ARTICLE II


 


THE NOTE


 


Section 2.1.                                        The
Note.


 


(a)                                  On
the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the Borrower shall deliver on
the Closing Date to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, one
duly executed promissory note in substantially the form of Exhibit B
(the “Note”) dated as of the date of this Agreement, and otherwise duly
completed.  The face amount and maximum
principal balance of the Note shall be $34,891,977.97.


 


(b)                                 At
least two Business Days prior to the Closing Date, the Borrower (or the
Servicer on its behalf) will provide the Administrative Agent with a wire
disbursement and authorization form instructing the Administrative Agent of the
account where the Borrower requests the Loan be funded.  On the Closing Date, and subject to the terms
and conditions hereinafter set forth and the satisfaction of all conditions
precedent in Article III, each Lender shall fund its Pro Rata Share
of the Loan to the Borrower, in immediately available funds via wire transfer,
in accordance with the written instructions of the Borrower, provided that the
amount of the Loan funded shall not exceed the Maximum Outstanding Loan Amount.


 


(c)                                  The
Borrower may, within 90 days but not less than 30 days prior to the Maturity
Date, by written notice to the Administrative Agent, make a request for each
Lender to extend the Maturity Date for an additional period of 364 days.  The Administrative Agent shall promptly
notify each Lender of receipt of such notice. 
The Administrative Agent and each Lender shall make a determination, in
their sole discretion, within 15 days of the date of the Borrower’s request for
such extension, as to whether or not it will agree to the applicable extension
requested.  The failure of the
Administrative Agent and each Lender to provide timely notice of its decision
to the Borrower shall be deemed to constitute a refusal by the Administrative
Agent and each Lender to extend the applicable date.  The Borrower confirms that the Administrative
Agent and each Lender, in their sole and absolute discretion, without regard to
the value or performance of the Collateral or any other factor, may elect not
to extend the Maturity Date.  The
Borrower shall give prompt notice to the Backup Servicer and the Collateral
Custodian as to whether or not the Maturity Date has been extended.  In the event the Maturity Date has not been
extended the Borrower may repay the Outstanding Loan Balance and all other
Aggregate Unpaids in accordance with Section 2.6 by transferring
the remaining Collateral to an Affiliate (including, but not limited to, the
existing financing facility between the Administrative Agent and Fair Facility
I, LLC, subject to the availability and terms of such facility); provided that if the Borrower chooses not to exercise such
option then the Borrower shall pay all amounts necessary to reduce the
Outstanding Loan Balance to $0 pursuant to Section 2.6.


 


27

















 


Section 2.2.                                          [Reserved]


 


Section 2.3.                                          Determination
of Interest.


 


(a)                                  The
Administrative Agent shall determine, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement, the Interest Rate and the Interest (including unpaid Interest
related thereto, if any, due and payable on a prior Payment Date) to be paid by
the Borrower with respect to the Loan on each Payment Date for the related
Accrual Period and shall advise the Borrower, the Servicer and each Lender
thereof not later than 2:00 p.m. on the third Business Day following the
end of each Collection Period.  The
Borrower shall pay all Interest due for each applicable Accrual Period pursuant
to Section 2.6.


 


(b)                                 Anything
in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents to the contrary
notwithstanding, if at any time the rate of interest payable by any Person
under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents exceeds the highest rate of
interest permissible under Applicable Law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then, so
long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest under
this Agreement and the Transaction Documents shall be equal to the Maximum
Lawful Rate.  If at any time thereafter
the rate of interest payable under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents
is less than the Maximum Lawful Rate, such Person shall continue to pay
interest under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents at the Maximum Lawful
Rate until such time as the total interest received from such Person is equal
to the total interest that would have been received had Applicable Law not
limited the interest rate payable under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents.  In no event shall the total
interest received by a Lender under this Agreement and the Transaction
Documents exceed the amount that such Lender could lawfully have received, had
the interest due under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents been
calculated since the Closing Date at the Maximum Lawful Rate.


 


Section 2.4.                                          Notations
on the Note.


 


The
Administrative Agent is hereby authorized to enter on a schedule attached to
the Note a notation (which may be computer generated) or to otherwise record in
its internal books and records or computer system with respect to the Loan (a) the
date of the funding of the Loan and principal amount thereof and (b) each
repayment of principal thereof.  Any such
recordation shall, absent manifest error, constitute prima facie evidence of
the Outstanding Loan Balance under the Note. 
The failure of the Administrative Agent to make any such notation on the
schedule attached to the Note shall not limit or otherwise affect the
obligation of the Borrower to repay the Loan in accordance with the terms set
forth herein.


 


Section 2.5.                                          Principal
Repayments.


 


(a)                                  Unless
sooner prepaid pursuant to Section 2.6, the Outstanding Loan
Balance shall be repaid in full on the Termination Date.


 


(b)                                 If
as of any Measurement Date the Outstanding Loan Balance exceeds the Maximum
Outstanding Loan Amount (including as a result of an Eligible Receivable
becoming a Defaulted Receivable), the Borrower shall within five (5) Business
Days of the actual knowledge thereof by a Responsible Officer deposit the Required
Reduction Amount into the Collection Account.

reliance on the information set forth in such Servicing Report) to the
following Persons, the following amounts in the following order of priority:


 


(a)                                  to

on the respective amounts owed under all Interest Rate Hedge Transactions
related thereto, including any unpaid Hedge Breakage Costs with respect
thereto;


 


(b)                                 to
the Servicer, in an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid Servicing Fees and
any reimbursable expenses of any successor Servicer;


 


(c)                                  pro  rata in
accordance with the amounts due under this clause and to the extent not paid by
the Borrower, to the Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian, pro rata, in an amount equal to (i) any accrued and
unpaid Backup Servicing Fees, Collateral Custodian Fees, Owner Trustee Fees and
Transition Expenses, and (ii) incurred but unreimbursed reasonable
third-party, out-of-pocket expenses relating to their respective duties as
Backup Servicer, Collateral Custodian or Owner Trustee hereunder, in respect of
which the Backup Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or the Owner Trustee, as
applicable, has provided prior written notice setting forth such expenses in
reasonable detail to the Servicer and the Administrative Agent, for the payment
thereof, provided that amounts payable pursuant
to this clause (ii) shall not exceed $5,000 for any Payment Date;


 


(d)                                 to
the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Lenders, in an amount equal to any
accrued and unpaid Interest and any other fees or expenses due and payable to
the Lenders hereunder;


 


(e)                                  to
the Administrative Agent, for the account of each applicable Lender in
reduction of the Outstanding Loan Balance, an amount equal to the Required
Reduction Amount, if any;


 


(f)                                    pro rata in accordance with the amounts due under this
clause to the Administrative Agent, any applicable Lender, the Backup Servicer,
the Collateral Custodian, any successor Servicer, the Indemnified Parties or
the Secured Parties, all other amounts, including any expenses, Increased

(g)                                 after
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the
Administrative Agent, for the account of each applicable Lender, all amounts
necessary to reduce the Outstanding Loan Balance to $0; and


 


(h)                                 any
remaining amounts shall be distributed to the Borrower (and the Borrower shall
be permitted to, among other things, further distribute such amounts to its
Affiliates or its members at its discretion); provided
that the Borrower may at its discretion direct 


 


29

















 


the Collateral Custodian
to pay any portion of the remaining amounts to the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the Lenders, in reduction of the Outstanding Loan Balance.


 


Section 2.7.                                          Collections
and Allocations.


 


(a)                                  Collections.  The Servicer shall direct each Obligor on the
Receivables to make payments only to one of the Lockbox Accounts listed on Schedule
VIII, as such Schedule VIII may be amended from time to time.  The Borrower and the Servicer shall transfer,
or cause to be transferred (whether by wire transfer or other electronic means,
which shall not include ACH transfers), to the Concentration Account by the
close of business on each Business Day, all Collections constituting collected
or available funds received in the Lockbox Accounts or received directly by
them.  Pursuant to the Concentration
Account Agreement, the Servicer shall cause the applicable Collections to be
transferred from the Concentration Account to the Collection Account within one
(1) Business Day of deposit therein. 
The Servicer shall further include a statement as to the amount of
Collections on deposit in the Collection Account on each Reporting Date in the
Servicing Report delivered pursuant to Section 6.8(a).


 


(b)                                 Excluded
Amounts.  With the prior written
consent of the Administrative Agent which consent may be given by an e-mail
transmittal, the Servicer may withdraw from the Collection Account (not more
than once per week) any deposits thereto constituting Excluded Amounts if the
Servicer has, prior to such withdrawal and consent, delivered to the
Administrative Agent a report (a copy of which (together with the written
consent of the Administrative Agent) will be provided by the Servicer to the
Backup Servicer and Collateral Custodian) setting forth the calculation of such
Excluded Amounts in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the
Administrative Agent.


 


(c)                                  Initial
Deposits.  On the Closing Date, the
Servicer will direct the Collateral Custodian in writing to deposit into the Collection
Account all Collections received in respect of Receivables after the applicable
cutoff date established in connection with the acquisition thereof (if other
than the Closing Date) and delivered to the Collateral Custodian.


 


(d)                                 Investment
of Funds.  Prior to the occurrence
and continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent there are uninvested
amounts deposited in the Collection Account, all such amounts shall be invested
in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer in written instructions
delivered to the Collateral Custodian (which may be in the form of standing
instructions); during the continuance of an Event of Default, to the extent
there are uninvested amounts in the Collection Account, all such amounts may be
invested in Permitted Investments selected by the Servicer and approved in
writing by the Administrative Agent (such approval not to be unreasonably
withheld or delayed).  All earnings (net
of losses and investment expenses) thereon shall be retained or deposited into
the Collection Account and shall be applied on each Payment Date pursuant to
the provisions of Section 2.6. 
All investments shall be subject to availability.  Absent receipt of instructions as
contemplated herein, the Collateral Custodian shall have no obligation to
invest any funds.  Each Permitted
Investment may be purchased by or through the Collateral Custodian or its
Affiliates.  The Collateral Custodian
shall have no responsibility for the performance of any Permitted
Investment.  It is understood and
acknowledged that the Backup Servicer, if appointed as Servicer hereunder,
shall not be required to select Permitted Investments.

Computations, Etc.


 


(a)                                  Unless
otherwise expressly provided herein, all amounts to be paid or deposited by the
Borrower or the initial Servicer hereunder shall be paid or deposited in
accordance with the terms hereof no later than 2:00 p.m. on the day when
due in lawful money of the United States in immediately available funds and any
amount not received by such time shall be deemed received on the next Business
Day.  All computations of interest and
other fees hereunder shall be made on the basis of a year consisting of 360
days for the actual number of days elapsed.


 


(b)                                 Whenever
any payment hereunder shall be stated to be due on a day other than a Business
Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Business Day, and such
extension of time shall in such case be included in the computation of the
payment of Interest or any fee payable hereunder, as the case may be.


 


Section 2.9.                                          [Reserved]


 


Section 2.10.                                   Increased
Costs; Capital Adequacy; Illegality.


 


(a)                                  If
after the Closing Date or with respect to a particular Lender, the date such
Lender joins this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.16 either (i) the
introduction of or any change (including, without limitation, any change by way
of imposition or increase of reserve requirements) in or in the interpretation
of any Applicable Law or (ii) the compliance by a Lender with any
guideline or request from any central bank or other Governmental Authority
(whether or not having the force of law), shall (A) subject a Lender to
any Tax (except net income, gross income or franchise and similar taxes imposed
on any Lender by a taxing jurisdiction in which any such Person is organized,
conducts business or is paying taxes (as the case may be)), duty or other
charge with respect to any interest in the Collateral, or any right or
obligation to make the Loan hereunder, or on any payment made hereunder, (B) impose,
modify or deem applicable any reserve requirement (including, without
limitation, any reserve requirement imposed by the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System, but excluding any reserve requirement, if any, included
in the determination of Interest), special deposit or similar requirement
against assets of, deposits with or for the amount of, or credit extended by,
any Lender under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or (C) impose
any other condition affecting the ownership or security interest in the
Collateral conveyed to the Lenders hereunder or any Lender’s rights hereunder
or under any other Transaction Document, the result of which is to increase the
cost to any Lender or to reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by
a Lender under this Agreement or under any other Transaction Document, then on
the Payment Date following demand by such Lender (or the next Payment Date, if
such demand is given less than five (5) days prior to a Payment Date)
(which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth in reasonable
detail the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay directly to such
Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Lender for
such additional or increased cost incurred or such reduction suffered.


 


(b)                                 If
either (i) the introduction of or any change in or in the interpretation
of any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request or (ii) compliance
by any Lender with any law, guideline, rule, regulation, directive or request
from any central bank or other 


 


31

















 


governmental authority or
agency (whether or not having the force of law), including, without limitation,
compliance by a Lender with any request or directive regarding capital
adequacy, has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the
capital of any Lender as a consequence of its obligations hereunder or arising
in connection herewith to a level below that which any such Lender could have
achieved on the date it became a Lender, and to such extent, but for such
introduction, change or compliance (taking into consideration the policies of
such Lender with respect to capital adequacy) by a material amount, then from
time to time, on the Payment Date following demand by such Lender (or the next
Payment Date, if such demand is given less than five (5) days prior to a
Payment Date) (which demand shall be accompanied by a statement setting forth
in reasonable detail the basis for such demand), the Borrower shall pay
directly to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as will compensate
such Lender for such reduction.  For the
avoidance of doubt, if the issuance of any amendment or supplement to
Interpretation No. 46 or to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 140
by the Financial Accounting Standards Board or any other change in accounting
standards or the issuance of any other pronouncement, release or
interpretation, causes or requires the consolidation of all or a portion of the
assets and liabilities of the Borrower with the assets and liabilities of any
Lender or shall otherwise impose any loss, cost, expense, reduction of return
on capital or other loss or any Lender, such event shall constitute a circumstance
on which such Lender may base a claim for reimbursement under this Section 2.10.


 


(c)                                  In
determining any amount provided for in this Section 2.10, the
Lender may use any reasonable averaging and attribution methods.  Any Lender making a claim under this Section 2.10
shall submit to the Servicer and the Borrower a written description in
reasonable detail as to such additional or increased cost or reduction and the
calculation thereof, which written description shall be conclusive absent
manifest error.


 


(d)                                 Failure
or delay on the part of any Lender to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.10
shall not constitute a waiver of such Lender’s right to demand or receive such
compensation.  The Borrower shall not be
required to compensate a Lender for any loss, cost or expense under this Section unless
a claim therefor has been made within 180 days of knowledge thereof by such
Lender.


 


Section 2.11.                                   Taxes.


 


(a)                                  All
payments made by the Borrower or the Servicer (on behalf of the Borrower) under
this Agreement will be made free and clear of and without deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Taxes. 
If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts payable
hereunder, then the amount payable to such Person will be increased (the amount
of such increase, the “Additional Amount”) such that every net payment
made under this Agreement after withholding for or on account of any Taxes
(including, without limitation, any Taxes on such increase) is not less than
the amount that would have been paid had no such deduction or withholding been
made; provided that no Additional Amount shall
be payable hereunder to any Person to the extent such amount is payable as a
result of the failure of such Person to comply with Section 2.11(d).  The foregoing obligation to pay Additional
Amounts with respect to payments required to be made by the Borrower under this
Agreement will not, however, apply with respect to net income, gross income or
franchise and similar taxes imposed on the Administrative Agent or any Lender.


 


32

















 


(b)                                 The
initial Servicer will indemnify (and to the extent the indemnification provided
by the initial Servicer is insufficient, the Borrower will indemnify) each
Lender for the full amount of Taxes payable by such Persons in respect of
Additional Amounts and any liability (including interest and expenses) arising
therefrom or with respect thereto; provided that
no indemnification shall be payable hereunder to any Person to the extent such
amount is payable as a result of the failure of such Person to comply with Section 2.11(d).  All payments in respect of this
indemnification shall be made on the Payment Date following the date a written
invoice therefor setting forth in reasonable detail the basis and calculation
of such amounts is delivered to the Borrower. 
In the event any Secured Party receives a refund of any amount paid by
the Borrower or the initial Servicer pursuant to this Section 2.11,
as long as no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, such Secured
Party shall promptly remit such refunded amount to the Borrower or the initial
Servicer, as applicable.

any Lender is not created or organized under the laws of the United States or a
political subdivision thereof, such Lender (or the Administrative Agent on the
Lender’s behalf) shall deliver to the Borrower, with a copy to the
Administrative Agent, the Collateral Custodian and the Servicer, (i) within
fifteen (15) days after the date such Lender becomes party to the applicable

prescribed by Applicable Law) duly completed copies of IRS Form W-8BEN or Form W-8ECI

or statements as may be required under Applicable Law to permit the Borrower to

withholding of United States federal income or similar Taxes (and, in either
case, the Borrower shall be permitted to withhold, without penalty or
liability, amounts it deems reasonably necessary if such documentation is not
delivered hereunder).  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, any additional costs or expenses that are due to the fact that a
Lender is not created or organized in the United States shall not be passed
through to the Borrower.


 


(e)                                  Without
prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Borrower hereunder, the

therewith.  The Borrower confirms that at
any time during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon ten (10) days

and Warranties of the Borrower.


 


The Borrower
represents and warrants as follows as of the Closing Date and as of each
Measurement Date (in each and every case solely with respect to the period
since the Closing Date and with respect to developments since the Closing
Date):


 


(a)                                  Organization

Qualification.  The Borrower is duly
qualified to do business as a statutory trust, and has obtained all necessary
qualifications, licenses and approvals, in all jurisdictions in which the
conduct of its business requires such qualifications, licenses or approvals
except to the extent that failure to obtain all necessary qualifications, licenses,
or approvals could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.


 


(c)                                  Power
and Authority; Due Authorization; Execution and Delivery.  The Borrower (i) has all necessary

(d)                                 Binding
Obligation.  This Agreement and each
other Transaction Document to which the Borrower is a party constitutes a
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Borrower enforceable against the
Borrower in accordance with its respective terms, except as such enforceability
may be limited by Insolvency Laws and by general principles of equity (whether
considered in a suit at law or in equity).


 


(e)                                  No
Violation.  The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents
to which it is a party and the fulfillment of the terms hereof and thereof will
not (i) conflict with, result in any breach of any of the terms and
provisions of, or constitute (with or without notice or lapse of time or both)
a default under, the Trust Agreement or any Contractual Obligation of the
Borrower, (ii) result in the creation or imposition of any Lien (other
than Permitted Liens) upon any of the Borrower’s properties pursuant to the
terms of any such Contractual Obligation, other than this Agreement, or (iii) violate
any Applicable Law applicable to the Borrower, in each case except to the
extent that such conflict, breach, default, creation, imposition, or violation
could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.


 


(f)                                    No
Proceedings.  There is no litigation,
proceeding or investigation pending or, to the best knowledge of the Borrower,
threatened against the Borrower in writing, before any Governmental Authority (i) asserting

Borrower is a party, (ii) seeking to prevent the consummation of any of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document to which the Borrower is a party or (iii) seeking any
determination or ruling that could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect.

orders, licenses or other actions of any Person or of any Governmental
Authority (if any) required to be made or obtained by the Borrower as of the
Closing Date for the due execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of
this Agreement and any other Transaction Document to which the Borrower is a
party have been obtained except to the extent that any such failure to acquire
such approvals, authorizations, consents, orders or licenses, or take such
other actions, could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.


 


(h)                                 Solvency.  The Borrower is not the subject of any
Insolvency Proceedings or Insolvency Event. 
The transactions under this Agreement and any other Transaction Document
to which the Borrower is a party do not and will not render the Borrower not
Solvent.


 


(i)                                     Taxes.  The Borrower has filed or caused to be filed

extensions) and has paid or made adequate provisions for the payment of all
Taxes and all assessments made against it or any of its property (other than (i) any
amount of Tax the validity or amount of which is currently being contested in
good faith by appropriate proceedings and with respect to which reserves in
accordance with GAAP have been provided on the books of the Borrower, (ii) any
Tax less than

Borrower of Section 7 of the Exchange Act, or any regulations issued
pursuant thereto, including, without limitation, Regulations T, U and X of the
Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, 12 C.F.R., Chapter II.  The Borrower does not own or intend to carry

credit” within the meaning of Regulation U.


 


(k)                                  Security
Interest.


 


(i)                                     This
Agreement creates a valid and continuing security interest (as defined in the
applicable UCC) in the Collateral in favor of the Administrative Agent, on
behalf of the Secured Parties, which security interest is prior to all other
Liens (except for Permitted Liens);


 


(ii)                                  the
Receivables and Related Security constitute “instruments”, “general intangibles”,
“tangible chattel paper” or “accounts” (each as defined in the applicable UCC);

(C)                                such
security entitlements are not in the name of any Person other than the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent.  The

securities entitlements to comply with the entitlement order of any Person

Securities Account Control Agreement, the Borrower and the Servicer may cause
cash proceeds of the security entitlements to be invested in Permitted
Investments;

perfected by filing financing statements pursuant to the UCC;

than the security interest granted to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of
the Secured Parties, pursuant to this Agreement, the Borrower has not pledged,
assigned, sold, granted a security interest in or otherwise conveyed any of the
Collateral.  The Borrower has not
authorized the filing of and is not aware of any financing statements against

validly assigned to the Administrative Agent on or prior to the date hereof.  The Borrower is not aware of the filing of
any judgment or tax lien filings against the Borrower;

pledged, assigned or otherwise conveyed to any Person other than the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and other than markings
related to debt paid in full prior to the inclusion of such Receivable in the Collateral;


 


(xi)                                with
respect to Collateral that constitutes a “certificated security,” such

of the Administrative Agent and, if in registered form, has been specially
Indorsed to the Administrative Agent or in blank by an effective Indorsement or
has been registered in the name of the Administrative Agent upon original issue
or registration of transfer by the Borrower of such certificated security.

interest therein to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Secured
Parties pursuant to this Agreement;


 


(v)                                 notifying

or has received notice; and (B) that could reasonably be expected to have
a Material Adverse Effect;


 


(vi)                              providing

any of their duties or responsibilities with respect to the Collateral.  The Secured Parties, the Backup Servicer and
the Collateral Custodian shall not have any obligation or liability with
respect to any Collateral (except as otherwise provided herein in the case of

contract or law and unless otherwise instructed by the Administrative Agent, be
applied as a collection of a payment by such Obligor (starting with the oldest
such outstanding payment due) to the extent of any amounts then due and payable
thereunder before being applied to any other receivable or other obligation of
such Obligor.


 


Section 6.3.                                Authorization
of the Servicer.


 


(a)                                  Each
of the Borrower and the Administrative Agent hereby authorizes the Servicer
(including any successor thereto) to take any and all reasonable steps in the
Borrower’s name and on the Borrower’s behalf necessary or desirable in the
determination of the Servicer and not inconsistent with the pledge by the
Borrower to the Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties,
hereunder, to collect all amounts due under any and all Collateral, including,
without limitation, endorsing any of their names on checks and other
instruments representing Collections, executing and delivering any and all
instruments of satisfaction or cancellation, or of partial or full release or
discharge, and all other comparable instruments, with respect to the Collateral
and, after the delinquency of any Collateral and to the extent permitted under
and in


 


58

















 


compliance with
Applicable Law, to commence proceedings with respect to enforcing payment
thereof.  The Borrower and the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, shall furnish the
Servicer (and any successors thereto) with any powers of attorney and other
documents necessary or appropriate to enable the Servicer to carry out its
servicing and administrative duties hereunder, and shall cooperate with the
Servicer to the fullest extent in order to ensure the collectibility of the
Collateral.  In no event shall the
Servicer be entitled to make the Borrower, any Secured Party, the Backup
Servicer, the Collateral Custodian or the Administrative Agent a party to any
litigation without such party’s express prior written consent, or to make the
Borrower a party to any litigation (other than any routine foreclosure or
similar collection procedure) without the Administrative Agent’s consent.


 


(b)                                 After
the declaration of the Termination Date, at the direction of the Administrative
Agent (with notice to the Borrower), the Servicer shall take such action as the
Administrative Agent may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to enforce
collection of the Collateral; provided that the Administrative Agent may,
at any time that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, notify any
Obligor with respect to any Collateral of the pledge of such Collateral to the
Administrative Agent, on behalf of the Secured Parties, and direct that
payments of all amounts due or to become due be made directly to the
Administrative Agent or any servicer, collection agent or account designated by
the Administrative Agent and, upon such notification and at the expense of the
Borrower, the Administrative Agent may enforce collection of any such
Collateral, and adjust, settle or compromise the amount or payment thereof.


 


Section 6.4.                                          Collection
of Payments; Accounts.


 


(a)                                  Collection
Efforts, Modification of Collateral. 
The Servicer will use commercially reasonable efforts to collect, or
cause to be collected, all payments called for under the terms and provisions
of the Receivables included in the Collateral as and when the same become due
in accordance with the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing
Standard.  The Servicer may not waive,
modify or otherwise vary any provision of an item of Collateral in a manner
that would impair the collectibility of the Collateral or in any manner
contrary to the Credit and Collection Policy and the Servicing Standard.


 


(b)                                 Prepaid
Receivable.  The Servicer may not
consent to a Receivable becoming a Prepaid Receivable, in whole or in part,
unless such prepayment (plus any concurrent deposits made by the Servicer) (i) will
not result in the Collection Account receiving an amount less than the sum of (A) the
Outstanding Receivable Balance (or portion thereof to be prepaid) on the date
of such payment, and (B) any accrued and unpaid interest thereon (such
sum, the “Prepayment Amount”) or (ii) is in compliance with the
Underlying Instruments for the applicable Receivable and such prepayment is
consented to by the Servicer in accordance with the Servicing Standard.


 


(c)                                  Acceleration.  If required by the Credit and Collection
Policy or if consistent with the Servicing Standard and the related Underlying
Instruments, the Servicer shall accelerate the maturity of all or any Scheduled
Payments and other amounts due under any Receivable promptly after such
Receivable becomes a Defaulted Receivable.


 


59

















 


(d)                                 Taxes
and other Amounts.  The Servicer will
use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Servicing Standard
to collect all payments with respect to amounts due for Taxes, assessments and
insurance premiums relating to each Receivable to the extent required to be
paid to the Borrower for such application under the Underlying Instrument and
remit such amounts to the appropriate Governmental Authority or insurer as
required by the Underlying Instruments.


 


(e)                                  Payments
to Lockbox Account.  On or before the
Closing Date, the Servicer shall have instructed all Obligors to make all
payments in respect of the Collateral directly to the applicable Lockbox
Account.


 


(f)                                    Accounts.  Each of the parties hereto hereby agrees that
(i) each Account shall be deemed to be a Securities Account and (ii) except
as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Administrative Agent shall be
exclusively entitled to exercise the rights that comprise each Financial Asset
held in each Account.  Each of the
parties hereto hereby agrees to cause the Collateral Custodian or any other
Securities Intermediary that holds any money or other property for the Borrower
in an Account to agree with the parties hereto that (A) the cash and other
property (subject to Section 6.4(g) below with respect to any
property other than investment property, as defined in Section 9-102(a)(49)
of the UCC) is to be treated as a Financial Asset under Article 8 of the
UCC and (B) the “securities intermediary’s jurisdiction” (within the
meaning of Section 8-110 of the UCC) for that purpose shall be the State
of New York.  In no event may any
Financial Asset held in any Account be registered in the name of, payable to
the order of, or specially Indorsed to, the Borrower, unless such Financial
Asset has also been Indorsed in blank or to the Collateral Custodian or other
Securities Intermediary that holds such Financial Asset in such Account.


 


(g)                                 Underlying
Instruments.  Notwithstanding any
term hereof (or any term of the UCC that might otherwise be construed to be
applicable to a “securities intermediary” as defined in the UCC) to the
contrary, none of the Collateral Custodian nor any Securities Intermediary
shall be under any duty or obligation in connection with the acquisition by the
Borrower of or the grant by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent of a
security interest in any Receivable to examine or evaluate the sufficiency of
the documents or instruments delivered to it by or on behalf of the Borrower
under the related Underlying Instruments, or otherwise to examine the
Underlying Instruments, in order to determine or compel compliance with any
applicable requirements of or restrictions on transfer (including without
limitation any necessary consents).  The
Collateral Custodian shall hold any Instrument delivered to it evidencing any
Receivable hereunder as custodial agent for the Administrative Agent in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(h)                                 Establishment
of the Collection Account.  The
Servicer shall cause to be established, on or before the Closing Date, with the
Collateral Custodian, and maintained in the name of the Borrower, subject to
the Lien of the Administrative Agent, a segregated corporate trust account
entitled “Collection Account for FCC Investment Trust I” (the “Collection
Account”), over which the Administrative Agent as agent for the Secured
Parties, shall have control and from which neither the Servicer nor the
Borrower shall have any right of withdrawal.


 


60

















 


(i)                                     Adjustments.  If (i) the Servicer makes a deposit into
the Collection Account in respect of a Collection of a Receivable and such
Collection was received by the Servicer in the form of a check that is not
honored for any reason or (ii) the Servicer makes a mistake with respect
to the amount of any Collection and deposits an amount that is less than or
more than the actual amount of such Collection, the Servicer shall
appropriately adjust the amount subsequently deposited into the Collection
Account to reflect such dishonored check or mistake.  Any Scheduled Payment in respect of which a
dishonored check is received shall be deemed not to have been paid.


 


Section 6.5.                                          Realization
Upon Defaulted Receivables.


 


The Servicer
will use commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the Credit and
Collection Policy and consistent with the Servicing Standard and Applicable Law
in realizing upon each Defaulted Receivable and Related Security, and employ
practices and procedures including commercially reasonable efforts to enforce
all obligations of Obligors.  Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Servicer may (a) unless the
Administrative Agent has specifically given instruction to the contrary, (i) foreclose
upon any property securing the Defaulted Receivable and cause the sale of any
such property, or (ii) turn the Defaulted Receivable over to a collection
agency for collection, or (b) with the consent of the Borrower (other than
during the existence of any Event of Default), sell the Defaulted Receivable
for its fair market value (as determined by the Servicer in good faith) to an
independent third-party purchaser.  The
Servicer will remit to the Collection Account the Recoveries received in
connection with the sale or disposition of a Defaulted Receivable.

the Servicer in connection with payments pursuant to this Agreement, and all
other fees and expenses not expressly stated under this Agreement for the
account of the Borrower, but excluding Liquidation Expenses incurred as a
result of activities contemplated by Section 6.5.  The initial Servicer shall be required to pay
such expenses for its own account and shall not be entitled to any payment
therefor other than the Servicing Fee. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Backup Servicer is appointed
successor Servicer hereunder, it shall be entitled to reimbursement from the
Borrower for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it in connection
with its servicing activities hereunder.


 


Section 6.8.                                          Reports.


 


(a)                                  Servicing

(b)                                 Servicer’s
Certificate.  Together with each
Servicing Report, the Servicer shall submit to the Administrative Agent and the
Borrower (with a copy to the Backup Servicer and the Collateral Custodian) a
certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit H (a “Servicer’s
Certificate”), signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer, which shall
include a certification by such Responsible Officer that, to its knowledge, no
Event of Default or Unmatured Event of Default has occurred during the period
between the date of such Servicing Report and the date of the prior Servicing
Report.


 


(c)                                  Financial
Statements.  The initial Servicer
will submit to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and the Backup Servicer, (i) within
thirty (30) days after the end of each of its fiscal quarters (excluding the
fiscal quarter ending on the date specified in subclause (ii) below),
commencing November 30, 2008, its consolidated unaudited financial
statements for the most recent fiscal quarter and (ii) within one hundred
twenty (120) days after the end of each fiscal year, commencing with the fiscal

financial statements may be presented as “reviewed” by such independent public
accountants.  Except as otherwise set

information set forth in such financial statements.

report signed by a Responsible Officer of the Servicer certifying that (a) a
review of the activities of the Servicer, and the Servicer’s performance
pursuant to this Agreement, for the fiscal period ending on the last day of

Servicer has performed or has caused to be performed in all material respects
all of its obligations under this Agreement throughout such year and no
Servicer Default has occurred during such period (written notice of which has
not otherwise been delivered to the Administrative Agent and the Borrower) or
then exists at the end of such period.

upon the Servicer’s determination that the performance of its duties hereunder
is or has become illegal under Applicable Law. 
Any such determination permitting the resignation of the Servicer shall
be evidenced by an Opinion of Counsel to such effect addressed and delivered to
the Administrative Agent and the Borrower.

right to contest in good faith any claim which could lead to acceleration and (y) after
all applicable cure and grace periods have expired; or


 


(d)                                 an

Servicer fails in any material respect to comply with the Credit and Collection
Policy and the Servicing Standard regarding the servicing of the Collateral and
the same continues unremedied for a period of ten (10) Business Days (if
such failure can be remedied) after the earlier to occur of (i) the date
on which written notice of such failure requiring the same to be remedied shall
have been given to a Responsible Officer of the Servicer by the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower or any Lender or (ii) the date on which a Responsible
Officer of the Servicer acquires actual knowledge thereof;


 


(f)                                    FCC
Finance, LLC ceases to be the Servicer (other than as provided for under the
terms of this Agreement);


 


(g)                                 the
occurrence or existence of any event which causes a Material Adverse Effect
with respect to the Servicer;


 


63

















 


(h)                                 any
failure by the Servicer to deliver any required Servicing Report or other
Required Reports hereunder and the same continues unremedied for a period of

of the Servicer by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower or Collateral
Custodian, or (ii) the date on which a Responsible Officer of the Servicer
has actual knowledge thereof;


 


(i)                                     any
representation, warranty or certification made by the Servicer in any
Transaction Document or in any certificate delivered pursuant to any
Transaction Document shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect
when made and continues to be unremedied for a period of thirty (30) Business
Days after the earlier to occur of (i) the date on which written notice of
such incorrectness requiring the same to be remedied shall have been given to
the a Responsible Officer of Servicer by the Administrative Agent, the Borrower

(j)                                     the
occurrence of an FCC Finance Change of Control and the Borrower or the
Administrative Agent makes a determination that such event is reasonably expected
to have a material adverse effect on the ability of FCC Finance, LLC, to
perform its role as Servicer hereunder;


 


then
notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Administrative Agent or
the Borrower, by written notice to the Servicer (with a copy to the Collateral
Custodian, Backup Servicer, the Borrower (in the case of notice by the
Administrative Agent) and the Administrative Agent (in the case of notice by
the Borrower)) (a “Servicer Termination Notice”), may terminate all of
the rights and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement
(other than fees or expenses owed to the Servicer which have accrued or been
incurred prior to the delivery of the Servicer Termination Notice) and appoint
the Backup Servicer (or in the case of notice by the Borrower, Fair) to perform
its duties pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.


 


Section 6.13.                                   Appointment
of Successor Servicer.


 


(a)                                  On
and after the receipt by Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable,
the Servicer and the Backup Servicer of a Servicer Termination Notice pursuant
to Section 6.12, the Servicer shall continue to perform all
servicing functions under this Agreement until the date specified in the
Servicer Termination Notice or as otherwise specified by the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, in writing (with a copy to the Borrower
or the Administrative Agent, as applicable) or, if no such date is specified in
such Servicer Termination Notice or otherwise specified by the Administrative
Agent or the Borrower, until a date mutually agreed upon by the Servicer and
the Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, and shall be entitled
to receive, to the extent of funds available therefor pursuant to Section 2.6,
the Servicing Fee therefor until such date; provided that
any fees or expenses owed to the Servicer attributable to the period prior to
such date shall accrue and remain payable. 
The Administrative Agent or the Borrower, as applicable, may at any time
following delivery of a Servicer Termination Notice, by written notice to the
Borrower or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, and the Backup Servicer,
in its sole discretion and subject to clause (h) below, appoint the
Backup Servicer or Fair as the Servicer hereunder, and the Backup Servicer or
Fair,


 


64
















 


as the case may be, shall
on such date assume all obligations of the Servicer hereunder with respect to
servicing of the Collateral, and all authority and power of the Servicer under
this Agreement shall pass to and be vested in the Backup Servicer.  As compensation therefor, the Backup Servicer
or Fair, as the case may be, shall thereafter be entitled to the Servicing Fee
together with any other rights to reimbursement to which the Servicer is
entitled as specified herein, Transition Expenses and, solely in the case of
the Backup Servicer, the one-time successor servicer fee specified in the
Backup Servicing Fee Letter.  In the
event that the Administrative Agent does not so appoint the Backup Servicer
(which it may or may not do in its discretion), there is no Backup Servicer or
the Backup Servicer is unable to assume such obligations on such date, or the
Borrower does not so appoint Fair (which it may or may not do in its
discretion), or the Fair Servicing Condition is not satisfied, the
Administrative Agent shall as promptly as possible appoint a successor servicer
(the “Successor Servicer”), and such Successor Servicer shall accept its
appointment by a written assumption in a form acceptable to the Administrative
Agent and each Lender; provided that
if a Servicer Default occurs and the Servicer is not an Affiliate of the
Borrower then the Borrower shall appoint the Successor Servicer with the
written consent of the Administrative Agent (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld).  In the event
that a Successor Servicer has not accepted its appointment at the time when the
Servicer ceases to act as Servicer, the Administrative Agent may petition a
court of competent jurisdiction to appoint any established financial
institution, having a net worth of not less than $50,000,000 and whose regular
business includes the servicing of loans, as the Successor Servicer hereunder.


 


(b)                                 The
Backup Servicer as successor Servicer undertakes to perform only such duties
and obligations as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, it being
expressly understood by all parties hereto that there are no implied duties or
obligations of a successor Servicer hereunder.


 


(c)                                  The
Servicer agrees to cooperate and use commercially reasonable efforts in
effecting the transition of the responsibilities and rights of servicing of the
Receivables, including, without limitation, the transfer to the Backup Servicer
as successor Servicer for the administration by it of all cash amounts that
shall at the time be held by Servicer for deposit, or have been deposited by
the Servicer, or thereafter received with respect to the Receivables and the
delivery to the Backup Servicer as successor Servicer in an orderly and timely
fashion of all files and records with respect to the Receivables and a computer
tape in readable form containing all information necessary to enable the Backup
Servicer as successor Servicer to service the Receivables.  In addition, the Servicer agrees to cooperate
and use commercially reasonable efforts in providing at the Servicer’s expense
to the Backup Servicer, as successor Servicer, with a list of key servicing
personnel and contact information, reasonable access (including at the premises
of the Servicer) to the Servicer’s employees, and any and all of the books,
records (in electronic or other form) or other information reasonably requested
by it to enable the Backup Servicer, as a successor Servicer, to assume the
servicing functions hereunder.


 


(d)                                 The
Backup Servicer as a successor Servicer is authorized and empowered to execute
and deliver, on behalf of the Servicer as attorney-in-fact or otherwise, any
and all documents and other instruments, and to do so or accomplish all other
acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of such notice
of termination or to perform the duties of the


 


65

















 


Servicer.  The Servicer will provide the Backup
Servicer, as successor Servicer, with a power of attorney stating such (at such
time as the Backup Servicer becomes successor Servicer).


 


(e)                                  Upon
its appointment, the Backup Servicer (subject to Section 6.13(a))
or the Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall be the successor in all
respects to the Servicer with respect to servicing functions under this
Agreement and shall be subject to all the responsibilities, duties and
liabilities relating thereto placed on the Servicer by the terms and provisions
hereof, and all references in this Agreement to the Servicer shall be deemed to
refer to the Backup Servicer or the Successor Servicer, as applicable; provided that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable,
shall have (i) no liability with respect to any action performed by the
terminated Servicer prior to the date that the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer,
as applicable, becomes the successor to the Servicer or any claim of a third
party based on any alleged action or inaction of the terminated Servicer, (ii) no
obligation to perform any repurchase or advancing obligations, if any, of the
Servicer unless it elects to in its sole discretion, (iii) no obligation
to pay any taxes required to be paid by the Servicer (provided that the Backup
Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable, shall pay any income taxes for
which it is liable), (iv) no obligation to pay any of the fees and
expenses of any other party to the transactions contemplated hereby, (v) no
liability or obligation with respect to any indemnification obligations of any
prior Servicer, (vi) no obligation to make payments with respect to any
losses on investments made by or at the direction of the Servicer, (vii) no
obligation to take any legal action which the Backup Servicer in its reasonable
opinion believes subjects it to any liability in connection with such legal
action unless it shall have been assured to its reasonable satisfaction that it
will be indemnified for such liabilities, and (viii) no liability with
respect to any action performed, or breaches or defaults caused by any prior
Servicer prior to its appointment, or any claim of a third party based on any
alleged action of any prior Servicer. 
The indemnification obligations of the Backup Servicer or the Successor
Servicer, as applicable, upon becoming a successor Servicer, are expressly limited
to those arising on account of its failure to act in good faith and with
reasonable care under the circumstances. 
In addition, the Backup Servicer or Successor Servicer, as applicable,
shall have no liability relating to the representations and warranties of the
initial Servicer contained in Article IV.  In no event shall the Backup Servicer or the
Successor Servicer be liable for any indirect, special or consequential damages
(including lost profits) whether or not it has been advised of the likelihood
of such damages.


 


(f)                                    Upon
the Backup Servicer receiving notice that it is required to serve as the
Servicer hereunder pursuant to the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.13,
the Backup Servicer will promptly begin the transition to its role as
Servicer.  In the event the Backup
Servicer declines to continue to act as Servicer hereunder, the Backup Servicer
shall solicit, by public announcement, bids from banks, specialty finance
companies, asset managers and servicing institutions meeting the qualifications
set forth in Section 6.13(a). 
Such public announcement shall specify that the Successor Servicer shall
be entitled to the full amount of the Servicing Fee as servicing
compensation.  Within thirty (30) days
after any such public announcement, the Backup Servicer shall negotiate and effect
the sale, transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
hereunder to a qualified party acceptable to the Administrative Agent
submitting a qualifying bid.  The Backup
Servicer shall deduct from any sum received by the Backup Servicer from the
successor to the Servicer in respect of such sale, transfer and assignment, all
costs and expenses of any public announcement, of conducting such


 


66

















 


sale and of any sale,
transfer and assignment of the servicing rights and responsibilities
hereunder.  After such deductions, the
remainder of such sum shall be paid by the Backup Servicer to the Servicer at
the time of such sale, transfer and assignment to the Servicer’s
successor.  If no bid from a qualified
potential Successor Servicer is received or if no sale, transfer and assignment
of the servicing rights and responsibilities hereunder shall have been
concluded within thirty (30) days after such public announcement, the Backup
Servicer may, in its discretion, appoint, or petition a court of competent
jurisdiction to appoint, any established financial institution as the successor
to the Servicer hereunder in the assumption of all or any part of the
responsibilities, duties or liabilities of the Servicer hereunder. As
compensation, any Successor Servicer (including, without limitation, the
Administrative Agent) so appointed shall be entitled to receive the Servicing
Fee, including, without limitation, Transition Expenses.  The Backup Servicer and such successor shall
take such action, consistent with this Agreement, as shall be necessary to
effectuate any such succession.  No
appointment of a successor to the Servicer hereunder shall be effective until
written notice of such proposed appointment shall have been provided by the
Backup Servicer to the Borrower, the Administrative Agent and each Lender and
the Backup Servicer shall have consented thereto.  The Backup Servicer shall not resign as
Servicer until a Successor Servicer has been appointed and accepted such
appointment.  Notwithstanding anything to
the contrary contained herein, in no event shall the Backup Servicer or
Successor Servicer be liable for any Servicing Fee or for any differential in
the amount of the Servicing Fee paid hereunder and the amount necessary to
induce any Successor Servicer under this Agreement and the transactions set
forth or provided for by this Agreement.


 


(g)                                 Notwithstanding
anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, any successor Servicer is
authorized to accept and rely on all of the accounting, records (including
computer records) and work of the prior Servicer relating to the Receivables
(collectively, the “Predecessor Servicer Work Product”) without any
audit or other examination thereof, and such successor Servicer shall have no
duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for the acts and omissions of the
prior Servicer.  If any error,
inaccuracy, omission or incorrect or non-standard practice or procedure (collectively,
“Errors”) exists in any Predecessor Servicer Work Product and such
Errors make it materially more difficult to service or should cause or
materially contribute to the successor Servicer making or continuing any Errors
(collectively, “Continued Errors”), such successor Servicer shall have
no duty, responsibility, obligation or liability for such Continued Errors; provided that such successor Servicer agrees to use
commercially reasonable efforts to prevent further Continued Errors.  In the event that the successor Servicer
becomes aware of Errors or Continued Errors, it shall, with the prior consent
of the Borrower or the Administrative Agent, use commercially reasonable
efforts to reconstruct and reconcile such data as is commercially reasonable to
correct such Errors and Continued Errors and to prevent future Continued
Errors.  Such successor Servicer shall be
entitled to recover its costs thereby expended in accordance with Section 2.6.


 


(h)                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Section 6.13, promptly following delivery of a Servicer
Termination Notice but prior to the appointment of the Backup Servicer as
successor Servicer or any other Person as Successor Servicer pursuant to clause
(a) above, the Administrative Agent shall notify Fair of such receipt,
and, if the Fair Servicing Condition is satisfied, Fair may elect to be
appointed as Successor Servicer hereunder by written notice to the
Administrative Agent to such effect within two (2) Business Days of
receipt of such Servicer Termination Notice.

(i)                                     At any time prior to the occurrence of the
Termination Date, upon 90 days’ prior written notice to the Administrative
Agent, the Borrower, the Servicer and the Backup Servicer, if the Fair
Servicing Condition is satisfied, CLST may terminate all of the rights
and obligations of the Servicer as Servicer under this Agreement (other than
fees or expenses owed to the Servicer which have accrued or been incurred prior
to the delivery of such notice) and appoint itself as successor Servicer
hereunder.

SECURITY INTEREST


 


Section 9.1.                                          Grant
of Security Interest.


 


This Agreement
constitutes a security agreement and the transactions effected hereby
constitute secured loans by the Lenders to the Borrower under Applicable
Law.  For such purpose, the Borrower
hereby transfers, conveys, assigns and grants as of the Closing Date to the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, a lien and continuing
security interest in all of the Borrower’s right, title and interest in, to and
under (but none of the obligations under) all Collateral and all cash, loans,
securities (whether or not marketable), liquidation proceeds of repossessed
assets, accounts, insurance policies (including any life insurance or
disability insurance policies maintained by obligors) and proceeds thereon,
contract rights, amounts or funds in escrow and accounts thereto, chattel
paper, financial assets, investment property, instruments, general intangibles,
payment intangibles, accounts, deposit accounts, money, documents, agreements,
investments and all other property and assets of any type or nature in which
the Borrower has an interest, whether now existing or hereafter arising or
acquired by the Borrower, and wherever the same may be located, to secure the
prompt and complete payment and performance in full when due, whether by lapse
of time, acceleration or otherwise, of all Aggregate Unpaids arising in
connection with this Agreement and each other Transaction Document, whether now
or hereafter existing, due or to become due, direct or indirect, or absolute or
contingent.  The grant of a security
interest under this Section 9.1 does not constitute and is not
intended to result in a creation or an assumption by any of the Secured Parties
of any obligation of the Borrower or any other Person in connection with any or
all of the Collateral or under any agreement or instrument relating
thereto.  Anything herein to the contrary
notwithstanding, (a) the Borrower shall remain liable under the Collateral
to the extent set forth therein to perform all of its duties and obligations
thereunder to the same extent as if this Agreement had not been executed, (b) the
exercise by the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, of any
of its rights in the Collateral shall not release the Borrower from any of its
duties or obligations under the Collateral, and (c) no Secured Party shall
have any obligations or liability under the Collateral by reason of this
Agreement, nor shall any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the
obligations or duties of the Borrower thereunder or to take any action to
collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder. The Borrower
hereby authorizes Mayer Brown LLP to file, on behalf of the Administrative
Agent, a “Record” or “Records” (as such term is defined in the applicable UCC),
including financing or continuation statements, and amendments thereto, in all
jurisdictions and with all filing offices as the Administrative Agent may
determine, in its sole discretion, are necessary or advisable to perfect the
security interests granted to the Administrative Agent in connection herewith.  Such financing statements may describe the
collateral in the same manner as described herein or in any security agreement
or pledge agreement entered into by the parties in connection herewith or may
contain an indication or description of collateral that describes such property
in any other manner as the Administrative Agent may determine, in its sole
discretion, is necessary, advisable or prudent to ensure the perfection of the
security interests in the Collateral granted to the Administrative Agent in connection
herewith, including describing such property as “all assets” or “all personal
property.”

Section 9.2.                                          Release

On the date (a) any
Receivable expires by its terms and all amounts in respect thereof have been
paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection Account, (b) any
Receivable becomes a Prepaid Receivable and all amounts in respect thereof have
been paid in full by the related Obligor and deposited in the Collection
Account, (c) any Receivable is purchased by Drawbridge Special
Opportunities Fund LP pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, or (d) this
Agreement terminates in accordance with Section 13.6, the
Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties, shall automatically and
without further action be deemed to transfer, assign and set-over to the
Borrower, without recourse, representation or warranty, all the right, title
and interest of the Administrative Agent, as agent for the Secured Parties in,
to and under such Receivable (or all Receivables in the case of clause (d) above),
all related Collateral and all future monies due or to become due with respect
thereto.  The Administrative Agent, as
agent for the Secured Parties, shall, at the sole expense of the Borrower, (i) execute
such instruments of release in favor of the Borrower with respect to the
portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien of this Agreement as the
Borrower may reasonably request (in recordable form if necessary), (ii) deliver
any portion of the Collateral to be released from the Lien of this Agreement in
its possession to the Borrower and (iii) otherwise take such actions, and
cause or permit the Collateral Custodian to take such actions, as are necessary
and appropriate to release the Lien of the Administrative Agent and the Secured
Parties on the portion of the Collateral to be released and deliver to the
Borrower such portion of the Collateral to be released to the Borrower.


 


Section 9.3.                                          Further
Assurances.


 


The provisions
of Section 13.12 shall apply to the security interest granted under
Section 9.1 as well as to the Loan hereunder.


 


Section 9.4.                                          Remedies.


 


Subject to the

an Event of Default, the Administrative Agent shall have, with respect to the
Collateral granted pursuant to Section 9.1, and in addition to all
other rights and remedies available to the Administrative Agent and the other
Secured Parties under this Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and
remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC.


 


Section 9.5.                                          Waiver
of Certain Laws.


 


The Borrower
and the Servicer each agree, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree,
that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or
seek to take advantage of any appraisal, valuation, stay, extension or
redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any Collateral
may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure
of this Agreement or any Transaction Document, or the absolute sale of any of
the Collateral or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into
possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchasers thereof, and
each of the Borrower and the Servicer, for itself and all who may at any time
claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be
lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to 


 


78

















 


have any of the properties or assets constituting the Collateral
marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that the Administrative Agent or any
court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this
Agreement may sell the Collateral as an entirety or in such parcels as the
Administrative Agent or such court may determine.


 


Section 9.6.                                          Power
of Attorney.


 


Each of the
Borrower and the initial Servicer hereby irrevocably appoints the
Administrative Agent to act upon and during the continuance of an Event of
Default as its true and lawful attorney (with full power of substitution) in
its name, place and stead and at its expense, in connection with the
enforcement of the rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement, in each
case to the extent so permitted hereunder, including without limitation the
following powers: (a) to give any necessary receipts or acquittance for
amounts collected or received hereunder, (b) to make all necessary
transfers of the Collateral in connection with any sale or other disposition
made pursuant to Section 9.4, (c) to execute and deliver for
value all necessary or appropriate bills of sale, assignments and other
instruments in connection with any such sale or other disposition and (d) to
sign any agreements, orders or other documents in connection with or pursuant
to any Transaction Document, the Borrower and the initial Servicer (as the case
may be) hereby ratifying and confirming all that such attorney (or any
substitute) shall lawfully do hereunder and pursuant hereto.  Nevertheless, if so requested by the
Administrative Agent, the Borrower shall ratify and confirm any such sale or
other disposition by executing and delivering to the Administrative Agent or
such purchaser all proper bills of sale, assignments, releases and other
instruments as may be designated in any such request.

such Secured Party believes in good faith is required to be repaid;


 


(xiii)                          except
for as provided in this Agreement, the commingling of Collections by the

(c)                                  If
for any reason the indemnification provided above in this Section 11.1
is unavailable to the Indemnified Party or is insufficient to hold an
Indemnified Party harmless, then the Borrower shall contribute to the amount
paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such loss, claim,
damage or liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only
the relative benefits received by such Indemnified Party on the one hand and
the Borrower on the other hand but also the relative fault of such Indemnified
Party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.


 


(d)                                 The
obligations of the Borrower under this Section 11.1 shall survive

liabilities and related costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’
fees and disbursements arising out of or in connection with credit losses with
respect to any of the Receivables or any Related Security or the diminution in
market value of the Collateral.

Party hereby agrees to promptly reimburse the Borrower for such reimbursed
amounts.

made by the Servicer under or in connection with any Transaction Document, any

85

















 


(c)                                  The
obligations of the Servicer under this Section 11.2 shall survive

ARTICLE XII


 


THE ADMINISTRATIVE AGENT


 


Section 12.1.                                   The
Administrative Agent.


 


(a)                                  Appointment.  Each Secured Party hereby appoints and
authorizes the Administrative Agent as its agent and bailee for purposes of
perfection pursuant to the applicable UCC and hereby further authorizes the
Administrative Agent to appoint additional agents and bailees to act on its
behalf and for the benefit of each Secured Party.  Each Secured Party further authorizes the
Administrative Agent to take such action as agent on its behalf and to exercise
such powers under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as are
delegated to the Administrative Agent by the terms hereof and thereof, together
with such powers as are reasonably incidental thereto.  In furtherance, and without limiting the
generality, of the foregoing, each Secured Party hereby appoints the
Administrative Agent as its agent to execute and deliver all further
instruments and documents, and take all further action that the Administrative Agent
may deem necessary or appropriate or that a Secured Party may reasonably
request in order to perfect, protect or more fully evidence the security
interests granted by the Borrower hereunder, or to enable any of them to
exercise or enforce any of their respective rights hereunder, including,
without limitation, the execution by the Administrative Agent as secured
party/assignee of such financing or continuation statements, or amendments
thereto or assignments thereof, relative to all or any of the Collateral now
existing or hereafter arising, and such other instruments or notices, as may be
necessary or appropriate for the purposes stated hereinabove.  The Lenders may direct the Administrative
Agent to take any such incidental action hereunder.  With respect to other actions which are
incidental to the actions specifically delegated to the Administrative Agent
hereunder, the Administrative Agent shall not be required to take any such
incidental action hereunder, but shall be required to act or to refrain from
acting (and shall be fully protected in acting or refraining from acting) upon
the direction of the Required Lenders; provided that the Administrative Agent shall
not be required to take any 


 


86

















 


action hereunder if the
taking of such action, in the reasonable determination of the Administrative
Agent, shall be in violation of any Applicable Law or contrary to any provision
of this Agreement or shall expose the Administrative Agent to liability hereunder
or otherwise.  In the event the
Administrative Agent requests the consent of a Lender pursuant to the foregoing
provisions and the Administrative Agent does not receive a consent (either
positive or negative) from such Person within ten Business Days of such Person’s
receipt of such request, then such Lender shall be deemed to have declined to
consent to the relevant action.


 


(b)                                 Standard
of Care.  The Administrative Agent
shall exercise such rights and powers vested in it by this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents, and use the same degree of care and skill in its
exercise as a prudent person would exercise or use under the circumstances in
the conduct of such person’s own affairs.


 


(c)                                  Administrative Agent’s Reliance, Etc.  With
respect to the Lenders, neither the Administrative Agent nor any of its
directors, officers, agents or employees shall be liable to any Lender for any
action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them as Administrative Agent under
or in connection with this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents,
except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without
limiting the foregoing, the Administrative Agent:  (i) may consult with legal counsel
(including counsel for the Borrower or the Servicer), independent public
accountants and other experts selected by it and shall not be liable for any
action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith by it in accordance with the
advice of such counsel, accountants or experts; (ii) makes no warranty or
representation and shall not be responsible to any Lender for any statements,
warranties or representations made in or in connection with this Agreement; (iii) shall
not have any duty to any Lender to ascertain or to inquire as to the
performance or observance of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this
Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents on the part of the Borrower
or the Servicer or to inspect the property (including the books and records) of
the Borrower or the Servicer; (iv) shall not be responsible to any Lender
for the due execution, legality, validity, enforceability, genuineness,
sufficiency or value of this Agreement, any of the other Transaction Documents
or any other instrument or document furnished pursuant hereto or thereto; and (v) shall
incur no liability to any Lender under or in respect of this Agreement or any
of the other Transaction Documents by acting upon any notice (including notice
by telephone), consent, certificate or other instrument or writing (which may
be by facsimile) believed by it to be genuine and signed or sent by the proper
party or parties.


 


(d)                                 Credit
Decision with Respect to the Administrative Agent.  Each Secured Party acknowledges that it has,
independently and without reliance upon the Administrative Agent, or any of the
Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and based upon such documents and
information as it has deemed appropriate, made its own evaluation and decision
to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is
a party.  Each Secured Party also
acknowledges that it will, independently and without reliance upon the
Administrative Agent, or any of the Administrative Agent’s Affiliates, and
based on such documents and information as it shall deem appropriate at the
time, continue to make its own decisions in taking or not taking action under
this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party.


 


(e)                                  Indemnification
of the Administrative Agent.  Each
Lender agrees to indemnify the Administrative Agent (to the extent not
reimbursed by the Borrower or the initial 


 


87

















 


Servicer), ratably in
accordance with its Pro Rata Share from and against any and all liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever which may be imposed
on, incurred by, or asserted against the Administrative Agent in any way
relating to or arising out of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction
Documents, or any action taken or omitted by the Administrative Agent hereunder
or thereunder; provided that the Lenders shall
not be liable for any portion of such liabilities, obligations, losses,
damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements
resulting from the Administrative Agent’s gross negligence or willful
misconduct. Without limitation of the foregoing, each Lender agrees to
reimburse the Administrative Agent, ratably in accordance with its Pro Rata
Share, promptly upon demand for any out-of-pocket expenses (including counsel
fees) incurred by the Administrative Agent in connection with the
administration, modification, amendment or enforcement (whether through
negotiations, legal proceedings or otherwise) of, or legal advice in respect of
rights or responsibilities under, this Agreement and the other Transaction
Documents, to the extent that such expenses are incurred in the interests of or
otherwise in respect of the Lenders hereunder and/or thereunder and to the
extent that the Administrative Agent is not reimbursed for such expenses by the
Borrower or the Servicer.


 


(f)                                    Successor
Administrative Agent.  The
Administrative Agent may resign at any time, effective upon the appointment and
acceptance of a successor Administrative Agent as provided below, by giving at
least ten (10) Business Days written notice thereof to each Lender and the
Borrower and may be removed at any time with cause by the Lenders acting
jointly.  Upon any such resignation or
removal, the Lenders acting jointly shall appoint a successor Administrative
Agent reasonably acceptable to the Borrower. 
Each Lender agrees that it shall not unreasonably withhold or delay its
approval of the appointment of a successor Administrative Agent.  If no such successor Administrative Agent
shall have been so appointed, and shall have accepted such appointment, within
30 days after the retiring Administrative Agent’s giving of notice of
resignation or the removal of the retiring Administrative Agent, then the retiring
Administrative Agent may, on behalf of the Secured Parties, appoint a successor
Administrative Agent which successor Administrative Agent shall be either (i) a
commercial bank or other financial institution organized under the laws of the
United States or of any state thereof and have a combined capital and surplus
of at least $250,000,000 or (ii) an Affiliate of such a bank or financial
institution.  Upon the acceptance of any
appointment as Administrative Agent hereunder by a successor Administrative
Agent, such successor Administrative Agent shall thereupon succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the
retiring Administrative Agent, and the retiring Administrative Agent shall be
discharged from its duties and obligations under this Agreement.  After any retiring Administrative Agent’s
resignation or removal hereunder as Administrative Agent, the provisions of
this Article XII shall continue to inure to its benefit as to any
actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Administrative Agent
under this Agreement.


 


(g)                                 Payments
by the Administrative Agent.  Unless
specifically allocated to a specific Lender pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, all amounts received by the Administrative Agent on behalf of the
Lenders shall be paid by the Administrative Agent to the Lenders in accordance
with their related Pro Rata Shares, on the Business Day received by the
Administrative Agent, unless such amounts are received after 12:00 noon on such
Business Day, in which case the Administrative Agent shall use its reasonable
efforts to pay such amounts to 


 


88

















 


each Lender on such
Business Day, but, in any event, shall pay such amounts to such Lenders not
later than the following Business Day.

as agent for the Secured Parties, to the Collateral to be promptly recorded,
registered and filed, and at all times to be kept recorded, registered and
filed, all in such manner and in such places as may be required by law fully to
preserve and protect the first priority security interest (subject to Permitted
Liens) of the Administrative Agent, as agent the Secured Parties, hereunder to
all property comprising the Collateral. 
The Servicer shall deliver to the Administrative Agent and the
Collateral Custodian file-stamped copies of, or filing receipts for, any
document recorded, registered or filed as 


 


92

















 


provided above and in the
possession of the Servicer, as soon as available following such recording,
registration or filing.  The Borrower
shall cooperate fully with the Servicer in connection with the obligations set
forth above and will execute any and all documents reasonably required to
fulfill the intent of this Section 13.12(a).


 


(b)                                 The
Borrower agrees that from time to time, at its expense, it will promptly
authorize, execute and deliver all instruments and documents, and take all
actions, that the Administrative Agent may reasonably request in order to
perfect, protect or more fully evidence the Loan hereunder and the first
priority perfected security interest (subject to Permitted Liens) granted in
the Collateral, or to enable the Administrative Agent or the Secured Parties to
exercise and enforce their rights and remedies hereunder or under any other
Transaction Document.


 


(c)                                  If
the Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder
with respect to the maintenance of the Administrative Agent’s first priority
perfected security interest in the Collateral (subject to Permitted Liens), the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to)
perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s
or such Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable by the Borrower.  If the
Borrower or the Servicer fails to perform any of its other obligations
hereunder for 10 days following receipt of notice from any Secured Party, the
Administrative Agent or any Secured Party may (but shall not be required to)
perform, or cause performance of, such obligation; and the Administrative Agent’s
or such Secured Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection therewith
shall be payable by the Borrower or the initial Servicer, as applicable.  The Borrower irrevocably authorizes the
Administrative Agent and appoints the Administrative Agent as its
attorney-in-fact to act on behalf of the Borrower (i) to execute on behalf
of the Borrower as debtor and to file financing statements necessary or
desirable in the Administrative Agent’s sole discretion to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority 
(subject to Permitted Liens) of the interest of the Secured Parties in
the Collateral, including those that describe the Collateral as “all assets,”
or words of similar effect, and (ii) to file a carbon, photographic or
other reproduction of this Agreement or any financing statement with respect to
the Collateral as a financing statement in such offices as the Administrative
Agent in its sole discretion deems necessary or desirable to perfect and to
maintain the perfection and priority (subject to Permitted Liens) of the
interests of the Secured Parties in the Collateral.  This appointment is coupled with an interest
and is irrevocable.


 


Section 13.13.                            Confidentiality.


 


(a)                                  Each
of the Secured Parties, the Servicer, the Collateral Custodian, the Backup

and officers to maintain the confidentiality of the Agreement and all

contemplated herein, except that each such party and its directors, officers
and employees may (i) disclose such information to its external
accountants, attorneys, investors, potential investors, credit enhancers and
the agents and advisors of such Persons (“Excepted Persons”); provided that each Excepted Person shall be notified of the
confidentiality restrictions hereof and shall, as a condition to any such
disclosure, agree for the benefit of the parties hereto that such

information shall be used
solely in connection with such Excepted Person’s evaluation of, or relationship

which such confidential information related.


 


(b)                                 Anything
herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the parties hereto hereby
consents to the disclosure of any nonpublic information with respect to it (i) to

other, (ii) by the Collateral Custodian, the Backup Servicer and the
Secured Parties to any prospective or actual assignee or participant of any of
them, or (iii) by the Secured Parties to any Rating Agency, any provider
of a surety, guaranty or credit enhancement to any Lender or any Person
providing financing to, or holding equity interests in, any Lender, as
applicable, and to any officers, directors, employees, outside accountants,
advisors and attorneys of any of the foregoing, provided each such Person in
the case of subclauses (ii) and (iii) is informed of
the confidential nature of such information.


 


(c)                                  Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, the foregoing shall not be construed to
prohibit (i) disclosure of any and all information that is or becomes
publicly known (other than through the violation of this Agreement), (ii) disclosure
of any and all information (A) if required to do so by any applicable
statute, law, rule or regulation, (B) to any government agency or
regulatory body having or claiming authority to regulate or oversee the disclosing
entity or its affiliates, or (C) pursuant to any subpoena, civil
investigative demand or similar demand or request of any court, regulatory
authority, arbitrator or arbitration to which the disclosing entity or an
officer, director, employer, shareholder or affiliate of any of the foregoing
is a party (so long as the disclosing Person provides prompt notice thereof to
the applicable party with respect to which such information relates), or (iii) any
other disclosure authorized by any Borrower or the Servicer in the case of
information with respect to it.

in Counterparts; Severability; Integration.


 


This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto
in separate counterparts (including by facsimile), each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and all of which when taken together

invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality
and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such
provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.  This
Agreement and any agreements or letters


 


94
















 


(including fee letters) executed in connection herewith contain the

with respect to the subject matter hereof and shall constitute the entire
agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof,
superseding all prior oral or written understandings.


 


Section 13.15.                            Waiver
of Setoff.


 


Each of the
parties hereto hereby waives any right of setoff it may have or to which it may

assets.


 


Section 13.16.                            Assignments
by the Lenders.


 


With the prior
written consent of the Borrower (which consent will not be unreasonably
withheld), any Lender may at any time assign, or grant a security interest or
sell a participation interest in, its rights in the Loan (or portion thereof)
to any Person; provided that (a) no such
consent of the Borrower shall be required during the existence of an Event of
Default, (b) in the case of an assignment of the Loan with respect to such
Lender, the assignee shall execute and deliver to the Borrower, the Servicer
and the Administrative Agent a Joinder Supplement substantially in the form of Exhibit I
hereto, and (c) no Lender shall need prior consent to at any time assign,
or grant a security interest or sell a participation interest in, the Loan (or
portion thereof) to an Affiliate or an Approved Fund.  The parties to any such assignment or sale of
a participation interest by a Lender shall execute and deliver to the
Administrative Agent, for its acceptance and recording in its books and
records, such agreement or document as may be satisfactory to such parties and
the Administrative Agent.  Neither the
Borrower nor the Servicer shall assign or delegate, or grant any interest in,
any of its rights, obligations or duties under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of the Administrative Agent.


 


Section 13.17.                            Heading

To Credit
Agreement


 


FORM OF NOTE


 


	
  $34,891,977.97

  	
  November 10, 2008

  



 


THIS NOTE (THE “NOTE”) HAS NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “SECURITIES ACT”). NEITHER THIS NOTE NOR ANY
PORTION HEREOF MAY BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE
REGISTRATION PROVISIONS OF THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE
EXEMPTION FROM SUCH REGISTRATION PROVISIONS.


 


THIS NOTE IS NOT PERMITTED TO BE TRANSFERRED,
ASSIGNED, EXCHANGED OR OTHERWISE PLEDGED OR CONVEYED EXCEPT IN COMPLIANCE WITH
THE TERMS OF THE CREDIT AGREEMENT REFERRED TO HEREIN.


 


FOR VALUE RECEIVED, FCC Investment Trust I, a Delaware
statutory trust (the “Borrower”), promises to pay to Fortress Credit Co LLC, as
the administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”), on behalf of the
Lenders, or their respective assigns, the principal sum of THIRTY FOUR MILLION,
EIGHT HUNDRED NINETY-ONE THOUSAND, NINE HUNDRED SEVENTY-SEVEN DOLLARS AND
NINETY-SEVEN CENTS ($34,891,977.97) (the “Loan”) made by the Lenders to the
Borrower pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined below), as set forth on
the attached Schedule, on the dates specified in the Credit Agreement, and to
pay interest on the unpaid principal amount of the Loan on each day that such
unpaid principal amount is outstanding, at the Interest Rate related to such
Loan as provided in the Credit Agreement, on each Payment Date and each other
date specified in the Credit Agreement.


 


This Note is issued pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
dated as of November 10, 2008 (as amended, modified, supplemented or
restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among FCC Finance,
LLC, as the servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), the Borrower, Fortress
Credit Co LLC, as a Lender and as the Administrative Agent, Lyon Financial
Services, Inc. (d/b/a U.S. Bank Portfolio Services), as the backup
servicer (in such capacity, the “Backup Servicer”) and U.S. Bank National
Association, as the collateral custodian (in such capacity, the “Collateral
Custodian”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the
meanings provided in the Credit Agreement.


 


Notwithstanding any other provisions contained in this
Note, if at any time the rate of interest payable by the Borrower under this
Note, when combined with any and all other charges provided for in this Note,
in the Credit Agreement or in any other document (to the extent such other
charges would constitute interest for the purpose of any applicable law
limiting interest that may be charged on this Note), exceeds the highest rate
of interest permissible under applicable law (the “Maximum Lawful Rate”), then
so long as the Maximum Lawful Rate would be exceeded, the rate of interest
under this Note shall be equal to the Maximum Lawful Rate. If at any time
thereafter the rate of interest payable under this Note is less than the
Maximum Lawful Rate, the Borrower shall continue to pay interest under this
Note at the Maximum Lawful Rate until such time as the total interest paid by
the Borrower is equal to the total interest that would


 

















 


have been paid had
Applicable Law not limited the interest rate payable under this Note. In no
event shall the total interest received by the Lenders under this Note exceed
the amount which the Lenders could lawfully have received had the interest due
under this Note been calculated since the date of this Note at the Maximum
Lawful Rate.


 


Payments of the principal of, and interest on, the
Loan represented by this Note shall be made by or on behalf of the Borrower to
the holder hereof by wire transfer of immediately available funds in the manner
and at the address specified for such purpose as provided in the Credit
Agreement, or in such manner or at such other address as the holder of this
Note shall have specified in writing to the Borrower for such purpose, without
the presentation or surrender of this Note or the making of any notation on
this Note.


 


If any payment under this Note falls due on a day that
is not a Business Day, then such due date shall be extended to the next
succeeding Business Day and interest shall be payable on any principal so
extended at the applicable Interest Rate.


 


On or after the declaration or occurrence of the
Termination Date, all amounts due under the Credit Agreement shall bear
interest at a rate per annum that is equal to the Default Rate, in each case
from the date of such non-payment to (but excluding) the date such amount is
paid in full.


 


Except as provided in the Credit Agreement, the
Borrower expressly waives presentment, demand, diligence, protest and all
notices of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Note.


 


All amounts evidenced by this Note, the Lenders’ Loan
and all payments of the principal hereof and the respective dates and maturity
dates thereof shall be endorsed by the Administrative Agent, on the schedule
attached hereto and made a part hereof or on a continuation thereof, which
shall be attached hereto and made a part hereof; provided, however, that the
failure of the Administrative Agent to make such a notation shall not in any

proceeding described above and, in connection therewith, give such discharges
or releases as Attorney may deem appropriate; (d) file or prosecute any

absolute owner of the Collateral for all purposes, and to do, at Attorney’s
option and the Borrower’s expense, at any time or from time to time, all acts
and other things that Attorney reasonably deems necessary to perfect, preserve
or realize upon the Collateral and the Liens of the Administrative Agent as

Section 1 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY


 


FCC Finance LLC (hereafter “FCC” or “the Company”) sources
loans originated by home improvement contractors throughout the United States.
It is the policy of FCC to source loans in compliance with all applicable
local, state and federal laws as may be in force or adopted. Acquisitions are
also compliant with company underwriting guidelines as adopted or amended by
management. The company is currently purchasing both secured and unsecured
loans in thirty-five (35) states and on an unsecured program in five (5) states.


 


Loans sourced are serviced on behalf of FCC Investment
Trust IV. The policies and procedures contained herein are adopted or amended
by Senior Management to create a sound business environment and manage risk
when processing, sourcing and servicing loan portfolios.


 


Management has been successful in implementing a
“Proof, Check, and Balance” system whereby workflow passes and returns between
departments continuously to improve quality control and better utilize
personnel. All policies and procedures must be met before a loan is sourced
inclusive of a tape-recorded interview with the borrower prior to any
contractor check disbursement.


 


FCC Finance LLC takes a firm position to insure that
all employees of the company are committed to the highest standards of
professionalism and work ethics. Contractors are thoroughly investigated prior
to purchasing their loan receivables and annual reviews are performed to
monitor continued compliance.


 


It is the goal of FCC to build and service a high
yield, performing portfolio for maximum profit. Compliance with the policies
and procedures contained in this manual are the cornerstone to achieving this
goal. The policies and procedures are reviewed and updated as needed.


 


Schedule V

Section 2 - MARKETING


 


The company markets it products by maintaining high
visibility in the home improvement lending industry. The company seeks business
relationships with quality contractors who exercise the highest standards of
professionalism and business ethics. FCC rigorously investigates every business
relationship before sourcing loan originations. Management implements all
marketing strategies.


 


Senior Management of the company attend Trade Shows
and maintain memberships in various affiliations to maintain this visibility.
The company is currently a member of NARI (National Association of the
Remodeling Industry) both nationally & locally in Dallas, Texas.


 


The company exhibits in at least one national trade
show annually and either sponsors or co-sponsors regional events or seminars as
management may determine beneficial to both FCC marketing efforts and the
industry. The company also maintains a regional sales representative in
Pennsylvania to facilitate contractors in one of the most concentrated home
improvement areas of the country.


 


POLICY — All associations, trade show participation,
sponsorships and marketing efforts of any type must be approved and
orchestrated with Senior Management. Any publications, marketing materials or
efforts must be approved by Executive and Senior Management.

Section 3 - CONTRACTOR RELATIONS


 


POLICY - Contractors who submit customer applications and
originate loans offered to FCC for sourcing must meet minimum requirements as
set forth by Senior Management. As standard operating procedure contractors
should meet the following guidelines.


 


1.                                       Two-years in business.


2.                                       Principal(s) can not have filed
personal bankruptcy during the last 5-years.


3.                                       Principal(s) personal credit bureaus
must reflect no major derogatory credit for at least (3-years) prior to
application.


4.                                       Dealer/Contractor must have at least two (2) verifiable
trade/supplier references.


5.                                       Business checking account must have an
average balance history of sufficient liquidity. Excessive overdraft activity
will be cause for denial of the dealer application.


6.                                       In states where licenses are required for
the contractor to conduct business, FCC must verify that such licenses are in
place.


7.                                       A satisfactory report must be received
from the nearest Better Business Bureau agency. In the event of no history with
the Better Business Bureau, the State Attorneys General Office will be accessed
for their experience with the contractor.


 


Senior Management may approve contractors meeting
minimum requirements, but exceptions will require presentation of the completed
Dealer/Contractor file with documentation as to the exception to the company
President for approval.


 


Once FCC approves a Dealer/Contractor, the file is
scheduled for annual review or more frequently as determined by the manager.
All business relations are monitored inclusive of service complaint resolutions
and portfolio performance. Exception approvals require closer monitoring and
more frequent reviews.


 


PROCEDURE — The following events and documentation must be
completed before setting up a new Dealer/Contractor relationship.


 


A.                                   Submission - The Dealer/Contractor must
submit a completed package for investigation and consideration. The following
items constitute a completed package.


 


1.                                       Dealer/Contractor Application and
Continuous Buy Sell Agreement fully completed and initialed by a principal on
each page. (Section 16 Exhibit A)


2.                                       Copy of the Articles of Incorporation (if
applicable) for the dealer making application.


3.                                       Most recent Financial Statement or recent
personal tax return for sole proprietorships


4.                                       Copies of State Licenses (if applicable)


5.                                       Copy of Work Order and Notice of Right To
Cancel provided to consumers


 


3

















 


6.                                       Literature/Brochures/Warranties on
products/services sold


 


B.                                     Processing/Investigation


 


1.                                       Log the company into the Excel New Dealer
File Log spreadsheet.


2.                                       Review APPRO Channels Maintenance to
determine any previous FCC experience with the dealer. If none, assign a new
dealer number and enter into the system with an Agreement Status of “Pending”.
Enter the dealer number into the Excel spreadsheet also. If the dealer was
previously approved with FCC we will use the existing APPRO Channel and dealer
number. Change the status to “Pending”, update address, phone numbers, etc.,
and enter the dealer number into the Excel spreadsheet.


3.                                       Determine if the Dealer/Contractor meets
minimum FCC guidelines. This initial review should reveal if the file is
incomplete, or if documents are not executed properly. At such time, the
contractor should be contacted and informed of the status.


4.                                       Once the file has been initially
reviewed, investigation should commence unless the review reveals that minimum
guidelines are not met. If guidelines are not met the investigation should
cease until the manager reviews the file.


5.                                       Call the business phone number provided
on the Dealer Application to determine if the phone is answered in the business
name. Call the principal(s) home phone number(s) provided to
determine that they are working numbers. Verify that numbers are listed on
phone directory websites. Notate results on New Dealer Application Checklist. (Section 16
Exhibit B)


6.                                       Clear the company with the Better
Business Bureau (web site or phone) and document if in good standing or with
outstanding complaints. If no record with the Better Business Bureau, the
Attorneys General office for all states the contractor does business in will be
contacted for their experience with the contractor. Notate results on New
Dealer Application Checklist.


7.                                       Complete the Bank Reference verification
by phone or fax. (Section 16 Exhibit C) The Authorization to Release
Information Form is usually required for this step.


8.                                       Contact the Supplier/Trade References and
obtain a report of their history with the company and/or principal(s).


9.                                       Contact the various Licensing Departments
(if applicable) and verify their status and/or history with the company and
expiration date of said license.


10.                                 Review articles of incorporation and
validate the dealer’s current status with the secretary of state where they are
organized.


11.                                 Review the dealer’s financial statements
to determine solvency and sufficient volume to warrant approval by FCC.


12.                                 Obtain credit reports for all principals
/ owners of the dealer and review to ensure creditworthiness complies with FCC
standards.


13.                                 Review the dealer’s work order / contract
to determine it contains an acceptable “Right to Cancel” clause as required by
the FTC ruling.

14.                                 Sign the processing checklist and prepare
the package in “Submission Checklist Order” (Section 16 Exhibit D)
then deliver the package to the Manager for review.


 


C.                                     Underwriting — Approval or Declination


 


1.                                     Senior management will review the
completed file and render a decision. If the Manager feels there are “redeeming
qualities on a company that does not meet minimum requirements”, the file
should be documented as to the reason(s) for approval and submitted to
President for review.


2.                                     The Manager will document the file
Approved or Declined. In rare instances, the file could remain in a “Pending”
status if additional information or investigation is required. Once the
decision is rendered and properly documented, the file will be returned for
further data input.


3.                                     If approved, change the dealer Agreement
Status in the APPRO Channel to “Approved” and enter the states approved in the
Channel Notes field. Ensure that appropriate contact names, phone numbers, FAX
numbers, and e mail addresses are entered. If the application is declined
change the Agreement Status to “Declined” and enter notes in the Channel Notes
field with reasons.


4.                                     Print and fax to the Dealer/Contractor
the approval letter (Section 16 Exhibit E) or denial letter (Section 16
Exhibit F) signed by senior management. Attach the “fax confirmation” with
a copy of the decision to the left-hand side of the dealer file. Mail the
original decision letter to the Dealer/Contractor. If approved a photocopy of
the executed buy sell agreement is enclosed with the approval letter along with
New Dealer forms. (Section 16 Exhibit G)


5.                                     Dealer files are then labeled
Inactive/Denied and Active/Approved and filed accordingly after they are
scanned into the dealer imaging system.


 


D.                                    Renewal (Update) Investigation


 


1.                                     The credit department generates a month
end report (Section 16 Exhibit H) which lists upcoming renewal
investigations for the following month.


2.                                     The tracking system is used to determine
volume (amount of business received) for the past six-months. If there is no
activity, the APPRO channel will be updated to reflect “inactive”. An inactive
letter is prepared and forwarded to the dealer (Section 16 Exhibit I).
The file will only be reinvestigated if the contractor sends new business.


3.                                     All other approved files will require the
status field to reflect “Update” and the files go into the Update filing
cabinet for subsequent processing.


4.                                     Employees conducting the reinvestigation
first verify that the Continuous Buy Sell Agreement in the file is the most
recent (12/00) version. Using the “Dealer Update Checklist” (Section 16 Exhibit J)
the re-investigation is conducted. This investigation requires everything that
was done in the original investigation when the dealer was first approved.


5.                                     Additional requirements during
re-investigation include review of dealer service complaints and new business
activity.

Once the investigation is complete and the reports are
obtained, the package is submitted to the Manager for approval or denial of
dealership.


 


E.                                      Service Complaints


 


1.                                     When a valid service complaint is
received, the information is entered in the “Service Complaint Log” (Section 16
Exhibit K) to open and track the complaint.


2.                                     The complaint is documented by preparing
the “Service Complaint Worksheet”. (Section 16 Exhibit L) All issues
should be documented with clear and concise comments. When addressing the
issues with the customer, verify that each issue relates to work described on
the dealer’s contract or work order.


3.                                     The customer is informed that “verbal
agreements” (if any) are outside the scope of issues addressed by FCC. The
customer will then be advised that FCC will contact the contractor/dealer who
in turn should contact the customer regarding resolution of their complaint(s).
The customer is instructed to contact FCC again after contact is made with
contractor/dealer or in the event that the contractor fails to respond in a
reasonable amount of time.


4.                                     Contact the dealer and advise them of the
customer(s) issues and request that the dealer contact customer(s). Notate
these series of events on the worksheet and document a “Hold Date” determined
by the conversations with both dealer and customer. The “Hold Date” should also
be entered in the Service Complaint Log. 
Management will review open service complaints and related action taken,
on a weekly basis.


5.                                     All communications with the customer and
the dealer/contractor must be documented on the worksheet. If the complaint is
not brought to an amicable conclusion within a reasonable amount of time, the
customer file and worksheet should be submitted to a supervisor. Extensive
delays or lack of communication by the dealer/contractor may necessitate
further action being taken by FCC Management.


6.                                     Once the customer acknowledges
satisfaction with the repairs, the complaint is closed and a written
acknowledgment (Section 16 Exhibit M) is mailed to the customer to
sign and return. A copy of this letter is attached to the worksheet to be
filed. Customer(s) failure to return the written satisfaction form is not
cause for FCC to keep the complaint open.


7.                                     Should the contractor fail, or refuse, to
satisfy a substantiated complaint the dealership is terminated.

Section 4 - UNDERWRITING


 


POLICY — FCC maintains full compliance with ECOA (Federal
Equal Credit Opportunity Act) and RESPA (Real Estate Settlement Procedures
Act). The company sources customer applications from home improvement
dealers/contractors to finance their goods and/or services. All underwriting
takes place in the corporate office. The consumer is provided with the required
notification of the credit decision as outlined in the two acts aforementioned.


 


In addition to legal compliance, FCC requires its
employees to evaluate credit applications based on the “Company Products and
Underwriting Guidelines” as published (Section 16 Exhibit Z). The
evaluation will include but is not limited to credit bureau reports,
calculation of debt ratio and the calculation of loan to value (LTV) on the
subject property being improved.


 


PROCEDURE — The following takes place on all credit
applications processed by FCC.


 


A.                                   Data Entry


 


1.                                       When the credit application is received
it is audited to ensure the application is signed and dated by the applicant(s) or
if received from an approved contractor/dealer with the exception of signature
on file. It is FCC’s practice not to process credit applications that are over
sixty days old. Credit Applications over sixty days old must be updated by the
contractor or approved by the Senior Underwriter to process. The credit
application is also reviewed to ensure that the applicant resides in a state
where FCC purchases receivables, minimum income requirements, and that the
information on the credit application is sufficient to properly process the
application. In the event the credit application is unable to be processed, due
to stale dating or missing information, the application will be “Pended” and
the dealer notified. In the event the credit application is denied prior to
accessing the applicants credit bureau report, the dealer is notified however
no “Statement of Credit Denial” (Section 16 Exhibit O) is required to
be mailed to the applicant. If the credit application is satisfactory, the
processor will continue with the data input.


2.                                       Entering the credit application into the “front
end system” commences processing of all applications. If the application
contains two or more borrowers, the applicant evidencing the highest income will
be the primary applicant and processed accordingly. If the application is
missing required information, it is logged into the system as pended, the
dealer notified of the reason by the Pending Status Sheet, and the credit
application filed accordingly. If the application is satisfactory and data
input completed in the “front end system” a credit report will then be accessed
by the processor.


3.                                       A credit bureau report is obtained on
each applicant (joint report if applicants disclose they are married). The
primary credit bureau service used by FCC is Trans Union. If the Trans Union
report is inconclusive Equifax and/or Experian reports will be accessed. When
the credit bureau report is printed, it is matched to the corresponding credit
application and given to the underwriter for analysis.


 


7

















 


4.                                       The underwriter analyzes the credit
history contained on the credit bureau report. If the information does not meet
FCC guidelines, the application is notated as a Credit Denial and a general
reason notated. Loan terms, appropriate interest rate for the month in which
the application was taken, and state information are input. Debts are analyzed
by reviewing the credit application for debt disclosed on the application and
debts contained in the credit report. If income information (paystubs) is
supplied with the credit application, it is analyzed and calculated then input
in the APPRO system. In the event income information is not supplied, the
income is taken from the stated amount on the credit application. Completion of
the debt ratio analysis is performed by the APPRO system and reviewed by the
underwriter.


 


If the Underwriter determines
the application can be purchased, loan stipulations are added in the APPRO system
and a Commitment Letter (Section 16 Exhibit Q) is generated.


 


The package is now assembled
in the following order:


 


a)                                      Approval Sheet


b)                                     Credit application


c)                                      Credit bureau report(s)


d)                                     Income verification (pay-stubs)


e)                                      Dealer work order/contract


 


The package is forwarded to
the Processing department.


 


5.                                       Approved applications are assigned an
approval number, input as approved in the system and the conditional commitment
letter is faxed to the dealer. Commitment letters have an expiration date of 60
or 90 days depending on the credit worthiness of the applicant and/or
individual dealer/contractor agreement. Denied applications are input in the
system, a statement of credit denial (Section 16 Exhibit O) is
prepared and faxed to the dealer. Pending applications are handled in the same
fashion utilizing the pending sheet previously described.


6.                                       At the conclusion of the workday, the
input processor will prepare Good Faith Estimates (in duplicate) (Section 16
Exhibit R) for all conditionally approved secured loan transactions. One
copy is mailed to the applicant the next business day and the second copy is
placed with the loan package prepared by the staff. Unsecured approvals do not
require Good Faith Estimates. Credit denials are copied or accessed from the
system at the conclusion of the business day. The staff pulls the appropriate
days denials and mails them.


 


Denied transactions are
filed, numerically and by date. Pending applications are filed, awaiting
response from the contractor. Loan

approval packages are
forwarded to the appropriate department for further processing.


 


B.                                     Pre-Approval Stipulation Clearance


 


1.                                       Loan conditions/stipulations are
forwarded to the appropriate processing department to finalize loan approval.
Loan conditions can be approved and cleared by the processor however any
condition not within the processor’s approval authority will be directed to the
underwriter. During this process the underwriter may determine that the original
pre-approval may no longer meet the purchase requirements. In such instances
the underwriter will (1) add or change conditions to meet FCC guidelines, (2) Decline/cancel
the conditional loan approval if it no longer meets approval criteria or (3) Pend
the conditionally approved application until such time that additional
information or verifications are received.


2.                                       FCC delegates authority to underwriters
and processors (based upon tenure and experience) to sign off on pre-approval
stipulations being processed. Acceptance/approval of loan stipulations, are
notated in the APPRO system.


3.                                       After review, the senior underwriter
forwards the loan package to processing for system update of the file. The
dealer will also be notified of any changes to the original approval at this
time.


 


C.                                     Interest Rate


 


1.                                       FCC adjusts secured interest rates on a
monthly basis. It is the policy of FCC to establish secured interest rates
beneath the Federal Regulation Z, Section 32 disclosure requirement.


2.                                       Once the calculations are compiled, a
monthly FCC rate sheet is produced (Section 16 Exhibit U). It is the
practice of FCC to fax the monthly rate sheet to contractors/dealers
approximately one week prior to month end. Federal Law does not govern
unsecured interest rates and FCC will establish this rate internally based on
state requirements, risk and market conditions.

Section 5 - PROCESSING


 


POLICY — The Company employs loan processors to perform the
verification requirements on all pre-approved customer applications after the
submitting dealer/contractor advises FCC to begin processing. The processor
reviews the file documents and conducts mortgage, employment and insurance
verifications along with any specific stipulations (requirements) that the
Underwriter designated on the Pre-Approval Commitment Letter. The title report
is also examined when received by Loan Processor.


 


PROCEDURE — The following procedures must be completed for
compliance with approval guidelines.


 


A.                                   Verification of Mortgages


 


1.                                       The processor reviews the credit
application, credit report, debt ratio, and the title report, to determine who
holds senior liens on the subject property. The senior lien(s) is verified
by the most expedient method available (i.e. credit bureau report, direct check
or fax authorization respectively). FCC requires at minimum the loan balance,
monthly payment amount, next due date and date last payment was received to be
verified. Any verification that reveals the senior lien(s) status is
questionable, must be returned to the Pre-Approval Underwriter or processing
manager for review.


2.                                       All information obtained is verified on
the Mortgage Verification (Section 16 Exhibits V) and on the Processing
Notification (Section 16 Exhibit W) as well as in the APPRO System.


 


B.                                     Verification of Employment and Income


 


1.                                     The borrower(s) employment is
verified verbally or in writing inclusive of date of hire, current position,
income specifics (if released) and the name/title of person who provided the
information. If the approval file qualifies under the maximizer program, then
only verification of customer’s employment is necessary.


2.                                     It is the processor’s responsibility to
calculate the debt ratio based on the income verified as opposed to borrower(s) income
submitted at time application was provided by the dealer/contractor. The
processor will document the method of calculation to comply with instructions
provided in Underwriting Guidelines (Section 16 Exhibit Z).


3.                                     The processor must notify the
dealer/contractor if the income verified as opposed to the income submitted is
insufficient and is returned to underwriting for review.


4.                                     The file must also return to the
underwriter if time on job verified is substantially less than stated on the
credit application. A two-year history is required unless otherwise waived by
an underwriter.


5.                                     All information
verified must be documented on the appropriate Employment Verification (Section 16
Exhibit X) and on the Processing Notification as well as in the APPRO
System.


 


10

















 


C.                                     Verification of
Property Insurance


 


1.                                       The insurance
coverage on the property to secure the loan must be verified. This can be
accomplished verbally or in writing to ensure there is sufficient coverage.


2.                                       All information
verified must be documented on the Verification of Insurance (Section 16 Exhibit Y).


 


D.                                    Title Report
Review and Clearance


 


1.                                     The title report
is reviewed as soon as it is received by FCC to ensure that the subject property
is clear of all encumbrances (other than those disclosed on the Pre-Approval).
This is also compared to the Pre-Approval Commitment Letter.


2.                                     The processor
will notify the dealer/contractor if the borrower(s) have outstanding
deficiencies of title (i.e. tax liens, judgment(s) or other liens) that
are not acceptable to FCC. Judgments are investigated by processor; via Title
Company that provided title or county clerk’s office. In the event the
processor is unable to clear stipulations, the dealer/contractor is then
notified that the customer must provide the necessary item(s).


3.                                     The processor
will take the file back to Underwriting for review of any deficiencies. If an
exception is made, the Underwriter will notate the Audit Exception Worksheet (Section 16
Exhibit AA).


4.                                     All pertinent
information is documented in writing and faxed to the submitting
dealer/contractor as necessary.


5.                                     Outstanding
liens discovered that must be cleared will be provided to the dealer/contractor
who in turn will give the information to the borrower(s). In this manner, the
borrower(s) have the opportunity to clear the lien by paying it off, then
supplying the proof of this occurrence to the dealer/contractor who in turn
will provide FCC with this proof. FCC will verify the information for accuracy.


6.                                     On occasion, a
lien appears on title that does not pertain to the subject borrower(s) or
property. In this instance, FCC requires a “Non- Identity Affidavit” be
completed, executed by the borrower(s), notarized and submitted to them for
recordation. The processor will ensure the form is properly completed, when
required and received before funding the loan.


 


E.                                      Clearing
Conditions and Notification


 


1.                                       The processor is
responsible for ensuring that all conditions on the Pre-Approval Commitment
Letter are met. This should be done prior to the file being submitted for
pre-audit and/or final processing. If the processor receives documentation from
the dealer/contractor to clear a condition that does not meet FCC acceptance,
the processor should advise the dealer/contractor. Once alternative proof is
received the file should then be returned to the Pre-Approval Underwriter for
consideration and acceptance.


2.                                       It is the responsibility of the processor
to mark within the APPRO System when conditions are met.


 


11

















 


F.                                      Pre-Audit File Follow-up


 


1.                                     All information received from
contractor/dealer to clear outstanding stipulations on pre-audited files, are
processed by the initial processor who handled the file in the processing
stage.


2.                                     Once stipulations are cleared, the
processor will notify contractor/dealer via fax, phone or e-mail.


3.                                     The processor is responsible for
documenting the appropriate report to reflect all cleared stipulations on
pre-audit files.

Section 6 - DOCUMENT PREPARATION


 


POLICY — FCC provides loan document preparation to its
dealer/contractors. This  service is
initiated once the dealer/contractor notifies FCC by fax that they are  ready to have loan documents prepared and
signed. FCC orders title reports in 
behalf of dealer/contractor for secured loans, reviews the title report
on receipt and  then prepares the loan
documents.


 


PROCEDURE — The following procedures are followed to prepare
loan documentation:


 


A.                                   Receipt of Request to Order Title and
Prepare/Ship Documents


 


1.                                     The dealer/contractor faxes a Services
Request Form (Section 16  Exhibit CC)
indicating their request for FCC to order title and/or  prepare loan documents. Unless arrangements
have been made with  the dealer to
approve their Title Company of choice, FCC places the  order through an approved title agency using
the dealer/contractor  account.


2.                                     After the title report is reviewed and
cleared by FCC in accordance  with Title
Review form (Section 16 Exhibit DD), the documents are  drawn, logged and shipped to the
dealer/contractor as ordered.


 


B.                                     Title Company Policy and Procedure


 


1.                                       FCC orders title reports (Section 16
Exhibit EE) from approved title 
companies capable of providing service in the states where FCC  sources business. Completed reports are to be
faxed directly to FCC.  FCC will in turn
notify the dealer/contractor of outstanding 
deficiencies, if any, in accordance with “Title Report Review”.


2.                                       FCC will allow the dealer/contractor to
order title reports from a Title Company of their choice provided they adhere
to the following requirements:


 


a)                                      Submit E & O Policy in which the
title company must be named,  coverage
must be current, and the amount of coverage must be  acceptable to FCC. If accepted, the title
company and their  location will be added
to the FCC “Approved Title Companies” 
list.


b)                                     The “Approved Title Companies” log (Section 16
Exhibit FF) must be reviewed monthly to insure that expiring O&E
policies are updated with a current declaration page.


c)                                      The title company must fax a copy of the
title directly to FCC for  review and
clearance prior to source. However, to expedite the preparation and shipping of
documents, the dealer/contractor may  fax
a copy of the title to FCC.


 


C.                                     Document Preparation


 


1.                                       Loan documents are prepared using the
Company software and information obtained from the pre-approval file documents
consisting of the commitment letter, credit application, work order and the
title report. The terms and amount of disbursements come from the  commitment 


 


13

















 


letter, work order and the “Public Record
Research  System” (recording fees).


2.                                       Loan documents for unsecured loans are
prepared and overnighted or  emailed to
the dealer the same day the commitment letter is faxed to  the dealer, unless other arrangements have
been made.


3.                                       Documents for unsecured loans include the
following:

e)                                      Phone Verification Form (Section 16
Exhibit JJ)


f)                                        Verification of Homeowner Insurance (when
proof of ownership is requested) (Section 16 Exhibit Y)


 


4.                                       Documents for secured loans include the
following:


 


a)                                      Credit Application

Section 7 - PRE-FUNDING AUDIT


 


POLICY — The task of Pre-Funding Audit is to ensure that
each loan file is complete, uniformly organized, and all documents have been
properly executed. In this manner, when the dealer/contractor starts a job they
can be more reasonably assured the loan will be purchased after completion of
the work.


 


This function expedites the funding process once the
Completion Certificate is received for advance of the loan. The funding area
may still have to review documentation, and update some of the verifications to
assure compliance with FCC Underwriting Guidelines. This check and balance
system requires that at least two employees review every loan file in its
entirety prior to purchase.


 


PROCEDURE — The following events and/or requirements take place
during completion of the Pre-Funding Audit.


 


A.                                   Receipt Of Loan Package From
Dealer/Contractor


 


1.                                       The dealer/contractor sends the executed
loan documents, including any additional conditions required. A Pre-Audit
report is generated daily then disseminated to appropriate personnel.


2.                                       The underwriting file is pulled and
merged with the original loan documents. At this point the dealer file is
opened to verify that the Dealer is Approved and Active, and that properly
authorized individuals executed the assignment and other documentation on
behalf of the Dealer/Contractor.


 


B.                                     Auditing the Loan File


 


1.                                       The documents are audited for accuracy
and completion.  Additionally they are
reconciled with underwriting conditions (stipulations) and FCC Underwriting
Guidelines (Section 16 Exhibit Z). Should the conditions stated on
the Commitment Letter not be met satisfactorily, the file must return to
Underwriting for review. A completed Contractors Auditing Checklist (Section 16
Exhibit MM) for secured loans or an Unsecured Auditing Checklist (Section 16
Exhibit NN) for unsecured loans, allow the file to proceed to the Funding
Department. These forms must be completed down to the Cash Authorization line
with the exception of numbers 23 & 24 on secured loans and numbers 16 &
17 on unsecured loans.


 


·                                          Credit Application: Must be completed with all information
including home phone numbers, work phone numbers, nearest relative with phone
number and borrower(s) original signature(s).  (Section 16 Exhibit GG)


·                                          Loan-to-Value / Debt Ratio Analysis: The LTV will be recalculated using
appraised value (or stated value when applicable) and the mortgage balance
provided on the Mortgage Verification. The debt pad will be used to ensure that
the processor has accurately entered the verified mortgage payment amount and
verified income amounts.


 


16
















 


·                                          Retail Installment Contract: Must be completed with all information
including borrower(s) name(s) and address, dealer name and address, correct
date, accurate description of goods sold, down payment and amount of job from
work order, original signatures, authorized assignment and accurate terms.
Audit of this document shall also include re-verifying the figures in the
Itemization of Amount Financed, payment schedule and all Federal Truth in
Lending Disclosures. The pre-auditor or underwriting department will make the
determination as to the best manner in which to rectify an error. Correction
notices (Section 16 Exhibit OO) or return of documents to
dealer/contractor for corrections, with customer(s) initials or reexecuted
documents are some procedures used.


·                                          Mortgage / Deed of Trust: This document will be filed to record
our lien (the Security Instrument). The pre-auditor will verify the dollar
amount of the transaction, legal description of the property securing the loan,
borrower(s) names executed as they appear on title. The mortgage document
must be notarized with state appropriate stamps and signatures as required.


·                                          Assignment of Mortgage / Deed of Trust: The date on this document can not be
the same as that on the Mortgage / Deed of Trust, and must be after the
rescission period has ended. This document normally references the dollar
amount on the Security Instrument, and the FCC database or actual Dealer File
will be checked to verify that the person who executed the Assignment is
authorized to do so. This document also must be notarized with state
appropriate stamps and signatures as required.


·                                          Completion Certificate: The document must be signed and dated
by both the dealer/contractor and the borrower(s) after the job is
completed. Faxed certificates are acceptable to fund with original to follow.


·                                          Right to Cancel: The rescission must begin on the same
date that the Retail Installment Contract is executed. The cancellation date
must be at least 3 business days after the Retail Installment Contract date,
and should exclude Sundays and federal holidays. A Right to Cancel form must be
executed by all borrower(s) and each borrower must be provided with two
copies at the time of execution. Thus, no more than two borrower(s) can
execute the same Right to Cancel. Additional forms must be used in increments
of two borrower(s) per form since it only provides sufficient copies for
two individuals (4 copies per form). If form is improperly executed,
pre-auditors will have new forms reexecuted, allowing an additional three days
to properly rescind the transaction.


·                                          HUD 1-A Settlement Statement: This document must be completed with
all pertinent information inclusive of date, names, addresses, signatures, all
fees and any other dollar amounts that are included in the transaction.
Estimates are not acceptable, as this document is required to be a true itemization
of all dollar amounts paid by the borrower. If transaction amounts change, the
HUD 1-A must be corrected and re-executed by the borrower(s). P.O.C. items
(paid outside of closing) that are paid by the borrower must also be disclosed.


 


17

















 


·                                          Credit Report: The report must be the complete
original report.


·                                          Good Faith Estimate: The audit should ensure that it was
sent to the borrower within three days of receiving the credit application. The
document is then checked for accuracy as to date, borrower(s) name(s) and
address with reasonable fee estimates disclosed.


·                                          Contractor Work Order: The document shall disclose an adequate
description of the work and/or services being performed by the
dealer/contractor, a date prior to or same as the Retail Installment Contract,
amount of work, name(s), and address of the borrower(s) and the
dealer/contractor as well as signature(s) of the borrower(s) and
authorized signer for the dealer/contractor.


·                                          Appraisal: Audited for accuracy and to ensure the data is a
reasonable valuation. Comparisons should be within a similar time period and
location. Sales should be within the past year (six months preferred).


·                                          Debt Ratio / Loan to Value Analysis (Debt
Pad): (Section 16
Exhibit P) The verified income, debt & payment amounts, superior
mortgage balances and property values (appraised or stated) will be compared to
the debt pad for accuracy.


·                                          Title Report: The title report must be the original
received directly from the Title Company or a fax that came directly from the
Title Company. It is examined for name(s), conveyances, liens/judgments and
other encumbrances. All necessary items must have been cleared or signed off as
documented on the Title Report Review and Audit Exception Sheet. Reports are
valid for 90-days.


·                                          Verifications: Verifications of Mortgage, Employment
and Property Insurance will be examined for authenticity, completeness and
accuracy. Any additional direct verification (i.e. direct credit checks) will
be reviewed with the same criteria.


 


C.                                     Expired Commitments


 


1.                                       The dealer/contractor is notified by fax
or e-mail of any outstanding conditions and the package is filed until receipt
of those items. All “Expired Commitments” (Section 16 Exhibit PP) are
pulled weekly and a status report is faxed to the submitting dealer/contractor.
If the dealer/contractor requests a recommitment or extension, the file is
returned to Underwriting for consideration. The dealer/contractor is notified
by fax of the decision and the file is processed by Data Entry if denied, or
forwarded to Processing if re-approved. Once the file is recommitted or
extended, it is then returned to the processors who re-execute verifications of
employment, mortgage and homeowners insurance.


2.                                       If the dealer notifies FCC to “cancel the
Commitment”, the status field in the APPRO System is changed, and the file is
handled accordingly.


 


18

















 


Section 8 - FUNDING


 


POLICY — The Company delegates authority to the Funding
Department to perform four primary functions before sourcing a loan from the
dealer/contractor.


 


The functions required are:


 


1.                                       Ensure that all verifications are current
in accordance with the FCC guidelines. The department conducts re-verifications
as is necessary.


2.                                       Perform the commodity check by
tape-recorded conversation with the borrower(s) verification that all work
has been satisfactorily completed and the correctness of the contract(s).


3.                                       Pull public search records and calculate
all mortgage filing fees, tax and assignment fees for deduction from proceeds
on secured loans.


4.                                       Document the disbursement amounts for the
Accounting Department to ensure the accurate purchase price is paid to the
dealer/contractor.


 


The department is required to
report inconsistencies or violations of Company Policy directly to Senior
Management. This department is responsible for validation that the Company is
sourcing a qualified loan receivable in compliance with FCC Guidelines.


 


PROCEDURE — The following operating procedures must be
completed to accomplish these tasks.


 


A.                                   Receipt of Completion Certificate and
File Clearance


 


1.                                       The dealer/contractor will advise FCC by
one of these methods that the contracted work has been completed:


 


·                                          The original completion certificate is
received by FCC.  (Section 16 Exhibit II)


·                                          A completion certificate is faxed to FCC
..


·                                          The dealer/contractor phone contacts the
funding department and advises that the work is complete and the completion
certificate is forthcoming via mail or overnight delivery service.


 


EXCEPTION: On occasion, Senior Management will
establish and implement a special program with select dealer/contractors
allowing funding prior to phone clearance. A list of these special program
relationships is published by Senior Management as they are established. Any
receivable sourced without telephone clearance is coded with a numerical code,
causing it to remain in a presourced staus until the telephone contact and
clearance is completed.


 


2.                                       The Funding Department obtains the file
from Pre-Audit Department. All files are reviewed by the funding department
prior to conducting the telephone clearance for the following:


 


·                                          Mortgage Verification: senior liens must
be current within FCC guidelines.


·                                          Employment/Income Verification: per company guideline.


 


19

















 


·                                          Title Report: an update is requested from
the title company or through the contractor, if the one in file is beyond 90
days.


·                                          Credit Report: must be dated within the
past 60 to 90 days prior to FCC sourcing the loan. Underwriting does have
authority to make an exception on a case-by-case basis.


·                                          Homeowners Insurance: Each file is
reviewed for adequate insurance coverage.


·                                          Any file that arrives in the funding
department with outstanding stipulations as conditioned by underwriting at the
time of approval must be cleared prior to funding (Section 16 Exhibit QQ)
or must be taken to the Underwriting Department to approve any exception to
requirements on the Commitment Letter and FCC Underwriting Guidelines (Section 16
Exhibit Z).


·                                          Check all signatures on completion
certificate. Compare signature(s) to other documents in file to make sure
the signature is authentic. Verify that both the contractor and customer signed
and dated the completion certificate. If signatures are questionable they are
discussed with the contractor and their authenticity will be covered during the
tape-recorded phone clearance.


·                                          All expired commitments must be submitted
to underwriting for re-commitment or extension. See Section 4 Underwriting
for more details.


 


B.                                     Phone Verification (Commodity Check)


 


1.                                       After all requirements on the commitment
are met, the borrower is contacted for telephone clearance. The Phone
Verification (Section 16 Exhibit JJ) is conducted to determine if all
work has been completed by the dealer/contractor in a satisfactory manner while
ensuring that all required items on the form are documented during each
recording.


 


·                                          Tape Recording: each call will be taped
after first obtaining verbal permission from the borrower(s).


·                                          Identification of Borrower: it is
essential to ensure we are speaking with one of the borrowers while performing
the phone clearance. This is even more strategic if the borrower is calling
inbound to FCC or when contacting them at their place of employment. The
borrower is asked to recite personal information from their credit application
for identity verification purposes.


·                                          Improvements: clearly verify that all
improvements, as specified on the work order, have been completed by the
dealer/contractor on, or before, the date recorded on the completion
certificate. Minor service issues are acceptable still allowing the loan to be
sourced. Such issues shall be documented on the clearance form and the
dealer/contractor is notified by telephone or fax and requested to address the
borrower(s) concerns. (Section 16 Exhibit RR)


·                                          Contract Terms: verify that the borrower is in
agreement with the financial terms as stated on the Phone Verification Form and
shown on the retail installment contract.


 


20

















 


·                                          If during the phone verification the
customer indicates they may be paying with cash for the work, the taping is
stopped immediately, the contractor is notified by fax (Section 16 Exhibit SS),
or phone to pickup their funds. The file is cancelled in FCC computer system (Section 16
Exhibit TT), and the original documents are returned to the contractor (Section 16
Exhibit UU)


·                                          Completion of Work and Miscellaneous:
this portion of the verification requires seven “Yes” or “No” responses by the
customer. The borrower should answer with a yes reply to the first six
questions and no to the seventh question. If the interviewer detects hesitation
or suspects that a problem exists, they should contact the dealer/contractor to
help clarify the situation or notify their supervisor. The interviewer should
also determine if the Credit Application (Section 16 Exhibit GG)
contains the “nearest relative with phone number and customer email adress”
information or obtain it if possible. (Section 16 Exhibit VV)


·                                          First Payment Date: the first payment due
date is established with the borrower during this interview in accordance with
the retail installment contract and FCC policy. The borrower is advised that
FCC will send them temporary payment coupons for their use until they receive
their regular payment book.


 


2.                                       The completed Phone Verification Form is
now signed and made a part of the loan file. The phone clear is recorded by the
Total Recall program. The recordings are then copied to a local drive and
renamed by loan number. Weekly all phone clears are transferred to a network
attached storage device by the IT department.


 


C.                                     Completion of the Cash Authorization


 


1.                                       The Cash Authorization section at the
bottom of the Contractors Audit Checklist or Unsecured Auditing Checklist (Section 16
Exhibit MM) concludes the necessary authorizations to fund the contract.
In addition to bearing a authorization signature and date the following
information is completed:


 


·                                          Amount Financed: taken from the Retail
Installment Contract


·                                          Discount: obtained from the Commitment
Letter (if applicable).


·                                          Acquisition Fee: obtained from the
Commitment Letter (if applicable).


·                                          Mortgage Filing Fee: obtained from the
HUD 1-A Settlement Statement, and verified with the Public Research System so
the correct amount is deducted for filing. (Section 16 Exhibit WW)


·                                          Assignment Filing Fee: obtained from
Public Research System the correct amount to deduct from the contractor/dealer
to assign the mortgage or deed of trust to FCC.


·                                          Forced Placed Insurance Premium: calculated by current
rates provided by insurance company and management, if force placed insurance
is necessary. (Section 16 Exhibit XX)


 


21

















 


·                                          Title fees obtained from the HUD 1-A
Settlement Statement and not deducted except for a few dealers/contractors.


·                                          Net check is obtained by subtracting all
fees, discounts and insurance premiums, if applicable from the amount financed.


·                                          The file goes to the Accounting Department from
funding. They input the contract information into the computer system to
process and remit the checks or wires from the cash authorization to the
appropriate parties.


 


22

















 


Section 9 - PACKAGING


 


POLICY — The department is responsible to prepare the loan
file for collateral agent. One of the primary functions is the perfection of
all liens. Additionally trailing documents are tracked and united with the
appropriate loan file in a timely manner. These functions complete the loan
package and provide the company with a properly documented asset for retention
by investors.


 


PROCEDURE


 


A.                                   Packaging Process and Creation of a
Scanned Image of the Loan File


 


1.                                       The Accounting Department delivers to the
Packaging Department a report of all sourced loans from the previous day’s
business, along with a copy of the Welcome Letter, the Quality Control
Inspection form, a file label, and the original loan file for each loan
sourced.


2.                                       The original file is prepared as follows:


 


·                                          Checklist: used to ensure documents
remain in the same stacking order used by Pre Audit. All internal FCC work
papers are removed and boxed for storage. (Section 16 Exhibit YY)


·                                          Retail Installment Contract: original is
pulled from the file and the new loan number is recorded on the upper right
hand corner of the document. On the back of the contract located in the
assignment area FCC Investment Trust I is assigned the loan.


·                                          Mortgage / Deed of Trust: the loan number
is also recorded at the top of this document as well as the first and final
payment dates. Review is made to ensure that the notary information is complete
and that borrower(s) name are printed or typed below their signatures. A
photocopy of this document is also made with the copy being placed in the
original loan file. The original mortgage is forwarded to the county for
recording.


·                                          Assignment of Mortgage / Deed of Trust:
the loan number is recorded on this document. It is also reviewed to make
certain the assignment is dated on or after the date of completion.  Verification is made that notary information
is complete and that the authorized contractors name and title is typed or
printed below their signature(s). A photocopy is made and the copy is placed in
the original loan file. The original assignment is forwarded to the county for
recording.


·                                          Homeowners’ Insurance Form: the loss
payee endorsement request is faxed to the borrower(s) agent. A declaration
page is requested to follow via fax or mail to FCC. A copy of this
document is placed in the original file.


·                                          Estoppel Letter: the FCC loan number is
recorded on this form and copy is made for the original, the original is mailed
to the senior lien holder. A receipt of acknowledgment is returned to FCC. A

3.                                       A complete scan of all documents that are
in the original file is created and the original file is sent to the collateral
agent.


 


23

















 


B.                                     Forwarding Mortgages/Assignments for
Recordation


 


1.                                     All original Mortgages and Assignments
including legal description of property along with checks for recording fees
are sent to the county for recordation. These documents are logged into the
mortgage tracking program.


2.                                     All mortgages and/or assignment that are
returned to FCC from the county for corrections are corrected and returned to
the county for recording.


 


All outgoing or incoming transactions between the
county and FCC are notated in mortgage tracking system. (Section 16 Exhibit ZZ)


 


C.                                     Receipt of Recorded Mortgages/Assignments


 


1.                                     Once recorded items are received,
documents are logged in Mortgage Tracker to reflect date received.


2.                                     A systems check is conducted to determine
if FCC owns the loan or if the loan has been sold, paid off or pledged. If FCC
owns the loan, the recorded documents are placed in the original file. If
accounts were sold, the system generates a letter forwarding the original
documents. (Section 16 Exhibit AAA) If account is paid off, the
Release of mortgage is executed and sent along with original mortgage to the
customer. If the loan is pledged a letter is generated to direct the original
mortgage to the collateral agent.  Those
recorded items are sent out via overnight mail to the collateral agent to be
placed in the original file.


3.                                       All recorded documents are scanned and
the image is placed in the scan file.


 


Once receipts of outstanding
funding stips are received, documents are copied and placed in the original
file. If loan has been transferred, documents are scanned to scan file and
forwarded to investor. (Section 16 Exhibit BBB)


 


24

















 


Section 10 - ACCOUNTING


 


POLICY - The Company utilizes “ACCPAC” an accounting
software package written by Sage Software, Inc. (version 5.4a). The Vice
President of Operations of the department reports directly to Executive
Management and has responsibility for all financial entries, reports and
documentation.


 


This department manages payroll, notes receivable,
cash receipts and management information systems (MIS) in accordance with
generally acceptable practices of accounting rules and directives as
adopted or amended by Executive Management and the Board of Directors.
Modifications are considered and generally adopted when submitted by qualified
external audit or after scheduled visits. Every department or area within the
company interacts and/or provides data to the accounting department on a daily
basis. Most of the detailed procedure collected/managed by this department is
therefore incorporated within other sections of this manual.


 


PROCEDURE — The procedure for Notes Receivable, Cash Receipts
and Cash Disbursement are covered within this section of the FCC Policy and
Procedures Manual.


 


A.                                   FCC Trust Receivable


 


1.                                       FCC approval of contractors: (see Section 3
Contractor Relations for detail)


 


·                                          The company facilitates financing for
home repairs, remodeling and other miscellaneous home projects.


·                                          FCC works with pre-approved contractors.


·                                          Contractors must go through an approval
process before FCC will facilitate any of their contracts.


 


2.                                       Contractor/FCC approval of Customers:
(see Section 3 through Section 8 for detail procedures)


 


·                                        The contractor must submit the contract
for FCC to review for possible sourcing prior to FCC sourcing said contract.
The process includes obtaining a credit application, work order, title report,
homeowner insurance verification, etc.


·                                        Upon FCC acknowledging it’s commitment to
source the note and before the job is started, the customer signs the
appropriate documents (see next section for note preparation).


·                                        When the work is completed the contractor
and customer sign a completion certificate stating that the project is
complete.


·                                        In addition to the completion contract,
FCC calls the customer (recording the phone conversation) and verifies with the
customer that the job was completed to the customer’s satisfaction.


·                                        At this point, FCC advances funds to the
contractor and the note is recorded as a receivable.   The amount paid to the contractor is the
total 


 


25

















 


amount financed less any discount, filing fees, and/or
other miscellaneous fees. The entry to record the funding follows:


 


	
  Receivable

  	
   

  	
  XXX

  	
   

  
	
  Cash

  	
   

  	
  XXX

  	
   

  
	
  Discount

  	
   

  	
  XXX

  	
   

  
	
  Title
  Work Payable

  	
   

  	
  XXX

  	
   

  



 


B.                                     Cash Receipts— FCC follows these
procedures for cash receipts: (See Section 12 Loan Servicing for detail)


 


1.                                       Notes Receivable and Notes Held as
Investment


 


For the notes that FCC holds,
checks are posted to the customers account when received. Cash receipts personnel
prepare a list of the cash receipts, as well as a daily deposit slip. The
Accounting Manager reviews the postings and reconciles the postings to the
daily cash receipts total. Deposits are picked up daily by courier for the
deposit into the FCC bank account. The Accounting Manager books the necessary
entries to the GL. The GL account is then balanced against the loan servicing
system to verify the principal reduction and cash receipt.


 


2.                                       Investor Loans serviced by FCC


 


After notes receivable are
transferred to certain investors, FCC continues to service the loans (i.e.
collect payments, etc.). Cash receipts personnel post the payments to the
customers account and then prepare a deposit for the investor. Deposits are
picked up on a daily basis by a courier and taken to the investor’s bank for
deposit. Investor deposits are deposited into an investor account, FCC does not
have access to this account other than for deposit and transaction viewing. The
investor has all rights to the account.

Section 11 - QUALITY ASSURANCE


 


POLICY - A final audit takes place on every loan. The
quality assurance department is responsible for making certain that all
documents, verifications and stipulations have been met or signed off by
authorized personnel. The file has already passed through underwriting,
processing, document preparation, prefunding audit, funding, accounting and
packaging before arriving in this department.


 


PROCEDURE — The quality assurance auditor follows the packaging
checklist to review each item making corrections or obtaining missing items
when necessary as follows:


 


1.                                     Name Verification — The borrower(s) name(s) are
verified to be the same on the debt sheet, credit application, file folder and
credit bureau(s).


2.                                     Credit Application — The auditor checks
for original signatures by all applicant(s) with complete information on
all borrower(s).


3.                                     Credit Report — The auditor compares
debts reported to those listed on the FCC debt analysis sheet. Social security
warnings, past due debts and previous bankruptcy filings on the report are
identified. If the loan was funded under the FCC Maximizer program, the credit
bureau scores are compared to the Maximizer matrix. Bankruptcy must be cleared
by a copy of the discharge notice.


4.                                     Retail Contract — The copy of the retail
installment contract is reviewed for dates, down payment amount (as compared to
the dealer work order), and signatures. The assignment of retail contract must
be to FCC Investment Trust I. All contracts must have figures verified to
insure accuracy.


5.                                     HUD — 1 — This document shows all amounts
involved on the transaction as they appear on the retail contract. It must be
signed by all parties on title to the property (compared to title report).


6.                                     Work Order — The dealer contract/work
order must be reviewed to insure it bears the dealer (company) name, correct
amount that should match the retail contract disclosure, including down
payment, dates and signatures by the customer(s) and contractor.


7.                                     Right to Cancel — All parties on title to
the property or any parties signing the retail contract must sign this
document. The document(s) are checked for dates to insure they match the
retail contract and that the 3 days to rescind have been calculated correctly
and that they excluded Federal Holidays and Sundays.


8.                                     Mortgage/Deed of Trust — This document is
reviewed for dates (must match retail contract date), comparison of customer
names/signatures to title report (vesting), amount of contract must be
reflected on mortgage (either principal, payment amount or total note as
required by the individual states).


9.                                     Assignment of Mortgage — The assignment
may appear on the mortgage/deed of trust in some states or may be a separate
document in other states. The document is reviewed for date, notarized
signatures (if 


 


28

















 


required) by the contractor and to insure the accurate
legal description of the property is attached.


10.                               Completion Certificate — The original or
a copy of this document must be in file and executed by at least one of the
persons on the retail contract.  The
document is also reviewed for accurate dates and the signature of the
contractor in the lower section of the document.


11.                               Title Report — The report must be the
original or received directly from a FCC approved title reporting company who
is known to have sufficient errors and omission insurance in place. The report
will document the vested parties in ownership and the date deed was transferred
to them.  The report is then reviewed for
outstanding mortgages and compared to the FCC debt sheet and mortgage
verifications. If listed, liens showing on title must be cleared. Acceptable
proof that a lien is released is an original release, letter from mortgagor
stating paid in full, an FCC internal verbal verification that the account is
paid in full or the credit bureau reflecting the balance is zero and paid in
full. Judgments showing on title must be cleared in the same manner as
unreleased mortgages or liens. Delinquent taxes on title require proof paid by
a copy of the paid receipt or a FCC internal verbal verification with the
appropriate authority. The report is also reviewed for date of property
conveyance and legal description by deed. An affidavit of identity is required
in file if the customer(s) did not sign FCC documentation as titled.


12.                               Homeowner Insurance — The homeowner
insurance verification sheet in file is reviewed for completion. This
verification should reflect the insurance company name and the amount of
coverage. Lien positions should also be verified at this time. The verification
in file must document the FCC employee name and date they completed the
verification.


13.                               Verification of Employment — Current
employment must be verified verbally or by fax. If borrower(s) has less
than 2 years at their current employment, verifications of previous employment
must be obtained.


14.                               Income Verification (when required) —
Income must be verified with a copy of check stubs, award letters or bank
statements. Income amounts should be analyzed and compared to the amount used
on the FCC debt sheet. Calculations of monthly income from pay stubs is done by
taking the year to date earnings divided by the number of months and days
covered in the pay period. When only the base salary is disclosed on the pay
stub, holiday and sick leave compensation should be added to the base. Before
calculating the monthly income, it must be determined how many times per year
the borrower is paid. Pay periods may be weekly (52 per year), bi-weekly (26
per year), bi-monthly (24 per year) or monthly (12 per year). The total base
income multiplied by the number of paydays can now be calculated. All pay stubs
must be checked for payroll deductions, or garnishments and to verify the name
is that of our borrower(s).


15.                               Mortgage Verification - The verification
must be complete and reflect the account is within 20 days of due date as of
date sourced.

reviewed for customer name(s), dates and the amount (as compared to the HUD — 1
and contract amount approved).


18.                               FCC Investment Trust I Assignment — This
document must reflect the correct amount of mortgage, date of mortgage and be
executed completely.

Section 12 - LOAN SERVICING


 


POLICY — The loan servicing functions begin once FCC sources
the loan receivable from a Dealer/Contractor . It is the standard operating
procedure of the Company to comply with all state and federal laws while
servicing and collecting accounts. Compliance shall include but not be limited
to Fair Debt Collection Practices as they may be enforced, adopted or amended.
The Company will exercise “zero tolerance” for employee violations that may
fall outside of state and/or federal acceptable collection practices.


 


Additionally, the Company has implemented procedures
to assist management in identifying potentially problematic business
relationships. Specific Dealer/Contractor numbers are assigned to allow
evaluation of the portfolio originated by a specific dealer/contractor . In
this manner, proactive decisions can be made as to “risk management” and
continuance of the business relationship.


 


PROCEDURES — The following procedures are required to conduct
Customer Service and Cash Receipts activities.


 


A.                                   Cash Receipts


 


1.                                       The responsibility of the Cash Receipts
area is to handle all incoming payments with accurate control and tracking
measures to include: identifying appropriate account numbers to funds received,
batching, posting, balancing and reporting of all payment applications,
retractions, refunds and adjustments. The customer’s monthly payment consists
of late fees, interest and principal. When payments are applied to accounts,
the appropriate portion of principal and interest is automatically distributed
according to fee plans established in the servicing system.


2.                                       Procedures for processing Cash Receipts:


 


·                                          Incoming Mail : Payment Processor 1 performs
a brief audit of the payment items verifying that the correct account number is
on the item, the item is not post dated and the item is appropriately signed.
Payment Processor 1 puts all payment items in loan number order. Payment
Processor 1 prepares a tape totaling the amount of the payment items.


·                                          Post Dated Checks: Post-dated checks are
treated as regular payments when received. They are properly endorsed and
deposited with that day’s business.


·                                          Posting of In-House Payments: Payment Processor 1
forwards tape and checks to Payment Processor 2. Payment Processor 2 creates an
excel worksheet and verifies that the total matches the tape run by Payment
Processor 1. The excel worksheet is imported into Loanbase. Loan base
automatically applies all payments that match the payment amount exactly. A preprocess
report is printed. This report shows which payments are automatically applied
and which ones need to be posted manually. After payments are entered, but
before they are posted, a pre-posting report is printed and balanced. Once
pre-posting is balanced, the batch is then posted. After all payments are
received and balanced Payment 


 


31

















 


Processor 2 runs reports separating payments by
investor. Payment Processor 2 then seperates the payment items and creates a
deposit receipt for the correct investor and endorses all payment items with a
restrictive endorsement appropriate to the investor. Payment deposits are then
stored in a locked fireproof cabinet until picked up by courier. Payment
Processor 2 creates a journal entry to the general ledger. Subsequently, the
Accounting Manager balances the sub-ledger (Loanbase) against the GL (ACCPAC)
to verify all postings were proper, as a final verification of cash receipts.


·                                          Posting of Lockbox Payments: Payment Processor
1 downloads the payment file from the FTP website utilizing a login and secure
password. After the files are downloaded an excel worksheet is created. The
excel worksheet is imported into Loanbase. Loanbase will automatically apply
all payments that match the payment amount exactly. A preprocess report is
printed. This report shows which payments are automatically applied and which
ones need to be posted manually. After all payments are entered, but before
they are posted, a pre-posting report is printed and payments are compared to
the pre-process report to ensure reconciles balance. Once payments are
balanced, the batch is posted.  Payment
Processor 1 creates journal entries to the general ledger. Subsequently, the
Accounting Manager balances the sub-ledger (Loanbase) against the GL (ACCPAC)
to verify all postings were proper, as a final verification of cash receipts.


·                                          Western Union Pay by Phone: Pay by Phones
are taken as an alternative method of payment. It is the responsibility of the
Collection Department to obtain the customer’s authorization to process their
payment via a Western Union transaction. 
Once the authorization is obtained, the collection department transfers
the phone call to the loan servicing department. The identity of the caller is
verified by the loan servicing representative and all data given to the loan
servicing representative is entered into the system after which a Confirmation
Number is given if the payment is approved. 
The loan servicing representative will then note the customers account
with the confirmation number and transaction information including date of
check, check number, and the check amount. Borrower’s can also make payments
via Western Union through a secure website hosted by Western Union,
https://paynow5.speedpay.com/firstconsumercredit index.asp or by calling the
automated service provided by Western Union at (866) 896-5480.


·                                          These payments are then transmitted to Western Union
at the beginning of each day. The funds are then drafted into the Western Union
account. The deposits are recorded and balanced daily by the accounting
manager. A report is exported from Western Union into an excel worksheet. The
excel worksheet is imported into Loanbase. Loanbase will automatically apply
all payments that match the payment amount exactly. A pre-process report is
printed showing which payments are automatically applied based on exact amount
of payment and which ones need to be manually applied. 


 


32

















 


After all payments are applied, but before they are
posted, a pre-posting report is printed and balanced. The batch is then posted
independently. Payment Processor 1 runs a report separating the payments by
investor and creates journal entries for the general ledger. Deposits are wired
once approved by VP to the appropriate investor account. Subsequently, the
Accounting Manager balances the subledger (Loanbase) against the GL (ACCPAC) to
verify all postings were proper, as a final verification of cash receipts.


·                                          Posting of Payoff Funds: Payment
Processor verifies that the payoff check is a sufficient amount to payoff the
loan. All payoff amounts within $5.00 of the required payoff amount will be
accepted. If the payoff check is short by more than $5.00, the exact amount of
the check is posted as a prepayment amount rather than as a payoff. A letter is
then generated stating the remaining balance and the letter is sent to the
customer. If payoff check is in excess of payoff amount needed by more than
$5.00, the remaining amount is deposited as reimbursed fees. At the close of
each month’s business a payoff report is generated and a Check Request form on
each account where a refund check is to be issued is then drafted. The Check
Request is then submitted for authorization. The refund check will be mailed to
the customer within 45 days after payoff and documented in the Borrower Notes
of the servicing system.


·                                          Posting Reversals: Payment Processors
reverse transactions for various reasons while using support documentation to
remain balanced. Reversal transactions appear on the customer(s) pay
history. All customers with reversals due to insufficient funds are sent a NSF
(Non-Sufficient Funds) notification letter and a copy of this letter is placed
in the customer(s) file. A fee is added automatically by the system for
all payment reversals due to NSF.


·                                          NSF/Placed for Collection: Payment
Processor provides a report of the NSF payments to the Collection Department
Supervisor.


·                                          Short Payoffs: When a payoff check is not
sufficient to payoff the account, a copy of the payoff quote is obtained to
verify the quote was given in writing and has not expired. The sender of the
check (Title Company, customer, etc.) is then contacted either by phone or
letter and advised that the check is not sufficient to payoff the account and
is given the remaining amount needed to payoff the account. After the funds
have been posted as a payment, an updated payoff quote is sent to the sender as
a confirmation of the shortage. When the shortage amount is received, it will
be processed as a payoff.


·                                          Charge Off / Non-Accrual Processing: By the 10th day
of the following month, all loans in excess of 120 day delinquent are to be
fully charged off. Loans are then status changed to inactive and the balances
are written off through the accounting department. All payments received post
chargeoff are posted as Credits to the loan loss reserve, if there is a cost
basis on the loan. If there is no cost basis all recoveries are credited to P/L
income

B.                                     Customer Service


 


1.                                       The objective of customer service is to
quickly respond to customer inquiries, resolve customer complaints and transfer
calls to the appropriate parties in such a manner that our customer will
mantain a high level of confidence in FCC. The customer service personnel are
to respond to all calls in a friendly, helpful manner. Customer Service
interfaces with all departments within the company.


2.                                       Procedures for Customer Service related
items are:


 


·                                          Incoming Calls: The customer service
representatives answer incoming calls. They respond to inquiries in a
professional and efficient manner to provide information requested or direct
the inquiry to the appropriate department or individual within FCC.


·                                          Customer service representatives are
responsible for incoming mail, requests for payoffs, requests for mortgage
verification, requests for payment histories, ordering coupons for existing
customer(s) and returned mail.


·                                          Payoff Quotes: System Generated
Calculations - A designated customer service representative is responsible for
handling all payoff quotes. Payoff quotes are provided in written form,
generated from the loan servicing system with a copy of the quote retained in
the customers file. All requests must bear the customer(s) written
authorization to release the information on their account. Payoff requests are
processed within forty-eight (48) hours. Notes are then entered by the customer
service representative


·                                          Mortgage Verifications: Customer service
handles all requests for mortgage verifications (VOM) . All requests must bear
the customer(s) written authorization to release the information on their
account. VOM’s are provided with a system-generated payment history. The VOM
will be sent to the customer(s) home address free of charge. VOM requests
by fax will be subject to a $ 15.00 processing fee. The customer(s) account
is documented when a VOM is prepared and sent.


·                                          Returned Mail: If mail is returned due to
an invalid address, the address is verified by checking the loan file. If the
address is incorrect, the address is corrected, the account is noted and the
item is sent back out to the borrower. If the address is correct and the
account is active a senior member of management is notified of the incorrect
address in order to determine the appropriate course of action. A note is made
to the account of the returned item.


·                                          Coupon Requests: Customer Service
Representative handles all coupon requests for existing customer(s). Once a
week the Coupon Report is generated for the appropriate date range so coupons
can be ordered for new loans originated and reoreders on existing loans. When
the report is complete it is sent via email to the external vendor who produces
the coupons and mails them directly to the customer(s).


·                                          Estoppel Letters: All acknowledged Estoppel letters
are received by a designated customer service representative who determines if
the letter is appropriately signed and scans the document to be inserted in the



 


34

















 


customer(s) file. All Estoppel letters returned
by lenders as “unable to identify an account” are researched by customer
service and re-submitted for completion and return.


·                                          Maintenance on Accounts: Maintenance
including address and phone number changes can only be input by authorized
personnel. High level changes (i.e. investor, due date or legal name change)
must be approved by management prior to any system change-taking place. Since
only a limited number of FCC employees have “file maintenance access” new data
must be requested by completion of a Service Request Form.  Authorized personnel will also make routine
audits to insure that system information is current and accurate.


 


C.                                     Records Management


 


1.                                       The purpose of the Records Department is
to maintain files on all customer(s) in a secure, controlled environment.
This department and its employees must interact with all FCC departments on a
daily basis.


2.                                       Procedures for the management of records:


 


·                                          All open customer copy files are
maintained on-site as scanned images. The Loan Servicing Department is
responsible for control of all loan files. FCC employees may view a file on the
active directory.


·                                          Workpapers include a computer printed
disbursement sheet, hand written disbursement worksheet, approval commitment,
copies of credit bureau report(s), documentation if loan required Underwriter

·                                          Paid in full loan files are also
maintained as scanned images.  Each
month, the File Administrator requests all loans that paid off during the prior
month be returned from the collateral agent. Copies of the “release of lien”
(if loan was secured) are scanned to the file. File clerks remove the scan file
from the active directory and transfer the files to the Paid in Full directory.


·                                          The original collateral documents are
maintained on site in secure fire proof file cabinets until transfer. Only

follows; Proceeds from the new loan are not to be used for debt consolidation,
and there is no cash given directly to the customer(s). Additionally, the new
loan amount must be of an equal or lesser amount (with the exception of
reasonable fees, costs and delinquent property taxes) than the original loan it
is replacing. FCC will not consider subordination if it negates their current
lien to a lower position (i.e. moves FCC lien from a 2nd to a 3rd position).


2.                                     When a subordination request is received,
the caller or correspondence is referred to a subordination processor. The
processor logs the request and sends the inquiring party a “Procedures
Regarding Subordination Requests” and a “Subordination Worksheet”. Upon receipt
of all required information, the package is referred to authorized management
for further review and/or final approval. The cashier is provided with the
processing fee and is responsible for maintaining the log and forwarding the
funds to the Accounting Department for deposit. If approved proper documents
executed and forwarded accordingly. Should the subordination be denied, a

d)                                     Orientation includes an initial meeting
with management to discuss responsibilities and expectations regarding
performance. This meeting also provides an opportunity to discuss any employee
questions pertaining to company policy or procedures.

COLLECTION PRACTICES & DISCIPLINES - The following procedures are required
when collecting accounts.


 


·                                          Telephone Collections: This is the primary method used for
collecting past due accounts. Acceptable call hours are from 8:00AM until
9:00PM within a specific calling area. Phone collection activity can commence
when the account becomes five (5) or more days past due and continue until
the delinquency is resolved.


 


a)                                    First attempt is to make contact at
residence.


 


b)                                   If unable to reach customer(s) at
residence, a call is placed to the debtor(s) place of employment or other
source of contact (unless notated differently, i.e. not to call at place of
employment).


 


c)                                    Collection calls are made at various
times of the day to insure maximum coverage.


 


d)                                   All collection efforts must be documented
on the Collection System. Once contact is made the reason for delinquency
should be documented in addition to verifying critical data and obtaining
payment or setting a promise date for payment.


 


·                                          Collection Guidelines: Delinquency is worked by category


 


0
to 30 Days Delinquent


 


a)                                    First late notice (Section 16 Exhibit LLL)
is system generated at 10 days delinquent on all accounts.


 


b)                                   Second late notice is system generated at
20 days delinquent on all accounts.


 


c)                                    The Account Representative will utilize
previous pay history to determine the approach for each account and determine
if a specific method or type of contact has been established to collect the
account. If the account reflects previous delinquency, then standard telephone
collection procedures should be followed. 


 


40

















 


Efforts should continue daily until contact is made and the account has
been set for payment or delinquency has been resolved.


 


d)                                     At 30-days past due, the Collection
Manager reviews the account and determines if a customized letter should be
sent (Section 16 Exhibit MMM). The Collection Manager during this
review may provide further instruction to the Account Representative in the
comment screen to assist in collection efforts. Examples of such instructions
may include ordering the file, field call or skip tracing.


 


31-Day
Plus Delinquent


 


a)                                      At 45 days past due, the Collection
Manager reevaluates the account offering suggestions, instruction and/to
determine if legal action is recommended, in such cases executive management
then reviews the account for approval.


 


b)                                     Based on this review and the Collection
Manager documents any additional instruction for the Account Representative to
ensure every effort has been made to resolve the delinquency.


 


·                                          Senior Lien Holder Contact: This avenue should only be used in the
event there is difficulty contacting the customer(s) or to verify the
status of the superior lien account. If the senior lien holder is in the
process of foreclosure, the account must be immediately referred to the
Collection Manager to determine the best course of action to protect FCC’s
security interest.


 


·                                          Skip Tracing: is used to establish alternative
methods of contact or to locate a customer(s) when no other means of
contact have been successful. The following are possible sources that may be
used to locate or contact the customer(s). The customer file and Accurint
(Accurate Report is an outside skip tracing system) (Section 16 Exhibit NNN)
will be required to accomplish this task.


 


a)                                      Credit Report — obtain a current credit
bureau report to search for any new creditors, inquiries or other pertinent
information.


 


b)                                     Internet — obtain any public information
listed on the internet that may assist locate a customer.


 


c)                                      Relatives, Friends and Co-Workers — may
be used for new information and usually have the most recent information
regarding the customer(s). However, this method of contact requires that NO
DISCLOSURE be made as to the purpose of the inquiry.


 


·                                          Field Calls: FCC uses an out source company for face
to face contact with the customer(s). This service can be used by completion of
the order form example in (Section 16 Exhibit OOO). Use of this
service requires Collection Manager 


 


41

















 


approval. If face to face contact is made, they will put the customer(s) on
the phone with the Account Representative. If unable to make personal contact
with customer(s), they will fax and mail a report with observational
information example in (Section 16 Exhibit PPP).


 


·                                          Judgment: This is a legal remedy available when a customer(s) refuse
to make voluntary efforts to resolve the delinquency. This action requires an
attorney and must be approved by the Collection Manager and the President.  This legal method of collection may allow
garnishment of wages or other assets depending on State and Federal laws in
affect where the customer(s) reside.


 


·                                          Settlement: This is a method to liquidate accounts that will
otherwise continue to affect delinquency and eventually become a charge
off.  Settlement can be used to recover
charged off accounts. This method of collection requires Executive Management
approval and is used when all other collection remedies have been exhausted
(i.e. no equity in FCC lien position, senior lien holder foreclosed, customer(s) declared
bankruptcy, etc.).


 


BANKRUPTCY - This is the legal method used by customer(s) to
liquidate or reorganize their debts. Once notification of bankruptcy is
received (either written or verbally) all standard collection activity must
cease. There are three stages in the Bankruptcy process; Pre-Bankruptcy,
Bankruptcy and Post-Bankruptcy:


 


1.                                       Pre-Bankruptcy:


 


Once FCC is notified that a
customer has retained an attorney for Bankruptcy, the account is placed in the
pre-bankruptcy queue and the following steps are taken:


 


a)                                    The attorney is immediately contacted to
verify the upcoming bankruptcy filing and is made aware of FCC being either a
secured or unsecured creditor. Potential case information is also obtained such
as chapter, intentions regarding property if secured, and the possibilities of
a reaffirmation.


b)                                   The account is constantly monitored.
Attorneys are called on a weekly or bi-weekly basis to obtain case information.


c)                                    Pacer is monitored closely for case
information.


d)                                   Once a bankruptcy case has been filed and
obtained, the account then goes into the second stage of the Bankruptcy
process.


 


2.                                       Bankruptcy: The accounts are segregated
by Chapters 7 or 13, all notifications and documents are then forwarded to the
attorney for appropriate action.


 


a)                                      Chapter 13 (Secured)


 


1.                                       All written notifications are sent to
attorney


 


42

















 


2.                                     Proof of claim and loan documents are
forwarded to attorney for proper filing


3.                                     Plan is then reviewed for appropriate
filing of secured claim for FCC under the plan


4.                                     Accounts are monitored for payments


5.                                     Trustees are contacted for payments being
made through the plan


6.                                     Debtor’s attorneys are contacted for
payments being made directly by debtor or payments in arrears post petition


7.                                     When permitted by the debtor’s attorneys,
customers are contacted for payments in arrears


8.                                     Payment reminders are sent to attorneys


9.                                     If the FCC is to be paid directly by the
trustee, the loan is monitored to ensure monthly payment is being sent by
trustee, if payments are missed Trustee is contacted for resolution


 


b)                                     Chapter 13 (Unsecured)


 


1.                                     All written notifications are sent to
attorney


2.                                     Proof of claim and loan documents are

Two Types of Disposition:


 


·                                          Reaffirmation: debtor intends to retain
possession of their home and continue making the regular monthly payment
according to the terms of the contract. 
Whenever possible, have the debtor and their attorney execute a Re-Affirmation
Agreement for filing with the court. Monitor for all payments according to the
servicing system due dates.


·                                          Surrender: debtor no longer wishes to
keep their home.  Typically, the debtor
surrenders their home to the mortgage lien holders.


 


3.                                       Post Bankruptcy


 


a)                                      Dismissal


 


·                                          Once the bankruptcy is dismissed, contact attorney and
trustee for confirmation of dismissal and continue collection of the account.

·                                          Secured: lien remains in place and debtor is to
continue payments as long as they intend to keep property


·                                          Unsecured: Collection efforts must cease as debt has
been discharged.


 


CHARGEOFF:


 


Purpose: The purpose for charging accounts to “profit
and loss” is to segregate nonperforming loans in order to obtain accurate
delinquency and to determine loan losses.


 


·                                          Account must be 121-days or more past due
or declared currently uncollectible prior to 120 day delinquency.

Section 14 - MIS—MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEMS


 


POLICY- The Company employs Information Systems personnel to
perform maintenance to FCC computer hardware and software, facilitate reports
as required by management and department heads, to ensure the accuracy of the
information provided and to conduct systems/data security. Information Systems
reports directly to the VP of Operations. The reports and data provided are
confidential / proprietary and the VP of Operations or Executive Management
must approve modifications, additions and/or release of information.


 


PROCEDURE -The IT department provides support to all
departments in the Company. Reports that have been approved may be generated on
an as-needed basis. All requests for additional reporting or formatting changes
must be submitted to the VP of Operations or President for approval and the IT
department will design and implement the changes as requested. A user testing
and approval signoff process is followed to ensure that IT meets the change
requirements.


 


IT is responsible for ensuring system/data security as
adopted by management. Backup of the company systems and records are currently
completed on a daily basis. Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 is used to maintain the
tape back up schedule and to monitor the success of the tape backup and
recovery process. Once the tape backup is verified as successful, the tape is
changed. This process is completed on a daily basis Monday thru Friday. The
previous week’s tape is sent off site to provide added security in the event of
fire or other catastrophic event. In total there are 20 backup tapes in the
current backup rotation (4 weeks), with a logical rotation of the 2 oldest
weeks of backups stored onsite, and the 2 most recent weeks of backups stored
offsite. A copy of the loan servicing system is burned onto CD-ROM at the end
of each month. For added recoverability a virtual (disk-to-disk) copy of the
loan servicing system is copied every 2-3 hours to a backup server.


 


Trend Micro Anti-virus is installed on the servers and
all desktops to protect the company from electronic terrorism. The server and
all desktops are configured to automatically check for updates and perform hard
drive scans once a day. In the event of a virus, Trend Micro’s website is
referenced for solutions in ending the threat to the company’s hardware and
software. A standard login script executes on each PC when employees logon to

service is running on the PC and that the signature file is up-to-date. As a
second layer of protection, the external web filter has a virus monitoring
feature in place as well. The external firewall and server log files are
checked monthly by IT to verify that security has not been breached. All
inbound email to FCC is first passed through a filtering system that scans and
removes virus and spam content before it enters the company network.


 


An APC backup power supply is utilized to ensure that
the server has a consistent power supply at all times. The battery backup will
provide the server with power for approximately 40 minutes.


 


In the event of a power loss, the server is properly
shut down within 40 minutes of the power outage. Proper shutdown will prevent
data loss/corruption.

Upon request from FCC, IT will perform database
maintenance as suggested by the vendor of the loan servicing software.
Maintenance includes re-indexing the database files and a cleanup of all
temporary files. There should be no users accessing the loan servicing software
while this process is being performed. Data loss and corruption will occur if
cleanup is performed while users are accessing the system.


 


Group policies in Active Directory are used to enforce
