Any such prepayment may be made from the Repo Seller’s own funds or through the application of amounts on deposit in the applicable Dedicated Account, provided that there is no existing Margin Deficit or the application of such amounts from the applicable Dedicated Account would not otherwise result in a Margin Deficit.

(c) Within three (3) Business Days following the end of each Price Differential Period (the “Price Differential Statement Date”), the Buyer will provide an invoice of all accrued and unpaid Price Differential on the Transactions for the related Price Differential Period, and the Repo Seller hereby agrees to pay to the Buyer on each Price Differential Payment Date the amount of Price Differential set forth on such statement.

A certificate as to any additional amounts payable pursuant to this Section 2.09 submitted by the Buyer to the Repo Seller shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error.

(d) Failure or delay on the part of the Buyer to demand compensation pursuant to this Section 2.09 shall not constitute a waiver of the Buyer’s right to demand such compensation; provided that the Repo Seller shall not be required to compensate the Buyer pursuant to this Section 2.09 for any additional amounts incurred or reductions suffered more than six (6) months prior to the date that the Buyer notifies the Repo Seller of the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such additional amounts or reductions, and of the Buyer’s intention to claim compensation therefor (except that, if the change in any Requirement of Law giving rise to such additional amounts or reductions is retroactive, then the six (6)-month period referred to above shall be extended to include the period of retroactive effect thereof).

(D) if a payment made to a Buyer or the Buyer assignee or participant under this Agreement or any other Program Agreement would be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax imposed by FATCA if such Buyer or assignee or participant were to fail to comply with the applicable reporting requirements of FATCA (including those contained in section 1471(b) or 1472(b) of the Code, as applicable), Administrative Agent on behalf of such Buyer or assignee or participant shall deliver to the Repo Seller at the time or times prescribed by law and at such time or times reasonably requested by the Repo Seller such documentation prescribed by Applicable Law (including as prescribed by section 1471(b)(3)(C)(i) of the Code) and such additional documentation reasonably requested by the Repo Seller as may be necessary for the Repo Seller to comply with its obligations under FATCA and to determine the amount, if any, to deduct and withhold from such payment.

35

pocket expenses (including Taxes) of such indemnified party and without interest (other than any interest paid by the relevant Governmental Authority with respect to such refund). Such indemnifying party, upon the request of such indemnified party, shall repay to such indemnified party the amount paid over pursuant to this paragraph (f) (plus any penalties, interest or other charges imposed by the relevant Governmental Authority) in the event that such indemnified party is required to repay such refund to such Governmental Authority. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this paragraph (f), in no event will the indemnified party be required to pay any amount to an indemnifying party pursuant to this paragraph (f) the payment of which would place the indemnified party in a less favorable net after-Tax position than the indemnified party would have been in if the Tax subject to indemnification and giving rise to such refund had not been deducted, withheld or otherwise imposed and the indemnification payments or additional amounts with respect to such Tax had never been paid. This paragraph shall not be construed to require any indemnified party to make available its Tax returns (or any other information relating to its Taxes that it deems confidential) to the indemnifying party or any other Person.

Section 2.11 Indemnity.

(a) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if a Repo Seller Termination Option occurs, the Repo Seller may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such event, terminate this Agreement and the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred (upon the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period).

(b) In the event that a Repo Seller Termination Option as described in clause (a) of the definition thereof has occurred and the Repo Seller has notified the Buyer in writing of its option to terminate this Agreement, the Buyer shall have the right to withdraw such request for payment within three (3) Business Days of the Repo Seller’s notice of its exercise of the Repo Seller Termination Option and the Repo Seller shall no longer have the right to terminate this Agreement.

(c) Upon the occurrence of an Early Amortization Event, the Revolving Period shall terminate and the Repo Seller shall pay to the Buyer on each Price Differential Payment Date, beginning on the next Price Differential Payment Date following such occurrence, during the Early Amortization Period, one-third (1/3) of the Early Amortization Amount.

36

(d) For the avoidance of doubt, the Repo Seller shall remain responsible for all costs actually incurred by the Buyer pursuant to Sections 2.09 and 2.10.

If the Repo Seller fails to perform or comply with any of its agreements contained in the Program Agreements or any Agency Agreement, and to the extent expressly permitted pursuant to the applicable Agency Agreement, the Buyer (or the Administrative Agent on behalf of the Buyer) may itself perform or comply, or otherwise cause performance or compliance, with such agreement, the reasonable (under the circumstances) documented out-of-pocket expenses of the Buyer and the Administrative Agent actually incurred in connection with such performance or compliance, together with interest thereon at a rate per annum equal to the Pricing Rate shall be payable by the Repo Seller to the Buyer on demand and shall constitute Obligations. Such interest shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days in each Price Differential Period and a 360-day year. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall the Buyer be permitted to assume the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac Designated Servicing Contract.

Section 4.08 Proceeds. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, (a) all proceeds of Repurchase Assets received by the Repo Seller consisting of cash, checks and other liquid assets readily convertible to cash items shall be held by the Repo Seller in trust for the Buyer, segregated from other funds of the Repo Seller, and shall forthwith upon receipt by the Repo Seller

Any balance of such proceeds remaining after the Obligations shall have been paid in full and this Agreement shall have been terminated shall be paid over to the Repo Seller or to whomsoever may be lawfully entitled to receive the same. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the provisions of this Section 4.08 shall be subject to the applicable Servicing Contract, the applicable Agency Agreement, in the case of Repurchase Assets relating to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae Mortgage Loans, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Requirements, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac Purchase Documents and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac Guide each to the extent applicable.

Section 4.09 Remedies. If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing, the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may exercise, in addition to all other rights and remedies granted to it in this Agreement and in any other instrument or agreement securing, evidencing or relating to the Obligations, all rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code (including the Buyer’s rights to a strict foreclosure under Section 9-620 of the Uniform Commercial Code). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may seek the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, conservator, trustee, or similar official in respect of the Repo Seller or any of the Repo Seller’s property. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Buyer may terminate the Participation Interest in accordance with the Participation Agreement. The Buyer or the Administrative Agent without demand of performance or other demand, presentment, protest, advertisement or notice of any kind (except any notice required under this Agreement or by law referred to below) to or upon the Repo Seller or any other Person (each and all of which demands, presentments, protests, advertisements and notices are hereby waived), may in such circumstances forthwith collect, receive, appropriate and realize upon the Repurchase Assets, or any part thereof, and/or may forthwith sell, lease, assign, give option or options to purchase, or otherwise dispose of and deliver the Repurchase Assets or any part thereof (or contract to do any of the foregoing), in one or more parcels or as an entirety at public or private sale or sales, at any exchange, broker’s board or office of the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, or elsewhere upon such terms and conditions as it may deem advisable and at such prices as it may deem best, for cash or on credit or for future delivery without assumption of any credit risk. The Buyer or the Administrative Agent shall have the right upon any such public sale or sales, and, to the extent permitted by law, upon any such private sale or sales, to purchase the whole or any part of the Repurchase Assets so sold, free of any right or equity of redemption in the Repo Seller, which right or equity is hereby waived or released. The Repo Seller further agrees, at the Buyer’s or the Administrative Agent’s request, to assemble the Repurchase Assets and make them available to the Buyer or the Administrative Agent at places which the Buyer or the Administrative Agent shall reasonably select, whether at the Repo Seller’s premises or elsewhere. The Buyer or the Administrative Agent shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable (under the circumstances) documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Repurchase Assets or in any way relating to the Repurchase Assets or the rights of the Buyer hereunder, including reasonable

49

and documented attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need the Buyer or the Administrative Agent account for the surplus, if any, to the Repo Seller. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, the Repo Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against the Buyer or the Administrative Agent arising out of the exercise by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Buyer or the Administrative Agent. If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Repurchase Assets shall be required by law, such notice shall be deemed reasonable and proper if given at least ten (10) days before such sale or other disposition. The Repo Seller shall remain liable for any deficiency (plus accrued interest thereon as contemplated herein) if the proceeds of any sale or other disposition of the Repurchase Assets are insufficient to pay the Obligations and the fees and disbursements in amounts reasonable under the circumstances, of any attorneys employed by the Buyer or the Administrative Agent to collect such deficiency. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein or in any of the other Program Agreements, the remedies set forth in this Section 4.09 shall be subject to the applicable Servicing Contract, the applicable Agency Agreement, in the case of Repurchase Assets relating to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ Mortgage Loans, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mae Requirements, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac Purchase Documents and the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac Guide each to the extent applicable.

Section 4.10 Limitation on Duties Regarding Preservation of Repurchase Assets. The Buyer’s or the Administrative Agent’s duty with respect to the custody, safekeeping and physical preservation of the Repurchase Assets in its possession, under Section 9-207 of the Uniform Commercial Code or otherwise, shall be to deal with it in the same manner as the Buyer or the Administrative Agent deals with similar property for its own account. Neither the Buyer, the Administrative Agent, nor any of their directors, officers or employees shall be liable for failure to demand, collect or realize upon all or any part of the Repurchase Assets or for any delay in doing so or shall be under any obligation to sell or otherwise dispose of any Repurchase Assets upon the request of the Repo Seller or otherwise.

Section 4.11 Powers Coupled with an Interest. All authorizations and agencies herein contained with respect to the Repurchase Assets are irrevocable and are powers coupled with an interest.

Section 4.12 Release of Security Interest. Upon the latest to occur of (a) the repayment to the Buyer of all Obligations hereunder, and (b) the occurrence of the Termination Date, the Administrative Agent shall release its security interest in any remaining Repurchase Assets hereunder and shall promptly execute and deliver to the Repo Seller such documents or instruments as the Repo Seller shall reasonably request to evidence such release.

Section 4.13 Reinstatement. All security interests created by this Article IV shall continue to be effective, or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment, or any part thereof, of any Obligation of the Repo Seller is rescinded or must otherwise be restored or returned by the Buyer upon the insolvency, bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation or reorganization of the Repo Seller or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, the Repo Seller or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, all as if such release had not been made.

50

Section 10.13 Intent.

(a) To the extent that the Buyer qualifies as a “financial institution,” “financial participant” and/or “master netting agreement participant”, as each such term is defined in Sections 101(22), 101(22A) and/or 101(38) of the Bankruptcy Code, as applicable, (hereinafter a “Financial Institution”, Financial Participant” and/or “Master Netting Agreement Participant”, as applicable), the parties recognize and intend for (i) this Agreement and each Transaction hereunder to qualify for the applicable safe harbor treatment provided by Sections 362(b)(6), 362(b)(27), 546(e), 546(j), 555 and/or 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, and for the Buyer to be entitled to all of the rights, benefits and protections afforded to a Financial Institution, Financial Participant and/or Master Netting Agreement Participant with respect to a “securities contract” as defined in Section 741(7) of the Bankruptcy Code and a “master netting agreement” as defined in Section 101(38A) of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) any payments or transfers of property made to satisfy a Margin Deficit to be considered “margin payments”, as such term is defined in Section 741(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, and any payments or transfers of property made to complete a securities transaction under this Agreement to be considered “settlement payments”, as such term is defined in Section 741(8) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iii) the grant of a security interest set forth in Section 4.02 that creates the pledge of the Purchased Assets, (subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Agency Agreement), to constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this Agreement and Transactions hereunder, within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code, (iv) the Guaranty to constitute “a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement” that is “related to” this Agreement and Transactions hereunder, within the meaning of Sections 101(38A)(A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code and (v) each of the Purchased Assets, (subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Agency Agreement), to be a security, as contemplated in Section 101(49) of the Bankruptcy Code. The Repo Seller and the Buyer further recognize and intend that this Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations, and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. Each party further agrees that it shall not challenge, and hereby waives to the fullest extent available under Applicable Law its right to challenge, the characterization of (i) any Purchased Asset, (except as otherwise provided in the applicable Agency Agreement), as a security under Section 101(49) of the Bankruptcy Code and/or under federal securities laws and (ii) any Transaction under this Agreement or this Agreement as a “master netting agreement” and/or “securities contract” within the meaning of the Bankruptcy Code.

(b) To the extent that the Buyer qualifies as a Financial Institution, Financial Participant and/or Master Netting Agreement Participant, the Buyer’s (i) right, upon an Act of Insolvency pursuant to the Bankruptcy Code, to liquidate the Purchased Assets, (subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Agency Agreement), delivered to it in connection with the Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate this Agreement, (including as may be provided for in Section 4.09, Section 7.03, and Section 10.12 herein), is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Transaction and/or this Agreement, as described in Sections 555 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code, (ii) right to offset or net out as set forth in Section 10.12 is a contractual right that shall not be subject to the automatic stay, as set forth in Sections 362(b)(6)

80

or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) rights concerning the pledge of the Purchased Assets, (subject to the terms and provisions of the applicable Agency Agreement), and rights concerning the Repo Guaranty are rights under a security agreement or arrangement or other credit enhancement forming a part of or related to this Agreement that shall not be subject to the automatic stay, as set forth in Sections 362(b)(6) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code. In addition, to the extent that the Buyer qualifies as a Financial Institution, Financial Participant and/or Master Netting Agreement Participant, transfers made, in connection with this Agreement, shall not be avoided as set forth in Sections 546(e) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code.

(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).

(e) Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, the Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity.

(f) It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing with the Repo Seller incurring an indebtedness, and that the Repo Seller be (except to the extent that the Buyer shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes. Unless prohibited by Applicable Law that becomes effective after the date of this Agreement, the Repo Seller and the Buyer shall treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence (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).

Section 10.14 Electronic Signatures and Transmission.

(a) For purposes of this Agreement, any reference to “written” or “in writing” means any form of written communication, including, without limitation, electronic signatures, and any such written communication may be transmitted by Electronic Transmission.

(b) Any requirement in this Agreement or any other Program Agreement that a document, including the Participation Certificates, is to be signed or authenticated by “manual signature” or similar language shall not be deemed to prohibit signature to be by facsimile or electronic signature and shall not be deemed to prohibit delivery thereof by Electronic Transmission.

Section 10.15 Rights and Remedies of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Mac.
