The Buyer and the Seller have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement be amended to reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms of the Existing Repurchase Agreement.

Accordingly, the Buyer and the Seller hereby agree, in consideration of the mutual promises and mutual obligations set forth herein, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definition of “Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loan” in its proper alphabetical order:

Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loan” shall mean a FHA Loan, VA Loan or RD Loan (a) that previously was ninety (90) days or more delinquent; (b) that is not a Delinquent Mortgage Loan on or after the related Purchase Date; (c) whereby all past due payments are paid in full on and after the related Purchase Date; (d) that is not a Wet Loan; (e) that conforms to the requirements for Ginnie Mae securitization and (f) that is otherwise acceptable to Buyer in its sole discretion.

SECTION 2. Representations and Warranties. Schedule 1 to the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:

2.1 deleting paragraphs (b), (c), (e), (j) and (t) in their entirety and replacing them with the following:    

(b) Payments Current. No payment required under the Mortgage Loan is thirty (30) days or more delinquent nor has any payment under the Mortgage Loan (other than a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan or Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loan) been thirty (30) days or more delinquent at any time since the origination of the Mortgage Loan; and, if the Mortgage Loan is a Co-op Loan, no foreclosure action or private or public sale under the Uniform Commercial Code has ever to the knowledge of Seller, been threatened or commenced with respect to the Co-op Loan.


(c) Origination Date. Unless otherwise approved by Buyer and other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan or a Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loan, the initial Purchase Date is no more than (i) with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Correspondent Mortgage Loans in non-escrow states, [***] following the origination date of the Mortgage Note; (ii) with respect to Mortgage Loans other than Correspondent Mortgage Loans in escrow states, [***] following the origination date of the Mortgage Note and (iii) with respect to Correspondent Mortgage Loans, [***] following the origination date of the Mortgage Note.

(e) No Outstanding Charges. There are no defaults in complying with the terms of the Mortgage (other than a Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loan and solely with respect to defaults prior to the related Purchase Date), and all taxes, governmental assessments, insurance premiums, water, sewer and municipal charges, leasehold payments or ground rents which previously became due and owing have been paid, or an escrow of funds has been established in an amount sufficient to pay for every such item which remains unpaid and which has been assessed but is not yet due and payable. Other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan, Seller has not advanced funds, or induced, solicited or knowingly received any advance of funds by a party other than the Mortgagor, directly or indirectly, for the payment of any amount required under the Mortgage Loan, except for interest accruing from the date of the Mortgage Note or date of disbursement of the Mortgage Loan proceeds, whichever is earlier, to the day which precedes by one month the Due Date of the first installment of principal and interest.

(j) No Satisfaction of Mortgage. The Mortgage has not been satisfied, canceled, subordinated or rescinded, in whole or in part, and the Mortgaged Property has not been released from the lien of the Mortgage, in whole or in part, nor has any instrument been executed that would affect any such release, cancellation, subordination or rescission. Other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan or Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loans, Seller has not waived the performance by the Mortgagor of any action, if the Mortgagor’s failure to perform such action would cause the Mortgage Loan to be in default, nor has Seller waived any default resulting from any action or inaction by the Mortgagor.

(t) No Defaults. Other than payments due but not yet [***] or more delinquent, there is no default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration existing under the Mortgage or the Mortgage Note and no event which, with the passage of time or with notice and the expiration of any grace or cure period, would constitute a default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration, and neither Seller nor any of its affiliates nor any of their respective predecessors, have waived any default, breach, violation or event which would permit acceleration other than with respect to a Ginnie Mae Modified Loan in accordance with the Ginnie Mae guide and the Modification Agreement or a Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loan; and with respect to each Co-op Loan, there is no default in complying with the

terms of the Mortgage Note, the Assignment of Proprietary Lease and the Proprietary Lease and all maintenance charges and assessments permitted by the Agencies (including assessments payable in the future installments, which previously became due and owing) have been paid, and Seller has the right under the terms of the Mortgage Note, Assignment of Proprietary Lease and Recognition Agreement to pay any maintenance charges or assessments owed by the Mortgagor.

2.2 adding the following paragraph at the end thereof:

(cccc) Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Mortgage Loan. Each Ginnie Mae Re-Performing Loan (i) with respect to (x) a FHA Loan, is fully insured by the FHA pursuant to a FHA Mortgage Insurance Certificate; (y) a VA Loan, is guaranteed by the VA pursuant to a VA Loan Guaranty Agreement and (z) a RD Loan, is guaranteed by the RD pursuant to a RD Loan Guaranty Agreement and (iii) conforms to the requirements of Ginnie Mae for securitization.
