Data Record”), (ii) delivering to Bank of America or its
designee the applicable collateral documents (as set forth in
Exhibit D , the “Collateral Documents”) and
(iii) commit the loan to Bank of America as evidenced by a
Bank of America commitment number applicable to the respective EPP
Loan. It shall be the responsibility of Seller to notify Bank of
America of any loan, including any Repurchase Loan that Seller
intends to offer to sell to Bank of America under the Early

|
Loan Purchase
Agreement and the Guide (collectively, the "Program Agreements"),
which such determination shall be made by Bank of America in its
sole and reasonable discretion, Bank of America shall purchase such
EPP Loan on a date to be agreed upon by Bank of America and Seller
or, if the EPP Loan has not yet closed, on the closing date of such
EPP Loan (either, the "Purchase Date"). Seller expressly
understands and agrees that the information required in the
Collateral Data Record and the method for delivery of the
Collateral Data Record to Bank of America may be changed from time
to time by Bank of America in its sole discretion.

Calculation of
the Purchase Price and Fees.
|
|
|
(a)
|
Initial
Purchase Price . As
consideration for each EPP Loan to be purchased hereunder, Bank of
America shall pay to Seller, on or before the Purchase Date, a
portion of the estimated Final Purchase Price (as defined below)
(such portion of the estimated Final Purchase Price, the
“Initial Purchase Price”). The Initial Purchase Price
shall be equal to the lesser of (A) the product of the unpaid
principal balance of the EPP Loan multiplied by the lesser of
(i) the Initial Purchase Price Percentage (as defined below),
(ii) par, or (iii) the estimated Final Purchase Price
Percentage (as defined below) or (B) the product of the unpaid
principal balance of the EPP Loan multiplied by ninety eight
percent (98%) of the estimated Final Purchase Price Percentage
of the EPP Loan. Bank of America shall pay the Initial Purchase
Price to Seller in accordance with the instructions set forth in
Exhibit C . It is understood and agreed that the Initial
Purchase Price, being a portion of the estimated Final Purchase
Price, includes a holdback amount to account for Bank of
America’s post purchase review and confirmation that the EPP
Loan fully complies with Bank of America’s requirements and
may include as a holdback certain other normal and customary
adjustments, fees and/or discounts made by or owed to Bank of
America with respect to the EPP Loan under the Program
Agreements.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Initial
Purchase Price Percentage . The
Initial Purchase Price Percentage shall be that percentage as set
forth on Exhibit A or as may be adjusted by Bank of America
hereafter in accordance with this Addendum. In addition to any
other remedies afforded Bank of America, Bank of America may reduce
the Initial Purchase Price Percentage in the event of
Seller’s breach of its obligations under the Program
Agreements. Further, Bank of America may, from time to time, reduce
the Initial Purchase Price Percentage to account for any changes in
Seller’s financial condition and/or changes in general market
conditions, which, in either case, Bank of America determines are
material changes.
|
|
|
(c)
|
Recalculation
of Initial Purchase Price During Review Period
. If,
at any time during the Review Period (as defined below),
(i) Bank of America reasonably determines that the loan
characteristics of an EPP Loan are different than those originally
represented by Seller and Bank of America reduces the Final
Purchase Price Percentage for such EPP Loan, (ii) the Final
Purchase Price Percentage for any EPP Loan contained in any
Assignment of Trade or Commitment applicable to such EPP Loan is
reduced as permitted therein or (iii) any Assignment of Trade
or Commitment applicable to any EPP Loan is cancelled as permitted
therein and a new Assignment of Trade or Commitment is entered into
by Bank of America and Seller with respect to such EPP Loan and the
Final Purchase Price Percentage for such EPP Loan is reduced in the
new Assignment of Trade or Commitment, notwithstanding anything
contained herein to the contrary, Bank of America shall have the
right to recalculate the Initial Purchase Price paid for the
related EPP Loan pursuant to subsection (a) above to account
for any such reductions. Further, if an Assignment of Trade or
Commitment is cancelled during the Review Period and a new
Assignment of Trade or Commitment is not entered into by Bank of
America and Seller with respect to any EPP Loan, Bank of America
shall have the right to determine the Final Purchase Price
Percentage of the EPP Loan and recalculate the Initial Purchase
Price pursuant to subsection (a) above based on its
determination of the Final Purchase Price Percentage of the EPP
Loan. In determining the Final Purchase Price Percentage of any EPP
Loan as permitted in the foregoing sentence, Bank of America shall
base its determination of the Final Purchase Price Percentage on
the current market value of the EPP Loan and use reasonable
industry standards to determine the current market value of the EPP
Loan and shall provide Seller with at least one (1) Business
Day prior notice of any such determination of the Final Purchase
Price Percentage.

|
|
If any
recalculated Initial Purchase Price for any EPP Loan as permitted
herein is less than the original Initial Purchase Price paid by
Bank of America to Seller for such EPP Loan, Seller shall, at Bank
of America’s sole option, immediately refund to Bank of
America the difference between the original Initial Purchase Price
and the recalculated Initial Purchase Price. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Bank of America shall be entitled to deduct from the
Over/Under Account any such amounts required to be refunded by
Seller to Bank of America hereunder. Further, at the request of
Seller, and to the extent such documentation exists, Bank of
America shall provide Seller with all documentation reasonably
related to and supporting such determination of the Final Purchase
Price Percentage.
|
|
|
(d)
|
Final Purchase
Price . Upon
Bank of America’s review of the EPP Loan and the completion
of the related Review Period (as defined below), Bank of America
shall determine the Final Purchase Price Percentage and Final
Purchase Price of the related EPP Loan. The Final Purchase Price
shall be an SRP Enhancement (as defined below). The SRP Enhancement
shall be equal to the product of (A) the difference between
(i) the annual note rate of the EPP Loan and (ii) the SRP
Enhancement Percent set forth in Exhibit A attached hereto
plus the one month LIBOR rate multiplied by (B) the unpaid
principal balance of the EPP Loan (the “SRP
Enhancement”). The EPP SRP Enhancement shall not be
applicable for Specialty ARM’s (non-conforming PayOption
ARM’s) unless as otherwise provided in the Addendum. The SRP
Enhancement shall be calculated for the period commencing on the
Purchase Date and ending on the completion of the Review Period.
The difference between the Initial Purchase Price and the Final
Purchase Price, if any, shall be debited or credited, as
applicable, by Bank of America to the Over/Under Account in
accordance with Section 4 hereof.
|
|
|
(e)
|
Final Purchase
Price Percentage . The
Final Purchase Price Percentage shall be the estimated Final
Purchase Price Percentage at the time the EPP Loan was sold to Bank
of America, less any adjustments made thereto by Bank of America as
permitted by the Program Agreements. In addition to any other
remedies afforded Bank of America, Bank of America may require
Seller to repurchase such EPP Loan or Seller and Bank of America
may negotiate a revised price based on current market conditions in
the event of Seller’s breach of its obligations under the
Program Agreements. Further, Bank of America may require Seller to
repurchase an EPP Loan or Seller and Bank of America may negotiate
a revised price based on current market conditions for any changes
in Seller’s financial condition and/or changes in general
market conditions, which, in either case, Bank of America
determines are material changes.
|
|
|
(f)
|
Fees
. Bank
of America shall charge, and Seller shall be obligated to pay, in
addition to any other fees applicable under the Program Agreements,
a File Fee and a Disbursement Fee in connection with each EPP Loan
purchased pursuant to this Addendum. The current amounts of these
fees, as well as the current amounts of any other fees which are
applicable under the Early Purchase Program, are set forth in
Exhibit J . All fees under the Early Purchase Program, as
set forth on Exhibit J , may be deducted by Bank of America
from the Over/Under Account.

|
|
(a)
|
Over/Under
Account; Minimum Balance; Failure to Maintain Minimum
Balance . For purposes
of this Addendum, Seller shall at all times maintain a balance in
an account to be established and managed by Bank of America (the
“Over/Under Account”). The minimum balance in the
Over/Under Account shall, at all times, be at least equal to the
amount set forth in Exhibit J (the “Minimum
Balance”). To the extent Seller is required to maintain a
similar balance under the terms of the Repurchase Agreement, any
such balance maintained by Seller under the terms of the Repurchase
Agreement shall be credited against the amount required to be
maintained by Seller hereunder. Unless otherwise agreed to by Bank
of America, and except as otherwise provided in the immediately
preceding sentence, the Minimum Balance requirements of Seller with
respect to the Over/Under Account as required under this Addendum
shall not affect in any way the obligations of Seller to maintain a
similar account and balance under any other agreement with Bank of
America, its parent, subsidiaries and/or affiliates, including,
without limitation, the minimum amount of the Over/Under Account
required to be maintained by Seller with Bank of America. Bank of
America shall not be required to segregate and hold funds deposited
by or on behalf of Seller in the Over/Under Account separate and
apart from Bank of America’s own funds or funds deposited by
or held for others. In the event Seller fails to maintain the
Minimum Balance in the Over/Under Account at any time, in addition
to any other rights and remedies of Bank of America, Seller shall
be obligated to pay Bank of America interest on any shortfall
amount at the rate specified in Exhibit J for as long as the
Minimum Balance fails to be maintained.
|
|
|
(b)
|
Offsets
. Notwithstanding
the foregoing or anything to the contrary herein or hereafter,
Seller expressly acknowledges and agrees that Bank of America is
entitled to withdraw or debit from the Over/Under Account, or
offset against any amounts owed by Bank of America to Seller, any
amounts owed by Seller to Bank of America under this
Addendum.
|
|
|
(i)
|
Seller
. If,
at any time, the Over/Under Account balance exceeds the Minimum
Balance, and the outstanding balance of EPP Loans for which the
Review Period has not completed does not exceed any of the loan
limits set forth in Section 7(f) , Seller shall be
entitled to the return of all amounts in excess of the Minimum
Balance. Bank of America shall wire transfer all such requested
excess amounts to Seller from the Over/Under Account not later than
one (1) business day after receipt of written notice
(facsimile and e-mail notices are acceptable for this purpose)
thereof by Bank of America. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Bank of
America shall not be required to return such portion of such excess
amounts that Bank of America has determined, in its sole and
reasonable discretion, is required to be retained in the Over/Under
Account in furtherance of this Addendum and/or the Program
Agreements.
|
|
|
(ii)
|
Bank of
America . Bank
of America may withdraw funds from the Over/Under Account as

accordance with this Addendum.

Return of
Over/Under Account Balance Upon Termination . Upon
termination of this Addendum, Bank of America shall return the
Over/Under Account balance to Seller in accordance with the terms
and conditions of the Repurchase Agreement.

Defective
Collateral Documents; Delivery of Acceptable Collateral
Documents .
Each
delivery of Collateral Documents must be accompanied with a
description of the Collateral Documents in a form acceptable to
Bank of America. In the event Bank of America determines that one
or more of the Collateral Documents related to any EPP Loan is
incorrect, deficient or otherwise unacceptable (any such Collateral
Document, a “Defective Collateral Document”), Seller
shall correct such Defective Collateral Document in a manner
acceptable to Bank of America and deliver the same to Bank of
America. If, after the Purchase Date related to any EPP Loan, Bank
of America determines, in its sole and good faith discretion, that
there exists one or more Defective Collateral Documents

to such EPP
Loan, (a) Seller shall pay Bank of America a Late Document Fee
as set forth in Exhibit J for each day thereafter until such
documents are corrected by Seller and delivered to Bank of America
and determined by Bank of America, in its sole and good faith
discretion, to be acceptable, which such determination shall be
made by Bank of America in its sole and reasonable discretion,
(b) Bank of America shall reduce the Initial Purchase Price
for such EPP Loan by the Late Documentation Reduction Percentage as
set forth in Exhibit J (such reduction amount, the
“Late Documentation Holdback”). The Late Documentation
Holdback shall be debited by Bank of America from the Over/Under
Account and retained by Bank of America until such time as either
(i) Seller delivers to Bank of America acceptable Collateral
Documents, in which case, the Late Documentation Holdback shall be
credited to the Over/Under Account or (ii) Seller repurchases
the EPP Loan, in which ca
