(a) An agreement to enter into a Transaction may be made orally or in
writing at the initiation of either Buyer or Seller, or automatically pursuant
to the terms of any one or more of Buyer's deposit accounts with seller. On the
Purchase Date for the Transaction, the Purchased Securities shall be held by
Seller or its agent in the manner prescribed in Part 450.4 of the Title 17 of
the Code of Federal Regulations, against the crediting of the Purchase Price to
an account of the Seller in immediately available funds.
(b) At the end of the day of initiation of any Transaction herein, or
at the end of any other day during which other securities are substituted for
Purchased Securities pursuant to Paragraph 9 hereof, Seller shall promptly
deliver to Buyer a written confirmation of each Transaction (a "Confirmation");
provided, however, that Seller need not send a Confirmation at the end of any
day during which other securities are substituted for Purchased Securities
pursuant to Paragraph 9 hereof unless the substitution results in a change to
issuer, maturity date, par amount or coupon rate specified in the previous
Confirmation, and provided further that Seller need not send a Confirmation
with respect to Transactions or substitutions that occur before January 31,
1988. The Confirmation shall identify the Buyer and the Seller and shall
specify (i) the Purchase Date, (ii) the Purchase Price, (iii) the Repurchase
Date, unless the Transaction is to be terminable on demand, (iv) the Pricing
Rate or Repurchase Price applicable to the Transaction, (v) the Issuer,
maturity date, coupon rate, par amount and market value of the Purchased
Securities, (vi) the CUSIP or mortgage-backed security pool number, as
appropriate, of the Purchased Securities, and (vii) any additional terms or
conditions of the Transaction not inconsistent with this Agreement. The
Confirmation, together with this Agreement, shall constitute conclusive
evidence of the terms agreed between Buyer and Seller
3
with respect to the Transaction to which the Confirmation relates, unless with
respect to the Confirmation specific objection is made promptly after receipt
thereof. In the event of any conflict between the terms of such Confirmation
and this Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail.
(c) In the case of Transactions terminable upon demand, such demand
shall be made by the Buyer or Seller, no later than such time as is customary
in accordance with market practice, by telephone or otherwise on or prior to
the banking day on which such termination will be effective. On the date of
such demand, or on the date fixed for termination in the case of Transactions
having a fixed term, termination of the Transaction will be effected by
transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased Securities and any income in
respect thereof collected by the Buyer (and not previously credited or paid to,
or applied to the obligations of, Seller pursuant to Paragraph 5 hereof)
against the crediting of the Repurchase Price to an account of the Buyer in
immediately available funds.
4. MARGIN MAINTENANCE.
(a) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased
Securities subject to all Transactions is less than the aggregate Buyer's
Margin Amount for all such Transactions (a "Margin Deficit"), then Buyer may
require Seller, at Seller's option, to make a cash payment to Buyer or to
transfer to Buyer 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.
(b) If at any time the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased
Securities subject to all Transactions exceeds the aggregate Seller's Margin
Amount for all such Transactions at such time (a "Margin Excess"), then Seller
may be notice to Buyer require Buyer, at Buyer's option, to make a cash payment
to Seller or to transfer Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate
Market Value of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or
any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed such
aggregate Seller's Margin Amount.
(c) Any cash paid or repaid pursuant to this Paragraph shall be
attributed to such Transactions as shall be agreed upon by Buyer and Seller.
(d) Seller and Buyer may agree, with respect to any or all
Transactions hereunder, that the 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 exceeds a specified dollar amount or a
specified percentage of the Repurchase Price for such Transactions (which
amount or percentage shall be agreed to by Buyer and Seller prior to entering
into any such Transactions).
(e) 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, can be exercised
whenever such a Margin Deficit or Margin Excess exists with respect to any
single Transaction hereunder (calculated without regard to any other
Transaction outstanding under this agreement).
5. INCOME PAYMENTS.
Where a particular Transaction's term extends over an Income payment
date on the Securities subject to the Transaction, an amount equal to such
Income payment or payments with respect to any Purchased Securities subject to
such Transaction shall, on the date such Income is payable, be paid or credited
to the account of Seller.
4
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 proceeds thereof.
7. PAYMENT AND TRANSFER.
Unless otherwise mutually agreed, all payments hereunder shall be in
immediately available funds. All transfers of securities by one party hereto to
the other party shall be made by Seller or its agent in the manner prescribed
in Part 450 of Title 17 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
8. SEGREGATION OF PURCHASED SECURITIES.
All Purchased Securities in the possession of the Seller shall be
segregated from Seller's securities and shall be identified as subject to this
Agreement. Segregation shall be accomplished as prescribed in Part 450 of Title
17 of the Code of Federal Regulations.
9. SUBSTITUTION. (DELETED)
10. REPRESENTATIONS.
Each of the Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that
(i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this Agreement, to enter into
the 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

5
(a) At the option of the nondefaulting party, exercised by written
notice to the defaulting party (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 be
deemed immediately to occur.
(b) In all Transactions in which the defaulting party is Seller, if

repurchase all Purchased Securities in such Transactions shall thereupon become
immediately due and payable, (ii) to the extent permitted by applicable law,
the Repurchase Price with respect to each such Transaction shall be increased
by the aggregate amount obtained by daily application of the Pricing Rate for
such Transaction to the Repurchase Price for such Transaction as of the

(decreased as of any day by (A) any amounts retained by Buyer with respect to
such Repurchase Price pursuant to clause (iii) of this subparagraph, (B) any
proceeds from the sale of Purchased Securities pursuant to subparagraph (d)(i)
of this paragraph, and (C) any amounts credited to the account of Seller
pursuant to subparagraph (e) of this paragraph) on a 360 day per year basis for
the actual number of days during the period from the date of the Event of
Default giving rise to such option to the date of payment of the Repurchase
Price as so increased, (iii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed
exercise shall be paid to Buyer and applied to the aggregate unpaid Repurchase
Prices owed by Seller, and (iv) Seller shall immediately deliver to Buyer any
Purchased Securities subject to such Transactions then in Seller's possession.

shall deliver all such Purchased Securities to Seller.
(d) After one business day's notice to the defaulting party (which
notice need not be given if an Act of Insolvency shall have occurred, and which
may be the notice given under subparagraph (a) of this paragraph or the notice
given under clause (ii) of the first sentence of this Paragraph), the
nondefaulting party may:
(i) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is Seller, (A)
immediately sell, in a recognized market at such price or prices as Buyer may
reasonably deem satisfactory, any or all Purchased Securities subject to such
Transactions and apply the proceeds thereof to the aggregate unpaid repurchase
Prices owing by Seller or (B) in its sole discretion elect, in lieu of selling
all or a portion of such Purchased Securities, to give Seller 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 Price;
and
(ii) as to Transactions in which the defaulting party is Buyer, (A)
purchase securities ("Replacement Securities") of the same class and amount as
any Purchased Securities that are not delivered by Buyer to Seller 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 bid quotation from such a source.
(e) As to Transactions in which the defaulting party is Buyer, Buyer
shall remain liable to Seller (i) with respect to Purchased Securities, for any
excess of the price paid (or deemed paid) by Seller for Replacement Securities
therefor over the Repurchase Price for such Purchased Securities and (ii) with
respect to Additional Purchased Securities, for the price paid (or deemed paid)
by Seller for the Replacement Securities therefor. In addition, Buyer shall be
liable to Seller for interest on such remaining liability with respect to each
such purchase (or
6
deemed purchase) until paid in full by Buyer. Such interest shall be at a rate
equal to the Pricing Rate.
(f) For purposes of this Paragraph 11, the Repurchase Price for each
Transaction hereunder in respect of which the defaulting party is Buyer shall

of its option under subparagraph (a) of this paragraph.
(g) The defaulting party shall be liable to the nondefaulting party
for the amount of all reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by the
nondefaulting party in connection with or as a consequence of an Event of
Default, together with interest thereon at a rate equal to the Pricing Rate.

contractual relationship and have been made in consideration of each other.
