3. | Initiation; Confirmation; Termination |
(a) | An agreement to enter into a Transaction may be made orally or in writing at the initiation of either Buyer or Seller. On the Purchase Date for the Transaction, the Purchased Securities shall be transferred to Buyer or its agent against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller. |

The Confirmation shall describe the Purchased Securities (including CUSIP number, if any), identify Buyer and Seller and set forth (i) the Purchase Date, (ii) the Purchase Price, (iii) the Repurchase Date, unless the Transaction is to be terminable on demand, (iv) the Pricing Rate or Repurchase Price applicable to the Transaction, and (v) any additional terms or conditions of the Transaction not inconsistent with this Agreement. |
The Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and Seller with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates, unless with respect to the Confirmation specific objection is made promptly after receipt thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
(c) | In the case of Transactions terminable upon demand, such demand shall be made by Buyer or Seller, no later than such time as is customary in accordance with market practice, by telephone or otherwise on or prior to the business day on which such termination will be effective. On the date specified in such demand, or on the date fixed for termination in the case of Transactions having a fixed term, termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Securities and any Income in respect thereof received by ▇▇▇▇▇ (and not previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof) against the transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. |
4. | Margin Maintenance |
(a) | If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at Seller’s option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional Purchased Securities”), so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Buyer is acting as Seller). |
4
(b) | If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer cash or Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount (increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such Seller is acting as Buyer). |
(c) | If any notice is given by Buyer or Seller under subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Paragraph at or before the Margin Notice Deadline on any business day, the party receiving such notice shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities as provided in such subparagraph no later than the close of business in the relevant market on such day. If any such notice is given after the Margin Notice Deadline, the party receiving such notice shall transfer such cash or Securities no later than the close of business in the relevant market on the next business day following such notice. |
(d) | Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by ▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇. |
(e) | Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions (which amount or percentage shall be agreed to by ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller prior to entering into any such Transactions). |
(f) | Seller and ▇▇▇▇▇ may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of ▇▇▇▇▇ and Seller under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement). |
5
5. | Income Payments |
Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of the Securities that is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the Securities had not been sold to Buyer. Buyer shall, as the parties may agree with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income is paid or distributed either (i) transfer to or credit to the account of Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) with respect to Income paid in cash, apply the Income payment or payments to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the preceding sentence (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or Additional Purchased Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid or distributed.
6. | Security Interest |
Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans, in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all Income thereon and other proceeds thereof.
7. | Payment and Transfer |
Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately available funds. All Securities transferred by one party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may reasonably request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii) shall be transferred by any other method mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.
8. | Segregation of Purchased Securities |
To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller shall be segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation. All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date and, unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise selling, transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraph 3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.
6
Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains Custody of the Purchased Securities | |
Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this Agreement and therefore must keep Buyer’s securities segregated at all times unless in this Agreement Buyer grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute, this means that ▇▇▇▇▇’s securities will likely be commingled with Seller’s own securities during the trading day. Buyer is advised that during any trading day that Buyer’s securities are commingled with Seller’s securities, they [will]* [may]** be subject to liens granted by Seller to [its clearing bank]* [third parties] ** and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other securities transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller’s ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to Seller’s ability to satisfy [the clearing] * [any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities. | |
* | Language to be used under 17 C.F.R, §403.4 (e) if Seller is a government securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution. |
** | Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. §403.5 (d) if Seller is a financial institution. |
9. | Substitution |
(a) | Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇, substitute other Securities for any Purchased Securities. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other Securities and transfer to Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities. |
(b) | In Transactions in which Seller retains custody of Purchased Securities, the parties expressly agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have agreed to and accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased Securities; provided, however, that such other Securities shall have a Market Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which they are substituted. |
10. | Representations |
Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed principal), (iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in connection with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and (v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance, charter, bylaw or rule applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.
7
11. | Events of Default |
In the event that (i) Seller fails to transfer or Buyer fails to purchase Purchased Securities upon the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 4 hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one business day’s notice, to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (v) an Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any representation made by Seller or Buyer shall have been incorrect or untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated, or (vii) Seller or Buyer shall admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to, perform any of its obligations hereunder (each an “Event of Default”):
(a) | The nondefaulting party may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), declare an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately canceled). The nondefaulting party shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to the defaulting party of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable. |
(b) | In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, if the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the nondefaulting party and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, and (iii) the defaulting party shall immediately deliver to the nondefaulting party any Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party’s possession or control. |
(c) | In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, upon tender by the nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all such Transactions, all right, title and interest in and entitlement to all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions shall be deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and the defaulting party shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party. |
8
(d) | If the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the nondefaulting party, without prior notice to the defaulting party, may: |
(i) | as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder; and |
(ii) | as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, (A) immediately purchase, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities (“Replacement Securities”) of the same class and amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing offer quotation from such a source. |
Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Securities subject to any Transaction hereunder are instruments traded in a recognized market, (2) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Security, the nondefaulting party may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (3) all prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Securities).
(e) | As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the nondefaulting party for Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for the Purchased Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the defaulting party under Paragraph 5 hereof or otherwise hereunder. |
9
(f) | For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer shall not increase above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such Transaction determined as of the date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the nondefaulting party of the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph. |
(g) | The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the nondefaulting party in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost (including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction. |
(h) | To the extent permitted by applicable law, the defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for interest on any amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, from the date the defaulting party becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by the defaulting party or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the nondefaulting party’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party under this Paragraph 11(h) shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate. |
(i) | The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law. |
12. | Single Agreement |
▇▇▇▇▇ and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and (iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.
13. | Notices and Other Communications |
Any and all notices, statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a party to the other by mail, facsimile, telegraph, messenger or otherwise to the address specified in Annex II hereto, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and requests hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other communication as specified in the preceding sentence.
10
14. | Entire Agreement; Severability |
This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.
15. | Non-assignability; Termination |
(a) | The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, and any such assignment without the prior written consent of the other party shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving written notice to the other, except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding such notice, remain applicable to any Transactions then outstanding. |
(b) | Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 15 shall not preclude a party from assigning, charging or otherwise dealing with all or any part of its interest in any sum payable to it under Paragraph 11 hereof. |
16. | Governing Law |
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the conflict of law principles thereof.
17. | No Waivers, Etc. |
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure here-from shall be effective unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) or 4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.
11
18. | Use of Employee Plan Assets |
(a) | If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA) are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction. The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall not be required so to proceed. |
(b) | Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, any such Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition. |
(c) | By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller shall be deemed (i) to represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party. |
19. | Intent |
(a) | The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of Securities subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). |
(b) | It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Securities delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended. |
(c) | The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). |
(d) | It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). |
12
20. | Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections |
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
(a) | in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; |
(b) | in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder; and |
(c) | in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable. |

4.2 | Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement shall be removed in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Seller in such Transactions shall have the Margin Deficit Cure Period within which to transfer to Buyer cash or additional Purchased Securities (referencing the Market Value used to determine that Margin Deficit) (“Additional Purchased Securities”), in Seller’s discretion, so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed the product of the Original Margin Percentage and the aggregate Purchase Price. Seller shall have all rights under Clauses 5(b) and (c) hereof to effect an Early Termination (including by paying the related Early Termination Fee) with respect to one or more Transactions to cure a Margin Deficit, in whole or in part, within the Margin Deficit Cure Period. Buyer shall provide notice to Seller upon the occurrence of a Margin Deficit; provided however, that (i) if, due to operational or technical failures Buyer is unable to provide notice to Seller of a Margin Deficit, Seller shall nevertheless be obligated to transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities as required herein, and (ii) in all cases, regardless of the time of receipt of such notice, the Margin Deficit Cure Period shall begin upon the occurrence of the Margin Deficit. In the event Seller cures such Margin Deficit by depositing cash with Buyer, such amount shall be deemed to be a deposit of Additional Purchased Securities unless Seller provides notice to Buyer that such amount constitutes an Early Termination and the payment of the applicable Early Termination Fee. In addition, during the Margin Deficit Cure Period for any Transactions, any fluctuations in the Market Value of the Purchased Securities shall not be deemed to be a new or additional Margin Deficit or extend the duration of the existing Margin Deficit Cure Period for such Transactions; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, following the end of such Margin Deficit Cure Period, the Market Value of Purchased Securities used to determine whether a new Margin Deficit has occurred following such Margin Deficit Cure Period will be the Market Value of such Purchased Securities as of the applicable time of determination.. Upon the occurrence of a Margin Default or a Liquidation Trigger, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies under Paragraph 11 of this Agreement and/or applicable law or, solely upon the occurrence of Margin Default, may elect to exercise a Buyer Mini Close-out. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement or otherwise, Buyer shall not be required to provide any prior notice to Seller of the occurrence of any Margin Deficit, Margin Default or Liquidation Trigger, except as set forth in this paragraph, and Seller shall transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities no later than as provided in this paragraph; provided that, Buyer shall provide Seller notice of its exercise of remedies in respect of any Margin Default or Liquidation Trigger as promptly as practicable following the commencement thereof. Additionally, if Buyer elects to exercise a Buyer Mini Close-out, the Seller shall pay the applicable Early Termination Fee. ▇▇▇▇▇’s remedies under this Section 4.1 shall be without prejudice to ▇▇▇▇▇’s remedies for a subsequent Price Differential Payment Failure, Liquidation Trigger or other Event of Default.

4.3 | Paragraph 4(b) of the Agreement shall be removed in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
If, at 4:00 PM New York City time on any Business Day the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer Purchased Securities, or, in Buyer’s discretion, cash previously deposited by Seller with Buyer to cure a Margin Deficit and deemed to be Additional Purchased Securities by Buyer, to Seller, so that the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed the product of the Original Margin Percentage and the aggregate Purchase Price. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 4(c) of the Agreement or otherwise, Buyer shall have one (1) business day to transfer such cash or Purchased Securities after notice from Seller, provided that Buyer shall have no obligation to return Purchased Securities if a Margin Deficit exists (or would be created) prior to or at the time of such return; provided further that such notice from Seller shall be sent no later than 5:00 p.m. New York time on the Business Day prior to the required transfer.

5. | EARLY TERMINATION; HARD FORKS and AIRDROPS |
5.1 | Early Termination |
(a) | Unless a Margin Deficit is continuing, Seller shall have the right during the Term of any Transaction to effect an Early Termination of such Transaction in whole by providing written notice from Seller to Buyer specifying the applicable Early Termination Date; provided that such Early Termination Date shall be on the last day of any calendar month (or if such day is not a Business Day, the immediately succeeding Business Day). Upon receipt of such notice by ▇▇▇▇▇, the Repurchase Date for the applicable Transaction shall be deemed to be the Early Termination Date specified in such notice and Seller shall pay the Early Termination Fee related to such Early Termination, in addition to the related Repurchase Price. Notwithstanding Paragraph 3(c) of the Agreement, for any Transaction subject to Early Termination by Seller pursuant to this clause (a), notification of Early Termination shall be at least three Business Days prior to the related Early Termination Date. |
(b) | Except as otherwise set forth in this Clause 5 or in the applicable Confirmation, if Seller exercises its option to effect an Early Termination of the applicable Transaction in whole to cure a Margin Deficit, the Seller shall pay the Early Termination Fee within the Margin Deficit Cure Period. |
(c) | If Seller exercises its option to effect an Early Termination in part with respect to the applicable Transactions by paying the portion of the Repurchase Price of the Purchased Securities under such Transaction in an amount that would cure the related Margin Deficit, the Seller shall pay (i) the Early Termination Fee related to such Purchased Securities and (ii) such portion of the Repurchase Price within the Margin Deficit Cure Period. |
5.2 | In the event of a public announcement of a future Hard Fork or Airdrop resulting in New Tokens in respect of Purchased Securities, Buyer shall manage the Hard Fork or Airdrop itself and transfer such New Tokens to Seller in accordance with this Clause. If the Hard Fork or applicable Airdrop results in New Tokens and Buyer obtains or claims such New Tokens, they will become part of the Purchased Securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Buyer shall have no obligation in respect of New Tokens if Seller had no rights or ability to obtain New Tokens immediately prior to this transaction and Seller shall have no right to the digital asset created through such Hard Fork or Airdrop if such digital asset is not a New Token. If following the announcement of a future Hard Fork or Airdrop, but prior to the occurrence of such future Hard Fork or Airdrop, the parties mutually determine that the result of a Hard Fork or Airdrop will be that substantially all of the value of the Purchased Securities will be converted into digital assets that are not New Tokens, the parties shall cooperate to promptly effect an early termination of all affected Transactions, and no Early Termination Fee shall apply in respect thereof. |

(a) | the Buyer shall initially apply the portion of the liquidation proceeds of the Purchased Securities related to Terminated Transactions against the Repurchase Price to the extent necessary to reduce the Repurchase Prices of such Terminated Transactions on a dollar-for-dollar basis to zero, and any proceeds or Purchased Securities in excess of such Repurchase Price shall be deemed as excess proceeds (the “Excess Proceeds”) to be to applied in accordance with clause (b) below; and |
(b) | after giving effect to the foregoing clause (a), Buyer may, in its sole discretion, elect to apply Excess Proceeds to reduce the Repurchase Prices of any other outstanding Transactions or return the Excess Proceeds to the Seller to the extent a Margin Excess would result and to pay all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred in connection with or as a result of a Buyer Mini Close-out. |
For the avoidance of doubt, it shall be an Event of Default under the Agreement if, with respect to an Early Termination Fee or any amount due and payable or under Paragraph 11 following any Buyer Mini Close-out, such amount is not paid by the defaulting party before the end of the Business Day on which the defaulting party receives notice of such due and payable amount from the non-defaulting party, if the defaulting party receives such notice before the Margin Notice Deadline (or, if any such notice is received after the Margin Notice Deadline, such amount is not paid by the defaulting party before the end of the next Business Day).

9. | LIMITATION ON LIABILITY |
Subject to paragraph 11(g) of the Agreement, no party shall be required to pay or be liable to the other party for any consequential, indirect or punitive damages, opportunity costs or lost profits.
10. | TAXES, FEES AND DUTIES |
Seller agrees to pay to Buyer as soon as practicable following the latter’s demand an amount equal to any taxes, fees or duties, including stamp and other documentary tax, incurred by Buyer as a result of its entry into the Agreement or the Transaction, including any amount arising (i) from the transfer of Purchased Securities or (ii) as a result of the introduction of any tax on the entry into, sale and purchase, transfer or exchange of financial instruments but excluding any tax determined by reference to Buyer’s corporate income or capital gains.
Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer shall treat the Transaction as described in Section 2.8 of this Annex I (including on any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state, or local taxing authority) and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment.
11. | TAX DOCUMENT DELIVERY OBLIGATIONS |
11.1 | Both parties agree to provide upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form, document, certification or information that may be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party to make a payment under the Agreement without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any tax, including any tax that may apply under FATCA, or with such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such form, document, certification or information would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with any such form, document, certification or information to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and to be delivered with any reasonably required certification as soon as reasonably practicable. |
11.2 | Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, both parties agree to provide the other with an executed United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9, W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI (or any successor thereto), as applicable, upon execution of the Agreement, and thereafter promptly upon reasonable demand by the other party and promptly upon learning that any such tax form previously provided to the other party has become obsolete or incorrect. |
I-16
11.3 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in paragraph 5 of the Agreement, all money or other property payable by one party to the other in respect of any Transaction, including with respect to Digital Assets or other amounts payable as a result of a Hard Fork or an Airdrop, shall be paid free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes or duties of whatsoever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by any authority having the power to tax, unless the withholding or deduction of such tax is required by law. In that event, notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, (i) the amount of such withholding or deduction shall be treated as paid to the relevant party in respect of the Transaction, (ii) no additional amounts shall be payable by either party pursuant to the Agreement or the Transaction in respect of taxes or duties required to be deducted or withheld from any payment received, and (iii) the paying Party shall reasonably co-operate in efforts by the receiving Party to recover any amounts so withheld from the related tax authority. |
11.4 | If (i) either party is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding on account of taxes or duties; (ii) such party does not so deduct or withhold; and (iii) a liability resulting from such tax or duty is assessed directly against such party, then, except to the extent the other party has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from such tax or duty, the other party will promptly pay to such party the amount of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if the other party has failed to comply with its obligations under Clauses 10.1 to 10.2 above). |
12. | ASSIGNABILITY |
12.1 | Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Paragraph 15(a) of the Agreement, Party A shall not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement and in its capacity as Buyer under any Transaction without the prior written consent of Seller; [***].

I-17
12.2 | In the event of a Buyer Assignment, Servicer may retain or assign to an affiliate all or any of Servicer’s obligations to manage, service, administer and collect the payments and perform the other duties and obligations of Servicer set forth in a servicing agreement applicable to the obligations and this Agreement and any Transactions hereunder, and the Servicing Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. |
13. | MISCELLANEOUS |
13.1 | The Agreement is governed by, and shall be construed and enforced under, the laws of the State of New York without regard to any choice or conflict of laws rules. If a dispute arises out of or relates to the Agreement, or the breach hereof, and if said dispute cannot be settled through negotiation it shall be finally resolved by arbitration administered in the County of New York, State of New York by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules, or such other applicable arbitration body as required by law or regulation, and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. If any proceeding is brought for the enforcement of the Agreement, then the successful or prevailing party shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in such proceeding in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled. |
13.2 | EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF, UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE AGREEMENT.

Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of the Agreement and this Annex I by PDF shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of the Agreement. |

Annex V
Agency Appointment
Seller hereby appoints Buyer to be its agent and authorized person (in such capacity, the “Agent”) in order to give instructions to [***] on Seller’s behalf regarding the account in Seller’s name held at [***] (the “Account”) to: (1) authorize withdrawals of assets from the Account to be sent to Buyer in connection with any margin deficit, (2) approve deposits of assets into the Account from Buyer in connection with a margin excess, and (3) authorize and approve any withdrawals or deposits of cash or other assets from or into the Account in connection with the payment of any Price Differential, fees or other amounts owed to Buyer, including, but not limited to, instances of late payment by Seller of any amounts owed. For the avoidance of doubt, the Agent is authorized to give such instructions regardless of whether Buyer or Seller has given notice pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) or 4(b) of the Agreement. Seller’s grant of authorization to the Agent is limited solely to the Account.
By countersigning below, the Agent consents to such appointment, and agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to give instructions to [***] on Seller’s behalf to fulfill Seller’s duties under the Agreement to Buyer in respect to movement of Digital Assets.
Seller acknowledges that, as [***] is not a party to the Agreement, [***] is not required to confirm that the Agent is acting consistently with the Agreement or that the Agent’s instructions to [***] are consistent with the Agreement.
Seller acknowledges that Buyer is both (a) Seller’s counterparty under the Agreement and (b) Seller’s agent pursuant to this letter agreement. Seller understands that this dual role may give rise to a potential conflict of interest and, by executing this letter, expressly acknowledges and accepts the risks associated with that structure.
Seller acknowledges that (a) any determination by Buyer as to whether a Liquidation Trigger has occurred shall be calculated by reference to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities and (b) if a Liquidation Trigger occurs at any time, including during a Margin Deficit Cure Period, Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any and all rights and remedies under Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, notwithstanding that a Margin Default has not occurred or that Agent has not yet withdrawn assets from the Account to cure the Margin Deficit before the expiration of such Margin Deficit Cure Period. No such acknowledgment or acceptance by Seller shall absolve Buyer, as Agent, from a failure to perform hereunder.
▇▇▇▇▇, in acting as agent pursuant to this letter agreement, shall do so solely in a ministerial capacity and shall have no liability to Seller or any third party for any action taken or omitted to be taken in good faith under this letter, except in the case of gross negligence, willful misconduct, or fraud. In no event shall Buyer be liable for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages, including without limitation lost profits, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Buyer shall have no duty to verify the sufficiency of assets in the Account. This letter agreement is solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and does not confer rights on any third party.
By providing its acknowledgement below, [***] (1) agrees to provide Seller, upon ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s request, all instructions provided to [***] on Seller’s behalf by the Agent and (2) confirms that it will take instructions from the Agent on ▇▇▇▇▇▇’s behalf as described in this Agency Appointment. Buyer, Seller and [***] (1) acknowledge that Seller can revoke this Agency appointment at any time by providing one (1) Business Day’s written notice to [***] and the other party and (2) acknowledge that ▇▇▇▇▇ can revoke this Agency appointment at any time by providing prior written notice to [***] and the other party.
