and the Final Offering Circular;




     (v) The Issuer has the requisite power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement, the Securities, the Indenture and any other Transaction Document to which it is a
party and perform its obligations hereunder and thereunder;




     (vi) Each of the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party has been duly
authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer and constitutes the legal, valid and
binding obligation of the Issuer enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with its
terms, except as enforcement thereof may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency or other
similar laws relating to or affecting generally the enforcement of creditors’ rights or by
general equitable principles;




     (vii) The Issuer is not in violation of the LLC Agreement or in default in the
performance or observance of any obligation, agreement, covenant or condition contained in
any contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or lease to which it is a party or by



3









 







which it or its properties may be bound. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and
the Transaction Documents to which the Issuer is a party and the incurrence of the
obligations and consummation of the transactions herein and therein contemplated will not
conflict with, or constitute a breach of or default under, the LLC Agreement or any
contract, indenture, mortgage, loan agreement or lease, to which the Issuer is a party or by
which it or its properties may be bound, or any law, administrative regulation or court
decree;




     (viii) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Issuer;




     (ix) The Securities have been duly authorized for issuance, offer and sale as
contemplated by this Agreement and, when authenticated by the Indenture Trustee and issued

principles;




     (x) No consent, approval, authorization, order, registration or qualification of or
with any court or any regulatory authority or other governmental agency or body is required

and the Transaction Documents except to the extent provided for in the Transaction
Documents;




     (xi) There are no legal or governmental proceedings pending to which the Issuer is a
party or of which any property of the Issuer is the subject (other than any such proceedings

correct and are repeated herein as though fully set forth herein;




     (xiv) On and immediately after the Closing Date, the Issuer (after giving effect to
the issuance of the Securities and to the other transactions related thereto as described in
the Time of Sale Information and the Final Offering Circular) will be Solvent. As used in
this paragraph, the term “Solvent” means, with respect to a particular date, that on
such date (A) the present fair market value (or present fair saleable value) of the assets
of the
Issuer is not less than the total amount required to pay the probable liabilities of
the Issuer on its total existing debts and liabilities (including contingent liabilities) as
they become absolute and matured, (B) the Issuer is able to realize upon its assets and pay
its debts and

other liabilities, contingent obligations and commitments as they mature and
become due in the normal course of business, (C) assuming the sale of the Securities as

Circular, the Issuer is not incurring debts or liabilities beyond its ability to pay as such
debts and liabilities mature and (D) the Issuer is not engaged in any business or
transaction, and is not about to engage in any business or transaction, for which its
property would constitute unreasonably small capital after giving due consideration to the
prevailing practice in the industry in which the Issuer is engaged. In computing the amount
of such contingent liabilities at any time, it is intended that such liabilities will be
computed at the amount that, in the light of all the facts and circumstances existing at
such time, represents the amount that can reasonably be expected to become an actual or
matured liability;




     (xv) The Securities satisfy the eligibility requirements of Rule 144A(d)(3) under the
Securities Act;




     (xvi) None of the Issuer, any of its affiliates or any person acting on its or their
behalf has engaged or will engage, in connection with the offering of the Securities, in any

(“Regulation S”)), and all such persons have complied and will comply with the
offering restrictions requirements of Regulation S to the extent applicable;

agent, sold, offered for sale, solicited offers to buy or otherwise negotiated in respect
of, any security (as such term is defined in the Securities Act), which is or will be
integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that would require registration of
the Securities under the Securities Act;




     (xviii) None of the Issuer, any of its affiliates or any other person acting on its or
their behalf has engaged, in connection with the offering of the Securities, in any form of
general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the
Securities Act;




     (xix) There are no securities of the Issuer registered under the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or listed on a national securities
exchange or quoted in a U.S. automated inter-dealer quotation system;

prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act in connection with the offering of the

(“Eligible Collateral”) as such term is defined under the MLSA with reference to the
Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility: Terms and Conditions, as in effect on the
date of the Preliminary Offering Circular or the date of the Final Offering Circular, posted

at common law or otherwise, insofar as such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of,
or is based upon:





     (i)(A) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained or
incorporated by reference in the Preliminary Offering Circular, any other Time of Sale
Information or the Final Offering Circular or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in
any written communication described in Section 5(b)(iv) hereof or Section
5(b)(v) hereof or (B) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary
Offering Circular, any other Time of Sale Information or the Final Offering Circular or in
any amendment or supplement thereto or in any written communication described in Section
5(b)(iv) hereof or Section 5(b)(v) hereof a material fact required to be stated
therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however,
that the Issuer, PHH and VMS shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement in or omission or alleged omission from any of such
documents in reliance upon and in conformity with any Initial Purchasers’ Information,




     (ii) the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by the Issuer or PHH
in the TALF Certification or in any other document provided by the Issuer, VMS or PHH to the
FRBNY in connection with the Securities; or




     (iii) the breach of any obligation set forth in Section 4(s), (t) or (u) hereof,


and shall reimburse each Initial Purchaser promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by that Initial Purchaser in connection with investigating or defending or
preparing to defend against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.




          (b) Each Initial Purchaser, severally and not jointly, shall indemnify and hold harmless the
Issuer, PHH, VMS and their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives
and agents, and each person, if any, who controls the Issuer, PHH or VMS within the meaning of the
Securities Act or the Exchange Act, from and against any loss, claim, damage or liability, joint or
several, or any action in respect thereof, to which the Issuer, PHH or VMS may become subject,
whether commenced or threatened, under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any other federal or
state statutory law or regulation, at common law or otherwise, insofar as
such loss, claim, damage, liability or action arises out of, or is based upon, (i) any untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Preliminary Offering
Circular, any other Time of Sale Information or the Final Offering Circular or in any amendment or
supplement thereto or (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Preliminary Offering
Circular, any other Time of Sale Information or the Final Offering Circular or in any amendment or
supplement thereto a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading,
but in each case only to the extent that the untrue statement or alleged untrue



21









 






statement or
omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with any Initial
Purchasers’ Information furnished by such Initial Purchaser, and shall reimburse the Issuer, PHH
and VMS, as the case may be, promptly upon demand for any legal or other expenses reasonably
incurred by the Issuer, PHH or VMS in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to
defend against or appearing as a third party witness in connection with any such loss, claim,
damage, liability or action as such expenses are incurred.




          (c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 9 of notice of any
claim or the commencement of any action, the indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof
is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 9(a) or 9(b), notify the
indemnifying party in writing of the claim or the commencement of that action; provided,
however, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any
liability which it may have under this Section 9 except to the extent that it has been materially
prejudiced (through the forfeiture of substantive rights or defenses) by such failure; and,
provided, further, that the failure to notify the indemnifying party shall not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to an indemnified party otherwise than under this
Section 9. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an indemnified party, and it shall
notify the indemnifying party thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate
therein and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with any other similarly notified indemnifying
party, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party.
After notice from the indemnifying party to the indemnified party of its election to assume the
defense of such claim or action, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to the indemnified
party under this Section 9 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified
party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation;
provided, however, that an indemnified party shall have the right to employ its own
counsel in any such action, but the fees, expenses and other charges of such counsel for the
indemnified party will be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (1) the employment of
counsel by the indemnified party has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, (2) the
indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party)
that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different
from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, (3) a conflict or potential
conflict exists (based upon advice of counsel to the indemnified party) between the indemnified
party and the indemnifying party (in which case the indemnifying party will not have the right to
direct the defense of such action on behalf of the indemnified party) or (4) the indemnifying party
has not in fact employed counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party to assume the
defense of such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the commencement of the
action, in each of which cases the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of counsel will
be at the expense of the indemnifying party or parties. It is understood that the indemnifying
party or parties shall not, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same
jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements and other charges of more than
one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any one time for all such
indemnified party or parties. Each indemnified party, as a condition of the indemnity agreements
contained in Sections 9(a) and 9(b), shall use all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the
indemnifying party in the defense of any such action or claim. No indemnifying party shall be
liable for any settlement of any such action or claim effected without its written consent (which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), but if settled with its written consent or if there be
a final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action or claim, the indemnifying party
 agrees to




22









 







indemnify and hold harmless any indemnified party from and against any loss or liability by reason
of such settlement or judgment. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent of
the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), effect any settlement of
any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party is or could have
been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such indemnified party unless such
settlement (i) includes an unconditional release of such indemnified party from all liability on
claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding and (ii) does not include a statement as to
or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act by or on behalf of any indemnified party.




          The obligations of the Issuer, PHH, VMS and the Initial Purchasers in this Section 9 and in
Section 10 are in addition to any other liability that the Issuer, PHH, VMS or the Initial
Purchasers, as the case may be, may otherwise have, including in respect of any breaches of
representations, warranties and agreements made herein by any such party.




          10. Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 9 is unavailable or insufficient to hold
harmless an indemnified party under Section 9(a) or 9(b), then each indemnifying party shall, in
lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, contribute to the amount paid or payable by such
indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect
thereof, (i) in such proportion as shall be appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received
by the Issuer, PHH and VMS on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other from the
offering of the Securities or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted
by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Issuer, PHH and VMS on the one
hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other with respect to the statements or omissions that
resulted in such loss, claim, damage or liability, or action in respect thereof, as well as any
other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received by the Issuer, PHH and VMS
on the one hand and the Initial Purchasers on the other with respect to such offering shall be
deemed to be in the same proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering of the Securities
purchased under this Agreement (before deducting expenses) received by or on behalf of the Issuer
on the one hand, and the total discounts and commissions received by the Initial Purchasers with
respect to the Securities purchased under this Agreement, on the other, bear to the total gross
proceeds from the sale of the Securities under this Agreement. The relative fault shall be
determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to the Issuer,
PHH or VMS or information supplied by the Issuer, PHH or VMS on the one hand or to any Initial
Purchasers’ Information on the other, the intent of the parties and their relative
knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement
or omission. The Issuer, VMS, PHH and the Initial Purchasers agree that it would not be just and
equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 10 were to be determined by pro rata allocation
(even if the Initial Purchasers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method
of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to herein. The
amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the loss, claim, damage or liability,
or action in respect thereof, referred to above in this Section 10 shall be deemed to include, for
purposes of this Section 10, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified
party in connection with investigating or defending or preparing to defend any such action or
claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 10, no Initial



23









 






Purchaser shall be required
to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total discounts and commissions
received by such Initial Purchaser with respect to the Securities purchased by it under this
Agreement exceeds the amount of any damages which such Initial Purchaser has otherwise paid or
become liable to pay by reason of any untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged
omission. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of
the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation. The Initial Purchasers’ obligations to contribute as provided in
this Section 10 are several in proportion to their respective purchase obligations and not joint.




          11. Persons Entitled to Benefit of Agreement. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the Initial Purchasers,
the Issuer, VMS, PHH and their respective successors. This Agreement and the terms and provisions
hereof are for the sole benefit of only those persons, except as provided in Sections 9 and 10 with
respect to affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents and controlling
persons of the Issuer, PHH, VMS and the Initial Purchasers and in Section 4(e) with respect to
holders and prospective purchasers of the Securities. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or
shall be construed to give any person, other than the persons referred to in this Section 11, any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement or any provision
contained herein.




          12. Expenses. The Issuer agrees with the Initial Purchasers to pay (a) all costs, expenses, fees and
taxes incident to and in connection with the authorization, issuance, sale, preparation and
delivery of the Securities; (b) the costs incident to the preparation, printing and distribution of
the Preliminary Offering Circular, the Final Offering Circular and any amendments or supplements
thereto; (c) the costs of reproducing and distributing each of the Transaction Documents; (d) the
costs incident to the preparation, printing and delivery of the certificates evidencing the
Securities, including stamp duties and transfer taxes, if any, payable upon issuance of the
Securities; (e) the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Issuer, PHH, PHH Sub 1, PHH Sub
2, Holdings, the Origination Trust, VMS and independent accountants; (f) the reasonable fees and
expenses of counsel to the Initial Purchasers; (g) the fees and expenses of qualifying the
Securities under the securities laws of the several jurisdictions and of preparing, printing and
distributing Blue Sky Memoranda (including related fees and expenses of counsel for the Initial
Purchasers); (h) any fees charged by rating agencies for rating the Securities; (i) the fees and
expenses of the Indenture Trustee and any paying agent (including reasonable related fees and
expenses of any counsel to such parties); (j) all expenses and application fees incurred in
connection with the approval of the Securities for book-entry transfer by DTC; (k) the fees and
expenses incurred by the Issuer, VMS and PHH in connection with any “roadshow” presentations to
investors; and (l) all other costs and expenses incident to the performance of the obligations of
the Issuer, PHH and VMS under this Agreement which are not otherwise specifically provided for in
this Section 12; provided, however, that except as provided in this Section 12 and
Section 8, the Initial Purchasers shall pay their own costs and expenses.




          13. Survival. The respective indemnities, rights of contribution, representations, warranties and
agreements of the Issuer, VMS, PHH and the Initial Purchasers contained in this Agreement or made
by or on behalf of the Issuer, Holdings, VMS, PHH or the Initial Purchasers pursuant to this
Agreement or any certificate delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the delivery of and payment
for the Securities and shall remain in full force and effect, regardless of any



24









 






termination or
cancellation of this Agreement or any investigation made by or on behalf of any of them or any of
their respective affiliates, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents or controlling
persons.




          14. Notices, etc. All statements, requests, notices and agreements hereunder shall be in writing, and:





     (a) if to the Representatives or the Initial Purchasers, shall be delivered or sent by

Securities Act and (c) the term “written communication” has the meaning set forth in Rule 405
under the Securities Act.




          16. Initial Purchasers’ Information. The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that, for all purposes of this Agreement, the
Initial Purchasers’ Information consists solely of the following information in the Preliminary
Offering Circular and the Final Offering Circular: the last sentence on the cover page, the second
sentence of the 10th paragraph (regarding the intention to make a market for the
Securities) under “Plan of distribution” and the 11th paragraph (regarding
over-allotment and stabilizing transactions) under “Plan of distribution”.




          17. No Fiduciary Duty. Each of the Issuer, PHH and VMS acknowledge and agree that, in connection with the
offering of the Securities contemplated hereunder or any other services the Initial Purchasers may
be deemed to be providing hereunder, notwithstanding any preexisting relationship, advisory or
otherwise, between the parties or any oral representations or assurances previously or subsequently
made by the Initial Purchasers: (i) no fiduciary or agency relationship between the Issuer, PHH,
VMS and any other person, on the one hand, and the Initial Purchasers, on the other hand, exists;
(ii) the Initial Purchasers are not acting as advisor, expert or otherwise, to the Issuer, PHH or
VMS, and such relationship between the Issuer, PHH and VMS, on the one hand, and the Initial
Purchasers, on the other hand, is entirely and solely commercial, based on arms-length
negotiations; (iii) any duties and obligations that the Initial



25









 






Purchasers may have to the Issuer,
PHH or VMS shall be limited to those duties and obligations specifically stated herein; and (iv)
the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates may have interests that differ from those of
the Issuer, PHH and VMS. The Issuer, PHH and VMS hereby waive any claims that the Issuer, PHH or
VMS may have against the Initial Purchasers with respect to any breach of fiduciary duty in
connection with the offering of the Securities.




          18. No Petition. Each Initial Purchaser hereby agrees that, prior to the date that is one year and one day
after payment in full of all obligations under the Indenture, it will not institute against, or
join with any other Person in instituting against, the Issuer any bankruptcy, reorganization,
arrangement, insolvency or liquidation proceedings, or other similar proceeding, under any federal
or state bankruptcy or similar law.




          19. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State
of New York.




          20. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts (which may include counterparts
delivered by facsimile) and, if executed in more than one counterpart, the
executed counterparts shall each be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts shall
together constitute one and the same instrument.




          21. Amendments. No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Agreement, nor any consent or approval to
any departure therefrom, shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and
signed by the parties hereto.




          22. Headings. The headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to
be part of, or to affect the meaning or interpretation of, this Agreement.




          23. Limitation on Representations and Covenants of the Issuer, PHH and VMS




          The representations, covenants and agreements made by the Issuer, PHH and VMS in this
Agreement to any TALF Agent shall only extend to a TALF Agent in connection with the performance by
such TALF Agent of its obligations under TALF, and do not extend to and may not be relied upon by
any direct or indirect purchaser or owner of the Securities, or any other Person claiming by or
through any such purchaser or owner or any third party beneficiary, for any purpose or in any
circumstance, whether on the theory that a TALF Agent has acted or acts as their agent or
otherwise. For the avoidance of doubt, the limitations contained in this Section 23 shall apply
only to TALF Agents in their capacity as such and shall not be construed to limit the
representations, covenants and agreements made herein by the Issuer, PHH or VMS to any Initial
Purchaser in its capacity as an Initial Purchaser.

EXHIBIT F




TERM ASSET-BACKED SECURITIES FACILITY UNDERTAKING


September 11, 2009



          This Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility Undertaking (this “Undertaking”) is
executed as of the date first written above by PHH Corporation (the “Sponsor”) and
Chesapeake Funding LLC (the “Issuer” and, together with the Sponsor, the “Issuer
Parties”). Reference is hereby made to (i) the final offering circular, dated September 3, 2009
(the “Offering Memorandum”), relating to $850,000,000 aggregate principal amount of
Floating Rate Asset Backed Notes, Class A (the “Specified Securities”), issued by the
Issuer, (ii) each Master Loan and Security Agreement (the “MLSA”), by and among the Federal
Reserve Bank of New York, as lender (“Lender”), the TALF agents party thereto (the
“TALF Agents” and each, individually, a “TALF Agent”) and The Bank of New York
Mellon, as administrator and as custodian, executed in connection with the Term Asset-Backed
Securities Loan Facility (the “TALF Program”), and (iii) the certifications and indemnities
given by the Issuer Parties to Lender in connection with the Specified Securities (the “Issuer
Documents”).




          1. Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings
specified in the MLSA. In addition, as used herein, the following terms shall have the following
meanings (such definition to be applicable to both the singular and plural forms of such terms):





          “Agent Indemnified Party” means a Relevant Agent and each person, if any, who
controls any Relevant Agent within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended.




          “Relevant Agent” means any TALF Agent that is acting as agent on behalf of a
Borrower with respect to a Relevant Loan.




          “Relevant Loan” means any Loan for which any of the Specified Securities have
been pledged to Lender as Collateral.




          “TALF Provisions” means the portions of the Offering Memorandum that describe,
or are relevant to, the qualification of the Specified Securities as Eligible Collateral,
including without limitation the descriptions of the terms of the Specified Securities and
the assets generating collections or other funds from which the Specified Securities are to
be paid.



          2. Representations and Warranties. The Issuer Parties hereby represent, warrant and
agree, for the benefit of each Relevant Agent, as follows:





          (a) Each Specified Security constitutes Eligible Collateral.



 









 






          (b) The certifications contained in the Issuer Documents are true and correct, and the
Issuer Parties will promptly pay and perform their obligations under the Issuer Documents.




          (c) No statement or information contained in the TALF Provisions is untrue as to any
material fact or omits any material fact necessary to make the same not misleading.



          3. Indemnity.




          (a) The Issuer Parties shall, jointly and severally agree, upon demand from a Relevant Agent,
to reimburse the Agent Indemnified Parties for, to indemnify and defend the Agent Indemnified
Parties against, and hold Agent Indemnified Parties harmless from, any loss, claim, damage,
liability and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and expenses of
litigation) incurred by an Agent Indemnified Party in connection with an Issuer Party’s breach of
this Undertaking or the Issuer Documents; provided, however, that an Issuer Party shall not be
liable to an Agent Indemnified Party for such Agent Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful
misconduct or fraudulent actions as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final,
nonappealable order.




          (b) Each Agent Indemnified Party shall give the Sponsor written notice of any claim that such
Agent Indemnified Party may have under this indemnity. No Issuer Party shall be liable for any
claim that is compromised or settled by an Agent Indemnified Party without the prior written
consent of the Sponsor, provided that Sponsor responded promptly and in such Agent
Indemnified Party’s judgment, adequately, to such Agent Indemnified Party’s notice of such claim.
This indemnity remains an obligation of each Issuer Party notwithstanding termination of the MLSA
or the TALF Program or repayment in full of the Relevant Loans, and is binding upon each Issuer
Party’s successors and assigns. Upon written demand from an Agent Indemnified Party, each Issuer
Party shall pay promptly amounts owed under this indemnity free and clear of any right of offset,
counterclaim or other deduction.




          (c) Each Agent Indemnified Party’s right to indemnification hereunder shall be enforceable
against each Issuer Party directly, without any obligation to first proceed against any third party
for whom such Agent Indemnified Party may act, and irrespective of any rights or recourse that such
Issuer Party may have against any such third party.




          4. Acknowledgement. The Issuer Parties hereby acknowledge (a) the existence of the
MLSA and the terms thereof and (b) that the Relevant Agents are obtaining the Relevant Loans,
pledging the Specified Securities as collateral therefor and undertaking obligations, in each case
as agents on behalf of the Borrowers with respect thereto in reliance on the representations,
warranties, covenants and indemnities of the Issuer Parties set forth in this Undertaking. This
Undertaking is for the sole benefit of the Agent Indemnified Parties in connection with the
performance by a Related Agent of its obligations with respect to the TALF Program and not in its
capacity as an underwriter of the Specified Securities, and may not be relied upon by (i) the Agent
Indemnified Parties for any other purpose or (ii) any direct or indirect purchaser or owner of the
Specified Securities, or any other Person claiming by or

through any such purchaser or owner or any third party beneficiary, for any purpose or in any
circumstance, whether on the theory that the TALF Agents act as their agents or otherwise.




          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Issuer Parties have duly executed this Undertaking as of the day and
year first written above.
