(c) In the case of Transactions terminable upon demand, such demand

termination will be effective. On the date specified in such

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
4
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.
(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
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 mutually acceptable to Seller
and Buyer.
6
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 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 B403.4(e) if Seller is a
government securities broker or dealer other than a financial
institution.
**Language to be used under 17 C.F.R. B403.5(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 shall have a Market Value at
least equal to the Market Value of the Purchased Securities for
which they are substituted.
7
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

applicable to it or any agreement by which it is bound or by which any

Buyer and Seller shall each be deemed to repeat all the foregoing
representations made by it.

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)
8
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 the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other

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

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 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

the option referred to in subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph.

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.
10
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 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.
11
(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 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.
12
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 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
13
(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,

accordance with the terms of the Agreement the Pricing Rate on 23
23
each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and
notify Seller of such rate for such period on the Reset Date. For purposes of
this Section 3(b), the "Transaction Conditions Precedent" shall be deemed to

(1) no Default or Event of Default under the Agreement shall

held back from funds remitted to Seller by Buyer);
(8) none of the following shall have occurred and/or be
continuing:
(i) an event or events shall have occurred resulting
in the effective absence of a "repo market" or comparable
"lending market" for financing mortgage securities or mortgage
loans or an event or events shall have occurred resulting in
Buyer not being able to finance any Transactions and/or

(ii) an event or events shall have occurred resulting
in the effective absence of a "securities market" for securities
backed by mortgage loans or an event or events shall have
occurred resulting in Buyer not being able to sell securities
backed by mortgage loans at prices which would have been
reasonable prior to such event or events; or
24
(iii) there shall have occurred a material adverse

the financial condition of Buyer which effects (or can
reasonably be expected to effect) materially and adversely the
ability of Buyer to fund its obligations under the Agreement;
(9) the purchase by Buyer from Seller of the Purchased Loans
shall be completed prior to the Commitment Expiration Date and shall not
result in non-compliance with the Facility Limits or the aggregate of
the Purchase Prices for all Transactions to exceed the Facility Amount;
and
(10) Seller shall have delivered to Buyer a due
authorization, execution and enforceability opinion of Seller's counsel,
in such form reasonably acceptable to Buyer, including an opinion that
Buyer has a perfected security interest in such collateral as is the
subject of the Transaction, subject to reasonable and customary
exceptions, qualifications and assumptions.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement, in
no event shall any Transaction hereunder be consummated until such time as Buyer
has received all of the following (to the extent not delivered as of the Initial
Commitment Commencement Date), each in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to Buyer: (i) the fully executed Custodial Agreement; and (iii) a
control agreement with respect to the Cash Management Account executed by the
Depository (the "Depository Agreement"); and (iv) organizational documents with
respect to each of Seller and Sponsor.
(c) Each Confirmation, together with the Agreement, including this
Annex I, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction(s) covered
thereby unless objected to in writing by Seller no more than two (2) Business
Days after the date such Confirmation is received by Seller. An objection sent
by Seller with respect to any Confirmation must state specifically that the
writing is an objection, must specify the provision(s) of such Confirmation
being objected to by Seller, must set forth such provision(s) in the manner that
Seller believes such provisions should be stated, and must be received by Buyer
no more than two (2) Business Days after such Confirmation is received by
Seller. Seller shall execute a written acceptance accepting each Confirmation
not objected to by Seller within the aforementioned two (2) Business Day period.
(d) Provided no Event of Default exists and no unsatisfied Margin
Call has been made, Seller shall be entitled to partially prepay a portion of
the Repurchase Price with respect to one or more Purchased Loans, or terminate a
Transaction on demand and repurchase the Purchased Loan subject to such
Transaction on any Business Day prior to the Repurchase Date (an "Early Payment
Date" as to any partial prepayment of the Repurchase Price for any Purchased
Loan, and an "Early Repurchase Date" as to an early termination of a
Transaction); provided, however, that Seller:
(i) repurchases on such Early Repurchase Date the Purchased
Loan subject to such Transaction, if Seller has elected to terminate
such Transaction,
25
(ii) notifies Buyer in writing of its intent to partially
prepay the Repurchase Price for a Purchased Loan (including the specific
Early Payment Date and the amount of the prepayment), or to terminate
the Transaction and repurchase the Purchased Loan (including the
specific Early Repurchase Date and identifying with particularity the
Purchased Loan to be repurchased on such Early Repurchase Date), as
applicable, no later than five (5) Business Days prior to such Early
Repurchase Date or Early Payment Date, as applicable, and
(iii) on such Early Repurchase Date (as to each Transactions
which Seller has elected to terminate) pays to Buyer an amount equal to
the sum of the Repurchase Price for the related Transaction and any
other amounts payable under the Agreement (including, without
limitation, Section 3(i) and Section 3(j) of this Annex I) with respect
to such Transaction against transfer to Seller or its agent of the
related Purchased Loan; and
(iv) if a CF Sweep Event exists on any Early Repurchase Date
or Early Payment Date, the repurchase of such Purchased Loan on such
Early Repurchase Date or prepayment of such Purchased Loan on such Early
Payment Date shall cause there to be no more CF Sweep Event, or Seller
shall, simultaneously with the repurchase or prepayment of such
Purchased Loan, prepay a portion of the Repurchase Price of one or more
other Purchased Loans in an amount sufficient such that the CF Sweep
Event shall no longer exist.
(e) On the Repurchase Date (or applicable Early Repurchase Date),
termination of the Transactions will be effected by transfer to Seller or its
agent of the Purchased Loans 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 Section 5 of this Annex I) against the simultaneous
transfer of the Repurchase Price to an account of Buyer. Provided no Event of
Default has occurred and is continuing, all such transfers (and/or releases of
security interests) shall be free and clear of all liens and security interests
created by the Buyer in and to the interest of Buyer in the relevant Purchased
Loans and Purchased Loan Files.
(f) Notwithstanding the foregoing, if all of the Extension
Conditions (as hereinafter defined) shall have been satisfied, the Repurchase
Date shall mean and be extended with respect to all of the Transactions until,
the first (1st) anniversary of the Initial Scheduled Repurchase Date (the
"Extension Period"). For purposes of the preceding sentence, the "Extension
Conditions" shall be deemed to have been satisfied if (i) Seller shall have
given Buyer written notice, not more than sixty (60) days nor less than thirty
(30) days prior to the Initial Scheduled Repurchase Date, of Seller's desire to
extend the Repurchase Date; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default under the
Agreement shall have occurred and be continuing as of the Initial Scheduled
Repurchase Date. During the Extension Period, on the Remittance Dates occurring
in March, 2006, June, 2006 and September, 2006, Seller shall be required to
prepay the Repurchase Price of all Transactions in part by paying to Buyer on
each such Remittance Date 25% of the Repurchase Price which would have been
payable with respect to each Transaction on the Initial Scheduled Repurchase
Date had the Repurchase Date not been extended pursuant to this Section 3(e)
(each such payment a "Quarterly Reduction Payment"); provided, however, that any
Principal Payment made during the Extension Period which is paid to Buyer and
applied to
26
reduce the Repurchase Price of any Purchased Loans shall be credited against the
amount of the next Quarterly Reduction Payment required to be paid by Seller
and, if any Quarterly Reduction Payment is reduced to zero by virtue of such
credits, shall be credited against the next subsequent Quarterly Reduction
Payment due hereunder and so on until all Quarterly Reduction Payments have been
made or credited in full. During the Extension Period, Buyer shall have no
obligation to enter into any further Transactions for the purchase by Buyer of
any Eligible Loans from Seller.
(g) On each Purchase Date, Seller shall pay to Buyer a usage fee
(the "Draw Fee") in an amount equal to 1% of the Purchase Price specified in the
related Confirmation with respect to such Transaction, which Draw Fee for each
such Transaction shall be deemed fully earned and nonrefundable on the Purchase
Date for such Transaction. If the Facility Limit is increased above $100,000,000
pursuant to an Expanded Facility Modification, Seller shall additionally pay to
Buyer on the date of execution and delivery of such Expanded Facility
Modification a one-time commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the amount by which the
Facility Limit is increased above $100,000,000, and thereafter, if and to the
extent a Transaction is entered into which results in the total of all the
Repurchase Prices for all outstanding Transactions exceeding $100,000,000, the
Draw Fee for such Transaction shall be the sum of (i) 1% of that portion (if
any) of the Purchase Price for such Transaction which, when aggregated with the
total of all the Repurchase Prices for all other outstanding Transactions,
amounts to the sum of $100,000,000, and (ii) 0.75% of the remaining portion of
the Purchase Price for such Transaction.
(h) If prior to the first day of any Pricing Rate Period with
respect to any Transaction, (i) Buyer shall have determined (which determination
shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller) that, by reason of circumstances
affecting the relevant market, adequate and reasonable means do not exist for
ascertaining the LIBO Rate for such Pricing Rate Period, or (ii) the LIBO Rate
determined or to be determined for such Pricing Rate Period will not adequately
and fairly reflect the cost to Buyer (as determined and certified by Buyer) of
making or maintaining Transactions during such Pricing Rate Period, Buyer shall
give telecopy or telephonic notice (followed by prompt written notice) thereof
to Seller as soon as practicable thereafter. If such notice is given, the
Pricing Rate with respect to such Transaction for such Pricing Rate Period, and
for any subsequent Pricing Rate Periods until such notice has been withdrawn by
Buyer, shall be a per annum rate equal to the Alternative Rate.
(i) Notwithstanding any other provision herein, if the adoption of
or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application
thereof shall make it unlawful for Buyer to effect Transactions as contemplated
by the Transaction Documents, (a) the commitment of Buyer hereunder to enter
into new Transactions and to continue Transactions as such shall forthwith be
canceled, and (b) the Transactions then outstanding shall be converted
automatically to Alternative Rate Transactions, for which the Pricing Rate shall
be the Alternative Rate, on the last day of the then current Pricing Rate Period
or within such earlier period as may be required by law. If any such conversion
of a Transaction occurs on a day which is not the last day of the then current
Pricing Rate Period with respect to such Transaction, Seller shall pay to Buyer
such amounts, if any, as may be required pursuant to Section 3(j) of this Annex
I.
(j) Upon demand by Buyer, Seller shall indemnify Buyer and hold
Buyer harmless from any net loss or expense (not to include any lost profit or
opportunity) (including, without
27
limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements) which Buyer may
sustain or incur as a consequence of (i) default by Seller in terminating any
Transaction after Seller has given a notice in accordance with Section 3(d) of a
termination of a Transaction, or (ii) any payment of the Repurchase Price on any
day other than a Remittance Date (including, without limitation, all Breakage
Costs and any other actual loss or expense arising from the reemployment of
funds obtained by Buyer to maintain Transactions hereunder or from fees payable
to terminate the deposits from which such funds were obtained). A certificate as
to such costs, losses, damages and expenses, setting forth the calculations
therefor shall be submitted promptly by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive
and binding on Seller in the absence of manifest error.
(k) If the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in
the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or
compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the
force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having
jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof:
(i) shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind
whatsoever with respect to the Transaction Documents, any
Purchased Loan or any Transaction, or change the basis of
taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for
changes in the rate of tax on Buyer's overall net income);
(ii) shall impose, modify or hold applicable any
reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement
against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for
the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit
by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer
which is not otherwise included in the determination of the LIBO
Rate hereunder; or
(iii) shall impose on Buyer any other condition;
and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer, by an
amount which Buyer deems to be material, of entering into, continuing or
maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the
Transaction Documents in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall
promptly pay Buyer, upon its demand, any additional amounts necessary to
compensate Buyer for such increased cost or reduced amount receivable. If Buyer
becomes entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Section 3(j),
it shall promptly notify Seller of the event by reason of which it has become so
entitled. A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable
pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be
conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error. This
covenant shall survive the termination of the Agreement and this Annex I and the
repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Loans.
(l) If Buyer shall have determined that the adoption of or any
change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the
interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation
controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy
(whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made
subsequent to the date hereof does or shall have the effect of reducing the rate
of return on Buyer's or such corporation's capital as a consequence of its
obligations hereunder to a
28
level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for
such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer's or such
corporation's policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by
Buyer to be material, then from time to time, after submission by Buyer to
Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional
amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction. A certificate as
to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection
shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon
Seller in the absence of manifest error. This covenant shall survive the
termination of the Agreement and this Annex I and the repurchase by Seller of
any or all of the Purchased Loans.
(m) The Commitment Expiration Date shall be the Initial Commitment
Expiration Date; if provided that no Default or Event of Default has occurred
and is then continuing, and Seller, not earlier than 60 days prior to the
Initial Commitment Expiration Date and not later than 30 days prior to the
Initial Commitment Expiration Date, makes a written request to Buyer for an
extension of the Commitment Expiration Date, Buyer may at its sole option
exercised in its sole discretion elect by written notice to Seller to extend the
Commitment Expiration Date to be the date which is 364 days after the Initial
Commitment Expiration Date (the "Extended Commitment Expiration Date"). The
Initial Commitment Expiration Date shall not be extended as provided above
unless and until Buyer makes such written election to extend, and it is
understood and agreed that Buyer may grant or deny Seller's request for an
extension of the Initial Commitment Expiration Date in Buyer's sole discretion.
If so extended the Commitment Expiration Date shall thereupon mean the Extended
Commitment Expiration Date.
(n) Seller, on its behalf and on behalf of the Sponsor, agrees that
Seller and Sponsor shall hire Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. or another
Affiliate of Buyer designed by it as the lead manager and bookrunner on any
future collateralized debt obligation securitization transactions or similar
capital markets transactions intended to finance any Purchased Loans or the
repurchase thereof, and shall in good faith give strong consideration to
Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. and the applicable Affiliates of Buyer for the
role of primary bookrunner in any such transactions, provided that the terms
offered by Greenwich Capital Markets, Inc. shall be reasonably within prevailing
market standards for such transactions.
4. MARGIN MAINTENANCE
(a) Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement is hereby modified in its
entirety to read as follows:
"(a) If at any time, either (i) the aggregate
Market Value of any of the Purchased Loans shall be less than
Buyer's Margin Amount for such Purchased Loans, respectively (a
"Margin Deficit"), or (ii) a Credit Loss shall occur with
respect to any Purchased Loans, then Buyer may by notice to
Seller (a "Margin Call") require Seller to transfer to Buyer (A)
cash or (B) additional collateral acceptable to Buyer in its
sole and absolute discretion (such cash or additional collateral
paid by Seller to Buyer is herein referred to as "Additional
Collateral"), so that the sum obtained by adding the Market
Value of each of the Purchased
29
Loans plus such Additional Collateral shall equal or exceed the
Deficit Cure Amount for such Purchased Loans, respectively, as
of the same date (the foregoing amount of such Additional
Collateral required to cure the Margin Deficit with respect to
any Purchased Loan is herein referred to as the "Required
Payment Amount" with respect to such Purchased Loan); provided,
that Seller may with respect to any Purchased Loan subject to a
Margin Call, in lieu of transferring Additional Collateral in
the Required Payment Amount for such Purchased Loan to Buyer as
aforesaid, prepay the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Loan
by transferring cash in the amount of the Required Payment
Amount to Buyer, accompanied by a written notice to Buyer
requesting application of such amount to the Repurchase Price
for such Purchased Loan as a prepayment thereof. Seller's
failure to cure any Margin Deficit as required by the preceding
sentence prior to expiration of the two (2) Business Day time
period set forth in the first or second sentence, as applicable,
of Paragraph 4(c) below shall constitute an Event of Default
under the Transaction Documents and shall entitle Buyer to
exercise its remedies under Section 15 of Annex I (including,
without limitation, the liquidation remedy provided for in
Section 15(iv) of Annex I)."
(b) Paragraph 4(b) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its
entirety.
(c) Paragraph 4(c) of the Agreement is hereby modified in its
entirety to read as follows:
"(c) If any Margin Call is given by Buyer under
Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement, Seller shall transfer
Additional Collateral as provided in Paragraph 4(a) by no later
than two (2) Business Days after the giving of such notice.
Notice required pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement may
be given by any means of telecopier or telegraphic transmission
and shall be delivered in accordance with the terms of the
Agreement. The failure of Buyer on any one or more occasions, to
exercise its rights under Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement shall
not change or alter the terms and conditions to which the
Agreement is subject or limit the right of Buyer or Seller to do
so at a later date. Buyer and Seller agree that any failure or
delay by Buyer to exercise its rights under Paragraph 4(a) of
the Agreement shall not limit such party's rights under the
Agreement or otherwise existing by law or in any way create
additional rights for such party."
(d) Paragraph 4(d) of the Agreement is hereby modified in its
entirety to read as follows:
30
"(d) Any Additional Collateral transferred to
Buyer pursuant to Paragraph 4(a) of the Agreement with respect
to any Purchased Loans shall be attributed to the Transaction
relating to such Purchased Loans."
(e) Paragraphs 4(e) and 4(f) of the Agreement are hereby deleted in
their respective entireties.
5. INCOME PAYMENTS AND PRINCIPAL PAYMENTS
The provisions of Paragraph 5 of the Agreement are hereby modified and
superseded in their respective entireties by the following provisions of this
Section 5:

(b) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, and subject to application in accordance with Section 5(d) of this
Annex I in the event a CF Sweep Event with respect to any Purchased Loans shall

(ii) second, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to any premium
or accrued interest included in the Purchase Price for the Purchased
Loans;
(iii) third, if the Remittance Date is on or after the Initial
Scheduled Repurchase Date, the remainder shall be applied as provided in
Section 5(f) of this Annex I below; and
(iv) fourth, the remainder shall be remitted to Seller.
(c) So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred and be
continuing, any Principal Payment received by the Depository in respect of any

the order of those Purchased Loans with the largest to smallest excess
of Repurchase Price over Target Price), until the Repurchase Price for
each of the Purchased Loans has been reduced to the Target Price for
such Purchased Loans, respectively as of the date of such payment (as
determined by Buyer after giving effect to such Principal Payment), and
(B) if the Remittance Date is on or after the Initial Scheduled
Repurchase Date, to make a payment from any amount remaining after the
application under the foregoing clause (A) on account of the Repurchase
Price of such other Purchased Loans pari passu until the aggregate
Repurchase Price for all of such Purchased Loans has been reduced to
zero; and
(iii) third, as follows: (A) so long as no Event of Default
shall have occurred and be continuing and no CF Sweep Event shall have
occurred, the remainder of such Principal Payment shall prior to the
Initial Scheduled Repurchase Date be remitted to Seller and from and
after the Initial Scheduled Repurchase Date shall be applied as provided
in Section 5(f) below; (B) if a CF Sweep Event shall have occurred, but
no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the remainder

of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, the remainder of such
Principal Payment shall be applied as provided in Section 5(e) of this

than Principal Payments, except for the portion of each Principal Payment
available for application pursuant to this Section 5(d) under the provisions of
Section 5(c)(iii)(B) of this Annex I above) received by the Depository in
respect of the Portfolio Collateral and the associated Hedging Transactions
shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day next following the
Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account as

Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all of
the Purchased Loans as of such Business Day; and
(ii) second, to make payments on account of the Repurchase
Price of each of the Purchased Loans as to which a CF Sweep Event shall

those Purchased Loans with the largest to smallest excess of Repurchase
Price over Target Price), until the aggregate Repurchase Price for all
of such Purchased Loans has been reduced to the aggregate Target Price
for all of such
32

determined by Buyer after giving effect to such payment);
(iii) third, if the Remittance Date is on or after the Initial
Scheduled Repurchase Date, the remainder shall be applied as provided in
Section 5(f) of this Annex I below; and
(iv) fourth, the remainder shall be remitted to Seller.
(e) If an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing,
all Income (including all Principal Payments) received by the Depository in
respect of the Portfolio Collateral and the associated Hedging Transactions
shall be applied by the Depository on the Business Day next following the
Business Day on which such funds are deposited in the Cash Management Account as
follows:
(i) first, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to the Price
Differential which has accrued and is outstanding in respect of all of

Price for all of the Purchased Loans has been reduced to zero; and
(iii) third, to remit to Buyer an amount equal to any costs or
expenses due and owing by Seller as of such Business Day; and
(iv) fourth, to remit to Seller the remainder.
(f) Income to be applied on any Remittance Date under the foregoing

be applied on such Remittance Date to remit to Buyer as a prepayment, of the
Repurchase Price of all Purchased Loans pari passu until the aggregate
Repurchase Price for all such Purchased Loans has been reduced to zero.
(g) From and after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer is
hereby authorized at any time and from time to time, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, to set off and apply any and all amounts held by Buyer and any
other obligations at any time owing to Buyer, to or for the credit or the
account of Seller against any of or all the obligations of Seller now or
hereafter existing under the Agreement irrespective of whether or not Buyer
shall have made any demand under the Agreement (and without prior notice to
Seller) and although such obligations may be unmatured, whereupon such
obligations owing by Buyer or its Affiliates to Seller shall, to the extent (and
only to the extent) of such set off actually made by Buyer, be discharged. The
rights of Buyer under this Section are in addition to other rights and remedies
(including other rights of setoff) which Buyer may have.
(h) At the end of each Collection Period and prior to the Remittance
Date for such Collection Period, Seller shall provide to Buyer (in electronic
form with Depository's information contained therein) a statement and analysis
of all Income for such period, indicating
33
the Purchased Loans to which each element of Income relates and the amounts
constituting interest on each Purchased Loan, Principal Payments on each
Purchased Loan and other Income. Upon Buyer's receipt and verification of the
information contained in the statement and analysis of Income required above,
Buyer agrees to direct the Depository to remit to Seller such amounts as Seller
is entitled to pursuant to the applicable provisions of Sections 5(b), 5(c),
5(d), 5(e), 5(f) and 15 of this Annex I to the extent of funds on account,
provided, in the event Buyer fails to approve or object to any such statement
and analysis of Income within three (3) Business Days after receipt of such
statement and analysis of Income, Buyer agrees, subject to the terms and
provisions of Article 5 hereof, to disburse such funds in accordance with the
statement and analysis of Income submitted by Seller. In the event Buyer
disagrees with any statement and analysis of Income prepared by Seller, Buyer
shall promptly provide Seller with written notice thereof and the parties shall
cooperate in good faith to resolve the matters raised in Buyer's written
objection. Seller and Buyer further agree that in the event any statement and
analysis of Income contains any inaccurate information (or is otherwise
incomplete), the parties will work together in good faith to correct any such
incorrect or incomplete information, and any excess or deficiency of funds shall
be disbursed and/or remitted, as applicable, to or by such party promptly upon
receipt and verification of such corrected statement and analysis of Income.
6. SECURITY INTEREST
Paragraph 6 of the Agreement is hereby modified in its entirety to read
as follows:
Buyer and Seller intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales
to Buyer of the Purchased Loans and not loans from Buyer to Seller secured by
the Purchased Loans. However, in the event any such Transaction is deemed to be
a loan, Seller hereby pledges all of its right, title, and interest in, to and
under and grants a first priority lien on, and security interest in, all of the
following property, whether now owned or hereafter acquired, now existing or
hereafter created and wherever located (collectively, the "Collateral") to Buyer
to secure the payment and performance of all amounts or obligations owing to
Buyer pursuant to the Agreement and the related documents described herein:

entitlements" (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(17) of the UCC)
therein;

7. PAYMENT, TRANSFER AND CUSTODY
The provisions of Paragraph 7 of the Agreement are hereby modified and
superseded in their respective entireties by the following provisions of this
Section 7:
(a) On the Purchase Date for each Transaction, ownership of the
Purchased Loans shall be transferred to Buyer or its designee (including the
Custodian) against the simultaneous transfer of the Purchase Price to an account
of Seller specified in the Confirmation relating to such Transaction.
(b) On or prior to the applicable Purchase Date, Seller shall
deliver the related Portfolio Securities (if there are any) re-registered in the
name of Buyer or other designee of Buyer in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement and Buyer or its other designee shall have all rights of conversions,
exchange, subscription and any other rights, privileges and options pertaining
to such Portfolio Securities as the owner thereof, and in connection therewith,
the right to deposit and deliver any and all of the Portfolio Securities with
any committee, depositary transfer, agent, register or other designated agency
upon such terms and conditions as Buyer may determine. The Portfolio Securities
shall be held by Buyer or its designee, as exclusive bailee and agent for Buyer,
either directly or through the facilities of a Relevant System, as "securities
intermediary" (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(14) of the UCC and 31 C.F.R.
Section 357.2) and credited to the "securities account" (as defined in Section
8-501(a) of the UCC) of Buyer. Buyer, as "entitlement holder" (as defined in
Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to the Portfolio Securities, shall
be entitled to receive all cash dividends and distributions paid in
35
respect thereof. Any such dividends or distributions with respect to the
Portfolio Securities received by Seller shall be promptly remitted to the Cash
Management Account.
(c) With respect to Portfolio Securities (if any) that shall be
delivered or held in uncertificated form and the ownership of which is
registered on books maintained by the issuer thereof or its transfer agent,
Seller shall cause the registration of such security or other item of investment
property in the name of Buyer or its designee and at the request of Buyer, shall
take such other and further steps, and shall execute and deliver such documents
or instruments necessary in the reasonable opinion of Buyer, to effect a legally
valid transfer to Buyer hereunder. With respect to Portfolio Securities (if any)
that shall be delivered or held in definitive, certificated form, Seller shall
deliver to Buyer or its designee (which shall be the Custodian initially) the
original of the relevant certificate registered in the name of Buyer or its
designee. Unless otherwise instructed by Buyer, any delivery of a security or
other item of investment property in definitive, certificated form shall be made
to the Custodian. With respect to Portfolio Securities that shall be delivered
through a Relevant System in book entry form and credited to or otherwise held
in a securities account, Seller shall take such actions necessary to provide
instruction to the relevant financial institution or other entity, which
instruction shall be sufficient if complied with to register the transfer of
Portfolio Securities from Seller to Buyer or its designee. In connection with
any account to which the Portfolio Securities are credited or otherwise held,
Seller shall execute and deliver such other and further documents or instruments
necessary, in the reasonable opinion of Buyer, to effect a legally valid
transfer to Buyer hereunder. Any account to which the Portfolio Securities are
credited or otherwise held shall be designated in accordance with the Custodial
Agreement or such variation thereon as Buyer may direct. Any delivery of a
Portfolio Security in accordance with this paragraph, or any other method
acceptable to Buyer, shall be sufficient to cause Buyer to be the "entitlement
holder" (as defined in Section 8-102(a)(7) of the UCC) with respect to the
Portfolio Securities and, if the Transaction is recharacterized as a secured
financing, to have a perfected first priority security interest therein. No
Portfolio Securities, whether certificated or uncertificated, shall remain in
the name, or possession, of Seller or any of its agents or in any securities
account in the name of Seller or any of its agents.

and/or trustee in respect of the Securities, as applicable, instructing
the issuer and/or trustee, as applicable, to remit all sums required to

otherwise directed in a written notice signed by Seller and Buyer, and
(C) any other documents or instruments necessary in the
reasonable opinion of Buyer to consummate the transfer of such
Securities to Buyer or, if such
36
Transaction is recharacterized as a secured financing, to create and
perfect in favor of Buyer a valid perfected first priority security
interest in such Securities.
(e) On or before each Purchase Date, Seller shall deliver or cause

15. REMEDIES
If an Event of Default shall occur and be continuing with respect to
Seller, the following rights and remedies shall be available to Buyer:
(i) At the option of Buyer, exercised by written notice to
Seller (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised, even if no
notice is given, immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of
Insolvency), the Repurchase Date for each Transaction hereunder shall,
if it has not already occurred, be deemed immediately to occur (the date
on which such option is exercised or deemed to have been exercised being
referred to hereinafter as the "Accelerated Repurchase Date")
(ii) If Buyer exercises or is deemed to have exercised the
option referred to in Section 15(i) of this Annex I:
(A) Seller's obligations hereunder to repurchase all
Purchased Loans shall become immediately due and
payable on and as of the Accelerated Repurchase
Date; and
55
(B) to the extent permitted by applicable law, the
Repurchase Price with respect to each
Transaction (determined as of the Accelerated
Repurchase Date) shall be increased by the
aggregate amount obtained by daily application
of, on a 360 day per year basis for the actual
number of days during the period from and
including the Accelerated Repurchase Date to but
excluding the date of payment of the Repurchase
Price (as so increased), (x) the Pricing Rate
for such Transaction multiplied by (y) the
Repurchase Price for such Transaction (decreased
by (I) any amounts actually remitted to Buyer by
the Depository or Seller from time to time
pursuant to Section 5 of this Annex I and
applied to such Repurchase Price, and (II) any
amounts applied to the Repurchase Price pursuant
to Section 15(iii) of this Annex I); and (C) the
Custodian shall, upon the request of Buyer,
deliver to Buyer all instruments, certificates
and other documents than held by the Custodian
relating to the Purchased Loans,
(iii) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default with respect
to Seller, Buyer may (A) immediately sell, at a public or private sale
at such price or prices as Buyer may deem satisfactory any or all of the
Purchased Loans or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling
all or a portion of such Purchased Loans, to give Seller credit for such
Purchased Loans in an amount equal to the Market Value of such Purchased
Loans against the aggregate unpaid Repurchase Price for such Purchased
Loans and any other amounts owing by Seller under the Transaction
Documents. The proceeds of any disposition of Purchased Loans effected
pursuant to this Section 15(iii) shall be applied, (w) first, to the
costs and expenses incurred by Buyer in connection with Seller's
default; (x) second, to consequential damages, including, but not
limited to, costs of cover and/or Hedging Transactions, if any; (y)
third, to the Repurchase Price; and (z) fourth, to any other outstanding
obligation of Seller to Buyer or its Affiliates.
(iv) The parties recognize that it may not be possible to
purchase or sell all of the Purchased Loans on a particular Business
Day, or in a transaction with the same purchaser, or in the same manner
because the market for such Purchased Loans may not be liquid. In view
of the nature of the Purchased Loans, the parties agree that liquidation
of a Transaction or the Purchased Loans does not require a public
purchase or sale and that a good faith private purchase or sale shall be
deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner.
Accordingly, Buyer may elect, in its sole discretion, the time and
manner of liquidating any Purchased Loans, and nothing contained herein
shall (A) obligate Buyer to liquidate any Purchased Loans on the
occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default or to
liquidate all of the Purchased Loans in the same manner or on the same
Business Day or (B) constitute a waiver of any right or remedy of Buyer.
(v) Seller shall be liable to Buyer for (A) the amount of
all expenses, including reasonable legal fees and expenses, actually
incurred by Buyer in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of
Default with respect to Seller, (B) consequential damages, including,
without limitation, all costs incurred in connection with covering
56
transactions or Hedging Transactions, and (C) any other loss, damage,
cost or expense directly arising or resulting from the occurrence of an
Event of Default with respect to Seller.
(vi) Buyer shall have, in addition to its rights and remedies
under the Transaction Documents, all of the rights and remedies provided
by applicable federal, state, foreign, and local laws (including,
without limitation, if the Transactions are recharacterized as secured
financings, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the UCC, to
the extent that the UCC is applicable, and the right to offset any
mutual debt and claim), in equity, and under any other agreement between
Buyer and Seller. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Buyer shall be entitled to set off the proceeds of the liquidation of
the Purchased Loans against all of Seller's obligations to Buyer,
whether or not such obligations are then due, without prejudice to
Buyer's right to recover any deficiency.
(vii) Buyer may exercise any or all of the remedies available
to Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of an Event of Default and at
any time during the continuance thereof. All rights and remedies arising
under the Transaction Documents, as amended from time to time, are
cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies which Buyer
may have.
(viii) Buyer may enforce its rights and remedies hereunder
without prior judicial process or hearing, and Seller hereby expressly
waives any defenses Seller might otherwise have to require Buyer to
enforce its rights by judicial process. Seller also waives any defense
Seller might otherwise have arising from the use of nonjudicial process,
disposition of any or all of the Purchased Loans, or from any other
election of remedies. Seller recognizes that nonjudicial remedies are
consistent with the usages of the trade, are responsive to commercial
necessity and are the result of a bargain at arm's length.
(ix) To the extent that applicable law imposes duties on
Buyer to exercise remedies in a commercially reasonable manner, Seller
acknowledges and agrees that it is not commercially unreasonable for
Buyer (i) to fail to incur expenses reasonably deemed significant by
Buyer to prepare Collateral for disposition or otherwise to complete raw
material or work in process into finished goods or other finished
products for disposition, (ii) to fail to obtain third party consents
for access to Collateral to be disposed of, or to obtain or, if not
required by other law, to fail to obtain governmental or third party
consents for the collection or disposition of Collateral to be collected
or disposed of, (iii) to fail to exercise collection remedies against
Persons obligated on Collateral or to remove liens on or any adverse
claims against Collateral, (iv) to exercise collection remedies against
Persons obligated on Collateral directly or through the use of
collection agencies and other collection specialists, (v) to advertise
dispositions of Collateral through publications or media of general
circulation, whether or not the Collateral is of a specialized nature,
(vi) to contact other Persons, whether or not in the same business as
Seller, for expressions of interest in acquiring all or any portion of
such Collateral, (vii) to hire one or more professional auctioneers to
assist in the disposition of Collateral, whether or not the Collateral
is of a specialized nature, (viii) to dispose of Collateral by
57
utilizing internet sites that provide for the auction of assets of the
types included in the Collateral or that have the reasonable capacity of
doing so, or that match buyers and sellers of assets, (ix) to dispose of
assets in wholesale rather than retail markets, (x) to disclaim
disposition warranties, such as title, possession or quiet enjoyment,
(xi) to purchase insurance or credit enhancements to insure Buyer
against risks of loss, collection or disposition of Collateral or to
provide to Buyer a guaranteed return from the collection or disposition
of Collateral, or (xii) to the extent deemed appropriate by Buyer, to
obtain the services of other brokers, investment bankers, consultants
and other professionals to assist Buyer in the collection or disposition
of any of the Collateral. Seller acknowledges that the purpose of this
Section 15(ix) is to provide non-exhaustive indications of what actions
or omissions by Buyer would not be commercially unreasonable in Buyer's
exercise of remedies against the Collateral and that other actions or
omissions by Buyer shall not be deemed commercially unreasonable solely
on account of not being indicated in this Section 15(ix). Without
limitation upon the foregoing, nothing contained in this Section 15(ix)
shall be construed to grant any rights to Seller or to impose any duties
on Buyer that would not have been granted or imposed by the Agreement or
by applicable law in the absence of this Section 15(ix).
(x) Buyer shall not be required to make any demand upon, or
pursue or exhaust any of its rights or remedies against, Seller, any
other obligor, guarantor, pledgor or any other Person with respect to
the payment of the obligations of Seller hereunder or to pursue or
exhaust any of its rights or remedies with respect to any Collateral
therefor or any direct or indirect guarantee thereof. Buyer shall not be
required to marshal the Collateral or any guarantee of the obligations
of Seller hereunder or to resort to the Collateral or any such guarantee
in any particular order, and all of its rights hereunder or under any
other document or instrument executed in connection herewith shall be
cumulative. To the extent it may lawfully do so, Seller absolutely and
irrevocably waives and relinquishes the benefit and advantage of, and
covenants not to assert against Buyer, any valuation, stay,
appraisement, extension, redemption or similar laws and any and all
rights or defenses it may have as a surety now or hereafter existing
which, but for this provision, might be applicable to the sale of any
Collateral made under the judgment, order or decree of any court, or
privately under the power of sale conferred by the Agreement, or
otherwise.
(xi) Seller hereby appoints Buyer as attorney-in-fact of
Seller for the purpose, after the occurrence and during the continuance
of an Event of Default, of carrying out the provisions of the Agreement
and taking any action and executing or endorsing any instruments that
Buyer may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes hereof,
which appointment as attorney-in-fact is irrevocable and coupled with an
interest so long as any Transaction remains outstanding.
(xii) In addition to any rights and remedies of Buyer provided
by the Agreement and by law, the Buyer shall have the right, without
prior notice to Seller, any such notice being expressly waived by
Seller, upon any amount becoming due and payable by Seller hereunder
(whether at the stated maturity, by acceleration or otherwise) to
set-off and appropriate and apply against such amount any and all
deposits (general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in
any currency, and any other credits,
58
indebtedness, liabilities or claims, in any currency, in each case
whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or
unmatured, at any time held or owing by Buyer to or for the credit or
the account of Seller, in which case the amount due by Buyer to or for
the credit or the account of Seller will be discharged by Seller to the
extent so set-off by Buyer.

superseded in their respective entireties by the following provisions of this
Section 17:

without the prior written consent of the other party, provided, however, that

interests with respect to any or all of the Transactions.

to the Transaction Documents and their respective successors, any benefit or any
legal or equitable right, power, remedy or claim under the Transaction
Documents.
59

of Buyer to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law or affect
the right of Buyer to bring any action or proceeding against Seller or its
property in the courts of other jurisdictions.
(d) EACH OF THE PARTIES HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO A
TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR

DOCUMENT OR ANY INSTRUMENT OR DOCUMENT DELIVERED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.
19. NO RELIANCE
Each of Buyer and Seller hereby acknowledges, represents and warrants to
the other that, in connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and
the performance under, the Transaction Documents and each Transaction
thereunder:
(a) it is not relying (for purposes of making any investment
decision or otherwise) upon any advice, counsel or representations (whether
written or oral) of the other party to the Transaction Documents, other than the
representations expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents.
(b) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business,
investment, financial and accounting advisors to the extent that it has deemed
necessary, and it has made its own investment, hedging and trading decisions
(including decisions regarding the suitability of any Transaction) based upon
its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed
necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party;
60
(c) it is a sophisticated and informed Person that has a full
understanding of all the terms, conditions and risks (economic and otherwise) of
the Transaction Documents and each Transaction thereunder and is capable of
assuming and willing to assume (financially and otherwise) those risks;
(d) it is entering into the Transaction Documents and each
Transaction thereunder for the purposes of managing its borrowings or
investments or hedging its underlying assets or liabilities and not for purposes
of speculation; and
(e) it is not acting as a fiduciary or financial, investment or

(directly or indirectly through any other Person) any assurance, guaranty or
representation whatsoever as to the merits (either legal, regulatory, tax,
business, investment, financial accounting or otherwise) of the Transaction
Documents or any Transaction thereunder.
20. INDEMNITY
Seller hereby agrees to indemnify Buyer, Buyer's designee and each of
its officers, directors, employees and agents ("Indemnified Parties") from and
against any and all liabilities, obligations, losses, damages, penalties,
actions, judgments, suits, taxes (including stamp, excise, sales or other taxes
which may be payable or determined to be payable with respect to any of the
Collateral or in connection with any of the transactions contemplated by the
Agreement and the documents delivered in connection herewith, other than income
taxes of Buyer), fees, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys fees and
disbursements) or disbursements (all of the foregoing, collectively "Indemnified
Amounts") which may at any time (including, without limitation, such time as the
Agreement shall no longer be in effect and the Transactions shall have been
repaid in full) be imposed on or asserted against any Indemnified Party in any
way whatsoever arising out of or in connection with, or relating to, the
Agreement or any Transactions thereunder or any action taken or omitted to be
taken by any Indemnified Party under or in connection with any of the foregoing;
provided, that Seller shall not be liable for Indemnified Amounts resulting from
the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party or, with
respect to any Purchased Loan which is the subject of a Greenwich Transaction,
for or in connection with any matters arising from events which occurred prior
to the Original Purchase Date for such Purchased Loan. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Seller agrees to hold Buyer harmless from and
indemnify Buyer against all Indemnified Amounts with respect to all Purchased
Loans relating to or arising out of any violation or alleged violation of any
environmental law, rule or regulation or any consumer credit laws, including
without limitation ERISA, the Truth in Lending Act and/or the Real Estate
Settlement Procedures Act, that, in each case, results from anything other than
Buyer's gross negligence or willful misconduct or, with respect to any Purchased
Loan which is the subject of a Greenwich Transaction, any matters arising from
events which occurred prior to the Original Purchase Date for such Purchased
Loan. In any suit, proceeding or action brought by Buyer in connection with any
Purchased Loan for any sum owing thereunder, or to enforce any provisions of any
Purchased Loan, Seller will save, indemnify and hold Buyer harmless from and
against all expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
and expenses), loss or damage suffered by reason of any defense, set-off,
counterclaim, recoupment or reduction or liability whatsoever of the account
debtor or obligor thereunder, arising out of a breach by Seller of any
61
obligation thereunder or arising out of any other agreement, indebtedness or
liability at any time (such time being limited to any time after the Original
Purchase Date with respect to Greenwich Transactions, however) owing to or in
favor of such account debtor or obligor or its successors from Seller. Seller
also agrees to reimburse Buyer as and when billed by Buyer for all Buyer's costs
and expenses incurred in connection with Buyer's due diligence reviews with
respect to the Purchased Loans (including, without limitation, those incurred
pursuant to Section 21) and the enforcement or the preservation of Buyer's
rights under the Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereby, including
without limitation the reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel. Seller
hereby acknowledges that, the obligation of Seller hereunder is a recourse
obligation of Seller.
21. DUE DILIGENCE
Seller acknowledges that Buyer has the right to perform continuing due
diligence reviews with respect to the Purchased Loans, for purposes of verifying
compliance with the representations, warranties and specifications made
hereunder, or otherwise, and Seller agrees that upon reasonable prior notice to
Seller, Buyer or its authorized representatives will be permitted during normal
business hours to examine, inspect, and make copies and extracts of, the
Purchased Loan Files, Servicing Records and any and all documents, records,
agreements, instruments or information relating to such Purchased Loans in the
possession or under the control of Seller, any other servicer or subservicer
and/or the Custodian. Seller also shall make available to Buyer a knowledgeable
financial or accounting officer for the purpose of answering questions
respecting the Purchased Loan Files and the Purchased Loans. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, Seller acknowledges that Buyer may enter into
Transactions with Seller based solely upon the information provided by Seller to
Buyer and the representations, warranties and covenants contained herein, and
that Buyer, at its option, has the right at any time to conduct a partial or
complete due diligence review on some or all of the Purchased Loans. Buyer may
underwrite such Purchased Loans itself or engage a third party underwriter to
perform such underwriting. Seller agrees to reasonably cooperate with Buyer and
any third party underwriter in connection with such underwriting, including, but
not limited to, providing Buyer and any third party underwriter with access to
any and all documents, records, agreements, instruments or information relating
to such Purchased Loans in the possession, or under the control, of Seller.
Seller further agrees that Seller shall reimburse Buyer for any and all
out-of-pocket costs and expenses reasonably incurred by Buyer in connection with
Buyer's activities pursuant to this Section 21, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses.
22. SERVICING
(a) Notwithstanding the purchase and sale of the Purchased Loans
hereby, Seller shall continue to service or cause the Purchased Loans to be
serviced for the benefit of Buyer and, if Buyer shall exercise its rights to
pledge or hypothecate the Purchased Loans prior to the Repurchase Date pursuant
to Section 8, Buyer's assigns. Seller shall service or cause the Purchased Loans
to be serviced in accordance with Accepted Servicing Practices approved by Buyer
and maintained by other prudent mortgage lenders with respect to mortgage loans
similar to the Purchased Loans. Notwithstanding anything contained in the
Agreement to the contrary, Seller shall not take any of the following actions
without the express written consent of Buyer
62
("Material Control Issues"): (i) any waiver or release of any material right,
condition or benefit under any Purchased Loan; (ii) take any action to foreclose
and/or enforce any remedies with respect to any Purchased Loan; (iii) amend or
modify, or approve the amendment or modification of, any material terms or
provisions of any Purchased Loan or any loan documents, securitization documents
or other agreements respecting the same; or (iv) take any other action which
would materially modify or materially and adversely affect or impair any
Purchased Loan.
(b) Seller agrees that Buyer is the owner of all servicing records,
including but not limited to any and all servicing agreements (the "Servicing
Agreements"), files, documents, records, data bases, computer tapes, copies of
computer tapes, proof of insurance coverage, insurance policies, appraisals,
other closing documentation, payment history records, and any other records
relating to or evidencing the servicing of Purchased Loans (the "Servicing
Records") so long as the Purchased Loans are subject to the Agreement. Seller
grants Buyer a security interest in all servicing fees and rights relating to
the Purchased Loans and all Servicing Records it may have to secure the
obligation of Seller or its designee to service in conformity with this Section
and any other obligation of Seller to Buyer. Seller covenants to safeguard such
Servicing Records and to deliver them promptly to Buyer or its designee
(including the Custodian) at Buyer's request.
(c) Upon the occurrence and continuance of an Event of Default,
Buyer may, in its sole discretion, (i) sell its right to the Purchased Loans on
a servicing released basis or (ii) terminate Seller or any sub-servicer of the
Purchased Loans with or without cause, in each case without payment of any
termination fee. Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary,
upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Buyer shall have sole control over
all decisions, approvals or determinations made with respect to the servicing
and administration of the Purchased Loans and the exercise of all rights and
remedies with respect to the Purchased Loans and the related loan and
securitization documents evidencing and securing the Purchased Loans.
(d) Seller shall not employ sub-servicers (other than Lennar
Partners Inc., for so long as it remains an Affiliate of Sponsor) to service the
Purchased Loans without the prior written approval of Buyer. If the Purchased
Loans are serviced by a sub-servicer, Seller shall irrevocably assign all
rights, title and interest in the Servicing Agreements in the Purchased Loans to
Buyer.
(e) Seller shall cause any sub-servicers engaged by Seller to
execute a letter agreement with Buyer acknowledging Buyer's security interest
and agreeing that it shall deposit all Income with respect to the Purchased
Loans in the Cash Management Account.
(f) The payment of servicing fees shall be subordinate to payment of
amounts outstanding under any Transaction and the Agreement, and Seller shall
cause Lennar Partners Inc. to enter into an acknowledgement and agreement for
the benefit of Buyer acknowledging such subordination, and confirming the amount
and terms of its servicing fees.
(g) Upon the occurrence of any Collateral Bankruptcy Event, any
failure of any Purchased Loan Borrower to make any required payment of
principal, interest or other amounts due under such Purchased Loan, or any
failure of any Purchased Loan Borrower to otherwise to
63
perform fully any material covenants or other obligations under any of the
related loan documents within any applicable grace period, Seller shall promptly
notify Buyer in writing, by e-mail and by fax. Upon the prior written approval
or direction of Buyer, Seller (or Buyer at Buyer's option) shall issue notices
of default, declare events of default, declare due the entire outstanding
principal balance, and otherwise take all actions under the related loan
documents evidencing and securing the Purchased Loan in preparation for Buyer to
realize upon the underlying collateral. Except as otherwise provided in written
instructions delivered to Seller by Buyer, Seller shall not obtain or cause
Buyer to obtain title to any Mortgaged Property or other collateral securing
such Purchased Loan as a result or in lieu of foreclosure or otherwise, and
shall not otherwise acquire possession of, or take other action with respect to,
any Mortgaged Property or other collateral directly or indirectly securing such
Purchased Loan, if, as a result of any such action, Buyer would be considered to
hold title to, to be a "mortgagee in possession" of, or to be an "owner" or
"operator" of, such Mortgaged Property or other collateral directly or
indirectly securing such Purchased Loan within the meaning of any federal, state
or local law, rule, regulation or statute (including, without limitation, any
Environmental Laws) or a "discharger or responsible party" thereunder. In the
event that title to any of the Mortgaged Properties or other collateral securing
such Purchased Loan is acquired by Buyer or Persons designated by Buyer or by a
third party at a foreclosure or trustee's sale, the servicing rights of Seller
with respect to such Purchased Loan shall terminate, unless Buyer shall have
agreed or directed in writing that Seller shall continue to perform servicing
with respect to any such Mortgaged Property or other collateral.
23. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) Time is of the essence under the Transaction Documents and all
Transactions thereunder and all references to a time shall mean New York time in
effect on the date of the action unless otherwise expressly stated in the
Transaction Documents.
(b) All rights, remedies and powers of Buyer hereunder and in
connection herewith are irrevocable and cumulative, and not alternative or
exclusive, and shall be in addition to all other rights, remedies and powers of
Buyer whether under law, equity or agreement. In addition to the rights and
remedies granted to it in the Agreement, Buyer shall have all rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code.
(c) The Transaction Documents may be executed in counterparts, each
of which so executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of such
counterparts shall together constitute but one and the same instrument.
(d) The headings in the Transaction Documents are for convenience of
reference only and shall not affect the interpretation or construction of the
Transaction Documents.
(e) Without limiting the rights and remedies of Buyer under the
Transaction Documents, Seller shall pay Buyer's reasonable out-of-pocket costs
and expenses, including reasonable fees and expenses of accountants, attorneys
and advisors, incurred in connection with the preparation, negotiation,
execution and consummation of, and any amendment, supplement or modification to,
the Transaction Documents and the Transactions thereunder. Seller agrees to pay
Buyer on demand all costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal
services of
64
every kind) of any subsequent enforcement of any of the provisions hereof, or of
the performance by Buyer of any obligations of Seller in respect of the
Purchased Loans, or any actual or attempted sale, or any exchange, enforcement,
collection; compromise or settlement in respect of any of the Collateral and for
the custody, care or preservation of the Collateral (including insurance costs)
and defending or asserting rights and claims of Buyer in respect thereof, by
litigation or otherwise. In addition, Seller agrees to pay Buyer on demand all
reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable expenses for legal services)
incurred in connection with the maintenance of the Cash Management Account and
registering the Collateral in the name of Buyer or its nominee. All such
expenses shall be recourse obligations of Seller to Buyer under the Agreement.
(f) Each provision of the Agreement shall be interpreted in such
manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision
of the Agreement shall be prohibited by or be invalid under such law, such
provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity,
without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions
of the Agreement.
(g) The parties acknowledge and agree that although they intend to
treat each Transaction as a sale of the Purchased Loans, in the event that such
sale shall be recharacterized as a secured financing, this Annex I shall also
serve as a security agreement with respect to Buyer's rights in the Collateral.
In order to secure and to provide for the prompt and unconditional repayment of
the Repurchase Price and the performance of its obligations under the Agreement,
Seller hereby pledges to Buyer and hereby grants to Buyer a first priority
security interest in all of its rights in the Purchased Loans. Buyer may without
Seller's execution, consent or approval, and Seller hereby covenants that it
shall at Buyer's request duly execute any Form UCC-1 financing statements as may
be required by Buyer in order to perfect its security interest created hereby in
such rights and obligations granted above, it being agreed that Seller shall pay
any and all fees required to file such financing statements.
(h) The Agreement contains a final and complete integration of all
prior expressions by the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and
thereof and shall constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect
to such subject matter, superseding all prior oral or written understandings.
(i) The parties understand that the Agreement is a legally binding
agreement that may affect such party's rights. Each party represents to the
other that it has received legal advice from counsel of its choice regarding the
meaning and legal significance of the Agreement and that it is satisfied with
its legal counsel and the advice received from it.
(j) Should any provision of the Agreement require judicial
interpretation, it is agreed that a court interpreting or construing the same
shall not apply a presumption that the terms hereof shall be more strictly
construed against any Person by reason of the rule of construction that a
document is to be construed more strictly against the Person who itself or
through its agent prepared the same, it being agreed that all parties have
participated in the preparation of the Agreement.
65
(k) The parties recognize that each Transaction is a "securities
contract" as that term is defined in Section 741 of Title 11 of the United
States Code, as amended.
(l) Any notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate (including,
without limitation, any Confirmation) given by Buyer to any Seller shall be
effective as, and shall be deemed to be, a notice, acknowledgment, statement or
certificate given to each and every Seller. Buyer may, without necessity of any
inquiry, rely solely upon any notice, acknowledgment, statement or certificate
of any of (1) any Seller or (2) any authorized representative of Seller set
forth on Exhibit II or otherwise designated by any Seller from time to time, as
constituting the joint and several statement and certificate of each and every
Seller fully authorized by each and every Seller. Any disbursements of funds to
Seller provided for in Article 5 of this Annex I or otherwise in the Agreement
or the Transaction Documents shall be deemed properly made to Seller if
disbursed to any Seller or its designee.
