July, 2000, by and between MONUMENT MORTGAGE, INC., a California corporation
(the "Company") and RESIDENTIAL FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the

WHEREAS, the Company and the Lender have entered into a single family revolving
warehouse facility with a present Commitment Amount of $75,000,000, to finance
the origination and acquisition of Mortgage Loans as evidenced by a Promissory
Note in the principal sum of $75,000,000, dated as of August 9, 1999 (the

Agreement dated as of August 9, 1999, as the same may have been amended or
supplemented (the "Agreement");
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Lender extend the period for which
the Commitment under the Agreement has been made, and amend certain other terms
of the Agreement, and the Lender has agreed to such extension and amendment
subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment; and
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual
covenants, agreements and conditions hereinafter set forth and for other good
and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

2. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have their
respective meanings set forth in the Agreement.

4. Section 1.1 of the Agreement is amended by deleting the following definitions
in their entirety and replacing them with the following definitions:

RFConnects Delivery containing the same information as EXHIBIT C-SF to this
Agreement, together with the RFConnects Pledge Agreement, duly executed by
the Company, and a list of the Mortgage Loans (including mortgagor's name,
loan number and loan amount) to be funded with the Advance sent to the Lender
by facsimile.
"MATURITY DATE" shall mean the earlier of: (a) the close of business on
October 15, 2000 as such date may be extended from time to time in writing by
the Lender, in its sole discretion, on which date the Commitment shall expire
of its own term, and without the necessity of action by the Lender, and (b)
the date the Advances become due and payable pursuant to Section 8.1 below.
-1-
"WET SETTLEMENT ADVANCE" means with respect to any Advance, the time from the
date the Advance is made until the date of the Lender's receipt of the
Collateral Documents as provided in Section 2.2(b) and the Exhibit referenced
therein.
5. Section 2.4(b) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and the following
is substituted in lieu thereof:
Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Company is entitled
to receive a benefit in the form of an "Earnings Credit" on the portion of
the Eligible Balances maintained in time deposit accounts with a Designated
Bank, and the Company is entitled to receive a benefit in the form of an
"Earnings Allowance" on the portion of the Eligible Balances maintained in
demand deposit accounts with a Designated Bank. Any Earnings Allowance shall
be used first and any Earnings Credit shall be used second as a credit
against accrued Designated Bank Charges, any other Miscellaneous Charges and
fees, including, but not limited to Commitment Fees and Warehousing Fees, and
may be used, at the Lender's option, to reduce accrued interest. Any Earnings
Allowance not used during the month in which the benefit was received shall
be accumulated for use and must be used within 6 months of the month in which
the benefit was received. Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, any
Earnings Credit not used during the month in which the benefit was received
shall be used to provide a cash benefit to the Company. Any Earnings Credit
retained by the Lender as a result of a Default or Event of Default will be
applied to the payment of the Company's Obligations in such order as the
Lender will determine in its sole discretion. The Lender's determination of
the Earnings Credit and the Earnings Allowance for any month shall be
determined by the Lender in its sole discretion and shall be conclusive and
binding absent manifest error. In no event shall the benefit received by the
Company exceed the Depository Benefit.
Either party hereto may terminate the benefits provided for in this
Section effective immediately upon Notice to the other party, if the
terminating party shall have determined (which determination shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error) at any time that any applicable
law, rule, regulation, order or decree or any interpretation or
administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such party with
any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, shall make it unlawful or impossible for such party to continue to
offer or receive the benefits provided for in this Section. No Notice is
required for a termination of benefits as a result of a Default or Event of
Default.

Days after Notice by the Lender (a) deliver to the Lender for pledge
hereunder additional Collateral with a Collateral Value sufficient to cover

CONSENT OF GUARANTOR
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The undersigned, being the Guarantor under the Guaranty dated as of August 9,
1999, hereby consents to the foregoing Amendment and the transactions
contemplated thereby and hereby modifies and reaffirms his obligations under his
Guaranty so as to include within the term "Guaranteed Debt" the indebtedness,
obligations and liabilities of the Company under this Amendment and the Note.
The Guarantor hereby reaffirms that his obligations under his Guaranty are
separate and distinct from the Company's obligations to Lender, and that his
obligations under the Guaranty are in full force and effect, and hereby waives
and agrees not to assert any anti-deficiency protections or other rights as a
defense to his obligations under the Guaranty, all as more fully set forth in
the Guaranty, the terms of which are incorporated herein as if fully set forth
herein.
The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that the
Guarantor may now have or hereafter acquire against the Company that arises from
the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor's
obligations hereunder, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of the Lender against the Company or any collateral that the
Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right
arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right
to take or receive from the Company directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such
claim or other right, until the Guaranteed Debt has been paid and performed in
full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding
sentence, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the Guarantor for the
benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the
Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Debt, whether matured or
unmatured. In addition, to the extent permitted by law, the Guarantor
irrevocably releases and waives any such subrogation rights or rights of
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnity if and to the extent any
such right or rights would give rise to a claim under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code
that payments or transfers to the Lender with respect to the Guaranteed Debt
constitute a preference in favor of the Guarantor or a claim under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code that the preference is recoverable from the Lender.
The Guarantor further agrees, upon Lender's request, to execute for the benefit
of Lender an additional guaranty in form and content acceptable to Lender and
conforming to the Guaranty in connection with the foregoing Amendment.
