	1.
	 
	Amended Terms.    The Agreement is hereby amended as follows: 
 

  
 (i)    The following definitions are hereby amended to read as follows: 
  
 “Commitment Amount” shall mean $750,000,000, subject to reduction from time to time as provided herein. 

 
 “Wet-Ink Sub-Limit” shall mean an amount equal to $300,000,000. 
  
 (ii)    Section 4.04 is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
  
 4.04    Facility Fee.    (a) The Note Issuer agrees to pay to the Agent (for the account
of the Purchasers in proportion to their respective Commitment Percentages) (a) on or prior to the Effective Date a facility fee for the first year (the “Original Facility Fee”) equal to 20 basis points per annum of the Commitment
Amount, i.e., $800,000 and an additional Facility Fee (the “Increased Facility Fee” of $350,000 based upon the increase in the Commitment Amount to $750,000,000 on and as of November 21, 2002, such Increased Facility Fee to be paid
by the Note Issuer on or before November 22, 2002 and (b) on or prior to May 14, 2003, a facility fee for the second year equal to 25 basis points per annum of the Commitment Amount, i.e., $1,875,000 (such amounts at clauses (a) and (b)
together, the “Facility Fee”), except as otherwise provided in paragraph (b) below, such payment to be made in Dollars, in immediately available funds, without deduction, set-off or counterclaim, to the Agent’s Account set
forth in or pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof. In the event of any extension of the Termination Date, the Note Issuer shall pay to the Agent (for the account of the Purchasers in proportion to their respective Commitment Percentages) a Facility Fee
determined by the 

  
 Purchasers, in their sole discretion, on the date or dates specified by the
Agent by notice to the Note Issuer. 
  
 (b)  In the event of any termination of this Note Purchase

Agent shall pay the Note Issuer the Unearned Portion of the Facility Fee as set forth in Section 13.16 hereof. 
  
 (c)  The Note Issuer acknowledges that the Purchasers are entering into this facility with the understanding that the Purchasers, collectively with the Agent, expect to receive at least $4,312,500 in spread

the “Minimum Fee”. Any shortfall in such Minimum Fee for Year One will be due and owing by the Note Issuer to the Purchasers on May 15, 2003, and any shortfall in such Minimum Fee for Year Two will be due and owing by the Note Issuer to
the Purchasers on May 15, 2004. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, upon the earlier to occur of (a) the date on which the Notes are accelerated following an Event of Default, and this facility is terminated and (b) the date on which the Note
Issuer informs the Agent in writing that the Note Issuer intends to no longer utilize this facility, the entire remaining Minimum Fee shall be immediately, due and payable (e.g., if the facility terminates during Year One, and a Minimum Fee of
$2,000,000 would be due on account of Year One, that amount, plus the entire Minimum Fee for Year Two (for a total of $8,750,000) would be immediately due). 
  
 (iii) In Section 6.01(g) (“Facility Fee”), immediately after the final word “year” the following is inserted: 
  
 “; and the obligation of UBS Warburg to make any additional Note Purchases hereunder on and after November 21, 2002 shall not arise unless and until the Note Issuer
shall have paid the Increased Facility Fee, as agreed to by the parties hereto in Amendment No. 2 hereof dated as of November 21, 2002.” 
  
 (iv) A new Section 13.17 (“Confidential Information”) is hereby added as follows: 

 
 2

Information.    The Note Issuer acknowledges and agrees that the information comprised of the economic and other business and legal parameters of the financing facility provided under and pursuant to this Agreement and the
other Transaction Documents (the “Facility”), and as memorialized herein and therein, is the exclusive, confidential, proprietary and trade secret information of UBS Warburg and its Affiliates (collectively, the
“Confidential Information”); provided, however, that the Note Issuer and its Affiliates may disclose the Dollar value of the Facility (the “Releasable Information”), but not any other economic
information with respect to the Facility as any such other information is strictly Confidential Information. The Releasable Information is not Confidential Information and may be publicized verbally in business discussions or in writing in the forms
of press releases or similar printed materials. The Note Issuer may only use or disclose Confidential Information to its Affiliates or to any third party contractors if such disclosure is required in order to carry out the purposes of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents (a “Permitted Disclosure”). No other use or disclosure of the Confidential Information, in any form, to any Person may be made by the Note Issuer or any of its Affiliates for any purpose
including, without limitation, the use or disclosure of the Confidential Information in the marketing of products or services (including, but not limited to, any sale, warehousing or other hypothecation of mortgage loans). The Note Issuer
acknowledges and agrees that it has separately secured the acknowledgment and agreement of each of its Affiliates that each such Affiliate shall (1) honor and observe the obligations of the Note Issuer hereunder in such Affiliate’s dealings
with any third parties and (2) be fully responsible to UBS Warburg hereunder, in each of such cases, as fully as if each such Affiliate were a party hereto. In addition, the Note Issuer and each Affiliate shall obligate all such Persons to whom
Confidential Information is released in a Permitted Disclosure to observe and maintain the secrecy and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information without further disclosure whatsoever to any other Person. The Note Issuer and its Affiliates

	2.
	 
	Miscellaneous Acknowledgments Pertinent Hereto.    The parties further acknowledge and agree as follows: 

  

 
 3

the First Amended and Restated Promissory Note dated as of October 31, 2002 in favor of the Agent and in the face amount thereof of $750,000,000; and 
  
 (b)  that the calculations provided in Section 13.16 (“Termination”), with respect to the possible refunding to the Note Issuer of the Unearned Portion of the Facility Fee, are
exemplary only of such amounts as could have been refunded on and as of May 10, 2002 and that all such calculations are hereby and hereafter deemed to be ratably adjusted to account for the increase in the Commitment Amount hereunder. 

 

	3.
