ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS
 
     The Florida Act authorizes Florida corporations to indemnify any person who
was  or is a party to  any proceeding (other than an  action by, or in the right
of, the corporation), by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director,
officer, employee, or  agent of  the corporation  or is  or was  serving at  the
request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another
corporation  or other entity, against liability incurred in connection with such
proceeding, including any appeal thereof, if he  or she acted in good faith  and
in  a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best
interests of  the  corporation and,  with  respect  to any  criminal  action  or
proceeding,  had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.
In the case of an action by  or on behalf of a corporation, indemnification  may
not be made if the person seeking indemnification is adjudged liable, unless the
court  in which  such action  was brought determines  such person  is fairly and
reasonably entitled to  indemnification. The indemnification  provisions of  the
Florida Act require indemnification if a director or officer has been successful
on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding to which
he  or she was a party by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director
or officer of the corporation. The indemnification authorized under Florida  law
is  not exclusive and is in addition to any other rights granted to officers and
directors under the Articles  of Incorporation or Bylaws  of the corporation  or
any agreement between officers and directors and the corporation.
 
     Under  the Florida  Act, a director  is not personally  liable for monetary
damages to the Company or any other person  for acts or omissions in his or  her
capacity  as a director except in  certain limited circumstances such as certain
violations of criminal  law and transactions  in which the  director derived  an
improper  person benefit.  As a  result, shareholders  may be  unable to recover
monetary damages against directors  for actions taken  by them which  constitute
negligence  or gross  negligence or  which are  in violation  of their fiduciary
duties, although injunctive or  other equitable relief  may be available.  These
provisions  will not  limit the liability  of the Company's  directors under the
Federal securities laws.
 
     The Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company  shall
indemnify  officers and directors, and to the  extent authorized by the Board of
Directors, employees and agents of the Company, to the full extent permitted  by
and  in the manner permissible  by law in existence  either now or hereafter. In
addition, the Certificate of Incorporation  also permits the Board of  Directors
to  authorize  the  Company  to  purchase  and  maintain  insurance  against any
liability asserted  against any  director,  officer, employee  or agent  of  the
Company  arising out  of his capacity  as such. The  Company presently maintains
policies of directors' and officers' liability  insurance in the amount of  $2.0
million.
 
     The  Underwriting Agreement filed  as Exhibit 1  hereto contains reciprocal
agreements of indemnity between the Company  and the Underwriters as to  certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the
 
                                      II-1
 
<PAGE>
<PAGE>
Securities Act, and in certain circumstances provides for the indemnification of
the Company's directors, officers, and controlling persons.
 
     Certain  registration rights agreements between  the Company and certain of
its shareholders  contain reciprocal  agreements between  the Company  and  such
shareholders   as  to  certain  liabilities,  including  liabilities  under  the
Securities Act, and in certain circumstances provide for indemnification of  the
Company's directors, officers and controlling persons.
 
ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES
 
     In  March, 1996, the Partnership issued  a debenture due September 18, 1996
to Rotch Property  Group Limited for  $1.8 million. Pursuant  to the  debenture,
Rotch  Property Group Limited has the right to convert the debenture into shares
of Common Stock of the Registrant and  receive shares of Common Stock, $.01  par
value  per share,  at a  price equal to  93% of  the public  offering price. The
Company will pay all amounts due under the Rotch Debenture from the proceeds  of
the  Public  Offering.  The issuance  of  the  Rotch Debenture  was  exempt from
registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof.
 
     As of December  31, 1995, the  Partnership entered into  an agreement  with
ContiTrade  Services Corporation  in which the  Partnership issued  an option to
purchase  limited   partnership  interests   which,  in   connection  with   the
Reorganization  Plan,  will  become a  warrant  for  1.5 million  shares  of the
Registrant's Common Stock, $.01  par value per share.  Both the issuance of  the
Conti  Option and  its exchange for  the Conti Warrant  were transactions exempt
from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Section 4(2) thereof.

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS
 
     The   undersigned   Registrant  hereby   undertakes   to  provide   to  the
Underwriters,  at  the   closing  specified  in   the  Underwriting   Agreement,
certificates  in such denominations and registered  in such names as required by
the Underwriters to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
may  be  permitted  to  directors,  officers  and  controlling  persons  of  the
Registrant  pursuant to the  foregoing provisions, or  otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the  opinion of the Securities and Exchange  Commission
such  indemnification is against public  policy as expressed in  the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification  against
such  liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a director,  officer or controlling person  of the Registrant in  the
successful  defense  of any  action,  suit or  proceeding)  is asserted  by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities  being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has  been settled  by controlling  precedent, submit  to a  court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such  indemnification by it is against  public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
 
     The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
          (1)  For purposes  of determining  any liability  under the Securities
     Act, the information omitted from the  form of prospectus filed as part  of
     this  Registration Statement in reliance upon  Rule 430A and contained in a
     form of prospectus filed  by the Registrant pursuant  to Rule 424(b)(1)  or
     (4)  or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall  be deemed to be part of this
     Registration Statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
          (2) For the purpose of determining any liability under the  Securities
     Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall
     be  deemed to  be a new  Registration statement relating  to the securities
     offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall  be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

               "Wet  Funding  Notice"  means a request by the Seller to Buyer to
purchase Wet Ink Mortgage Loans, in the form  substantially  as set forth in the
Custodial Agreement.

               "Wet Ink Mortgage Loans" means Mortgage Loans
purchased by Buyer subject to a Wet Funding Notice and not in
the possession of the Custodian.

        3.     INITIATION; COMMITMENT FEE; CONFIRMATION; TERMINATION.

               (a) On the terms and subject to the  conditions  set forth herein
(including  without  limitation the absence of any event of default  hereunder),
Buyer  agrees  from time to time,  at such  times as Seller  shall  request,  to
purchase  Mortgage  Loans  from the  Seller on or before  one year from the date
hereof;  provided,  however,  that the aggregate Purchase Price of the Purchased
Mortgage  Loans at any one time  transferred  to Buyer  and not  repurchased  by
Seller shall not exceed the Maximum Facility Amount.  An agreement to enter into
a  Transaction  may be entered  into orally or in writing at the  initiation  of
either  Buyer or Seller.  In any event,  Buyer  shall  confirm the terms of each
Transaction by issuing a written  confirmation  to the Seller promptly after the
parties enter into such Transaction  containing the terms set forth on EXHIBIT I
attached  hereto  (a  "Confirmation").  Such  Confirmation  shall  describe  the
Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,  identify  Buyer  and  Seller  and set forth (i) the
Purchase Date,  (ii) the Purchase  Price,  (iii) the Repurchase  Date,  (iv) the
Pricing Rate applicable to the Transaction, and (v) may contain additional terms
or  conditions  not  inconsistent  with this  Agreement.  After  receipt  of the
Confirmation,  the Seller shall,  subject to the  provisions  of subsection  (c)
below, sign the Confirmation and promptly return it to Buyer.

               (b) Any  Confirmation  by Buyer  shall  be  deemed  to have  been
received by Seller on the date actually received by Seller.

               (c) Each  Confirmation,  together with this  Agreement,  shall be
conclusive  evidence of the terms of the  Transaction(s)  covered thereby unless
objected to in writing by the Seller no more than one (1) Business Day after the
date  the  Confirmation  was  received  by the  Seller  or  unless  a  corrected
Confirmation  is sent by Buyer.  An  objection  sent by the  Seller  must  state
specifically  that the writing is an  objection,  must specify the  provision(s)
being objected to by the Seller,  must set forth such provision(s) in the manner
that the Seller believes they should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no
more than one (1)  Business  Day  after the  Confirmation  was  received  by the
Seller.

               (d) On the Repurchase  Date,  termination of the Transaction will
be  effected by transfer  to Seller or its  designee of the  Purchased  Mortgage
Loans  (and any  Income in  respect  thereof  received  by Buyer not  previously
credited or transferred  to, or applied to the obligations of Seller pursuant to
Section 5) and the  simultaneous  delivery by Buyer to the Servicer of a Release
of  Instructions  in the form of  EXHIBIT VI hereto,  against  the  simultaneous
transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer; provided, however, that
the Seller's  obligation  to  repurchase  any  Purchased  Mortgage Loan shall be
subject to the continued accuracy of the  representations  and warranties of the
Buyer set forth in Section 10 hereof  with  respect to such


                                      7

Purchased  Mortgage Loan.  Seller is obligated to obtain the Mortgage Files from
Buyer or its  designee  (including  the  Custodian)  at Seller's  expense on the
Repurchase Date.

        4.     COLLATERAL AMOUNT MAINTENANCE.

               (a) If at any time the  Repurchase  Price of  Purchased  Mortgage
Loans subject to a Transaction  is greater than the  Collateral  Amount for such
Transaction (a "Collateral Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require
Seller,  to transfer to Buyer or its designee  (including the Custodian) (at the
Buyer's  option)  Mortgage  Loans  or cash  ("Additional  Loans"),  so that  the
Repurchase Price shall be no greater than the Collateral  Amount, and thereafter
such  Additional  Loans shall be included in the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans for
purposes of determining Seller's Collateral Amount maintenance obligations.

               (b) Notice required pursuant to subsection (a) above may be given
by any means of telecopier or telegraphic transmission. A notice for the payment
or delivery in respect of a Collateral  Deficit must be met not later than 10:00
a.m.  (New York time) on the next  Business Day  following the date on which the
notice was given.  Any notice given on a Business Day after 10:00 a.m. (New York
time) shall be met not later than 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on the next Business
Day following the date the notice was given. The failure of Buyer, on any one or
more  occasions,  to exercise  its rights under  subsection  (a) of this Section
shall not change or alter the terms and  conditions  to which this  Agreement is
subject or limit the right of the Buyer to do so at a later date.  Buyer  agrees
that a failure or delay to  exercise  its rights  under  subsection  (a) of this
Section shall not limit its rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by
law or in any way create additional rights for the Seller.

        5.     INCOME PAYMENTS.

               (a) Where a particular  Transaction's term extends over an Income
payment date on the Purchased  Mortgage Loans subject to that  Transaction  such
Income  shall be the property of Buyer.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  Buyer
agrees  that (i) if a Servicer  is in place for the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,
Servicer  shall  continue  to remit  Income to Seller,  or (ii) if Seller is the
servicer of the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,  Seller is  permitted to retain the
Income,  until and unless Buyer directs Servicer or Seller,  as the case may be,
to hold such Income in a segregated account for and on behalf of Buyer and/or to
remit such Income directly to Buyer.

               (b)  Notwithstanding  that  Buyer  and  Seller  intend  that  the
Transactions hereunder be sales to Buyer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller
shall pay to Buyer the  accredited  value of the  Price  Differential  (less any
amount of such Price Differential previously paid by Seller to Buyer) (each such
payment, a "Periodic Payment") on the first Business Day of each month.

               (c) Buyer shall offset against the Repurchase  Price of each such
Transaction all Income and Periodic Payments actually received by Buyer pursuant
to Sections 5.(a) and 5.(b), respectively.

        6.  SECURITY  INTEREST.  The  Buyer  and  the  Seller  intend  that  the
Transactions hereunder be sales to the Buyer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans and
not loans from the Buyer to the Seller secured by the Purchased  Mortgage Loans.
However,  in order to preserve the Buyer's  rights  under this  Agreement in the
event that a court or other forum recharacterizes the Transactions  hereunder as
loans  and as  security  for  the  performance  by  Seller  of  all of  Seller's
obligations  to Buyer under this  Agreement  and the  Transactions  entered into
pursuant  to this  Agreement,  Seller  grants  Buyer a first  priority  security
interest  in the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,  Servicing  Agreements,  Servicing
Records,  insurance  relating to the Mortgage Loans and Income accounts relating
to the Mortgage  Loans and any other  contract  rights  (including  the right to
receive  principal and interest  payments with respect to the Mortgage Loans and
the right to enforce such  payments  and  including  any rights  Seller may have
against an Obligor and in any Warehouse Mortgage Loans), general intangibles and
other  assets  relating to the  Mortgage  Loans or any  interest in the Mortgage
Loans,  the servicing of the Mortgage Loans (including and the right to contract
for  servicing),  securities  backed  by or  representing  an  interest  in such
Mortgage Loans,  Takeout  Commitments and any other property of Seller held from
time to time by Buyer or its Affiliates (collectively, the "Collateral").

        7.     PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY.

               (a) Unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing, all transfers of
funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds.

               (b) On the Purchase Date for each  Transaction,  ownership of the
Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  shall be  transferred  to the Buyer or its  designee
(including  the  Custodian)  against the  simultaneous  transfer of the Purchase
Price to an  account of Seller  specified  in the  Confirmation.  In the case of
Purchased   Mortgage   Loans  other  than  Wet  Ink  Mortgage   Loans,   Seller,
simultaneously  with the  delivery to the Buyer or its designee  (including  the
Custodian) of the Purchased  Mortgage Loans relating to each Transaction  hereby
sells,  transfers,  conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee  (including the
Custodian) without recourse, but subject to the terms of this Agreement, all the
right,  title and  interest  of Seller in and to the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans
together  with all  right,  title and  interest  in and to the  proceeds  of any
related insurance  policies.  In the case of Purchased  Mortgage Loans which are
Wet Ink Mortgage Loans, Seller, simultaneously with the purchase by the Buyer of
the Wet Ink Mortgage Loans relating to each Transaction hereby sells, transfers,
conveys and assigns to Buyer or its designee  (including the Custodian)  without
recourse,  but subject to the terms of this Agreement,  all the right, title and
interest of Seller in and to such  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  together with all
right,  title and  interest  in and to the  proceeds  of any  related  insurance
policies. Upon transfer of the Mortgage Loans to Buyer as set forth in Paragraph
3(a) of this Agreement (or in the case of Purchased Mortgage Loans which are Wet
Ink Mortgage Loans, upon the purchase thereof by Buyer) and until termination of
any  Transactions  as set forth in this  Agreement,  record title in the name of
Seller to each  Mortgage  Loan  shall be  retained  by Seller in trust,  for the
benefit of Buyer,  for the sole purpose of  facilitating  the  servicing and the
supervision of the servicing of the Mortgage Loans by Seller in accordance  with
Section 25 hereof.

prior to  Buyer's  purchase  thereof,  the  following  original  documents  (the

               (e) Prior to the first Transaction, Seller shall deliver to Buyer
the following  which shall be held in escrow by the Buyer until the  termination
of this Agreement or the occurrence of an Event of Default:

                           (i) a fully executed power of attorney  substantially
               in the form of EXHIBIT III attached hereto irrevocably appointing
               Buyer its attorney-in-fact with full power, upon Seller's failure
               or refusal,  to complete and record the  assignment  of Mortgage,
               complete the endorsement of the Mortgage Note and take such other
               steps as may be necessary or desirable to enforce  Buyer's rights
               against such Mortgage Loans,  the related  Mortgage Files and the
               Servicing Records; and

                          (ii)  a   fully   executed   irrevocable   letter   of
               instructions to Servicers or master  servicers,  substantially in
               the form of EXHIBIT IV attached hereto,  directing such Servicers
               or Master  Servicer to make all  payments  of Income  directly to
               Buyer.

               (f)  Buyer  may  deposit  the  Mortgage  Files  representing  the
Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,  or  direct  that the  Mortgage  Files be  deposited
directly, with a designee acting in the capacity of bailee for the Buyer. If the
Mortgage  Files are  delivered to Buyer or its  designee,  Buyer or its designee
shall during the term of this Agreement exercise  reasonable and prudent care in
the  maintenance  thereof.  If the  Mortgage  Loan  Documents  are  delivered to
Custodian,  the  Mortgage  Files  shall be  maintained  in  accordance  with the
Custodial Agreement.  The Seller understands and agrees that the Custodian shall
have  no  responsibility  to the  Seller,  including,  without  limitation,  any
responsibility  to keep the Seller informed of any changes in the status of such
Mortgage Files or in the Buyer's  instructions  with respect thereto,  except as
explicitly set forth in the Custodial Agreement.

               (g) Any  Mortgage  Files not  delivered  to Buyer or its designee
(including  the  Custodian)  are and shall be held in trust by the Seller or its
designee  for the benefit of the Buyer as the owner  thereof.  The Seller or its
designee  shall  maintain a copy of the Mortgage  File and the  originals of the
Mortgage File not delivered to Buyer or its designee  (including the Custodian).
The possession of the Mortgage File by the Seller or its designee is at the will
of the Buyer for the sole purpose of servicing  the related  Purchased  Mortgage
Loan,  and such  retention and  possession by the Seller or its designee is in a
custodial  capacity  only.  Each Mortgage File retained or held by the Seller or
its designee  shall be  identified  on the  Seller's  books and records from the
other  assets of the  Seller or its  designee  and the books and  records of the
Seller or its designee shall be marked appropriately to reflect clearly the sale
of the related Purchased  Mortgage Loan to the Buyer. The Seller or its designee
shall release its custody of the Mortgage  File only in accordance  with written
instructions  from the Buyer,  unless such release is required as  incidental to
the  servicing  of the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  or is in  connection  with a
repurchase of any Purchased Mortgage Loan by Seller.

         8.  HYPOTHECATION OR PLEDGE OF PURCHASED  MORTGAGE LOANS.  Title to all
Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  shall  pass to Buyer and Buyer  shall  have free and
unrestricted  use of all Purchased  Mortgage  Loans.  Nothing in this  Agreement
shall preclude Buyer from engaging in


                                       12


<PAGE>
<PAGE>






repurchase transactions with the Purchased Mortgage Loans or otherwise pledging,
repledging,  hypothecating,  or  rehypothecating  the Purchased  Mortgage Loans,
subject to the terms and  conditions  set forth in this  Agreement,  but no such
transaction  shall  relieve  Buyer  of its  obligations  to  transfer  Purchased
Mortgage  Loans to Seller  pursuant  to Section  3.  Nothing  contained  in this
Agreement  shall  obligate  Buyer to  segregate  any  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans
delivered to Buyer by Seller.

        9.     SUBSTITUTION.

               (a) Subject to Section  9.(b),  Seller may, upon one (1) Business
Days  written  notice  to  Buyer,  with a copy to  Custodian,  substitute  other
Mortgage Loans for any Purchased Mortgage Loans. Such substitution shall be made
by transfer to Buyer or its designee  (including  the Custodian) of the Mortgage
File of such  other  Mortgage  Loans  together  with a  Custodial  Delivery  and
transfer to Seller or its designee of the Purchased Mortgage Loans requested for
release. After substitution,  the substituted Mortgage Loans, shall be deemed to
be Purchased Mortgage Loans.

               (b)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
Seller may not substitute other Mortgage Loans for any Purchased  Mortgage Loans
if (i) after taking into account such substitution, a Collateral Deficit were to
occur, or (ii) Buyer does not consent to such  substitution  which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld.

        10.    REPRESENTATIONS.

               (a) As of each Purchase Date, each of Buyer and Seller represents

so on its  behalf  (or on  behalf  of any  such  disclosed  principal);  (iv) no

authorization has been or will, prior to the Purchase Date, be obtained; (v) the
execution,  delivery,  and  performance of this  Agreement and the  Transactions

constitute a default (or an event which,  with notice or lapse of time,  or both
would  constitute  a default)  under or result in a breach of any  agreement  or
other  instrument  by  which  it is bound  or by  which  any of its  assets  are
affected;  (vi) it has received  approval and  authorization  to enter into this
Agreement  and  each and  every  Transaction  actually  entered  into  hereunder

               Seller  transacts  business and in any state where any  Mortgaged
               Property is located if the laws of such state  require  licensing
               or  qualification  in  order  to  conduct  business  of the  type
               conducted by the Seller.

                          (ii)  No  Litigation.   There  is  no  action,   suit,
               proceeding,  investigation,  or arbitration pending or threatened
               against  the  Seller  which may  result in any  material  adverse
               change  in  the  business,   operations,   financial   condition,
               properties, or assets of the Seller, or which may have an adverse
               effect  on the  validity  of  this  Agreement  or  the  Purchased
               Mortgage  Loans  Assets  or any  action  taken  or to be taken in
               connection  with  the  obligations  of  the  Seller  contemplated
               herein.

                         (iii) No  Broker.  The  Seller  has not dealt  with any
               broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for the
               Buyer,  who may be entitled to any commission or  compensation in
               connection with the sale of Purchased  Mortgage Loans pursuant to
               this  Agreement;  provided,  that if Seller  has  dealt  with any
               broker, investment banker, agent, or other person, except for the
               Buyer,  who may be entitled to any commission or  compensation in
               connection with the sale of Purchased  Mortgage Loans pursuant to
               this Agreement,  such commission or compensation  shall have been
               paid in full by Seller.

                          (iv)  Good  Title to  Collateral.  Purchased  Mortgage
               Loans  shall  be free  and  clear  of any  lien,  encumbrance  or
               impediment to transfer,  and the Seller  represents  and warrants
               the  foregoing to the Buyer and  represents  and warrants that it
               has  good,  valid  and  marketable  title  or  right  to sell and
               transfer such Purchased  Mortgage  Loans to the Buyer;  provided,
               however,  that the  existence  of  repurchase  rights in favor of
               third parties to repurchase  Purchased Mortgage Loans from Seller
               pursuant to  repurchase  agreements  between  Seller as buyer and
               such third parties as seller will not violate Seller's warranties
               and representations.

                           (v) Delivery of Mortgage File. The Mortgage Note, the
               Mortgage,  the  Assignment  of Mortgage  and any other  documents
               required to be delivered  under this  Agreement or the  Custodial
               Agreement  for the  Mortgage  Loans  have been  delivered  to the
               Custodian.  The  Seller or its  designee  is in  possession  of a
               complete,  true  and  accurate  Mortgage  File,  except  for such
               documents  the  originals  of which  have been  delivered  to the
               Custodian.

                          (vi) Selection  Process.  The Purchased Mortgage Loans
               were selected from among the  outstanding  mortgage  loans in the
               Seller's portfolio as to which the representations and warranties
               set forth in this Agreement  could be made and such selection was
               not made in a manner so as to affect  adversely  the interests of
               the Buyer.

                         (vii)  Additional  Representations  and  Warranties  By
               Insured  Depository  Institutions.   If  Seller  is  an  "insured
               depository  institution"  as that  term  is  defined  in  Section
               1813(a) of Title 12 of the United States Code, as amended, Seller
               makes the following additional representations and warranties:

                             (A)  This   Agreement   between  Buyer  and  Seller
                      conforms to all applicable  statutory  requirements.  This
                      Agreement  is  (1)  executed  contemporaneously  with  the
                      agreement  reached by Buyer and Seller,  (2) approved by a
                      specific  corporate or banking  association  resolution by
                      the Seller's  board of directors,  which approval shall be
                      reflected   in  the  minutes  of  said   board,   and  (3)
                      continuously,  from the time of its execution, an official
                      record of the Seller. A copy of such resolution, certified
                      by a vice  president or higher  officer of Seller has been
                      provided to Buyer.

                             (B) Seller will  maintain a copy of this  Agreement
                      and each  Confirmation  in its official  books and records
                      and shall make same  available for Buyer's  inspection and
                      copying on one Business Day's notice.

                             (C)  The  aggregate   amount  of  the  Transactions
                      outstanding  as of any date between Buyer and Seller shall
                      not exceed any restrictions or limitations  imposed by the
                      board of directors of Seller.

               (c) The Buyer  represents  and  warrants to the Seller that as of
the Repurchase  Date for the  repurchase of any Purchased  Mortgage Loans by the
Seller from the Buyer and as of the date of this  Agreement and any  Transaction
hereunder and at all times while this Agreement and any  Transaction  thereunder
is in full force and effect:

                           (i)  Organization.   The  Buyer  is  duly  organized,
                validly  existing  and in  good  standing  under  the  laws  and
                regulations of the state of Buyer's organization;

                          (ii) No  Broker.  The  Buyer  has not  dealt  with any
               broker,  investment  banker,  agent,  or other  person  who, as a
               result of Buyer's actions, is entitled to receive from Seller any
               commission  or  compensation  in  connection  with  the  sale  of
               Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement; and




                                       15

                         (iii) No Impairment.  Buyer shall not, without Seller's
               prior consent,  take, or cause to occur, any action which has any
               material  and  adverse  impact  on the  value  of  any  Purchased
               Mortgage Loan to Seller, including, without limitation, acts such
               as altering,  waiving or releasing any  obligations  of any party
               obligated on any Purchase  Mortgage  Loan, and the placing of any
               lien upon,  or  transferring  in interest to any third person in,
               any of the Purchased  Mortgage  Loans which lien or interest will
               remain in effect on the Repurchase Date.

               (d) The Seller  represents  and  warrants  to the Buyer that each
Mortgage  Loan  sold  hereunder  and  each  pool  of  Mortgage  Loans  sold in a
Transaction  hereunder,   as  of  the  related  Purchase  Date  conform  to  the
representations  and warranties set forth in Exhibit V attached  hereto and such
additional representations and warranties provided in the Confirmation,  if any,
and  that  each  Mortgage  Loan  delivered  hereunder  as  Additional  Loans  or
Substituted  Mortgage  Loans,  as of the date of such delivery,  conforms to the
representations   and   warranties  set  forth  in  Exhibit  V  hereto  and  the
Confirmation,  if any; provided, however, that any breach of the representations
and  warranties  set forth in Exhibit V shall not constitute an Event of Default
if Seller (i) substitutes  another  mortgage loan pursuant to Section 9(a) above
for any Purchased Mortgage Loan as to which the  representations  and warranties
of Exhibit V were breached, or (ii) repurchases such Mortgage Loan. Buyer may in
its sole discretion waive any of the representations and warranties set forth in
Exhibit V attached hereto;  provided,  that such waiver must be set forth in the
related  Confirmation.  It is understood and agreed that the representations and
warranties  set forth in Exhibit V hereto and the  Confirmation,  if any,  shall
survive  delivery  of the  respective  Mortgage  File to Buyer  or its  designee
(including the Custodian).  With respect to  representation  and warranty (o) in
Exhibit V, the percentage of Mortgage Loans with LTVs in excess of 85% without a
PMI  policy  shall be  determined  by Buyer  on the  last  Business  Day of each
calendar  month.  In the event a breach of such  representation  and warranty is
determined to exist,  Buyer shall give notice thereof to Seller and Seller shall
have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice to cure such breach.

               (e) On the Purchase  Date for any  Transaction,  Buyer and Seller
shall each be deemed to have made all the foregoing representations with respect
to itself as of such Purchase Date.

        11.    NEGATIVE COVENANTS.  (a) On and as of the date of this
Agreement and each Purchase Date and until this Agreement is no
longer in force with respect to any Transaction, the Seller
covenants that it will not:

                           (i)  take  any  action   which   would   directly  or
               indirectly impair or adversely affect the Buyer's title to or the
               value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans;

                           (ii) pledge,  assign,  convey, grant, bargain,  sell,
                set over,  deliver or  otherwise  transfer  any  interest in the
                Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  to any  person  not a party  to this
                Agreement nor will the Seller create, incur or permit to exist



                                       16


<PAGE>

                any  lien,  encumbrance  or  security  interest  in  or  on  the
                Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  except as  described in Section 6 of
                this Agreement;

                         (iii) without  Buyer's prior consent,  Seller and those
               acting  on behalf of Seller  shall  not,  except in the  ordinary
               course  of  servicing,  amend or  modify,  or  waive  any term or
               condition  of, or settle or  compromise  any claim in respect of,
               any item of the Purchased Mortgage Loans or any related rights.

               (b) On and as of the date of this  Agreement  and  each  Purchase
Date and  until  this  Agreement  is no  longer  in force  with  respect  to any
Transaction,  the Buyer  covenants  that it will not take any action which would
directly or indirectly violate its  representations  and warranties set forth in
Section 10(c) above.

        12.    AFFIRMATIVE COVENANTS.

               (a)    Affirmative covenants of the Seller:

                           (i) Seller  covenants  that it will  promptly  notify
               Buyer of any material  adverse change in its business  operations
               and/or financial condition,  provided,  however,  that nothing in
               this Section 12 shall relieve Seller of its obligations  pursuant
               to Section  10.(b)(iv)  or pursuant to any other  Section of this
               Agreement.

                          (ii) Seller  shall  provide  Buyer with copies of such
               documentation  as Buyer may  reasonably  request  evidencing  the
               truthfulness  of the  representations  of  Seller  set  forth  in
               Section 10.

                         (iii) Seller shall, at Buyer's request, take all action
               necessary  to  ensure  that  Buyer  will  have a  first  priority
               security  interest in the Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,  including,
               among  other  things,  using  its  best  efforts  to  obtain  the
               Servicer's  signature (if the Servicer's  signature is necessary)
               and file such UCC financing  statements  as Buyer may  reasonably
               request.

                          (iv) Seller  covenants that it will not create,  incur
               or permit to exist any lien,  encumbrance or security interest in
               or on any of the  Collateral  without the prior  express  written
               consent of Buyer.

                           (v)  Seller  shall  notify  Buyer  immediately  after
               obtaining  actual  knowledge  thereof,  if any event has occurred
               that  constitutes  an Event of Default  with respect to Seller or
               any  event  that with the  giving of notice or lapse of time,  or
               both, would become an Event of Default with respect to Seller.

                          (vi) Seller warrants and will defend the right,  title
               and  interest  of  Buyer  in and to all  Collateral  against  all
               adverse claims and demands.

                         (vii)  Seller  shall  immediately  notify  Buyer of any
               litigation  or  proceeding  commenced  against it which  may,  if
               adversely  determined,  have a  material  adverse  affect  on the
               business of the Seller.

                        (viii) Seller shall  repurchase or cause the  repurchase
               of any Mortgage Loan within 180 days of the initial Purchase Date
               of such  Mortgage  Loan;  provided,  however,  that the  Seller's
               obligation  to repurchase  any  Purchased  Mortgage Loan shall be
               subject to the  continued  accuracy  of the  representations  and
               warranties  of the  Buyer  set forth in  Section  10 hereof  with
               respect to such Purchased  Mortgage Loan and the  satisfaction of
               all other conditions precedent set forth in this Agreement.

               (b)  Affirmative  covenants  of the  Buyer:  Buyer will take such
actions  as are  reasonably  required  to assure  that its  representations  and
warranties  in this  Agreement  remain true and correct  during the term of this
Agreement.

        13.    EVENTS OF DEFAULT.

               (a) If any of the  following  events (each an "Event of Default")

                          (iv) any representation  made by Seller or Buyer shall

               any of its Affiliates,  including suspension as an issuer, lender
               or  seller/servicer  of mortgage  loans,  which  suspension has a
               material  adverse effect on the ordinary  business  operations of
               Seller or Seller's  Affiliate,  and which continues for more than
               24 hours;

               business or assets  (other  than sales of  mortgage  loans in the
               ordinary  course of  Seller's  business),  unless  such change in
               management  or merger is  approved by Buyer;  provided,  however,
               that  a  breach  of  this  clause  (vii)  may,  at  Buyer's  sole

                        (viii) Buyer, in its respective good faith judgment, has
               reasonable  cause to  believe  that  there  has  been a  material
               adverse  change  in  the  business,  operations,   organizational
               structure or financial condition of the Seller or that the Seller

               for  borrowed  money  of at least  $250,000  or pay  interest  or
               premium thereon when due (whether by scheduled maturity, required
               payment,  acceleration,  demand or  otherwise),  or shall fail to
               perform  any  of  its  obligations  with  respect  to  repurchase

               States of  America  for the  payment  of money in an amount of at
               least  $100,000  is rendered  against  the  Seller,  and the same
               remains  undischarged  or unpaid  for a period of sixty (60) days
               during  which  execution  of  such  judgment  is not  effectively
               stayed;

                          (xi)  a  court  or  other  forum  recharacterizes  the
               Transactions   hereunder   as  loans  and  as  security  for  the
               performance  by Seller of all of  Seller's  obligations  to Buyer
               under this  Agreement,  and this  Agreement  shall for any reason
               cease to create a valid,  first priority security interest in any
               of the Purchased  Mortgage Loans  purported to be covered hereby;
               or

                         (xii) Seller fails to provide  quarterly  unaudited and
               annual  audited  financial  statements  within  60 and 120  days,
               respectively,  after the date on which such period ends, or falls
               to deliver in a timely manner such financial or other information
               as Buyer may from time to time reasonably request.

                (b) In making a determination  as to whether an Event of Default
has  occurred,  the Buyer  shall be  entitled  to rely on reports  published  or
broadcast by media sources believed



                                       19

by the Buyer to be generally  reliable and on information  provided to it by any
other sources believed by it to be generally  reliable,  provided that the Buyer
reasonably  and in good faith  believes such  information to be accurate and has
taken such steps as may be reasonable in the  circumstances to attempt to verify
such information; provided, however, that Buyer shall have used its best effects
to obtain correct information from Seller and Buyer shall have been unable to do
so within the Reasonable Correction Period.

        14.    REMEDIES.

               (a) If an Event of Default occurs with respect to the Seller, the
following rights and remedies are available to the Buyer:

                           (i) At the option of the Buyer,  exercised by written
               notice to the Seller  (which  option shall be deemed to have been
               exercised,  even if no  notice  is  given,  immediately  upon the
               occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each
               Transaction  hereunder  shall be  deemed  immediately  to  occur.
               Notwithstanding   that  the  Repurchase   Date  shall  be  deemed
               immediately to have occurred upon the exercise or deemed exercise
               of such  option by the Buyer,  for  purposes of  determining  the
               Repurchase Price, the Repurchase Date shall be the date specified
               in the Confirmation for such Transaction.

                    (ii) If the Buyer  exercises or is deemed to have  exercised
                the option referred to in subsection (a)(i) of this Section,

                             (A)   the   Seller's   obligations   hereunder   to
                      repurchase   all   Purchased   Mortgage   Loans   in  such
                      Transactions  shall thereupon  become  immediately due and
                      payable,

                             (B) to the extent  permitted by applicable law, the
                      Pricing  Rate  shall  be [certain confidential information
                      has been omitted and  filed separately with the Commission
                      pursuant to a Request for Confidential Treatment], and

                             (C)  all  Income  actually  received  by the  Buyer
                      pursuant  to Section 5 shall be  applied to the  aggregate
                      unpaid Repurchase Price owed by the Seller.

                         (iii)  After one  Business  Day's  notice to the Seller
               (which notice may be given concurrently with any notice to Seller
               of Buyer's  declaration of an Event of Default,  and which notice
               may be the notice given under subsection (a)(i) of this Section),
               the Buyer may (A) immediately  sell,  without notice or demand of
               any kind, at a public or private sale and at such price or prices
               as  the  Buyer  may  reasonably  deem  satisfactory  any  or  all
               Purchased  Mortgage  Loans subject to a Transaction  hereunder or
               (B) in its sole  discretion  elect,  in lieu of selling  all or a
               portion  of such  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,  to give the Seller
               credit for such  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans in an amount equal to
               the Market  Value of the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  against the
               aggregate unpaid  Repurchase Price and



                                       20


<PAGE>
<PAGE>




                any   other   amounts  owing  by  the   Seller  hereunder.   The
                proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Mortgage Loans shall be
                applied first to the costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in
                connection with the Seller's default;  second to actual damages,
                including  but not  limited  to costs of  cover  and/or  related
                hedging transactions;  third to the Repurchase Price; and fourth
                to any other  outstanding  obligation of the Seller to the Buyer
                or its Affiliates.

                          (iv) Buyer or an Affiliate  may deliver the  Purchased
               Mortgage Loans which are subject to a purchase commitment by FNMA
               or another  purchaser  to FNMA or such  purchaser in exchange for
               securities  or  cash,  which  securities  or cash  shall  then be
               treated  as  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans,  and the  Seller  hereby
               irrevocably appoints the Buyer to act as its attorney-in-fact and
               agent to take  such  action  upon the  occurrence  of an Event of
               Default as may be necessary to obtain such securities or cash.

                           (v) The parties recognize that it may not be possible
               to  purchase  or sell all of the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans on a
               particular  Business  Day,  or in a  transaction  with  the  same
               purchaser,  or in the same  manner  because  the  market for such
               Purchased Mortgage Loans may not be liquid. In view of the nature
               of  the  Purchased   Mortgage  Loans,   the  parties  agree  that
               liquidation of a Transaction or the underlying Purchased Mortgage
               Loans does not require a public  purchase or sale and that a good
               faith private  purchase or sale shall be deemed to have been made
               in a commercially reasonable manner; provided,  however, that the
               Buyer  shall give the  Seller at least one (1) day prior  written
               notice of any public or private  sale,  which notice may be given
               concurrently with any notice to Seller of Buyer's  declaration of
               an Event of Default.  Accordingly,  Buyer may elect,  in its sole
               discretion,  the time and  manner of  liquidating  any  Purchased
               Mortgage  Loan and nothing  contained  herein  shall (A) obligate
               Buyer to liquidate any Purchased  Mortgage Loan on the occurrence
               of an Event of Default or to  liquidate  all  Purchased  Mortgage
               Loans  in the same  manner  or on the  same  Business  Day or (B)
               constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.  However, in
               recognition  of the  parties'  agreement  that  the  Transactions
               hereunder  have  been  entered  into in  consideration  of and in
               reliance upon the fact that all Transactions hereunder constitute
               a single  business  and  contractual  relationship  and that each
               Transaction has been entered into in  consideration  of the other
               Transactions,  the parties further agree that Buyer shall use its
               best efforts to liquidate  all  Transactions  hereunder  upon the
               occurrence  of an Event of Default  as  quickly  as is  prudently
               possible in the reasonable judgment of Buyer.

                          (vi) Buyer  shall,  without  regard to the adequacy of
               the security for the Seller's  obligations  under this Agreement,
               be entitled to the  appointment of a receiver by any court having
               jurisdiction,  without notice, to take possession of and protect,
               collect,  manage,  liquidate,  and  sell  the  Collateral  or any
               portion thereof, and collect the payments due with respect to the
               Collateral or any portion 



                                       21

                thereof.  Seller  shall pay all costs and  expenses  incurred by
                Buyer in connection  with the appointment and activities of such
                receiver.

                         (vii) Seller agrees that Buyer may obtain an injunction
               or an order of specific  performance  to compel Seller to fulfill
               its  obligations  as set forth in Section 25, if Seller  fails or
               refuses to perform its obligations as set forth therein.

                        (viii)  Seller  shall be  liable  to  Buyer  for (A) the
               amount  of all  expenses,  including  reasonable  legal  or other
               expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence
               of an  Event  of  Default,  and (B)  actual  damages,  including,
               without  limitation,  all reasonable costs incurred in connection
               with hedging or covering transactions.

                          (ix) Buyer  shall  have all the  rights  and  remedies
               provided herein,  provided by applicable federal, state, foreign,
               and local laws  (including,  without  limitation,  the rights and
               remedies of a secured party under the Uniform  Commercial Code of
               the State of New York, to the extent that the Uniform  Commercial
               Code is  applicable,  and the right to offset any mutual debt and
               claim),  in equity,  and under any other agreement  between Buyer
               and Seller.

                           (x) Buyer may  exercise  one or more of the  remedies
               available to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of
               Default and, except to the extent provided in subsections (a)(i),
               (iii)  or (v) of this  Section,  at any time  thereafter  without
               notice to  Seller.  All rights and  remedies  arising  under this
               Agreement as amended from  time-to-time  hereunder are cumulative
               and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer may
               have.

                          (xi) In addition to its rights hereunder,  Buyer shall
               have the right to proceed  against any assets of Seller which may
               be in the  possession of Buyer,  its Affiliates or their designee
               (including the Custodian),  including the right to liquidate such
               assets and to set off the proceeds  against monies owed by Seller
               to Buyer pursuant to this Agreement.  Buyer may set off cash, the
               proceeds of the liquidation of the Purchased  Mortgage Loans, any
               Collateral or its proceeds,  and all sums or obligations  owed by
               Buyer  or its  Affiliates  to  Seller  against  all  of  Seller's
               obligations  to Buyer,  whether  under  this  Agreement,  under a
               Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or
               otherwise,  whether or not such obligations are then due, without
               prejudice to Buyer's right to recover any  deficiency.  Any cash,
               proceeds,  or  property  in excess of any  amounts  due, or which
               Buyer reasonably believes may become due, to it from Seller shall
               be returned to Seller after  satisfaction  of all  obligations of
               Seller to Buyer.

                         (xii)  Buyer  may  enforce  its  rights  and   remedies
               hereunder  without prior judicial process or hearing,  and Seller
               hereby  expressly waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have
               to require  Buyer to  enforce  its  rights by  judicial  process.
               Seller  also  waives any  defense  Seller  might  otherwise  have
               arising from



                                       22


<PAGE>
<PAGE>



                the use of nonjudicial  process,  enforcement and sale of all or
                any  portion of the  Collateral,  or from any other  election of
                remedies.   Seller  recognizes  that  nonjudicial  remedies  are
                consistent  with the  usages of the  trade,  are  responsive  to
                commercial  necessity  and are the  result of a bargain at arm's
                length.

               (b) If an Event of Default  occurs  with  respect  to Buyer,  the
following rights and remedies are available to the Seller:

                           (i) Upon  tender  by the  Seller  of  payment  of the
               aggregate Repurchase Price for all such Transactions, the Buyer's
               right, title and interest in all Purchased Mortgage Loans subject
               to such Transactions  shall be deemed  transferred to the Seller,
               and the Buyer shall deliver or cause to be  transferred  all such
               Purchased Mortgage Loans to the Seller or its designee at Buyer's
               expense.

                          (ii) If the Seller exercises the option referred to in
               subsection  (b)(i) of this Section and the Buyer fails to deliver
               or cause to be  delivered  the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans to the
               Seller or its  designee,  after one Business  Day's notice to the
               Buyer,  the Seller may (A) purchase  Mortgage Loans or securities
               ("Replacement  Assets")  that  are as  similar  as is  reasonably
               practicable in characteristics, outstanding principal amounts (as
               a pool) and interest  rate to any Purchased  Mortgage  Loans that
               are not  delivered  by the Buyer to the Seller or its designee as
               required  hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion  elect, in lieu
               of purchasing  Replacement Assets, to be deemed to have purchased
               Replacement Assets at a price therefor on such date, equal to the
               Market Value of the Purchased Mortgage Loans.

                         (iii) The Buyer  shall be liable to the Seller (A) with
               respect  to  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans  (other  than  Additional
               Loans),  for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the
               Seller for Replacement  Assets therefor over the Repurchase Price
               for such Purchased Mortgage Loans, (B) with respect to Additional
               Loans,  for the price paid (or deemed paid) by the Seller for the
               Replacement   Assets  therefor,   and  (C)  for  actual  damages,
               including,  without limitation,  all costs incurred in connection
               with hedging or covering  transactions.  In  addition,  the Buyer
               shall be liable to the  Seller  for  interest  on such  remaining
               liability with respect to each such purchase (or deemed purchase)
               of  Replacement  Assets from the date of such purchase (or deemed
               purchase) until paid in full by Buyer.  Such interest shall be at
               the greater of the Pricing Rate or the Prime Rate.

               15. RECORDING OF COMMUNICATIONS.  Buyer has represented to Seller
that Buyer is required by  applicable  law or  regulations  to from time to time
make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees
and those of the other party with respect to  Transactions.  Accordingly,  Buyer
and Seller  shall have the right (but not the  obligation)  from time to time to
make or cause to be made tape recordings of communications between its employees
and those of the other  party  with  respect to  Transactions.  Buyer and



                                       23


<PAGE>
<PAGE>



Seller  consent  to the  admissibility  of such tape  recordings  in any  court,
arbitration,  or other proceedings.  The parties agree that a duly authenticated
transcript of such a tape recording shall be deemed to be a writing conclusively
evidencing the parties' agreement.

        16.  SINGLE  AGREEMENT.  Buyer and  Seller  acknowledge  that,  and have
entered hereunto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration
of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions  hereunder  constitute a
single business and contractual relationship and that each has been entered into
in  consideration  of the  other  Transactions.  Accordingly,  each of Buyer and
Seller  agrees  (i) to  perform  all of  its  obligations  in  respect  of  each
Transaction  hereunder,  and  that a  default  in the  performance  of any  such
obligations  shall  constitute  a default by it in  respect of all  Transactions
hereunder,  (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply
property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to
them in respect of any other  Transactions  hereunder  and (iii) that  payments,
deliveries,  and  other  transfers  made by  either  of them in  respect  of any
Transaction  shall be deemed to have been  made in  consideration  of  payments,
deliveries,  and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder,
and the obligations to make any such payments,  deliveries,  and other transfers
may be applied against each other and netted.

        17.  NOTICES  AND  OTHER  COMMUNICATIONS.   Unless  another  address  is
specified in writing by the respective party to whom any written notice or other
communication is to be given hereunder, all such notices or communications shall
be in writing or confirmed in writing and delivered at the respective  addresses
set forth in the Confirmation.  Any notices or other communications permitted or
required hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed  conclusively to have
been given if (a)  personally  delivered,  (b) mailed by registered or certified
mail, postage prepaid, and return receipt requested, (c) sent by express courier
delivery service and received by the party to whom it is sent or (d) transmitted
by telex or facsimile transmission (or any other type of electronic transmission
agreed upon by the  parties) and  confirmed by a writing  given by means of (a),
(b) or (c) but, if  transmitted  by facsimile,  shall be deemed  received on the
date of the  confirmation  of the  receipt by the  receiving  party's  facsimile
machine.

        18. ENTIRE  AGREEMENT;  SEVERABILITY.  This Agreement  together with the
applicable  Confirmation  and the  Custodial  Agreement  constitutes  the entire
understanding  between  Buyer and Seller with  respect to the subject  matter it
covers  and  shall  supersede  any  existing   agreements  between  the  parties
containing  general terms and conditions for repurchase  transactions  involving
Purchased  Mortgage  Loans.  By acceptance of this  Agreement,  Buyer and Seller
acknowledge  that they have not made, and are not relying upon, any  statements,
representations,  promises or undertakings not contained in this Agreement. Each
provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from
any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

        19.  NON-ASSIGNABILITY.  The rights and obligations of the parties under
this Agreement and under any  Transaction  shall not be assigned by either party
without the prior written consent of the other party;  provided,  however,  that
Nomura may assign its rights and obligations  under


                                       24


<PAGE>
<PAGE>



this Agreement  and/or under any  Transaction to an Affiliate  without the prior
written consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and
any  Transactions  shall be binding  upon and shall  inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective  successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement
express or  implied,  shall give to any  person,  other than the parties to this
Agreement and their successors hereunder,  any benefit or any legal or equitable
right, power, remedy or claim under this Agreement.

         20. TERMINABILITY. This Agreement shall be terminated three hundred and
sixty  four  (364)  days  following  the  date  hereof,   and  any   outstanding
Transactions shall become due on such date. Notwithstanding any such termination
or the occurrence of an Event of Default, all of the representations, warranties
and covenants hereunder shall continue and survive.

         21.  GOVERNING  LAW. THIS  AGREEMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE INTERNAL
LAWS OF THE  STATE OF NEW YORK  WITHOUT  GIVING  EFFECT TO THE  CONFLICT  OF LAW
PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

        22. CONSENT TO JURISDICTION  AND  ARBITRATION.  The parties  irrevocably
agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the United States District Court
for the  Southern  District  of New York,  the parties  irrevocably  waiving any
objection  thereto and waive all rights to a trial by jury.  If, for any reason,
federal  jurisdiction is not available,  and only if federal jurisdiction is not
available,  the parties irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction
of the Supreme Court of the State of New York, the parties  irrevocably  waiving
any objection  thereto and waive all rights to a trial by jury.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing two sentences,  at either  party's sole option  exercisable at any
time not later  than  thirty  (30) days after an action or  proceeding  has been
commenced,  the  parties  agree  that the  matter  may be  submitted  to binding
arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of the American  Arbitration
Association  then in effect in the State of New York and judgment upon any award
rendered  by the  arbitrator  may be  entered in any court  having  jurisdiction
thereof within the City, County and State of New York; provided,  however,  that
the  arbitrator  shall not  amend,  supplement,  or reform  in any  regard  this
Agreement or the terms of any  Confirmation,  the rights or  obligations  of any
party hereunder or thereunder,  or the enforceability of any of the terms hereof
or thereof.  Any arbitration  shall be conducted before a single  arbitrator who
shall be reasonably  familiar  with  repurchase  transactions  and the secondary
mortgage market in the City, County, and State of New York.

        23. NO  WAIVERS,  ETC.  No  express  or  implied  waiver of any Event of
Default by either party shall  constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default
and no exercise of any remedy  hereunder by any party shall  constitute a waiver
of its right to exercise any other remedy  hereunder.  No modification or waiver
of any  provision of this  Agreement  and no consent by any party to a departure
herefrom  shall be effective  unless and until such shall be in writing and duly
executed by both of the parties hereto. Any such waiver or modification shall be
effective only in the specific  instance and for the specific  purpose for which
it was given.

        24.  INTENT.  The parties  understand and intend that this Agreement and
each Transaction  hereunder  constitute a "securities  contract" as that term is
defined  in Section  741



                                       25

of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended;  provided,  however,  that if
the Seller is an  "insured  depository  institution"  as that term is defined in
Section  1813(a) of Title 12 of the United States Code, as amended,  the parties
understand  and  intend  that  this  Agreement  and each  Transaction  hereunder
constitute a "qualified  financial  contract" as that term is defined in Section
1821 of Title 12 of the United States Code, as amended.

        25.    SERVICING.

               (a) Seller  covenants  to maintain or cause the  servicing of the
Mortgage Loans to be maintained in conformity with accepted servicing  practices
in the  industry  and in a manner at least  equal in  quality  to the  servicing
Seller  provides to mortgage  loans which it owns.  The  Servicer  (or Seller if
acting as Servicer)  may retain  record title of the  Purchased  Mortgage  Loans
solely  for the  purpose of  servicing  or  supervising  the  servicing  of such
Purchased  Mortgage Loans.  All beneficial  ownership in the Purchased  Mortgage
Loans shall remain in the Buyer while any such  Purchased  Mortgage Loan has not
been repurchased hereunder.  All servicing fees and compensation with respect to
the  servicing  of  the  Mortgage  Loans  shall  be  customary,  reasonable  and
consistent with industry practice.

               (b) If the Mortgage Loans are serviced by the Seller,  (i) Seller
agrees that,  while any such  Purchased  Mortgage Loan has not been  repurchased
hereunder,  Buyer  is the  owner of all  servicing  records,  including  but not
limited to any and all servicing  agreements,  files,  documents,  records, data
bases,  computer tapes,  copies of computer tapes, proof of insurance  coverage,
insurance policies,  appraisals,  other closing  documentation,  payment history
records,  and any other  records  relating to or  evidencing  the  servicing  of
Purchased Mortgage Loans (the "Servicing  Records"),  and (ii) Seller grants the
Buyer a security  interest  in all  servicing  fees and rights  relating  to the
Mortgage Loans and all Servicing  Records to secure the obligation of the Seller
or its  designee  to  service  in  conformity  with this  Section  and any other
obligation  of Seller to Buyer.  Seller  covenants to safeguard  such  Servicing
Records and to deliver  them  promptly to Buyer or its designee  (including  the
Custodian) at Buyer's request.

               (c) If the Mortgage  Loans are serviced by a third party servicer
(such third party servicer, the "Servicer"), the Seller (i) shall provide a copy
of the servicing agreement to Buyer (the "Servicing Agreement"); and (ii) hereby
irrevocably  assigns to the Buyer and Buyer's  successors and assigns all right,
title, interest and the benefits of the Servicing Agreements with respect to the
Mortgage Loans.

               (d) The Servicer  (or Seller if acting as Servicer)  shall use of
one or more of the following  types of accounts,  in each case  maintained at an
institution that is independent of and unaffiliated with Seller,  into which all
sums collected in respect of Mortgage  Loans shall be deposited and  maintained:
(i) a trust  account or  accounts  maintained  for the benefit of Buyer with the
trust  department  of a  federally  chartered  depository  institution  or trust
company  acting in its  fiduciary  capacity or (ii) a trust  account or accounts
maintained  for the  benefit  of Buyer  with  the  trust  department  of a state
chartered  depository  institution  or trust  company  acting  in its  fiduciary
capacity and subject to regulations regarding fiduciary funds on deposit therein
substantially similar to 12 CFR ss. 9.10(b), or (iii) an account or accounts (a)
maintained with a



                                       26


<PAGE>
<PAGE>




depository  institution  the debt  obligations  of which are rated by Standard &
Poor's Ratings Group in one of its two highest rating  categories at the time of
any deposit therein or (b) the deposits of which are insured by the FDIC, to the
limits  established  by the  FDIC,  and the  uninsured  deposits  in  which  are
otherwise secured such that, as evidenced by an opinion of counsel,  Buyer has a
claim with  respect to the funds in such account or a perfected  first  security
interest  against any collateral  securing such funds that is superior to claims
of any other  depositor or creditors of the  depository  institution  with which
such account is maintained.

               (e) Seller  shall  provide to Buyer a letter from the Servicer to
the effect that upon the occurrence of an Event of Default,  Buyer may terminate
the Servicing Agreement and transfer such servicing to its designee,  at no cost
or expense  to Buyer,  it being  agreed  that  Seller  will pay any and all fees
required to terminate the Servicing  Agreement and to effectuate the transfer of
Servicing to Buyer.

        26.  DISCLOSURE  RELATING TO CERTAIN  FEDERAL  PROTECTIONS.  The parties
acknowledge  that they have been  advised  that in the case of  Transactions  in
which one of the parties is an "insured depository  institution" as that term is
defined in Section  1831(a) of Title 12 of the United  States Code,  as amended,
funds held by the financial  institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are
not a deposit and  therefore  are not insured by the Federal  Deposit  Insurance
Corporation,  the Savings Association Insurance Fund or the Bank Insurance Fund,
as applicable.

         27. NETTING. If Buyer and Seller are "financial institutions" as now or
hereinafter  defined  in  Section  4402 of Title 12 of the  United  States  Code
("Section 4402") and any rules or regulations promulgated thereunder:

               (a) All  amounts  to be paid or  advanced  by one  party to or on
behalf of the other under this Agreement or any  Transaction  hereunder shall be
deemed to be  "payment  obligations"  and all  amounts to be  received  by or on
behalf of one party  from the other  under  this  Agreement  or any  Transaction
hereunder  shall be deemed to be  "payment  entitlements"  within the meaning of
Section 4402, and this Agreement  shall be deemed to be a "netting  contract" as
defined in Section 4402.

               (b) The payment  obligations and the payment  entitlements of the
parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement and any Transaction hereunder shall be
netted as follows. In the event that either party (the "Defaulting Party") shall
fail to honor any payment  obligation  under this  Agreement or any  Transaction
hereunder,  the other  party (the  "Nondefaulting  Party")  shall be entitled to
reduce the amount of any  payment to be made by the  Nondefaulting  Party to the
Defaulting  Party by the amount of the payment  obligation  that the  Defaulting
Party failed to honor.

        28. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO INITIAL TRANSACTION. As conditions precedent
to the initial Transaction hereunder, Buyer shall have received on or before the
day of such Transaction the following, in form and substance satisfactory to the
Buyer and duly executed by Seller:

               (a)    This Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.



                                       27

               (b) Evidence  that all other  actions  necessary  or, in the sole
discretion of Buyer exercised  reasonably,  desirable to perfect and protect the
security  interests  and liens  created  by  Section 6 hereof  have been  taken,
including  without  limitation duly executed  Uniform  Commercial Code financing
statements on Form UCC-1 with respect to the Collateral.

               (c) A  certified  copy  of  the  Seller's  corporate  resolutions
approving   this  Agreement  and  the  Custodial   Agreement  and   transactions
contemplated thereunder,  and all documents evidencing other necessary corporate
action or  governmental  approvals  as may be required in  connection  with this
Agreement and the Custodial Agreement.

               (d)  A  certificate  of  the  Seller's  Corporate   Secretary  or
Assistant  Secretary  certifying  the names,  true  signatures and titles of the
Seller's  officers  duly  authorized to initiate  Transactions  and to sign this
Agreement  and the Custodial  Agreement and the other  documents to be delivered
thereunder.

               (e) A favorable  opinion of the  Seller's  outside  counsel as to
such matters as the Buyer may reasonably request.

               (f)    The documents set forth in Exhibit III and
Exhibit IV hereto.

        29.  CONFIDENTIALITY.  This  Agreement  and its terms and  contents  are
proprietary to Buyer and shall be held by Seller in strict  confidence and shall
not be disclosed to any third party  without the consent of Buyer except for (i)
disclosure to your  attorneys or  accountants,  provided that such attorneys and
accountants  likewise agree to be bound by this covenant of  confidentiality  or
(ii) disclosure  required by law, rule,  regulation or order of a court or other
regulatory body.

        30.    MISCELLANEOUS.

               (a)  Time  is  of  the  essence  under  this  agreement  and  all
Transactions  and all references to a time shall mean New York time in effect on
the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.

               (b) Buyer shall be authorized to accept orders and take any other
action affecting any accounts of the Seller in response to instructions given in
writing  or orally  by  telephone  or  otherwise  by any  person  with  apparent
authority to act on behalf of the Seller,  and the Seller shall indemnify Buyer,
defend,  and hold  Buyer  harmless  from and  against  any and all  liabilities,
losses,  damages,  costs,  and  expenses  of  any  nature  arising  out of or in
connection  with any  action  taken by Buyer in  response  to such  instructions
received or reasonably believed to have been received from the Seller.

               (c) If there is any conflict  between the terms of this Agreement
or any  Transaction  entered into  hereunder and the Custodial  Agreement,  this
Agreement shall prevail.

               (d) If there is any conflict  between the terms of a Confirmation
or a  corrected  Confirmation  issued  by the  Buyer  and  this  Agreement,  the
Confirmation shall prevail.

               (e) This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which
so  executed  shall be deemed to be an  original,  but all of such  counterparts
shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.

               (f)  The  headings  in this  Agreement  are  for  convenience  of
reference only and shall not affect the  interpretation  or construction of this
Agreement.

               IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the parties have entered into this Agreement
as of the date set forth above.

        Re: Irrevocable Letter of Instructions to Master Servicer and Servicers

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We refer to a Master Repurchase  Agreement governing purchases and sales
of mortgage  loans dated as of  ___________________  (the  "Agreement")  between
NOMURA  ASSET  CAPITAL  CORPORATION  as  buyer  ("Buyer")  and the  undersigned,

to Buyer  those  mortgage  loans  identified  on the  schedule  attached  hereto
("Relevant  Mortgage  Loans")  which you are  servicing  for us  pursuant to our

        We hereby advise you that effective  immediately,  the Relevant Mortgage

at any time hereafter of any principal,  interest or other distributions payable
with respect to the Relevant  Mortgage Loans (less any related  servicing  fees)

                                    EXHIBIT V

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
                      REGARDING NON-CONFORMING RESIDENTIAL MORTGAGE LOANS

        Seller  represents and warrants to the Buyer that,  with respect to each
Non-Conforming Residential Mortgage Loan sold hereunder and with respect to each
pool  of  Non-Conforming  Residential  Mortgage  Loans  sold  in  a  Transaction
hereunder, as of the related Purchase Date:

         (a)  Mortgage  Loans as  Described.  The  information  set forth in the
Mortgage Loan Schedule is complete, true and correct;

         (b) Payments Current.  All payments required to be made under the terms
of the  mortgage  note  have  been  made and  credited  or are not more than one
payment past due;

        (c) No Outstanding Charges.  There are no defaults in complying with the
terms  of the  mortgage,  and all  taxes,  governmental  assessments,  insurance
premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents
which previously  became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has
been  established  in an  amount  sufficient  to pay for every  such item  which
remains  unpaid  and which  has been  assessed  but is not yet due and  payable.
Seller has not advanced funds, or induced,  solicited or knowingly  received any
advance of funds by a party other than the  mortgagor,  directly or  indirectly,
for the  payment of any amount  required  under the  Mortgage  Loan,  except for
interest  accruing from the date of the mortgage note or date of disbursement of
the Mortgage Loan proceeds,  whichever is greater,  to the day which precedes by
one month the due date of the first installment of principal and interest;

        (d)  Original  Terms  Unmodified.  Except  in  the  ordinary  course  of
servicing,  the terms of the mortgage note and mortgage have not been  impaired,
waived, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument which
has been recorded,  if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer and which has
been delivered to Buyer or its designee (including the Custodian). The substance
of any such waiver,  alteration or modification  has been approved by the issuer
of any  related  PMI Policy (as  defined  below) and the title  insurer,  to the
extent required by the policy,  and its terms are reflected on the Mortgage Loan
Schedule.  No  mortgagor  has been  released,  in whole  or in part,  except  in
connection  with an assumption  agreement  approved by the issuer of any related
PMI Policy (as defined below) and the title insurer,  to the extent  required by
the policy,  and which  assumption  agreement is included in the  Mortgage  File
delivered to Buyer or its designee  (including  the  Custodian) and the terms of
which are reflected in the Mortgage Loan Schedule;

        (e) No  Defenses.  The  Mortgage  Loan is not  subject  to any  right of
rescission,  set-off  counterclaim or defense,  including without limitation the
defense of usury,  nor will the  operation  of any of the terms of the  mortgage
note or the mortgage, or the exercise of any right thereunder, render either the
mortgage note or the mortgage unenforceable, in whole or in part in any material
respect, or subject to any right of rescission, set-off counterclaim or defense,

including  without  limitation  the  defense  of  usury,  and no such  right  of
rescission,  set-off  counterclaim  or defense has been  asserted  with  respect
thereto;

        (f) Insurance Policies in Effect. The fire and casualty insurance policy
(either in the form of the  original  policy,  an  original  binder or  original
certificate of insurance)  covering the mortgaged property (1) affords (and will
afford)  sufficient  insurance  against fire and such other risks as are usually
insured  against in the broad form of extended  coverage  insurance from time to
time  available,  as well as insurance  against  flood  hazards if the mortgaged
property is an area  identified by the Federal  Emergency  Management  Agency as
having  special  flood  hazards;  (2) is a standard  policy of insurance for the
locale where the mortgaged property is located, is in full force and effect, and
the amount of the insurance is in the amount of the full insurable  value of the
mortgaged property on a replacement cost basis, where applicable,  or the unpaid
balance of the Mortgage Loans,  whichever is less; (3) names (and will name) the
present  owner of the  mortgaged  property as the  insured;  and (4)  contains a
standard mortgagee loss payable clause in favor of Seller;

        (g) Compliance  with  Applicable  Laws. Any and all  requirements of any
federal,   state  or   local   law   including,   without   limitation,   usury,
truth-in-lending, real estate settlement procedures, consumer credit protection,
equal credit opportunity or disclosure laws applicable to the Mortgage Loan have
been complied with, and Seller shall maintain in its  possession,  available for
Buyer's  inspection,  and  shall  deliver  to Buyer  upon  demand,  evidence  of
compliance with all such requirements;

        (h) No  Satisfaction  of Mortgage.  The mortgage has not been satisfied,
canceled,  subordinated  or  rescinded,  in whole or in part,  and the mortgaged
property has not been  released  from the lien of the  mortgage,  in whole or in
part, nor has any  instrument  been executed that would effect any such release,
cancellation, subordination or rescission;

        (i) Location and Type of Mortgaged  Property.  The mortgaged property is
located in the state  identified in the Mortgage Loan Schedule and consists of a
parcel of real property with a detached single family residence erected thereon,
or a two-  to  four-family  dwelling,  or an  individual  condominium  unit in a
low-rise   condominium  project,  or  an  individual  unit  in  a  planned  unit
development  and no  residence  or dwelling  is a mobile home or a  manufactured
dwelling.  No portion of the mortgaged property is used for commercial  purposes
other than as to mixed-use properties which include one to four dwellings;

        (j)  Valid  First  Lien.  The  mortgage  is  a  valid,   subsisting  and
enforceable  first or  second  lien on the  mortgaged  property,  including  all
buildings  on the  mortgaged  property  and all  installations  and  mechanical,
electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning systems located in or annexed
to such buildings,  and all additions,  alterations and replacements made at any
time with respect to the foregoing. The lien of the mortgage is subject only to:

             (1)      the lien of current  real  property taxes  and assessments
                      not yet due and payable;

             (2)      covenants,  conditions  and  restrictions,  rights of way,
                      easements and other matters of the public record as of the
                      date  of   recording   acceptable   to  mortgage   lending
                      institutions generally and specifically referred to in the
                      lender's   title   insurance   policy   delivered  to  the
                      originator  of the Mortgage Loan and (i) referred to or to
                      otherwise   considered  in  the  appraisal  made  for  the
                      originator  of the  Mortgage  Loan  or (ii)  which  do not
                      adversely  affect  the  appraised  value of the  mortgaged
                      property set forth in such appraisal; and

             (3)      other  matters  to  which  like  properties  are  commonly
                      subject  which  do  not  materially   interfere  with  the
                      benefits  of the  security  intended to be provided by the
                      mortgage or the use, enjoyment,  value or marketability of
                      the related mortgaged property.

Any security  agreement,  chattel mortgage or equivalent document related to and
delivered in connection with the Mortgage Loan  establishes and creates a valid,
subsisting  and  enforceable  first or second lien and first or second  priority
security interest on the property described therein and Seller has full right to
pledge and assign the same to Buyer or its designee  (including the  Custodian).
The mortgaged  property was not, as of the date of  origination  of the Mortgage
Loan,  subject  to a  mortgage,  deed of trust,  deed to  secured  debt or other
security instrument creating a lien subordinate to the lien of the mortgage;

        (k) Validity of Mortgage  Documents.  The mortgage note and the mortgage
are genuine,  and each is the legal,  valid and binding  obligation of the maker
thereof  enforceable,  in accordance with its terms. All parties to the mortgage
note and the mortgage had legal  capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to
execute and deliver the mortgage  note and the  mortgage,  and the mortgage note
and the mortgage have been duly and properly executed by such parties;

        (l) Full  Disbursement  of Proceeds.  The proceeds of the Mortgage  Loan
have been  fully  disbursed  and there is no  requirement  for  future  advances
thereunder,  and any and all  requirements  as to  completion  of any on-site or
off-site  improvement and as to  disbursements of any escrow funds therefor have
been complied with. All costs,  fees and expenses  incurred in making or closing
the Mortgage Loan and the recording of the mortgage were paid, and the mortgagor
is not entitled to any refund of any amounts paid or due under the mortgage note
or mortgage;

        (m)  Ownership.  Seller is the sole  owner of record  and  holder of the
Mortgage  Loan.  The Mortgage Loan is not assigned or pledged except as provided
in this  Agreement,  and Seller has good and marketable  title thereto,  and has
full  right to pledge  and assign  the  Mortgage  Loan to Buyer or its  designee
(including  the  Custodian)   free  and  clear  of  any   encumbrance,   equity,
participation  interest,  lien, pledge,  charge, claim or security interest, and
has full right and  authority  subject to no  interest or  participation  of, or
agreement  with, any other party, to sell and assign each Mortgage Loan pursuant
to this Agreement;

        (n) Doing  Business.  Seller and any originator of a Purchased  Mortgage
Loan is (or,  during the period in which  such  party held and  disposed  of any
interest  in the  Mortgage  Loan,  was)  (1) in  compliance  with  any  and  all
applicable licensing requirements of the laws of the state wherein the mortgaged
property  is located,  and (2)  organized  under the laws of such state,  or (3)
qualified  to do  business  in such state to the  extent the  failure to qualify
could  reasonably  be expected to materially  and  adversely  impact a Purchased
Mortgage  Loan  or  its   enforceability,   or  (4)  federal  savings  and  loan
associations  or national banks having  principal  offices in such state, or (5)
not doing business in such state;

        (o) LTV,  PMI Policy.  Unless  otherwise  agreed in writing by Buyer and
Seller,  no Mortgage  Loan has a LTV of more than 90%.  The  original LTV of the
Mortgage Loan either was not more than 80% or the excess over 75% is and will be
insured as to payment  defaults by a policy with respect to each  Mortgage  Loan
having  primary  mortgage  guaranty  insurance  issued by a  generally  accepted
insurance carrier (a "PMI Policy"),  such PMI Policy insures the original LTV of
such  Mortgage  Loan over 75% as to payment  defaults  until the LTV  thereof is
reduced  to 75%.  All  provisions  of such PMI  Policy  have  been and are being
complied  with,  such policy is in full force and effect,  and all  premiums due
thereunder  have been paid. Any Mortgage Loan subject to a PMI Policy  obligates
the mortgagor  thereunder to maintain the PMI Policy and to pay all premiums and
charges in  connection  therewith.  No more than 5% of the  Mortgage  Loans,  by
aggregate  principal  balance,  have  original  LTVs of more than 85% and no PMI
Policy;

        (p) Title  Insurance.  The  Mortgage  Loan is  covered  by either (i) an
attorney's  opinion of title and  abstract  of title the form and  substance  of
which is acceptable to mortgage  lending  institutions  making mortgage loans in
the area where the mortgaged  property is located or (ii) an ALTA lender's title
insurance  policy or other  generally  acceptable  form of policy of  insurance,
issued by a title insurer qualified to do business in the jurisdiction where the
mortgaged property is located,  insuring Seller, its successors and assigns,  as
to the first or second  priority lien of the mortgage in the original  principal
amount of the Mortgage Loan, subject only to the exceptions contained in clauses
(1),  (2) and (3) of  paragraph  (j) above.  Seller is the sole  insured of such
lender's title insurance policy,  and such lender's title insurance policy is in
full force and effect and will be in force and effect upon the  consummation  of
the transactions  contemplated by this Agreement. No claims have been made under
such  lender's  title  insurance  policy,  and no prior holder of the  mortgage,
including Seller, has done, by act or omission,  anything which would impair the
coverage of such lender's title insurance policy;

        (q) No Defaults. There are no defaults,  breaches,  violations or events
of  acceleration,  except payments not more than one payment past due,  existing
under the mortgage or the mortgage note and neither  Obligor nor its  respective
predecessors   have  waived  any   default,   breach,   violation  or  event  of
acceleration;

        (r) No  Mechanics'  Liens.  There are no  mechanics' or similar liens or
claims  which have been  filed for work,  labor or  material  (and no rights are
outstanding  that under the law could  give rise to such  liens)  affecting  the
mortgage d property  which are or may be liens prior to, or equal or  coordinate
with, the lien of the Mortgage;

        (s) Location of Improvements;  No Encroachments.  All improvements which
were considered in determining the appraised value of the mortgaged property lay
wholly within the  boundaries  and building  restriction  lines of the mortgaged
property and no improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon the mortgaged
property.  No improvement  located on or being part of the mortgaged property is
in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation;

        (t)  Origination;  Payment Terms.  The principal  balance at the time of
purchase by Buyer was no more than  $500,000.  The  documents,  instruments  and
agreements  submitted  for loan  underwriting  were not falsified and contain no
untrue  statement of material  fact or omit to state a material fact required to
be stated therein or necessary to make the  information  and statements  therein
not misleading.  With respect to adjustable  rate Mortgage  Loans,  the mortgage
interest rate is adjusted  periodically on each interest rate adjustment date to
equal the index plus the gross  margin,  rounded up or down to the nearest 1/8%,
subject to the mortgage  interest  rate cap. With respect to fixed rate Mortgage
Loans, the mortgage note is payable each month in equal monthly  installments of
principal  and  interest.  With  respect  to  adjustable  rate  Mortgage  Loans,
installments  of interest  are subject to change due to the  adjustments  to the
mortgage  interest  rate on each interest rate  adjustment  date,  with interest
calculated  and payable in arrears,  sufficient  to amortize the  Mortgage  Loan
fully by the stated maturity date, over an original term of not more than thirty
years from commencement of amortization.

        (u)  Customary   Provisions.   The  mortgage   contains   customary  and
enforceable  provisions  such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder
thereof  adequate  for the  realization  against the  mortgaged  property of the
benefits  of the  security  provided  thereby,  including,  (i) in the case of a
mortgage designated as a deed of trust, by trustee's sale, and (ii) otherwise by
judicial  foreclosure.  There is no homestead or other exemption  available to a
mortgagor which would interfere with the right to sell the mortgaged property at
a trustee's sale or the right to foreclose the mortgage;

        (v) Occupancy of the Mortgaged Property. As of the related Purchase Date
the  mortgaged   property  is  lawfully   occupied  under  applicable  law.  All
inspections,  licenses  and  certificates  required  to be made or  issued  with
respect to all occupied portions of the mortgaged  property and, with respect to
the use and occupancy of the same,  including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire  underwriting  certificates,  have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities;

         (w) No Additional Collateral. The mortgage note is not and has not been
secured by any collateral except the lien of the corresponding  mortgage and the
security  interest of any  applicable  security  agreement  or chattel  mortgage
referred to in (j) above;

        (x) Deeds of Trust.  In the event  the  mortgage  constitutes  a deed of
trust, a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in the mortgage, and no
fees or expenses  are or will become  payable by Buyer to the trustee  under the
deed of trust,  except in connection  with a trustee's sale after default by the
mortgagor;




                                       5

        (y) Acceptable Investment.  Seller has no knowledge of any circumstances
or  conditions  with  respect  to the  mortgage,  the  mortgaged  property,  the
mortgagor or the mortgagor's  credit standing that can reasonably be expected to
cause  private  institutional  investors  to  regard  the  Mortgage  Loan  as an
unacceptable  investment,  cause  the  Mortgage  Loan to become  delinquent,  or
adversely affect the value or marketability of the Mortgage Loan;

        (z)  Purchase of Mortgage  Documents.  The  Mortgage  File and any other
documents  required by Buyer to be  delivered  for the  Mortgage  Loan by Seller
under  this  Agreement  have  been  delivered  to the  Custodian.  Seller  is in
possession  of a  complete,  true and  accurate  mortgage  file  except for such
documents  the  originals  of which  have  been  delivered  to the  Buyer or its
designee (including the Custodian);

        (aa)  Transfer  of  Mortgage  Loans.   The  assignment of mortgage is in
recordable  form  and  is  acceptable  for  recording  under  the  laws  of  the
jurisdiction in which the mortgaged property is located;

        (ab) Due on Sale. The Mortgage contains an enforceable provision for the
acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan
in the event that the  mortgaged  property  is sold or  transferred  without the
prior written consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

        (ac)  No  Buydown  Provisions;   No  Graduated  Payments  or  Contingent
Interests.  The  Mortgage  Loan does not  contain  provisions  pursuant to which
monthly payments are paid or partially paid with funds deposited in any separate
account  established  by  Seller,  the  mortgagor  or  anyone  on  behalf of the
mortgagor,  or paid by any source other than the  mortgagor  nor does it contain
any other  similar  provisions  currently  in  effect  which  may  constitute  a
"buydown" provision.  The Mortgage Loan is not a graduated payment mortgage loan
and the Mortgage Loan does not have a shared  appreciation  or other  contingent
interest feature;

        (ad) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made prior to
the Purchase Date have been consolidated  with the outstanding  principal amount
secured by the mortgage,  and the secured  principal  amount,  as  consolidated,
bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the mortgage
securing the consolidated  principal amount is expressly insured as having first
and second lien priority by a title  insurance  policy or an  endorsement to the
policy insuring the mortgagee's consolidated interest or by other title evidence
acceptable to FNMA or FHLMC. The consolidated  principal amount floes not exceed
the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan;

        (ae) Mortgaged  Property  Undamaged.  There is no proceeding  pending or
threatened for the total or partial condemnation of the mortgaged property.  The
mortgaged  property is undamaged by waste,  fire,  earthquake or earth movement,
windstorm,  flood, tornado or other casualty so as to affect adversely the value
of the mortgaged property as security for the Mortgage Loan or the use for which
the premises were intended;

        (af) Collection Practices;  Escrow Deposits:  Interest Rate Adjustments.
The origination and collection  practices used with respect to the Mortgage Loan
have been in all respects in accordance with industry  custom and practice,  and
have been in all respects legal and proper.  With respect to escrow deposits and
escrow  payments,  all such  payments are in the  possession of Seller and there
exist no deficiencies in connection  therewith for which customary  arrangements
for  repayment  thereof  have not been  made.  All  escrow  payments  have  been
collected in full  compliance  with state and federal law. If an escrow of funds
has  been  established,  it is not  prohibited  by  applicable  law and has been
established  in an amount  sufficient to pay for every item that remains  unpaid
and has been  assessed  but is not yet due and  payable.  No escrow  deposits or
escrow  payments or other  charges or payments due Seller have been  capitalized
under the Mortgage or the mortgage note. All mortgage  interest rate adjustments
have been made in strict  compliance with state and federal law and the terms of
the related  mortgage note.  Any interest  required to be paid pursuant to state
and local law has been properly paid and credited;

        (ag)  Appraisal.  With  respect  to any  Mortgage  Loan  that  has  been
outstanding  for five (5) years or less, the mortgage file contains an appraisal
of the related  mortgaged  property signed prior to the approval of the Mortgage
Loan application by a qualified  appraiser,  duly appointed by the originator of
the  Mortgage  Loan,  who had no interest,  direct or indirect in the  mortgaged
property or in any loan made on the security thereof,  other than as an employee
of the  lender,  and whose  compensation  is not  affected  by the  approval  or
disapproval  of the Mortgage  Loan, and the appraisal and appraiser both satisfy
the requirements of Title XI of the Federal Institutions Reform,  Recovery,  and
Enforcement Act of 1989 and the regulations  promulgated  thereunder,  all as in
effect on the date the Mortgage Loan was originated;

        (ah) Soldiers' and Sailors' Relief Act.   The mortgagor has not notified
Seller,  and Seller has  no  knowledge of any relief requested or allowed to the
mortgagor under the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940; and

        (ai) Environmental Matters.  The mortgaged property is free from any and
all  toxic  or  hazardous substances and there exists no violation of any local,
state or federal environmental law, rule or regulation.

                  RELEASE OF IRREVOCABLE LETTER OF INSTRUCTIONS

                [Letterhead of Nomura Asset Capital Corporation]

                                     _______________, 1996

The First National Bank of Boston

Boston, MA 02110
ATTN:  Mr. David Hall

             Re: Release of Irrevocable Letter of Instructions

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We refer to a Master Repurchase  Agreement governing purchases and sales
of mortgage loans dated as of  _____________  (the  "Agreement")  between NOMURA
ASSET CAPITAL CORPORATION as buyer (referred to herein as "we" or "us" or as the
definition  "Buyer") and the undersigned,  INDUSTRY  MORTGAGE  COMPANY,  L.P. as
seller  ("Seller").  You have  previously  received  an  irrevocable  letter  of
instructions  executed by Seller  relating  to those  mortgage  loans  listed on
Exhibit A hereto (the "Relevant  Mortgage Loans")  directing that those loans be
held for benefit of Buyer and that all  payments  received  with  respect to the
Relevant  Mortgage  Loans  (less any  related  servicing  fees) be paid to Buyer
instead of Seller,  which letter of  instructions  was dated  ____________  (the
"Prior Letter of Instructions").

        You are hereby advised that the Prior Letter of  Instructions is revoked
as to the Relevant Mortgage Loan and that those loans shall hereafter be held by
you on behalf of Seller and not Buyer and that all  amounts  received  by you at
any time hereafter of any  principal,  interest or other  distributions  thereon
(less  any  related  servicing  fees)  shall be paid by you not to Buyer  but to
Seller or as Seller directs.

                                      Buyer

3.       Imitation; Confirmation; Termination

                  (a)      A  Transaction  may  be  entered  into  orally  or in
writing at the initiation of either Buyer or Seller.

                  (b) Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, Buyer
or Seller (or both),  as shall be agreed,  shall  promptly  deliver to the other
party a written confirmation of such Transaction (a "Confirmation").

                  The  Confirmation  shall  describe  the  Purchased  Securities
(including CUSIP or CINS or other identifying  number,  if any),  identify Buyer
and Seller and set forth (i) the Purchase Date, (ii) the Purchase  Price,  (iii)
the Repurchase  Date,  unless the  Transaction is to be terminable on demand (in
which case the Confirmation will say that it is so terminable), (iv) the Pricing
Rate applicable to the Transaction,  (v) in respect of each party the details of
the bank  account(s) to which  payments to be made hereunder are to be credited,
and (vi) any additional  terms or conditions of the Transaction not inconsistent
with this Agreement and shall be substantially in the form of Annex II hereto or
such other form as the parties may agree.

                  The  Confirmation  relating to a Transaction  shall,  together
with this Agreement, constitute prima facie evidence of the terms agreed between
Buyer and Seller for that  Transaction,  unless specific  objection is made with
respect to the Confirmation





                                        5
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>



promptly after receipt  thereof.  In the event of any conflict between the terms
of such Confirmation and this Agreement,  this Agreement shall prevail except in
the case of those  provisions  in relation to which the  Agreement  specifically
states that the parties may otherwise  agree;  and as to those  provisions,  the
Confirmation shall prevail;

                  (c)(i)  In the  case of on  demand  Transactions,  demand  for
Termination  shall be made by Buyer or Seller,  by telephone or  otherwise,  and
shall provide for Termination to occur after not less than the minimum period as
is  customarily  required for the  settlement or delivery of money or Equivalent
Securities of the relevant kind.

                  (ii)  Termination  of a Transaction  will be effected,  in the
case of on demand  Transactions,  on the date specified for  Termination in such
demand,  and,  in the case of fixed  term  Transactions  on the date  fixed  for
Termination.

                  (d)(i) On the Purchase Date for a  Transaction,  the Purchased
Securities shall be transferred to Buyer or its agent against the payment of the
Purchase Price to Seller.

                  (ii)  Termination  of a  Transaction  will be  effected on the
Repurchase  Date by  transfer  to Seller or its agent of  Equivalent  Securities
against the payment by the Seller of the Repurchase  Price (less any amount then
payable and unpaid by Buyer to Seller pursuant to paragraph 5 hereof).

4.       Margin Maintenance

                  (a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased
Securities then subject to any Transaction in which a particular party hereto is
acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate of the Buyer's Margin Amounts for all
such  Transactions  (the  difference   between  such  amounts  being  a  "Margin
Deficit"),  then  Buyer may by notice  to  Seller in such  Transactions  require
Seller to pay money or, at Seller's option,  to transfer  additional  Securities
reasonably acceptable to Buyer ("Additional Purchased Securities"),  so that the
aggregate  Market  Value  of  the  Purchased  Securities,   including  any  such
Additional Purchased Securities,  will thereupon equal or exceed an amount which
equals the aggregate of the Buyer's Margin  Amounts for all such  Transaction in
which such Buyer is acting as Seller.  For the purposes of this  calculation all
sums not  denominated  in the Base  Currency  shall be  converted  into the Base
Currency on the relevant date at the Spot Rate.

                  (b) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased
Securities then subject to any Transaction in which a particular party hereto is
acting as Seller  exceeds the aggregate of the Seller's  Margin  Amounts for all
such Transaction (the difference  between such amounts being a "Margin Excess"),
then  Seller may by notice to Buyer in such  Transactions  require  Buyer to pay
money or, at Buyer's option, to transfer  Equivalent  Securities to Seller in an
amount such that the  aggregate  Market Value of all Purchased  Securities  will
thereupon not exceed an amount which equals the aggregate of





                                        6



<PAGE>
<PAGE>



the Seller's  Margin  Amounts for all such  Transactions  plus the amount of the
Margin  Excess (if any) as of such date in respect  of all the  Transactions  in
which such Seller is acting as Buyer.  For the purposes of this  calculation all
sums not  denominated  in the Base  Currency  shall be  converted  into the Base
Currency on the relevant date at the Spot Rate.

                  (c) Any money paid or Securities  transferred pursuant to this
paragraph  shall be attributed as between all the  different  Transactions  then
outstanding  as shall be  agreed  upon by Buyer and  Seller  and,  failing  such
agreement,  as determined by the party  receiving such money or Securities.  Any
money paid  shall be paid in the  currency  agreed  therefor  between  Buyer and
Seller and failing such agreement in the Base Currency.

                  (d)  The  parties  may  agree,  with  respect  to  any  or all
Transactions,  that their respective rights under  sub-paragraphs (a) and (b) of
this  paragraph may be exercised  only where a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess
exceeds  an agreed  amount  or an  agreed  percentage  of the  aggregate  of the
Repurchase Prices of the relevant Transactions.

                  (e) The parties may agree that their  respective  rights under
sub-paragraphs  (a) and (b) of this  paragraph (to require the  elimination of a
Margin  Deficit  or a Margin  Excess,  as the case may be) may be  exercised  in
respect of an individual  Transaction whenever a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess
(calculated  on the basis that that  Transaction  is the only  Transaction  then
outstanding) exists with respect to it.

                  (f) Where the Seller or Buyer becomes  obliged under either of
sub-  paragraph  (a) or (b) of  this  paragraph  to  pay  money  or to  transfer
Securities  or Equivalent  Securities,  it shall pay or transfer the same within
the minimum  period  specified  in Annex I or, if no period is there  specified,
such minimum period as is customarily required for the settlement or delivery of
money, Securities or Equivalent Securities of the relevant kind.

5.       Income Payments

                  Unless otherwise agreed, where a particular Transaction's Term
extends over an Income payment date in respect of any Securities subject to that
Transaction,  Buyer shall on the date such Income is paid  transfer to or credit
to the account of Seller an amount  equal to (and in the same  currency as) such
Income payment or payments.

6.       Payment and Transfer

                  (a) Unless otherwise agreed, all money paid hereunder shall be
in immediately available, freely convertible funds of the relevant currency. All
Securities  transferred hereunder (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer and
shall be accompanied  by duly executed  instruments of transfer or assignment in
blank  (where  required  for  transfer)  and  such  other  documentation  as the
transferee party may reasonably  request,  or (ii) shall be transferred  through
the book entry system of Euroclear or CEDEL, or (iii)





                                        7

<PAGE>



shall be transferred  through any other agreed  securities  clearance system; or
(iv) shall be transferred by any other method mutually  acceptable to Seller and
Buyer.

                  (b) Unless otherwise agreed, all money payable by one party to
the other in  respect  of any  Transaction  shall be paid free and clear of, and
without  withholding or deduction for, any taxes or duties of whatsoever  nature
imposed, levied,  collected,  withheld or assessed by any authority having power
to tax,  unless the withholding or deduction of such taxes or duties is required
by law. In that event,  unless otherwise agreed, the paying party shall pay such
additional  amounts as will  result in the net amounts  receivable  by the other
party (after taking  account of such  withholding  or deduction)  being equal to
such amounts as would have been  received by it had no such taxes or duties been
required to be withheld or deducted.

                  (c) Unless  otherwise  agreed in writing  between the parties,
under each Transaction transfer of Purchased Securities by Seller and payment of
Purchase  Price  payable  by  Buyer  against  the  transfer  of  such  Purchased
Securities shall be made simultaneously and transfer of Equivalent Securities by
Buyer and payment of Repurchase  Price payable by Seller against the transfer of
such Equivalent Securities shall be made simultaneously.

                  (d) In the  case of any  Transaction  where,  pursuant  to the
provisions  of this  Agreement,  a party  performs  an  obligation  to  transfer
Securities or to pay money at a time when the other party,  in  accordance  with
this  Agreement,  is required to perform an  obligation to pay money or transfer
Securities  simultaneously  with the performance of the first party's obligation
but,   nevertheless,   the   second   party's   obligation   is  not   performed
simultaneously,  the second  party  shall hold on trust for the first  party any
assets  (including  money or  Securities)  that it receives from the first party
prior to the performance of its own obligations being completed  provided always
that the second  party  shall be at liberty to dispose of any such assets to the
extent such disposal  occurs in the ordinary course of its business and provided
further  that  any  such  trust  shall  terminate  upon  the  completion  of the
performance of the aforesaid obligations of the second party or disposal of such
assets whichever shall first occur.

                  (e)  Subject to and without  prejudice  to the  provisions  of
sub-paragraph 6(c), either party may from time to time in accordance with market
practice  and  in  recognition  of  the  practical   difficulties  in  arranging
simultaneous  delivery  of  Securities  and  money  waive  in  relation  to  any
Transaction  its rights under this  Agreement to receive  simultaneous  transfer
and/or payment provided that transfer and/or payment shall, notwithstanding such
waiver, be made on the same day and provided also that no such waiver in respect
of  one  Transaction  shall  affect,  or  bind  it  in  respect  of,  any  other
Transaction.

                  (f) The  parties  shall  execute  and  deliver  all  necessary
documents  and take all  necessary  steps to procure  that all right,  title and
interest in any Purchased Securities and any Equivalent Securities shall pass to
the party to which transfer is being





                                        8


<PAGE>
<PAGE>



made upon transfer of the same in accordance with this Agreement,  free from all
liens, claims, charges and encumbrances.

                  (g) Notwithstanding the use of expressions such as "Repurchase
Date", "Repurchase Price", "Margin",  "Margin Excess" and "Margin Deficit" which
are used to reflect  terminology used in the market for transactions of the kind
provided  for in  this  Agreement,  all  right,  title  and  interest  in and to
Securities and money  transferred or paid under this Agreement shall pass to the
transferee  upon  transfer  or payment  (subject  to the trust  provided  for in
paragraph  6(d)  of this  Agreement),  the  obligation  of the  party  receiving
Purchased Securities being an obligation to transfer Equivalent Securities.  For
the avoidance of doubt all right,  title and interest in and to  Securities  and
money transferred or paid pursuant to paragraph 4(a) and 4(b) shall pass in like
manner.

                  (h)      Time shall be of the essence in this Agreement.

                  (i) Subject to  paragraph  10 hereof,  all amounts in the same
currency  payable by each party to the other under any  Transaction or hereunder
on the same date  shall be  combined  in a single  calculation  of a net  amount
payable by one party to the other.

                  (j) Subject to paragraph 10 hereof, all Securities of the same
issue,  denomination,  currency  and series,  transferable  by each party to the
other under any Transaction or hereunder on the same date shall be combined in a
single calculation of a net quantity of Securities  transferable by one party to
the other.

7.       Contractual Currency

                  (a) All the payments made in respect of the Purchase  Price or
the  Repurchase  Price of any  Transaction  shall be made in the currency of the
Purchase  Price (the  "Contractual  Currency")  save as  provided  in  paragraph
10(b)(ii).  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  the payee of any money may, at its
option, accept tender thereof in any other currency, provided, however, that, to
the extent  permitted by applicable law, the obligation of the payer to pay such
money will be discharged  only to the extent of the amount of original  currency
that such payee may,  consistent with normal banking  procedures,  purchase with
such other currency  (after  deduction of any premium and costs or exchange) for
delivery on the second Business Day following its receipt of such currency.

                  (b) If for any  reason  the  amount in the  original  currency
received by a party, including amounts received after conversion of any recovery
under any  judgment or order  expressed  in a currency  other than the  original
currency,  falls short of the amount in the  original  currency due and payable,
the party  required  to make the payment  will,  as a separate  and  independent
obligation, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately transfer such
additional amount in the original currency as may be necessary to compensate for
the shortfall.

                  (c) If for any  reason  the  amount in the  original  currency
received by a party exceeds the amount of the original currency due and payable,
the party receiving the transfer will refund promptly the amount of such excess.

8.       Substitution

                  In  relation  to any  Transaction,  at any  time  between  the
Purchase Date and the Repurchase Date Seller may,  subject to agreement with and
acceptance by Buyer,  substitute other Securities for any Purchased  Securities,
provided,  however, that such substitute Securities shall have a Market Value at
least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased  Securities  for which they are
substituted as at the date of substitution.  Such substitution  shall be made by
transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and  simultaneous  transfer to Seller
of the relevant  amount of  Equivalent  Securities  in respect of the  Purchased
Securities being  substituted.  Where either or both of such transfers is or are
settled on a payment against delivery basis the parties shall make such payments
as between  each other as will  ensure  that the  aggregate  amount paid by each
party equals the  aggregate  amount  received by its.  After  substitution,  the
substituted  Securities  shall be  deemed  to be  Purchased  Securities  and the
original  Purchased  Securities  so  substituted  shall  cease  to be  Purchased
Securities.

                                                   11

                      (b)(i)  the  Default   Market  Values  of  the  Equivalent
         Securities to be transferred  and the  Repurchase  Prices to be paid by
         each party shall be  established  by the  non-Defaulting  Party for all
         Transactions as at the Repurchase Date; and

                        (ii) on the basis of the sums so established, an account
         shall be taken  (as at the  Repurchase  Date) of what is due from  each
         party to the other under this Agreement (on the basis that each party's
         claim  against  the other in respect to  transfer  to it of  Equivalent
         Securities  under  this  Agreement  equals  the  Default  Market  Value
         therefor) and the sums due from one party shall be set-off  against the
         sums due from the other and only the  balance of the  account  shall be
         payable  (by the  party  having  the claim  valued at the lower  amount
         pursuant to the foregoing) and such balance shall be due and payable on
         the Repurchase Date. For the purposes of this calculation, all sums not
         denominated  in the  Base  Currency  shall be  converted  into the Base
         Currency on the relevant date at the Spot Rate; and

                       (iii)  interest  shall  accrue  (as well  after as before
         judgment)  on  any  sum  payable  by  the   Defaulting   Party  to  the
         non-Defaulting  Party   under   this   sub- paragraph 10(b) at [certain
         confidential information has been omitted and filed separately with the
         Commission pursuant to a Request for Confidential  Treatment]  on a day
         to day basis from the date on which sum  becomes due and payable to the
         date of payment;

                  (c) the Defaulting Party shall be liable to the non-Defaulting
         Party  for the  amount  of all  reasonable  legal  and  other  expenses
         incurred  by the  non-  Defaulting  Party  in  connection  with or as a
         consequence of an Event of Default,  together with interest  thereon at
         LIBOR  or (in  the  case of an  expense  attributable  to a  particular
         Transaction,  and if  greater  than  LIBOR)  the  Pricing  Rate for the
         relevant Transaction; and

                  (d) the  non-Defaulting  Party shall have,  in addition to its
         rights hereunder,  any rights otherwise available to it under any other
         agreement or applicable law.

Each party shall  immediately  notify the other if an Event of Default occurs in
relation to it.

11.      Withholding of Payment or Delivery

                  Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 10 hereof, in
the case of transfers to be made  otherwise than on a payment  against  delivery
basis,  neither  party  shall be  obliged  on any  Repurchase  Date to  transfer
Equivalent  Securities or to pay the Repurchase Price to the other in respect of
a particular Transaction unless it is satisfied that the other party will pay or
deliver  to it on such date the  Repurchase  Price  or, as the case may be,  the
relevant Equivalent Securities.  If it is not so satisfied it shall by not later
than the time,  if any,  specified in Annex I notify the other party and request
assurances of that other party's ability to make such delivery or payment to it,
as the case





                                       12



<PAGE>
<PAGE>



may be, and unless that other party gives such  assurances  which are reasonably
adequate to the  notifying  party,  the  notifying  party shall  (provided it is
itself in a position,  and willing,  to perform its own obligations) be entitled
to withhold  delivery or payment to the other party (but where it exercises such
entitlement it shall  immediately give notice thereof to the other party) and in
this event the  procedures  set out in paragraph  10(b) hereof shall have effect
and be applied (on the basis that such other party is the Defaulting  Party) but
only in relation to the particular  Transaction in question and for this purpose
the  Contractual  Currency  of that  Transaction  shall be  treated  as the Base
Currency.

12.      Interest

                  Without prejudice to the provisions of paragraph 10 hereof and
to the extent permitted by applicable law, if any sum of money payable hereunder
or under any  Transaction  is not paid when due,  interest  shall accrue on such
unpaid  sum as a  separate  debt at the  greater  of the  Pricing  Rate  for the
Transaction  to which  such  sum  relates  (where  such  sum is  referable  to a
Transaction)  and  [certain  confidential information has been omitted and filed
separately with the Commission pursuant to a Request for Confidential Treatment]
on  a 360 day year  basis,  or a 365 day year  basis,  as shall have been agreed
for this  purpose, for the actual  number of days during the  period  from   and
including  the  date  on which  payment  was due to,  but excluding, the date of
payment.

13.      Single Agreement

                  Buyer and Seller  acknowledge that, and have entered into this
Agreement and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and
in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions  hereunder  constitute a single
business and contractual  relationship  and have been made in  consideration  of
each other.  Accordingly,  each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of
its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder,  and that a default in
the  performance  of any such  obligations  shall  constitute a default by it in
respect of all Transactions  hereunder,  and (ii) that payments,  deliveries and
other  transfers made by either of them in respect of any  Transaction  shall be
deemed to have been made in  consideration  of  payments,  deliveries  and other
transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder.

14.      Notices and Other Communications

                  Unless  another  address has been  specified in writing by the
party to whom any notice or other  communication is to be given  hereunder,  all
such notices or other communications shall be in writing in the English language
and shall be  delivered  personally  or sent by mail (first class mail in the UK
and by air mail if  overseas)  or by telex or by telefax,  and  delivered at the
respective  addresses  set forth in Annex III  hereto or to such  other  person,
address, telex number or telefax number as either party may specify by notice in
writing to the other.

                  In the absence of evidence of earlier  receipt,  any notice or
other communications shall be deemed to have been duly given:

                  (a)      if delivered personally, when left at the address
referred to above;

                  (b)      if sent by mail other than air mail, two days after
posting it;

                  (c)      if sent by air mail, six days after posting it;

                  (d)      if sent by telex, when the proper answer-back is
received; and

                  (e) if  sent  by  facsimile  transmission,  on the  date  that
         transmission is received by a responsible  employee of the recipient in
         legible form,  it being agreed that the burden of proving  receipt will
         be on the sender and will not be met by a transmission report generated
         by the sender's facsimile machine.

15.      Entire Agreement; Severability

                  This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between
the parties  containing  general terms and  conditions  for  Transactions.  Each
provision  and  agreement  herein  shall be treated as  separate  from any other
provision  or  agreement  herein and shall be  enforceable  notwithstanding  the
unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

16.      Non-assignability; Termination of Agreement

                  The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement
and under any Transaction shall not be assigned, charged or otherwise dealt with
by either party without the prior written consent of the other party. Subject to
the  foregoing,  this Agreement and any  Transactions  shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their  respective  successors  and
assigns.

                  This  Agreement  may be terminated by either party upon giving
written notice to the other,  except that this Agreement shall,  notwithstanding
such notice, remain applicable to any Transactions then outstanding.

                  All remedies hereunder shall survive Termination in respect of
the relevant Transaction and termination of this Agreement.

17.      Governing Law

                  This   Agreement   shall  be  governed  by  and  construed  in
accordance with the laws of England.  Buyer and Seller hereby irrevocably submit
for all purposes of or in connection with this Agreement and each Transaction to
the jurisdiction of the Courts of England.

                  Party A hereby  appoints  the  person  identified  in Annex IV
hereto as its agent to receive on its behalf  service of process in such courts.
Party A shall  promptly  appoint,  and notify  Party B of the identity of, a new
agent in England if such agent ceases to be its agent.

                  Party B  hereby  appoints  the  person  identified  in Annex V

Party B shall  promptly  appoint,  and notify  Party A of the identity of, a new

                  Nothing in this  paragraph  shall limit the right of any party

jurisdiction.

18.      No Waivers, Etc.

                  No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default be either
party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of
any remedy  hereunder  by any party  shall  constitute  a waiver of its right to
exercise any other remedy hereunder.  No modification or waiver of any provision
of this  Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure  herefrom shall be
effective  unless and until  such  modification,  waiver or consent  shall be in
writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto.  Without  limitation on
any of the foregoing,  the failure to give a notice  pursuant to  sub-paragraphs
4(a) or 4(b)  hereof  will not  constitute  a waiver  of any right to do so at a
later date.

19.      Waiver of Immunity

                  Each  party  hereto  hereby  waives,  to  the  fullest  extent
permitted by applicable  law, all immunity  (whether on the basis of sovereignty
or otherwise) from jurisdiction, attachment (both before and after judgment) and
execution to which it might otherwise be entitled in any action or proceeding in
the Courts of England or of any other country or  jurisdiction,  relating in any
way to this  Agreement  or any  Transaction,  and agrees that it will not raise,
claim or cause to be  pleaded  any such  immunity  at or in  respect of any such
action or proceeding.

"Counterparty"),  on the other hand. All of the NSI Companies  together are also
referred to herein as the "NSI Group".

         WHEREAS,  in order to induce each NSI Company and Counterparty to enter
into future  transactions and agreements and maintain existing  transactions and

(including,  but not limited to, swaps, caps and floors), futures and options on
futures  transactions,  secured  loan  transactions,  certificates  of  deposit,
underwriting  agreements  and agreements  for advisory  services  (collectively,
"Transactions"),  Counterparty  and each NSI  Company  desire to enter into this
Master Collateral Security and Netting Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, Counterparty and each NSI Company agree as follows:

1.  Counterparty  hereby  grants to each  member  of the NSI Group a  continuing
security interest in and first lien on all of its respective securities,  notes,
mortgages  instruments,  financial  assets,  monies  or other  property  and all
distributions thereon and proceeds thereof, whenever the same is held or carried
by or for such  member  by a  member  of the NSI  Group or any of such  member's
agents  (collectively,   the  "Collateral")  or  pledged,  lent  or  sold  in  a
Transaction  by  Counterparty  to any  member of the NSI Group.  The  Collateral
secures the payment and  performance of any and all  obligations and liabilities
of  Counterparty  to each  member  of the NSI Group  now or  hereafter  existing
(including, without limitation,  obligations and liabilities under Transactions)
whether  matured,  unmatured,  liquidated,  unliquidated,  fixed  or  contingent

                  liquidator,  legal custodian or similar official appointed for
                  such party or any of its property) commits an event of default
                  under,  or  disaffirms  or  repudiates,  any  agreement or any
                  Transaction with a member of the NSI Group;



                                        1

         (ii)     Counterparty becomes insolvent or a debtor under any

                  or  similar  official  is appointed for Counterparty or any of
                  its property;

then each  member of the NSI Group  shall  have,  in  addition to the rights and
remedies of a secured  creditor under the New York Uniform  Commercial Code then
in  effect  and such  other  rights  and  remedies  as may be  provided  by law,

                  partnership  organized  under the laws of the United States or
                  any  state  thereof,  (B) such  entity  expressly  assumes  by

                  in  its  sole  discretion,  the performance of all of Seller's
                  duties  and  obligations  under  the  Agreement,  and (C) such

                  reverse   repurchase   agreement,   securities   contract   or
                  derivative transaction with any party.

         (b)      In making a determination as to  whether  an  Event of Default
                  or an Event of  Acceleration  (as defined below) has occurred,
                  Buyer  shall  be  entitled  to rely on  reports  published  or
                  broadcast by media  sources  believed by Buyer to be generally
                  reliable  and  on  information  provided  to it by  any  other
                  sources believed by it to be generally reliable, provided that
                  Buyer  reasonably and in good faith believes such  information
                  to be accurate  and has taken such steps as may be  reasonable
                  in the circumstances to attempt to verify such information.

          (c)     In addition to the right under  paragraph 10(a), upon an Event
                  of  Default  the  non-Defaulting  Party  shall  no  longer  be
                  obligated to enter into any additional  Transactions  pursuant
                  to any outstanding Confirmation.

6.       Events of  Acceleration.  Upon the  occurrence of the following  events
         (each, an "Event of Acceleration"), at Buyer's election, the Repurchase
         Date for any  Transaction  shall occur  immediately and Seller shall be
         required  to  perform  all of its  obligations  with  respect  to  such
         Transaction  on such  accelerated  Repurchase  Date  as if it were  the
         originally stipulated Repurchase Date:

         (i)      Any act,  event,  or  circumstances  shall occur which, in the
                  reasonable  judgment of Buyer,  would have a material  adverse
                  impact on (A) the  creditworthiness of Seller, (B) the ability
                  of Seller to perform its  obligations  under the  Agreement in
                  prompt   and   timely   manner,   (C)  the   characterization,
                  convertibility,  marketability,  liquidity  or  value  of  any
                  Purchased  Securities,  or  (D)  the  economic,  political  or
                  financial stability of the United States, the Domicile Country

                  the United States, the Domicile Country or the Issuing Country
                  that  directly  affects  the  Purchased  Securities,   or  the
                  imposition  of  exchange  controls by the United  States,  the
                  Domicile  Country,  or  the  Issuing  Country,  that  directly
                  affects  the  financial  markets  of the  United  States,  the
                  Domicile  Country or the Issuing  Country and makes it, in the
                  sole judgment of Buyer,  inadvisable or impracticable to enter
                  into Transactions with the Securities.

7.       Additional  Representations.  In  addition  to  the representations and
         warranties set forth in paragraph 9, Seller additionally represents and
         warrants to Buyer that:

         (i)      immediately  prior to any  transfer  of  Securities  to Buyer,
                  Seller  shall  own  such  Securities  free  and  clear  of all
                  pledges, liens, security interests,  encumbrances, charges and
                  other adverse  claims and upon transfer of such  Securities to
                  Buyer, Buyer shall (A) be the owner of such Securities free of
                  any  adverse  claim or (B)  obtain a  valid,  perfected  first
                  priority security interest in such Securities; and

         (ii)     as of the date Buyer receives financial statements from Seller
                  and  as of  the  date  that  Buyer  and  Seller  enter  into a
                  Transaction,  there  has been no  material  adverse  change in
                  Seller's  financial  condition,   business  or  prospects  not
                  disclosed to Buyer since the date of such financial statements
                  and  such  financial   statements   accurately  represent  the
                  financial  condition  of  Seller  as of the  date  and for the
                  periods covered thereby.

8.       Additional Remedies.  In addition to the rights set forth in paragraph
         10, Buyer  shall  have  the  following additional rights if an Event of
         Default occurs with respect to Seller when Seller acts as Seller:

         (a)      After  one  (1)  Business Day's notice to Seller (which notice
                  need  not  be  given  if  an  Act  of  Insolvency  shall  have
                  occurred),  Buyer may  immediately  sell any or all  Purchased
                  Securities,  in  public  or  private  sales as Buyer  may deem
                  appropriate and at such price(s) as Buyer deems  satisfactory,
                  and  apply  the  proceeds  thereof  to  the  aggregate  unpaid
                  Repurchase  Price  and  any  other  amounts  owing  by  Seller
                  hereunder.  Buyer  may  elect,  in  lieu  of so  selling  such
                  Purchased  Securities,  to  give  Seller  a  credit  for  such
                  Purchased Securities in the amount of the Default Market Value
                  as of the date of such  election  against the amounts owing by
                  it to Buyer.

         (b)      Buyer and  Seller  agree and  acknowledge  that the  Purchased
                  Securities  constitute  collateral that may decline rapidly in
                  value  and may  have  limited  or no  liquidity.  Accordingly,
                  notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in the  Agreement or
                  this Annex I, Buyer  shall not be  required  to give notice to
                  Seller prior to  exercising  any remedy in respect of an Event
                  of  Default.  If no prior  notice is given,  Buyer  shall give
                  notice to Seller of the  remedies  effected by Buyer  promptly
                  thereafter.

         (c)      Buyer  shall have the right to proceed  against  any assets of
                  Seller which may be in the possession of Buyer,  any affiliate
                  of Buyer or any of their  designees,  including  the  right to
                  liquidate such assets and to set off the proceeds  against all
                  amounts  owing by Seller  to Buyer  under  the  Agreement.  In
                  addition,  Buyer may setoff the proceeds from the  liquidation
                  or credit of the Purchased Securities against any and all





                                        5



<PAGE>
<PAGE>



                  amounts  or  obligations  owing by Seller  to Buyer  under the
                  Agreement, any Transaction and any other agreement between the
                  parties, whether or not such obligations are then due, without
                  prejudice  to Buyer's  right to recover  any  deficiency.  Any
                  cash,  proceeds  or  property  in excess of any amounts due to
                  Buyer shall be returned to Seller  after  satisfaction  of all
                  obligations of Seller to Buyer.

9.       Covenants.  Seller  agrees  it  shall  take  such  actions,  at its own
         expense, as may be necessary to cause Purchased Securities which are in
         physical  form to be re-  registered  in the name of Buyer on or within
         five (5) days after the  Purchase  Date of a  Transaction,  but, in any
         event,  no later than the record  date for the next  payment  due under
         such securities. Seller agrees it shall, from time to time upon Buyer's
         request,  (i) deliver to Buyer its then most recent  audited or interim
         financial  statements and (ii) take such action, at its own expense, as
         Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to confirm, evidence, validate or
         perfect Buyer's interest in or rights to the Purchased Securities.

10.      Payment and Transfer.  Paragraph  6(a)  is  amended  by  adding  the
         following at the end thereof:

         "Notwithstanding the foregoing, all transfer of certificated securities
         from Seller to Buyer shall be effected by physical delivery to Buyer or
         its designee. When Seller acts as Seller in a Transaction, no Purchased
         Securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, shall remain in the
         possession of Seller or any of its agents or in any account in the name
         of Seller or any of its agents  (other than an account  maintained  for
         Seller on the books of Buyer)."

11.      Waiver.

         (a)      Buyer and Seller each hereby waiver, in respect of and for the
                  benefit of the other,  all and any rights and  defenses it may
                  have to any claim hereunder  based on any immunity  granted by
                  any law or treaty by reason of the party being an entity owned
                  or  controlled  by the  government  of another  country or any
                  sovereign immunity whatsoever.

         (b)      Except as  provided  in  Section  8(c) of this Annex I, Seller
                  hereby  agrees that its  obligation  to pay any amounts  owing
                  under the Agreement shall not be affected by or subject to any
                  defense, set-off recoupment,  claim, counterclaim or any other
                  right or remedy  that  Seller may have  against  Buyer for any
                  reason whatsoever, including, without limitation, any right or
                  remedy  arising  from or based on any  agreement  pursuant  to
                  which  Seller  sold,  purchased,   transferred,   borrowed  or
                  otherwise acquired the Securities.

12.      Jurisdiction; Miscellaneous.

         (a)      With  respect  to any claim arising out of the Agreement, each
                  party   (i)   irrevocably   submits   to   the   non-exclusive
                  jurisdiction  of the  courts  of the State of New York and the
                  United  States  District  Court  located  in  the  Borough  of
                  Manhattan  in New  York  City,  New  York,  U.S.A.,  and  (ii)
                  irrevocably  waives (A) any objection which it may have at any
                  time to the laying of venue of any suit,  action or proceeding
                  arising out of or relating  hereto  brought in any court,  (B)
                  any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding  brought in
                  any such court has been brought in any inconvenient  forum and
                  (iii) the right to object,  with respect to such claim,  suit,
                  action or  proceeding  brought  in any such  court,  that such
                  court does not have  jurisdiction  over such party.  Buyer and
                  Seller each irrevocably  agree to waive any rights it may have
                  to a jury trial in any action or proceeding against it arising
                  out of or relating in any manner to the Agreement.



                  Notwithstanding  Section 17 of the  Agreement,  this Agreement
                  will be governed by the laws of the State of New York.

     paragraph of this Agreement and is duly organized, validly existing and in
     good standing under the laws of the state of its organization and
     existence, and is duly qualified as a limited partnership in all
     jurisdictions wherein the character of the property owned or leased or the

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

         
     nature of the business transacted by it makes qualification as a foreign
     organization necessary.
         
          (b) The execution and delivery of the Agreement by Borrower and the
     performance by Borrower of the obligations to be performed by it hereunder
     have been duly authorized by all necessary partnership or other similar
     action. Prior to the first Settlement Date, the Borrower shall deliver to
     the Lender certified copies of relevant partnership or similar resolutions
     and a good standing certificate for the state of its organization and
     existence and, as requested by Lender, for each state in which Borrower is
     registered to do business. It is within Lender's discretion to periodically
     request good standing certificates for all states in which Borrower is
     registered to do business.
         
          (c) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Borrower and the
     performance by Borrower of the obligations to be performed by it hereunder
     do not, and will not, violate any provision of any law, rule, regulation,
     order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award presently
     in effect having applicability to Borrower or to the partnership agreement
     of the Borrower. All parties which have had any interest in the Mortgages,
     whether as mortgagee, assignee (other than Lender or assignee of Lender) or
     pledgee are (or during the period in which they held and disposed of such
     interest, were) in compliance with all applicable licensing requirements of
     the federal, state and local governments wherein the Subject Property is
     located.
         
          (d) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by Borrower and the
     performance by Borrower of the obligations to be performed by it hereunder
     do not and will not result in a breach of or constitute a default under any
     indenture or loan or credit agreement or any other agreement, lease or
     instrument to which Borrower is a party or by which it or its properties
     may be bound or affected.
         
          (e) This Agreement constitutes, when duly executed and delivered by
     Borrower, a legal, valid and binding obligation of Borrower,
     enforceable against Borrower according to its terms, except as such
     enforcement may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
     receivership, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors' rights in
     general, including equitable remedies.
         
          (f) There are no actions, suits or proceedings pending or, to the
     knowledge of Borrower, threatened against or affecting Borrower or the
     properties of Borrower before any court or governmental department,
     commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign,
     which, if determined adversely to Borrower, would have a material


                                       6

     adverse effect on the financial condition, properties or operations of
     Borrower. Any consent by Lender to make Advances for the origination of

     jurisdiction for the appointment of a conservator or receivers or
     liquidator in any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets
     and liabilities, bankruptcy proceeding or any similar proceedings, or for
     the winding up or liquidation of its affairs, shall have been entered
     against Borrower and such decree or order shall have remained in force
     undischarged or unstated for a period of 60 days; or (ii) Borrower shall
     consent to the appointment of a conservator or receiver or liquidator in
     any insolvency, readjustment of debt, marshalling of assets and
     liabilities, bankruptcy or similar proceedings relating to Borrower or
     relating to all or substantially all of its property; or (iii) Borrower
     shall admit in writing its inability to pay its debts as they become due,
     file a petition to take advantage of any applicable insolvency,
     reorganization or bankruptcy statute, make an assignment for the benefit of
     its creditors, or voluntarily suspend payment of its obligations.
         
          (g) Borrower shall assure that all capital contributions required to
     be made by partners of Borrower under any partnership or capital
     contribution agreements of Borrower shall be made in timely fashion and
     that the aggregate of all capital contributions made by partners of
     Borrower is at least $3,500,000 by August 31, 1994.
         
         
          (h) Borrower shall not permit its operations in any month to result in
     a net loss, as shown on the books of the Borrower or determined in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting practices. However, if the
     Borrower is pooling for securitization, Lender shall permit Borrower to
     compute and report to Lender as part of results of operations the value of
     hypothetical revenues from unrealized gains on mortgages held for future
     securitization. Borrower shall inform Lender of its intent to accumulate
     loans for securitization before it begins any pooling of loans. Thereafter
     until receipt of securitization proceeds, Borrower shall monthly mark to
     market all loans held for securitization and, solely for purposes of this
     paragraph, recognize as the results of operation any change in the market
     value of such loans since the end of the preceding month or, if a loan was
     acquired within the preceding month, since the date of acquisition. The
     market value shall be based on existing prices for sales to purchasers
     having valid mortgage purchase agreements with Borrower.

          (i) Borrower shall assure that the total of all outstanding Advances
     does not exceed the lesser of: (i) [certain   confidential  information
     has  been  omitted and  filed  separately  with  the   Commission  pursuant
     to a Request for Confidential Treatment].
              
     5.2 Representations, Warranties and Covenants of the Borrower As to Each
Loan. It is understood and agreed by Borrower and Lender that as a material
inducement to Lender to enter into this Agreement and make Advances, the
Borrower hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Lender as of each
Closing Date with respect to each Mortgage Loan delivered to Lender each of the
following:
         
          (a) The Borrower is a holder-in-due-course of each Note within the
     meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code and is the sole owner of the
     Mortgage Loan and has the right to pledge, assign and transfer the Mortgage
     Loan to the Lender. The Borrower has not sold, assigned or otherwise
     transferred any right or interest in or to the Mortgage Loan and has not
     pledged the Mortgage Loan as collateral for any Loan or obligation of
     Borrower or other purpose, except pursuant to this Agreement. The pledge of
     the Mortgage Loan by the Borrower to Lender validly pledges such Mortgage
     Loan to Lender free and clear of any pledges, liens, claims, encumbrances,
     Mortgages, charges, exceptions and/or security interests of any third
     parties.
             
          (b) Except as expressly disclosed to and agreed by the Lender in
     writing, each Mortgage Loan conforms to: (i) the Underwriting Guidelines
     set forth in Exhibit D attached hereto, as the same may be amended from
     time to time; and (ii) the conditions of the written Approval Advice of
     Lender which modifies or requires additional conditions (if applicable).
             
          (c) All information provided by Borrower as part of submission of
     Collateral to Lender is true and correct in all respects, and all other
     information furnished to Lender by Borrower with respect to the Mortgage
     Loan(s) is true and correct as of the Closing Date.
             
          (d) Each Note and Mortgage and the Essential Mortgage File Documents
     or Related Assets are in every respect genuine, are the valid instrument
     they purport on their face to be, are the legal, valid, binding and
     enforceable obligation of the Mortgagor thereunder and not subject to any
     discount, allowance, set-off, counterclaim, presently pending bankruptcy or
     other defense; none of the Notes, Mortgages or Essential Mortgage File
     Documents or Related Assets are forged or have affixed thereto any
     unauthorized signature or have been entered into by any persons without the
     required legal capacity; and no foreclosure (including any non-judicial
     foreclosure) or any other legal action has


                                       8




<PAGE>
<PAGE>
     been brought by the Borrower, any previous holder of the Mortgage, or any
     senior lienholder in connection therewith.
         
          (e) No instruments other than those delivered herewith are required
     under applicable law to evidence the indebtedness represented by the
     Mortgage Loan(s) or to perfect the lien of the Mortgage(s).
         
          (f) Except as has been disclosed to and agreed to by the Lender in
     writing, there is no agreement with the Mortgagor regarding any variation
     of the interest rate and schedules of payment (except as described in the
     Note and Mortgage) or other terms and conditions of the Mortgage Loan, no
     Mortgagor has been released from liability on the Note, and no property has
     been released from the Mortgage. If the Mortgage Loan is a variable rate
     loan, the Borrower represents and warrants as of each Closing Date that all
     applicable notices required by law or regulation have been provided to the
     Mortgagor and that the right to future changes in the interest rate and
     payment schedules has not been waived by the Borrower or any previous
     holder of the Mortgage Loan.
         
          (g) The Mortgage Loan is secured by a valid Mortgage, of the
     agreed-upon priority, on real property, and such Mortgage has been properly
     received by the appropriate public recording official to be filed, recorded
     or otherwise perfected in due course in accordance with applicable law in
     the appropriate jurisdiction.
         
          (h) There are no violations of any applicable federal or state law or

     Equal Credit Opportunity Act and Regulation B, the Federal Real Estate
     Settlement Procedures Act and Regulation X, the Federal Debt Collection
     Practices Act and any federal or state usury laws and regulations. All
     disclosures required by law, federal, state or local, were properly made by
     the Borrower (or other originator of the Mortgage Loan) prior to the
     closing of the Mortgage Loan.
         
          (i) The Borrower holds a marked-up title policy or a title insurance
     binder or title certificate which is in full force and effect; which has an
     insurance limit at least as great as the outstanding principal balance of
     the Mortgage Loan; which names the Borrower, its successors and assigns as
     the insured party and which is issued by a title insurer that is qualified
     to do business in the jurisdiction where the Subject Property is located.
     Said policy shall:
         
               (i) Insure the absence of any lien of taxes or other assessments
          that are due and payable;


                                       9

               (ii) Disclose whether all taxes and other assessments due as of
          the date of the policy have been paid-in-full; and
              
               (iii) Disclose all other matters to which like properties are
          commonly subject.
              
          (j) The Note and Mortgage contain customary, valid, legal and
     enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the
     holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Subject Property of
     the benefits of the security created thereby.
         
          (k) The proceeds of the Mortgage Loan have been fully disbursed and
     any and all requirements as to completion of on-site and off-site
     improvements and disbursement of any escrow funds therefore have been
     complied with.
         
          (l) There are no mechanic's lien or similar liens or claims which have
     been filed for work, labor or material affecting the Subject Property which
     are or may be liens prior to or equal with the lien of the Mortgage and
     senior Mortgage(s).
         
          (m) The Subject Property is free of material damage and waste and is
     in average repair and there is no proceeding pending or threatened for the
     total or partial condemnation of the Subject Property, and the Subject
     Property is free and clear of all hazardous material to the best of
     Borrower's knowledge.
         
          (n) All matured obligations pursuant to the Note and Mortgage have
     been paid or performed and the Borrower has not waived any default, breach,
     violation or event of acceleration.
         
          (o) The Borrower has no knowledge of any fact as to any Mortgage Loan
     which it has failed to disclose which would materially and adversely affect
     the value or marketability of such Mortgage Loans.
         
          (p) The Borrower has no knowledge of any impediments to title that
     adversely affect the value, enjoyment or marketability of the Subject
     Property.
         
          (q) Where required by state law, the Borrower or Borrower's
     predecessor in ownership of the Mortgage Loan has filed for record a
     request for notice of action by a senior lienholder under a senior lien,
     and the Borrower has notified any superior lienholder in writing of the
     existence of the Mortgage Loan and requested notification of any action to
     be taken against the Mortgagor by the superior lienholder. The Borrower
     shall, upon request of the Lender,

                                       10



<PAGE>
<PAGE>


     cooperate in recording a new request for action in favor of the Lender and
     in providing superior lienholder with written requests for notification to
     the Lender of action against the Mortgagor.
             
          (r) There is no default, breach, violation or event of acceleration
     existing under any senior Mortgage which, with notice, and the expiration
     of any grace or cure period, which constitute a default, breach, violation
     or event of acceleration.
             
          (s) Each Note and Mortgage contains a provision for the acceleration
     of the payment of the unpaid principal balance of the Mortgage Loan in the
     event the related Mortgaged Property is sold without the prior consent of
     the mortgagee thereunder which are applicable by state statute.
             
          (t) All real estate appraisals made in connection with each Mortgage
     Loan have been performed in accordance with industry standards in the
     appraising industry in the area where the appraised property is located.
             
          (u) To the best of Borrower's knowledge, no hazardous or toxic
     materials or wastes or products regulated by law or ordinance or asbestos
     or asbestos products or materials or polychlorinated biphenyls or urea
     formaldehyde insulation have ever been used or employed in the
     construction, use or maintenance of the Subject Property or have ever been
     stored, treated at or disposed of on the Subject Property. However, in the
     event it has been determined that asbestos or asbestos products or asbestos
     materials have been used or employed in construction, use, or maintenance
     in Subject Property, a duly qualified appraiser or engineer must state that
     the material is in good repair or has been removed.
             
          (v) To the best of Borrower's knowledge, there has not occurred nor
     has any person or entity alleged that there has occurred upon the Subject
     Property any spillage, leakage, discharge or release into the air, soil or
     groundwater of any hazardous materials or regulated wastes.
             
          (w) All taxes, filing fees and similar fees assessed by any state or
     local authority in connection with the execution, delivery or recording of
     the Mortgage have been paid.
             
     5.3 Survival. To induce Lender to provide Advances, Borrower makes the
representations and warranties set forth herein, each and all of which shall:
(i) survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the making of any
Advance by Lender; (ii) inure to the benefit of Lender; and (iii) be deemed to
have been relied upon in making Advances hereunder by Lender regardless in each
case of any investigation or review Lender may


                                       11



<PAGE>
<PAGE>

have or shall hereafter make. Borrower additionally represents and warrants that
no Mortgage Loan for which an Advance is made hereunder shall have been acquired
more than thirty (30) days prior to any Closing Date.
         
6. REPAYMENT OF ADVANCES.
         
     6.1 Repayment. When Borrower sells a Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall repay to
Lender the amount necessary to assure that the total of all outstanding Advances
does  not  exceed  [certain    confidential  information  has  been  omitted
and  filed  separately  with  the   Commission  pursuant to a Request for
Confidential Treatment] of the total face amount of all Eligible Collateral then
held by Lender less the face amount of any sold Mortgage Loan. Such repayment
shall be paid to Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the
Settlement Date. In any such case, after such repayment, in the event that: (1)
Borrower has provided Lender or Lender's custodian with a Request for Release
applicable to the sold Mortgage Loan, and (2) Lender or Lender's custodian has
verified repayment in accordance with this Section, the Lender shall deliver to
Borrower the Essential Mortgage File Documents with respect to the sold Mortgage
Loan unless the Mortgage Loan was sold to Lender. Borrower shall not sell
Mortgage Loans, nor request Lender to release the same, in lots of less than
$250,000 aggregate face amount, except for Mortgage Loans for which Advances
have been repaid in accordance with section 6.5 hereof.
         
     6.2 Interests on Advances. Subject to Section 6.3 hereof, Borrower shall
pay to Lender on the fifteenth Business Day of each month interest on all
Advances outstanding during the prior month computed at an annual rate equal to
Lender's Base Rate in effect on the first Business Day of the prior month plus
[certain   confidential  information  has  been  omitted  and  filed  separately
with  the   Commission  pursuant  to  a  Request  for  Confidential  Treatment]
per annum.
         
     6.3 Failure to Repay Advances. In the event Borrower fails to reimburse
Lender when required under this Agreement, such repayment is considered to be
delinquent and the interest payable to Lender on the amount of all such
delinquent reimbursements shall be calculated at an annual rate equal to
Lender's Base Rate in effect on the first business day of the prior month, plus
[certain   confidential  information  has  been  omitted and  filed  separately
with   the   Commission  pursuant  to  a  Request  for Confidential Treatment]
percent per annum.
         
     6.4 Computation of Interest. Interest on Advances shall be computed on the
basis of a 360-day year and the actual number of days elapsed in the period
during which it accrues. In computing the interest on any Advances, the date of
making the Advance shall be included and the date of repayment shall be
excluded; provided, that if an Advance is repaid on the same day on which it is
made, one day's interest shall be paid on that Advance.
         
     6.5 Repayment of Unpurchased Mortgage Loans. In the event that Lender has
not received from Borrower a copy of a binding agreement to purchase a
particular Mortgage Loan within 30 days of Lender's receipt of the Essential
Mortgage File Documents for


                                       12




<PAGE>
<PAGE>
such Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall no longer constitute Eligible
Collateral and Borrower shall repay Lender the amount of any Advance made with
respect to such Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to such Advance. Such repayment
shall be paid to Lender by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the
Settlement Date.
         
     In addition, if any Mortgage Loan is not purchased within 60 days after
Lender received the Essential Mortgage File Documents with respect to such
Mortgage Loan, such Mortgage Loan shall no longer constitute Eligible Collateral
and Borrower shall repay Lender any Advance made with respect to the unpurchased
Mortgage Loan in an amount equal to such Advance. Such repayment shall be made
as specified in the preceding paragraph.
         
7. SECURITY.
         
     7.1 Grant of Security Interest. To secure the payment of Advances and the
performance of Borrower's other obligations hereunder, Borrower pledges and
hypothecates to Lender, and grants a security interest in favor of Lender in,
all of Borrower's right, title and interest in and to the following (the
"Collateral"):
         
     (a) All Mortgage Loans, Mortgages and Mortgage Notes and other documents
and property as shall be deposited with, and held by Lender or its designated
custodian pursuant to this Agreement, whether or not the same shall be
determined to be Eligible Collateral;
         
     (b) All payments and prepayments of principal, interest, penalties and

          (i) All rights, liens and security interests existing with respect to,
     or as security for, all such Mortgage Loans;

          (iii) All insurance and guaranties provided by the FHA or VA, as the
     case may be, with respect to each such Mortgage Loan; and
             
          (iv) All private mortgage insurance policies with respect to each such
     Mortgage Loan.

     7.2 Authority to Collect. So long as no Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, Borrower shall have the right to collect for its own
account all payments (but not proceeds of sale of Mortgage Loans) of principal,
interest, penalties and other amounts due or to become due on Mortgage Loans and
pledged and hypothecated under this Agreement.
         
     7.3 Lender Appointed Attorney-in-Fact. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, Borrower appoints Lender as Borrower's attorney-in-fact, with full
power of substitution, for the purpose of taking such action and executing such
documents, in the name of Borrower or otherwise, as Lender may deem necessary or
advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, which appointment is
coupled with an interest and is irrevocable. Lender agrees promptly to notify
Borrower after any such action or execution of instruments, provided that the
failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such action or
execution of instruments.
         
     7.4 Security for Obligations. This Agreement shall create a continuing
security interest in the Collateral and shall: (i) remain in full force and
effect until payment in full of Borrower's Note; (ii) be binding upon Borrower,
its successors and assigns; and (iii) inure to the benefit of Lender and its
successors, transferees and assigns.

          settle, compromise or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing
          on the Collateral, any portion of the


                                       16

          Collateral, by any such obligor on terms acceptable to 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 in a
          commercially reasonable manner.
         
               (iii) Cause any disposition of all or any portion of the
          Collateral to be conducted immediately upon the occurrence of an Event
          of Default (or immediately upon the expiration of any period of delay
          or notice required by law) or Lender may delay any such sale or other
          disposition for such period of time as Lender deems to be in its best
          interest. Lender agrees to conduct any such sale or disposition in a
          commercially reasonable manner. Should Lender decide to conduct more
          than one such sale or disposition, Lender may at its option cause the
          same to be conducted simultaneously or successively on the same day or
          upon such different days or at such different times and in such order
          as Lender may deem to be in its best interests. Borrower waives, to
          the fullest extent permitted by law, any prejudice resulting to it
          from any such decision.
         
               (iv) Sell the Collateral in one or more lots, at one or more
          times, at public or private sales, in an established market therefor
          or otherwise, and with or without notice of any kind, as Lender may
          elect, at such prices and on such terms, as to cash or credit, as
          Lender may deem proper, and in the case of pledged Mortgages, with or
          without servicing rights, provided that notwithstanding any provision
          hereof, five Business Days' notice shall be given to Borrower of all
          sales of all or any portion of the Collateral. Any sale may be made at
          any place designated by Lender, and Lender shall have the right to
          become the lender at any such sale which is open to the public. If
          notice is given of the public sale of any of the Collateral, it is
          agreed that notice shall be satisfactorily given for all purposes if
          such notice is published at least once in a newspaper of general
          circulation in the vicinity of Borrower and in the regional edition of
          The Wall Street Journal, not less than five Business Days prior to
          such sale and Lender mails, or causes to be mailed a copy of such
          notice to Borrower on or prior to the first publishing date. The
          foregoing notice provisions shall not preclude Lender's rights to
          foreclose upon the collateral in any other manner permitted under the
          Uniform Commercial Code; provided, however, a sale of the Collateral
          in accordance with the above notice


                                       17

<PAGE>
          requirements shall be deemed a disposal of the Collateral in a
          commercially reasonable manner. Lender shall have the right in
          connection with the Collateral either to sell the same as above
          provided, or to foreclose, sue upon, or otherwise seek to enforce the
          same in its own name or in the name of Borrower as provided herein.
          Subject to the foregoing provisions of this paragraph, after an Event
          of Default shall occur and be continuing, Lender shall have the right
          to renew, extend the time of payment of, or otherwise modify, amend,
          supplement, settle or compromise, in any manner, any obligations for
          the payment of money included in the Collateral, any security therefor
          and any other agreements, instruments, claims or choses in action of
          any kind, which may be included in the Collateral.
         
               (v) Take possession of all or any portion of the Collateral that
          is not already in its possession of Lender and Borrower agrees to
          assemble and make available the Collateral to Lender at a convenient
          location. Lender may manage and protect the Collateral, do any acts
          which Lender deems proper to protect the Collateral as security
          hereunder, and sue upon any contract or claim relating to the
          Collateral and receive any payments due thereon or any damages
          thereunder, and apply all sums received to the payment of the
          indebtedness secured hereby in such order as Lender shall determine,
          subject to the provisions of section 8.5 hereof. Any such actions of
          Lender shall not, absent written ratification by Lender, be deemed to
          impose upon Lender any of Borrower's obligations under any contracts.
         
               (vi) Be entitled, without regard to the adequacy of the security
          for the indebtedness secured hereby, to the appointment of a receiver
          by any court having jurisdiction, without notice, to take possession
          of and protect, collect, manage, liquidate, and sell the Collateral or
          any portion thereof, collect the payments due with respect to the
          Collateral or any portion thereof, and do anything that Lender is
          authorized with respect thereto do do.
         
               (vii) Notify all obligors of Collateral that the Collateral has
          been assigned to Lender and that all payments thereon are to be made
          directly to Lender or such other party as may be designated by Lender;
          settle, compromise, or release, in whole or in part, any amounts owing
          on the Collateral, any portion of the Collateral or any such obligor
          on terms acceptable to Lender; enforce payment and prosecute any
          action or proceeding with respect to any and all Collateral; and


                                       18



<PAGE>
<PAGE>
          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 in a commercially reasonable manner.
                 
               (viii) Act, or contract with a third party to act, as servicer of
          each item of Collateral requiring servicing with any such third
          party's fees to be paid by Borrower, deducted from payments received,
          or deducted from Borrower's account, as Lender may elect in its sole
          discretion.
                 
               (ix) Exercise all rights and remedies of a secured creditor under
          the Uniform Commercial Code, including, but not limited to, selling
          the Collateral at public or private sale.
                 
               (x) Exercise any and all other rights and remedies of Lender as
          it shall deem appropriate at law, in equity, or otherwise.
                 
          (c) All remedies are cumulative. Any failure on the part of Lender to
     exercise or any delay in exercising any right hereunder shall not operate
     as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Lender of
     any right hereunder preclude any other exercise thereof or the exercise of
     any other right.
            
     8.3 Application of Proceeds. Any money collected by Lender pursuant to this
Section 8 (whether upon voluntary payment, foreclosure or otherwise) shall be
promptly applied as follows unless otherwise required by provisions of
applicable law:
         
          (a) First, to the payment of all expenses incurred by Lender in
     enforcing its rights under this Agreement, including all costs and expenses
     of collection, attorneys' fees, court costs and foreclosure expenses.
             
          (b) Next, to the payment of all principal of and interest on Advances.
             
          (c) Next, to Borrower.
             
9. INDEMNIFICATION.
         
     9.1 (a) Borrower hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Lender, its subsidiaries and affiliates and assignees, and all of their
agents, employees, officers and directors, (collectively the Lender
Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, costs, expenses,
judgments, damages, losses, claims, demands, offsets, defenses, counterclaims,

proceedings, by whomsoever asserted, arising from, connected with, or resulting
from: (i) any breach by Borrower of any covenant, representation, or warranty
contained herein or of any other term of this Agreement or any act of Borrower
or omission by Borrower where Borrower has a duty to act; and (ii) any assertion
or claim of any liability of Lender on account of any contamination, pollution
or other condition of any of the Subject Properties in violation of any
environmental law; provided, however, that Borrower's obligation to indemnify
pursuant to this section shall not extend to any liability arising from the
gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Lender Indemnitee or, as to any
particular Mortgage Loan, to any act committed by Lender after such Mortgage
Loan is sold to Lender, its assignee or successor.
             
     (b) If any legal proceeding shall be instituted, or any claim asserted in
respect of which a Lender Indemnitee may seek indemnification from Borrower, the
Borrower shall have the right, at its option and at its own expense, to be
represented by counsel of its choice and to defend against, negotiate, settle,
or otherwise deal with such proceeding or claim.
         
     9.2 (a) Lender hereby agrees to protect, indemnify, defend and hold
harmless Borrower, its subsidiaries and affiliates and assignees, and all of
their agents, employees, officers and directors (collectively, the "Borrower
Indemnitees") from and against any and all liabilities, costs, expenses,
judgments, damages, losses, claims, demands, offsets, defenses, counterclaims,
actions, or proceedings, by whomever asserted, arising from, connected with, or
resulting from any breach by Lender of any covenant, representation, or warranty
contained herein or of any other term of this Agreement or any act of Lender or
omission by Lender where Lender has a duty to act; provided, however, that
Lender's obligation to indemnify pursuant to this section shall not extend to
any liability arising, from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any
Borrower Indemnitee.
             
     (b) If any legal proceeding shall be instituted, or any claim asserted in
respect of which a Borrower Indemnitee may seek indemnification from Lender, the
Lender shall have the right, at its option and at its own expense, to be
represented by counsel of its choice and to defend against, negotiate, settle,
or otherwise deal with such proceeding or claim.

lawful attorney to sign and deliver to Lender on behalf of Borrower any

12. ACCESS TO BORROWER DOCUMENTS AND INFORMATION.

Loans or this Agreement at any time during normal business hours.

     (a) Lender may terminate its obligations to make Advances under this
Agreement: (i) at any time after the commencement date of this Agreement in its
sole discretion for any or no reason whatsoever upon thirty (30) days' written

that, as of the Closing Date, there are no taxes, ground, rents, water charges,
sewer rents, assessments payable in future installments, or other outstanding
charges affecting the lien of any Mortgage or Mortgaged Property, which amounts
are being escrowed and which are due and payable. If requested by the Lender,
each such servicer shall submit proof of the foregoing representation and
warranty.

     14.4 Complete Agreement; Modification; Sale or Assignment. This Agreement
constitutes the complete agreement between Borrower and Lender with respect to
the subject matter hereof and may not be modified, altered, or amended except by
a writing signed by Borrower and Lender. Neither party hereto may sell, assign,

to assign the Borrower's Note to any other person or entity.
         
     14.5 No Waiver. No undertaking, agreement, covenant, representation or
warranty of Borrower contained herein shall be deemed to have been waived by
Lender, unless such waiver is by an instrument in writing signed by Lender. Any
such waiver by Lender shall not be deemed to be waiver of any other undertaking,
agreement, covenant, representation or warranty. Lender's failure, at any time,
to require strict performance of any provision hereof shall not waive, affect or
diminish any right of Lender thereafter to demand strict compliance therewith or
performance thereof.
         
     14.6 Parties. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the
benefit of, the successors and permitted assigns of Borrower and Lender.

applicable to contracts made and performed in such state without regard to the

States of America.
         
     14.8 Severability; Section Headings. Any invalidity of any provision of
Borrower's Note or this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other
provision hereof. The section headings contained herein shall be without
substantive meaning and shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement.
         
     14.9 Construction. Wherever from the context it appears appropriate, each
term stated in either the singular or plural shall include the singular and
plural, and pronouns stated in the masculine, feminine, or neuter gender shall
include the masculine, feminine, and the neuter. The words "herein," "hereof,"
"hereto," "hereby," and other words of similar import shall be deemed to refer
to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular section, subsection, or
clause of this Agreement.
         
     14.10 Regulatory Compliance. Without limiting and in addition to the above,
the Borrower acknowledges and understands that the Lender is committed to full
compliance with any and all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders
relating to fair lending (the "Fair Lending Laws"). In connection with such


                                       23

commitment, the Borrower represents and warrants that it shall not engage in any
practice or transaction relating to a Mortgage Loan which would directly or
indirectly have the effect of discriminating against any Mortgage Loan applicant
on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status or
age (provided that the applicant has the legal capacity to contract), the fact
that all or part of the applicant's income derives from any public assistance
program, or the fact that the applicant has in good faith exercised any rights
under the Consumer Credit Protection Act. The Lender and the Borrower shall

practices which: (a) are consistent with safe and sound banking practices and
the Lender's corporate policies, and (b) are consistent and comply with the Fair
Lending Laws.
         
     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by
the parties intending to be legally bound hereby, as of the date first written

     accordance with the terms of the Borrower's Note and this Agreement;
     provided, however, that: (i) the outstanding amount of Advances provided to
     Borrower   hereunder   shall   not   exceed  the lesser of $9,500,000
     [certain   confidential  information  has  been  omitted  and   filed
     separately  with  the   Commission  pursuant  to a Request for Confidential
     Treatment]; (ii) Lender  must pre-approve any investor to whom Borrower
     seeks to sell Mortgage Loans  funded under this Agreement; (iii) Lender may
     terminate its obligation to  make Advances under this agreement upon 60
     days notice to Borrower; (iv)  Lender shall not be obligated to make any
     advance in the amount less than $250,000, and shall not be obligated to
     make more than one advance per   Business Day; and (v) Lender shall not
     be obligated to accept any repayment  by Borrower of principal and
     interest in an amount less than $250,000, except for Advances repaid in
     accordance with section 6.5 hereof.

2. Section 3 PURCHASE OF MORTGAGE LOANS ADVANCED UNDER THE AGREEMENT is

     ss. 1602(aa)).
              
     5. Section 6.1 Repayment is hereby amended to read, in its entirety, as
follows:
         
          6.1 Repayment. When Borrower sells a Mortgage Loan, Borrower shall
     repay to Lender the amount necessary to assure that the total of all

     Mortgage Loan. Such repayment shall be paid to Lender by wire transfer in
     immediately available funds on the Settlement Date. In any such case, after
     such repayment, in the event that: (1) Borrower has provided Lender or
     Lender's custodian with a Request for Release applicable to the sold

     Mortgage Loans, nor request Lender to release the same, in lots of less
     than $250,000 aggregate face amount, except for Mortgage Loans for which

6. Section 6.2 Interests on Advances is hereby amended to read, in its

                          NOTE MODIFICATION AND ALLONGE
         
     This Note Modification and Allonge, dated as of March 15th, 1995, is by and

                                    RECITALS
                 
     A. On March 18, 1994, Borrower executed and delivered to Bank a Commercial
Line of Credit Note in the original principal amount of $5,000,000 (the "Note").
         
     B. The parties now wish to modify the Note to change the principal amount
and interest rate.
         
                                    AGREEMENT
                 
     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set
forth herein, the parties hereby agree as follows:

     1. The principal amount of the Note, as set forth in the first paragraph
thereof, is changed from "Five Million Dollars ($5,000,000)" to "Nine Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($9,500,000)".
         
     2. The aggregate principal amount outstanding under the Note shall bear
interest at a floating rate equal to the Base Rate, as that term is defined in
the Note.
         
     3. Section 3.0 shall be added to the Note as follows:
         
     Borrower shall pay to the Bank a commitment fee based upon the average
     daily outstanding balance of the Note subtracted from the principal
     amount ($9,500,000)(the "Unused Principal"). [certain   confidential
     information  has  been  omitted and  filed  separately  with  the
     Commission  pursuant  to a Request for Confidential Treatment]

              
     4. No delay or omission on the part of the Bank in exercising any right
hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such right or of any other right under
this Note Modification and Allonge. No waiver of any right or amendment hereto
shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the Bank nor shall a waiver
on one occasion be construed as a bar to or waiver of any such right on any
future occasion.
         
     5. The Note, as amended and restated herein is hereby ratified, confirmed
and approved in all respects. Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the Note as
modified herein shall continue to be secured by all collateral in which Borrower
has granted Bank a security interest as security

under  this  Note.  No  waiver  of any right or any  amendment  hereto  shall be
effective  unless in  writing  and  signed by the Bank nor shall a waiver on one
occasion  bar or waive the  exercise  of any such right on any future  occasion.

special, time or demand, provisional or final) and other sums credited by or due
from the Bank to the  undersigned  or subject to withdrawal by the  undersigned;
and  regardless  of the adequacy of any  collateral  or other means of obtaining
repayment of the Obligations, the Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, without notice to the undersigned (any such notice being expressly
waived by the  undersigned)  and to the fullest extent  permitted by law, to set
off and apply  such  deposits  and other sums  against  any  obligations  of the
undersigned for which the Due Date has passed. In addition,  upon the failure of
the  undersigned  to pay all amounts due hereunder  after the Due Date, the Bank
shall have in any jurisdiction where enforcement hereof is sought the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of Massachusetts.

                                                                       EXHIBIT B



                 UNLIMITED GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE



     For good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which
are  hereby  acknowledged,  and for the  purpose  of seeking to induce THE FIRST
NATIONAL BANK OF BOSTON, a national banking association (hereinafter referred to
as 'Lender') to extend credit or otherwise provide  financial  accommodations to
IMC  Corporation  of  America,  a Delaware  corporation  (hereinafter,  with any
successor,  assign,  or  replacement  hereafter  approved  by the  Bank,  in its
discretion,  referred to as 'Customer'), which extension of credit and provision
of  financial  accommodations  will be to the  direct  interest,  advantage  and
benefit of the undersigned.  Industry Mortgage Company, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership  having its principal  address at 3450 Buschwood  Park Drive,  Suite
250, Tampa,  Florida 33618 (hereinafter  referred to as 'Guarantor').  Guarantor
does hereby agrees as follows:



     1.   GUARANTY   OF  PAYMENT   AND   PERFORMANCE.   The   Guarantor   hereby
unconditionally  guarantees  to the Bank the full and punctual  payment when due
(whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and the performance, of all
liabilities,  agreements  and other  obligations  of the  Customer  to the Bank,
whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent due or to become due, secured
or unsecured,  now existing or hereafter  arising or acquired (whether by way of
discount,   letter  of  credit,   lease,  loan,  overdraft  or  otherwise)  (the
'Obligations').  This  Guaranty is an  absolute,  unconditional  and  continuing
guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations and
not  of  their  collectibility  only  and  is in no  way  conditioned  upon  any
requirement  that the Bank first attempt to collect any of the Obligations  from
the  Customer  or resort  to any  security  or other  means of  obtaining  their
payment. Should the Customer default in the payment or performance of any of the
Obligations, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall become immediately
due and  payable to the Bank,  without  demand or notice of any  nature,  all of
which are expressly waived by the Guarantor. Payments by the Guarantor hereunder
may be required by the Bank on any number of occasions.



     2.  GUARANTOR'S  AGREEMENT TO PAY. The  Guarantor  further  agrees,  as the
principal  obligor and not as a guarantor  only,  to pay to the Bank, on demand,
all costs and expenses  (including  court costs and legal expenses)  incurred or
expended by the Bank in connection with the  Obligations,  this Guaranty and the
enforcement  thereof  together with interest on amounts  recoverable  under this
Guaranty  from  the  time  such  amounts  become  due  until  payment,  [Certain
confidential  information  has  been  omitted  and  filed  separately  with  the
Commission pursuant to a Request for Confidential  Treatment.]  provided that if
such interest  exceeds the maximum amount  permitted to be paid under applicable
law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.





     3. UNLIMITED  GUARANTY.  The liability of the Guarantor  hereunder shall be
unlimited.



     4. WAIVERS BY GUARANTOR;  BANK'S FREEDOM TO ACT. The Guarantor  agrees that
the  Obligations  will be paid and performed  strictly in accordance  with their
respective





<PAGE>

<PAGE>




terms  regardless  of  any  law,  regulation  or  order  now   or  hereafter  in
effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Bank
with respect thereto. The Guarantor waives presentment,  demand, protest, notice
of  acceptance,  notice  of  Obligations  incurred and all other  notices of any
kind,  all defenses  which may be available  by virtue of any  valuation,  stay,
moratorium  law or other  similar law now or hereafter  in effect,  any right to
require the marshalling of assets of the Customer,  and all suretyship  defenses
generally.  Without  limiting the  generality  of the  foregoing,  the Guarantor
agrees to the  provisions of any  instrument  evidencing,  securing or otherwise
executed in connection  with any Obligation  and agrees that the  obligations of
the Guarantor hereunder shall not be released or discharged in whole or in part,
or  otherwise  affected  by (i) the  failure  of the Bank to assert any claim or
demand  or to  enforce  any  right or  remedy  against  the  Customer;  (ii) any
extensions  or  renewals  of any  Obligation;  (iii) any  rescissions,  waivers,
amendments or  modifications  of any of the terms or provisions of any agreement
evidencing,  securing or otherwise  executed in connection  with any Obligation;
(iv) the substitution or release of any entity  primarily or secondarily  liable
for any Obligation; (v) the adequacy of any rights the Bank may have against any
collateral or other means of obtaining  repayment of the  Obligations;  (vi) the
impairment  of  any  collateral  securing  the  Obligations,  including  without
limitation  the failure to perfect or preserve any rights the Bank might have in
such  collateral or the  substitution,  exchange,  surrender,  release,  loss or
destruction  of any such  collateral;  or (vii) any other act or omission  which
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise
operate as a release or  discharge  of the  Guarantor,  all of which may be done
without notice to the Guarantor.



     5.  UNENFORCEABILITY OF OBLIGATIONS AGAINST CUSTOMER. If for any reason the
Customer has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any
of the Obligations,  or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from
the Customer by operation of law or for any other reason,  this  Guaranty  shall
nevertheless  be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if the Guarantor
at all times had been the  principal  obligor  on all such  Obligations.  In the
event that  acceleration  of the time for payment of the  Obligations  is stayed
upon the insolvency,  bankruptcy or reorganization  of the Customer,  or for any
other reason, all such amounts otherwise subject to acceleration under the terms
of any agreement  evidencing,  securing or otherwise executed in connection with
any Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the Guarantor.




     6. SUBROGATION;  SUBORDINATION. The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights
against the Customer arising as a result of payment by the Guarantor  hereunder,
by way of subrogation or otherwise,  and will not prove any claim in competition
with  the  Bank  or its  affiliates  in  respect  of any  payment  hereunder  in
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any nature; the Guarantor will not claim
any set-off or counterclaim  against the Customer in respect of any liability of
the Guarantor to the Customer;  and the Guarantor  waives any benefit of and any
right to  participate  in any  collateral  which may be held by Bank or any such
affiliate.  The payment of any amounts due with respect to any  indebtedness  of
the Customer now or hereafter  held by the Guarantor is hereby  subordinated  to
the  prior  payment  in full  of the  Obligations,  provided  that so long as no
default in the payment or  performance  of the  Obligations  has occurred and is
continuing,  or no demand for  payment of any of the  Obligations  has been made
that remains  unsatisfied,  the Customer may make,  and the Guarantor may demand
and  accept  any  scheduled  payments  of  principal  of and  interest  on  such
subordinated indebtedness in the amounts at the rates and on the dates specified
in such instruments, securities or other

                                      -2-





<PAGE>

<PAGE>




writings as shall evidence such subordinated indebtedness.  The Guarantor agrees
that after the  occurrence of any default in the payment or  performance  of the
Obligations,  the  Guarantor  will not demand,  sue for or otherwise  attempt to
collect  any  such  indetedness  of the  Customer  to the  Guarantor  until  the
Obligations  shall have been paid in full.  If,  notwithstanding  the  foregoing
sentence, the Guarantor shall collect, enforce or receive any amounts in respect
of such indebtedness, such amounts shall be collected,  enforced and received by
the  Guarantor  as trustee for the Bank and  be paid over to the Bank on account
of  the  Obligations  without  affecting  in any  manner  the  liability  of the
Guarantor under the other provisions of this Guaranty.



     7. SECURITY; SET-OFF. The Guarantor grants to the Bank, as security for the
full  and  punctual  payment  and  performance  of the  Guarantor's  obligations
hereunder, a continuing lien on and security interest in all securities or other
property belonging to the Guarantor now or hereafter held by the Bank and in all
deposits  (general or special,  time or demand,  provisional or final) and other
sums  credited by or due from the Bank to the Guarantor or subject to withdrawal
by the  Guarantor;  and  regardless  of the adequacy of any  collateral or other
means of obtaining  repayment of the Obligations,  the Bank is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time,  without  notice to the  Guarantor  (any such
notice  being  expressly  waived by the  Guarantor)  and to the  fullest  extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply such  deposits and other sums against the
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty,  whether or not the Bank shall
have made any demand under this  Guaranty and although such  obligations  may be
contingent or unmatured.



     8. FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor will, from
time to time at the  request  of the Bank,  provide  to the Bank such  financial
information as the Bank may request, including personal financial statements (on
such forms as the Bank may  prescribe)  and federal and state income tax returns
and such other information relating to the business and affairs of the Guarantor
as the Bank may reasonably request. The Guarantor also agrees, upon demand after
any change in the condition or affairs (financial or otherwise) of the Guarantor
deemed by the Bank to be  adverse  and  material,  to  secure  the  payment  and
performance  of  its   obligations   hereunder  by   delivering,   assigning  or
transferring to the Bank or granting the Bank a security  interest in additional
collateral of a value and character satisfactory to the Bank, and authorizes the
Bank to file any  financing  statement  deemed  by the Bank to be  necessary  or
desirable to perfect any security  interest granted by the Guarantor to the Bank
and as agent for the Guarantor, to sign the name of the Guarantor  thereto.  The
Guarantor  also agrees to do all such things and  execute  all  such  documents,
including financing statements,  as the Bank may consider necessary or desirable
to give full effect to this  Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and
posers of the Bank hereunder.



     9. TERMINATION; REINSTATEMENT. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect until the Bank is given  written  notice of the Guarantor's  intention to
discontinue this Guaranty, notwithstanding any intermediate or temporary payment
or settlement of the whole or any part of the Obligations.  No such notice shall
be effective  unless received and  acknowledged by an officer of the Bank at its
head office or at the branch of the Bank where this  Guaranty is given.  No such
notice  shall  affect  any  rights  of the  Bank or of any  affiliate  hereunder
including,  without  limitation,  the rights set forth in Sections 4 and 6, with
respect  to  Obligations  incurred  prior  to the  receipt  of  such  notice  or
Obligations  incurred  pursuant to any contract or commitment in existence prior
to such receipt and all checks, drafts, notes, instruments (negotiable or


                                      -3-





<PAGE>

<PAGE>




otherwise)  and writings made by or for the account of the Customer and drawn on
the Bank or any of its  agents  purporting  to be dated on or before the date of
receipt of such notice,  although  presented to and paid or accepted by the Bank
after  that  date,  shall  form part of the  Obligations.  This  Guaranty  shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated,  notwithstanding  any such notice, if
at any time any payment made or value  received with respect to an Obligation is
rescinded  or must  otherwise  be  returned  by the Bank  upon  the  insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Customer,  or otherwise,  all as though such
payment had not been made or value received.



     10.  SUCCESSORS  AND  ASSIGNS.  This  Guaranty  shall be  binding  upon the
Guarantor,  its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Bank and its  successors,  transferees  and assigns.  Without
limiting  the  generality  of the foregoing  sentence,  the Bank may  assign  or
otherwise transfer any agreement or any note held by it evidencing,  securing or
otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, or sell participations in
any  interest  therein to any other  person or entity,  and such other person or
entity shall thereupon  become vested,  to the extent set forth in the agreement
evidencing such assignment,  transfer or  participation,  with all the rights in
respect thereof granted to the Bank herein.



     11. AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this
Guaranty  nor  consent to any  departure  by the  Guarantor  therefrom  shall be
effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the Bank. No failure
on the part of the Bank 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.



     12.  NOTICES.  All notices and other  communications  called for  hereunder
shall be made in writing and, unless  otherwise  specifically  provided  herein,
shall be deemed to have been duly made or given when delivered by hand or mailed
first  class mail  postage  prepaid  or, in the case of  telegraphic  or telexed

Bank,  at 100 Federal  Street,  Boston,  Massachusetts  02110,  Attention:  Paul
Chmielinski, or at such address as either party may designate in writing.


     13. GOVERNING LAW;  CONSENT TO  JURISDICTION.  This Guaranty is intended to
take effect as a sealed  instrument  and shall be governed by, and  construed in
accordance  with, the laws of The Commonwealth of  Massachusetts.  The Guarantor
agrees that any suit for the  enforcement of this Guaranty may be brought in the
courts of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts or any Federal Court sitting therein
and consents to the  non-exclusive  jurisdiction of such court and to service of
process in any such suit being made upon the  Guarantor  by mail at the  address
specified in Section 12 hereof.  The Guarantor  hereby waives any objection that
it may now or hereafter  have to the venue of any such suit or any such court or
that such suit was brought in an inconvenient court.


     14.  MISCELLANEOUS.  This Guaranty  constitutes the entire agreement of the
Guarantor with respect to the matters set forth herein.  The rights and remedies
herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided by law
or any other  agreement  and this  Guaranty  shall be in  addition  to any other
guaranty of the Obligations. The invalidity or

under  this  Note.  No  waiver  of any right or any  amendment  hereto  shall be

occasion  bar or waive the  exercise  of any such right on any future  occasion.

and  regardless  of  the adequacy of any  collateral or other means of obtaining
repayment of the Obligations, the Bank is hereby authorized at any time and from
time to time, without notice to the undersigned (any such notice being expressly
waived by the  undersigned)  and to the fullest extent  permitted by law, to set
off and apply  such  deposits  and other  sums  against any  obligations  of the
undersigned  for  which the Due Date has passed; provided,  however,  that  such
right of set off shall not apply to deposits  of  escrow  monies  being  held in
designated  accounts  on  behalf  of  the  Mortgagors  under  Mortgage  Loans or
investors  in  Mortgage  Loans  (with  the capitalized terms  used in the within
proviso  having  the  meanings  ascribed  to  them  in the Loan  Agreement).  In

hereof is sought the rights and remedies of a secured party under  the   Uniform
Commercial Code of Massachusetts.

                  UNLIMITED GUARANTY OF PAYMENT AND PERFORMANCE



     For good and valuable  consideration,  the receipt and sufficiency of which
are  hereby  acknowledged,  and for the  purpose  of seeking to induce THE FIRST
NATIONAL BANK OF BOSTON, a national banking association (hereinafter referred to
as "Lender") to extend credit or otherwise provide  financial  accommodations to
IMC  Corporation  of  America,  a  Delaware  corporation  (hereafter,  with  any
successor,  assign,  or  replacement  hereafter  approved  by  the Bank,  in its
discretion,  referred to as "Customer"), which extension of credit and provision
of  financial  accommodations  will be to the  direct  interest,  advantage  and
benefit of the undersigned.  Industry Mortgage Company, L.P., a Delaware limited
partnership  having its principal  address at 3450 Buschwood  Park Drive,  Suite
250, Tampa,  Florida 33618 (hereinafter  referred to as "Guarantor"),  Guarantor
does hereby agree as follows:


     1.   GUARANTY   OF  PAYMENT   AND   PERFORMANCE.   The   Guarantor   hereby
unconditionally  guarantees  to the Bank the full and punctual  payment when due
(whether at maturity, by acceleration or otherwise), and the performance, of all
liabilities,  agreements  and other  obligations  of the  Customer  to the Bank,
whether  direct or  indirect,  absolute  or  contingent,  due or to become  due,
secured or unsecured,  now existing or hereafter arising or acquired (whether by
way  of  discount,   letter  of  credit,  loan,  overdraft  or  otherwise)  (the
"Obligations").  This  Guaranty is an  absolute,  unconditional  and  continuing
guaranty of the full and punctual payment and performance of the Obligations and
not  of  their  collectibility  only  and  is in no  way  conditioned  upon  any
requirement  that the Bank first attempt to collect any of the Obligations  from
the  Customer  or resort  to any  security  or other  means of  obtaining  their
payment. Should the Customer default in the payment or performance of any of the
Obligations, the obligations of the Guarantor hereunder shall become immediately
due and  payable to the Bank,  without  demand or notice of any  nature,  all of
which are expressly waived by the Guarantor. Payments by the Guarantor hereunder
may be required by the Bank on any number of occasions.


     2.  GUARANTOR'S  AGREEMENT TO PAY. The  Guarantor  further  agrees,  as the
principal  obligor and not as a guarantor  only,  to pay to the Bank, on demand,
all costs and expenses  (including  court costs and legal expenses)  incurred or
expended by the Bank in connection with the  Obligations,  this Guaranty and the
enforcement  thereof,  together with interest on amounts  recoverable under this
Guaranty  from the time such  amounts  become  due until  payment,  at  [certain
confidential  information  has  been  omitted  and  filed  separately  with  the
Commission pursuant to a Request for Confidential  Treatment.]  provided that if
such interest  exceeds the maximum amount  permitted to be paid under applicable
law, then such interest shall be reduced to such maximum permitted amount.




     3. UNLIMITED  GUARANTY.  The liability  of the Guarantor hereunder shall be
unlimited.


     4. WAIVERS BY GUARANTOR:  BANK'S FREEDOM TO ACT. The Guarantor  agrees that
the  Obligations  will be paid and performed  strictly in accordance  with their
respective





<PAGE>

<PAGE>




terms  regardless of any law,  regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in
any  jurisdiction  affecting  any of such  terms or the  rights of the Bank with
respect thereto. The Guarantor waives presentment,  demand,  protest,  notice of
acceptance,  notice of  Obligations  incurred and all other notices of any kind,
all defenses which may be available by virtue of any valuation, stay, moratorium
law or other  similar law now or hereafter  in effect,  any right to require the
marshalling of assets of the Customer,  and all suretyship  defenses  generally.
Without  limiting the generality of the foregoing,  the Guarantor  agrees to the
provisions  of any  instrument  evidencing,  securing or  otherwise  executed in
connection  with any Obligation and agrees that the obligations of the Guarantor
hereunder shall not be released or discharged, in whole or in part, or otherwise
affected  by (i) the  failure  of the Bank to  assert  any claim or demand or to
enforce  any  right or remedy  against  the  Customer;  (ii) any  extensions  or
renewals  of any  Obligation;  (iii) any  rescissions,  waivers,  amendments  or
modifications  of any of the terms or provisions  of any  agreement  evidencing,
securing or  otherwise  executed in  connection  with any  Obligation;  (iv) the
substitution  or release of any entity  primarily or secondarily  liable for any
Obligation;  (v) the  adequacy  of any  rights  the Bank may  have  against  any
collateral or other means of obtaining  repayment of the  Obligations;  (vi) the
impairment  of  any  collateral  securing  the  Obligations,  including  without
limitation  the failure to perfect or preserve any rights the Bank might have in
such collateral or the  substitution,  exchange,  surrender,  release,,  loss or
destruction  of any such  collateral;  or (vii) any other act of omission  which
might in any manner or to any extent vary the risk of the Guarantor or otherwise
operate as a release or  discharge  of the  Guarantor,  all of which may be done
without notice to the Guarantor.



     5.  UNENFORCEABILITY OF OBLIGATIONS AGAINST CUSTOMER. If for any reason the
Customer has no legal existence or is under no legal obligation to discharge any
of the Obligations,  or if any of the Obligations have become irrecoverable from
the Customer by operation of law or for any other reason,  this  Guaranty  shall
nevertheless  be binding on the Guarantor to the same extent as if the Guarantor
at all time has been the principal obligor on all such Obligations. In the event
that  acceleration of the time for payment of the Obligations is stayed upon the
insolvency,  bankruptcy  or  reorganization  of the  Customer,  or for any other
reason,  all such amounts otherwise  subject to acceleration  under the terms of
any agreement evidencing,  securing or otherwise executed in connection with any
Obligation shall be immediately due and payable by the Guarantor.


     6. SUBROGATION:  SUBORDINATION. The Guarantor shall not exercise any rights
against the Customer arising as a result of payment by the Guarantor  hereunder,
by way of subrogation or otherwise,  and will not prove any claim in competition
with  the  Bank  or its  affiliates  in  respect  of any  payment  hereunder  in
bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings of any nature; the Guarantor will not claim
any set-off or counterclaim against the Customer in respect  of any liability of
the Guarantor to the Customer;  and the Guarantor  waives any benefit of and any
right to participate in any collateral which may be held by the Bank or any such
affiliate.  The payment of any amounts due with respect to any  indebtedness  of
the Customer now or hereafter  held by the Guarantor is hereby  subordinated  to
the  prior  payment  in full  of the  Obligations,  provided  that so long as no
default in the payment or  performance  of the  Obligations  has occurred and is
continuing,  or no demand for  payment of any of the  Obligations  has been made
that remains  unsatisfied,  the Customer may make,  and the Guarantor may demand
and


                                      -2-





<PAGE>

<PAGE>



accept, any scheduled payments of principal of and interest on such subordinated
indebtedness  in the  amounts,  at the rates and on the dates  specified in such
instruments,  securities or other writings as shall  evidence such  subordinated
indebtedness.  The Guarantor  agrees that after the occurrence of any default in
the payment or  performance of the  Obligations,  the Guarantor will not demand,
sue for or otherwise attempt to collect any such indebtedness of the Customer to
the  Guarantor  until  the  Obligations  shall  have  been  paid  in  full.  If,
notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Guarantor shall collect,  enforce or
receive  any  amounts in respect of such  indebtedness,  such  amounts  shall be
collected, enforced and received by the Guarantor as trustee for the Bank and be
paid over to the Bank on account of the  Obligations  without  affecting  in any
manner  the  liability  of the  Guarantor  under  the other  provisions  of this
Guaranty.

     7. SECURITY: SET OFF. The Guarantor grants to the Bank, as security for the
full  and  punctual  payment  and  performance  of the  Guarantor's  obligations
hereunder, a continuing lien on and security interest in all securities or other
property belonging to the Guarantor now or hereafter held by the Bank and in all
deposits  (general or special,  time or demand,  provisional or final) and other
sums  credited by or due from the Bank to the Guarantor or subject to withdrawal
by the  Guarantor;  and  regardless  of the adequacy of any  collateral or other
means of obtaining  repayment of the Obligations,  the Bank is hereby authorized
at any time and from time to time,  without  notice to the  Guarantor  (any such
notice  being  expressly  waived by the  Guarantor)  and to the  fullest  extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply such  deposits and other sums against the
obligations of the Guarantor under this Guaranty,  whether or not the Bank shall
have made any demand under this  Guaranty and although such  obligations  may be
contingent or unmatured.


     8. FURTHER  ASSURANCES.  The Guarantor agrees that the Guarantor will, from
time to time at the  request  of the Bank,  provide  to the Bank such  financial
information as the Bank may request, including personal financial statements (on
such forms as the Bank may  prescribe)  and federal and state income tax returns
and such other information relating to the business and affairs of the Guarantor
as the Bank may reasonably request. The Guarantor also agrees, upon demand after
any change in the condition or affairs (financial or otherwise) of the Guarantor
deemed by the Bank to be  adverse  and  material,   to secure  the  payment  and
performance  of  its   obligations   hereunder  by   delivering,   assigning  or
transferring to the Bank or granting the Bank a security  interest in additional
collateral of a value and character satisfactory to the Bank, and authorizes the
Bank to file any  financing  statement  deemed  by the Bank to be  necessary  or
desirable to perfect any security interest granted by the Guarantor to the Bank,
and as agent for the Guarantor,  to sign the name of the Guarantor thereto.  The
Guarantor  also agrees to do all such  things and  execute  all such  documents,
including financing statements,  as the Bank may consider necessary or desirable
to give full effect to this  Guaranty and to perfect and preserve the rights and
powers of the Bank hereunder.


     9. TERMINATION: REINSTATEMENT. This Guaranty shall remain in full force and
effect until the Bank is given written  notice of the  Guarantor's  intention to
discontinue this Guaranty, notwithstanding any intermediate or temporary payment
or settlement of the whole or any part of the Obligations. No such  notice shall
be effective  unless received and  acknowledged by an officer of the Bank at its
head office or at the branch of the Bank where this Guaranty is



                                      -3-





<PAGE>

<PAGE>



given.  No such notice shall  affect any rights of the Bank or of any  affiliate
hereunder including,  without limitation, the rights set forth in Sections 4 and
6, with respect to  Obligations  incurred prior to the receipt of such notice or
Obligations  incurred  pursuant to any contract or commitment in existence prior
to such receipt,  and all checks,  drafts,  notes,  instruments  (negotiable  or
otherwise)  and writings made by or for the account of the Customer and drawn on
the Bank or any of its  agents  purporting  to be dated on or before the date of
such receipt of such notice,  although  presented to and paid or accepted by the
Bank after that date,  shall form part of the  Obligations.  This Guaranty shall
continue to be effective or be reinstated,  notwithstanding  any such notice, if
at any time any payment made or value  received with respect to an Obligation is
rescinded  or must  otherwise  be  returned  by the Bank  upon  the  insolvency,
bankruptcy or reorganization of the Customer,  or otherwise,  all as though such
payment had not been made or value received.


     10.  SUCCESSORS  AND  ASSIGNS.  This  Guaranty  shall be  binding  upon the
Guarantor,  its successors and assigns, and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Bank and its  successors,  transferees  and assigns.  Without
limiting  the  generality  of the  foregoing  sentence,  the Bank may  assign or
otherwise transfer any agreement or any note held by it evidencing,  securing or
otherwise executed in connection with the Obligations, or sell participations in
any interest  therein,  to any other person or entity,  and such other person or
entity shall thereupon become vested,  to the extent set forth  in the agreement

<PAGE>

Termination  Date;  provided that the Funding  Termination  Date may be extended
from time to time, in the sole and absolute  discretion of the Lender,  upon (i)
the  execution  and  delivery by the parties  hereto of a Notice of Extension of
Agreement  substantially  in the form of Exhibit  B-1 annexed  hereto,  (ii) the
delivery to the Lender of an opinion of counsel to the  Borrowers  substantially
in the form of  Exhibit  B-2  annexed  hereto  and (iii) in  connection  with an
increase  of the  Maximum  Funding  Amount  to an amount  greater  than the then
maximum  principal amount of the Secured Note, the execution and delivery by the
parties hereto of an Endorsement to the Secured Note,  substantially in the form
of Exhibit B-3 hereto.

               (b) If a  Borrower  wishes  to  receive  an  Advance,  then  such
Borrower  shall give the Lender  written  notice by no later than 5:00 p.m. (New
York City time) on the third  Business Day prior to the related  Funding Date of
the amount of such Advance to be requested on such Funding Date by  delivering a
Notice of Borrowing  substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto, and
the  Custodian  shall have  delivered a Trust Receipt and  Certification  to the
Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the Business Day prior to
the related  Funding  Date.  Notwithstanding  the  foregoing,  at its option,  a
Borrower may request an Advance by giving the Lender  written notice by no later
than 10:30 a.m.  (New York City time) on the related  Funding Date of the amount
of such Advance to be  requested on such Funding Date by  delivering a Notice of
Borrowing  substantially  in the form of  Exhibit  D  attached  hereto,  and the
Custodian shall have delivered a Trust Receipt and  Certification  to the Lender
no later than 2:30 p.m.  (New York City  time) on the  Funding  Date;  provided,
however,  that any such Advance shall accrue  interest at the Federal Funds Rate
plus the  Applicable  Spread from the related  Funding Date to but excluding the
related Maturity Date.

               (c) Each Advance  shall bear  interest  from the related  Funding
Date to but  excluding  the  Maturity  Date for such Advance at a per annum rate
equal to Adjusted LIBOR plus the Applicable Spread and thereafter as provided in
Section 3(e); provided, however, that if, at any time, the making or continuance
of any Advance has become unlawful or  impracticable by compliance of the Lender
in good faith with any law, governmental rule,  regulation,  guideline or order,
or has become  impracticable  as a result of a contingency  occurring  after the
date of this  Agreement  which  materially  and  adversely  affects  the  London
interbank Eurodollar market, then during such period, interest on Advances shall
be  calculated  at a per annum  rate  equal to the  Federal  Funds Rate plus the
Applicable Spread.  Interest on each Advance shall be calculated on the basis of
the actual number of days elapsed in a year consisting of 360 days.  Interest on
each  Advance  shall be paid on each  Interest  Payment Date and on the Maturity
Date for such Advance. In the event that an Advance is not repaid in full on the
date when due, interest thereafter shall be payable on demand.

               (d) Subject to the next  succeeding  sentence,  all  Advances are
prepayable,  in whole or in part,  at any time without  premium or penalty.  Any
amounts  prepaid shall be applied to repay the outstanding  principal  amount of
any Advances  (together with accrued and unpaid interest  thereon) until paid in
full.  If a  Borrower  intends  to prepay an  Advance in whole or in part from a
source other than the proceeds of a  Securitization  or  Designated  Sale,  such
Borrower shall give two Business  Days' prior notice thereof to the Lender.  The
Borrowers shall  compensate the Lender,  upon its written request (which request
shall set forth in reasonable 




                                       9

detail the basis for  requesting  such  amounts),  for all losses,  expenses and
liabilities  (other than loss of profits) which such Lender may sustain:  (i) if
for any reason  (other than a default by such  Lender) an Advance does not occur
on  a  date  specified  therefor  in a  Notice  of  Borrowing  (whether  or  not
withdrawn),  (ii) in  connection  with any  prepayment of Advances or (iii) as a
consequence  of any other  Default or Event of Default by the Borrowers to repay
their Advances when required by the terms of this Agreement.

               (e) If an Advance is not repaid in whole on the related  Maturity
Date, such unpaid Advance shall, commencing on such date, bear interest at a per
annum rate equal to Adjusted LIBOR plus the Default Spread until repaid.

               (f) The Advances shall be evidenced  collectively  by the Secured
Note.  The amount of each  Advance and the date and amount of each  repayment of
principal thereof shall be forwarded by the Lender to the related  Borrower,  by
facsimile  transmission upon request therefor,  and shall be conclusive evidence
of the accuracy of such amounts (absent manifest error).

               (g) Not more than  2.0% of the  Mortgage  Loans  (by  outstanding
principal  balance)  are  delinquent  in  respect  of  two or  more  contractual
payments.

               (h) (i) If, due to either (A) the  introduction of, or any change
in the  administration  or  interpretation  of,  any  law,  rule  or  regulation
(domestic or foreign) or (B) the  compliance  with any  directive,  guideline or
request  from any  central  bank or other  governmental  or  monetary  authority
(whether  or not  having  the force of law)  promulgated  or made after the date
hereof,  (1)  there  shall  be an  increase  in the  cost to the  Lender  or any
transferee  of making,  funding or  maintaining  its  commitment  or any Advance
(including, without limitation, as a result of the imposition or modification of
any reserve,  special  deposit or similar  requirement  or any assessment by the
FDIC against the Advances) or (2) any amount  receivable by the Lender hereunder
shall be reduced or the Lender shall be required to make a payment calculated by
reference to the principal of, or interest on, any Advance or any fee payable to
it,  then the  Borrowers  shall,  from time to time,  upon demand by the Lender,
which demand shall be accompanied by reasonable  documentation  of the basis for
and calculation of the amount of such demand,  pay the Lender additional amounts
sufficient to compensate the Lender or any  transferee for such increased  cost,
reduction or payment;  and (ii) if either (A) the introduction of, or any change
in the  administration  or  interpretation  of,  any  law,  rule  or  regulation
(domestic or foreign) or (B) the  compliance  with any  directive,  guideline or
request  (including,  any law, rule,  regulation,  interpretation,  guideline or
request  contemplated  by or arising out of the report dated July 1988  entitled
"International  Convergence of Capital Measurement and Capital Standards" issued
by the Basle Committee on Banking  Regulations  and Supervisory  Practices) from
any central bank or other  governmental  or monetary  authority  (whether or not
having the force of law)  promulgated  or made after the date hereof  affects or
would affect the amount of capital  required or expected to be maintained by the
Lender and the Lender  reasonably  determines that the amount of such capital is
increased  by or based upon the  existence  of the  Lender's  agreement  to make
Advances  hereunder  (taking into account the Lender's  policies with respect to
capital  adequacy),  then  upon  demand by the  Lender,  which  demand  shall be





                                       10

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

accompanied by reasonable  documentation of the basis for and calculation of the
amount  of such  demand,  the  Borrowers  shall  immediately  pay to the  Lender
additional  amounts sufficient to compensate the Lender for such increased costs
in  light of such  circumstances,  to the  extent  that  the  Lender  reasonably
determines  such  increase in capital to be  allocable  to the  existence of the
Lender's  agreements  hereunder  (taking into account the Lender's policies with
respect to capital adequacy).

               (i) If any  payment  hereunder  becomes due and  payable,  or any
action  hereunder is required to be taken,  on a day other than a Business  Day,
the date for such  payment or action  shall be extended  to the next  succeeding
Business Day and, with respect to payments of principal,  interest thereon shall
accrue at the then applicable rate during such extension.

               (j) If at  any  time  Lender  notifies  the  Borrowers  that  the
aggregate  outstanding  principal  amount of all  Advances  exceeds  the Maximum
Amount  Advanced,  the  Borrowers  shall no later  than one  Business  Day after
receipt of notice of such excess,  either  prepay such Advances  (together  with
accrued and unpaid  interest  thereon) in whole or in part or pledge  additional
Collateral to the Lender,  such that after giving  effect to such  prepayment or
pledge the  aggregate  outstanding  principal  amount of all  Advances  does not
exceed the Maximum Amount Advanced.

               SECTION 4. Purpose of Advances.  Each Advance  shall be used only
as interim  financing for the  origination or  acquisition of Eligible  Mortgage
Loans; provided, however, that to the extent that the Maximum Amount Advanced is
greater  than the  outstanding  principal  amount of  aggregate  Advances on the
related  Funding  Date,  such Advance (to the extent of such excess) may be used
for general corporate purposes.

               SECTION 5. Mortgage Files and Custodian; Secured Obligations. (a)
In  connection  with each  Advance,  the related  Borrower  shall deliver to the
Custodian,  on behalf of the Lender,  the  documents and  instruments  listed in
Section 2 of the Custodial  Agreement,  and such Borrower shall further cause to
be delivered to the Custodian the  documents  and  instruments  described in the
last  sentence  of  Section 2 of the  Custodial  Agreement  as and to the extent
required to be delivered to the Custodian pursuant thereto. The related Borrower
shall cause the Custodian to hold the Mortgage  Loan  Documents on behalf of the
Lender  pursuant  to  terms of the  Custodial  Agreement  and  shall  cause  the
Custodian  to deliver to the Lender a Trust  Receipt  and  Certification  to the
effect that it has reviewed such Mortgage Loan Documents in the manner  required
by the Custodial  Agreement and  identifying  any  deficiencies in such Mortgage
Loan Documents as so reviewed.

               (b) The Borrowers hereby pledge and grant a security  interest in
all of their  respective  right,  title and interest in and to the Collateral to
the Lender to secure the  repayment of the Secured  Obligations.  The  Borrowers
agree to mark  their  computer  records  and  tapes  to  evidence  the  security
interests granted to the Lender hereunder.

               SECTION  6.  Representations  and  Warranties.  (a)  Each  of the
Borrowers  represents and warrants to the Lender as of the date hereof and as of
each date thereafter that:

                     (i) Organization. The Parent has been duly organized and is
        validly  existing as a limited  partnership  in good standing  under the
        laws of the State of Delaware or the  Subsidiary has been duly organized
        and is validly existing as a corporation in good standing under the laws
        of the State of Delaware, as the case may be.

                     (ii) Power and Authority. Each of the Transaction Documents
        has been duly  authorized,  executed and delivered by the Borrower,  all
        requisite action having been taken, and each is legal, valid and binding
        and enforceable against the Borrower in accordance with its terms.

                     (iii)  Solvency.  The  Borrower  is solvent and will not be
        rendered insolvent by the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and
        the  other  Transaction  Documents  and,  after  giving  effect  to such
        transactions,  the Borrower will not be left with an unreasonably  small
        amount of capital  with which to engage in its  business.  The  Borrower
        does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred,  debts beyond
        its  ability to pay such debts as they  mature.  The  Borrower  does not
        contemplate the commencement of insolvency,  bankruptcy,  liquidation or
        consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver,  liquidator,
        conservator,  trustee or similar  official in respect of the Borrower or
        any of its assets.

                     (iv)  Financial  Statements.  All  financial  statements or
        certificates  of the  Borrower or any of its  officers  furnished to the
        Lender  are true and  complete,  except  to the  extent  that  quarterly
        financial statements are subject to normal year-end adjustments,  and do
        not omit to disclose any material liabilities or other facts relevant to
        the  Borrower's  condition.  Since the date of the financial  statements
        that were  delivered to the Lender,  there has been no material  adverse
        change with  respect to the  Borrower's  financial  condition.  All such
        financial  statements  have been  prepared in  accordance  with GAAP. No
        financial  statement or other  financial  information as of a date later
        than  September  30,  1995,  has been  furnished  by the Borrower to any
        lender that has not been furnished to the Lender.

                     (v) Consents, Etc. No consent,  approval,  authorization or
        order of,  registration  or filing with,  or notice to any  governmental
        authority or court is required under  applicable law in connection  with
        the  execution,   delivery  and  performance  by  the  Borrower  of  the
        Transaction Documents,  where the failure to obtain any of the foregoing
        would materially adversely affect the business, operations,  property or
        financial condition of the Borrower taken as a whole, the ability of the
        Borrower to perform their obligations under the Transaction Documents or
        the validity or enforceability of the Transaction  Documents,  except as
        have been obtained and are in full force and effect.

                     (vi)  Pending  Proceedings.  There are no  actions,  suits,
        proceedings  or  investigations  pending,  or, to the  knowledge  of the
        Borrower, threatened, against or




                                       12

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


        affecting the Borrower in any court or before any governmental authority
        or arbitration board or tribunal (i) that might materially and adversely
        affect the ability of the Borrower to perform its obligations  under any
        of the Transaction Documents or (ii) that might materially and adversely
        affect the enforceability of any Transaction Document.

                     (vii) No Adverse Change. There has been no material adverse
        change in the business, operations,  financial condition,  properties or
        prospects of the Borrower since September 30, 1995.

                     (viii) No  Default;  No  Conflict.  The  Borrower is not in
        default under any mortgage,  borrowing  agreement or other instrument or
        agreement  pertaining to Indebtedness  for borrowed  money.  Neither the
        execution  and  delivery of each of the  Transaction  Documents  nor the
        performance  of the Borrower's  obligations  thereunder (i) will violate
        any  provision  of any  law,  statute,  or  order  of  any  governmental
        authority in any respect  material to the  transactions  contemplated in
        the Transaction Documents,  (ii) requires the consent or approval of any
        Person  that has not  been  obtained  as of the date of this  Agreement,
        (iii)  contravenes the  organizational  documentation of the Borrower or
        (iv) will conflict  with,  result in a breach of or constitute a default
        under any agreement or other instrument to which the Borrower is a party
        or by which it is bound.

                     (ix)  Priority of Security  Interest.  Upon  receipt by the
        Custodian  of the Mortgage  Notes with respect to any Mortgage  Loan and
        for so long as the Custodian maintains actual physical possession of the
        Mortgage Notes, the Custodian shall have, for the benefit of the Lender,
        a  fully-perfected  first  priority  security  interest in such Mortgage
        Notes.

                     (x) ERISA Compliance.  The Borrower is in compliance in all
        material  respects with the requirements of ERISA. The Borrower does not
        maintain  or  contribute  to any Plan  and does not have any  withdrawal
        liability in connection  with a "Multi-Employer  Plan"  as  such term is
        defined in Section 4001(a)(3) of ERISA.

                     (xi) Taxes and Assessments.  All federal,  state, local and
        foreign tax returns,  reports and statements required to be filed by the
        Borrower have been filed with the appropriate governmental authority and
        all charges and other  impositions  shown  thereon to be due and payable
        have been paid prior to the date on which any fine, penalty, interest or
        late charge may be added  thereto for  nonpayment  thereof,  or any such
        fine, penalty, interest, late charge or loss has been paid. The Borrower
        has paid when due and  payable  all  charges  required to be paid by it.
        Proper and accurate  amounts have been withheld by the Borrower from its
        employees for all periods in full and complete  compliance with the tax,
        social security and  unemployment  withholding  provisions of applicable
        federal,  state,  local and foreign law and such  withholdings have been
        timely paid to the respective  governmental  agencies.  The Borrower has
        not  executed or filed with the  Internal  Revenue  Service or any other
        governmental  authority any agreement or other  document  extending,  or
        having the effect of extending,  the period for assessment or collection
        of any charges.  The  Borrower has not agreed or been  



                                       13

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


        requested to make any  adjustment  under  Internal  Revenue Code Section
        481(a)  by reason of a change in  accounting  method or  otherwise.  The
        Borrower  does not have any  obligation  under any  written  tax sharing
        agreement.

                     Notwithstanding the immediately  preceding  paragraph,  the
        Borrower  shall,  at their own  expense,  be  entitled  to  contest  the
        imposition of any tax or other charge or  imposition  of a  governmental
        authority.

                     (xii)   Not Foreign Person.  The Borrower is not a "foreign
        person" within the meaning of Section 1445(f)(3) of the Internal Revenue
        Code.

                     (xiii)  Investment  Company  Act.  The  Borrower  is not an
        "investment  company"  or  a  company  "controlled"  by  an  "investment
        company,"  within the meaning of the Investment  Company Act of 1940, as
        amended. None of the making of the Advances by the Lender hereunder, the
        application of the proceeds and repayment thereof by the Borrower or the
        consummation  of  the  transactions   contemplated  by  the  Transaction
        Documents will violate any provision of such Act or any rule, regulation
        or order issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

                     (xiv) Material Facts.  The Borrower has disclosed to Lender
        all material  facts and has not failed to disclose any material  fact in
        each case that could cause any representation or warranty made herein to
        be materially misleading.

                     (xv)  Existence.  The  Borrower,  at all  times  since  its
        formation,  has (i) been a duly formed and existing limited partnership,
        in the  case  of the  Parent,  (ii)  been a  duly  formed  and  existing
        corporation,  in the case of the  Subsidiary,  (iii)  complied  with the
        provisions  of its  organizational  documentation  and  the  laws of the
        jurisdiction  of its  organization,  (iv)  observed all  material  legal
        requirements   regarding  its  existence  in  Delaware,  (v)  accurately
        maintained in all material respects its financial statements, accounting
        records  and other books and  records  separate  from those of any other
        Person,  (vi)  accurately  maintained its own bank accounts and separate
        books of account,  (vii) paid its own liabilities  from its own separate
        assets,  and (viii)  identified  itself in all dealings with the public,
        under its own name and as a separate and distinct  entity,  and not as a
        division or a part of any other entity. The Borrower has not at any time
        since  its  formation  commingled  its  assets  with  those of any other
        Person.

                     (xvi)  Compliance  with Laws.  The Borrower has complied in
        all material respects with all federal,  state and local laws, rules and
        regulations  applicable  to them,  their  assets or the conduct of their
        respective businesses.

                     (xvii) Margin  Regulations.  The Advances will not be used,
        directly or  indirectly,  for the purpose of  purchasing or carrying any
        "margin  security" as that term is defined in Regulations G and U of the
        Board of Governors of the Federal  Reserve System (the "Federal  Reserve
        Board"),  for the purpose of reducing or retiring any indebtedness  that
        was originally  incurred to purchase or carry any margin security or for





                                       14

<PAGE>
<PAGE>



        any other  purpose  that  might  cause any  Advance to be  considered  a
        "purpose  credit"  within the meaning of Regulations G, T, U or X of the
        Federal  Reserve Board.  The Borrowers will not take or permit any agent
        acting  on their  behalf  to take  any  action  that  might  cause  this
        Agreement or any document or  instrument  delivered  pursuant  hereto to
        violate any regulation of the Federal Reserve Board.


               (b)  With  respect  to  each  Mortgage  Loan  delivered  or to be
delivered  to the  Custodian  and as of the related  Funding  Date,  the related
Borrower  makes the  representations  and  warranties  set forth in  Schedule  1
hereof.

               SECTION 7. Rights of Lender; Limitations on Lender's Obligations.
(a) Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, each of the Borrowers shall
remain liable under each of the Mortgage  Loan  Documents to which it is a party
to observe and perform all the  conditions  and  obligations  to be observed and
performed by it thereunder, all in accordance with and pursuant to the terms and
provisions of each such Mortgage  Loan  Document.  The Lender shall not have any
obligation or liability under any Mortgage Loan Document by reason of or arising
out of this  Agreement  or the receipt by the Lender of any payment  relating to
such Mortgage Loan Document  pursuant hereto,  nor shall the Lender be obligated
in any manner to perform any of the obligations of either of the Borrowers under
or pursuant to any Mortgage  Loan  Document,  to make any  payment,  to make any
inquiry as to the nature or the sufficiency of any payment  received by it or as
to the  sufficiency  of any  performance  by any party under any  Mortgage  Loan
Document,  to  present or file any  claim,  to take any  action to  enforce  any
performance  or to  collect  the  payment  of any  amounts  which  may have been
assigned to it or to which it may be entitled at any time or times.

               (b)  Upon  the  request  of the  Lender  at any  time  after  the
occurrence of an Event of  Termination  or after the  occurrence  and during the
continuance of an Event of Default, the related Borrower shall notify parties to
the Mortgage Loan  Documents that the Mortgage Loan Documents have been assigned
to the Lender and that payments in respect thereof shall be made directly to the
Lender. The Lender may in its own name or in the name of others communicate with
parties to the Mortgage Loan  Documents to verify with them to its  satisfaction
the existence, amount and terms of any Mortgage Loan Documents.

               SECTION 8. Covenants.  Each of the Borrowers covenants and agrees
with the  Lender  that,  from and  after  the date of this  Agreement  until the
obligations,  including,  without limitation,  the Secured  Obligations,  of the
Borrowers hereunder and under the Secured Note are paid in full:

               (a)  Further  Documentation.  At any time and from  time to time,
        upon the written  request of the Lender,  and at the sole expense of the
        Borrower,  the Borrower  will promptly and duly execute and deliver such
        further  instruments  and documents and take such further  action as the
        Lender may reasonably request for the purpose of obtaining or preserving
        the full benefits of this  Agreement and of the rights and powers herein
        granted,  including,  without limitation, the filing of any financing or
        continuation  statements under the Uniform  Commercial Code in effect in
        any jurisdiction with respect 



                                       15

<PAGE>
<PAGE>



        to the security  interests  created  hereby.  The  Borrower  also hereby
        authorizes  the  Lender  to file  any  such  financing  or  continuation
        statement  without the signature of the Borrower to the extent permitted
        by  applicable  law.  Lender will promptly give notice of such filing to
        Borrower. A carbon, photographic or other reproduction of this Agreement
        shall  be  sufficient  as  a  financing  statement  for  filing  in  any
        jurisdiction.

               (b)  Limitation  on Liens on  Collateral.  The Borrower  will not
        create,  incur or permit to exist,  will defend the Collateral  against,
        and will take such other  action as is  necessary  to remove,  any lien,
        security  interest  or claim  on or to the  Collateral,  other  than the
        security  interests created hereby, and will defend the right, title and
        interest  of the  Lender  in and to any of the  Collateral  against  the
        claims and demands of all Persons whomsoever.

               (c)  Limitations  on  Modifications,  Waivers and  Extensions  of
        Mortgage  Loan  Documents.  The  Borrower  will not (i)  amend,  modify,
        terminate or waive any  provision of any Mortgage Loan Document to which
        the Borrower is a party in any manner which could reasonably be expected
        to materially  adversely affect the value of such Mortgage Loan Document
        as  Collateral  (including,  without  limitation,  changing the mortgage
        rate,   reducing  or  increasing  the  principal   balance  (except  for
        reductions  resulting  from actual  payments of principal) or change the
        final maturity date of Mortgage Loans),  (ii) fail to exercise  promptly
        and diligently each and every material right which the Borrower may have
        under  each  such  Mortgage  Loan  Document  (other  than  any  right of
        termination)  where the  failure  to so act could  materially  adversely
        affect the  Collateral  relating to such Mortgage Loan Document or (iii)
        fail to deliver to the Lender a copy of each material demand,  notice or
        document  received by it relating in any way to any such  Mortgage  Loan
        Document other than any such demand,  notice or document relating to the
        delinquency of a Mortgage Loan Document or the bankruptcy of the obligor
        thereunder.

               (d) Further Identification of Collateral;  Financial Information.
        The Borrower will furnish to the Lender from time to time statements and
        schedules  further  identifying  and  describing the Collateral and such
        other  reports  in  connection  with the  Collateral  as the  Lender may
        reasonably request,  all in reasonable detail. In connection  therewith,
        on each Interest  Payment Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender
        (i) the most recently  updated computer tape containing such statistical
        information  as  the  Lender  shall   reasonably   request  and  (ii)  a
        certificate from an Authorized Representative of the Borrower containing
        information  relating to the delinquency status of the Mortgage Loans at
        the end of the immediately  preceding calendar month. Such computer tape
        and  certification  shall  be  further  updated  from  time  to  time as
        reasonably  requested by the Lender to the Borrower in writing. Any such
        revisions  by  the  Lender  shall  be  provided  to  the  Borrower  with
        sufficient  advance notice in order to enable the Borrower to deliver to
        the  Lender  the  revised   computer  tape  and   certification  on  the
        immediately  succeeding Interest Payment Date. The Borrower will furnish
        to the  Lender  from time to time  financial  statements  and such other
        business  reports  relating to the Borrower as the Lender may reasonably
        request, all in reasonable detail.




                                       16

<PAGE>
<PAGE>



               (e) Limitation on  Foreclosure.  The Borrower will not take title
        to any real  property  securing a Mortgage  Loan,  whether by means of a
        foreclosure  action (judicial or non-judicial),  acceptance of a deed in
        lieu of foreclosure,  or otherwise,  without the express written consent
        of the Lender.

               (f) Notices.  The Borrower  will notify the Lender  promptly,  in
        reasonable  detail and in accordance  with Section 23 of this Agreement,
        (i) of any lien or  security  interest  (other than  security  interests
        created  hereby) on, or claim asserted  against,  any of the Collateral,
        (ii) of the  occurrence  of any other event which  could  reasonably  be
        expected to have a material adverse effect on the aggregate value of the
        Collateral or on the security interests created hereunder,  and (iii) of
        the existence of circumstances requiring the Borrower, or permitting the
        Lender to require the Borrower,  to prepay the Advances  pursuant to the
        terms hereof.

               (g) Compliance with Law; Books and Records;  Inspections.  At all
        times during the  existence of this  Agreement and until payment in full
        of the  Secured  Obligations,  the  Borrower  will not commit any act in
        violation  of  applicable  laws,  or  regulations  promulgated  pursuant
        thereto.  The Borrower shall keep adequate  records and books of account
        with respect to its business activities in which proper entries are made
        in accordance  with  industry  standards so as to enable the Borrower to
        file its  financial  statements in  accordance  with GAAP,  consistently
        applied,  reflecting  all  its  material  financial  transactions.   The
        Borrower shall, upon reasonable  notice,  permit  representatives of the
        Lender, from time to time, as often as may be reasonably requested,  but
        only during normal business hours, to inspect and make extracts from its
        books  and  records,  and  discuss  with  its  executive  officers,  its
        employees and its  independent  accountants,  the  Borrower's  business,
        assets, liabilities, financial condition, business prospects and results
        of operations.

               (h) Transactions with Affiliates.  The Borrower only shall engage
        in  transactions  with its Affiliates that are in the ordinary course of
        business  of the  Borrower  and  shall be on terms  equivalent  to those
        obtainable in arm's length transactions.

               (i)  Distributions.  The  Borrower  shall not declare or make any
        distributions  of any of its  assets,  income or  profits  to any of its
        partners  if (i) an Event of  Termination  has  occurred  or an Event of
        Default exists and is continuing or (ii) such distributions  would cause
        the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default.

               (j) New Place of  Business.  The  Borrower  shall not  change its
        principal  place of business or chief executive  office,  except upon at
        least 30 days' prior written notice to the Lender and after the delivery
        to Lender of financing  statements,  if required by  applicable  law, in
        form satisfactory to the Lender to perfect or continue the perfection of
        Lender's liens and security interest under this Agreement.

               (k)  New  Businesses.  Borrower  shall  not  enter  into  any new
        business or make any material change in any of its business  objectives,
        purposes and operations as set forth in its organizational documentation
        as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.

               (l)  Fictitious  Name,  etc.  The  Borrower  shall  not  use  any
        fictitious name or "d/b/a"  (unless,  after notice to the Lender and the
        execution  and  filing  of any  financing  statements  requested  by the
        Lender,  required  in order to qualify to do  business  in any state) or
        fail to hold  itself out to the public as a legal  entity  separate  and

        Person,  unless the Borrower is the  surviving  entity of such merger or
        consolidation  and such  merger  or  consolidation  would  not  create a
        material  adverse  change in the  financial  status of the  Borrower  as

        The  Borrower  shall not change its  accounting  policies  or  reporting
        practices,  except as required by GAAP,  if such change  would result in

        parties under the provisions of the NY UCC.

                   (ii)  Institute  legal  proceedings  to  foreclose  upon  and
        against the lien and security  interest  granted by this  Agreement,  to

        Collateral,  sell and dispose of, or cause to be sold and  disposed  of,
        all or any  part of the  Collateral  at one or more  public  or  private
        sales, or other dispositions, at such places and times and on such terms
        and conditions and in such order as the Lender may deem fit, without any
        previous demand or advertisement but with reasonable notification to the
        Borrower of any such sale or other disposal.  The  specification in this
        Section 15 of manners of disposition of collateral as being commercially
        reasonable shall not preclude the use of other  commercially  reasonable
        methods (as contemplated by the NY UCC) at the option of the Lender.

               (d) Any notice of sale or other  disposition,  advertisement  and
other notice or demand,  any right or equity of redemption and any obligation of
a  prospective  purchaser to inquire as to the power and authority of the Lender
to sell or otherwise  dispose of the Collateral or as to the  application of the
proceeds  of sale or  otherwise,  which  would  otherwise  be  required  by,  or

the Borrowers to the fullest extent permitted by such law.

               (e) At any sale  pursuant to this  Agreement,  whether  under the
power of sale or by virtue of judicial  proceedings,  it shall not be  necessary
for the  Lender  or a public  officer  under  order  of a court to have  present
physical or  constructive  possession of the Collateral to be sold. The recitals
contained in any  conveyances  and receipts made and given by the Lender or such
public  officer to any  purchaser  at any sale made  pursuant to this  Agreement
shall,  to the extent  permitted by applicable law,  conclusively  establish the
truth and accuracy of the matters therein stated  (including,  without  limiting
the generality of the foregoing, the amount of the principal and interest of the
Secured  Obligations,  the accrual and nonpayment  thereof and advertisement and
conduct of such sale in the manner  provided  herein and by applicable  law) and
all  prerequisites  to such sale shall be  presumed to have been  satisfied  and
performed.  Upon any sale  hereunder  of any of the  Collateral  or any interest
therein,  the receipt of the officer 



                                       24

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


making such sale under judicial proceedings or of the Lender shall be sufficient
discharge to the purchaser for the purchase price and such  purchaser  shall not
be obligated to see to the application thereof. Any sale hereunder of any of the
Collateral or any interest  therein shall forever be a perpetual bar against the
Borrowers with respect to such Collateral.

               (f) All moneys  received or collected  by the Lender  pursuant to
this Agreement  shall be applied first,  to the payment of all costs incurred in
the collection of such moneys  (including  reasonable  attorneys' fees and legal
expenses),  second,  to the payment of interest  due under the Secured  Note and
fees due  hereunder,  third,  to the  principal  balance of the Secured Note and
fourth,  to any other costs and  expenses  due to the Lender from the  Borrowers
hereunder.  The balance,  if any, of such moneys remaining after payment in full
of the Obligations  shall be remitted to the Borrowers or as otherwise  directed
by a court of competent jurisdiction.

               (g) The Lender or anyone else may bid and be the purchaser of any
or all of the  Collateral so sold and shall hold the same  thereafter in its own
right,  free from any claim of the  Borrowers  or any  other  person;  provided,
however,   that  any  such  purchase  shall  be  pursuant  to  an   arm's-length
transaction.  Any sale hereunder may be conducted by an officer of the Lender or
any other party so authorized.

               (h) Upon the  occurrence of a Default,  an Event of Default or an
Event of Termination or at such other time as the Lender in its sole  discretion
shall  determine  that there has been a material  adverse change in the business
operations  or financial  condition of either of the  Borrowers,  the  Borrowers
hereby  authorize the Lender in its discretion at any time and from time to time
to complete any assignment of a mortgage which  heretofore  was, or hereafter at
any time may be,  executed and  delivered  by the related  Borrower to Lender so
that such assignment  describes a mortgage that is security for the Secured Note
now or hereafter at any time constituting Collateral and to record the same, the
cost and expense of any such recording to be paid by the Borrowers, and complete
any other  assignment or  endorsement  that was delivered in blank  hereunder or
under the Custodial Agreement or pursuant to the terms hereof or pursuant to the
terms of the Custodial Agreement.

               SECTION 16.  Indemnification and Expenses.  Each of the Borrowers
(the  "Indemnifying  Parties") shall indemnify,  protect and hold Lender and its
parent,    subsidiaries    Affiliates,     directors,    officers,    employees,
representatives,   agents,   successors   and   attorneys   (collectively,   the
"Indemnified  Parties")  harmless  from  and  against  any and all  liabilities,
obligations,  losses, damages,  penalties,  actions,  judgments,  suits, claims,
costs and expenses,  including,  without limitation,  reasonable attorneys' fees
and legal expenses,  whether or not suit is brought,  and settlement  costs, and
disbursements of any kind or nature  whatsoever that may be imposed on, incurred
by or  asserted  against  the  Indemnified  Parties,  in any way  relating to or
arising out of the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
therein (collectively, the "Indemnified Liabilities"), to the extent that any of
the  Indemnified  Liabilities  results,  directly or indirectly,  from any claim
made,  whether or not in connection with any legal action,  suit, or proceeding,
by or on behalf of any  Person.  However,  no  Indemnified  Party shall have the
right to be indemnified  hereunder for its own or any other Indemnified  Party's
gross  



                                       25

negligence  or willful  misconduct.  The  Borrowers  also agree to reimburse the
Lender  for  all  its  costs  and  expenses  incurred  in  connection  with  the
enforcement  or  the  preservation  of  the  Lender's  rights  under  any of the
Transaction  Documents  or  any  transaction  contemplated  hereby  or  thereby,
including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.
The Borrowers hereby acknowledge that, notwithstanding the fact that the Secured
Note is secured by the  Collateral,  the  obligation of the Borrowers  under the
Secured Note is a recourse obligation of the Borrowers.

               The Indemnifying  Parties shall be entitled to appoint counsel of
the  Indemnifying  Party's  choice  at  the  Indemnifying  Parties'  expense  to
represent any of the Indemnified Parties in any action for which indemnification
is sought  (in which  case the  Indemnifying  Parties  shall not  thereafter  be
responsible  for the fees and expenses of any separate  counsel  retained by the
Indemnified  Parties except as set forth below);  provided,  however,  that such
counsel   shall   be   satisfactory   to  the   related   Indemnified   Parties.
Notwithstanding  the Indemnifying  Parties'  election to appoint counsel for the
Indemnified  Parties in an action, the Indemnified  Parties shall have the right
to employ  separate  counsel  (including  local counsel),  and the  Indemnifying
Parties  shall bear the  reasonable  fees,  costs and expenses of such  separate
counsel  if (i)  the  use of  counsel  chosen  by the  Indemnifying  Parties  to
represent the Indemnified  Parties would present such counsel with a conflict of
interest,  (ii) the actual or potential  defendants  in, or targets of, any such
action include both an Indemnified  Party and the  Indemnifying  Parties and the
related  Indemnified  Party shall have  reasonably  concluded  that there may be
defenses  available  to it that  are  different  from  or  additional  to  those
available to the Indemnifying Parties,  (iii) the Indemnifying Parties shall not
have employed counsel  satisfactory to the related  Indemnified Parties within a
reasonable  time after the notice of the  institution  of such action,  (iv) the
related  Indemnified  Parties shall have  reasonably  concluded that, due to the
financial condition of the Indemnifying  Parties, not employing separate counsel
would have a material adverse effect on the outcome of such action as it relates
to such Indemnified Parties, or (v) the Indemnifying Parties shall authorize the
Lender  and/or  other  Indemnified  Parties  to employ  separate  counsel at the
expense of the Indemnifying  Parties. The Indemnifying Parties will not, without
the prior  written  consent  of the  Lender  and all other  Indemnified  Parties
involved in the related action,  settle or compromise or consent to the entry of
any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened  claim,  action,  suit or
proceeding in respect of which  indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether
or not the Indemnified  Parties are actual or potential parties to such claim or
action) unless such settlement,  compromise or consent includes an unconditional
release of each Indemnified  Party from all liability arising out of such claim,
action, suit or proceeding.

               (a) The  Borrowers  agree to pay as and when billed by the Lender
all of the out-of-pocket  costs and expenses  reasonably  incurred in connection
with  the  development,   preparation  and  execution  of,  and  any  amendment,
supplement  or  modification  to any of the  Transaction  Documents or any other
documents prepared in connection herewith or therewith, and the consummation and
administration of the transactions  contemplated  hereby and thereby  including,
without limitation,  (i) all the reasonable fees,  disbursements and expenses of
Lender's counsel (such fees of Lender's counsel not to exceed $10,000), (ii) all
the reasonable due diligence, inspection, transportation, computer, duplication,
appraisal,  audit,  insurance,  consultant,  search,  filing and recording fees,
testing and review  costs and expenses  incurred by



                                       26

the Lender,  with respect to Mortgage  Loans  pledged as  Collateral  under this
Agreement  and (iii) all the fees and  expenses  incurred  by the  Custodian  in
connection with its duties under the Custodial Agreement.

               (b) The  Borrowers'  agreements  in this Section 16 shall survive
the payment in full of the Secured Obligations and the expiration or termination
of this Agreement.

               SECTION  17.   Takeouts  and  Releases  of  Collateral.   (a)  In
connection with the permanent refinancing, in whole or in part, of the Advances,
the Lender hereby agrees to consent to such permanent refinancings and to permit
the release  therefor of a portion of the Mortgage  Loans as the  Borrowers  may
request,  provided,  that  after  giving  effect  to any such  release:  (i) the
Collateral  that  remains  pledged to the Lender  hereunder  shall not have been
selected in a manner which  adversely  affects the Lender as  determined  by the
Lender in its sole discretion; (ii) there shall not be a material adverse change
in the business operations or financial condition of the Borrower;  and (iii) in
the case of a reduction of the total revolving loan  commitment  contemplated by
this  Agreement,  the Maximum  Funding Amount shall be reduced  accordingly.  At
least 3 Business  Days prior to the closing of any such  permanent  refinancing,
the Borrowers  shall deliver a certificate  to the Lender to the effect that any
such permanent  refinancing is in compliance with the  requirements set forth in
clauses (i) and (ii) of this Section 17. Any permanent refinancing that does not
comply with the  requirements  of clauses  (i) and (ii) above shall  require the
prior written consent of the Lender.

               (b) The  Borrowers  will  cause an  Eligible  Takeout to occur no
later than July __, 1996 (the  "Initial  Eligible  Takeout"),  and at least once
within every  six-month  period  following the Initial  Eligible  Takeout.  Each
Eligible  Takeout  caused by the Borrowers  shall comply with the  provisions of
Section 17(a) hereof.

               SECTION 18. Power of Attorney.  The Borrowers  hereby  authorize,
without requiring, the Lender, at the Borrowers' expense, to file such financing
statement  or  statements   relating  to  the  Collateral  without  the  related
Borrower's  signature  thereon as the Lender at its option may deem appropriate,
and appoints the Lender as the Borrowers'  attorney-in-fact  to execute any such
financing  statement or  statements  in the  Borrowers'  name and to perform all
other acts which the Lender  deems  appropriate  to  perfect  and  continue  the
security  interest granted hereby and to protect,  preserve and realize upon the
Collateral,  including, but not limited to, the right to endorse notes, complete
blanks in  documents  and sign  assignments  on behalf of the  Borrowers  as its
attorney-in-fact.  This Power of  Attorney is coupled  with an  interest  and is
irrevocable without the Lender's consent.

               SECTION 19. No Duty on Lender's Part.  Nothing  herein  contained
shall be construed to  constitute  the Lender as agent of the  Borrowers or as a
partner in or with the  Borrowers  for any purpose  whatsoever.  The Lender does
not, by anything  contained herein,  assume any of Borrowers'  obligations under
any contract or agreement constituting part of or relating to the Collateral and
the Lender will not be responsible in any way for the Borrowers'  performance of
any of the terms or  conditions  thereof.  The  powers  conferred  on the Lender
hereunder  are solely to protect the Lender's  interests in the  Collateral  and
shall not impose any 




                                       27

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


duty upon it to exercise any such powers.  The Lender shall be accountable  only
for  amounts  that it  actually  receives  as a result of the  exercise  of such
powers, and neither it nor any of its officers,  directors,  employees or agents
shall be  responsible  to the Borrowers for any act or failure to act hereunder,
except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Lender.

               SECTION  20.  Limitation  on  Duties  Regarding  Preservation  of
Collateral. The obligation of the Lender with respect to the Collateral shall be
limited strictly to the duty to exercise  reasonable care in the custody of such
Collateral  and such duty shall not include any  obligation  to  ascertain or to
initiate  any action with  respect to, or to inform the  Borrower  of,  maturity
dates, conversion, call rights, offers to purchase the Collateral or any similar
matters,  notwithstanding  the  knowledge of the Lender of the same.  The Lender
shall have no duty (i) to take any steps necessary to preserve the rights of the
Borrowers against prior parties or to initiate any action to protect against the
possibility of a decline in the market value of the Collateral, (ii) to take any
action with respect to the Collateral  requested by Borrowers,  or (iii) to make
or give any presentments,  demands for performance,  notices of  nonperformance,
notices  of  protest  or  notices  of  dishonor  in  connection  with any of the
Collateral or to take any other action to preserve, protect or defend any right,
title or interest of the  Borrowers,  or the Lender with  respect  thereto or to
preserve  any  value  thereof.  Neither  the  Lender  nor any of its  directors,
officers,  employees or agents shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or
realize upon all or any part of the  Collateral  or for any delay in doing so or
shall be under any  obligation  to sell or otherwise  dispose of any  Collateral
upon the request of the Borrowers or otherwise.

               SECTION 21. Powers Coupled with an Interest.  All  authorizations
and agencies  herein  granted to the Lender with respect to the  Collateral  are
irrevocable and powers coupled with an interest.

               SECTION 22.  Severability.  Any provision of this Agreement which
is  prohibited  or  unenforceable   in  any  jurisdiction   shall,  as  to  such
jurisdiction,   be   ineffective   to  the   extent  of  such   prohibition   or
unenforceability  without  invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any
such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or
render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.

               SECTION 23. Notices. All written  communications  hereunder shall
be mailed,  telecopied or delivered to the respective addresses as listed in the
Custodial  Agreement or to such other  address as shall be designated by a party
in a written  notice to the other parties.  All such notices and  communications
shall be  effective  when  delivered  to the party to which such notice is to be
given.

               SECTION 24. Paragraph  Headings.  The paragraph  headings used in
this  Agreement are for  convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction hereof or be taken into consideration in the interpretation hereof.

               SECTION 25. No Waiver;  Cumulative Remedies. The Lender shall not
by any act  (except by a written  instrument  pursuant  to  Section 12  hereof),
delay,  indulgence,  




                                       28

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


omission or otherwise be deemed to have waived any right or remedy  hereunder or
to have  acquiesced  in any Event of  Default,  Event of  Termination  or in any
breach of any of the terms and conditions  hereof.  No failure to exercise,  nor
any  delay  in  exercising,  on the  part of the  Lender,  any  right,  power or
privilege  hereunder  shall  operate as a waiver  thereof.  No single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege  hereunder shall preclude any other or
further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.
A waiver by the  Lender of any right or  remedy  hereunder  on any one  occasion
shall not be  construed  as a bar to any right or remedy  which the Lender would
otherwise have on any future  occasion.  The rights and remedies herein provided
are cumulative, may be exercised singly or concurrently and are not exclusive of
any rights or remedies provided by law.

               SECTION 26.  Assignment.  Neither of the Borrowers may assign its
rights or delegate  its  obligations  under this  Agreement  without the express
written consent of the Lender.  The Lender may assign its rights and obligations
hereunder upon written notice thereof to the Borrowers. If the Lender determines
and notifies the Borrowers that a Participation  is a desirable course of action
with respect to the Secured Note,  then the Borrowers  shall  cooperate with the
Lender in the preparation of any information  reasonably necessary or incidental
to such  Participation  which is reasonably  within the possession or control of
the Borrowers or is obtainable by the Borrowers  without undue burden or expense
and shall in good faith enter into any amendments to this Agreement necessary to
accomplish the Participation. In the event of a Participation,  the Lender shall
remain liable for all its responsibilities  hereunder and under the Secured Note
and the Borrowers  shall not be expected to communicate  with any  participants.
Notwithstanding  any provision of this  Agreement,  the  Borrowers  shall not be
required to take,  and the Lender  agrees that neither the Lender nor any of its
Affiliates  will  take,  any  action   inconsistent  with  the  requirements  of
applicable  law,  including the  Securities  Act of 1933, as amended,  and state
securities laws.

               SECTION 27.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in any
number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all
of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

               SECTION  28.  Agreement  Constitutes  Security  Agreement.   This
Agreement is intended by the parties  hereto to constitute a security  agreement
within the meaning of the NY UCC.

               SECTION 29.  Hypothecation  or Pledge of  Collateral.  Nothing in
this Agreement shall preclude Lender from pledging,  repledging,  hypothecating,
or rehypothecating any of the Collateral,  but no such transaction shall relieve
the Lender of its  obligations  to the  Borrowers  under this  Agreement  or the
Custodial  Agreement  with respect to the  Collateral  or impair the  Borrowers'
right to obtain the Collateral as provided herein.

               SECTION 30. Waivers. The Borrowers waive any right to require the
Lender to (i) proceed against any other Person;  (ii) proceed against or exhaust
any  Collateral;  (iii) pursue any other remedy in the Lender's  power;  or (iv)
make or give any presentments,  



                                       29

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


demands for performance,  notices of dishonor in connection with any obligations
or evidence of  indebtedness  which  constitute  in whole or in part the Secured
Obligations.

               SECTION 31.  Further  Assurances.  (a) The Borrowers  agree to do
such  further  reasonable  acts and  things,  and to execute  and  deliver  such
additional conveyances,  assignments, agreements or financing statements, as the
Lender may at any time  reasonably  request  in  connection  with the  creation,
perfection,  administration  or  enforcement  of this  Agreement  and the  other
Transaction  Documents  (including,  without  limitation,  to aid the Lender, if
there has been an Event of Default or Event of  Termination,  in the sale of all
or any part of the  Collateral) or related to the Collateral or any part thereof
or to give any  necessary  or desirable  notice of the security  interest in the
Collateral granted by this Agreement or in order better to assure and confirm to
the Lender its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.

               (b) If requested by the  Borrowers,  and to facilitate the timely
disposition  of the  Collateral,  the Lender hereby agrees to underwrite for its
own account Certificates issued by a Designated Trust;  provided,  however, that
any  Certificates so  underwritten  will have credit  enhancement  provided by a
monoline  insurance  company  rated  "AAA"  (or  the  equivalent  thereof)  by a
nationally recognized statistical rating organization, with terms and conditions
acceptable  to the Lender and  comparable  to prior  transactions  involving the
Parent as issuer.  The  purchase  price to be paid by the  Lender  will be at an
underwriting  discount  consistent  with  then-existing  market  standards.  The
interest rate on the  Certificates  will be determined by the Lender in its sole
discretion  but will be  consistent  with (i) then  current  market  pricing for
securities  backed  by  collateral  similar  to the  Collateral  and (ii)  prior
discussions between the Lender and the Borrowers.

               SECTION 32.  Governing  Law. (a) This Agreement was negotiated in
New York,  and made by Lender and accepted by the  Borrowers in the State of New
York, and the Advances will be disbursed from New York,  which State the parties
agree  has a  substantial  relationship  to the  parties  and to the  underlying
transaction  embodied hereby, and in all respects,  including without limitation
matters of  construction,  validity  and  performance,  this  Agreement  and the
obligations  arising hereunder shall be governed by, and construed in accordance
with, the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to the principles
of conflicts of laws,  applicable to contracts  made and performed in such State
and any  applicable  law of the United States of America.  To the fullest extent
permitted by law, the Borrowers  unconditionally and irrevocably waive any claim
to assert that the law of any other jurisdiction  governs this Agreement and the
Secured Note,  and this  Agreement and the Secured Note shall be governed by and
construed  in  accordance  with the laws of the  State of New York  pursuant  to
Section 5-1401 of the New York General Obligations Law.

               (b) Any legal suit,  action or  proceeding  against the Lender or
the Borrowers  arising out of or relating to this Agreement  shall be instituted
in any federal or state court in New York, New York,  pursuant to Section 5-1402
of the New York General  Obligations  Law, and the Borrowers waive any objection
which they may now or hereafter have to the  determination  of venue of any such
suit, action or proceeding,  and the Borrowers hereby  irrevocably submit to the
jurisdiction of any such court in any suit, action or proceeding.

             REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE RELATED BORROWER
                    IN RESPECT OF EACH OF THE MORTGAGE LOANS

               (a) The  information in respect of the Mortgage Loan set forth in
the related Mortgage Loan Schedule is true and correct;

               (b) The Mortgage Loan is being and will be serviced by the Parent
pursuant to the terms of the Interim Loan and Security Agreement;

               (c) The Mortgage  Loan  Documents  are complete and authentic and
all signatures are genuine,  and the Mortgage  related to the Mortgage Loan is a

of any second  Mortgage  Loan,  only to a lien of a first  Mortgage on such real
property  and subject in all cases to the  exceptions  to title set forth in the
title insurance  policy or the other evidence of title in respect of the related
Mortgage Loan, which exceptions are generally  acceptable to prudent home equity
Mortgage  lending  companies,   and  such  other  exceptions  to  which  similar
properties  are  commonly  subject  and  which  do not  individually,  or in the
aggregate, materially and adversely affect the benefits of the security intended
to be provided by such Mortgage;

               (d) There is no  delinquent  tax or  assessment  lien on any real
property mortgaged in connection with the related Mortgage Loan;

               (e) All parties to the Mortgage Loan Documents had legal capacity

               FOR VALUE RECEIVED,  Industry Mortgage Company,  L.P., a Delaware

$100,000,000  and (b) the  outstanding  principal  amount  of all  Advances  (as
defined  in the  Agreement  hereinafter  referred  to) made by the Lender to the

as of February 28, 1996 (as amended or otherwise modified from time to time, the
"Agreement"),  by and between the Lender and the Borrowers plus interest thereon
from the date of each  such  Advance  as  provided  in the  Agreement.  All such
payment  obligations  (whether in respect of the aggregate  principal  amount of
outstanding Advances made, interest thereon, or other payment obligations of the
Borrower under the Agreement) shall be made in lawful money of the United States
of America,  in immediately  available  funds,  on the dates and in the amounts,
specified in or determined in accordance with, the Agreement.

               The  amount  of each  Advance  and the  date and  amount  of each
repayment of principal  thereof  shall be forwarded by the Lender to the related
Borrower,  by  facsimile  transmission  upon  request  therefor,  and  shall  be
conclusive evidence of the accuracy of such amounts (absent manifest error).

               It is  intended  that the rate of  interest  herein  shall  never
exceed  the  maximum  rate,  if any,  which may be  legally  charged on the loan
evidenced by this Secured Note (the "Maximum  Rate"),  and if the provisions for
interest  contained  in this Secured Note would result in a rate higher than the
Maximum Rate,  interest shall  nevertheless  be limited to the Maximum Rate, and
any  amounts  which may be paid toward  interest  in excess of the Maximum  Rate
shall be applied to the reduction of principal, or, at the option of the Lender,
returned to the related Borrower.

               All payments  hereon shall be made, and all notices to the Lender
required or authorized hereby shall be given, at the office of the Lender at the

and enforcement  (including  reasonable fees and  disbursements  of the holder's
counsel)  in respect of this  Secured  Note when  incurred,  including,  without
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees through appellate proceedings.

               Capitalized  terms not  otherwise  defined  herein shall have the
respective  meanings  ascribed  to them in the  Agreement.  Notwithstanding  the
pledge of the Collateral, the Borrowers hereby acknowledge, admit and agree that
the Borrowers'  obligations under this Secured Note are recourse  obligations of
the Borrowers to which the Borrowers pledge their full faith and credit.

severally waive  diligence,  presentment,  protest and demand and also notice of
protest,  demand,  dishonor and  nonpayments of this Secured Note, (b) expressly
agree that this Secured  Note,  or any payment  hereunder,  may he extended from
time to time, and consent to the acceptance of further  Collateral,  the release
of any Collateral  for this Secured Note, the release of any party  primarily or

for the  Lender,  in order to enforce  payment of this  Secured  Note,  to first
institute  or exhaust  its  remedies  against  such  Borrower or any other party
liable hereon or against any  Collateral  for this Secured Note. No extension of
time for the payment of this Secured Note, or any  installment  hereof,  made by
agreement by the Lender with any Person now or hereafter  liable for the payment
of this Secured Note,  shall affect the liability under this Secured Note of the
Borrowers,  even if the Borrowers are not a party to such  agreement;  provided,
however,  that the Lender and the Borrowers,  by written agreement between them,
may affect the liability of the Borrowers.

               Any reference herein to the Lender shall he deemed to include and
apply to every subsequent holder of this Secured Note.

mandatory  principal  repayments,  Collateral,  acceleration  and other material
terms affecting this Secured Note.

Gentlemen:

               This  opinion is being  delivered to you pursuant to Section 3(a)
of the Agreement.

               [Opinion  to  be  modified   to  reflect  the  inclusion  of  the
Subsidiary as a Borrower.]

               Capitalized  terms used herein and not defined  herein shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Interim Loan and Security Agreement.

               [Assumptions and Qualifications Acceptable to Lender]

               Based upon the foregoing, I am of the opinion that:

               1.  The  Borrower  is a  [limited  partnership]  duly  organized,
validly  existing and in good  standing  under the laws of the State of Delaware
and is  qualified  or  licensed  to do  business  in each state  wherein it owns
property or is required to be so qualified or licensed.

               2. The  Borrower  has the power and legal right to enter into and
deliver  [the  Endorsement  and] the Notice of  Extension,  to borrow  under the
Interim Loan and Security Agreement, as amended by the Notice of Extension,  and
the Note [as amended by the  Endorsement],  and to grant liens under the Interim
Loan and  Security  Agreement,  as amended by the Notice of  Extension,  and has
taken all  necessary  action to authorize  such  borrowing  and such granting of
liens upon the terms and conditions of the Interim Loan and Security  Agreement,
as  amended by the Notice of  Extension,  and to  authorize  the  execution  and
delivery of the Notice of Extension.  No consent of any other Person (including,
without  limitation,  stockholders  of the Borrower),  and no consent,  license,
permit,  approval or authorization  of, or registration or declaration with, any
governmental  authority,  bureau or agency is  required in  connection  with the
execution and delivery or  enforceability of [the Endorsement and] the Notice of
Extension or the enforceability of any of the Transaction Documents.

               3.  The  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of  each  of the
Transaction  Documents  to which the  Borrower  is a party will not  violate any
provision of any existing law




<PAGE>
<PAGE>

or  regulation  applicable  to the  Borrower  or of the  certificate  or limited
partnership or limited partnership agreement of the Borrower or of any Mortgage,
indenture,  contract or other  undertaking to which, to the best of my knowledge
(after due inquiry),  the Borrower is a party or which is binding upon it or its
assets, and, to the best of my knowledge (after due inquiry), will not result in
the creation or  imposition  of any lien,  charge or  encumbrance  on any of its
assets pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing.

               4. Each of [the Endorsement] and the Notice of Extension has been
duly  authorized,   executed  and  delivered  by  the  Borrower  and,  upon  due
authorization,  execution  and  delivery  by the  other  parties  thereto,  will
constitute a valid,  legal and binding  agreement of the  Borrower,  enforceable
against the Borrower in accordance with its terms,  except as enforceability may
be limited by (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, receivership, moratorium,
reorganization  or other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors and (ii)
general principles of equity,  whether  enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law.

               5. No material  litigation  or  administrative  proceeding  of or
before any government body is presently pending, or, to the best of my knowledge
(after due inquiry), threatened against the Borrower or its respective assets.

               6. No consent, approval,  authorization or order of, registration
or filing with,  or notice to, any  governmental  authority or court is required
under federal laws or the laws of the State of  ____________  for the execution,
delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which the Borrower is a
party.

               7. The execution, delivery and performance by the Borrower of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party do not conflict with or result in a
breach of or  constitutes  a default  under any law,  rule or  regulation of the
federal government or the State of _______________.

               8.  The  delivery  by  the  Borrower  to  the  Custodian  of  the
promissory  notes (the  "Notes")  evidencing  the  Mortgage  Loans as and in the
manner contemplated by the Interim Loan and Security Agreement and the Custodial
Agreement,  create a perfected  first  priority  security  interest in the Notes
securing  the  obligations  of the Borrower to the Lender under the Interim Loan
and Security Agreement.

               I am admitted to  practice  law in the State of  _______________,
and the  foregoing  opinions are limited to the federal law of the United States
and the laws of the State of _______________.

                                 Sincerely yours,

3. INITIATION; REQUEST/CONFIRMATION; TERMINATION; TRANSACTIONS OPTIONAL

at the initiation of an Obligor. In the event that an Obligor desires to enter
into a Transaction hereunder, such Obligor shall deliver to Buyer prior to 5:00
p.m., New York City time, on the Business Day prior to the proposed Purchase
Date, a Request/Confirmation complete in every respect except for the signature
of an authorized representative of Buyer. Buyer shall, upon its receipt and
approval thereof, promptly execute and return the signed Request/Confirmation to
the Obligor.

        (b) The Request/Confirmation shall describe the Purchased HELs in a
manner satisfactory to Buyer (which may 




                                       4

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

be by attaching a Loan Schedule thereto), identify Buyer and the Obligor and set

unless the Transaction is to be terminable on demand, (iv) the Pricing Rate or
Repurchase Price applicable to the Transaction, and (v) any additional terms or

        (c) Each Request/Confirmation shall be binding upon the Obligors

the objecting party to the other party within one (1) Business Day after Buyer
has delivered the completed Request/Confirmation to an Obligor.

        (d) In the event of any conflict between the terms of a
Request/Confirmation and this Agreement, such Request/Confirmation shall
prevail.

        (e) In the case of Transactions terminable upon demand, such demand
shall be made by Buyer or the Obligor, no later than such time as is customary
in accordance with market practice, by telephone or otherwise on or prior to the
Business Day on which such termination will be effective. On the date specified
in such demand, or on the date fixed for termination in the case of Transactions
having a fixed term, termination of the Transaction will be effected by resale
by Buyer to an Obligor or its agent of the Purchased HELs and any Income in
respect thereof received by Buyer (and not previously credited or transferred
to, or applied to the obligations of, the related Obligor hereunder) against the
transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer.

        (f) The adjustment mechanism and the index for any adjustable rate HEL
must have been provided to Buyer in writing and Buyer shall not have objected to

        (g) Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the Custodial
Agreement to the contrary, the initiation of each Transaction is subject to the
approval of Buyer in its sole discretion. Buyer may, in its sole discretion,
reject any HEL from inclusion in a Transaction hereunder for any reason.

4. MARGIN MAINTENANCE

        (a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased HELs
subject to all Transactions hereunder is less than the aggregate Buyer's Margin
Amount for all such Transactions (a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may by notice
to an Obligor require the Obligor in such Transactions, at 




                                       5

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Buyer's option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional HELs reasonably
acceptable to Buyer ("Additional Purchased HELs"), so that the cash and
aggregate Market Value of the Purchased HELs, including any such Additional
Purchased HELs, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer's Margin
Amount.

        (b) If the notice to be given by Buyer to an Obligor under subparagraph
(a) above is given at or prior to 10:00 a.m. New York City time on a Business
Day, the Obligor shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased HELs to Buyer prior
to the close of business in New York City on the date of such notice, and if
such notice is given after 10:00 a.m. New York City time, the Obligor shall
transfer cash or Additional Purchased HELs prior to the close of business in New
York City on the Business Day following the date of such notice.

        (c) Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed
to such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and the Obligor.

5. INCOME PAYMENTS

        Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment
date on the HELs subject to that Transaction, all payments and distributions,
whether in cash or in kind, made on or with respect to the Purchased HELs shall,
unless otherwise mutually agreed by Buyer and the related Obligor and so long as
an Event of Default on the part of an Obligor shall not have occurred and be
continuing, be paid directly to the related Obligor by the related Mortgagor.
Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding
sentence to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin
Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith the Obligor transfers
to Buyer, at Buyer's option, cash or Additional Purchased HELs sufficient to
eliminate such Margin Deficit.

6. SECURITY INTEREST

        Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and
purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be
loans, the related Obligor shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security
for the performance by the Obligors of their obligations under each such
Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest
in, all of the Purchased HELs with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all
proceeds thereof. The Obligors shall pay all fees and expenses associated with
perfecting such security interest including, without limitation, the cost of
filing financing statements under the Uniform Commercial Code and 




                                       6

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

recording assignments of mortgage as and when required by Buyer in its sole
discretion.

7. PAYMENT AND TRANSFER

        (a) Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder
shall be in immediately available funds. All HELs transferred by one party
hereto to the other party shall, except as provided in (b) below, be transferred
by notice to the Custodian to the effect that the Custodian is now holding for
the benefit of the transferee the related documents and assignment forms
delivered to it under the Custodial Agreement.

        (b) The parties agree that, with respect to certain Purchased HELs (the
"Delayed Document HELs"), the delivery to the Custodian of documents and
assignment forms required by the Custodial Agreement may be delayed for a period
of not more than three (3) Business Days after the related
Purchase Date.

8. SEGREGATION OF DOCUMENTS RELATING TO PURCHASED HELS

        All documents relating to Purchased HELs in the possession of an
Obligor, other than credit and servicing files, shall be segregated from other
documents and securities in its possession and shall be identified as being
subject to this Agreement. Ownership of all Purchased HELs shall pass to Buyer
and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase
transactions with the Purchased HELs or otherwise pledging or hypothecating the
Purchased HELs, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations
to resell and transfer Purchased HELs to an Obligor pursuant to the terms
hereof.

9. SUBSTITUTION

        An Obligor may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer,
substitute other HELs for any Purchased HELs. Such substitution shall be made by
transfer to Buyer of such other HELs and transfer to the Obligor of such
Purchased HELs. After substitution, the substituted HELs shall be deemed to be
Purchased HELs.

10. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS

        (a) Buyer and the Obligors each represents and warrants, and shall on
and as of the Purchase Date of any Transaction be deemed to represent and
warrant, to the other that:

                                       7

        hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal);

                (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly
        authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed
        principal);

                (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body
        required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions

on and as of the Purchase Date of any Transaction be deemed to represent and
warrant, as follows:

        Custodian, neither Obligor owns a controlling interest in the Custodian

        Obligor is also a director or officer of the Custodian;

                (iii) None of the Purchase Price for any HEL will be used either
        directly or indirectly to acquire any security, as that term is defined
        in Regulation T of the Regulations of the Board of Governors of the
        Federal Reserve System, and neither Obligor has taken any action that
        might cause any Transaction to violate any regulation of the Federal
        Reserve Board;

                (iv) Each HEL was underwritten in accordance with the written
        underwriting standards of the Obligors furnished by an Obligor to Buyer,
        and no change to such underwriting standards has occurred since the date
        of the last written revision to such standards was furnished to Buyer by
        an Obligor;

                (v) The related Obligor shall be at the time it transfers to
        Buyer any HELs for any Transaction the legal and beneficial owner of
        such HELs, free of any lien, security interest, option or encumbrance;

                (vi) The related Obligor used no selection procedures that
        identified the HELs relating to a Transaction as being less desirable or

                (vi) Less than 5% (by aggregate Purchase Price) of the Purchased

        (89) days.

however, that Buyer may, in its sole discretion, waive compliance with any such
representations and warranties.

follows:

        that in the case of representations and warranties made with respect to
        the Purchased HELs, such circumstance shall not constitute an Event of
        Default if, after determining the Market Value of the Purchased HELs
        without taking into account the Purchased HELs with respect to which
        such circumstance has occurred, no other Event of Default shall have
        occurred and be continuing;

                (v) Any covenant shall have been breached in any material

this Paragraph, (i) the Obligors' obligations hereunder to repurchase all
Purchased HELs in such Transactions shall thereupon become immediately due and
payable, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the Repurchase Price
with respect to each such Transaction shall be increased by the aggregate amount
obtained by daily application of (x) the greater of the Pricing Rate for such
Transaction and the Prime Rate to (y) the Repurchase Price for such Transaction

referred to in clause (ii) of the first sentence of subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph), the nondefaulting party may:

        Obligor, (A) immediately sell on a 



                                       12

        servicing released or servicing retained basis as Buyer deems desirable,
        in a recognized market at such price or prices as Buyer may in its sole
        discretion deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased HELs subject to such
        Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid
        Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by either Obligor
        hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or
        a portion of such Purchased HELs, to give the Obligor credit for such
        Purchased HELs in an amount equal to the Market Value therefor on such
        date against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other
        amounts owing jointly and severally by the Obligors hereunder; and

                (ii) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is Buyer,
        (A) purchase home equity loans ("Replacement HELs") having substantially
        the same outstanding principal amount, maturity and interest rate as any
        Purchased HELs that are not transferred by Buyer to an Obligor as
        required hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of
        purchasing Replacement HELs, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement
        HELs at the price therefor on such date, calculated as the average of
        the prices obtained from three (3) nationally recognized registered
        broker/dealers that buy and sell comparable home equity loans in the
        secondary market.

        (f) As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is Buyer, Buyer
shall be liable to the related Obligor (i) with respect to Purchased HELs (other
than Additional Purchased HELs), for any excess of the price paid (or deemed
paid) by such Obligor for Replacement HELs therefor over the Repurchase Price
for such Purchased HELs and (ii) with respect to Additional Purchased HELs, for
the price paid (or deemed paid) by the Obligor for the Replacement HELs
therefor. In addition, Buyer shall be liable to such Obligor for interest on
such remaining liability with respect to each such purchase (or deemed purchase)
of Replacement HELs from the date of such purchase (or deemed purchase) until
paid in full by Buyer. Such interest shall be at a rate equal to the greater of
the Pricing Rate for such Transaction or the Prime Rate.

        (g) For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each
Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is Buyer shall
not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such Transaction
determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the related
Obligor of its option under subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph.

the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the
nondefaulting party in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of
Default, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the greater of the
Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate. Expenses incurred
in connection with an Event of Default shall include without limitation those
costs and expenses incurred by the nondefaulting party as a result of the early
termination of any repurchase agreement or reverse repurchase agreement entered
into by the nondefaulting party in connection with the Transaction then in
default.

        (i) The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights
hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or
applicable law.

        (j) In the event that the senior debt obligations or short-term debt
obligations of Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. shall be rated below the four highest
generic grades (without regard to any pluses or minuses reflecting gradations
within such generic grades) by any nationally recognized statistical rating
organization then, at the option of Buyer exercised by written notice to an
Obligor, the Pricing Rate for all Transactions having a Purchase Date on or
after the date of such notice shall be adjusted in a mutually agreeable manner
to reflect Buyer's cost of funds.

        (k) The exercise by any party of remedies after the occurrence of an
Event of Default shall be conducted in a commercially reasonable manner.

12. SERVICING OF THE PURCHASED HELS

        (a) The parties hereto agree and acknowledge that, notwithstanding the
purchase and sale of the Purchased HELs contemplated hereby, the related Obligor
shall service the Purchased HELs for the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall
exercise its rights to sell the Purchased HELs pursuant to this Agreement prior
to the related Repurchase Date, Buyer's assigns; provided, however, that the
obligation of the Obligor to service Purchased HELs for the benefit of Buyer as
aforesaid shall cease upon the payment to Buyer of the Repurchase Price
therefor.

        (b) The related Obligor shall service and administer the Purchased HELs
and shall have full power and authority, acting alone, to do any and all things
in connection with such servicing which such Obligor may deem necessary or
desirable and consistent with the terms of this Agreement, and shall retain all
principal prepayments and Income received by such Obligor with respect to such
Purchased HELs




                                       14

<PAGE>

pursuant to the terms hereof. The related Obligor, in administering and
servicing the Purchased HELs, shall employ procedures (including collection
procedures) and exercise the same care it customarily employs and exercises in
servicing and administering home equity loans for its own account, in accordance
with accepted home equity loan servicing practices of prudent lending
institutions and giving due consideration to Buyer's reliance on such Obligor.
The related Obligor will provide Buyer with monthly reports in a mutually
agreeable format.

        (c) Buyer may, in its sole discretion if an Event of Default shall have
occurred and be continuing, without payment of any termination fee or any other
amount to an Obligor, (i) sell the HELs on a servicing released basis or (ii)
terminate the applicable Obligor as the servicer of the Purchased HELs with or
without cause.

13. SINGLE AGREEMENT

        Buyer and the Obligors acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and
will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance
upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and
contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
Accordingly, each of Buyer and IMCLP and IMCA agrees (i) to perform all of its
obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the
performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect
of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set
off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against
obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and
(iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by any of them in
respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of
payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions
hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other
transfers may be applied against each other and netted.

14. NOTICES AND OTHER COMMUNICATIONS

of this Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

16. OPINIONS OF COUNSEL

hereunder and, upon the request of Buyer, on the Purchase Date of any subsequent
Transaction, cause to be delivered to Buyer, with reliance thereon permitted as
to any person or entity that purchases the HELs from Buyer in a repurchase
transaction, a favorable opinion of counsel with respect to the matters set
forth in Exhibit C hereto, in form and substance acceptable to Buyer and its
counsel.

17. FURTHER ASSURANCES; ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

        (a) The Obligors shall promptly provide such further assurances or
agreements as Buyer may request in order to effect the purposes of this
Agreement.

        (b) At any reasonable time, each Obligor shall permit Buyer, its agents
or attorneys, to inspect and copy any and all documents and data in its
possession pertaining to any Purchased HEL that is the subject of such
Transaction. Such inspection shall occur upon the request of Buyer at a mutually
agreeable location during regular business hours and on a date determined by
Buyer; Buyer may, at its option, require that the date of such inspection be not
more than two (2) Business Days after the date of such request.

        (c) Each Obligor agrees to provide Buyer or its agents, from time to
time, with such information concerning such Obligor of a financial or
operational nature as Buyer may reasonably request.

        (d) Each Obligor shall provide Buyer or its agents, with copies of all

18. BUYER AS ATTORNEY-IN-FACT

        Buyer is hereby appointed the attorney-in-fact of both Obligors for the
purpose of carrying out the provisions of this Agreement and taking any action
and executing any 




                                       17

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

instruments that Buyer 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,
Buyer shall have the right and power during the occurrence and continuation of
any Event of Default to receive, endorse and collect all checks made payable to
the order of an Obligor representing any payment on account of the principal of
or interest on any of the Purchased HELs and to give full discharge for the
same.

19. APPOINTMENT OF AGENT

        Buyer hereby appoints Bear Stearns Mortgage Capital Corporation as its
agent for purposes of issuing Requests/Confirmations, determining Market Value,
exercising Buyer's rights under any margin maintenance provision of this
Agreement and such other purposes as Buyer may direct.
 The appointment of such agent shall not relieve Buyer of its obligations
hereunder.

20. JOINT AND SEVERAL LIABILITY OF OBLIGORS

        The Obligors agree to be jointly and severally liable for the
obligations of either Obligor hereunder and all representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements made by or on behalf of either or both Obligors in the
Agreement or in any exhibit hereto or any document, instrument or certificate
delivered pursuant hereto shall be deemed to have been made by each Obligor,
jointly and severally. The Obligors further agree that, notwithstanding any
right of Buyer to investigate fully the affairs of the Obligors and
notwithstanding any knowledge of facts determined or determinable by Buyer,
Buyer has the right to rely fully on the representations, warranties, covenants
and agreements of either or both Obligors contained in the Agreement and upon
the accuracy of any document, instrument, certificate or exhibit given or
delivered hereunder. The joint and several obligation of each Obligor hereunder
is absolute, unconditional, irrevocable, present and continuing and, with
respect to any payment to be made to Buyer, is a guaranty of payment (and not of
collectability) and is in no way conditional or contingent upon the continued
existence of the other Obligor and is not and will not be subject to any
setoffs. Any notice or other communication provided to one Obligor pursuant
hereto shall be deemed to have been given to both Obligors and failure to be
sent any notice or communication contemplated hereby shall not relieve an
Obligor from its joint and several liability for the obligations of the other
Obligor hereunder.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; SEVERABILITY

        This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements among the parties
containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each
provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from
any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding
the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.

23. NON-ASSIGNABILITY; TERMINATION

        (a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and
under any Transaction shall not be assigned by any party without the prior
written consent of the other party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and
any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
parties and their respective successors and assigns.

        (b) This Agreement and all Transactions outstanding hereunder shall
terminate automatically without any requirement for notice on the date occurring
three hundred 



                                       19

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

and sixty-four (364) days after the date as of which this Agreement is entered
into; provided, however, that this Agreement and any Transaction outstanding
hereunder may be extended by mutual agreement of Buyer and the Obligors; and
provided further, however, that no such party shall be obligated to agree to
such an extension.

24. COUNTERPARTS

        This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of
which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts
shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

25. GOVERNING LAW

        This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.

26. NO WAIVERS, ETC.

        No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by any party shall
constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy
hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any
other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this
Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective
unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the
parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give
a notice pursuant to subparagraph 4(a) hereof will not constitute a waiver of
any right to do so at a later date.

27. USE OF EMPLOYEE PLAN ASSETS

        (a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") are intended to be
used by any party hereto (the "Plan Party") in a Transaction, the Plan Party
shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall
represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute
a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the
other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to
proceed.

        (b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph,
any such Transaction shall proceed only if the Obligors have each furnished to
Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and



                                       20

<PAGE>
<PAGE>


its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.

        (c) By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, each
Obligor shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of such
Obligor latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse
change in such Obligor's financial condition which an Obligor has not disclosed
to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited
statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is an
Obligor in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.

28. INTENT

        (a) The parties intend and acknowledge that each Transaction is a
"repurchase agreement" as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the
United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of HELs subject to
such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition
inapplicable), and a "securities contract" as that term is defined in Section
741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.

        (b) It is understood that any party's right to liquidate HELs delivered
to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other
remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof, is a contractual right to liquidate
such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended.

29. LIMITED ROLE OF TRUSTEE; SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE

        (a) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the undersigned
Trustee is solely and strictly in its capacity as Trustee under that certain
Trust Agreement dated as of March 29, 1996 (the "Trust Agreement") by and
between State Street Bank and Trust Company of California, N.A., as Trustee (the
"Trustee") and Bear Stearns Mortgage Capital Corporation, as Depositor (the
"Depositor"), and not individually, and has been undertaken at the direction of
the Depositor pursuant to the terms of the Trust Agreement.
 It is hereby expressly acknowledged that any obligations, liabilities,
covenants, duties, representations and warranties hereunder are those of the
Buyer only and not of the Trustee. There shall be no individual or corporate
liability against or on the part of the Trustee (or any of its officers,
directors or employees) under this Agreement, and there shall be no recourse
against the Trustee in its individual or corporate capacity (or any of its
directors, officers or employees) or against any of its properties or assets,
for recovery of or as a result of any claim, debt,




                                       21

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

liability or obligation (whether of payment or performance) of or against the
Buyer under or pursuant to this Agreement (whether arising out of or relating to
any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty, or otherwise). Recourse
against the Buyer for any claims, liabilities, debts or obligations under this
Agreement is limited to the assets and properties of the trust established by
the Trust Agreement.

        (b) With regard to Section 23(a) hereof, the Obligors each hereby
acknowledge and consent that any and all rights and remedies of the Buyer under
this Agreement shall automatically transfer to and vest in any successor trustee
under the Trust Agreement in the event of the removal or resignation of the
Trustee as trustee thereunder.

30. DISCLOSURE RELATING TO CERTAIN FEDERAL PROTECTIONS

The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:

        (a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker
or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") under
Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("1934 Act"), the Securities
Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of
the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 ("SIPA") do not protect the other
party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;

        (b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with
the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to
the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and

        (c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a
financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a
Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the



                                       22

subject in the case of any second-lien HEL only to a single senior lien on such
mortgaged property and subject in all cases to the exceptions to title set forth
in the title insurance policy or attorney's opinion of title, with respect to
the related HEL, which exceptions are generally acceptable to banking

do not individually, or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the
benefits of the security intended to be provided by such Mortgage;

            (ix) Immediately prior to the transfer and assignment of the HELs by
the related Obligor to Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, such Obligor
held good and indefeasible title to, and was the sole owner of, each HEL

against by any title insurance policy referred to in paragraph (xvi) below;

            (xiv) Each Purchased HEL at the time it was made complied in all

note relating to the senior lien, insuring the mortgagee's interest under the
related HEL as the holder of a valid first or second mortgage lien of record on

valid and existing hazard insurance policy with a carrier generally acceptable

each Purchased HEL had full legal capacity to execute all documents relating to
such HEL and convey the estate therein purported to be conveyed;

            (xxi) Each original Mortgage was recorded or is in the process of

jurisdictions wherein such recordation is necessary to perfect the lien thereof
as against creditors of or purchasers from an Obligor;

            (xxii) The terms of each Note and each Mortgage have not been
impaired, altered or modified in any respect, except by a written instrument
which has been recorded, if necessary, to protect the interest of Buyer and
which has been delivered to the Custodian. The substance of any such alteration
or modification is reflected on the related Loan Schedule;

            (xxiii) The proceeds of each Purchased HEL have been fully
disbursed, and there is no obligation on the part of the mortgagee to make
future advances thereunder; any and all requirements as to completion of any
on-site or off-site improvements and as to disbursements of any escrow funds
therefor will have been complied with within ninety (90) days of such HEL being
sold to Buyer under this Agreement; all costs, fees and expenses incurred in
making or closing or recording such HELs were paid;

            (xxiv) The related Note is not and has not been secured by any
collateral, pledged account or other security except the lien of the
corresponding Mortgage;

            (xxv) No Purchased HEL has a shared appreciation feature, or other
contingent interest feature;

            (xxvi) Each mortgaged property is located in the state identified in
the respective Loan Schedule and consists of one or more parcels of real
mortgaged property;

            (xxvii) Each Mortgage, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
contains a provision for the acceleration of the payment of the unpaid principal
balance of the related Purchased HEL in the event the related mortgaged property
is sold without the prior consent of the mortgagee thereunder;

            (xxviii) Any advances made after the date of origination of a
Purchased HEL have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount
secured by the related Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as

exceed the original principal 




                                      B-4

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

amount of the related Purchased HEL; no Note permits or obligates the related
Obligor to make future advances to the related Mortgagor at the option of the

the boundaries and building restriction lines of such mortgaged property, and no
improvements on adjoining properties encroach upon such mortgaged property, and
are stated in the title insurance policy and affirmatively insured;

            (xxxi) No improvement located on or being part of any mortgaged
property is in violation of any applicable zoning law or regulation; all
inspections, licenses and certificates required to be made or issued with
respect to all occupied portions of each mortgaged property and, with respect to
the use and occupancy of the same, including but not limited to certificates of
occupancy and fire underwriting certificates, have been made or obtained from
the appropriate authorities and such mortgaged property is lawfully occupied
under the applicable law;

            (xxxii) With respect to each Mortgage constituting a deed of trust,
a trustee, duly qualified under applicable law to serve as such, has been
properly designated and currently so serves and is named in such Mortgage, and
no fees or expenses are or will become payable by the owner of the HEL to the
trustee under the deed of trust, except in connection with a trustee's sale
after default by the related Mortgagor;

            (xxxiii) Each Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions
which render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the
realization against the related mortgaged property of the benefits of the
security, including (A) in the case of a Mortgage designated as a deed of trust,
by trustee's sale and (B) otherwise by judicial foreclosure. There is no
homestead or other exemption other than any applicable Mortgagor redemption
rights available to the related Mortgagor which would materially interfere with
the right to sell the related mortgaged property at a trustee's sale or the
right to foreclose the related Mortgage;

            (xxxiv) Except to the extent permitted pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement, there is no default, breach,




                                      B-5

<PAGE>

violation or event of acceleration existing under any Mortgage or the related
Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the
expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach,

connection with any Purchased HEL, and no Mortgagor has been released, in whole
or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement which has been
approved by the primary mortgage guaranty insurer, if any, and which has been
delivered to the Custodian;

            (xxxvi) The maturity date of each Purchased HEL is at least twelve
months prior to the maturity date of the related first home equity loan if such
first home equity loan provides for a balloon payment;

            (xxxvii) Each Purchased HEL was originated based upon a full
appraisal, which included an interior inspection of the subject mortgaged
property;

            (xxxviii) No more than 10% of the aggregate original outstanding
principal balance is secured by mortgaged properties that are non-owner occupied
mortgaged properties (i.e., investor-owned and vacation);

            (xxxix) There do not exist any hazardous substances, hazard wastes
or solid wastes, as such terms are defined in the Comprehensive Environmental
Response Compensation and Liability Act, the Resource Conservation and Recovery
Act of 1976, or other federal, state or local environmental legislation on any
mortgaged property;

            (xl) The related Obligor was properly licensed or otherwise
authorized, to the extent required by applicable law, to originate or purchase

                                      B-6

<PAGE>


are for predetermined amounts at predetermined times; (v) the ground rent
payment is included in the mortgagor's monthly payment as an expense item in
determining the qualification of the mortgagor for such HEL; (vi) Buyer has the
right to cure defaults on the ground lease; and (vii) the terms and conditions
of the leasehold do not prevent the free and absolute marketability of the
mortgaged property. The outstanding principal balance of Purchased HELs with
related mortgaged properties subject to ground leases does not exceed 1% of the
aggregate original outstanding principal balance;

            (xlii) Neither Obligor has received a notice of default of any
first-lien HEL secured by any mortgaged property which has not been cured by a

                       OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE OBLIGORS

        1. Each Obligor is duly organized and validly existing as a [DESCRIBE
FORM OF ORGANIZATION] in good standing under the laws of the State of and has
power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this
Agreement and the Custodial Agreement. Each Obligor is duly qualified to do
business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the character of
the business transacted by it requires such qualification and in which the
failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on the business,
properties, assets or condition (financial or other) of such Obligor and its
subsidiaries, considered as a whole.

        2. This Agreement and the Custodial Agreement have each been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by each Obligor, and each constitutes a valid
and legally binding obligation of each Obligor enforceable against each Obligor
in accordance with its terms, subject, as to enforcement, to bankruptcy,
insolvency, reorganization and other laws of general applicability relating to
or affecting creditors' rights generally and to general equity principles.

        3. No consent, approval, authorization or order of any state or federal
court or government agency or body is required to be obtained by an Obligor for
the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the
Custodial Agreement.

        4. The consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and the Custodial Agreement will not conflict with, result in a breach
of, or constitute a default under the governing documents of either Obligor or
the terms of any indenture or other agreement or instrument known to us to which
an Obligor is party or bound, or any order known to such counsel to be
applicable to an Obligor or any regulations applicable to an Obligor, of any
state or federal court, regulatory body, administrative agency, governmental
body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over an Obligor.

        5. There is no pending or threatened action, suit or proceeding before
any court or governmental agency, authority or body or any arbitrator involving
an Obligor or relating to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement or the
Custodial Agreement which, if adversely determined, would have a material
adverse effect on Buyer.

        6. Each Obligor is duly registered as a finance company in each state in
which HELs were originated, to the extent such registration is required by
applicable law.

        7. Each HEL will have been endorsed in a manner which satisfies any
requirement of endorsement in order to transfer all right, title and interest in
and to that HEL from the related Obligor to Buyer. Each assignment of Mortgage
related to each such HEL is in recordable form and is sufficient under
applicable law to validly and effectively transfer all right, title and interest
of the related Obligor to Buyer. This Agreement together with (a) the delivery
of such related HELs to Custodian, (b) the endorsement of such HELs to Buyer and
(c) the delivery of the assignments of Mortgages related to the HELs to the
Custodian in recordable form assigning such Mortgages to Buyer, creates a valid,
perfected security interest in such HELs in favor of Buyer. Such security
interest will have the same priority and will be subject to the same security
interests and liens as apply to such HELs in the hands of the related Obligor.

                     3.2(b)  If  Pledged  Mortgages  or  Pledged  Subwarehousing
                Mortgages  are  to  be  transferred  to  a  pool  custodian  for
                inclusion  in a  Mortgage  Pool or a  Securitization  Pool or to
                FHLMC, FNMA or another Investor,  the Lender's security interest
                in such Pledged  Mortgages or Pledged  Subwarehousing  Mortgages
                shall be  released  only  against  payment  to the Lender of the
                Release  Amount in  connection  with such  Pledged  Mortgages or
                Pledged  Subwarehousing  Mortgages.  If  the  Lender's  security
                interest  in the  Pledged  Mortgages  or Pledged  Subwarehousing
                Mortgages  comprising the Mortgage Pool is not released prior to
                or  simultaneously  with  the  issuance  of the  Mortgage-backed
                Security or Company Security, then the Mortgage-backed  Security
                or Company Security,  when issued,  shall be a Pledged Security.
                The Lender's  security  interest  shall continue in such Pledged
                Mortgages or Pledged  Subwarehousing  Mortgages  and the Pledged
                Security.  The Lender  shall be entitled to  possession  of such
                Pledged Security in the manner provided below.

                     3.2(c) The Lender  shall  have the  exclusive  right to the
                possession  of  the  Pledged   Securities  or,  if  the  Pledged
                Securities are not to be issued in  certificated  form or are to
                be issued in certificated form and registered exclusively in the
                name of, and held by, a clearing  agency or its  nominee,  shall
                have  the  right  to have  the  book  entries  for  the  Pledged
                Securities  issued in the Lender's  name or the name or names of
                its  designees,  and the  Lender  shall  have the right to cause
                delivery of the Pledged  Securities  to be made to the Investor
                or the book  entries  registered  in the name of the Investor or
                the  Investors  designee  only against  payment  therefor.  The
                Borrowers acknowledge that the Lender may enter into one or more
                standing arrangements with other financial  institutions for the
                issuance of Pledged  Securities  in book entry form in the name
                of such other financial institutions, as agent or financial

                 intermediary  for the Lender,  and the  Borrowers  agree,  upon
                 request of the  Lender,  to execute  and  deliver to such other
                 financial  institutions the Borrowers'  written  concurrence in
                 any  such   standing   arrangements,   provided  such  standing
                 arrangements do not authorize the Lender to pledge such Pledged
                 Securities  (as  opposed  to  the  Lender's  security  interest
                 therein) to such financial institution.

                      3.2(d) Prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, the
                 Borrowers may redeem a Pledged Mortgage, Pledged Subwarehousing
                 Mortgage  or  Pledged  Security  from  the  Lender's   security
                 interest by  notifying  the Lender of its  intention  to redeem
                 such  Pledged  Mortgage,  Pledged  Subwarehousing  Mortgage  or
                 Pledged Security from pledge and either (a) paying,  or causing
                 an  Investor  to  pay,  to  the  Lender,   for  application  to
                 prepayment  of the principal  balance of the Note,  the Release
                 Amount  in  connection  with  such  Pledged  Mortgage,  Pledged
                 Subwarehousing  Mortgage or Pledged Security, or (b) delivering
                 substitute Collateral which, in addition to being acceptable to
                 the Lender in its sole  discretion  has a Fair Market Value not
                 less  than  the  Fair  Market  Value  of the  Collateral  being
                 released.

                      3.2(e)  Following the  occurrence of a Default or Event of
                 Default,  the Lender may, with no liability to the Borrowers or
                 any Person,  continue to release its  security  interest in any
                 Pledged Mortgage,  Pledged  Subwarehousing  Mortgage or Pledged
                 Security  against  payment of the Release  Amount in connection
                 with such Pledged Mortgage or Pledged Security.

                      3.2(f) The Release  Amount in connection  with any Pledged
                 Mortgage or Pledged Subwarehousing  Mortgage shall be (i) prior
                 to the occurrence of an Event of Default,  the principal amount
                 of the  Warehousing  Advance and the Premium  Advance,  if any,
                 made against such Pledged  Mortgage,  or of the  Subwarehousing
                 Advance  made against the  Subwarehousing  Loan secured by such
                 Pledged  Subwarehousing  Mortgage,  and (ii) from and after the
                 occurrence  and during the  continuance of an Event of Default,
                 the  amount paid to  the  Lender in a  commercially  reasonable
                 disposition  of  a  Pledged  Mortgage  or  the  amount  of  the
                 Subwarehousing   Loan  secured  by  a  Pledged   Subwarehousing
                 Mortgage.

                  3.3 Mark-to-Market.  If at any time the aggregate  outstanding
             principal balance of the Warehousing  Advances and premium Advances
             exceeds  ninety-nine  percent (99%) of the Fair Market Value of the
             Pledged   Mortgages  and   Pledged  Securities  (excluding  Pledged
             Securities to the extent backed by Pledged

             Subwarehousing  Mortgages),  then pledged hereunder,  the Borrowers
             shall within one (1) Business Day after Notice by the Lender either
             (a) repay the  Warehousing  Advances  and  Premium  Advances  in an
             amount  sufficient  to reduce the aggregate  outstanding  principal
             balance thereof to or below ninety-nine  percent of the Fair Market
             Value of such  Pledged  Mortgages  and  Pledged  Securities  or (b)
             pledge  to  the  Lender  additional  Mortgage  Loans  owned  by the
             Borrower's,   or  other  property  of  a  type  and  with  a  value
             satisfactory  to the  Lender  in its sole  discretion,  with a Fair
             Market  Value  sufficient  to increase the Fair Market Value of the
             Pledged  Mortgages,   the  Pledged  Securities  (excluding  Pledged
             Securities  to the extent backed by Pledged  Subwarehousing  Loans)
             and such other assets to any amount such that  ninety-nine  percent
             (99%)  of  the  aggregate  outstanding  principal  balance  of  the
             Warehousing  Advances and the Premium Advances does not exceed such
             Fair Market Value. The Borrowers authorize the Lender,  without the
             requirement of prior demand or notice from the Lender, to cause the
             Funding  Bank to charge the  Borrowers'  accounts for the amount of
             any prepayment  required  under this Section 3.3. Such  prepayments
             shall  be  applied  first,  to the  Premium  Advances,  ratably  in
             accordance with the outstanding  principal  balance of each Premium
             Advances,  and  second,  to the  Warehousing  Advances,  ratably in
             accordance   with  the  outstanding   principal   balance  of  each
             Warehousing  Advance. The Lender may at any time, and shall no less
             frequently than once each month, calculate the Fair Market Value of
             the Pledged Mortgages and the Pledged Securities (excluding Pledged
             Securities   to  the  extent   backed  by  Pledged   Subwarehousing
             Mortgages),  and the  Borrowers  shall  provide to the Lender  such
             information  concerning  the  Pledged  Mortgages  and  the  Pledged
             Securities  as the  Lender  may  request  in  connection  with such
             calculation.

                3.4  Release of Collateral.

                     3.4(a) The Lender may  deliver  documents  relating  to the
                Collateral to the Borrowers or, at the written  direction of the
                Borrowers  with respect to any  Subwarehousing  Mortgage Loan, a
                Subwarehousing Borrower for correction or completion pursuant to
                a Trust Receipt.

                     3.4(b)  Prior to the  occurrence  of a Default  or Event of
                Default,  upon  delivery  by  the  Borrowers  to the  Lender  of
                shipping  instructions pursuant to Exhibit D-SF, the Lender will
                transmit Pledged Mortgages,  Pledged Subwarehousing Mortgages or
                Pledged  Securities  and  all  related  loan  documents  or pool
                documents  to the  applicable  Investor,  Approved  Custodian or
                other party.

                     3.4(c)    Upon receipt of Notice from the Borrowers
                under Section 2.4(h) hereof, and repayment of the Release

                  to the Borrowers.

                  3.5  Collection and Servicing  Rights.  So long as no Event of
             Default shall have occurred and be continuing,  the Borrowers shall
             be entitled to service  and receive and collect  directly  all sums
             payable to the  Borrowers in respect of the  Collateral  other than
             proceeds of any Purchase  Commitment or proceeds of the sale of any
             Collateral.  Following the occurrence of any Event of Default,  the
             Lender or its designee shall  thereafter be entitled to service and
             receive and collect all sums payable to the Borrowers in respect of
             the Collateral,  and in such case (a) the Lender or its designee in
             its  discretion  may, in its own name, in the name of the Borrowers
             or  otherwise,  demand,  sue for,  collect or receive  any money or
             property  at any time  payable  or  receivable  on account of or in
             exchange  for  any  of  the  Collateral,  but  shall  be  under  no
             obligation  to do so,  (b) the  Borrowers  shall,  if the Lender so
             requests, hold in trust for the benefit of the Lender and forthwith
             pay to the Lender at its office designated by Notice hereunder, all
             amounts thereafter  received by the Borrowers upon or in respect of
             any of the Collateral, advising the Lender as to the source of such
             funds,  and (c) all amounts so received and collected by the Lender
             shall be held by it as part of the Collateral.

                  3.6  Return of  Collateral  at End of  Commitment.  If (a) the
             Commitment  shall  have  expired  or  been  terminated,  and (b) no
             Advances,  interest or other  Obligations  shall be outstanding and
             unpaid,  the Lender shall deliver or release its security  interest
             and shall deliver all Collateral in its possession to the Borrowers
             at the  Borrowers'  expense.  The receipt of the  Borrowers for any
             Collateral  released or delivered to the Borrowers  pursuant to any
             provision  of  this   Agreement   shall  be  a  complete  and  full
             acquittance  for the  Collateral so returned,  and the Lender shall
             thereafter  be  discharged  from any  liability  or  responsibility
             therefor.

         5. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

                  The Borrowers hereby  represent and warrant to the Lender,  as
             of the date of this  Agreement  and as of the date of each  Advance
             Request and the making of each Advance, that:

                  5.1 Organization; Good Standing:  Subsidiaries.  Industry is a
             limited  partnership  and each of IMC and the General  Partner is a
             corporation,  in each case duly organized,  validly existing and in
             good standing under the laws of the  jurisdiction of its formation,
             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 and in good standing in each  jurisdiction  in which
             the transaction of its business makes such qualification necessary,
             except in  jurisdictions,  if any,  where a  failure  to be in good
             standing  has  no  material   adverse   effect  on  the   business,
             operations,  assets or financial condition of Industry,  IMC or the
             General  Partner,  as  applicable.  For the purposes  hereof,  good
             standing shall include  qualification  for any and all licenses and
             payment of any and all taxes  required in the  jurisdiction  of its
             formation and in each  jurisdiction in which  Industry,  IMC or the
             General Partner, as applicable,  transacts  business.  Each Partner
             has made all capital contributions  required to be made by it under
             the Partnership Agreement, and no default by any Partner thereunder
             has occurred and is continuing.  None of the Partners has withdrawn
             from  Industry,   except  in  connection  with  a  substitution  or
             reorganization  of the  partnership  interests in Industry that did
             not  result  in any  net  withdrawal  of any  partnership  capital.
             Neither  Borrower  has any  Subsidiaries  except  as set  forth  on
             Exhibit G hereto.  Exhibit G sets forth  with  respect to each such
             Subsidiary,  its name, address, place of incorporation,  each state
             in  which  it  is  qualified  as a  foreign  corporation,  and  the
             percentage ownership of its capital stock by the Borrowers.

                  5.2 Authorization and  Enforceability.  The Borrowers have the
             power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement,
             the Note and all other Loan Documents to which


                                       32

            the Borrowers are party and to make the  borrowings  hereunder.  The
            execution,  delivery  and  performance  by  the  Borrowers  of  this
            Agreement,  the Note  and all  other  Loan  Documents  to which  the
            Borrowers are party and the making of the  borrowings  hereunder and
            thereunder,  have been duly and validly  authorized by all necessary
            partnership or corporate  action on the part of the Borrowers  (none
            of which actions have been  modified or rescinded,  and all of which
            actions  are in full  force  and  effect)  and do not and  will  not
            conflict with or violate any provision of law or of the  Partnership
            Agreement of Industry or the Articles of  Incorporation or bylaws of
            IMC,  conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default
            or require any consent under,  or result in the creation of any Lien
            upon any property or assets of,  Borrower other than the Lien on the
            Collateral   granted   hereunder,   or  result  in  or  require  the
            acceleration of any indebtedness of either Borrower  pursuant to any
            agreement,  instrument  or indenture  to which either  Borrower is a
            party or by which either Borrower or their respective properties may
            be bound or affected.  This  Agreement,  the Note and all other Loan
            Documents  contemplated  hereby or thereby constitute legal,  valid,
            and binding obligations of the Borrowers,  enforceable in accordance
            with  their  respective  terms,  except as  limited  by  bankruptcy,
            insolvency  or  other  such  laws   affecting  the   enforcement  of
            creditors' rights.

                 5.3  Approvals.  The execution and delivery of this  Agreement,
            the Note and all other Loan  Documents  and the  performance  of the
            Borrowers' obligations hereunder and thereunder and the validity and
            enforceability  hereof  and  thereof  do not  require  any  license,
            consent,  approval or other action of any state or federal agency or
            governmental  or  regulatory  authority  other than those which have
            been obtained and remain in full force and effect.

                 5.4 Financial Condition.  The balance sheet of Industry and its
            Subsidiaries,  on a consolidated and consolidating  basis, as at the
            Statement Date, and the related  statements of income and changes in
            partners'  equity  and  cash  flow  for  the  periods  ended  on the
            Statement Date,  heretofore furnished to the Lender,  fairly present
            the financial  condition of the  Borrowers as at the Statement  Date
            and the  results of their  operations  for the  period  ended on the
            Statement  Date. The Borrowers had, on the Statement  Date, no known
            material  liabilities,  direct  or  indirect,  fixed or  contingent,
            matured or unmatured,  or liabilities for taxes, long-term leases or
            unusual  forward  or  long-term  commitments  not  disclosed  by, or
            reserved against in, said balance sheet and related statements,  and
            at the present time there are no material  unrealized or anticipated
            losses  from  any  loans,  advances  or  other  commitments  of  the
            Borrowers  except as heretofore  disclosed to the Lender in writing.
            Said financial statements

             were prepared in accordance with GAAP applied on a consistent basis
             throughout the periods  involved  (except,  with respect to interim
             financial statements, for the absence of footnotes, and subject, in
             the  case of  interim  financial  statements,  to  normal  year-end
             adjustments).  Since the Statement Date, there has been no material
             adverse  change in the  business,  operations,  assets or financial
             condition of the Borrowers  (and their  Subsidiaries),  nor are the
             Borrowers aware of any state of facts which (with or without notice
             or  lapse  of time or  both)  would  or  could  result  in any such
             material adverse change.

                  5.5  Litigation.  There  are  no  actions,  claims,  suits  or
             proceedings   pending  or,  to  the  knowledge  of  the  Borrowers,
             threatened  or  reasonably  anticipated  against or  affecting  the
             Borrowers or any Subsidiary of the Borrowers in any court or before
             any arbitrator or before any government  commission,  board, bureau
             or other administrative agency 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,  or  which  would  affect  the  validity  or
             enforceability  of  this  Agreement,  the  Note or any  other  Loan
             Document.

                  5.6  Compliance  with  Laws.  Neither  the  Borrowers  nor any
             Subsidiary  of the  Borrowers  are in violation of any provision of
             any  law,  or of any  judgment,  award,  rule,  regulation,  order,
             decree,  writ or injunction of any court or public  regulatory body
             or  authority  which  might have a material  adverse  effect on the
             business,   operations,   assets  or  financial  condition  of  the
             Borrowers  as a  whole  or  which  would  affect  the  validity  or
             enforceability  of  this  Agreement,  the  Note or any  other  Loan
             Document.

                  5.7  Regulations  G and  U.  The  Borrowers  are  not  engaged
             principally, or as one of its important activities, in the business
             of  extending  credit for the  purpose of  purchasing  or  carrying
             Margin  Stock,  and no part of the  proceeds of any  Advances  made
             hereunder  will be used to purchase or carry any Margin Stock or to
             extend  credit to others for the purpose of  purchasing or carrying
             any Margin Stock.

                  5.8 Investment Company Act. Neither Borrower is an "investment
             company"  or  controlled  by an  "investment  company"  within  the
             meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                  5.9  Payment  of  Taxes.  The  Borrowers  and  each  of  their
             Subsidiaries  have filed or caused to be filed all  federal,  state
             and local  income,  excise,  property  and other tax  returns  with
             respect to the  operations of the Borrowers and their  Subsidiaries
             which are required to be filed all such returns


                                       34

             are  true  and  correct,   and  the   Borrowers  and  each  of  its
             Subsidiaries  has paid or  caused  to be paid all taxes as shown on
             such  returns or on any  assessment,  to the extent that such taxes
             have become due,  including,  but not limited to, all FICA payments
             and withholding taxes, if appropriate.  The amounts reserved,  as a
             liability  for income and other  taxes  payable,  in the  financial
             statements  described  in Section  5.4 hereof  are  sufficient  for
             payment  of all unpaid  federal,  state and local  income,  excise,
             property and other taxes, whether or not disputed, of the Borrowers
             and their Subsidiaries  accrued for or applicable to the period and
             on the dates of such financial statements and all years and periods
             prior thereto and for which the  Borrowers  and their  Subsidiaries
             may be liable in its own right or as  transferee  of the assets of,
             or as successor to, any other Person.

                  5.10  Agreements.  Neither the Borrowers nor any Subsidiary of
             the Borrowers are a party to any agreement, instrument or indenture
             or subject to any  restriction  materially and adversely  affecting
             its business,  operations, assets or financial condition, except as
             disclosed  in the  financial  statements  described  in Section 5.4
             hereof.  Neither the Borrowers nor any  Subsidiary of the Borrowers
             are in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any
             of  the  obligations,  covenants  or  conditions  contained  in any
             agreement,  instrument,  or indenture  which  default  could have a
             material adverse effect on the business, operations,  properties or
             financial  condition of the Borrowers as a whole.  No holder of any

                       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
                       retailed 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 Borrowers 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 private  sale or  disposition.  The
                  Borrowers  hereby  waive (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  Borrowers,  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 Borrowers  acknowledge  that  Mortgage  Loans,
                  Mortgage-backed   Securities   and  Company   Securities   are
                  collateral of a type which is customarily sold on a recognized
                  market.  The Borrowers  waive any right they may have to prior
                  notice  of  the  sale  of  any  Pledged  Mortgage  or  Pledged
                  Security, and agrees that the Lender may purchase any Mortgage
                  Loans,  Mortgage-backed  Securities or Company Securities at a
                  private sale of such  Collateral  conducted in a  commercially
                  reasonable manner.

                       8.2(f) The Borrowers  specifically waive and releases (to
                  the  extent   permitted   by  law)  any  equity  or  right  of
                  redemption, all rights of redemption,  stay or appraisal which
                  the  Borrowers  have  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  Borrowers  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 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


                                       58

                  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
                  Borrowers 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) The Borrowers  acknowledge  that the Borrowers and
                  the  Lender  may  from  time  to  time  hereafter  enter  into
                  agreements  ("Acknowledgment  Agreements") with FNMA, FHLMC or
                  any other  Investor  in order to obtain  the  consent of FNMA,
                  FHLMC or any other  Investor to the assignment of and security
                  interest  granted  in  the  Servicing  Contracts  pursuant  to
                  Section  3  hereof,  as the same may be  amended  from time to
                  time.   The   Borrowers    further    acknowledge   that   the
                  Acknowledgment   Agreements  may  contain  certain  provisions
                  concerning  the  enforcement  by the  Lender  of the  security
                  interest of the  secured  parties in the  Servicing  Contracts
                  subject  thereto.  The Borrowers agree that the disposition of
                  its rights in any Servicing  Contract pursuant to the terms of
                  the  applicable   Acknowledgment  Agreement  shall  be  deemed
                  commercially  reasonable  within  the  meaning  of  Section 9-
                  504(3)  of the  Uniform  Commercial  Code  of  Minnesota.  The
                  Borrowers  hereby  waives any claims it might  otherwise  have
                  against the Lender as a result of the Lender's compliance with
                  the terms of any Acknowledgment Agreement.

                  8.3  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:

                  First,  to the payment of  the costs and expenses of such sale
             or enforcement, including reasonable compensation to the


                                       59

<PAGE>


             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 interest accrued and unpaid on  the
             Note;

                  Third, to the payment of any other Obligations due (other than
             principal  and  interest)  under  the this  Agreement  and the Loan
             Documents;

                  Fourth, to the payment of the outstanding principal balance of
             the Note; and

                  Finally,  to  the  payment  to  the  Borrowers,  or  to  their
             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  such  sale,  disposition  or  other
             enforcement  are  insufficient  to cover the costs and  expenses of
             such  sale,  as   aforesaid,   and  the  payment  in  full  of  all
             Obligations, the Borrowers shall remain liable for any deficiency.

                  8.4 Lender  Appointed  Attorney-in-Fact.  The Lender is hereby
             appointed the attorney-in-fact of the Borrowers, 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  Borrowers or in its own name, to endorse
             all Pledged Mortgages or Pledged Securities payable to the order of
             the  Borrowers,  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 Borrowers  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.  Except as set forth in the preceding
             sentence,  the Lender agrees not to exercise the foregoing power of
             attorney  except after the occurrence and during the continuance of
             an Event of Default.

                  8.5 Right of Set-Off.  If the  Borrowers  shall default in the
             payment of the Note,  any interest  accrued  thereon,  or any other
             sums  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


                                       60

             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  Borrowers  against  and on  account of the
             Obligations  of the  Borrowers  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.

         9.  NOTICES.

             Copies of Notices need only be provided to the respective attorneys
             of the Lender and the Borrowers if such Notices relate to a Default
             or Event of Default,  to the exercise by the Lender of its remedies
             under Section 8 of this Agreement,  or to pending legal proceeding.
             No Notice  provided  to any  party to this  Agreement  as  required
             hereunder shall be ineffective  because of any failure to provide a
             copy of such Notice to the attorney of such party.

         10. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES; INDEMNITY.

             The Borrowers shall: (a) pay a documentation production fee of Five
         Thousand  Dollars  ($5,000)  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  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 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 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 (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
         Borrowers   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 Borrowers 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 Borrowers  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


                                       62

         disbursements  incurred in  enforcing,  or on appeal  from,  a judgment
         pursuant 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.

             The  Borrowers   shall  be  entitled  to  appoint  counsel  of  the
         Borrowers'  choice at the  Borrowers'  expense to represent  any of the
         Indemnitees in any action for which indemnification is sought (in which
         case the Borrowers shall not thereafter be responsible for the fees and
         expenses of any separate counsel retained by the Indemnitees  except as
         set  forth  below);  provided,  however,  that  such  counsel  shall be
         satisfactory to the Indemnitees. Notwithstanding the Borrowers election
         to appoint counsel for the  Indemnitees in any action,  the Indemnitees
         shall  have the  right to  employ  separate  counsel  (including  local
         counsel),  and the Borrowers shall bear the reasonable  fees, costs and
         expenses of such separate  counsel if (i) the use of counsel  chosen by
         the Borrowers to represent the  Indemnitees  would present such counsel
         with a conflict of interest,  (ii) the actual or  potential  defendants
         in, or targets of, any such action  include both an Indemnitee  and the
         Borrowers and the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded that there
         may be defenses  available to it that are different  from or additional
         to those available to the Borrowers, (iii) the Borrowers shall not have
         employed  counsel  satisfactory to the Indemnitees  within a reasonable
         time  after the  notice of the  institution  of such  action,  (iv) the
         Indemnitees shall have reasonably  concluded that, due to the financial
         condition of the Borrowers, not employing separate counsel could have a
         material adverse effect on the outcome of such action as its relates to
         the  Indemnitees,  or (v) the Borrowers shall  authorize  Lender and/or
         other  Indemnitees  to employ  separate  counsel at the  expense of the
         Borrowers. The Borrowers will not, without the prior written consent of
         the Lender and all other  Indemnitees  involved in the related  action,
         settle or  compromise  or  consent  to the entry of any  judgment  with
         respect to any pending or threatened claim,  action, suit or proceeding
         in respect of which indemnification may be sought hereunder (whether or
         not the  Borrowers  are  actual or  potential  parties to such claim or
         action)  unless  such  settlement,  compromise  or consent  involves no
         remedy other than the payment of money,  has been fully  satisfied  (or
         provision  satisfactory to the Lender for the satisfaction  thereof has
         been made) by the Borrowers,  and includes an unconditional  release of
         each Indemnitee from all liability  arising out of such claim,  action,
         suit or proceeding.

         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


                                       63

         (except to the extent otherwise  required to conform to good accounting
         practice).

         12.  MISCELLANEOUS.

                  12.1   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  Borrowers  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.

                  12.2  Assignment.  This  Agreement  may not be assigned by the
             Borrowers.  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,  provided that no such assignee may enforce this Agreement,
             the Note or such security interest, that the Borrowers may continue
             to  deal   exclusively   with  the  Lender   notwithstanding   such
             assignment.

                  12.3  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.

                  12.4   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.

                  12.5  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, provided
             that no Participant  may enforce this Agreement or the  Obligations
             and that the  Borrowers may continue to deal  exclusively  with the
             Lender with respect to this Agreement and the Obligations.  Without
             limitation  of the  exclusive  right of the Lender to  collect  and
             enforce such Obligations, the Borrowers authorize 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 Borrowers  which may be in the hands of such  Participant.  The
             Borrowers  authorize  the  Lender to  disclose  to any  prospective
             Participant  and any  Participant  any and all  information  in the
             Lender's  possession  concerning the Borrowers,  this Agreement and
             the Collateral.

                  12.6 Relationship of the Parties.  This Agreement provides for
             the making of Advances by the Lender,  in its capacity as a lender,
             to the  Borrowers,  in their  capacity  as  borrowers,  and for the
             payment of interest, repayment of principal by the Borrowers to the
             Lender, and for the payment of certain fees by the Borrowers to the
             Lender.  The relationship  between the Lender and the Borrowers are
             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  Borrowers,  as permitting or obligating  the Lender to control
             the Borrowers or to conduct the Borrowers' operations,  as creating
             any  fiduciary  obligation  on  the  part  of  the  Lender  to  the
             Borrowers,  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  Borrowers
             acknowledge 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 Borrowers  further  acknowledge that it is experienced
             with respect to financial  and credit  matters and has made its own
             independent  decisions  to apply to the  Lender  for  credit and to
             execute and deliver this Agreement.

                  12.7 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.

                  12.8 Operational Reviews.  From time to time upon request, the
             Borrowers shall permit the Lender or its  representative  access to
             its premises and records, for the purpose of conducting a review of
             the Borrowers'  general mortgage  business methods,  policies,  and
             procedures,   auditing  loan  files  and  reviewing  financial  and
             operational aspects of the Borrowers' business.

                  12.9 Consent to Jurisdiction. The Borrowers 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


                                       65

             Borrowers  by first class  registered  or  certified  mail,  return
             receipt requested, addressed to the Borrowers at their address last
             known to the Lender. The Borrowers agree 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
             Borrowers  hereby waive 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 Borrowers in any other
             jurisdiction or court, to the extent provided by law.

                  12.10  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.

                  12.11 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.

                  12.12 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.  THE BORROWERS 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) 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 BORROWERS AND
             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 AND THE  BORROWERS  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 THE  FOREGOING
             WAIVER OF THE RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL.  FURTHER,  THE BORROWERS 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.

extend such financial  accommodations  to the Company as the Company 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  Company is  indebted to the  Creditor in the
     principal amounts set forth below:

                                                     PRINCIPAL AMOUNT
                   TYPE OF FACILITY                  OF DEBT FROM THE

              __________________________         __________________________





             (Notes, if any, are to be delivered to the Lender)

2.   That all  claims of the  Creditor  against  the  Company  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 Company
     (and   all   extensions,   renewals,   modifications,    replacements   and
     substitutions  of or for the same), for so long as any such claim or claims
     or 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
     sue upon, any claim or claims now or hereafter  existing which the Creditor
     may hold against the


                                       1

     Company; (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
     Company to the  Creditor;  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
     Company, or commitment of the Lender to extend credit to the Company, 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company to the Lender (for this  purpose,  the Company  shall be deemed
     obligated  to the Lender so long as the Lender shall have  outstanding  any
     commitment  to make any loan to the  Company,  whether or not any such loan
     shall have been made or advanced).

5.   In the event  that any  Creditor  receives  a payment  from the  Company 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 Company for the benefit of creditors,
     (b) any bankruptcy  proceedings  instituted by or against the Company,  (c)
     the  appointment of any receiver for the Company's  business or assets,  or
     (d) any  dissolution  or winding  up of the  affairs  of the  Company,  the
     Company 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 Company 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


                                       2

<PAGE>




     hereafter  have against the Company 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 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 Company, 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  Company,  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 Company,  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 Company (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



                                       3

     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 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


                                       4

To:   Residential Funding Corporation
      8400 Normandale Lake Blvd., Suite 600
      Minneapolis, Minnesota  55437
      (hereinafter referred to as the "Lender")

     The undersigned  (hereinafter  referred to as the "Creditor"),  creditor of
IMC CORPORATION OF AMERICA, a Pennsylvania  corporation (hereinafter referred to
as the  "Company"),  desires  that the Lender  extend or continue to extend such
financial  accommodations  to the  Company as the Company may require and as the
Lender  may deem  proper.  For the  purpose  of  inducing  the  Lender to grant,

the Creditor agrees as follows:

1.   That at the present  time the  Company is  indebted to the  Creditor in the
     principal amounts set forth below:

               _________________________           __________________________




     (Notes, if any, are to be delivered to the Lender)

2.   That all  claims of the  Creditor  against  the  Company  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 Company
     (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
     sue upon, any claim or claims now or hereafter  existing which the Creditor
     may hold against the

     Company; (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
     Company to the  Creditor;  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
     Company, or commitment of the Lender to extend credit to the Company, 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company to the Lender (for this  purpose,  the Company  shall be deemed
     obligated  to the Lender so long as the Lender shall have  outstanding  any
     commitment  to make any loan to the  Company,  whether or not any such loan
     shall have been made or advanced).

5.   In the event  that any  Creditor  receives  a payment  from the  Company 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 Company for the benefit of creditors,
     (b) any bankruptcy  proceedings  instituted by or against the Company,  (c)
     the  appointment of any receiver for the Company's  business or assets,  or
     (d) any  dissolution  or winding  up of the  affairs  of the  Company,  the
     Company 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 Company 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


                                        2

<PAGE>




     hereafter  have against the Company 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 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 Company, 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  Company,  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 Company,  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 Company (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

          (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 rescinded or must  otherwise be returned by the Lender

     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

     borrowing  of the Loan and the  execution  and  delivery of and performance
     under the Agreement.

15.  Certificate  of Good  Standing  for IMC,  dated  _________________,  19___,
     issued by the Secretary of State of the State of Pennsylvania.(3)

     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  General  Partner,  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 General  Partner,
     and that such parties,  other than the  Borrowers and the General  Partner,
     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 the
     Lender.

D.   As to various questions of fact material to this opinion, we have made such
     factual  inquiries  of the  Borrowers  and the  General  Partner,  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 the officers of
     the  Borrowers,  with no inquiry as to the facts other than as necessary to
     establish that such reliance was reasonable on our part.

     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



- ----------
(3) A certificate of good  standing,  dated as of a date within ninety (90) days
    of  the  date  of  the  Agreement,  for  the  state  where  the  Company  is
    incorporated and for each stare  where the Company is  transacting  business
    as a foreign corporation should be listed.


                                       3

the assumptions  stated above in paragraphs A through D,  inclusive,  and in our
capacity as special counsel for the Borrowers, we are of the opinion that:

1.   Industry is a limited  partnership duly organized,  validly existing and in
     good standing under the laws of the  jurisdiction  of its formation and has
     the full legal power and  authority to own its property and to carry on its
     business as currently conducted.

2.   Industry is duly  qualified to do business  and is in good  standing in all
     jurisdictions  where the  ownership  of its  property or the conduct of its
     business makes such qualification necessary.

3.   Industry has the power and  authority  to execute,  deliver and perform the
     Loan  Documents.  The  execution,  delivery  and  performance  of the  Loan
     Documents by the Industry,  including  without  limitation,  the borrowings
     under the  Agreement and the pledge of the  Collateral,  have been duly and
     validly  authorized  by all  necessary  partnership  actions on the part of
     Industry.

4.   The Loan Documents  have been duly executed and delivered by Industry.  The
     Loan  Documents  constitute  the legal,  valid and binding  obligations  of
     Industry and are  enforceable  in accordance  with their  respective  terms
     against Industry,  except that  enforceability may be limited by applicable
     bankruptcy, insolvency,  reorganization or other similar laws affecting the
     rights of creditors, and general principles of equity.

5.   IMC is a corporation duly organized,  validly existing and in good standing
     under the laws of the  jurisdiction in which it is incorporated and has the
     full legal  power and  authority  to own its  property  and to carry on its
     business as currently conducted.

6.   IMC 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.

7.   IMC has the power and  authority  to execute,  deliver and perform the Loan
     Documents. The execution, delivery and performance of the Loan Documents by
     IMC, 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 IMC.

8.   The Loan  Documents  have been duly executed and delivered by IMC. The Loan
     Documents constitute the legal, valid and



                                       4






<PAGE>
<PAGE>




     binding  obligations of IMC and are  enforceable  in accordance  with their
     respective terms against IMC, except that  enforceability may be limited by
     applicable  bankruptcy,  insolvency,  reorganization  or other similar laws
     affecting the rights of creditors, and general principles of equity.

9.   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  financial
     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
     financial intermediary,  by book entry or otherwise, and (c) the sending by
     such financial intermediary to the Lender of confirmation of such notation,
     the Lender will have a valid and perfected first 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  financial  intermediary,  such  Pledged
     Securities will be free of any interest created through the Federal Reserve
     Bank, clearing corporation and/or financial  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.

10.  The execution,  delivery and performance by Industry of the Loan Documents,
     will not (i) conflict  with or violate any  provision  of the  Agreement of
     Limited  Partnership  of Industry;  (ii)  require any license,  approval or
     other  action by any  governmental  authority  that has not been  obtained;
     (iii) to the best of our  knowledge,  result in the  creation  of any lien,
     charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of Industry other than in
     favor  of the  Lender;  (iv) to the  best  of our  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 Industry
     pursuant to, any  agreement or other  instrument  to which  Industry may be
     bound or to which  Industry or any of its property  may be subject;  or (v)
     result in any violation of the provisions of



                                        5






<PAGE>
<PAGE>




     any law or,  to the best of our  knowledge,  any  order of any court or any
     governmental agency, to which Industry may be bound or to which Industry or
     any of its property may be subject.

11.  The execution,  delivery and performance by IMC of the Loan Documents, will
     not  (i)  conflict  with  or  violate  any  provision  of the  Articles  of
     Incorporation  or By-laws of IMC;  (ii)  require any  license,  approval or
     other  action by any  governmental  authority  that has not been  obtained;
     (iii) to the best of our  knowledge,  result in the  creation  of any lien,
     charge or  encumbrance  upon any  property  or assets of IMC other  than in
     favor  of the  Lender;  (iv) to the  best  of our  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 IMC
     pursuant to, any agreement or other instrument to which IMC may be bound or
     to which IMC or any of its  property  may be subject;  or (v) result in any
     violation of the provisions of any law or any order of any court or, to the
     best of our knowledge,  any governmental  agency, to which IMC may be bound
     or to which IMC or any of its property may be subject.

12.  To the best of our knowledge,  there are no actions,  suits, or proceedings
     pending or threatened against or affecting either Borrower, 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.

13.  The  making of the  Advances  as  contemplated  by the  Agreement  will not
     violate  Regulation  G of the Board of  Governors  of the  Federal  Reserve
     System.

14.  Neither  Borrower  is  an  "investment   company"  or  "controlled"  by  an
     "investment  company"  within the meaning of the Investment  Company Act of
     1940, as amended.

15.  The General Partner is a corporation  duly organized,  validly existing and
     in  good  standing  under  the  laws of the  jurisdiction  in  which  it is
     incorporated;  and  has the  full  legal  power  and  authority  to own its
     property and to carry on its business as currently conducted.

16.  The General  Partner has the power and authority to execute and deliver the
     Loan  Documents,  as the general  partner of Industry.  The  execution  and
     delivery  of the Loan  Documents  by the  General  Partner,  on  behalf  of
     Industry, have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary actions on
     the part of the General Partner and will not conflict with or violate any



                                       6

     provision  of the  Articles  of  Incorporation  or  Bylaws  of the  General

                         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 N 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  proceedings  against  such  Borrower;  (c) agree that no
release of the other  Borrower  or any other  guarantor  or  Obligor,  or of any
collateral, for the Other Borrower

<PAGE>




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.

     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 its  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 either
Borrower  or from any other  source,  shall be made on the  Obligations  and any
other  indebtedness  owed by either  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


                                      -2-

(as a  preference,  fraudulent  conveyance or  otherwise)  upon the  insolvency,
bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of either 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 either  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  either  Borrower or any other
Person of a case or  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  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.


                                      -3-

<PAGE>




     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 either Borrower now or hereafter held by the other
Borrower is hereby  subordinated  to the  indebtedness  of the  Borrowers to the
Lender, and such indebtedness of either Borrower to the other Borrower shall, if
the Lender so requests,  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.

     The Borrowers  further agree to deliver to the Lender such documents as the
Lender may  reasonably  request  with  respect to the  Supplemental  Collateral,
immediately  upon the  request of the  Lender  (whether  written  or oral),  and
thereof the Lender may exclude any  Supplemental  Collateral  from the Servicing
Portfolio if such  information  is not delivered or is not  satisfactory  in all
respects to the Lender.

     The Borrowers  further agree that this Agreement  shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the legal representatives,  successors or assigns of the
Lender.

     The  Borrowers  further  agree  that  all  rights,  interests,  duties  and
liabilities  arising hereunder shall be determined  according to the laws of the

     Treatment]  The Floating Rate will be adjusted as of  the effective date of
     each change in LIBOR.  The Lender's  determination  of the Floating Rate as
     of  any  date  of  determination  shall  be  conclusive and binding, absent
     manifest error.

        "LIBOR"  means,  for each calendar  week, the rate of interest per annum
     which is equal to the arithmetic mean of the U.S.  Dollar London  Interbank
     Offered Rates for one (1) month periods as of 11:00 a.m. London time on the
     first  Business  Day of each week on which the London  Interbank  market is
     open, as published by Knight-Ridder,  Inc. on its MoneyCenter system. LIBOR
     shall be rounded,  if  necessary,  to the next higher one  sixteenth of one
     percent  (1/16%).  If such U.S.  dollar  LIBOR  rates are not so offered or
     published  for any period,  then  during  such period  LIBOR shall mean the
     London  Interbank  Offered Rate for one (1) month periods  published on the
     first  Business  Day of each week on which the London  Interbank  market is
     open,  in the Wall Street  Journal in its regular  column  entitled  "Money
     Rates."

        "Premium  Advance Rate" means a floating rate of interest which is equal
     to   [certain    confidential   information  has  been  omitted  and  filed
     separately  with  the   Commission  pursuant  to a Request for Confidential
     Treatment] The Premium Advance Rate will be  adjusted  as  of the effective
     date of each  weekly change in [certain   confidential information has been
     omitted   and  filed  separately   with   the   Commission   pursuant  to a
     Request for Confidential Treatment]. The Lender's  determination   of   the
     Premium Advance Rate as of any  date of determination  shall be  conclusive
     and binding, absent manifest error.

     Prior to the  occurrence of an Event of Default,  the unpaid amount of each
Warehousing  Advance and  Subwarehousing  Advance shall bear interest,  from the
date of such  Advance  until paid in full,  at the Floating  Rate.  Prior to the
occurrence  of an Event of Default,  the unpaid  amount of each Premium  Advance
shall bear  interest,  from the date of such Advance  until paid in full, at the
Premium Advance Rate.

     The Borrowers  shall be entitled to receive  certain  benefits based on the
average monthly  Eligible  Balances of the Borrowers  maintained at a Designated
Bank.  After the end of each  calendar  month,  the Lender  will  calculate  the
interest due for the applicable  month, by electing a portion  ("Balance  Funded
Portion")  of the  Advances  which is equal to the  lesser  of (a) the  Advances
outstanding  during such month or (b) the average amount of Eligible Balances on
deposit with a Designated Bank during such month.  The Balance Funded Portion of
the Advances shall bear interest at

balance  funded  rates  of  (a) [certain   confidential  information  has   been
omitted  and  filed  separately  with  the   Commission  pursuant to  a  Request
for Confidential Treatment] for the Balance  Funded   Portion   of   Warehousing
Advances, and (b)  [certain    confidential   information   has   been   omitted
and  filed  separately   with   the    Commission   pursuant  to  a  Request for
Confidential Treatment] for the Balance Funded Portion of Premium Advances.

     The Balance Funded Portion of the Advances outstanding for a month shall be
determined by (a) first,  deducting the average amount of  Warehousing  Advances
and Subwarehousing  Advances  outstanding for a month from the average amount of
Eligible  Balances  during  such  month,  but only to the extent of the  average
amount of Eligible  Balances,  and (b) second,  to the extent Eligible  Balances
remain  for such  month,  deducting  the  average  amount  of  Premium  Advances
outstanding for a month from the remaining  average amount of Eligible  Balances
during such month,  but only to the extent of the  remaining  average  amount of
Eligible Balances.

     If, for any month,  a portion of the average  amount of  Eligible  Balances
remains  ("Remainder")  after the Balance Funded Portion has been deducted,  the
Lender  shall  provide  a benefit  in the form of an  "Earnings  Credit"  on the
Remainder portion of the Eligible  Balances  maintained in time deposit accounts
with the Designated  Bank, and the Lender shall provide a benefit in the form of
an  "Earnings  Allowance"  on the  Remainder  portion of the  Eligible  Balances
maintained in demand  deposit  accounts with the  Designated  Bank. Any Earnings
Allowance  shall be used first and any Earnings Credit shall be used second as a
credit  against  accrued  Miscellaneous  Charges  and fees,  including,  but not
limited to Non-Usage  Fees, 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 during the
calendar  year in which the benefit was received.  Any Earnings  Credit not used
during the month in which the benefit was  received  shall be used to provided a
cash benefit to the Borrowers.


     The Lender's  determination  of the Balance  Funded  Portion,  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 Borrowers  exceed
the Depository Benefit.

     Either party  hereto may  terminate  the benefits  provided for in the four
preceding  paragraphs,  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 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.

     Interest  shall be computed  on the basis of a 360-day  year and applied to
the actual number of days elapsed in each interest  calculation period and shall
be payable monthly in arrears,  on the tenth day of each month,  commencing with
the first month  following the Closing Date,  and on the Maturity  Date.  Except
with respect to interest due on the Maturity  Date, the Lender shall provide the
Borrowers  with a statement  of interest  due no later than five (5) days before
the date such interest is due. Failure of the Lender to deliver the statement of
interest to the Borrowers does not negate the Borrowers' obligation to pay.

     If, for any reason,  no interest is due on an Advance,  the Borrowers agree
to pay to the Lender an administrative  fee equal to one day of interest on such
Advance at the rate  applicable to such Advances  under the  applicable  section
hereof, as in effect on the date of such Advance.  Administrative and other fees
shall be due and  payable  in the same  manner as  interest  is due and  payable
hereunder.

     Upon and after the  occurrence and during the  continuation  of an Event of
Default  hereunder,  the Lender may give Notice to the Borrowers that the unpaid
amount of each Advance  shall bear  interest,  until paid in full,  at a rate of
interest  (the  "Default  Rate")  equal to four  percent (4%) per annum over the
applicable rate provided in the applicable subsection of this Section 2.4 or, if
no rate is  applicable,  the highest  rate then  applicable  to any  outstanding
Advance.

     The  Borrowers  may,  from time to time,  prepay a portion of the  Advances
pursuant to this Section 2.4(g) (any such prepayment is hereafter referred to as
a  "Buydown").  A Buydown  shall not entitle the Borrowers to the release of any
Collateral.  All or any  portion  of a  Buydown  may  be  reborrowed  hereunder,
provided no Default or Event of Default has  occurred  and is  continuing,  upon
written  notice to the Lender no later than 9:30 a.m. on the  Business  Day that
the  Borrowers  desire to reborrow  such  amount.  The Lender shall use its best
efforts to apply the  Buydown to reduce  interest  on the  Advances  as follows:
first,  Premium Advances;  and second,  other Advances.  In the event the Lender
receives a payment of Advances  that would,  as a result of the Buydown,  reduce
the outstanding  principal  balance of the Advances to an amount less than zero,
unless  an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the  Buydown,
or  a  portion  thereof  equal  to  such  excess,  shall  be  re-advanced to the
Borrowers.

     At  the end of each calendar quarter during the term hereof commencing with
the calendar quarter  ending on June  30, 1996, the  Lender shall determine  the
average  usage of the Commitment by  calculating the arithmetic daily average of
the Advances outstanding during  such calendar quarter (or,  in the case of  the
period  ending June 30, 1996, from the  Closing Date through June 30, 1996). The
Lender shall then subtract such quarter average usage (the 'Used Portion')  from
the  Commitment (and the result thereof shall be known as the 'Unused Portion'),
and the Borrowers shall pay in arrears, within thirty (30) days after the end of
each calendar quarter,  a Non-Usage  Fee (the 'Non-Usage Fee') equal to [certain
confidential  information  has  been  omitted  and  filed  separately  with  the
Commission pursuant to a  Request for Confidential Treatment]  per annum on  the
total  amount  of the  Unused Portion  of the  Commitment during  esuch calendar
quarter; provided,  however, that  no Non-Usage  Fee shall  be payable  for  any
Calendar Quarter in which the Used Portion equals or exceeds fifty percent (50%)
of  the average Commitment Amount in effect during such calendar quarter. If the
expiration date  of the  Commitment is  other than the last  day of  a  calendar
quarter, the Borrowers shall pay the prorated protion of the quarterly Non-Usage
Fee  due from  the beginning of  the then  current quarter to  and including the
expiration date. For the purposes hereof, quarters shall be defined as beginning
April 1, July 1, October 1 and January 1. In the absence of manifest error,  the
calculation  by  the  Lender  of  the  amount  of  any  Non-Usage  Fee  shall be
conclusive.

     The Borrowers 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,
charges for wire  transfers,  charges for security  delivery  fees,  charges for
overnight  delivery of Collateral to Investors,  Funding Bank's service  charges
and  Designated  Bank's  service  charges.  Miscellaneous  Charges  are due when
incurred,  but shall not be  delinquent  if paid within  fifteen (15) days after
receipt of an invoice or an account analysis statement from the Lender.

     All  agreements  between the Borrowers and the Lender are hereby  expressly
limited  so that in no  contingency  or event  whatsoever,  whether by reason of
acceleration  of maturity of the Agreement or the Note or  otherwise,  shall the
amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Lender for the use, forbearance, loaning
or  retention  of the  Advances  securea 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
Borrowers  and  Lender  and shall  also be  binding  upon and  available  to any
subsequent holder of the Note.

     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:

              Does or shall  subject the Lender to any tax of any kind
          whatsoever  with  respect to the  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);

              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 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 the Agreement, then, in any such case, the Borrowers
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 the  Agreement  or  Advances  made
thereunder,  provided, that the Borrowers shall not be obligated to pay any such
additional amount (i) unless the Lender shall first have notified



<PAGE>

the Borrowers in writing that it intends to seek such  compensation  pursuant to
this  Section,  or (ii) to the extent  such  additional  amounts or any  portion
thereof are  attributable  to the period ending 91 days prior to the date of the
first such notice with respect to the applicable legal or regulatory change (the
"Excluded  Period"),  except to the  extent any  amount is  attributable  to the
Excluded  Period as a result of the  retroactive  application  of the applicable
legal or regulatory change. If the Lender notifies the Borrowers in writing that
it is entitled to claim any additional  amounts pursuant to this paragraph,  the
Borrowers  shall  pay  such  amount  within  fifteen  (15)  days  thereafter.  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  Borrowers  shall be  conclusive  in the  absence of  manifest
error.  The  obligations of the Borrowers under this paragraph shall survive the
payment of all other Obligations and the termination of the Agreement.

     Your  acknowledgement  of this letter is a condition to the  willingness of
the Lender to make Advances under the Agreement.  Please acknowledge this letter
in the space provided below to indicate your agreement to the terms set forth in
this letter.
