WHEREAS, Bank and Servicer now desire to amend the Agreement as stated below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements hereinafter set forth, and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, Bank and Servicer agree as follows:
1. Section 1.1(c) Reporting. Section 1.1(c) is hereby
deleted in its entirety and replaced with a new Section 1.1(c), as follows:
“(c) Reporting. On
or before the 15th calendar day of each month following the end of a Measuring Period, or the following business day if the 15th calendar day is not a business day (the “Performance Report Deadline”), Servicer will provide Bank
with a summary of Servicer’s performance regarding each Performance Standard for the just-ended Measuring Period (each such summary with respect to a particular Performance Standard, a “Performance Standard Report”). In addition, Servicer shall
provide such other reporting as reasonably requested by Bank from time to time.”
2. Section 1.2 Compensation by Bank for Services. Section 1.2 is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with a new Section 1.2, as follows:
“1.2 Compensation by Bank for Services; Financial
Penalties.
(a) |
Bank shall pay Servicer for Services provided in accordance with the provisions of Appendix

(b) |
In addition to the fees set forth on Appendix B, if, as reported in the Performance Standard Reports, or in the reasonable business judgement of Bank, Servicer fails to
meet (i) any single annual Performance Standard, (ii) any quarterly Performance Standard in any two (2) Measuring Periods within in a rolling 12 month period, or (iii) any monthly Performance Standard (a) in any two consecutive months, (b)
three times in any rolling six months, or (c) five times in any rolling twelve months, then the fee to be paid by Bank to Servicer shall be reduced by two percent (2%) for each Performance Standard missed, not to exceed ten percent (10%), for
the month following the month in which the triggering failure occurred (the “Following Month”), and that amount, as reduced, shall become the amount which is due and payable by Bank for the Following Month.
|
(c) |
For purposes of calculating the number of Performance Standard failures in a certain Measuring Period, (i) multiple failures traced to a single root cause shall be
counted as a single failure, and (ii) beginning May 1, 2023, any Performance Standard for which a Performance Standard Report is not provided by Servicer by the fifth (5th) business day following the applicable Performance Report
Deadline shall be deemed to have failed in the Measuring Period for which no Performance Standard Report was provided.”
