then current Interest Period applicable thereto. The Managing Administrative
Agent shall notify the Lenders and the Company promptly that such automatic
conversion will occur. If the Company shall fail to give notice as provided
above, the Company shall be deemed to have elected to convert the affected
Eurodollar Loan to an Federal Funds Rate Loan on the last day of the Interest
Period applicable thereto.

                          (4)      The Managing Administrative Agent shall give
prompt written notice (or notice by telephone immediately confirmed in writing)
to the Company and the Lenders of the applicable interest rate determined by the
Managing Administrative Agent.

required to make or maintain Eurodollar Loans under this Agreement with more
than an aggregate number of eight (8) different Interest Periods.

                 4(b)     Interest on Discount Loans. Since Discount Loans will

to and including the last day of such month; and

                          (2)      On Eurodollar Loans and Negotiated Loans on
the last day of the applicable Interest Period relating thereto; provided,
however, that in the case any Eurodollar Loan having a six month Interest
Period, the Company shall pay interest on the ninetieth (90th) day following the
day on which such Eurodollar Loan was made as well as on the last day of the
applicable Interest Period relating thereto.

                 4(g)     Inability to Determine Rate. In the event that the
Managing Administrative Agent shall have determined (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding upon the Company) that by reason of circumstances
affecting the interbank eurodollar market adequate and reasonable means do not
exist for ascertaining the Eurodollar Rate for any given Interest Period, the
Managing Administrative Agent shall forthwith give notice (which may be
telephonic and promptly confirmed in writing or by facsimile transmission) of
such determination to each Lender and to the Company at least two Eurodollar
Business Days prior to, as the case may be, the proposed funding date of a
Discount Loan, the conversion date of an Federal Funds Rate Loan to a Eurodollar
Loan or the proposed funding or continuation date of a Direct Loan as a
Eurodollar Loan. If such notice is given: (1)&#160;any Multi-Year Loan or Short
Term Loan that was to have been funded as a Discount Loan shall be funded as an
Federal Funds Rate Loan, (2)&#160;any Direct Loan that was to have been
converted to or funded as a Eurodollar Loan shall, subject to the provisions
hereof, be continued or funded as an Federal Funds Rate Loan, and (3)&#160;any
outstanding Eurodollar Loan shall be converted, on the last day of the then
current Interest Period with respect thereto, to an Federal Funds Rate Loan.
Until such notice has been withdrawn by the Managing Administrative Agent, the
Company shall not have the right to have a Multi-Year Loan or a Short Term Loan
funded as a Discount Loan or to convert a Direct Loan to or fund or continue a
Direct Loan as a Eurodollar Loan.

                 4(h)     Funding Indemnification. In addition to all other
payment obligations hereunder, in the event: (1)&#160;any Multi-Year Loan or
Short Term Loan funded as a Discount Loan or which is outstanding as a
Eurodollar Loan is prepaid prior to the last day of the applicable Interest
Period, whether following acceleration upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default or otherwise, including, without limitation, pursuant to
Paragraphs&#160;14(a), 14(b) and 14(c) below, or (2)&#160;the Company shall fail
to make a conversion into or a borrowing as a Eurodollar Loan after the Company
has given notice thereof as provided in Paragraph&#160;4(a)(2) above, or
(3)&#160;the Company shall fail to continue any Direct Loan which it has elected
to have continued as a Eurodollar Loan, or (4)&#160;the Company shall fail to
borrow any Multi-Year Loan or Short Term Loan as a Discount Loan after giving a
Pre-Funding Notice with respect thereto or fail to prepay any Discount Loan
after having given notice of its intention so to do, or (5)&#160;the Company
shall fail to make any payment of principal or interest on any Loan when due,
then the Company shall immediately pay to each of the affected Lenders, through
the Managing Administrative Agent, an additional amount compensating such Lender
for all losses, costs and expenses incurred by such Lender in connection
therewith, including, without limitation, such as may arise out of the
re-employment of funds obtained by such Lender or from fees payable to terminate
the deposits from which such funds were obtained, such losses, costs and
expenses and the method of calculation thereof being set forth in reasonable
detail in a statement delivered to the Company by such Lender, such statement to
be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Under no circumstances shall any
Lender have any obligation to remit monies to the Company upon prepayment of any
Discount Loan or any Eurodollar Loan, even under circumstances which do not
result in the necessity for the payment by the Company of any amount hereunder.
The provisions hereof shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment of
the outstanding Loans and GNMA Pool Advance Loans and all other Obligations.

                 4(i)     Illegality; Impracticality. Notwithstanding any other
provisions herein, if any law, regulation, treaty or directive or any change
therein or in the interpretation or application thereof shall or may in the
opinion of any Lender make it unlawful or impractical for such Lender to make or
maintain Eurodollar Loans or purchase its Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share
or Short Term Facility Percentage Share of Discount Loans: (1)&#160;the
commitment of such Lender hereunder to purchase its Multi-Year Facility
Percentage Share or Short Term Facility Percentage Share of Discount Loans or to
make, continue or convert into Eurodollar Loans, as applicable, shall forthwith
be cancelled and (2)&#160;such Lender&#146;s Multi-Year Facility Percentage
Share or Short Term Facility Percentage Share, as applicable, of Loans
outstanding as Discount Loans or as Eurodollar Loans, if any, shall be converted
automatically to Federal Funds Rate Loans at the end of their respective
Interest Periods or within such earlier period as required by law. In the event
the commitment of any Lender to purchase its Multi-Year Facility Percentage
Share or Short Term Facility Percentage Share, as applicable, of Discount Loans
shall be terminated hereunder, the agreement of the Balance Banks to fund
Discount Loans shall be reduced in a like amount. In the event of a conversion
of any Loan prior to the end of its applicable Interest Period the Company
hereby agrees promptly to pay each Lender, upon its written demand, the amounts
required pursuant to Paragraph&#160;4(h) above, it being agreed and understood
that such conversion shall constitute a prepayment for all purposes hereof. The
provisions hereof shall survive the termination of this Agreement and payment of
the outstanding Loans and GNMA Pool Advance Loans and all other Obligations.

                 4(j)     Requirements of Law; Increased Costs. In the event
that a change subsequent to the date hereof in any applicable law, regulation,
treaty or directive or in the governmental or judicial interpretation or
application thereof, or compliance by any Lender with any request or directive
(whether or not having the force of law) issued subsequent to the date hereof by
any central bank or other governmental authority, agency or instrumentality:

                          (1)      Does or shall subject any Lender to any tax
of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Loans or GNMA Pool
Advance Loans purchased or made hereunder, or changes the basis of taxation of
payments to such Lender of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable
hereunder (except for changes in the rate of tax on the overall net income of
such Lender);

                          (2)      Does or shall impose, modify or hold
applicable any reserve, 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 credit extended by, or any other acquisition
of funds by, any office of such Lender which are not otherwise included in the
determination of the Balance Bank Discount, the Lender Discount, the Applicable
Federal Funds Rate or the Applicable Eurodollar Rate or the rate applicable to a
Negotiated Loan or a GNMA Pool Advance Loan; or

                          (3)      Does or shall impose on such Lender any other
condition; and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to
such Lender of purchasing, making, agreeing to make, renewing or maintaining or
issuing any Loan or any GNMA Pool Advance Loan or to reduce any amount
receivable in respect thereof then, in any such case, the Company shall promptly
pay to such Lender, upon its written demand, any additional amounts necessary to
compensate such Lender for such additional cost or reduced amounts receivable as
determined by such Lender with respect to this Agreement or such credit
extensions. If a Lender becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts
pursuant to this Paragraph&#160;4(j), it shall promptly notify the Company of
the event by reason of which it has become so entitled. A certificate as to any
additional amounts payable pursuant to the foregoing sentence submitted by a
Lender to the Company shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The
obligations of the Company under this Paragraph&#160;4(j) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other Obligations.

                 4(k)     Taxes.

                          (1)      All payments made by the Company, the
Managing Administrative Agent and the Lenders on account of the Obligations
shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on
account of, any present or future income, stamp or other taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings, now or hereafter imposed,
levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any Governmental Authority,
excluding, in the case of a Lender, net income taxes and franchise taxes
(imposed in lieu of net income taxes), imposed on such Lender, as the case may
be, as a result of a present or former connection between the jurisdiction of
the government or taxing authority imposing such tax, or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, and such Lender (other than
a connection arising solely from such Lender having executed, delivered or
performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, the Credit
Documents) (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees,
deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called &#147;Taxes&#148;). If any
Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to any Lender under
the Credit Documents, the amounts so payable by the Company to the Managing
Administrative Agent for the benefit of such Lender shall be increased to the
extent necessary to yield to such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest
or any such other amounts payable thereunder at the rates or in the amounts
specified in the Credit Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Company
or on behalf of the Company, the Company shall pay such Taxes to the appropriate
taxing authority when due, and as promptly as possible thereafter the Company
shall send to the Managing Administrative Agent for its own account or for the
account of such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original
official receipt received by the Company showing payment thereof. If the Company
fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to
remit to the Managing Administrative Agent the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, the Company shall indemnify the Managing
Administrative Agent and such Lender for any incremental taxes, interest or
penalties that may become payable by the Managing Administrative Agent and such
Lender as a result of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection shall
survive the termination of this Agreement and the payment of all other
Obligations. Each Lender by executing this Agreement represents and warrants to
the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent that at the date of this
Agreement no Taxes are imposed upon such Lender which would result in increased
liability of the Company to such Lender pursuant to this Paragraph&#160;4(k)(1).

                          (2)      Each Lender that is not incorporated under
the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof agrees that it will
deliver to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent (1)&#160;two duly
completed copies of United States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or
successor applicable form, as the case may be, and (2)&#160;an Internal Revenue
Service Form W-8 or W-9 or successor applicable form. Each such Lender also
agrees to deliver to the Company and the Managing Administrative Agent two
further copies of the said Form&#160;1001 or&#160;4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or
successor applicable forms or other manner of certification, as the case may be,
on or before the date that any such form expires or becomes obsolete or after
the occurrence of any event requiring a change in the most recent form
previously delivered by it to the Company, and such extensions or renewals
thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Company or the Managing
Administrative Agent, unless in any such case an event (including, without
limitation, any change in treaty, law or regulation) has occurred prior to the
date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required which renders all
such forms inapplicable or which would prevent such Lender from duly completing
and delivering any such form with respect to it and such Lender so advises the
Company and the Managing Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify
(i)&#160;in the case of a Form&#160;1001 or&#160;4224, that it is entitled to
receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or withholding of any
United States federal income taxes and (ii)&#160;in the case of a Form W-8 or
W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup withholding
tax.

                 4(l)     Treatment of Qualifying Balances; Indemnity. Each
Balance Bank and the time to time with a view toward allowing the Company to
maintain its deposit balances at such Balance Bank in types of deposit accounts
bearing the lowest reserve requirements practicable consistent with the
flexibility required by the Company to make frequent withdrawals and deposits.
In the event that it shall be determined at any time that (1)&#160;any Balance
Bank has incorrectly characterized deposit accounts maintained by the Company
with such Balance Bank for purposes of determining required reserves,
(2)&#160;any Balance Bank has maintained inadequate reserves in respect of such
deposit accounts, (3)&#160;the cost of reserves used in the calculation of the
amount of Qualifying Balances at any time was the cost of the inadequate
reserves so maintained or (4)&#160;any Balance Bank is required to maintain
retroactive reserves, or to pay other costs, penalties or charges, as a result
thereof, then, in any such event, the Company shall pay to such Balance Bank on
demand the additional amounts necessary to compensate such Balance Bank for the
cost of maintaining such retroactive reserves and for any other costs, penalties
or charges related thereto, including any amounts arising from a recalculation
of the &#147;Balance Deficiency Fee&#148; referred to in the applicable Balance
Bank Agreement. A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to
this subsection submitted by a Balance Bank directly to the Company prior to the
occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, and
through the Managing Administrative Agent thereafter, shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. The agreements in this subsection shall survive
termination of this Agreement and payment of all other Obligations.

                 4(m)     Obligation of Lenders to Mitigate; Replacement of
Lenders. Each Lender agrees that:

                          (1)      As promptly as practicable after the officer
of such Lender responsible for administering the Loans of such Lender becomes
aware of any event or condition that would entitle such Lender to receive
payments under Paragraph&#160;4(j) above or to cease making Eurodollar Loans or
to cease purchasing its Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share or Short Term
Facility Percentage Share of Discount Loans pursuant to Paragraph&#160;4(i)
above, such Lender will use reasonable efforts (i) to make, issue, fund or
maintain the affected Loans of such Lender through another lending office of
such Lender or (ii) take such other measures as such Lender may deem reasonable,
if as a result thereof the additional amounts which would otherwise be required
to be paid to such Lender pursuant to Paragraph&#160;4(j) above would be
materially reduced or eliminated or the conditions rendering such Lender
incapable of making Eurodollar Loans or purchasing its Multi-Year Facility
Percentage Share or Short Term Facility Percentage Share of Discount Loans under
Paragraph&#160;4(i) above no longer would be applicable, and if, as determined
by such Lender in its sole discretion, the making, issuing, funding or
maintaining or purchasing of such Loans through such other lending office or in
accordance with such other measures, as the case may be, would not otherwise
materially adversely affect such Loans or the interests of such Lender.

                          (2)      If the Company receives a notice pursuant to
Paragraph 4(j) above or a notice pursuant to Paragraph 4(i) above stating that a
Lender is unable to extend Eurodollar Loans or purchase its Multi-Year Facility
Percentage Share or Short Term Facility Percentage Share of Discount Loans (for
reasons not generally applicable to the Majority Lenders), so long as (i) no
Potential Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
(ii) the Company has obtained a commitment from another Lender or another
financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Managing Administrative Agent
to purchase at par such Lender&#146;s Loans, Maximum Multi-Year Facility
Commitment and Maximum Short Term Facility Commitment, accrued interest and fees
and to assume all obligations of the Lender to be replaced under the Credit
Documents, and (iii) such Lender to be replaced is unwilling to withdraw the
notice delivered to the Company, upon thirty (30) days&#146; prior written
notice to such Lender and the Managing Administrative Agent and payment of any
amounts due under Paragraph 4(j) above, the Company may require, at the
Company&#146;s expense and subject to Paragraph 4(h) above, the Lender giving
such notice to assign, without recourse, all of its Loans, Maximum Multi-Year
Facility Commitment, Maximum Short Term Facility Commitment, accrued interest
and fees to such other Lender or financial institution pursuant to the
provisions of Paragraph 14 below.

                 4(n)     Buy-Down Provisions. Notwithstanding anything
contained in this Agreement, the Company and any individual Lender may notify
the Managing Administrative Agent in writing that the Company and such Lender
have entered into an agreement (a &#147;Buy-Down Agreement&#148;) with respect
to all or a portion of the Loans from time to time outstanding held by such
Lender, and that, pursuant to said Buy-Down Agreement, the interest rate
otherwise applicable to such Loans during any interest calculation period shall
be reduced to such lower rate as may be agreed to by the Company and such Lender
and the interest otherwise payable by the Company to such Lender during such
interest calculation period with respect to such Loans shall be reduced
accordingly. The Managing Administrative Agent, in rendering any interest
billing pursuant to Paragraph 5(d) below, shall bill such interest payable to
such Lender as instructed by such Lender from time to time (it being agreed and
understood that unless otherwise instructed by such Lender the Administrative
Agent shall bill interest at the rate or rate which would otherwise apply and
that the Administrative Agent shall have no obligation or duty to verify any
interest rate instruction provided by such Lender). The Company shall pay all
such interest in accordance with Paragraph 5(d) below. Any deficiency fees or
other amounts payable to any Lender by the Company under the a Buy-Down
Agreement shall be billed by such Lender to the Company directly.

         5.     Miscellaneous Lending Provisions.

                 5(a)     Use of Proceeds. The proceeds of Loans shall be
utilized by the Company solely to repay Indebtedness of the Company (including
Indebtedness of the Company to the Parent permitted to be repaid by the Company
to the Parent pursuant to the terms of the Credit Documents and including CPNs)
and for other general corporate purposes, including, without limitation,
Advances permitted pursuant to Paragraph 10(g) below. The proceeds of the GNMA
Pool Advance Loans shall be used solely for the purpose of fulfilling the
Company&#146;s obligations to GNMA as described in the GNMA Pool Advance
Agreement.

                 5(b)     Assumption of Funding/Purchase. The Managing
Administrative Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) assume that each
Multi-Year Lender has advanced its Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share of
Multi-Year Loans, that each Short Term Lender has advanced its Short Term
Facility Percentage Share of Short Term Loans and that each Lender has advanced
other Loans required to be funded by such Lender hereunder and that the GNMA
Pool Advance Lender has advanced such GNMA Pool Advance Loans as are to be
advanced by it on the funding date therefor and may, in reliance upon such
assumption, make available to the Company on such date a corresponding amount.
If and to the extent any Lender shall not have so made such amounts available,
such Lender and the Company jointly and severally agree to repay to the Managing
Administrative Agent forthwith on demand such corresponding amount together with
interest thereon, for each day from the date such amount is made available to
the Company until the date such amount is repaid to the Managing Administrative
Agent, at, in the case of the Company, the interest rate applicable at the time
to the subject Loan or GNMA Pool Advance Loan and, in the case of the Lenders,
the Federal Funds Effective Rate. If such Lender shall repay to the Managing
Administrative Agent such corresponding amount, such amount so repaid shall
constitute such Lender&#146;s Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share or Short Term
Facility Percentage Share, as applicable, of the subject Loan or, as applicable,
the other subject Loans or the subject GNMA Pool Advance Loans for all purposes
of the Credit Documents. Nothing contained herein shall affect the liability of
any Lender for its failure to make its Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share of
Multi-Year Loans or its Short Term Facility Percentage Share of Short Term Loans
or its other Loans or GNMA Pool Advance Loans available to the Company as
required pursuant to this Agreement and the other Credit Documents.

                 5(c)     Evidence of Indebtedness. The obligation of the
Company to repay Loans and GNMA Pool Advance Loans shall be evidenced by
notations on the books and records of the Managing Administrative Agent and the
Lenders. Such accounts shall be conclusive absent manifest error. Any failure to
record the advance of any Loan or GNMA Pool Advance Loan, the interest rate
applicable thereto or any other information regarding the Obligations, or any
error in doing so, shall not limit or otherwise affect the obligation of the
Company with respect to any of the Obligations. Upon the request of any Lender,
the Company shall promptly execute a promissory note or promissory notes in
favor of such Lender evidencing the Obligations held by such Lender hereunder.

                 5(d)     Interest and Fee Billing and Payment. The Managing
Administrative Agent

                          (1)      On or before the first Business Day of each
month notify the Company (which notification may be telephonic) of the estimated

Loans as of the fifth day of the current month for the period from and including
the first day of the immediately preceding month to and including the last day
of such month, with the actual amount confirmed by notification by the Managing
Administrative Agent to the Company (which notification may be telephonic and

                          (2)       On the last day of the Interest Period for
each Eurodollar Loan and, in the case any Eurodollar Loan having a six month

Eurodollar Loan was made, notify the Company, which notification may be
telephonic and which, if telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in writing, of
the amount of interest payable on such date on account thereof;

                          (3)      On or before the first Business Day of the
first month of each calendar quarter and on the Short Term Facility Maturity
Date and the Multi-Year Facility Maturity Date, notify the Company (which
notification may be telephonic) of the amount of facility fees payable pursuant
to the Fee Letters, which facility fees shall be payable in arrears for each
calendar quarter on the fifth day of such month for the immediately succeeding
calendar quarter and (i) in the case of the Short Term Facility Fee Letter, on
the Short Term Facility Maturity Date and (ii); in the case of the Multi-Year
Facility Fee Letter, on the Multi-Year Facility Maturity Date; and

                          (4)      From time to time upon the request of any
Lender, deliver to the Company a funding indemnification billing for amounts
payable to such Lender pursuant to Paragraph&#160;4(h) above or a billing for
amounts payable to such Lender pursuant to Paragraphs&#160;4(j), 4(k)
and&#160;4(l) above and Paragraph&#160;5(l) below.

The Company shall pay the full amount of interest and fees of which it has been
notified pursuant to subparagraphs&#160;(1) and&#160;(3) above on the fifth day
of each month, shall pay the full amount of interest of which it has been
notified pursuant to subparagraph&#160;(2) above on the date such notification
is given and shall pay the full amount of each billing delivered to it pursuant
to subparagraph&#160;(4) above within five Business Days thereafter. Interest
payable with respect to GNMA Pool Advance Loans prior to the occurrence of an
Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations shall be billed to the
Company directly by the GNMA Pool Advance Lender in accordance with the
timeframes set forth in subparagraph (1) above, and the Company shall pay the
full amount of interest due on GNMA Pool Advance Loans directly to such Lender
on the fifth day of each month. Interest payable with respect to Negotiated
Loans prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the
Obligations shall be billed to the Company directly by each Lender which
advanced such Negotiated Loans on the last day of the Interest Period for such
Negotiated Loan, and the Company shall pay the full amount of interest due on
such Negotiated Loans directly to each such Lender on such date. Following the
occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations, interest
payable on Loans and GNMA Pool Advance Loans shall be billed through the
Managing Administrative Agent.

                 5(e)     Nature and Place of Payments. Except as otherwise
expressly provided in the Credit Documents, all payments made on account of the
Obligations shall be made to the Managing Administrative Agent at the Contact
Office for distribution to the Lenders, as the Company shall, subject to
Paragraph 5(h) below, direct pursuant to a Loan Request, Interest Rate Election
and Payoff Notice, without set-off or counterclaim in lawful money of the United
States of America in immediately available same day funds, and must be received
by the Managing Administrative Agent accompanied by a Loan Request, Interest
Rate Election and Payoff Notice at the Contact Office by 11:30&#160;a.m. (Los
Angeles time) on the day of payment, it being expressly agreed and understood
that if a payment is received after 11:30&#160;a.m. (Los Angeles time) by the
Managing Administrative Agent or the Managing Administrative Agent does not
receive a Loan Request, Interest Rate Election and Payoff Notice therefor, such
payment will be considered to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day
or such later date as the Managing Administrative Agent receives the Loan
Request, Interest Rate Election and Payoff Notice therefor and interest thereon
shall be payable by the Company at the then applicable rate during such
extension. If any payment required to be made by the Company hereunder becomes
due and payable on a day other than a Business Day, the due date thereof shall
be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and interest thereon shall be
payable at the then applicable rate during such extension. The Managing
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to debit accounts of the Company
maintained with the Managing Administrative Agent for amounts payable by the
Company under this Agreement through the Managing Administrative Agent and the
Managing Administrative Agent will promptly notify the Company of any such
debit.

                 5(f).....Post-Default Interest. Following the occurrence of an

payable hereunder and under the Fee Letters and computations of each Balance
Bank Discount and Lender Discount shall be based upon a year of 360 days for the

Agent of a Balance Bank Discount, a Lender Discount or interest rate hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding on the Company and the Lenders absent manifest
error.

                 5(h)     Disbursement of Payments Received.

                          (1)      All amounts received by the Managing
Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be disbursed by the
Managing Administrative Agent to the Lenders by wire transfer prior to the
cut-off deadline of the Federal Reserve Wire System on the date of receipt if
received by the Managing Administrative Agent before 11:30&#160;a.m. (Los
Angeles time) and accompanied by a Loan Request, Interest Rate Election and
Payoff Notice (or disbursed on the day of receipt although received later than

Administrative Agent and any Lender) or if received later or if the Managing
Administrative Agent has not received a Loan Request, Interest Rate Election and
Payoff Notice therefor, on the next succeeding Business Day or such later date
as the Managing Administrative Agent receives the Loan Request, Interest Rate
Election and Payoff Notice relating thereto, without interest payable by the
Managing Administrative Agent.

                          (2)      Prior to the occurrence of an Event of
Default and acceleration of the Obligations, amounts received by the Managing
Administrative Agent on account of the Obligations shall be disbursed in

respective Aggregate Percentage Shares, on account of the Obligations (other
than Additional Commitment Negotiated Loans and Obligations relating thereto)

held by it in its capacity as Managing Administrative Agent until such
Obligations have been paid in full.

                 5(i)     Fees. The Company shall pay:

                          (1)      To the Managing Administrative Agent, the
Administrative Agents and the Co-Arrangers such fees as may from time to time be
agreed upon in writing by such Persons and the Company;

                 5(j)     Wire Transfers of Funds. Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein and in the other Credit Documents, funds which the
Managing Administrative Agent and the Lenders are transmitting by wire transfer
shall be deemed to have been sent and received upon release by the transmitting
party of such funds into the Federal Reserve Wire System.

                 5(k)     Reduction in Aggregate Credit Limit. Upon not less
than thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Managing Administrative
Agent, which shall promptly transmit such notice to each of the Lenders, the
Company may permanently reduce the Aggregate Credit Limit in full or in
increments of $5,000,000.00; provided, however, that any such reduction shall be
in a minimum amount of $25,000,000.00; and, provided, further, that upon the
effective date of any such reduction, the aggregate amount of Loans outstanding,
the GNMA Pool Advance Commitment, Outstanding CPNs and outstanding Funding
Checks shall not exceed the Aggregate Credit Limit as so reduced.

may come into the possession of such Agent or any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates.

12(g)....Indemnification by Lenders. The Lenders agree to indemnify and hold
--------------------------

harmless each Agent in its capacity as such ratably in accordance with their
Aggregate Percentage Shares to the extent required by the Company pursuant to
Paragraph 9(m) above if any Agent is not reimbursed by the Company and without
limiting the obligation of the Company to do so. To the extent indemnification
payments made by the Lenders pursuant to this Paragraph&#160;12(g) are
subsequently recovered by any Agent from, or for the account of, the Company,
such Agent will promptly refund such previously paid indemnity payments to the
Lenders. The indemnification obligations of the Lenders under this
Paragraph&#160;12(g) shall survive termination of this Agreement and payment in
full of the Obligations.

12(h)....Agent in Its Individual Capacity. Any Agent and its Affiliates may make
--------------------------------

loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with
the Parent, the Company, or any Subsidiary Guarantor as though such Agent were
not an Agent hereunder. With respect to such loans made or renewed by them and
any note issued to them hereunder, each Agent shall have the same rights and
powers under the Credit Documents as any Lender thereunder and may exercise the
same as though it were not an Agent, and the terms &#147;Lender&#148; and
&#147;Lenders&#148; shall include Agents in their individual capacities.

12(i)....Successor Agents. Any Agent may resign as such under the Credit
Documents ----------------

upon ninety (90) days&#146; prior written notice to the Lenders and the Company
and the Managing Administrative Agent shall resign in the event its Aggregate
Maximum Commitment shall be less than $25,000,000.00. In addition, in the event
any Agent fails to perform its obligations under the Credit Documents in any
material manner and fails to correct its performance within thirty (30) days of
written notice of such failure of performance given by not less than the
Majority Lenders, then such Agent may be removed upon thirty (30) days notice
given by not less than the Majority Lenders. If an Agent shall resign or be so
removed, then, on or before the effective date of such resignation or removal,
the Majority Lenders shall appoint a successor agent reasonably acceptable to
the Company or, if the Majority Lenders are unable to agree on the appointment
of a successor agent, such Agent shall appoint a successor agent for the
Lenders, which successor agent shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company,
whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of
such Agent, and the term &#147;Documentation Agent,&#148; &#147;Co-Syndication
Agent,&#148; &#147;Managing Administrative Agent,&#148; &#147;Administrative
Agent,&#148; or &#147;Other Facility Agent&#148;), as applicable, shall mean
such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Agent&#146;s
rights, powers and duties shall be terminated without any other or further act
or deed on the part of such former Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement
or any of the other Credit Documents or successors thereto. After any
Agent&#146;s resignation or removal hereunder, the provisions of this
Paragraph&#160;12 shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted
to be taken by it while it was Agent under the Credit Documents.

12(j)....Sharing of Set-Offs. If following the occurrence and during the
-------------------

continuance of an Event of Default any Lender (a &#147;benefited Lender&#148;)
shall at any time receive any payment of all or part of the Obligations held by
it or receive any collateral in respect thereof (whether voluntarily or
involuntarily, by set-off or otherwise) in a greater proportion than any such
payment to and collateral received by any other Lender, if any, in respect of
such other Lender&#146;s portion of the Obligations, or interest thereon, such
benefited Lender shall purchase for cash from the other Lenders such portion of
each such other Lender&#146;s Obligations, or shall provide such other Lenders
with the benefits of such collateral, or the proceeds thereof, as shall be
necessary to cause such benefited Lender to share the excess payment or benefits
of such collateral or proceeds ratably with each of the Lenders in accordance
with their respective Aggregate Percentage Shares; provided, however, that if
all or any portion of such excess payment or benefits is thereafter recovered
from such benefited Lender, such purchase shall be rescinded, and the purchase
price and benefits returned, to the extent of such recovery but without
interest. The Company agrees that each Lender so purchasing a portion of another
Lender&#146;s Obligations may exercise all rights of payment (including, without
limitation, rights of set-off) with respect to such portion as fully as if such
Lender were the direct holder of such portion.

13. Miscellaneous Provisions. ------------------------ 13(a)....No Assignment.

14. Additional Lenders; Assignments and Participations; Increases in
Availability.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
14(a)....Addition of New Lender. ---------------------- (1) Subject to the
limitation on the Aggregate Credit Limit set forth

&nbsp; in the definition of such term, the Company or any Lender may at any time
propose that one or more financial institutions (each, an &#147;Applicant
Financial Institution&#148;) become an additional Lender hereunder; provided,
however, that each Applicant Financial Institution shall be an Eligible
Financial Institution. At such time, the Company or such Lender, as applicable,
shall notify the other parties hereto, including the Managing Administrative
Agent, of the identity of such Applicant Financial Institution and such
Applicant Financial Institution&#146;s proposed Aggregate Maximum Commitment
(which in no event shall be less than $10,000,000.00) and, as applicable,

Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share, Short Term Facility Percentage Share,
Multi-Year Swing Line Commitment, Short Term Swing Line Commitment, Multi-Year
Swing Line Percentage Share, Short Term Swing Line Percentage Share and/or GNMA

&nbsp; Agent, in its sole and absolute discretion, and, if but only if there
shall not have occurred and be continuing an Event of Default or Potential
Default, the prior written consent of the Company, such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld, and each of which consents shall be affirmatively given
in writing to the other parties no later than the tenth day following receipt of
request therefor (it being agreed and understood that if such written consent is
not so provided, the consent shall automatically be deemed to have been
withheld);

(ii) If such Applicant Financial Institution will become the

&nbsp; GNMA Pool Advance Lender under this Agreement, such Applicant Financial
Institution shall execute a replacement GNMA Pool Advance Agreement and
cooperate with the current GNMA Pool Advance Lender to effect such intent;

(iii) Delivery of each of the items and the occurrence of each of the events
described in subparagraph (2) below. (2) Assuming delivery of the consent of the
Company and/or Managing

&nbsp; Administrative Agent as required pursuant to subparagraph&#160;(1)(i)
above, the Managing Administrative Agent, the Company and, if such Applicant
Financial Institution will be acquiring a portion of an existing Lender&#146;s
Aggregate Maximum Commitment by way of assignment from such existing Lender,
such existing Lender, shall mutually agree on the Adjustment Date on which such
Applicant Financial Institution shall become a party hereto and a Lender
hereunder. On such Adjustment Date:

(i) The Company shall deliver to the Managing Administrative

&nbsp; Agent and each of the Lenders a Commitment Schedule to be effective as of
such Adjustment Date, reflecting the inclusion of such Applicant Financial
Institution as a party hereto and a Lender hereunder.

(ii) No later than 12:30 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on such

Managing Administrative Agent, as applicable, an amount equal to such Applicant
Financial Institution&#146;s Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share of Multi-Year
Loans outstanding and/or Short Term Facility Percentage Share of Short Term
Loans outstanding. If such Applicant Financial Institution is becoming a Lender
hereunder as a result of an increase in the Aggregate Credit Limit, the Managing
Administrative Agent shall thereupon remit to the Lenders, as applicable, their
shares of such funds. If such Applicant Financial Institution is acquiring a
portion of an existing Lender&#146;s outstanding Loans, the Managing
Administrative Agent shall thereupon remit such funds to the assigning Lender.
Following such Adjustment Date, fees and interest accrued on the Obligations to
but not including such Adjustment Date shall be payable to the Lenders in
accordance with their respective Multi-Year Facility Percentage Shares and Short
Term Facility Percentage Shares prior to such Adjustment Date before giving
effect to the readjustment thereof pursuant to the Commitment Schedule provided
by the Company on such Adjustment Date.

(iii) If such Applicant Financial Institution is acquiring a

&nbsp; portion of an existing Lender&#146;s Aggregate Maximum Commitment by way
of assignment from such existing Lender, the Managing Administrative Agent, the
Company, the assigning Lender and the Applicant Financial Institution shall
execute and deliver an Assignment Agreement, or if such Applicant Financial
Institution is becoming a Lender hereunder as a result of an increase in the
Aggregate Credit Limit, the Managing Administrative Agent, the Company and the
Applicant Financial Institution shall execute and deliver an Additional Lender
Agreement, either of which Assignment Agreement or Additional Lender Agreement
shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement to the extent necessary to
reflect the inclusion of the Applicant Financial Institution as a Lender
hereunder.

(iv) The Applicant Financial Institution shall pay to the Managing
Administrative Agent for its own account a registration fee of $3,500.00.

Subject to the requirements described above, the Applicant Financial Institution
shall become a party hereto and a Lender hereunder and shall be entitled to all

shall be subject to all obligations of a Lender under the Credit Documents.

Lender shall so notify the Managing Administrative Agent and the Company of the
Adjustment Date on which such assignment is to be effective. On such Adjustment
Date:

the Lenders a Commitment Schedule to be effective as of such Adjustment Date
reflecting the assignment. (2) The Managing Administrative Agent, the Company,
the assigning

&nbsp; Lender and the Transferee Lender shall execute and deliver an Assignment
Agreement, which shall constitute an amendment to this Agreement to the extent
necessary to reflect such transfer.

(3) No later than 12:30 p.m. (Los Angeles time) on such Adjustment

&nbsp; Date, the Transferee Lender shall pay to the Managing Administrative
Agent an amount equal to, as applicable, such Transferee Lender&#146;s
Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share and Short Term Facility Percentage Share of
Multi-Year Loans and Short Term Loans, respectively, outstanding in excess of
such Transferee Lender&#146;s previous Multi-Term Facility Percentage Share and
Short Term Facility Percentage Share thereof. The Managing Administrative Agent
shall thereupon remit to the transferring Lender the amount thereof.

(4) If the Transferee Lender will become the GNMA Pool Advance

&nbsp; Lender, such Transferee Lender shall execute a replacement GNMA Pool
Advance Agreement and cooperate with the current GNMA Pool Advance Lender to
effect such intent.

14(c)....Minimum Loan Commitment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
-----------------------

contained herein, the inclusion of any Applicant Financial Institution as a
Lender hereunder pursuant to Paragraph&#160;14(a) above and the assignment by a
Lender of a portion of such Lender&#146;s Aggregate Maximum Commitment to a
Transferee Lender pursuant to Paragraph&#160;14(b) above shall be subject to the
following restrictions:

(1) If an Applicant Financial Institution is acquiring a portion of

continue to hold an Aggregate Maximum Commitment of not less than $10,000,000.00
following the consummation of the contemplated assignment.

There shall be no minimum hold requirement in the event that an existing Lender
is assigning one hundred percent (100%) of its Aggregate Maximum Commitment.

14(d)....Sub-Participations by Lenders. Any Lender may at any time sell
----------------------------- participating interests in any of the Obligations
held by such Lender and its commitments hereunder; provided, however, that: (1)
No participation contemplated by this Paragraph 14(d) shall relieve such Lender
from its obligations hereunder or under any other Credit Document; (2) Such
Lender shall remain solely responsible for the performance of such obligations;
(3) The Company, the Managing Administrative Agent and the other

&nbsp; Lenders shall continue to deal solely and directly with such Lender in
connection with such Lender&#146;s rights and obligations under the Credit
Documents;

(4) The participation agreement between such Lender and the Person

&nbsp; purchasing such participation interest (a &#147;Participant&#148;) shall
provide that: (i)&#160;the participation interest of the Participant is an
undivided interest in such Lender&#146;s Aggregate Maximum Commitment, and
(ii)&#160;the sole voting rights of the Participant are with respect to those
items on which such Lender is entitled to vote pursuant to
Paragraphs&#160;13(b)(2), 13(b)(4), 13(b)(8) and 13(b)(9) above;

(5) Each such participation shall be in the minimum amount of

&nbsp; $5,000,000.00 and after giving effect to any participation permitted by

$25,000,000.00; and

(6) Such Lender shall not enter into participation agreements with more than two
Participants for each $25,000,000.00 of the Aggregate Maximum Commitment held by
such Lender.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that each Participant shall be considered a
Lender for purposes of Paragraphs&#160;4(h), 4(i),&#160;4(j) and 5(l) above;
provided, however, that in no event shall any Participant be entitled to receive
any payment or compensation in excess of that to which such Participant&#146;s
selling Lender would be entitled with respect to the participation interest held
by such Participant if such Lender had not sold any participation interest to
such Participant.

14(e)....Federal Reserve Bank. Notwithstanding the provisions of Paragraphs
14(a) --------------------

and&#160;14(b) above, any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any
portion of such Lender&#146;s rights under this Agreement and the other Credit
Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank.

14(f)....Increases in Availability. From time to time the Company and any Lender
-------------------------

(an &#147;Increasing Lender&#148;) may agree, with the prior written consent of
the Managing Administrative Agent, to permanently or temporarily increase such
Lender&#146;s Aggregate Maximum Commitment and Multi-Year Facility Percentage
Share and/or Short Term Facility Percentage Share, the dollar amount of any such
increase to be, subject to the Maximum Aggregate Credit Limit limitation, in the
minimum dollar amount of $5,000,000.00 and integral multiples of $5,000,000.00
in excess thereof. The Company and the Increasing Lender shall agree on the
Adjustment Date for said increase and, if the increase is a temporary rather
than permanent increase, the date on which said increase shall terminate (the
&#147;Temporary Increase Termination Date&#148;). The Company shall deliver to
the Managing Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders a Commitment Schedule
to be effective as of such Adjustment Date. On the Temporary Increase
Termination Date the aggregate amount of such Increasing Lender&#146;s
Multi-Year Facility Percentage Share of outstanding Multi-Year Loans in excess
of its Maximum Multi-Year Facility Commitment and/or the aggregate amount of
such Increasing Lender&#146;s Short Term Facility Percentage Share of
outstanding Short Term Loans in excess of its Maximum Short Term Facility
Commitment after giving effect to the termination of the subject increase shall,
if but only if at such Temporary Increase Termination Date there does not exist
an Event of Default or Potential Default, be payable in full. If at the
Temporary Increase Termination Date there exists an Event of Default or
Potential Default, the temporary increase of the Increasing Lender shall
continue in effect and, unless otherwise agreed by one hundred percent (100%) of
the Lenders, shall be treated thereafter as a permanent increase in said
Increasing Lender&#146;s Aggregate Maximum Commitment.

14(g)....Provision of Information; Confidentiality. The Company hereby
-----------------------------------------

acknowledges and agrees that in connection with the proposed assignment or
subparticipation by a Lender of its interest in the Obligations, such Lender may
disclose to prospective assignees and Participants any and all information
provided to such Lender hereunder; provided, however, that such information
shall be furnished to such prospective assignees and Participants on a
confidential basis.

_________ THIS PARENT GUARANTY (the &#147;Guaranty&#148;) is made and dated as
of the 17th day of December, 2001 by COUNTRYWIDE CREDIT INDUSTRIES, INC., a
Delaware corporation (&#147;Guarantor&#148;).

RECITALS

_________ A. Pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of
December 17, 2001 among COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a New York corporation
(&#147;Borrower&#148;), the lenders named therein (the &#147;Lenders&#148;),
Bank of America, N.A., as the managing administrative agent to the Lenders (in
such capacity, the &#147;Managing Administrative Agent&#148;), the
Administrative Agents, the Documentation Agent, the Co-Syndication Agents, and
the Other Facility Agents (as amended and extended to date, the &#147;Credit
Agreement,&#148; and with capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein used as
defined in the Glossary attached to the Credit Agreement as Annex I), the
Lenders party thereto agreed to extend credit to Borrower, on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein.

_________ B. As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the Credit
Agreement, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this Guaranty to the
Managing Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

_________ NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and for other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

AGREEMENT

_________ 1. Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the
payment when due, upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of the Obligations,
whether heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or created, whether
voluntary or involuntary and however arising, absolute or contingent, liquidated
or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or not such Obligations are
from time to time reduced, or extinguished and thereafter increased or incurred,
whether Borrower may be liable individually or jointly with others, whether or
not recovery upon such Obligations may be or hereafter become barred by any
statute of limitations, and whether or not such Obligations may be or hereafter
become otherwise invalid or unenforceable.

_________ 2. Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees the payment of
the Obligations whether or not due or payable by Borrower upon: (a)&#160;the
dissolution, insolvency or business failure of, or any assignment for the
benefit of creditors by, or commencement of any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceedings by or against,
Borrower or Guarantor, or (b)&#160;the appointment of a receiver for, or the
attachment, restraint of or making or levying of any order of court or legal
process affecting, the property of Borrower or Guarantor, and unconditionally
promises to pay such Obligations to the Managing Administrative Agent for the
benefit of Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the
United&#160;States.

_________ 3. The liability of Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and independent
of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations, whether executed by
Guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Guarantor hereunder is not
affected or impaired by (a)&#160;any direction of application of payment by
Borrower or by any other party, or (b)&#160;any other guaranty, undertaking or
maximum liability of Guarantor or of any other party as to the Obligations, or
(c)&#160;any payment on or in reduction of any such other guaranty or
undertaking, or (d)&#160;any revocation or release of any obligations of any
other guarantor of the Obligations, or (e)&#160;any dissolution, termination or
increase, decrease or change in personnel of Guarantor, or (f)&#160;any payment
made to Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent on the Obligations which any of
such Persons repay to Borrower pursuant to court order in any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceeding, and
Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or modification of Guarantor&#146;s
obligations hereunder by reason of any such proceeding.

_________ 4. (a) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are independent of the
Obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may be brought and
prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not action is brought against Borrower
and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or actions. Guarantor
waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit of any statute of
limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the enforcement thereof. Any
payment by Borrower or other circumstance which operates to toll any statute of
limitations as to Borrower shall operate to toll the statute of limitations as
to Guarantor.

_________ (b) All payments made by Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be made
without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and without deductions for
any present or future taxes, fees, withholdings or conditions of any nature
(&#147;Taxes&#148;). Guarantor shall pay any such Taxes, including Taxes on any
amounts so paid, and will promptly furnish each Lender with copies of any tax
receipts or such other evidence of payment as Lenders or Managing Administrative
Agent may require.

_________ 5. Guarantor authorizes Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent
(whether or not after termination of this Guaranty), without notice or demand
(except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot be waived), and
without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder, from time to time to
(a)&#160;renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or otherwise change the
time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, Obligations or any part
thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of interest thereon;
(b)&#160;take and hold security for the payment of this Guaranty or the
Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such security;
(c)&#160;apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof as
Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent in their discretion may determine; and
(d)&#160;release or substitute any one or more endorsers, guarantors, Borrower
or other obligors. Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent may without notice
to or the further consent of Borrower or Guarantor assign this Guaranty in whole
or in part to any person acquiring an interest in the Obligations.

_________ 6. It is not necessary for Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent to
inquire into the capacity or power of Borrower or the officers acting or
purporting to act on its behalf, and Obligations made or created in reliance
upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be guaranteed hereunder.

_________ 7. Guarantor waives any right to require Lenders or Managing
Administrative Agent to (a)&#160;proceed against Borrower or any other party;
(b)&#160;proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; or
(c)&#160;pursue any other remedy in Lenders&#146; power whatsoever. Guarantor
waives any personal defense based on or arising out of any personal defense of
Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without
limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Borrower,
or the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof
from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower
other than payment in full of the Obligations. Lenders and Managing
Administrative Agent may, at their election, exercise any right or remedy
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent may have against Borrower, or any
security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor
hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Guarantor waives
any defense arising out of any such election, even though such election operates
to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right
or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower or any security. Guarantor hereby waives
any claim or other rights which Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire
against the Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any of the Obligations
that arise from the existence or performance of the Guarantor&#146;s obligations
under this Guaranty or any other of the Credit Documents (all such claims and
rights being referred to as the &#147;Guarantor&#146;s Conditional
Rights&#148;), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, or any right to
participate in any claim or remedy which the Lenders or Managing Administrative
Agent have against the Borrower or any collateral which the Lenders or Managing
Administrative Agent have or thereafter acquire for the Obligations, whether or
not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or
common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or setoff or in any other manner, payment
or security on account of such claim or other rights. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of
the Guarantor&#146;s Conditional Rights and either (a)&#160;such amount is paid
to the Guarantor at any time when the Obligations shall not have been paid or
performed in full, or (b)&#160;regardless of when such amount is paid to the
Guarantor any payment made by Borrower to the Lenders or Managing Administrative
Agent is at any time determined to be a preferential payment, then such amount
paid to the Guarantor shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner as the
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent shall determine. To the extent that any
of the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be enforceable, the Guarantor
agrees that until such time as the Obligations have been paid and performed in
full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the
Borrower or the Guarantor to the Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent may be
determined to be a preferential payment, the Guarantor&#146;s Conditional Rights
to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to the Lenders&#146; or
Managing Administrative Agent&#146;s right to full payment and performance of
the Obligations and the Guarantor shall not seek to enforce the Guarantor&#146;s
Conditional Rights during such period. Guarantor waives all presentments,
demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation,
notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of
acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring
of new or additional Obligations. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of Borrower&#146;s financial condition and assets,
and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Guarantor
assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither Lenders nor Managing
Administrative Agent shall have any duty to advise Guarantor of information
known to any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

_________ 8. In addition to the Obligations, Guarantor agrees to pay reasonable
attorneys&#146; fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by Lenders and
Managing Administrative Agent in enforcing this Guaranty in any action or
proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Guaranty. This Guaranty and the
liability and obligations of Guarantor hereunder are binding upon Guarantor and
its successors and assigns, and this Guaranty inures to the benefit of and is
enforceable by Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent and their successors,
transferees, and assigns.

_________ 9. No right or power of Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent
hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or conduct on the part
of such Persons, or by any neglect to exercise such right or power, or by any
delay in so doing; and every right or power shall continue in full force and
effect until specifically waived or released by an instrument in writing
executed by Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent.

_________ 10. Guarantor agrees to execute any and all further documents,
instruments and agreements as Managing Administrative Agent from time to time
reasonably requests to evidence Guarantor's obligations hereunder. _________ 11.
(a) Guarantor hereby agrees that it shall not permit its consolidated net worth
determined in accordance with GAAP on and as of each Applicable Financial Test
Date to be less than $2,500,000,000.00.

_________ (b) Guarantor hereby agrees that it will not declare or pay any
dividends upon any shares of Guarantor&#146;s stock now or hereafter
outstanding, except dividends payable in the capital stock or stock rights of
Guarantor, or make any distribution of assets to its stockholders including,
without limitation, pursuant to any stock repurchase, whether in cash, property
or securities; provided, however, that if at the date of such payment or
distribution (both before and after giving effect thereto) there shall not exist
an Event of Default or Potential Default, Guarantor may pay dividends and make
other distributions not later than 120 days after the end of any fiscal quarter
or year, as applicable, in an aggregate amount which does not exceed, when
combined with all prior dividends and other distributions, if any, applicable to
such fiscal year to date, the greater of: (i) the after tax net income of
Guarantor determined in accordance with GAAP for such fiscal year to the date of
the most recently ended fiscal quarter of such fiscal year, and (ii) the
aggregate dollar amount of dividends and other distributions paid during the
immediately preceding year.

_________ 12. Guarantor hereby confirms that all of the representations and
warranties as to the Parent and its Subsidiaries set forth in Paragraph 8 of the
Credit Agreement are accurate and complete and are incorporated herein by this
reference.

_________ 13. This Guaranty shall be deemed to be made under and shall be
governed by the laws of the State of California.

_________ 14. If any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall contravene or be
held invalid under the laws of any jurisdiction, this Guaranty shall be
construed as if not containing those provisions and the rights and obligations
of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

_________ Executed as of the day and year first above written.

THIS PARENT SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (the "Subordination Agreement") is made and
dated as of the 17th day of December, 2001 by and among BANK OF AMERICA, N.A.,

("Borrower"), and COUNTRYWIDE CREDIT INDUSTRIES, INC., a Delaware corporation
("Creditor").

RECITALS

Pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 17,
2001 (as amended, extended or replaced from time to time, the "Credit

Agent, the Other Facility Agents, and the Lenders from time to time party
thereto, the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to Borrower on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein, including, without limitation, the
condition that Creditor execute and deliver to Lenders: (a) a continuing

and (b) this Subordination Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
above Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

AGREEMENT

1._______Creditor has extended and will in the future extend credit to Borrower
from time to time. The principal of all now existing and hereafter arising
Indebtedness of Borrower to Creditor together with accrued but unpaid interest
thereon is hereinafter referred to as the "Claim". 2._______Creditor is the sole
and absolute owner of the Claim and has not sold, assigned, transferred or
otherwise disposed of any right it may have to repayment of the Claim or any
security therefor. 3._______The Claim and all rights and remedies of Creditor
with respect thereto and any lien securing payment thereof are and shall
continue to be subject, subordinate and rendered junior in right of payment to
the Obligations, as the same may be extended, amended or replaced from time to
time; provided, however, that unless and until there shall occur an Event of
Default or Potential Default under the Credit Agreement, Borrower may make and
Creditor may receive payments on account of the Claim as follows: (a) interest
accruing on Double Level Subordinated Parent Debt at a per annum rate not to
exceed ten percent (10%), (b) interest accruing on the principal of all other
Indebtedness at a per annum rate not to exceed the pre-default rate of interest
payable on account of Indebtedness of the Parent the proceeds of which were lent
by the Parent to Borrower and constitute the "Indebtedness" of Borrower to the
Parent as to which such interest is being paid, and (c) principal outstanding on
such Indebtedness. 4._______Unless and until the Obligations shall have been
fully and indefeasibly paid and discharged in cash or cash equivalents and any
agreement by Lenders to make further Loans to Borrower or otherwise extend
credit to Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement shall have terminated,
except as expressly permitted pursuant to Paragraph 3 above:

___________________________(a) Borrower will not make or give, and Creditor will
not receive, directly or indirectly, any payment, advance, credit or further
security of any kind whatsoever on account of the Claim, or any new or further
evidence thereof;

___________________________(b) Creditor will not sell, assign, transfer, dispose
of or endorse the Claim or any part or evidence thereof;

___________________________(c) Creditor will pay to Managing Administrative
Agent for the pro rata benefit of Lenders in accordance with their respective
Aggregate Percentage Shares promptly upon receipt, for application against the
Obligations, any and all amounts which may be received by Creditor on account of
the Claim in excess of amounts permitted under Paragraph&#160;3 above and until
such amounts are paid to Managing Administrative Agent the same shall be held in
trust for the benefit of Lenders, segregated from other funds and property held
by Creditor; and

___________________________(d) Creditor will not take, or permit any action to
be taken, to assert, collect or enforce the Claim or any part thereof.
5._______Each of Borrower and Creditor waives notice of acceptance of this
Subordination Agreement by Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent, and
Creditor waives notice of and consents to the making, amount and terms of any
loan or loans which any of Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent may from
time to time make to Borrower and any renewal or extension thereof and any
action which any of Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent in their sole and
absolute discretion may take or omit to take with respect thereto. 6._______This
Subordination Agreement shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination
and Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent may, from time to time and without
notice to Creditor, lend money to or make other financial arrangements with
Borrower in reliance hereon until written notice of termination shall be
delivered by Creditor to the Managing Administrative Agent, by certified mail,
return receipt requested. The receipt by the Managing Administrative Agent of
such notice shall not affect this Subordination Agreement as it relates to any
Obligations then existing, to any Obligations incurred thereafter pursuant to a
previous commitment by Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent or to any
amendments to, or extensions or renewals of, any such Obligations. 7._______Each
of Creditor and Borrower acknowledges that the failure of Creditor or Borrower
to observe or perform the terms and provisions hereof or the attempt by Creditor
to rescind or revoke this Subordination Agreement shall constitute an Event of
Default under the Credit Agreement and may result in acceleration of the
Obligations. 8._______Creditor agrees as follows:

___________________________(a) Upon any distribution of the assets of Borrower
to creditors of Borrower upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation,
arrangement, or reorganization of Borrower, whether in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or receivership proceeding or upon an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets
and liabilities of Borrower or otherwise, any payment or distribution of any
kind (whether in cash, property or securities) which otherwise would be payable
or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claim shall be paid or delivered
directly to Managing Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders for
application (in the case of cash) to, or as collateral (in the case of non-cash
property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Obligations until
the Obligations shall have been paid in full.

___________________________(b) If any proceeding referred to in subsection (a)
above is commenced by or against Borrower: (1) Lenders and Managing
Administrative Agent are hereby irrevocably

&nbsp; authorized and empowered (in their own names or in the name of Creditor
or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and
receive every payment or distribution referred to in subsection (a) above and
give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such
other action (including, without limitation, voting the Claim or enforcing any
security interest or other lien securing payment of the Claim) as they may deem
necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or
interests of Lenders hereunder; and

(2) Creditor shall duly and promptly take such action as Lenders and

&nbsp; Managing Administrative Agent may request (i) to collect the Claim for
account of Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect
of the Claim, (ii) to execute and deliver to Lenders and Managing Administrative
Agent such powers of attorney, assignments, and other instruments as they may
request in order to enable them to enforce any and all claims with respect to,
and any security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Claim, and
(iii) to collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be
payable or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claim.

___________________________(c) All payments or distributions upon or with
respect to the Claim which are received by Creditor contrary to the provisions
of this Subordination Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Lenders, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by Creditor and
shall be forthwith paid over to Lenders, through the Managing Administrative
Agent, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be
applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash
property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Obligations.

___________________________(d) Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent are
hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Subordination
Agreement, whether or not Borrower shall have complied with any or all of the
provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when the Creditor shall have
failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Subordination Agreement
applicable to it.

9._______It is the intent of Creditor to create by this Subordination Agreement
a security interest in favor of Managing Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Lenders in the Claim and in Creditor's rights to receive money or other property
from Borrower on account thereof, whether such rights shall constitute accounts,
contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, general intangibles or otherwise.
Creditor hereby grants to Managing Administrative Agent and Lenders a security
interest in the Claim and such rights of receipt in order to secure the payment
and performance of the Creditor's obligations pursuant to this Subordination
Agreement. 10.______Creditor authorizes Lenders and Managing Administrative
Agent (whether or not after revocation of this Subordination Agreement), without
notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
be waived), and without affecting or impairing Creditor's obligations hereunder,
from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the
Obligations or any part thereof, including without limitation to increase or
decrease the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the
payment of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such
security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof
as Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent in their sole discretion may
determine; and (d) release and substitute any one or more endorsers, warrantors,
Borrower or other obligors. Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent may
without notice to or the further consent of Borrower or Creditor assign this
Subordination Agreement in whole or in part to any Person acquiring an interest
in the Obligations. 11.______This Subordination Agreement shall extend to and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.
12.______This Subordination Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement and any
party hereto may execute this Subordination Agreement by signing any such
counterpart. 13.______This Subordination Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving
effect to its choice of law rules. [Signature page following] Executed as of the

is made and dated as of the ___ day of ____________, 200_ by
_____________________________, a ________________________
(&#147;Guarantor&#148;).

RECITALS

__________________A._______Pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement
dated as of December 17, 2001 among COUNTRYWIDE HOME LOANS, INC., a New York
corporation (&#147;Borrower&#148;), the lenders named therein (the
&#147;Lenders&#148;), Bank of America, N.A., as the managing administrative
agent to the Lenders (in such capacity, the &#147;Managing Administrative
Agent&#148;), the Administrative Agents, the Documentation Agent, the
Co-Syndication Agents, and the Other Facility Agents (as amended and extended to
date, the &#147;Credit Agreement,&#148; and with capitalized terms not otherwise
defined herein used as defined in the Glossary attached to the Credit Agreement
as Annex I), the Lenders party thereto agreed to extend credit to Borrower, on
the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein.

__________________B._______As a condition precedent to the effectiveness of the
Credit Agreement, the Guarantor is required to execute and deliver this Guaranty
to the Managing Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Lenders.

__________________NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above Recitals and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are
hereby acknowledged, Guarantor hereby agrees as follows:

AGREEMENT

__________________1._______Guarantor hereby irrevocably and unconditionally
guarantees the payment when due, upon maturity, acceleration or otherwise, of
the Obligations, whether heretofore, now, or hereafter made, incurred or
created, whether voluntary or involuntary and however arising, absolute or
contingent, liquidated or unliquidated, determined or undetermined, whether or
not such Obligations are from time to time reduced, or extinguished and
thereafter increased or incurred, whether Borrower may be liable individually or
jointly with others, whether or not recovery upon such Obligations may be or
hereafter become barred by any statute of limitations, and whether or not such
Obligations may be or hereafter become otherwise invalid or unenforceable.

__________________2._______Guarantor irrevocably and unconditionally guarantees
the payment of the Obligations whether or not due or payable by Borrower upon:
(a)&#160;the dissolution, insolvency or business failure of, or any assignment
for the benefit of creditors by, or commencement of any bankruptcy,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other debtor relief proceedings by or
against, Borrower or Guarantor, or (b)&#160;the appointment of a receiver for,
or the attachment, restraint of or making or levying of any order of court or
legal process affecting, the property of Borrower or Guarantor, and
unconditionally promises to pay such Obligations to the Managing Administrative
Agent for the benefit of Lenders, or order, on demand, in lawful money of the
United&#160;States.

__________________3._______The liability of Guarantor hereunder is exclusive and
independent of any security for or other guaranty of the Obligations, whether
executed by Guarantor or by any other party, and the liability of Guarantor
hereunder is not affected or impaired by (a)&#160;any direction of application
of payment by Borrower or by any other party, or (b)&#160;any other guaranty,
undertaking or maximum liability of Guarantor or of any other party as to the
Obligations, or (c)&#160;any payment on or in reduction of any such other
guaranty or undertaking, or (d)&#160;any revocation or release of any
obligations of any other guarantor of the Obligations, or (e)&#160;any
dissolution, termination or increase, decrease or change in personnel of
Guarantor, or (f)&#160;any payment made to Lenders or Managing Administrative
Agent on the Obligations which any of such Persons repay to Borrower pursuant to
court order in any bankruptcy, reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other
debtor relief proceeding, and Guarantor waives any right to the deferral or
modification of Guarantor&#146;s obligations hereunder by reason of any such
proceeding.

__________________4._______(a) The obligations of Guarantor hereunder are
independent of the Obligations of Borrower, and a separate action or actions may
be brought and prosecuted against Guarantor whether or not action is brought
against Borrower and whether or not Borrower is joined in any such action or
actions. Guarantor waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the benefit
of any statute of limitations affecting its liability hereunder or the
enforcement thereof. Any payment by Borrower or other circumstance which
operates to toll any statute of limitations as to Borrower shall operate to toll
the statute of limitations as to Guarantor.

___________________________(b) All payments made by Guarantor under this
Guaranty shall be made without set-off or counterclaim and free and clear of and
without deductions for any present or future taxes, fees, withholdings or
conditions of any nature (&#147;Taxes&#148;). Guarantor shall pay any such
Taxes, including Taxes on any amounts so paid, and will promptly furnish each
Lender with copies of any tax receipts or such other evidence of payment as
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent may require.

__________________5._______Guarantor authorizes Lenders and Managing
Administrative Agent (whether or not after termination of this Guaranty),
without notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and
cannot be waived), and without affecting or impairing its liability hereunder,
from time to time to (a)&#160;renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of,
Obligations or any part thereof, including increase or decrease of the rate of
interest thereon; (b)&#160;take and hold security for the payment of this
Guaranty or the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such
security; (c)&#160;apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale
thereof as Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent in their discretion may
determine; and (d)&#160;release or substitute any one or more endorsers,
guarantors, Borrower or other obligors. Lenders and Managing Administrative
Agent may without notice to or the further consent of Borrower or Guarantor
assign this Guaranty in whole or in part to any person acquiring an interest in
the Obligations.

__________________6._______It is not necessary for Lenders or Managing
Administrative Agent to inquire into the capacity or power of Borrower or the
officers acting or purporting to act on its behalf, and Obligations made or
created in reliance upon the professed exercise of such powers shall be
guaranteed hereunder.

__________________7._______Guarantor waives any right to require Lenders or
Managing Administrative Agent to (a)&#160;proceed against Borrower or any other
party; (b)&#160;proceed against or exhaust any security held from Borrower; or
(c)&#160;pursue any other remedy in Lenders&#146; power whatsoever. Guarantor
waives any personal defense based on or arising out of any personal defense of
Borrower other than payment in full of the Obligations, including, without
limitation, any defense based on or arising out of the disability of Borrower,
or the invalidity or unenforceability of the Obligations or any part thereof
from any cause, or the cessation from any cause of the liability of Borrower
other than payment in full of the Obligations. Lenders and Managing
Administrative Agent may, at their election, exercise any right or remedy
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent may have against Borrower, or any
security, without affecting or impairing in any way the liability of Guarantor
hereunder except to the extent the Obligations have been paid. Guarantor waives
any defense arising out of any such election, even though such election operates
to impair or extinguish any right of reimbursement or subrogation or other right
or remedy of Guarantor against Borrower or any security. Guarantor hereby waives
any claim or other rights which Guarantor may now have or may hereafter acquire
against the Borrower or any other guarantor of all or any of the Obligations
that arise from the existence or performance of the Guarantor&#146;s obligations
under this Guaranty or any other of the Credit Documents (all such claims and
rights being referred to as the &#147;Guarantor&#146;s Conditional
Rights&#148;), including, without limitation, any right of subrogation,
reimbursement, exoneration, contribution, or indemnification, or any right to
participate in any claim or remedy which the Lenders or Managing Administrative
Agent have against the Borrower or any collateral which the Lenders or Managing
Administrative Agent have or thereafter acquire for the Obligations, whether or
not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or
common law, by any payment made hereunder or otherwise, including, without
limitation, the right to take or receive from the Borrower, directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or setoff or in any other manner, payment
or security on account of such claim or other rights. If, notwithstanding the
foregoing provisions, any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor on account of
the Guarantor&#146;s Conditional Rights and either (a)&#160;such amount is paid
to the Guarantor at any time when the Obligations shall not have been paid or
performed in full, or (b)&#160;regardless of when such amount is paid to the
Guarantor any payment made by Borrower to the Lenders or Managing Administrative
Agent is at any time determined to be a preferential payment, then such amount
paid to the Guarantor shall be deemed to be held in trust for the benefit of the
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent and shall forthwith be paid to the
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent to be credited and applied upon the
Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order and manner as the
Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent shall determine. To the extent that any
of the provisions of this Paragraph shall not be enforceable, the Guarantor
agrees that until such time as the Obligations have been paid and performed in
full and the period of time has expired during which any payment made by the
Borrower or the Guarantor to the Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent may be
determined to be a preferential payment, the Guarantor&#146;s Conditional Rights
to the extent not validly waived shall be subordinate to the Lenders&#146; or
Managing Administrative Agent&#146;s right to full payment and performance of
the Obligations and the Guarantor shall not seek to enforce the Guarantor&#146;s
Conditional Rights during such period. Guarantor waives all presentments,
demands for performance, protests and notices, including, without limitation,
notices of nonperformance, notices of protest, notices of dishonor, notices of
acceptance of this Guaranty, and notices of the existence, creation or incurring
of new or additional Obligations. Guarantor assumes all responsibility for being
and keeping itself informed of Borrower&#146;s financial condition and assets,
and of all other circumstances bearing upon the risk of nonpayment of the
Obligations and the nature, scope and extent of the risks which Guarantor
assumes and incurs hereunder, and agrees that neither Lenders nor Managing
Administrative Agent shall have any duty to advise Guarantor of information
known to any of them regarding such circumstances or risks.

__________________8._______In addition to the Obligations, Guarantor agrees to
pay reasonable attorneys&#146; fees and all other costs and expenses incurred by
Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent in enforcing this Guaranty in any
action or proceeding arising out of, or relating to, this Guaranty. This
Guaranty and the liability and obligations of Guarantor hereunder are binding
upon Guarantor and its successors and assigns, and this Guaranty inures to the
benefit of and is enforceable by Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent and
their successors, transferees, and assigns.

__________________9._______No right or power of Lenders or Managing
Administrative Agent hereunder shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or
conduct on the part of such Persons, or by any neglect to exercise such right or
power, or by any delay in so doing; and every right or power shall continue in
full force and effect until specifically waived or released by an instrument in
writing executed by Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent.

__________________10.______Guarantor agrees to execute any and all further
documents, instruments and agreements as Managing Administrative Agent from time
to time reasonably requests to evidence Guarantor's obligations hereunder.

__________________11.______Guarantor hereby confirms that all of the
representations and warranties as to Guarantor set forth in Paragraph 8 of the
Credit Agreement are accurate and complete and are incorporated herein by this
reference.

__________________12.______This Guaranty shall be deemed to be made under and
shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.

__________________13.______If any of the provisions of this Guaranty shall
contravene or be held invalid under the laws of any jurisdiction, this Guaranty
shall be construed as if not containing those provisions and the rights and
obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and enforced accordingly.

THIS SUBSIDIARY GUARANTOR SUBORDINATION AGREEMENT (the "Subordination

RECITALS

Pursuant to that certain Revolving Credit Agreement dated as of December 17,
2001 (as amended, extended or replaced from time to time, the "Credit
Agreement," and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein used with the
meaning given such terms in the Glossary attached to the Credit Agreement as
Annex I) by and among the Company, the Managing Administrative Agent, the
Administrative agents, the ------- Co-Syndication Agents, the Documentation
Agent, the Other Facility Agents, and the Lenders from time to time party
thereto, the Lenders have agreed to extend credit to Borrower on the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth therein, including, without limitation, the
condition that Creditor execute and deliver to Lenders: (a) a continuing
guaranty of the Obligations of Borrower to Lenders under the Credit Documents,
and (b) this Subordination Agreement. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
above Recitals and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:

AGREEMENT

1._______Creditor has either extended and/or may in the future extend credit to
Borrower from time to time. The principal of all now existing and hereafter
arising Indebtedness of Borrower to Creditor together with accrued but unpaid
interest thereon is hereinafter referred to as the "Claim". 2._______Creditor is
the sole and absolute owner of the Claim and has not sold, assigned, transferred
or otherwise disposed of any right it may have to repayment of the Claim or any
security therefor. 3._______The Claim and all rights and remedies of Creditor
with respect thereto and any lien securing payment thereof are and shall
continue to be subject, subordinate and rendered junior in right of payment to
the Obligations, as the same may be extended, amended or replaced from time to
time; provided, however, that unless and until there shall occur an Event of
Default or Potential Default under the Credit Agreement, Borrower may make and
Creditor may receive payments on account of the Claim as follows: (a) interest
accruing on the principal of all Indebtedness at a per annum rate not to exceed
the pre-default rate of interest payable on account of Indebtedness of the
Creditor the proceeds of which were lent by the Creditor to Borrower and
constitute the "Indebtedness" of Borrower to the Creditor as to which such
interest is being paid, and (b) principal outstanding on such Indebtedness.
4._______Unless and until the Obligations shall have been fully and indefeasibly
paid and discharged in cash or cash equivalents and any agreement by Lenders to
make further Loans to Borrower or otherwise extend credit to Borrower pursuant
to the Credit Agreement shall have terminated, except as expressly permitted
pursuant to Paragraph 3 above:

___________________________(a) Borrower will not make or give, and Creditor will
not receive, directly or indirectly, any payment, advance, credit or further
security of any kind whatsoever on account of the Claim, or any new or further
evidence thereof;

___________________________(b) Creditor will not sell, assign, transfer, dispose
of or endorse the Claim or any part or evidence thereof;

___________________________(c) Creditor will pay to Managing Administrative
Agent for the pro rata benefit of Lenders in accordance with their respective
Aggregate Percentage Shares promptly upon receipt, for application against the
Obligations, any and all amounts which may be received by Creditor on account of
the Claim in excess of amounts permitted under Paragraph&#160;3 above and until
such amounts are paid to Managing Administrative Agent the same shall be held in
trust for the benefit of Lenders, segregated from other funds and property held
by Creditor; and

___________________________(d) Creditor will not take, or permit any action to
be taken, to assert, collect or enforce the Claim or any part thereof.
5._______Each of Borrower and Creditor waives notice of acceptance of this
Subordination Agreement by Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent, and
Creditor waives notice of and consents to the making, amount and terms of any
loan or loans which any of Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent may from
time to time make to Borrower and any renewal or extension thereof and any
action which any of Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent in their sole and
absolute discretion may take or omit to take with respect thereto. 6._______This
Subordination Agreement shall constitute a continuing agreement of subordination
and Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent may, from time to time and without
notice to Creditor, lend money to or make other financial arrangements with
Borrower in reliance hereon until written notice of termination shall be
delivered by Creditor to the Managing Administrative Agent, by certified mail,
return receipt requested. The receipt by the Managing Administrative Agent of
such notice shall not affect this Subordination Agreement as it relates to any
Obligations then existing, to any Obligations incurred thereafter pursuant to a
previous commitment by Lenders or Managing Administrative Agent or to any
amendments to, or extensions or renewals of, any such Obligations. 7._______Each
of Creditor and Borrower acknowledges that the failure of Creditor or Borrower
to observe or perform the terms and provisions hereof or the attempt by Creditor
to rescind or revoke this Subordination Agreement shall constitute an Event of
Default under the Credit Agreement and may result in acceleration of the
Obligations. 8._______Creditor agrees as follows:

___________________________(a) Upon any distribution of the assets of Borrower
to creditors of Borrower upon the dissolution, winding up, liquidation,
arrangement, or reorganization of Borrower, whether in any bankruptcy,
insolvency, arrangement, reorganization or receivership proceeding or upon an
assignment for the benefit of creditors or any other marshalling of the assets
and liabilities of Borrower or otherwise, any payment or distribution of any
kind (whether in cash, property or securities) which otherwise would be payable
or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claim shall be paid or delivered
directly to Managing Administrative Agent for the benefit of Lenders for
application (in the case of cash) to, or as collateral (in the case of non-cash
property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Obligations until
the Obligations shall have been paid in full.

___________________________(b) If any proceeding referred to in subsection (a)
above is commenced by or against Borrower: (1) Lenders and Managing
Administrative Agent are hereby irrevocably

&nbsp; authorized and empowered (in their own names or in the name of Creditor
or otherwise), but shall have no obligation, to demand, sue for, collect and
receive every payment or distribution referred to in subsection (a) above and
give acquittance therefor and to file claims and proofs of claim and take such
other action (including, without limitation, voting the Claim or enforcing any
security interest or other lien securing payment of the Claim) as they may deem
necessary or advisable for the exercise or enforcement of any of the rights or
interests of Lenders hereunder; and

(2) Creditor shall duly and promptly take such action as Lenders and

  Managing Administrative Agent may request (i) to collect the Claim for account
of Lenders and to file appropriate claims or proofs of claim in respect of the
Claim, (ii) to execute and deliver to Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent
such powers of attorney, assignments, and other instruments as they may request
in order to enable them to enforce any and all claims with respect to, and any
security interests and other liens securing payment of, the Claim, and (iii) to
collect and receive any and all payments or distributions which may be payable
or deliverable upon or with respect to the Claim.

___________________________(c) All payments or distributions upon or with
respect to the Claim which are received by Creditor contrary to the provisions
of this Subordination Agreement shall be received in trust for the benefit of
Lenders, shall be segregated from other funds and property held by Creditor and
shall be forthwith paid over to Lenders, through the Managing Administrative
Agent, in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement) to be
applied (in the case of cash) to, or held as collateral (in the case of non-cash
property or securities) for, the payment or prepayment of the Obligations.

___________________________(d) Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent are
hereby authorized to demand specific performance of this Subordination
Agreement, whether or not Borrower shall have complied with any or all of the
provisions hereof applicable to it, at any time when the Creditor shall have
failed to comply with any of the provisions of this Subordination Agreement
applicable to it.

9._______It is the intent of Creditor to create by this Subordination Agreement
a security interest in favor of Managing Administrative Agent for the benefit of
Lenders in the Claim and in Creditor's rights to receive money or other property
from Borrower on account thereof, whether such rights shall constitute accounts,
contract rights, chattel paper, instruments, general intangibles or otherwise.
Creditor hereby grants to Managing Administrative Agent and Lenders a security
interest in the Claim and such rights of receipt in order to secure the payment
and performance of the Creditor's obligations pursuant to this Subordination
Agreement. 10.______Creditor authorizes Lenders and Managing Administrative
Agent (whether or not after revocation of this Subordination Agreement), without
notice or demand (except as shall be required by applicable statute and cannot
be waived), and without affecting or impairing Creditor's obligations hereunder,
from time to time to (a) renew, compromise, extend, increase, accelerate or
otherwise change the time for payment of, or otherwise change the terms of, the
Obligations or any part thereof, including without limitation to increase or
decrease the rate of interest thereon; (b) take and hold security for the
payment of the Obligations and exchange, enforce, waive and release any such
security; (c) apply such security and direct the order or manner of sale thereof
as Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent in their sole discretion may
determine; and (d) release and substitute any one or more endorsers, warrantors,
Borrower or other obligors. Lenders and Managing Administrative Agent may
without notice to or the further consent of Borrower or Creditor assign this
Subordination Agreement in whole or in part to any Person acquiring an interest
in the Obligations. 11.______This Subordination Agreement shall extend to and be
binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties hereto.
12.______This Subordination Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts all of which taken together shall constitute one agreement and any
party hereto may execute this Subordination Agreement by signing any such
counterpart. 13.______This Subordination Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without giving
effect to its choice of law rules. [Signature page following] Executed as of the
day and year first above written.
