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 Securities shall be transferred to Buyer or its agent against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of Seller.

  (b)   Upon agreeing to enter into a Transaction hereunder, Buyer or Seller (or both), as shall be agreed, shall promptly deliver to the other party a written confirmation of each Transaction (a “Confirmation”).

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).

  (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 the 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 Buyer and Seller.

  (e)   Seller and Buyer 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 Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any such Transactions).

  (f)   Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of Buyer 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   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 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.

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 Buyer’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. b403.4 (e) if Seller is a government securities broker

or dealer other than a financial institution.

  **   Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. b403.5(d) if Seller is a financial institution.

9   Substitution

  (a)   Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer, 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, by-law 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.

11   Events of Default

In the event that (i) Seller fails to transfer or Buyer fails to purchase 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 Buyer 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 Buyer shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to the Seller of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.

  (b)   In all Transactions in which the Seller is acting as Seller, if the Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the Seller’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 Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the Seller hereunder, and (iii) the Seller shall immediately deliver to the Buyer any Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in the Seller’s possession or control.

  (c)   In all Transactions in which the Seller is acting as Buyer, upon tender by the Buyer of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all such Transactions, all right, title and interest in and entitlement to all Securities subject to such Transactions shall be deemed transferred to the Buyer, and the Seller shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the Buyer.

  (d)   If the Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the Buyer, without prior notice to the Seller, may:

  (i)   as to Transactions in which the Seller 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 Buyer 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 Seller hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give the Seller 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 Seller hereunder; and

  (ii)   as to Transactions in which the Seller 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 Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities (“Replacement Securities”) of the same class and amount as any Securities that are not delivered by the Seller to the Buyer 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 Asset, the Buyer 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 Seller is acting as Buyer, the Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by the Buyer for Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for the Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the Seller under Paragraph 5 hereof or otherwise hereunder.

  (f)   For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each Transaction hereunder in respect of which the Seller 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 Buyer of the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.

  (g)   The Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the Buyer 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 Seller shall be liable to the Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by the Seller hereunder, from the date the Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by the Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the Seller to the Buyer 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 Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

12   Single Agreement

Buyer and Seller 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.

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 herefrom 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.

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 the 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 Securities 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 Securities 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).

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 the 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.

“(a) On a monthly basis on each of the first nine (9) Payment Dates, immediately after the monthly allocation of Income under Paragraph 5(a) of the Master Repurchase Agreement, Seller shall pay to Buyer (in addition to all other amounts otherwise due and payable in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Master Repurchase Agreement), for immediate application by Buyer to reduce the then-current Purchase Price, cash in the amount necessary to cause the Purchase Price to be reduced by an amount equal to at least the Mandatory Monthly Payment Amount, with Seller to receive a credit for all reductions in the Purchase Price made either on the applicable Payment Date or on any other previous Payment Dates pursuant to Paragraph 5(a) of the Master Repurchase Agreement.

(b) On the tenth (10th) Payment Date, Buyer shall divide the then-current unpaid Purchase Price by five (5) and notify Seller that the results of that calculation shall thereafter be treated as the “Quarterly Amortization Amount”. Beginning on the twelfth (12th) Payment Date, and continuing on a quarterly basis thereafter on each of the 15th, 18th, 21st and 24th Payment Dates, through and including the Repurchase Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer (in addition to all other amounts otherwise due and payable in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Master Repurchase Agreement), for immediate application by Buyer to reduce the then-current Purchase Price, cash in the amount necessary to cause the Purchase Price to be reduced by an amount at least equal to the Quarterly Amortization Amount, with Seller to receive a credit for all reductions in the Purchase Price made either (i) on that Payment Date, the immediately preceding two (2) Payment Dates or any other previous Payment Dates pursuant to Paragraph 5(b) of the Master Repurchase Agreement and/or (ii) pursuant to Paragraph 5(c) of the Master Repurchase Agreement in the immediately preceding three months, including, in either case, without limitation, all Purchased Asset Income Payment Amounts received on such Payment Dates, provided Buyer receives such amounts.

  (d)   Paragraph 5 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

“Seller hereby agrees to instruct each applicable trustee and servicer to transfer all Income directly to Buyer, for application by Buyer on each Payment Date as set forth below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any payment of Income is paid directly to Seller, each such payment received by Seller shall be held in trust by Seller for Buyer’s benefit and immediately, but in no event later than two (2) Business Day after receipt by Seller from Buyer of a notice of such misdirected payment, shall be remitted to Buyer.

(d) Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Seller from paying Buyer amounts in addition to the payment set forth above, which amounts shall be immediately applied by Buyer to reduce the then-current Purchase Price and credited to Seller.”

  (e)   Paragraph 6 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

“(a) Although the transfer of the Purchased Assets from Seller to Buyer in connection with the Transaction is intended by the parties to be a sale by Seller to Buyer, and not a loan from Buyer to Seller, if the transfer is deemed to be a loan, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged, and does hereby pledge, to the Secured Parties as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under the Transaction and each of the Purchase Documents, and shall be deemed to have granted, and does hereby grant to the Secured Parties, a security interest in the Purchased Assets with respect to the Transaction, all Income thereon and other proceeds thereof, other agreements or contracts relating to, constituting, or otherwise governing, any or all of the foregoing to the extent they relate to the Purchased Assets including the right to receive principal and interest payments with respect to the Purchased Assets, if any, all “general intangibles”, “accounts”, “chattel paper”, “deposit accounts”, “instruments” and “investment property” as defined in the UCC relating to or constituting any and all of the foregoing, and any and all replacements, substitutions, distributions on or proceeds of any and all of the foregoing (collectively, the “Collateral”).

(b) The Buyer’s security interest in the Collateral shall terminate only upon termination of the Seller’s obligations under this Repurchase Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith and therewith. Upon such termination, Buyer shall deliver to Seller such UCC termination statements and other release documents as may be commercially reasonable and to return the Collateral to Seller. For purposes of the grant of the security interest pursuant to Paragraph 6 of this Repurchase Agreement, this Repurchase Agreement shall be deemed to constitute a security agreement under the UCC. Buyer shall have all of the rights and may exercise all of the remedies of a secured creditor under the UCC and the other laws of the State of New York. In furtherance of the foregoing, (a) Seller, at its sole cost and expense, shall cause to be filed in such locations as may be necessary to perfect and maintain perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby, UCC financing statements and continuation statements (collectively, the “Filings”), and shall forward copies of such Filings to Buyer upon completion thereof, and (b) Seller shall from time to time take such further actions as may be reasonably requested by Buyer to maintain and continue the perfection and priority of the security interest granted hereby (including marking its records and files to evidence the interests granted to Buyer hereunder).

(c) This Paragraph 6 does not constitute and is not intended to result in a creation or an assumption by Buyer or any of the Secured Parties of any obligation of Seller or any other Person in connection with the Purchased Assets or under any agreement or instrument relating thereto. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, (a) Seller shall remain liable under the Purchased Assets to the extent set forth herein to perform all of its duties and obligations hereunder to the same extent as if this Repurchase Agreement had not been executed, (b) the exercise by the Secured Parties of any of their rights in the Purchased Assets shall not release Seller from any of its duties or obligations under the Purchased Assets, and (c) neither Buyer nor any other Secured Party shall have any obligations or liability under the Purchased Assets by reason of this Repurchase Agreement, nor shall Buyer or any Secured Party be obligated to perform any of the obligations or duties of Seller hereunder or to take any action to collect or enforce any claim for payment assigned hereunder.”

  (f)   Paragraph 7 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby amended by inserting the following after the existing paragraph:

“All of Seller’s right, title and interest in the Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date. Seller has delivered to Buyer or its designee a fully executed copy of a Direction Letter for each Purchased Asset, sent to and countersigned by the applicable recipient. On or before November 21, 2008, (the “Required Delivery Date”), Seller shall deliver, or cause to be delivered (as applicable), to Buyer or its designee (i) for each Purchased Assets registered in the name of Seller, a complete executed set of any transfer documents, executed with transferee name in blank, in form sufficient to allow transfer and registration of the Purchased Assets in the name of Buyer or a third-party identified by Buyer and (ii) for each Purchased Assets registered in the name of a party other than the Seller, (a) a complete executed set of any transfer documents in form sufficient to allow transfer and registration of the Purchased Assets in the name of Seller and (b) a complete executed set of any transfer documents from Seller, executed with transferee name in blank, in form sufficient to allow transfer and registration of the Purchased Assets in the name of Buyer or a third-party identified by Buyer (collectively, the “Seller Deliverables”). The Purchased Assets shall not remain in the possession of Seller or any of its agents. If either (a) any Seller Deliverable is not delivered to the Buyer on or before the Required Delivery Date or (b) for any Purchased Asset, the Seller fails to comply with the provisions of the initial paragraph of Paragraph 5, Seller shall immediately repurchase the applicable Purchased Asset, together with all other Purchased Assets issued by the issuer of such Purchased Asset for which a copy of a “debt-for-tax” opinion has not also been delivered to the Buyer, at a purchase price determined by Buyer in its reasonable discretion except that if, on the Required Delivery Date, any Seller Deliverable is still outstanding, then, so long as Seller, in Buyer’s reasonable judgment, is acting in good faith to deliver such Seller Deliverable, Buyer may grant an extension of an additional reasonable period of time of a length chosen by Buyer in its sole discretion in order to allow for delivery of such Seller Deliverable. Upon repurchase of the Purchased Assets and the payment in full of all obligations hereunder, Buyer shall deliver to Seller or its designee a complete set of all of the transfer documents originally delivered to the Buyer pursuant to this Paragraph 7.”

Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Purchased Asset or other Collateral, Buyer may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion exercised in good faith and (2) 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 Purchased Assets or other Collateral).

(e) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (i) the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a result of an Event of Default and (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.

(f) To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller shall be liable to Buyer for interest on any amounts owing by Seller hereunder, from the date Seller becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i) paid in full by Seller or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of Buyer’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by Seller to Buyer under this Paragraph 11(g) shall be at a rate equal to the Post-Default Rate.

(g) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.

(h) Buyer shall have the right to obtain physical possession of all files of Seller relating to the Collateral and all documents relating to the Collateral that are then or may thereafter come into the possession of Seller or any third party acting for Seller (other than the portion thereof that consists solely of internal analysis prepared by Seller) and Seller shall deliver to Buyer such assignments as Buyer shall request. Buyer shall be entitled to specific performance of all agreements of Seller contained in this Repurchase Agreement.

(i) Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of Net Worth Event, Buyer may, at its option and at any time, declare that the Repurchase Date for the Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur. Buyer shall give notice to Seller of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable. For the avoidance of doubt, failure by the Seller to repurchase the Purchased Assets on such Repurchase Date shall constitute an Event of Default pursuant to Paragraph 11(a)(i) hereunder.

  (k)   Paragraph 15 of the Master Repurchase Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

“(a) Seller may not assign any of its rights or obligations under this Repurchase Agreement. Buyer may at any time assign all of its rights and obligations under this Repurchase Agreement to a single entity that (i) is then-currently a REIT including, without limitation, to any Affiliate of Buyer that is then-currently a REIT, (ii) is then-currently a Qualified Institutional Buyer (as defined in the Securitization Documents) including, without limitation, to any Affiliate of Buyer that is then-currently a Qualified Institutional Buyer and (iii) simultaneously agrees to bound by the transfer restriction set forth in Paragraph 11(d) of this Repurchase Agreement and otherwise complies with all of the other requirements of the applicable securitization transaction. Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer in connection with any such assignment, and to enter into such restatements of, and amendments, supplements and other modifications to, this Repurchase Agreement in order to give effect thereto.

(b) Title to the Purchased Assets shall pass to Buyer, and Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of the Purchased Assets. Nothing in this Repurchase Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with any of the Purchased Assets and Collateral or otherwise selling, pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating any of the Purchased Assets and Collateral, all on terms that Buyer may determine in its sole discretion; provided, however, that absent a default by the Seller, the Secured Parties may not cause the Purchased Assets or Collateral to be sold for federal income tax purposes, it being understood that a pledge of the Purchased Assets or Collateral by a Secured Party or a Secured Party entering into a repurchase agreement with respect to the Purchased Assets or Collateral that is treated as a financing for federal income tax purposes shall not cause the Purchased Assets or Collateral to be sold for federal income tax purposes, so long as the pledgee or buyer may not, in turn, sell, pledge, rehypothecate, or otherwise transfer the Purchased Assets or Collateral; provided further that Buyer shall transfer the Purchased Assets to Seller on the Repurchase Date free and clear of any pledge, Lien, security interest, encumbrance, charge or other adverse claim on the Purchased Assets. Nothing contained in this Repurchase Agreement shall obligate Buyer to segregate the Purchased Assets or Collateral transferred to Buyer by Seller.

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, absent a default by the Seller, the Secured Parties and Seller agree to treat each Transaction as a loan by the Secured Party to Seller that is secured by the Purchased Assets and the Collateral for U.S. federal, state and local income tax purposes unless otherwise required pursuant to a “determination” within the meaning of Section 1313 of the Code.”

3.   FURTHER ASSURANCES. Seller shall promptly provide such further assurances or agreements as Buyer may reasonably request in order to effect the purposes of this Repurchase Agreement. In addition, Seller agrees, at Buyer’s request, to take all actions reasonably necessary to restructure the terms of this Repurchase Agreement.

4.   COUNTERPARTS. This Repurchase Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which counterparts shall be deemed to be an original, and such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument.

5.   REMEDIES; WAIVER.

  (i)   Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Secured Parties shall have, with respect to the security interest in the Purchased Assets granted pursuant to Paragraph 6 of this Repurchase Agreement, and in addition to all other rights and remedies available to Buyer and the Secured Parties under this Repurchase Agreement or other Applicable Law, all rights and remedies of a secured party upon default under the UCC.

  (ii)   Seller agrees, to the full extent that it may lawfully so agree, that neither it nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any appraisement, valuation, stay, extension or redemption law now or hereafter in force in any locality where any of the Purchased Assets may be situated in order to prevent, hinder or delay the enforcement or foreclosure of this Repurchase Agreement, or the absolute sale of the Purchased Assets or any part thereof, or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of buyers thereof, and Seller, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may be lawful so to do, the benefit of all such laws and any and all right to have any of the Properties or assets constituting the Purchased Assets marshaled upon any such sale, and agrees that Buyer or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose the security interests granted in this Repurchase Agreement may sell the Purchased Assets as an entirety or in such parcels as Buyer or such court may determine.

  (iii)   No failure on the part of Buyer or a Secured Party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right or remedy hereunder preclude any further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies herein provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights and remedies provided by law.

6.   TAXES.

(a) Any and all payments by or on behalf of the Seller under or in respect of this Repurchase Agreement or any Purchased Asset or Collateral shall be made free and clear of, and without deduction or withholding for or on account of Taxes, unless required by law. If Taxes shall be required to be deducted or withheld any from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Repurchase Agreement or any Purchased Asset or Collateral to a Secured Party (i) all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes shall be made and paid to the relevant taxation authority or in accordance with any requirement of law, and (ii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after all required deductions and withholdings have been made (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 6) such Secured Party receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes. For purposes of this Repurchase Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of a Secured Party, Taxes that are imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Secured Party is organized or of its applicable lending office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of such Secured Party having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Repurchase Agreement (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes).

(b) In addition, Seller hereby agrees to pay any present or future stamp, recording, documentary, excise, property or value-added taxes, or similar taxes, charges or levies that arise from any payment made under or in respect of this Repurchase Agreement or from the execution, delivery or registration of, any performance under, or otherwise with respect to, this Repurchase Agreement (collectively, “Other Taxes”).

(c) Seller hereby agrees to indemnify the Secured Parties and their direct or indirect beneficial owners for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed on the Secured Parties and their direct or indirect beneficial owners by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 6 and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto. The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 6(c) shall apply and be made whether or not the Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted. Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 6(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which the Secured Party makes written demand therefor.

(d) Within thirty (30) days after the date of any payment of Taxes, Seller (or any Person making such payment on behalf of Seller) shall furnish to the Secured Party for its own account a certified copy of the original official receipt evidencing payment thereof.

(e) For purposes of this Section 6(e), the terms “United States” and “United States person” shall have the meanings specified in Section 7701 of the Internal Revenue Code. Each Secured Party (including for avoidance of doubt any assignee, successor or participant) that either (i) is not incorporated under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia or (ii) whose name does not include “Incorporated,” “Inc.,” “Corporation,” “Corp.,” “P.C.,” “insurance company,” or “assurance company” (a “Non-Exempt Secured Party”) shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller the following properly completed and duly executed documents:

(i) in the case of a Non-Exempt Secured Party that is not a United States person or is a foreign disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes that is entitled to provide such form, a complete and executed (x) U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN with Part II completed in which the Secured Party claims the benefits of a tax treaty with the United States providing for a zero or reduced rate of withholding (or any successor forms thereto), including all appropriate attachments or (y) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8ECI (or any successor forms thereto); or

(ii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Secured Party that is an individual, (x) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a certificate substantially in the form of Exhibit C (a “Section 6 Certificate”) or (y) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Secured Party that is organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or any successor forms thereto); or

(iv) in the case of a Non-Exempt Secured Party that (x) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia and (y) is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN (or any successor forms thereto) and a Section 6 Certificate; or

(v) in the case of a Non-Exempt Secured Party that (A) is treated as a partnership or other non-corporate entity, and (B) is not organized under the laws of the United States, any State thereof, or the District of Columbia, (x)(i) a complete and executed U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor forms thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 6 Certificate, and (y) without duplication, with respect to each of its beneficial owners and the beneficial owners of such beneficial owners looking through chains of owners to individuals or entities that are treated as corporations for U.S. federal income tax purposes (for purposes of this Section 6(e)(v) all such owners, “beneficial owners”), the documents that would be provided by each such beneficial owner pursuant to this Section 6(e) if such beneficial owner were a Secured Party, provided, however, that no such documents will be required with respect to a beneficial owner to the extent the actual Secured Party is determined to be in compliance with the requirements for certification on behalf of its beneficial owner as may be provided in applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, or the requirements of this clause (v) are otherwise determined to be unnecessary, all such determinations under this clause (v) to be made in the sole discretion of Seller, provided, however, that Secured Party shall be provided an opportunity to establish such compliance as reasonable; or

(vi) in the case of a Non-Exempt Secured Party that is disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the document that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vii) and/or this clause (vi) of this Section 6(e) with respect to its beneficial owner if such beneficial owner were the Secured Party; or

(vii) in the case of a Non-Exempt Secured Party that (A) is not a United States person and (B) is acting in the capacity as an “intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), (x)(i) a U.S. Internal Revenue Service Form W-8IMY (or any successor form thereto) (including all required documents and attachments) and (ii) a Section 6 Certificate, and (y) if the intermediary is a “non-qualified intermediary” (as defined in U.S. Treasury Regulations), from each person upon whose behalf the “non-qualified intermediary” is acting the documents that would be required by clause (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), and/or this clause (vii) with respect to each such person if each such person were a Secured Party.

If the Secured Party provides a form pursuant to clause (i)(x) and the form provided by the Secured Party at the time such Secured Party first becomes a party to this Repurchase Agreement or, with respect to a grant of a participation, the effective date thereof, indicate a United States interest withholding tax rate in excess of zero, withholding tax at such rate shall be treated as Taxes other than “Non-Excluded Taxes” (“Excluded Taxes”) and shall not qualify as Non-Excluded Taxes unless and until such Secured Party provides the appropriate form certifying that a lesser rate applies, whereupon withholding tax at such lesser rate shall be considered Excluded Taxes solely for the periods governed by such form. If, however, on the date a Person becomes an assignee, successor or participant to this Repurchase Agreement, Secured Party transferor was entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under this Section 6, then the Secured Party assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts to the extent (and only to the extent), that the Secured Party transferor was entitled to such indemnification or additional amounts for Non-Excluded Taxes, and the Secured Party assignee, successor or participant shall be entitled to additional indemnification or additional amounts for any other or additional Non-Excluded Taxes.

(f) For any period with respect to which a Secured Party has failed to provide Seller with the appropriate form, certificate or other document described in subsection (e) of this Section 6 (other than (i) if such failure is due to a change in any requirement of law, or in the interpretation or application thereof, occurring after the date on which a form, certificate or other document originally was required to be provided or (ii) if it is legally inadvisable or otherwise commercially disadvantageous for such Secured Party to deliver such form, certificate or other document), such Secured Party shall not be entitled to indemnification or additional amounts under subsection (a) or (c) of this Section 6 with respect to Non-Excluded Taxes imposed by the United States by reason of such failure; provided, however, that should a Secured Party become subject to Non-Excluded Taxes because of its failure to deliver a form, certificate or other document required hereunder, Seller shall take such steps as such Secured Party shall reasonably request, to assist such Secured Party in recovering such Non-Excluded Taxes.

(g) Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 6 shall survive the termination of this Repurchase Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Nothing contained in this Section 6 shall require the Secured Parties to make available any of its tax returns or any other information that it deems to be confidential or proprietary.

7.   INDEMNIFICATION.

  (a)   Without limiting any other rights that any such Person may have hereunder or under Applicable Law, Seller hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless, Buyer, the Secured Parties and each of their respective assigns and officers, directors, shareholders, owners, members, partners, attorneys, Affiliates, employees and agents thereof (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), forthwith on demand, from and against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related documented costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees and disbursements (all of the foregoing being collectively referred to as the “Indemnified Amounts”) awarded against or incurred by such Indemnified Party or any of them arising out of or as a result of this Repurchase Agreement or the security interest in the Collateral granted to Buyer or the ownership of an interest in the Purchased Assets or in respect of the Purchased Asset or any commitment to purchase the Purchased Assets, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense is found in a final, non appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against any and all damages, losses, claims, liabilities and related documented costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) with respect to the Purchased Assets or any Collateral relating to or arising out of any environmental condition or any violation or alleged violation of any law, rule or regulation, except to the extent such claim, damage, loss, liability, cost, or expense is found in a final, non appealable judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct. If Seller has made any indemnity payment pursuant to this Section 7 and such payment fully indemnified the recipient thereof and the recipient thereafter collects any payments from others in respect of such Indemnified Amounts, then, the recipient shall repay to Seller an amount equal to the amount it has collected from others in respect of such indemnified amounts. Without limiting the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold any Indemnified Party harmless from and indemnify such Indemnified Party against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to or resulting from:

  (1)   any representation or warranty made or deemed made by Seller or any of their respective officers under or in connection with this Repurchase Agreement that shall have been false or incorrect in any material respect when made or deemed made or delivered;

  (2)   the failure by Seller to comply with any term, provision or covenant contained in this Repurchase Agreement or any agreement executed in connection therewith beyond any applicable notice and cure periods, or with any Applicable Law or with respect to the Purchased Assets, or the nonconformity of the Purchased Assets with any such Applicable Law;

  (3)   the failure to vest and maintain vested in Buyer an undivided ownership interest or perfected security interest in the Purchased Assets, together with all Income, free and clear of any Lien (other than Permitted Liens), whether existing at the time of the Transaction or at any time thereafter;

  (5)   any dispute, claim, offset or defense (other than the discharge in bankruptcy of the Obligor) of the Obligor to the payment with respect to the Purchased Assets (including, without limitation, a defense based on the Purchased Assets not being a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Obligor enforceable against it in accordance with its terms), or any other claim resulting from the sale of the merchandise or services related to the Purchased Assets or the furnishing or failure to furnish such merchandise or services;

  (6)   any failure of Seller to perform its duties or obligations in accordance with the provisions of this Repurchase Agreement or any failure by Seller or any Affiliate of Seller to perform their respective duties under the Purchased Assets;

  (7)   the failure of Seller to remit (or cause the appropriate party to remit) any Income due hereunder to Buyer pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement on or before the date such Income is required to be transferred directly to Buyer (whether by the exercise of setoff rights or otherwise);

  (8)   any inability to obtain any judgment in, or utilize the court or other adjudication system of, any state in which an Obligor may be located as a result of the failure of Seller to qualify to do business or file any notice or business activity report or any similar report;

  (9)   any action taken by Seller in the enforcement, collection or foreclosure of the Purchased Assets;

  (10)   any products liability claim or personal injury or property damage suit or other similar or related claim or action of whatever sort arising out of or in connection with the Purchased Assets or services that are the subject of the Purchased Assets;

  (11)   any claim, suit or action of any kind or nature whatsoever, in respect of the Purchased Assets, arising out of or in connection with Environmental Laws, including any vicarious liability;

  (12)   the failure by Seller to pay when due any Taxes for which Seller is liable, including, without limitation, sales, excise or personal property taxes payable in connection with the Purchased Assets;

  (13)   any repayment by Buyer or a Secured Party of any amount previously distributed in payment of the Repurchase Price of the Purchased Assets, payment of Price Differential or any other amount due hereunder, in each case which amount Buyer or a Secured Party believes in good faith is required to be repaid;

  (14)   the commingling by Seller or any of its Affiliates of Income on the Purchased Assets at any time with other funds;

  (15)   any investigation, litigation or proceeding related to this Repurchase Agreement or the use of proceeds of the Transaction or the security interest in the Purchased Assets;

  (16)   the use of the proceeds of the Transaction in a manner other than as provided in this Repurchase Agreement;

  (17)   the Purchased Assets treated as or represented as satisfying the criteria set forth in this Repurchase Agreement for purchase hereunder, at the applicable time, does not satisfy the foregoing criteria; or

  (18)   the exercise by any Obligor of any rights of setoff against Seller or any of its Affiliates or the exercise of any rights by an Obligor that impacts, impairs, reduces or diminishes any Income or any Purchased Asset.

  (b)   In the case of an investigation, litigation or other proceeding to which the indemnity in Section 7(a) applies, such indemnity shall be effective whether or not such investigation, litigation or proceeding is brought by Seller, its directors, shareholders or creditors or an Indemnified Party or any other Person or any Indemnified Party otherwise a party thereto. Seller agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, attorneys, agents, and advisers, on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to this Repurchase Agreement, any of the transactions contemplated herein or the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the Transaction. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by an Indemnified Party in connection with the Purchased Assets for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of the Purchased Assets, Seller will save, indemnify and hold such Indemnified Party harmless from and against all expense, loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off, counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, Indebtedness or liability at any time owing to or in favor of such account debtor or Obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller also agrees to reimburse an Indemnified Party as and when billed by such Indemnified Party for all the Indemnified Party’s costs and expenses incurred in connection with the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer’s rights under this Repurchase Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby, including, without limitation, the fees and disbursements of its counsel.

  (c)   Seller shall, whether or not the Transaction contemplated hereby is consummated, promptly: (i) pay as when billed by Buyer, all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses of any Indemnified Party in connection with the enforcement of this Repurchase Agreement and the enforcement of any amendment, waiver or consent relating hereto or thereto and the documents and instruments referred to herein and therein (and the amount of such costs and expenses shall, until paid, bear interest at the Pricing Rate (or at the Post-Default Rate, at any time the Post-Default Rate is applicable to the Transaction)); (ii) pay and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all present and future stamp, documentary, issue, sales and use, value added, property and other similar Taxes with respect to the matters described in foregoing clause (i) and hold the Indemnified Parties harmless from and against any and all liabilities with respect to or resulting from any delay or omission to pay such Taxes; and (iii) indemnify each Indemnified Party from and hold each of them harmless against any and all Indemnified Amounts incurred by any of them as a result of, or arising out of, or in any way related to, or by reason of, the entering into and/or performance of this Repurchase Agreement or the use of the proceeds of the Transaction hereunder or the consummation of any transactions contemplated herein.

  (d)   Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of Seller contained in this Section 7 shall survive the repayment of all amounts owing to Buyer by Seller under this Repurchase Agreement and the termination of the commitment of Buyer hereunder.

  (e)   Indemnification under this Section 7 shall be in an amount necessary to make the Indemnified Party whole after taking into account any tax consequences to the Indemnified Party of the receipt of the indemnity provided hereunder, including the effect of such Tax or refund on the amount of Tax measured by net income or profits that is or was payable by the Indemnified Party.

  (f)   Without limiting the rights and remedies of the Buyer under the Purchase Documents, Seller shall pay the Buyer’s documented out of pocket costs and expenses, including, without limitation, expenses of accountants and external counsel, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation, execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to, the Purchase Documents and the Transaction thereunder. Seller agrees to pay the Buyer on demand all costs and expenses (including expenses actually incurred to external counsel for legal services of every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of the performance by the Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the Purchased Assets and the Collateral, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement, collection, compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Purchased Assets and/or the Collateral and for the custody, care or preservation of the Purchased Assets and the Collateral (including insurance costs) and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay the Buyer on demand all documented costs and expenses (including expenses for legal services actually incurred to external counsel) incurred in connection with registering the Purchased Assets in the name of the Buyer or its nominee. All such expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to the Buyer under this Repurchase Agreement.

8.   NOTICES. With respect to any notices, statements, demands or other communications delivered to Buyer by Seller pursuant to this Repurchase Agreement, Seller shall deliver a copy of any such notice, statement, demand or other communication to Buyer at the address specified in Annex II hereto.

9.   JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL.

  (a)   EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY AGREES TO THE NON–EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK. EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO AND EACH SECURED PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS AND ANY OBJECTION TO VENUE OF ANY ACTION INSTITUTED HEREUNDER IN ANY OF THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS AND CONSENTS TO THE GRANTING OF SUCH LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RELIEF AS IS DEEMED APPROPRIATE BY SUCH COURT.

  (b)   TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO HEREBY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN THE PARTIES HERETO, ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED TO, OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ANY OF THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS REPURCHASE AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. INSTEAD, ANY SUCH DISPUTE RESOLVED IN COURT WILL BE RESOLVED IN A BENCH TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY.

10.   AMENDMENTS AND WAIVERS. No amendment, waiver or other modification of any provision of this Repurchase Agreement shall be effective without the written agreement of Seller and Buyer. Any waiver or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given. Any provision of this Repurchase Agreement may be waived by Buyer; provided, that no failure or delay on the part of Buyer in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Purchase Document and no course of dealing with respect to any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Purchase Document shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder or under any other Purchase Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder or thereunder. The rights, powers and remedies herein or in any other Purchase Document expressly provided are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers or remedies which Buyer would otherwise have. No notice to or demand on Seller in any case shall entitle Seller to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the rights of Buyer to any other or further action in any circumstances without notice or demand. An Event of Default under this Repurchase Agreement shall be deemed to be continuing unless subsequently cured by Seller or expressly waived by Buyer in writing.

11.   RIGHT OF SET-OFF. In addition to any rights now or hereafter granted under applicable law or otherwise, and not by way of limitation of such rights, Seller hereby grants to Buyer and its Affiliates a right of offset, to secure repayment of all amounts owing to Buyer and its Affiliates by Seller under the Purchase Documents, upon any and all monies, securities, collateral or other Property of Seller and the proceeds therefrom, now or hereafter held or received by Buyer or its Affiliates or any entity under the control of Buyer or its Affiliates and their respective successors and assigns (including, without limitation, branches and agencies of Buyer or its Affiliates wherever located), for the account of Seller, whether for safekeeping, custody, pledge, transmission, collection, or otherwise, and also upon any and all deposits (general or specified) and credits of Seller at any time existing. Buyer and its Affiliates are hereby authorized at any time and from time to time upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, without notice to Seller, to offset, appropriate, apply and enforce such right of offset against any and all items hereinabove referred to against any amounts owing to Buyer or its Affiliates by Seller under the Purchase Documents, irrespective of whether either of Buyer or its Affiliates shall have made any demand hereunder and although such amounts, or any of them, shall be contingent or unmatured and regardless of any other collateral securing such amounts. Seller shall be deemed directly indebted to Buyer and its Affiliates in the full amount of all amounts owing to Buyer and its Affiliates by Seller under the Purchase Documents, and Buyer and its Affiliates shall be entitled to exercise the rights of offset provided for above.
