[Co-Managers]
Dear Sirs:
1. Offer to Purchase. Source One Mortgage Services
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), proposes to make an offer,
upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Prospectus (as
hereinafter defined) and the related Letter of Transmittal (the "Letter of
Transmittal") (which together constitute the "Exchange Offer"), to exchange up
to $100,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its __% Quarterly Income Capital
Securities ("QUICS") for any and all of its outstanding shares of 8.42%
Cumulative Preferred Stock, Series A (the "Shares").
Each QUICS consists of $25 principal amount of Subordinated
Interest Deferrable Debentures, Due 2025 (the "Debentures"). The Debentures
are to be issued under an indenture dated as of ___________ __, 1995 (the "Base
Indenture") between the Company and IBJ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Bank & Trust Company, as
trustee (the "Trustee") to be amended by a supplemental indenture (the
"Supplemental Indenture") to be dated as of _______ __, 1995 (the Base

"Indenture").
2. Appointment as Dealer Managers. The Company hereby
appoints ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Brothers Inc., ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & Co., PaineWebber Incorporated,
Prudential Securities Incorporated and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Inc. (collectively, the
"Dealer Managers") as dealer managers and authorizes the Dealer Managers to act
as such in connection with the Exchange Offer. As Dealer Managers, each Dealer
Manager agrees, in accordance with its customary practice, to perform those
services in connection with the Exchange Offer as are customarily performed by
investment banking concerns acting as a dealer manager in connection with
exchange offers of like nature and as are reasonably requested by the Company
from time to time in connection therewith, including, without limitation, using
its best efforts to solicit tenders of the Shares pursuant to the Exchange
Offer and communicating with brokers, dealers, banks, trust companies and other
persons with respect to the Exchange Offer. The Company acknowledges and
agrees that no Dealer Manager, acting in its role as a Dealer Manager, will
recommend to any stockholder how such stockholder should act with respect to
the Exchange Offer. In soliciting or obtaining tenders, each Dealer Manager,
as a Dealer Manager, is acting as an independent contractor and shall not be
2
2
deemed to be acting as the agent of the Company and no broker, dealer, bank or
trust company shall be deemed to be acting as any Dealer Manager's agent. Each
Dealer Manager is authorized to use copies of the Exchange Offer Materials (as
defined in Paragraph 6(c) hereof) in connection with the solicitation of
tenders of the Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
3. No Liability for Acts of Dealer Managers, Etc. No Dealer
Manager shall have any liability (in tort, contract or otherwise) to the
Company or any other person for any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses arising from any act or omission on the part of any broker, dealer
(other than such Dealer Manager), commercial bank or trust company or any other
person and no Dealer Manager shall have any liability (in tort, contract or
otherwise) to the Company or any other person for any losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses arising from its own acts or omissions in performing
its obligations hereunder or otherwise in connection with the Company's
proposed acquisition of the Shares, except for any such losses, claims,
damages, liabilities or expenses which are determined, in a final judgement by
a court of competent jurisdiction or a settlement in which the issue is
established by stipulation, to have resulted directly from acts or omissions
taken by it through its gross negligence or willful misconduct.
4. Compensation. (a) The Company agrees to pay the Dealer
Managers as compensation for their services as Dealer Managers hereunder a fee
of $0.25 per each Share tendered and accepted pursuant to the terms of the
Exchange Offer. No compensation shall be paid pursuant to this Paragraph 4 if
the Exchange Offer is terminated by the Company.
(b) The Company agrees to pay to each dealer as to which an
authorized designation of such dealer has been made on a Letter of Transmittal
relating to Shares tendered in the Exchange Offer (such dealer a "Soliciting
Dealer"), including each Dealer Manager who is designated as a Soliciting
Dealer, as soon as practicable after the date any Shares are accepted for
exchange (the "Acceptance Date"), a solicitation fee of $0.50 per Share for
each Share tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
On such date, the Company also agrees to pay to the Dealer Managers an amount
equal to $0.50 for each Share tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to
the Exchange Offer and in respect of which no authorized designation of any
Soliciting Dealer has been made on the Letter of Transmittal relating to such
Shares.
(c) The Company agrees to reimburse the Soliciting Dealers
for their reasonable mailing and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
communicating with beneficial owners of Shares and transmitting securities.

Commencement Date (if different), and the Incorporated
Documents, as of their respective dates, and the 13E-4
Statement and the 13E-3 Statement and any other Exchange Offer
Materials, as of the Commencement Date, did not include any
untrue statement of a material fact and did not omit to state

All opinions, letters, evidence and certificates mentioned
above or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be deemed to be in compliance with

8. Withdrawal. In the event that (i) the Company uses or
permits the use of any Exchange Offer Materials or files any such material with
the Commission without the Dealer Managers' prior approval which the Dealer
Managers, in good faith after consultation with the Company, believe makes it
inadvisable for the
17
17
Dealer Managers to act as Dealer Managers hereunder, (ii) any restraining order
or other injunctive order shall have been issued or any action, suit or
proceeding shall have been commenced with respect to the Exchange Offer or with
respect to any of the transactions in connection with, or contemplated by, the
Exchange Offer or this Agreement before any court or governmental agency or
other regulatory body or administrative authority which the Dealer Managers, in
good faith after consultation with the Company, believe makes it legally
inadvisable for the Dealer Managers to continue to act hereunder, (iii) the
Company shall be in violation, in any material respect, of any of its
representations, warranties and agreements hereunder or (iv) the Dealer
Managers continuing to act as Dealer Managers would in the Dealer Managers'
reasonable judgment violate any applicable statute, regulation or other law of
the United States or any state or other political subdivision thereof, then the
Dealer Managers shall be entitled to withdraw as Dealer Managers in connection
with the Exchange Offer without any liability or penalty to the Dealer Managers
or any other Indemnified Person (as defined in Paragraph 9(a)) as a result of
such withdrawal and the Dealer Managers shall be entitled to receive the
payment of the expenses specified in Paragraph 6(l) hereof. In the event the
Dealer Managers withdraw as dealer managers the Company shall file an amendment
to the Registration Statement with the Commission reflecting such withdrawal.
9. Indemnification. (a) The Company agrees to hold harmless
and indemnify each Dealer Manager, each Soliciting Dealer and their respective
affiliates and any officer, director, employee or agent of either thereof and
any person controlling (within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Exchange
Act; each Dealer Manager, each Soliciting Dealer or any of such persons
(collectively, the "Indemnified Persons")) from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses whatsoever (as incurred or suffered,
and including, but not limited to, any and all legal or other expenses
reasonably and actually incurred in connection with investigating, preparing to
defend or defending any lawsuit, claim or other proceeding, commenced or
threatened, whether or not resulting in any liability, which legal or other
expenses shall be reimbursed by the Company promptly after receipt of any
invoices therefor from such Dealer Manager) (i) arising out of or based upon
(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Exchange Offer Material or any amendment or supplement to such
Exchange Offer Material or in any other solicitation material used by the
Company or authorized by it for use in connection with the Exchange Offer, or
arising out of or based upon the omission or alleged omission to state in any
such document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in
order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which
they were made, not misleading (other than statements or omissions made solely
in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished by the Dealer
Managers in writing to the Company expressly for use therein), (B) any
withdrawal or termination by the Company of, or failure by the Company to make
or consummate, the Exchange Offer, (C) any actions
18
18
taken or omitted to be taken by an Indemnified Person with the express consent
of the Company or (D) any breach by the Company of any representation or
warranty, or any failure by the Company to comply with any agreement or
covenant, contained in this Agreement or (ii) arising out of, relating to or in
connection with or alleged to arise out of, relate to or be in connection with
the Exchange Offer, any of the other transactions contemplated by the
Prospectus or the performance of such Dealer Manager's services as a dealer
manager with respect to the Exchange Offer. However, the Company will not be
obligated to indemnify an Indemnified Person for any loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense which has been determined in a final judgment by a court
of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from gross negligence or willful
misconduct on the part of such Indemnified Person.
(b) If any lawsuit, claim or proceeding is brought against
any Indemnified Person in respect of which indemnification may be sought
against the Company pursuant to Paragraph 9(a), such Indemnified Person shall
promptly notify in writing the Company of the commencement of such lawsuit,
claim or proceeding; provided, however, that the failure so to notify the
Company shall not relieve the Company from any obligation or liability which
either of them may have under Paragraph 9(a) except to the extent that they
have been prejudiced in any material respect by such failure. In case any such
lawsuit, claim or proceeding shall be brought against any Indemnified Person
and such Indemnified Person shall notify in writing the Company of the
commencement of such lawsuit, claim or proceeding, the Company shall be
entitled to participate in such lawsuit, claim or proceeding, and, to the
extent the Company may elect upon written notice to such Indemnified Person, to
assume the defense of such lawsuit, claim or proceeding with counsel of its
choice at its expense; provided, however, that such counsel shall be
satisfactory to the Indemnified Person in the exercise of its reasonable
judgment. If the defendants in any such action include both an Indemnified
Person and the Company, and the Indemnified Person shall have reasonably
concluded that there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Person
which are different from or in addition to those available to the Company, the
Indemnified Person shall have the right to select separate counsel to assert
such legal defenses and to otherwise participate in the defense of such action
on behalf of such Indemnified Person. Upon receipt of notice from the Company
to such Indemnified Person of its election so as to assume the defense of such
action and approval by the Indemnified Person of counsel, the Company will not
be liable to such Indemnified Person hereunder for any legal or other expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with the defense
thereof unless (i) the Indemnified Person shall have employed separate counsel
in connection with the assertion of its legal defenses in accordance with the
preceding sentence (it being understood, however, that the Company shall not be
liable for the expense of more than one separate counsel (and, if an action is
brought in more than one jurisdiction, one local counsel in each affected
jurisdiction) selected by the Indemnified Person), (ii) the Company shall not
have employed counsel
19
19
reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to represent the Indemnified
Person within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of action or (iii)
the Company have authorized the employment of counsel for the Indemnified
Person at the expense of the Company; and except that, if clause (i) or (iii)
is applicable, such liability shall be only in respect of the counsel referred
to in such clause (i) or (iii). The foregoing indemnification commitments
shall apply whether or not the Indemnified Person is a formal party to any such
lawsuit, claim or proceeding. The Company shall not be liable for any
settlement of any lawsuit, claim or proceeding effected without its consent
(which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with such
consent, the Company agrees, subject to the provisions of this Paragraph 9(b),
to indemnify the Indemnified Person from and against any loss, damage or
liability by reason of such settlement. The Company agrees to notify the
Dealer Managers promptly, or cause the Dealer Managers to be notified promptly,
of the assertion of any lawsuit, claim or proceeding against the Company, any
of its officers or directors or any person who controls any of the foregoing
within the meaning of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, arising out of or
relating to the Offer.
(c) The Company and the Dealer Manager agree that if any
indemnification sought by any Indemnified Person pursuant to Paragraph 9(a) is
held by a court to be unavailable for any reason, other than that specified in
the second sentence of Paragraph 9(a), then (whether or not the Dealer Managers
are Indemnified Persons) the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Managers,
on the other hand, shall contribute to the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses for which such indemnification is held unavailable in such
proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits to the Company,
on one hand, and the Dealer Managers, on the other hand, in connection with the
matter giving rise to such losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses,
and other equitable considerations, subject to the limitation that in any event
any Dealer Manager's aggregate contribution to all losses, claims, damages,
liabilities and expenses with respect to which contribution is available
hereunder shall not exceed the amount of fees actually received by such Dealer
Manager pursuant to this Agreement. It is hereby agreed that the relative
benefits to the Company, on the one hand, and the Dealer Managers, on the other
hand, with respect to the Exchange Offer and the other transactions
contemplated by the Exchange Offer shall be deemed to be in the same proportion
as (i) the aggregate value of the consideration paid or proposed to be paid to
the holders of Shares pursuant to the Exchange Offer (whether or not the
Exchange Offer and such other transaction are consummated) bears to (ii) the
fees payable to the Dealer Managers with respect to the Exchange Offer and such
other transactions pursuant to Paragraph 4.
(d) The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a
result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to in
the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal
20
20
or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection
with investigating, preparing to defend or defending any such action or claim.
The Company also agrees that no Indemnified Person shall have any liability to
the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the
Company in connection with this Agreement or any Dealer Manager acting as a
dealer managers hereunder, except for liabilities determined in a final
judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from any acts or
omissions undertaken or omitted to be taken by them through its gross
negligence or willful misconduct. The foregoing rights to indemnification and
contribution shall be in addition to any other rights which the Dealer Managers
and the other Indemnified Persons may have against the Company under common law
or otherwise.
10. Indemnification, Representations and Warranties to Remain
Operative. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Paragraph 9
and the representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this
Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (a)
any failure to commence, or the withdrawal, rescission, termination or
consummation of, the Exchange Offer or the termination or assignment of this
Agreement, (b) any investigation made by or on behalf of any party entitled to
indemnification pursuant to the terms of Paragraph 9 and (c) any withdrawal by
the Dealer Managers pursuant to Paragraph 8.
11. Distribute Exchange Offer Materials Only. The Company
and each Dealer Manager agree not to distribute publicly any written material
in connection with the Exchange Offer other than the Exchange Offer Materials.
12. Responsibility for Shares Tendered. The Company will
have sole responsibility for acceptance or rejection of the Shares tendered for
exchange pursuant to the Exchange Offer.
13. Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement, (a)
"business day" means any day on which the NYSE is open for trading, and (b)
"subsidiary" have the meanings set forth in Rule 405 of the 1933 Act Rules and
Regulations.
14. Publications. The Company agrees that the Dealer
Managers have the right to place advertisements in financial and other
newspapers and journals at its own expense describing their services to the
Company hereunder, provided that the Dealer Managers will submit a copy of any
such advertisements to the Company for its approval, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld.

respective successors and assigns of such parties. Nothing in this Agreement
