It is the intention of the parties that Borrower’s indebtedness under this Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement and the Master Promissory Note. |
| 2.3. | Funding of Line. Bank will provide a Warehouse Clearing Account upon which Borrower will draw funds either by check or by wire transfer in an amount equal to the Advance Amount of the Eligible Mortgage Loan to be closed or acquired in accordance with Bank’s then-current funding procedures, which procedures Bank may change from time to time at its sole discretion.

| 2.3.2. | There shall exist no condition or event constituting an Event of Default as defined in Article 6 hereof or under the Master Promissory Note |
| 2.3.3. | The warranties included in Article 3 hereof shall be true and correct as though made at such time of presentment and Borrower shall have performed, or caused to have been performed, all of its covenants under this Agreement through such time |
| 3.1.1. | Borrower shall have furnished the following documents to Bank with respect to each Eligible Mortgage Loan to be closed and funded hereunder no later than the date the Eligible Mortgage Loan is scheduled to be closed or acquired: |
| 3.1.1.1. | A copy of the Advance Request and Supplemental Closing Instructions, completed in all material respects and |
| 3.1.1.2. | Such other documentation as to any Eligible Mortgage Loan as the Bank may reasonably request. |

| Loan Agreement - «BROKER_NAME» («BROKER_ID») - «CONTRACT_DATE» | Page 4 of 23 |
| 3.1.1.8. | Such other documentation as to any Eligible Mortgage Loans as the Bank may have reasonably requested in writing, including any of the same as may be required by any Qualified Investor or any guarantor or purchaser of such Eligible Mortgage Loans. |
All documentation shall be satisfactory in form and substance to Bank. All such documentation requiring the signature of the Borrower shall have been signed by a duly authorized officer of Borrower, and Bank shall be and it is hereby so authorized, to rely upon any signature on any such document as having been authorized. Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to and make an Advance to cover the Closing Check presented with regard to an Eligible Mortgage Loan(s) regardless of whether all of the documents required by Section 2.3.5. have been delivered to Bank within two (2) Business Days after the Eligible Mortgage Loan is closed if the requirements of Sections 2.3.1. through 2.3.4. have been met provided, however, that Bank’s determination to waive the requirements of the delivery of the Advance Documents to the Bank in accordance with Section 2.3.5. and to Advance funds sufficient to cover the Closing Check issued to the Closing Agent in respect to the particular Eligible Mortgage Loan(s) shall not be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of such term or condition with respect to any other Eligible Mortgage Loan or Loans, nor shall such operate as a waiver of Borrower’s breach of this Agreement by its failure to fulfill all conditions precedent. In such event, notwithstanding Bank’s decision to make the Advance sufficient to cover the Closing Check, Bank still may, in its sole and absolute discretion, declare an Event of Default hereunder and take such steps or actions hereunder or under the Master Promissory Note as are available, including, but not limited to, refusing to make any further Advances under this Agreement and/or accelerating the maturity of the Master Promissory Note.
Notwithstanding the occurrence of Termination Date, the Bank, at its sole and absolute discretion, may thereafter permit the Borrower to draw funds hereunder in accordance with the terms, conditions and provisions hereof. Any draws permitted by Bank after the Termination Date shall not constitute an extension, renewal or modification of the Line of Credit or the Termination Date, the waiver by Bank of any Event of Default, or otherwise obligate the Bank to permit subsequent draws hereunder.
| 3.2. | Additional Documentation. Borrower covenants that it will promptly obtain and deliver, or cause to be obtained and delivered any additional loan or other documentation reasonably requested by Bank which is customary in the mortgage banking business in order to make each Eligible Mortgage Loan marketable.

| 2.6. | Repayment of Line of Credit. The entire principal amount of each individual Advance under the Line of Credit, and all fees and interest accrued thereon, shall be payable, on the earlier of: |

| 3.1.3. | The date the Borrower assigns, sells, transfers, conveys, or commences foreclosure upon the Eligible Mortgage Loan closed or acquired with respect thereto, or |
| 2.6.5. | Termination of this Agreement. |

It is agreed that interest on the Master Promissory Note shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (366 in Leap year) day year unless calculation on that basis would result in Bank receiving interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge, in which case such |
| Loan Agreement - «BROKER_NAME» («BROKER_ID») - «CONTRACT_DATE» | Page 5 of 23 |
indebtedness shall bear interest at such maximum rate. The indebtedness shall also bear interest after maturity (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) at the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge thereon.

The Borrower shall promptly reimburse the Bank for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and filing of any such document, including, but not limited to, stamp taxes, recording taxes, privilege taxes, and filing fees. The Bank shall send a copy of any such filing to the Borrower provided, however, that the failure to send that copy shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such filing.

Notwithstanding the provision of such nonconforming documentation to Bank, Borrower represents and warrants that the use of such nonconforming documentation in connection with the Eligible Mortgage Loan will not violate the Lock in respect thereof, will not give the Qualified Investor the right to refuse to Purchase the Eligible Mortgage Loan for the Purchase Price, and will not otherwise adversely affect the marketability of such Eligible Mortgage Loan in the secondary mortgage market. |

Prior to the time Bank has received payment in full for any Advance to fund a particular Eligible Mortgage Loan, Borrower will not request or accept delivery of the original Mortgage Note, and if any such documents are delivered to Borrower in error or otherwise, Borrower will immediately notify Bank of such event by telephone and cause such documents to be delivered as soon as practical to Bank. |

June 1, 2006
Memphis, Tennessee
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned (“Borrower”)(jointly and severally if more than one) promises to pay to the order of First Tennessee Bank, Memphis, Tennessee (“Bank”), or to the order of any subsequent holder hereof, in lawful money of the United States of America, the principal sum of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances pursuant to that certain Mortgage Warehouse Loan Agreement of even date herewith (“Agreement”) between the undersigned and the Bank, together with interest thereon at the rate hereinafter specified from the Funding Date of each advance. The maximum aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances pursuant to the Agreement shall be $30,000,000.00 unless the Bank, in its sole discretion, honors Borrower requests for aggregate advances in excess of $30,000,000.00.
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning defined within the Agreement.
Subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, the disbursed and unpaid principal balances of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall bear interest prior to repayment at a variable rate per annum (“Warehouse Rate”) which shall, from day to day, be equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum effective variable contract rate of interest (“Maximum Rate”) which Bank may from time to time lawfully charge, or (b) a rate equal to One Month LIBOR plus 2.10%. It is agreed that interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (366 in Leap year) day year unless calculation on that basis would result in Bank receiving interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge, in which case such indebtedness shall bear interest at such maximum rate. The indebtedness shall also bear interest after maturity (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) at the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge thereon.
Principal and interest as computed above shall be payable in the following manner:
As to Principal and accrued interest, each advance hereunder, and interest accrued thereon shall be payable on the earlier of:
| (i) | Forty-five (45) days from the Advance Date of the Eligible Mortgage Loan, |

The Bank may, in its sole discretion, honor one or more advances requested hereunder by the Borrower after maturity, and any such advance shall be considered an extension of credit hereunder and governed by the terms of the Agreement. Any such advance shall be immediately due and payable.
Any unpaid principal and interest accrued thereon shall also bear interest, from the date of maturity as set forth above, (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) until the unpaid advance is fully satisfied, at the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge on the date hereof or such maximum rate so permitted on the maturity date hereof, whichever is greater.
The Base Rate is one of several interest rate indices employed by the Bank. The undersigned acknowledges that the Bank has made, and may hereafter make, loans bearing interest at rates which are higher or lower than the Base Rate.
Any renewal or extension of the debt evidenced hereby shall bear interest at the rate of interest set by Bank at that time, not to exceed the maximum rate which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge either on the date hereof or on the date of such renewal or extension, whichever is greater.
All installments, prepayments and payments of principal and interest shall be applied first to fees, then to interest, and the balance to principal due hereunder and are payable at Bank, 165 Madison, Memphis, Tennessee 38103, or such other place or places as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of

It is contemplated that the original principal sum evidenced hereby shall be reduced from time to time, and that additional loans and advances may be made in the future, which additional loans and/or advances shall be evidenced by this Note and subject to its terms and conditions.
Upon the happening of any of the following events, all of the aforesaid liabilities shall, without notice except as provided under the terms of the Agreement, at the option of the Bank, become immediately due without demand for payment thereof: (a) the failure of any Obligor (which term shall include the undersigned makers, together with all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of this Note) to perform any agreement hereunder or related to the loan evidenced hereby (b) the filing of any action for the appointment of a receiver for, the making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or any other act of insolvency of any Obligor, however expressed or indicated (c) the entry of a materially adverse judgment against any Obligor (d) the filing of any materially adverse lien against any property of any obligor (e) the taking of possession of any substantial part of the property of any Obligor at the instance of any governmental authority (f) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of change in control of any Obligor (g) the reasonable determination by the Bank that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of any Obligor (h) the assignment by the undersigned of any equity or other right in any of the collateral without the written consent of the Bank (i) the Bank deeming itself to be insecure or (j) the occurrence of any event of default under the Agreement or the failure to make any payment or any other default on any other indebtedness owing by the undersigned to Bank.
