(“Guarantor”) hereby agrees to make the acknowledgements set forth herein.

Therefore, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller that is a party to any Transaction under the Repurchase Agreement, and Buyer hereby agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Amendments to Repurchase Agreement.

(a) Section 2(a) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new definitions in correct alphabetical order:

Financing Fee” shall mean, with respect to any Transaction as of any date, the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of the Financing Fee Rate to the Repurchase Price (excluding Price Differential) for such Transaction (as adjusted from time to time by reductions in the Repurchase Price pursuant to the terms of this Agreement including Sections 3(e), 3(k), 4(b), 5(c)(iii), 5(d)(iii), 5(d)(v) and 5(e)(iv) and increases in the Repurchase Price pursuant to the terms of this Agreement including Sections 3(o) and/or Section 4(c)) on a 360-day-per-year


basis for the actual number of days during the period commencing on (and including) the Purchase Date for such Transaction (or, if later, the date of the Omnibus Amendment) and ending on (but excluding) the date of determination (reduced by any amount of such Financing Fee previously paid by Seller to Buyer with respect to such Transaction).

Financing Fee Cap” shall have the meaning specified in Section 3(r).

Financing Fee Rate” shall have the meaning specified in Section 3(r).

Omnibus Amendment” shall mean that certain Amendment No. 2 to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement and Omnibus Amendment to Confirmations, dated as of October 16, 2017, by and among Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller and Buyer.

(b) The definition of “Remittance Date” in Section 2(a) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by replacing the words “seventeeth (17th)” contained therein with the words “twenty-third (23rd)”. Accordingly, the next Remittance Date to occur from and after the date of this Amendment shall be October 23, 2017.

(c) Section 3(b)(viii) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the words “and the Financing Fee Rate applicable to the Transaction” following the word “Transaction”.

(d) Section 3 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following new Section 3(r):

(r) Without limiting the provisions hereof or of the other Transaction Documents, unless otherwise expressly set forth in a Confirmation with respect to a specific Purchased Loan, Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller that may be a party to a Transaction hereunder, and Buyer hereby agree that Seller shall be obligated to pay to Buyer, for each Transaction, a Financing Fee at a rate specified by Buyer in its sole and absolute discretion (for each Transaction, the “Financing Fee Rate”) as set forth in the Confirmation related to such Transaction, which Financing Fee Rate shall not exceed the cap specified in such Confirmation (the “Financing Fee Cap”). The accrued but unpaid Financing Fee with respect to a Purchased Loan shall be payable on each Remittance Date and, unless otherwise paid by Seller or its Affiliates, the accrued Financing Fees shall be remitted by Depository to Buyer (or to such other party as may be designated by Buyer in the relevant Confirmation) from the Cash Management Account on each Remittance Date pursuant to the provisions of Sections 5(c)(iv), 5(d)(iv) or 5(e)(iii), as applicable. For the avoidance of doubt: (i) if no Financing Fee Rate is specified in the applicable Confirmation, the amount of corresponding Financing Fee shall be zero, (ii) if a Financing Fee Rate is specified in the applicable Confirmation for a Transaction, it shall be expressed as a percentage or as basis points, and (iii) in no event shall Seller be obligated to pay Financing Fees in excess of the Financing Fee Cap with respect to any Transaction.


(e) Exhibit I to the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as set forth on Exhibit I attached hereto.

SECTION 3. Conditions Precedent. This Amendment and its provisions shall become effective on the date hereof provided that this Amendment is duly executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each of Master Seller, Buyer and Guarantor.

SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Master Seller, on behalf of itself and each Series Seller that is party to any Transaction under the Repurchase Agreement as of the date hereof, hereby represents and warrants to Buyer, as of the date hereof, that (i) it is in full compliance with all of the terms and provisions set forth in each Transaction Document to which it is a party on its part to be observed or performed, and (ii) no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing.

SECTION 5. Acknowledgments of Guarantor. Guarantor hereby acknowledges the execution and delivery of this Amendment by Master Seller and Buyer and agrees that it continues to be bound by the Guaranty notwithstanding the execution and delivery of this Amendment and the impact of the changes set forth herein.

SECTION 6. Limited Effect. Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, the Repurchase Agreement, the Confirmations amended hereby and each of the other Transaction Documents shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however, that upon the execution of this Amendment, each (x) reference therein and herein to the “Transaction Documents” shall be deemed to include, in any event, this Amendment, (y) each reference to the “Repurchase Agreement” or any “Confirmation” amended hereby in any of the Transaction Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Repurchase Agreement or such Confirmation, as applicable, as amended hereby, and (z) each reference in the Repurchase Agreement or any such Confirmation, as applicable, to “this Agreement”, this “Repurchase Agreement”, this “Confirmation”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar effect in referring to the Repurchase Agreement or any such Confirmation shall be deemed to be references to the Repurchase Agreement or such Confirmation, as applicable, as amended by this Amendment.


SECTION 7. No Novation, Effect of Agreement. The parties hereto have entered into this Amendment solely to amend the terms of the Repurchase Agreement and the applicable Confirmations amended hereby and do not intend this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby to be, and this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby shall not be construed to be, a novation of any of the obligations owing by Seller or any of its Affiliates (the “Repurchase Parties”) under or in connection with the Repurchase Agreement, the Confirmations or any of the other Transaction Documents. It is the intention of each of the parties hereto that (i) the perfection and priority of all security interests securing the payment of the Repurchase Obligations of the Repurchase Parties under the Repurchase Agreement are preserved, (ii) the liens and security interests granted under the Repurchase Agreement continue in full force and effect, and (iii) any reference to the Repurchase Agreement or the Confirmations amended hereby, as applicable, in any such Transaction Document shall be deemed to also reference the Repurchase Agreement or such Confirmations, as applicable, as amended by this Amendment.
