Agreement and the other Loan Documents in reliance on any telephone or
Electronic Transmissions of an Authorized Agent, (ii) the procedure permitting
requests for advances and repayments and requests for the taking of other
actions by an Authorized Agent based on a telephone or Electronic Transmission
is for the convenience of the Company, is not necessarily secure and there are
risks associated with such use, including risks of interception, disclosure and

such telephone or Electronic Transmissions, and the Company expressly agrees to
indemnify and hold Bank harmless therefor. Without limiting the foregoing, the
Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that Bank shall have no duty to

payments necessary to comply with this provision. In determining the Borrowing
Base and the eligibility of any Mortgage Loan for inclusion therein, Bank may
waive

 

14

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

any of the limits set forth in the Borrowing Base definition and any of the
requirements for eligibility set forth herein; provided, however, that any
Mortgage Loan which is accepted by Bank under such a waiver shall cease to be
included in the Borrowing Base upon notice of the retraction of such waiver
given to Company by Bank unless at the time of giving of such notice the
deficiency which originally required such waiver has been cured. Advances of the
Line of Credit will only be funded if a draft is presented to Bank or Bank has
received a wire request with the Required Documents or Wet Funded Required
Documents.

 

(b)          Without limiting the requirements of Section 3(a) hereof, and
unless earlier due (whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), each

Mortgage Loan as provided in Sections 3.1 through 3.5 of the Security Agreement.

 

(c)          Company may prepay principal outstanding under the Line of Credit
at any time and from time to time without penalty or premium.  So long as no
Event of Default or Default exists, such prepayments shall be applied by Bank to
principal outstanding under the Line of Credit.  After an Event of Default or
Default, such prepayments shall be applied to the Liabilities in such order and
manner as the Bank shall determine. Such prepayments shall not entitle Company
to the release of any Pledged Mortgage Loans and Bank shall continue to hold all
Pledged Mortgage Loans as security for the Liabilities. Company may request
re-advances of amounts prepaid subject to all of the terms and conditions for
advances of the Line of Credit under this Agreement, the Note and the other Loan
Documents.

Bank an unused fee on the Unused Portion of the Line at a rate of one-fourth
percent (1/4%) per annum, computed on the actual number of days elapsed using a
year of 360 days. The unused fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears,
commencing with the quarter ending June 30, 2014, within 10 days after the end
of each calendar quarter, and on the maturity of the Line of Credit, whether by
maturity, acceleration, termination or otherwise. All fees required under this
