The Lender and the Borrower desire to amend certain provisions of the Agreement to reduce the amount of the Commitment in accordance with Section 2.03 of the Agreement and to change the interest rate and fees payable in connection with the Loans, as more particularly described below. Accordingly, it is hereby agreed by the Lender and the Borrower, effective as of the Effective Date (as defined below), as follows: A. REDUCTION OF COMMITMENT 1. Amendment of "Maximum Credit Limit." The definition of "Maximum Credit Limits" contained in Section 1.01 of the Agreement is deleted and the following substituted therefor: "Maximum Credit Limit" means, Sixteen Million Dollars ($16,000,000), as such amount may be reduced in accordance with Section 2.03." 2. Note. The first sentence of Section 2.06 of the Agreement is deleted and following sentence substituted therefor: All Loans made by the Lender under this Agreement shall be evidenced by, and repaid with interest in accordance with, a single promissory note of the Borrower in substantially the form of Exhibit A duly completed, in the original principal amount equal to the Maximum Credit Limit, payable to the Lender, and maturing as to principal on the Termination Date (the "Note"). Mr. Douglas E. Jones November 1, 1994 Page 2 of 5 B. AMENDMENT OF INTEREST AND FEES: 1. Deletion of "Certified Loans." The definition of "Certified Loans" contained in Section 1.01 of the Agreement is deleted and the following substituted therefor in the proper alphabetical order: "Shipped Loans" means Loans made in respect of Mortgage Loans for which the Collateral Custodian has certified in the applicable Borrowing Base Certificate that such Mortgage Loans have been shipped to a Qualified Investor under a Purchase Commitment or Agency Commitment. 2.
