1. DEFINITIONS.

paragraphs, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless
otherwise agreed.
"Account" means that form of installment land sales contract and/or

in sixty (60) equal and fully amortizing monthly installments, with the first
such installment becoming due and payable one month after the expiration of the
Borrowing Period and with successive installments becoming due and payable
monthly thereafter until all Obligations hereunder are paid in full; provided,
however, that all Obligations owing hereunder, if not paid sooner, shall
immediately become due and payable in full on or before ninety-six (96) months
from and after the date of Closing.
"Borrowing Base" means an amount equal to seventy percent (70%) of the

principal balance of all Qualified Pledged Accounts pledged to Lender under this
Credit Agreement (any such status is referred to below as a "Delinquent
Percentage"). Only during that period of time when the Delinquent Percentage
exists, the Borrowing Base formula shall be amended to reflect a figure which is
equal to the product of 100% minus the sum realized by multiplying 3.75 dines
the Delinquent Percentage. In illustration of the foregoing, should the
Delinquent Percentage equal ten percent (10%), then the Borrowing Base would be
reduced to 62.5% pursuant to the following formula: Borrowing Base = 100% -

Borrowing Base shall return to the seventy percent (70%) formula as first stated
above.

and the Line of Credit Note, Borrower is and shall be liable only for the
payment of such maximum rate of interest as allowed by law, and payment received
from Borrower in excess of such legal maximum, whenever received, shall be

excess.

Lender immediately shall be applied to provisionally reduce the Obligations, but
shall not be considered a payment on an account unless such wire transfer is of
immediately available federal funds and is made to the appropriate deposit
account of Lender or unless and until such check or other item of payment is
honored when presented for payment. Any Pledged Account payments received
directly by the Borrower shall be immediately forwarded to the Servicer. Should
any check or item of payment not be honored when presented for payment, then
Borrower shall be deemed not to have made such payment, and interest shall be
recalculated accordingly. Anything to the contrary contained herein
notwithstanding, any wire transfer, check, or other item of payment shall be
deemed received by Lender only if it is received into Lender's operating account
as identified on or before 12:00 noon, Williamstown, Massachusetts time. If any
wire transfer, check, or other item of payment is received into Lender's
operational account after 12:00 noon, Williamstown, Massachusetts time it shall

immediately following business day. The Lender reserves the right at any time to
require the implementation of a reasonably agreeable lock box agreement upon
reasonable notice to Borrower.

(i) Lender may reject any Account which, in its sole
discretion, reasonably fails to meet Lender's underwriting criteria and
conditions.
Should any Account demonstrate any of the following characteristics,
then said Account will not be capable of being deemed a Qualified Pledged
Account:
(a) bankruptcy, foreclosure or repossession (unless said event
occurred more than three years previously and there have been no subsequent
negative credit incidents);
(b) unsatisfied judgement or charge off greater than $500;
(c) more than two (2) nonmedical or non-institutional accounts
or loans have been referred to collection agencies or similar credit reporting
entities;
(d) nonconsenual liens over $500 individually or in the
aggregate;
(e) current delinquencies of greater than $500 on any two (2)
accounts or loan installment payments;
(f) no credit history.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender may consider an Account be become
deemed a Qualified Pledged Account if either of the following characteristics is
found:
(a) credit score of 600 and the Account is aged for a minimum
of one (1) timely payment with the understanding that if two or more debtors
pertain to the Account, the higher debtor credit score will be relied upon; or
(b) aged a minimum of three (3) timely payments.
Should any Account fail to meet or to continue to meet the above-noted
eligibility criteria, the cumulative principal of all Pledge Accounts to which
the Borrowing Base is applied in determining Borrower's prospective advances
hereunder shall be reduced by the principal value of the ineligible Account even
if the Account had previously qualified for inclusion in determining advance
availability.
Accounts pledged under the subject credit facility shall qualify for
relocation under that Secured Line of Credit Lending Agreement (Global Facility)
which has been entered into by and between Lender and Borrower after the debtor
has made four (4) timely payments pursuant to his Account obligations.
12
9. WEIGHTED AVERAGE COUPON.
The Pledged Accounts shall at all times possess and maintain a weighted
average coupon rate ("WAC") of not less than 13.5% during the term of the Line
of Credit Note. If the WAC is less than 13.5% Borrower shall submit or
Substitute additional Pledged Accounts in order to bring the Pledged Accounts
into compliance with the WAC standard.
10. WEIGHTED AVERAGE MATURITY.
The Pledged Accounts shall, from the date of origination, have a
weighted average maturity ("WAM") as of the Closing Date of not more than 180
months and not less than 84 months, provided that the Pledged Accounts delivered
by Borrower to Lender after the Closing Date shall have a minimum average
monthly payment of at least $100 with no individual Account possessing a minimum
monthly payment of less than $85.
11. BORROWING PERIOD.
During the Borrowing Period, payments of interest only shall be due and
payable on the first (1st) day of the first month following the Closing Date and
on the first (1st) day of each month thereafter. All payments received on the
Pledged Accounts shall be applied first to amounts, fees, costs and Lender
Expenses due under the Credit Agreement, then to interest due thereunder, then
to principal due thereunder or, at the option of holder, to any other
indebtedness or Obligations owed by Borrower or its affiliates to Lender or its
affiliates. In the event the funds received by Lender from the Pledged Accounts
are less than the required monthly payment hereunder, Borrower shall pay the
difference immediately. In the event that payments received from and on the
Pledged Accounts and forwarded to Lender exceed the amount required to fund the
then-due interest, the excess amounts and payments shall be applied to reduce
the principal outstanding under the Line of Credit Note and this Credit
Agreement.
12. EXTENSION OF BORROWING PERIOD.
Upon request of the Borrower, the Borrowing Period may be extended for
an additional twelve month period at Lender's sole discretion.
13. PRINCIPAL AMORTIZATION PERIOD.
Equal fully amortizing monthly payments of principal and interest shall
be due and payable beginning on the first (1st) day of the first month
immediately following the end of the Borrower Period and monthly thereafter
during the Amortization Period. If not otherwise paid during the Amortization
Period, all Obligations outstanding under the Credit Agreement and the Line of
Credit Note shall be due and payable in full ninety-six (96) months after the
Closing Date. The minimum monthly payment during the Amortization Period shall
be an amount which will amortize the unpaid balance of the Obligations over a
term of sixty (60) months. All payments received by Lender from and on the
Pledged Accounts shall be applied first to amounts, fees, costs and Lender
Expenses due under the Agreement, then to interest due hereunder, then to
principal due hereunder, or at the option of the holder, to any other
indebtedness owed by Borrower or its affiliates to Lender or its affiliates. In
the event the funds received by Lender from the Pledged Accounts are less than
the required monthly payment hereunder, Borrower shall pay the difference
immediately and the Borrower shall additionally pay to Lender a fee which shall
compensate Lender for its accounting services rendered in such a situation which
shall equal one percent (1%) of the deficit between the required monthly payment
and the underfunded
13
status of Borrower's account which fee in no circumstances shall be less than
one hundred dollars ($100) per instance.
14. VOLUNTARY PRE-PAYMENTS.
Borrower may prepay all or a portion of the Line of Credit Note within
twenty-four (24) months of the Closing Date by tendering with any such
prepayment a fee of five percent (5%) of the amount of prepayment. Borrower may
prepay all or a portion of the Line of Credit Note commencing twenty-five (25)
months from the Closing Date through thirty-six (36) months from the Closing
Date hereof by tendering with any such prepayment a prepayment fee of three
percent (3%) of the amount of the prepayment. Commencing thirty-seven (37)
months from the Closing Date through sixty (60) months from the Closing Date,
any such prepayment shall be accompanied by a prepayment fee of two percent (2%)
of the amount of the prepayment. Thereafter, there shall be no prepayment fee.
In the event Borrower does not tender a prepayment fee as required herein,
Lender may deduct same from the amount of any tendered prepayment and apply the
remainder of the payment against the Obligations owing under the Line of Credit
Note and this Credit Agreement. Any such prepayments shall not delay or reduce
the next-due monthly installments. The prepayment penalties hereunder shall not
apply to principal payments during the Borrowing Period or the Amortization
Period which are collected by the Servicer through the natural payment of the
Accounts by the Account Debtors. The prepayment fees referenced herein are
understood to compensate the Lender for its costs associated with the Lender's
commitment of funds and other expenses associated with the providing of this
credit facility to Borrower.
15. MANDATORY PREPAYMENT.
Should the obligations outstanding ever exceed the Borrowing Base, then
the Borrower shall be required to immediately pledge additional eligible
Accounts sufficient to reinstate the Borrowing Base to its prescribed ratios.
Borrower may also, or in the alternative, repay in cash an amount equal to the
deficit under the Borrowing Base. No prepayment fee will be payable in
connection with prepayments in such circumstances. Mandatory prepayment shall
also arise should an Event of Default occur hereunder. Upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default, all Obligations outstanding hereunder shall immediately become
due and payable.
16. CONFIRMATION AUDIT OF PLEDGED ACCOUNTS.
Lender shall have the right to audit the Pledged Accounts by
confirmatory letters at any time prior to or after Closing. Lender shall have
the right to perform confirmatory telephone audits. Borrower agrees to furnish
or to cause Servicer to furnish Lender all information necessary for Lender to
conduct such audits.

18. PROTECTIVE COVENANTS.

Borrower shall:

Lender in the exercise of any of its other rights.
20
26. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) Waiver. No waiver by Lender of any default or breach by
Borrower hereunder shall be implied from any omission by Lender to take, or any
delay in taking, action on account of such default other than the default
expressly made the subject of the waiver and any such express waiver shall be
operative only for the time and to the extent therein stated. Any waiver of any
covenant, term or condition contained herein shall not be construed as a waiver
of any subsequent breach of the same covenant, term or condition. The consent or
approval by Lender to or of any act by Borrower requiring further consent or
approval shall not be deemed to waive or render unnecessary the consent or
approval to or of any subsequent similar act. Notwithstanding anything set forth
herein to the contrary, if no notice of a default or waiver is required
hereunder and none has been given, Lender shall not be deemed to have waived any
rights which it may have hereunder until seven (7) days following receipt by it
of written notice from Borrower alerting Lender to the fact that the time for
exercising any right or remedy hereunder has elapsed without exercise thereof
and such time for exercise shall automatically be extended to seven (7) days
following notice, said right shall conclusively be deemed to have been waived by
Lender. The intent of this paragraph is to avoid unintentional waivers by Lender
of any of its rights hereunder.
(b) No Duty of Lender. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose
or imply any duty or obligation whatsoever upon Lender, and Lender shall be
under no duty to take any action to preserve rights of Borrower with respect to
any of the security held by Lender for the Obligations. Borrower waives any and
all impairment of recourse and/or impairment of collateral defenses which it may
possess against the Lender.
(c) Amendment. The Agreement and the Credit Agreement, and the
terms of each of them, is the entire agreement between the parties and may not
be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument
or instruments in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the
change, waiver, discharge or termination is asserted.
(d) Indemnification. To the fullest extent permitted by law,
Borrower agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Lender, and Lender's officers,
directors, shareholders, agents, attorneys and employees (collectively
"Indemnitee"), from and against any and all liability, loss, damage, costs or
expense, including court costs and attorney's fees, that Indemnitee may
hereafter suffer, incur, pay or lay out or in any manner be held liable for, by
reason of any breach, default, misstatement or misrepresentation of any of the
statements, warranties or representations of Borrower contained in the Credit
Agreement or any related agreement, or by reason of any breach or default by
Borrower, or any of Borrower's employees, officers or agents, in the performance
of any duties, covenants or obligations arising under this or any related
agreement. In this connection, but without limitation, Borrower agrees to
reimburse any Indemnitee promptly upon demand for any payments made or losses
suffered by such person with respect to any liability, damage, loss or claim to
which the foregoing indemnity relates.
(e) Notices. Any notice, demand or request which may be
permitted, required or desired to be given in connection herewith shall be in
writing and directed to the parties at the respective addresses set forth below
(or at such other addressed as a party hereto may designate in writing) and
shall be tendered by personal delivery or by facsimile transmission with
verifiable transmission capability or be deposited in the U.S. mail, registered
or certified, return receipt requested. Such notice, if forwarded by mail, shall
be deemed effective seventy-two (72) hours after deposited in the U.S. mail, or
if personally delivered, upon delivery. A registered mail or certified mail
receipt will be prima facie evidence of the giving of such notice and the date
thereof. If such notice is personally served, such notice shall be effective
upon delivery or if such notice is sent by facsimile transmission, such notice
shall be effective upon the completion of the transmission of the same (so long
as the sender retains evidence of the recipient's(s') receipt).
