If the CDOR Screen Rate is not available, Buyer shall request the principal Toronto office of the CAD Reference Banks to provide the rate such bank is quoting as its discount rate for purchase of CA Dollar bankers’ acceptances in an amount not less than the Repurchase Price of the applicable Transaction for a one or three month period, as applicable, as of 10:00 a.m., Toronto time, on the related Pricing Rate Determination Date.

“(l) Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything herein or in the Fee Agreement to the contrary, (x) no Exit Fee shall be due and payable in connection with the early repurchase of a Purchased Loan if Seller repurchases such Purchased Loan within sixty (60) days after the Index Transition Date for the related Transaction, (y) if Buyer notifies Seller of its entitlement to additional amounts pursuant to Section 3(j) or 3(k), then provided Seller pays such additional amounts pursuant to Section 3(j) or 3(k), Seller may consummate an early repurchase of all of the Purchased Loans and terminate this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents without payment of the Exit Fee and (z) no Exit Fee shall be due and payable in connection with any reduction in outstanding Purchase Price or consummation of an early repurchase of a Purchased Loan in accordance with Section 4(a).”

(f) The following Section 11(k) shall be added to the Repurchase Agreement in its proper location, the word “or” shall be deleted at the end of Section 11(i) and the second Section 11(h) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following Section 11(j):

“(j) take any action that will cause its “centre of main interests” as such term is used in the Recast Insolvency Regulation) to be located in the United Kingdom or Europe or register as a company in any jurisdiction other than Delaware; or”
