interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental
authority charged with the interpretation or administration

specified by the Company. In the event that the payment from an
Investor for the purchase of Pledged Mortgages or Pledged
Securities is less than the outstanding Advances against such
Pledged Mortgages or the Mortgage Loans backing Pledged
Securities, the Lender is authorized to cause the Funding Bank to

searches conducted by the Lender, filing fees, charges for wire
transfers, check processing charges, charges

for security delivery fees, charges for overnight delivery of Collateral

Designated Bank Charges. Miscellaneous Charges are due when incurred,
but shall not be delinquent if paid within 15 days after receipt of an
invoice or an account analysis statement from the Lender.
2.11 INTEREST LIMITATION. All agreements between the Company and
the Lender are hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or
event whatsoever, whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of this
Agreement or the Note or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be
paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance, loaning or retention of the
Advances secured by this Agreement exceed the maximum permissible under
applicable law. If from any circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any
provisions hereof or of the Note, or any other document securing this
Agreement at any time given shall involve transcending the limit of
validity prescribed by law, then, the obligation to be fulfilled shall
automatically be reduced to the limit of such validity, and if from any
circumstances the Lender should ever receive as interest an amount which
would exceed the highest lawful rate of interest, such amount which would
be in excess of interest shall be applied to the reduction of the
principal balance secured by the Note and not to the payment of interest
thereunder. This provision shall control every other provision of all
agreements between the Company and Lender and shall also be binding upon
and available to any subsequent holder of the Note.
2.12 INCREASED COSTS; CAPITAL REQUIREMENTS. In the event any
applicable law, order, regulation or directive issued by any governmental
or monetary authority, or any change therein or in the governmental or
judicial interpretation or application thereof, or compliance by the
Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of
law) by any governmental or monetary authority:
2.12(a) Does or shall subject the Lender to any tax of any
kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Advances
made hereunder, or change the basis of taxation on payments to the
Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder (except for change in the rate of tax on the overall
gross or net income of the Lender by the jurisdiction in which the
Lender's principal office is located);
2.12(b) Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable
any reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan
or similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or
other liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by,
or other
21
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any
office of the Lender which are not otherwise included in the
determination of the interest rate as calculated hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Lender of making, renewing or maintaining any Advance or to reduce any
amount receivable in respect thereof or to reduce the rate of return on
the capital of the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender as it
relates to credit facilities in the nature of that evidenced by this
Agreement, then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly pay any
additional amounts necessary to compensate the Lender for such additional
cost or reduced amounts receivable or reduced rate of return as
determined by the Lender with respect to this Agreement or Advances made
hereunder. If the Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional
amounts pursuant to this Section, it shall notify the Company of the
event by reason of which it has become so entitled and the Company shall
pay such amount within 15 days thereafter. A certificate as to any
additional amount payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence containing
the calculation thereof in reasonable detail submitted by the Lender to
the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
obligations of the Company under this Section shall survive the payment
of all other Obligations and the termination of this Agreement.

8.1(m) The Company or the Guarantor shall purport to
disavow its obligations hereunder or under the Guaranty, as the
case may be, or shall contest the validity or enforceability
hereof or of the Guaranty; or the Lender's security interest on
any portion of the Collateral shall become unenforceable or

in the ability of the Company to repay the Obligations; PROVIDED,

8.2 REMEDIES.
8.2(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default
described in Sections 8.1(f) or 8.1(g), the Commitment shall be
terminated and the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest
on the Note and all other Obligations shall automatically become
due and payable, without presentment, demand or other requirements
of any kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by the
Company.
8.2(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, other
than those described in Sections 8.1(f) and 8.1(g), the Lender
may, by Notice to the Company, terminate the Commitment and/or
declare all Obligations to be immediately due and payable,
whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable,
together with all accrued interest thereon, and the obligation of
the Lender to make any Advances shall thereupon terminate.
8.2(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the
Lender may also do any of the following:
(1) Foreclose upon or otherwise enforce its
security interest in and Lien on the Collateral to
52
secure all payments and performance of the Obligations in
any manner permitted by law or provided for hereunder.
(2) Notify all obligors in respect of Collateral
that the Collateral has been assigned to the Lender and
that all payments thereon are to be made directly to the
Lender or such other party as may be designated by the
Lender; settle, compromise, or release, in whole or in
part, any amounts owing on the Collateral, any such obligor
or any Investor or any portion of the Collateral, on terms
acceptable to the Lender; enforce payment and prosecute any
action or proceeding with respect to any and all
Collateral; and where any such Collateral is in default,
foreclose on and enforce security interests in such
Collateral by any available judicial procedure or without
judicial process and sell property acquired as a result of
any such foreclosure.
(3) Act, or contract with a third party to act,
as servicer or subservicer of each item of Collateral
requiring servicing and perform all obligations required in
connection with Servicing Contracts and Purchase
Commitments, such third party's fees to be paid by the
Company.
(4) Require the Company to assemble the
Collateral and/or books and records relating thereto and
make such available to the Lender at a place to be
designated by the Lender.
(5) Enter onto property where any Collateral or
books and records relating thereto are located and take
possession thereof with or without judicial process; and
obtain access to the Company's data processing equipment,
computer hardware and software relating to the Collateral
and to use all of the foregoing and the information
contained therein in any manner the Lender deems necessary
for the purpose of effectuating its rights under this
Agreement and any other Loan Document.
(6) Prior to the disposition of the Collateral,
prepare it for disposition in any manner and to the extent
the Lender deems appropriate.
(7) Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured
creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code of Minnesota or
other applicable law, including,
53
but not limited to, selling or otherwise disposing of the
Collateral, or any part thereof, at one or more public or
private sales, whether or not such Collateral is present at
the place of sale, for cash or credit or future delivery,
on such terms and in such manner as the Lender may
determine, including, without limitation, sale pursuant to
any applicable Purchase Commitment. If notice is required
under such applicable law, the Lender will give the Company
not less than 10 days' notice of any such public sale or of
the date after which any private sale may be held. The
Company agrees that 10 days' notice shall be reasonable
notice. The Lender may, without notice or publication,
adjourn any public or private sale or cause the same to be
adjourned from time to time by announcement at the time and
place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any
time or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In
case of any sale of all or any part of the Collateral on
credit or for future delivery, the Collateral so sold may
be retained by the Lender until the selling price is paid
by the purchaser thereof, but the Lender shall not incur
any liability in case of the failure of such purchaser to
take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of
any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon
like notice. The Lender may, however, instead of
exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it,
proceed by a suit or suits at law or in equity to collect
all amounts due upon the Collateral or to foreclose the
pledge of and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof
under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of
competent jurisdiction, or both.
(8) Proceed against the Company on the Note or
against the Guarantor under the Guaranty or both.
8.2(d) The Lender shall incur no liability as a result of
the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at any public or private sale or disposition. The
Company hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims
it may have against the Lender arising by reason of the fact that
the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at such
private sale was less than the price which might have been
obtained at a public sale or was less than the aggregate amount of
the outstanding Advances and the unpaid interest accrued thereon,
even if the Lender accepts the first offer received and does not
offer the Collateral to more than one offeree. Any sale of
Collateral pursuant to the terms of a Purchase
54
Commitment, or any other disposition of Collateral arranged by the
Company, whether before or after the occurrence of an Event of
Default, shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially
reasonable manner.
8.2(e) The Company acknowledges that Mortgage Loans and
Mortgage-backed Securities are collateral of a type which is
customarily sold on a recognized market. The Company waives any
right it may have to prior notice of the sale of any Pledged
Mortgage or Pledged Security, and agrees that the Lender may
purchase any Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities at a private
sale of such Collateral.
8.2(f) The Company specifically waives and releases (to
the extent permitted by law) any equity or right of redemption,
all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which the Company has
or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter adopted, and any right to require the Lender to (1)
proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any of
the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies as against the
Collateral in any particular order, or (3) pursue any other remedy
in its power. The Lender shall not be required to take any steps
necessary to preserve any rights of the Company against holders of
mortgages prior in lien to the Lien of any Mortgage included in
the Collateral or to preserve rights against prior parties.
8.2(g) The Lender may, but shall not be obligated to,
advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold and
enforce the Lien and priority of, or the security intended to be
afforded by, any Mortgage included in the Collateral, including,
without limitation, payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and
insurance premiums. All advances, charges, costs and expenses,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements, incurred
or paid by the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy
conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof,
together with interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time
of payment until repaid, shall become a part of the principal
balance outstanding hereunder and under the Note.
55
8.2(h) No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise,
and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy provided
hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise by the Lender of any
right, power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity
preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right, power or remedy. Without intending to limit the
foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are
hereby waived by the Company to the extent permitted by law. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any remedies provided at law or in equity.
8.2(i) The Lender is hereby granted a license or other
right to use, without charge, the Company's computer programs,
other programs, labels, patents, copyrights, rights of use of any
name, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks and
advertising matter, or any property of a similar nature, as it
pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling
any Collateral, and the Company's rights under all licenses and
all other agreements related to the foregoing shall inure to the
Lender's benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.
8.2(j) The Company acknowledges that the Company and the
Lender have entered into, and may from time to time hereafter
enter into, agreements ("Acknowledgment Agreements") with ▇▇▇▇▇▇
Mae, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or any other Investor in order to obtain the
consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac or any other Investor to the
assignment of and security interest granted in the Servicing
Contracts pursuant to Section 3 hereof, as the same may be amended
from time to time. The Company further acknowledges that the
Acknowledgment Agreements may contain certain provisions
concerning the enforcement by the Lender of the security interest
of the Secured Parties in the Servicing Contracts subject thereto.
The Company agrees that the disposition of its rights in any
Servicing Contract pursuant to the terms of the applicable
Acknowledgment Agreement shall be deemed commercially reasonable
within the meaning of Section 9-504(3) of the Uniform Commercial
Code of Minnesota. The Company hereby waives any claims it might
otherwise have against the Lender as a result of the Lender's
compliance with the terms of any Acknowledgment Agreement.
8.3 APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. The proceeds of any sale,
disposition or other enforcement of the Lender's security interest in all
or any part of the Collateral shall be applied by the Lender to the
Obligations in such order as the Lender, in its sole and absolute
discretion, shall determine from and
56
after the indefensible payment to the Lender of all of the Obligations,
any remaining proceeds shall be paid:
FIRST, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or
enforcement, including reasonable compensation to the Lender's agents and
counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by
or on behalf of the Lender in connection therewith;
SECOND, to the payment of the Obligations in such order as the
Lender, in its sole discretion, determines; and
FINALLY, to the payment to the Company, or to its successors or
assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct, of any
surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
If the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of the sale, and the payment
in full of all Obligations, the Company will remain liable for any
deficiency.
8.4 LENDER APPOINTED ATTORNEY-IN-FACT. The Lender is hereby
appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Company, with full power of
substitution, for the purpose of carrying out the provisions hereof and
taking any action and executing any instruments which the 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, the Lender
shall have the right and power to give notices of its security interest
in the Collateral to any Person, either in the name of the Company or in
its own name, to endorse all Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities
payable to the order of the Company, to change or cause to be changed the
book-entry registration or name of subscriber or Investor on any Pledged
Security, or to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to
the order of the Company representing any payment on account of the
principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the
Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities and to give full discharge for
the same.
8.5 RIGHT OF SET-OFF. If the Company shall default in the
payment of the Note, any interest accrued thereon, or any other sums
which may become payable hereunder when due, or in the performance of any
of its other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, the Lender
shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without notice,
to set-off and to appropriate or apply any and all property or
indebtedness of any kind at any time held or owing by the Lender to or
for the credit or the account of the Company against and on account of
the Obligations of the Company under the Note and this Agreement,
irrespective of whether or not the Lender shall have made any demand
hereunder and whether or not said
57
Obligations shall have matured.
9. NOTICES.
All notices, demands, consents, requests and other communications
required or permitted to be given or made hereunder (collectively, "Notices")
shall, except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, be in writing and shall
be delivered in person or telecopied or mailed, first class or delivered by

10. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.
The Company shall: (a) pay a documentation production fee of $5,000 in
connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement; (b) pay such
additional documentation production fees as the Lender may require and all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees, service charges and disbursements of counsel (including
allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with the amendment,
enforcement and administration of this Agreement, the Note, and other Loan
Documents and the making and repayment of the Advances and the payment of
interest thereon; (c) indemnify, pay, and hold harmless the Lender and any
holder of the Note from and against, any and all present and future stamp,
documentary and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and
save the Lender and the holder or holders of the Note harmless from and against
any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission
to pay such taxes; and (d) indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Lender and any
of its officers, directors, employees or agents and any subsequent holder of the
Note (collectively called the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all
liabilities,
58
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, expenses and
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without limitation,
the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel of the Indemnitees (including
allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with any investigative,
administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such Indemnitees shall be
designated a party thereto) which may be imposed upon, incurred by or asserted
against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or arising out of this
Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan Document or any of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby (the "Indemnified Liabilities"); provided,
however, that the Company shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to
Indemnified Liabilities arising from the ▇▇▇▇ negligence or willful misconduct
of any such Indemnitees. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay
and hold harmless as set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable
because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company 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. The agreement of the Company
contained in this Subsection (d) shall survive the expiration or termination of
this Agreement and the payment in full of the Note. Attorneys' fees 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.
11. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
All financial statements and reports furnished to the Lender hereunder
shall be prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with
that applied in preparing the financial statements as at the end of and for the
last fiscal year ended (except to the extent otherwise required to conform to
good accounting practice).
12. MISCELLANEOUS.
12.1 TERMS BINDING UPON SUCCESSORS; SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS.
The terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective
successors and assigns. All representations, warranties, covenants and
agreements herein contained on the part of the Company shall survive the
making of any Advance and the execution of the Note, and shall be
effective so long as the Commitment is outstanding or there remain any
Obligations to be paid or performed.
12.2 ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement cannot be assigned by the
Company. This Agreement and the Note, along with the Lender's security
interest in any or all of the Collateral,
59
may, at any time, be transferred or assigned, in whole or in part, by the
Lender, and any assignee thereof may enforce this Agreement, the Note and
its security interest in the Collateral so assigned.
12.3 AMENDMENTS. Except as otherwise provided in this
Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented
unless such amendment, modification or supplement is set forth in a
writing signed by the parties hereto.
12.4 GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents
shall be governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without
reference to its principles of conflicts of laws.
12.5 PARTICIPATIONS. The Lender may at any time sell, assign or
grant participations in, or otherwise transfer to any other Person (a
"Participant"), all or part of the Obligations. Without limitation of
the exclusive right of the Lender to collect and enforce such
Obligations, the Company agrees that each disposition will give rise to a
debtor-creditor relationship of the Company to the Participant, and the
Company authorizes each Participant, upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, to proceed directly by right of setoff, banker's lien, or
otherwise, against any assets of the Company which may be in the hands of
such Participant. The Company authorizes the Lender to disclose to any
prospective Participant and any Participant any and all information in
the Lender's possession concerning the Company, this Agreement and the
Collateral.
12.6 RELATIONSHIP OF THE PARTIES. This Agreement provides for
the making of Advances by the Lender, in its capacity as a lender, to the
Company, in its capacity as a borrower, and for the payment of interest,
repayment of principal by the Company to the Lender, and for the payment
of certain fees by the Company to the Lender. The relationship between
the Lender and the Company is limited to that of creditor/secured party,
on the one hand, and debtor, on the other hand. The provisions herein
for compliance with financial covenants and delivery of financial
statements are intended solely for the benefit of the Lender to protect
its interests as lender in assuring payments of interest and repayment of
principal and payment of certain fees, and nothing contained in this
Agreement shall be construed as permitting or obligating the Lender to
act as a financial or business advisor or consultant to the Company, as
permitting or obligating the Lender to control the Company or to conduct
the Company's operations, as creating any fiduciary obligation on the
part of the Lender to the Company, or as creating any joint venture,
agency, or other relationship between the parties hereto other than as
explicitly and specifically stated in this Agreement. The Company
acknowledges that it
60
has had the opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of
its own choosing in connection with the negotiation and execution of this
Agreement and to obtain the advice of such counsel with respect to all
matters contained herein. The Company further acknowledges that it is
experienced with respect to financial and credit matters and has made its
own independent decisions to apply to the Lender for credit and to
execute and deliver this Agreement.
12.7 SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
declared to be illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such illegal or
unenforceable provision shall be and become absolutely null and void and
of no force and effect as though such provision were not in fact set
forth herein, but all other covenants, terms, conditions and provisions
hereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable.
12.8 OPERATIONAL REVIEWS. From time to time upon request, the
Company shall permit the Lender or its representative access to its
premises and records, for the purpose of conducting a review of the
Company's general mortgage business methods, policies, and procedures,
auditing loan files and reviewing financial and operational aspects of
the Company's business.
12.9 CONSENT TO CREDIT REFERENCES. The Company hereby consents to
the disclosure of information regarding the Company and its relationships
with the Lender to Persons making credit inquiries to the Lender. This
consent is revocable by the Company at any time upon Notice to the Lender
as provided in Section 0 hereof.
12.10 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION. The Company hereby agrees that any
action or proceeding under the Loan Documents, the Note or any document
delivered pursuant hereto may be commenced against it in any court of
competent jurisdiction within the State of Minnesota, by service of
process upon the Company by first class registered or certified mail,
return receipt requested, addressed to the Company at its address last
known to the Lender. The Company agrees that any such suit, action or
proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other such
document may be instituted in the Hennepin County State District Court or
in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota at the
option of the Lender; and the Company hereby waives any objection to the
jurisdiction or venue of any such court with respect to, or the
convenience of any court as a forum for, any such suit, action or
proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Lender to
accomplish service of process in any other manner permitted by law or to
commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Company in
any other jurisdiction or court.
61
12.11 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
12.12 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, the Note and the other
Loan Documents represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and
thereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may
not be contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous oral
agreements among such parties. There are no oral agreements among the
parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
12.13 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY AND THE LENDER EACH
HEREBY (a) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE
TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY, AND (b) FULLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY
JURY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT NOW EXISTS OR HEREAFTER ARISES.
THE LENDER AND THE COMPANY EACH GIVES THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL
KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS
SEPARATELY GIVEN, KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY, BY THE COMPANY AND THE
LENDER, AND THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH
INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE FOR WHICH THE RIGHT OF A JURY TRIAL WOULD
OTHERWISE ACCRUE. THE LENDER AND THE COMPANY ARE EACH HEREBY AUTHORIZED
AND REQUESTED TO SUBMIT THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION
OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER AND THE PARTIES HERETO, SO AS TO SERVE AS
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. FURTHER,
THE COMPANY AND THE LENDER EACH HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE
OR AGENT OF THE OTHER PARTY, INCLUDING THE OTHER PARTY'S COUNSEL, HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO ANY OF ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR
AGENTS THAT THE OTHER PARTY WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT
TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be

EXHIBIT B
GUARANTY
THIS GUARANTY, made and entered into as of this 30th day of June 1999, by
▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Guarantor"), to RESIDENTIAL
FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Lender"), having its principal
office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇.
RECITALS
A. MONUMENT MORTGAGE, INC., a California corporation (the "Company")
and the Lender have agreed that the Lender will extend a warehouse
line of credit to the Company in the principal amount of
$75,000,000 (the "Loan") to finance the making and purchasing of
Mortgage Loans.
B. The Loan is evidenced by a Warehousing Promissory Note dated of
even date herewith from the Company to the Lender, as the same may
be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time,
including any other instruments executed and delivered in renewal,
extension, rearrangement or otherwise in replacement of such
Promissory Note (the "Note") and by a First Amended and Restated
Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement of even date herewith,
as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified
from time to time, including any other instruments executed and
delivered in renewal, extension, rearrangement or otherwise in
replacement of such agreement (the "Agreement").
C. The Guarantor is the sole shareholder of the Company and will
derive benefit from the Loan.
D. As a condition to making the Loan, the Lender has required that
the Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty. In order to
induce the Lender to make Advances under the Agreement, to accept
the Notes and the Agreement, the Guarantor has agreed to give this
Guaranty.
E. The Lender has refused to make Advances under the Agreement unless
this Guaranty is executed by the Guarantor and delivered to
Lender.
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of
1
which is hereby acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the
Lender as follows:
1. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
2. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely
guarantees to the Lender the due and prompt payment, and not just the
collectibility, of the principal of, and interest, fees and late charges and all
other indebtedness, if any, on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise all at the times and places and at the rates described
in, and otherwise according to the terms of the Notes and the Agreement, whether
now existing or hereafter created or arising.
3. The Guarantor further hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and
absolutely guarantees to the Lender the due and prompt performance by the
Company of all duties, agreements and obligations of the Company contained in
the Notes and the Agreement, and the due and prompt payment of all costs and
expenses incurred, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs
and all other litigation expenses (including but not limited to expert witness
fees, exhibit preparation, and courier, postage, communication and document
copying expenses), in enforcing the payment and performance of the Notes and the
Agreement and this Guaranty (the payment and performance of the items set forth
in Paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Guaranty are collectively referred to as the
"Guaranteed Debt").
4. In the event the Company shall at any time fail to pay the Lender
any principal of or interest on or other sums constituting any Guaranteed Debt
when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the Guarantor promises to pay
such amount to the Lender forthwith, together with all collection costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and all
other litigation expenses (including but not limited to expert witness fees,
exhibit preparation, and courier, postage, communication and document copying
expenses). Any sum required to be paid by the Guarantor to the Lender pursuant
to this Guaranty shall bear interest from the date such sum becomes due until
paid at a per annum rate equal to the Default Rate.
5. The Guarantor hereby authorizes the Lender, following the
occurrence of an Event of Default, without notice or demand, to apply any
property, balances, credits, accounts or moneys of the Guarantor then in the
possession of Lender, or standing to the credit of the Guarantor, to the payment
of such Guaranteed Debt.
6. The Guarantor does hereby (a) agree to any modifications of any
terms or conditions of any Guaranteed Debt
2
and/or to any extensions or renewals of time of payment or performance by the
Company; (b) that it shall not be necessary for the Lender to resort to legal
remedies against the Company before proceeding hereunder, nor to take any action
against any other Person obligated (an "Obligor") for payment or performance of
the Guaranteed Debt or against any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt before
proceeding against the Guarantor; (c) agree that no release of the Company or
any other guarantor or Obligor, and no release, exchange or nonperfection of any
collateral for the Guaranteed Debt, whether by operation of law or by any act or
failure to act by the Lender, with or without notice to the Guarantor, shall
release the Guarantor; (d) waive presentment, demand, notice of demand,
dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest and any other
notice with respect to any Guaranteed Debt and this Guaranty, and promptness in
commencing suit against any party thereto or liable thereon and/or in giving any
notice to or making any claim or demand hereunder upon the Guarantor; (e) waive
any defense arising by reason of any disability or other defense of the Company
for payment of the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof or by reason of the
cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the Company therefor
other than full payment of the Guaranteed Debt; or (f) waive, to the extent
permitted by law, all benefit of valuation, appraisement, and exemptions under
the laws of the State of Minnesota or any other state or territory of the United
States.
7. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be primary,
absolute and unconditional, and shall remain in full force and effect without
regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by: (a) the genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of, or any amendment or change in the
Agreement or the Notes, or any change in or extension of the manner, place or
terms of payment of, all or any portion of the Guaranteed Debt; (b) the taking
or failure to take any action to enforce the Agreement or the Notes, or the
exercise or failure to exercise any remedy, power or privilege contained therein
or available at law or otherwise, or the waiver by the Lender of any provisions
of the Agreement or the Notes; (c) any impairment, modification, change, release
or limitation in any manner of the liability of the Company or its estate in
bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the Company's liability,
resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of the
bankruptcy laws or any other statute or regulation, or the dissolution,
bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization of the Company; (d) the merger or
consolidation of the Company, or any sale or transfer by the Company of all or
part of its assets or property; (e) any claim the Guarantor may have against
any other Obligor, including any claim of contribution; (f) the release, in
whole or in part, of any other guarantor (if more than one), the Company or any
other Obligor; (g) any settlement or compromise with any Obligor with respect to
any Guaranteed Debt and/or the subordination of the payment of the Guaranteed
Debt or any part thereof to the
3
payment of any other debts or claims which may at any time be due and owing to
the Lender and/or any other Person; or (h) any other action or circumstance
which (with or without notice to or knowledge of the Guarantor) may or might in
any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the Guarantor hereunder or
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense, it being
understood and agreed bythe Guarantor that the obligations under this Guaranty
shall not be discharged except by the full payment and performance of the
Guaranteed Debt.
8. The Lender shall have the right to determine how, when and what
application of payments and credits, if any, whether derived from the Company or
from any other source, shall be made on the Guaranteed Debt and any other
indebtedness owed by the Company and/or any other Obligor to the Lender. The
Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the
Guarantor or in payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt.
9. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall continue to be
effective, or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
the performance or the payment, as the case may be, in whole or in part, of any
of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by
the Lender (as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise) upon the
insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the
Company, the Guarantor or any other person or upon or as a result of the
appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar
powers with respect to the Company, the Guarantor or any other person, or any
substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as though such payments had
not been made. If an Event of Default shall at any time have occurred and be
continuing or shall exist and declaration of default or acceleration under or
with respect to this Guaranty or any Guaranteed Debt shall at such time be
prevented by reason of the pendency against the Guarantor or the Company or any
other Person of a case or proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, the
Guarantor agrees that, for purposes of this Guaranty and its obligations
hereunder, this Guaranty and such obligations shall be deemed to have been
declared in default or accelerated with the same effect as if this Guaranty and
such obligations had been declared in default and accelerated in accordance with
their respective terms and the Guarantor shall forthwith perform or pay, as the
case may be, as required hereunder in accordance with the terms hereunder
without further notice or demand.
10. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights
that the Guarantor may now or hereafter acquire against the Company that arises
from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of the Guarantor's
obligations hereunder, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnification, any right to participate in any
claim or remedy of the Lender against the
4
Company or any collateral that the Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether
or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute
or common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company directly
or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment
or security on account of such claim or other rights. If any amount shall be
paid to the Guarantor in violation of the preceding sentence and the Guaranteed
Debt shall not have been paid and performed in full, such amount shall be deemed
to have been paid to the Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for,
the Lender and shall forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied
to the Guaranteed Debt, whether matured or unmatured. Notwithstanding the
blanket waiver of subrogation rights as set forth above, the Guarantor hereby
specifically acknowledges that any subrogation rights which the Guarantor may
have against the Company or any collateral that the Lender now has or hereafter
acquires may be destroyed by a nonjudicial foreclosure of the collateral.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Guarantor waives all rights and defenses
arising out of an election of remedies by the Lender, even though that election
of remedies, such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with respect to security for any
Guaranteed Debt, has destroyed the Guarantor's rights of subrogation and
reimbursement against the Company by the operation of Section 580d of the
California Code of Civil Procedure or otherwise. The Guarantor acknowledges
that the Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the
arrangements contemplated by the Agreement and the Notes and that the waivers
set forth in this Section are knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits.
11. The Guarantor waives any and all rights, benefits and defenses
available to sureties and creditors which might otherwise be available to the
Guarantor under Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California
Civil Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, and the benefit of any
statute of limitations affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder or the
enforcement hereof, including, without limitation any rights arising under
Section 359.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Additionally, the
Guarantor waives the right to require the Lender to comply with the provisions
of Section 9504 of the California Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from
time to time. The Guarantor also waives all rights and defenses that the
Guarantor may have because any Guaranteed Debt is secured by real property.
This means, among other things: (1) the Lender may collect from the Guarantor
without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral pledged by
the Company or any other Obligor; (2) if the Lender forecloses on any real
property collateral pledged by the Company or any other Obligor: (a) the amount
of the Guaranteed Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price; and (b) the Lender may collect from the Guarantor even if
the Lender, by foreclosing
5
on the real property collateral, has destroyed any right the Guarantor may have
to collect from the Company. This is an unconditional and irrevocable waiver of
any rights and defenses the Guarantor may have because the Guaranteed Debt is
secured by real property. These rights and defenses include, but are not
limited to, any rights or defenses based upon Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726
of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
12. No postponement or delay on the part of the Lender in the
enforcement of any right hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such right and
all rights of the Lender hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative and
shall be in addition to any other rights granted to the Lender in any other
agreement or by law.
13. If any provision hereof shall be or shall be declared to be
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such illegal or unenforceable provision
shall be and become absolutely null and void and of no force and effect as
though such provision were not in fact set forth herein, but all other
covenants, terms, conditions and provisions hereof shall nevertheless continue
to be valid and enforceable and this Guaranty shall be so construed.
14. This Guaranty shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of Minnesota, other than its principles of conflicts of law, and shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives,
successors and assigns.
15. The Guarantor hereby agrees that any action or proceeding under
this Guaranty may be commenced against the Guarantor in any court of competent
jurisdiction within the State of Minnesota, by service of process upon the
Guarantor by first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to the Guarantor at the Guarantor's address last known to the Lender.
The Guarantor agrees that any such suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guaranty may be instituted in the District Court of Hennepin
County, Minnesota or in the United States District Court for the District of
Minnesota, at the option of the Lender; and the Guarantor hereby waives any
objection to the jurisdiction or venue of any such court with respect to, or the
convenience of any such court as a forum for, any such suit, action or
proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Lender to accomplish
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Guarantor in any other jurisdiction
or court.
16. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Lender as
follows:
6
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Guarantor is a corporation
duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation. The Guarantor is duly
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and in good
standing in all jurisdictions in which the ownership of its
properties or the nature of its activities, or both, makes such
qualification necessary.
(b) Authority and Authorization. The Guarantor has full corporate
power and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the
provisions of this Guaranty and to perform its obligations
hereunder, and all such action has been duly and validly
authorized by all necessary corporate proceedings on its part.
(c) Financial Statements. All financial statements and data which
have heretofore been given to the Lender with respect to the
Guarantor fairly and accurately represent the financial condition
of the Guarantor as of the date hereof, and, since the date
thereof, there has been no material adverse change in the
financial condition of the Guarantor. The Guarantor shall
promptly deliver to the Lender, or to the Company in time for the
Company to deliver the same to the Lender, all financial
statements and tax returns of the Guarantor required by the
Agreement.
(d) Address. The address of the Guarantor as specified below is true
and correct and until the Lender shall have actually received a
written notice specifying a change of address and specifically
requesting that notices be issued to such changed address, the
Lender may rely on the address stated as being accurate.
(e) No Default. The Guarantor is not in default with respect to any
order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court or other
governmental authority, in the payment of any material debt for
borrowed money or under any material agreement evidencing or
securing any such debt.
(f) Solvent. The Guarantor is now solvent, and no bankruptcy or
insolvency proceedings are pending or to the best of the
Guarantor's knowledge contemplated by or against the Guarantor.
(g) Relationship to the Company. The value of the consideration
received and to be received by the Guarantor is reasonably worth
at least as much as the liability and obligation of the Guarantor
incurred or arising under this Guaranty. The Guarantor has had
7
full and complete access to the Agreement and the Notes and all
other loan documents relating to the Obligations and the
Guaranteed Debt, has reviewed them and is fully aware of the
meaning and effect of their contents. The Guarantor is fully
informed of all circumstances which bear upon the risks of
executing this Guaranty and which a diligent inquiry would reveal.
The Guarantor has adequate means to obtain from the Company on a
continuing basis information concerning the Company's financial
condition, and is not depending on the Lender to provide such
information, now or in the future. The Guarantor agrees that the
Lender shall not have any obligation to advise or notify the
Guarantor or to provide the Guarantor with any data or
information. The execution and delivery of this Guaranty is not
given in consideration of (and the Lender has not in any way
implied that the execution of this Guaranty is given in
consideration of) the Lender's making, extending or modifying any
loan to the Guarantor or to any other financial accommodation to
or for the Guarantor.
(h) Litigation. There is not now pending against or affecting the
Guarantor, nor to the knowledge of the Guarantor is there
threatened, any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or
by or before any administrative agency that, if adversely
determined, would materially impair or affect the financial
condition of the Guarantor.
(i) Taxes. The Guarantor has filed all federal, state, provincial,
county, municipal and other income tax returns required to have
been filed by the Guarantor and has paid all taxes that have
become due pursuant to such returns or pursuant to any assessments
received by the Guarantor, and the Guarantor does not know of any
basis for any material additional assessment against it in respect
of such taxes.
17. Neither the death nor the release of any person or party to this
Guaranty or any other guaranties of the Agreement and the Notes shall affect or
release the liability of the Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall be in addition to any obligations of the Guarantor under any
other guaranties of the Guaranteed Debt and/or any obligations of the Company or
any other Persons heretofore given or hereafter to be given to the Lender, and
this Guaranty shall not affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. The
liability of the Guarantor to the Lender shall at all times be deemed to be the
aggregate liability of the Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty and of any
other guaranties heretofore or hereafter given by the Guarantor to the Lender.
8
18. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor
consent to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then
such waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Guarantor
shall in any case entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.
19. All notices that may be required or otherwise provided for or
contemplated under the terms of this Guaranty for any party to serve upon or
give to any other shall, whether or not so state, be in writing, and if not so
in writing shall not be deemed to have been given, and be either personally
served, sent by reputable overnight courier service, or sent with return receipt
requested by registered or certified mail with postage (including registration
or certification charges) prepaid, sent to the following address:
(a) If to the Guarantor, addressed to the address indicated
immediately following the Guarantor's signature;
(b) If to the Lender, addressed to the Lender at its address at
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,
Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Director.
Such addresses may be changed from time to time by written notice to the other
parties given in the same manner. Any matter so served upon or sent to the
Guarantor or the Lender in the manner aforesaid shall be deemed sufficiently
given for all purposes hereunder (i) upon personal delivery, if personally
delivered, (ii) on the date following delivery to the courier service, if sent
by courier service, (iii) upon electronic confirmation of receipt, if sent by
facsimile, and (iv) on the date of receipt as noted on the return receipt, if
sent by registered or certified mail, except that notices of changes of address
shall not be effective until actual receipt.
20. Any indebtedness of the Company now or hereafter held by the
Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Company to the
Lender, and such indebtedness of the Company to the Guarantor shall, if the
Lender so requests, be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor as
trustee for the Lender and be paid over to the Lender on account of the
indebtedness of the Company to the Lender, but without reducing or limiting in
any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of the
Guaranty. The Guarantor acknowledges that, with respect to the indebtedness
guaranteed hereunder, the Guarantor has irrevocably waived all rights to
subrogation, reimbursement, and/or indemnification against the Company.
9
21. This Guaranty is intended as a final expression of this agreement
of guaranty and is intended also as a complete and exclusive statement of the
terms of this agreement. No agreement or understanding entered into prior to
the date hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be binding upon
the Guarantor unless expressed herein. No course of prior dealings between the
Guarantor and the Lender, no usage of the trade, and no parole or extrinsic
evidence of any nature, shall be used or be relevant to supplement, explain,
contradict or modify the terms and/or provisions of this Guaranty.
22. Time is of the essence hereof.
23. THE GUARANTOR, BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY HEREOF, AND THE
LENDER, BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY (i) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A
TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY, AND (ii) WAIVES ANY RIGHT
TO TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER
EXIST. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN, KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY, BY THE GUARANTOR AND BY THE LENDER, AND THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO
ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT OF A
JURY TRIAL WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. THE LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND
REQUESTED TO SUBMIT THIS WAIVER TO ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE
SUBJECT MATTER AND THE PARTIES HERETO, SO AS TO SERVE AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF
THE FOREGOING WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. FURTHER, THE GUARANTOR HEREBY
CERTIFIES THAT NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE LENDER, INCLUDING THE LENDER'S
COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO THE GUARANTOR OR ITS
REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS THAT THE LENDER WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER
OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has executed this Guaranty with the
intent to be legally bound as of the date first above written.

SUBORDINATION OF DEBT AGREEMENT
_______________, 19____
To: Residential Funding Corporation
▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
(hereinafter referred to as the "Lender")
The undersigned (hereinafter referred to as the "Creditor"), creditor of
MONUMENT MORTGAGE, INC., a California corporation (hereinafter referred to as
the "Company"), desires that the Lender extend or continue to extend such
financial accommodations to the Company as the Company may require and as the
Lender may deem proper. For the purpose of inducing the Lender to grant,
continue or renew such financial accommodations, and in consideration thereof,
the Creditor agrees as follows:
1. That at the present time the Company is indebted to the Creditor in the
principal amounts set forth below:
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT
TYPE OF FACILITY OF DEBT FROM THE
OR LOAN COMPANY
----------------------------- -----------------------------
----------------------------- -----------------------------
----------------------------- -----------------------------
----------------------------- -----------------------------
(Notes, if any, are to be delivered to the Lender)
2. That all claims of the Creditor against the Company now or hereafter
existing are and shall be at all times subject and subordinate to any and all
claims now or hereafter which the Lender may have against the Company (and all
extensions, renewals, modifications, replacements and substitutions of or for
the same), for so long as any such claim or claims of the Lender shall exist.
3. That the Creditor shall not (a) except to the extent expressly permitted
in Section 4 hereof, receive payment of or collect, in whole or in part, or ▇▇▇
upon, any claim or claims now
1
or hereafter existing which the Creditor may hold against the Company; (b) sell,
assign, transfer, pledge, hypothecate or encumber such claim or claims except
subject expressly to this Agreement; (c) enforce any lien the Creditor may now
or in the future have on any debt owing by the Company to the Creditor; and/or
(d) join in any petition in bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors
or creditors' agreement, except as directed by the Lender, so long as any claim
of the Lender against the Company, or commitment of the Lender to extend credit
to the Company, is in existence.
4. So long as no event described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 6
below (a "Liquidation Event") shall have occurred and no default shall have
occurred in payment or performance of any obligation of the Company to the
Lender, regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal on the claims of
the Creditor may be made as and when the same become due and payable (it being
understood that no prepayment shall be made of such claims and no modification
or acceleration, for default or otherwise, of such maturity dates shall be
permitted). After the occurrence of a Liquidation Event or of default in
payment or performance of any obligation of the Company to the Lender, no
interest and no principal payments on the claims of the Creditor shall be made
without the prior written consent of the Lender. The subordination of claims of
the Creditor hereunder shall remain in effect so long as there shall be
outstanding any obligation of the Company to the Lender (for this purpose, the
Company shall be deemed obligated to the Lender so long as the Lender shall have
outstanding any commitment to make any loan to the Company, whether or not any
such loan shall have been made or advanced).
5. In the event that any Creditor receives a payment from the Company in
violation of the terms of this Agreement, such Creditor (a) shall hold such
money in trust for the benefit of Lender, (b) shall segregate such payment from
(and shall not commingle such payment with any of) the other funds of such
Creditor, and (c) shall forthwith remit such payment to Lender in the exact form
received (but with any necessary endorsement).
6. In case of (a) any assignment by the Company for the benefit of
creditors, (b) any bankruptcy proceedings instituted by or against the Company,
(c) the appointment of any receiver for the Company's business or assets, or (d)
any dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Company, the Company and any
assignee, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, or other person or persons in charge,
are hereby directed to pay to the Lender the full amount of the Lender's claim
against the Company before making any payment of principal or interest to the
Creditor and the Creditor hereby sells, transfers, sets over and assigns to the
Lender all claims the Creditor may now or hereafter have against the Company and
in any security therefor, and the proceeds thereof, and all
2
rights to any payments, dividends or other distributions arising therefrom. If
the Creditor does not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required
in such proceeding prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time
to file such claim in such proceedings, then the Lender has the right (but no
obligation) to do so and is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim or
claims for and on behalf of the Creditor.
7. For violation of this Agreement, the Creditor shall be liable to the
Lender for all loss and damage sustained by reason of such breach, and upon any
such violation, the Lender may accelerate the maturity of its claims against the
Company, at the Lender's option.
8. The Creditor will, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute
and deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action,
that may be reasonably necessary in order to protect any right or interest
granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights and
remedies hereunder.
9. The Creditor will not amend, extend or in any way modify the terms of its
claims against the Company, as such terms exist as of the date of this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Creditor agrees
to provide to the Lender, upon the occurrence thereof, notice of the existence
of any event of default (however defined or described) under any document or
agreement relating to its claims against the Company, or any condition, act or
event, which with the giving of notice or the passage of time or both would
constitute an event of default (however defined or described) thereunder.
10. All rights and interest of the Lender hereunder, and all agreements and
obligations of the Creditor hereunder, shall remain in full force and effect
irrespective of:
(a) any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of
the claims of the Lender against the Company (the "Senior Claims") and/or any
document or instrument executed in connection therewith;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other terms of, all or any of the Senior Claims, or any refinancing thereof, or
any other amendment, modification, extension or renewal of or waiver of or any
consent to departure from any document or instrument relating thereto,
including, without limitation, changes in the terms of the repayment of loan
proceeds, modifications, extensions or renewals of payment dates, changes in
interest rate or the advancement of additional funds by the Lender in its
discretion; or
3
(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty, for
all or any of the Senior Claims.
11. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the
case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of all or any portion of
the Senior Claims is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender or
any other party to the documents relating thereto upon the insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of any such party or otherwise, all as though such
payment had not been made.
12. The Creditor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance
and any other notice with respect to this Agreement and any requirement that the
Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien or any
property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action against the
Creditor or any other person or entity or any collateral.
13. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The remedies herein
provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law.
14. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to
any departure by the Creditor therefrom shall in any event be effective unless
the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such waiver or
consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given.
15. The Creditor agrees to pay upon demand, to the Lender the amount of any
and all expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and
all court costs and other reasonable litigation expenses, including but not
limited to expert witness fees, document copying expenses, exhibit preparation
costs, and courier, postage and communication expenses, which the Lender may
incur in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any of its rights or
interest hereunder.
16. All notices, request and demands that may be required or otherwise
provided for or contemplated under the terms of this Agreement shall, whether or
not so stated, be in writing, and shall be given by any of the following means:
(a) personal delivery; (b) reputable overnight courier service; or (c)
registered or certified first class mail, return receipt requested. Any notice,
request or demand sent pursuant to clause (a) above shall be deemed received
upon personal delivery, and if sent pursuant to clause (b) shall be deemed
received on the next
4
business day following delivery to the courier service, and if sent pursuant to

The opinions which follow are subject to the following assumptions,

A. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, other than
------------------
(2) A certificate of good standing, dated as of a date within ninety
(90) days of the date of the Agreement, for the state where the Company is
incorporated and for each state where the Company is transacting business as a
foreign corporation should be listed.
(3) A certificate of good standing, dated as of a date within ninety
(90) days of the date of the Agreement, for the state where the Guarantor is
incorporated and for each state where the Guarantor is transacting business as a
foreign corporation should be listed.
2
of the Company and the Guarantor, the authenticity of all documents
submitted to us as originals, and the conformity with the original
documents of all documents submitted to us as reproduced copies, and
the authenticity of all such latter documents.
B. We have assumed the organization, existence, good standing and capacity
of all persons and entities other than the Company and the Guarantor, and
that such parties, other than the Company and the Guarantor, have the
right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and
to perform thereunder.
C. We have assumed that the Lender's obligations under the Agreement are
within the powers of the Lender and have been duly and validly authorized
and that the Agreement has been duly executed and validly delivered by
the Lender.
D. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have made
such factual inquiries of the Company and the Guarantor, and have
examined such other documents and made such examinations of applicable
laws, as we have deemed necessary for purposes of the opinions expressed
herein. However, where we state that a matter is to the best of our
knowledge, we have relied upon the written statements of the Guarantor
and the officers of the Company, with no inquiry as to the facts other
than as necessary to establish that such reliance was reasonable on our
part.
Based upon such examinations and investigations, and such other
investigations and examinations as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of
the opinions expressed herein, and subject to the assumptions stated above in
paragraphs A through D, inclusive, and in our capacity as special counsel for
the Company and the Guarantor, we are of the opinion that:
[OPINIONS CONCERNING COMPANY]
1. The Company AND EACH SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY(4) is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the
jurisdiction in which it is incorporated and has the full legal power and
authority to own its property and to carry on its business as currently
conducted.
2. The Company AND EACH SUBSIDIARY OF THE COMPANY is duly
-------------------------
(4) In the alternative, state that the Company has no Subsidiaries.
3
qualified to do business as a foreign corporation and is in good standing
in all jurisdictions where the ownership of its property or the conduct
of its business makes such qualification necessary.
3. The Company has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
the Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan
Documents by the Company, including without limitation, the borrowings
under the Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral, have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of the Company.
4. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by the Company.
The Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of
the Company and are enforceable in accordance with their respective terms
against the Company, except that enforceability may be limited by
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or other similar laws
affecting the rights of creditors, and general principles of equity.
5. Upon delivery to the Lender of those items of Collateral, consisting of
promissory notes secured by mortgages or deeds of trust ("Pledged
Mortgages") or mortgage-backed securities ("Pledged Securities"), or in
the case of Pledged Securities issued in book-entry form or issued in
certificated form and delivered to a clearing corporation (as such term
is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or its nominee, upon (a)
registration of such Pledged Securities in the name of a securities
intermediary (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) in
an account containing only customer securities, (b) the notation of
Lender's security interest in such Pledged Securities on the records of
such securities intermediary, by book entry or otherwise, and (c) the
sending by such securities intermediary to the Lender of confirmation of
such notation, the Lender will have a valid and perfected security
interest therein. We assume, in giving this opinion, that such items of
Collateral will be owned by the Company and that, at the time the
Lender's security interest is noted on the records of any securities
intermediary, such Pledged Securities will be free of any interest
created through the Federal Reserve Bank, clearing corporation and/or
securities intermediary. With respect to Pledged Mortgages, the laws of
certain jurisdictions may require the recordation of an assignment of
such deeds of trust or mortgages in order to perfect a security interest
in the deed of trust or mortgage (as opposed to the notes secured
thereby). If the Lender does not record its assignment of deeds of trust

Documents, will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the
Articles of Incorporation or By-laws of the Company; (ii) require any

not been obtained; (iii) to the best of our knowledge, result in the
creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets

knowledge, result in a violation or breach of any term or provision,
constitute a default under, or result in or require the acceleration of

court or any governmental agency, to which the Company may be bound or to
which the Company or any of its property may be subject.

pending or threatened against or affecting the Company, in any court or
before any arbitrator or governmental authority which, if adversely
determined, may reasonably be expected to result in any material and
adverse change in the business, operations, assets or financial condition
of the Company as a whole.
