The Seller has requested the Buyer to agree to amend the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement as set forth in this Amendment. The Buyer is willing to agree to such amendment, but only on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Amendment.

“Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price” means Forty Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($47,500,000.00).
2. The following new definition is hereby added to Section 1 (Definitions) of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement:
“Loan Data” means the data and documents required by Buyer as set forth in Exhibit II hereof. The data and documents may be updated and changed from time to time at Buyer’s sole discretion.
3. Section 3(a) of the Existing Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following:

Buyer will use reasonable efforts to accommodate any such request but shall have no liability if it is unable to complete the Transaction on such day. The Same Day Funding Fee shall only be payable if Buyer completes the Transaction on such day. Buyer shall have the obligation to enter into Transactions up to the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price.
In addition, Seller shall provide Buyer with credit information on the Mortgage Loan Obligor sufficient to enable Buyer to perform an independent credit analysis on Obligor, if Buyer decides to perform an independent credit analysis. If Seller submits a substantial quantity of Transactions, Buyer may use sampling techniques to independently verify credit information of the Obligor.
If Buyer agrees to purchase such Mortgage Loan, then no later than the Purchase Date Buyer shall reflect on its computer system the Mortgage Loan as purchased (the “Confirmation”).
The Buyer shall provide Seller with limited on-line access to Buyer’s computer system for the purpose of Seller submitting Purchase Requests and viewing Confirmations. Buyer shall provide Seller with instructions on how to access the computer system.
In the event Seller disagrees with any terms of the Confirmation, Seller shall immediately notify Buyer of such disagreement. An objection by Seller must state specifically that it is an objection, must specify the provision(s) being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that Seller believes they should be stated, and must be received by Buyer no more than one (1) Business Day after the Confirmation was received by Seller.
In connection with the sale of the Mortgage Loan to a Take-Out Investor, the Seller shall request the Buyer deliver to such Take-Out Investor the original Mortgage Note, and, in some cases, other documents contained in the Mortgage Loan file, along with a bailee letter instructing the Take-Out Investor to hold the original Mortgage Note and any other documents as bailee for the Buyer.
2
Prior to such delivery, Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of the sale agreement, trade confirmation or similar document with such Take-Out Investor or letter of good standing from the Take-Out Investor. As long as Seller meets the requirements contained in the prior two sentences, Buyer shall deliver such documents to the Take-Out Investor within one (1) Business Day of such request by Seller. The bailee letter shall instruct the Take-Out Investor to send the sale proceeds to the Buyer’s collection account. The Seller shall provide Buyer with a copy of the purchase advice from the Take-Out Investor and the Buyer shall match the purchase advice against the Repurchase Price due from Seller related to such Mortgage Loan. Any excess proceeds shall be transferred to the Seller’s maintenance account at the Buyer and any shortfall shall be transferred from the Seller’s maintenance account to the Buyer’s collection account. Upon receipt of the entire Repurchase Price, the Buyer’s interest in such Mortgage Loan shall be released. The bailee letter shall provide, in the event the Take-Out Investor does not purchase a Mortgage Loan within thirty (30) Business Days of receipt of the original Mortgage Note, the Take-Out Investor shall immediately return to the Buyer such Mortgage Note and other documents it received related to such Mortgage Loan.
