Letter Agreement on Rate and Fee Modifications between Sky Bank and Franklin Credit Management Corporation (July 19, 2005)
Sky Bank and Franklin Credit Management Corporation have agreed to modify the interest rate and origination fee terms for new loan originations and future term debt facilities. Effective July 1, 2005, new loans will be charged the FHLB of Cincinnati one-month advance rate plus a margin that is 0.50% lower than previously applied, and a 0.75% origination fee will apply to future term debt. Existing loans remain governed by the prior Master Credit and Security Agreement. This letter confirms these changes and clarifies that only new loans are affected.

RE: Rate and Fee Modifications
Jeff,
As a follow up to our recent conversations regarding certain terms of the outstanding loan facilities between Sky Bank and Franklin Credit Management Corporation, I would like to reiterate the details of our agreements. Specifically, the rate to be charged for new loan originations shall be the FHLB of Cincinnati one month advance rate plus an applicable margin 50 BP less than the applicable margin that would have applied prior to this letter. Further the origination fee to be charged on all future Franklin term debt facilities shall be 75 BP of the amount financed.
We agree that these new terms have taken affect as of July 1, 2005 and the terms of all existing term debt facilities originated prior to that date shall remain unchanged as found in a certain Master Credit and Security Agreement by and between Sky Bank and Franklin Credit Management Corporation dated on October 13, 2004, as amended prior to the date hereof.
As always, please feel free to contact me with questions.
Regards,
