to the Note or any continuation thereof; provided , that
failure of the Lender to make any such recordation or notation

the Loans.

2
(b)
Subsequent Borrower Electronic Files and Funding Requests .

the related Funding Date is after the Monthly Settlement Date) and
in all events on the third Business Day of each calendar month,
regardless of whether the Borrowers intend to deliver a Funding
Notice during such calendar month, the Borrowers shall deliver to
the Lender, a Subsequent Electronic File with respect to the
Eligible Servicing Rights. After the Initial Funding Date, the
Borrowers may request the Lender to make a Loan on the related
Funding Date by delivering to the Lender an irrevocable Borrower
Funding Request no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time)
one Business Day prior to such Funding Date. The amount of any Loan
requested pursuant to a Borrower Funding Request shall be not
greater than the related Available Loan Amount.
(c) By
delivering a Borrower Funding Request, the Borrowers represent and
warrant to the Lender that, after taking into account the amount of
the requested Loan, all conditions precedent to such Loan specified
in Section 5.02 have been satisfied.
Section 2.04
Borrowing Base Reports .
(a) On
or prior to the Initial Funding Date, the Borrowers shall deliver
to the Lender the Initial Borrowing Base Report and a Borrowing
Base Certificate based on the information provided in the Initial
Electronic File.
(b) After
the Initial Funding Date, the Borrowers shall deliver an updated
Borrowing Base Report and Borrowing Base Certificate no less
frequently than once per calendar month and no later than the
seventh Business Day following delivery of each Subsequent
Electronic File in accordance with Section 2.03 . Each
Borrowing Base Report and each Borrowing Base Certificate delivered
by the Borrowers shall be effective until such time as the
Borrowers deliver a subsequent Borrowing Base Report and Borrowing
Base Certificate. For purposes of preparing each Borrowing Base
Report, the Borrower shall calculate the Collateral Value of the
Eligible Servicing Rights and the Additional Collateral described
in the Relevant Electronic File in accordance with the definition
of Collateral Value provided in Schedule I .
Section 2.05
Interest . Interest shall accrue on each Loan for each day
during a related Interest Period at a per annum rate equal to the
product of (x) the outstanding principal balance of such Loan
on such day, multiplied by (y) the sum of (i) the
applicable LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period and (ii) the
Applicable Margin. Interest shall be payable in arrears with
respect to each Interest Period through the final day of each
Interest Period (regardless of whether such day is a Business Day),
such amount to be payable on the first Business Day following the
end of such Interest Period. The Lender shall determine the LIBOR
Rate for each Loan prior to the beginning of each Interest Period,
as set forth in the definition of “LIBOR Rate.” The
Lender shall also calculate the amount of interest and, if
applicable, any Breakage Costs or other amounts due to be paid by
the Borrowers from time to time hereunder (including in connection
with any prepayment or repayment of Loans permitted hereunder) and
shall provide a written statement thereof to the Borrowers at least
two Business Days prior to the due date of such payments (or the
relevant repayment or prepayment after having received a notice
thereof); provided , that failure to provide such statements
on a timely basis shall not relieve the Borrowers of the obligation
to pay any interest and principal due on the applicable payment
date (based upon its good faith calculation of the amount due, such
amount to be promptly reconciled after
3
receipt of a
subsequent statement from the Lender) and other such amounts
hereunder promptly upon receipt of such statement.
Section 2.06
[Reserved] .
Section 2.07
Alternate Rate of Interest . If prior to the commencement of
any Interest Period, the Lender determines (which determination
shall be conclusive absent manifest error) (a) that adequate
and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the LIBOR Rate
for such Interest Period; or (b) that the LIBOR Rate for such
Interest Period will not adequately and fairly reflect the cost to
the Lender of making or maintaining its Loan; or (c) that it
has become unlawful for it to honor its obligation to make or
maintain Loans hereunder using the LIBOR Rate, or maintaining its
Loans (or its Loan) included in such advance for such Interest
Period, then the Lender shall give notice thereof to the Borrowers
by telephone, facsimile, or other electronic means as promptly as
practicable thereafter and, until the Lender notifies the Borrowers
that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist,
any Borrower Funding Request that requests the continuation of any
Loan will be made, subject to the timely approval of the Borrowers
after receipt of notice of such revised rate, at a rate per annum
that the Lender determines in it reasonable discretion adequately
reflects the cost to the Lender of making or maintaining the Loan
for such Interest Period.
Section 2.08
Mandatory Repayment of Loans .
(a) The
Borrowers shall repay the Outstanding Aggregate Loan Amount with
respect to all Loans and all other amounts due under this Agreement
in full on the Loan Repayment Date. Loans may be prepaid in
accordance with the terms of Section 2.09 hereof and,
to the extent prepaid, may be re-borrowed hereunder in accordance
with the terms hereof (including satisfaction of all conditions
precedent contained in Section 5.02 ).
(b) If,
on any Business Day (a “ Borrowing Base Shortfall Day
”), the Lender provides written notice to the Borrowers that
the Lender has determined in its sole reasonable discretion based
on the Borrowing Base Report most recently delivered by the
Borrowers pursuant to Section 2.04(b) that the Outstanding
Aggregate Loan Amount on such day exceeds the lesser of (i)
Borrowing Base and (ii) the Commitment Amount on such day
(such circumstance, a “ Borrowing Base Deficiency
”), the Borrowers shall:
(A) within
one (1) Business Day after the Borrowing Base Shortfall Day
(i) repay outstanding Loans, and/or (ii) pledge
additional Eligible Servicing Rights, and/or (iii) pledge
Additional Collateral, in an amount equal to the lesser of (1)
$50,000,000 and (2) the amount of the Borrowing Base
Deficiency specified in the notice provided to the Borrowers by the
Lender; and
(B) if the
Borrowing Base Deficiency specified in such notice is in excess of
$50,000,000, within three (3) Business Days after the
Borrowing Base Shortfall Day, (i) prepay outstanding Loans,
and/or (ii) pledge additional Eligible Servicing Rights,
and/or (iii) pledge Additional Collateral, in an aggregate
amount equal to the remaining Borrowing Base Deficiency;
provided , that the amount required to be paid by the
Borrowers pursuant to this clause (B) shall be reduced by
an
4
increase in the
Borrowing Base as reflected in any Borrowing Base Report delivered
by the Borrowers to the Lender on or prior to such third Business
Day over the Borrowing Base reflected in the Borrowing Base Report
initially relied upon to determine such Borrowing Base Deficiency.
The Borrowers shall deliver to the Lender such updated Borrowing
Base Report promptly upon the Borrowers’ delivery to the
Lender of evidence reasonably sufficient to support a conclusion
that such previously delivered Borrowing Base Report does not
accurately reflect the Collateral Value of the Eligible Servicing
Rights and the Additional Collateral. If on any Business Day
subsequent to a Borrowing Base Shortfall Day there shall be a
Borrowing Base Deficiency in excess of the Borrowing Base
Deficiency as of the original Borrowing Base Shortfall Day, the
provisions of this Section 2.08(b) shall be applicable to
such Borrowing Base Deficiency, but only to the extent of the
excess of such Borrowing Base Deficiency on such subsequent
Business Day over and above the Borrowing Base Deficiency as of the
original Borrowing Base Shortfall Day.
(c) The
Borrowers shall deliver a Repayment Notice with respect to each
repayment of outstanding Loan amounts made pursuant to
Section 2.08(b) by 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on
the first Business Day following the related Borrowing Base
Shortfall Day.
(d) Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrowers
shall not be required to pay any Breakage Costs incurred by the
Lender in connection with a mandatory repayment pursuant to this
Section 2.08 .
Section 2.09
Optional Prepayment . The Borrowers may, at their option,
prepay any Loan advanced hereunder in full or in part (as well as
all interest accrued and unpaid thereon through the end of the
related Interest Period) on the last Business Day of any Interest
Period related thereto (each an “ Optional Prepayment
Date ”); provided , that the Borrowers deliver a
Prepayment Notice to the Lender, no later than 1:00 p.m. New York
City time on a Business Day that is at least two (2) Business
Days preceding the Optional Prepayment Date. Any partial prepayment
shall be in a minimum principal amount of not less than $10,000,000
and in increments of $1,000,000. Any such prepayment shall be paid
over to the Lender by the Borrowers by 1:00 p.m. (New York City
time) on such Optional Prepayment Date, and shall be in amount
equal to the sum of (i) the Loan amount being prepaid on the
date of such prepayment, plus (ii) all accrued and
unpaid interest on such Loan being prepaid as of the date of such
prepayment, plus (iii) the allocable portion
(determined by the Lender in its sole reasonable discretion) of all
other amounts due from the Borrowers hereunder. The Borrowers may
make a partial or full prepayment on any date other than an
Optional Prepayment Date provided that the Borrowers make a timely
delivery of a Prepayment Notice, and in addition to the amount
required under items (i), (ii), and (iii) above, the Borrowers
must pay, without duplication, (a) all Breakage Costs, if any,
actually incurred by the Lender and resulting from such prepayment
and (b) all interest on such Loan being prepaid through the
end of the Interest Period following the prepayment. In the absence
of a timely delivered Prepayment Notice, the Lender shall
automatically and without further action by the Borrowers continue
each Loan at the termination of each Interest Period for a
successive Interest Period beginning on the day immediately
following the final day of the immediately preceding Interest
Period.
5
Section 2.10
Reduction of Commitment Amount . The Borrowers may elect, by
notice in writing to the Lender, to reduce the Commitment Amount to
such lower amount as the Borrowers shall specify in such notice;
provided, that such amount shall not be lower than the Outstanding
Aggregate Loan Amount on the date such reduction is to take effect;
Such reduction in the Commitment Amount shall take effect on and
from the date specified in such notice (the “ Commitment
Reduction Date ”, which definition shall include the date
on which the Commitment Amount is reduced by the Lender pursuant to
this Section 2.10), which date shall be no earlier than three
(3) Business Days from the date of actual receipt of such
notice by the Lender.

, the Lender may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, without notice, advertisement, hearing or process of law of
any kind, (i) enter upon any premises where any of the

reasonable manner and in accordance with
20
applicable law.
The Borrowers hereby expressly waive, to the fullest extent
permitted by applicable law, any and all notices, advertisements,
hearings or process of law in connection with the exercise by the
Lender of any of its rights and remedies upon the occurrence of an
Event of Default. Each of the Lender and the Borrowers shall have
the right (but not the obligation) to bid for and purchase any or
all Collateral at any public or private sale. The Borrowers hereby
agree that in any sale of any of the Collateral, the Lender is
hereby authorized to comply with any limitation or restriction in
connection with such sale as it may be advised by counsel is
necessary in order to avoid any violation of applicable law
(including, without limitation, compliance with such procedures as
may restrict the number of prospective bidders and purchasers,
require that such prospective bidders and purchasers have certain
qualifications, and restrict such prospective bidders and
purchasers to Persons who will represent and agree that they are
purchasing for their own account for investment and not with a view
to the distribution or resale of such Collateral), or in order to
obtain any required approval of the sale or of the purchaser by any
Governmental Authority, and the Borrowers further agree that such
compliance shall not result in such sale being considered or deemed
not to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The
Lender shall not be liable for any sale, private or public,
conducted in accordance with this Section 8.02(c) . If an
Event of Default occurs, and upon acceleration of the Loans

Rights, and other Collateral will be used to pay the
Obligations.

GMACM/GMAC Servicing Rights Collection Acct”). The Borrowers
and the Lender hereby agree that upon the occurrence of and during
the continuation of an Event of Default, only the Lender may make
withdrawals from the Collection Accounts. Upon notice from the
Lender that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, all
Collections in respect of the Collateral shall be deposited
directly into the Collection Accounts, and any funds received by
either Borrower in respect of any Collections in respect of the
Collateral which for any reason have not yet been deposited into
the Collection Accounts shall be deemed to be held by such Borrower
as the case may be, in trust for the Lender and shall not be used

shall be distributed to the foregoing parties, pro rata in
accordance with the amounts due to such parties); and
(v) to
pay any remaining amounts to the Borrowers by transferring such
amount to the account specified in writing by the
Borrowers.

delegation, as applicable, and all references to the Lender in this
Agreement or any Facility Document shall be deemed to apply to such
assignee to the extent of such interest; provided that the
Borrowers shall not be liable to any assignee for amounts pursuant
to Article X in excess of the amount that would have been
payable thereunder to the initial Lender. If any interest in any
Facility Document transferred to any assignee which is organized

Affiliates, successors, permitted transferees and assigns and all
officers, directors, shareholders, controlling persons, employees
and agents of any of the foregoing (each an “ Indemnified
Party ”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and
all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related costs and
expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and
disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to
as “ Indemnified Amounts ”) awarded against or
incurred by any of them arising out of or as a result of this
Agreement, the other Facility Documents, or any transaction
contemplated hereby or thereby excluding, however,
(a) Indemnified Amounts to the extent a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that they resulted from negligence, bad
faith or willful misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Party,
(b) in the event that the Lender has assigned its rights or
delegated its obligations in respect of this Agreement, and the
Indemnified Amounts with respect to such assignee exceed the
Indemnified Amounts that would otherwise have been payable by the
Borrowers to the Lender, the amount of such excess, and
(c) any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages of any Indemnified Party. In any suit,
proceeding or action brought by the Lender in connection with any
Collateral for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any
provisions of any Collateral, the Borrowers will save, indemnify
and hold the Lender harmless from and against all expense, loss or
damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account
debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by either
Borrower of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other
agreement, indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in
favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from the
Borrowers. The Borrowers also agree to reimburse the Lender as and
when billed by the Lender for all the Lender’s reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
enforcement or the preservation of the Lender’s rights under
this Agreement, the Note, any other Facility Document or any
transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including without
limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel.
The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding the fact
that the Note is secured by the Collateral, the obligation of the
Borrowers under the Note is a recourse obligation of the Borrowers.
Under no circumstances shall any Indemnified Party be liable to the
Borrowers for any lost profits or indirect, exemplary, punitive or
consequential damages.
Section 10.02
General Provisions . If for any reason the indemnification
provided above in Section 10.01 (and subject to the
limitations on indemnification contained therein) is unavailable to
an Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an Indemnified
Party harmless on the basis of public policy, then the Borrowers
shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified
Party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative
benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and the
Borrowers on the other hand but also the relative fault of such
Indemnified Party as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.
