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

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

SECTION 2. Servicing Obligations of Seller. Section 6.2 of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsections (c) and (e)(i) in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

(c) Interim Servicing Period; No Servicing Fee or Income. For each Transaction, Seller’s or the Servicer’s, as applicable, right to interim service a Purchased Mortgage Loan shall commence on the related Purchase Date and shall automatically terminate without notice on the earlier of (i) thirty (30) days after the related Purchase Date or (ii) the Repurchase Date. If the interim servicing period expires with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing such Purchased Mortgage Loan, then such interim servicing period shall automatically terminate if not renewed by Buyer.

For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the interim servicing period (including the expiration of any extension period) with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall have no right to service the related Purchased Mortgage Loan nor shall Buyer have any obligation to extend the interim servicing period (or continue to extend the interim servicing period), it being understood that upon such expiration, Seller shall promptly transfer the servicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement.

If Buyer shall determine in good faith and in accordance with the provisions of the Master Netting Agreement, at any time that (x) the Asset Value of a Purchased Asset subject to a Transaction is less than the related Purchase Price for such Purchased Asset, (y) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to each Transaction is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transactions, or (z) the aggregate Asset Value of all Purchased Assets subject to all Transactions is less than the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price for such Transactions (in any such case, a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may, at its sole option and by written notice to Seller (as such written notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to either:

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall be entitled to set-off claims and apply property held by Buyer with respect to any Transaction against obligations and liabilities owed by Seller to Buyer with respect to any other Transaction. Buyer may set off cash, the proceeds of any liquidation of the Purchased Assets and all other sums or obligations owed by Buyer to Seller against all of Seller’s obligations to Buyer, whether under this Agreement, under a Transaction, or under any other agreement between the parties, or otherwise, whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to Buyer’s right to recover any deficiency. Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set-off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off and application.

In exercising the foregoing right to set-off, any Bank of America Related Entity shall be entitled to withdraw such deposits of money in the Over/Under Account which are being held for or owing to Seller to set-off against any amounts due and owing by Seller to the Bank of America Related Entity. If a Bank of

America Related Entity other than Buyer intends to exercise its right to set-off in this subsection (b), such Bank of America Related Entity shall provide Seller prior notice thereof, and upon Seller’s receipt of such notice, if the basis for such right to set-off is Seller’s breach or default of its obligations to the Bank of America Related Entity, Seller shall have three (3) Business Days to cure any such breach or default in order to avoid such set-off.

(f) Validity of Mortgage Documents. The Mortgage Loan is evidenced by instruments acceptable to FHA, VA, RD, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac or the Approved Investor, as applicable, given the type of Mortgage Loan. The Mortgage Loan Documents, Other Mortgage Loan Documents and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, in connection with a Mortgage Loan, and all signatures thereon, are genuine, and each such document is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the maker thereof enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as may be limited by bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights generally, and there are no rights of rescission, set-offs, counterclaims or other defenses with respect thereto. All parties to the Mortgage Loan Documents, Other Mortgage Loan Documents and any other agreement executed and delivered by a Mortgagor or guarantor, if applicable, had legal capacity to enter into the Mortgage Loan and to execute and deliver any such instrument or agreement and such instrument or agreement has been duly and properly executed by such related parties. Seller has reviewed all of the documents constituting the Mortgage Loan File and has made such inquiries as it deems necessary to make and confirm the accuracy of the representations set forth herein. To the best of Seller’s knowledge, except as disclosed to Buyer in writing, all tax identifications and property descriptions are legally sufficient; and tax segregation, where required, has been completed.

(i) Original Terms Unmodified. The terms of the Mortgage Note and Mortgage have not been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect from the date of origination, except by a written instrument which has been recorded, if necessary to protect the interests of Buyer, and which has been delivered to Custodian; provided, that none of the payment terms, interest rate, maturity date or other material terms have been impaired, waived, altered or modified in any respect. The substance of any such waiver, alteration or modification has been approved by the title insurer, to the extent required. No Mortgagor in respect of the Mortgage Loan has been released, in whole or in part, except in connection with an assumption agreement approved by the title insurer, to the extent required by such policy, and which assumption agreement is part of the Mortgage Loan File delivered to Custodian.

(n) Customary Provisions. The Mortgage Note has a stated maturity. The Mortgage contains customary and enforceable provisions such as to render the rights and remedies of the holder thereof adequate for the realization against the Mortgaged Property of the benefits of the security provided thereby. There is no homestead or other exemption or other right available to the Mortgagor or any other person, or restriction on Seller or any other person, including without limitation, any federal, state or local, law, ordinance, decree, regulation, guidance, attorney general action, or other pronouncement, whether temporary or permanent in nature, that would interfere with, restrict or delay,

The Mortgage Note and Mortgage are on forms acceptable to FHA, VA, RD, Freddie Mac or Fannie Mae.

(dd) Consolidation of Future Advances. Any future advances made to the Mortgagor prior to the Purchase Date have been consolidated with the outstanding principal amount secured by the Mortgage, and the secured principal amount, as consolidated, bears a single interest rate and single repayment term. The lien of the Mortgage securing the consolidated principal amount is expressly insured as having first lien priority by a title insurance policy, an endorsement to the policy insuring the mortgagee’s consolidated interest or by other title evidence acceptable to FHA, VA, RD, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The consolidated principal amount does not exceed the original principal amount of the Mortgage Loan.

(hh) Disclosure Materials. The Mortgagor has executed a statement to the effect that the Mortgagor has received all disclosure materials required by applicable law with respect to the making of adjustable rate mortgage loans, and Seller maintains such statement in the Mortgage Loan File.

(bbb) Government Mortgage Loans. With respect to each Government Mortgage Loan, (i) the FHA Mortgage Insurance Contract is in full force and effect, there exists no impairment to full recovery, and HUD is not entitled to be indemnified by the related mortgagee under FHA Mortgage Insurance and the VA Loan Guaranty Agreement or RD Loan Guaranty Agreement, as applicable, is in full force and effect to the maximum extent stated therein and there exists no impairment to full recovery pursuant to the terms of the applicable guaranty agreement, (ii) all necessary steps have been taken to keep such guaranty or insurance valid, binding and enforceable and each of such is the binding, valid and enforceable obligation of the FHA, the VA and the RD, respectively, to the full extent thereof, without surcharge, set-off or defense, (iii) such Government Mortgage Loan is insured, or eligible to be insured, pursuant to the National Housing Act or is guaranteed, or eligible to be guaranteed, under the provisions of Chapter 37 of Title 38 of the United States Code, as applicable, (iv) with respect to each FHA insurance certificate, VA guaranty certificate or RD loan request for guaranty, Seller has complied with applicable provisions of the insurance for guaranty contract and federal statutes and regulations, all premiums or other charges due in connection with such insurance or guarantee have been paid, there has been no act or omission which would or may invalidate any such insurance or guaranty, and the insurance or guaranty is, or when issued, will be, in full force and effect with respect to such Loan, (v) Seller has no knowledge of any defenses, counterclaims, or rights of setoff affecting such Government Mortgage Loan or affecting the validity or enforceability of any private mortgage insurance or FHA Mortgage Insurance, VA loan guaranty or RD loan guaranty with respect to such Government Mortgage Loan, and (vi) Seller has no knowledge of any circumstance which would cause such Government Mortgage Loan to be ineligible for FHA Mortgage Insurance, a VA loan guaranty or RD loan guaranty, as applicable, or cause FHA, VA or RD, as applicable, to deny or reject the related Mortgagor’s application for FHA Mortgage Insurance, a VA loan guaranty or RD loan guaranty, respectively.

I, [CFO], hereby certify that I am a duly elected Chief Financial Officer of Client and do further certify that the following are accurate, true and correct and may be relied upon by Bank of America, N.A. (“Bank of America”):

 

1.

Representations and Warranties: The representations and warranties made by Client under the Principal Agreements (as defined in the Master Repurchase Agreement by and between Bank of America and Client) are accurate and true on and as of the date hereof with the same effect as though such representations and warranties had been made on and as of the date hereof, including, without limitation, the following:

 

  (a)

Financial Condition. All financial statements of Client delivered to Bank of America fairly and accurately present the financial condition of the parties for whom such statements are submitted. The financial statements of Client have been prepared in accordance with GAAP consistently applied throughout the periods involved, and there are no contingent liabilities not disclosed thereby that would adversely affect the financial condition of Client. Since the close of the period covered by the latest financial statement delivered to Bank of America with respect to Client and as the date hereof, there has been no material adverse change in the assets, liabilities or financial condition of Client nor is Client aware of any facts that, with or without notice or lapse of time or both, would or could result in any such material adverse change. No event has occurred, including, without limitation, any litigation or administrative proceedings, and no condition exists or, to the knowledge of Client, is threatened, that (i) might render Client unable to perform its obligations under the Principal Agreements and all other documents contemplated thereby; (ii) would constitute a Potential Default or Event of Default; or (iii) might have a Material Adverse Effect with respect to Client.

 

  (b)

Seller Solvent; Fraudulent Conveyance. Seller does not intend to incur, or believe that it has incurred, debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature. Seller is not contemplating the commencement of insolvency, bankruptcy, liquidation or consolidation proceedings or the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee or similar official in respect of Seller or any of its assets. Seller is not transferring any Assets with any intent to hinder, delay or defraud any of its creditors.

 

2.

Compliance with Financial Covenants: Client is in full compliance with all of the financial covenants set forth in the Principal Agreements, and no Event of Default or Potential Default has occurred and is continuing.

 

3.

No Change in Executive Management: No change in the Executive Management has occurred.

 

4.

Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Change of Control: Seller has not, directly or indirectly, (a) wound up, liquidated or dissolved its affairs; (b) entered into any transaction of merger or consolidation with any Person; (c) conveyed, sold, leased or otherwise disposed of, or agreed to do any of the foregoing at any future time, all or substantially all of its property or


  assets; (d) formed or entered into any partnership, joint venture, syndicate or other combination which could have a Material Adverse Effect; or (e) allowed a Change of Control to occur with respect to Seller, without prior written consent of Buyer; unless otherwise permitted pursuant to the terms of the Principal Agreements.

 

5.

[Reserved]

 

6.

Loans to Officers, Employees and Shareholders: Seller has not, either directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of Buyer, made any personal loans or advances to any officers, employees, shareholders, members, partners or owners of Seller in an aggregate amount exceeding [***] of Seller’s Tangible Net Worth; provided, however, that Seller shall be entitled to make a personal loan or advance to a majority shareholder, member, partner or owner of Seller without the prior written consent of Buyer provided that (i) a Potential Default or an Event of Default is not existing and will not occur as a result thereof and (ii) such loan or advance is clearly reflected on Seller’s financial reports provided to Buyer.
