cause to be delivered, the missing or necessary documents to the Bank as soon as reasonably practical after receipt of notice of any document deficiency.

the full and timely payment and satisfaction of all of the Borrower’s obligations hereunder and under the Master Promissory Note, or under any other note or agreement with the Bank, in all cases as and when due. Items released in writing by
Bank from time to time from the lien of this Agreement shall no longer be considered Collateral hereunder. But this assignment is made for the purpose of securing an indebtedness of the Borrower to the Bank, and it is a condition hereof that in the
event the Borrower should well and fully perform all its duties, both direct and indirect, as obligor under this Agreement and the Master Promissory Note heretofore executed, together with any and all other obligations of Borrower, this assignment
shall be void. But in the event of any default by Borrower in any obligation to the Bank or under any other agreement or promissory note, then, and in such event, Bank shall have all rights accorded Borrower under such documents, and Bank may take
and receive ail payment under the Mortgage Note(s) and other Collateral assigned hereby and any and all proceeds or product thereof, and take any legal action in respect of such Collateral as the Borrower might absent this assignment. This
assignment constitutes a pledge and creates and grants and Borrower hereby creates and grants to Bank a security interest, under the terms of the Uniform Commercial Code in the above described Collateral and all remedies afforded by the Uniform
Commercial Code for default are hereby granted unto the Bank. Furthermore, the pledge created hereunder may be perfected by the delivery of the Mortgage Notes to a third party as bailee and failure of Bank to have physical possession thereof shall
not in such event invalidate this pledge or its perfection, if such bailee is given notice of this assignment. 

 

	 	2.8.2	 	Collateral Assignments. Notwithstanding the security interest granted by Borrower to Bank in the Collateral, Borrower understands and agrees that should Bank
request such in writing, Borrower will execute and deliver to its Closing Agent(s) for subsequent delivery to Bank, a separate Collateral Assignment of Notes, Deeds of Trust/Mortgages and Security Agreement with respect to each Eligible Mortgage
Loan to be funded, in whole or in part with an Advance or Advances hereunder. Borrower also will execute and deliver with this Agreement a separate Collateral Assignment of Contract Rights and Security Agreement with respect to each Qualified
Investor to which it will sell Eligible Mortgage Loans funded, in whole or in part hereunder, and for each new Qualified Investor with which Borrower contracts hereafter to sell Eligible Mortgage Loans to be funded, in whole or in part hereunder.
Notwithstanding the fact that separate instruments will be used, the security interests granted herein shall be in addition to the security interests granted in each such document, and not in substitution or cancellation thereof, so that Bank’s
security interest in the Collateral shall be construed and expanded to the fullest extent possible. 

 

	 	2.8.3.	 	Collateral Documentation. Borrower covenants and agrees to deliver to Bank such assignments, pledges deeds, financing statements, consents, bailments, and
other instruments, documents and agreements as Bank or its counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to evidence, confirm, effect or perfect any security interest granted or required to be granted under this Agreement, the Master Promissory Note, or
any other instrument or agreement as may be acceptable to Bank. Borrower hereby irrevocably authorizes the Bank in its discretion: (i) to file without the signature of the Borrower any and all financing statements, modifications and continuations in
respect to the Collateral and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (ii) to sign any such statement, modification or continuation on behalf of the Borrower if the Bank deems such signature necessary or desirable under applicable law and
(iii) to file a carbon, photographic or other reproduction of any financing statement or modification if the Bank deems such filing necessary or desirable under applicable law provided that so long as no Event of Default is then continuing, the Bank
shall accord the Borrower an opportunity to review and sign any proposed financing statement or modification (but not continuation), with the Bank exercising its authority hereunder to sign on behalf of the Borrower if the Borrower has not signed
within a reasonable period of time (not to exceed 30 days) and provided further that the failure to send any such copy for review or signature shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such signature and filing by the Bank. The Borrower
shall promptly reimburse the Bank for all costs and expenses incurred in            , connection with the preparation and filing of any such document, including, but not limited to, stamp
taxes, recording taxes; privilege taxes, and filing fees. The Bank shall send a copy of any such filing to the Borrower provided, however, that the failure to send that copy shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any such filing. The
Bank shall not be liable for any mistake in or failure to file any financing statement, modification or continuation. 

 

	 	2.8.4.	 	Right of Setoff. Borrower acknowledges that in addition to the Collateral which Borrower has pledged to Bank to secure its obligations to the Bank pursuant to
this Agreement, and any other borrowings, Bank shall have such other or additional liens and rights as may be available, including, but not limited to, the right of setoff against all of Borrower’s right, title and interest in and to the
balance of every deposit account of Borrower at

	 	  	 	Bank, now or at anytime hereafter existing. Bank shall have a right to offset any amounts owed by the Borrower under this Agreement and/or the Master Promissory Note
against amounts held in every deposit account of the Borrower at the Bank. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that in addition to such other rights as Bank may have, and not by way of limitation, should Bank in good faith ever deem itself to be
insecure at any time in relation to any obligations of Borrower to Bank, whether arising in connection with this Agreement or otherwise, any and all obligations and liabilities of Borrower to Bank shall become due and payable forthwith without
notice or demand and Borrower hereby expressly authorizes Bank to apply any balance of deposits and any sums credited by or due from Bank to Borrower in general account or otherwise,, to the payment of any and all obligations and liabilities of

and any and all contract rights with respect to the related Lock. Borrower acknowledges and understands, however, that any release under this section is not intended to nor shall it be construed as a release of any security interest Bank may have in

	  	 June 28, 2002

	 	  	 Memphis, Tennessee


 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the
undersigned (“Borrower”) (jointly and severally if more than one) promises to pay to the order of First Tennessee Bank, Memphis, Tennessee (“Bank”), or to the order of any subsequent holder hereof, in lawful money of the United
States of America, the principal sum of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances pursuant to that certain Mortgage Warehouse Loan Agreement of even date herewith (“Agreement”) between the undersigned and the Bank, together
with interest thereon at the rate hereinafter specified from the Funding Date of each advance. The maximum aggregate unpaid principal amount of all advances pursuant to the Agreement shall be $20,000,000.00 unless the Bank, in its sole
discretion, honors Borrower requests for aggregate advances in excess of $20,000,000.00. 
 
Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning defined within the Agreement. 
 
Subject to the limitations hereinafter set forth, the disbursed and unpaid principal balances of the indebtedness evidenced hereby shall bear interest
prior to repayment at a variable rate per annum (“Warehouse Rate”) which shall, from day to day, be equal to the lesser of (a) the maximum effective variable contract rate of interest (“Maximum Rate”) which Bank may from time to
time lawfully charge, or (b) a rate equal to the Mortgage Note Rate. However, if the Mortgage Note Rate is greater than One Month LIBOR + 2.75%, the Warehouse Rate shall be equal to One Month LIBOR + 2.75%, or if the
Mortgage Note Rate is less than One Month LIBOR, the Warehouse Rate shall be equal to One Month LIBOR. It is agreed that interest shall be calculated on the basis of a 365 (366 in Leap year) day year unless calculation on that basis would
result in Bank receiving interest at a rate in excess of the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge, in which case such indebtedness shall bear interest at such maximum rate. The indebtedness shall also
bear interest after maturity (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) at the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge thereon. 
 
Principal and interest as computed above shall be payable in the Following manner: 
 
As to Principal and accrued interest, each
advance hereunder, and interest accrued thereon shall be payable on the earlier of: 
 

	 	(i)	 	Forty-five (45) days from the Advance Date of the Eligible Mortgage loan, 

 

	 	(ii)	 	On the date of funding of the Purchase Price by any Qualified Investor for the Purchase of an Eligible Mortgage Loan which was funded by the advance, or


 

	 	(iii)	 	Termination of this Note, 

 
Maturity. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the entire outstanding principal balance hereunder together with all accrued but unpaid interest
shall be due and payable in full on 5/31/2003. 
 
The Bank may, in
its sole discretion, honor one or more advances requested hereunder by the Borrower after maturity, and any such advance shall be considered an extension of credit hereunder and governed by the terms of the Agreement. Any such advance shall be
immediately due and payable. 
 
Any unpaid principal and interest
accrued thereon shall also bear interest, from the date of maturity as set forth above, (whether by demand, acceleration or otherwise) until the unpaid advance is fully satisfied, at the maximum rate of interest which Bank is permitted by law to
contract for and charge on the date hereof or such maximum rate so permitted on the maturity date hereof, whichever is greater. 
 
The Base Rate is one of several interest rate indices employed by the Bank. The undersigned acknowledges that the Bank has made, and may hereafter make,
loans bearing interest at rates which are higher or lower than the Base Rate. 
 
Any renewal or extension of the debt evidenced hereby shall bear interest at the rate of interest set by Bank at that time, not to exceed the maximum rate which Bank is permitted by law to contract for and charge either on the date
hereof or on the date of such renewal or extension, whichever is greater. 
 
All installments, prepayments and payments of principal and interest shall be applied first to fees, then to interest, and the 







 
balance to principal due
hereunder and are payable at Bank, 165 Madison, Memphis, Tennessee 38103, or such other place or places as the holder hereof may from time to time designate in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America which shall be legal tender in
payment of all debts and dues, public and private, at the time of payment. This note and the indebtedness evidenced hereby are secured by an assignment of all mortgages and deeds of trust together with an endorsement of all notes evidencing Eligible
Mortgage Loans under the Agreement, Commitments from Qualified Investors to Purchase the Eligible Mortgage Loans, the proceeds of such Eligible Mortgage Loans, and any accounts maintained by Borrower at Bank. 
 
The undersigned hereby agree(s) to pay all reasonable expenses directly
related to the loan evidenced hereby incurred or to be incurred in its making, servicing or collection, including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees. The undersigned further agree to pay to Bank upon demand all reasonable charges for
services rendered or to be rendered, and reasonable expenses incurred or to be incurred, to or on behalf of the undersigned in connection with borrowing evidenced hereby including, but not limited to, fees of any Custodian, provided that charges for
such services rendered by officers or employees of the Bank shall be limited to those rendered directly for the inspecting and verification of collateral prior to the loan being made, servicing and verifying the collateral securing said loan, and
the collection of said loan. 
 
It is contemplated that the
original principal sum evidenced hereby shall be reduced from time to time, and that additional loans and advances may be made in the future, which additional loans and/or advances shall be evidenced by this Note and subject to its terms and
conditions. 
 
Upon the happening of any of the following events,
all of the aforesaid liabilities shall, without notice except as provided under the terms of the Agreement, at the option of the Bank, become immediately due without demand for payment thereof: (a) the failure of any Obligor (which term shall
include the undersigned makers, together with all endorsers, sureties and guarantors of this Note) to perform any agreement hereunder or related to the loan evidenced hereby (b) the filing of any action for the appointment of a receiver for, the
making of a general assignment for the benefit of creditors by, or any other act of insolvency of any Obligor, however expressed or indicated (c) the entry of a materially adverse judgment against any Obligor (d) the filing of any materially adverse
lien against any property of any obligor (e) the taking of possession of any substantial part of the property of any Obligor at the instance of any governmental authority (f) the dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization of change in
control of any Obligor (g) the reasonable determination by the Bank that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of any Obligor (h) the assignment by the undersigned of any equity or other right in any of the collateral
without the written consent of the Bank (i) the Bank deeming itself to be insecure or (j) the occurrence of any event of default under the Agreement or the failure to make any payment or any other default on any other indebtedness owing by the
undersigned to Bank. 
 
The undersigned shall have the privilege,
at any time and from time to time, of prepaying, in whole or in part, the then outstanding principal balance hereunder, together with accrued interest thereon, without penalty or premium. 
 
If this Note is placed in the hands of an attorney for collection, by suit or otherwise, or to enforce its collection, or to
protect the security for its payments, the undersigned will pay all reasonable costs of collection and litigation, together with a reasonable attorney’s fee. 
 
The makers, endorsers, sureties and guarantors hereof waive presentment, demand, protest and notice or protest of demand and
of dishonor and nonpayment and expressly agree that this Note, or any payment or installment hereunder, may be extended, modified or renewed from time to time, in whole or in part, without limit as to the number of such extensions or modifications
or the period or periods thereof and without notice to them and without in any way affecting their liability, and further expressly agree that any present or future security for the indebtedness evidenced hereby or for any indebtedness due by the
undersigned to the holder hereof may be released or, after default, liquidated from time to time, in whole or in part, without notice to them and without in anyway affecting their liability. 
 
No delay on the part of the holder hereof in exercising any right shall
operate as a waiver of any such right.
