(c) Section 2.2 (d) of the Warehouse Agreement is deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:

The Swing Line Lender may elect, in its sole discretion, to fund such Advance Request as a Swing Line Advance. If the Swing Line Lender elects not to fund such Advance Request as a Swing Line Advance, the Agent shall promptly, and in any case not later than 1:00 p.m. on the date an Advance is to be made, notify each Lender of its receipt of an Advance Request, the matters specified therein, and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of the requested Advance. If all conditions precedent to such Advance have been met, each Lender shall remit its Commitment Percentage of any Advance requested in an Advance Request to Agent’s principal office in Houston, Texas, by wire
2
transfer according to Agent’s wire instructions, in funds that are available for immediate use by Agent by 4:00 p.m. on the date such Advance is to be made.”

Any such payment made after 2:00 p.m. (Houston, Texas time) shall be deemed to be received on the next Business Day and, if applicable, interest thereon shall continue to accrue until such next Business Day. No Lender directly invoices Company for - and only Agent invoices Company for – interest under the Loan Documents.
(b) Distributions. When received under Section 2.7(a) above, Agent shall distribute each payment to each Lender ratably in accordance with its Commitment Percentage or Swing Line Lender, as applicable, reasonably promptly after receipt but by no later than 4:00 p.m. on the Business Day the payment is deemed to be received by Agent under Section 2.7(a) above. If Agent fails to distribute any payment to any Lender or the Swing Line Lender as required by this Section 2.7(b), then Agent shall pay to that Lender or the Swing Line Lender, as applicable, on demand interest on that payment, from the date due under this clause until paid, at any annual interest rate equal from day to day to the Federal Funds Rate.”
(e) The following Section 2.13 Swing Line. is hereby added to the end of Article 2 of the Warehouse Agreement for all purposes:
“2.13 Swing Line. On the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, the Swing Line Lender agrees, from time to time during the period from the date hereof to but not including the Termination Date, to fund revolving credit Swing Line Advances to the Company in principal amounts which do not on any day exceed in the aggregate when combined with all other Swing Line Advances outstanding on that day the Swing Line Limit for the purpose of initially funding requested Advances under the Commitment. A Swing Line Advance shall bear interest, from the date of such Swing Line Advance until paid in full, at the interest rates applicable to an Advance if such Swing Line Advance had been initially funded by the Lenders as an Advance under the Commitment. Interest on such Swing Line Advances shall be due and payable to the Swing Line Lender on the same dates and in the same manner as interest on Advances is due and payable under Section 2.4 of this Agreement. Swing Line Advances shall be evidenced by the Swing Line Note. Each Lender absolutely and unconditionally agrees to fund such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of each Swing Line Advance, regardless of any Default or Event of Default or other condition which would otherwise excuse such Lender from funding its Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line
3
Advance, provided that (A) no Lender shall be required to make Advances to repay Swing Line Advances which would cause such Lender’s portion of all Advances then outstanding to exceed such Lender’s Commitment Amount, in each case at the time the Lender funds its Commitment Percentage of such Swing Line Advances; and (B) a Lender shall not be obligated to make Advances to repay Swing Line Advances unless the Swing Line Lender believed in good faith that all conditions to making the subject Swing Line Advance were satisfied at the time such Swing Line Advance was made. Upon an Event of Default and the acceleration of the Obligations, each Lender (including Wamu) shall fund such Lender’s Commitment Percentage of all outstanding Swing Line Advances. Agent shall notify each Lender no later than 11:00 a.m. of the Swing Line Advance Due Date of an Advance Request funded by a Swing Line Advance and of such Lender’s Commitment Percentage in the Advance to refinance such Swing Line Advance. Each Lender’s Commitment Percentage of Swing Line Advance shall be remitted to the Agent on behalf of Swing Line Lender in immediately available funds by wire transfer according to Agent’s wire instructions by 4:00 p.m. on (i) the date of Agent’s notice to refinance such Swing Line Advance, if such notice is made prior to 11:00 a.m. on such date or (ii) otherwise, the first Business Day following such notice. Agent shall promptly apply such Lender’s Advances to the Swing Line Advances outstanding and remit the same promptly to the Swing Line Lender. Upon any such delivery and application, the amount so refunded shall cease to be a Swing Line Advance, and shall become an Advance made by the applicable Lender to the Company. If a Lender fails to make its Commitment Percentage of that Swing Line Advance available to Agent on its due date (whether because of that Lender’s default, because that Lender is not open for business on that Business Day, or otherwise) then Agent may recover that amount on demand (i) from that Lender, together with interest at the Federal Funds Rate, during the period from the due date to the date Agent recovers that amount from that Lender - which payment is deemed to be that Lender’s Commitment Percentage of that Advance or (ii) if that Lender fails to pay that amount upon demand, then from Company together with interest at an annual interest rate equal to the rate applicable to the requested Advance during the period from the due date to the date Agent recovers that amount from Company.
(f) Section 7.6 Adjusted Tangible Net Worth of the Warehouse Agreement is deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
“7.6 Adjusted Tangible Net Worth Permit the sum of the Adjusted Tangible Net Worth of Company (and its Subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis) to be less than an amount equal to the sum of THREE MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($3,600,000.00) plus fifty percent of the Company’s net income for each calendar month on a cumulative basis (in no event shall the foregoing amount be reduced by any net loss of the Company realized at any time), computed as of the end of each calendar month.
(g) Section 8.3 Application of Proceeds. of the Warehouse Agreement is deleted in its entirety, and the following is substituted in lieu thereof:
4
“8.3 Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement of the security interest in all or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Agent as follows:
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to the Agent’s agents and counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of the Agent in connection therewith;
Second, to the payment of all amounts due and payable on the Swing Line Note;
Third, to the payment of all amounts due (other than principal and interest) under the Notes or this Agreement - payable ratably to Lenders in the proportion that each Lender’s share of those amounts bears to the total of those amounts for all Lenders;
Fourth, to the payment of interest accrued and unpaid on the Notes - payable ratably to each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage;
Fifth, to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of the Notes - payable ratably to each Lender in accordance with its Commitment Percentage;
Sixth, to the payment of all other Obligations - payable ratably to Lenders in the proportion that each Lender’s share of those amounts bears to the total of those amounts for all Lenders; and
Finally, to the payment to the Company, or to its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
If the proceeds of any such sale, disposition or other enforcement are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of such sale, as aforesaid, and the payment in full of all Obligations of the Company, the Company shall remain liable for any deficiency.
(h) Exhibit “R” to this Amendment is added as Exhibit “R” to the Warehouse Agreement.

June 29, 2003 |
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, SIRVA MORTGAGE, INC. an Ohio corporation f/k/a COOPERATIVE MORTGAGE SERVICES, INC. (herein called the “Borrower”), hereby promises to pay to the order of WASHINGTON MUTUAL BANK, FA, a federal association (the “Lender” or, together with its successors and assigns, the “Holder”) whose principal place of business is 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, or at such other place as the Holder may designate from time to time, the principal sum of TEN MILLION AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($10,000,000.00) or so much thereof as may be outstanding from time to time pursuant to the Third Amended and Restated Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement (the “Agreement’) dated September 30, 2002 among the Borrower and Washington Mutual Bank, FA, in its capacity as one of the lenders and as Agent for the lenders party thereto (including the Lender), as the same may be amended, supplemented, or restated from time to time, and to pay interest on said principal sum or such part thereof as shall remain unpaid from time to time, from the date of each Advance until repaid in full, and all other fees and charges due under the Agreement, at the rate and at the times set forth in the Agreement. All payments hereunder shall be made in lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds. Capitalized terms used herein, unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the Agreement.
This Note is issued and delivered under the Agreement and is the Swing Line Note as defined therein and is entitled to the benefits thereof. Reference is hereby made to the Agreement (which is incorporated herein by reference as fully and with the same effect as if set forth herein at length) for a description of the Collateral, a statement of the covenants and agreements, a statement of the rights and remedies and securities afforded thereby and other matters contained therein.
The entire unpaid principal balance of this Note plus all accrued and unpaid interest shall be due and payable in full on the Termination Date.
This Note may be prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty.
Should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection, the Borrower agrees to pay, in addition to principal and interest, fees and charges due under the Agreement, and all costs of collecting this Note, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses.
This Note shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Texas, without reference to its principles of conflicts of law, and applicable federal laws of the United States of America.
This Note is secured by all security agreements, collateral assignments, deeds of trust and lien instruments executed by the Borrower in favor of the Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, or executed by any other Person as security for this Note, including any executed prior to, simultaneously with, or after the date of this Note.
The Borrower and any and each co-maker, guarantor, accommodation party, endorser or other Person liable for the payment or collection of this Note expressly waive notice, presentment, demand for payment, protest, notice of protest and non-payment or dishonor, notice of acceleration, notice of intent to accelerate, notice of intent to demand, bringing of suit, and diligence in taking any action to collect amounts called for hereunder and in the handling of Collateral at any time existing as security in connection herewith, and shall be directly and primarily liable for the payment of all sums owing and to be owing hereon, regardless of and without any notice, diligence, act or omission as or with respect to the collection of any amount called for hereunder or in connection with any Lien at any time had or existing as security for any amount called for hereunder.
It is the intention of the parties hereto to conform strictly to usury laws applicable to the Lender. Accordingly, if the transactions contemplated hereby would be usurious under applicable law (including the laws of the United States of America and the State of Texas), then, in that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in the Agreement or in any other Loan Document or agreement entered into in connection with or as
security for this Note, it is agreed as follows: (i) the aggregate of all consideration which constitutes interest under law applicable to the Lender that is contracted for, taken, reserved, charged, or received herein or under the Agreement or under any of the other aforesaid Loan Documents or agreements or otherwise in connection herewith shall under no circumstances exceed the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and any excess shall be credited by the Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, if the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by the Lender to the Borrower, as required); and (ii) in the event that the maturity of this Note is accelerated by reason of an election of the Lender resulting from any Event of Default under the Agreement or otherwise, or in the event of any required or permitted prepayment, then such consideration that constitutes interest under law applicable to the Lender may never include more than the maximum amount allowed by such applicable law, and excess interest, if any, provided for in the Agreement or otherwise shall be canceled automatically as of the date of such acceleration or prepayment and, if theretofore paid, shall be credited by the Lender on the principal amount of the Obligations (or, if the principal amount of the Obligations shall have been paid in full, refunded by the Lender to the Borrower, as required). Without limiting the foregoing, all calculations of the rate of interest taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, received or provided for under this Note or any of the Loan Documents which are made for the purpose of determining whether the interest rate exceeds the Maximum Rate shall be made, to the extent allowed by law, by amortizing, prorating, allocating and spreading in equal parts during the period of the full stated term of the loan evidenced hereby, all interest at any time taken, reserved, contracted for, charged, received, or provided for under this Note of any of the Loan Documents. To the extent that Section 303 of the Texas Finance Code is relevant for purposes of determining the Maximum Rate, the Lender hereby elects to determine the applicable rate ceiling under such statute by the weekly rate ceiling from time to time in effect, subject to the Lender’s right subsequently to change such method in accordance with applicable law.
