such notice being an "Extension Request") given not later than 90 days and not
sooner than 120 days prior to each Annual Extension Date, request an extension
of the then applicable Annual Extension Date. If the Lenders, the Managing
Agents, and the Administrative Agent consent, in their sole discretion, to such
Extension Request, then (x) the Drawdown Termination Date shall not occur as of
the then applicable Annual Extension Date and (y) the Annual Extension Date
shall be extended as described in the definition of "Annual Extension Date." Any
such extension may be accompanied by such additional fees as the parties shall
mutually agree. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, the Drawdown
Termination Date shall occur automatically, without further action on the part
of the Lenders, the Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent, on the then
current Annual Extension Date unless an Extension Request has been granted
pursuant to this paragraph. If the Lenders in the Bank One Group decline to
consent to an extension requested pursuant to this Section 2.1, but the Lenders
in the CL New York Group nevertheless desire to consent to the extension or
confirmation, then the extension shall be granted, and at the option of the
Managing Agent of the CL New York Group, either (a) the Maximum Facility
32
Amount shall be reduced by the Bank Commitments of the Banks in the Bank One
Group on the anniversary date immediately following the Extension Request or (b)
the Managing Agent of the CL New York Group shall find a replacement for the
Bank One Group. If the Lenders in the CL New York Group decline to consent to
the extension, but the Lenders in the Bank One Group nevertheless desire to
consent to the extension, then the extension shall be granted, and CL New York
shall cease to be the Administrative Agent and Bank One shall become the
Administrative Agent hereunder, and, at the option of the Managing Agent of the
Bank One Group, either (a) the Maximum Facility Amount shall be reduced by the
Bank Commitments of the Banks in the CL New York Group on the anniversary date
immediately following the Extension Request or (b) the Managing Agent of the
Bank One Group shall find a replacement for the CL New York Group. To the extent
that a Group Bank declines to extend the Drawdown Termination Date, the
Obligations of such Group Bank will be repaid pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(iii)
hereof.
(c) The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) days
prior irrevocable notice to the Managing Agents and the Administrative Agent,
but no more than once every three months, reduce the Maximum Facility Amount;
provided, however, that each partial reduction shall be in the aggregate amount
of $10,000,000 or integral multiples of $1,000,000 in excess thereof; provided
further, however that no such reduction shall reduce the Maximum Facility Amount
below the greater of (i) the total Principal Debt owed to the Lenders (other
than the Seasonal Lenders) and (ii) $75,000,000. Any partial reduction in the
Maximum Facility Amount will reduce the Bank Commitment of each Bank Group
ratably.
(d) The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) days'
prior irrevocable notice to the Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents,
terminate the Maximum Facility Amount in its entirety upon payment in full of
all Obligations.
2.2. Promissory Notes.
The Advances made by each of the Lenders related to each Group
pursuant to this Article II shall be evidenced by separate Notes each
substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E-1 (in the case of Lenders in
the CL New York Group) or Exhibit E-2 (in the case of Lenders in the Bank One
Group) hereto, each in the maximum principal amount of such Group's related
Issuer Facility Amount or substantially in the form set forth in Exhibit E-3 (in
the case of the Seasonal Lenders) hereto, in the Seasonal Facility Amount. Each
Managing Agent on behalf of the Lenders in its Group shall record in its records
the date and amount of each Advance to the Borrower and each repayment thereof.
The information so recorded shall be rebuttable presumptive evidence of the
accuracy thereof. The failure to so record, in the absence of manifest error,
any such information or any error in so recording any such information shall
not, however, limit or otherwise affect the obligations of the Borrower
hereunder or under the Notes to pay the principal of all Advances, together with
interest accruing thereon.
2.3. Notice and Manner of Obtaining Borrowings.
(a) Borrowings.
(i) The Borrower shall give the Administrative
Agent and each Managing Agent notice of each request for a Borrowing
(including a Seasonal
33
Borrowing), pursuant to a Borrowing Request, and in accordance with the
provisions of Section 4.2 hereof. On the Borrowing Date specified in
the Borrowing Request and subject to all other terms and conditions of
this Restated Loan Agreement, each Issuer may, in its sole discretion,
make available to its Managing Agent at the office of its Managing
Agent set forth in Section 13.1, in immediately available funds, its
pro rata share of the Borrowing. On the Borrowing Date specified in the
Borrowing Request and subject to all other terms and conditions of this
Restated Loan Agreement, with respect to each requested Seasonal
Borrowing, the Seasonal Issuer may, in its sole discretion, make
available to its Managing Agent at the office of its Managing Agent set
forth in Section 13.1, in immediately available funds, its pro rata
share of the Borrowing.
(ii) In the event that an Issuer shall elect not
to fund an Advance (including a Seasonal Borrowing) requested by the
Borrower, each Group Bank of such Issuer agrees that it shall, on the
Borrowing Date specified in the Borrowing Request and subject to all
other terms and conditions of this Restated Loan Agreement, make
available to its Managing Agent at the office of its Managing Agent set
forth in Section 13.1, in immediately available funds, an amount equal
to the product of (x) such Bank's Bank Commitment Percentage or
Seasonal Bank's Bank Commitment Percentage of the Group Bank Commitment
Percentage, multiplied by (y) the portion of such Borrowing that such
Issuer or Seasonal Issuer has elected not to fund.
(iii) After each Managing Agent's receipt of funds
pursuant to the preceding paragraph (i) or (ii) and upon fulfillment of
the applicable conditions set forth in Article IV, each Managing Agent
will make such funds available to the Borrower a like amount of
immediately available funds. So long as the Borrower is otherwise
entitled to make a specific Borrowing, Borrowing Requests that are
received by each Managing Agent by 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) on a
Business Day will be funded on the next Business Day following receipt
of the Borrowing Request.
(iv) Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Bank or
Seasonal Bank shall not be obligated to make Advances under this
Section 2.3 at any time to the extent that the principal amount of all
Advances made by such Bank or Seasonal Bank would exceed such Bank's
Bank Commitment or Seasonal Bank's Seasonal Bank Commitment less the
outstanding and unpaid principal amount of any loans or purchases made
by such Bank or Seasonal Bank under a Liquidity Agreement. Each Bank's
or Seasonal Bank's obligation shall be several, such that the failure
of any Bank or Seasonal Bank to make available to the Borrower any
funds in connection with any Borrowing shall not relieve any other
Group Bank of its obligation, if any, hereunder to make funds available
on the date of such Borrowing, but no Group Bank shall be responsible
for the failure of any other Group Bank to make funds available in
connection with any Borrowing.
(b) Type of Loan.
(i) Each Advance by an Issuer shall initially be
funded by the issuance of Commercial Paper Notes by such Issuer.
34
(ii) Each Advance by a Bank shall be either a
Base Rate Advance or a Eurodollar Advance, as determined pursuant to
Section 2.15(b).
(c) Special Borrowings. The Borrower may from time to
time request that certain Borrowings be funded prior to the delivery to the
Collateral Agent of the corresponding Principal Mortgage Documents
(individually, a "Special Borrowing"; collectively, "Special Borrowings").
Advances in respect of Special Borrowings shall be made in accordance with
Section 2.3(a), subject to the terms and conditions of this Restated Loan
Agreement, including, without limitation, the following additional terms and
conditions:
(i) Pursuant to an Assignment, the Borrower
shall grant to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders
of the Obligations, from the Borrowing Date of each Special Borrowing,
a perfected, first-priority security interest in the Mortgage Loans
identified in Schedule II to said Assignment (such Mortgage Loans being
sometimes called "Special Mortgage Loans";
(ii) The Assignment in connection with the
Borrowing Request delivered by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent
and the Collateral Agent, pursuant to which the Borrower requests a
Special Borrowing, shall describe the Mortgage Note or Mortgage Notes
to be delivered to the Collateral Agent in connection therewith by the
loan number assigned by the Originator, original principal amount, the
amount funded (minus discount points paid to the Originator) by the
Originator, Obligor's name and interest rate;
(iii) Within nine (9) Business Days after the date
that each Assignment is delivered (and inclusion of the related Special
Mortgage Loan within the computation of Collateral Value as reported on
the Collateral Agent Daily Report), to Collateral Agent, the Borrower
shall deliver to the Collateral Agent the Principal Mortgage Documents
pertaining to any Special Mortgage Loan identified on Schedule II of
such Assignment; and
(iv) The Borrower shall not request any Special
Borrowing, and no Special Borrowing shall be made, in respect of any
Mortgage Loan that is closed with an escrow agent other than the
relevant title insurance company, unless at the time of such request,
the Borrower is entitled to the benefit of Closing Protection Rights
with provisions substantially similar to one of the prescribed sets of
rights set forth in Exhibit N to this Restated Loan Agreement or as
otherwise reasonably required by the Administrative Agent (it being
understood that pursuant to the Restated Security Agreement, the
Administrative Agent has a security interest in all Closing Protection
Rights).
Each request by the Borrower for a Special Borrowing shall be automatically
deemed to constitute a representation and warranty by the Borrower to the effect
that immediately before and after giving effect to such Borrowing, the terms and
conditions specified in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv) and specified in
Section 4.2 are and shall be satisfied in full as of the related Borrowing Date.
35
(d) Failure to Deliver Principal Mortgage Documents. The
failure to deliver Principal Mortgage Documents by the ninth Business Day, as
required by subparagraph ((iii)) of Section 2.3(c) and elsewhere in this
Restated Loan Agreement, shall not be treated as a Default or an Event of
Default so long as each Managing Agent is satisfied that each such failure, when
considered in the light of past and other contemporaneous failures, does not
have a Material Adverse Effect; however, (i) if any such Principal Mortgage
Documents related to such Special Mortgage Loans are not so delivered on a
timely basis, the Borrower shall make a mandatory prepayment or deliver
additional Mortgage Assets so that after giving effect thereto, the Collateral
Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral (excluding such Special Mortgage Loans)
shall equal or exceed the Principal Debt, and (ii) the Special Mortgage Loan
shall not be an Eligible Mortgage Loan and shall have a Collateral Value of zero
until such Principal Mortgage Documents shall have been delivered to the
Collateral Agent in connection with a subsequent Borrowing.
The Borrower diligently shall pursue delivery to the
Collateral Agent of all Principal Mortgage Documents pertaining to any Special
Borrowings.
2.4. Fees.
(a) The Borrower shall pay to the Administrative Agent
and each Managing Agent (for itself and the Lenders for which it acts) the fees
set forth in the related Fee Letters, such fees to be payable pursuant to
Section 2.7(c).
(b) The Borrower shall pay to the Servicer a fee (the
"Servicer Fee") of 0.25% per annum on the aggregate outstanding principal
balance of the Eligible Mortgage Loans from the date hereof until the Principal
Debt is paid in full, payable monthly in arrears on each Settlement Date. The
Servicer Fee shall be payable only from Collections pursuant to, and subject to
the priority of payments set forth in, Section 2.7(c).
2.5. Prepayments.
(a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may, at any time
and from time to time with five (5) Business Days' notice to the Administrative
Agent and the Managing Agent, prepay the Advances in whole or in part, in the
aggregate amount of $1,000,000 or integral multiples of $100,000 in excess
thereof, without premium or penalty; provided, that the Borrower may not prepay
any Advance bearing interest at the Commercial Paper Rate on any day other than
the last day of the Interest Period with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any prepayment made hereunder shall be accompanied by accrued
interest on the principal amount being prepaid. After giving notice that a
prepayment will be made, the Borrower shall be liable to each Affected Party for
any Consequential Loss resulting from such prepayment or the failure to make a
prepayment designated in any such notice.
(b) Mandatory Prepayments. The Borrower shall immediately
make a mandatory prepayment on the Principal Debt owed to the Lenders if at any
time, and to the extent that, (i) the Principal Debt owed to the Lenders other
than the Seasonal Lenders exceeds the Maximum Facility Amount, (ii) the
Principal Debt owed to the Seasonal Lenders exceeds the Seasonal Facility Amount
or (iii) the Principal Debt exceeds the total Collateral Value of all
36
Eligible Mortgage Collateral. The Borrower shall be liable for any Consequential
Loss resulting from any such prepayment.
2.6. Business Days.
If the date for any payment under this Restated Loan Agreement
falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then for all purposes of the Notes
and this Restated Loan Agreement the same shall be deemed to have fallen on
either (a) the next following Business Day, and such extension of time shall in
such case be included in the computation of payments of interest and fees or (b)
if the next following Business Day is in another calendar month and payment is
being made with respect to a Eurodollar Advance, then on the immediately
previous Business Day.
2.7. Payment Procedures.
(a) In General. Subject to the provisions of this Section
2.7, all payments on the Principal Debt and interest and fees under the Notes
and this Restated Loan Agreement shall be made by the Borrower (or the
Collateral Agent or the Servicer on behalf of the Borrower) to the related
Managing Agent for the account of the Lenders represented by such Managing
Agent. All such payments shall be made before 4:00 p.m. (eastern time) on the
respective due dates in federal or other funds immediately available by that
time of day and at each Managing Agent's Account. Funds received after 4:00 p.m.
(eastern time) shall be treated for all purposes as having been received by a
Managing Agent on the Business Day next following the date of receipt of such
funds from the Borrower. All payments made by the Borrower under this Restated
Loan Agreement and the Notes shall be without setoff, deduction or counterclaim
and the Borrower agrees to pay on demand any present or future stamp or
documentary taxes or any other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges or fees
which arise from payment made hereunder or under the Notes or from the execution
or delivery or otherwise with respect to this Restated Loan Agreement or the
Notes.
(b) The Borrower shall establish and maintain an account
(the "Collection Account") with the Collection Account Bank, which account shall
be titled "Pulte Funding, Inc." The Collection Account shall be a fully
segregated trust account, unless the Collection Account Bank shall be an
Eligible Institution having short-term debt ratings from S&P, Xxxxx'x and Fitch
no lower than A-1/P-1/F1, in which case the account need not be a trust account.
The Collection Account shall be under the control of the Administrative Agent
pursuant to the Restated Assignment of Account, and the Borrower shall have no
right, title or interest in, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the
Collection Account. The Servicer shall have no right to access the Collection
Account except as otherwise contemplated in Section 2.7(c).
(c) Collections.
(i) The Servicer shall administer Collections in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.7.
(ii) The Servicer shall hold, on behalf of the
Lenders and the Administrative Agent, from Collections received by it
with respect to any Mortgage Asset, amounts necessary to make payments
on the following Settlement Date (or end of the related Interest
Period) pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(iii) or (iv). Such amounts shall be
37
deposited into the Collection Account no later than such Settlement
Date or at the end of such Interest Period, or, on or after the
Drawdown Termination Date or upon the occurrence and during the
continuation of an Event of Default, within one Business Day after
receipt by the Servicer.
(iii) Prior to the Drawdown Termination Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw funds from the Collection Account (to the
extent of collected funds therein) and shall make payments from the
Collection Account at the following times and in the following order of
priority:
(A) To the extent not previously paid,
on each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall deposit
an amount equal to the costs, fees and expenses then
due and payable to the Collateral Agent to an account
designated by the Collateral Agent.
(B) On the last day of each Interest
Period for any Advance that bears interest at the
Commercial Paper Rate or any Eurodollar Advance, the
Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to accrued
interest on such Advance, which amount shall be paid
to the applicable Managing Agent's Account for the
related Lenders. On each Settlement Date, the
Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to accrued
interest on each Advance that bears interest at the
Alternate Base Rate to the applicable Managing
Agent's Account.
(C) To the extent not previously paid,
on each Settlement Date, an amount equal to the fees,
costs and expenses then due and payable, on a pro
rata basis, to (i) Bank One, as a Managing Agent
under the Managing Agent Fee Letter shall be paid to
Bank One's Managing Agent's Account and (ii) to the
Administrative Agent and CL New York, as a Managing
Agent, under the Restated Agent Fee Letter to the CL
New York's Managing Agent's Account.
(D) On each Settlement Date on which
the Required Reserve Account Amount exceeds the
amount then on deposit in the Reserve Account, the
Servicer shall deposit an amount equal to such excess
to the Reserve Account.
(E) On each Settlement Date, if the
Seasonal Drawdown Termination Date shall have
occurred and be continuing, an amount equal to the
unpaid Principal Debt payable to the Seasonal Lenders
shall be paid to the Managing Agent's Account related
to the Seasonal Lenders until the Principal Debt
owing to the Seasonal Lenders is reduced to zero;
provided that, if the application of such amounts to
the reduction of the Principal Debt owed to the
Seasonal Lenders would cause a Default or an Event of
Default to occur or there would otherwise be a
Default or Event of Default in existence, then,
instead of such application, Collections shall be
paid to each Managing Agent's Account pro rata in
proportion to the outstanding
38
Principal Debt (including Seasonal Advances) owing to
the Lenders in each Group.
(F) On each Settlement Date, if the
Group Banks in any Group have not consented to an
extension of the Drawdown Termination Date, but the
Group Banks in the other Group have so consented and
such non-extending Lenders have not assigned their
respective Advances and Bank Commitments to one or
more other Lenders in accordance with Section 2.1(b)
and Section 13.9, the Servicer shall deposit an
amount equal to the unpaid balance of all Primary
Obligations owing to the non-extending Lenders to the
related Managing Agent's Account.

on each Settlement Date, the Servicer shall deposit
any amounts, other than those listed in clauses (A),
(B) and (C) above and other than principal on the
Advances, that are then due and payable and of which
the Servicer has received prior written notice,
including without limitation additional costs under
Section 2.16, any additional interest under Section
2.17, Consequential Losses under Section 2.18,
indemnities under Section 10.1 and costs, expenses
and taxes under Section 13.19, to the applicable
Managing Agent's Account.
(H) On each Settlement Date, the
Servicer shall withdraw from the Collection Account
for its own account an amount equal to accrued
Servicing Fee then due and payable.

(A) On each Settlement Date, if the
Servicer is not the Originator or an Affiliate of the
Originator, an amount equal to accrued Servicing Fee
then due and payable shall be paid to the Servicer.

on each Settlement Date, an amount equal to the
costs, fees and expenses then due and payable to the
Collateral Agent shall be paid to an account
designated by the Collateral Agent.
(C) On the last day of each Interest
Period for any Advance that bears interest at the
Commercial Paper Rate or for any Eurodollar Advance,
an amount equal to accrued interest on each such
Advance shall be paid to the applicable Managing
Agent's Account. On each Settlement Date, an amount
equal to accrued interest on Advances that bear
interest at the Alternate Base Rate shall be paid to
the applicable Managing Agent's Account.
39
(D) On each Settlement Date, an amount
equal to the unpaid principal balance of all Advances
made by Lenders shall be paid to the applicable
Managing Agent's Account.

Agent, under the Agent Fee Letter shall be paid to
the CL New York's Managing Agent's Account.
(F) To the extent not previously paid,
on each Settlement Date, any amounts of the type
described in Section 2.7(c)(iii)(iii)(G) are then due
and payable and any other unpaid Obligations shall be
paid to the applicable Managing Agent's Account.
(G) On the Settlement Date on which all
Obligations are paid in full, if the Servicer is the
Originator or an Affiliate of the Originator, an
amount equal to accrued Servicing Fee then due and
payable shall be paid to the Servicer.
(v) Upon receipt of funds deposited into its
Managing Agent's Account, each Managing Agent shall distribute such
funds to the Lenders in its Group or to itself for application to the
Obligations in accordance with the order of priority set forth in
Section 2.7(c)(iii) or (iv), as applicable.
(d) Interest Payments. Interest on each Advance that
bears interest at the Commercial Paper Rate and interest on each Eurodollar
Advance shall be due and payable on the last day of the Interest Period
applicable to such Advance. Interest on each Advance that bears interest at a
rate based on the Alternate Base Rate shall be due and payable in arrears on
each Settlement Date, on the Drawdown Termination Date and, thereafter, on

(e) Payments from Collection Account. To effect payments
(including prepayments) hereunder, the Borrower or the Servicer may request the
Administrative Agent to remit the collected funds (if any) then held on deposit
in the Collection Account.
2.8. The Reserve Account.
(a) Establishment. An account (the "Reserve Account")
shall be established with Bank One, NA. The Borrower, the Servicer,
Administrative Agent and the Reserve Account Bank have entered into the Reserve
Account Control Agreement. The Reserve Account is and shall be under the control
of the Administrative Agent, and the Borrower has and shall have no right, title
or interest in, or any right to withdraw any amount from, the Reserve Account.
40
(b) Taxation. The taxpayer identification number
associated with the Reserve Account shall be that of the Borrower, and the
Borrower will report for federal, state and local income tax purposes the
income, if any, earned on funds in the Reserve Account.
(c) New Reserve Account. In the event the Reserve Account
Bank ceases to be an Eligible Institution, the Borrower shall, within ten days
after learning thereof, establish a new Reserve Account (and transfer any
balance and investments then in the Reserve Account to such new Reserve Account)
at another Eligible Institution.
(d) Statements for Reserve Account. On a monthly basis,
the Servicer shall cause the Reserve Account Bank to provide the Borrower, the
Servicer and the Managing Agents with a written statement with respect to the
preceding calendar month regarding the Reserve Account in a form customary for
statements provided by the Reserve Account Bank for other accounts held by it,
which statement shall include, at a minimum, the amount on deposit in the
Reserve Account, and the dates and amounts of all deposits, withdrawals and
investment earnings with respect to the Reserve Account.
(e) Payments from Reserve Account.
(i) On the Business Day preceding the last day
of each Interest Period and each Settlement Date, the Servicer will
determine whether any Shortfall Amount will arise with respect to such
Interest Period or Settlement Date and will give the Administrative
Agent notice of the amount thereof by noon New York City time. By 2:00
p.m. New York City time on the Business Day prior to the last day of
each Interest Period and each Settlement Date on which the amount of
the Shortfall Amount is greater than zero, the Servicer shall notify
the Reserve Account Bank requesting payment thereof. To the extent
funds are available in the Reserve Account, the Servicer shall cause
the Reserve Account Bank to pay the amount requested to the applicable
Managing Agent's Account, as specified by the Administrative Agent, by
2:00 p.m. New York City time on the last day of such Interest Period or
on such Settlement Date.
(ii) On each Settlement Date prior to the
Drawdown Termination Date on which the funds on deposit in the Reserve
Account exceed the Required Reserve Account Amount (after giving effect
to any payments pursuant to Section 2.8(e)(i)), the Servicer may
withdraw and pay to the Borrower any such excess from the Reserve
Account.
(f) Payments to Reserve Account. On the date hereof, the
Borrower shall remit to the Reserve Account immediately available funds so that
the amount on deposit in the Reserve Account equals the Required Reserve Account
Amount. Additional payments shall be deposited to the Reserve Account from time
to time pursuant to Section 2.7(c)(iii)(D).
(g) Pledge. The Borrower hereby pledges and assigns to
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and hereby grants to
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, a security interest in,
all of the Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the Reserve Account,
including, without limitation, all funds on deposit therein, all investments
arising out of such funds, all interest and any other income arising therefrom,
all
41
claims thereunder or in connection therewith, and all cash, instruments,
securities, rights and other property at any time and from time to time
received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of such account, such
funds or such investments, and all money at any time in the possession or under
the control of, or in transit to such account, or any bailee, nominee, agent or
custodian of the Reserve Account Bank, and all proceeds and products of any of
the foregoing. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, the Borrower may
not assign, transfer or otherwise convey its rights under this Restated Loan
Agreement to receive any amounts from the Reserve Account.
(h) Termination of Reserve Account. On the date following
the Drawdown Termination Date on which all Obligations have been paid in full,
all funds then on deposit in the Reserve Account shall be paid to the Borrower,
and the Reserve Account shall be closed.
2.9. Interest Allocations.
Each Managing Agent shall, from time to time and in its sole
discretion, determine whether interest in respect of the Advances then
outstanding and owing to the Lenders in the related Group, or any portion
thereof, shall be calculated by reference to the Commercial Paper Rate (such
portion of the Principal Debt being herein called a "CP Allocation"), the
Eurodollar Rate or the Alternate Base Rate (such portion of the Principal Debt
as shall be calculated based on the Alternate Base Rate or the Eurodollar Rate
collectively, being herein called an "ABR Allocation"; provided, however, that
each Advance made by a Bank hereunder shall be allocated to the ABR Allocation.
Each Managing Agent shall provide the Borrower with reasonably prompt notice of
the allocations made by it pursuant to this Section 2.9. Following designation
by each Managing Agent of any Advance, or any portion thereof, as being a CP
Allocation, the Borrower may, at all times that such designation remains in
effect, consult with such Managing Agent as to the number and length of Interest
Periods relating to such CP Allocation. In selecting such Interest Periods, each
Managing Agent shall use reasonable efforts, taking into account market
conditions, to accommodate the Borrower's preferences; provided, however, that
each Managing Agent shall have the ultimate authority to make all such
selections.
2.10. Interest Rates.
Except where specifically otherwise provided, each CP
Allocation shall bear interest for the related Interest Period at a rate per
annum equal to the Commercial Paper Rate applicable to such Interest Period, and
each ABR Allocation shall bear interest at either the Eurodollar Rate plus the
Bank Spread, or the Alternate Base Rate; provided, however, that in no event
shall the rate of interest with respect to any Advance or portion thereof exceed
the Maximum Rate. Each change in the Alternate Base Rate and Maximum Rate,
subject to the terms of this Restated Loan Agreement, will become effective,
without notice to the Borrower or any other Person, upon the effective date of
such change.
2.11. Quotation of Rates.
It is hereby acknowledged that an officer or other individual
appropriately designated by an officer previously identified to a Managing Agent
in a certificate of incumbency or other appropriately designated officer of the
Borrower may call such Managing
42
Agent from time to time in order to receive an indication of the rates then in
effect, but such indicated rates shall neither be binding upon such Managing
Agent nor the Lenders nor affect the rate of interest which thereafter is
actually in effect.
2.12. Default Rate.
So long as any Event of Default exists, all Obligations shall
bear interest at the Default Rate until paid, regardless of whether such payment
is made before or after entry of a judgment.
2.13. Interest Recapture.
If the designated rate applicable to any Borrowing exceeds the
Maximum Rate, the rate of interest on such Borrowing shall be limited to the
Maximum Rate, but any subsequent reductions in such designated rate shall not
reduce the rate of interest thereon below the Maximum Rate until the total
amount of interest accrued thereon equals the amount of interest that would have
accrued thereon if such designated rate had at all times been in effect. If at
maturity (stated or by acceleration), or at final payment of the Notes, the
total amount of interest paid or accrued is less than the amount of interest
that would have accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in
effect, then, at such time and to the extent permitted by applicable
Governmental Requirements, the Borrower shall pay an amount equal to the
difference between (a) the lesser of the amount of interest that would have
accrued if such designated rates had at all times been in effect and the amount
of interest that would have accrued if the Maximum Rate had at all times been in
effect, and (b) the amount of interest actually paid or accrued on the Notes.
2.14. Interest Calculations.
All computations of interest and any other fees hereunder
shall be made on the basis of a year of 360 days for the actual number of days
(including the first day but excluding the last day) elapsed; provided, however,
that any calculations of interest based on the rate set forth in clause (a) of
the definition of Alternate Base Rate shall be made on the basis of a year of
365/366 days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) elapsed. All such determinations and calculations by the
Administrative Agent and the Managing Agents shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error.
2.15. Interest Period.
(a) "Interest Period" means with respect to any Advance
included in the CP Allocation, each period (i) commencing on, and including, the
date that such Advance was initially designated by the related Managing Agent as
comprising a part of the CP Allocation hereunder, or the last day of the
immediately preceding Interest Period for such Advance (whichever is latest);
and (ii) ending on, but excluding, the date that falls such number of days (not
to exceed 30 days) thereafter as such Managing Agent shall select; provided,
however, that no more than ten Interest Periods (five per Issuer) shall be in
effect at any one time with respect to Advances included in the CP Allocation
provided, however, that no Interest Period with respect to the Seasonal Facility
shall extend beyond the end of each Seasonal Period.
43
(b) "Interest Period" means with respect to any Advance
included in the ABR Allocation, a period of one month, which Advance shall be a
Eurodollar Advance, unless:
(i) on or prior to the first day of such
Interest Period the Lender with respect to such Advance shall have
notified the Administrative Agent that the introduction of or any
change in or in the interpretation of any law or regulation makes it
unlawful, or any central bank or other governmental authority asserts
that it is unlawful, for such Lender to fund such Advance at the
Eurodollar Rate (and such Lender shall not have subsequently notified
the Administrative Agent and Managing Agents that such circumstances no
longer exist), or
(ii) the Borrower shall have requested a Base
Rate Advance or an Interest Period shorter than one month, or
(iii) the Administrative Agent and Managing Agents
do not receive notice, by no later than 12:00 noon (New York City time)
on the third Business Day preceding the first day of such Interest
Period, that the related Advance will not be funded by issuance of
Commercial Paper Notes, or
(iv) the principal amount of such Advance is less
than $500,000, or
(v) an Event of Default shall have occurred and
be continuing,
in which case (if any of the foregoing events occurs) such Advance shall be a
Base Rate Advance having a duration not in excess of 31 days as selected by the
Borrower (unless an Event of Default shall exist, in which case such duration
shall be selected by the applicable Managing Agent).
(c) Notwithstanding any provision in this Restated Loan
Agreement to the contrary, (x) any Interest Period that would otherwise end on a
day that is not a Business Day shall be extended to the next succeeding Business
Day (provided, however, if interest in respect of such Interest Period is
computed by reference to the Eurodollar Rate, and such Interest Period would
otherwise end on a day that is not a Business Day, and there is no subsequent
Business Day in the same calendar month as such day, such Interest Period shall
end on the immediately preceding Business Day); (y) any Interest Period that
commences before the Drawdown Termination Date and would otherwise end after the
Drawdown Termination Date shall end on the Drawdown Termination Date; and (z)
the duration of each Interest Period that commences on or after the Drawdown
Termination Date shall be of such duration as shall be selected by the
applicable Managing Agents and communicated by notice to the Borrower.
2.16. Additional Costs.
(a) If any Regulatory Change occurring after the date
hereof:
(i) shall subject an Affected Party to any tax,
duty or other charge with respect to any Advance to or funded by it, or
any obligations or right to make Advances hereunder or to provide
funding therefor, or shall change the basis of taxation of payments to
the Affected Party of any amounts in respect of a Lender's principal or
44
interest owed to or funded by it or any other amounts due under this
Restated Loan Agreement in respect of any Advance funded by it or its
obligations or rights, if any, to make Advances or to provide funding
therefor (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net
income of such Affected Party imposed by the United States of America,
by the jurisdiction in which such Affected Party's principal executive
office is located and, if such Affected Party's principal executive
office is not in the United States of America, by the jurisdiction
where such Affected Party's principal office in the United States is
located); or
(ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
reserve (other than reserve requirements referred to in Section 2.17),
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of any Affected
Party, deposits or obligations with or for the account of any Affected
Party or with or for the account of any affiliate (or entity deemed by
the Federal Reserve Board to be an affiliate) of any Affected Party, or
credit extended by any Affected Party; or
(iii) shall change the amount of capital
maintained or required or requested or directed to be maintained by any
Affected Party; or
(iv) shall change the rates for, or the manner in
which the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (or any successor
thereto) assesses deposit insurance premiums or similar charges; or
(v) shall impose any other condition affecting
any Advance funded by any Affected Party, or its obligations or rights,
if any, to make Advances or to provide funding therefor;
and the result of any of the foregoing is or would be:
(x) to increase the cost to or impose a cost on
(I) an Affected Party funding or making or maintaining any Advances or
any liquidity loan to an Issuer or any commitment of such Affected
Party with respect to any of the foregoing, or (II) the Administrative
Agent for continuing its, or the Borrower's, relationship with the
Lenders,
(y) to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by an Affected Party under this Restated Loan Agreement or
any Note, or under the Liquidity Agreement with respect thereto, or
(z) in the sole determination of such Affected
Party, to reduce materially the rate of return on the capital of an
Affected Party as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising
in connection herewith to a level below that which such Affected Party
could otherwise have achieved,
then within thirty days after demand by such Affected Party (which demand shall
be accompanied by a statement setting forth the basis of such demand), the
Borrower shall pay directly to such Affected Party such additional amount or
amounts as will compensate such Affected Party for such additional or increased
cost or such reduction.
45
(b) Each Affected Party will promptly notify the
Borrower, the applicable Managing Agent and the Administrative Agent of any
event of which it has knowledge that will entitle such Affected Party to
compensation pursuant to this Section 2.16; provided, however, no failure to
give or delay in giving such notification shall adversely affect the rights of
any Affected Party to such compensation.
(c) In determining any amount provided for or referred to
in this Section 2.16, an Affected Party may use any averaging and attribution
methods that it (in its sole discretion) shall deem applicable. Any Affected
Party when making a claim under this Section 2.16 shall submit to the Borrower a
statement as to such increased cost or reduced return (including calculation
thereof), which Statement shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive
and binding upon the Borrower.
2.17. Additional Interest on Advances Bearing a Eurodollar Rate.
The Borrower shall pay to any Affected Party, so long as such
Affected Party shall be required under regulations of the Federal Reserve Board
to maintain reserves with respect to liabilities or assets consisting of or
including Eurocurrency Liabilities, additional interest on the unpaid principal
of each Advance or portion thereof made or funded (including fundings to an
Issuer for the purpose of maintaining an Advance) by such Affected Party during
each Interest Period in respect of which interest is computed by reference to
the Eurodollar Rate, for such Interest Period, at a rate per annum equal at all
times during such Interest Period to the remainder obtained by subtracting (i)
the Eurodollar Rate for such Interest Period from (ii) the rate obtained by
dividing such Eurodollar Rate referred to in clause (i) above by that percentage
equal to 100% minus the Eurodollar Rate Reserve Percentage of such Affected
Party for such Interest Period, payable on each date on which interest is
payable on such Advance. Such additional interest shall be determined by such
Affected Party and notice thereof given to the Borrower (with a copy to the
Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent) within 30 days after any
interest payment is made with respect to which such additional interest is
requested. A certificate as to such additional interest submitted to the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing Agent by such
Affected Party shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest
error.
2.18. Consequential Loss.
The Borrower shall indemnify each Affected Party against, and
shall pay to the Administrative Agent for such Affected Party within ten days
after request therefor, any Consequential Loss of any Affected Party. When any
Affected Party requests that the Borrower pay any Consequential Loss, it shall
deliver to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the applicable Managing
Agent a certificate setting forth the basis for imposing such Consequential Loss
and the calculation of such amount thereof, which calculation shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
2.19. Replacement Banks.
Upon the election of any Affected Party to request
reimbursement by the Borrower for increased costs under Sections 2.16 or 2.17,
the Borrower may, upon prior written
46
notice to the Administrative Agent, the applicable Managing Agent and such
Affected Party, seek a replacement Bank to whom such additional costs shall not
apply (a "Replacement Bank") and, upon a Bank's breach of its obligation
hereunder to make an Advance, the Borrower may seek a Replacement Bank for such
Bank. Any Replacement Bank shall be satisfactory to the applicable Managing
Agent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrower may not seek a replacement
for a Bank that is also a Managing Agent unless the related Issuer is also
terminated as a party to this Restated Loan Agreement and all of its outstanding
Advances are repaid in full. Each Affected Party agrees that, should it be
identified for replacement pursuant to this Section 2.19, upon payment in full
of all amounts due and owing to such Affected Party hereunder and under the
other Transaction Documents, it will promptly execute and deliver all documents
and instruments reasonably required by the Borrower to assign such Affected
Party's portion of the Advances to the applicable Replacement Bank. Any such
replacement shall not relieve the Borrower of its obligation to reimburse the
Affected Party for any such increased costs incurred through the date of such
replacement.
2.20. Seasonal Facility Amount.
(a) On the terms and conditions set forth herein, the
Seasonal Issuer may, in its sole discretion, make an Advance (a "Seasonal
Advance" or "Seasonal Borrowing"), and if the Seasonal Issuer does not make such
Advance, the Seasonal Bank shall make such Advance, to the Borrower from time to
time in such amounts as may be requested by the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.3, so long as
(i) the Seasonal Facility Amount is greater than
the Principal Debt owed to the Seasonal Lenders;
(ii) each Borrowing is in an amount of at least
$5,000,000 or an integral multiple of $10,000 in excess thereof;
(iii) each such Advance is made during a Seasonal
Period and prior to the Seasonal Facility Termination Date; and
(iv) the Availability under the Facility at the
time of such Seasonal Advance is equal to zero.
(b) The Borrower may, from time to time by written
request to the Seasonal Lenders and the Managing Agent for the Seasonal Lenders
(each such notice being a "Seasonal Extension Request") given not later than 90
days and not sooner than 120 days prior to each Annual Extension Date, request
an extension of the then applicable Annual Seasonal Extension Date. If the
Lenders, the Managing Agents, and the Administrative Agent consent, in their
sole discretion, to such Seasonal Extension Request, then (x) the Seasonal
Facility Termination Date shall not occur as of the then applicable Annual
Seasonal Extension Date and (y) the Annual Seasonal Extension Date shall be
extended as described in the definition of "Annual Seasonal Extension Date." Any
such extension may be accompanied by such additional fees as the parties shall
mutually agree. Notwithstanding anything else to the contrary, the Seasonal
Facility Termination Date shall occur automatically, without further action on
the part of the Lenders, the
47
Managing Agents or the Administrative Agent, on the then current Annual Seasonal
Extension Date unless an Extension Request has been granted pursuant to this
paragraph.
(c) The Borrower may, upon at least thirty (30) days'
written notice to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent and the
Seasonal Lenders, terminate the Seasonal Facility in whole or reduce in part the
Seasonal Facility Amount; provided, that each reduction of the Seasonal Facility
Amount shall (i) be effective on the next occurring Settlement Date, (ii) be in
the amount of at least $5,000,000 or an integral multiples of $1,000,000 in
excess thereof and (iii) not reduce the Seasonal Facility Amount below the
Principal Debt owed to the Seasonal Lenders.
ARTICLE III
COLLATERAL
3.1. Collateral.
To secure the payment of the Obligations, the Borrower has
executed and delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent, as
applicable:
(a) the Restated Security Agreement,
(b) the Restated Assignment of Account,
(c) Collection and Paying Agreement,
(d) Reserve Account Control Agreement,
(e) the Assignments, and
(f) the UCC Financing Statements;
all as more fully provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement. The Borrower
further agrees to execute all documents and instruments, and perform all other
acts reasonably deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent or any Managing
Agent to create and perfect, and maintain the security interests and collateral
assignments in favor of the Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent for the
benefit of the holders of the Obligations, as perfected first priority security
interests. Any security interest or collateral assignments granted to the
Administrative Agent or the Collateral Agent under any Transaction Document is
for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, whether or not reference is
made to such holders.
3.2. Delivery of Collateral to Collateral Agent.
(a) Periodically, the Borrower may deliver Mortgage Loan
Collateral to the Collateral Agent to hold as bailee for the Administrative
Agent. Each delivery shall be made in association with an Assignment to the
Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, in all
Mortgage Loans, Take-Out Commitments and related Collateral delivered
48
with or described in such Assignment or any schedules thereto. The Borrower
shall use the form of Assignment provided for in the Collateral Agency
Agreement.
(b) Each Assignment delivered to the Collateral Agent
shall be accompanied by a completed Schedule I, Schedule II and Schedule III
using the forms of such schedules as prescribed in the Collateral Agency
Agreement and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan described in Schedule I to
each Assignment, shall deliver or cause to be delivered the following items
(collectively, the "Principal Mortgage Documents"):
(i) the original of each Mortgage Note, endorsed
in blank (without recourse) and all intervening endorsements thereto;
(ii) in the case of each Mortgage Loan that is
not a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, an original executed assignment in
blank for each Mortgage Note and the Mortgage securing such Mortgage
Note, in recordable form executed by the Originator (and if the related
Mortgage Loan is a MERS Designated Mortgage Loan, this document shall
not be required to be delivered to the Collateral Agent); and
(iii) a certified copy of the executed Mortgage
related to such Mortgage Note;
(c) The Servicer shall hold in trust for the
Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, with
respect to each Mortgage Loan included in the Collateral,
(i) the original filed Mortgage relating to such
Mortgage Loan, provided, however, that, until an original Mortgage is
received from the public official charged with its filing and
recordation, a copy, certified by the closing agent to be a true and
correct copy of the filed and recorded original, may be used by the
Borrower to satisfy this requirement; however, the Borrower shall
thereafter pursue, with reasonable diligence, receipt of the filed and
recorded original Mortgage;
(ii) other than with respect to a HUD repossessed
Property that is sold to a consumer, a mortgagee's policy of title
insurance (or binding unexpired commitment to issue such insurance if
the policy has not yet been delivered to the Servicer) insuring the
Borrower's perfected, first-priority Lien except Second-Lien Loans
created by the Mortgage securing such Mortgage Loan (subject to such
title exceptions that conform to the related Take-Out Commitments) in a
policy amount not less than the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan;
(iii) the original hazard insurance policy,
appropriately endorsed to provide that all insurance proceeds will be
paid to the Originator or its assigns, referred to in Section 6.6(b)
hereof which relate to such Mortgage Loan, or other evidence of
insurance reasonably acceptable to the Administrative Agent;
(iv) the form of current appraisal of the
Property described in the Mortgage, prepared by a state licensed
appraiser, that complies with all applicable Governmental Requirements,
including all Governmental Requirements that are
49
applicable to the Lenders or any other Affected Party; provided,
however, that no appraisal shall be required for Mortgage Loans (x)
financing HUD repossessed Property that is sold to a consumer, financed
with an FHA loan, fully insurable and in accordance with FHA
guidelines, but for which an appraisal is not required, and (y)
representing so called VA Rate Reduction or FHA Streamline refinances,
insurable in accordance with VA and FHA guidelines, but for which an
appraisal is not required; and
(v) all other original documents (collectively,
the "Other Mortgage Documents").
Upon request of the Administrative Agent or any Managing Agent, the Borrower
shall immediately deliver, or shall cause to be delivered, all such items, held
in trust, to the Collateral Agent as bailee for the Administrative Agent or such
other party as may be designated in such notice. Upon instructions from the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent shall reject as unsatisfactory any
items so delivered, whereupon the Mortgage Loan shall not be an Eligible
Mortgage Loan.
(d) In connection with each Assignment delivered to the
Collateral Agent, the Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent with
respect to any Non-Conforming Loans or Alt-A Loans, copies of the related master
agreement or commitment with the related Approved Investor, with any
confidential economic terms redacted (unless a copy of such agreement or
commitment has been delivered previously), together with a current Hedge Report
with respect to such Mortgage Loans.
(e) The Servicer shall provide the Collateral Agent and
the Administrative Agent with full access to all Other Mortgage Documents held
in trust for the Administrative Agent at all times.
(f) With respect to each Assignment that is received by
the Collateral Agent, the Collateral Agent shall review such Assignment and make
a written report to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent, all as more fully
provided in the Collateral Agency Agreement.
3.3. Redemption of Mortgage Collateral.
(a) Generally. Subject to the limitations contained in
this Section 3.3, in connection with a sale or other transfer contemplated by
clause (a) or (b), and so long as no Default or Event of Default is continuing,
the Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) may request releases of
the Administrative Agent's security interest in all or any part of the
Collateral (including releases from the Collection Account and release of funds
owned by the Borrower and held in the Cash and Collateral Account) at any time,
and from time to time; provided that no such request shall be granted unless, in
addition to the satisfaction of the other conditions contained in this Section
3.3,
(i) (immediately after giving effect to any
requested release) the total Collateral Value of all Eligible Mortgage
Collateral shall equal or exceed the Principal Debt, or
50
(ii) (A) the Borrower makes a principal payment
on account of the Principal Debt in an amount, or (B) the Borrower
delivers to the Collateral Agent as bailee for the Administrative Agent
substitute Eligible Mortgage Collateral with a Collateral Value, such
that after giving effect to such payment or delivery, the total
Collateral Value of all Eligible Mortgage Collateral will equal or
exceed the Principal Debt.
Each request for a partial release of Collateral (a "Transfer Request") shall be
addressed to the Collateral Agent and (i) shall be substantially in the form
illustrated in Exhibit D-5 to the Collateral Agency Agreement (or such other
form as may be reasonably acceptable to or required by the Administrative Agent,
from time to time) or (ii) shall be in the form of an electronic transmission
which shall include a schedule substantially in the form illustrated on Schedule
I to Exhibit D-5 to the Collateral Agency Agreement (or such other form as may
be reasonably acceptable to or required by the Administrative Agent, from time
to time).
(b) Redemption Pursuant to Sale. So long as no Default or
Event of Default is continuing, the Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the
Borrower) may from time to time submit a Shipping Request that would permit a
sale of Mortgage Loan Collateral to, or the pooling of Mortgage Loan Collateral
for, an Approved Investor, pursuant to a Take-Out Commitment. Upon the receipt
by the Collateral Agent of a Shipping Request from the Borrower identifying
Collateral to be delivered to an Approved Investor, and so long as no Default or
Event of Default shall be in existence or would be caused thereby:
(i) The Collateral Agent shall deliver to the
Approved Investor, or its loan servicing provider or custodian, under
the Collateral Agent's "Bailee and Security Agreement Letter"
substantially in the form provided for in the Collateral Agency
Agreement, as appropriate, the items of Mortgage Loan Collateral being
sold that are held by the Collateral Agent as bailee for the
Administrative Agent pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof, with the release
of the security interest in favor of the Administrative Agent for the
benefit of the holders of the Obligations in such items being
conditioned upon timely payment to the Cash and Collateral Account of
the amount described in Section 3.3(b)(iii) or delivery of additional
Eligible Mortgage Collateral;
(ii) The Servicer shall, as agent for the
Administrative Agent, deliver to such Approved Investor, or such
Approved Investor's loan servicing provider or custodian, pursuant to
procedures provided for in the Collateral Agency Agreement, the items
held by the Servicer pursuant to Section 3.2(c) that are related to the
Mortgage Loan Collateral to be transferred on the condition that such
Approved Investor or its loan servicing provider or custodian shall
hold or control such Other Mortgage Documents as bailee for the
Administrative Agent (for the benefit of the holders of the
Obligations) until the Approved Investor has either paid the full
purchase price for such Mortgage Loan Collateral to the Collateral
Agent, as required by the relevant Take-Out Commitment;
(iii) Within forty-five (45) days after the
delivery by the Collateral Agent to such Approved Investor or its loan
servicing provider or custodian of the items of Mortgage Loan
Collateral described in Section 3.3(b)(i), the Borrower shall make a
51
payment, or shall cause a payment to be made, to the Cash and
Collateral Account, for distribution to the Administrative Agent for
the account of the Lenders in an amount equal to at least the full
purchase price for such Mortgage Loan Collateral; and
(iv) With respect to each Shipping Request that
is received by the Collateral Agent by 8:00 a.m. (eastern time) on a
Business Day, the Collateral Agent shall use due diligence and efforts
to review such Shipping Request and prepare the Mortgage Loan files
identified in each Shipping Request, for shipment prior to the close of
business on such day.
(c) Transfers. So long as no Default or Event of Default
is continuing, the Borrower shall, at any time, be permitted to transfer
Mortgage Loans to any Permitted Transferees (as defined below) by means of its
daily electronic transmissions to the Collateral Agent, together with delivery
of a Transfer Request delivered to the Collateral Agent identifying each
Mortgage Loan being transferred. The Collateral Agent's sole responsibility with
respect to any such transfers shall be to correctly reflect such transfers on
its computer system and books and records and to indicate, on its Collateral
Agent's Daily Report on the next Business Day, that such transfers have been
effected. "Permitted Transferees" means (i) the Originator, in connection with
any sale and transfer thereto effected pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase
Agreement and (ii) any Approved Investor approved by the Administrative Agent as
a Permitted Transferee. However, requested transfers will not be made if (A)
total Principal Debt, as shown on the most recently received Servicer Periodic
Report in the form of Exhibit M, will exceed the total Collateral Value of
Eligible Mortgage Collateral immediately after giving effect to a requested
transfer, (B) the Collateral Agent has not received the prior day's Servicer
Periodic Report in the form of Exhibit M by 11:00 a.m. (eastern time) on the
date on which the transfer is to be made, or (C) the Collateral Agent shall have
received written notice from the Administrative Agent that a Default or Event of
Default has occurred.
(d) Continuation of Lien. Unless released in writing by
the Administrative Agent as herein provided, the security interest in favor of
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the Obligations, in
all Mortgage Loan Collateral transmitted pursuant to Section 3.3(b) shall
continue in effect until such time as payment in full of the amount described in
Section 3.3(b)(iii) shall have been received.
(e) Application of Proceeds; No Duty. Neither the
Administrative Agent nor the Lenders shall be under any duty at any time to
credit Borrower for any amount due from any Approved Investor in respect of any
purchase of any Mortgage Collateral contemplated under Section 3.3(b) above,
until such amount has actually been received in immediately available funds and
deposited to the Collection Account. Neither the Collateral Agent, nor the
Lenders, nor the Administrative Agent shall be under any duty at any time to
collect any amounts or otherwise enforce any obligations due from any Approved
Investor in respect of any such purchase.
(f) Mandatory Redemption of Mortgage Collateral.
Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, if at any time a
Collateral Deficiency exists, the Borrower shall, immediately make a payment to
the Collection Account (or make payment directly to the Administrative Agent) or
pledge, assign and deliver additional or substitute Eligible Mortgage
52
Collateral to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the holders of the
Obligations, so that, immediately after giving effect to such payment or pledge
and assignment, total Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral shall be
equal or greater than the Principal Debt.
(g) Representation in Connection with Releases, Sales and
Transfers. The Borrower represents and warrants that each request for any
release or transfer pursuant to Section 3.3(a) or Section 3.3(b) shall
automatically constitute a representation and warranty to the effect that
immediately before and after giving effect to such release or Transfer Request,
the Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral shall equal or exceed the
Principal Debt.
(h) Limitation on Releases. Notwithstanding any provision
to the contrary, the Collateral Agent shall not release any Collateral unless
payment of the purchase price by the Approved Investor or the Originator shall
have been made in immediately available funds to the Cash and Collateral
Account; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply if there is no
Default or Event of Default and immediately before and after giving effect to
such release, the total Collateral Value of Eligible Mortgage Collateral shall
equal or exceed the Principal Debt.
3.4. Correction of Mortgage Notes.
The Servicer may from time to time request, in writing, that
the Collateral Agent deliver a Mortgage Note that constitutes Mortgage Loan
Collateral so that such Mortgage Note may be replaced by a corrected Mortgage
Note. Upon receipt by the Collateral Agent of such a request from the Servicer,
and so long as no Default or Event of Default shall be in existence, the
Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Servicer, under the Collateral Agent's
"Trust Receipt and Security Agreement Letter", in the form provided for in the
Collateral Agency Agreement, the Mortgage Note to be corrected, such delivery to
be conditioned upon the receipt within fourteen (14) calendar days by the
Collateral Agent of a corrected Mortgage Note acceptable to it. If the corrected
Mortgage Note is not received with such time, then, beginning on the first
Business Day following such fourteenth calendar day, the Collateral Agent shall
assign such Mortgage Loan a Collateral Value of zero.
3.5. Collateral Reporting.
Pursuant to the Collateral Agency Agreement, at the
commencement of each Business Day, and in no event later than 11:00 a.m.
(eastern time), the Collateral Agent shall furnish to the Borrower, the Servicer
and each Managing Agent (by facsimile (a hard copy of which shall not
subsequently be mailed, sent or delivered to either Managing Agent, unless so
requested by such Managing Agent)) a duly completed Collateral Agent Daily
Report in the form of Exhibit D-8 to the Collateral Agency Agreement.
3.6. Hedge Reports.
No later than 11:00 a.m. (eastern time), on the first Business

Originator's Mortgage Loan production for such fiscal year for all Mortgage
Loans; and
3.10. Servicer Periodic Reporting.
The Servicer shall furnish the Administrative Agent, the
Managing Agents and the Collateral Agent (by facsimile (a hard copy of which

(c) No Conflicts or Consents. Neither the execution and
delivery by it of this Restated Loan Agreement or the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of any of the
transactions herein or therein contemplated, nor compliance with the terms and
provisions hereof or with the terms and provisions thereof, will (i) contravene
or conflict with any Requirement of Law to which it is subject, except where
such contravention or conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Effect, or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other
agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it may be bound, or
to which its Property may be subject, except where such contravention or
conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or

enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, except as limited by
Debtor Laws and by general principles of equity.
(e) Full Disclosure. There is no fact known to it that it
has not disclosed to the Managing Agents that could have a Material Adverse
Effect. Neither its financial statements nor any Borrowing Request, officer's
certificate or statement delivered by it to the Managing Agents in connection
with this Restated Loan Agreement, contains or will contain any untrue or
inaccurate statement of material fact or omits or will omit to state a material
fact necessary to make such information not misleading.
(f) No Default. It is not in default under any loan
agreement, mortgage, security agreement or other agreement or obligation to
which it is a party or by which any of its Property is bound, if such default

(h) Taxes. All tax returns required to be filed by it in
any jurisdiction have been filed and all taxes, assessments, fees and other

have been paid prior to the time that such taxes could give rise to a Lien
thereon, unless protested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and with
respect to which reserves in conformity with GAAP have been established on its
books, and except where such failure to file or pay would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There is no proposed tax assessment
against it that would have a Material Adverse Effect.

Servicer is in compliance with the maximum leverage test set forth in Section
7.10.

otherwise has the necessary right to use) all patents, trademarks,
service marks, trade names and copyrights, technology, know-how and
processes, and all rights with respect to the foregoing, which are

approvals previously obtained and actions previously taken, neither the
execution and delivery of this Restated Loan Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents to which it is a party, nor the consummation of any of the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby requires the consent or approval of,

condition of the Borrower.

equity and cash flows for the year ended on such date, audited by
independent certified accountants of recognized national standing and
(y) copies of the Servicer's unaudited balance sheet, as of June 30,

cash flows for the nine months ended on such date ("Interim
Statements"); and all such financial statements fairly present the

subject, in the case of the Interim Statements, to normal year end
adjustments and the results of operations of the Servicer for the
periods ended on such dates and have been prepared in accordance with
GAAP.

All representations and warranties by the Borrower and the
Servicer herein shall survive delivery of the Notes and the making of the
Advances, and any investigation at any time made by or on behalf of the

Each Lender has appointed the Administrative Agent as its
agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise such powers
under this Restated Loan Agreement as are delegated to the Administrative Agent
by the terms hereof, together with such powers as are reasonably incidental
thereto. As to any matters not expressly provided for by this Restated Loan
Agreement (including, without limitation, enforcement of this Restated Loan
Agreement), the Administrative Agent shall not be required to exercise any
discretion or take any action, but shall be required to act or to refrain from
acting (and shall be fully protected in so acting or refraining from acting)
upon the instructions of the Majority Banks, and such instructions shall be
binding upon all Lenders; provided, however, that the Administrative Agent shall

personal liability or that is contrary to this Restated Loan Agreement or
applicable law.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Restated Loan
Agreement or any other Transaction Document, neither the Administrative Agent
nor any of its directors, officers, agents, representatives, employees,

to be taken by it or them (in their capacity as or on behalf of the
Administrative Agent) under or in connection with this Restated Loan Agreement
or the other Transaction Documents, except for its or their own gross negligence
or willful misconduct. Without limitation of the generality of the foregoing,
the Administrative Agent: (a) may treat the payee of the Notes as the holder
thereof; (b) may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the

the Borrower and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken
in good faith by it in accordance with the advice of such counsel, accountants

Agent and shall not be responsible to any Lender or Managing Agent for any

Agent for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,

of this Restated Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document by acting upon
any notice, consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may be by
81
telegram, cable or telex) believed by the Administrative Agent to be genuine and
signed or sent by the proper Person or party.
9.3. Administrative Agent and Affiliates.
With respect to any Advance made by CL New York, CL New York

Administrative Agent. CL New York and its Affiliates may accept deposits from,
lend money to, act as trustee under indentures of, and generally engage in any
kind of business with, the Borrower, the Managing Agents, any of the Borrower's
Affiliates and any Person who may do business with or own securities of the
Borrower, the Managing Agents or any such Affiliate, all as if CL New York were
not the Administrative Agent and without any duty to account therefor to the
Lenders. If CL New York is removed as Administrative Agent, such removal will
not affect CL New York's rights and interests as a Lender.
9.4. Lender Decision.
Each Lender (including each Lender that becomes a party hereto
by assignment) acknowledges that it has, independently and without reliance on
the Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own
evaluation and decision to enter into this Restated Loan Agreement. Each Lender
also acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance on the
Administrative Agent, any of its Affiliates or any other Lender and based on
such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the time,
continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under this
Restated Loan Agreement.
9.5. Rights of the Administrative Agent.
Each right and remedy expressly provided by this Restated Loan
Agreement as being available to the Administrative Agent shall be exercised by
the Administrative Agent only at the direction of the Majority Banks.
9.6. Indemnification of Administrative Agent.
Each Bank agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the
extent not reimbursed by or on behalf of the Borrower), ratably according to the
respective principal amounts held by it (or if no Advances are then outstanding,
each Bank shall indemnify the Administrative Agent ratably according to the
amount of its Bank Commitment), from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Restated Loan Agreement or the other
Transaction Documents or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent
under this Restated Loan Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, provided
that no Bank shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations,
losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or
disbursements resulting from the Administrative Agent's gross negligence or
willful misconduct.
82
9.7. UCC Filings.
The Lenders and the Borrower expressly recognize and agree
that the Administrative Agent may be listed as the assignee or secured party of
record on the various UCC filings made hereunder in order to perfect the
security interest in the Collateral granted by the Borrower for the benefit of
the holders of the Obligations and that such listing is for administrative
convenience only in creating a record-holder or nominee to take certain actions
hereunder on behalf of the holders of the Obligations.
ARTICLE X
INDEMNIFICATION
10.1. Indemnities by the Borrower.
(a) General Indemnity. Without limiting any other rights
that any such Person may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Borrower
hereby agrees to indemnify each of the Lenders, each Managing Agent, the agents,
any Affected Party, their respective successors, transferees, participants and
assigns and all affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, controlling
persons, employees and agents of any of the foregoing (each an "Indemnified
Party"), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses,
claims, liabilities and related costs and expenses, including attorneys' fees
and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as
"Indemnified Amounts") awarded against or incurred by any of them arising out of
or relating to this Restated Loan Agreement or the exercise or performance of
any of its or their powers or duties, in respect of any Mortgage Loan or
Take-Out Commitment, or related in any way to its or their possession of, or
dealings with, the Collateral, excluding, however, (i) Indemnified Amounts to
the extent resulting from gross negligence or willful misconduct on the part of
such Indemnified Party, (ii) internal costs and expenses incurred in the
ordinary course of business and (iii) income taxes.
10.2. Contribution.
If for any reason the indemnification provided above in this
Section 10.1 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold
an Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim,
damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the
relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and
Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified Party
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
ARTICLE XI
ADMINISTRATION AND COLLECTION OF MORTGAGE LOANS
11.1. Designation of Servicer.
The servicing, administration and collection of the Mortgage

new Servicer, the Originator is hereby designated as, and hereby agrees to
perform the duties and obligations of, the Servicer pursuant to the terms
hereof. The Administrative Agent may at any time following the occurrence of a
Servicer Default designate as Servicer any Person (including itself) to succeed

Non-Conforming Loans, the servicing criteria specified by the Approved Investor
that has issued a Take-Out Commitment with respect thereto. The Borrower and the
Administrative Agent hereby appoint the Servicer, from time to time designated
pursuant to Section 11.1, as agent for themselves and for the Lenders to enforce
their respective rights and interests in the Mortgage Assets and the Collections
thereof. In performing its duties as Servicer, the Servicer shall exercise the
same care and apply the same policies as it would exercise and apply if it owned

Lenders.
(b) The Servicer shall administer the Collections in
accordance with the procedures described in Section 2.7 and shall service the
Collateral in accordance with Section 7.7.

of the Servicer set forth in the Collateral Agency Agreement and the other
Security Instruments.

all payments thereunder be made directly to the Administrative Agent or its
designee.

Agent or its designee.
(c) At the Administrative Agent's request and at the
Borrower's expense, the Borrower and the Servicer shall (i) assemble all of the
documents, instruments and other records (including, without limitation,
computer tapes and disks) that evidence or relate to the Mortgage Assets and
Collections and Collateral, or that are otherwise necessary or desirable to
collect the Mortgage Assets, and shall make the same available to the
Administrative Agent at a place selected by the Administrative Agent or its
designee, and (ii) segregate all cash, checks and other instruments received by
it from time to time constituting Collections in a manner reasonably acceptable
to the Administrative Agent and, promptly upon receipt, remit all such cash,
checks and instruments, duly endorsed or with duly executed instruments of
transfer, to the Administrative Agent or its designee.

take any and all steps in the Borrower's name and on behalf of the Borrower that
are necessary or desirable, in the determination of the Administrative Agent, to
collect amounts due under the Mortgage Assets, including, without limitation,
endorsing the Borrower's name on checks and other instruments representing
Collections and enforcing the Mortgage Assets and the other Collateral.
11.4. Rights and Remedies.
(a) If the Servicer fails to perform any of its
obligations under this Restated Loan Agreement, the Administrative Agent may
(but shall not be required to) itself perform, or cause performance of, such
obligation; and the Administrative Agent's costs and expenses incurred in
connection therewith shall be payable by the Servicer.
(b) The Borrower and the Originator shall perform their
respective obligations under the Mortgage Loans to the same extent as if such
Mortgage Loans had not been sold by the Originator and the exercise by the
Administrative Agent on behalf of the Lenders of their rights under this
Restated Loan Agreement shall not release the Servicer or the Borrower from any
of their duties or obligations with respect to any Mortgage Loans. Neither the
Administrative Agent, nor the Lenders shall have any obligation or liability
with respect to any Mortgage Loans, nor shall any of them be obligated to
perform the obligations of the Borrower thereunder.
(c) In the event of any conflict between the provisions
of this Article XI of this Restated Loan Agreement and Article VI of the
Repurchase Agreement, the provisions of this Restated Loan Agreement shall
control.

a "Special Indemnified Party") may have hereunder or under applicable law, and
in consideration of its appointment as Servicer, the
85
Servicer hereby agrees to indemnify each Special Indemnified Party from and
against any and all claims, losses and liabilities (including attorneys' fees)
(all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as "Special Indemnified
Amounts") arising out of or resulting from any of the following (excluding,
however, (x) Special Indemnified Amounts to the extent resulting from gross
negligence or willful misconduct on the part of such Special Indemnified Party,

measured by income incurred by such Special Indemnified Party arising out of or
as a result of this Restated Loan Agreement or the Borrowings hereunder):

respect with any applicable law, rule or regulation with respect to any Mortgage
Asset or the failure of any Mortgage Loan to conform to any such applicable law,
rule or regulation;
(c) the failure to have filed, or any delay in filing,
financing statements, Mortgages or assignments of Mortgages under the applicable
laws of any applicable jurisdiction with respect to any Mortgage Assets and the
other Collateral and Collections in respect thereof, whether at the time of any
purchase under the Repurchase Agreement or at any subsequent time;

obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Restated Loan Agreement;

or at such other addresses or to such officer's, individual's or department's
attention as any party may have furnished the other parties in writing. Any
communication so addressed and mailed shall be deemed to be given when so
mailed, except that notices and requests given pursuant to Section 3.3(e).
Borrowing Requests and communications related thereto shall not be effective
until actually received by the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent, the
Issuers or the Borrower, as the case may be; and any notice so sent by rapid
transmission shall be deemed to be given when receipt of such transmission is
acknowledged, and any communication so delivered in person shall be deemed to be
given when receipted for by, or actually received by, an authorized officer of
the Borrower, the Collateral Agent, or the Administrative Agent.
13.2. Amendments, Etc.
No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Restated Loan
Agreement or consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom shall be
effective unless in a writing signed by the Majority Banks, the Administrative
Agent (as agent for the Issuers) and the Administrative Agent (and, in the case
of any amendment, also signed by the Borrower), and then such amendment, waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless an amendment,
waiver or consent shall be made in writing and signed by each of the Banks, the
Managing Agents, and the Administrative Agent, and each of the Rating Agencies
shall confirm that any amendment will not result in a downgrade or withdrawal of
the ratings assigned to any Commercial Paper Notes, no amendment, waiver or
consent shall do any of the following:
(a) amend the definitions of Eligible Mortgage Loan,
Collateral Value, Advance Rate or Majority Banks or
(b) amend, modify or waive any provision of this Restated
Loan Agreement in any way that would:
(i) reduce the amount of principal or interest
that is payable on account of any Advance or delay any scheduled date
for payment thereof or
91
(ii) impair any rights expressly granted to an
assignee or participant under this Restated Loan Agreement or
(c) reduce the fees payable by the Borrower, the Managing
Agents, to the Administrative Agent or the Lenders or delay the dates on which
such fees are payable or
(d) amend or waive the Event of Default set forth in
Sections 8.1(f), (g) or (h) relating to the bankruptcy of the Performance
Guarantor, the Originator or the Borrower or
(e) amend or waive the Event of Default set forth in
Section 8.1(w) relating to the maximum Default Ratio or
(f) amend clause (a) of the definition of Drawdown
Termination Date or
(g) amend this Section 13.2;
and provided, further, that no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in
writing and signed by the Servicer in addition to the other parties required
above to take such action, affect the rights or duties of the Servicer under
this Restated Loan Agreement. No failure on the part of the Lenders, the
Managing Agents, or the Administrative Agent to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right thereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
13.3. Invalidity.
In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained
in the Notes, this Restated Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document
shall, for any reason, be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect,
such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other
provision of such document.
13.4. Restrictions on Informal Amendments.
No course of dealing or waiver on the part of the
Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents, the Collateral Agent, any Lender or
any Affected Party, or any of their officers, employees, consultants or agents,
or any failure or delay by any such Person with respect to exercising any right,
power or privilege under the Notes, this Restated Loan Agreement or any other
Transaction Document shall operate as an amendment to express written terms of
the Notes, this Restated Loan Agreement or any other Transaction Document or
shall act as a waiver of any right, power or privilege of any such Person.
13.5. Cumulative Rights.
The rights, powers, privileges and remedies of each of the
Lenders, the Collateral Agent, the Managing Agents, and the Administrative Agent
under the Notes, this Restated Loan Agreement, and any other Transaction
Document shall be cumulative, and the exercise or partial exercise of any such
right, power, privilege or remedy shall not preclude the exercise of any other
right or remedy.
92
13.6. Construction; Governing Law.
THIS RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING
EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401
AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO).
13.7. Interest.
Any provisions herein, in the Notes, or in any other
Transaction Document, or any other document executed or delivered in connection
herewith, or in any other agreement or commitment, whether written or oral,
expressed or implied, to the contrary notwithstanding, the Lenders shall in no
event be entitled to receive or collect, nor shall or may amounts received
hereunder be credited, so that the Lenders shall be paid, as interest, a sum
greater than the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be charged to the
Person primarily obligated to pay such Note at the time in question. If any
construction of this Restated Loan Agreement, any Note or any other Transaction
Document, or any and all other papers, agreements or commitments indicate a
different right given to a Lender to ask for, demand or receive any larger sum
as interest, such is a mistake in calculation or wording that this clause shall
override and control, it being the intention of the parties that this Restated
Loan Agreement, each Note, and all other Transaction Documents or other
documents executed or delivered in connection herewith shall in all things
comply with applicable law and proper adjustments shall automatically be made
accordingly. In the event that any of the Lenders shall ever receive, collect or
apply as interest, any sum in excess of the maximum nonusurious rate permitted
by applicable law (the "Maximum Rate"), if any, such excess amount shall be
applied to the reduction of the unpaid principal balance of the Note held by
such Lender, and if such Note is paid in full, any remaining excess shall be
paid to the Borrower. In determining whether or not the interest paid or
payable, under any specific contingency, exceeds the Maximum Rate, if any, the
Borrower and each of the Lenders shall, to the maximum extent permitted under
applicable law: (a) characterize any nonprincipal payment as an expense or fee
rather than as interest, (b) exclude voluntary prepayments and the effects
thereof, and (c) "spread" the total amount of interest throughout the entire
term of the respective Note; provided that if any Note is paid and performed in
full prior to the end of the full contemplated term hereof, and if the interest
received for the actual period of existence thereof exceeds the Maximum Rate, if
any, the respective Lender shall refund to the Borrower the amount of such
excess, or credit the amount of such excess against the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of all Advances made by such Lender hereunder at the time in
question.
13.8. Right of Offset.
The Borrower hereby grants to each of the Lenders and the
Administrative Agent and to any assignee or participant a right of offset, to
secure the repayment of the Obligations, upon any and all monies, securities or
other Property of the Borrower, and the proceeds therefrom now or hereafter held
or received by or in transit to such Person, from or for the account of the
Borrower, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection or
otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or special, time or
demand, provisional or final) and credits of the Borrower, and any and all
claims of the Borrower against such Person at
93
any time existing. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, such Person is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, without notice to the
Borrower, to offset, appropriate, and apply any and all items hereinabove
referred to against the Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Section
13.8 or elsewhere in this Restated Loan Agreement to the contrary, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders and any assignee or participant shall not
have any right to offset, appropriate or apply any accounts of the Borrower that
consist of escrowed funds (except and to the extent of any beneficial interest
of the Borrower in such escrowed funds) that have been so identified by the
Borrower in writing at the time of deposit thereof.
13.9. Successors and Assigns.
(a) This Restated Loan Agreement and the Lenders' rights
and obligations herein (including ownership of each Advance) shall be assignable
by the Lenders and their successors and assigns to any Eligible Assignee. Each
assignor of an Advance or any interest therein shall notify the Administrative
Agent and the Borrower of any such assignment.
(b) Each Bank may assign to any Eligible Assignee or to
any other Bank all or a portion of its rights and obligations under this
Restated Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, all or a portion of its
Bank Commitment and any Advances or interests therein owned by it), provided
however, that:
(i) each such assignment shall be of a constant,
and not a varying, percentage of all rights and obligations under this
Restated Loan Agreement,
(ii) the amount being assigned pursuant to each
such assignment (determined as of the date of the Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement with respect to such assignment) shall in no event
be less than the lesser of (x) $20,000,000 and (y) all of the assigning
Bank's Bank Commitment,
(iii) the parties to each such assignment shall
execute and deliver to the Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and
recording in the Register, an Assignment and Acceptance Agreement,
together with a processing and recordation fee of $2,500, and
(iv) concurrently with such assignment, such
assignor Bank shall assign to such assignee Bank an equal percentage of
its rights and obligations under the related Liquidity Agreement.
Upon such execution, delivery, acceptance and recording, from
and after the effective date specified in such Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement, (x) the assignee thereunder shall be a party to this Restated Loan
Agreement and, to the extent that rights and obligations hereunder or under this
Restated Loan Agreement have been assigned to it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, have the rights and obligations of a Bank hereunder and
thereunder and (y) the assigning Bank shall, to the extent that rights and
obligations hereunder have been assigned by it pursuant to such Assignment and
Acceptance Agreement, relinquish such rights and be released from such
obligations under this Restated Loan Agreement (and, in the case of an
Assignment and Acceptance Agreement covering all or
94
the remaining portion of an assigning Bank's rights and obligations under this
Restated Loan Agreement, such Bank shall cease to be a party thereto).
(c) The Administrative Agent shall maintain at its
address referred to in Section 13.1 a copy of each Assignment and Acceptance
Agreement delivered to and accepted by it and a register for the recordation of
the names and addresses of the Banks and the Bank Commitment of, and aggregate
outstanding principal of Advances or interests therein owned by, each Bank from
time to time (the "Register"). The entries in the Register shall be conclusive
and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error, and the Borrower, the
Servicer, the Managing Agents, the Administrative Agent and the Banks may treat
each person whose name is recorded in the Register as a Bank under this Restated
Loan Agreement for all purposes of this Restated Loan Agreement. The Register
shall be available for inspection by the Borrower, the Servicer, the Managing
Agents, the Administrative Agent or any Bank at any time and from time to time
upon prior notice.
(d) Each Bank may sell participations, to one or more
banks or other entities that are Eligible Assignees, in or to all or a portion
of its rights and obligations under this Restated Loan Agreement (including,
without limitation, all or a portion of its Bank Commitment and the Advances or
interests therein owned by it); provided, however, that:
(i) such Bank's obligations under this Restated
Loan Agreement (including, without limitation, its Bank Commitment to
the Borrower thereunder) shall remain unchanged,
(ii) such Bank shall remain solely responsible to
the other parties to this Restated Loan Agreement for the performance
of such obligations, and
(iii) concurrently with such participation, the
selling Bank shall sell to such bank or other entity a participation in
an equal percentage of its rights and obligations under the related
Liquidity Agreement.
The Administrative Agent, the other Banks, the Managing Agents, the Servicer and
the Borrower shall have the right to continue to deal solely and directly with
such Bank in connection with such Bank's rights and obligations under this
Restated Loan Agreement.
(e) The Borrower may not assign its rights or obligations
hereunder or any interest herein without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent, each Managing Agent, and each Lender.
(f) The parties hereto acknowledge that Atlantic has
granted to the Atlantic Program Agent for the benefit of holders of its
Commercial Paper Notes, its liquidity banks, and certain other creditors of
Atlantic, a security interest in its right, title and interest in and to the
Advances, the Transaction Documents and the Collateral. Each reference herein or
in any of the other Transaction Documents to the Liens in the Collateral granted
to Atlantic under the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to include a
reference to such security interest of the Atlantic Program Agent.
95
13.10. Survival of Termination.
The provisions of Article X and Sections 2.12, 11.4, 13.14,
13.15 and 13.20 shall survive any termination of this Restated Loan Agreement.
13.11. Exhibits.
The exhibits attached to this Restated Loan Agreement are
incorporated herein and shall be considered a part of this Restated Loan
Agreement for the purposes stated herein, except that in the event of any
conflict between any of the provisions of such exhibits and the provisions of
this Restated Loan Agreement, the provisions of this Restated Loan Agreement
shall prevail.
13.12. Titles of Articles, Sections and Subsections.
All titles or headings to articles, sections, subsections or
other divisions of this Restated Loan Agreement or the exhibits hereto are only
for the convenience of the parties and shall not be construed to have any effect
or meaning with respect to the other content of such articles, sections,
subsections or other divisions, such other content being controlling as to the
agreement between the parties hereto.
13.13. Counterparts.
This Restated Loan Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, and it shall not be necessary that the signatures of each of the
parties hereto be contained on any one counterpart hereof; each counterpart
shall be deemed an original, but all counterparts together shall constitute one
and the same instrument.
13.14. No Proceedings.
The Borrower, the Servicer, the Administrative Agent and each
Bank hereby agrees that it will not institute against the Issuers, or join any
other Person in instituting against the Issuers, any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency, or liquidation proceeding, or other proceeding under
any federal or state bankruptcy or similar law so long as any Commercial Paper
Notes issued by the either of the Issuers shall be outstanding or there shall
not have elapsed one year plus one day since the last day on which any such
Commercial Paper Notes shall have been outstanding. The foregoing shall not
limit the rights of the Borrower, the Servicer, any Managing Agent, the
Administrative Agent or any Bank to file any claim in or otherwise take any
action with respect to any insolvency proceeding that was instituted by any
other Person.
13.15. Confidentiality.
The Borrower and the Servicer each hereby agrees that it will
maintain and cause its respective employees to maintain the confidentiality of
this Restated Loan Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents (and all
drafts thereof), and each Lender, each Managing Agent, and the Administrative
Agent agrees that it will maintain and cause its respective employees to
maintain the confidentiality of the Collateral and all other non-public
information with respect to
96
the Borrower and the Servicer, and their respective businesses obtained by such
party in connection with the structuring, negotiating and execution of the
transactions contemplated herein, in each case except (a) as may be required or

submitted to any municipal, state or Federal regulatory body having or claiming

of, or participant in, any of the rights or obligations of such Lender, or (f)
in the case of any Issuer, any Managing Agent or the Administrative Agent, to
any Person whom any dealer or placement Administrative Agent for either of the
Issuers shall have identified as an actual or potential investor in Commercial
Paper Notes; provided that any proposed recipient under clause (e) or (f) shall,
as a condition to the receipt of any such information, agree to maintain the
confidentiality thereof.
13.16. Recourse Against Directors, Officers, Etc.
The Obligations are solely the corporate obligations of the
Borrower. No recourse for the Obligations shall be had hereunder against any
director, officer, employee (in its capacity as such, and not as Servicer),
trustee, Administrative Agent or any Person owning, directly or indirectly, any
legal or beneficial interest in the Borrower (in its capacity as such owner, and
not as Servicer, Performance Guarantor or otherwise as a party to any
Transaction Document). This Section 13.16 shall not, however, (a) constitute a
waiver, release or impairment of the Obligations, or (b) affect the validity or
enforceability of the Restated Performance Guaranty or any other Transaction
Document to which the Originator, the Servicer, the Performance Guarantor or any
of their Affiliates may be a party.
13.17. Waiver of Jury Trial.
EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS

RELATIONSHIP EXISTING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT, THE NOTES
OR ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING
SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY.
13.18. Consent to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Immunities.
EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT:
97
(a) IT IRREVOCABLY (i) SUBMITS TO THE JURISDICTION,
FIRST, OF ANY UNITED STATES FEDERAL COURT, AND, SECOND, IF FEDERAL JURISDICTION
IS NOT AVAILABLE, OF ANY NEW YORK STATE COURT, IN EITHER CASE SITTING IN NEW
YORK CITY, IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS
RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT, (ii) AGREES THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION
OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED ONLY IN SUCH NEW YORK STATE OR FEDERAL
COURT AND NOT IN ANY OTHER COURT, AND (iii) WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT IT MAY
EFFECTIVELY DO SO, THE DEFENSE OF AN INCONVENIENT FORUM TO MAINTENANCE OF SUCH

(WHETHER THROUGH SERVICE OR NOTICE, ATTACHMENT PRIOR TO JUDGMENT, ATTACHMENT IN
AID TO EXECUTION, EXECUTION OR OTHERWISE) WITH RESPECT TO ITSELF OR ITS
PROPERTY, IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES SUCH IMMUNITY IN RESPECT OF ITS

(including periodic auditing) of this Restated Loan Agreement, the Notes, the
other Transaction Documents, and, to the extent related to this Restated Loan
Agreement, the Program Documents (including any amendments or modifications of
or supplements to the Program Documents entered into in connection herewith),
and any amendments, consents or waivers executed in connection therewith,
including, without limitation, (A) the fees and expenses of counsel to any of
such Persons incurred in connection with any of the foregoing or in advising
such Persons as to their respective rights and remedies under any of the
Transaction Documents or (to the extent related to this Restated Loan Agreement)
the Program Documents, and (B) all out-of-pocket expenses (including fees and
expenses of independent accountants) incurred in connection with any review of
the books and records of the Borrower or the Servicer either prior to the
execution and delivery hereof or pursuant to Section 6.8, and (ii) all costs and
expenses incurred by the Administrative Agent, the Managing Agents and the
Lenders, in connection with the enforcement of, or any actual or claimed breach
of, this Restated Loan Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction Documents
and, to the extent related to this Restated Loan Agreement, the Program
Documents (including any amendments or modifications of or supplements to the
Program Documents entered into in connection herewith), including, without
limitation, the fees and expenses of counsel to any of such Persons incurred in
connection therewith including without limitation, with respect to each
98
Issuer, the cost of rating the Commercial Paper Notes by the Rating Agencies and
the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of counsel to each Issuer; and
(b) all stamp and other taxes and fees payable or
determined to be payable in connection with the execution, delivery, filing and
recording of this Restated Loan Agreement, the Notes, the other Transaction
Documents or (to the extent related to this Restated Loan Agreement) the Program
Documents, and agrees to indemnify each Indemnified Party against any
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay in paying or omission to
pay such taxes and fees.
13.20. Entire Restated Loan Agreement.
THE NOTES, THIS RESTATED LOAN AGREEMENT, AND THE OTHER
TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS EXECUTED AND DELIVERED AS OF EVEN DATE HEREWITH REPRESENT
THE FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO AND THERETO ANY MAY NOT BE
CONTRADICTED BY EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS
OF THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS AMONG THE PARTIES.
13.21. Excess Funds.
An Issuer shall not be obligated to pay any amount pursuant to
this Restated Loan Agreement unless such Issuer has excess cash flow from
operations or has received funds with respect to such obligation which may be
used to make such payment and which funds or excess cash flow are not required
to repay when due its Commercial Paper Note or other short term funding backing
its Commercial Paper Notes. Any amount which such Issuer does not pay pursuant
to the operation of the preceding sentence shall not constitute a claim, as
defined in Section 101(5) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, against such
Issuer for any such insufficiency unless and until such Issuer does have excess
cash flow or excess funds.

Restated Addendum to the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of August 23, 2002
(as amended or restated from time to time, the "Restated Repurchase Agreement")
pursuant to which the Originator may sell to the Borrower, and the Borrower may
acquire from the Originator, certain Mortgage Loans and pursuant to which the
Originator may repurchase those Mortgage Loans.
B. Borrower has entered into an Amended and Restated
Loan Agreement dated as of August 23, 2002 (as amended or restated from time to
time, the "Restated Loan Agreement") with the Administrative Agent, the Managing
Agents parties thereto, the Issuers parties thereto, the Banks party thereto,
and PMC, as Servicer, (in such capacity, the "Servicer"), pursuant to which, and
subject to the terms of which, the Lenders have agreed to make loans to the
Borrower secured by Mortgage Loans and other collateral, and PMC has agreed to
provide certain administration and collection services.
C. It is a condition precedent to the initial purchase
under the Restated Repurchase Agreement and the initial loan under the Restated
Loan Agreement that the Companies shall have entered into this Agreement,
pursuant to which all existing and future obligations of the Originator to Pulte
or to any Affiliate of Pulte or the Originator is subordinated to certain
obligations of the Originator under the Restated Repurchase Agreement and of the
Servicer under the Restated Loan Agreement.
AGREEMENTS
In consideration of the premises and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the
Companies hereby covenant and agree with Borrower and the Administrative Agent
as follows:
1. Terms defined in the Restated Repurchase Agreement or
the Restated Loan Agreement have the same meanings when used in this
Restated Subordination Agreement, except that, solely for the purpose
of this Restated Subordination Agreement, the term "Affiliate", when
used in connection with Pulte, the Companies or the
B-1
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
Originator, shall not include Borrower. As used in this Restated
Subordination Agreement:
"Senior Debt" means all obligations for the payment of money
which are or may become due and owing by (a) the Originator under the
Restated Repurchase Agreement, whether for repurchase prices, fees,
expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or otherwise or
(b) the Servicer, whether for the deposit of collections received by it
or for fees, expenses (including counsel fees), indemnified amounts or
otherwise.
"Subordinated Debt" means all present and future indebtedness
for borrowed money, of the Originator to Pulte or to any Affiliate of
the Originator, the Companies or Pulte, whether (i) principal, interest
(before or after the beginning of any proceedings under any Debtor
Law), premium, court costs, attorneys' fees, or other costs of
collection, (ii) direct, indirect, fixed, contingent, liquidated,
unliquidated, joint, several, or joint and several, (iii) created
directly or acquired by assignment or otherwise, or (iv) whether or not
evidenced in writing.
"Senior Liens" means all present and future security interests
and liens, if any, directly or indirectly securing any Senior Debt.
"Subordinated Liens" means all present and future security
interests and liens, if any, directly or indirectly securing any
Subordinated Debt.
2. Until the Facility Termination Date under the
Restated Repurchase Agreement, the Drawdown Termination Date under the
Restated Loan Agreement and the Seasonal Facility Termination Date
under the Restated Loan Agreement have expired and the Senior Debt has
been paid in full, all Subordinated Debt and the proceeds of all
Subordinated Liens are hereby subordinated to all Senior Debt and the
proceeds of all Senior Liens as provided in this Restated Subordination
Agreement. For purposes hereof, Senior Debt shall not be deemed paid in
full unless it has been paid in full for more than 366 days and such
payment is final and indefeasible and not subject to rescission or
setting aside for any reason whatsoever.
(a) Unless a Default or an Event of Default under the
Restated Repurchase Agreement or (so long as the Originator is the
Servicer) a Servicer Default (each, a "Senior Debt Default") is
continuing, the Companies may receive payments of principal on
Subordinated Debt, and interest accruing on Subordinated Debt at a
reasonable market rate as agreed upon between the Originator and the
Companies.
(b) While a Senior Debt Default is continuing, the
Companies may not receive any payment directly or indirectly related to
any Subordinated Debt or proceeds of any Subordinated Lien.
3. Pulte agrees that (a) all existing and future
obligations of any nature owed
B-2
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
or owing by the Originator to any Affiliates of the Originator or Pulte
shall also be Subordinated Debt and (b) it will cause each such
Affiliate that may provide credit to, or otherwise have obligations
owing to it by, the Originator to subordinate its rights of repayment
and security therefor to the rights of the Senior Debt holders, and the
priorities and rights of the Senior Liens, as herein provided, the same
as if each such Affiliate was a party to this Restated Subordination
Agreement in like capacity to that of Pulte, and for such purpose each
reference to Pulte in this Agreement (other than this paragraph 3)
shall be deemed to refer to such Affiliate.
4. To the extent of the subordination provided in
paragraph 2 above, if any payment or distribution of assets or
securities of the Originator of any kind or character, whether in cash,
property or securities, is made or to be made upon any dissolution or
winding up or total or partial liquidation or reorganization of the
Originator, whether voluntary or involuntary or in bankruptcy,
insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, then and in any such
event, all principal of and interest then due upon all Senior Debt,
whether or not the Senior Debt is then due or matured, shall first be
paid in full, or full payment thereof provided for in money or money's
worth, before a Company, or any trustee or receiver acting on its or
their behalf, shall be entitled to receive any assets or securities
other than (a) shares of stock ("Stock") of the Originator as
reorganized or readjusted or (b) securities ("Subordinated Securities")
of the Originator or any other corporation provided for by a plan of
reorganization or readjustment, junior to (or the payment of which is
subordinated by a written instrument in form and substance satisfactory
to and approved in writing by Borrower and the Administrative Agent, to
the payment of), all Senior Debt which may at the time be outstanding
or contemplated, in payment of, partial or complete compensation for or
otherwise in respect of any of the Subordinated Debt. Upon any such
dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, any payment or
distribution of assets or securities of the Originator of any kind or
character, whether in cash, properties or securities (other than as
aforesaid) which, but for the provisions of this paragraph 4, would
then be made to the Companies or any Affiliate of the Companies shall,
to the extent of the subordination provided in paragraph 2 above,
instead be made by the Originator or by any receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such
payment or distribution, directly to the holder or holders of Senior
Debt, or their representatives, to the extent necessary to pay all
Senior Debt in full, in money or money's worth, after giving effect to
any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior
Debt.
5. If any Company or any Affiliate of the Companies or
anyone else acting on its or their behalf shall receive any payment or
distribution of assets or securities of the Originator of any kind or
character, or for the Originator, whether in cash, property or
securities (other than Stock or Subordinated Securities) before all
Senior Debt is paid in full or full payment thereof is provided for in
money or money's worth to the satisfaction of Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, then and in that event, to the extent of the
subordination provided in paragraph 2 above, the recipient of such
assets or securities of
B-3
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
the Originator so paid or distributed shall pay over and deliver all
such payments and distributions forthwith to the receiver, trustee in
bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person responsible for
making payment or distribution of assets or securities of the
Originator, who shall then pay or distribute such assets or securities
to the holders of the Senior Debt for application to the Senior Debt
remaining unpaid, to the extent necessary to pay all Senior Debt in
full, in money or money's worth, after giving effect to any concurrent
payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Debt. Each
Company or anyone else acting in its behalf will not be required to pay
over and deliver any sums paid to or for the benefit of such Company to
the extent that such payments or distributions were permitted, at the
time paid or distributed, under subparagraph 2(a).
6. Each Company hereby, unconditionally and irrevocably,
waives and releases any and all rights which it now has or may
hereafter acquire to be subrogated to the rights of the holder of the
Senior Debt or to receive payments or distributions of assets or
securities of the Originator applicable to the Senior Debt and to any
of the Senior Liens, either before or after all obligations to the
holders of the Senior Debt shall be paid in full, although no such
payments or distributions applicable to Senior Debt shall (as between
the Originator, its creditors other than holders of the Senior Debt and
the Companies) be deemed to be a payment by the Originator to or on
account of its obligations to the Companies or any Affiliate of the
Companies. The provisions of this paragraph 6 are (and are intended
solely) for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the
Companies or any Affiliate of the Companies, on the one hand, and the
holders of Senior Debt, on the other hand, and nothing contained in
this paragraph 6 or elsewhere in this Agreement is intended to impair,
or shall impair, as between the Originator and the Companies or any
Affiliate of the Companies, the obligations of the Originator to the
Companies or any Affiliate of the Companies or to affect (except to the
extent specifically provided above in this paragraph 6) the relative
rights of the Companies, the Affiliates of the Companies and creditors
of the Originator other than the holders of Senior Debt. Nothing herein
contained shall prevent the Companies or any Affiliate of the Companies
from exercising all remedies otherwise permitted by applicable law,
upon default under the Originator' obligations to the Companies or the
Affiliates of the Companies, subject to the rights under this Restated
Subordination Agreement of the holders of Senior Debt in respect of
assets or securities of the Originator of any kind of character,
whether cash, property or securities, received upon the exercise of any
such remedy.
7. Before the time of the occurrence of any Senior Debt
Default, the Companies and the Affiliates of the Companies shall have
the right to receive and retain payments on Subordinated Debt to the
extent provided in paragraph 2 hereof; however, automatically and
without any requirement for notice or any other action by Borrower or
the Administrative Agent, from and after the occurrence of any Senior
Debt Default and until Borrower and the Administrative Agent shall have
declared in writing that such Senior Debt Default has been cured or
waived or ceased to exist or that the Senior Debt has been fully paid
and satisfied, no payment shall be made, directly or indirectly, by the
B-4
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
Originator or with any of its funds, or accepted by such Company or any
Affiliate of such Company on, against or on account of any of the
Subordinated Debt, and no remedies against the Originator or any of its
property or interests shall be enforced by or for the account of such
Company or any Affiliate of such Company.
8. From and after the date of maturity (however it may
occur or be brought about), and until such Senior Debt so matured shall
have been fully paid and satisfied, all of such matured Senior Debt
shall first be paid in full before any payment or distribution is made
by Originator or accepted by the Companies or any Affiliate of the
Companies on, against or on account of any Subordinated Debt and before
any remedy against either Originator or any of its property or
interests may be enforced.
9. The subordination provided for in this Restated
Subordination Agreement is unconditional, and no right of any present
or future holder of any Senior Debt to enforce subordination as herein
provided shall at any time or in any way be prejudiced or impaired by
any act or failure to act on the part of the Originator or the
Companies or any Affiliate of the Companies or by any act or failure to
act by any holder of any Senior Debt or Borrower or the Administrative
Agent or by any noncompliance by the Originator or the Companies or any
Affiliate of the Companies with the terms, provisions and covenants of
the Transaction Documents, regardless of any knowledge thereof any such
holder might have or be chargeable or charged with. The obligations of
the Companies are unconditional irrespective of the validity or
enforceability or collectibility of the Senior Debt or any other
circumstance whatsoever which might constitute a legal or equitable
defense of a guarantor or of the Companies hereunder, any and all such
defenses being hereby expressly waived by the Companies.
10. Borrower or the Administrative Agent or any other
holder of Senior Debt may, at any time without the consent of or notice
to the Companies or any other holder of Subordinated Debt, without
incurring responsibility to the Companies or such other holder of
Subordinated Debt, without impairing or releasing the terms or
obligations of this Restated Subordination Agreement, upon or without
any terms or conditions and in whole or in part:
(1) change the manner, place or terms of payment or
change or extend the time of payment of, renew, increase or alter any
Senior Debt and the subordinations herein made and provided for shall
apply to the Senior Debt as so changed, extended, increased, renewed or
altered in any manner;
(2) sell, exchange, release, surrender, realize upon or
otherwise deal with in any manner and in any order any property at any
time pledged or mortgaged to secure or securing the Senior Debt or any
offset against any Senior Debt;
(3) exercise, delay exercising or refrain from exercising
any rights against the Originator or others, or otherwise act or
refrain from acting;
B-5
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
(4) settle or compromise any Senior Debt.
Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the contrary, or any
prior termination hereof, this Agreement and the obligations of the
Companies hereunder shall be automatically reinstated if at any time
any payment, settlement or compromise of any of the Senior Debt is
rescinded, set aside or vacated by a Governmental Authority or required
to be returned or repaid to the Originator or any Person on its behalf
for any reason whatsoever. No delay on the part of Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any other holder of Senior Debt in exercising
any right under this or any other agreement, including the Transaction
Documents, or failure to exercise any such right shall operate as a
waiver of such right. In no event shall any modification or waiver of
the provisions of this Restated Subordination Agreement be effective
unless in writing, nor shall any such waiver be applicable except in
the specific instance for which it may be given.
Each Company, for itself and all other present and future
holders of Subordinated Debt (including, without limitation,
Subordinated Debt held or originated by Affiliates of the Originator
other than such Company), agrees to execute and deliver to Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and to any other holder or holders of Senior
Debt requesting it, such further instruments, and to take such other
action, as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of
Borrower, the Administrative Agent or such other holder or holders of
Senior Debt, and upon request of Borrower, the Administrative Agent or
such other holder or holders, to fully effectuate the subordinations
provided for in this Restated Subordination Agreement and in accordance
with its terms.
11. This Restated Subordination Agreement shall bind and
benefit the parties hereto and their respective successors, custodians,
receivers, trustees and assigns, and the provisions of this Restated
Subordination Agreement shall be enforceable by Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or directly by the holders of Senior Debt.
Borrower (and any assignee of Borrower) may at any time assign any and
all of its rights hereunder to any other person or entity without the
consent of any of the Companies, whereupon (i) each reference herein to
Borrower shall mean and be a reference to such assignee and (ii) such
assignee may enforce this Restated Subordination Agreement to the
fullest extent as if it were a named party hereto. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, each Company acknowledges and consents to
the assignment by Borrower, under and in connection with the Restated
Loan Agreement, of all of Borrower's right, title and interest in, to
and under this Restated Subordination Agreement to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders, and each Company agrees that at
all times that the Restated Loan Agreement shall be in effect (i) any
claim made by Borrower hereunder shall be deemed made for the benefit
of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders and (ii) any payment or
remittance to be made hereunder by any Company in respect of any claim
being made by or in respect of Borrower or Senior Debt due to Borrower
under the Restated Repurchase Agreement shall be paid or remitted to
the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF
NEW YORK (WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES
THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS 5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL
OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY HERETO). Neither acceptance nor
execution of this Restated Subordination Agreement by Borrower, the
Administrative Agent or any holder of Senior Debt shall be necessary to
cause this Restated Subordination Agreement to be or remain in full
force and effect from and after the date of its execution and delivery
by the Companies to Borrower and the Administrative Agent, and each
Company's obligations under this Restated Subordination Agreement are
unconditional. This Restated Subordination Agreement may not be revoked
or amended except by an instrument in writing executed by each Company,
Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Any holder of Senior Debt may at
any time and without notice waive in whole or in part any provision of
this Restated Subordination Agreement as to all or part of the Senior
Debt held by such holder (but may not affect or impair the rights of
any other holder of Senior Debt), but no such waiver shall be effective
unless expressly stated in a writing signed by such holder.
13. THIS RESTATED SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT REPRESENTS THE
FINAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND MAY NOT BE CONTRADICTED BY
EVIDENCE OF PRIOR, CONTEMPORANEOUS, OR SUBSEQUENT ORAL AGREEMENTS BY
THE PARTIES. THERE ARE NO UNWRITTEN ORAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE
PARTIES.

terms, conditions and indemnities to be performed and observed by Pulte
Mortgage solely in its capacity as "Servicer" under and pursuant to the
Restated Loan Agreement and each other document executed and delivered
by Pulte Mortgage as "Servicer" pursuant to the Restated Loan

of the Lenders, (v) any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds
thereof, to all or any of the Obligations, or any manner of sale or other
disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Obligations or any other
assets of Pulte Mortgage, (vi) any change, restructuring or termination of the
corporate structure or existence of Pulte Mortgage, or (vii) any other
circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a
discharge of, Pulte Mortgage or a guarantor. In the event that performance of
any of the Obligations is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of Pulte Mortgage, or for any other reason, all such Obligations
shall be immediately performed by the Performance Guarantor.
Section 3. Performance Guarantor's Further Agreements to Pay.
The Performance Guarantor further agrees, in the event the Performance Guarantor
fails to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, to pay to the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders, forthwith upon demand all reasonable costs
and expenses (including court costs and legal expenses) incurred or expended by
the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in connection with the enforcement of
this Guaranty.
Section 4. Waivers by Performance Guarantor; Administrative
Agent's and Lenders' Freedom to Act. The Performance Guarantor waives notice of
(a) acceptance of this Guaranty, (b) any action taken or omitted by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender in reliance on this Guaranty, and (c) any
requirement that the Administrative Agent or the Lenders be diligent or prompt
in making demands under this Guaranty, giving notice of any Default, Event of
Default or Servicer Default, default or omission by Pulte Mortgage or asserting
any other rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender under this Guaranty.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Performance Guarantor
also irrevocably waives all defenses that at any time may be available in
respect of the Obligations by virtue of any statute of limitations, valuation,
stay, moratorium law or other similar law now or thereafter in effect.
The Administrative Agent shall be at liberty, upon its own initiative
or at the request of the Majority Banks, without giving notice to or obtaining
the assent of the Performance Guarantor and without relieving the Performance
Guarantor of any liability under this Guaranty, to deal with Pulte Mortgage and
with each other party who now is or after the date hereof becomes liable in any
manner for any of the Obligations, in such manner as the Administrative Agent in
its sole discretion deems fit or the Majority Banks in their sole discretion
deem fit, and to this end the Performance Guarantor agrees that the validity and
enforceability of this Guaranty, including without limitation, the provisions of
Section 8 hereof, shall not be impaired or affected by any of the following: (a)
any extension, modification or renewal of, or indulgence with respect to, or
substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement relating
G-1-3
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce any right, power or
remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof or any agreement

thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any Default, Event
of Default, Servicer Default or default with respect to the Obligations or any
part thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender,
compromise, settlement, waiver, subordination or modification, with or without
consideration, of any other obligation of any person or entity with respect to
the Obligations or any part thereof; (e) the enforceability or validity of the
Obligations or any part thereof or the genuineness, enforceability or validity
of any agreement relating thereto or with respect to the Obligations or any part
thereof; (f) the application of payments received from any source to the payment
of any payment Obligations of Pulte Mortgage, any part thereof or amounts which
are not covered by this Guaranty even though the Administrative Agent or the
Lenders might lawfully have elected to apply such payments to any part or all of
the payment Obligations of Pulte Mortgage or to amounts which are not covered by
this Guaranty; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or other rights which the
Performance Guarantor may have at any time against Pulte Mortgage in connection
herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment or transfer of the
Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the part of Pulte
Mortgage to perform or comply with any term of the Restated Loan Agreement or
any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered thereunder, all
whether or not the Performance Guarantor shall have had notice or knowledge of
any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a) through (i) of this
Section.
Section 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Pulte
Mortgage. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of Pulte Mortgage or the
insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of Pulte
Mortgage; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or
other governmental act which does or might impair, delay or in any way affect
the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (c) the
failure of Pulte Mortgage or the Performance Guarantor to maintain in full
force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental
and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the
Obligations or this Guaranty, or to take any other action required in connection
with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this
Guaranty; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become
unrecoverable from Pulte Mortgage for any reason other than final payment in
full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Guaranty
shall nevertheless be binding on the Performance Guarantor. This Guaranty shall
be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and
it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other
guaranty or security.
Section 6. Representations and Warranties.
Section 6.1. Existence and Standing. The Performance Guarantor
is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite corporate

conducted.
G-1-4
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
Section 6.2. Authorization; Validity. The Performance
Guarantor has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Guaranty, perform its obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions
herein contemplated. The execution and delivery by the Performance Guarantor of
this Guaranty, the performance of its obligations and consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by proper
corporate proceedings, and this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Performance Guarantor enforceable against the
Performance Guarantor in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may

of creditors' rights generally and by general equity principles (whether
considered as a proceeding at law or in equity).
Section 6.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the
execution and delivery by the Performance Guarantor of this Guaranty, nor the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the
provisions hereof will contravene or conflict with any law, rule, regulation,
order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Performance
Guarantor or any of the other Pulte Entities, except where such contravention or
conflict would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or
the Performance Guarantor's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or the
provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Performance
Guarantor is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound,
except where such contravention or conflict would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien in, of or on the property of the Performance Guarantor or any of its
subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or
agreement.
Section 6.4. Financial Statements. The consolidated financial
statements of the Performance Guarantor and its subsidiaries, heretofore
delivered to the Lenders were prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and
fairly present the consolidated financial condition and operations of the
Performance Guarantor and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated
results of their operations for the period then ended.
Section 6.5. Material Adverse Change. Since June 30, 2002,
there has been no change in the business, properties, financial condition or
results of operations of the Performance Guarantor and its Subsidiaries which is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on (i) the business,
properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Performance
Guarantor and the other Pulte Entities taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the
Performance Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (iii)

paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any
G-1-5
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
assessment received by the Performance Guarantor or any of the other Pulte
Entities, except such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as
to which adequate reserves have been provided. No tax liens have been filed
which are reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on (i) the
business, properties, financial condition or results of operations of the
Performance Guarantor and the other Pulte Entities taken as a whole, (ii) the
ability of the Performance Guarantor to perform its obligations under this
Guaranty, or (iii) the validity or enforceability of any portion of this
Guaranty or the rights or remedies of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders
hereunder, and no claims are being asserted in writing with respect to any such
taxes. The charges, accruals and reserves on the books of the Performance
Guarantor and the other Pulte Entities in respect of any taxes or other
governmental charges are adequate.
Section 6.7. Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is
no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry
pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or

likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on (i) the business, properties,
financial condition or results of operations of the Performance Guarantor and
the other Pulte Entities taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the Performance
Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (iii) the validity
or enforceability of any portion of this Guaranty or the rights or remedies of
the Administrative Agent or the Lenders hereunder. The Performance Guarantor has
no material contingent obligations not provided for or disclosed in the
financial statements referred to in Section 6.4.
Section 7. Covenants. The Performance Guarantor hereby
covenants and agrees for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders, until the Obligations have been satisfied in full and the Restated Loan
Agreement has been terminated, as follows:
(a) to promptly notify PFI upon (i) any dispute between
the Performance Guarantor and any Governmental Authority or any other
Person that, if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse
Effect; (ii) any material adverse change in the business, operations or
financial condition of the Performance Guarantor, including, without
limitation, such Performance Guarantor's insolvency; (iii) any event or
condition known to it that, if adversely determined, would have a
Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) the receipt of any notice of any
final judgment or order for payment of money applicable to the
Performance Guarantor in excess of $10,000,000;
(b) to pay and discharge promptly all taxes, assessments
and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income
or upon any of its Property as well as all claims of any kind
(including claims for labor, materials, supplies and rent) that, if
unpaid, might become a Lien upon any or all of its Property; provided,
however, the Performance Guarantor shall not be required to pay any
such tax, assessment, charge, levy or claim if the amount,
applicability or validity thereof shall currently be contested in good
faith by appropriate proceedings diligently conducted by it or on its
behalf and if it shall have set up reserves therefor adequate under
GAAP;
G-1-6
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
(c) to maintain its corporate existence, rights and
franchises; and
(d) to observe and comply in all material respects with
all Governmental Requirements.
Section 8. Subrogation; Subordination. The Performance
Guarantor shall not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to
any of the rights of the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against Pulte
Mortgage, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full;
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, until the Obligations
have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Performance Guarantor hereby waives all
rights of subrogation (whether contractual, under Section 509 of the United
States Bankruptcy Code, at law or in equity or otherwise) to the claims of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender against Pulte Mortgage and all contractual,
statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution, reimbursement,
indemnification and similar rights and "claims" (as that term is defined in the
United States Bankruptcy Code) which the Performance Guarantor might now have or
hereafter acquire against Pulte Mortgage that arises from the existence or
performance of the Performance Guarantor's obligations hereunder; until the
Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the Performance Guarantor will
not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim against Pulte Mortgage in
respect of any liability of the Performance Guarantor to Pulte Mortgage; and the
Performance Guarantor waives any benefit of and any right to participate in any
collateral security which may be held by the Administrative Agent or any Lender.
Unless otherwise provided for in the Restated Subordination Agreement, the
payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money
of Pulte Mortgage now or thereafter owed to the Performance Guarantor is hereby
subordinated to the prior payment in full of all of the Obligations. The
Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence, and during the
continuation, of any default in the payment or performance of any of the
Obligations, the Performance Guarantor will not demand, xxx for or otherwise
attempt to collect any such indebtedness of Pulte Mortgage to the Performance
Guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in
full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Performance Guarantor
shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness
while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall
be collected, enforced and received by the Performance Guarantor as trustee for
the Lenders and be paid over to the Administrative Agent on account of the
Obligations without affecting in any manner the liability of the Performance
Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty. The provisions of this
Section 8 shall be supplemental to and not in derogation of any rights and
remedies of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders under any separate
subordination agreement which the Administrative Agent and the Lenders may at
any time and from time to time enter into with the Performance Guarantor.
Section 9. Termination of Guaranty. The Performance
Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until
all Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full and the Restated Loan
Agreement is terminated; provided, however, that this Guaranty shall continue to
be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time payment
or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be restored
G-1-7
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
or returned upon the bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of Pulte
Mortgage, or otherwise, as though such payment had not been made or other
satisfaction occurred, whether or not the Administrative Agent is in possession
of this Guaranty. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability by reason of
the Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any law or order
of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or otherwise
affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim against
the obligations of the Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Section 10. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Guaranty shall survive
the insolvency of Pulte Mortgage and the commencement of any case or proceeding
by or against Pulte Mortgage under the federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal,
state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No
automatic stay under the federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal, state or
other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which
Pulte Mortgage is subject shall postpone the obligations of the Performance
Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Section 11. Setoff. Regardless of the other means of obtaining
payment of any of the Obligations, each of the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders is hereby authorized at any time and from time to time during the
existence of a Servicer Default, without notice to the Performance Guarantor
(any such notice being expressly waived by the Performance Guarantor) and to the
fullest extent permitted by law, to set off and apply such deposits and other
sums against the obligations of the Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty,
whether or not the Administrative Agent and the Lenders shall have made any
demand under this Guaranty and although such obligations may be contingent or
unmatured.
Section 12. Taxes. All payments to be made by the Performance
Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or
withholding. If the Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any
deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment,
the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent
necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, the
Administrative Agent and the Lenders receive a net sum equal to the sum which
they would have received had no deduction or withholding been made.
Section 13. Further Assurances. The Performance Guarantor
agrees that it will permit the Administrative Agent and the Lenders or any of
their duly authorized representatives, during normal business hours, and upon
reasonable notice to consult and discuss with the Performance Guarantor's
Treasurer or Controller, with respect to the Performance Guarantor's business,
finances, accounts and affairs. The Performance Guarantor agrees that it will
from time to time, at the request of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders,
provide to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders information relating to the
business and affairs of the Performance Guarantor as the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may reasonably request. The Performance Guarantor also agrees to
do all such things and execute all such documents as the Administrative Agent
and the Lenders may reasonably consider necessary or desirable to
G-1-8
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
give full effect to this Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and
powers of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders hereunder.
Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be
binding upon the Performance Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders and their successors, transferees and assigns. The Performance Guarantor
may not assign or transfer any of its obligations hereunder without the prior
written consent of each of the Lenders.
Section 15. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Performance
Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the Administrative Agent and the Performance Guarantor. No failure on
the part of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
Section 16. Notices. All notices and other communications
called for hereunder shall be made in writing and, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly made or given when delivered
by hand or mailed first class, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telegraphic,
telecopied or telexed notice, when transmitted, answer back received, addressed
as follows: if to the Performance Guarantor, at the address set forth beneath
its signature hereto, and if to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders at its
address specified in the Restated Loan Agreement, or at such other address as
either party may designate in writing to the other.
SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS
5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY
HERETO).
SECTION 18. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED
STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE RESTATED
LOAN AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR
DELIVERED THEREUNDER AND THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES
THAT ALL CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND
DETERMINED IN ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR
HEREAFTER HAVE AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY
G-1-9
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN
INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE RIGHT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE
AGENT, ANY MANAGING AGENT OR ANY LENDER TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE
PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
Section 19. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty constitutes the
entire agreement of the Performance Guarantor with respect to the matters set
forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this
Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security
for any of the Obligations. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and
in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or
federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights
of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Performance Guarantor
hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or
unenforceable on account of the amount of the Performance Guarantor's liability
under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this Guaranty
to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any further action
by the Performance Guarantor, the Administrative Agent or any Lender, be
automatically limited and reduced to the highest amount that is valid and
enforceable as determined in such action or proceeding. The invalidity or
unenforceability of any one or more sections of this Guaranty shall not affect
the validity or enforceability of its remaining provisions. Captions are for the
ease of reference only and shall not affect the meaning of the relevant
provisions. The meanings of all defined terms used in this Guaranty shall be
equally applicable to the singular and plural forms of the terms defined.

punctual payment and performance by Pulte Mortgage of the Obligations.
This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of
the full and punctual performance of all of the Obligations and is in no way
conditioned upon any requirement that PFI first take any action against Pulte

structure or existence of Pulte Mortgage, or (vii) any other circumstance which
might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, Pulte

is stayed upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of Pulte Mortgage,
or for any other reason, all such Obligations shall be immediately performed by
the Performance Guarantor.
Section 3. Performance Guarantor's Further Agreements to Pay.
The Performance Guarantor further agrees, in the event the Performance Guarantor

respect to, or substitutions for, the Obligations or any part thereof or any
agreement relating thereto at any time; (b) any failure or omission to enforce
any right, power or remedy with respect to the Obligations or any part thereof
or any agreement relating thereto, or any collateral securing the Obligations or
any part thereof; (c) any waiver of any right, power or remedy or of any
Default, Event of Default, default with respect to the Obligations or any part
thereof or any agreement relating thereto; (d) any release, surrender,

any part or all of the payment Obligations of Pulte Mortgage or to amounts which
are not covered by this Guaranty; (g) the existence of any claim, setoff or
other rights which the Performance Guarantor may have at any time against Pulte
Mortgage in connection herewith or any unrelated transaction; (h) any assignment
or transfer of the Obligations or any part thereof; or (i) any failure on the
part of Pulte Mortgage to perform or comply with any term of the Repurchase
Agreement or any other document executed in connection therewith or delivered
thereunder, all whether or not the Performance Guarantor shall have had notice
or knowledge of any act or omission referred to in the foregoing clauses (a)
through (i) of this Section.
Section 5. Unenforceability of Obligations Against Pulte
Mortgage. Notwithstanding (a) any change of ownership of Pulte Mortgage or the
insolvency, bankruptcy or any other change in the legal status of Pulte
Mortgage; (b) the change in or the imposition of any law, decree, regulation or

the validity, enforceability or the payment when due of the Obligations; (c) the
failure of Pulte Mortgage or the Performance Guarantor to maintain in full
force, validity or effect or to obtain or renew when required all governmental
and other approvals, licenses or consents required in connection with the
Obligations or this Guaranty, or to take any other action required in connection
with the performance of all obligations pursuant to the Obligations or this
Guaranty; or (d) if any of the moneys included in the Obligations have become
unrecoverable from Pulte Mortgage for any reason other than final payment in
full of the payment Obligations in accordance with their terms, this Guaranty
shall nevertheless be binding on the Performance Guarantor. This Guaranty shall
be in addition to any other guaranty or other security for the Obligations, and
it shall not be rendered unenforceable by the invalidity of any such other
guaranty or security.
Section 6. Representations and Warranties.
Section 6.1. Existence and Standing. The Performance Guarantor
is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation and has all requisite corporate
authority to conduct its business in each jurisdiction in which its business is
conducted.
Section 6.2. Authorization; Validity. The Performance
Guarantor has the corporate power and authority to execute and deliver this
Guaranty, perform its obligations hereunder and consummate the transactions
herein contemplated. The execution and delivery by the Performance Guarantor of
this Guaranty, the performance of its obligations and consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereunder have been duly authorized by proper
corporate proceedings, and this Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Performance Guarantor enforceable against the
Performance Guarantor in accordance with
G-2-4
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by
general equity principles (whether considered as a proceeding at law or in
equity).
Section 6.3. No Conflict; Government Consent. Neither the
execution and delivery by the Performance Guarantor of this Guaranty, nor the
consummation of the transactions herein contemplated, nor compliance with the
provisions hereof will contravene or conflict with any law, rule, regulation,
order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree or award binding on the Performance
Guarantor or any of the other Pulte Entities, except where such contravention or
conflict would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, or the
Performance Guarantor's certificate of incorporation or by-laws or the
provisions of any indenture, instrument or agreement to which the Performance
Guarantor is a party or is subject, or by which it, or its property, is bound,
except where such contravention or conflict would not reasonably be expected to
have a Material Adverse Effect, or result in the creation or imposition of any
Lien in, of or on the property of the Performance Guarantor or any of its
Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any such indenture, instrument or
agreement.
Section 6.4. Financial Statements. The consolidated financial
statements of the Performance Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, heretofore
delivered to PFI were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles in effect on the date such statements were prepared and fairly
present the consolidated financial condition and operations of the Performance
Guarantor and its Subsidiaries at such date and the consolidated results of
their operations for the period then ended.
Section 6.5. Material Adverse Change. Since June 30, 2002,
there has been no change in the business, properties, financial condition or
results of operations of the Performance Guarantor and its Subsidiaries which is
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on (i) the business,
properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Performance
Guarantor and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the
Performance Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (iii)
the validity or enforceability of any portion of this Guaranty or the rights or
remedies of PFI hereunder.
Section 6.6. Taxes. The Performance Guarantor and the other
Pulte Entities have filed all United States federal tax returns and all other
tax returns which are required to be filed, except where the failure to file
would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and have
paid all taxes due pursuant to said returns or pursuant to any assessment
received by the Performance Guarantor or any of the other Pulte Entities, except
such taxes, if any, as are being contested in good faith and as to which
adequate reserves have been provided. No tax liens have been filed which are
reasonably likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on (i) the business,
properties, financial condition or results of operations of the Performance
Guarantor and the other Pulte Entities taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the
Performance Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (iii)
the validity or enforceability of any portion of this Guaranty or the rights or
remedies of PFI hereunder, and no claims are being asserted in writing with
respect to any such taxes. The charges, accruals and
G-2-5
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
reserves on the books of the Performance Guarantor and the other Pulte Entities
in respect of any taxes or other governmental charges are adequate.
Section 6.7. Litigation and Contingent Obligations. There is
no litigation, arbitration, governmental investigation, proceeding or inquiry
pending or, to the knowledge of any of their officers, threatened against or
affecting the Performance Guarantor or its Subsidiaries which is reasonably
likely to have a Material Adverse Effect on (i) the business, properties,
financial condition or results of operations of the Performance Guarantor and
the other Pulte Entities taken as a whole, (ii) the ability of the Performance
Guarantor to perform its obligations under this Guaranty, or (iii) the validity
or enforceability of any of this Guaranty or the rights or remedies of PFI
hereunder. The Performance Guarantor has no material contingent obligations not
provided for or disclosed in the financial statements referred to in Section
6.4.
Section 7. Covenants. The Performance Guarantor hereby
covenants and agrees for the benefit of PFI, until the Obligations have been
satisfied in full and the Repurchase Agreement and the Restated Loan Agreement
have been terminated, as follows:
(a) to promptly notify PFI upon (i) any dispute between the
Performance Guarantor and any Governmental Authority or any other Person that,
if adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect; (ii) any material
adverse change in the business, operations or financial condition of the
Performance Guarantor, including, without limitation, such Performance
Guarantor's insolvency; (iii) any event or condition known to it that, if
adversely determined, would have a Material Adverse Effect; and (iv) the receipt
of any notice of any final judgment or order for payment of money applicable to
the Performance Guarantor in excess of $10,000,000;
(b) to comply with (a) all applicable laws, rules, regulations and
orders, and (b) material agreements, indentures, mortgages and corporate
documents, except to the extent that the failure so to comply would not be
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
(c) to maintain its corporate existence, rights and franchises;
and
(d) observe and comply in all material respects with all
Governmental Requirements.
Section 8. Subrogation; Subordination. The Performance
Guarantor shall not enforce or otherwise exercise any right of subrogation to
any of the rights of PFI against Pulte Mortgage, until the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full; notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, until the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full, the
Performance Guarantor hereby waives all rights of subrogation (whether
contractual, under Section 509 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, at law or
in equity or otherwise) to the claims of PFI against Pulte Mortgage and all
contractual, statutory or legal or equitable rights of contribution,
reimbursement, indemnification and similar rights and "claims" (as that term is
defined in the United States Bankruptcy Code) which the Performance Guarantor
might now have or hereafter acquire against Pulte Mortgage that arises from the
existence or performance of the Performance Guarantor's obligations hereunder;
the Performance Guarantor will not claim any setoff, recoupment or counterclaim
against Pulte Mortgage in respect of any liability of the
G-2-6
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
Performance Guarantor to Pulte Mortgage, until any of the Obligations have been
indefeasibly paid in full; and the Performance Guarantor waives any benefit of
and any right to participate in any collateral security which may be held by
PFI. Unless otherwise provided for in the Restated Subordination Agreement, the
payment of any amounts due with respect to any indebtedness for borrowed money
of Pulte Mortgage now or thereafter owed to the Performance Guarantor is hereby
subordinated to the prior payment in full of all the Obligations. The
Performance Guarantor agrees that, after the occurrence, and during the
continuation, of any default in the payment or performance of any of the
Obligations, the Performance Guarantor will not demand, xxx for or otherwise
attempt to collect any such indebtedness of Pulte Mortgage to the Performance
Guarantor until all of the Obligations shall have been paid and performed in
full. If, notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Performance Guarantor
shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect of such indebtedness
while any Obligations are still unperformed or outstanding, such amounts shall
be collected, enforced and received by the Performance Guarantor as trustee for
PFI and be paid over to PFI on account of the Obligations without affecting in
any manner the liability of the Performance Guarantor under the other provisions
of this Guaranty. The provisions of this Section 8 shall be supplemental to and
not in derogation of any rights and remedies of PFI under any separate
subordination agreement that PFI may at any time and from time to time enter
into with the Performance Guarantor.
Section 9. Termination of Guaranty. The Performance
Guarantor's obligations hereunder shall continue in full force and effect until
all Obligations are finally paid and satisfied in full and the Repurchase
Agreement and Restated Loan Agreement are terminated; provided, however, that
this Guaranty shall continue to be effective or shall be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time payment or other satisfaction of any of the Obligations
is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned upon the bankruptcy,
insolvency, or reorganization of Pulte Mortgage, or otherwise, as though such
payment had not been made or other satisfaction occurred, whether or not PFI is
in possession of this Guaranty. No invalidity, irregularity or unenforceability
by reason of the Bankruptcy Code or any insolvency or other similar law, or any
law or order of any government or agency thereof purporting to reduce, amend or
otherwise affect the Obligations shall impair, affect, be a defense to or claim
against the obligations of the Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Section 10. Effect of Bankruptcy. This Guaranty shall survive
the insolvency of Pulte Mortgage and the commencement of any case or proceeding
by or against Pulte Mortgage under the federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal,
state or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes. No
automatic stay under the federal Bankruptcy Code or other federal, state or
other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statutes to which
Pulte Mortgage is subject shall postpone the obligations of the Performance
Guarantor under this Guaranty.
Section 11. Setoff. PFI is not authorized at any time to set
off and apply any deposits or other sums against the obligations of the
Performance Guarantor under this Guaranty.
G-2-7
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
Section 12. Taxes. All payments to be made by the Performance
Guarantor hereunder shall be made free and clear of any deduction or
withholding. If the Performance Guarantor is required by law to make any
deduction or withholding on account of tax or otherwise from any such payment,
the sum due from it in respect of such payment shall be increased to the extent
necessary to ensure that, after the making of such deduction or withholding, PFI
receives a net sum equal to the sum which it would have received had no
deduction or withholding been made.
Section 13. Further Assurances. The Performance Guarantor
agrees that it will permit PFI or any of its duly authorized representatives,
during normal business hours, and upon reasonable notice to consult and discuss
with the Performance Guarantor's Treasurer or Controller, with respect to the
Performance Guarantor's business, finances, accounts and affairs. The
Performance Guarantor agrees that it will from time to time, at the request of
PFI, provide to PFI information relating to the business and affairs of the
Performance Guarantor as PFI may reasonably request. The Performance Guarantor
also agrees to do all such things and execute all such documents as PFI may
reasonably consider necessary or desirable to give full effect to this Guaranty
and to perfect and preserve the rights and powers of PFI hereunder.
Section 14. Successors and Assigns. This Guaranty shall be
binding upon the Performance Guarantor, its successors and assigns, and shall
inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by PFI and its successors,
transferees and assigns. The Performance Guarantor may not assign or transfer
any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of PFI.
PFI (and any assignee of PFI) may at any time assign any and all of its
rights hereunder to any other person or entity without the consent of the
Performance Guarantor or Pulte Mortgage, whereupon (i) each reference herein to
PFI shall mean and be a reference to such assignee and (ii) such assignee may
enforce the Guaranty to the fullest extent as if it were a named party hereto.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Performance Guarantor
acknowledges and consents to the assignment by PFI, under and in connection with
the Restated Loan Agreement, of all of PFI's right, title and interest in, to
and under this Guaranty to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the
Lenders, and the Performance Guarantor agrees that at all times that the
Restated Loan Agreement shall be in effect (i) any claim made by PFI hereunder
shall be deemed made for the benefit of the Administrative Agent and Lenders and
(ii) any payment or remittance to be made hereunder by the Performance Guarantor
in respect of any claim being made by or in respect of PFI or PFI's interest
under the Repurchase Agreement shall be paid or remitted to the Administrative
Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.
Section 15. Amendments and Waivers. No amendment or waiver of
any provision of this Guaranty nor consent to any departure by the Performance
Guarantor therefrom shall be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by PFI and the Performance Guarantor. No failure on the part of PFI to
exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a
waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of
G-2-8
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
any right hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right.
Section 16. Notices. All notices and other communications
called for hereunder shall be made in writing and, unless otherwise specifically
provided herein, shall be deemed to have been duly made or given when delivered
by hand or mailed first class, postage prepaid, or, in the case of telegraphic,
telecopied or telexed notice, when transmitted, answer back received, addressed
as follows: if to the Performance Guarantor, at the address set forth beneath
its signature hereto, and if to PFI at its address specified in the Repurchase
Agreement, or at such other address as either party may designate in writing to
the other.
SECTION 17. GOVERNING LAW. THIS GUARANTY SHALL BE GOVERNED BY,
AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK (WITHOUT
GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF, OTHER THAN SECTIONS
5-1401 AND 5-1402 OF THE NEW YORK GENERAL OBLIGATIONS LAW WHICH SHALL APPLY
HERETO).
SECTION 18. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR
HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE NON-EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF ANY UNITED
STATES FEDERAL OR NEW YORK STATE COURT SITTING IN NEW YORK, NEW YORK IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS GUARANTY, THE REPURCHASE
AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER DOCUMENT EXECUTED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH OR DELIVERED
THEREUNDER AND THE PERFORMANCE GUARANTOR HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AGREES THAT ALL
CLAIMS IN RESPECT OF SUCH ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE HEARD AND DETERMINED IN
ANY SUCH COURT AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE
AS TO THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT
OR THAT SUCH COURT IS AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL LIMIT THE
RIGHT OF PFI OR ANY OF ITS ASSIGNS TO BRING PROCEEDINGS AGAINST THE PERFORMANCE
GUARANTOR IN THE COURTS OF ANY OTHER JURISDICTION.
Section 19. Miscellaneous. This Guaranty constitutes the
entire agreement of the Performance Guarantor with respect to the matters set
forth herein. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not
exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and this
Guaranty shall be in addition to any other guaranty of or collateral security
for any of the Obligations. The provisions of this Guaranty are severable, and
in any action or proceeding involving any state corporate law, or any state or
federal bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other law affecting the rights
of creditors generally, if the obligations of the Performance Guarantor
hereunder would otherwise be held or determined to be avoidable, invalid or
unenforceable on account of the amount of the Performance Guarantor's
G-2-9
[Pulte Restated Loan Agreement]
liability under this Guaranty, then, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Guaranty to the contrary, the amount of such liability shall, without any
further action by the Performance Guarantor or PFI, be automatically limited and
reduced to the highest amount that is valid and enforceable as determined in
such action or proceeding. The invalidity or unenforceability of any one or more
sections of this Guaranty shall not affect the validity or enforceability of its
remaining provisions. Captions are for the ease of reference only and shall not
affect the meaning of the relevant provisions. The meanings of all defined terms
used in this Guaranty shall be equally applicable to the singular and plural
forms of the terms defined.
