With respect to any Custodian other than the MPF Custodian that is acting as such for the Pittsburgh Bank, the MPF Provider, upon the request of the Pittsburgh Bank, will provide to the Pittsburgh Bank a summary report of any audits of such Custodian performed directly or through a vendor, by the MPF Provider.

5.2. Services of the Master Servicer.

(v) To notify the Pittsburgh Bank in the event a Servicer has materially or consistently defaulted under the Servicing Agreement or Servicing Guide and to advise the Pittsburgh Bank of its recommended response to the default;

(vi) To maintain or cause the Master Servicer to maintain customary fidelity and other insurance in connection with the performance of the obligations under the Master Servicing Agreement, and, upon request of the Pittsburgh Bank, to

In accordance with the Clearing Account agreement between the MPF Provider and the Pittsburgh Bank, the MPF Provider will credit to the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account interest on the outstanding balance thereof from time to time in accordance with the Clearing Account agreement, at the rate of interest paid by the MPF Provider to all MPF Banks under the MPF Program, as the same is published in the FHLB Guide from time to time (the “MPF Bank Rate”). Until such time as the MPF Bank Rate is published in the FHLB Guide, the MPF Bank Rate, for any day, shall be equal to the MPF Provider’s Fed Funds Rate for that day less 5 basis points (0.05%). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Fed Funds Rate” shall mean, for any day, a rate equal to the weighted average rate the MPF Provider earns on its overnight investments in the federal funds market, determined as of the close of business for that day. In the event that any withdrawal from the Pittsburgh Bank’s Clearing Account shall cause the balance in such account to become negative, such deficit shall be deemed a loan from the MPF Provider to the Pittsburgh Bank, payable upon demand and bearing interest at a the rate charged by the MPF Provider to all MPF Banks under the MPF Program, as the same is published in the FHLB Guide from time to time (the “MPF Bank Default Rate”). Until such time as the MPF Bank Default Rate is published in the FHLB Guide, the MPF Bank Default Rate, for any day, shall be equal to the MPF Bank Rate for that day plus 200 basis points (2.0%).

5.12. Relationship of the Parties; Restrictions on Transfers. (a) The MPF Provider or its designee will hold the Loan Documents pertaining to the Pittsburgh Bank Program Loans in the same manner as it holds Loan Documents pertaining to its own Program Loans. The Pittsburgh Bank will receive and hold all receipts and collections with respect to the Program Loans funded through or purchased from the Pittsburgh Bank PFIs, for the benefit of itself, the MPF Provider and any other Participants who may invest therein, in accordance with their respective interests in the Loans. Except to the extent of its obligations under Section 5.1, the MPF Provider shall have no fiduciary duty to the

Pittsburgh Bank. Except to the extent of its obligations under Sections 6.4.1. and 7.3., the Pittsburgh Bank shall have no fiduciary duty to the MPF Provider.

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Pittsburgh Bank agrees that it will not sell or transfer any of its interests in Program Loans or its rights under this Agreement, or any portion of any thereof, except (i) to another FHLB or member of the FHLB System, (ii) to an institutional third party investor approved of in writing by the MPF Provider, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, or (iii) to the PFIs providing the credit enhancement for such Program Loans, provided, however, servicing must be provided by a PFI or an MPF Program approved Servicer, and the Pittsburgh Bank shall continue to monitor the creditworthiness of its PFIs and, when appropriate to protect the interests of the holders of the Program Loans, demand and hold collateral to secure any of its PFIs’ obligations under their respective PFI Agreements. The MPF Provider will continue to provide reports defined by Master Commitment.

(c) Participation Shares in the Program Loans whether previously acquired by the MPF Provider pursuant to the Prior Services Agreement or acquired by any MPF Bank during the term of this Agreement shall be pursuant to and governed by the terms of the LOMPA.

5.13. Memo Spread Account/First Loss Account Allocations. The MPF Provider and the Pittsburgh Bank shall each maintain their own respective loan loss reserves with respect to the Program Loans. The Spread Account/First Loss Account for each Master Commitment (which is memorandum account used for tracking purposes) will be allocated between the parties as provided for in the LOMPA.

5.14. Rescission of Payments. The LOMPA shall govern the situation where all or part of any payment of Loan Recoveries or other amounts paid to the Pittsburgh Bank is rescinded or must otherwise be returned for any reason.

5.15. Product Development. The MPF Program Provider shall accept submissions from the Pittsburgh Bank, itself or in conjunction with other MPF Banks, for new products to be offered under the MPF Program, as provided for in the FHLB Guide.

(d) Without limiting the rights of the MPF Provider and any other MPF Bank under the LOMPA, the Servicing Transfer Agreements, and the Custody Addendum, the MPF Provider shall not have an interest in any (i) other property taken as security for any other credit, loan or financial accommodation made or furnished to any PFI by the Pittsburgh Bank in which the MPF Provider has no financial interest; (ii) property now or hereafter in the Pittsburgh Bank’s possession or under the Pittsburgh Bank’s control other than by reason of any PFI Agreement; or (iii) deposits or other indebtedness which may be or might become security for performance or payment of any obligations and liabilities of any PFI under the PFI Agreement by reason of the general description contained in any instrument other than the PFI Agreement held by the Pittsburgh Bank or by reason of any right of setoff, counterclaim, banker’s lien or otherwise. If, however, such property, deposit, indebtedness or the proceeds thereof shall actually be applied to the payment or reduction of principal, interests, fees, commissions or any other amounts owing by any PFI in connection with any Program Loan or any participation interest therein

which the Pittsburgh Bank shall have sold to the MPF Provider, then the MPF Provider shall be entitled to such application with respect to such Loan.

7.4. Costs of Enforcement.

Neither party nor any of its shareholders, directors, officers, employees or agents shall be liable to the other for any obligation, undertaking, act or judgment of any Borrower, any PFI, any guarantor or any other person, or be bound to ascertain or inquire as to the performance or observance by any PFI of any provision of any PFI Agreement, Master Commitment, the Guides, any Loan or any of the Loan Documents.

APPENDIX A
custody addendum to
Mortgage Partnership Finance^®
INVESTMENT AND SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS CUSTODY ADDENDUM TO INVESTMENT AND SERVICES AGREEMENT (the “Custody Addendum”) is made as of the 30th day of April, 2006 between the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF CHICAGO (the “MPF^® Provider”) and the FEDERAL HOME LOAN BANK OF PITTSBURGH (the “MPF Bank”).

RECITALS:

WHEREAS, the MPF Bank and the MPF Provider are concurrently entering into the Mortgage Partnership Finance Investment and Services Agreement of even date herewith (the “I&S Agreement”) pursuant to which the parties agreed, among other things, to make the Mortgage Partnership Finance Program available to members of the MPF Bank; and

WHEREAS, the MPF Provider is the custodian for the MPF Bank under the terms of the I&S Agreement and has engaged a vendor to perform its custodial duties thereunder, which vendor is named as the MPF Program Custodian (the “MPF Custodian”) in the Guides; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to facilitate members of the MPF Bank that are participating financial institutions in the MPF Program (individually, “Subject PFI” and collectively, the “Subject PFIs”), that may from time to time request the MPF Bank to permit an entity other than the MPF Custodian (as applicable to each Subject PFI, the “Custodian”) to serve as custodian for required loan document files (the “Collateral Files”) for those Mortgages which the Subject PFI will deliver to or service for the MPF Bank (the “Subject Mortgages”) under the PFI Agreement between the Subject PFI and the MPF Bank (the “Subject PFI Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, pursuant to the FHLB Guide, the MPF Bank will submit a request or notice (the “Custodian Request”) advising the MPF Provider that (i) the Subject PFI has requested permission to use the Custodian for the Collateral Files for the Subject Mortgages, and (ii) the MPF Bank is granting permission to the Subject PFI, if the Custodian is approved by the MPF Provider, to use the Custodian for the Collateral Files for the Subject Mortgages; and

WHEREAS, upon the MPF Provider’s approval of such Custodian’s MPF Custodian Application, the MPF Provider (i) will notify the Subject PFI of the approval of its request and ask the Subject PFI to sign an acknowledgment (“Custodian Acknowledgement”) that after the date specified in such notice, the Guides require the Subject PFI to be responsible for the payment of the Custodian’s fees as well as for the performance by the Custodian of its custodial obligations, and (ii) subject to the Subject PFI’s signing the Custodian Acknowledgement, will engage the Custodian as a vendor pursuant to a Custody Agreement (the “Custody Agreement”) to perform the MPF Provider’s obligations as Custodian for the Collateral Files. Any capitalized terms used but not defined in this Custody Addendum shall have the meaning assigned to them in the I&S Agreement or the Subject PFI Agreement, as applicable.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. The MPF Bank must provide the MPF Provider with a Custodian Request with respect to a Subject PFI and its requested Custodian before the MPF Provider will execute a Custody Agreement with the Custodian.

2. Following its review and approval of the Custodian’s MPF Custodian Application, the MPF Provider shall notify the Subject PFI of the approval of its request for the Custodian to serve as custodian for the Collateral Files subject to the Subject PFI signing the Custodian Acknowledgement which, among other provisions, shall require the Subject PFI to acknowledge: (a) that a breach by the Custodian of the Custody Agreement shall constitute a breach by the Subject PFI of the Subject PFI Agreement, and (b) that the obligations of the Custodian under the Custody Agreement shall be secured in the same manner as all PFI obligations arising under the Subject PFI Agreement. The

MPF Provider shall provide the MPF Bank with a copy of its notice to the Subject PFI and, upon receipt by the MPF Provider, a copy of the Custodian Acknowledgement when signed by the Subject PFI.

3 The MPF Provider and MPF Bank agree and acknowledge that the terms and conditions of this Custody Addendum will be extended to each and every Subject PFI for which a separate Custodian Request is submitted to the MPF Provider by the MPF Bank, upon the PFI’s signing and causing the Custodian Acknowledgement to be returned to the MPF Provider with respect to the Custodian selected by the Subject PFI.

4. If the MPF Bank determines for any reason that the Custodian selected by a Subject PFI should not continue to serve as an approved MPF custodian, the MPF Bank may request that the Custodian’s custodial duties be terminated, but in any event will provide the MPF Provider with relevant information. The MPF Provider will terminate the Custody Agreement with respect to any Subject Mortgages upon receipt of such request. In the event the Custody Agreement is terminated by the MPF Provider solely because of the request of the MPF Bank, the MPF Bank will reimburse the MPF Provider for any actual out-of-pocket costs which the MPF Provider may incur as a result of such termination for which the MPF Provider is not made whole by the Custodian.

5. The MPF Bank agrees that with respect to each Subject PFI, should a custody default as determined by the MPF Provider occur with respect to the Subject Mortgages due to a breach of the Custodian’s obligations under the Custody Agreement, the MPF Bank shall first enforce the terms of the Subject PFI Agreement with respect to such breach of the Custody Agreement. The MPF Bank shall pursue such enforcement efforts in the same manner and with the same diligence as it would exercise for any obligation of the Subject PFI to the MPF Bank. Although the MPF Bank is not required to exhaust all available remedies, its enforcement effort should include the most appropriate of the full range of remedies available under the Subject PFI Agreement which include, without limitation, realizing upon collateral pledged by the Subject PFI. In the event that such enforcement efforts do not result in full recovery, the MPF Bank shall look to the MPF Provider for indemnification with respect to a default by the Custodian, and the MPF Provider shall remain liable to the MPF Bank for such indemnification under the I&S Agreement (as amended by this Custody Addendum)

6.
