THIS MASTER MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASING AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made and
dated as of October 7, 1992, by and between FIRST COLLATERAL SERVICES, INC., a
corporation organized under the laws of California (the "Purchaser") and XXXXXX
MORTGAGE CORPORATION, a corporation organized under the laws of California (the
"Originator"):
AGREEMENT
1. Loan Purchases
--------------
(a) Loan Purchase Limit. On the terms and subject to the conditions set
-------------------
forth herein, Purchaser agrees that it shall from time to time to the Maturity
Date (as that term and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein are
defined in paragraph 9 below) purchase loans (the "Loan" or "Loans") from
Originator in principal amounts not to exceed, in the aggregate at any time held
by Purchaser, the lesser of:
(1) the Loan Purchase Limit; or
(2) the Loan Repurchasing Base.
(b) Procedure for Request and Purchase of Loans. The Originator shall on
-------------------------------------------
each proposed purchase date complete and deliver a Loan Purchase Request in the
form of Exhibit 1 hereto and accompanying required documents to Purchaser, as
defined in the Commitment Letter. It is expressly agreed that Purchaser may from
time to time purchase Loans hereunder by remitting funds in a manner and to a
beneficiary, specified by Originator, and who is acceptable to Purchaser in its
absolute discretion. Purchaser may reject and refuse to purchase any loan in its
sole discretion for any reason whatsoever. Originator hereby covenants and
agrees that Purchaser shall not be liable for transfer of funds to an incorrect
account number, street address, or beneficiary, supplied by Originator or other
party, or failure of transfer due to circumstances beyond the control of
Purchaser. Originator agrees to indemnify Purchaser and hold Purchaser harmless
from any claims or liabilities arising out of such mistake or error or failure
of transfer due to circumstances beyond the control of Purchaser.
(c) Book Account. The Purchaser shall maintain an account on its books of
------------
all Loans purchased from Originator and not yet resold called a Book Account.
Not more frequently than once each month, Purchaser shall deliver a monthly
statement of the Book Account to the Originator which monthly statement shall be
deemed conclusively correct and accepted by Originator unless the Originator
notifies Purchaser to the contrary within ten (10) business days following
delivery of such statement to the Originator.
(d) Loan Purchasing Fee. A Loan Purchasing Fee is due and payable upon
-------------------
receipt by Originator of the monthly statement delivered by Purchaser to the
Originator commencing upon receipt of the first such billing to and including
Maturity (whether at the stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise).
Originator shall pay to Purchaser a Loan Purchasing Fee on Loans purchased
hereunder and held by Purchaser in warehouse from the date purchased to but not
including the day of payment in the amount billed by Purchaser to Originator
calculated on the principal amount of Loans purchased from Originator and held
by Purchaser in warehouse during the monthly computation period. The Loan
Purchasing Fee shall be calculated at the Prevailing Purchasing Fee Rate, but if
payment is not received by Purchaser on or before the 20th day of the month (or
if the 20th is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the next succeeding business day),
a Late Purchasing Fee will be charged from the 21st day of the month (or if the
21st is a Saturday, Sunday or holiday, the next succeeding business day) to but
not including the date of payment in the amount billed to Originator by
Purchaser. Receipt by the Originator of the monthly statement shall constitute
authorization to release funds from the segregated accounts required under 1 (f)
of this Agreement to pay towards the Loan Purchasing Fee.
(e) Take-Out Purchase. Originator shall provide to Purchaser at the time
-----------------
of each Loan purchase a Take-Out Purchase Commitment at a specified price and
from a Qualified Take-Out Purchaser. Originator may at any time before Purchaser
has resold the Loan repurchase any Loan at the Book Account amount or substitute
another Take-Out Purchaser to purchase the Loan at the Book Account amount. The
Originator shall receive the excess of any Take-Out Purchase Price received by
Purchaser in excess of the Book Account amount after subtraction of all
obligations due and outstanding from Originator to Purchaser. Originator shall
itself repurchase any Loan at the Book Account amount or pay any shortfall to
Purchaser if the Take-Out Purchaser falls to purchase the Loan by the date
specified in the original Loan Purchase Request. Originator shall itself, upon
the demand of Purchaser, immediately repurchase any Loan at the Book Account
amount if said Loan ceases at any time to qualify as an Eligible Mortgage Loan.
Purchaser shall deliver Loans to the Take-Out Purchaser, specified by
Originator, by a bailee letter in the form attached to this Agreement as Exhibit
2. Originator guarantees payment
by the Take-Out Purchaser and agrees that delivery of Loans to the Take-Out
Purchaser under the bailee letter shall be at the risk of Originator and
Purchaser shall assume no liability for loss caused by late delivery of said
Loans. If for any reason the Take-Out Purchaser fails to remit all or part of
the Take-Out Purchase price to Purchaser when due under the bailee letter,
Originator shall forthwith remit the balance or all of the Book Account amount
to Purchaser and Purchaser shall assign its rights under the bailee letter to
Originator.
(f) Servicing of Loans. Originator agrees to act as agent and trustee for
------------------
Purchaser to collect, immediately segregate and deposit in trust accounts for
the benefit of Purchaser and Purchaser's principals, successors, heirs and
assigns all principal, interest, taxes and insurance payments due under Loans
sold to Purchaser and otherwise to service Loans sold to Purchaser in conformity
with all requirements of federal and state law and regulation and with sound
commercial practice. Originator shall have no power or authority to amend,
modify or waive any payments due or any terms and conditions of any Loans sold
to Purchaser. Originator shall upon demand from Purchaser at any time and no
less than monthly disburse to Purchaser, in aggregate, all interest and
principal in said segregated accounts, but disbursement will not be demanded if
the Loan Purchasing Fee is received, in full, as prescribed in (d) above.
Payments of taxes and interest fees in such trust accounts shall not be used to
pay the Loan Purchasing Fee. Originator is hereby authorized to deduct and to
pay itself at the end of each month after performance of servicing the servicing
fees fixed and agreed to by Purchaser in writing but shall have no rights to
offset or withhold any funds collected on Loans sold to Purchaser, nor to
disburse any funds from said segregated accounts to Originator for any purpose
(except for servicing fees as hereinabove provided) except by express, written
authority from Purchaser before each credit to Originator or disbursement to
Originator. Originator shall maintain fidelity bonds and policies of insurance
insuring itself, Purchaser and the principals, successors, heirs and assigns of
Purchaser against loss or damage from any breach of fidelity by Originator or
any officer, director, employee or agent of Originator, and against any loss or
damage from loss of destruction of documents, theft, misappropriation, or errors
or omissions. Purchaser reserves the right at any time, but in any event upon
default of Originator, to transfer the servicing of the Loans to any other
Person.
(g) Time and Place of Payments. All payments shall be made in lawful money
--------------------------
of the United States of America in immediately available funds. If any payment
required to be made by Originator hereunder becomes due and payable on a day
other than a business day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next
succeeding business day and a Loan Purchasing Fee shall be payable at the
applicable rate during the extension. Payments required shall be made to
Purchaser at its principal office or such other office or depository as
Purchaser shall from time to time designate.
(h) Post-Maturity Fee. Any Obligations not paid when due (whether at the
-----------------
stated Maturity Date, upon acceleration or otherwise) shall incur a fee from the
date due until paid in full at a per annum rate equal to four percent (4%) above
the Reference Rate in lieu of the Loan Purchasing Fee.
(i) Fees. In addition to the Loan Purchasing Fee hereinabove provided,
----
Originator shall pay to Purchaser promptly all other Required Fees when due.
(j) Computation. All computations of fees and interest payable hereunder
-----------
shall be based upon a year of 360 days for the actual number of days elapsed.
2. Xxxx-To Market Requirement: Security: Guaranties: Additional Documents.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Xxxx-to-Market Requirement Purchaser shall calculate from time to time
--------------------------
the Warehouse Value of Eligible Mortgage Loans purchased from Originator and
held by Purchaser in warehouse. In addition to all other payment obligations of
the Originator hereunder, upon written demand of Purchaser from time to time the
Originator shall deposit with Purchaser as security for Originator's Obligations
cash (or other collateral satisfactory to Purchaser in the absolute discretion -
of Purchaser) in the amount by which the Book Account amount of the Eligible
Mortgage Loans purchased from Originator and held in warehouse exceeds the
Warehouse Value of said loans plus the Allowed Discrepancy. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Originator may in the alternative to depositing such cash collateral
pledge to Purchaser additional Eligible Mortgage Loans in an amount sufficient
to bring the Warehouse Value of loans in the Loan Repurchasing Base up to the
Book Account amount of said loans.
(b) Security: Security Agreements: Guaranties. As additional support for
-----------------------------------------
the Obligations, Originator agrees to execute and deliver to Purchaser a
Security Agreement pursuant to which Originator shall grant to Purchaser a first
priority security interest in and lien upon all servicing rights in loans sold
by Originator to Purchaser and in any other Collateral required under this
Agreement or related documents and to cause to be executed and delivered to
Purchaser such additional Security Agreements, Guaranties, Uniform Commercial

-----------------
to be executed and delivered to Purchaser from time to time such confirmatory or
supplementary forward purchase agreements, repurchase agreements, security
agreements, financing statements or other documents, instruments or agreements

additional notice from Purchaser cease and terminate on the Maturity Date stated

that all terms and conditions of this Agreement shall apply to any such Loan

later determined that no such Default in fact occurred, Purchaser shall pay
Originator damages at the rate of two percent per annum on any Eligible Mortgage
Loan from date it is offered to Purchaser until it is sold or warehoused by
Originator but for a period not exceeding 90 days from date of offer of said
Loan to Purchaser or the Expiration Date specified in the Commitment Letter,
whichever date first occurs. To induce Purchaser to enter into this Agreement,
Originator covenants and agrees that, in event of breach of this Agreement by
