to a Trust Fund
consisting of the Contracts deposited by the Contract Seller. The Trust Fund was
created pursuant to a Pooling and Servicing Agreement, dated as of March 1, 2001
(the "Agreement"), among the Contract Seller, the Servicer and Bank One,
National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee"). To the extent not defined
herein, the capitalized terms used herein have the meanings assigned in the
Agreement. This Certificate is issued under and is subject to the terms,
provisions and conditions of the Agreement, to which Agreement the Holder of
this Certificate by virtue of the acceptance hereof assents and by which such
Holder is bound.
Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, a distribution will be made on the
20th day of each month or, if such 20th day is not a Business Day, the Business
Day immediately following (the "Distribution Date"), commencing on the first

Distributions to the Holder of this Class I A Certificate shall be applied first
to interest and then to principal.

immediately available funds to the account of the Holder hereof at a bank or
other entity having appropriate facilities therefor, if such Certificateholder
shall have so notified the Trustee in writing at least five Business Days prior
to the related Record Date and such Certificateholder shall hold Class I A
Certificates evidencing a Percentage Interest aggregating 10% or more or, if
not, by check mailed by first class mail to the address of such

on each Certificate will be made in like manner, but only upon presentment and
Exhibit B-1-3
surrender of such Certificate at the Corporate Trust Office or such other
location specified in the notice to Certificateholders of such final
distribution.
No transfer of this Class I A Certificate will be made unless the Trustee
has received either (i) an Opinion of Counsel acceptable to and in form and
substance satisfactory to the Trustee, the Contract Seller and the Servicer with
respect to the permissibility of such transfer under the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), and Section 4975 of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and stating, among other things, that the
transferee's acquisition of the Class I A Certificate will not constitute or
result in a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or
Section 4975 of the Code and will not subject the Contract Seller, the Servicer
or the Trustee to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in
the Agreement or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the
Agreement, stating either (a) that the transferee is not an employee benefit or
other plan subject to the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA or Section
4975 of the Code (a "Plan"), or any other person (including an investment
manager, a named fiduciary or a trustee of any Plan) acting, directly or
indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with "plan assets" of any
Plan, or (b) that the transferee is a "Qualified Plan Investor" (within the
meaning of Department of Labor Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption ("PTCE")

FORM OF REVERSE OF CERTIFICATES
GREENPOINT CREDIT MANUFACTURED HOUSING CONTRACT TRUST
PASS-THROUGH CERTIFICATES
SERIES 2001-1
This Certificate is one of a duly authorized issue of Certificates
designated as GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Pass-Through
Certificates, Series 2001-1 issued in seven Classes (Class I A, Class I M-1,
Class I M-2, Class II A, Class II M-1, Class II M-2 and Class R, herein
collectively called the "Certificates"), and representing a beneficial ownership
interest, as described in the Agreement, in (i) the related Contracts, (ii) the
distributions thereon on or after the Cut-Off Date (to the extent described
herein), and (iii) the related Certificate Account and such assets as are
deposited therein from time to time and any investments thereof, together, in
each case, with any and all income, proceeds and payments with respect thereto.
The Certificateholder, by its acceptance of this Certificate, agrees that
it will look solely to the funds on deposit in the related Certificate Account
for payment hereunder and that the Trustee is not liable to the
Certificateholders for any amount payable under this Certificate or the
Agreement or, except as expressly provided in the Agreement, subject to any
liability under the Agreement.
This Certificate does not purport to summarize the Agreement and reference
is made to the Agreement for the interests, rights and limitations of rights,
benefits, obligations and duties evidenced thereby, and the rights, duties and
immunities of the Trustee.
The Agreement permits, with certain exceptions therein provided, the
amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the
Trustee and the rights of the Certificateholders under the Agreement at any time
by the Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee with the consent of the
Holders of a Majority In Interest of each Class of Regular Certificates affected
by such amendment. Any such consent by the Holder of this Certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on such Holder and upon 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. The Agreement also permits the amendment thereof, in
certain limited circumstances, without the consent of the Holders of any of the
Certificates.
As provided in the Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set
forth, the transfer of this Certificate is registrable in the Certificate
Register of the Trustee upon surrender of this Certificate for registration of
transfer at the Corporate Trust Office or the office or agency maintained by the
Trustee in New York, New York, accompanied by a written instrument of transfer
in form satisfactory to the 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 the same Class in authorized
denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage Interest in the Trust
Fund will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees.
The Certificates are issuable only as registered Certificates without
coupons in denominations specified in the Agreement. As provided in the
Agreement and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, Certificates are
exchangeable for new Certificates of the same Class in
Exhibit C-1
authorized denominations and evidencing the same aggregate Percentage 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 Trustee may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any
tax or other governmental charge payable in connection therewith.
The Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee and any agent of the
Contract Seller, the Servicer or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name
this Certificate is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, and neither
of the Contract Seller, the Servicer, the Trustee, nor any such agent shall be
affected by any notice to the contrary.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Servicer will have the option to repurchase, upon giving notice mailed no later
than the 20th day of the month next preceding the month of the exercise of such
option, all Outstanding Contracts at a price equal to the greater of (a) the sum
of (x) 100% of the Scheduled Principal Balance of each Contract (other than any
Contract as to which the related Manufactured Home has been acquired and not yet
disposed of and whose fair market value is included pursuant to clause (y)
below) as of the final Distribution Date, and (y) the fair market value of such
acquired property (as determined by the Servicer as of the close of business on
the third Business Day next preceding the date upon which notice of any such
termination is furnished to Certificateholders pursuant to Section 10.01(c)(i)
of the Agreement), and (b) the aggregate fair market value (as determined by the
Servicer as of the close of business on such third Business Day) of all the
assets in the Trust Fund, plus, in the case of both clause (a) and clause (b),
an amount sufficient to pay any Class I A Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class I M-1
Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class I M-2 Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class II A
Unpaid Interest Shortfall, Class II M-1 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and Class II
M-2 Unpaid Interest Shortfall and the remittance of all funds due hereunder;
provided, however, that if any Enhancement Payment has been made and not yet
reimbursed, the Servicer may only exercise this option with the consent of the
Insurer; provided, further, that the Servicer may only exercise this option with
the consent of the Hedge Counterparty, provided, further, that the purchase
price of such Contracts shall in no event be less than the Minimum Termination
Amount as of the Distribution Date on which the Servicer purchases such
Contracts.
On any Distribution Date on which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is
less than or equal to 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance, the
Servicer may request that the Trustee conduct an auction (a "Termination
Auction") by soliciting bids for the purchase of all Contracts remaining in the
Trust Fund, and in any event, if the Servicer has not exercised the option
described in the preceding paragraph within ninety days following the
Distribution Date as of which the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than
10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool Principal Balance, the Trustee shall conduct such
termination auction. In the event that satisfactory bids are received as
described in the Agreement, the net sale proceeds will be distributed to
Certificateholders, in the same order of priority as collections received in
respect of the Contracts. A satisfactory bid is one in which the purchase price
of the Contracts then outstanding is at least equal to the Minimum Termination
Amount (as hereinafter defined) plus any unreimbursed Enhancement Payment, plus
any other amounts due and owing to the Insurer pursuant to the Agreement or
pursuant to the Insurance Agreement, plus any unreimbursed Draw Amounts. Such a
bid must be made in accordance with certain auction procedures set forth in the
Agreement, which include a requirement
Exhibit C-2
that the Trustee receive good faith bids for such Contracts from at least two
prospective purchasers (at least one of whom is not the Contract Seller, the
Servicer or an affiliate thereof) that are considered by the Trustee, in its
sole discretion, to be (i) competitive participants in the market for
manufactured housing installment sale contracts or installment loan agreements
and (ii) willing and able purchasers of such Contracts. As of any time after the
Pool Scheduled Principal Balance is less than 10% of the Cut-Off Date Pool
Principal Balance, the "Minimum Termination Amount" is an amount equal to the
respective Certificate Balances of all Classes of Certificates that remain
outstanding as of such time, together with any shortfall in interest due on such
Certificates in respect of prior Distribution Dates and one month's interest at
the applicable Pass-Through Rates on such Certificate Balances. A sale and
consequent termination of the Trust Fund pursuant to a Termination Auction must
constitute a "qualified liquidation" of the Trust Fund under Section 860F of the
Code, including the requirement that the qualified liquidation takes place over
a period not to exceed 90 days. If satisfactory bids are not received, the
Trustee shall decline to sell the Contracts and shall not be under any
obligation to solicit any further bids or otherwise negotiate any further sale
of the Contracts.
Any purchase pursuant to a Termination Auction or by the Servicer will be
made at the price specified in the Agreement. In the event that no such early
termination occurs, the obligations and responsibilities created by the
Agreement will terminate upon the later of the final payment or other
liquidation of the last Contract remaining in the Trust Fund and the disposition
of all REO Property in respect thereof and the distribution to
Certificateholders of all amounts required to be distributed pursuant to the
Agreement. In no event, however, will the trust created by the Agreement
continue beyond the expiration of 21 years from the death of the last survivor
of the descendants living at the date of the Agreement of the certain person
named in the Agreement; provided that if the Trust Fund is dissolved prior to
the termination of the Certificate Insurance Policy and the Hedge Agreement, as
applicable, as collateral agent for the benefit of the Certificateholders, and
if any amount previously distributed in accordance with Section 5.02(a) is
thereafter required to be paid under the Certificate Insurance Policy or the
Hedge Agreement, the Trustee as collateral agent shall make a claim under the
Certificate Insurance Policy or the Hedge Agreement for such amount in
accordance with Section 5.08 and distribute such amount as required under the
Certificate Insurance Policy or the Hedge Agreement.
Any term used herein that is defined in the Agreement shall have the
meaning assigned in the Agreement, and nothing herein shall be deemed
inconsistent with that meaning.

Trustee to any obligation or liability in addition to those undertaken in the
Agreement or (ii) a representation letter, in the form as described by the

COUNTY OF )
The undersigned, being first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. That he/she is [Title of Officer] of [Name of Owner] (record or
beneficial owner of the GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust
Pass-Through Certificates, Series 2001-1, Class R (the "Owner")), a [savings
institution][corporation] duly organized and existing under the laws of [the
State of ][the United States], on behalf of which he/she makes this
------------
affidavit and agreement.
2. That the Owner (i) is not and will not be a disqualified
organization, (ii) will endeavor to remain other than a disqualified
organization for so long as it retains its ownership interest in the Class R
Certificates, and (iii) is acquiring the Class R Certificates for its own
account or for the account of another Owner from which it has received an
affidavit and agreement in substantially the same form as this affidavit and
agreement. (For this purpose, a "disqualified organization" means (a) a
"disqualified organization" as defined in Section 860E(e)(5) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), (b) the United States, any State
or political subdivision thereof, any possession of the United States, or any
agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing (other than an instrumentality
which is a corporation if all of its activities are subject to tax and, except
for the FHLMC, a majority of its board of directors is not selected by such
governmental unit), (c) a foreign government, any international organization, or
any agency or instrumentality of any of the foregoing, (d) any organization
(other than certain farmers' cooperatives described in Section 521 of the Code)
which is exempt from the tax imposed by Chapter 1 of the Code (including the tax
imposed by Section 511 of the Code on unrelated business taxable income), (e)
rural electric and telephone cooperatives described in Section 1381(a)(2)(C) of
the Code, (f) any Person "electing large partnership" within the meaning of
Section 775 of the Code and (g) any other person so designated by the Trustee
based upon an Opinion of Counsel that the holding of an Ownership Interest in a
Class R Certificate by such Person may cause the Trust Fund, or any Person
having an Ownership Interest in any class of Certificates (other than such
Person) to incur a liability for any federal tax imposed under the Code that
would not otherwise be imposed but for the Transfer of an Ownership Interest in
a Certificate to such Person. The terms "United States", "State" and
"international organization" shall have the meanings set forth in Section 7701
of the Code or successor provisions.
3. That the Owner is aware (i) of the tax that would be imposed on
transfers of Class R Certificates to disqualified organizations under the Code;
(ii) that such tax would be on the transferor, or, if such transfer is through
an agent (which person includes a broker, nominee or middleman) for a
disqualified organization, on the agent; (iii) that the person otherwise liable
for the tax shall be relieved of liability for the tax if the transferee
furnishes to such person an affidavit that the transferee is not a disqualified
organization and, at the time of transfer, such person does not have actual
knowledge that the affidavit is false; and (iv) that the Class R Certificates
may be
Exhibit G-1-1
"noneconomic residual interests" within the meaning of Treasury regulations
promulgated pursuant to the Code and that the transferor of a noneconomic
residual interest will remain liable for any taxes due with respect to the
income on such residual interest, unless no significant purpose of the transfer
was to impede the assessment or collection of tax.
4. That the Owner is aware of the tax imposed on a "pass-through
entity" holding Class R Certificates if at any time during the taxable year of
the pass-through entity a disqualified organization is the record holder of an
interest in such entity. (For this purpose, a "pass through entity" includes a
regulated investment company, a real estate investment trust or common trust
fund, a partnership, trust or estate, and certain cooperatives.)
5. The Owner is not an employee benefit plan or other plan subject to
the prohibited transaction provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security
Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), or Section 4975 of the Code, or an investment
manager, named fiduciary or a trustee of any such plan, or any other Person
acting, directly or indirectly, on behalf of or purchasing any Certificate with
"plan assets" of any such plan.
6. That the Owner is aware that the Trustee will not register the
transfer of any Class R Certificates unless the transferee, or the transferee's
agent, delivers to it an affidavit and agreement, among other things, in
substantially the same form as this affidavit and agreement. The Owner expressly
agrees that it will not consummate any such transfer if it knows or believes
that any of the representations contained in such affidavit and agreement are
false.
7. That the Owner has reviewed the restrictions set forth on the face
of the Class R Certificates and the provisions of Section 6.02(c) of the Pooling
and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement") under which the Class R Certificates
were issued (in particular, clause (iii)(A) and (iii)(B) of Section 6.02(c)
which authorize the Trustee and the Servicer to deliver payments to a person
other than the Owner and negotiate a mandatory sale in the event the Owner holds
such Certificates in violation of Section 6.02(c)). The Owner expressly agrees
to be bound by and to comply with such restrictions and provisions.
8. That the Owner has reviewed the provisions of the Agreement
defining the obligations of the REMIC Administrator (as defined in the
Agreement) and hereby assumes such obligations of the REMIC Administrator and
delegates such duties to the Servicer (as defined in the Agreement); provided,
however, that such delegation will not relieve the Owner of its obligations as
REMIC Administrator. The Owner expressly agrees to be bound by and to comply
with such provisions.
9. That the Owner consents to any additional restrictions or
arrangements that shall be deemed necessary upon advice of counsel to constitute
a reasonable arrangement to ensure that the Class R Certificates will only be
owned, directly or indirectly, by an Owner that is not a disqualified
organization.
10. The Owner's Taxpayer Identification Number is
---------------.
11. This affidavit and agreement relates only to the Class R
Certificates held by the Owner and not to any other holder of the Class R
Certificates. The Owner understands that the liabilities described herein relate
only to the Class R Certificates.
Exhibit G-1-2
12. That no purpose of the Owner relating to the transfer of any of
the Class R Certificates by the Owner is or will be to impede the assessment or
collections of any tax.
13. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will be unable to pay any United States taxes owed by it so long as any of the
Certificates remain outstanding. In this regard, the Owner hereby represents to
and for the benefit of the person from whom it acquired the Class R Certificate
that the Owner intends to pay taxes associated with holding such Class R
Certificate as they become due, fully understanding that it may incur tax
liabilities in excess of any cash flows generated by the Class R Certificate.
14. That the Owner has no present knowledge or expectation that it
will become insolvent or subject to a bankruptcy proceeding for so long as any
of the Class R Certificates remain outstanding.
15. The Owner is a citizen or resident of the United States, a
corporation, partnership or other entity created or organized in, or under the
laws of, the United States state thereof (including the District of Columbia),
or an estate or trust whose income from sources without the United States is
includible in gross income for United States federal income tax purposes
regardless of its connection with the conduct of a trade or business within the
United States.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Transferee has caused this instrument to be
executed on its behalf, pursuant to authority of its Board of Directors, by its
duly authorized officer and its corporate seal to be hereunto affixed, duly
attested, this day of , 2001.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This letter is delivered to you in connection with the transfer by
--------
(the "Transferor") to (the "Buyer") of % Percentage Interest of
--------- --
GreenPoint Credit Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Pass-Through Certificates,
Series 2001-1, Class R (the "Certificates"), issued pursuant to Section 6.02(c)
of the Pooling and Servicing Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of March 1,
2001, among GreenPoint Credit, LLC, in its capacity as Contract Seller (the
"Contract Seller") and in its capacity as Servicer (the "Servicer") and Bank
One, National Association (the "Trustee"). All terms used herein and not
otherwise defined shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement. The
Transferor hereby certifies, represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the
Contract Seller, the Servicer and the Trustee that:
1. No purpose of the Transferor relating to the transfer of the Certificate
by the Transferor to the Buyer is or will be to impede the assessment or
collection of any tax.
2. The Transferor understands that the Buyer has delivered to the Trustee
and the Servicer a transfer affidavit and agreement in the form attached to the
Agreement as Exhibit G-1. The Transferor does not know or believe that any
representation contained therein is false.
3. The Transferor has at the time of the transfer conducted a reasonable
investigation of the financial condition of the Buyer as contemplated by
Treasury Regulations Section 1.860E-1(c)(4)(i) and, as a result of that
investigation, the Transferor has determined that the Buyer has historically
paid its debts as they become due and has found no significant evidence to
indicate that the Buyer will not continue to pay its debts as they become due in
the future. The Transferor understands that the transfer of a Class R
Certificate may not be respected for United States income tax purposes (and the
Transferor may continue to be liable for United States income taxes associated
therewith) unless the Transferor has conducted such an investigation.
4. The Transferor has no actual knowledge that the proposed Buyer is not
both a United States Person and a Permitted Transferee.
Exhibit G-2-1
5. The Transferor further certifies that (a) we understand that such
Certificates have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the "Act"), and are being disposed of by us in a transaction that is
exempt from the registration requirements of the Act, (b) neither the Transferor
nor anyone acting on its behalf has (i) offered, pledged, sold, disposed of or
otherwise transferred any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any
other similar security from any person in any manner, (ii) solicited any offer
to buy or to accept a pledge, disposition or other transfer of any Certificate,
any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security from any person in
any manner, (iii) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any
Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any other similar security from
any person in any manner, (iv) made any general solicitation by means of general
advertising or in any other manner, or (v) taken any other action, that (as to
any of (i) through (iv) above) would constitute a distribution of the
Certificates under the Act, that would render the disposition of any Certificate
a violation of Section 5 of the Act or any state securities law, or that would
require registration or qualification pursuant thereto, or (c) to the extent
such transfer is pursuant to Rule 144A under the Act, we have not offered the
Certificates to anyone other than a "qualified institutional buyer" as defined
in Rule 144A and the Act. The Transferor will not act, in any manner set forth
in the foregoing sentence with respect to any Certificate. The Transferor has
not and will not sell or otherwise transfer any of the Certificates, except in
compliance with the provisions of the Agreement.

The following sets forth the auction procedures to be followed in
connection with a sale effected pursuant to Section 10.01(b) of the Pooling and

general solicitation package along with a confidentiality agreement;
(ii) develop a list of qualified bidders, in a commercially reasonable

confidentiality agreement to all qualified bidders; (v) upon receipt
of a signed confidentiality agreement, send solicitation packages to
all interested bidders on behalf of the Trustee; and (vi) notify the

the Certificates; (ii) a copy of all monthly servicing reports or a
copy of all annual servicing reports and the prior year's monthly
servicing reports; (iii) a form of a sale and servicing agreement
prepared by the Trustee and the Servicer (or prepared by the Advisor
and approved by the Trustee and the Servicer); (iv) a description of
the minimum purchase price required to cause the Trustee to sell the
Contracts as set forth in Section 10.01 (a) of the Agreement; (v) a
formal bidsheet; (vi) a detailed timetable; and (vii) a preliminary
data tape of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance as of a recent
Distribution Date reflecting the same data attributes used to create
the Cut-Off Date tables for the prospectus supplement dated March 26,
2001 relating to the public offering of certain of the Certificates.
None of the Trustee, the Contract Seller or the Servicer shall be
required to produce an updated prospectus or prospectus supplement,
and the auction procedures shall be carried out in a manner that does
not constitute a public offering of securities.
(c) The Trustee, with the assistance of the Servicer and the Advisor, will
maintain an auction package beginning at the time of closing of the
transaction, which will contain the documents listed under clauses
(i)-(ii) of the preceding paragraph. If the Advisor is unable to
perform its role as advisor to the Trustee, the Servicer acting in its
capacity under the Agreement will select a successor Advisor and
inform the Trustee of its actions.
(d) The Advisor will send solicitation packages to all bidders at least 15
Business Days before the Auction Termination Date. Bidders will be
required to submit any due
Exhibit K-1
diligence questions in writing to the Advisor for determination of
their relevancy, no later than 10 Business Days before the Auction
Termination Date. The Servicer and the Advisor will be required to
satisfy all relevant questions at least five Business Days prior to
the Auction Termination Date and distribute the questions and answers
to all bidders.
II. Auction Process
(a) The Advisor, any underwriter, or any Certificate Owner will be allowed
to bid in the Auction, but will not be required to do so.
(b) The Servicer will also be allowed to bid in the Termination Auction if
it deems appropriate, but will not be required to do so.
(c) On the Auction Termination Date, all bids will be due by facsimile to
the offices of the Trustee by 1:00 p.m. New York City time, with the
winning bidder to be notified by 2:00 p.m. New York City time. All
acceptable bids (as described in Section 10.01 (b) of the Agreement)
will be due on a conforming basis on the bid sheet contained in the
solicitation package.
(d) If the Trustee receives fewer than two market value bids from
participants in the market for manufactured housing installment sales
contracts and installment loan contracts willing and able to purchase
the Contracts, the Trustee shall decline to consummate the sale.
(e) Upon notification to the winning bidder, a good faith deposit equal to
one percent (1%) of the Pool Scheduled Principal Balance will be
required to be wired to the Trustee upon acceptance of the bid. This
deposit, along with any interest income attributable to it, will be
credited to the purchase price but will not be refundable. The trustee
will establish a separate account for the acceptance of the good faith
deposit, until such time as the account is fully funded and all monies
are transferred into the Certificate Accounts, such time not to be
later than one Business Day before the related Distribution Date (as
described above).
(f) The winning bidder will receive on the Auction Termination Date a copy
of the draft sale and servicing agreement and Servicer's
Representations and Warranties (which shall be substantially identical
to the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.01 of the
Agreement).
(g) The Advisor will provide to the Trustee a letter concluding whether or
not the winning bid is a fair market value bid. The Advisor will also
provide such letter if it is the winning bidder. In the case where the
Advisor or the Servicer is the winning bidder it will provide for
market comparables and valuations in its letter.
(h) The Termination Auction will stipulate the Servicer be retained to
service the Contracts sold pursuant to the terms of the sale and
servicing agreement.
(i) The Termination Auction will stipulate that such sale and consequent
termination of the Trust Fund must constitute a "qualified
liquidation" of the Trust Fund under
Exhibit K-2
Section 860F of the Code, including the requirement that such
liquidation take place over a period not to exceed 90 days. The
Trustee may, in its discretion, require that the purchaser of the
Contracts provide the Trustee with an Opinion of Counsel to that
effect.
