(f)Section 12.01 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Section 12.01 Effect of Benchmark Transition Event; Market Disruption.

(a)Benchmark Replacement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Repurchase Document, if a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date have occurred prior to the Reference Time in respect of any determination of the Benchmark on any date, the Benchmark Replacement will replace the then-current Benchmark for all purposes hereunder or under any Repurchase Document in respect of such determination on such date and all determinations on all subsequent dates. If in connection with Section 12.01(a) the Benchmark Replacement is determined in connection with a Benchmark Transition Event, such Benchmark Replacement will become effective as of the Reference Time on the applicable Benchmark Replacement Date without any amendment to, or further action or consent of any other party to, this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document. If in connection with Section 12.01(a) the Benchmark Replacement is determined in connection with an Early Opt-in Election, such Benchmark Replacement will become effective at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth (5th) Business Day after the date notice of such Benchmark Replacement is provided to Seller without any amendment to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document or further action or consent of Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document.

(b)Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes. In connection with a Benchmark Replacement, Buyer will have the right to make Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes from time to time and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any other Repurchase Document, any amendments implementing such Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes will become effective without any further action or consent of Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document.

(c)Notices; Standards for Decisions and Determinations. Buyer will promptly notify Seller of (i) any occurrence of a Benchmark Transition Event, or an Early Opt-in Election, as applicable, and its related Benchmark Replacement Date, (ii) the implementation of any Benchmark Replacement, (iii) the effectiveness of any Benchmark Replacement Conforming Changes and (iv) the removal or reinstatement of any tenor of Term SOFR pursuant to clause (d) below. In exercising its rights and remedies under this Section 12.01, Buyer shall treat Seller in a manner that is substantially similar to the manner it treats other similarly situated sellers in facilities with substantially similar assets. Any determination, decision or election that may be made by Buyer pursuant to this Section 12.01, including any determination with respect to a tenor, rate or adjustment or of the

occurrence or non-occurrence of an event, circumstance or date and any decision to take or refrain from taking any action or any selection, will be conclusive and binding absent manifest error and may be made in its sole discretion and without consent from Seller or any other party to this Agreement or any other Repurchase Document.

(d)Market Disruption. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if prior to any Pricing Period, Buyer determines that, by reason of circumstances affecting the relevant market (other than a Benchmark Transition Event or an Early Opt-in Election), adequate and reasonable means do not exist for ascertaining the then-current Benchmark for such Pricing Period, Buyer shall give prompt notice thereof to Seller, whereupon the Benchmark portion of the Pricing Rate for such Pricing Period, and for all subsequent Pricing Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by Buyer, shall be the Benchmark Replacement determined by Buyer pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement”. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing contained in this Section 12.01 shall be construed to eliminate, replace or otherwise affect the Pricing Margin portion of the Pricing Rate calculation, which Pricing Margin shall continue to apply and be calculated as part of the Pricing Rate regardless of the applicable Benchmark.”

(g)Section 12.02 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Section 12.02 Illegality. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirements of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof after the date hereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect or continue Transactions as contemplated by the Repurchase Documents, (a) any commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter into new Transactions shall be terminated and the Funding Expiration Date shall be deemed to have occurred, (b) the Pricing Rate shall be the Benchmark Replacement determined by Buyer pursuant to clause (c) of the definition of “Benchmark Replacement” on the last day of the then current Pricing Period or within such earlier period as may be required by Requirements of Law, and (c) if required by such adoption or change, the Facility Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred.”

(h)Section 12.03 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Section 12.03 Breakfunding. Upon demand of Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold Buyer harmless from any actual loss, cost or expense (including reasonable legal fees and expenses, but excluding any anticipated profit) which Buyer may sustain or incur arising from (a) the failure by Seller to terminate any Transaction after Seller has given a notice of termination pursuant to Section 3.05, (b) any payment to Buyer on account of the outstanding Repurchase Price, including a payment made pursuant to Section 3.05 but excluding a payment made pursuant to Section 5.02, on any day other than a Remittance Date (based on the

assumption that Buyer funded its commitment with respect to the Transaction in the London Interbank Eurodollar market and using any reasonable attribution or averaging methods that Buyer deems appropriate and practical), (c) any failure by Seller to sell Eligible Assets to Buyer after Seller has notified Buyer of a proposed Transaction and Buyer has agreed to purchase such Eligible Assets in accordance with this Agreement, or (d) any redetermination of the Pricing Rate based on a Benchmark Replacement for any reason on a day that is not the last day of the then current Pricing Period.”

(i)Section 17.01 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following paragraph before clause (a):

“Buyer is the owner of all Servicing Rights. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer shall have the right to hire or otherwise engage any Person (including Buyer) at Seller’s expense to service or sub-service all or part of the Purchased Assets; provided, however, that if Buyer decides that a Person other than Xxxxx is to act as Servicer, so long as no Default or Event of Default exists, any successor servicer selected by Buyer shall be subject to the consent of Seller (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and such Person shall have only such obligations with respect to such Purchased Assets as are designated by Buyer. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Buyer agrees with Seller as follows with respect to the servicing of the Purchased Assets:”
