(c)                                  Section 7 (Cost of Carry) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting such paragraph in its entirety and replacing it with the following:

 

An amount equal to the “cost of carry” imputed to Citigroup in connection with any Asset purchased under the Purchase Agreement and held by Seller equal to the product of (x) the sum of (a) the Original Purchase Price for such Asset as reduced monthly by remittances of principal on the Asset received by Citigroup and (b) any and all Reimbursement Amounts incurred by Citigroup (other than the Cost of Carry) with respect to such Asset and (y) LIBOR plus *** (***) basis points per annum.

Reference to this Amendment need not be made in the Agreement or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to, or with respect to, the Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Agreement as amended hereby.  This Amendment Number One shall apply to all Assets subject to the Agreement notwithstanding that any such Assets were sold to the Purchaser prior to the date of this Amendment Number One.
