and affirm the Guaranty on the date hereof.
Accordingly, the Buyer, Sellers and Guarantor hereby agree, in
consideration of the mutual premises and mutual obligations set forth herein,
that the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
Section 1. Definitions. Section 1 of the Existing Repurchase
Agreement is hereby amended by:
1.1 adding the following definitions in their proper
alphabetical order:
""Aged Loan" means a Mortgage Loan which has been subject to a
Transaction hereunder for a period of greater than 120 days but not greater than
180 days."
""Buydown Amount" has the meaning set forth in Section 5(c)
hereof."
""Forty-Year Mortgage Loan" shall mean a fully amortizing
Mortgage Loan which has an original term to maturity of not more than forty
years from the origination date."
""OFAC" has the meaning set forth in Section 14(a)(28) hereof."
""Original Seller" means New Century Mortgage Corporation, NC
Capital Corporation, NC Asset Holding, L.P., New Century Credit Corporation,

permitted successors and assigns."
""Prohibited Person" has the meaning set forth in Section
14(a)(28) hereof."
1.2 deleting the definition of "Mortgage Loan" in its entirety
and replacing it with the following language:
""Mortgage Loan" means any Forty-Year Mortgage Loan, Co-op Loan,
Sub-Prime Mortgage Loan, Exception Mortgage Loan, Jumbo Mortgage Loan, Alt A
Mortgage Loan, Second Lien Mortgage Loan, HELOC or Conforming Mortgage Loan
which is a fixed or floating-rate, one-to-four-family residential mortgage or
home equity loan evidenced by a promissory note and secured by a mortgage, which
satisfies the requirements set forth in the Underwriting Guidelines and Section
14(b) hereof; provided, however, that, except as expressly approved in writing
by Buyer, Mortgage Loans shall not include any "high-LTV" loans (i.e., a
mortgage loan having a loan-to-value ratio in excess of 100% (or with respect to
High CLTV Mortgage Loans, 105%) or in excess of such lower percentage set forth
in the Underwriting Guidelines or with respect to Second Lien Mortgage Loans, a
combined loan-to value ratio in excess of the lower of (i) the percentage
specified in the Underwriting Guidelines or (ii) 100% or, with respect to High
CLTV Mortgage Loans, 105%) or any High Cost Mortgage Loans and; provided,
further, that the origination date with respect to such Mortgage Loan is no
earlier than thirty (30) days prior to the related Purchase Date."
Section 2. Price Differential. Section 5 of the Existing
Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following subsection (c)

collateral for all Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement (such amount, to
the extent not applied to Obligations under the Repurchase Agreement, the
"Buydown Amount"). The Buydown Amount shall be used by Buyer in order to
calculate the Price Differential, which will accrue on the Purchase Price then
outstanding minus the Buydown Amount, applied to Transactions involving the
lowest Pricing Rate. The Sellers shall be entitled to request a drawdown of the
Buydown Amount or remit additional funds to be added to the Buydown Amount in
increments of $100,000 no more than one time per week with forty-eight (48)
hours notice. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event
that a Margin Call or other Default exists, the Buyer

circumstance or otherwise exercise remedies available to the Buyer without prior
notice to, or consent from, the Sellers."
Section 3. Security Interest. Section 9 of the Existing
Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and

foregoing and any other property, rights, title or interests as are specified on
a Transaction Request and/or Trust Receipt and Certification, in all instances,
whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or hereafter created
(collectively, the "Repurchase Assets"). Sellers agree to execute, deliver
and/or file such documents and perform such acts as may be reasonably necessary
to fully perfect Buyer's security interest created hereby. Furthermore, the
Sellers hereby authorize the Buyer to file financing statements relating to the
Repurchase Assets, as the Buyer, at its option, may deem appropriate. The
