To induce Lender to execute and deliver this Agreement and to make the
Loan available to Borrower, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, as
of the date of this Agreement, the date of each Advance, and the date of any
renewal or extension (if any) of the Termination Date:
4.1. Good Standing; Authorization. The information pertaining to
Borrower's legal status set forth in Article I is true, correct and complete.
Borrower has all requisite power, and has obtained and maintains in full
compliance with Applicable Requirements, all licenses and approvals required to
originate Mortgage Loans in all jurisdictions in which it conducts such
business. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, each
Promissory Note, the Loan Purchase Commitment, the Collateral Documents and any
other Loan Documents have been duly authorized by all requisite proceedings on
the part of Borrower.
4.2. Compliance with Laws and Other Agreements. Borrower, the Mortgage
Loans and the Collateral Documents are in compliance with all Applicable
Requirements and all requirements of the Approved Investor. Borrower has not
received, and has no knowledge of, any order or notice of any violation or claim
of violation of any Applicable Requirement or any matter which would permit the
Approved Investor to decline to purchase the Mortgage Loan. Borrower has
received a copy of Lender's Warehousing Guide as of the Commencement Date and
has complied, and will comply, in all material respects with the requirements of
the Warehousing Guide and other Applicable Requirements.
4.3. No Conflict; Governmental Approvals. The execution, delivery, and
performance of this Agreement, the Loan Purchase Commitment, the Collateral
Documents and each of the Loan Documents will not (a) conflict with, violate,
constitute a default under, or result in a breach of any Applicable Requirement;
or (b) conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of Loan Purchase
Commitment or other agreement or instrument binding upon the Borrower.
4.4. Financial Position. The Financial Statements delivered to Lender by
any obligor are true, correct and complete as of the date of such Financial
Statements for the period covered thereby.
(a) Borrower has no Indebtedness other than as shown in the most
recent Financial Statements delivered to Lender.
(b) Borrower has no investment, whether by stock purchase, capital
contribution, loan advance, purchase of property or otherwise in any Person,
other than as shown in the most recent Financial Statements delivered to Lender.
(c) Since the date of the most recent Financial Statements
delivered to Lender, there has not been any material adverse change in the
14
business, operations, properties or financial position of Borrower or the
Approved Investor under a Loan Purchase Commitment. Borrower does not know of
any fact (other than matters of a general economic or political nature) which
materially adversely affects or, so far as the Borrower can now reasonably
foresee, will materially adversely affect, the origination or sale of any
Mortgage Loan or the business, operations, properties or financial position of
Borrower or the performance by Borrower of its obligations under this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents.
4.5. Encumbrances. All of the Collateral is owned by Borrower free and
clear of all Encumbrances except the Loan Documents.
4.6. Litigation. There are no actions, suits, proceedings or
investigations pending or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or
affecting Borrower before any court, arbitrator, or other governmental
authority.
4.7. Valid, Binding and Enforceable. This Agreement, the Loan Documents
and the Collateral Documents have been duly and validly executed and delivered
by the parties thereto (other than Lender) and constitute the valid and legally
binding obligations of such parties enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms. No default or event which, but for the giving of notice or
passage of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default has occurred and
is continuing uncured.
4.8. Priority of Security Interests. The county and state identified in
Borrower's Address in Article I is the location of the principal place of
business of Borrower and, unless otherwise specified in Schedule 1.31, those
locations are the only locations in which the Financing Statements must be filed
to perfect the security interest granted to Lender in the Collateral. Unless
otherwise specified in Schedule 1.31, Borrower does not do business under any
other names. Upon the filing of the Financing Statements in those locations,
Lender will have a valid and perfected first-priority security interest in all
of the Collateral for all the Obligations free and clear of all Encumbrances.
4.9. No Untrue Statements. Neither this Agreement, the Loan Documents nor
any other document, certificate or statement furnished or to be furnished by
Borrower or by any other party to Lender in connection herewith contains, or at
the time of delivery will contain, any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits or will omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the
statements contained herein and therein not misleading.

Commitment or any Collateral Documents; any Judgment against any obligor or

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

Lender provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative

contained in this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; iii) any Obligor's
failure to comply with all Applicable Requirements; and iv) any claims arising

in this or any other Loan Document shall survive termination of this Agreement
or payment in full of the Loan. Without limiting the foregoing, the provisions
of Sections 9.3, 9.15 and 9.16 of this Agreement shall survive the termination
of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and shall be and remain effective
notwithstanding the payment of the obligations, the cancellation of any
Promissory Note, the release of any Encumbrance securing the obligations or any
other action which Lender may have taken in reliance upon its receipt of such
payment. Any cancellation of any Promissory Note, release of any Encumbrance or

the Obligations having become final and irrevocable.

THE UNDERSIGNED BORROWER ("Borrower") hereby agrees to pay to the order of
PRINCAP MORTGAGE WAREHOUSE, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Lender") the amount
of the Advance made by Lender at the request of Borrower to fund the Mortgage
Loan Amount set forth above, together with interest thereon from the date of
advancement at the Basic Interest Rate set forth in the Warehouse Credit and
Security Agreement dated ________ between Borrower and Lender (the "Agreement").
Reference is made to the Agreement for the terms and conditions under which the
Advance has been made, the period within which payment is due, the Default
Interest Rate and the place and manner of payment. Capitalized terms used and
not otherwise defined in this Promissory Note shall have the respective meanings
given to those terms in the Agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Agreement)
the entire principal of this Promissory Note, together with accrued but unpaid
interest thereon, and any other obligations of Borrower or other Obligors to
Lender shall become immediately due and payable in full. Borrower waives
presentment for payment, demand, protest, notice of protest, notice of dishonor
or other notice of any kind.
Borrower hereby reconfirms to Lender that all representations and
warranties of Borrower set forth in the Agreement are true, correct and complete
as if remade as of the Date of this Promissory Note set forth above.
This Promissory Note is a "Loan Document" as defined in the Agreement.

This Promissory Note has been accepted by Lender in the State of New
Jersey and shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New Jersey.
Nothing contained in this Promissory Note or any other Loan Document shall
require the Borrower to pay, or Lender to accept, interest in an amount which
would subject Lender to penalty under applicable law. In the event that the
payment of any interest due under this or any other Loan Document would subject
Lender to penalty under applicable law, then, ipso facto, the obligation of
Borrower to make such payment shall be reduced to the highest rate then
permitted under applicable law without penalty.
Time is of the essence of Borrower's obligations under this Note.
All notices, requests, statements, offers, acceptances, requests for
