Initiation;
Confirmation; Termination
|
|
|
(a)
|
|
An agreement to
enter into a Transaction may be made orally or in writing at the
initiation of either Buyer or Seller. On the Purchase Date for the
Transaction, the Securities shall be transferred to Buyer or its
agent against the transfer of the Purchase Price to an account of
Seller.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Upon agreeing
to enter into a Transaction hereunder, Buyer or Seller (or both),
as shall be agreed, shall promptly deliver to the other party a
written confirmation of each Transaction (a
“Confirmation”). The Confirmation shall describe the
Securities, identify Buyer and Seller and set forth (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, and (v) 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
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
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 business day on which such termination will be
effective. On the date specified in 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 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.
|
|
|
(a)
|
|
If at any time
the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to
all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Buyer is less than the aggregate Buyer’s Margin Amount for
all such Transactions (a “Margin Deficit”), then Buyer
may by notice to Seller require Seller in such Transactions, at
Seller’s option, to transfer to Buyer cash or additional
Securities reasonably acceptable to Buyer (“Additional
Purchased Securities”), so that the cash and aggregate Market
Value of the Purchased Securities, including any such Additional
Purchased Securities, will thereupon equal or exceed such aggregate
Buyer’s Margin Amount (decreased by the amount of any Margin
Deficit as of such date arising from any Transactions in which such
Buyer is acting as Seller).
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
If at any time
the aggregate Market Value of all Purchased Securities subject to
all Transactions in which a particular party hereto is acting as
Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount for all
such Transactions at such time (a “Margin Excess”),
then Seller may by notice to Buyer require Buyer in such
Transactions, at Buyer’s option, to transfer cash or
Purchased Securities to Seller, so that the aggregate Market Value
of the Purchased Securities, after deduction of any such cash or
any Purchased Securities so transferred, will thereupon not exceed
such aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount (increased by the
amount of any Margin Excess as of such date arising from any
Transactions in which the 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).
|
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.
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.
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.

|
|
Segregation
of 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.

(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.
|
Each
of Buyer and Seller represents and warrants to the other that
(i) it is duly authorized to execute and deliver this
Agreement, to enter into Transactions contemplated hereunder and to
perform its obligations hereunder and has taken all necessary
action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance,
(ii) it will engage in such Transactions as principal (or, if
agreed in writing, in the form of an annex hereto or otherwise, in
advance of any Transaction by the other party hereto, as agent for
a disclosed principal), (iii) the person signing this
Agreement on its behalf is duly authorized to do so on its behalf
(or on behalf of any such disclosed principal), (iv) it has
obtained all authorizations of any governmental body required in
connection with this Agreement and the Transactions hereunder and
such authorizations are in full force and effect and (v) the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the
Transactions hereunder will not violate any law, ordinance,
charter, by-law or rule applicable to it or any agreement by which
it is bound or by which any of its assets are affected. On the
Purchase Date for any Transaction Buyer and Seller shall each be
deemed to repeat all the foregoing representations made by
it.
In
the event that (i) Seller fails to transfer or Buyer fails to
purchase Securities upon the applicable Purchase Date,
(ii) Seller fails to repurchase or Buyer fails to transfer
Purchased Securities upon the applicable Repurchase Date,
(iii) Seller or Buyer fails to comply with Paragraph 4
hereof, (iv) Buyer fails, after one business day’s
notice, to comply with Paragraph 5 hereof, (v) an Act of
Insolvency occurs with respect to Seller or Buyer, (vi) any
representation made by Seller or Buyer shall have been incorrect or
untrue in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to
have been made or repeated, or (vii) Seller or Buyer shall
admit to the other its inability to, or its intention not to,
perform any of its obligations hereunder (each an “Event of
Default”):
|
|
(a)
|
|
The Buyer may,
at its option (which option shall be deemed to have been exercised
immediately upon the occurrence of an Act of Insolvency), declare
an Event of Default to have occurred hereunder and, upon the
exercise or deemed exercise of such option, the Repurchase Date for
each Transaction hereunder shall, if it has not already occurred,
be deemed immediately to occur (except that, in the event that the
Purchase Date for any Transaction has not yet occurred as of the
date of such exercise or deemed exercise, such Transaction shall be
deemed immediately canceled). The Buyer shall (except upon the
occurrence of an Act of Insolvency) give notice to the Seller of
the exercise of such option as promptly as practicable.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
In all
Transactions in which the Seller is acting as Seller, if the Buyer
exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in
subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, (i) the
Seller’s obligations in such Transactions to repurchase all
Purchased Securities, at the Repurchase Price therefor on the
Repurchase Date determined in accordance with subparagraph (a)
of this Paragraph, shall thereupon become immediately due and
payable, (ii) all Income paid after such exercise or deemed
exercise shall be retained by the Buyer and applied to the
aggregate unpaid Repurchase Prices and any other amounts owing by
the Seller hereunder, and (iii) the Seller shall immediately
deliver to the Buyer any Purchased Securities subject to such
Transactions then in the Seller’s possession or
control.

|
|
In all
Transactions in which the Seller is acting as Buyer, upon tender by
the Buyer of payment of the aggregate Repurchase Prices for all

to all Securities subject to such Transactions shall be deemed
transferred to the Buyer, and the Seller shall deliver all such
Purchased Securities to the Buyer.
|
|
|
(d)
|
|
If the Buyer
exercises or is deemed to have exercised the option referred to in
subparagraph (a) of this Paragraph, the Buyer, without prior
notice to the Seller, may:
|
|
|

|
|
as to
Transactions in which the Seller 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
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 and any other
amounts owing by the Seller hereunder or (B) in its sole
discretion elect, in lieu of selling all or a portion of such
Purchased Securities, to give the 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 Prices and any other amounts owing by the Seller
hereunder; and
|
|
|
(ii)
|
|
as to
Transactions in which the Seller 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
Buyer may reasonably deem satisfactory, securities
(“Replacement Securities”) of the same class and amount
as any Securities that are not delivered by the Seller to the Buyer
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
Asset, the Buyer 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 Seller is acting as Buyer, the Seller
shall be liable to the Buyer for any excess of the price paid (or
deemed paid) by the Buyer for Replacement Securities over the

amounts payable by the Seller 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 Seller is acting as Buyer shall

exercise by the Buyer of the option referred to in subparagraph
(a) of this Paragraph.
|
|
|
(g)
|
|

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)
|
|

rights hereunder. Interest on any sum payable by the Seller to the
Buyer under this Paragraph 11(h) shall be at a rate equal to the
greater of the Pricing Rate for the relevant Transaction or the

|
(i)
|
|
The Buyer shall
have, in addition to its rights hereunder, any rights otherwise
available to it under any other agreement or applicable
law.
|
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

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.

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.

|
Non-assignability; Termination
|
|
|
(a)
|
|
The rights and
obligations of the parties under this Agreement and under any
Transaction shall not be assigned by either party without the prior
written consent of the other party, and any such assignment without
the prior written consent of the other party shall be null and
void. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement and any Transactions
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties
and their respective successors and assigns. This Agreement may be
terminated by either party upon giving written notice to the other,
except that this Agreement shall, notwithstanding such notice,
remain applicable to any Transactions then outstanding.
|
|
|
(b)
|
|
Subparagraph
(a) of this Paragraph 15 shall not preclude a party from
assigning, charging or otherwise dealing with all or any part of
its interest in any sum payable to it under Paragraph 11
hereof.
|
This
Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York
without giving effect to the conflict of law principles
thereof.
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,

hereof will not constitute a waiver of any right to do so at a
later date.

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

depository institution,” as such term is defined in the

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

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

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
|
|
|
(c)
|
|
in the case of
Transactions in which one of the parties is a financial
institution, funds held by the financial institution pursuant to
the Transaction hereunder are not a deposit and therefore are not
insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or the
National Credit Union Share Insurance Fund, as
applicable.
