collectively, with BAC, "Sellers", and each individually a "Seller"), amending
and restating the Master Repurchase Agreement Governing Purchases and Sales of
Mortgage Loans, dated as of March 19, 1998, between Buyer and BAC (the "Original
Agreement").

              Whereas, the Buyer and BAC desire to amend and restate the

additionally prepared to purchase (i) Bridge Mortgage Loans, Interim Mortgage
Loans, and Floorplan Loans from BAC, each as defined herein, and (ii) MH Loans,
as defined herein, from MHFC, an Affiliate of BAC;

              NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration the receipt

hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows, adding MHFC as

              From time to time, until the Final Repurchase Date applicable to
each type of Loan (as hereinafter defined), the Buyer agrees, subject to the
terms and conditions hereof, to enter into transactions upon the request of a
Seller in which such Seller agrees to transfer to Buyer certain Loans against
the transfer of funds by Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by Buyer to
transfer to such Seller such Loans at a date specified in the Confirmation,
against the transfer of funds by Buyer. Each such transaction shall be referred
to herein as a "Transaction" and shall be governed by this Agreement and the
related Confirmation, unless otherwise agreed in writing. Buyer shall have the
option, upon the completion of a Transaction and receipt of a Request for
Purchase, to enter into additional Transactions with respect to the related
Loans provided that the maximum aggregate term of any Loan subject to
Transactions shall not exceed the respective Maximum Aggregate Term applicable
to those Loans. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
Buyer shall have no obligation to enter into any Transaction hereunder if there
shall have occurred any material adverse change, as determined by Buyer in its
reasonable good faith judgment, in the financial condition of either Seller, the
financial markets generally or the secondary market for Loans. Buyer shall
promptly notify Sellers of any determination by Buyer that any of the foregoing
has occurred. All obligations of either Seller under all Transactions shall be

         the Administration Fee for each Loan that will be purchased in such
         Transaction, as to which an Administration Fee is payable, or the Buyer

Exhibit I, Part I of this Agreement, as may be amended from time to time by the

              (d)  Conditions Precedent to Floorplan Loan Transactions. Buyer's

<PAGE>   32

applicable to the Transaction and the Buyer's LTV in the case of Bridge Mortgage

the Seller on the date actually received by the Seller. Each Confirmation,
together with this Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the
Transaction(s) covered thereby unless objected to in writing by the Seller no
more than three (3) Business Days after the date the Confirmation was received
by the Seller or unless a corrected Confirmation is sent by Buyer. An objection
sent by a Seller must specifically state the objection, must specify the
provision(s) being objected to by the Seller, must set forth such provision(s)
in the manner that the Seller believes they should be stated, and must be
received by Buyer no more than three (3) Business Days after the Confirmation
was received by the Seller.

              (f)  Funding of Transactions. Buyer will only provide funds for
purchase of Table Funded Mortgage Loans to and through the Settlement Agent as
provided in the Request for Purchase approved by Buyer. All other Transactions
will be funded in accordance with the Seller's written instructions in the

available funds in U.S. dollars and effected through wire transfer arrangements
acceptable to both Seller and Buyer.

              (g)  Minimum and Maximum Transaction Amounts. With respect to all
Transactions hereunder, the aggregate Purchase Price for all Purchased Loans at
any one time subject to then outstanding Transactions under this Agreement shall
not exceed the Total Committed Amount. Further, the aggregate Purchase Price of
all Eligible Loans for which a Request for Purchase is submitted by a Seller
pursuant to this Agreement, and the aggregate outstanding principal balance of
all Purchased Loans at any one time subject to then outstanding Transactions
under this Agreement, shall conform to the amounts and limitations set forth in
Exhibit I, Part 3. Buyer shall have no obligation to enter any Transaction if at
such time a Default or Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing.

              (h)  Additional Costs. The Sellers shall pay directly to Buyer
from time to time such amounts as Buyer may determine to be necessary to
compensate Buyer for any costs that Buyer determines are attributable to its
using a LIBOR-based Pricing Rate or its obligation to use a LIBOR-based Pricing
Rate hereunder, or any reduction in any amount receivable by Buyer hereunder in
respect of the Pricing Rate (such increases in costs and reductions in amounts
receivable being herein called "Additional Costs"), resulting from any change
that:

                   (1) shall subject Buyer to any tax, duty or other
         charge in respect of such LIBOR-based Pricing Rate or changes the basis
         of taxation of any amounts payable to such Buyer under this Agreement
         in respect of any of such LIBOR-based Pricing Rate (excluding changes
         in the rate of tax on the overall net income of such Buyer by the
         jurisdiction in which Buyer has its principal office); or

                                       28
<PAGE>   33
                   (2) imposes or modifies any reserve, special deposit or 
         similar requirements relating to any LIBOR-based Pricing Rate; or

                   (3) imposes any other condition affecting this Agreement or 
         the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby.

              Buyer shall deliver to the Sellers a statement setting forth the
amount and basis of determination of any Additional Costs in such detail as
determined in good faith by Buyer to be adequate, it being agreed that such
statement and the method of its calculation shall be adequate and shall be
conclusive and binding upon the Sellers, absent manifest error.

              (i)  Limitation on Pricing Rate Used;  Illegality.   Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, if, on or prior to the determination 
of the Pricing Rate:

                   (1) the Buyer determines, which determination shall be
         conclusive, that quotations of interest rates for the relevant deposits
         referred to in the definition of "LIBOR" in Section 2 hereof are not
         being provided in the relevant amounts or for the relevant maturities
         for purposes of determining the Pricing Rates as provided herein; or

                   (2) the Buyer determines, which determination shall be
         conclusive, that the relevant rate of interest referred to in the
         definition of "Pricing Rate" in Section 2 hereof upon the basis of
         which the Pricing Rate is to be determined is not likely adequately to
         cover the cost to the Buyer of purchasing the Purchased Loans using
         such Pricing Rate; or

                   (3) it becomes unlawful for the Buyer to honor its obligation
         to purchase Loans hereunder using a Pricing Rate based upon LIBOR;

              then the Buyer shall give the Sellers prompt notice thereof and,
so long as such condition remains in effect, the Buyer shall be under no
obligation to enter into additional Transactions, and the Sellers shall, either
repurchase all Purchased Loans then subject to a Transaction or the new Pricing
Rate shall be determined based upon the rate selected by the Buyer in a manner
that is reasonably satisfactory to Buyer so as to adequately reflect the cost to
Buyer of purchasing the Purchased Loans using such substituted Pricing Rate (in
which case Buyer shall continue to be obligated to enter into additional
Transactions using that substituted Pricing Rate).

              (j)  Termination and Repurchase; Exit Fee.

                   (1) Notice of Repurchase. A Seller may at any time and from
         time to time repurchase the Purchased Loans subject to a Transaction,
         in whole or in part, upon at least one (1) Business Day's irrevocable
         notice to Buyer, specifying the Repurchase Date of such repurchase and
         the Repurchase Price. If any such notice is given, the Repurchase Price
         specified in such notice shall be due and payable on the Repurchase
         Date specified therein, together with any amounts payable pursuant to
         subsection 3(j)(3) hereof. Notice of repurchase pursuant to this
         subsection 3(j)(1) shall be made by a Seller by telephone or otherwise,
         no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York Time) on the Business Day prior to
         the day on which such repurchase will be effected.

                                       29
<PAGE>   34
                   (2) Transfer of Purchased Loans. On the Repurchase Date,
         termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer to a Seller
         or its designee of the Purchased Loans (and any Income in respect
         thereof received by Buyer not previously credited or transferred to, or
         applied to the obligations of, the Seller pursuant to Section 5 hereof)
         against the simultaneous transfer of the Repurchase Price plus any
         Breakage Costs, as defined below, payable by the Seller to Buyer
         pursuant to the succeeding paragraph to an account of Buyer. The Seller
         is obligated to obtain the Loan Files from Buyer or its designee at
         Seller's expense on the Repurchase Date.

                   (3) Breakage Costs. If a Seller repurchases the Purchased
         Loans on any day which is not a Repurchase Date for such Loans, such
         Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any loss or
         expense which Buyer may sustain or incur arising from the reemployment
         of funds obtained by Buyer hereunder or from fees payable to terminate
         the deposits from which such funds were obtained, but not including
         loss of profit ("Breakage Costs"). Buyer shall deliver to the Seller a
         statement setting forth the amount and basis of determination of any
         Breakage Costs in such detail as determined in good faith by Buyer to
         be adequate, it being agreed that such statement and the method of its
         calculation shall be adequate and shall be conclusive and binding upon
         the Seller, absent manifest error. This Section shall survive
         termination of this Agreement and repurchase of all Purchased Loans
         subject to Transactions hereunder.

                   (4) Exit Fee. In the event that a Seller repurchases any
         Purchased Loans subject to a Transaction whether on the Repurchase Date
         or otherwise, that Seller agrees to pay Buyer an exit fee (the "Exit
         Fee"), if such Purchased Loan is subject to an Exit Fee pursuant to
         Exhibit I, Part 1 hereof, each such payment to be made in U.S. dollars,
         in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or
         counterclaim, to Buyer at the account designated by Buyer. Without
         limiting the generality of the foregoing, any Exit Fee shall accrue and
         be payable as a condition to delivery by Buyer of the related Purchased
         Loans that are subject to this Agreement at the time of any repurchase
         or termination of this Agreement. No Exit Fee shall be payable if the
         Seller refinances the Purchased Loan due for repurchase and
         simultaneously subjects such refinanced Mortgage Loan to a Transaction.
         However, an Exit Fee shall be payable on such refinanced Mortgage Loan
         at the earlier of (i) the time of its repurchase or (ii) termination of
         this Agreement, at the rates set forth in Exhibit 1, Part 1 depending
         on the classification of such Loan.

              (k)  Non-Use  Fee.  Seller  shall pay  Buyer any  Non-Use 
Fee as and when  required,  as set forth in Exhibit I, Part 1 to this Agreement.

4.       COLLATERAL MAINTENANCE AMOUNT

              (a)  Collateral Deficit; Additional Loans. If at any time (i) the
aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Loans subject to then outstanding
Transactions is less than the aggregate Collateral Maintenance Amount for all
such Transactions (a "Market Value Collateral Deficit"), or (ii) the aggregate
Securitization Value of all Purchased Loans subject to then outstanding
Transactions is less than the aggregate Collateral Maintenance Amount for all
such Transactions (a "Securitization Value Collateral Deficit"), then Buyer may
by notice to the Seller require the Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee
(including the Custodian) additional Eligible 

                                       30
<PAGE>   35
Loans ("Additional Loans") or cash, so that the cash and aggregate Market Value
and aggregate Securitization Value of the Purchased Loans, including any such
Additional Loans, will thereupon equal or exceed the aggregate Collateral
Maintenance Amount. Any cash remitted by a Seller to Buyer pursuant to this
Section 4(a) shall be deemed a payment of all or part of the Repurchase Price
and such Seller shall be liable for and shall pay promptly to Buyer any Breakage
Cost as a result therefrom.

              (b)  Notice of Deficit and Required Payment or Delivery. Notice
required pursuant to subsection (a) above may be given by means of telecopier or
telegraphic transmission. A notice for the payment or delivery in respect of a
Collateral Deficit received before noon on a Business Day, local time of the
party receiving the notice, must be met not later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time)
on the Business Day following the day upon which the notice was given, local
time of the party receiving the notice. Any notice given on a Business Day after
noon, local time of the party receiving the notice, shall be met not later than
2:00 p.m. (New York time) on the second succeeding Business Day. The failure of
Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights under subsection (a)
of this Section 4 shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which
this Agreement is subject or limit the right of the Buyer to do so at a later
date. Buyer and Sellers agree that a failure or delay to exercise its rights
under subsection (a) of this Section 4 shall not limit Buyer's rights under this
Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights
for Sellers.

              (c)  No Further Transactions Until Deficit Remedied. In the event
that either of the Sellers fail to comply with the provisions of this Section 4,
Buyer shall not be obligated to enter into any additional Transactions under
this Agreement after the date of such failure.

5.       INCOME PAYMENTS

              (a)  Sellers' Limited Right to Income Payments. All Income with
respect to Purchased Loans subject to Transactions shall be held in a segregated
Blocked Account established with respect to that Seller at the Lockbox Bank for
the benefit of Buyer (pursuant to Section 29 of this Agreement) and distributed
under the relevant Blocked Account Agreement. Where a particular Transaction's
term extends over an Income payment date on the Purchased Loans subject to that
Transaction such Income shall be the property of Buyer. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, so long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
each Seller shall be entitled to all Income with respect to that Seller's
respective Purchased Loans subject to Transactions. An Event of Default by
either Seller is considered an Event of Default by both Sellers.

              (b)  Payments by Obligors. The parties understand and agree that
each Obligor must be instructed to remit payments to a Blocked Account
established at the Lockbox Bank in the name of a Seller subject to the lien of
Buyer, as more particularly addressed in Section 29 of this Agreement.

              (c)  Curtailments, Principal Payments and Prepayments. BAC must
instruct Dealers to make Curtailment payments, and both Sellers shall instruct
all Obligors on all Loans to make all payments, including prepayment payments,
directly to the appropriate Blocked Account for distribution to the Buyer on the
Payment Date following receipt thereof. Principal prepayments, Curtailments, or
any other payment received in respect of Purchased Loans shall be 

                                       31
<PAGE>   36
deposited into the Blocked Account, no later than one (1) Business Day following
receipt by a Seller, Mortgage Loan Servicer or MH Servicer thereof, as
applicable. Whenever a Curtailment payment or prepayment on any Loan is made to
the Buyer, the Repurchase Price of the corresponding Loan shall be reduced by
the amount of such payment, or, at Seller's option, and subject to a notice of
repurchase given pursuant to Section 3(j)(1) hereof, the Loans may be
repurchased pursuant to Section 3(j)(2) hereof, subject to any Breakage Cost due
pursuant to Section 3(j)(3) hereof.

              (d)  Required Periodic Payments to Buyer. Notwithstanding that
Buyer and Sellers intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of
the Purchased Loans, Sellers shall pay by wire transfer to Buyer the accreted
value of the Price Differential (less any amount of such Price Differential
previously paid by Sellers to Buyer) (each such payment, a "Periodic Payment")
on each Payment Date.

              (e)  Payments on Payment Date. All payments received from Obligors
in respect of Purchased Loans shall be remitted to Buyer on the Payment Date in
accordance with Section 29 to this Agreement. Each Seller shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to Buyer on the second Business Day immediately preceding the
Payment Date (i) a Distribution Worksheet and (ii) the updated Collateral
Information with respect to all of that Seller's Loans then subject to
Transactions.

              (f)  Deduction from Repurchase Price. Buyer shall deduct from the
Repurchase Price of each such Transaction all Income payments, including
Curtailment payments, and all Periodic Payments related thereto, actually
received by Buyer pursuant to Sections 5(a) through (d) hereof.

6.       SECURITY INTEREST

              (a)  Grant of Security Interest and Cross-Collateralization. Buyer
and the Sellers intend that the Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the
Purchased Loans and not loans from Buyer to Sellers secured by the Purchased
Loans. However, in order to preserve Buyer's rights under this Agreement in the
event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions hereunder as
loans and as security for the performance by Sellers of all of Sellers'
obligations to Buyer under this Agreement and the Transactions entered into
pursuant to this Agreement, both Sellers grant Buyer, on a cross-collateralized
basis with all outstanding Transactions, a first priority security interest in
the Purchased Loans, including the indebtedness of Obligors and the Underlying
Assets, including all Manufactured Homes now owned or hereafter acquired, as
collateral for Floorplan Loans and MH Loans, and all other collateral provided
as security for the Purchased Loans; Servicing Agreements, Back-up Servicing
Agreements, Servicing Records, insurance, guarantees, indemnities and warranties
and proceeds thereof, financing statements and other agreements or arrangements
of whatever character from time relating to the Purchased Loans, Income, any and
all Hedges, all Insured Closing Letters and the Escrow Instructions covering any
or all of the Loans, all Collections and the Blocked Accounts and all amounts on
deposit therein, any and all collection accounts and escrow accounts relating to
the Purchased Loans, all MH Contracts, Dealer Financing Agreements, and other
Loan Agreements, the Loan Documents, all Consignment Agreements, sale contracts,
security agreements, the right to payment of interest or finance charges and
collateral securing such obligations, and any other contract rights, and other
assets relating to the Purchased Loans 

                                       32
<PAGE>   37
or any interest in the Purchased Loans, whether constituting real or personal
property, accounts, chattel paper, equipment, goods, instruments, general
intangibles, inventory or proceeds, or securities backed by or representing an
interest in such Loans, and any and all replacements, substitutions,
distributions on or Proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the
"Collateral").

              (b)  Payment of Costs of Perfection. Sellers shall pay all fees
and expenses associated with perfecting Buyer's security interest in the
Collateral, including, without limitation, the cost of filing financing
statements under the Uniform Commercial Code and recording Assignments of
Mortgages and other assignments, as and when required by Buyer in its sole
discretion.

              (c)  Additional Actions. Sellers covenant to take such further
actions as are necessary in order to perfect Buyer's first priority security
interest in the Hedges or in any other Collateral.

              (d)  Joint and Several Liability. Each Seller hereby acknowledges
and agrees that such Seller shall be jointly and severally liable for all
representations, warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities of the
Sellers hereunder.

7.       PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY

              (a)  Payments by Sellers. Unless otherwise mutually agreed in
writing, all transfers of funds by Sellers hereunder shall be made in
immediately available funds in U.S. dollars, without deduction, set-off or
counterclaim, to Buyer at the account designated by Buyer.

              (b)  Custodial Delivery. On or before each Purchase Date, the
respective Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Buyer or its
designee the Custodial Delivery in the form of Exhibit 7-1 and Exhibit 7-2 of

shall cause the Settlement Agent or Designated Fax Distributor to deliver to the
Custodian by facsimile the Initial Table Funded Loan Documents. A Designated Fax
Distributor acts as fiduciary on behalf of Buyer in performing its
responsibilities hereunder.

              (c)  Transfer of Ownership. On the Purchase Date for each
Transaction, ownership of the Purchased Loans shall be transferred to the Buyer
or its designee (including the Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of
the Purchase Price to an account of the respective Seller specified in the
Confirmation. The Seller, simultaneously with the delivery to Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian) of the Purchased Loans relating to each
Transaction hereby sells, transfers, conveys and assigns to Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian) without recourse, but subject to the terms of
this Agreement, all the right, title and interest of the Seller in and to the
Purchased Loans together with all right, title and interest in and to the
proceeds of any related insurance policies.

              (d)  Delivery of Loan File. In connection with each sale,
transfer, conveyance and assignment, or pledge, (i) three (3) Business Days
prior to each Purchase Date with respect to each Loan other than a Table Funded

The Loan Files shall be maintained in accordance with the Custodial Agreement.

              (f)  Any documents related to a Loan which have not been delivered
to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian) are and shall be held in
trust by the applicable Seller or its designees for the benefit of Buyer as the
owner thereof. The Seller or its designees shall maintain the related Servicing
File consisting of a copy of the Loan File and the originals of other documents
related to the Loans not delivered to Buyer or its designee. The possession of
the Servicing Files by Sellers or their designees is at the will of the Buyer
for the sole purpose of servicing the related Purchased Loan(s), and such
retention and possession by the Sellers or their designees is in a custodial
capacity only. In addition to copies of the Loan Documents, the Servicing File

Purchased Loan to Buyer. Sellers and their designees (including the Custodian)
shall release their custody of Servicing Files only in accordance with written
instructions from Buyer, unless such release is in connection with a repurchase
of any Purchased Loan by a Seller.

8.       REHYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED LOANS

              Title to all Purchased Loans shall pass to Buyer and Buyer shall
have free and unrestricted use of all Purchased Loans. Nothing in this Agreement
shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased
Loans or otherwise pledging, repledging, hypothecating, or rehypothecating the
Purchased Loans, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations
to transfer Purchased Loans to Sellers pursuant to Section 3 hereof. Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate any Purchased
Loans delivered to Buyer by Sellers; provided that Buyer acknowledges that the
Custodian is contractually obligated to segregate the Loan Files pursuant to the
Custodial Agreement. In the event that there is a material adverse change or
other development in the repurchase markets which result in the Buyer being

Purchased Loans. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian) of the Loan Files of such other Eligible
Mortgage Loans together with a Custodial Delivery and transfer to the Seller or
its designee of the Purchased Loans requested for release. After substitution,
the substituted Eligible Loans shall be deemed to be Purchased Loans subject to
the same Transaction as the released Mortgage Loans.

              (b)  Limitation on Substitution. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, Sellers may not substitute other Eligible Loans for
any Purchased Loans (i) if after taking into account such substitution, a
Collateral Deficit would occur, (ii) such substitution would cause a breach of
any provision of this Agreement or (iii) a Default shall have occurred and be
continuing.

         business of the type conducted by Seller therein except where the

         adversely determined would individually or in the aggregate result in
         any material adverse change in the business, operations, financial

         impairment of the right or ability of Seller to carry on its business

                                       37
<PAGE>   42
                   (1) Good Title; No Adverse Claims. Seller is the sole owner
         and holder of the Loan and has good, valid, indefeasible, marketable
         title thereto, and full right, power and authority to sell, transfer
         and assign such Loan to Buyer, free and clear of any Adverse Claim
         (including, with respect to Mortgage Loans, mechanics', materialman's
         or other similar liens or claims which have been filed for work, labor
         or materials affecting Mortgaged Property which are or may be liens
         prior to, or equal or coordinate with, the lien of the Mortgage, unless
         such lien is insured against under a Title Policy) or Restrictions on
         Transferability. The Loan, if purchased or otherwise acquired by
         Seller, was acquired by Seller for fair value and in the ordinary and
         regular course of its business, and Seller took possession thereof
         without knowledge that the Loan was subject to a security interest. The
         Qualified Originator, if any, has not sold, assigned or pledged the
         Loan to any Person other than Seller and, prior to the transfer of the
         Loan by Qualified Originator to Seller, Qualified Originator had good
         and indefeasible title thereto free and clear of any Adverse Claim or
         Restrictions on Transferability and was the sole owner and holder
         thereof with full right to sell, assign and transfer the Loan to Seller
         free and clear of any Adverse Claim, and upon such sale, Seller
         acquired a valid ownership interest in such Loan, free and clear of any
         Adverse Claim and any other Restriction on Transferability. Neither
         Seller or any other party has sold, assigned or pledged the Loan to any
         Person other than Buyer (unless a collateral assignment that has been
         fully terminated prior to the assignment of that Loan by Seller to
         Buyer under this Agreement). Following the purchase by Buyer of each
         Loan, the Buyer will hold such Loan free and clear of any Adverse Claim
         or Restrictions on Transferability.

                   (2) Security Interest in the Loan. Although intended as a
         sale to Buyer, in the event of recharacterization of the sale of any
         Loan to Buyer as a financing, Buyer has a valid, binding, enforceable
         first priority perfected security interest therein. The Loan is not and
         has not been secured by any collateral except the lien of the
         corresponding Underlying Asset.

                   (3) Origination Practices. The Loan was originated by a
         Qualified Originator in the regular course of its business, and, if
         purchased by Seller, was purchased in the regular course of its
         business. The origination practices used by Seller or by any Affiliate
         of Seller with respect to each Purchased Loan (as well as all parties
         which have had any interest in the creditor/lender's interest in each
         such Loan, during the period in which they held and disposed of such
         interest) (i) have been and are in all respects legal and proper in the
         mortgage origination business and in compliance with the requirements
         of federal and state laws, rules and regulations applicable to each
         Loan, including without limitation, truth-in-lending, real estate
         settlement procedures, consumer credit protection, equal credit
         opportunity and disclosure laws and (ii) are in accordance with the
         Underwriting Guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit III and the
         documentation is consistent in form and substance with the Seller's
         Loan Documents approved by Buyer for use under this Agreement, and each
         material deviation therefrom appears on a schedule attached to the
         Request for Purchase and no such deviation (regardless of whether or
         not considered material by Seller) would be deemed to be imprudent by a
         prudent lender experienced in originating Loans of that nature, and in
         no event will have a Material Adverse Effect. All Loan Documents
         included in the Loan File have been duly executed as required by their
         provisions and the provisions of applicable law and are in a 

                                       38
<PAGE>   43
         form generally acceptable to prudent institutional lenders that
         regularly originate and purchase Loans of the type subject to each Loan
         Transaction.

                   (4) Loan Eligibility Requirements. Each of the Purchased
         Loans and each Eligible Loan delivered hereunder as Additional Loans or
         Substituted Loans conforms to the Loan Eligibility Requirements in all
         material respects and has a stated maturity and is denominated in
         United States Dollars. It is understood and agreed that the Loan
         Representations shall survive delivery of the respective Loan File to
         Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian).

                   (5) Conformance with Representations and Warranties. Each
         Loan sold hereunder and each pool of Purchased Loans sold by a Seller
         in a Transaction hereunder conforms to the applicable representations
         and warranties in Exhibit II of this Agreement in all material respects
         and each Eligible Loan delivered hereunder as an Additional Loan or
         Substituted Loan conforms to those representations and warranties in
         all material respects.

                   (6) Correct Collateral Information. As of the date of its
         delivery, the Collateral Information with respect to the Loan in the
         Request for Purchase and the Loan Schedule is complete, true and
         correct in all material respects.

                   (7) Enforceability of Loan Documents. (A) The Loan Documents
         have been duly and properly executed, and (B) the Loan Documents are
         legal, valid and binding obligations of the Obligor, and their terms
         are enforceable against the Obligor or other Obligor thereunder,
         subject only to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, fraudulent
         transfer, fraudulent conveyance and similar laws affecting rights of
         creditors generally and to the application of general principles of
         equity (regardless of whether such enforcement is considered in a
         proceeding at law or in equity). Subject to (B), above, the Loan
         Documents contain customary and enforceable provisions such as to
         render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
         realization against each related Underlying Asset of the material
         benefits of the security, including realization by judicial or, if
         applicable, non-judicial foreclosure, and there is no homestead of
         other exemption under applicable state or federal law that is available
         to the Obligor which would materially interfere with such right to
         foreclosure. Upon default by an Obligor on a Loan and foreclosure on,
         or trustee's sale of, the Underlying Asset pursuant to the proper
         procedures, the holder of the Loan will be able to deliver good and
         merchantable or marketable title to the Underlying Asset. Any interest
         required to be paid by Seller pursuant to state, Federal and local law
         has been properly paid and credited.

                   (8) Legal Capacity. To the best of Seller's knowledge, all
         parties to the Note and the related Loan Documents delivered in
         connection with the Loan, including individual persons, had the legal
         capacity to enter into such documents.

                   (9) No Limitation Upon Assignment. In connection with the
         assignment, transfer or conveyance of any individual Loan or MH
         Contract, the Note and other Loan Documents do not contain any
         provision limiting the right or ability of the applicable Qualified
         Originator to assign, transfer and convey the to any other person or
         entity. The Loan was not originated in and is not subject to the laws
         of any jurisdiction 

                                       39
<PAGE>   44
         whose laws would make the transfer of the Loan pursuant to any
         applicable Loan Transfer Agreement or this Agreement unlawful or render
         the Loan unenforceable.

                   (10) No Usury. The Purchased Loan does not violate or is
         exempt from applicable usury laws. All Loan Interest Rate adjustments
         have been made in strict compliance with state and Federal law and the
         terms of the related Loan.

                   (11) No Waiver or Modification of Loan Terms. Since the date
         of origination of the Loan, the terms of the Loan have not been
         impaired, waived, altered, released, rescinded, satisfied, canceled,
         extended, subordinated or modified in any respect (except by a written
         instrument which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect the
         interests of the Buyer, and which has been delivered to the Buyer or
         its designee (including the Custodian) for inclusion in the Loan File,
         and with respect to which the economic terms of which are reflected in
         the Loan Schedule and the Collateral Information), and no portion of
         the collateral for the Loan has been released in any manner from the
         lien of the encumbrance or security interest created upon the closing
         of that Loan in favor of Seller (except if specifically called for
         under and pursuant to the Loan Documents and in compliance with the
         applicable Underwriting Guidelines, and summarized in the underwriting
         summary or other document delivered to Buyer at the time of, or in
         connection with, the related Request for Purchase). The substance of
         any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the
         issuer of any related insurance policy, to the extent required by such
         policy.

                   (12) Full Disbursement; No Additional Services. Except if
         specifically permitted under the applicable Loan Eligibility
         Requirements and contemplated by the Loan Documents, and the proceeds
         of the Loan have been fully disbursed and there is no requirement for
         future advances thereunder and Seller covenants that it will not make
         any future advances under the Loan to the Obligor. All costs, fees and
         expenses incurred by Seller (or which are otherwise payable by the
         Obligor under the Loan Documents) in making or closing the Loan and the
         recording of the Loan were paid, and the Obligor is not entitled to any
         refund of any amounts paid or due under the Loan. Except if
         specifically called for under and pursuant to the Loan Documents and in
         compliance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines, and summarized
         in the underwriting summary or other document delivered to Buyer at the
         time of, or in connection with, the related Request for Purchase, the
         Loan is not subject to the performance of additional services by any
         Person.

                   (13) Completion of Improvements. Except for the escrows and
         disbursements therefrom, or if specifically permitted under the
         applicable Loan Eligibility Requirements, and in each case as
         contemplated by the Loan Documents, any Obligor requirements for on or
         off-site improvements as to disbursement of any escrow funds therefor
         have been complied with.

                   (14) Commencement of Payments by Obligor. Except for
         interest-only Loans (if permitted under the applicable Loan Eligibility
         Requirements and Underwriting Guidelines), principal payments on the
         Loan commenced, or under the terms of the Loan Documents are to
         commence, no more than 60 days after funds were disbursed in connection
         with the Loan.

                                       40
<PAGE>   45
                   (15) No Lender Participation. The Loan does not have a shared
         appreciation feature or provide for contingent or additional interest
         in the form of participation in cash flow, or (except in connection
         with Mortgage Loan hyperamortization terms approved by Buyer) negative
         amortization. Except in connection with Interim Mortgage Loans and
         Bridge Mortgage Loans including "preferred equity" features consistent
         with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines approved by Buyer, the
         indebtedness evidenced by the Loan is not convertible to an ownership
         interest in the Underlying Asset or the Obligor and Seller has not
         financed nor does it own directly or indirectly, any equity of any form
         in the Underlying Asset or the Obligor, unless otherwise approved in
         writing by Buyer.

                   (16) Whole Loan. The Loan is a whole loan and contains no
         equity participation by the lender.

                   (17) No Fraud. No fraudulent acts were committed by Seller or
         its affiliates in connection with the origination process of the Loan.

                   (18) No Default. To the best knowledge of Seller, and other
         than with respect to Permitted Delinquencies in connection with MH
         Loans, there is no material default, breach, violation or event of
         acceleration existing under any of the Loan Documents and Seller has
         not received actual notice of any event (other than payments due but
         not yet delinquent) which, with the passage of time or with notice and
         the expiration of any grace or cure period, would and does constitute a
         default, breach, violation or event of acceleration; no waiver by
         Seller of the foregoing exists and no person other than the holder of
         the Note may declare any of the foregoing. The first Monthly Payment
         shall be made, or shall have been made, with respect to the Loan on its
         Due Date or within its grace period, all in accordance with the terms
         of the related Loan Documents.

                   (19) No Breach of Obligor's Representations. Seller has not
         taken any action, nor has knowledge that the Obligor has taken any
         action, that would cause the representations and warranties made by the
         Obligor in the Loan Documents not to be true in any material respect.

                   (20) No Defenses. The Loan is not subject to (and the
         assignment thereof to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement will not
         subject the Loan to) any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or
         defense, including the defense of usury, nor will the operation of any
         of the terms of the Loan or the exercise of any right thereunder will
         not render the Loan unenforceable in whole or in material part or
         subject to any right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense,
         including the defense of usury, and to Seller's knowledge, no such
         right of rescission, setoff, counterclaim or defense has been asserted
         with respect thereto.

                   (21) No Pending Proceedings. To the best of Seller's
         knowledge, there are no proceedings or investigations pending or
         threatened before any Governmental Authority (A) asserting the
         invalidity of the Loan, (B) asserting the bankruptcy or insolvency of
         the related Obligor, (C) seeking the payment of the Loan or payment and
         performance of the Loan (other than with respect to Permitted
         Delinquencies, if applicable), or (D) seeking any determination or
         ruling that might materially and 

                                       41
<PAGE>   46
         adversely affect the validity or enforceability of the Loan, and no
         other material action, suit, proceeding, arbitration or investigation
         with respect to any of the Underlying Asset is pending (or to Seller's
         knowledge) threatened against Seller.

                   (22) Funded Escrows. Any escrow accounts for taxes or other
         reserves required to be funded on the date of origination of the Loan
         pursuant to the Loan documents have been funded and all such escrow
         accounts required to have been funded as of the Purchase Date (taking
         into account any applicable notice and grace period) have been funded
         in accordance with the applicable Underwriting Guidelines. All Escrow
         Payments have been collected in full compliance with state and Federal
         law. All escrow deposits and Escrow Payments required as of the
         Purchase Date are in the possession of, or under the control of, Seller
         and there exist no deficiencies in connection therewith for which
         customary arrangements for repayment thereof have not been made. No
         escrow deposits, Escrow Payments or other charges or payments (other
         than Extra Costs) due to either Seller have been capitalized under the
         Loans.

                   (23) No Violation of Environmental Laws. Neither Seller nor
         any of its Affiliates has received any notice of violation, alleged
         violation, non-compliance, liability or potential liability regarding
         environmental matters or compliance with any environmental laws with
         regard to any of the Underlying Assets, nor does Seller have knowledge
         or reason to believe that any such notice will be received or is being
         threatened. Seller has not taken any actions which would cause any
         Underlying Asset not to be in compliance with all applicable federal,
         state and local laws pertaining to environmental hazards.

                   (24) Delivery of Loan File. The Loan File Documents have been
         delivered to the Custodian (or with respect to Table Funded Mortgage
         Loans, will be delivered to the Custodian within the time period
         required under Section 7 of this Agreement), and (ii) Seller has
         delivered to Buyer or its designee all documents required to be
         delivered pursuant to this Agreement. Seller or its designee is in
         possession of a complete, true and accurate Loan File with respect to
         each Purchased Loan, except for such documents the originals of which
         have been delivered to the Custodian. All documentation required to be
         delivered to the applicable Servicer has been received by that
         Servicer.

                   (25) No Advance of Funds by Seller or Third Party for Debt
         Service. Except insofar as the proceeds of the Loan are to be applied
         in satisfaction of payments due under the terms of the Loan, as
         provided in the Loan Documents, Seller has not advanced funds, or
         knowingly received any advance of funds from a party other than the
         Obligor subject to the related Loan, directly or indirectly, for the
         payment of any amount required by the Loan, and no provision exists in
         the Loan Documents anticipating payments by anyone on behalf of the
         Obligor by any source other than the Obligor, except under guarantees
         that are in the related Loan File.

                   (26) Recording and Filing Fees. All applicable recording
         taxes and other filing fees have been paid in full or deposited with
         the Settlement Agent (or the issuer of the Title Policy issued in
         connection with a Mortgage Loan or Land and Home Loan) for payment upon
         recordation and/or filing of the relevant documents.

                                       42
<PAGE>   47
                   (27) Collateral Undamaged. To the best of Seller's knowledge,
         (i) there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the total or
         partial condemnation of the Underlying Asset, if any; (ii) the
         Underlying Asset is undamaged by waste, fire, earthquake or earth
         movement, windstorm, flood, tornado, explosion, accident, riot, war, or
         act of God or the public enemy or other casualty so as to materially
         and adversely affect the value of the Underlying Asset as security for
         the Loan or the use for which the premises (if applicable) were
         intended and each Underlying Asset is in good condition and repair and,
         except as disclosed in the engineering report and summarized in the
         underwriting summary or other document delivered to the Buyer at the
         of, or in connection with, the related Request for Purchase, no
         material deferred maintenance exists; and (iii) no Underlying Asset has
         suffered damage that is not covered by a Hazard Insurance Policy (if
         that insurance coverage is required under this Agreement for that
         Underlying Asset).

                   (28) Due on Sale or Transfer Provisions. The Loan Documents
         contain provisions for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid
         principal balance of the Loan if (A) the Obligor voluntarily transfers
         or encumbers all or any portion of any related Mortgaged Property, or
         (B) any direct or indirect interest in Obligor is voluntarily
         transferred or assigned, other than, in each case, as permitted under
         the terms and conditions of the Loan Documents.

                   (29) Acceptable Investment. Sellers have no knowledge of any
         circumstances or conditions with respect to the Loan or the Underlying
         Asset, the Obligor or the Obligor's credit standing that can reasonably
         be expected to cause private institutional investors to regard the Loan
         as an unacceptable investment, cause the Loan to become delinquent, or
         materially and adversely affect the value or marketability of the Loan.

                   (30) Payment Instructions. Each Obligor has been directed,
         and is required to, remit or wire all payments, including prepayment
         payments and Curtailment payments, with respect to each Loan for
         deposit directly to the appropriate Blocked Account.

                   (31) Outstanding Charges. All taxes, governmental
         assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer, park and municipal
         charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due
         and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in
         an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid
         and which has been assessed but not yet due and payable.

                   (32) Loan Eligibility Requirements. The Loan meets all of the
         Loan Eligibility Requirements set forth herein for that Loan type.

                   (33) Knowledge of Defects. Seller has no knowledge of any
         fact which would lead a reasonably prudent lender to expect at the time
         of origination of such Loan that any scheduled payment on such Loan
         would not be paid in full when due or to expect any other material
         adverse effect on (A) the performance by Seller of its obligations
         under the Facility Documents or Loan Documents (B) the validity or
         enforceability of any of the Facility Documents or Loan Documents to
         which it is a party, (C) the Loans or the 

                                       43
<PAGE>   48
         interests of Seller or Dealer therein or (D) the federal income tax
         attributes of the sale or pledge of the Loans.

                   (34) Necessary Documentation. Seller has submitted to the
         Obligor all necessary documentation (including an invoice for Floorplan
         Loans, and for MH Loans, as applicable) for payment of such Loan and
         has fulfilled all its other obligations in respect thereof. The Obligor
         has submitted to Seller all documentation necessary for disbursement of
         such Loan and has fulfilled all its other obligations in respect
         thereof.

              (d)  For the purposes of this Agreement (including the Loan
Representations): (i) the term "to Seller's knowledge," means that the
applicable Seller reasonably believes such representation or warranty to be
true, and has no actual knowledge or notice that such representation or warranty
is inaccurate or incomplete, but that such Seller, consistent with the standard
of care exercised by prudent lending institutions originating Loans of the type
to which that representation or warranty applies, has no knowledge of any facts
or circumstances that would render reliance thereon unjustified without further
inquiry; (ii) the term "to the best of Seller's knowledge," means that to such
Seller's knowledge, the representation or warranty is not incomplete or
inaccurate, and such Seller has conducted a reasonable inquiry (consistent with
the standard of care exercised by prudent lending institutions originating Loans
of the type to which that representation or warranty applies) to assure the
accuracy and completeness of the applicable statement; and (iii) the term "in
reliance on" or "based on," means that such Seller has examined and relied in
whole or in part upon the certificate, report, opinion or other referenced
document, that the information contained in such document is sufficient to
support accurately and in all material respects the substance of the applicable
representation or warranty, that such Seller's reliance on such document is
reasonable, prudent and consistent with the standard of care exercised by
prudent lending institutions originating Loans of the type to which that
representation or warranty applies, and although the Seller is under no
obligation to independently verify the information contained in such document,
the Seller believes the information contained therein to be true and accurate in
all material respects and has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances that
would render reliance thereon unjustified without further inquiry. With respect
to any representations and warranties made by each Seller, in the event that it
is discovered that the circumstances with respect to the related Loan are not
accurately reflected in such representation and warranty notwithstanding the
actual knowledge or lack of knowledge of a Seller, then, notwithstanding that
such representation and warranty is made "to the best of the Seller's
knowledge," or "to Seller's knowledge," or in reliance on or based on other
information, the Market Value and/or Securitization Value of such Loans may, in
the Buyer's sole good faith discretion, be reduced to zero based on such Breach.

11.      NEGATIVE COVENANTS OF THE SELLERS

              On and as of the date of this Agreement and each Purchase Date and
until this Agreement is no longer in force with respect to any Transaction, each
Seller covenants for itself that:

              (a)  Impair Value of Loans. It will not take any action which
would directly or indirectly impair or adversely affect Buyer's title and right
to the Market Value or Securitization Value of the Purchased Loans;

                                       44
<PAGE>   49
              (b)  Further Liens. It will not pledge, assign, convey, grant,
bargain, sell, set over, deliver or otherwise transfer any interest in the
Purchased Loans or other Collateral to any person not a party to this Agreement
nor will either Seller create, incur or permit to exist any Lien in or on the
Purchased Loans or other Collateral except as described in Section 6 hereof
without the prior express written consent of Buyer;

              (c)  Merger or Dissolution. It will not enter into any transaction
of merger or consolidation or amalgamation, or liquidate, wind up or dissolve
itself (or suffer any liquidation or dissolution), sell all or substantially all
of its assets or change its name, identity or corporate structure, provided that
the Seller may merge and consolidate with any Person if the Seller is the
surviving corporation, or the entity into which it merges has equity and a
market value of at least that of the Seller immediately prior to such merger and
such entity expressly assumes the obligations of the Seller at the time of such
merger and, after giving effect thereto, no Default or Event of Default would
exist hereunder;

              (d)  Engage in Other Lines of Business. It will not engage, to any
substantial extent, in any line or lines of business activity other than the
businesses now generally carried on by it;

              (e)  Restrictions Upon Other Transactions. It will not enter into
any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or
exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate unless
such transaction is (a) otherwise permitted under this Agreement, (b) in the
ordinary course of Seller's business and (c) upon fair and reasonable terms no
less favorable to Seller than it would obtain in a comparable arm's length
transaction with a Person which is not an Affiliate, or make a payment to any
Affiliate that is not otherwise permitted by this Agreement;

              (f)  Loans and Advances. It will not make any advance (other than
advances made as required in connection with servicing Loans in the ordinary
course as to which it owns the servicing rights), loan, extension of credit or
capital contribution to, or purchase any stock, bonds, notes, debentures or
other securities of or any assets constituting a business unit of, or make any
other investment in, any Person;

              (g)  No Change in Fiscal Year. Its fiscal year will end on
September 30 and it will not make any changes to its fiscal year;

              (h)  No Adverse Action. It will not take any action which would
result in a Material Adverse Effect upon its business operations and/or
financial condition;

              (i)  Relocate Offices. It will not move its chief executive office
from its address as of the date hereof unless it shall have provided Buyer
fifteen (15) days' prior written notice of such change; or

              (j)  Restrictions On Distributions. It will not, after the
occurrence and during the continuation of any Default of which it has notice or
knowledge, or an Event of Default, make any distribution, payment on account of,
or set apart assets for, a sinking or other analogous fund for the purchase,
redemption, defeasance, retirement or other acquisition of any equity or
partnership interest of Seller, whether now or hereafter outstanding, or make
any other 

                                       45
<PAGE>   50
distribution in respect thereof, either directly or indirectly, whether in cash
or property or in obligations of Seller.

12.      AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS OF THE SELLERS

              For so long as this Agreement is in effect:

              (a)  Notification of Material Adverse Changes. Each Seller
covenants that it will promptly notify Buyer of any material adverse change in
its business operations and/or financial condition;

              (b)  Confirming Documents Regarding Representations and
Warranties. Each Seller shall provide Buyer with copies of such documentation as
Buyer may reasonably request evidencing the truthfulness of the representations
set forth in Section 10 hereof, including but not limited to resolutions
evidencing the approval of this Agreement by Seller's board of directors or loan
committee, copies of the minutes of the meetings of Seller's board of directors
or loan committee at which this Agreement and the Transactions contemplated by
this Agreement were approved;

              (c)  Maintenance of First Lien Position. Each Seller shall, at
Buyer's request, take all action necessary to ensure that Buyer will have a
first priority security interest in the related Collateral, including, among
other things, filing such Uniform Commercial Code financing statements as Buyer
may reasonably request;

              (d)  Notice of Defaults. Each Seller shall notify Buyer, no later
than one (1) Business Day after obtaining actual knowledge thereof, if any event
has occurred that constitutes a Breach, a Default, or an Event of Default with
respect to either Seller;

              (e)  Changes to Underwriting Guidelines and Loan Documents. Each
Seller covenants to provide Buyer with a copy of any material changes to that
Seller's Underwriting Guidelines or Seller's Loan Documents prior to the
effectiveness of any such change. Buyer shall use reasonable efforts to review
and approve or disapprove such changes within five (5) Business Days or
otherwise within a reasonable amount of time following receipt thereof. In the
event that Buyer does not approve such change in writing, Buyer shall not be
obligated to enter into any Transactions with respect to Eligible Loans
underwritten to such changed Underwriting Guidelines or relating to such changed
Seller's Loan Documents. Each Seller shall notify Buyer prior to entering into
any Significant Modification or assumption agreements with any Obligor and shall
deliver such documents to the Custodian for inclusion in the related Loan Files.
However, MHFC may act in the ordinary course of business as a prudent lender in
connection with MH Loans in making modifications other than Significant
Modifications (which must have prior approval from Buyer), prior to notifying
Buyer, if any only if, such action will not impair Buyer's interest therein and
MHFC notifies Buyer promptly upon making any such change. Any modification or
assumption agreements shall conform with the Seller's Underwriting Guidelines.
If a change in circumstances results in impairment of the marketability of Loans
that are underwritten pursuant to previously approved Underwriting Guidelines,
Buyer may notify Seller that it objects to continued use of such Underwriting
Guidelines, and Buyer shall thereafter be under no obligation to enter into any
Transactions with respect to Loans underwritten in accordance therewith (other
than Transactions for which Seller has issued a commitment letter, 

                                       46
<PAGE>   51
as to which Buyer shall use good faith efforts to effect the purchase, but the
Market Value and/or Securitization Values given the Loans subject thereto may be
re-adjusted by Buyer, in Buyer's sole discretion, to reflect the impairment of
marketability).

              (f)  Hedging. Each Seller shall at all times maintain Hedges,
having a notional amount not less than the aggregate outstanding balance of all
fixed rate Purchased Loans with Buyer or an Affiliate thereof, having terms with
respect to protection against fluctuations in interest rates reasonably
acceptable to Buyer. Buyer acknowledges that Seller's purchases of short sales
on U.S. Treasury Securities of equal duration to the Purchased Loans shall be an
acceptable interest rate protection strategy and Hedge program and Buyer shall
make available to Seller a knowledgeable individual for discussion purposes;

              (g)  Provision of Collateral Information for Each Loan. Each

14.      REMEDIES

              (a)  Buyer's Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs with respect
to either Seller or Guarantor, the following rights and remedies are available
to Buyer:

                   (i) Acceleration of Repurchase Date. At the option of Buyer,
         exercised by written notice to the Sellers (which option shall be
         deemed to have been exercised, even if no notice is given, immediately
         upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for
         each Transaction hereunder shall be deemed immediately to occur.

                   (ii) Sellers' Repurchase Obligations. If Buyer exercises or
         is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subsection (a)(i)
         of this Section,

                        (A) Sellers' obligations hereunder to repurchase all
              Purchased Loans in such Transactions shall thereupon become
              immediately due and payable,

                        (B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
             Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction shall be
             increased by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of,
             on a 360 day per year basis for the actual number of days during
             the period from and including the date of the exercise or deemed
             exercise of such option to but excluding the date of payment of the
             Repurchase Price as so increased, (x) the Pricing Rate for each
             such Transaction plus 4.0% to (y) the Repurchase Price for such
             Transaction as of the Repurchase Date as determined pursuant to
             subsection (a)(i) of this Section (decreased as of any day by (I)
             any amounts actually in the possession of Buyer pursuant to clause
             (C) of this subsection, (II) any proceeds from the sale of
             Purchased Loans applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant to
             subsection (a)(xii) of this Section, and (III) any amounts applied
             to the Repurchase Price pursuant to subsection (a)(iii) of this
             Section), and

                        (C) all Income actually received by the Buyer or its
             designee (including the Custodian) pursuant to Section 5 shall be
             applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price owed by Sellers.

                   (iii) Sale or Other Disposition of Loans by Buyer. After one
         (1) Business Day's notice to the Sellers (which notice need not be
         given if an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred, and which may be the
         notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section 14), Buyer may (A)
         immediately sell, without notice or demand of any kind, at a public or
         private sale and at such price or prices Buyer may reasonably deem
         satisfactory any or all Purchased Loans subject to a Transaction
         hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all
         or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Sellers credit for such
         Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of the Purchased
         Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price and any other
         amounts owing by Sellers hereunder. The proceeds of any disposition of
         Purchased Loans shall be 

                                       53
<PAGE>   58
         applied first to the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection
         with the Event of Default; second to the actual costs of cover and/or
         related hedging transactions; third to the Repurchase Price; and fourth
         to any other outstanding obligation of Sellers to Buyer or its
         Affiliates.

                   (iv) Buyer's Discretion in Connection with Liquidation of
         Loans. The parties recognize that it may not be possible to purchase or
         sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business Day, or in a
         transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner because the
         market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view of the
         nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation of a
         Transaction or the underlying Purchased Loans does not require a public
         purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall
         be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
         Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and
         manner of liquidating any Purchased Loan and nothing contained herein
         shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loan on the
         occurrence of an Event of Default or to liquidate all Purchased Loans
         in the same manner or on the same Business Day or (B) constitute a
         waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer. However, in recognition of the
         parties' agreement that the Transactions hereunder have been entered
         into in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that all
         Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual
         relationship and that each Transaction has been entered into in
         consideration of the other Transactions, the parties further agree that
         Buyer shall use its best efforts to liquidate all Transactions
         hereunder upon the occurrence of an Event of Default as quickly as is
         prudently possible in the reasonable judgment of Buyer.

                   (v) Appointment of a Receiver for Collateral. Buyer shall,
         without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Sellers'
         obligations under this Agreement, be entitled to the appointment of a
         receiver by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take
         possession of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the
         Collateral or any portion thereof, and collect the payments due with
         respect to the Collateral or any portion thereof. Sellers shall pay all
         costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with the appointment
         and activities of such receiver, including, without limitation, legal
         fees.

                   (vi) Injunction. Sellers agree that Buyer may obtain an
         injunction or an order of specific performance to compel Sellers to
         fulfill their obligations as set forth in Section 25 hereof, if Sellers
         fail or refuse to perform their obligations as set forth therein.

                   (vii) Joint and Several Obligation. Sellers shall be jointly
         and severally liable to Buyer for the amount of all expenses,
         reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of
         an Event of Default, including, without limitation, reasonable legal
         fees and expenses and reasonable costs incurred in connection with
         hedging or covering transactions.

                   (viii) Remedies Not Exclusive. Buyer shall have all the
         rights and remedies provided herein, provided by applicable federal,
         state, foreign, and local laws (including, without limitation, the
         rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial
         Code of the State of New York, to the extent that the Uniform

                                       54
<PAGE>   59
         Commercial Code is applicable, and the right to offset any mutual debt
         and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between Buyer and
         either or both Sellers.

                   (ix)  Concurrent Remedies. Buyer may exercise one or more of
         the remedies available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an
         Event of Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections
         (a)(i) and (iii) of this Section, at any time thereafter without notice
         to Sellers. All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as
         amended from time-to-time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of
         any other rights or remedies which Buyer may have.

                   (x)   Recourse to Other Assets of Sellers. In addition to its
         rights hereunder, Buyer shall have the right to proceed against any
         assets of Sellers which may be in the possession of Buyer or its
         designee (including the Custodian) including the right to liquidate
         such assets and to set off the proceeds against monies owed by Sellers
         to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement. Buyer may set off cash, the
         proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased Loans, any Collateral or
         its proceeds, and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer or its
         affiliates to Sellers against all of Sellers' obligations to Buyer,
         whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other
         agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such
         obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer's right to recover
         any deficiency. Any cash, proceeds, or property in excess of any
         amounts due, or which Buyer reasonably believes may become due, to it
         from Sellers shall be returned to Sellers after satisfaction of all
         obligations of Sellers to Buyer.

                   (xi)  Nonjudicial Processes. Buyer may enforce its rights and
         remedies hereunder without prior judicial process or hearing, and
         Sellers hereby expressly waive any defenses Sellers might otherwise
         have to require Buyer to enforce its rights by judicial process.
         Sellers also waive any defense Sellers might otherwise have arising
         from the use of nonjudicial process, enforcement and sale of all or any
         portion of the Collateral, or from any other election of remedies.
         Sellers recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are consistent with the
         usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial necessity and are the
         result of a bargain at arm's length.

                   (xii) Sales Pursuant to Securities Offerings. Buyer and
         Sellers hereby agree that sales of the Purchased Loans shall be deemed
         to include and permit the sales of Purchased Loans pursuant to a
         securities offering.

              (b)  Sellers' Remedies. If an Event of Default occurs with respect
         to Buyer, the following rights and remedies are available to Sellers:

                   (i)   Repurchase of All Purchased Loans. Upon tender by 
         Sellers of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Price for all such 
         Transactions, Buyer's right, title and interest in all Purchased Loans 
         subject to such Transactions shall be deemed transferred to the 
         respective Seller, and Buyer shall deliver or cause to be transferred 
         all such Purchased Loans to Sellers or their designees at Buyer's 
         expense.

                   (ii)  Replacement Loans. If Sellers exercise the option
         referred to in subsection (b)(i) of this Section and Buyer fails to
         deliver or cause to be delivered the 

                                       55
<PAGE>   60

         Purchased Loans to the respective Seller or its designee, after one
         Business Day's notice to Buyer, such Seller may (A) purchase Loans
         ("Replacement Loans") that are as similar as is reasonably practicable
         in characteristics, outstanding principal amounts (as a pool) and
         interest rate to any Purchased Loans that are not delivered by Buyer to
         Sellers or its designees as required hereunder or (B) in its sole
         discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Loans, to be deemed
         to have purchased Replacement Loans at a price therefor on such date,
         equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Loans.

                   (iii) Buyer's Liability. Buyer shall be liable to the
         Sellers, and Buyer shall pay to the Sellers on demand, (A) with respect
         to Purchased Loans (other than Additional Loans), for any excess of the
         price paid (or deemed paid) by Sellers for Replacement Loans therefor
         over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loans and (B) with respect
         to Additional Loans, for the price paid (or deemed paid) by Sellers for
         the Replacement Loans therefor. In addition, Buyer shall be liable to
         Sellers for interest on such remaining liability with respect to each
         such purchase (or deemed purchase) of Replacement Loans calculated on a
         360-day year basis for the actual number of days during the period from
         and including the date of such purchase (or deemed purchase) until paid
         in full by Buyer. Such interest shall be at the greater of the Pricing
         Rate or the Prime Rate.

                   (iv)  Sellers' Expenses. Buyer shall be liable to Sellers for
         the amount of all expenses reasonably incurred by Sellers in connection
         with or as a consequence of an Event of Default, including, without
         limitation, reasonable legal expenses and reasonable expenses incurred
         in connection with covering existing hedging transactions with respect
         to the Purchased Loans.

                   (v)   Remedies Not Exclusive. Sellers shall have all the 
         rights and remedies provided herein, provided by applicable federal, 
         state, foreign, and local laws, in equity, and under any other 
         agreement between Buyer and Sellers, including, without limitation, the
         right to offset any debt or claim.

                   (vi)  Concurrent Remedies. Sellers may exercise one or more 
         of the remedies available to Sellers immediately upon the occurrence of
         an Event of Default and at any time thereafter without notice to Buyer.
         All rights and remedies arising under this Agreement as amended from
         time-to-time hereunder are cumulative and not exclusive of any other
         rights or remedies which Sellers may have.

15.      DUE DILIGENCE

              Sellers acknowledge that Buyer has the right to perform continuing
due diligence reviews with respect to the Loans, for purposes of verifying
compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made
hereunder, or otherwise, and Sellers agree that upon reasonable prior notice to
Sellers, provided that, in the event that a Default shall have occurred, then
without notice, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during
normal business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the
Loan Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records, agreements,
instruments or information relating to such Loans in the possession or under the
control of Sellers, any Servicer or subservicer and/or the Custodian. Sellers
also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or 

                                       56
<PAGE>   61
accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Loan
Files and the Loans. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Sellers
acknowledge that Buyer may enter into Transactions with the Sellers based solely
upon the Collateral Information provided by each respective Seller to Buyer and
the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer,
at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due
diligence review on some or all of the Loans. Buyer may underwrite such Loans
itself or engage a mutually agreed upon third party underwriter to perform such
underwriting. Sellers agree to cooperate with Buyer and any third party
underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to,
providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all
documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such
Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Sellers. Sellers further agree
that Sellers shall reimburse Buyer for any and all out-of-pocket costs and
expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with Buyer's activities
pursuant to this Section 15 hereof.

16.      SINGLE AGREEMENT

              Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that, and have entered hereunto and
will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance
upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and that each has been entered into in consideration of
the other Transactions. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Sellers agree (i) to
perform all of their respective obligations in respect of each Transaction
hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall
constitute a default in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of
them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in
respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any
other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries, and other
transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed
to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries, and other transfers
in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any
such payments, deliveries, and other transfers may be applied against each other
and netted; provided, however, that the parties hereto acknowledge and agree
that each Purchased Loan is identified and unique and nothing in this Agreement
should limit or reduce Buyer's obligation to deliver the Purchased Loans to
Sellers as and when provided herein.

17.      NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

              Unless another address is specified in writing by the respective
party to whom any written notice or other communication is to be given
hereunder, all such notices or communications shall be in writing or confirmed
in writing (including without limitation by telex or telecopy) and delivered to
the intended recipient at the "Address for Notices" specified below its name on
the signature page hereof), or, as to any party, at such other address as shall
be designated by such party in a written notice to each other party. All notices

18.      ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

              This Agreement together with the applicable Facility Documents and
Confirmations constitute the entire understanding between Buyer and Sellers with
respect to the subject matter it covers and shall supersede any existing
agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for
repurchase transactions involving Purchased Loans. By acceptance of this
Agreement, Buyer and Sellers acknowledge that they have not made, and are not
relying upon, any statements, representations, promises or undertakings not
contained in this Agreement. Each provision and agreement herein shall be
treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein
and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other
provision or agreement.

19.      NON-ASSIGNABILITY

              The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and
under any Transaction shall not be assigned by Sellers without the prior written
consent of Buyer. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement express or implied,
shall give to any person, other than the parties to this Agreement and their
successors hereunder, any benefit or any legal or equitable right, power, remedy
or claim under this Agreement.

20.      TERMINABILITY

              This Agreement shall terminate upon the earlier of (i) the Final
Repurchase Date and (ii) written notice from either Seller to Buyer to such
effect, except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding the above clause,
remain applicable to any Transaction then outstanding and provided however, that
as a condition precedent to any termination by either Seller, the Exit Fee
required pursuant to Section 3(j)(4) hereof shall be paid by BAC to Buyer.

              Notwithstanding any such termination or the occurrence of an Event
of Default, all of the representations, warranties and indemnities hereunder
(including the Loan Representations) shall continue and survive.

21.      GOVERNING LAW

              THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE
WITH, THE INTERNAL LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE
CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

22.      CONSENT TO JURISDICTION

              The parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
New York, the parties irrevocably waiving any objection thereto. If, for any
reason, federal jurisdiction is not available, and only if federal jurisdiction
is not available, the parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the parties
irrevocably waiving any objection thereto.

                                       58
<PAGE>   63
23.      NO WAIVERS, ETC.

              No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by any party
shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any
remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise
any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective
unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the
parties hereto. Any such waiver or modification shall be effective only in the
specific instance and for the specific purpose for which it was given.

24.      INTENT

              The parties understand and intend that this Agreement and each
Transaction hereunder constitute a "repurchase agreement" and a "securities
contract" as those terms are defined under the relevant provisions of Title 11
of the United States Code, as amended.

25.      SERVICING

              (a)  Servicing for Buyer using Accepted Servicing Practices.
Notwithstanding the purchase and sale of the Purchased Loans hereby, the
respective Seller and, pursuant to their respective Servicing Agreement, the MH
Servicer and the Mortgage Loan Servicer, as applicable, shall continue to
service the respective Purchased Loans for the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer
shall exercise its rights to pledge or hypothecate the Purchased Loan prior to
the related Repurchase Date pursuant to Section 8 hereof, Buyer's assigns;
provided, however, that the obligations of a Seller to service Purchased Loans
shall cease, at that Seller's option, upon the payment by Seller to Buyer of the
Repurchase Price therefor. The respective Seller shall service or cause the
respective Servicer to service the Purchased Loans in accordance with Accepted
Servicing Practices approved by Buyer and maintained by other prudent mortgage
lenders with respect to mortgage loans similar to those Purchased Loans.

              (b)  Servicing Agreements and Servicing Records. Each Seller
agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records, including but not
limited to any and all servicing agreements (the "Servicing Agreements"), files,
documents, books, records, data bases, computer tapes, disks, copies of computer
tapes, Seller's rights in any data processing software, computer programs and
related property and rights, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies,
appraisals, other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other
records relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (the
"Servicing Records") so long as the Purchased Loans are subject to this
Agreement. Each Seller grants Buyer a security interest in all the respective
servicing fees and rights relating to the Purchased Loans and all Servicing
Records to secure the obligation of both Sellers or their designees to service
in conformity with this Section and any other obligation of the respective
Seller to Buyer. Sellers covenant to safeguard their respective Servicing
Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee (including the
Custodian) at Buyer's request.

              (c)  Buyer's Options Upon Default by Servicers. Upon the
occurrence and continuance of a Default (including upon the failure of a Seller,
Servicer or any subservicer to meet Accepted Servicing Practices after notice of
default and failure by the Servicer to cure any such default within 15 days
thereafter), Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the

                                       59
<PAGE>   64
Purchased Loans on a servicing released basis or (ii) terminate the Sellers,
Servicer or any subservicer as servicer of the Purchased Loans with or without
cause, in each case without payment of any termination fee, in which case
Sellers will promptly, within five (5) Business Days, transfer servicing, or
cause servicing to be transferred, to the Back-up Servicer. Buyer agrees that if
Buyer has caused the transfer of servicing to the Back-up Servicer pursuant to a
Default, and such Default does not become an Event of Default within sixty (60)
days, Buyer shall transfer servicing back to the Servicer, at Buyer's expense.

              (d)  Each Seller shall provide to the Buyer a letter from its
Servicer (the "Servicing Letter") (i) acknowledging Buyer's security interest in
the Loans, (ii) granting Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and
rights relating to Loans and all Servicing Records related thereto to secure the
obligation of Servicer to service in conformity with this Agreement, (iii)
acknowledging that Buyer is the collateral assignee of all Servicing Records,
(iv) acknowledging that upon a Default, the Seller may terminate any Servicing
Agreement upon request of the Buyer, and Servicer shall transfer servicing to
Buyer's designee, at no cost or expense to the Buyer, it being agreed that the
Seller will pay any and all fees required to terminate the Servicing Agreement
and to effectuate the transfer of servicing to the designee of the Buyer, and
(v) agreeing to allow Buyer to inspect the Servicer's servicing facilities, for
the purpose of satisfying the Buyer that the Servicer has the ability to service
the Loans as provided herein.

              (e)  No Subservicers Without Buyer Consent. Sellers shall not
employ subservicers to service the Purchased Loans without the prior written
approval of Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If the
Purchased Loans are serviced by a subservicer, Sellers irrevocably assign all of
their rights, title and interest in any such subservicing agreement, with
respect to the Purchased Loans, to Buyer. The applicable Seller shall cause any
subservicers engaged by or for the benefit of that Seller to execute a letter
agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer's security interest and agreeing that,
upon notice from Buyer (or the Custodian on its behalf) that an Event of Default
has occurred and is continuing hereunder, it shall deposit all Income with
respect to the Purchased Loans in the account specified in the third sentence of
Section 5(a) hereof.

              (f)  Subordination of Servicing Fees. The payment of servicing
fees shall be subordinate to payment of amounts outstanding under any
Transaction and this Agreement.

26.      DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

              The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that in the
case of Transactions in which one of the parties is an "insured depository
institution" as that term is defined in Section 1831(a) of Title 12 of the
United States Code, as amended, funds held by the financial institution pursuant
to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by
the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Savings Association Insurance
Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund, as applicable.

                                       60
<PAGE>   65
27.      NETTING

              If Buyer and Sellers are "financial institutions" as now or
hereinafter defined in Section 4402 of Title 12 of the United States Code
("Section 4402") and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder:

              (a)  All amounts to be paid or advanced by any one party to or on
behalf of the other under this Agreement or any Transaction hereunder shall be
deemed to be "payment obligations" and all amounts to be received by or on
behalf of one party from the other under this Agreement or any Transaction
hereunder shall be deemed to be "payment entitlements" within the meaning of
Section 4402, and this Agreement shall be deemed to be a "netting contract" as
defined in Section 4402.

              (b)  The payment obligations and the payment entitlements of the
parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be
netted as follows. In the event that either party (the "Defaulting Party") shall
fail to honor any payment obligation under this Agreement or any Transaction
hereunder, the other party (the "Nondefaulting Party") shall be entitled to
reduce the amount of any payment to be made by the Nondefaulting Party to the
Defaulting Party by the amount of the payment obligation that the Defaulting
Party failed to honor.

28.      INDEMNIFICATION

              Each Seller agrees to jointly and severally hold Buyer harmless
from and indemnify Buyer against all liabilities, losses, damages, judgments,
reasonably incurred costs and expenses of any kind which may be imposed on,
incurred by or asserted against Buyer (collectively, the "Costs") relating to or
arising out of the Transactions or this Agreement, including reasonable legal
costs and settlement costs, except if such losses, liabilities, claims, damages
or expenses result from Buyer's gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Seller agrees to jointly and
severally hold Buyer harmless from and indemnify Buyer against all Costs with
respect to all Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged
violation of any environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit
laws, including without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the
Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything
other than Buyer's gross negligence or willful misconduct. In any suit,
proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any Loan for any sum
owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any Loan, each Seller will
jointly and severally save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and against
all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account
debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by either Seller of any
obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or obligor or
its successors from Sellers. Each Seller also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and
when billed by Buyer for all Buyer's costs and expenses incurred in connection
with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer's rights under this Agreement
or any Transaction contemplated hereby, amendments and waivers, including
without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Each
Seller hereby acknowledges that, the obligations of both Sellers hereunder are
recourse obligations of each Seller.

<PAGE>   66
29.      ESTABLISHMENT OF COLLECTION ACCOUNT

              (a)  Each Seller shall, or shall cause each Servicer to, establish
and maintain one or more collection accounts for the Buyer's benefit, which may
be interest-bearing, entitled, as applicable: (i) "Bloomfield Servicing Company,
L.L.C. in trust for Bloomfield Acceptance Company, L.L.C." (the "Bloomfield
Blocked Account") or (ii) "St. James Servicing Corporation in trust for MHFC,
Inc." (the "St. James Blocked Account") (together, the "Blocked Accounts"). The
Blocked Accounts shall be governed by the terms in this Section 29 and the
Blocked Account Agreements. The provisions of this Section 29 apply separately
to each Blocked Account and to BAC with respect to the Bloomfield Blocked
Account and MHFC with respect to the St. James Blocked Account, and to BAC's and
MHFC's respective Servicers.

              (b)  Sellers shall, or shall cause the Servicers to, deposit all
payments received and all proceeds received from sales of any Loans, within one
(1) Business Day following receipt thereof. BAC must instruct all Obligors on
Mortgage Loans and Floorplan Loans to remit all payments directly to the
Bloomfield Blocked Account. MHFC must instruct all Obligors on MH Loans to remit
all payments directly to the St. James Blocked Account.

              (c)  Permitted Withdrawals

                         (A) Distributions. Subject to the provisions
              hereof, and to the extent available for distribution, all funds
              held in the Blocked Accounts, or received by the applicable Seller
              or Servicer as of one calendar day prior to two Business Days
              immediately preceding each Payment Date during the period in which

                         SECOND: To the Buyer in accordance with the Buyer's

<PAGE>   67
                         FIFTH:  To the respective Seller in accordance with its
              wire transfer instructions, an amount equal to any proceeds
              indicated on that Seller's most recent Distribution Worksheet for
              such Payment Date as are remaining in the Blocked Account and
              available for distribution to that Seller on such Payment Date.

                         The relevant Seller or the Servicer, as the case may
              be, shall be entitled to transfer funds on deposit in a Blocked
              Account to one or more Escrow Accounts for the purpose of holding
              funds attributable to Escrow Payments; provided that any Escrow
              Account is identified and is subject to a Blocked Account
              Agreement.

                         (B) Distribution in the Event of Default. To the extent
              available for distribution to Sellers on each Payment Date, all
              funds held in the Blocked Account or received by either Seller or
              Servicer during a period in which there is a Default which has
              occurred and is known to the Sellers or as to which Buyer has
              notified Sellers, and which is continuing, shall be distributed on
              each Payment Date in the following order of priority:

                         FIRST:  To payment to the Buyer of amounts as set forth
              in the subheadings entitled "SECOND AND THIRD" in Subsection (A)
              above;

                         SECOND: To payment of the Repurchase Price for any then
              outstanding Transactions;

                         THIRD:  To any additional amounts owing to the Buyer
                   hereunder; and

                         FOURTH: Any surplus then remaining shall be paid to the
              respective Sellers or their successors or assigns or to whomsoever
              may be lawfully entitled to receive the same or as a court of
              competent jurisdiction may direct.

              (d)  The distributions set forth in subsection (c) of this Section
shall be determined pursuant to the Distribution Worksheet for each respective
Seller. Each Seller shall or shall cause its Servicer to deliver its respective
Distribution Worksheet to that Seller and Buyer by facsimile by no later than
12:00 noon (New York time) on the second preceding Business Day prior to each
Payment Date. Prior to remitting any distributions pursuant to this Section, the
respective Seller and its Servicers shall have received by facsimile, the
written consent of Buyer to the information set forth on a Distribution
Worksheet. In the event that Buyer shall have failed to consent to a
Distribution Worksheet by 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Business Day prior to
each Payment Date, the affected Seller or its Servicer shall promptly contact
Buyer and shall use its best efforts to obtain such written consent. In the
event that Buyer disputes any calculation set forth on a Distribution Worksheet,
the affected Servicer shall promptly contact Buyer and the respective Seller,
and all parties shall use their best efforts to resolve such dispute; provided
that, Buyer's good faith determination that accrued interest is due and owing or
that a Collateral Deficit exists under this Agreement shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.

<PAGE>   68
              (e)  Reliance on Distribution Worksheets. The Lockbox Bank and the
Servicers may rely upon any Distribution Worksheet which has been consented to
by Buyer, and neither the Lockbox Bank nor the Servicers shall have any
liability to Buyer for actions taken in reliance on such Distribution Worksheet.
All distributions made by a Servicer pursuant to this Section shall be (subject
to any decree of any court of competent jurisdiction) final, and that Servicer
shall have no duty to inquire as to the application by Buyer of any amounts
distributed to it.

              (f)  Appointment of Third Party Upon Default. In the event a
Default shall occur and be continuing, Buyer may select a third party to prepare
and distribute the Distribution Worksheets to all of the parties.

              (g)  Accrued Interest and Sellers' Separate Funds. Unless an Event
of Default has occurred and is continuing, all interest accrued on Blocked
Account(s) shall be allocated to the applicable Seller and shall constitute part
of the funds available for distribution to Sellers in accordance with the
foregoing procedure. Any of a Seller's separate funds used to establish any
Blocked Account may be distributed to the relevant Seller at any time prior to
an Event of Default in accordance with the Distribution Worksheet.
