 WHEREAS, Seller has requested that the Facility Termination Date be
extended to January 26, 2022 and has requested that Buyer increase the Facility Amount; and

Buyer’s sole discretion, and in any case shall be approved only if (i) no Default, Event of Default or Margin Deficit shall exist on the date of Seller’s request to extend or on the Facility Termination Date, (ii) all
representations and warranties in this Agreement shall be true, correct, complete and accurate in all respects as of the Facility Termination Date (except such representations which by their terms speak as of a specified date and subject to any
exceptions disclosed to Buyer in an Exception Report prior to such date and approved by Buyer), and (iii) on or before the Facility Termination Date, Seller shall have paid the Extension Fee to Buyer. 

(g) Exhibit I of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby replaced with Exhibit A hereof.
