Thereafter, the Repurchase Price of such Purchased Loan will be deemed to be zero and the Seller may at any time repurchase such Purchased Loan pursuant to Section 3.4(c).

     2.7 Defaulting Buyers . Article 3 of the Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following Section 3.11 immediately after section 3.10:
