Article II. Advances and Other Credit Accommodations
Section 2.1 Procedures for Advances The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern each Advance heretofore, now, or hereafter made by Seattle Bank to Customer. The Credit Policy of the Seattle Bank is an integral part of the terms and conditions of all such Advances and is incorporated in this Agreement by this reference as if fully set forth herein. Additional terms and conditions of Advances may be set forth in an Advance Master Application and/or Advances Note, which Seattle Bank may require Customer to sign and deliver to Seattle Bank from time to time. Any additional, particular terms and conditions of an Advance orally quoted by Seattle Bank and accepted by Customer at the time of Customer's Request for an Advance, including, without limitation, the principal amount, applicable interest rate or due date of the Advance, will be confirmed by Seattle Bank in an Advance Confirmation Advice or, if no Advance Confirmation Advice is issued, will be evidenced by the books and records of Seattle Bank. In cases in which a Request for an Advance is made orally by Customer of Seattle Bank in an electronically recorded telephone conversation, and a question arises concerning any particulars of such Advance, Customer agrees that such recording or a transcript thereof will be an integral part of Seattle Bank's books and records and may be used as evidence of such particulars. In cases in which an Advance requested orally by Customer is made by another Federal Home Loan Bank, on behalf of Seattle Bank, under a Master Backup Support Agreement, the books and records of such other Federal Home Loan Bank will establish any additional, particular terms of such Advance. If such Advance is requested by Customer of such other Federal Home Loan Bank in an electronically recorded telephone conversation, and a question arises concerning any particulars of such Advance, Customer agrees that such recording or a transcript thereof will be an integral part of the such other Federal Home Loan Bank's books and records and may be used as evidence of such particulars. Unless otherwise agreed by Seattle Bank, each Advance will be made by crediting Customer's demand deposit Account(s) with Seattle Bank. In all cases, funding of any Request for an Advance will be subject to compliance by Customer with the terms and provisions of the Act, the Regulations, the Credit Policy and this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Stock Ownership Requirement and Collateral Maintenance Requirement. In the event that Customer's access to Advances is subsequently restricted pursuant to the Act, the Regulations or any other provision of applicable law, Seattle Bank will not be required to fund any outstanding Commitment for Advances not funded prior to the effective date of such restriction.
Section 2.2 Repayment of Advances Customer agrees to repay each Advance in accordance with its terms and conditions. Customer will maintain in Customer's demand deposit Account(s) with Seattle Bank an amount at least equal to the amounts then currently due and payable to Seattle Bank with respect to Advances, and Customer hereby
authorizes Seattle Bank to debit Customer's Account(s) with Seattle Bank for all amounts due and payable with respect to any Advance and for all other amounts due and payable under this Agreement. Customer agrees that, in the event any such debit results in Customer's demand deposit Account being overdrawn, Customer will pay overdraft charges thereon at the rate that Seattle Bank normally assesses for overdrafts on general demand deposit accounts. In the event that the balance in such demand deposit Account(s) is, at any time, insufficient to pay such due and payable amounts, Seattle Bank may in its discretion and without notice to Customer: (i) make a “flexible balance” or other similar Advance, as provided in the Credit Policy, in the amount of and for the purpose of paying such due and payable amounts; or (ii) apply any other deposits, credits, Funds or other monies of Customer then in the possession of Seattle Bank to the payment of such due and payable amounts. All payments with respect to Advances will be applied to any fees, costs or charges applicable thereto, to interest due thereon and to any principal amount thereof that is then due and payable, in such order and priority as Seattle Bank may determine.
Section 2.3 Estoppel For any Advance evidenced by an Advance Confirmation Advice, failure of Customer, within ten (10) business days of Customer's receipt of the Advance Confirmation Advice, to deliver written notice to Seattle Bank specifying any disputed particulars thereof, including without limitation the principal amount, applicable interest rate or due date of the Advance, will constitute the final agreement and acknowledgment by Customer that the particulars of the Advance Confirmation Advice are accurate and are those that Customer requested and by which Customer agreed to be bound, and Customer will thereafter be estopped from asserting any claim or defense with respect thereto. For any Advance which has such particular terms established by the books and records of Seattle Bank or another Federal Home Loan Bank rather than by an Advance Confirmation Advice, such books and records shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. Seattle Bank reserves the right to correct its scrivener's errors, if any, in any Advance Confirmation Advice or such books and records, and no such errors shall affect Customer's obligations in respect to the affected Advance.
Section 2.4 Interest Customer agrees to pay interest on each Advance at a rate per annum determined on the basis described in the Credit Policy, Advance Master Application, Advances Note, Advance Confirmation Advice or the books and records of Seattle Bank or other Federal Home Loan Bank, as the case may be, pertaining to such Advance.
Section 2.5 Commitment and Cancellation Fees Customer agrees to pay when due any commitment fees and any cancellation fees applicable to any Commitments issued by Seattle Bank for Advances, determined on the basis described in the Credit Policy, the Commitment documentation or the books and records of Seattle Bank or other Federal Home Loan Bank, as the case may be, pertaining to such Commitment.
Section 2.6 Other Credit Accommodations
2.6.1 | Customer may apply to Seattle Bank for the issuance of other credit products, including without limitation Letters of Credit, firm commitments for Advances and Swap Transactions, provided such other credit products, and Customer's intended use thereof, are authorized under the Act, the Regulations and the Credit Policy. The terms and conditions of such Other Credit Accommodations shall be governed by the Act, the Regulations, the Credit Policy, this Agreement and such other documentation as Seattle Bank may require from time to time. |
2.6.2 | The Borrowing Capacity of Customer shall be reduced by Seattle Bank's outstanding obligations under any Letter of Credit, Swap Transaction, Commitment or Other Credit Accommodation, as determined by Seattle Bank from time to time, in the same manner as outstanding Advances. |
2.6.3 | In the event any Commitment, including without limitation a Letter of Credit, is outstanding at the time of an Event of Default under Section 4.1 of this Agreement, Seattle Bank may at its option make an Advance by crediting a special Account with Seattle Bank in an amount equal to the outstanding Commitment. Amounts credited to such special Account will be utilized by Seattle Bank for the purpose of satisfying Seattle Bank's obligations under the outstanding Commitment. When all such obligations have expired or have been satisfied, Seattle Bank will disburse the balance, if any, in such special Account first to the satisfaction of any Indebtedness then owing by Customer to Seattle Bank and then to Customer or its successors in interest. Advances made pursuant to this Subsection 2.7.3 will be payable on demand and will bear interest at the rate in effect and being charged by Seattle Bank from time to time on overdrafts on demand deposit accounts of its Customers. |
Section 2.7 Prepayment Fees Customer agrees to pay a prepayment fee upon the prepayment of all or any portion of any Advance or Other Credit Accommodation, made before the due date thereof, whether such prepayment is made voluntarily or involuntarily, including, without limitation, any prepayment resulting from acceleration under Section 4.1 hereof upon an Event of Default. The amount of the prepayment fee shall not be less than zero and shall be determined by the Seattle Bank on the basis described in the Regulations, the Credit Policy and any applicable Advance Master Application, Advances Note, Advance Confirmation Advice or Swap Transaction, as the case may be, pertaining to prepayment of such Advance or Other Credit Accommodation. Any applicable illustrations and examples of prepayment fees in the Users Guide, as published and revised by the Seattle Bank from time to time, are an integral part of the terms and conditions of this Agreement and are incorporated herein by this reference as if fully set forth at length.
Section 2.8 Compliance with the Credit Policy, Act and Regulations Customer hereby agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of the Credit Policy, the Act and the Regulations, including, without limitation, any reporting requirements, application procedures or eligibility requirements imposed by the Credit Policy, the Act or the Regulations with respect to particular types of Advances, Commitments or Other Credit Accommodations. In the event of any inconsistency between the Credit Policy and the Act or the Regulations, Customer hereby agrees to comply with the more restrictive statute, regulation or policy. In the event any provision of the Credit Policy, the Act or the Regulations is amended, Customer agrees to comply with the terms and provisions of the Credit Policy, the Act and the Regulations as so amended from time to time, provided that, to the extent permitted by the Act and the Regulations, any particular terms of outstanding Advances or Commitments existing at the time of any such amendment, including, without limitation, interest rates or prepayment fees, will continue to be governed by the terms and provisions of the Advance Master Application, Advances Note, Advance Confirmation Advice or Commitment documentation which applied to such outstanding Advances or Commitments at the time such Advances or Commitments were made. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seattle Bank shall retain the right to amend from time to time the Borrowing Capacity, Collateral Coverage Factors and Collateral Maintenance Requirements applicable to Customer and its Eligible Collateral, and Customer agrees to comply with such changes upon Seattle Bank's notice thereof to Customer.
Section 2.9 Additional Covenants by Customer Customer will maintain a copy of this Agreement in its official records at all times. Customer will give Seattle Bank notice of any material event that would cause Customer, pursuant to the provisions of the Act, the Regulations, the Credit Policy or this Agreement, to be ineligible to become a Customer of Seattle Bank or ineligible to obtain Advances, Commitments or Other Credit Accommodations. Customer will give Seattle Bank notice of any material adverse change in or affecting Customer's financial condition. Failure to provide any notice required pursuant to this section shall constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement. Any obligation of Seattle Bank to fund any Advance or Other Credit Accommodation, including any Commitment, shall be conditioned upon the satisfaction of each of the following conditions precedent as of the date hereof and at the time of funding of each Advance or Other Credit Accommodation: (a) all representations and warranties of Customer contained this Agreement, or otherwise made by Customer to Seattle Bank, are and continue to be correct; (b) no Event of Default under this Agreement, or other documentation relating to the Advance or Other Credit Accommodation, has occurred or would result from such Advance; (c) the Seattle Bank has received such approvals, opinions or documents that the Seattle Bank may request in connection with the Advance or Other Credit Accommodation; (d) Customer satisfies all membership and borrowing eligibility criteria under the Act, the Regulations, this Agreement and the Credit Policy; (e) Customer, in the judgment of Seattle Bank, is not engaging or has not engaged in unsafe or unsound banking practices, has adequate capital, is not sustaining operating losses, does not have financial or managerial deficiencies that bear on the Customer's creditworthiness, and has no other deficiencies as determined by Seattle Bank; (f) there has been in Seattle Bank's judgment no material adverse change in Customer, the Collateral or any financial or other information submitted by Customer to Seattle Bank in connection with an Advance, Other Credit Accommodations or any Other Obligations; and (g) there has been in Seattle Bank's judgment no change in governmental laws or regulations that materially affects the Seattle Bank's power, right, authority, or ability to fund the Advance or Other Credit Accommodation.

Section 3.3 Collateral Maintenance Requirement
3.3.1 | Customer will at all times maintain an amount of Eligible Collateral, pledged to Seattle Bank under this Agreement, which, after discounting by the Collateral Coverage Factor(s) applicable to such Eligible Collateral, has a value, as determined by Seattle Bank, of not less than the aggregate amount of all Advances, Commitments and Other Credit Accommodations then outstanding. This Collateral Maintenance Requirement may be increased or decreased by Seattle Bank at any time, based upon Customer's creditworthiness or the quality of Customer's Eligible Collateral, as determined by Seattle Bank from time to time. Customer will not, without prior written consent of Seattle Bank, assign, pledge, transfer, create any security interest in, sell, or otherwise dispose of any Eligible Collateral if: (i) such Eligible Collateral is Physical Possession or Control Collateral under Section 3.5 of this Agreement; (ii) immediately after such action, Customer's remaining Eligible Collateral would be insufficient to comply with the Collateral Maintenance Requirement; or (iii) at the time of such action, there is an outstanding Event of Default under Section 4.1 of this Agreement. |
3.3.2 | All Eligible Collateral (other than Physical Possession or Control Collateral held by Seattle Bank or its custodian) will be held by Customer in trust for the benefit of, and subject to the direction and control of Seattle Bank, and will be physically safeguarded by Customer with at least the same degree of care as Customer would ordinarily use in prudently safeguarding its property. Without limiting the foregoing, Customer will take all action necessary or desirable to protect and preserve Eligible Collateral held by Customer, including without limitation the maintaining of insurance on property securing mortgages constituting Eligible Collateral (such policies and certificates of insurance relating to such mortgages are in this Agreement called “insurance”), the collection of payments under all such mortgages and under all such insurance, and otherwise assuring that loans comprising Eligible Mortgage Collateral are serviced in accordance with the standards of a reasonable and prudent mortgagee. Customer, as Seattle Bank's agent, will collect all payments when due on all Eligible Collateral held by Customer in trust for the benefit of Seattle Bank. If Seattle Bank requests, all such collections shall be held separate from Customer's other monies in one or more designated Accounts maintained at Seattle Bank. At Seattle Bank's sole discretion, Seattle Bank may then apply such collections to the payment of Indebtedness as it becomes due; otherwise, and provided there is no outstanding Event of Default under Section 4.1 of this Agreement, Customer may use and dispose of such collections in the ordinary course of its business. |

Section 6.11 Force Majeure Any obligations of the Seattle Bank in connection with this Agreement, any Commitment, or otherwise arising in connection with any Advance, Other Credit Accommodation, Account, Mortgage Purchase Program or other service, shall be excused to the extent delayed or prevented by reason of computer, communications system or power failure, labor disturbances, governmental laws, orders or regulations, riots, insurrection, acts of terror, war or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of the Seattle Bank. In addition, the Seattle Bank shall not be liable for the failure of any wire transfer, fedwire or other such system.
Section 6.12 Limitation of Damages If Seattle Bank, in connection with this Agreement, any Commitment, or any Advance, Other Credit Accommodation, Account, Mortgage Purchase Program or other service, breaches any obligation of Seattle Bank to Customer not otherwise excused by this Agreement or applicable law, Seattle Bank will be obligated to Customer only for Customer's actual, direct damages, if any. Under no circumstances shall Seattle Bank be liable for, and Customer hereby forever waives, any special, indirect or consequential damages or any punitive or exemplary damages.
Section 6.13 Applicable Law; Severability In addition to the terms and conditions specifically set forth in this Agreement and any other related documentation, this Agreement, and all Advances granted and Commitments extended under this Agreement, will be governed by the statutory and common law of the United States and, to the extent Federal law incorporates or defers to state law, the laws (exclusive of the choice of law provisions) of the State of Washington. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the UCC of the State of Washington, as amended from time to time, will be deemed applicable to this Agreement and to any Advance or Other Credit Accommodation made or Collateral pledged under this Agreement, except as otherwise required by the provisions of RCW 62A.9A-301 through 307.
