         Section 2.3      Method of Borrowing.

                  (a)     Borrowings. Whenever the Borrower desires to make a
Tranche A Borrowing or a Tranche B Borrowing hereunder, or to convert any
Tranche A Loan or Tranche B Loan into a different Type of Loan pursuant to
Section 2.4, or to continue any Tranche A Loan or Tranche B Loan for an
additional LIBOR Interest Period, an Authorized Officer shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent notice of such proposed Borrowing, conversion or
continuation (a "Notice of Borrowing" or "Notice of Conversion/Continuation", as
the case may be) each such notice to be given (x) prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York
City time) on the date of such proposed Borrowing or conversion, in the case of
a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans or a conversion of
LIBOR Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans and (y) prior to
11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third LIBOR Business Day before the date
of such proposed Borrowing, conversion or continuation, in the case of a
Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, a conversion of Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds
Loans into LIBOR Loans, or a continuation of LIBOR Loans for an additional LIBOR
Interest Period. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall be in the form
of Exhibit G-1 or H, as the case may be. Notwithstanding any other provision to
the contrary no more than five (5) LIBOR Interest Periods may be in effect
hereunder at any time.

                  (b)     Swing-Line Borrowings. Whenever the Borrower desires 
to make a Swing-Line Borrowing, an Authorized Officer shall deliver to the
Administrative Agent notice of such proposed Swing-Line Borrowing (a "Notice of
Swing-Line Borrowing") (with a simultaneous copy to the Swing-Line Lender), each
such notice to be given prior to 3:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of
such proposed Swing-Line Borrowing. Each such notice shall be irrevocable and

<PAGE>   42
made as an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a Fed Funds Loan.

                  (c)     Telephonic Notices. Without in any way limiting the
Borrower's obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of any
written Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Swing-Line Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent may act without liability upon
the basis of any telephonic notice of Borrowing, Swing-Line Borrowing or notice
of conversion/continuation, as the case may be, in each case believed by the
Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer prior to
receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives
the right to dispute the Administrative Agent's record of the terms of such
telephonic notice, absent manifest error, gross negligence or willful misconduct
by the Administrative Agent. An Authorized Officer shall promptly confirm in
writing any Notice of Borrowing, Notice of Swing-Line Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, as the case may be, given by telephone, no later than
the close of business on the Business Day such notice is given; provided that
such Authorized Officer's failure to confirm any notice by telephone shall not
in any way limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to act upon such
telephonic notice without liability in accordance with the preceding sentence.

                  (d)     Notices to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall
promptly (and in any event by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of
receipt of such Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation give
each Lender telefacsimile notice of each proposed Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, as the case may be, of such Lender's Percentage Share thereof and
of any other matters covered by such notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Administrative Agent shall not be required to notify any Lender (other than the
Swing-Line Lender) of a Swing-Line Borrowing.

                  (e)     Notice of LIBOR Rate Determination. Upon determining 
the applicable LIBOR Rate for each LIBOR Interest Period, the Administrative
Agent shall notify the Borrower and each Lender of such LIBOR Rate prior to 2:00
p.m. (New York City time) on the second (2nd) LIBOR Business Day prior to the
date of each proposed Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, conversion of Alternate Base
Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans into LIBOR Loans, or a continuation of LIBOR Loans
for an additional LIBOR Interest Period, and such determination by the
Administrative Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

                  (f)     Affirmation of Representations. By delivering a 
Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent hereunder of the
continuation of any LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period or the
conversion of any Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans into LIBOR Loans,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that no Potential
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

<PAGE>   43
         Section 2.4      Conversions and Continuations.

                  (a)     Conversions and Continuations. Subject to the terms 
and conditions hereof and in accordance with the procedures for conversions and
the other provisions set forth in Section 2.3(a), each Lender agrees to convert
outstanding Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans into LIBOR
Loans and from LIBOR Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans (in
each case in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal
amount of the Alternate Base Rate Loans, Fed Funds Loans or LIBOR Loans, as the
case may be, then outstanding and being converted) and to continue outstanding
LIBOR Loans for additional LIBOR Interest Periods; provided that (i) any
conversion of LIBOR Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans may
only be made on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to such
LIBOR Loans being converted; and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans may be
converted into LIBOR Loans and no LIBOR Loans may, at the end of the LIBOR
Interest Period applicable thereto, be continued as a LIBOR Loan for an
additional LIBOR Loan Interest Period. Each Lender will make such conversions
and continuations without an exchange of funds.

                  (b)     Conversions Upon Absence of Notice. If the 
Administrative Agent has not received a timely Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation from the Borrower prior to the expiration of any LIBOR
Interest Period for any outstanding LIBOR Loans of the Borrower, the Borrower
shall be deemed to have irrevocably elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into
Alternate Base Rate Loans.

         Section 2.5      Disbursement of Funds.

                  (a)     Funds Transfers to Pre-Disbursement Account. Each 
Lender shall make available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such
Lender's Percentage Share of each proposed Borrowing, in immediately available
funds by wire transfer of such funds to the Pre-Disbursement Account no later
than 3:00 p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing. The Administrative Agent
shall hold funds transferred to the Pre-Disbursement Account pending
disbursement in accordance with subsection (b) below.

                  (b)     Disbursement to Funding Account. Unless the 
Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition in Article III has
not been satisfied, the Administrative Agent shall make amounts held in the
Pre-Disbursement Account with respect to a proposed Borrowing available to the
Borrower in immediately available funds by wire transfer of such amounts to the
Funding Account (or such other account as the Borrower directs in writing for
such purpose) no later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of the
proposed Borrowing. If any proposed Borrowing does not occur on the requested
date because any condition precedent herein specified has not been met, the
Administrative Agent shall so notify the Lenders promptly and shall return the
amounts so received to the respective Lenders.

                  (c)     Defaulting Lender; Reimbursement of Administrative 
Agent.  Unless 


                                      -35-

<PAGE>   44
the Administrative Agent has been notified by any Lender before 2:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on the date of a proposed Borrowing that such Lender does not
intend to make available to the Administrative Agent on such date an amount
equal to such Lender's Percentage Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) make available a corresponding amount to the Borrower. If
and to the extent any Lender fails to make its full amount available to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made
available such amount to the Borrower, such Lender shall on the next Business
Day following the date of such Borrowing make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by wire transfer of such
funds to such account as the Administrative Agent directs for such purpose,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable at the time of the Loans constituting such Borrowing for and
determined as of each day from the date of such Borrowing to the next Business
Day. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to amounts owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive and
binding, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such
payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender's Loan on the
Borrowing Date for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made so
available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day following the
Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such
failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's
account, together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of
such Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the
time to the Loans constituting such Borrowing.

                  (d)     Disbursement of Swing-Line Loans. Unless the
Administrative Agent determines that any applicable condition in Article III has
not been satisfied and so notifies the Swing-Line Lender, the Swing-Line Lender
shall make the full amount of a proposed Swing-Line Loan available to the
Borrower in immediately available funds by wire transfer of such funds to the
Funding Account on the date of each proposed Swing-Line Borrowing within a
reasonable time after receipt of an applicable Notice of Swing-Line Borrowing
timely given. Such amounts transferred on any such date shall constitute
"Swing-Line Loans" to the Borrower for all purposes of the Loan Documents and
shall be payable, with interest to the same extent as if such amounts had been
disbursed directly to the Borrower.

                  (e)     Refinancings of Swing-Line Loans. From time to time,
outstanding Swing-Line Loans may be refinanced with Tranche A Loans. On Thursday
of each week and at such other times as the Administrative Agent shall
determine, the Administrative Agent shall notify each Lender of the aggregate
principal amount of outstanding Swing-Line Loans of the Borrower to be
refinanced and the principal amount of Loans necessary to be made by each Lender
to refinance such outstanding Swing-Line Loans (which amount shall be equal to
each Lender's Percentage Share of the aggregate principal amount of the
Borrower's outstanding Swing-Line Loans and which notice shall be deemed
automatically given upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under Section
6.1(i)). Interest on the Swing-Line Loans being refinanced shall be payable by
the Borrower in accordance with Section 2.7.


                                      -36-

<PAGE>   45
                  (f)     Disbursement of Swing-Line Loan Refinancing Proceeds;
Defaulting Lender. For any refinancing of Swing-Line Loans, not later than 1:30
p.m. (New York City time) on each date that the Administrative Agent gives
notices to the Lenders of such refinancing, each Lender shall make available in
immediately available funds by wire transfer to the Administrative Agent for
payment to the Swing-Line Lender an amount equal to such Lender's Percentage
Share of the outstanding principal amount of the Swing-Line Loans being
refinanced. Each such Swing-Line Loan being refinanced shall be refinanced as
either a Fed Funds Loan or Alternate Base Rate Loan, if the Swing-Line Loan
being refinanced is a Fed Funds Loan or an Alternate Base Rate Loan,
respectively. The Administrative Agent shall pay all proceeds of Loans made
pursuant to this subsection (f) directly to the Swing-Line Lender (and not to
the Borrower), to be applied to the repayment of the outstanding Swing-Line
Loans. If any portion of any amount required to be paid by the Borrower on
account of a Swing-Line shall be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from
the Administrative Agent or the Swing-Line Lender in bankruptcy or otherwise,
the loss of the amount so recovered shall be ratably shared among all the
Lenders. In the event that a refinancing of any Swing-Line Loan cannot be made
for any reason on any date required by the Swing-Line Lender, each Lender hereby
agrees that it shall immediately purchase from the Swing-Line Lender (without
recourse or warranty) such assignment of the outstanding Swing-Line Loans as
shall be necessary to cause the Lenders to share in such Swing-Line Loans
ratably based on their respective Percentage Shares; provided that all interest
payable on such Swing-Line Loans shall be for the account of the Swing-Line
Lender until the date the respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent
attributable to the purchased assignment, shall be for the account of the Lender
purchasing the assignment from and after the date of such purchase. Each
Lender's obligation to make Loans pursuant to this subsection (f) shall be
absolute and unconditional and shall not be affected by any circumstance,
including (i) any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that
such Lender may have against the Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Collateral
Agent, any other Lender, the Borrower, either Guarantor or any other Person for
any reason whatsoever; (ii) the occurrence or continuance of any Potential
Default or Event of Default; (iii) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrower or either of the Guarantors; (iv) any
breach of this Agreement or any other Loan Document by the Borrower, either of
the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Collateral Agent or any
Lender; or (v) any other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or
not similar to any of the foregoing; provided that in no event shall a Lender be
obligated to make a Loan pursuant to this subsection (f) if after giving effect
thereto, the outstanding principal amount of such Lender's Loans and its
Percentage Share of any Swing-Line Loans remaining outstanding would exceed its
Commitment. If any Lender fails to make the full amount of its Loan available to
the Administrative Agent pursuant to this subsection (f), such Lender shall, on
the next Business Day, make such amount available to the Administrative Agent,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable at the time to the Swing-Line Loans or Swing-Line Loan being
refinanced for and determined as of each day from the date of refinancing to the
next Business Day. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any
Lender with respect to amounts owing under this subsection (f) shall be
conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made
available, such payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such
Lender's Loan for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made
available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day following the
date of refinancing, the Administrative Agent shall notify 


                                      -37-

<PAGE>   46
the Borrower of such failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower shall pay such amount to the Administrative Agent for the
Administrative Agent's account, together with interest thereon for each day
elapsed since the date of such refinancing, at a rate per annum equal to the
interest rate applicable at the time to the Loans or Loan being refinanced.

                  (g)     Obligations of Lenders Several and Not Joint. No 
Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other Lender in its
obligation to make Loans hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make
the Loans on the terms set forth herein, regardless of the failure of any other
Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder.

         Section 2.6      Notes.

                  The Borrower's obligation to repay the Loans made to it by
each Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note (each, a "Note" and
collectively, the "Notes"), substantially in the form of Exhibit A-1, with
blanks appropriately completed in conformity therewith and payable to the order
of such Lender. The Borrower's obligation to repay the Swing-Line Loans made to
it by the Swing-Line Lender shall be evidenced by a promissory note (each a
"Swing-Line Loan Note"), substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2, with blanks
appropriately completed in conformity therewith and payable to the order of the
Swing-Line Lender. Each Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrower
to, endorse on the schedule attached to the applicable Note or Swing-Line Note
delivered to such Lender (or on a continuation of such schedule attached to such
Note or Swing-Line Note and made a part thereof), or otherwise to record in such
Lender's internal records, an appropriate notation evidencing the date and
amount of each Loan from such Lender, whether such Loan is a Tranche A Loan,
Tranche B Loan or the Swing-Line Loan (if applicable), the Type of such Loan,
each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, each payment of
interest on any such Loan, applicable interest rates and LIBOR Interest Periods,
if any, and other information with respect thereto, and any such recordation
shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of the accuracy of
the information so recorded; provided that the failure of any Lender to make
such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the Obligations of the
Borrower, including its Obligation to repay the Loans made by such Lender in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable Notes or
Swing-Line Note.

         Section 2.7      Interest and Fees.

                  (a)     Fed Funds Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay interest 
in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Fed Funds Loan at a rate per

Loan, (ii) thirteen-twentieths of one percent (0.65%) if such Fed Funds Loan is
a Tranche B Loan the Collateral for which is Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loans
and (iii) three-tenths of one percent (0.30%) if such Fed Funds Loan is a
Tranche B Loan the Collateral for which is Eligible Agency MBS.

                  (b)     Alternate Base Rate Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay
interest in respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Alternate Base Rate
Loan at a rate per annum

equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time.

                  (c)     LIBOR Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in
respect of the unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan for each day during
the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the

percent (1.25%) if such LIBOR Loan is a Tranche A Loan, (ii) thirteen-twentieths
of one percent (0.65%) if such LIBOR Loan is a Tranche B Loan the Collateral for
which is Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loans, and (iii) three-tenths of one
percent (0.30%) if such LIBOR Loan is a Tranche B Loan the Collateral for which
is Eligible Agency MBS.

                  (d)     Overdue Amounts. Overdue principal and interest in 
respect of each Loan and all other overdue amounts owing hereunder shall bear
interest for each day that such amounts are overdue (before as well as after
judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from
time to time plus two percent (2.0%).

                  (e)     Interest Accrual and Payment Dates. Interest on each 
Loan shall accrue from and including the Borrowing Date thereof to but excluding
the date of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) monthly on or before
the second Business Day after receipt of the billing statement referred to in
clause (f) below, (ii) on any prepayment or repayment in full of all of any
Lender's outstanding Loans, (iii) at maturity (whether by acceleration or
otherwise) and (iv) after maturity, on demand.

                  (f)     Interest Billing Statements. The Administrative Agent
shall deliver to the Borrower an interest billing statement for each month on or
before the third Business Day of the next succeeding month, which interest
billing statement shall set forth the interest accrued on the Loans (including
LIBOR Loans) for such month; provided that any failure or delay in delivering
such interest billing statement to the Borrower or any inaccuracy therein shall
not affect the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each
applicable Lender, on the Business Day following the Borrower's payment of the
accrued interest set forth on such interest billing statement, a copy of such
statement with a confirmation that the accrued interest set forth thereon has
been paid by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any
Lender has entered into a separate written agreement of the type described in
Section 2.7(j), such Lender shall give promptly notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent and deliver its billing statement for such month directly
to the Borrower and shall collect any interest payments due to such Lender as
set forth in such billing statements; provided that if a Potential Default or an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Lender shall
deliver a copy of its then current interest billing statement and each
subsequent interest billing statement to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall be instructed by such Lender to remit amounts due to such Lender
to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender providing notice to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the previous sentence shall indemnify and hold the
Administrative Agent harmless from and against the collection of interest from
the Borrower with respect to the Loans accruing interest at the reduced rates as
described in Section 2.7(j) and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have
no liability or obligation with respect to such collections.

                  (g)     Facility Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the
Administrative Agent 


                                      -39-

<PAGE>   48
for the account of each Lender a facility fee (the "Facility Fee") at a rate per
annum equal to one-eighth of one percent (0.125%) of the amount of such Lender's
Commitment (whether used or unused) until the date on which the Commitments are
terminated. Such Facility Fee shall be payable in quarterly installments in
arrears on the last Business Day of each calendar quarter commencing September
29, 1995 and on the date on which the Commitments are terminated.

                  (h)     Administrative Agent's and Arranger's Fee. The 
Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in
the amount and on the dates separately agreed to by the Administrative Agent and
the Borrower.

                  (i)     Computations of Interest and Fees. All computations of
interest and Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and
sixty (360) days for the actual number of days (including the first day but
excluding the last day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees
are payable. Each determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate
or Fee hereunder shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

                  (j)     Reduced Interest Rates. Each Lender may from time to 
time, in its sole discretion, offer to the Borrower to have a portion of such
Lender's Loans bear interest at a reduced interest rate in consideration of the
Borrower's maintenance of compensating balances with such Lender. Any such
agreement between such Lender and the Borrower shall be evidenced by a separate
written agreement executed by such Lender and the Borrower; provided that in no
event shall any Lender agree in such agreement to an interest rate on overdue
amounts hereunder that is less than the rate specified in Section 2.7(d).

         Section 2.8      Payments; Distributions and Applications of Payments.

                  (a)     Place and Time of Payments. Except as otherwise
specifically provided herein, all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower under
this Agreement and the Notes shall be made without defense, set-off or
counterclaim to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the date when due, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a
payment is received after 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) by the Administrative
Agent, such payment shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding
Business Day and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate
during such extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars in
immediately available funds at the Payment Office.

                  (b)     Next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made
hereunder or under any Note is stated to be due on a day that is not a Business
Day, the due date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day
and, with respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at
the applicable rate during such extension.

                  (c)     Notice of Payments. On any date upon which the 
Borrower makes a payment hereunder (by wire transfer of funds, by requesting the
Administrative Agent to apply funds in the Warehouse Settlement Accounts and/or
the Operating Account to pay the Borrower's Obligations or otherwise), the
Borrower shall give notice to the Administrative Agent of such payment in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit J (a "Notice of Payment") by 


                                      -40-

<PAGE>   49
1:30 p.m. (New York City time). Each Notice of Payment shall be supported by a
Borrowing Base Certificate and shall advise the Administrative Agent as to: (i)
whether the Borrower is requesting application of funds in the Warehouse
Settlement Accounts to pay its Obligations; (ii) whether such payment (or what
portion thereof) is in respect of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts
payable by the Borrower hereunder; (iii) if such payment is in respect of
principal, (A) whether such payment is a mandatory repayment required under
Section 2.9 and, if applicable, the designation of the Type of Loans to be
repaid or (B) whether such payment is an optional prepayment permitted under
Section 2.10, and, if so, the Type(s) of Loans the Borrower is prepaying;
provided that a Notice of Payment delivered to the Administrative Agent shall be
for purposes of advising and assisting the Administrative Agent in its duties
hereunder and, in no event, shall the foregoing be construed as obligating the
Administrative Agent to apply funds in accordance with any Notice of Payment
delivered to it. For payments made in respect of interest, the Borrower shall
attach the applicable interest billing statement to its Notice of Payment. The
Borrower hereby irrevocably unconditionally authorizes the Administrative Agent
to debit the Operating Account in the amount of interest and Fees due and
payable on the due date for such interest and Fees specified in Section 2.7 if
such interest and Fees have not been previously paid by the Borrower.

                  (d)     Distributions of Payments to Lenders. Upon receipt of 
any payment hereunder, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter (and in
any event by the close of business on the day on which such funds are received
if such funds are received by the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:30 p.m.
(New York City time) or, if such funds are received by the Administrative Agent
after 1:30 p.m. (New York City time), by the close of business on the next
succeeding Business Day) distribute funds in the form received relating to the
payment of (i) principal of or interest on any Loans and any Facility Fees
ratably to the Lenders, and (ii) any Fees and any other amount payable to any
Secured Party to such Secured Party. Prior to the maturity of the Loans and
other Obligations (upon scheduled maturity, acceleration or otherwise), if no
Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall apply all payments of principal hereunder in
accordance with subsection (e) below, and if a Potential Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply all
payments received hereunder in accordance with subsection (f) below. Upon and
following the maturity of the Loans (upon scheduled maturity, acceleration or
otherwise), the Administrative Agent shall apply all payments received hereunder
in accordance with subsection (g) below.

                  (e)     Applications of Payments; No Potential Default or 
Event of Default. Prior to the maturity of the Loans and other Obligations (upon
scheduled maturity, acceleration or otherwise), if no Potential Default or Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply
all funds received on any day from the Borrower hereunder, in respect of the
principal of the Loans, or under the Warehouse Security Agreement (including
funds from the Warehouse Settlement Accounts that the Warehouse Collateral Agent
has paid over to the Administrative Agent pursuant to the Warehouse Security
Agreement), as follows: first, to the Swing-Line Lender, to repay the aggregate
principal amount of Swing-Line Loans outstanding on such day pursuant to the
order of application set forth in clause "first" of Section 2.9; second, if

interest and Fees; third, if any Loans of the Borrower are due and payable on
such day under Section 2.9, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds

Borrower are to be prepaid on such day under Section 2.10, the Administrative
Agent shall distribute such funds ratably to the Lenders, in accordance with the
aggregate principal amounts of their respective outstanding Loans to the
Borrower, to prepay the aggregate principal amount of such Loans, and, if
applicable, the Administrative Agent shall apply such funds pursuant to the
order of allocation set forth in instructions received from the Borrower, or if
no such instructions are received, to the order of allocation set forth in
Section 2.10; and fifth, if any balance remains after application of such funds
in accordance with the foregoing clauses first through fourth, the
Administrative Agent shall release such balance to the Borrower by transfer to
the Operating Account or to such other account as such Borrower directs the
Administrative Agent in writing for such purpose.

                  (f)     Applications of Payments; Potential Default or Event 
of Default. Prior to the maturity of the Loans and other Obligations (upon
scheduled maturity, acceleration or otherwise), if any Potential Default or
Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall
apply all funds received on any day from the Borrower hereunder or under the
Warehouse Security Agreement (including funds held in the Warehouse Settlement
Accounts), as follows: first, if the Warehouse Collateral Agent has incurred
fees, costs and expenses in connection with such Potential Default or Event of
Default or fees, costs and expenses are otherwise payable to it in its capacity

Administrative Agent shall pay such funds to the Warehouse Collateral Agent as
reimbursement therefor, in an amount equal to such reasonable fees, costs and
expenses; second, if the Administrative Agent has reasonably incurred fees,
costs and expenses in connection with such Potential Default or Event of Default

Loans or any Fee is due and payable on such day, the Administrative Agent shall
distribute such funds ratably to the Lenders, in accordance with the amount of
interest and/or Fees due and payable on their respective outstanding Loans and
Commitments to the Borrower, to pay all such unpaid interest and Fees; fifth, if
any Loans of the Borrower are due and payable on such day under Section 2.9, the
Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds ratably to the Lenders, in
accordance with the aggregate principal amounts of their respective outstanding
Loans to the Borrower that are due and payable on such day, to repay the
aggregate principal amount of such Loans, and, if applicable, the Administrative
Agent shall apply such funds pursuant to the order of allocation


                                      -42-

<PAGE>   51
set forth in Section 2.9; sixth, if other Obligations of the Borrower are due
and payable on such day, the Administrative Agent shall distribute such funds
ratably to the Lenders, in accordance with their other respective Obligations
owed to them by the Borrower that are due and payable on such day, to pay all
such Obligations; seventh, if any Servicing Obligations of the Borrower are due

which event such balance shall be applied in accordance with subsection (e)
above, or the maturity of the Loans and other Obligations (upon scheduled
maturity, acceleration or otherwise), in which event such balance shall be
applied in accordance with subsection (g) below. The Borrower hereby consents to
the Administrative Agent's holding of such funds as cash collateral and grants
to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties a security
interest in such proceeds hereafter acquired by the Administrative Agent, as
collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

                  (g)     Applications of Payments; Maturity of Loans. Upon and
following the maturity of all Loans (upon scheduled maturity, acceleration or
otherwise), the Administrative Agent shall apply all funds in Warehouse
Settlement Accounts, the Funding Account, the Controlled Disbursement Account
and the Pre-Disbursement Account and all amounts received on any day by the
Administrative Agent hereunder, under the Warehouse Security Agreement or
otherwise on account of the Obligations of the Borrower, as follows: first, if

                                      -43-

         Section 2.9      Mandatory Repayments.

                  (a)     Facility Maturity.  The Borrower shall repay all of 
its outstanding Loans on the Maturity Date and on any date upon which the
Commitments are terminated by the Borrower pursuant to Section 2.2.

                  (b)     Tranche A Loans and Swing-Line Loans. On any date upon
which the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Tranche A Loans and
Swing-Line Loans exceeds the limitations set forth in Section 2.1, the Borrower
shall repay the aggregate principal amount of Tranche A Loans and/or Swing-Line
Loans as is necessary so that such aggregate principal amount of such Loans
outstanding does not exceed such limitations. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained in Section 2.8(e), the Borrower may designate in a Notice of
Payment, the order of application to Swing-Line Loans and the Types of its
Swing-Line Loans and Tranche A Loans to be repaid and the order of repayment
thereof. If the Borrower fails to make such a designation, the Administrative
Agent shall apply any funds received from the Borrower pursuant to this
subsection (b) as follows: first, to Swing-Line Loans that are Alternate Base
Rate Loans, second, to Swing-Line Loans that are Fed Funds Loans, third, to such
other Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans, fourth, to such other Loans that

pursuant to this subsection (c) as follows: first, to such Loans that are
Alternate Base Rate Loans, second to such Loans that are Fed Funds Loans, and
third to such Loans that are LIBOR Loans.

                                      -44-

         Section 2.10     Optional Prepayments.

                  (a)     Notice of Payment; Designation of Payment 
Applications. The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to
time to prepay its outstanding Loans, in whole or in part; provided that the
Borrower shall deliver to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Payment with
respect to each of the Borrower's prepayments prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City
time) on the day of each such proposed prepayment; and provided further, that
each partial prepayment of any Loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount of
$100,000 or any multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in Section 2.8(e), the Borrower shall designate in the
Notice of Payment delivered in connection with any proposed prepayment whether
such prepayment is of Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Loans or Swing-Line Loans.

                  (b)     Failure to Designate Payment Applications. If such
Borrower fails to make such a designation, the Administrative Agent shall apply
any funds received as a prepayment under this Section 2.10 as follows: first, to
Swing-Line Loans, second, to Tranche A Loans, and third, to Tranche B Loans. In
applying funds pursuant to this Section 2.10 the Administrative Agent: (i) shall
prepay Loans, to the extent applicable, as follows: first, such Loans that are
Alternate Base Rate Loans, second, such Loans that are Fed Funds Loans, and
third, such Loans that are LIBOR Loans.

                  (c)     No Premiums.  All prepayments of Loans under this 
Section 2.10 shall be without premium or penalty; provided that any prepayment
of LIBOR Loans shall be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13.

         Section 2.11     LIBOR Rate Not Determinable; Illegality or 
Impropriety.

                  (a)     LIBOR Rate Not Determinable. In the event, and on each
occasion, that on or before the day on which the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR
Interest Period is to be determined, the Administrative Agent determines in good
faith that the LIBOR Rate cannot be determined for any reason, the
Administrative Agent shall give written notice of such determination, as soon as
practicable thereafter, to the Borrower and the Lenders. Following any such
determination until the Administrative Agent has advised the Borrower and the
Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any
request by a Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 for a Borrowing of a LIBOR Loan, a
conversion of an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a Fed Funds Loan into a LIBOR Loan
or a continuation of a LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period shall
be deemed to be, respectively, a request for a Borrowing of an Alternate Base
Rate Loan (in the case of a request for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loan) or a
conversion of a LIBOR Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan (in the case of a
request for a conversion or continuation as described above). Each determination
by the Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error.

                  (b)     Illegality or Impropriety. If any Lender determines at
any time that the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule,
regulation, order or decree or in the interpretation or the administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender with any request or


                                      -45-

<PAGE>   54
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental
Authority, makes it unlawful or improper for such Lender to make any LIBOR Loan,
convert any Alternate Base Rate Loan or Fed Funds Loan into a LIBOR Loan or
continue any LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period, as the case may
be, as contemplated by this Agreement, then such Lender shall immediately give
notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender,
which notice shall describe such illegality or impropriety in reasonable detail.
Effective immediately upon the giving of such notice, the obligation of such
Lender to make LIBOR Loans, convert any Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds
Loan into LIBOR Loans or continue any LIBOR Loans for an additional LIBOR
Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be suspended for the duration of such
illegality or impropriety. If and when such illegality or impropriety ceases to
exist, such suspension shall cease and such Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender thereof. If any such
change makes it unlawful or improper for any Lender to maintain any outstanding
LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall, immediately upon the happening of
such event, notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender
thereof, and the Borrower shall immediately (or if permitted by applicable law,
rule, regulation, order, decree, interpretation, request or directive, no later
than the date permitted thereby) convert each such LIBOR Loan into an Alternate
Base Rate Loan.

         Section 2.12     Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

                  (a)     Additional Taxes; Reserve Requirements. 
Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if (i) after the date of this
Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation, or in the interpretation
or administration thereof, by any Governmental Authority charged with the
interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of
law) imposes any tax on or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any
Lender of the principal of or interest on any LIBOR Loan made or funded by such
Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than taxes imposed
on the net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has
its principal office or lending office or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority therein), OR imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of or credit extended by such Lender (except any such reserve
requirement that is reflected in the LIBOR Rate) OR imposes on such Lender any
other condition affecting this Agreement or LIBOR Loans by such Lender, AND (ii)
the result of any of the foregoing increases the cost to such Lender of making
or maintaining any LIBOR Loan or reduces the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest or
otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount that such Lender deems to be
material, THEN the Borrower shall pay to such Lender any additional amount or
amounts necessary to compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred
or reduction suffered. The Borrower shall pay any amount or amounts due to any
Lender under this subsection (a) to such Lender within ten (10) days after
receipt by the Borrower of a statement from such Lender setting forth in
reasonable detail the amount or amounts due and the basis for the determination
of such amount or amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding
absent manifest error.

                  (b)     Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that the
adoption after the 


                                      -46-

<PAGE>   55
date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by such Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or by the holding company
of such Lender, as the case may be, with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, will reduce the rate of return on such
Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, as the case
may be, as a consequence of such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents
to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company, as the
case may be, could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration such Lender's policies or such Lender's holding
company's policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount that such Lender deems to be material, THEN the Borrower shall reimburse
such Lender or such Lender's holding company, as the case may be, for such
reduction. The Borrower shall pay any amount or amounts due to any Lender under
this subsection (b) to such Lender within ten (10) days after receipt by the
Borrower of a statement from such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount or amounts due and the basis for the determination from time to time of
such amount or amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error.

                  (c)     Change in Lending Office. Each Lender agrees to use
reasonable efforts to change its lending office to avoid or minimize (i) any
amounts that might otherwise be payable to such Lender pursuant to this Section
2.12 or pursuant to Section 2.14 or (ii) the effect of any event referred to in
Section 2.11(b); provided that such efforts do not impose on such Lender any
additional cost or any legal, regulatory or administrative burdens that such
Lender deems, in its sole discretion, to be material.

                  (d)     Lender Compensation. Failure on the part of any 
Lender to demand compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts
received or receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any
period shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand
compensation with respect to such period or any other period; provided that the
Lender makes demand therefor within one-hundred eighty (180) days after it first
obtains knowledge of the specific right to, and the specific amount of,
compensation in question. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available
to any Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or
inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or
condition that has occurred or been imposed.

         Section 2.13     Indemnity.

                  The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or
expense that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) any failure
by the Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III (unless such condition is waived in writing
by the Lenders), (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow any LIBOR Loan
hereunder, to convert any Alternate Base Rate Loan or Fed Funds Loan into a
LIBOR Loan or to continue any LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period
after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation has been
given pursuant to 


                                      -47-

<PAGE>   56
Section 2.3, (c) any mandatory repayment or optional prepayment of a LIBOR Loan,
any conversion of a LIBOR Loan required by any provision of this Agreement or
otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period
applicable thereto, (d) any default in mandatory repayment or optional
prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan or any part thereof or
interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at the due date thereof,
by irrevocable notice of optional prepayment or otherwise) or (e) the occurrence
of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss or reasonable
expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits from third
parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part thereof as a LIBOR
Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount equal to the
excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its cost of
obtaining the funds for the Loan being mandatorily repaid, optionally prepaid or
converted or not borrowed, converted or continued (based on the LIBOR Rate
applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such mandatory repayment,
optional prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow, convert or continue to
the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the case of a
failure to borrow, convert or continue, the LIBOR Interest Period for such Loan
that would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or
continue) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such
Lender) that such Lender would realize in re-employing the funds so mandatorily
repaid, optionally prepaid or converted or not borrowed, converted or continued
for such period or LIBOR Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of
any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or amounts that such
Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13 shall be delivered
to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error. Any
such amount or amounts shall be due and payable no later than ten (10) days
following the Borrower's receipt of such notice.

         Section 2.14     Taxes.

                  (a)     Payment of Taxes Withheld From Amounts Payable. All 
payments made by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
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 the Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Collateral
Agent and each Lender, net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of
net income taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Collateral
Agent or 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 and the Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Collateral Agent
or such Lender (excluding a connection arising solely from the Administrative
Agent, the Warehouse Collateral Agent or such Lender having executed, delivered,
performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents) or any political subdivision or taxing
authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts,
duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter called
"Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable to
the Administrative Agent, the Warehouse Collateral Agent or any Lender hereunder
or under other Loan Documents, the amounts so payable to the Administrative
Agent, the Warehouse 


                                      -48-

<PAGE>   57
Collateral Agent, or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to
yield to the Administrative Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender (after
payment of all Taxes) interest or any such other amounts payable hereunder at
the rates or in the amounts specified in this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by the Borrower, as promptly as
possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the Administrative Agent for its
own account or for the account of the Warehouse Collateral Agent or such Lender,
as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt received by
the Borrower showing payment thereof. If the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes
when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Administrative Agent the required receipts or other required documentary
evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify, as applicable, the Administrative Agent,
the Warehouse Collateral Agent and the Lenders for any incremental taxes,
interest or penalties that may become payable by the Administrative Agent, the
Warehouse Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The
agreements in this subsection (a) shall survive the termination of this
Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the
Loan Documents.

                  (b)     Lender Incorporation; Certifications. Each Lender 
that is a party hereto on the date hereof represents and warrants that it is
incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof.
Each Lender becoming a party hereto after the date hereof agrees that it will on
or before the first interest payment date after it becomes a party hereto
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent either a statement that it
is incorporated under the laws of the United States of America or a state
thereof or, if not so incorporated, (i) two (2) duly completed copies of United
States Internal Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or an applicable successor
form, as the case may be, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9
or any successor form. Each such Lender not so incorporated also agrees to
deliver to the Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of
such Form 1001 or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or applicable successor 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
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, together with such extensions or renewals
thereof as may reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative
Agent, unless in any such case an event (including any change in treaty, law or
regulation) has occurred before the date on which any such delivery would
otherwise be required that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would
prevent such Lender from duly completing and delivering any such form with
respect to it, and such Lender so advises the Borrower and the Administrative
Agent. Such Lender shall certify (A) in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224, that it
is entitled to receive payments under this Agreement without deduction or
withholding of any United States federal income taxes and (B) in the case of a
Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an exemption from United States backup
withholding tax.

                  (c)     Taxes Borne by Lender. This Section 2.14 shall not 
require the Borrower to pay any increased amount on account of Taxes to any
Lender to the extent such Taxes would not have been payable if such Lender had
furnished a statement or form (properly and accurately completed in all material
respects) that it was required to furnish in accordance with subsection (b)
above. Such Taxes shall be borne solely by such Lender.

<PAGE>   58
         Section 2.15     Sharing of Setoffs.

                  Each Lender (the "Setoff Lender") agrees that if (a) it
obtains payment (voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Obligation (i)
through the exercise of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against
the Borrower or either of the Guarantors, (ii) pursuant to a secured claim under
Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States Code, or other security or interest
arising from, or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by the Setoff Lender
under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise,
or (iii) by any other means, AND (b) such payment causes the unpaid portion of
the Obligations owed to the Setoff Lender to be proportionately less than the
unpaid portion of the Obligations owed to any other Lender (the "Selling
Lender"), THEN the Setoff Lender shall purchase from the Selling Lender, and the
Selling Lender shall simultaneously sell and assign to the Setoff Lender, at
face value a portion of the Obligations of the Selling Lender, so that the
aggregate unpaid amount of the Obligations and assigned Obligations held by each
Lender after such sale and assignment are in the same proportion to the
aggregate unpaid amount of all Obligations then outstanding as the amount of
Obligations owed to such Lender prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff
or counterclaim or other event was to the principal amount of all Obligations
outstanding prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or
other event; provided that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments are
made pursuant to this Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto is
thereafter recovered, such purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be
rescinded to the extent of such recovery and the purchase price or prices or
adjustments restored without interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the
foregoing arrangements and agrees that any Lender holding an assignment of an
Obligation deemed to have been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of
banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing
by it to such Lender by reason thereof, as fully as if such Lender had made a
loan directly to each of them in the amount of such assignment.

         Section 2.16         Replacement of Lenders.

                  If (a) any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.11 that it is unlawful or improper for such
Lender to make or maintain LIBOR Loans, (b) any Lender requires the Borrower to
pay additional amounts pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for additional costs incurred
or reductions suffered by such Lender in connection with LIBOR Loans made or
maintained by such Lender, or (c) any Lender requires the Borrower to reimburse
such Lender or such Lender's holding company pursuant to Section 2.12(b) for
reduction in the rate of return on such Lender's capital or the capital of such
Lender's holding company as a result of such Lender's obligations under the Loan
Documents, THEN the Borrower may require such Lender to sell all of its
outstanding Loans and Commitments (and if such Lender is the Swing-Line Lender,
to sell its Swing-Line Commitments) pursuant to Section 8.6(c), to another
Lender (if any other Lender agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, to
purchase such Loans and commitments) or to any other financial institution
acceptable to the Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion that
is willing to make and maintain LIBOR Loans. The purchase price for such Loans
and Commitments shall be equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Loans,
if any, of such Lender outstanding as of the purchase date thereof, (ii)
interest accrued on such Loans up to but excluding such purchase date, and (iii)
an amount equal to all other accrued 


                                      -50-

but unpaid payment Obligations owed to such Lender, including any accrued but
unpaid Fees.

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

                  As an inducement to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders
to enter into this Agreement and to make Loans as provided herein, the Borrower
represents and warrants to the Agents and each Lender that:

         Section 4.1      Formation, Organization and Standing.

                  (a) Borrower. The Borrower is a limited partnership, duly
formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of its
formation and is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in all
other jurisdictions where it conducts its business or owns or leases its assets
and where such activity requires such qualification, except where the failure to
be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (b)     General Partner.  The General Partner of the Borrower 
is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the
laws of the state of its incorporation.

         Section 4.2      Compliance With Law and Contractual Obligations

                  The Borrower has the partnership power, and authority and the
legal right to own and operate its property and to conduct business in the
manner in which it does and proposes so to do and is not in violation of any
Requirement of Law or any Contractual Obligation applicable to it if such
violation could have a Material Adverse Effect.

         Section 4.3          Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations.

                  (a)     Borrower. The Borrower has the partnership power and
authority to execute, deliver and perform the Loan Documents to which it is a
party and has taken all necessary partnership action to authorize the execution,
delivery and performance of such Loan Documents. Such Loan Documents have been
duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Borrower and constitute its
legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable against it in accordance with
their respective terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors' rights
generally and by general principles of equity.

                  (b)    General Partner. The General Partner of the Borrower 
has the corporate power and authority to make, deliver and perform on behalf of
the Borrower, and thereby legally bind the Borrower to perform this Agreement
and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is party, and has taken all
necessary action to authorize the borrowings by the Borrower hereunder on the
terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Notes. The General Partner of the
Borrower has, on behalf of the Borrower, duly executed and delivered this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents to which the Borrower is party.

this Section 4.16 is true and correct with respect to each parcel of real
property owned or operated by the Borrower (the "Properties"), except to the
extent that the facts and circumstances giving rise to any such failure to be so
true and correct could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect:

                  (a)     No Hazardous Materials.  No Hazardous Materials are 
contained in, on or under the Properties, including the soil and groundwater
thereunder, in quantities that are in violation of any Environmental Law;

                  (b)     Compliance With Environmental Laws.  The Properties 
and all operations and facilities at the Properties are in compliance with all
Environmental Laws, and there is no Hazardous Materials contamination or
violation of any Environmental Law that could interfere with the continued
operation of any of the Properties or impair the fair saleable value of any
thereof;

                  (c)     No Notice of Violation. None of the Borrower, its
Subsidiaries or the General Partner of the Borrower has received any material
complaint, notice of violation, alleged violation, investigation or advisory

knowledge, contemplated under any Environmental Laws, to which the Borrower, its
Subsidiaries or the General Partner of the Borrower is or will be named as a
party with respect to the Properties, and no consent decrees or other decrees,
consent orders, administrative orders or other orders, or other administrative
or judicial requirements are outstanding under any Environmental Law with
respect to any of the Properties.

         Section 4.17     Solvency.

                  (a)     Sufficient Assets; Capital. On the Closing Date, after

fair valuation, of the Borrower, as of such date, will exceed the Borrower's
debts, (B) the present fair saleable value of the assets of 


                                      -59-

the Borrower, as of such date, will be greater than the amount that will be

absolute and matured, and (C) the Borrower will have, as of such date,
sufficient capital with which to conduct its businesses.

                  (b)     Defined Terms; GAAP. For purposes of this Section

tradenames, copyrights, technology, know-how and processes necessary for the
conduct of its business as currently conducted except for those the failure to
own or license which could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect (the "Intellectual Property"). No material claim has been asserted and is
pending by any Person challenging or questioning the use of any such
Intellectual Property or the validity or effectiveness of any such Intellectual
Property, and the Borrower does not know of any valid basis for any such
material claim. The Borrower's use of its Intellectual Property does not
infringe on the rights of any Person, except for such claims and infringements
that, in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

         Section 4.19     Principal Place of Business.

                  Default, no payments of interest or principal shall be payable
                  with respect thereto) which Indebtedness shall not at any time

                  creation of such Indebtedness, had been reasonably classified
                  in accordance with GAAP as a sale or transfer of defaulted FHA
                  or VA Mortgage Loans on a servicing retained basis to any

                  rights;

                             (xiii)  Indebtedness consisting of reserves for

                  or that are being contested in good faith by appropriate
                  proceedings; provided that adequate reserves with respect

                  property (other than REO Property) subject thereto or
                  materially interfere with the ordinary conduct of business;

                  (h)     Mergers, Sales or Consolidations.

                             (i)     Merge into or consolidate with any other
                  Person or sell, lease or otherwise dispose of any of its
                  property or assets (other than obsolete or worn-out property)
                  to any other Person, except as permitted or required under the
                  Loan Documents.

                             (ii)    Subject to the provisions, restrictions and
                  limitations set forth in the Loan Documents, (A) the Borrower
                  may sell Mortgage Loans (on a servicing released or servicing
                  retained basis), mortgage backed securities, Mortgage
                  Servicing Rights Held for Sale and Excluded Servicing Rights
                  in the ordinary course of business and (B) unless a Potential
                  Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing
                  or a Potential Default or an Event of Default is reasonably
                  likely to occur as a result of any of the following, the
                  Secured Parties hereby agree to release their lien on any
                  Non-Borrowing Base Collateral immediately and automatically
                  upon the Borrower's sale, granting of a security interest,
                  pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of such Collateral
                  to any other Person. The provisions of this Section shall be
                  automatic and self-operative to release the lien of the
                  Secured Parties on any Non-Borrowing Base Collateral without
                  any further documentation so long as no Potential Default or
                  Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or is
                  reasonably likely to result from such sale, grant, pledge,
                  hypothecation or other disposition; provided, however, that at
                  the request of the Borrower or any purchaser or grantee of a
                  security interest in any Non-Borrowing Base Collateral, the
                  Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall each, at
                  the Borrower's sole cost and expense, provide such letters of
                  release or confirmation, in form and substance reasonably
                  satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be necessary
                  in order to confirm the release of such Non-Borrowing Base
                  Collateral. Nothing contained in this Section shall permit the
                  Borrower to incur any Indebtedness or grant any Liens not
                  otherwise permitted pursuant to the Loan Documents. Unless a
                  Potential Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is
                  continuing, the Secured Parties agree that, notwithstanding
                  anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan
                  Document to the contrary, the Borrower shall not be required
                  to deliver possession of Mortgage Loans in the Non-Borrowing
                  Base Collateral to the Warehouse Collateral Agent.

                  (i)     Acquisitions. Purchase, acquire or incur liability for
the purchase or acquisition of all or substantially all of the assets or
business of any Person, except for the acquisition of Prime Credit Businesses
and as otherwise permitted or required under the Loan Documents.

                  (j)     Restricted Payments. During any calendar quarter, make
or pay any distribution or return on capital or dividend equivalent to any of
its partners, or make any payment on account of, or set apart assets for a
sinking or other analogous fund for, the repurchase, retirement, redemption or
other acquisition of any of its partnership interests from 


                                      -72-

<PAGE>   81
any of its partners, whether in cash, property or obligations, other than (i)
such distributions and payments in an aggregate amount not to exceed the
Estimated Tax Amount for the prior quarter, and (ii) other such distributions
and payments in an aggregate amount which, when added to the aggregate amount of
all other distributions and payments made or paid pursuant to this clause (ii)
during the twelve (12) month period ending on the last day of such prior quarter
and the aggregate amount of all loans or advances made during such twelve (12)
month period (less any loans or advances repaid during such twelve month
period), and investments made during such twelve (12) month period to
Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower permitted under Section 5.2(e)(ix),
shall not exceed an amount equal to twenty-seven and one-half percent (27.5%) of
the Net Income of the Borrower for such twelve (12) month period ending with
such prior quarter; provided that no action permitted by this Section 5.2(j)
shall be taken by the Borrower in respect of any calendar quarter until delivery
of the financial statements of the Borrower described in Section 5.1(a)(i) or
(ii), as applicable, to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders in respect of
such calendar quarter.

                  (k)     Transactions With Affiliates. Enter into any 
transaction (which is not otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents),
including the purchase, sale, lease or exchange of any property, the making or
borrowing of any loan or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate on
terms that are generally less favorable to it than those that might be obtained
at the time from Persons who are not Affiliates.

                  (l)     Conduct of Business.  Engage in any type of business 
that is not substantially similar to its business as conducted as of the Closing
Date.

                  (m)     Negative Pledge.  Grant a security interest in or Lien
upon, or provide a negative pledge with respect to any of its assets, to any
Person, other than as permitted or required by the Loan Documents.

                  (n)     ERISA.  Permit any of its ERISA Affiliates, directly 
or indirectly, to:

                             (i)     Terminate or withdraw from any Plan so as 
                  to result in any material liability to the PBGC;

                             (ii)    Engage in or permit any Person to engage in
                  any Prohibited Transaction involving any Plan that would
                  subject such Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates to any
                  material tax, penalty or other liability;

                             (iii)   Incur or suffer to exist any material 
                  Accumulated Funding Deficiency involving any Plan;

                  of security under section 401(a)(29) of the Code;

                             (v)     Fail to make payments required under 
                  section 412(m) of the Code and section 302(e) of ERISA that
                  would subject such Borrower or any of its ERISA Affiliates to
                  any material tax, penalty or other liability; or


                                      -73-

<PAGE>   82
                             (vi)    Allow or suffer to exist any event or
                  condition that presents a risk of incurring material liability
                  to the PBGC.

                  (o)     Effectiveness of Take-Out Commitments. Amend, void,
reduce, modify, violate, terminate or commit any act that would in any way
affect its Take-Out Commitments heretofore approved by the Administrative Agent
and related to any Mortgage Loans or Agency MBS pledged to the Warehouse
Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Secured Parties as Warehouse Collateral
under the Warehouse Security Agreement, or impair coverage under such Take-Out
Commitment for any such Mortgage Loans or Agency MBS unless, either (i) such
amendment, voiding, reduction, modification or act would not result in a
Material Adverse Effect, or (ii) such Take-Out Commitment is replaced by another
Take-Out Commitment with respect to the affected Mortgage Loans or Agency MBS.

                  (p)     VA Guaranties, FHA Insurance and Private Mortgage
Insurance. Commit, directly or indirectly, any act that would invalidate any VA
guarantee, FHA insurance or private mortgage insurance relating to any Mortgage
Loan pledged to the Warehouse Collateral Agent, for the benefit of the Secured
Parties, as Warehouse Collateral under the Warehouse Security Agreement.

                  (q)     Recourse Servicing. Permit the aggregate unpaid 
principal amount of Mortgage Loans included in the Servicing Portfolio for which
the Borrower has Recourse Direct Servicing Rights to exceed one percent (1%) of
the aggregate unpaid principal amount of all Mortgage Loans included in the
Servicing Portfolio.

                  (r)     HTP Financial Documents. Enter into, amend, modify or
supplement any of the HTP Financial Documents or permit PWRES to assign (other
than for collateral purposes with respect to the PWRES Financing Agreements) any
of its rights or obligations thereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided
such document, amendment, modification, supplement or assignment does not
materially increase the liabilities or materially reduce benefits to the
Borrower in relation to the liabilities and benefits contemplated by the term
sheet referenced in the definition of HTP Financial; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall promptly deliver true, correct and complete copies of all such
documents, amendments, modifications and supplements to the Administrative Agent
promptly after the execution thereof.

remain unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) the Borrower's

under circumstances that the Required Lenders determine could have a Material
Adverse Effect; and in case of the occurrence of any event or condition
described in clauses (i) through (iv) above, such event or condition together
with all other such events or conditions, if any, could subject the Borrower to
any tax, penalty or other liabilities which in the aggregate could have a

                  (m)     Security Interest. The Secured Parties shall cease 
for any reason (other than as expressly permitted under the Loan Documents) to
have a valid, perfected and first priority security interest in the Warehouse

or any other Person shall take any action to contest or assert the
unenforceability of any such security interest;

                  (n)     Dissolution. The Borrower or Harbourton Financial 
Services shall be dissolved, or Western Sunrise shall be dissolved without the
Borrower having taken all action reasonably required by the Administrative Agent

interests in the Borrower previously held by Western Sunrise (as defined in the
Guaranty (Western Sunrise)) or any of their respective General Partners shall
dissolve or commence dissolution proceedings;

                  (o)     Material Adverse Effect.  Any event or development

shall occur that could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;
or

                  (p)     Change of Control.  A Change of Control shall occur;

terminate immediately without any other notice of any kind; and (ii) declare the
principal of and any accrued interest on the Loans, and all other Obligations,
to be, whereupon the same shall become, immediately due and payable without
presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are
hereby waived by the Borrower; provided that, if an Event of Default specified
in Section 6.1(i) shall occur, the Commitments and the Swing-Line Commitment
shall terminate and all Obligations shall become immediately due and payable
automatically without the giving of any such notice and without presentment,
demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of which are hereby waived by
the Borrower.

                                   ARTICLE VII

                                   THE AGENTS

         Section 7.1      Appointment of the Agents.

                  Each Lender hereby designates Chemical Bank as Administrative
Agent and First Bank National Association as Co-Agent, in each case to act as
herein specified, and Chemical Bank and First Bank National Association each
agrees to act in such respective capacity. Each Lender hereby irrevocably
authorizes, and each holder of any Note by the acceptance of a Note shall be
deemed irrevocably to authorize, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Agent to
take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein
or therein and to exercise such 


                                      -77-

<PAGE>   86
powers and to perform such duties hereunder or thereunder as are specifically
delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent and the Co-Agent,
respectively, by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as are
reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Agents may perform any of its duties
hereunder or thereunder by or through its agents or employees.

         Section 7.2      Nature of Duties of the Agents.

                  Neither of the Agents shall have any duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents to which it is a party. Neither of the Agents nor any of
their respective officers, directors, employees or agents shall be liable for
any action taken or omitted hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or
therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct.
The duties of the Agents shall be mechanical and administrative in nature;
neither of the Agents shall have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or
shall be so construed as to impose upon either of the Agents any obligations in
respect of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set
forth herein or therein.

         Section 7.3      Lack of Reliance on the Agents.

                  (a)     Lenders' Independent Investigations. Independently and
without reliance upon either of the Agents, each Lender, to the extent it deems
appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and the
Guarantors in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in
connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the
Borrower and the Guarantors and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
neither of the Agents shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or
on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the
making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter.

                  (b)     Lack of Reliance. Neither of the Agents shall be
responsible to any Lender for any recitals, statements, information,
representations or warranties herein or in any document, certificate or other
writing delivered in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document
or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability,
collectibility, priority or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document or for the sufficiency of the Warehouse Collateral or the Pledge
Collateral or the validity, perfection or priority of any security interest
therein or the financial condition of the Borrower or the Guarantors or be
required to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of
any of the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or the Guarantors, or the
existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default.

                  (c)     Knowledge of Default. Neither of the Agents shall be
deemed to have knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or
Event of Default unless it has received notice from the other Agent, a Lender,
the Borrower, the Warehouse Collateral Agent or 


                                      -78-

<PAGE>   87
the Servicing Collateral Agent referring to the Loan Documents, describing such
Potential Default or Event of Default, and stating that such notice is a "Notice
of Default". In the event either Agent receives such a notice, it shall give
notice thereof to the other Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower, the Warehouse
Collateral Agent and the Servicing Collateral Agent.

         Section 7.4      Certain Rights of the Agents.

                  If either of the Agents shall request instructions (whether or
not in writing) from the Lenders with respect to any act or action (including
the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such
action unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the
Required Lenders, and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by
reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have
any right of action whatsoever against either of the Agents as a result of such
Agent's acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan
Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. The
provisions of this Section 7.4 are not intended to supersede the provisions of
Section 8.2 that require all of the Lenders to approve certain actions under the
Loan Documents.

         Section 7.5      Reliance by the Agents.

                  Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be
fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice,
statement, certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram,
radiogram, order or other documentary or teletransmission message believed by it
to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper
Person. Each of the Agents may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for
the Borrower), independent public accountants (including those retained by the
Borrower, subject to the provisions set forth in Section 5.1(e)) and other
experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted
to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts.

         Section 7.6      Indemnification of the Agents.

                  To the extent either of the Agents is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify such
Agent, in proportion to its respective Commitment (before giving effect to any
termination of the Commitments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), for and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees
and disbursements) or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be
imposed on, incurred by or asserted against such Agent in performing its duties
hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, in any way relating to or arising
out of this Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall
be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages,
penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting
from such Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

         Section 7.7      The Agents in Their Individual Capacities.


                                      -79-

<PAGE>   88
                  With respect to its obligation to lend under this Agreement,
the Loans made by it and the Notes issued to it, each of the Agents shall have
the same rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note and
may exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties specified
herein; and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders," "holders of Notes," or any
similar terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include
each of the Agents in its individual capacity. Each of the Agents may accept
deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking,
trust, financial advisory or other business with the Borrower and any Affiliate
of the Borrower as if such Agent were not performing the duties specified
herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrower and any
Affiliate of the Borrower for services in connection with this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents and otherwise without having to account for the same to the
Lenders.

         Section 7.8      Holders of Notes.

                  Each of the Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as
the owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of
the assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of
making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or
assignee of such Note or of any Note or notes issued in exchange therefor.

         Section 7.9      Successor Agents.

                  (a)     Resignation of Agents; Appointment of Successor. 
Either of the Agents may resign as Administrative Agent or Co-Agent hereunder,
as applicable, at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and
the Borrower provided that the applicable agent also resigns in such capacity
under the Servicing Credit Agreement. Upon any such resignation, the Required
Lenders, in consultation with and with the consent (which shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, shall appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, to act in such capacity under
both this Agreement and the Servicing Credit Agreement, which shall be a Lender.
If no successor Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, shall have been
so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days
after the retiring Administrative Agent's or Co-Agent's giving of notice of
resignation, then the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable,
may, on behalf of the Lenders, in consultation with and with the consent (which
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, appoint a
successor Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, to act in such
capacity under both this Agreement and the Servicing Credit Agreement, which
shall be a bank that maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial
bank organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State
thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $250,000,000; provided that any successor Administrative Agent or
Co-Agent, as applicable, appointed pursuant to this sentence may be removed by
the Required Lenders at any time with or without cause as long as such agent is
also removed in such capacity under the Servicing Credit Agreement.

                  (b)     Effectiveness of Successor Appointment. Any 
resignation of either of 


                                      -80-

<PAGE>   89
the Agents hereunder shall be effective only upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, hereunder and
under the Servicing Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent or
Co-Agent. Upon such acceptance, such successor Administrative Agent or Co-Agent,
as applicable, shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents after the date
of such acceptance. After any retiring Administrative Agent's or Co-Agent's
resignation as Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, the provisions
of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Co-Agent under
this Agreement.

                                  ARTICLE VIII

         Section 8.2      Amendments; Waivers.

                  No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document,
nor consent to any departure by the Borrower therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrower and the
Required Lenders, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be effective
only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given;
provided that: (a) no amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and
signed by all the Lenders do any of the following: (i) amend or waive any of the

principal amount of the Notes, or the number or identity of Lenders, which shall
be required for the Lenders or any of them to take any action hereunder, (vii)
release the Lien of the Secured Parties on any of the Warehouse Collateral or
the Pledge Collateral, except as provided in the Warehouse Security Agreement or
other applicable Loan Document, (viii) amend this Section 8.2 or Section 8.6,

shall, unless in writing and signed by the Administrative Agent, affect the
rights or duties of the Administrative Agent under this Agreement or any other

signed by the Co-Agent, affect the rights or duties of the Co-Agent under this

the rights or obligations of the Swing-Line Lender with respect to Swing-Line
Loans.

         Section 8.3      No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

                  No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or
any Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan
Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Guarantors and the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any
other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder or thereunder. The rights and
remedies expressly provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative
Agent or any Lender would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on the Borrower
or either of the Guarantors not required hereunder or under the other Loan
Documents in any case shall entitle the Borrower or either Guarantor to any
other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or
constitute a waiver of the rights of the Administrative Agent or any Lender to
any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand.

         Section 8.4      Payment of Expenses, Etc.

                  The Borrower agrees to:

                  (a)     Out-of-Pocket Costs. (i) Pay all reasonable out-of-
pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent incurred, both before and
after the execution hereof, in obtaining advice of counsel as to the rights and
duties of the Administrative Agent and the Lenders with respect to the
administration of, and in connection with the preparation, execution and
delivery of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) pay all
reasonable out-


                                      -82-

<PAGE>   91
of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender in the
preservation of rights under, enforcement of, and, after the occurrence of a
Potential Default or an Event of Default, refinancing, renegotiation or
restructuring of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents
and instruments referred to herein and therein including in connection with any
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding and
any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto and thereto (including the
reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel and (allocated costs of internal
counsel) for the Administrative Agent and, in the case of enforcement, for each
of the Lenders);

                  (b)     Stamp and Other Taxes. Pay and hold the Administrative
Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and
future stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters, and
hold the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and
all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay
such taxes; and

                  (c)     Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Indemnify the
Administrative Agent and each Lender, and their respective officers, directors,
employees, representatives and agents from, and hold each of them harmless
against, any and all out-of-pocket costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages
or expenses actually incurred by any of them (whether or not any of them is
designated a party thereto) arising out of or by reason of any investigation,
litigation or other proceeding related to any actual or proposed use by any of
the Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or entering into and performing
of the Loan Documents, including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel) incurred in connection
with any such investigation, litigation or other proceeding. The foregoing
indemnification shall apply regardless of whether such costs, losses,
liabilities, claims, damages or expenses are in any way or to any extent caused,
in whole or in part, by any negligent act or omission of any kind by the
Administrative Agent or any Lender; provided that neither the Administrative
Agent nor any Lender shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its
own gross negligence or willful misconduct.

If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.4
are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum
contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is
permissible under applicable law.

         Section 8.5      Right of Setoff.

                  Subject to Section 2.15, in addition to and not in limitation
of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each
Lender shall, for so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing and whether or not such Lender has made any demand or the Obligations
have matured, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the
Obligations, all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) then or thereafter held by (other than deposits or other property held by
the Borrower in which the Borrower has no beneficial interest), and other
indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing to the Borrower by, such
Lender, whether or not related to any Loan Document or any transaction
hereunder.

         Section 8.6      Benefit of Agreement; Assignments and Additional 
Lenders.

                  (a)     This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the
parties hereto; provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its
rights or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the
other Loan Documents without prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

                  (b)     Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), any 
Lender may make, carry or transfer Loans, at, to or for the account of, any of
its branch or agency offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

                  (c)     So long as a Potential Default or an Event of Default
shall not have occurred and be continuing, the Borrower may at any time propose
that one or more financial institutions (each, an "Applicant Lender") become an
additional Lender hereunder and under the Servicing Credit Agreement.
Simultaneously with the addition of the Applicant Lender as a Lender hereunder,
the Lenders shall sell a portion of each of their loans and commitments under
the Servicing Credit Agreement to the Applicant Lender so that the Applicant
Lender and each other Lender shall have the same proportionate share of Loans
and Commitments hereunder that it has under the Servicing Credit Agreement. The
Borrower shall notify the other parties hereto and the parties to the Servicing
Credit Agreement of the identity of such Applicant Lender, of the proposed
increase in the aggregate Commitments hereunder resulting from the addition of
such Applicant Lender as a Lender hereunder (provided, however that the
aggregate amount of all of the Commitments hereunder shall not exceed
$150,000,000 at any time), and of such Applicant Lender's proposed Commitment
(which must be not less than $16,000,000). Upon the Applicant Lender's addition
as a Lender hereunder, such Applicant Lender shall become a party hereto and a
Lender hereunder, shall be entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges
accorded a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and shall be
subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents.

                  (d)     Any Lender (an "Assigning Lender") may at any time and
from time to time propose that a financial institution (an "Assignee Lender")
become a Lender hereunder and under the Servicing Credit Agreement by way of
assignment of all or a portion of such Assigning Lender's Commitment and a
proportionate share of its Loans; provided that (i) such Assigning Lender shall
retain a Commitment in an amount no less than $16,000,000 (or if such Assigning
Lender is an Applicant Lender under Section 8.6 (c) or an Assignee Lender under
this Section 8.6(d), such lesser amount equal to such Applicant Lender's
Commitment or as such Assigning Lender may have been assigned, but in no event
less than $16,000,000) after giving effect to such sale or assignment unless
such sale or assignment has been made to an existing Lender or to an Affiliate
of such Assigning Lender, in which case such Assigning Lender may retain a
Commitment in an amount less than $16,000,000; (ii) such Assigning Lender shall
simultaneously assign the same proportionate share of its Servicing Commitments
and Servicing Loans to such Assignee Lender (it being the intention of the
parties that each Lender shall at all times have the same proportionate share of
Loans and Commitments under this Agreement as it has under the Servicing Credit
Agreement); and (iii) such Assigning Lender or such Assignee 


                                      -84-

<PAGE>   93
Lender shall have paid a $2,500 assignment fee to the Administrative Agent. At
such time, such Assigning Lender shall notify the Borrower, the Administrative
Agent and each of the other Lenders of the identity of such Assignee Lender and

Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents, and shall be subject to all
obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents; and such

have given their prior written consent to any Applicant Lender and to any
Assignee Lender that is not an existing Lender or an Affiliate of the Assigning
Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood
that no consent of the Borrower or the Agents shall be required for any Assignee
Lender that is an existing Lender or an Affiliate of the Assigning Lender) and
shall be given to the Applicant Lender or the Assigning Lender, as applicable,
not later than the tenth (10th) day following receipt by the Borrower and each
of the Agents of a written request for the inclusion of such Applicant Lender or
Assignee Lender as a Lender; and

                          (ii)     such Applicant Lender, the Borrower and the 
Agents or such Assignee Lender, such Assigning Lender and the Agents, as
applicable, shall have mutually agreed on the date (the "Adjustment Date") on
which such Applicant Lender or Assignee Lender, as the case may be, shall become
a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents. On such Adjustment Date:

                                   (A)    the Borrower, such Applicant Lender 
and the Agents, or such Assignee Lender, such Assigning Lender, the Borrower and
the Agents, as the case may be, shall execute and deliver to each of the other
signatories thereto an Additional Lender Agreement or an Assignment Agreement,
as applicable, and the Borrower shall deliver a copy of such executed Additional
Lender Agreement or Assignment Agreement to each of the Lenders;

                                   (B)    the Borrower shall execute and 
deliver to such Applicant Lender or Assignee Lender, as applicable, a Note; and

                                   (C)    the Administrative Agent shall 
deliver to each of the Lenders a Commitment Notice reflecting each Lender's
respective Commitment and the aggregate Commitments of all of the Lenders as of
the Adjustment Date after giving effect to the addition of such Applicant Lender
as a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents or the assignment by
the Assigning Lender to the Assignee Lender, as applicable.

                  (f)     Each Lender may transfer, grant or assign 
participations in all or any part of such Lender's interests and obligations
hereunder pursuant to this Section to another financial institution, provided
that (i) such Lender shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement
and the transferee of such participation shall not constitute a Lender hereunder
and (ii) no participant under any such participation shall have rights to
approve any amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document
except to the extent such amendment or waiver would (w) extend the final
scheduled maturity of any of the Loans or the Commitments in which such
participant is participating, (x) release any guarantors, (y) reduce the
interest rate (other than as a result of waiving the applicability of any
post-default increases in interest rates) or Fees applicable to any of the Loans
or Commitments or postpone the payment of any thereof or (z) release any
collateral under the Loan Documents. In the case of any such participation, the
participant shall not have any rights under this Agreement or any of the other
Loan Documents (the participant's rights against the granting Lender in respect
of such participation to be those set forth in the agreement with such Lender
creating such participation) and all amounts payable by the borrower under
Section 2.12 shall be determined as if such Lender had not sold such
participation.

                  (g)     Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the
Borrower and its Affiliates in the possession of such Lender from time to time
to Affiliates to such Lender and to assignees and participants (including
prospective assignees and participants) and such assignee and participant shall
keep any such non-public information confidential.

                  (h)     Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any
portion of its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any
Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of the Borrower. No such
pledge or assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations
hereunder.

                  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute the

         Section 8.14     Confidentiality.

                  Each Lender agrees not to disclose, without the prior written
consent of the Borrower, any of the financial information or other information
of the Borrower or any Affiliate of the Borrower designated in writing by the
Borrower as "confidential," and obtained under or in connection with this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
each Lender may disclose such information: (a) as is permitted under Section
8.6; (b) as is required by law or by subpoena or similar court order, or by any
governmental, regulatory or supervisory authority or official; (c) to counsel to
such Lender in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

supervising authority or official (other than any such request in connection
with an examination of the financial condition of such Lender by such authority
or otherwise in the ordinary course of its business) for disclosure of any such
information prior to disclosure of such information so that the Borrower may
seek an appropriate protective order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders
shall have no obligation to keep any such information confidential if such
information (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result
of the disclosure by any Lender in violation of this Section 8.14, (ii) is
available to any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to
such Lender by the Borrower or, if applicable, by the Lender from whom such
Lender has purchased its participation or assignment, or (iii) becomes available
to any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower
or, if applicable, the Lender from whom such Lender has purchased its
participation or assignment; and any Lender may disclose any such information in
connection with any litigation to which such Lender is party relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

<PAGE>   97
Agent with reasonable prior notice before the Borrower intends to execute and
deliver the HTP Financial Documents so that the Administrative Agent may
exercise its rights to reasonably approve the same as provided in Section
5.2(r). If the Agent approves the same, the parties shall execute and deliver
amendments to the Warehouse Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Security
Agreement, which amendments shall provide for the exclusion of the PWRES
Collateral (as hereinafter defined) from the Secured Parties' lien on the
Collateral, and which amendments shall be in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Administrative Agent. All costs and fees incurred by
Administrative Agent, including legal fees, in connection with this Section
shall be for the account of the Borrower. As used herein "PWRES Collateral"
shall mean (i) Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by the Borrower and
simultaneously sold to PWRES, and Mortgage Loans originated or acquired by the
Borrower and held not more than five (5) Business Days by the Borrower before
being sold to HTP Financial or PWRES, which Mortgage Loans are in either case
financed by PWRES under the PWRES Financing Agreements, (ii) the Borrower's
retained servicing and subservicing rights relating to the Mortgage Loans sold
to HTP Financial as described in clause (i) above, (iii) receivables resulting
from advances made for principal and interest payments, taxes and insurance
payments, and foreclosure related expenses financed by PWRES under the PWRES
Financing Agreements, (iv) Mortgage Loans sold by the Borrower to PWRES pursuant
to the PWRES gestation repurchase agreements where such sale has been
recharacterized as indebtedness secured by such Mortgage Loans, and (v) all
Proceeds of the foregoing (as such term is defined in the New York Uniform
Commercial Code).

         SECTION 8.16     WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING
WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT (INCLUDING ANY CLAIM
OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THEREWITH).

written notice to the Administrative Agent and each of the Lenders to (i)
terminate the Tranche B Commitments, the Tranche C Commitments or the Tranche D
Commitments in their entirety, or (ii) reduce the Tranche B Commitments, the
Tranche C Commitments or the Tranche D Commitments, provided that any such
reduction of Commitments shall reduce each Lender's applicable Commitment on a
pro rata basis in accordance with each such Lender's Percentage Share.

     Section 2.3 Method of Borrowing.

         (a) Borrowings. Whenever the Borrower desires to make a Borrowing
hereunder, or to convert any Loan into a different Type of Loan pursuant to
Section 2.4, or to continue any Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period, an
Authorized Officer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent notice of such
proposed Borrowing, conversion or continuation (a "Notice of Borrowing" or
"Notice of Conversion/Continuation", as the case may be) each such notice to be
given (x) prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of such proposed
Borrowing or conversion, in the case of a Borrowing of Alternate Base Rate Loans
or Fed Funds Loans or a conversion of LIBOR Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans
or Fed Funds Loans and (y) prior to 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the third
LIBOR Business Day before the date of such proposed Borrowing, conversion or
continuation, in the case of a Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, a conversion of
Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans into LIBOR Loans, or a continuation
of LIBOR Loans for an additional LIBOR Interest Period. Each such notice shall
be irrevocable and shall be in the form of Exhibit G or H, as the case may be.
Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary no more than five (5) LIBOR
Interest Periods may be in effect hereunder at any time.

         (b) Telephonic Notices. Without in any way limiting the Borrower's
obligation to deliver to the Administrative Agent a copy of any written Notice
of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, the Administrative Agent may
act without liability upon the basis of any telephonic notice of Borrowing or
notice of conversion/continuation, as the case may be, in each case believed by
the Administrative Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer prior to
receipt of written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrower hereby waives
the right to dispute the Administrative Agent's record of the terms of such
telephonic notice, absent manifest error, gross negligence or willful misconduct
by the Administrative Agent. An Authorized Officer shall promptly confirm in
writing any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation, as the
case may be, given by telephone, no later than the close of business on the
Business Day such notice is given; provided that such

                                      -25-


<PAGE>   132



Authorized Officer's failure to confirm any notice by telephone shall not in any
way limit the ability of the Administrative Agent to act upon such telephonic
notice without liability in accordance with the preceding sentence.

         (c) Notices to Lenders. The Administrative Agent shall promptly (and in
any event by 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of receipt of such
Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation give each Lender and
the Servicing Collateral Agent telefacsimile notice of each proposed Borrowing,
conversion or continuation, as the case may be, of such Lender's Percentage
Share thereof and of any other matters covered by such notice.

         (d) Notice of LIBOR Rate Determination. Upon determining the applicable
LIBOR Rate for each LIBOR Interest Period, the Administrative Agent shall notify
the Borrower and each Lender of such LIBOR Rate prior to 2:00 p.m. (New York
City time) on the second (2nd) LIBOR Business Day prior to the date of each
proposed Borrowing of LIBOR Loans, conversion of Alternate Base Rate Loans or
Fed Funds Loans into LIBOR Loans or a continuation of LIBOR Loans for an
additional LIBOR Interest Period, and such determination by the Administrative
Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

         (e) Affirmation of Representations. By delivering a Notice of
Conversion/Continuation to the Administrative Agent hereunder of the
continuation of any LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period or the
conversion of any Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans into LIBOR Loans,
the Borrower shall be deemed to have represented and warranted that no Potential
Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

     Section 2.4 Conversions and Continuations.

         (a) Conversions and Continuations. Subject to the terms and conditions
hereof and in accordance with the procedures for conversions and the other
provisions set forth in Section 2.3(a), each Lender agrees to convert
outstanding Loans from Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans into LIBOR
Loans and from LIBOR Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans (in
each case in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the aggregate principal
amount of the Alternate Base Rate Loans, Fed Funds Loans or LIBOR Loans, as the
case may be, then outstanding and being converted) and to continue outstanding
LIBOR Loans for additional LIBOR Interest Periods; provided that (i) any
conversion of LIBOR Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans may
only be made on the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable to such
LIBOR Loans being converted; and (ii) if an Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing, no outstanding Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds Loans may be
converted into LIBOR Loans and no LIBOR Loans may, at the end of the LIBOR
Interest Period applicable thereto, be continued as a LIBOR Loan for an
additional LIBOR Loan Interest Period. Each Lender will make such conversions
and continuations without an exchange of funds.

         (b) Conversions Upon Absence of Notice. If the Administrative Agent has
not received a timely Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation
from the

                                      -26-


<PAGE>   133



Borrower prior to the expiration of any LIBOR Interest Period for any
outstanding LIBOR Loans of the Borrower, the Borrower shall be deemed to have
irrevocably elected to convert such LIBOR Loans into Alternate Base Rate Loans.

     Section 2.5 Disbursement of Funds.

         (a) Funds Transfers to Pre-Disbursement Account. Each Lender shall make
available to the Administrative Agent an amount equal to such Lender's
Percentage Share of each proposed Borrowing, in immediately available funds by
wire transfer of such funds to the Pre-Disbursement Account no later than 3:00
p.m. on the date of the proposed Borrowing. The Administrative Agent shall hold
funds transferred to the Pre-Disbursement Account pending disbursement in
accordance with subsection (b) below.

         (b) Disbursement. Unless the Administrative Agent determines that any
applicable condition in Article III has not been satisfied, the Administrative
Agent shall make amounts held in the Pre-Disbursement Account with respect to a
proposed Borrowing available to the Borrower in immediately available funds by
wire transfer of such amounts to such account as the Borrower directs in writing
for such purpose (except for the proceeds of a Tranche C Borrowing which shall
be funded directly into the applicable Agency P&I Custodial Account) no later
than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on the date of the proposed Borrowing. If
any proposed Borrowing does not occur on the requested date because any
condition precedent herein specified has not been met, the Administrative Agent
shall so notify the Lenders promptly and shall return the amounts so received to
the respective Lenders.

         (c) Defaulting Lender; Reimbursement of Administrative Agent. Unless
the Administrative Agent has been notified by any Lender before 2:30 p.m. (New
York City time) on the date of a proposed Borrowing that such Lender does not
intend to make available to the Administrative Agent on such date an amount
equal to such Lender's Percentage Share of such Borrowing, the Administrative
Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent on such date, and the Administrative Agent may (but shall
not be obligated to) make available a corresponding amount to the Borrower. If
and to the extent any Lender fails to make its full amount available to the
Administrative Agent and the Administrative Agent in such circumstances has made
available such amount to the Borrower, such Lender shall on the next Business
Day following the date of such Borrowing make such amount available to the
Administrative Agent in immediately available funds by wire transfer of such
funds to such account as the Administrative Agent directs for such purpose,
together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate
applicable at the time of the Loans constituting such Borrowing for and
determined as of each day from the date of such Borrowing to the next Business
Day. A certificate of the Administrative Agent submitted to any Lender with
respect to amounts owing under this subsection (c) shall be conclusive and
binding, absent manifest error. If such amount is so made available, such
payment to the Administrative Agent shall constitute such Lender's Loan on the
Borrowing Date for all purposes of this Agreement. If such amount is not made so
available to the Administrative Agent on the next Business Day following the
Borrowing Date, the Administrative Agent shall notify the Borrower of such
failure to fund and, upon demand by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall
pay such

                                      -27-


<PAGE>   134



amount to the Administrative Agent for the Administrative Agent's account,
together with interest thereon for each day elapsed since the date of such
Borrowing, at a rate per annum equal to the interest rate applicable at the time
to the Loans constituting such Borrowing.

         (d) Obligations of Lenders Several and Not Joint. No Lender shall be
responsible for any default by any other Lender in its obligation to make Loans
hereunder, and each Lender shall be obligated to make the Loans on the terms set
forth herein, regardless of the failure of any other Lender to fulfill its
obligations hereunder.

     Section 2.6 Notes.

         The Borrower's obligation to repay the Loans made to it by each Lender
shall be evidenced by a promissory note (each, a "Note" and collectively, the
"Notes"), substantially in the form of Exhibit A, with blanks appropriately
completed in conformity therewith and payable to the order of such Lender. Each
Lender shall, and is hereby authorized by the Borrower to, endorse on the
schedule attached to the applicable Note delivered to such Lender (or on a
continuation of such schedule attached to such Note and made a part thereof), or
otherwise to record in such Lender's internal records, an appropriate notation
evidencing the date and amount of each Loan from such Lender, whether such Loan
is a Tranche A Loan, Tranche B Loan, Tranche C Loan or Tranche D Loan, the Type
of such Loan, each payment and prepayment of principal of any such Loan, each
payment of interest on any such Loan, applicable interest rates and LIBOR
Interest Periods, if any, and other information with respect thereto, and any
such recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence
of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided that the failure of any
Lender to make such a notation or any error therein shall not affect the
Obligations of the Borrower, including its Obligation to repay the Loans made by
such Lender in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the applicable
Notes.

     Section 2.7 Interest and Fees.

         (a) Fed Funds Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of
the unpaid principal amount of each Fed Funds Loan at a rate per annum equal to
the Federal Funds Rate in effect from time to time plus (i) one and
three-quarters of one percent (1.75%) if such Fed Funds Loan is a Tranche C
Loan, (ii) two percent (2.0%) if such Fed Funds Loan is a Tranche D Loan and
(iii) two and one-quarter of one percent (2.25%) if such Fed Funds Loan is a
Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan.

         (b) Alternate Base Rate Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in
respect of the unpaid principal amount of each Alternate Base Rate Loan at a
rate per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus (i) seven-eighths of one
percent (.875%) if such Alternate Base Rate Loan is a Tranche C Loan, (ii) one
percent (1.0%) if such Alternate Base Rate Loan is a Tranche D Loan, and (iii)
one and one-eighth of one percent (1.125%) if such Alternate Base Rate Loan is a
Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan.

         (c) LIBOR Loans. The Borrower agrees to pay interest in respect of the
unpaid principal amount of each LIBOR Loan for each day during the LIBOR

applicable thereto at a rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Rate for such LIBOR
Interest Period plus (i) one and three-quarters of one percent (1.75%) if such
LIBOR Loan is a Tranche C Loan, (ii) two percent (2.0%) if such LIBOR Loan is a
Tranche D Loan and (iii) two and one-quarter percent (2.25%) if such LIBOR Loan
is a Tranche A Loan or a Tranche B Loan.

         (d) Overdue Amounts. Overdue principal and interest in respect of each
Loan and all other overdue amounts owing hereunder shall bear interest for each
day that such amounts are overdue (before as well as after judgment) at a rate
per annum equal to the Alternate Base Rate in effect from time to time plus two
percent (2.0%).

         (e) Interest Accrual and Payment Dates. Interest on each Loan shall
accrue from and including the Borrowing Date thereof to but excluding the date
of any repayment thereof and shall be payable (i) monthly on or before the
second Business Day after receipt of the billing statement referred to in clause
(f) below, (ii) on any prepayment or repayment in full of all of any Lender s
outstanding Loans, (iii) at maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) and
(iv) after maturity, on demand.

         (f) Interest Billing Statements. The Administrative Agent shall deliver
to the Borrower an interest billing statement for each month on or before the
third Business Day of the next succeeding month, which interest billing
statement shall set forth the interest accrued on the Loans (including LIBOR
Loans) for such month; provided that any failure or delay in delivering such
interest billing statement to the Borrower or any inaccuracy therein shall not
affect the Obligations. The Administrative Agent shall deliver to each
applicable Lender, on the Business Day following the Borrower's payment of the
accrued interest set forth on such interest billing statement, a copy of such
statement with a confirmation that the accrued interest set forth thereon has
been paid by the Borrower. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any
Lender has entered into a separate written agreement of the type described in
Section 2.7(l), such Lender shall give promptly notice thereof to the
Administrative Agent and deliver its billing statement for such month directly
to the Borrower and shall collect any interest payments due to such Lender as
set forth in such billing statements; provided that if a Potential Default or an
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, such Lender shall
deliver a copy of its then current interest billing statement and each
subsequent interest billing statement to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower shall be instructed by such Lender to remit amounts due to such Lender
to the Administrative Agent. Each Lender providing notice to the Administrative
Agent pursuant to the previous sentence shall indemnify and hold the
Administrative Agent harmless from and against the collection of interest from
the Borrower with respect to the Loans accruing interest at the reduced rates as
described in Section 2.7(l) and agrees that the Administrative Agent shall have
no liability or obligation with respect to such collections.

         (g) Commitment Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a commitment fee (the "Commitment Fee") at
a rate per annum equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the amount of
such Lender's aggregate Unutilized Tranche B Commitments, Tranche C Commitments
(whether used or unused) and Tranche D Commitments (whether used or unused). The
Commitment Fees shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the last Business Day
of each quarter, commencing September 29, 1995.

                                      -29-


<PAGE>   136



         (h) Usage Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative Agent
for the account of each Lender a usage fee (the "Usage Fee") at a rate per annum
equal to one-quarter of one percent (0.25%) of the amount of such Lender's
aggregate Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans outstanding during each calendar
quarter. The Usage Fees shall be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears on
the last Business Day of each calendar quarter, commencing September 29, 1995.

         (i) Administrative Agent's and Arranger's Fee. The Borrower agrees to
pay to the Administrative Agent, for its own account, fees in the amount and on
the dates separately agreed to by the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

         (j) Tranche A Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender a fee (the "Tranche A Fee") equal to one
percent (1.00%) of the amount of such Lender's aggregate Tranche A Loan made on
the Closing Date. Such Tranche A Fee shall be due and payable on the Closing
Date.

         (k) Tranche B Fee. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Administrative
Agent for the account of each Lender that is a Lender as of the Closing Date a
fee (the "Tranche B Fee") equal to one percent (1.00%) of the amount of each
Tranche B Loan made by such Lender (each of which Tranche B Loans shall include,
for the purpose of determining the Tranche B Fee payable to each such Lender,
any Tranche B Loans made by assignees of such Lender). The Tranche B Fees shall
be due and payable on each date that a Tranche B Loan is made.

         (l) Reduced Interest Rates. Each Lender may from time to time, in its
sole discretion, offer to the Borrower to have a portion of such Lender's Loans
bear interest at a reduced interest rate in consideration of the Borrower's
maintenance of compensating balances with such Lender. Any such agreement
between such Lender and the Borrower shall be evidenced by a separate written
agreement executed by such Lender and the Borrower; provided that in no event
shall any Lender agree in such agreement to an interest rate on overdue amounts
hereunder that is less than the rate specified in Section 2.7(d).

         (m) Computations of Interest and Fees. All computations of interest and
Fees shall be made on the basis of a year of three hundred and sixty (360) days
for the actual number of days (including the first day but excluding the last
day) occurring in the period for which such interest or Fees are payable. Each
determination by the Administrative Agent of an interest rate or Fee hereunder
shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

     Section 2.8 Payments; Distributions and Applications of Payments.

         (a) Place and Time of Payments. Except as otherwise specifically
provided herein, all payments by or on behalf of the Borrower under this
Agreement and the Notes shall be made without defense, set-off or counterclaim
to the Administrative Agent no later than 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the
date when due, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is
received after 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) by the Administrative Agent, such
payment shall be deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day
and interest thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such
extension. All payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars in immediately
available funds at the Payment Office.

         (b) Next Business Day. Whenever any payment to be made hereunder or
under any Note is stated to be due on a day that is not a Business Day, the due
date thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding Business Day and, with
respect to payments of principal, interest thereon shall be payable at the
applicable rate during such extension.

         (c) Notice of Payments. On any date upon which the Borrower makes a
payment hereunder (by wire transfer of funds, by requesting the Administrative
Agent to apply funds in the Servicing Settlement Account and/or the Operating
Account to pay the Borrower's Obligations or otherwise), the Borrower shall give
notice to the Administrative Agent of such payment in the form attached hereto
as Exhibit L (a "Notice of Payment") by 1:30 p.m. (New York City time). Each
Notice of Payment shall be supported by a Borrowing Base Certificate and shall
advise the Administrative Agent as to: (i) whether the Borrower is requesting
application of funds in the Servicing Settlement Accounts to pay its
Obligations; (ii) whether such payment (or what portion thereof) is in respect
of principal, interest, Fees or other amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder;
(iii) if such payment is in respect of principal, (A) whether such payment is a
mandatory repayment required under Section 2.9 and, if applicable, the
designation of the Types of Loans to be repaid or (B) whether such payment is an
optional prepayment permitted under Section 2.10, and, if so, the Type(s) of
Loans the Borrower is prepaying; provided that a Notice of Payment delivered to
the Administrative Agent shall be for purposes of advising and assisting the
Administrative Agent in its duties hereunder and, in no event, shall the
foregoing be construed as obligating the Administrative Agent to apply funds in
accordance with any Notice of Payment delivered to it. For payments made in
respect of interest, the Borrower shall attach the applicable interest billing
statement to its Notice of Payment. The Borrower hereby irrevocably
unconditionally authorizes the Administrative Agent to debit the Operating
Account in the amount of interest and Fees due and payable on the due date for
such interest and Fees specified in Section 2.7 if such interest and Fees have
not been previously paid by the Borrower.

         (d) Distributions of Payments to Lenders. Upon receipt of any payment
hereunder, the Administrative Agent will promptly thereafter (and in any event
by the close of business on the day on which such funds are received if such
funds are received by the Administrative Agent at or prior to 1:30 p.m. (New
York City time) or, if such funds are received by the Administrative Agent after
1:30 p.m. (New York City time), by the close of business on

Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, the
Administrative Agent shall apply all payments of principal hereunder in
accordance with subsection (e) below, and if a Potential Default or an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Administrative Agent shall apply all

amount of such Loans, and, if applicable, the Administrative Agent shall apply
such funds pursuant to the order of allocation set forth in instructions
received from the Borrower, or if no such instructions are received, to the
order of allocation set forth in Section 2.10; and fourth, if any balance
remains after application of such funds in accordance with the foregoing clauses
first through third, the Administrative Agent shall release such balance to the
Borrower by transfer to the Operating Account or to such other account as such
Borrower directs the Administrative Agent in writing for such purpose.

         (f) Applications of Payments; Potential Default or Event of Default.

continuing, in which event such balance shall be applied in accordance with
subsection (e) above, or the maturity of the Loans and other Obligations (upon
scheduled maturity, acceleration or otherwise), in which event such balance
shall be applied in accordance with subsection (g) below. The Borrower hereby
consents to the Administrative Agent's holding of such funds as cash collateral
and grants to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of the Secured Parties a
security interest in such proceeds hereafter acquired by the Administrative
Agent, as collateral for the payment and performance of the Obligations.

         (g) Applications of Payments; Maturity of Loans. Upon and following the

application of such funds in accordance with the foregoing clauses first through
sixth, the Administrative Agent shall pay such proceeds to the Borrower by
transfer to the Operating Account or to the other account as the Borrower
directs the Administrative Agent in writing for such purpose.

     Section 2.9 Mandatory Repayment Events.

         (a) Facility Maturity. The Borrower shall repay all of its outstanding
Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans on the Term Loan Maturity Date and on any
date upon which the maturity of the Loans is accelerated pursuant to Section

         (b) Aggregate Principal Balance Limitations of Loans. (i) On any date
upon which the aggregate principal amount of any of the outstanding Loans
exceeds the applicable limitations set forth in Sections 2.1(c) or 2.1(d), or
the limitations set forth in clause (ii) below, the Borrower shall repay the
aggregate principal amount of such Loans as is necessary so that such aggregate
principal amount does not exceed such limitations. The Borrower may designate in
a Notice of Payment the Types of its Loans to be repaid and the order of
repayment thereof. If the Borrower fails to make such a designation, the
Administrative Agent shall apply any funds received from the Borrower pursuant
to this Section 2.9 as follows: first, to Tranche D Loans; second, to Tranche C
Loans; third, to Tranche B Loans; and fourth, to Tranche A Loans, and within
each such tranche, as follows: first, to such Loans that are Alternate Base Rate

aggregate principal amount of: (A) Tranche A Loans and Tranche B Loans
outstanding at any time exceed the lesser of (I) one and one-quarter of one
percent (1.25%) of the aggregate unpaid principal amount of Mortgage Loans
included in the Approved Servicing Portfolio (as reflected in the most recent
Servicing Portfolio Report delivered to the Administrative Agent, absent
manifest error in such report); and (II) sixty-five percent (65%) of the
appraised value of the Direct Servicing Rights relating to Mortgage Loans
included in the Approved Servicing Portfolio (as reflected in the most recent
Servicing Portfolio Report delivered to the Administrative Agent, absent
manifest error in such report); (B) Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Loans and Tranche
D loans outstanding at any time exceed the SubBorrowing Limit; and (C) Loans
outstanding at any time exceed the Maximum Borrowing Limit.

                (iii) Any repayment of Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans under
this Section 2.9(b) shall be applied to installments under Sections 2.9(c) or
2.9(d), respectively, in inverse order of maturities.

         (c) Amortization of Tranche A Loans. The Borrower shall repay the
aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Tranche A Loans in twenty (20)
equal quarterly installments, each such installment to be in an amount equal to
five percent (5%) of the aggregate principal amount of the Tranche A Loans
outstanding on the Closing Date after giving effect to the Tranche A Borrowing.
The Borrower shall make each such payment quarterly in arrears, with the first
such payment due on September 30, 1995 and each payment due thereafter on the
last Business Day of each subsequent calendar quarter. Any funds received by the
Administrative Agent as a repayment pursuant to this subsection (c) shall be
applied, as applicable, first, to Tranche A Loans that are Alternate Base Rate
Loans then outstanding, second, to Tranche A Loans that are Fed Funds Loans then
outstanding, and third, to Tranche A Loans that are LIBOR Loans then
outstanding.

         (d) Amortization of Tranche B Loans. The Borrower shall repay the

each in an amount equal to six and one-quarter percent (6.25%) of the aggregate
principal amount of the Tranche B Loans outstanding as of the first anniversary
of the Closing Date. The Borrower shall repay the aggregate principal amount of
any Tranche B Loans made after the first anniversary of the Closing Date and
outstanding as of the Tranche B Commitment Expiration Date in twelve (12) equal
quarterly installments, each in an amount equal to eight and one-third percent
(8.33%) of the aggregate principal amount of such Tranche B Loans outstanding on
the Tranche B Commitment Expiration Date. The Borrower shall make each such
installment payment on the Tranche B Loans quarterly in arrears, with the first
such payment due on September 30, 1996 and each payment thereafter due on the
last day of each subsequent calendar quarter. Any funds received by the
Administrative Agent from the Borrower as a repayment pursuant to this
subsection (d) shall be applied first, to Loans that are outstanding Alternate
Base Rate Loans, second, to such Loans that are outstanding Fed Funds Loans, and
third, to such Loans that are outstanding LIBOR Loans.

         (e) Tranche C Loans. The Borrower shall repay all outstanding Tranche C

                                      -35-


<PAGE>   142



Loans on or before the third (3rd) Business Day of each month, so that no
Tranche C Loans remain outstanding during the period commencing on the third
(3rd) Business Day up to but not including the fifteenth (15th) calendar day of
each month (or the prior Business Day if the fifteenth (15th) is not a Business
Day).

         (f) LIBOR Loans. All prepayment of LIBOR Loans under this Section 2.9
shall be subject to Section 2.13.

     Section 2.10 Optional Prepayments.

         (a) Notice of Payment; Designation of Payment Applications. The
Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay its
outstanding Loans, in whole or in part; provided that the Borrower shall deliver
to the Administrative Agent a Notice of Payment with respect to each of the
Borrower's prepayments prior to 1:30 p.m. (New York City time) on the day of
each such proposed prepayment; and provided further, that each partial
prepayment of any Loan shall be in an aggregate principal amount of $100,000 or
any multiple of $50,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall designate in the
Notice of Payment delivered in connection with any proposed prepayment whether
such prepayment is of Tranche A Loans, Tranche B Loans, Tranche C Loans or
Tranche D Loans.

         (b) Failure to Designate Payment Applications. If such Borrower fails
to make such a designation, the Administrative Agent shall apply any funds
received as a prepayment under this Section 2.10, to the extent applicable, as
follows: first, to Loans that are Alternate Base Rate Loans, second, to Loans
that are Fed Funds Loans, and third, to such Loans that are LIBOR Loans. Any
repayment of Tranche A Loans or Tranche B Loans under this Section 2.10 shall be
applied in inverse order of maturity.

         (c) No Premiums. All prepayments of Loans under this Section 2.10 shall
be without premium or penalty; provided that any prepayment of LIBOR Loans shall
be subject to the provisions of Section 2.13.

     Section 2.11 LIBOR Rate Not Determinable; Illegality or Impropriety.

         (a) LIBOR Rate Not Determinable. In the event, and on each occasion,
that on or before the day on which the LIBOR Rate for any LIBOR Interest Period
is to be determined, the Administrative Agent determines in good faith that the
LIBOR Rate cannot be determined for any reason, the Administrative Agent shall
give written notice of such determination, as soon as practicable thereafter, to
the Borrower and the Lenders. Following any such determination until the
Administrative Agent has advised the Borrower and the Lenders that the
circumstances giving rise to such notice no longer exist, any request by a
Borrower pursuant to Section 2.3 for a Borrowing of a LIBOR Loan, a conversion
of an Alternate Base Rate Loan or a Fed Funds Loan into a LIBOR Loan or a
continuation of a LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period shall be
deemed to be, respectively, a request for a Borrowing of an Alternate Base Rate
Loan (in the case of a request for a Borrowing of LIBOR Loan) or a conversion of
a LIBOR Loan into an Alternate Base Rate Loan (in the case of a request for a

                                      -36-


<PAGE>   143



conversion or continuation as described above). Each determination by the
Administrative Agent hereunder shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error.

         (b) Illegality or Impropriety. If any Lender determines at any time
that the introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule,
regulation, order or decree or in the interpretation or the administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such Governmental
Authority, makes it unlawful or improper for such Lender to make any LIBOR Loan,
convert any Alternate Base Rate Loan or Fed Funds Loan into a LIBOR Loan or
continue any LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period, as the case may
be, as contemplated by this Agreement, then such Lender shall immediately give
notice thereof to the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender,
which notice shall describe such illegality or impropriety in reasonable detail.
Effective immediately upon the giving of such notice, the obligation of such
Lender to make LIBOR Loans, convert any Alternate Base Rate Loans or Fed Funds
Loan into LIBOR Loans or continue any LIBOR Loans for an additional LIBOR
Interest Period, as the case may be, shall be suspended for the duration of such
illegality or impropriety. If and when such illegality or impropriety ceases to
exist, such suspension shall cease and such Lender shall notify the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender thereof. If any such
change makes it unlawful or improper for any Lender to maintain any outstanding
LIBOR Loan as a LIBOR Loan, such Lender shall, immediately upon the happening of
such event, notify the Administrative Agent, the Borrower and each other Lender
thereof, and the Borrower shall immediately (or if permitted by applicable law,
rule, regulation, order, decree, interpretation, request or directive, no later
than the date permitted thereby) convert each such LIBOR Loan into an Alternate
Base Rate Loan.

     Section 2.12  Reserve Requirements; Change in Circumstances.

         (a) Additional Taxes; Reserve Requirements. Notwithstanding any other
provision herein, if (i) after the date of this Agreement any change in
applicable law or regulation, or in the interpretation or administration
thereof, by any Governmental Authority charged with the interpretation or
administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) imposes any tax
on or changes the basis of taxation of payments to any Lender of the principal
of or interest on any LIBOR Loan made or funded by such Lender or any Fees or
other amounts payable hereunder (other than taxes imposed on the net income of
such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such Lender has its principal office or
lending office or by any political subdivision or taxing authority therein), OR
imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar
requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of or credit
extended by such Lender (except any such reserve requirement that is reflected
in the LIBOR Rate) OR imposes on such Lender any other condition affecting this
Agreement or LIBOR Loans by such Lender, AND (ii) the result of any of the
foregoing increases the cost to such Lender of making or maintaining any LIBOR
Loan or reduces the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Lender
hereunder (whether of principal, interest or otherwise) in respect thereof by an
amount that such Lender deems to be material, THEN the Borrower shall pay to
such Lender any additional amount or amounts necessary to compensate such Lender
for

                                      -37-


<PAGE>   144



such additional costs incurred or reduction suffered. The Borrower shall pay any
amount or amounts due to any Lender under this subsection (a) to such Lender
within ten (10) days after receipt by the Borrower of a statement from such
Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts due and the
basis for the determination of such amount or amounts, which statement shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

         (b) Capital Adequacy. If any Lender determines that the adoption after
the date hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital
adequacy, or any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or
administration thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable
agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance
by such Lender (or any lending office of such Lender) or by the holding company
of such Lender, as the case may be, with any request or directive regarding
capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority,
central bank or comparable agency, will reduce the rate of return on such
Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's holding company, as the case
may be, as a consequence of such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents
to a level below that which such Lender or such Lender's holding company, as the
case may be, could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance
(taking into consideration such Lender's policies or such Lender's holding
company's policies, as the case may be, with respect to capital adequacy) by an
amount that such Lender deems to be material, THEN the Borrower shall reimburse
such Lender or such Lender's holding company, as the case may be, for such
reduction. The Borrower shall pay any amount or amounts due to any Lender under
this subsection (b) to such Lender within ten (10) days after receipt by the
Borrower of a statement from such Lender setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount or amounts due and the basis for the determination from time to time of
such amount or amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error.

         (c) Change in Lending Office. Each Lender agrees to use reasonable
efforts to change its lending office to avoid or minimize (i) any amounts that
might otherwise be payable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.12 or
pursuant to Section 2.14 or (ii) the effect of any event referred to in Section
2.11(b); provided that such efforts do not impose on such Lender any additional
cost or any legal, regulatory or administrative burdens that such Lender deems,
in its sole discretion, to be material.

         (d) Lender Compensation. Failure on the part of any Lender to demand
compensation for any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or
receivable or reduction in return on capital with respect to any period shall
not constitute a waiver of such Lender's right to demand compensation with
respect to such period or any other period; provided that the Lender makes
demand therefor within one-hundred eighty (180) days after it first obtains
knowledge of the specific right to, and the specific amount of, compensation in
question. The protection of this Section 2.12 shall be available to any Lender
regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or inapplicability of
the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or condition that has
occurred or been imposed.

     Section 2.13 Indemnity.

         The Borrower shall indemnify each Lender against any loss or expense
that such Lender sustains or incurs as a consequence of (a) any failure by the
Borrower to fulfill on the date of any Borrowing hereunder the applicable
conditions set forth in Article III (unless such condition is waived in writing
by the Lenders), (b) any failure by the Borrower to borrow any LIBOR Loan
hereunder, to convert any Alternate Base Rate Loan or Fed Funds Loan into a
LIBOR Loan or to continue any LIBOR Loan for an additional LIBOR Interest Period
after irrevocable notice of such Borrowing, conversion or continuation has been
given pursuant to Section 2.3, (c) any mandatory repayment or optional
prepayment of a LIBOR Loan, any conversion of a LIBOR Loan required by any
provision of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day
of the LIBOR Interest Period applicable thereto, (d) any default in mandatory
repayment or optional prepayment of the principal amount of any LIBOR Loan or
any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at
the due date thereof, by irrevocable notice of optional prepayment or otherwise)
or (e) the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any
loss or reasonable expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing
deposits from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Loan or any part
thereof as a LIBOR Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include an amount
equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably determined by such Lender, of (i) its
cost of obtaining the funds for the Loan being mandatorily repaid, optionally
prepaid or converted or not borrowed, converted or continued (based on the LIBOR
Rate applicable thereto) for the period from the date of such mandatory
repayment, optional prepayment or conversion or failure to borrow, convert or
continue to the last day of the LIBOR Interest Period for such Loan (or, in the
case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, the LIBOR Interest Period for
such Loan that would have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow,
convert or continue) over (ii) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined
by such Lender) that such Lender would realize in re-employing the funds so
mandatorily repaid, optionally prepaid or converted or not borrowed, converted
or continued for such period or LIBOR Interest Period, as the case may be. A
certificate of any Lender setting forth in reasonable detail any amount or
amounts that such Lender is entitled to receive pursuant to this Section 2.13
shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error. Any such amount or amounts shall be due and payable no later
than ten (10) days following the Borrower's receipt of such notice.

     Section 2.14 Taxes.

         (a) Payment of Taxes Withheld From Amounts Payable. All payments made
by the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents 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 the Administrative Agent, the Servicing Collateral Agent and each
Lender, net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of net income
taxes) imposed on the Administrative Agent, the Servicing Collateral Agent or
such Lender, as the case may be, as a result of a present or former connection
between the jurisdiction of the government or taxing

                                      -39-


<PAGE>   146



authority imposing such tax and the Administrative Agent, the Servicing
Collateral Agent or such Lender (excluding a connection arising solely from the
Administrative Agent, the Servicing Collateral Agent or such Lender having
executed, delivered, performed its obligations or received a payment under, or
enforced, this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) or any political
subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes,
levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being
hereinafter called "Taxes"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any
amounts payable to the Administrative Agent, the Servicing Collateral Agent or
any Lender hereunder or under other Loan Documents, the amounts so payable to
the Administrative Agent, the Servicing Collateral Agent, or such Lender shall
be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Administrative Agent, the
Collateral Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any
such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by
the Borrower, as promptly as possible thereafter, the Borrower shall send to the
Administrative Agent for its own account or for the account of the Servicing
Collateral Agent or such Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an
original official receipt received by the Borrower showing payment thereof. If
the Borrower fails to pay any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority
or fails to remit to the Administrative Agent the required receipts or other
required documentary evidence, the Borrower shall indemnify, as applicable, the
Administrative Agent, the Servicing Collateral Agent and the Lenders for any
incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the
Administrative Agent, the Servicing Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result
of any such failure. The agreements in this subsection (a) shall survive the
termination of this Agreement and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts
payable under the Loan Documents.

         (b) Lender Incorporation; Certifications. Each Lender that is a party
hereto on the date hereof represents and warrants that it is incorporated under
the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof. Each Lender
becoming a party hereto after the date hereof agrees that it will on or before
the first interest payment date after it becomes a party hereto deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent either a statement that it is incorporated
under the laws of the United States of America or a state thereof or, if not so
incorporated, (i) two (2) duly completed copies of United States Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224 or an applicable successor form, as the case
may be, and (ii) an Internal Revenue Service Form W-8 or W-9 or any successor
form. Each such Lender not so incorporated also agrees to deliver to the
Borrower and the Administrative Agent two (2) further copies of such Form 1001
or 4224 and Form W-8 or W-9, or applicable successor 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 Borrower or the
Administrative Agent, together with such extensions or renewals thereof as may
reasonably be requested by the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, unless in
any such case an event (including any change in treaty, law or regulation) has
occurred before the date on which any such delivery would otherwise be required
that renders all such forms inapplicable or that would prevent such Lender from
duly completing and delivering any such form with respect to it, and such Lender
so advises the Borrower and the Administrative Agent. Such Lender shall certify
(A) in the case of a Form 1001 or 4224, that it is entitled to receive payments
under this

                                      -40-


<PAGE>   147



Agreement without deduction or withholding of any United States federal income
taxes and (B) in the case of a Form W-8 or W-9, that it is entitled to an
exemption from United States backup withholding tax.

         (c) Taxes Borne by Lender. This Section 2.14 shall not require the
Borrower to pay any increased amount on account of Taxes to any Lender to the
extent such Taxes would not have been payable if such Lender had furnished a
statement or form (properly and accurately completed in all material respects)
that it was required to furnish in accordance with subsection (b) above. Such
Taxes shall be borne solely by such Lender.

     Section 2.15 Sharing of Setoffs.

         Each Lender (the "Setoff Lender") agrees that if (a) it obtains payment
(voluntary or involuntary) in respect of any Obligation (i) through the exercise
of a right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrower or
either of the Guarantors, (ii) pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of
Title 11 of the United States Code, or other security or interest arising from,
or in lieu of, such secured claim, received by the Setoff Lender under any
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law or otherwise, or (iii) by
any other means, AND (b) such payment causes the unpaid portion of the
Obligations owed to the Setoff Lender to be proportionately less than the unpaid
portion of the Obligations owed to any other Lender (the "Selling Lender"), THEN
the Setoff Lender shall purchase from the Selling Lender, and the Selling Lender
shall simultaneously sell and assign to the Setoff Lender, at face value a
portion of the Obligations of the Selling Lender, so that the aggregate unpaid
amount of the Obligations and assigned Obligations held by each Lender after
such sale and assignment are in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid
amount of all Obligations then outstanding as the amount of Obligations owed to
such Lender prior to such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or
other event was to the principal amount of all Obligations outstanding prior to
such exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided
that if any such purchase or purchases or adjustments are made pursuant to this
Section 2.15 and the payment giving rise thereto is thereafter recovered, such
purchase or purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such
recovery and the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without
interest. The Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and
agrees that any Lender holding an assignment of an Obligation deemed to have
been so purchased may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or
counterclaim with respect to any and all moneys owing by it to such Lender by
reason thereof, as fully as if such Lender had made a loan directly to each of
them in the amount of such assignment.

     Section 2.16 Replacement of Lenders.

         If (a) any Lender notifies the Administrative Agent and the Borrower
pursuant to Section 2.11 that it is unlawful or improper for such Lender to make
or maintain LIBOR Loans, (b) any Lender requires the Borrower to pay additional
amounts pursuant to Section 2.12(a) for additional costs incurred or reductions
suffered by such Lender in connection with LIBOR Loans made or maintained by
such Lender, or (c) any Lender requires the Borrower to reimburse such Lender or
such Lender's holding company pursuant to Section 2.12(b) for reduction in the
rate of

                                      -41-


<PAGE>   148



return on such Lender's capital or the capital of such Lender's holding company
as a result of such Lender's obligations under the Loan Documents, THEN the
Borrower may require such Lender to sell all of its outstanding Loans and
Commitments, pursuant to Section 8.6(c), to another Lender (if any other Lender
agrees, in its sole and absolute discretion, to purchase such Loans and
commitments) or to any other financial institution acceptable to the
Administrative Agent in its sole and absolute discretion that is willing to make
and maintain LIBOR Loans. The purchase price for such Loans and Commitments
shall be equal to (i) the aggregate principal amount of Loans, if any, of such
Lender outstanding as of the purchase date thereof, (ii) interest accrued on
such Loans up to but excluding such purchase date, and (iii) an amount equal to
all other accrued but unpaid payment Obligations owed to such Lender, including
any accrued but unpaid Fees.

                (ii) Subject to the provisions, restrictions and limitations set

     Rights in the ordinary course of business and (B) unless a Potential
     Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or a
     Potential Default or an Event of Default is reasonably likely to occur as a
     result of any of the following, the Secured Parties hereby agree to release
     their lien on any Non-Borrowing Base Collateral immediately and
     automatically upon the Borrower's sale, granting of a security interest,
     pledge, hypothecation, or other disposition of such Collateral to any other
     Person. The provisions of this Section shall be automatic and
     self-operative to release the lien of the Secured Parties on any
     Non-Borrowing Base Collateral without any further documentation so long as
     no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or
     is reasonably likely to result from such sale, grant, pledge, hypothecation
     or other disposition; provided, however, that at the request of the
     Borrower or any purchaser or grantee of a security interest in any
     Non-Borrowing Base Collateral, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative
     Agent shall each, at the Borrower's sole cost and expense, provide such
     letters of release or confirmation, in form and substance reasonably
     satisfactory to the Administrative Agent, as may be necessary in order to
     confirm the release of such Non-Borrowing Base Collateral. Nothing
     contained in this Section shall permit the Borrower to incur any
     Indebtedness or grant any Liens not otherwise permitted pursuant to the
     Loan Documents. Unless a Potential Default or an Event of Default has
     occurred and is continuing, the Secured Parties agree that, notwithstanding
     anything contained in this Agreement or any other Loan Document to the
     contrary, the Borrower shall not be required to deliver possession of
     Mortgage Loans in the Non-Borrowing Base Collateral to the Warehouse
     Collateral Agent.

         (i) Acquisitions. Purchase, acquire or incur liability for the purchase
or

                                      -63-

         (j) Restricted Payments. During any calendar quarter, make or pay any
distribution or return on capital or dividend equivalent to any of its partners,
or make any payment on account of, or set apart assets for a sinking or other
analogous fund for, the repurchase, retirement, redemption or other acquisition
of any of its partnership interests from any of its partners, whether in cash,
property or obligations, other than (i) such distributions and payments in an
aggregate amount not to exceed the Estimated Tax Amount for the prior quarter,
and (ii) other such distributions and payments in an aggregate amount which,
when added to the aggregate amount of all other distributions and payments made
or paid pursuant to this clause (ii) during the twelve (12) month period ending
on the last day of such prior quarter and the aggregate amount of all loans or
advances made during such twelve (12) month period (less any loans or advances
repaid during such twelve month period), and investments made during such twelve
(12) month period to Subsidiaries or Affiliates of the Borrower permitted under
Section 5.2(e)(ix), shall not exceed an amount equal to twenty-seven and
one-half percent (27.5%) of the Net Income of the Borrower for such twelve (12)
month period ending with such prior quarter; provided that no action permitted
by this Section 5.2(j) shall be taken by the Borrower in respect of any calendar
quarter until delivery of the financial statements of the Borrower described in
Section 5.1(a)(i) or (ii), as applicable, to the Administrative Agent and the
Lenders in respect of such calendar quarter.

         (k) Transactions With Affiliates. Enter into any transaction (which is
not otherwise permitted under the Loan Documents), including the purchase, sale,
lease or exchange of any property, the making or borrowing of any loan or the
rendering of any service, with any Affiliate on terms that are generally less
favorable to it than those that might be obtained at the time from Persons who
are not Affiliates.

         (l) Conduct of Business. Engage in any type of business that is not
substantially similar to its business as conducted as of the Closing Date.

         (m) Negative Pledge. Grant a security interest in or Lien upon, or
provide a negative pledge with respect to any of its assets, to any Person,
other than as permitted or required by the Loan Documents.

         (n) ERISA. Permit any of its ERISA Affiliates, directly or indirectly,
to:

                (i) Terminate or withdraw from any Plan so as to result in any
     material liability to the PBGC; 

                (ii) Engage in or permit any Person to engage in any Prohibited
     Transaction involving any Plan that would subject such Borrower or any of
     its ERISA Affiliates to any material tax, penalty or other liability; 

                (iii) Incur or suffer to exist any material Accumulated Funding

                                      -64-

     Deficiency involving any Plan; 

                (iv) Amend any Plan so as to require the posting of security

                (v) Fail to make payments required under section 412(m) of the
     Code and section 302(e) of ERISA that would subject such Borrower or any of
     its ERISA Affiliates to any material tax, penalty or other liability; or

                (vi) Allow or suffer to exist any event or condition that
     presents a risk of incurring material liability to the PBGC.

         (o) Recourse Servicing. Permit the aggregate unpaid principal amount of
Mortgage Loans included in the Servicing Portfolio for which the Borrower has
Recourse Direct Servicing Rights to exceed one percent (1%) of the aggregate
unpaid principal amount of all Mortgage Loans included in the Servicing
Portfolio.

any of the HTP Financial Documents or permit PWRES to assign (other than for
collateral purposes with respect to the PWRES Financing Agreements) any of its
rights or obligations thereunder without the prior written consent of the
Administrative Agent which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld provided
such document, amendment, modification, supplement or assignment does not
materially increase the liabilities or materially reduce benefits to the
Borrower in relation to the liabilities and benefits contemplated by the term
sheet referenced in the definition of HTP Financial; provided, however, that the
Borrower shall promptly deliver true, correct and complete copies of all such
documents, amendments, modifications and supplements to the Administrative Agent
promptly after the execution thereof.

         (q) Release of Collateral. Sell or transfer, or take any action to
contest the enforceability of or cause the release of any lien upon any
Collateral which is part of the Approved Servicing Portfolio, without the prior
consent of the Administrative Agent in the exercise of its sole discretion.

unremedied for five (5) days after the earlier of (i) the Borrower's obtaining
actual knowledge thereof or (ii) notice thereof shall have been given to the

                                   THE AGENTS

     Section 7.1 Appointment of the Agents.

         Each Lender hereby designates Chemical Bank as Administrative Agent and
First Bank National Association as Co-Agent, in each case to act as herein
specified, and Chemical Bank and First Bank National Association each agrees to
act in such respective capacity. Each Lender hereby irrevocably authorizes, and
each holder of any Note by the acceptance of a Note shall be deemed irrevocably
to authorize, the Administrative Agent and the Co-Agent to take such action on
its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to
exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder or thereunder as are
specifically delegated to or required of the Administrative Agent and the
Co-Agent, respectively, by the terms hereof and thereof and such other powers as
are reasonably incidental thereto. Each of the Agents may perform any of its
duties hereunder or thereunder by or through its agents or employees.

     Section 7.2 Nature of Duties of the Agents.
    
         Neither of the Agents shall have any duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to
which it is a party. Neither of the Agents nor any of their respective officers,
directors, employees or agents shall be liable for any action taken or omitted
hereunder or thereunder or in connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by
its or their gross negligence or willful misconduct. The duties of the Agents
shall be mechanical and administrative in nature; neither of the Agents shall
have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan Document a fiduciary
relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this Agreement or any
other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or shall be so construed
as to impose upon either of the Agents any obligations in respect of this
Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein or
therein.

     Section 7.3 Lack of Reliance on the Agents.

         (a) Lenders' Independent Investigations. Independently and without
reliance upon either of the Agents, each Lender, to the extent it deems
appropriate, has made and shall continue to make (i) its own independent
investigation of the financial condition and affairs of the Borrower and the
Guarantors in connection with the taking or not taking of any action in
connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of the
Borrower and the Guarantors and, except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
neither of the Agents shall have any duty or responsibility, either initially or
on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit or other
information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession before the
making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter.


                                      -69-
<PAGE>   176

         (b) Lack of Reliance. Neither of the Agents shall be responsible to any
Lender for any recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties
herein or in any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection
with this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the execution,
effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority
or sufficiency of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the
sufficiency of the Servicing Collateral or the Pledge Collateral or the
validity, perfection or priority of any security interest therein or the
financial condition of the Borrower or either of the Guarantors or be required
to make any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of
the terms, provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, or the financial condition of the Borrower or the Guarantors, or the
existence or possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default.

         (c) Knowledge of Default. Neither of the Agents shall be deemed to have
knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Potential Default or Event of
Default unless it has received notice from the other Agent, a Lender, the
Borrower, the Warehouse Collateral Agent or the Servicing Collateral Agent
referring to the Loan Documents, describing such Potential Default or Event of
Default, and stating that such notice is a "Notice of Default". In the event
either Agent receives such a notice, it shall give notice thereof to the other
Agent, the Lenders, the Borrower, the Warehouse Collateral Agent and the
Servicing Collateral Agent.

     Section 7.4 Certain Rights of the Agents.
    
         If either of the Agents shall request instructions (whether or not in
writing) from the Lenders with respect to any act or action (including the
failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan Document,
such Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such action
unless and until such Agent shall have received instructions from the Required
Lenders, and such Agent shall not incur liability to any Lender by reason of so
refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender shall have any right of
action whatsoever against either of the Agents as a result of such Agent's
acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan Document in
accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders. The provisions of this
Section 7.4 are not intended to supersede the provisions of Section 8.2 that
require all of the Lenders to approve certain actions under the Loan Documents.

     Section 7.5 Reliance by the Agents.

         Each of the Agents shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, statement,
certificate, telex, teletype or telecopier message, cablegram, radiogram, order
or other documentary or teletransmission message believed by it to be genuine
and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. Each of
the Agents may consult with legal counsel (including counsel for the Borrower),
independent public accountants (including those retained by the Borrower,
subject to the provisions set forth in Section 5.1(e)) and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts.

<PAGE>   177

     Section 7.6 Indemnification of the Agents.

         To the extent either of the Agents is not reimbursed and indemnified by
the Borrower, each Lender will reimburse and indemnify such Agent, in proportion
to its respective Commitment (before giving effect to any termination of the
Commitments pursuant to the terms of this Agreement), for and against any and
all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments,
suits, costs, expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and disbursements) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against such Agent in performing its duties hereunder and under
the other Loan Documents, in any way relating to or arising out of this
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; provided that no Lender shall be liable
for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements resulting from such
Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct.

     Section 7.7 The Agents in their Individual Capacities.
    
         With respect to its obligation to lend under this Agreement, the Loans
made by it and the Notes issued to it, each of the Agents shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may
exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties specified herein;
and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders," "holders of Notes," or any similar
terms shall, unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include each of the
Agents in its individual capacity. Each of the Agents may accept deposits from,
lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust, financial
advisory or other business with the Borrower and any Affiliate of the Borrower
as if such Agent were not performing the duties specified herein, and may accept
fees and other consideration from the Borrower and any Affiliate of the Borrower
for services in connection with this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and
otherwise without having to account for the same to the Lenders.

     Section 7.8 Holders of Notes.

         Each of the Agents may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the
owner thereof for all purposes hereof unless and until a written notice of the
assignment or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Administrative
Agent. Any request, authority or consent of any Person who, at the time of
making such request or giving such authority or consent, is the holder of any
Note shall be conclusive and binding on any subsequent holder, transferee or
assignee of such Note or of any Note or notes issued in exchange therefor.

     Section 7.9 Successor Agents.

         (a) Resignation of Agents; Appointment of Successor. Either of the
Agents may resign as Administrative Agent or Co-Agent hereunder, as applicable,
at any time by giving written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrower
provided that the applicable agent also resigns in such capacity under the
Warehouse Credit Agreement. Upon any such resignation, the Required Lenders, in
consultation with and with the consent (which shall not be unreasonably withheld
or delayed) of the Borrower, shall appoint a successor Administrative Agent or
Co-Agent, as applicable, to act in such capacity under both this Agreement and
the 


                                      -71-
<PAGE>   178

Warehouse Credit Agreement, which shall be a Lender. If no successor
Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, shall have been so appointed,
and shall have accepted such appointment, within thirty (30) days after the
retiring Administrative Agent's or Co-Agent's giving of notice of resignation,
then the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, may, on
behalf of the Lenders, in consultation with and with the consent (which shall
not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Borrower, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, to act in such capacity under
both this Agreement and the Warehouse Credit Agreement, which shall be a bank
that maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank organized
under the laws of the United States of America or of any State thereof, or any
Affiliate of such bank, having a combined capital and surplus of at least
$250,000,000; provided that any successor Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as
applicable, appointed pursuant to this sentence may be removed by the Required
Lenders at any time with or without cause as long as such agent is also removed
in such capacity under the Warehouse Credit Agreement.

         (b) Effectiveness of Successor Appointment. Any resignation of either
of the Agents hereunder shall be effective only upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, hereunder and
under the Warehouse Credit Agreement by a successor Administrative Agent or
Co-Agent. Upon such acceptance, such successor Administrative Agent or Co-Agent,
as applicable, shall succeed to and become vested with all the rights, powers,
privileges and duties of the retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, and the
retiring Administrative Agent or Co-Agent shall be discharged from its duties
and obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents after the date
of such acceptance. After any retiring Administrative Agent's or Co-Agent's
resignation as Administrative Agent or Co-Agent, as applicable, the provisions
of this Article VII shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or
omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent or Co-Agent under
this Agreement.

     Section 8.3 No Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.

         No failure or delay on the part of the Administrative Agent or any
Lender in exercising any right or remedy hereunder or under any other Loan
Document and no course of dealing between the Borrower or the Guarantors and the
Administrative Agent or any Lender shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall
any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder or under any
other Loan Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right or remedy hereunder or thereunder. The rights and
remedies expressly provided herein and in the other Loan Documents are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights or remedies that the Administrative

notice to or demand on the Borrower or either of the Guarantors not required
hereunder or under the other Loan Documents in any case shall entitle the
Borrower or either Guarantor to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of the
Administrative Agent or any Lender to any other or further action in any
circumstances without notice or demand.

     Section 8.4 Payment of Expenses, Etc.
    
         The Borrower agrees to:

Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and (ii) pay all reasonable
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Administrative Agent and each Lender in
the preservation of rights under, enforcement of, and, after the occurrence of a
Potential Default or an Event of Default, refinancing, renegotiation or
restructuring of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the documents
and instruments referred to herein and therein including in connection with any
bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, reorganization or similar proceeding and

of the Lenders);

         (b) Stamp and Other Taxes. Pay and hold the Administrative Agent and
each of the Lenders harmless from and against any and all present and future
stamp and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters, and hold
the Administrative Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all

taxes; and

         (c) Indemnification of Administrative Agent. Indemnify the

against, any and all out-of-pocket costs, losses, liabilities, claims, damages
or expenses actually incurred by any of them (whether or not any of them is
designated a party thereto) arising out of or by reason of any investigation,
litigation or other proceeding related to any actual or proposed use by the
Borrower of the proceeds of any of the Loans or entering into and performing of
the Loan Documents to which it is a party, including the reasonable fees and
disbursements of counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel)
incurred in connection with any such investigation, litigation or other

by the Administrative Agent or any Lender; provided that neither the
Administrative Agent nor any Lender shall have the right to be indemnified
hereunder for its own gross negligence or willful misconduct. 

If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrower under this Section 8.4
are unenforceable 


                                      -74-

for any reason, the Borrower hereby agrees to make the maximum contribution to
the payment and satisfaction of such obligations which is permissible under
applicable law.

     Section 8.5 Right of Setoff.

         Subject to Section 2.15, in addition to and not in limitation of all
rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, each Lender
shall, for so long as any Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing
and whether or not such Lender has made any demand or the Obligations have
matured, have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the
Obligations, all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or
final) then or thereafter held by, (other than deposits or other property held
by the Borrower in which the Borrower has no beneficial interest), and other
indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing to the Borrower by, such
Lender, whether or not related to any Loan Document or any transaction
hereunder.

     Section 8.6 Benefit of Agreement; Assignments and Additional Lenders.
    
         (a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto; provided that the Borrower may not assign or transfer any of its rights
or delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents without the prior written consent of all of the Lenders.

         (b) Subject to the provisions of Section 2.12(c), any Lender may make,
carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of, any of its branch or
agency offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

         (c) Any Lender (an "Assigning Lender") may at any time and from time to
time propose that a financial institution (an "Assignee Lender") become a Lender
hereunder and under the Warehouse Credit Agreement by way of assignment of all
or a portion of such Assigning Lender's Commitments and a proportionate share of
its Loans; provided that (i) such Assigning Lender shall retain aggregate
Commitments in an amount no less than $8,000,000 (or if such Assigning Lender is
an Assignee Lender under this Section 8.6(c), such lesser amount as such
Assigning Lender may have been assigned, but in no event less than $8,000,000)
after giving effect to such sale or assignment unless such sale or assignment
has been made to an existing Lender or to an Affiliate of such Assigning Lender,
in which case such Assigning Lender may retain aggregate Commitments in an
amount less than $8,000,000; (ii) such Assigning Lender shall assign the same
proportionate share of (A) its Tranche B Commitment, its Tranche C Commitment
and its Tranche D Commitment, and (B) its Tranche A Loans, its Tranche B Loans,
its Tranche C Loans and its Tranche D Loans; (iii) unless such assignment is
being made in connection with the addition of an Applicant Lender (as defined in
the Warehouse Credit Agreement) as a lender under the Warehouse Credit
Agreement, such Assigning Lender shall simultaneously assign the same
proportionate share of its Warehouse Commitments and Warehouse Loans to such
Assignee Lender (it being the intention of the parties that each Lender shall at
all times have the same proportionate share of Loans and Commitments under this
Agreement as it has under the Warehouse Credit Agreement); and (iv) the
Assigning Lender or 


                                      -75-
<PAGE>   182

the Assignee Lender shall have paid a $2,500 assignment fee to the
Administrative Agent, unless such assignment is being made in connection with
the addition of an Applicant Lender as a Lender under the Warehouse Credit
Agreement, in which case the Borrower shall have paid such $2,500 assignment fee
to the Administrative Agent. Such Assigning Lender shall notify the Borrower,
the Administrative Agent and each of the other Lenders of the identity of such
Assignee Lender and of such Assignee Lender's proposed aggregate Commitments
hereunder (which must be not less than $8,000,000 unless such Assignee Lender is
an existing Lender or an Affiliate of such Assigning Lender). Upon such Assignee
Lender's addition as a Lender hereunder, such Assignee Lender shall become a
party hereto and a Lender hereunder, shall be entitled to all rights, benefits
and privileges accorded a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan Documents,
and shall be subject to all obligations of a Lender hereunder and under the
other Loan Documents; and such Assigning Lender shall be released from its
obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents to the extent such
obligations have been assumed by such Assignee Lender. In addition to and not in
limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to assign a portion of its Loans
and Commitments hereunder to any Applicant Lender under the Warehouse Credit
Agreement that becomes a Lender thereunder, as required under Section 8.6(c) of
the Warehouse Credit Agreement, so that such Applicant Lender and each other
Lender shall have the same proportionate share of Loans and Commitments
hereunder as it has under the Warehouse Credit Agreement.

         (d) The addition of any Assignee Lender as a Lender hereunder shall
become effective upon the occurrence of each of the following events and the
events described in Section 8.6(e) of the Warehouse Credit Agreement:

                (i) the Borrower and each of the Agents shall have given their
prior written consent to any Assignee Lender that is not an existing Lender or
an Affiliate of the Assigning Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld (it being understood that no consent of the Borrower or the Agents
shall be required for any Assignee Lender that is an existing Lender or an
Affiliate of the Assigning Lender) and shall be given to the Assigning Lender
not later than the tenth (10th) day following receipt by the Borrower and each
of the Agents of a written request for the inclusion of such Assignee Lender as
a Lender; and

                (ii) such Assignee Lender, such Assigning Lender and the Agents
shall have mutually agreed on the date (the "Adjustment Date") on which such
Assignee Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and under the other Loan
Documents. On such Adjustment Date:

                      (A) such Assignee Lender, such Assigning Lender, the
Borrower and the Agents shall execute and deliver to each of the other
signatories thereto an Assignment Agreement and the Borrower shall deliver a
copy of such executed Assignment Agreement to each of the Lenders; and

                      (B) the Borrower shall execute and deliver to such
Assignee Lender a Note; and

                      (C) the Administrative Agent shall deliver to each of the
Lenders 


                                      -76-
<PAGE>   183

a Commitment Notice reflecting each Lender's respective Commitments and
aggregate Commitments and the aggregate Commitments of all of the Lenders as of
the Adjustment Date after giving effect to the assignment by the Assigning
Lender to the Assignee Lender.

         (e) Each Lender may transfer, grant or assign participations in all or
any part of such Lender's interests and obligations hereunder pursuant to this
Section to another financial institution, provided that (i) such Lender shall
remain a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and the transferee of such
participation shall not constitute a Lender hereunder and (ii) no participant
under any such participation shall have rights to approve any amendment to or
waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to the extent such
amendment or waiver would (w) extend the final scheduled maturity of any of the
Loans or the Commitments in which such participant is participating, (x) release
any guarantors, (y) reduce the interest rate (other than as a result of waiving
the applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates) or Fees
applicable to any of the Loans or Commitments or postpone the payment of any
thereof or (z) release any collateral under the Loan Documents. In the case of
any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights under this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the participant's rights against
the granting Lender in respect of such participation to be those set forth in
the agreement with such Lender creating such participation) and all amounts
payable by the Borrower under Section 2.12 shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participation.

         (f) Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the Borrower and
its Affiliates in the possession of such Lender from time to time to Affiliates
of such Lender and to assignees and participants (including prospective
assignees and participants) and such assignee and participant shall keep any
such non-public information confidential.

         (g) Any Lender may at any time pledge or assign all or any portion of
its rights under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents to any Federal
Reserve Bank without notice to or consent of the Borrower. No such pledge or
assignment shall release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

         Section 8.15 PWRES Collateral. The Borrower shall provide the
Administrative Agent with reasonable prior notice before the Borrower intends to
execute and deliver the HTP Financial Documents so that the Administrative Agent

Commercial Code).

         SECTION 8.16 WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY. THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY
