    SECTION 1.    Definitions. Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by:

          	a.	
            From time to time, in the sole discretion of Buyers, Administrative Agent (for the benefit of Buyers) may facilitate the purchase by Buyers from Seller certain Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets that have been originated and/or
              purchased by Seller Parties.  This Agreement is not a commitment by Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to enter into Transactions with Seller but rather sets forth the procedures to be used in connection with periodic requests for
              Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers to enter into Transactions with Seller.  Seller hereby acknowledges that Administrative Agent on behalf of Buyers is under no obligation to agree to enter into, or to enter into, any Transaction
              pursuant to this Agreement.  All Purchased Mortgage Loans and Contributed Assets shall exceed or meet the Asset Guidelines, and shall be serviced by Seller or Servicer, as applicable.  The sum of the Aggregate Purchase Price-Base and the
              Aggregate Purchase Price-Incremental shall not exceed the Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price.

          


     

    SECTION 3.    Repurchase; Conversion to REO Property.  Section 4.a of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the
      following:

     

    a.    Seller shall repurchase the related Purchased Assets from Administrative Agent for the benefit of Buyers on each related Repurchase Date.  In addition, Seller may repurchase
      Purchased Assets without penalty or premium on any date.  If Seller intends to make such a repurchase, Seller shall give same day prior written notice to Administrative Agent, designating the Purchased Assets to be repurchased.  Such obligation to
      repurchase exists without regard to any prior or intervening liquidation or foreclosure with respect to any Purchased Asset or Contributed Asset (but Liquidation Proceeds received by Administrative Agent shall be applied to reduce the Repurchase
      Price for such Purchased Asset on each Payment Date except as otherwise provided herein).  Seller is obligated to repurchase and take physical possession of the Purchased Assets and Contributed Assets from Administrative Agent or its designee
      (including the Custodian) at Seller’s expense on the related Repurchase Date and Administrative Agent or its designee shall make such Purchased Asset available to Seller for repurchase on the related Repurchase Date to the extent the Repurchase Price
      is received prior to [***] (New York City time).

    SECTION 7.    Confidentiality.  Section 32.a of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such section in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

     

    a.           This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Administrative Agent and Buyers and shall be held by
      each Seller Party and Guarantor  in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Administrative Agent except for (i) disclosure to such party’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries,
      attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence or (ii) disclosure required by any Requirement of Law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the
      contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreement, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding
