                  "COLLATERAL VALUE OF THE FACILITY 1 BORROWING BASE" shall
         mean, at any time, the sum of the Collateral Value of the Facility 1

         shall mean, at the time of determination thereof, the aggregate
         collateral value of all Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loans and Eligible
         Mortgage-Backed Securities included in the Facility 1 Tranche A

         Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loan shall be an amount equal to
         ninety-eight percent (98%) of the current unpaid principal balance
         thereof, and (y) each Eligible Mortgage-Backed Security shall be an
         amount equal to ninety-eight percent (98%) of the face amount thereof;
         provided, that if the Agent, in its sole discretion, at any time
         believes that the collateral value of any Mortgage Loan or
         Mortgage-Backed Security included in the Facility 1 Tranche A Borrowing
         Base is greater than the Fair Market Value thereof, then the collateral
         value of any such Mortgage Loan or Mortgage-Backed Security shall,

         each Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loan, ninety-eight percent (98%) of

         Mortgage Loan and (ii) the current unpaid principal balance of such
         Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loan, and (II) in the case of each Eligible

         adding any Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loan or Eligible Mortgage-Backed
         Security to the Facility 1 Tranche A Borrowing Base in accordance with
         the Security Agreement, each Borrower shall be deemed to represent and

         Securities, each of the statements set forth in the definition of
         Eligible Gestation Mortgage Loan or Eligible Mortgage-Backed Security,
         as the case may be, is true and correct. If any such statement proves
         to be untrue or incorrect in any respect at any time, such then
         Mortgage Loan or Mortgage-Backed Security, as the case may be, shall be
         deemed to have no collateral value for purposes of computing the
         Collateral Value of the Facility 1 Tranche A Borrowing Base.

         shall mean, at the time of determination thereof, the aggregate
         collateral value of all Eligible Conforming Mortgage Loans and Eligible
         Non-Conforming Mortgage Loans included in the Facility 1 Tranche B
         Borrowing Base. For purposes hereof, the collateral value of (x) each
         Eligible Conforming Mortgage Loan shall be an amount equal to
         ninety-eight percent (98%) of the current unpaid principal balance
         thereof, and (y) each Eligible Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan shall be in
         an amount equal to ninety-five percent (95%) of the current unpaid
         principal balance thereof; provided that if the Agent, in its sole
         discretion, at any time believes that the collateral value of any
         Mortgage Loan included in the Facility 1 Tranche B Borrowing Base is
         greater than the Fair Market

         of the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of such Mortgage Loan and
         (ii) the current unpaid principal balance of such Mortgage Loan and
         (II) in the case of each Eligible Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan,
         ninety-five percent (95%) of the lesser of (i) the Fair Market Value of

         Agent absent any error in such Facility 1 Borrowing Base Certificate as

         of Eligible Conforming Mortgage Loan or Eligible Non-Conforming
         Mortgage Loan, as the case may be, is true and correct. If any such
         statement proves to be untrue or incorrect in any respect at any time,

         Borrowers to the Agent absent any error in such Facility 2 Tranche A
         Borrowing Base Certificate as of the date delivered. Notwithstanding
         the foregoing, no Eligible Servicing Receivable shall be deemed to have

         any advanced amount which is an Eligible Servicing Receivable by any
         Obligor or any other Person (including any Agency) and (y) to the

         Receivable is being contested or disputed by any applicable Agency or
         by any Person who could be liable for such reimbursement or by any
         other Person with standing to do so. By adding any Eligible Servicing
         Receivable to the Facility 2 Tranche A Borrowing Base in accordance
         with the Servicing Security Agreement, each Borrower shall be deemed to

Borrowing of Eurodollar Loans shall be in an aggregate principal amount of less
than $1,000,000.

         (b)      Without in any way limiting the Borrowers' obligation to
deliver to the Agent a copy of any written Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation, the Agent may act without liability upon the basis of
any telephonic Notice of Borrowing or Notice of Conversion/Continuation believed
by the Agent in good faith to be from an Authorized Officer prior to receipt of
written confirmation. In each such case, the Borrowers hereby waive the right to
dispute the Agent's record of the terms of such telephonic notice. An Authorized
Officer shall promptly confirm in writing any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation given by telephone.

         (c)      On the date of receipt of any Notice of Borrowing or Notice of
Conversion/Continuation), the Agent shall promptly give (and in any event by
1:00 p.m. (New York City time)) each Lender with a related Commitment
telefacsimile notice of each proposed Facility 1 Borrowing or Facility 2
Borrowing, such Lender's proportionate share thereof, each proposed conversion
or continuation and any other matters covered by the Notice of Borrowing or
Notice of Conversion/Continuation. The Agent shall not be required to notify any
Lender (other than Bankers Trust) of a Swing-Line Borrowing.

         (d)      Unless otherwise specified in a Notice of Borrowing, each Loan
to be made as part of a Facility 1 Borrowing shall be made as a Fed Funds Loan.
If a timely notice as specified in Section 2.2(a) is not received from the
Borrowers prior to the expiration of any Eurodollar Interest Period for any
outstanding Eurodollar Loan, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have irrevocably
elected to convert such Loan into a Fed Funds Loan. The Agent will endeavor to


<PAGE>   36

                                      -31-


notify the Borrowers prior to the expiration of any Eurodollar Interest Period
but shall have no liability for failure to provide such notice.

         (e)      By delivering a Notice of Conversion/Continuation to the Agent
hereunder of the continuation of any Eurodollar Loans for an additional
Eurodollar Interest Period or the conversion of any outstanding Loans to
Eurodollar Loans, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have represented and
warranted that no Potential Default or Event of Default has occurred and is
continuing.

SECTION 2.3       CONVERSIONS/CONTINUATIONS OF LOANS.

         (a)      Subject to the terms and conditions hereof and in accordance
with the procedures for conversions and continuations and the other provisions
set forth in Section 2.2, each Facility 1 Lender agrees to convert outstanding
Facility 1 Tranche B Loans that are Fed Funds Loans into Eurodollar Loans and
Eurodollar Loans into Fed Funds Loans and to continue Facility 1 Tranche B Loans
that are Eurodollar Loans for an additional Eurodollar Interest Period, in each
case in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed the principal amount of the
Fed Funds Loans or Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, being converted or
Eurodollar Loans, as the case may be, being continued; provided that no Lender
shall convert any Facility 1 Tranche B Loan into a Eurodollar Loan or continue
any Eurodollar Loan for an additional Eurodollar Interest Period if a Potential
Default or an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.

SECTION 2.4       DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS.

         (a)      No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of
each Facility 1 Borrowing and Facility 2 Borrowing, each Facility 1 Lender or
Facility 2 Lender, as the case may be, will make available to the Agent the full
amount of such Lender's pro rata share of such Borrowing, in immediately
available funds, by wire transfer of such funds to the Agent at the Payment
Office; provided, that pursuant to a Borrower's request set forth in a Notice of
Borrowing, the Facility 1 Lenders shall apply the proceeds of any Facility 1
Tranche A Borrowing directly to the repayment of outstanding Facility 1 Tranche
B Loans, without any exchange of funds. Unless the Agent determines that any
applicable condition in Article III has not been satisfied, the Agent shall make
the funds so received from the Lenders available to the Borrowers by wire
transfer of such funds to such account as the Borrowers through the Agent may
direct in writing for such purpose. If a Facility 1 Borrowing or a Facility 2
Borrowing does not occur on the requested date because any condition precedent
herein specified has not been satisfied, the Agent shall so notify the affected
Lenders promptly and shall return the amounts so received to the respective
Lenders.

         (b)      Unless the Agent has been notified by any Facility 1 Lender or
Facility 2 Lender, as the case may be, before 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on
the date of a proposed Facility 1 Borrowing or Facility 2 Borrowing, as the case
may be, that such Lender does not intend to make available to the Agent on such
date such Lender's portion of such Facility 1 Borrowing or Facility 2 Borrowing,
the Agent may assume that such Lender will make such amount available to the
Agent on such date and the Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) make
available to the Borrowers a corresponding amount. If such corresponding amount
is not in fact made available to the Agent by such Lender (a "DEFAULTING
LENDER") on such date, the Agent shall be entitled to


<PAGE>   37

                                      -32-


recover such corresponding amount on demand from such Defaulting Lender,
together with interest at the overnight Federal Funds Rate for each day until
paid. A Defaulting Lender shall be deemed to have assigned to the Agent the
right to receive any and all payments due to it in respect of the Obligations
until the sum of such payments received by the Agent is equal to the amount owed
to the Agent by such Defaulting Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence. The
foregoing assignment shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and
shall be absolute and irrevocable. Nothing in this subsection shall be deemed to
relieve any Lender from its obligation to fulfill its obligation to make Loans
hereunder or to prejudice any rights that the Borrowers, the Agent or any Lender
may have against any Defaulting Lender hereunder.

         (c)      No later than 3:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date of
each Swing-Line Borrowing, Bankers Trust shall, unless it has elected not to
make a Swing-Line Loan pursuant to the related Notice of Borrowing, or unless it
determines that any applicable condition in Article III has not been satisfied,
make the full amount of such Swing-Line Borrowing available to the Borrowers by
wire transfer of such funds such account as the Borrowers may direct in writing
for such purpose.

         (d)      No later than 12:00 noon (New York City time) on any Business
Day, the Agent shall, upon Bankers Trust's request, notify each Facility 1
Lender of the aggregate principal amount of Swing-Line Loans that are
outstanding and the amount of Facility 1 Loans required to be made by each
Facility 1 Lender (including Bankers Trust) to refinance such outstanding
Swing-Line Loans (which amount shall be equal to each Facility 1 Lender's pro
rata share of such outstanding Swing-Line Loan and which notice shall be deemed
automatically given upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under 6.1(h)).
Interest on the Swing-Line Loans being refinanced shall be payable by the
Borrowers in accordance with Section 2.6. Bankers Trust may request that the
Swing-Line Loans be refinanced pursuant to this Section 2.4(d) on any Business
Day.

         (e)      No later than 2:00 p.m. (New York City time) on each date that
the Agent gives notices to the Facility 1 Lenders of the refinancing of
Swing-Line Loans pursuant to Section 2.4(d), each Facility 1 Lender will make
available to the Agent for payment to Bankers Trust the full amount of such
Lender's pro rata share of the outstanding amount of Swing-Line Loans being
refinanced. All amounts made available to the Agent pursuant to this Section
2.4(e) (including Bankers Trust's pro rata share of such amounts) shall be
deemed Facility 1 Loans and shall be allocated to each Type of Facility 1 Loan
in the following order of priority to the extent that such allocation can be
made without breaching the provisions of Section 2.1 or causing a mandatory
repayment under Section 2.8(c): first, to Facility 1 Tranche A Loans; and
second, to Facility 1 Tranche B Loans. Each such Swing-Line Loan being
refinanced as a Facility 1 Loan shall be a Fed Funds Loan. The proceeds of
Facility 1 Loans made pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall be paid to the Agent
(and not to the Borrowers ) and then paid over by the Agent to Bankers Trust, to
be applied to the outstanding Swing-Line Loans. The Borrowers authorize the
Agent to charge any account maintained by the Borrowers with the Agent in order
to immediately pay the Agent the amount of such outstanding Swing-Line Loans, to
the extent amounts received from the Facility 1 Lenders are insufficient to
repay in full the outstanding Swing-Line Loans to be refinanced. If any portion
of any amount paid to the Agent by the Borrowers pursuant to this Section 2.4(e)
(other than any amounts received by the Agent pursuant to the preceding
sentence) should be recovered by or on behalf of the Borrowers from


<PAGE>   38

                                      -33-


the Agent or Bankers Trust in bankruptcy or otherwise, the loss of the amount so
recovered shall be ratably shared among all the Facility 1 Lenders. In the event
that a refinancing of the Swing-Line Loans cannot be made for any reason on any
date required by Bankers Trust, each Facility 1 Lender hereby agrees that it
shall immediately purchase from Bankers Trust (without recourse or warranty)
such assignment of the outstanding Swing-Line Loans as shall be necessary to
cause the Facility 1 Lenders to share in such Swing-Line Loans ratably based on
their respective pro rata Facility 1 Commitments; provided that all interest
payable on such Swing-Line Loans shall be for the account of Bankers Trust until
the date the respective assignment is purchased and, to the extent attributable
to the purchased assignment, shall be for the account of the Facility 1 Lender
purchasing the assignment from and after the date of such purchase. Each
Facility 1 Lender's obligation to make Facility 1 Loans or purchase assignments
pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) shall be absolute and unconditional and shall
not be affected by any circumstance, including, without limitation, (1) any
setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, defense or other right that such Facility 1
Lender may have against the Agent, Bankers Trust, any Lender, the Borrowers or
any other Person for any reason whatsoever; (2) the occurrence or continuance of
a Potential Default or Event of Default; (3) any adverse change in the condition
(financial or otherwise) of the Borrowers; (4) any breach of this Agreement or
any other Loan Document by the Borrowers, the Agent or any Lender; or (5) any
other circumstance, happening or event whatsoever, whether or not similar to any
of the foregoing; provided that in no event shall a Facility 1 Lender be
obligated to make a Facility 1 Loan pursuant to this Section 2.4(e) if after
giving effect thereto, the outstanding principal amount of such Facility 1
Lender's Facility 1 Loans plus its pro rata share of any Swing-Line Loans
remaining outstanding would exceed its Facility 1 Commitment. If any Lender
fails to make the full amount of its Facility 1 Loan available to the Agent
pursuant to this Section 2.4(e), Bankers Trust shall be entitled to recover such
corresponding amount on demand from such Lender together with interest for each
day until paid at the overnight Fed Funds Rate. Such Lender shall be deemed to
have assigned to Bankers Trust the right to receive any and all payments due to
it in respect of the Obligations until the sum of such payments received by the
Agent and paid over to Bankers Trust is equal to the amount owed to Bankers
Trust by such Lender pursuant to the preceding sentence. The foregoing
assignment shall be deemed to be a power coupled with an interest and shall be
absolute and irrevocable.

         (f)      No Lender shall be responsible for any default by any other
Lender in its obligation to make Loans hereunder, and each Lender shall be
obligated to make the Loans on the terms set forth herein, regardless of the
failure of any other Lender to fulfill its obligations hereunder. If any
Facility 1 Lender fails to make available its pro rata share of any Facility 1
Borrowing or any Facility 2 Lender fails to make available its pro rata share of
any Facility 2 Borrowing (and the Agent does not advance such Lender's share to
the Borrowers pursuant to subsection (b) above), then the Borrowers may, subject
to all of the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 2.1 and 2.2, make
additional Facility 1 Borrowings or Facility 2 Borrowings, as the case may be,
hereunder to cover the unfunded share of the original Facility 1 Borrowing or
Facility 2 Borrowing.

SECTION 2.5       NOTES.

         (a)      Each Borrower's joint and several obligation to pay the
principal of and interest on the Facility 1 Loans made by each Facility 1 Lender

the related Type from such Lender, each payment and prepayment of principal of
any such Loan, each payment of interest on any such Loan, and applicable
interest rates and Eurodollar Interest Periods and other information with
respect thereto, and any such recordation shall absent manifest error constitute
prima facie evidence of the accuracy of the information so recorded; provided
that the failure of any Lender to make such a notation or any error therein

each Facility 1 Lender a facility fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.16% on the
amount of such Lender's Facility 1 Commitment (whether used or unused). The
Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the account of each Facility 2 Lender a
facility fee at a rate per annum equal to 0.20% on the amount of such Lender's
Facility 2 Commitment (whether used or unused). Such fees shall be deemed to be
earned in full upon the Amendment Effective Date and shall be payable in advance
on the Amendment Effective Date and thereafter in quarterly installments on the
last Business Day of each March, June, September and December, commencing June
30, 1999; provided that if the Facility 1 Commitments or the Facility 2
Commitments are terminated at any time prior to the Maturity Date, each
remaining unpaid quarterly installment of the respective fees shall be paid in
full on the date of such termination.

         (b)      The Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent, for its own account,
an agency fee in the amount and on the dates separately agreed to by the Agent
and the Borrowers.

         (c)      In respect of any Loan which was originally made as a Facility
1 Tranche A Loan and which, after a completed review by the Collateral Agent of
the relevant Mortgage Loans included in the Facility 1 Tranche A Borrowing Base
and the relevant documentation executed in connection therewith, should have
constituted for any period a Facility 1 Tranche B Loan because the Collateral
related thereto did not satisfy the Facility 1 Tranche A Borrowing Base
requirements, the Borrowers agree to pay to the Agent for the account of each of
the Facility 1 Lenders, a gestation collateral reconciliation fee in an amount
equal to the difference between (i) the interest payable hereunder in respect of
such Loan had it been determined to be a Facility 1 Tranche B Loan for such
period and (ii) the interest paid hereunder during such period in respect of
such Loan as a Facility 1 Tranche A Loan. Such fee shall be payable promptly
after delivery of notice by the Agent to the Borrowers of the amount owing.

<PAGE>   43

                                      -38-


         (d)      The fees set forth in this Section 2.10, once paid, shall not
be refundable under any circumstances.

SECTION 2.11      PAYMENTS, ETC.

         (a)      Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all payments
by the Borrowers under this Agreement shall be made without defense, set-off or
counterclaim to the Agent not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the
date when due, it being expressly agreed and understood that if a payment is
received after 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) by the Agent, such payment will be
deemed to have been made on the next succeeding Business Day and interest
thereon shall be payable at the then applicable rate during such extension;
provided that if the Agent receives the federal wire confirmation number with
respect to such payment before 1:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the date when
such payment is due, and the payment is actually received and credited for value
to the appropriate account at Bankers Trust before the close of business on such
due date, then the payment will be deemed to be made on such due date. All
payments hereunder shall be made in U.S. Dollars in immediately available funds
at the Payment Office. The Agent will promptly after receipt of each such
payment (and in any event by the close of business on the day on which such
funds are received or deemed to have been received) distribute funds in the form
received relating to the payment of (i) principal or interest on any Type of
Loan to the Lenders with Loans of the corresponding Type ratably in accordance
with the aggregate principal amount of the Loans of such Type of such Lenders,
(ii) Fees (other than the agency fee set forth in Section 2.10(b)) with respect
to any Type of Commitment ratably to Lenders with Commitments of the
corresponding Type, and (iii) any other amount payable to any Lender to such
Lender.

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

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

         (d)      Prior to the maturity of the Facility 1 Loans and Swing-Line
Loans (whether upon acceleration, upon any date that the Facility 1 Commitments
are terminated pursuant to Section 2.7(a), or otherwise), all amounts received

SECTION 2.12      EURODOLLAR RATE NOT DETERMINABLE; ILLEGALITY OR IMPROPRIETY.

         (a)      In the event, and on each occasion, that on or before the day
on which the Eurodollar Rate for a Facility 1 Borrowing that is to include
Eurodollar Loans is to be determined, the Agent has determined in good faith
that the Eurodollar Rate cannot be determined for any reason, the Agent shall,
as soon as practicable thereafter, give written notice of such determination to
the Borrowers and the Lenders. Upon any such determination, any request by the
Borrowers for a Eurodollar Loan pursuant to Section 2.2 shall, until the Agent
has advised the Borrowers and the Lenders that the circumstances giving rise to
such notice no longer exist, be deemed to be a request for a Fed Funds Loan.
Each determination by the Agent hereunder shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error.

         (b)      If any Lender determines at any time that the introduction of,
or any change in, any applicable law, rule, regulation, order or decree or in
the interpretation or the administration thereof by any Governmental Authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such
Lender with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of
any such Governmental Authority, shall make it unlawful or improper for such
Lender to make, maintain or fund any Eurodollar Loan as contemplated by this
Agreement, then such Lender shall immediately give notice thereof to the Agent
and the Borrowers describing such illegality or impropriety in reasonable
detail. Effective thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice (or effective
upon such earlier date as required by such Governmental Authority), the
obligation of such Lender to make Eurodollar Loans shall be suspended for the
duration of such illegality or impropriety and, if and when such illegality or
impropriety ceases to exist, such suspension shall cease and such Lender shall
notify the Agent and the Borrowers thereof. If any such change makes it unlawful
or improper for any Lender to maintain any Eurodollar Loan, such Lender shall,
upon the happening of such event, notify the Agent and the Borrowers thereof,
and the Borrowers shall immediately, or if permitted by applicable law, rule,
regulation, order, decree, interpretation, request or directive, no later than
the date permitted thereby, convert each such Eurodollar Loan into a Fed Funds
Loan. If any Lender notifies the Agent and the Borrowers pursuant to this
Section 2.12(b) that it is unlawful or improper for such Lender to make or
maintain Eurodollar Loans but no other Lenders give similar notices, then the
Borrowers may require such Lender to sell, pursuant to Section 8.6(c) all of its
outstanding Loans and Commitments to another Lender (if any other Lender agrees,
in its sole and absolute discretion, to purchase such Loans and Commitments) or
to any other financial institution reasonably acceptable to the Agent that is
willing to make and maintain Eurodollar Loans.

SECTION 2.13      RESERVE REQUIREMENTS; CHANGE IN CIRCUMSTANCES.

         (a)      Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if after the date
of this Agreement any change in applicable law or regulation or in the
interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental Authority charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the
force of law) imposes any tax on or changes the basis of taxation of payments to
any Lender of the principal of or interest on any Eurodollar Loan made by such
Lender or any Fees or other amounts payable hereunder (other than taxes imposed
on the overall net income of such Lender by the jurisdiction in which such
Lender has its principal office or by any political subdivision or taxing
authority therein), or imposes, modifies or deems applicable any reserve,
special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for
the account of or credit extended by such Lender (except any such reserve
requirement that is reflected in the Eurodollar Rate) or imposes on such Lender
any other condition affecting this Agreement or Eurodollar Loans, and the result
of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Lender of making or
maintaining any Eurodollar Loan or to reduce the amount of any sum received or
receivable by such Lender hereunder (whether of principal, interest, fee or
otherwise) in respect thereof by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,
then the Borrowers shall pay to such Lender such additional amount or amounts as
will compensate such Lender for such additional costs incurred or reduction
suffered. Any amount or amounts payable by the Borrowers to any Lender in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 2.13(a) shall be paid by the
Borrowers to such Lender within ten (10) Business Days of receipt by the
Borrowers from such Lender of a statement setting forth in reasonable detail the
amount or amounts due and the basis for the determination from time to time of
such amount or amounts, which statement shall be conclusive and binding absent
manifest error.

         (b)      If any Lender has determined that the adoption after the date
hereof of any applicable law, rule or regulation regarding capital adequacy, or
any change therein, or any change in the interpretation or administration
thereof by any Governmental Authority, central bank or comparable agency charged
with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Lender
(or any lending office of such Lender, as the case may be) or by the holding
company of such Lender, as the case may be, with any request or directive
regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) of any such
authority, central bank or comparable agency, has the effect of reducing the
rate of return on such Lender's capital or on the capital of such Lender's
holding company, as the case may be, as a consequence of such Lender's
obligations under the Loan Documents to a level below that which such Lender or
such Lender's holding company, as the case may be, could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration such Lender's
policies or such Lender's holding company's policies, as the case may be, with
respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Lender to be material,
then from time to time, the Borrowers shall reimburse such Lender or such
Lender's holding company, as the case may be, for such reduction. Any amount or
amounts payable by the Borrowers to any Lender in accordance with the provisions
of this Section 2.13(b) shall be paid by the Borrowers to such Lender within ten
(10) Business Days of receipt by the Borrowers from such Lender of a statement
setting forth in reasonable detail the amount or amounts due and the basis for
the determination from time to time of such amount or amounts, which statement
shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

<PAGE>   48

                                      -43-


         (c)      Each Lender agrees to use reasonable efforts to change its
lending office to avoid or minimize (i) any amounts that might otherwise be
payable to such Lender pursuant to this Section 2.13 or pursuant to Section 2.15
or (ii) the effect of any event referred to in Section 2.12(b); provided that
such efforts or change shall not cause the imposition on such Lender of any
additional cost or legal, regulatory or administrative burdens deemed by such
Lender, in its sole discretion, to be material.

         (d)      Failure on the part of any Lender to demand compensation for
any increased costs or reduction in amounts received or receivable or reduction
in return on capital with respect to any period shall not constitute a waiver of
such Lender's right to demand compensation with respect to such period or any
other period. The protection of this Section 2.13(d) shall be available to any
Lender regardless of any possible contention of the invalidity or
inapplicability of the law, rule, regulation, guideline or other change or
condition that shall have occurred or been imposed.

SECTION 2.14      INDEMNITY.

         (a)      The Borrowers shall indemnify and hold harmless each Lender
against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs,
charges and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) that such Lender
actually sustains or incurs as a consequence of (i) any failure by the Borrowers
to fulfill on the Amendment Effective Date or on the date of any Borrowing
hereunder the applicable conditions set forth in Article III, (ii) any failure
by the Borrowers to borrow any Eurodollar Loan hereunder, to convert any Loan
into a Eurodollar Loan or to continue any Eurodollar Loan for an additional
Eurodollar Interest Period, after irrevocable notice of such borrowing,
conversion or continuation has been given pursuant to Section 2.2, (iii) any
payment, prepayment or conversion of a Eurodollar Loan required by any provision
of this Agreement or otherwise made on a date other than the last day of the
Eurodollar Interest Period applicable thereto or required by the Loan Documents
to be made on a date other than the maturity date applicable thereto, (iv) any
default in payment or prepayment of the principal amount of any Eurodollar Loan
or any part thereof or interest accrued thereon, as and when due and payable (at
the due date thereof, by irrevocable notice of prepayment or otherwise), or (v)
the occurrence of any Event of Default, including, in each such case, any loss
or reasonable expense sustained or incurred in liquidating or employing deposits
from third parties acquired to effect or maintain such Eurodollar Loan or any
part thereof as a Eurodollar Loan. Such loss or reasonable expense shall include
but not be limited to an amount equal to the excess, if any, as reasonably
determined by such Lender, of (A) its cost of obtaining the funds for the
Eurodollar Loan being paid, prepaid or converted or not borrowed, converted or
continued (based on the Eurodollar Rate applicable thereto) for the period from
the date of such payment, prepayment, conversion or failure to borrow, convert
or continue to the last day of the Eurodollar Interest Period, as the case may
be, for such Loan (or, in the case of a failure to borrow, convert, or continue
the Eurodollar Interest Period, as the case may be, for such Loan that would
have commenced on the date of such failure to borrow, convert or continue) over
(B) the amount of interest (as reasonably determined by such Lender) that would
be realized by such Lender in re-employing the funds so paid, prepaid or
converted or not borrowed, converted or continued for such period or Eurodollar
Interest Period, as the case may be. A certificate of any Lender setting forth
in reasonable detail any amount or amounts which such Lender is entitled to
receive

<PAGE>   49

                                      -44-


pursuant to this Section 2.14 shall be delivered to the Borrowers and shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error.

         (b)      Nothing in this Section is intended to limit the reimbursement
obligation of the Borrowers contained elsewhere in this Agreement. The
obligations of the Borrowers under this Section shall survive the termination of
this Agreement.

SECTION 2.15      TAXES.

                  All payments made by the Borrowers under this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction
or withholding for or on account of, any present or future income, stamp or
other taxes, levies, imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions or withholdings,
now or hereafter imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any
Governmental Authority, excluding, in the case of the Agent, the Collateral
Agent and each Lender, net income taxes and franchise taxes (imposed in lieu of
net income taxes) imposed on the Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender, as
the case may be, as a result of a present or former connection between the
jurisdiction of the government or taxing authority imposing such tax and the
Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender (excluding a connection arising
solely from the Agent, the Collateral Agent or such Lender having executed,
delivered, performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced,
this Agreement or the other Loan Documents) or any political subdivision or
taxing authority thereof or therein (all such non-excluded taxes, levies,
imposts, duties, charges, fees, deductions and withholdings being hereinafter
called "TAXES"). If any Taxes are required to be withheld from any amounts
payable to the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any Lender hereunder or under
other Loan Documents, the amounts so payable to the Agent, the Collateral Agent
or such Lender shall be increased to the extent necessary to yield to the Agent,
the Collateral Agent or such Lender (after payment of all Taxes) interest or any
such other amounts payable hereunder at the rates or in the amounts specified in
this Agreement and the other Loan Documents. Whenever any Taxes are payable by
the Borrowers, as promptly as possible thereafter the Borrowers shall send to
the Agent for its own account or for the account of the Collateral Agent or such
Lender, as the case may be, a certified copy of an original official receipt
received by the Borrowers showing payment thereof. If the Borrowers fail to pay
any Taxes when due to the appropriate taxing authority or fails to remit to the
Agent the required receipts or other required documentary evidence, the
Borrowers shall indemnify the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Lenders for
any incremental taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable by the
Agent, any Collateral Agent or any Lender as a result of any such failure. The
agreements in this subsection shall survive the termination of this Agreement
and the payment of the Notes and all other amounts payable under the Loan
Documents.

SECTION 2.16      SHARING OF SETOFFS.

                  Each Lender agrees that if it shall, through the exercise of a
right of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim against the Borrowers, or
pursuant to a secured claim under Section 506 of Title 11 of the United States
Code or other security or interest arising from, or in lieu of, such secured
claim, received by such Lender under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law or otherwise, or by any other means, obtain payment (voluntary
or involuntary) in respect of any Obligation as a result of which the unpaid
portion of its Obligations shall be


<PAGE>   50

                                      -45-


proportionately less than the unpaid portion of the Obligations of any other
Lender, it shall simultaneously purchase from such other Lender at face value a
participation in the Obligations of such other Lender, so that the aggregate
unpaid amount of the Obligations and such participations in Obligations held by
each Lender shall be in the same proportion to the aggregate unpaid amount of
all Obligations then outstanding as the amount of its Obligations prior to such
exercise of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event was to the
principal amount of all Obligations outstanding prior to such exercise of
banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim or other event; provided, that if any such
purchase or purchases or adjustments are made pursuant to this Section 2.16 and
the payment giving rise thereto is thereafter recovered, such purchase or
purchases or adjustments shall be rescinded to the extent of such recovery and
the purchase price or prices or adjustments restored without interest. The
Borrowers expressly consent to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any
Lender holding a participation in an Obligation deemed to have been so purchased
may exercise any and all rights of banker's lien, setoff or counterclaim with
respect to any and all moneys owing by the Borrowers to such Lender by reason
thereof as fully as if such Lender had made a loan directly to the Borrowers in
the amount of such participation.

Lien upon the Servicing Portfolio or any rights relating


<PAGE>   67

                                      -62-


thereto, including, without limitation, any rights to receive payments in

reimbursement of principal and interest advances, taxes and insurance advances
and any other servicing advances).

         (o)      Recourse Obligations. In the case of DFC, without the prior
written consent of the Agent, acting at the direction of the Required Lenders,
enter into any transaction whereby (i) DFC sells Mortgage-Backed Securities or
Mortgage Loans and remains obligated to repurchase (whether conditionally or
unconditionally) such Mortgage-Backed Securities or Mortgage Loans or has
retained other recourse obligations with respect thereto, or (ii) DFC assumes or
otherwise incurs recourse obligations with respect to Mortgage-Backed Securities
or Mortgage Loans included in its Servicing Portfolio, if, in either case, in
the reasonable judgment of the management of DFC, the aggregate obligations of
DFC in connection with such transaction and all previous transactions of the
type described in clauses (i) and (ii) above for which DFC is then obligated
could, if DFC is required to perform such obligations, result in a decrease in
DFC's Book Net Worth by a Material Amount.

SECTION 5.3       ADDITIONAL NEGATIVE COVENANTS.

                  Each Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that, as long as any
Obligations remain unpaid or any Lender has any Commitment hereunder, such
Borrower shall not at any time, directly or indirectly:

         (a)      Total Liabilities. Permit DFC on a consolidated basis
(excluding any Subsidiaries that are not primarily engaged primarily in the
business of mortgage banking as reasonably determined by the Agent) to incur
Total Liabilities in excess of the sum of (i) one hundred percent (100%) of
"Cash" or "Cash equivalents"; (ii) ninety-five percent (95%) of the sum of
"Mortgage Loans held for sale", "Mortgage-backed securities held for trading"
(but excluding "interest only securities" included therein), and "Securities
available for sale"; (iii) ninety percent (90%) of "Accrued interest
receivable"; (iv) ninety percent (90%) of "Securities held to maturity" provided
that such securities are tax-exempt investments for the Borrowers, including
GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC mortgage-backed securities, collateralized mortgage
obligations that are backed by GNMA, FNMA or FHLMC mortgage-backed securities
and are rated AAA by Standard & Poor's Corporation and by Moody's Investors
Service, and securities issued by the United States Treasury or an agency of the
United States Government; (v) eighty percent (80%) of "prepaid and other assets"
(excluding investment in any Subsidiary of either Borrower) and mortgage-backed
securities that are not tax-exempt and rated AAA by Standard & Poor's
Corporation and by Moody's Investors Service (including collateralized mortgage
obligations); (vi) fifty percent (50%) of the sum of (A) "Property, leasehold
improvements and equipment" and (B) "Real estate held for sale"; (vii)
sixty-five percent (65%) of "interest only securities"; (viii) one percent
(1.0%) of the principal amount of Mortgage Loans owned by Persons not affiliated
with DFC or DMC or any of their Affiliates (unless covered by a Permitted
Affiliate Servicing Agreement) for which DFC or DMC owns the direct servicing
rights (excluding subservicing); and (ix) eighty percent (80%) of "loans
receivable". All quoted terms used in the preceding sentence shall have the same
meanings, and shall continue to be calculated and classified in the same manner,
as the terms used in the statement of financial condition of DFC and its
consolidated Subsidiaries referred to in Section 4.4(a).

$4,000,000,000 or such lesser amount as shall be agreed by the Lenders in their
sole discretion.

or perform any covenant or agreement contained in Sections 5.1(b)(i), 5.1(f),

to the existence of an involuntary Lien on the Collateral or the Servicing
Collateral (other than an involuntary Lien expressly permitted by Section
5.2(a)) shall not constitute an Event of Default until thirty (30) days after
the imposition thereof if at all times during such thirty (30) day period the

shall fail to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in Sections
5.1(a), 5.1(b)(ii) or 5.1(c)(ii), and such failure shall remain unremedied for
seven (7) Business Days after oral notice thereof to an Authorized Officer
(which shall be confirmed in writing (which may be by facsimile) before the end
of such seven (7) Business Day period);

         (d)      Covenants With Thirty Day Grace Period. The Borrowers shall
fail to observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in any Loan
Document, other than those referred to in Sections 6.1(a), (b) or (c), and, if
capable of being remedied, such failure shall remain unremedied for thirty (30)
days after the earlier of (i) either Borrower's obtaining knowledge thereof or
(ii) notice thereof shall have been given to an Authorized Officer by any Lender
or the Agent before the end of such thirty (30) day period); provided that if
such failure is capable of


<PAGE>   69

                                      -64-


being remedied but only in a period of more than thirty (30) days, then such
failure shall not constitute an Event of Default until sixty (60) days after the
earlier of the above dates if each Borrower is making a diligent effort by
appropriate means to observe or perform such covenant and there is otherwise no
Material Adverse Effect as a result of such delay;

         (e)      Representations. Any representation, warranty or statement
made or deemed to be made by either Borrower or any of their respective officers
under or in connection with any Loan Document shall have been inaccurate,
incomplete or incorrect in any respect when made or deemed to be made and such
inaccuracy, incompleteness or incorrectness could have a Material Adverse
Effect;

         (g)      Defaults Under Other Agreements. Either Borrower shall fail to
observe or perform any covenant or agreement contained in any agreement or
instrument relating to any of its Indebtedness (other than the Obligations) in
excess of the Material Amount in the aggregate within any applicable grace
period, or any other event shall occur if the effect of such failure or other
event is to accelerate, or to permit the holder of such Indebtedness or any
other Person to accelerate, the maturity of such Indebtedness; or any such
Indebtedness shall be required to be prepaid (other than by a regularly
scheduled required prepayment) in whole or in part prior to its stated maturity;

         (h)      Bankruptcy. Either Borrower shall commence a voluntary case
concerning itself under Title 11 of the United States Code entitled "Bankruptcy"
as now or hereafter in effect, or any successor thereto (the "BANKRUPTCY CODE");
or any involuntary case is commenced against either Borrower and the petition is
not dismissed within sixty (60) days after commencement of the case; or a
custodian (as defined in the Bankruptcy Code) is appointed for, or takes charge
of, all or any substantial part of the property of either Borrower; or either

shall not be effectively stayed or deferred (whether by action of a court, by
agreement or otherwise);

received by the plan administrator of a Plan that the PBGC has instituted

termination of, or the appointment of a trustee to administer, any Plan; (v) the
Borrowers or any ERISA Affiliate shall withdraw from a Multiemployer Plan under
circumstances that the Required Lenders determine could have a material adverse
effect on the financial condition of either Borrower; and in case of the

any, could subject either Borrower to any tax, penalty or other liabilities in
the aggregate material in relation to the business, operations, property or

         (k)      Loan Documents. Any of the Loan Documents shall cease for any
reason to be in full force and effect, a breach by the Borrowers under any of

shall occur, the Commitments shall terminate and all Obligations shall become
immediately due and payable automatically without the giving of any such notice
and without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, all of
which are hereby waived by the Borrowers.

SECTION 7.1       APPOINTMENT OF AGENT.

                  Each Lender hereby designates Bankers Trust Company as Agent

authorize, the Agent to take such action on



<PAGE>   71

                                      -66-


its behalf under the provisions of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents
and any other instruments and agreements referred to herein or therein and to
exercise such powers and to perform such duties hereunder or thereunder as are
specifically delegated to or required of the Agent by the terms hereof and
thereof and such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The Agent
may perform any of its duties hereunder or thereunder by or through its agents
or employees.

SECTION 7.2       NATURE OF DUTIES OF AGENT.

                  The Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except
those expressly set forth in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents.
Neither the Agent nor any of its officers, directors, employees or agents shall
be liable for any action taken or omitted hereunder or thereunder or in
connection herewith or therewith, unless caused by its or their gross negligence
or wilful misconduct as evidenced by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The duties of the Agent shall be mechanical and administrative in
nature; the Agent shall not have by reason of this Agreement or any other Loan
Document a fiduciary relationship in respect of any Lender; and nothing in this
Agreement or any other Loan Document, express or implied, is intended to or
shall be so construed as to impose upon the Agent any obligations in respect of
this Agreement or any other Loan Document except as expressly set forth herein
or therein.

SECTION 7.3       LACK OF RELIANCE ON AGENT.

         (a)      Independently and without reliance upon the Agent, each
Lender, to the extent it deems appropriate, has made and shall continue to make
(i) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of
each Borrower and its Affiliates in connection with the taking or not taking of
any action in connection herewith and (ii) its own appraisal of the
creditworthiness of each Borrower and its Affiliates, and, except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, the Agent shall have no duty or responsibility,
either initially or on a continuing basis, to provide any Lender with any credit
or other information with respect thereto, whether coming into its possession
before the making of the Loans or at any time or times thereafter.

         (b)      The Agent shall not be responsible to any Lender for any
recitals, statements, information, representations or warranties herein or in
any document, certificate or other writing delivered in connection with this
Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the execution, effectiveness,
genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectibility, priority or sufficiency
of this Agreement or any other Loan Document or for the sufficiency of the
Collateral or the Servicing Collateral or the validity, perfection or priority
of any security interest in the Collateral or the Servicing Collateral or the
financial condition of each Borrower or its Affiliates or be required to make
any inquiry concerning either the performance or observance of any of the terms,
provisions or conditions of this Agreement or any other Loan Document, or the
financial condition of each Borrower or its Affiliates, or the existence or
possible existence of any Potential Default or Event of Default.

SECTION 7.4       CERTAIN RIGHTS OF AGENT.

                  If the Agent shall request instructions from the Required
Lenders, the Required Facility 1 Lenders or the Required Facility 2 Lenders with
respect to any act or action (including

<PAGE>   72

                                      -67-


the failure to act) in connection with this Agreement or any other Loan
Document, the Agent shall be entitled to refrain from such act or taking such
action unless and until the Agent shall have received instructions from the
Required Lenders, the Required Facility 1 Lenders or the Required Facility 2
Lenders, as the case may be; and the Agent shall not incur liability to any
Lender by reason of so refraining. Without limiting the foregoing, no Lender
shall have any right of action whatsoever against the Agent as a result of the
Agent acting or refraining from acting hereunder or under any other Loan
Document in accordance with the instructions of the Required Lenders, the
Required Facility 1 Lenders or the Required Facility 2 Lenders, as the context
may require. The provisions of this Section 7.4 are not intended to supersede
the provisions of Section 8.2 that require all of the Lenders to approve certain
actions under the Loan Documents.

SECTION 7.5       RELIANCE BY AGENT.

                  The Agent shall be entitled to rely, and shall be fully
protected in relying, upon any notice, believed by it to be genuine and correct
and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person. The Agent may
consult with legal counsel (including with the consent of DFC, which consent
shall not be unreasonably withheld, counsel for DFC or DMC), independent public
accountants (including those retained by DFC or DMC if a representative of DFC
or DMC, as applicable, shall have been given the right upon reasonable notice to
be present by phone or in person during such consultation) and other experts
selected by it and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be
taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel,
accountants or experts.

SECTION 7.6       INDEMNIFICATION OF AGENT.

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

SECTION 7.7       AGENT IN ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY.

                  With respect to its obligation to lend under this Agreement,
the Loans made by it and the Notes issued to it, the Agent shall have the same
rights and powers hereunder as any other Lender or holder of a Note and may
exercise the same as though it were not performing the duties specified herein;
and the terms "Lenders," "Required Lenders," "Required Facility 1 Lenders,"
"Required Facility 2 Lenders", "holders of Notes" or any similar terms shall,
unless the context clearly otherwise indicates, include the Agent in its
individual capacity. The Agent may


<PAGE>   73

                                      -68-


accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of
banking, trust, financial advisory or other business with each Borrower or any
Affiliate of the Borrowers as if it were not performing the duties specified
herein, and may accept fees and other consideration from the Borrowers and any
Affiliates of the Borrowers for services in connection with this Agreement and
the other Loan Documents and otherwise without having to account for the same to
the Lenders.

SECTION 7.8       HOLDERS OF NOTES.

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

SECTION 7.9       SUCCESSOR AGENT.

         (a)      The Agent may resign as Agent hereunder at any time by giving
written notice thereof to the Lenders and the Borrowers if (i) it believes that
its duties hereunder present an actual or potential conflict of interest with
any other business of the Agent or (ii) it determines at any time that the
introduction of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule, regulation, order
or decree or in the interpretation or administration thereof by any Governmental
Authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance by the Agent with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such Authority, shall make it unlawful or improper for the
Agent to continue as Agent hereunder. Upon any such resignation or any removal
of the Agent pursuant to Section 7.9(b), the Required Lenders shall have the
right, upon five (5) days' notice to the Borrowers, to appoint a successor
Agent, which shall be a Lender. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed by the Required Lenders, and shall have accepted such appointment,
within thirty (30) days after the retiring Agent's giving of notice of
resignation, then, upon five (5) days' notice to the Borrowers, the retiring
Agent may, on behalf of the Lenders, appoint a successor Agent, which shall be a
bank which maintains an office in the United States, or a commercial bank
organized under the laws of the United States of America or of any State
thereof, or any Affiliate of such bank, having a combined capital and surplus of
at least $250,000,000.

         (b)      The Agent may be removed by the unanimous vote of all the
Lenders hereunder (not including the vote of the Agent if the Agent is also a
Lender hereunder) if (i) the Agent has engaged in wilful misconduct with respect
to its obligations and duties hereunder as evidenced by a final judgment of a
court of competent jurisdiction and (ii) has failed to cure such wilful
misconduct after sixty (60) days notice by the Lenders to the Agent of such
wilful misconduct.

         (c)      Any resignation or removal of the Agent hereunder shall be
effective only upon the acceptance of any appointment as Agent hereunder by a
successor Agent. Upon such acceptance, such successor Agent shall succeed to and
become vested with all the rights, powers, privileges and duties of the retiring

                                   ARTICLE 8
                            MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

SECTION 8.1       NOTICES.

         (a)      Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, all notices,
requests and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing
(including telecopy or similar teletransmission or writing) and shall be given
to such party at its address or telecopy number set forth on Exhibit I hereto or
such other address or telecopy number as such party may hereafter specify by
notice to the Agent and the Borrowers. Each such notice, request or other
communication shall be effective (a) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is
transmitted to the telecopy number specified herein and the receipt thereof is
confirmed by the recipient or (b) if sent by overnight courier (with all charges

not be effective until received.

         (b)      Any notice required to be given to one or more Borrowers
hereunder or under any other Loan Document shall be effective if delivered to
DFC, it being the intent that notice to DFC is effective notice to both
Borrowers. In connection therewith, DMC hereby irrevocably appoints DFC as its
agent to receive any and all notices hereunder and under any other Loan Document
and such appointment is coupled with an interest. In addition to the foregoing,
the Agent and the Lenders shall be entitled, but shall not be required, to rely
on notice from either Borrower as constituting notice from both Borrowers.

SECTION 8.2       AMENDMENTS, ETC.

                  No amendment or waiver of any provision of any Loan Document,
nor consent to any departure by the Borrowers therefrom, shall in any event be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Borrowers and
the Required Lenders, and then such amendment, waiver or consent shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which
given; provided that (a) notwithstanding anything else contained herein, no
amendment, waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by all the
Lenders, do any of the following: (i) waive or change Section 5.2(e) or any of
the conditions specified in Article III, (ii) except as provided in Sections
8.6(g) and 8.6(h), increase the aggregate Commitments of the Lenders or subject
the Lenders to any additional obligations, (iii) reduce the principal of, or
interest on, the Notes or reduce any fees payable to the Lenders hereunder, (iv)
postpone any date fixed for any payment in respect of principal of, or interest
on, the Notes, or the payment of any fees payable hereunder, or waive any Event
of Default under Section 6.1(a), (v) change the percentage of the Commitments,
the definitions of "Required Lenders," "Collateral Value of the Facility 1
Tranche A Borrowing Base," "Collateral Value of the Facility 1 Tranche B
Borrowing Base," "Collateral Value of the Facility 2 Tranche A Borrowing Base,"
"Collateral Value of the Facility 2 Tranche B Borrowing Base," "Collateral Value
of the Pledged Servicing Portfolio", "Eligible Conforming Mortgage Loan,"

<PAGE>   75

                                      -70-


"Eligible Mortgage Loan," "Eligible Non-Conforming Mortgage Loan," "Eligible REO
Property" or "Eligible Servicing Receivable" (or any definitions contained in
such definitions), or the number or identity of Lenders that is required for any
or all of the Lenders to take any action hereunder, (vi) release the Lien of the
Lenders on any of the Collateral or the Servicing Collateral, except as provided
in the Security Agreement or the Servicing Security Agreement, respectively, or
(vii) amend this Section 8.2 or Section 8.6; (b) no amendment, waiver or consent
shall, unless in writing and signed by the Agent, affect the rights or duties of
the Agent under this Agreement or any other Loan Document; and (c) no amendment,
waiver or consent shall, unless in writing and signed by Bankers Trust, amend,
waive or modify Section 2.1(e) or Section 2.4(c), (d) or (e) or otherwise affect
the rights or obligations of Bankers Trust with respect to Swing-Line Loans.

SECTION 8.3       NO WAIVER; REMEDIES CUMULATIVE.

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

SECTION 8.4       PAYMENT OF EXPENSES, ETC.

                  The Borrowers shall:

         (a)      pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the
outside legal counsel of the Agent in connection with the preparation, execution
and delivery of, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents, and any amendment,
modification or supplement hereof or thereof, including the documentation
required pursuant to Section 3.1(c) and the closings contemplated thereunder,
and (ii) pay all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Agent and
each Lender in the preservation of rights under, enforcement of, and, after the
occurrence of a Potential Default or an Event of Default, any refinancing, the
renegotiating or the restructuring of, this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein
including in connection with any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation,
reorganization or similar proceeding and any amendment, waiver or consent
relating hereto and thereto (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of
counsel (including allocated costs of internal counsel) for the Agent and, in
the case of enforcement, for each of the Lenders);

         (b)      pay and hold the Agent and each of the Lenders harmless from
and against any and all present and future stamp and other similar taxes with
respect to the foregoing matters and


<PAGE>   76

                                      -71-


save the Agent and each Lender harmless from and against any and all liabilities
with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such taxes; and

         (c)      indemnify the Agent and each Lender, and their respective
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents from, and hold each
of them harmless against, any and all out-of-pocket costs, losses, liabilities,
claims, damages or expenses actually incurred by any of them (whether or not any
of them is designated a party thereto) arising out of or by reason of any
investigation, litigation or other proceeding related to any actual or proposed
use by the Borrowers of the proceeds of any of the Loans or the Borrowers'
entering into and performing of the Loan Documents to which they are a party,
including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (including allocated
costs of internal counsel) incurred in connection with any such investigation,
litigation or other proceeding; provided that neither the Agent nor any Lender
shall have the right to be indemnified hereunder for its own gross negligence or
wilful misconduct as evidenced by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. If and to the extent that the obligations of the Borrowers under
this Section 8.4 are unenforceable for any reason, the Borrowers hereby agrees
to make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of such
obligations that is permissible under applicable law.

SECTION 8.5       RIGHT OF SETOFF.

                  Subject to Section 2.16, in addition to and not in limitation
of all rights of offset that any Lender may have under applicable law, for so
long as any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and whether or not
any Lender has made any demand or the Obligations have matured, such Lender
shall have the right to appropriate and apply to the payment of the Obligations
all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final) then or
thereafter held by, and other indebtedness or property then or thereafter owing
to the Borrowers by, such Lender, whether or not related to any Loan Document or
any transaction hereunder.

SECTION 8.6       BENEFIT OF AGREEMENT.

         (a)      This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of and be enforceable by the respective successors and assigns of the parties
hereto; provided that neither of the Borrowers may assign or transfer any of its
interest or delegate any of its obligations under the Loan Documents without the
prior written consent of the Lenders and any such assignment or transfer without
the prior written consent of the Lenders shall be null and void.

         (b)      Subject to the provisions of Section 2.13(c), any Lender may
make, carry or transfer Loans at, to or for the account of, any of its branch
offices or the office of an Affiliate of such Lender.

         (c)      Subject to the limitations set forth below, no Lender may
assign its rights or delegate its obligations under this Agreement and the other
Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement to any other financial
institution without the prior consent of the Agent and, unless an Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers (such consent not to be
unreasonably withheld); provided that (i) no Lender may make an assignment
hereunder to a Person (other than an Affiliate of such Lender or an existing
Lender) that is not a financial institution, (ii) each assignment of all or a
portion of a Lender's Commitments shall include a


<PAGE>   77

                                      -72-


corresponding portion of such Lender's Loans, (iii) no Lender may assign less
than $10,000,000 of its Commitments in any single assignment, and (iv) an
assignment fee in the amount of $3,500 for each assignment hereunder shall be
payable to the Agent by the applicable assignee. Any assignment or delegation
specifically prohibited by the preceding sentence shall be null and void.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Lender may assign its rights and delegate its
obligations under this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement to any Affiliate of such Lender without notice to or
consent by the Borrowers, the Agent, or any other Person, provided the fee set
forth in the proviso to the immediately preceding sentence shall be paid. Each
assignment by a Lender hereunder shall be made pursuant to an Assignment and
Acceptance in substantially the form of Exhibit R hereto. In the case of an
assignment by a Lender, upon the effective date of such assignment as set forth
in the Assignment and Acceptance executed by such Lender, the assignee shall
have, to the extent of such assignment (unless otherwise provided thereby), the
same rights and benefits as it would have if it were a Lender under the Loan
Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement and the holder of a Note and, if the
assignee has expressly assumed, for the benefit of the Borrowers, the assignor
Lender's obligations hereunder and under the other Loan Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement, such assignor Lender shall be relieved of its
obligations hereunder to the extent of such assignment and assumption.

         (d)      Each Lender may transfer, grant or assign participations in
all or any part of such Lender's interests and obligations hereunder pursuant to
this Section to another financial institution, provided that (i) such Lender
shall remain a "Lender" for all purposes of this Agreement and the transferee of
such participation shall not constitute a Lender hereunder and (ii) no
participant under any such participation shall have rights to approve any
amendment to or waiver of this Agreement or any other Loan Document except to
the extent such amendment or waiver would (x) extend the final scheduled
maturity of any of the Loans or the Commitment in which such participant is
participating, (y) reduce the interest rate (other than as a result of waiving
the applicability of any post-default increases in interest rates) or Fees
applicable to any of the Loans or Commitments or postpone the payment of any
thereof or (z) release any Collateral or Servicing Collateral except as provided
in the Security Agreement or the Servicing Security Agreement, respectively. In
the case of any such participation, the participant shall not have any rights
under this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents (the participant's
rights against the granting Lender in respect of such participation to be those
set forth in the agreement with such Lender creating such participation) and all
amounts payable by the Borrowers hereunder shall be determined as if such Lender
had not sold such participation, provided that such participant shall be
entitled to receive additional amounts under Sections 2.13, 2.14 and 2.15 on the
same basis as if it were a Lender.

         (e)      Any Lender may furnish any information concerning the
Borrowers and its Affiliates in the possession of such Lender from time to time
to Affiliates, participants and assignees, and prospective participants and
assignees, of such Lender. No Lender or its Affiliates may furnish such
information to any prospective assignee or participant without the prior written
consent of DFC, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Any prospective
assignee or participant shall be required to execute a confidentiality agreement
in the form of Exhibit L before receiving any such information.

                                      -73-


         (f)      Any Lender may at any time pledge all or any portion of its
rights under the Loan Documents to a Federal Reserve Bank without notice to or
consent of either Borrower, the Agent or any other Lender. No such pledge shall
release the transferor Lender from its obligations hereunder.

         (g)      So long as no Potential Default or Event of Default has
occurred and is continuing, the Borrowers may at any time propose that one or
more commercial banks (each, an "APPLICANT LENDER") become an additional Lender
hereunder. At such time, the Borrowers shall notify each of the Lenders of (i)
the identity of such Applicant Lender, (ii) the proposed increase in the
aggregate Commitments resulting from the addition of such Applicant Lender as a
Lender hereunder, and (iii) such Applicant Lender's proposed Commitments (which
must be not less than $15,000,000 in the case of a Facility 1 Commitment and not
less than $1,000,000 in the case of a Facility 2 Commitment). Upon the Applicant
Lender's addition as a Lender hereunder, such Applicant Lender shall become a
party to this Agreement and the Intercreditor Agreement and a Lender hereunder
and under the other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement, shall be
entitled to all rights, benefits and privileges accorded a Lender under this
Agreement and under the other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement,
and shall be subject to all obligations of a Lender under this Agreement and
under the other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement.

         (h)      The addition of any Applicant Lender as a Lender hereunder
shall become effective upon the occurrence of each of the following events:

                  (i)      the Agent shall have given its prior written consent
         to such Applicant Lender, which consent shall not be unreasonably
         withheld, delayed or conditioned;

                  (ii)     such Applicant Lender, the Borrowers and the Agent
         shall have mutually agreed on the date (the "ADJUSTMENT DATE") on which
         such Applicant Lender shall become a Lender hereunder and under the
         other Loan Documents and the Intercreditor Agreement; and

                  (iii)    on such Adjustment Date:


                           (A)      such Applicant Lender, the Borrowers and the
                  Agent shall execute and deliver to each of the other
                  signatories thereto an Additional Lender Agreement in
                  substantially the form of Exhibit Q hereto, the Agent shall
                  deliver a copy of such executed Additional Lender Agreement
                  and a copy of the Commitment Notice attached as Schedule I
                  thereto to each of the Lenders, and the Commitments of each of
                  the Lenders shall be modified as set forth in such Commitment
                  Notice;

                           (B)      the Borrowers shall execute and deliver to
                  such Applicant Lender (x) a duly executed Facility 1 Note
                  and/or a duly executed Facility 2 Note, as the case may be,
                  (y) a reliance letter from counsel to the Borrowers addressed
                  to such Applicant Lender and in form and substance
                  satisfactory to such Applicant Lender, providing that such
                  Applicant Lender may rely on any opinion letters of



<PAGE>   79

                                      -74-


                  such counsel addressed to the existing Lenders, as if such
                  opinion letters were addressed directly to such Applicant
                  Lender, and (z) certified copies of the resolutions of the
                  Board of Directors of each of the Borrowers evidencing the
                  authorization of such Borrower to enter into such Additional
                  Lender Agreement and consummate the transactions and matters
                  contemplated thereby; and

                           (C)      no Potential Default or Event of Default
                  shall have occurred and be continuing as of such date.

SECTION 8.12      INDEMNIFICATION OF COLLATERAL AGENT.

                  To the extent that the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed and
indemnified by the Borrowers pursuant to the applicable Security Agreement, each
Lender will reimburse and indemnify the Collateral Agent, in proportion to the
unpaid principal amount of its outstanding Loans, or if no Loans are then
outstanding, in proportion to its Commitments, from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits,
costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) or
disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred
by or asserted against the Collateral Agent in performing its duties under the
Loan Documents, in any way relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents;
provided that no Lender shall be liable for any portion of such liabilities,
obligations, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements resulting from the Collateral Agent's gross negligence
or wilful misconduct as evidenced by a final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely on the provisions
of this Section 8.12 as if it were a party to this Agreement.

SECTION 8.13      JOINT AND SEVERAL NATURE OF THE OBLIGATIONS.

                  The Borrowers agree that any and all of the Obligations of the

several obligation of each of them notwithstanding any absence herein or therein
of a reference such as "jointly and severally" with respect to any such
obligation.

SECTION 8.14      CERTAIN WAIVERS.

                  Each of the Borrowers agrees that its joint and several
liability under this Agreement and each of the other Loan Documents shall be
absolute, unconditional and irrevocable irrespective of:

         (a)      any lack of validity, legality or enforceability of the
Obligations of the other Borrower or any other Person under this Agreement or
any other Loan Document;

         (b)      the failure of any Lender:

                  (i)      to assert any claim or demand or to enforce any right
         or remedy against the other Borrower or any other Person (including any
         guarantor) under the provisions of this Agreement or any other Loan
         Document or otherwise, or

                  (ii)     to exercise any right or remedy against any guarantor
         of, or Collateral or Servicing Collateral securing, any Obligations;

         (c)      any change in the time, manner or place or payment of, or in
any other term of, all or any of the Obligations, or any other extension,
compromise or renewal of any Obligation with respect to the other Borrower or
any other Person;

         (d)      any reduction, limitation, impairment or termination of any of
the Obligations of the other Borrower or any other Person for any reason,
including any claim of waiver, release, surrender, alteration or compromise, and
the liability of each of the Borrowers shall not be subject to (and each of them
hereby waives any right to or claim of) any defense or setoff, counterclaim,
recoupment or termination whatsoever by reason of the invalidity, illegality,
non-

<PAGE>   82

                                      -77-


genuineness, irregularity, compromise, unenforceability of, or any other event
or occurrence affecting, any of the Obligations of the other Borrower or any
other Person;

         (e)      any rescission, waiver, amendment or other modification of, or
any consent to departure from, any of the Obligations of the other Borrower or
any other Person under the terms of this Agreement or any other Loan Document;

         (f)      any exchange, release or non-perfection of any Collateral or
Servicing Collateral, or any release, amendment or waiver of, or consent to
departure from, any guaranty or other agreement from the other Borrower or any
other Person, securing any of the Obligations; or

         (g)      any other circumstances which might otherwise constitute a
defense available to, or a legal or equitable discharge of, the other Borrower
or any surety or any guarantor. Each of the Borrowers waives any right to
require that any resort be made by any Lender to any of the Collateral or the
Servicing Collateral.

SECTION 8.15      SUBROGATION, ETC.

                  At any time that a payment is made by either Borrower with
respect to the Obligations, such Borrower shall have a right of contribution
against the other Borrower in the maximum amount permitted by applicable law,
which right of contribution shall be subject to adjustment at the time of any
subsequent payment with respect to the Obligations; provided, that the maximum
aggregate liability of either Borrower with respect to such contribution rights
of the other Borrower shall not exceed the maximum amount of liability that such
first Borrower can incur without rendering such contribution rights void or
voidable under applicable law relating to fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent
transfers, and not for any greater amount, and provided further, that neither
Borrower will exercise any such contribution rights or any other rights which it
may acquire by reason of any payment made hereunder, whether by way of rights of
subrogation, reimbursement or otherwise, until the prior payment, in full and in
cash, of all Obligations and the termination of all Commitments. Any amount paid
to either Borrower on account of any payment made hereunder prior to the payment
in full of all Obligations other than intercompany payments or reimbursements
made in the ordinary course of the businesses of each Borrower shall be held in
trust for the benefit of the Agent and the Lenders and shall immediately be paid
to the Agent and credited and applied against the Obligations, whether matured
or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents. In furtherance of the foregoing, for so long as any Obligation or any
Commitment remains outstanding, each Borrower shall refrain from taking any
action or commencing any proceeding against the other Borrower (or its
successors or assigns, whether in connection with a bankruptcy proceeding or
otherwise) to recover any amounts in respect of payments made under this
Agreement to the Agent and the Lenders.

SECTION 8.16      CONFIDENTIALITY.

                  Each Lender agrees not to disclose, without the prior written
consent of the Borrowers, any of the financial information or other information
of the Borrowers or any Affiliate of either of the Borrowers, designated in
writing by either Borrower as "confidential" and obtained under or in connection
with this Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.


<PAGE>   83

                                      -78-


Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Lender may disclose such information: (a) as
is permitted under Section 8.6; (b) as is required by law or by subpoena or
similar court order, or by any governmental, regulatory or supervisory authority
or official or as otherwise required to be provided by the Lender in the
ordinary course of its business; (c) to counsel to such Lender in connection
with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the other Loan
Documents; (d) to independent auditors and other advisers retained by such
Lender; and (e) to the Agent or the Collateral Agent as contemplated by this
Agreement and the other Loan Documents. In addition, unless specifically
prohibited by applicable law or court order, each Lender shall, to the extent
practical, notify the Borrowers of any subpoena or similar court order or of any
request by any governmental, regulatory or supervising authority or official
(other than any such request in connection with an examination of the financial
condition of such Lender by such authority) for disclosure of any such
information prior to disclosure of such information so that the Borrowers may
seek an appropriate protective order. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Lenders
shall have no obligation to keep any such information confidential if such
information (i) becomes generally available to the public other than as a result
of the disclosure by any Lender in violation of this Section 8.16, (ii) is
available to any Lender on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure to
such Lender by the Borrower or, if applicable, by the Lender from whom such
Lender has purchased its participation or assignment, or (iii) becomes available
to any Lender on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Borrower
or, if applicable, the Lender from whom such Lender has purchased its
participation or assignment; and any Lender may disclose any such information in
connection with any litigation to which such Lender is party relating to this
Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents.

SECTION 8.17      EFFECTIVENESS.

         (a)      This Agreement shall become effective as of the date (the
"AMENDMENT EFFECTIVE DATE"), on which each of the following conditions have been
satisfied to the satisfaction of the Agent:

                  (i)      the Borrowers shall have delivered to the Agent, in
         form and substance and in quantities reasonably satisfactory to the
         Agent and its counsel, all of the instruments and documents described
         in Section 3.1(a);

                  (ii)     the Borrowers shall have paid all Fees and other
         Obligations required to have been paid under the Original Credit
         Agreement, this Agreement and the other Loan Documents prior to or on
         the Amendment Effective Date;

                  (iii)    all conditions precedent set forth in Section 3.1(b)
         shall have been satisfied at and as of such date (both before and after
         giving effect to this Agreement and the other Loan Documents); and

                  (iv)     all acts and conditions (including the obtaining of
         any necessary regulatory approvals and the making of any required
         filings, recordings or registrations) required to be done and performed
         and to have happened prior to the execution, delivery and performance
         of this Agreement and the other Loan Documents and for the same to
         constitute the legal, valid and binding obligations of the Borrowers,
         enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, shall have been
         done and performed and shall


<PAGE>   84

                                      -79-


         have happened in due and strict compliance with all applicable laws or
         if any of such have not been done, performed or happened, such has been
         expressly disclosed to the Agent and waived by all of the Lenders in
         writing.

         (b)      If each of the above conditions has been satisfied, on the
Amendment Effective Date, all Loans of each Type outstanding under the Original
Credit Agreement shall remain outstanding and shall be deemed to be Loans of the
same Type under this Agreement governed by the terms hereof. Upon receiving the
Notes delivered pursuant to subsection (a)(i) above, each Lender that was a
party to the Original Credit Agreement shall promptly cancel its promissory note
delivered under the Original Credit Agreement and return such promissory note to
the Borrowers. No failure of a Lender to cancel or return such promissory note
shall affect the validity of the new Notes delivered hereunder.

SECTION 8.18      RATIFICATION; NO NOVATION.

                  Except as set forth herein and therein, all Loan Documents are
hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. The term Loan Documents, as used
in the Loan Documents, shall mean the Loan Documents as amended hereby and
thereby. The parties do not intend for this Agreement or any of the other Loan
Documents to effect, nor does this Agreement or any of the Loan Documents
constitute, a novation of the obligations of the Borrowers evidenced by the
Original Credit Agreement and the Loan Documents referred to therein. This
Agreement and the other Loan Documents constitute an amendment and restatement
of the terms governing such obligations.

SECTION 8.19      INTEGRATION.

                  This Agreement and the other Loan Documents represent the
entire agreement of the Borrowers, the Agent and the Lenders with respect to the
subject matter hereof and thereof, and there are no promises, undertakings,
representations or warranties by the Agent or any Lender relative to the subject
matter hereof or thereof not expressly set forth or referred to herein or in the
other Loan Documents.



SECTION 8.20      WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

                  THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY
WAIVE TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT
MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER LOAN DOCUMENTS.
