to-value in excess of 100% and/or a principal balance in
excess of $275,000, the greater of (i) the amount by which

the requirements set forth in this Agreement (including,
without limitation, the Mortgage, the Assignment of Mortgage
and the Mortgage Note endorsed in blank with respect to such
Construction Loan) and including any other documents
specifically requested by RFC with respect to such
Construction Loan; provided, however, that exclusively with
respect to the Construction Loans described in Exhibit C

the Construction Loan Files with respect to such
Construction Loans shall be held by the Sellers as custodian
for RFC and delivered, in whole or in part, to RFC or its

paragraph for paragraph (c):
(c) The Servicer also may, in its discretion and
without consent from RFC, grant an extension of maturity for
a term not to exceed six months when the loan is otherwise
performing as agreed and the construction process is
substantially complete or will be completed in 90 days or
less. The Servicer shall promptly notify RFC in writing of
any such extensions.
h. Section 6.05(c) shall be deleted in its entirety and the
following shall be substituted in lieu thereof:

particular Construction Loan if such Construction Loan has
not been repaid in full by the Borrower or Borrowers within
90 days of its stated due date or its modified due date for
loan maturities extended in accordance with paragraph
6.03(c); provided, however, that the Servicer, upon
receiving notice of such removal, shall have the right for 7
calendar days thereafter to repurchase the Construction Loan
from RFC for a price calculated in accordance with Section
2.06(c), but no such repurchase shall constitute a
