Effected. Termination of every Transaction will be effected by (x) the Buyers’ reconveyance to the Seller or its designee of the Purchased Loans, servicing released, and payment of any Income in respect thereof received by the Agent
and not previously either paid to the Seller or applied as a credit to the Seller’s Obligations, against (y) payment of the Repurchase Price in immediately available funds to the account referred to in Section 3.5 by 1:00 p.m.
on the Repurchase Date, so that the Agent receives the Repurchase Price (for Pro Rata distribution to the Buyers) in immediately available funds on that same Business Day; provided that the portion of the Repurchase Price attributable to accrued and
unpaid Price Differential for the Repurchased Loan shall be due and payable on the ninth (9th) calendar day of each month; provided further that all accrued and unpaid Price Differential shall be due and payable on the Termination Date.

 2.6. Withdrawals from Operating Account. Section 3.6 of the Repurchase Agreement is amended by

by the Seller with any Buyer is less than an amount equal to the average daily aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Balance Funded Segments owed to such Buyer during such calendar month (such deficiency being herein referred to as the
“Balances Deficiency”), a fee (the “Balances Deficiency Fee”) shall accrue for said calendar month on the Balances Deficiency at a per annum rate equal to the greater of (a) the average daily LIBOR Rate in
effect during said calendar month and (b) the Earnings Credit Rate; and provided further, that if the Qualifying Balances maintained by the Seller with any Buyer for any calendar month exceeds the weighted average daily aggregate unpaid
principal balance of the Balance Funded Segments held by such Buyer during such calendar month (such excess being defined herein as the “Balances Surplus”), then such Balances Surplus may be carried forward and applied to reduce the
Balances Deficiency Fee in any succeeding calendar months (but not to any calendar month occurring in any subsequent calendar quarter), and the net positive amount of the Balances Deficiency Fee, if any, will be payable by the Seller at the end of
each calendar quarter promptly after the Seller’s receipt of an invoice for such amount. 
 2.8. Price

 5.6. Price Differential Payment Due Dates. Price Differential on each Open Transaction accrued and unpaid to the end of each month before the Termination Date (and any Balance Deficiency Fee) shall

 4 








 
next Business Day thereafter), whether or not such Transaction is still an Open Transaction on such payment due date; provided that (a) all accrued and unpaid Price Differential on all
Transactions (and Balance Deficiency Fees) shall be due on the Termination Date, and (b) all Pricing Differential calculated at the Default Pricing Rate shall be due on demand. 

2.9. Increased Costs, Capital Adequacy and LIBOR Rate. Sections 6.4, 6.5 and 6.7 of the Repurchase Agreement are
amended and restated in their entireties as follows: 
 6.4. Increased Cost. If any Change in Law
subsequent to the Effective Date: 
 (a) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit,
compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of a Buyer which is not otherwise
included in the determination of the LIBOR Rate hereunder; or 
 (b) shall impose on any Buyer any other
condition; 
 and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to such Buyer, by an amount which such Buyer deems
to be material, of entering, continuing or maintaining any Transaction or to reduce any amount due or owing hereunder in respect thereof, then, in any such case, the Seller shall promptly pay the Agent (for distribution to such Buyer) such
additional amount or amounts as calculated by such Buyer in good faith as will compensate such Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. 
 6.5. Capital Adequacy. If any Buyer shall have determined that any Change in Law applicable to such Buyer or any corporation controlling such Buyer subsequent to the Effective Date shall have the
effect of reducing the rate of return on such Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which such Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change
or compliance (taking into consideration such Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by such Buyer to be material, then from time to time, the Seller shall promptly pay to the Agent
(for distribution to such Buyer) such additional amount or amounts as will compensate such Buyer or such corporation for such reduction. 
 6.7. Provisions Relating to LIBOR Rate. If: 
 (a) any Buyer
determines that deposits in United States dollars (in the applicable amounts) are not available to such Buyer in the relevant market; 

  
 5 








 (b) any Buyer determines that the LIBOR Rate 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 
 (c) any Change in Law shall make it unlawful or impossible for any 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 rate per annum equal to the LIBOR Margin plus the Prime Rate in effect on such date; provided that in all events the
Pricing Rate shall not be less than three and three-fourths percent (3.75%). 
 2.10. Taxes. Sections 7.1
and 7.3 of the Repurchase Agreement are amended and restated in their entireties as follows: 
 7.1. Payments
to be Free of Taxes; Withholding. All payments by the Seller to or for the account of any Buyer or the Agent hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any and all Taxes. If the Seller shall be required by law to deduct
any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to any Buyer or the Agent, (a) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable
under this Section 7.1) such Buyer or the Agent (as the case may be) receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (b) the Seller shall make such deductions, (c) the Seller shall
pay the full amount deducted to the relevant authority in accordance with applicable law and (d) the Seller shall furnish to the Agent the original copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof within 30 days after such payment is made.

 7.3. Taxes Indemnity. The Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Buyers and the Agent for, and to hold
each of them harmless against, the full amount of Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 7 imposed on or paid by the Buyers or the Agent and any
liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by the Seller provided for in this Section 7.3 shall apply and be made whether or not the Taxes or Other
Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by the Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 7.3 shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which
the Agent makes written demand therefor. 
 2.11. Facility Fee. The second sentence of Section 9.1 of
the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended to read as follows: “The Facility Fee shall be payable monthly in arrears and shall be due and payable no later than the ninth (9th) day of each month (or if such day is not a Business Day, on the
first Business Day thereafter).” 

  
 6 








 2.12. Agent’s Discretion. Section 22.5(a) of the Repurchase
Agreement is amended to read as follows: 
 (a) agree or consent to any change in the handling of Purchased Loans
not involving more than One Million Five Hundred Thouand Dollars ($1,500,000) of the Purchased Loans in the aggregate at any time and which in the Agent’s reasonable judgment is unlikely to have a material adverse effect on any of the Central
Elements in respect of the Seller or any of its Subsidiaries (for purposes of clarity, this allows the Agent to count as an Eligible Loan a Purchased Loan that would otherwise be disqualified because it appears on a Custodian’s Exception Report
because the Basic Papers for such Purchased Loan have been shipped to the Seller for correction or to an Approved Investor for purchase and have not been paid for or returned to the Custodian within any applicable time period specified on
Schedule DQ); 
 2.13. Buyers’ Commitments. Schedule BC to the Repurchase Agreement is amended
and restated in its entirety as set forth on Schedule BC to this Amendment. 
 2.14. Disqualifiers.
Paragraph 11 of Schedule DQ to the Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as follows: 

11. Any Purchased Loan that is listed on a Custodian’s Exception Report; provided that the Custodian may, in its sole
discretion, disregard this Disqualifier with respect to any Purchased Loan that has been listed on a Custodian’s Exception Report for 3 Business Days or less (for the avoidance of doubt, this means a Purchased Loan is subject to discrepancies,
inconsistencies or has documents that are incomplete). 
 Section 3. Conditions Precedent and Effectiveness. This
Amendment shall be effective as of the date first above written, upon the occurrence of the following events: 

3.1. delivery to the Agent of this Amendment duly executed by the Seller in a quantity sufficient that the Agent and the
Seller may each have a fully executed original of each such document; 
 3.2. delivery to the Agent of an amended
and restated Fee Letter, in form and substance satisfactory to the Agent; 
 3.3. delivery to the Agent of a
certificate of the Secretary of the Seller, or another officer of the Seller acceptable to the Agent, certifying (a) that there has been no change to the Seller’s articles of incorporation or bylaws since copies of the same were delivered
to the Agent on or about November 12, 2008; (b) that the resolutions adopted by the Seller’s board of directors on November 18, 2005, authorizing execution, delivery and performance of the credit facilities, remain in full force
and effect and that no further approval of the Seller’s board of directors is required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this amendment; and (c) as to the names, incumbency and specimen signatures of the persons
authorized to execute this Amendment on behalf of the Seller. 

  
 7 








 3.4. delivery to the Agent of such other documents as it may reasonably
request; and 
 3.5. the Agent shall have received payment of all unpaid legal fees and expenses incurred by the

4.3. Survival. The representations and warranties made by the Seller in this Amendment shall survive the execution
and delivery of this Amendment.

Documents, including the Repurchase Agreement and any and all other agreements, documents, or instruments now or hereafter executed and delivered pursuant to the terms hereof or pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement as amended hereby, is
hereby amended so that any reference in such Repurchase Document to the Repurchase Agreement refers to the Repurchase Agreement as amended and modified hereby. 
 4.5. Applicable Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. 

4.6. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the Agent, the

be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
