RECITALS

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend and modify the Repurchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents as provided herein.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Amendment of Repurchase Agreement.

a. The definition of “Facility Amount” in Section 2 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Facility Amount” shall mean $500,000,000 subject to any reduction in accordance with Section 9(b) hereof.

2. Provided no Event of Default is then continuing, upon written request of Seller and effective upon payment by Seller to Buyer of the Adjusted Upfront Fee (as defined below), the Facility Amount shall be increased by $100,000,000. The “Adjusted Upfront Fee” shall mean an amount equal to the product of (i) [**] multiplied by (ii) $100,000,000 multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from the effective date of such increase in the Facility Amount to the Facility Termination Date and the denominator of which is the number of days from the commencement date of the then existing Extension Term to the Facility Termination Date. From and after the effective date of such increase in the Facility Amount, the definition of Facility Amount shall be deemed to be amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“Facility Amount” shall mean $600,000,000 subject to any reduction in accordance with Section 9(b) hereof.

2. Amendment of Transaction Documents. From and after the date hereof, all references in the Repurchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to the Repurchase Agreement shall be deemed to refer to the Repurchase Agreement as amended and modified by this Amendment and as same may be further amended, modified and/or restated.

3. Reaffirmation of Representations and Warranties. Guarantor and Seller each hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that, as of the date hereof, (i) it has the power to execute, deliver and perform its respective obligations under this Amendment, (ii) this Amendment has been duly executed and delivered by it for good and valuable consideration, and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable against it in accordance with its terms subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, and other limitations on creditors’ rights generally and to equitable principles, (iii) Seller is not in default under the Repurchase Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, and there are no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against Seller’s obligations under the Repurchase Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, (iv) Guarantor is not in default under the Guaranty beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, and there are no defenses, offsets or counterclaims against its obligations under the Guaranty, and (v) neither the execution and delivery of this Amendment, nor the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated by this Amendment, nor compliance by it with the terms, conditions and provisions of this Amendment will conflict with or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or provisions of (A) its organizational documents, (B) any contractual obligation to which it is now a party or the rights under which have been assigned to it or the obligations under which have been assumed by it or to which its assets are subject or constitute a default thereunder, or result thereunder in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of its assets, other than pursuant to this Amendment, (C) any judgment or order, writ, injunction, decree or demand of any court applicable to it, or (D) any applicable Requirement of Law, in the case of clauses (B)-(D) above, to the extent that such conflict or breach is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. Guarantor hereby represents and warrants to Buyer that all of the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Guaranty remain true and correct as of the date hereof.

4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by each of the parties hereto in any number of separate counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment in Portable Document Format (PDF) or by facsimile transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed original counterpart thereof.

5. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO THE CONFLICT OF LAW PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

6. Expenses. Seller hereby acknowledges and agrees that Seller shall be responsible for all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of Buyer in connection with

documenting and consummating the modifications contemplated by this Amendment, including, but not limited to, the reasonable fees and expenses of Buyer’s external legal counsel.

7. Reaffirmation of Guaranty. Guarantor acknowledges and agrees that, except as modified hereby, the Guaranty remains unmodified and in full force and effect and enforceable in accordance with its terms.

8. Repurchase Agreement, Guaranty and Transaction Documents in Full Force and Effect.
