1.	Amendments. Effective as of March 12, 2018 (the “Effective Date”), the Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

(a) Section 6.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (d) thereof in its entirety and replacing it with the following (modified text underlined for review purposes):

(d) Servicing Agreement. If there is a Servicer of the Purchased Mortgage Loans, Seller shall enter into a Servicing Agreement with the Servicer on behalf of Buyer, which such Servicing Agreement shall be on terms agreed to by Buyer, and which shall include, at a minimum, (i) a recognition by the Servicer of Buyer’s interests and rights to the Purchased Mortgage Loans as provided under this Agreement, including, without limitation, Buyer’s ownership of the servicing rights related to the Purchased Mortgage Loans; (ii) an obligation for the Servicer to subservice the Purchased Mortgage Loans consistent with the degree of skill and care that the Servicer customarily requires with respect to similar Mortgage Loans owned or managed by it but in no event no less than in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices; (iii) an obligation to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations; (iv) an obligation to maintain all state and federal licenses necessary for it to perform its subservicing responsibilities; (v) an obligation not to impair the rights of Buyer in any Purchased Mortgage Loans or any payment thereto and (vi) an obligation to collect all sums payable in respect of the Purchased Mortgage Loans on behalf of Buyer, in trust, in segregated custodial accounts and, solely with regard to collections from any Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan, remit such Income to the Custodial Account within two (2) Business Days of receipt. Further, such Servicing Agreement shall contain express reporting requirements and other rights to allow Buyer to inspect the records of the Servicer with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Buyer may terminate the subservicing of any Purchased Mortgage Loan with the then existing Servicer in accordance with either Section 6.2(f) or Section 6.2(m).

(b) Section 6.2 of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsections (h), (i), (j) and (k) thereof in their respective entireties and replacing them with the following:

(h) Right to Appoint Successor Servicer. Buyer reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to appoint a successor servicer to subservice any Purchased Mortgage Loan

(each a “Successor Servicer”). In the event of such an appointment, Seller or the Servicer, as applicable, shall perform all acts and take all action so that any part of the Mortgage Loan File and related servicing records held by Seller or the Servicer, together with all funds (including, without limitation, all funds in the Custodial Account with respect to Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loans) and other receipts relating to such Purchased Mortgage Loan, are promptly delivered to the Successor Servicer. Seller shall have no claim for servicing fees, lost profits or other damages if Buyer appoints a Successor Servicer hereunder.

(i) Custodial Account. Solely with respect to Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loans:

(i) Seller shall establish and maintain a segregated time or demand deposit account for the benefit of Buyer (the “Custodial Account”) with an Eligible Bank and shall promptly deposit (but in no event later than two (2) Business Days after receipt) into the Custodial Account all Income received with respect to each Purchased Mortgage Loan that is a Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan sold hereunder. The Custodial Account may not be a deposit account that is established to serve as a custodial account for mortgage loans that Seller services for other parties. Under no circumstances shall Seller deposit any of its own funds into the Custodial Account or otherwise commingle its own funds with funds belonging to Buyer as owner of any Purchased Mortgage Loan.

Subject to Section 7.2(i) below, Seller shall perfect Buyer’s security interest in the Custodial Account, and, during an Event of Default which has occurred and is continuing, either (A) cause the Eligible Bank to agree to comply at any time with instructions from Buyer to such Eligible Bank directing the disposition of funds from time to time credited to such Custodial Account, without further consent of Seller or any other Person, pursuant to an agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Buyer or (B) arrange for Buyer to become the customer of the Eligible Bank with respect to the Custodial Account, with Seller being permitted to exercise rights to withdraw funds from such Custodial Account as set forth in Section 6.2(i)(iii)(3) below (together, the “Control Agreement”).

(iii) Any Income received with respect to a Purchased Mortgage Loan that is a Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan purchased hereunder (but not any interest accrued on such Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan up to but not including the Purchase Date for such Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan), shall be segregated as described above and held in trust for the exclusive benefit of Buyer as the owner of such Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan and shall be released only as follows:

(1) after the Repurchase Price for such Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan has been paid in full to Buyer, all amounts previously deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to such Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loan and then in the Custodial Account shall be released by Buyer to Seller or transferred to the Approved Investor or its designee if authorized by Seller;

(2) if a Successor Servicer is appointed by Buyer, all amounts deposited in the Custodial Account with respect to Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loans to be so subserviced shall be transferred into an account established by the Successor Servicer pursuant to its agreement with Buyer; or

(3) upon instruction by Buyer.

(j) Location of Custodial Account. Solely with respect to any Custodial Account created for Jumbo Aggregation Mortgage Loans pursuant to Section 6.2(i) above, Seller shall not change the identity or location of such Custodial Account without thirty (30) days prior notice to Buyer. Seller shall from time to time, at its own cost and expense, execute such directions to the depository Eligible Bank, and other papers, documents or instruments as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to reflect Buyer’s ownership interest in such Custodial Account.

(k) Accounting of Custodial Account. If Buyer so requests, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer of each deposit in the Custodial Account, and each withdrawal from the Custodial Account, made by it with respect to the Purchased Mortgage Loans. Seller shall promptly deliver to Buyer photocopies of all periodic bank statements and other records relating to any Custodial Account as Buyer may from time to time request.
