Exchange of Book Entry Notes for Definitive Notes (a) The Notes will initially be issued as Book-Entry Notes. Interests in a Book-Entry Note may be exchanged for Definitive Notes only if such exchange is permitted by applicable law and (i) in the case of a DTC Note, DTC notifies the Global Agent that it is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depositary with respect to the Book-Entry Notes and in each case the Issuer is unable to locate a successor within 90 calendar days of receiving notice of such ineligibility on the part of DTC, (ii) in the case of any Common Depository Note, if all of the systems through which it is cleared or settled are closed for business for a continuous period of 14 calendar days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or are permanently closed for business or have announced an intention to permanently cease business and in each such situation the Issuer is unable to locate a single successor within 90 calendar days of such closure, or (iii) an Event of Default occurs under the Debt Agreement and a majority of the Holders of DTC Notes advise the Global Agent and DTC through the Financial Intermediaries in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC is no longer in the best interests of such Holders. A Person having an interest in a DTC Note or Common Depository Note issued in global form shall provide the Issuer or the Global Agent with a written order containing instructions and such other information as the Issuer or the Global Agent may require to complete, execute and deliver such Definitive Notes in authorized denominations. In such circumstances, the Issuer shall cause sufficient Definitive Notes to be executed and delivered as soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 calendar days of the Issuer receiving notice of the occurrence of such circumstances) to the Global Agent or its agent for completion, authentication and delivery to the relevant registered Holders of such Definitive Notes. The Issuer shall, from time to time, deliver to the Global Agent adequate supplies of Definitive Note certificates substantially in the form of Exhibit D hereto, executed by the manual or facsimile signature of an Authorized Officer of the Issuer. The Global Agent shall acknowledge receipt of any Definitive Notes received from the Issuer and shall hold the Definitive Notes in safekeeping for the Issuer.
Issuance of Definitive Notes Beneficial interests in Notes issued in global form shall be subject to exchange for definitive Notes only if such exchange is permitted by applicable law and (i) in the case of a DTC Note, DTC or Freddie Mac advise the Global Agent in writing that DTC is no longer willing, qualified or able to discharge properly its responsibilities as nominee and depositary with respect to the DTC Notes and Freddie Mac (or its agent) is unable to locate a successor; (ii) in the case of a particular DTC Note or Common Depositary Note, if all of the systems through which it is cleared or settled are closed for business for a continuous period of 14 calendar days (other than by reason of holidays, statutory or otherwise) or are permanently closed for business or have announced an intention to permanently cease business and in any such situations Freddie Mac is unable to locate a single successor within 90 calendar days of such closure; or (iii) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Holders of Notes having voting rights aggregating not less than a majority of all voting rights evidenced by the DTC Notes and Common Depository Notes advise the Global Agent and DTC through the Financial Intermediaries and the DTC Participants in writing that the continuation of a book-entry system through DTC (or successor thereto) is no longer in the best interests of such Holders. In such circumstances, Freddie Mac shall cause sufficient definitive Notes to be executed and delivered as soon as practicable (and in any event within 45 calendar days of Freddie Mac receiving notice of the occurrence of such circumstances) to the Global Agent or its agent for completion, authentication and delivery to the relevant registered holders of such definitive Notes. A person having an interest in a DTC Note or Common Depositary Note issued in global form shall provide Freddie Mac or the Global Agent with a written order containing instructions and such other information as Freddie Mac or the Global Agent may require to complete, execute and deliver such definitive Notes in authorized denominations. In the event that definitive Notes are issued in exchange for Notes issued in global form, such definitive Notes shall have terms identical to the Notes for which they were exchanged except as described below.
CANCELLATION OF NOTES, COUPONS AND TALONS 11.1 All Notes which are redeemed, all Global Notes which are exchanged in full, all Coupons which are paid and all Talons which are exchanged shall be cancelled by the Paying Agent by which they are redeemed, exchanged or paid.

Each of the Paying Agents shall give to the Agent details of all payments made by it and shall deliver all cancelled Notes, Coupons and Talons to the Agent or as the Agent may specify.
