Except as expressly amended and modified by this Amendment, the Repurchase Agreement, Pricing Letter and each of the other Program Documents shall continue to be, and shall remain, in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms; provided, however, that upon the date hereof: (i) each reference therein and herein to the “Program Documents” shall be deemed to include, in any event, this Amendment, (ii) each reference to the “Pricing Letter” in any of the Program Documents shall be deemed to be a reference to the Pricing Letter, as amended by this Amendment, and (iii) each reference in the Pricing Letter, to “this Agreement”, “hereof”, “herein” or words of similar effect in referring to the Pricing Letter, shall be deemed to be references to the Pricing Letter, as amended by this Amendment.
