Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 25, 2008, our wholly-owned subsidiary, RCC Real Estate SPE 3, LLC, which we refer to as SPE 3, entered into a Second Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement with Natixis Real Estate Capital, Inc., amending the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of April 12, 2007 between the parties as theretofore amended by the First Amendment to Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of September 25, 2008. Pursuant to the Second Amendment:
| · | The registrant repaid $41.5 million of amounts outstanding under the facility. |
| · | The maximum facility amount was maintained at $100.0 million, reducing on October 18, 2009 to the amounts then outstanding on the facility. |
| · | Further repurchase transactions under the facility may be made subject to Natixis’ sole discretion. |
| · | The repurchase prices for assets remaining subject to the facility on November 25, 2008, referred to as the Existing Assets, were set at an aggregate of $17.0 million. Premiums over the new repurchase prices are required for early repurchase by SPE 3 of the Existing Assets; however, the premiums will reduce the repurchase price of the remaining Existing Assets. |
| · | SPE 3’s obligation to pay non-usage fees was terminated. |
| · | The provision permitting SPE 3 to defer its repurchase obligations for 12 months after the stated April 18, 2010 repurchase date was terminated. |
The Second Amendment also modified the method under which the amount of margin maintenance SPE 3 is required to provide is calculated and terminated the revolving cash withdrawal feature of the facility.
