PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS

A. SPV and TFC desire to amend certain provisions of the SPV Loan Agreement in order to extend an additional advance in the principal amount of $26,333,737.55 to SPV to be secured, in part, with additional Receivables pledged under the SPV Loan Agreement, all in accordance with the terms of the SPV Loan Agreement, as amended hereby.

B. In consideration of the foregoing, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendments to the SPV Loan Agreement. Effective as of the date hereof, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth in Section 2 below, the SPV Loan Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

     1.1 Section 2.1 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     “2.1 Loan. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Loan Agreement, including satisfaction of the conditions precedent in Section 4, TFC shall make an advance (the “First Advance”) to SPV on December 19, 2003 in a principal amount equal to the lesser of (x) $66,380,808.54 or (y) the Advance Amount then in effect. On March 28, 2005 (the “Second Advance Funding Date”) TFC shall make a second advance in a principal amount equal to $26,333,737.55 (the “Second Advance” and together with the First Advance, the “Loan”); provided, however, the sum of the First Advance and the Second Advance shall not exceed the Advance Amount then in effect. At the request of SPV, on the Closing Date, proceeds of the First Advance will be disbursed by TFC to pay the purchase price of the Receivables acquired by SPV from Developer and to pay dividends to Developer. At the request of SPV, on the Second Advance Funding Date, proceeds of the Second Advance will be disbursed by TFC to pay the purchase price of the Receivables acquired by SPV from Developer and to pay dividends to Developer. Amounts repaid in respect of the Loan may not be reborrowed.”

 


 

     1.2 Section 2.2 is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     “2.2 Interest Payment. The aggregate principal amount of the First Advance which is outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at a rate equal to the First Advance Interest Rate or, at TFC’s election and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the First Advance Maturity Date, at the First Advance Default Interest Rate. The aggregate principal amount of the Second Advance which is outstanding from time to time shall bear interest at a rate equal to the Second Advance Interest Rate or, at TFC’s election and sole discretion after the occurrence of an Event of Default or the Second Advance Maturity Date, at the Second Advance Default Interest Rate. Interest, in each case, shall be payable in arrears on each Payment Date in respect of the immediately preceding Settlement Period or, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the First Advance Maturity Date with respect to interest due on the First Advance or the Second Advance Maturity Date with respect to interest due on the Second Advance, upon demand. Any payment received by TFC later than 12 noon E.S.T. on any Business Day shall be deemed to have been received on the next Business Day.”

     1.3 Section 2.5(a) is hereby amended and restated as follows:

     “(a) Final Payments. SPV agrees to pay (i) the entire outstanding principal balance of the First Advance in full on or before the First Advance Maturity Date and (ii) the entire outstanding principal balance of the Second Advance, together with all other Obligations, in full on or before the Second Advance Maturity Date.”

     1.4 The first sentence of Section 2.5(c) is hereby replaced with the following two sentences:

     “On each Payment Date, SPV shall prepay (i) the principal amount of the First Advance by an amount equal to 85% of the First Advance Principal Distributable Amount and (ii) the principal amount of the Second Advance by an amount equal to 85% of the Second Advance Principal Distributable Amount, in each case, for the immediately preceding Settlement Period. If at any time it is determined, absent manifest error, that the aggregate Outstanding Balance of PPM Receivables in Pool II determined as of the Second Advance Funding Date related to the Second Advance is greater than zero, SPV shall (within one Business Day of such determination) repay such amount to TFC.”

     1.5 Section 2.5(d) is hereby amended and restated as follows:
