Section 3. Amendments.

3.1 Definitions.

(a) Section 1.2 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Agency-eligible Non-owner Occupied Loan”, “Agency-eligible Non-Owner Occupied Loans Sublimit”, “Alt-A Agency Loan”, “Alt-A Non-Agency Loan”, “HELOC”, “HELOC Draw”, “JPM”, “Piggyback Loan”, “Second Lien Loan”, “Second Lien Loan/HELOC Sublimit” and “Unfunded HELOC Commitment”.

(b) Section 1.2 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding, in the appropriate alphabetical order, the following definitions of “Additional Covenant”, “Additional Pricing Term”, “MIP Mortgage Loan”, “MIP Mortgage Loan Sublimit” and “Syndication Agent”:

“Additional Covenant” means any affirmative or negative covenant, or other agreement, term or condition relating to the Seller or any Subsidiary, contained in any mortgage loan repurchase or warehouse loan transaction to which any of the Buyers is not a party and which is more restrictive on the Seller or such Subsidiary or more beneficial to the lender or buyer, as the case may be, under such agreement than the covenants, agreements, terms and conditions relating to the Seller and its Subsidiaries contained in this Agreement.

“Additional Pricing Term” means any pricing agreement, term or condition contained in any mortgage loan repurchase or warehouse loan transaction to which any of the Buyers is not a party and which is more favorable to the lender or the buyer, as the case may be, under such agreement than the pricing agreements, terms and conditions contained in this Agreement.

“MIP Mortgage Loan” means a first priority Single-family residential Mortgage Loan that (i) is (a) FHA insured, (b) VA guaranteed, (c) guaranteed or provided under the USDA Rural Development program or (d) is made in conjunction with a bond program and (ii) includes a mortgage insurance premium or other similar mortgage insurance obligations in the principal amount of such Mortgage Loan.

“MIP Mortgage Loan Sublimit” is defined in the table in Section 4.2.

“Syndication Agent” is defined above.

(c) The definitions of “Buyer”, “Buyers’ Margin Percentage”, “LIBOR Margin”, “LIBOR Rate”, “Liquidity”, “Permitted Encumbrances”, “Purchased Loans”, and “Termination Date” contained in Section 1.2 of the Repurchase Agreement are amended to read in their entireties as follows:

“Buyer” means each of U.S. Bank and such other Persons, if any, as from time to time with the consent of the other parties to this Agreement shall be a party to this Agreement as a buyer. Persons who are currently Buyers on any day shall be listed as Buyers in Schedule BC in effect for that day.

“Buyers’ Margin Percentage” means:

(i) for all Purchased Loans except Jumbo Mortgage Loans, MIP Mortgage Loans and Super Jumbo Mortgage Loans, ninety-eight percent (98%);

(ii) for Jumbo Mortgage Loans, ninety-five percent (95%);

(iii) for MIP Mortgage Loans, ninety-five percent (95%); and

(iv) for Super Jumbo Mortgage Loans, ninety-three percent (93%);

provided that Buyer’s Margin Percentage that is otherwise in effect from time to time will decrease by five (5) percentage points for each 15 day period a Purchased Loan remains part of an Open Transaction, beginning with the 60th day after the Purchase Date for such Purchased Loan. For purposes of clarity the following example applies: a Conforming Mortgage Loan with an initial Buyers’ Margin Percentage of 98% will on the 60th day, have a reduced Buyer’s Margin Percentage of 93% and on the 75th day will have a reduced Buyer’s Margin Percentage of 88%, and so on until it is no longer an Eligible Loan; and provided further, that if a Purchased Loan qualifies for more than one Buyer’s Margin Percentage, the lowest Buyer’s Margin Percentage shall apply.

“LIBOR Margin” means 2.25% (or, with respect to that portion of the aggregate Purchase Price of Purchased Loans that, as of any date of determination, exceeds $75,000,000, 3.00%).

“LIBOR Rate” on any Determination Date, the greater of (i) the average offered rate for deposits in United States dollars having a maturity of one month (rounded upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%) for delivery of such deposits on such Determination Date which appears on the Reuters Screen, LIBOR01 Page, or any successor thereto as of 11:00 a.m., London time (or such other time as of which such rate appears) on such date of determination, adjusted for any reserve requirement and any subsequent costs arising from a change in government regulation, or the rate for such deposits determined by the Administrative Agent at such time based on such other published service of general application as shall be selected by the Administrative Agent for such purpose; provided, that in lieu of determining the rate in the foregoing manner, the Administrative Agent may determine the rate based on rates at which United States dollar deposits having a maturity of one month are offered to the Administrative Agent in the interbank LIBOR market at such time for delivery in immediately available funds on such date of determination in an amount equal to $1,000,000 (round upward, if necessary, to the nearest 1/16 of 1%); or (ii) 1.50%.

“Liquidity” means as of any date of determination, (a) the Seller’s unencumbered and unrestricted cash and Cash Equivalents plus, (b) the sum of the unused revolving availability under this Agreement. For purposes of this definition and

as of any date of determination, the unused revolving availability shall be calculated as the amount by which the aggregate Purchase Value of all Purchased Mortgage Loans at the relevant date of determination exceeds the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price.

“Maximum Aggregate Commitment” means, as of any day, the maximum Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price that is allowed to be outstanding under this Agreement on such day, being the amount set forth in Schedule BC in effect for that day. If and when some or all of the Buyers then party to this Agreement agree in writing to increase their Committed Sums, or if a new Buyer or Buyers joins the syndicate of Buyers, or if there is both such an increase and a new Buyer’s joinder, the Administrative Agent shall execute an updated Schedule BC reflecting the new Maximum Aggregate Commitment and deliver it to the Seller and the Buyers, and that updated Schedule BC shall thereupon be substituted for and supersede the prior Schedule BC.

“Permitted Encumbrances” means, in respect of the Mortgaged Premises securing a Purchased Loan, (i) tax Liens for real property taxes and government-improvement assessments that are not delinquent; (ii) easements and restrictions that do not materially and adversely affect the title to or marketability of such Mortgaged Premises or prohibit or interfere with the use of such Mortgaged Premises as a one-to-four family residential dwelling; (iii) reservations as to oil, gas or mineral rights, provided such rights do not include the right to remove buildings or other material improvements on or near the surface of such Mortgaged Premises or to mine or drill on the surface thereof or otherwise enter the surface for purposes of mining, drilling or exploring for, or producing, transporting or otherwise handling oil, gas or other minerals of any kind; (iv) agreements for the installation, maintenance or repair of public utilities, provided such agreements do not create or evidence Liens on such Mortgaged Premises or authorize or permit any Person to file or acquire claims of Liens against such Mortgaged Premises; and (v) such other exceptions (if any) as are acceptable under relevant Agency guidelines; provided that any encumbrance that is not permitted pursuant to the standards of any relevant Investor Commitment by which the subject Purchased Loan is covered shall not be a Permitted Encumbrance.

“Purchased Loans” means the Eligible Loans sold by the Seller to the Buyers in Transactions, and any Eligible Loans substituted therefor in accordance with Section 11. The term “Purchased Loans” with respect to any Transaction at any time shall also include Additional Purchased Loans delivered pursuant to Section 6.1.

“Termination Date” means the earlier of (i) March 4, 2010, or (ii) the date (the “Commitments Cancellation Date”) when the Buyers’ Commitments are terminated pursuant to this Agreement, by order of any Governmental Authority or by operation of law.
