Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

This letter (this “Third Amendment to Side Letter”) amends, for the third time, the Side Letter dated October 30, 2009 (the “Original Side Letter”) that was executed concurrently with the captioned Master Repurchase Agreement (as amended by Letter Agreement dated November 27, 2009, Amendment No. 1 to Master Repurchase Agreement dated March 11, 2010, Amendment No. 2 to Master Repurchase Agreement dated March 11, 2010, Amendment No. 3 to Master Repurchase Agreement dated July 22, 2010, Amendment No. 4 to Master Repurchase Agreement dated October 29, 2010, and Amendment No. 5 to Master Repurchase Agreement dated of even date herewith, collectively, the “Agreement”).  Reference is here made to the Original Side Letter (as previously amended by that certain Amendment No. 1 to Side Letter dated March 11, 2010, that certain Second Amendment to Side Letter dated October 29, 2010, and as amended hereby, the “Side Letter”) and the Agreement for all purposes.  Capitalized terms defined in the Side Letter or the Agreement and used but not defined differently in this Third Amendment to Side Letter have the same meanings here as in the Side Letter and the Agreement.

 

The Seller has requested, and the Buyer has agreed to make certain changes to the Side Letter.  For good and valuable consideration received by each Party from the other Party, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, effective as of the date of this Third Amendment to Side Letter, Buyer and Seller hereby amend the Side Letter as follows (paragraphs below are numbered to correspond to the number of the paragraph in the Original Side Letter and consequently are sometimes numbered nonsequentially):
