EXHIBIT 10.3.1
AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO THE
MASTER PRODUCTION AGREEMENT
EXECUTED PREVIOUSLY BETWEEN
R&G MORTGAGE CORP.
AND
GUAYNABO FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK
(NOW R&G PREMIER BANK OF PUERTO RICO)
This Amendment No. 3 dated January 1, 2004 (the "Amendment"), hereby
amends the Master Production Agreement, dated February 16, 1990 by and between
R&G Mortgage Corp., a mortgage banking firm organized under the laws of the
Commonwealth of Puerto Rico ("R&G Mortgage"), and R&G Premier Bank of Puerto
Rico, a Puerto Rico chartered commercial bank which was formerly known as
Guaynabo Federal Savings Bank ("Premier Bank"), as amended on August 30, 1991
and March 31, 1995 (as amended, the "Agreement").
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, from time to time in the conduct of their respective
businesses, Premier Bank has sold and intends to continue to sell mortgage loans
to third parties that were previously originated (and will continue to be
originated) for its portfolio by R&G Mortgage, and in connection with such
sales, R&G Mortgage contractually has agreed and will continue to agree to (i)
repurchase loans which either become non-performing or go into foreclosure, or
which violate representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the
operative sales agreements, or (ii) remit payments to keep such mortgage loans
current as to principal and/or interest, in accordance with the operative sales
agreements;
WHEREAS, in consideration of the obligations it has been incurring and
will continue to incur in connection with commitments undertaken in certain
Premier Bank loan sale agreements with unaffiliated third parties, the Board of
Directors of Premier Bank, believes it to be appropriate to compensate R&G
Mortgage for the aforementioned undertakings;
WHEREAS, the Ancillary Agreements Committee has considered the
compensation proposed to be paid to R&G Mortgage pursuant to this Amendment,
together with the compensation already provided under the Agreement, against the
totality of the services performed and to be performed by R&G Mortgage, and
mindful of the provisions of Section 23B of the Federal Reserve Act, has
determined that the Agreement, as hereby amended, reflects terms and
circumstances that, in good faith in the absence of comparable transactions,
would be offered to, or would apply to, non-affiliated companies; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Premier Bank, pursuant to the
recommendation of its Ancillary Agreements Committee, hereby resolves to approve
the Amendment, whereby
R&G Mortgage will be entitled to 50% of the excess service fee generated on all
loans that were originally originated by R&G Mortgage for Premier Bank, upon
sale by Premier Bank to an unaffiliated third party, with such fee to be paid at
the time of sale of any such loans, effective as of the date of this Amendment.
NOW, THEREFORE, intending to legally bound, the parties hereby agree to
amend the Agreement as follows:
I. A new Section 3.1 is hereby added to the Agreement and states in its
entirety as follows (with defined terms used as they appear in the Agreement):
3.1 ADDITIONAL FEE. In connection with the sale of loans by Bank
to unaffiliated third parties which have been referred and originated by R&G
hereunder, pursuant to which R&G becomes contractually obligated to (i)
repurchase loans which either become non-performing or go into foreclosure, or
which violate representations, warranties or covenants set forth in the
operative sales agreements, or (ii) remit payments to keep such mortgage loans
current as to principal and/or interest, in accordance with the operative sales
agreements, Bank agrees to allocate to R&G, at the time of such sales, 50% of
the excess service fees generated in connection with any such sale.
II. The rest, residue and remainder of the Agreement is hereby
reaffirmed, ratified and incorporated as if fully set forth herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this
Amendment to the Agreement this 1st day of January, 2004.
