(f) Article 14(c) of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“ (c) Increased Costs. If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall subject Buyer or any Transferee to any Taxes (other than (A) Indemnified Taxes, (B) Taxes described in clauses (b) through (d) of the definition of Excluded Taxes and (C) Connection Income Taxes) on its loans, loan principal, letters of credit, commitments, or other obligation, or its deposits, reserves, other liabilities or capital attributable thereto;
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any Reserve Requirements, other reserves, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer that is not otherwise included in the determination of the Benchmark hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an amount that Buyer deems, in the exercise of its reasonable business judgment, to be material, of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall promptly pay Buyer, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable; provided, however, that any such determination by Buyer and imposition of such increased costs shall be applied to all sellers under similar repurchase facilities with Buyer. Such notification as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be prima facie evidence of such additional amounts. This covenant shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Assets.”
(g) The following is hereby added to Exhibit III-A of the Master Repurchase Agreement as a sixth bullet:
“ • The floating rate benchmark or index used to determine interest payments in respect of such Purchased Asset for the preceding calendar month.”
2. Exercise of Renewal Option. Buyer and Seller acknowledge and agree that pursuant to the terms of this Amendment Seller has exercised its second and final Renewal Option under Article 3(i)(ii) of the Master Repurchase Agreement and Seller has no further Renewal Options available under Article 3(i)(ii) of the Master Repurchase Agreement.
3. Effectiveness. The effectiveness of this Amendment is subject to receipt by Buyer of the following:
(a) Amendment. This Amendment, duly executed and delivered by Seller, Buyer and Guarantor.
(b) Fees. Payment by Seller to Buyer of (i) the Renewal Period Fee on or prior to May 31, 2020 and (ii) the actual costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to Buyer, incurred by Buyer in connection with this Amendment and the transactions contemplated hereby.
