which a particular party hereto is actin, 0 as Seller exceeds the aggregate Seller’s Margin Amount

cised only where a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess, as the case may be, exceeds a specified do&u
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 ail Transactions hereunder, that the respective
rights of Buyer and Seller under subparagraphs (a) and (b) of this Paragraph to require the elimi-
nation of a Margin Deficit or a Mar,@ Excess, as the case may be, may be exercised whenever such
a Margin Deficit or a Margin Excess exists with respect to any single Transaction hereunder (caicu-
lated without regard to any other Transaction outstanding under this Agreement).
Income Payments
Seller shall be entitled to receive an amount equal to all Income paid or distributed on or in respect of
the Securities that is not otherwise received by Seller, to the full extent it would be so entitled if the

Transaction (or, in the absence of any such agreement, as Buyer shall reasonably determine in its dis-
cretion), on the date such Income is paid or distributed either (i) &ansfer to or aedit to the account of
Seller such Income with respect to any Purchased Securities subject to such Transaction or (i;> with
respect to Income paid in cash, apply the hcome payment or payments to reduce the amount, if any,
to be bansferred to Buyer by SeBer 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 Mar,ti Deficit, or (B) if an
Event of Default with respect to Seller has occurred and is then continuing at the time such Income is
paid or distributed.
6. Security Interest
Although the parties intend that all Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loan~, in
the event any such Transactions are deemed to be loans, Se&r shall be deemed to have pledged to
BuYa as security for the performance by SeI.Ier 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.

ferred 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.
8. Segregation of Purchased Securities ’
To the extent required by applicable law, all Purchased Securities in the possession of Seller shall be
segregated from other securities in its possession and shall be identified as subject to this Agreement.
Segregation may be accomplished by appropriate identification on the books and records of the holder,
including a financial or securities intermediary or a detig 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 Pur-
chased Securities, but no such transaction shall relieve Buyer of its obligations to transfer Purchased
Securities to Se&r 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.
7 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. Lf Buyer grants
the right to substitute, this means that Buyer’s securities will likely be commingled wit
Seller’s own securities during the tcading day. Buyer is advised that, during any tradin
day that Buyefs securities are commin gled with SeLIefs 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 a~
commingIed, Seller’s ability to resegregate substitute securities for Buyer will be subjec
to Seller’s ability to satisfy [the clearing]’ (any]** lien or to obtain substitute securities.

other than a financial institution.

(a) Seller may, subject to agreement with and acceptance by Buyer, substitute other Securities for any
Purchased Securities. Such substitution shall be made by martsfer 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.
@) 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;
pmuided, hummer, that such other Securities shall have a Market Value at least equal to the hfarket
Value of the Purchased Securities for which they are substituted.

the transfer of the Purchased Securities required to attain the Margin Value from Seller’s Account to Buyer’s
Account. On the Repurchase Date, with further instructions from Seller, Bank shall transfer the Purchased Securities from Buyer’s Account to Seller’s Account against the credit to Buyer’s Account of immediately available funds in an
amount specified by Seller which shall not be less than the Purchase Price and the debit of such amount from Seller’s
Account.
@> Bank shall be responsible for verifying that all Purchased Securities are Securities.
