The Bank shall have a first priority perfected security interest in any such special account, and amounts credited to such special account may not be withdrawn by the Member for so long as there shall be Outstanding Commitment(s). Amounts credited to such special account shall be utilized by the Bank for the purpose of satisfying the Bank’s obligations under the Outstanding Commitment(s). When all such obligations have expired or have been satisfied, the Bank shall disburse the balance, if any, in such special account first to the satisfaction of any amounts then due and owing by the Member to the Bank and then to the Member or its successor’s interest. Advances made pursuant to this Section 2.03 shall be payable on demand and shall bear interest from the date the same shall be made until paid at the rate in effect and being charged by the Bank from time to time on overdrafts on DID Accounts of its members, but in no event more than any applicable limit set by the Regulations.

(f) If the Member becomes aware or has reason to believe that the Lendable Collateral Value of the Member’s Qualifying Collateral has fallen below the Collateral Maintenance Level, or that a contingency exists which with the lapse of time could result in the Member failing to meet the Collateral Maintenance Level, the Member shall immediately notify the Bank.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Member shall be solely responsible for the accuracy and adequacy of all information and data in each audit or status report (or other writing specifying and describing any Collateral) submitted to the Bank, regardless of the form in which submitted. To enable the Bank to regenerate any files or data previously furnished to the Bank with respect to any Collateral or any information contained in any audit or status report, the Member shall at all times maintain complete and accurate records and materials supporting and/or relating to any audit or status report and shall make the same available, on request, to the Bank. The parties hereto agree that the maintenance and retention of such supporting records and materials shall be the sole responsibility of the Member and that the Bank shall not be liable for any loss of such data.

(h) The Bank shall have no duty to make any independent examination of or calculation with respect to the information submitted in an audit or status report (or in any written schedule that may be submitted by the Member) and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank makes no representation or warranty as to the validity, accuracy, or completeness of any information contained in any written records of the Bank concerning, or of any response to, such audit or status report.

Section 3.11 MEMBER’S REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES CONCERNING COLLATERAL. The Member represents and warrants to the Bank, as of the date hereof and the date of each Advance hereunder, as follows:

(b) The information given from time to time by the Member as to each item of Collateral is true, accurate, and complete in all material respects;

(c) All the Collateral meets the standards and requirements with respect thereto from time to time established by the Act, the Regulations, and the Bank;

(d) The lien of the First Mortgage Collateral and Other Eligible Collateral on the real property securing the same is a perfected lien under applicable state law and the lien of the First Mortgage Collateral is a first lien;

(e) Except as may be approved in writing by the Bank, the Member has not conveyed or otherwise created, and there does not otherwise exist, any participation interest or other direct, indirect, legal, or beneficial interest in any Collateral on the part of anyone other than the Bank and the Member;

(f) All signatories to any and all writings that constitute any Collateral are and will be bound as they appear to be by their signatures and have the requisite authority and capacity (corporate or other) to execute such writings;

(g) Except as may be approved in writing by the Bank, no account debtor or other obligor owing any obligation to the Member with respect to any item of First Mortgage Collateral or Other Eligible Collateral has or will have any defenses, offsetting claims, or other rights affecting the right of the Member or the Bank to enforce the writings constituting any such mortgage, mortgage note or promissory obligation, and no defaults (or conditions that, with the passage of time or the giving of notice or both, would constitute a default) exist or will exist under any such writings; and

(h) No part of any real property or interest in real property that is the subject of mortgages included in Qualifying Collateral contains or is subject to the effects of toxic or hazardous materials or other hazardous substances (including those defined in the Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act of 1980, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 9601, et seq.; the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, 49 U.S.C. 1801 et seq.; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, 42 U.S.C. 6901 et seq.; and in the regulations adopted and publications promulgated pursuant to said laws) the presence of which could subject the Bank to any liability under applicable state or Federal law or local ordinance either at any time that such property is pledged to the Bank or upon the enforcement by the Bank of its security interest therein. The Member hereby agrees to indemnify and hold the Bank harmless against all costs, claims, expenses, damages and liabilities resulting in any way from the presence or effects of any such toxic or hazardous substances or materials in, on, or under any real property or interest in real property that is subject to or included in the Collateral.

Section 3.12 ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION. The Member shall make, execute, acknowledge, record, and deliver to the Bank such financing statements, notices, assignments, listings, powers, and other documents with respect to the Collateral and the Bank’s security interest therein and in such form as the Bank may reasonably require.

DEFAULT; REMEDIES

Section 4.01 Events of Default; Acceleration. Upon the occurrence of and during the continuation of any of the following events or conditions of default (“Event of Default”), the Bank may, at its option and in its discretion, by a notice to the Member, declare all or any part(s) of the Indebtedness and accrued interest thereon, including any prepayment fees or charges which are payable in connection with the payment prior to the originally scheduled maturity of any Advance, to be immediately due and payable without presentment, demand, protest, or any further notice:

(a) Failure of the Member to pay when due any interest on or principal of any Advance;

(b) Failure of the Member to perform any promise or obligation or to satisfy any condition or liability contained herein, in any Application, in any Confirmation of Advance or in any other agreement to which the Member and the Bank are parties;

(c) Evidence coming to the attention of the Bank that any representations, statements, or warranties made or furnished in any manner to the Bank by or on behalf of the Member in connection with any Advance, any specification or description of Qualifying Collateral or any report or certification concerning the status, or principal balance of any item of Collateral was false in any material respect when made or furnished;

(d) Failure of the Member to maintain adequate Qualifying Collateral free of any encumbrances or claims as required herein;

(e) The issuance of any tax, levy, seizure, attachment, garnishment, levy of execution, or other process with respect to the Collateral;

(f) Any suspension of payment by the Member to any creditor of sums due or the occurrence of any event which results (or which with the giving of notice or passage of time, or both will result) in another creditor having the right to accelerate the maturity of any indebtedness of the Member under any security agreement, indenture, loan agreement, or comparable undertaking;

(g) Appointment of a conservator, receiver, or similar official for the Member or any subsidiary of the Member, or the Member’s property, entry of a judgment, decree, or administrative decision adjudicating the Member or any subsidiary of the Member insolvent or bankrupt or an assignment by the Member or any subsidiary of the Member for benefit of creditors or the appointment of a trustee, conservator, receiver, liquidator, custodian, or similar official for any parent company (direct or indirect) of the Member or the filing of a petition or application by any person for the appointment of any such official for any such parent of the Member or the transfer of any of the Member’s assets or liabilities (whether by purchase and assumption by any third party or merger or otherwise) in connection with or as a result of any event heretofore described in this Section 4.01(g);

(h) Sale by the Member of all or a material part of the Member’s assets or the taking of any other action by the Member to liquidate or dissolve;

(i) Termination for any reason of the Member’s membership in the Bank, or the Member’s ceasing to be a type of entity that is eligible under the Act to become a member of the Bank;

(j) Merger, consolidation, or other combination of the Member with an entity which is not a member of the Bank if the non-member entity is the surviving entity; or

(k) The Bank reasonably and in good faith determines that a material adverse change has occurred in the financial condition of the Member from that disclosed at the time of the making of any Advance or from the condition of the Member as theretofore most recently disclosed to the Bank.

Section 4.02 REMEDIES.

(a) Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank shall have all of the rights and remedies provided by applicable law which shall include, but not be limited to, all of the remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code as in effect in the State of Illinois.

(b) Without limiting or affecting other rights of the Bank pertaining to the Collateral contained herein, the Bank, at its option and in its discretion, may take or cause its agent to take immediate possession of any of the Collateral or any part thereof wherever the same may be found by suit or otherwise. The Bank may sell, assign, and deliver the Collateral or any part thereof at public or private sale for such price as the Bank deems appropriate without any liability for any loss due to a decrease in the market value of the Collateral during the period held. The Bank shall have the right to purchase all or part of the Collateral at such sale. If the Collateral includes insurance or securities which will be redeemed by the issuer upon surrender, or any accounts or deposits in the possession of the Bank, the Bank may realize upon such Collateral without notice to the Member.

(c) Member waives any demand, advertisement, or notice of the time or place of intended disposition of any of the Collateral unless required by applicable law. When required, such notification shall be deemed reasonably and properly given if given as provided by applicable law or in accordance with Section 5.05 hereof at least 5 days before any such disposition. The Member agrees that the Bank may exercise its rights of setoff upon the occurrence of an Event of Default in the same manner as if the Advances were unsecured.

(d) Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, upon the occurrence of any Event of Default at any time when all or part of the obligations of the Member to the Bank hereunder shall be the subject of any guarantee by a third party for the Bank’s benefit and there shall be other outstanding obligations of the Member to the Bank that are not so guaranteed but that are secured by the Collateral, then any sums realized by the Bank from the Collateral, or from any other collateral pledged or furnished to the Bank by the Member under any other agreement, shall be applied first to the satisfaction of such other nonguaranteed obligations and then to the Member’s guaranteed obligations hereunder.

(e) The Member agrees to pay all the costs and expenses of the Bank in the collection of the Indebtedness and enforcement and preservation of the Bank’s rights and remedies in case of default, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees. Any sums owed to the Bank under this Section 4.02(e) may be collected by the Bank, at its option, by debiting the Member’s DID Account with the Bank.

Section 4.03 PAYMENT OF PREPAYMENT CHARGES. Any prepayment fees or charges applicable to an Advance shall be payable at the time of any voluntary or involuntary payment of all or part of the principal of such Advance prior to the originally scheduled maturity thereof, including without limitation payments that are made as part of a liquidation of the Member or that become due as a result of an acceleration pursuant to Section 4.01 hereof, whether such payment is made by the Member, by a conservator, receiver, liquidator, or trustee of or for the Member, or by any successor to or any assignee of the Member.

Section 4.04 CERTAIN PROVISIONS AS TO SALE OF COLLATERAL. In view of the possibility that Federal and state securities laws and Federal and state laws applicable to Member, may impose certain restrictions on the method by which a sale of the Collateral may be effected, the Bank and the Member agree that any sale of the Collateral as a result of an Event of Default shall be deemed “commercially reasonable” irrespective of whether the notice or manner of such sale contains provisions, or imposes, or is subject to, conditions or restrictions deemed appropriate to comply with the Securities Act of 1933 or any other applicable Federal or state securities law or any state or Federal law applicable to Member. It is further agreed that from time to time the Bank may attempt to sell the Collateral by means of private placement. In so doing, the Bank may restrict the bidders and prospective purchasers to those who will represent and agree that they are purchasing for investment only and not for distribution or otherwise impose restrictions deemed appropriate by the Bank for the purpose of complying with the requirements of applicable securities laws. The Bank may solicit offers to buy such Collateral, for cash or otherwise, from a limited number of investors deemed by the Bank to be responsible parties who might be interested in purchasing such Collateral. If the Bank solicits offers from not less than three such investors, then the acceptance by the Bank of the highest offer obtained therefrom (whether or not three offers are obtained) shall be deemed to be a commercially reasonable method of disposing of the Collateral.

Section 4.05 APPLICATION OF PAYMENTS. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default, the Bank shall apply any payment by or recovery from the Member, or any sum realized from Collateral which shall be received by the Bank (a) to payment of all costs of collection and enforcement; (b) to payment of the Indebtedness in such manner as the Bank shall choose; and (c) to repayment to the Bank of any amounts to be paid or advanced under Outstanding Commitments. The Bank shall, unless otherwise required by applicable law, apply any surplus to the claims of any person(s) legally entitled thereto with any remaining surplus paid to the Member at such time and in such manner as the Bank shall deem fit irrespective of any manifestation of any contrary intention or desire on the part of the Member or the provisions of any other agreement between the Bank and the Member.

No notice to or demand on the Member in any case shall entitle the Member to any other or further notice or demand in the same, or similar or other circumstances. Any forbearance, failure, or delay by the Bank in exercising any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise by the Bank of any right, power, or remedy hereunder shall not preclude the further exercise thereof. Every right, power, and remedy of the Bank shall continue in full force and effect until specifically waived by the Bank in writing.

Section 5.04 JURISDICTION; LEGAL FEES. In any action or proceeding brought by the Bank or the Member in order to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement, the parties hereby consent to, and agree that they will submit to, the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois or, if such action or proceeding may not be brought in Federal court, the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Illinois located in the City of Chicago.
