once every three months commencing no later than December 31, 1996. The Seller
shall use its best efforts to assist the Purchaser in selling to third parties
pursuant to one or more Whole Loan Transfers any and all Loans purchased by the
Purchaser that, for any reason whatsoever (including without limitation the
delinquency status of such Loans, low Loan Interest Rates associated with such

pursuant to a Pass-Through Transfer.
(c) The Seller acknowledges that the Initial Purchaser may
enter into a purchase and sale agreement with GCFP (the "Affiliate Purchase
Agreement") pursuant to which GCFP will agree to purchase Loans from the
Initial Purchaser to the same extent the Initial Purchaser is obligated to
purchase Loans from the Seller hereunder. The Seller agrees that during the
term of the Affiliate Purchase Agreement, to the extent GCFP agrees to purchase
a Loan Package directly from the Seller, the Seller shall deal directly with
GCFP and shall look only to GCFP for performance of such purchase obligations.
The Initial Purchaser acknowledges that the Seller shall be obligated to deal
with GCFP on the sale of any Loan Package only to the extent GCFP's obligations
with respect to such Loan Package are identical to the Initial Purchaser's
corresponding obligations hereunder. In addition, the Initial Purchaser
acknowledges that notwithstanding any obligations assumed by GCFP with respect
to a particular Loan Package, the Initial Purchaser shall remain obligated with
respect to future purchases of Loans hereunder.
(d) The Initial Purchaser hereby assumes all of the
obligations of GCFP under the Original Agreement, as amended, as though it were
a party signatory thereto.
SECTION 3. Loan Schedules. The Seller shall deliver the

each Closing Date, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller the amount (the
"Purchase Price") stated in the related Pricing Letter, which amount shall be
equal to the aggregate of the percentage set forth in such Pricing Letter for
each Loan to be purchased multiplied by the Cut-off Date principal balance of
each such Loan, plus accrued interest on each such principal balance at the
Pass-Through Rate from (and including) the day following the date through which
interest has, as of the Cut-off Date, been paid by the Obligor to (but not
including) the related Closing Date for such Loan. In no instance shall the
Purchaser pay more than thirty days of accrued interest on any one Loan.
The Purchaser shall own and be entitled to receive with
respect to each Loan purchased, (1) all scheduled principal received after the
related Cut-off Date, (2) all other recoveries of principal collected after the
related Cut-off Date, and (3) all payments received after the Cut-off Date of
interest on the Loans at the Pass-Through Rate.
The Purchaser shall pay to the Seller a Profit Sharing
Payment (as defined in the related Pricing Letter).
The "Cut-off Date Balance" of a Loan will reflect the
application of all payments of principal received on or before the Cut-off
Date.
(b) Concurrently with the Initial Purchaser's execution of
this Agreement, (i) the Seller shall pay the Initial Purchaser a one-time cash
fee of $150,000 and (ii) the Guarantor shall grant the Initial Purchaser
warrants to purchase one million (1,000,000) shares of voting common stock of
the Guarantor, as set forth in the form of Warrant Agreement attached hereto as
Exhibit 11.
SECTION 5. Examination of Loan Files. The Initial
Purchaser has the right to underwrite the Loans and review the Loan Files prior
to the related Closing Date. If the Initial Purchaser makes such examination
prior to the related Closing Date and identifies any Loans that do not conform
to the representations and warranties in Subsection 7.02, such Loans may, at
the Initial Purchaser's option, be rejected for purchase by the Initial
Purchaser. If not purchased by the Initial Purchaser, such Loans shall be
deleted from the related Loan Schedule. The Initial Purchaser may, at its
option and without notice to the Seller, purchase all or part of any Loan
Package without conducting any partial or complete examination. The fact that
the Initial Purchaser has conducted or has determined not to conduct any
partial or complete examination of the Loan Files shall not affect the Initial
Purchaser's (or any of its successors' or assigns') rights to demand repurchase
or other relief or remedy provided for in this Agreement.

SECTION 6. Conveyance from Seller to Initial
Purchaser.
Subsection 6.01. Conveyance of Loans; Possession of
Servicing Files.
The Seller, simultaneously with the payment of the Purchase
Price, shall execute and deliver to the Initial Purchaser an Assignment and
Conveyance with respect to the related Loan Package in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit 3. The Servicing File retained by the Seller with respect to each
Loan pursuant to this Agreement shall be appropriately identified in the
Seller's computer system to reflect clearly the sale of such related Loan to
the Purchaser. The Seller shall release from its custody the contents of any
Servicing File retained by it only in accordance with this Agreement, except
when such release is required in connection with a repurchase of any such Loan
pursuant to Subsection 7.03.
Subsection 6.02. Books and Records.
Record title to each Note and, with respect to each
Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage, as of the related Closing Date shall be in
the name of the Seller pending recordation of the Assignments of Mortgage, and
thereafter in the name of one or more designees of the Purchaser, as the
Purchaser shall designate. Notwithstanding the foregoing, beneficial ownership
of each Note and, with respect to each Mortgage Loan, the related Mortgage, in
each case exclusive of the Excess Yield, shall be vested solely in the
Purchaser. All rights arising out of the Loans including, but not limited to,
all funds received by the Seller after the related Cut-off Date on or in
connection with a Loan as provided in Section 4 shall be vested in the
Purchaser (exclusive of the Excess Yield); provided, however, that all such
funds received on or in connection with a Loan as provided in Section 4 shall
be received and held by the Seller in trust for the benefit of the Purchaser as
the owner of the Loans pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
It is the express intention of the parties hereto that the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement be, and be construed as, a sale of
the Loans, exclusive of the Excess Yield by the Seller and not a pledge of the
Loans by the Seller to the Purchaser to secure a debt or other obligation of
the Seller. However, in the event that the Loans are held to be property of
the Seller, or if for any reason this Agreement is held or deemed to create a
security interest in the Loans then it is intended that (a) this Agreement
shall also be deemed to be a security agreement within the meaning of the
Uniform Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction; (b) to the extent
allowed under FHA Title I rules and regulations, in order to secure the
obligations of the Seller to the Purchaser hereunder with respect to the FHA
Loans, the Seller hereby shall be deemed to have granted to the Purchaser a
security interest in all of the Seller's right (including the power to convey
title thereto), title and interest, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, in
and to (A) the FHA Loans; (B) the FHA Insurance Reserves, all of the Seller's
other contractual rights against the FHA in relation to the Loans, and all
documents in the possession or under the control of the Seller with respect
thereto; (C) all amounts payable pursuant to the FHA Insurance Contract in
accordance with the terms thereof; and (D) any and all general intangibles
consisting of, arising from or relating to any of the foregoing, and all
proceeds of the conversion, voluntary or involuntary, of the foregoing into
cash, instruments,
20
-17-
securities or other property, including, without limitation, all amounts from
time to time held or invested in the Spread Account, any REO Account or the
Collection Accounts, whether in the form of cash, instruments, securities or
other property; (c) the possession by the Purchaser of the related Notes or
such other items of property as constitute instruments, money, negotiable
documents or chattel paper shall be deemed to be "possession by the secured
party", or possession by a purchaser or a person designated by such secured
party, for purposes of perfecting the security interest pursuant to the Uniform
Commercial Code of any applicable jurisdiction (including, without limitation,
Section 9-305, 8-313 or 8-321 thereof); (d) notifications to persons holding
such property, and acknowledgments, receipts or confirmations from persons
holding such property, shall be deemed notifications to, or acknowledgments,
receipts or confirmations from, financial intermediaries, bailees or agents (as
applicable) of the Purchaser for the purpose of perfecting such security
interest under applicable law; and (e) for purposes of the Agreement and the
Pricing Letter, "Loan Documents" shall include UCC-1 financing statements in
form acceptable for filing in the applicable jurisdictions in which are located
the principal place of business and the executive offices of the Seller and
executed by the Seller in favor of the Purchaser.
Subsection 6.03. Delivery of Loan Documents.
The Seller shall from time to time in connection with each
Closing Date, on or prior to such Closing Date, deliver and release to the
Custodian those Loan Documents as required by this Agreement or the Custodial
Agreement with respect to each Loan to be purchased and sold on the related
Closing Date and set forth on the related Loan Schedule.
The Custodian shall certify its receipt of all such Loan
Documents required to be delivered pursuant to the Custodial Agreement for the
related Closing Date, as evidenced by the Trust Receipt and Initial
Certification or Trust Receipt and Final Certification, as the case may be, of
the Custodian in the forms annexed to the Custodial Agreement. The fees and
expenses of the Custodian shall be paid by the Seller pursuant to the terms of
the Custodial Agreement.
The Seller shall forward to the Custodian original
documents evidencing an assumption, modification, consolidation or extension of
any Loan entered into in accordance with this Agreement within two (2) weeks of
their execution, provided, however, that the Seller shall provide the Custodian
with a certified true copy of any such document submitted for recordation
within two (2) weeks of its execution, and shall provide the original of any
document submitted for recordation or a copy of such document certified by the
appropriate public recording office to be a true and complete copy of the
original within ninety (90) days of its submission for recordation.

Subsection 6.04. Excess Yield.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, (i)
the sale and delivery of the Loans to the Initial Purchaser is exclusive of the
Excess Yield Holder's right, title and interest in, to, and under the Excess
Yield and (ii) subject to Subsection 11.16 of the Servicing Addendum, the right
of the Excess Yield Holder to the Excess Yield with respect to each Loan shall
be absolute and unconditional, and shall survive any Event of Default by the
Seller, any termination of the Seller as servicer hereunder and any other
event.
It is understood and intended, and is expressly covenanted
by the Purchaser and the Seller as the Excess Yield Holder, each to the other,
that neither the Excess Yield Holder nor the Purchaser shall have any right in
any manner whatsoever by virtue of the provisions of this Agreement (i) to
affect, disturb or prejudice the rights of the other, (ii) to seek to obtain
priority over or preference to the other with respect to their respective
interests in the Loans, except as provided in Subsection 11.16 of the Servicing
Addendum, or (iii) to enforce any right under this Agreement, except in the
manner herein provided and as the respective interests of the Purchaser and the
Excess Yield Holder are provided for pursuant to this Agreement.
The Excess Yield Holder and the Purchaser each agree to
execute and deliver from time to time such other instruments and documents as
may be reasonably requested by the other to further effectuate the provisions
of this Subsection 6.04.

recording of the Mortgage have been paid, and the Obligor is not entitled to
any refund of any amounts paid or due to the Obligor pursuant to the Note or
Mortgage;
(xv) All parties to the Note and the Mortgage had legal

acceleration, and the Seller has not waived any default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration;
(xix) Principal payments on the Loan commenced no more than
sixty days after the proceeds of the Loan were disbursed; the Loan bears
interest at the Loan Interest Rate and the Note is payable in Monthly Payments

(except for Loans identified in the Loan Schedule, annexed to each respective
Pricing Letter, as having a balloon payment which the Purchaser has agreed to

(xx) The origination, collection and servicing practices

connection with a trustee's sale after default by the Obligor;

account established by the Seller, the Obligor, or anyone on behalf of the

other similar provisions which may constitute a "buydown" provision. The Loan

required by the applicable FHA Insurance Contract) and which has been delivered
to the Purchaser, and except such Loan which contains in the related Loan File

(xxxi) The Obligor has executed statements to the effect that

applicable law; all inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made
or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the Improved Property and,

builder or developer, or any other party involved in the origination of the
Loan or in the application of any insurance in relation to such Loan that would

existence of the FHA Insurance Contract or render it subject to any offset,
defense, surcharge or other impairment;

Subsection 7.03. Remedies for Breach of
Representations and Warranties.
It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 shall survive the sale of the
Loans to the Initial Purchaser and shall inure to the benefit of the Purchaser,
notwithstanding any restrictive or qualified endorsement on any Note or
Assignment of Mortgage or the examination or lack of examination of any Loan
File. Upon discovery by either the Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any
of the foregoing representations and warranties which materially and adversely
affects the value of the Loans or the interest of the Purchaser therein (or
which materially and adversely affects the interests of the Purchaser in the
related Loan in the case of a representation and warranty relating to a
particular Loan), the party discovering such breach shall give prompt written
notice to the other.
Within sixty (60) days (ten (10) days in the case of a breach
of the representation in Subsection 7.01(a)(vii) arising from any nondelivery
of any Transfer of Note Report (as defined in the Custodial Agreement)) of the
earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller of any breach of a
representation or warranty which materially and adversely affects the value
29
-26-
of a Loan or the interest of the Purchaser therein, the Seller shall promptly
use all reasonable efforts to cure such breach in all material respects and, if
such breach cannot be cured, the Seller shall, at the Purchaser's option,
repurchase such Loan at the Repurchase Price using its own funds and shall not
use funds in the Spread Account for such repurchases. The Seller shall, at the
request of the Purchaser and assuming that Seller has a Qualified Substitute
Loan, rather than repurchase the Loan as provided above, remove such Loan and
substitute in its place a Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans; provided that
such substitution shall be effected not later than 120 days after the related
Closing Date. If the Seller has no Qualified Substitute Loan, it shall
repurchase the deficient Loan. Any repurchase of a Loan pursuant to the
foregoing provisions of this Subsection 7.03 shall occur on a date designated
by the Purchaser and shall be accomplished by deposit in the Collection Account
of the amount of the Repurchase Price for distribution to the Purchaser on the
next scheduled Distribution Date.
At the time of repurchase of any deficient Loan, the Purchaser
and the Seller shall arrange for the reassignment and transfer of the
repurchased Loan and, if applicable, the related FHA Insurance Reserve to the
Seller and the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by the Custodian
relating to the repurchased Loan. In the event the Repurchase Price is
deposited in the Collection Account, the Seller shall, simultaneously with such
deposit, give written notice to the Purchaser that such deposit has taken
place. Upon such repurchase the related Loan Schedule shall be amended to
reflect the withdrawal of the repurchased Loan from this Agreement.
As to any Deleted Loan for which the Seller substitutes a
Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans, the Seller shall effect such substitution
by delivering to the Purchaser for such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans the
Note, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage and such other documents and
agreements as are required by this Agreement, with the Note endorsed as
required therein. The Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account an amount
equal to the Monthly Payment less (a) the Servicing Fee and (b) any Impound
Payments (if applicable) received on such Qualified Substitute Loan or Loans in
the month following the date of such substitution, together with any interest
shortfall suffered by the Purchaser arising from the substitution of Loans
having differing Due Dates. Monthly Payments received with respect to
Qualified Substitute Loans in the month of substitution will be retained by the
Seller. For the month of substitution, distributions to the Purchaser will
include the Monthly Payment received on such Deleted Loan in the preceding
month, and the Seller shall thereafter be entitled to retain all amounts
subsequently received by the Seller in respect of such Deleted Loan. The
Seller shall give written notice to the Purchaser that such substitution has
taken place and shall amend the Loan Schedule to reflect the removal of such
Deleted Loan from the terms of this Agreement and the substitution of the
Qualified Substitute Loan. Upon such substitution, such Qualified Substitute
Loan or Loans shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement in all respects,
and the Seller shall be deemed to have made with respect to such Qualified
Substitute Loan or Loans, as of the date of substitution, the covenants,
representations and warranties set forth in Subsections 7.01 and 7.02.
For any month in which the Seller substitutes one or more
Qualified Substitute Loans for one or more Deleted Loans, the Seller will
determine the amount (if any) by which
30
-27-
the aggregate principal balance of all such Qualified Substitute Loans as of
the date of substitution is less than the aggregate Stated Principal Balance of
all such Deleted Loans (after application of principal payments received in the
month of substitution). The amount of such shortfall shall be distributed by
the Seller in the month following the month of substitution pursuant to the
Servicing Addendum. Accordingly, in the month of such substitution, the Seller
will deposit from its own funds into the Collection Account an amount equal to
such amount.
In addition to such cure, repurchase and substitution
obligation, the Seller shall indemnify the Purchaser and hold it harmless
against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, reasonable and
necessary legal fees and related costs, judgments, and other costs and expenses
resulting from any claim, demand, defense or assertion based on or grounded
upon, or resulting from, a breach of the Seller's representations and
warranties contained in this Section 7. It is understood and agreed that the
obligations of the Seller set forth in this Subsection 7.03 to cure or
repurchase a defective Loan or to substitute a Qualified Substitute Loan and to
indemnify the Purchaser as provided in this Subsection 7.03 constitute the sole
remedies of the Purchaser respecting a breach of the foregoing representations
and warranties.
Any cause of action against the Seller relating to or arising
out of the breach of any representations and warranties made in Subsections
7.01 or 7.02 shall accrue as to any Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by
the Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by
the Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Loan as specified above, and
(iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the relevant
provisions of this Agreement.
Subsection 7.04 Representations and Warranties Respecting the
Purchaser.

insolvency or reorganization.

by bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization;

Guarantor and the performance of and compliance with the terms of this

a party or which may be applicable to the Guarantor or its assets;
(iv) The Guarantor is not in violation of, and the execution
and delivery of this Agreement by the Guarantor and its performance and
compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a violation
with respect to, any order or decree of any court or any order or regulation of
any federal, state, municipal or governmental agency having jurisdiction over
the Guarantor or its assets, which violation might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the condition (financial or otherwise) or the
operation of the Guarantor or its assets or might have consequences that would
materially and adversely affect the performance of its obligations and duties
hereunder;
(v) The Guarantor does not believe, nor does it have any
reason or cause to believe, that it cannot perform each and every covenant

date upon which written notice of such failure, requiring the same to be
remedied, shall have been given to the Seller by the Purchaser; or
(ii) failure on the part of the Seller duly to
observe or perform in any material respect any other of the covenants or
agreements on the part of the Seller set forth in this Agreement which
continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (except that such number
of days shall be fifteen (15) in the case of a failure to pay any premium for

-35-

liabilities or similar proceedings, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its
affairs, shall have been entered against the Seller and such decree or order
shall have remained in force undischarged or unstayed for a period of sixty
(60) days; or
(iv) the Seller shall consent to the appointment
of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in any insolvency, bankruptcy,
readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and liabilities or similar
proceedings of or relating to the Seller or of or relating to all or
substantially all of its property; or
(v) the Seller shall admit in writing its
inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, file a petition to
take advantage of any applicable insolvency or reorganization statute, make an
assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of
its obligations; or
(vi) failure by the Seller to be in compliance
with the "doing business" or licensing laws of any jurisdiction where an
Improved Property is located; or
(vii) the Seller ceases to meet the qualifications
of, or ceases to be, an FHA Approved Mortgagee; or
(viii) the Seller attempts to assign its right to
its servicing compensation hereunder or the Seller attempts, without the
consent of the Purchaser, to sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially
all of its property or assets or to assign this Agreement or the servicing
responsibilities hereunder or to delegate its duties hereunder or any portion
thereof;
then, and in each and every such case, so long as an Event of Default shall not
have been remedied, the Purchaser, by notice in writing to the Seller may, in
addition to whatever rights the Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages,
including injunctive relief and specific performance, terminate all the rights
and obligations of the Seller as servicer and any obligation of Initial
Purchaser to purchase additional Loans under this Agreement. On or after the
receipt by the Seller of such written notice, all authority and power of the
Seller to service the Loans under this Agreement shall on the date set forth in
such notice pass to and be vested in the successor appointed pursuant to
Section 16.
Upon written request from the Purchaser in connection with any
such termination, the Seller shall prepare, execute and deliver, any and all
documents and other instruments, place in the Purchaser's possession all Loan
Files, and do or accomplish all other acts or things necessary or appropriate
to effect the purposes of such notice of termination, whether to complete the
transfer and endorsement or assignment of the Loans and related documents, or
otherwise, at the Seller's sole expense. The Seller agrees to cooperate with
the Purchaser and such successor in effecting the termination of the Seller's
responsibilities and rights hereunder as servicer, including, without
limitation, the transfer to such successor for administration by it of all cash
amounts which shall at the time be credited by the Seller to the Collection
Account or REO Account or thereafter received with respect to the Loans.
39
-36-
Subsection 14.02. Waiver of Defaults.
The Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller in the
performance of its obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such
waiver of a past default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of
Default arising therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every
purpose of this Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or
other default or impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent
expressly so waived.
SECTION 15. Termination. The respective obligations and
responsibilities of the Seller, as servicer, shall terminate upon the earlier
of: (i) the distribution to the Purchaser of the final payment or liquidation
with respect to the last Loan (or advances of same by the Seller); or (ii) the
disposition of all property acquired upon foreclosure or deed in lieu of
foreclosure with respect to the last Loan and the remittance of all funds due
hereunder unless terminated with respect to all or a portion of the Loans on an
earlier date at the option of the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 15 or
pursuant to Section 14; or (iii) by mutual written agreement of the Seller and
the Purchaser.
SECTION 16. Successor to the Seller. Prior to
termination of the Seller's responsibilities and duties under this Agreement
pursuant to Section 14, the Purchaser shall (i) succeed to and assume all of
the Seller's responsibilities, rights, duties and obligations under this
Agreement but not any rights in or to the Excess Yield, or (ii) appoint a
successor which shall succeed to all rights and assume all of the
responsibilities, duties and liabilities of the Seller as servicer under this
Agreement but not any rights in or to the Excess Yield. Any successor to the
Seller hereunder shall be an FHA Approved Mortgagee. In connection with such
appointment and assumption, the Purchaser may make such arrangements for the
compensation of such successor out of payments on Loans as it and such
successor shall agree. In the event that the Seller's duties, responsibilities
and liabilities as servicer under this Agreement should be terminated pursuant
to the aforementioned Section, the Seller shall discharge such duties and
responsibilities during the period from the date it acquires knowledge of such
termination until the effective date thereof with the same degree of diligence
and prudence which it is obligated to exercise under this Agreement, and shall
take no action whatsoever that might impair or prejudice the rights or
financial condition of the Purchaser or such successor. The termination of the
Seller as servicer pursuant to the aforementioned section shall not become
effective until a successor shall be appointed pursuant to this Section 16 and
shall in no event relieve the Seller of the representations and warranties made
pursuant to Subsections 7.01 and 7.02 and the remedies available to the
Purchaser under Subsection 7.03. It is understood and agreed that the
provisions of such Subsections 7.01, 7.02 and 7.03 shall be applicable to the
Seller notwithstanding any resignation or termination of the Seller, or the
termination of this Agreement.
Any successor appointed as provided herein shall execute,
acknowledge and deliver to the Seller and to the Purchaser an instrument
accepting such appointment, whereupon such successor shall become fully vested
with all the rights, powers, duties, responsibilities, obligations and
liabilities of the Seller, with like effect as if originally named as a party
to this
40
-37-
Agreement provided, however, that such successor shall not assume, and Seller
shall indemnify such successor for, any and all liabilities arising out of the
Seller's acts as servicer. Any termination of the Seller as servicer pursuant
to Section 15 shall not affect any claims that the Purchaser may have against
the Seller arising prior to any such termination or resignation or remedies
with respect to such claims.
The Seller shall timely deliver to the successor the funds in
the Collection Account, the Spread Account and the REO Account and the Loan
Files and related documents and statements held by it hereunder and the Seller
shall account for all funds. The Seller shall execute and deliver such
instruments and do such other things all as may reasonably be required to more
fully and definitely vest and confirm in the successor all such rights, powers,
duties, responsibilities, obligations and liabilities of the Seller as
servicer. The successor shall make arrangements as it may deem appropriate to
reimburse the Seller for amounts the Seller actually expended as servicer
pursuant to this Agreement which the successor is entitled to retain hereunder
and which would otherwise have been recovered by the Seller pursuant to this
Agreement but for the appointment of the successor servicer.
SECTION 17. Transfer of FHA Insurance Reserves. With
respect to each Loan Package that includes any FHA Loans, no later than 15 days
following the later of (i) the receipt by the Seller from FHA of the FHA case
number for each FHA Loan and (ii) the applicable Closing Date the Seller shall
execute documents necessary to transfer the related FHA Insurance Reserves
allocable to such Loan Package to the Purchaser, or such other entity as the
Purchaser may designate by notice in writing to the Seller provided that such
entity is an FHA Approved Mortgagee. The originals of such executed documents
shall be sent to the Purchaser or the Purchaser's designee in the manner
indicated by the Purchaser.
SECTION 18. Financial Statements. The Seller understands
that the Purchaser may make available to a prospective purchaser of the Loans
from the Purchaser the Seller's annual financial statements. The Seller, if it
has not already done so, agrees to furnish promptly to the Purchaser copies of
the statements specified above.
The Seller also shall make available to the Purchaser
information on its servicing performance with respect to loans serviced for
others, including delinquency ratios. The Seller also agrees to allow access
to knowledgeable financial, accounting, origination and servicing officers of
the Seller for the purpose of answering questions asked by any prospective
purchaser regarding recent developments affecting the Seller, its loan
origination or servicing practices or the financial statements of the Seller.
The Purchaser agrees to maintain full confidentiality with regard to non-public
information of the Seller released under this section.
41
-38-
SECTION 19. Mandatory Purchase. The purchase of each
Loan (exclusive of the related Excess Yield) on or before the related Closing
Date, subject to the terms and conditions of the Pricing Letter, is mandatory.
SECTION 20. Notices. All demands, notices and

have been received on the date delivered to or received at the premises of the
addressee (as evidenced, in the case of registered or certified mail, by the
date noted on the return receipt).
SECTION 21. Severability Clause. Any part, provision,
representation or warranty of this Agreement which is prohibited or which is
held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to the extent of such
prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions
hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement which
is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction, to the extent of
such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining
provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Loan shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such
provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits or renders void
or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any part,
provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any party
of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the parties
shall negotiate, in good faith, to develop a structure the economic effect of
which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this Agreement
without regard to such invalidity.
SECTION 22. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in any number of counterparts. Each counterpart shall be deemed
to be an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same
instrument.
SECTION 23. Governing Law. The Agreement shall be
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard
to any conflicts of law provisions and the obligations, rights and remedies of
the parties hereunder shall be determined in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, except to the extent preempted by federal law.
SECTION 24. Intention of the Parties. It is the
intention of the parties that the Initial Purchaser is purchasing, and the
Seller is selling, the Loans (exclusive of Excess Yield) and not a debt
instrument of the Seller or another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto
each intend to treat the transaction for federal income tax purposes as a sale
by the Seller, and a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Loans. The Initial
Purchaser shall have the right to review the Loans and the related Loan Files
to determine the characteristics of the Loans which shall affect the federal
income tax consequences of owning the Loans and the Seller shall cooperate with
all reasonable requests made by the Initial Purchaser in the course of such
review.
43
-40-
SECTION 25. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall
bind and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Seller and the
Purchaser and the respective successors and permitted assigns of the Seller and
the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated
by the Seller to a third party without the prior written consent of the
Purchaser, and shall not be assigned by the Initial Purchaser or any subsequent
Purchaser other than to an affiliate thereof without the prior written consent
of the Seller.

Agreement may be waived or modified unless such waiver or modification is in

sought to be enforced.

hereby incorporated and made a part hereof and are an integral part of this
Agreement.

words of similar import refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any

supersedes all prior agreements, oral and written, between the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof, and the provisions of both this Agreement
and each Pricing Letter shall survive the closing of the transactions
contemplated herein. In the event that there exist inconsistencies between
this Agreement and any Pricing Letter, this Agreement shall control.
SECTION 32. Guaranty. The Guarantor hereby guarantees,
in favor of the Initial Purchaser and its successors and permitted assigns, the
full and satisfactory performance of all commitments, obligations, covenants
and agreements (in each case financial or otherwise) of the Seller hereunder.

of strict compliance with any such term or in any manner grant indulgence to
any Obligor if in the Seller's reasonable and prudent determination such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to
the Purchaser or the Excess Yield Holder; provided, however, that the Seller
shall not permit any modification with respect to any Loan that would change
the Loan Interest Rate, defer or forgive the payment thereof or of any
principal or interest payments, reduce the outstanding principal amount (except
for actual payments of principal), make additional advances, extend the final
maturity date or adversely affect any FHA Insurance Contract with respect to
such Loan. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Seller shall
continue, and is hereby authorized and empowered, to execute and deliver on
behalf of itself, and the Purchaser and the Excess Yield Holder, all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release,
discharge and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Loans and,
in the case of a Mortgage Loan, with respect to the Improved Property. If
reasonably required by the Seller, the Purchaser and the Excess Yield Holder
shall furnish the Seller with any powers of attorney and other documents
necessary or appropriate to enable the Seller to carry out its servicing and
administrative duties under this Agreement.
In servicing and administering the Loans, the Seller
shall employ procedures including collection procedures and exercise the same
care that it customarily employs and exercises in servicing and administering
loans for its own account giving due consideration to accepted mortgage
servicing practices of prudent lending institutions and the Purchaser's and the
Excess Yield Holder's reliance on the Seller.
It is understood and agreed that the Seller may delegate
certain servicing duties to qualified sub-servicers with the Purchaser's prior
written approval; provided, however, that the Seller shall remain responsible
to the Purchaser for all servicing activities notwithstanding such delegation.
The Seller shall make such inspections of an Improved
Property, if any, as are consistent with standard servicing procedures
customary to the applicable loan type and, in the case of each FHA Loan, as
required by FHA Regulations if the Seller has actual notice of
58
-2-
any related condition which materially and adversely affects or may materially
and adversely affect such Improved Property. Such inspection shall be conducted
in accordance with customary servicing procedures and, in the case of each FHA
Loan, FHA servicing requirements for delinquent mortgages.
The Seller shall take all actions necessary to assure
that a case number is assigned to each FHA Loan by the FHA.
Subsection 11.02 Collection of Loan Payments.
Continuously from the date hereof until the principal and
interest on all Loans are paid in full, the Seller shall proceed diligently to
collect all payments due under each Loan when the same shall become due and
payable and shall, to the extent such procedures shall be consistent with this
Agreement, follow such collection procedures as it follows with respect to
loans comparable to the Loans held for its own account.
Subsection 11.03 Repurchase of or Realization Upon
Defaulted Loans.
(a) In the event that two or more Monthly
Payments are delinquent on or after the Due Date of succeeding Monthly Payments
with respect to a Loan, the Seller may at its option repurchase such Loan by
depositing the Repurchase Price therefor into the Collection Account. Such
repurchased Loans shall cease to be subject to this Agreement, and the
Purchaser shall convey such Loans to the Seller as contemplated by Subsection
7.03. The Seller shall use all reasonable efforts, consistent with the
procedures that the Seller would use in servicing loans for its own account
and, in the case of each FHA Loan, the requirements of FHA, with respect to any
Loan as comes into and continues in default and as to which no satisfactory
arrangements can be made for collection of delinquent payments pursuant to
Subsection 11.01, either (i) in the case of an FHA Loan, to assign the Loan to
the FHA and obtain FHA Insurance Proceeds with respect thereto or (ii) in the
case of a Mortgage Loan, with Purchaser's consent, which will not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed, to foreclose upon or otherwise comparably
convert the ownership of the related Improved Property, and, in the case of a
Loan that is not a Mortgage Loan, to collect from the Obligor amounts that are
due and unpaid. The Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to realize upon
defaulted Loans in such a manner as will maximize the receipt of principal and
interest at the Pass-Through Rate by the Purchaser, taking into account, among
other things, the timing of foreclosure proceedings, if applicable. In the
event that the Seller fails, on a timely basis, to (i) in the case of an FHA
Loan, assign the Loan to the FHA and obtain FHA Proceeds with respect thereto
or (ii) in the case of a Mortgage Loan, with purchaser's consent, which will
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of the related Improved Property or (iii) in
the case of a Loan that is not a Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall use its best
efforts to cause the obligor to bring such Loan current or (iv) deposit all FHA
Insurance Proceeds into the Collection Account, the Seller shall, at the
Purchaser's request, repurchase such Loan at the Repurchase Price.
59
-3-
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of
this Subsection 11.03, with respect to any Mortgage Loan as to which the Seller
has received actual notice of, or has actual knowledge of, the presence of any
toxic or hazardous substance on the related Improved Property the Seller shall
not either (i) obtain title to such Improved Property as a result of or in lieu
of foreclosure or otherwise, or (ii) otherwise acquire possession of, or take
any other action, with respect to, such Improved Property if, as a result of
any such action, the Purchaser would be considered to hold title to, to be a
mortgagee-in-possession of, or to be an owner or operator of such Improved
Property within the meaning of the Comprehensive Environmental Response,
Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended from time to time, or any
comparable law, unless the Seller has also previously determined, based on his
reasonable judgment and a prudent report prepared by a Person who regularly
conducts environmental audits using customary industry standards, that:
(1) such Improved Property is in compliance with
applicable environmental laws or, if not, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are necessary to
bring the Improved Property into compliance therewith; and
(2) there are no circumstances present at such
Improved Property relating to the use, management or disposal of any
hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous wastes, or
petroleum-based materials for which investigation, testing, monitoring,
containment, clean-up or remediation could be required under any federal,
state or local law or regulation, or that if any such materials are present
for which such action could be required, that it would be in the best
economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions with respect to the
affected Improved Property.
The cost of the environmental audit report contemplated
by this Subsection 11.03 shall be advanced by the Seller, subject to the
Seller's right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as
provided in Subsection 11.05(v).
If the Seller determines, as described above, that it is
in the best economic interest of the Purchaser to take such actions as are
necessary to bring any such Improved Property into compliance with applicable
environmental laws, or to take such action with respect to the containment,
clean-up or remediation of hazardous substances, hazardous materials, hazardous
wastes, or petroleum-based materials affecting any such Improved Property, then
the Seller shall take such action as it deems to be in the best economic
interest of the Purchaser. The cost of any such compliance, containment,
cleanup or remediation shall be advanced by the Seller, subject to the Seller's
right to be reimbursed therefor from the Collection Account as provided in
Subsection 11.05(v).
(c) Proceeds received in connection with any
Final Recovery Determination, as well as any recovery resulting from a partial
collection of Insurance Proceeds or Liquidation Proceeds in respect of any
Loan, will be applied in the following order of priority: first, to any unpaid
Servicing Fees pursuant to Subsection 11.05(ii); second, to accrued and unpaid
interest on the Loan at the Pass-Through Rate, pursuant to Subsection 11.09, to
the
60
-4-
date of the Final Recovery Determination, or to the Due Date prior to the
Distribution Date on which such amounts are to be distributed if not in
connection with a Final Recovery Determination; third, to any related
unreimbursed Servicing Advances and Monthly Advances and other advances
pursuant to Subsection 11.05(v); fourth, as a recovery of principal on the
Loan; and fifth, to Excess Yield pursuant to Subsection 11.09.
Subsection 11.04 Establishment of Collection
Accounts; Deposits in Collection
Accounts.
The Seller shall segregate and hold all funds collected
and received pursuant to each Loan separate and apart from any of its own funds
and general assets and shall establish and maintain one or more Collection
Accounts, in the form of time deposit or demand accounts. The creation of any
Collection Account shall be evidenced by a Collection Account Letter Agreement
in the form of Exhibit 5.
The Seller shall deposit in the Collection Account on a
daily basis, and retain therein the following payments and collections received
by it subsequent to the Cut-off Date, or received by it prior to the Cut-off
Date but allocable to a period subsequent thereto, other than in respect of
principal and interest on the Loans received on or before the Cut-off Date:
(i) all payments on account of principal on the
Loans;
(ii) all payments on account of interest on the
Loans;
(iii) all Impound Payments received on the Loans;
(iv) all Liquidation Proceeds;
(v) all Insurance Proceeds including amounts

Improved Property which are not released to the Obligor in accordance with the
Seller's normal servicing procedures, the Loan Documents or applicable law;

in accordance with Subsections 7.03 or 11.03, and all amounts required to be

(xi) any late charges and assumption fees.
The foregoing requirements for deposit in the Collection Account shall be

or earnings on funds deposited in the Collection Account by the depository
institution shall accrue to the benefit of the Seller and the Seller shall be
entitled to retain and withdraw such interest from the Collection Account
pursuant to Subsection 11 .05(ii). The Seller shall give notice to the
Purchaser and the Excess Yield Holder of the location of the Collection Account
when established and prior to any change thereof.
Subsection 11.05 Permitted Withdrawals From the
Collection Account.
Subject to the order of priorities set forth in
Subsection 11.03(c), the Seller may, from time to time, withdraw from the

Seller's right to reimburse itself pursuant to this subclause (iv) being
limited to amounts received on the related Loan which represent late
collections including related Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds,
Insurance Proceeds and such other amounts as may be collected by the Seller,
from the Obligor or otherwise relating to the Mortgage Loan), it being
understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, (i) the Seller's right
thereto shall be prior to the rights of Purchaser, except that, where the
Seller is required to repurchase a Loan, pursuant to Subsection 7.03, the
Seller's right to such reimbursement shall be subsequent to the payment to the
Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03, and all other
amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Loans, and
(ii) the Seller shall not be permitted to reimburse itself pursuant to this
subclause (iv) from any amounts transferred into the Collection Account from

Loan, it being understood that, in the case of such reimbursement, (i) the
Seller's right thereto shall be prior to the rights of the Purchaser, except
that, where the Seller is required to repurchase a Loan, pursuant to Subsection

payment to the Purchaser of the Repurchase Price pursuant to Subsection 7.03
and all other amounts required to be paid to the Purchaser with respect to such
Loans, and (ii) the Seller shall not be permitted to reimburse itself pursuant
to this subclause (v) from any amounts transferred into the Collection Account
from the Spread Account pursuant to Subsection 11.16(c);

Subsection 11.16(c);
(vii) to make distributions to the Purchaser of all
amounts distributable to the Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement in the manner
provided for in Subsection 11.09, such amounts allocated first to interest at
the Pass-Through Rate and then to principal;
(viii) to pay into the Spread Account certain
amounts representing a portion of or all of the Excess Yield, to the extent

(ix) to clear and terminate the Collection Account
on the termination of this Agreement.
Subsection 11.06 Transfer of Accounts.
The Seller may transfer the Collection Account and/or the
Spread Account and/or any REO Account to a different depository institution
from time to time. Such transfer shall be made only upon obtaining the prior
written consent of the Purchaser and the Excess Yield Holder, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld. In any case, the Collection Account, the
Spread Account and any REO Account shall be an Eligible Account.
Subsection 11.07 Collection of FHA Insurance
Proceeds; Other Remedies.
In the event of a default by the Obligor with respect to
any FHA Loan, the Seller shall, subject to the Seller's rights under Subsection
11.03, consistent with the provisions of Subsection 11.01 and all requirements
of the FHA, and provided that adequate FHA Insurance Reserves exist, use all
reasonable efforts to assign the related FHA Loan to the FHA and to collect the
related FHA Insurance Proceeds. In the event that the FHA Insurance Reserves
are
63
-7-
inadequate to permit the FHA to pay the FHA Insurance Proceeds with respect to
such FHA Loan, or in the event that the FHA denies the Seller's claim for FHA
Insurance Proceeds for reasons other than reasons that would constitute a
breach of the Seller's representations and warranties under Subsection 7.01 or
Subsection 7.02, the Seller shall proceed to foreclose upon or otherwise
comparably convert the ownership of the related Improved Property with respect
to any Mortgage Loan that is an FHA Loan, and, with respect to any FHA Loan
that is not a Mortgage Loan, to undertake such actions as necessary and
appropriate to collect amounts due and owing under the related Note, consistent
with the related Loan Documents, FHA Regulations and all other applicable laws
and regulations. The Seller shall deposit all FHA Insurance Proceeds into the
Collection Account promptly upon receipt thereof.
Subsection 11.08 Title, Management and Disposition of
REO Property.
In the event that title to the Improved Property is
acquired in foreclosure or by deed in lieu of foreclosure, the deed or
certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of the person designated by the
Purchaser, or in the event such person is not authorized or permitted to hold
title to real property in the state where the REO Property is located, or would
be adversely affected under the "doing business" or tax laws of such state by
so holding title, the deed or certificate of sale shall be taken in the name of
such Person or Persons as shall be consistent with an Opinion of Counsel
obtained by the Seller from an attorney duly licensed to practice law in the
state where the REO Property is located. Any Person or Persons holding such
title other than the Purchaser shall acknowledge in writing that such title is
being held as nominee for the benefit of the Purchaser.
The Seller shall either itself or through an agent
selected by the Seller, manage, conserve, protect and operate each REO Property
(and may with the prior written consent of the Purchaser temporarily rent the
same) in the same manner that it manages, conserves, protects and operates
other foreclosed property for its own account, and in the same manner that
similar property in the same locality as the REO Property is managed. The
Seller shall use all reasonable efforts to dispose of the REO Property as soon
as possible.
With respect to each REO Property, the Seller shall
segregate and hold all funds collected and received in connection with the
operation of the REO Property separate and apart from its own funds or general
assets and shall establish and maintain a separate REO Account for each REO
Property in the form of a non-interest bearing demand Eligible Account. The
creation of any REO Account shall be evidenced by a letter agreement in the
form shown in Exhibit 8. An original of such letter agreement shall be
furnished to the Purchaser upon request.
The Seller shall deposit or cause to be deposited, on a
daily basis in each REO Account all revenues received with respect to the
related REO Property and shall withdraw therefrom funds necessary for the
proper operation, management and maintenance of the REO Property, including the
fees of any managing agent acting on behalf of the Seller. The Seller shall not
be entitled to retain interest paid or other earnings, if any, on funds
deposited in such
64
-8-
REO Account. On or before each Determination Date, the Seller shall withdraw
from each REO Account and deposit into the Collection Account the net income
from the REO Property on deposit in the REO Account.
The Seller shall furnish to the Purchaser on each
Distribution Date, an operating statement for each REO Property covering the
operation of each REO Property for the previous month. Such operating statement
shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser shall
reasonably request.
Each REO Disposition shall be carried out by the Seller
at such price and upon such terms and conditions as the Seller deems to be in
the best interest of the Purchaser and the Excess Yield Holder. If as of the
date title to any REO Property was acquired by the Seller there were
outstanding unreimbursed Servicing Advances with respect to the REO Property,
the Seller, upon an REO Disposition of such REO Property, shall be entitled to
reimbursement for any related unreimbursed Servicing Advances from proceeds
received in connection with such REO Disposition. The proceeds from the REO
Disposition, net of any payment to which the Seller is entitled as provided
herein, shall be deposited in the REO Account and shall be transferred to the
Collection Account on the Determination Date in the month following receipt
thereof for distribution on the succeeding Distribution Date in accordance with
Subsection 11.09.
Subsection 11.09 Distributions.
On each Distribution Date, the Seller shall distribute to
the Purchaser all amounts credited to the Collection Account during the related
Due Period which are attributable to principal and interest (adjusted to the
related Pass-Through Rate) collected with respect to each Loan (including
Liquidation Proceeds, Condemnation Proceeds and Insurance Proceeds) plus all
Monthly Advances, if any, which the Seller is obligated to make pursuant to
Subsection 11.15, minus all amounts that the Seller is entitled to withdraw
from the Collection Account pursuant to Subsection 11.05(i) through (vi) plus
any amount distributable to the Purchaser pursuant to Subsection 11.16(c) of
the Agreement.
The Seller shall deposit into the Spread Account any
amount required to be deposited therein as specified in Subsection 11.16(a).
With respect to any remittance received by the Purchaser
on or after the second Business Day following the Business Day on which such
payment was due, the Seller shall pay to the Purchaser, as applicable, interest
on any such late payment at an annual rate equal to the rate of interest as is
publicly announced from time to time at its principal office by Chemical Bank,
New York, New York, as its prime lending rate, adjusted as of the date of each
change, plus three percentage points, but in no event greater than the maximum
amount permitted by applicable law. Such interest shall be paid by the Seller
to the Purchaser, as applicable, on the date such late payment is made and
shall cover the period commencing with the day following such second Business
Day and ending with the Business Day on which such payment is made, both
inclusive. Such interest shall be remitted along with such late payment.
65
-9-
The payment by the Seller of any such interest shall not be deemed an extension
of time for payment or a waiver by the Purchaser of any Event of Default by the
Seller.
Subsection 11.10 Remittance Reports.
On the Distribution Date, the Seller shall furnish to the
Purchaser and the Excess Yield Holder or their designees a computer tape
containing, and a hard copy of, the Remittance Report, in such form as the
Purchaser may reasonably request.
Subsection 11.11 Statements to the Purchaser and the
Excess Yield Holder.
Not more than sixty days after the end of each calendar
year, the Seller shall furnish to each Person who was the Purchaser at any time
during such calendar year, (i) as to the aggregate of remittances for the
applicable portion of such year, an annual statement in accordance with the
requirements of applicable federal income tax law, and (ii) listing of the
principal balances of the Loans outstanding at the end of such calendar year.
The Seller shall prepare and file any and all tax
returns, information statements or other filings required to be delivered to
any governmental taxing authority or to any Purchaser pursuant to any
applicable law with respect to the Loans and the transactions contemplated
hereby. In addition, the Seller shall provide the Purchaser with such
information concerning the Loans as is necessary for the Purchaser to prepare
its federal income tax return as any Purchaser may reasonably request from time
to time.
Subsection 11.12 Real Estate Owned Reports.
Together with the statement furnished pursuant to
Subsection 11.08, with respect to any REO Property, the Seller shall furnish to
the Purchaser a statement covering the Seller's efforts in connection with the
sale of such REO Property and any rental of such REO Property incidental to the
sale thereof for the previous month, together with the operating statement.
Such statement shall be accompanied by such other information as the Purchaser
shall reasonably request.
Subsection 11.13 Liquidation Reports.
Upon the foreclosure sale of any Improved Property or the
acquisition thereof by the Purchaser pursuant to a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure,
the Seller shall submit to the Purchaser a liquidation report with respect to
such Improved Property.
66
-10-
Subsection 11.14 Satisfaction of Mortgages and
Release of Loan Files.
In the event the Seller satisfies or releases a Mortgage
without having obtained payment in full of the indebtedness secured by the
Mortgage or should it otherwise prejudice any right the Purchaser may have
under the mortgage instruments, the Seller, upon written demand, shall remit to
the Purchaser the then outstanding principal balance of the related Loan by
deposit thereof in the Collection Account.
From time to time and as appropriate in connection with
the servicing, assignment to the FHA, foreclosure or other enforcement of a
Loan, the Purchaser shall, upon request of the Seller and delivery to the
Purchaser of a servicing receipt signed by a servicing officer of the Seller (a
"Servicing Officer"), release the requested portion of the Loan File held by
the Purchaser to the Seller, together with any assignments necessary to enable
the Seller to perform its obligations. Such servicing receipt shall obligate
the Seller to return the related Loan Documents to the Purchaser when the need
therefor by the Seller no longer exists, unless (a) the Loan has been
liquidated and the Liquidation Proceeds relating to the Loan have been
deposited in the Collection Account, or (b) the Loan File or such document has
been delivered to (i) the FHA in connection with an assignment of the Loan to
the FHA and collection of FHA Insurance Proceeds, or (ii) an attorney, for
purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action or other proceedings to collect
amounts due under the Loan (if such Loan is not a Mortgage Loan), or (iii) with
respect to a Mortgage Loan, an attorney or a public trustee or other public
official as required by law for purposes of initiating or pursuing legal action
or proceedings for the foreclosure of the Improved Property either judicially
or non-judicially, and the Seller has delivered to the Purchaser a certificate
of a Servicing Officer certifying as to the name and address of the Person to
which such Loan File or such document was delivered and the purpose or purposes
of such delivery. Upon receipt of a certificate of a Servicing Officer stating
that such Loan was liquidated, or the FHA Insurance Proceeds received, the
servicing receipt shall be returned by the Purchaser to the Seller.
Subsection 11.15 Monthly Advances by the Seller.
(a) Not later than the close of business on the
Business Day preceding each Distribution Date, the Seller shall deposit in the
Collection Account an amount equal to all payments not previously advanced by
the Seller, whether or not deferred pursuant to Subsection 11.01, of interest
not allocable to the period prior to the Cut-off Date, at the Pass-Through
Rate, which were due on a Loan and delinquent at the close of business on the
related Determination Date.
(b) The obligation of the Seller to make such
Monthly Advances is mandatory, notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement, and, with respect to any Loan or REO Property, shall continue until
a Final Recovery Determination in connection therewith; provided that,
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, no Monthly Advance shall be
required to be made hereunder by the Seller if such Monthly Advance would, if
made, constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance. The determination by the Seller that
it has made a
67
-11-
Nonrecoverable Advance or that any proposed Monthly Advance or Servicing
Advance, if made, would constitute a Nonrecoverable Advance, shall be evidenced
by an Officer's Certificate delivered to the Purchaser.
Subsection 11.16 Spread Account.
(a) The Seller shall, for the benefit of the
Purchaser, establish and maintain with the Spread Account Depository one or
more accounts (collectively, the "Spread Account"), which shall be entitled
"Mego Mortgage Corporation in trust for Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. as
Purchaser under that certain Amended and Restated Master Loan Purchase and
Servicing Agreement, dated as of October 1, 1996, among Greenwich Capital
Markets, Inc., Mego Mortgage Corporation and Mego Financial Corp. for FHA and
Conventional Home Improvement Loans". The Seller shall deposit or cause to be
deposited monthly into the Spread Account all interest received on the Loans at
the Excess Yield Rate to the extent required to increase the aggregate amount
on deposit in the Spread Account to an amount equal to the sum of (i) 25% of
the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Delinquent Loans other than
Seriously Delinquent Loans, (ii) in the case of any FHA Loans which are
Seriously Delinquent Loans which have had HUD claims filed but have not yet
received final rejections of claim from HUD, 25% of the aggregate unpaid
principal balance of such FHA Loans, (iii) in the case of FHA Loans which are
Seriously Delinquent Loans which either (x) have not had HUD claims filed or
(y) have had HUD claims filed and have received final rejections from HUD on
such claims, 100% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of such FHA Loans
and (iv) 100% of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of all Conventional
Loans that are Seriously Delinquent Loans, such balances to be computed as of
the immediately preceding Determination Date. The Seller shall cause the
Spread Account Depository to deposit into the Spread Account, from the
Collection Account, any Excess Yield required to be deposited therein. To the
extent that as of any Determination Date the amount on deposit in the Spread
Account exceeds the sum described in the second preceding sentence (computed as
of such Determination Date), at the Seller's request the Purchaser shall
instruct the Spread Account Depository to release the amount of such excess to
the Seller on the related Distribution Date. Similarly, to the extent that the
amount required to be deposited into the Spread Account pursuant to the third
preceding sentence is greater than the Excess Yield for such month, the Seller
shall deposit the amount of such deficiency into the Spread Account. The
Seller shall, upon the request of the Purchaser or the Excess Yield Holder,
provide evidence that the Spread Account has been established. The Purchaser
shall not have any interest in the Spread Account other than as a holder of a
security interest therein. Amounts held in the Spread Account from time to time
shall continue to be the property of the Excess Yield Holder until withdrawn
from the Spread Account pursuant to Subsection 11.16(c). The Seller, or the
Excess Yield Holder if different from the Seller, hereby grants to the
Purchaser a security interest in the Spread Account and such assets as are
deposited and held therein from time to time and any investments thereof,
together with any and all income, proceeds and payments with respect thereto.
Such grant is made to secure the obligations of the Seller (or the Excess Yield
Holder if different from the Seller) under this Subsection 11.16.
68
-12-
The Seller (and the Excess Yield Holder, if such is not
the Seller) shall cause, at all times that the Loans are outstanding, a valid
and perfected lien on or security interest in the Spread Account to be
maintained, and a valid and perfected security interest of first priority under
the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect from time to time in the State wherein
the Spread Account is located to be maintained, in the amounts deposited in the
Spread Account and the investments thereof in order to secure the full and
timely performance of the obligations of the Excess Yield Holder pursuant to
this Subsection 11.16. Amounts properly distributed by the Spread Account
Depository to the Excess Yield Holder pursuant to Subsection 11.16(d) shall be
deemed released from the provisions of this Agreement and the security interest
established by this subsection, and the Excess Yield Holder will in no event be
required to refund any such distributed amounts. The Spread Account Depository
shall keep records that accurately reflect the funds on deposit in the Spread
Account. The amount held in the Spread Account shall be noted on the monthly
remittance reports provided to the Purchaser and the Excess Yield Holder
pursuant to Subsection 11.10.
(b) The Spread Account Depository shall at the
written direction of the Seller, so long as the Seller is the Excess Yield
Holder, invest the funds in such account in Permitted Investments, each of
which shall mature not later than one year following the date of such
investment. All such Permitted Investments shall be registered in the name of
the Spread Account Depository (in its capacity as such) or its nominee. All
income and gain realized from any such investment as well as any interest
earned on deposits in the Spread Account shall be deposited or retained in the
Spread Account and accumulated therein, pending any withdrawal or release from
the Spread Account pursuant to subsection (c) below. The Seller shall deposit
in the Spread Account (with respect to investments made hereunder of funds held
therein) an amount equal to the amount of any loss incurred in respect of any
such investment immediately upon realization of such loss. The Seller shall be
permitted, in its discretion, to liquidate any Permitted Investment. The
proceeds of such liquidated investment shall be deposited into the Spread
Account. The Spread Account Depository shall not be liable for the amount of
any loss incurred in respect of any investment, or lack of investment, of funds
held in the Spread Account, except for losses attributable to the Spread
Account Depository's failure to make payments on such Permitted Investments
issued by the Spread Account Depository, in its commercial capacity, in
accordance with their terms.
(c) On the Business Day prior to each
Distribution Date, the Seller shall deposit into the Collection Account for
distribution to the Purchaser on such Distribution Date pursuant to Subsection
11.09, an amount equal to the aggregate of all Realized Losses incurred with
respect to any Loans and REO Properties as to which Final Recovery
Determinations were made during the period ending on the related Determination
Date and any Realized Losses with respect to any Loans and REO Properties as to
which Final Recovery Determinations were made during prior periods but which
were not paid due to insufficient funds in the Spread Account. Amounts
distributable to the Purchaser shall be limited to funds represented by the
amounts then on deposit in the Spread Account (the "Spread Account Balance")
and the Seller shall not be required to supplement such funds with its own
funds except to the extent of any loss on a Permitted Investment with respect
to the Spread Account. The Spread Account Balance shall be reduced by the
amount of any Realized Losses. The Seller

-13-
may, in satisfaction of its obligation described in this paragraph (c), cause
the Spread Account Depository to withdraw from the Spread Account and deposit
into the Collection Account the total amount to be deposited therein for such
Distribution Date pursuant to the preceding sentences.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the
Seller is unable to assign an FHA Loan to the FHA and to collect FHA Insurance
Proceeds (i) due to insufficient FHA Insurance Reserves or (ii) due to the
FHA's denial of a claim for reasons not constituting a breach of a
representation or warranty under Subsection 7.01 or 7.02, which denial the
Seller believes in good faith to be final, the Seller shall either, at its
option, repurchase the related FHA Loan under Subsection 11.03 or proceed to
enforce its other remedies. In the event that the Seller pursues other remedies
but no Final Recovery Determination can be made within 12 months after the date
of default under an FHA Loan with respect to (i) above and within 12 months
after final denial by the FHA of a claim with respect to (ii) above, the Seller
shall cause to be withdrawn from the Spread Account and deposited in the
Collection Account, in the manner described in this subsection, an amount equal
to the amount that would be deemed a Realized Loss if a Final Recovery
Determination could be made, and the Spread Account shall be reduced by such
amount. Any amounts subsequently received by the Seller with respect to the
related FHA Loan or REO Property shall be deposited by the Seller into the
Spread Account.
(d) Upon the termination of this Agreement, any
and all amounts remaining in the Spread Account shall be distributed to the
Excess Yield Holder.
Subsection 11.17 [Intentionally Deleted]
Subsection 11.18 Servicing Compensation.
As compensation for its services hereunder the Seller
shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collection Account or to retain from
interest payments on the Loans the amounts provided for as the Seller's
Servicing Fee. Additional servicing compensation in the form of any assumption
fees and late payment charges or other charges shall be retained by the Seller
to the extent not required to be deposited in the Collection Account. The
Seller shall be required to pay all expenses incurred by it in connection with
its servicing activities hereunder and shall not be entitled to reimbursement
therefor except as specifically provided for.
Subsection 11.19 Statement as to Compliance.
The Seller will deliver to the Purchaser not later than
120 days following the end of each fiscal year of the Seller, which as of the
Closing Date ends on the last day in August 31, in each calendar year,
beginning with the fiscal year ending August 31, 1997, an Officers' Certificate
stating, as to each signatory thereof, that (i) a review of the activities of
the Seller during the preceding year and of performance under this Agreement
has been made under such officers' supervision and (ii) to the best of such
officers' knowledge, based on such review, the Seller has fulfilled all of its
obligations under this Agreement throughout such year, or, if there has been a
default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default
known
70
-14-
to such officer and the nature and status thereof. Copies of such statement
shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a prospective
purchaser of the Loans.
Subsection 11.20 Independent Public Accountants'
Servicing Report.
Not later than 90 days following the end of each fiscal
year of the Seller, beginning with the fiscal year ending August 31, 1997, the
Seller at its expense shall cause a firm of independent public accountants
(which may also render other services to the Seller) which is a member of the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants to furnish a statement to
the Purchaser or its designee to the effect that such firm has examined certain
documents and records relating to the servicing of the Loans under this
Agreement or of loans under servicing agreements (including the Loans and this
Agreement) substantially similar one to another (such statement to have
attached thereto a schedule setting forth the servicing agreements covered
thereby) and that, on the basis of such examination conducted substantially in
compliance with the Audit Guide for Use by Independent Public Accountants in
Audits of HUD-approved Non-Supervised Mortgagees, Loan Correspondents and
Coinsuring Mortgagees (the "Audit Guide"), such firm confirms that such
servicing has been conducted in compliance with such servicing agreements
except for such significant exceptions or errors in records that, in the
opinion of such firm, the Audit Guide requires it to report. Copies of such
statement shall be provided by the Purchaser to any Person identified as a
prospective purchaser of the Loans.
Subsection 11.21 Access to Certain Documentation.
The Seller shall provide to the Office of Thrift
Supervision, the FDIC and any other federal or state banking or insurance
regulatory authority that may exercise authority over the Purchaser or the
Excess Yield Holder access to the documentation regarding the Loans serviced by
the Seller required by applicable laws and regulations. Such access shall be
afforded without charge, but only upon reasonable request and during normal
business hours at the offices of the Seller. In addition, access to the
documentation will be provided to the Purchaser, the Excess Yield Holder or any
agent thereof identified to the Seller by the Purchaser or the Excess Yield
Holder without charge, upon reasonable request during normal business hours at
the offices of the Seller.
Subsection 11.22 Status of Completion Certificates.
Upon the request of the Purchaser from time to time, the
Seller shall identify to the Purchaser the Loans as to which the Seller has not
received a completion certificate, in the case of any FHA Loan, in the form
required by FHA, whether or not the deadline for delivery of such certificate
by the Obligor has passed, together with the status of such deadline.

have an adjustable Pass-Though Rate equal to 200 basis points per annum in
excess of the London Inter Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") for U.S. dollar deposits
for one month as quoted on Page 3750 on the Telerate Service (or such other
page as may replace Page 3750 on that service or such other service as may be
nominated for the time being by the British Bankers Association as the
information vendor for the purpose of displaying British Bankers Association
Interest Settlement Rates). The Pass-Through Rate shall adjust monthly at
30-day intervals following the Closing Date based upon LIBOR as in effect two
Business Days prior to such adjustment date.
This Pricing Letter supersedes any prior Pricing Letters
the Purchaser and the Seller have agreed to.
Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have
the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.
The Purchase Price for the Loan Package will be the sum
of (A) _____% multiplied by the balance of the FHA Loans, (B) _____% multiplied
by the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Conventional Loans and (C)
accrued interest (as specified in Section 4 of the Purchase Agreement). The
Purchase Price shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Seller on the Closing Date
as directed by the Seller.
Pursuant to Subsection 11.16 of the Purchase Agreement,
all interest received on the Loans at the Excess Yield Rate shall be deposited

Boston (or another depository approved by the Purchaser), and retained therein,
subject to withdrawal solely for the purpose of remittance to the Purchaser in

Each Loan purchased hereunder may be resold by the
Purchaser or transferred into a trust for the purpose of a Pass-Through
Transfer or Whole Loan Transfer (any such resale or transfer, a "Purchaser
Disposition") and, upon such a Purchaser Disposition, the Purchaser shall make
an additional payment (the "Disposition Payment") to the Seller in an amount
determined in this Pricing Letter to the extent that the Purchaser Disposition
is effected at a price greater than the price paid by the Purchaser.
The Disposition Payment will be equal to any amount by
which (a) the net proceeds realized by the Purchaser from a Purchaser
Disposition exceed (b) the sum of (i) the Disposition Fee payable to Greenwich
Capital Markets, Inc. ("GCM") pursuant to the engagement letter dated October
1, 1996 between GCM and the Seller and (ii) the aggregate Purchase Price paid
by the Purchaser to the Seller for the related Loans.
Amounts paid by the Purchaser hereunder shall be paid in
same day funds through the federal funds wire system.
The Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to
minimize the amount of Excess Yield required to credit enhance the interest of
any investor in the Loans pursuant to any Reconstitution Agreement unless such
efforts under the then existing market conditions might reasonably lead to a
net resale price less than Par.
