NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and mutual
covenants contained in this Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the
parties agree as follows:
1. Loan Management Services.
(a) The Bank shall service and administer the Bando Loans and shall
have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things in
connection with such servicing and administration which the Bank may deem
necessary or desirable including, but not limited to, the following:
The Bank may waive, modify or vary any term of any Bando Loan or
consent to the postponement of strict compliance with any such term or in any
manner grant indulgence to any obligor if, in the Bank's determination, such
waiver, modification, postponement or indulgence is not materially adverse to
the interests of Bando; provided, however, that, unless the obligor is in
default with respect to the Bando Loan, or such default is, in the judgment of
the Bank, imminent, the Bank may not permit any modification with respect to any
Bando Loan that would change the loan interest rate, defer or forgive the
payment of any principal or interest (unless in connection with the liquidation
of the related Bando Loan), or extend the final maturity date on such Bando
Loan. All out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Bank, including but not limited
to, the cost of appraisals, title insurance and attorneys' fees shall be added
to the amount owning under the related Bando Loan. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the Bank shall continue and is hereby authorized
and empowered to execute and deliver on behalf of Bando all instruments of
satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release, discharge and all
other comparable instruments, with respect to the Bando Loans and with respect
to any mortgaged properties or other collateral. If reasonably required by the
Bank, Bando shall furnish the Bank with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Bank to carry out its servicing
and administrative duties under this Agreement.
(b) In consideration for the Bank's loan management services to Bando
under this Agreement, the Bank shall charge and Bando shall pay on a monthly
basis a fee equal to one-twelfth of twenty-five (25) basis points multiplied by
the amount of Bando Loans outstanding at the end of the preceding month plus all
of the Bank's out-of-pocket expenses described in Section 1(a).
(c) As agent of Bando, Bank may originate loans for the benefit of
Bando to Bando customers and shall be entitled to a loan origination and
processing fee of $2,500 for each loan so originated and processed. For purposes
of this Section 1(c), "originate loans to Bando customers" means refinancing
loans, renewing loans and making new loans to then existing Bando customers.
(d) From time to time, the Bank may sell, and Bando may purchase,
participations in loans made by the Bank. Any such participations shall be made
proportionately with the face amount of such loans and shall bear the same
interest rate. No loan origination fees shall be paid with respect to such
loans.

responsibility for the payment of rents or other payments required to be made by
