SECTION 1.    Amendments to the Existing Base Indenture.

(a)    The Existing Base Indenture is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Interim Borrowing Base Determination Date,” “Interim Borrowing Base Payment Date,” “Market Value Percentage,” “Modified Valuation” and “Modified Valuation Trigger” from Section 1.1 thereof in their entirety and replacing them with the following:

Interim Borrowing Base Determination Date: Provided that the applicable Modified Valuation Trigger is outstanding on such date, the Business Day following the day in which a Modified Valuation Trigger has occurred.

Interim Borrowing Base Payment Date: Provided that the applicable Modified Valuation Trigger is outstanding on such date, the fifth (5th) Business Day following an Interim Borrowing Base Determination Date.

Market Value Percentage: Means:

(a)    for funding purposes (and for the purpose of calculating the Collateral Value used in connection with such determination of a funding) from time to time, as of any date of determination, the lesser of (i) the fair value percentage (carried out to four decimals and unrounded) of the MSR determined by the Servicer as of the most recent date of determination or (ii) the valuation percentage (carried out to four decimals and unrounded), including any Modified Valuation as applicable, of the MSR from the most recently delivered Market Value Report;

 

- 3 -


(b)    for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base (and for the purpose of calculating the Collateral Value used in connection with such determination of the Borrowing Base) from time to time, as of any date of determination, the greater of (i) the Market Value Percentage calculated for funding purposes pursuant to clause (a) above, and (ii) the lower of (x) the product of (1) the valuation percentage (carried out to four decimals and unrounded) of the MSR from the most recently delivered Market Value Report and (2) [***] or (y) the product of (1) the average of each valuation percentage (carried out to four decimals and unrounded) in effect (including the Modified Valuation, if applicable) (a) on such date of determination, (b) on the Business Day prior to the date on which the most recent Market Value Report was delivered in connection with the current Payment Date and (c) on the Business Day prior to the date on which the Market Value Report was delivered in connection with the prior Payment Date and (2) [***]; or

(c)    for purposes of determining the Interim Borrowing Base (and for the purpose of calculating the Collateral Value used in connection with such determination of the Interim Borrowing Base, for purposes of determining the Borrowing Base in connection with any Payment Date that is also an Interim Borrowing Base Payment Date or any Payment Date when a Modified Valuation is in effect and for the purpose of calculating the Collateral Value used in connection with such determination of the Borrowing Base for any Payment Date that is also an Interim Borrowing Base Payment Date) from time to time, as of any date of determination, the greater of (i) the Market Value Percentage calculated for funding purposes pursuant to clause (a) above which shall represent the Modified Valuation applicable to the Interim Borrowing Base Determination Date, and (ii) the lower of (x) the product of (1) the valuation percentage (carried out to four decimals and unrounded), which shall represent the applicable Modified Valuation, of the MSR from the most recently delivered Market Value Report and (2) [***] or (y) the product of (1) the average of each valuation percentage (carried out to four decimals and unrounded) in effect (including the Modified Valuation, if applicable) (a) on such date of determination, (b) on the Business Day prior to the date on which the most recent Market Value Report was delivered in connection with the current Payment Date and (c) on the Business Day prior to the date on which the Market Value Report was delivered in connection with the prior Payment Date, and (2) [***].

Modified Valuation: The fair market values and the valuation percentages of the Portfolio provided by the MSR Valuation Agent in the Market Value Report assuming that a Modified Valuation Trigger has occurred; provided, however, that in the event that a Modified Valuation Trigger is no longer in effect, the Modified Valuation shall be the fair market values and valuation percentages of the Portfolio used by the MSR Valuation Agent in the most recent Market Value Report for such Borrowing Base Determination Date assuming that no Modified Valuation Trigger is applicable.

 

- 4 -


Modified Valuation Trigger: Occurs when the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate (mid-mark) as compared to the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate (mid-mark) used by the MSR Valuation Agent as of the Borrowing Base Determination Date relating to the most recent Market Value Report (i) declines by more than [***] or (ii) increases by more than [***]; provided, however, that a Modified Valuation Trigger shall no longer be in effect if the 10-year U.S. Treasury rate (mid-mark) increases or decreases such that the condition that gave rise to such Modified Valuation Trigger (as described in either (i) or (ii) above, as applicable) is no longer outstanding; provided, further, if a new Market Value Report is delivered when a Modified Valuation Trigger is presently in effect, such Modified Valuation Trigger will remain in effect based on the values set forth in the immediately preceding Market Value Report unless a Modified Valuation Trigger would also be in effect based on the new Market Value Report, in which case, the valuations associated with the Modified Valuation Trigger from the new Market Value Report shall apply.

(b)    Section 3.3(a) of the Existing Base Indenture is hereby amended by deleting clause (i) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(c)    Section 3.3 of the Existing Base Indenture is hereby amended by deleting clause (d) in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

(d)    Annual Lien Opinion.
