PURCHASE
OF BONDS; FEES
Section 3.1. Purchase of Bonds. Subject
to the terms and conditions of the Credit and Liquidity Facility
and this Agreement, the GSEs hereby agree from time to time to
make Liquidity Advances and Mandatory Tender Advances in
accordance with the Credit and Liquidity Facility up to the
amount of the Amount Available and apply the same to the
purchase, at the Purchase Price, of Eligible Bonds which are
tendered pursuant to Optional Tenders or Mandatory Tenders and
which, in either case, the Remarketing Agent has been unable to
remarket or for which remarketing proceeds have not been
received by the Remarketing Agent or the Tender Agent by the
specified time set forth in the Indenture. Each GSE will pay
said Purchase Price with its own funds and not with funds of the
Issuer. The aggregate principal amount of all Bonds purchased on
any Purchase Date shall not exceed either (x) the Principal
Portion or (y) the principal amount of Bonds so tendered
(in either case calculated without giving effect to any purchase
of Bonds by the GSEs on such date) on such date. The aggregate
amount of the Purchase Price comprising interest on Bonds (the
“Interest Component”) purchased on any Purchase Date
shall not exceed the lesser of (i) the Interest Portion on
such date and (ii) the actual aggregate amount of interest
accrued on each such Bond to such Purchase Date; provided
that if the applicable Purchase Date is an Interest Payment
Date, the amount described in this clause (ii) shall be
reduced by the amount of interest payable on each such Eligible
Bond on such Interest Payment Date. The GSEs shall promptly
purchase any Bonds held by the prior liquidity provider at the
close of business on the Effective Date (as defined in the
Credit and Liquidity Facility) for the related Series of Bonds.
Section 3.2. Bank Bonds. Any Bonds
purchased by the GSEs pursuant to Section 3.1 hereof shall
thereupon constitute Bank Bonds and have all of the
characteristics of Bank Bonds as set forth herein and in the
Indenture. All Bank Bonds shall bear interest at the Bank Rate
as described below:
(a) Subject to the provisions of Section 3.2(c)
hereof, all Bank Bonds shall bear interest at the Bank Rate;
provided, however, at no time shall Bank Bonds bear
interest in excess of the Maximum Rate. In the event that Bank
Bonds would bear interest at a rate in excess of the Maximum
Rate for any period, the GSEs shall receive interest on account
of such Bank Bonds only at the Maximum Rate for such period (the
difference between the interest payable to the GSEs if such Bank
Bonds had continuously borne interest at the Bank Rate, and the
interest actually paid to the GSEs at the Maximum Rate is
hereinafter referred to as the “Excess Bank Bond
Interest”). Notwithstanding any subsequent reduction in the
Bank Rate, such Bank Bonds shall bear interest, from and after
the date on which any Excess Bank Bond Interest is accrued, at
the Maximum Rate until the earlier of (i) the date on which
the interest paid to the GSEs on such Bank Bonds in excess of
the Bank Rate, equals such Excess Bank Bond Interest and
(ii) the date such Bank Bonds are redeemed or remarketed
pursuant to the Indenture. The Issuer shall pay to the GSEs or
the Bank Bondholder, as applicable, accrued interest, including
any accrued but unpaid Excess Bank Bond Interest, on such Bank
Bonds on each Interest Payment Date. On the first Business Day
of each week, and otherwise upon the request of the Issuer,
while any Excess Bank Bond Interest is outstanding the GSEs
shall notify the Issuer of the amount of such accrued but unpaid
Excess Bank Bond Interest; provided, however, the failure
to so notify the Issuer shall not effect the accrual of or the
obligation of the Issuer to pay the Excess Bank Bond Interest.
(b) Notwithstanding anything herein or in the Indenture to
the contrary, all amounts owed to the GSEs with respect to Bank
Bonds shall become immediately due and payable on the Payment
Due Date if not repaid or otherwise declared due and payable
prior to such date in accordance with the terms of the Indenture
or of this Agreement.

interest at the Default Rate on any and all amounts owed by the

of the actual number of days elapsed and a 365- or
366-day
year, as the case may be.
Section 3.3. Method of Purchasing.
(a) The GSEs shall not have any responsibility for, or
incur any liability in respect of, any act, or any failure to
act, by the Trustee which results in the failure of the Trustee
to effect the purchase of Bonds for the account of the GSEs with
such funds provided pursuant to the Credit and Liquidity
Facility. Unless the Bonds are Book Entry Bonds, Bonds purchased
pursuant to this Section 3.3(a) shall be registered in the
name of the Custodian or, if directed in writing by GSEs, a
nominee or designee on the Bond Register and shall be promptly
delivered by the Tender Agent to the Custodian to be held as
Bank Bonds or as the GSEs may otherwise direct in writing and,
prior to such delivery, shall be held by the Tender Agent as
agent on behalf of the GSEs. If the Bonds purchased pursuant to
this Section 3.3(a) are Book Entry Bonds, the beneficial
ownership of such Bonds shall be credited to the account of the
Custodian or, if directed in writing by the GSEs, another
nominee or designee of the GSEs, maintained at DTC, and prior to
the sale of any Bank Bond as provided in Section 3.5(a)
hereof. The Interest Component of the Purchase Price paid for
such Bonds shall accrue interest at the Bank Rate and shall be
paid to the GSEs (or the applicable Bank Bondholder) on the next
Interest Payment Date.
(b) In the event that any funds paid by the GSEs to the
Trustee pursuant to the Credit and Liquidity Facility for the
purposes set forth in Section 3.3(a) hereof shall not be
required to be applied to the purchase of Bonds as provided
herein, such funds shall be held and be returned to the GSEs as
soon as practicable by the Trustee and until so returned shall
be held in trust by the Trustee for the account of the GSEs. In
the event that such funds are not returned to the GSEs in
immediately available funds as provided in Section 3.10(a)
hereof by 4:30 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) on the
same day on which such funds were advanced, the Issuer shall pay
or cause to be paid to the GSEs interest on such funds, payable
on demand and in any event on the date on which such funds are

at a price equal to the principal amount thereof, plus any
interest thereon that has accrued to the Sale Date at a rate or
rates of interest applicable to Bonds that are not Bank Bonds

Bondholder any Differential Interest Amount that has accrued
with respect to the sale of any Bank Bonds as provided in
Section 4.1 hereof. After the termination of the Credit and
Liquidity Facility with respect to any Bank Bond, such Bank Bond
may no longer be remarketed by the Issuer or the Remarketing
Agent and shall remain a Bank Bond until paid in full or
purchased from the Bank Bondholder.
(c) Sale by Remarketing of Bank Bonds. Upon
receipt of a Purchase Notice prior to the Termination Date the
Bank Bondholder shall deliver the Bank Bonds specified in the
Purchase Notice to the Tender Agent (or, in the case of Bank

ownership thereof to be credited to the account of the

Bank Bondholder of the Sale Price, notify the Issuer that such
Bonds are no longer Bank Bonds. On the Sale Date, the

of a Bank Bond pursuant to this Section 3.5 shall be
without recourse to the seller and without representation or
warranty of any kind.

Bondholders. Upon purchasing Bank Bonds, Bank
Bondholders shall be entitled to and, where necessary, shall be
deemed assigned all rights and privileges accorded Bondholders,
and any additional rights and privileges as to payment of
interest and redemption that are provided by this Agreement with
respect to Bank Bonds. Upon purchasing Bank Bonds, Bank
Bondholders shall be recognized by the Issuer and the Tender
Agent as the true and lawful owners (or, in the case of Book
Entry Bonds, beneficial owners) of such Bank Bonds, free from
any claims, liens, security interests, equitable interests and
other interests of the Issuer, except as such interests might
exist under the terms of the Bank Bonds with respect to all
owners (or, in the case of Book Entry Bonds, beneficial owners)
of the Bonds.

thereon, excluding, however, taxes imposed on or measured by the
net income or capital of each GSE by any jurisdiction or any
political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein
solely as a result of a connection between the GSE and such
jurisdiction or political subdivision (all such non-excluded
taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and
liabilities being hereinafter referred to as “Taxes”).
If the Issuer shall be required by law to withhold or deduct any
Taxes imposed by the United States or any political subdivision
thereof from or in respect of any sum payable hereunder to a
GSE, (i) the sum payable shall be increased as may be
necessary so that after making all required deductions
(including deductions applicable to additional sums payable

equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions
been made, (ii) the Issuer shall make such deductions and
(iii) the Issuer shall pay the full amount deducted to the
relevant taxation authority or other authority in accordance
with applicable law. If the Issuer shall make any payment under
this Section 3.8 to or for the benefit of a GSE with
respect to Taxes and if either of the GSEs shall claim any
credit or deduction for such Taxes against any other taxes
payable by that GSE to any taxing jurisdiction in the United
States then that GSE shall pay to the Issuer an amount equal to
the amount by which such other taxes are actually reduced;
provided that the aggregate amount payable by a GSE
pursuant to this sentence shall not exceed the aggregate amount
previously paid by the Issuer with respect to such Taxes. In
addition, the Issuer agrees to pay any present or future stamp,
recording or documentary taxes and any other excise or property
taxes, charges or similar levies that arise under the laws of
the United States of America or the State of [STATE], the
District of Columbia and Commonwealth of Virginia from any
payment made hereunder or from the execution or delivery or
otherwise with respect to this Agreement (hereinafter referred
to as “Other Taxes”). Each GSE shall provide to the
Issuer within a reasonable time a copy of any written
notification it receives with respect to Other Taxes owing by
the Issuer to such GSE hereunder provided that a GSE’s
failure to send such notice shall not relieve the Issuer of its
obligation to pay such amounts hereunder.
(b) Indemnity. The Issuer shall, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify each GSE for the full
amount of Taxes and Other Taxes including any Taxes or Other
Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this
Section 3.8 paid by such GSE or any liability (including
penalties, interest and expenses) arising therefrom or with
respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or Other Taxes were
correctly or legally asserted. Each GSE agrees to give notice to
the Issuer of the assertion of any claim against such GSE
relating to such Taxes or
12
Other Taxes as promptly as is practicable after being notified
of such assertion; provided that the GSE’s failure
to notify the Issuer promptly of such assertion shall not
relieve the Issuer of its obligation under this
Section 3.8. Payments by the Issuer pursuant to this
indemnification shall be made within thirty (30) days from
the date a GSE makes written demand therefor, which demand shall
be accompanied by a certificate describing in reasonable detail
the basis thereof. Each GSE agrees to repay to the Issuer any
refund (including that portion of any interest that was included
as part of such refund) with respect to Taxes or Other Taxes
paid by the Issuer pursuant to this Section 3.8 received by
such GSE for Taxes or Other Taxes that were paid by the Issuer
pursuant to this Section 3.8 and to contest, with the
cooperation and at the expense of the Issuer, any such Taxes or
Other Taxes which the GSEs or the Issuer reasonably believes not
to have been properly assessed.
(c) Notice. Within thirty (30) days
after the date of any payment of Taxes by the Issuer, the Issuer
shall furnish to both GSEs or the applicable GSE, the original
or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing payment thereof. To
the extent permitted by law, the Issuer shall compensate each
GSE for all reasonable losses and expenses sustained by a GSE as
a result of any failure by the Issuer to so furnish such copy of
such receipt.

implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule, treaty or
regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by any
court, central bank or other Governmental Agency (in each case,
whether or not having the force of law), or compliance by such
GSE with any request or directive of any such court, central
bank or other Governmental Agency (whether or not having the
force of law), shall (A) change the basis of taxation of
payments to such GSE of any amounts payable hereunder (except
for taxes on the overall net income or capital of such GSE),

deposit or similar requirement against making or maintaining its
obligations under this Agreement or assets held by, or deposit

of any event referred to in clause (A), (B) or

making or maintaining its obligations hereunder, or to reduce
the amount of any sum received or receivable by such GSE
hereunder, then, upon request in writing by a GSE, the Issuer
shall pay to such GSE, at such time and in such amount as is set
forth in paragraph (c) of this Section 3.9, such
additional amount or amounts as will compensate such GSE for

implementation of, or any change in, any law, rule or
regulation, or any policy, guideline or directive of, or any
change in the interpretation or administration thereof by, any
court, central bank or other Governmental Agency, or compliance
by such GSE with any directive of or guidance from any central
bank or other authority (in each case, whether or not having the
force of law), shall impose, modify or deem applicable any
capital adequacy or similar requirement (including, without
limitation, a request or requirement that affects the manner in
which such GSE allocates capital resources to its commitments,
including its obligations under lines of credit) that either
(A) affects or would affect the amount of capital to be
maintained by such GSE or (B) reduces or would reduce the
rate of return on the capital of such GSE to a level below that
which that such GSE could have achieved but for such
circumstances (taking into consideration such GSE’s
policies with respect to capital adequacy) then, upon request in
writing by such GSE, the Issuer shall pay to such GSE, at such
time and in such amount as is set forth in paragraph (c) of
this Section, such additional
13
amount or amounts as will compensate such GSE for such cost of
maintaining such increased capital or such reduction the rate of
return on such GSE’s capital.
(c) All payments of amounts referred to in paragraphs
(a) and (b) of this Section shall be due thirty
(30) days following the Issuer’s receipt of notice
thereof in writing from a GSE and shall be payable, in full, on
the next succeeding monthly payment date that the Facility Fee
described in
Section 3.7(a)
hereof is due and payable. Interest on the sums due as described
in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this Section, and in the
preceding sentence, shall begin to accrue from the date when the
payments were first due and shall otherwise be payable on the
next Interest Payment Date; provided, that from and after
the required date of payment, interest shall begin to accrue on
such obligations at a rate per annum equal to the Default Rate
until such delinquent payments have been paid in full. A
certificate as to such increased cost, increased capital or
reduction in return incurred by a GSE as a result of any event
mentioned in paragraphs (a) or (b) of this Section
setting forth, in reasonable detail, the basis for calculation
and the amount of such calculation shall be submitted by the GSE
to the Issuer and shall be conclusive (absent manifest error) as
to the amount thereof. In making the determinations contemplated
by the above referenced certificate, a GSE may make such
reasonable estimates, assumptions, allocations and the like that
the GSEs in good faith determine to be appropriate.
Section 3.10. Computations: Payments.
(a) Fees, interest and other amounts payable to or to the
order of a GSE hereunder (other than the Facility Fee) shall be
computed on the basis of a year of 365 or 366 days, as
applicable, for actual days elapsed, and interest on Bonds and
Bank Bonds shall be computed on the same basis. Any payments
received by, or as directed by, a GSE later than 2:00 p.m.
(Washington, D.C. time) on any day shall be deemed to have
been paid on the next succeeding Business Day and interest shall
accrue thereon until such next Business Day at the rate
applicable thereto. All payments to a GSE hereunder shall be
made in Dollars and in immediately available funds. Unless a GSE
shall otherwise direct, all such payments shall be made by means
of wire transfer of funds through the Federal Reserve Wire
System to the Custodian or such other account as either Xxxxxxx
Mac or Xxxxxx Mae may specify in writing from time to time.
(b) The Issuer agrees to pay to each GSE on each Purchase
Date or Sale Date, as applicable, an amount equal to any charge
imposed on such GSE pursuant to the Indenture in connection with
the transfer or exchange of Bonds. The Issuer agrees to cause
the Bond Registrar to give each GSE timely notice of each such
charge, including the amount thereof.
(c) Payments made to a GSE under this Agreement shall first
be applied to any fees, costs, charges or expenses payable to
such GSE hereunder, next to the interest component of any Credit
Enhancement Advance, next to the principal component of any
Credit Enhancement Advance, next to any past due interest, next
to any current interest due, and then to outstanding principal
of Bank Bonds.
(d) Any amounts due and payable and remaining unpaid under
this Agreement shall accrue interest at the Default Rate until
paid, anything to the contrary herein notwithstanding.
Section 3.11. Voluntary Termination. Upon
(a) providing the GSEs (with a copy to the Trustee) with at
least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice (except
that no prior notice shall be required in connection with a
termination following the default by either of the GSEs in
honoring its payment obligations hereunder), and (b) paying
to the GSEs all amounts then owed to the GSEs hereunder,
including all principal and accrued interest owing on any Bank
Bonds (but not any termination fee or
14
penalty) and payment of the GSEs’ attorneys fees and
expenses, the Issuer may with notice to the Trustee terminate
the Credit and Liquidity Facility and this Agreement.
Section 3.12. Nature of Obligations.
Pursuant to the Indenture, the Issuer has granted to the
Bondholders of the Bonds, including any Bank Bonds, a first
priority security interest, on a parity with the security
interest granted to the other Bondholders of all Parity Debt
pursuant to the Indenture, in the Security.
To the extent permitted under the Indenture, the Issuer hereby
agrees that fees and other amounts payable to each GSE (other
than principal and interest on Bank Bonds) shall either
(a) constitute Program Expenses pursuant to, and as defined
in, the Indenture and, pursuant to the Indenture, will be paid
from the Revenue Fund when due or (b) will be payable on
the same priority as debt service on the Bonds, whichever is the
more senior priority. The Issuer further agrees that to the
extent sufficient funds are not available in the Revenue Fund to
pay such fees and other amounts when due for any reason, the
Issuer will immediately pay or cause to be paid such fees and
other amounts from available funds of the Issuer.
Section 3.13. Tax Ownership. Nothing in
this Agreement requires, and nothing in this Agreement is
intended by the parties to require, that either GSE be or be
deemed the owner of any of the Bank Bonds for federal income tax
purposes.

“Payment Due Date”). In addition to repayment of the
interest due on each Bank Bond on each Interest Payment Date and
each Payment Due Date as set forth in the immediately preceding

unpaid by the Issuer on a Sale Date may be paid on each Payment
Due Date set forth in clauses

the final day of the Term Out Period.
(b) Subject to the payment of any Bank Bond as provided in
Section 4.1(a) hereof, each Bank Bond will automatically
become subject to a Term Out beginning the last day of the

extent a representation or warranty relates specifically to an
earlier date (in which case such representation and warranty
shall be true and correct as of such date); and (ii) no
Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing. On the
commencement date of each Term Out Period, the Issuer shall be
deemed to have represented and warranted to the GSEs that the
conditions set forth in (i) and (ii) of the
immediately preceding sentence have been satisfied. If either
(i) or (ii) cannot be satisfied as of such date, the
Bank Bonds shall be immediately due and payable. The principal
and interest on each Bank Bond subject to a Term Out Period
shall be paid by or on behalf of the Issuer (i) in
accordance with the amortization required under the Indenture
for each particular Series of Bonds (as if there were no Bank
Bonds of such Series of Bonds) and (ii) upon the occurrence
of any of the events set forth in Section 4.1(a)(i) through
and including Section 4.1(a)(v) above and shall, in
addition thereto but subject to the sources set forth in the
Indenture, be repaid by or on behalf of the Issuer no later than
the final day of the Term Out Period.

electronic or telephonic, shall be promptly confirmed in
writing), in whole or in part but, if in part, in a minimum
aggregate principal amount of $500,000 and integral multiples of
$100,000 in excess thereof (or, in any event, in whole). Any
prepayment of principal by the Issuer of a Bank Bond (including
any prepayment pursuant to the sinking fund requirements
associated with the related Bank Bond) shall be credited against
the next succeeding payment due on the Bank Bond. Any such
redemption or payment shall be applied equally to Bank Bonds
purchased hereunder by each of the GSEs.

delivered to the GSEs, does not contain any untrue statement of

state a material fact necessary to make the statements therein,
in the light of the circumstances under which made, not
misleading, except no representation is made as to information
furnished in writing by the GSEs expressly for inclusion therein.
Section 6.9. Bonds. Each Bond is duly
issued under the Indenture and each such Bond is entitled to the
benefits thereof. The proceeds of the Bonds have been used to
finance residential mortgages, and principal and interest on the
Bonds will be paid primarily from the cash flow from said
residential mortgages.
Section 6.10. Assignment of Bonds. The
Bank Bonds purchased pursuant to Article III hereof will be
transferred to the GSEs free and clear of all liens, security
interests or claims of any Person other than the GSEs, except
for consensual liens or other security interests as may be
created by the GSEs. The Bonds (including the Bank Bonds) are
secured by a first priority perfected security interest [pledge,
lien and assignment] [edit as appropriate], in and to the
Security, as and to the extent provided in the Indenture and
described in Section 3.12 hereof and, except as
contemplated by the Indenture, the Issuer has not pledged or
granted a lien, security interest or other encumbrance of any
kind on the Security.
Section 6.11. Incorporation of Representations and
Warranties. The Issuer hereby makes to the GSEs
the same representations and warranties as were made by it in
the Indenture and the other Related Documents to which the
Issuer is a party, which representations and warranties,
together with the related definitions of terms contained
therein, are hereby incorporated by reference with the same
effect
20
as if each and every such representation and warranty and
definition were set forth herein in its entirety and were made
as of the date hereof.
Section 6.12. Financial Statements. The
statement of net assets of the Issuer as of its last audited
financial statements, and the related statement of revenues,
expenses and changes in net assets for the year then ended and
the auditors’ reports with respect thereto, copies of which
have heretofore been furnished to the GSEs, are complete and
correct in all material respects and fairly present the
financial condition, changes in fund equity and results of
operations of the Issuer, as the case may be, at such dates and
for such periods, and were prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, consistently applied. Since the
date of the last audited financial statements, there has been no
material adverse change in the condition (financial or
otherwise) or operations of the Issuer, except as disclosed in
such Official Statement, and other documents provided by the
Issuer to the GSEs. Since the date of such Official Statement no
transaction or event shall have occurred and no change shall
have occurred in the condition (financial or otherwise) or
operations of the Issuer which materially adversely affects the
issuance of any of the Bonds, the security for any of the Bonds,
or the Issuer’s ability to repay when due its obligations
under this Agreement, any of the Bonds and the Related Documents.
Section 6.13. Complete and Correct
Information. All information, reports and other
papers and data with respect to the Issuer furnished to the GSEs
were, at the time the same were so furnished, complete and
correct in all material respects. Any financial, budget and
other projections furnished to the GSEs were prepared in good
faith on the basis of the assumptions stated therein, which
assumptions were fair and reasonable in light of conditions
existing at the time of delivery of such financial, budget or
other projections, and represented, and as of the date of this
representation, represent, the Issuer’s best estimate of
the Issuer’s future financial performance. No fact is known
to the Issuer that materially and adversely affects or in the
future may (so far as it can reasonably foresee) materially and
adversely affect the security for any of the Bonds, or the
Issuer’s ability to repay when due its obligations under
this Agreement, any of the Bonds and the Related Documents that
has not been set forth in the Official Statement referenced in
Section 6.8 hereof or in the financial statements and other
documents referred to in this Section 6.13 or in such
information, reports, papers and data or otherwise disclosed in
writing to the GSEs. The Issuer has delivered to Xxxxxx Xxx and
Xxxxxxx Mac true and correct copies of: (i) the Indenture
with all amendments thereto; (ii) the other Related
Documents to which the Issuer is a party; and (iii) all
other documents executed by the Issuer in connection with the
issuance of the Bonds with all amendments thereto. Taken as a
whole, the documents furnished and statements made by the Issuer
in connection with the negotiation, preparation or execution of
this Agreement and the Related Documents do not contain untrue
statements of material facts or omit to state material facts
necessary to make the statements contained therein in light of
the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
Section 6.14. No Proposed Legal
Changes. There is no amendment, or to the
knowledge of the Issuer, proposed amendment certified for
placement on a statewide ballot, to the Constitution of the
State or any published administrative interpretation of the
Constitution of the State or any State law, or any legislation
that has passed either house of the State legislature, or any
published judicial decision interpreting any of the foregoing,
the effect of which is to materially adversely affect the
issuance of any of the Bonds, the security for any of the Bonds,
or the Issuer’s ability to repay when due its obligations
under this Agreement, any of the Bonds, and the other Related
Documents.
Section 6.15. The Tender Agent and the Remarketing
Agent. The financial institution identified as
Trustee (or a successor or assign approved in writing by the
GSEs) is the duly appointed and acting Tender Agent, and the
financial institution identified as the Remarketing Agent (or a
successor or assign) approved in writing by the GSEs) is the
duly appointed and acting Remarketing Agent for the Bonds.
21
Section 6.16. [Reserved.]
Section 6.17. No Sovereign Immunity. To
the extent permitted by laws of the State, the Issuer hereby
waives the defense of sovereign immunity in any proceeding by
the GSEs to enforce a breach of the contractual obligations of
the Issuer under this Agreement.
Section 6.18. Interest. None of the
Indenture, the other Related Documents or the Bonds provide for
any payments that would violate any applicable law relating to
permissible maximum rates of interest.
Section 6.19. Investment Obligations. As
of the Effective Date, the Issuer has no knowledge that it has
made any material investment, or entered into any agreement for
the purpose of effecting any such investment, which is not
permitted to be made pursuant to the Act and the Indenture.
Section 6.20. Tax-Exempt Status. Solely
with respect to those Series of Bonds that bear interest that is
intended to be tax exempt, the Issuer has not taken any action
or omitted to take any action, and knows of no action taken or
omitted to be taken by any other person or entity, which action,
if taken or omitted, would cause interest on those Series of
Bonds to be subject to personal income taxes levied by the
Federal Government.
Section 6.21. Security. The Bonds
(including any Bank Bonds and interest thereon and any mandatory
prepayments thereof) and the Issuer’s obligations under
this Agreement are secured under the Indenture by the Security
and are [IF PROVIDED IN THE APPLICABLE INDENTURE —
backed by the full faith and credit of the Issuer] payable out
of any of the Issuer’s revenues, moneys or assets legally
available therefor, subject only to agreements made with holders
of notes and Bonds other than the bonds (including the Bonds and

obligations under the Indenture includes a debt service reserve
fund which is funded in the amount required under the Indenture
and which has not, as of the date hereof, been drawn upon.]

ARTICLE VII
COVENANTS
The Issuer covenants and agrees that, so long as any of the
Bonds shall be Outstanding or any amounts remain unpaid
hereunder:
Section 7.1. Payment Obligations. The
Issuer shall promptly pay or cause to be paid all amounts
payable by it hereunder and under the Related Documents
according to the terms hereof or thereof and shall duly perform
each of its obligations under this Agreement and the other
Related
22
Documents to which it is a party. All payments of principal,
interest and any other sums due hereunder shall be made in the
amounts required hereunder without any reduction or setoff,
notwithstanding the assertion of any right of recoupment or
setoff or of any counterclaim by the Issuer. The Issuer’s
annual budget shall include the payment of all amounts payable
by the Issuer hereunder, and, if applicable, the Issuer shall
use its best efforts to cause the making of appropriations for
payment of such amounts.
Section 7.2. Related Documents.
(a) The Issuer agrees that it will perform and comply in
all material respects with each and every covenant and agreement
required to be performed or observed by it in each Related
Document to which it is a party and in each case such
provisions, together with the related definitions of terms
contained therein, are hereby incorporated by reference herein
with the same effect as if each and every such provision were
set forth herein in its entirety.
(b) The Issuer shall not enter into any new or replacement
Related Document and shall not amend, supplement or otherwise
modify in any material respect (or permit any of the foregoing),
or request or agree to any consent or waiver under, or effect or
permit the cancellation, acceleration or termination of, or
(except as otherwise permitted under the Related Documents)
release or permit the release of any collateral held under, any
of the Related Documents without the prior written consent of
each of the GSEs; provided, however, that the consent of
the GSEs shall not be required with respect to supplements
entered into solely for the purpose of providing for the
issuance of a series of bonds pursuant to the Indenture, except
as provided in Section 7.25(a) below. With respect to
Indenture amendments, the determination of the GSEs as to the
materiality of an amendment shall be controlling.
(c) The Issuer shall at all times cause to be in place a
Remarketing Agent acceptable to the GSEs. The Issuer will
covenant to cause the Remarketing Agent to use its best efforts
at all times to remarket Bonds (including, without limitation,
Bank Bonds held prior to the termination of the Credit and
Liquidity Facility) at interest rates up to the Maximum Rate. If
the Remarketing Agent fails to remarket any Bank Bonds for 30
consecutive calendar days, or otherwise fails to perform its
duties under the Remarketing Agreement, then the Issuer agrees,
at the written request of a GSE, to cause the Remarketing Agent
to be replaced with a Remarketing Agent reasonably acceptable to
the GSEs. The Remarketing Agreement shall obligate the
Remarketing Agent to use its best efforts to remarket Bonds
(including, without limitation, Bank Bonds) up to the Maximum
Rate. The Remarketing Agreement shall provide that the
Remarketing Agent may not resign until a new remarketing agent
is in place unless otherwise consented to by the GSEs. The GSEs
shall be third party beneficiaries to the Remarketing Agreement.
Section 7.3. Reporting
Requirements. (a) Books and Records;
GAAP. The Issuer shall keep proper books of record and
account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of
all dealings and transactions of or in relation to affairs,
operations, transactions and activities of the Issuer in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
applicable to governmental entities, consistently applied.
(b) Non-Public Information. As used in
this section, “Information” means any information
described in subsection (c) and “Non-Public
Information” means any of the Information that, as of the
date that such Information is due to be provided to the GSEs
pursuant to subsection (c), the Issuer has not released to
the general public or otherwise is not in the public domain. To
the extent that any of the Information described in
subsection (c) is Non-Public Information, each of the
following shall apply:
23
(i) The Issuer may provide such Non-Public Information to
the GSEs but, subject to clause (ii) below, is not
obligated to do so. If the Issuer elects not to provide
Non-Public Information, it shall identify the categories of
Information that are then Non-Public Information and so inform
the GSEs of that fact at the time such information is otherwise
due to be provided under subsection (c);
(ii) If the Issuer elects not to provide Non-Public
Information as stated in clause (i) above, but a GSE
determines that the absence of any such information is a
material impairment to its obligation to conduct its business in
a safe and sound manner or is inconsistent with the requirements
of applicable law or regulation, then the Issuer will provide
such Information to that GSE at the times and as otherwise
required by subsection (c); and
(iii) To the extent that the Issuer actually provides
Non-Public Information pursuant to subsection (c), the
Issuer will label such information as Non-Public Information and
will segregate all Non-Public Information so that a GSE which
elects not to look at the Non-Public Information can do so.
(c) Information. The Issuer agrees to
furnish to each GSE a copy of each of the following:
(i) On the date that is the earlier of (i) ninety
(90) days after the end of each quarter of each fiscal year
of the Issuer and (ii) the day such information is first

Issuer’s auditor or nationally recognized independent
certified public accountants stating that they have (except as

that such audit report need not be submitted until one hundred
eighty (180) days after the end of the relevant fiscal
year);
(ii) On the date that is the earlier of (i) ninety

Indenture pursuant to which Bonds are outstanding consisting of
a statement of operations and a statement of cash flows under
each such Indenture for such period and, with respect to the
report provided after the end of each fiscal year, there shall
also be included a statement of the changes in net assets under
each such Indenture for such period. The financial statements
referred to above shall be set forth in reasonable detail and

its obligations under this Agreement, any of the Bonds, and the
Related Documents.

(a) constitute Program Expenses pursuant to, and as defined
in, the Indenture and, pursuant to the Indenture, will be paid
from the Revenue Fund when due or (b) will be payable on
the same priority as debt service on the Bonds, whichever is the
more senior priority. The Issuer further agrees that to the
extent sufficient funds are not available in the Revenue Fund to
pay such fees and other amounts when due for any reason, the
Issuer will immediately pay or cause to be paid such fees and
other amounts from available funds of the Issuer.

consolidate with or merge into another governmental entity that
assumes in writing all the obligations of Issuer in form and
substance satisfactory to the GSEs and such consolidations or
merger will not impair or adversely affect the security
supporting its obligations to the GSEs or otherwise have a
material adverse effect upon the Bonds, this
Reimbursement
Agreement or the Related Documents.
Section 7.17. Swap Termination Fees. So
long as this Agreement remains in effect, the Issuer shall not
permit any swap termination fees to be payable on a basis senior

better assuring, conveying, granting, assigning and confirming
all and singular the rights of the GSEs hereunder or payment of
the obligations of the Issuer arising under or pursuant to this

regulation or judicial process or upon the lawful demand of any
court or agency having jurisdiction over such Participant.

furnishing the same to the Remarketing Agent, a copy of any
written notice furnished by the Issuer to the Remarketing Agent
pursuant to the Indenture indicating a proposed conversion or
change of the interest rate on a Series of Bonds to a rate other
than a variable rate. The Issuer shall not consummate any such
conversion without the prior written consent of each of the
GSEs. In addition, the Issuer will not defease, nor allow the
defeasance of, the Bonds without having contemporaneously
satisfied all of its obligations hereunder, including the Bank
Bonds. The Issuer and Trustee hereby recognize that any such
conversion of the interest rate mode shall result in a
termination of the Credit and Liquidity Facility with respect to
the Series of Bonds so converted if the entire Series of Bonds
is so corrected.

Issuer shall not permit any funds invested under the Indenture
to be invested in obligations, securities or other investments

investments with funds pledged to payment of Bonds or amounts

related to such Series of Bonds;

consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for
the specific purpose for which given.
(b) With respect to each GSE, to the extent permitted by
law, the Issuer assumes all risks of the acts or omissions of

and Liquidity Facility, except only that the Issuer shall have a
claim against a GSE, and such GSE shall be liable to the Issuer
to the extent, but only to the extent, of any direct, as opposed
to consequential, damages suffered by the Issuer which the
Issuer proves (as evidenced by a final decision by a court of
competent jurisdiction) were caused by such GSE’s gross
negligence or willful failure to make payment under the Credit
and Liquidity Facility strictly in accordance with the terms

each GSE may accept documents that appear on their face to be in
order, without responsibility for further investigation,
regardless of any notice or information to the contrary.
(c) The Issuer assumes all risks associated with the
acceptance by each GSE of documents received by
telecommunication, it being agreed that the use of
telecommunication devices is for the benefit of the Issuer and
that each GSE assume no liabilities or risks with respect
thereto.
Section 10.2. Costs and Expenses.
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Issuer agrees to

with the execution and delivery of and consummation of the
transactions contemplated under this Agreement and the Related
Document, including, without limitation, (i) the offering,
sale, remarketing or resale of Bonds (including, without
limitation, by reason of any untrue statement or alleged untrue
statement contained or incorporated by reference in any
preliminary official statement or official statement, or in any
supplement or amendment thereof, prepared with respect to the
Bonds, or the omission or alleged omission to state therein a
material fact necessary to make such statements, in the light of
the circumstances under which they are or were made, not
misleading or the failure to deliver a preliminary official
statement or an official statement to any offeree or purchaser
of Bonds) and (ii) the execution and delivery of, or
payment or failure to pay by any Person (other than a GSE as and
when required by the terms and provisions hereof) under, this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Issuer shall not
be required to indemnify a GSE for any claims, damages, losses,
liabilities, costs or expenses to the extent, but only to the
extent, caused by (a) the willful misconduct or gross
negligence of such GSE (including without limitation, failure of
a GSE to honor its obligations to advance funds upon the
satisfaction of the applicable conditions precedent set forth in
the Credit and Liquidity Facility and in accordance with the
terms of the Credit and Liquidity Facility ) or (b) the
material inaccuracy of any information included or incorporated
by reference in any official statement referred to in
Section 6.8 hereof concerning a GSE which was furnished in

Participant shall, except as set forth in the following clause

GSE with respect to any matters under this Agreement and no such

Issuer any provision hereunder; (iii) no Participant shall

invested in obligations exempt from federal income taxation

provision.

MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT AND ANY OTHER DOCUMENTS

and the same instrument.

Section 10.12. Losses Relating to Telephonic
Notices. The Issuer hereby agrees to compensate
the GSEs for the loss of use of funds in the event the GSEs
disburse funds under the Credit and Liquidity Facility
(a) in any attempt to make purchases of Bonds based upon
telephonic requests made by any Person or Persons which the GSEs
in good faith believes to be the Tender Agent or its designees
(but the foregoing shall not imply any standard of care against
the GSEs with respect to requests made in any other manner,
except as otherwise expressly agreed herein), and (b) in
any amount in excess of that actually required to purchase Bonds
due to the Tender Agent incorrectly stating such amount in its
Purchase Notice (to the extent such loss of use of funds is not
covered by Section 3.3(b) hereof). A certificate of the
GSEs as to the amount of any such loss shall be conclusive,
absent manifest error. The Issuer shall be entitled to payment
and reimbursement by the Tender Agent for the amount of such
loss that resulted from the negligence or misconduct of the
Tender Agent.
Section 10.13. Severability. If any
provision of this Agreement shall be held or deemed to be or
shall in fact be illegal, inoperative or unenforceable, the same
shall not affect any other provision or provisions herein
contained or render the same invalid, inoperative or
unenforceable to any extent whatever.
Section 10.14. Notices to, and Independent Rights of,
the GSEs. Each GSE is entitled to each notice
required to be given hereunder and notice to one GSE shall not
constitute notice to the other GSE nor shall it satisfy a
requirement that the GSEs be provided notice of an event. Each
GSE shall be entitled to exercise its rights hereunder
independently and no consent, approval or waiver which is
required of the GSEs hereunder shall be effective unless
provided by each GSE separately.
