agree as follows:
1. Definitions. All terms defined in the Credit Agreement shall have
such defined meanings when used herein unless otherwise defined herein.

amount equal to (a) Consolidated Net Worth at such date less
(b) Consolidated Intangibles at such date.";
17
(d) deleting the definition of MTN Deduction Amount and
inserting in lieu thereof the following definition:
"`MTN Deduction Amount': at any time, the amount by which (a)
the aggregate principal amount of Permitted Medium Term Debt
outstanding at such time exceeds (b) the sum of (i) the remainder (if

definition only, without giving effect to the first proviso appearing
in subsection 4.1) minus (B) the amount equal to 50% of the Tranche B
Commitment Amount at such time plus (ii) 70% of the Appraised Value of
Ineligible Servicing (as defined below) at such time (determined, for
the purposes of this definition only, as if the Ineligible Servicing
constituted the Eligible Servicing constituted the Eligible Servicing
Portfolio as used in the definition of Appraised Value). For the
purposes of this definition only, "Ineligible Servicing" shall mean, at
any time, Direct Servicing Rights that would be included in Eligible
Servicing Portfolio but for failing (x) to satisfy clause (b) of the

2. Amendment to Section 2. The Credit Agreement is hereby amended by
adding the following new subsection 2.12 to the end of Section 2:
"2.12 Increase of Revolving Credit Commitments. (a) HomeSide
may from time to time, by notice to the Administrative Agent, request
that the Tranche A and Tranche B Commitments be increased by an
aggregate amount that is not less than $10,000,000 and will not result
in the aggregate amount of the Commitments for all Lenders exceeding
$3,000,000,000 after giving effect thereto, provided that such increase
shall be allocated proportionally among the Tranche A Commitments and
Tranche B Commitments such that, after giving effect to such increase,
the total amount of each of the Tranche A Commitments and Tranche B
Commitments bears the same relative proportion immediately before
giving effect thereto. Upon receipt of such notice the Administrative
Agent will seek the agreement of one or more existing or new Lenders to
increase or, in the case of new Lenders, provide, its or their Tranche
A Commitments and Tranche B Commitments in an aggregate amount equal to
the increase so requested by such Borrower.
18
(b) If one or more of the Lenders shall have agreed to
increase its or their Tranche A Commitments and Tranche B Commitments
pursuant to a request made as described in the foregoing clause (a) (it
being understood that no Lender shall have any obligation to agree to
any such increase of its Commitments) in an aggregate amount not less
than $10,000,000, such increases and such new Tranche A Commitments and
Tranche B Commitments shall become effective on a date mutually agreed
upon among the Administrative Agent, HomeSide and the Lenders providing
such increase and/or such new Commitments and shall be implemented
pursuant to documentation consistent herewith and otherwise in form and
substance reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent,
providing, among other things, for adjustments to cause Tranche A Loans
and the Tranche B Loans of each Lender to correspond ratably to their
respective Tranche A Commitment Percentages and Tranche B Commitment
Percentages, as applicable, after giving effect to such increase
(including, without limitation, by providing for prepaying and
reborrowing all then outstanding Loans of the affected Tranches)."

of Eligible Paid-in-Full Buyout Advance Receivables;".
(b) Subsection 4.2 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended
by deleting clause (g) of the first paragraph of such subsection and by

provisions of the foregoing or of the definitions of "Direct Servicing
Rights" or "Non-Recourse Servicing Rights" to the contrary, for the
purposes of determining the Tranche B Borrowing Base under subsection
4.2(g) at any time, the value that would be attributed to servicing in
respect of Mortgage Loans owned by HomeSide and not serviced for any
third party if such servicing was pursuant to contracts and
Acknowledgment Agreements with Approved Investors in respect thereof
shall be deemed to be included in the Eligible Servicing Portfolio for
the purposes of clause (g) of subsection 4.2(g) so long as (i) all
other applicable requirements for inclusion therein, other than the
existence of servicing contracts and Acknowledgment Agreements with
Approved Investors in respect thereof, are satisfied and (ii) such
Mortgage Loans are eligible for sale to FNMA or FHLMC or for inclusion
in a pool of Mortgage Loans underlying GNMA Mortgage-Backed
Securities".

hereby amended by inserting immediately after the words "such Loans" the
phrase", other than, in the case of a CP Refunding Borrowing, the

first sentence of subsection 5.7 or the last sentence of subsection 5.9,".
5. Amendment to Subsection 8.1. (a) Subsection 8.1 of the Credit

is hereby amended by inserting the caption (i) before the word "intra-day" at
the beginning of clause (g) thereof and inserting at the end of clause (g)
