3.1 Agreement to Execute and Deliver Each Credit Enhancement Instrument; Conditions Precedent to Execution and Delivery of Each Credit Enhancement Instrument.
3.1(1) Agreement to Execute and Deliver Each Credit Enhancement Instrument. The Borrower hereby requests that Xxxxxx Mae enter into, and Xxxxxx Xxx agrees, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement and in the Borrower Documents, to enter into, each Credit Enhancement Instrument on each applicable Closing Date in order to provide, to the extent provided in and subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in each Credit Enhancement Instrument, credit enhancement and liquidity support for the Bonds. The Borrower acknowledges that, in requesting Xxxxxx Mae to execute and deliver each Credit Enhancement Instrument, it intends that the Loans be treated by Xxxxxx Xxx as if they were a single, integrated indebtedness of the Borrower.
Accordingly, each Borrower agrees that the Loans are cross-defaulted and cross-collateralized under each Reimbursement Mortgage. Consequently, a default under any Loan may, in Xxxxxx Mae’s discretion, result in Xxxxxx Xxx exercising its remedies in relation to the other Loans, including, without limitation, accelerating each Loan and foreclosing under any Mortgage relating to any Mortgaged Property. Conversely, a default under any Loan may, in Xxxxxx Mae’s discretion, result in Xxxxxx Xxx exercising its remedies in relation to any other Loan, including, without limitation, accelerating any Loan and foreclosing under any applicable Mortgage. It is a material part of the consideration for Xxxxxx Mae’s agreement to execute and deliver each Credit Enhancement Instrument that a default under any Loan is a default under all of the Loans.

3.3 Fees, Costs and Expenses. In addition to any other fees and amounts payable to Xxxxxx Xxx under this Agreement or the other Borrower Documents, the following fees shall be payable by the Borrower to Xxxxxx Mae with respect to each Credit Enhancement Instrument, each Loan and each issue of Bonds:
3.3(1) Facility Fee. The Borrower shall pay to Xxxxxx Xxx a facility fee (“Facility Fee”) beginning on the Initial Closing Date and for so long as any Credit Enhancement Instrument shall remain in effect. The Facility Fee shall be payable on the Servicing Payment Date of each Mortgage Interest Period and on the last day of the term of this Agreement. As each Servicing Payment Date is two Business Days prior to the end of the Mortgage Interest Period in which it falls, such Facility Fee will be a combination of the Facility Fee which has accrued from the first day of the Mortgage Interest Period to the Servicing Payment Date and the Facility Fee which will accrue from the Servicing Payment Date through the end of the Mortgage Interest Period. All payments of each Facility Fee are non-refundable. Each Facility Fee shall be calculated on an annualized basis on the aggregate outstanding principal balance of the Loans and, to the extent applicable, the amount on deposit in each Principal Reserve Fund as at the end of the prior Mortgage Interest Period. During the Weekly Variable Rate Period, the Facility Fee shall be computed on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed over a year of 365 or 366 days, as applicable. During any other period, the Facility Fee shall be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months. The Facility Fee shall be the sum of the following, including the Swap Credit Enhancement Fee during any period in which a Swap Collateral Agreement is in full force and effect:
(a) Credit Enhancement Fee. The Credit Enhancement Rate multiplied by the result of subtracting (i) the aggregate principal amount (without regard to earnings) on deposit in each Principal Reserve Fund (but not in excess of the amount then scheduled to be on deposit in such Principal Reserve Fund in accordance with the attached Schedule 3), from (ii) aggregate the unpaid principal balance of the Loans.
(b) Principal Reserve Fund Fee. The Principal Reserve Fund Rate multiplied by the aggregate principal amount (without regard to earnings) on deposit in each Principal Reserve Fund (but not in excess of the amount then scheduled to be on deposit in such Principal Reserve Fund in accordance with the attached Schedule 3).
(c) Loan Servicer’s Fee. The Loan Servicer’s Rate multiplied by the result of subtracting (i) the aggregate principal amount (without regard to
66
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
earnings) on deposit in each Principal Reserve Fund (but not in excess of the amount then scheduled to be on deposit in the Principal Reserve Fund in accordance with the attached Schedule 3) from (ii) the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loans.
(d) Liquidity Fee. If a Reset Rate for a Reset Period with an original term of less than five years or the Weekly Variable Rate is in effect, the Liquidity Rate multiplied by the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loans.
(e) Swap Credit Enhancement Fee. The Swap Credit Enhancement Rate multiplied by the result of subtracting (i) the aggregate principal amount (without regard to earnings) on deposit in each Principal Reserve Fund (but not in excess of the amount then scheduled to be on deposit in such Principal Reserve Fund in accordance with the attached Schedule 9, from (ii) aggregate the unpaid principal balance of the Loans.
In the event that after June 15, 2002 Additional Mortgaged Properties are added to the Collateral Pool in conjunction with the issuance of new Bonds and Credit Enhancement Instruments, the Facility Fee may be increased by Xxxxxx Mae in conjunction with the additional of each such Additional Mortgaged Property.
3.3(2) Activity Fee. The Borrower shall pay an activity fee (“Activity Fee”) to Xxxxxx Xxx at the rates per annum on the unreimbursed amount of each Advance and the unreplenished amount of each Withdrawal as set out in this Section 3.3(2). The Activity Fee shall accrue on the basis of, during the Weekly Variable Rate Period, a 365- or 366-day year, as applicable, for the actual number of days elapsed and during any Reset Period and the Fixed Rate Period, a year of 360 days of twelve 30-day months. The Activity Fee shall accrue daily for the period from (and including) the day Xxxxxx Mae makes an Advance or the Trustee makes the Withdrawal, as the case may be, to (but excluding) the day the reimbursement or replenishment is, or is deemed to be, fully paid. The Activity Fee shall be calculated and paid as follows:
(a) Activity Fee for Principal Advance, Interest Advance and Issuer’s Fee Advances and Withdrawals. The Activity Fee for any unreimbursed Principal Advance, Interest Advance or Issuer’s Fee Advance and any unreplenished Withdrawal (other than a Withdrawal made to reimburse Xxxxxx Xxx for a Pledged Bonds Advance) will be the Prime Rate plus two percentage points per annum. Accrued Activity Fee shall be due and payable from time to time on demand by Xxxxxx Mae or the Loan Servicer, and without demand, shall be paid upon the reimbursement of any Advance or the replenishment of any Withdrawal, as applicable.
(b) Activity Fee For Pledged Bonds Advance or Withdrawal. The Activity Fee for an unreimbursed Pledged Bonds Advance or an unreplenished Withdrawal made to reimburse Xxxxxx Xxx on account of a Pledged Bonds Advance will be the Prime Rate per annum. Such Activity Fee shall be due and payable on each Servicing Payment Date for the corresponding Mortgage
67
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
Interest Period. The Borrower shall be entitled to a credit against their obligation to pay such Activity Fee under this subsection in the amount of the Facility Fee (but excluding the Loan Servicer’s Rate portion of the Facility Fee) actually paid by Borrower for the corresponding period multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the daily average of the unreimbursed amount of the Pledged Bonds Advance (or, as the case may be, the unreplenished Withdrawal) during such accrual period and the denominator of which is the daily average of the aggregate unpaid principal balance of the Loan or Loans relating to such Pledged Bonds Advance for the same period. Should the Borrower fail to reimburse the amount of any Pledged Bonds Advance when due in accordance with Section 3.2(1) or fail to replenish the amount of any Withdrawal made to reimburse Xxxxxx Mae on account of a Pledged Bonds Advance when due in accordance with Section 3.2(1), then such Activity Fee will be the Prime Rate plus two percentage points per annum from such due date to the date such amounts are paid in full.
As used in this Section, the term “Prime Rate” means an annual rate of interest equal to the prime rate of interest as reported from day to day in The Wall Street Journal (notwithstanding that such publication shows the prime rate of interest for the preceding Business Day) as the base rate on corporate loans posted by at least 75 percent of the nation’s 30 largest banks, or, if such rate is no longer available, then the base rate or prime rate of interest of any “Money Center” bank designated from time to time by Xxxxxx Xxx, in its discretion. Any change in the Prime Rate due to a change in the prime rate of interest as reported in The Wall Street Journal shall take effect on the date of publication.
3.3(3) Transfer Fee. Upon the transfer of any Credit Enhancement Instrument to any successor Trustee under the Indenture, the Borrower shall pay to Xxxxxx Mae the fee then customarily charged by Xxxxxx Xxx, but not exceeding $1,500, for transfers of its transferable credit enhancement instruments.
3.3(4) Termination Fee. If any Loan is prepaid in whole or in part (whether by a voluntary or a mandatory prepayment under the applicable Note), any Borrower substitutes an Alternate Credit Facility for any Credit Enhancement Instrument or any Borrower terminates Xxxxxx Mae’s credit enhancement and liquidity support for an issue of Bonds, in any case prior to the last Business Day of the tenth Loan Year after the applicable Closing Date, the Borrower shall pay a Termination Fee to the Loan Servicer for remittance to Xxxxxx Xxx. The “Termination Fee” shall be equal to a percentage of the unpaid principal amount of the Loan being prepaid, or, in the case of a substitution, termination or acceleration, the unpaid principal balance of the Loan, all as set forth in the attached Schedule 5 as it may be amended from time to time with the addition of Additional Mortgaged Properties. No Termination Fee shall be payable on account of a prepayment of the Loan for any of the following:
(a) a prepayment to the extent made from insurance proceeds or condemnation awards or proceeds under any Mortgage; and
(b) a prepayment by reason of a transfer from any Principal Reserve Fund associated with a mandatory redemption of any Bonds to the extent that the
68

Upon termination of personal liability of each Borrower pursuant to Section 3.13(2), each Borrower shall become personally liable to Xxxxxx Xxx for the payment and performance of all Obligations upon the occurrence of any of the following Events of Default: (1) any Borrower’s acquisition of any property or operation of any business not permitted by Section 33 of the Mortgages; or (2) a breach of any covenant set forth in Section 2.7 of this Agreement.
3.13(5) Permitted Transfer Not Release. No Transfer by the Key Principal of its Ownership Interests in any Borrower shall release any Borrower from liability under this Article, this Agreement or any other Borrower Document, unless Xxxxxx Mae shall have approved the Transfer and shall have expressly released the Borrower in connection with the Transfer.
3.13(6) Miscellaneous. To the extent that a Borrower has personal liability under this Section 3.13(6), Xxxxxx Xxx may exercise its rights against the Borrower personally without regard to whether Xxxxxx Mae has exercised any rights against any Mortgaged Property or any other security, or pursued any rights against any guarantor, or pursued any other rights available to Xxxxxx Xxx under the Borrower Documents or applicable law. For purposes of this Article, the term “Mortgaged Property” shall not include any funds

that (1) have been applied by any Borrower as required or permitted by the Borrower Documents prior to the occurrence of an Event of Default, or (2) are owned by a Borrower and which the Borrower was unable to apply as required or permitted by the Borrower Documents because of a bankruptcy, receivership, or similar judicial proceeding.
3.14 Loan Servicing.
3.14(1) Loan Servicing. As set out in each Assignment, the Borrower agrees that Xxxxxx Mae has the sole and exclusive right to arrange for the servicing of the Loans and the Assigned Documents. The Borrower acknowledges that Xxxxxx Xxx has appointed the Loan Servicer to perform these functions as well as to service the Obligations of the Borrower under this Agreement and the other Borrower Documents.
3.14(2) Payments Directly to Loan Servicer. The Borrower shall make all payments and prepayments of the principal of and interest and any premium on the Loans (whether regularly scheduled payments, an optional prepayment or otherwise), all other amounts payable under any of the Mortgage Loan Documents and all other fees, costs and expenses payable by the Borrower under each Financing Agreement, directly to the Loan Servicer for remittance to the Person to whom owed.
3.14(3) Payments on Servicing Payment Dates. The Borrower shall pay all principal of and interest on the Loans (whether regularly scheduled payments, an optional prepayment or otherwise), any prepayment premium under each Note and all regularly scheduled payments of fees, costs and expenses set out in Section 2.5 of each Financing Agreement to the Loan Servicer on the Servicing Payment Date. For the purpose of calculating the amount of interest due on each Note and the amount of fees due under each Financing Agreement, the fact that the Borrower is required to make the payment on a Servicing Payment Date (rather than on the date such amounts are otherwise payable) will be ignored.
3.14(4) Mortgage Interest During Weekly Variable Rate. If the interest rate on an issue of Bonds is a Weekly Variable Rate, the rate at which interest accrues on the applicable Note is reset on the same day of each week. However, the end of a Mortgage Interest Period may fall on any day of the week. Accordingly, for some Mortgage Interest Periods, the Weekly Variable Rate in effect for the last few days of the Mortgage Interest Period will not be known on the day the Loan Servicer invoices the Borrower for payments of interest on the Note. To provide for the orderly invoicing and payment of interest on the Note, the Loan Servicer will invoice the Borrower, and Borrower will pay the amount invoiced by the Loan Servicer, as the combination of (i) interest on the Note accrued for those days of the Mortgage Interest Period for which the Loan Servicer knows the rate at which interest on the Note accrues, plus (ii) for the remaining days of the Mortgage Interest Period interest at two percentage points in excess of the Weekly Variable Rate in effect for the last week of such Mortgage Interest Period for which the rate is known at the time of the invoice. If the amount invoiced by the Loan Servicer and paid by the Borrower is greater than the interest on the Note which actually accrued, the excess amount will be retained by the Loan Servicer and applied to the next payment of interest on the Note (or, if all of such issue of Bonds have been repaid in full, returned to the Borrower). If the amount paid is less than the accrued interest on the Note, the
81

Mid-America
Borrower will pay such deficiency within one Business Day of receipt of a restated invoice for interest on the Note for that Mortgage Interest Period.
3.15 Borrowing Agency Provisions.
(a) The Borrower hereby irrevocably designates the Borrower Agent to be its agent and in such capacity to receive on behalf of the Borrower all proceeds, receive all notices on behalf of the Borrower under this Agreement, make all requests under this Agreement, and execute, deliver and receive all instruments, certificates, requests, documents, writings and further assurances now or hereafter required hereunder, on behalf of such Borrower or Borrower, and hereby authorizes the Loan Servicer to pay over all loan proceeds hereunder in accordance with the request of the Borrower Agent.
(b) The handling of this credit facility as a co-borrowing facility with a borrower agent in the manner set forth in this Agreement is solely as an accommodation to the Borrower and at their request. Neither the Loan Servicer nor Xxxxxx Xxx shall incur liability to Borrower as a result thereof. To induce Lender and Xxxxxx Mae to do so and in consideration thereof, the Borrower hereby indemnifies the Loan Servicer and Xxxxxx Xxx and holds Loan Servicer and Xxxxxx Mae harmless from and against any and all liabilities, expenses, losses, damages and claims of damage or injury asserted against Loan Servicer or Xxxxxx Xxx by any Person arising from or incurred by reason of the Borrower Agent handling of the financing arrangements of the Borrower as provided herein, reliance by Loan Servicer or Xxxxxx Mae on any request or instruction from Borrower Agent or any other action taken by the Loan Servicer or Xxxxxx Xxx with respect to this Section 3.15 except due to willful misconduct or gross (not mere) negligence by the indemnified party.

Each Borrower hereby waives the benefit of all principles or provisions of law, statutory or otherwise, which are or might be in conflict with the terms of this Article IV and agrees that its obligations shall not be affected by any circumstances, whether or not referred to in this Article IV, which might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a surety or a guarantor.

Each Borrower also waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, all rights to require Xxxxxx Xxx to (a) proceed against any Borrower or any other guarantor of the Borrower’s payment or performance with respect to the Obligations, (b) proceed against or exhaust any Collateral held by Xxxxxx Mae to secure the repayment of the obligations, or (c) pursue any other remedy it may now or hereafter have against any Borrower or any Key Principal.

(b) At any time or from time to time any number of times, without notice to any Borrower in its capacity as guarantor and without affecting the liability of any Borrower, (a) the time for payment of the principal of or interest

4.3 No Impairment. Each Borrower agrees that the provisions of this Article IV are for the benefit of Xxxxxx Mae and its successors, transferees, endorsees and assigns, and nothing herein contained shall impair, as between any other Borrower and Xxxxxx Xxx, the obligations of such other Borrower under the Borrower Documents.
4.4 No Subrogation. No Borrower shall have the right of, and hereby waives any claim for, subrogation contribution, indemnity or reimbursement against any other Borrower or any General Partner of any other Borrower by reason of any payment by such Borrower under this Article IV, whether such right or claim arises at law or in equity or under any contract or statute or otherwise, until the Obligations have been paid in full.
4.5 Subordination of Subrogation, Etc. Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that in the event that, notwithstanding Section 4.4 hereof, to the extent its agreement and waiver set forth in Section 4.4 is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void or voidable for any reason and such Borrower has any subrogation or other rights against any other Borrower by virtue of this Article IV, any such claims, direct or indirect, that such Borrower may have by subrogation rights or other form of reimbursement, contribution or indemnity, against any other Borrower or to any security or any such Borrower pursuant to this Article IV, shall be and such rights, claims and indebtedness are hereby deferred, postponed and fully subordinated in time and right of payment to the prior payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations. Until payment and performance in full with interest (including post-petition interest in any case under the Bankruptcy Code) of the Obligations, each Borrower agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of any other Borrower in respect of any such subrogation rights arising by virtue of payments made pursuant to this Article IV, and hereby assigns such rights or indebtedness to Xxxxxx Mae, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. In the event that any payment on account of any such subrogation rights shall be received by any Borrower in violation of the foregoing, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Xxxxxx Xxx, and any amount so collected should be turned over to Xxxxxx Mae for application to the Obligations.

4.6 Election of Remedies.
(a) Xxxxxx Xxx, in its discretion, may (a) bring suit against any one or more Borrower, jointly and severally, without any requirement that Xxxxxx Mae first proceed against any other Borrower or any other Person; (b) compromise or settle with any one or more Borrower, or any other Person, for such consideration as Xxxxxx Xxx may xxxx proper; (c) release one or more Borrower, or any other Person, from liability; and (d) otherwise deal with any Borrower and any other Person, or any one or more of them, in any manner, or resort to any of the Collateral at any time held by it for performance of the Obligations or any other source or means of obtaining payment of the Obligations, and no such action shall impair the rights of Xxxxxx Mae to collect from any Borrower any amount guaranteed by any Borrower under this Article IV. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall in any way affect or impair the rights or obligations of any Borrower with respect to any other Borrower.
(b) If, in the exercise of any of its rights and remedies, Xxxxxx Xxx shall forfeit any of its rights or remedies, including its rights to enter a deficiency judgment against any Borrower or any other Person, whether because of any applicable laws pertaining to “election of remedies” or the like, each Borrower hereby consents to such action by Xxxxxx Mae and waives any claim based upon such action, even if such action by Xxxxxx Xxx shall result in a full or partial loss or any rights of subrogation which each Borrower might otherwise have had but for such action by Xxxxxx Mae. Any election of remedies which results in the denial or impairment of the right of Xxxxxx Xxx to seek a deficiency judgment against any Borrower shall not impair any other Borrower’s obligation to pay the full amount of the Obligations. In the event Xxxxxx Mae shall bid at any foreclosure or trustee’s sale or at any private sale permitted by law or any of the Borrower Documents, Xxxxxx Xxx may bid all or less than the amount of the Obligations and the amount of such bid need not be paid by Xxxxxx Mae but shall be credited against the Obligations. The amount of the successful bid at any such sale, whether Xxxxxx Xxx or any other party is the successful bidder, shall be conclusively deemed to be fair market value of the Collateral and the difference between such bid amount and the remaining balance of the Obligations shall be conclusively deemed to be amount of the Obligations guaranteed under this Section 4.6, notwithstanding that any present or future law or court decision or ruling may have the effect of reducing the amount of any deficiency claim to which Agent or any Xxxxxx Mae might otherwise be entitled but for such bidding at any such sale.
4.7 Subordination of Other Obligations.
(a) Each Borrower hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all amounts payable from time to time to such Borrower by any other Borrower pursuant to any agreement, whether secured or unsecured, whether of principal, interest or otherwise, other than the amounts referred to in this Article IV (collectively, the “Subordinated Obligations”), shall be and such rights, claims

and indebtedness are, hereby deferred, postponed and fully subordinated in time and right of payment to the prior payment, performance and satisfaction in full of the Obligations; provided, however, that payments may be received by any Borrower in accordance with, and only in accordance with, the provisions of Section 4.7(b) hereof.
(b) Until the Obligations under all the Borrower Documents have been finally paid in full or fully performed and all the Borrower Documents have been terminated, each Borrower irrevocably and unconditionally agrees it will not ask, demand, xxx for, take or receive, directly or indirectly, by set-off, redemption, purchase or in any other manner whatsoever, any payment with respect to, or any security or guaranty for, the whole or any part of the Subordinated Obligations, and in issuing documents, instruments or agreements of any kind evidencing the Subordinated Obligations, each Borrower hereby agrees that it will not receive any payment of any kind on account of the Subordinated Obligations, so long as any of the Obligations under all the Borrower Documents are outstanding or any of the terms and conditions of any of the Borrower Documents are in effect; provided, however, that, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, if no potential Event of Default or Event of Default or any other event or condition which would constitute an Event of Default after notice or lapse of time or both has occurred and is continuing under all the Borrower Documents, then payments may be received by such Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations in accordance with and provided that such Borrower and each other Borrower make such payment in full. Except as aforesaid, each Borrower agrees not to accept any payment or satisfaction of any kind of indebtedness of any other Borrower in respect of the Subordinated Obligations and hereby assigns such rights or indebtedness to Xxxxxx Mae, including the right to file proofs of claim and to vote thereon in connection with any case under the Bankruptcy Code, including the right to vote on any plan of reorganization. In the event that any payment on account of Subordinated Obligations shall be received by any Borrower in violation of the foregoing, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of Xxxxxx Xxx, and any amount so collected shall be turned over to Xxxxxx Mae upon demand.
4.8 Insolvency and Liability of Other Borrower. So long as any of the Obligations are outstanding, if a petition under the Bankruptcy Code is filed by or against any Borrower, each other Borrower agrees to file all claims against such Borrower in any bankruptcy or other proceeding in which the filing of claims is required by law in connection with indebtedness owed by such Borrower and to assign to Xxxxxx Xxx all rights thereunder up to the amount of such indebtedness. In all such cases, the Person or Persons authorized to pay such claims shall pay to Xxxxxx Mae the full amount thereof and Xxxxxx Xxx agrees to pay such Borrower any amounts received in excess of the amount necessary to pay the Obligations. Such Borrower hereby assigns to Xxxxxx Mae all of such Borrower’s rights to all such payments to which such Borrower would otherwise be entitled but not to exceed the full amount of the Obligations. In the event that, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such payment shall be received by any Borrower before the Obligations shall have been finally paid in full, such payment shall be held in trust for the benefit of and shall be paid over to Xxxxxx Xxx upon
86
Master Reimbursement Agreement

demand. Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, the liability of each Borrower hereunder shall in no way be affected by:
(a) the release or discharge of any other Borrower in any creditors’, receivership, bankruptcy or other proceedings; or
(b) the impairment, limitation or modification of the liability of any other Borrower or the estate of any other Borrower in bankruptcy resulting from the operation of any present or future provisions of the Bankruptcy Code or other statute or from the decision in any court.
4.9 Preferences, Fraudulent Conveyances, Etc. If Xxxxxx Mae is required to refund, or voluntarily refunds, any payment received from any Borrower because such payment is or may be avoided, invalidated, declared fraudulent, set aside or determined to be void or voidable as a preference, fraudulent conveyance, impermissible setoff or a diversion of trust funds under the bankruptcy laws or for any similar reason, including without limitation any judgment, order or decree of any court or administrative body having jurisdiction over any Borrower or any of its property, or upon or as a result of the appointment of a receiver, intervenor, custodian or conservator of, or trustee or similar officer for, any Borrower or any substantial part of its property, or otherwise, or any statement or compromise of any claim effected by Xxxxxx Xxx with any Borrower or any other claimant (a “Rescinded Payment”), then each other Borrower’s liability to Xxxxxx Mae shall continue in full force and effect, or each other Borrower’s liability to Xxxxxx Xxx shall be reinstated and renewed, as the case may be, with the same effect and to the same extent as if the Rescinded Payment had not been received by Xxxxxx Mae, notwithstanding the cancellation or termination of any of the Borrower Documents, and regardless of whether Xxxxxx Xxx contested the order requiring the return of such payment. In addition, each other Borrower shall pay, or reimburse Xxxxxx Mae for, all expenses (including all reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and related disbursements) incurred by Xxxxxx Xxx in the defense of any claim that a payment received by Xxxxxx Mae in respect of all or any part of the Obligations must be refunded. The provisions of this Section 4.9 shall survive the termination of the Borrower Documents and any satisfaction and discharge of any Borrower by virtue of any payment, court order or any federal or state law.
4.10 Maximum Liability of Each Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement or any of the Borrower Documents to the contrary, if the obligations of any Borrower under this Agreement or any of the other Borrower Documents exceed the limitations imposed under any Fraudulent Transfer Law (as hereinafter defined), then such liability of such Borrower shall be limited to a maximum aggregate amount equal to the largest amount that would not render its obligations under this Agreement or all the other Borrower Documents subject to avoidance as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance under Section 548 of Title 11 of the United States Code or any applicable provisions of comparable state law (collectively, the “Fraudulent Transfer Laws”), in each case after giving effect to all other liabilities of such Borrower, contingent or otherwise, that are relevant under the Fraudulent Transfer Laws (specifically excluding, however, any liabilities of such Borrower in respect of indebtedness to any other Borrower or any other Person that is an Affiliate of the other Borrower to the extent that such indebtedness would be discharged in an amount equal to the amount paid by such Borrower in respect of the Obligations) and after giving effect (as assets) to the value (as
87

determined under the applicable provisions of the Fraudulent Transfer Laws) of any rights to subrogation, reimbursement, indemnification or contribution of such Borrower pursuant to applicable law or pursuant to the terms of any agreement including the Contribution Agreement.
4.11 Liability Cumulative. The liability of each Borrower under this Article IV is in addition to and shall be cumulative with all liabilities of such Borrower to Xxxxxx Xxx under this Agreement and all the other Borrower Documents to which such Borrower is a party or in respect of any Obligations of any other Borrower.

94
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
as amended from time to time to include information required under the DUS guide; and
(y) A statement whether the addition of the proposed Substituted Mortgaged Property will occur simultaneously with the release of the proposed Collateral Release Property and, if not, the Borrower shall specify the proposed date on which the proposed Substituted Mortgaged Property will be added to the Collateral Pool which, in no event, shall be a date which is more than 90 days after the proposed date of the release of the proposed Collateral Release Property.
(ii) Additional Information. The Borrower shall promptly deliver to Fannie Mae any additional information concerning the proposed Substituted Mortgaged Property and the proposed Collateral Release Property that Fannie Mae may from time to time reasonably request.
(iii) Underwriting. Fannie Mae shall evaluate the proposed Substituted Mortgaged Property, and shall make underwriting determinations as to (a) the Aggregate Debt Service Coverage Ratios and the Aggregate Loan to Value Ratio immediately prior to and immediately after giving effect to the proposed substitution, and (b) the Valuation and the Net Operating Income for the Trailing 12 Month Period for both the proposed Substituted Mortgaged Property and the proposed Collateral Release Property.

therefore Fannie Mae does not consent to the substitution of the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property into the Collateral Pool in replacement of the proposed Collateral Release Property, Fannie Mae shall include, in its notice, a brief statement of the reasons for doing so. Within five Business Days after receipt of Fannie Mae’s notice that it shall consent to the substitution of the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property into the Collateral Pool in replacement of the proposed Collateral Release Property, the Borrower shall notify Fannie Mae whether or not they elect to cause such substitution to occur.

(iv) Closing. If, pursuant to this Section 6.4, Fannie Mae consents to the substitution of the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property into the Collateral Pool in replacement of the proposed Collateral Release Property, the Borrower timely elects to cause such substitution to occur and all conditions contained in Section 6.4(c) are satisfied, Fannie Mae shall permit the proposed Additional Mortgaged Property to be substituted into the Collateral Pool in replacement of the proposed Collateral Release Property at a closing occurring:
(x) if the substitution of the proposed Substituted Collateral Property is to occur simultaneously with the release of the proposed Collateral Released Property, on the date of the issuance of the Bonds or the substitution of Fannie Mae’s credit enhancement for the existing credit enhancement of Bonds relating to the Proposed Substituted Property; or
(y) if the substitution of the proposed Substituted Collateral Property is to occur subsequent to the release of the Collateral Release Property, within 90 days after the release of the Collateral Release Property in accordance with Section 6.2(c).
If, in the case of clause (y), the addition of the proposed Substituted Collateral Property to the Collateral Pool does not occur within 90 days or such longer period as approved Fannie Mae, in its sole discretion, after the release of the Collateral Release Property in accordance with such clause (y), then the Borrower shall have waived its right to substitute such Collateral Release Property with the proposed Substituted Mortgaged Property, the Release Price shall be determined pursuant to Section 6.2(c) and the Borrower shall comply with the requirement set forth in Section 6.3.

98
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
Release Property that was released, unless the Borrower shall have delivered to the Lender Additional Collateral reasonably acceptable to Fannie Mae in an amount at least equal to such Allocable Facility Amount. In the event that the aggregate unpaid principal balance of Bonds Outstanding exceeds such amount (and Additional Collateral in an amount at least equal to the applicable Allocable Facility Amount has not been delivered by the Borrower to Fannie Mae), as a condition precedent to the substitution of a Substituted Mortgaged Property into the Collateral Pool, the Borrower shall pay such excess. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the value of the Additional Collateral exceed 15% of the aggregate principal balance of the Outstanding Bonds. Any payment received by Fannie Mae under this Section 6.4(d) shall be held and applied in accordance with the terms of the Cash Collateral Agreement and in accordance with Section 6.5. The Additional Collateral shall be released to the Borrower upon the addition of the applicable Substituted Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool in accordance with this Section 6.4.
6.5 Additional Collateral to Satisfy Requirements.

If Fannie Mae determines that the requirements set forth in Sections 6.4(c)(i) and (ii) are not met or in the event of a breach of either of the covenants set forth in Section 2.6(2) or 2.6(3), the Borrower shall have the option of either (i) providing to Fannie Mae a Letter of Credit which shall either have a term equal to the Term of this Agreement or shall provide for a drawing 30 Business Days prior to its date of termination in the event it is not renewed; (ii) paying cash to the Cash Collateral Account; (iii) adding an Additional Mortgaged Property to the Collateral Pool in a manner which meets the requirements of Article V but which Additional Mortgaged Property is to be encumbered solely by a Security Instrument in favor of Fannie Mae securing all of the Obligations; or (iv) to the extent permitted under the Borrower Documents, prepay in part or in whole the outstanding principal amount of a Loan or Loans designated by Fannie Mae, in each case in an amount, or in relation to an Additional Mortgaged Property with value equal to that amount or that value, which Loan Servicer and Fannie Mae determine will cause the requirements in Sections 6.4(c)(i) and (ii), Section 2.6(2) or Section 2.6(3), as the case may be, to be satisfied. For purposes of making such calculation, the Loan Servicer and Fannie Mae shall deduct the amount of cash deposited to the Cash Collateral Account or the amount available under the Letter of Credit from the outstanding principal balance of all of the Loans (the “Assumed Mortgage Principal Amount”) and (i) calculate the interest component of debt service based on such Assumed Mortgage Principal Amount and (ii) calculate the principal component of debt service by multiplying the actual amount of principal and Principal Reserve Fund payments times a fraction with a numerator equal to the Assumed Mortgage Principal Amount and a denominator equal to the actual outstanding principal amount or all of the Loans. In the event such Borrower exercises either of the options set forth in clauses (i) or (ii) of this Section 6.5(1), such Borrower shall execute and deliver to Fannie Mae a Cash Collateral Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Fannie Mae agrees at the request of the Borrower to exchange one type of Additional Collateral for another type of Additional Collateral which is of equivalent value and which meets the requirements of this Agreement.

ARTICLE VII
INTEREST RATE PROTECTION AND ADJUSTMENT
OR CONVERSION OF INTEREST RATE ON THE BONDS
7.1 Interest Rate Protection.
7.1(1) Hedge. Subject to Section 7.4(b), to protect against fluctuations in interest rates, the Borrower shall make arrangements for a Hedge to be in place and maintained at all times with respect to each issue of Bonds, during any period in which such Bonds bear interest at the Weekly Variable Rate or at the Reset Rate for a Reset Rate Period of 5 years or less. If the Bonds are issued as Weekly Variable Rate Bonds or as Reset Rate Bonds for a Reset Rate Period of 5 years or less, each Hedge must be in place on the applicable Closing Date for a period beginning on such Closing Date and ending not earlier than the date which is, the fifth (5th) anniversary of such Closing Date (the “Initial Hedge Period”). Each Hedge also shall be in place and maintained at all times during any other period that the Weekly Variable Rate is in effect or a Reset Rate is in effect for a Reset Rate Period of 5 years or less (a “Subsequent Hedge”) whether or not a default shall have occurred under the applicable Hedge Documents (as defined below). A Subsequent Hedge must be fully executed and delivered on terms and conditions consistent with this Agreement. A Subsequent Hedge must have an effective date not later than the day following the last day of the Initial Hedge Period or any prior Subsequent Hedge period. Any Subsequent Hedge must terminate on the earliest of (1) a date which is not earlier than the fifth (5th) anniversary of the effective date of such Subsequent Hedge, (2) the date on which the applicable Credit Enhancement Instrument terminates or (3) the maturity date of the issue of Bonds (the “Subsequent Hedge Period”). Notwithstanding this Section, but subject to Section 7.2(4), if a Hedge unexpectedly and unavoidably terminates on a date other than its scheduled expiration date, the Borrower shall, within ten days of such termination, obtain a new Hedge satisfying the requirements of this Section. Each Hedge shall be secured and documented on terms and conditions approved by, and with a counterparty (a “Counterparty”) acceptable to Fannie Mae. Each Hedge shall be evidenced and governed by such documents (the “Hedge Documents”) as shall be acceptable to, and which shall in form and content be acceptable to, Fannie Mae. Not later than the day following the last day of each Initial Hedge Period or any Subsequent Hedge Period, such Borrower shall ensure that either (a) a Subsequent Hedge is in full force and effect if the issue of Bonds bears interest at a Weekly Variable Rate or a Reset Rate is in effect for a Reset Rate Period of 5 years or less, (b) the issue of Bonds has been adjusted to a Reset Rate for a Reset Rate Period of more than 5 years or (c) the Bonds have been converted to a Fixed Rate in each case in accordance with this Agreement, the Bond Documents and the Mortgage Loan Documents.
The obligation of the Borrower to acquire, maintain and replace Hedges as required by this Article shall not be diminished or otherwise affected by any shortfall between the balance of the Hedge Reserve Escrow Account pursuant to Section 7.3 and the cost of any Hedge.
101
Master Reimbursement Agreement

7.1(2) Change of Interest Rate Mode.
(a) The Borrower acknowledges and agrees that the interest rate on each issue of Bonds may be adjusted to a Fixed Rate (from a Weekly Variable Rate or the Reset Rate) or to a Reset Rate (from a Weekly Variable Rate or a prior Reset Rate) or to a Weekly Variable Rate (from a Reset Rate), in each case as provided in, and subject to the terms and conditions of, the applicable Indenture and this Agreement. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement or the other Borrower Documents to the contrary, at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of any Weekly Variable Rate Period or Reset Rate Period, such Borrower must obtain the prior written consent of Fannie Mae as a condition to adjusting or converting the interest rate on an issue of Bonds to another Mode or maintaining such Bonds in the Reset Rate Period. Any such consent shall be granted by Fannie Mae upon and conditioned upon the satisfaction of the requirements set forth below in subsections (b) and (c).
(b) Any Borrower shall adjust the interest rate on an issue of Bonds to a Reset Rate or convert to a Fixed Rate only if (i) the Effective Interest Rate (defined below) on such Bonds after the proposed adjustment to the proposed Reset Rate or conversion to a Fixed Rate i.e., the effective interest rate derived from including the principal and interest payments due on the Bonds at the proposed Reset Rate or a Fixed Rate plus the Fee Component, (the “Effective Interest Rate”) is less than or equal to the Underwriting Rate; and (ii) no Default or Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing.
(c) Any Borrower shall adjust the interest rate on an issue of Bonds to a Weekly Variable Rate from a Reset Rate only if (i) no Event of Default shall have occurred or be continuing, (ii) such Borrower complies with all of the terms and conditions of Section 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 hereof, and (iii) a Remarketing Agent approved by Fannie Mae is obligated to remarket the Bonds pursuant to a Remarketing Agreement approved by Fannie Mae.
7.2 Hedge Terms.
7.2(1) Cap or Swap Payment Terms. Under each Cap arrangement, the Counterparty shall pay a floating amount, computed in accordance with the Hedge Documents, to the extent that the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index (as defined below) exceeds the Hedge Rate, in each case based on the notional amount of the Cap. Under each Swap arrangement the Counterparty shall pay a floating rate computed in accordance with the Hedge Documents based on the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index and the Borrower shall pay a fixed rate to the Counterparty equal to or less than the Strike Rate, in each case based on the notional amount of the Swap. Each Hedge must provide for monthly settlement on the fifteenth (15th) day of each month. The Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index is the rate determined on the basis of an index based upon the weekly interest rate resets of tax-exempt variable rate issues included in a database maintained by Municipal Market Data which meet specific criteria established by the Bond Market Association. If the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index is not published on any reset date under the Hedge,
102
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
the Counterparty must determine an appropriate index as a substitute for the Bond Market Association Municipal Swap Index on each such reset date. The index so determined shall provide a rate of interest that is equivalent to the prevailing rate of interest borne by bonds that are rated in the highest short-term rating category by Moody’s and S&P in respect of issuers of not less than five “high grade” component issuers selected by the Counterparty which shall include, without limitation, issuers of general obligation bonds, and that are subject to tender by holders thereof for purchase on not more than seven (7) days notice and the interest on which is (a) variable, determined on a weekly basis, (b) excludable from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (c) not subject to a “minimum tax” or similar tax unless all tax-exempt bonds are subject to such tax. Each Counterparty must meet the minimum requirements for hedge counterparties set out in the DUS Guide and must be approved by Fannie Mae in advance in writing. Each Hedge must be provided by a Counterparty, evidenced and secured by Hedge Documents and written on such terms and conditions as are acceptable to Fannie Mae. Before seeking bids for a Hedge, the Borrower shall obtain Fannie Mae’s written approval of the potential Counterparties, the terms and conditions on which bids for the Hedge will be solicited and the Hedge Documents to be entered into.
7.2(2) Hedge Assignment; Delivery of Hedge Payments. Fannie Mae shall be granted an enforceable, perfected, first priority lien on and security interest in each Hedge, and payments due under each Hedge (including scheduled and termination payments) in order to secure the Borrower’s obligations to Fannie Mae under this Agreement pursuant to a Hedge Assignment to be delivered by any Borrower to Fannie Mae (a) no later than the applicable Closing Date with respect to each Hedge required to be obtained for the Initial Hedge Period, and (b) no later than the commencement date of each period with respect to each Subsequent Hedge required to be obtained after the applicable Closing Date. Pursuant to the terms of the Hedge Assignment with respect to each Hedge, the applicable Counterparty with respect to such Hedge shall make all payments under such Hedge (including any Termination Payments due from a Counterparty upon termination of such Hedge) directly to the Loan Servicer to be held and disbursed in accordance with the applicable Hedge Assignment.
7.2(3) Termination. The Borrower shall neither terminate, transfer nor consent to any transfer of any existing Hedge without Fannie Mae’s prior written consent as long as any Borrower is required to maintain a Hedge pursuant to this Agreement.
7.2(4) Performance Under Hedge Documents. Any Borrower agrees to comply fully with, and to otherwise perform when due, its obligations under all applicable Hedge Documents and all other agreements evidencing, governing and/or securing any Hedge arrangement contemplated under Sections 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement. The Borrower shall not exercise without Fannie Mae’s prior written consent, and shall exercise at Fannie Mae’s direction, any rights or remedies under any Hedge Document, including without limitation the right of termination. Upon termination of an existing Hedge on a date other than the scheduled termination date, the applicable Borrower shall, within ten (10) days of such termination, obtain a new Hedge satisfying the terms of this Agreement.
7.2(5) Amount of Bonds Covered by Hedge. The notional amount of any Hedge with respect to an issue of Bonds, shall be equal to the principal ¨amount of such
103
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
Bonds outstanding less the amount of moneys in the applicable Principal Reserve Fund (without regard to earnings) immediately prior to the commencement of a Hedge Period.
7.2(6) Change in Hedge. Any Borrower may change the type of Hedge (i.e., from a Swap to a Cap or from a Cap to a Swap) which is in place at any time with respect to the Bonds so long as the terms and conditions of the replacement Hedge, the Hedge Documents, the Hedge Assignment and the new Counterparty comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including any consent or approval rights of Fannie Mae.
7.3 Hedge Reserve Escrow Account Deposits. Upon the termination of the effectiveness of Section 3.13(1) pursuant to Section 3.13(2) and during any period in which a Hedge with a term of five (5) years (a “Five Year Hedge”) is in effect, the Borrower shall make monthly deposits (“Monthly Deposit”) to the Loan Servicer to be held under the Hedge Reserve Escrow Account Security Agreement to provide moneys for the purchase of a Subsequent Hedge. The Borrower shall make the Monthly Deposits on each Servicing Payment Date during the term of a Five Year Hedge. The first deposit will be due on the Servicing Payment Date in the next month after the effective date of such Five Year Hedge. The amount of each deposit (as adjusted from time to time, “Monthly Deposit Amount”) shall be determined in accordance with this Section.
(a) Initial Monthly Deposit Amount. Initially, the Monthly Deposit Amount will be 1/60th of the purchase price of the Five Year Hedge then coming into effect, until changed, if at all, by the recalculation of the Monthly Deposit Amount on any Change Date as described in subsection (b).
(b) Change Dates. The Monthly Deposit Amount will be subject to adjustment each calendar year. The date on which any adjustment in the Monthly Deposit Amount becomes effective is called a “Change Date.” The Change Date will fall in the same month each year as the month in which the related Five Year Hedge became effective. The Change Date will be the Servicing Payment Date of that month. The first Change Date related to a Five Year Hedge will occur in the next calendar year after such Hedge became effective. Subsequent Change Dates will fall on the Servicing Payment Date for that same month each following calendar year. Whenever a Subsequent Hedge which will be a Five Year Hedge is purchased, the Change Date will change. The new Change Date will fall on the Servicing Payment Date for the month in which the new Five Year Hedge became effective, commencing in the next calendar year after such Hedge became effective. Subsequent Change Dates will fall on the Servicing Payment Date for that same month each following calendar year unless again changed in accordance with this subsection.
(c) Determination of New Monthly Deposit Amount. One month before each Change Date, the Loan Servicer shall determine the cost of the next Subsequent Hedge, based on then existing market conditions, as if it the next Subsequent Hedge were to be purchased at that time (“Trial Hedge Cost”). The Loan Servicer will then compare (i) the Trial Hedge Cost with (ii) the product of ¨multiplying the Monthly Deposit Amount then in effect times 60. If the Trial
104
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
Hedge Cost is not the higher number, no adjustment to the Monthly Deposit Amount will be made. If the Trial Hedge Cost is the higher number, the Loan Servicer shall adjust the Monthly Deposit Amount to be effective from (and including) the Change Date then about to occur (“Next Change Date”). The new Monthly Deposit Amount will be that amount which shall cause the deposit balance of the Hedge Reserve Escrow Account, at the expiration date of the then outstanding Hedge, to equal the Trial Hedge Cost, taking into consideration the balance of the Hedge Reserve Escrow Account immediately before the Next Change Date and the number of deposits remaining to be made over the months from (and including) the Next Change Date to the expiration date of the then outstanding Hedge. The Loan Servicer shall make the calculation on the assumption that the applicable Borrower will make each monthly deposit in the full amount when due and no further adjustment to the Monthly Deposit Amount will be made after the adjustment taking effect on the Next Change Date. In calculating the new Monthly Deposit Amount, the Loan Servicer shall ignore any investment income on funds held under the Hedge Reserve Escrow Account Security Agreement.
(d) Determination of Monthly Deposit Amount if Monthly Deposits Are Instituted after Period When no Monthly Deposits Were Required. If a Borrower acquires a Five Year Hedge which commences after the expiration or termination of a Hedge with a term of seven (7) (a “Seven Year Hedge”), such Borrower will again be required to make Monthly Deposits in accordance with this Section 7.3.
7.4 Borrower’s Right and Fannie Mae’s Right to Convert to Reset Rate, Fixed Rate.
(a) At least sixty (60) days prior to the date on which a Hedge terminates, if the issue of Bonds is in a Weekly Variable Rate Mode or a Reset Rate Mode of five years or less any Borrower shall give notice, and provide evidence satisfactory, to Fannie Mae and the Loan Servicer that it will either (a) secure a Subsequent Hedge, or (b) adjust such Bonds to a Reset Rate for a Reset Rate Period of more than 5 years or (c) convert such Bonds to a Fixed Rate, in each case in accordance with Section 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement and the requirements of the applicable Indenture. If the Borrower elects to secure a Subsequent Hedge, then (i) at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the existing Hedge, the Borrower shall notify Fannie Mae of the persons who will bid to be the Counterparty and the term and the terms of the Subsequent Hedge, and (ii) at least seven Business Days prior to the expiration of the Hedge, the Borrower shall provide Fannie Mae with evidence that the Subsequent Hedge has been obtained in accordance with the requirements of Section 7.1.
(b) If for any reason a proposed change in interest rate Mode or an adjustment from one Reset Rate to another Reset Rate fails to occur and the ¨interest rate on an issue of Bonds automatically reverts to the Weekly Variable Rate pursuant to Section 207 of the applicable Indenture, the applicable
105
Master Reimbursement Agreement
Mid-America
Borrower shall either: (i) within ten days of such reversion, purchase a Subsequent Hedge which complies with all of the terms and conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 or (ii) subject to Section 7.1(2), adjust the interest rate on the Bonds to a Fixed Rate or a Reset Rate on the next Interest Payment Date on the Bonds.
(c) If any Borrower fails to satisfy the conditions set forth in paragraphs (a) or (b) above within the designated time periods, Fannie Mae is hereby granted the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Trustee on behalf of such Borrower that the interest rate on the issue of Bonds be (a) adjusted to a Reset Rate pursuant to the applicable Indenture, (b) converted to a Fixed Rate pursuant to the applicable Indenture, or (c) adjusted to or remain at the Weekly Variable Rate pursuant to the applicable Indenture. If Fannie Mae exercises the foregoing right, it shall not be deemed to waive its right to declare an Event of Default under this Agreement because of such Borrower’s failure to comply with the requirements of Section 7.1, 7.2 or 7.3 of this Agreement. Fannie Mae shall have the right at any time to revoke any prior direction it may give in connection with any proposed adjustment or conversion of the interest rate on the Bonds as contemplated above in this Section 7.3, without waiving any of its rights under this Agreement. Fannie Mae shall have the further right, in its discretion, to take no action upon such Borrower’s failure to provide timely notice and/or evidence as required by this Section 7.3 or otherwise to comply with Section 7.1 and 7.2 of this Agreement, without waiving any of its rights under this Agreement. Each Borrower hereby appoints Fannie Mae, through any duly authorized officer of such Borrower, as the Borrower’s attorney-in-fact, with full authority in the place and stead of such Borrower and in the name of such Borrower or otherwise, from time to time in Fannie Mae’s discretion, to take any action and to execute any instrument which Fannie Mae may deem necessary or advisable to accomplish the purposes of this Section 7.3. Each Borrower agrees that the power of attorney established pursuant to this Section 7.3 shall be deemed coupled with an interest and shall be irrevocable.
