A. Formation, Powers and Good Standing.
(i) Formation and Powers. Borrower is a corporation,
limited partnership or limited liability company duly organized,
validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of
its formation. Borrower has all requisite corporate, partnership or
limited liability company power and authority to own and operate its
properties, to carry on its business as now conducted and proposed to
be conducted, to enter into this Agreement, to issue the Note and to
carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.
(ii) Good Standing. Borrower is in good standing
wherever necessary to carry on its business and operations, except in
jurisdictions in which the failure to be in good standing has and will
have no material adverse effect on the financial condition or results
of operation of Borrower.
(iii) Principal Place of Business. Each Borrower's
principal place of business is located at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
B. Authorization of Borrowing, etc.
(i) Authorization of Borrowing. The execution,
delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the issuance, delivery
and payment of the Note, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action by Borrower.
(ii) No Conflict. The execution, delivery and
performance by Borrower of this Agreement and the issuance, delivery
and payment of the Note, and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not (a) violate any
provision of law applicable to Borrower, articles or certificate of
incorporation or bylaws or similar documents governing the formation
and internal governance of Borrower, or any order, judgment or decree
of any court or other agency of government binding on Borrower, (b)
conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute (with due notice or
lapse of time or both) a default under any Contractual Obligation of
Borrower, (c) result in or require the creation or imposition of any
Lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature whatsoever upon any of its
properties or assets except the Lien in favor of Lender pursuant to
Section 5.1, or (d) require any approval of
9
shareholders or any approval or consent of any Person under any
Contractual Obligation of Borrower other than approvals or consents
which have been obtained and disclosed in writing to Lender.
(iii) Governmental Consents. The execution, delivery
and performance by Borrower of this Agreement and the issuance,
delivery and payment of the Note, and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, do not and will not
require any registration with, consent or approval of, or notice to, or
other action to, with or by, any Federal, state or other governmental
authority or regulatory body or other Person by Borrower except those
that have been obtained and disclosed in writing to Lender.
(iv) Binding Obligation. This Agreement is, and the
Note when executed and delivered hereunder will be, the legally valid
and binding obligations of Borrower, enforceable against it in
accordance with their respective terms, except as enforcement may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or
similar laws or equitable principles relating to or limiting creditors'
rights generally.
C. Financial Condition. IMCC has heretofore delivered to
Lender a consolidated balance sheet of IMCC as of September 30, 1996,
and the related statements of income, shareholders' equity and
statement of cash flows for the fiscal year then ended. All such
consolidated statements were prepared in accordance with GAAP and
fairly present the financial position of IMCC, as at the date thereof,
and the results of operations and statement of cash flows of IMCC, for
the year then ended. As of the Effective Date, Borrower will not have
any material Contingent Obligation or liability for taxes, long-term
lease or unusual forward or long-term commitment, which in accordance
with GAAP is not reflected in the foregoing statements, or in the notes
thereto.
D. Changes, etc. Since the date of the most recent balance
sheet of Borrower that has been delivered to Lender and the related
statements of income, shareholders' equity and statement of cash flow
for the period then ended, there has not been, and no event has
occurred that would or could reasonably be expected to result in, a
Material Adverse Change, other than changes expressly contemplated by
or disclosed in this Agreement or otherwise disclosed by Borrower to
Lender prior to the date hereof.
E. Title to Properties; Liens. Borrower has good, sufficient,
marketable and legal title to all Collateral pledged pursuant to this
Agreement by Borrower. The pledge and assignment of the Collateral
pursuant to this Agreement create a valid security interest in the
Collateral and the Lien on the Collateral created by this Agreement
will be a first priority Lien thereon, superior to all other Liens.
Except for the making of an Advance, the due filing of any financing
statement and any applicable continuation statement with respect to the
Collateral (and except for (i) delivery to Lender or its designee of
any Collateral as to which possession is the only method of perfecting
a
10
security interest in such Collateral or (ii) transfer of any book-entry
security in accordance with Section 313 of Article 8 of the UCC), no
further action need be taken in order to create and perfect the
security interest of Lender in all the Collateral.
F. Litigation; Adverse Facts. There is no action, suit,
proceeding or arbitration (whether or not purportedly on behalf of
Borrower) at law or in equity or before or by any Federal, state,
municipal or other governmental department, commission, board, bureau,
agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, pending or, to the
knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower, or any
of its properties, or any proposed tax assessment and there is no basis
known to Borrower for any action, suit or proceeding which would, in
either case if adversely determined, cause a Material Adverse Change.
Borrower is not (i) in violation of any applicable law which violation
causes or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change, or (ii) subject to or in default with respect to any final
judgment, writ, injunction, decree, rule or regulation of any court or
Federal, state, municipal or other governmental department, commission,
board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, which
would or could reasonably be expected to cause a Material Adverse
Change. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending
or, to the knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting
Borrower which questions the validity or the enforceability of this
Agreement or the Note.
G. Payment of Taxes. Borrower has filed all tax returns that
are required to be filed by Borrower (subject to any permissible
extension obtained pursuant to an extension request), and all taxes,
assessments, fees and other governmental charges upon Borrower as set
forth in such returns and upon its properties and assets which are due
and payable have been paid when due and payable, except to the extent
permitted by Section 6.3.
H. Other Agreements; Performance.
(i) Agreements. Borrower is not, and on any Advance
Date will not be, a party to or subject to any Contractual Obligation
or charter or other internal restriction that has or could reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
(ii) Performance. Borrower is not, and on any Advance
Date will not be, in default in the performance, observance or
fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions
contained in any Contractual Obligation of Borrower, and no condition
exists which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both,
would constitute such a default, except where the consequences, direct
or indirect, of such default or defaults, if any, would not have a
Material Adverse Effect. To the best knowledge of Borrower, the other
parties to each Contractual Obligation of Borrower are not in default
thereunder, except where the consequences, direct or indirect, of such
default or defaults, if any, would not or could not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
11
I. Governmental Regulation. Borrower is not, and at the
Effective Date will not be, an "investment company" or a company
"controlled" by an investment company within the meaning of the
Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or subject to any Federal
or state statute or regulation limiting its ability to incur
Indebtedness for money borrowed.
J. Borrower's Securities Activities. Borrower is not, and at
the Effective Date will not be, engaged in the business of extending
credit for the purpose of purchasing or carrying any Margin Stock.
Neither Borrower nor any agent acting on its behalf has taken any
action which might cause this Agreement or the Note to violate
Regulation X or any other regulation of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System as in effect now or as may hereafter be in
effect on the date of any Advance.
K. Employee Benefit Plans. Borrower is in compliance in all
material respects with all applicable provisions of ERISA and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986 and the regulations and published
interpretations thereunder with respect to all Employee Benefit Plans.
Neither Borrower nor any of Borrower's ERISA Affiliates has engaged in
any transaction prohibited by Section 408 of ERISA or Section 4975 of
the Code.
L. Disclosure. No representation or warranty of Borrower
contained in this Agreement (other than any representation or warranty
contained in Section 2.2 or 2.3 hereof) or any other document,
certificate or written statement furnished to Lender by or on behalf of
Borrower for use in connection with the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact (known to Borrower in the case of any
document not furnished by it) necessary in order to make the statements
contained herein or therein not misleading. As of the date of delivery
by Borrower to Lender of any report, statement or other certificate
pursuant to this Agreement, Borrower shall be deemed to certify that
any such report, statement or other certificate is accurate and
complete in all material respects. There is no fact known to Borrower
(other than matters of a general economic nature) which would have a
Material Adverse Effect and which has not been disclosed herein or in
such other documents, certificates and statements furnished to Lender
for use in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
M. Compliance with State Law. Borrower is in compliance with
the laws, regulations and rules of each State of the United States of
America, and with any other jurisdiction which may be applicable to
Borrower, to the extent necessary to ensure the enforceability of
Lender's security interest in the Collateral. Borrower has obtained all
permits and licenses necessary to carry on its business and operations
except in jurisdictions in which the failure to obtain a permit or
license has and will have no Material Adverse Effect.
12
Section 2.2 Representations and Warranties Relating to Pledged
Loans. With respect to any Advance secured by Eligible Assets that consist of
Pledged Loans, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, as to each
Pledged Loan and the related Mortgage and Pledged Note:
A. The information set forth in the related Pledged
Loan Schedule and all other information or data furnished by, or on
behalf of, Borrower to Lender (i) is complete, true and correct in all
material respects, and Borrower acknowledges that Lender has not
verified the accuracy of such information or data and (ii) is identical
in all material respects to any related statement transmitted to
Custodian for the purpose of Custodian issuing the related Trust
Receipt.
B. As of the date of delivery by Borrower to Lender of
any report, statement or other certificate pursuant to this Agreement,
Borrower shall be deemed to certify that any such report, statement or
other certificate (including without limitation any collateral tapes or
reports delivered pursuant to Section 6.10) is complete, true and
correct in all material respect.
C. Borrower is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Pledged Loan. The Pledged Loan is not assigned or pledged, and
Borrower has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right and
authority to pledge or assign the Pledged Loan to Lender free and clear
of any encumbrance, equity, participation interest, lien, pledge,
charge, claim or security interest, except for any warehouse lien to be
released concurrently with any Advance made by Lender to Borrower
hereunder.
D. With respect to any Pledged Loan, all payments
required to be made up to the Advance Date for the Pledged Loan under
the terms of the Mortgage Note have been made and credited within a
reasonable period of time. No payment required under any such Pledged
Loan is more than 89 days delinquent nor has any payment under the
Pledged Loan been delinquent at any time since the origination of the
Pledged Loan.
E. There are no defaults in complying with the terms
of the Mortgage, and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or
ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or
an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay
for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed
but is not yet due and payable. Except as expressly permitted by the
Seller's Guide, neither Borrower nor its respective designated servicer
has advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any
advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or
indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Pledged
Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note
or date of disbursement of the Pledged Loan proceeds, whichever is
greater, to the day which precedes by one month the Advance Date.
13
F. The terms of the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage
have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect,
except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary,
to protect the interests of Lender and which has been delivered to
Lender. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification
has been approved by the issuer of any related primary mortgage
insurance policy and the title insurer, to the extent required by the
policy, and its terms are reflected on the Pledged Loan Schedule. No
Mortgagor has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection
with an assumption agreement approved by the issuer of any related
primary mortgage insurance policy and the title insurer, to the extent
required by the policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the
Required Documents delivered to Lender or Custodian and the terms of
which are reflected in the Pledged Loan Schedule.
G. The Pledged Loan is not subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without
limitation the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any of the
terms of the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage, or the exercise of any
right thereunder, render either the Mortgage Note or the Mortgage
unenforceable, in whole or in part, or subject to any right of
rescission, set-off, counterclaim or defense, including without
limitation the defense of usury, and no such right of rescission,
set-off, counterclaim or defense has been asserted with respect
thereto.
H. Pursuant to the terms of the Mortgage, all
buildings or other improvements upon the Mortgaged Property are insured
by a generally acceptable insurer against loss by fire, hazards of
extended coverage and such other hazards as are customary in the area
where the Mortgaged Property is located pursuant to insurance policies
conforming to the requirements of prudent lenders conducting business
in the area in which the Mortgaged property is located. If, upon
origination of the Pledged Loan, the Mortgaged Property was in an area
identified in the Federal Register by the Federal Emergency Management
Agency as having special flood hazards (and such flood insurance has
been made available) a flood insurance policy meeting the requirements
of the current guidelines of the Federal Insurance Administration is in
effect which policy conforms to the requirements of prudent lenders
conducting business in the area in which the Mortgaged Property is
located. All individual insurance policies contain a standard mortgagee
clause naming Borrower or its designated servicer and its successors
and assigns as mortgagee, and all premiums thereon have been paid. The
Mortgage obligates the Mortgagor thereunder to maintain the hazard
insurance policy at the Mortgagor's cost and expense, and on the
Mortgagor's failure to do so, authorizes the holder of the Mortgage to
obtain and maintain such insurance at such Mortgagor's cost and
expense, and to seek reimbursement therefor from the Mortgagor. The
hazard insurance policy is the valid and binding obligation of the
insurer, is in full force and effect, and will be in full force and
effect and inure to the benefit of Lender upon the consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Borrower has not engaged
in, and has no knowledge of the Mortgagor's or any other party's having
engaged in, any act or omission which would impair the coverage of any
such policy, the benefits of the endorsement provided for herein, or
the validity and binding effect of either.
14
I. Any and all requirements of any federal, state or
local law including, without limitation, usury, truth-in-lending, real
estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Pledged Loan have been
complied with.
J. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, cancelled,
subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged
Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole
or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would effect any
such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission.
K. The Mortgaged Property is located in the state
identified in the Pledged Loan Schedule and consists of a single parcel
of real property with a detached single family residence erected
thereon, or a two- to four-family dwelling, or an individual
condominium unit in a low-rise condominium project, or an individual
unit in a planned unit development, provided, however, that any
condominium unit or planned unit development shall conform with the
requirements set forth in the Seller's Guide regarding such dwellings
and that no residence or dwelling is a mobile home or a manufactured
dwelling unless it has been permanently affixed in accordance with the
laws of the applicable jurisdiction. At no time shall more than two
percent (2%) of the aggregate outstanding amount of Advances be secured
by Pledged Loans with respect to which the related Mortgaged Property
is used for mixed use purposes (i.e. commercial/residential purposes).
L. The Mortgage is a valid, subsisting and enforceable
first lien [or second lien] on the Mortgaged Property, including all
buildings on the Mortgaged Property and all installations and
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems
located in or annexed to such buildings, and all additions, alterations
and replacements made at any time with respect to the foregoing. The
lien of such Mortgage is subject only to (1) the lien of current real
property taxes and assessments not yet due and payable, (2) covenants,
conditions and restrictions, rights of way, easements and other matters
of the public record as of the date of recording acceptable to mortgage
lending institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
lender's title insurance policy delivered to the originator of the
Pledged Loan and (I) referred to or to otherwise considered in the
appraisal made for the originator of the Pledged Loan or (II) which do
not adversely affect the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property set
forth in such appraisal, and (3) other matters to which like properties
are commonly subject which do not materially interfere with the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by the Mortgage or the
use, enjoyment, value or marketability of the related Mortgaged
Property.
M. Any security agreement, chattel mortgage or
equivalent document related to and delivered in connection with the
Pledged Loan establishes and creates a valid, subsisting and
enforceable first lien and first priority security interest on the
property described therein and Borrower has full right to assign or
pledge the same to
15
Lender. Except as expressly permitted by the Seller's Guide, the
related Mortgaged Property was not, as of the date of origination of
the Pledged Loan, subject to a mortgage, deed of trust, deed to secured
debt or other security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the
lien of the Mortgage.
N. The Mortgage Note and the Mortgage are genuine, and
each is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof
enforceable in accordance with its terms. All parties to the Mortgage
Note and the Mortgage had legal capacity to enter into the Pledged Loan
and to execute and deliver the Mortgage Note and the Mortgage, and the
Mortgage Note and the Mortgage have been duly and properly executed by
such parties.
O. The proceeds of the Pledged Loan have been fully
disbursed and there is no requirement for future advances thereunder,
and any and all requirements as to completion of any on-site or
off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor have been duly complied with. All costs, fees and expenses
incurred in making or closing the Pledged Loan and the recording of the
Mortgage were paid, and the Mortgagor is not entitled to any refund of
any amounts paid or due under the Mortgage Note or Mortgage.
P. All parties that have had any interest in the
Pledged Loan, whether as mortgagee, assignee, pledgee or otherwise, are
or, during the period in which they held and disposed of such interest,
were (1) in compliance with any and all applicable licensing
requirements of the laws of the state wherein the Mortgaged Property is
located, and (2) either (a) organized under the laws of such state, or
(b) qualified to do business in such state, or (c) federal savings and
loan associations or national banks having principal offices in such
state, or (d) not doing business in such state.
Q. The Pledged Loan has a loan-to-value ratio that is
in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Seller's Guide.
All provisions of any primary mortgage insurance policy have been and
are being complied with, such policy is in full force and effect, and
all premiums due thereunder have been paid. Any Pledged Loan subject to
a primary mortgage insurance policy obligates the Mortgagor thereunder
to maintain the primary mortgage insurance policy and to pay all
premiums and charges in connection therewith.
R. The Pledged Loan is covered by either (1) an
attorney's opinion of title and abstract of title, the form and
substance of which are acceptable to mortgage lending institutions
making mortgage loans in the area where the Mortgaged Property is
located or (2) an ALTA lender's title insurance policy or other
generally acceptable form of policy or insurance acceptable to FNMA or
FHLMC, issued by a title insurer acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC and
qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the Mortgaged
Property is located, insuring Borrower or its designated Servicer, its
successors and assigns, as to the first priority lien of the Mortgage
in the original
16
principal amount of the Pledged Loan, subject only to the exceptions
contained in clauses (1), (2) and (3) of paragraph (K) of this Section
2.2. Borrower or its designated Servicer is the sole insured of such
lender's title insurance policy, and such lender's title insurance
policy is in full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. No
claims have been made under such lender's title insurance policy, and
no prior holder of the Mortgage, including Borrower, has done, by act
or omission, anything that would impair the coverage of such lender's
title insurance policy.
S. There is no default, breach, violation or event of
acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no
event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration
of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,
violation or event of acceleration. Neither Borrower nor its respective
predecessors have waived any material default, breach, violation or
event of acceleration.
T. There are no mechanics' or similar liens or claims
which have been filed for work, labor or material, and no rights are
outstanding that under the law could give rise to such liens, affecting
the related Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens prior to, or
equal or coordinate with, the lien of the related Mortgage.
U. All improvements which were considered in
determining the appraised value of the Mortgaged Property lay wholly
within the boundaries and building restriction lines of the Mortgaged
Property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the
Mortgaged Property. No improvement located on or being part of the
Mortgaged Property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or
regulation.
V. The Pledged Loan was originated by Borrower in
strict compliance with the requirements set forth in the Seller's
Guide. The Mortgage Note is payable in accordance with the requirements
set forth in the Seller's Guide, with an outstanding principal balance
of no more than $1 million (unless Lender has given Borrower its prior
written consent to any Pledged Loan in excess of such amount).
W. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable
provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of
the benefits of the security provided thereby, including, (1) in the
case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale,
and (2) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. Except where available under
applicable law, there is no homestead or other exemption available to a
Mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the Mortgaged
Property at a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the Mortgage.
17
X. The Pledged Loan was underwritten in accordance
with the requirements set forth in Seller's Guide. Any such Pledged
Loan is in conformity with the underwriting standards set forth in the
Seller's Guide, and Borrower has provided Lender with a true and
correct copy of Seller's Guide. There has been no change or amendment
to Seller's Guide since the date of the most recent copy of Seller's
Guide that was delivered to Lender.
Y. The Mortgaged Property is lawfully occupied under
applicable law. All inspections, licenses and certificates required to
be made or issued with respect to all occupied portions of the
Mortgaged Property and, with respect to the use and occupancy of the
same, including but not limited to certificates of occupancy and fire
underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from the
appropriate authorities.
Z. The Mortgage Note is not and has not been secured
by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding Mortgage and the
security interest of any applicable security agreement or chattel
mortgage referred to in (K) above.
AA. In the event the Mortgage constitutes a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such,
has been properly designated and currently so serves and is named in
the Mortgage, and no fees or expenses are or will become payable by
Lender to the trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection
with a trustee's sale after default by the Mortgagor.
BB. Borrower has no knowledge of any circumstances or
conditions with respect to the Mortgage, the Mortgaged Property, the
Mortgagor or the Mortgagor's credit standing that can reasonably be
expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Pledged
Loan as an unacceptable investment, cause the Pledged Loan to become
delinquent or adversely affect the value or marketability of the
Pledged Loan.
CC. The Required Documents and any other documents
required to be delivered under this Agreement have been delivered to
Custodian; provided, however, with respect to any Wet Mortgage Loan,
the related Required Documents shall be delivered in accordance with
the Custodial Agreement.
DD. If the Mortgaged Property is a condominium unit or
a unit in a planned unit development, other than a de minimis planned
unit development, such condominium or planned unit development project
satisfies the requirements set forth in the Seller's Guide and the
representations and warranties with respect to such condominium or
planned unit development have been made and remain true and correct in
all respects.
18
EE. The Assignment of Mortgage is in recordable form
and is acceptable for recording under the laws of the jurisdiction in
which the Mortgaged Property is located and constitutes the legal,
valid and binding assignment of such Mortgage from Borrower.
FF. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for
the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the
Pledged Loan in the event that the Mortgaged Property is sold or
transferred without the prior written consent of the mortgagee
thereunder.
GG. If the Pledged Loan contains provisions pursuant to
which monthly payments of principal and interest are paid or partially
paid with funds deposited in any separate account established by
Borrower, the Mortgagor or anyone on behalf of the Mortgagor, or paid
by any source other than the Mortgagor, such provisions satisfy the
requirements of the Seller's Guide.
HH. Any future advances made prior to the Advance Date
have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by
the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears
a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the
Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly
insured as having first lien or second lien priority by a title
insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee's
consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to FNMA and
FHLMC. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original
principal amount of the Pledged Loan.
II. The Mortgaged Property is undamaged by waste, fire,
earthquake or earth movement, windstorm, flood, tornado or other
casualty so as to affect adversely the value of the Mortgaged Property
as security for the Pledged Loan or the use for which the premises were
intended.
JJ. The origination and collection practices used with
respect to the Pledged Loan have been in accordance with Seller's Guide
and generally accepted servicing practices in the industry, and have
been in all respects legal and proper. With respect to escrow deposits
and escrow payments, all such payments are in the possession of
Borrower or its designated servicer and there exist no deficiencies in
connection therewith for which customary arrangements for repayment
thereof have not been made. No escrow deposits or escrow payments or
other charges or payments due the related Borrower have been
capitalized under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note.
KK. Unless expressly waived by Lender in its sole
discretion, the aggregate principal Dollar amount of outstanding
Advances secured by Wet Mortgage Loans does not at any one time exceed
the lesser of (i) $25 million and (ii) ten percent (10%) of the total
principal Dollar amount of the prior three-month average of outstanding
Advances under this Loan Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower
19
shall have 60 days from the date of the initial non-compliance with
this Section 2.2 KK(ii) to satisfy such percentage limitation
requirement.
Section 2.3 Representations and Warranties Relating to Pledged
MBS. In the case of any Advance secured by Collateral that consists of Pledged
MBS, Borrower represents and warrants to Lender that, as to each Pledged MBS:
A. The information set forth in the related Pledged
MBS Schedule and all other information or data furnished by, or on
behalf of, Borrower to Lender (i) is complete, true and correct in all
material respects, and Borrower acknowledges that Lender has not
verified the accuracy of such information or data; and (ii) is
identical in all material respects to any related statement transmitted
to Custodian for the purpose of Custodian issuing the related Trust
Receipt.
B. Borrower is the sole owner of record and holder of
the Pledged MBS. The Pledged MBS is not assigned or pledged, and
Borrower has good and marketable title thereto, and has full right and
authority to pledge or assign the Pledged MBS to Lender pursuant to
this Agreement free and clear of any encumbrance, equity, participation
interest, lien, pledge, charge, claim or security interest, and subject
to no interest or participation of, or agreement with, any other party,
except with respect to any restrictions or limitations relating to the
pledge or assignment of the Pledged MBS set forth in the documents
providing for the issuance of the Pledged MBS.
C. The documents contained in the Pledged MBS File
and any other documents required to be delivered under this Agreement
have been delivered to Lender or its designee.
D. Unless expressly waived by Lender in its sole
discretion, the aggregate principal Dollar amount of outstanding
Advances secured by Pledged MBS does not at any one time exceed the
lesser of (i) $50 million and (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the total
principal Dollar amount of the prior three-month average of outstanding
Advances under this Loan Agreement; provided, however, that Borrower
shall have 60 days from the date of the initial non-compliance with
this Section 2.3 D(ii) to satisfy such percentage limitation
requirement.
20
ARTICLE III
BORROWING AND REPAYMENTS; NOTE
Section 3.1 Certifications; Advances.

such Advance; (ii) no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing hereunder or will result from the
proposed borrowing; (iii) Borrower has delivered or will cause to be
delivered to Lender all documents required to be delivered to Lender
pursuant to this Agreement; and (iv) Borrower has performed in all
material respects all agreements and satisfied all conditions hereunder
provided to be performed or satisfied by it on or before the date of
such Advance.
B. Advances.
(i) With respect to any Advance to be secured by
Pledged MBS, not later than 5:00 P.M. New York City
time on the date that is five Business Days prior to
the related Advance Date, Borrower may request that
Lender, by notice in the form of a Request for

Mortgage Loans, not later than 5:00 P.M. New York
City time on the date that is one Business Day prior

on the related Advance Date.
(iii) With respect to any Advance to be secured by
Wet Mortgage Loans, not later than 5:00 P.M. New York
City time on the date that is one Business Day prior

21
(iv) Lender may, in its sole discretion, by
confirmation in the form of an Advance Request
Confirmation, agree to make Advances to or for the
account of Borrower in amounts not to exceed in the
aggregate the aggregate Collateral Value of the
related Eligible Assets. If all conditions set forth
in Section 4.1 and 4.2 of this Agreement have been
satisfied, Lender may make an Advance to Borrower by
causing an amount of immediately available funds
equal to the amount of the proposed Advance to be
paid in accordance with Borrower's wire instructions.
Lender will send, via facsimile transmission, a copy
of the Advance Request Confirmation updated to
reflect any such Advance, the applicable Interest
Rate, the Advance Date, the Interest Payment Date(s),
the Interest Determination Date(s) and the Advance
Maturity Date.
(v) Notwithstanding any provision hereof to the
contrary, Borrower may provide Lender with additional
Requests for Advances on any Business Day.
C. Netting of Payments. To the extent that an Advance is made
by Lender to Borrower on an Interest Payment Date or an Advance
Maturity Date, Lender shall calculate the net amount payable and shall
send Borrower a confirmation detailing Lender's calculation and setting
forth the net amount to be received or paid by Borrower, including,
without limitation, amounts payable under the Note. Without limiting
any rights or remedies of Lender hereunder, any interest due and
payable shall be excluded from any netting calculation by Lender
pursuant to this Section 3.1.C; provided, however; that Borrower shall
remit any such interest, in immediately available funds, to Lender not
later than one Business Day after the related Interest Payment Date.
D. Advances Optional. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement to the contrary, the determination to make any Advance
to or for the account of Borrower is subject to the approval of Lender
in its sole discretion. Lender may, in its sole discretion, reject any
Eligible Asset from inclusion as Collateral for an Advance for any
reason.
3.2 Market Value; Margin Maintenance.
A. Market Value. The Market Value of any Eligible Asset shall
be as determined, from time to time, by Lender in its sole discretion
using reasonable business judgment taking into consideration the level
of prevailing interest rates, the financial condition of Borrower, the
characteristics of the related Collateral and general market
conditions; provided, however, that (i) any Wet Mortgage Loan with
respect to which the related Required Documents have not been certified
by the Custodian within the time limitations set forth in the Custodial
Agreement) shall have a Market Value of $0; (ii) any Pledged Loan with
respect to which the related Mortgagor has been delinquent in payment
of principal or interest for more than 60 days shall have a Market
Value of not
22
more than 50% of the then-outstanding principal balance of such Pledged
Loan; (iii) any Pledged Loan with respect to which the related
Mortgagor has been delinquent in payment of principal or interest for
more than 89 days shall have a Market Value of $0; (iv) any Pledged
Loan that has been pledged by Borrower to Lender as Collateral for more
than 210 days shall have a Market Value of $0; (v) any Pledged Loan or
Pledged MBS that does not conform in any material respect to the
representations, warranties and covenants set forth in Sections 2.2 or
2.3, respectively, shall have a Market Value of $0; and (vi) any
Eligible Asset with respect to which Lender's security interest therein
shall become impaired or unenforceable shall have a Market Value of $0.
B. Margin Maintenance. If at any time the aggregate Collateral
Value of all Eligible Assets subject to Advances is less than the total
outstanding amount of such Advances (a "Margin Deficit"), then Lender
may by notice to Borrower delivered not later than 11:00 a.m. (New York
City time) on a Business Day (a "Margin Call") require Borrower to
transfer to Lender cash or additional Collateral in an amount which is
not less than the amount of the Margin Deficit. Any Margin Call made by

C. Delivery to Custodian of Required Documents. With respect
to any Advance secured by Collateral that consists of Pledged Loans,

accordance with Section 3.4 on the Advance Maturity Date the amount of the
Advance outstanding with respect to such Collateral to be so released, or (ii)
from time to time by substituting new Collateral of an equal or greater

release of the security interest in and lien on all or any part of the
Collateral shall be evidenced by the execution and delivery by Lender of
appropriate documentation to evidence such release, including without limitation
Borrower's current form of Repayment and Receipt attached as Exhibit I to the
Custodial Agreement.
5.3 Receipt of Pledged Loan Income and Pledged MBS Income. So
long as no Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, Borrower shall receive and retain for its own account all
principal and interest collected by Borrower from the Pledged Loans (the

by Borrower all such Pledged Loan Income and Pledged MBS Income shall be
released from the security interest and lien of Lender hereunder and shall no
longer constitute Collateral hereunder.
If a Potential Event of Default or an Event of Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Lender may, in its sole discretion, (i) require
that Borrower establish one or more segregated trust accounts, that shall be
maintained for the benefit of Lender with a state or federally chartered
depository institution selected by Lender, into which all Pledged Loan Income
shall be deposited within two (2) Business Days of receipt by Borrower and all
Pledged MBS Income shall be deposited upon distribution, and (ii) terminate
Borrower as the servicer of the Pledged Loans, with or without cause, and in
either case without payment of any termination fee or compensation for such
servicing rights.
5.4 Lender as Attorney-in-Fact. Lender is hereby appointed the
attorney-in-fact of Borrower for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of
this Agreement and taking any action and executing any instruments with respect
to the Collateral hereunder that Lender may deem necessary or advisable to
accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is
irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Lender shall have the right and power during the occurrence and
continuation of an Event to Default (i) to receive, endorse and collect all
checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing any payment on account
of the principal of or interest on any Pledged Loans and any distribution on any
Pledged MBS; and (ii) to execute, in connection with any sale as provided for in
Section 7.1 hereof, any endorsements, assignments or other instruments of
conveyance or transfer with respect to the Collateral.
5.5 Security for Obligations. This Agreement shall create a
continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall (i) remain in full
force and effect until payment in full of all Obligations, (ii) be binding upon
Borrower, its successors and assigns, and (iii) inure to the benefit of Lender
and its successors, transferees and assigns. Upon the payment in full of the
Obligations, Borrower shall be entitled to the return, upon its request and at
its expense, of such of the Collateral as shall not have been sold or otherwise
applied in connection with an Event of Default pursuant to the terms hereof.
5.6 Joint and Several Liability of Borrowers. The Borrowers
agree to be jointly and severally liable for the obligations of each Borrower
hereunder and all representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made by
or on behalf of any Borrower in this Agreement, any Advance Request Confirmation
or any other document, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall
be deemed to have been made by each Borrower, jointly and severally. The joint
and several obligations of each of IMCC, IMCA, IMC LP, IMCI and CWB hereunder
are absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, present and continuing and, with
respect to any Obligation to Lender, is a guaranty of performance of such
Obligation and is in no way conditional or contingent upon the continued
existence of any Borrower and is not and will not be subject to any setoffs by
any Borrower. Any notice or other communication
30
provided to one Borrower pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed to have been
given to all Borrowers and failure to be sent any notice or communication
contemplated hereby shall not relieve a Borrower from its joint and several
liability for the Obligations of any other Borrower hereunder.
31

not avoid the occurrence of an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default if
such action is taken or condition exists.

resolution or otherwise authorizes action to approve any of the
foregoing; or Lender determines in its sole discretion using reasonable
business judgment that there has been, or an event or series of events
have occurred that could reasonably be expected to result in, a
Material Adverse Effect; or
G. Judgments and Attachments. Any money judgment,
writ or warrant of attachment, or similar process involving in any case
an amount in excess of $1 million shall be entered or filed against
Borrower or any of its assets and shall remain undischarged, unvacated,
unbonded or unstayed for a period of fifteen days or in any event later
than five days prior to the date of any proposed sale thereunder; or
H. Dissolution. Any order, judgment or decree shall
be entered against Borrower decreeing the dissolution or splitting up
of Borrower; or
I. Other Defaults. Borrower shall default in the
performance of or compliance with any term contained in this Agreement
other than those referred to above in this Section 7.1; provided,
however, that Lender shall give such Borrower five Business Days notice
before any such default shall become an Event of Default unless
Borrower has failed to promptly notify Lender in accordance with
Section 6.1(vi) hereof;
THEN
(i) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in subsections
38
E or F of Section 7.1 the unpaid principal amount of and accrued
interest on the Note and any fees due hereunder shall automatically
become due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Borrower, and the obligation (if any) of Lender to make any further
Advances shall thereupon terminate.
(ii) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
(other than those described in subsection E or F of Section 7.1) Lender
may, by written notice to Borrower, declare the unpaid principal amount
of and accrued interest on the Note and any fees or any other amounts
due hereunder to be due and payable whereupon the same shall forthwith
become due and payable, without presentment, demand, notice or other
requirements of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by
Borrower, and the obligation of Lender to make any further Advances
shall thereupon terminate.
(iii) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
Lender may do any of the following:
(a) Collect by legal proceedings all interest,
principal payments and other sums payable with respect to any
outstanding Advance.
(b) Foreclose upon or otherwise enforce its security
interest in and Lien on the Collateral pursuant to this Agreement.
(c) Sell the Collateral in one or more lots, at one
or more times, at public or private sales, in an established market
therefor or otherwise, as Lender may elect, at such prices and on such
terms, as to cash or credit, as Lender may deem proper. Any sale may be
made at any place designated by Lender, and Lender shall have the right
to become the purchaser at any such sale which is open to the public
and, to the extent permitted by law, private sales. If notice is given
of the sale of any Collateral, it is agreed that notice shall be
satisfactorily given for all purposes if Lender sends, via facsimile
transmission, a copy of such notice to Borrower not less than one day
prior to such sale. The foregoing notice provisions shall not preclude
Lender's rights to foreclose upon the Collateral in any other manner
permitted under the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of New York;
provided that a sale of the Collateral in accordance with such notice
requirements shall be deemed a disposal of the Collateral in a
commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall have the right in
connection with the Collateral either to sell the same as above
provided, or to foreclose, ▇▇▇ upon, or otherwise seek to enforce the
same in its own name or in the name of Borrower as provided herein.
Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, after an Event
of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender shall have the right
to renew, extend the time of payment of, or otherwise amend,
supplement, settle or compromise, in any manner, any obligations for
the payment of money included in the Collateral, any security therefor
and any other agreements, instruments, claims or chooses in action of
any kind which may be included in the Collateral. Each purchaser at any
sale or other disposition shall hold the Collateral
39
free from any claim or right of whatever kind, including any equity or
right of redemption of Borrower, and Borrower specifically waives (to
the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption, stay or
appraisal which it has or may have under any rule of law or statute now
existing or hereafter adopted.
(d) Take possession of all or any portion of the
Collateral that is not already in the possession of Lender, and
Borrower agrees to assemble and make available, or cause to be made
available, the Collateral to Lender at a convenient location. Lender
may manage and protect the Collateral, do any acts which Lender deems
proper to protect the Collateral as security hereunder, and ▇▇▇ upon
any contract or claim relating to the Collateral and receive any
payments due thereon or any damages thereunder, and apply all sums
received to the payment of the Obligations secured hereby in accordance
with Section 7.2.
(e) Be entitled, without regard to the adequacy of
the security for the Obligations secured hereby, to the appointment of
a receiver by any court having jurisdiction, and without notice, to
take possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate and sell the
Collateral or any portion thereof, collect the payments due with
respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof, and do anything that
Lender is authorized with respect thereto to do.
(f) Grant extensions of time, make any compromise or
settlement it deems desirable with respect to the Collateral, or waive
or release any security interest in Collateral.
(g) Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured
creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(h) Require Borrower to pursue, to the extent
applicable, in its own name but for the benefit of Lender, any one or
more of the remedies described in (a) through (g) above.
(i) All remedies are cumulative. Any failure on the
part of Lender to exercise or any delay in exercising any right
hereunder shall not operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single
or partial exercise by Lender of any right hereunder preclude any other
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
7.2 Application of Proceeds. Any money collected by Lender
pursuant to this Article VII (whether upon voluntary payment, foreclosure or
otherwise) shall be promptly applied as follows unless otherwise required by
provisions of applicable law:
(i) first, to the payment of all reasonable expenses
incurred by Lender under this Agreement and in enforcing its rights and
the rights of Lender hereunder,
40
including all costs and expenses of collection, attorneys' fees, court
costs, and foreclosure expenses;
(ii) next, to the payment of all principal and
interest due and unpaid on any Advance;
(iii) next, to the payment of any other Obligations
owed by Borrower to Lender; and
(iv) next, to Borrower or as a court of competent
jurisdiction may direct.
41
ARTICLE VIII
MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Expenses. Whether or not the transactions contemplated
hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees to pay on demand (i) all the
reasonable costs of furnishing all opinions by counsel for Borrower (including
without limitation any opinions requested by Lender as to any legal matters
arising hereunder), and of Borrower's performance of and compliance with all
agreements and conditions contained herein on its part to be performed or
complied with; (ii) the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel
to Lender in connection with the establishment and administration of this
Agreement, not to exceed $10,000; (iii) all the actual costs and expenses of
creating and perfecting Liens in favor of Lender, pursuant to this Agreement,
including filing and recording fees and expenses; and (iv) after the occurrence
of an Event of Default, all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees and costs of settlement) incurred by Lender in enforcing any Obligations of
or in collecting any payments due from Borrower hereunder and under the Note by
reason of such Event of Default. Attorneys' fees, expenses and disbursements
incurred in enforcing, or on appeal from, a judgment pursuant hereto shall be
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.
8.2 Indemnity by Borrower.
A. Indemnification by Borrower. In addition to the
payment of expenses pursuant to Section 8.1, whether or not the
transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated, Borrower agrees
to indemnify, pay and hold harmless Lender and the officers, directors,
employees and agents of Lender (collectively called the "Indemnitees"),
from and against any and all other liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims, costs, expenses
and disbursements (including, without limitation, the reasonable fees
and disbursements of counsel for such Indemnitees in connection with
any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or
not such Indemnitee shall be designated a party thereto), which may be
imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnitee, as a
result of, or arising in any manner out of, or in any way related to or
by reason of, (i) any of the Advances or on account of any Collateral
pledged hereunder, (ii) the breach of any of Borrower's representations
and warranties or covenants hereunder, or (iii) the exercise by Lender
of any of its rights and remedies (including, without limitation,
foreclosure); provided that Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder
with respect to indemnified liabilities arising from the gross
negligence or willful misconduct of any such Indemnitee. To the extent
that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in
the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it violates any law
or public policy, Borrower shall contribute the maximum portion which
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.
42
B. Claims. If any claim is made, or any action, suit
or proceeding is brought against any Person indemnified pursuant to
this Section 8.2, the Indemnitee shall notify Borrower of such claim or
of the commencement of such action, suit or proceeding, and Borrower
will assume the defense of such action, suit or proceeding, employing
counsel selected by Borrower and reasonably satisfactory to such
Indemnitee and pay the fees and expenses of such counsel; provided,
however, that if counsel to the Indemnitee shall reasonably determine
that, due to conflicts in the liabilities or defenses of Borrower and
Lender, Lender should retain its own counsel, Lender shall have the
right to retain counsel and the reasonable fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be for the account of Borrower.
8.3 Set-Off. Borrower hereby grants to Lender a right of
set-off against the payment of any amounts that may be due and payable to Lender
from Borrower, such right to be upon any and all monies or other property of
Borrower held or received by Lender (or any Affiliate of Lender) or due and
owing from Lender to Borrower or any Affiliate.
8.4 Amendments and Waivers. No amendment, modification,
termination or waiver of any provision of this Agreement or of the Note, or
consent to any departure by Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be effective
without the written concurrence of Lender.
8.5 Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure of Information. Each party
hereto shall treat this Agreement, the Custody Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby as confidential; provided, however, that such confidential
information may be disclosed (a) as required by law or pursuant to generally
accepted accounting procedures; (b) upon the written consent of the party whose
otherwise confidential information would be disclosed; or (c) if such
information was or becomes available to Lender from a third party on a
non-confidential basis.
8.6 Notices. Unless otherwise specifically provided herein,
any notice or other communication herein required or permitted to be given shall
be in writing and may be personally served, telecopied, telexed or sent by
overnight courier and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered in
person, upon receipt of telecopy or telex or two Business Days after deposit
with an overnight courier. For the purposes hereof, the addresses of the parties
hereto shall be as set forth under each party's name on the signature pages
hereof.
8.7 Attorneys' Fees. Subject to Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3, if
any party hereto commences litigation for the interpretation, enforcement,
termination, cancellation or rescission hereof, or for damages for the breach
hereof, the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to its reasonable
attorneys' fees and court and other costs incurred, to be paid by the losing
party as fixed by the court or in a separate action brought for that purpose.
43
8.8 Survival of Warranties and Certain Agreements.
A. Agreement. All covenants, agreements,
representations and warranties made herein shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Agreement, the making of the Advances hereunder
and the execution and delivery of the Note.
B. Termination. Notwithstanding anything in this
Agreement or implied by law to the contrary, the agreements of Borrower
set forth in Sections 8.1, 8.2 and 8.3 shall survive the payment of the
Advances and the Note and the termination of this Agreement.
8.9 Failure or Indulgence Not Waiver; Remedies Cumulative. No
failure or delay on the part of Lender in the exercise of any power, right or
privilege hereunder or under the Note shall impair such power, right or
privilege or be construed to be a waiver of any default or acquiescence therein,
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege
preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or
privilege. All rights and remedies existing under this Agreement or the Note are
cumulative to and not exclusive of, any rights or remedies otherwise available.
8.10 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY
APPLICABLE LAW, BORROWER AND LENDER EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT OF
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY MATTER ARISING HEREUNDER.
8.11 No Joint Venture. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary herein contained, Lender by entering into this Agreement or by taking
any action pursuant hereto, will not be deemed a partner or joint venturer with
Borrower and Borrower agrees to hold Lender harmless from any damages and
expenses resulting from such a construction of the relationship of the parties
hereto or any assertion thereof.
8.12 Lender's Discretion. Whenever pursuant to this Agreement,
Lender exercises any rights given to it to approve or disapprove, or any
arrangement or term is to be satisfactory to Lender, the decision of Lender to
approval or disapprove or to decide whether arrangements or terms are
satisfactory or not satisfactory shall (except as is otherwise specifically
herein provided) be in the sole discretion of Lender and shall be final and
conclusive.
8.13 Severability. In case any provision in or obligation
under this Agreement or the Note shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in
any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining
provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligations in any other
jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
8.14 Headings. Article, section and subsection headings in
this Agreement are
44
included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a
part of this Agreement for any other purpose or be given any substantive effect.
8.15 Applicable Law. This Agreement and the Note shall be
governed by, and shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of
the State of New York.
8.16 Transfers by Lender; Subsequent Holders of Note. Lender
may, in its sole discretion, assign all of its right, title and interest in or
grant a security interest in any Pledged Loan or Pledged MBS pledged by Borrower
hereunder and all rights of Lender under this Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement in respect of such Pledged Loan or Pledged MBS to Assignee, subject
only to an obligation on the part of Assignee to deliver each such Pledged Loan
or Pledged MBS to Lender to permit Lender or its designee to make delivery
thereof to Borrower pursuant to Section 5.4. It is anticipated that such
assignment to Assignee will be made by Lender, and Borrower hereby irrevocably
consents to such assignment. No notice of such assignment shall be given by
Lender to Borrower. Assignment by Lender of Pledged Loans or Pledged MBS as
provided in this Section 8.16 shall not release Lender from its obligations
otherwise under this Agreement.
8.17 No Assignment by Borrower. Borrower's rights, obligations
or any interest therein hereunder may not be assigned without the express
written consent of Lender.
8.18 Counterparts; Effectiveness. This Agreement and any
amendments, waivers, consents, or supplements may be executed in any number of
counterparts, and by different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of
which when so executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same instrument.
8.19 Entire Agreement. This Agreement the Advance Request
Confirmations and the Custodial Agreement contain the entire agreement between
the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede all
prior and contemporaneous agreements between them, oral or written, of any
nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter hereof.
8.20 Additional Borrowers. At the request of Borrowers and
upon the prior written consent of Lender, any affiliate of IMCC may be added as
a "Borrower" under this Agreement by execution and delivery to the Lender of a
Borrower Addition Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit I hereto.

each having its principal place of business at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ (jointly and severally, each a "Borrower" and collectively
"Borrowers"), promise to pay to the order of ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ REAL ESTATE SECURITIES
INC., a Delaware corporation, with its principal office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ("Lender"), at Lender's principal office or

of the unpaid principal amounts of the advances ("Advances") made by Lender to
Borrower and recorded on any of the "Advance Schedules" attached hereto, plus
interest, as provided herein.
As used herein or in the Advance Schedules attached to the

Borrower.
"Business Day" means any day other than (A) a Saturday, Sunday or other

authorized or obligated by law or executive order to be closed, or (B)
any other day on which Lender is closed for business, seven days notice
of which shall be given by Lender to Borrower.
"Interest Determination Date" means, with respect to any Advance, the
date(s) set forth in the related Advance Request Confirmation;
provided, however, that any such date(s) shall be either (i) the
related Advance Date, or (ii) the related Advance Date and thereafter
each successive Interest Payment Date.
"Interest Payment Date" means, with respect to any Advance, the
applicable date(s) set forth in the related Advance Request
Confirmation; provided, however, that the final Interest Payment Date
shall be on the related Advance Maturity Date.
"Interest Period" means, with respect to any Advance, the period from
(and including) an Interest Payment Date to (but excluding) the
immediately succeeding Interest Payment Date; provided, however, that
the first Interest Period of any Advance shall commence
1
on (and include) the related Advance Date and continue until (but
exclude) the first Interest Payment Date.
"Interest Rate" means, with respect to any Advance, the rate at which
such Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal thereof, which

on the related Interest Determination Date.
Borrower shall pay to Lender interest on each Advance from
time to time outstanding at a rate per annum equal to that rate set forth in the
"Interest Rate" column on the applicable Advance Schedule attached hereto (the
"Interest Rate"). Each Advance shall bear interest on the unpaid principal
amount thereof from and including the Advance Date through maturity, whether by
acceleration or otherwise.
With respect to each Advance, Borrower shall pay to Lender (i)
on each Interest Payment Date, in full, the accrued and unpaid interest on such
Advance and (ii) on the date set forth in the "Advance Maturity Date" column of
the applicable Advance Schedule attached hereto (the "Advance Maturity Date"),
in full, the outstanding principal amount of such Advance.
All Advances made by Lender hereunder and all payments made on
account of the principal hereof shall be recorded by Lender on the Advance
Schedules attached to this Note (provided that any failure by Lender to make any
such notation on such Advance Schedules shall not affect the obligations of
Borrower hereunder).
If any amount due hereunder is not paid when due (whether at

period commencing on the due date until such amount is paid in full equal to 300
basis points above the otherwise applicable rate, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, shall be imposed on said amount.
Interest shall be computed for the actual number of days
elapsed on the basis of a 360-day year. In no event shall interest be chargeable
or collectible hereunder in excess of the maximum lawful rate under applicable
law.
Borrower promises to pay the holder hereof all reasonable
costs and expenses of collection of this Note and to pay all reasonable
attorney's fees incurred in such collection or in any suit or action to collect
this Note and any appeal thereof.
The provisions of this Note shall inure to the benefit of
Lender and its successors and assigns and be binding on Borrower and its
successors and assigns. This Note shall in all

respects be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State
of New York, including all matters of construction, performance and validity.
Borrower waives presentment and demand for payment, notice of dishonor, protest
and notice of protest of this Note. No failure or delays by Lender in the
exercise of any power or right under this Note shall operate as a waiver
thereof, and no exercise or waiver of any single power or right, or the partial
exercise thereof, shall affect Lender's rights with respect to any and all other
rights and powers.
Borrower hereby irrevocably consents and submits to the
nonexclusive jurisdiction and venue of any State or Federal Court sitting in New
York County over any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Note or any document or instrument delivered in connection herewith, and
Borrower hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such action or
proceeding may be heard and determined in such State or Federal Court. Borrower
waives any objection to any action or proceeding in any State or Federal Court
sitting in New York County on the basis of forum non conveniens. Borrower hereby
waives the right to trial by jury, rights of set-off and rights to interpose
counterclaims of any nature, except for compulsory counterclaims. Borrower
agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be
conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or
in any other manner provided by law. Borrower further agrees that any action or
proceeding brought against Lender shall be brought only in any State or Federal
Court sitting in New York County. Borrower further agrees that in Lender's
discretion, it may serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law and
may bring any action or proceeding against Borrower or its property in the
courts of any other jurisdiction.
The unenforceability or invalidity of any provision or
provisions of this Note shall not render any other provision or provisions
herein contained unenforceable or invalid.
The Borrowers agree to be jointly and severally liable for the
obligations of each Borrower hereunder and all representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements made by or on behalf of any Borrower in this Note or
any other document, instrument or certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall be
deemed to have been made by each Borrower, jointly and severally. The joint and
several obligations of each of IMCC, IMCA, IMC LP, IMCI and CWB hereunder are
absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, present and continuing and, with respect
to any obligation to Lender, is a guaranty of performance of such obligation and
is in no way conditional or contingent upon the continued existence of any
Borrower and is not and will not be subject to any setoffs by any Borrower. Any
notice or other communication provided to one Borrower pursuant to this
Agreement shall be deemed to have been given to all Borrowers and failure to be
sent any notice or communication contemplated hereby shall not relieve a
Borrower from its joint and several liability for the Obligations of any other
Borrower hereunder.
