Covenants, Representations and Warranties Regarding the Servicer. By its execution and delivery of this Agreement, Origen Financial L.L.C., as initial Servicer, and Origen Servicing, Inc., as initial Subservicer, each makes the following representations, warranties and covenants as of the Closing Date on which the Trust relies in accepting the Contracts and issuing the Certificates and the Notes. (A) Formation and Good Standing. The Servicer is a limited liability company, and the Subservicer is a corporation, formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation and has the power to own its assets and to transact the business in which it is currently engaged. Each of the Servicer and the Subservicer is duly qualified to do business as a foreign limited liability company or corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which 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 the business, properties, assets, or condition (financial or other) of the Servicer or the Subservicer, as applicable. (B) Authorization: Binding Obligations. Each of the Servicer and the Subservicer 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 all necessary corporate action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. When executed and delivered, this Agreement will constitute the legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the Servicer and the Subservicer enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement of such terms maybe limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by the availability of equitable remedies. (C) No Consent Required. Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer is required to obtain the consent of any 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 for such consents, licenses, approvals and authorizations as have been obtained. (D) No Violations. The execution, delivery and performance by the Servicer and the Subservicer of this Agreement and the fulfillment of its terms will not violate any provision of any existing law or regulation or any order or decree of any court or the related Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws or other organizational document of the Servicer or the Subservicer, or constitute a material breach of any mortgage, indenture, contract or other agreement to which the Servicer or the Subservicer is a party or by which the Servicer or Subservicer may be bound. 3 (E) Litigation. No litigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, tribunal or governmental body is currently pending, or to the knowledge of the Servicer or the Subservicer threatened, against the Servicer or the Subservicer or any of their respective properties or with respect to this Agreement or the Notes which, if adversely determined, would in the opinion of the Servicer or the Subservicer have a material adverse effect on the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. (F) Chief Executive Office. The chief executive office of each of the Servicer and the Subservicer is at 27777 Franklin Road, Suite 1700, Southfield, Michigan 48034. (G) No Default. Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer is in default with respect to any order or decree of any court or any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency, which default would materially and adversely affect its condition (financial or other) or operations or its properties or the consequences of which would materially and adversely affect its performance hereunder. Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer is in default under any agreement involving financial obligations or on any outstanding obligation which would materially adversely impact its financial condition or operations or legal documents associated with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. (H) No Amendments. Neither the Servicer nor the Subservicer shall extend or otherwise amend the terms of any Contract, except in accordance with Section 3.07. Section 2.02. Existence. The Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises as a statutory trust under the laws of the State of Delaware (unless it becomes, or any successor Issuer hereunder is or becomes, organized under the laws of any other state or of the United States of America, in which case the Issuer will keep in full effect its existence, rights and franchises under the laws of such other jurisdiction) and will obtain and preserve its qualification to do business in each jurisdiction in which such qualification is or shall be necessary to protect the validity and enforceability of this Servicing Agreement. Section 2.03. Enforcement of Representations and Warranties. The Servicer shall cause the Originator to repurchase a Contract, at its Repurchase Price, not later than the last day of the month prior to the month that is 90 days after the day on which the Originator, the Seller, the Servicer or the Indenture Trustee first discovers a breach of a representation or warranty of the Originator or the Seller set forth in Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, 3.5 or 3.6 of the Asset Purchase Agreement that materially adversely affects the Issuer's, the Noteholders' or the Certificateholders' interest in such Contract and which breach has not been cured; provided, however, that (i) in the event that a party other than the Originator first becomes aware of such breach, such discovering party shall notify the Originator in writing within five Business Days of the date of such discovery and (ii) with respect to any Contract incorrectly described on the List of Contracts with respect to unpaid principal balance, which the Originator would otherwise be required to repurchase pursuant to this Section, the Servicer may cause the Originator, in lieu of repurchasing such Contract, to deliver to the Servicer or the Subservicer for deposit in the Collection Account no later than the first Determination Date that is 90 or more days from the date of such discovery cash in an amount sufficient to cure such deficiency or discrepancy. Upon receipt by the Indenture Trustee of a certificate of a Servicing Officer in the form attached 4 hereto as Exhibit B, any such cash so deposited shall be distributed to Noteholders and Certificateholders on the immediately following Payment Date as a collection of principal on such Contract. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the obligation of the Servicer under this Section to enforce the Originator's obligations pursuant to the Asset Purchase Agreement shall not terminate upon a Service Transfer pursuant to Article VI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall cause the Originator to repurchase any Land-and-Home Contract, at such Contract's Repurchase Price, or substitute for it an Eligible Substitute Asset as described in Section 2.03(b), if the Originator has failed to deliver the related Land and Home Contract File to the Custodian within 30 days of the Closing Date, subject to delays in delivery of recordable documents. Each of the parties to this Agreement acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 2.03 are an obligation solely of the Servicer and the Originator and not of any other party to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Backup Servicer succeeds to the servicing rights and responsibilities as provided in Section 6.02 and/or Section 6.03, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation under this Section 2.03 other than to use its commercially reasonable efforts to request and/or demand the Originator to perform its obligations under this Section 2.03. ARTICLE III ADMINISTRATION AND SERVICING OF CONTRACTS Section 3.01. Responsibility for Contract Administration. The Servicer shall have the sole obligation to manage, administer, service and make collections on the Contracts and perform or cause to be performed all contractual and customary undertakings of the holder of the Contracts to the Obligor. At the written request of the Servicer, accompanied by the form of power of attorney or other documents being requested, the Indenture Trustee shall furnish to the Servicer any powers of attorney and other documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and the Indenture Trustee shall not be held responsible for any acts by the Servicer in its uses of any such powers of attorney or other document. The Servicer shall indemnify the Indenture Trustee for any reasonable costs, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by the Indenture Trustee in connection with the intentional or negligent misuse of such power of attorney by the Servicer, as applicable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Servicer shall not without the Indenture Trustee's written consent (i) initiate any action, suit or proceeding solely under the Indenture Trustee's name without indicating the Servicer's representative capacity or (ii) knowingly cause the Indenture Trustee to be registered to do business in any state, provided, however, that the preceding clause (i) shall not apply to the initiation of actions relating to Contracts that the Servicer is servicing pursuant to its respective duties herein. The limitations of the preceding clause shall not be construed to limit any duty or obligation imposed on the Indenture Trustee under any other provision of this Agreement. Origen Financial L.L.C. is hereby appointed the Servicer until such time as any Service Transfer shall be effected under Article VI. Section 3.02. Standard of Care. In managing, administering, servicing and making collections on the Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, the Servicer shall exercise that degree of skill and care consistent with the same degree of skill and care that the Servicer exercises with 5 respect to similar contracts serviced by the Servicer; provided, however, that (i) such degree of skill and care shall be at least as favorable as the degree of skill and care generally applied by servicers of manufactured housing installment sales contracts for institutional investors and (ii) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Servicer shall not release or waive the right to collect the unpaid balance on any Contract unless it makes the determination that acceptance of the liquidation proceeds from the related Obligor would result in the Trust receiving a greater amount of collections than the Net Liquidation Proceeds that would result from repossessing or foreclosing and liquidating the related Manufactured Home. Section 3.03. Records. The Servicer shall, during the period it is servicer hereunder, maintain such books of account and other records as will enable the Indenture Trustee to determine the status of each Contract. Section 3.04. Inspection: Electronic File. (a) At all times during the term hereof, the Servicer shall afford the Indenture Trustee and its authorized agents reasonable access during normal business hours to the Servicer's records, which have not previously been provided to the Trust, relating to the Contracts and will cause its personnel to assist in any examination of such records by the Indenture Trustee or its authorized agents. The examination referred to in this Section will be conducted in a manner which does not unreasonably interfere with the Servicer's normal operations or customer or employee relations. Without otherwise limiting the scope of the examination the Indenture Trustee may make, the Indenture Trustee may, using generally accepted audit procedures, verify the status of each Contract and review the Electronic Ledger and records relating thereto for conformity to Monthly Reports prepared pursuant to Section 3.26 of the Indenture 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 List of Contracts at its principal executive office for inspection by Noteholders and Certificateholders. (c) On or before the fourth Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer shall determine the Amount Available for such Payment Date to be remitted to the Note Payment Account and shall provide to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer an electronic file (the "Electronic File") setting forth such amount and any other information necessary for the Indenture Trustee to perform the calculations required hereunder and under the Indenture and prepare the Monthly Report. The Indenture Trustee will be entitled to rely on information supplied by the Servicer without independent verification. Section 3.05. Collection Account. (a) On or before the Closing Date, the Servicer shall establish the Collection Account with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., which must be an Eligible Account and notify the Backup Servicer of the location of the Collection Account. The Collection Account shall be entitled "Origen Servicing for the benefit of JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Indenture Trustee for the benefit of holders of Origen Manufactured Housing Contract Trust Collateralized Notes, Series 6 2005-B." The Servicer shall pay into the Collection Account as promptly as practicable (not later than the second Business Day) following receipt thereof: (i) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of principal on the Contracts and all Principal Prepayments collected after the Cut-off Date; (ii) all payments received after the Cut-off Date on account of interest on the Contracts; (iii) all Net Liquidation Proceeds; (iv) all Insurance Proceeds unless to be used to directly offset the cost of repairing the related property; (v) any amounts payable in connection with the repurchase of any Contract pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof or Section 3.7 of the Asset Purchase Agreement; and (vi) any other amount required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that with respect to each Due Period, the Servicer shall be permitted to retain the Monthly Servicing Fee for the related Payment Date from payments in respect of interest on the Contracts in accordance with Section 3.06 hereof. The foregoing requirements respecting deposits to the Collection Account are exclusive, it being understood that, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer need not deposit in the Collection Account amounts representing late payment fees, assumption fees, extension fees or escrow deposits payable by Obligors, which amounts shall be property of the Servicer. The Servicer agrees that all amounts paid into the Collection Account under this Agreement shall be held in trust for the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders until payment or withdrawal of any such amounts is authorized under this Agreement. If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the Collection Account shall, in the name of the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such, invest the amounts in the Collection Account in Permitted Investments that mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Payment Date. All income and gain from such investments shall be payable to the Servicer. An amount equal to any net loss on such investments shall be deposited in the Collection Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided that if the Backup Servicer succeeds to the servicing rights and responsibilities as provided in Section 6.02 and/or Section 6.03, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation or responsibility for any losses occasioned by or arising from the prior Servicer's investments. The Indenture Trustee shall in no way be responsible or liable for losses on amounts invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Collection Account not so invested must be insured to the extent of the maximum amount insurable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. If the Servicer so directs, the institution maintaining the Note Payment Account shall, in the name of the Indenture Trustee in its capacity as such, invest the amounts in the Note Payment Account in Permitted Investments that mature not later than one Business Day prior to the next succeeding Payment Date. All income and gain from such investments shall be payable 7 to the Servicer. An amount equal to any net loss on such investments shall be deposited in the Note Payment Account by the Servicer out of its own funds immediately as realized; provided that if the Backup Servicer succeeds to the servicing rights and responsibilities as provided in Section 6.02 and/or Section 6.03, the Backup Servicer shall have no obligation or responsibility for any losses occasioned by or arising from the prior Servicer's investments. The Indenture Trustee shall in no way be responsible or liable for losses on amounts invested in accordance with the provisions hereof. Funds in the Note Payment Account not so invested must be insured to the extent of the maximum amount insurable by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. (b) If at anytime the Servicer receives notice (from each Rating Agency, the Indenture Trustee or otherwise) that the Collection Account has ceased to be an Eligible Account, the Servicer must, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 5 Business Days of the Servicer's receipt of such notice, transfer the Collection Account and all funds and Permitted Investments therein to an Eligible Account. Following any such transfer, the Servicer must notify each Rating Agency and the Indenture Trustee of the location of the Collection Account. Section 3.06. Permitted Withdrawals. The Servicer may, from time to time as provided herein, make withdrawals from the Collection Account of amounts deposited in said account pursuant to Section 3.05 that are attributable to the Contracts for the following purposes: (a) to remit the Amount Available to the Indenture Trustee for deposit in the Note Payment Account to make payments in the amounts and in the manner provided for in Section 8.02 of the Indenture; (b) to pay to the Originator with respect to each Contract or property acquired in respect thereof that has been repurchased or replaced pursuant to Section 2.03 hereof or Section 3.7 of the Asset Purchase Agreement, all amounts received thereon and not required to be distributed to Noteholders or Certificateholders as of the date on which the related Principal Balance or Repurchase Price is determined; (c) to reimburse the Servicer out of Liquidation Proceeds for Liquidation Expenses incurred by it, to the extent such reimbursement is permitted pursuant to Section 3.09, and to reimburse the Servicer as provided in Sections 3.08, 3.11, 3.13 and 6.02; (d) to withdraw any amount deposited in the Collection Account that was not required to be deposited therein; (e) to make any rebates or adjustments deemed necessary by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.07(d); or (f) to reimburse the Servicer (1) for any accrued unpaid Monthly Servicing Fees and (2) for unreimbursed Servicing Advances, including Nonrecoverable Advances, to the extent not otherwise retained. The Servicer's right to reimbursement for Servicing Advances that are not Nonrecoverable Advances shall be limited to late collections on the related Contract, including Liquidation Proceeds, Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as maybe collected by the Servicer from the related Obligor or otherwise relating to the Contract in respect of which such reimbursed amounts are owed. Except with respect to Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer's right to reimbursement for unreimbursed Servicing Advances shall be limited to late collections 8 of interest on any Contract and to Liquidation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds on related Obligors. In addition, expenses incurred by the Servicer in connection with a defaulted Contract which is subsequently reinstated, worked out or cured, shall be reimbursable to the Servicer as a Nonrecoverable Advance at the time of the cure. Since, in connection with withdrawals pursuant to clause (b), the Originator's entitlement thereto is limited to collections or other recoveries on the related Contract, the Servicer shall keep and maintain separate accounting, on a Contract by Contract basis, for the purpose of justifying any withdrawal from the Collection Account pursuant to such clause. Two Business Days before each Payment Date, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, the Indenture Trustee shall notify the Servicer of the Interest Deficiency Remedy Amount, if any, payable on the Notes for such Payment Date. One Business Day before each Payment Date, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York time, the Servicer shall remit to the Indenture Trustee for deposit into the Note Payment Account (i) the Amount Available and (ii) from Amounts Held for Future Distribution, the Interest Deficiency Remedy Amount for such Payment Date. Section 3.07. Enforcement. (a) The Servicer shall, consistent with customary servicing procedures and the terms of this Agreement, act with respect to the Contracts in such manner as, in the Servicer's reasonable judgment, will maximize the receipt of principal and interest on such Contracts and Liquidation Proceeds with respect to Liquidated Contracts. (b) The Servicer may sue to enforce, initiate a replevin action, or collect upon Contracts, in its own name, if possible, or as agent for the Trust. (c) The Servicer shall exercise any rights of recourse against third persons that exist with respect to any Contract in accordance with the Servicer's usual practice. In exercising recourse rights, the Servicer is authorized on the Issuer's and the Indenture Trustee's behalf to reassign the Contract or to resell the related Manufactured Home 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 Collection Account that the Servicer in good faith believes is required because of prepayment in full of the Contract. The Servicer will not permit any rescission or cancellation of any Contract, except as required by applicable law or regulation or upon the order of any court or other governmental authority asserting jurisdiction in a suit, claim or complaint involving the Contract. (e) The Servicer may, consistent with its customary servicing procedures and consistent with Section 3.02, grant to the Obligor on any Contract an extension of payments due under such Contract; provided that, no such extension may extend beyond the final scheduled payment date of the Contract with the latest maturity, and no more than three extensions for any one Contract of payments under a Contract may be granted in any twelve-month period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in connection with a Contract that is in default or for which default is imminent, the Servicer may, consistent with the servicing standard described in Section 3.01, waive, modify or vary any term of that Contract (including modifications that change the 9 Contract Rate, forgive the payment of principal or interest or extend the final maturity date of that Contract), accept payment from the related Obligor of an amount less than the Principal Balance in final satisfaction of that Contract, or consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or otherwise grant the indulgence to any Obligor if in the Servicer's determination such waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to the interests of the Noteholders (taking into account any estimated loss that might result absent such action). However, the Servicer shall not extend the maturity of any Contract past the date on which the final payment is due on the latest maturing Contract as of the related Cut-off Date. (f) The Servicer may enforce any due-on-sale clause in a Contract if such enforcement is called for under its then current servicing policies for obligations similar to the Contracts; provided that such enforcement is permitted by applicable law and will not adversely affect any applicable insurance policy. If an assumption of a Contract is permitted by the Servicer upon conveyance of the related Manufactured Home, the Servicer shall use its best efforts to obtain an assumption agreement in connection therewith and add such assumption agreement to the related Contract File or Land and Home Contract File. Section 3.08. Indenture Trustee to Cooperate. (a) Upon payment in full of any Contract, the Servicer shall notify the Indenture Trustee, the Originator and the Seller on the next succeeding Payment Date by certification of a Servicing Officer (which certification shall include a statement to the effect that all amounts received in connection with such payments which are required to be deposited in the Collection Account pursuant to Section 3.05 have been so 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 lien on the related real estate and collateral. The Servicer shall determine when a Contract has been paid in full; to the extent that insufficient payments are received on a Contract but are otherwise incorrectly credited by the Servicer as prepaid or paid in full and satisfied, the shortfall shall be paid by the Servicer out of its own funds; provided that the Servicer may reimburse itself for such shortfall payment from the Collection Account if the Servicer corrects the error and receives amounts in respect of such shortfall payment from future collections with respect to such Contract. (b) From time to time as appropriate for servicing and foreclosure in connection with any Land-and-Home Contract, the Indenture Trustee shall, upon written request of a Servicing Officer and delivery to the Indenture Trustee of a receipt signed by such Servicing Officer, at the expense of the Servicer, cause the original Land-and-Home Contract and the related Land-and-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 Indenture Trustee shall stamp the face of each such Land-and-Home Contract to be released to the Servicer with a notation that the Land-and-Home Contract has been assigned to the Indenture Trustee. Upon request of a Servicing Officer, the Indenture Trustee shall perform such other acts as reasonably requested by the Servicer and otherwise cooperate with the Servicer in enforcement of the Noteholders' and the Certificateholders' rights and remedies with respect to Contracts. The Indenture Trustee shall not be liable for the performance of any such acts at the request of the Servicer. 10 (c) The Servicer's receipt of a Land-and-Home Contract and/or Land-and-Home Contract File shall obligate the Servicer to return the original Land-and-Home Contract and the related Land-and-Home Contract File to the Indenture Trustee when its need by the Servicer has ceased unless the Asset shall be liquidated or repurchased or replaced as described in Section 2.03. Section 3.09. Costs and Expenses. All costs and expenses incurred by the Servicer in carrying out its duties hereunder, including all fees and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement of Contracts (including enforcement of defaulted Contracts and repossessions of Manufactured Homes securing such Contracts) shall be paid by the Servicer and the Servicer shall not be entitled to reimbursement hereunder, except to the extent specifically provided herein. Furthermore, the Servicer shall be reimbursed out of the Liquidation Proceeds of a Liquidated Contract for Liquidation Expenses incurred by it and if such Liquidation Expenses are deemed Nonrecoverable Advances, the Servicer may reimburse itself as provided in Section 3.06(f). The Servicer shall not incur such Liquidation Expenses unless it determines in its good faith business judgment that incurring such expenses will increase the Net Liquidation Proceeds on the related Contract. Section 3.10. Maintenance of Insurance. (a) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (b) of this Section 3.10, 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 related 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 due from the Obligor on the related Contract, whichever is less; provided, however, 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; and provided, further, that such Hazard Insurance Policies may provide for customary deductible amounts. With respect to any Contract, the Servicer shall cause the Originator to obtain (i) a statement from the Obligor's insurance agent or through other information sources that the Manufactured Home was, at the time of origination of the Contract, not in a federally designated special flood hazard area, or (ii) evidence that, at the time of origination, flood insurance was in effect, which coverage was 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 force place coverage and pay such premiums out of its own funds and may separately add such premium to the Obligor's obligation as provided by the Contract, but shall not add such premium to the remaining principal balance of the Contract. 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, and if such advance for insurance premiums is deemed by the Servicer to be nonrecoverable in its reasonable opinion, the Servicer may reimburse itself from the Collection Account for such Nonrecoverable Advance. 11 (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 3.10, 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 on the Obligor's interest in the Contracts resulting from the absence or insufficiency of individual Hazard Insurance Policies. Any such blanket policy shall be substantially in the form and in the amount carried by the Servicer as of the date of this Agreement. The Servicer shall pay the premium for such policy on the basis described therein and shall deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds any deductible amount with respect to claims under such blanket insurance policy relating to the Contracts. The Servicer shall not, however, be required to deposit any deductible amount with respect to claims under individual Hazard Insurance Policies maintained pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section. If the insurer under such blanket insurance policy shall cease to be acceptable to the Servicer, the Servicer shall exercise its best reasonable efforts to obtain from another insurer a replacement policy comparable to such policy. (c) With respect to each Manufactured Home that has been repossessed in connection with a defaulted Contract, the Servicer shall either (i) maintain one or more Hazard Insurance Policies thereon or (ii) self-insure such Manufactured Homes and deposit into the Collection Account from its own funds any losses caused by damage to such Manufactured Home that would have been covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy. (d) The Servicer shall keep in force throughout the term of this Agreement (i) a policy or policies of insurance covering errors and omissions for failure to maintain insurance as required by this Agreement and (ii) a fidelity bond. Such policy or policies and such fidelity bond shall be in such form and amount as is generally customary among Persons which service a portfolio of manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements having an aggregate principal amount of $100,000,000 or more and which are generally regarded as servicers acceptable to institutional investors. Section 3.11. Repossession. Consistently with the standard of care specified in Section 3.02, the Servicer shall commence procedures for the repossession of any Manufactured Home or the foreclosure upon any Mortgaged Property or take such other steps that in the Servicer's reasonable judgment will maximize the receipt of principal and interest or Net Liquidation Proceeds with respect to a delinquent Contract secured by such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property (which may include retitling or filing a recorded assignment of the Mortgage) subject to the requirements of the applicable state and federal law. Notwithstanding the standard of care specified in Section 3.02, the Servicer shall commence procedures for the repossession of any Manufactured Home or the foreclosure upon any Mortgaged Property with respect to a Contract, and to liquidate such Manufactured Home or Mortgaged Property, as soon as commercially reasonably practicable after the time when such Contract becomes a Charged off Contract (or sooner in the Servicer's reasonable judgment). Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.11 or any other provision of this Agreement, with respect to any Contract as to which the Servicer has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any toxic or hazardous substance on the related Mortgaged Property, the Servicer shall not, on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, either (i) obtain title to such Mortgaged Property as a result of or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take 12 any other action with respect to, such Mortgaged Property, if, as a result of any such action, the Indenture Trustee, the Trust Estate or the Noteholders would be considered to hold title to, to be a "mortgagee-in-possession" of, or to be an "owner" or "operator" of such Mortgaged Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any comparable law, unless the Servicer has also previously determined, based on its reasonable judgment and a report prepared by a Person who regularly conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that: (1) such Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Indenture Trustee to take such actions as are necessary to bring the Mortgaged Property into compliance therewith; and (2) there are no circumstances present at such Mortgaged Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring, containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal, state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best economic interest of the Indenture Trustee to take such actions with respect to the affected Mortgaged Property. The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated by this Section 3.11 shall be advanced by the Servicer as Servicing Advances, subject to the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(c) or 3.06(f), as appropriate, such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Noteholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Contract or other Contracts. If the Servicer determines, as described above, that it is in the best economic interest of the Indenture Trustee to take such actions as are necessary to bring any such Mortgaged Property into compliance with applicable environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment, clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Mortgaged Property, then the Servicer shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic interest of the Indenture Trustee; provided, however, that the Servicer shall not proceed with foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure if the estimated costs of the environmental clean up, as estimated in the environmental audit report, together with the Servicing Advances made by the Servicer and the estimated costs of foreclosure or acceptance of a deed in lieu of foreclosure exceeds the estimated value of the Mortgaged Property. The cost of any such compliance, containment, cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Servicer, subject to the Servicer's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in Section 3.06(c) or 3.06(f), as appropriate, such right of reimbursement being prior to the rights of Noteholders to receive any amount in the Collection Account received in respect of the affected Contract or other Contracts. In connection with such foreclosure or other conversion, the Servicer shall follow such practices and procedures as it shall deem necessary or advisable and as shall be consistent 13 with Section 3.02. In the event that title to any Mortgaged Property is acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or certificate of sale shall be issued to the Indenture Trustee, as Indenture Trustee, or, at its election, to its nominee on behalf of the Indenture Trustee, as Indenture Trustee. Section 3.12. Subservicing Arrangements. The Servicer may arrange for the subservicing of any Contract by a Subservicer pursuant to a subservicing agreement; provided, however, that such subservicing arrangement and the terms of the related subservicing agreement must provide for the servicing of such Contracts in a manner consistent with the servicing arrangements contemplated hereunder. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement to actions taken or to be taken by the Servicer in servicing the Contracts include actions taken or to be taken by a subservicer on behalf of the Servicer. Notwithstanding the provisions of any subservicing agreement, any of the provisions of this Agreement relating to agreements or arrangements between the Servicer and a subservicer or reference to actions taken through a subservicer or otherwise, the Servicer shall remain obligated and liable to the Issuer, the Indenture Trustee, the Originator, the Seller, the Noteholders and the Certificateholders for the servicing and administration of the Contracts in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement without diminution of such obligation or liability by virtue of such subservicing agreements or arrangements or by virtue of indemnification from the subservicer and to the same extent and under the same terms and conditions as if the Servicer alone were servicing and administering the Contracts. All actions of each subservicer performed pursuant to the related subservicing agreement shall be performed as an agent of the Servicer with the same force and effect as if performed directly by the Servicer. The Servicer hereby appoints Origen Servicing, Inc., as its subservicer. Origen Servicing, Inc. accepts the appointment as subservicer and agrees to service the Contracts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. The Subservicer shall be entitled to retain from collections on the Contracts pursuant to Section 3.06(f), a subservicing fee equal to the portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee calculated at 1.00% per annum, and shall remit all servicing compensation in excess of such amount to the Servicer. Origen Servicing, Inc. is hereby deemed an acceptable Subservicer for purposes of this Agreement. All references to the Servicer in this Agreement shall be deemed to include reference to the Subservicer and the parties to this Agreement shall deal directly with the Subservicer rather than the Servicer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto may and shall be entitled to rely on direction provided by either the Servicer or the Subservicer. For purposes of this Agreement, the Servicer shall be deemed to have received any collections, recoveries or payments with respect to the Contracts that are received by a Subservicer regardless of whether such payments are remitted by the Subservicer to the Servicer. Section 3.13. Retitling; Security Interests. (a) If, at any time, a Service Transfer has occurred and the new Servicer is unable to repossess or foreclose upon a Manufactured Home because the title document for such Manufactured Home does not show such Servicer or the Indenture Trustee as the holder of the first priority security interest in the Manufactured Home, such Servicer shall take all necessary steps to apply for a replacement title document showing it or the Indenture Trustee as the secured 14 party; provided that the new Servicer shall be reimbursed by the Trust for all reasonable expenses in connection with its responsibilities under this Section 3.13. (b) In order to facilitate the Servicer's actions, as described in subsection (a) of this section, Origen Servicing, Inc. will provide the Servicer, and the Servicer will provide the Indenture Trustee, with any necessary power of attorney permitting it to retitle the Manufactured Home. (c) If the Servicer is still unable to retitle the Manufactured Home, Origen Servicing, Inc. will take all actions necessary to act with the Servicer to initiate replevin action upon the Manufactured Home, including, as appropriate, the filing of any UCC-1 or UCC-2 financing statements necessary to perfect the security interest in any Manufactured Home that constitutes a fixture under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is located and all actions necessary to perfect the security interest in any Manufactured Home that is 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. Section 3.14. 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, or equal to or coordinate with, the lien of the related Contract, the Servicer, consistent with Section 3.02, shall advance, but only to the extent that the Servicer deems, in its sole judgement, such advance recoverable, 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 Noteholders, the Certificateholders and the Indenture 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 3.14 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 3.15. Statement as to Compliance. Not later than March 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006, the Servicer will deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Depositor an Officers' Certificate (upon which the Indenture Trustee can conclusively rely in connection with its obligations under Section 7.05 of the Indenture) substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of the Servicer and the Subservicer during the preceding calendar year and of performance under this Servicing Agreement has been 15 made under such officer's supervision and (ii) to the best of such officer's knowledge, based on such review, each of the Servicer and the Subservicer has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Servicing 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. Copies of any such statement shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee to any Noteholder and to any Person identified to the Indenture Trustee as a prospective transferee of a Note, upon request at the expense of the requesting party, provided such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee. Section 3.16. Independent Public Accountants' Servicing Report. Not later than April 15th of each calendar year commencing in 2006, the Servicer, at its expense, shall cause a nationally recognized firm of independent certified public accountants to furnish to the Servicer a report stating that (i) it has obtained a letter of representation regarding certain matters from the management of each of the Servicer and the Subservicer which includes an assertion that each of the Servicer and the Subservicer has complied with certain minimum servicing standards, identified in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers established by the Mortgage Bankers Association of America, with respect to the servicing of manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements during the most recently completed calendar year and (ii) on the basis of an examination conducted by such firm in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants, such representation is fairly stated in all material respects, subject to such exceptions and other qualifications that may be appropriate. In rendering its report such firm may rely, as to matters relating to the direct servicing of manufactured housing installment sales contracts and installment loan agreements by Sub-Servicers, upon comparable reports of firms of independent certified public accountants rendered on the basis of examinations conducted in accordance with the same standards (rendered within one year of such report) with respect to those Sub-Servicers. Immediately upon receipt of such report, the Servicer shall, at its own expense, furnish a copy of such report to the Indenture Trustee and each Rating Agency. Copies of such statement shall be provided by the Indenture Trustee to any Noteholder upon request, provided that such statement is delivered by the Servicer to the Indenture Trustee. Section 3.17. Optional Redemption. (a) The Servicer shall have the option to purchase all outstanding Contracts on any Payment Date on or after the Payment Date on which the Pool Principal Balance is less than or equal to 20% of the Cut-off Date Pool Balance. The aggregate redemption price for the Contracts will be equal to the greater of (a) the sum of: (i)100% of the Principal Balance of each Contract, other than any Contract as to which the related Manufactured Home has been repossessed and whose fair market value is included in clause (ii) hereof, and (ii) the fair market value of any acquired property, as determined by the Servicer, and (b) the aggregate fair market value of all assets of the Trust Estate (as determined by the Servicer), in each case plus accrued and unpaid Interest Payment Amounts on each Class of Notes at the applicable Note Rate (the "Redemption Price"). If the determination of the fair market value of the Contracts shall be required to be made by the Servicer as provided above, (A) such appraisal shall be obtained at no 16 expense to the Indenture Trustee and (B) the Indenture Trustee may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, such appraisal. (b) In order to exercise the foregoing option, the Servicer shall provide written notice of its exercise of such option to the Indenture Trustee and the Owner Trustee at least 30 days prior to its exercise. In addition, the Servicer shall, not less than one Business Day prior to the proposed Payment Date on which such redemption is to be made, deposit the Redemption Price specified in (a) above with the Indenture Trustee. ARTICLE IV SERVICING CERTIFICATE Section 4.01. Electronic Files. (a) No later than 1:00 p.m. on the fourth Business Day prior to each Payment Date, the Servicer shall deliver to the Indenture Trustee and the Backup Servicer, with a copy to Citigroup Global Markets Inc. as underwriter of the Notes, the Electronic File referred to in Section 3.04(c). (b) With the delivery of each Electronic File pursuant to Section 4.01 (a), the Servicer shall be deemed to certify as to the accuracy of the Electronic File and that no Servicer Event of Default or event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become an Servicer Event of Default has occurred, or if such event has occurred and is continuing, specifying the event and its status. Section 4.02. Exchange Act Reporting. (a) The Indenture Trustee and the Servicer shall reasonably cooperate with the Issuer and the Administrator in connection with the Trust's satisfying the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). (b) Reserved. (c) The Indenture Trustee shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-2) for the benefit of the Administrator and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification (provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee shall not undertake an analysis of the accountant's report attached as an exhibit to the Form 10-K). The Indenture Trustee's certification shall be delivered to the Administrator by no later than March 20th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). (d) The Servicer shall sign a certification (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C-3) for the benefit of the Administrator and its officers, directors and Affiliates regarding certain aspects of the Certification relating to Electronic Files delivered by the Servicer pursuant to this Agreement. The Servicer's certification shall be delivered to the Administrator by no later than March 20th of each year (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately preceding Business Day). 17 In addition, the Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator, the Depositor, the Indenture Trustee and their respective officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of such Servicer's obligations under this Section 4.02(d) or such Servicer's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. The Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Servicer and its officers, directors and Affiliates from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments and other costs and expenses arising out of or based upon a breach of the Administrator's obligations under this Section 4.02 or the Administrator's negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith. If the indemnification provided for herein is unavailable or insufficient to hold harmless the Administrator or the Servicer, as applicable, then the other party, in connection with a breach of its respective obligations under this Section 4.02 with respect to the Administrator or Section 4.02(d) with respect to the Servicer or its respective negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct in connection therewith, agrees that it shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the other party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities of the other party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault and the relative benefit of the Administrator on the one hand and the Servicer on the other. (e) To the extent that, following the Closing Date, the Administrator certifies to the Indenture Trustee and the Servicer that reports and certifications differing from those required under this Section 4.02 comply with the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act, each of the Servicer and the Indenture Trustee hereby agrees that it will reasonably cooperate to amend the provisions of this Section 4.02 (in accordance with Section 7.01) in order to comply with such amended reporting requirements and such amendment of this Section 4.02. Any such amendment may result in the reduction of the reports filed by the Administrator under the Exchange Act. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither the Indenture Trustee nor the Servicer shall be obligated to enter into any amendment pursuant to this Section that adversely affects its rights, protections, obligations and immunities under this Servicing Agreement. ARTICLE V THE SERVICER AND THE BACKUP SERVICER Section 5.01. Liability of the Servicer and the Backup Servicer. The Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken by the Servicer or the Subservicer herein. The Backup Servicer shall be liable in accordance herewith only to the extent of the obligations specifically imposed upon and undertaken herein by the Backup Servicer. Section 5.02. Merger or Consolidation of or Assumption of the Obligations of the Servicer and the Backup Servicer. Any Person into which the Servicer or the Backup Servicer maybe merged or consolidated, or any Person resulting from any merger, conversion or consolidation to which the Servicer or the Backup Servicer shall be a party, or any Person succeeding to the business of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, shall be the successor of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as the case may be, 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 18 contrary notwithstanding; provided, however, that the successor Servicer shall satisfy all the requirements of an Eligible Servicer. Section 5.03. Limitation on Liability of the Servicer and Others. Neither the Servicer, the Backup Servicer nor any of the directors or officers or employees or agents of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer shall be under any liability to the Trust, the Indenture Trustee, the Noteholders or the Certificateholders for any action taken or for refraining from the taking of any action by the Servicer or the Backup Servicer in good faith pursuant to this Agreement, or for errors in judgment; provided, however, that this provision shall not protect the Servicer or the Backup Servicer or any such Person against any liability which would otherwise be imposed by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer hereunder. The Servicer, the Backup Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer may rely in good faith on any document of any kind prima facie properly executed and submitted by any Person respecting any matters arising hereunder. The Servicer, the Backup Servicer and any director or officer or employee or agent of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer shall be indemnified by the Trust and held harmless against any loss, liability or expense incurred in connection with any legal action relating to this Agreement, the Notes or the Certificates, other than any loss, liability or expense related to any specific Contract or Contracts (except as any such loss, liability or expense shall be otherwise reimbursable pursuant to this Agreement) and any loss, liability or expense incurred by reason of its willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of duties hereunder or by reason of its reckless disregard of obligations and duties hereunder; and such indemnity/hold harmless amounts as provided for in this sentence shall be payable only pursuant to Section 8.02 (xi) of the Indenture after payments to the Noteholders for the related Payment Date. The Servicer or the Backup Servicer may undertake any such action which it may deem necessary or desirable in respect of this Agreement, and the rights and duties of the parties hereto and the interests of the Noteholders or the Certificateholders hereunder. In such event, the reasonable legal expenses and costs of such action and any liability resulting therefrom shall be expenses, costs and liabilities of the Trust and the Servicer shall be entitled to be reimbursed therefor only after payments to the Notes for the related Payment Date. The Servicer's or the Backup Servicer's right to indemnity or reimbursement pursuant to this Section shall survive any resignation or termination of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer pursuant to Section 5.04 or 6.01 with respect to any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities arising prior to such resignation or termination (or arising from events that occurred prior to such resignation or termination). This paragraph shall apply to the Servicer or the Backup Servicer solely in its capacity as Servicer or the Backup Servicer hereunder and in no other capacities. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the parties hereto and the Noteholders and the Certificateholders acknowledge and agree that the Backup Servicer is not assuming and shall not be responsible or liable for any liabilities, obligations, losses, damages or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to (i) any act or omission of the initial Servicer or any prior servicer in its capacity as Servicer on or prior to the effective Service Transfer Date, (ii) any act or omission of the Indenture Trustee, the initial Servicer, the Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the Issuer or any other party to this Agreement prior to, on or following the Servicer Transfer Date, or (iii) any breach or default by the initial Servicer, the Originator, the Seller, the Depositor or the 19 Indenture Trustee of their respective duties, obligations, covenants, representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or in any related document or agreement, whether such breach or default occurs or occurred prior to, on or following the Service Transfer Date. The parties hereto and the Noteholders and the Certificateholders acknowledge that the Backup Servicer has agreed to be Backup Servicer for the limited purpose of servicing the Contracts, and that neither the Backup Servicer nor any of its Affiliates provides any guarantee or assurance whatsoever regarding the payment of the Notes or the Certificates in full, the timing of payment of the Notes or the Certificates or the enforceability or collectability of the Contracts. Section 5.04. Servicer and Backup Servicer Not to Resign. Subject to the provisions of Section 5.02, neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer shall resign from the obligations and duties hereby imposed on it except (i) upon determination that the performance of its obligations or duties hereunder are no longer permissible under applicable law or are in material conflict by reason of applicable law with any other activities carried on by it or its subsidiaries or Affiliates, the other activities of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer so causing such a conflict being of a type and nature carried on by the Servicer, the Backup Servicer or its subsidiaries or Affiliates at the date of this Agreement, or (ii) in the case of the Backup Servicer, upon a default in payment of the fees and other amounts due and payable to the Backup Servicer as provided in this Agreement, which default is not cured within 15 days following written notice thereof to the Indenture Trustee or (iii) upon satisfaction of the following conditions: (a) the Servicer or the Backup Servicer, as applicable, has proposed a successor servicer to the Indenture Trustee in writing and such proposed successor servicer is reasonably acceptable to the Indenture Trustee; and (b) each Rating Agency shall have delivered a letter to the Indenture Trustee prior to the appointment of the successor servicer stating that the proposed appointment of such successor servicer as Servicer or Backup Servicer, as applicable, hereunder will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of the then current rating of any Class of the Notes; provided, however, that no such resignation by the Servicer or the Backup Servicer under (i) or (iii) above shall become effective until such successor Servicer or Backup Servicer or, in the case of (i) above with respect to the Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall have assumed the Servicer's responsibilities and obligations hereunder in accordance with this Agreement or the Indenture Trustee shall have designated a successor servicer in accordance with Section 6.02. Any such resignation shall not relieve the Servicer or Backup Servicer of responsibility for any of the obligations specified in Sections 6.01 and 6.02 or this Article V as specified as obligations that survive the resignation or termination of the Servicer or the Backup Servicer. Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer or Backup Servicer pursuant to clause (i) above shall be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect delivered to the Indenture Trustee. Section 5.05. Delegation of Duties. Neither the Servicer nor the Backup Servicer may sell or assign its rights and duties as Servicer or Backup Servicer, as applicable, hereunder, except as expressly provided for herein, provided that the Servicer may pledge or assign the right to receive all or any portion of the Monthly Servicing Fee payable to it and/or reimbursements for Outstanding Amounts Advanced and (without duplication) Nonrecoverable Advances. Section 5.06. Rights of the Issuer in Respect of the Servicer. The Servicer shall afford (and any Sub-Servicing Agreement shall provide that each Sub-Servicer shall afford) the Issuer 20 and the Indenture Trustee, upon reasonable notice, during normal business hours, access to all records maintained by the Servicer (and any such Sub-Servicer) in respect of the Servicer's rights and obligations hereunder and access to officers of the Servicer (and those of any such Sub-Servicer) responsible for such obligations. The Issuer may, but is not obligated to, enforce the obligations of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement and may, but is not obligated to, perform, or cause a designee to perform, any defaulted obligation of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement or exercise the rights of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement; provided that the Servicer shall not be relieved of any of its obligations under this Servicing Agreement by virtue of such performance by the Issuer or its designee. The Issuer shall not have any responsibility or liability for any action or failure to act by the Servicer and is not obligated to supervise the performance of the Servicer under this Servicing Agreement or otherwise. Section 5.07. Indemnification. The Servicer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust, the Backup Servicer, the Owner Trustee and the Indenture Trustee and their officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of the Servicer's or the Subservicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its activities in servicing or administering the Contracts pursuant to this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement, reasonable fees of counsel of its selection and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim related to the Servicer's or the Subservicer's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence. Any such indemnification shall not be payable from the assets of the Trust.

(b) On or before the Closing Date the Servicer shall deposit into an account (the "Reserve Account") maintained with the Indenture Trustee an amount equal to $100,000.

Section 6.05. Effect of Transfer. (a) After the Service Transfer, the Backup Servicer or new Servicer shall notify Obligors to make payments directly to the new Servicer that are due under the Contracts after the effective date of the Service Transfer. (b) After the Service Transfer, the replaced Servicer shall have no further obligations with respect to the management, administration, servicing or collection of the Contracts except as provided herein and the Backup Servicer shall have all of such obligations except as provided herein and the replaced Servicer will transmit or cause to be transmitted directly to the Backup Servicer for its own account, promptly on receipt and in the same form in which received, any amounts (properly endorsed where required for the Backup Servicer to collect them) received as payments upon or otherwise in connection with the Contracts. In any event, the initial Servicer shall remain obligated to fulfill its indemnity and hold harmless obligations following a Service Transfer or termination of this Agreement. (c) A Service Transfer shall not affect the rights and duties of the parties hereunder (including but not limited to the indemnities of the Servicer pursuant to Section 5.07) other than those relating to the management, administration, servicing or collection of the Contracts following the effective Service Transfer. Upon and following a Servicer Transfer and commencement of servicing by the Backup Servicer, the initial Servicer shall have no further rights to the Monthly Servicing Fee, other than any accrued and unpaid Monthly Servicing Fee due to the initial Servicer as of such date and the Backup Servicer shall have no further rights to the Monthly Backup Servicing Fee, other than any accrued and unpaid Monthly Backup Servicing Fee due to the Backup Servicer as of such date. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that prior to a Servicer Transfer to the Backup Servicer, the Backup Servicer shall be paid the Monthly Backup Servicing Fee as provided in the Indenture. In addition, the Backup Servicer shall be paid an initial commitment fee of $25,000, which shall be paid directly by the Servicer within five (5) Business Days from the Closing Date and shall constitute an expense reimbursable to the Servicer pursuant to Section 8.02(a)(I)(xvi) of the Indenture.
