WITNESSETH

 

Assignor and Seller are parties to that certain (a) Master Repurchase Agreement, dated as of July 24, 2015 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 15, 2015 and Amendment No. 2, dated as of May 31, 2016, the “Existing Repurchase Agreement”, and as further amended by this Amendment, the “Repurchase Agreement”) and (b) Pricing Letter, dated as of July 24, 2015 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated as of October 15, 2015 and Amendment No. 2, dated as of May 31, 2016, the “Existing Pricing Letter”, and as further amended by this Amendment, the “Pricing Letter”).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Existing Repurchase Agreement and Existing Pricing Letter, as applicable.

 

Assignor wishes to assign to UBS 1285 and UBS 1285 wishes to assume all of the Assignor’s interest in the Repurchase Agreement, the Pricing Letter, the other Program Documents and all future and outstanding Transactions thereunder.

 

Assignor, UBS 1285 and Seller have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement and Existing Pricing Letter be amended to reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms thereof.

 

Accordingly, Assignor, UBS 1285 and Seller hereby agree, in consideration of the mutual promises and mutual obligations set forth herein contained (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by each of the parties), that the Existing Repurchase Agreement and Existing Pricing Letter are hereby amended as follows:

 

SECTION 1.         Assignment.  In consideration of the Repurchase Price outstanding as of the date hereof, Assignor hereby assigns and UBS 1285 hereby assumes all of Assignor’s rights and obligations, as Buyer, with respect to the Existing Repurchase Agreement, the Existing Pricing Letter and all future and outstanding Transactions thereunder.  For the avoidance of doubt, each outstanding Transaction is a continuing transaction and has not been, and shall not be, considered terminated in any respect.  From and after the date hereof, (a) UBS 1285 shall be a party to the Repurchase Agreement and Pricing Letter and shall have the rights and obligations of Assignor as Buyer thereunder and shall be bound by the provisions thereof and (b) Assignor shall relinquish its rights and be released from its obligations under the Repurchase Agreement and Pricing Letter and all future and outstanding Transactions thereunder except for those Obligations of Seller to Assignor (including, without limitation, any indemnification obligations) that survive which shall continue for the benefit of the Assignor.
