The Buyer, Seller and Guarantor are parties to (a) that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of January 24, 2014 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of March 17, 2014, the “Existing Repurchase Agreement”; as further amended by this Amendment, the “Repurchase Agreement”) and (b) that certain Pricing Letter, dated as of January 24, 2014 (as amended from time to time, the “Pricing Letter”). The Guarantor is a party to that certain Guaranty (as amended from time to time, the “Program Guaranty”), dated as of January 24, 2014, made by Guarantor in favor of the Buyer. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Existing Repurchase Agreement and the Program Guaranty, as applicable.

The Buyer, Seller and Guarantor have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement be amended to reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms of the Existing Repurchase Agreement. As a condition precedent to amending the Existing Repurchase Agreement, Buyer has required Guarantor to ratify and affirm the Program Guaranty on the date hereof.

Accordingly, the Buyer, Seller and Guarantor hereby agree, in consideration of the mutual promises and mutual obligations set forth herein, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

SECTION 1. Definitions. Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:

1.1 adding the following defined terms in their proper alphabetical order:

Approved Bailee” shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Custodial Agreement.

Escrow Instruction Letter” shall mean, with respect to a Table-Funded Asset, an instruction letter delivered to applicable title insurance company substantially in the form of Exhibit L hereto or as otherwise approved by Buyer in its sole good faith discretion.

Table-Funded Asset” for any point in time shall mean an Eligible Asset for which Seller delivered a Transaction Request and Confirmation pursuant to Section 3 hereof, but for which a complete Asset File was not delivered to Custodian prior to such time. For the avoidance of doubt, a Purchased Asset shall not be considered a Table-Funded Asset after the related Asset File is delivered to the Custodian and the Custodian has indicated receipt on a Trust Receipt.


1.2 deleting the definition of “Bailee Letter” in its entirety and replacing all references thereto with the defined term “Bailee Agreement”.

1.3 deleting the definition of “One-Month LIBOR” in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

One-Month LIBOR” shall mean, with respect to each Pricing Rate Period during which a Transaction is outstanding, the rate (calculated by Buyer, expressed as a percentage per annum and rounded upward, if necessary, to the next nearest one one-thousandth of 1%) for deposits in United States Dollars for a one-month period, which appears on Reuters ICE Libor Rates Page LIBOR01 (or such other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices) as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Pricing Rate Determination Date or Reset Date, as applicable. If such rate does not appear on Reuters ICE Libor Rates Page LIBOR01 (or such other page as may replace that page on that service for the purpose of displaying comparable rates or prices) as of 11:00 a.m., London time on the Pricing Rate Determination Date or Reset Date, as applicable, One-Month LIBOR for the next Pricing Rate Period and such Pricing Rate Determination Date or Reset Date, as applicable, shall be determined as follows. Buyer shall request the principal London office of any four (4) major reference banks in the London interbank market selected by Buyer to provide such reference bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in United States dollars for a one (1) month period as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on such Pricing Rate Determination Date or Reset Date, as applicable, in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at such time. If two (2) or more such offered quotations are so provided, One-Month LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two (2) such quotations are so provided, Buyer shall request any three (3) major banks in New York City selected by Buyer to provide such bank’s rate for loans in United States dollars to leading European banks for a one (1) month period as of approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the Pricing Rate Determination Date or Reset Date, as applicable, for deposits in a principal amount of not less than $1,000,000 that is representative for a single transaction in the relevant market at such time. If two (2) or more such rates are so provided, One-Month LIBOR shall be the arithmetic mean of such rates.
