A.   Borrower has requested certain financing from Lender.
 
B.   Lender has agreed to provide that financing to Borrower subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
 
C.   Subject to Borrower’s satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 5, the “Closing Date” for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is May 23, 2003.

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

1.   THE CREDIT
 
1.1.   The Warehousing Commitment

On the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this Agreement, including Exhibit H, Lender agrees to make Warehousing Advances to Borrower from the Closing Date to the Business Day immediately preceding the Warehousing Commitment Termination Date, during which period Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Lender has no obligation to make Warehousing Advances in excess of the Warehousing Commitment Amount. While a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender may refuse to make any additional Warehousing Advances to Borrower. All Warehousing Advances under this Agreement constitute a single indebtedness, and all of the Collateral is security for the Warehousing Note and for the performance of all of the Obligations. Warehousing Advances will be made either to MMA, MTEI, Midland Mortgage, MMA Construction or MMA Capital, as requested by either MMA, MTEI, Midland Mortgage, MMA Construction or MMA Capital, but will be deemed made to or for the benefit of MMA and the requesting Borrower, and MMA and the requesting Borrower, jointly and severally, is obligated to repay each Warehousing Advances made under the Warehousing Commitment. With respect to its obligation to repay Warehousing Advances made to any other Borrower, MMA agrees to the terms set forth in Exhibit J.

1.2.   Expiration of Warehousing Commitment

The Warehousing Commitment expires on the earlier of (the “Warehousing Commitment Termination Date”): (a) April 30, 2005, as the same may be extended in writing by Lender, in its sole discretion, unless Borrower notifies Lender that it will not accept such extension, on which date the Warehousing Commitment will expire of its own term without the necessity of Notice or action by Lender, and (b) the date the Warehousing Commitment is terminated under Section 10.2.

The term “Warehousing Note” as used in this Agreement includes all amendments, restatements, renewals or replacements of the original Warehousing Note and all substitutions for it. All terms and provisions of the Warehousing Note are incorporated into this Agreement.

2.   PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING ADVANCES
 
2.1.   Warehousing Advances

To obtain a Warehousing Advance under this Agreement, Borrower must deliver to Lender a completed and signed request for a Warehousing Advance on the then current form approved by Lender (“Warehousing Advance Request”), not later than 1 Business Day before the Business Day on which Borrower desires the Warehousing Advance. Subject to the delivery of a Warehousing Advance Request and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 5.1 and 5.2, Borrower may obtain a Warehousing Advance under this Agreement upon compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section and in the applicable Exhibit B, including delivery to Lender of all required Collateral Documents. Lender’s current form of Warehousing Advance Request is set forth in Exhibit A. Upon not less than 3 Business Days’ prior Notice to Borrower, Lender may modify its form of Warehousing Advance Request, and any other Exhibit or document referred to in this Section to conform to current legal requirements or Lender practices and, as so modified, those Exhibits and documents will become part of this Agreement.

3.   INTEREST, PRINCIPAL AND FEES
 
3.1.   Interest

3.1(a)   Except as otherwise provided in this Section, Borrower must pay interest on the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance from the date the Warehousing Advance is made until it is paid in full at the Interest Rate specified in Exhibit H.

3.1(b)   As long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower is entitled to receive a benefit based on the average monthly Eligible Balances of Borrower maintained at a Designated Bank. For the purposes of this Section, all Advances will be called “Applicable Advances.” After the end of each month, Lender will calculate the portion (“Balance Funded Portion”) of the Applicable Advances that is equal to the lesser of (1) the average amount of Applicable Advances outstanding during such month or (2) the average amount of Eligible Balances on deposit in non-interest bearing demand deposit and time deposit accounts with a Designated Bank during such month. Interest that would otherwise be payable by Borrower under Exhibit H will be reduced by a “Balance Funding Credit” equal to:

Balance Funded Portion x [(IR – BFR) / AB] x ADP,

where “IR” is the weighted daily average of the Index Rate otherwise applicable under Exhibit H. “BFR” is the applicable Balance Funded Rate, “AB” is the Accrual Basis and “ADP” is the number of days in the month (or other applicable period) for which the Balance Funding Credit is applicable. The Applicable Advances outstanding during a month will be allocated to the Balance Funded Portion in the order determined by Lender in its sole discretion.

If, for any month, a portion of the average amount of Eligible Balances on deposit in non-interest bearing demand deposit or time deposit accounts remains (“Remainder”) after the Balance Funded Portion has been deducted, or Borrower has Eligible Balances on deposit in interest-bearing demand deposit or time deposit accounts in respect of which Lender has received a Depository Benefit, Lender will provide a benefit in the form of an “Earnings Credit” on the Eligible Balances maintained in time deposit accounts with the Designated Bank, and Lender will provide a benefit in the form of an “Earnings Allowance” on the Eligible Balances maintained in demand deposit accounts with the Designated Bank. Any Earnings Allowance will be used first and any Earnings Credit will be used second as a credit against Miscellaneous Fees and Charges (including Designated Bank Charges) and against other fees payable to Lender under this Agreement, including Non-Usage Fees, and Loan Package Fees, and may be used, at Lender’s option, to reduce accrued interest. Any Earnings Allowance not used during the month in which the benefit was received will be accumulated and must be used within 6 months of the month in which the benefit was received. As long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any Earnings Credit not used during the month in which the benefit was received will be used to provide a cash benefit to Borrower. Any Earnings Credit retained by Lender as a result of a Default or Event of Default will be applied to the payment of Borrower’s Obligations in the order Lender determines in its sole discretion.

The Balance Funded Portion, the Balance Funding Credit, the Earnings Credit and the Earnings Allowance for any month will be determined by Lender in its sole discretion and Lender’s determination of those amounts is conclusive and binding absent manifest error. In no event will the aggregate amount of the benefits received by Borrower under this Section exceed the Depository Benefit.

Page 3-1

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

    Either party to this Agreement may terminate the benefits provided for in this Section, in whole or in part, effective immediately upon Notice to the other party, if the terminating party determines (which determination is conclusive and binding on the other party, absent manifest error) at any time that any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or decree or any interpretation or administration of any such law, rule, regulation, order or decree by any governmental authority charged with its interpretation or administration, or compliance by such party with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, makes it unlawful or impossible for the party sending the Notice to continue to offer or receive all or any portion of 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.
 
3.1(c)   Lender computes interest on the basis of the actual number of days in each month and a year of 360 days (“Accrual Basis”). Borrower must pay interest monthly in arrears, not later than 9 days after the date of Lender’s invoice or, if applicable, 2 days after the date of Lender’s account analysis statement, commencing with the first month following the Closing Date and on the Warehousing Maturity Date.
 
3.1(d)   If, for any reason, (1) Borrower repays a Warehousing Advance on the same day that it was made by Lender or (2) Borrower instructs Lender not to make a previously requested Warehousing Advance after Lender has reserved funds or made other arrangements necessary to enable Lender to fund that Warehousing Advance, Borrower agrees to pay to Lender an administrative fee equal to 1 day of interest on that Warehousing Advance at the rate of 1.50% per annum. Borrower must pay all administrative fees within 9 days after the date of Lender’s invoice or, if applicable, within 2 days after the date of Lender’s account analysis statement.
 
3.1(e)   After an Event of Default occurs and upon Notice to Borrower by Lender, the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance will bear interest at the Default Rate until paid in full.
 
3.1(f)   Lender will adjust the rates of interest provided for in this Agreement as of the effective date of each change in the applicable index. Lender’s determination of such rates of interest as of any date of determination are conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.
 
3.2.     Interest Limitation

Lender does not intend, by reason of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note or any other Loan Document, to receive interest in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law. If Lender receives any interest in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law, whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note or otherwise, Lender will apply the excess to the unpaid principal balance of the Warehousing Advances and not to the payment of interest. If all Warehousing Advances have been paid in full and the Warehousing Commitment has expired or has been terminated, Lender will remit any excess to Borrower. This Section controls every other provision of all agreements between Borrower and Lender and is binding upon and available to any subsequent holder of the Warehousing Note.

3.3.     Principal Payments
 
3.3(a)   Borrower must pay Lender the outstanding principal amount of all Warehousing Advances on the Warehousing Maturity Date.

Page 3-2

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

3.3(b)    Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.1, Borrower may prepay any portion of the Warehousing Advances without premium or penalty at any time.
 
3.3(c)   Upon telephonic or written Notice to Borrower by Lender, Borrower must pay to Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, the amount of any outstanding Warehousing Advance against a specific Pledged Asset upon the earliest occurrence of any of the following events:

  (1)   For any Pledged Investment, the Warehouse Period elapses.
 
  (2)   For any Pledged Investment, the Shipped Period elapses.
 
  (3)   On the date a Warehousing Advance was made if the Pledged Investment to be funded by that Warehousing Advance is not closed and funded.
 
  (4)   One (1) Business Day elapses from the date a Warehousing Advance was made against a Pledged Investment, without receipt of the Collateral Documents relating to that Pledged Investment required to be delivered on that date.
 
  (5)   Ten (10) Business Days elapse without the return of a Collateral Document delivered by Lender to Borrower under a Trust Receipt for correction or completion.
 
  (6)   On the date on which a Pledged Investment is determined to have been originated based on untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information or otherwise to be subject to fraud, whether or not Borrower had knowledge of the misrepresentation, incomplete or incorrect information or fraud, on the date on which Borrower knows, has reason to know, or receives Notice from Lender, that (A) one or more of the representations and warranties set forth in Article 9 were inaccurate or incomplete in any material respect on any date when made or deemed made, or (B) Borrower has failed to perform or comply with any covenant, term or condition applicable to it set forth in Article 9.
 
  (7)   On the date the Pledged Investment or a Lien prior to the Mortgage securing repayment of the Pledged Investment is defaulted and remains in default for a period of 60 days or more.
 
  (8)   On the mandatory delivery date of the related Purchase Commitment if the specific Pledged Investment has not been delivered under the Purchase Commitment prior to such mandatory delivery date, or on the date the related Takeout Commitment expires or is terminated.
 
  (9)   Three (3) Business Days after the date a Pledged Mortgage is rejected for purchase, financing or refinancing under a Takeout Commitment, unless another Takeout Commitment satisfying the requirements of this Agreement is provided within that 3 Business Day period.
 
  (10)   Upon the sale, other disposition or prepayment of any Pledged Investment or, with respect to a Pledged Investment included in an Eligible Mortgage Pool, upon the sale or other disposition of the related Agency Security.
 
  (11)   With respect to any Pledged Investment, any of the Collateral Documents, upon examination by Lender, are found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement or the related Takeout Commitment.

Page 3-3

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

(12)   With respect to any Warehousing Advance outstanding against a Pledged Investment that is not subject to a Purchase Commitment, the date on which the commitment to provide the permanent financing or Replacement Loan that will refinance such Warehousing Advance or Pledged Investment shall cease to be in full force and effect, or the lender shall assert any right not to finance such Pledged Investment or make such Replacement Loan thereunder.

3.3(d)   In addition to the payments required by this Section 3.3, if the principal amount of any Pledged Investment is prepaid in whole or in part while a Warehousing Advance is outstanding against the Pledged Investment, Borrower must pay to Lender, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, the amount of the prepayment, to be applied against the Warehousing Advance.
 
3.3(e)   The proceeds of the sale or other disposition of Pledged Assets must be paid directly by the Investor to the Cash Collateral Account. Borrower must give Notice to Lender in writing or by telephone (followed promptly by written Notice) of the Pledged Assets for which proceeds have been received. Upon receipt of Borrower’s Notice, Lender will apply any proceeds deposited into the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Warehousing Advances related to the Pledged Assets identified by Borrower in its Notice, and those Pledged Assets will be considered to have been redeemed from pledge. Lender is entitled to rely upon Borrower’s affirmation that deposits in the Cash Collateral Account represent payments from Investors for the purchase of the Pledged Assets specified by Borrower in its Notice. If the payment from an Investor for the purchase of Pledged Assets is less than the outstanding Warehousing Advances against the Pledged Assets identified by Borrower in its Notice, Borrower must pay to Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge Borrower’s Operating Account in, an amount equal to that deficiency. As long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender will return to Borrower any excess payment from an Investor for Pledged Assets.
 
3.3(f)   Lender reserves the right to revalue any Pledged Investment. Borrower must pay to Lender, without the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, any amount required after any such revaluation to reduce the principal amount of the Warehousing Advance outstanding against the revalued Pledged Investment to an amount equal to the Advance Rate for the applicable type of Eligible Investment multiplied by the Fair Market Value of the Pledged Investment.
 
3.3(g)   Borrower must give Lender Notice not later than 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the payment to Lender of proceeds of Pledged Assets or any other payment on the Obligations if the amount of the payment exceeds $20,000,000. If Lender is unable to reinvest that payment as a result of Borrower’s failure to provide such Notice, Borrower must pay to Lender an administrative fee equal to 1 day of interest on the amount of that payment at a rate of 1.50% per annum. Administrative and other fees are due and payable in the same manner as interest is due and payable under this Agreement.
 
3.4.     Buydowns

Borrower may prepay a portion of the Warehousing Advances outstanding (a “Buydown”) upon Notice to Lender not later than (a) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Business Day on which Borrower desires to make a Buydown in the amount of $10,000,000 or more or (b) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day on which Borrower desires to make a Buydown in an

Page 3-4

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

amount less than $10,000,000. Each Buydown must be in an amount not less than $1,000,000 or in integral multiples of $250,000 in excess of that amount, and Buydowns may not exceed, in the aggregate, the amount outstanding against Pledged Investments. A Buydown is a reduction in the aggregate amount of the Warehousing Advances outstanding against Pledged Investments, but does not represent the prepayment of any particular Warehousing Advance, and does not entitle Borrower to the release of any Collateral. Lender may apply Buydowns to reduce interest payable by Borrower on outstanding Warehousing Advances in any order that Lender determines in its sole discretion. Unless a Default or Event of Default exists, Borrower may reborrow all or any portion of a Buydown upon Notice to Lender not later than (m) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day immediately preceding the Busines Day on which borrower desires to reborrow $10,000,000 or more or (n) 1:00 p.m. on the Business Day that Borrower desires to reborrow an amount less than $10,000,000. If Lender receives Buydowns or a combination of Buydowns and payments of Warehousing Advances that exceed the aggregate principal balance of the Warehousing Advances outstanding Pledged Investments (an “Excess Buydown”), as long as no Default or Event of Default exists, Lender shall, at the request of Borrower, re-advance to Borrower all or any portion of an Excess Buydown by causing the Funding Bank to credit the Operating Account in that amount. Lender has no obligation to pay or otherwise provide to Borrower any interest, dividends or other benefits on an Excess Buydown.

3.5.   Compensating Balances

Borrower shall maintain at a Designated Bank, so long as the Warehousing Commitment is outstanding, Eligible Balances in an average amount during any Calendar Quarter not less than $10,000,000 with respect to which Lender receives a Depository Benefit. If, during any Calendar Quarter or portion thereof while the Warehousing Commitment is outstanding, Borrower shall fail to maintain the level of balances required hereby, Borrower shall pay Lender a Non-Usage Fee as calculated in Section 3.6 below for such Calendar Quarter or portion thereof.

3.6.   Non-Usage Fees

At the end of each Calendar Quarter during the term of this Agreement, unless Borrower has satisfied the requirement of Section 3.5 for such Calendar Quarter, Lender will determine the average usage of the Warehousing Commitment by calculating the arithmetic daily average of the Warehousing Advances outstanding during such Calendar Quarter (“Used Portion”). Lender will then subtract the Used Portion from $12,500,000, and the result, if positive, will be known as the “Unused Portion”. Borrower agrees to pay to Lender a fee (“Non-Usage Fee”) in the amount of 0.5% per annum of the Unused Portion during such Calendar Quarter. The Non-Usage Fee is payable quarterly, in arrears. Lender computes the Non-Usage Fee on the basis of the actual number of days in each Calendar Quarter and a year of 365 days. Borrower must pay the Non-Usage Fee within 10 days after the date of Lender’s invoice or account analysis statement. If the date set forth in the definition of Warehousing Commitment Termination Date occurs on a day other than the last day of a Calendar Quarter, Borrower must pay the prorated portion of the Non-Usage Fee due from the beginning of the then current Calendar Quarter to and including that date. Borrower is not entitled to a reduction in the amount of the Non-Usage Fee if (a) the Warehousing Commitment Amount is reduced or (b) the Warehousing Commitment is terminated at the request of Borrower or as a result of an Event of Default. If the Warehousing Commitment terminates at the request of Borrower or as a result of an Event of Default, Borrower must pay, on the date of termination, a Non-Usage Fee in the amount of 0.5% per annum of the Warehousing Commitment Amount in effect immediately prior to the date of termination, for the period from the date of termination to and including the date set forth in the definition of Warehousing Commitment Termination Date. Lender’s determination of the Non-Usage Fee for any period is conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

and approved by Lender and, upon request, make available to Lender the originals, or copies in any case where the originals have been delivered to Lender or to an Investor, of the Mortgage Notes, Mortgages and Security Agreements included in Pledged Investments, Mortgage-backed Securities delivered to Lender as Pledged Securities, Takeout Commitments, and all related Mortgage Loan documents and instruments, and all files, underwriter’s narrative reports, rent rolls, inspection reports, cost schedules, maps, property photographs, surveys, certificates, correspondence, appraisals, computer programs, tapes, discs, cards, accounting and financial records and other information and data relating to the Collateral.

4.3.   Limitations on Security Interest in Servicing Income under Fannie Mae Servicing Contracts

Lender has a security interest in all servicing income actually received by Borrower or Lender with respect to the Mortgage Loans (“Designated Loans”) serviced under any Pledged Servicing Contracts between Borrower and Fannie Mae (“Fannie Mae Servicing Contracts”), but not in the Fannie Mae Servicing Contracts or any other income related to the Designated Loans. Lender’s security interest is subject and subordinate to all rights, remedies, powers and prerogatives of Fannie Mae under all applicable selling and servicing agreements between Fannie Mae and Borrower, including the Guides referred to in those selling and servicing agreements (collectively, the “Fannie Mae Agreements”), including Fannie Mae’s right to terminate Borrower’s servicing rights with respect to the Designated Loans as provided in the Fannie Mae Agreements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing provisions, Lender acknowledges that Borrower’s interest in the property described in Section 4.1 related to the Designated Loans, and therefore Lender’s security interest, is subject to the rights of Fannie Mae. Fannie Mae must approve Lender’s security interest.

Borrower will remain the servicer of the Designated Loans and will continue to service the Designated Loans in accordance with Fannie Mae requirements. Borrower may not pledge any of its servicing rights with respect to the Designated Loans to any other Person. Lender has no right to service the Designated Loans or affect the manner in which Borrower services the Designated Loans. If Fannie Mae terminates Borrower’s servicing rights with respect to the Designated Loans, this pledge will automatically terminate and Fannie Mae has no obligation or liability to Lender in connection with or as a result of such termination.

Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and the exercise by Lender of its rights under Section 10.2, Lender has the following contractual rights: (a) all servicing fees payable to Borrower with respect to the Designated Loans must be deposited into lockbox accounts held by Lender and (b) Lender may, by Notice, direct Borrower to sell the servicing rights to the Designated Loans. In that event, Borrower must (y) retain a nationally recognized firm that specializes in the sale of Fannie Mae servicing rights (which firm must be reasonably acceptable to Lender) and (z) sell the servicing rights to the Designated Loans to another Fannie Mae lender within 120 days of Lender’s Notice. Any such sale of the servicing rights would be subject to Fannie Mae approval. All proceeds of the sale of the servicing rights by Borrower under the foregoing procedure will be applied first to the expenses of the sale, then to any amounts due to Fannie Mae for Borrower under the Servicing Contracts sold, and then to the outstanding balance of the Obligations (as provided in Section 10.3), with any remaining balance remitted to Borrower. If Borrower cures all Events of Default as provided in this Agreement during the sale process, the sale process will terminate.

4.4.   Release of Security Interest in Pledged Investments and Pledged Securities
     
4.4 (a)
  Except as provided in Section 4.4 (b), Lender will release its security interest in the Pledged Investments only against payment to Lender of the Release Amount in connection with those Pledged Investments. If Pledged Investments are transferred to a pool custodian or an Investor for inclusion in a Mortgage Pool and Lender’s security interest in the Pledged Investments included in the Mortgage Pool is not released before the issuance of the related Mortgage-backed Security, then that Mortgage-backed Security, when issued, is a Pledged Security, Lender’s security interest continues in the Pledged Investments backing that Pledged Security and Lender is entitled to possession of the Pledged Security in the manner provided in this Agreement.
 
   
4.4 (b)
  If Pledged Investments are transferred to an Approved Custodian and included in an Eligible Mortgage Pool, Lender’s security interest in the Pledged Investments included in the Eligible Mortgage Pool will be released upon the delivery of the Agency Security to Lender (including delivery to or registration in the name of a third party on behalf of Lender) and that Agency Security is a Pledged Security. Lender’s security interest in that Pledged Security will be released only against payment to Lender of the Release Amount in connection with the Mortgage Loans backing that Pledged Security.
 
   
4.4 (c)
  Lender has the exclusive right to possession of all Pledged Securities or, if Pledged Securities are issued in book-entry form or issued in certificated form and delivered to a clearing corporation (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of Minnesota) or its nominee, Lender has the right to have the Pledged Securities registered in the name of a securities intermediary (as that term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code of Minnesota) in an account containing only customer securities and credited to an account of Lender. Lender has no duty or obligation to deliver Pledged Securities to an Investor or to credit Pledged Securities to the account of an Investor or an Investor’s designee except against payment for those Pledged Securities. Borrower acknowledges that Lender may enter into one or more standing arrangements with securities intermediaries with respect to Pledged Securities issued in book entry form or issued in certificated form and delivered to a clearing corporation or its designee, under which the Pledged Securities are registered in the name of the securities intermediary, and Borrower agrees, upon request of Lender, to execute and deliver to those securities intermediaries Borrower’s written concurrence in any such standing arrangements.
 
   
4.4 (d)
  If no Default or Event of Default occurs, Borrower may redeem a Pledged Investment or Pledged Security from Lender’s security interest by notifying Lender of its intention to redeem the Pledged Investment or Pledged Security from pledge and either (1) paying, or causing an Investor to pay, to Lender, for application as a prepayment on the principal balance of the Warehousing Note, the Release Amount in connection with the Pledged Investment or the Pledged Investments backing that Pledged Security, or (2) delivering substitute Collateral that, in addition to being acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion, will, when included with the remaining Collateral, result in a Warehousing Collateral Value of all Collateral held by Lender that is at least equal to the aggregate outstanding Warehousing Advances.
 
   
4.4 (e)
  After a Default or Event of Default occurs, Lender may, with no liability to Borrower or any Person, continue to release its security interest in any Pledged Investment or Pledged Security against payment of the Release Amount for that Pledged Investment or for the Pledged Investments backing that Pledged Security.

Page 4-4

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

     
4.4 (f)
  The amount to be paid by Borrower to obtain the release of Lender’s security interest in a Pledged Investment (“Release Amount”) will be (1) in connection with the sale of a Pledged Investment by Lender while an Event of Default exists, the amount paid to Lender in a commercially reasonable disposition of that Pledged Investment and (2) otherwise, until an Event of Default occurs, the principal amount of the Warehousing Advance outstanding against the Pledged Investment.

4.5.   Collection and Servicing Rights
     
4.5 (a)
  If no Event of Default exists, Borrower may service and receive and collect directly all sums payable to Borrower in respect of the Collateral other than proceeds of any Takeout Commitment or proceeds of the sale of any Collateral. All proceeds of any Takeout Commitment or any other sale or refinancing of Collateral must be paid directly to the Cash Collateral Account for application as provided in this Agreement.
 
   
4.5 (b)
  After an Event of Default, Lender or its designee is entitled to service and receive and collect all sums payable to Borrower in respect of the Collateral, and in such case (1) Lender or its designee in its discretion may, in its own name, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for any of the Collateral, but Lender has no obligation to do so, (2) Borrower must, if Lender requests it to do so, hold in trust for the benefit of Lender and immediately pay to Lender at its office designated by Notice, all amounts received by Borrower upon or in respect of any of the Collateral, advising Lender as to the source of those funds and (3) all amounts so received and collected by Lender will be held by it as part of the Collateral.

4.6.   Return of Collateral at End of Warehousing Commitment

If (a) the Warehousing Commitment has expired or been terminated, and (b) no Warehousing Advances, interest or other Obligations are outstanding and unpaid, Lender will release its security interest and will deliver all Collateral in its possession to Borrower at Borrower’s expense. Borrower’s acknowledgement or receipt for any Collateral released or delivered to Borrower under any provision of this Agreement is a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so returned, and Lender is discharged from any liability or responsibility for that Collateral.

4.7.   Delivery of Collateral Documents
     
4.7 (a)
  Lender may deliver documents relating to the Collateral to Borrower for correction or completion under a Trust Receipt.
 
   
4.7 (b)
  If no Event of Default exists, upon delivery by Borrower to Lender of shipping instructions pursuant to the applicable Exhibit B. Lender will deliver the Mortgage Notes evidencing Pledged Investments or Pledged Securities, together with all related loan documents and pool documents previously received by Lender under the requirements of the applicable Exhibit B, to the designated Investor or Approved Custodian or to another party designated by Borrower and acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.
 
   
4.7 (c)
  If a Default or Event of Default exists, Lender may, without liability to Borrower or any other Person, continue to deliver Pledged Investments or Pledged Securities, together with all related loan documents and pool documents in Lender’s possession, to the applicable Investor, or Approved Custodian or to another party acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.

Page 10-2

 

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

             
    (2 )   Notify all obligors under any of the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned to Lender (or to another Person designated by Lender) and that all payments on that Collateral are to be made directly to Lender (or such other Person); settle, compromise or release, in whole or in part, any amounts any obligor or Investor owes on any of the Collateral on terms acceptable to Lender; enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding involving any of the Collateral; and where any Collateral is in default, foreclose on and enforce any Liens securing that Collateral in any manner permitted by law and sell any property acquired as a result of those enforcement actions.
 
           
    (3 )   Prepare and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements evidencing the assignment to Lender or its designee of any Uniform Commercial Code financing statement filed in connection with any item of Collateral.
 
           
    (4 )   Act, or contract with a third party to act, at Borrower’s expense, as servicer or subservicer of Collateral requiring servicing, and perform all obligations required under any Collateral, including Servicing Contracts and Purchase Commitments.
 
           
    (5 )   Require Borrower to assemble and make available to Lender the Collateral and all related books and records at a place designated by Lender.
 
           
    (6 )   Enter onto property where any Collateral or related books and records are located and take possession of those items with or without judicial process; and obtain access to Borrower’s data processing equipment, computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral and use all of the foregoing and the information contained in the foregoing in any manner Lender deems necessary for the purpose of effectuating its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.
 
           
    (7 )   Before the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent Lender deems appropriate.
 
           
    (8 )   Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code of Minnesota or other applicable law, including selling or otherwise disposing of all or any portion of the Collateral at one or more public or private sales, whether or not the Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit or future delivery, on terms and conditions and in the manner as Lender may determine, including sale under any applicable Purchase Commitment. Borrower waives any right it may have to prior notice of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral to the extent allowed by applicable law. If notice is required under applicable law, Lender will give Borrower not less than 10 days’ notice of any public sale or of the date after which any private sale may be held. Borrower agrees that 10 days’ notice is reasonable notice. Lender may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale one or more times by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and the sale may be held at any time or place announced at the adjournment. In the case of a sale of all or any portion of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral sold on those terms may be retained by Lender until the purchaser pays the selling price or takes possession of the Collateral. Lender has no liability to Borrower if a purchaser fails to pay for or take possession of Collateral sold on those terms, and in the case of any such failure, Lender may sell the Collateral again upon notice complying with this Section.

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

             
    (9 )   Instead of or in conjunction with exercising the power of sale authorized by Section 10.2(c)(8), Lender may proceed by suit at law or in equity to collect all amounts due on the Collateral, or to foreclose Lender’s Lien on and sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to a judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction.
 
           
    (10 )   Proceed against Borrower on the Warehousing Note.
 
           
    (11 )   Retain all excess proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, and apply them to the payment of the Obligations under Section 10.3.
 
           
10.2 (d)   Lender will incur no liability as a result of the commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral at any public or private sale or other disposition. Borrower waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims it may have against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the price that Lender might have obtained at a public sale, or was less than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Warehousing Advances, accrued and unpaid interest on those Warehousing Advances, and unpaid fees, even if Lender accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. Borrower agrees that any sale of Collateral under the terms of a Purchase Commitment, or any other disposition of Collateral arranged by Borrower, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of Default, will be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
 
           
10.2 (e)   Borrower acknowledges that Mortgage Loans are collateral of a type that is the subject of widely distributed standard price quotations and that Mortgage-backed Securities are collateral of a type that is customarily sold on a recognized market. Borrower waives any right it may have to prior notice of the sale of Pledged Securities, and agrees that Lender may purchase Pledged Investments and Pledged Securities at a private sale of such Collateral.
 
           
10.2 (f)   Borrower specifically waives and releases (to the extent permitted by law) any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal that Borrower has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or adopted after the date of this Agreement, and any right to require Lender to (1) proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any of the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies against the Collateral in any particular order, or (3) pursue any other remedy within its power. Lender is not required to take any action to preserve any rights of Borrower against holders of mortgages having priority to the Lien of any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the Collateral or to preserve Borrower’s rights against other prior parties.
 
           
10.2 (g)   Lender may, but is not obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold or enforce the Lien and priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the Collateral, including payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, incurred or paid by Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement of this Agreement, together with interest on those amounts at the Default Rate, from the time paid by Lender until repaid by Borrower, are deemed to be principal outstanding under this Agreement and the Warehousing Note.
 
           
10.2 (h)   No failure or delay on the part of Lender to exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Agreement or under any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, will operate as a waiver of that right, power or remedy. No single or partial exercise by Lender of any

Page 10-4

Dated: 5/23/2003
Amended: 6/11/2004


 

             
    right, power or remedy provided under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at law or in equity, precludes any other or further exercise of that right, power, or remedy by Lender, or Lender’s exercise of any other right, power or remedy. Without limiting the foregoing, Borrower waives all defenses based on the statute of limitations to the extent permitted by law. The remedies provided in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.
 
               
10.2 (i)   Borrower grants Lender a non-exclusive license or other right to use, without charge, Borrower’s computer programs, other programs, labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling any of the Collateral and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all other agreements related to the foregoing inure to Lender’s benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.
 
               
10.2 (j)   Borrower acknowledges that Borrower and Lender after the date of this Agreement may enter into Acknowledgement Agreements with Fannie Mae, or another Investor, and that those Acknowledgment Agreements may contain certain provisions concerning the enforcement by Lender of its security interest in the Servicing Contracts subject to the Acknowledgement Agreements. Borrower agrees that the disposition of its rights in any Servicing Contract pursuant to the terms of an applicable Acknowledgment Agreement will be deemed commercially reasonable within the meaning of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code of Minnesota. Borrower waives any clams it might otherwise have against Lender as a result of Lender’s compliance with the terms of any Acknowledgment Agreement.

10.3. Application of Proceeds

Lender may apply the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement of Lender’s Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral to the payment of the Obligations in the order Lender determines in its sole discretion. From and after the indefeasible payment to Lender of all of the Obligations, any remaining proceeds of the Collateral will be paid to Borrower, or to its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct. If the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement of the Collateral are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of that sale, disposition or other enforcement and payment in full of all Obligations, Borrower is liable for the deficiency.

10.4. Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact

Borrower appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note and the other Loan Documents and taking any action and executing any instruments that Lender deems necessary or advisable to accomplish that purpose. Borrower’s appointment of Lender as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Lender may give notice of its Lien on the Collateral to any Person, either in Borrower’s name or in its own name, endorse all Pledged Investments or Pledged Securities payable to the order of Borrower, change or cause to be changed the book-entry registration or name of subscriber or Investor on any Pledged Security, prepare and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements with respect to any Uniform Commercial Code financing statements filed in connection with any item of Collateral or receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing payment on account of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the Pledged Investments or Pledged Securities and give full discharge for those transactions.

Warehousing Note (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Indemnitees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnitees have been designated as parties to such proceeding) that may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note, or any other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Warehousing Note and the other Loan Documents, including against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel to the Indemnitees (including allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the Indemnitees have been designated as parties to such proceeding) arising from any breach of Sections 9.2(x) or 9.3(f) or the making of any Mortgage Loan in which any mortgagor, guarantor or other obligor is a Person named in any Restriction List and to whom the provision of financial services is prohibited or otherwise restricted by applicable law (“Indemnified Liabilities”), except that Borrower has no obligation under this Agreement with respect to Indemnified Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless as set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, Borrower must contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them. The agreement of Borrower contained in this Article survives the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Warehousing Note. Attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in enforcing, or on appeal from, a judgment under this Agreement are recoverable separately from and in addition to any other amount included in such judgment, and this clause is intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to survive and not be merged into such judgment.

11.3. Financial Information

All financial statements and reports furnished to Lender under this Agreement must be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with that applied in preparing the financial statements as at the end of and for Borrower’s most recent fiscal year (except to the extent otherwise required to conform to good accounting practice).

11.4. Terms Binding Upon Successors; Survival of Representations

The terms and provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and inure to the benefit of Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and assigns. All of Borrower’s representations, warranties, covenants and agreements survive the making of any Warehousing Advance, and except where a longer period is set forth in this Agreement, remain effective for as long as the Warehousing Commitment is outstanding or there remain any Obligations to be paid or performed.

11.5. Assignment and Participations

This Agreement and the Obligations of Borrower may not be assigned by Borrower. Lender may, subject to the limitations set forth below, assign or transfer, in whole or in part, any Advances, together with its corresponding rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and further may sell participations in all or any part of any Advances or any other interest in the Obligations or any of its obligations under this Agreement to another Person. The rights of any such assignee or participant against Lender in respect of such assignment or participation are those set forth in the agreement executed by that Lender in favor of the assignee or participant

Lender shall retain all voting rights with respect to the Note, the Advances hereunder and the Commitments. Borrower shall continue to deal solely and directly with Lender in connection with Lender’s rights and obligations under the Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained herein shall in any manner or to any extent affect the right of Lender to assign its Notes and its right to receive and retain payments on its Notes provided Lender remains primarily and directly liable pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to keep, observe and perform all of its obligations under this Agreement. Lender may furnish any information concerning Borrower in its possession from time to time to Affiliates and to assignees and participants (including prospective assignees and participants) and Borrower hereby consents to the provision of such information. Without limitation of the exclusive right of Lender to collect and enforce such Obligations, Borrower agrees that each disposition will give rise to a debtor-creditor relationship of Borrower to the assignee or participant, and Borrower authorizes each assignee or participant, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, to proceed directly by right of setoff, banker’s lien, or otherwise, against any assets of Borrower which may be in the hands of such assignee or participant.

11.6. Amendments

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented unless the amendment, modification or supplement is set forth in writing signed by both Borrower and Lender.

11.7. Governing Law

This Agreement and the other Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws.

11.8. Relationship of the Parties

This Agreement provides for the making and repayment of Warehousing Advances by Lender (in its capacity as a lender) and Borrower (in its capacity as a borrower), for the payment of interest on those Warehousing Advances and for the payment of certain fees by Borrower to Lender. The relationship between Lender and Borrower is limited to that of creditor and secured party on the part of Lender and of debtor on the part of Borrower. The provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents for compliance with financial covenants and the delivery of financial statements and other operating reports are intended solely for the benefit of Lender to protect its interest as a creditor and secured party. Nothing in this Agreement creates or may be construed as permitting or obligating Lender to act as a financial or business advisor or consultant to Borrower, as permitting or obligating Lender to control Borrower or to conduct Borrower’s operations, as creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of Lender to Borrower, or as creating any joint venture, agency, partnership or other relationship between Lender and Borrower other than as explicitly and specifically stated in the Loan Documents. Borrower acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choice in connection with the negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents and to obtain the advice of that counsel with respect to all matters contained in the Loan Documents, including the waivers of jury trial and of punitive, consequential, special or indirect damages contained in Sections 11.15 and 11.16, respectively. Borrower further acknowledges that it is experienced with respect to financial and credit matters and has made its own independent decisions to apply to Lender for credit and to execute and deliver this Agreement.

11.9. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is declared to be illegal or unenforceable in any respect, that provision is null and void and of no force and effect to the extent of the illegality or unenforceability, and does not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of the Agreement.

11.10. Consent to Credit References

Borrower consents to the disclosure of information regarding Borrower and its Subsidiaries and their relationships with Lender to Persons making credit inquiries to Lender. This consent is revocable by Borrower at any time upon Notice to Lender as provided in Section 11.1.

11.11. Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together constitute but one and the same instrument.

11.12. Headings/Captions

The captions or headings in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or describe the scope or intent of any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Document.

11.13. Entire Agreement

This Agreement, the Warehousing Note and the other Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties with respect to their subject matter, and may not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous oral agreements among the parties. There are no oral agreements among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note and the other Loan Documents.

11.14. Consent to Jurisdiction

AT THE OPTION OF LENDER, THIS AGREEMENT, THE WAREHOUSING NOTE AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS MAY BE ENFORCED IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. BORROWER CONSENTS TO THE JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF THOSE COURTS, AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION TO THE JURISDICTION OR VENUE OF THOSE COURTS, INCLUDING THE OBJECTION THAT VENUE IN THOSE COURTS IS NOT CONVENIENT. ANY SUCH SUIT, ACTION OR PROCEEDING MAY BE COMMENCED AND INSTITUTED BY SERVICE OF PROCESS UPON BORROWER BY FIRST CLASS REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED, ADDRESSED TO BORROWER AT ITS ADDRESS LAST KNOWN TO LENDER. BORROWER’S CONSENT AND AGREEMENT UNDER THIS SECTION DOES NOT AFFECT LENDER’S RIGHT TO ACCOMPLISH SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW OR TO COMMENCE LEGAL PROCEEDINGS OR OTHERWISE PROCEED AGAINST BORROWER IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION OR COURT. IN THE EVENT BORROWER COMMENCES ANY ACTION IN ANOTHER JURISDICTION OR VENUE UNDER ANY TORT OR CONTRACT THEORY ARISING DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY FROM THE RELATIONSHIP CREATED BY THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS, LENDER AT ITS OPTION MAY HAVE THE CASE TRANSFERRED TO A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT WITHIN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA OR, IF A TRANSFER CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, MAY HAVE BORROWER’S ACTION DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
