(v) Maintenance of Profitability. Excel shall not permit, for the four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters ending on the relevant Test Date, Seller’s Net Income for such four (4) consecutive fiscal quarters (on an aggregate basis) to be less than $1.00.”

“‘LIBOR Rate’ shall mean, with respect to each day a Transaction is outstanding, the rate per annum equal to the rate appearing at Reuters Screen LIBOR01 Page (or such other page as may replace the Reuters LIBOR01 Page on such service or such other service as may be designated by Buyer for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. Dollar deposits) as one month LIBOR on such date (and if such date is not a Business Day, the LIBOR Rate in effect on the Business Day immediately preceding such date), and if such rate shall not be so quoted, the rate per annum at which Buyer or its Affiliate is offered dollar deposits at or about 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on such date, by prime banks in the interbank eurodollar market where the eurodollar and foreign currency exchange operations in respect of its Transactions are then being conducted for delivery on such day for a period of one month and in an amount comparable to the amount of the Transactions outstanding on such day. “
(f) The definitions of “LIBOR Floor” contained in the Repurchase Agreement and the Pricing Letter are hereby deleted.
(g) Section 3(c)(i) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(i) The applicable Seller shall deliver a Transaction Request through the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System to Buyer on or prior to the date and time set forth in Section 3(b)(vi) prior to entering into any Transaction. Such Transaction Request shall include all information required by Buyer pursuant to the EverBank Warehouse Customer Guide. Following receipt of such request, Buyer may in its sole discretion agree to enter into such requested Transaction, in which case it will fund the Purchase Price therefor as contemplated in this Agreement. Buyer’s funding the Purchase Price of the Transaction and Seller’s acceptance thereof, will constitute the parties agreement to enter into such Transaction. Buyer shall confirm the terms of each Transaction on the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System, including information that sets forth (A) the Purchase Date, (B) the Purchase Price, (C) the Repurchase Date, (D) the Pricing Rate applicable to the Transaction, (E) the applicable Purchase Price Percentages, and (F) additional terms or conditions not inconsistent with this Agreement; provided that Buyer’s failure to enter the information into the EverBank Warehouse Electronic System shall not affect the obligations of Sellers with respect to such Transaction. This Agreement is not a commitment by Buyer to enter into Transactions with Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests for Buyer to enter into Transactions with Seller. Seller hereby acknowledges that Buyer is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction pursuant to this Agreement. “
(h) Section 3(c)(iii) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(iii) Except as otherwise provided in the definition of Termination Date, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction shall not be later than the Termination Date.”
(i) Section 12 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding to the end thereof a new subsection (bb) as follows:
(bb) Minimum Reserve Amount. Sellers shall at all times maintain the Minimum Reserve Amount in the Reserve Account. In the event Buyer makes any withdrawal from the Reserve Account, Buyer shall provide Sellers notice of such withdrawal and Sellers shall have one (1) Business Day following such notice to deposit sufficient funds in the Reserve Account to satisfy the Minimum Reserve Amount. Buyer shall have the right, but not the obligation, at any time and from time to time to transfer funds from the Inbound Account or the Haircut Account to the Reserve Account to maintain the Minimum Reserve Amount.
SECTION 2. Defined Terms. Any terms capitalized but not otherwise defined herein should have the respective meanings set forth in the Agreement.
SECTION 3. Limited Effect. Except as amended hereby, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms. Reference to this Fourth Amendment need not be made in the Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to, or with respect to, the Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Agreement as amended hereby.
SECTION 4. Representations. In order to induce Buyer to execute and deliver this Fourth Amendment, each Seller hereby represents to Buyer that as of the date hereof, except as otherwise expressly waived by Buyer in writing, such Seller is in full compliance with all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement including without limitation, all of the representations and warranties and all of the affirmative and negative covenants, and no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Agreement.
SECTION 5. Governing Law. This Fourth Amendment and any claim, controversy or dispute arising under or related to or in connection with this Fourth Amendment, the relationship of the parties, and/or the interpretation and enforcement of the rights and duties of the parties will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts of law principles other than Sections 5-1401 and 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law which shall govern.
SECTION 6. Counterparts. This Fourth Amendment may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute but one and the same agreement. This Fourth Amendment, to the extent signed and delivered by facsimile or other electronic means, shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original agreement and shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version thereof delivered in person. No signatory to this Fourth Amendment shall raise the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement was transmitted or communicated through
the use of a facsimile machine or other electronic means as a defense to the formation or enforceability of a contract and each such Person forever waives any such defense.
SECTION 7. Guarantor. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that nothing contained herein, and Guarantor’s signature hereon, shall not be deemed an acknowledgement, a course of conduct, a waiver or an amendment of the provisions of the Facility Guaranty, which continue in full force and effect and do not require any Guarantor’s consent to the actions taken hereunder.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Sellers, Guarantor and Buyer have caused this Fourth Amendment to be executed and delivered as of the Amendment Effective Date.
