                  The Buyer, the Seller and the Guarantors are parties to that

                  The Buyer, the Seller and the Guarantors have agreed, subject
to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, that the Existing Repurchase
Agreement be amended to reflect certain agreed upon revisions to the terms of

Existing Master Repurchase Agreement, the Buyer has required the Guarantors to
ratify and affirm the Guaranty on the date hereof.

                  Accordingly, the Buyer, the Seller and each Guarantor hereby
agree, in consideration of the mutual premises and mutual obligations set forth
herein, that the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended, and the
Guaranty is hereby ratified and affirmed, as follows:

Section 1. Additional Increased Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price Period. For
purposes of this Amendment, this Section 1 will be effective only during the
Additional Increased Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price Period (as defined below).

                  1.1 Definitions.

                  (a) Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby
         temporarily amended by adding the following defined terms, which
         amendment shall be effective solely during the Additional Increased
         Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price Period (as defined below):

                  "Additional Increased Aggregate Purchase Price" means TEN
MILLION DOLLARS ($10,000,000).
<PAGE>
                  "Additional Increased Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price Period"
shall mean the period beginning on September 17, 2003 through and including
September 27, 2003.

                  "Additional Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loan" means a
Mortgage Loan which is purchased with the proceeds of the Additional Increased
Aggregate Purchase Price. Any Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction will first
be attributed to the Standard Aggregate Purchase Price, and then the Increased
Aggregate Purchase Price prior to any Mortgage Loans being attributed to the
Additional Increased Aggregate Purchase Price. To the extent that funds are no
longer available under the Standard Aggregate Purchase Price and the Increased
Aggregate Purchase Price, any further Mortgage Loans subject to a Transaction
will be considered Additional Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans. For
purposes of this Agreement, Mortgage Loans will be allocated first to the
Standard Aggregate Purchase Price and Additional Aggregate Purchase Price based
on the date on which such Mortgage Loan becomes subject to this Agreement,
commencing from the earliest date to the most recent date.

                  (b) Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby
         temporarily amended by deleting the definition of "Purchase Price" in
         its entirety and replacing it with the following language, which
         amendment shall be effective solely during the Additional Increased
         Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price Period:

                  "Purchase Price" means the price at which each Purchased
Mortgage Loan is transferred by a Seller to Buyer, which shall equal:

                  (i) on the Purchase Date, in the case of Purchased Mortgage
         Loans which are Jumbo Mortgage Loans, Conforming Mortgage Loans or
         Alt-A Mortgage Loans (in all cases, other than Increased Purchase Price
         Mortgage Loans or Additional Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans),
         the lesser of either: (x) the product of (1) the Market Value of such
         Purchased Mortgage Loan multiplied by (2) the applicable Purchase Price
         Percentage for such Mortgage Loan or (y) the outstanding principal
         amount thereof as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (ii) on the Purchase Date, in the case of Purchased Mortgage
         Loans which are Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans which are Jumbo
         Mortgage Loans, Conforming Mortgage Loans or Alt-A Mortgage Loans, the
         lesser of either: (x) the product of (1) the Market Value of such
         Purchased Mortgage Loan multiplied by (2) the applicable Purchase Price
         Percentage for such Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loan or (y) the
         product of (1) the applicable Purchase Price Percentage of such
         Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loan multiplied by (2) the
         outstanding principal amount thereof as set forth on the related
         Mortgage Loan Schedule;

                  (iii) on the Purchase Date, in the case of Purchased Mortgage
         Loans which are Additional Increased Purchased Mortgage Loans which are
         Jumbo Mortgage Loans, Conforming Mortgage Loans or Alt-A Mortgage
         Loans, the lesser of either: (x) the product of (1) the Market Value of

         Price Percentage for such Mortgage Loan or (y) the outstanding
         principal amount thereof as set forth on the related Mortgage Loan
         Schedule;

                                       2
<PAGE>
                  (iv) on the Purchase Date, in the case of Purchased Mortgage
         Loans which are Second Lien Mortgage Loans the lesser of either (i) (x)
         with respect to Mortgage Loans, Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans
         or Additional Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans (other than
         Preferred Committed Mortgage Loans) the product of (1) the outstanding
         principal amount thereof as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule
         multiplied by (2) the applicable Purchase Price Percentage for such
         Mortgage Loan and (y) with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans which
         are Preferred Committed Mortgage Loans (in all cases, other than
         Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans or Additional Increased
         Purchase Price Mortgage Loans), the outstanding principal amount
         thereof as set forth in the Mortgage Loan Schedule or (ii) the product
         of (1) the Market Value of such Purchased Mortgage Loan multiplied by
         (2) the applicable Purchase Price Percentage for such Mortgage Loan;

                  on any day after the Purchase Date, except where Buyer and the
Seller agree otherwise, the amount determined under the immediately preceding
clauses (i) or (ii) decreased by the amount of any cash transferred by the
Seller to Buyer pursuant to Section 4(c) hereof or applied to reduce the
Seller's obligations under clause (ii) of Section 4(b) hereof or under Section 6
hereof.

                  (c) Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby
         temporarily amended by deleting the definition of "Maximum Aggregate
         Purchase Price" in its entirety and replacing it with the following
         language, which amendment shall be effective solely during the
         Additional Increased Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price Period:

                  "Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price" means the sum of (a) the
Standard Aggregate Purchase Price plus (b) the Increased Aggregate Purchase
Price plus (c) the Additional Increased Aggregate Purchase Price, which shall
equal ONE HUNDRED TEN MILLION DOLLARS ($110,000,000). All funds made available
by Buyer to Seller under this Agreement will first be attributed to the Standard
Aggregate Purchase Price. To the extent that funds are no longer available under
the Standard Aggregate Purchase Price, any further funds made available by Buyer
to Seller under this Agreement shall be attributed to the Increased Aggregate
Purchase Price. To the extent that funds are no longer available under the
Increased Aggregate Purchase Price, any further funds made available by Buyer to
Seller under this Agreement shall be attributed to the Additional Increased
Aggregate Purchase Price.

                  (d) Section 2 of the Existing Repurchase Agreement is hereby
         temporarily amended by deleting the definition of "Purchase Price
         Percentage" in its entirety and replacing it with the following
         language, which amendment shall be effective solely during the
         Additional Increased Maximum Aggregate Purchase Price Period:

                  "Purchase Price Percentage" means,

                  (1) with respect to each Mortgage Loan which is not an
Additional Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loan, the following percentage, as
applicable:

                  (a) 98% with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans that are Alt
A Mortgage Loans (including Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans);

<PAGE>
                  (b) 98% with respect to Purchased Mortgage Loans that are
Jumbo Mortgage Loans (including Increased Purchase Price Mortgage Loans);

                  (c) 98% with respect to Transactions the subject of which are
first lien Conforming Mortgage Loans (including Increased Purchase Price
Mortgage Loans);

                  (d) 96% with respect to Transactions the subject of which are
