2.4 Increase in Maximum Aggregate Commitment. Section 2.3 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

2.3. Request for Increase in Maximum Aggregate Commitment. If the Seller shall request in writing to the Agent an increase in the Maximum Aggregate Commitment to a specified amount up to One Hundred Twenty Five Million Dollars ($125,000,000),

2.5 Syndication of Purchases. Section 3.2 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

3.2 Syndication of Purchases. U.S. Bank shall notify each Buyer no later than 2:00 p.m. on each Swing Line Refunding Due Date of such Buyer’s Funding Share of the Swing Line Transactions that are to be converted to Regular Transactions on such date. If at the time each such Swing Line Transaction was funded, U.S. Bank reasonably believed that all of the conditions set forth in Section 2.5 were satisfied in all material respects, then the other Buyers shall be (subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents) unconditionally and irrevocably obligated to timely fund their respective Funding Shares of such Transactions, irrespective of whether in the meantime any Default or Event of Default has occurred or been discovered, and irrespective of whether in the meantime some or all of the Buyers’ Commitments have lapsed, expired or been canceled, rescinded or terminated with or without cause, or have been waived, released or excused for any reason whatsoever, so that (a) the Swing Line is paid down by the required amount on each Swing Line Refunding Due Date and (b) all Swing Line Transactions are converted to Regular Transactions with each Buyer having funded its Funding Share thereof. All Price Differential accrued on Swing Line Transactions to the applicable Swing Line Refunding Due Date shall be due and payable by the Seller to the Agent (for distribution to U.S. Bank) within two (2) Business Days after the Agent bills the Seller for such Price Differential (which billing shall occur monthly) but in no event later than the Termination Date. All amounts due from the Buyers under this Section 3.2 shall be transmitted by federal funds wire transfer in accordance with the Agent’s instructions. The Agent shall disburse to U.S. Bank an amount equal to the sum of the Funding Shares received from the Buyers on any day against each Transaction that was initially funded as a Swing Line Transaction (excluding U.S. Bank’s own Funding Share thereof); provided that if a Buyer other than U.S. Bank advises the Agent by telephone and confirms the advice by fax that such Buyer has placed all of its Funding Share on the federal funds wire to the account designated by the Agent, the Agent shall continue to keep the Swing Line Transaction outstanding to the extent of that Buyer’s Funding Share so wired until such Buyer’s Funding Share is received, and the Agent shall then repay U.S. Bank that still-outstanding portion of the

Swing Line Transaction from such funds, and the Price Differential accrued at the Pricing Rate(s) applicable to the Transaction on that Funding Share for the period from (and including) the relevant Swing Line Refunding Due Date to (but excluding) the date such Buyer’s Funding Share is received by the Agent shall belong to U.S. Bank; provided, further that in no event shall U.S. Bank have any obligation to continue such portion of any Swing Line Transaction outstanding if and to the extent, if any, that doing so would cause the total amount funded by U.S. Bank and outstanding to exceed the Swing Line Limit. If any Buyer fails to transmit any funds required under this Section 3.2 so that such funds are received in accordance with the Agent’s instructions by 4:00 p.m. on the Swing Line Refunding Due Date (i.e., excluding any such failure caused by a federal funds wire delay), then that Buyer shall also be obligated to pay to U.S. Bank Price Differential on the Funding Share so due from such Buyer to U.S. Bank at the Federal Funds Rate from (and including) such Swing Line Refunding Due Date to (but excluding) the date of payment of such Funding Share.

2.6 Repurchase After a Disqualifier. Section 3.4(b) of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(b) Repurchase After a Disqualifier. If any Disqualifier occurs in respect of a Purchased Loan and such Disqualifier results in a Margin Deficit, the Seller shall immediately, without the need for prior notice or demand by the Agent, transfer cash, Additional Purchased Loans or a combination of cash and Additional Purchased Loans to the Agent in an amount sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit in accordance with Section 6.1. Thereafter, the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Loan will be deemed to be zero and the Seller may at any time repurchase such Purchased Loan pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

2.7 Defaulting Buyers. Article 3 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Section 3.11 immediately after section 3.10:

3.11. Defaulting Buyers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, if any Buyer becomes a Defaulting Buyer, then the following provisions shall apply for so long as such Buyer is a Defaulting Buyer:

(a) Facility Fees and Non-usage Fees shall cease to accrue on the unfunded portion of the Commitment of such Defaulting Buyer pursuant to Section 9.1;

(b) The Commitment of and the outstanding Purchase Prices paid by such Defaulting Buyer shall not be included in determining whether all Buyers or the Required Buyers have taken or may take any action hereunder (including any consent to any amendment or waiver pursuant to Section 22.4), provided that any waiver, amendment, modification or action requiring the consent of all Buyers (including without limitation, any waiver, amendment, modification or action under Section 22.3 hereof), and any waiver, amendment, modification or action (other than actions under this Section 3.11) which affects such Defaulting Buyer

differently than other affected Buyers shall require the consent of such Defaulting Buyer;

(c) The respective ownership interests of both (i) the Defaulting Buyer and (ii) the Buyer (or Buyers) that funded the Defaulting Buyer’s Funding Share(s) of any Transaction shall be proportionately decreased and increased, respectively, to the same extent as if their respective Committed Sums were changed in direct proportion to the unreimbursed balance outstanding from time to time thereafter of the amount so funded;

(d) If no other Buyer funds any of the Defaulting Buyer’s Funding Share, then the Pro Rata ownership interests of the Buyers in the Purchased Loans shall be changed, so that each Buyer’s Pro Rata ownership interest in the Purchased Loans is equal to the ratio of (i) the sum of the portions of the Purchase Prices paid by that Buyer in all Open Transactions on that day to (ii) the total of the Purchase Prices paid by all Buyers in all Open Transactions on that day, but the Defaulting Buyer’s share of all subsequent distributions of any Repurchase Price and Margin Deficit payments shall be paid to the other Buyers, pro rata among them in the ratio that the Pro Rata ownership interest in the Purchased Loans owned by each bears to the aggregate Pro Rata ownership interests in the Purchased Loans of all such other Buyers, and the Buyers’ respective Pro Rata ownership interests in the Purchased Loans shall be readjusted after each such payment, until their Pro Rata ownership interests are restored to what they were before any Defaulting Buyer failed to fund. Notwithstanding any such changes in the Buyers’ Pro Rata ownership interests in any Purchased Loan due to any Buyer’s failure to fund its Funding Share(s) of any Transaction, such failure to fund shall not diminish (nor shall it increase except at a Buyer’s election pursuant to Section 2.1 hereof) any Buyer’s Funding Share(s) for subsequent Transactions.

(e) Any amount payable to such Defaulting Buyer hereunder (whether on account of Repurchase Price, Price Differential, fees or otherwise and including any amount that would otherwise be payable to such Defaulting Buyer pursuant to Section 20.2 but excluding Section 6.4) shall, in lieu of being distributed to such Defaulting Buyer, be retained by the Agent in a segregated account and, subject to any applicable requirements of law, be applied at such time or times as may be determined by the Agent (i) first, to the payment of any amounts due and owing by such Defaulting Buyer to the Agent hereunder, (ii) second, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts due and owing by such Defaulting Buyer to the Swing Line Buyer hereunder, (iii) third, to the funding of any Transaction or the funding of any participating interest in any Swing Line Transaction in respect of which such Defaulting Buyer has failed to fund its portion thereof as required by this Agreement, as determined by the Agent, (iv) fourth, if so determined by the Agent and the Seller, held in such account as cash collateral for future funding obligations of the Defaulting Buyer under this Agreement, (v) fifth, pro rata, to the payment of any amounts owing to the Seller or the Buyers as a result of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction obtained by any Seller or any Buyer against such Defaulting Buyer as a result of

such Defaulting Buyer’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement, and (vi) sixth, to such Defaulting Buyer or as otherwise directed by a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, that if such payment is (x) a Purchase Price Decrease and (y) made at a time when the conditions set forth in Section 14.2 are satisfied, such payment shall be applied solely to reduce the Purchase Prices owed to all Buyers that are not Defaulting Buyers Pro Rata prior to being applied to any Purchase Prices owed to, any Defaulting Buyer. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, as between the Seller and any Defaulting Buyer, if any payment made by the Seller that would otherwise be payable to a Defaulting Buyer is retained by the Agent and applied as provided in this Section 3.11(f), the Seller’s Obligations to such Defaulting Buyer shall be deemed satisfied to the extent of such payment and the Defaulting Buyer shall not be entitled to ask for or receive any additional amounts (including without limitation, Price Differential) from Seller with respect to such payment.

In the event that the Agent, the Seller and the Swing Line Buyer all agree that a Defaulting Buyer has adequately remedied all matters that caused such Buyer to be a Defaulting Buyer, then the Swing Line Exposure of the Buyers shall be readjusted to reflect the inclusion of such Buyer’s Commitment and on such date such Buyer shall purchase from the other Buyers at par a portion of the Open Transactions as the Agent shall determine may be necessary in order for such Buyer to participate in such Open Transactions in accordance with its Pro Rata share. For purposes of this Section 3.11, “Swing Line Exposure” shall mean, with respect to any Buyer at any time, such Buyer’s Pro Rata share of the aggregate Purchase Prices of all Swing Line Transactions outstanding at such time.

Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the Seller of any of its rights or remedies (whether in equity or law) against any Buyer which fails to fund any Transaction hereunder at the time or in the amount required to be funded under the terms of this Agreement.

2.8 Pricing Rate. Section 5.1 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

5.1 Pricing Rate. Except as otherwise specified in this Section, the Pricing Rate to be applied to the Purchase Prices of Purchased Loans to determine the Price Differential in all Open Transactions shall be the LIBOR Rate plus the LIBOR Margin applicable from time to time (in each case computed annually); provided that the Pricing Rate (except with respect to the Balance Funded Rate) shall not be less than four and one-half percent (4.50%).

2.9 Separate Agreements. Article 5 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Section 5.8 immediately after section 5.7:

5.8. Separate Agreements. The provisions of Sections 5.2 through 5.5 shall not apply if a particular Buyer and the Seller agree otherwise by separate agreement with respect to adjustments to such Buyer’s Price Differential based on Qualifying Balances.

Any such Buyer shall promptly inform the Agent of the separate agreement (although the terms may remain confidential) and thereafter shall invoice the Seller separately for the Price Differential due pursuant to such separate agreement (and the Agent shall not invoice the Seller for Price Differential due such Buyer hereunder).

2.10 Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate. Section 6.7 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

	6.7.		Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate. If:

	(i)		the Agent or the Required Buyers determine that deposits in United States dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not available to such Buyers in the relevant market;

	(ii)		the Agent and the Required Buyers determine that the LIBOR Rate applicable to the LIBOR Segments, is not ascertainable or does not adequately and fairly reflect the cost of making, maintaining or funding any Transaction based on the LIBOR Rate; or

	(iii)		any Buyer has notified the Agent that the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority, central bank or comparable agency charged with the interpretation or administration thereof, or compliance by such Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) of any such authority, central bank or comparable agency shall make it unlawful or impossible for such Buyer to make, maintain or fund Transactions based on the LIBOR Rate;

then the Agent shall suspend the availability of the LIBOR Rate as of the date of such determination or such Buyer’s notice, whereupon all Open Transactions and any new Transactions shall automatically be converted to have a Pricing Rate equal to the Alternate Base Rate plus the LIBOR Margin; provided that in all events the Pricing Rate shall not be less than four and one-half percent (4.50%) except for those Open Transactions or any new Transactions for which Seller elects to apply the Balance Funded Rate pursuant to Section 5.2 of this Agreement.

2.11 Facility Fee; Non-Use. Section 9.1 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

9.1. Facility Fee; Non-Usage Fee. The Seller agrees to pay to the Agent (for Pro Rata distribution to the Buyers) a facility fee (the “Facility Fee”) in an amount equal to the sum of one quarter of one percent (0.25%) per annum of the Maximum Aggregate Commitment for the period from the Effective Date to the Termination Date, computed for each calendar month or portion thereof from the Effective Date until the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms. If the average Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price is less than 50% of the Maximum Aggregate Commitment for any month, the Seller further agrees to pay to the Agent (for pro rata distribution to the Buyers) a non-usage fee (the “Non-usage Fee”) in an amount determined by applying

a rate of 0.25% per annum to the average daily amount by which the Maximum Aggregate Commitment exceeds the average Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price, computed for each calendar month or portion thereof from the Effective Date to the date this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms. The Facility Fee and the Non-Usage Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears and shall be due no later than two (2) Business Days after the Agent bills the Seller therefor, in accordance with Section 12.2. If the Maximum Aggregate Commitment shall be increased or decreased from time to time either pursuant to a provision of this Agreement or by separate agreement between the Buyers and the Seller (excluding, however, any change occurring as a result of or following the occurrence of a Default or an Event of Default, in respect of which no adjustment of the Facility Fee and the Non-Usage Fee shall be required), the amount of the Facility Fee and the calculation of the Non-Usage Fee shall be adjusted as of the date of such change. The Facility Fee and the Non-Usage Fee are compensation to the Buyers for committing to make funds available for revolving purchases of Eligible Loans on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, and are not compensation for the use or forbearance or detention of money. Each calculation by the Agent of the amount of the Facility Fee and the Non-Usage Fee shall be conclusive and binding absent manifest error.
