Provider, pursuant to separate Participating Financial Institution Agreements (“PFI
Agreements”) with each participating member;

     WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank wishes (i) to fund Mortgage Loans through its own members who

develop an appropriate interface or method for receiving reports from the MPF Provider. Data
regarding the Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs and the Mortgage Loans the Pittsburgh Bank has funded or

MPF Provider uses to process the MPF Provider’s MPF Program data. The MPF
Provider intends toupdate this system as it deems necessary to keep the system operating in a commercially
reasonable manner.

       4.2.
Deliverables. The MPF Provider shall provide the following reports, inquiry
capabilities, and electronic data transmission to the Pittsburgh Bank or its PFIs, as
applicable:

     4.2.1. PFI Reports. Subject to the timely receipt of accurate data from the

Bank’s PFIs as the MPF Provider supplies to the MPF Provider’s PFIs. These reports are
generally described in the Guides. Any supplemental reports will be made available to
the Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs in the same way that they are made available to the
MPF Provider’s PFIs.

     4.2.2. Management Reports. The MPF Provider shall provide such reports
to the Pittsburgh Bank as are described and with the frequency set forth in the FHLB Guide.

     4.2.3. On-Line Inquiry. Access to certain information in the MPF

unforeseen circumstances.

     4.2.6. Penalties For Delayed Implementation. The MPF Provider shall make all
the capabilities described in Sections 4.1. and 4.2. available for testing by the Pittsburgh Bank

person or telephonically.

     4.3.2. Customized Enhancements. For the first six (6) months after the
Pittsburgh Bank’s first Mortgage Loan is funded or purchased through the MPF Program

will reimburse the MPF Provider for the MPF Provider’s costs and expenses to
develop any Customized Enhancements as provided for in the FHLB Guide, such payment to be made
by the MPF Provider debiting the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account. The MPF Provider

MPF Provider shall use its best efforts to develop Customized Enhancements for not
more than the estimated cost and within the expected time frame. However, the MPF Provider

be developed, what the final cost will be or how long it may take to do so. The Pittsburgh
Bank may request the MPF Provider to cease development of Customized Enhancements
at any time but shall remain liable for all costs and expenses (including uncancellable
contracts) incurred by the MPF Provider up to the date it receives such request to
cease its development activities. Any Customized Enhancement with an estimated cost greater
than $50,000 shall be developed pursuant to a separate development agreement between
the MPF Provider and the Pittsburgh Bank.

     4.3.3. Reimbursement by Other FHLBs. If, during any Term of this Agreement,
other FHLBs adopt any Customized Enhancements paid for by the Pittsburgh Bank, the
Pittsburgh Bank will be reimbursed for a portion of the development costs of such Customized
Enhancements in accordance with the following formula:

RA = (CE x 1.15) / Participating FHLBs

In the above formula, “RA” means the reimbursement amount due from each FHLB that adopts the
Customized Enhancements; “CE” means the cost of the Customized Enhancement; and
“Participating FHLBs” means the number of FHLBs participating in the MPF Program at the time
of the development request (including the Pittsburgh Bank and the MPF Provider).
Customized Enhancements shall no longer be considered “Customized Enhancements” on the third
anniversary of their acceptance by the MPF Bank that requested such enhancements.

ARTICLE V

PARTICIPATION IN MPF PROGRAM

       5.1
MPF Provider
to Act as Custodian for MPF Program Loans.

       (a) The MPF Provider shall act as the custodian for the Pittsburgh Bank with respect
to all Mortgage Loans funded or purchased by the Pittsburgh Bank pursuant to the MPF
Program. The MPF Provider may discharge this duty by entering into a custody agreement (a
“Custody Agreement”) with Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. or any other entity which the MPF
Provider deems qualified to act as the Custodian. The Custodian shall at all times be a federal or
state chartered bank or trust company authorized to transact business in all applicable
jurisdictions, and maintain customary fidelity and other insurance in connection with the performance of its
obligations under the Custody Agreement and, upon request, provide an officer’s certificate
certifying that such policy or coverage is in full force and effect. The MPF Provider
shall have direct and primary responsibility to the Pittsburgh Bank for the performance of the duties of
the Custodian under the Custody Agreement.

       (b) The MPF Provider shall perform or cause the Custodian to perform the following
custodial duties for the Pittsburgh Bank’s Program Loans, which shall be done in compliance
with the provisions of the PFI Agreements and the incorporated Guides:

(i) To hold the Mortgage Loan Documents and any other documents or papers
relating to the Mortgage Loans which come into the Custodian’s possession (the
“Custodial Files”) for the benefit of, and as an agent for and bailee of, the
Pittsburgh Bank and to maintain continuous custody of all Custodial Files in
accordance with customary standards for such custody;

(ii) To review the documents received with respect to a Mortgage Loan to determine whether they comply
with the requirements of the Origination Guide;

- 11 -

 

 

(iii) To work with the applicable PFI to resolve any exceptions to said requirements;

(iv) To provide exception reports and status reports regarding Mortgage Loan
Documents as provided for in the FHLB Guide;

(v) Upon the payment in full or the purchase or repurchase by a PFI of a
Mortgage Loan, or as needed for servicing or foreclosure purposes, to release the
Mortgage Loan Documents to the Servicer or notify the Servicer that the
Mortgage Loan Documents are no longer held by the Custodian; and

(vi) To maintain or cause the Custodian to maintain customary fidelity and
other insurance in connection with the performance of the obligations under the
Custody Agreement and, upon request, to provide an officer’s certificate
certifying that such policy or coverage is in full force and effect.

As part of its custodial duties hereunder, the MPF Provider, for the benefit of the
Pittsburgh Bank, shall use its best efforts to enforce the obligations of the Custodian under the
Custody Agreement. Such enforcement shall be in such form and carried out to such an extent and at
such time as the MPF Provider, in its good faith business judgment, would require if it
were the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the terms of any Custody Agreement,
no delegation of custodial obligations to the Custodian pursuant to such Custody Agreement shall
relieve the MPF Provider from its custodial obligations hereunder, and the MPF Provider shall
remain obligated and primarily liable to the Pittsburgh Bank for the custody of the Mortgage Loans
in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.

     (c) In the event that the Custodian fails to produce a Mortgage Loan Document that
was in its possession pursuant to the Custody Agreement when requested by the Servicer, and
provided that (i) the Custodian previously acknowledged in writing that it had possession of
such Mortgage Loan Document, (ii) such Mortgage Loan Document is not outstanding pursuant to a
prior request for release from the Servicer, and (iii) such Mortgage Loan Document was held by
the Custodian on behalf of the Pittsburgh Bank (a “Custodial Delivery Failure”), then the MPF
Provider shall, with respect to any missing Mortgage Loan Document, furnish or cause the
Custodian to furnish a lost Mortgage Loan Document affidavit in a form reasonably satisfactory
to the Pittsburgh Bank and to indemnify (such indemnification to survive any termination of
the Custody Agreement) the Pittsburgh Bank and the Servicer, and their respective designees,
harmless against any and all direct liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, costs, expenses or disbursements, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, that
may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against it or them in any way relating to or arising
out of such Custodial Delivery Failure, provided that neither the MPF Provider nor the Custodian
shall be liable for consequential damages.

     (d) The MPF Provider shall immediately forward from the Custodian, or cause the
Custodian to deliver to the Pittsburgh Bank, periodic reconciliation reports applicable to the
Pittsburgh Bank’s Program Loans regarding Mortgage Loan Documents received and the status
of requests for unreconciled or missing documents as provided in the FHLB Guide. The
Custodian shall acknowledge that it holds the Mortgage Loan Documents pertaining to Mortgage
Loans owned or held by the Pittsburgh Bank which come into its possession for the benefit of
the

- 12 -

 

 

Pittsburgh Bank, and shall dispose of the same only in accordance with instructions
furnished by the MPF Provider on behalf of the Pittsburgh Bank. The Custodian shall not,
however, be required to verify the validity, sufficiency or genuineness of any Mortgage Loan
Document. Upon request of the Pittsburgh Bank from time to time, the MPF Provider shall cause the
Custodian to provide to the Pittsburgh Bank a list of all Mortgage Loans for which the Custodian
holds Mortgage Loan Documents pursuant to the Custody Agreement.

     5.2

as Master Servicer for
MPF Program Loans.

     (a) The MPF Provider shall act as the master servicer for the Pittsburgh Bank with
respect to all Mortgage Loans funded or purchased by the Pittsburgh Bank pursuant to the
MPF Program. The MPF Provider may discharge this duty by entering into a master servicing
agreement (a “Master Servicing Agreement”) with Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. or any other
entity which the MPF Provider deems qualified to act as the Master Servicer. Subject
to the provisions of Section 5.6., the MPF Provider shall have direct and primary responsibility to
the Pittsburgh Bank for the performance of the duties of the Master Servicer under the Master
Servicing Agreement.

     (b) The MPF Provider shall perform or cause to be performed the following master
servicing duties, which shall be done in compliance with the provisions of the Servicing
Agreements, and the incorporated Guides:

(i) To supervise, monitor and oversee the servicing of the Mortgage Loans
and the performance of each Servicer of its services, duties and obligations under
the Servicing Guide;

(ii) To receive and review all reports and data that are provided and are
deliverable under the Servicing Guide by each Servicer;

(iii) To cause the Master Servicer to use reasonable efforts to enforce the
obligations of the Servicers under each of the Servicing Agreements;

(iv) To collect information, reconcile such information with each Servicer, and
submit reports pertaining to the Mortgage Loans and any funds due with respect
thereto, to the Pittsburgh Bank as provided for in the FHLB Guide;

(v) To consult with the Pittsburgh Bank and recommend corrective action to
be taken relative to any Servicer that fails to comply with the terms and conditions
of the applicable Servicing Agreement and the Servicing Guide with respect to
defaulted Mortgage Loans or the property encumbered as security for Mortgage
Loans;

(vi) To deliver annually an officer’s certificate of the MPF Provider or an
officer of the Master Servicer, certifying as the signer thereof that: the master servicing
activities during the preceding calendar year have been reviewed under such
officer’s supervision; to the best of such officer’s knowledge, the responsibilities
and obligations of the Master Servicer have been performed throughout the year,
or, if there has been a default, specifying each such default known to such officer
and the nature and status thereof; and that nothing came to such officer’s attention

- 13 -

 

 

that indicated the Master Servicer was not in compliance with the provisions
of the Master Servicing Agreement;

(vii) To notify the Pittsburgh Bank in the event a Servicer has defaulted under
the Servicing Agreement or the Servicing Guide and to advise the Pittsburgh Bank of
its recommended response to the default;

(viii) To maintain or cause the Master Servicer to maintain customary fidelity
and other insurance in connection with the performance of the obligations under the
Master Servicing Agreement and, upon request, to provide an officer’s certificate
certifying that such policy or coverage is in full force and effect; and

(ix) To make its books and records relating to the services performed under the Master
Servicing Agreement or those of the Master Servicer accessible for inspection and
copying by the supervisory agents and examiners of the Finance Board and by the
Pittsburgh Bank at any time during normal business hours.

As part of its master servicing duties hereunder, the MPF Provider, for the benefit of the
Pittsburgh Bank, shall use its best efforts to enforce the obligations of the Master Servicer under
the Master Servicing Agreement. Such enforcement shall be in such form and carried out to such an
extent and at such time as the MPF Provider, in its good faith business judgment, would require if
it were the owner of the related Mortgage Loans. Notwithstanding the MPF Provider’s delegation of
master servicing obligations to the Master Servicer pursuant to the Master Servicing Agreement, the
MPF Provider shall not be relieved from its master servicing obligations hereunder, and
the MPF Provider shall remain obligated and primarily liable to the Pittsburgh Bank for the master
servicing of the Mortgage Loans in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, provided,
however, that the MPF Provider shall have no liability arising from or related to its master
servicing obligations under Sections 5.1 and 5.2, except for any such liability resulting from the
MPF Provider’s or Master Servicer’s negligence or willful misconduct.

     5.3.
Ancillary Support Services of the Program Loans by the MPF Provider.

     (a) The MPF Provider shall provide ancillary support services with respect to the
Program Loans being administered under the MPF Program. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, the MPF Provider will provide to the Pittsburgh Bank the specific ancillary support
services relating to the MPF Program set forth in this Article V and the FHLB Guide.

     (b) The MPF Provider represents and warrants to the Pittsburgh Bank that (i) the
software used by the MPF Provider in providing ancillary support services with
respect to the Program Loans being administered under the MPF Program (the “Servicing Software”)
will operate prior to, during and after December 31, 1999 without error relating to date data,
including without limitation, date data which represents different centuries or more than one
century, (ii) the Servicing Software will not operate abnormally or provide invalid or
incorrect results as a result of date data representing different centuries or more than one century,
(iii) the Servicing Software is designed to ensure year 2000 capability, including without limitation,
date data recognition, calculations which accommodate same century and multi-century formulas and
data values, and date data interface values that reflect the century, (iv) the Servicing
Software will accurately and correctly manage and manipulate data involving dates, including single

- 14 -

 

 

century formulas and multi-century formulas, and will not cause an abnormally functioning or
ending scenario within the application or generate incorrect values or invalid results involving
such dates, and (v) the Servicing Software will accurately process date/time data from, into and
between the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, and the years 1999 and 2000, and will accurately
perform leap year calculations during and for the twentieth and twenty-first century, including the
leap year 2000. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, the MPF
Provider’s liability under this Section 5.3. (b) shall be limited to direct compensatory damages
and in no event shall the MPF Provider be liable under this Section 5.3. (b) for consequential or
punitive damages (except for willful misconduct or gross negligence on the part of the MPF
Provider).

     (c) The MPF Provider shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Pittsburgh Bank such
monthly and other periodic reports relating to all Mortgage Loans for which the MPF
Provider is providing ancillary support services for the account of the Pittsburgh Bank,
containing categories of information and in such format and at such intervals to allow the
Pittsburgh Bank to reasonably prepare its required financial and regulatory reports, the specific
requirements of which shall be set forth in the FHLB Guide.

     5.4. Selection of Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs. The Pittsburgh Bank shall determine those
of its members through which it will fund Mortgage Loans or from which it will purchase
Mortgage Loans pursuant to the MPF Program, and shall enter into a PFI Agreement with
each such member in the form provided by the MPF Provider, subject only to modifications
agreed to in writing by the parties hereto and the parties thereto. The MPF Provider reserves the right
to revise the form of the PFI Agreement from time to time. The Pittsburgh Bank shall use the most
current form of PFI Agreement as supplied to it by the MPF Provider when executing a PFI
Agreement with a member. Any changes to the form of the PFI Agreement must be approved in
writing by the MPF Provider prior to the execution of the agreement by the Pittsburgh
Bank (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld).

     5.5. Creditworthiness of PFIs. The Pittsburgh Bank shall be responsible for evaluating
the creditworthiness of each of its PFIs to provide the credit enhancement required of a PFI
under the MPF Program. The Pittsburgh Bank understands and acknowledges that the
performance of each PFI is a risk incident to originating or purchasing Loans pursuant to the MPF
Program, and that the profitability of such investments is contingent, in part, on the creditworthiness of
the PFIs it selects to do business with under the MPF Program.

     5.6. Training of Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs. The Pittsburgh Bank shall be responsible for
training the personnel of its PFIs to enable them to participate in the MPF Program
as Originators, sellers and servicers in accordance with the Guides. The Pittsburgh Bank shall provide
adequate personnel to provide such PFI training. Subject to the limitation in Section 3.1.1, the
MPF Provider shall assist the Pittsburgh Bank in designing and organizing its PFI training
program,as requested by the Pittsburgh Bank at a cost of $750 per day plus travel and lodging expenses of
the MPF Provider’s employees. All PFI training materials shall be approved by the MPF
Provider. In the event a Pittsburgh Bank PFI fails to service Program Loans in accordance with
the Guides, then to the extent that such servicing problems are not attributable to the Master
Servicer, and

- 15 -

 

 

provided that the MPF Provider first consults with the Pittsburgh Bank regarding such
servicing breach, the Pittsburgh Bank shall pay the MPF Provider for the time spent by
the MPF Provider’s staff in resolving such problems at a rate of $750 per day plus
travel expenses, if any.

     5.7.
MPF Program Materials.The MPF Provider may revise the form of
the PFI Agreements, the Guides or any other MPF Program document at any time, provided that,
when appropriate, the effective date of changes to the Guides shall be delayed to allow for the
distribution of such changes to all MPF Banks’ participating members. The MPF
Provider shall send revisions to the Guides to the Pittsburgh Bank in advance of sending them directly to the
Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs.

     5.8. Support of Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs. The MPF Provider shall be responsible
for providing operational support to all MPF Banks’ participating members by establishing an MPF
Program Service Center (“Service Center”) that can be reached by means of toll-free telephone
and facsimile numbers and which will be staffed by MPF Provider personnel during such hours as
may be agreed to by the parties from time to time. The MPF Provider shall ensure that
the Service Center is adequately staffed to fully service the Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs in a commercially
reasonable manner and with no less service than the MPF Provider is providing to its
own participating members.

     5.9. Execution and Terms of Master Commitments. Upon delivery by a PFI of an
estimate of the number, characteristics and dollar amount of Mortgage Loans it will originate
for or sell to the Pittsburgh Bank during the term of a proposed Master Commitment, the Pittsburgh
Bank will establish the Spread Account percentage, the Maximum Credit Enhancement Amount,
the credit enhancement fee and the servicing fee for that Master Commitment in accordance with
the Guides. Upon execution of a Master Commitment, the Pittsburgh Bank will provide timely
notification of the Master Commitment to the Service Center whose personnel will then enter it
into the MPF Program system in accordance with the Guides.

     5.10. Delivery Commitments, Pricing and Quality Control.

     5.10.1. Delivery Commitments. The MPF Provider’s Service Center will
publish Rate and Fee Schedules for Agency Loans as provided for in the Guides which will be
made available to the Pittsburgh Bank and its PFIs. Rate and Fee Schedules for Closed Loans
shall be calculated by the MPF Provider for each Delivery Commitment when the
Mortgage Loans have been analyzed and a settlement date has been agreed upon by the
Pittsburgh Bank and its PFI and communicated to the MPF Provider. Rate and Fee
Schedules are subject to change as provided for in the Guides. The Pittsburgh Bank’s PFIs
will contact the Service Center to obtain and fill Delivery Commitments. The Service Center
will provide regular reports of all Delivery Commitment activities of the Pittsburgh Bank’s
PFIs to the Pittsburgh Bank, either electronically or by facsimile, including, without
limitation, all requests for funding of individual Mortgage Loans made by Pittsburgh Bank’s
PFIs. The Pittsburgh Bank shall fund all Mortgage Loans originated by its PFIs in accordance
with the requirements of the Guides. The Service Center will compute any Pairoff Fees
(defined in the Guides) that are owed to the

- 16 -

 

 

Pittsburgh Bank and will report these amounts to the Pittsburgh Bank. The Pittsburgh Bank shall be
responsible for collecting Pairoff Fees from its PFIs.

     5.10.2. Pricing of Mortgage Loans. Pursuant to the delegation of pricing authority
established by the Finance Board in Resolution No. 98-41, dated September 23, 1998, the
Pittsburgh Bank has elected to utilize the pricing methodology developed by the MPF
Provider. Thus, the MPF Provider shall be responsible for the calculation and publication
of the prices applicable to both Agency Loans and Closed Loans.

     5.10.3. Quality Control and Loss Mitigation. The MPF Provider will perform,
or cause to be performed, the same level of quality control review for the Pittsburgh Bank’s
Mortgage Loans as it performs, or has performed, for its own Mortgage Loans and will
communicate the results of its quality control activities promptly to the persons
designated by the Pittsburgh Bank to receive such reports. The MPF Provider will review
the servicing and loss mitigation oversight of the Pittsburgh Bank’s Mortgage Loans in
the same manner as it reviews the servicing and loss mitigation oversight of its own
Mortgage Loans and will provide the Pittsburgh Bank with prompt reports of its reviews.
The Pittsburgh Bank will be responsible for managing the performance of its PFIs to
assure a commercially reasonable standard of performance in the origination and
servicing of Mortgage Loans under the MPF Program, including the performance of loss
mitigation oversight. Neither the MPF Provider nor any of its shareholders,
directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the Pittsburgh Bank for any obligation,
undertaking, act or judgment of any PFI. The obligation of the Pittsburgh Bank to
manage its PFIs’ performance of these activities with respect to Mortgage Loans in the
MPF Program shall survive termination of this Agreement.

     5.11. Transactional Relationships.

     5.11.1. Maintenance of an Account at the MPF Provider. The Pittsburgh Bank
will establish and maintain the Clearing Account with the MPF Provider.

     5.11.2. Funding of Pittsburgh Bank’s Share of Expenses. The Pittsburgh Bank
will fund the Clearing Account sufficiently from time to time upon demand of the MPF
Provider. The Pittsburgh Bank hereby consents to the MPF Provider withdrawing funds
from such account from time to time to satisfy the Pittsburgh Bank’s obligations to pay
its obligations under this Agreement (whether or not the particular provision of this
Agreement makes reference to such right of the MPF Provider to effect such
satisfaction by withdrawal from the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account, and whether or not any such
withdrawal shall cause the balance in the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account to become
negative).

     5.11.3. Interest on Clearing Account. The MPF Provider will credit to the
Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account interest on the outstanding balance thereof from time
to time at the rate of interest customarily paid by the MPF Provider on its DID
accounts from time to time (the “DID Rate”).

- 17 -

 

 

     5.11.4. Overdrafts. In the event that any withdrawal from the Pittsburgh
Bank’s Clearing Account shall cause the balance in such account to become negative, such
deficit shall be deemed a loan from the MPF Provider to the Pittsburgh Bank,
payable upon demand and bearing interest at the overdraft rate established by the MPF
Provider for all its DID accounts.

	5.12.  	Relationship of the Parties; Restrictions on Transfers. The MPF Provider
is not an agent of the Pittsburgh Bank except with respect to its obligations in Sections 5.1.
and 5.2., and the MPF Provider shall have no fiduciary obligations to the Pittsburgh
Bank except with respect to its custodial duty as provided in Section 5.1., and the Pittsburgh
Bank shall have no fiduciary obligations to the MPF Provider except with respect to
the obligations of Pittsburgh Bank set forth in Section 7.4.(c) of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pittsburgh Bank acknowledges that it will not sell or
transfer any of its Program Loans or its rights under this Agreement, or any portion of any
thereof or any interest in any thereof, except (i) to another FHLB, (ii) to an institutional
third party investor approved of in writing by the MPF Provider, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld, or (iii) to the PFIs providing the credit enhancement for such
Mortgage Loans, provided, however, that for sales or transfers under clauses (i) and (ii), the
Pittsburgh Bank shall continue to monitor the creditworthiness of its PFIs and, when
appropriate to protect the interests of the holders of the Mortgage Loans, demand and hold
collateral to secure any of its PFI’s obligations under their respective PFI Agreements.
Without limiting the foregoing, if the Pittsburgh Bank elects to transfer participations other
than on a Master Commitment basis in its Program Loans, the MPF Provider will
continue to provide reports defined by Master Commitment and the Pittsburgh Bank shall be
responsible for any additional reporting necessitated by such participations. Further, the
parties acknowledge that (i) the method for obtaining a security interest in a PFI’s assets
under the PFI Agreement is by the incorporation by reference into that document of the PFI’s
Advances, Collateral Pledge and Security Agreement executed with the Pittsburgh Bank (the
“Security Agreement”), and (ii) pursuant to the Security Agreement, all collateral subject to
the security interest created thereby secures all the obligations of a PFI to the Pittsburgh
Bank on a pari passu basis, including the credit enhancement and other obligations arising
under the PFI Agreement and the obligation to repay advances made by the Pittsburgh Bank,
unless (x) collateral is specifically pledged to secure the PFI’s credit enhancement
obligations under the PFI Agreement or some other specific obligation, and (y) the MPF
Provider is notified of the specific collateral pledge, in which case, the specifically
pledged collateral will first secure the specifically collateralized obligation.

5.13. Use of Intellectual Property.

  (a) The MPF Provider hereby licenses to the Pittsburgh Bank the limited
right to use the trademarks “MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE” and “MPF”
(individually, a “Mark” and together, the “Marks”) subject to the following terms and
conditions:

- 18 -

 

 

     (i) The term of this license shall be the same as this Agreement. Upon
termination of this license, all rights in and to the Marks shall automatically revert to
the MPF Provider.

     (ii) When using either of the Marks in any external communications, including
letters, agreements, program descriptions and marketing materials, the Pittsburgh Bank
agrees to adhere to the standards governing the use of the Marks set forth in the FHLB
Guide.

     (iii) The MPF Provider reserves the right to inspect or monitor the
use of the Marks and the services provided in connection with the Marks to assure
compliance with this Agreement and the FHLB Guide.

     (iv) The Pittsburgh Bank hereby recognizes the value of the goodwill
associated with the Marks and acknowledges that all rights in and to the Marks belong
exclusively to the MPF Provider and that the Marks may have acquired secondary
meaning in the mind of the public. The Pittsburgh Bank agrees, during the term of this
Agreement and thereafter, never to attack or assist any one else in attacking the
rights of the MPF Provider in the Marks or the validity of the license of the Marks
being granted herein.

     (b) Should the Pittsburgh Bank elect the option to use the MPF System as
provided in Section 7.3.2., prior to such use of the MPF Provider’s proprietary
intellectual property, the Pittsburgh Bank shall execute a licensing agreement in form
customary in the software industry, and on terms reasonably satisfactory to the MPF
Provider.

grant to the MPF Provider a 100% participation in all the Agency Loans funded

to exercise this Liquidity Option (“Designated Loans”). The MPF Provider hereby
agrees to acquire a 100% participation in the Designated Loans designated by the Pittsburgh

prior breach or violation of its obligations under this Agreement nor for any obligations
that survive termination of this Agreement. If, upon the Pittsburgh Bank’s discontinuance of
the MPF Program or the expiration of the Term of this Agreement, the aggregate amount of the
Pittsburgh Bank’s Program Loans does not exceed $100 Million, then the Pittsburgh Bank shall
have the right, but not the obligation, to sell its Program Loans to the MPF Provider at the

to the FHLB Guide, the Servicing Guide and any other bulletins or items issued to servicers
under the MPF Program to the Pittsburgh Bank and its PFIs servicing outstanding Program
Loans until such time as all of the Pittsburgh Bank’s Program Loans are repaid or otherwise
removed from the MPF Program (which obligation shall survive termination or
expiration of this Agreement).

       7.1.3. Transfers of Required Acquisitions. Nothing in this Agreement shall
limit the right of the MPF Provider to transfer participation interests in Program

party fails to perform its obligations or breaches any of its covenants under this Agreement and
such failure to perform or breach is not cured (i) within sixty (60) days from the date the non-
breaching party gives written notice of such default, if the default is capable of being cured
within such time limit, or (ii) within a reasonable time after the expiration of the sixty (60) day

-22-

 

period following notice, if the default is not capable of being cured within sixty (60) days

Event. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default caused by the MPF Provider or
a Termination Event, the Pittsburgh Bank shall have the right to cease issuing new Master

shall apply and shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement. The Pittsburgh Bank

Provider that the

-24-

 

creditworthiness of its PFIs will have been evaluated in connection with the credit
enhancements provided for any and all Program Loans which it may sell or participate to the
MPF Provider under the terms of this Agreement, in the same way as it evaluates the
creditworthiness of its PFIs to extend advances.

     (b) The provisions of this Section 7.4. apply to any and all Program Loans the
Pittsburgh Bank sells to the MPF Provider. The Pittsburgh Bank hereby acknowledges that the
MPF Provider has the need to have the credit enhancement obligations of any
Pittsburgh Bank PFI relating to purchased Program Loans secured if the creditworthiness of
such Pittsburgh Bank PFI should become impaired. To assist the MPF Provider in
ascertaining the creditworthiness of Pittsburgh Bank PFIs, the Pittsburgh Bank agrees to
notify the MPF Provider of any adverse changes in the financial condition of those
PFIs who provide credit enhancements for any sold Program Loans and to share relevant credit
assessments and information on those PFI with the MPF Provider.

     (c) Upon the request of the MPF Provider, the Pittsburgh Bank agrees to call, hold and
monitor such collateral of a Pittsburgh Bank PFI for the benefit of the MPF
Provider, except when prohibited by law. In addition, the Pittsburgh Bank agrees to
hold for the MPF Provider’s benefit any and all collateral as may be provided by
Pittsburgh Bank PFIs under their respective PFI Agreements to secure their obligations under
PFI Agreements relating to sold Program Loans.

     (d) The MPF Provider shall not have an interest in any (i) other property taken as
security for any other credit, loan or financial accommodation made or furnished to any PFI
by the Pittsburgh Bank in which the MPF Provider has no financial interest; (ii) property
now or hereafter in the Pittsburgh Bank’s possession or under the Pittsburgh Bank’s control
other than by reason of any PFI Agreement; or (iii) deposits or other indebtedness which may
be or might become security for performance or payment of any obligations and liabilities of
any PFI under the PFI Agreement by reason of the general description contained in any
instrument other than the PFI Agreement held by the Pittsburgh Bank or by reason of any
right of setoff, counterclaim, banker’s lien or otherwise. If, however, such property,
deposit, indebtedness or the proceeds thereof shall actually be applied to the payment or
reduction of principal, interest, fees, commissions or any other amounts owing by any PFI in
connection with any Program Loan which the Pittsburgh Bank shall have sold to the MPF
Provider, then the MPF Provider shall be entitled to such application with respect to such
Loan.

       7.5. Exculpation of MPF Provider. Neither the MPF Provider nor any of its
shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the Pittsburgh Bank for
any obligation, undertaking, act or judgment of any Borrower, any guarantor or any other person

of any provision of any Mortgage Loan or any of the Mortgage Loan Documents.

       7.6. Mediation of Disputes; Jurisdiction and Venue. (a)Neither the Pittsburgh Bank
nor the MPF Provider shall institute a proceeding before any tribunal to resolve any controversy

-25-

 

or claim arising out of or relating to the Agreement, or the breach, termination or invalidity
thereof (a “Dispute”), before such party has sought to resolve the dispute through mediation. If
the parties do not promptly agree on a mediator, either party may request the then Chairman of the
Board of the Finance Board to appoint a mediator. All mediation proceedings under the Agreement
shall be held in Washington, D.C. or such other location as the parties may agree upon. If the
mediator is unable to facilitate a settlement of the Dispute within a reasonable time, as
determined by the mediator, the mediator shall issue a written statement to the parties to that
effect and the complaining party may then pursue any other remedy available to it at law or in
equity. The fees and expenses of the mediator shall be paid by the party initiating mediation.

(b) The Pittsburgh Bank hereby consents to the exercise of jurisdiction over its person and its
property by any court of competent jurisdiction situated in the State of Illinois (whether it be a
court of the State of Illinois or a court of the United States of America situated in Illinois) for
the enforcement of this Agreement or in any other controversy, dispute or question arising
hereunder, and the Pittsburgh Bank hereby waives any and all personal or other rights to object to
such jurisdiction for such purposes. The Pittsburgh Bank, for itself and its successors and
assigns, hereby waives any objection which it may have to the laying of venue of any such action,
suit or proceeding in any such court; provided, that the provisions of this paragraph shall not be
deemed to preclude any other appropriate forum. If such litigation is commenced at any time, the
Pittsburgh Bank agrees that service of process may be made, and personal jurisdiction over the
Pittsburgh Bank obtained, by service of a copy of the summons, complaint and other pleadings
required to commence such litigation by United States certified or registered mail, return receipt

FIRST AMENDMENT TO

MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE®

SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made as of the 8th day of May,
2000, between the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO (the “MPF® Provider”) and the FEDERAL HOME LOAN
BANK OF PITTSBURGH (the “Pittsburgh Bank”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank and the MPF Provider have previously entered into that
certain MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Services Agreement dated April 30, 1999 (the
“Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to make the MORTGAGE
PARTNERSHIP FINANCE (MPF) Program available to members of the Pittsburgh Bank; and

WHEREAS, other Federal Home Loan Banks participating in the MPF Program (“MPF Banks”) have
requested certain changes which would effect the Clearing Account established by the Pittsburgh
Bank as required by the Agreement, and the MPF Provider is willing to make such changes.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein and in
the Agreement, the parties here agree as follows:

1. The Agreement is hereby amended by deleting Section 5.11.3. in its entirety and
substituting the following in its place:

     Section 5.11.3. Interest on Clearing Account.

     The MPF Provider will credit to the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account interest on the
outstanding balance thereof from time to time at the rate of interest paid by the MPF Provider to
all MPF Banks under the MPF Program, as the same is published in the FHLB Guide from time
to time (the “MPF Bank Rate”). Until such time as the MPF Bank Rate is published
in the FHLB Guide, the MPF Bank Rate, for any day, shall be equal to the MPF Provider’s
Fed Funds Rate for that day less 5 basis points (0.05%). For purposes of this Agreement, the term
“Fed Funds Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate equal to the weighted average rate the MPF
Provider earns on its overnight investments in the federal funds market, determined as of the close
of business for that day. In the event that any withdrawal from the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing
Account shall cause the balance in such account to become negative, such deficit shall be deemed a
loan from the MPF Provider to the Pittsburgh Bank, payable upon demand and bearing
interest at a the rate charged by the MPF Provider to all MPF Banks under the MPF
Program, as the same is published in the FHLB Guide from time to time (the “MPF Bank
Default Rate”). Until such time as the MPF Bank Default Rate is published in the FHLB Guide, the
MPF Bank Default Rate, for any day, shall be equal to the MPF Bank Rate for that
day plus 200 basis points (2.0%).

 

 

2. Except for the foregoing amendment, the Agreement remains unmodified and in full force
and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized
officers as of the date first above written.

SECOND AMENDMENT TO

MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE®

SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made as of the
19th day of May, 2000, between the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO (the “MPF®
Provider”) and the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF PITTSBURGH (the “Pittsburgh Bank”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank and the MPF Provider have previously entered into that certain
MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Services Agreement dated as of April 30, 1999, and amended by
a First Amendment dated May 8, 2000 (together, the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties
agreed, among other things, to make the MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Program available to
members of the Pittsburgh Bank; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Agreement to change the MPF Provider’s interest in any
Designated Loans purchased pursuant to the Specified MCs (hereinafter defined), and to permit, for
any given Business Day, exercise of either a “100 % liquidity option” for all Delivery Commitments
issued by the Pittsburgh Bank, or a “variable liquidity option” solely for Delivery Commitments for
the Specified MCs, as set forth in this Amendment. Any capitalized terms not defined in this
Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein and in
the Agreement, the parties here agree as follows:

1. The Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the Specified MCs only, but not with
respect to any other Master Commitments, by amending Section 7.1.1. by inserting a subsection
heading “(a)” at the beginning of the text (following the heading) and by adding the following as a
new subsection (b):

(b) In lieu of the Designated Loans provided for in Section 7.1 .1. (a) above,
the Pittsburgh Bank shall have the right to change the participation percentage to be
transferred to the MPF Provider with respect to Designated Loans by
notifying the MPF Provider, not later than 9:00 a.m. Central Time, on a given
Business Day of the participation percentage to be between 26% and 100% (“Designated
Percentage Interest”) with respect to any Delivery Commitments issued with respect to
the Specified MCs for that Business Day (“Designated Delivery Commitments”). The MPF

given telephonically if confirmed in writing in electronic or paper format), and
shall also specify the percentage interest(s) of any participating MPF Banks in the
Designated Loans

 

 

under the Designated Delivery Commitments (provided such MPF Bank has executed
an authorization to the MPF Provider to administer its participation in the
Designated Loans). The MPF Provider’s participation interest in the Program Loans
purchased under Designated Delivery Commitments shall be pursuant to the Liquidity
Option MPF Participation Agreement dated as of April 30,1999, as the same may be
amended from time to time.

2. The Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the Specified MCs only, and not with respect to
any other Master Commitments, by adding the following definition to Article I:

     “Specified MCs” shall mean either or both of, as the context requires, (i) the Master
Commitment the Pittsburgh Bank entered into with Chase Manhattan Bank USA, National
Association, Number 7193, dated April 11, 2000 for up to $ 10 billion, and (ii) the Master
Commitment the Pittsburgh Bank entered into with Travelers Bank & Trust, FSB, Number 7213,
dated May 8, 2000 for up to $ 6 billion.

3. The Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the Specified MCs only, and not with respect to
any other Master Commitments, by adding the following sentence to the end of Section 5.12.:

Without limiting the foregoing, the Pittsburgh Bank may grant the Federal Home Loan Bank of
New York (“New York Bank”) the right to transfer participation interests in Program Loans
the New York Bank acquires from the Pittsburgh Bank to any members of the New York Bank.

4. Except for the amendments contained herein, the Agreement remains unmodified and in full force
and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized
officers as of the date first above written.

Re: mortgage partnership finance® (“mpf”®) Program — Clarification and Correction
of Second Amendment to Services Agreement

Dear Craig,

This serves to clarify and correct that certain Second Amendment to mortgage partnership
finance Services Agreement between the parties dated as of May 19, 2000, (the “Second
Amendment”) which amended the Services Agreement dated April 30, 1999, previously amended by a
First Amendment dated May 8, 2000 (the “Services Agreement”) between the Federal Home Loan Bank of
Chicago (the “MPF Provider”) and the Federal Home Loan Bank of Pittsburgh (the “Pittsburgh Bank”).
Any capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Second Amendment
or the Services Agreement, as applicable.

The Second Amendment permits the Pittsburgh Bank, for any given Business Day, to either exercise a
“100% liquidity option” for all Delivery Commitments issued by the Pittsburgh Bank, or a “variable
liquidity option” solely for Delivery Commitments for the Specified MCs, and the parties desire to
clarify and correct that provision to reflect their understanding that the Pittsburgh Bank is
permitted to both the exercise of the “100% liquidity option” under Section 7.1.1(a) with respect
to all Master Commitments other than the Specified MCs, and may exercise a “variable liquidity
option” for the Specified MCs on the same Business Day under Section 7.1.1 (b).

Therefore, the phrase “In lieu of the Designated Loans provided for in Section 7.1.1 (a) above”
appearing in Section 7.1.1(b) of the Services Agreement as amended by the Second Amendment, shall
not be deemed to limit the Pittsburgh Bank’s rights to either exercise a liquidity option under
§7.1.1 for all Master Commitments or §7.1.1 (b) for the Specified MCs, but shall be understood to
permit either the exercise of §7.1.1(a) or §7.1.1(b) solely with respect to the Specified MCS,
while the exercise of the “100% liquidity option” under §7.1.1 would apply continue to be available
with respect to any Master Commitments other than the Specified MCs.

THIRD AMENDMENT TO

MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE®

SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS THIRD AMENDMENT TO SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made as of the 1st day of
February, 2001, between the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO (the “MPF® Provider”) and the FEDERAL
HOME LOAN BANK OF PITTSBURGH (the “Pittsburgh Bank”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank and the MPF Provider have previously entered into that certain
mortgage partnership finance Services Agreement dated as of April 30, 1999, and amended by a First
Amendment dated May 8, 2000, a Second Amendment dated May 19, 2000, and two supplemental letters
dated May 16, 2000 and August 21, 2000 (together, the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties
agreed, among other things, to make the mortgage partnership finance Program available to
members of the Pittsburgh Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank desires to enter into a Master Commitment for the Original MPF for FHA
Insured /VA Guaranteed Loans dated February 1, 2001 (the “Nat City Government MC”) with National
City Bank of Pennsylvania (“Nat City”) and to utilize a form for the Nat City Government MC that is
not the currently published form provided by the MPF Provider for such purpose, and the MPF
Provider is willing to consent to such non-standard form to evidence the Nat City Government MC,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment. Any capitalized terms not defined in this
Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Agreement, which includes those terms
defined in the PFI Agreement and the Guides and by reference included in the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein
and in the Agreement, the parties here agree as follows:

1. The Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the Nat City Government MC only, but not with
respect to any other Master Commitments, by amending Section 2.5 so that the Nat City Government MC
shall be excluded from the grant by the Pittsburgh Bank of a Transaction Services Participation to
the MPF Provider, and the MPF Provider shall waive its right to receive a Transaction Services
Participation in the Nat City Government MC.

2. The Pittsburgh Bank anticipates purchasing Three Hundred Million Dollars ($300,000,000) of
FHA/VA Loans under the Nat City Government MC, and that the foregone Transaction Services
Participation that would otherwise have been granted to the MPF Provider is an amount equal to
twenty-five percent (25%) of the final amount of Program Loans delivered under the Nat City
Government MC, such amount to be determined at the time the Nat City Government MC is filled or
expires, whichever comes first (such, amount referred to herein as the “Forgone Participation
Amount”). In consideration of waiving its right to receive a Transaction Services Participation
under the Nat City Government MC, the MPF Provider agrees

 

 

to accept in lieu thereof: (i) an increased percentage Transaction Services Participation from
25% to such percentage necessary to give the MPF Provider an anticipated additional interest equal
to two-thirds of the Forgone Participation Amount in a Conventional Loan Master Commitment executed
by the Pittsburgh Bank on or before August 14, 2001 (“Substitute Conventional MC”); and (ii) an
increased percentage Transaction Services Participation from 25% to such percentage necessary to
give the MPF Provider an anticipated additional interest equal to one-third of the Forgone
Participation Amount in a Master Commitment for the Original MPF for FHA Insured /VA Guaranteed
Loans executed by the Pittsburgh Bank on or before August 14, 2001 (“Substitute Government MC”, and
together with the Substitute Conventional MC referred to as the “Substitute MCs”), provided,
however, that if such increased Transaction Services Participation equal to the Forgone
Participation Amount is not granted to the MPF Provider on or before August 14, 2001, then
commencing in September, 2001, the MPF Provider shall charge the Pittsburgh Bank a Transaction
Services Fee with respect to the Nat City Government MC (the first fee covering the period from
February through August, and each month thereafter covering each preceding month), and the
Pittsburgh Bank shall pay to the MPF Provider a monthly Transaction Services Fee, based on an
annual rate of ten basis points (0.10%), on the outstanding principal balances of the Loans in the
Nat City Government MC as compensation for the services to be provided to the Pittsburgh Bank under
the Agreement for the Nat City Government MC, all payments to be made by the MPF Provider debiting
the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account.

3. The parties agree that at the time the Substitute MCs are filled or expire, if the amount of the
Participation Share granted to the MPF Provider under the Substitute MCs is less than 90% of an
amount equal to the Forgone Participation Amount plus twenty-five percent (25%) of the amount of
Program Loans delivered under the Substitute MCs (such difference referred to as the “Participation
Shortfall”), then the Pittsburgh Bank shall grant increased Participation Shares to the MPF
Provider in the next Master Commitments executed by the Pittsburgh Bank (for Conventional Loans and
Government Loans) in the aggregate amount equal to the Participation Shortfall, such Participation
Interest to be allocated between the two Master Commitments in the same ratio as that provided for
the Substitute MCs.

4. The Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the Nat City Government MC only, but not with
respect to any other Master Commitments, by amending Section 7.1.1. so that in the event the
Pittsburgh Bank elects to exercise the Liquidity Option granted thereunder and Nat City requests
any Delivery Commitments under the Nat City Government MC, the MPF Provider shall notify Nat City
that no Delivery Commitments will be issued for the remainder of the Business Day, or such longer
period for which the Pittsburgh Bank has exercised its Liquidity Option, with respect to the Nat
City Government MC, unless the Pittsburgh Bank expressly excludes the Nat City Government MC from
its Liquidity Option notice.

5. Except for the amendments contained herein, the Agreement remains unmodified and in full force
and effect.

amended by First and Second Amendments dated May 8, 2000 and May 19, 2000 respectively, and with
two supplemental letters dated May 16, 2000 and August 21, 2000. The Services Agreement was further
amended by a Third Amendment dated as of February 1, 2001 (the “Third Amendment”), which required
the Pittsburgh Bank to take certain actions in connection with an
MPF® Master Commitment to
purchase
Government Mortgages dated February 1, 2001 and issued to National City Bank of Pennsylvania (the
“Nat City Commitment”).

In response to your request, the MPF Provider hereby affirms that the Pittsburgh Bank has complied
with
all conditions of the Third Amendment. Consequently, the MPF Provider and the Pittsburgh Bank
hereby
acknowledge that, except for the waivers granted in Section 1 of the Third Amendment, the terms and
conditions set forth in the Third Amendment shall cease to apply to either party and that the

never been executed by the parties.

Amendment,
please sign and return to me the enclosed copy of this letter.

Sincerely,

FIFTH AMENDMENT TO

MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE®

SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS FIFTH AMENDMENT TO
SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made as of the 5th day of November,
2003, between the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO (the

BANK OF PITTSBURGH (the “Pittsburgh Bank”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank

a First Amendment dated May 8, 2000, a Second Amendment dated May 19, 2000, Third Amendment dated
February 1, 2001, Fourth Amendment dated October 1, 2003, and two supplemental letters dated May

“Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed,
among other things, to make the MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Program available to members
of the Pittsburgh Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank desires to enter into a Three Billion Dollar ($3,000,000,000) MPF Plus
Master Commitment, bearing Number 7977 (“MC 7977”)
with National City Bank of Pennsylvania (“Nat City”); and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that the Pittsburgh Bank will retain a 75% interest in MC 7977 and
will transfer a 25% Participation Share to the MPF Provider under MC 7977, subject to the terms and
conditions of this Amendment. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the
meaning assigned to them in the Agreement, which includes those terms defined in the PFI Agreement
and the Guides and by reference included in the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein
and in the Agreement, the parties here agree as follows:

1. Section 7.1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the MC 7977 only, but not with
respect to any other Master Commitments, so that the Pittsburgh Bank may elect (i) to exercise the
Liquidity Option granted by Section 7.1.1, and expressly include MC 7977 in its Liquidity Option

Day, (ii) to exercise the Liquidity Option granted by Section 7.1.1, and expressly exclude MC 7977
from its Liquidity Option notice, or (iii) to give a Liquidity Option notice solely for MC 7977 for

calculated in accordance with Chapter 24.3.2 of the Origination Guide without regard to whether the
Pittsburgh Bank ever receives or collects the Loan Repurchase Amount from the PFI with respect to
each such Mortgage.

3. The Pittsburgh Bank agrees to require Nat City to contact the Pittsburgh Bank prior to
requesting the issuance of any Delivery Commitment issued under MC 7977, and to obtain the
Pittsburgh Bank’s approval for such Delivery Commitment. Further, the parties agree that the MPF
Provider shall be entitled to presume that Nat City has obtained the Pittsburgh Bank’s prior
approval whenever Nat City requests a Delivery Commitment under MC 7977.

4. Except for the amendments contained in this Amendment, the Agreement remains unmodified
and in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized

SIXTH AMENDMENT TO

MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE®

SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS SIXTH AMENDMENT TO
SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made as of the
15th day
of March, 2004, between the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO (the
“MPF®
Provider”) and the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF PITTSBURGH
(the “Pittsburgh Bank”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank and the MPF Provider have previously entered into that certain
MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Services Agreement dated as of April 11, 2000, and amended by
two supplemental letters dated May 16, 2000 and August 21, 2000, and five prior amendments dated
May, 8, 2000, May 19, 2000, February 1, 2001, October 1, 2003, November 5, 2003 (together, the
“Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to make the MORTGAGE
PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Program available to members of the Pittsburgh Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank desires to enter into two new Master Commitments, one being a
One Billion Dollar ($1,000,000,000) MPF Plus Master Commitment,
bearing Number 8116 (“MC 8116”) and
the other being a One Billion Dollar ($1,000,000,000) Original MPF for FHA/VA Master Commitment,
bearing Number 8115 (“MC 8115), with CHASE MANHATTAN BANK
U.S.A., NATIONAL ASSOCIATION (“Chase”);
and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that the Pittsburgh Bank will retain a 75% interest in MC 8116 and
MC 8115 (together, the “Subject MCs”) and will transfer a 25% Participation Share to the MPF
Provider under the Subject MCs, subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment. Any
capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to them in the
Agreement, which includes those terms defined in the PFI Agreement and the Guides and by reference
included in the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein
and in the Agreement, the parties here agree as follows:

1. Section 7.1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the Subject MCs only, but
not with respect to any other Master Commitments, so that the Pittsburgh Bank may elect (i) to
exercise the Liquidity Option granted by Section 7.1.1, and expressly include one or more of the
Subject MCs in its Liquidity Option notice, in which case the specified Subject MCs will be
inactive for the remainder of the Business Day (any of the Subject MCs not expressly included in
the Liquidity Option notice shall automatically be excluded from the Liquidity Option), or (ii) to
give a Liquidity Option notice solely for one or more of the Subject MCs for the Business Day as
provided in the FHLB Guide, in which case the MPF Provider will deactivate the relevant Subject MCs
for the remainder of the Business Day. If Chase requests Delivery Commitments under any of the
Subject MCs after the Pittsburgh Bank has delivered a Liquidity Option notice that includes such
Subject MCs, the MPF Provider may inform

 

 

Chase that the relevant Subject MCs have been deactivated at the request of the Pittsburgh Bank.
Nothing in this Section is intended to amend or modify the terms of separate Actual/Actual
Remittance Option Arrangements that govern Master Commitments serviced under the Actual/Actual
Remittance Option.

2. The Pittsburgh Bank agrees that it will not approve Chase exceeding either the monthly maximum
for all Conventional Loans of $250 Million set forth in the Addendum to MC 8116, or the monthly
maximum for all Government Loans of $150 Million set forth in the Addendum to MC 8115, in either or
both cases, without first obtaining the written agreement of the MPF Provider. Further, the
Pittsburgh Bank agrees that in the event Chase breaches the representation and warranty in the
Addenda to MC 8116 and MC 8115 with respect to the permitted Note Rate and the Bank requires the
repurchase of any Mortgage due to such breach, the Pittsburgh Bank will reimburse the MPF Provider
for its pro rata share of the Loan Repurchase Amount as calculated in accordance with Chapter
24.3.2 of the Origination Guide without regard to whether the Pittsburgh Bank ever receives or
collects the Loan Repurchase Amount from Chase with respect to each such Mortgage.

3. The Pittsburgh Bank agrees to require Chase to contact the Pittsburgh Bank prior to requesting
the issuance of any Delivery Commitment issued under any of the Subject MCs, and to obtain the
Pittsburgh Bank’s approval for such Delivery Commitment. Further, the parties agree that the MPF
Provider shall be entitled to presume that Chase has obtained the Pittsburgh Bank’s prior approval
whenever Chase requests a Delivery Commitment under any of the Subject MCs.

4. The parties intend the FHLB Guide (referenced in and incorporated into the Agreement) to provide
operational and administrative details that are not appropriate for the Agreement but which are
binding on both parties, provided, however, to the extent that any provision the FHLB Guide
conflicts with the provisions of the Agreement, the provisions of the Agreement controls.

5. Except for the amendments contained in this Amendment, the Agreement remains unmodified
and in full force and effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized
officers as of the date first above written.

SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO

MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE®

SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS SEVENTH AMENDMENT TO SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Amendment”) is made as of the
25th day of May, 2004, between the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO (the “MPF®
Provider”) and the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF PITTSBURGH (the “Pittsburgh Bank”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank and the MPF Provider have previously entered into that certain
MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Services Agreement dated as of April 11, 2000, and amended by
two supplemental letters dated May 16, 2000 and August 21, 2000, and five prior amendments dated
May, 8, 2000, May 19, 2000, February 1, 2001, October 1, 2003, November 5, 2003 and March 15, 2004
(together, the “Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to make the
MORTGAGE PARTNERSHIP FINANCE Program available to members of the Pittsburgh Bank; and

WHEREAS, the Pittsburgh Bank desires to enter into, from time to time, certain Master Commitments
in the amount of One Billion Dollars ($1,000,000,000) or greater (each, a “Subject MC” and
collectively, the “Subject MCs”) with various participating financial institution members of the
Pittsburgh Bank (each, a “Subject PFI”); and

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that the Pittsburgh Bank will retain a 75% interest in each
Subject MC and will transfer a 25% Participation Share to the MPF Provider under each Subject MC,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Amendment, unless the parties agree otherwise in
writing. Any capitalized terms not defined in this Amendment shall have the meaning assigned to
them in the Agreement, which includes those terms defined in the PFI Agreement and the Guides and
by reference included in the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein
and in the Agreement, the parties here agree as follows:

1 . It is understood that none of the Subject MCs and none of the Master Commitments serviced
under the Actual/ Actual Remittance Option (“A/A MCs”) will be deemed to be included in, and
subject to, a Liquidity Option notice given by the Pittsburgh Bank pursuant to Section 7.1.1 of the
Agreement except to the extent that any one or more of the Subject MCs and/or A/A MCs are expressly
included in such Liquidity Options Notice. Further, nothing in this Amendment is intended to amend
or modify the terms of separate Liquidity Option arrangements that govern A/A MCs.

2. Section 7.1.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended with respect to the Subject MCs only, but
not with respect to any other Master Commitments, so that the Pittsburgh Bank may elect (i) to
exercise the Liquidity Option granted by Section 7.1.1, and expressly include one or more of the
Subject MCs in its Liquidity Option notice, in which case the specified Subject MCs will be
inactive for the remainder of the Business Day, or (ii) to give a Liquidity Option notice solely
for

 

 

one or more of the Subject MCs for the Business Day as provided in the FHLB Guide, in which case
the MPF Provider will deactivate the relevant Subject MCs for the remainder of the Business Day. If
a Subject PFI requests Delivery Commitments under one of its Subject MCs after the Pittsburgh Bank
has delivered a Liquidity Option notice that includes such Subject MC, the MPF Provider may inform
the Subject PFI that such Subject MC has been deactivated at the request of the Pittsburgh Bank.

3. The parties agree that each Subject MC (i) shall provide for a maximum dollar amount of
Program Loans that can be delivered by the Subject PFI in any calendar month (the “Monthly
Maximum”) and (ii) may limit the permitted Note Rate(s) for Mortgages to be delivered under
such Subject MC. The Pittsburgh Bank agrees that it will not approve each Subject PFI
exceeding the Monthly Maximum for all Conventional Loans or the Monthly Maximum for all
Government Loans, as the case may be, for each Subject MC without first obtaining the written
agreement of the MPF Provider.

4. The Pittsburgh Bank agrees that in the event a Subject PFI should breach the representation
