Re:                             Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement - Temporary Warehousing Commitment Increase

Ladies and Gentlemen:

Reference is made to that certain Warehousing Credit and Security Agreement (as amended and in effect, and as supplemented, the “Credit Agreement”) dated as of September 4, 2012, by and among Walker & Dunlop, LLC (the “Borrower”) and Bank of America, N.A. as Credit Agent (the “Credit Agent”), and Bank of America, N.A., in its capacity as the sole lender as of the date hereof (the “Lender”).  Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the same meanings herein as in the Credit Agreement.

The Borrower has requested that the Lender temporarily increase (the “Temporary Increase Commitment”) the Warehousing Commitment Amount by $640,000,000 (the “Temporary Increase Amount”), and the Lender has agreed to so temporarily increase the Warehousing Commitment Amount, subject to, and on, the terms and conditions set forth herein.

Accordingly, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Borrower, the Credit Agent, and the Lender hereby agree as follows:

1.                                      Temporary Increase in Warehousing Commitment Amount.

(a)                                 Subject to and on the terms and conditions set forth in this agreement, for the period (the “Temporary Commitment Increase Period”) commencing on the date hereof (the “Temporary Commitment Increase Effective Date”) to, but not including, the Temporary Commitment Increase Termination Date (as defined in Section 1(b) below), the Warehousing Commitment Amount shall be increased by $640,000,000.

(b)                                 On the Temporary Commitment Increase Termination Date, automatically, without notice or demand, the Temporary Increase Commitment will terminate, and the Warehousing Commitment Amount shall be restored to the then amount of the Warehousing Commitment Amount determined pursuant to the provisions

of the Credit Agreement without taking into account the Temporary Increase Amount.  As used herein, the term “Temporary Commitment Increase Termination Date” means the earliest to occur of (i) 2:00 P.M. on December 6, 2012, (ii) the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (iii) the termination of the Warehousing Commitment pursuant to Section 10.2 of the Credit Agreement.

2.                                      Borrowings and Payments of Warehousing Advances.  Borrowings of the Temporary Increase Amount shall not be available to the Borrower unless and until all amounts under the existing Warehousing Commitment (without giving effect to the Temporary Increase Commitment) have first been funded.  Borrowings of the Temporary Increase Amount shall be subject to all applicable conditions for Warehousing Advances and other applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement.  For avoidance of doubt, all Warehousing Advances funded with the Temporary Increase Commitment shall accrue interest in accordance with the provisions of Section 3.1 of the Credit Agreement. In addition to the applicable provisions of this agreement, payments of amounts so borrowed shall be subject to all of the applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement for payments and prepayments of Warehousing Advances.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 3.3 of the Credit Agreement (Principal Payments), so long as any Warehousing Advances which have been funded under the Temporary Increase Commitment remain unpaid, any repayments of Warehousing Advances made by the Borrower during the Temporary Commitment Increase Period shall be accompanied by a written statement to the Credit Agent directing the Credit Agent to apply such principal payment in reduction of the then outstanding principal balance of the Loan under either (i) the Warehousing Commitment (without giving effect to the Temporary Increase Commitment), or (ii) the Temporary Increase Commitment.

3.                                      Temporary Increase Note.  To evidence the Temporary Increase Commitment, the Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender a promissory note, in the form provided by the Lender, in a face amount equal to the Temporary Increase Amount (the “Temporary Increase Note”).

4.                                      Payment Upon Temporary Commitment Increase Termination Date. By 2:00 P.M., Boston time, on the Temporary Commitment Increase Termination Date, the Borrower shall, without notice or demand, pay to Credit Agent, for the benefit of the Lender, that amount which is necessary to reduce the outstanding principal balance of the Loan to the maximum principal balance of the Loan then permitted to be outstanding under the Credit Agreement under all other applicable provisions of the Credit Agreement (none of which are being affected by this agreement), after giving effect to the termination of the Temporary Increase Commitment.  The failure of the Borrower to so comply with the foregoing provision shall constitute an immediate Event of Default without notice or demand by the Lender.

5.                                      Usage Fee; Lender’s Return. As consideration for the Lender’s agreement to temporarily increase the Warehousing Commitment Amount as provided herein, the Borrower shall pay to the Lender the following amounts, at the times specified, which amounts shall be deemed to be fully earned upon the Borrower’s execution of this agreement:

2

(a)                                 At the end of the Temporary Commitment Increase Period, Credit Agent will determine the average usage of the Temporary Increase Commitment during the Temporary Commitment Increase Period by calculating the arithmetic daily average of the outstanding Warehousing Advances which were funded pursuant to the Temporary Increase Amount during the Temporary Commitment Increase Period (“Used Portion”). Borrower agrees to pay to Credit Agent, for the benefit of the Lender, a fee (“Usage Fee”) in an amount of 0.20% per annum of the Used Portion during such Temporary Commitment Increase Period.  Borrower shall pay to the Credit Agent, for the benefit of the Lender, the Usage Fee within three (3) Business Days after the date of Credit Agent’s invoice.  Credit Agent’s determination of the Usage Fee is computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each month and a year of 360 days, and is conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.

(b)                                 At the end of the Temporary Commitment Increase Period, Credit Agent will calculate the amount of interest which accrued at the Applicable Margin, in accordance with the provisions of the Credit Agreement on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of all Warehousing Advances which were funded pursuant to the Temporary Increase Amount during the Temporary Commitment Increase Period (the “Accrued Interest”).  In the event the Accrued Interest is less than $1,000,000, the Credit Agent shall so notify the Borrower, and within three (3) Business Days after the date of the Credit Agent’s invoice therefor, the Borrower shall pay to the Credit Agent, for the benefit of the Lender, an amount equal to the $1,000,000 minus the Accrued Interest.

6.                                      Amendments to Credit Agreement.

(a)                                 The definition of “Outside Sell Down Date” which is set forth on Page 13-12 of the Credit Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety, and the following substituted in its stead:

““Outside Sell Down Date” means December 6, 2012.”

(b)                                 Without limiting the provisions of the Credit Agreement, including, without limitation, the provisions of Exhibit C (Eligible Loans and Other Assets),   the Borrower, the Credit Agent and the Lenders hereby acknowledge and agree that the following Mortgage Loans which are intended to be subject to Purchase Commitments may only be purchased by the following respective Investors:
