FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED 
MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT
THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO AMENDED AND RESTATED MASTER REPURCHASE AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of September 24, 2020, is made and entered into between and among HomeAmerican Mortgage Corporation, a Colorado corporation (the “Seller”), and U.S. Bank National Association, as administrative agent and representative of itself as a Buyer and the other Buyers (in such capacity, the “Agent”) and as a Buyer (in such capacity, “U.S. Bank”).
RECITALS:
A.    The Seller, U.S. Bank, and the Agent are parties to an Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of September 16, 2016 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of August 10, 2017, that certain Second Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of August 9, 2018, that certain Third Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of May 23, 2019, that certain Fourth Amendment to Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of May 21, 2020, and as further amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Repurchase Agreement”).  
B.    The Seller and the Agent now desire to amend certain provisions of the Repurchase Agreement as set forth herein.
AGREEMENT:
In consideration of the premises herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
Section 1.    Definitions.  Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings specified in the Repurchase Agreement.
Section 2.    Amendments.  
2.1.    The Buyers’ Commitments to Purchase. Section 2.1 of the Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows: 
2.1    The Buyers’ Commitments to Purchase. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and provided no Default or Event of Default has occurred that the Agent has not declared in writing to have been cured or waived (or, if one has occurred and not been so declared cured or waived, if all of the Buyers, in their sole discretion and with or without waiving such Default or Event of Default, have elected in writing that Transactions under this Agreement shall continue nonetheless), the Buyers agree to make revolving purchases of Eligible Loans on a servicing released basis through and including the Termination Date, so long as the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price does not exceed the 

Maximum Aggregate Commitment and so long as each Buyer’s Committed Sum is not exceeded.  The Buyers’ respective Committed Sums and the Maximum Aggregate Commitment are set forth on Schedule BC in effect at the relevant time, as it may have been amended or restated pursuant to this Agreement. Upon any reduction of the Buyers’ respective Committed Sums and the Maximum Aggregate Commitment as set forth on Schedule BC, the Seller shall, to the extent required, reduce the Aggregate Outstanding Purchase Price to the amount of the Maximum Aggregate Commitment as then in effect, and the ownership interests in the Purchased Loans of each Buyer shall automatically be adjusted accordingly. Upon the joinder of additional Buyer(s), if any, the parties agree to approve in writing revised and updated versions of Schedule BC.  The fractions to be applied to determine the respective Funding Shares of the Buyers for any day are their respective Committed Sums divided by the Maximum Aggregate Commitment for that day.  Each Buyer shall be obligated to fund only that Buyer’s own Funding Share of any Transaction requested, and no Buyer shall be obligated to the Seller or any other Buyer to fund a greater share of any Transaction.  No Buyer shall be excused from funding its applicable Funding Share of any Transaction merely because any other Buyer has failed or refused to fund its relevant Funding Share of that or any other Transaction.  If any Buyer fails to fund its Funding Share of any Transaction, the Agent (in its sole and absolute discretion) may choose to fund the amount that such Nonfunding Buyer failed or refused to fund, or the Agent as a Buyer and the other Buyers who are willing to do so shall have the right (but no obligation) to do so in the proportion that the Committed Sum of each bears to the total Committed Sums of all Buyers that have funded (or are funding) their own Funding Shares of that Transaction and that are willing to fund part of the Funding Share of such Nonfunding Buyer.  Should the Agent and/or any other Buyer(s) fund any or all of the Nonfunding Buyer’s Funding Share of any Transaction, then the Nonfunding Buyer shall have the obligation to deliver such amount to the Agent (for distribution to the Buyer(s) who funded it) in immediately available funds on the next Business Day.  Regardless of whether the other Buyers fund the Funding Share of the Nonfunding Buyer, the respective ownership interests of the Buyers in the Transaction shall be adjusted as provided in Section 3.9.  The obligations of the Buyers hereunder are several and not joint.
2.2.    Adjusted Tangible Net Worth Ratio. Section 17.13 of the Repurchase Agreement is amended by deleting the reference to “8.0 to 1.0” therein and inserting in its place “10.0 to 1.0”. 
2.3.    Annex A to Officer’s Certificate. Annex A to Exhibit C of the Repurchase Agreement is amended by deleting the reference to “8.0:1.0” therein and inserting in its place “10.0:1.0”.
2.4.    Schedule BC. Schedule BC to the Repurchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety as set forth on Schedule BC hereto.

Section 3.    Conditions Precedent and Effectiveness.  This Amendment shall be effective as of the date first above written, upon the occurrence of the following events:

The terms and provisions of this Amendment shall modify and supersede all inconsistent terms and provisions of the Repurchase Agreement and the other Repurchase Documents, and, except as expressly modified and superseded by this Amendment, the terms and provisions of the Repurchase Agreement and each other Repurchase Document are ratified and confirmed and shall continue in full force and effect.  
4.2.    Seller Representations and Warranties.  The Seller hereby represents and warrants that (a) the representations and warranties in Article 15 of the Repurchase Agreement and in the other Repurchase Documents are true and correct in all material respects with the same force and effect on and as of the date hereof as though made as of the date hereof, and (b) after giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing.
4.3.    Survival.  The representations and warranties made by the Seller in this Amendment shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment.
4.4.    Reference to Repurchase Agreement.  Each of the Repurchase Documents, including the Repurchase Agreement and any and all other agreements, documents, or instruments now or hereafter executed and delivered pursuant to the terms hereof or pursuant to the terms of the Repurchase Agreement as amended hereby, is hereby amended so that any reference in such Repurchase Document to the Repurchase Agreement refers to the Repurchase Agreement as amended and modified hereby.

4.7.    Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which when taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
4.8.    Headings.  The headings, captions, and arrangements used in this Amendment are for convenience only and shall not affect the interpretation of this Amendment.
4.9.    ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

WHEREAS, Executive and DCL previously entered into the Employment Agreement,  which sets forth the terms and conditions of Executive’s employment with DCL;                 WHEREAS, DCL and Executive desire to modify the term of the Employment  Agreement and make certain other changes, as described below.              NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants set forth in   this Amendment, the parties hereby agree to amend the Employment Agreement as follows:         1. Term of Employment.  The following sentence is hereby added to the end of Section         II(A):                    A.    By agreement of the parties, the term of employment shall be extended and                  end on April 1, 2024 (the initial and renewal terms are referred to as the                  “Term of Employment”).       2. In Section II(B), the reference to “the fourth anniversary of Executive’s first day of        employment” shall be replaced with “April 1, 2024”.               3. Compensation. Section III(A), (B) and (D) are hereby deleted in their entirety and         replaced with the following language:               A.  Base Salary.  Company agrees to provide Executive with an annual base                  salary of ONE MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS                 (USD$1,700,000.00).  Effective January 1, 2021, this sum will be paid over                 the course of twelve (12) months, in increments paid on regular Company                 paydays, less such sums as the law requires Company to deduct or withhold.                   Executive shall not be eligible for a merit increase in March 2021 for the 2020                  performance review cycle.  Beginning in 2022, Executive’s future salary                  increases will be reviewed and decided in accordance with Company’s                  standard practices and procedures as applied to similarly-situated senior                  executives of Company, but in no event may Executive’s base salary be                  reduced.               B.  Bonus/Incentive Payment.  In addition to the base salary paid to Executive                  pursuant to Section III(A), effective January 1, 2021, Executive shall be                  eligible for an annual incentive payment target of one-hundred fifty percent                  (150%) of his base salary.  The portion of the incentive payment to be                  received by Executive will be determined in accordance with Company’s 

 

                                                         EXECUTION COPY                                                                                                          applicable incentive or bonus plan in effect at that time (e.g., subject to              reduction for Company under-performance and increase for Company over-             performance) and will be paid in the accordance with the applicable incentive              or bonus plan.           C.   [intentionally omitted – no change to Employment Agreement]                        D.  Equity Program. Beginning in 2021, Executive will be considered for annual              equity awards under Company’s standard process for similarly-situated senior              executives, which includes an annual market review of the target value of              equity awards.  For 2021, the Compensation Committee has reviewed the             appropriate annual equity target for Executive for the annual award to be made in             Q1 2021 and has determined that the target value shall be FOUR MILLION              DOLLARS (USD$4,000,000.00) and Executive shall be recommended for an             award of that target value in the annual equity cycle in Q1 2021.  The equity             instruments, terms and conditions, and calculation of number of units shall be             based on Company’s standard practices and procedures for awards to senior             executives at Executive’s level.   4. Controlling Law and Additional Covenants.  In Section VIII(A), the reference to     “Maryland” shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with “New York”.   5. Effect on Employment Agreement. Except with respect to the subject matters covered     herein, this Amendment does not otherwise amend, supplement, modify, or terminate the     Employment Agreement, which remains in full force and effect.
