If all applicable conditions precedent set forth in Article V have been satisfied on or prior to the Purchase Date, then subject to the foregoing, on the Purchase Date, Buyer shall remit the amount of the requested Purchase Price in U.S. Dollars and in immediately available funds to the Buyer Account.

The foregoing time requirements for satisfaction of a Margin Call are referred to as the “Margin Deadlines”.  The failure of Buyer, on any one or more occasions, to exercise its rights hereunder, shall not change or alter the terms and conditions to which this Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer to do so at a later date.  Seller and Buyer each agree that a failure or delay by Buyer to exercise its rights hereunder shall not limit or waive Buyer’s rights under this Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create additional rights for Seller.
		

		
			(c)        In the event that a Margin Deficit exists, Buyer may retain any funds received by it to which Seller would otherwise be entitled hereunder, which funds (i) may be held by Buyer against the related Margin Deficit or (ii) may be applied by Buyer against the Purchase Price.

			(i)         shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to this Agreement or the Transactions (excluding income taxes, branch profits taxes, franchise taxes or similar taxes imposed on Buyer as a result of any present or former connection between Buyer and the United States, other than any such connection arising solely from Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement) or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof;

If Seller shall be required under any applicable Requirement of Law to deduct or withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any sum payable under or in respect of this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements to Buyer (including for purposes of Section 2.10 and this Section 2.11, any assignee, successor or participant), (i) Seller shall make all such deductions and withholdings in respect of Taxes, (ii) Seller shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld in respect of Taxes to the relevant taxation authority or other Governmental Authority in accordance with any applicable Requirement of Law, and (iii) the sum payable by Seller shall be increased as may be necessary so that after Seller has made all required deductions and withholdings (including deductions and withholdings applicable to additional amounts payable under this Section 2.11) such Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions or withholdings been made in respect of Non-Excluded Taxes.  For purposes of this Agreement the term “Non-Excluded Taxes” are Taxes other than, in the case of Buyer, Taxes that are (i) imposed on its overall net income (and franchise taxes imposed in lieu thereof) by the jurisdiction under the laws of which such Buyer is organized or of its Applicable Lending Office, or any political subdivision thereof, unless such Taxes are imposed as a result of Buyer having executed, delivered or performed its obligations or received payments under, or enforced, this Agreement or any of the other Program Agreements (in which case such Taxes will be treated as Non-Excluded Taxes) and (ii) imposed pursuant to FATCA.
		

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

		
			(c)        Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer for, and to hold it harmless against, the full amount of Non-Excluded Taxes and Other Taxes, and the full amount of Taxes of any kind imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable by Seller under this Section 2.11 imposed on or paid by such Buyer and any liability (including penalties, additions to tax, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with respect thereto.  The indemnity by Seller provided for in this Section 2.11 shall apply and be made whether or not the Non-Excluded Taxes or Other Taxes for which indemnification hereunder is sought have been correctly or legally asserted.  Amounts payable by Seller under the indemnity set forth in this Section 2.11(c) shall be paid within ten (10) days from the date on which Buyer makes written demand therefor.
		

		
			(d)        Without prejudice to the survival of any other agreement of the Seller hereunder, the agreements and obligations of the Seller contained in this Section 2.11 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Program Agreements.

			(e)        Buyer will timely furnish Seller, or any agent of Seller, any tax forms or certifications (such as an applicable IRS Form W-8, IRS Form W-9 or any successors to such IRS forms) that it is legally entitled to provide and that Seller or its agents may reasonably request (A) to permit Seller or its agents to make payments to it without, or at a reduced rate of, deduction or withholding, (B) to enable Seller or its agents to qualify for a reduced rate of withholding or deduction in any jurisdiction from or through which Seller or its agents receive payments and (C) to enable Seller or its agents to satisfy reporting and other obligations under the Code and Treasury Regulations and under any other applicable laws, and shall update or replace such tax forms or certifications as appropriate or in accordance with their terms or subsequent amendments, and acknowledges that the failure to provide, update or replace any such tax forms or certifications may result in the imposition of withholding or back-up withholding upon payments to Buyer.
		

		
			Section 2.12       Indemnity.  Without limiting, and in addition to, the provisions of Section 10.02, the Seller agrees to indemnify the Buyer and to hold the Buyer harmless from any loss or expense that the Buyer may sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) a default by the Seller in payment when due of the Repurchase Price or Price Differential or (ii) a default by the Seller in making any prepayment of Repurchase Price after the Seller has given a notice thereof in accordance with Section 2.03.
		

		
			Section 2.13      Additional Balance.  In the event that Seller wishes an increase in the VFN Principal Balance, Seller shall deliver to Buyer a copy of the VFN Note Balance Adjustment Request that is delivered under the Indenture.

			(a)        Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, if a Seller Termination Option occurs, Seller may, upon five (5) Business Days’ prior written notice of such event, terminate this Agreement and the Termination Date shall be deemed to have occurred (upon the expiration of such five (5) Business Day period).
		

		
			(b)        In the event that a Seller Termination Option as described in clause (a) of the definition thereof has occurred and Seller has notified Buyer in writing of its option to terminate this Agreement, Buyer shall have the right to withdraw such request for payment within three (3)

Seller further agrees, at Buyer’s request, to assemble the Repurchase Assets and make it available to Buyer at places which Buyer shall reasonably select, whether at Seller’s premises or elsewhere.  Buyer shall apply the net proceeds of any such collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale, after deducting all reasonable (under the circumstances) out-of-pocket costs and expenses of every kind actually incurred therein or incidental to the care or safekeeping of any of the Repurchase Assets or in any way relating to the Repurchase Assets or the rights of Buyer hereunder, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, to the payment in whole or in part of the Obligations, in such order as Buyer may elect, and only after such application and after the payment by Buyer of any other amount required or permitted by any provision of law, including without limitation Section 9-615 of the Uniform Commercial Code, need Buyer account for the surplus, if any, to Seller.  To the extent permitted by applicable law, Seller waives all claims, damages and demands it may acquire against Buyer arising out of the exercise by Buyer of any of its rights hereunder, other than those claims, damages and demands arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Buyer.  If any notice of a proposed sale or other disposition of Repurchase Assets shall be required

Seller’s obligations set forth in this Section 10.02 shall survive any termination of this Agreement and each other Program Agreement and the payment in full of the Obligations, and are in addition to, and not in substitution of, any other of its obligations set forth in this Agreement or otherwise.  In addition, Seller shall, upon demand, pay to Buyer all costs and Expenses (including the reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel) paid or incurred by Buyer in (i) enforcing or defending its rights under or in respect of this Agreement or any other Program Agreement, (ii) collecting the Purchase Price outstanding, (iii) foreclosing or otherwise collecting upon any Repurchase Assets and (iv) obtaining any legal, accounting or other advice in connection with any of the foregoing.
		

		
			Section 10.03    Nonliability of Buyer.  The parties hereto agree that, notwithstanding any affiliation that may exist between Seller and Buyer, the relationship between Seller and Buyer shall be solely that of arms-length participants.  Buyer shall not have any fiduciary responsibilities to Seller.  Seller (i) agrees that Buyer shall not have any liability to Seller (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise) for losses suffered by Seller in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to, the transactions contemplated and the relationship established by this agreement, the other loan documents or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith or any act, omission or event occurring in connection therewith, unless it is determined by a judgment of a court that is binding on Buyer (which judgment shall be final and not subject to review on appeal), that such losses were the result of acts or omissions on the part of Buyer constituting gross negligence or willful misconduct and (ii) waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim against Buyer (whether sounding in tort, contract or otherwise), except a claim based upon gross negligence or willful misconduct.  Whether or not such damages are related to a claim that is subject to such waiver and whether or not such waiver is effective, Buyer shall not have any liability with respect to, and Seller hereby waives, releases and agrees not to sue upon any claim for, any special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages suffered by Seller in connection with, arising out of, or in any way related to the transactions contemplated or the relationship established by this Agreement, the other loan documents or any other agreement entered into in connection herewith or therewith or any act, omission or event occurring in connection herewith or therewith, unless it is determined by a judgment of a court that is binding on Buyer (which judgment shall be final and not subject to review on appeal), that such damages were the result of acts or omissions on the part of Buyer, as applicable, constituting willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Each provision and agreement herein shall be treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.  In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement or any other Program Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations, or of such provision or obligation in any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

			permitted during normal business hours, and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the ordinary conduct of Seller’s business, to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession or under the control of Seller.  Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions respecting the Purchased Assets.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into a Transaction related to any Purchased Assets from Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to Buyer in the Asset Schedule and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Assets related to a Transaction.  Seller agrees to cooperate with Buyer and any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Assets in the possession, or under the control, of Seller.
		

		
			Section 10.10    Hypothecation or Pledge of Repurchase Assets.  Buyer shall have free and unrestricted use of all Repurchase Assets and nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from engaging in repurchase transactions with all or a portion of the Repurchase Assets or otherwise pledging, repledging, transferring, hypothecating, or rehypothecating all or a portion of the Repurchase Assets; provided that prior to an Event of Default, such pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecation or rehypothecation is treated as a financing or hedging transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes or a pro rata interest in all payments due to Buyer under this Agreement; provided, further that other than with respect to a pro rata interest in all payments due to Buyer under this Agreement and prior to an Event of Default Buyer receives an opinion of a nationally recognized tax counsel experienced in such matters that such repurchase transaction, pledge, repledge, transfer, hypothecation or rehypothecation will not result in the Issuer being subject to tax on its net income as an association (or publicly traded partnership) taxable as a corporation or a taxable mortgage pool taxable as a corporation, each for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
		

		
			Section 10.11     Non-Confidentiality of Tax Treatment.
		

		
			(a)        This Agreement and its terms, provisions, supplements and amendments, and notices hereunder, are proprietary to Buyer or Seller, as applicable and shall be held by each party hereto, as applicable in strict confidence and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the written consent of Buyer or Seller, except for (i) disclosure to Buyer’s or Seller’s direct and indirect Affiliates and Subsidiaries, attorneys or accountants, but only to the extent such disclosure is necessary and such parties agree to hold all information in strict confidence, or (ii) disclosure required by law, rule, regulation or order of a court or other regulatory body.  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary contained herein or in any other Program Agreements, the parties hereto may disclose to any and all Persons, without limitation of any kind, the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, any fact relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) relating to such federal, state and local tax treatment and that may be relevant to understanding such tax treatment; provided that Seller may not disclose the name of or identifying information with respect to Buyer or any pricing terms (including, without limitation, the Pricing Rate, Purchase Price Percentage, Purchase Price and Commitment Fee) or other nonpublic business or financial information (including any sublimits) that is unrelated to the

			federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions and is not relevant to understanding the federal, state and local tax treatment of the Transactions, without the prior written consent of Buyer.
		

		
			(b)        Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall comply with all applicable local, state and federal laws, including, without limitation, all privacy and data protection law, rules and regulations that are applicable to the Repurchase Assets and/or any applicable terms of this Agreement (the “Confidential Information”).  Seller understands that the Confidential Information may contain “nonpublic personal information”, as that term is defined in Section 509(4) of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (the “GLB Act”), and Seller agrees to maintain such nonpublic personal information that it receives hereunder in accordance with the GLB Act and other applicable federal and state privacy laws.  Seller shall implement such physical and other security measures as shall be necessary to (a) ensure the security and confidentiality of the “nonpublic personal information” of the “customers” and “consumers” (as those terms are defined in the GLB Act) of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer which Seller holds, (b) protect against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of such nonpublic personal information, and (c) protect against any unauthorized access to or use of such nonpublic personal information.  Seller represents and warrants that it has implemented appropriate measures to meet the objectives of Section 501(b) of the GLB Act and of the applicable standards adopted pursuant thereto, as now or hereafter in effect.  Upon request, Seller will provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to allow Buyer to confirm that the providing party has satisfied its obligations as required under this Section 10.11.  Without limitation, this may include Buyer’s review of audits, summaries of test results, and other equivalent evaluations of Seller.  Seller shall notify Buyer immediately following discovery of any breach or compromise of the security, confidentiality, or integrity of nonpublic personal information of the customers and consumers of Buyer or any Affiliate of Buyer provided directly to Seller by Buyer or such Affiliate.  Seller shall provide such notice to Buyer by personal delivery, by facsimile with confirmation of receipt, or by overnight courier with confirmation of receipt to the applicable requesting individual.
		

		
			Section 10.12     Set-off.  In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer hereunder and by law, Buyer shall have the right, without prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by Seller to the extent permitted by applicable law to set-off and appropriate and apply against any Obligation from Seller or any Affiliate thereof to Buyer or any of its Affiliates any and all deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other obligation (including to return funds to Seller), credits, indebtedness or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by or due from Buyer or any Affiliate thereof to or for the credit or the account of Seller or any Affiliate thereof.  Buyer agrees promptly to notify Seller after any such set off and application made by Buyer; provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set off and application.
		

		
			Section 10.13     Intent.
		

		
			(a)        The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended and a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code,
		

		
			
		

		
			


		 


		

			-50-

		








		

			 

		





		

		
			 
		

		
			as amended and that all payments hereunder are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments” as defined in Title 11 of the United States Code.
		

		
			(b)        It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Assets delivered to it in connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Section 7.03 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in Sections 555 and Section 561 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
		

		
			(c)        The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition inapplicable).
		

		
			(d)        It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA).
		

		
			(e)        This Agreement is intended to be a “securities contract,” within the meaning of Section 555 under the Bankruptcy Code, and a “master netting agreement,” within the meaning of Section 561 under the Bankruptcy Code.
		

		
			(f)        It is the intention of the parties that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes and for accounting purposes, each Transaction constitute a financing, and that Seller be (except to the extent that Buyer shall have exercised its remedies following an Event of Default) the owner of the Purchased Assets for such purposes.  Unless prohibited by applicable law, Seller and Buyer shall treat the Transactions as described in the preceding sentence (including on any and all filings with any U.S. federal, state, or local taxing authority and agree not to take any action inconsistent with such treatment).
