Buyer and Seller have previously entered into the Agreement pursuant to which Buyer may, from time to time, purchase certain mortgage loans from Seller and Seller agrees to sell certain mortgage loans to Buyer under a master repurchase facility. Buyer and Seller hereby agree that the Agreement shall be amended as more fully provided herein.

In consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Buyer and Seller hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Amendments. Effective as of June 18, 2014, the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

 

  (a) Section 6.2 is hereby amended by deleting 6.2(c) in its entirety and replacing it with the following (modified text underlined for review purposes):

If the interim servicing period expires with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan for any reason other than Seller repurchasing such Purchased Mortgage Loan, then such interim servicing period shall automatically terminate if not renewed by Buyer. In connection with any such renewal, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall continue to interim service the Purchased Mortgage Loan for a thirty (30) day extension period. Absent any such extension of the interim servicing period, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall transfer servicing of the Purchased Mortgage Loan (which shall include the delivery of all servicing records related to such Purchased Mortgage Loan) to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the interim servicing period (including the expiration of any extension period) with respect to any Purchased Mortgage Loan, Seller shall have no right to service the related Purchased Mortgage Loan nor shall Buyer have any obligation to extend the interim servicing period (or continue to extend the interim servicing period), it being understood that upon such expiration, Seller shall promptly transfer the servicing of the related Purchased Mortgage Loan to Buyer or its designee in accordance with the instructions of Buyer and any other applicable requirements of this Agreement.
