(b) If at any time the aggregate Asset Values of Purchased Assets then subject to Transactions are less than the aggregate Purchase Prices (taking into account the application of any Buydown Availability pursuant to Section 9(f) hereof) for such Purchased Assets (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller (as such notice is more particularly set forth below, a “Margin Call”), require Seller to transfer to Buyer or its designee cash in the amount of the Margin Deficit.

SECTION 3. Servicing. Section 9 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (f) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(f) Buydown Amount. The Buydown Amount shall be held as unsegregated cash margin and collateral for all Obligations under this Agreement.

(i) Provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, upon one (1) Business Day’s prior notice (received on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time), no more than once per calendar week and to the extent the Buydown Utilization Threshold is met, the Seller may submit a written request in the form of Exhibit H hereto (a “Buydown Application Request”) requesting Buyer apply the Buydown Availability to new Transactions pursuant to the terms identified therein XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX To the extent that the Buydown Utilization Threshold is not met on any Buydown Determination Date, all Transactions entered into on the following Business Day and thereafter (until such time that the Buydown Utilization Threshold is met and Seller delivers a Buydown Application Request) shall be at the applicable Asset Value as set forth in the Pricing Letter without consideration of any prior Buydown Application Request.

(ii) During the requested period of time that the application of the Buydown Availability is effective (as identified in the Buydown Application Request), the Buyer shall apply the Buydown Availability from the Operating Account and shall allocate such amount to the outstanding Purchase Price of the Purchased Mortgage Loans that become subject to Transactions during such time to match the applicable Buydown Application Request. To the extent there are insufficient funds in the Operating Account, Seller shall wire such funds at least one (1) Business Day prior to the effective date of any Buydown Application Request.

(iii) Provided that no Default or Event of Default exists, upon two (2) Business Days’ prior notice, no more than once per calendar week and to the extent the Buyer previously applied the Buydown Availability pursuant to the terms hereof, the Seller may submit a Buydown Application Request, requesting that Buyer no longer apply such amounts to the outstanding Purchase Price of all Purchased Mortgage Loans. Upon the effective date thereof as set forth in the Buydown Availability Request, all Transactions shall revert to the applicable Asset Value as set forth in the Pricing Letter and Buyer shall return such previously applied amounts to the Operating Account.

(vi) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that a breach of a Concentration Limit, a Margin Call or other Default exists, the Buyer shall be entitled to use any or all of the Buydown Amount (which for the avoidance of doubt, shall include amounts of Buydown Availability applied to the outstanding Purchase Price of Purchased Mortgage Loans pursuant to the terms hereof) and to withdraw such amounts from the Operating Account or re-apply amounts previously applied to the outstanding Purchase Price in Buyer’s sole discretion to cure such circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to the Buyer without prior notice to, or consent from, Seller.

(vii) Regardless of whether a Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer also may withdraw interest paid to the Operating Account in its discretion from time to time, and without prior notice to or consent from the Seller, as a full or partial off-set to Seller’s obligation hereunder to pay the Price Differential.

(viii) Within two (2) Business Days’ receipt of written request from Seller, and provided no Margin Call or other Default exists, Buyer shall withdraw any portion of such Buydown Amount from the Operating Account and remit such amount back to Seller.
