WAREHOUSING CREDIT AND

SECURITY AGREEMENT

(MANUFACTURED HOUSING)

 

WAREHOUSING
CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (MANUFACTURED HOUSING),
dated as of September 3, 2004 between HOMEONE CREDIT CORP., a Delaware
corporation (“Borrower”), and RESIDENTIAL FUNDING CORPORATION, a
Delaware corporation (“Lender”).

 

A.           Borrower has requested
certain financing from Lender.

 

B.             Lender has agreed to
provide that financing to Borrower, subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.

 

C.             Subject to Borrower’s
satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Article 5, the “Closing Date”
for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is the date set forth as
the Closing Date on the signature page to this Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

 

1.                                      THE
CREDIT

 

1.1.                            The
Warehousing Commitment

 

On the terms and subject to the conditions and limitations of this
Agreement, including Exhibit H, Lender agrees to make Warehousing
Advances to Borrower from the Closing Date to the Business Day immediately
preceding the Warehousing Maturity Date, during which period Borrower may
borrow, repay and reborrow in accordance with the provisions of this
Agreement.  Lender has no obligation to
make Warehousing Advances in excess of the Warehousing Commitment Amount.  While a Default or Event of Default exists,
Lender may refuse to make any additional Warehousing Advances to Borrower.  All Warehousing Advances under this
Agreement constitute a single indebtedness, and all of the Collateral is
security for the Warehousing Note and for the performance of all of the
Obligations.

 

1.2.                            Expiration of Warehousing Commitment

 

The Warehousing Commitment expires on the earlier of (“Warehousing
Maturity Date”):  (a) the earliest
of (i) 365 days from the Closing Date, (ii) the first Business Day that is 90
Business Days after either Borrower or Lender gives Notice to the other that it
does not intend to enter into a Shared Execution Manufactured Housing Loan
Purchase Agreement, or (iii) the Early Termination Date, in the case of (a)(i)
or (ii), as such date may be extended by Lender in its sole discretion, on
which date the Warehousing Commitment will expire without the necessity of
Notice or action by Lender, and (b) the date the Warehousing Commitment is
terminated and the Warehousing Advances become due and payable under
Section 10.2.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Borrower and Lender
enter into a Shared Execution Manufactured Housing Loan Purchase Agreement
during the term of this Agreement, the Warehousing Maturity Date will be the
earlier of (x) the earlier of (i) 3 years from the Closing Date, or (ii) the
Early Termination Date, in the case of (x)(i), as such date may be extended by
Lender in its sole discretion, on which date the Warehousing Commitment will
expire without the

 

1

 

necessity of Notice or action by Lender and (y) the date the Warehousing
Commitment is terminated and the Warehousing Advances become due and payable
under Section 10.2.

 

1.3.                            Warehousing Note

 

Warehousing Advances are evidenced by Borrower’s promissory note,
payable to Lender on the form prescribed by Lender (“Warehousing Note”).  The term “Warehousing Note” as used
in this Agreement includes all amendments, restatements, renewals or
replacements of the original Warehousing Note and all substitutions for
it.  All terms and provisions of the
Warehousing Note are incorporated into this Agreement.

2.                                      PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING ADVANCES

 

2.1.                            Warehousing
Advances

 

To obtain a Warehousing Advance under this Agreement, Borrower must
deliver to Lender either a completed and signed request for a Warehousing
Advance on the then current form approved by Lender or an Electronic Advance
Request, together with a list of the Loans for which the request is being made
and a signed RFConnects Pledge Agreement sent by facsimile (“Warehousing
Advance Request”), not later than (a) in the case of Electronic Advance
Requests, 2:30 p.m. on the Business Day, and (b) in all other cases, 1 Business
Day before the Business Day, on which Borrower desires the Warehousing
Advance.  Subject to the delivery of a
Warehousing Advance Request and the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in
Sections 5.1 and 5.2, Borrower may obtain a Warehousing Advance under this
Agreement upon compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section and in
the applicable Exhibit B, including delivery to Lender of all
required Collateral Documents.  Lender’s
current form of Warehousing Advance Request is set forth in Exhibit A.  Lender may modify its form of Warehousing
Advance Request, RFConnects Pledge Agreement, Exhibit A and Exhibit B
to conform to current legal requirements upon not less than 3 Business Days’
prior Notice to Borrower, or Lender practices upon not less than 10 Business
Days’ prior Notice to Borrower, and, as so modified, those Exhibits and
documents will become part of this Agreement.

3.                                      INTEREST, PRINCIPAL AND FEES

 

3.1.                            Interest

 

3.1 (a)                Except as otherwise provided in this
Section, Borrower must pay interest on the unpaid amount of each Warehousing
Advance from the date the Warehousing Advance is made until it is paid in full
at the Interest Rate specified in Exhibit H.

 

3.1 (b)               Lender computes interest on the basis of
the actual number of days in each month and a year of 360 days.  Borrower must pay interest monthly (if any
interest has accrued), in arrears, not later than 9 days after receipt by
Borrower of Lender’s invoice, commencing with the first month following the Closing
Date and on the Warehousing Maturity Date.

 

3.1 (c)                If, for any reason, Borrower repays a
Warehousing Advance on the same day that it was made by Lender, Borrower agrees
to pay to Lender an administrative fee equal to 1 day of interest on that
Warehousing Advance at the Interest Rate that would otherwise be applicable
under Exhibit H.  Borrower must
pay all administrative fees not later than 9 days after receipt by Borrower of
Lender’s invoice.

 

3.1 (d)               So long as an Event of Default exists
under 10.1 (a)  and upon Notice to
Borrower by Lender, the unpaid amount of each Warehousing Advance will bear
interest at the Default Rate until paid in full.

 

3.1 (e)                Lender will adjust the rates of
interest provided for in this Agreement as of the effective date of each change
in the applicable index.  Lender’s
determination of such rates of interest as of any date of determination are
conclusive and binding, absent manifest error. 
The applicable indexes are LIBOR and the Bank One Rate.

 

3.2.                            Interest Limitation

 

Lender does not intend, by reason of this Agreement, the Warehousing
Note or any other Loan Document, to receive interest in excess of the amount
permitted by applicable law.  If Lender
receives any interest in excess of the amount permitted by applicable law,
whether by reason of acceleration of the maturity of this Agreement, the
Warehousing Note or otherwise, Lender will apply the excess to the unpaid
principal balance of the Warehousing Advances and not to the payment of
interest.  If all Warehousing Advances
have been paid in full and the Warehousing Commitment has expired or has been
terminated, Lender will remit any excess to Borrower.  This Section controls every other provision of all agreements
between Borrower and Lender and is binding upon and available to any subsequent
holder of the Warehousing Note.

 

3.3.                            Principal Payments

 

3.3 (a)                Borrower must pay Lender the
outstanding principal amount of all Warehousing Advances on the Warehousing
Maturity Date.

 

3.3 (b)               Except as otherwise provided in Section
3.1, Borrower may prepay any portion of the Warehousing Advances without
premium or penalty at any time.

 

3.3 (c)                Borrower must pay to Lender, without
the necessity of prior demand or Notice from Lender, and Borrower authorizes
Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for,
the amount of any outstanding Warehousing Advance

against a specific Pledged Loan upon the earliest occurrence of any of
the following events:

 

(1)                                  Ten (10) Business
Days elapse without the return of a Collateral Document delivered by Lender to
Borrower under a Trust Receipt for correction or completion.

 

(2)                                  Not more than one (1)
Business Day after (A) the date on which a Pledged Loan is determined to have
been originated based on untrue, incomplete or inaccurate information or
otherwise to be subject to fraud, whether or not Borrower had knowledge of the

3.3 (e)                In addition to the payments required by

Loan is prepaid in whole or in part (except for (A) regularly scheduled monthly
payments and (B) principal prepayments that in aggregate do not exceed $2,500)
while a Warehousing Advance is outstanding against the Pledged Loan, Borrower

Lender, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge
Borrower’s Operating Account for, the amount of the prepayment, to be applied
against the Warehousing Advance.

 

3.3 (f)                  The proceeds of the sale or other
disposition of Pledged Loans must be paid directly by the Investor to the Cash
Collateral Account.  Borrower must give
Notice to Lender in writing, or by telephone or by RFConnects Delivery to
Lender (and if by telephone, followed promptly by written Notice) of the
Pledged Loans for which proceeds have been received.  Upon receipt of Borrower’s Notice, Lender will apply any proceeds
deposited into the Cash Collateral Account to the payment of the Warehousing
Advances related to the Pledged Loans identified by Borrower in its Notice, and
those Pledged Loans will be considered to have been redeemed from pledge.  Lender is entitled to rely upon Borrower’s
affirmation that deposits in the Cash Collateral Account represent payments
from Investors for the purchase of the Pledged Loans specified by Borrower in
its Notice.  If the payment from an Investor
for the purchase of Pledged Loans is less than the outstanding Warehousing
Advances against the Pledged Loans identified by Borrower in its Notice,
Borrower must pay to Lender an amount equal to the deficiency.  If Borrower fails to pay the deficiency
within one (1) Business Day, Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding

deficiency.  As long as no Default or
Event of Default exists, Lender will return to Borrower any excess payment from

to Lender, within 3

 

6

 

Business Days after receipt of Lender’s e-mail, facsimile or written or
telephonic notice to Borrower, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the
Funding Bank to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, any amount required
after any such revaluation to reduce the principal amount of the Warehousing
Advance outstanding against any revalued Pledged Loan to an amount equal to (i)
in the case of Eligible Loans, 90% of the Fair Market Value of the Loan and
(ii) in the case of Exception Loans, 50% of the Fair Market Value of the Loan.

 

3.3 (h)               Lender reserves the right to review each
Seasoned Loan.  If Lender chooses to
review a Seasoned Loan, Lender’s review will generally take place within 60
days from the date of the Warehousing Advance against the Seasoned Loan.  If Lender, at any time and in its sole
discretion, determines that the Seasoned Loan is not an Eligible Loan, but is
an Exception Loan, then Borrower must pay to Lender, within 3 Business Day
after receipt of Lender’s e-mail, facsimile or written or telephonic notice to
Borrower, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge
Borrower’s Operating Account for, any amount required to reduce the principal
amount of the Warehousing Advance outstanding against the Seasoned Loan to an
amount equal to the applicable Warehousing Advance Rate for Exception Loans set
out on Exhibit H.  If Lender, at
any time and in its sole discretion, determines that a Seasoned Loan is neither
an Eligible Loan nor an Exception Loan, then Borrower must pay to Lender,
within 3 Business Day after receipt of Lender’s e-mail, facsimile or written or
telephonic notice to Borrower, and Borrower authorizes Lender to cause the
Funding Bank to charge Borrower’s Operating Account for, the amount of any
outstanding Warehousing Advance against that Seasoned Loan.

the amount of the Warehousing Commitment Fee if (a) the Warehousing
Commitment Amount is reduced or (b) the Warehousing Commitment is terminated,
in each case at the request of Borrower (including a request under paragraph
11.5) or as a result of an Event of Default. 
Lender’s determination of the Warehousing Commitment Fee for any period
is conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.  If this Agreement is terminated by either party for any reason,
Borrower is not obligated to pay Lender any Warehousing Commitment Fee after
the termination date.

 

3.5.                            Warehousing Fees

may make an additional Warehousing Advance to fund that overdraft (“Overdraft
Advance”).  Borrower must pay (a)
the outstanding amount of any Overdraft Advance within 1 Business Day after the
date of the Overdraft Advance and (b) interest on the amount of the Overdraft
Advance, at a rate per annum equal to the Bank One Prime Rate plus 2%,
not later than 9 days after receipt by Borrower of the related invoice from
Lender.

of Making Payments

 

3.8 (a)                Unless otherwise specified in this
Agreement, Borrower must make all payments under this Agreement to Lender by
the close of business on the date when due unless the date is not a Business

related statements of income, cash flows and changes in stockholders’ equity
for the fiscal period ended on each Statement Date, furnished to Lender, fairly
present the financial condition of Borrower (and, if applicable, Borrower’s
Subsidiaries) as at that Statement Date and the results of its operations for
the fiscal period ended on that Statement Date.  Borrower had, on each Statement Date, no known material
liabilities, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, matured or unmatured, or
liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or unusual forward or long-term

been no material adverse change in the business, operations, assets or
financial condition of Borrower (and, if applicable, Borrower’s Subsidiaries),

material adverse change in Borrower’s business, operations, assets or financial
condition as a whole, or that would affect the validity or enforceability of
this Agreement, the Warehousing Note or any other Loan Document.

 

6.8.                            Compliance with Laws

Note or any other Loan Document.

of its Subsidiaries has paid or caused to be paid all taxes shown on those
returns or on any assessment, to the extent that those taxes have become due,
including all FICA payments and withholding taxes, if appropriate.  The amounts reserved as a liability for
income and other taxes payable in the financial statements described in
Section 6.6 are sufficient for payment of all unpaid federal, state and
local income, excise, property and other taxes, whether or not disputed, of
Borrower and its Subsidiaries accrued for or applicable to the period and on
the dates of those financial statements and all years and periods prior to
those financial statements and for which Borrower and its Subsidiaries may be
liable in their own right or as transferee of the assets of, or as successor
to, any other Person.  No tax Liens have
been filed and no material claims are being asserted against Borrower, any
Subsidiary of Borrower or any property of Borrower or any Subsidiary of
Borrower with respect to any taxes, fees or charges.

 

6.12.                     Agreements

 

Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary of Borrower is a party to any
agreement, instrument or indenture or subject to any restriction materially and
adversely affecting its business, operations, assets or financial condition,
except as disclosed in the financial statements described in Section 6.6.  Neither Borrower nor any Subsidiary of
Borrower is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of
the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement, instrument
or indenture which default could result in a material adverse change in

whole.  No holder of any indebtedness of
Borrower or of any of its Subsidiaries has given notice of any asserted default

assets (whether real or personal, tangible or

 

19

 

intangible) reflected on the financial statements described in
Section 6.6, except for those properties and assets that Borrower has
disposed of since the date of those financial statements either in the ordinary
course of business or because they were no longer used or useful in the conduct
of Borrower’s or the Subsidiary’s business. 
All of Borrower’s properties and assets are free and clear of all Liens
except as disclosed in Borrower’s financial statements.

 

6.14.                     ERISA

 

Each Plan is in compliance with all applicable requirements of ERISA
and the Internal Revenue Code and with all material applicable rulings and
regulations issued under the provisions of ERISA and the Internal Revenue Code
setting forth those requirements, except where any failure to comply would not
result in a material loss to Borrower or any ERISA Affiliate.  All of the minimum funding standards or
other contribution obligations applicable to each Plan have been
satisfied.  No Plan is a defined-benefit
pension plan subject to Title IV of ERISA, and there is no Multiemployer
Plan.

if applicable, any Subsidiary is obligated to provide post-retirement medical
or insurance benefits with respect to employees or former employees.

 

6.16.                     Assumed Names

any names other than its legal name and the assumed names set forth on Exhibit G.  Borrower has made all filings and taken all
other action as may be required under the laws of any jurisdiction in which it
originates Loans or otherwise conducts business under any assumed name.  Borrower’s use of the assumed names set
forth on Exhibit G does not conflict with any other Person’s legal
rights to any such name, nor otherwise give rise to any liability by Borrower
to any other Person.  Borrower may amend
Exhibit G to add or delete any assumed names used by Borrower to conduct
business.  An amendment to Exhibit G
to add an assumed name is not effective until Borrower has delivered to Lender
an assumed name certificate in the jurisdictions in which the assumed name is
to be used, which must be satisfactory in form and content to Lender in its
sole discretion.  In connection with any
amendment to delete a name from Exhibit G, Borrower represents and
warrants that it has ceased using that assumed name in all jurisdictions.

 

6.17.                     Servicing

true and complete list of Borrower’s Servicing Portfolio.  All of Borrower’s Servicing Contracts are in
full force and effect, and are unencumbered by Liens other than Liens disclosed
in Exhibit C.  No default or
event that, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a default,
exists under any of Borrower’s Servicing Contracts.

9.6 (h)     Compare
the names of every obligor, guarantor and other obligor of every Pledged Loan,
together with appropriate identifying information concerning those Persons
obtained by Borrower, against every Restriction List, and make certain that
none of the obligors, guarantors or other obligors of any Pledged Loan is a
Person named in any Restriction List and to whom the provision of financial
services is prohibited or otherwise restricted by applicable law.

 

9.7.         Special Negative Covenants Concerning
Warehousing Collateral

 

As long as the
Warehousing Commitment is outstanding or there remain any Obligations to be

9.7 (c)     Make
any compromise, adjustment or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral or
accept other than cash in payment or liquidation of the Collateral.

10.1 (f)  An “event of default” (however defined) occurs
under any agreement between Borrower and Lender or an Affiliate of Lender other

10.2.       Remedies

 

10.2 (a)  If an Event of Default described in
Section 10.1 (g) occurs with respect to Borrower or any Guarantor, the
Warehousing Commitment will automatically terminate and the unpaid principal
amount of and accrued interest on the Warehousing Note and all other

demand or other Notice or requirements of any kind, all of which Borrower
expressly waives.

 

10.2 (b)  If any other Event of Default occurs, Lender may,
by Notice to Borrower, terminate the Warehousing Commitment and declare the
Obligations to be immediately due and payable.

 

10.2 (c)  If any Event of Default occurs, Lender may also
take any of the following actions:

 

36

 

(1)           Foreclose
upon or otherwise enforce its security interest in and Lien on the Collateral
to secure all payments and performance of the Obligations in any manner
permitted by law or provided for in the Loan Documents.

 

(2)           Notify
all obligors under any of the Collateral that the Collateral has been assigned
to Lender (or to another Person designated by Lender) and that all payments on
that Collateral are to be made directly to Lender (or such other Person);
settle, compromise or release, in whole or in part, any amounts any obligor or
Investor owes on any of the Collateral on terms acceptable to Lender; enforce
payment and prosecute any action or proceeding involving any of the Collateral;
and where any Collateral is in default, foreclose on and enforce any Liens
securing that Collateral in any manner permitted by law and sell any property
acquired as a result of those enforcement actions.

 

(3)           Prepare
and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code amendment statements evidencing
the assignment to Lender or its designee of any Uniform Commercial Code
financing statement filed in connection with any item of Collateral.

 

(4)           Transfer
Borrower’s Lien on any title related to any item of Collateral to Lender.  This may involve re-titling the item of
Collateral.

 

(5)           Act,
or contract with a third party to act at Borrower’s expense, as servicer or
subservicer of Collateral requiring servicing and perform all obligations
required under any Collateral, including Servicing Contracts and Purchase
Commitments.

 

(6)           Require
Borrower to assemble and make available to Lender the Collateral and all
related books and records at a place designated by Lender.

 

(7)           Enter
onto property where any Collateral or related books and records are located and
take possession of those items with or without judicial process; and obtain
access to Borrower’s data processing equipment, computer hardware and software
relating to the Collateral and use all of the foregoing and the information
contained in the foregoing in any manner Lender deems necessary for the purpose
of effectuating its rights under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.

 

(8)           Before
the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it for disposition in any manner and
to the extent Lender deems appropriate.

 

(9)           Exercise
all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under the Uniform Commercial Code
of Minnesota or other applicable law, including selling or otherwise disposing
of all or any portion of the Collateral at one or more public or private sales,
whether or not the Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or
credit or future delivery, on terms and conditions and in the manner as Lender
may determine, including sale under any applicable Purchase Commitment.  Borrower waives any right it may have to
prior notice of the sale of all or any portion of the Collateral to the extent
allowed by applicable law.  If notice is
required under applicable law, Lender will give Borrower not less than 10 days’
notice of any public sale or of the date after which any private sale may be
held.  Borrower agrees that 10 days’
notice is reasonable notice.  Lender
may, without notice or publication, adjourn any public or private sale one or
more times by announcement at the time and place fixed for the sale, and the
sale may be held at any time or place announced at the adjournment.  In the case of a sale of all or any portion
of the Collateral on credit or for future delivery, the Collateral sold on
those terms may be may be retained by Lender until the purchaser pays the
selling price or takes possession of the Collateral.  Lender has no liability to

 

37

 

Borrower if a
purchaser fails to pay for or take possession of Collateral sold on those
terms, and in the case of any such failure, Lender may sell the Collateral
again upon notice complying with this Section.

 

(10)         Instead
of or in conjunction with exercising the power of sale authorized by
Section 10.2 (c)(9), Lender may proceed by suit at law or in equity to
collect all amounts due on the Collateral, or to foreclose Lender’s Lien on and
sell all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to a judgment or decree of a
court of competent jurisdiction.

 

(11)         Proceed
against Borrower on the Warehousing Note or against any Guarantor under the
Guaranty.

 

(12)         Retain
all excess proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, and
apply them to the payment of the Obligations under Section 10.3.

 

10.2 (d)  Lender will incur no liability as a result of the
commercially reasonable sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the
Collateral at any public or private sale or other disposition.  Borrower waives (to the extent permitted by
law) any claims it may have against Lender arising by reason of the fact that
the price at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less
than the price that Lender might have obtained at a public sale, or was less
than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Warehousing Advances, accrued and
unpaid interest on those Warehousing Advances and unpaid fees, even if Lender
accepts the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to more than
one offeree.  Borrower agrees that any
sale of Collateral under the terms of a Purchase Commitment, or any other
disposition of Collateral arranged by Borrower, whether before or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, will be deemed to have been made in a
commercially reasonable manner.

 

10.2 (e)  Borrower waives any rights it may have to prior
notice of the sale of Pledged Loans, and Borrower agrees that Lender may
purchase Pledged Loans at a private sale of such Collateral.

 

10.2 (f)  Borrower specifically waives and releases (to the
extent permitted by law) any equity or right of redemption, stay or appraisal
that Borrower has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
adopted after the date of this Agreement, and any right to require Lender to
(1) proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any of
the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies against the Collateral in any
particular order or (3) pursue any other remedy within its power.  Lender is not required to take any action to
preserve any rights of Borrower against holders of mortgages having priority to
the Lien of any Mortgage or Security Agreement included in the Collateral or to
preserve Borrower’s rights against other prior parties.

 

10.2 (g)  Lender may, but is not obligated to, advance any
sums or do any act or thing necessary to uphold or enforce the Lien and
priority of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage or
Security Agreement included in the Collateral, including 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 Lender in exercising any
right, power or remedy conferred by this Agreement, or in the enforcement of
this Agreement, together with interest on those amounts at the Default Rate,
from the time paid by Lender until repaid by Borrower, are deemed to be
principal outstanding under this Agreement and the Warehousing Note.

 

10.2 (h)  No failure or delay on the part of Lender to
exercise any right, power or remedy provided in this Agreement or under any
other Loan Document, at law or in equity, will operate as a waiver of that
right, power or remedy.  No single or
partial exercise by Lender of any

 

38

 

right, power
or remedy provided under this Agreement or any other Loan Document, at law or
in equity, precludes any other or further exercise of that right, power, or
remedy by Lender, or Lender’s exercise of any other right, power or
remedy.  Without limiting the foregoing,
Borrower waives all defenses based on the statute of limitations to the extent
permitted by law.  The remedies provided
in this Agreement and the other Loan Documents are cumulative and are not
exclusive of any remedies provided at law or in equity.

 

10.2 (i)  Borrower grants Lender a license or other right to
use, without charge, Borrower’s computer programs, other programs, labels,
patents, copyrights, rights of use of any name, trade secrets, trade names,
trademarks, service marks and advertising matter, or any property of a similar
nature, as it pertains to the Collateral, in advertising for sale and selling
any of the Collateral, and Borrower’s rights under all licenses and all other
agreements related to the foregoing inure to Lender’s benefit until the
Obligations are paid in full.

 

10.3.       Application of Proceeds

 

Lender may
apply the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement of Lender’s
Lien on all or any portion of the Collateral to the payment of the Obligations
in the order Lender determines in its sole discretion.  From and after the indefeasible payment to
Lender of all of the Obligations, any remaining proceeds of the Collateral will
be paid to Borrower, or to its successors or assigns, or as a court of
competent jurisdiction may direct.  If
the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement of the Collateral
are insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of that sale, disposition or
other enforcement and payment in full of all Obligations, Borrower is liable
for the deficiency.

 

10.4.       Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact

 

Borrower
appoints Lender its attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, for the
purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note
and the other Loan Documents and taking any action and executing any
instruments that Lender deems necessary or advisable to accomplish that
purpose.  Borrower’s appointment of
Lender as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an interest.  Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Lender may give notice of its Lien on the Collateral to any Person,
either in Borrower’s name or in its own name, endorse all Pledged Loans payable
to the order of Borrower, prepare and submit for filing Uniform Commercial Code
amendment statements with respect to any Uniform Commercial Code financing
statements filed in connection with any item of Collateral, assign to itself
Borrower’s Lien noted on any certificate of title for any item of Collateral,
take any action to perfect or maintain a security interest in the Collateral or
to maintain or collect insurance on the Collateral, or receive, endorse and
collect all checks made payable to the order of Borrower representing payment
on account of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of, any
of the Pledged Loans and give full discharge for those transactions, and,
enforce the Retailer Agreement with respect to any of the Pledged Loans.

 

10.5.       Right of Set-Off

 

If Borrower
defaults in the payment of any Obligation or in the performance of any of its
duties under the Loan Documents, Lender may, without Notice to or demand on
Borrower (which Notice or demand Borrower expressly waives), set-off,
appropriate or apply any property of Borrower held at any time by Lender, or
any indebtedness at any time owed by Lender to or for the account of Borrower,
against the Obligations, whether or not those Obligations have matured.  Lender will

 

39

 

provide
Borrower with notice by telephonic, facsimile or e-mail within a reasonable
time after any set-off under this Section.

facsimile, from the first Business Day after the date of sending if sent by
overnight courier or from 4 days after the date of mailing if sent by United
States mail, except that Notices to Lender under Article 2 and
Section 3.3 (f) shall be deemed to have been given only when actually

Lender to accept Borrower’s bailee pledge agreements, Warehousing Advance
Requests, shipping requests, wire transfer instructions and security delivery
instructions transmitted to Lender by facsimile or by RFConnects Delivery, and
those documents, when transmitted to Lender by facsimile or RFConnects
Delivery, have the same force and effect as the originals.

 

11.2.       Reimbursement Of Expenses; Indemnity

 

Borrower
must:  (a) pay Lender a document
production fee in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this
Agreement; (b) pay such additional documentation production fees as Lender
may require and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Lender, including
reasonable fees, service charges and disbursements of counsel to Lender, in
connection with the amendment, enforcement and administration of this
Agreement, the Warehousing Note, and other Loan Documents, the making,
repayment and payment of interest on the Warehousing Advances and the payment
of all other Obligations under Loan Documents, and pay Lender the allocated
costs of internal counsel in connection with the amendment of this Agreement;
(c) indemnify, pay and hold harmless Lender and any other holder of the
Warehousing Note from and against all present and future stamp, documentary and
other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and save Lender and
any other holder of the Warehousing Note harmless from and against all
liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such
taxes; and (d) indemnify, pay and hold harmless Lender and all of its
Affiliates, officers, directors, employees or agents and any subsequent holder
of the Warehousing Note (collectively called the “Indemnitees”) from and
against all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments,

 

41

 

suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Indemnitees in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the
Indemnitees have been designated as parties to such proceeding) that may be
imposed upon, incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner
relating to or arising out of this Agreement, the Warehousing Note, or any
other Loan Document or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement,
the Warehousing Note and the other Loan Documents, including against all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements of every kind or nature (including the reasonable
fees and disbursements of counsel to the Indemnitees in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not the
Indemnitees have been designated as parties to such proceeding) arising from
any breach of Sections 9.2(n) or 9.6 (h) or the making of any Loan in which any
obligor, guarantor or other obligor is a Person named in any Restriction List
and to whom the provision of financial services is prohibited or otherwise
restricted by applicable law (“Indemnified Liabilities”), except that
Borrower has no obligation under this Agreement with respect to Indemnified
Liabilities arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any such
Indemnitees.  To the extent that the
undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless as set forth in the preceding
sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public
policy, Borrower must contribute the maximum portion that it is permitted to
pay and satisfy under applicable law to the payment and satisfaction of all
Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnitees or any of them.  The agreement of Borrower contained in this
Article survives the expiration or termination of this Agreement and the
payment in full of the Warehousing Note. 
Attorneys’ fees and disbursements incurred in enforcing, or on appeal
from, a judgment under this Agreement are recoverable separately from and in
addition to any other amount included in such judgment, and this clause is
intended to be severable from the other provisions of this Agreement and to
survive and not be merged into such judgment.

 

11.3.       Financial Information

 

All financial
statements and reports furnished to Lender under this Agreement must be
prepared in accordance with GAAP, applied on a basis consistent with that
applied in preparing the financial statements as at the end of and for
Borrower’s most recent fiscal year (except to the extent otherwise required to
conform to good accounting practice).

 

11.4.       Terms Binding Upon Successors; Survival
of Representations

 

The terms and
provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Borrower, Lender and their respective successors and assigns.  All of Borrower’s representations,
warranties, covenants and agreements survive the making of any Warehousing
Advance and, except where a longer period is set forth in this Agreement,
remain effective for as long as the Warehousing Commitment is outstanding or
there remain any Obligations to be paid or performed.

 

11.5.       Assignment

 

Borrower
cannot assign this Agreement.  Lender
may at any time, without Notice to or the consent of Borrower, transfer or
assign, in whole or in part, its interest in this Agreement and the Warehousing
Note along with Lender’s security interest in any of the Collateral (a) in connection
with a participation agreement, (b) to an Affiliate, or (c) in connection with
any arrangement maintained by Lender to fund credit facilities provided by the
Lender, and any such assignee of Lender will be considered to be the Lender
under this Agreement and may enforce this Agreement, the Warehousing Note and
its security interest in the Collateral assigned.  If Lender intends to assign this Agreement other than (i) in
connection with a participation agreement, (ii) to

 

42

 

an Affiliate,
or (iii) in connection with any arrangement maintained by Lender to fund credit
facilities provided by the Lender, then Lender will provide Notice to Borrower
no later than 30 days prior to the assignment, and Borrower may elect to
terminate this Agreement as set forth in Section 11.18.  Borrower’s election to terminate this
Agreement must be exercised within ten (10) Business Days of Lender’s Notice,
and failure of Borrower to provide Notice of termination to Lender within ten
(10) Business Days of Lender’s Notice will be deemed to be consent by Borrower
to an assignment described in the preceding sentence.

 

11.6.       Amendments

 

Except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement may not be amended,
modified or supplemented unless the amendment, modification or supplement is
set forth in a writing signed by both Borrower and Lender.

 

11.7.       Governing Law

 

This Agreement
and the other Loan Documents are governed by the laws of the State of
Minnesota, without reference to its principles of conflicts of laws.

 

11.8.       Participations

 

Lender may at
any time sell, assign or grant participations in, or otherwise transfer to any
other Person (“Participant”), all or part of the Obligations.  Without limiting Lender’s exclusive right to
collect and enforce the Obligations, Borrower agrees that each participation
will give rise to a debtor-creditor relationship between Borrower and the
Participant, and Borrower authorizes each Participant, upon the occurrence of
an Event of Default, to proceed directly by right of setoff, banker’s lien or
otherwise, against any assets of Borrower that may be held by that
Participant.  Borrower authorizes Lender
to disclose to prospective and actual Participants all information in Lender’s
possession concerning Borrower, this Agreement and the Collateral.  Lender agrees that it will only disclose
Borrower information to prospective and actual Participants, if those
Participants are subject to a confidentiality agreement substantially in the
form of Exhibit J to this Agreement.

 

11.9.       Relationship of the Parties

 

This Agreement
provides for the making and repayment of Warehousing Advances by Lender (in its
capacity as a lender) and Borrower (in its capacity as a borrower), for the
payment of interest on those Warehousing Advances and for the payment of
certain fees by Borrower to Lender.  The
relationship between Lender and Borrower is limited to that of creditor and
secured party on the part of Lender and of debtor on the part of Borrower.  The provisions of this Agreement and the
other Loan Documents for compliance with financial covenants and the delivery
of financial statements and other operating reports are intended solely for the
benefit of Lender to protect its interest as a creditor and secured party.  Nothing in this Agreement creates or may be
construed as permitting or obligating Lender to act as a financial or business
advisor or consultant to Borrower, as permitting or obligating Lender to control
Borrower or to conduct Borrower’s operations, as creating any fiduciary
obligation on the part of Lender to Borrower, or as creating any joint venture,
partnership, agency or other relationship between Lender and Borrower other
than as explicitly and specifically stated in the Loan Documents.  Borrower acknowledges that it has had the
opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choice in
connection with the negotiation and execution of the Loan Documents and to
obtain the advice of that counsel with respect to all matters contained in the
Loan Documents, including the waivers of jury trial and of punitive,
consequential, special or indirect damages contained in Sections 11.16 and
11.17, respectively.  Borrower further
acknowledges that it is experienced with respect to

 

43

 

financial and
credit matters and has made its own independent decisions to apply to Lender
for credit and to execute and deliver this Agreement.

 

11.10.     Severability

 

If any
provision of this Agreement is declared to be illegal or unenforceable in any

GUARANTY

 

THIS GUARANTY, dated September 3, 2004, is made and given by
FLEETWOOD ENTERPRISES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“Guarantor”),
to RESIDENTIAL FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (“Lender”).

 

RECITALS

 

A.            Lender
has agreed to make certain accommodations (“Loan”) to HOMEONE CREDIT
CORP., a Delaware corporation (“Borrower”).

 

B.            The Loan
is evidenced by Borrower’s Promissory Note dated as of September 3, 2004
(as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, including any other instruments
executed and delivered in renewal, extension, rearrangement or otherwise in
replacement of that promissory note, the “Note”)  and by a Warehousing Credit
and Security Agreement (Manufactured Housing) dated as of September 3,
2004 (as amended, restated, renewed or replaced, including any other
instruments executed and delivered in renewal, extension, rearrangement or
otherwise in replacement of that agreement, the “Agreement”).

 

C.            Guarantor
is the sole shareholder of Borrower and will derive substantial benefits from
the Loan.

 

D.            Lender
refuses to make the Loan until Lender receives this Guaranty.

 

E.             In
order to induce Lender to accept the Note  and the Agreement and to make the Loan to
Borrower, Guarantor is willing to execute and deliver this Guaranty to Lender.

 

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, Guarantor agrees with Lender as follows:

 

1.             Definitions;
Rules of Construction.  Unless
otherwise defined in this Guaranty, all capitalized terms have the meanings
given to those terms in the Agreement. 
Defined terms may be used in the singular or the plural, as the context
requires.  The words “include,”
“includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the phrase “without
limitation.”  Unless the context in
which it is used otherwise clearly requires, the word “or” has the inclusive
meaning represented by the phrase “and/or.” 
References to Sections are to Sections of this Guaranty unless otherwise
expressly provided.

 

2.             Guaranty
of Payment and Performance. 
Guarantor irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to
Lender the due and prompt payment (and not just the collectibility) by Borrower
of (a) the principal, and (b) all interest, fees, late charges and other
indebtedness arising under the Note  and the Agreement, when due, whether at maturity,
by reason of acceleration or otherwise, all at the times, places and at the
rates described in, and otherwise according to the terms of, the Note and the
Agreement, and all whether currently existing or created or arising after the
date of this Guaranty.  Guarantor also
irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees to Lender the due and
prompt performance by Borrower of all other duties and obligations of Borrower
contained in the Note  and the Agreement, and the due and prompt
payment of all costs and expenses incurred by Lender (including reasonable
attorneys’ fees, court costs and other litigation expenses such as expert
witness fees, exhibit preparation and courier, postage, communication and
document copying expenses) to enforce the payment and performance of the Note,
the Agreement and this Guaranty.  The
payment and performance of the items set forth in this Section are
collectively referred to as the “Guaranteed Debt.”  Any sum payable by Guarantor to Lender under
this Guaranty will bear interest from the date due until paid at a per annum
rate of interest equal to the highest Default Rate then applicable under the
Agreement.

 

1

 

3.             Right
of Set-Off.  After an Event of
Default occurs and while it is continuing, Lender may, without notice or demand
to Guarantor (which notice or demand Guarantor expressly waives), set-off and
apply any property of Guarantor in Lender’s possession or control, or standing
to the credit of Guarantor, to the payment of the Guaranteed Debt.

 

4.             Other
Transactions.  Guarantor (a)
consents to all modifications of the terms and conditions of the Guaranteed
Debt and to all extensions or renewals of the time of payment or performance of
the Guaranteed Debt by Borrower; (b) agrees that Lender need not resort to
legal remedies against Borrower or take action against any other Person
obligated (an “Obligor”) for the payment or performance of the
Guaranteed Debt or against any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt before proceeding
against Guarantor under this Guaranty; (c) agrees that no release of Borrower
or any other guarantor or Obligor, and no release, exchange or nonperfection of
any collateral for the Guaranteed Debt, whether by operation of law or by any
act or failure to act of Lender, with or without notice to Guarantor, shall
release Guarantor (other than release of Borrower upon irrevocable payment in
full of the Guaranteed Debt); (d) waives presentment, demand, notice of demand,
dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest and any other
notice with respect to the Guaranteed Debt and this Guaranty, and promptness in
commencing suit against any party to or liable on the Guaranteed Debt or in
giving any notice to or making any claim or demand upon Guarantor under this
Guaranty; (e) waives any defense arising by reason of any disability or other
defense of Borrower for payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt or by
reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of Borrower for
the Guaranteed Debt other than full payment; and (f) waives, to the extent
permitted by law, all benefit of valuation, appraisement and exemptions under
the laws of the State of Minnesota or any other state or territory of the
United States.

 

5.             Continuing
Guaranty.  Guarantor’s obligations
under this Guaranty are primary, absolute and unconditional.  Only full and irrevocable payment and
performance of the Guaranteed Debt will discharge Guarantor’s obligations under
this Guaranty.  Guarantor’s obligations
under this Guaranty are not impaired or affected by: (a) the genuineness,
validity, regularity or enforceability of, or any amendment or change in the
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or any change in or extension of the
manner, place or terms of payment of, all or any portion of the Guaranteed
Debt; (b) Lender’s taking or failure to take any action to enforce the
Agreement or the other Loan Documents, or Lender’s exercise or failure to
exercise any remedy, power or privilege contained in the Loan Documents or
available at law or otherwise, or the waiver by Lender of any provisions of the
Agreement or the other Loan Documents; (c) any impairment, modification,
change, release or limitation in any manner of the liability of Borrower or its
estate in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of Borrower’s
liability, resulting from the operation of any present or future provision of
the bankruptcy laws or any other statute or regulation, or the dissolution,
bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of Borrower; (d) the merger or
consolidation of Borrower, or any sale or transfer by Borrower of all or any
part of its assets or property; (e) any claim Guarantor may have against any
other Obligor, including any claim of contribution; (f) the release, in whole
or in part, of any other guarantor (if more than one), Borrower or any other
Obligor; (g) any settlement or compromise with any Obligor with respect to any
Guaranteed Debt or the subordination of the payment of all or any part of the
Guaranteed Debt to the payment of any other debts or claims that may at any
time be due and owing to Lender or any other Person; or (h) any other action or
circumstance that may (with or without notice to or knowledge of Guarantor) in
any manner or to any extent vary the risks of Guarantor under this Guaranty or
otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or defense.  Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty
are in addition to Guarantor’s obligations under any other guaranties of the
Guaranteed Debt or any other obligations of Borrower or any other Persons, and
this Guaranty does not affect or invalidate those other guaranties.  Guarantor’s liability to Lender is deemed to
be the aggregate liability of Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty and
any other guaranties made by Guarantor in favor of Lender before or after the
date of this Guaranty.

 

6.             Application
of Payments.  Lender has the
exclusive right to determine the application of all payments and credits
(whether derived from Borrower or from any other source) to be made on the
Guaranteed Debt and any other indebtedness owed by Borrower or any other
Obligor to Lender.  Lender has no
obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantor or in payment of all or
any part of the Guaranteed Debt.

 

2

 

7.             Recovery
of Payments.  Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty continue to be effective, or are automatically
reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time the performance or the payment,
in whole or in part, of any of the Guaranteed Debt is rescinded or must
otherwise be restored or returned by Lender (as a preference, fraudulent
conveyance or otherwise) upon or as a result of (a) the insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of Borrower, Guarantor
or any other Person, (b) the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or
other officer with similar powers with respect to Borrower, Guarantor or any
other Person, (c) the appointment of a custodian, receiver, trustee or other
officer with similar powers with respect to any substantial part of Borrower’s,
Guarantor’s or any other Person’s property, or (d) any other action or event,
all as though those payments had not been made.  If an Event of Default exists and a case or proceeding against
Guarantor or Borrower under a bankruptcy or insolvency law prevents Lender from
declaring a default and accelerating Guarantor’s obligations under this
Guaranty or from declaring a default and accelerating any Guaranteed Debt,
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty will be deemed to have been
declared in default and accelerated with the same effect as if this Guaranty
and those obligations had been declared in default and accelerated in
accordance with their respective terms, and Guarantor must immediately perform
or pay, as the case may be, as required under the terms of this Guaranty
without further notice or demand.

 

8.             No
Subrogation.  Until the Guaranteed
Debt has been irrevocably paid and performed in full, Guarantor irrevocably
waives any claims or other rights that Guarantor now has or may acquire against
Borrower that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of
Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty, including any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and
any right to participate in any claim or remedy of Lender against Borrower or
any collateral that Lender now has or may acquire, whether or not that claim,
remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or common law,
including the right to take or receive from Borrower, directly or indirectly,
in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security
on account of that claim or other right. 
In addition, to the extent permitted by law, Guarantor irrevocably
releases and waives any such subrogation rights or rights of reimbursement,
exoneration, contribution or indemnity to the extent any such rights give rise
to a claim under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that payments or transfers to Lender
with respect to the Guaranteed Debt constitute a preference in favor of
Guarantor or a claim under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that the preference is
recoverable from Lender.  Any amount
paid to Guarantor in violation of the preceding two sentences is deemed to have
been paid to Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, Lender and
must immediately be paid to Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed
Debt, whether matured or unmatured. 
Notwithstanding the blanket waiver of subrogation rights set forth
above, Guarantor specifically acknowledges that any subrogation rights that
Guarantor may have against Borrower or any collateral that Lender now has or
may acquire may be destroyed by a nonjudicial foreclosure of the collateral.  Without limiting the foregoing, Guarantor
waives all rights and defenses arising out of Lender’s election of remedies,
even though that election of remedies (such as a nonjudicial foreclosure with
respect to security for any Guaranteed Debt) may destroy Guarantor’s rights of
subrogation and reimbursement against Borrower.  To the extent permitted by Part 6 of Article 9 of the
Uniform commercial Code of Minnesota or of any other applicable jurisdiction (“Part
6”), Guarantor also waives the right to require Lender to comply with the
provisions of Part 6 in connection with Lender’s enforcement of any security
interest securing the payment or performance of the Guaranteed Debt.  Guarantor specifically acknowledges that
Guarantor will receive direct and indirect benefits from the arrangements
contemplated by the Agreement and that the waivers set forth in this
Section are knowingly made in contemplation of those benefits. Guarantor
agrees that Lender will incur no liability as a result of the commercially
reasonable sale or other disposition of all or any portion of the Collateral at
any public or private sale or other disposition.  Guarantor waives (to the extent permitted by law) any claims
Guarantor may have against Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price
at which the Collateral may have been sold at a private sale was less than the
price that Lender might have obtained at a public sale, or was less than the
aggregate amount of the Guaranteed Debt, even if Lender accepts the first offer
received and does not offer the Collateral to more than one offeree.  Guarantor agrees that any sale of Collateral
under the terms of a Purchase Commitment, or any other disposition of
Collateral arranged by Borrower, whether before or after the occurrence of an
Event of Default, will be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable
manner.  Guarantor acknowledges that
Mortgage Loans are collateral of a type that is the subject of widely
distributed standard price quotations and that Mortgage-backed Securities are
collateral of a type that is customarily sold on a recognized

 

3

 

market.  Guarantor waives any
right Guarantor may have to prior notice of the sale of Pledged Securities, and
agrees that Lender may purchase Pledged Loans and Pledged Securities at a
private sale of such Collateral.

 

9.             Remedies.  Lender’s postponement or delay in the
enforcement of any right under this Guaranty is not a waiver of that right and
all of Lender’s rights under this Guaranty are cumulative and not alternative
and are in addition to any other rights granted to Lender in any other
agreement or by law.  Guarantor
understands and acknowledges that time is of the essence with respect to the
performance of Guarantor’s obligations under this Guaranty.

 

10.           Reaffirmation.  When requested by Lender, Guarantor must
promptly execute and deliver a written reaffirmation of this Guaranty in such
form as Lender may require.

 

11.           Representations,
Warranties and Covenants.  Guarantor
represents, warrants to Lender and agrees for the benefit of Lender, as
follows:

 

(a)                                  Organization
and Good Standing.  Guarantor is a
Delaware corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing
under the laws of such State and has the full legal power and authority to own
its property and to carry on its business as currently conducted.  Guarantor is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in
which the transaction of its business makes qualification necessary, except in
jurisdictions, if any, where a failure to be in good standing has no material
adverse effect on Guarantor’s business, operations, assets or financial
condition as a whole.  For the purposes
of this Guaranty, good standing includes qualification for any and all licenses
and payment of any and all taxes required in the jurisdiction of its
corporation and in each jurisdiction in which Guarantor transacts business.

 

(b)                                 Authority
and Authorization.  Guarantor has
the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Guaranty.  The execution, delivery and
performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty has been duly and validly authorized
by all necessary corporate action on the part of Guarantor (none of which
actions has been modified or rescinded, and all of which actions are in full
force and effect).  The execution,
delivery and performance by Guarantor of this Guaranty do not and will not
conflict with or violate any provision of law, any judgments binding upon
Guarantor, or the articles of organization or operating agreement of Guarantor,
and do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a
default or require any consent under any agreement, instrument or indenture to
which Guarantor is a party or by which Guarantor or its property may be bound
or affected.  This Guaranty constitutes
the legal, valid, and binding obligation of Guarantor, enforceable in
accordance with its terms, except as limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights.

 

(c)                                  Financial
Statements.  All financial
statements and other information given to Lender with respect to Guarantor
fairly and accurately present in all material respects the financial condition
of Guarantor as of the date of those financial statements and that information,
and there has been no material adverse change in the financial condition of
Guarantor since the date of those financial statements and that
information.  Guarantor must promptly
deliver to Lender (or to Borrower in time for Borrower to deliver to Lender)
all financial statements, tax returns and other information about Guarantor
that are required by the Agreement or requested by Lender.

 

(d)                                 No
Default.  Guarantor is not in
default with respect to any order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any
court or other governmental authority, in the payment of any material debt for
borrowed money or under any material agreement evidencing or securing any such
debt.

 

4

 

(e)                                  Solvency.  Guarantor is now solvent, and there are no
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings pending or contemplated by or, to the
Guarantor’s knowledge, against Guarantor.

 

(f)                                    Relationship
to Borrower.  The consideration
received or to be received by Guarantor as a result of the Loan is worth as
much or more than the liabilities and obligations incurred by Guarantor under
this Guaranty.  Guarantor has had full
and complete access to the Agreement and the Note  and all other Loan Documents
relating to the Guaranteed Debt, has reviewed them and is fully aware of the
meaning and effect of those documents. 
Guarantor is fully informed of all facts and circumstances that bear
upon the risks of executing this Guaranty, including all facts that a diligent
inquiry would reveal.  Guarantor has the
ability to obtain from Borrower on a continuing basis information concerning
Borrower’s financial condition, and Guarantor is not relying on Lender to
provide such information.  Except as
specifically required by this Guaranty, Lender has no obligation to advise or
notify Guarantor or to provide Guarantor with any data or information about
Borrower.  Lender has not agreed to
make, extend or modify any loan or other financial accommodation to or for
Guarantor in consideration of Guarantor’s execution and delivery of this
Guaranty.

 

(g)                                 Litigation.  There are no actions, claims, suits or
proceedings pending or, to Guarantor’s knowledge, threatened or reasonably
anticipated against or affecting Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor in
any court or before any arbitrator or before any government commission, board,
bureau or other administrative agency that, if adversely determined, may
reasonably be expected to result in a material adverse change in Guarantor’s
business, operations, assets or financial condition as a whole, or that would
affect the validity or enforceability of this Guaranty.

 

(h)                                 Taxes.  Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries has
filed or caused to be filed all federal, state and local income, excise,
property and other tax returns that are required to be filed with respect to
the operations of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries, all such returns are true and
correct and Guarantor and each of its Subsidiaries has paid or caused to be
paid all taxes shown on those returns or on any assessment, to the extent that
those taxes have become due, including all FICA payments and withholding taxes,
if appropriate.  The amounts reserved as
a liability for income and other taxes payable in the financial statements
delivered to Lender under the Agreement are sufficient for payment of all
unpaid federal, state and local income, excise, property and other taxes,
whether or not disputed, of Guarantor and its Subsidiaries accrued for or
applicable to the period and on the dates of those financial statements and all
years and periods prior to those financial statements and for which Guarantor
and its Subsidiaries may be liable in their own right or as transferee of the
assets of, or as successor to, any other Person.  No tax Liens have been filed and no material claims are being
asserted against Guarantor, any Subsidiary of Guarantor or any property of
Guarantor or any Subsidiary of Guarantor with respect to any taxes, fees or
charges.

 

Guarantor’s representations and warranties in this Guaranty will
survive the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty and the
creation and payment of the Guaranteed Debt.

 

12.           RESERVED

 

13.           No
Interest in Pledged Loans. 
Guarantor represents and warrants that Guarantor does not have a
security interest in, assignment of, or any other rights in the Pledged Loans,
and Guarantor covenants that it will not accept a security interest in,
assignment of, or any other rights in the Pledged Loans so long as Borrower
owes any Obligations to Lender.

 

14.           Governing
Law.  This Guaranty is governed by
the laws of the State of Minnesota, without reference to its principles of
conflicts of laws.

 

5

 

15.           Severability.  Any provision of this Guaranty declared to
