THE WAREHOUSE LINE
2.1 Warehouse Advances. Each Bank severally agrees to
lend to the Company, and the Company agrees to borrow from the Banks, on the
terms and conditions of this Credit Agreement, an aggregate amount not exceeding
such Bank's respective Warehouse Line Commitment, and the aggregate
19
amount of all such Warehouse Line Commitments shall equal the Total Warehouse
Line Commitment; provided, however the Total Warehouse Line Commitment includes
a Wet Advance Sublimit, a Jumbo/Super Jumbo Advance Sublimit, a Repurchase

Alternative Lending Advance Sublimit. Subject to the terms and conditions
contained herein, Warehouse Advances may be repaid and reborrowed until the

SECTION 2.1 is herein called its "Warehouse Line Commitment" and is set forth
opposite its name on SCHEDULE 2.1 attached to this Credit Agreement and the
aggregate maximum amount of the Warehouse Line Commitments is herein called the
"Total Warehouse Line Commitment". The Total Warehouse Line Commitment is equal
to as applicable, either (i) One Hundred Twenty-Five Million Dollars
($125,000,000.00) to and until the close of business on August 14, 2003, or (ii)

the same may be increased pursuant to the terms hereof) shall be available to
the Company as Warehouse Advances, Excess Advances and Swing Advances, subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, at such times prior to the Termination Date
and in such sums, as the Company may request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Banks shall not be
obligated to make an Advance which, (a) when added to the sum of Aggregate
Outstanding Warehouse Balance plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance,
would cause the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse Balance plus the Aggregate
Outstanding Excess Balance to exceed the Warehouse Borrowing Base at such time;
(b) when added to the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse Balance plus
the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance, would cause or result in a violation
of the financial covenants set forth in ARTICLE 5 hereof; (c) if such Advance is
a Wet Advance, when added to the aggregate outstanding balance of all Wet
Advances would cause or result in a violation of the Wet Advance Sublimit; (d)
if such Advance is a Jumbo Advance or a Super Jumbo Advance, when added to the
aggregate outstanding balance of all Jumbo Advances and Super Jumbo Advances
would cause or result in a violation of the Jumbo/Super Jumbo Advance Sublimit;

outstanding balance of all Super Jumbo Advances would cause or result in a
violation of the Super Jumbo Advance Sublimit; (f) if such Advance is an

all Alternative Lending Advances would cause or result in a violation of the
Alternative Lending Advance Sublimit; (g) if such Advance is a Repurchase
Advance, when added to the aggregate outstanding balance of all Repurchase
Advances would cause or result in a violation of the Repurchase Advance
Sublimit; (h) if such Advance is an Aged Loan/Extended Period Shipped Loan
Advance, when added to the aggregate outstanding balance of all Aged
Loan/Extended Period Shipped Loan Advances would cause or result in a violation
of the Aged Loan/Extended Period Shipped Loan Advance Sublimit; (i) if such
Advance is a Working Capital Advance, when added to the aggregate outstanding
balance of all Working Capital Advances would cause or result in a violation of
the Working Capital Advance Sublimit; (j) if such Advance is an ALT A Advance,
when added to the aggregate outstanding balance of all ALT A Advances would
cause or result in a violation of the ALT A Advance Sublimit; or (k) if such
Advance would cause or result in the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse Balance
plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance to exceed the Total Warehouse Line
Commitment. The Banks shall not be obligated to honor any Request for Advance if
the disbursement of funds thereunder would occur on or after the Termination
Date, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or if such
disbursement would cause or result in an Event of Default or an Unmatured Event
of Default.
2.2 Swing Advances and Excess Advances by Agent.
20
(a) Swing Advances. Upon the terms and subject to the
conditions contained in this Credit Agreement, the Agent may for its own account
and at its own discretion, make one or more Swing Advances to the Company, the
aggregate unpaid principal amount of which at any time, including those then to
be made, shall not exceed the least of (i) the Total Warehouse Line Commitment
at such time less the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse Balance plus
the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance at such time, (ii) the Agent's
Warehouse Line Commitment at such time less the amount of the Aggregate
Outstanding Warehouse Balance plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance then
allocated to the Agent, or (iii) Fifteen Million Dollars ($15,000,000.00);
provided, that, the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse Balance
(excluding the Swing Advance to be made) plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess
Balance plus the Swing Advance to be made by the Agent, shall not exceed the
Warehouse Borrowing Base as set forth in the most recent Borrowing Base Report
prepared by the Agent on the day of the making of such Swing Advance plus the
Collateral Value of the Eligible Collateral delivered to the Agent on that day
and which is not included in the most recent Borrowing Base Report (the "Swing
Advance Limitations"). Subsequent to a Swing Advance being made by the Agent,
the Agent may at any time (and in any event no less frequently than one (1) time
each week) in its sole and absolute discretion, demand the Banks (including the
Bank serving as the Agent) to advance under their respective Warehouse Notes and
pay to the Agent an amount equal to their respective Warehouse Commitment Pro
Rata Shares of the Warehouse Advance necessary to repay the then current
aggregate outstanding balance of all Swing Advances. On each Business Day on
which the Agent makes such a demand for payment before 2:00 p.m. Prevailing
Time, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Bank
shall irrevocably and unconditionally purchase from the Agent, without recourse
or warranty, an undivided interest and participation in the Swing Advances then
outstanding, by paying to the Agent, in same day funds available to the Agent at
the main office of the Agent located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx, an amount equal to such Bank's Warehouse Commitment Pro Rata Share of
all Swing Advances then outstanding, and thereafter, such Bank's respective
interest in such Swing Advances, and the remaining interest of the Agent in such
Swing Advances, shall in all respects be treated as a Warehouse Advance, but
such Advances shall continue to be evidenced by the Swing Note. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, no Bank shall ever be obligated to fund any amount under this
Credit Agreement in excess of its Warehouse Line Commitment. In the event the
Agent makes such demand of the Banks after 2:00 p.m. Prevailing Time on any
particular Business Day, the Banks shall be required to make their respective
payments to the Agent before 12:00 noon Prevailing Time on the immediately
succeeding Business Day.
(b) Excess Advances by Agent. Upon the terms and subject
to the conditions contained in this Credit Agreement, in the event the Agent is
prevented from making a Swing Advance hereunder as a result of the application
of the Swing Advance Limitations outlined above the Agent may for its own
account as a Bank hereunder and at its sole discretion, make one or more Excess
Advances to the Company, the aggregate unpaid principal amount of which at any
time, including those to be made, shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Total
Warehouse Line Commitment at such time less the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding
Warehouse Balance plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance at such time, or
(ii) the amount of the Agent's Warehouse Line Commitment at such time less the
sum of the Agent's Warehouse Commitment Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate
Outstanding Warehouse Balance plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance at
such time; provided, that, the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse
Balance plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance (excluding the Excess
Advance to be made) plus the Excess Advance to be made by the Agent, shall not
exceed the Warehouse Borrowing Base as set forth in the most recent Borrowing
Base Report prepared by the Agent on the day of the making of the Excess Advance
plus the Collateral Value of the Eligible Collateral delivered to the Agent on
that day and which is not included in the most recent Borrowing Base Report.
Subsequent to an Excess Advance
21
being made by the Agent, the Agent may at any time (and in any event no less
frequently than one (1) time each week) in its sole and absolute discretion
demand the other Banks to advance under their respective Warehouse Notes and pay
to the National City an amount equal to their Warehouse Commitment Pro Rata
Shares of the Warehouse Advance necessary to repay all or any portion of the
Excess Advances then outstanding. On each Business Day on which the Agent makes
such a demand for payment before 2:00 p.m. Prevailing Time, whether before or
after the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Bank shall pay to the Agent
its Warehouse Commitment Pro Rata Share of the Warehouse Advance necessary to
pay the Excess Advances designated by the Agent to be reallocated and paid by
the Banks, such payments shall be wired to the Agent, in same day funds
available to the Agent at the main office of the Agent located at 000 Xxxxx
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, in an amount equal to such Bank's Warehouse
Commitment Pro Rata Share of all Excess Advances then designated by the Agent to
be reallocated and paid by the Banks. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Bank
shall ever be obligated to fund any amount under this Credit Agreement in excess
of its Warehouse Line Commitment. In the event the Agent makes such demand of
the Banks after 2:00 p.m. Prevailing Time on any particular Business Day, the
Banks shall be required to make their respective payments to the Agent before
12:00 noon Prevailing Time on the immediately succeeding Business Day.
2.3 Notes.
(a) Warehouse Advances. The lending described

Form of EXHIBIT C-1 to this Credit Agreement.
2.4 Manner of Borrowing.
(a) Request for Advance. The Company shall
deliver to the Agent, not later than 1:00 p.m. Prevailing Time on the Business
Day on which the Company desires to obtain an Advance, an original (or facsimile
copy) executed Request for Advance (which shall be irrevocable) specifying the
amount of the Advance which it desires to borrow. Agent in its sole discretion
can treat any Request for Warehouse Advance as either (i) a Request for a
Warehouse Advance, (ii) a Request for a Swing Advance, or (iii) a Request for an
Excess Advance, as applicable. On the date of the Agent's receipt of a Request
for
22
Advance if: (a) no Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has
occurred and is then existing; (b) all terms and conditions of this
Credit Agreement required to be satisfied prior to the making of the
particular type of Advance, including without limitation, all
conditions precedent specified in ARTICLE 4 hereof, are in fact
satisfied; (c) all terms and conditions of the Security Agreement
required to be satisfied prior to the making of a Warehouse Advance are
in fact satisfied; and (d) the making of such Advance shall not cause
or result in either a violation of any of the terms of this Credit
Agreement or of the Security Agreement, an Event of Default, or an
Unmatured Event of Default, the Agent shall (xx) in the case of a
Warehouse Advance, credit each Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Warehouse
Advance received by the Agent to the Company in accordance with the
terms set forth below, (yy) in the case of a Swing Advance, credit the
amount of such Swing Advance to the Company, and (zz) in the case of an
Excess Advance, credit the amount of such Excess Advance to the
Company; provided, however, with respect to each Wet Advance, the
proceeds thereof shall, at the option of the Agent, be (i) wire
transferred by the Agent through the Federal Reserve Wire Transfer
System directly to the Company's agent responsible for closing such Wet
Loan, (ii) funded by a draft on the Agent, which draft shall be made
payable either [a] jointly to the Company's agent responsible for
closing such Wet Loan and the mortgagor(s) under such Wet Loan, or [b]
only to the Company's closing agent if such transaction is a refinance
transaction where the three (3) day right of rescission may preclude
the Company from obtaining both endorsements without incurring
significant additional costs, (iii) funded by a cashier's check issued
by the Agent for the account of the Company and made payable either [a]
jointly to the Company's agent responsible for closing such Wet Loan
and the mortgagor(s) under such Wet Loan, or [b] only to the Company's
closing agent if such transaction is a refinance transaction where the
three (3) day right of rescission may preclude the Company from
obtaining both endorsements without incurring significant additional
costs, or (iv) disbursed in such other manner as is acceptable to the
Company and the Agent. Requests for Advance received by the Agent after
1:00 p.m. Prevailing Time will not be processed by the Agent as a
Request for Warehouse Advance, but may be treated, at the Agent's sole
discretion, as a Request for Swing Advance. Requests for Advance
received by the Agent after 3:00 p.m. Prevailing Time will not be
processed by the Agent as a Request for Warehouse Advance until the
immediately succeeding Business Day.
(b) Disbursement of Bank's Warehouse Pro Rata
Share. All Warehouse Advances requested by the Agent under this Credit
Agreement shall be made by the Banks simultaneously and proportionately
to their respective Warehouse Pro Rata Shares of each such Warehouse
Advance, it being understood that, except as provided in SECTION 2.4(c)
below, no Bank shall be responsible for any default by any other Bank
of that other Bank's obligation to fund its Warehouse Pro Rata Share of
a Warehouse Advance requested hereunder nor shall the Warehouse Line
Commitment of any Bank be increased or decreased as a result of the
default by any other Bank of that other Bank's obligation to fund its
Warehouse Pro Rata Share of a Warehouse Advance requested hereunder.
Promptly after receipt by the Agent of a Request for Advance pursuant
to this SECTION 2.4, the Agent shall notify each Bank of the Warehouse
Advance requested by the Company pursuant thereto and each Bank's
Warehouse Pro Rata Share of such Warehouse Advance. Each Bank shall
make its Warehouse Pro Rata Share of each Warehouse Advance (other than
a Swing Advance or an Excess Advance) to be made to the Company
available to the Agent, in same day funds, at the office of the Agent
located at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx not later than
3:00 p.m. Prevailing Time on the date the Request for Advance from the
Company is received by the Agent. The time of the Agent's receipt of
same day funds from the Banks which are wire transferred through the
Federal Reserve System shall be based upon the Federal Reference Number
and the "time out" for any such wire transfer. Upon satisfaction or
waiver of the conditions precedent specified in SECTION 4.1 hereof in
the case of the initial Advance and SECTION 4.2 hereof in the case of
any subsequent Advance, the Agent shall make the proceeds of each
Advance requested by the Company available to the Company on the date
specified above by causing an amount of same day funds equal to the
proceeds of the Banks' respective Pro Rata Shares of such Warehouse
Advance received by
23
the Agent at its office located at the address set forth in the
preceding sentence to be credited to the Company; provided, however,
with respect to each Wet Advance (whether in the form of a Warehouse
Advance, Swing Advance or Excess Advance), the proceeds thereof shall
be deposited into the Funding Account, and at the option of the Agent,
be (i) wire transferred by the Agent through the Federal Reserve Wire
Transfer System directly to the Company's agent responsible for closing
the related Wet Loan, or if the Company closes its own Wet Loan, then
directly to the Company or the Company's agent, (ii) funded by a draft
on the Agent or one of its affiliates, which draft or check shall be
made payable to the Company's agent responsible for closing the related
Wet Loan, or if the Company closes its own Wet Loan, then directly to
the Company or the Company's agent, (iii) funded by a cashier's check
issued by the Agent on behalf of the Company and made payable to the
Company's agent responsible for closing the related Wet Loan, or (iv)
disbursed in such other manner as is acceptable to the Company and the
Agent.
(c) Assumptions by Agent for Advances; Failure
to Fund by a Bank. Unless the Agent shall have been notified by any
Bank prior to the date that such Bank's Warehouse Pro Rata Share of a
Warehouse Advance is to be made (the "Funding Date") that such Bank
does not intend to make available to the Agent such Bank's Warehouse
Pro Rata Share of such Warehouse Advance requested on such Funding
Date, the Agent may assume that such Bank has made such amount
available to the Agent on such Funding Date and the Agent may, in its
sole discretion, but shall not be obligated to, make available to the
Company a corresponding amount on such Funding Date. If such
corresponding amount is not in fact made available to the Agent by such
Bank, the Agent shall be entitled to recover a One Hundred Dollars
($100.00) processing fee plus such corresponding amount owed on demand
from such Bank together with interest thereon, for each day from such
Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at the
customary rate set by the Agent for the correction of errors among the
Banks for three (3) Business Days and thereafter at the rate otherwise
charged to the Borrower. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding
amount forthwith upon the Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall
notify the other Banks and each of the other Banks shall immediately
pay to the Agent a pro rata share (excluding in such calculation the
Bank which failed to fund) of such amount not funded by a Bank;
provided, however, no Bank shall be obligated to fund any amount under
this Credit Agreement in excess of that Bank's Warehouse Line
Commitment, as applicable. If any portion of the amount not funded by a
Bank is not paid to the Agent by the other Banks in accordance with the
immediately preceding sentence, the Agent shall promptly notify the
Company and the Company shall immediately pay such corresponding amount
to the Agent and shall pay interest on such amount for each day from
such Funding Date until the date such amount is paid to the Agent, at
the applicable interest rate borne by the particular Advance, which
amount shall be paid to the Agent at the next monthly billing. Nothing
in this SECTION 2.4 shall be deemed to relieve any Bank from its
obligation to fulfill its Warehouse Line Commitment hereunder or to
prejudice any rights that the Company may have against any Bank as a
result of any default by such Bank hereunder. In the event any Bank
gives notice to the Agent that such Bank does not intend to fund its
Pro Rata Share of any Warehouse Advance to be made to the Company or in
the event any Bank otherwise fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any
Warehouse Advance to be made to the Company, the Agent shall promptly
notify the other Banks of the occurrence of any such event and the
other Banks shall each fund a pro rata share (excluding in the
calculation the nonfunding Bank) of the nonfunding Bank's Warehouse Pro
Rata Share of each Advance not funded by such Bank; provided, however,
no Bank shall be obligated to fund any amount under this Credit
Agreement in excess of its Warehouse Line Commitment. In the event any
Bank gives notice to the Agent that such Bank does not intend to fund
its Pro Rata Share of any Warehouse Advance to be made to the Company
or in the event any Bank otherwise fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of
any Advance to be made to the Company, the Agent shall telephonically
notify the Company of the occurrence of any such event. The Warehouse
Pro Rata Share of principal payments (from any source whatsoever)
payable hereunder to a Bank which fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of
any
24
Warehouse Advance, including any Warehouse Advance requested by the Agent to
repay any Swing Advance or Excess Advance, shall be paid on a pro rata basis to
the Banks which funded that Bank's Pro Rata Share of such Warehouse Advance,
Swing Advance or Excess Advance, as applicable until the amount which those
Banks funded for the Bank which failed to fund, has been repaid in full (the
"Repayment Date"). Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, in
the event that any Bank fails to fund its Pro Rata Share of any Warehouse
Advance on a Funding Date, if on such Funding Date all conditions precedent to
such Warehouse Advance have been satisfied, such Bank shall forfeit all consent
and voting rights for all purposes hereunder and under the other Loan Documents
for the entire period of time commencing upon its failure to fund on the Funding
Date and ending on the Repayment Date; provided, however, such forfeiture shall
not apply to the right of a Bank to consent to any amendment or modification of
this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents which requires the consent of
the Agent and all of the Banks pursuant to terms of SECTION 9.20 hereof.
2.5 Records.
(a) Advances. The Agent shall record the names
and addresses of the Banks and the Warehouse Pro Rata Shares of the Warehouse
Advances of each Bank from time to time in the records of the Agent. The
Company, the Agent and the Banks may treat each Person whose name is so recorded
in the records of the Agent as a Bank hereunder for all purposes of this Credit
Agreement. The Agent's records maintained pursuant to this SECTION 2.5 shall be
available for inspection by the Company or any Bank at any reasonable time and
from time to time upon reasonable prior notice to the Agent.
(b) Payments. The Agent shall record each
repayment or prepayment in respect of the principal amount of the Banks'
Warehouse Pro Rata Shares in the Advances in the Agent's records. Any such
recordation in accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement shall be
conclusive and binding on the Company absent manifest error; provided, that
failure to make any such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall
not affect the Company's obligation to repay all Advances to the Banks in
accordance with this Credit Agreement, the Warehouse Notes and the Swing Note.
(c) Banks' Records. Each Bank shall record on
its internal records its Warehouse Pro Rata Share of each Advance made by it to
the Company and each payment in respect thereof. Any such recordation in
accordance with the terms of this Credit Agreement shall be conclusive and
binding on the Company absent manifest error; provided, that failure to make any
such recordation, or any error in such recordation, shall not affect the
Company's obligation to repay all Advances to the Banks in accordance with this
Credit Agreement, the Warehouse Notes and the Swing Note; provided further, that
in the event of any inconsistency between the Agent's records and any Bank's
records, the Agent's records shall govern in the absence of manifest or
demonstrable error.
2.6 Certain Representations. Each Request for Advance
shall be deemed to be the representation of the Company and of the officer
making such request that: (a) all conditions precedent set forth in ARTICLE 4
hereof have been satisfied; (b) the Company is in compliance with all financial
covenants set forth in ARTICLE 5 hereof; (c) the representations and warranties
contained in ARTICLE 6 hereof remain true and correct; and (d) no Event of
Default and no Unmatured Event of Default has occurred and is then existing, or
will exist upon completion of the requested Advance.
2.7 Payment of the Notes.
25
(a) Termination Date. On the Termination Date,
without necessity of notice or demand, the Company shall pay to the Agent for
the account of the Banks the full amount of the outstanding principal balance
of, and all accrued but unpaid interest on, the Warehouse Notes and the Swing
Note.
(b) Borrowing Base Deficiency. If, at any time,
and for any reason, including without limitation a reduction in the Collateral
Value or any part thereof by virtue of such value being marked to market, the
sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse Balance plus the Aggregate
Outstanding Excess Balance exceeds the Warehouse Borrowing Base, as determined
by the Agent, then the Company shall immediately pay to the Agent an amount
equal to the amount by which the sum of the Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse
Balance plus the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance exceeds the Warehouse
Borrowing Base.
(c) Proceeds of Collateral. The proceeds from
the Collateral shall be payable to the Agent for application to the Warehouse
Notes and other Secured Obligations under and in accordance with the terms of
the Security Agreement.
2.8 Rates of Interest.
(a) Applicable Rates of Interest. Each Advance
shall bear interest on the unpaid principal amount thereof from the date made
through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise). The outstanding
principal balance of the Swing Note and each Balance Funded Bank's Warehouse
Note shall bear interest as follows: (i) at the per annum rate equal to one and
four-tenths of one percent (1.40%) (the "Balance Funded Rate") for that portion
of the Average Monthly Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse Balance of a Balance
Funded Bank's Warehouse Note which does not exceed the Average Monthly Available
Deposits maintained by the Company with such Balance Funded Bank, and (ii) at
the per annum rate equal to LIBOR plus one and four-tenths of one percent
(1.40%) for that portion of the Average Monthly Aggregate Outstanding Warehouse
Balance of a Balance Funded Bank's Warehouse Note which exceeds such Average
Monthly Available Deposits maintained by the Company with such Balance Funded
Bank. The outstanding principal balance of each Warehouse Note for each Bank
which is not a Balance Funded Bank shall bear interest at the per annum rate
equal to LIBOR plus one and four-tenths of one percent (1.40%) (the "Base
Rate").
(b) Highest Lawful Rate. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Credit Agreement or the Notes, at no
time shall the interest rate payable on the Advances, together with all fees and
other amounts payable hereunder to the extent the same constitute or are deemed
to constitute interest, exceed the maximum rate of interest allowed by
applicable law (the "Highest Lawful Rate"). In respect of any period during the
term of this Credit Agreement, any amount paid to any Bank, to the extent the
same shall (but for the provisions of this SECTION 2.8(b) constitute or be
deemed to constitute interest, would exceed the maximum amount of interest
permitted by the Highest Lawful Rate during such period (such amount being
hereinafter referred to as an "Unqualified Amount"), then, notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this SECTION 2.8, such Unqualified Amount
shall be applied or shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment on the
Advances.
2.9 Interest Payments. As soon as reasonably possible
subsequent to the availability of the account analysis statement, the Agent
shall deliver to the Company and each Bank an interest billing statement (the
"Billing Statement"), which Billing Statement shall set forth the interest
accrued with respect to the outstanding principal balance of the Warehouse Notes
and the Swing Note from and
26
including the first day of the preceding month through the last day of such
month, computed on the assumption that (i) all of the outstanding principal
balances of the Warehouse Notes and the Swing Note for the Balance Funded Banks
shall bear interest at the Balance Funded Rate, and (ii) all of the outstanding
principal balances of the Warehouse Notes for Banks which are not Balance Funded
Banks shall bear interest at the Base Rate; provided, that any failure or delay
in delivering such Billing Statement or any inaccuracy therein shall not affect
any of the Company's obligations and liabilities hereunder. In the event that
all or any portion of the outstanding principal balance of a Note for a Balance
Funded Bank bears interest at the Base Rate during any month, such Bank and the
Company shall reallocate and settle any difference in interest paid by the
Company for such month and the interest due at the Base Rate for such month.
Interest shall be payable, (i) in the case of the outstanding principal balance
of the Swing Note and the outstanding principal balance of the Warehouse Notes
bearing interest at the Balance Funded Rate or the Base Rate, on the fifth (5th)
calendar day after receipt of the Billing Statement referred to above and (ii)
upon repayment of any of the outstanding principal balance of the Swing Note and
the Warehouse Notes at maturity (by reason of acceleration or otherwise). Any
interest accruing at the Default Rate shall be payable on demand.
2.10 Post-Maturity Interest. Any principal payments on the
Swing Note and the Warehouse Notes not paid when due and, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, any interest payments on the Swing Note and
Warehouse Notes or any fees or other amounts owed hereunder not paid when due,
in each case whether at stated maturity, by notice of prepayment, by
acceleration or otherwise, shall thereafter bear interest (including
post-petition interest in any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code or other
applicable bankruptcy laws) payable on demand at a rate equal to the applicable
Default Rate. Payment or acceptance of the increased rates of interest provided
for in this SECTION 2.10 is not a permitted alternative to timely payment and
shall not constitute a waiver of any Event of Default or otherwise prejudice or
limit any rights or remedies of the Agent or any Bank.
2.11 Computation of Interest. Interest on the Warehouse
Advances and Swing Advances shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in
each case for the actual number of calendar days elapsed in the period during
which it accrues.
2.12 General Provisions Regarding Prepayments and
Payments.
(a) Prepayments. The Company may, at any time
and from time to time, prepay all or any portion of the outstanding principal
balance of the Notes without premium or penalty. All prepayments (whether
voluntary or involuntary, at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) of the
outstanding principal balance of the Notes shall be applied, first, to the
repayment of the accrued and unpaid interest on and outstanding principal
balance of the Swing Note to the full extent thereof, second, to any delinquent
fees, costs or expenses, third, to the repayment of the accrued and unpaid
interest on and outstanding principal balance of all Excess Advances under the
National City Warehouse Promissory Note, and, fourth, to the repayment of the
accrued and unpaid interest on and outstanding principal balance of all
Warehouse Advances. All prepayments of the outstanding principal balance of the
Warehouse Notes shall be applied first to principal bearing interest at the Base
Rate to the full extent thereof, then to principal bearing interest at the
Balance Funded Rate to the full extent thereof, in a manner which minimizes the
amount of any payments required to be made by the Company pursuant to SECTION
2.16 hereof.
(b) Manner and Time of Payment. All payments of
principal, interest and fees hereunder, under the Swing Note and under the
Warehouse Notes by the Company shall be made
27
without defense, setoff and counterclaim and upon the Agent's receipt of notice
from the Company, which notice shall not be given later than the fifth (5th)
calendar day after the Company's receipt of the Billing Statement under SECTION
2.9 hereof, the Agent shall be authorized to charge the Company's demand deposit
account maintained by the Agent (Account #754110492) (the "DDA Account") to pay
all principal (to the extent that the funds in the Collateral Proceeds Account
are not sufficient to make a payment of principal), interest and fees due
hereunder, provided there are sufficient funds available in such account for
that purpose. If there are not sufficient funds available in such account for
that purpose or if the Agent has not received notice from the Company
authorizing the Agent to charge the Company's DDA Account, the Company shall
make such payments in same day funds and delivered to the Agent not later than
1:00 p.m. Prevailing Time on the date due at its office located at 000 Xxxxx
Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx, for the account of the Banks; funds received
by the Agent after that time shall be deemed to have been paid by the Company on
the next succeeding Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or
under the Warehouse Notes or Swing Note shall be stated to be due on a day that
is not a Business Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding
Business Day and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
the payment of interest hereunder or under the Warehouse Notes or the Swing Note
or of the fees hereunder, as the case may be.
(c) Apportionment of Payments. Except as
otherwise provided herein, the Agent shall apportion all principal and interest
payments on the Warehouse Notes, in each case proportionately to the Banks'
respective Warehouse Pro Rata Shares. The Agent shall promptly distribute to
each Bank at its primary address set forth below its name on the appropriate
signature page hereof or such other address as any Bank may request, its
Warehouse Pro Rata Share of (i) all such payments when received by the Agent,
and (ii) the Non-Usage and Usage fees under SECTION 2.14 hereof when received by
the Agent.
(d) Payments on a Business Day. Whenever any
payment to be made hereunder or under the Warehouse Notes or the Swing Note
shall be stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, such payment
shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day and such extension of time
shall be included in the computation of the payment of interest on the
underlying principal payment due hereunder, under the Swing Note or the
Warehouse Notes or of the fees hereunder, as the case may be.
2.13 Set-Off. The Company hereby irrevocably authorizes
each Bank, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default to set off the liability
of the Company on the Warehouse Notes and the Swing Note, without notice,
against all deposits and credits of the Company with, and any and all claims of
the Company against, that such Bank at any time outstanding provided, however,
that the Banks shall not offset against deposits and credits of the Company held
in trust or in a custodial capacity for third parties.
2.14 Fees.
(a) Non-Usage Fee. United and Portland jointly
and severally agree to pay to the Agent for the benefit of the Banks in
proportion to their respective Warehouse Pro Rata Shares, a non-usage fee (the

severally agree to pay to the Agent and the Banks the following usage fees (the

Loan/Extended Period Shipped Loan Advances, and all Subprime Loan Advances
relating to Subprime Loans subject to a Commitment from First Franklin, (ii) a
usage fee computed at the rate of one-half of one percent (.50%) per annum times
the average monthly aggregate unpaid principal balance for all Subprime Loan
Advances relating to Subprime Loans not subject to a Commitment from First
Franklin, and (iii) a usage fee computed at the rate of three-quarters of one
percent (.75%) per annum times the average monthly aggregate unpaid principal
balance for all Working Capital Loan Advances.

Portland jointly and severally agree to pay to the Agent such collateral
handling fees (collectively, the "Collateral Handling Fees") and the agent fee
(the "Agent Fee") in the amounts and at the times set forth in the fee letter
issued by the Agent to the Company.
(d) Amendment Fees. United and Portland jointly
and severally agree to (i) reimburse the Agent for all legal fees reasonably
incurred in connection with any amendment to the Loan Documents and (ii) (A) pay
to each of the Banks an amendment fee equal to Three Hundred Seventy Five
Dollars ($375.00) for each amendment to the Loan Documents. Nothing contained in
this SECTION 2.14 shall compel the Agent or the Banks to authorize or execute
any amendment to the Loan Documents, all such amendments being subject to the
complete discretion of the Agent and the Banks.
(e) Payment of Fees. The Non-Usage Fee and Usage
Fee shall be payable in arrears each month and all such fees together with the
Agent fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year, in each case for the
actual number of calendar days elapsed during the period during which it
accrues. The Agent shall compute the amounts of the Non-Usage Fee and the Usage
Fee and include such fees on the Billing Statement to be delivered to the
Company each month under SECTION 2.9 hereof. The Company shall pay to the Agent
the Non-Usage Fee and Usage Fee set forth in such Billing Statement within five
(5) calendar days of its receipt of a Billing Statement.

this SECTION 2.14 once paid shall be non-refundable, in whole or in part under
any circumstances, absent manifest error in the calculation of such fees.
2.15 Commitments. The Company shall obtain and maintain
Commitments which, in the aggregate, equal or exceed the aggregate amount of all
Loans financed and outstanding under this Credit Agreement and all loans under
credit agreements of similar nature with other financial institutions. If an
Event of Default shall occur hereunder or under any other Loan Document, at the
option of the Agent or the Requisite Banks, such Commitments shall be assigned
by the Company to the Agent, for the benefit of the Banks in proportion to their
Pro Rata Shares.
2.16 Special Provisions Governing Base Rate.
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Credit Agreement to the contrary, the Agent's determination of LIBOR shall be
final, conclusive and binding upon all parties in the absence of manifest error.
In the event that (i) it becomes unlawful for the Agent or any Bank to make or
maintain LIBOR loans, or (ii) by reasons of circumstances occurring after the
date of this Credit Agreement affecting the London Interbank Market, adequate
and fair means do not exist for ascertaining LIBOR on the basis provided for in
the definition thereof, the Agent or such Bank shall promptly notify
29
the Company, and Agent's or such Bank's obligation to offer the Base Rates shall
be suspended during such period of time.
(b) In the event any applicable law, order,
regulation, treaty or directive issued by any central bank or other governmental
authority, or in the governmental or judicial interpretation thereof, or
compliance by the Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) issued subsequent to the date hereof by any central bank or other
governmental authority:
(i) does or shall subject the Agent or
any Bank to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Credit Agreement
or any Advances made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation of payments to
the Agent or any Bank of principal, fee, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder except for the change in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
the Agent or any Bank imposed by the jurisdiction in which Agent or any Bank
maintains its principal office; or
(ii) does or shall impose on the Agent
or any Bank any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Agent or
any Bank of making any Advance or renewing or maintaining this Credit Agreement
or reduce any amount receivable in respect thereof or to reduce the rate of
return on the capital of the Agent or any Bank or any Person controlling the
Agent or any Bank, then in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay to the
Agent or any Bank upon its written demand any additional amounts necessary to
compensate the Agent or any Bank for such additional cost or reduced amounts
receivable or rate of return as reasonably determined by Agent or any Bank with
respect to this Credit Agreement or Advances made hereunder. If the Agent or any
Bank becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this section,
it shall promptly notify the Company of the event by reason of which it has
become so entitled and provide the Company with a certificate specifying any
additional amounts payable and how they are calculated. The provisions of this
section shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement and payment of
all other Secured Obligations.

is not covered by insurance.

9.20 hereof, and at the direction of the Requisite Banks, shall (provided,
however, that if any Event of Default specified in SECTIONS 8.1(a), 8.1(f) or

condition contained in the Loan Documents or in aid of the exercise of any right
granted to the Agent or a Bank in this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document.

observe or perform any covenant, duty, or promise by it to be observed or
performed under the terms of this Credit Agreement or
47

without any obligation to do so, perform or attempt to perform, such covenant,
duty, or promise on behalf of the Company, and, in the event the Agent or a Bank
should do so, the Company shall immediately upon demand reimburse the Agent and

negotiation, or otherwise, such reasonable attorneys', accountants' and other
third parties' fees as are incurred by the Agent or a Bank in connection
therewith shall be payable by the Company to the fullest extent allowed by law

determined that the Company is liable to the Agent or a Bank hereunder or under

Default has occurred hereunder or if it is otherwise determined that the Company

and creditor, and the Banks neither undertake nor assume any responsibility or
duty to review, inspect, supervise, pass judgment upon, or inform the Company of
any matter in connection with any aspect or phase of the Company's businesses,
operations, or condition, financial or otherwise. The Company shall rely
entirely upon its own judgment with respect to all such matters, and any review
of, inspection of, supervision of, exercise of judgment on, or supply of
information to, the Company by the Agent or a Bank in connection with any such
matter is for the protection and benefit of the Banks, and neither the Company
nor any third party is entitled to rely thereon.
9.3 Waivers, etc. No failure to exercise and no delay in
exercising, on the part of the Banks or the Agent or any holder of the Notes, of
any power or right hereunder or under the Notes or the other Loan Documents and
no course of dealing between the Company and the Agent or a Bank or the
48
holder of the Notes, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise
thereof or the exercise of any other power or right.
9.4 Amendments. Except as set forth in SECTION 9.20
hereof, no amendment, modification, or supplement to this Credit Agreement, the

subject to waiver by any party and shall be strictly enforced.
9.5 Taxes. The Company agrees to pay, and save the Agent
and the Banks harmless from all liability for, any stamp or other taxes
(otherwise than by a change in taxation of a Bank's overall net income) which
may be payable with respect to the execution or delivery of this Credit
Agreement, the Notes, and the other Loan Documents, which obligation of the
Company shall survive the termination of this Credit Agreement.

construed in accordance with and governed by the law of the Commonwealth of
Kentucky, without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof. Any
suit, action, or proceeding against the Company with respect to this Credit

to do so. The Company hereby irrevocably waives any and all objections to the
jurisdiction of said courts, including without limitation lack of personal

process, summons, or complaint upon the Company may be made by mail upon it at
the address stated in this Credit Agreement, upon any registered agent for

provisions of this Credit Agreement.
9.8 Reliance by the Banks. All covenants, agreements,

Agreement.
9.12 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Credit Agreement
and any amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any
number of counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate

same instrument. This Credit Agreement shall become effective upon the receipt
by the Agent of (a) a counterpart hereof duly executed by the Company, the Banks
and the Agent, and (b) a counterpart of each of the other Loan Documents duly
executed by each of the parties thereto.

this Credit Agreement are a part hereof, and are hereby incorporated by
reference as if fully set out where first mentioned herein.
9.15 Indemnity. United and Portland shall jointly and
severally indemnify and hold harmless the Banks and the Agent, and their
respective successors, assigns, agents and employees, from and against any and
all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, costs, expenses, damages, fines,
penalties and liabilities, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys'

Agent's or such Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct. At the Agent's
and/or each Bank's request, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense,
defend or cause to be defended any and all such actions or suits that may be

of the other Loan Documents, unless the claim arose due to gross negligence or
willful misconduct on the part of such Agent or Bank and, in any event, shall
satisfy, pay and discharge any and all judgments, awards, penalties, costs and
fines that may be recovered against the applicable Agent or Bank in any such
action, plus all reasonable attorneys' fees and
50
costs related thereto to the extent permitted by applicable law; provided,
however, that each Bank shall give the Company, to the extent such Agent or Bank
seeks indemnification from the Company under this SECTION 9.15, written notice
of any such claim, demand or suit as soon as practicable after the applicable
Bank has received written notice thereof, and the applicable Agent or Bank shall
not settle any such claim, demand or suit, if such Agent or Bank seeks
indemnification therefor from the Company, without first giving notice to
Company of such Agent or Bank's desire to settle and obtaining the consent of
Company to the same, which consent Company hereby agrees not to unreasonably
withhold or delay.
9.16 Role of the Banks. Notwithstanding any of the terms
or conditions hereof or of the other Loan Documents to the contrary, the Banks
shall not have, and by their execution and acceptance of this Credit Agreement
hereby expressly disclaim, any obligation or responsibility for the management,
conduct or operation of the business and affairs of the Company. Any term or
condition hereof, or of any of the other Loan Documents, permitting the Banks to
take or refrain from taking any action with respect to the Company or the
Collateral shall be deemed solely to permit the Banks to audit and review the
management, operation and conduct of the business and affairs of the Company and
to maintain and preserve the security given by the Company to the Agent, in its
capacity as agent for the Banks, for the Secured Obligations, and may not be
relied upon by any other Person. Further, the Banks shall not have, have not
assumed, and by their execution and acceptance of this Credit Agreement hereby
expressly disclaim, any liability or responsibility for the payment or
performance of any indebtedness or obligation of the Company, and no term or
condition hereof, or of any of the other Loan Documents, shall be construed
otherwise.
9.17 Notices. All notices required or permitted to be
given hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be personally delivered or

9.18 Ratable Sharing. Except as otherwise specifically set
forth in this Credit Agreement, including without limitation, in ARTICLE 2
hereof and this SECTION 9.18, each Bank agrees with each other Bank that (i)
with respect to all amounts received by them which are applicable to the payment
of principal of or interest on the Warehouse Advances or fees relating thereto
including, without limitation, all amounts received by such Bank pursuant to the
exercise of the right of set-off pursuant to this Credit Agreement, equitable
adjustment will be made so that all such amounts will be shared among the Banks
proportionately to their respective Pro Rata Shares whether received by
voluntary payment, by the exercise of the right of set-off or banker's lien, by
counterclaim or cross action or by the enforcement of any or all of the Secured
Obligations owed by the Company to the Banks hereunder and under the Notes, and
(ii) if any of them shall exercise any right of counterclaim, set-off, banker's
lien or similar right with respect to amounts owed by the Company hereunder,
that Bank shall apportion the amount recovered as a result of the exercise of
such right pro rata in accordance with (a) all amounts outstanding at such time
owed by the Company to it hereunder, and (b) all amounts otherwise owed by the
Company to it, and (iii) if any of them shall thereby through the exercise of
any right of counterclaim, set-off, banker's lien or otherwise, or as adequate
protection of a deposit treated as cash collateral under the Bankruptcy Code,
receive payment or reduction of a proportion of the aggregate amount of
principal and interest due with respect to the Warehouse Advances made by that
Bank or any other amount payable hereunder (collectively, the "Aggregate Amount
Due" to such Bank), which is greater than the proportion received by any other
Bank in respect of the Aggregate Amount Due to such other Bank, then the Bank
receiving such proportionately greater payment shall (y) notify each other Bank
and the Agent of such receipt and (z) purchase participations (which it shall be
deemed to have done simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in the
Aggregate Amount Due to the other Banks so that all recoveries of Aggregate
Amount Due shall be shared by the Banks in proportion to their respective Pro
Rata Shares; provided that if all of part of such proportionately greater
payment received by such purchasing Bank is thereafter recovered from such Bank,
those purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for such
participations shall be returned to that Bank to the extent of such recovery,
but without interest. The Company expressly consents to the foregoing
arrangements and agrees that any participant in respect of any Advance may
exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with
respect to any and all rights of banker's lien, set-off or counterclaim with
respect to any and all monies owing by the Company to that participant as fully
as if that participant were a Bank in the amount of such participation held by
that participant. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary,
immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, acceleration of the
Secured Obligations and/or termination, the Banks hereby absolutely and
unconditionally agree to purchase or sell, as applicable, such participation in
the Warehouse Advances, Swing Advances and Excess Advances outstanding as shall
be required to assure that each Bank holds its Warehouse Commitment Pro Rata
Share of all such Advances.
9.19 Assignment. This Credit Agreement may not be assigned
by the Company. All rights of the Banks hereunder shall inure to the benefit of
their respective successors and assigns, and all obligations, covenants and
agreements of the Company shall bind its successors and assigns, if any.
52
9.20 Consent of Banks. Any amendment or modification of
this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or waiver of any term,
provision or requirement hereof or thereof, shall require the affirmative
written consent of the Agent and the Requisite Banks; provided, notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the following shall require the affirmative
written consent of the Agent and all of the Banks: (i) except as permitted under
the terms of the Security Agreement, the release of any part of the Collateral
from the liens respectively created by the Loan Documents, (ii) the termination,
cancellation or release of any Loan Documents, (iii) the decrease in the
interest rate(s) borne by the Advances, other than decreases in the interest
rate(s) borne by the Advances by virtue of any decreases or changes in the LIBOR
as expressly contemplated herein, (iv) any reduction in the amount of the
installments of principal due under this Credit Agreement or the Notes or in the
aggregate principal amount of principal due thereunder, (v) any extension of the
Termination Date or the due dates of any installments of principal of and/or
accrued interest on the Notes, (vi) any change in the definition of the term
Requisite Banks or any of the various advance sublimits, (vii) any change in the
amount or the calculation of the Usage Fees or Non-Usage Fee, (viii) any change
in the computation of (including any change in the definition of any term used
in) the Warehouse Borrowing Base, or (ix) any amendment to SECTIONS 2.7, 2.16,
9.15 AND 9.18 hereof or this SECTION 9.20 or any other section of this Credit
Agreement that expressly requires the consent of all of the Banks. In addition
to the foregoing, and notwithstanding anything in this Credit Agreement to the
contrary, no amendment, modification or waiver shall increase a Bank's Warehouse
Line Commitment without the prior written consent of the Company, the Agent and
such Bank; provided, however, the consent of the other Banks shall not be
required to implement an increase to the Total Warehouse Line Commitment whether
such increase shall be on a temporary or permanent basis.
ARTICLE 10
THE AGENT
10.1 Appointment. Each Bank hereby irrevocably designates,
appoints and authorizes National City to act as Agent for such Bank under this
Credit Agreement, to act as collateral agent for such Bank under all Loan
Documents and all Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statements filed pursuant
thereto and to execute and deliver or accept on behalf of each of the Banks the
other Loan Documents. Each Bank hereby irrevocably appoints, designates and
authorizes the Agent to act as the Agent under and in accordance with the
provisions of the Security Agreement. Each Bank hereby irrevocably authorizes,
and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of such Note shall be deemed
irrevocably to authorize, the Agent to take such action on behalf of such Bank
and such holder under the provisions of this Credit Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein, and to
exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof, together with such
powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. National City agrees to act as the
Agent on behalf of the Banks to the extent provided in this Credit Agreement,
and National City expressly acknowledges and agrees that it is holding the other
Loan Documents for the benefit of the Banks to secure the payment and
performance of the Notes and the other obligations of the Company under the Loan
Documents.
10.2 Delegation of Duties. The Agent may perform any of its
duties hereunder by or through agents or employees and, subject to SECTIONS

matters pertaining to its duties hereunder and to rely upon any advice so
obtained.

10.3 Nature of Duties; Independent Credit Investigation.
The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set
forth in this Credit Agreement and the other Loan Documents and no implied
covenants, functions, responsibilities, duties, obligations, or liabilities
shall be read into this Credit Agreement or shall otherwise exist. National City
agrees that it shall administer its responsibilities and duties as Agent
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents with at least the same degree of
care that it customarily employs in the administration of similar credit
facilities for its own account. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and
administrative in nature and shall include the duty to provide to each Bank an
executed original of such Bank's Note and an executed original of this Credit
Agreement and a copy of the other Loan Documents; the Agent shall not have by
reason of this Credit Agreement a fiduciary or trust relationship in respect of
any Bank; and nothing in this Credit Agreement, expressed or implied, is
intended to or shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations
in respect of this Credit Agreement except as expressly set forth herein. The
Agent shall provide the Banks copies of all notices and documents received by it
in its capacity as Agent hereunder or under any of the other Loan Documents
except as otherwise specifically provided herein. Each Bank expressly
acknowledges (i) that the Agent has not made any representations or warranties
to it and that no act by the Agent hereafter taken, including any review of the
affairs of the Company shall be deemed to constitute any representation or
warranty by the Agent to any Bank; (ii) that it has made and will continue to
make, without reliance upon the Agent, its own independent investigation of the
financial condition and affairs and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of
the Company in connection with this Credit Agreement and the making and
continuance of the Warehouse Advances hereunder; and (iii) except as expressly
provided herein, that the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility, either
initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Bank with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the
making of any Advance or at any time or times thereafter.
10.4 Actions in Discretion of the Agent; Instructions from
the Banks. The Agent agrees, upon the written request of the Requisite Banks, to
take or refrain from taking any action of the type specified as being within the
Agent's rights, powers or discretion herein, provided that the Agent shall not
be required to take any action which exposes the Agent to legal liability or
which is contrary to this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Documents or
applicable law. In the absence of a request by the Requisite Banks, the Agent
shall have authority, in its sole discretion, to take or not to take any such
action, unless this Credit Agreement specifically requires the consent of the
Requisite Banks or all of the Banks. Any action taken or failure to act pursuant
to such instructions or discretion shall be binding on the Banks, subject to
SECTION 10.6 hereof. Subject to the provisions of SECTION 10.6 hereof, no Bank
shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the
Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder in accordance with the
instructions of the Requisite Banks or all of the Banks, as applicable, or in
the absence of such instructions, in the absolute discretion of the Agent.
10.5 Reimbursement and Indemnification of the Agent by the
Company. United and Portland jointly and severally and unconditionally agree to
pay or reimburse the Agent and save the Agent harmless against (i) liability for
the payment of all reasonable and necessary out-of-pocket costs, expenses and
disbursements, including fees and expenses of counsel and consultants, incurred
by the Agent (a) in connection with the development, negotiation, preparation,
printing, execution, interpretation and performance of this Credit Agreement and
the other Loan Documents, subject to the provisions of SECTIONS 9.1 and 10.7
hereof, (b) relating to any Company requested amendments, waivers or consents
pursuant to the provisions hereof, (c) in connection with the enforcement of
this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document or collection of amounts due
hereunder or thereunder or the proof and allowability of any claim arising under
this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, whether in bankruptcy or
receivership proceedings or otherwise, and (d) in any workout or restructuring
or in connection with the
54
protection, preservation, exercise or enforcement of any of the terms hereof or
of any rights hereunder or under any other Loan Document or in connection with
any foreclosure/repurchase, collection or bankruptcy proceedings, and (ii) all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such,
in any way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder;
provided that United and Portland shall not be liable for any portion of such
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses or disbursements (a) if the same results from the Agent's or the
Bank's gross negligence or willful misconduct, or (b) if the Company was not
given notice of the subject claim and the opportunity to participate in the
defense thereof, at its expense, or (c) if the same results from a compromise or
settlement agreement entered into without the consent of the Company which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.
10.6 Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Agent nor any of
its directors, officers, employees, agents or affiliates shall (i) be liable to
any Bank for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them hereunder, or
in connection herewith including pursuant to any other Loan Documents, including
without limitation, the provision of any notice or copies of documents to the
Banks, unless caused by its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct,
(ii) be responsible in any manner to any of the Banks for the effectiveness,
enforceability, genuineness, validity or the due execution of this Credit
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for any recital, representation,
warranty, document, certificate, report or statement herein or made or furnished
under or in connection with this Credit Agreement or any other Loan Document, or
(iii) be under any obligation to any of the Banks to ascertain or to inquire as
to the performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions
hereof or thereof on the part of the Company, or the financial condition of the
Company, or the existence or possible existence of any Event of Default or
default under the Loan Documents. Neither the Agent nor any Bank nor any of
their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, attorneys or affiliates
shall be liable to the Company or any other Person for consequential damages
resulting from any breach of contract, tort or other wrong in connection with
the negotiation, documentation or administration of the Loan Documents or the
collection of the Warehouse Advances, except for those caused by or resulting
from the gross negligence or willful misconduct thereof.
10.7 Reimbursement and Indemnification of the Agent by the
Banks. Each Bank agrees to reimburse and indemnify the Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Company and without limiting the obligation of the Company to
do so) in proportion to its Pro Rata Share from and against all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent, in its capacity as such, in any
way relating to or arising out of this Credit Agreement or any other Loan
Document or any action taken or omitted by the Agent hereunder or thereunder,
provided that no such reimbursement shall be required with respect to expenses
incurred by the Agent during the time period through the date hereof and no Bank
shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
if the same relates to or arises out of the Agent's gross negligence or willful
misconduct.
10.8 Reliance by the Agent. The Agent shall be entitled to
rely upon any writing, telegram, telex or teletype message, facsimile,
resolution, notice, consent, certificate, letter, cablegram, statement, order or
other document or conversation by telephone or otherwise believed by it to be
genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person
or Persons, and upon the advice and opinions of counsel and other professional
advisers selected by the Agent. The Agent shall be fully
55
justified in failing or refusing to take any action hereunder unless it shall
first be indemnified to is satisfaction by the Banks against any and all
liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or
continuing to take any such action.
10.9 Notice of Default. The Agent shall not be deemed to
have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any default under the Loan
Documents or Event of Default unless the Agent has received written notice from
a Bank or the Company referring to this Credit Agreement, specifically
describing such default or Event of Default and stating that such notice is a
"notice of default." In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of an
occurrence of an Event of Default, the Agent shall give prompt notice thereof to
the Banks. If an Event of Default shall occur, the Agent shall take such actions
as shall be reasonably directed by the Requisite Banks or all of the Banks, as
applicable. Unless and until the Agent shall have received such instructions,
the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from
taking such action, as it shall deem advisable in the best interests of the
Banks.
10.10 The Banks in Their Individual Capacities. With
respect to its Warehouse Line Commitment and the Warehouse Advances made by it,
the entity which is the Agent shall have the same rights and powers hereunder as
any other Bank and may exercise the same as though it were not the Agent, and
the term "Banks" shall, unless the context otherwise indicates, include the
entity which is the Agent in its individual capacity. National City and its
affiliates and each of the Banks and their respective affiliates may, without
liability to account, except as prohibited herein, make loans to, accept
deposits from, discount drafts for, act as trustee under indentures of, and
generally engage in any kind of banking or trust business with, the Company and
its Affiliates, in the case of the entity which is the Agent, as though it were
not acting as Agent hereunder and in the case of each Bank, as though such Bank
were not a Bank hereunder.
10.11 Holders of Notes. The Agent may deem and treat any
payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until
written notice of the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with
the Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who at the time of
making such request or giving such authority or consent is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or
assignee of such Note or of any Note or Notes issued in exchange therefor.
10.12 Successor Agent. The Agent (i) may resign as Agent
with the consent of the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld,
or (ii) shall resign if such resignation is requested by the Requisite Banks, in
either case (i) or (ii) by giving not less than ninety (90) calendar days prior
written notice to the Company and the Banks. If the Agent shall resign under
this Credit Agreement, then either (a) the Requisite Banks shall appoint from
among the Banks a successor agent for the Banks, subject to the consent of such
successor agent by the Company, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, or
(b) if a successor agent shall not be so appointed and approved within the
ninety (90) calendar day period following the Agent's notice to the Banks of its
resignation, then the Agent shall appoint, with the consent of the Company, such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld, a successor agent who shall serve as
Agent until such time as the Requisite Banks appoint, and the Company consents,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, to the appointment of, a
successor agent. Upon its appointment pursuant to either clause (a) or (b)
above, such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
the Agent and the term "Agent" shall mean such successor agent, effective upon
its appointment, and the former Agent's rights, powers and duties as Agent shall
be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such
former Agent or any of the parties to this Credit Agreement. After the
resignation of any Agent hereunder, the provisions of this ARTICLE 10 shall not
by reason of such
56
resignation be deemed to be released from liability for any actions taken or not
taken by it while it was an Agent under this Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, during the occurrence and continuance
of an Event of Default hereunder, all actions may be taken under this SECTION
10.12 without the necessity of obtaining the consent of the Company.
10.13 Calculations. In the absence of gross negligence or
willful misconduct, the Agent shall not be liable for any error in computing the
amount payable to any Bank whether in respect of the Warehouse Advances or the
fees or other amounts due to the Banks under this Credit Agreement. In the event
an error in computing any amount payable to any Bank is made, the Agent, the
Company and each affected Bank shall, forthwith upon discovery of such error,
make such adjustments as shall be required to correct such error. In no event,
however, shall the Company be required to pay more than the amount of error
itself.
10.14 Beneficiaries. Except as set forth in SECTIONS 10.5
AND 10.12 hereof, the provisions of this ARTICLE 10 are solely for the benefit
of the Agent and the Banks, and the Company shall not have any rights to rely on
or enforce any of the provisions hereof. In performing its functions and duties
under this Credit Agreement, the Agent shall act solely as agent of the Banks
and does not assume and shall not be deemed to have assumed any obligation
toward or relationship of agency or trust with or for the Company or any other
Person.
10.15 Amendment and Restatement. This Credit Agreement is
an amendment and restatement of that certain Warehousing Credit Agreement dated
as of March 16, 2001, as amended from time to time, among the Company, the Agent
and the lenders party thereto.
10.16 Joint and Several Liability of United and Portland.
Each of United and Portland (each an "obligor) shall be liable for all amounts
due to the Agent and to the Banks under this Credit Agreement and under each of
the other Loan Documents, regardless of which of United or Portland actually
receives the Advances or other extensions of credit hereunder or the manner in
which the Agent or the Banks account for such Advances on their books and
records. The Secured Obligations shall be primary obligations of each of United
and Portland hereunder and under each of the other Loan Documents. The Secured
Obligations arising as a result of the joint and several liability of United and
Portland hereunder shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be
unconditional irrespective of (i) the validity or enforceability, avoidance or
subordination of the Secured Obligations of the other obligor or of any
promissory note or other document evidencing all or any part of the Secured
Obligations of the other obligor, (ii) the absence of any attempt to collect the
Secured Obligations from the other obligor, any other guarantor or any other
security therefore, or the absence of any other action to enforce the same,
(iii) the waiver, consent, extension, forbearance or granting of any indulgence
by the Agent and/or the Banks with respect to any provision of any instrument
evidencing the Secured Obligations of the other obligor, or any part thereof, or
any other agreement now or hereafter executed by the other obligor and delivered
to the Agent and/or the Banks, (iv) the failure by the Agent and the Banks to
take any steps to perfect and maintain their security interests in, or to
preserve their rights to, any security or collateral for the Secured Obligations
of the other obligor, (v) the Agent's or the Banks' election, in any preceding
instituted under the Bankruptcy Code, of the application of Section 1111(b)(2)
of the Bankruptcy Code, (vi) any borrowing or grant of a security interests by
the other obligor, as debtor-n-possession under Section 364 of the Bankruptcy
Code, (vii) the disallowance of all or any portion of the Agent's or Banks'
claim(s) for the repayment of the Secured Obligations of the other obligor under
Section 502 of the Bankruptcy Code, or (viii) any other circumstances which
might constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense of any guarantor or
of the other obligor. With respect to the Secured Obligations arising as a
result of the joint
57
and several liability of United and Portland, each of United and Portland
waives, until the Secured Obligations have been paid in full and the Credit
Agreement shall have been terminated, any right to enforce any right of
subrogation or any remedy which the Agent and the Banks now have or may have
hereafter against either obligor, any endorser or any guarantor of all or any
part of the Secured Obligations, in any benefit of, in any right to participate
in, any security or collateral given to the Agent or to the Banks to secure
payment of the Secured Obligations or any other liability of United or Portland
to the Agent and the Banks. Upon any Event of Default, the Agent and the Banks
may proceed directly and at once, without notice, against either or both of
United or Portland to collect and recover the full amount, or any portion of the
Secured Obligations, without first proceeding against the other obligor or any
other Person, or against any security or collateral for the Secured Obligations.
Each of United and Portland consents and agrees that the Agent and the Banks
shall be under no obligation to marshaling any assets in favor of either or both
of United or Portland or against or in payment of any or all of the Secured
Obligations.
ARTICLE 11
ADDITIONAL BANKS; INCREASES IN WAREHOUSE LINE COMMITMENTS;
ASSIGNMENTS AND PARTICIPATIONS
11.1 Additional Banks; Increases in Warehouse Line
Commitment. The Agent may with the consent of the Company (provided, however,
such consent shall not be required during the occurrence and continuance of any
Event of Default) at any time propose that one or more commercial banks each of
which is organized under the laws of the United States or any state thereof or
organized under the laws of any other country, or a political subdivision
thereof (provided that such foreign bank is acting through a branch or agency
located in the United States, or is organized under the laws of a country that
is a member of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development or a
political subdivision of such country), is regularly engaged in the business of
mortgage warehouse lending, and has capital and surplus of at least Three
Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000.00)(each, an "Applicant Financial
Institution") become an additional Bank hereunder. At such time, the Company or
the Agent, as applicable, shall notify the other parties hereto of the identity
of such Applicant Financial Institution and such Applicant Financial
Institution's proposed Warehouse Line Commitment (which must not be less than
Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and which must be a multiple of Five
Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00)); provided, however, notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, without the prior written consent of the Agent
and the Requisite Banks, the Total Warehouse Line Commitment shall never exceed
One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars ($150,000,000.00). The Agent and the Company
shall mutually agree on the effective date on which such Applicant Financial
Institution shall become a party hereto and a Bank hereunder (the "Adjustment
Date"). On such Adjustment Date: (i) the Agent shall deliver to the Company and
each of the Banks a Commitment Schedule and Allocation Notice in the form
attached hereto as EXHIBIT H and made a part hereof by this reference to be
effective from such Adjustment Date; (ii) such Applicant Financial Institution
shall pay to the Agent, no later than 12:00 noon Prevailing Time, an amount
equal to such Applicant Financial Institution's Pro Rata Share of the Aggregate
Outstanding Warehouse Balance and the Aggregate Outstanding Excess Balance to be
funded on such Adjustment Date, as applicable, whereupon, the Agent shall
thereupon remit to the Banks their respective shares of such funds, as
applicable, and following such Adjustment Date, fees and interest accrued on
Loans to but not including such Adjustment Date shall be payable to the Banks in
accordance with their respective Pro Rata Shares prior to such Adjustment Date
before giving effect to the readjustment thereof pursuant to the Commitment
Schedule and Allocation Notice provided by the Company on such Adjustment Date;
(iii) the Agent, the Company and such Applicant Financial
58
Institution shall execute and deliver an agreement in the form attached hereto
as EXHIBIT G and made a part hereof by this reference (an "Additional Lender
Agreement"), which agreement shall constitute an amendment to this Credit
Agreement to the extent necessary to reflect the inclusion of such Applicant
Financial Institution as a Bank hereunder, and if in connection with the
inclusion of such Applicant Financial Institution as a Bank hereunder, the Total
Warehouse Line Commitment will be increased, the parties hereto will execute any
additional amendments to the Loan Documents as the Agent reasonably requests to
reflect such increase; (iv) the Company shall execute and deliver a new
Warehouse Note, as applicable, to such Applicant Financial Institution; (v)
subject to the requirements described above, such Applicant Financial
Institution shall become a party hereto and a Bank hereunder and shall be
entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Bank hereunder and
under the other Loan Documents and shall be subject to all obligations of a Bank
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and (vi) the Applicant Financial
Institution shall pay to the Agent a registration fee in an amount determined by
the Agent in its sole discretion covering the admission of the Applicant
Financial Institution into this Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, the Company may, with the prior written
consent of the Agent and the Requisite Banks, reduce the Total Warehouse Line
Commitment in multiples of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00); provided,
however, any such reduction (y) shall not reduce the Agent's Warehouse Pro Rate
Share to less than twenty-two percent (22%), and (z) any such reduction shall be
prorated as to the Banks, except reductions which occur during the annual
renewal period which shall only require the consent of the Company and the
Agent. Furthermore, the Company may, with the prior written consent of the
Agent, remove any financial institution as a Bank hereunder with or without
cause. In addition to the foregoing and notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, the Agent and the Company may in their joint discretion
implement an increase in the Total Warehouse Line Commitment, on either a
temporary or permanent basis, by increasing any particular Bank's respective
Warehouse Line Commitment; provided: (i) no Bank's Warehouse Line Commitment may
be increased without such Bank's prior written consent, (ii) any such increase
must not be less than Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00) and must be a
multiple of Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000.00); (iii) the Total Warehouse Line
Commitment shall never exceed One Hundred Fifty Million Dollars
($150,000,000.00) without the prior written consent of the Agent and the
Requisite Banks; and (iv) the Agent, the Company and the respective Bank whose
Warehouse Line Commitment is increasing (the "Increased Bank") shall mutually
agree on the Adjustment Date for such increase and on such Adjustment Date [a]
the Agent shall deliver to the Company and each Bank a Commitment Schedule and
Allocation Notice to be effective from such Adjustment Date, [b] the Agent, the
Company and the Increased Bank shall execute and deliver to the other Banks an
amendment document implementing such increase, and [c] the Company shall execute
and deliver a new Warehouse Promissory Note to such Increased Bank reflecting
such increase.
11.2 Assignments and Participations. Any Bank may, with
the prior written consent of the Agent and Company, which consent shall not
unreasonably be withheld, assign all or any portion of its interests, rights and
obligations under this Agreement (including all or a portion of its Warehouse
Line Commitment, Loans, or its Warehouse Note) to one or more banks or other
financial institutions having experience as a co-bank in credit facilities
similar to the Agreement (each an "Assignee"), provided, however, (a) no such
consent by the Agent and Company shall be required in the case of any assignment
to another Bank or any Affiliate of such Bank or another Bank; (b) no such
consent by Agent and Company shall be required in the case of an assignment
while an Event of Default exists and is continuing; and (c) any partial
assignment shall be in an amount at least equal to $5,000,000.00 and integral
multiples of $500,000.00 in excess thereof, and (c) each such assignment shall
be effected by means of an assignment agreement reasonably acceptable to Agent,
the assigning Bank and the Assignee (an "Assignment and Acceptance Agreement").
From and after the effective date specified in the Assignment
59
and Acceptance Agreement approved by the Agent, the Assignee thereunder shall be
a party hereto and have the rights and obligations of the assigning Bank
hereunder, the assigning Bank shall be relieved from its obligations hereunder
to a corresponding extent, this Credit Agreement shall be amended to reflect
such assignment, and the Agent and the Company shall make appropriate
arrangements so that a new Note is issued to the Assignee and such assigning
Bank, as appropriate. In connection with any such assignment, the assigning Bank
shall pay to the Agent an administration fee for processing such assignment in
the amount of $2,500.00. Each Bank may, at no additional cost to the Company,
grant participations in all or any part of the outstanding principal balance of
its Warehouse Note and its Warehouse Line Commitment to one or more Persons
provided that (i) any such disposition shall not, without the consent of the
Company, require the Company to file a registration statement with the
Securities and Exchange Commission or apply to qualify the Warehouse Advances or
the Warehouse Notes under the blue sky law of any state; (ii) the holder of any
such participation shall not be entitled to require such Bank to take or omit to
take any action hereunder; and (iii) any Person to whom such disposition has
been made shall not be considered a "Bank" for purposes of this Credit
Agreement. No Bank shall, as between the Company and that Bank, be relieved of
any of its obligations hereunder as a result of any granting of participations
in all or any part of the outstanding principal balance of its Warehouse Note or
its Warehouse Line Commitment of or other obligations owed to such Bank.
Notwithstanding anything contained here and to the contrary, any Bank may at any
time pledge or assign all or any portion of such Bank's rights under this Credit
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank.
