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.

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.
