Section 2. Extension of Deadline for Effectiveness of Master Agreement. Paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Section 1.12 of the Master Agreement (entitled “Restriction on Requests; Settlement Agreement”) are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:
(a) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement and the First Restated Agreement, Borrower acknowledges that it shall not be permitted to exercise any rights or requests, including any Requests, under the First Restated Agreement for so long as any discount mortgage backed security is outstanding under the First Restated Agreement; provided however that (i) Borrower may request Lender’s consent to the exercise of any rights or requests, including any Request, under the First Restated Agreement, which Request shall be granted or denied at Lender’s sole and absolute discretion regardless of whether Lender’s consent to the exercise of such right or request is required under the First Restated Agreement, and (ii) the foregoing shall not prohibit or impact the normal day-to-day administration and servicing of the Credit Facility or requests made by Borrower relating to such day-to-day administration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lender and Xxxxxx Mae acknowledge that Xxxxxx Xxx has approved Borrower’s pending Expansion Request for $10,000,000 (the “Pending Request”) pursuant to Section 4.01 of the First Restated Agreement. Such approval shall remain effective until November 18, 2011, subject to there occurring no Material Adverse Effect prior to the rate lock of the Future Advance to be drawn from such increase in Commitment (the “Expansion Advance”).

The parties agree that Section 2 of the Settlement Agreement is hereby modified by this Section 1.12(b). Further, within five (5) Business Days
2
after the Effective Date, Borrower and Sun shall take all steps necessary to effect the dismissal in its entirety, with prejudice, the Complaint.
