 The Servicer is hereby authorized to enter into a facility (such an arrangement, an “Advance Facility”) with any Person which provides that such
Person (an “Advancing Person”) may fund Delinquency Advances and/or Servicing Advances under this Agreement, although no such facility shall reduce or otherwise affect the Servicer’s obligation to fund such Delinquency Advances and/or
Servicing Advances. 
 2. Effect of Amendment. This Amendment to the Agreement shall be effective and the Agreement shall be deemed to
be modified and amended in accordance herewith upon the occurrence of the receipt by the Indenture Trustee of an Opinion of Counsel that this Amendment does not adversely affect in any material respect the interests of any Noteholder or the Swap

being characterized as debt for United States federal income tax purposes or cause the Issuer to be subject to federal income tax. This Amendment, once
effective, shall be effective as of the date first set forth above. The Indenture Trustee shall give prompt written notice to the Rating Agencies and the Swap Provider of this Amendment pursuant to Section 10.03(a) of the Agreement. The

subject in all respects to such modifications and amendments, and all the terms and conditions of this Amendment shall be and be deemed to be part of the terms and conditions of the Agreement for any and all purposes. The Agreement, as amended
hereby, is hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects. 
 4. The Agreement in Full Force and Effect as Amended. Except as
specifically amended hereby, all the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and, except as expressly provided herein, the effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as, or constitute a waiver or
modification of, any right, power or remedy of any party to the Agreement. All references to the Agreement in any other document or instrument shall be deemed to mean the Agreement as amended by this Amendment.

made and to be performed therein.
