END OF ARTICLE 1

INTEREST, PRINCIPAL AND FEES
3.1. INTEREST
3.1 (a) Except as provided in Sections 3.1(d) and 3.1(e), Borrower must pay
interest on the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance from the date
the Warehousing Advance is made until it is paid in full at the
Interest Rate specified in Exhibit H.
3.1 (b) As long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower is
entitled to receive a benefit in the form of an "Earnings Credit" on
the portion of the Eligible Balances maintained in time deposit
accounts with a Designated Bank, and Borrower is entitled to receive a
benefit in the form of an "Earnings Allowance" on the portion of the
Eligible Balances maintained in demand deposit accounts with a
Designated Bank. Any Earnings Allowance will be used first and any
Earnings Credit will be used second as a credit against Miscellaneous
Fees and Charges (including Designated Bank Charges), and against other
fees payable to Lender under this Agreement, including Warehousing
Fees, Wire Fees, Warehousing Commitment Fees,Non-Usage Fees, and Loan
Package Fees, and may be used, at Lender's option, to reduce accrued
interest. Any Earnings Allowance not used during the month in which the
benefit was received will be accumulated and must be used within 6
months of the month in which the benefit was received. As long as no
Default or Event of Default exists, any Earnings Credit not used during
the month in which the benefit was received will be used to provide a
cash benefit to Borrower. Any Earnings Credit retained by Lender as a
result of a Default or Event of Default will be applied to the payment
of Borrower's Obligations in the order Lender determines in its sole
discretion. The Earnings Credit and the Earnings Allowance for any
month will be determined by Lender in its sole discretion and Lender's
determination of those amounts is conclusive and binding absent
manifest error. In no event will the benefit received by Borrower
exceed the Depository Benefit.
Either party to this Agreement may terminate the benefits provided for
in this Section effective immediately upon Notice to the other party,
if the terminating party determines (which determination is conclusive
and binding on the other party, absent manifest error) at any time that
any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or decree or any
interpretation or administration of such law, rule, regulation, order
or decree by any governmental authority charged with its interpretation
or administration, or compliance by such party with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, makes it unlawful or impossible for the party sending the
Notice to continue to offer or receive the benefits provided for in
this Section. No Notice is required for a termination of benefits as a
result of a Default or Event of Default.
3.1 (c) Lender computes interest on the basis of the actual number of days
elapsed in a year of 360 days. Borrower must pay interest monthly in
arrears, not later than 9 days after the date of Lender's invoice or,
if applicable, 2 days after the date of Lender's account analysis
statement, commencing with the first month following the Closing Date
and on the Warehousing Maturity Date.
3.1 (d) If, for any reason Borrower repays a Warehousing Advance on the
same day that it was made by Lender, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender
an administrative fee equal to 1 day of interest on that Advance at the
Interest Rate that would otherwise be applicable under Exhibit H.
Borrower must pay all administrative fees within 9 days after the date
of Lender's invoice or, if applicable, within 2 days of the date of
Lender's account analysis statement.
Page 1
3.1 (e) After an Event of Default occurs and upon Notice to Borrower by Lender,
the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance will bear interest at the
Default Rate until paid in full.
3.1 (f) Lender will adjust the rates of interest provided for in this Agreement
as of the effective date of each change in the applicable index.
Lender's determination of such rates of interest as of any date of
determination are conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.
3.2. INTEREST LIMITATION
Lender does not intend, by reason of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note, the
Sublimit Note or any other Loan Document, to receive interest in excess of the
amount permitted by applicable law. If Lender receives any interest in excess of
the amount permitted by applicable law, whether by reason of acceleration of the
maturity of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note, the Sublimit Note or
otherwise, Lender will apply the excess to the unpaid principal balance of the
Warehousing Advances and not to the payment of interest. If all Warehousing
Advances have been paid in full and the Warehousing Commitment has expired or
has been terminated, Lender will remit any excess to Borrower. This Section
controls every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender and
is binding upon and available to any subsequent holder of the Warehousing Note
or the Sublimit Note.
3.3. PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS
3.3 (a) Borrower must pay Lender the outstanding principal amount of all
Warehousing Advances on the Warehousing Maturity Date.
3.3 (b) Except as provided in Section 3.1(d), Borrower may prepay any
portion of the Warehousing Advances without premium or penalty at any
time.
3.3 (c) Borrower must pay to Lender, without the necessity of prior demand
or Notice from Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the
Funding Bank to charge Borrower's Operating Account for, the amount of
any outstanding Warehousing Advance against a specific Pledged Asset
upon the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) One (1) Business Day elapses from the date a Warehousing
Advance was made if the Pledged Loan to be funded by that Warehousing
Advance is not closed and funded.
(2) Ten (10) Business Days elapse without the return of a
Collateral Document delivered by Lender to Borrower under a Trust
Receipt for correction or completion.
(3) On the date on which a Pledged Loan is determined to have been
originated based on untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information or
otherwise to be subject to fraud, whether or not Borrower had knowledge
of the misrepresentation, incomplete or incorrect information or fraud,
on the date on which Borrower knows, has reason to know, or receives
Notice from Lender, that (A) one or more of the representations and
warranties set forth in Article 9 were inaccurate or incomplete in any
material respect on any date when made or deemed made, or (B) Borrower
has failed to perform or comply with any covenant, term or condition
set forth in Article 9.
(4) On the date the Pledged Loan or a Lien prior to the Mortgage
securing repayment of the Pledged Loan is defaulted and remains in
default for a period of 60 days or more.
Page 2
(5) Upon the sale, other disposition or prepayment of any Pledged
Asset or, with respect to a Pledged Loan included in an Eligible
Mortgage Pool, upon the sale or other disposition of the related Agency
Security.
(6) One (1) Business Day immediately preceding the date scheduled
for the foreclosure or trustee sale of the premises securing a Pledged
Loan.
3.3 (d) Upon telephonic or written Notice to Borrower by Lender, Borrower
must pay to Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding
Bank to charge Borrower's Operating Account for, the amount of any
outstanding Warehousing Advance against a specific Pledged Asset upon
the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) For any Pledged Loan, the Warehouse Period elapses.
(2) Forty-five (45) days elapse from the date a Pledged Loan was
delivered to an Investor or Approved Custodian for examination and
purchase or for inclusion in a Mortgage Pool, without the purchase
being made or an Eligible Mortgage Pool being initially certified, or
upon rejection of a Pledged Loan as unsatisfactory by an Investor or
Approved Custodian.
(3) Seven (7) Business Days elapse from the date a Wet Settlement
Advance was made against a Pledged Loan, other than a Repurchased
Mortgage Loan or a Nonperforming Mortgage Loan, without receipt by
Lender of all Collateral Documents relating to the Pledged Loan.
(4) With respect to any Pledged Loan, any of the Collateral
Documents, upon examination by Lender, are found not to be in
compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related
Purchase Commitment.
(5) Three (3) Business Days after the mandatory delivery date of
the related Purchase Commitment if the specific Pledged Loan or the
Pledged Security backed by that Pledged Loan has not been delivered
under the Purchase Commitment prior to such mandatory delivery date, or
on the date the related Purchase Commitment expires or is terminated,
unless, in each case, the Pledged Loan or Pledged Security is eligible
for delivery to another Investor under a comparable Purchase
Commitment.
3.3 (e) In addition to the payments required pursuant to Sections 3.3(a),
3.3(c) and 3.3(d), if the principal amount of any Pledged Loan is
prepaid in whole or in part while a Warehousing Advance is outstanding
against the Pledged Loan, Borrower must pay to Lender, without the
necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender, and Borrower
authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge Borrower's
Operating Account for, the amount of the prepayment, to be applied
against the Warehousing Advance.
3.3 (f) The proceeds of the sale or other disposition of Pledged Assets
must be paid directly by the Investor to the Cash Collateral Account.
Borrower must give Notice to Lender in writing or by telephone or by
RFConnects Delivery to Lender (and if by telephone, followed promptly
by written Notice) of the Pledged Assets for which proceeds have been
received. Upon receipt of Borrower's Notice, Lender will apply any
proceeds deposited into the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of
the Warehousing Advances related to the Pledged Assets identified by
Borrower in its Notice, and those Pledged Assets will be considered to
have been redeemed from pledge. Lender is entitled to rely upon
Borrower's affirmation that deposits in the Cash Collateral Account
represent payments from Investors for the purchase of the Pledged
Assets specified by Borrower in its Notice. If the payment from an
Investor for the purchase of Pledged Assets is less than the
outstanding Warehousing Advances against the Pledged Assets
Page 3
identified by Borrower in its Notice, Borrower must pay to Lender, and
Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge
Borrower's Operating Account in an amount equal to that deficiency. As
long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender will return to
Borrower any excess payment from an Investor for Pledged Assets.
3.3 (g) Lender reserves the right to revalue any Pledged Loan. Borrower
must pay to Lender, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice
from Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank
to charge Borrower's Operating Account for, any amount required after
any such revaluation to reduce the principal amount of the Warehousing
Advance outstanding against the revalued Pledged Loan to an amount
equal to the Advance Rate for the applicable type of Eligible Loan or
REO Property multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Mortgage Loan.
3.4. BUYDOWNS
Borrower may prepay a portion of the Warehousing Advances outstanding against
Subprime Mortgage Loans (a "Buydown") upon Notice to Lender not later than (a)
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which
Borrower desires to make a Buydown in the amount of $10,000,000 or more or (b)
1:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which Borrower desires to make a Buydown in an
amount less than $10,000,000. Each Buydown must be in an amount not less than
$5,000, and Buydowns may not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount outstanding
against Subprime Mortgage Loans. A Buydown is a reduction in the aggregate
amount of the Warehousing Advances outstanding against Subprime Mortgage Loans,
but does not represent the prepayment of any particular Warehousing Advance, and
does not entitle Borrower to the release of any Collateral. Lender may apply
Buydowns to reduce interest payable by Borrower on outstanding Warehousing
Advances in any order that Lender determines in its sole discretion. Unless a
Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower may reborrow all or any portion of
a Buydown upon Notice to Lender not later than (m) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Business Day on which Borrower desires to reborrow
$10,000,000 or more or (n) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that Borrower desires
to reborrow an amount less than $10,000,000. If Lender receives Buydowns or a
combination of Buydowns and payments of Warehousing Advances that exceed the
aggregate principal balance of the Warehousing Advances outstanding against
Subprime Mortgage Loans (an "Excess Buydown"), as long as no Default or Event of
Default exists, Borrower may reborrow all or any portion of an Excess Buydown
upon Notice to Lender not later than (y) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day
immediately preceding the Business Day on which Borrower desires to reborrow
$10,000,000 or more or (z) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that Borrower desires
to reborrow an amount less than $10,000,000. Alternatively, Lender may, in its
sole discretion, re-advance to Borrower all or any portion of an Excess Buydown
by causing the Funding Bank to credit the Operating Account in that amount.
Lender has no obligation to pay or otherwise provide to Borrower any interest,
dividends or other benefits on an Excess Buydown.
3.5. WAREHOUSING COMMITMENT FEES
Borrower must pay Lender a fee ("Warehousing Commitment Fee") in the amount set
forth in Exhibit J. The Warehousing Commitment Fee is payable quarterly in
advance. On the Closing Date, Borrower must pay the prorated portion of the
Warehousing Commitment Fee due from the Closing Date to the last day of the
current Calendar Quarter. After the Closing Date, Borrower must pay the
Warehousing Commitment Fee within 9 days after the date of Lender's invoice or,
if applicable, within 2 days after the date of Lender's account analysis
statement. If the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Warehousing
Maturity Date occurs on a day other than the last day of a Calendar Quarter,
Borrower must pay the prorated portion of the Warehousing Commitment Fee due
from the beginning of the then current Calendar Quarter to and including that
date. Borrower is not entitled to a reduction in the amount of the Warehousing
Commitment Fee if (a) the Warehousing Commitment Amount is reduced or (b) the
Warehousing Commitment
Page 4
is terminated at the request of Borrower or as a result of an Event of Default.
If the Warehousing Commitment terminates at the request of Borrower or as a
result of an Event of Default, Borrower must pay, on the date of termination, a
Warehousing Commitment Fee on the Warehousing Commitment Amount in effect
immediately prior to termination, for the period from the date of termination to
and including the date set forth in clause (a) of the definition of Warehousing
Maturity Date on the date of such termination. Lender's determination of the
Warehousing Commitment Fee for any period is conclusive and binding, absent
manifest error.
3.6. NON-USAGE FEES
At the end of each month during the term of this Agreement, Lender will
determine the average usage of the Warehousing Commitment by calculating the
arithmetic daily average of the Warehousing Advances outstanding during such
month ("Used Portion"). Lender will then subtract the Used Portion from the
arithmetic daily average of the Warehousing Commitment Amount outstanding during
such month, and the result, if positive, will be known as the "Unused Portion."
Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a fee ("Non-Usage Fee") in the amount set forth
in Exhibit J. The Non-Usage Fee is payable monthly, in arrears. Borrower must
pay the Non-Usage Fee within 9 days after of the date of Lender's invoice or
account analysis statement. If the date set forth in clause (a) of the
definition of Warehousing Maturity Date occurs on a day other than the last day
of a month, Borrower must pay the prorated portion of the Non-Usage Fee due from
the beginning of the month to and including that date. Borrower is not entitled
to a reduction in the amount of the Non-Usage Fee if (a) the Warehousing
Commitment Amount is reduced or (b) the Warehousing Commitment is terminated at
the request of Borrower or as a result of an Event of Default. If the
Warehousing Commitment terminates at the request of Borrower or as a result of
an Event of Default, Borrower must pay, on the date of termination, a Non-Usage
Fee in the amount of 0.125% per annum of the Warehousing Commitment Amount in
effect immediately prior to the date of termination, for the period from the
date of termination to and including the date set forth in clause (a) of the
definition of Warehousing Maturity Date. Lender's determination of the Non-Usage
Fee for any period is conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.
3.7. LOAN PACKAGE FEES, WIRE FEES, WAREHOUSING FEES
At the time of each Warehousing Advance against an Eligible Loan or REO
Property, Borrower will incur a loan package fee ("Loan Package Fee") and a wire
fee ("Wire Fee"). Loan Package Fees and Wire Fees may, at Lender's discretion,
be billed separately or combined into a single warehousing fee ("Warehousing
Fee"). Borrower must pay all Loan Package Fees, Wire Fees or Warehousing Fees in
the amount set forth in Exhibit J within 9 days after the date of Lender's
invoice or, if applicable, within 2 days after the date of Lender's account
analysis statement.
3.8. MISCELLANEOUS FEES AND CHARGES
Borrower must reimburse Lender for all Miscellaneous Fees and Charges. Borrower
must pay all Miscellaneous Fees and Charges within 9 days after the date of
Lender's invoice or, if applicable, within 2 days after the date of Lender's
account analysis statement.
3.9. OVERDRAFT ADVANCES
If, under the authorization given by Borrower in the Funding Bank Agreement or
pursuant to this Agreement, Lender debits Borrower's Operating Account or
directs the Funding Bank to honor an item presented against the Operating
Account or against the Check Disbursement Account, and that debit or direction
results in an overdraft, Lender may make an additional Warehousing Advance to
fund that overdraft ("Overdraft Advance"). Borrower must pay (a) the outstanding
amount of any Overdraft Advance, plus interest on that Overdraft Advance, within
1 Business Day after the date of the Overdraft Advance, and (b) interest on the
amount of the Overdraft Advance,
Page 5
at a rate per annum equal to the Bank One Prime Rate plus 2%, within 9 days
after the date of Lender's invoice or, if applicable, within 2 days after the
date of Lender's account analysis statement.
3.10. METHOD OF MAKING PAYMENTS
3.10 (a) Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement, Borrower must make
all payments under this Agreement to Lender by the close of business on
the date when due unless the date is not a Business Day. If the due
date is not a Business Day, payment is due on, and interest will accrue
to, the next Business Day. Borrower must make all payments in United
States dollars in immediately available funds transferred by wire to
accounts designated by Lender.
3.10 (b) While a Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower authorizes
Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge Borrower's Operating Account

give Borrower not less than 10 days' notice of any public sale or of
the date after which any private sale may be held. Borrower agrees that
10 days' notice is reasonable notice. Lender may, without notice or
publication, adjourn any public or private sale one or more times by
announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and the sale may
be held at any time or place announced at the adjournment. In the case
of a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral on credit or for
future delivery, the Collateral sold on those terms may be retained by
Lender until the purchaser pays the selling price or takes possession
of the Collateral. Lender has no liability to Borrower if a purchaser
fails to pay for or take possession of Collateral sold on those terms,
and in the case of any such failure, Lender may sell the Collateral
again upon notice complying with this Section.
(9) Instead of or in conjunction with exercising the power of sale
authorized by Section (8), Lender may proceed by suit at law or in
equity to collect all amounts due on
Page 3
the Collateral, or to foreclose Lender's Lien on and sell all or any
portion of the Collateral pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court
of competent jurisdiction.
(10) Proceed against Borrower on the Warehousing Note and the
Sublimit Note.
(11) Retain all excess proceeds from the sale or other disposition
of the Collateral, and apply them to the payment of the Obligations
under Section 10.3.
10.2 (d) Lender will incur no liability as a result of the commercially
reasonable sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the
Collateral at any public or private sale or other disposition. Borrower
waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims it may have against
Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the
Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price
that Lender might have obtained at a public sale, or was less than the
aggregate amount of the outstanding Warehousing Advances, accrued and
unpaid interest on those Warehousing Advances, and unpaid fees, even if
Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer the
Collateral to more than one offeree. Borrower agrees that any sale of
Collateral under the terms of a Purchase Commitment, or any other
disposition of Collateral arranged by Borrower, whether before or after
the occurrence of an Event of Default, will be deemed to have been made
in a commercially reasonable manner.
10.2 (e) Borrower acknowledges that Mortgage Loans are collateral of a type
that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations and
that Mortgage-backed Securities are collateral of a type that is
customarily sold on a recognized market. Borrower waives any right it
may have to prior notice of the sale of Pledged Securities, and agrees
that Lender may purchase Pledged Loans and Pledged Securities at a
private sale of such Collateral.
10.2 (f) Borrower specifically waives and releases (to the extent permitted
by law) any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal that
Borrower has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing
or adopted after the date of this Agreement, and any right to require
Lender to (1) proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or
exhaust any of the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies against
the Collateral in any particular order, or (3) pursue any other remedy
within its power. Lender is not required to take any action to preserve
any rights of Borrower against holders of mortgages having priority to
the Lien of any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the
Collateral or to preserve Borrower's rights against other prior
parties.
10.2 (g) Lender may, but is not obligated to, advance any sums or do any act
or thing necessary to uphold or enforce the Lien and priority of, or
the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage or Security
Agreement included in the Collateral, including payment of delinquent
taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges,
costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements, incurred or paid by Lender in exercising any right,
power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement of
this Agreement, together with interest on those amounts at the Default
Rate, from the time paid by Lender until repaid by Borrower, are deemed
to be principal outstanding under this Agreement, the Warehousing Note
and the Sublimit Note.
10.2 (h) No failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right,
power or remedy provided in this Agreement or under any other Loan
Document, at law or in equity, will operate as a waiver of that right,
power or remedy. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any right,
power or remedy provided under this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, at law or in equity, precludes any other or further exercise
of that right, power, or remedy by Lender, or Lender's exercise of any
other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the
Page 4
foregoing, Borrower waives all defenses based on the statute of
limitations to the extent permitted by law. The remedies provided in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.
10.2 (i) Borrower grants Lender a license or other right to use, without
charge, Borrower's computer programs, other programs, labels, patents,
copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,
trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a
similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for
sale and selling any of the Collateral and Borrower's rights under all
licenses and all other agreements related to the foregoing inure to
Lender's benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.
10.3. APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS
Lender may apply the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement of
Lender's Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral to the payment of the
Obligations in the order Lender determines in its sole discretion. From and
after the indefeasible payment to Lender of all of the Obligations, any
remaining proceeds of the Collateral will be paid to Borrower, or to its
successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. If
the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement of the Collateral are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of that sale, disposition or other
enforcement and payment in full of all Obligations, Borrower is liable for the
deficiency.
10.4. LENDER APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT
Borrower appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution,
for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, the
Warehousing Note, the Sublimit Note and the other Loan Documents and taking any
action and executing any instruments that Lender deems necessary or advisable to
accomplish that purpose. Borrower's appointment of Lender as attorney-in-fact is
irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Lender may give notice of its Lien on the Collateral to any Person,
either in Borrower's name or in its own name, endorse all Pledged Loans or
Pledged Securities payable to the order of Borrower, change or cause to be
changed the book-entry registration or name of subscriber or Investor on any
Pledged Security, prepare and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code
amendment statements with respect to any Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements filed in connection with any item of Collateral or receive, endorse
and collect all checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing
payment on account of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale
of, any of the Pledged Loans or Pledged Securities and give full discharge for
those transactions.
10.5. RIGHT OF SET-OFF
If Borrower defaults in the payment of any Obligation or in the performance of
any of its duties under the Loan Documents, Lender may, without Notice to or
demand on Borrower (which Notice or demand Borrower expressly waives), set-off,
appropriate or apply any property of Borrower held at any time by Lender, or any
indebtedness at any time owed by Lender to or for the account of Borrower,
against the Obligations, whether or not those Obligations have matured.

All periods of Notice will be measured from the date of delivery if delivered
manually or by facsimile, from the first Business Day after the date of sending
if sent by overnight courier or from 4 days after the date of mailing if sent by
United States mail, except that Notices to Lender under Article 2 and Section
3.3 (f) shall be deemed to have been given only when actually received by
Lender. Borrower authorizes Lender to accept Borrower's bailee pledge
agreements, Warehousing Advance Requests, shipping requests, wire transfer
instructions and security delivery instructions transmitted to Lender by
facsimile or RFConnects Delivery, and those documents, when transmitted to
Lender by facsimile or by RFConnects Delivery, have the same force and effect as
the originals.
11.2. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES; INDEMNITY
Borrower must: (a) pay Lender a document production fee in connection with the
preparation and negotiation of this Agreement; (b) pay such additional
documentation production fees as Lender may require and all out-of-pocket costs
and expenses of Lender, including reasonable fees, service charges and
disbursements of counsel to Lender (including allocated costs of internal
counsel), in connection with the amendment, enforcement and administration of
this Agreement, the Warehousing Note, the Sublimit Note and other Loan Documents
and the making, repayment and payment of interest on the Warehousing Advances;
(c) indemnify, pay, and hold harmless Lender and any other holder of the
Warehousing Note and the Sublimit Note from and against, all present and future
stamp, documentary and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters
and save Lender and any other holder of the Warehousing Note and the Sublimit
Note harmless from and against all liabilities with respect to or resulting from
any delay or omission to pay such taxes; and (d) indemnify, pay and hold
harmless Lender and all of its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or
agents and any subsequent holder of the Warehousing Note and the Sublimit Note
(collectively called the "Indemnitees") from and against all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel to the Indemnitees (including allocated costs of
internal counsel) in connection with any investigative, administrative
Page 1
or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnitees have been designated as
parties to such proceeding) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, the Warehousing Note, the Sublimit Note or any other Loan Document or
any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Warehousing Note,
the Sublimit Note and the other Loan Documents ("Indemnified Liabilities"),
except that Borrower has no obligation under this Agreement with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct
of any such Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay
and hold harmless as set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable
because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower must contribute
the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law
to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the
Indemnitees or any of them. The agreement of Borrower contained in this Article
survives the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the payment in full
of the Warehousing Note and the Sublimit Note. Attorneys' fees and disbursements
incurred in enforcing, or on appeal from, a judgment under this Agreement are
recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such
judgment, and this clause is intended to be severable from the other provisions
of this Agreement and to survive and not be merged into such judgment.
11.3. FINANCIAL INFORMATION
All financial statements and reports furnished to Lender under this Agreement
must be prepared in accordance with GAAP (except for the implementation of FASB
91) applied on a basis consistent with that applied in preparing the financial
statements as at the end of and for Borrower's most recent fiscal year (except
to the extent otherwise required to conform to good accounting practice). Lender
acknowledges and consents to the fact that Borrower has not and does not intend
to implement FASB 91 for its own account; notwithstanding, Borrower must report
to Lender, as a line item within the financial statements and compliance
certificate due each month under Section 7.2, an adjustment to reflect the
impact that FASB 91 would have on such financial statements.
11.4. TERMS BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS; SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS
The terms and provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and inure to the
benefit of Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and assigns. All of
Borrower's representations, warranties, covenants and agreements survive the
making of any Warehousing Advance, and except where a longer period is set forth
in this Agreement, remain effective for as long as the Warehousing Commitment is
outstanding or there remain any Obligations to be paid or performed.
11.5. ASSIGNMENT
Borrower cannot assign this Agreement. Lender may at any time, without Notice to
or the consent of Borrower, transfer or assign, in whole or in part, its
interest in this Agreement, the Warehousing Note and the Sublimit Note along
with Lender's security interest in any of the Collateral, and any assignee of
Lender may enforce this Agreement, the Warehousing Note, the Sublimit Note and
its security interest in the Collateral assigned.
11.6. AMENDMENTS
Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be
amended, modified or supplemented unless the amendment, modification or
supplement is set forth in a writing signed by both Borrower and Lender.
Page 2
11.7. GOVERNING LAW
This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the
State of Minnesota, without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws.
11.8. PARTICIPATIONS
Lender may at any time sell, assign or grant participations in, or otherwise
transfer to any other Person ("Participant"), all or part of the Obligations.
Without limiting Lender's exclusive right to collect and enforce the
Obligations, Borrower agrees that each participation will give rise to a
debtor-creditor relationship between Borrower and the Participant, and Borrower
authorizes each Participant, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to
proceed directly by right of setoff, banker's lien, or otherwise, against any
assets of Borrower that may be held by that Participant. Borrower authorizes
Lender to disclose to prospective and actual Participants all information in
Lender's possession concerning Borrower, this Agreement and the Collateral.
11.9. RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES
This Agreement provides for the making and repayment of Warehousing Advances by
Lender (in its capacity as a lender) and Borrower (in its capacity as a
borrower), for the payment of interest on those Warehousing Advances and for the
payment of certain fees by Borrower to Lender. The relationship between Lender
and Borrower is limited to that of creditor and secured party on the part of
Lender and of debtor on the part of Borrower. The provisions of this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents for compliance with financial covenants and the
delivery of financial statements and other operating reports are intended solely
for the benefit of Lender to protect its interest as a creditor and secured
party. Nothing in this Agreement creates or may be construed as permitting or
obligating Lender to act as a financial or business advisor or consultant to
Borrower, as permitting or obligating Lender to control Borrower or to conduct
Borrower's operations, as creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of
Lender to Borrower, or as creating any joint venture, agency, partnership or
other relationship between Lender and Borrower other than as explicitly and
specifically stated in the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that it has had
the opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choice in
connection with the negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents and to
obtain the advice of that counsel with respect to all matters contained in the
Loan Documents, including the waivers of jury trial and of punitive,
consequential, special or indirect damages contained in Sections 11.15 and
11.16, respectively. Borrower further acknowledges that it is experienced with
respect to financial and credit matters and has made its own independent
decisions to apply to Lender for credit and to execute and deliver this
Agreement.
11.10. SEVERABILITY
If any provision of this Agreement is declared to be illegal or unenforceable in
any respect, that provision is null and void and of no force and effect to the
extent of the illegality or unenforceability, and does not affect the validity
or enforceability of any other provision of the Agreement.
11.11. CONSENT TO CREDIT REFERENCES
Borrower consents to the disclosure of information regarding Borrower and its
Subsidiaries and their relationships with Lender to Persons making credit
inquiries to Lender. This consent is revocable by Borrower at any time upon
Notice to Lender as provided in Section 11.1.
Page 3
11.12. COUNTERPARTS
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will
be deemed an original, but all of which together constitute but one and the same
instrument.
11.13. ENTIRE AGREEMENT
This Agreement, the Warehousing Note, the Sublimit Note and the other Loan
Documents represent the final agreement among the parties with respect to their
subject matter, and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or
contemporaneous oral agreements among the parties. There are no oral agreements
among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the
Warehousing Note, the Sublimit Note and the other Loan Documents.
11.14. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION
AT THE OPTION OF LENDER, THIS AGREEMENT, THE WAREHOUSING NOTE, THE SUBLIMIT NOTE
AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT
WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE
OF THOSE COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE JURISDICTION OR VENUE OF THOSE
COURTS, INCLUDING THE OBJECTION THAT VENUE IN THOSE COURTS IS NOT CONVENIENT.
ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE COMMENCED AND INSTITUTED BY SERVICE
OF PROCESS UPON BORROWER BY FIRST CLASS REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN
RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS LAST KNOWN TO LENDER.
BORROWER'S CONSENT AND AGREEMENT UNDER THIS SECTION DOES NOT AFFECT LENDER'S
RIGHT TO ACCOMPLISH SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR
TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST BORROWER IN ANY OTHER
JURISDICTION OR COURT. IN THE EVENT BORROWER COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER
JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN
DOCUMENTS, LENDER AT ITS OPTION MAY HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO A STATE OR
FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA OR, IF A TRANSFER CANNOT BE
ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, MAY HAVE BORROWER'S ACTION DISMISSED WITHOUT
PREJUDICE.
11.15. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL
BORROWER AND LENDER EACH PROMISES AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY
ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY, AND FULLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO
THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT NOW EXISTS OR ARISES AFTER THE DATE OF THIS
AGREEMENT. THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN,
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, BY BORROWER AND LENDER, AND IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS
EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE FOR WHICH THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY WOULD
OTHERWISE APPLY. LENDER AND BORROWER ARE EACH AUTHORIZED AND DIRECTED TO SUBMIT
THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER AND THE
PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY. FURTHER, BORROWER AND LENDER EACH CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE OTHER PARTY, INCLUDING THE OTHER PARTY'S COUNSEL,
HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS
THAT THE OTHER PARTY WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY.

11.16. WAIVER OF PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES
BORROWER WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL

OR ANY OF LENDER'S AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS WITH
RESPECT TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY
OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT. THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL,

IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE FOR WHICH THE RIGHT TO
SEEK PUNITIVE, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES WOULD OTHERWISE APPLY.
