      will be based upon such other index which has been mutually agreed to among
      the
      Company, Bank and BOS, and in the event that Bank, Company and BOS shall not
      so
      agree, the interest rate shall be the Alternate Base Rate. Interest will be

    (c)
      Subject
      to the general order of application of funds in the Sky Account set forth in
      Section 2.5 above, Company or a Company Subsidiary may prepay any Company
      Subsidiary Loan, in whole or in part at any time and from time to time, without
      premium or penalty (but subject to the Success Fee), provided, however, that
      at
      the time of such prepayment the Company or Company Subsidiary, as the case
      may
      be, shall pay all accrued interest on the principal so prepaid; and provided,
      further, however, that except as otherwise provided in Section 3.4 below, the
      Pledged Mortgage Loans related to such Company Subsidiary Loan shall continue
      to
      be held as Collateral and payments from the Pledged Mortgage Loans shall
      continue to be applied in accordance with the above toward any remaining Company
      Subsidiary Loans or any other sums due to Bank hereunder. Notwithstanding the
      foregoing, upon payoff of a Company Subsidiary Loan through
      the proceeds of the BOS Master Agreement, Bank will release possession of the
      Collateral Documents for the Related Mortgage Pool securing such paid off
      Company Subsidiary Loan to BOS, or to the BOS Custodian under the BOS Master
      Agreement, and Bank’s security interest in the Pledged Mortgage Loans comprising
      such Related Mortgage Pool shall be subordinate to the security interest in

    Section 2.6. Expiration
      and/or Termination of Commitment.
      (a)   Unless
      terminated earlier as permitted hereunder, the Commitment shall expire of its
      own term, and without the necessity of action by Bank, two (2) years following
      the date of execution of this Agreement.
      No
      such
      expiration, however, shall in and of itself operate to accelerate the due date
      of any outstanding Company Subsidiary Loan, or otherwise terminate the
      obligations, terms and covenants herein with respect to any then outstanding
      Company Subsidiary Loans.

     

    (b) Either
      party shall have the right, without cause, at any time to terminate Bank’s
      Commitment on not less than six (6) months’ prior written notice to the other
      party. No such termination, however, shall in and of itself operate to
      accelerate the due date of any outstanding Company Subsidiary Loan, or otherwise
      terminate the obligations, terms and covenants herein with respect to any then
      outstanding Company Subsidiary Loans or with respect to then existing Warehouse
      Line Loans eligible for refinancing under this Agreement.

     

    (c) The
      Bank
      shall, furthermore, have the right to terminate the Commitment upon or following
      the occurrence of an Event of Default as specified in Section 8. No such
      termination, however, shall in and of itself operate to accelerate the due
      date
      of any outstanding Company Subsidiary Loan (other than the occurrence of an
      Event of Default), or otherwise terminate the obligations, terms and covenants
      herein with respect to any then outstanding Company Subsidiary
      Loans.

     

      (d) The
      Bank
      shall have the right from time to time and in its sole discretion, to extend
      the
      term of this Agreement with prior written agreement with Company and each
      Company Subsidiary. The length of any such extension shall also be determined
      in
      Bank’s sole discretion. Such extension may be made subject to the renegotiation
      of the terms hereunder and to any other such conditions as Bank and/or Company
      may deem necessary. Under no circumstances shall such an extension by Bank
      be
      interpreted or construed as Bank’s waiver, release or forfeiture of any of its
      rights, entitlements or interests created hereunder. The Company and each
      Company Subsidiary acknowledges and understands that Bank is under no obligation
      whatsoever to extend the term of this Agreement beyond its expiration date
      as
      originally stated in this Agreement.

      or such other place as Bank from time to time shall designate. Whenever any
      payment to be made under a Note shall be stated to be due on a day which 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, the interest thereon
      shall be payable at the applicable rate during such extension. Funds received
      by
      Bank after 4:00 p.m. New York City time on a Business Day shall be deemed to
      have been paid on the next succeeding Business Day. On or before 12:00 p.m.,
      New
      York City time on the date of each payment to Bank, Company shall provide Bank
      with a spread sheet, in form and detail agreed to by Bank and Company, showing
      the application of each payment.

     

    Section 2.8.Net
      Payments.
      All
      payments with respect to any Company Subsidiary Loan shall be made without
      offset or counterclaim and free from any present or future taxes, levies,
      imports, duties or other similar charges of whatsoever nature imposed by any
      government or any political subdivision or taxing authority hereof, other than
      any taxes on or measured by the net income of Bank.

     

    Section 2.9.Direct
      Payments.
      Any and
      all payments received by Company or a Company Subsidiary in connection with
      Collateral shall be deemed to have been delivered in trust for the benefit
      of
      Bank, and unless an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
      shall be promptly delivered to the Lockbox for application in accordance with
      Section 2.5, or if an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, shall
      be
      delivered to Bank or as may otherwise be directed by Bank. Notwithstanding
      the
      forgoing, absent an Event of Default, premiums, points and profits received
      by
      the Company or a Company Subsidiary from the sale of Pledged Mortgage Loans
      pursuant to Section 3.4 may be retained by Company and/or Company Subsidiary
      and
      do not require application as provided in Section 2.5 and are not required
      to be
      delivered to the Lockbox.

     

    Section 2.10. Success
      Fees. After payoff of each Company Subsidiary Loan, Company or such Company
      Subsidiary shall pay to Bank a “Success Fee” in an amount equal to fifty percent
      (50%) of the remaining payments which are subsequently paid under the then
      remaining Pledged Mortgage Loans comprising the Related Mortgage Pool for such
      paid off Company Subsidiary Loan, provided, however, that the amount of any
      Success Fees in respect of any such paid off Company Subsidiary Loan shall
      not
      exceed one-half of one percent (0.50%) of the original principal balance of
      such
      paid off Company Subsidiary Loan, provided further, no Success Fee shall be
      due
      hereunder for any Company Subsidiary Loan which is paid off through the proceeds
      of the BOS Master Agreement.

      event BOS shall receive any “Redemption Amount” (as defined in the BOS Master
      Agreement) pursuant to Section 2.11 of the BOS Master Agreement, and in
      connection therewith shall release its security interest in and lien upon any
      redeemed BOS Pledged Mortgage Loan, Bank shall, contemporaneously with the

      of Redemption from Pledge - Sale to Investor or Syndication
      Transaction.
      Provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, Company
      and/or Company Subsidiary may redeem Pledged Mortgage Loans from the security
      interest created under this Agreement by selling the same to an Investor
      provided that Bank shall have determined that (i) the aggregate principal amount
      of Company Subsidiary Loans outstanding hereunder will be less than seventy-five
      percent (75%) of the Aggregate Pool Value (after giving effect to such
      redemption), (ii) that the projected cash flow of any affected Mortgage Pool
      (after giving effect to such redemption) will adequately service the Related
      Loan, and (iii) the sum of the Redemption Amounts of the Pledged Mortgage Loans
      shall not exceed ten percent (10%) of aggregate total principal amount of all
      Mortgage Loans sold to such Investor contemporaneously with such redemption,
      and
      provided, further, in any event, Pledged Mortgage Loans shall only be redeemed
      from a Mortgage Pool which has been mutually agreed to by Bank and Company.
      Each
      Company Subsidiary shall provide Bank with not less than five (5) Business
      Days
      advance written notice of any proposed redemption. In the event Bank shall
      approve such redemption, such redemption shall be effected by paying or causing
      Investor to pay to the Sky Account in cash the Redemption Amount for such
      redeemed Pledged Mortgage Loans, for application in accordance with Section
      2.5.

     

    Section 3.5.
      Collection and Servicing Rights. (a)
      Unless written notice to the contrary is provided from Bank to Company, the
      Lockbox, in accordance with the terms of the Lock Box Terms shall be utilized
      by
      Company Subsidiary for the receiving, collecting, and processing of all sums
      payable to the Company Subsidiary in respect of the Collateral. Under that
      Lock
      Box Terms, Bank shall be entitled to receive all sums payable to the Company
      Subsidiary in respect of the Collateral (except as otherwise provided in the
      Intercreditor Agreement) for deposit into the Sky Account. All amounts payable
      to the Company Subsidiary for the purchase by any Investor under a Purchase
      Commitment of any Pledged Mortgage Loans shall be deposited into the Sky
      Account. The Company Subsidiary shall instruct each Pledged Mortgage Loan
      obligor to direct all payments due under the Pledged Mortgage Loans, and shall
      direct each Investor to pay the amounts payable for the purchase of such Pledged
      Mortgage Loans, directly to the Lockbox address at Bank. Subject to the terms
      and provisions of the Inter-Creditor Agreement, following the occurrence of
      any
      Event of Default, Bank may, at any time thereafter, upon written notice be
      entitled to service, receive and collect all sums payable to the Company
      Subsidiary in respect of the Pledged Mortgage Loans, and in such case:
      (i) Bank in its discretion may, in its own name or in the name of the
      Company Subsidiary or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money
      or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange
      for
      any of the Pledged Mortgage Loans, but shall be under no obligation to do so;
      and (ii) except as otherwise provided herein and except as may be otherwise
      provided in the Inter-Creditor Agreement, all amounts so received and
      collected by Bank shall be held by it as part of the Collateral.

    (b) In
      the
      event of any conflict between the terms of the Lock Box Terms and the terms
      of
      the Administrative Services Agreement, the Lock Box Terms shall prevail. The
      Bank shall have the right on not less than thirty (30) days prior notice to
      Company and each Company Subsidiary to reasonably modify the Lock Box Terms
      to
      conform to then current Bank practices upon mutual agreement of Company, not
      to
      be unreasonably delayed, and/or banking regulations.

      has an interest in the Collateral, Bank shall
      promptly deliver or release all Collateral in its possession to Company or
      to
      the Company Subsidiaries, as appropriate. In such event, the Bank shall also
      execute and deliver such assignments and other instruments and documents
      reasonably requested by Company or by the Company Subsidiaries to vest title
      in
      the Collateral to Company or the Company Subsidiaries, as appropriate. The
      timely receipt of Company or of Company Subsidiaries, as appropriate, for any
      Collateral released or delivered pursuant to any provision of this Agreement
      shall be a complete and full acquittance for the Collateral so returned, and
      Bank shall hereafter be discharged from any liability or responsibility
      therefor.

      attached hereto as Exhibit F, and the Company shall cause each additional
      Subsidiary from time to time thereafter becomes a party to the BOS Master
      Agreement to execute and deliver in favor of Bank on the date that such

      Intercreditor Agreement) upon all collateral pledged or pledgable to BOS under
      the BOS Master Agreement as additional security for the obligations of Company

      Company Subsidiary owns the Related Mortgage Pool and all other Collateral
      free
      and clear of any Lien, except for the Permitted Liens. No financing statement
      or
      other instrument similar in effect covering all or any part of the Collateral
      is
      on file in any recording office, except such as may have been filed
      by Bank
      or BOS to evidence Permitted Liens. The
      Company Subsidiary has no trade names.

     

    (ii) Except
      as
      is disclosed to Bank in writing, to the best of Company’s and Company
      Subsidiary’s knowledge based upon due diligence conducted by Company and/or
      Company Subsidiary, each
      Pledged Mortgage Loan conforms in all material respects to the Underwriting
      Standards.

     

    (iii)
      The
      Mortgage Loan Documents have been duly executed by the mortgagor and create
      valid and legally binding obligations of the mortgagor, enforceable in
      accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy or other
      similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and
      general principles of equity, and to the knowledge of Company and the Company
      Subsidiary there are no rights of rescission, set-offs, counterclaims or other
      defenses with respect thereto. To the best knowledge of Company and Company
      Subsidiaries, the full original principal amount of each Mortgage Loan (net
      of
      any discounts) has been fully advanced or disbursed to the mortgagor named
      therein. To the best knowledge of Company and the Company Subsidiaries, there
      is
      no requirement for future advances and except for Mortgage Loans insured under
      Section 203(k) of the National Housing Act, any and all requirements as to
      completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements
      of
      any escrow funds therefore have been satisfied. To
      Company’s and Company Subsidiary’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Bank, there
      is no material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing
      under any Mortgage or the related Mortgage Note, and no event has occurred
      which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace
      or cure period, would constitute a material default, breach, violation or event
      of acceleration, other than waivers in the ordinary course of servicing such
      Mortgage Loan which do not have a material adverse effect on the value of the
      Collateral; and neither Company nor the Company Subsidiary has waived any
      material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration. Except as
      disclosed in writing to Bank, the terms of each Mortgage Loan have in no way
      been materially waived, impaired, or changed or modified (without limiting
      the
      generality of the foregoing, any waiver, impairment, change or modification
      relating to interest rates, maturity dates, amortization schedules, commitment
      periods, interest and other payment schedules and waivers of defaults and events
      of default shall be deemed to be material per se). To Company’s and Company
      Subsidiary’s knowledge and except as disclosed to Bank in writing, all tax
      identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax
      segregation, where required, has been completed. All taxes, governmental
      assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold
      payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid,
      or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for
      every such item which remains unpaid.

      Subsidiary, each of the Mortgage Loans has been originated, made and serviced
      in
      material compliance with all industry standards, applicable Investor and Insurer
      requirements and all applicable federal, state and local statutes, regulations
      and rules, including, without limitation, the Federal Truth-in-Lending Act
      of

      is disclosed to Bank in writing, to the best of Company and Company Subsidiary’s
      knowledge based upon due diligence conducted by Company and/or the Company
      Subsidiary, no Mortgage Loan is a Predatory Loan.

      title
      opinion or a valid and enforceable title policy currently in full force and
      effect has been issued for each Mortgage Loan, and in the case of title
      insurance, in an amount not less than the original principal amount of such
      Mortgage Loan, and which title opinion opines or which title policy insures
      that
      the Mortgage relating thereto is a valid first lien on the property therein
      described and that the mortgaged property is free and clear of all encumbrances
      and liens having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage except for taxes
      not yet due and payable and minor title irregularities that do not have a
      material adverse effect on the use or marketability of the mortgaged property,
      and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the applicable
      Investor.

     

    (vii) All
      escrow/custodial accounts have been established in accordance (a) if applicable,
      with the requirements of FHA, VA and/or the applicable Investor and Insurer,
      (b)
      with all other applicable laws, and (c) with the terms of the related
      Mortgages.

     

    (viii) To
      the
      best of Company and/or Company Subsidiary’s knowledge, Company, such Company
      Subsidiary, all prior servicers and, if different, the originating mortgagee,
      have performed all obligations required of them to be performed under or
      pursuant to each of the servicing contracts and related requirements of the
      applicable Investor and Insurer and each other document or agreement relating
      to
      the Mortgage Loans by which Company and/or Company Subsidiary is bound, and
      no
      event has occurred and is continuing which, under the provisions of any such
      servicing contracts and related requirements of the applicable Investor or
      other
      document or agreement, but for the passage of time or in, giving of notice,
      or
      both, would constitute an event of default thereunder.

    (ix) Any
      and
      all payments made with respect to the individual Mortgage Loans have been and
      will be applied to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the
      Mortgage Note and Mortgage evidencing and securing that Mortgage Loan. The

      with
      respect to the Mortgage Loans and servicing contracts have been and will be

            	(iv)	
              Exercise
                all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial
                Code of the State of New York or the state in which the Collateral
                is
                located, including but not limited to selling the collateral at public
                or
                private sale. The Bank shall give Company not less than sixty (60)
                days’
                notice of any such public sale or of the date after which private
                sale may
                be held. The Company agrees that sixty (60) days’ notice shall be
                reasonable notice. At any such sale the Collateral may be sold as
                an
                entirety or in separate parts, as Bank may determine. The Bank may,
                without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale
                or cause
                the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement at the
                time and
                place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any time or
                place
                to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all
                or any
                part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral
                so
                sold may be retained by Bank until the selling price is paid by the
                purchaser thereof, but Bank shall not incur any liability in case
                of the
                failure of such purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so
                sold
                and, in case of any such failure, such Collateral may again be sold
                upon
                like notice. The Bank may, however, instead of exercising the power
                of
                sale herein conferred upon it, proceed by a suit or suits at law
                or in
                equity to collect all amounts due upon all or any portion of the
                Collateral or to foreclose the pledge and sell all or any portion
                of the
                Collateral under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
                jurisdiction, or both.

      Bank

      necessary to uphold and enforce the Lien and priority of, or the security
      intended to be afforded by, any Pledged Mortgage Loan, including, without
      limitation, payment of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums.
      All advances, charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees
      and disbursements, incurred or paid by Bank in exercising any right, power
      or
      remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, shall be
      paid
      by Company or the Company Subsidiary upon demand, shall be secured by the
      Collateral, and until paid, shall bear interest from the date of demand at
      the
      Post Default Rate.

     

    (f) No
      failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
      power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a
      waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Bank of any right,
      power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other
      or
      further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
      The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
      remedies provided at law or in equity.

     

    (g) Notice
      to
      Company for purposes of this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to be notice to each

      otherwise required by applicable law, the proceeds of any sale or other
      enforcement of Bank’s security interest in all or any part of the Collateral
      shall be applied by Bank in such order of priority as Bank may determine at
      its
      sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following:

     

    (a)
       To
      the
      payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including
      reasonable compensation to Bank’s agents and counsel, and all expenses,

      therewith;

    

    (b)
       To
      the
      payment of any other amounts due under any one or more of the Notes (whether
      for
      principal or interest or otherwise), in such order and manner as Bank elects;

      Subsidiaries under this Agreement, in such order and manner as Bank elects;

      proceeds of any such sale are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses
      of
      such sale, as aforesaid, and the payment in full of the Note(s), of all amounts
      due under this Agreement, and all other amounts due thereunder or hereunder,

“Administrative
      Services Agreement”)
      reasonably acceptable to Bank, which covers the provision by Franklin Credit
      of
      any and all administrative services necessary or helpful for Company and each
      Company Subsidiary to operate their business and for the payment by Company
      and
      each such Company Subsidiary to Franklin Credit of reasonable compensation
      for
      those services with respect to the Pledged Mortgage Loans. Those services shall
      include, without limitation, the handling of such matters as: safe-keeping
      and
      administration of Mortgage Loan Documents (other than those which have been
      delivered to Bank or any Custodian); processing of and record-keeping for
      Mortgage Loan payments; insurance; government reporting; Mortgage Loan
      administration and collection; and compliance with this Agreement with respect
      to the Pledged Mortgage Loans. 

     

    (b)
       In
      the
      event that the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement should conflict
      with the terms of this Agreement or with the Lock Box Terms, the terms of this
      Agreement or of the Lock Box Terms shall prevail.

     

    (c)
      Upon
      an
      Event of Default, (i) Bank, with the consent of BOS, shall have the right to
      terminate the Administrative Services Agreement and transfer servicing to its
      designee, (ii) Company will cause Franklin Credit, to service the Pledged
      Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Bank as if Bank was the owner of the Pledged
      Mortgage Loans until such time, if any, as Bank and BOS have mutually terminated
      the Administrative Services Agreement, (ii) Company will cooperate with Bank
      and
      cause Franklin to cooperate with Bank to effect a transfer of the servicing
      of
      the Pledged Mortgage Loans in connection with any such Bank termination of
      the
      Administrative Services Agreement. 

     

    (d)
      The
      Company covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Pledged Mortgage
      Loans to be maintained in conformity with reasonable and customary servicing
      practices in the industry for the same type of mortgage loans as the Pledged
      Mortgage Loans and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing
      Company provides for mortgage loans which it owns. In the event that the
      preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing
      contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon
      the
      earliest of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) the date on which this Agreement
      terminates.

      this Agreement is limited to that of creditor/secured party, on the one hand,
      and borrower, on the other hand. The relationship between Bank and Company
      is
      limited to that of creditor/secured party, on the one hand, and contract obligor
      and parent of Company Subsidiaries, on the other hand. The provisions herein
      for
      compliance with financial covenants and delivery of financial statements are
      intended solely for the benefit of Bank to protect its interests as lender
      in
      assuring performance of the obligations hereunder and under the Notes, and
      nothing contained herein or therein shall be construed as permitting or
      obligating Bank to act as a financial or business advisor or consultant to
      Company or a Company Subsidiary, or as permitting or obligating Bank to control
      Company or a Company Subsidiary, or to conduct Company’s or to a Company
      Subsidiary’s operations, as creating any joint venture, agency, fiduciary,
      trustee, or other relationship among the parties other than as explicitly and
      specifically stated herein. The Company and each Company Subsidiary acknowledge
      that they have had the opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel
      of their own choosing in connection with the negotiation and execution of this
      Agreement and the Notes and to obtain the advice of such counsel with respect
      to
      all matters contained herein and therein. The Company and the Company Subsidiary
      further acknowledge that they are experienced with respect to financial and
      credit matters and have made their own independent decisions to execute and
      deliver this Agreement.

     

    Section 11.2. Recourse.
      The
      Company and each Company Subsidiary each acknowledge and agree that they are

      performance of all obligations contained in this Agreement and in such Note.
      Furthermore, Company and each Company Subsidiary acknowledge and agree (i)
      that
      the Company Subsidiary Loans hereunder are made, were made and will be made
      by
      Bank, in addition to other requirements set forth herein, based upon the
      condition precedent, and in consideration of (in addition to any other
      consideration), the granting of the security interest in the Collateral by
      Company and each Company Subsidiary which jointly and severally secure and
      assure the repayment of all Company Subsidiary Loans, now existing or hereafter
      made by Bank, to all Company Subsidiaries, and (ii) that without the granting
      of
      the security interest in the Collateral by Company and each Company Subsidiary
      as security for and to assure the repayment of all Company Subsidiary Loans
      made
      under this Agreement, such Company Subsidiary, nor any other Company Subsidiary,
      would be granted or have the benefit of its respective Company Subsidiary Loan
      under this Agreement. Each Company Subsidiary and Company agree as
      follows:

     

    (i) Without
      good cause, neither the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall assert, file
      or
      exercise any permissive defense, counterclaim, claim or right to bring any
      third
      party actions in any proceedings or action brought by Bank to enforce its rights
      under this Agreement or any Note against any one or more of Company or Company
      Subsidiary based on joinder of any other Company Subsidiary and/or Company,
      contribution, subrogation, reimbursement or any other legal or equitable claims
      involving the liability of any Company Subsidiary or Company to
      another;

     

    
      
         

      

      
        49

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (ii) To
      unconditionally and absolutely waive any claim based on marshalling of assets;
      and

      the
      extent, if any, not prohibited by law, until payment in full of all Company
      Subsidiary Loans and all other sums due hereunder or under the Note, to
      unconditionally waive and forbear from asserting any benefits or rights under

    (a)
      Bank
      acknowledges that Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries are required
      to
      safeguard nonpublic personal information of their respective customers. This
      duty to safeguard personal information requires Company and the Company
      Subsidiaries to ensure that third parties who may observe or obtain nonpublic

      directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable
      precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with safe and sound banking

      RECEIVED, ____________________________ (the "Borrower"), hereby unconditionally
      promises to pay to the order of SKY BANK (the "Bank"), an Ohio banking
      corporation, at its office located at 10 East Main Street Salineville, Ohio
      43945, or such other address as the holder of this Note may designate to
      Borrower in writing, the principal sum of ______________________________________

      month, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement (as
      hereinafter defined) and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
      an
      Event of Default this Note shall bear interest at the Post-Default Rate (as
      defined in the Loan Agreement). 

     

    This
      Note
      shall be for a term of Thirty Six (36) months. Beginning __________________,
      20______, and on the fifth day of each month thereafter, there shall be due
      and

      schedule, provided, however, Bank reserves the right to adjust the monthly
      payment amount from time to time based upon changes in the interest rate hereon
      if, as the result of such interest rate change, "negative amortization" will
      occur (i.e. the amount of the scheduled principal and interest payment will
      not
      be sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest). The entire unpaid principal
      amount outstanding under this Note shall be payable on the three-year
      anniversary of the date hereof. 

    

    Amounts
      payable on this Note are payable in lawful money of the United States of America

      other
      address as the holder of the Note may designate in writing.

     

    If
      this
      Note or any installment hereof becomes due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday
      or
      public holiday under the laws of the State of Ohio, the due date thereof shall
      be extended to the next succeeding full Business Day.

     

    This
      Note
      is a Note referred to in and is subject to the terms, conditions and covenants
      of, and is secured by certain collateral as more fully described and provided
      in, a certain Master Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of ______________,
      2006, among Bank, Tribeca Lending Corporation, and other subsidiaries of Tribeca
      Lending Corporation, and to which Borrower has become a party to on or about
      even date herewith, (the "Loan Agreement"), and Borrower acknowledges receiving
      a copy of and becoming a party to said Loan Agreement), provided, however,
      reference to the Loan Agreement and to the collateral does not affect or impair
      the absolute and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal
      of and interest on this Note when due.

    This
      Note
      is subject to mandatory prepayment in whole or in part as provided in the Loan
      Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the principal of, and
      accrued interest on, this Note may be declared to be due and payable in the
      manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Agreement. Prepayment of the
      loan evidenced by this Note is subject to the terms of the Loan
      Agreement.

    

    This
      Note
      shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State
      of
      New York without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to the
      conflict of laws. For any dispute arising under this Note or in connection
      herewith, the Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to, consents to, and waives
      any objection to, the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and
      the United States Courts for the Southern District of New York. Trial by jury
      is
      waived by the Borrower for collection hereof.

     

    In
      the
      event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason
      be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or in
      any
      respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note
      shall operate, or would prospectively operate, to invalidate this Note, then,
      and in any such event, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed to
      be
      null and void and of no force or effect and shall not affect any other provision
      of this Note, and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative
      and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or
      disturbed thereby.

     

    It
      is the
      intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with the usury laws of the
      State of New York and applicable Federal law; therefore, it is agreed that
      notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, no such provision
      shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of
      the
      maximum amount permitted by law.

     

    Except
      to
      the extent provided in the Loan Agreement, the Borrower and every endorser
      and
      guarantor of this Note or the obligation represented hereby waive presentment,
      demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notice in connection with
      the
      delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, assent
      to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence,
      to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition
      or
      release of any other party primarily or secondarily liable.

      days after Company receives an advice of deposit, if there is any error in
      such
      advice, and no later than thirty (30) calendar days after Company receives
      a
      bank statement on the Account, if such statement contains an error or fails
      to

      such
      statement.

      in
      the Collateral to any person, either in the name of such Grantor or in its

      name, (b) endorse all Pledged Mortgage Loans payable to the order of such
      Grantor, or, (c)receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to the

      and
      to give full discharge for the same and execute any and all instruments in
      writing whatever kind and nature, if they be necessary, and be necessary and

      the
      terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of BOS as
      the
      first priority lien holder in the Collateral.

     

    SECTION
      5. Additional
      Grantors.
      Each
      subsidiary of the Company which after the date hereof becomes a party to the
      BOS
      Master Agreement or grants collateral to secure obligations under the BOS Master
      Agreement shall, as contemplated in Section 3.7 of the Master Agreement, be
      made
      a party hereto as an additional Grantor by executing a joinder hereto in the
      form attached as Exhibit A hereto. No consent or other action by any other
      Grantor shall be required in order for any such subsidiary to become an
      additional Grantor hereunder.

    

    SECTION
      6. Waivers.
      Each
      Grantor waives presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of
      this Agreement, notice of any loans made, credit or other extensions granted,
      collateral received or delivered and any other action taken in reliance hereon
      and all other demands and notices of any description, except for such demands
      and notices as are expressly required to be provided to such Grantor under
      this
      Agreement or the other Loan Documents. Each Grantor waives, to the full extent
      permitted by law, the benefit of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension
      and redemption laws now or hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling
      in
      the event of any sale or disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor
      assents to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other
      forgiveness or indulgence, to any substitution, exchange or release of
      Collateral, to the addition or release of any party or person primarily or
      secondarily liable, to the acceptance of partial payment thereon and the
      settlement, compromise or adjustment of any thereof, all in such manner and
      at
      such time or times as SKY BANK may deem advisable. Subject to the terms and
      provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the other Loan Documents, SKY
      BANK
      may exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral without resorting, or
      regard, to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for the Sky Bank Loans.
      SKY BANK shall not be deemed to have waived any of its rights with respect
      to
      the Collateral unless such waiver is in writing and signed by SKY BANK. No
      delay
      or omission on the part of SKY BANK in exercising any right and no course of
      dealing shall operate as a waiver of such right or any other right. A waiver
      on
      any one occasion shall not bar or waive the exercise of any right on any future
      occasion. All rights and remedies of SKY BANK in the Collateral, whether
      evidenced hereby or by any other instrument or papers, are cumulative and not
      exclusive of any remedies provided by law or any other agreement, and may be
      exercised separately or concurrently.

      be void.
      

     

    (c)
      No
      waiver of any part of this Agreement or of any breach hereof, shall constitute

    (d)

      any dispute arising under this Agreement or in connection herewith, each Grantor
      hereby irrevocably submits to, consents to, and waives any objection to, the
      jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, County of New York and
      the
      United States Courts for the Southern District of New York. Trial by jury is
      waived by each Grantor. Nothing herein shall affect the right of SKY BANK to

    Section
      2.4.  Interest.

      to subsection (b) below, the unpaid principal balance of each Company Subsidiary
      Loan shall bear interest, payable monthly, on the first day of each month,
      from
      the date of such Company Subsidiary Loan until paid in full, at a floating
      per
      annum rate of interest (the "Floating
      Rate")
      based
      upon an index which will be the Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati 30 day
      advance rate (the "Index"),
      plus
      the applicable margin in accordance with the following matrix:

              250

            

    

    

    The
      interest rate charged herein shall be adjusted monthly, effective on the first
      (1st)
      day of
      each month, based upon the Index in effect on the last Business Day of the
      then
      prior month. The Federal Home Loan Bank of Cincinnati 30 day advance rate shall
      mean the highest rate of interest as published daily by Bloomberg under the
      symbol FHL5LBR1. If the Index becomes unavailable during the term of this
      Agreement, the interest rate will be based upon such other index which has
      been
      mutually agreed to among the Company, Bank and Sky Bank, and in the event that
      Bank, Company and Sky Bank shall not so agree, the interest rate shall be the
      Alternate Base Rate. Interest will be calculated on the basis of actual days
      elapsed over a 360 day year (365/360 basis), and principal and interest payments
      will be billed monthly by the Servicer. 

     

    (b)  If
      an
      Event of Default has occurred and is continuing hereunder, Company and Company
      Subsidiary shall be obligated to pay to Bank interest on the outstanding
      principal balance of each Company Subsidiary Loan at a rate per annum equal
      to
      the Post-Default Rate until such Company Subsidiary Loan is paid in full or
      such
      Event of Default is cured or waived by Bank. 

     

    (c)  The
      books
      and records of Bank, absent manifest error, shall constitute prima
      facie
      evidence
      of the principal balance of each Company Subsidiary Loan and the date and amount
      of each payment of principal and interest and applicable interest rates and
      other information with respect thereto.

      action to completion and/or with respect to a legal action or complaint, so
      long
      as Company or such Company Subsidiary contests, in good faith, any such legal
      action or claim by proper proceedings which are diligently pursued. Following

      that
      the outstanding principal amount of the Related Loan shall not (after giving
      effect to such release) exceed 75% of the Pool Value of the Related Mortgage

      Mortgage Loan.

      Bank shall, contemporaneously with the release by Sky Bank, release its
      secondary security interest in and lien thereon. 

     

    (c)  In
      the
      event of any redemption of Pledged Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 3.4,
      the
      applicable Company Subsidiary shall prepay the principal amount of the Related
      Loan, contemporaneously with the consummation of such redemption, in an amount
      not less than the sum of the Redemption Amounts of the Pledged Mortgage Loans

      provided that Bank shall have determined that (i) the aggregate principal amount

      in respect of the Collateral.  Unless
      an
      Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, subject to Section
      2.9,
      all such sums shall be sent to the Lockbox for deposit into the BoS Account.
      All
      amounts payable to such Company Subsidiary for the purchase by any Investor
      under a Purchase Commitment of any Pledged Mortgage Loans shall also be
      deposited into the BoS Account. The Company Subsidiary shall instruct each
      Pledged Mortgage Loan obligor to direct all payments due under the Pledged

      occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank may, at any time thereafter, upon
      written notice be entitled to service, receive and collect all sums payable
      to

      case: Bank in its discretion may, (i) require Company and each Company
      Subsidiary to establish a substitute lockbox for receiving sums payable to
      any
      Company Subsidiary in respect of the Collateral and instruct each Pledged
      Mortgage Loan obligor to direct all payments due under the Pledged Mortgage
      Loans thereto, (ii) in its own name or in the name of the applicable Company
      Subsidiary or otherwise, demand, sue for, collect or receive any money or
      property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for
      any
      of the Pledged Mortgage Loans, but shall be under no obligation to do so. Except
      as otherwise provided herein and except as may be otherwise provided in the
      Intercreditor Agreement, all amounts received and collected by Bank shall be
      held by Bank as part of the Collateral.

      due
      under a Company Subsidiary Loan or under this Agreement shall be outstanding
      and

      and promptly deliver or release all Collateral in its possession or in the
      possession of the Custodian in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor
      Agreement, provided, further however, if Sky Bank shall notify Bank that it
      no
      longer has an interest in the Collateral, Bank shall promptly deliver or release
      all Collateral in its possession to Company or to the Company Subsidiaries,
      as
      appropriate. In such event, the Bank shall also execute and deliver such
      assignments and other instruments and documents reasonably requested by Company
      or by the Company Subsidiaries to vest title in the Collateral to Company or
      the
      Company Subsidiaries, as appropriate. The timely receipt of Company or of
      Company Subsidiaries, as appropriate, for any Collateral released or delivered
      pursuant to any provision of this Agreement shall be a complete and full
      acquittance for the Collateral so returned, and Bank shall hereafter be
      discharged from any liability or responsibility therefor.

      Bank
      in accordance with the terms of the Intercreditor Agreement) upon all collateral
      pledged or pledgable to Sky Bank under the Sky Bank Master Agreement as
      additional security for the obligations of Company and its Company Subsidiaries
      to Bank under this Agreement and the Notes. To effectuate the foregoing, Company
      and each Subsidiary party to the Sky Bank Master Agreement on the date hereof
      shall execute and deliver in favor of Bank a Security Agreement in the form
      attached hereto as Exhibit
      F, and
      the
      Company shall cause each additional Subsidiary from time to time thereafter
      becomes a party to the Sky Bank Master Agreement to execute and deliver in
      favor
      of Bank on the date that such Subsidiary becomes a party thereto a joinder
      to
      such Supplemental Security Agreement.

      consideration for (i) the benefits received and receivable by Bank from the
      grant by Company and its applicable Subsidiaries under the Sky Bank Master
      Agreement of a priority security interest and lien in favor of Bank (junior
      to
      the security interest and lien in favor of Sky Bank in accordance with the
      terms
      of the Intercreditor Agreement) upon all collateral pledged or pledgable to
      Sky
      Bank under the Sky Bank Master Agreement as additional security for the
      obligations of Company and its Company Subsidiaries to Bank under this
      Agreement, and (ii) the benefits received and receivable by Bank from the
      consent of Sky Bank to the grant of that second priority security interest
      and

      provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, to the grant by Company and by each
      Company Subsidiary which is a party to this Agreement of a second priority
      security interest and lien in favor of Sky Bank upon all Collateral under this

      and Enforceability.
      The

      valid and legally binding obligations of the mortgagor, enforceable in
      accordance with their terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy or other
      similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and
      general principles of equity, and to the knowledge of Company and Company
      Subsidiary there are no rights of rescission, set-offs, counterclaims or other
      defenses with respect thereto. To the best knowledge of Company and Company
      Subsidiaries, the full original principal amount of each Mortgage Loan (net
      of
      any discounts) has been fully advanced or disbursed to the mortgagor named
      therein. To the best knowledge of Company and Company Subsidiaries, there is
      no
      requirement for future advances and except for Mortgage Loans insured under
      Section 203(k) of the National Housing Act, any and all requirements as to
      completion of any on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements
      of
      any escrow funds therefore have been satisfied. To Company's and Company
      Subsidiary's knowledge, except as disclosed to Bank, there is no material
      default, breach, violation or event of acceleration existing under any Mortgage
      or the related Mortgage Note, and no event has occurred which, with the passage
      of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would
      constitute a material default, breach, violation or event of acceleration,
      other
      than waivers in the ordinary course of servicing such Mortgage Loan which do
      not
      have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral; and neither
      Company nor Company Subsidiary has waived any such default, breach, violation
      or
      event of acceleration. Except as disclosed in writing to Bank, the terms of
      each
      Mortgage Loan have in no way been materially waived, impaired, changed or
      modified (without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any waiver,
      impairment, change or modification relating to interest rates, maturity dates,
      amortization schedules, commitment periods, interest and other payment schedules
      and waivers of defaults and events of default shall be deemed to be material
      per
      se). To Company's and Company Subsidiary's knowledge, except as disclosed in
      writing to Bank, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally
      sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed. All taxes,
      governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal
      charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and
      owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount
      sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid.

    (iv)  Except
      as
      is disclosed to Bank in writing, to the best of Company's and Company
      Subsidiary's knowledge based upon due diligence conducted by Company and/or
      Company Subsidiary, each of the Mortgage Loans has been originated, made and
      serviced in material compliance with all industry standards, applicable Investor
      and Insurer requirements and all applicable federal, state and local statutes,
      regulations and rules, including, without limitation, the Federal
      Truth-in-Lending Act of 1968, as amended, and Regulation Z thereunder, the
      Federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, the Federal Equal Credit Opportunity Act,
      the
      Federal Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act of 1974, as amended, and
      Regulation X thereunder, the Home Ownership and Equity Protection Act of
      1994, as amended, and all applicable usury, licensing, real property, consumer
      protection and other laws.

     

    (v)  Except
      as
      is disclosed to Bank in writing, to the best of Company's and Company
      Subsidiary's knowledge based upon due diligence conducted by Company and/or
      Company Subsidiary, no Mortgage Loan is a Predatory Loan. 

     

    (vi)  A
      title
      opinion or a valid and enforceable title policy currently in full force and
      effect has been issued for each Mortgage Loan, and in the case of title
      insurance, in an amount not less than the original principal amount of such
      Mortgage Loan, and which title opinion opines or which title policy insures
      that
      the Mortgage relating thereto is a valid first lien on the property therein
      described and that the mortgaged property is free and clear of all encumbrances
      and liens having priority over the first lien of the Mortgage except for taxes
      not yet due and payable and minor title irregularities that do not have a
      material adverse effect on the use or marketability of the mortgaged property,
      and otherwise in compliance with the requirements of the applicable
      Investor.

     

    (vii)  All
      escrow/custodial accounts have been established in accordance (a) if applicable,
      with the requirements of FHA, VA and/or the applicable Investor and Insurer,
      (b)
      with all other applicable laws, and (c) with the terms of the related
      Mortgages.

     

    (viii)  To
      the
      best of Company's and/or Company Subsidiary's knowledge, Company, such Company
      Subsidiary, all prior servicers and, if different, the originating mortgagee,
      have performed all obligations required of them to be performed under or
      pursuant to each of the servicing contracts and related requirements of the
      applicable Investor and Insurer and each other document or agreement relating
      to
      the Mortgage Loans by which Company and/or Company Subsidiary is bound, and
      no
      event has occurred and is continuing which, under the provisions of any such
      servicing contracts and related requirements of the applicable Investor or
      other
      document or agreement, but for the passage of time or in, giving of notice,
      or
      both, would constitute an event of default thereunder.

     

    (ix)  Any
      and
      all payments made with respect to the individual Mortgage Loans have been and
      will be applied to such Mortgage Loan in accordance with the terms of the
      Mortgage Note and Mortgage evidencing and securing that Mortgage Loan. The
      books, records, accounts and reports of Company and Company Subsidiary with
      respect to the Mortgage Loans and servicing contracts have been and will be
      prepared and maintained in accordance with all applicable Investor and Insurer
      requirements, if any.

prior
      to
      exercising any examination, visitation or audits rights pursuant to this Section

      Subsidiary in writing pursuant hereto or in connection herewith shall be false
      in any material respect on the date as of which made; or

      Company or any Company Subsidiary shall default in the performance of or
      compliance with any term contained in this Agreement other than those referred
      to above in Sections 8.1 (a), (b), (c) or (d) and such default shall not have
      been remedied or waived within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice from
      Bank of such default, provided,
      however, that as to any default that cannot be cured by the payment of money

      in
      the event that Company or Company Subsidiary commences the cure of such
      non-monetary default within such thirty (30) day period, then, in such case,
      the
      thirty (30) day cure period shall be extended so long as Company or Company

      further, however, that the aggregate cure period shall not exceed ninety (90)

      respect to it or commence a voluntary case under any applicable bankruptcy,
      insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or shall consent

    Section
      8.2.  Remedies
      Relating to Events of Default. 

     

    (a)  Upon
      the
      occurrence of any Event of Default described in Sections 8.1(f) or (g) the
      unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on any obligation owed by
      Company hereunder to Bank, and the unpaid principal amount of and accrued
      interest on any and all outstanding Notes from each Company Subsidiary and
      any
      other sums otherwise due from Company Subsidiaries hereunder shall automatically
      become due and payable, without presentment, demand or other requirements of
      any
      kind, all of which are hereby expressly waived by Company and each Company
      Subsidiary, and the obligation of Bank to make Company Subsidiary Loans shall
      thereupon terminate.

     

    (b)  Upon
      the
      occurrence of any Event of Default other than those described in
      Sections 8.1(f) or (g), Bank may, by written notice to Company, declare all
      or any portion of any obligation owed by Company to Bank, and all or any portion
      of the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on any one or more or
      all
      outstanding Notes from any one or more of Company Subsidiaries and any other
      sums otherwise due from Company Subsidiaries hereunder to be due and payable
      whereupon the same shall forthwith become due and payable, together with all
      accrued interest thereon, and the obligation of Bank to make Company Subsidiary
      Loans shall thereupon terminate. 

     

    
      
         

      

      
        39

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (c)  Upon
      the
      occurrence of any Event of Default, Bank may also do any one or more or all
      of
      the following with respect to any Collateral:

     

    (i)  Foreclose
      upon or otherwise enforce its security interest in and Lien on all of the
      Collateral or on any portion thereof.

     

    (ii)  Notify
      all obligors of Collateral, or on any portion thereof, that the Collateral
      has
      been assigned to Bank and that all payments thereon are to be made directly
      to
      Bank, or to such other party as may be designated by Bank; settle, compromise,
      or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing on the Collateral by any
      such
      obligor or Investor, or any portion of the Collateral, on terms acceptable
      to
      Bank; enforce payment and prosecute any action or proceeding with respect to
      any
      and all Collateral; and where any such Collateral is in default, foreclose
      on
      and enforce security interests in, such Collateral by any available judicial
      procedure or, if permitted by applicable law, without judicial process and
      sell
      property acquired as a result of any such foreclosure.

     

    (iii)  Act,
      or
      contract with a qualified third party to act, as servicer of all or any item
      of
      Collateral requiring servicing and perform all obligations required in
      connection with Purchase Commitments, such reasonable third party's fees to
      be
      paid by Company.

     

    (iv)  Exercise
      all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial
      Code
      of the State of New York or the state in which the Collateral is located,
      including but not limited to selling the collateral at public or private sale.
      Bank shall give Company not less than sixty (60) days' notice of any such public
      sale or of the date after which private sale may be held. The Company agrees
      that sixty (60) days' notice shall be reasonable notice. At any such sale the
      Collateral may be sold as an entirety or in separate parts, as Bank may
      determine. Bank may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or
      private sale or cause the same to be adjourned from time to time by announcement
      at the time and place fixed for the sale, and such sale may be made at any
      time
      or place to which the same may be so adjourned. In case of any sale of all
      or
      any part of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral
      so
      sold may be retained by Bank until the selling price is paid by the purchaser
      thereof, but Bank shall not incur any liability in case of the failure of such
      purchaser to take up and pay for the Collateral so sold and, in case of any
      such
      failure, such Collateral may again be sold upon like notice. Bank may, however,
      instead of exercising the power of sale herein conferred upon it, proceed by
      a
      suit or suits at law or in equity to collect all amounts due upon all or any
      portion of the Collateral or to foreclose the pledge and sell all or any portion
      of the Collateral under a judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
      jurisdiction, or both.

     

    (v)  Proceed
      against Company on any obligation owed by Company to Bank or proceed against
      any
      one or more Company Subsidiaries under the Notes.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        40

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    (vi)  Pursue
      any other rights and/or remedies available at law or in equity against Company
      and/or Company Subsidiaries.

     

    (d)  Bank
      may,
      but shall not be obligated to, advance any sums or do any act or thing necessary
      to uphold and enforce the Lien and priority of, or the security intended to
      be
      afforded by, any Pledged Mortgage Loan, including, without limitation, payment
      of delinquent taxes or assessments and insurance premiums. All advances,
      charges, costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and
      disbursements, incurred or paid by Bank in exercising any right, power or remedy
      conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, shall be paid by
      Company or Company Subsidiary upon demand, shall be secured by the Collateral,
      and until paid, shall bear interest from the date of demand at the Post-Default
      Rate.

     

    (e)  No
      failure on the part of Bank to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right,
      power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity shall operate as a
      waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise by Bank of any right,
      power or remedy provided hereunder, at law or in equity preclude any other
      or
      further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.
      The remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of any
      remedies provided at law or in equity.

     

    (f)  Notice
      to
      Company for purposes of this Section 8.2 shall be deemed to be notice to each
      and every Company Subsidiary.

     

    Section
      8.3.  Application
      of Proceeds.
      Unless
      otherwise required by applicable law, the proceeds of any sale or other
      enforcement of Bank's security interest in all or any part of the Collateral
      shall be applied by Bank in such order of priority as Bank may determine at
      its
      sole discretion, including, without limitation, the following:

     

    (a)  To
      the
      payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or enforcement, including
      reasonable compensation to Bank's agents and counsel, and all expenses,
      liabilities and advances made or incurred by or on behalf of Bank in connection
      therewith;

     

    (b)  To
      the
      payment of any other amounts due under any one or more of the Notes (whether
      for
      principal or interest or otherwise), in such order and manner as Bank elects;
      

     

    (c)  To
      the
      payment of any other amounts due by Company or by any one or more of Company
      Subsidiaries under this Agreement, in such order and manner as Bank elects;
      

     

    If
      the
      proceeds of any such sale are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses
      of
      such sale, as aforesaid, and the payment in full of the Note(s), of all amounts
      due under this Agreement, and all other amounts due thereunder or hereunder,
      the
      Company Subsidiary(ies) and/or Company, as appropriate, shall remain liable
      for
      any deficiency.

     

    Section
      8.4.  Bank
      Appointed Attorney-in-Fact.
      Bank is
      hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of Company, and of each Company
      Subsidiary, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of
      Default hereunder, with full power of substitution, for the purpose of carrying
      out the provisions hereof, and of Company Subsidiary Loans and Notes of parties
      hereto, and taking any action and executing any instruments which Bank may
      deem
      necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof or thereof, after
      the
      occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, which
      appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest,
      unless the interest to which it is coupled has been extinguished. Without
      limiting the generality of the foregoing, Bank shall have the right and power
      to
      give notices of its security interest in the Collateral to any Person, either
      in
      the name of Company, in the name of Company Subsidiary, or in its own name,
      after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder
      to endorse all Pledged Mortgage Loans payable to the order of Company or Company
      Subsidiary, or, after the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event
      of
      Default hereunder, to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable
      to
      the order of Company or Company Subsidiary, representing any payment on account
      of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the
      Pledged Mortgage Loans and to give full discharge for the same and execute
      any
      and all instruments in writing whatever kind and nature, if they be necessary,
      and be necessary and deemed proper by Bank to effectively assure its appropriate
      lien position in the Collateral and in the Pledged Mortgage Loans.

      of Set-off.

      Company Subsidiary or Company shall default in the payment of any Note or this
      Agreement, any interest accrued thereon, or any other sums which may become
      payable hereunder or thereunder when due, or in the performance of any of its
      or
      their other obligations or liabilities thereunder or hereunder, Bank shall
      have
      the right, at any time and from time to time, without prior notice, to set-off
      and to appropriate or apply any and all deposits of money or property or any
      other indebtedness at any time held or owing by Bank or a parent company,
      affiliate, or subsidiary to or for the credit of the account of Company or
      any
      Company Subsidiary against and on account of the obligations and liabilities
      of
      Company and Company Subsidiaries under this Agreement or any Note, irrespective
      of whether or not Bank shall have made any demand thereunder or hereunder and
      whether or not said obligations and liabilities shall have matured; provided,
      however, Bank shall promptly notify Company subsequent to Bank exercising any
      such set-off; and provided, further, that the aforesaid right of set-off shall
      not apply to (a) any payments and/or deposits delivered to Bank through a lock
      box or otherwise, on behalf of or for the account of Sky Bank in accordance
      with
      the Intercreditor Agreement, or on behalf of or for the account of any other
      third party, or (b) any Escrow Reserves held on behalf of the mortgagors or
      other third parties under Mortgage Loans whether or not pledged to Bank or
      other
      third parties, including Sky Bank. 

     

    Section
      8.6.  Cost
      of Enforcement.
      The
      Company and each Company Subsidiary agree to pay all costs and expenses of

      including reasonable attorney's fees, arising in connection with the enforcement
      of, or collection of amounts payable under, this Agreement, any Note or other
      documents and instruments related hereto and thereto.

    (b)  In
      the
      event that the terms of the Administrative Services Agreement should conflict
      with the terms of this Agreement or with the Lockbox Agreement, the terms of
      this Agreement or of the Lockbox Agreement shall prevail.

     

    (c)  Upon
      an
      Event of Default, (i) Bank, with the consent of Sky Bank, shall have the right
      to terminate the Administrative Services Agreement and transfer servicing to
      its
      designee, (ii) Company will cause Franklin Credit, to service the Pledged
      Mortgage Loans for the benefit of Bank as if Bank was the owner of the Pledged
      Mortgage Loans until such time as Bank and Sky Bank have mutually terminated
      the
      Administrative Services Agreement, and (iii) Company will cooperate with Bank
      and cause Franklin to cooperate with Bank to effect a transfer of the servicing
      of the Pledged Mortgage Loans in connection with any such termination of the
      Administrative Services Agreement. 

     

    (d)  The
      Company covenants to maintain or cause the servicing of the Pledged Mortgage
      Loans to be maintained in conformity with reasonable and customary servicing
      practices in the industry for the same type of mortgage loans as the Pledged
      Mortgage Loans and in a manner at least equal in quality to the servicing
      Company provides for mortgage loans which it owns. In the event that the
      preceding language is interpreted as constituting one or more servicing
      contracts, each such servicing contract shall terminate automatically upon
      the
      earliest of (i) an Event of Default or (ii) the date on which this Agreement
      terminates.

      advisor or consultant to Company or a Company Subsidiary, or as permitting
      or
      obligating Bank to control Company or a Company Subsidiary, or to conduct
      Company's or a Company Subsidiary's operations, or as creating any joint
      venture, agency, fiduciary, trustee, or other relationship among the parties
      other than as explicitly and specifically stated herein. The Company and each

      Subsidiary which jointly and severally secure and assure the repayment of all
      Company Subsidiary Loans, now existing or hereafter made by Bank and (ii) that

      nor
      any other Company Subsidiary, would be granted or have the benefit of its
      respective Company Subsidiary Loan under this Agreement. Each Company Subsidiary
      and Company agree as follows:

     

    (i)  Without
      good cause, neither the Company or any Company Subsidiary shall assert, file
      or
      exercise any permissive defense, counterclaim, claim or right to bring any
      third
      party actions in any proceedings or action brought by Bank to enforce its rights

      Subsidiary based on joinder of any other Company Subsidiary and/or Company,

      unconditionally waive and forbear from asserting any benefits or rights under
      Section 105 or any other provisions of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code to invoke the
      automatic stay resulting from the bankruptcy of any other Company Subsidiary

      of Company hereunder, or any obligation of a Company Subsidiary under the

    Section

      Agreement may not be assigned by Company or by any Company Subsidiary. This
      Agreement, each Note, along with, Bank's security interest in any or all of
      the

      its
      sole discretion and any such transferee or assignee thereof may enforce this
      Agreement, such Note, and such security interest, provided, however, any
      transfer or assignment of Bank's rights and obligations under this Agreement
      shall only be made pursuant to (i) a successor by merger to Bank or (ii) a
      third
      party institutional lender with sufficient capital and experience in with
      commercial credits of a size and nature similar to the transactions evidenced
      hereby and being otherwise reasonably acceptable to Company.

      waiver or amendment is in writing signed by Bank and Company. All such written
      amendments, modifications and extensions to this Agreement and any other
      agreements related hereto executed by Company shall be binding upon each Company
      Subsidiary to the same extent as if such amendment, modification or extension
      had been executed by each such Company Subsidiary, and each such Company
      Subsidiary shall thereafter be bound by any such amendments, modifications
      and
      extensions.

     

    Section
      11.7.  No
      Waiver; Remedies Cumulative.
      No
      failure or delay on the part of Company, any Company Subsidiary, or Bank or
      any
      holder of any Note in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder, or
      under any Note, and no course of dealing between or among Company, any Company
      Subsidiary, and Bank or the holder of any Note, shall operate as a waiver
      thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or
      privilege hereunder or thereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof
      or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder.
      The rights and remedies herein and therein expressly provided are cumulative
      and
      not exclusive of any rights or remedies which Company, Company Subsidiary,
      or
      Bank or the holder of any Note would otherwise have. No notice to or demand
      on
      Company or any Company Subsidiary in any case shall entitle Company or such
      Company Subsidiary to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other
      circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Bank or the holder of
      any
      Note to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or
      demand.

     

    Section
      11.8.  Invalidity.
      In case
      any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement, any Note, or
      in
      any other agreement or instrument related hereto shall for any reason be held
      to
      be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity,
      illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provisions hereof
      or
      thereof, and this Agreement, such Note, or such other instruments or agreements
      shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had
      not been included.

     

    Section
      11.9.  Participations.
      Bank
      may from time to time sell or otherwise grant participations in any Note, to
      third party participants which are institutional lenders with sufficient capital
      and experience in with commercial credits of a size and nature similar to the
      transactions evidenced hereby and being otherwise reasonably acceptable to
      Company, and pursuant to which Bank shall remain as the lead lender and
      servicer, and the holder of any such participation, if the participation
      agreement so provides, (a) shall, with respect to its participation, be
      entitled to all of the rights of Bank, and (b) may exercise any and all
      rights of setoff or banker's lien with respect thereto, in each case as fully
      as
      though Company or the applicable Company Subsidiary were directly indebted
      to
      the holder of such participation in the amount of such participation; provided,
      however, that Company or such Company Subsidiary shall not be required to send
      or deliver to any of the participants other than Bank any of the materials
      or
      notices required to be sent or delivered by it under the terms of this
      Agreement, nor shall it have to act except in compliance with the instructions
      of Bank.

      This
      Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts by Bank, Company, and

    Section
      11.15.  Privacy
      and Security; Confidentiality. 

     

    (a)  Bank
      acknowledges that Company and each of the Company Subsidiaries are required
      to
      safeguard nonpublic personal information of their respective customers. This
      duty to safeguard personal information requires Company and the Company
      Subsidiaries to ensure that third parties who may observe or obtain nonpublic
      personal information also safeguard this information to the same extent.
      Accordingly, Bank agrees and represents and warrants that Bank shall, at all
      times, comply with the requirements of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, Pub. L.
      106-102, as amended, and its implementing regulations, with respect to
      maintaining the confidentiality and security of nonpublic personal information
      of Company’s customers in connection with Bank’s rights under this Agreement.
      Bank acknowledges that all documents and information furnished to or obtained
      by
      Bank, whether in written or verbal form, relating to the personal, non-public
      information of Company’s and the Company Subsidiary’s customers (collectively,
      the “Confidential Information”), constitute valuable assets of, and are
      proprietary to, Company, the Company Subsidiaries and its affiliates.
      Accordingly, Bank agrees not to disclose (whether directly or indirectly) or
      use
      any Confidential Information except as required to carry out its duties under
      the Agreement or as required by law. Third party disclosures made in the
      ordinary course of Bank’s business (including, without limitation, in connection
      with any proposed participation interest in, or assignment of Bank’s interest
      under, this Agreement or any Note) are permitted, provided they are solely
      in
      furtherance of Bank’s duties under this Agreement and are made to a party bound
      by privacy and security provisions consistent herewith. Bank agrees to establish
      and maintain procedures reasonably designed to assure the security of all
      Confidential Information. This Privacy and Security Section 11.15 shall survive
      termination of the Agreement.

     

    (b)  Bank
      furthermore agrees (on behalf of itself and each of its respective affiliates,
      directors, officers, employees and representatives) to use reasonable
      precautions to keep confidential, in accordance with safe and sound banking
      practices, any non-public information supplied to Bank by Franklin Credit,
      Company or any Company Subsidiary, provided that nothing herein shall limit
      the
      disclosure of any such information (i) to the extent required by applicable
      law,
      (ii) to counsel for the Bank, (iii) to bank examiners, and Bank's auditors
      or
      accountants, (iv) to the extent that such information is already publicly known
      not as result of any breach of this Section, (v) to any
      bona
      fide
      assignee
      or participant (or prospective
      bona
      fide
      assignee
      or participant) so long as such assignee or participant (or such prospective
      assignee or participant) agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of
      this
      Section, or (vi) in connection with any litigation to which  Bank is a

      month, in accordance with the terms and provisions of the Loan Agreement (as
      hereinafter defined) and upon the occurrence and during the continuance of
      an
      Event of Default this Note shall bear interest at the Post-Default Rate (as
      defined in the Loan Agreement). 

     

    This
      Note
      shall be for a term of Thirty Six (36) months. Beginning __________________,
      2006, and on the first day of each month thereafter, there shall be due and

      calculated based upon a fully amortizing level payment 240 month amortization
      schedule, provided, however, Bank reserves the right to adjust the monthly
      payment amount from time to time based upon changes in the interest rate hereon
      if, as the result of such interest rate change, "negative amortization" will
      occur (i.e. the amount of the scheduled principal and interest payment will
      not
      be sufficient to pay accrued and unpaid interest). The entire unpaid principal
      amount outstanding under this Note shall be payable on the three-year
      anniversary of the date hereof. 

    

    Amounts
      payable on this Note are payable in lawful money of the United States of America
      in good and immediately available funds at the offices of Bank, or at such
      other

    If
      this
      Note or any installment hereof becomes due and payable on a Saturday, Sunday
      or
      public holiday under the laws of the State of New York, the due date thereof
      shall be extended to the next succeeding full Business Day.

     

    This
      Note
      is a Note referred to in and is subject to the terms, conditions and covenants
      of, and is secured by certain collateral as more fully described and provided
      in, a certain Master Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of March 24, 2006,
      among Bank, Tribeca Lending Corp., and other subsidiaries of Tribeca Lending

      herewith, (the "Loan Agreement"), and Borrower acknowledges receiving a copy
      of
      and becoming a party to said Loan Agreement), provided, however, reference
      to
      the Loan Agreement and to the collateral does not affect or impair the absolute
      and unconditional obligation of the Borrower to pay the principal of and
      interest on this Note when due.

     

    
      
         

      

      
         

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

    This
      Note
      is subject to mandatory prepayment in whole or in part as provided in the Loan
      Agreement. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the principal of, and
      accrued interest on, this Note may be declared to be due and payable in the
      manner and with the effect provided in the Loan Agreement. Prepayment of the
      loan evidenced by this Note is subject to the terms of the Loan Agreement.
      

     

    This
      Note
      shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State
      of
      New York without giving effect to the principles thereof relating to the
      conflict of laws. For any dispute arising under this Note or in connection
      herewith, the Borrower hereby irrevocably submits to, consents to, and waives
      any objection to, the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and
      the United States Courts for the Southern District of New York. Trial by jury
      is
      waived by the Borrower for collection hereof.

     

    In
      the
      event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note shall for any reason
      be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part, or in
      any
      respect, or in the event that any one or more of the provisions of this Note
      shall operate, or would prospectively operate, to invalidate this Note, then,
      and in any such event, such provision or provisions only shall be deemed to
      be
      null and void and of no force or effect and shall not affect any other provision
      of this Note, and the remaining provisions of this Note shall remain operative
      and in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, prejudiced or
      disturbed thereby.

     

    It
      is the
      intention of the parties hereto to comply strictly with the usury laws of the
      State of New York and applicable Federal law; therefore, it is agreed that
      notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Note, no such provision
      shall require the payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of
      the
      maximum amount permitted by law.

     

    Except
      to
      the extent provided in the Loan Agreement, the Borrower and every endorser
      and
      guarantor of this Note or the obligation represented hereby waive presentment,
      demand, notice, protest and all other demands and notice in connection with

      delivery, acceptance, performance, default or enforcement of this Note, assent
      to any extension or postponement of the time of payment or any other indulgence,
      to any substitution, exchange or release of collateral and to the addition
      or

    NOW
      THEREFORE, in

      Interest.
      As
      security for the payment in full of all BOS Loans and all other existing and
      hereafter arising indebtedness of the BOS Borrowers under the Master Agreement,
      each Grantor does hereby convey to BOS a security interest (subject to the
      first
      priority security interest in favor of Sky Bank) in all rights, titles and
      interests of such Grantor in and to all Collateral
      (as defined in the Sky Master Agreement) in which Sky Bank has been granted
      a
      security interest pursuant to Section 3.1 of the Sky Master Agreement (other
      than the Sky Account).

     

    The
      foregoing security interest and lien shall remain in effect until all
      indebtedness secured hereby has been paid in full and the commitment of BOS
      to
      make BOS Loans shall have expired, provided, however, if Sky Bank shall release
      its security interest in any portion of the Collateral pursuant to Section
      3.4
      of the Sky Master Agreement, then BOS shall be deemed to have automatically
      released its security interest in the same contemporaneously with the release
      by
      Sky Bank. By accepting the benefits of this Agreement, BOS agrees that in the
      event all indebtedness secured hereby shall be paid in full and the commitment
      of BOS to make BOS Loans shall have expired, BOS shall promptly deliver or
      release all Collateral in its possession to the applicable Grantor or as
      otherwise provided in the Intercreditor Agreement, and shall execute and deliver
      such assignments and other instruments and documents reasonably requested by
      the
      applicable Grantors to vest title in the Collateral to such Grantor.

     

    Upon
      the
      request of BOS, each Grantor shall execute any further document or instrument
      reasonably requested by BOS to further evidence, perfect or effectuate the
      security interests and liens granted herein.
      Furthermore, each Grantor (a) hereby authorizes BOS
      to
      sign
      (if required) and file financing statements at any time with respect to any
      of
      the Collateral, without such financing statements being executed by, or on
      behalf of, Grantor, (b) shall, at any time on request of BOS,
      execute
      or cause to be executed financing statements in respect of any Collateral,
      and
      (c) shall
      reasonably cooperate to provide any information reasonably required by BOS
      in
      connection with the filing of financing statements with respect to the
      Collateral.

      representation and warranty of such Grantor set forth in Section 5.3 of the
      Sky
      Master Agreement, which representations and warranties are hereby incorporated
      herein by reference with the same force and effect as though expressly set
      forth
      herein with respect to BOS, is true and correct (except that the security
      interest in the Collateral granted to BOS herein is junior to the security
      interest of Sky Bank in such Collateral); and

     

    (ii)  such
      Grantor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this
      Agreement, and all other documents contemplated hereby and thereby and the
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by such Grantor has been
      duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
      such Grantor (none of which actions have been modified or rescinded, and all
      of
      which actions are in full force and effect) and does not conflict with or
      violate any provision of law or of the articles of organization, bylaws or
      operating agreement of such Grantor.

      relating to the Collateral which are granted to Sky Bank pursuant to Section
      6.2(e) of the Sky Master Agreement which rights are hereby incorporated herein
      by reference with the same force and effect as though expressly set forth herein
      with respect to BOS. 

    

    SECTION
      4. Default.
      Upon
      the
      occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default under and as
      defined in the Master Agreement:

    

    (i)  BOS,
      subject to the terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement, shall have
      all of the rights and remedies granted to Sky Bank pursuant to Sections 8.2
      and
      8.3 of the Sky Master Agreement, which rights and remedies are hereby
      incorporated herein by reference with the same force and effect as though
      expressly set forth herein with respect to BOS; and 

     

    (ii)  as
      and to
      the extent provided in the Sky Master Agreement, BOS is hereby appointed the
      attorney-in-fact of each Grantor, with full power of substitution, for the
      purpose of carrying out the provisions hereof and taking any action and
      executing any instruments which BOS may deem necessary or advisable to
      accomplish the purposes hereof, which appointment as attorney-in-fact is
      irrevocable and coupled with an interest. Without limiting the generality of
      the
      foregoing, so long as an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under
      the Master Agreement, BOS shall have the right and power to (a) give notices
      of
      its security interest in the Collateral to any person, either in the name of
      such Grantor or in its own name, (b) endorse all Pledged Mortgage Loans payable
      to the order of such Grantor, or (c) receive, endorse and collect all checks
      made payable to the order of such Grantor representing any payment on account

      the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any of the Pledged
      Mortgage Loans and to give full discharge for the same and execute any and
      all
      instruments in writing whatever kind and nature, if they be necessary, and
      be
      necessary and deemed proper by BOS to effectively assure its appropriate lien
      position in the Collateral, provided, however the exercise of such power of
      attorney in any and all events being subject to
      the
      terms and conditions of the Intercreditor Agreement and the rights of Sky Bank
      as the first priority lien holder in the Collateral.

    SECTION
      5. Additional
      Grantors.
      Each
      subsidiary of the Company which after the date hereof becomes a party to the
      Sky
      Master Agreement or grants collateral to secure obligations under the Sky Master
      Agreement shall, as contemplated in Section 3.7 of the Master Agreement, be
      made
      a party hereto as an additional Grantor by executing a joinder hereto in the
      form attached as Exhibit A hereto. No consent or other action by any other
      Grantor shall be required in order for any such subsidiary to become an
      additional Grantor hereunder.

    

    SECTION
      6. Waivers.
      Each
      Grantor waives presentment, demand, notice, protest, notice of acceptance of
      this Agreement, notice of any loans made, credit or other extensions granted,
      collateral received or delivered and any other action taken in reliance hereon
      and all other demands and notices of any description, except for such demands
      and notices as are expressly required to be provided to such Grantor under
      this
      Agreement. Each Grantor waives, to the full extent permitted by law, the benefit
      of all appraisement, valuation, stay, extension and redemption laws now or
      hereafter in force and all rights of marshaling in the event of any sale or
      disposition of any of the Collateral. Each Grantor assents to any extension
      or
      postponement of the time of payment or any other forgiveness or indulgence,
      to
      any substitution, exchange or release of Collateral, to the addition or release
      of any party or person primarily or secondarily liable, to the acceptance of
      partial payment thereon and the settlement, compromise or adjustment of any
      thereof, all in such manner and at such time or times as BOS may deem advisable.
      Subject to the terms and provisions of the Intercreditor Agreement, BOS may
      exercise its rights with respect to the Collateral without resorting, or regard,
      to other collateral or sources of reimbursement for the BOS Loans. BOS shall
      not
      be deemed to have waived any of its rights with respect to the Collateral unless
      such waiver is in writing and signed by BOS. No delay or omission on the part
      of
      BOS in exercising any right and no course of dealing shall operate as a waiver
      of such right or any other right. A waiver on any one occasion shall not bar
      or
      waive the exercise of any right on any future occasion. All rights and remedies
      of BOS in the Collateral, whether evidenced hereby or by any other instrument
      or
      papers, are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law or
      any
      other agreement, and may be exercised separately or concurrently.

    (d)
      All
      rights, interests and remedies herein granted to BOS shall be cumulative of

      Agreement and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be
      construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York
      (excluding the laws applicable to conflicts or choice of law).

    

    (g)
      For
      any dispute arising under this Agreement or in connection herewith, each Grantor
      hereby irrevocably submits to, consents to, and waives any objection to, the
      jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York, County of New York and
      the
      United States Courts for the Southern District of New York and the courts of

      provisions of this Agreement shall be waived, amended or supplemented except
      by
      a written instrument executed by BOS.

     

    (k)
      Each
      Grantor acknowledges, agrees and recognizes that the Sky Loans made to
      Subsidiaries pursuant to the Sky Master Agreement would not be made to
      Subsidiaries unless, and it is an express condition to the making of such Sky
      Loans to Subsidiaries that, all collateral securing the Sky Loans also secure
      the BOS Loans so as to enable Sky Bank to obtain a corresponding second priority
      security interest in all now existing and hereafter arising collateral securing
      the BOS Loans as additional security for the Sky Loans, and each Grantor is
      entering into this Agreement in order to satisfy such condition precedent to
      such Sky Loan. Each
      Grantor acknowledges that BOS and Sky Bank have been induced to enter into
      the
      Master Agreement and Sky Master Agreement, respectively, because of, among
