RECITALS
The Buyer and the Seller are parties to that certain (a) Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2015 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 15, 2015, the “Existing Repurchase Agreement”; and as amended by this Amendment, the “Repurchase Agreement”) and (b) Pricing Letter, dated as of July 24, 2015 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Pricing Letter”). Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Existing Repurchase Agreement.
The Buyer and the Seller have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement be amended to reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms of the Existing Repurchase Agreement.
Accordingly, the Buyer and the Seller hereby agree, in consideration of the mutual promises and mutual obligations set forth herein, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement are hereby amended as follows:
SECTION 1. Definitions. Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:
1.1 deleting the definitions of “Agency Approval”, “Buydown Amount” and “Change in Control” in their entirety and replacing them with the following:
“Buydown Amount” shall mean amounts held in the Operating Account to the extent not applied to Obligations under this Agreement.
“Agency Approval” shall mean the approvals of Seller from the relevant Agencies as set forth on Schedule 4 hereof.
“Change in Control” shall mean:
(a) any transaction or event as a result of which Aris Mortgage Holding Company, LLC ceases to own, directly or indirectly at least 100% of the membership interests of Seller;
(b) the sale, transfer, or other disposition of all or substantially all of Seller’s assets (excluding any such action taken in connection with any securitization transaction); or
(c) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of Seller with or into another entity or any other corporate reorganization (in one transaction or in a series of transactions), if 50% or more of the combined voting power of the continuing or surviving entity’s stock or other equity interests outstanding immediately after such merger, consolidation or such other reorganization is owned by persons who were not direct or indirect equity stockholders of Seller immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or other reorganization.
1.2 deleting the definition of “Maximum Available Purchase Price” in its entirety and all references to “Maximum Available Purchase Price” shall be deemed references to “Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price”;
1.3 deleting the definitions of “Netting Agreement”, “RESI Facility” and “RESI Operating Account” in their entirety and all references thereto.
SECTION 2. Payment, Transfers; Accounts. Section 9 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:
2.1 deleting subsection (d) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
(d) Operating Account. From time to time, Seller may provide funds to Buyer for deposit to an interest bearing account (the “Operating Account”) in accordance with this Section 9. The Operating Account shall be a subaccount of an interest-bearing savings account (the “Omnibus Account”) maintained by Buyer as agent for the benefit of Seller and other sellers of mortgage related assets with a bank determined by Buyer its sole discretion (the “Depository”). The Buyer shall have non-exclusive withdrawal rights from the Operating Account. Seller acknowledges that Buyer acts as Seller’s agent for the limited purpose of placing funds with the Depository, and that funds held by Buyer as Seller’s agent are not a deposit account or other liability of Buyer. Buyer shall maintain records of Seller’s interest in the funds maintained in the Omnibus Account. Withdrawals will be paid by wire transfer.
2.2 deleting subsection (g) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
(g) Operating Account Interest. Subject to Section 9(h), the Buydown Amount will accrue interest at the Operating Account Rate; provided that in no event shall interest accrue on (i) the Buydown Amount if (x) on any day the Buydown Amount is less than the Minimum Balance Requirement or (y) the average balance of funds in the Operating Account during any calendar month is less than the Minimum Balance Requirement and (ii) that portion of the Buydown Amount that is in excess of the lesser of (a) the aggregate outstanding Purchase Price of all Transactions during any calendar month or (b) the Minimum Balance Requirement. Unless otherwise set forth in the Pricing Letter:
(i) The Depository calculates interest accrual daily on the basis of funds credited to the Operating Account, but credits interest monthly. As a result, interest will not begin to compound until credited in the month following its accrual. The Depository credits interest to the Operating Account in the month following its accrual on a schedule set by Depository from time to time, which may result in a delay in interest crediting as late as the twentieth (20th) day of the calendar month.
(ii) The Depository accrues interest on funds deposited to the Operating Account beginning on the day on which such funds are received in the Operating Account, and through, but not including, the day on which funds are withdrawn from the Operating Account.
(iii) Interest paid on funds in the Operating Account at the Operating Account Rate shall be credited to the Operating Account unless otherwise withdrawn by Buyer at the direction of Seller as provided herein.
SECTION 3. Representations. Section 11 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting subsection (w) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
(w) Agency Approvals. With respect to each Agency Approval, Seller is in good standing, with no event having occurred or Seller having any reason whatsoever to believe or suspect will occur, including, without limitation, a change in insurance coverage which would either make Seller unable to comply with the eligibility requirements for maintaining all such Agency Approvals or require notification to the relevant Agency.
SECTION 4. Covenants. Section 12 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:
4.1 deleting subsection (c) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:
(c) Notice of Proceedings or Adverse Change. Seller shall give notice to Buyer immediately after a Responsible Officer, president, vice president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief operating officer, secretary, treasurer or controller of Seller Party has any knowledge of:
