New Loan and Security Agreement with Nomura

On April 10, 2015, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Nomura Corporate Funding Americas, LLC (“Nomura”). The purpose of the Loan Agreement is to finance our beneficial ownership of REO properties. These obligations are fully guaranteed pursuant to a guaranty (the “Guaranty”) made by us in favor of Nomura. The Loan Agreement terminates on April 8, 2016.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, subject to certain conditions, Nomura may advance funds to us from time to time, with such advances collateralized by REO properties. The maximum aggregate advance for the REO properties under the Loan Agreement is $100.0 million, subject to certain sublimits, eligibility requirements and conditions precedent to each funding.

The advances paid by Nomura under the Loan Agreement with respect to the REO properties from time to time will be based on a percentage of the market value of the applicable REO properties. Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, we are required to pay to Nomura interest based on the one-month LIBOR plus a spread and certain other customary fees, administrative costs and expenses in connection with Nomura's structuring, management and ongoing administration of the Loan Agreement. The Loan Agreement requires us to maintain various standard financial and other covenants.

In addition, the Loan Agreement contains events of default (subject to certain materiality thresholds and grace periods), including payment defaults, breaches of covenants and/or certain representations and warranties, cross-defaults, certain material adverse changes, bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings and other events of default customary for this type of transaction. The remedies for such events of default are also customary for this type of transaction and include the acceleration of the principal amount outstanding under the Loan Agreement and the liquidation by Nomura of the REO properties then subject to the Loan Agreement.

Amended and Restated Repurchase Agreement with CS

On April 20, 2015, we entered into an Amended and Restated Master Repurchase Agreement with CS. The CS Repurchase Agreement, as amended and restated, increases the aggregate maximum funding capacity to finance the purchase and beneficial ownership of non-performing, re-performing and performing mortgage loans and REO properties from $225.0 million to $275.0 million, and also increases the sublimit for REO properties that can be financed on the facility.

The obligations of our subsidiaries continue to be fully guaranteed by us pursuant to an amended and restated guaranty (the “Amended Guaranty”) made in favor of CS. As amended and restated, the Repurchase Agreement has been extended to mature on April 21, 2016.

All other material terms and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement remain the same as the original repurchase agreement in all material respects.
