Forbearance as to Credit Agreement of Owens Mortgage Investment Fund

Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, a California Limited Partnership (“the Partnership”), has a line of credit agreement with a group of banks (“the Lenders”) that previously provided interim financing on mortgage loans invested in by the Partnership. All assets of the Partnership are pledged as security for the line of credit. The line of credit is guaranteed by Owens Financial Group, Inc., the General Partner of the Partnership. The line of credit matured by its terms on July 31, 2009. On October 13, 2009, a Modification to Credit Agreement (the “Modification”) was executed by the Partnership and the Lenders whereby the credit line is no longer available for further advances and the maturity date was extended to March 31, 2010. As of the date of this filing, the line of credit has matured and ha s not been repaid by the Partnership, the Partnership is current in interest payments, and the unpaid principal balance on the line of credit is approximately $19,566,000.

Commencing before the extended maturity date of the line of credit, the General Partner sought to negotiate with the Lenders to further extend its maturity until a date by which the Partnership would anticipate having sufficient funds to retire the entire outstanding credit line balance. As a result of the General Partner’s communications with the Lenders, on June 15, 2010, the Agent for the Lenders sent the Partnership a forbearance letter stating that the Partnership’s repayment obligations matured on March 31, 2010. The letter notified the Partnership of the Agent’s intention to forbear through June 30, 2010 in taking legal action on account of the Partnership’s failure to pay all principal and interest at maturity through that date, assuming that there is no further default under the credit agreement. On July 7 , 2010, the Agent for the Lenders sent the Partnership another forbearance letter stating that the Agent intends to further forbear through September 30, 2010 in taking any legal action on account of the Borrower’s failure to pay all principal and interest at maturity, assuming that there is no further default under the credit agreement.

The forbearance letter indicates that the Agent’s forbearance is conditioned on the Partnership’s delivery of the Partnership’s forecast regarding repayment of the credit line on or before September 30, 2010, and regular status updates regarding the Partnership’s refinancing and asset sale efforts.  However, the letter does not demand any actions by the Partnership regarding the outstanding line of credit balance.  The letter disclaims any waiver or modification of the Agent’s or the Lenders’ legal and contractual rights, and expressly reserves such rights.

The General Partner’s continuing intention is to cause the Partnership to retire the line of credit as soon as practicable, but there can be no assurance as to when this will occur.  If the Agent and the Lenders cease their forbearance and take action to collect the unpaid principal balance, whether in response to a default or otherwise, the Partnership may be required to negotiate with the Lenders regarding an extension.  If an acceptable extension is not obtained, the Partnership may be required to refinance its indebtedness with a different institution, potentially on unfavorable terms, or liquidate Partnership investments to repay outstanding borrowings, which may occur at reduced prices and result in losses to the Partnership.

The foregoing does not constitute any admission by the Partnership or its General Partner as to the existence of any defaults under the line of credit agreement.

RE:  Credit Agreement between Owens Mortgage Investment Fund, as Borrower, and California Bank & Trust, First Bank and City National Bank, as Lenders, dated August 31, 2001, as amended

Gentlemen:

We are writing on behalf of California Bank & Trust in its role as Agent under the above-mentioned Credit Agreement for itself, First Bank and City National Bank (Lenders”).  By this letter, we wish to again remind you that the obligations of the Borrower under this Credit Agreement, as amended, matured on March 31, 2010 and all principal and accrued interest on the Loans made under the Credit Agreement are now due and owing.

On June 15, 2010, we wrote to inform you of the Agent’s forbearance through June 30, 2010 in exercising remedies under the Credit Agreement.  Notwithstanding the maturity of the obligations and the elapse of the forbearance period, we are hereby notifying you that the Agent intends to further forbear through September 30, 2010 in taking any legal action on account of the Borrower’s failure to pay all principal and interest at maturity.  This new forbearance is conditional of the absence of any further default under the Credit Agreement, as amended, and subject to the Borrower’s compliance with the following conditions to the satisfaction of the Agent:

(1)           Borrower will provide a forecast to Agent of expected repayment amounts and timing from the refinance or sale of assets that will be sufficient to repay in full principal and interest owing on the Loans on or before September 30, 2010, and

(2)           Borrower to provide regular updates on the status of the refinancing/sales efforts.

Any forbearance or restraint by the Agent or Lenders in taking any action to which they are entitled under the Credit Agreement by virtue of the maturity of the obligations without full payment of the Loans should not be construed as a waiver of any rights afforded to the Agent or Lenders under the Credit Agreement or by law.  The Agent and Lenders reserve such rights.  Any waiver thereof shall require the signed, written consent of the Lenders.  Likewise, any modification of the Credit Agreement shall require the signed, written agreement of the Lenders.

Sincerely,

/s/ Stephen C. Bellicini
