    transactional and operational policies, procedures and
    practices. Such structure and terms also may vary from time to
    time with respect to GSE Trusts established by the same GSE to

    ownership of GSE Securities upon delivery thereof in accordance
    with the related Placement Agreement and Settlement Agreement.



 



    (c) Allocation of Principal and Interest; Available
    Funds Only. All principal and interest received on Program
    Bonds represented by Custodial Receipts related to a GSE

    distributions will be made, solely on an available-funds basis.



 



    (d) Distribution Dates. The GSE Trusts will
    distribute funds available from payments received from the

    not a Business Day, the next succeeding Business Day. Subject to
    the Program Bond payment dates represented in a GSE Security,
    distributions may not necessarily be payable every calendar
    month.



 



    3.4.  Partial Guarantee; No Other Guarantee.



 



    (a) Each GSE will provide a partial guarantee (the
    “Partial Guarantee”) to its GSE Trusts as a
    means of documenting its loss sharing obligations to the GSE
    Trusts regarding the related GSE Securities as provided in
    Article 5 and Schedule C of this
    Agreement.



 



    (b) The GSE Securities, together with interest thereon,
    will not be guaranteed by the United States and will not
    constitute a debt or obligation of the United States or any
    agency or instrumentality thereof other than the related GSE
    Trust and other than with respect to the Partial Guarantee which
    shall be an obligation of the related GSE.



 



    3.5.  GSE Fees.



 



    (a) Each GSE will be entitled to a Program Bond Guarantee
    Fee to compensate the GSE for (i) its Loss Sharing
    obligations pursuant to Article 5,

    with the New Issue Bond Program. The Program Bond Guarantee Fee
    and the other fees chargeable by the GSEs under the New Issue
    Bond Program are set forth in Schedule A of this
    Agreement.



 



    (b) In the event the interest payments received on a series
    of Program Bonds at any time is less than the Program Bond
    Guarantee Fee with respect to such series of Program Bonds, the
    GSE shall be entitled to charge such shortfall against





    

    7








 







    interest payments received on any other Program Bonds and to
    recoveries of any interest payments on any such Program Bonds.



 



    (c) Each GSE shall be entitled to an Initial Securitization
    Fee on the Settlement of each GSE Security as set forth in
    Schedule A of this Agreement.

    Decision Control on and after the Crossover Date. The identity
    of the party having Decision Control shall not affect the

    consult with the relevant GSE, and each GSE agrees to make
    recommendations to Treasury, with respect to the issues for
    which Decision Control by Treasury is to be exercised.

    underlying Program Bonds; provided that with respect to any
    series of GSE Securities, Treasury shall make such request of
    both GSEs at the same time and provided further that any
    additional details related to the process for any such
    dissolution or withdrawal and any related fees to be paid to the
    GSEs shall be agreed to by the parties at the time of
    Treasury’s written request.

    CERTAIN
    MATTERS.



 



    11.1.  With respect to each Settlement and as of such
    Settlement Date, Treasury shall be deemed to have acknowledged
    and agreed to the following provisions:



 



    (a) Subject to receipt thereof in accordance with this
    Agreement or the related Settlement Agreement, Treasury hereby
    acknowledges and agrees that it or Treasury’s Agent has
    been furnished with each related GSE PPM and Official Statement,
    and such other documents with respect to the related GSE
    Securities, the corresponding Program Bonds and the underlying
    loans provided to it or Treasury’s Agent under such related

    (a) ask questions of, and receive answers from, the related
    GSE concerning the terms and conditions of the purchase of the
    related GSE Securities, and (b) obtain any additional
    information necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of
    purchasing the GSE Securities.



 



    (b) In considering the purchase of the related GSE
    Securities, Treasury has evaluated for itself the risks and
    merits of such purchase including the risks set forth under the
    caption “Risk Factors” (or similar caption), if any,
    in the related GSE PPM and Official Statement, and has not
    relied upon any representations made by, or other information
    (whether oral or written) furnished by or on behalf of, the
    related GSE, or





    

    11








 







    any director, officer, employee or agent of such GSE, other than
    as expressly set forth in the related GSE PPM and the Closing
    Counsel Certification.



 



    (c) Neither GSE has made, nor was required to make, on
    behalf of Treasury or any other party, any inquiry or
    investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
    resolution, certificate, official statement, private placement
    memorandum, prospectus, supplement, instrument, opinion, report,
    notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other
    paper or document with respect to any Program Bond, and, other
    than with respect to the Closing Counsel Certification, any
    inquiry or investigation into any facts or matters it may have
    conducted shall be exclusively for the benefit of such GSE.



 



    11.2.  Each of the parties to this Agreement agrees
    that it will in good faith cooperate and consult with the other
    parties to this Agreement in respect of, and share any findings
    that such party documents in a writing in accordance with its
    normal internal policies and procedures as to, an actual or
    potential Transaction Loss. However, in no event shall any party
    to this Agreement be obligated to make any inquiry or
    investigation into the facts or matters stated in any
    resolution, certificate, official statement, private placement
    memorandum, prospectus, supplement, instrument, opinion, report,
    notice, request, direction, consent, order, bond, note or other
    paper or document with respect to any Program Bond for the
    benefit of any of the other parties to this Agreement.



 




    ARTICLE 12
    



 




    INTERPRETATION.



 



    Each of the parties acknowledges that it and its in-house
    and/or

    of construction which disfavors the drafting party shall not

    ARTICLE 13
    



 




    GOVERNING
    LAW.



 



    This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in
    accordance with, United States law, not the law of any state or
    locality. To the extent that a court looks to the laws of any
    state to determine or define the United States law, it is the
    intention of the parties to this Agreement that such court shall
    look only to the laws of the State of New York without regard to
    the rules of conflicts of laws.



 




    ARTICLE 14

    changed address of which no notice was given pursuant to this
    Article 14. Any of the parties to this Agreement
    may, by such notice described above, designate any further or
    different address to which subsequent notices, certificates or

    Section 2     General
    Statement.  Treasury and the GSEs will share
    Program Losses, if any, realized on:





    

    C-3








 







    (a) the principal of the New Issue Bonds backing GSE
    Securities issued from time to time under the New Issue Bond
    Program; and



 



    (b) the principal portion of all Credit Advances and
    Liquidity Advances made from time to time under the Temporary
    Credit and Liquidity Facilities issued under the Temporary
    Credit and Liquidity Facility Program.



 



    Any losses incurred with respect to accrued but unpaid interest
    on any of the New Issue Bonds backing the GSE Securities issued
    from time to time under the New Issue Bond Program and on any
    Credit Advance or Liquidity Advance made from time to time under
    the Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facilities issued under the
    Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility Program are not subject
    to sharing with the GSEs and will be entirely borne by Treasury.
    No loss sharing shall occur with respect to the Multifamily
    Credit Enhancement Program as a GSE will have provided credit
    enhancement for such Bonds separately.



 



    Section 3     GSE Only Shares
    in Losses for its Activities in Programs.  The
    sharing of Program Losses will be structured between Treasury
    and each GSE separately. A GSE will only share in Program Losses
    realized on the New Issue Bonds backing the GSE Securities
    issued by that GSE and on losses realized on that GSE’s
    portion of the Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facilities.
    Neither GSE will share in Program Losses allocable to the other
    GSE.



 



    Section 4     Allocation of
    Losses between Treasury and GSE.  Treasury will
    bear all Program Losses realized on the New Issue Bond Program
    and the Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility Program up to
    the First Loss Limit (“First Position Losses”). Each
    GSE will bear Program Losses, if any, realized on the New Issue
    Bond Program and the Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility
    Program once the Program Losses, if any, realized by Treasury
    equal the First Loss Limit (“Second Position Losses”).



 



    Section 5     First Loss
    Limit.  With respect to a GSE, the First Loss
    Limit will be 35% of the sum of:



 



    (a) the aggregate original principal amount of all New
    Issue Bonds backing the GSE Securities issued from time to time
    under the New Issue Bond Program by that GSE; and



 



    (b) the aggregate original principal portion of the Amount
    Available obligated to be paid by each GSE in each Temporary
    Credit and Liquidity Facility issued under the Temporary Credit
    and Liquidity Facility Program.



 



    Such First Loss Limit may be adjusted by the GSEs and Treasury
    if the aggregate amount under either (a) or (b) above
    is less than $10 billion, or upon the obtaining or
    processing of information impacting the applicable Risk Ratings,
    or such other material new information that affects risk,
    commercial reasonableness, or safety and soundness under either
    the New Issue Bond Program or the Temporary Credit and Liquidity
    Facility Program. Any such adjustment shall be made in good
    faith by the GSEs and Treasury





    

    C-4








 







    based upon objective thresholds factoring into, among other
    things, the applicable Risk Ratings and the aggregate amounts
    set forth in (a) and (b) above.



 



    Section 6     When Transaction
    Loss is Calculated.



 



    (a) New Issue Bond Program. Under the New Issue Bond
    Program, Transaction Loss will be calculated separately with
    respect to each Program Bond upon twelve (12) months after
    the first to occur of:



 



    (1) the stated maturity date of the New Issue Bond;



 



    (2) the date the New Issue Bond is fully redeemed;



 



    (3) the date of acceleration of the New Issue Bond; or



 



    (4) the date of mandatory tender in lieu of redemption of
    the New Issue Bond.



 



    (b) Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility Program.
    Under the Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility Program,
    Transaction Loss will be calculated for each Temporary Credit
    and Liquidity Facility upon the last to occur of:



 



    (1) the date the GSE has no further obligation under the
    Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility;



 



    (2) the date all Bank Bonds, if any, are paid in full,
    remarketed or redeemed; or



 



    (3) twelve (12) months after the first to occur of:



 



    (A) a Credit Advance remains unreimbursed;



 



    (B) a Bank Bond is not paid or redeemed when due; or



 



    (C) the GSE causes the acceleration, redemption or
    mandatory tender of the Bonds upon the occurrence of an Event of
    Default under any of the Transaction Documents.



 



    Section 7     How Losses are
    Determined.



 



    Transaction Losses will be calculated for a New Issue Bond or a
    Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility as follows:



 



    (a) New Issue Bond Program. Under the New Issue Bond
    Program, a Transaction Loss under a New Issue Bond is the amount
    of principal of such New Issue Bond then due and unpaid as of
    the date that Transaction Loss is calculated. Any accrued and
    unpaid interest and any interest on interest or interest on
    other unpaid sums will not be included in Transaction Losses and
    will be borne solely by Treasury.





    

    C-5








 







    (b) Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility Program.
    Under the Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility Program, a
    Transaction Loss under a Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility
    is:



 



    (1) all amounts owing and unpaid by the HFA under the
    related Reimbursement Agreement (relating to the principal
    portion of unreimbursed Credit Advances and unreimbursed
    Liquidity Advances); less



 



    (2) the sum of all amounts reimbursed, received or
    recovered on account of the amounts owing under paragraph
    (1) above prior to the Loss Calculation Date.



 



    The amount of any Transaction Loss will be allocated between
    unreimbursed Credit Advances and unreimbursed Liquidity Advances
    (and the related Bank Bonds) on the basis of the ratio of
    aggregate unreimbursed principal of the Credit Advances to the
    aggregate unreimbursed principal of the Liquidity Advances.



 



    Transaction Losses will be adjusted pursuant to the provisions
    of Sections 11 and 12.



 



    (c) Calculation Rules. For purposes of determining
    Transaction Loss under the New Issue Bond Program:



 



    (1) Transaction Loss will be calculated only with respect
    to the Bonds actually held by the related Trust. Any Bonds that
    were not acquired by the Trust shall be excluded from the
    calculation of Transaction Loss.



 



    (2) For purposes of calculating Transaction Loss, all
    payments made by the trustee for the Bonds shall be applied as
    principal or interest as characterized by the trustee for the
    Bonds in making such payment. Should the trustee for the Bonds
    not characterize a payment as either principal or interest, then
    that payment shall be characterized as required by the indenture
    or bond resolution for the Bonds. If the trustee for the Bonds
    does not characterize the payment as principal or interest and
    the related indenture or resolution contains no relevant terms,
    then the payment shall be applied first to outstanding and
    unpaid principal of the Bonds in the order of their stated
    maturity dates and then to accrued and unpaid interest on the
    Bonds in the order of their stated maturity dates.



 



    Section 8     Procedure for
    Reporting a Transaction Loss.  Pursuant to the
    timeframes set forth in Paragraph 6 above, the GSE will
    calculate, or cause to be calculated, the amount of Transaction
    Loss, if any, realized on a New Issue Bond or Temporary Credit
    and Liquidity Facility as provided in Paragraph 7 above.



 



    Section 9     Reporting if No
    Transaction Loss Calculated.  If the calculation
    prepared in accordance with Paragraph 7 above shows that no
    Transaction Loss was realized, the GSE will provide or cause to
    be provided a statement to that effect to Treasury within
    90 days of the Loss Calculation Date.





    

    C-6








 







    Section 10     Reporting if
    Transaction Loss Calculated; Payment of Second Position Loss.



 



    (a) Reconciliation. If the calculation shows that a
    Transaction Loss was realized, the GSE will send a written
    reconciliation calculation to Treasury within 90 days of
    the Loss Calculation Date which specifies:



 



    (1) Transaction Identification: The New Issue Bond
    or Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility for which the
    reconciliation is made.



 



    (2) Transaction Loss: The Transaction Loss realized
    on the New Issue Bond or Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility
    as of the Loss Calculation Date.



 



    (3) Program Losses:



 



    (A) Aggregate Program Losses (excluding only the
    Transaction Loss then just calculated for the New Issue Bond or
    Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility for which the
    reconciliation is made); and



 



    (B) Aggregate Program Losses realized as of the Loss
    Calculation Date (including the Transaction Loss then just
    calculated for the New Issue Bond or Temporary Credit and
    Liquidity Facility for which the reconciliation is made).



 



    (4) The First Loss Limit.



 



    (5) The amount of the First Loss Limit still to be borne by
    Treasury.



 



    (b) First Position Losses. If the amount calculated
    in (a)(3)(B) is not more than the First Loss Limit, then the
    Transaction Loss for the New Issue Bond or Temporary Credit and
    Liquidity Facility for such reconciliation calculation is fully
    First Position Losses.



 



    (c) Partial First Position Losses; Partial Second
    Position Losses. If the amount appearing in (a)(3)(A) is
    less than the First Loss Limit but the amount calculated in
    (a)(3)(B) exceeds the First Loss Limit, then:



 



    (1) the portion of the Transaction Loss equal to the
    difference between the amount appearing in (a)(3)(A) and the
    First Loss Limit constitutes First Position Losses; and



 



    (2) the remaining portion of the Transaction Loss not
    allocated to the First Position Losses constitutes Second
    Position Losses.



 



    (d) Second Position Losses. If the amount appearing
    in (a)(3)(A) is more than the First Loss Limit, then the entire
    Transaction Loss constitutes Second Position Losses.





    

    C-7








 







    (e) Loss Sharing Payment. The GSE will pay the
    amount of any Second Position Losses (less all amounts
    previously paid by the GSE to Treasury as Second Position
    Losses) to Treasury or its order not later than 90 days
    after the Loss Calculation Date. Loss sharing payments made with
    respect to GSE Securities will be made as a distribution under
    the GSE Security and all other loss sharing payments will be
    paid to Treasury to such account as Treasury may require.



 



    Section 11     Recoveries;
    Losses are Incurred But Not In Excess of the First Loss
    Limit.  This Section applies if a GSE has
    calculated that a Transaction Loss has been realized with
    respect to one or more New Issue Bonds or Temporary Credit and
    Liquidity Facilities but the amount of the aggregate Program
    Losses has not exceeded the First Loss Limit. If one or more
    payments are received or other amounts are received or recovered
    with respect to any New Issue Bond or Temporary Credit and
    Liquidity Facility in respect of a Transaction Loss, then all
    such amounts will be paid to Treasury and the related
    Transaction Loss and, consequently, the aggregate Program Losses
    will be reduced by the amount of such Recovery.



 



    Section 12     Recoveries;
    Losses are Incurred Which Exceed the First Loss
    Limit.  This Section applies if a GSE has
    calculated that a Transaction Loss has been realized with
    respect to one or more New Issue Bonds or Temporary Credit and
    Liquidity Facilities, aggregate Program Losses exceed the First
    Loss Limit and the GSE has paid any Second Position Losses to
    Treasury. If one or more payments are received or other amounts
    are received or recovered with respect to any New Issue Bond or
    Temporary Credit and Liquidity Facility in respect of a
    Transaction Loss, then:



 



    (a) the related Transaction Losses and, consequently, the
    aggregate Program Losses will be reduced by the amount of such
    Recovery;



 



    (b) the GSE shall be entitled to such payments and other
    amounts, but not in excess of the amount of the Second Position
    Losses previously paid to Treasury; and



 



    (c) any excess available after the payment made in
    subparagraph (b) above shall be paid to Treasury.



 



    Section 13     Partial
    Guarantees of GSE Securities.  In order to
    evidence a GSE’s loss sharing obligations with respect to
    the GSE Securities it issues, the GSE will issue a partial
    guarantee to the related Trust (“Partial Guarantee”)
    for Program Losses allocable to such GSE Securities. The GSE
    will make a payment under a Partial Guarantee only under the
    circumstances set out in this Exhibit.



 



    Section 14     Termination of
    Loss Sharing Upon Unwinding of GSE Security.  A
    GSE’s loss sharing obligations and any related Partial
    Guarantee will automatically terminate with respect to any New
    Issue Bonds or Bank Bonds and the related GSE Security if
    Treasury causes a GSE Security to be unwound in exchange for the
    underlying New Issue Bonds or Bank Bonds.

    SCHEDULE D-1



 




    DESCRIPTION
    OF PROGRAM BONDS

    (SINGLE-FAMILY-ESCROW)



 



    Terms capitalized in this
    Schedule D-1
    and not defined in Article 1 of this Agreement will have
    the meaning assigned to such terms in the Complete Indenture.



 



    In order to qualify as Eligible Bonds under the New Issue Bond
    Program, the Program Bonds, the related Complete Indenture and
    the HFA must satisfy the following requirements:



 



    1. Taxability:  At issuance, the Program
    Bonds will be tax-exempt qualified mortgage bonds within the
    meaning of Section 143 of the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986. If the Program Bonds do not satisfy the requirements of
    the foregoing sentence, then the HFA hereby certifies that it
    reasonably expects to have volume cap or alternative means of
    issuing tax-exempt bonds on a timely basis and in a manner which
    will permit the release of all Escrowed Proceeds (as defined
    below) by December 31, 2010, and will use its reasonable
    best efforts to obtain volume cap if necessary.



 



    2. Term:  The Program Bonds are stated to
    mature on a maturity date that is:



 



    (a) not less than ten (10) years after the
    Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds; and



 



    (b) not more than thirty-two (32) years from the
    Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds.



 



    3. Sinking Fund:  The Program Bonds are
    subject to mandatory sinking fund redemptions or are structured
    to pass through principal payments and principal prepayments on
    the underlying mortgage loans. The sinking fund redemption
    schedule or alternative redemption/prepayment requirements will
    be established and added to the Complete Indenture no later than
    the final Release Date. This schedule (or these redemption
    provisions) is required by the terms of the Complete Indenture
    to take into account anticipated underlying mortgage loan
    amortization and standard and customary practices of the HFA in
    connection with combined serial bond and term bond issuances.



 



    4. Market Bond Ratio Requirement:



 



    At issuance, the HFA must reasonably expect to issue and sell to
    persons other than Treasury, in conjunction with the issuance
    and subsequent conversion to a permanent rate of the Program
    Bonds, bonds that are not Program Bonds but which are issued out
    of the same indenture and the proceeds of which are intended to
    be used in the HFA’s single-family loan program
    (“Market Bonds”). The HFA intends to issue
    Market Bonds after the Settlement Date and before
    January 1, 2011 so that after such issuances, the principal
    amount of the Market Bonds will be not less than two-thirds
    (2/3) of the principal amount of the Program Bonds
    (“Market Bond Ratio Requirement”).





    

    D-1-1








 







    5. Certain Terms Applicable to Market
    Bonds:  The Complete Indenture provides that
    Market Bonds may not be issued with “super sinker”,
    planned amortization classes or other priority allocation class
    rights unless such provisions retain for application to the
    redemption of the Program Bonds at least a pro rata portion of
    any prepayments or other recoveries of principal relative to
    mortgage loans funded or mortgage-backed securities purchased
    with proceeds of the Program Bonds.



 



    6. Escrow Requirement:  The Complete
    Indenture provides that:



 



    (a) Certain of the net proceeds of the Program Bonds must
    be held in Escrow (as defined below) until, with respect to all
    or the relevant portion of the Program Bonds, (i) the
    Market Bond Requirement is satisfied and (ii) the Program
    Bonds are tax-exempt. “Market Bond Ratio
    Requirement” means the requirement that the HFA issue
    and deliver Market Bonds in conjunction with and as a condition
    to each Release Date, the principal amount of such Market Bonds
    being not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the principal amount of
    Program Bonds the proceeds of which are proposed to be released
    on such Release Date.



 



    (b) The amount of net proceeds that must be escrowed at any
    given time (“Escrowed Proceeds”) is all
    proceeds of the Program Bonds with respect to which the
    requirements for the release of Escrowed Proceeds have not been
    met.



 



    (c) The Escrowed Proceeds will be held in escrow under the
    Complete Indenture (“Escrow”) pending the
    satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 6(e)
    below.



 



    (d) Escrowed Proceeds must be invested in such investments
    as permitted by Treasury and set forth in the Supplemental
    Indenture (“Permitted Escrow Investments”).
    Permitted Escrow Investments are pledged exclusively to the
    repayment of the Program Bonds unless and until there is a
    default under the Complete Indenture, in which case such funds
    will be applied as required by the Complete Indenture.



 



    (e) Escrowed Proceeds may be released from Escrow, subject
    to, among other things, the conditions that:



 



    (i) The HFA delivers a bond counsel opinion to the HFA
    Trustee to the effect that interest on the Program Bonds related
    to the Escrowed Proceeds to be released is exempt from federal
    income taxation under Section 103 of the Code;



 



    (ii) The HFA delivers to the HFA Trustee, who is required
    to provide copies to the Administrator, the GSEs and
    Treasury’s Financial Agent a certificate of Market Bond
    issuance and calculation of the release amount pursuant to the
    Market Bond Ratio Requirement; and



 



    (iii) The HFA delivers or causes to be delivered to the HFA
    Trustee net proceeds of the Market Bonds, which proceeds
    (together with any amounts deducted from proceeds for
    underwriting fees and expenses) shall be in an amount not less
    than two-thirds (2/3) of the applicable portion of the principal
    amount of the Program Bonds being Converted.





    

    D-1-2








 







    (f) Any Program Bonds with respect to which a Release Date
    has not occurred prior to January 1, 2011 are subject to
    mandatory redemption on February 1, 2011 (or an earlier
    date selected by the HFA), at a redemption price equal to 100%
    of the principal amount thereof plus accrued interest to the
    redemption date.



 



    7. Minimum Rating:  The Program Bonds have
    a long-term rating of not less than
    ’Baa3’/’BBB-’. The Complete Indenture
    provides that to the extent that the minimum rating threshold
    for the Program Bonds is not maintained while the proceeds
    thereof are Escrowed Proceeds, all proceeds that are still held
    in Escrow must be used to redeem a corresponding amount of
    Program Bonds.



 



    8. Interest Rate:  The Complete Indenture
    provides that each Pre-Conversion Bond shall bear interest at
    the Short-Term Rate from the Settlement Date to the related
    Conversion Date. The interest rate on some or all of the
    Pre-Conversion Bonds may be Converted on a Conversion Date to a
    Permanent Rate in accordance with the provisions thereof.
    Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date. The
    capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
    have the following definitions:



 



    “Conversion Date” means, with respect to all or
    a portion of Pre-Conversion Bonds that are converting to a
    Permanent Rate, the date two (2) months after the related
    Release Date; provided that there shall be no more than three
    (3) Conversion Dates.



 



    “Four Week T-Bill Rate” means the interest rate
    for Four Week Treasury Bills (secondary market) as reported by
    the Federal Reserve on its website at the following internet
    address
    -http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/h15upd.htm.



 



    “Permanent Rate” means an interest rate per
    annum certified to the HFA Trustee by the Special Permanent Rate
    Advisor on or prior to the Release Date, which shall be equal to
    the sum of the 10 year Constant Maturity Treasury Rate, as
    reported by Treasury as of the close of business on the Business
    Day immediately before the applicable Permanent Rate Calculation
    Date for Program Bonds, established by reference to the Daily
    Treasury Yield Curve Rates published by Treasury, currently
    available on its website
    at:http://www/ustreas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest-rate
    /yield.shtml, plus (ii) the Spread.



 



    “Permanent Rate Calculation Date” means the
    date on which the Permanent Rate is calculated with respect to
    all or a portion of the Program Bonds, which shall be, with
    respect to each applicable portion of the Pre-Conversion Bonds,
    either (i) a date selected by the HFA and acceptable to the
    GSEs prior to the Settlement Date or (ii) a date selected
    by the HFA and acceptable to the GSEs on or prior to
    December 31, 2010 on which Market Bonds are priced;
    provided that, with respect to dates described in
    clause (ii) above, a bond purchase agreement must be
    executed with respect to the Market Bonds on such date for such
    Permanent Rate to be effective.



 



    “Pre-Conversion Bonds” means Program Bonds for
    which the interest rate has not been the subject of a conversion.





    

    D-1-3








 







    “Release Date” means such date or dates (not to
    exceed three (3) dates) on or prior to December 31,
    2010 and which dates are acceptable to the GSEs, on which dates
    the proceeds of the related Market Bonds are delivered to the
    HFA Trustee and the other requirements under the Complete
    Indenture are met.



 



    “Short-Term Rate” means (i) for the period
    from the Settlement Date to the applicable Release Date, the
    interest rate which produces an interest payment on such Release
    Date relative to the Program Bonds with respect to which
    Escrowed Proceeds are subject to release on such Release Date
    equal to Investment Earnings, and (ii) from the Release
    Date to the Conversion Date, an interest rate equal to the sum
    of the Spread plus the lesser of (A) the Four Week
    T-Bill Rate as of the Business Day prior to the Release Date or
    (B) the Permanent Rate less the Spread. For purposes of
    this provision, “Investment Earnings” means
    total investment earnings on the portion of the Escrow Fund
    related to Program Bonds with respect to which a Release Date is
    occurring. [Alternatively, the HFA may elect a Short-Term Rate
    equal to a variable Four Week T-Bill Rate plus, after the
    Release Date, the Spread]



 



    “Spread” means additional per annum interest on
    the Program Bonds based upon the lowest Bond Rating effective as
    of the Permanent Rate Calculation Date to the Program Bonds
    under the Complete Indenture by the rating agencies rating the
    Program Bonds, as follows:



 


	 	 	 
	

    Rating


	
 
	
    Additional Spread

	

    ‘Aaa’/‘AAA’


	
 
	
    60 bps

	

    ‘Aa’/‘AA’


	
 
	
    75 bps

	

    ‘A’

    ‘Baa’/‘BBB’


	
 
	
    225 bps











 



    9. Use of Proceeds:



 



    (a) The Complete Indenture provides that the proceeds of
    the Program Bonds must, except as provided in Section 9(b)
    below, be used only (i) to acquire and finance the holding
    of single-family loans or single-family mortgage-backed
    securities which are either newly originated or refinanced, so
    long as all such loans are eligible to be financed on a
    tax-exempt basis under applicable federal income tax law
    (“eligible loans”) or (ii) to fund
    reasonably required reserves and pay costs of issuance of the
    Program Bonds in accordance with the requirements and
    limitations of applicable federal tax law.



 



    (b) Proceeds of the Program Bonds may be used to refund, as
    fixed rate bonds, any of the HFA’s variable rate debt
    (including auction rate securities) issued and outstanding prior
    to October 19, 2009 or to refund an issue that did so, so
    long as such debt was, in turn, issued to acquire and finance
    the holding of eligible loans. The aggregate of such use of
    proceeds is not greater than thirty percent (30%) of the net
    proceeds of the Program Bonds. The restrictions on refundings in
    this Section 9(b) do not apply to either (i) the use
    of proceeds to repay “warehouse credit lines” used to
    acquire mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities or
    (ii) “replacement refundings” where proceeds of
    Program Bonds are exchanged dollar-for-dollar for unexpended





    

    D-1-4








 







    tax exempt bond proceeds
    and/or
    mortgage loan prepayments so long as all proceeds of related
    Market Bonds are exchanged first for such purpose.



 



    10. Issuance Limitation:  The HFA hereby
    certifies that the sum of:



 



    (i) the face amount of the Program Bonds;



 



    (ii) the face amount of the Market Bonds issued at the time
    of issuance of the Program Bonds; and



 



    (iii) the face amount of all other Market Bonds which must
    be issued prior to January 1, 2011 in order for the Market
    Bond Ratio Requirement to be satisfied by no later than that
    date;



 



    does not exceed the reasonable expectations requirement
    applicable to tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The principal
    amount of the Program Bonds does not exceed the amount allocated
    to the HFA under the Single-Family New Issue Bond Program.



 



    11. Redemption:  The Complete Indenture
    provides that:



 



    (a) The Program Bonds are redeemable in whole or in part
    (in minimum denominations of $10,000 and integral multiples of
    $10,000 in excess thereof). Redemptions of Program Bonds may be
    made without premium or penalty.



 



    (b) Except as limited by tax law requirements, all proceeds
    of the Program Bonds, to the extent not used to acquire mortgage
    loans or mortgage backed securities, refund prior bonds as
    permitted above, pay Program Bond issuance expenses or fund
    related reserve accounts, must be applied exclusively to the
    redemption of Program Bonds.



 



    (c) Except as limited by tax law requirements, so long as
    any Market Bonds remain outstanding, at least 60% or, if no
    Market Bonds are Outstanding, 100% of all principal prepayments
    and other recoveries of principal received with respect to the
    mortgage loans or mortgage backed securities financed with the
    proceeds of the Program Bonds must be applied to the redemption
    of the Program Bonds, to the extent not used to pay scheduled
    principal, interest, or sinking fund redemptions on Program
    Bonds, Market Bonds or other bonds issued in conjunction with
    and secured by the Trust Estate on a parity with the
    Program Bonds.



 



    12. No Recycling:  The Complete Indenture
    provides that all principal payments, principal prepayments and
    other recoveries of principal received with respect to the
    mortgage loans financed with the proceeds of the Program Bonds
    may not be recycled into new mortgage loans or mortgage backed
    securities.



 



    13. Selected Covenants:  The Complete
    Indenture includes, without limitation, the following covenants:



 



    (a) The HFA shall take all steps necessary to assure that
    all assets and revenues of any description pledged to the
    payment of the Program Bonds and all other bonds issued under





    

    D-1-5








 







    the Complete Indenture shall be applied strictly in accordance
    with, and solely for the purposes and in the amounts specified
    and permitted by, the terms of the Complete Indenture.



 



    (b) The HFA shall not issue new bonds under the Complete
    Indenture in a variable rate demand, adjustable rate or auction
    rate mode other than Program Bonds during the period such
    Program Bonds bear interest at the Short-Term Rate.



 



    (c) With respect to the purchase, origination, enforcement
    and servicing of mortgage loans and mortgage backed securities
    (“MBS”), the HFA shall:



 



    (i) originate or cause to be originated and, if applicable,
    purchased, mortgage loans, and purchase, or cause to be

    supplements thereto and such other related documents by which
    the HFA is bound;



 



    (ii) cause all mortgage loans to be serviced pursuant to
    the servicing requirements of the HFA, GNMA, FHA, Fannie Mae and

    enforce all terms of the mortgage loans, MBS, loan program
    documents and all such other documents evidencing obligations to
    the HFA; and



 



    (iv) diligently take all actions consistent with sound
    mortgage loan origination, purchase and servicing practices and

    revenues to pay debt service when due on the Program Bonds.



 



    (d) The HFA shall not issue bonds senior in priority to the
    Program Bonds and the HFA hereby represents and warrants that
    the Program Bonds are at least equal in priority with respect to
    payment and security to the most senior Outstanding Bonds under

    Terms capitalized in this
    Schedule D-2
    and not defined in Article 1 of this Agreement will have
    the meaning assigned to such terms in the Complete Indenture.

    2. [Premium Bonds.  The amount to be paid
    by Treasury for the GSE Securities backed by the Program Bonds
    and which is allocable to the Program Bonds (before the netting
    out of any fees or expenses) is equal to the stated principal of
    the Program Bonds; that is, no portion of the Program Bonds were
    issued at a premium.. If the Program Bonds do not satisfy the

    satisfy the following criteria:



 



    (a) The aggregate original stated principal amount of the
    Premium Bonds is
    $          
    (“Premium Bond Amount”). The aggregate original
    stated principal amount of all Program Bonds subject to
    immediate funding is
    $          
    (“Total Amount”). The Premium Bond Amount does

    the underlying mortgage loans. The sinking fund redemption
    schedule (or alternative





    

    D-2-1








 







    redemption/prepayment requirements) is contained in the Complete
    Indenture. The HFA hereby certifies that such schedule (or these
    redemption provisions) takes into account anticipated underlying
    mortgage loan amortization, and standard and customary practices
    of the HFA in connection with combined serial bond and term bond
    issuances.



 



    5. Market Bond Ratio Requirement:  At
    issuance, the HFA hereby represents and warrants that it has,
    prior to the Settlement Date, issued and sold to persons other

    Bonds, bonds that are not Program Bonds but which are issued out
    of the same indenture and the proceeds of which are intended to
    be used in the HFA’s single-family loan program
    (“Market Bonds”). The principal amount of such

    mortgage loans funded or mortgage-backed securities purchased
    with proceeds of the Program Bonds.



 



    7. Minimum Rating:  The Program Bonds have

    (i)           
    percent (     %) per annum, the
    index rate certified to the HFA by Treasury’s agent, State
    Street Global Advisors, and (ii) a Spread of
               bps
    based on the long-term rating described in Section 7 above.

    (a) The Complete Indenture provides that, except as set
    forth in (b) and (c) below, the proceeds of the
    Program Bonds must be used only (i) to acquire and finance
    the holding of single-family loans or single-family
    mortgage-backed securities which are either newly originated or
    refinanced, so long as all such loans are eligible to be
    financed on a tax-exempt basis under applicable federal income
    tax law (“eligible loans”) or (ii) to fund
    reasonably required reserves and pay costs of issuance of the
    Program Bonds in accordance with the requirements and

    fixed rate bonds, certain of the HFA’s variable rate debt
    (including auction rate securities) issued and outstanding prior
    to October 19, 2009 or refund an issue that did so, so long
    as such debt was, in turn, issued to acquire and finance the
    holding of eligible loans. The use of Program Bond proceeds for
    such a purpose is limited to thirty percent (30%) of the net
    proceeds of the Program Bonds, provided, however, that the

    not apply to either (i) the repayment of “warehouse
    credit lines” used to acquire mortgage loans and mortgage
    backed securities or (ii) “replacement
    refundings” where proceeds of Program Bonds are exchanged





    

    D-2-2








 







    dollar-for-dollar for unexpended tax exempt bond proceeds
    and/or
    mortgage loan prepayments so long as all proceeds of related
    Market Bonds are exchanged first for such purpose.



 



    (c) Proceeds of the Program Bonds representing original
    issuance premium, if any (“Premium Bonds”), may
    be used to make supplemental loans to underlying borrowers for
    down payment assistance.



 



    10. Issuance Limitation:  The HFA hereby
    certifies that the sum of:



 



    (i) the face amount of the Program Bonds; and



 



    (ii) the face amount of the Market Bonds issued at the time

    applicable to tax-exempt mortgage revenue bonds. The principal
    amount of the Program Bonds does not exceed the amount allocated
    to the HFA under the Single-Family New Issue Bond Program.



 



    11. Redemption:  The Complete Indenture
    provides that:

    made without premium or penalty; provided,
    however, that with respect to the Premium Bonds:



 



    (i) the redemption price for the Premium Bonds has been
    adjusted for any unamortized premium as set forth in a fixed
    redemption price schedule affixed to the Complete
    Indenture; and



 



    (ii) special redemptions related to prepayments and
    recoveries of principal on underlying mortgage loans may be made
    at par.

    of the Program Bonds, to the extent not used to acquire mortgage
    loans or mortgage backed securities, refund outstanding bond
    issues as permitted by the Complete Indenture, pay Program Bond
    issuance expenses, fund downpayment assistance loans (from and
    to the extent of the premium) or fund related reserve accounts,
    must be applied exclusively to the redemption of Program Bonds.



 



    (c) Except as limited by tax law requirements, either

    of the Program Bonds, to the extent not used to pay scheduled
    principal, interest, or sinking fund redemptions on Program
    Bonds, Market Bonds or other bonds issued and secured by the
    Trust Estate on a parity with the Program Bonds or
    (ii) with respect to other transactions, so long as any
    Market Bonds remain outstanding, at least 60% or, if no Market

    mortgage loans or mortgage backed securities financed with the
    proceeds of the Program Bonds must be applied to the redemption
    of the Program Bonds, to the extent not used to pay scheduled
    principal, interest, or sinking fund redemptions on Program
    Bonds, Market Bonds or other bonds issued in conjunction with
    and secured by the Trust Estate on a parity with the
    Program Bonds.



 



    12. No Recycling:  The Complete Indenture

    SCHEDULE D-3



 




    DESCRIPTION
    OF PROGRAM BONDS

    

    





    (MULTIFAMILY-ESCROW)



 



    Terms capitalized in this
    Schedule D-3
    and not defined in Article 1 of this Agreement will have
    the meaning assigned to such terms in the Complete Indenture.



 



    In order to qualify as Eligible Bonds under the New Issue Bond

    Bonds will be tax-exempt (exempt facility) bonds issued to
    finance qualified residential rental projects within the meaning
    of Section 142 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986. If the
    Program Bonds do not satisfy the requirements of the foregoing
    sentence, then the HFA hereby certifies that it reasonably
    expects to have volume cap or alternative means of issuing
    tax-exempt bonds on a timely basis and in a manner which will
    permit the release of all Escrowed Proceeds (as defined below)
    by December 31, 2010, and will use its reasonable best
    efforts to obtain volume cap if necessary.



 



    2. Term:  The Program Bonds are stated to
    mature on a maturity date that is:



 



    (a) not less than ten (10) years after the
    Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds; and



 



    (b) not more than [thirty-two (32)] [thirty-four (34)]
    [forty-two (42)] years from the date of issuance of the
    Program Bonds.



 



    The HFA hereby certifies that all Program Bonds with a maturity
    in excess of thirty-two (32) years and less than

    loans, and all Program Bonds with a maturity in excess of
    thirty-four (34) years will be used to
    fund FHA-insured
    loans.



 



    3. Sinking Fund:  The Program Bonds are
    subject to mandatory sinking fund redemptions or are structured
    to pass through principal payments or principal prepayments on
    the underlying mortgage loans. The sinking fund redemption
    schedule or alternative redemption/prepayments requirements will
    be established and added to the Complete Indenture no later than
    the final Release Date. This schedule (or these redemption
    provisions) is required by the terms of the Complete Indenture
    to take into account anticipated underlying mortgage loan
    amortization and standard and customary practices in the
    industry.



 



    4. Escrow Requirement:  The Complete
    Indenture provides that:



 



    (a) Certain of the net proceeds of the Program Bonds must
    be held in Escrow (as defined below) to the extent that, at
    issuance, the Program Bonds will not be tax-exempt.





    

    D-3-1








 







    (b) The net proceeds of all taxable Program Bonds must be
    escrowed (“Escrowed Proceeds”).

    below.



 



    (d) Escrowed Proceeds must be invested in such investments
    as permitted by Treasury and set forth in the Supplemental
    Indenture (“Permitted Escrow Investments”).
    Permitted Escrow Investments are pledged exclusively to the
    repayment of the Program Bonds unless and until there is a
    default under the Complete Indenture, in which case such funds
    will be applied as required by the Complete Indenture.



 



    (e) Escrowed Proceeds may be released from Escrow, subject
    to, among other things, the condition that the HFA delivers a
    bond counsel opinion to the HFA Trustee to the effect that
    interest on the Program Bonds related to the Escrowed Proceeds
    to be released is exempt from federal income taxation under
    Section 103 of the Code.



 



    (f) If any Escrowed Proceeds remain in Escrow on
    January 1, 2011, such Escrowed Proceeds must be used to
    redeem outstanding Program Bonds at par on February 1, 2011
    (or an earlier date selected by the HFA).



 



    5. Minimum Rating:  The Program Bonds have
    a long-term rating of not less than
    ‘A3’/‘A-’. The Complete Indenture provides
    that to the extent that the minimum rating threshold for the
    Program Bonds is not maintained while the proceeds thereof are
    Escrowed Proceeds, all proceeds that are still held in Escrow
    must be used to redeem a corresponding amount of Program Bonds.



 



    6. Interest Rate.  The Complete Indenture
    provides that the interest rate on the Program Bonds, which
    shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date, will be
    determined as follows:



 



    (a) Each Pre-Conversion Bond which is not a Variable Rate
    Construction Program Bond shall bear interest at the Short-Term
    Rate from the Settlement Date to the related Conversion Date.
    The interest rate on some or all of the Pre-Conversion Bonds
    which are not Variable Rate Construction Program Bonds may be
    Converted on a Conversion Date to a Permanent Rate in accordance
    with the provisions thereof.



 



    (b) Each Pre-Conversion Bond which is a Variable Rate
    Construction Program Bond shall bear interest at the Short-Term
    Rate from the Settlement Date to the Release Date. From and
    after the Release Date to the Variable Rate Construction Program
    Bond Conversion Date, the Variable Rate Construction Program
    Bonds shall bear interest at the Construction Program Bond
    Variable Rate. On and after the Construction Program Bond
    Conversion Date, the interest rate on the Variable Rate
    Construction Program Bonds shall be the Permanent Rate.

    “replacement refundings” where proceeds of Program
    Bonds are exchanged dollar-for-dollar for unexpended tax exempt
    bond proceeds

    SCHEDULE D-5



 




    DESCRIPTION
    OF PROGRAM BONDS

    

    





    (SMALL
    ISSUE)



 



    Terms capitalized in this
    Schedule D-5
    and not defined in Article 1 of this Agreement will have
    the meaning assigned to such terms in the Complete Indenture.



 



    In order to qualify as Eligible Bonds under the New Issue Bond
    Program, the Program Bonds, the related Complete Indenture and
    the HFA must satisfy the following requirements:



 



    1. Taxability:  At issuance, the Program
    Bonds will be tax-exempt qualified mortgage bonds within the
    meaning of Section 143 of the Internal Revenue Code of
    1986. If the Program Bonds do not satisfy the requirements of
    the foregoing sentence, then the HFA hereby certifies that the
    HFA reasonably expects to have volume cap or alternative means
    of issuing tax-exempt bonds on a timely basis and in a manner
    which will permit the release of all Escrowed Proceeds (as
    defined below) by December 31, 2010, and will use its
    reasonable best efforts to obtain volume cap if necessary.



 



    2. Small Issue Program Bonds:  The Program
    Bonds are Program Bonds which satisfy each of the following
    requirements: (i) the Complete Indenture is required to be
    a “Permitted Single-Family Indenture”, which
    term is defined to mean an indenture with respect to which 100%
    of the mortgage assets held under the indenture are
    single-family mortgage backed securities, (ii) at issuance,
    the Program Bonds will have a long-term credit rating of
    ‘Aaa’/‘AAA’ and (iii) the principal
    amount of the Program Bonds is not in excess of $25,000,000.



 



    3. Term:  The Program Bonds are stated to
    mature on a maturity date that is:



 



    (a) not less than ten (10) years after the
    Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds; and



 



    (b) not more than thirty-two (32) years from the
    Pre-Settlement Date of the Program Bonds.



 



    4. Sinking Fund:  The Program Bonds are
    subject to mandatory sinking fund redemptions or are structured
    to pass through principal payments or principal prepayments on
    the underlying MBS. The sinking fund redemption schedule or
    alternative redemption/prepayment requirements will be
    established and added to the Complete Indenture no later than
    the final Release Date. This schedule (or these redemption
    provisions) is required by the terms of the Complete Indenture
    to take into account anticipated underlying mortgage loan
    amortization and standard and customary practices of the HFA.



 



    5. Escrow Requirement:  The Complete
    Indenture provides that:



 



    (a) Certain of the net proceeds of the Program Bonds must
    be held in Escrow (as defined below) to the extent that, at
    issuance, the Program Bonds will not be tax-exempt.





    

    D-5-1








 







    (b) The net proceeds of all taxable Program Bonds must be
    escrowed (“Escrowed Proceeds”).



 



    (c) The Escrowed Proceeds will be held in escrow under the
    Complete Indenture (“Escrow”) pending the
    satisfaction of the requirements set forth in Section 4(e)
    below.



 



    (d) Escrowed Proceeds must be invested in such investments
    as permitted by Treasury and set forth in the Supplemental
    Indenture (“Permitted Escrow Investments”).
    Permitted Escrow Investments are pledged exclusively to the
    repayment of the Program Bonds unless and until there is a
    default under the Complete Indenture, in which case such funds
    will be applied as required by the Complete Indenture.



 



    (e) Escrowed Proceeds may be released from Escrow, subject
    to, among other things, the condition that the HFA delivers a
    bond counsel opinion to the HFA Trustee to the effect that
    interest on the Program Bonds related to the Escrowed Proceeds
    to be released is exempt from federal income taxation under
    Section 103 of the Code.



 



    (f) If any Escrowed Proceeds remain in Escrow on
    January 1, 2011, such Escrowed Proceeds must be used to
    redeem outstanding Program Bonds at par on February 1, 2011
    (or an earlier date selected by the HFA).



 



    6. Minimum Rating:  The Program Bonds have
    a long-term rating of “AAA”/“Aaa”. The
    Complete Indenture provides that to the extent that such rating
    for the Program Bonds is not maintained while the proceeds
    thereof are Escrowed Proceeds, all proceeds that are still held
    in Escrow must be used immediately to redeem a corresponding
    amount of Program Bonds.



 



    7. Interest Rate:  The Complete Indenture
    provides that each Pre-Conversion Bond shall bear interest at
    the Short-Term Rate from the Settlement Date to the related
    Conversion Date. The interest rate on some or all of the
    Pre-Conversion Bonds may be Converted on a Conversion Date to a
    Permanent Rate in accordance with the provisions thereof.
    Interest shall be payable on each Interest Payment Date. The
    capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall
    have the following definitions:



 



    “Conversion Date” means, with respect to all or
    a portion of Pre-Conversion Bonds that are converting to a
    Permanent Rate, the date three (3) months after the related
    Release Date; provided that there shall be no more than three
    (3) Conversion Dates.



 



    “Four Week T-Bill Rate” means the interest rate
    for Four Week Treasury Bills (secondary market) as reported by
    the Federal Reserve on its website at the following internet
    address
    -http://www.federalreserve.gov/releases/h15/update/h15upd.htm.



 



    “Permanent Rate” means an interest rate per
    annum certified to the HFA Trustee by the Special Permanent Rate
    Advisor on or prior to the Release Date, which shall be equal to
    the sum of the
    10-year
    Constant Maturity Treasury rate, as reported by Treasury as of
    the close of business on the Business Day immediately before the
    applicable Permanent Rate Calculation Date for Program Bonds,
    established by reference to the Daily Treasury Yield Curve Rates
    published by Treasury, currently available on its website

    at:http://www/ustreas.gov/offices/domestic-finance/debt-management/interest
    -rate/yield.shtml, plus (ii) the Spread.



 



    “Permanent Rate Calculation Date” means the
    date on which the Permanent Rate is calculated with respect to
    all or a portion of the Program Bonds, which shall be, with
    respect to each applicable portion of the Pre-Conversion Bonds,
    either (i) a date selected by the HFA and acceptable to the
    GSEs prior to the Settlement Date or (ii) dates selected by
    the HFA and acceptable to the GSEs on or prior to
    December 31, 2010 by delivery of a release certificate as
    described in the Complete Indenture.



 



    “Pre-Conversion Bonds” means Program Bonds for
    which the interest rate has not been the subject of a Conversion.



 



    “Release Date” means such date or dates (not to
    exceed three (3) dates) on or prior to December 31,
    2010 and which dates are acceptable to the GSEs, on which dates
    the requirements under the Complete Indenture are met.



 



    “Short-Term Rate” means, (i) for the
    period from the Settlement Date to the applicable Release Date,
    the interest rate which produces an interest payment on such
    Release Date relative to the Program Bonds with respect to which
    Escrowed Proceeds are subject to release on such Release Date
    equal to Investment Earnings, and (ii) from the Release
    Date to the Conversion Date, an interest rate equal to the sum
    of the Spread plus the lesser of (A) the Four Week
    T-Bill Rate as of the Business Day prior to the Release Date or
    (B) the Permanent Rate less the Spread. For purposes of
    this provision, “Investment Earnings” means
    total investment earnings on the portion of the Escrow Fund
    related to Program Bonds with respect to which a Release Date is
    occurring. [Alternatively, the HFA may elect a Short-Term Rate
    equal to a variable Four Week T-Bill Rate plus, after the
    Release Date, the Spread]



 



    “Spread” means additional per annum interest on
    the Program Bonds equal to sixty (60) bps.



 



    8. Use of Proceeds.



 



    (a) The Complete Indenture provides that, except as
    provided in Section 8(b) below, the proceeds of the Program
    Bonds must be used only (i) to acquire and finance the
    holding of single-family MBS, so long as all underlying loans
    are eligible to be financed on a tax-exempt basis under
    applicable federal income tax law (“eligible
    loans”) or (ii) to fund reasonably required
    reserves and pay costs of issuance of the Program Bonds in
    accordance with the requirements and limitations of applicable
    federal tax law.



 



    (b) Proceeds of the Program Bonds may be used to refund, as
    fixed rate bonds, any of the HFA’s variable rate debt
    (including auction rate securities) issued and outstanding prior
    to October 19, 2009 or to refund an issue that did so, so
    long as such debt was, in turn, issued to acquire and finance
    the holding of MBS with underlying eligible loans, the use of
    proceeds for such a refunding purpose shall be limited to thirty
    percent (30%) of the net proceeds of the Program Bonds; the
    restrictions on refundings herein shall not apply to either
    (A) the repayment of “warehouse credit lines”
    used to acquire MBS or (B) “replacement
    refundings” where

    the Single-Family New Issue Bond Program.



 



    10. Redemption:  The Complete Indenture
    provides that:



 



    (a) The Program Bonds are redeemable in whole or in part

    $10,000 in excess thereof). Redemptions of Program Bonds may be
    made without premium or penalty.



 



    (b) Except as limited by tax law requirements, all proceeds
    of the Program Bonds, to the extent not used to acquire MBS,
    refund outstanding bond issues as herein provided, pay Program
    Bond issuance expenses or fund related reserve accounts, must be
    applied exclusively to the redemption of Program Bonds.



 



    (c) Except as limited by tax law requirements, a pro rata
    portion of all principal prepayments and other recoveries of
    principal received with respect to the mortgage loans or
    mortgage backed securities financed with the proceeds of the
    Program Bonds must be applied to the redemption of the Program
    Bonds, to the extent not used to pay scheduled principal,
    interest, or sinking fund redemptions on Program Bonds or other
    bonds issued in conjunction with and secured by the
    Trust Estate on a parity with the Program Bonds.



 



    11. No Recycling:  The Complete Indenture
    provides that all principal payments, principal prepayments and

    (a) The HFA shall take all steps necessary to assure that

    and servicing of mortgage backed securities
    (“MBS”), the HFA shall:
