SECTION 1.Applicability. Section 1 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

From time to time the parties hereto may enter into transactions in which Seller agrees to transfer to Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers certain Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, the related Contributed Assets) (as hereinafter defined) on a servicing released basis against the transfer of funds by Administrative Agent, with a simultaneous agreement by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to transfer to Seller such Purchased Assets on a servicing released basis at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds by Seller. Each such transaction shall be referred to herein as a “Transaction” and, unless otherwise agreed in writing, shall be governed by this Agreement, including any supplemental terms or conditions contained in any annexes identified herein, as applicable hereunder. For the avoidance of doubt, and for administrative and tracking purposes, (a) the purchase and sale of each Purchased Mortgage Loan shall be deemed a separate Transaction and (b) with respect to each Designated Mortgage Loan, such Designated Mortgage Loan may, at Buyers’ option, be

sold to different Buyers on a pro rata basis, such that one Buyer pays the Purchase Price-Base and other Buyers pay the Purchase Price-Incremental 1 and Purchase Price-Incremental 2, as applicable, and, in which case, the Administrative Agent shall own the Designated Mortgage Loan, for the benefit of the purchasing Buyers, on a pro rata, pari passu basis.

This Agreement is a commitment by Committed Buyer and/or Administrative Agent on behalf of Committed Buyer to engage in the Transactions the subject of which are Purchased Mortgage Loans up to the Maximum Committed Amount. In no event shall the Committed Buyer and/or Administrative Agent on behalf of Committed Buyer have any commitment to enter into any Transaction requested that would result in the aggregate Purchase Price of then-outstanding Transactions to exceed the Maximum Committed Amount.

Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller acknowledge they have and will enter into each Transaction hereunder, in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder and (ii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, in the event that (a) a Buyer is not an Affiliate of Administrative Agent, Alpine or CS Cayman (a “Non-Affiliate Buyer”), (b) an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing and (c) Administrative Agent provides written notice to the Seller to sever each Non-Affiliate Buyer’s Transactions (the “Non-Affiliate Transactions”) and treat such Non-Affiliate Transactions as separate Transactions under this Agreement (a “Severance Notice”), then Administrative Agent, Buyers and Seller acknowledge that each such Non-Affiliate Transaction shall be deemed a separate Transaction under a separate and distinct agreement with the same terms and conditions as set forth herein (each a “Non-Affiliate MRA”), and each such Non-Affiliate Buyer shall be deemed to be the administrative agent with respect to its respective Non-Affiliate Transactions under its respective Non-Affiliate MRA; provided, that Transactions owned by Administrative Agent, Alpine and CS Cayman or any respective Affiliate shall continue to be deemed a single Transaction with Administrative Agent serving as the administrative agent for Alpine, CS Cayman or any respective Affiliate, in each case, pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Each Seller Party also agrees to reimburse each Indemnified Party for all reasonable expenses in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement and the exercise of any right or remedy provided for herein, any Transaction Request and any Program Agreement, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel.

Following delivery of a Pool Subdivision Notice, the calculations with respect to Price Differential (and all of the component calculations used in determining such calculation) shall be calculated separately on the basis of the Purchased Mortgage Loans comprising each Pool, which shall result in a separate Price Differential for each Pool. For the avoidance of doubt, a Pool Subdivision Notice shall not (a) modify or otherwise affect the rights and obligations of the parties under the Program Agreements except as expressly contemplated in this Section 44; and (b) shall not be construed as a Severance Notice as contemplated by Section 19 of this Agreement.
