GREENWICH INTERNATIONAL, LTD.
1 Jermyn Street, 7th Floor,
London, England SW1Y 4UH
28 March 1996
City Mortgage Corporation Limited
19 Cavendish Square
London W1A 2AW
Attention: David Steene
Managing Director
Dear Sirs,
PURCHASE COMMITMENT ("COMMITMENT") WITH RESPECT TO FIRST AND
SECOND MORTGAGE LOANS LOCATED IN THE UNITED KINGDOM
WHEREAS, Greenwich International, Ltd. or an affiliate thereof ("Greenwich" and
in its capacity as purchaser, the "Purchaser") has agreed to purchase, and City
Mortgage Corporation Limited on behalf of itself and its present and future
affiliates (collectively, the "Company"; and collectively as seller, the
"Seller") has agreed to sell, certain first and second ranking, primarily
residential, variable rate mortgage loans which are described herein;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained,
Greenwich and the Company confirm the following with effect from 1 January 1996:
1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE LOANS: Variable rate, first and second
ranking, primarily residential, mortgage loans originated or
acquired by the Company under the programs described in Exhibits
A-1 and A-2 attached hereto governed by mortgage loan and related
or ancillary documentation in a form to be agreed between the
parties hereto (acting reasonably and with due expedition) and
subject to the Company's Quality Control Manual and mortgaged
property evaluation processes (including the Customer Care
Booklets), in each case as varied from time to time with the
consent of Greenwich (the "Programs" and each a "Program") (such
loans, the "Loans"). In addition, the expression "Loans" shall
include all mortgage loans purchased by the Purchaser pursuant to
a Commitment Letter dated 26 May 1995 between the Company and
Greenwich.
<PAGE> 2
-2-
Loans generated under the Program referred to in Exhibit A-1 are
referred to herein as "Amortising Loans" and Loans generated
under the Program referred to in Exhibit A-2 are referred to
herein as "Interest Only Loans".
If the Company wishes to alter any Program or substitute a
Program it shall only be entitled to do so with the written
consent of Greenwich. When delivering a request to Greenwich for
a consent to any such alteration or substitution, the Company
shall simultaneously deliver to Greenwich a Program Approval
Specification in the form or substantially the form of Exhibit B
(as amended from time to time with the agreement of the parties
hereto and, in the case of Greenwich, such consent or agreement
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).
2. UNDERWRITING, ORIGINATION AND SERVICING OF THE LOANS: Each Loan
shall, in all material respects, comply with and conform to the
terms and specifications for the category of Loans of which it is
one set forth in the description in the relevant Program
applicable to such category of Loan.
Servicing of the Loans shall be performed by City Mortgage
Servicing Limited (the "Servicer") or, if required by investors,
credit enhancement providers or rating agencies, by a
sub-servicer or master servicer designated by Greenwich, pursuant
to the servicing procedures described in the Company's servicing
manual in the form agreed between the parties as at the date
hereof, as amended from time to time with the approval of
Greenwich, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld (the
"Servicing Manual") and in accordance with industry standards for
first and second ranking residential mortgage loans for
properties located in the United Kingdom, as applicable. All
Gross Interest and all Sale Premiums (each as defined below)
shall be paid to the Servicer for distribution in accordance with
Sections 5, 6 and 7. The fees payable to any such sub-servicer or
master servicer shall, unless otherwise agreed by the parties, be
paid out of the Servicing Fee Rate, the Primary Rate and the
Origination Rate (each as defined below), as agreed by the
parties.
Subject to the payment allocation priorities described in
Sections 5 and 6 hereof, out of collections of Gross Interest on
Amortising Loans sold to the Purchaser (a) the Servicer shall be
entitled on each Distribution Date (as defined below) to receive
a servicing fee (exclusive of value added tax at the applicable
rate) equal to one-twelfth of 0.35% (35 basis points) per annum
(the "Servicing Fee Rate") on the Stated Principal Balance (as
defined below) with respect to the Distribution Date of each such
Amortising Loan serviced by it and (b) the Company shall be
entitled on each Distribution Date to receive an amount equal to
one-twelfth of 0.65% (65 basis points) per annum (the "Primary
Rate") on the Stated Principal Balance with respect to the
Distribution Date of each Amortising Loan and a further amount on
each Distribution
<PAGE> 3
-3-
Date equal to one-twelfth of 1.50% (150 basis points) per
annum (the "Origination Rate") on the Stated Principal Balance
with respect to the Distribution Date of each Amortising Loan
(such amounts, among others, to be held on trust absolutely
for the Company). In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled
to retain any ancillary servicing revenues (e.g. insurance
commissions) as additional servicing compensation.
Subject to the payment allocation priorities described in
Sections 5 and 6 hereof, out of collections of Gross Interest
on the Interest Only Loans sold to the Purchaser (a) the
Servicer shall be entitled on each Distribution Date (as
defined below) to receive a servicing fee (exclusive of value
added tax at the applicable rate) equal to one-twelfth of the
Servicing Fee Rate on the Principal Balance (as defined below)
with respect to the Distribution Date of each such Interest
Only Loan serviced by it and (b) the Company shall be entitled
on each Distribution Date to receive an amount equal to
one-twelfth of the Primary Rate on the Principal Balance of
each Interest Only Loan and a further amount on each
Distribution Date equal to one-twelfth of the Origination Rate
on the Principal Balance of each Interest Only Loan (such
amounts, among others, to be held on trust absolutely for the
Company). In addition, the Servicer shall be entitled to
retain any ancillary servicing revenues (e.g. insurance
commissions) as additional servicing compensation.
"Gross Interest" means, with respect to a Loan, the sum of (i)
all collections allocable to interest on such Loan calculated
at the concessionary rate or at the non-concessionary rate, as
applicable excluding additional interest payable on default by
a borrower (which shall be the property of and be distributed
to the Seller) and (ii) all Rule of 78s Amounts received with
respect to such Loan and other payments receivable on the
early settlement, termination or repayment of such Loan. "Rule
of 78s Amounts" means, with respect to a Loan that is prepaid
(whether in whole or in part) by the related borrower, the
excess, if any, of (i) the amount of interest, other than
default interest, and principal paid by the borrower under
such Loan at the date of prepayment calculated in accordance
with the Rule of 78s method and the terms of the related Loan
(including any applicable period of deferment) over (ii) the
amount of interest and Principal that would be required to be
paid by the borrower under such Loan at the date of prepayment
calculated on an actuarial basis.
3. PURCHASE AND SALE OF LOANS: Except as otherwise provided
herein, the Company agrees that during the term of this
Commitment (i) it will offer to the Purchaser for purchase by
it, at the price described in Section 4 below and otherwise in
accordance with this Commitment, all of the Loans originated
or acquired by the Company and (ii) the Company will not sell
any Loans (other than any Loan offered to the Purchaser that
the Purchaser has
<PAGE> 4
-4-
theretofore advised the Company that it will not purchase
because it does not comply with the terms hereof) to any
person other than the Purchaser; provided, however, that such
covenants and undertakings shall not apply in respect of loans
made or offered to be made in the United Kingdom as at the
date of this Commitment pursuant to existing arrangements or
agreements to which the Company or Equity Group Holdings
Limited is a party as at the date of this Commitment to the
extent permitted under the Shareholders' Agreement referred to
below. In addition, the Company agrees that it will, for the
benefit of Greenwich and to the same extent as if Greenwich
were a party thereto, enforce the covenants and undertakings
relating to the foregoing made by the several parties to that
certain Shareholders Agreement, dated April 5, 1995, relating
to the establishment of City Mortgage Corporation Limited, in
Section 11 of such Shareholders' Agreement.
Subject to the terms hereof, the Purchaser agrees that during
the term of this Commitment it will purchase all Loans offered
to it by the Company that comply with the terms of this
Commitment. It is understood and agreed that the Purchaser
will not be required to purchase any Loan until such time as
(i) the Company and, if necessary or advisable, the Servicer
and the Purchaser shall have obtained all required or
appropriate licenses and authorisations to enter into and
consummate the transactions contemplated by this Commitment
with respect to such Loans, and (ii) any such Loan is no
longer subject to any related borrower's right to rescind such
Loan as provided under applicable laws and regulations.
Greenwich agrees that in the event that licensing or
regulatory approval is necessary or appropriate for it to
engage in the transactions contemplated hereby with respect to
Loans, it will promptly proceed with the necessary
applications. Greenwich, on behalf of itself and its present
and future affiliates, agrees that during the term of this
Commitment, without the consent of the Company, Greenwich will
not enter into any arrangements with a person other than the
Company (or an affiliate of the Company) with respect to
transactions substantially similar to the transactions
contemplated by this Commitment with respect to mortgage loans
similar to the Loans (including with respect to the credit
quality of the related borrowers) secured by properties
located in the United Kingdom.
4. PURCHASE PRICE FOR LOANS SOLD TO PURCHASER: The Loans shall be
sold by the Seller in multiple fundings (each a "Funding", and
the date on which such Funding occurs, the "Funding Date") as
described herein pursuant to one or more definitive agreements
by and between the Purchaser and the Seller, as described in
Section 8 hereof. It is expected that the Seller will request
the Purchaser to purchase Loans pursuant to this Commitment as
frequently as daily.
<PAGE> 5
-5-
On each Funding Date, the Seller shall sell and the Purchaser
shall purchase, for the consideration set out below (and
subject to the terms and conditions set out in the agreed form
of Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement ("Mortgage Loan Purchase
Agreement") to be entered into between the parties hereto as
soon as practicable after the date hereof in substantially the
form set out in Exhibit D hereto with any further amendments
required to give effect to this Commitment or such other form
as the parties may agree) the mortgages securing the Loans
together with, for the avoidance of doubt, all the interests,
rights and entitlements of the Seller in and to the relevant
Loans, and so that the Purchaser shall be entitled at any time
after the relevant Funding Date to complete the transfer of
legal title to the relevant Loans and undertake all necessary
registrations and notifications in that regard.
On and from such sale and purchase, the Purchaser shall hold
its interests, rights and entitlements in respect of the
relevant Loans on trust for itself and the Seller absolutely
in undivided shares equal to their respective entitlements
under Sections 5, 6 and 7 below, the agreement to declare such
trust to form part of the Purchase Price.
A. Initial Period and Interim Percentage.
(1) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, on each Funding
Date relating to Amortising Loans the Purchaser shall pay to
the Seller an amount in respect of each Amortising Loan the
subject of such Funding (each such amount expressed as a
percentage of the aggregate Cut-off Date Balance (as defined
below) of such Loans, an "Amortising Loan Interim Percentage")
equal to the lesser of (i) the Cut-off Date Balance of each
related Amortising Loan and (ii) the market value of each
related Amortising Loan as determined in good faith by the
Purchaser. In addition to such Amortising Loan Interim
Percentage, the Purchaser shall pay to the Seller accrued
interest on the Cut-off Date Balance of each Amortising Loan
from the date of origination of such Amortising Loan (or, if
later, from the date of purchase thereof by the Purchaser) up
to but not including the relevant Funding Date (the
"Amortising Loan Initial Period") calculated at the related
Remittance Rate (as defined below).
(2) Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, on each Funding
Date relating to Interest Only Loans the Purchaser shall pay
to the Seller an amount in respect of each Interest Only Loan
the subject of such Funding (each such amount expressed as a
percentage of the Principal Balance of such Loans, an
"Interest Only Loan Interim Percentage") equal to the lesser
of (i) the Principal Balance of each related Interest Only
Loan and (ii) the market value of each related Interest Only
Loan as determined in good faith by the Purchaser. In addition
to such Interest Only Loan Interim Percentage, the Purchaser
shall pay to the Seller accrued interest on the Principal
Balance of each Interest Only Loan from the date of
origination of such Interest Only Loan (or, if later, from the
date of purchase thereof by the Purchaser) up to but not
including the relevant Funding Date (the "Interest Only Loan
Initial Period") calculated at the related Remittance Rate.
<PAGE> 6
-6-
The "Remittance Rate" will be equal to 155 basis points plus
one month LIBOR, unless otherwise agreed by the parties. As
used herein, "LIBOR" means the percentage interest rate per
annum for the time being offered in the London Interbank
Market to prime banks for sterling deposits, as initially set
on the related Funding Date (or in the case of a Premium
Advance Amount (as defined below) loaned to the Company on a
date other than the Funding Date, the date such loan is
advanced to the Company) and re-set on such day each month as
the parties shall provide in the Flow Agreement (as defined
below). During such Amortising Loan Initial Periods or
Interest Only Loan Initial Periods, collections of Gross
Interest on the Loans shall be distributed as provided in
Section 5.
B. Subsequent Sale of Loans
(1) Amortising Loan Provisions. The sale price (expressed as a
percentage of the Disposition Cut-off Balance (as defined
below) of the related Amortising Loans; such percentage, the
"Sale Percentage") for any Amortising Loan will be determined
either (i) at the date that the pool of Amortising Loans that
includes such Amortising Loan is resold by the Purchaser or
transferred into a securitisation vehicle for the purpose of
issuing securities backed by such Amortising Loans (any such
resale or transfer and including any repurchase of a Sold Away
Amortising Loan (as defined below) by the Company, a
"Disposition") or (ii) at such earlier date as the parties
shall agree. The Company and the Purchaser shall participate
in the Sale Percentage to the extent (if any) set out in
Sections 6 and 7. The parties acknowledge and agree that a
Disposition may be structured in "steps" such that a pool of
Amortising Loans is first sold back to an affiliate of the
Company or the Company at a price equal to the aggregate of
the related Amortising Loan Interim Percentage and the related
Disposition Fee Percentage (as defined below) times the
related aggregate Stated Principal Balance (as defined below)
of such Amortising Loans together with interest on the Stated
Principal Balance at the Remittance Rate plus the Servicing
Fee Rate (or such other price as the parties shall agree) and
is then transferred by the affiliate or the Company at the
related Sale Percentage times the Disposition Cut-off Balance
(plus accrued interest as agreed) to a third party purchaser
or into a securitisation vehicle, the Company and the
Purchaser to participate in the Sale Percentage to the extent
(if any) set out in Sections 6 and 7.
Except with respect to Sold Away Amortising Loans, the Sale
Percentage with respect to any pool of Amortising Loans will
be equal to the market value of such Amortising Loans, as
determined in good faith by the Purchaser and, prior to an
event of default by the Company under the Flow Agreement, as
agreed to by the Company (each such determination and
acceptance, a "Final Pricing"). In connection with any
proposed Final Pricing, if Greenwich and the Company cannot
agree on the market value of an Amortising Loan, the Company
(upon reasonable prior notice) shall be permitted to
repurchase such Amortising Loan from Greenwich for resale to
an unrelated third party (each, a "Sold
<PAGE> 7
-7-
Away Amortising Loan") at a price to Greenwich equal to the
related Interim Percentage times the Disposition Cut-Off
Balance of such Amortising Loan, together with interest on the
Disposition Cut-off Balance of such Amortising Loan at the
Remittance Rate plus the Servicing Fee Rate.
The Company agrees that Greenwich (upon reasonable prior
notice) will have the right to establish the Sale Percentage
for any Amortising Loan that the Company proposes to
repurchase as a Sold Away Amortising Loan for which the
Company has received a bona fide purchase offer from a third
party, such Sale Percentage so established by Greenwich to
reflect the same economics to the Company as the offer to the
Company from such third party. Any such Amortising Loan for
which Greenwich so establishes a Sale Percentage will not be a
Sold Away Amortising Loan and the parties shall, thereafter,
proceed to complete the relevant Disposition at such Sale
Percentage.
(2) Interest Only Loan Provisions. The sale price (expressed
as a percentage of the Principal Balance of the related
Interest Only Loans; such percentage, the "Sale Percentage")
for any Interest Only Loan will be determined either (i) at
the date that the pool of Interest Only Loans that includes
such Interest Only Loan is resold by the Purchaser or
transferred into a securitisation vehicle for the purpose of
issuing securities backed by such Interest Only Loans (any
such resale or transfer and including any repurchase of a Sold
Away Interest Only Loan (as defined below) by the Company, a
"Disposition") or (ii) at such earlier date as the parties
shall agree. The Company and the Purchaser shall participate
in the Sale Percentage to the extent (if any) set out in
Sections 6 and 7. The parties acknowledge and agree that a
Disposition may be structured in "steps" such that a pool of
Interest Only Loans is first sold back to an affiliate of the
Company or the Company at a price equal to the related
Interest Only Loan Interim Percentage and the related
Disposition Fee Percentage times the related aggregate
Principal Balance (as defined below) of such Interest Only
Loans together with interest on the Principal Balance at the
Remittance Rate plus the Servicing Fee Rate (or such other
price as the parties shall agree) and is then transferred by
the affiliate or the Company at the related Sale Percentage
times the Principal Balance (plus accrued interest as agreed)
to a third party purchaser or into a securitisation vehicle.
Except with respect to Sold Away Interest Only Loans, the Sale
Percentage with respect to any pool of Interest Only Loans
will be equal to the market value of such Interest Only Loans,
as determined in good faith by the Purchaser and, prior to an
event of default by the Company under the Flow Agreement, as
agreed to by the Company (each such determination and
acceptance, a "Final Pricing"). In connection with any
proposed Final Pricing, if Greenwich and the Company cannot
agree on the market value of
<PAGE> 8
-8-
an Interest Only Loan, the Company (upon reasonable prior
notice) shall be permitted to repurchase such Interest Only
Loan from Greenwich for resale to an unrelated third party
(each, a "Sold Away Interest Only Loan") at a price to
Greenwich equal to the related Interest Only Loan Interim
Percentage times the Principal Balance of such Interest Only
Loan, together with interest on the Principal Balance of such
Interest Only Loan at the Remittance Rate plus Servicing Fee
Rate.
The Company agrees that Greenwich (upon reasonable prior
notice) will have the right to establish the Sale Percentage
for any Interest Only Loan that the Company proposes to
repurchase as a Sold Away Interest Only Loan for which the
Company has received a bona fide purchase offer from a third
party, such Sale Percentage so established by Greenwich to
reflect the same economics to the Company as the offer to the
Company from such third party. Any such Interest Only Loan for
which Greenwich so establishes a Sale Percentage will not be a
Sold Away Interest Only Loan and the parties shall,
thereafter, proceed to complete the relevant Disposition at
such Sale Percentage.
The Purchaser shall be entitled to a fee (the "Disposition
Fee") with respect to each Disposition of Loans. The
Disposition Fee will be calculated as follows:
(X) with respect to Loans other than Sold Away Loans
(whether Sold Away Amortising Loans or Sold Away
Interest Only Loans):-
(i) [ ] times the Disposition Cut-Off Balance or
Principal Balance, as the case may be, of the
first (pound) [ ] of Disposition Cut-Off Balances
or Principal Balances, as the case may be, of
Loans included in one or more Dispositions;
(ii) [ ] times the Disposition Cut-Off Balance or
Principal Balance, as the case may be, of the next
(pound) [ ] of Disposition Cut-Off Balances or
Principal Balances, as the case may be, of Loans
included in one or more Dispositions; and
(iii) [ ] times the Disposition Cut-Off Balance or
Principal Balance, as the case may be, of the next
(pound) [ ] of Disposition Cut-off Balance or
Principal Balance of Loans included in one or more
Dispositions; and
(iv) thereafter, a percentage of the Disposition
Cut-off Balance or Principal Balance as the case
may be, of all other Loans included in one or more
Dispositions as represents a fair market fee at
the time being for such Disposition; and Bracketed
("[ ]") sections represent redacted language for
which the Company has requested confidential
treatment. Such language has been filed separately
with the Commission.
Bracketed ("[ ]") sections represent redacted language for which the Company has
been granted confidential treatment. Such language has been filed separately

<PAGE> 9

(Y) in the case of Amortising Sold Away Loans or
Interest Only Sold Away Loans, the Disposition
Cut-off Balance or Principal Balance, as the case
may be, of the Loans included in such Disposition
times a percentage equal to [ ] of the percentage
that would have been applicable to such Loans as
described in (X) above if such Loans were not Sold
Away Loans, (such percentage, the "Disposition Fee
Percentage").
The "Cut-off Date Balance" of an Amortising Loan will reflect
the application of all payments of Principal (as defined
below) due on or before the close of business on the last day
of the month preceding the month in which the related Funding
Date occurs (such date or such other date as the parties
agree, the "Cut-off Date"), whether or not received, but will
not reflect the application of scheduled payments of Principal
due after the related Cut-off Date. The "Stated Principal
Balance" of an Amortising Loan will be the Cut-off Date
Balance of such Amortising Loan reduced by all Principal
payments paid by the borrower or advanced by the Servicer
pursuant to the Servicing Agreement since the related Cut-off
Date. The "Disposition Cut-off Balance" of an Amortising Loan
will reflect the application of all payments of Principal due
on or before the close of business on the last day of the
month preceding the month in which the related Disposition
occurs, whether or not received, but will not reflect the
application of scheduled payments of Principal due after the
date of the related Disposition. It is hereby agreed that any
documents entered into pursuant to Section 9 shall ensure that
any payments of Principal under the Amortising Loans due in
respect of a period prior to the date of the relevant
Disposition but not paid by the related borrower prior to such
Disposition will not be transferred to the purchaser of the
Amortising Loan transferred in such Disposition or the
securitisation vehicle, as applicable, but will be the
property of and will be paid over to the person that owned
such Amortising Loan at the date such payment was due.
The "Principal Balance" of an Interest Only Loan at any
relevant time shall be the original principal amount of such
Interest Only Loan reduced by all Principal payments received
from the borrower prior to such time.
5. CASH FLOW ALLOCATION PRIOR TO SECURITISATION OR OTHER
DISPOSITION OF LOANS: Collections (if any) allocable to
Principal on each Loan sold to the Purchaser but not included
in a Disposition will be remitted to the Purchaser as
Principal on each Distribution Date. Unless otherwise agreed
by the parties, the "Distribution Date" with respect to a Loan
will be such day each month as the parties shall provide in
the Flow Agreement (or, in the case of Loans that are included
in securitisation transactions, in the related Securitisation
Documents (as defined below)).
For the purposes of this Commitment, "Principal" shall
mean sums of principal relating to Loans as calculated by
reference to the relevant
Bracketed ("[ ]") sections represent redacted language for which the Company has
been granted confidential treatment. Such language has been filed separately
with the Commission.

mortgage loan and related or ancillary documentation
comprised in the Programs.
Collections of Gross Interest on each Loan sold to the
Purchaser but not included in a Disposition will be
allocated on each Distribution Date in the following
order of priority:
(i) To the Purchaser, to reimburse it for any Unrecovered
Losses (as defined below) suffered or incurred by it in
respect of the Loans;
(ii) To the Servicer, at the Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) To the Company or the Servicer, as the case may be, any
unreimbursed amounts advanced by such person in respect of
delinquent monthly instalments of interest and (if
applicable) Principal of such Loan or in respect of the
protection or preservation of the related mortgaged
property;
(iv) To the Company at the Primary Rate;
(v) To the Purchaser, at the Remittance Rate; and
(vi) To the Company, at the Origination Rate.
Any collections of Gross Interest remaining after the above
applications will be allocated in the manner described in Section
7, provided that the parties agree that any Disposition of Loans
structured in "steps" in accordance with Section 4B will involve
the sale by the Purchaser to the Seller of its entire interest in
the Loans and the on-sale by the Seller to the securitisation
vehicle or ultimate purchaser of the Seller's entire interest in
the Loans, the entitlements of the Purchaser as described in
Sections 6 and 7 to be satisfied out of any amounts due to the
Seller as a result of the on-sale and to be obligations of the
Seller to the Purchaser following the sale by the Purchaser of
its entire interests.
For purposes hereof, a "Loss" with respect to a Loan purchased by
the Purchaser shall mean the amount, if any, by which the amount
of proceeds allocable to Principal received upon the sale or
other disposition of such Loan or the related mortgaged property
(as the case may be) exceeds its Stated Principal Balance (in the
case of an Amortising Loan) or its Principal Balance (in the case
of an Interest Only Loan), together with any interest at the
applicable Remittance Rate due and unpaid with respect to such
Loan. The "Unrecovered Loss" with respect to a Loan and any
Distribution Date shall mean the amount, if any, by which the
Loss with respect thereto exceeds the aggregate amount that has
been paid to the Purchaser with respect to such Loan pursuant to
Section (5(i) hereof on prior Distribution Dates.
6. CASH FLOW ALLOCATION ON AND FOLLOWING SECURITISATION OR OTHER
DISPOSITION OF LOANS: Collections allocable to Principal on each
<PAGE> 11
-11-
Loan sold to the Purchaser and included in a Disposition will be
remitted to the related investors as Principal on each
Distribution Date. It is the intention of the parties that with
respect to each Loan sold to the Purchaser and included in a
Disposition, collections of Gross Interest and the amount (if
any) by which the Sale Percentage for a Loan exceeds 100%
multiplied by the Disposition Cut-Off Balance or Principal
Balance, as the case may be, of such Loan (the "Sale Premium")
will be allocated on each Distribution Date in the following
order of priority (unless otherwise agreed by the parties at the
time of such Disposition):
(i) To cover Ongoing Disposition Expenses (as defined below);
(ii) To the Servicer, at the Servicing Fee Rate;
(iii) To the Company at the Primary Rate;
(iv) To the Company or the Servicer, as the case may be, any
unreimbursed amounts advanced by such person in respect of
delinquent monthly instalments of interest and (if
applicable) Principal of such Loan or in respect of the
protection or preservation of the related mortgaged
property;
(v) To fund any reserve fund or other vehicle used to provide
credit support or coverage for losses on the Loans, as
determined pursuant to the terms of the related
Disposition;
(vi) To the investors, at the related coupon; and
(vii) To the Company, at the Origination Rate.
Any collections of Gross Interest and Sale Premium remaining
after the above applications will be allocated in the manner
described in Section 7.
"Ongoing Disposition Expenses" include the expenses and fees
(other than the servicing fee at the Servicing Fee Rate, the
primary fee at the Primary Rate, the origination fee at the
Origination Rate and interest on the securities) of the
securitisation vehicle, including, but not limited to, any swap
and hedging fees and expenses and any ongoing fees of third party
credit enhancement providers, liquidity providers and rating
agencies.
7. ALLOCATIONS OF REMAINING GROSS INTEREST AND SALE PREMIUM:
Aggregate collections of Gross Interest and Sale Premium
remaining after the allocations of Gross Interest and Sale
Premium described in Sections 5 and 6 will be applied in the
following order of priority: first, to pay accrued and unpaid
interest on and then to repay principal of any outstanding
Premium Advance Amounts;
<PAGE> 12
-12-
and second, any remaining amounts (the "Seller Net Cash Flow")
shall be paid to the Company.
For the purposes of the distribution of income and Principal
between the Seller, the Purchaser and any securitisation vehicle
pursuant to Sections 5, 6 and 7 and the beneficial entitlement to
that income and Principal for the purposes of this Commitment and
the prices payable by the parties for the Loans, it is agreed
that arrangements will be put in place whereby such amounts will
be held in trust (a receivables trust) for each of such parties,
and paid in the proportions and with the priorities set out in
Sections 5, 6 and 7.
8. FLOW AGREEMENT AND RELATED AGREEMENTS: Concurrently with (or as
soon as practicable after) the execution of this Commitment, the
Seller and the Purchaser agree to execute a Mortgage Loan
Purchase Agreement and a Servicing Agreement (together, the "Flow
Agreement") setting forth the terms of purchase and servicing of
one or more groups of Loans. A draft form of Flow Agreement is
attached hereto as Exhibit D. In addition, the Seller agrees to
co-operate with the Purchaser in preparing, and to execute, such
other reasonable and customary legal documents as are reasonably
determined by the Purchaser to be necessary to execute the Flow
Agreement.
9. SECURITISATION OR OTHER SALE OF LOANS: The Purchaser in its sole
discretion may at any time or times deposit Loans purchased
hereunder into one or more securitisation vehicles for the
purpose of issuing securities backed by such Loans.
In connection with such securitisation transactions, the Seller
agrees to co-operate with the Purchaser in preparing, and to
execute, such documents (the "Securitisation Documents"), among
the Purchaser, the Seller, a servicer, standby servicer or master
servicer of the Loans, a trustee and (if determined by agreement
of the parties) a liquidity facility provider and a "hosepipe"
facility provider (such servicer, standby servicer, master
servicer, trustee, liquidity facility provider and "hosepipe"
facility provider to be selected by mutual agreement of the
Seller and the Purchaser) to effect the transfer of the Loans to
the securitisation vehicle, to provide for the servicing of the
Loans and to create the securities collateralised by the Loans.
Such Securitisation Documents shall contain such contractual
provisions for transactions involving first and second ranking
residential mortgage loans as the Purchaser may reasonably
require, including but not limited to, servicing and loan
representations and warranties and repurchase/substitution
obligations of the Seller for breaches thereof which in form and
substance conform to U.K. secondary market standards for
securities backed by collateral similar to the Loans (as
reasonably determined by the Purchaser), such security payment
and total payment delay periods, or lack thereof, determined by
the Purchaser, advances of delinquent
<PAGE> 13
-13-
scheduled instalments of interest and Principal of the Loans
by the servicer (as applicable), advances of compensating
interest to cover prepayment interest shortfalls by the
servicer (to the extent of the servicing fee) (as applicable)
and such provisions with regard to servicing responsibilities,
investor reporting, segregation and deposit of Principal and
interest payments, custody of the Loans, and other covenants
as are reasonably required by the Purchaser, any third-party
credit enhancement provider and one or more internationally
recognised rating agencies for "AAA" rated first and second
ranking residential mortgage loan-backed transactions, unless
otherwise mutually agreed.
In addition, the Seller (or an affiliate) may also elect, with
the Purchaser's written consent (which consent will not be
unreasonably withheld), to initially hold one or more classes
of securities issued in a securitisation of the Loans, which
will be reflected in the pricing of the related Loans. The
Seller agrees that in the event that it or an affiliate
initially holds any class or classes of securities issued in a
securitisation of the Loans and such holder subsequently
determines to dispose of such securities, the Purchaser (or an
affiliate of the Purchaser) shall, at the Purchaser's option,
have a right of first refusal to purchase such securities from
such holder or the exclusive right to act as placement agent
or broker for such holder in any disposition by it of such
securities; provided that the fee payable to the Purchaser (or
such affiliate) shall be a reasonable fee based on, among
other things, the market for such securities, as determined in
good faith by the Purchaser.
The Seller agrees to co-operate with the Purchaser in
preparing, and to provide to the Purchaser for inclusion in
any offering material such information regarding the Seller,
its financial condition and its loan delinquency, mortgage
enforcement and loss experience as shall be reasonably
requested by the Purchaser, along with such other financial
information regarding the Loans and the Company as shall be
reasonably requested by the Purchaser. The Seller and the
Purchaser shall each indemnify the other for material
misstatements or omissions (and alleged material misstatements
or omissions) contained in any information provided by or upon
the direction of such person for inclusion in such offering
material. The Seller agrees to co-operate with the Purchaser
and independent accountants to allow such accountants to
deliver a letter acceptable to the Purchaser regarding the
financial status of the Seller and the characteristics of the
Loans. The Seller also agrees to deliver or to execute such
other legal documents and opinions of in-house and external
counsel as are customarily delivered by originators and
servicers and reasonably determined by the Purchaser to be
necessary to create the loan-backed securities referred to
above. At the option of the Purchaser, the facilities of the
Euroclear System and CEDEL S.A. may be used in connection with
any class of securities issued
<PAGE> 14
-14-
pursuant to any Securitisation Documents. In addition, one or
more classes of such securities may be listed on a securities
exchange and the issuance of such securities may be effected
through the use of one or more offshore securitisation
vehicles.
In addition, if requested by the Purchaser, the Seller agrees
to (i) participate in meetings with prospective purchasers of
the Loans or interests therein and provide information
reasonably requested by such purchasers, (ii) participate in
meetings with rating agencies, bond insurers and such other
parties as the Purchaser shall designate and (iii) co-operate
fully and reasonably with the Purchaser to create the
loan-backed securities referred to above.
The parties agree to co-operate in structuring and documenting
the transactions contemplated herein in a manner that promotes
tax efficiency for each party. In particular, the parties
agree that such structuring may involve the creation of a
receivables trust for the purpose (prior to securitisation) of
dividing up and allocating receipts from the Loans between the
Purchaser and the Company in the manner provided herein. For
this purpose, ownership of the Loans may be transferred to
such trust and the parties hereby agree to co-operate in
amending this Commitment, the Flow Agreement and any other
related arrangements accordingly. The parties acknowledge and
agree that a similar trust may be used in connection with a
securitisation of the Loans.
The method of effecting any Disposition and the related
structuring shall be as mutually agreed by the parties (such
agreement not to be unreasonably withheld).
10. PREMIUM ADVANCE AMOUNTS AND PLEDGE OF SELLER NET CASH FLOW:
Greenwich agrees that it will upon at least one business day's
notice given by the Company (which notice shall specify the
date for the relevant lending, but so that no such lending
shall be made after 1 May 2000) lend to the Company in respect
of Amortising Loans only, by remittance to the Company's
account at National Westminster Bank plc, Sort Code [ ],
Account No. [ ] or such other UK bank account as the Company
may designate, (on a secured basis as described below) an
amount equal to the sum (in respect of Amortising Loans only)
of (i) [ ] (as defined below), (ii) [ ] (as defined below),
(iii) [ ], (iv) [ ] (as defined below) and (v) such other fees
and expenses incurred by the Company in connection with the
Amortising Loans sold to the Purchaser pursuant to this
Commitment as the parties shall agree (the aggregate amount of
funds loaned to the Company is referred to herein as the
"Premium Advance Amounts") provided that the amount of the
Premium Advance Amount with respect to any Amortising Loan
shall be decreased if necessary such that the sum of the
Premium Advance Amount and the Amortising Loan Interim
Percentage of
Bracketed ("[ ]") sections represent redacted language for which the Company has
been granted confidential treatment. Such language has been filed separately
with the Commission.
<PAGE> 15
-15-
the Cut-Off Date Balance of such Amortising Loan shall not
exceed [ ]% of the market value of such Amortising Loan. The
Company shall pay to the Purchaser interest at a per annum rate
equal to one month LIBOR plus 255 basis points (unless
otherwise agreed by the parties) on the aggregate unpaid
Premium Advance Amount from time to time, payable on the
fifteenth day of each month (or if such fifteenth day is not a
business day, on the next succeeding business day) in
immediately available funds and otherwise in accordance with
instructions received from the Purchaser. The Seller agrees
that it will pledge to the Purchaser (and will grant to the
Purchaser a first priority charge on) all Seller Net Cash Flow
(as defined in Section 7) in the form of Charge and Assignment
by way of Security exhibited hereto as Exhibit E to secure the
repayment (inter alia) of any and all Premium Advance Amounts
and interest thereon as described above. The Company agrees
that so long as any Premium Advance Amounts remain unpaid the
Company will not declare or pay any dividends.
All outstanding Premium Advance Amounts (together with accrued
and unpaid interest thereon) shall become immediately due and
payable upon the earlier of (i) the termination or expiration
of this Commitment and (ii) 31 December, 2000.
"Origination Expenses" means (in each case as determined on a
"cash" basis) (i) applicable broker's fees, other direct costs
incurred by the Company in connection with the origination or
acquisition of Amortising Loans sold to the Purchaser and (ii)
an allocable portion of indirect costs and expenses (including,
with the prior agreement of the Purchaser (which agreement
shall not be unreasonably withheld), extraordinary items)
associated with the origination and acquisition of such
Amortising Loans (i.e., overhead costs) as reasonably
determined by the parties.
The "Disposition Shortfall" with respect to any Amortising Loan
means the amount, if any, equal to (a) the number of percentage
points by which the Amortising Loan Interim Percentage for such
Amortising Loan exceeds the related Sale Percentage times (b)
the Disposition Cut-off Balance.
The parties anticipate that the Origination Expenses will
initially be equal to 7% of the Cut-off Date Balance of the
related Amortising Loans. Unless otherwise agreed by the
parties, the aggregate amount of Premium Advance Amounts
outstanding will not exceed the lesser of (i) 7% of the
aggregate of the Stated Principal Balances of the Amortising
Loans sold to the Purchaser and (ii) (pound)10,000,000. The
parties agree to review, from time to time, the type and amount
of indirect expenses (i.e., overhead) allocated to each
Amortising Loan as Origination Expenses. To the extent
practicable, the Company and Greenwich will prepare a formula
(or a more formal procedure) for determining the amount
Bracketed ("[ ]") sections represent redacted language for which the Company has
been granted confidential treatment. Such language has been filed separately
with the Commission.
<PAGE> 16
of indirect expenses associated with originating and acquiring
mortgage loans that will be allocated to an individual
Amortising Loan and included in the related Origination Expenses.
11. DELIVERY OF LOAN FILES: All legal documents relating to each Loan
purchased pursuant to this Commitment, including, but not limited
to, all documents as are reasonably deemed by Greenwich or
Greenwich's counsel to be necessary to evidence ownership of the
Loans (collectively, the "Loan Files"), shall be held to the
order of Greenwich upon such terms as shall be agreed by the
parties. All Loans referred to herein shall be delivered by the
Company to the solicitor or other third party designated by
Greenwich to hold such Loans ("Custodian") to the order of
Greenwich free and clear of all encumbrances, in a form
reasonably commercially acceptable to the parties.
Greenwich may decline to purchase any Loan as to which any defect
in the related Loan File is discovered which, in the reasonable
judgment of Greenwich, materially affects the value of such Loan
or the interest of Greenwich in such Loan.
The Company will bear the risk of loss of the Loans and related
files in connection with the delivery of such documents to the
Custodian.
12. REPURCHASE OF LOANS: The Seller shall have the obligation to
repurchase any Loan that in the reasonable judgment of the
Purchaser does not meet the terms of this Commitment or is
defective in a way which materially adversely affects the value
of such Loan or Greenwich's interest in such Loan (which without
prejudice to the next sentence, the parties agree shall not mean
by reference to any subsequent delinquency of such Loan occurring
after the related Funding Date). In addition, the Seller shall
have the obligation to repurchase any Loan where the borrower
thereunder has failed to discharge in full the first scheduled
payment of interest and/or Principal, as the case may be,
thereunder. Any such repurchase of a Loan shall be accomplished
by (1) payment to Purchaser of an amount equal to the Interim
Percentage applicable thereto (as defined in Section 4 herein),
times the Stated Principal Balance or, as the case may be,
Principal Balance of the Loan, plus accrued interest at the
Remittance Rate plus the Servicing Fee Rate, (2) release to the
Seller of all original documents held to the order of Greenwich
(as described in Section 11) and such transfer agreements and
assignments necessary to transfer the ownership of such
repurchased Loans back to the Seller and (3) the authorisation,
execution and delivery of any officer's certificates, legal
opinions, agreements and all other relevant documents that may be
necessary to accomplish such repurchase. In addition and if
applicable, at the time of its repurchase thereof, the Company
shall be required to prepay in full to Greenwich the portion of
any
<PAGE> 17
-17-
Premium Advance Amount remaining unpaid with respect to a Loan
repurchased pursuant to this Section 12.
13. UP-FRONT FEES AND EXPENSES: Except as provided below and unless
otherwise agreed by the parties, the Seller will pay all
reasonable and customary fees and expenses in connection with the
transactions contemplated hereby (collectively, "Up-front Fees"),
including:
O such proportion of the costs and expenses of the Purchaser's
legal counsel in connection with preparation of the Flow
Agreement and any further agreements to accomplish the
Purchaser's sale of all or part of the Loans in
participation format or as loan-backed securities as shall
be agreed between the parties hereto
O all costs and expenses incurred by any Custodian of the Loan
Files relating to the establishment of the arrangements
pursuant to which the Loan Files will be held to the order
of the Purchaser (or its designee) and the initial loan file
review(s)
O in connection with any securitisation of the Loans, all
up-front fees and expenses relating to the issuance of
loan-backed securities, including, but not limited to,
Purchaser's loan review and due diligence, the fees and
expenses of legal counsel, securities registration and
listing fees and expenses (if applicable), rating agencies'
fees, bond insurer or other credit enhancement provider fees
and expenses, costs of printing of disclosure documents and
definitive certificates, up-front trustee fees (including
legal and acceptance) and accountants' comfort letters
relating to loan review and financial disclosure
O all up-front fees and expenses of legal counsel and other
representatives and consultants engaged by the Company in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this
Commitment
O all up-front fees and expenses related to preparation of the
Loans for delivery (e.g., assignments/endorsements,
recordation and shipping) in connection with the purchase
and
<PAGE> 18
-18-
in connection with any repurchase contemplated under
Section 12
The Seller shall also reimburse the Purchaser for travel and
other reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in
connection with the arrangement contemplated by this
Commitment not to exceed $100,000 within any twelve-month
period beginning on 1 January of each year and ending on 31
December of that year, commencing on 1 January 1996 until
three months after the termination of this Commitment.
14. LOAN REVIEW: The obligations of Greenwich to purchase Loans
pursuant to this Commitment are subject to Greenwich's
standard loan due diligence review, which Greenwich expects
to include (but may not be limited to) a thorough review of
the files and documents relating to all or a part of the
Loans and an evaluation of the property, if any, securing
particular Loans. Prior to each Funding Date the Company
shall provide to Greenwich such information in computer
readable form regarding the Loans to be purchased and (if
applicable) the applicable borrower's payment history (i.e.,
number of times delinquent within the past twelve to
twenty-four months and the severity of such delinquency) as
Greenwich shall reasonably request.
15. CHANGE IN CONDITION: Greenwich shall not be obligated to
purchase Loans pursuant to this Commitment if, on or prior
to any Funding Date, there shall have occurred any material
adverse change in the condition of the Company (financial,
business prospects or otherwise) which, in the reasonable
judgment of Greenwich, is likely to adversely affect the
Disposition of Loans as contemplated by this Commitment or
hinder or prevent the Company from performing its
obligations hereunder (including, but not limited to, the
obligation to honour representations and warranties with
respect to the Loans and the related repurchase/substitution
obligations for breaches thereof).
16. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS TO GREENWICH'S OBLIGATIONS: The
Company shall, prior to the first Funding of any Loans by
the Purchaser under this Commitment, have a minimum net
worth of $2,000,000, consisting of at least $1,000,000 in
cash or cash equivalents with the balance consisting of
uncalled share capital. Greenwich shall not be obligated to
purchase Loans or loan Premium Advance Amounts pursuant to
this Commitment if at any time the Company after the first
Funding Date fails to maintain net worth of at least the
greater of $1,000,000 and 70% of the net worth at the
previous year end (without giving effect to any
extraordinary acceleration of amortisation of goodwill or
similar items) consisting of at least (a) $250,000 in cash
and cash equivalents, other than for a period of less than
sixty consecutive days and (b) $100,000 in cash and cash
equivalents at all times, with the balance in each case
consisting of uncalled share capital.
<PAGE> 19
-19-
The assets of the Company for purposes of this Section 16
shall be adjusted to include the recognition by the Company
of a reasonable amount in respect of Rule of 78s Amounts, as
agreed by the parties and uncalled share capital shall be
treated as an asset.
17. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL ON OTHER ASSETS: The Company agrees
that during the term of this Commitment, without the consent
of Greenwich, the Company will not sell any first and second
ranking residential mortgage loans not otherwise covered by
this Commitment or any other agreement of a similar nature
between Greenwich and the Company, any other mortgage loans
or any consumer or other receivables products originated or
acquired by the Company (collectively, the "Assets") to any
person other than Greenwich or engage any person other than
Greenwich to purchase, restructure or market, any such
Assets without first giving Greenwich an opportunity to
purchase, restructure or market such Assets, as the case may
be. Within 10 business days after the Company makes such
Assets and such information regarding the Assets, as
Greenwich shall reasonably request, available to Greenwich,
Greenwich shall notify the Company whether it intends to
purchase such Assets. Greenwich and the Company anticipate
that in the event any such Assets are to be purchased,
restructured or marketed by Greenwich, the parties will
enter into a commitment letter with respect thereto
containing substantive provisions similar to the provisions
contained in this Commitment, including (without limitation)
the provisions contained in Section 3 hereof. The principal
balance of any Assets purchased, restructured or marketed by
Greenwich will not be included in determining the principal
balance of Loans to which this Commitment applies, as
described in Section 19.
18. MANDATORY DELIVERY OF LOANS: Delivery to Greenwich by the
Company of the related Loans on each Funding Date pursuant
to the terms of this Commitment shall be mandatory;
provided, however, that Greenwich shall have the right, at
its sole discretion, to waive compliance by the Company with
any of the terms or conditions to which it is subject
hereunder. Any waiver of compliance pursuant to the
immediately preceding sentence shall in no way affect the
validity or enforceability of any of the other provisions of
this Commitment.
19. EXPIRATION: This Commitment to purchase Loans shall expire
on 31 December 2015. Expiration of this Commitment shall in
no way limit or diminish any obligations, rights or
liabilities of the parties hereto arising prior to such
expiration with respect to Loans previously purchased by the
Purchaser pursuant to this Commitment (including, without
limitation, the Seller's rights to receive any Seller Net
Cash Flow).
<PAGE> 20
-20-
20. EXTENSION/RENEWAL: This Commitment may be extended or
renewed at any time by the parties hereto, notwithstanding
any previous expiration of the Commitment pursuant to
Section 19 hereof. Such extension or renewal may be effected
by a separate written instrument executed by the parties
hereto, evidencing the consent of each party hereto, in its
respective capacity hereunder, to such extension or renewal.
21. GREENWICH RIGHT TO TERMINATE COMMITMENT: The parties agree
that Greenwich shall, in its sole option, have the right to
terminate its obligations to purchase additional Loans or
make additional Premium Advance Amounts pursuant to this
Commitment in the event that within two years after the date
hereof the Company shall not have offered to Greenwich for
purchase hereunder Loans having aggregate Cut-off Date
Balances and Principal Balances of at least
(pound)75,000,000 and at least(pound)50,000,000 in each
subsequent year. Any such termination of such obligations
shall in no way diminish any obligations, rights or
liabilities of the parties hereto arising prior to such
termination, with respect to Loans previously purchased
pursuant to this Commitment (including, without limitation,
the Seller's rights to receive any Seller Net Cash Flow).
22. NORTHERN IRELAND LOANS: In the event that the Company
proposes to sell to the Purchaser Loans secured by
properties in Northern Ireland, the parties agree to
co-operate (and instruct local attorneys accordingly, the
costs of which shall be borne by the Seller) in order to
structure and document the transactions contemplated by this
Commitment so as to be fully effective under Northern
Ireland law, as applicable.
23. SUCCESSORS: This Commitment shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of the Company and Greenwich and their
respective successors and assigns, but may not be assigned
by either party (except by Greenwich to an affiliate)
without the prior written consent of the other.
24. MERGERS: This Commitment (together with any documents
executed pursuant to the terms hereof and the letter
agreement dated 28 March 1996 between the parties hereto
providing, inter alia, for the termination of a Commitment
Letter dated 26 May 1995) contains the entire agreement
between Greenwich and the Company with respect to the
purchase and sale of the Loans and may be modified only by
written instrument, which instrument shall evidence the
consent of each party.
25. MODIFICATIONS: The Company and Greenwich agree to co-operate
in any necessary modifications to this Commitment to reflect
any change to the structure of the transaction contemplated
herein, whether such changes are based upon legal
requirements or otherwise.

26. MODIFICATIONS: The Company and Greenwich agree to co-operate
in any necessary modifications to this Commitment to reflect
any change to the structure of the transaction contemplated
herein, whether such changes are based upon legal
requirements or otherwise.
27. COUNTERPARTS: This Commitment may be executed in any number
of counterparts, each of which when executed being deemed an
original and all of which when taken together constituting
one and the same agreement.
28. GOVERNING LAW: This Commitment shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of England.
29. LOANS HELD OUT OF DISPOSITIONS: Greenwich and the Company
agree that the "Remittance Rate" with respect to Loans that
the Company and Greenwich determine should not be included
in a Disposition (whether as a result of delinquency or
other factors) will be 305 basis points plus one month LIBOR
(unless otherwise agreed by the parties); it being
understood and agreed that any such arrangement shall not
relieve the Company from any obligation it has to repurchase
Loans that do not conform to the Program for such category
of Loans or as to which there is an uncured breach of a
representation and warranty.
30. CONFLICT: In the event of any conflict (i) between this
Commitment and/or (ii) the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement
and/or (iii) the Servicing Agreement as annexed to the
Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, the terms of this
Commitment shall prevail.
If this Commitment correctly sets forth your understanding of our agreement,
please sign and return a counterpart to the attention of Gregory Bowes,

England whereupon this Commitment will be binding between the parties hereto.

of the Purchaser and Seller shall be entitled to receive out of collections of
such Gross Interest the proportion of that Gross Interest to which it is
entitled to be paid in accordance with and subject to the order of priority set
out in the Servicing Agreement. []

(i) [ ] relating to Amortising Loans;

examination prior to the related Closing Date and properly identifies any
Mortgage Loans which do not conform to such requirements, such Mortgage Loans

established environmental review procedures, and found to be
satisfactory;

agreement in a form as was satisfactory to such Solicitor, and (ii) in
the case of Scottish Mortgage Loans, prior to the making of the

the possession of the Seller or held to its order;
7.3.31 There exists no litigation, dispute or complaint (subsisting or
pending or threatened) calling into question in any way the Seller's
title to any Mortgage Loan or, to the best of the Seller's knowledge,
the relevant Mortgagor's title to his Mortgaged Property;
7.3.32 The Mortgage Loan Documents are held by the Seller or to its
order or have been lodged at H.M. Land Registry or the Registers of
Scotland and in the case of each Mortgaged Property the title to which

made the Seller knows the title number under which the Mortgaged
Property is (or, in the case of first registration, is to be)
registered at H.M. Land Registry or the Registers of Scotland;
7.3.33 The obligations of each Mortgagor in relation to his Mortgage
Loan are not guaranteed by any person;
7.3.34 In relation to each Mortgage Deed for Mortgaged Property where
registration is pending at H.M. Land Registry, there is no caution,
notice or other entry which would prevent the registration of the
Mortgage Deed as a charge by way of first or, as the case may be,
second legal mortgage.
7.3.35 The Seller is not and will not become a qualifying lender for
the purposes of the United Kingdom system of mortgage interest relief
at source (Sections 369 to 379 Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1988).
8. REMEDIES FOR BREACH OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
8.1 It is understood and agreed that the representations and warranties set
forth in clauses 7.1 and 7.3 shall survive each sale of Mortgage Loans to the
Purchaser and shall enure to the benefit of the Purchaser (unless the Seller has
entered into a Reconstitution Agreement pursuant to which the Seller has
restated such representations and warranties as of the date of such Agreement,
in which case such
<PAGE> 51
-50-
Agreement shall govern) notwithstanding the examination by the Purchaser or
failure by the Purchaser to examine any Mortgage File. With respect to the
representations and warranties contained in clauses 7.1 and 7.3 which are made
to the best of the Seller's knowledge, after reasonable inquiry and
investigation, if it is discovered by either the Seller or the Purchaser that
the substance of such representation and warranty is inaccurate and such
inaccuracy materially and adversely affects the value of the related Mortgage
Loan then, notwithstanding the Seller's lack of knowledge with respect to the
inaccuracy at the time the representation or warranty was made the Seller shall
repurchase the related Mortgage Loan in accordance with this clause 8 as if the
applicable representation or warranty was breached. Upon discovery by either the
Seller or the Purchaser of a breach of any of the foregoing representations and
warranties which materially and adversely affects the value of the Mortgage
Loans or the interest of the Purchaser (or which materially and adversely
affects the interests of the Purchaser in the related Mortgage Loan in the case
of a representation and warranty relating to a particular Mortgage Loan), the
party discovering such breach shall give prompt written notice to the other.
Provided always that, if following a review undertaken by the Purchaser under
the terms of the Commitment Letter within a period of 30 days after the relevant
Closing Date, a breach of the warranties in clause 7.3.11 shall be discovered,
the same shall constitute a breach of such representation and warranty
irrespective of whether the same materially and adversely affects the value of
the relevant Mortgage Loan(s) provided that notice regarding such breach shall
have been delivered by the Purchaser to the Seller promptly following such
review.
8.2 It is hereby agreed between the parties that the remedies under this clause
8 shall be the sole remedies on the part of the Purchaser for breach of
representation and warranty on the part of the Seller herein.
8.3 Within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the Seller
of any breach of a representation or warranty which materially and adversely
affects the value of any Mortgage Loan, the Seller shall use all reasonable
endeavours promptly to cure such breach and, if such breach cannot be cured or
is not cured at the end of such 90 day period, the Seller shall, at the
Purchaser's option, repurchase such Mortgage Loan at the Repurchase Price and
the Mortgage Loan so repurchased (a "Deleted Mortgage Loan") shall no longer be
subject to this Agreement. In the event that a breach shall involve any
representation or warranty set forth in clause 7.1 and such breach cannot be
cured within 90 days of the earlier of either discovery by or notice to the
Seller of such breach, all of the Mortgage Loans shall, at the Purchaser's
option, be repurchased by the Seller at the Repurchase Price. Any such
repurchase shall be accomplished by deposit of the Repurchase Price in the

the reassignment of the Deleted Mortgage Loan and all interests, rights and
entitlements referred to in clause 6.1.1 in respect thereof to the Seller and
the delivery to the Seller of any documents held by it or on its behalf (or, as
the case may be, the release of any undertakings given in that regard) relating
to the Deleted Mortgage Loan. In the event of a repurchase, the Seller shall,
simultaneously with such reassignment, give written notice to the Purchaser that
such repurchase has taken place and amend the Mortgage

Loan Schedule to reflect the withdrawal of the Deleted Mortgage Loan from this
Agreement.
8.5 Any cause or right of action against the Seller relating to or arising out
of the breach of any representations and warranties made in clauses 7.1 or 7.3
shall accrue as to any Mortgage Loan upon (i) discovery of such breach by the
Purchaser or notice thereof by the Seller to the Purchaser, (ii) failure by the
Seller to cure such breach or repurchase such Mortgage Loan as specified above,
and (iii) demand upon the Seller by the Purchaser for compliance with the
relevant provisions of this Agreement.

be a party, or any person succeeding to substantially all of the business of the
Seller shall be the successor of the Seller hereunder, without the execution or
filing of any paper or any further act on the part of any of the parties hereto,

successor or surviving person shall be an institution having net worth

been given to the Seller by any Purchaser; or
13.1.3 an order is made or an effective resolution passed for winding
up the Seller; or
13.1.4 the Seller ceases or threatens to cease to carry on business or
a substantial part of such business (save any suspension of such
business as a result of any applicable licence being withdrawn,
provided that such licence is reinstated within a period of sixty days)
or stops payment or threatens to stop payment of its debts or the
Servicer is deemed unable to pay its debts within the meaning of

section may be amended, (or as the case may be any analogous provision
under any applicable jurisdiction) or becomes unable to pay its debts

<PAGE> 55
-54-

liabilities) or otherwise becomes insolvent; or
13.1.5 proceedings are initiated against the Seller under any
applicable liquidation, insolvency, composition, reorganisation (other
than a reorganisation the terms of which have been approved by the
Purchaser and where the Seller is solvent) or other similar laws save

or a petition for an administration order is presented against the

similar official in any applicable jurisdiction is appointed in
relation to the Seller or in relation to the whole or any substantial
part of the undertaking or assets of the Seller or an encumbrancer

13.2 WAIVER OF DEFAULTS
The Purchaser may waive any default by the Seller in the performance of its
obligations hereunder and its consequences. Upon any such waiver of a past
default, such default shall cease to exist, and any Event of Default arising
therefrom shall be deemed to have been remedied for every purpose of this
Agreement. No such waiver shall extend to any subsequent or other default or
impair any right consequent thereon except to the extent expressly so waived.
14. CONSEQUENCES OF DEFAULT
14.1 In each and every such case referred to in clauses 13.1.1-5 (inclusive), so
long as an Event of Default shall not have been remedied, the Purchaser, by

Purchaser may have at law or equity to damages, including injunctive relief and
specific performance, terminate some or all of the rights of the Seller under
this Agreement and the Servicing Agreement, and of the Servicer under the

specify and/or enforce any security constituted by the Charge and Assignment by
way of Security and/or accelerate payment of all or any of the obligations and
liabilities of the Seller or the Servicer secured thereby) and, upon such
notice, all authority and power of the Seller under this Agreement and the

<PAGE> 56

documents and other instruments and all Mortgage Files and do or cause to be
done all other acts or things necessary or appropriate to effect the purposes of

equity to damages, including injunctive relief and specific performance, (i)
cancel any Purchase Request then outstanding; and/or (ii) terminate any right of
the Purchaser to purchase additional Mortgage Loans pursuant to this Agreement
and repurchase any Mortgage Loans sold hereunder and then held by the Purchaser
at the price originally paid by the Purchaser on the relevant Closing Date and
in such circumstances the Purchaser shall relinquish its right to possession or
control of all Mortgage Loan Documents including any transfer or assignation of
Mortgage Loans in its favour and the Seller shall no longer be obliged to hold
any interests, rights and entitlements in relation to the relevant Mortgage
Loans so repurchased on behalf of or in trust for the Purchaser and the

prohibited or which is held to be void or unenforceable shall be ineffective to
the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof. Any part, provision, representation or warranty of
this Agreement which is prohibited or unenforceable or is held to be void or
unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall be ineffective, as to such jurisdiction,
to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the
remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any
jurisdiction as to any Mortgage Loan shall not invalidate or render
unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction. To the extent permitted
by applicable law, the parties hereto waive any provision of law which prohibits
or renders void or unenforceable any provision hereof. If the invalidity of any
part, provision, representation or warranty of this Agreement shall deprive any
party of the economic benefit intended to be conferred by this Agreement, the
parties shall negotiate, in good-faith, to develop a structure the economic
effect of which is nearly as possible the same as the economic effect of this
Agreement without regard to such invalidity.
18. COUNTERPARTS

Each counterpart shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts
shall constitute one and the same instrument.
19. GOVERNING LAW

than any terms hereof particular to the laws of Scotland which shall be
construed in accordance therewith) and the parties hereto hereby submit to the
jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
<PAGE> 58
-57-
20. INTENTION OF THE PARTIES
It is the intention of the parties that the Purchaser is purchasing, and the
Seller is selling the Mortgage Loans and not a debt instrument of the Seller or
another security. Accordingly, the parties hereto each intend to treat the
transaction for United Kingdom income tax purposes as a sale by the Seller, and
a purchase by the Purchaser, of the Mortgage Loans. The Purchaser shall have the
right to review the Mortgage Loans and the related Mortgage Loan Files to
determine the characteristics of the Mortgage Loans which shall affect the
United Kingdom income tax consequences of owning the Mortgage Loans and the
Seller shall co-operate with all reasonable requests made by the Purchaser in
the course of such review.
21. SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS
This Agreement shall bind and enure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the
Seller and the Purchaser and the respective successors and assigns of the Seller
and the Purchaser. This Agreement shall not be assigned or charged by the Seller
or the Purchaser to a third party without the prior written consent of the other
party.
22. WAIVERS
No term or provision of this Agreement may be waived or modified unless such
waiver or modification is in writing and signed by the party against whom such
waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
23. NO AGENCY OR PARTNERSHIP
It is hereby acknowledged and agreed by the parties that nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed as giving rise to any relationship of agency or
partnership between the parties and that in fulfilling its obligations
hereunder, each party shall be acting entirely for its own account.
24. PAYMENTS
24.1 All payments to be made pursuant to this Agreement shall be made in
sterling in immediately available funds and shall be deemed to be made when they
are received by the payee and shall be accounted for accordingly.
24.2 If any payments made or to be made by the Purchaser are or prove to be not
deductible for tax purposes from the profits of the Purchaser the parties shall
take such steps as they may agree to alter this Agreement to render it more tax
effective.
25. REPRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS
This Agreement and all documents relating thereto, including, without
limitation, (a) consents, waivers and modifications which may hereafter be
executed, (b) documents received by any party at the date hereof or any Closing
Date, and (c) financial statements, certificates and other information
previously or hereafter furnished, may be reproduced by any photographic,
photostatic, microfilm, micro-card, miniature
<PAGE> 59
-58-
photographic or other similar process. The parties agree that any such
reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any
judicial or administrative proceeding, whether or not the original is in
existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the
regular course of business, and that any enlargement, facsimile or further
reproduction of such reproduction shall likewise be admissible in evidence.
26. FURTHER AGREEMENTS
The Seller and the Purchaser each agree to execute and deliver to the other such
reasonable and appropriate additional documents, instruments or agreements as
may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement.
27. TERMINATION OF COMMITMENT
27.1 In the event that the Purchaser determines in its sole business judgment to
withdraw from the subprime residential mortgage loan market in the United
Kingdom, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its obligations under
the Commitment Letter (including the obligation to purchase Mortgage Loans
pursuant thereto and pursuant to this Agreement) upon 60 days written notice to
the Seller. The Purchaser and the Seller shall reasonably cooperate to engage a
successor to the Purchaser's obligations under the Commitment Letter. Any such
successor to the Purchaser's obligations under the Commitment Letter must be
reasonably acceptable to the Seller (such acceptance not to be unreasonably
withheld by the Seller). The Purchaser will continue to be bound by the terms of
the Commitment Letter and this Agreement until such time as such a successor has
been engaged.
27.2 In the event that due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
law or regulation after the date hereof, or due to the promulgation or
application of, or any change in, the interpretation of any applicable law or
regulation generally or in its application to the Purchaser or its affiliates
specifically, it becomes unlawful or materially regulatorily or economically
burdensome for the Purchaser or its affiliates to continue with the transactions
contemplated by the Commitment Letter (any such occurrence, an "Event"), the
Purchaser will use all reasonable efforts to transfer its rights and/or
obligations under the Commitment Letter and this Agreement to another of its
branches or affiliates so that the Event ceases to exist. The Purchaser shall
give the Seller written notice promptly following the occurrence of an Event.
In the event the Purchaser is not so able to remedy the Event by transferring
such obligations to another of its branches or affiliates, the Seller and the
Purchaser shall reasonably cooperate to modify the Purchaser's obligations under
the Commitment Letter and this Agreement so that the Event ceases to exist.
In the event that such a modification of the Purchaser's obligations under the
Commitment Letter and this Agreement to remedy the Event cannot be agreed
between the parties, the Purchaser shall have the right to terminate its
obligations under the Commitment Letter (including the obligation to purchaser
Mortgage Loans pursuant thereto and pursuant to this Agreement) upon 30 days
written notice to the Seller. The
<PAGE> 60
-59-
Purchaser will use its reasonable best efforts in cooperation with the Seller to
engage a successor to the Purchaser's obligations under the Commitment Letter
(and, if applicable, under this Agreement). The Purchaser will continue to be
bound by the terms of the Commitment Letter and this Agreement until such time
as such a successor has been engaged, unless either (a) a successor cannot be
obtained upon terms acceptable to the Purchaser and the Seller as a result of
such Event or (b) in the case of an Event where the performance of its
obligations under the Commitment Letter or this Agreement by the Purchaser would
be unlawful.

</TABLE>
In respect of the calculation of rebate of interest, the figure is calculated by
reference to a formula laid down by the Consumer Credit Act 1974 and known as
"The Rule of '78".
n (n + 1)
_________________ x TCC = R
m (m + 1)
Where:-
n is the total remaining number of months over which the credit must be
repaid, having regard to any entitlement nominally to increase the
number of months deemed to have fallen due; and
m is the total number of months over which the credit was to have been
repaid; and
TCC is the total charge for credit; and
R is the resultant rebate of interest.
The formula is designed to provide an accurate apportionment from time to time
of the division of payments between capital and interest and therefore to
produce a fair result as between the lender and the borrower in the event that
an early settlement takes place. Any "straight line" method does not provide for
this as it does not allow for the
<PAGE> 97
-96-
fact that mainly interest is repaid in the early years of the mortgage and vice
versa; the "Rule of 78" does make accurate provision for this.
In relation to the above figures the calculation is as follows:-
58 x 59
_______________ x 3808.04
84 x 85
This produces a figure of pound-sterling 1,825.0858 (rounded up slightly to
pound-sterling 1,825.09p).
If, for example, 25 instalments will have fallen due on the settlement date,
leaving 59 instalments remaining to be paid, the calculation is based upon 58
instalments remaining due. This is correct as the regulations allow deferral of
calculation by one month to produce the calculation given above.

those of the Relevant Documents to which it is party.

that it has made a Non-recoverable Advance or that a proposed Monthly Advance or
a lesser proportion of such Monthly Advance would constitute a Non-recoverable
Advance, the Servicer shall deposit in the Collection Account funds constituting
the remaining proportion of such Monthly Advance, if applicable, and deliver to
each of the Purchaser and the Seller a certificate, signed by a duly authorised
officer of the Servicer, setting forth the basis for such determination.
8.4.3 In lieu of making all or a proportion of such Monthly Advance from its own
funds, the Servicer may cause to be made an appropriate entry in its records

by the Servicer in discharge of its obligation to make any such Monthly Advance.

accordance with clause 5.7 but subject always to the provisions of this clause;
and completion of the Enforcement Procedures shall have occurred in respect of a
particular Mortgage Loan (for the purposes of this clause 10, the "Relevant
Mortgage") when the Servicer certifies in writing to the Purchaser that in its
opinion, having regard to the circumstances of the relevant Mortgagor and the
then applicable Enforcement Procedures, the prospects of any further recovery of
amounts due from that Mortgagor are remote or are not sufficiently good to merit
further action or proceedings having regard to the amounts which might be
recovered and the costs of recovery.
10.2.1 The Servicer shall in relation to any default by a Mortgagor under or in
connection with a Mortgage Loan, comply with the then current Enforcement
Procedures or, to the extent that the Enforcement Procedures are not applicable
having regard to the nature of the default in question, take such action as
would a reasonably prudent lender in respect of such default provided that:-
(i) the Servicer shall only become obliged to comply with the
Enforcement Procedures (to the extent applicable) or to take action as
aforesaid after it has become aware of the default;
(ii) it is acknowledged by the Purchaser that mortgage lenders
generally exercise discretion in pursuing their respective enforcement
procedures and that the Servicer may exercise such discretion as would
be exercised by a reasonably prudent lender in applying the Enforcement
Procedures to any particular

to the Purchaser in writing in a form approved by the Purchaser, such approval
not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, in respect of all Mortgage Loans in

the Enforcement Procedures are not applicable.

14.2 The Servicer shall not knowingly take any action or omit to take any action

or would reduce the amount payable on any claim. The Servicer shall use all
reasonable endeavours to keep in full force and effect each Buildings Policy of
which it is aware (or other policy providing equivalent cover) in relation to
any Mortgage Loan and associated Mortgaged Property to which it applies other
than assuming any liability for the premium thereon.

not be obliged to, unless the Purchaser so directs) instruct a valuer to check
that satisfactory reinstatement has taken place and to review the value of the
Mortgaged Property in respect of which the claim was made as security for the
relevant Mortgage Loan. The Servicer will arrange for the proceeds of any such
claim in excess of the Maximum Amount either (i) to be applied in making good
the damage in respect of which it was paid but only in such instance if the
Servicer shall have received evidence satisfactory to it that the works in
relation to which such payment is paid have been completed, or (ii) to be paid
to the
<PAGE> 118
-117-
relevant Mortgagor but only in such instance if the Servicer has satisfied
itself that at the time of such payment all amounts then due and owing from the
Mortgagor under his Mortgage Loan have been paid.
14.5 The Servicer shall manage the arrangements for collection and payment by
Mortgagors of premiums in relation to the Buildings Policies or other policies
providing equivalent cover (whether collected as part of a Monthly Payment or
otherwise) (unless otherwise agreed with a Mortgagor) in accordance with the

company.
14.6.1 Upon receipt of notice that any Mortgaged Property is not insured against
fire and other perils (including subsidence) under a householder's comprehensive
insurance policy or similar policy in accordance with the terms of each Mortgage
Loan, the Servicer will arrange such insurance in accordance with the terms of
each Mortgage Loan.
14.6.2 Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Servicer shall in any event, on
behalf of the Purchaser, use all reasonable endeavours to ensure that each
Mortgaged Property is kept insured in accordance with the Mortgage Purchase
Agreement.
15. MORTGAGE LOAN DOCUMENTS

Mortgage Loan Documents. As soon as practicable following each Closing Date, the
Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser information as to the location of, and
the persons holding, the Mortgage Loan Documents. The Servicer shall not later
than ten business days following each quarter provide to the Purchaser a report
in the agreed form identifying (i) all Mortgage Loans in respect of which the
information as to the location of, and persons holding, the Mortgage Loan
Documents or any of them has changed since the Initial Closing Date or, as the
case may be, the date of the previous such report, (ii) the new location of, and
the identity of the new person holding, Mortgage Loan Documents and (iii) the
reason for the change.
15.2 If by the second anniversary of completion any of the Mortgage Loan
Documents in respect of any Mortgage Loan has not at any time on or before such
date been delivered to or to the order of the Purchaser, the Servicer shall
indemnify the Purchaser against any and all losses suffered by it as a result of
any of such Mortgage Loan Document not having been so delivered by such date.
15.3 The Servicer shall keep or shall procure that there are kept the Mortgage
Loan Documents and Buildings Policies in safe custody.
15.4 The Servicer shall deliver or procure delivery of the Mortgage Loan
Documents to or to the order of the Purchaser upon written request and shall
provide access to the same to the Purchaser and/or its agents at all reasonable
times. The Servicer acknowledges that the Mortgage Loan Documents in its

Purchaser.

purchased by the Purchaser and serviced hereunder be delivered to a third party
storage facility designated by the Purchaser in consultation with the Servicer
and the Seller for safekeeping.
16. DATA PROTECTION
The Servicer will ensure that it has (and will, if appropriate, endeavour to

17. SOFTWARE
17.1 The Servicer will use all reasonable endeavours (including being
responsible for the costs thereof or of obtaining any such licence or
sub-licence as is referred to in this clause) to negotiate with the relevant
parties so that any intellectual property rights not owned by it but used by it
in connection with the performance of its obligations under this Agreement and
in particular all software programs used in connection with the Mortgage Loans
and their administration are, or are permitted to be charged, assigned by way of
security, licensed or sub-licensed on a non-exclusive basis to the Purchaser (as
the case may be) so as to permit the Purchaser to use such intellectual property
rights only in connection with the administration of the Mortgage Loans for so
long as any of the Mortgage Loans are outstanding.
18. TERMINATION
18.1 If an Event of Default under the Mortgage Purchase Agreement shall occur or
an event shall occur with respect to the Servicer that, if such event occurred
with respect to the Seller, it would be an Event of Default under the Mortgage
Purchase Agreement (mutatis mutandis), the Purchaser may terminate the
Servicer's rights and entitlements under this Agreement and cease to be under
any further obligations hereunder and take such other action in relation to this
Agreement and/or the Servicer as set out in clauses 14 and 15 of the Mortgage
Purchase Agreement as if the same was set out herein, mutatis mutandis and on

therefor, any moneys then held by the Servicer on behalf of the Purchaser and
any other assets and rights of the Purchaser (including, without
<PAGE> 120
-119-
limitation, all licences and sub-licences referred to in clause 17 granted to
the Purchaser) and shall take such further action as the Purchaser may
reasonably direct.
18.3 The Servicer shall deliver to the Purchaser forthwith after becoming aware
thereof a notice of any Event of Default or any event which with the giving of
notice or lapse of time or other condition would constitute a Event of Default
and which could give rise to termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause
18.1.

of the Purchaser due to the Servicer or of the Servicer due to either or both
