(a) This amended agreement shall commence January 1, 2001 and shall

successive one-year periods beginning January 1, 2004, unless a notice of
non-renewal is timely delivered as described below.
(b) In addition to such further liability or obligation of either party
to the other due upon termination of this agreement, if this agreement is
terminated without cause (as "cause" is defined below), the Company shall pay
the Manager a termination fee in an amount equal to the greater of (1) the fair
market value of this agreement determined by an independent appraisal or (2) ten
percent (10%) of the total face amount of the notes evidencing the mortgage loan
portfolio of the Company, each determined as of the date of notice of

appraisal firm mutually agreed upon by the parties and the costs of such
appraisal shall be borne equally by the parties. If the parties are unable to
agree upon such appraisal firm within 30 days following delivery of the notice
of non-renewal, then each party shall, as soon as reasonably practicable, but in
no event more than 45 days following delivery of the notice of non-renewal,
choose a nationally-recognized independent appraisal firm to conduct an
appraisal. In such event, (1) the fair market value amount shall be deemed to be
the average of the appraisals as conducted by each party's chosen appraiser and
(2) each party shall pay the costs of its appraiser so chosen. Any appraisal
shall be performed no later than 45 days following selection of the appraiser or
appraisers. The termination fee payable by the Company shall be paid within 30
days following receipt of the final appraisal to be obtained.
Section 10. Termination by Company for Cause. At the option of the
Company, this agreement shall be and become terminated upon written notice of

notice of such violation, the Manager has failed to cure such violation within
60 days; or
(b) there is entered an order for relief or similar decree or order with respect
to the Manager by a court having competent jurisdiction in an involuntary case
under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter constituted or under any
applicable federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar laws; or the

debts as they become due and payable, or makes a general assignment for
the benefit of, or enters into any composition or arrangement with,
creditors;
(2) applies for, or consents, by admission of material
allegations of a petition or otherwise, to the appointment of a
receiver, trustee, assignee, custodian, liquidator or sequestrator, or
other similar official, of the Manager or of any substantial part of

or proceedings seeking such appointment are commenced without such
authorization, consent or application against the Manager and continue
undismissed for 60 days;
(3) authorizes or files a voluntary petition in bankruptcy,
or applies for or consents, by admission of material allegations of a
petition or otherwise, to the application of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, readjustment of debt, insolvency,
dissolution, liquidation or other similar law of any jurisdiction, or
authorizes such application or consent, or proceedings to such end are
instituted against the Manager without such authorization, application
or consent and are approved as properly instituted and remain
undismissed for 60 days or result in adjudication of bankruptcy or
insolvency; or
(4) permits or suffers all or any substantial part of its
properties or assets to be sequestered or attached by court order and

expenses to which it is then entitled, pay over to the Company or any subsidiary
of the Company all money collected and held for the account of the Company or
any subsidiary of the Company pursuant to this agreement;
(b) deliver to the Board of Directors a full accounting, including a
statement showing all payments collected by it and a statement of all money held

7
(c) deliver to the Board of Directors all property and documents of the
Company or any subsidiary of the Company then in the custody of the Manager.

The Manager agrees that any money or other property of the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company held by the Manager under this agreement shall be held
by the Manager as custodian for the Company or such subsidiary, and the
Manager's records shall be appropriately marked clearly to reflect the ownership
of such money or other property by the Company or such subsidiary. Upon the
receipt by the Manager of a written request signed by a duly authorized officer
of the Company requesting the Manager to release to the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company any money or other property then held by the Manager
for the account of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company under this
Agreement, the Manager shall release such money or other property to the Company
or such subsidiary of the Company within a reasonable period of time, but in no
event later than the later to occur of (1) 30 days following such request and
(2) the earliest time following such request that remittance will not cause the
Manager to violate any law or breach any agreement to which it or the Company is
a party. The Manager shall not be liable to the Company, any subsidiaries of the
Company, the unaffiliated directors, or the Company's or its subsidiaries'
stockholders for any acts performed or omissions to act by the Company or any
subsidiary of the Company in connection with the money or other property

bad faith, willful misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its
duties. The Company and any subsidiary of the Company shall indemnify the
Manager, its directors, officers, stockholders and employees against any and all
expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims of any
nature whatsoever, which arise in connection with the Manager's release of such
money or other property to the Company or any subsidiary of the Company unless
such expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, charges and claims arise
in connection with acts or omissions which constitute bad faith, willful
misconduct, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties.
Indemnification pursuant to this provision shall be in addition to any right of
the Manager to indemnification under this agreement.
