Securities at a date certain or on demand, against the transfer of funds by Seller. Each such

Confirmation and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
(c) In the case of Transactions terminable upon demand, such demand shall be made by Buyer or
Seller, no later than such time as is customary in accordance with market practice, by telephone

having a fixed term, termination of the Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its
agent of the Purchased Securities and any Income in respect thereof received by Buyer (and not
previously credited or transferred to, or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to
Paragraph 5 hereof) against the transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer.
4. Margin Maintenance
(a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all
Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Buyer is less than the aggregate
Buyer’s Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer may by notice to
Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at Seller’s option, to transfer to Buyer cash or
additional Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional Purchased Securities”), so that
the cash and aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional
Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount
(decreased by the amount of any Margin Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in
which such Buyer is acting as Seller).
(b) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to all
Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s
Margin Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”), then Seller may by notice
to Buyer require Buyer in such Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer cash or Purchased
Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after
deduction of any such cash or any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed
such aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount (increased by the amount of any Margin Excess as of such date
arising from any Transactions in which such Seller is acting as Buyer).
(c) If any notice is given by Buyer or Seller under subparagraph (a) or (b) of this Paragraph at or
before the Margin Notice Deadline on any business day, the party receiving such notice shall
transfer cash or Additional Purchased Securities as provided in such subparagraph no later than the
close of business in the relevant market on such day. If any such notice is given after the Margin
Notice Deadline, the party receiving such notice shall transfer such cash or Securities no later
than the close of business in the relevant market on the next business day following such notice.
(d) Any cash transferred pursuant to this Paragraph shall be attributed to such Transactions as
shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
4
(e) Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the
respective rights of Buyer or Seller (or both) under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph
may be exercised only where a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a
specified dollar amount or a specified percentage of the Repurchase Prices for such Transactions
(which amount or percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering into any such
Transactions).
(f) Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all Transactions hereunder, that the
respective rights of Buyer and Seller under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require
the elimination of a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised
whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction
hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement).
5. Income Payments
Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in
respect of the Securities that is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be
so entitled if the Securities had not been sold to Buyer. Buyer shall, as the parties may agree
with respect to any Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall
reasonably determine in its discretion), on the date such Income is paid or distributed either (i)
transfer to or credit to the account of Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased
Securities subject to such Transaction or (ii) with respect to Income paid in cash, apply the
Income payment or payments to reduce the amount, if any, to be transferred to Buyer by Seller upon
termination of such Transaction. Buyer shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to the
preceding sentence (A) to the extent that such action would result in the creation of a Margin
Deficit, unless prior thereto or simultaneously therewith Seller transfers to Buyer cash or
Additional Purchased Securities sufficient to eliminate such Margin Deficit, or (B) if an Event of
Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is paid
or distributed.
6. Security Interest
Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans,
in the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged
to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Transaction,
and shall be deemed to have granted to Buyer a security interest in, all of the Purchased
Securities with respect to all Transactions hereunder and all Income thereon and other proceeds
thereof.
7. Payment and Transfer
Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all transfers of funds hereunder shall be in immediately
available funds. All Securities transferred by one party hereto to the other party (i) shall be in
suitable form for transfer or shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or
assignment in blank and such other documentation as the party receiving possession may reasonably
request, (ii) shall be transferred on the book-entry system of a Federal Reserve Bank, or (iii)
shall be transferred by any other method
5
mutually acceptable to Seller and Buyer.
8. Segregation of Purchased Securities
To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller
shall be segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to
this Agreement. Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and
records of the holder, including a financial or securities intermediary or a clearing corporation.
All of Seller’s interest in the Purchased Securities shall pass to Buyer on the Purchase Date and,
unless otherwise agreed by Buyer and Seller, nothing in this Agreement shall preclude Buyer from
engaging in repurchase transactions with the Purchased Securities or otherwise selling,
transferring, pledging or hypothecating the Purchased Securities, but no such transaction shall
relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller pursuant to Paragraph
3, 4 or 11 hereof, or of Buyer’s obligation to credit or pay Income to, or apply Income to the
obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof.
Required Disclosure for Transactions in Which the Seller Retains Custody of the
Purchased Securities
Purchased Securities
Seller is not permitted to substitute other securities for those subject to this Agreement
and therefore must keep Buyer’s securities segregated at all times, unless in this Agreement Buyer
grants Seller the right to substitute other securities. If Buyer grants the right to substitute,
this means that Buyer’s securities will likely be commingled with Seller’s own securities during
the trading day. Buyer is advised that, during any trading day that Buyer’s securities are
commingled with Seller’s securities, they [will]* [may]** be subject to liens granted by Seller to
[its clearing bank]* [third parties]** and may be used by Seller for deliveries on other
securities transactions. Whenever the securities are commingled, Seller’s ability to resegregate
substitute securities for Buyer will be subject to Seller’s ability to satisfy [the clearing]*
[any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities.
* | Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. β403.4(e) if Seller is a government securities broker or dealer other than a financial institution. | |
** | Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. β403.5(d) if Seller is a financial institution. |
9. Substitution
(a) Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer, substitute other Securities for
any Purchased Securities. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to Buyer of such other
Securities and transfer to Seller of such Purchased Securities. After substitution, the substituted
Securities shall be deemed to be Purchased Securities.
(b) In Transactions in which Seller retains custody of Purchased Securities, the parties expressly
agree that Buyer shall be deemed, for purposes of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, to have
agreed to and accepted in this Agreement substitution by Seller of other Securities for Purchased
Securities; provided, however, that such other Securities
6
shall have a Market Value at least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for which
they are substituted.
10. Representations
Each of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that (i) it is duly authorized to
execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to
perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution,
delivery and performance, (ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if agreed in
writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in advance of any Transaction by the other
party hereto, as agent for a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this Agreement on its
behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf (or on behalf of any such disclosed principal),
(iv) it has obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in connection with this
Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and such authorizations are in full force and effect and
(v) the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder will
not violate any law, ordinance, charter, by-law or rule applicable to it or any agreement by which
it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected. On the Purchase Date for any Transaction
Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by it.

upon the applicable Purchase Date, (ii) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer
Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date, (iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply
with Paragraph 4 hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one business day’s notice, to comply with
Paragraph 5 hereof, (v) an Act of Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any

hereunder (each an “Event of Default”):
(a) The nondefaulting party may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), declare an Event of Default to have
occurred hereunder and, upon the exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date
for each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to
occur (except that, in the event that the Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as
of the date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be deemed immediately
canceled). The nondefaulting party shall (except upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give
notice to the defaulting party of the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.
(b) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, if the nondefaulting
party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this
Paragraph, (i) the defaulting party’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all Purchased
Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the Repurchase Date determined in accordance with
subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, shall thereupon become immediately due and payable, (ii) all
Income paid after such exercise or deemed exercise shall be retained by the nondefaulting party and
applied to
7
the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party
hereunder, and (iii) the defaulting party shall immediately deliver to the nondefaulting party any
Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in the defaulting party’s possession or
control.
(c) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, upon tender by the
nondefaulting party of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all such
Transactions, all right, title and interest in and entitlement to all Purchased Securities
subject to such Transactions shall be deemed transferred to the nondefaulting party, and
the defaulting party shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to the nondefaulting party.
(d) If the nondefaulting party exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred
to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the nondefaulting party, without prior notice to
the defaulting party, may:
i. | as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Seller, (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give the defaulting party credit for such Purchased Securities in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder; and | ||
ii. | as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, (A) immediately purchase, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities (“Replacement Securities”) of the same class and amount as any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing offer quotation from such a source. |
Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Securities
subject to any Transaction hereunder are instruments traded in a recognized market, (2) in the
absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid or offer quotations for any Security,
the nondefaulting party may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (3) all
prices, bids and offers shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent
contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Securities).
(e) As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer, the defaulting party
shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for any excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by
the nondefaulting party for Replacement Securities over the Repurchase Price for
8
the Purchased Securities replaced thereby and for any amounts payable by the defaulting party under
Paragraph 5 hereof or otherwise hereunder.
(f) For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each Transaction
hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is acting as Buyer shall not increase
above the amount of such Repurchase Price for such Transaction determined as of the
date of the exercise or deemed exercise by the nondefaulting party of the option referred
to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.
(g) The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party for (i) the amount of all
reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the nondefaulting party in connection with
or as a result of an Event of Default, (ii) damages in an amount equal to the cost
(including all fees, expenses and commissions) of entering into replacement transactions
and entering into or terminating hedge transactions in connection with or as a result of an
Event of Default, and (iii) any other loss, damage, cost or expense directly arising or
resulting from the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of a Transaction.
(h) To the extent permitted by applicable law, the defaulting party shall be liable to the
nondefaulting party for interest on any amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder, from the
date the defaulting party becomes liable for such amounts hereunder until such amounts are (i)
paid in full by the defaulting party or (ii) satisfied in full by the exercise of the
nondefaulting party’s rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the defaulting party to the
nondefaulting party under this Paragraph 11(h) shall be at a rate equal to the greater of the
Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the Prime Rate.
(i) The nondefaulting party shall have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise
available to it under any other agreement or applicable law.
12. Single Agreement
Buyer and Seller acknowledge that, and have entered hereinto and will enter into each Transaction
hereunder in consideration of and in reliance upon the fact that, all Transactions hereunder
constitute a single business and contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of
each other. Accordingly, each of Buyer and Seller agrees (i) to perform all of its obligations in
respect of each Transaction hereunder, and that a default in the performance of any such
obligations shall constitute a default by it in respect of all Transactions hereunder, (ii) that
each of them shall be entitled to set off claims and apply property held by them in respect of any
Transaction against obligations owing to them in respect of any other Transactions hereunder and
(iii) that payments, deliveries and other transfers made by either of them in respect of any
Transaction shall be deemed to have been made in consideration of payments, deliveries and other
transfers in respect of any other Transactions hereunder, and the obligations to make any such
payments, deliveries and other transfers may be applied against each other and netted.
13. Notices and Other Communications
Any and all notices, statements, demands or other communications hereunder may be given by a
party to the other by mail, facsimile, telegraph, messenger or otherwise to the address specified
in Annex II hereto, or so sent to such party at any other place specified in a notice of change
of address hereafter received by the other. All notices, demands and
9
requests hereunder may be made orally, to be confirmed promptly in writing, or by other
communication as specified in the preceding sentence.
14. Entire Agreement; Severability
This Agreement shall supersede any existing agreements between the parties containing general
terms and conditions for repurchase transactions. Each provision and agreement herein shall be
treated as separate and independent from any other provision or agreement herein and shall be
enforceable notwithstanding the unenforceability of any such other provision or agreement.
15. Non-assignability; Termination
(a) The rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any
Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, and any such assignment without the prior written consent of the other party
shall be null and void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective
successors and assigns. This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon giving
written notice to the other, except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding such notice,
remain applicable to any Transactions then outstanding.
(b) Subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph 15 shall not preclude a party from assigning,
charging or otherwise dealing with all or any part of its interest in any sum payable to it
under Paragraph 11 hereof.
16. Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to the
conflict of law principles thereof.
17. No Waivers, Etc.
No express or implied waiver of any Event of Default by either party shall constitute a waiver of
any other Event of Default and no exercise of any remedy hereunder by any party shall constitute a
waiver of its right to exercise any other remedy hereunder. No modification or waiver of any
provision of this Agreement and no consent by any party to a departure herefrom shall be effective
unless and until such shall be in writing and duly executed by both of the parties hereto. Without
limitation on any of the foregoing, the failure to give a notice pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) or
4(b) hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date.
18. Use of Employee Plan Assets
(a) If assets of an employee benefit plan subject to any provision of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) are intended to be used by either party hereto (the “Plan
Party”) in a Transaction, the Plan Party shall so notify the other party prior to the Transaction.
The Plan Party shall represent in writing to the other party that the Transaction does not
constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA or is otherwise exempt therefrom, and the other
party may proceed in reliance thereon but shall
10
not be required so to proceed.
(b) Subject to the last sentence of subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, any such
Transaction shall proceed only if Seller furnishes or has furnished to Buyer its most
recent available audited statement of its financial condition and its most recent
subsequent unaudited statement of its financial condition.
(c) By entering into a Transaction pursuant to this Paragraph, Seller shall be deemed (i) to
represent to Buyer that since the date of Seller’s latest such financial statements, there has
been no material adverse change in Seller’s financial condition which Seller has not
disclosed to Buyer, and (ii) to agree to provide Buyer with future audited and unaudited
statements of its financial condition as they are issued, so long as it is a Seller in any
outstanding Transaction involving a Plan Party.
19. Intent
(a) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a “repurchase agreement” as that term is
defined in Section 101 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar
as the type of Securities subject to such Transaction or the term of such Transaction
would render such definition inapplicable), and a “securities contract” as that term is
defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended (except insofar
as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition
inapplicable).
(b) It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Securities delivered to it in
connection with Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to
Paragraph 11 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Transaction as described in
Sections 555 and 559 of Title 11 of the United States Code, as amended.
(c) The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository
institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended
(“FDIA”), then each Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term
is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar
as the type of assets subject to such Transaction would render such definition
inapplicable).
(d) It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and
subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of
1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any
Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or
“covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to
FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that
term is defined in FDICIA).
20. Disclosure Relating to Certain Federal Protections
The parties acknowledge that they have been advised that:
(a) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a broker or dealer registered with
the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) under Section 15 of the Securities
11
Exchange Act of 1934 (“1934 Act”), the Securities Investor Protection Corporation has taken
the position that the provisions of the Securities Investor Protection Act of 1970 (“SIPA”) do not
protect the other party with respect to any Transaction hereunder;
(b) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a government securities
broker or a government securities dealer registered with the SEC under Section 15C of
the 1934 Act, SIPA will not provide protection to the other party with respect to any
Transaction hereunder; and
(c) in the case of Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial institution, funds
held by the financial institution pursuant to a Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and
therefore are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the National
Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as applicable.

at least USD$250,000,000.00.

Affiliate Agreement as the result of the occurrence of any Event in respect of the
Client may, at the option of such JPM Affiliate (and without prior notice to the
Client), and after all
regulatory obligations to futures or options or other exchanges or other regulatory

mean any payment obligation of any description whatsoever (whether arising at such
time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Client to any
JPM Affiliate (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of

obligation is unascertained, a JPM Affiliate may in good faith estimate that
obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party

(5) shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This clause
(5) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off,
combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any entity is at any time
otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise), and shall
not be exercised in contravention of any regulatory requirement or rules or
interest of any commodities, options or futures exchange.

(6) Termination — Miscellaneous. This Annex I-a may be terminated by X.X. Xxxxxx
Securities LLC
upon notice to the Client. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in
respect of this Annex I-a shall not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial
exercise of any right, power or privilege shall not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or
further exercise of that right, power or privilege. Wherever possible, each provision of this
Annex I-a shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law,
but if any provision of this Annex I-a shall be prohibited by or invalid or unenforceable under
such laws, such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition, invalidity or
unenforceability without otherwise affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision or
the remaining provisions of this Annex I-a.

Annex V
Margin for Forward Transactions
Margin for Forward Transactions
This Annex V forms a part of the Master Repurchase Agreement dated as of May 4,
2011 (the “Agreement”) between X.X. Xxxxxx Securities LLC and Provident Mortgage
Capital Associates, Inc. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Annex V
shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.
1. | Definitions. For purposes of the Agreement and this Annex V, the following terms shall have the following meanings: | |
“Forward Exposure”, the amount of loss a party would incur upon canceling a Forward Transaction and entering into a replacement transaction, determined in accordance with market practice or as otherwise agreed by the parties; | ||
“Forward Transaction”, any Transaction agreed to by the parties as to which the Purchase Date has not yet occurred; | ||
“Net Forward Exposure”, the aggregate amount of a party’s Forward Exposure to the other party under all Forward Transactions hereunder reduced by the aggregate amount of any Forward Exposure of the other party to such party under all Forward Transactions hereunder; | ||
“Net Unsecured Forward Exposure”, a party’s Net Forward Exposure reduced by the Market Value of any Forward Collateral transferred to such party (and not returned) pursuant to Paragraph 2 of this Annex V. | ||
2. | Margin Maintenance. |
(a) | If at any time a party (the “In-the-Money Party”) shall have a Net Unsecured Forward Exposure to the other party (the “Out-of-the-Money Party”) under one or more Forward Transactions, the In-the-Money Party may by notice to the Out-of-the-Money Party require the Out-of-the-Money Party to transfer to the In-the-Money Party Securities or cash reasonably acceptable to the In-the-Money Party (together with any Income thereon and proceeds thereof, “Forward Collateral”) having a Market Value sufficient to eliminate such Net Unsecured Forward Exposure. The Out-of-the-Money Party may by notice to the In-the-Money Party require the In-the-Money Party to transfer to the Out-of-the-Money Party Forward Collateral having a Market Value that exceeds the In-the-Money Party’s Net Forward Exposure (“Excess Forward Collateral Amount”). The rights of the parties under this subparagraph shall be in addition to their rights under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of Paragraph 4 and any other provisions of the Agreement. | ||
(b) | The parties may agree, with respect to any or all Forward Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of the parties under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph may be exercised only where a Net Unsecured Forward Exposure or Excess Forward Collateral Amount, as the case may be, exceeds a specified dollar amount or other specified threshold for such Forward |
21
Transactions (which amount or threshold shall be agreed to by the parties prior to entering into any such Forward Transactions). | |||
(c) | The parties may agree, with respect to any or all Forward Transactions hereunder, that the respective rights of the parties under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph to require the elimination of a Net Unsecured Forward Exposure or Excess Forward Collateral Amount, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such a Net Unsecured Forward Exposure or Excess Forward Collateral Amount exists with respect to any single Forward Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other Forward Transaction outstanding hereunder). | ||
(d) | The parties may agree, with respect to any or all Forward Transactions hereunder, that (i) one party shall transfer to the other party Forward Collateral having a Market Value equal to a specified dollar amount or other specified threshold no later than the Margin Notice Deadline on the day such Forward Transaction is entered into by the parties or (ii) one party shall not be required to make any transfer otherwise required to be made under this Paragraph if, after giving effect to such transfer, the Market Value of the Forward Collateral held by such party would be less than a specified dollar amount or other specified threshold (which amount or threshold shall be agreed to by the parties prior to entering into any such Forward Transactions). | ||
(e) | If any notice is given by a party to the other under subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph at or before the Margin Notice Deadline on any business day, the party receiving such notice shall transfer Forward Collateral as provided in such subparagraph no later than the close of business in the relevant market on such business day. If any such notice is given after the Margin Notice Deadline, the party receiving such notice shall transfer such Forward Collateral no later than the close of business in the relevant market on the next business day. | ||
(f) | Upon the occurrence of the Purchase Date for any Forward Transaction and the performance by the parties of their respective obligations to transfer cash and Securities on such date, any Forward Collateral in respect of such Forward Transaction, together with any Income thereon and proceeds thereof, shall be transferred by the party holding such Forward Collateral to the other party; provided, however, that neither party shall be required to transfer such Forward Collateral to the other if such transfer would result in the creation of a Net Unsecured Forward Exposure of the transferor. | ||
(g) | The Pledgor (as defined below) of Forward Collateral may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by the Pledgee (as defined below) thereof, substitute other Securities reasonably acceptable to the Pledgee for any Securities Forward Collateral. Such substitution shall be made by transfer to the Pledgee of such other Securities and transfer to the Pledgor of such Securities Forward Collateral. After substitution, the substituted Securities shall constitute Forward Collateral. |
22
3. | Security Interest. |
(a) | In addition to the rights granted to the parties under Paragraph 6 of the Agreement, each party (“Pledgor”) hereby pledges to the other party (“Pledgee”) as security for the performance of its obligations hereunder, and grants Pledgee a security interest in and right of setoff against, any Forward Collateral and any other cash, Securities or property, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing, transferred by or on behalf of Pledgor to Pledgee or due from Pledgee to Pledgor in connection with the Agreement and the Forward Transactions hereunder. | ||
(b) | Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, a party to whom Forward Collateral has been transferred shall have the right to engage in repurchase transactions with Forward Collateral or otherwise sell, transfer, pledge or hypothecate Forward Collateral, including in respect of loans or other extensions of credit to such party that may be in amounts greater than the Forward Collateral such party is entitled to as security for obligations hereunder, and that may extend for periods of time longer than the periods during which such party is entitled to Forward Collateral as security for obligations hereunder; provided, however, that no such transaction shall relieve such party of its obligations to transfer Forward Collateral pursuant to Paragraph 2 or 4 of this Annex V or Paragraph 11 of the Agreement. |
4. | Events of Default. |
(a) | In addition to the Events of Default set forth in Paragraph 11 of the Agreement, it shall be an additional “Event of Default” if either party fails, after one business day’s notice, to perform any covenant or obligation required to be performed by it under Paragraph 2 or any other provision of this Annex. | ||
(b) | In addition to the other rights of a nondefaulting party under Paragraphs 11 and 12 of the Agreement, if the nondefaulting party exercised or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in Paragraph 11(a) of the Agreement: |
(i) | The nondefaulting party, without prior notice to the defaulting party, may (A) immediately sell, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Forward Collateral subject to any or all Forward Transactions hereunder and apply the proceeds thereof to any amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such Forward Collateral, to give the defaulting party credit for such Forward Collateral in an amount equal to the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing bid quotation from such a source, against any amounts owing by the defaulting party hereunder. | ||
(ii) | Any Forward Collateral held by the defaulting party, together with any Income thereon and proceeds thereof, shall be immediately transferred by |
23
the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party. The nondefaulting party may, at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), and without prior notice to the defaulting party, (i) immediately purchase, in a recognized market (or otherwise in a commercially reasonable manner) at such price or prices as the nondefaulting party may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities (“Replacement Securities”) of the same class and amount as any Securities Forward Collateral that is not delivered by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder or (ii) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of purchasing Replacement Securities, to be deemed to have purchased Replacement Securities at the price therefor on such date, obtained from a generally recognized source or the most recent closing offer quotation from such a source, whereupon the defaulting party shall be liable for the price of such Replacement Securities together with the amount of any cash Forward Collateral not delivered by the defaulting party to the nondefaulting party as required hereunder. |
Unless otherwise provided in Annex I, the parties acknowledge and agree that (1) the Forward Collateral subject to any Forward Transaction hereunder are instruments traded in a recognized market, (2) in the absence of a generally recognized source for prices or bid quotations for any Forward Collateral, the nondefaulting party may establish the source therefor in its sole discretion and (3) all prices and bids shall be determined together with accrued Income (except to the extent contrary to market practice with respect to the relevant Forward Collateral). | ||
5. | No Waivers. Etc. Without limitation of the provisions of Paragraph 17 of the Agreement, the failure to give a notice pursuant to subparagraph (a), (b), (c) or (d) of Paragraph 2 of this Annex V will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a later date. |
24

For these purposes unpaid Income shall be deemed to accrue on a daily basis from (and including) the issue date or the last Income payment date (as the case may be) to (but excluding) the next Income payment date or the maturity date (whichever is earlier); | ||
(b) “Sell Back Differential”, with respect to any Buy/Sell Back Transaction as of any date, the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of the Pricing Rate for such Buy/Sell Back Transaction to the Purchase Price for such Buy/Sell Back Transaction on a 360 day per year basis (unless otherwise agreed by the parties for the Transaction) for the actual number of days during the period commencing on (and including) the Purchase Date for such Buy/Sell Back Transaction and ending on (but excluding) the date of determination; | ||
(c) “Sell Back Price”, with respect to any Buy/Sell Back Transaction: | ||
