RECITALS

A. The Seller and U.S. Bank are parties to that certain Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 27, 2008, as amended by a First Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 5, 2009, a Second Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2009, a Third Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of March 4, 2010, and a Fourth Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of July 30, 2010 (as amended, the “Repurchase Agreement”).

B. The Seller and U.S. Bank desire to amend the Repurchase Agreement as provided herein.

AGREEMENT

In consideration of the premises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings specified in the Repurchase Agreement.

Section 2. Amendments.

2.1 Definitions. The definitions of “LIBOR Margin,” “Purchased Loans” and “Termination Date” in Section 1.2 of the Repurchase Agreement are amended to read in their entireties as follows:

“LIBOR Margin” means 2.50%.

“Termination Date” means the earlier of (i) March 4, 2012, 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.

“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. For clarity, “Purchased Loans” shall not mean or include loans repurchased by Seller pursuant to Section 6.1 or otherwise.

2.2 Purchase Price Decrease. Section 3.4(c) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(c) Purchase Price Decrease. The Seller may at any time and from time to time, request a Purchase Price Decrease by notice to the Administrative Agent no less than one (1) Business Day prior to the date that the Seller intends to effectuate such Purchase Price Decrease, specifying the date of the Purchase Price Decrease (the “Purchase Price Decrease Date”). The Purchase Price Decrease amount shall be due and payable in immediately available funds on the Purchase Price Decrease date specified therein. Each Purchase Price Decrease must be in an amount not less than $1,000,000. No Purchased Loans shall be, or be deemed to be, repurchased in connection with a Purchase Price Decrease, unless requested in writing pursuant to Section 6.1(b).

2.3 LIBOR Floor. Section 5.1 of the Repurchase Agreement is amended by deleting the proviso clause at the end thereof and by substituting in lieu thereof the following:

; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pricing Rate will not in any event be less than three and three-quarters percent (3.75%).

2.4 Section 6.1(b) of the Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

6.1(b) On any Business Day on which the Purchase Value of the Purchased Loans subject to Transactions exceeds the then outstanding aggregate Repurchase Price of all Transactions (a “Margin Excess”), so long as no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing or will result therefrom, the Administrative Agent shall, upon receipt of written request from the Seller either remit cash or Release Purchased Loans as may be designated in a request by Seller, in either case, in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount requested by the Seller and (ii) such Margin Excess, subject always to the other limitations of this Agreement. If cash is to be remitted, then the Administrative Agent shall treat the receipt of the written request of Seller under this Section 6.1(b) as if it were a request for a Transaction. To the extent the Administrative Agent remits cash to the Seller, such cash shall be (y) additional Purchase Price with respect to the Transactions, and (z) subject in all respect to the provisions and limitations of this Agreement. Each Buyer shall fund its Pro Rata share of such additional Purchase Price as if the remission of such Margin Excess were the initiation of a Transaction hereunder. For clarity, the term “Release,” as used in this Section 6.1(b), shall mean Buyers re-sale to Seller of one or more designated Purchased Loans and Buyers’ delivery to Seller of the File for each such Purchased Loan.

2

2.5 Additional Warehouse Facility. Section 17.2(e) of the Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety and a new Section 17.2(f) is hereby added to the Repurchase Agreement, as follows:

(e) GAAP Indebtedness owing to Parent or an Affiliate of Parent under a mortgage warehousing facility, mortgage repurchase facility, or off-balance sheet indebtedness under another arrangement to finance residential mortgage loans, so long as (i) such indebtedness is secured only by the mortgage loans financed under such facility and (ii) U.S. Bank as custodian holds the mortgage loan files for all mortgage loans pledged or sold under such facility; and

(f) With the prior written consent of the Required Buyers (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned upon fees), GAAP Indebtedness under a mortgage warehousing facility, mortgage repurchase facility, or off-balance sheet indebtedness under another arrangement to finance residential mortgage loans, other than those described in subsections (c), (d) and (e) of this Section 17.2, provided that the Buyers are given a right of first refusal regarding only similarly structured syndicated mortgage warehousing facilities or mortgage repurchase facilities. Buyers shall have a right of first refusal (“Buyers’ ROF”) regarding only new, similarly structured mortgage warehousing facilities or mortgage repurchase facilities (each a “Finance Facility”). In the event Seller elects to enter into Financing Facility, Seller shall provide to Buyers the material terms of the proposed Finance Facility by delivery to Buyers of a term sheet substantially in the form of Term Sheet attached hereto as Exhibit G (“ROF Term Sheet”). Within 15 days following Buyers’ receipt of the ROF Term Sheet, Buyers shall notify Seller in writing whether Buyers elect to exercise Buyers’ ROF. If within the 15-day period Buyers (i) fail to notify Sellers in writing of Buyer’s election, or (ii) Buyers notify Seller in writing that Buyers decline to exercise Buyers’ ROF, then Seller shall have the right to enter into a Financing Facility substantially in accordance with the terms of the ROF Term Sheet. If within the 15-day period Buyers notify Seller in writing that Buyers elect to exercise Buyers’ ROF, then Buyers and Seller shall commence to complete the Financing Facility in a prompt and reasonable manner.

2.6 Distributions. Section 17.11 of the Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

17.11 Distributions. The Seller shall make no payment of dividends or distributions to any of its partners if either before or after giving effect thereto a Default or an Event of Default exists or shall be caused thereby. For the avoidance of doubt, Seller’s exercise of its right under this Section 17.11 shall not be or be deemed to be a Default or an Event of Default under Section 17.4 or Section 17.7 hereof.

2.7 Financial Covenants. Sections 17.12 and 17.15 of the Repurchase Agreement are amended and restated in their entireties as follows:

17.12 Tangible Net Worth. At all times, the Seller’s Consolidated Tangible Net Worth shall not be less than $75,000,000.

17.15 Liquidity. Seller’s Liquidity shall at all times be no less than $45,000,000.
