EXHIBIT 10.12

Loan Purchase Agreement

This Agreement, dated as of July 17, 2001, is made by and between

Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., a New York corporation (“Countrywide”),

and HomeBanc Mortgage Corp, a Delaware corporation (“Seller”),

for mutual considerations set forth herein.

Countrywide agrees to purchase certain loans secured by real property, together with the servicing thereof (the “Loans”), from Seller under Countrywide’s mortgage loan programs, and Seller agrees to sell to Countrywide certain such Loans pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in Countrywide’s Correspondent Lending Division Loan Purchase Program Seller’s Manual, as amended from time to time (the “Manual”). In connection therewith, the parties agree as follows:

1. ELIGIBLE LOANS

Only those Loans fully complying with the standards for Conforming Conventional, Jumbo Conventional, Government and Second Mortgage Loan Programs set forth in the Mortgage Programs section of the Manual are eligible for purchase under this Agreement. Seller must be approved, qualified and/or licensed to originate such Loans.

Seller shall fully underwrite each Loan prior to submission to Countrywide in accordance with Underwriting Guidelines and Lending Requirements sections of the Manual, or, if available, use a Countrywide-approved automated underwriting system for underwriting the Loan.

Seller shall be responsible for assuring that Loans submitted to Countrywide comply with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Manual.

2. COMMITMENT TO PURCHASE LOANS

The procedure pursuant to which Seller may commit to sell a Loan to Countrywide is detailed in the Loan Registration section of the Manual. For purposes of this Agreement, Countrywide and Seller define a best effort commitment to be a mandatory commitment if the Loan closes. Countrywide will confirm the conditions of the sale of the Loan to Countrywide by delivering a confirmation (“Commitment”) to Seller which sets forth the terms of the transaction, including the price Countrywide will pay for each Loan, as determined pursuant to the Pricing standards set forth in the Manual (the “Purchase Price”). The terms of the Commitment, including the Purchase Price, shall be in effect for the period of time requested by Seller and approved by Countrywide (the “Commitment Period”). If Seller is approved by Countrywide to sell Loans to Countrywide on a bulk sale basis, Countrywide and Seller shall execute the Addendum o Loan Purchase Agreement (Bulk Sales) which shall be attached to and incorporated into this Agreement by reference.

3. UNDERWRITING AND PROPERTY APPRAISAL

Countrywide shall have the right, but not the obligation, to underwrite any Loan submitted for purchase pursuant to this Agreement, or otherwise insure that any Loan submitted for purchase complies with all terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Manual; provided that neither the existence nor the exercise of this right shall affect in any way Seller’s obligations hereunder, including without limitation, Seller’s repurchase obligations under Section 7 hereof and Seller’s hold harmless obligations under Section 9 hereof. The applicable procedures are set forth in the Prior Approval section of the Manual.

Seller shall deliver to Countrywide an appraisal of the real estate security for each such Loan, signed by a qualified appraiser, as defined in the Manual, prior to Countrywide’s approval to purchase such Loan.

4. DELIVERY OF LOAN DOCUMENTATION

A Loan shall be deemed delivered to Countrywide if: (A) it is received by Countrywide within the Commitment Period; (B) it is in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Delivery of Closed Loans and Funding Documentation sections of the Manual; and (C) there are no outstanding conditions which would prevent Countrywide from funding the purchase of the Loan. Failure by Seller to deliver to Countrywide within 120 days from the date a Loan was purchased one or more of the original documents specified in the Delivery of Closed Loans section of the Manual shall result in assessment by Countrywide of a fee of $50 per month for each month, after the initial 120 day period, during which one or more of such documents is outstanding, i.e., has not been delivered to Countrywide for any period of time during the month. Such fee shall be $50 regardless of the number of such documents. Failure by Seller to deliver to Countrywide one or more of the original documents specified in the Delivery of Closed Loans section of the Manual within 270 days from the date the Loan was purchased by Countrywide shall obligate Seller to repurchase the Loan pursuant to the provisions of Section 7 of this Agreement.

5. PAYMENT OF PURCHASE PRICE AND SELLER’S WIRE INSTRUCTIONS

Countrywide shall, after receipt of a Loan documentation package which fully complies with the requirements of the Manual, deliver the Purchase Price (less any fees or discounts due to Countrywide) set forth in the applicable Commitment to Seller in accordance with Seller’s wire instructions or in accordance with any bailee letter or trust receipt submitted with the Loan, as determined in the sole and absolute discretion of Countrywide.

Addendum to Loan Purchase Agreement

MANDATORY COMMITMENTS (BULK SALES)

This Agreement (the “Addendum”) constitutes an Addendum to that Loan Purchase Agreement

dated July 17, 2001

by and between Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., a New York Corporation (“Countrywide”), and

HomeBanc Mortgage Corporation a Delaware (“Seller”) (the “Agreement”).

This Addendum is for the purpose of setting forth the obligations of the Seller to Countrywide in accordance win Countrywide’s mandatory commitment program, which is further described in the Seller’s Manual. The terms and conditions of the Loan Purchase Agreement are incorporated herein by reference. This Addendum shall modify, amend, and form a part of the terms of the Agreement. All terms contained herein shall have the same meaning as in the Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein. In the event of any conflict between the terms and conditions of the Agreement and this Addendum as it pertains to the mandatory commitment program, the terms and conditions of this Addendum shall prevail.

GENERAL

Sellers may elect to deliver loans to Countrywide under the mandatory commitment program by entering into a mandatory delivery commitment (a “Commitment”) to deliver a specified amount and type of loan on or before a specified date. Under the mandatory commitment program, the Seller shall be obligated to pay a xxxx-to-market pair-off fee if the Seller fails to deliver qualifying loans by the date specified in the Commitment (the “Commitment Expiration Date”), in the amount specified in the Commitment (the “Commitment Amount”), or otherwise under the terms provided in the applicable Commitment

I. PAIR-OFF ASSESSMENT

Pair-off fees shall be assessed as of the dates and times (the “Pair-Off Assessment Date”) provided for:

(a)

as of the date and time that the Seller notifies Countrywide of its election for a reduction of an, portion of the Commitment Amount; or

(b)

as of the date and time that the Seller notifies Countrywide of its election for a program substitution as described in the Seller’s Manual for any portion of the mandatory commitment (such substitution to be treated as a reduction of the Commitment Amount); or

(c)

as of the close of the Commitment Expiration Date if qualifying loan files are not delivered by seller in an amount equal to the Commitment Amount, less the allowable delivery variance provided for in the Commitment; or

(d)

as of the close of business on such date subsequent to the Commitment Expiration Date that Countrywide determines that a loan delivered by the Commitment Expiration Date was not eligible for purchase.

II. PAIR-OFF CALCULATION AND PAYMENT OF PAIR-OFF FEES

The pair-off fee shall be assessed and calculated as provided:

(a)

A pair-off fee shall be assessed should the Seller notify Countrywide of its election to pair-off all or a portion of the Commitment Amount prior to the Commitment Expiration Date pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs l(a) and l(b) above. In such event, the Commitment shall be amended to require Seller to deliver, and for Countrywide to purchase, the original Commitment Amount reduced by the amount paired-off by Seller (the “Amended Commitment Amount”) with all other terms of the Commitment remaining unchanged. Any such amount which Seller elects to pair-off shall hereinafter be referred to as the “Amount Paired-Off By Seller.”

(b)

A pair-off fee shall be assessed should Seller fail to deliver qualifying loans by the Commitment Expiration Date with an aggregate principal balance equal to the Commitment Amount or the Amended Commitment Amount applicable, less the allowable delivery variance provided for in the Commitment. Any such shortfall in the delivery of qualifying loans by the Commitment Expiration Date shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Delivery Shortfall Amount.”

(c)

The pair-off fee to be assessed on Amounts Paired-Off by Seller and Delivery Shortfall Amounts shall be calculated by multiplying the Amount Paired-Off by Seller or Delivery Shortfall Amount, as applicable, by a percentage equal to the sum of .125% (the “Administrative Fee”), plus the positive price difference, if any, between the percentage price posted by Countrywide as of the Pair-Off Assessment Date (on the loans which were the subject of the Commitment), and the percentage price to have been paid by Countrywide pursuant to the Commitment. Countrywide’s posted percentage price on the Pair-Off Assessment Date shall be determined as follows:

If the Pair-Off Assessment Date is the Commitment Expiration Date, or a subsequent date, pursuant to paragraph I(c) and (d) above, the posted percentage price to be used shall be that percentage price posted by Countrywide


		PAGE 1

applicable to the earliest delivery option available on such Pair-Off Assessment Date (e.g., the price or a mandatory 2 day delivery).

ii.

If the Pair-Off Assessment Date is earlier than the Commitment Expiration Date pursuant to paragraph I (a) or I (b), then the posted price to be used shall be the posted mandatory delivery price applicable to the delivery period option which expires closest to, but not after the Commitment Expiration Date. For example, if the Pair-Off Assessment Date is 40 days prior to the Commitment Expiration Date, the posted price to be used for the pair-off fee calculation shall be Countrywide’s 29 day mandatory delivery price on the Pair-Off Assessment Date. (For purposes of this example available mandatory delivery periods are: 2, 7, 15, 29, 45, 60 and 75 days.)

(d)

Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph II (c) above, the administrative fee shall be a minimum of $100.

(e)

The pair-off fees assessed hereunder shall be due and payable within five (5) business days after the Pair Off Assessment Date. In addition to Countrywide’s other remedies, if pair-off fees are not paid within this time period, Seller agrees that Countrywide shall be entitled to net and offset such fees against other amounts owed by Countrywide to Seller.

AUTHORIZED AGENTS

The following person(s) have been authorized by appropriate resolution of Seller to execute this Addendum and all documents necessary and appropriate to bind Seller pursuant to the terms of this Addendum. Countrywide may rely on any instructions received from such person(s) and the same shall be fully binding on Seller until such time as Countrywide shall receive written instructions revoking the authority of such person to bind Seller to any future transactions.
