“In the event that a Dexia Event of Default as defined in the Pledge and Administration Agreement occurs (with respect to Seller, an “Event of Default”):”

 

For the avoidance of doubt, (x) no Events of Default shall apply to a Buyer and the provisions of Paragraph 11 referring to circumstances where the Buyer is the defaulting party shall be disregarded, and (y) all rights granted to the Buyers under Paragraph 11 may only be exercised by FSA, as Secured Party Representative, or by

Subparagraphs (c) through (i) of Paragraph 11 shall not apply.

 

Notwithstanding disapplication of subparagraph (d) of Paragraph 11, FSA, or the Liquidation Agent or the Collateral Agent at the direction of FSA, on behalf of each Buyer, shall have the right to sell Purchased Securities and to apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by Seller (including any unpaid Acceleration Payment that is due and payable), but in lieu of the provisions of subparagraph (d) of Paragraph 11, such right and any other related rights and remedies shall be exercised subject to and in accordance with Section 5.2(d) of the Pledge and Administration Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, liquidation of Collateral by FSA as the Secured Party Representative or the Liquidation Agent or Collateral Agent, as applicable, in accordance with Section 5.2(d) of the Pledge and Administration Agreement shall be considered an exercise of the foregoing right by a Buyer.

10.                               Novation of the Master Repurchase Agreement

 

(a)                                  If a Dexia Event of Default has occurred, Seller may (with the prior written consent of FSA), and at the direction of FSA, shall transfer all of its rights and obligations under the Master Repurchase Agreement to an FSAM Successor, such that (x) the relevant FSAM Successor shall succeed to all rights, obligations and security interests in favor of FSAM provided in the Pledge and Administration Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and (y) each Buyer shall continue to be secured by all FSAM Collateral notwithstanding such novation to the FSAM Successor.

 

(b)                                 If any such novation occurs, and whether such payment amounts are determined before or after such novation, (i) FSAM shall pay to the FSAM Successor an amount equal to each Acceleration Payment that becomes payable to a Buyer from time to time (which payment may be made in cash or satisfied in kind by delivery of Eligible Collateral posted under the Credit Support Annex securing the Dexia Guaranteed Put Contract or Dexia Non-Guaranteed Put Contract as applicable) and (ii) to the extent of any such Acceleration Payment by FSAM, the FSAM Successor shall
