Exhibit 10.10
OMNIBUS AMENDMENT
OPTION ONE OWNER TRUST 2003-5
          This OMNIBUS AMENDMENT (the “Amendment”) dated as of October 30, 2007 is by and among Option One Owner Trust 2003-5 (the “Issuer”), Option One Mortgage Corporation (“OOMC”), in its capacity as loan originator (in such capacity, the “Loan Originator”) and as servicer (in such capacity, the “Servicer”), Option One Mortgage Capital Corporation (“Capital”), Option One Loan Warehouse LLC (formerly known as Option One Loan Warehouse Corporation) (the “Depositor”), Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. (successor-in-interest to Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, National Association), as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”), and Citigroup Global Markets Realty Corp. (the “Purchaser”).
PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS:
          A. The Issuer, OOMC, Capital, the Depositor and the Indenture Trustee are parties to that certain Amended and Restated Sale and Servicing Agreement dated as of November 12, 2004 (as amended and waived through the date hereof, the “Sale and Servicing Agreement”).
          B. The Issuer, the Depositor and the Purchaser are parties to that certain Note Purchase Agreement dated as of November 14, 2003 (as amended and waived through the date hereof, the “Note Purchase Agreement”).
          C. The Issuer and the Indenture Trustee are parties to that certain Indenture dated as of November 1, 2003 (as amended and waived through the date hereof, the “Indenture”).
          D. The parties hereto desire to amend the Sale and Servicing Agreement, the Indenture and the Note Purchase Agreement subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment.
          E. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Option One Owner Trust 2007-5A was terminated on September 28, 2007.
          F. Pursuant to Section 7.02(e) of the Sale and Servicing Agreement, entitled “Financial Covenants,” OOMC is required to maintain a minimum “Net Income” (defined and determined in accordance with GAAP) of at least $1 based on the total of the current quarter combined with the previous three quarters (the “Minimum Income Covenant”). Pursuant to the Basic Documents, OOMC periodically represents and warrants its compliance with the Minimum Income Covenant. In addition, under the Basic Documents, a failure by OOMC to satisfy the Minimum Income Covenant, if not waived, could be or become a Default, Event of Default or Servicing Event of Default, as those terms are used in the Basic Documents, or could result in a termination of the Revolving Period.
          C. OOMC now believes that the Minimum Income Covenant will not be satisfied as of the quarter ending October 31, 2007. The Issuer has requested that the Majority Noteholders temporarily waive the Minimum Income Covenant, and, subject to the terms hereof,

 


 

the Majority Noteholders have agreed to temporarily waive the Minimum Income Covenant on and subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
          NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

     (C) The waiver under this Section 6 shall continue to be effective until November 15, 2007 only so long as no Event of Default (other than the Minimum Income Covenant) has occurred. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default other than the Minimum Income Covenant, this Waiver shall immediately cease to be effective.
     (D) Each of the Issuer, OOMC (in its capacities as Servicer and Loan Originator), Capital and the Depositor hereby reaffirms all covenants, representations and warranties made by the Issuer, OOMC, Capital and the Depositor, as applicable, in the Sale and Servicing Agreement, to the extent the same are not modified hereby and agrees that all such covenants, representations and warranties shall be deemed to have been remade as of the effective date of this Amendment.
