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

 

1.              Amendments to Loan Agreement.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, the Loan Agreement is amended as follows:

 

(a)         The following definitions are hereby added to Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement in appropriate alphabetical order:

 

“Third Party Servicing Rights” means all of Borrower’s rights and interests under any Third Party Servicing Agreement (exclusive of Agency Servicing Rights), including the rights to (a) service the mortgage loans serviced or required to be serviced by Borrower

 











 

under any Third Party Servicing Agreement, irrespective of whether the actual servicing is done by another Person (a subservicer) retained by Borrower for that purpose, that are the subject matter of such Third Party Servicing Agreement and (b) be compensated, directly or indirectly, for doing so.

 

“Third Party Servicing Agreement” means, with respect to any Person, the arrangement, whether or not evidenced in writing, pursuant to which Borrower acts as servicer of mortgage loans, whether or not any such mortgage loan is owned by Borrower.

 

(b)         The following definitions in Section 1.1 of the Loan Agreement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety to read as follows:

 

“Commitment” means the obligation of Lender to make Borrowings pursuant to Section 2 in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding up to but not exceeding [***], subject, however, to termination pursuant to Section 10.2.

 

“Pro Forma Debt Service” means debt service with respect to the Obligations, assuming a fully funded Revolving Credit Note with an outstanding principal balance at all times of [***] (regardless of the actual outstanding principal balance on the Revolving Credit Note at any time) and a pro forma 10-year amortization.

 

“Servicing Appraisal” means a written appraisal or evaluation by an Approved Servicing Appraiser evaluating the fair market value of (i) all of the Agency Servicing Rights (ii) all of the Pledged Agency Servicing Rights, in each case as of a date stated in the written report of such evaluation and identifying whether such Agency Servicing Rights are Pledged Agency Servicing Rights, each such evaluation and report to be made at Borrower’s expense, to be addressed to the Lender and to be in a form reasonably acceptable to the Lender, it being understood that, for purposes of this Agreement, (i) the opinion of value in any such independent appraisal or evaluation shall be expressed as a range of values, and for purposes of this Agreement, the Market Value shall be deemed the midpoint (the average of the limits) of the range and (ii) each Servicing Appraisal shall take into account customary factors, including current market conditions and the fact that the Agency Servicing Rights may be terminated by the relevant Servicing Agreement’s counterparty, or sold or otherwise disposed of, under circumstances where Borrower is in default under the applicable Servicing Agreement.  Borrower acknowledges that each Approved Servicing Appraiser’s determination of market value is for the limited purpose of determining an advance rate for purposes of the financing provided in this Agreement.

 

(c)          Section 2.1(a)(iv) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(iv)  Borrowing Procedure.  Borrower shall give Lender notice of each Borrowing by means of a Borrowing Request Form containing the information required therein and delivered (by hand or electronically by email) to Lender no later than 5:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) on the Business Day prior to the Business Day on which the Borrowing is desired to be funded.  Any notice of Borrowing received after 5:00 p.m. (Dallas, Texas time) shall be processed by Lender on a commercially reasonable efforts basis on the

immediately following Business Day but no later than the second Business Day following the Business Day on which it was received.  Lender at its option may accept telephonic requests for such Borrowings, provided that such acceptance shall not constitute a waiver of Lender’s right to require delivery of a Borrowing Request Form in connection with subsequent Borrowings.  Any telephonic request for a Borrowing by Borrower shall be promptly confirmed by submission of a properly completed Borrowing Request Form to Lender, but failure to deliver a Borrowing Request Form shall not be a defense to payment of the Borrowing.  Lender shall have no liability to Borrower for any loss or damage suffered by Borrower as a result of Lender’s honoring of any requests, execution of any instructions, authorizations or agreements or reliance on any reports communicated to it telephonically or electronically by email and purporting to have been sent to Lender by Borrower and Lender shall have no duty to verify the origin of any such communication or the identity or authority of the Person sending it.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Borrowing shall be made available to Borrower by depositing the same, in immediately available funds, in an account of Borrower designated by Borrower maintained with Lender.  If, after giving effect to a requested Borrowing, the Lender determines (either then or on any later day in the course of reviewing the same) that (i) the Borrowing Request Form submitted to it is incomplete or incorrect in any material respect, then the Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform Borrower of such incomplete or incorrect Borrowing Request Form and withhold the entire Borrowing until Borrower shall have demonstrated to the Lender’s reasonable satisfaction that such Borrowing Request Form is in fact not (or is no longer) incomplete or incorrect in any material respect or (ii) the amount of the requested Borrowing exceeds the amount available to Borrower under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then the Lender shall use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly inform Borrower thereof and shall withhold that portion of the Borrowing that exceeds the amount available to Borrower under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

 

(d)         Section 7.1(b) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

(b) Monthly Financial Statements.  As soon as available, and in any event within thirty (30) days after the last day of each calendar month of each fiscal year of Borrower and each Obligated Party, a copy of an unaudited financial report of Borrower and each such Obligated Party as of the end of such calendar month and for the portion of the fiscal year then ended, containing, on a consolidated and consolidating basis, balance sheets and statements of income, retained earnings, and cash flow, in each case setting forth in comparative form the figures for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year, all in reasonable detail certified by a Responsible Officer to have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and to fairly and accurately present (subject to year-end audit adjustments) the financial condition and results of operations of Borrower and each such Obligated Party, on a consolidated and consolidating basis, as of the dates and for the periods indicated therein;

(e)          Section 7.1(d) of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(f)           Section 7.14 of the Loan Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Borrower shall provide (i) a new Servicing Appraisal and (ii) a new summary valuation of all Agency Servicing Rights and Third Party Servicing Rights, in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, in each case to the Lender once each calendar quarter (with the first such period ending March 31, 2018); provided that such Servicing Appraisal and summary valuation for each calendar quarter must be provided to the Lender no later than thirty (30) days following the end of such quarter and; provided further that if a Default or Event of Default has occurred, Lender shall have the right in Lender’s sole discretion to require independent appraisals or evaluations more frequently than every calendar quarter.

 

(g)          Exhibit B to the Credit Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read as set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto.
