FREDDIE MAC


 


MULTIFAMILY M CERTIFICATES


 


STANDARD TERMS OF THE


 


SERIES CERTIFICATE AGREEMENT


 


DATED AS OF JULY 1, 2014


 


The Multifamily M Certificates will represent undivided ownership interests in a pool of tax-exempt Bonds issued to finance multifamily affordable housing mortgages.  “Bonds” include municipal securities issued for such purpose as well as custodial receipts, trust receipts or any other similar instruments evidencing an ownership interest in municipal securities held in a pass-through arrangement.  Each offering of Multifamily M Certificates will be issued as a Series.  Each Series will be comprised of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates that have different specified rights in the related Series Pool (the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates, collectively, the “Certificates”).  Each Series Pool will be separate from each other Series Pool, and the Certificates of any Series will relate only to the assets of a single Series Pool.


 


Freddie Mac uses standard documentation and terms for the creation, issuance and sale of each Series of Certificates.  This documentation includes the Offering Circular and an Offering Circular Supplement for each Series and the Series Certificate Agreement.  The Series Certificate Agreement will incorporate the Standard Terms set forth below.  Freddie Mac will execute the Series Certificate Agreement in its corporate capacity and in its capacity as Administrator of the Series Pool.  In its corporate capacity, Freddie Mac will act as the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Pledge Custodian, the guarantor and the liquidity provider.  The Standard Terms provide that other entities may serve some of these functions (other than serving as guarantor or liquidity provider).


 


These Standard Terms will not be effective as to any Certificates until these Standard Terms are incorporated into a Series Certificate Agreement creating the related Series.  If a conflict arises between the provisions of a Series Certificate Agreement and these Standard Terms, the provisions of the Series Certificate Agreement will control.

DEFINITIONS, CERTAIN CALCULATIONS AND RULES OF CONSTRUCTION


 


Section 1.01                      Definitions.  Whenever used in these Standard Terms, capitalized terms will have the meaning for those terms provided in Appendix I to the Offering Circular, which appendix is attached as Exhibit A.


 


Section 1.02                      Certain Interest Calculations.  Unless provided otherwise, the computation of interest on any Certificate will be performed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during each Accrual Period.  However, if interest on any Bond is calculated as if each year consisted of twelve 30-day months, and if the computation of any Required Class A Certificate Interest Distribution Amount on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed would result in an amount in excess of the interest due on the related Bonds for the applicable period, then the Required Class A Certificate Interest Distribution Amount will be reduced by the amount of such excess.


 


Section 1.03                      Other Definitional Provisions.  All capitalized terms used in any certificate or other documents delivered pursuant to these Standard Terms and not otherwise defined in such documents will have the meanings assigned to such terms in these Standard Terms.


 


Section 1.04                      Rules of Construction.  Unless the context or use indicates a different meaning or intent, the following rules will apply to the construction of the Series Certificate Agreement:


 


(a)           Words in the singular will include the plural and vice versa.


 


(b)           The captions and headings of these Standard Terms are solely for convenience of reference and neither constitute a part of the Series Certificate Agreement nor affect its meaning.


 


(c)           All references to a particular time of day will be to Washington, D.C. time.


 


(d)           References to Sections, Articles, Schedules and Exhibits will be to Sections, Articles, Schedules and Exhibits of or to the Series Certificate Agreement unless a different document is specified.


 


(e)           Whenever an action is to be taken by Freddie Mac under the Series Certificate Agreement, unless such action is designated to be taken by Freddie Mac as Administrator, such action is to be taken by Freddie Mac in its corporate capacity.  If an action is to be taken by the Sponsor, it will be taken by the Person designated by Freddie Mac as Sponsor in the Series Certificate Agreement or, if undesignated, by Freddie Mac.

ARTICLE II


 


THE CERTIFICATES AND THE SERIES POOL







Section 2.01                      Classes of Certificates.  (a)  The Class A Certificates.  All Class A Certificates will be identical in all respects except for their designated number and denominations and will be issued in book-entry only form.  All Class A Certificates issued under the Series Certificate Agreement will be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of the Series Certificate Agreement without preference, priority or distinction, except as indicated in these Standard Terms and the Series Certificate Agreement with respect to Pledged Class A Certificates.  The Class A Certificates will be in substantially the form indicated in Exhibit B.


 


(b)           The Class B Certificates.  All Class B Certificates will be identical in all respects except for their designated number and denominations and will be issued and held in certificated form.  All Class B Certificates issued under the Series Certificate Agreement will be equally and proportionately entitled to the benefits of the Series Certificate Agreement without preference, priority or distinction.  The Class B Certificates will be in substantially the form indicated in Exhibit C.


 


Section 2.02                      Book-Entry Only for Class A Certificates.  (a)  Unless the book-entry system is terminated as provided in Section 2.02(b), this paragraph will override any other conflicting provisions of these Standard Terms, except in the case of provisions governing Pledged Class A Certificates.  All of the Class A Certificates will initially be registered in the name of Cede & Co., as nominee for DTC, provided that Cede & Co. may register the transfer of such Certificates to another nominee for DTC.  There will be one Global Class A Certificate, except as otherwise requested by DTC.  The procedures for making payments on the Class A Certificates and for giving any notice or other communication that is permitted or required to be given to Holders of Class A Certificates under these Standard Terms, will comply in all respects with DTC’s rules and operational arrangements, and, notwithstanding any other provisions in these Standard Terms, the Administrator and Freddie Mac agree to comply with all rules and operational arrangements of DTC, as such rules and operational arrangements change from time to time.  The exercise by Holders and Registered Holders of Class A Certificates of the Tender Option, mandatory tender rights, rights to retain Class A Certificates subject to mandatory tender, rights to convert Class B Certificates to Class A Certificates, the Optional Disposition Right and all other rights granted to such Holders or Registered Holders under the Series Certificate Agreement will be made in accordance with DTC’s rules and operational arrangements, as such rules and operational arrangements change from time to time.


 


(b)           If, pursuant to DTC’s rules and operating procedures, DTC gives notice to the Administrator, that DTC will discontinue providing its services as securities depository for the Class A Certificates or if Freddie Mac elects to terminate the services of DTC as securities depository with respect to the Class A Certificates, Freddie Mac will, in its sole discretion, either appoint a successor securities depository or terminate the book-entry system for the Class A Certificates.


 


(c)           Any successor securities depository must be a clearing agency registered with the Commission pursuant to Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act, and must enter into an agreement with Freddie Mac and the Administrator agreeing to act as the depository and clearing agency for all the Class A Certificates.  After any such agreement has become effective, DTC


 






  





2











  











will present all the Class A Certificates for registration of transfer in accordance with Section 2.05, and the Administrator will register them in the name of the successor securities depository or its nominee.  If a successor securities depository has not entered into such agreement or otherwise accepted such position at least 10 days before the effective date of termination of DTC’s services, the book-entry system will automatically terminate and may not be reinstated without the consent of all the Holders of the Class A Certificates.


 


(d)           If a successor securities depository is appointed, or the Administrator receives notice from Freddie Mac that the book-entry system has been terminated, the Administrator will, at least 10 days before such appointment or termination is effective, give notice of such event to the Registered Holders and will inform them either (i) of the name and address of the successor securities depository or (ii) that certificated Class A Certificates may now be obtained by Holders of the Class A Certificates, or their nominees, when proper instructions have been given to DTC by the relevant DTC Participant and when DTC has complied with the provisions of the Series Certificate Agreement regarding registration of transfers.


 


(e)           The Administrator and Freddie Mac may enter into an amendment to these book-entry terms to make those changes that are necessary or appropriate if the Class A Certificates will not be held by DTC or its nominee.


 


(f)           None of Freddie Mac, the Administrator or the Remarketing Agent will be liable to any Person, including any DTC Participant, Indirect DTC Participant or any Person claiming any interest in any Certificate under or through DTC, any DTC Participant or Indirect DTC Participant, for any action or failure to act or delay in action by DTC, any DTC Participant or Indirect DTC Participant.  In particular, none of Freddie Mac, the Administrator or the Remarketing Agent will have any obligation with respect to the accuracy of any records maintained by DTC, any DTC Participant or Indirect DTC Participants, the payment by such parties of any amount in respect of any Certificate, any notice or other communication that is permitted or required to be given to Holders or under these Standard Terms or which is permitted or required to be given under the Letter of Representations, the failure of DTC to effect any transfer, the selection by DTC, any DTC Participant or Indirect DTC Participant of any Person to receive payment in the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, or any consent given by DTC as Registered Holder.


 


(g)           Except as otherwise provided herein, so long as the Class A Certificates are registered in the name of DTC or its nominee, the Administrator may treat DTC or its nominee as, and deem DTC or its nominee to be, the sole and absolute owner of the Class A Certificates for all purposes whatsoever, including, without limitation, the payment of distributions to Holders of Class A Certificates, giving or receiving notices of redemption, tender and other matters with respect to the Class A Certificates and the selection of Class A Certificates for redemption or tender.


 


(h)           DTC shall be responsible for transmitting information and payments to its participants, who will be responsible for transmitting such information and payments to Indirect DTC Participants and the Holders.


 


(i)           Any requirements of surrender of Class A Certificates under these Standard Terms will be inapplicable if contrary to the rules and operational procedures of DTC, or if DTC

and the Administrator agree to waive them, and an appropriate notation will instead be made on the related Class A Certificates then in the possession of DTC or its nominee.


 


Section 2.03                      Denominations.  The Certificates will be issued in registered form in any Authorized Denomination.


 


Section 2.04                      Execution and Authentication; Persons Deemed Owners.  A Responsible Officer acting on behalf of the Administrator will execute and authenticate the Certificates by manual or facsimile signature.  The signature of an authorized Responsible Officer will bind the Administrator even if the Responsible Officer ceases to hold such office prior to the authentication and delivery of such Certificates or at the date of issuance of such Certificates.


 


Section 2.05                      Registration of Transfer and Exchange.  (a)  The Administrator will act as the initial Certificate Registrar for the purpose of registering Certificates and transfers and exchanges of Certificates as provided in these Standard Terms and in accordance with the standard procedures of the Administrator.  Upon any resignation of the Certificate Registrar, Freddie Mac will promptly appoint a successor Certificate Registrar or, in the absence of such appointment, assume the duties of Certificate Registrar.  The Certificate Registrar will appoint an office or agency in McLean, Virginia where the Certificates may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange, and presented for final payment, and where notice and demands to or upon the Certificate Registrar with respect to the Certificates may be served, which office will initially be the Delivery Office.


 


(b)           All Certificates issued in connection with any transfer or exchange will be entitled to the same benefits under the Series Certificate Agreement as the Certificates that were surrendered.


 


(c)           A Holder will not be required to pay a service charge for any transfer or exchange of Certificates, but may be required to pay a transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Certificates.  If any such tax or governmental charge is imposed but is not paid by the transferee or transferor, but is paid by the Administrator, the Administrator will have the right to be reimbursed the amount of such payment from the Bond Payment Subaccount, as described in Section 4.03.


 


(d)           If an exercise of the Tender Option or Optional Disposition Right occurs with respect to a portion, but not all, of a Class A Certificate, the Administrator will execute, authenticate and deliver to the applicable Class A Holder, in exchange for the surrendered Class A Certificate, one or more new Class A Certificates, in Authorized Denominations, having an aggregate Current Certificate Balance equal to the Current Certificate Balance of that portion of the surrendered Class A Certificate for which the Tender Option or Optional Disposition Right was not exercised.


 


(e)           The Sponsor may at any time deliver to the Administrator for cancellation any Certificates previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Sponsor may have acquired, and all Certificates so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Administrator.


 






  





4











  











Section 2.06                      Transfer Restrictions Related to Class B Certificates.  Without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac, no Class B Certificate may, in whole or in part, be sold, assigned, pledged, hypothecated or otherwise transferred (including any transfer of a beneficial interest) nor may any liens, security interests, options or other charges or encumbrances be granted with respect to the Class B Certificates.  Any transfer of the Class B Certificates will require the delivery to the Administrator of an Investor Letter by the Person acquiring an interest substantially in the form attached as Exhibit D.


 


Section 2.07                      Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost or Stolen Certificates.  (a)  If any mutilated Certificate is surrendered to the Certificate Registrar or the Administrator, the Administrator will execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange a new Certificate of the same type, and having the same Current Certificate Balance as the surrendered Certificate.  If a Holder of a destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate provides an affidavit to the Administrator of such occurrence and indemnity satisfactory to the Certificate Registrar or the Administrator, the Administrator will execute, authenticate and deliver in exchange a new Certificate of the same type, and having the same Current Certificate Balance as the destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate.  Every new Certificate issued pursuant to this paragraph in lieu of any mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate will be entitled to all the benefits of the Series Certificate Agreement equally and proportionately with any and all other Certificates properly issued under the Series Certificate Agreement, whether or not the mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificate is at any time enforceable by anyone.  The provisions of this paragraph are exclusive and will preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Certificates.


 


(b)           When any new Certificate is issued under this Section 2.07, the Certificate Registrar or the Administrator may require that the Holder pay any transfer tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in relation to the creation, issuance, transfer or registration of the new Certificate and any other reasonable related expenses (including the fees and expenses of the Certificate Registrar or the Administrator).  If any such amount is not paid by the transferee or transferor, but is paid by the Administrator, the Administrator will have the right to be reimbursed the amount of such payment from the Bond Payment Subaccount, as described in Section 4.03.


 


Section 2.08                      No Additional Liabilities or Indebtedness.  Unless a Series Certificate Agreement provides otherwise, none of the Administrator, the parties to the Series Certificate Agreement or the Holders of Certificates will cause the Series Pool to incur, assume or guarantee any liability or indebtedness.  The Administrator will have no power or authority to assign, transfer or pledge any of the Assets of any Series Pool to any Person or otherwise dispose of any Assets of any Series Pool, except as otherwise permitted or required by the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Section 2.09                      Initial Authentication and Delivery of Certificates.  The initial Certificates will be executed, authenticated and delivered by the Administrator only after Freddie Mac executes the Series Certificate Agreement and thereby directs the execution, authentication and delivery of the Certificates.  The Series Certificate Agreement will identify the Persons in whose names the Class A Certificates are to be registered, the Current Certificate Balances to be registered to each such Person, and also state that the Class B Certificates are to be registered in the name of the Sponsor, but only after each of the following is delivered or has occurred:


 






  





5











  











(1)           The Bonds.  The Bonds have been acquired by Freddie Mac and transferred to the Series Pool created by the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(2)           Initial Deposits.  The initial deposit of cash required by the Series Certificate Agreement, if applicable, has been deposited in the Distribution Account.


 


(3)           Opinion of Counsel.  An Opinion of Tax Counsel, dated the Date of Original Issue, with respect to certain tax matters and an opinion of the General Counsel or one of the Deputy General Counsels to Freddie Mac dated the Date of Original Issue with respect to the status of the Certificates as exempt securities within the meaning of the laws administered by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, and certain other matters pertaining to the authorization and enforceability of the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(4)           Reimbursement Agreement.  The original executed Reimbursement Agreement has been delivered to the Administrator.


 


(5)           Sponsor’s Acceptance.  If the Sponsor is designated by Freddie Mac in the Series Certificate Agreement, an acceptance by the Sponsor of its obligations set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(6)           Rating Letters.  To the extent receipt of a rating letter is a condition to the issuance of any Certificates as provided in the Series Certificate Agreement, a favorable letter from the Rating Agency.


 


Section 2.10                      Identification of the Assets to a Series Pool. (a)  Freddie Mac acknowledges its ownership of the Bonds on the Date of Original Issue.  By its execution of the Series Certificate Agreement, Freddie Mac will simultaneously transfer the Bonds to the  Series Pool created by the Series Certificate Agreement for the benefit of the Holders of the related Certificates, together with all of its interest in (a) the Bonds, including all Bond Payments made from and after the Date of Original Issue and all certificates and instruments, if any, representing the Bonds, (b) the Distribution Account and (c) all proceeds of the Bonds and the Distribution Account of every kind and nature.


 


(b)           Freddie Mac will segregate the Assets of each Series Pool from all of its general assets and from any other bonds in its possession, and will hold the Assets of each Series Pool at all times during the existence of the Series Pool for the benefit of the related Holders.  The Holders of the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates will have the respective rights with respect to the Assets specified for each Class as set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Section 2.11                      Delivery and Possession of Bonds.  The Bonds identified to a Series Pool will not be subject to any Lien in favor of the Administrator (provided, Freddie Mac in its corporate capacity will be the beneficiary of the pledge of the Class B Certificates and any Pledged Class A Certificates).


 






  





6











  











Section 2.12                      Purposes and Powers.  The Series Pool has been formed for the sole purpose of, and will engage only in the following activities:  (a) acquiring, owning, holding and selling the Assets of the Series Pool; (b) issuing and selling Certificates as provided in the Series Certificate Agreement; and (c) such other activities as may be required by the express terms of the Series Certificate Agreement in connection with the conservation and administration of the Assets of the Series Pool and distributions to Holders.


 


Section 2.13                      Recharacterization.  The parties intend that the transfer of the Assets to the Series Pool will be an acquisition by the Administrator on behalf of the Holders of all of Freddie Mac’s interest in the Series Pool Assets.  The parties do not intend that such transfer be deemed a pledge of the Series Pool Assets by Freddie Mac to secure a debt or other obligation of Freddie Mac.  However, if, in spite of the parties’ intent, the Series Pool Assets are held by a court to continue to be the property of Freddie Mac (a) the Series Certificate Agreement will be deemed a security agreement within the meaning of the applicable UCC, and may be properly filed as a financing statement and (b) the transfer of the Series Pool Assets will be deemed a Grant by Freddie Mac to the Administrator of an interest in all of Freddie Mac’s interest in the Series Pool Assets, and all amounts payable to the holders of the Series Pool Assets in accordance with the terms of the Series Certificate Agreement, and all related proceeds.  Any assignment of the interests of the Holders of the Certificates pursuant to any provision of the Series Certificate Agreement will also be deemed to be an assignment of any security interest created by this recharacterization provision.  The Administrator will cause to be filed UCC financing statements on a periodic basis as necessary to maintain a security interest in the Series Pool Assets in favor of the Administrator in the event of any such recharacterization.


 


Section 2.14                      Decrease of Aggregate Outstanding Class B Certificate Balance.  On any day that is (A)(i) a Reset Date for the applicable Reset Rate Method or (ii) a Business Day with the prior written consent of 100% of the Holders of Class A Certificates and (B) at least 10 Business Days following the delivery of notice of the below conversion to the Registered Holders, with the prior written consent of Freddie Mac, the Sponsor, if a Holder of Class B Certificates, acting alone or all of the Holders of Class B Certificates acting together, may direct the Administrator to convert a specified Current Certificate Balance of Class B Certificates to an equivalent Current Certificate Balance of Class A Certificates.  If the Sponsor is the directing Holder alone, the Current Certificate Balance of Class B Certificates to be converted may be equal to or less than the Current Certificate Balance that it holds, subject to maintaining a minimum Current Certificate Balance of Class B Certificates of $5,000.  If all Holders of Class B Certificates make such direction, the Current Certificate Balance of Class B Certificates to be converted for each such Holder will be proportional to each Holder’s Current Certificate Balance of Class B Certificates prior to conversion, subject to the Sponsor’s maintaining a minimum Current Certificate Balance of Class B Certificates of $5,000.  Any such conversion will be effected by delivering to the Administrator (A) at least 15 Business Days prior to the date on which such conversion is to occur (i) a written request to increase the Current Certificate Balance of such Class A Certificates, and (ii) the written consent of Freddie Mac, and (B) on the date of the conversion, an equivalent Current Certificate Balance of Class B Certificates.  The Administrator will promptly notify Freddie Mac and DTC of the resulting reduction in the Aggregate Outstanding Class B Certificate Balance and the corresponding increase in the Aggregate Outstanding Class A Certificate Balance, and the Liquidity Commitment will be increased accordingly.

Section 3.01                      Negative Covenants.  The Sponsor will not:


 


(i)           sell, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or Grant a Lien on, any Series Pool Assets; or


 


(ii)           claim any credit or deduction with respect to the principal or interest payable on the Certificates or pursuant to the Credit Enhancement or the Liquidity Facility (other than amounts properly withheld from such payments under the Code or other applicable tax law) on its federal, state or local income tax filings.


 


Section 3.02                      Other Obligations.  Subject to Section 3.05, the Sponsor accepts all of its obligations under each of the Documents and will comply in all material respects with any obligations that are imposed on the Sponsor pursuant to any of such Documents, whether or not explicitly set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Section 3.03                      Maintenance of Office or Agency.  The Sponsor will maintain an office where notices to the Sponsor in connection with the Certificates and the Series Certificate Agreement may be served.  The Sponsor will give prompt written notice to Freddie Mac, the Administrator and the Remarketing Agent of any change in the location of any notice office.


 


Section 3.04                      Payment of Certain Fees and Expenses.  The Series Certificate Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement will provide for the payment to Freddie Mac of the Freddie Mac Fee.  The Sponsor also agrees:


 


(a)           except as otherwise expressly provided in the Series Certificate Agreement, to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Administrator (if different than Freddie Mac) the Administrator Fee; to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Remarketing Agent the Remarketing Agent Fee (each to the extent not paid from funds received by the Series Pool); and to pay, or cause to be paid, to the Initial Purchaser any amounts owed to the Initial Purchaser pursuant to the Remarketing Agreement in connection with issuing and selling the Class A Certificates and preparing all related offering documents;


 


(b)           except as otherwise expressly provided in the Series Certificate Agreement or the last paragraph of Section 3.5 of the Reimbursement Agreement, to reimburse or cause reimbursement of the Administrator for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, disbursements and advances incurred or made by it in accordance with the Series Certificate Agreement (including the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of its respective agents and counsel), except any such expense, disbursement or advance as may be attributable to its gross negligence, bad faith, fraud or willful misconduct; and


 


(c)           to pay any amounts required to be paid by it pursuant to the Documents.


 


The provisions of this Section 3.04 will survive any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement.


 






  





8











  











Section 3.05                      Liabilities and Recourse Against Freddie Mac and the Sponsor for Liabilities of the Series Pool.  (a)  The Sponsor will perform only those duties of it that are specifically set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement, and does not assume any other obligation or liability under the Series Certificate Agreement.  If the Series Certificate Agreement provides that the Partnership Factors apply to the Series Pool, the Sponsor will be corporately liable for any fees, expenses and other liabilities of the Series Pool arising under the Series Certificate Agreement to the extent not otherwise satisfied (excluding amounts due to Holders in respect of their Certificates).  Except to the extent payable from the cash flow of the Bonds or by the Holders of Class B Certificates, the Sponsor agrees that any such fees, expenses and other liabilities will be without recourse against any other Holder, and that any such fees, expenses and liabilities will not be secured by the Bonds or any other Asset of the Series Pool.


 


(b)           Subject to any credit enhancement with respect to any Bonds, the Issuer of each Bond is the sole obligor with respect to the payment of the principal or redemption price of such Bond, and interest on the Bond.  The payments on the Bonds, amounts in the Distribution Account, the Credit Enhancement and the Liquidity Facility constitute the sole security for the Certificates.  Each of the Sponsor and Freddie Mac has no obligation whatsoever with respect to any Bond or any payments due on the Bonds or with respect to the security for, or the sufficiency of, any such payments or any obligations of the Issuer, any related credit enhancer or any other Person arising in connection with the Bonds, other than the obligations of Freddie Mac under the Credit Enhancement and the Liquidity Facility.  In the event of a default in the payment of the principal of or interest on, or any other amount payable with respect to, any of the Bonds, or in the event of a default under any credit enhancement with respect to such Bond, neither the Sponsor nor Freddie Mac will have any duty to proceed against the Issuer or any related credit enhancer and no obligation to assert any rights and privileges of the Holders with respect to such Bonds or such credit enhancement.  Neither the Sponsor nor Freddie Mac will be under any obligation whatsoever to appear in, prosecute or defend any action, suit or other proceeding in respect of such Bonds or such credit enhancement; provided the Administrator may in its sole discretion and upon being provided with indemnification satisfactory to it agree to proceed against any such party at the written direction of the Registered Holders of at least 51% of the Current Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates.


 


(c)           Payment of the Purchase Price on any Class A Certificate will be made solely from amounts received by the Administrator pursuant to Section 6.06.


 


(d)           The provisions of this Section 3.05 will survive any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(e)           Without limiting the foregoing, it is expressly acknowledged and agreed by the parties to the Series Certificate Agreement and other Documents, and any beneficiary of the Series Certificate Agreement by acceptance of its status as such beneficiary, and by Holders upon acceptance of a Certificate, and anyone having a beneficial interest in the Certificates by acceptance of its status as such beneficiary, that:


 


(i)           Under no condition or circumstance will any recourse or personal liability whatever attach to or be incurred by, and under no condition or circumstance will any deficiency or other judgment be had against, the officers, directors, agents, employees or stockholders of the Sponsor or Freddie Mac, by reason of any obligation, covenant,


 






  





9











  











agreement, representation, warranty or indemnity of the Sponsor or Freddie Mac under the Series Certificate Agreement, any Certificates or any document, instrument or certificate delivered hereunder or thereunder; and


 


(ii)           They expressly waive recourse against, or personal liability of, any officer, director, agent, employee or stockholder of the Sponsor or Freddie Mac for breaches by Sponsor or Freddie Mac of any such obligation, covenant, agreement, representation, warranty or indemnity either at common law or at equity, or by statute or constitution; and


 


(iii)           The permissive right of the Sponsor or Freddie Mac to take actions set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement will not be construed as a duty, and neither the Sponsor nor Freddie Mac will be answerable for other than its own fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Each of the Sponsor and Freddie Mac will not be liable for any action that it takes or omits to take in good faith (including, but not limited to any action it takes or omits to take as Tax Matters Partner pursuant to Section 11.10) and, in the absence of fraud, bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct, that it believes to be authorized or within its rights or powers.


 


(f)           Each Registered Holder and Holder (by acceptance of its Certificate), each party to the Series Certificate Agreement (by its execution of the Series Certificate Agreement), and any other beneficiary of the Series Certificate Agreement (by its acceptance of its status as such a beneficiary), expressly acknowledges and agrees to each and every provision of this Section 3.05.


 






  





10











  











Section 3.06                      The Sponsor’s Interest and Net Worth.  The Sponsor represents, warrants and covenants that it (a) has and will maintain throughout the term of the Series Certificate Agreement a Capital Account Balance in an amount not less than the Minimum Sponsor Interest and, if the Series Certificate Agreement provides that the Partnership Factors will apply to the Series Pool, a net worth as determined in compliance with Section 4.07 of Revenue Procedure 89-12; and (b) will not take a distribution of any amount from the Assets of the Series Pool (other than in connection with the termination of the Series Pool) if such distribution would result in a Capital Account Balance with respect to its interest in the Series Pool less than the Minimum Sponsor Interest.  These representations, warranties and covenants will survive the delivery of the related Bonds and the Certificates.


 


Section 3.07                      Successor Sponsor.  If a party other than Freddie Mac is the Sponsor and the Sponsor wishes to assign its rights and obligations under the Series Certificate Agreement to another Person and Freddie Mac provides its prior written consent, the Sponsor will provide notice to the Administrator, the Remarketing Agent and each applicable Rating Agency, together with the written consent of Freddie Mac, at least 10 Business Days prior to the proposed effective date of such assignment.  Such notice (a “Successor Sponsor Notice”) will set forth (A) a brief statement that the Sponsor is assigning its rights and obligations hereunder to the successor Sponsor named therein, (B) the proposed effective date of such assignment and (C) the Mandatory Tender Date on which the Class A Certificates will be subject to Mandatory Tender pursuant to Section 6.04 (subject to the right of retention), which day shall be the Business Day before the effective date of the assignment.  When the Administrator has received the Successor Sponsor Notice, unless Freddie Mac consents, the assignment of the Sponsor to its successor will be irrevocable and will take place on the proposed date set forth in the Successor Sponsor Notice.


 


Section 3.08                      Release Event.  At the election of Freddie Mac, in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement, when a Release Event occurs, the affected series of Bonds (or portion thereof) will be subject to mandatory purchase from the Series Pool at the Release Purchase Price.  Payment of such Release Purchase Price will be made by Freddie Mac pursuant to the Credit Enhancement or by the Sponsor.  Any Bond purchased on the related Release Event Date will be deemed purchased by the Sponsor at the Release Purchase Price from funds provided pursuant to the Credit Enhancement or, if applicable, by the Sponsor.  In addition, Hypothetical Gain Share, if any, as calculated by Freddie Mac, will be payable on the Release Event Date from amounts provided by the Sponsor to the Administrator on such Release Event Date (and such Hypothetical Gain Share will be paid to the Class A Certificateholders in addition to the Release Purchase Price).  When purchased with monies provided pursuant to the Credit Enhancement, the Administrator will cause the transfer of the related Bonds to the Pledge Custodian to be held pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement.  When purchased with funds provided by the Sponsor, the Administrator will cause the transfer and release of the related Bonds to the Sponsor or as directed by the Sponsor.


 


When the Administrator receives amounts paid by Freddie Mac or the Sponsor in connection with a Release Event, the Administrator will promptly deposit an amount equal to the related Outstanding Bond Balance plus Hypothetical Gain Share, if applicable, into the Bond Payment Subaccount-Principal and an amount equal to accrued interest thereon into the Bond Payment Subaccount-Interest.  The Administrator will provide notice of any Release Event to the Registered Holders, each applicable Rating Agency and the Remarketing Agent concurrently


 






  





11











  











with the applicable Release Event Date, provided any failure to provide such notice shall not affect the validity of any payment made pursuant to this Section.


 


In addition to the foregoing notice, with respect to a Release Event occurring as a result of the Sponsor’s delivery of notice to the Administrator that it has elected to purchase all of the Bonds in the Series Pool on either July 15, 2019 or July 15, 2024 (either a “Optional Series Termination Date”), the Administrator, following receipt of such notice from the Sponsor, shall provide written notice to the Registered Holders of such Release Event not less than twenty (20) days prior to the Optional Series Termination Date, which notice will set forth (A) a brief statement that the Sponsor has elected to cause a Release Event of all of the Bonds on the Optional Series Termination Date, (B) that the Release Event is conditioned upon the Sponsor depositing at least five (5) Business Days prior to the Optional Series Termination Date funds sufficient to pay in full the Release Purchase Price and Hypothetical Gain Share, if any, due on the Optional Series Termination Date, and any additional amounts owed by the Sponsor to Freddie Mac (or making escrow arrangements acceptable to Freddie Mac with respect to the same) and (C) that if such conditions are not satisfied, such Release Event shall not occur.


 


Section 3.09                      Sponsor’s Indemnification of the Administrator.  The Sponsor will indemnify and hold harmless the Administrator from and against any loss, liability, expense, damage or injury suffered or sustained by reason of any acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions arising out of the activities of the Sponsor pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement, including but not limited to, any judgment, award, settlement (to which the Sponsor has given its prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld), reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Sponsor will not indemnify the Administrator if such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute fraud, gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct by the Administrator.  This Section 3.09 will survive (i) the resignation or removal of the Administrator, (ii) the termination of the Series Certificate Agreement and (iii) the transfer by the Sponsor of any portion of its Certificates with respect to obligations incurred by the Sponsor under this Section 3.09 prior to such transfer.


 


Section 3.10                      Substitution of Bonds After Date of Original Issue.


 


(a)           On any Payment Date after the Date of Original Issue (a “Substitution Date”), with the Required Class B Certificate Consent and the consent of Freddie Mac and subject to the prior delivery to the Administrator of a confirmation of the existing rating on the Class A Certificates from each applicable Rating Agency, the Sponsor may deliver to the Administrator a new series of Bonds in substitution for an existing series of Bonds with respect to which an event of default exists under the related Bond Documents (or in the case of the existing Bonds relating to the Arbors of Hickory Ridge Apartments, Copper Gate Apartments, Greens of Pine Glen Apartments and The Palms at Premier Park Apartments Mortgaged Projects, also in the event of a sale of no more than two of the related Projects to a party not related to the Sponsor).  Any series of Bonds delivered in substitution for an existing series of Bonds must have terms consistent with the series of Bonds being released, including principal amount (which must be equal to or less than the principal amount of Bonds being released), tax status, interest rate, interest payment date and interest modes.  If such principal amount is less, the Sponsor must, prior to the substitution, provide funds to the Administrator in an amount sufficient to effect a


 






  





12











  











Release Event with respect to the principal portion of the Bonds being released that is in excess of the principal amount of Bonds being substituted.  In addition, upon any Substitution, the Sponsor must pay Hypothetical Gain Share, if any, as calculated by Freddie Mac, with respect to the total principal amount of Bonds being released.  Such Hypothetical Gain Share will be paid to the Class A Certificateholders in addition to any applicable Release Purchase Price.


 


(b)           The Sponsor shall, at least 10 days prior to each Substitution Date, submit a notice (a “Substitution Notice”) to the Administrator and the Remarketing Agent, which notice shall be accompanied by copies of the consents and rating confirmation (if applicable) referenced in Section 3.10(a) above and shall set forth the following:


 


(i)           the series of Bonds to be released upon substitution;


 


(ii)           with respect to the series of Bonds to be substituted, the items of information set forth on Schedule 1 of the Series Certificate Agreement;


 


(iii)           the Substitution Date;


 


(iv)           if applicable, the amount being paid by the Sponsor to effect a related Release Event and the Hypothetical Gain Share; and


 


(v)           instructions to the Administrator to effect the substitution on the Substitution Date.


 


(c)           Within five Business Days of its receipt thereof (and only if the Administrator has received the amount necessary to effect any related Release Event and the Hypothetical Gain Share, if applicable), the Administrator will forward a copy of the Substitution Notice to the Registered Holders and each applicable Rating Agency.


 


(d)           On the Substitution Date, the Administrator shall effect the substitution if the aforementioned requirements have been satisfied.  In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Series Certificate Agreement contains a representation that the Bonds were neither deposited with nor acquired with market discount in excess of a de minimis amount within the meaning of Section 1278(a)(2)(C) of the Code determined as of the Date of Original Issue, the same requirement shall apply to the substitution.

ARTICLE IV


 


ACCOUNTS AND DISBURSEMENTS; CREDIT ENHANCEMENT


 







Section 4.01                      Collection of Money.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Series Certificate Agreement, the Administrator will demand payment or delivery of, and will directly receive and collect all money and other property payable to the Administrator pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement, and will hold such money and property as part of the Assets of the Series Pool.


 


Section 4.02                      Distribution Account; Establishment.  (a)  On or before the Date of Original Issue, the Administrator will establish the Distribution Account into which the Administrator will deposit all Bond Payments received from time to time, including Bond Redemption Premiums, all amounts paid pursuant to the Credit Enhancement, all amounts paid in connection with a Release Event, all Administrator Advances and all Bankruptcy Coverage Payments.  The Distribution Account will have the following subaccounts:  (i) the Bond Payment Subaccount – Interest; (ii) the Bond Payment Subaccount – Principal; (iii) the Bond Payment Subaccount – Holdback; and (iv) the Odd-Lot Subaccount.


 


(b)           The Administrator will deposit into the Bond Payment Subaccount--Interest or Bond Payment Subaccount--Principal, as applicable, promptly upon receipt, Bond Payments in respect of each Bond Interest Payment Date or Bond Redemption Date, as applicable, Bond Payments in connection with any Release Event and any Bankruptcy Coverage Payments.  The Administrator will also deposit into the Bond Payment Account--Interest any Administrator Advances it makes pursuant to Section 4.09.  Prior to any Bond Interest Payment Date or Bond Redemption Date, as applicable, the Administrator will notify Freddie Mac of the amounts of each Bond Payment anticipated on such date.  In connection with any Payment Date, the Administrator will notify Freddie Mac as soon as practicable by Electronic Notice of any amounts not received by the Administrator for such Payment Date corresponding to scheduled interest on and principal of the Bonds.  If the Administrator receives any Bond Redemption Premium, it will promptly deposit it into the Bond Payment Subaccount – Principal.  The Administrator will deposit into the Odd-Lot Subaccount the amounts required by Section 4.03(f).


 


(c)           The Administrator will hold all sums under the Series Certificate Agreement for the payment of amounts due with respect to the Certificates separate and apart from its other assets for the benefit of the Persons entitled thereto.


 


(d)           Upon receipt by the Administrator of any Bankruptcy Coverage Payments, the Administrator will promptly remit such monies to present and former Holders to the extent they are entitled thereto.


 


(e)           In addition to the Distribution Account the Administrator may establish other accounts under the Series Certificate Agreement in order to carry out its duties.


 


(f)           Amounts on deposit in the Distribution Account may be invested by the Administrator at the direction of Freddie Mac, and any investment earnings will be retained by Freddie Mac.  Any such investment earnings will not constitute part of the Series Pool Assets and will at all times be accounted for separately and held segregated from and outside of the Distribution Account.  If any loss from such investment occurs, Freddie Mac will be obligated to


 






  





14











  













reimburse the Administrator for any such loss at the time it occurs.  The Administrator will use any such reimbursement amount to replenish the Distribution Account.


 


Section 4.03                      Distributions and Payments from Bond Payment Subaccounts.  (a)  No later than 4:30 p.m. on each Payment Date, the Administrator will withdraw from the Bond Payment Subaccount--Interest and the Bond Payment Subaccount--Holdback the Available Funds deposited into each such subaccount and will distribute or retain, as applicable, the following amounts in the following priority, in each case to the extent of remaining Available Funds:


 


(i)           first, pro rata to


 


(A)           the Registered Holders of Class A Certificates (other than Pledged Class A Certificates), the aggregate of the amounts of interest accrued, for each day in the Accrual Period related to that Payment Date at the Reset Rate in effect for each such day, on the Current Certificate Balance of such Certificates; and


 


(B)           the Pledge Custodian with respect to Pledged Class A Certificates, the aggregate of the amounts of interest accrued, for each day in the Accrual Period related to such Payment Date at the Reset Rate in effect for each such day, on the Current Certificate Balance of such Pledged Class A Certificates;


 


provided that on the First Payment Date, before making the foregoing distributions, the Administrator will transfer to the Person designated by the Sponsor the amount, if any, set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement as Accrued Interest on the Bonds;


 


(ii)           second, to the Administrator, the amount of the Administrator Fee (if the Administrator is not Freddie Mac), the aggregate accrued Daily Administrator Advance Charges unpaid on such date (if Section 4.09 is made applicable under the Series Certificate Agreement) and all other reasonable amounts payable to the Administrator upon the issuance of a new Certificate pursuant to Section 2.05 or Section 2.07 or as reimbursement for its out-of-pocket expenses;


 


(iii)           third, to the Administrator (if Section 4.09 is made applicable under the Series Certificate Agreement), the amount of any outstanding Administrator Advances previously made to Holders of Class A Certificates as of such Payment Date;


 


(iv)           fourth, to Freddie Mac, the amount of the Freddie Mac Fee due and payable on such date;


 


(v)           fifth, if provided for in the Series Certificate Agreement, pro rata, to the Holders of Class A Certificates, their Class A Certificate Notional Accelerated Principal Paydown Amounts, if any;


 


(vi)           sixth, to the Remarketing Agent, the amount of the Remarketing Agent Fee due and payable on such date;


 






  





15











  













(vii)           seventh, to the Pledge Custodian, the amount required to be deposited in the Cap Fee Escrow (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) on such date;


 


(viii)           eighth, to the Servicer, the amount of the Servicing Fee due and payable on such date;


 


(ix)           ninth, to the Bond Payment Subaccount—Holdback, the amount necessary to fully fund the Holdback Requirement, if applicable, as of such Payment Date;


 


(x)           tenth, to Freddie Mac the amount of any Advances (as defined in the Reimbursement Agreement) previously made by Freddie Mac as of such Payment Date and all other amounts then payable pursuant to the Reimbursement Agreement; and


 


(xi)           eleventh, to the Holders of Class B Certificates, any remainder.


 


(b)           No later than 4:30 p.m. on each Redemption Date, the Administrator will withdraw from the Bond Payment Subaccount -- Principal the Available Funds deposited into that subaccount and will distribute the following amounts in the following priority, in each case to the extent of remaining Available Funds:


 


(i)           first, pro rata to (A) the Pledge Custodian, to pay the Outstanding Certificate Balance of Pledged Class A Certificates and (B) the Registered Holders of Class A Certificates, the sum of:  (1) the remaining Available Funds (other than funds in respect of any Redemption Premium Payment or any Hypothetical Gain Share payable in connection with a Release Event) until the Aggregate Outstanding Class A Certificate Balance is reduced to zero; and (2) the Class A Holder’s allocable share of the respective portion of the Redemption Premium Payment, if any, payable to Holders, determined in accordance with the definition of Gain Share or, in connection with a payment arising from a Release Event, the Class A Holder’s allocable share of the Hypothetical Gain Share; provided that, if Freddie Mac makes a principal payment in connection with a Release Event, the portion of such principal payment to be paid pro rata to the Pledge Custodian with respect to the Pledged Class A Certificates and to the Registered Holders of Class A Certificates will be determined using the following formula:


 


Amount to be paid = X + Y


where X = (60%)(A + B) minus B


and Y = A minus (X + C minus D + E) [BUT Y WILL NEVER BE LESS


THAN ZERO]


 


and where:


 



	
  

	
A =

	
the principal amount paid by Freddie Mac related to the applicable tax-exempt Bonds subject to a Release Event








	
  

	
B =

	
the outstanding principal amount of taxable bonds that financed the same Project as the applicable Bonds








	
  

	
C =

	
the Current Class B Certificate Balance











  





16











  














	
  

	
D =

	
the Minimum Sponsor Interest ($5,000 where Partnership Factors have not been elected)








	
  

	
E =

	
prior distributions of principal other than to Holders of Class A Certificates (including Pledged Class A Certificates) or Holders of Class B Certificates to pay amounts described in Subsection 4.03(b)(ii) below;1







 


(ii)           second, to the Administrator, Freddie Mac, the Remarketing Agent, the Pledge Custodian and the Servicer, amounts owed to such parties pursuant to Subsections 4.03(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (vi), (vii), (viii) and (x) in the same order of priority to the extent any such amounts were not paid pursuant to such subsections;


 


(iii)           third, (subject to the provisions of Section 4.03(c) and the agreement of the Sponsor to maintain a Minimum Sponsor Interest), to the Holders of Class B Certificates, any remainder.


 









  


	
  

	
1 Example 1:







Assumptions:



	
  

	
1.

	
Outstanding Bond Balance of applicable Bonds:  $9,000,000








	
  

	
2.

	
Outstanding principal amount of related taxable bonds:  $1,000,000








	
  

	
3.

	
Current Class B Certificate Balance:  $20,000,000








	
  

	
4.

	
Partnership Factors have not been elected








	
  

	
5.

	
No prior distributions of principal other than to Holders of Class A Certificates (including Pledged Class A Certificates), and Class B Certificates have been made.







 


X =          (60%)($9,000,000 + $1,000,000) minus $1,000,000


X =          (60%)($10,000,000) minus $1,000,000


X =         $6,000,000 minus $1,000,000


X =         $5,000,000


 


Y =         $9,000,000 minus ($5,000,000 + ($20,000,000 minus ($5,000 + $0)))


Y =         $9,000,000 minus ($5,000,000 + ($20,000,000 minus $5,000))


Y =         $9,000,000 minus $24,995,000


Y is less than zero, so (Y) equals zero


 


Because X + Y = $5,000,000, $5,000,000 is the amount of principal paid pro rata against the Pledged Class A Certificates and Class A Certificates and $4,000,000 is paid against the Class B Certificates.  Pledged Class A Certificates and Class A Certificates are redeemed pro rata in the amount of $5,000,000 and Class B Certificates are redeemed in the amount of $4,000,000.  Redemption payments made on the Pledged Class A Certificates are paid to the Pledge Custodian; redemption payments made on the Class A Certificates are paid to the Registered Holders of Class A Certificates.  Redemption payments made on the Class B Certificates are paid to the Pledge Custodian.


 


  Example 2:



	
  

	
Assumptions:

	
1.

	
Same assumptions, with the only difference being that the Current Class B Balance is $2,000,000.







 


X = $5,000,000


Y = $9,000,000 minus ($5,000,000 + ($2,000,000 minus ($5,000 + $0)))


Y = $9,000,000 minus ($5,000,000 + $1,995,000)


Y = $9,000,000 minus $6,995,000


Y = $2,005,000







Because X + Y = $7,005,000, $7,005,000 is the amount of principal paid pro rata against the Pledged Class A Certificates and the Class A Certificates and $1,995,000 is principal paid against the Class B Certificates.








  





17











  













(c)           All distributions made to Holders described above on each Payment Date will be made to the Registered Holders of the Certificates of record on the related Regular Record Date, based on the Current Certificate Balances of their respective Certificates; provided, however, that the final payment on each Certificate will be made only in accordance with payments to be made on a termination of the Series Pool pursuant to Article XIII.  Subject to Section 2.02(b), each distribution with respect to Class A Certificates or Pledged Class A Certificates will be paid to DTC for distribution to DTC Participants, Indirect Participants and Holders in accordance with the Letter of Representations and the rules and regulations of DTC.  Each distribution with respect to Class B Certificates will be paid to the Holders of the Class B Certificates.


 


(d)           If a payment error occurs, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may elect to correct the error by adjusting payments to be made on later Payment Dates or in any other manner as it deems appropriate.


 


(e)           Any provision of this Article IV notwithstanding, redemptions of Class A Certificates shall only be made in Permitted Increments.  In the event of a partial redemption of Class A Certificates, the particular Class A Certificates to be redeemed shall be Selected by Lot.


 


(f)           Any amounts not permitted to be distributed on any Redemption Date pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(i) as a result of subsection (e) above, shall be retained and held by the Administrator in the Odd-Lot Subaccount.


 


On the Date of Original Issue, the Sponsor shall cause to be deposited into the Odd-Lot Subaccount the initial amount specified in the Series Certificate Agreement.  On the first Redemption Date, the Administrator shall withdraw from the Odd-Lot Subaccount any funds needed to round the amount to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(i) to a Permitted Increment and pay the rounded amount on the Class A Certificates.  On the next Redemption Date, the Administrator will apply Available Funds under Section 4.03(b) first to repay any amount withdrawn from the Odd-Lot Subaccount on the previous Redemption Date.  The Administrator shall then round the remainder of the amount to be distributed pursuant to Section 4.03(b)(i) to a Permitted Increment by making another withdrawal from the Odd-Lot Subaccount, and shall pay this amount on the Class A Certificates.  This process shall continue on each following Redemption Date until the Class A Certificates have been retired.


 


Section 4.04                      Administrator May Appoint Paying Agents.  The Administrator may appoint one or more Paying Agents to perform the obligations of the Administrator under Section 4.03.  Each such Paying Agent will execute and deliver to Freddie Mac an instrument in which such Paying Agent agrees with Freddie Mac to comply with all obligations and covenants imposed on Paying Agents by the Series Certificate Agreement and by such instrument.  If appointed, a Paying Agent will provide notices to Freddie Mac pursuant to Section 6.06(a)(v) in connection with payments pursuant to the Liquidity Facility.

Section 4.05                      General Provisions Regarding Accounts.  The Distribution Account and its related subaccounts will relate solely to the Certificates and to the Series Pool Assets, and funds in the Distribution Account and related subaccounts will not be commingled with any other funds.


 


Section 4.06                      Pledged Class A Certificates.  (a)  The Administrator will not obtain separate CUSIP identification numbers for Pledged Class A Certificates unless required by DTC.  The Administrator will take any reasonable action requested by Freddie Mac in order to perfect or otherwise safeguard its security interest in the Pledged Class A Certificates, including arranging for such pledge to be noted in the records of DTC Participants.


 


(b)           The Tender Option will not be effective with respect to any Pledged Class A Certificate, nor will any Pledged Class A Certificate be subject to Mandatory Tender on any Mandatory Tender Date.


 


(c)           If the Class A Certificates are ever withdrawn from a book-entry system with DTC or another depository, when a Certificate becomes a Pledged Class A Certificate, the Administrator will exchange such Certificate for one or more new Certificates representing, separately, Pledged Class A Certificates and Certificates that do not constitute Pledged Class A Certificates.


 


Section 4.07                      Reports to Holders.  (a)  Each month, not later than the second Business Day prior to the Payment Date for that month, Freddie Mac will post on its Internet web-site the following information regarding the Class A Certificates:


 


(i)           the related Payment Date for such monthly report;


 


(ii)           the Class Factor for the Class A Certificates; and


 


(iii)           the weighted average of the Reset Rate for the preceding monthly period.


 


If the Class A Certificates are to be redeemed in full on a Redemption Date, a notice as required by Section 13.02(a) will also be delivered by the Administrator.


 


(b)           Any failure by the Administrator to post the information or provide the notice described in Section 4.07(a) above, will not impair or affect the validity of the redemption of any other Certificate.


 


Section 4.08                      Reductions of the Aggregate Outstanding Amounts.  When any Certificates are transferred to the Administrator for cancellation, the Administrator will cancel those Certificates, and following such cancellation, the Aggregate Outstanding Certificate Balance will be reduced by the Current Certificate Balance of the canceled Certificates.

Section 4.09                      Administrator Advances and Daily Administrator Advance Charges.  The Administrator may make Administrator Advances, if the Series Certificate Agreement provides for them to be made, as described below.


 


(a)           Administrator to Make Administrator Advances.  The Administrator may, but need not, make Administrator Advances to Holders of Class A Certificates on a Payment Date in an amount up to the Required Class A Certificate Interest Distribution Amount for the prior Accrual Period.  The decision by the Administrator to make an Administrator Advance in any amount will be made in the sole discretion of the Administrator, and no decision to make an Administrator Advance on any Payment Date will impose any obligation to make an Administrator Advance of any further amount.  On each occasion when the Administrator determines to make an Administrator Advance, the Administrator will notify the Remarketing Agent and Freddie Mac of such determination prior to 12:00 noon, on the Business Day prior to such Payment Date.


 


(b)           Repayment of Administrator Advances.  Unreimbursed Administrator Advances will be repaid from amounts deposited in the Bond Payment Subaccount-Interest as provided in Section 4.03(a) or from proceeds of Bonds sold as provided in Article XIII.


 


(c)           Administrator Advance Charge.  The Administrator will be entitled to receive a fee equal to the aggregate accrued Daily Administrator Advance Charges.


 


(d)           Payment of Daily Administrator Advance Charge.  Aggregate Daily Administrator Advance Charges will be paid, to the extent available, from Available Funds, on each Payment Date derived from interest payments on Bonds or in the Bond Payment Subaccount–Holdback before payments to Class A Holders on each Payment Date and as elsewhere herein upon the withdrawal, sale or redemption of Bonds.


 


(e)           Authorization to Deduct Administrator Advances, Administrator Advance Charges, Service Charges, Liquidity Charges and Administrator Fees.  Each Holder of Certificates, by its purchase thereof, authorizes the Administrator to deduct from payments on the Bonds any unreimbursed Administrator Advances, unpaid Daily Administrator Advance Charges, and accrued fees and reimbursements due to Freddie Mac, the Administrator, the Remarketing Agent or the Servicer.


 


(f)           If the Administrator determines not to make Administrator Advances for any reason, interest distributions on the Class A Certificates will be made on each Payment Date in the manner described in Section 4.03(a) by the payment of the Available Funds in the Bond Payment Subaccount-Interest and the Bond Payment Subaccount-Holdback.  After the payment of Administrator Fees and aggregate Daily Administrator Advance Charges, all amounts remaining in the Bond Payment Subaccount-Interest and the Bond Payment Subaccount-Holdback will be paid immediately to Holders of Class A Certificates on each Payment Date.  Interest on the Class A Certificates will continue to accrue at the Reset Rate in effect for each Accrual Period without an increase in the accrual rate for any delay in payment.

Section 4.10                      [Reserved].


 


Section 4.11                      Credit Enhancement.  Freddie Mac guarantees certain payments with respect to the Certificates as set forth below:


 


(a)           Freddie Mac hereby guarantees to each Registered Holder of a Class A Certificate the timely payment on each Payment Date of such Holder’s pro rata portion of


 


(i)           interest on the Bonds equal to the Required Class A Certificate Interest Distribution Amount; and


 


(ii)           that portion of the scheduled principal then due and payable on any Bond on the most recent Bond Redemption Date that was not received by the Administrator on such Bond Redemption Date (excluding any Bond Redemption Premium).


 


(b)           Freddie Mac hereby guarantees to each Registered Holder of a Class A Certificate or a Class B Certificate the timely payment on each Release Event Date of the applicable Release Purchase Price (but not any Hypothetical Gain Share payable on such date).


 


(c)           Freddie Mac hereby guarantees to the Registered Holder of the Class B Certificates the timely payment on each Payment Date of such Holder’s residual interest set forth in Section 4.03(a) and the payment of the remainder of principal set forth in Section 4.03(b) (but in each such case only to the extent the Administrator has received Available Funds required to be paid to the Registered Holder of the Class B Certificates pursuant to Section 4.03(a) or Section 4.03(b), as applicable).


 


(d)           In addition, with respect to any series of Bonds, if all or any portion of a payment of principal of (but not premium related to such Bonds), or interest on, such Bonds or the Release Purchase Price (but not Gain Share or Hypothetical Gain Share) is recovered from any Holder of a Certificate, in whole or in part, as a matter of a final, nonappealable order by a court of competent jurisdiction pursuant to section 544, 547, 549 or 550 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, or under the banking laws of the United States, in any proceeding instituted thereunder by or against the owner of the property that secures the applicable Bonds, or any other Person (other than Freddie Mac) making such payment, Freddie Mac will pay to the Administrator, within five (5) Business Days after receiving a written notice from the affected Registered Holders of the Certificates that were required to pay such recovery, an amount equal to the amount of such recovery.  Nothing contained in this paragraph will preclude Freddie Mac, after making the payment referred to in the prior sentence, from contesting, directly or indirectly, in any such proceeding, any such attempted recovery or stay, or from seeking to lift or modify the automatic stay, and Freddie Mac in its capacity as Administrator, will have the right to contest any attempted recovery or stay, or to seek to lift or modify any automatic stay.  The amounts payable pursuant to this paragraph will be deposited into the applicable Bond Payment Subaccount within the Distribution Account.


 






  





21











  













(e)           Except as provided in the next sentence, Freddie Mac’s obligations under the Credit Enhancement will terminate on the Series Expiration Date.  Under certain circumstances involving an Act of Bankruptcy, Freddie Mac’s obligations under the immediately preceding paragraph will continue beyond the Series Expiration Date, as follows:  Freddie Mac’s obligations under the immediately preceding paragraph will continue beyond the Series Expiration Date with respect to any payment (a “Covered Payment”) on any series of Bonds made by an Owner, the Sponsor or any other person (other than Freddie Mac) within three hundred sixty-six (366) days prior to an Act of Bankruptcy with respect to such Bonds, and will terminate on the later to occur of (i) the date on which Freddie Mac has paid to the Administrator an amount equal to all Covered Payments recovered from the Holders pursuant to such proceeding, and (ii) the date on which all claims with respect to any such proceeding have been denied with prejudice by a final, nonappealable order of a court of competent jurisdiction, and (iii) if no Act of Bankruptcy has occurred, the last expiration date of all statutes of limitations applicable to claims against Holders pursuant to an Act of Bankruptcy.  However, all Credit Enhancement obligations of Freddie Mac with respect to any series of Bonds will terminate on the earlier of (A) the receipt by the Administrator of a certificate of each Owner or the Sponsor, as applicable, dated not earlier than 366 days following the applicable Series Expiration Date to the effect that as of the date of the certificate no Act of Bankruptcy has occurred or (B) 380 days following such Series Expiration Date provided that the Administrator has not received notice that an Act of Bankruptcy has occurred.


 


(f)           Freddie Mac will be subrogated to all the rights, interest, remedies, powers and privileges of the Holders with respect to any payments made by Freddie Mac pursuant to its Credit Enhancement set forth in this Section 4.11.  In particular, to the extent Freddie Mac makes a payment pursuant to its Credit Enhancement under this Section 4.11 and has not been fully reimbursed for such payment pursuant to the terms of the Reimbursement Agreement, the Administrator will remit to Freddie Mac any subsequent Bond Payments or other payments received by the Administrator in satisfaction of the obligations with respect to which such Credit Enhancement payment was made.  In the event Freddie Mac makes a payment pursuant to its Credit Enhancement under this Section 4.11 and is fully reimbursed for such Credit Enhancement payment in accordance with the Reimbursement Agreement, then any subsequent Bond Payments or other payments received by the Administrator in satisfaction of the obligations with respect to which such reimbursed Credit Enhancement payment was made, shall be disbursed pursuant to Section 4.03.  Each Holder of Certificates will be deemed to have consented to these subrogation rights.


 


(g)           Any payments by Freddie Mac pursuant to its guaranty set forth in this Section 4.11 will be made by Freddie Mac using its own funds, and not any funds of the Sponsor or otherwise derived from the Bonds.

Section 5.01                      Determination of Reset Rates, Reset Rate Methods and Reset Dates.


 


(a)           Each Series of Class A Certificates may have a Reset Rate Method that is a Weekly Reset Rate Method, a Monthly Reset Rate Method or a Term Reset Rate Method.  The Series Certificate Agreement will designate the initial Reset Rate Method as of the Date of Original Issue.  The Remarketing Agent will determine the Reset Rate applicable to the Class A Certificates in accordance with this Article V, as applicable.  The Holders of not less than 51% of the Aggregate Outstanding Class B Certificate Balance, with the consent of Freddie Mac, or Freddie Mac, if the interest rate hedge required by the Reimbursement Agreement is not in effect, will have the right to change the initial Reset Rate Method or any subsequent Reset Rate Method to another Reset Rate Method.


 


(b)           (i) Any change in the Reset Rate Method from a Weekly Reset Rate Method or a Monthly Reset Method will be conditioned upon the remarketing of all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof; and (ii) any change in the Reset Rate Method from a Term Reset Rate Method or any continuation of a Term Reset Rate Method will be conditioned upon the remarketing of all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof.


 


(c)           If all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates are not remarketed for a purchase price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof as provided in Section 5.01(b), beginning on the date that would have been the Reset Rate Method Change Date or the Term Reset Date, as applicable, the Reset Rate Method that will be in effect will be a Weekly Reset Rate Method, and the Weekly Reset Rate will be determined by the Remarketing Agent on or prior to the Reset Rate Method Change Date or the Term Reset Date, as applicable, and will be effective from the day that would have been the Reset Rate Method Change Date or the Term Reset Date through the next succeeding Wednesday.  The Reset Rate Method thereafter will continue to be a Weekly Reset Rate Method unless and until a Reset Rate Method Change Date occurs.


 


Section 5.02                      Weekly Reset Rate; Monthly Reset Rate.


 


(a)           Weekly Reset Rate; Weekly Reset Date.  If the Reset Rate Method is, or is being changed to, a Weekly Reset Rate Method, the Remarketing Agent will determine, by not later than 5:00 p.m. on each Weekly Reset Date, the Weekly Reset Rate for the Class A Certificates, which rate will be the per annum rate, not exceeding the Maximum Reset Rate, determined by the Remarketing Agent as the minimum rate of interest which would, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, under then prevailing market conditions (taking into account that such rate will be reset on the next Weekly Reset Date), result in a sale of the Class A Certificates at a market price equal to the Current Certificate Balance thereof, plus accrued interest.  The Weekly Reset Rate applicable on the Weekly Reset Date in each week will be in effect from Thursday of such week through Wednesday of the following week, or, if earlier, through the day preceding the next Reset Rate Method Change Date.  However, if on any Weekly Reset Date, the Remarketing Agent fails to establish the Weekly Reset Rate, the then applicable Reset Rate will be the lesser of the previous Reset Rate or the Maximum Reset Rate.


 






  





23











  













(b)           Monthly Reset Rate; Monthly Reset Date.  If the Reset Rate Method is, or is being changed to, a Monthly Reset Rate Method, the Remarketing Agent will determine, by not later than 5:00 p.m. on each Monthly Reset Date, the Monthly Reset Rate for the Class A Certificates, which rate will be the per annum rate, not exceeding the Maximum Reset Rate, determined by the Remarketing Agent as the minimum rate of interest which would, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, under then prevailing market conditions (taking into account that such rate will be reset on the next Monthly Reset Date), result in a sale of the Class A Certificates at a market price equal to the Current Certificate Balance thereof, plus accrued interest.  The Monthly Reset Rate will be in effect from the first day of the month through the last day of such month or, if earlier, on the day preceding the next Reset Rate Method Change Date.  However, if on any Monthly Reset Date, the Remarketing Agent fails to establish the Monthly Reset Rate, the then applicable Reset Rate will be the lesser of the previous Reset Rate or the Maximum Reset Rate.  Six Business Days before any Monthly Reset Date, the Remarketing Agent will determine the Preliminary Class A Certificate Rate pursuant to the standard set forth in the first sentence of this Subsection 5.02(b).  Upon such determination, the Remarketing Agent will immediately give telephonic notice of the Preliminary Class A Certificate Rate to each Holder requesting such notice.  The Monthly Reset Rate may be more than, but will be at least equal to such Preliminary Class A Certificate Rate, provided that it may not exceed the Maximum Reset Rate.


 


(c)           Reset Rate Method Change Notice and Related Mandatory Tender.  If the Holders of not less than 51% of the Aggregate Outstanding Class B Certificate Balance, with the written consent of Freddie Mac (which may be conditioned upon a repricing by the Remarketing Agent), or Freddie Mac, if the interest rate hedge required by the Reimbursement Agreement is not in effect, at any time determine to change the Reset Rate Method from a Weekly Reset Rate Method to a Monthly Reset Rate Method, or from a Monthly Reset Rate Method to a Weekly Reset Rate Method, and gives the Administrator notice of such determination along with a copy of such consent if applicable, the Administrator will give, by Electronic Notice, a Reset Rate Method Change Notice to the Remarketing Agent and to the Registered Holders, not later than the second Business Day following the date Freddie Mac consents to or initiates such change.  Each such Reset Rate Method Change Notice must be provided to the Holders of Class A Certificates no later than eight Business Days prior to the Reset Rate Method Change Date and state (A) that a Weekly Reset Rate Method or Monthly Reset Rate Method, whichever is applicable, will be in effect, following the Reset Rate Method Change Date, (B) the date on which such Weekly Reset Rate Method or Monthly Reset Rate Method will become effective, (C) that the Class A Certificates will be subject to Mandatory Tender on the Reset Rate Method Change Date (subject to the Class A Holders’ right to retain their Class A Certificates) and (D) that the change in Reset Rate Method will be subject to the remarketing of all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof and if not remarketed, the Reset Rate Method will change to the Weekly Reset Rate Method.  Such notice will be attached to the Mandatory Tender Notice that is required to be provided pursuant to Section 6.05.


 


Section 5.03                      Term Reset Rate; Term Reset Date.


 


(a)           Determination of Term Reset Rate.  Subject to the next two sentences of this Section 5.03(a), if the Reset Rate Method is, or is being changed to, a Term Reset Rate Method, the Remarketing Agent will determine by not later than 5:00 p.m. on the Term Reset Date the Term Reset Rate for the Class A Certificates, which rate will be the per annum rate, not


 






  





24











  













exceeding the Maximum Reset Rate, determined by the Remarketing Agent as the minimum rate of interest which would, in the judgment of the Remarketing Agent, under then prevailing market conditions (taking into account that such rate will be reset on the next Term Reset Date), result in a sale of the Class A Certificates at a price equal to the Current Certificate Balance thereof, plus accrued interest.  The Class A Certificates will only bear interest at the Term Reset Rate if on the Term Reset Date all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates are remarketed for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof.  If all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates are not remarketed for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof, beginning on the date that would have been the Term Reset Date, the Class A Certificates will bear interest at the Weekly Reset Rate.  The Term Reset Rate determined on each Term Reset Date will be in effect from the related Term Effective Date through the day preceding the earlier of the Series Expiration Date or the next Term Effective Date which period will not be less than 180 days nor exceed one year unless otherwise consented to by Freddie Mac; provided that if, on any Term Reset Date, the Remarketing Agent fails to establish the Term Reset Rate, the applicable Term Reset Rate will be the lesser of the previous Reset Rate or the Maximum Reset Rate.  Following the First Optional Disposition Date, the period during which a Term Reset Rate may be in effect will not be less than 180 days nor exceed five years unless otherwise consented to by Freddie Mac.  Six Business Days before any Term Reset Date, the Remarketing Agent will determine the Preliminary Class A Certificate Rate pursuant to the standard set forth in the first sentence of this Subsection 5.03(a).  Upon such determination, the Remarketing Agent will immediately give telephonic notice of the Preliminary Class A Certificate Rate and the length of the ensuing term to each Holder requesting such notice.  The Term Reset Rate may be more than, but will be at least equal to such Preliminary Class A Certificate Rate, provided that it may not exceed the Maximum Reset Rate.


 


(b)           Term Reset Method Notice and Related Mandatory Tender.  A Term Reset Rate may be set or reset as of the applicable Term Effective Date and may be set or reset at a fixed rate.  If the Holders of not less than 51% of the Aggregate Outstanding Class B Certificate Balance, with the written consent of Freddie Mac, or Freddie Mac if the interest rate hedge acquired by the Reimbursement Agreement is not in effect, determine to change the Reset Rate Method from a Weekly Reset Rate Method or Monthly Reset Rate Method to a Term Reset Rate Method or to reset the Term Reset Rate as of the applicable Term Effective Date (and gives the Administrator notice of such determination along with a copy of such consent if applicable, in all events before any Term Reset Date and on or prior to the ninth Business Day prior to the Term Effective Date) the Administrator will give by Electronic Notice, a Term Reset Method Notice to the Remarketing Agent and to the Registered Holders not later than the Business Day following the date Freddie Mac consents to or initiates such change.  Such notice will be attached to the Mandatory Tender Notice that is required to be provided pursuant to Section 6.05, if applicable.  Each such Term Reset Method Notice will set forth: (A) a statement that the ensuing Reset Rate Method will be a Term Reset Rate Method, (B) the Term Effective Date on which the Term Reset Rate Method will take effect, (C) a statement that the Class A Certificates will be subject to Mandatory Tender on the Term Effective Date (subject to the Class A Holders’ right to retain their Class A Certificates), provided that such date will be no earlier than eight Business Days following the date on which such notice is given to the Registered Holders by the Administrator, (D) the Term Reset Date on which the Term Reset Rate for such Term Effective Date will be determined, (E) a statement that the Preliminary Class A Certificate Rate will be determined six Business Days before the Term Reset Date, and (F) a statement that the beginning of the Term Reset Rate Method on the Term Reset Date will be subject to the remarketing of all Available


 






  





25











  













Remarketing Class A Certificates for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof and if not so remarketed, beginning on the date that would have been the Term Reset Date, the Class A Certificates will bear interest at the Weekly Reset Rate.


 


(c)           Reset Rate Method Change Notice and Related Mandatory Tender.  If the Holders of not less than 51% of the Aggregate Outstanding Class B Certificate Balance, with the written consent of Freddie Mac (which may be conditioned upon a repricing by the Remarketing Agent), or Freddie Mac, if the interest rate hedge required by the Reimbursement Agreement is not in effect, determine to change the Reset Rate Method from a Term Reset Rate Method to a Weekly Reset Rate Method or Monthly Reset Rate Method and give the Administrator notice of such determination along with a copy of such consent if applicable, no later than the ninth Business Day prior to the day that would be the Term Effective Date if the Term Reset Rate Method were to continue, the Administrator will give by Electronic Notice a Reset Rate Method Change Notice to the Remarketing Agent and to the Registered Holders not later than the Business Day following the date Freddie Mac consents or initiates such change.  Such Reset Rate Method Change Notice will set forth (A) a statement that a Weekly Reset Rate Method or Monthly Reset Rate Method, whichever is applicable, will be in effect, (B) the date on which such Weekly Reset Rate Method or Monthly Reset Rate Method will become effective; provided that such date will be a Business Day not earlier than the first day following the end of the term which was in effect and not earlier than eight Business Days following the date on which such notice is given by the Administrator to the Registered Holders, (C) a statement that the Class A Certificates will be subject to Mandatory Tender on the Reset Rate Method Change Date (subject to the Class A Holders’ right to retain their Class A Certificates) and (D) a statement that if all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates are not remarketed for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof, beginning on the Reset Method Change Date all Class A Certificates will bear interest at the Weekly Reset Rate, notwithstanding, if applicable, the prior election to change the Reset Rate Method to the Monthly Reset Method.  Such notice will be attached to the Mandatory Tender Notice that is required to be provided pursuant to Section 6.05.


 


(d)           Reversion to Weekly Reset Rate Method.  If the Administrator has not received a Term Reset Method Notice pursuant to Section 5.03(b), or a Reset Rate Method Change Notice pursuant to Section 5.03(c), by the ninth Business Day prior to the day that would be the Term Effective Date if the Term Reset Rate Method were to continue or if all Available Remarketing Class A Certificates have not been remarketed for a price equal to the Current Class A Certificate Balance thereof, the Reset Rate Method that will be in effect as of the end of such term will be a Weekly Reset Rate Method, and the Weekly Reset Rate will be determined by the Remarketing Agent on the last Business Day on or prior to the end of such term and will be effective from the day following the end of such term through the next succeeding Wednesday, or, if earlier, through the day preceding the next Reset Rate Method Change Date.  Unless any such Reset Rate Method Change Date occurs on or prior to such Wednesday, the Reset Rate Method thereafter will continue to be a Weekly Reset Rate Method unless and until a Reset Rate Method Change Date occurs.  On the eighth Business Day prior to the day that would be the Term Effective Date if the Term Reset Rate Method were to continue, the Administrator will give a notice to Freddie Mac and the Registered Holders of Class A Certificates setting forth (A) a statement that a Weekly Reset Rate Method will be in effect, (B) the date on which such Weekly Reset Rate Method will become effective, and (C) a statement that the Class A Certificates will be subject to Mandatory Tender on the Reset Rate Method Change Date (subject to the Class A

Holders’ right to retain their Class A Certificates).  Such notice will be attached to the Mandatory Tender Notice that is required to be provided pursuant to Section 6.05.


 


Section 5.04                      Notice of Reset Rate.  On each Weekly Reset Date, Monthly Reset Date and Term Reset Date, promptly after determining the Reset Rate applicable to the Class A Certificates, the Remarketing Agent will give to the Sponsor, the Administrator and Freddie Mac, by Electronic Notice, a notice setting forth (A) the Maximum Reset Rate, (B) the Reset Rate and (C) the date on which such Reset Rate will take effect in accordance with this Article V.  Upon the giving of such notice to the Administrator, the determination of the Reset Rate by the Remarketing Agent will, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive and binding upon the Remarketing Agent, the Administrator, Freddie Mac, and the Holders, subject to the Maximum Reset Rate.  The Administrator and the Remarketing Agent will make the Reset Rate available by telephone to any requesting Holder during regular business hours.


 


Section 5.05                      No Changes in Reset Rate Method During the Two Business Days Preceding Mandatory Tender Date.  No change in any Reset Rate Method will be effective during the last two Business Days preceding any Mandatory Tender Date.


 


Section 5.06                      Maximum Reset Rate.  In no event will the rate at which interest will accrue on any day on the Class A Certificates exceed the Maximum Reset Rate for such day.  The Maximum Reset Rate will be calculated by the Remarketing Agent on each Reset Date immediately prior to the determination of the Reset Rate.


 


 


ARTICLE VI


 


THE LIQUIDITY FACILITY; THE TENDER OPTION; MANDATORY TENDER


 







Section 6.01                      Tender Option; Rights of Holders; Liquidity Facility.  (a)  Each Holder of a Class A Certificate will have the right, at its option, at the times and in compliance with the requirements and subject to the provisions of Section 6.03, to tender such Holder’s Class A Certificate in Authorized Denominations to the Administrator for purchase and to receive payment of the Purchase Price thereof pursuant to Section 6.06.  This right of tender is not available to Affected Certificates after the occurrence of an applicable Tender Option Termination Event or to Pledged Class A Certificates.


 


(b)           (i)           Freddie Mac agrees to provide payment of the Purchase Price of Class A Certificates (other than Affected Certificates or Pledged Class A Certificates) on a Purchase Date, Optional Disposition Date or Mandatory Tender Date, as applicable, in accordance with the following provisions.  Subject to its receipt of notice from the Remarketing Agent as provided in Section 6.01(b)(iii) and, if applicable, from the Paying Agent pursuant to Section 6.06(a)(v), Freddie Mac hereby agrees to pay the Administrator no later than 2:00 p.m. on any Purchase Date, Optional Disposition Date or Mandatory Tender Date, as applicable, the Purchase Price of any Class A Certificate that is subject to (i) Optional Tender, (ii) Mandatory Tender following a Mandatory Tender Event, or (iii) the right of Holders of Class A Certificates to exercise the Optional Disposition Right (in each instance, less any available remarketing proceeds as provided in Section 6.06(a) or in the case of Class A Certificates subject to Mandatory Tender in connection with a Special Adjustment Event, only to the extent the applicable Purchase Price is not funded from the sources described in Sections 7.02(c) or (d) of these Standard Terms).  Unless a Tender Option Termination Event has occurred and continues


 






  





27











  













with respect to all of the Certificates, this obligation of Freddie Mac is binding against it, irrespective of any insolvency, bankruptcy, assignment for the benefit of creditors or readjustment of the debts of, or other similar events or proceedings affecting, any Person, or any action taken by any trustee or receiver, or any court in any such proceeding, or any allegation of invalidity of the agreement of Freddie Mac to make such payments in any such proceeding.


 


(ii)           The initial Liquidity Commitment is an amount equal to the sum of (A) the Aggregate Outstanding Class A Certificate Balance as of the Date of Original Issue plus (B) an amount equal to interest for thirty five (35) days on the Aggregate Outstanding Bond Balance at a rate per annum equal to the Weighted Average Bond Rate assuming that the Bond Rate is the maximum possible rate for the related Bond.  The Liquidity Commitment will be increased on any date on which Class B Certificates are converted to Class A Certificates pursuant to Section 2.14 so that as of such date of conversion, the Liquidity Commitment will be the Aggregate Outstanding Class A Certificate Balance plus an amount equal to interest for thirty five (35) days on the Aggregate Outstanding Bond Balance at a rate per annum equal to the Weighted Average Bond Rate assuming that the Bond Rate is the maximum possible rate for the related Bond.  The Liquidity Commitment shall be decreased on any date on which Class A Certificates (A) are canceled or exchanged for Bonds or proceeds from the Disposition of Bonds or (B) become Pledged Class A Certificates pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(iii)           Freddie Mac’s obligation to pay the Purchase Price with respect to any Available Remarketing Class A Certificates on any Purchase Date, Optional Disposition Date or Mandatory Tender Date pursuant to the Liquidity Facility is subject to the condition precedent that Freddie Mac has timely received from the Remarketing Agent and, if applicable, the Paying Agent, all notices required to be received by Freddie Mac pursuant to Section 6.06 no later than 9:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m., respectively, on such date, in which event Freddie Mac will pay the amounts required under the Liquidity Facility no later than 2:00 p.m. on such date.  If Freddie Mac receives such notice from the Remarketing Agent after 9:00 a.m., or from the Paying Agent, if applicable, after 10:00 a.m., it will pay the amounts required under the Liquidity Facility no later than 2:00 p.m. on the Business Day following the Purchase Date, as applicable.


 


(iv)           The Administrator will receive and hold for the benefit of Freddie Mac all funds provided by Freddie Mac under the Liquidity Facility on account of the Purchase Price of Class A Certificates and will not disburse such funds until the tendered Class A Certificates have been received from the Registered Holders of the Tendered Class A Certificates.  On the Purchase Date, the Administrator will cause Pledged Class A Certificates to be registered in the name of the Pledge Custodian until remarketed or redeemed, subject to the security interest provided for in the Reimbursement Agreement.


 


(v)           When Freddie Mac pays the Purchase Price of Class A Certificates tendered as provided above, all payment obligations of Freddie Mac related to the payment of the Purchase Price of such Class A Certificates will terminate, subject to reinstatement as provided in the next sentence.  Freddie Mac’s obligation to pay all or a portion of the Purchase Price of such tendered Class A Certificates, as applicable, will be reinstated (A) automatically, when and to the extent that (1) Freddie Mac has confirmed in writing to the Administrator full reimbursement in immediately available funds for the amount provided by it pursuant to the Liquidity Facility to pay all or a portion of the Purchase Price of such tendered Class A Certificates or (2) the Administrator has received immediately available funds from the

Remarketing Agent or other applicable source to reimburse Freddie Mac fully for the amount provided to pay all or a portion of the Purchase Price of such tendered Class A Certificates, and the Remarketing Agent has delivered to Freddie Mac a certificate to that effect, by facsimile transmission to the Director of Multifamily Management and Information Control (with confirmation of the facsimile transmission by (X) telephone call to the Director of Multifamily Management and Information Control, and (Y) concurrently mailed an original certificate to that effect, completed and signed by an officer of the Remarketing Agent, by first-class mail, postage fully prepaid, to the Director of Multifamily Management and Information Control or to such other offices or Freddie Mac employee as Freddie Mac designates by written notice to the Remarketing Agent) or (B) at such time as and to the extent that Freddie Mac, in its discretion, advises the Remarketing Agent in writing that such reinstatement will occur, it being understood that Freddie Mac has no obligation to grant any such reinstatement except as provided in clause (A) immediately above.  Freddie Mac may, by notice to the Administrator and Remarketing Agent, change the office or employee to which such notice is to be provided.


 


(vi)           The Liquidity Facility will terminate on the earlier of (i) the date that the Reset Rate Method for the Class A Certificates is changed to the Term Reset Rate Method for a term interval that ends on the latest maturity date of the Bonds, (ii) the termination of the Series pursuant to Article XIII, (iii) the occurrence of a Tender Option Termination Event with respect to all of the Certificates, or (iv) the date on which the Class A Certificates have been redeemed in full.


 


Section 6.02                      Funds Held by Administrator.  In connection with an exercise of the Tender Option pursuant to Section 6.03, if a Mandatory Tender Event occurs pursuant to Section 6.04, or in connection with an exercise of the Optional Disposition Right pursuant to Section 7.05, the Administrator, on behalf of the Holders of Class A Certificates (other than Affected Certificates and Pledged Class A Certificates), agrees to accept and hold all moneys related to the Purchase Price of such Certificates separate and apart from its other assets, until such funds are to be disbursed in accordance with the terms of the Series Certificate Agreement.

Class A Certificates as to which a Weekly Reset Rate Method is in effect are eligible for purchase pursuant to the Tender Option on any Business Day, subject to compliance with the notice and other requirements set forth Section 6.03(b).  Class A Certificates as to which a Monthly Reset Rate Method is in effect are eligible for purchase pursuant to the Tender Option only on the first Business Day of every calendar month.  Class A Certificates as to which a Term Reset Rate Method is in effect are not eligible for purchase pursuant to the Tender Option; such Class A Certificates are subject to mandatory tender on the Mandatory Tender Date following a Mandatory Tender Event, subject to the Holder’s right to retain its Class A Certificate.


 


(b)           Exercise Notice and Delivery Requirements for Class A Certificates.  In order to exercise the Tender Option with respect to Class A Certificates, a Holder will instruct its DTC Participant to (i) give to the Administrator and the Remarketing Agent, not later than 5:00 p.m. on the fifth Business Day preceding the applicable Purchase Date, a notice of exercise of the Tender Option (an “Exercise Notice”), (ii) deliver not later than 11:00 a.m. on the Purchase Date “free” to the Administrator, by book-entry transfer into the Administrator’s account at DTC, all tendered Certificates, and (iii) advise the Administrator, in writing, of the single account of such DTC Participant into which payment for such Certificates (for all Holders using such DTC

If an Exercise Notice with respect to any Class A Certificate is duly given by any DTC Participant, but the Class A Certificate described in such Exercise Notice is not timely delivered to the Administrator as described in Section 6.03, the Administrator will deem such Class A Certificate to have been delivered, and the Administrator will promptly notify the DTC Participant that the DTC Participant will be required to deliver such Certificate to the Administrator as described in Section 6.03(b).


 


(e)           Re-Delivery in Event of Failed Exercise.  If the Administrator deems the Tender Option not to have been exercised with respect to any Class A Certificate, or if any Class A Certificates are delivered to the Administrator in connection with an attempted exercise of the Tender Option, but such attempted exercise does not comply with the requirements of subsection (b) above, the Administrator will reject such exercise and use its best efforts to redeliver such Class A Certificates by requesting the transfer of such Certificates “free” on the records of DTC to the Holder’s DTC Participant.


 


(f)           Tender Advice.  Not later than 5:00 p.m. on the Business Day after it receives an Exercise Notice, the Administrator will give Freddie Mac, the Remarketing Agent and DTC a Tender Advice by Electronic Notice setting forth (i) the Purchase Date, and (ii) the Current Certificate Balance in Authorized Denominations of such Class A Certificates tendered for purchase.

(iii)           Not later than 9:00 a.m. on the Purchase Date, a Mandatory Tender Date or an Optional Disposition Date, as applicable, the Administrator will confirm with the Remarketing Agent the Purchase Price of such Available Remarketing Class A Certificates.

The Administrator will immediately notify the Sponsor upon the occurrence of a Liquidity Failure, and the Sponsor will advise the Administrator of the related Exchange Date.  The Administrator will notify the Registered Holders, each applicable Rating Agency and the Remarketing Agent within one Business Day after the occurrence of a Liquidity Failure.  Any distribution made in connection with such a Liquidity Failure is in no way intended to, and will not, negate or waive any rights of the Holders of Class A Certificates or the Administrator on their behalf, to take any action against, or to pursue any other remedy available to them under the Series Certificate Agreement, under any other document related to the Series Certificate Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise against Freddie Mac, with respect to any failure by Freddie Mac to pay the Purchase Price for Class A Certificates when required to do so and such failure is not cured on or before the third Business Day after the related Mandatory Tender Date or Purchase Date.


 


(d)           Disposition of Tendered Class A Certificates and Class A Certificates Subject to Mandatory Tender.  (i)  Concurrently with the payment of the Purchase Price for Available Remarketing Class A Certificates on any Purchase Date, Mandatory Tender Date or Optional Disposition Date, the Administrator will (A) to the extent that the Remarketing Agent deposited with the Administrator remarketing proceeds in the amount of such Purchase Price pursuant to Section 6.06(a)(i), deliver to the Remarketing Agent (for redelivery to the purchasers of such Class A Certificates) the Class A Certificates with respect to which the Remarketing Agent deposited with the Administrator the Purchase Price and (B) to the extent Freddie Mac deposited with the Administrator, or in the case of Class A Certificates subject to Mandatory Tender related to a Special Adjustment Event, the Pledge Custodian or the Sponsor deposited with the Administrator, the amount of any Purchase Price with respect to any such Class A Certificates, deliver to the Pledge Custodian, for the benefit of Freddie Mac, such Class A Certificates with respect to which Freddie Mac, the Pledge Custodian or the Sponsor, as applicable, deposited with the Administrator such Purchase Price.

35











  













Section 4.06.  Following such registration, Freddie Mac will be entitled to receive payments on the Pledged Class A Certificates in accordance with its interest.


 


(ii)           If any Class A Certificate that is subject to Mandatory Tender is not surrendered by the Holder of such Certificate on a Mandatory Tender Date (except for a Class A Certificate which the respective Holder has elected to retain as provided in Section 6.07), such Class A Certificate will be deemed surrendered for all purposes under the Series Certificate Agreement.

ARTICLE VII


 


TENDER OPTION TERMINATION EVENTS AND CERTAIN MANDATORY TENDER EVENTS; OPTIONAL DISPOSITION RIGHT


 







Section 7.01                      Tender Option Termination Events.  (a)  Without notice, on or prior to any Purchase Date, Mandatory Tender Date, or Optional Disposition Date, upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Tender Option Termination Event”), the Tender Option will be terminated as provided below:


 


(i)           there shall have occurred (A) a failure to pay when due any installment of principal of or premium, if any, or interest with respect to any Bonds (whether by scheduled maturity, regular repayment, acceleration, demand or otherwise), and (B) a failure by Freddie Mac to pay under the Credit Enhancement set forth in Section 4.11, which failure or failures continue for a period of three (3) Business Days;


 


(ii)           upon 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 is deemed final under applicable procedural law, and which has the effect of a determination that the interest on any of the Bonds is includable in the gross income of the recipients thereof for federal income tax purposes; or


 


(iii)           if the rating of the long-term senior debt of Freddie Mac is reduced below “investment grade” (being “Baa3” in the case of Moody’s and “BBB-” in the case of Fitch and S&P) by each such Rating Agency rating such debt.


 


When the Administrator has Knowledge of a Tender Option Termination Event it will promptly give the Remarketing Agent a Tender Option Termination Notice with respect thereto by Electronic Notice, promptly confirmed by mailing a copy thereof.  The Tender Option Termination Notice will set forth (1) a description of the Tender Option Termination Event that has occurred and a description of the Affected Bonds, (2) the date when such Tender Option Termination Event occurred, (3) a schedule, prepared by Freddie Mac, of the Bonds, if any, that will remain after the complete or partial liquidation of the Series Pool and required distributions have been effected on the related Exchange Date, and (4) a schedule, prepared by Freddie Mac, of the amounts of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates, and of the Liquidity


 






  





37











  













Commitment, that will remain after the complete or partial liquidation of the Series Pool and after all required distributions have been effected on the related Exchange Date.


 


Not later than one Business Day following its delivery of a Tender Option Termination Notice to the Remarketing Agent, the Administrator will give the Registered Holders, the Sponsor and each applicable Rating Agency a copy of such Tender Option Termination Notice; provided, however, that the Administrator will have no duty or obligation to ascertain whether any Tender Option Termination Event described therein occurred; and provided further, that neither the failure to give notice of any Tender Option Termination Event to the Administrator, the failure of the Administrator to give such notice to any Registered Holder, nor the failure of any Holder to receive such notice, will delay or affect in any manner the termination of the right of Class A Holders to exercise the Tender Option with respect to any Affected Certificate.


 


When a Tender Option Termination Event occurs, the Series Pool Assets will be subject to complete or partial liquidation on the related Exchange Date in accordance with Section 13.04.


 


Section 7.02                      Special Adjustment Event.  (a)  Freddie Mac will have the right to cause a Mandatory Tender in part of the Class A Certificates (i) upon the Pledge Custodian’s receipt of any principal paid with respect to any “Class B Certificates” of another designated Series with respect to such Certificates; provided that in such event, the aggregate Current Certificate Balance of Class A Certificates subject to Mandatory Tender will equal the amount of such principal received by the Pledge Custodian as of the tenth Business Day of the month (rounded down to the nearest $5,000 increment) which, at the direction of Freddie Mac, is to be remitted to the Administrator on or before the related Mandatory Tender Date or (ii) when any event permitting a Special Adjustment Event described in the provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement occurs, in which case the aggregate Current Certificate Balance of Class A Certificates subject to Mandatory Tender will equal the amount needed to satisfy such provisions of the Reimbursement Agreement.  The Series Certificate Agreement will designate the other series pool from which payments of principal on “Class B Certificates” will generate a Special Adjustment Event.


 


(b)           When any Special Adjustment Event occurs with respect to which Freddie Mac exercises its right to cause a Mandatory Tender, Freddie Mac will give a Special Adjustment Event Notice to the Administrator, each applicable Rating Agency, and the Remarketing Agent by Electronic Notice, promptly confirmed by mailing a copy thereof.  The Special Adjustment Event Notice will set forth (i) a brief statement describing the Special Adjustment Event, (ii) the aggregate Current Certificate Balance of Class A Certificates to be Selected by Lot which will be subject to Mandatory Tender, and (iii) the Special Adjustment Date specified by Freddie Mac on which Class A Certificates so Selected by Lot will be subject to Mandatory Tender, which date may not be earlier than five (5) nor later than ten (10) Business Days after that the Administrator provides notice to the Holders as described in the following sentence.  Not later than 5:00 p.m. on the second Business Day following the date on which a Special Adjustment Event Notice is received by the Administrator, the Administrator will give to Registered Holders Selected by Lot a Mandatory Tender Notice.  Any Special Adjustment Event Notice executed by Freddie Mac under the Series Certificate Agreement will become irrevocable when the related Mandatory Tender Notice is given by the Administrator to the Registered Holders Selected by Lot.  Pledged Class A Certificates existing at the time of such Mandatory Tender will not be subject to Mandatory Tender as a result of the Special Adjustment Event.

(a)  The Class A Certificates may be tendered at a price equal to the Optional Disposition Price on any Optional Disposition Date, in accordance with the following provisions.  On any Optional Disposition Date, any Holder of Class A Certificates (other than Affected Certificates or Pledged Class A Certificates), which has held such Class A Certificates for at least one year, may tender any of its Class A Certificates for a price equal to the Optional Disposition Price.  To tender its Class A Certificates, the Holder must submit a notice to the Administrator and its DTC Participant at least five (5) Business Days before the related Optional Disposition Date stating that such Holder is the Holder of a specified Current Certificate Balance of Class A Certificates, that it is exercising its right to tender such Class A Certificates in exchange for the Optional Disposition Price and its identity.  Within one Business Day after it receives an optional disposition notice, the Administrator will notify the Remarketing Agent and Freddie Mac of its receipt.  Unless otherwise directed by Freddie Mac, the Remarketing Agent will attempt to remarket all Class A Certificates tendered pursuant to the Optional Disposition Right, for settlement on the related Optional Disposition Date.


 


(b)           On any Business Day not earlier than 10 Business Days before an Optional Disposition Date, any Holder of Class A Certificates may request a valuation of the Bonds from the Remarketing Agent.  The Remarketing Agent will then determine such valuation for such Business Day in the manner specified in the definition of “Hypothetical Gain Share”.  Such valuation will be provided to any such Holder solely for informational purposes and will be non-binding on any Person.


 


(c)           On the Optional Disposition Date, the Class A Certificates tendered pursuant to the Optional Disposition Right will be surrendered by the related Holders to the Administrator.  Such Holders of Class A Certificates will be paid the Optional Disposition Price for such Class A Certificates consisting of the Purchase Price of such Certificates and the related Hypothetical Gain Share.  The Purchase Price will be paid in accordance with Section 6.06 of the Standard Terms, and the Hypothetical Gain Share, as calculated by Freddie Mac, will be paid from (i) first, amounts provided to the Administrator by the Holders of Class B Certificates, at their election, after inquiry by the Administrator, and (ii) second, sales of Bonds selected by Freddie Mac, but only to the extent necessary to pay such Hypothetical Gain Share (subject to applicable Authorized Denomination provisions), and in no event in an aggregate principal amount exceeding the aggregate Current Certificate Balance of the Class A Certificates tendered pursuant to the Optional Disposition Right.  To the extent any Bonds are sold to pay Hypothetical Gain Share as aforesaid, the aggregate Current Certificate Balance of such Class A Certificates so tendered will be adjusted downward by the Administrator’s cancellation of such Class A Certificates in an amount equal to the aggregate principal amount of Bonds sold, such that the Aggregate Outstanding Certificate Balance does not exceed the Aggregate Outstanding Bond Balance, and only such reduced amount of Class A Certificates will be available for remarketing on the related Optional Disposition Date.


 


However, in no event may a Holder of Class A Certificates exercise its Optional Disposition Right unless the Hypothetical Gain Share is greater than zero. If the Hypothetical Gain Share is not greater than zero, the Optional Disposition Date for which the Optional Disposition Right has been exercised will be cancelled, and any Class A Certificates delivered to the Administrator pursuant to the preceding paragraph will be returned to the Holders thereof.

EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF HOLDERS







Section 9.01                      Event of Default.  “Event of Default”, wherever used in the Series Certificate Agreement, means any one of the following events:


 


(a)           The Administrator defaults in the payment to Holders of the applicable Certificate Payment Amount, or Freddie Mac defaults in the payment of any amount pursuant to the Credit Enhancement or the Liquidity Facility, when the same is due and payable as provided in the Series Certificate Agreement, and such default continues for a period of three Business Days; or


 


(b)           Freddie Mac or the Administrator fails to observe or perform any other of its covenants set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement, and such failure continues for a period of 60 days after the date on which written notice of such failure, requiring Freddie Mac or the Administrator to remedy the same, has been given to Freddie Mac or the Administrator, as appropriate, by the Holders representing not less than 60% of the Current Class A Certificate Balance or the Current Class B Certificate Balance, as applicable.


 






  





43











  













Section 9.02                      Remedies.  (a)  If an Event of Default occurs and continues, then the Holders representing a majority of the then Current Certificate Balance of any affected Class of Certificates may, by written notice to Freddie Mac, remove the Administrator and nominate a successor Administrator under the Series Certificate Agreement, which nominee will be deemed appointed as successor Administrator unless within 10 days after such nomination Freddie Mac objects, in which case Freddie Mac may petition any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment of a successor Administrator, or any Holder, which has been a bona fide Holder of any affected Class for at least six months may, on behalf of such Holder and all others similarly situated, petition any such court for appointment of a successor Administrator.  Such court may thereupon, after such notice, if any, as it may deem proper, appoint a successor Administrator.


 


(b)           Upon the appointment of any successor Administrator pursuant to this Section 9.02, the retiring Administrator will submit to its successor a complete written report and accounting as to the Certificates and will take all other steps necessary or desirable to transfer its interest in, and the administration of, the Series Certificate Agreement to the successor.  Subject to the Freddie Mac Act, such successor may take such actions with respect to the Series Certificate Agreement as may be reasonable and appropriate in the circumstances.  Prior to any such designation of a successor Administrator, the Holders representing a majority of the Current Certificate Balance of Certificates of any affected Class then Outstanding may waive any past default or Event of Default.  The appointment of a successor Administrator will not relieve Freddie Mac of its Credit Enhancement obligation as set forth in Section 4.11 or its Liquidity Facility obligations set forth in Section 6.01.

In the case of any such waiver, Freddie Mac, the Administrator and the Holders of the Certificates will be restored to their former positions and rights, respectively, but no such waiver will extend to any subsequent or other default, Event of Default or breach of a covenant under the Series Certificate Agreement or impair any right related to a subsequent or unwaived breach.  When any default, Event of Default or breach of a covenant is waived, such default, Event of Default or breach will cease to exist and will be deemed cured and not to have occurred for every purpose of the Series Certificate Agreement.

(a) (i)  The Administrator agrees to perform only such duties as are specifically set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement, and no implied covenants or obligations will be read into the Series Certificate Agreement against the Administrator.  If Freddie Mac is Administrator, it will hold or administer, or supervise the administration of, the Series Pool in a manner consistent with and to the extent required by prudence and in substantially the same manner as it holds and administers assets of the same or similar type for its own account.


 


(ii)           The Administrator is not authorized to, and agrees that it will not, engage in activities with respect to the Series Pool that are not required by the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(iii)           In the absence of gross negligence or willful misconduct on its part, the Administrator may conclusively rely upon certificates or opinions furnished to the Administrator and conforming to the requirements of the Series Certificate Agreement; provided, that, as to the truth of the statements and the correctness of the opinions expressed therein in the case of any such certificates or opinions which by any provision of the Series Certificate Agreement are specifically required to be furnished to the Administrator, the Administrator will be under a duty to examine those opinions or certificates to determine whether or not they conform to the requirements of the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(b)           No provision of the Series Certificate Agreement will be construed to relieve the Administrator from liability for its own grossly negligent action or its own grossly negligent failure to act, or its own willful misconduct, except that:


 


(i)           the Administrator will not be liable for any error of judgment made in good faith by a Responsible Officer, unless it is proved that the Administrator was grossly negligent in ascertaining the pertinent facts; and


 


(ii)           the Administrator will not be liable with respect to any action taken or omitted by it upon the direction of the required percentage of the Holders affected (such percentage will not include those Certificates, if any, that are to be disregarded in accordance with the definition of the term “Outstanding”) relating to the time, method

However, the Administrator agrees to perform and continue performing fully its duties under any other provision of the Series Certificate Agreement even following any Person’s failure to perform any repayment or indemnity obligation owed to the Administrator by such Person as described in this Section 10.01(c); but such performance will not be deemed a waiver of the Administrator’s right to repayment or indemnity.


 


(d)           The permissive right of the Administrator to take actions enumerated in the Series Certificate Agreement will not be construed as a duty, and the Administrator will not be answerable for other than its own gross negligence or willful misconduct.


 


(e)           In no event will the Administrator be liable for acts or omissions of its agents, designees, subcustodians or correspondents, other than its failure to appoint them without gross negligence or willful misconduct.

(b)           the Administrator will be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the Series Certificate Agreement (other than with respect to the Administrator’s obligation to make demands on the Liquidity Facility or the Credit Enhancement at the request or direction of any of the Holders of Class A Certificates pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement), unless such Holders of Class A Certificates

Section 10.05                                Information Regarding Holders.

If at any time the Administrator ceases to be eligible in accordance with the provisions of this Section 10.06, it will resign immediately in the manner and with the effect specified in Article X.

then, in any such case, Freddie Mac, will remove the Administrator.


 


(iv)           At any time Freddie Mac may, upon five days’ written notice to the Administrator, and with or without cause, remove the Administrator and appoint a successor Administrator.

The Administrator, upon request, will furnish Freddie Mac and the Holders of Certificates with all such information known to the Administrator as may be reasonably required by Freddie Mac and the Holders of Certificates in connection with the preparation of tax returns and other information relating to the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Section 11.02                                Capital Accounts.  (a)  There will be established for each Holder a capital account (the “Capital Account”) on the books for the Series Pool to be maintained and adjusted pursuant to the Series Agreement, which will control (pursuant to the provisions of Article XIII) the division of Series Pool Assets upon the termination of the Series Pool and liquidation and/or distribution of the Series Pool Assets or the redemption of any Certificate.  Such Capital Account will be increased by (i) the amount of all Capital Contributions made or deemed made by such Holder to the Series Pool pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement, and (ii) the allocable share of Profits, Market Discount Gains and Capital Gains of such Holder and all items in the nature of income or gain specially allocated to such Holder pursuant to Sections 11.03 and 11.05; and will be decreased by (i) the amount of any cash and the Fair Market Value of any non-cash assets distributed to such Holder by the Series Pool pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement, and (ii) the allocable share of Losses and Capital Losses of such Holder and all items in the nature of Series Pool expenses or losses which are specially allocated to such Holder pursuant to Sections 11.04 and 11.05.  Freddie Mac will be responsible for the establishment and maintenance of the Capital Accounts in accordance with this Section 11.02 and, to facilitate such establishment and maintenance, will monitor the Current Certificate Balances of Holders of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates.


 


(b)           Immediately before a distribution to any Holder in redemption of all or any portion of its Certificates (including the liquidation of the Series Pool as a result of a Series Termination Event), the Capital Account of such Holder will be increased or decreased, as the case may be with its allocable portion of any Profit, Losses, Market Discount Gain, Capital Gain or Capital Loss, or other items of income, gain, loss or deduction that would result if the Series


 






  





52











  













Pool Assets were sold at such time at their Fair Market Values.  In the case of any distribution of Bonds to any Holder, the Capital Account of such Holder will be adjusted in the manner described in the preceding sentence.


 


(c)           A transferee of an interest in the Series Pool will succeed to the Capital Account of the transferor to the extent it relates to the interest transferred.


 


(d)           The foregoing provisions and the other provisions of the Series Certificate Agreement relating to the maintenance of Capital Accounts are intended to comply with Section 1.704-1(b) of the Regulations, and will be interpreted and applied in a manner consistent therewith.  In the event that Freddie Mac determines that it is necessary to modify the manner in which the Capital Accounts, or any debits or credits thereto are computed in order to comply with such Regulations, Freddie Mac will make such modification, provided that such modification is not likely to have a material effect on the amounts distributable to any Holders pursuant to Articles IV, VII or XIII upon the withdrawal of the Holders or the dissolution of the Series Pool.


 


Section 11.03                                Allocations of Profits, Market Discount Gains and Capital Gains.  (a)  Profits for each Fiscal Year or other relevant period will be allocated (i) first, to the Holders of Class A Certificates in proportion to their Current Class A Certificate Balances until each Holder of a Class A Certificate has been allocated, on a cumulative basis, an amount equal to the cumulative amount of its Required Class A Certificate Interest Distribution Amount for such period; (ii) second, to the Holders of Class B Certificates, in proportion to their Current Class B Certificate Balances, the Class A Certificate Notional Accelerated Principal Paydown Amount, and (iii) third, the remainder to the Holders of the Class B Certificates in proportion to their Current Class B Certificate Balances.  The Capital Accounts relating to the Class B Certificates will be adjusted for any bond premium required to be amortized pursuant to Section 171 of the Code and any other capitalized items subject to amortization.


 


(b)           Market Discount Gains realized under applicable federal income tax provisions from a Disposition of any Bond will be allocated solely to the Holders of Class B Certificates in proportion to their current Class B Certificate Balances.


 


(c)           Capital Gains recognized other than in connection with an Exchange Date will be allocated in accordance with the Gain Share.


 


(d)           With respect to an Exchange Date, Capital Gains will be allocated: (i) to the extent that any Losses or Capital Losses have been allocated to the Holders of Class B Certificates pursuant to Section 11.04(a), first, to the Holders of Class B Certificates, pro rata, until the sum of all amounts of Losses or Capital Losses allocated to them under Section 11.04(a) for the current and all preceding periods equals the sum of all Capital Gains allocated to them pursuant to this subsection or Section 11.03(c) for the current and all preceding periods, and (ii) thereafter according to the Gain Share.


 


(e)           In the event of a partial redemption of the Bonds, the Gain Share is only determined with respect to Holders that are redeemed as a result thereof.


 






  





53











  













Section 11.04                                Allocations of Losses and Capital Losses.  (a)  Other than in connection with the occurrence of an Exchange Date, Losses and Capital Losses that result from a liquidation of the related Bonds as a result of a mandatory purchase, failure to remarket tendered Class A Certificates or redemption of any related Bonds will be allocated to the Holders of the Class B Certificates, pro rata, to the extent of their Capital Account Balances.


 


(b)           (1)           In connection with the occurrence of a Tender Option Termination Event and immediately prior to the distribution of the Bonds, Affected Bonds or sales proceeds, as applicable, to the Holders, both Losses and Capital Losses will be allocated: (i) first, to the Holders of the Affected Class A Certificates and Affected Class B Certificates on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Aggregate Outstanding Certificate Balances until their Capital Account Balances have been reduced to zero; and (ii) thereafter, to the Sponsor.


 


(2)           In connection with the occurrence of an Exchange Date described in Section 6.06(c)(iii), and immediately prior to the distribution of Bonds or sales proceeds, as applicable, to the Holders, both Losses and Capital Losses will be allocated (i) first, to the Holders of Class B Certificates and Class A Certificates on a pro rata basis in proportion to the Aggregate Outstanding Certificate Balances until their Capital Account Balances have been reduced to zero; and (ii) thereafter, to the Sponsor.


 


(c)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, any “partner nonrecourse deductions” within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(i)(2) of the Regulations will be allocated to the partner bearing the economic risk of loss for the related debt, in the manner required by Section 1.704-2(i)(1) of the Regulations.


 


(d)           Any Loss (or item thereof) not otherwise allocated pursuant to this Article XI will be allocated to the Sponsor.


 


Section 11.05                                Special Allocations.  (a)  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, no allocation of a loss or deduction will be made to a Holder to the extent such allocation would cause or increase an Adjusted Capital Account Deficit with respect to such Holder.  In the event that any Holder unexpectedly receives adjustments, allocations or distributions described in Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(4), (5) or (6) of the Regulations, items of income and gain will be specially allocated to each such Holder in an amount and manner sufficient to eliminate, to the extent required by the Regulations, the Adjusted Capital Account Deficit of such Holder as quickly as possible.  In no event, however, will any item or items of Series Pool income that represent Market Discount be allocated to any Holder of a Class A Certificate.  This Section 11.05(a) is intended to constitute a “qualified income offset” within the meaning of Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(ii)(d)(3) of the Regulations and will be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


(b)           (i)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, if there is a net decrease in “partnership minimum gain” within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(d)(1) of the Regulations during any Fiscal Year, each Holder who has a share of the partnership minimum gain will be specially allocated items of Series Pool income and gain in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in partnership minimum gain, subject to any modifications deemed appropriate by Freddie Mac to comply with the minimum gain chargeback requirement of Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations.  This subsection is intended to


 






  





54











  













comply with the “partnership minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Section 1.704-2(f) of the Regulations and will be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


(ii)           Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article XI, except as otherwise provided in Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations, if there is a net decrease in “partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain” within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(i)(3) of the Regulations, attributable to “partner nonrecourse debt” within the meaning of Section 1.704-2(b)(4) of the Regulations during any Fiscal Year, each Holder who has a share of the partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(5) of the Regulations, will be specially allocated items of Series Pool income and gain for such Fiscal Year (and, if necessary, subsequent Fiscal Years) in an amount equal to such Holder’s share of the net decrease in partner nonrecourse debt minimum gain attributable to such partner nonrecourse debt, determined in accordance with Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations.  Allocations pursuant to the previous sentence will be made in proportion to the respective amounts required to be allocated to each Holder pursuant thereto.  The items to be so allocated will be determined in accordance with Sections 1.704-2(i)(4) and 1.704-2(j)(2) of the Regulations.  This subsection is intended to comply with the “partner minimum gain chargeback” requirement of Section 1.704-2(i)(4) of the Regulations and will be interpreted consistently therewith.


 


(c)           To the extent an adjustment to the adjusted tax basis of any Series Pool Assets pursuant to Section 734(b) of the Code or Section 743(b) of the Code is required, pursuant to Section 1.704-1(b)(2)(iv)(m) of the Regulations, to be taken into account in determining Capital Accounts, the amount of such adjustment to the Capital Accounts of each of the Holders will be treated as an item of gain (if the adjustment increases the basis of the Series Pool Asset) or loss (if the adjustment decreases such basis) in respect of the relevant Series Pool Assets and such gain or loss will be specially allocated to the Holders in a manner consistent with the manner in which their Capital Accounts are required to be adjusted pursuant to such Section of the Regulations.


 


(d)           The allocations set forth in Sections 11.05(a), (b) and (c) (collectively, the “Regulatory Allocations”) are intended to comply with certain requirements of Section 1.704-1(b) of the Regulations.  By its purchase of a Class A Certificate or Class B Certificates, each Holder acknowledges that the Regulatory Allocations may not be consistent with the manner in which the Holders intend to divide Series Pool distributions.  Accordingly, the Holders agree that the Regulatory Allocations will be offset with subsequent allocations of income, gain, loss, or deduction pursuant to this Section 11.05(d) (collectively, the “Offsetting Allocations”), so that the net amount of any Regulatory Allocations and Offsetting Allocations pursuant to this Article XI will, to the greatest extent possible, be equal to the net amount that would have been allocated to each Holder pursuant to the provisions of this Article XI if the Regulatory Allocations had not occurred.


 


(e)           If the Partnership Factors apply, notwithstanding any other provision of the Series Certificate Agreement, during each Fiscal Year the Sponsor will be allocated a percentage of Profits, Capital Gains, Market Discount Gain, Losses and Capital Losses, and of each other item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit not less than the Minimum Sponsor Percentage.


 






  





55











  













(f)           If the Sponsor has a deficit balance in its Capital Account following a Series Termination Event and the liquidation of its Certificate (after giving effect to all contributions, distributions, allocations and other Capital Account adjustments for all Fiscal Years, including the Fiscal Year during which such liquidation occurs), the Sponsor will be treated, as obligated to restore the amount of such deficit balance to the Series Pool by the end of such Fiscal Year or, if later, within 90 days after the date of such liquidation, but only to the extent of the Sponsor’s legal obligations, if any, to Freddie Mac and other creditors of the Series Pool.


 


Section 11.06                                Tax Allocations; Code Section 704(c).  (a)  For federal income tax purposes, except as provided in this Section 11.06, each item of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit of the Series Pool will be allocated consistent with the allocations described in Sections 11.03 through 11.05.


 


(b)           If there is a difference between the adjusted tax basis of any Series Pool Asset and its fair market value when such asset was contributed to the Series Pool, allocations of gain or loss and amortization of bond premium with respect to such asset, as computed for tax purposes, will be made among the Holders in a manner which takes such difference into account in accordance with Section 704(c) of the Code and Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(i) of the Regulations.


 


(c)           All liabilities of the Series Pool (both recourse and nonrecourse) (including any reimbursement obligations under the Reimbursement Agreement) will be allocated to the Sponsor.  Excess nonrecourse liabilities, if any, will be allocated to the Sponsor.


 


(d)           Any elections or other decisions relating to such allocations will be made by Freddie Mac in any manner that reasonably reflects the purpose and intention of the Series Certificate Agreement. Allocations pursuant to this Section are solely for purposes of federal, state and local taxes and will not affect, or in any way be taken into account in computing, any Holder’s Capital Account or share of Profits, Capital Gains, Losses, Capital Losses, other items or distributions pursuant to any provision of the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Section 11.07                                Allocation Among Holders.  Except as otherwise provided, all amounts allocated to transferring Holders will be allocated among them in accordance with the interests held by each such Holder from time to time.  Subject to applicable Regulations, all items of income, gain, expense or loss that are allocated pursuant to this Article XI for a Fiscal Year allocable to any Certificates will be allocated between the transferor and the transferee based on an interim closing of the Series Pool’s books.

Section 11.08                                Tax Matters; Tax Election.  It is the intention of the parties that the Series Pool will be classified as a partnership for all federal, state and local tax purposes.  Each Holder and transferee of Certificates acknowledges that it will treat the Series Pool as a partnership for federal, State and local income tax purposes and that it intends and expects to be treated as a partner for such purposes.  No Person is authorized to elect under Section 301.7701-3(c) of the Regulations or any applicable State or local law to have the Series Pool classified as a corporation for federal or any applicable State or local income tax purposes.  Freddie Mac will have the discretion to make, or if necessary, to instruct the Administrator to take the necessary steps to make, a Monthly Closing Election on behalf of the Series Pool, in which case the Sponsor and each Holder of Certificates (by their purchase of Certificates) will be deemed to have consented to the Monthly Closing Election.  The Series Pool, the Sponsor and each Holder of Certificates (by their purchase of Certificates) agrees to comply with any special tax reporting requirements applicable to the Monthly Closing Election.  Additionally, Freddie Mac may at its discretion and to the extent permitted by applicable law, file a Section 761 Election to exclude the Series Pool from the application of all of the provisions of Subchapter K of Chapter 1 of the Code.  Each Holder, by virtue of acquiring a Certificate in a Series of Certificates, consents, pursuant to Section 761 of the Code, to the Section 761 Election.  The Sponsor will be liable for any penalties and interest on penalties imposed on the Series Pool relating to the Section 761 Election.  The parties hereto agree that Freddie Mac will not act as or be deemed to be a partner for federal, state or local tax purposes by virtue of its execution and delivery of the Liquidity Facility.  Freddie Mac agrees to timely file the necessary or appropriate elections and all tax returns and tax reports consistent with and based upon this Section 11.08 and neither Freddie Mac nor any Holder will take any position on any tax return or report or in any proceeding or audit which is inconsistent with this Section 11.08.


 


Section 11.09                                Accounting Method.  The Series Pool will compute its income on the accrual method of accounting.


 


Section 11.10                                Tax Matters Partner.  (a)  If Freddie Mac is one of the Holders of Class B Certificates or if permitted by applicable law, Freddie Mac will file any required federal, state or local tax returns for the Series Pool, and will act as the “Tax Matters Partner” for the Series Pool in the manner specified in the Regulations.  In any other case, the Holder of the Class B Certificates having the largest Current Class B Certificate Balance is designated as the partner responsible for filing such tax returns and as Tax Matters Partner for the Series Pool.  Such Holder, however, by its acceptance of its Class B Certificate, agrees to designate Freddie Mac as its agent and attorney-in-fact in the performance of all the duties required of, or permitted to be taken by, the partner responsible for filing such tax returns and the Tax Matters Partner for the Series Pool and, if requested by Freddie Mac, to execute a power of attorney to this effect.  Freddie Mac agrees to prepare such tax returns and, if permitted by applicable law, to sign and file such tax returns on behalf of the Series Pool.  To the extent required by law, Freddie Mac will provided Holders with copies of any such tax returns.  Freddie Mac will represent the Series Pool to the extent permitted by law in connection with any inquiry, examination or audit of the Series Pool affairs by tax authorities.


 


(b)           Each Registered Holder and Holder by acceptance of its Certificate agrees (i) to hold the Tax Matters Partner and Freddie Mac (and any officer, director, agent, employee, member, stockholder, or Affiliate of Freddie Mac) harmless from, and (ii) in connection with any action taken at the request of such Registered Holder or Holder, to indemnify the Tax Matters


 






  





57











  













Partner and Freddie Mac (and any officer, director, agent, employee, member, stockholder, or Affiliate of Freddie Mac) against, any actual out-of-pocket loss, liability, expense, damages or injury suffered, sustained or incurred to the extent that they are a direct result of any acts, omissions, or alleged acts or omissions arising out of the activities or actions of the Tax Matters Partner and Freddie Mac in connection with the performance of its duties as Tax Matters Partner or as agent or attorney-in-fact for the Tax Matters Partner, including but not limited to any penalties or interest thereon assessed under the Code or other applicable tax laws, judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses and other costs or expenses incurred in connection with the defense of any actual or threatened action, proceeding or claim, unless such acts, omissions or alleged acts or omissions constitute fraud, gross negligence, or willful misconduct by Freddie Mac and the Tax Matters Partner, respectively.


 


Section 11.11                                Compliance with Code Requirements.  The Administrator will comply with all requirements of the Code and other applicable tax laws with respect to the withholding from any payments made by it on any Certificates of any applicable back-up withholding taxes or other withholding taxes imposed thereon and with respect to any applicable information reporting requirements (e.g., Form 1099-B) in connection therewith; provided however, that with respect to any applicable withholding and reporting requirements relating to original issue discount or market discount, Freddie Mac will provide the Administrator with any calculations pertaining thereto.

ARTICLE XIII


 


TERMINATION







Section 13.01                                Termination. (a) The respective obligations of Freddie Mac, the Administrator, the Remarketing Agent and the Sponsor created under the Series Certificate Agreement will terminate (other than the obligation of the Administrator to enforce any remaining obligations of Freddie Mac under Section 4.11 and to make payment to the Holders, and except with respect to the duties and obligations set forth in Sections 3.04(a), 3.05, 3.09, 4.02(d), 11.08, 11.10, 11.11, 13.02(b) and 14.09, which will survive any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement) upon the earliest of the following events (each of which is a “Series Termination Event”):


 


(i)           the Series Expiration Date;


 


(ii)           the Exchange Date on which all Certificates are exchanged for either Bonds or sales proceeds in connection with a Tender Option Termination Event or a Liquidity Failure;


 


(iii)           the Mandatory Tender Date arising in connection with a Liquidity Provider Termination Event, a Clean-Up Event, or, if applicable, following a Sponsor Act of Bankruptcy (collectively, a “Terminating Mandatory Tender Date”); or


 






  





60











  













(iv)           the date on which the Optional Disposition Right has been exercised with respect to the last Class A Certificate (unless such Class A Certificate has been remarketed).


 


Any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement on the Series Expiration Date will be effected as provided in Section 13.02.  Any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement on the Exchange Date following the occurrence of a Tender Option Termination Event will be effected as provided in Sections 7.01 and 13.04.  Any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement on the Exchange Date following the occurrence of a Liquidity Failure will be effected as described in as provided in Sections 6.06(c)(iii), 13.01(b) and 13.04.  Any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement upon the occurrence of a Terminating Mandatory Tender Date will be effected as provided in Sections 13.01(b) and 13.03.  Any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement on the date on which the Optional Disposition Right has been exercised with respect to the last Class A Certificate described above will be effected as provided in Sections 7.05 and 13.01(b).  The Administrator will promptly provide notice to Freddie Mac, the Sponsor, the Remarketing Agent and each applicable Rating Agency of any Series Termination Event.


 


(b)           On the Exchange Date, the applicable Terminating Mandatory Tender Date, or the applicable Optional Disposition Date described in Section 13.01(a)(iv), (i) the amounts, if any, on deposit in the Bond Payment Subaccount—Interest, or Bond Payment Subaccount--Principal, to the extent not previously distributed, will be distributed to the Holders based on their respective Current Certificate Balances and in accordance with their positive Capital Account Balances, and (ii) the amount in the Bond Payment Subaccount – Holdback, will be distributed to the Holders of Class B Certificates.


 


(c)           So long as the Sponsor maintains the Minimum Sponsor Interest and a Series Termination Event has not occurred, the Series Pool will continue in full force and effect.  The Series Pool will not terminate prior to the occurrence of a Series Termination Event.


 


Section 13.02                                Final Distribution on the Series Expiration Date.  (a)  The Administrator will give written notice to the Holders of the pending termination of the obligations and responsibilities of Freddie Mac, the Administrator, the Remarketing Agent and the Sponsor under the Series Certificate Agreement when the Series Expiration Date occurs.  Such written notice will specify (i) the date on which the Administrator expects the final payment or distribution of principal will be made, but only upon presentation and surrender of such Certificates for cancellation at the principal office of the Administrator specified in such notice, (ii) the expected amount of such final payment or distribution, and (iii) that the Regular Record Date otherwise applicable with respect to such payment or distribution is not applicable, and that such payment or distribution will be made only to the Holders presenting and surrendering such Certificates at the principal office of the Administrator specified in such notice.


 


Even though a Certificate is surrendered when the final distribution of principal with respect to that Certificate is made, if interest or redemption premium with respect to such Certificate will be distributable pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement on a date after such final distribution of principal, the Administrator will make such distribution from amounts


 






  





61











  













deposited with respect to such interest or redemption premium in the related Distribution Account in accordance with the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


(b)           Even after the Series Certificate Agreement terminates on the Series Expiration Date, any funds not distributed to any Holder of Certificates on the Redemption Date established for the final distribution on such Certificates because of the failure of such Holder to tender its Certificates will, on such Redemption Date, be set aside and credited to the account of the applicable non-tendering Holder.  If any Certificates as to which notice of the pendency of the final distribution has been given as described in the second preceding paragraph have not been surrendered for cancellation within six months after the time specified in such notice, the Administrator will mail a second notice to the remaining non-tendering Holders to surrender their Certificates for cancellation in order to receive the final distribution with respect to their Certificates.  If within one year after the second notice all Certificates have not been surrendered for cancellation, the Administrator will, directly or through an agent, make a reasonable effort to contact the remaining non-tendering Holders concerning surrender of their Certificates.  The costs and expenses of maintaining the funds and of contacting such Holders will be paid out of the assets remaining in such funds prior to any distribution to such Holders.  If within two years after the second notice any Certificates have not been surrendered for cancellation, the Administrator will thereafter hold such amounts for the benefit of such Holders, subject to any applicable escheat statutes.  Any amounts held as described above will not be invested.

(A)           With respect to each Bond, the Administrator will sell a principal amount of such Bond equal to the portion of the Outstanding Bond Balance necessary to generate proceeds sufficient to pay any accrued and unpaid expenses of the Series Pool (including, but not limited to any Administrator Fee, Freddie Mac Fee, Administrator Advances, Daily Administrator Advance Charges and Remarketing Agent Fee), determined by multiplying the sum of such expenses by the ratio of the Outstanding Bond Balance to the Aggregate Outstanding Bond Balance; and


 


(B)           After completing the sale required pursuant to preceding clause (A), the Administrator will distribute each Bond, on a pari passu basis, to the Holders of Class A Certificates and the Holders of Class B Certificates as follows: (i) to the Holders of Class A Certificates, on a pro rata basis, the product of (A) the remaining Outstanding Bond Balance and (B) the ratio of their Current Certificate Balance to the Aggregate Outstanding Certificate Balance; and (ii) to the Holders of Class B Certificates, on a pro rata basis, the product of (A) the remaining Outstanding Bond Balance and (B) the ratio of their Current Certificate Balance to the Aggregate Outstanding Certificate Balance.

(Such an instrument is sometimes referred to in the Series Certificate Agreement as the “action” of the Holders signing such instrument).  Proof of execution of any such instrument, or of the appointment of any such agent, will be sufficient for any purpose of the Series Certificate Agreement and (subject to Section 10.01) conclusive in favor of the Administrator and Freddie Mac, if made in the manner provided in this Section.


 


(b)           Any action by the Holder of any Certificate will bind its successor Holder whether or not notation of such action is noted upon such Certificate.

Section 14.03                                Notices to Holders; Waiver. Unless otherwise specified, wherever the Series Certificate Agreement provides for notice to Registered Holders of any event, such notice will be deemed to be sufficiently given (whether or not received) if given by mail, first-class postage prepaid, to each Registered Holder at such Registered Holder’s address as it appears on the Certificate Register, not later than the latest date, and not earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.  In any case where notice to Registered Holders is given by mail, neither the failure to mail such notice, nor any defect in any notice so mailed, to any particular Registered Holder will affect the sufficiency of such notice with respect to any other Registered Holder, and any notice that is mailed in the manner provided in this Section will conclusively be presumed to have been properly given.  In addition, the Administrator will provide to the Registered Holders, upon the request of the Holders of Certificates, the names and contacts of the Holders that have been provided by the Remarketing Agent (to the extent that the Remarketing Agent can ascertain the identity of the beneficial owners without expense and through the use of commercially reasonable methods) and certain notices as prescribed by the Remarketing Agreement.


 


Section 14.04                                Successors and Assigns.  All covenants and agreements of Freddie Mac set forth in the Series Certificate Agreement will bind its successors and assigns.


 


Section 14.05                                Severability.  If any provision of the Series Certificate Agreement or the Certificates is determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.


 


Section 14.06                                Benefits of Series Certificate Agreement.  Nothing in the Series Certificate Agreement or in the Certificates, express or implied, will give to any Person, other than the parties to the Series Certificate Agreement and their successors, the Remarketing Agent and the Holders, any benefit of any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under the Series Certificate Agreement.

Section 14.07                                Governing Law.  The Series Certificate Agreement and each Certificate will be construed, and the rights and obligations of Freddie Mac and the Administrator under the Series Certificate Agreement will be 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 the Freddie Mac Act, the local law of the State of New York will be deemed reflective of Federal law.  The parties agree that any legal actions between Freddie Mac and the Administrator or the Holders regarding each party under the Series Certificate Agreement will 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 the Series Certificate Agreement.


 


Section 14.08                                Counterparts.  The Series Certificate Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which so executed will be deemed to be an original, but all such counterparts will together constitute but one and the same instrument.


 


Section 14.09                                Non-Petition Covenants.  The Administrator, in its individual capacity, agrees, and it is a condition to the appointment of any successor Administrator, co-Administrator or separate Administrator, and to the appointment of the Certificate Registrar, that the Person so appointed will agree, in its individual capacity, and the Sponsor agrees, that it will not, at any time, consent, petition or otherwise invoke the process of the United States, any state or other political subdivision thereof, or any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of, or pertaining to, government for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case by or against Freddie Mac or the Series Pool under a federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or for the appointment of a receiver of Freddie Mac or the Series Pool, or all or any part of their respective property or assets, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of Freddie Mac or the Series Pool.  Freddie Mac agrees that it will not, at any time, consent, petition or otherwise invoke the process of the United States, any state or other political subdivision thereof, or any entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of, or pertaining to, government for the purpose of commencing or sustaining a case by or against the Series Pool under a federal or state bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or for the appointment of a receiver of the Series Pool or all or any part of the Series Pool’s property or assets, or ordering the winding up or liquidation of the affairs of the Series Pool.  Each such agreement will survive any termination of the Series Certificate Agreement and the subsequent removal of such Person from its capacity under the Series Certificate Agreement.

1.         First Week = $100,000,000 times 2% divided by 365 times 7 = $38,356.16


2.         Second Week = $100,000,000 times 2.5% divided by 365 times 7 = $47,945.20


3.         Third Week = $100,000,000 times 2.3% divided by 365 times 7 = $44,109.58


So Available Interest Amount = $130,410.94


 


Example 2:


Same assumptions except that the Reset Date is a Monthly Reset Date in a 31 day month.


Interest accruals are the same.  Note that because we cannot determine the SIFMA for the last 10 days of the month, no additional accrued interest on the Bonds can be projected and taken into account.


So Available Interest Amount is the same as Example 1, or $130,410.94


 


Example 3:


Same assumptions except that the Reset Date is a Term Reset Date with a period of 6 months.


Interest accruals are the same as in Example 1.


So Available Interest Amount is the same as Example 1, or $130,410.94

This Maximum Reset Rate is determined in four steps.


 


STEP ONE:                      the Excess Accrued Net Interest Amount is determined, which is the excess of accrued interest on the underlying Bonds over the sum of interest on the Class A Certificates, in each case, for each prior day in the Accrual Period.


 


STEP TWO:                      the Excess Accrued Net Interest Amount is converted to an annual rate of interest (the Excess Accrued Net Interest Amount Rate) related to the Class A Certificates.  This excess rate is expressed as the variable “ER” in the following formula:


 


ER =            365/6          EA  


    D            CLA


where


D =           Number of calendar days during which a Reset Period will be in effect


EA =           Excess Accrued Net Interest Amount


CLA =                      Aggregate Outstanding Class A Certificate Balance


 


STEP THREE:  interest on the Bonds at the lowest Bond Rate is converted to an interest rate related to the Class A Certificates.  This converted rate is expressed in the following formula:


 


(LBRxBB)


    CLA


where


LBR =                      Lowest Bond Rate


BB =           Aggregate Outstanding Bond Balance


 


STEP FOUR:                                add the rates obtained in STEP TWO and STEP THREE.


 


The Maximum Reset Rate, if any of the Bonds are not fixed rate bonds, is equal to the product of (i) the quotient of the number of days in the year divided by the number of days in which a Reset Rate will be in effect times (ii) the quotient of (a) the Available Interest Amount minus the aggregate amount of interest accrued at the applicable Reset Rate on the Aggregate Outstanding Class A Certificate Balance for each preceding day in the Accrual Period divided by (b) the Aggregate Outstanding Class A Certificate Balance; provided however, that the Class A Certificates will never accrue more interest than the Available Interest Amount, regardless of any calculation previously made.  Unlike the formula for determining the Maximum Reset Rate where all Bonds are fixed rate Bonds, this calculation will apply to all Reset Rate Methods because the determination of the Available Interest Amount includes both accrued interest on the Bonds and Interest on the Bonds that will accrue over the balance of the applicable Reset Period, to the extent that amount is known.  This Maximum Reset Rate is expressed as the variable MRR(NFRB) in the following formula:5

  and $80,000,000 of Bonds are fixed rate bonds bearing interest at 6.8%


 


STEP ONE:                         the applicable Reset Period factor is 52.1428


STEP TWO:                         determine the Available Interest Amount


Interest accruals on Bonds

Prior to the purchase of any Class B Certificates, the Purchaser has reviewed the Series Certificate Agreement and the Offering Circular, and asked questions and received answers concerning the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Series Certificate Agreement and the Offering Circular and has

requested and obtained additional information deemed necessary to verify the accuracy and completeness of any information furnished to the Purchaser or to which the Purchaser has access.  The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a purchase of the Class B Certificates.  The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501(a) of Regulation D or a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A, both Rules promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”).


 


B.           The Purchaser (i) acknowledges that it will treat the Series Pool as a partnership for federal, state and local income tax purposes and that it intends and expects to be treated as a partner for such purposes and (ii) consents to all federal and other tax elections made on behalf of the Series Pool pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement.  The Purchaser acknowledges that no Person is authorized under Treas. Reg. Section 301.7701-3(c) or any applicable state or local law to have the Series Pool classified as a corporation for federal, state or local income tax purposes.  The Purchaser consents to an election under Revenue Procedure 2003-84 (or any successor Revenue Procedure or other guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service) to account for items of Series Pool tax-exempt income, taxable income (if any), gain, loss and deduction on the basis of a monthly closing of the books, and agrees to comply with the alternative reporting requirements prescribed by Revenue Procedure 2003-84, if such election is made by Freddie Mac.


 


C.           The Purchaser’s intention is to acquire the Class B Certificates for investment (a) for the Purchaser’s own account and not as a nominee or agent or (b) for resale to “accredited investors” in transaction exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act or for resale to “qualified institutional buyers” in transactions under Rule 144A promulgated under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144A”), and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any other distribution thereof (although it retains the right to resell, subject to the transfer restrictions set forth herein and in the Series Certificate Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement).


 


D.           The Purchaser acknowledges that the Class B Certificates are being purchased pursuant to an exemption under the 1933 Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the Purchaser’s investment intent (or intent to resell only in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the 1933 Act) as expressed herein and may not be transferred unless an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act and any applicable state “Blue Sky” or securities laws is available.  In addition, the Purchaser understands that the Class B Certificates have not been registered under the securities laws of any state.  The Purchaser agrees to comply with applicable restrictions on the transfer of the Class B Certificates contained and referred to herein, the Series Certificate Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement.

E.           The Purchaser is neither a “substantial user” nor a “related person” to a substantial user (within the meanings of Section 147(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and Section 103(b)(13) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954, as amended) of the property financed by a Bond held by the Series Pool or any Underlying Bond, as applicable.


 


F.           The Purchaser has had adequate opportunity to consult with legal, tax and investment advisors of its own choosing concerning its investment, and the Purchaser is not relying upon legal, tax or investment advice from the Administrator, the Sponsor or Remarketing Agent or any of their respective professionals or agents (provided the Purchaser is entitled to rely on the opinions delivered on the Date of Original Issue to the extent and with respect to the matters provided therein).  The Purchaser has relied on its own investigation of the Bonds, the Issuers of the Bonds, any underlying obligors, the security provided therefor, and acknowledges that no investigation has been made by the Administrator, the Sponsor or the Remarketing Agent in connection with (i) the offering of Certificates, (ii) the Bonds and (iii) the financial condition or creditworthiness of the Issuers or underlying obligors with respect to the Bonds.


 


G.           The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that pursuant to the Series Certificate Agreement and the Reimbursement Agreement Freddie Mac's prior written consent is required for any sale, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other transfer of the Purchaser's interest in the Class B Certificates or to grant any lien, security interest, options or other charges or encumbrances with respect to the Class B Certificates, and that unless a transfer or grant is made in accordance with the foregoing, such transfer or grant will be void ab initio with respect to the Purchaser and any transferee and the Purchaser will continue to be the Holder of the Class B Certificates.


 


H.           The foregoing representations, warranties and agreements are made by the Purchaser with the intent that they may be relied upon in determining its qualification and suitability to purchase Class B Certificates, and the Purchaser hereby agrees that such representations, warranties and agreements shall survive its purchase thereof, and that if any such representations, warranties or agreements are no longer accurate, it shall promptly notify the Administrator, the Remarketing Agent and the Sponsor.  The Purchaser hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Series Pool, the Sponsor, the Remarketing Agent, the Administrator and agents of each of them from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities, expenses (including attorneys’ reasonable fees and disbursements), judgments and amounts paid in settlement resulting from the untruth of any of the warranties and representations contained herein or the breach by the Purchaser of any of the covenants made by it herein.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, no representation, warranty, acknowledgment or agreement by the Purchaser made herein shall in any manner be deemed to constitute a waiver of any rights granted to it under Federal or state securities laws.

If this letter is signed by an investment adviser on behalf of one or more investment companies identified on Appendix A hereto (each a “Fund”), the investment adviser hereby represents and warrants that (i) each of the statements, agreements, covenants and representations and warranties herein are made on behalf of each such Fund and are true and correct, and (ii) the investment adviser is authorized to execute this letter on behalf of each Fund.
