Notwithstanding the foregoing, if approved by Lender, any such Advance Request under the immediately preceding sentence may be made to Lender via an Electronic Advance Request, prior to 11:00 a.m. (Orlando, Florida time) on the Banking Day of such proposed Advance and, if required by Lender, followed by delivery to Lender via facsimile transmission, prior to 12:00 noon (Orlando, Florida time), or as may otherwise be permitted or specified in the Procedural Manual as then in effect, on the date of such proposed Advance, of a written confirmation of such Electronic Advance Request (a “Confirmation of Electronic Advance Request”) in the form of Exhibit B-2 (if Lender requires a Confirmation of Electronic Advance Request and there is any discrepancy between the schedule of Eligible Mortgage Loans electronically transmitted to Lender and the list of Eligible Mortgage Loans attached to the Confirmation of Electronic Advance Request, Lender shall be entitled to rely solely on the list attached to the Confirmation of Electronic Advance Request without further investigation or inquiry; otherwise, if Lender does not require a Confirmation of Electronic Advance Request, Lender shall be entitled to rely solely on the schedule of Mortgage Loans electronically transmitted to Lender). An Advance Request, among other things, shall specify the amount of the
3
Advance being requested; if applicable, the specific Eligible Mortgage Loans that support the Advance; and the Type of Advance. Each Advance Request shall be irrevocable. With regard to each Advance, Borrower shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Lender all of the Required Documents referenced in Section 4.3 and, if requested by Lender at any time, all of the Additional Required Documents referenced in said Section. Lender may change its procedures for Advances (including, without limitation, its procedures relating to Electronic Advance Requests) from time to time upon not less than three (3) Banking Days’ prior notice to Borrower. Advance Requests not received by Leader by the applicable cut-off time shall be deemed received on the next Banking Day.
(b) Without in any way limiting Borrower’s obligation to deliver to Lender the original written Advance Request as required by Section 2.2(a), Lender shall be entitled to rely on and may act without liability upon the basis of each Advance Request made by Borrower via electronic data transmission as permitted by Section 2.2(a) and Lender may make Advances pursuant thereto prior to receipt by Lender of the Confirmation of Electronic Advance Request. In each case, Borrower waives the right to dispute or hold Lender in any way responsible for any errors or omissions in any electronic Advance Request. If the Advance Request is made via electronic data transmission as permitted herein, Borrower, by transmitting such electronic Advance Request to Lender, shall be deemed to have made in respect thereto such affirmations, covenants, agreements and certifications to Lender with regard to the specific Eligible Mortgage Loans supporting the requested Advance as are set forth in the applicable form of Advance Request. If the Advance Request is made via electronic data transmission or facsimile transmission, if requested by Leader, Borrower shall deliver to Lender, no later than the Banking Day immediately succeeding the date of such electronic data transmission or facsimile transmission, as the case may be, the original Advance Request signed by an Authorized Representative in the form of Exhibit B-1 (unless, as set forth in Section 2.2(a) above, Lender has changed the form of Advance Request or has required a different form for Advances under Sublimit B).
4. Section 2.4 (Note) of the Agreement is hereby amended to delete the term “$55,000,000.00” therefrom and to substitute the term “$40,000,000.00” in lieu thereof.
5. Section 2.8 (Optional Prepayments) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 2.8 Optional Prepayments.
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay outstanding Advances, in whole upon not less than thirty (30) days prior written notice to Lender, or in part without prior notice; provided, however, unless otherwise agreed by Lender in its sole and absolute discretion (whether by a separate writing or on a case-by-case basis), including such other limits and conditions Lender may require, each partial prepayment must be in the entire amount outstanding of the Advance to which it relates. Unless Lender has otherwise agreed as aforesaid, Borrower shall, at the time of making such prepayment, designate the Type of Advances being prepaid. If Borrower fails to make such a designation when required, each partial prepayment shall be applied to the reduction of the Line of Credit (or any Advance outstanding thereunder) as Lender, in its sole discretion, may determine. All prepayments of Advances under this Section 2.8 shall be without premium or penalty. Interest shall be payable in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.5.
6. Section 2.9 (Fees) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows;
Section 2.9 Fees.
(a) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a collateral agent fee (the “Collateral Agent Fee”) in the amount of $10.00 per Mortgage Loan for each Mortgage Loan warehoused by Borrower with Lender, payable monthly in arrears upon receipt by Borrower of a statement from Lender for such Collateral Agent Fee based upon the prior month’s activity and on the dates separately agreed to by
4
Lender and Borrower. Mortgage Loans that initially are funded under Sublimit B are not charged twice when subsequently funded under Sublimit A or Sublimit E.
(b) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a non-usage fee (the “Non-Usage Fee”) at a rate per annum equal to 25 basis points on the difference between actual average usage of the Line of Credit for the applicable calendar quarter and fifty percent (50%) of the Commitment if the average daily amount outstanding thereunder for such calendar quarter does not exceed fifty percent (50%) of the maximum amount of said Commitment. Such Non-Usage Fee, if any, shall be payable quarterly in arrears upon Borrower’s receipt of Lender’s statement therefor, and on the Maturity Date.
(c) Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an endorsement fee (the “Endorsement Fee”) in the amount of $10.00 for each Mortgage Loan that Lender endorses on behalf of Borrower pursuant to Section 4.9 below because such Mortgage Loan is missing Borrower’s endorsement when it is submitted to Lender, payable monthly in arrears upon receipt by Borrower of a statement from Lender for such Endorsement Fee based upon the prior month’s activity and on the dates separately agreed to by Lender and Borrower.
(d) In addition to the foregoing fees, Borrower shall pay or reimburse Lender for any transaction fees payable to the Mortgage Electronic Registration System, Inc. (“MERS”) in connection with the registration of mortgage assignments to Lender if Borrower uses MERS and further, and shall pay or reimburse Lender for all pass-through costs in connection with the warehouse of Mortgage Loans under Sublimit D (recording costs, etc.) and the use of any electronic data transmission system or service allocable to Borrower if Borrower downloads or submits data to Lender using electronic data transmission.
(e) The Fees set forth in this Section 2,9, once paid, shall not be refundable under any circumstances. To the extent any of the Fees set forth in this Section 2.9 have not been paid in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 2.9 prior to the Maturity Date, they shall be payable in full on the Maturity Date.
7. Section 6.3 (Special Financial Covenants) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 6.3 Special Financial Covenants.
