Procedures for Obtaining Advances.
2.2(a) If the Borrower wishes to request an Advance against a

Lender. After the Advance has been approved, a request for funding
such Advance shall be initiated by the Borrower pursuant to Section
2.2(b) hereof.
2.2(b) The Borrower may obtain an Advance hereunder, subject
to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 4.1 and
4.2 hereof, upon compliance with the procedures set forth in this
Section 2.2 and in the following described Exhibits, attached hereto

Loans and Non-Agency Mortgage Loans, as set forth in Exhibit D-MF
hereto.
(2) Bridge Mortgage Loans, as set forth in Exhibit D-MF/BR
hereto.
Requests for Advances shall be initiated by the Borrower by delivering
to the Lender, no later than 1 Business Day prior to any Business Day
that the Borrower desires to borrow hereunder, a completed and signed
request for an Advance (an "Advance Request") on the then current form
approved by the Lender. The current form in use by the Lender is
Exhibit C-MF and Exhibit C-MF/BR attached hereto and made a part
hereof. The Lender shall have the right, on not less than 3 Business
Days' prior Notice to the Borrower, to modify any of said Exhibits to
conform to current legal requirements or Lender practices, and, as so
modified, said Exhibits shall be deemed a part hereof.
2.2(c) Before funding, the Lender shall have a reasonable time
(1 Business Day under ordinary circumstances) to examine such Advance
Request and the Collateral Documents to be delivered prior to such
requested Advance, as set forth in the applicable Exhibit hereto, and
may reject such of them as do not meet the requirements of this
Agreement or of the related Purchase Commitment.
2.2(d) The Borrower shall hold, or cause its custodian to
hold, in trust for the Lender, and the Borrower shall deliver, or
cause its custodian to deliver, to the Lender promptly, or if the

recorded Collateral Documents, and the Pledged Mortgage is not being
held by an Investor for purchase or has not been redeemed from pledge,

copies are required to be delivered to the Lender
22
26
pursuant to Exhibit D-MF or Exhibit D-MF/BR, (2) the original lender's
ALTA Policy of Title Insurance or an equivalent thereto (or, prior to
the delivery thereof, the title insurance commitment to issue such
policy marked to show the final policy exceptions), (3) the
environmental assessment, and (4) any other documents relating to a
Pledged Mortgage which the Lender may request including, without
limitation, certificates of casualty or hazard insurance, appraisal,

desired for inspection or transfer incidental to the purchase of any
Mortgage Note by an Investor and any additional documents which are
customarily executed by the seller of a Mortgage Note to an Investor.
2.2(e) To make an Advance, the Lender shall cause the Funding
Bank to credit the Wire Disbursement Account upon compliance by the
Borrower with the terms of the Loan Documents. The Lender shall
determine in its sole discretion the method by which Advances and
other amounts on deposit in the Wire Disbursement Account are
disbursed by the Funding Bank to or for the account of the Borrower.
2.2(f) If, pursuant to the authorization given by the Borrower
in the Funding Bank Agreement, for the purpose of financing a Mortgage
Loan against which the Lender has made an Advance in accordance with a
Request for Advance the Lender debits the Borrower's Operating Account
at the Funding Bank to the extent necessary to cover a wire to be
initiated by the Lender, and such debit or direction results in an
overdraft, the Lender may make an additional Advance to fund such
overdraft.
2.2(g) If the Borrower wishes to obtain an Earnout Advance to
fund an increase to the amount of an Earnout Mortgage Loan based on
meeting certain performance criteria for the underlying Property, it
shall deliver to the Lender no later than 5 Business Days prior to the
Business Day on which the Borrower desires to borrow such Advance a
request for an Earnout Advance substantially in the form of Exhibit
C-MF/EO
23
27
attached hereto (an "Earnout Advance Request"). Such Earnout Advance
Request shall be accompanied by such evidence of the performance of
the underlying Property as is required pursuant to the related Earnout
Mortgage Loan. Within 3 Business Days after receipt of an Earnout
Advance Request, if such Earnout Mortgage Loan will remain an Eligible
Bridge Mortgage Loan after giving effect to such increase, the Lender
may, in its sole discretion, approve the requested Earnout Advance.
The amount of each Earnout Advance shall be equal to the difference
between (i) the applicable advance rate for the initial Advance
against such Earnout Mortgage Loan, determined as described on Exhibit
M hereto, multiplied by the principal amount of such Earnout Mortgage
Loan, as increased, and (ii) the original principal amount of the
initial Advance against such Earnout Mortgage Loan. After an Earnout
Advance has been approved, it shall be disbursed to fund the increase
to the amount of the related Bridge Mortgage Loans as directed by the
Borrower.
Note. The Borrowers' Obligations with respect to Advances against Eligible
Loans other than Bridge Mortgage Loans shall be evidenced by a Warehousing
Promissory Note of the Borrower in the form of Exhibit A-1 attached hereto.
The Borrowers' Obligations with respect to Advances against Bridge Mortgage
Loans shall be evidenced by a Bridge Loan Promissory Note of the Borrower
substantially in the form of Exhibit A-2 attached hereto. Each note shall

Bridge Loan Promissory Note are collectively referred to as the "Notes".

"Note" or "Notes" shall include all extensions, renewals and modifications
of the Notes and all substitutions therefor. All terms and provisions of

2.4(b) The Borrower is entitled to receive a benefit in the
form of an "Earnings Credit" on the portion of the Eligible Balances
maintained in time deposit accounts with a Designated Bank, and the
Borrower is entitled to receive a benefit in the form of an "Earnings

demand deposit accounts with a Designated Bank. Any Earnings Allowance
shall be used first and any Earnings Credit shall be used second as a
credit against accrued Designated Bank Charges, any other
Miscellaneous Charges and fees, including, but not limited to
Commitment Fees, Underwriting Fees and Exit Fee, and may be used, at
the Lender's option, to reduce accrued interest. Any Earnings
Allowance not used during the month in which the benefit was received
shall be accumulated for use and must be used within 6 months of the
month in which the benefit was received. Any Earnings Credit not used
during the month in which the benefit was received shall be used to
provide a cash benefit to the Borrower. The Lender's determination of
the Earnings Credit and the Earnings Allowance for any month shall be
determined by the Lender in its sole discretion and shall be
conclusive and binding absent manifest error. In no event shall the
benefit received by the Borrower exceed the Depository Benefit.
Either party hereto may terminate the benefits provided for in
this Section effective immediately upon Notice to the other party, if
the terminating party shall have determined (which determination shall
be conclusive and binding absent manifest error) at any time that any
applicable law, rule, regulation, order or decree or any
interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority
charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or
compliance
25
29
by such party with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) of any such authority, shall make it unlawful or
impossible for such party to continue to offer or receive the benefits
provided for in this Section.
2.4(c) Interest shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day
year, applied to the actual number of days elapsed in each interest
calculation period and shall be payable monthly in arrears, on the
first day of each month, commencing with the first month following the
Closing Date and on the Maturity Date.
2.4(d) If, for any reason, no interest is due on an Advance,
the Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender an administrative fee equal
to one day of interest on such Advances at a rate of 1-1/2% per annum.
Administrative and other fees shall be due and payable in the same
manner as interest is due and payable hereunder.
2.4(e) Upon Notice to the Borrower, after the occurrence and
during the continuation of an Event of Default, the unpaid amount of
each Advance shall bear interest until paid in full at a per annum
rate of interest (the "Default Rate") equal to 4% in excess of the
Floating Rate otherwise applicable to the Advance or, if no rate is
applicable, the highest rate then applicable to any outstanding
Advances.
2.4(f) The rates of interest provided for in this Agreement
will be adjusted as of the effective date of each change in the

on the Maturity Date. The outstanding principal amount of all Advances
against Bridge Mortgage Loans shall be payable in full on the Bridge

30
2.5(b) The Borrower shall have the right to prepay the
outstanding Advances in whole or in part, from time to time, without

outstanding Advance against a specific Pledged Mortgage upon the
earliest occurrence of any of the following events:
(1) For any Pledged Mortgage, the Warehouse Period elapses.
(2) For any Pledged Mortgage, the Shipped Period elapses.
(3) On the date an Advance was made and the Pledged
Mortgage which was to have been funded by such Advance is not
closed and funded.
(4) One (1) Business Day elapses from the date an Advance
was made against any Mortgage Loan, without receipt of those
Collateral Documents relating to such Mortgage Loan required to
be delivered on such date under Exhibit D-MF or D-MF/BR hereto,
or such Collateral Documents, upon examination by the Lender, are
found not to be in compliance with the requirements of this
Agreement or the related Purchase Commitment.
(5) Ten (10) Business Days elapse from the date a
Collateral Document was delivered to the Borrower for correction
or completion under a Trust Receipt, if such Collateral Document
has not been returned to the Lender.
(6) On the date on which a Pledged Mortgage is determined
to have been originated based on untrue, incomplete or inaccurate
information, whether or not the Borrower had knowledge of such
misrepresentation or incorrect information or on the date on
which the Borrower knows, or has reason
27
31
to know, or receives notice from the Lender, that one or more of
the representations and warranties set forth in Section 5.15 were

2.5(e) The proceeds of the sale or other disposition of
Pledged Mortgages and Pledged Securities shall be paid directly by the
Investor to the Cash Collateral Account. The Borrower shall give
notice to the Lender (telephonically, to be followed by written
notice) of the Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities for which
proceeds have been received. Upon receipt of such Notice the Advances
against such Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities shall be repaid
from such proceeds and such Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities
shall be considered to have been redeemed from pledge. The Lender is
entitled to rely upon the Borrower's
28
32
affirmation that deposits in the Cash Collateral Account represent
payment from Investors for the purchase of Pledged Mortgages or
Pledged Securities as specified by the Borrower. In the event that the
payment from an Investor for the purchase of Pledged Mortgages or
Pledged Securities is less than the outstanding Advances against such
Pledged Mortgages or the Mortgage Loans backing Pledged Securities,
the Lender is authorized to cause the Funding Bank to charge the
Borrower's Operating Account for an amount equal to such deficiency.
Provided no Default or Event of Default exists, the Lender shall
return any excess payment from an Investor for Pledged Mortgages or
Pledged Securities to the Borrower.

Account for, any amount required after any revaluation to reduce the
principal amount of the Advance outstanding against the Mortgage Loan
to an amount equal to the advance rate for the applicable Eligible
Loan type multiplied by the Fair Market Value of such Eligible Loan.
2.5(g) The Lender reserves the right to revalue a Bridge
Mortgage Loan pledged hereunder at any time and from time to time
based on such factors affecting the value of Bridge Mortgage Loans as
the Lender deems appropriate, including, without limitation, general
economic and market factors, property market factors and factors
specific to a particular Bridge Mortgage Loan. In addition to the
payments required pursuant to Section 2.5(c), the Borrower shall be
obligated to pay to the Lender, upon prior notice from the Lender, and
the Borrower authorizes the Lender to cause the Funding Bank to charge
the Borrower's Operating Account for, any amount required after any
such re-valuation to reduce the principal amount of the Advance
outstanding against
29
33
any Bridge Mortgage Loan to an amount equal to the Advance Rate
multiplied by the Fair Market Value of such Bridge Mortgage Loan, as
so determined.
Expiration of Commitment. The Commitment shall expire on the Maturity Date.
Method of Making Payments.
2.7(a) Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, all

Commitment Fees. The Borrower agrees to pay to the Lender a Commitment Fee in
the amount of .25% per annum of the Commitment Amount which Commitment Fee
shall be paid quarterly in advance and shall be computed on the basis of a
365-day year and applied to the actual number of days elapsed in such
Calendar Quarter. On the Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay the prorated
portion of the quarterly Commitment Fee due from the Closing Date to the
last day of the current Calendar Quarter. Thereafter, the Borrower shall
make quarterly payments of the Commitment Fee on the 1st day of each
Calendar Quarter. If the Maturity Date is other than the last day of a
Calendar Quarter, the Borrower shall pay the prorated portion of the
quarterly Commitment Fee due from the beginning of the then current
Calendar Quarter to and including the Maturity Date. The Borrower shall not
be entitled to a reduction in the amount of the Commitment Fee, in the
event the Commitment Amount is reduced or in the event that the Commitment
is terminated at the request of the
30
34
Borrower or as a result of an Event of Default. If the Commitment
terminates at the request of the Borrower or as a result of an Event of
Default, the unpaid balance of the Commitment Fee shall be due and payable
in full on the date of such termination.

refinanced by a permanent Mortgage Loan originated by Bloomfield
Acceptance, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to the
greater of (i) 0.5% of the maximum principal amount of such Bridge Mortgage
Loan or (ii) 50% of any Exit Fee payable by the Mortgage Borrower to the
Borrower. Fees under this Section 2.10 shall be due when incurred, but
shall not be delinquent if paid within 15 days after receipt of an invoice
or an account analysis statement from the Lender.
Miscellaneous Charges. The Borrower agree to reimburse the Lender for
miscellaneous charges and expenses (collectively, "Miscellaneous Charges")
incurred by or on behalf of the Lender in connection with the handling and
administration of Advances, and to reimburse the Lender for Miscellaneous
Charges incurred by or on behalf of the Lender in connection with the
handling and administration of the Collateral. For the purposes hereof,
Miscellaneous Charges shall include, but not be limited to, costs for UCC,
tax lien and judgment searches conducted by the Lender, filing fees,
charges for wire transfers, check processing charges, charges for security
delivery fees, charges for overnight delivery of Collateral to Investors,
the Funding Bank's service fees and overdraft charges and Designated Bank
Charges. Miscellaneous Charges are due when incurred, but shall not be
delinquent if paid within 15 days after receipt of an invoice or an account
analysis statement from the Lender.
Interest Limitation. All agreements between the Borrower and the Lender are
hereby expressly limited so that in no contingency or event whatsoever,
whether by reason of acceleration of maturity of this Agreement or the Note
or otherwise, shall
31
35
the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use,
forbearance, loaning or retention of the Advances secured by this Agreement
exceed the maximum permissible under applicable law. If from any
circumstances whatsoever, fulfillment of any provisions hereof or of the
Note, or any other document securing this Agreement at any time given shall
involve transcending the limit of validity prescribed by law, then, the
obligation to be fulfilled shall automatically be reduced to the limit of
such validity, and if from any circumstances the Lender should ever receive
as interest an amount which would exceed the highest lawful rate of
interest, such amount which would be in excess of interest shall be applied
to the reduction of the principal balance secured by the Note and not to
the payment of interest thereunder. This provision shall control every
other provision of all agreements between the Borrower and Lender and shall
also be binding upon and available to any subsequent holder of the Note.
Increased Costs; Capital Requirements. In the event any applicable law, order,
regulation or directive issued by any governmental or monetary authority,
or any change therein or in the governmental or judicial interpretation or
application thereof, or compliance by the Lender with any request or
directive (whether or not having the force of law) by any governmental or
monetary authority:
2.13(a) Does or shall subject the Lender to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or any Advances made
hereunder, or change the basis of taxation on payments to the Lender
of principal, fees, interest or any other amount payable hereunder
(except for change in the rate of tax on the overall gross or net
income of the Lender by the jurisdictions in which the Lender's
principal office is located);
2.13(b) Does or shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, capital requirement, special deposit, compulsory loan or
similar requirement against assets held by, or deposits or other
liabilities in or for the account of, advances or loans by, or other
credit extended by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office
of the Lender which are not otherwise
32
36
included in the determination of the interest rate as calculated
hereunder;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the
Lender of making, renewing or maintaining any Advance or to reduce any
amount receivable in respect thereof or to reduce the rate of return on the
capital of the Lender or any Person controlling the Lender as it relates to
credit facilities in the nature of that evidenced by this Agreement, then,
in any such case, the Borrower shall promptly pay any additional amounts
necessary to compensate the Lender for such additional cost or reduced
amounts receivable or reduced rate of return as determined by the Lender
with respect to this Agreement or Advances made hereunder. If the Lender
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section,
it shall notify the Borrower of the event by reason of which it has become
so entitled and the Borrower shall pay such amount within 15 days
thereafter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Borrowers shall not be
obligated to pay any such additional amounts attributable to the period
(the "Excluded Period") ending 90 days prior to the date the Borrowers
receive written notice of the law, order, regulation, directive, change or
requests by reason of which such additional amounts are payable, except to
the extent such additional amounts accrued during the Excluded Period due
to the retroactive application of such law, order, regulation, directive,
change or request, in which case the limitation set forth in this sentence
shall not apply. A certificate as to any additional amount payable pursuant
to the foregoing sentence containing the calculation thereof in reasonable
detail submitted by the Lender, to the Borrower shall be conclusive in the
absence of manifest error. The obligations of the Borrower under this
Section shall survive the payment of all other Obligations and the
termination of this Agreement.
Sale of Permanent Mortgage Loans. In the event the Borrower makes a permanent
Mortgage Loan to refinance a Bridge Mortgage Loan pledged hereunder, in
whole or in part (a "Refinancing Loan"), the Borrower shall not sell or
otherwise dispose of such Refinancing Loan unless the Borrower provides the
Lender with the right to make an offer to purchase such Refinancing Loan on
the same basis as the Borrower solicits such offers from other potential
purchasers of such Refinancing Loan.
33
37
Nothing in this Agreement generally, and nothing in this Section 2.14
specifically, shall be deemed to prevent the sale of a Refinancing Loan to
a person other than the Lender.
COLLATERAL.
Grant of Security Interest. As security for the payment of the Note and for
the performance of all of the Borrower's Obligations, the Borrower hereby
assigns and transfers to the Lender all right, title and interest in and to
and grants a security interest to the Lender in the following described
property (the "Collateral"):
3.1(a) All Mortgage Loans, including all Mortgage Notes and

of assignment or pledge or in respect of which an Advance has been
made by the Lender hereunder and, in the event the Release Amount has
not been paid with respect to any Bridge Mortgage Loan, any Mortgage
Loan, the proceeds of which are used in whole or in part, to refinance
such Bridge Mortgage Loan (the "Pledged Mortgages").
3.1(b) All Mortgage-backed Securities which are from time to
time created in whole or in part on the basis of the Pledged Mortgages
or are delivered or caused to be delivered to, or are otherwise in the
possession of the Lender, or its agent, bailee or custodian as
assignee, or pledged to the Lender, or for such purpose are registered
by book-entry in the name of, the Lender (including delivery to or

Lender's security interest on any portion of the Collateral shall

Remedies.
8.2(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default described
in Sections 8.1(f) or 8.1(g), the Commitment shall be terminated and
the unpaid principal amount of and accrued interest on the Note and
all other Obligations shall automatically become due and payable,
without presentment, demand or other requirements of any kind, all of
which are hereby expressly waived by the Borrower.
8.2(b) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, other than
those described in Sections 8.1(f) and 8.1(g), the Lender may, by
Notice to the Borrower, terminate the Commitment and/or declare all
Obligations to be immediately due and payable, whereupon the same
shall forthwith become due and payable, together with all accrued
interest thereon, and the obligation of the Lender to make any
Advances shall thereupon terminate.
8.2(c) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Lender
may also do any of the following:
(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 hereunder.
(2) Notify all obligors in respect of Collateral that the
Collateral has been assigned to
68
72
the Lender and that all payments thereon are to be made directly
to the Lender or such other party as may be designated by the
Lender; settle, compromise, or release, in whole or in part, any
amounts owing on the Collateral, any such obligor or any Investor
or any portion of the Collateral, on terms acceptable to the
Lender; 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 without judicial process and sell property acquired as a
result of any such foreclosure.
(3) Act, or contract with a third party to act, as servicer
or subservicer of each item of Collateral requiring servicing and
perform all obligations required in connection with Servicing
Contracts and Purchase Commitments, such third party's fees to be
paid by the Borrower.
(4) Require the Borrower to assemble the Collateral and/or
books and records relating thereto and make such available to the
Lender at a place to be designated by the Lender.
(5) Enter onto property where any Collateral or books and
records relating thereto are located and take possession thereof
with or without judicial process; and obtain access to the
Borrower's data processing equipment, computer hardware and
software relating to the Collateral and to use all of the
foregoing and the information contained therein in any manner the
Lender deems necessary for the purpose of effectuating its rights
under this Agreement and any other Loan Document.
(6) Prior to the disposition of the Collateral, prepare it
for disposition in any manner and to the extent the Lender deems
appropriate.
69
73
(7) Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor
under the Uniform Commercial Code of Minnesota or other
applicable law, including, but not limited to, selling or
otherwise disposing of the Collateral, or any part thereof, at
one or more public or private sales, whether or not such
Collateral is present at the place of sale, for cash or credit or
future delivery, on such terms and in such manner as the Lender
may determine, including, without limitation, sale pursuant to
any applicable Purchase Commitment. If notice is required under
such applicable law, the Lender will give the Borrower not less
than 10 days' notice of any such public sale or of the date after
which any private sale may be held. The Borrower agrees that 10
days' notice shall be reasonable notice. The Lender 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 the Lender until the selling price is paid by the
purchaser thereof, but the Lender 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 Lender 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 the Collateral or to foreclose the
pledge of and sell the Collateral or any portion thereof under a
judgment or decree of a court or courts of competent
jurisdiction, or both.
(8) Proceed against the Borrower on the Note.
8.2(d) The Lender shall incur no liability as a result of
the sale or other disposition of the Collateral, or any part
thereof, at any public or
70
74
private sale or disposition. The Borrower hereby waives (to the
extent permitted by law) any claims it may have against the
Lender arising by reason of the fact that the price at which the
Collateral may have been sold at such private sale was less than
the price which might have been obtained at a public sale or was
less than the aggregate amount of the outstanding Advances and
the unpaid interest accrued thereon, even if the Lender accepts
the first offer received and does not offer the Collateral to
more than one offeree. Any sale of Collateral pursuant to the
terms of a Purchase Commitment, or any other disposition of
Collateral arranged by the Borrower, whether before or after the
occurrence of an Event of Default, shall be deemed to have been
made in a commercially reasonable manner.
8.2(e) The Borrower acknowledges that Mortgage Loans and
Mortgage-backed Securities are collateral of a type which is
customarily sold on a recognized market. The Borrower waives any
right it may have to prior notice of the sale of any Pledged
Mortgage or Pledged Security, and agrees that the Lender may
purchase any Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities at a private
sale of such Collateral.
8.2(f) The Borrower specifically waives and releases (to
the extent permitted by law) any equity or right of redemption,
all rights of redemption, stay or appraisal which the Borrower
has or may have under any rule of law or statute now existing or
hereafter adopted, and any right to require the Lender to (1)
proceed against any Person, (2) proceed against or exhaust any of
the Collateral or pursue its rights and remedies as against the
Collateral in any particular order, or (3) pursue any other
remedy in its power. The Lender shall not be required to take any
steps necessary to preserve any rights of the Borrower against
holders of mortgages prior in lien to the Lien of any Mortgage
included in the Collateral or to preserve rights against prior
parties.
8.2(g) The Lender 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
71
75
of, or the security intended to be afforded by, any Mortgage
included in the Collateral, 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
the Lender in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred by
this Agreement, or in the enforcement hereof, together with
interest thereon, at the Default Rate, from the time of payment
until repaid, shall become a part of the principal balance
outstanding hereunder and under the Note.
8.2(h) No failure on the part of the Lender 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 the Lender 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. Without intending to limit the
foregoing, all defenses based on the statute of limitations are
hereby waived by the Borrower to the extent permitted by law. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and are not exclusive of
any remedies provided at law or in equity.
8.2(i) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
Lender is hereby granted a license or other right to use, without
charge, the 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 Collateral
and the Borrower's rights under all licenses and all other
agreements related to the foregoing shall inure to the Lender's
benefit until the Obligations are paid in full.
Application of Proceeds. The proceeds of any sale, disposition or other
enforcement of the Lender's security interest in all or any part of the
Collateral shall be applied by the Lender to the Obligations in such order
as the Lender, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall determine:
72
76
First, to the payment of the costs and expenses of such sale or
enforcement, including reasonable compensation to the Lender's agents and
counsel, and all expenses, liabilities and advances made or incurred by or
on behalf of the Lender in connection therewith;
Second, to the payment of the Obligations in such order as the Lender,
in its sole discretion, determines; and
Finally, from and after the indefensible payment to the Lender of all
of the Obligations, any remaining proceeds shall be paid to the Borrower,
or to its successors or assigns, or as a court of competent jurisdiction
may direct, of any surplus then remaining from such proceeds.
If the proceeds of any sale, disposition or other enforcement are
insufficient to cover the costs and expenses of the sale, and the payment
in full of all Obligations, the Borrower will remain liable for any
deficiency.
Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. The Lender is hereby appointed the
attorney-in-fact of the Borrower, with full power of substitution, for the
purpose of carrying out the provisions hereof and taking any action and
executing any instruments which the Lender 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, the Lender shall have the right and power to give notices
of its security interest in the Collateral to any Person, either in the
name of the Borrower or in its own name, to endorse all Pledged Mortgages
or Pledged Securities payable to the order of the Borrower, to change or
cause to be changed the book-entry registration or name of subscriber or
Investor on any Pledged Security, or to receive, endorse and collect all
checks made payable to the order of the Borrower representing any payment
on account of the principal of or interest on, or the proceeds of sale of,
any of the Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities and to give full
discharge for the same.
Right of Set-Off. If the Borrower shall default in the payment of the Note,
any interest accrued thereon, or any other sums
73
77
which may become payable hereunder when due, or in the performance of any
of its other obligations or liabilities under this Agreement, the Lender,
shall have the right, at any time and from time to time, without notice, to
set-off and to appropriate or apply any and all property or indebtedness of
any kind at any time held or owing by the Lender to or for the credit or
the account of the Borrower against and on account of the Obligations of
the Borrower under the Note and this Agreement, irrespective of whether or
not the Lender shall have made any demand hereunder and whether or not said
Obligations shall have matured.
NOTICES.
All notices, demands, consents, requests and other communications required
or permitted to be given or made hereunder (collectively, "Notices") shall,
except as otherwise expressly provided hereunder, be in writing and shall be
delivered in person or telecopied or mailed, first class or delivered by
overnight courier, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the
respective parties hereto at their respective addresses hereinafter set forth
or, as to any such party, at such other address as may be designated by it in a

The Borrower shall: (a) pay a documentation production fee of $7,500 in
connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement; (b) pay such
additional documentation production fees as the Lender may require and all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses of the Lender, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees, service charges and disbursements of counsel (including
allocated costs of internal counsel), in connection with the amendment,
enforcement and administration of this Agreement, the Note, and other Loan
Documents and the making and repayment of the Advances and the payment of
interest thereon; (c) indemnify, pay, and hold harmless the Lender and any
holder of the Note from and against, any and all present and future stamp,
documentary and other similar taxes with respect to the foregoing matters and
save the Lender and the holder or holders of the Note harmless from and against
any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission
to pay such taxes; and (d) indemnify, pay and hold harmless the Lender and any
of its officers, directors, employees or agents and any subsequent holder of the
Note (collectively called the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all
liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including without
limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel of the Indemnitees
(including allocated costs of internal counsel) in connection with any
investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding, whether or not such
Indemnitees shall be designated a party thereto) which may be imposed upon,
incurred by or asserted against such Indemnitees in any manner relating to or
arising out of this Agreement, the Note, or any other Loan Document or any of
the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (the "Indemnified Liabilities");
provided, however, that the Borrower shall have no obligation hereunder 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, the Borrower
shall contribute the maximum portion which 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 the
Borrower contained in this Subsection (d) shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement and the payment in full of the Note. Attorneys'
fees and disbursements incurred in enforcing, or on appeal from, a judgment
pursuant
75
79
hereto shall be 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. FINANCIAL INFORMATION.
All financial statements and reports furnished to the Lender hereunder
shall 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 the
last fiscal year ended (except to the extent otherwise required to conform to
good accounting practice).
MISCELLANEOUS.
Terms Binding Upon Successors; Survival of Representations. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit
of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. All
representations, warranties, covenants and agreements herein contained on
the part of the Borrower shall survive the making of any Advance and the
execution of the Note, and shall be effective so long as the Commitment is
outstanding hereunder or there remain any Obligations to be paid or
performed.
Assignment. This Agreement cannot be assigned by the Borrower. This Agreement
and the Note along with the Lender's security interest in any or all of the
Collateral, may, at any time, be transferred or assigned, in whole or in
part, by the Lender, and any assignee thereof may enforce this Agreement,
the Note and its security interest in the Collateral so assigned.
Amendments. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, this Agreement
may not be amended, modified or supplemented unless such amendment,
modification or supplement is set forth in a writing signed by the parties
hereto.
Governing Law. This Agreement and the other Loan Documents shall be
governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without reference to its
principles of conflicts of laws.
76
80
Participations. The Lender may at any time sell, assign or grant
participations in, or otherwise transfer to any other Person (a
"Participant"), all or part of the Obligations. Without limitation of the
exclusive right of the Lender to collect and enforce such Obligations, the
Borrower agrees that each disposition will give rise to a debtor-creditor
relationship of the Borrower to the Participant, and the 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 the Borrower which may be in the hands of such Participant.
The Borrower authorizes the Lender to disclose to any prospective
Participant and any Participant any and all information in the Lender's
possession concerning the Borrower, this Agreement and the Collateral.
Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement provides for the making of
Advances by the Lender, in its capacity as a lender, to the Borrower, in
its capacity as a borrower, and for the payment of interest, repayment of
principal by the Borrower to the Lender, and for the payment of certain
fees by the Borrower to the Lender. The relationship between the Lender and
the Borrower is limited to that of creditor/secured party, on the one hand,
and debtor, on the other hand. The provisions herein for compliance with
financial covenants and delivery of financial statements are intended
solely for the benefit of the Lender to protect its interests as lender in
assuring payments of interest and repayment of principal and payment of
certain fees, and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as
permitting or obligating the Lender to act as a financial or business
advisor or consultant to the Borrower, as permitting or obligating the
Lender to control the Borrower or to conduct the Borrower's operations, as
creating any fiduciary obligation on the part of the Lender to the
Borrower, or as creating any joint venture, agency, or other relationship
between the parties hereto other than as explicitly and specifically stated
in this Agreement. The Borrower acknowledges that it has had the
opportunity to obtain the advice of experienced counsel of its own choosing
in connection with the negotiation and execution of this Agreement and to
obtain the advice of such counsel with respect to all matters contained
herein. The Borrower further acknowledges that it is experienced with
respect to financial and credit matters and has made its own independent
77
81
decisions to apply to the Lender for credit and to execute and deliver this
Agreement.
Severability. If any provision of this Agreement shall be declared to be
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such illegal or unenforceable
provision shall be and become absolutely null and void and of no force and
effect as though such provision were not in fact set forth herein, but all
other covenants, terms, conditions and provisions hereof shall nevertheless
continue to be valid and enforceable.
Operational Reviews. From time to time upon request, the Borrower shall
permit the Lender or its representative access to its premises and records
for the purpose of conducting a review of the Borrower's general mortgage
business methods, policies, and procedures, auditing loan files and
reviewing financial and operational aspects of the Borrower's business.
Consent to Credit References. The Borrower hereby consents to the disclosure
of information regarding the Borrower and its relationships with the Lender
to Persons making credit inquiries to the Lender. This consent is revocable
by the Borrower at any time upon Notice to the Lender as provided in
Section 9 hereof.
Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrower hereby agrees that any action or
proceeding under the Loan Documents, the Note or any document delivered
pursuant hereto may be commenced against it in any court of competent
jurisdiction within the State of Minnesota, by service of process upon the
Borrower by first class registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested, addressed to the Borrower at its address last known to the
Lender. The Borrower agrees that any such suit, action or proceeding
arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any other such document may
be instituted in the Hennepin County, State District Court or in the United
States District Court for the District of Minnesota at the option of the
Lender; and the Borrower hereby waives any objection to the jurisdiction or
venue of any such court with respect to, or the convenience of any court as
a forum for, any such suit, action or proceeding. Nothing herein shall
affect the right of the Lender to accomplish service of process in any
other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise
proceed against the Borrower in any other jurisdiction or court.
78
82
Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute but one and the same instrument.
Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Note and the other Loan Documents
represent the final agreement among the parties hereto and thereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and may not be
contradicted by evidence of prior or contemporaneous oral agreements among
such parties. There are no oral agreements among the parties with respect
to the subject matter hereof and thereof.
WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER EACH HEREBY (A) COVENANTS
AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A
JURY, AND (B) FULLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY TO THE EXTENT THAT
ANY SUCH RIGHT NOW EXISTS OR HEREAFTER ARISES. THE LENDER AND THE BORROWER
EACH GIVES THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.
THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN, KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY, BY THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER, AND THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO
ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE FOR WHICH THE RIGHT OF
A JURY TRIAL WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. THE LENDER AND THE BORROWER ARE EACH
HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND REQUESTED TO SUBMIT THIS AGREEMENT TO ANY COURT
HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER AND THE PARTIES HERETO, SO AS
TO SERVE AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THIS WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.
FURTHER, THE BORROWER AND THE LENDER EACH HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT NO
REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE OTHER PARTY, INCLUDING THE OTHER PARTY'S
COUNSEL, HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO ANY OF ITS
REPRESENTATIVES OR AGENTS THAT THE OTHER PARTY WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE
THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL PROVISION.

WAREHOUSING PROMISSORY NOTE
$25,000,000 Date: March 15, 2000
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, BLOOMFIELD ACCEPTANCE COMPANY, L.L.C.,
a Michigan limited liability company ("Bloomfield Acceptance") and BLOOMFIELD
SERVICING COMPANY, L.L.C., a Michigan corporation ("Bloomfield Servicing")

sometimes referred to as "Co-Borrowers"), hereby promise to pay to the order
of RESIDENTIAL FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the "Lender" or,
together with its successors and assigns, the "Holder") whose principal place of
business is ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇,

principal sum of $25,000,000 or so much thereof as may be outstanding from time
to time pursuant to the Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement described
below, and to pay interest on said principal sum or such part thereof as shall
remain unpaid from time to time, from the date of each Advance until repaid in
full, and all other fees and charges due under the Agreement, at the rates and
at the times set forth in the Agreement. All payments hereunder shall be made in
lawful money of the United States and in immediately available funds.
This Note is given to evidence an actual warehouse line of credit in the
above amount and is the Warehousing Promissory Note referred to in that certain
Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement ("the Agreement") dated the date
hereof between the Co-Borrowers and the Lender, as the same may be amended or
supplemented from time to time, and is entitled to the benefits thereof.
Reference is hereby made to the Agreement (which is incorporated herein by
reference as fully and with the same effect as if set forth herein at length)
for a description of the Collateral, a statement of the covenants and
agreements, a statement of the rights and remedies and securities afforded
thereby and other matters contained therein. Capitalized terms used herein,
unless otherwise defined herein, shall have the meanings given them in the
Agreement.

penalty.
Should this Note be placed in the hands of attorneys for collection, the
Co-Borrowers agree to pay, in addition to principal and interest, fees and
charges due under the Agreement, any and all costs of collecting this Note,
including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
The Co-Borrowers hereby waive demand, notice, protest and presentment.

The promises and agreements herein shall be construed to be and are hereby
declared to be the joint and several promises and agreements of each Co-Borrower
and shall constitute the joint and several obligation of each Co-Borrower and
shall be fully binding upon and enforceable against each Co-Borrower. The
release of any party to this Note shall not affect or release the joint and
several liability of any other party. The Lender may at its option enforce this
Note against one or all of the Co-Borrower, and the Lender shall not be required
to resort to enforcement against each Co-Borrower and the failure to proceed
against or join each Co-Borrower shall not affect the joint and several
liability of each Co-Borrower.

GUARANTY
THIS GUARANTY, made and entered into as of this 15th day of March, 2000, by
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ FINANCIAL SERVICES CORPORATION, a Michigan corporation (the
"Guarantor"), to RESIDENTIAL FUNDING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation (the
"Lender"), having its principal office at ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇., ▇▇▇▇▇

RECITALS
▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ SERVICING COMPANY, L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability
company ("Bloomfield Servicing") and BLOOMFIELD ACCEPTANCE COMPANY,
L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company ("Bloomfield Acceptance")
(Bloomfield Servicing and Bloomfield Acceptance are referred to
herein, collectively or individually, as the context may require, as
the "Borrower") and the Lender have agreed that the Lender will extend
a warehouse line of credit to the Borrower in the aggregate principal
amount of $50,000,000 (the "Loan") to finance the making and
purchasing of Mortgage Loans.
B. The Loan is evidenced by a Warehousing Promissory Note and Bridge Loan
Promissory Note, each dated of even date herewith from the Borrower to
the Lender, as the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise
modified from time to time, including any other instruments executed
and delivered in renewal, extension, rearrangement or otherwise in
replacement of such Promissory Notes (the "Notes") and by a
Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement of even date herewith, as
the same may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time
to time, including any other instruments executed and delivered in
renewal, extension, rearrangement or otherwise in replacement of such
agreement (the "Agreement").
C. The Guarantor is the direct or indirect owner of all of the issued and
outstanding capital stock of the Borrower and will derive benefit from
the Loan.
D. As a condition to making the Loan, the Lender has required that the
Guarantor execute and deliver this Guaranty. In order to induce the
Lender to make Advances under the Agreement, to accept the Notes and
the Agreement, the Guarantor has agreed to give this Guaranty.
E. The Lender has refused to make Advances under the Agreement unless
this Guaranty is executed by the Guarantor and delivered to Lender.

AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the recitals and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the Guarantor hereby covenants and agrees with the Lender as
follows:
1. Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein
shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.
2. The Guarantor hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely
guarantees to the Lender the due and prompt payment, and not just the
collectibility, of the principal of, and interest, fees and late charges and all
other indebtedness, if any, on the Notes when due, whether at maturity, by
acceleration or otherwise all at the times and places and at the rates described
in, and otherwise according to the terms of the Notes and the Agreement, whether
now existing or hereafter created or arising.
3. The Guarantor further hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and
absolutely guarantees to the Lender the due and prompt performance by the
Borrower of all duties, agreements and obligations of the Borrower contained in
the Notes and the Agreement, and the due and prompt payment of all costs and
expenses incurred, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs
and all other litigation expenses (including but not limited to expert witness
fees, exhibit preparation, and courier, postage, communication and document
copying expenses), in enforcing the payment and performance of the Notes and the
Agreement and this Guaranty (the payment and performance of the items set forth
in Paragraphs 2 and 3 of this Guaranty are collectively referred to as the
"Guaranteed Debt").
4. In the event the Borrower shall at any time fail to pay the Lender any
principal of or interest on or other sums constituting any Guaranteed Debt when
due, whether by acceleration or otherwise, the Guarantor promises to pay such
amount to the Lender forthwith, together with all collection costs and expenses,
including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, court costs and all other
litigation expenses (including but not limited to expert witness fees, exhibit
preparation, and courier, postage, communication and document copying expenses).
Any sum required to be paid by the Guarantor to the Lender pursuant to this
Guaranty shall bear interest from the date such sum becomes due until paid at a
per annum rate equal to the Default Rate.
5. The Guarantor hereby authorizes the Lender, following the occurrence
of an Event of Default, without notice or demand, to apply any property,
balances, credits, accounts or moneys of the Guarantor then in the possession of
Lender, or standing to the credit of the Guarantor, to the payment of such
Guaranteed Debt.
6. The Guarantor does hereby (a) agree to any modifications of any terms
or conditions of any Guaranteed Debt and/or to any extensions or renewals of
time of payment or performance by the
2
94
Borrower; (b) that it shall not be necessary for the Lender to resort to legal
remedies against the Borrower before proceeding hereunder, nor to take any
action against any other Person obligated (an "Obligor") for payment or
performance of the Guaranteed Debt or against any collateral for the Guaranteed
Debt before proceeding against the Guarantor; (c) agree that no release of the
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 by the Lender, with or without notice to the
Guarantor, shall release the Guarantor; (d) waive presentment, demand, notice
of demand, dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest, and notice of protest and any
other notice with respect to any Guaranteed Debt and this Guaranty, and
promptness in commencing suit against any party thereto or liable thereon and/or
in giving any notice to or making any claim or demand hereunder upon the
Guarantor; (e) waive any defense arising by reason of any disability or other
defense of the Borrower for payment of the Guaranteed Debt or any part thereof
or by reason of the cessation from any cause whatsoever of the liability of the
Borrower therefor other than full payment of the Guaranteed Debt; or (f) waive,
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.
7. The obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall be primary, absolute
and unconditional, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to,
and shall not be impaired or affected by: (a) the genuineness, validity,
regularity or enforceability of, or any amendment or change in the Agreement or
the Notes, or any change in or extension of the manner, place or terms of
payment of, all or any portion of the Guaranteed Debt; (b) the taking or failure
to take any action to enforce the Agreement or the Notes, or the exercise or
failure to exercise any remedy, power or privilege contained therein or
available at law or otherwise, or the waiver by the Lender of any provisions of
the Agreement or the Notes; (c) any impairment, modification, change, release or
limitation in any manner of the liability of the Borrower or its estate in
bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the enforcement of the 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 the Borrower; (d) the merger or
consolidation of the Borrower, or any sale or transfer by the Borrower of all or
part of its assets or property; (e) any claim the 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), the Borrower or any other
Obligor; (g) any settlement or compromise with any Obligor with respect to any
Guaranteed Debt and/or the subordination of the payment of the Guaranteed Debt
or any part thereof to the payment of any other debts or claims which may at any
time be due and owing to the Lender and/or any other Person; or (h) any other
action or circumstance which (with or without notice to or knowledge of the
Guarantor) may or might in any manner or to any extent vary the risks of the
Guarantor hereunder or otherwise constitute a legal or
3
95
equitable discharge or defense, it being understood and agreed by the Guarantor
that the obligations under this Guaranty shall not be discharged except by the
full payment and performance of the Guaranteed Debt.
8. The Lender shall have the right to determine how, when and what
application of payments and credits, if any, whether derived from the Borrower
or from any other source, shall be made on the Guaranteed Debt and any other
indebtedness owed by the Borrower and/or any other Obligor to the Lender. The
Lender shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of the
Guarantor or in payment of all or any part of the Guaranteed Debt.
9. The Guarantor hereby agrees, for the benefit of the Lender, not to
assert any claim or other rights that the Guarantor may now have or hereafter
acquire against the Company that arises from the existence, payment, performance
or enforcement of the Guarantor's obligations hereunder, including any right of
subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnification and any
right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Lender against the Company or
any collateral that the Lender now has or hereafter acquires, whether or not
such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under contract, statute or
common law, including the right to take or receive from the Company directly or
indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or
security on account of such claim or other right, until the Guaranteed Debt has
been paid and performed in full. If any amount shall be paid to the Guarantor in
respect of any such claim or other right before the Guaranteed Debt has been
paid and performed in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid to the
Guarantor for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lender and shall
forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed
Debt, whether matured or unmatured. In addition, to the extent permitted by law,
the Guarantor irrevocably releases and waives any such subrogation rights or
rights of reimbursement, exoneration, contribution or indemnity if and to the
extent any such right or rights would give rise to a claim under the U.S.
Bankruptcy Code that payments or transfers to the Lender with respect to the
Guaranteed Debt constitute a preference in favor of the Guarantor or a claim
under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that the preference is recoverable from the
Lender.
10. The Guarantor waives any and all rights, benefits and defenses
available to sureties and creditors which might otherwise be available to the
Guarantor under Sections 2787 to 2855 inclusive, 2899 and 3433 of the California
Civil Code, as amended or recodified from time to time, and the benefit of any
statute Of limitations affecting the liability of the Guarantor hereunder or the
enforcement hereof, including, without limitation any rights arising under
Section 359.5 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. Additionally, the
Guarantor waives the right to require the Lender to comply with the provisions
of Section 9504 of the California Commercial Code, as amended or recodified from
time to time. The Guarantor also waives all rights and defenses that the
Guarantor may have because any Guaranteed Debt is secured by real
4
96
property. This means, among other things: (1) the Lender may collect from the
Guarantor without first foreclosing on any real or personal property collateral
pledged by the Company or any other Obligor; (2) if the Lender forecloses on any
real property collateral pledged by the Company or any other Obligor: (a) the
amount of the Guaranteed Debt may be reduced only by the price for which that
collateral is sold at the foreclosure sale, even if the collateral is worth more
than the sale price; and (b) the Lender may collect from the Guarantor even if
the Lender, by foreclosing on the real property collateral, has destroyed any
right the Guarantor may have to collect from the Company. This is an
unconditional and irrevocable waiver of any rights and defenses the Guarantor
may have because the Guaranteed Debt is secured by real property. These rights
and defenses include, but are not limited to, any rights or defenses based upon
Section 580a, 580b, 580d, or 726 of the California Code of Civil Procedure.
11. No postponement or delay on the part of the Lender in the enforcement
of any right hereunder shall constitute a waiver of such right and all rights of
the Lender hereunder shall be cumulative and not alternative and shall be in
addition to any other rights granted to the Lender in any other agreement or by
law.
12. If any provision hereof shall be or shall be declared to be illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such illegal or unenforceable provision shall be
and become absolutely null and void and of no force and affect as though such
provision were not in fact set forth herein, but all other covenants, terms,
conditions and provisions hereof shall nevertheless continue to be valid and
enforceable and this Guaranty shall be so construed.
13. This Guaranty shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the
State of Minnesota, other than its principles of conflicts of law, and shall be
binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their
respective heirs, executors, administrators, personal representatives,
successors and assigns.
14. The Guarantor hereby agrees that any action or proceeding under this
Guaranty may be commenced against the Guarantor in any court of competent
jurisdiction within the State of Minnesota, by service of process upon the
Guarantor by first class registered or certified mail, return receipt requested,
addressed to the Guarantor at the Guarantor's address last known to the Lender.
The Guarantor agrees that any such suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Guaranty may be instituted in the District Court of Hennepin
County, Minnesota or in the United States District Court for the District of
Minnesota, at the option of the Lender; and the Guarantor hereby waives any
objection to the jurisdiction or venue of any such court with respect to, or the
convenience of any such court as a forum for, any such suit, action or
proceeding. Nothing herein shall affect the right of the Lender to accomplish
service of process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal
proceedings or otherwise proceed against the Guarantor in any other jurisdiction
or court.
5
97
15. The Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to the Lender as follows:
(a) Organization and Qualification. The Guarantor is a corporation duly
organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its
jurisdiction of incorporation. The Guarantor is duly qualified to do
business as a foreign corporation and in good standing in all
jurisdictions in which the ownership of its properties or the nature
of its activities, or both, makes such qualification necessary.
(b) Authority and Authorization. The Guarantor has full corporate power
and authority to execute, deliver and carry out the provisions of this
Guaranty and to perform its obligations hereunder, and all such action
has been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate
proceedings on its part.
(c) Financial Statements. All financial statements and data which have
heretofore been given to the Lender with respect to the Guarantor
fairly present the financial condition of the Guarantor as of the date
hereof, and, since the date thereof, there has been no material
adverse change in the financial condition of the Guarantor. The
Guarantor shall promptly deliver to the Lender, or to the Borrower in
time for the Borrower to deliver the same to the Lender, all
financial statements and tax returns of the Guarantor required by the
Agreement.
(d) Address. The address of the Guarantor as specified below is true and
correct and until the Lender shall have actually received a written
notice specifying a change of address and specifically requesting that
notices be issued to such changed address, the Lender may rely on the
address stated as being accurate.
(e) No Default. The 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.
(f) Solvent. The Guarantor is now solvent, and no bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings are pending or to the best of the Guarantor's knowledge
contemplated by or against the Guarantor.
(g) Relationship to the Borrower. The value of the consideration received
and to be received by the Guarantor is reasonably worth at least as
much as the liability and obligation of the Guarantor incurred or
arising under this Guaranty. The Guarantor has had full and complete
access to the Agreement and the Notes and all other loan documents
relating to the Obligations and
6
98
the Guaranteed Debt, has reviewed them and is fully aware of the
meaning and effect of their contents. The Guarantor is fully informed
of all circumstances which bear upon the risks of executing this
Guaranty and which a diligent inquiry would reveal. The Guarantor has
adequate means to obtain from the Borrower on a continuing basis
information concerning the Borrower's financial condition, and is not
depending on the Lender to provide such information, now or in the
future. The Guarantor agrees that the Lender shall not have any
obligation to advise or notify the Guarantor or to provide the
Guarantor with any data or information. The execution and delivery of
this Guaranty is not given in consideration of (and the Lender has not
in any way implied that the execution of this Guaranty is given in
consideration of) the Lender's making, extending or modifying any loan
to the Guarantor or to any other financial accommodation to or for the
Guarantor.
(h) Litigation. There is not now pending against or affecting the
Guarantor, nor to the knowledge of the Guarantor is there threatened,
any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any
administrative agency that, if adversely determined, would materially
impair or affect the financial condition of the Guarantor.
(i) Taxes. The Guarantor has filed all federal, state, provincial, county,
municipal and other income tax returns required to have been filed by
the Guarantor and has paid all taxes that have become due pursuant to
such returns or pursuant to any assessments received by the Guarantor,
and the Guarantor does not know of any basis for any material
additional assessment against it in respect of such taxes.
16. Neither the death nor the release of any person or party to this
Guaranty or any other guaranties of the Agreement and the Notes shall affect or
release the liability of the Guarantor. The obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall be in addition to any obligations of the Guarantor under any
other guaranties of the Guaranteed Debt and/or any obligations of the Borrower
or any other Persons heretofore given or hereafter to be given to the Lender,
and this Guaranty shall not affect or invalidate any such other guaranties. The
liability of the Guarantor to the Lender shall at all times be deemed to be the
aggregate liability of the Guarantor under the terms of this Guaranty and of any
other guaranties heretofore or hereafter given by the Guarantor to the Lender.
17. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty nor consent
to any departure by the Guarantor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the
specific purpose for which given. No notice to or demand on the Guarantor
7
99
shall in any case entitle it to any other or further notice or demand in similar
or other circumstances.
18. All notices that may be required or otherwise provided for or
contemplated under the terms of this Guaranty for any party to serve upon or
give to any other shall, whether or not so state, be in writing, and if not so
in writing shall not be deemed to have been given, and be either personally
served, sent by reputable overnight courier service, or sent with return receipt
requested by registered or certified mail with postage (including registration
or certification charges) prepaid, sent to the following address:
(a) If to the Guarantor, addressed to the address indicated
immediately following the Guarantor's signature;
(b) If to the Lender, addressed to the Lender at its address at #▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇, Attention: ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, Director.
Such addresses may be changed from time to time by written notice to the other
parties given in the same manner. Any matter so served upon or sent to the
Guarantor or the Lender in the manner aforesaid shall be deemed sufficiently
given for all purposes hereunder (i) upon personal delivery, if personally
delivered, (ii) on the date following delivery to the courier service, if sent
by courier service, (iii) upon electronic confirmation of receipt, if sent by
facsimile, (or, if such electronic confirmation indicates receipt after regular
business hours, the following Business Day) and (iv) on the date of receipt as
noted on the return receipt, if sent by registered or certified mail, except
that notices of changes of address shall not be effective until actual receipt.
19. Any indebtedness of the Borrower now or hereafter held by the
Guarantor is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Borrower to the
Lender, and such indebtedness of the Borrower to the Guarantor shall, if the
Lender so requests, be collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor as
trustee for the Lender and be paid over to the Lender on account of the
indebtedness of the Borrower to the Lender, but without reducing or limiting in
any manner the liability of the Guarantor under the other provisions of the
Guaranty.
20. This Guaranty is intended as a final expression of this agreement of
guaranty and is intended also as a complete and exclusive statement of the terms
of this agreement. No agreement or understanding entered into prior to the date
hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be binding upon the
Guarantor unless expressed herein. No course of prior dealings between the
Guarantor and the Lender, no usage of the trade, and no parole or extrinsic
evidence of any nature, shall be used or be relevant to supplement, explain,
contradict or modify the terms and/or provisions of this Guaranty.
21. Time is of the essence hereof.
8
100
22. THE GUARANTOR, BY ITS EXECUTION AND DELIVERY HEREOF, AND THE LENDER,
BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF, HEREBY (i) COVENANTS AND AGREES NOT TO ELECT A TRIAL
BY JURY OF ANY ISSUE TRIABLE OF RIGHT BY A JURY, AND (ii) WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO
TRIAL BY JURY FULLY TO THE EXTENT THAT ANY SUCH RIGHT SHALL NOW OR HEREAFTER
EXIST. THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IS SEPARATELY GIVEN, KNOWINGLY AND
VOLUNTARILY, BY THE GUARANTOR AND BY THE LENDER, AND THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO
ENCOMPASS INDIVIDUALLY EACH INSTANCE AND EACH ISSUE AS TO WHICH THE RIGHT OF A
JURY TRIAL WOULD OTHERWISE ACCRUE. THE LENDER IS HEREBY AUTHORIZED AND REQUESTED
TO SUBMIT THIS WAIVER TO ANY COURT HAVING JURISDICTION OVER THE SUBJECT MATTER
AND THE PARTIES HERETO, SO AS TO SERVE AS CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE OF THE FOREGOING
WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. FURTHER, THE GUARANTOR HEREBY CERTIFIES THAT
NO REPRESENTATIVE OR AGENT OF THE LENDER, INCLUDING THE LENDER'S COUNSEL, HAS
REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, TO THE GUARANTOR OR ITS REPRESENTATIVES OR
AGENTS THAT THE LENDER WILL NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THIS WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY
TRIAL PROVISION.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Guarantor has executed this Guaranty with the
intent to be legally bound as of the date first above written.

payable (it being understood that no prepayment shall be made of such
claims and no modification or acceleration, for default or otherwise, of
such maturity dates shall be permitted). After the occurrence of a
Liquidation Event or of default in payment or performance of any obligation
of the Borrower to the Lender, no interest and no principal payments on the
claims of the Creditor shall be made without the prior written consent of
the Lender. The subordination of claims of the Creditor hereunder shall
remain in effect so long as there shall be outstanding any obligation of
the Borrower to the Lender (for this purpose, the Borrower shall be deemed
obligated to the Lender so long as the Lender shall have outstanding any
commitment to make any loan to the Borrower, whether or not any such loan
shall have been made or advanced).
5. In the event that any Creditor receives a payment from the Borrower in
violation of the terms of this Agreement, such Creditor (a) shall hold such
money in trust for the benefit of Lender, (b) shall segregate such payment
from (and shall not commingle such payment with any of) the other funds of
such Creditor, and (c) shall forthwith remit such payment to Lender in the
exact form received (but with any necessary endorsement).
6. In case of (a) any assignment by the Borrower for the benefit of creditors,
(b) any bankruptcy proceedings instituted by or against the Borrower, (c)
the appointment of any receiver for the Borrower's business or assets, or
(d) any dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Borrower, the
Borrower and any assignee, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, or other person
or persons in charge, are hereby directed to pay to the Lender the full
amount of the Lender's claim against the Borrower before making any payment
of principal or interest to the Creditor and the Creditor hereby sells,
transfers, sets over and assigns to the Lender all claims the Creditor may
now or hereafter have against the Borrower and in any security therefor,
and the proceeds thereof, and all rights to any payments, dividends or
other distributions arising therefrom. If the Creditor does not file a
proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such proceeding prior
to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to file such claim in
such proceedings, then the Lender has the right (but no
- 2 -
118
obligation) to do so and is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim
or claims for and on behalf of the Creditor.
7. For violation of this Agreement, the Creditor shall be liable to the Lender
for all loss and damage sustained by reason of such breach, and upon any
such violation, the Lender may accelerate the maturity of its claims
against the Borrower, at the Lender's option.
8. The Creditor will, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further action,
that may be reasonably necessary in order to protect any right or interest
granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its rights
and remedies hereunder.
9. The Creditor will not amend, extend or in any way modify the terms of its
claims against the Borrower, as such terms exist as of the date of this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Creditor
agrees to provide to the Lender, upon the occurrence thereof, notice of the
existence of any event of default (however defined or described) under any
document or agreement relating to its claims against the Borrower, or any
condition, act or event, which with the giving of notice or the passage of
time or both would constitute an event of default (however defined or
described) thereunder.
10. All rights and interest of the Lender hereunder, and all agreements and
obligations of the Creditor hereunder, shall remain in full force and
effect irrespective of:
(a) any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of
the claims of the Lender against the Borrower (the "Senior Claims") and/or
any document or instrument executed in connection therewith;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other terms of, all or any of the Senior Claims, or any refinancing
thereof, or any other amendment, modification, extension or renewal of or
waiver of or any consent to departure from any document or instrument
relating thereto, including, without limitation, changes in the terms of
the repayment of loan proceeds, modifications, extensions or renewals of
payment dates, changes in interest rate or the advancement of additional
funds by the Lender in its discretion; or
(c) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any
release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any
guaranty, for all or any of the Senior Claims.
11. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any payment or performance of all or any portion of
the Senior Claims is
- 3 -
119
rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Lender or any other party to
the documents relating thereto upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or
reorganization of any such party or otherwise, all as though such payment
had not been made.
12. The Creditor hereby waives promptness, diligence, notice of acceptance and
any other notice with respect to this Agreement and any requirement that
the Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien
or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
against the Creditor or any other person or entity or any collateral.
13. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies
provided by law.
14. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement nor consent to
any departure by the Creditor therefrom shall in any event be effective
unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Lender, and then such
waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.
15. The Creditor agrees to pay upon demand, to the Lender the amount of any and
all expenses, including the reasonable fees and expenses of its counsel and
all court costs and other reasonable litigation expenses, including but not
limited to expert witness fees, document copying expenses, exhibit
preparation costs, and courier, postage and communication expenses, which
the Lender may incur in connection with the exercise or enforcement of any
of its rights or interest hereunder.
16. All notices, request and demands that may be required or otherwise provided
for or contemplated under the terms of this Agreement shall, whether or
not so stated, be in writing, and shall be given by any of the following
means: (a) personal delivery; (b) reputable overnight courier service; or
(c) registered or certified first class mail, return receipt requested. Any
notice, request or demand sent pursuant to clause (a) above shall be
deemed received upon personal delivery, and if sent pursuant to clause (b)
shall be deemed received on the next business day following delivery to the
courier service, and if sent pursuant to clause (c) shall be deemed

(hereinafter referred to as the "Lender")
The undersigned (hereinafter referred to as the "Creditor"), creditor of
BLOOMFIELD SERVICING COMPANY, L.L.C., a Michigan limited liability company
("Borrower"), desires that the Lender extend or continue to extend such
financial accommodations to the Borrower as the Borrower may require and as the
Lender may deem proper. For the purpose of inducing the Lender to grant,
continue or renew such financial accommodations, and in consideration thereof,
the Creditor agrees as follows:
1. That at the present time the Borrower is indebted to the Creditor in the
principal amounts set forth below:
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT

OR LOAN BORROWER
______________________________ ______________________________
______________________________ ______________________________
______________________________ ______________________________
______________________________ ______________________________

(Notes, if any, are to be delivered to the Lender)
2. That all claims of the Creditor against the Borrower now or hereafter
existing are and shall be at all times subject and subordinate to any and
all claims now or hereafter which the Lender may have against the Borrower
(and all extensions, renewals, modifications, replacements and
substitutions of or for the same), for so long as any such claim or claims
of the Lender shall exist.
3. That the Creditor shall not (a) except to the extent expressly permitted in
Section 4 hereof, receive payment of or collect, in whole or in part, or
▇▇▇ upon, any claim or claims now or hereafter existing which the Creditor
may hold against the Borrower; (b) sell, assign, transfer, pledge,
hypothecate or encumber such claim or claims except subject expressly to
this Agreement; (c) enforce any lien the Creditor may now or in the future
have on any debt owing by the Borrower to the Creditor;
- 1 -
124
and/or (d) join in any petition in bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit
of creditors or creditors' agreement, except as directed by the Lender, so
long as any claim of the Lender against the Borrower, or commitment of the
Lender to extend credit to the Borrower, is in existence.
4. So long as no event described in clauses (a) through (d) of Section 6 below
(a "Liquidation Event") shall have occurred and no default shall have
occurred in payment or performance of any obligation of the Borrower to the
Lender, regularly scheduled payments of interest and principal on the
claims of the Creditor may be made as and when the same become due and
payable (it being understood that no prepayment shall be made of such
claims and no modification or acceleration, for default or otherwise, of
such maturity dates shall be permitted). After the occurrence of a
Liquidation Event or of default in payment or performance of any
obligation of the Borrower to the Lender, no interest and no principal
payments on the claims of the Creditor shall be made without the prior
written consent of the Lender. The subordination of claims of the Creditor
hereunder shall remain in effect so long as there shall be outstanding any
obligation of the Borrower to the Lender (for this purpose, the Borrower
shall be deemed obligated to the Lender so long as the Lender shall have
outstanding any commitment to make any loan to the Borrower, whether or
not any such loan shall have been made or advanced).
5. In the event that any Creditor receives a payment from the Borrower in
violation of the terms of this Agreement, such Creditor (a) shall hold such
money in trust for the benefit of Lender, (b) shall segregate such payment
from (and shall not commingle such payment with any of) the other funds of
such Creditor, and (c) shall forthwith remit such payment to Lender in the
exact form received (but with any necessary endorsement).
6. In case of (a) any assignment by the Borrower for the benefit of creditors,
(b) any bankruptcy proceedings instituted by or against the Borrower, (c)
the appointment of any receiver for the Borrower's business or assets, or
(d) any dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the Borrower, the
Borrower and any assignee, trustee in bankruptcy, receiver, or other
person or persons in charge, are hereby directed to pay to the Lender the
full amount of the Lender's claim against the Borrower before making any
payment of principal or interest to the Creditor and the Creditor hereby
sells, transfers, sets over and assigns to the Lender all claims the
Creditor may now or hereafter have against the Borrower and in any security
therefor, and the proceeds thereof, and all rights to any payments,
dividends or other distributions arising therefrom. If the Creditor does
not file a proper claim or proof of debt in the form required in such
proceeding prior to thirty (30) days before the expiration of the time to
file such claim in such proceedings, then the Lender has the right (but no
- 2 -
125
obligation) to do so and is hereby authorized to file an appropriate claim
or claims for and on behalf of the Creditor.
7. For violation of this Agreement, the Creditor shall be liable to the
Lender for all loss and damage sustained by reason of such breach, and upon
any such violation, the Lender may accelerate the maturity of its claims
against the Borrower, at the Lender's option.
8. The Creditor will, at any time and from time to time, promptly execute and
deliver all further instruments and documents, and take all further
action, that may be reasonably necessary in order to protect any right or
interest granted hereby or to enable the Lender to exercise and enforce its
rights and remedies hereunder.
9. The Creditor will not amend, extend or in any way modify the terms of its
claims against the Borrower, as such terms exist as of the date of this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Lender. The Creditor
agrees to provide to the Lender, upon the occurrence thereof, notice of the
existence of any event of default (however defined or described) under any
document or agreement relating to its claims against the Borrower, or any
condition, act or event, which with the giving of notice or the passage of
time or both would constitute an event of default (however defined or
described) thereunder.
10. All rights and interest of the Lender hereunder, and all agreements and
obligations of the Creditor hereunder, shall remain in full force and
effect irrespective of:
(a) any sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or other disposition of
the claims of the Lender against the Borrower (the "Senior Claims") and/or
any document or instrument executed in connection therewith;
(b) any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any
other terms of, all or any of the Senior Claims, or any refinancing

release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any

11. This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case
may be, if at any time any payment or performance of all or any portion of

the Lender protect, secure, perfect or insure any security interest or lien
or any property subject thereto or exhaust any right or take any action
against the Creditor or any other person or entity or any collateral.
13. No failure on the part of the Lender to exercise, and no delay in
exercising, any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder preclude any
other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The
remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies

The above enumerated items, numbered 1, 2 and 3 are collectively referred
to as the "Loan Documents."
The opinions which follow are subject to the following assumptions,
limitations and qualifications:
A. We have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, other than of the
Borrowers and the Guarantor, the authenticity of all documents submitted to
us as originals, and the conformity with the original documents of all
documents submitted to us as reproduced copies, and the authenticity of
all such latter documents.
B. We have assumed the organization, existence, good standing and capacity of
all persons and entities other than the Borrowers and the Guarantor, and
that such parties, other than the Borrowers and the Guarantor, have the
right, power and authority to execute and deliver the Loan Documents and to
perform thereunder.
C. We have assumed that the Lender's obligations under the Agreement are
within the powers of the Lender and have been duly and validly authorized
and that the Agreement has been duly executed and validly delivered by and
is binding on and enforceable against the Lender.
D. As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have made such
factual inquiries of the Borrowers and the Guarantor, and have examined
such other documents and made such examinations of applicable laws, as we
have deemed necessary for purposes of the opinions expressed herein.
However, where we state that a matter is to the best of our knowledge, we
have relied upon the written statements of officers or managers of the
Guarantor and the Borrowers, with no inquiry as to the facts other than as
necessary to establish that such reliance was reasonable on our part.
E. We express no opinion with respect to the effect of any law other than the
law of the State of Michigan and the federal law of the United States.
With your agreement, we have given this opinion based on the application of
Michigan law, even though the Loan Documents and the Guaranty are governed
by the substantive and procedural law of the State of Minnesota, for which
purpose we have assumed that the statutory and common laws, and the
applicable rules and regulations of the State of

Michigan are identical, substantively similar or comparable to those of the
State of Minnesota.
Based upon such examinations and investigations, and such other
investigations and examinations as we have deemed necessary for the purposes of
the opinions expressed herein, and subject to the assumptions stated above in
paragraphs A through D, inclusive, and in our capacity as special counsel for
the Borrowers and the Guarantor, we are of the opinion that:

perform the Loan Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of the
Loan Documents by Bloomfield Servicing, including without limitation, the
borrowings under the Agreement and the pledge of the Collateral, have been
duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of
Bloomfield Servicing.
- 4 -
135
[OPINIONS CONCERNING THE BORROWERS]
4. The Loan Documents have been duly executed and delivered by each of the
Borrowers. The Loan Documents constitute the legal, valid and binding
obligations of the Borrowers and are enforceable in accordance with their
respective terms against the Borrowers, subject to (A) bankruptcy
insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent or preferential
conveyance laws and other similar laws of general application
affecting rights of creditors generally or the collection of debtor's
obligations generally, (B) application of general principles of equity and
the rules of enforceability, including those respecting the availability of
specific performance (regardless of whether such enforceability is
considered in a proceeding in equity or at law), and (C) limitations
imposed by public considerations with respect to the enforceability of any
indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in the Agreement.
5. Upon delivery to the Lender of those items of Collateral, consisting of
promissory notes secured by mortgages or deeds of trust ("Pledged
Mortgages") or mortgage-backed securities ("Pledged Securities"), or in
the case of Pledged Securities issued in book-entry form or issued in
certificated form and delivered to a clearing corporation (as such term is
defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) or its nominee, upon (a)
registration of such Pledged Securities in the name of a securities
intermediary (as such term is defined in the Uniform Commercial Code) in an
account containing only customer securities, (b) the notation of Lender's
security interest in such Pledged Securities on the records of such
securities intermediary, by book entry or otherwise, and (c) the sending by
such securities intermediary to the Lender of confirmation of such
notation, the Lender will have a valid and perfected security interest
therein. We assume, in giving this opinion, that such items of Collateral
will be owned by the Borrowers and that, at the time the Lender's security
interest is noted on the records of any securities intermediary, such
Pledged Securities will be free of any interest created through the Federal
Reserve Bank, clearing corporation and/or securities intermediary. With
respect to Pledged Mortgages, the laws of certain jurisdictions may require
the recordation of an assignment of such deeds of trust or mortgages in
order to perfect a security interest in the deed of trust or mortgage
(as opposed to the notes secured thereby). If the Lender does not record
its assignment of deeds of trust or mortgages in such jurisdictions, we
express no opinion as to the Lender's perfected security, interest in
such deeds of trust and mortgages (as opposed to the notes secured thereby)
constituting part of the Collateral.
6. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrowers of the Loan
Documents, will not (i) conflict with or violate any provision of the
Articles of Organization or Operating Agreement of either of the
Borrowers; (ii) require any license, approval or other action by any
governmental
- 5 -
136
authority that has not been obtained; (iii) to our actual knowledge, result
in the creation of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any property or
assets of each of the Borrowers other than in favor of the Lender; (iv) to
our actual knowledge, result in a violation or breach of any term or
provision, constitute a default under, or result in or require the
acceleration of any indebtedness of the Borrowers pursuant to, any
agreement or other instrument to which the Borrowers may be bound or to
which the Borrowers or any of their property may be subject; or (v) result
in any violation of the provisions of any law or any order of any court or,
to our actual knowledge, any governmental agency, to which the Borrowers
may be bound or to which the Borrowers or any of their property may be
subject.
7. To the best of our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings
pending or threatened against or affecting the Borrowers, in any court or
before any arbitrator or governmental authority which, if adversely
determined, may reasonably be expected to result in any material and
adverse change in the business, operations, assets or financial condition
of the Borrowers as a whole.
8. The making of the Advances as contemplated by the Agreement will not
violate Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve
System.
9. The Borrowers are not an "investment company" or "controlled" by an
"investment company" within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
[OPINIONS CONCERNING THE GUARANTOR]
10. The Guarantor has the power and authority to execute, deliver and perform
the Guaranty. The execution, delivery and performance of the Guaranty have
been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions on the part of
the Guarantor.
11. The Guarantor is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated;
has the full legal power and authority to own its property and to carry on
its business as currently conducted; and is duly qualified to do business
as a foreign corporation and is in good standing in all jurisdictions where
the ownership of its property or the conduct of its business makes such
qualification necessary.
12. The Guaranty has been duly executed and delivered by the Guarantor. The
Guaranty constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Guarantor and is enforceable in accordance with its terms against the
Guarantor, subject to (A) bankruptcy insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, fraudulent or preferential conveyance laws and other similar
laws of general application affecting rights of creditors generally or the
collection of debtor's obligations generally,
- 6 -
137
(B) application of general principles of equity and the rules of
enforceability, including those respecting the availability of specific
performance (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a
proceeding in equity or at law); and (C) limitations imposed by public
policy considerations with respect to the enforceability of any
indemnification and contribution provisions set forth in the Agreement.
13. The execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of the Guaranty
will not (a) conflict with or violate any provision of the Articles of
Incorporation or Bylaws of the Guarantor; (b) require any license, approval
or other action by any governmental authority that has not been obtained;
(c) to our actual knowledge, result in the creation of any lien, charge or
encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Guarantor other than in
favor of the Lender; (d) to our actual knowledge result in a violation or
breach of any term or provision, constitute a default under, or result in
or require the acceleration of any indebtedness of the Guarantor pursuant
to, any agreement or other instrument to which the Guarantor may be bound
or to which the Guarantor or any of its respective property may be subject;
or (e) result in any violation of the provisions of any law or, to our
actual knowledge, any order of any court or any governmental agency, to
which the Guarantor may be bound or to which the Guarantor or any of its
respective property may be subject.
14. To the best of our knowledge, there are no actions, suits, or proceedings
pending or threatened against or affecting the Guarantor, in any court or
before any arbitrator or governmental authority which, if adversely
determined, may reasonably be expected to result in any material adverse
change in the financial condition of the Guarantor.
This opinion may be relied upon by you and your successors and assigns and
by any participant in the Loan.
All capitalized terms used herein, not otherwise defined herein, shall have
the meanings given such terms in the Agreement.
Very truly yours,

TERMS OF GUARANTEED OBLIGATIONS
Each Borrower hereby agrees to the following terms with respect to Advances
made by the Lender to the other Borrower:
1. Each Borrower irrevocably, unconditionally and absolutely guarantees
to the Lender the due and prompt payment, and not just the collectibility, of
the principal of, and interest, fees and late charges and all other
indebtedness, if any, on the Advances made to the other Borrower when due,
whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise all at the times and places
and at the rates described in, and otherwise according to the terms of the Note
and the Agreement, whether now existing or hereafter created or arising.
2. Each Borrower further hereby irrevocably, unconditionally and
absolutely guarantees to the Lender the due and prompt performance by the other
Borrower of all duties, agreements and obligations of the other Borrower
contained in the Note and the Agreement, and the due and prompt payment of all
costs and expenses incurred, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees,
court costs and all other litigation expenses (including but not limited to
expert witness fees, exhibit preparation, and courier postage, communication
and document copying expenses), in enforcing the payment and performance of
the Note and the Agreement from the other Borrower (the payment and performance
of the items set forth in Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Exhibit M are collectively
referred to as the ("Other Borrower Debt").
3. In the event the other Borrower shall at any time fail to pay the
Lender any Other Borrower Debt when due, whether by acceleration or otherwise,
each Borrower promises to pay such amount to the Lender forthwith, together with
all collection costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys'
fees, court costs and all other litigation expenses (including but not limited
to expert witness fees, exhibit preparation, and courier, postage, communication
and document copying expenses).
4. Each Borrower does hereby (a) agree to any modifications of any terms
or conditions of any Other Borrower Debt and/or to any extensions or renewals
of time of payment or performance by the other Borrower; (b) agree that it shall
not be necessary for the Lender to resort to legal remedies against the other
Borrower, nor to take any action against any other Person obligated (an
"Obligor") on or against any collateral for payment or performance of the Other
Borrower Debt before proceeding against such Borrower; (c) agree that no release
of the other Borrower of any other guarantor or Obligor, or of any collateral,
for the Other Borrower Debt, whether by operation of law or by any act of the
Lender, with or without notice to such Borrower, shall release such Borrower;
and (d) waive notice of demand, dishonor, notice of dishonor, protest, and
notice of protest and waive, 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.
- 1 -
147
5. The obligations of each Borrower for the Other Borrower Debt shall be
primary, absolute and unconditional, and shall remain in full force and effect
without regard to, and shall not be impaired or affected by: (a) the
genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of, or any amendment or
change in the Agreement or the Note, or any change in or extension of the
manner, place or terms of payment of, all or any portion of the Other Borrower
Debt; (b) the taking or failure to take any action to enforce the Agreement or
the Note, or the exercise or failure to exercise any remedy, power or privilege
contained therein or available at law or otherwise, or the waiver by the Lender
of any provisions of the Agreement or the Note; (c) any impairment,
modification, change, release or limitation in any manner of the liability of
the other Borrower or their estate in bankruptcy, or of any remedy for the
enforcement of the other 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 the
other Borrower; (d) the merger or consolidation of the other Borrower, or any
sale or transfer by the other Borrower of all or part of its assets or property;
(e) any claim such Borrower may have against the other Borrower or any other
Obligor, including any claim of contribution; (f) the release, in whole or in
part, of any other guarantor (if more than one), the other Borrower or any other
Obligor; (g) any other action or circumstance which (with or without notice to
or knowledge of such Borrower) might in any manner or to any extent vary the
risks of such Borrower or otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge or
defense, it being understood and agreed by each Borrower that its obligations
for the Other Borrower Debt shall not be discharged except by the full payment
and performance of the Other Borrower Debt.
6. The Lender shall have the right to determine how, when and what
application of payments and credits, if any, whether derived from any Borrower
or from any other source, shall be made on the Obligations and any other
indebtedness owed by any Borrower and/or any other Obligor to the Lender.
7. The obligations of each Borrower hereunder shall continue to be
effective, or be automatically reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time
the performance or the payment, as the case may be, in whole or in part, of any
of the Other Borrower Debt is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or
returned by the Lender (as a preference, fraudulent conveyance or otherwise)
upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of
any Borrower or any other person or upon or as a result of the appointment of a
custodian, receiver, trustee or other officer with similar powers with respect
to any Borrower or any other Person, or any substantial part of its property, or
otherwise, all as though such payments had not been made. If an Event of Default
shall at any time have occurred and be continuing or shall exist and
declaration of default or acceleration under or with respect to the Other
Borrower Debt shall at such time be prevented by reason of the pendency against
any Borrower or any other Person of a case or
- 2 -
148
proceeding under a bankruptcy or insolvency law, each Borrower agrees that its
obligations for the Other Borrower Debt shall be deemed to have been declared in
default or accelerated with the same effect as if such obligations had been
declared in default and accelerated in accordance with their respective terms
and each Borrower shall forthwith perform or pay, as the case may be, as
required hereunder in accordance with the terms hereunder without further
notice or demand.
8. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably waives any claim or other rights that
he may now or hereafter acquire against the other Borrower that arises from the
existence, payment, performance or enforcement of such Borrower's obligations
for the Other Borrower Debt, including any right of subrogation, reimbursement,
exoneration or indemnification, any right to participate in any claim or remedy
of the Lender against the other Borrower or any collateral that the Lender now
has or hereafter acquires, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in
equity or under contract, statute or common law, including the right to take or
receive from the other Borrower directly or indirectly, in cash or other
property or by set-off or in any manner, payment or security on account of such
claim or other rights. If any amount shall be paid to either Borrower in
violation of the preceding sentence and the Other Borrower Debt shall not have
been paid and performed in full, such amount shall be deemed to have been paid
to such Borrower for the benefit of, and held in trust for, the Lender and shall
forthwith be paid to the Lender to be credited and applied to the Other Borrower
Debt, whether matured or unmatured. Notwithstanding the blanket waiver of
subrogation rights as set forth above, each Borrower hereby specifically
acknowledges that any subrogation rights which it may have against the other
Borrower or any collateral that the Lender now has or hereafter acquires may be
destroyed by a nonjudicial foreclosure of the collateral. This may give such
Borrower a defense to a deficiency judgment against it. Such Borrower hereby
irrevocably waives such defense. Each Borrower acknowledges that it will receive
direct and indirect benefits from the arrangements contemplated by the Agreement
and the Note and that the waivers set forth in this Section are knowingly made
in contemplation of such benefits.
9. No postponement or delay on the part of the Lender in the enforcement
of any right with respect to the Obligations of either Borrower, including,
without limitation, the other Borrower Debt, shall constitute a waiver of
such right and all rights of the Lender hereunder shall be cumulative and not
alternative and shall be in addition to any other rights granted to the Lender
in any other agreement or by law.
10. Any indebtedness of any Borrower now or hereafter held by the other
Borrower is hereby subordinated to the indebtedness of the Borrower to the
Lender, and such indebtedness of any Borrower to the other Borrower shall, from
and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, be collected, enforced and
received by the Borrower to which it is owed as trustee for the Lender and be
paid over to the Lender on account of the indebtedness of the other Borrower to
the Lender.
