WHEREAS, Bull Street is a real estate investment trust that intends to invest in, among other things, Mortgage Loans; and
WHEREAS, Consolidated Mortgage and Bull Street wish to enter into a strategic alliance regarding the origination and servicing of Mortgage Loans by Consolidated Mortgage and the purchasing of Mortgage Loans by Bull Street.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and of the mutual premises hereinafter expressed, the parties hereto do mutually agree as follows:
ARTICLE I. SCOPE OF STRATEGIC ALLIANCE.
A. Consolidated Mortgage shall continue to originate Mortgage Loans in accordance with its historical practices. Commencing as of ________, 2004, on a monthly basis, Bull Street shall provide Consolidated Mortgage with one or more pricing sheets ("Pricing Sheets") in which Bull Street shall provide loan parameters (including loan to value ratio, credit scores and other criteria) applicable to Mortgage Loans and the applicable pricing for such Mortgage Loans. Consolidated Mortgage agrees and acknowledges that as to any and all Mortgage Loans originated by Consolidated Mortgage or its affiliates and serviced by Consolidated Mortgage that are within the parameters set forth in the applicable Pricing Sheets, Bull Street shall have a right of first refusal to purchase such Mortgage Loans as set forth herein.
B. On a regular basis (but no less frequently than monthly), Consolidated Mortgage shall send a written report (a "Mortgage Loan Report") to Bull Street setting forth in reasonable detail all Mortgage Loans within the parameters set forth in the applicable Pricing Sheets. No later than ___ days following its receipt of a Mortgage Loan Report (the "Initial Election Period"), Bull Street shall send written notice to Consolidated Mortgage specifying the Mortgage Loans set forth in the Mortgage Loan Report that Bull Street is interested in purchasing all or a portion thereof (a "Preliminary Purchase Notice"). The Preliminary Purchase Notice shall constitute an offer by Bull Street to purchase the Mortgage Loans set forth therein at the price set forth in the applicable Pricing Sheets and upon the terms set forth herein. If Bull Street fails to deliver a Preliminary Purchase Notice to Consolidated Mortgage prior to the expiration of the Initial Election Period, then Consolidated Mortgage may sell the Mortgage Loans set forth in the applicable Mortgage Loan Report to one or more third parties without regard to this Agreement.
C. No later than two Business Days after its receipt of a Preliminary Purchase Notice (the "Election Period"), Consolidated Mortgage shall elect to sell the Mortgage Loans described in the Preliminary Purchase Notice for the purchase price set forth in the applicable Pricing Sheets (a "Sale Election") or elect to offer the Mortgage Loans to Bull Street at a higher price than set forth in the applicable Pricing Sheets (a "Repricing Election"). Consolidated Mortgage shall make a Sale Election or a Repricing Election by delivery of written notice to Bull Street during the Election Period. If Consolidated Mortgage fails to deliver such written notice to Bull Street prior to the expiration of the Election Period, then Consolidated Mortgage shall be deemed to have made a Sale Election with regard to all of the Mortgage Loans set forth in the Preliminary Purchase Notice. For purposes hereof "Business Day" means any day other than Saturday or Sunday or other day on which national banks in Las Vegas, Nevada are required or permitted by applicable law to close.
D. Bull Street may, by delivery of written notice to Consolidated Mortgage on or before the expiration of two Business Days after receipt by Bull Street of the Repricing Election (the "Repricing Election Period"), elect to purchase all or any portion of the Mortgage Loans originally set forth in the Preliminary Purchase Notice at the price set forth in the Repricing Election. If Bull Street fails to deliver such written notice prior to the expiration of the Repricing Election Period, then Bull Street shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase the Mortgage Loans that are subject to such Repricing Election. As to any Mortgage Loans that are subject to a Repricing Election that Bull Street does not elect to purchase hereunder (collectively, "Market Mortgage Loans"), Consolidated Mortgage may, after expiration of the Repricing Election Period (or, if sooner, receipt of written notice from Bull Street that it shall not purchase such Market Mortgage Loans), market and sell such Market Mortgage Loans to one or more third parties at the price set forth in the applicable Repricing Election; provided, however, that if Consolidated Mortgage proposes to sell any Market Mortgage to any third party purchaser at a price that is less than the price set forth in the applicable Repricing Election (or upon terms more favorable than originally offered to Bull Street), it shall first offer such Market Mortgage Loan to Bull Street again at such reduced price or upon such more favorable terms (each a "Re-Offered Mortgage") by delivery of written notice to Bull Street (a "Re-Offer Notice"). Bull Street shall have two Business Days following its receipt of a Re-Offer Notice (the "Re-Offer Period") to elect to purchase one or more Re-Offered Mortgages by delivery of written notice to Consolidated Mortgage (a "Re-Offer Purchase Notice"). If Bull Street fails to deliver a Re-Offer Purchase Notice prior to the expiration of the Re-Offer Period, then Bull Street shall be deemed to have elected not to purchase such Re-Offered Mortgages as of the last day of the Re-Offer Period. As to any Re-Offered Mortgages that Bull Street does not elect to purchase hereunder, Consolidated Mortgage may, after expiration of the Re-Offer Period (or, if sooner, receipt of written notice from Bull Street that is shall not purchase such Re-Offered Mortgages) sell such Re-Offered Mortgages to one or more third party purchasers at the price set forth in the Re-Offer Notice; provided, that if Consolidated Mortgage proposes to sell any Re-Offered Mortgage to any third party purchaser at a price that is less than the price set forth in the Re-Offer Notice (or upon terms more favorable than originally offered to Bull Street), it shall offer such Re-Offered Mortgage to Bull Street again in accordance with the procedures set forth herein with regard to Re-Offered Mortgages.
