Dear Sirs,




The purpose of this letter is to confirm the terms and conditions of the transaction entered into
between Franklin Credit Management Corporation (‘Counterparty’) and Huntington National Bank on the
Trade Date specified below (the ‘Transaction’). This letter constitutes a ‘Confirmation’ as
referred to in the ISDA Master Agreement specified below.



If Franklin Credit Management Corporation and Huntington National Bank are not yet parties to an
ISDA Master Agreement, (1) you and we agree to use all reasonable efforts promptly to negotiate,
execute and deliver an agreement in the form of the ISDA Master Agreement (Local Currency — Single
Jurisdiction) (the “ISDA Form,” which term shall









 




 



include our standard Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement) with such modifications as you and we
will in good faith agree, (2) this Confirmation, together with all other documents confirming
transactions entered into between us from time to time and referring to the ISDA Form, shall
supplement, form a part of, and be subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA Form as if we
had executed an agreement in such form (including our standard Schedule) on the Trade Date of this
Transaction, and (3) this Confirmation and the ISDA Master Agreement will together evidence a
complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms and conditions of the Swap
Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, until such time as you and we negotiate and execute
such an agreement. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the ISDA Form and
this Confirmation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of this Swap Transaction. Upon
the execution by you and us of such an agreement, this Confirmation shall supplement, form a part
of, and be subject to that agreement (the “Agreement”).



This facsimile transmission will be the only written communication regarding this Swap Transaction
exchanged between us and will be deemed for all purposes an original document, unless you request
that we sign hard copy versions of this Confirmation. Please contact the individual indicated in
the last paragraph of this letter to receive such copies.



The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (as published by the
International Swap Dealers Association, Inc) are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event
of any inconsistency between those definitions and provisions and this Confirmation, this
Confirmation will govern.



Each Party hereto represents and warrants to the other party hereto that, in connection with the
Transaction, (i) it has consulted and will continue to consult with its own legal, regulatory, tax,
business, investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent it deems necessary, and it
has made and will continue to make its own investment, hedging and trading decisions (including
without limitations decisions regarding the appropriateness and/or suitability of the Transaction)
based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it deems necessary, and not
in reliance upon the other party hereto or any of its branches, subsidiaries or affiliates or any
of their respective officers, directors or employees, or any view expressed by any of them, (ii) it
has evaluated and it fully understands all the terms, conditions and risks of the Transaction, and
it is capable of assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) all such risks, (iii)
it has and will continue to act as principal, and not agent of any person, and the other party
hereto and its branches, subsidiaries and affiliates have not and will not be acting as a fiduciary
or financial, investment, commodity trading or other advisor to it, and (iv) it is entering into
the Transaction for purposes of hedging its assets or liabilities or in connection with a line of
business, and not for the purpose of speculation.



In addition, this Confirmation will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New York, without reference to choice of law doctrine, provided that this provision will
be superseded by any choice of law provision in the Agreement.



1. This Confirmation supplements, forms part of, and is subject to, the ISDA Master Agreement as
amended and supplemented from time to time (the ‘Agreement’) between you and us. All
