by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of September 23, 2013, as further amended by that certain Joinder Agreement, also dated as of September 23, 2013 (and as may be further amended, restated,

Therefore, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of

 SECTION 1. Amendment to Repurchase
Agreement. 
 (a)     The term, “Extension Fee”, as set forth in
Section 2 of the Repurchase Agreement, is hereby deleted in its entirety. 
 (b)     The
terms, “Facility Termination Date” and “Initial Facility Termination Date”, as set forth in Section 2 of the Repurchase Agreement, are each hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as
follows: 
 “Facility Termination Date” shall mean the Initial Facility Termination Date,
as the same may be extended to May 21, 2018, in accordance with the exercise of the First Extension Option and, as same may be further extended to May 21, 2019, in accordance with the exercise of the Second Extension Option. 

“Initial Facility Termination Date” shall mean May 21, 2017. 

(c)     Section 2 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following, new
defined terms, in correct alphabetical order: 
 “Legacy Purchased Loan” shall mean any
Purchased Loan for which the related Purchase Date occurred on or prior to June 30, 2014. 







 “New Purchased Loan” shall mean any Purchased
Loan for which the related Purchase Date occurs after June 30, 2014. 
 “Purchased Loan
Fee” shall have the meaning specified in the Fee Letter. 
 (d)     Section 3(k)
of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 

(k)     Subject to the conditions in this Section 3(k), upon
written notice by Seller delivered to Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) days and no later than thirty (30) days before the Initial Facility Termination Date, Seller may extend the Initial Facility Termination Date for a one year period
(the “First Extension Option”). If the First Extension Option is validly exercised, then, subject to the conditions in this Section 3(k), upon written notice by Seller delivered to Buyer no earlier than ninety (90) days
and no later than thirty (30) days before the Facility Termination Date as extended pursuant to the First Extension Option, Seller may extend the Facility Termination Date as so extended for an additional one year period (the “Second

effect to the Extension Option (i) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and (ii) no Margin Deficit exists (other than any Margin Deficit that has been paid in full).

 Sellers shall pay to Buyer the Purchased Loan Fee, which shall be fully earned by, and due and payable to, Buyer (i) with respect to each Legacy Purchased Loan, on the third
(3rd) anniversary of each related Purchase Date, and (ii) with respect to each New Purchased Loan, on each of the third
(3rd) and fourth (4th) anniversaries of each related Purchase Date. 

SECTION 2. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall become effective on the date (the “Amendment Effective
Date”) on which this Amendment is executed and delivered by a duly authorized officer of each of Sellers and Buyer and acknowledged and agreed by Guarantor. 

SECTION 3. Compliance with Transaction Documents. On and as of the date first above written, each Seller hereby
represents and warrants to Buyer that (a) it is in compliance with all the terms and provisions set forth in the Repurchase Agreement on its part to be observed or performed, (b) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event
of Default under the Repurchase Agreement has occurred and is continuing, and (c) after giving effect to this Amendment, the representations and warranties contained in Section 10 of the Repurchase Agreement are true and correct in
