Administrative Agent at such time based on such other published service of general application as shall be selected by the Administrative Agent for such purpose; provided, that in lieu of determining the rate in the foregoing manner, the Administrative Agent may determine the rate based on rates at which United States dollar deposits having a maturity of one month are offered to the Administrative Agent in the interbank LIBOR market at such time for delivery in immediately available funds on such date of determination in an amount equal to $1,000,000 (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%).

(b) The following new definitions are added:

“Commitment Fee” is defined in Section 9.4.

Unused Portion” means, with respect to any applicable fiscal quarter of Seller, the amount, if any, by which (a) the Maximum Aggregate Commitment in effect during such period (if the Maximum Aggregate Commitment is increased or decreased during such period, then, for purposes of this calculation, the Maximum Aggregate Commitment shall be the average daily amount of the Maximum Aggregate Commitment during such period) exceeds (b) the average daily balance of the sum of the aggregate outstanding Purchase Prices in all Open Transactions during such period.

2.2 LIBOR Floor. Section 5.1 of the Repurchase Agreement is amended by deleting the proviso clause at the end thereof and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pricing Rate will not in any event be less than 2.75%.

2.3 Commitment Fee. The following new Section 9.4 is added to the Repurchase Agreement:

9.4. Commitment Fee. If the Unused Portion for any fiscal quarter of Seller is greater than sixty percent of the average daily amount of the Maximum Aggregate Commitment during such fiscal quarter, the Seller shall pay to the Administrative Agent (for Pro Rata distribution to the Buyers) a commitment fee (the “Commitment Fee”) on such Unused Portion at a rate of 0.25% per annum, computed on the actual number of days in that quarter using a year of 360 days. The Commitment Fee shall be payable quarterly in arrears on the 9th calendar day after the end of each fiscal quarter of Seller, commencing with the quarter ending December 31, 2011, and on the Termination Date, if any fee is owing. The Commitment Fee is compensation to the Buyers for committing to make funds available for revolving purchases of Eligible Loans on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and is not compensation for the use or forbearance or detention of money. Each calculation by the Administrative Agent of the amount of the Commitment Fee shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
