1.AMENDMENTS TO THE EXISTING AGREEMENT

 

1.1Section 2.5(a)(i) of the Existing Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:

 

(i) Notwithstanding anything contained herein or in any Loan Sale Agreement, Bank shall retain the Eligible Required Retention Loans allocated to Bank in accordance with the Allocation Method (each, a “Required Retained Loan” and, collectively, the “Required Retained Loans”), provided that Bank shall not be required to retain any Loans if the retention by Bank of any such Loan (A) would cause the Original Principal Balance of such Loan, when added to the aggregate sum of the Original Principal Balance of all other Required Retained Loans approved in the same calendar month, to exceed the Maximum Monthly Retention Amount (as defined in Exhibit A) for such calendar month, (B) would cause the Original Principal Balance of such Loan, when added to the aggregate sum of the Original Principal Balance of all other Required Retained Loans approved in the same calendar quarter, to exceed the Maximum Quarterly Retention Amount (as defined in Exhibit A) for such calendar quarter, (C) would cause the Original Principal Balance of such Loan, when added to the aggregate sum of the outstanding principal balances of all other Required Retained Loans, to exceed the Maximum Outstanding Retention Amount (as defined in Exhibit A), (D) would cause the Original Principal Balance of such Loan, when added to the aggregate sum of the outstanding principal balances of all other Required Retained Loans, to exceed the Required Retained Loans Interest Only Limit, (E) would cause the Original Principal Balance of such Loan, when added to the aggregate sum of the Original Principal Balance of all other Required Retained Loans having an original tenor of twenty (20) years and approved in the same calendar month, to exceed the Maximum Monthly 20 Year Loan Product Retention Percentage (as defined in Exhibit A) for such calendar month or (F) would cause the Original Principal Balance of such Loan having an original tenor of twenty (20) years, when added to the aggregate sum of the outstanding principal balances of all other Required Retained Loans, to exceed the Maximum Outstanding 20 Year Loan Product Retention Percentage (as defined in Exhibit A).
