(e) FHLBank may from time to time direct Borrower and any Pledging Affiliate that has granted
a security interest in Mortgage Collateral to deliver physical possession of such Mortgage
Collateral, including any participation certificates or related documents, to FHLBank or a
collateral agent designated by FHLBank.
(f) FHLBank may from time to time direct Borrower and any Pledging Affiliate that has granted
a security interest in Mortgage Collateral to (i) pay immediately to FHLBank any and all
collections from Mortgage Collateral, (ii) deposit in an account designated by FHLBank from time to
time all collections, including checks, drafts, cash, and other remittances of payment on Mortgage
Collateral, from Mortgage Collateral, and (iii) to direct the obligors on mortgage loans included
in Mortgage Collateral to remit payments due under such Mortgage Collateral to FHLBank or to a
collateral agent or depository designated by FHLBank from time to time. FHLBank may apply all
amounts that it receives as collections or proceeds of Mortgage Collateral to principal and
interest of the Obligations, in whatever manner or order FHLBank in its sole discretion may elect.
(g) FHLBank may from time to time direct Borrower and any Pledging Affiliate that has granted
a security interest in Mortgage Collateral to assign the mortgages included in such Mortgage
Collateral to FHLBank, a collateral agent designated by FHLBank or MERS, or to notify MERS of the
assignment of such Mortgage Collateral to FHLBank or such collateral agent.
(h) With regard to Specific Mortgage Collateral and, to the extent that FHLBank shall direct,
Blanket Mortgage Collateral, Borrower shall, and shall cause any Pledging Affiliate that has
granted a security interest in Mortgage Collateral, to promptly notify FHLBank if any of the
following occur:
(i) payment of the remaining principal balance of a mortgage loan;
(ii) payment in full of a mortgage loan occurs; or
(iii) whenever (A) casualty damage to any building encumbered by a mortgage securing a
mortgage loan decreases the appraised value of such building twenty-five percent (25%) or more,
and (B) such damage cannot be repaired promptly.
(i) Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate that has granted a security interest in Mortgage
Collateral may Transfer Mortgage Collateral to an Affiliate of Borrower that is a Pledging
Affiliate provided that Borrower or such Pledging Affiliate first notifies FHLBank in writing of
such Transfer.
(j) Borrower and any Pledging Affiliate that has granted a security interest in Mortgage
Collateral may Transfer Mortgage Collateral to any person or entity that is not a Pledging
Affiliate provided that FHLBank (i) first approves such Transfer in writing, (ii) is otherwise
reasonably deemed to have approved such Transfer, or (iii) as further specified below:
If FHLBank has not directed delivery of the physical possession of Mortgage Collateral to FHLBank
or its designee or notified Borrower in writing that Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate must obtain
FHLBank’s written consent prior to effecting a Transfer of any loans included in
13
Mortgage Collateral, Borrower or a Pledging Affiliate may Transfer Mortgage Collateral, as long as
following such Transfer, the Qualifying Collateral has a Lendable Collateral Value equal to or
greater than the Collateral Maintenance Requirement. In such event, (A) FHLBank shall be deemed to
have approved such Transfer, and (B) Borrower or a Pledging Affiliate, as the case may be, need not
notify FHLBank prior to effecting such Transfer.
(k) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to insure that (i) “all risk”
property insurance covers any building or other property securing any obligation included in
Mortgage Collateral in an amount equal to the replacement cost of such building, (ii) such other
insurance as lenders in the vicinity of such building customarily require covers such building,
(iii) all such insurance includes Borrower or the Pledging Affiliate, as the case may be, its
successors and assigns, as loss payee under a standard mortgagee endorsement, and (iv) if FHLBank
so directs, such insurance shall provide that the insurer may not cancel it without at least ten
(10) days prior written notice to FHLBank. Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate may satisfy the
foregoing insurance requirement with a blanket insurance policy containing such deductibles, limits
of liability as FHLBank may approve in writing in advance and issued by an insurer as FHLBank may
approve in writing in advance. Any insurer issuing such insurance must satisfy the standards that
FHLBank may establish from time to time for such insurers. FHLBank may direct from time to time
Borrower and any Pledging Affiliate to physically deliver the originals of such insurance to
FHLBank or a collateral agent designated by FHLBank. If any such insurance required by this
subsection lapses, FHLBank may obtain such insurance in its favor at Borrower’s expense and as an
additional Obligation hereunder.
(l) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to pay any fees or expenses that
FHLBank incurs in connection with reviewing, acquiring, evidencing, protecting, perfecting,
evaluating or realizing on its security interest in Mortgage Collateral, including (without
limitation) insurance premiums and the fees of attorneys, accountants, evaluation consultants,
recording offices and collateral agents.
(m) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to originate and service all loans
included in Mortgage Collateral in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including without
limitation those relating to predatory or high cost lending or abusive loan practices.
(n) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to enforce the payment provisions
of all mortgage loans included in Mortgage Collateral, including collecting all amounts specified
thereunder when due.
8. PAYMENT. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to, pay FHLBank
any and all costs that FHLBank may incur in exercising its rights under this Agreement or entering
this Agreement, including reasonable attorney fees. Such costs may include those related to the
receipt, holding, redelivery, and reassignment of Collateral, recording fees, and the expenses and
disbursements of any custodian, consultant, or appraiser or otherwise as noted in Section 7 above.
If any payment is due to FHLBank pursuant to this Agreement, (i) FHLBank may debit Borrower’s DDA
to satisfy such payments and (ii) Borrower may set off such amount that is due to FHLBank against
any amount whatsoever that FHLBank may owe
14
Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate (including, without limitation, proceeds of the repurchase
of FHLBank stock owned by such Borrower or Pledging Affiliate).
9. DESTRUCTION OF NOTES; LOST NOTES. (a) If Borrower, any Pledging Affiliate,
or any holder has destroyed any promissory note or other document that constitutes a part of
Mortgage Collateral or does so in the future, Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging
Affiliate to, notify FHLBank of such destruction. No Mortgage Collateral with respect to which any
holder of the note or any other document that comprises or represents such Collateral, including
Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate, may constitute Qualifying Collateral unless FHLBank approves
such Mortgage Collateral as Qualifying Collateral. Borrower shall not and shall not permit its
Pledging Affiliates to destroy any notes or other documents included in Mortgage Collateral with a
view to substituting electronic images for such documents unless FHLBank shall have approved the
same in writing in advance. FHLBank may elect to treat any such Mortgage Collateral as Collateral
that is not Qualifying Collateral or impose on such Collateral a higher Collateral Maintenance
Requirement than similar Mortgage Collateral with respect to which such notes or other documents
comprising or representing it have not been destroyed.
(b) If Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate has lost any note or other document that constitutes
a part of Mortgage Collateral, Borrower or such Pledging Affiliate shall provide FHLBank an
affidavit satisfactory to FHLBank concerning the circumstances of such loss.
10. INDEMNITY. Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate, to indemnify
FHLBank, defend with counsel acceptable to FHLBank, and hold FHLBank harmless from and against all
losses, damages, claims, causes of action, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses,
including reasonable attorney fees and litigation expenses, that FHLBank suffers, pays, or incurs
as a result of any of the following:
(i) the origination of any mortgage loan included in Mortgage Collateral that has resulted in
whole or in part from violations of Applicable Laws, including (without limitation) those
governing such origination, any “predatory lending” laws, or any such mortgage loan otherwise does
not comply in any other respect with Applicable Laws;
(ii) Applicable Laws impose liability on FHLBank as a result of its holding a security
interest on or becoming the owner of any item of Mortgage Collateral, including (without
limitation) any liability related to a release of a Hazardous Material at property that is

(iii) FHLBank’s exercise and/or enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except in the
event that a court having jurisdiction finally determines that such an exercise and/or enforcement
was in bad faith or in wilful violation of applicable law
(iv) Borrower’s or any Pledging Affiliate’s failure to perform any of its obligations
hereunder when due;
(v) Any of Borrower’s or Pledging Affiliate’s representations or warranties are untrue as of

(vi) Borrower’s or any Pledging Affiliate’s loss or destruction of any document that is a
part of Mortgage Collateral, including without limitation, any promissory note.

Agreement:

any Pledging Affiliate which FHLBank considers materially adverse to Borrower or such Pledging
Affiliate’s property;

state housing finance agency ceases for any reason;
(x) FHLBank notifies Borrower that a change in the condition or business or other affairs of
Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate, financial or otherwise, has
16
occurred that FHLBank considers to materially impair Borrower’s financial or business status
or FHLBank’s security or increases its risk; or

Obligations immediately due and payable, regardless of the other payment provisions applying to

simultaneous or later exercise of any other such right, power, or remedy.
13. WAIVERS; CONTINUED LIABILITY. FHLBank shall not be deemed to have waived any of
its rights in this Blanket Agreement or to the Collateral unless FHLBank shall have made such
waiver in a writing that FHLBank has signed. No such waiver shall operate as a waiver of any other

delivery of a follow-up hard copy to the FHLBank by the means specified in subsection (b)(i) of
this Section 16.
17. GENERAL. The Act and the Laws of the State of Ohio shall govern all rights and
liabilities hereunder, except that only the Act shall govern eligibility for Advances and the rate
of interest that FHLBank assesses on Advances or other Obligations. This Agreement shall inure to
the benefit and bind the FHLBank, Borrower, each Pledging Affiliate and their respective successors
and assigns. Neither Borrower nor Pledging Affiliate may assign any of its rights hereunder or
delegate the performance of its duties without FHLBank’s prior written approval. Any provision
that any law or judicial ruling may limit or render unenforceable in whole or in part shall not
affect the validity or enforcement of any other part of such provision or any of the other
provisions of this Blanket Agreement.
This agreement supersedes and replaces a Blanket Agreement for Advances and Security Agreement
dated November, 2000 and a Commercial Real Estate Addendum dated October 10, 2002 but does not
supersede ore replace an Addendum dated February 26, 2004 relating to the Borrower’s sale of

construed as a reference to this Agreement.
