NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(All Amounts in Thousands Except Per Share Data)
September 30, 1998
Note 1 - Basis of Presentation:
The financial information included herein should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes
of Resource Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc. (the Company), included in
the Company's December 31, 1997, Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain
financial information, which is normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles, is not required for interim financial statements and has
been omitted. The accompanying interim consolidated financial statements
are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management of the Company, all
adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for a fair
presentation of operating results for the periods shown have been made.
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to
current period presentation.
In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings
per Share" (SFAS No. 128), which is effective for financial statements
issued for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The Company adopted
SFAS No. 128 in December 1997 and has retroactively restated to report
its earnings per share on a comparable basis for all periods presented.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 130, "Reporting
Comprehensive Income", which requires that changes in the amounts of
comprehensive income items, currently reported as separate components of
equity, be shown in a financial statement, displayed as prominently as
other financial statements. The most common components of other
comprehensive income include foreign currency translation adjustments,
minimum pension liability adjustments and/or unrealized gains and losses
on available-for-sale securities. SFAS No. 130 does not require a
specific format for the new statement, but does require that an amount
representing total comprehensive income be reported. SFAS No. 130 is
required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15,
1997. The Company has adopted SFAS No. 130 in 1998.
In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information", which establishes
new standards for business segment reporting. Requirements of SFAS No.
131 include reporting of (a) financial and descriptive information about
reportable operating segments, (b) a measure of segment profit or loss,
certain specific revenue and expense items and segment assets with
reconciliations of such amounts to the Company's financial statements
and (c) information regarding revenues derived from the Company's
products and services, information about major customers and information
related to geographic areas. SFAS No. 131 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company plans to adopt SFAS No.
131 for the full-year 1998.
In February 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
SFAS No. 132, "Employers' Disclosures about Pension and Other
Postretirement Benefits" which revises employers' disclosures about
pension and other postretirement benefit plans. It does not change the
measurement or recognition of those plans. The statement is effective
for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1997. The Company plans to
adopt SFAS No. 132 for the full-year 1998.

<PAGE> 8
In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (SFAS No. 133). SFAS
No. 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the
balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of
derivatives are recorded each period in current earnings or other
comprehensive income, depending on whether a derivative is designed as
part of a hedge transaction and , if it is, the type of hedge
transaction. For fair-value hedge transactions in which the Company is
hedging changes in an asset's, liability's or firm commitment's fair
value, changes in the fair value of the derivative instrument will
generally be offset in the income statement by changes in the hedged
item's fair value. For cash-flow hedge transactions, in which the
Company is hedging the variability of cash flows related to a
variable-rate asset, liability or a forecasted transaction, changes in
the fair value of the derivative instrument will be reported in other
comprehensive income. The gains and losses on the derivative instrument
that are reported in other comprehensive income will be reclassified as
earnings in the periods in which earnings are impacted by the
variability of the cash flows of the hedged item. The ineffective
portion of all hedges will be recognized in current period earnings.
SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal quarters of all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999 (January 1, 2000 for the Company).
However, early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined
either the impact that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have on its
earnings or statement of financial position or the period in which the
statement will be implemented.
In October 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 134, Accounting for Mortgage-Backed Securities Retained
After the Securitization of Mortgage Loans Held for Sale by a Mortgage
Banking Enterprise (SFAS No. 134). SFAS No. 134 requires that after the
securitization of a mortgage loan held for sale, an entity engaged in
mortgage banking activities classify the resulting mortgage-backed
securities or other retained interests based on its ability and intent
to sell or hold those investments. This statement shall be effective for
the first fiscal quarter beginning after December 15, 1998.
Effective April 1, 1997, the Company completed a merger with
Meritage Mortgage Corporation (Meritage), in which it exchanged
approximately $1,750 thousand of cash and 537,846 (564,738 after
retroactive adjustment for the 5% stock dividend declared on October 31,
1997) noncontingent shares of RBMG common stock for all the outstanding
stock of Meritage. This transaction was accounted for under the purchase
method of accounting. In addition, 406,053 (426,355 after retroactive
adjustment for the 5% stock dividend declared on October 31, 1997)
shares of RBMG common stock were issued contingent upon Meritage
achieving specified increasingly higher levels of subprime mortgage
production during certain periods following closing. During 1997,
270,702 (284,237 shares after retroactive adjustment for the 5% stock
dividend declared on October 31, 1997) contingent shares of RBMG common
stock were released. During the first nine months of 1998, 135,351
(142,118 after retroactive adjustment for the 5% stock dividend declared
on October 31, 1997) contingent shares of RBMG common stock were
released. Therefore, all the contingent shares have now been released.
The fair market value of contingent shares had been excluded from the
purchase price for purposes of recording goodwill and from outstanding
shares for purposes of earnings per share computations. As each
specified increasingly higher subprime mortgage production level was
achieved, the corresponding fair market value of the associated
contingent shares released was recorded as additional goodwill and such
shares were prospectively treated as outstanding for purposes of
earnings per share computations. The purchase price for the Meritage
merger has been allocated to tangible and identifiable assets and
liabilities based upon management's estimate of their respective fair
values with the excess of estimated cost over the fair value of the net
assets acquired allocated to goodwill. Goodwill and other intangible
assets are being amortized over a 20 year period using the straight line
method. Amortization expense for the third quarter and nine month
periods ended September 30, 1998, was approximately $149 and $415,
respectively. The following is a schedule of the allocation of the
purchase price:

Effective May 1, 1998, the Company sold the retail production
franchise of Intercounty Mortgage, Inc. to CFS Bank. Historically, the
Company has focused on accumulation of loan production through
third-party correspondent and wholesale broker channels because of the
relatively lower fixed expenses and capital investments required, among
other reasons. Management believes the sale of the retail operation will
allow the Company to refocus on its core competency as a correspondent
and wholesale mortgage lender. The following is a schedule of the gain
recognized on the sale of the retail production franchise:
Cash proceeds $ 5,503

Options to purchase 6,300 shares of common stock at $16.27 per
share were outstanding during the first nine months of 1997 but were
not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because
the options' exercise prices were greater than the average market price
of the common shares. The options, which will expire on August 26, 2007
were still outstanding at September 30, 1997.

THE COMPANY
The Company is a diversified financial services company engaged
primarily in the business of mortgage banking, through the purchase (through a
nationwide network of correspondents and brokers), sale and servicing of
agency-eligible and subprime residential, single-family first-mortgage loans and
the purchase and sale of servicing rights associated with such loans. In
addition, the Company originates, sells and services small ticket commercial
equipment leases and originates, sells, underwrites for investors and services
commercial mortgage loans.
PRODUCTION
The Company purchases residential mortgage loans from its correspondents
and through its wholesale division and, until the sale of its retail production
platform in May 1998, originated mortgage loans through its retail division. The
Company also purchases and originates subprime mortgage loans through a separate
division. In addition, the Company originates commercial mortgage loans and
leases small ticket equipment items.

</TABLE>
Initially, the Company was exclusively focused on purchasing
agency-eligible mortgage loans through its correspondents. In order to diversify
its sources of loan volume, the Company started a wholesale operation in 1994, a
retail operation in 1995 and a subprime division in 1997. Management anticipates
that its higher margin wholesale and subprime production will continue to
account for an increasing percentage of total mortgage loan production as those
divisions are expanded more rapidly than correspondent operations. In general,
management has targeted as a near-term goal a residential mortgage production
mix of approximately 70% correspondent, 25% wholesale and 5% subprime. In order
to further diversify its sources of production and revenue, the Company acquired
Resource Bancshares Corporation (RBC) in December 1997. Through RBC, the Company
originates small ticket commercial equipment leases and commercial mortgage
loans. These two new sources of production accounted for 7.7% and 5.9% of the
Company's total third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 1998
production, respectively.
A summary of key information relevant to industry residential mortgage
loan production activity is set forth below:

The Company's total agency-eligible residential mortgage production
increased by 26% to $3.6 billion for the third quarter of 1998 from $2.8 billion
for the third quarter of 1997. The increase is a direct result of the nationwide
57% increase in 1-4 family mortgage originations for the third quarter of
13
<PAGE> 14
1998 as compared to the third quarter of 1997. The decrease in the Company's
estimated market share of U.S. mortgage originations from 1.19% for the third
quarter of 1997 to 0.96% for the third quarter of 1998 is primarily due to the
Company's focus on improved agency-eligible profitability and expansion of its
higher margin subprime, wholesale, commercial mortgage and leasing production.
Correspondent Loan Production
The Company purchases closed mortgage loans through its network of
approved correspondent lenders. Correspondents are primarily mortgage lenders,
larger mortgage brokers and smaller savings and loan associations and commercial
banks, which have met the Company's approval requirements.
The Company continues to emphasize correspondent loan production as its
basic business focus because of the lower fixed expenses and capital investment
required of the Company. That is, the Company has developed a cost structure
that is more directly variable with loan production because the correspondent
incurs most of the fixed costs of operating and maintaining branch offices and
of identifying and interacting directly with loan applicants.
A summary of key information relevant to the Company's correspondent
residential loan production activities is set forth below:

The 34% increase in the Company's correspondent loan production from
$2.1 billion for the third quarter of 1997 to $2.9 billion for the third quarter
of 1998 resulted primarily from the 57% increase in nationwide 1-4 family
mortgage loan production. The number of approved correspondent lenders at the
end of the third quarter of 1998 decreased slightly from that of the third
quarter of 1997 as the Company focused on maintenance of those correspondent
relationships most compatible with the Company's overall business strategies and
profitability goals while continuing a disciplined and measured expansion
through establishment of new correspondent relationships.
Wholesale Loan Production
The wholesale division receives loan applications through brokers,
underwrites the loans, funds the loans at closing and prepares all closing
documentation. The wholesale branches also handle all shipping and follow-up
procedures on loans. Typically mortgage brokers are responsible for taking
applications and accumulating the information precedent to the Company's
processing of the loans. Although the establishment of wholesale branch offices
involves the incurrence of fixed expenses associated with maintaining those
offices, wholesale operations also provide for higher profit margins than
correspondent loan production. Additionally, each branch office can serve a
relatively sizable geographic area by establishing relationships with large
numbers of independent mortgage loan brokers who bear much of the cost of
identifying and interacting directly with loan applicants.

The 43% ($218 million) increase in wholesale loan production, from
$501.2 million for the third quarter of 1997 to $718.8 million during the third
quarter of 1998, resulted primarily from the 57% nationwide increase in loan
production and the Company's addition of two new wholesale branches between the
third quarter of 1997 and the third quarter of 1998. The increase in operating
expenses for the wholesale division was primarily a result of the increased
production. Wholesale division operating expenses as a percentage of production
decreased 11% from 61 basis points in the third quarter of 1997 to 54 basis
points in the third quarter of 1998 primarily as a result of increased operating
efficiencies.
Strategically, management anticipates focusing over the longer term on
continued expansion of its wholesale presence nationwide due to the relatively
higher margins attributable to this channel. Management anticipates that the
wholesale division will continue to account for an increasing percentage of the
Company's total loan production.
Retail Loan Production
During late 1997, the Company began reviewing the compatibility of the
retail operation with its primary business focus. On March 11, 1998, the Company
signed a definitive agreement with CFS Bank under which the Company sold the
retail production franchise of Intercounty Mortgage, Inc. to CFS Bank effective
May 1, 1998. Historically, the Company has focused on accumulation of loan
production through third-party correspondent and wholesale broker channels
because of the relatively lower fixed expenses and capital investments required,
among other reasons. Management believes the sale of the retail operation will
allow the Company to refocus on its core competency as a correspondent and
wholesale mortgage lender.

The primary cause of the variations observed above relate to the sale of
the retail production platform effective May 1, 1998.
Subprime Loan Production
In 1997, the Company began its initial expansion into subprime lending
activities. In connection therewith, the Company acquired Meritage Mortgage
Corporation (Meritage), a wholesale producer of subprime mortgage loans, in
April 1997. The Company's subprime division produced $417.9 million during the
first nine months of 1998, 82% more than for the comparable prior year period.
Management anticipates continuing near-term increases in subprime
production volumes as subprime branches recently opened or acquired in 1997 and
as subprime operations introduced and made available through the Company's
existing 15 branch agency-eligible wholesale network reach full year production
levels. In the future, the Company plans to offer select subprime loan products
through the existing nationwide correspondent production channel.

production activities is set forth below:

Commercial Mortgage Production
In connection with its acquisition of RBC on December 31, 1997, the
Company acquired RBC's subsidiary, Laureate Realty Services, Inc. (Laureate
Realty). Laureate Realty originates commercial mortgage loans for various
insurance companies and other investors. Commercial mortgage loans are generally
originated in the name of the investor and, in most instances, Laureate Realty
retains the right to service the loans under a servicing agreement.

AGENCY-ELIGIBLE MORTGAGE SERVICING
Agency-eligible mortgage servicing includes collecting and remitting
mortgage loan payments, accounting for principal and interest, holding escrow
funds for payment of mortgage-related expenses such as taxes and insurance,
making advances to cover delinquent payments, making inspections as required of
the mortgaged premises, contacting delinquent mortgagors, supervising
foreclosures and property dispositions in the event of unremedied defaults and
generally administering mortgage loans.
The Company is somewhat unique in that its strategy is to sell
substantially all of its produced agency-eligible mortgage servicing rights to
other approved servicers. In that regard, the Company
17
<PAGE> 18
believes it is the largest national supplier of agency-eligible servicing rights
to the still-consolidating mega-servicers. Typically, the Company sells its
agency-eligible mortgage servicing rights within 90 to 180 days of purchase or
origination. However, for strategic reasons, the Company also strives to
maintain a servicing portfolio whose size is determined by reference to the
Company's cash operating costs which, in turn, are largely determined by the
size of its loan production platform. By continuing to focus on the low-cost
correspondent and wholesale production channels, the Company is able to minimize
the cash operating costs of its loan production platform and thus the
strategically required size of its agency-eligible loan servicing operation.

activities is set forth below:

The Company's coverage ratio for the first nine months of 1998 at 35%

Opportunistically and as market conditions permit, management would expect to
bring this ratio back in line with the stated objective. Effective May 1,
18
<PAGE> 19
1998, the Company sold its retail production franchise, which accounted for $5.6
million of the Company's cash operating expenses for the first nine months of
1998. Without retail division operating expenses for the first nine months of
1998, the Company's coverage ratio would have been 37%.

The $2.7 billion, or 28%, increase in the average underlying unpaid
principal balance of agency-eligible mortgage loans being serviced for the third
quarter of 1998 as compared to the third quarter of 1997 is primarily related to
the Company's decision to retain a larger percentage of the servicing rights
associated with its production during the first nine months of 1998.
Additionally, the Company's increased loan production volumes during the latter
part of 1997 and the first nine months of 1998 compared to the same periods of
the prior years contributed to the increase. Since the Company generally sells
servicing rights related to the agency-eligible loans it produces within 90 to
180 days of purchase or origination, increased production volumes generally
result in a higher volume of mortgage servicing rights held in inventory pending
sale.

Summary
The production revenue to pool delivery ratio declined seven basis
points, or 7%, for the first nine months of 1998 as compared to the first nine
months of 1997. Generally, net gain on sale of mortgage loans (93 basis points
for 1998 versus 85 basis points for 1997) improved due to better overall
execution into the secondary markets. However, net interest income declined and
offset this improvement due to the relatively flatter yield curve environment.
The production expenses to production ratio decreased 11 basis points, or 15%,
for the first nine months of 1998 as compared to the first nine months of 1997.
Generally, this relates to better leverage of fixed operating expenses in the
higher volume production environment for the first nine months of 1998 versus
the comparable period of 1997. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company's
net agency-eligible pre-tax production margin improved 4 basis points, or 11%,
to 39 basis points while in absolute dollars it increased $18.4 million, or 80%.

</TABLE>
Net interest income from agency-eligible production decreased 68% to
$4.5 million for the first nine months of 1998 compared to $14.2 million for the
first nine months of 1997. The 124 basis point decrease in the interest-rate
spread was primarily the result of the narrower spreads between long and
short-term rates in the first nine months of 1998 compared to the first nine
months of 1997. The Company's mortgages and mortgage-backed securities are
generally sold and replaced within 30 to 35 days. Accordingly, the Company
generally borrows at rates based upon short-term indices, while its asset yields
are primarily based upon long-term mortgage rates.
Estimated Provision for Foreclosure Losses
As a servicer of agency-eligible mortgage loans and small-ticket
equipment leases the Company will incur certain losses in the event it becomes
necessary to carry out foreclosure actions on these loans or leases serviced.
Generally, such agency-eligible mortgage loan losses relate to FHA or VA loans,
which are insured or guaranteed on a limited basis. The allowance for estimated
loan losses on foreclosure, which is part of the mortgage servicing rights
basis, is determined based on delinquency trends and management's evaluation of
the probability that foreclosure actions will be necessary. For the nine months
ended September 30, 1998 and for the nine months ended September 30, 1997 the
Company recorded provision for foreclosure expense of approximately $6.5 million
and $2.6 million, respectively. The Company acquired a small-ticket equipment
leasing operation effective December 31, 1997. Accordingly, $0.8 million of the
increase in provision expense is attributable to the acquisition of this
operation. The balance of the overall increase is attributable to the overall
growth of the Company's production and servicing operations.

The Company sold agency-eligible loans during the first nine months of

sales of $7.4 billion for the first nine months of 1997. The amount of proceeds
received on sales of mortgage loans exceeded the initial unadjusted acquisition
cost of the loans sold by $1.3 million (1 basis point) for the first nine months
of 1998 as compared to $4.2 million (6 basis points) for the comparable period
of the prior year. The Company received loan origination and correspondent
program administrative fees of $28.7 million (26 basis points) on these loans
during the first nine months of 1998 and $23.9 million (32 basis points) during
the first nine months of 1997. The Company allocated $71.0 million (64 basis
points) to basis in mortgage
22
<PAGE> 23
servicing rights for loans sold in the first nine months of 1998 as compared to
$32.7 million (44 basis points) during the first nine months of 1997 in
accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125,
"Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments
of Liabilities". Consequently, net gain on sale of agency-eligible mortgage
loans increased to $101.5 million for the first nine months of 1998 versus $62.1
million for the first nine months of 1997. Overall, the increase is attributed
to better execution into the secondary markets.

Summary
During the first nine months of 1998, the Company produced $417.9
million of subprime loans. The Company sold approximately $213.7 million (51%)
of its first nine months 1998 production in whole loan transactions and
delivered $152.3 million into the secondary markets through securitization
transactions. Overall, the Company operated during the first nine months of 1998
at a 3.99% pre-tax subprime production margin. At September 30, 1998, the
Company had unsold subprime mortgage loans of $90.5 million. During the first
nine months of 1997, the Company's subprime division was in its initial startup
phase and $46.8 million of the subprime mortgage loan production for that period
was purchased in bulk from Meritage prior to the Company's acquisition of
Meritage.

Residual certificates arising from subprime securitizations are
classified as trading securities (as defined in SFAS No. 115), and changes in
the fair value of such certificates are recorded as adjustments to income in the
period of change. The Company has not yet assessed whether it will amend its
current policies upon the adoption of SFAS No. 134 (see Notes to the
Consolidated Financial Statements.) The Company assesses the fair value of the
residual certificates quarterly, based on an independent third party valuation.
This valuation is based on the discounted cash flows expected to be available to
the holder of the residual certificate. Significant assumptions used at
September 30, 1998 for all residual certificates held by the Company include a
discount rate of 13%, a constant default rate of 3% and a loss severity rate of
25%. Ramping periods are based on prepayment penalty periods and adjustable rate
mortgage first reset dates. Constant prepayment rate assumptions specific to the
individual certificates for purposes of the September 30, 1998 valuations are
set forth below:

Adjustable rate mortgages 32% cpr 30% cpr 28% cpr 32% cpr
</TABLE>
The assumptions above are estimated based on current conditions for
similar instruments that are subject to prepayment and credit risks. Other
factors evaluated in the determination of fair value include credit and
collateral quality of the underlying loans, current economic conditions and
various fees and costs (such as prepayment penalties) associated with ownership
of the residual certificate. Although the Company believes that the fair values
of its residual certificates are reasonable given current market conditions, the
assumptions used are estimates and actual experience may vary from these
estimates. Differences in the actual prepayment speed and loss experience from
the assumptions used, could have a significant effect on the fair value of the
residual certificates.
The Company also sold subprime mortgage loans on a whole loan basis
during the first nine months of 1998. Whole loans are generally sold without
recourse to third parties with the gain or loss being calculated based on the
difference between the carrying value of the loans sold and the gross proceeds
received from the purchaser. No interest in these loans is retained by the
Company.

</TABLE>
26
<PAGE> 27
Summary
The ratio of net pre-tax servicing margin to the average servicing
portfolio declined one basis point primarily due to relative increases in
amortization and general and administrative expenses. The increased amortization
expense is attributable to generally higher levels of mortgage servicing rights
held for sale and the generally higher amortization expenses required in the
current higher prepay speed environment.
Overall, the servicing division contributed $2.8 million to the first
nine months of 1998 pre-tax net income, a $4.8 million, or 64%, decrease from
the $7.6 million contribution for the first nine months of 1997.
Loan servicing fees were $27.3 million for the first nine months of
1998, compared to $23.0 million for the first nine months of 1997, an increase
of 18%. This increase is primarily related to an increase in the average
aggregate underlying unpaid principal balance of mortgage loans serviced to $9.0
billion during the first nine months of 1998 from $7.4 billion during the first
nine months of 1997, an increase of 22%. Similarly, amortization of mortgage
servicing rights also increased to $19.1 million during the first nine months of
1998 from $13.7 million during the first nine months of 1997, an increase of
40%. The increase in amortization is primarily attributable to the growth in the
average balance of the mortgage loans serviced and the current generally higher
prepay speed environment.
Given current market conditions, management continually assesses market
prepay trends and adjusts amortization accordingly. Management believes that the
value of mortgage servicing rights are reasonable in light of current market
conditions. However, there can be no guarantee that market conditions will not
change such that mortgage servicing right valuations will require additional
amortization or impairment charges.
Included in loan servicing fees for the first nine months of 1998 and
1997 are subservicing fees received by the Company of $581 thousand and $367
thousand, respectively. The subservicing fees are associated with temporary
subservicing agreements between the Company and purchasers of mortgage servicing
rights.

Laureate Realty originates commercial mortgage loans for various
insurance companies and other investors, primarily in Alabama, Florida, Indiana,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Substantially all loans
originated by Laureate Realty have been originated in the name of the investor,
and in most cases, Laureate Realty has retained the right to service the loans
under a servicing agreement with the investor. Most commercial mortgage loan
servicing agreements are short-term, and retention of the servicing contract is
dependent on maintaining the investor relationship.

</TABLE>
Summary
The production revenue to pool delivery ratio declined 12 basis points,
or 11%, for the third quarter of 1998 as compared to the third quarter of 1997.
Generally, net gain on sale of mortgage loans (92 basis points for 1998 versus
89 basis points for 1997) improved due to better overall execution into the
secondary markets. However, net interest income declined significantly and
offset this improvement due to the relatively flatter yield curve environment.
The production expenses to production ratio decreased 8 basis points, or 12%,
for the third quarter of 1998 as compared to the third quarter of 1997.
Generally, this relates to better leverage of fixed operating expenses in the
higher volume production environment for the third quarter of 1998 versus the
comparable period of 1997. As a consequence of the foregoing, the Company's net
agency-eligible pre-tax production margin declined 4 basis points, or 11%, to 33
basis points while in absolute dollars it increased $3.8 million, or 38%.

</TABLE>
Net interest income from agency-eligible product decreased 86% to $0.6
million for the third quarter of 1998 compared to $4.5 million for the third
quarter of 1997. The 117 basis point decrease in the interest-rate spread was
primarily the result of the narrower spreads between long and short-term rates
in the third quarter of 1998 compared to the third quarter of 1997. The
Company's mortgages and mortgage-backed securities are generally sold and
replaced within 30 to 35 days. Accordingly, the Company generally borrows at
rates based upon short-term indices, while its asset yields are primarily based
upon long-term mortgage rates.

The Company sold agency-eligible loans during the third quarter of 1998
with an aggregate unpaid principal balance of $3.9 billion compared to sales of
$2.8 billion for the third quarter of 1997. The amount of proceeds received on
sales of mortgage loans was less than the initial unadjusted acquisition cost of
the loans sold by $1.2 million (3 basis points) for the third quarter of 1998 as
compared to $22 thousand (0 basis points) for the comparable period of the prior
year. The Company received loan origination and correspondent program
administrative fees of $8.8 million (23 basis points) on these loans during the
third quarter of 1998 and $9.7 million (34 basis points) during the third
quarter of 1997. The Company allocated $27.1 million (70 basis points) to basis
in mortgage servicing rights for loans

during the third quarter of 1997 in accordance with Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 125, "Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of
Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities". Consequently, net gain on
sale of agency-eligible mortgage loans increased to $34.8 million for the third
quarter of 1998 versus $24.6 million for the third quarter of 1997. The increase
is primarily attributed to better execution into the secondary markets.

quarter 1998 subprime production in whole loan transactions and delivered $25.3
million into the secondary markets through securitization transactions. Overall,
the Company operated during the third quarter of 1998 at a 4.53% pre-tax
subprime production margin. This compares to a 2.63% pre-tax subprime production
margin for the third quarter of 1997.

</TABLE>
Summary
The ratio of net pre-tax servicing margin to the average servicing
portfolio increased five basis points as incremental revenues from the larger
servicing portfolio more than offset related increases in amortization and
general and administrative expenses. The increased amortization expense is
attributable to generally higher levels of mortgage servicing rights held for
sale which are carried at a higher basis than older available-for-sale mortgage
servicing rights and thus require a relatively higher periodic amortization
charge.
Overall, the servicing division contributed $0.9 million to third
quarter 1998 pre-tax net income, a $1.8 million, or 65%, decrease from the $2.7
million contribution for the third quarter of 1997. Loan servicing fees were
$10.0 million for the third quarter of 1998, compared to $7.7 million for the
third quarter of 1997, an increase of 30%. This increase is primarily related to
an increase in the average aggregate underlying unpaid principal balance of
mortgage loans serviced to $10.0 billion during the third quarter of 1998 from
$7.6 billion during the third quarter of 1997, an increase of 32%. Similarly,
amortization of mortgage servicing rights also increased to $7.4 million during
the third quarter of 1998 from $4.8 million during the third quarter of 1997, an
increase of 54%. The increase in amortization is primarily attributable to the
growth in the average balance of the mortgage loans serviced and the higher
basis in the servicing rights.
Included in loan servicing fees for the third quarters of 1998 and 1997
are subservicing fees received by the Company of $158 thousand and $140
thousand, respectively. The subservicing fees are associated with temporary
subservicing agreements between the Company and purchasers of mortgage servicing
rights.

Laureate Realty originates commercial mortgage loans for various
insurance companies and other investors, primarily in Alabama, Florida, Indiana,
North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia. Substantially all loans
originated by Laureate Realty have been originated in the name of the investor,
and in most cases, Laureate Realty has retained the right to service the loans
under a servicing agreement with the investor. Most commercial mortgage loan
servicing agreements are short-term, and retention of the servicing contract is
dependent on maintaining the investor relationship.

During the third quarter of 1998, the commercial mortgage division
originated and sold $291 million in commercial loans. Commercial mortgage fees
on these loans were $1.8 million, or 63 basis points. Origination fees on
commercial mortgages are generally between 50 and 100 basis points on the loan
amount. In addition the commercial mortgage division allocated $144 thousand, or
5 basis points, to basis in servicing rights retained on commercial mortgage
loans produced during the period.

Substantially all of the Company's lease receivables are acquired from
independent brokers who operate throughout the continental United States and
referrals from independent banks. At September 30, 1998 the Company's managed
lease servicing portfolio was $131.5 million. Of this managed lease portfolio,
$85.7 million was owned and $45.8 million was serviced for investors.
Net Interest Income
Net interest income for the third quarter of 1998 was $1.2 million.
This is an annualized net interest margin of 3.40% based upon average lease
receivables owned of $78.2 million and average debt outstanding of $58.4
million.
40
<PAGE> 41
FINANCIAL CONDITION
During the third quarter of 1998, the Company experienced a 5% increase in
total production originated and acquired compared to the second quarter of 1998,
from $3.9 billion during the second quarter of 1998 to $4.1 billion during the
third quarter of 1998. The September 30, 1998, locked mortgage application
pipeline (mortgage loans not yet closed but for which the interest rate has been
locked) was approximately $1.8 billion and the application pipeline (mortgage
loans for which the interest rate has not yet been locked) was approximately
$0.5 billion.
Mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed securities totaled $1.3
billion at September 30, 1998, versus $1.2 billion at December 31, 1997, an
increase of 8%. The Company's servicing portfolio (exclusive of loans under
subservicing agreements) increased to $9.7 billion at September 30, 1998, from
$7.1 billion at December 31, 1997, an increase of 37%.
Short-term borrowings, which are the Company's primary source of funds,
totaled $1.6 billion at September 30, 1998, compared to $1.2 billion at December
31, 1997, an increase of 33%. The increase in the balance outstanding at
September 30, 1998, resulted from increased funding requirements related to the
increase in the balance of mortgage loans held for sale and mortgage-backed
securities. There were $6.4 million in long-term borrowings at September 30,
1998, compared to $6.5 million at December 31, 1997, a decrease of 2%.
Other liabilities totaled $134.6 million as of September 30, 1998,
compared to the December 31, 1997, balance of $86.6 million, an increase of
$48.0 million, or 55%. The increase in other liabilities resulted primarily from
an increase in the volume of loans acquired through certain correspondent
funding programs of the Company.
The Company continues to face the same challenges as other companies
within the mortgage banking industry and as such is not immune from significant
volume declines precipitated by a rise in interest rates or mortgage servicing
rights and residual certificate valuation declines resulting from changes in
interest rates that can lead to changing prepayment speeds or other factors
beyond the Company's control. Management of the Company recognizes these
challenges and intends to continue to manage the Company accordingly.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
The Company's primary cash-flow requirement involves the funding of loan
production, which is met primarily through external borrowings. The Company has
entered into a 364-day, $670 million warehouse line of credit provided by a
syndicate of unaffiliated banks that expires in July 1999. The credit agreement
includes covenants requiring the Company to maintain (i) a minimum net worth of
$185 million, plus net income subsequent to June 30, 1998, and capital
contributions and minus permitted dividends, (ii) a ratio of total liabilities
to net worth of not more than 8.0 to 1.0, excluding debt incurred pursuant to
gestation and repurchase financing agreements, (iii) its eligibility as a
servicer of Ginnie Mae, FHA, VA, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage loans and
(iv) a mortgage servicing rights portfolio with an underlying unpaid
41
<PAGE> 42
principal balance of at least $4 billion. The provisions of the agreement also
restrict the Company's ability (i) to pay dividends in any fiscal quarter which
exceed 50% of the Company's net income for the quarter or (ii) to engage
significantly in any type of business unrelated to the mortgage banking
business, the servicing of mortgage loans or equipment leasing.
Additionally, the Company entered into a $200 million, 364-day term
revolving credit facility with a syndicate of unaffiliated banks. An $80 million
portion of the revolver facility converts in July 1999, into a four-year term
loan. The facility is secured by the Company's servicing portfolio designated as
"available-for-sale". A $70 million portion of the revolver facility matures in
July 1999, and is secured by the Company's servicing portfolio designated as
"held-for-sale". A $50 million portion of the revolver facility matures in July
1999, and is secured by a first-priority security interest in receivables on
servicing rights sold. The facility includes covenants identical to those
described above with respect to the warehouse line of credit.
The Company has also entered into a $200 million, 364-day term subprime
revolving credit facility, which expires in July 1999. The facility includes
covenants identical to those described above with respect to the warehouse line
of credit.
The Company was in compliance with the above-mentioned debt covenants at
September 30, 1998. Although management anticipates continued compliance, there
can be no assurance that the Company will be able to comply with the debt
covenants specified for each of these financing agreements. Failure to comply
could result in the loss of the related financing.
RBMG Asset Management Company, Inc. (Asset Management Co.), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of RBMG, Inc., and a bank entered into a master
repurchase agreement dated as of December 11, 1997, pursuant to the terms of
which Asset Management Co. is entitled from time to time to deliver eligible
subprime mortgage loans in an aggregate principal amount of up to $150 million
to a bank. The term of this repurchase agreement is 364 days. As of September
30, 1998 no loans have been sold under this agreement.
The Company has also entered into an uncommitted gestation financing
arrangement. The interest rate on funds borrowed pursuant to the gestation line
is based on a spread over the Federal Funds rate. The gestation line has a
funding limit of $1.2 billion.
The Company entered into a $6.6 million note agreement in May 1997. This
debt is secured by the Company's corporate headquarters. The terms of the
agreement require the Company to make 120 equal monthly principal and interest
payments based upon a fixed interest rate of 8.07%. The note contains covenants
similar to those described above.
RBC has a 364-day $150 million revolving credit facility to provide
financing for its leasing portfolio. The warehouse credit agreement matures in
July 1999, and contains various covenants regarding characteristics of the
collateral and the performance of the leases originated and serviced by RBC and
which restrict RBC's ability to incur debt, encumber assets, other than as
collateral for the facility, sell assets, merge, declare or pay any dividends or
change its corporate by-laws or articles of incorporation.
YEAR 2000
The Company recognizes the need to ensure that its operations will not be
materially adversely impacted by Year 2000 problems. These problems extend to
42
<PAGE> 43
business systems and equipment, facilities, infrastructure and services,
non-information technology and the readiness of the Company's business partners.
Failures due to processing errors potentially arising from calculations
and date routines and from non-information technology systems relating to the
Year 2000 date are a known risk. Some of the risks involved with Year 2000
problems are discussed later in this section. The Company is addressing these
risk with special attention being paid to the availability and integrity of its
mortgage production systems, financial systems and related interfaces.
State of Readiness
The Company has reviewed all of its mission critical information
technology and non-information technology systems and the following steps have
already been taken to help ensure that the Company's operations will continue
substantially unaffected by Year 2000 issues. They are:
- - -- Replacement of most production computer hardware, including servers,
desktop PCs and network infrastructure components with Year 2000
compliant systems. This effort is approximately 90% complete as of
September 30, 1998 and is scheduled to be finished during the first
quarter of 1999.
- - -- Implementation of Cybertek's LoanXchange Mortgage Processing System.
This software is designed to replace fourteen non-compliant applications
with an integrated system customized to support the Company's business.
The new system has been certified as Year 2000 compliant and
installation of the primary components is scheduled for the first
quarter of 1999.
- - -- Implementation of a standardized "Gold Desktop" that delivers Year 2000
compliant desktop software to each PC in the Company and offers
significant enhancements, particularly in the areas of reliability and
serviceability. Installation has begun and is scheduled to be
completed during the first quarter of 1999.
- - -- Replacement of PCDOCS, Cogent, General Ledger, Accounts Payable and the
Human Resources systems with Year 2000 compliant systems. Installation
has been completed.
The Company's growth required that it replace or upgrade many of the
Company's systems. This has been ongoing for the past eighteen months. The
Company's management believes that the new systems should resolve a very large
percentage of the Company's Year 2000 issues while providing the added benefit
of enhanced functionality, performance and reliability. The replacement of
existing systems with upgraded systems was not accelerated because of Year 2000
issues.
43
<PAGE> 44
Internal Proprietary Programs
The Company currently uses 20 applications that were developed
internally. Fourteen of these should be eliminated with the installation of
LoanXchange and the remaining six are anticipated to be modified for Year 2000
compliance. The Company does not view this as a significant task as all 20
applications combined represent only 175,000 lines of code with 43,000 contained
in the six programs that are scheduled to be modified. It is anticipated that
this work will be completed during the first quarter of 1999.
Laureate Realty
Laureate Realty, the Company's commercial mortgage company, has replaced
most of its hardware and infrastructure components with Year 2000 compliant
hardware. Additionally an upgrade from Version 7 to Version 8 of the McCracken
commercial mortgage servicing system is scheduled to occur in the first quarter
of 1999.
Republic Leasing
Republic Leasing, the Company's small ticket leasing company, uses only
two mission critical systems. One of the systems is Year 2000 compliant and an
upgrade of the other system to a Year 2000 compliant level is scheduled to be
completed during the fourth quarter of 1998.
Meritage Mortgage
Meritage Mortgage, the Company's sub-prime lender, plans to convert to the
LoanXchange system during 1999. Meritage's primary system is Contour, and an
upgrade to Contour's Year 2000 compliant system is also available. Existing
Meritage accounting systems are being eliminated and the functions moved to the
Company's already compliant accounting software.
Third Party Suppliers
The Company currently uses three non-compliant mission critical systems
provided by third parties. Alltel provides the Company's primary loan servicing
system and is the largest vendor of loan servicing systems in the United States.
This system is not Year 2000 compliant but Alltel has an active Year 2000
program underway. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac also supply software to the Company
for the transmittal of loan information to them. Both entities have Year 2000
projects underway and have expressed high levels of confidence that they will be
completed during the first quarter of 1999. Alltel, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac
are participating in a testing program run by the Mortgage Banker's Association
of America. The Company is monitoring their progress through this testing
vehicle.
Trading Partners
Connectivity with trading partners is a major issue for many companies,
but of lesser impact for the Company. The Company has only a handful of these
relationships, and in almost every instance its trading partner has provided the
tools, and remains responsible for the Year 2000 issues. Fannie Mae and Freddie
Mac provide most of this software, and as noted above, the Company has a high
confidence level in their Year 2000 programming and testing plans.
44
<PAGE> 45
Most loan registration and locking activity between the Company and its
correspondents and brokers is initiated by telephone and fax. Less than 15% is
electronic, and the Company provides that interface through the Internet.
The Company's residential mortgage business is obtained from over 4,000
correspondents and brokers and is not concentrated within a small universe of
these companies. Therefore, the Company is not undertaking a readiness review of
its customers. The Company is, however, enhancing its ability to provide
tracking reports to its customers over the Internet and by mail so it can assist
them in meeting their obligation to provide additional documentation on loans
already purchased by the Company. The Company does not believe that Year 2000
issues should have a material impact on its correspondent and broker
relationships. The Company is also communicating with suppliers, dealers,
financial institutions and others with which it does business to coordinate Year
2000 conversion. The Company does not foresee a material impact to the Company
surrounding the Year 2000 compliance of these external entities.
Ongoing Strategy
The Company is at a stage in its compliance efforts where it has extended
the scope of its compliance activities to include the entire enterprise and the
systems not addressed by the major projects already underway. To this end the
Company has engaged an outside consulting firm to assist in developing a plan
for addressing Year 2000 that should encompass the entire enterprise from both a
business and an information technology perspective.
The Company's approach utilizes an inventory strategy that captures
relevant data about each item with Year 2000 implications. Once the data is
collected, the Company will prioritize the information. By focusing on the most
critical systems first, the Company expects to report significant progress on
the major systems substantially in advance of January 1, 2000.
Financial Impact
Direct costs associated exclusively with achieving Year 2000 compliance
are expected to be between $0.5 and $1 million dollars and will be paid out of
cash flow. Direct costs associated with the first phase (the assessment phase)
of the Year 2000 effort were approximately $135 thousand through September 30,
1998. The Year 2000 effort is expected to use approximately 5% of information
technology's 1999 budget.
Risks
The costs of the project and the date on which the Company believes it
will complete the Year 2000 modifications are based on management's best
estimates, which were derived utilizing numerous assumptions of future events,
including the continued availability of certain resources and other factors.
However, there can be no guarantee that these estimates will be achieved and
actual results could differ materially from those anticipated. Specific factors
that might cause such material differences include, but are not limited to, the
availability and cost of personnel
45
<PAGE> 46
trained in this area, the ability to locate and correct all relevant computer
codes and unforeseen circumstances causing the Company to allocate its resources
elsewhere.
Contingency Planning
As management believes that the LoanXchange conversion will solve most of
the Company's Year 2000 issues, a significant risk is the inability to install
this software, currently scheduled for February, 1999, timely. To prepare for
this contingency the following alternative remedial actions have been developed:
- - -- To eliminate the non-compliant wholesale branch system the Company has
created an Internet transaction system that the Company intends to
begin using in the fourth quarter of 1998 to register and lock loans. A
back up third party system for generating closing documents is already
available in all offices. The combination of these two actions should
allow the Company to function without its current branch system or
LoanXchange.
- - -- Plans to install the Year 2000 compliant Contour system at Meritage
have been formulated and should be implemented as an interim step prior
to LoanXchange. This will provide a Year 2000 compliant system should
LoanXchange be delayed for Meritage.
- - -- The 14 internal programs being eliminated by LoanXchange represent only
132,000 lines of code. The Company has tested the applications and
identified the Year 2000 issues with each of the applications. Analysis
indicates that the applications could be made Year 2000 complaint with
minimal effort. Should LoanXchange installation be delayed materially
beyond the planned February 1999 installations, the Company intends to
undertake that action as necessary.
The Company is in the process of assessing what is its most likely worst
case scenario. Failure by either the Company or third parties to achieve Year
2000 compliance could cause short-term operational inconveniences and
inefficiencies for the Company. This may temporarily divert management's time
and attention from ordinary business activities. To the extent reasonably
achievable, the Company will seek to prevent or mitigate the efforts of such
possible failures through its contingency planning efforts. With the delivery
and testing of LoanXchange scheduled for the fourth quarter of 1998, the Company
feels sufficient time exists to execute the contingency plan.
Significant work has been accomplished to date on Year 2000 compliance as
part of the Company's aggressive growth and planned implementation of technology
to support the growth. The Company will continue its compliance efforts in both
the information systems area as well in the peripheral areas and non-information
technology that have potential impact on the Company's continuing operation.

CREDIT FACILITY

to time during the period from the Effective Date through the Termination Date,
one or more HFI Loans to the Borrower, in an aggregate unpaid principal amount,
for all such HFI Loans including the HFI Loans then to be made, not exceeding at
any time the lesser of (i) such Bank's HFI Commitment at such time and (ii)

on the Effective Date is $80,000,000.
(b) HFS Loans. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this

including the HFS Loans then to be made, not exceeding at any time the lesser of
(i) such Bank's HFS Commitment at such time and (ii) together with the aggregate

Base. The aggregate amount of the HFS Commitments on the Effective Date is
$70,000,000.

Loans of the other Banks, the Receivables Borrowing Base. The aggregate amount
of the Receivables Commitments on the Effective Date is $50,000,000.

<PAGE> 8
(d) Type of Loans. Subject to Section 1.06 and the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement, the Loans may, at the option of the Borrower, be
made as, and from time to time continued as or converted into, Base Rate,
Federal Funds Rate or LIBOR Rate Loans of any permitted Type, or any combination
thereof.
Section 1.02 Manner of Borrowing. (a) The Borrower shall give the
Agent notice (which shall be irrevocable) no later than 12:00 noon (New York
time) on, in the case of Base Rate and Federal Funds Rate Loans, the Business
Day of, and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the third LIBOR Business Day
before, the requested date for the making of such Loans. Each such notice shall
be in the form of Schedule 1.02 and shall specify (i) the requested date for the
making of the requested Loans, which shall be, in the case of Base Rate and
Federal Funds Rate Loans, a Business Day and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, a
LIBOR Business Day, (ii) the Kind or Kinds and Type or Types of Loans requested
and (iii) the amount of each such Loan, the aggregate of which amounts for each
Kind and Type of Loan requested by the Borrower shall be not less than the
lesser of $500,000 and the maximum amount of that Kind of Loan that can then be
borrowed by the Borrower hereunder. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent
shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and of the amount, Kind
and Type of each Loan to be made by such Bank on the requested date specified
therein.
(b) Not later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on each requested date
for the making of Loans, each Bank shall, if it has received the notice from the
Agent contemplated by Section 1.02(a) in a timely fashion, make available to the
Agent, in Dollars in funds immediately available to the Agent at the Agent's
Office, the Loans to be made by such Bank on such date. Any Bank's failure to
make any Loan to be made by it on the requested date therefor shall not relieve
any other Bank of its obligation to make any Loan to be made by such other Bank
on such date, but such other Bank shall not be liable for such failure.
(c) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from a Bank prior to
1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the requested date, if such Bank has received the
notice from the Agent contemplated by Section 1.02(a) in a timely fashion, for
the making of any Loans that such Bank will not make available to the Agent the
Loans requested to be made by such Bank on such date, the Agent may assume that
such Bank has made such Loans available to the Agent on such date in accordance
with Section 1.02(b) and the Agent in its sole discretion may, in reliance upon
such assumption, make available to the Borrower on such date a corresponding
amount on behalf of such Bank. If and to the extent such Bank shall not have so
made available to the Agent the Loans requested to be made by such Bank on such
date and the Agent shall have so made available to the Borrower a corresponding
amount on behalf of such Bank, such Bank shall, on demand, pay to the Agent such
corresponding amount together with interest thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate,
for each day from the date such amount shall have been so made available by the
Agent to the Borrower until the date such amount shall have been repaid to the
Agent. If such Bank does not pay such corresponding amount promptly upon the
Agent's demand therefor, the Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower, and the
Borrower shall immediately repay such corresponding amount to the Agent together
with accrued interest thereon at the applicable rate or rates provided in
Section 1.03(a).
8
<PAGE> 9
(d) All Loans made available to the Agent in accordance with Section
1.02(b) shall be disbursed by the Agent not later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time)
on the requested date therefor in Dollars in funds immediately available to the
Borrower by credit to an account maintained in the Borrower's name at the
Agent's Office or in such other manner as may have been specified in the
applicable notice and as shall be acceptable to the Agent.
Section 1.03 Interest. (a) (i) Rates. Each Loan shall bear interest
on the outstanding principal amount thereof until due at a rate per annum equal
to:
(A) so long as it is an HFI Loan that is (1) a LIBOR Loan, the
applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate, subject to Section 1.03(a)(ii), plus 1.750% or
(2) a Base Rate Loan, (aa) to the extent that it is Balance Funded, 1.750%, and
(bb) to the extent that it is not Balance Funded, the Base Rate as then in
effect plus 0.625%;
(B) so long as it is an HFS Loan that is (1) a LIBOR Loan, the
applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate, subject to Section 1.03(a)(ii), plus 1.250% or
(2) a Federal Funds Rate Loan, (aa) to the extent that it is Balance Funded,
1.375%, and (bb) to the extent that it is not Balance Funded, the Federal Funds
Rate as then in effect plus 1.375%; and
(C) so long as it is a Receivables Loan that is (1) a LIBOR Loan, the
applicable Adjusted LIBOR Rate, subject to Section 1.03(a)(ii), plus 1.000% or
(2) a Federal Funds Rate Loan, (aa) to the extent that it is Balance Funded,
1.125%, and (bb) to the extent that it is not Balance Funded, the Federal Funds
Rate as then in effect plus 1.125%;
provided that so long as the Borrower's long term unsecured senior debt shall be
rated either (a) BBB- or better by Standard & Poor's Ratings Group or (b) Baa3
or better by Moody's Investors Service, Inc., each Loan shall bear interest on
the outstanding principal amount thereof at the rate otherwise applicable
pursuant to this Section 1.03(a) less 0.25%.
(ii) Balance Funded Rate. Each Bank may offer to the
Borrower to have all or a portion of such Bank's LIBOR Rate Loans bear interest
at the Balance Funded Rate in lieu of the interest rate set forth in Section
1.03(a)(i)(A)(1), 1.03(a)(i)(B)(1) or 1.03(a)(i)(C)(1) above, as the case may
be. Subject to the provisions of Section 7.01(a)(iii), such offer shall be
continuously effective from the time made until withdrawn by such Bank upon at
least five Business Days' prior written notice to the Borrower. The Borrower may
elect, by written notice to a Bank that has an offer outstanding pursuant to the
preceding sentence given no later than three Business Days before the end of
each calendar month, to have a portion (the "Balance-Funded Amount") of the
principal amount of the outstanding LIBOR Rate Loans of such Bank during the
next succeeding calendar month bear interest at the Balance Funded Rate, and in
such event the Borrower shall be deemed to have indicated its intent to maintain
or have maintained with such Bank (or with a financial institution designated by
such Bank and acceptable to the Borrower) during such month Allocated Qualifying
Balances in an amount not less than the Balance Funded Amount. The Bank and such
Borrower will reach a separate agreement as to the amount, if any, of costs of
the type referred to in Section 7.04 that shall be payable by the Borrower to
such Bank. In the event that the Borrower elects to have all or a portion of any
Bank's LIBOR Rate
9
<PAGE> 10
Loans bear interest at the Balance Funded Rate, such Bank and the Borrower shall
reallocate and settle any differences between the interest invoiced by the Agent
for such month and the interest due at the Balance Funded Rate. If the
Qualifying Balances maintained by the Borrower with such Bank (or with a
financial institution designated as set forth above) during such month are less
than the Balance-Funded Amount, a deficiency fee (a "Balance Deficiency Fee")
shall be payable to such Bank by the Borrower. The Balance Deficiency Fee for
any month shall be calculated by multiplying the amount by which the
Balance-Funded Amount for such month exceeds the average Qualifying Balances for
such month (the "Balance Deficiency"), to the extent such Balance Deficiency is
applicable to HFI Loans, by the Base Rate plus 0.625%, to the extent such
Balance Deficiency is applicable to HFS Loans, by the Federal Funds Rate plus
1.375% and, to the extent such Balance Deficiency is applicable to Receivable
Loans, by the Federal Funds Rate plus 1.125%, and for this purpose, a Balance
Deficiency shall be deemed applicable, first, to Receivable Loans, second, to
HFS Loans and third, to HFI Loans. The Borrower shall pay any Balance Deficiency
Fee to such Bank within five Business Days after notice has been delivered by
the Bank. Each LIBOR Rate Loan that bears interest at a reduced rate pursuant to
this Section 1.03(a)(ii) shall continue to be classified as a LIBOR Rate Loan
for all purposes of this Agreement and the Notes except this Section 1.03(a)(ii)
and Section 7.04. Qualifying Balances used for purposes of determining whether
Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans are Balance Funded Base Rate or Federal
Funds Rate Loans pursuant to Section 1.03(a)(i) shall not be considered
Qualifying Balances for purposes of this Section 1.03(a)(ii) and Qualifying
Balances used for purposes of this Section 1.03(a)(ii) shall not be considered
Qualifying Balances of the Borrower for purposes of any other Section.
(iii) Post-Default Rate. If all or any part of a Loan or
any other amount due and payable under the Loan Documents is not paid when due
(whether at maturity, by reason of notice of prepayment or acceleration or
otherwise), such unpaid amount shall, to the maximum extent permitted by
Applicable Law, bear interest for each day during the period from the date such
amount became so due until it shall be paid in full (whether before or after
judgment) at a rate per annum equal to the applicable Post-Default Rate.
(b) Payment. Interest shall be payable by the Borrower (i) in the
case of Base Rate and Federal Funds Rate Loans, on the second Business Day after
receipt of the billing statement referred to in Section 1.03(d), (ii) in the
case of LIBOR Rate Loans, on the last day of each applicable Interest Period
(and, if an Interest Period is longer than one month, at intervals of one month
after the first day of such Interest Period) and (iii) in the case of any Loan,
when such Loan shall be due (whether at maturity, by reason of notice of
prepayment or acceleration or otherwise) or converted, but only to the extent
then accrued on the amount then so due or converted. Any interest accruing at
the Post-Default Rate shall be payable by the Borrower on demand.
(c) Determination of LIBOR Rate. The Agent, upon determining the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate for each Interest Period, shall promptly notify the Borrower
and the Banks thereof by telephone (confirmed in writing) or in writing, and
such determination by the Agent shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest
error.
10
<PAGE> 11
(d) Interest Billing Statement. The Agent shall deliver to the
Borrower and each Bank an interest billing statement on or before the third
Business Day of each month, which interest billing statement shall set forth the
interest accrued with respect to Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans from and
including the first day of the preceding month through the last day of such
month computed on the assumption that, during such month, none of such Bank's
Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans bore interest at the Balance Funded Rate
and none of such Bank's LIBOR Rate Loans bore interest pursuant to Section
1.03(a)(ii) at the Balance Funded Rate; provided that any failure or delay in
delivering such interest billing statement or any inaccuracy therein shall not
affect the Borrower's obligation to pay interest in accordance with the terms of
this Agreement. In the event that all or any portion of a Bank's Loans bore
interest during any month at interest rates different from those assumed in the
Agent's billing statement for that month, such Bank and the Borrower shall
reallocate and settle any difference between the interest invoiced by the Agent
for such month and the actual interest due for such month and the Borrower shall
notify the Agent thereof.
(e) Conversion and Continuation. (i) All or any part of the principal
amount of Loans of any Type of any Kind may, on any Business Day, be converted
into any other Type or Types of the same Kind of Loans, except that (A) LIBOR
Rate Loans may be converted only on the last day of an applicable Interest
Period and (B) Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans may be converted into LIBOR
Rate Loans only on a LIBOR Business Day. Notwithstanding any other provisions in
this Agreement a Loan of any Kind cannot be converted into a Loan or Loans of a
different Kind.
(ii) Base Rate and Federal Funds Rate Loans shall continue
as Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans, as the case may be, unless and until
such Loans are converted into Loans of another Type. LIBOR Rate Loans of any
Type shall continue as Loans of such Type until the end of the then current
Interest Period therefor, at which time they shall be automatically converted
into Base Rate Loans or Federal Funds Rate Loans, as the case may be, unless the
Borrower shall have given the Agent notice in accordance with Section
1.03(e)(iv) requesting either that such Loans continue as Loans of such Type for
another Interest Period or that such Loans be converted into Loans of another
Type at the end of such Interest Period.
(iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
in Section 1.03(e)(i) or (ii), during a Default the Agent may notify the
Borrower that Loans may only be converted into or continued as Loans of certain
specified Types and, thereafter, until no Default shall continue to exist, Loans
may not be converted into or continued as Loans of any Type other than one or
more of such specified Types.
(iv) The Borrower shall give the Agent notice (which shall
be irrevocable) of each conversion of Loans or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans
no later than 2:00 p.m. (New York time) on, in the case of a conversion into
Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans, the Business Day, and, in the case of a
conversion into or continuation of LIBOR Rate Loans, the third LIBOR Business
Day, before the requested date of such conversion or continuation. Each notice
of conversion or continuation shall be in the form of Schedule 1.03(e)(iv) and
shall specify (A) the requested date of such conversion or continuation, (B) the
amount, Kind and Type and, in
11
<PAGE> 12
the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the last day of the applicable Interest Period of
the Loans to be converted or continued and (C) the amount and Type or Types of
Loans into which such Loans are to be converted or as which such Loans are to be
continued. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each
Bank of (x) the contents thereof, (y) the amount, Kind and Type and, in the case
of LIBOR Rate Loans, the last day of the applicable Interest Period of each Loan
to be converted or continued by such Bank and (z) the amount and Type or Types
of Loans into which such Loans are to be converted or as which such Loans are to
be continued.
(f) Maximum Interest Rate. Nothing contained in the Loan Documents
shall require the Borrower at any time to pay interest at a rate exceeding the
Maximum Permissible Rate. If interest payable by the Borrower on any date would
exceed the maximum amount permitted by the Maximum Permissible Rate, such
interest payment shall automatically be reduced to such maximum permitted
amount, and interest for any subsequent period, to the extent less than the
maximum amount permitted for such period by the Maximum Permissible Rate, shall
be increased by the unpaid amount of such reduction. Any interest actually
received for any period in excess of such maximum amount permitted for such
period shall be deemed to have been applied as a prepayment of the Loans.
Section 1.04 Repayment. (a) (i) The HFS Loans and the Receivables
Loans outstanding at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Termination Date shall
mature and become due and payable, and shall be repaid by the Borrower, at such

p.m. (New York time) on the Termination Date shall mature and become due and
payable, and shall be repaid by the Borrower, in sixteen (16) consecutive
quarterly installments, payable on Installment Payment Dates commencing with
October 20, 1999. Each such installment shall be in an amount equal to 6.25% of
the HFI Loans outstanding at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Termination Date,
except that, in any event, the final installment shall be in an amount equal to
the amount of the HFI Loans then outstanding.
(b) If at 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on the Termination Date (i) any
Loan Document Representation and Warranty shall not be true and correct in all
material respects at and as of such time, (ii) a Default or a Borrowing Base
Deficiency with respect to the HFI Loans shall have occurred and be continuing
or (iii) any Bank shall not have received such materials as it may have
requested pursuant to Section 1(f) of Annex E hereto, the HFI Loans outstanding
at such time shall mature and become due and payable, and shall be repaid by the
Borrower in full at such time.
(c) Amounts repaid pursuant to Section 1.04(a) shall be applied first
to repay Base Rate Loans, second to repay Federal Funds Rate Loans and then to
repay LIBOR Rate Loans in the order that the Interest Periods for such Loans end
with Loans with Interest Periods having the earliest maturities being paid
first.
Section 1.05 Prepayments. (a) Optional Prepayments. The Borrower may,
at any time and from time to time, prepay the Loans in whole or in part, without
premium or penalty (but subject to Section 7.04), except that any partial
prepayment shall be in an aggregate principal amount of any Kind of Loan of at
least $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of
12
<PAGE> 13
$1,000,000 in excess thereof. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice of each
prepayment pursuant to this Section 1.05(a) no later than 12:00 noon (New York
time) on, in the case of a prepayment of Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans,
the Business Day, and, in the case of a prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans, the
third LIBOR Business Day, before the date of such prepayment. Each such notice
of prepayment shall be in the form of Schedule 1.05(a) and shall specify (i) the
date such prepayment is to be made and (ii) the amount, Kind and Type and, in
the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the last day of the applicable Interest Period of
the Loans to be prepaid. Upon receipt of any such notice, the Agent shall
promptly notify each Bank of the contents thereof and the amount, Kind and Type
and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, the last day of the applicable Interest
Period of each Loan of such Bank to be prepaid. Amounts to be prepaid pursuant
to this Section 1.05(a) shall irrevocably be due and payable on the date
specified in the applicable notice of prepayment, together with interest thereon
as provided in Section 1.03(b).
(b) Borrowing Base Mandatory Prepayments. If at any time a Borrowing
Base Deficiency exists for any reason, including but not limited to the sale of
any HFI Borrowing Base Servicing Rights, HFS Borrowing Base Servicing Rights or
Borrowing Base Receivables, as the case may be, included in any then current
Borrowing Base, the Borrower shall, upon demand by the Agent on any Business
Day, on that day, prepay the Loans with respect to which such Borrowing Base
Deficiency exists in an amount not less than the amount of the Borrowing Base
Deficiency. The Borrower shall give the Agent notice of any Borrowing Base
Deficiency no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the date thereof.
(c) Servicing Rights Disposition Mandatory Prepayments. In the event
of any sale of any Servicing Rights that constitute Collateral by virtue of
clause (a)(i) or (ii) of the definition of Servicing Rights Collateral and that
are HFI Borrowing Base Servicing Rights or HFS Borrowing Base Servicing Rights,
the Borrower shall, if the Loan to Value Percentage, after such sale, would be
more than fifty percent (50%), within one Business Day of the receipt by the
Borrower of the Net Cash Proceeds, if any, of such disposition (i) prepay the
Loans in an amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of such Net Cash Proceeds
or (ii) add as Collateral such Net Cash Proceeds, but only for a period of six
months from the date of such sale, at the end of which period, unless such Net
Cash Proceeds have been used for the acquisition of Servicing Rights, Loans in
the amount of such Net Cash Proceeds shall be repaid. Net Cash Proceeds to be
held as Collateral shall be credited to such account (with such account to be
interest bearing at rates acceptable to the Collateral Agent and to the extent
consistent with Applicable Law) as the Collateral Agent shall specify, which
account will be subject to the sole dominion and control of the Collateral
Agent.
The Borrower shall give the Agent notice of each required prepayment
pursuant to this Section 1.05(c) no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on the
date thereof.
(d) Application to Types of Loans. Amounts prepaid pursuant to
Section 1.05(b) and (c) shall be applied first to prepay Base Rate Loans, second
to prepay Federal Funds Rate Loans, and then to prepay LIBOR Rate Loans in the
order that the Interest Periods for such Loans end with Loans with Interest
Periods having the earliest maturities being paid first.
13
<PAGE> 14
Amounts to be prepaid pursuant to Section 1.05(b) and (c) shall be paid on the
day or within the time period specified therefor, whether or not such payment
would require a prepayment of LIBOR Rate Loans prior to the last day of an
applicable Interest Period or would result in losses, costs or expenses
compensable under Section 7.04 and, for purposes of Section 1.11(c) and Section
6.01(a), shall be deemed to be "due" on the day specified for such payment or on
the last day of the period within which such payment is required to be made.
(e) Application to Installments. All prepayments of HFI Loans made
(or deemed to have been made pursuant to Section 1.03(f) hereof) subsequent to
the Termination Date shall be applied, if such prepayments were made pursuant to
Section 1.05(a), to such installments of the HFI Loans as the Borrower may
specify and, if such prepayments were made pursuant to Section 1.05(b) or (c),
to installments of the HFI Loans in the inverse order of their maturity.
(f) Reborrowing. Amounts of HFI Loans prepaid subsequent to the
Termination Date may not be reborrowed.
Section 1.06 Limitation on Types of Loans. Notwithstanding anything
to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Borrower shall borrow, prepay,
convert and continue Loans in a manner such that (a) the aggregate principal
amount of LIBOR Rate Loans of the same Kind and Type and having the same
Interest Period shall at all times be not less than $1,000,000, (b) there shall
not be, at any one time, more than four Interest Periods in effect with respect
to LIBOR Rate Loans of all Types of any Kind of Loan, (c) no scheduled payment
of LIBOR Rate Loans will have to be made prior to the last day of an applicable
Interest Period in order to repay the Loans in the amounts and (subject to
Section 1.11(d)) on the dates specified in Section 1.04 and (d) only HFI Loans
may be Base Rate Loans and only HFS Loans and Receivables Loans may be Federal
Funds Rate Loans.
Section 1.07 Change in Commitments. (a) Reduction of Commitments. The
Borrower may reduce the Commitments by giving the Agent notice (which shall be
irrevocable) thereof no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on a Business Day
which is not less than 30 days before the requested date of such reduction,
except that, (i) partial reduction of the Commitments shall be in an aggregate
amount not less than $1,000,000 or any integral multiple of $1,000,000 in excess
thereof and (ii) no reduction may reduce the Commitments to an amount less than
the aggregate amount of the applicable Kind of Loans outstanding. Upon receipt
of any such notice, the Agent shall promptly notify each Bank of the contents
thereof and the amount to which such Bank's Commitment is to be reduced.
(b) Increase in HFI Commitments and HFS Commitments. At any time and
from time to time after the Effective Date, the aggregate amount of the HFI
Commitments or the HFS Commitments, or both, at the option of the Borrower, may
be increased either by new banks (each, a "New Commitment Bank") establishing
HFI Commitments or HFS Commitments, or both, at the option of the Borrower, or
by one or more then existing Banks increasing their HFI Commitments or HFS
Commitments, as the case may be (each such increase by either means, a
"Commitment Increase", and each such new bank or existing Bank increasing its
HFI Commitment or HFS Commitment, as the case may be, an "Additional Commitment
Bank"). No
14
<PAGE> 15
Commitment Increase shall become effective unless and until (i) the Borrower,
the Agent and the Additional Commitment Bank shall have executed and delivered
an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit B (a "Commitment Increase
Supplement") with respect to such Commitment Increase, which agreement the Agent
may decline to execute and deliver if it does not wish to consent to such
Commitment Increase, and (ii) if, after giving effect thereto, the aggregate
amount of the HFI Commitments would exceed $150,000,000 or the aggregate amount
of the HFS Commitments would exceed $100,000,000, such Commitment Increase shall
have been consented to by each of the other Banks. Promptly after the effective
date of any such Commitment Increase Supplement, the Agent shall determine and
notify the Additional Commitment Bank and each other Bank of the amounts of HFI
Loans and HSF Loans, as the case may be, the Additional Commitment Bank must
purchase and the other Banks must sell (with the purchase prices of such sales
to be determined in accordance with Exhibit C hereto) so that, after giving
effect to such purchases and sales, the amounts of HFI Loans and HSF Loans, as
the case may be, of each Type of each Bank (including the Additional Commitment
Bank) shall be proportional to its HFI Commitment or HSF Commitment, as the case
may be. Upon payment of such purchase price, each other Bank shall be deemed to
have sold to such Additional Commitment Bank, and such Additional Commitment
Bank shall be deemed to have purchased from each other Bank, on the terms set
forth in Exhibit C hereto, such amount of such other Bank's HFI Loans and HSF
Loans, as the case may be. Upon the effectiveness of any Commitment Increase,
the Borrower shall issue a Note to each Additional Commitment Bank that is not a
Bank.
Section 1.08 Fees. (a) Commitment Fees. The Borrower shall pay to the
Agent for the account of each Bank a commitment fee (i) on the daily unused
amount of such Bank's HFI Commitment for each day from the Effective Date
through the Termination Date at a rate per annum of 0.225%, and (ii) on the
daily unused amount of such Bank's HFS Commitment and Receivables Commitment for
each day from the Effective Date through the Termination Date at a rate per
annum of 0.20%, in each case payable in arrears, on the first Business Day of
each calendar quarter, on the Termination Date and on the date of any reduction
of any such Commitment; provided that so long as the Borrower's long term
unsecured debt shall be rated either (a) BBB- or better by Standard & Poor's
Ratings Group or (b) Baa3 or better by Moody's Investor Service, Inc., such
commitment fee shall be 0.175% with respect to HFI and Receivables Commitments
and 0.15% with respect to HFS Commitments.
(b) Fees Non-Refundable. Subject to Section 1.03(f), if applicable,
none of the fees payable under this Section 1.08 shall be refundable in whole or
in part under any circumstances.
Section 1.09 Computation of Interest and Fees. Interest, other than
at the Maximum Permissible Rate, and the commitment fees shall be computed on
the basis of a year of 360 days and paid for the actual number of days elapsed.
Interest for any period shall be calculated from and including the first day
thereof to but excluding the last day thereof. Interest at the Maximum
Permissible Rate shall be computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
the case may be.
15
<PAGE> 16
Section 1.10 Evidence of Indebtedness. Each Bank's Loans and the
Borrower's obligation to repay such Loans with interest in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement shall be evidenced by this Agreement, the records of
such Bank and a single Note payable to the order of such Bank which, subject to
Section 9.19, may be a Registered Note. The records of each Bank shall be prima
facie evidence of such Bank's Loans and accrued interest thereon and of all
payments made in respect thereof.
Section 1.11 Payments by the Borrower. (a) Time, Place and Manner.
All payments due to the Agent under the Loan Documents shall be made to the
Agent at the Agent's Office or to such other Person or at such other address as
the Agent may designate by notice to the Borrower and as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Borrower. All payments due to any Bank under the Loan
Documents shall, in the case of payments on account of principal of or interest
on the Loans or fees, be made to the Agent at the Agent's Office and, in the
case of all other payments, be made directly to such Bank at its Domestic
Lending Office or at such other address, within the United States of America, as
such Bank may designate by notice to the Borrower and as shall be reasonably
acceptable to the Borrower. All payments due to any Bank under the Loan
Documents, whether made to the Agent or directly to such Bank, shall be made for
the account of, in the case of payments in respect of LIBOR Rate Loans, such
Bank's LIBOR Lending Office and, in the case of all other payments, such Bank's
Domestic Lending Office. All payments due to the Collateral Agent under the Loan
Documents shall be made to the Collateral Agent at the Collateral Agent's
Office. A payment shall not be deemed to have been made on any day unless such
payment has been received by the required Person, at the required place of
payment, in Dollars in funds immediately available to such Person at such place,
no later than 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on such day.
(b) No Reductions. All payments due to the Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Bank under the Loan Documents, and all other terms, conditions,
covenants and agreements to be observed and performed by the Borrower
thereunder, shall be made, observed or performed by the Borrower without any
reduction or deduction whatsoever, including any reduction or deduction for any
set-off, recoupment, counterclaim (whether sounding in tort, contract or
otherwise) or Tax, except for any withholding or deduction for Taxes required to
be withheld or deducted under Applicable Law.
(c) Authorization to Charge Accounts. The Borrower hereby authorizes
the Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Bank, if and to the extent any amount
payable by the Borrower under the Loan Documents (whether payable to such Person
or to any other Person that is the Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Bank) is not
otherwise paid when due, to charge such amount against any or all of the
accounts of the Borrower with such Person or any of its Affiliates (whether
maintained at a branch or office located within or without the United States),
with the Borrower remaining liable for any deficiency.
(d) Extension of Payment Dates. Whenever any payment to the Agent,
the Collateral Agent or any Bank under the Loan Documents would otherwise be due
(except by reason of acceleration) on a day that is not a Business Day, or, in
the case of payments of the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans, a LIBOR Business Day,
such payment shall instead be due on
16
<PAGE> 17
the next succeeding Business or LIBOR Business Day, as the case may be, unless,
in the case of a payment of the principal of LIBOR Rate Loans, such extension
would cause payment to be due in the next succeeding calendar month, in which
case such due date shall be advanced to the next preceding LIBOR Business Day.
If the date any payment under the Loan Documents is due is extended (whether by
operation of any Loan Document, Applicable Law or otherwise), such payment shall
bear interest for such extended time at the rate of interest applicable
hereunder.
Section 1.12 Distribution of Payments by the Agent. (a) The Agent
shall promptly distribute to each Bank its ratable share of each payment
received by the Agent under the Loan Documents for the account of the Banks by
credit to an account of such Bank at the Agent's Office or by wire transfer to
an account of such Bank at an office of any other commercial bank located in the
United States. Each such distribution of any such payment shall be made on (i)
the same day as such payment is received by the Agent, if such payment is
received by the Agent by 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any day, and (ii) the
first Business Day after such payment is received by the Agent, if such payment
is received by the Agent after 1:00 p.m. (New York time) on any day. If any such
distribution of any such payment is not made by the Agent on the scheduled date,
the Agent shall, on demand, pay interest thereon, for each day until paid, at
the Federal Funds Rate.
(b) Unless the Agent shall have received notice from the Borrower
prior to the date on which any payment is due to the Banks under the Loan
Documents that the Borrower will not make such payment in full, the Agent may
assume that the Borrower has made such payment in full to the Agent on such date
and the Agent in its sole discretion may, in reliance upon such assumption,
cause to be distributed to each Bank on such due date a corresponding amount
with respect to the amount then due such Bank. If and to the extent the Borrower
shall not have so made such payment in full to the Agent and the Agent shall
have so distributed to any Bank a corresponding amount, such Bank shall, on
demand, repay to the Agent the amount so distributed together with interest
thereon, at the Federal Funds Rate, for each day from the date such amount is
distributed to such Bank until the date such Bank repays such amount to the
Agent.
Section 1.13 Taxes. (a) Taxes Payable by the Borrower. If under
Applicable Law, any Tax is required to be withheld or deducted by the Borrower
from, or is otherwise payable by the Borrower in connection with, any payment to
the Agent or any Bank under the Loan Documents, the Borrower (i) shall (A) if so
required, withhold or deduct the amount of such Tax from such payment and, in
any case, pay such Tax to the appropriate taxing authority in accordance with
Applicable Law and (B) indemnify the Agent and such Bank in accordance with the
provisions of Section 9.02(a) against its failure so to do and (ii) shall,
subject to Section 1.13(d)(ii), pay to the Agent or such Bank, as applicable,
such additional amounts as may be necessary so that the net amount received by
the Agent or such Bank with respect to such payment, after withholding or
deducting all Taxes required to be withheld or deducted by the Borrower, is
equal to the full amount payable under the Loan Documents. If any Tax is
withheld or deducted by the Borrower from, or is otherwise payable by the
Borrower in connection with, any payment payable to the Agent or any Bank under
the Loan Documents, the Borrower shall, promptly after the date of such payment,
furnish to the Agent or such Bank, as applicable, the original or a certified
copy of a receipt for such Tax from the applicable taxing authority. If any
17
<PAGE> 18
payment due to the Agent or any Bank under the Loan Documents is or is expected
to be made without withholding or deducting therefrom, or otherwise paying in
connection therewith, any Tax payable by the Borrower to any taxing authority,
the Borrower shall, within 30 days after any request from the Agent or such
Bank, as applicable, furnish to the Agent or such Bank a certificate from such
taxing authority, or an opinion of counsel acceptable to the Agent or such Bank,
in either case stating that no Tax payable to such taxing authority was or is,
as the case may be, required to be withheld or deducted from, or otherwise paid
by the Borrower in connection with, such payment.
(b) Taxes Payable by the Agent or any Bank. The Borrower shall,
promptly upon request by the Agent or any Bank for the payment thereof, but
subject to Section 1.13(d)(ii), pay to the Agent or such Bank, as the case may
be, (i) all Taxes (other than Bank Taxes) payable by the Agent or such Bank, as
the case may be, with respect to any payment due to the Agent or such Bank under
the Loan Documents and (ii) all Taxes (including Bank Taxes) payable by the
Agent or such Bank as a result of payments made by the Borrower (whether made to
a taxing authority or to the Agent or such Bank) pursuant to this Section
1.13(b).
(c) Credits and Deductions. If the Agent or any Bank is, in its sole
opinion, able to apply for any credit, deduction or other reduction in Bank
Taxes by reason of any payment made by the Borrower under Section 1.13 (a) or
(b), the Agent or such Bank, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to
obtain such credit, deduction or other reduction and, upon receipt thereof, will
pay to the Borrower such amount, not exceeding the increased amount paid by the
Borrower, as is equal to the net after-tax value to the Agent or such Bank, in
its sole opinion, of such part of such credit, deduction or other reduction as
it considers to be allocable to such payment by the Borrower, having regard to
all of the Agent's or such Bank's dealings giving rise to similar credits,
deductions or other reductions in relation to the same tax period and to the
cost of obtaining the same; provided, however, that (i) the Agent or such Bank,
as the case may be, shall not be obligated to disclose to the Borrower any
information regarding its tax affairs or computations and (ii) nothing in this
Section 1.13(c) shall interfere with the right of the Agent or such Bank to
arrange its tax affairs as it deems appropriate.
(d) Exemption from U.S. Withholding and Backup Withholding Taxes. (i)
There shall be submitted to the Borrower and the Agent, (A) on or before the
first date that interest or fees are payable to such Bank under the Loan
Documents, (1) if at the time the same are applicable, (aa) by each Bank that is
not a United States Person, two duly completed and signed copies of Internal
Revenue Service Form 1001 or 4224, in either case entitling such Bank to a
complete exemption from withholding of any United States federal income taxes on
all amounts to be received by such Bank under the Loan Documents, or (bb) by
each Bank that is a Non-US Bank, (x) a duly completed Internal Revenue Service
Form W-8 and (y) a certification in the form of Schedule 1.13(d) that such Bank
is a Non-US Bank or (2) if at the time any of the foregoing are inapplicable,
duly completed and signed copies of such form, if any, as entitles such Bank to
exemption from withholding of United States federal income taxes to the maximum
extent to which such Bank is then entitled under Applicable Law, and (B) from
time to time thereafter, prior to the expiration or obsolescence of any
previously delivered form or upon any previously delivered form becoming
inaccurate or inapplicable, such further duly completed and
18
<PAGE> 19
signed copies of such form, if any, as entitles such Bank to exemption from
withholding of United States federal income taxes to the maximum extent to which
such Bank is then entitled under Applicable Law. Each Bank shall promptly notify
the Borrower and the Agent if (aa) it is required to withdraw or cancel any form
or certificate previously submitted by it or any such form or certificate has
otherwise become ineffective or inaccurate or (bb) payments to it are or will be
subject to withholding of United States federal income taxes to a greater extent
than the extent to which payments to it were previously subject. Upon the
request of the Borrower or the Agent, each Bank that is a United States Person
shall from time to time submit to the Borrower and the Agent a certificate to
the effect that it is such a United States Person and a duly completed Internal
Revenue Service Form W-9.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained
herein, the Borrower shall not be required to pay any additional amount in
respect of withholding of United States federal income taxes pursuant to this
Section 1.13 to any Bank (A) except to the extent such Taxes are required to be
withheld as a result of (1) in the case of a Person that is a Bank on the
Effective Date, a Regulatory Change Enacted after the Effective Date and (2) in
the case of a Person that becomes a Bank after the Effective Date, a Regulatory
Change Enacted after such Person becomes a Bank, or (B) to the extent such
withholding is required because such Bank has failed (1) to submit any form or
certificate that it is entitled to so submit under Applicable Law or, (2) in the
case of a Bank that is a Non-US Bank, to cause its Notes to be issued as
Registered Notes or (C) in the case of a Person that becomes a Bank after the
Effective Date, except to the extent such additional amount would have been
payable had such Person not become a Bank.
Section 1.14 Pro Rata Treatment. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary contained herein and except to the extent otherwise provided herein,
(a) Loans of each Kind and Type to be made on any day shall be made by the Banks
pro rata in accordance with their respective Commitments, (b) Loans of the Banks
shall be converted and continued pro rata in accordance with their respective
amounts of Loans of the Type and, in the case of LIBOR Rate Loans, having the
Interest Period being so converted or continued, (c) each reduction in the
Commitments shall be made pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts
thereof and (d) each payment, including repayment and prepayment, of the
principal of or interest on the Loans or of fees shall be made for the account
of the Banks pro rata in accordance with the respective amounts thereof then due
and payable.

ADDITIONAL CREDIT FACILITY PROVISIONS
Section 7.01 Mandatory Suspension and Conversion of LIBOR Rate Loans.
(a) A Bank's obligations to make, continue or convert into LIBOR Rate Loans of
any Type shall be suspended, all such Bank's outstanding Loans of that Type
shall be converted on the last day of their applicable Interest Periods (or, if
earlier, in the case of clause (iii) below, on the last day such Bank may
lawfully continue to maintain Loans of that Type or, in the case of clause (iv)
below, on the day determined by such Bank to be the last Business Day before the
effective date of the applicable restriction) into, and all pending requests for
the making or continuation of or conversion into Loans of such Type by such Bank
shall be deemed requests for, Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loans, if:
(i) on or prior to the determination of an
interest rate for a LIBOR Rate Loan of that Type for any Interest
Period, the Agent determines that for any reason appropriate
information is not available to it for purposes of determining the
Adjusted LIBOR Rate for such Interest Period;
(ii) on or prior to the first day of any Interest
Period for a LIBOR Rate Loan of that Type, the Required Banks
determine that the Adjusted LIBOR Rate as determined by the Agent for
such Interest Period would not accurately reflect the cost to such
Banks of making, continuing or converting into LIBOR Rate Loans of
such Type for such Interest Period;
(iii) at any time such Bank determines that any
Regulatory Change Enacted after the Effective Date makes it unlawful
for such Bank or its applicable Lending Office to make, continue or
convert into any LIBOR Rate Loan of that Type, or to comply with its
obligations hereunder in respect thereof or to charge interest based
on Qualifying Balances; or
(iv) such Bank determines that, by reason of any
Regulatory Change Enacted after the Effective Date, such Bank or its
applicable Lending Office is restricted, directly or indirectly, in
the amount that it may hold of (A) a category of liabilities that
includes deposits by reference to which, or on the basis of which,
the interest rate
29
<PAGE> 30
applicable to LIBOR Rate Loans of that Type is directly or indirectly
determined or (B) the category of assets that includes LIBOR Rate
Loans of that Type.
(b) If, as a result of this Section 7.01, any Loan of any Bank that
would otherwise be made or maintained as or converted into a LIBOR Rate Loan of
any Type for any Interest Period is instead made or maintained as or converted
into a Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loan, then, unless the corresponding Loan
of each of the other Banks is also to be made or maintained as or converted into
a Base Rate or Federal Funds Rate Loan, such Loan shall be treated as being a
LIBOR Rate Loan of such Type for such Interest Period for all purposes of this
Agreement (including the timing, application and proration among the Banks of
interest payments, conversions and repayments) except for the calculation of the
interest rate borne by such Loan. The Agent shall promptly notify the Borrower
and each Bank of the existence or occurrence of any condition or circumstance
specified in clause (a)(i) above, and each Bank shall promptly notify the
Borrower and the Agent of the existence or occurrence of any condition or
circumstance specified in Sections 7.01(a)(ii), (iii) and (iv) applicable to
such Bank's Loans, but the failure by the Agent or such Bank to give any such
notice shall not affect such Bank's rights hereunder.
Section 7.02 Regulatory Changes. If in the determination of any Bank
(a) any Regulatory Change Enacted after the Effective Date shall directly or
indirectly (i) reduce the amount of any sum received or receivable by such Bank
with respect to any Loan or the return to be earned by such Bank on any Loan,
(ii) impose a cost on such Bank or any Affiliate of such Bank that is
attributable to the making or maintaining of, or such Bank's Commitment to make,
any Loan, (iii) require such Bank or any Affiliate of such Bank to make any
payment on or calculated by reference to the gross amount of any amount received
by such Bank under any Loan Document or (iv) reduce, or have the effect of
reducing, the rate of return on any capital of such Bank or any Affiliate of
such Bank that such Bank or such Affiliate is required to maintain on account of
any Loan or such Bank's Commitment to make any Loan and (b) such reduction,
increased cost or payment shall not be fully compensated for by an adjustment in
the applicable rates of interest payable under the Loan Documents, then the
Borrower shall pay to such Bank such additional amounts as such Bank determines
will, together with any adjustment in the applicable rates of interest payable
hereunder, fully compensate for such reduction, increased cost or payment. Such
additional amounts shall be payable, in the case of those applicable to prior
periods, within 15 days after request by such Bank for such payment and, in the
case of those applicable to future periods, on the dates specified, or
determined in accordance with a method specified, by such Bank. Each Bank will
promptly notify the Borrower of any determination made by it referred to in
clauses (a) and (b) above, but the failure to give such notice shall not affect
such Bank's right to compensation.
Section 7.03 Capital Requirements. If, in the determination of any
Bank, such Bank or any Affiliate of such Bank is required, under Applicable Law,
interpretations, directives, requests and guidelines (whether or not having the
force of law), to maintain capital on account of any Loan or such Bank's
Commitment to make any Loan, then, upon request by such Bank, the Borrower shall
from time to time thereafter pay to such Bank such additional amounts as such
Bank determines will fully compensate for any reduction in the rate of return on
the capital
30
<PAGE> 31
that such Bank or such Affiliate is so required to maintain on account of such
Loan or Commitment suffered as a result of such capital requirement. Such
additional amounts shall be payable, in the case of those applicable to prior
periods, within 15 days after request by such Bank for such payment and, in the
case of those relating to future periods, on the dates specified, or determined
in accordance with a method specified, by such Bank.
Section 7.04 Funding Losses. The Borrower shall pay to each Bank,
upon request, such amount or amounts as such Bank determines are necessary to
compensate it for any loss, cost or expense incurred by it as a result of (a)
any payment, repayment or conversion of a LIBOR Rate Loan on a date other than
the last day of an Interest Period for such LIBOR Rate Loan or (b) a LIBOR Rate
Loan for any reason not being made or converted, or any payment of principal
thereof or interest thereon not being made, on the date therefor determined in
accordance with the applicable provisions of this Agreement. At the election of
such Bank, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, but without
duplication, such compensation on account of losses may include an amount equal
to the excess of (i) the interest that would have been received from the
Borrower under this Agreement on any amounts to be reemployed during an Interest
Period or its remaining portion over (ii) the interest component of the return
that such Bank determines it could have obtained had it placed such amount on
deposit in the interbank Dollar market selected by it for a period equal to such
Interest Period or its remaining portion.
Section 7.05 Certain Determinations. In making the determinations
contemplated by Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03, and 7.04, each Bank may make such
estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that such Bank in good faith
determines to be appropriate, and such Bank's selection thereof in accordance
with this Section 7.05, and the determinations made by such Bank on the basis
thereof, shall be final, binding and conclusive upon the Borrower, except, in
the case of such determinations, for manifest errors in computation or
transmission. Each Bank shall furnish to the Borrower upon request a certificate
outlining in reasonable detail the computation of any amounts claimed by it
under Sections 7.01, 7.02, 7.03 and 7.04 and the assumptions underlying such
computations.
Section 7.06 Change of Lending Office. If an event occurs with
respect to a Lending Office of any Bank that obligates the Borrower to pay any
amount under Section 1.13, makes operable the provisions of clause (a)(iii) or
(iv) or clause (b) of Section 7.01, or entitles such Bank to make a claim under
Section 7.02 or 7.03, such Bank shall, if requested by the Borrower, use
reasonable efforts to designate another Lending Office or Offices the
designation of which will reduce the amount the Borrower is so obligated to pay,
eliminate such operability or reduce the amount such Bank is so entitled to
claim, provided that such designation would not, in the sole and absolute
discretion of such Bank, be disadvantageous to such Bank in any manner or
contrary to such Bank's policies. Each Bank may at any time and from time to
time change any Lending Office and shall give notice of any such change to the
Agent and the Borrower. Except in the case of a change in Lending Offices made
at the request of the Borrower, the designation of a new Lending Office by any
Bank shall not obligate the Borrower to pay any amount to such Bank under
Section 1.13, make operable the provisions of clause (a)(iii) or (iv) or clause
(b) of Section 7.01, or entitle such Bank to make a claim under Section 7.02 or
7.03 if such obligation,
31
<PAGE> 32
the operability of such clause or such claim results solely from such
designation and not from a subsequent Regulatory Change Enacted thereafter.
Section 7.07 Removal of a Bank. If a Bank makes a determination under
Section 7.01(a)(iii) or (iv) or asserts a claim under Sections 1.13, 7.02 or
7.03 and the Required Banks shall not have made similar determinations or filed
similar claims (whether or not in differing amounts) in respect of the same
event that was the basis for the determination or claims of such Bank, and so
long as no Default exists, the Agent, the Borrower and such Bank agree, if
requested by the Borrower, to attempt to locate a Person that will accept the
assignment of the Loans, the Commitment, and the other rights and obligations
hereunder of such Bank and if such Person is located and is acceptable to the
Agent, such Bank agrees to assign its interest in its Loans, Commitment and
other rights and obligations hereunder to such Person in accordance with Section
9.10, but only upon payment to it of an amount equal to the unpaid principal
amount of its Loans, together with interest thereon and fees accrued to the date
of payment and all other amounts then due and payable to it hereunder. If no
such Person is found, and so long as no Default exists, the Borrower may elect
to cancel the Commitments of such Bank and pay to such Bank all such amounts. If
Loans to be so assigned or paid include LIBOR Rate Loans, the assignment or
payment thereof shall occur on the last day of the then current Interest Period.
ARTICLE 8
THE AGENT
Section 8.01 Appointment and Powers. Each Bank hereby irrevocably
appoints and authorizes The Bank of New York, and The Bank of New York hereby
agrees, to act as the (a) agent for such Bank hereunder with such powers as are
delegated to the Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents, together with such
other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto and (b) the collateral agent
and representative (within the meaning of Section 9-105(m) of the Uniform
Commercial Code) for such Bank under the Security Agreement with such powers as
are delegated to the Collateral Agent by the terms of the Loan Documents
together with such other powers as are reasonably incidental thereto. The
Agent's duties shall be purely ministerial and it shall have no duties or
responsibilities except those expressly set forth in the Loan Documents. The
Agent shall not be required under any circumstances to take any action that, in
its judgment, (a) is contrary to any provision of the Loan Documents or
Applicable Law or (b) would expose it to any Liability or expense against which
it has not been indemnified to its satisfaction. The Agent shall not, by reason
of its serving as the Agent, be a trustee or other fiduciary for any Bank.
Section 8.02 Limitation on Agent's Liability. Neither the Agent nor
any of its directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable or
responsible for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under or
in connection with the Loan Documents, except for its or their own gross
negligence, willful misconduct or knowing violations of law. The Agent shall not
be responsible to any Bank for (a) any recitals, statements, representations or
warranties contained in the Loan Documents or in any certificate or other
document referred to or provided for in, or received by any of the Banks under,
the Loan Documents, (b) the validity, effectiveness
32
<PAGE> 33
or enforceability of the Loan Documents or any such certificate or other
document, (c) the value or sufficiency of the Collateral or (d) any failure by
the Borrower to perform any of its obligations under the Loan Documents. The
Agent shall be entitled to rely upon any certification, notice or other
communication (including any thereof by telephone, telex, telecopier, telegram
or cable) believed by it to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or
given by or on behalf of the proper Person or Persons, and upon advice and
statements of legal counsel, independent accountants and other experts selected
by the Agent. As to any matters not expressly provided for by the Loan
Documents, the Agent shall in all cases be fully protected in acting, or in
refraining from acting, under the Loan Documents in accordance with instructions
signed by the Required Banks or all Banks as may be so required, and such
instructions of the Required Banks and any action taken or failure to act
pursuant thereto shall be binding on all of the Banks.
Section 8.03 Defaults. The Agent shall not be deemed to have
knowledge of the occurrence of a Default (other than the non-payment to it of
principal of or interest on Loans or fees) unless the Agent has received notice
from a Bank or the Borrower specifying such Default and stating that such notice
is a "Notice of Default". In the event that the Agent receives such a notice of
the occurrence of a Default, it shall give prompt notice thereof to the Banks.
In the event of any Default, the Agent shall, in addition to taking either or
both of the actions referred to in clauses (a) and (b) of the first sentence of
Section 6.02 if so directed by the Required Banks and if such Default
constitutes an Event of Default, take such other action with respect to such
Default as shall be reasonably directed by the Required Banks. Unless and until
the Agent shall have received such directions, in the event of any Default, the
Agent may (but shall not be obligated to) take such action, or refrain from
taking such action, with respect to such Default as it shall deem advisable in
the best interests of the Banks.
Section 8.04 Rights as a Bank. The Person acting as the Agent that is
also a Bank shall, in its capacity as a Bank, have the same rights and powers
under the Loan Documents as any other Bank and may exercise the same as though
it were not acting as the Agent, and the term "Bank" or "Banks" shall include
such Person in its individual capacity. The Person acting as the Agent and its
Affiliates may (without having to account therefor to any Bank) accept deposits
from, lend money to and generally engage in any kind of banking, trust or other
business with the Borrower and its Affiliates as if it were not acting as the
Agent, and such Person and its Affiliates may accept fees and other
consideration from the Borrower and its Affiliates for services in connection
with the Loan Documents or otherwise without having to account for the same to
the Banks.
Section 8.05 Indemnification. The Banks agree to indemnify the Agent
and each Co-Agent (to the extent not reimbursed by the Borrower hereunder),
ratably on the basis of their respective Commitments, for any and all
Liabilities, losses, damages, penalties, actions, judgments, suits, costs,
expenses or disbursements of any kind and nature whatsoever that may be imposed
on, incurred by or asserted against the Agent or such Co-Agent (including the
costs and expenses that the Borrower is obligated to pay hereunder) in any way
relating to or arising out of the Loan Documents or any other documents
contemplated thereby or referred to therein or the transactions contemplated
thereby or the enforcement of any of the terms thereof or of any
33
<PAGE> 34
such other documents, provided that no Bank shall be liable for any of the
foregoing to the extent they arise from gross negligence, willful misconduct or
knowing violations of law by the Agent or such Co-Agent.
Section 8.06 Non-Reliance on Agent and Other Banks. Each Bank agrees
that it has made and will continue to make, independently and without reliance
on the Agent or any other Bank, and based on such documents and information as
it deems appropriate, its own credit analysis of the Borrower, its own
evaluation of the Collateral and its own decision to enter into the Loan
Documents and to take or refrain from taking any action in connection therewith.
Except for notices, reports and other documents and information expressly
required to be furnished to the Banks by the Agent under the Loan Documents, the
Agent shall not have any obligation to provide any Bank with any information
concerning the business, status or condition of the Borrower or any Subsidiary,
the Loan Documents or the Collateral that may come into the possession of the
Agent or any of its Affiliates.
Section 8.07 Execution of Security Agreement by Agent. Each Bank
hereby authorizes the Agent to execute, deliver and perform, in the name of and
on behalf of such Bank, the Security Agreement.
Section 8.08 Resignation and Removal of the Agent. (a) The Agent may
at any time give notice of its resignation to the Banks and the Borrower which
shall be effective upon the earlier of (i) the date a successor Agent shall have
accepted its appointment as Agent, and (ii) the 30th day after the giving of
such notice. Upon receipt of any such notice of resignation, the Required Banks
may, with the approval of the Borrower, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld, appoint a successor Agent. If no successor Agent shall have been so
appointed and have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the retiring
Agent's giving of notice of resignation, then the Borrower may appoint a
successor Agent which shall be one of the Banks other than the Bank that is the
retiring Agent.
(b) The Required Banks may agree to remove the Agent with or without
cause by giving notice to the Agent, provided, however, that such removal shall
not become effective until the Required Banks, after consultation with the
Borrower, shall have appointed a successor Agent that agrees to assume all of
the duties and obligations of the Agent under this Agreement and each of the
other Loan Documents and the appointment of such successor Agent does not cause
the Borrower to incur any additional expenses under the Loan Documents. If no
successor Agent shall have been so appointed by the Required Banks and shall
have accepted such appointment within 30 days after the Banks given notice to
the Agent, then the Agent being removed may, on behalf of the Required Banks and
after consultation with the Borrower, appoint a successor Agent.
(c) Upon the acceptance by any Person of its appointment as a
successor Agent, (i) such Person shall thereupon succeed to and become vested
with all the rights, powers, privileges and future duties and obligations of the
retiring or removed Agent and the retiring or removed Agent shall be discharged
from its future duties and obligations as Agent under the Loan Documents and
(ii) the retiring or removed Agent shall promptly transfer all Collateral within
its possession
34
<PAGE> 35
or control to the possession or control of the successor Agent and shall execute
and deliver such notices, instructions and assignments as may be necessary or
desirable to transfer the rights of the Agent with respect to the Collateral to
the successor Agent. After the resignation or removal of any Agent, the
provisions of this Article 8 shall continue in effect for its benefit in respect
of any actions taken or omitted to be taken by it while it was acting as the
Agent.

the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Agents and the Banks under the Loan

Section 9.06 Disclosures. The Agent, the Collateral Agent, the
Co-Agents and the Banks may disclose to, and exchange and discuss with, any
other Person (the Agent, the Collateral Agent, the Co-Agents, the Banks and each

condition of the Loan Documents may be amended, and any right under the Loan
Documents may be waived, if, but only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing
and is signed by (a) the Required Banks and, if the rights and duties of the
Agent or the Collateral Agent are affected thereby, by the Agent or the
Collateral Agent, as the case may be, and (b) in the case of an amendment, by
the Borrower; provided, however, that no amendment or waiver shall be effective,
unless in writing and signed by each Bank affected thereby, to the extent it (i)
changes the amount of such Bank's Commitment or increases the aggregate amount

reduces the principal of or the rate of interest on such Bank's Loans or Notes
or the fees payable to such Bank hereunder, (iii) postpones any date fixed for

foregoing definitions or (vi) amends Section 1.13, Section 1.14, Article 2,
Article 7, Section 9.02, Section 9.09, Section 9.10(a), this Section 9.07, any
other provision of this Agreement requiring the consent or other action of all
or a specified percentage of the Banks or Section 3 of the Security Agreement.
Unless otherwise specified in such waiver, a waiver of any right under the Loan
Documents shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific
purpose for which given. No election not to exercise, failure to exercise or
delay in exercising any right, nor any
39
<PAGE> 40
course of dealing or performance, shall operate as a waiver of any right of the
Agent or any Bank under the Loan Documents or Applicable Law, nor shall any
single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further
exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right of the Agent, the Collateral
Agent or any Bank under the Loan Documents or Applicable Law.
Each waiver or amendment given pursuant to this Section 9.07 shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose given.
Section 9.08 Set-Off; Suspension of Payment and Performance. The
Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Bank is hereby authorized by the Borrower,
at any time and from time to time, without notice, (a) during any Event of
Default, to set-off against, and to appropriate and apply to the payment of, the
Liabilities of the Borrower under the Loan Documents (whether owing to such
Person or to any other Person that is the Agent, the Collateral Agent or a Bank
and whether matured or unmatured, fixed or contingent or liquidated or
unliquidated) any and all Liabilities owing by such Person or any of its
Affiliates to the Borrower (whether payable in Dollars or any other currency,
whether matured or unmatured and, in the case of Liabilities that are deposits,
whether general or special, time or demand and however evidenced and whether
maintained at a branch or office located within or without the United States)
and (b) during any Default, to suspend the payment and performance of such
Liabilities owing by such Person or its Affiliates and, in the case of
Liabilities that are deposits, to return as unpaid for insufficient funds any
and all checks and other items drawn against such deposits.
Section 9.09 Sharing of Recoveries. Each Bank agrees that, if, for
any reason, including as a result of (a) the exercise of any right of
counterclaim, set-off, banker's lien or similar right (including its right under
Section 1.11(c)), (b) its claim in any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or
other similar law being deemed secured by a Debt owed by it to the Borrower,
including a claim deemed secured under Section 506 of the Bankruptcy Code, or
(c) the allocation of payments by the Agent or the Borrower in a manner contrary
to the provisions of Section 1.14, such Bank shall receive payment of a
proportion of the aggregate amount due and payable to it hereunder as principal
of or interest on the Loans or fees that is greater than the proportion received
by any other Bank in respect of the aggregate of such amounts due and payable to
such other Bank hereunder, then the Bank receiving such proportionately greater
payment shall purchase participations (which it shall be deemed to have done
simultaneously upon the receipt of such payment) in the rights of the other
Banks hereunder so that all such recoveries with respect to such amounts due and
payable hereunder (net of costs of collection) shall be pro rata; provided that
if all or part of such proportionately greater payment received by the
purchasing Bank is thereafter recovered by or on behalf of the Borrower from
such Bank, such purchases shall be rescinded and the purchase prices paid for
such participations shall be returned to such Bank to the extent of such
recovery, but without interest (unless the purchasing Bank is required to pay
interest on the amount recovered to the Person recovering such amount, in which
case the selling Bank shall be required to pay interest at a like rate). The
Borrower expressly consents to the foregoing arrangements and agrees that any
holder of a participation in any rights hereunder so purchased or acquired
pursuant to this Section 9.09 shall, with respect to such participation, be
entitled to all of the rights of a Bank under Sections 7.02, 7.04, 9.02 and 9.08
(subject to any condition imposed on a Bank hereunder with respect thereto) and
may
40
<PAGE> 41
exercise any and all rights of set-off with respect to such participation as
fully as though the Borrower were directly indebted to the holder of such
participation for Loans in the amount of such participation.
Section 9.10 Assignments and Participations. (a) Assignments. (i) The
Borrower may not assign any of its rights or obligations under the Loan
Documents without the prior written consent of the Agent, the Collateral Agent
and each Bank, and no assignment of any such obligation shall release the
Borrower therefrom unless the Agent, the Collateral Agent and each Bank shall
have consented to such release in a writing specifically referring to the
obligation from which the Borrower is to be released.
(ii) Each Bank may from time to time assign any or all of
its rights and future obligations under the Loan Documents to one or more
Persons; provided that, except in the case of the grant of a security interest
to a Federal Reserve Bank (which may be made without condition or restriction),
(A) no such assignment shall be effective unless (1) (aa) the assignment is
consented to by the Agent and, unless an Event of Default shall have occurred
and be continuing, the Borrower (which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld), and (bb) the Agent shall have been paid by the assignee, for its own
account, an administrative fee for processing such assignment in the amount of
$3,500, and (2) a Notice of Assignment with respect to the assignment, duly
executed by the assignor and the assignee, shall have been given to the Borrower
and the Agent, (B) no such assignment shall reduce the assignor Bank's aggregate
Commitment to (1) if such Bank's original aggregate Commitment is equal to or
greater than $10,000,000, less than $10,000,000 and (2) in the case such Bank's
original aggregate Commitment is equal to or less than $10,000,000, less than
50% of its original aggregate Commitment, (C) in the case of an assignment of a
Registered Note, such Registered Note shall have been surrendered for
registration of assignment duly endorsed by (or accompanied by a written
instrument of assignment duly executed by) the Registered Holder and such
assignment shall have been recorded on the Registers, and (D) any assignment
shall include a pro rata portion of the HFS Commitment, the HFI Commitment, the
Receivables Commitment, the HFS Loans, the HFI Loans and the Receivables Loans
of the assignor, unless otherwise consented to by the Borrower (such consent not
to be unreasonably withheld), except that subclauses (A)(1) and (B) of this
Section 9.10(a)(ii) shall not apply to an assignment by an assignor Bank to its
Affiliates. Upon any effective assignment, the assignee shall be obligated to
perform the obligations so assigned and shall have all of the rights of a Bank;
provided, however, that no assignee shall be entitled to any amounts that would
otherwise be payable to it with respect to its assignment under Section 1.13 or
7.02 unless (x) such amounts are payable in respect of Regulatory Changes
Enacted after the date the applicable assignment agreement was executed or (y)
such amounts would have been payable to the Bank that made such assignment if
such assignment had not been made. In the event of any effective assignment by a
Bank, the Borrower shall, against (except in the case of a partial assignment)
receipt of the existing Notes of the assignor Bank, issue new Notes to the
assignee Bank and the assignor Bank appropriately reflecting such assignment.
(b) Participations. Each Bank may from time to time sell or otherwise
grant participations in any or all of its rights and obligations under the Loan
Documents without the
41
<PAGE> 42
consent of the Borrower, the Agent, the Collateral Agent or any other Bank. In
the event of any such grant by a Bank of a participation, such Bank's
obligations under the Loan Documents to the other parties thereto shall remain
unchanged, such Bank shall remain solely responsible for the performance
thereof, and the Borrower, the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the other Banks
may continue to deal solely and directly with such Bank in connection with such
Bank's rights and obligations thereunder. The Bank may not grant to any holder
of a participation the right to require such Bank to take or omit to take any
action under the Loan Documents, except that a Bank may grant to any such holder
the right to require such holder's consent to (i) reduce the principal of or the
rate of interest on such Bank's Loans or the fees payable to such Bank
hereunder, (ii) postpone any date fixed for any payment of principal of or

CERTIFICATE OF NEGOTIATING OFFICER
Dated: July _, 1998
Resource Bancshares Mortgage Group, Inc. (the "Borrower") is today
entering into the Loan Documents to which the Borrower is a party, each dated as
of July __, 1998 with the banks listed on the signature pages thereof (the
"Banks"), The Bank of New York, as Agent (the "Agent") and as Collateral Agent
(the "Collateral Agent"), and the Co-Agents.
I am the [title] of the Borrower and the officer who was principally
involved in negotiating the Loan Documents.
I hereby confirm that I have read the Loan Documents and that I
understand that they require the Borrower to waive any rights it may have to
trial by jury and to claim any special, indirect and consequential damages. I
also confirm that I understand that the Loan Documents embody the entire
agreement among the Borrower, the Agent, the Collateral Agent and the Banks and
supersede all prior agreements, representations and understandings relating to
the subject matter thereof.
I further confirm that I have reviewed my understanding of the Loan
Documents with Messrs. __________ who have acted as lawyers for the Borrower in
the transaction.
I further confirm that I have reviewed the terms and provisions of
the Loan Documents with the Board of Directors of the Borrower and that, in
particular, I have called to their attention those provisions under and pursuant
to which (a) the Borrower waives its right to trial by jury and its right to
claim special, indirect and consequential damages and (b) the Loan Documents
embody the entire agreement among the Borrower, the Agent, the Collateral Agent
and the Banks relating to the subject matter thereof and supersede all prior
agreements, representations and understandings, if any, relating to the subject
matter thereof and may only be amended, or any of the terms or provisions
thereof waived, or any departures therefrom consented to, in a writing signed by
the Required Banks.
Finally, I confirm that in the course of negotiating the Loan
Documents I worked principally with Ms. Patricia Dominus and Mr. Torry Berntsen
and neither she, he nor any other representative of the Agent, the Co-Agents,
the Collateral Agent or any Bank, nor the lawyers for the Agent, the Co-Agents,
the Collateral Agent or any Bank, made any representations to me that are
inconsistent with the terms and provisions of the Loan Documents.

(a) RBMG or any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective businesses or
properties, (b) any Loan Document or (c) the Collateral, except actions, suits

possibility of having, either alone or in conjunction with all other such

any Loan Document or (c) the Collateral. If a fact or circumstance disclosed on
such Schedules or in such notes should in the future have a Materially Adverse
Effect on (x) RBMG, (y) any Loan Document or (z) the Collateral, such Materially
Adverse Effect shall be a change or event subject to Section 7 notwithstanding
such disclosure.

The ultimate decisions on medical care must be made by the Covered Person
and his or her Physician. Medical Management only determines the Medical
Necessity of a listed service or supply according to the Plan benefits and
provisions.
Approval by Medical Management does not guarantee that benefits are payable
under this Plan. Benefits are based on:
-- The Covered Services and Supplies actually performed or given.
-- The Covered Person's eligibility under this Plan on the date the Covered
Services and Supplies are performed or given.
-- Copayments, deductibles, coinsurance, maximum limits and all other terms
of this Plan.

When to Notify Medical Management
-- For inpatient confinement, the Covered Person must notify Medical
Management of the scheduled admission date at least 5 working days
before the start of the confinement. An admission date may not have been
set when the confinement was planned. The Covered Person must call
Medical Management again as soon as the admission date is set.
-- Pregnancy is subject to the following notification time periods:
-- Prenatal Programs - Medical Management should be notified during the
first trimester (12 weeks) of pregnancy. This early notification
makes it possible for the mother to participate in the prenatal
programs.
-- Inpatient Confinement for Delivery of Child -- Medical Management
must be notified only if the inpatient care for the mother or child
is expected to continue beyond:
-- 48 hours following a normal vaginal delivery, or
-- 96 hours following a cesarean section.
For inpatient care (for either the mother or child) which continues
beyond the 48/96 hour limits stated above, Medical Management must
be notified before the end of these time periods.
-- Non-Emergency Inpatient Confinement Without Delivery of Child--
Confinement during pregnancy but before the admission for delivery,
which is not Emergency Care, requires notification as a scheduled
confinement. Medical Management must be notified prior to the
scheduled admission.
-- For outpatient services which require notification, the Covered Person
must notify Medical Management at least five working days before the
service is given.
-- Organ/Tissue Transplants
A Covered Person must notify Medical Management at least seven working
days before the scheduled date of any of the following or as soon as
reasonably possible:

-- The organ procurement/tissue harvest.
-- The transplant.
Medical Management will then complete the Utilization Review. The Covered
Person, the Physician and the facility will be sent a letter confirming the
results of the Review.
Benefits Reduced if Medical Management Not Called
Benefits are reduced if the Covered Person does not call Medical Management
as required. This reduction is called a Non-Notification Deductible. A
Non-Notification Deductible applies to each confinement, surgical procedure,
or treatment plan.
The amount of the Non-Notification Deductible is shown in the Schedule of
Benefits. The amount of the Non-Notification Deductible will never be more
than the amount of the Covered Expenses.

If the Covered Person or the Physician does not agree with Medical
Management's decision, it can be appealed.
-- The Covered Person or the Physician can request Medical Management to
reconsider the decision by writing or telephoning within 60 days of the
decision.
-- If the Covered Person, the Physician and Medical Management still cannot
find an acceptable solution, this decision can be reappealed. Another
Physician will review the facts of the case -- taking into account the
Covered Person's and the attending Physician's point of view -- and make
a final decision.

call starts the Utilization Review process.
BHCM can be contacted by calling the toll-free number in the directory of
providers, or by calling Customer Service at the toll-free number shown on
the ID card.
Benefits under this Plan are subject to the Non-Notification Deductible if
BHCM is not called before services are received.
The amount of the Non-Notification Deductible is shown in the Schedule of
Benefits. The amount of the Non-Notification Deductible will never be more
than the amount of the Covered Expenses.
BHCM performs a Utilization Review to determine the Medical Necessity of
Covered Services and Supplies. No benefits are payable unless BHCM
determines the Covered Services and Supplies are Medically Necessary.

<PAGE> 14
Emergency Care
When Emergency Care is required for Mental Disorder Treatment, the Covered
Person (or representative or Physician) must call BHCM within one day after
the Emergency Care is given. BHCM is ready to take calls 7 days a week, 24
hours a day. If it is not reasonably possible to make this call within one

services are received.
Benefits are subject to the Non-Notification Deductible if BHCM is not
called as required above.

Benefits. The amount of the Non-Notification Deductible will never be more
than the amount of the Covered Expenses.

Claims Information
How to File a Claim

The following steps should be completed when submitting bills for payment:
-- Get a claim form from the Employer, the Plan Administrator or the
Company.
-- Complete the Employee portion of the form.
-- Have the provider complete the provider portion of the form.
-- Send the form and bills to the address shown on the form.
Make sure the bills and the form include the following information:
-- The Employee's name and social security number.
-- The Employees name and contract number (187129G).
-- The patient's name.
-- The diagnosis.
-- The date the services or supplies were incurred.
-- The specific services or supplies provided.
A bill or cash receipt for Prescription Drugs must also show the
prescription number and the name of the Physician who issued the
prescription.
If the covered Employee asks for a claim form but does not receive it within
15 days, the covered Employee can file a claim without it by sending the
bills with a letter, including all of the information listed above.
When Claims Must be Filed
The covered Employee must give the Company written proof of loss within 15
months after the date the expenses are incurred.
The Company will determine if enough information has been submitted to
enable proper consideration of the claim. If not, more information may be
requested.
No benefits are payable for claims submitted after the 15-month period,
unless it can be shown that:
-- It was not reasonably possible to submit the claim during the 15-month
period.
-- Written proof of loss was given to the Company as soon as was reasonably
possible.
35
<PAGE> 37
How and When Claims Are Paid
All payments will be paid to the covered Employee as soon as the Company
receives satisfactory proof of loss, except in the following cases:
-- If the covered Employee has financial responsibility under a court order
for a dependent's medical care, the Company will make payments directly
to the provider of care.
-- If the Company pays benefits directly to Network Providers.
-- If the covered Employee requests in writing that payments be made
directly to a provider. A covered Employee does this when completing the
claim form.
These payments will satisfy the Company's obligation to the extent of the
payment.
The Company will send an Explanation of Benefits (EOB) to the covered
Employee. The EOB will explain how the Company considered each of the
charges submitted for payment. If any claims are denied or denied in part,
the covered Employee will receive a written explanation.
Any benefits continued for Dependents after a covered Employee's death will
be paid to one of the following.
-- The surviving spouse.
-- A Dependent child who is not a minor, if there is no surviving spouse.

Legal Actions
The covered Employee may not sue on a claim before 60 days after proof of
loss has been given to the Company. The covered Employee may not sue after
three years from the time proof of loss is required, unless the law in the
area where the covered Employee lives allows for a longer period of time.
Incontestability of Coverage
This Plan cannot be declared invalid after it has been in force for two
years. It can be declared invalid due to nonpayment of premium.
No statement used by any person to get coverage can be used to declare
coverage invalid if the person has been covered under this Plan for two
years. In order to use a statement to deny coverage before the end of two
years, it must have been signed by the person. A copy of the signed
statement must be given to the person.
Review Procedure for Denied Claims
In cases where a claim for benefits payment is denied in whole or in part,
the claimant may appeal the denial. A request for review must be directed to
the Company within 90 days after the claim payment date or the date of the
notification of denial of benefits. When requesting a review, the claimant
should state the reason he or she believes the claim was improperly paid or
denied and submit any data or comments to support the claim.
A review of the denial will be made and the Company will provide the
claimant with a written response within 60 days of the date the Company
receives the claimant's request for review. If, because of extenuating
circumstances, the Company is unable to complete the review process within
60 days, the Company will notify the claimant of the delay within the 60 day
period and will provide a final written response to the request for review
within 120 days of the date the Company received the claimant's written
request for review.
If the denial is upheld, the Company's written response to the claimant will
cite the specific Plan provision(s) upon which the denial is based.

"Secondary Plan": Benefits under a plan that is Secondary may be reduced due
to benefits payable under Other Plans that are Primary.
"Allowable Expenses" means the necessary, reasonable and customary expense
for health care when the expense is covered in whole or in part under at
least one of the plans.
The difference between the cost of a private Hospital room and the cost of a
semi-private Hospital room is not considered an Allowable Expense unless the
patient's stay in a private Hospital room is Medically Necessary either in
terms of generally accepted medical practice, or as defined in the plan.
When a plan provides benefits in the form of services, instead of a cash
payment, the reasonable cash value of each service rendered will be
considered both an Allowable Expense and a benefit paid.
How Coordination Works
When this Plan is Primary, it pays its benefits as if the Secondary Plan or
Plans did not exist.
37
<PAGE> 39
When this Plan is a Secondary Plan, its benefits are reduced so that the
total benefits paid or provided by all plans during a Calendar Year are not
more than total Allowable Expenses. The amount by which this Plan's benefits
have been reduced shall be used by this Plan to pay Allowable Expenses not
otherwise paid, which were incurred during the Calendar Year by the person
for whom the claim is made. As each claim is submitted, this Plan determines
its obligation to pay for Allowable Expenses based on all claims which were
submitted up to that point in time during the Calendar Year.
The benefits of this Plan will only be reduced when the sum of the benefits
that would be payable for the Allowable Expenses under the Other Plans, in
the absence of provisions with a purpose like that of this Coordination of
Benefits provision, whether or not claim is made, exceeds those Allowable
Expenses in a Calendar Year.
When the benefits of this Plan are reduced as described above, each benefit
is reduced in proportion. It is then charged against any applicable benefit
limit of this Plan.
Which Plan Pays First
When two or more plans provide benefits for the same Covered Person, the
benefit payment will follow the following rules in this order
-- A plan with no coordination provision will pay its benefits before a
plan that has a coordination provision.
-- The benefits of the plan which covers the person other than as a
dependent are determined before those of the plan which covers the
person as a dependent.
-- The benefits of the plan covering the person as a dependent are
determined before those of the plan covering that person as other than a
dependent, if the person is also a Medicare beneficiary and both of the
following are true:
-- Medicare is secondary to the plan covering the person as a
dependent.
-- Medicare is primary to the plan covering the person as other than a
dependent (example, a retired employee).
-- When this Plan and another plan cover the same child as a dependent of
parents who are not separated or divorced, the benefits of the plan of
the parent whose birthday falls earlier in a year are determined before
those of the plan of the parent whose birthday falls later in that year.
This is called the "Birthday Rule." The year of birth is ignored.
If both parents have the same birthday, the benefits of the plan which
covered one parent longer are determined before those of the plan which
covered the other parent for a shorter period of time.
If the other plan does not have a birthday rule, but instead has a rule
based on the gender of the parent, and if, as a result, the plans do not
agree on the order of benefits, the rule in the other plan will
determine the order of benefits.
-- If two or more plans cover a person as a dependent child of divorced or
separated parents, benefits for the child are determined in this order:
-- First, the plan of the parent with custody for the child.
-- Second, the plan of the spouse of the parent with the custody of the
child.
-- Finally, the plan of the parent not having custody of the child.
38
<PAGE> 40
However, if the specific terms of a court decree state that one of
the parents is responsible for the health care expense of the child,
and the entity obligated to pay or provide the benefits of the plan
of that parent has actual knowledge of those terms, the benefits of
that plan are determined first. The plan of the other parent shall
be the Secondary Plan. This rule does not apply with respect to any
claim for which any benefits are actually paid or provided before
the entity has that actual knowledge.
-- If the specific terms of a court decree state that the parents shall
share joint custody, without stating that one of the parents is
responsible for the health care expenses of the child, the plans
covering the child shall follow the order of benefit determination
rules that apply to dependents of parents who are not separated or
divorced.
If none of the above rules determines the order of benefits, the benefits of
the plan which covered an employee, member or subscriber for the longer
period are determined before those of the plan which covered that person for
the shorter period.
Right to Exchange Information
In order to coordinate benefit payments, the Company needs certain
information. It may get needed facts from or give them to any other
organization or person. The Company need not tell, or get the consent of,
any person to do this.
A Covered Person must give the Company the information it asks for about
other plans. If the Covered Person cannot furnish all the information the
Company needs, the Company has the right to get this information from any
source. If any other organization or person needs information to apply its
coordination provision, the Company has the right to give that organization
or person such information. Information can be given or obtained without the
consent of any person to do this.
Facility of Payment
It is possible for benefits to be paid first under the wrong plan. The
Company may pay the plan or organization or person for the amount of
benefits that the Company determines it should have paid. That amount will
be treated as if it was paid under this Plan. The Company will not have to
pay that amount again.
Right of Recovery
The Company may pay benefits that should be paid by another plan or
organization or person. The Company may recover the amount paid from the
other plan or organization or person.
The Company may pay benefits that are in excess of what it should have paid.
The Company has the right to recover the excess payment.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Recovery Provisions
Refund of Overpayments
If the Company pays benefits for expenses incurred on account of a Covered
Person, that Covered Person or any other person or organization that was
paid must make a refund to the Company if:
-- All or some of the expenses were not paid by the Covered Person or did
not legally have to be paid by the Covered Person.
-- All or some of the payment made by the Company exceeded the benefit
under this Plan.
39
<PAGE> 41
The refund equals the amount the Company paid in excess of the amount it
should have paid under this Plan.
If the refund is due from another person or organization, the Covered Person
agrees to help the Company get the refund when requested.
If the Covered Person, or any other person or organization that was paid,
does not promptly refund the full amount, the Company may reduce the amount
of any future benefits that are payable under this Plan. The Company may
also reduce future benefits under any other group benefits plan administered
by the Company for the Employer. The reductions will equal the amount of the
required refund. The Company may have other rights in addition to the right
to reduce future benefits.
Subrogation
In the event a Covered Person suffers an injury as a result of a negligent
or wrongful act or omission of a liable third party, the Company has the
right to pursue subrogation where permitted by law.
The Company will be subrogated and succeed to the Covered Person's right
against a liable third party. The Company may use this right to the extent
of the benefits paid under this Plan.
The Covered Person agrees to help the Company use this right when requested.
If the Director or his designee, upon being petitioned by the Employee,
determines that the exercise of subrogation by the Company is inequitable
and commits an injustice to the Employee, subrogation is not allowed.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effect of Medicare and Government Plans
Medicare
When a Covered Person becomes eligible for Medicare, this Plan pays its
benefits in accordance with the Medicare Secondary Payer requirements of
federal law. If the Employer is subject to the Medicare Secondary Payer
requirements, this Plan will pay primary.
When This Plan Pays Primary to Medicare
This Plan pays primary to Medicare for Covered Persons who are Medicare
eligible if:
-- Eligibility for Medicare is due to age 65 and the employee has "current
employment status" with the employer as defined by federal law and
determined by the employer.
-- Eligibility for Medicare is due to disability and the employee has
"current employment status" with the employer as defined by federal law
and determined by the employer.
-- Eligibility for Medicare is due to end stage renal disease (ESRD) under
the conditions and for the time periods specified by federal law.
40
<PAGE> 42
When Medicare Pays Primary to this Plan
Medicare pays primary to this Plan for Covered Persons who are Medicare
eligible if:
-- The employee is a Retired Employee.
-- Eligibility is due to disability and the Employee does NOT have "current
employment status" with the employer as defined by federal law and
determined by the employer.
-- Eligibility for Medicare is due to end stage renal disease (ESRD), but
only after the conditions and/or time periods specified in federal law
cause Medicare to become primary.
See How this Plan Pays When Medicare is Primary.
Important! - Medicare Enrollment Requirements
When this Plan pays benefits first, without regard to Medicare, and the
Covered Person wants Medicare to pay after this Plan, the Covered Person
must enroll for Medicare Parts A and B. If the Covered Person does not
enroll for Medicare when he or she is first eligible, the Covered Person
must enroll during the special enrollment period which applies to that
person when the person stops being eligible under this Plan.
When Medicare pays benefits first, benefits available under Medicare are
deducted from the amounts payable under this Plan, whether or not the person
has enrolled for Medicare. If Medicare pays first, the Covered Person should
enroll for both Parts A and B of Medicare when that Covered Person is first
eligible; otherwise, the expenses may not be covered by the Plan or
Medicare.
How This Plan Pays When Medicare Is Primary
If Medicare pays benefits first, this Plan pays benefits as described below.
This method of payment only applies to Medicare eligibles. It does not apply
to any Covered Person unless that Covered Person becomes eligible under
Medicare.
If the provider has agreed to limit charges for services and supplies to the
charges allowed by Medicare (participating Physicians), this Plan determines
the amount of Covered Expenses based on the amount of charges allowed by
Medicare.
If the provider has not agreed to limit charges for services and supplies to
the charges allowed by Medicare (non-participating Physicians), this Plan
determines the amount of Covered Expenses based on the lesser of the
following:
-- The Reasonable Charges.
-- The amount of the Limiting Charge as defined by Medicare.
The amount of charges for Covered Expenses under this Plan is determined
first. Then the amount payable under Medicare for the same expenses is
subtracted from the amount of Covered Expenses. This Plan pays the
difference between the two amounts.
The amount payable under Medicare which is subtracted from this Plan's
benefits is determined as the amount that would have been payable to a
Medicare eligible covered under Medicare even if:
-- The person is not enrolled for Medicare Parts A and B. Benefits are
determined as if the person were covered under Medicare Parts A and B.
41
<PAGE> 43
-- The expenses are paid under another employer's group health plan which
is primary to Medicare. Benefits are determined as if benefits under
that other employer's plan did not exist.
-- The person is enrolled in a Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) or
Competitive Medical Plan (CMP) to receive Medicare benefits, and
receives unauthorized services (out-of-plan services not covered by the
HMO/CMP). Benefits are determined as if the services were authorized and
covered by the HMO/CMP.
Government Plans (other than Medicare and Medicaid)
If the Covered Person is also covered under a Government Plan, this Plan
does not cover any services or supplies to the extent that those services or
supplies, or benefits for them, are available to that Covered Person under
the Government Plan.
This provision does not apply to any Government Plan which by law requires
this Plan to pay primary.
A Government Plan is any plan, program, or coverage -- other than Medicare
or Medicaid -- which is established under the laws or regulations of any
government, or in which any government participates other than as an
employer.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Termination of Coverage
Employee Coverage
Employee coverage ends on the earliest of the following:
-- The day this Plan ends.
-- The last day of the month in which the person stops being an eligible
Employee.
-- The last day of a period for which contributions for the cost of
coverage have been made, if the contributions for the next period are
not made when due.
Disability
The Employer has the right to continue a person's employment and coverage
under this Plan during a period in which the person is away from work due to
disability. The period of continuation is determined by the Employer based
on the Employer's general practice for an Employee in the person's job
class.
Coverage ends on the date the Employer notifies the Company that the
person's employment has stopped and coverage is to be ended.
Dependent Coverage
Coverage for all of an Employee's Dependents ends on the earlier of the
following:
-- The day the Employee's coverage ends.
-- The last day of a period for which contributions for the cost of
Dependent coverage have been made, if the contributions for the next
period are not made when due.
42
<PAGE> 44
Coverage for an individual Dependent ends on the earlier of:
-- The day the Dependent becomes covered as an Employee under this Plan.
-- The last day of the month in which the Dependent stops being an eligible
Dependent.
Continuation of Coverage for Incapacitated Children
A mentally or physically incapacitated child's coverage will not end due to
age. It will continue as long as Dependents coverage under this Plan
continues and the child continues to meet the following conditions:
-- The child is incapacitated.
-- The child is not capable of self-support.
-- The child depends mainly on the Employee for support.
The Employee must give the Company proof that the child meets these
conditions when requested. The Company will not ask for proof more than once
a year.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Extended Benefits
There are extended benefits under Medical Benefits, Mental Health Benefits
and Pregnancy Benefits.
Extended benefits are payable for a Totally Disabled Covered Person for up
to 12 months. Extended benefits are only payable for Covered Services and
Supplies given during the 12-month period after the person's coverage ends.
The person must be continuously Totally Disabled due to the same cause from
the date coverage ends until the date Covered Services or Supplies are
given.
Extended benefits are only payable for Covered Services and Supplies given
for the accidental injury, Sickness, or pregnancy causing Total Disability.
- - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Conversion Coverage
If the covered Employee's group health coverage stops under this Plan, the
covered Employee may buy individual health insurance (called "Conversion
Coverage").
Proof of insurability will not have to be given. However, if the benefits
under Conversion Coverage are greater than those under this Plan, the
covered Employee and his or her covered Dependents will be asked to give
proof of insurability for the greater benefits.
43
<PAGE> 45
If the covered Employee has Dependents coverage when the group coverage
stops, the Conversion Coverage will be for the covered Employee and all
Covered Family Members on the day such coverage stops. The covered Employee
must apply for Conversion Coverage on the same basis as the coverage he or
she has under this Plan. The covered Employee cannot apply for single
Conversion Coverage unless he or she is enrolled for Employee Only coverage
under this Plan. A Dependent child over age 19 will be issued single
Conversion Coverage because only Dependent children under 19 are covered as
family members under Conversion Coverage.
An individual policy will be issued if the person converting is eligible and
lives in one of the following states:
Georgia Oregon
Maine Puerto Rico
Minnesota South Dakota
New Hampshire Vermont
New Mexico Virginia
New York
If the person converting lives in a state or jurisdiction of the United
States not listed above and is eligible, Conversion Coverage will be
provided through The Group Conversion Trust. The person will receive a
Certificate of Insurance instead of an individual policy.
See Conversion Coverage for Medicare Eligibles at the end of this provision
if the covered Employee or a covered Dependent is Medicare Eligible.
Conditions for Conversion
For Covered Employees
This Plan must be in force and the coverage has to stop for either of the
following reasons:
-- The person's employment ends.
-- The person is no longer an eligible Employee.
If a covered Employee's group health coverage stops because this Plan ends,
the covered Employee will not have the right to buy Conversion Coverage.
The person's Employer may continue coverage under this Plan when the person
becomes a Retired Employee. In this case, the person cannot buy Conversion
Coverage until the continued coverage stops.
For Covered Dependents
If the covered Employee dies, the covered Employee's wife or husband or any
guardian of the covered Employee's Dependent children may buy Conversion
Coverage for the covered Dependents.
44
<PAGE> 46
If the covered Employee's marriage is dissolved, the covered Employee's
former spouse may buy Conversion Coverage. This can happen at either of the
following times:
-- When the marriage is dissolved.
-- At the end of any period of continuation of coverage under this Plan,
but only if this Plan is in force on that date.
Any of a covered Employee's covered Dependents may buy Conversion Coverage
if one of the following is true:
-- The Dependent stops being eligible.
-- The Dependent is 19 or older when the covered Employee buys Conversion
Coverage. (Only Dependent children under 19 are covered under a covered
Employee's new family coverage.)
How to Apply
Application must be made within 31 days after the group coverage stops.
Get an application from the Company or the Employer.
The first premium must be paid before Conversion Coverage can be put in
force.
Conversion Coverage will be effective on the date that the group coverage
stops. In some cases a covered Employee can choose to continue group
coverage after employment ends. In some cases a covered Employee's
Dependents can choose to continue their group coverage after the covered
Employee's death. In these cases Conversion Coverage will go into effect
when the continued coverage stops but only if this Plan is in force on that
date.
If the covered Employee dies within the 31-day conversion period, the
covered Employee's wife or husband or any guardian of the covered Employee's
Dependents may apply for Conversion Coverage for those covered Dependents.
Limitations
Conversion Coverage may have greatly reduced benefits at a much higher cost.
In most cases, the benefits will be limited to Hospital and surgical
benefits only.
The benefit amounts for Conversion Coverage will be governed by the
following:
-- The rules of the Company.
-- The laws of the state or jurisdiction where the person lives when he or
she applies.
A copy of the individual policy or Certificate of Insurance is on file with
the state insurance authority, where required. A copy may also be obtained
from the Company.
The Company might limit the benefits of, or refuse to issue, Conversion
Coverage because the covered Employee or a Dependent has other health
coverage. Each person will be told the rules when they apply.
45
<PAGE> 47
Conversion Coverage for Medicare Eligibles
A Medicare Eligible who lives in one of the following states is not eligible
for Conversion Coverage:
Georgia Oregon
Maine Puerto Rico
Minnesota South Dakota
New Hampshire Vermont
New Mexico Virginia
New York
Conversion Coverage of a Medicare Eligible who lives in any other state or
jurisdiction of the United States (except Michigan) will be provided through
The Group Conversion Trust. Michigan residents will be covered under an
individual policy.

agreements set forth herein and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and the

intended that this Option qualify to the extent possible as an ISO. The Company

3. Exercise of Option.
(a) The Company agrees to allow the Optionee to exercise
the Option with respect to _____ of the Option Shares (such number of Option
Shares having been adjusted for all dividends since January ___, 1997), which is
the extent to which the Option was exercisable at the date of the termination of
the Optionee's employment (assuming requisite stockholder approval had been
received) at any time and from time to time during the Option Period, but not
thereafter, and not with respect to any additional Option Shares. In the event
the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Common Stock with respect to ISOs
exercisable for the first time by Optionee during any calendar year exceeds
$100,000, the Optionee shall give notice (as provided in Section 7(d)) of such
fact to the Company. The number of shares of Common Stock subject to this Option
and the per share exercise price under each outstanding Option shall be
adjusted, to the extent the Committee deems appropriate, as provided in Section
4.1(e) of the Plan. Sections 4.1(e), 4.1(f), 4.1(g) and 4.1(i) of the Plan are
incorporated in this Option Agreement by reference as if fully set forth herein.
(b) No less than 100 shares of Common Stock may be

price shall be payable in United States dollars, in cash (including by check) or

the Optionee for a period exceeding six months, or in a combination of cash and
such Common Stock. If all or any portion of the Option exercise price is paid in
Common Stock owned by the Optionee, then that stock shall be valued at its Fair
Market Value as of the date the Option is exercised. The Option shall be deemed
to be exercised on the date (the "Exercise Date") that the Company receives full
payment of the exercise price for the number of shares for which the Option is
being exercised.
(d) The Option shall be exercisable only by the Optionee
and shall not be assignable or transferable by the Optionee and no person shall
acquire any rights therein.
4. Release.
(a) The Optionee, on behalf of himself and his agents,
heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, hereby waives and releases
the Company and its agents, servants, directors, officers, employees,

notwithstanding, if, at any time specified herein for the issuance of Option
Shares, any law, regulation or requirement of any governmental authority having
jurisdiction in the premises shall require the Company or the Optionee, in the
judgment of the Company, to take any action in connection with the shares then
to be issued, then the issuance of such shares shall be deferred until such
action shall have been taken. Nothing in this Option Agreement shall be
construed to obligate the Company at any time to file or maintain the
effectiveness of a registration statement under the Securities Act, or under the
securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, or to take or cause to be
taken any action that may be necessary in order to provide an exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144 or any other
exemption with respect to the Option Shares or otherwise for resale or other
transfer by the Optionee as a result of the exercise of the Option evidenced by
this Option Agreement.

all claims that could possibly have existed under this Option Agreement or the
Plan or in connection with the Optionee's employment with the Company, except

Agreement shall not constitute an admission on any part of the parties hereto.
