RECITALS

The Administrative Agent, the Buyers and the Seller are parties to that certain Second Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Existing Repurchase Agreement”; as further amended by this Amendment, the “Repurchase Agreement”) and the related Amended and Restated Pricing Side Letter, dated as of August 26, 2016 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pricing Side Letter”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Existing Repurchase Agreement.

The Administrative Agent, the Buyers 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.

SECTION 1. Applicability. Section 1 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

From time to time the parties hereto may enter into transactions in which Seller agrees to transfer to a Buyer, or Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers, Mortgage Loans (as hereinafter defined) on a servicing released basis against the transfer of funds by such Buyer, or Administrative Agent on behalf of such Buyer, with a simultaneous agreement by such Buyer, or the Administrative Agent on behalf of such Buyer to transfer to Seller such Mortgage Loans on a servicing released basis at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds by Seller. This Agreement is a commitment by Committed Buyers and/or Administrative Agent on behalf of Committed Buyers to engage in the Transactions as set forth herein up to the Maximum Committed Purchase Price; provided, that Committed Buyers and Administrative Agent on behalf of Committed Buyers shall have no commitment to enter into any Transaction requested that would result in the aggregate Purchase Price of then-outstanding Transactions exceeding the Maximum Committed Purchase Price, and in no event

shall the aggregate Purchase Price of outstanding Transactions exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price at any time. Each such transaction shall be referred to herein as a “Transaction” and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall be governed by this Agreement, including any supplemental terms or conditions contained in any annexes identified herein, as applicable hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, and for administrative and tracking purposes, (a) the purchase and sale of each Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a separate Transaction and (b) with respect to each Designated Mortgage Loan, such Designated Mortgage Loan may, at Buyers’ option, be sold to different Buyers on a pro rata basis, such that one Buyer pays the Base Purchase Price and another Buyer pays the Incremental Purchase Price, in which case, the Administrative Agent shall own the Designated Mortgage Loan, for the benefit of the purchasing Buyers, on a pro rata, pari passu basis.

SECTION 2. Definitions. (a) Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Margin Call”, “Margin Deficit”, “Price Differential” and “Purchase Price” in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

“Purchase Price” means the price at which each Purchased Mortgage Loan is transferred by Seller to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of Buyers, which shall equal:

(i) on the Purchase Date, the Base Purchase Price plus, with respect to Designated Mortgage Loans, the Incremental Purchase Price, if any;

(ii) on any day after the Purchase Date, except where Buyers or Administrative Agent and the Seller agree otherwise, the amount determined under the immediately preceding clause (i) decreased by the amount of any cash transferred by the Seller to Administrative Agent or applied to reduce the Seller’s obligations under clause (ii) of Section 4(b) hereof or Section 6 hereof.

(b) Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following definitions of “Base Purchase Price”, “Designated Mortgage Loan”, “Designated Mortgage Loan Event”, “Disqualification Event”, “Incremental Purchase Price”, “LIBOR”, “Participant”, “Participation Agreement”, “Take-out Commitment” and “Take-out Price” in proper alphabetical order:

“Take-out Price” has the meaning assigned to such term in the Pricing Side Letter.

SECTION 3. Margin Maintenance. Section 6 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

a. If at any time the outstanding Purchase Price of any Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction is greater than the Asset Value of such Purchased Mortgage Loan subject to a Transaction (a “Mark-to-Market Margin Deficit”), then Administrative Agent may by notice to Seller require Seller to transfer to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers cash in an amount at least equal to the Mark-to-Market Margin Deficit (such requirement, a “Mark-to-Market Margin Call”).

b. Without duplication, if at any time a Designated Mortgage Loan Event has occurred, then Administrative Agent may by notice to Seller require Seller to transfer to Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers (a “Designated Mortgage Loan Margin Call”, together with a Mark-to-Market Margin Call, collectively, a “Margin Call”) cash in an amount to reduce the Purchase Price for all Designated Mortgage Loans for which a Designated Mortgage Loan Event has occurred to the Base Purchase Price for each such Designated Mortgage Loan (a “Designated Mortgage Loan Margin Deficit”, together with a Mark-to-Market Margin Deficit, collectively, a “Margin Deficit”).

c. Notice delivered pursuant to Section 6(a) or Section 6(b) may be given by any written or electronic means.

The failure of Buyers or Administrative Agent, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyers or Administrative Agent to do so at a later date. Seller, Buyers and Administrative Agent each agree that a failure or delay by Administrative Agent to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Administrative Agent’s or Buyers’ rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.

d. In the event that a Margin Deficit exists with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Buyers or Administrative Agent may retain any funds received by it to which the Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) shall be held by Administrative Agent against the related Margin Deficit and (ii) may be applied by Buyers or Administrative Agent against the Repurchase Price of any Purchased Mortgage Loan for which the related Margin Deficit remains otherwise unsatisfied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyers and the Administrative Agent retain the right, in their sole discretion, to make a Margin Call in accordance with the provisions of this Section 6.
