(h) (i) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8(d) below, the Administrative Agent shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the written request therefor by the Companies, release from the security interest created hereby specifically identified portions of Other Collateral consisting of rights under Servicing Contracts or Master Servicing Contracts in connection with the sale of such rights, said release of lien to be evidenced by the execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent to the Companies, at no cost or expense to the Collateral Agent, the Administrative Agent or any Facility II Lender, of an appropriate form of UCC financing statement release and such other 15 <PAGE> documents as the Companies may reasonably request (the "Tranche C Release Documents"); provided, however, that (A) at the date of receipt from the Companies of a release request hereunder and at the date of delivery by the Administrative Agent to the Companies of the Tranche C Release Documents relating thereto (and both before and after giving effect to the requested release) there shall not exist an Event of Default or Potential Default, and (B) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Tranche C Loans will not exceed the Collateral Value of the Tranche C Borrowing Base. (ii) Subject to the provisions of Paragraph 8(d) below, the Administrative Agent shall, no later than ten (10) Business Days following receipt of the written request therefor by the Companies, release from the security interest created hereby specifically identified portions of DEF Collateral consisting of rights under those servicing contracts securing Servicing Loans, in connection with the sale of such rights, said release of lien to be evidenced by the execution and delivery by the Administrative Agent to the Companies, at no cost or expense to the Administrative Agent or any Facility II Lender, of an appropriate form of UCC financing statement release and such other documents as the Companies may reasonably request (such forms to be prepared by the Companies or the Administrative Agent) (the "Tranche E Release Documents"); provided, however, that (A) at the date of receipt from the Companies of a release request hereunder and at the date of delivery by the Administrative Agent to the Companies of the Tranche E Release Documents relating thereto (and both before and after giving effect to the requested release) there shall not exist an Event of Default or Potential Default, and (B) the aggregate outstanding principal balance of Tranche E Loans will not exceed the Collateral Value of the Tranche E Borrowing Base. (i) Except as expressly set forth herein or in the Custodial Agreement, the Collateral Agent shall not release any item of Collateral from the security interest created hereby without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent.

(j) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent shall take such steps as either of them may be reasonably directed from time to time by the Companies in writing (and, in the case of directions to the Collateral Agent, which are approved by the Administrative Agent in writing) which are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Security Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the other Credit Documents and which the Companies deem necessary to enable the 16 <PAGE> Companies to perform and comply with Take-Out Commitments or Hedging Arrangements and with other agreements for the sale or other disposition in whole or in part of Mortgage Loans. (k) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default and acceleration of the Obligations and if, but only if, such action is not inconsistent with the express provisions of this Security Agreement, the Custodial Agreement and the other Credit Documents and would not create an Event of Default or Potential Default, the Companies may, in connection with their respective residential mortgage banking businesses: originate, acquire and service Mortgage Loans; receive payments on Mortgage Loans from the Obligors thereon and impounds and fees in connection therewith; retain, use and apply fees and payments made on account of the Mortgage Loans by the Obligors thereunder; disburse from impound accounts; in the ordinary course of the Companies' business, create, use, destroy and transfer records, files and other items described in Paragraphs 5(a)(vi), 5(b)(v) or 5(c)(v) above; sell or otherwise dispose of Mortgage Loans not included in the computation of the Collateral Value of the Tranche A Borrowing Base or the Collateral Value of the Tranche B Borrowing Base, with or without servicing rights; pledge Mortgage Loans to the extent permitted under the Credit Documents; sell servicing rights; and enter into, exercise rights under, perform, modify, waive and cancel any Take-Out Commitments or Hedging Arrangements.

(h) All amounts payable on account of the sale or release pursuant to Paragraph 8(b) requiring payment by the Companies, of Mortgage Loans included in the Tranche A Borrowing Base or the Tranche B Borrowing Base, will be instructed to be paid directly by the purchaser or the Companies, as the case may be, to the Joint Settlement Account or to the Financial Institution Settlement Account maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent, each of which Joint Settlement Account and such Financial Institution Settlement Account shall be maintained by the Collateral Agent and shall be "no access" accounts to the Companies, the Administrative Agent and Collateral Agent except to the extent expressly permitted hereunder or under the Custodial Agreement.

This Paragraph 8(h) shall constitute notice to the Collateral Agent of such security interest pursuant to the Uniform Commercial Code of all relevant jurisdictions and any other law or regulation requiring such notice. The Collateral Agent shall hold the Financial Institution Settlement Account maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent's pro rata share of the Joint Settlement Account, and all funds at any time held therein or pertaining thereto, for the benefit of the Administrative Agent with all rights of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of all relevant jurisdictions. This Paragraph 8(h) shall further constitute irrevocable notice to the Collateral Agent that the accounts referred to above are "no access" accounts to the Companies, the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent except to the extent expressly permitted hereunder and under the Custodial Agreement. Upon written direction of the Administrative Agent, funds held in the Financial Institution Settlement Account maintained in the name of the Administrative Agent, and the Administrative Agent's pro rata share of funds held in the Joint Settlement Account, shall be disbursed by the Collateral Agent pursuant to the instructions of the Administrative Agent in accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and of the Custodial Agreement. 9. Reports. The Collateral Agent shall deliver to the Administrative ------- Agent, from time to time, such other reports and information as the Administrative Agent may from time to time reasonably request. In preparing any such reports the Collateral Agent shall be entitled to rely, without independent investigation (other than the review steps described in the Custodial Agreement and on Exhibit 1A hereto), on information supplied to the Collateral Agent by ---------- the Companies. Any expense incurred by the Collateral Agent in preparing such reports shall be paid by the Companies. 10. No Reliance. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible to the ----------- Administrative Agent, the Companies or any Lender, and the Administrative Agent shall not be responsible to the Collateral Agent, the Companies or any Lender, for any recitals, statements, representations or warranties contained herein, in the Custodial Agreement or in any other Credit Document; or for the execution, effectiveness, genuineness, validity, enforceability, collectability, accuracy, completeness or sufficiency of this Security Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or any other Credit Document or instruments executed and delivered, or 18 <PAGE> which could have been executed or delivered, in connection with this Security Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or the other Credit Documents, including, without limitation, the attachment, creation, effectiveness or perfection of the security interests granted or purported to be granted hereunder in and to the Collateral. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any discretionary powers or actions under this Security Agreement or any other Credit Document until the Collateral Agent shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to such action and shall have been indemnified by the Administrative Agent for the performance of such actions. The Administrative Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any discretionary powers or actions under this Security Agreement, the Custodial Agreement or any other Credit Document until such Person shall have received the prior written consent of one hundred percent (100%) of the Lenders to such action. 11. Fees of the Collateral Agent. The Custodian shall charge such fees ---------------------------- for its services under this Agreement as are set forth in a separate agreement between the Custodian and the Companies, the payment of which fees, together with the Custodian's expenses in connection herewith, shall be solely the obligation of the Companies. 12. Availability of Documents. The Administrative Agent and Lenders and ------------------------- its and their agents, accountants, attorneys and auditors will be permitted during normal business hours at any time and from time to time upon reasonable advance written notice to the Companies and to the Collateral Agent (but in no event less than two (2) Business Days) to examine (to the extent permitted by applicable law) the files, documents, records and other papers in the possession or under the control of the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent relating to any or all Collateral and to make copies thereof. Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, any such activity will be at the cost and expense of the Administrative Agent or Lender conducting such activity; following the occurrence of an Event of Default, all reasonable costs and expenses associated with the exercise by Administrative Agent or Lenders of their rights under this Paragraph 12 which have been reasonably incurred shall be promptly paid by the Companies upon demand of Administrative Agent or any Lender made through the Administrative Agent; provided, that if the Companies -------- shall not pay any expenses of the Collateral Agent relating to the exercise of the rights of Administrative Agent or Lenders under this Paragraph 12, the Administrative Agent or the Lenders, as applicable, shall pay such costs and expenses. 13.

Collection of Collateral Payments. ---------------------------------- (m) The Companies shall, at their sole cost and expense, endeavor to obtain payment, when due and payable, of (i) all sums due or to become due with respect to any A/B Collateral (each such payment being referred to as an "A/B Collateral Payment"), (ii) all sums due or to become due with respect to any DEF Collateral (each such payment being referred to as a "DEF Collateral Payment"), and (iii) all sums due or to become due with respect to any Other Collateral (each such payment being referred to as an "Other Collateral Payment") including, without limitation, in each case, the taking of such action with respect thereto as the Administrative Agent may reasonably request and, prior to such request, as the Companies may reasonably deem advisable; provided, however, that the Companies shall not, without the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent, grant or agree to any rebate, refund, compromise or extension with respect to any A/B Collateral Payment, DEF Collateral Payment, or Other Collateral Payment, as applicable, except as may be required by applicable laws or regulations or at the order of a Governmental Authority, or accept any prepayment on account thereof, except in accordance with the terms of the Required Documents. Upon the request of the Administrative Agent following the occurrence, and during the continuance, of an Event of Default (and subject to the requirements of applicable law), the Companies will notify and direct any party who is or might become obligated to make any A/B Collateral Payment, DEF Collateral Payment or Other Collateral Payment, to make payment thereof to the Administrative Agent (or to the Companies in care of the Administrative Agent) at such address as the Administrative Agent may designate. The Companies will reimburse the Administrative Agent and the Collateral Agent promptly upon demand for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees and litigation expenses, incurred by either such Person in seeking to collect any A/B Collateral Payment, DEF Collateral Payment or other Collateral Payment. (n) If there shall occur and be continuing an Event of Default, upon the request of the Administrative Agent (which request shall be made only upon direction of the Majority Lenders) the Companies will transmit and deliver to the Administrative Agent, forthwith upon receipt and in the form received, all cash, checks, drafts and other instruments for the payment of money (properly endorsed where required so that such items may be collected by the Administrative Agent) which may be received by the Companies any time as payment on account of any A/B Collateral Payment, DEF Collateral Payment or Other Collateral Payment and if such request shall be made, until delivery to the Administrative Agent, such items will be held in trust for the Administrative 23 <PAGE> Agent and will not be commingled by the Companies with any of their other funds or property. Thereafter, the Administrative Agent is hereby authorized and empowered to endorse the name of the Companies on any check, draft or other instrument for the payment of money received by the Administrative Agent on account of any A/B Collateral Payment, DEF Collateral Payment or other Collateral Payment if the Administrative Agent believes such endorsement is necessary or desirable for purposes of collection. (o) The Companies hereby agree, jointly and severally, to indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents, officers, employees and representatives from and against any and all claims, obligations, penalties, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and disbursements, losses, liabilities and damages (including, without limitation, reasonably attorneys' fees) of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, assessed against or incurred by such Person in any way resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Companies relating to or arising out of the collection of A/B Collateral Payments, DEF Collateral Payments or Other Collateral Payments, and such obligation of the Companies shall continue in effect after and notwithstanding the discharge of the Obligations and the release of the security interest granted in Paragraph 4 above.

Delivery of Collateral by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent ------------------------------------------ hereby agrees that following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, upon written notice by the Administrative Agent to the Collateral Agent (which notice shall be given only upon direction of the Majority Lenders), the Collateral Agent shall immediately deliver to the Administrative Agent all Collateral held by the Collateral Agent for the benefit of the Administrative Agent under and pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement which is capable of being delivered, together with any endorsements, assignments or releases reasonably requested by the Administrative Agent with respect to such Collateral and copies of any electronic files which may have been maintained by 24 <PAGE> the Collateral Agent with respect to such Collateral. As part of such delivery, all items, if any, (including promissory notes) endorsed to the order of the Collateral Agent will be endorsed by the Collateral Agent to the order of the Administrative Agent and, if any assignments of mortgages, deeds of trust, etc., name the Collateral Agent as assignee, then the Collateral Agent will execute, acknowledge and deliver in recordable form appropriate assignments naming the Administrative Agent as assignee of such mortgages, deeds of trust, etc. 17. Authorized Action by Administrative Agent. The Companies hereby ----------------------------------------- irrevocably appoint the Administrative Agent as their attorney-in-fact to do (but the Administrative Agent shall not be obligated to and shall incur no liability to the Companies or any third party for failure so to do) at any time and from time to time following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default at the request and direction, given after the occurrence of an Event of Default, of the Majority Lenders (which request and direction must be in writing if so requested by the Administrative Agent), any act which the Companies are obligated by this Security Agreement to do, and to exercise such rights and powers as the Companies might exercise with respect to the Collateral, including, without limitation, the right to (i) collect by legal proceedings or otherwise and endorse, receive and receipt for all dividends, interest, payments, proceeds and other sums and property now or hereafter payable on or on account of the Collateral; (ii) enter into any extension, reorganization, deposit, merger, consolidation or other agreement pertaining to, or deposit, surrender, accept, hold or apply other property in exchange for the Collateral; (iii) insure, process and preserve the Collateral; (iv) transfer the Collateral to the Administrative Agent's own or its nominee's name; and (v) make any compromise or settlement, and take any other action it deems advisable with respect to the Collateral.

The Collateral Agent. -------------------- (p) Appointment. The Administrative Agent hereby appoints the Collateral ----------- Agent as the agent for the Administrative Agent under the Credit Documents and authorizes the Collateral Agent as agent of the Administrative Agent to take such action on its behalf under the provisions of this Security Agreement and to exercise such powers and perform such duties as are expressly delegated thereto by the terms of this Security Agreement, together with such 25 <PAGE> other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto, and which the Collateral Agent is expressly directed to undertake by the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall have no duties or responsibilities except those expressly set forth herein, nor any fiduciary relationship with any Lender, and no implied covenants, responsibilities, obligations or liabilities shall be read into the Credit Documents or otherwise exist against the Collateral Agent. (q) Delegation of Duties. The Collateral Agent may execute any of its -------------------- duties under this Security Agreement by or through agents or attorneys-in-fact and shall be entitled to advice of counsel concerning such duties. The Collateral Agent shall not be responsible for the negligence or misconduct of any agents or attorneys-in-fact selected by it with reasonable care. (r) Exculpatory Provisions. Neither the Collateral Agent nor any of its ---------------------- officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys-in-fact or Affiliates shall be liable to any Lender or the Administrative Agent for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or such Person under or in connection with the Credit Documents (except for its or such Person's own negligence or willful misconduct). In no event shall the Collateral Agent or any of its officers, directors, employees, agents, counsel, attorneys in-fact or Affiliates be held liable for any special, indirect, punitive or consequential damages resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Person hereunder or in connection herewith. The Collateral Agent shall be under no obligation to the Administrative Agent to ascertain or to inquire as to the observance or performance of any of the agreements contained in, or conditions of, the Credit Documents (other than agreements required to be complied with by the Collateral Agent thereunder and subject to the standards of care set forth therein with respect thereto) or to inspect the properties, books or records of the Companies. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled to refrain from exercising any discretionary powers or actions under this Agreement or any other Credit Document until it shall have received the prior written consent of the Administrative Agent to such action. (s) Reliance by Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be entitled ---------------------------- to rely, and shall be fully protected in relying, upon any note, writing, resolution, notice, consent, certification, affidavit, letter, cablegram, telegram, telecopy, telex or teletype message, statement, order or other document or conversation believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed, sent or made by the proper Person or Persons and upon advice and statements of legal counsel (including, without limitation, counsel to the Companies), independent accountants and other experts selected by the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent may deem and treat the payee of any Note as the owner thereof for all 26 <PAGE> purposes unless a written notice of assignment, negotiation or transfer thereof shall have been filed with the Collateral Agent. The Collateral Agent shall be fully justified in failing or refusing to take any action under the Credit Documents unless it shall first receive such advice or concurrence of the Administrative Agent or it shall first be indemnified to its satisfaction by the Administrative Agent or the Lenders against any and all liability and expense which may be incurred by it by reason of taking or continuing to take any action (other than liability and expense arising out of the Collateral Agent's gross negligence or willful misconduct). The Collateral Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in refraining from acting, under the Credit Documents in accordance with a request of the Administrative Agent absent gross negligence and willful misconduct on the part of the Collateral Agent in the method in which it acts or refrains from acting in accordance therewith, and such request and any action taken or failure to act pursuant thereto shall be binding upon the Administrative Agent. (t) Notice of Default; Agreement to Advance. The Collateral Agent shall be --------------------------------------- deemed to have no knowledge or notice of the occurrence of any Event of Default or Potential Default under the Credit Documents unless the Collateral Agent has received notice from the Administrative Agent or the Companies referring to the Credit Documents, describing such Event of Default or Potential Default and stating that such notice is a "notice of default". In the event that the Collateral Agent receives such a notice, the Collateral Agent shall give notice thereof to the Companies and the Administrative Agent. The Collateral Agent shall take such action with respect to such Event of Default or Potential Default as is set forth in Paragraph 16 and as shall be reasonably directed by the Administrative Agent; provided, however that unless and until the Collateral Agent shall have received such directions, the Collateral Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action or refrain from taking such action (in each case consistent with the provisions of the Credit Documents), with respect to such Event of Default or Potential Default, as it shall deem advisable in the best interest of the Administrative Agent. (u) Indemnification. The Companies hereby agree, jointly and severally, to --------------- indemnify, defend and save harmless each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent and their respective agents, officers, employees and representatives from and against any and all claims, obligations, penalties, actions, suits, judgments, reasonable costs and disbursements, losses, liabilities and damages (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees) of any kind whatsoever which may at any time be imposed on, assessed against or incurred by such Person in any way resulting from any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Companies 27 <PAGE> relating to or arising out of this Security Agreement or any documents contemplated hereby or referred to herein or the transactions contemplated hereby, and such obligation of the Companies shall continue in effect after and notwithstanding the discharge of the Obligations and the release of the security interest granted in Paragraph 5 above. Each of the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent agrees that it will promptly notify the Companies of any claim, action or suit asserted or commenced against it and that the Companies may assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Collateral Agent and the Administrative Agent at the Companies' sole expense, that it will cooperate with the Companies on such defense, and that such Person will not settle any such claim, action or suit without the consent of the Companies which consent will not be unreasonably withheld; provided, however, -------- ------- that in the event the Collateral Agent or the Administrative Agent, as applicable, is not reasonably satisfied with such defense, such Persons may assume such defense with counsel satisfactory to such Persons at the Companies' sole expense. The Lenders agree to indemnify and hold harmless the Collateral Agent in its capacity as such ratably in accordance with their Percentage Shares to the extent required by the Companies hereunder if the Collateral Agent is not reimbursed by the Companies pursuant to the terms hereof and without limiting the obligation of the Companies to do so. The indemnification obligations of the Companies and Lenders under this Paragraph 18(f) shall survive termination of the Credit Documents and payment in full of the Obligations. (v) Collateral Agent in Its Individual Capacity. The Collateral Agent and ------------------------------------------- its Affiliates may make loans to, accept deposits from and generally engage in any kind of business with the Companies as though the Collateral Agent were not the Collateral Agent hereunder. With respect to such loans made or renewed by it and any note issued to it under the Credit Documents, the Collateral Agent shall have the same rights and powers under the Credit Documents as any Lender under the Credit Documents and may exercise the same as though it were not the Collateral Agent, and the terms "Lender" and "Lenders" shall include the Collateral Agent in its individual capacity. 28 <PAGE> (w) Successor Agents. ---------------- (i) The Collateral Agent may resign as such under the Credit Documents upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the other parties hereto. If the Collateral Agent shall resign, then, on or before the effective date of such resignation, the Administrative Agent shall appoint a successor agent reasonably acceptable to the Companies, whereupon such successor agent shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term "Collateral Agent" shall mean such successor agent effective upon its appointment, and the former Collateral Agent's rights, powers and duties shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of such former Collateral Agent or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or successors thereto. Upon such appointment, the resigned Collateral Agent will deliver all Collateral to the successor Collateral Agent and take all other steps deemed necessary by the Administrative Agent to vest the successor Collateral Agent with all rights, titles, and powers given to the Collateral Agent hereunder. After the Collateral Agent's resignation hereunder, the provisions of this Paragraph 18(h)(i) shall inure to its benefit as to any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was Collateral Agent under the Credit Documents. (ii) The appointment of BT as Collateral Agent hereunder shall terminate upon the removal of BT as Custodian under the Custodial Agreement pursuant to the terms thereof. In the event that BT is removed as Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, the party appointed as BT's successor Custodian under the Custodial Agreement shall also become the Collateral Agent hereunder and shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term "Collateral Agent" shall mean the party appointed as BT's successor Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, and BT's rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent hereunder shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of BT or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or successors thereto. Provided, however, that -------- ------- notwithstanding anything contained in this Paragraph 18(h)(ii) to the contrary, if BT is removed as Custodian under the Custodial Agreement, and the Administrative Agent does not approve the appointment of the party appointed as BT's successor Custodian under the Custodial Agreement as Collateral Agent hereunder, then FUNB shall become the Collateral Agent hereunder and shall succeed to the rights, powers and duties of the Collateral Agent, and the term "Collateral Agent" shall mean FUNB, and BT's rights, powers and duties as Collateral Agent hereunder shall be terminated without any other or further act or deed on the part of BT or any of the parties to this Agreement or any of the other Credit Documents or successors thereto.
