2.           Freddie Mac will deposit and pool the Bonds pursuant to a Series Certificate Agreement dated as of the date hereof (together with the Standard Terms attached thereto, the “Series Certificate Agreement”) between Freddie Mac, in its corporate capacity, and Freddie Mac, as Administrator.

5.           The Class B Certificates will provide first loss support for Freddie Mac, as Freddie Mac shall have the right to receive and reimburse itself from Available Funds under the Series Certificate Agreement prior to the distribution of any such funds to the Holders of Class B Certificates.  Freddie Mac will additionally be secured by the Sponsor's pledge of (i) any Pledged Class A Certificates purchased pursuant to Section 6.06 of the Series Certificate Agreement to be held for the benefit of Freddie Mac pursuant to Article VIII, (ii)  any Purchased Bonds held for the benefit of Freddie Mac pursuant to Article VIII, (iii)  the Hedge Collateral pursuant to Section 5.5, and (iv) the amounts held pursuant to the Stabilization Escrow Agreement.  In addition, in order to vest in Freddie Mac the right to control remedies with respect to the Bonds, the Sponsor will cause Freddie Mac to be appointed or otherwise hold all rights as Bondholder Representative under the Bond Documents and the Bond Mortgage Documents contemporaneously with the execution hereof for all Bonds.


 


6.           The Guarantor is providing the Guaranty to guaranty certain of the Sponsor’s obligations hereunder.

There are no conditions or encumbrances that have not been disclosed to the title insurer and that would provide a reasonable basis for the title company refusing to honor a claim.  To the knowledge of Sponsor, there are no liens or encumbrances affecting the Bond Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property that are not identified in Section 2.1(r), in Schedule B to the Title Insurance Policy or in the title report delivered to Freddie Mac in connection with this transaction arising during the period from the effective date of the Title Insurance Policy to the Closing Date.


 


(aa)           Survey.  Except as set forth on Schedule B, the survey delivered to Freddie Mac as part of the Underwriting Package correctly depicts for the Mortgaged Property the boundary lines, improvements and exceptions to title that can be shown on a survey required to be shown on a survey under the ALTA/ACSM requirements for urban surveys, and otherwise meets the requirements of the Guide.


 


(bb)           Single Tax Parcel.  The Mortgaged Property consists of property identified as all of a single tax parcel or, if identified as multiple tax parcels, the Mortgaged Property constitutes the entirety of those tax parcels.  Any tax parcel or parcels within which the Mortgaged Property is located does not include property that is not subject to the Bond Mortgage.


 


(cc)           Access.  Except as set forth on Schedule B, the Mortgaged Property does not share ingress and egress through an easement or private road, or share on-site or off-site recreational facilities and amenities that are not located on the Mortgaged Property and under the exclusive control of the Owner; or where there is shared ingress and egress or amenities, there exists an easement or joint use and maintenance agreement, such agreement meets the requirements of the Guide, and such agreement (i) provides that access to and use and enjoyment of the easement or private road and/or recreational facilities and amenities is perpetual, (ii) specifies the Owner’s responsibilities and share of expenses, and (iii) states that the failure to pay any maintenance fee will not result in a loss of usage of the easement.


 


(dd)           Zoning.  The overall character of the existing use of the Mortgaged Property is consistent with the zoning classification of the Mortgaged Property, except to the extent such use may constitute a legal nonconforming use.  Except as disclosed to Freddie Mac in writing, the Mortgaged Property does not violate any density or building setback requirements of the applicable zoning law, and reconstruction of the Mortgaged


 






  





20











  











Property in its current configuration would be permitted by applicable zoning laws following destruction of part or all of the Mortgaged Property by fire or other casualty or, in lieu thereof, building law and ordinance insurance coverage satisfying the requirements of the Guide as of the Closing Date has been provided.  The Mortgaged Property otherwise meets the requirements of the Guide relating to zoning, and no proceedings are pending or, to the best of Sponsor's knowledge, threatened that would result in a change of the zoning of the Mortgaged Property.


 


(ee)           Bond Information.  The information with respect to the Bonds set forth on Schedule 1 to the Series Certificate Agreement and Appendix A to the Offering Circular Supplement is true and correct in all material respects.


 


(ff)           Owner Liability.  Except as set forth in the Bond Mortgage and the documents related thereto, the Owner of the Mortgaged Property has no outstanding or continuing payment obligations to the Sponsor, the Issuer or the Bond Trustee, and, to Sponsor’s knowledge, the Sponsor, the Issuer and the Bond Trustee have not breached any obligation or duty owed to the Owner under the Bond Mortgage Documents or at law or in equity the Regulatory Agreement or other similar agreement imposing operating restrictions on the Mortgaged Property.


 


(gg)           LURA and Bond Documents.  (i) The use and operation of the Mortgaged Property is currently in compliance with the provisions of the Land Use Restriction Agreement, the Regulatory Agreement or other similar agreement (including any such agreement constituting or executed in connection with a Housing Assistance Payment contract from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development) imposing operating restrictions on the Mortgaged Property executed in connection with the Bonds (the “LURA”), and no prior violations have occurred that would result in any related tax exempt bonds becoming taxable, loss or material diminution in value of the tax credits, forfeiture or reversion of title to the Mortgaged Property or other material loss or risk of loss on the part of the Owner or the Mortgaged Property; (ii) to the best of Sponsor’s knowledge, there have been no actions, claims, demands or proceedings brought against the Owner or related to the Mortgaged Property arising out of any violations or claimed violations of any Tax Regulatory Agreement; (iii) no circumstances exist which, with the giving of notice or the expiration of any applicable grace or cure period, would constitute an event of default under the Bond Documents; (iv) there are no fees currently due and owing under the Bond Documents which have not been paid; and (v) no claims for indemnification under the Bond Documents have been made or are pending, and no basis for such a claim for indemnification exists.


 


(hh)           Nonexistent Documents.  Except as indicated on Schedule B, none of the following documents is currently in effect with respect to the Bond Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property:

(iii)           An escrow agreement for the benefit of the Sponsor or its Affiliates creating or governing the tax and insurance escrow, any repair escrow or any other escrow fund with respect to the Bond Mortgage (except pursuant to the Sponsor Documents) or the Mortgaged Property (other than the Mortgaged Properties set forth on Schedule B and in the amounts set forth on Schedule B).


 


(ii)           Perfection of Security Interest.  Financing statements have been filed in all locations necessary to perfect a security interest in all of the Mortgaged Property described in the financing statements, including all furniture, fixtures, equipment, accounts, contracts rights, condemnation and casualty proceeds, general intangibles and all other personal property related to the ownership or operation of the Mortgaged Property, described in those financing statements, to the extent that applicable law permits a security interest in such collateral to be perfected by filing.


 


(jj)           Single Asset Requirements.  In the case of each of the Mortgaged Properties, except as disclosed to Freddie Mac on Schedule B, the Bond Mortgage prohibits the applicable Owner from owning substantial assets other than its Mortgaged Property and prohibits the applicable Owner from engaging in any business enterprises other than the operation of its Mortgaged Property.  To the Sponsor’s best knowledge, each Owner is in compliance with the above-described provision of its Bond Mortgage.


 


(kk)           Flood Zone Determination.  The Flood Zone Determination form for the Mortgaged Property was prepared on the basis of the legal description of the Mortgaged Property and, notwithstanding any street address specified on the form, the determination evidenced by the form is applicable to all buildings comprising the Mortgaged Property.


 


(ll)           Federal Income Tax Matters.  To Sponsor’s best knowledge, (1) no Owner has taken any action, omitted to take any action, or permitted any action to be taken that would impair the exclusion from gross income for federal income tax purposes of the interest payable on any of the Bonds, and (2) no Owner is in violation of any material requirement of any tax certificate relating to the Bonds.


 


(mm)           Payment of Fee Component.  Payment of the Fee Component with respect to each Bond Mortgage Loan is current and no such fees are currently due and payable.


 


(nn)           State Allocating Agency Requirements.  The only operating restrictions imposed on any Mortgaged Property by any state tax credit allocating agency not reflected in the regulatory agreements, restrictive covenants or similar instruments recorded against the Mortgaged Properties are those reflected in the letters attached hereto as Exhibit I.


 


(oo)           Rebate.  No rebate is due and owing with respect to the Bonds related to any Mortgaged Property.


 


(pp)           Exemption from Real Property Taxes.  Except as indicated on Schedule B, the Mortgaged Property has qualified for an exemption from, and has not been subject to, payment of real property taxes since the date the Owner acquired the Mortgaged Property and to Sponsor’s best knowledge (i) the Owner is in compliance


 






  





22











  











with the requirements of the Regulatory Agreement applicable to the Mortgaged Property, (ii) the Mortgaged Property qualifies for exemption from real property taxes for the current real property tax year and (iii) no event has occurred which would cause the Mortgaged Property to lose its current exemption from real property taxes.


 


(qq)           Amortization Schedules.  The amortization schedules included in the Data Tape do not contain material errors of which the Sponsor has knowledge, and accurately state the maturity and the principal and interest payments for the applicable Bond Mortgage Loan and related Bond as of each monthly payment date.


 


(rr)           Optional Redemption at Par.  The first date on which the Bonds are permitted to be redeemed at par is set forth in Exhibit II.


 


(ss)           Tax Credit Matters.  Except as indicated on Schedule B, a Form 8609 has been issued by the applicable tax credit allocating agency with respect to each Mortgaged Property evidencing the final allocation of tax credits with respect thereto in an amount such that no adjustment to or repayment of any tax credit investor’s capital contribution is necessary, and all tax credit investor capital contributions have been fully funded to the Owner.


 


(tt)           Laundry and Other Leases.  Each laundry or telecommunications lease in effect with respect to a Mortgaged Property is in compliance with applicable requirements of the Guide, or the nature of any noncompliance is such that it would neither materially interfere with the security provided by the related Bond Mortgage, nor materially impair the value of the Mortgaged Property.


 


(uu)           Ownership of Bonds.  The Bonds are genuine and outstanding.  The Sponsor has all necessary power and authority to transfer, and has duly authorized by all necessary action the transfer of, the Bonds to Freddie Mac.  Immediately prior to such transfers, the Sponsor owned the Bonds free and clear of any lien, pledge, encumbrance or other security interest, and has not sold, assigned or pledged any of its interest in the Bonds to any Person except in accordance with the Sponsor Documents, and has not entered into any agreement to effect such a sale, assignment or pledge except as contemplated hereby.  Upon such transfers, the Sponsor releases all right, title and interest in and to the Bonds (such release by the Sponsor in connection with its transfer of ownership of the Bonds in no way limits its rights to direct the funding of Release Events in certain cases or take other actions with respect to the Bonds as described in the Sponsor Documents).


 


(vv)           Earthquake Insurance.  With respect to each Mortgaged Property located in Seismic Risk Zone 3 or 4, a seismic analysis has been conducted by a recognized firm experienced in conducting such analyses, and no such analysis showed a Mortgaged Property with a probable maximum loss of greater than 40%.  For each such Mortgaged Property with respect to which the applicable seismic analysis shows a probable maximum loss of greater than 20%, but not greater than 40%, earthquake insurance is currently maintained by the related Owner with a deductible not in excess of $50,000 from an insurance company with a rating meeting the requirements of the Guide for the

Neither the Owner nor any principal of an Owner is a person or entity that is named as a “specially designated national and blocked person” on the most current list published by the U.S. Treasury Department Office of Foreign Assets Control at its official website, http://www.treas.gov/ofac/t11sdn.pdf.


 


(xx)           Replacement Reserves.  The replacement reserve requirements with respect to each Mortgaged Property as set forth in the related Bond Documents and Bond Mortgage Loan Documents, are fully funded.  All bond-level replacement reserves and tax and insurance escrows are held by the applicable Bond Trustee.

(a)           The Sponsor represents and warrants as of the Closing Date with respect to each Bond Mortgage Loan and Mortgaged Property related to the Bonds and the Sponsor Documents, as follows:


 


(i)           To Sponsor’s best knowledge, the information contained in the Underwriting Package is true and accurate in all material respects and does not omit information in the possession of the Sponsor to make the provided information complete and accurate.

(vii)           Neither the Sponsor nor the Guarantor is in default in the performance, observance or fulfillment of any of the obligations, covenants or conditions contained in any agreement or instrument to which it is a party which default would in Sponsor’s good faith and reasonable judgment materially adversely affect the transactions contemplated by the Sponsor Documents or the Guaranty.  There is no action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or by or before any governmental instrumentality or other agency now pending or threatened in writing against or affecting the Sponsor or the Guarantor or any of its properties or rights, which, if adversely determined, would in Sponsor’s good faith and reasonable judgment (A) materially impair the right of the Sponsor or the Guarantor to carry on its business as now conducted or (B) have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Sponsor or the Guarantor.


 


(viii)           Neither Sponsor nor any applicable Sponsor Affiliate, with respect to any period during which it has acted as Bondholder Representative under the Bond Documents, has taken, or omitted to take, any action that, if taken or omitted, would jeopardize or adversely affect the tax-exempt status of the interest payable on the Bonds.


 


(ix)           Guarantor, as Bondholder Representative, is authorized under the Bond Documents to assign its rights, privileges and obligations as Bondholder Representative to Freddie Mac.


 






  





25

(xi)           Each Owner has established all escrows and reserves required by the Bond Mortgage and the Owner Documents.


 


(xii)           None of the Sponsor or the Guarantor nor the individuals who work for them, whether as employees, agents or independent contractors who have been, prior to the Closing Date, actively engaged in conducting Sponsor’s or Guarantor’s operations with the Owner, has:


 


(A)           made any written representation to Freddie Mac or the Servicer respecting the Owner, the Bond Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property that it knew or now knows is materially untrue or misleading and that has a materially adverse effect on the value of the Bond Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property, or


 


(B)           omitted to provide any written information to Freddie Mac or the Servicer that it knew or now knows, which omission renders the written information provided to Freddie Mac or the Servicer in connection with the Owner, the Bond Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property materially untrue or misleading and that has a materially adverse effect on the value of the Bond Mortgage or the Mortgaged Property.


 


The Sponsor and Freddie Mac agree that the individuals who provided such written information to them shall not incur personal liability arising from providing such written information.


 


(b)           By its execution and delivery of the Series Certificate Agreement, Freddie Mac will be deemed to have represented and warranted as of the Closing Date as follows:

Freddie Mac agrees to use its best efforts to provide notice to the Sponsor within 30 days following a discovery by Freddie Mac of a Breach; provided, however, that the failure of Freddie Mac to so notify the Sponsor of such a Breach shall not relieve the Sponsor of its obligation to cure such Breach upon receiving notice from Freddie Mac or obtaining knowledge thereof.


 


(b)           Within 60 days after the earlier of (i) discovery by the Sponsor of a Breach, or (ii) the Sponsor’s receipt of notice from Freddie Mac of such Breach, the Sponsor shall (x) commence commercially reasonable efforts to cure such Breach in all material respects or (y) solely in the event such Breach cannot be cured by the Sponsor’s commercially reasonable efforts in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.4, provide a Substitute Bond for a Bond with respect to which a Breach has occurred, but only in accordance with the terms of Section 3.19 hereof.


 






  





30











  











(c)           Subject to the last sentence of this subsection (c), if a Breach is not cured by the Sponsor within 60 days after the discovery or receipt of notice of such Breach or a Substitute Bond is not provided, in each case as set forth in subsection (b) above, Freddie Mac shall have the right to pursue all remedies specified in this Section including, but not limited to, (i) the right to require the Sponsor to fund or cause the funding of the purchase from the Administrator of the series of Bonds related to the Breach, to the extent that Freddie Mac may exercise its purchase right following the occurrence of a Release Event with respect to the same (which funding by, or caused by, the Sponsor shall be accomplished via the exercise of such right of the Sponsor’s in accordance with Section 7.3(a) hereof and applicable provisions of the Series Certificate Agreement), and (ii) the right to require payment by the Sponsor of a Prepayment/Substitution Premium in connection with any such Release Event, which remedies in addition to the recovery of enforcement costs from the Sponsor, proceeding under the Guaranty, and taking action as provided in subsection (d) below shall be the sole rights and remedies available to Freddie Mac as the result of a Breach.  In the event the Breach is non-monetary and such that it can be corrected, but not within 60 days, Freddie Mac shall not pursue any remedies hereunder if corrective action is instituted by the Sponsor within such 60 days and diligently pursued until the Breach is cured, provided such Breach must be cured not later than the earlier of 90 days after the discovery or receipt of notice of such Breach as set forth in subsection 2.4(b) above.


 


(d)           If Sponsor fails to cure a Breach, or provide a Substitute Bond as set forth in subsection (b) above, within the time provided in subsection (c) above, or fails to diligently prosecute the cure of such Breach, in Freddie Mac’s reasonable judgment, Freddie Mac, after written notice to the Sponsor, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Breach, and any costs, fees or expenses so incurred by Freddie Mac shall be a Credit Advance and shall be paid by the Sponsor in accordance herewith.  Amounts expended by the Sponsor to cure a Breach shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Sponsor.


 


(e)           The representations and warranties in this Agreement, Freddie Mac’s right to rely on them, and the Sponsor’s liability for a Breach, shall not be affected or limited by any investigation (including any pre-purchase review of documentation) made by, or on behalf of, Freddie Mac, except to the extent that the Sponsor can establish that one or more of the following Freddie Mac employees had actual knowledge (as opposed to imputed knowledge arising from the receipt of the documents required to be delivered by the Sponsor hereunder) of such Breach prior to the Closing Date and did not inform the Sponsor of such Breach prior to the Closing Date:


 


Clayton A. Davis, Dara Koller and Christopher B. Propert


 


provided that the inclusion of Christopher B. Propert in the list of Freddie Mac employees shall not imply a waiver of the attorney-client privilege, which may be asserted by Freddie Mac.

Any amount payable to Freddie Mac hereunder shall be deemed paid only to the extent immediately available funds for that purpose are received by Freddie Mac (in any capacity) by 2:00 p.m., Washington, D.C. time, on the due date.

Section 3.7                      [Reserved].


 


Section 3.8                      Payment of Prepayment/Substitution Premium.  (a) If the applicable Yield Maintenance Period has not expired, the Sponsor shall pay a Prepayment/Substitution Premium by remitting to Freddie Mac funds in the amount of such Prepayment/Substitution Premium from the sources and in the priority established in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Section 4.03 of the Series Certificate Agreement upon any of the following events:


 


(i)           A redemption of a portion of the Class A Certificates as a result of a Release Event pursuant to Section 2.4(c) hereof hereof.


 






  





35











  











(ii)           A redemption of any of the Certificates during the Yield Maintenance Period, due to an involuntary prepayment upon acceleration of the Bond Mortgage Note and mandatory redemption of the Bonds under the terms of the applicable Indenture after a Bond Event of Default thereunder but only if and to the extent that a prepayment premium is paid by the Owner in connection with such prepayment of the Bond Mortgage Note;


 


(iii)           The occurrence of a substitution of a Substitute Bond due to a Bond Event of Default at the direction of the Sponsor in accordance with Section 3.19 hereof;


 


(iv)           The mandatory tender of the Class A Certificates pursuant to Section 6.04(a) or (b) of the Series Certificate Agreement relating to a Mandatory Tender Event as a result of a Liquidity Provider Termination Event or (if applicable) a Sponsor Act of Bankruptcy;


 


(v)           Upon the substitution of a Substitute Bond for a Pre-Selected Bond in connection with a sale of the related Mortgaged Property as directed by the Sponsor in accordance with Sections 3.19 and 3.26 hereof.


 


(b)           Premium Not Payable.  Except under the circumstances described in Sections 2.4(c), 3.8(a), 3.19 and 3.26 hereof, no Prepayment/Substitution Premium shall be payable, including without limitation under the following circumstances:  any prepayment occurring as a result of (i) the application of any insurance proceeds or condemnation award under the Bond Mortgage, (ii) a voluntary prepayment of any Bond Mortgage Loan, (iii) redemption or other mandatory prepayment of any Bonds or the Class A Certificates as a result of the entry of any decree or judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction or the taking of any official action by the Internal Revenue Service or the Department of the Treasury, which decree, judgment or action shall be deemed to be final under applicable procedural law, which has the effect of a determination that the interest on such Bonds is includable in the gross income of the recipients thereof for Federal income tax purposes, (iv) exercise by any Class A Certificateholder of its Optional Disposition Right in accordance with Section 7.05 of the Series Certificate Agreement provided that the Class A Certificates so tendered are remarketed and the Sponsor pays the Hypothetical Gain Share related to the exercise of such right, (v) a redemption of Class A Certificates in connection with a Clean-Up Event, or (vi) a Release Event pursuant to either Section 3.21 or 3.22 hereof.


 


Section 3.9                      Substitution of Credit Enhancement or Liquidity Facility.  The Sponsor acknowledges that it does not have the right to substitute credit enhancement or liquidity for the Class A Certificates.


 


Section 3.10                      Additional Provisions Regarding Prepayment/Substitution Premium.  The Sponsor recognizes that any prepayment of the unpaid principal balance of the Class A Certificates for any reason set forth in Section 3.8(a) hereof will result in Freddie Mac’s incurring loss, including loss of income, additional expense and frustration or impairment of Freddie Mac’s ability to meet its commitments to third parties.  The Sponsor agrees to pay from the sources and in the priority established in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Section 4.03 of the Series Certificate Agreement, upon demand, damages for the loss caused by any prepayment, and agrees that it is extremely difficult and impractical to ascertain the


 






  





36











  











extent of such damages.  The Sponsor therefore acknowledges and agrees that the formula for calculating the Prepayment/Substitution Premium represents a reasonable estimate of the damages Freddie Mac will incur because of a prepayment.  The Sponsor further acknowledges that the Prepayment/Substitution Premium provisions of this Agreement are a material part of the consideration for the Series Certificate Agreement and the Credit Enhancement and Liquidity Facility provided thereunder, and acknowledges that the terms of this Agreement are in other respects more favorable to the Sponsor as a result of the Sponsor’s voluntary agreement to the Prepayment/Substitution Premium provisions.  Freddie Mac acknowledges and agrees that the Prepayment/Substitution Premium shall be Freddie Mac’s sole compensation and remedy for such loss and damage.


 


Section 3.11                      Remarketing Agent for the Class A Certificates.  The Sponsor acknowledges that Freddie Mac shall retain, and shall have the ability, in its sole discretion, to remove or replace, the Remarketing Agent.  The Sponsor shall not remove or replace the Remarketing Agent without Freddie Mac’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.


 


Section 3.12                      Indemnification.  The Sponsor shall indemnify and hold harmless Freddie Mac, in its corporate capacity and in its capacity as Pledge Custodian, and its officers, directors, officials, employees, agents, attorneys, accountants, advisors, consultants and servants, past, present or future (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, penalties, judgments, costs or expenses (including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Losses”) arising from any act or omission of the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, the Remarketing Agent (if an Affiliate of Sponsor) or any of their respective agents, contractors, servants, employees or licensees in connection with any of the Bond Mortgage Loans, the Bond Mortgages, Mortgaged Properties, the Owner Documents, the Sponsor Documents, the Offering Circular, the Series Certificate Agreement in connection with the issuance of the Certificates or the remarketing of the Class A Certificates or in connection with any failure to cause the re-registration of all of the Bonds in the name of Freddie Mac and the delivery thereto as required pursuant to Section 4.2 hereof; together with all costs, reasonable counsel fees, expenses or liabilities incurred in connection with any such claim or proceeding brought thereon; except that the Sponsor shall not be required to indemnify any Indemnified Party for damages caused by the willful misconduct, negligence or unlawful acts of such Indemnified Party or for any claims, costs, counsel fees, expenses or liabilities incurred by an Indemnified Party as a result of any action taken by an Indemnified Party at the direction of Freddie Mac.  In the event that any action or proceeding is brought, or claim made, against any Indemnified Party, with respect to which indemnity may be sought hereunder, the Sponsor, upon written notice thereof from the Indemnified Party, shall assume the investigation and defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably acceptable to Freddie Mac and the payment of all expenses associated therewith.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve a settlement to which it is a party and if the named parties to any such action include both the Sponsor and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Sponsor, to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceedings and to participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Sponsor shall pay or cause to be paid the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.


 






  





37











  











Section 3.13                      Freddie Mac Not Liable.  None of Freddie Mac’s officials, officers, directors, members, shareholders, agents, attorneys, independent contractors or employees shall be responsible for, or liable to, the Sponsor or any of its officials, officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, affiliates, independent contractors or employees for (a) any act or omission of Freddie Mac or any other Person made in good faith with respect to the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement(s) thereon (except for documents and endorsements provided by Freddie Mac), even if such documents should be in fact, or prove to be in any or all respects, invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (b) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning, or purporting to transfer or assign the Series Certificate Agreement or the rights or benefits under the Series Certificate Agreement or proceeds under the Series Certificate Agreement, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (c) failure of the Administrator to comply fully with all conditions required in order to effect any applicable Advance; (d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages by the Administrator, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopier or otherwise that may be required under the Series Certificate Agreement; (e) any loss or delay by the Administrator in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make any Advance; (f) failure of any trustee with respect to the Bonds to comply fully with all terms of the related Bond Documents; or (g) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Freddie Mac.

None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of Freddie Mac under this Agreement.


 


In furtherance and extension, and not in limitation, of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Freddie Mac (including in its capacity as Bondholder Representative) under or in connection with the Sponsor Documents or any Owner Document, or any related certificates or other documents, if taken or omitted in good faith and not in contravention of the terms hereof, shall be binding upon the applicable Owner, the Bond Trustee, the Issuer, the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, the Remarketing Agent, the Administrator and the Pledge Custodian, and shall not, under any circumstance, put Freddie Mac under any resulting liability to any of them.


 


Section 3.14                      Pledged Class A Certificates.  The Sponsor acknowledges that Pledged Class A Certificates will be purchased by the Administrator on behalf of the Sponsor, and registered in the name of the Pledge Custodian; provided that, to the extent that Freddie Mac has made a Liquidity Advance to purchase such Pledged Class A Certificates, such Pledged Class A Certificates will be pledged to Freddie Mac pursuant to Article VIII of this Agreement.

The Bonds available to be substituted for in accordance with the foregoing sentence (each, a “Released Bond”) shall be released from the Series Certificate Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, and the Substitute Bond(s) shall be deposited with the Administrator pursuant to the terms of the Series Certificate Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof, if each of the following conditions is met:


 


(a)           The Substitute Property meets all of Freddie Mac’s then applicable underwriting criteria, program, policy and documentation requirements unless waived in writing by Freddie Mac.  In furtherance and not in limitation of the foregoing, Freddie Mac in considering the eligibility of the Substitute Property under such criteria and requirements may take into account a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, local market conditions, portfolio concentration in the market where the Substitute Property is located, the condition and quality of the Substitute Property (which condition and quality shall not be less than the Mortgaged Property to be released (the “Released Project”)), the type of Substitute Property (which shall be of the same type as the Released Project), the internal risk rating for such Substitute Property as determined by Freddie Mac (which risk rating as so determined shall be equal to or better than the risk rating (as determined by Freddie Mac) for the Released Project) and pool diversification (the determination of any proposed Substitute Property’s eligibility under such criteria and requirement to be in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion);


 






  





41











  











(b)           Freddie Mac shall have been provided by the Servicer (or otherwise) all applicable third party reports required pursuant to the Guide or otherwise required by Freddie Mac, in its sole and absolute discretion, to evaluate the proposed Substitute Property including but not limited to:


 


(i)           An environmental report on the proposed Substitute Property in all respects reasonably satisfactory to Freddie Mac;

(iv)           An appraisal on the Substitute Property in all respects reasonably satisfactory to Freddie Mac;


 


(c)           Sponsor shall pay all out of pocket fees and expenses of Freddie Mac, including the reasonable costs and expenses of outside counsel in connection with such substitution;


 


(d)           The Substitute Property shall be subject to satisfactory inspection by Freddie Mac;

(g)           After giving effect to such substitution, the geographic concentration of the Mortgaged Properties is not greater than that prior to the substitution;


 


(h)           The ratio of the unpaid principal balance of the Substitute Bond to the value of the Substitute Property (the “Loan to Value Ratio” or “LTV”) at the time of the proposed substitution, as determined by Freddie Mac in accordance with its then current underwriting methodology, is less than or equal to the lesser of (i) the loan to value ratio of the Released Project as of the Closing Date or (ii) the loan to value ratio of the Released Project as of the date of the proposed release of the Released Project as determined by Freddie Mac in accordance with its then existing underwriting methodology and in all events the Loan to Value Ratio does not exceed 85%;


 


(i)           The ratio of the net operating income and the annual debt service (the “Debt Service Coverage” or “DCR”) for the Substitute Property for the last twelve (12) calendar months preceding the proposed substitution, calculated in accordance with Freddie Mac’s then-existing underwriting methodology, is greater than or equal to the greater of (i) the Debt Service Coverage for the Released Project as of the Closing Date


 






  





42











  











for the Released Project or (ii) the current Debt Service Coverage for the Released Project for the prior twelve (12) calendar months, calculated in accordance with Freddie Mac’s underwriting methodology employed by Freddie Mac in determining the Debt Service Coverage for the Substitute Property and in all events the Debt Service Coverage is not less than 1.15%;


 


(j)           No Event of Default shall exist and there shall have been no related Bond Event of Default with respect to such Substitute Bond during the immediately preceding twelve (12) month period;


 


(k)           Contemporaneously with the request for a substitution, Sponsor shall pay (A) to the Servicer a $25,000 underwriting fee with respect to each new Bond to be underwritten, and (B) to Freddie Mac a deposit to cover associated third party costs and fees, as estimated by Freddie Mac, together with a mortgage review fee equal to the greater of $5,000 per substituted property or 0.10% of the unpaid principal balance of the Substitute Bond.  On or prior to the closing date for the substitution, the Sponsor shall pay Freddie Mac the balance, if any, of any third-party costs and fees incurred in excess of the initial deposit amount, plus a substitution fee (i) equal to the greater of $5,000 or 0.25% of the unpaid principal balance of the Substitute Bond(s) (with a credit for the mortgage review fee previously paid) for a substitution relating to a Bond Event of Default or (ii) equal to the greater of $50,000 or 0.50% of the unpaid principal balance of the Substitute Asset(s) (with a credit for the mortgage review fee previously paid) for a substitution relating to a substitution of a Pre-Selected Bond pursuant to Section 3.26.  In addition, the Sponsor shall pay the reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses of outside counsel, appraisers, environmental professionals and engineers, plus all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Freddie Mac in connection with the foregoing.  Such amounts shall be paid on or prior to the closing date of such substitution.  If such substitution fails to close, Sponsor shall pay Freddie Mac such reasonable fees and out-of-pocket expenses within (30) days of Sponsor’s receipt of invoices therefor;


 


(l)           If the unpaid principal balance of the Substitute Bond is less than the unpaid principal balance of the Released Bond (a “Contraction”) the Sponsor shall pay any applicable Total Release Price with respect to the principal portion of the Released Bond that is in excess of the principal amount of the Substitute Bond(s) as and when required by the Series Certificate Agreement, and if the Contraction is greater than 5%, then, in addition to the fees required under Section 3.19(k) above, Sponsor shall pay or cause to be paid a Prepayment/Substitution Premium to Freddie Mac on the amount by which the unpaid principal balance of the Released Bond exceeds the unpaid principal balance of the Substitute Bond(s) on the date of substitution;


 


(m)           The Sponsor and Freddie Mac shall have executed an addendum to this Agreement and any related agreements to reflect the substitution contemplated hereby; and


 


(n)           Freddie Mac shall have received an opinion of Bond Counsel acceptable to Freddie Mac to the effect that such substitution does not adversely affect the exclusion of interest accrued on the related Certificates from gross income of the holders thereof for federal income tax purposes.

(o)           If requested by Freddie Mac, Freddie Mac shall have received a 704(b) analysis with respect to the ownership of the Substitute Property which is satisfactory to Freddie Mac in its sole discretion.


 


Section 3.20                      Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term.


 


(a)           The Sponsor acknowledges that the pricing for the Freddie Mac Liquidity Facility Fee shall expire at the end of each Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term.  Freddie Mac agrees to provide new pricing for the Freddie Mac Liquidity Facility Fee solely for one additional five-year Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term (a "Second Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term") following the Initial Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term.  The Freddie Mac Liquidity Facility Fee for the Second Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term (if elected by the Sponsor) shall be based on a new Base Rate to be provided by Freddie Mac in accordance with this Section 3.20 and otherwise shall be calculated in accordance with the existing definition of the Freddie Mac Liquidity Facility Fee.  No sooner than one hundred ninety (190) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term, the Sponsor may submit a Base Rate Quote Request in the form attached as Exhibit III to Freddie Mac requesting that Freddie Mac provide a quote for the Base Rate that would be effective for the Second Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term, and Freddie Mac shall provide such quote no later than 30 days after the receipt of the Base Rate Quote Request.


 


(b)           On or prior to the end of the Initial Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term, the Sponsor shall either: (i) accept the new Base Rate to be effective for the Second Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term (if a Base Rate Quote Request was submitted in accordance with Section 3.20(a) above), (ii) convert the interest rate mode on the Class A Certificates to a Term Reset Rate upon satisfaction of all conditions to conversion to a Term Reset Rate set forth under the Series Certificate Agreement (and in connection therewith the Sponsor may request from Freddie Mac (at the same time as the Base Rate Quote Request) pricing for the Freddie Mac Liquidity Facility Fee under Freddie Mac's then current annual liquidity program for a Term Reset Rate of one year or for a Term Reset Rate of such longer duration as the Sponsor shall request and Freddie Mac shall provide such quote no later than 30 days after the receipt of such request), or (iii) exercise its election to fund (and thereafter fund) pursuant to Section 3.21 a Release Event with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Bonds on the first Optional Series Pool Release Date.  Not later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term, the Sponsor shall submit a Liquidity Election Notice in the form attached as Exhibit IV notifying Freddie Mac of its election pursuant to the foregoing.  Any new Base Rate accepted pursuant to this Section shall be set forth in an Amendment to this Agreement acceptable to Freddie Mac.


 


(c)           The Sponsor acknowledges that Freddie Mac shall have no obligation to provide pricing for the Freddie Mac Liquidity Facility Fee after the Second Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term.  On or prior to the end of the Second Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term (if elected by the Sponsor), the Sponsor shall either (i) convert the interest rate mode on the Class A Certificates to a Term Reset Rate upon satisfaction of all conditions to conversion to a Term Reset Rate set forth under the Series Certificate Agreement, or (ii) exercise its election to fund (and thereafter fund) pursuant to Section 3.21 a Release Event with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Bonds on the second Optional Series Pool Release Date.  Not later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Second Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term, the Sponsor shall provide written notice to Freddie Mac of its election pursuant to the foregoing.


 






  





44











  











(d)           Any change to, or continuation of, the Term Reset Rate Method as the interest rate mode on the Class A Certificates (including in connection with Freddie Mac's annual liquidity program) may be subject, among other things, to (i) Freddie Mac's collection of a liquidity facility fee (or other separate fee) hereunder for its purchase price coverage at the end of such Term Reset Rate, and (ii) any hedge requirements that Freddie Mac may have at such times with respect to a Term Reset Rate of such duration (which hedge requirements shall be set forth in an amendment to this Agreement).  Any changes to the fees or hedges required hereunder in connection with the establishment of a new Term Reset Rate pursuant to this Section shall be set forth in an amendment to this Agreement acceptable to Freddie Mac, which amendment shall be delivered on or prior to the related Term Effective Date.


 


(e)           In the event (i) a new Base Rate is not accepted (to the extent requested after the Initial Freddie Mac Liquidity Pricing Term), (ii) the Sponsor fails to fund a Release Event on the applicable Optional Series Pool Release Date or (iii) for any reason the interest rate mode on the Class A Certificates is not converted to a Term Reset Rate, in each case in accordance with this Section 3.20, such event shall be a "Mode Reset Failure" hereunder and a Liquidity Provider Termination Event under the Series Certificate Agreement, in which event Freddie Mac may (in its discretion) provide notice to the Administrator of such Liquidity Provider Termination Event, in which event the funds advanced by Freddie Mac to purchase Class A Certificates shall be a Credit Advance and due and payable pursuant to Section 3.2 hereof.


 


Section 3.21                      Optional Series Pool Release Date.


 


The Sponsor shall have the right, subject to the following terms and provided no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, to direct Freddie Mac to exercise its right (provided the Class A Certificates then bear interest at a Weekly Reset Rate or Monthly Reset Rate) to cause a Release Event with respect to all (but not less than all) of the Bonds held under the Series Certificate Agreement on an Optional Series Pool Release Date by giving written notice of such election to Freddie Mac not less than ninety (90) days prior to such Optional Series Pool Release Date.  Freddie Mac shall only exercise its right to cause such a Release Event to occur on an Optional Series Pool Release Date if by no later than the fifth (5th) Business Days prior to such Optional Series Pool Release Date the Sponsor shall have either (i) caused to be deposited with Freddie Mac in immediately available funds an amount necessary to pay in full the resulting Total Release Price due under the terms of the Series Certificate Agreement, together with amounts sufficient to pay all Obligations of the Sponsor due hereunder and any obligations of the Sponsor due under any other Sponsor Document or (ii) the Sponsor shall have provided evidence of the establishment of an escrow arrangement for the payment of the same satisfactory to Freddie Mac, in its sole discretion.  Such monies provided by the Sponsor to Freddie Mac shall be applied as provided pursuant to the terms of the Series Certificate Agreement to effect such Release Event and the terms hereof to reimburse Freddie Mac for any amounts then due hereunder.


 


Section 3.22                      Rights of Sponsor Upon Freddie Mac Downgrade. If the rating of the long-term senior debt of Freddie Mac is reduced below “A-” by the Rating Agency (which event shall constitute a material adverse credit condition under this Agreement), the Sponsor shall have the right to direct Freddie Mac to exercise its right (provided the Class A Certificates then bear interest at a Weekly Reset Rate or Monthly Reset Rate) to cause a Release Event with respect to all (but not less than all) Bonds held under the Series Certificate Agreement.  If the Sponsor


 






  





45











  













elects to exercise such right by giving not less than thirty (30) days written notice to Freddie Mac, Freddie Mac shall exercise its right to cause such a Release Event to occur promptly following receipt by the Administrator of immediately available funds from the Sponsor in an amount necessary to pay in full the resulting Total Release Price due under the terms of the Series Certificate Agreement, together with amounts sufficient to pay all Obligations of the Sponsor due hereunder and any obligations of the Sponsor due under any other Sponsor Document.  Such monies provided by the Sponsor to the Administrator shall be applied as provided pursuant to the terms of the Series Certificate Agreement and the terms hereof.


 


Section 3.23                      Release Event Upon Bond Event of Default.  In addition to the Sponsor’s rights under Section 3.19 hereof, if a material monetary event of default exists with respect to a series of Bonds (with respect to which the Sponsor or an Affiliate does not control the related Owner) and remains uncured for the shorter of (i) sixty (60) days or (ii) two consecutive scheduled payment dates (or such shorter period of time consented to by Freddie Mac), the Sponsor may direct Freddie Mac to declare a Release Event with respect to the related Bond and shall fund, or cause the funding of, the purchase of such Bond (which funding by, or caused by, the Sponsor shall be accomplished in accordance with Section 7.3(a) hereof and applicable provisions of the Series Certificate Agreement); provided, however, the Sponsor shall only have the right to cause a Release Event with respect to a Bond pursuant to this Section 3.23 if the Sponsor has funded, or caused the funding of, such Release Event within sixty (60) days of the date on which the right to direct a Release Event with respect to such Bond first arises under this Section 3.23.


 


Section 3.24                      Loans by Guarantor or Its Affiliates. The Guarantor or an affiliate of the Guarantor may make a subordinate loan or loans to an Owner and enforce the terms of such loans if the such loan is made in accordance with the terms of this Section 3.24.  Freddie Mac acknowledges that the making of such loan(s) by the Guarantor and their enforcement is not a breach of a covenant or a representation under this Agreement provided that:


 


(a) the Guarantor shall provide notice of such subordinate loan to Freddie Mac and the Servicer no later than 30 days prior to the funding of such loan (each notice shall include a representation as to the purpose of the subordinate loan),


 


(b) such subordinate loan shall be made only to fund shortfalls in operating expenses or to pay debt service on the related Bonds,


 


(c) the enforcement of remedies with respect to such subordinate loan(s) shall be done solely with Freddie Mac’s prior consent, and


 


(d) such subordinate loan: (i) is not secured by the applicable Mortgaged Property or an interest in the applicable Owner, (ii) is payable solely from 75% of surplus cash with respect to the related Mortgaged Property (as determined in accordance with Freddie Mac’s program standards), (iii) has a maturity date which extends beyond the maturity date on the related Bonds, and (iv) otherwise conforms to Freddie Mac’s then applicable program, policies and underwriting criteria for soft subordinate debt.


 


Section 3.25                      Credit Advances; Real Estate Taxes.  In the event any real estate taxes are assessed on a Mortgaged Property and are not timely paid when due by either the Owner or the


 






  





46











  













Sponsor (irrespective of whether the Owner or the Sponsor is contesting such assessment), Freddie Mac shall have the right (but not the obligation) to pay such taxes and such expenditure by Freddie Mac shall be treated as a Credit Advance hereunder to reimbursed from the sources and in the priority established in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement and Section 4.03 of the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Section 3.26                      Substitution Upon Sale of Pre-Selected Mortgaged Property .  On or after the date which is thirty-six (36) months after the Closing Date, the Sponsor may elect, solely in connection with a sale of a Pre-Selected Mortgaged Property to a party that is not a Sponsor Affiliate and which party does not elect to assume the indebtedness of the related Bonds, to effect a substitution of the related Pre-Selected Bond in accordance with Section 3.19 and direct Freddie Mac to declare a Release Event for such purpose; provided, however, the Sponsor shall only have the right to effect a substitution of up to two Pre-Selected Bond pursuant to this Section 3.26.  In connection with any election under this Section 3.26, the Sponsor shall also satisfy the following conditions:


 


(i)           the Sponsor shall cause to be funded to Freddie Mac any applicable Prepayment/Substitution Premium required under Sections 3.8(a) and 3.19 hereof;


 


(ii)           the Sponsor shall provide reasonably satisfactory evidence to Freddie Mac that the applicable Pre-Selected Mortgaged Property is under contract for sale, the proposed purchaser of such Pre-Selected Mortgaged Property is not a Sponsor Affiliate and the proposed purchase price is the market price for such Pre-Selected Mortgaged Property;


 


(iii)           the Sponsor shall provide satisfactory evidence to Freddie Mac that the proposed purchaser is electing to payoff the related Bonds in connection with the sale; and


 


(iv)           the Sponsor shall cause to be provided to Freddie Mac all fees required pursuant to Section 3.19 hereof.

The Sponsor acknowledges that certain of the Bonds (as such Bonds are identified in the Bond Custody Agreement) have not been re-registered in the name of Freddie Mac on the Closing Date but are held for the benefit of Freddie Mac under the Bond Custody Agreement pending such re-registration.  The Sponsor shall cause such Bonds to be re-registered in the name of Freddie Mac and delivered to Freddie Mac by no later than August 15, 2014.

INTEREST RATE PROTECTION


Section 5.1                      Hedge Requirement.


 


(a)           Hedge Requirement.  To protect against fluctuations in interest rates, Sponsor shall deliver to Freddie Mac and shall make arrangements for third-party Hedge Agreements to be in place and maintained at all times, with respect to the Class A Certificates during any period in which the Class A Certificates bear interest at a Weekly Reset Rate or Monthly Reset Rate.  The Hedge Agreement with respect to the Class A Certificates shall take the form one or more Caps that meets the requirements of this Article V.  The initial Hedge Agreement with respect to the Class A Certificates shall be three Caps with counterparties acceptable to Freddie Mac.  The initial Caps shall have a termination date of August 15, 2019 and a Strike Rate of 3%.  The notional amount of the initial Caps shall equal the Initial Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates on the Closing Date and shall decline based upon the scheduled amortization of the Class A Certificates.  The initial Caps shall otherwise satisfy the terms hereof.


 


(b)           Expiration of Hedge.  Not later than the day following the expiration of the term of any Hedge, if a Subsequent Hedge is required pursuant to Section 5.1(a), the Sponsor shall deliver or cause to be delivered a Subsequent Hedge Agreement from a Counterparty acceptable to Freddie Mac.


 


(c)           Terms of Subsequent Hedge.  Except as otherwise permitted by Sections 5.2, 5.7 or otherwise consented to by Freddie Mac, each Subsequent Hedge shall be a Cap and shall have a term equal to the lesser of five (5) years or the remaining term of the related Series Pool.


 






  





48











  











(d)           Documentation.  Each Hedge and Subsequent Hedge shall be with a Counterparty acceptable to Freddie Mac.  Prior to seeking any bids from any Counterparty for a Subsequent Hedge, the Sponsor shall obtain the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.  Each Hedge shall be evidenced and governed by such documents (the “Hedge Documents”) as shall be in form and content be acceptable to, Freddie Mac.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Hedge Agreement shall satisfy the requirements of Section 5.2.


 


(e)           Performance Under Hedge Documents.  The Sponsor shall comply fully with, and otherwise perform when due, its respective obligations under all Hedge Documents.  The Sponsor shall not exercise without Freddie Mac’s prior written consent, and shall exercise at Freddie Mac’s direction, any rights or remedies under any Hedge Document.


 


(f)           Termination; Transfer.  The Sponsor shall not terminate, transfer nor consent to any transfer of any existing Hedge without Freddie Mac’s prior written consent as long as the Sponsor is required to maintain a Hedge with respect to the Class A Certificates pursuant to this Agreement.  Prior to termination of an existing Hedge on a date prior to its scheduled termination date, the Sponsor shall, so long as a Weekly Reset Rate or Monthly Reset Rate is in effect, obtain a new Hedge satisfying the terms of this Agreement.  Any new Hedge must be effective on or before or on the date immediately following the last date on which the existing Hedge is in effect.  In no event shall the Sponsor terminate the Hedge if in connection with such termination Freddie Mac would be required to pay a termination fee pursuant to the Hedge, unless Freddie Mac expressly consents to the payment of such termination fee.


 


(g)           Hedge Assignment; Delivery of Payments.  The Sponsor shall assign to Freddie Mac each Hedge in effect from time to time pursuant to this Agreement.  The Counterparty shall make all its payments to Freddie Mac to be allocated to the payment of fees, expenses, reimbursements and other Obligations of the Sponsor hereunder, and in no event paid to Class A Certificates.  Any amounts received by the Sponsor from the Counterparty pursuant to the Hedge Agreement shall be paid by the Sponsor to Freddie Mac immediately and until paid to Freddie Mac, shall be held in trust for the benefit of Freddie Mac until applied in accordance with the terms of Article VIII hereof.


 


(h)           Notice of Expiration.  Not less than six (6) months prior to the expiration of each Hedge delivered hereunder, if a Subsequent Hedge will be required pursuant to Section 5.1(a), the Sponsor shall provide Freddie Mac written notice of the proposed terms of the Hedge expected to be delivered by the Sponsor to replace the expiring Hedge.


 


Section 5.2                      Hedge Agreement Terms.


 


(a)           Hedge Agreement Payment Terms.  For each Hedge related to the Class A Certificates, the Counterparty shall pay a floating amount computed in accordance with the Hedge Documents to the extent the Index Rate exceeds the fixed cap rate (the “Strike Rate”).  For each Hedge Agreement, the Strike Rate must not exceed 4.5% per annum or shall otherwise be acceptable to Freddie Mac.  Each Hedge must provide for monthly settlement on the fifteenth day of each month with a grace period of no longer than three (3) Business Days.  If the SIFMA Index Rate is not published on any reset date under the Hedge, the Counterparty must determine an appropriate index as a substitute for the SIFMA Index Rate on each such reset date.  The index so determined shall provide a rate of interest that is equivalent to the prevailing rate of


 






  





49











  











interest borne by bonds that are rated in the highest short-term rating category by Moody’s and S&P for issuers of not less than five “high grade” component issuers selected by the Counterparty which shall include, without limitation, issuers of general obligation bonds, and that are subject to tender by holders thereof for purchase on not more than seven (7) days notice and the interest on which is (a) variable, determined on a weekly basis, (b) excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (c) not subject to a “minimum tax” or similar tax unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to such tax.


 


(b)           Notional Principal Amount of Hedge.  The initial notional amount of any Hedge shall be equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance immediately prior to the commencement of the applicable Hedge Period.


 


(c)           [Reserved].


 


(d)           Cap Fee Escrow.  From amounts received with respect to the Pledged Security Collateral, the Pledge Custodian on behalf of the Sponsor shall pay to the Servicer for deposit to a Cap Fee Escrow monthly on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month (commencing on the fifteenth (15th) day of the month next preceding the date that is sixty (60) months prior to the expiration of each existing Hedge), an amount that will result in the accumulation by the expiration of the existing Hedge, without regard to earnings from investments of amounts in the Cap Fee Escrow, of funds estimated by Freddie Mac to be sufficient to pay the cost of a Cap with a term of five years in a notional amount that will equal the outstanding principal amount of the Class A Certificates at such time.  During the first twelve (12) months after the commencement of deposits required hereunder, the monthly deposit shall be equal to a fraction, the numerator of which is 125% of the estimated cost of the Cap required hereunder and the denominator of which 60.  Thereafter, the amount of the monthly deposit shall be recomputed by Freddie Mac annually based upon the Freddie Mac’s estimation of the cost of such Cap times 125% minus amounts already on deposit in the applicable Cap Fee Escrow divided by the number of months remaining until to the related expiration date of the preceding Hedge.


 


Amounts on deposit in the Cap Fee Escrow shall be invested and reinvested by the Servicer only in the following, having maturities of no more than six months:


 


(i)           Bank accounts or certificates of deposit that are fully insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation.

50











  











(iv)           Commercial paper with a rating of at least “A-1” by S&P and at least P-1 by Moody’s.


 


(v)           Corporate notes and bonds with a rating of at least “AA” and “Aa” from S&P and Moody’s.


 


(vi)           Shares or other interests in mutual funds that invest exclusively in (A) instruments the interest on which is exempt from federal income taxation and which are rated by at least one nationally recognized statistical rating agency in one of that agency’s two highest rating categories or (B) any of the categories of investments described in paragraphs (i) through (v) above.


 


During any period the Class A Certificates have been converted with the prior written consent of Freddie Mac to bear interest at a Term Reset Rate and no Hedge is required to be maintained pursuant to Section 5.1 of this Agreement, and provided no Event of Default is existing hereunder, any amounts then held on deposit in the Cap Fee Escrow shall be distributed to the Sponsor upon a written request therefor delivered to the Servicer and Freddie Mac.


 


(e)             Additional Collateral.  Each Hedge Agreement shall provide that if the long-term, unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Counterparty shall cease to be rated at least A1 by Moody’s or A+ by S&P (or Aa1 by Moody’s or AA+ by S&P in the case of counterparties that are insurance companies) or such indebtedness shall cease to be rated by Moody’s or S&P, then such party’s obligations under the Hedge Agreement shall be required to be collateralized on such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Freddie Mac including without limitation the delivery of cash collateral to a Trustee.  If the Counterparty fails to escrow collateral as provided in the Hedge Agreement, the Sponsor shall enter into a Subsequent Hedge within thirty (30) days after such failure to escrow collateral.


 


Section 5.3                      Failure to Deliver Subsequent Hedge.


 


If:


 


(a)           the Sponsor fails to deliver a Subsequent Hedge as required by this Agreement, or


 


(b)           the Sponsor has indicated that it will obtain a Subsequent Hedge and has not provided to Freddie Mac and the Servicer a copy of the executed and delivered Subsequent Hedge when required by Section 5.1(b),


 


then Freddie Mac at its option, may


 


(i)           purchase a Subsequent Hedge upon such terms as it deems satisfactory in its own name or for the account of the Sponsor with funds on deposit in the Cap Fee Escrow, and if funds in the Cap Fee Escrow are insufficient for that purpose, Freddie Mac may advance the insufficient amount, which advance shall be deemed a Credit Advance; or


 


(ii)           treat such failure by the Sponsor as an Event of Default.


 






  





51











  











If Freddie Mac exercises its right under clause (i) and is reimbursed with interest its Credit Advance within the time required by Section 3.2 hereof after it gives notice to the Sponsor that Freddie Mac purchased the Subsequent Hedge, the failure of the Sponsor to obtain the Hedge shall no longer constitute an Event of Default.


 


The Sponsor hereby appoints Freddie Mac as its attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of the Sponsor and in the name of the Sponsor, from time to time in Freddie Mac’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Freddie Mac may reasonably deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 5.3. The power of attorney established pursuant to this Section 5.3 shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.


 


Section 5.4                      [Reserved].


 


Section 5.5                      Pledge and Assignment of  Security Interest in Hedge Collateral.  To secure the Obligations, the Sponsor hereby assigns, pledges and grants a security interest to Freddie Mac in and to all of its right, title and interest in and to the following (collectively, the “Hedge Collateral”):


 


(a)           the Hedge Agreement and any Subsequent Hedge Agreements;


 


(b)           any and all moneys (collectively, “Hedge Payments”) payable to the Sponsor, from time to time, pursuant to the Hedge Agreements or any Subsequent Hedge Agreements by the Counterparty thereunder;


 


(c)           the Cap Fee Escrow;


 


(d)           all rights of the Sponsor under any of the foregoing, including all rights of the Sponsor to the Hedge Payments and all contract rights and general intangibles now existing or hereafter arising with respect to any or all of the foregoing;


 


(e)           all rights, liens, security interests and guarantees now existing or hereafter granted by the Counterparty, or any other person, to secure or facilitate payment of the Hedge Payments;


 


(f)           all documents, writings, books, files, records and other documents arising from, or relating to, any of the foregoing, whether now existing or hereafter created;


 


(g)           all extensions, renewals and replacements of the foregoing; and


 


(h)           all cash and non-cash proceeds and products of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, interest, dividends, cash, instruments and other property from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed or distributable in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the other Hedge Collateral.


 


Section 5.6                      Obligations Remain Absolute.  Nothing contained herein shall relieve the Sponsor of its primary obligation to pay or cause to be paid all amounts due in respect of the Obligations, subject to Section 9.11.

ARTICLE VI


 


UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE SECURITY AGREEMENT


 


This Agreement is also a security agreement under the Uniform Commercial Code with respect to the Hedge Collateral as provided in Article V and the Pledged Security Collateral as provided in Article VIII and all funds and accounts and investments thereof now or hereafter held by the Administrator under the Series Certificate Agreement (to the extent of any retained interested by the Sponsor therein) and all funds and accounts and investments thereof now or hereafter held for the benefit of Freddie Mac under the Custody Account, the Stabilization Escrow Agreement, and all cash and non-cash proceeds thereof (collectively, “UCC Collateral”), and the Sponsor hereby grants to Freddie Mac a security interest in the UCC Collateral as security for all Obligations due under this Agreement and under any of the Sponsor Documents.  The Sponsor shall execute and deliver to Freddie Mac, upon Freddie Mac’s request, financing statements, continuation statements and other account agreements and amendments, in such form as Freddie Mac may require to perfect or continue the perfection of this security interest.  The Sponsor shall pay or cause to be paid all filing costs and all costs and expenses of any record searches for financing statements that Freddie Mac may reasonably require.  Except as otherwise permitted herein, without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac, the Sponsor shall not create or permit to exist any other lien or security interest in any of the UCC Collateral.  The Sponsor covenants and agrees that it will defend Freddie Mac’s rights and security interests created by this Article against the claims and demands of all Persons.  If an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, subject to Article VII hereof, Freddie Mac shall have the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code, in addition to all remedies provided by this Agreement or existing under applicable law.  In exercising any remedies, Freddie Mac may exercise its remedies against the UCC Collateral separately or together, and in any order, without in any way affecting the availability of the other remedies available to Freddie Mac.

53











  











the Sponsor of such failure, or actual knowledge by the Sponsor of such failure; provided, however, in the event such failure shall relate to a non-monetary term, covenant, condition or agreement that can be corrected but not within thirty (30) days, such failure shall not constitute an Event of Default hereunder if corrective action is instituted by the Sponsor within thirty (30) days and diligently pursued until such failure is cured, provided such failure must be cured not later than ninety (90) days after the initial date of such failure;


 


(d)           the Sponsor (or any Affiliate thereof who is a party to such Sponsor Document) shall fail to observe or perform in all material respects any other term, covenant, condition or agreement set forth in any of the other Sponsor Documents, or there shall otherwise occur an event of default caused by the Sponsor (or any Affiliate thereof who is a party to such Sponsor Document) under any of the other Sponsor Documents (taking into account any applicable cure period);


 


(e)           Freddie Mac shall have given the Sponsor written notice that Pledged Class A Certificates have not been remarketed as of the sixtieth (60th) day following purchase by the Administrator on behalf of the Sponsor, and Freddie Mac has not been reimbursed for the applicable Liquidity Advance, together with interest thereon, or has not been paid in full all fees and other amounts due to Freddie Mac under this Agreement;

(g)           failure of the Sponsor to deliver a Subsequent Hedge or replacement Hedge as required under Article V;


 


(h)           an “event of default” by the institution providing the Hedge occurs under any Hedge Documents and the Sponsor does not provide a Subsequent Hedge within 10 Business Days;


 


(i)           the Guarantor fails to perform its obligations when required under the Guaranty;


 


(j)           Article VIII of this Agreement, or the validity or enforceability thereof, shall be contested by the Sponsor or any Class B Owner, or the Sponsor, or any Class B Owner shall deny that it has any further obligation under Article VIII of this Agreement or any instrument delivered thereunder, or that its beneficial interest in the Class B Certificates is subject to or subordinate to the terms of this Agreement, as applicable, prior to the termination of this Agreement;


 


(k)           any representation made by the Sponsor in Sections 2.1(uu), 2.2(a)(iii), 2.2(a)(iv), 2.2(a)(v), 2.2(a)(vi) or 2.2(a)(vii) or in Section 8.10 of this Agreement shall prove to have been incorrect in any material respect when made (the breach of other representations made by the Sponsor herein shall not constitute an “Event of Default” but shall be dealt with pursuant to Section 2.4 hereof); or


 






  





54











  











(m)           a subordinate loan is made by the Guarantor or an affiliate of the Guarantor not in accordance with Section 3.24 hereof.


 


Section 7.2                      Remedies; Waivers.


 


(a)           Remedies.  Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, (i)  Freddie Mac may declare all of the Obligations hereunder to be immediately due and payable, in which case all such Obligations shall become due and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or notice of any kind, including notice of default, notice of intent to accelerate or notice of acceleration;(ii) Freddie Mac may direct the Administrator to deliver all amounts payable on the Class B Certificates to the Pledge Custodian for deposit into the Custody Account (which amounts shall be Pledged Security Collateral hereunder); (iii)  at the written direction of a Freddie Mac Authorized Officer, the Pledge Custodian shall deliver all Pledged Security Collateral to Freddie Mac; (iv) Freddie Mac may, or the Pledge Custodian at the written direction of a Freddie Mac Authorized Officer shall, without further notice, exercise all rights, privileges or options pertaining to the UCC Collateral as if Freddie Mac were the absolute owner thereof, upon such terms and conditions as Freddie Mac may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by Freddie Mac or the Pledge Custodian (but neither Freddie Mac nor the Pledge Custodian shall have any duty to exercise any of those rights, privileges or options and shall not be responsible for any failure to do so or delay in so doing); and (v) Freddie Mac may, or the Pledge Custodian at the written direction of a Freddie Mac Authorized Officer shall, exercise in respect of the UCC Collateral, in addition to other rights and remedies provided for in this Agreement or otherwise available to it, all of the rights and remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and also may, without notice except as specified below, sell the UCC Collateral at private sale, at any of the offices of Freddie Mac or the Pledge Custodian or elsewhere, for cash, on credit or for future delivery, and upon such other terms as may be commercially reasonable.  The Sponsor agrees that, to the extent notice of sale shall be required by law, at least ten (10) days’ prior notice to the Sponsor of the time after which any private sale is to be made shall constitute reasonable notification.  Neither Freddie Mac nor the Pledge Custodian shall be obligated to make any sale of UCC Collateral regardless of notice of sale having been given.  Freddie Mac may, or the Pledge Custodian at the written direction of a Freddie Mac Authorized Officer shall, adjourn any public or private sale from time to time by announcement at the time and place fixed therefor, and such sale may, without further notice, be made at the time and place to which it was so adjourned.


 


Freddie Mac shall also have the right to provide notice to the Administrator of a Liquidity Provider Termination Event, in which event the funds advanced by Freddie Mac to purchase Class A Certificates shall be a Credit Advance and immediately due and payable hereunder.  In addition to the foregoing, Freddie Mac shall have the right to take such action at law or in equity, without notice or demand, as it deems advisable to protect and enforce the rights of Freddie Mac against the Sponsor in and to the UCC Collateral, including, but not limited to, (i) the exercise of any rights and remedies available to Freddie Mac under any of the Sponsor Documents and (ii) the right to cause a mandatory tender of all Certificates and to require that the Sponsor elect to fund or cause the funding of the purchase of such Certificates.


 


Notwithstanding anything contained in this Section 7.2 to the contrary, following an Event of Default and prior to any liquidation of the UCC Collateral, the Class B Owners shall continue to be the owner(s) of all Class B Certificates, and the Sponsor shall continue to be the


 






  





55











  











beneficial owner of all Purchased Bonds, Pledged Class A Certificates and other Pledged Security Collateral, subject to any and all liens in favor of Freddie Mac created by this Agreement.


 


(b)           Application of Proceeds.  The Pledge Custodian shall apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Security Collateral as follows: (a) first, to reimburse the Pledge Custodian for the reasonable expenses of preparing for sale, selling and the like and to reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and legal expenses incurred by the Pledge Custodian in connection therewith, (b) second, to Freddie Mac to be applied to the repayment of all amounts then due and unpaid on the Obligations and (c) then, to pay the balance, if any, to (i) the Sponsor, or (ii) as otherwise required by law.  The Sponsor shall not be liable for any deficiency, subject to Section 9.11(b) of this Agreement, which sets forth circumstances under which personal liability applies to the Sponsor, if the proceeds of any final sale or other disposition of the Pledged Security Collateral and any other security provided by the Sponsor for its Obligations hereunder is insufficient to pay the Obligations.


 


(c)           Waivers.  Freddie Mac shall have the right, to be exercised in its discretion, to waive any Event of Default under this Agreement.  Unless such waiver expressly provides to the contrary, any waiver so granted shall extend only to the specific event or occurrence which gave rise to the Event of Default so waived and not to any other similar event or occurrence which occurs subsequent to the date of such waiver.


 


Section 7.3                      Rights with Respect to Defaults under Bond Mortgages; Bond Purchase Loan.


 


(a)           Exercise of Right of Sponsor to Fund or Cause Funding in Connection with Release Event.  Upon the occurrence of a Release Event under the Series Certificate Agreement and the exercise by Freddie Mac of its right to cause a purchase of the related series of Bonds, the Sponsor shall have the right (or where the Sponsor directs Freddie Mac to cause a Release Event pursuant to Sections 3.21, 3.22, 3.23 or 3.26 the obligation) economically to fund or cause the funding of the purchase of such Bonds as provided in this Section 7.3(a).  If the Sponsor elects to exercise any such right by giving notice to Freddie Mac, the Sponsor shall provide or cause to be provided sufficient immediately available funds to Freddie Mac to fund the Total Release Price of the affected Bonds not later than 11:00 a.m. Washington, D.C. time, on the Business Day prior to the Release Event Date designated by Freddie Mac.  If the Sponsor makes such election or directs Freddie Mac to declare a Release Event pursuant to the terms hereof and fails to provide or cause to be provided such funds to Freddie Mac when required, such Release Event shall be cancelled.  All moneys provided or caused to have been provided by the Sponsor to Freddie Mac for the purchase of Bonds, shall be applied as provided in the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(b)           Exercise of Purchase Right by Freddie Mac.  Upon the occurrence of a Release Event with respect to the Bonds, Freddie Mac shall have the right to fund the purchase of the related series of Bonds if the Sponsor declines or fails to exercise properly its right to fund or cause funding with respect to the same.  Prior to any exercise of such right, Freddie Mac shall provide written notice to the Sponsor (the “Freddie Mac Purchase Notice”) not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the proposed Release Event Date (or such lesser time period necessary for the Release Event under Section 13.04 of the Series Certificate Agreement) identifying each series


 






  





56











  











of Bonds giving rise to a Release Event, the circumstances giving rise to such Release Event and the proposed purchase date and stating that the Sponsor may elect to fund or cause the funding of such purchase of the affected series of Bonds.


 


In the event the Sponsor elects to fund or cause the funding of the purchase of the affected series of Bonds, the provisions of subsection (a) above shall apply.


 


In the event the Sponsor does not elect to fund or cause the funding of the purchase of the affected series of Bonds, and Freddie Mac does not decide to terminate the Release Event, the affected series of Bonds are required to be purchased with funds drawn pursuant to the Credit Enhancement by Freddie Mac under the Series Certificate Agreement, and such Bonds shall be delivered to the Pledge Custodian and held in the name of the Pledge Custodian as applicable for the benefit of the Sponsor subject to the lien in favor of Freddie Mac.  All such moneys for the purchase of such Bonds shall be applied as provided in Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Any Credit Advance by Freddie Mac under this Section 7.3(b) to fund the purchase of an affected series of Bonds, shall be deemed to be a loan from Freddie Mac to the Sponsor (a “Bond Purchase Loan”).  The maturity date of any Bond Purchase Loan shall be the earliest of (1) two years from the date of purchase, or (2) the sale or transfer of all of the affected series of Bonds, or the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion of the related Bond Mortgage, on which maturity date the outstanding principal of such Bond Purchase Loan shall be due and payable in full, or (3) the date of termination of the Series Pool in whole in accordance with Article XIII of the Series Certificate Agreement.  (Any Bond Purchase Loan may be prepaid by the Sponsor at any time.)  Interest on any Bond Purchase Loan shall accrue at a rate of interest equal to the prime rate of interest of Citibank, N.A., until such time as another “Money Center” bank is designated by Freddie Mac in its sole discretion by notice to the Sponsor, plus two percent (2%) per annum, which shall be payable on the fifteenth day of each calendar month.  The principal of any Bond Purchase Loan shall be payable from amounts applied as provided in Section 4.03(b) of the Series Certificate Agreement except, prior to the payment in full of all Class A Certificates under the Series Certificate Agreement and prior to the termination thereof, the principal of any outstanding Bond Purchase Loan shall not be payable (nor be deemed due for payment) from amounts applied pursuant to the aforementioned Section 4.03(b) if such amounts are derived from a Credit Advance by Freddie Mac in connection with a subsequent Release Event.  The principal of any outstanding Bond Purchase Loan shall also be payable from any payments of principal in respect of a Purchased Bond pursuant to Article VIII hereof.  At any time prior to the Sponsor's funding of the purchase of such Bonds or causing to fund the same, (i)  Freddie Mac shall retain all rights and remedies with respect to any such Mortgaged Property and the related Owner Documents and (ii) the Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has relinquished and has no rights to exercise remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the related Owner Documents except as specifically provided under any Sponsor Documents and that with respect thereto the Sponsor shall not exercise any such rights without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.


 


(c)           Material Adverse Credit Condition.  Freddie Mac hereby acknowledges that a Release Event may not be declared solely because the DCR or LTV of a Mortgaged Property (as defined in Section 3.19 hereof) related to a Bond worsens following the Closing Date, and that any such event shall not in and of itself be treated as a “material adverse credit condition” for


 






  





57











  











such purpose.  The foregoing statement does not in any way alter or change the DCR and LTV requirements for Substitute Bonds specified in Section 3.19 hereof.


 


Section 7.4                      No Remedy Exclusive.  Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy conferred upon or reserved in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies given under the Sponsor Documents or existing at law or in equity.  No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing under any Sponsor Document upon the happening of any event set forth in Section 7.1 shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such event, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  In order to entitle Freddie Mac to exercise any remedy reserved to Freddie Mac in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required under the applicable provisions of any of the other Sponsor Documents.  The rights and remedies of Freddie Mac specified in this Agreement are for the sole and exclusive benefit, use and protection of Freddie Mac, and Freddie Mac is entitled, but shall have no duty or obligation to the Sponsor, the Guarantor, any Sponsor Affiliate, the Pledge Custodian, the Administrator or otherwise, (a) to exercise or to refrain from any right or remedy reserved to Freddie Mac hereunder, or (b) to cause the Pledge Custodian, the Administrator or any other party to exercise or to refrain from exercising any right or remedy available to it under any of the Sponsor Documents.


 


 


ARTICLE VIII


 


PLEDGE, SECURITY AND CUSTODY OF PLEDGED SECURITY COLLATERAL


 


Section 8.1                      Pledged Security Collateral.  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.18, the Sponsor hereby assigns and pledges to the Pledge Custodian, and grants to the Pledge Custodian, for the benefit of Freddie Mac, a continuing security interest in, and a lien on, all of the Sponsor’s right, title and interest in and to the following property (collectively, the “Pledged Security Collateral”):


 


(a)           all Purchased Bonds;


 


(b)           all Pledged Class A Certificates;


 


(c)           all amounts deposited into the Custody Account;


 


(d)           all amounts held under the Stabilization Escrow Agreement (the "Stabilization Escrow");


 


(e)           all interest and other amounts payable on, and all rights with respect to, any Purchased Bonds, Class B Certificates, Pledged Class A Certificates, the Stabilization Escrow and all amounts on deposit in the Custody Account (including, without limitation, all payments of principal and interest thereon); and


 


(f)           all proceeds of any of the foregoing.


 


Section 8.2                      Delivery of Pledged Security Collateral.  At such time as a Class A Certificate becomes a Pledged Class A Certificate or a Bond becomes a Purchased Bond in


 






  





58











  











accordance with the Series Certificate Agreement, and this Agreement, the Sponsor shall be the beneficial owner of each of the Pledged Class A Certificates and Purchased Bonds, as applicable, which, regardless of the identity of the beneficial owner thereof, shall be held by the Pledge Custodian subject to the security interest created by the terms of this Agreement.  All Pledged Security Collateral shall be deposited in the Custody Account (as defined in Section 8.11 below), except for the Stabilization Escrow which shall be held under the Stabilization Escrow Agreement.  The Pledge Custodian shall cause the Purchased Bonds and the Pledged Class A Certificates, as applicable, to be registered in the name of the Pledge Custodian or, if transfers are recorded in book-entry form only, cause the appropriate records of the applicable financial intermediary to reflect that the Pledge Custodian holds a security interest in the Purchased Bonds and the Pledged Class A Certificates, as applicable, for the benefit of Freddie Mac.


 


Section 8.3                      Amounts Received on Pledged Class A Certificates.


 


(a)           Provided that (i) no Advance has been made pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement and remains unreimbursed, (ii) all fees and any other amounts due and owing to Freddie Mac under this Agreement have been paid and (iii) the Pledge Custodian has not received a written notice from Freddie Mac that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement, subject to the provisions of Sections 8.3(b) and 8.3(c) and the Series Certificate Agreement, then the Pledge Custodian shall pay to the Sponsor within one (1) Business Day of receipt all amounts received by the Pledge Custodian with respect to any Pledged Class A Certificates until all Pledged Class A Certificates are released in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(b)           If an Advance has been made pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement and remains unreimbursed, or if all fees and any other amounts due and owing to Freddie Mac under this Agreement have not been paid, or if the Pledge Custodian receives a written notice from Freddie Mac that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under this Agreement, the Pledge Custodian shall pay, first, to Freddie Mac within one (1) Business Day of receipt such amounts received by the Pledge Custodian with respect to any Pledged Class A Certificates as are equal to the amount of any such unreimbursed Advance or other amounts due and owing to Freddie Mac under this Agreement and, second, subject to the provisions of Section 8.3(c) and the Series Certificate Agreement, the balance, if any, to the Sponsor until all Pledged Class A Certificates are released from the Custody Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.


 


(c)           Before making any payments to the Sponsor pursuant to this Section 8.3, the Administrator shall confirm the aggregate amounts of the Freddie Mac Fee, and the Remarketing Agent Fee paid directly, or caused to be paid, by the Sponsor since the immediately preceding date on which payments were made to the Sponsor pursuant to this Section 8.3 (the “Sponsor Paid Expenses”).  For purposes of such confirmation, the Administrator shall be entitled to rely on a statement setting forth such Sponsor Paid Expenses (separately and in the aggregate) delivered by facsimile by the Sponsor to the Pledge Custodian at least two (2) Business Days prior to the date payments are to be made pursuant to this Section 8.3.


 


Section 8.4                      Amounts Received on Purchased Bonds.  The Pledge Custodian shall pay to Freddie Mac within one (1) Business Day all amounts received by the Pledge Custodian with respect to any Purchased Bonds, for credit to the obligations of the Sponsor hereunder, until such


 






  





59











  











Purchased Bonds are released to the Sponsor in accordance with the terms of Section 8.5 of this Agreement.


 


Section 8.5                      Release of Purchased Bonds.  If the Pledge Custodian has received written notice from Freddie Mac that Freddie Mac (provided no written notice shall be required when Freddie Mac is also acting as the Pledge Custodian) has been fully reimbursed by the Sponsor for all Obligations relating to a Purchased Bond (and Freddie Mac agrees to give such notice promptly following full reimbursement), that no Advances remain unreimbursed, that all fees and other amounts currently owing to Freddie Mac have been paid and that no Event of Default exists hereunder, the Pledge Custodian shall release such Purchased Bond together with the proceeds thereof remaining in the possession of the Pledge Custodian, if any, to the Sponsor.  The release of such Purchased Bond shall be free and clear of the security interest created by this Agreement.


 


Section 8.6                      Release of Pledged Class A Certificates.  If the Pledge Custodian has received written notice from Freddie Mac (provided no written notice shall be required when Freddie Mac is also acting as the Pledge Custodian) that Freddie Mac has been fully reimbursed by the Sponsor for all Obligations relating to any Available Remarketing Class A Certificate (and Freddie Mac agrees to give such notice promptly following full reimbursement), the Pledge Custodian shall release such Available Remarketing Class A Certificate to the Administrator for delivery to the Sponsor or, if applicable, in connection with a remarketing to the purchasers of such Pledged Class A Certificates.  The release of any Pledged Class A Certificate shall be free and clear of the security interest created by this Agreement.  If directed in writing by Freddie Mac if an Event of Default exists, the Pledge Custodian shall deliver Pledged Class A Certificates that are not Available Remarketing Class A Certificates to the Administrator for cancellation in exchange for the Bonds related thereto as soon as such Bonds have been received by the Pledge Custodian from the Administrator.  Any such Bonds so received shall be held hereunder as Purchased Bonds and notice thereof shall be provided to the Sponsor.


 


Section 8.7                      Loss to Pledged Security Collateral.  The Pledge Custodian shall not be liable for any loss with respect to any Pledged Security Collateral in its possession (except for any loss resulting from the Pledge Custodian’s willful misconduct or negligence), nor shall such loss diminish the Obligations.


 


Section 8.8                      [Reserved].


 


Section 8.9                      Ownership Restrictions.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, ownership by and release to the Sponsor of any Pledged Security Collateral as described hereunder shall be in all respects subject to the provisions of any documents restricting or governing transfers and ownership of such Pledged Security Collateral.


 


Section 8.10                      Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor to the Pledge Custodian.  The Sponsor represents and warrants to the Pledge Custodian on the Closing Date and on each date that Purchased Bonds or Pledged Class A Certificates are delivered to the Pledge Custodian hereunder with respect to such Purchased Bonds and Pledged Class A Certificates that:


 


(a)           it is the legal and beneficial owner of (and has full right and authority to pledge and assign) the applicable Pledged Security Collateral, free and clear of all liens,


 






  





60











  











security interests, options or other charges or encumbrances (collectively, “Liens”) except Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement; and


 


(b)           upon delivery of the Pledged Security Collateral to the Pledge Custodian (or notice to the financial intermediary, if applicable), the Pledge Custodian shall have a valid, enforceable and first priority security interest in all of the Pledged Security Collateral securing the Obligations.


 


Section 8.11                      Custody Account.  On or prior to the Closing Date, the Pledge Custodian shall establish on its books and in its records the Custody Account.  The Pledge Custodian shall maintain the Custody Account until the termination of this Agreement.  At no time shall the Custody Account be maintained on behalf of, or be payable to, any person other than Freddie Mac.  The Sponsor and any Class B Owner shall not have any right of withdrawal from the Custody Account.  No property other than Pledged Security Collateral shall be deposited by the Pledge Custodian in the Custody Account.  Segregation of the Pledged Security Collateral in the Custody Account from other property maintained with the Pledge Custodian shall be accomplished by appropriate identification on the Pledge Custodian’s books and records.  The Pledge Custodian shall, at all times prior to the termination of this Agreement, maintain a record of all Purchased Bonds, Pledged Class A Certificates and other property in the Custody Account separately identifying such Purchased Bonds, Class B Certificates, Pledged Class A Certificates, or other property received with respect thereto as being subject to the security interest granted to the Pledge Custodian on behalf of Freddie Mac in this Agreement.  So long as the internal procedures set forth in this Section are met by the Pledge Custodian, the Pledge Custodian may hold the Pledged Security Collateral in its vaults or in a commingled account (whether book-entry or otherwise) of the Pledge Custodian, as agent for its customers, with any bank, central depository or clearing organization as the Pledge Custodian’s subcustodian, in nominee name or otherwise.


 


Section 8.12                      Appointment and Powers of the Pledge Custodian.


 


(a)           The Sponsor acknowledges the appointment of Freddie Mac in its capacity as the Pledge Custodian as collateral agent for Freddie Mac in its corporate capacity under this Agreement, and authorizes the Pledge Custodian to take such actions on behalf of Freddie Mac, and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Pledge Custodian by the terms of this Agreement.  The Pledge Custodian may execute any of its duties as collateral agent under this Agreement by or through its agents (but only with the prior written consent of Freddie Mac) or employees and shall be entitled to retain experts (including counsel) and to act in reliance upon the advice of such experts concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies created by this Agreement and its duties under this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel selected by it.  The Pledge Custodian agrees to perform only those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement.  So long as Freddie Mac is acting as Pledge Custodian hereunder, it shall have no duty to provide notice to, or seek the consent or direction of, Freddie Mac in its corporate capacity.


 


(b)           The Pledge Custodian shall have no duty to exercise any discretionary right, remedy, power or privilege granted to it by this Agreement, or to take any affirmative action


 






  





61











  











under this Agreement, unless directed to do so by Freddie Mac in writing, and shall not, without the prior written approval of Freddie Mac, consent to any departure by the Sponsor from the terms of this Agreement, waive any default on the part of the Sponsor under this Agreement or amend, modify, supplement or terminate, or agree to any surrender of, this Agreement or the Pledged Security Collateral; provided, that the Pledge Custodian shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Pledge Custodian to personal liability, or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Pledged Security Collateral or applicable law.


 


(c)           Neither the Pledge Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement, or in connection with this Agreement, except the Pledge Custodian shall be responsible for its own negligence or willful misconduct; nor shall the Pledge Custodian be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Sponsor of this Agreement or any other document furnished pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement, or of the Pledged Security Collateral (or any part thereof), or for the perfection or priority of any security interest purported to be granted under this Agreement.


 


(d)           The Pledge Custodian shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons.  The Pledge Custodian shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless the Pledge Custodian has received written notice from Freddie Mac that such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature of the Event of Default.  The Pledge Custodian may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Sponsor and its Affiliates as if it were not the agent of Freddie Mac.


 


(e)           None of the provisions contained in this Article VIII shall require the Pledge Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Article VIII except for any liability of the Pledge Custodian arising from its own negligence or willful misconduct.


 


(f)           Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Pledge Custodian be liable for special, consequential or punitive damages.


 


Section 8.13                      Successor Pledge Custodian.


 


(a)           If Freddie Mac no longer acts as Pledge Custodian, if required by the successor pledge custodian or Freddie Mac, the Sponsor and the successor pledge custodian shall execute a new pledge, security and custody agreement that contains substantially the same terms as Article VIII of this Agreement and which is in form and substance satisfactory to Freddie Mac.  The Pledge Custodian acting under this Agreement may at any time resign by an instrument in writing addressed and delivered to the Sponsor and, if applicable, Freddie Mac (provided, however, that, if the Pledge Custodian (if other than Freddie Mac) is Administrator under


 






  





62











  











the Series Certificate Agreement, the Pledge Custodian must have resigned as Administrator under the Series Certificate Agreement), and may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing duly executed by or on behalf of Freddie Mac.


 


(b)           Freddie Mac shall have the right to appoint a successor Pledge Custodian upon any such resignation or removal by an instrument of substitution complying with the requirements of applicable law, or, in the absence of any such requirements, without formality other than appointment and designation in writing (which appointment, provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, shall be subject to the prior consent of the Sponsor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Upon the making and acceptance of such appointment, the execution and delivery by such successor Pledge Custodian of a ratifying instrument pursuant to which such successor Pledge Custodian agrees to assume the duties and obligations imposed on the Pledge Custodian by the terms of this Agreement, and the delivery to such successor Pledge Custodian of the Pledged  Security Collateral and documents and instruments then held by the retiring Pledge Custodian, such successor Pledge Custodian shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the estate, rights, powers, remedies, privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations by this Agreement granted to or conferred or imposed upon the Pledge Custodian named in this Agreement, and any such appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate further successor Pledge Custodians under this Agreement.  No Pledge Custodian shall be discharged from its duties or obligations under this Agreement until the Pledged Security Collateral and documents and instruments then held by such Pledge Custodian shall have been transferred or delivered to the successor Pledge Custodian, and until such retiring Pledge Custodian shall have executed and delivered to the successor Pledge Custodian appropriate instruments assigning the retiring Pledge Custodian’s security or other interest in the Pledged Security Collateral to the successor Pledge Custodian.  The retiring Pledge Custodian shall not be required to make any representation or warranty in connection with any such transfer or assignment.


 


(c)           If no successor Pledge Custodian shall be appointed, as provided above, or, if appointed, shall not have accepted its appointment within thirty (30) days after the resignation or removal of the retiring Pledge Custodian, then the retiring Pledge Custodian may appoint a successor Pledge Custodian.  Each such successor Pledge Custodian shall provide the Sponsor and Freddie Mac with its address, to be used for purposes of Section 9.6, in a notice complying with the terms of Section 9.6.  Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of any retiring Pledge Custodian under this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to inure to the benefit of such Pledge Custodian in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Pledge Custodian in its capacity as such while it was Pledge Custodian under this Agreement.


 


Section 8.14                      Qualifications of Pledge Custodian.  Any Pledge Custodian at any time acting under this Agreement must at all times be either Freddie Mac or a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state of the United States, having a combined capital stock, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least $50,000,000 (or be the wholly-owned subsidiary of a corporation or other entity meeting such requirement) or have at least $500,000,000 in assets under trust management.


 


Section 8.15                      Application of Proceeds.  The Pledge Custodian shall apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Security Collateral following an Event of Default as provided in Section 7.2(b).


 






  





63











  











Section 8.16                      No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver.  If any provision of this Article VIII is breached by the Sponsor and thereafter waived by the Pledge Custodian, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach under this Article VIII; provided that no waiver of any breach or default hereunder may be granted by the Pledge Custodian without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.  Any forbearance by the Pledge Custodian to demand payment for any amounts payable under this Article VIII shall be limited to the particular payment for which the Pledge Custodian forbears demand for payment and will not be deemed a forbearance to demand any other amount payable under this Article VIII.


 


Section 8.17                      Cooperation.  At any time, and from time to time after the date of this Agreement, the Sponsor shall, at the request of the Pledge Custodian or Freddie Mac (if not serving as Pledge Custodian), execute and deliver any instruments or documents, including U.C.C. financing and continuation statements in favor of the Pledge Custodian, reflecting the Pledge Custodian’s security interest in the Pledged Security Collateral, and shall take all such further actions as such party may reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.


 


Section 8.18                      Termination.  The assignments, pledges and security interests created or granted by this Article VIII shall terminate contemporaneously with the termination of this Agreement, at which time the Pledge Custodian shall reassign, without recourse to, or any warranty whatsoever by the Pledge Custodian, and deliver to the Sponsor all Pledged Security Collateral and documents then in the custody or possession of the Pledge Custodian, and, if requested by the Sponsor, shall execute and deliver to the Sponsor for recording or filing in each office in which any assignment or financing statement relative to the Pledged Security Collateral or the agreements relating thereto, or any part thereof, shall have been filed or recorded, a termination statement or release under applicable law (including, if relevant, the U.C.C.) releasing the Pledge Custodian’s interest therein, and such other documents and instruments as the Sponsor may reasonably request, all without recourse to or any warranty whatsoever by the Pledge Custodian, and at the cost and expense of the Sponsor.  Freddie Mac shall notify the Pledge Custodian in writing of any such termination, and the Pledge Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon such notice.


 


Section 8.19                      Representations and Warranties of the Pledge Custodian.  The Pledge Custodian represents and warrants to the Sponsor that:


 


(i)           it has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement;


 


(ii)           all corporate action required to authorize the acceptance of its appointment as Pledge Custodian hereunder and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the effectuation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement has been duly taken; and


 


(iii)           this Agreement has been duly and validly executed by the Pledge Custodian and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Pledge Custodian, enforceable against the Pledge Custodian in accordance with its terms, subject only to


 






  





64











  











bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.


 


 


ARTICLE IX


 


MISCELLANEOUS


 


Section 9.1                      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall be considered an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.


 


Section 9.2                      Amendments, Changes and Modifications.  This Agreement may be amended, changed, modified, altered or terminated only by a written instrument or written instruments signed by the parties to this Agreement.  No course of dealing among the Sponsor and Freddie Mac, nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder, shall operate as a waiver of any rights of Freddie Mac hereunder.  Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the specific purpose for which given.


 


Section 9.3                      Payment Procedure.  All amounts due to Freddie Mac under Article III of this Agreement shall be paid to Freddie Mac.  All such payments shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds in accordance with instructions given to the Sponsor by Freddie Mac to an account designated in writing by Freddie Mac before 2:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) on the date when due, unless the Sponsor is otherwise instructed in writing by Freddie Mac.


 


Section 9.4                      Payments on Business Days.  In any case where the date of payment to Freddie Mac or the expiration of any time period hereunder occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment or expiration of such time period need not occur on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the day of maturity or expiration of such period, except that interest shall continue to accrue for the period after such date to the next Business Day.


 


Section 9.5                      Governing Law; Severability.  This Agreement shall be construed, and the rights and obligations of Freddie Mac and the Sponsor hereunder determined, in accordance with federal statutory or common law (“federal law”).  Insofar as there may be no applicable rule or precedent under federal law and insofar as to do so would not frustrate the purposes of any provision of this Agreement and the Freddie Mac Act, the local law of the State of New York shall be deemed reflective of federal law.  The parties agree that any legal actions among Freddie Mac and the Sponsor regarding each party hereunder shall be originated in the United States District Court in and for the Eastern District of Virginia, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of said Court in connection with any action or proceeding initiated concerning this Agreement.


 


The invalidity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other provision, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 9.6                      Notices.  All notices, directions, certificates or other communications hereunder to Freddie Mac or the Sponsor shall be deemed to be given (unless another form of notice shall be specifically set forth in this Agreement) on the Business Day following the date on which the same shall have been delivered to a national overnight delivery service (receipt of which to be evidenced by a signed receipt for overnight delivery service) with arrangements made for payment of all charges, for next Business Day delivery, addressed as set forth below.  All notices, directions, certificates or other communications to the Pledge Custodian or the Administrator shall be given and addressed in accordance with this Agreement and the Series Certificate Agreement.

Section 9.7                      Further Assurances and Corrective Instruments.  To the extent permitted by law, the parties to this Agreement agree that they will, from time to time, execute, acknowledge and deliver, or cause to be executed, acknowledged and delivered, such supplements to this Agreement and such further instruments as Freddie Mac may request and as may be reasonably required in the opinion of Freddie Mac or its counsel to effectuate the intention of or to facilitate the performance of this Agreement or any other Sponsor Document.


 


Section 9.8                      Term of this Agreement.  The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) shall continue in full force and effect, and Sponsor shall not be released from liability under this Agreement until the later of (a) the Terminating Mandatory Tender Date, (b) the date on which Freddie Mac has no further liability (accrued or contingent) under the Series Certificate Agreement and (c) the date on which Freddie Mac has been paid all amounts due it under this Agreement, under the other Sponsor Documents and otherwise with respect to the Obligations.  Notwithstanding such termination, the provisions of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.4 and Section 3.12 hereof shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.


 


Section 9.9                      Assignments; Transfers; Third-Parties Rights.  The Sponsor shall not assign this Agreement, or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.  This Agreement may not be transferred in any respect without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.  Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right upon the owner or holder of any Certificate or upon any other Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.


 


Section 9.10                      Headings.  Article and section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.


 


Section 9.11                      Limitation on Personal Liability.


 


(a)           Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.11(b), neither the Sponsor nor its officers, directors, partners, members, managers or employees, shall have personal liability under this Agreement or any other Sponsor Document for the payment of the payment Obligations or for the performance of any other Obligations of the Sponsor under the Sponsor Documents, and Freddie Mac’s only recourse for the satisfaction or performance of the Obligations shall be


 






  





67











  











Freddie Mac’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the UCC Collateral and any other collateral held by Freddie Mac as security for the Obligations.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Sponsor acknowledges that this Section 9.11(a) shall not be construed as limiting the coverage of, or any of Freddie Mac’s rights under, the Guaranty.


 


(b)           The Sponsor shall be personally liable to Freddie Mac for its damages, losses or expenses, as applicable upon the occurrence of any of the following: (1) fraud or written material misrepresentation by the Sponsor, or any Sponsor Affiliate, or any officer, director, partner, member, manager or employee of the Sponsor, or any Sponsor Affiliate, in connection with the application for or creation of the Obligations or any request for any action or consent by Freddie Mac, (2) any costs and expenses incurred by Freddie Mac in connection with the collection of any amount for which the Sponsor is personally liable under this Section, including fees and out of pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses and the costs of conducting any independent audit of the Sponsor’s and any Sponsor Affiliate’s books and records to determine the amount for which the Sponsor has personal liability; and (3) any Breach that is uncured by the Sponsor in the event the Sponsor does not fulfill its obligations under Section 2.4(c).  In addition, the Sponsor shall be personally liable to Freddie Mac for indemnification obligations under Section 3.12.


 


(c)           To the extent that the Sponsor has personal liability under this Section 9.11, Freddie Mac may exercise its rights against the Sponsor personally without regard to whether Freddie Mac has exercised any rights against the UCC Collateral or any other security or pursued any rights against any guarantor or pursued any other rights available to Freddie Mac under this Agreement, any other Sponsor Document or applicable law.


 


Section 9.12                      Consent of Freddie Mac.  Whenever Freddie Mac shall have any right or option to exercise any  discretion, to determine any matter, to accept any presentation or to approve any matter, such exercise, determination, acceptance or approval shall, unless otherwise specifically provided, be in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion.


 


Section 9.13                      Disclaimer; Acknowledgments.  Approval by Freddie Mac of the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, the Remarketing Agent, the Sponsor Documents, any Owner Documents, any Mortgaged Property, the Bonds, or otherwise shall not constitute a warranty or representation by Freddie Mac as to any matter.  Nothing set forth in this Agreement, in any of the other Sponsor Documents or in the subsequent conduct of the parties shall be deemed to constitute Freddie Mac as the partner or joint venturer of the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, or any Person for any purpose whatsoever.


 


Section 9.14                      Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Sponsor Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.  Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the Sponsor Documents.  Nothing in this Agreement or the Sponsor Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto and thereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the Sponsor Documents; provided, however, that as to Persons other than Freddie Mac and the Sponsor that are parties to any of the Sponsor Documents, such Persons shall not have any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any of the Sponsor Documents except under such Sponsor Documents to which such Persons are directly parties.

Section 9.15                      Survival of Representation and Warranties.  All statements contained in any Sponsor Document, or in any certificate, financial statement or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Sponsor pursuant to or in connection with this Agreement (including but not limited to any such statement made in or in connection with any amendment hereto or thereto) shall constitute representations and warranties made under this Agreement.  All representations and warranties made under this Agreement (a) shall be made and shall be true at and as of the Closing Date and (b) shall survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement, regardless of any investigation made by Freddie Mac or on its behalf.

IN ORDER TO INDUCE FREDDIE MAC TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER THE SERIES CERTIFICATE AGREEMENT, THE SPONSOR HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS NO CLAIMS, SET-OFFS OR DEFENSES AS OF THE CLOSING DATE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE OTHER SPONSOR DOCUMENTS.  TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH CLAIMS, SET-OFFS OR DEFENSES MAY EXIST, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, THEY ARE EACH HEREBY WAIVED AND RELINQUISHED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.
