3.                                      INITIATION; CONFIRMATION; TERMINATION

5



 

FSAM under Section 11.2 of the Pledge and Administration Agreement in relation to which a Transaction is requested hereunder, and the related Purchased Security shall be concurrently transferred by Seller to an account specified by Buyer.

 

(b)                                 (i)                                     Seller (or the Collateral Agent or FSA as contemplated by (vi) below) may, from time to time, prior to the Facility Termination Date, request that Buyer enter into a Transaction with respect to one or more Eligible Securities.  Seller (or the Collateral Agent or FSA as contemplated by (vi) below) shall initiate each request by submitting a written request, which shall set forth (A) information identifying, and specifying the principal amount of, each Eligible Security to be sold to Buyer as Purchased Securities, (B) the Purchase Price in relation to such Purchased Securities based on the calculation thereof by the Collateral Agent, (C) a date not earlier than one (1) Business Day following, and not later than three (3) Business Days following, the effective date of such request as the proposed Purchase Date, (D) the Specified LIBOR Period for the relevant Transaction, (E) such date, if any, as Seller (or the Collateral Agent or FSA as contemplated by (vi) below) may elect to specify as a fixed date of termination of such Transaction (a “Repurchase Transaction Request”).  Each Repurchase Transaction Request shall be accompanied by the certificate described in clause (iii) below.  Except as provided in clauses (ii) and (vii) below, any such Repurchase Transaction Request shall be effective (x) on the Business Day made, if delivered to Buyer at or before 4:30 P.M., Paris time, (the “Notice Deadline”) on such Business Day, or (y) otherwise, on the Business Day immediately following the date of its delivery to the Buyer.  Each Repurchase Transaction Request shall be copied to the Collateral Agent at its address designated pursuant to Annex 2 to the Agreement.  Any Repurchase Transaction Request will be made by email or facsimile, return receipt requested, in accordance with the address information set forth in Annex 2.

 

(ii)                                  Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Accelerated Downgrade Liquidity Draw will be deemed to have been made on the day of the GIC Credit Event without regard to whether such GIC Credit Event occurred before or after close of business on that day.  The Buyer will be required to advance funds with respect to such Transaction by the Accelerated Downgrade Liquidity Draw Deadline, notwithstanding any failure of the Seller to comply with Paragraphs 3(b)(i), 3(e) and 8(b) in connection with such deemed request.  Without conditioning the obligations of the Buyer to provide funds under this paragraph, FSA shall provide notice of such GIC Credit Event on the date such event occurs.

 

(iii)                               At the time of any Repurchase Transaction Request, the Administrator (or if the Administrator has failed to make the relevant evaluation and comparisons, FSA) shall deliver a certificate to the Buyer, setting out the evaluation and comparison contemplated to be made by the Administrator under Sections 9.1 and 11.2(a) and (b) of the Pledge and Administration Agreement (and may also include any updates to such information) and stating that the proceeds of the relevant Transaction will be as contemplated by Paragraph 8(b) below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the proceeds of any Transaction give rise to a Dexia Reimbursement Payment, such portion of any Transaction shall be repaid promptly against delivery of the Purchased Securities related to such proceeds, together with any interest accrued thereon (but excluding any Additional Costs) and such repayment shall not be subject to the Subordinated Claims Payment Condition.

(iv)                              In making a Repurchase Transaction Request, Seller (or the Collateral Agent or FSA as contemplated by (vi) below) shall identify as Purchased Securities for the relevant Transaction securities that are not eligible to be posted as collateral under the FSA GIC Contracts (A) first, out of the Excluded Assets and Other Assets, the Best Available Eligible Securities based on the Securities Priority List as of the date of such Repurchase Transaction Request, with Seller (or the Collateral Agent or FSA as contemplated by (vi) below) identifying Eligible Securities lower on the Securities Priority List out of the Excluded Assets and Other Assets only as necessary to result in Seller’s obtaining the Purchase Price sought by Seller in requesting such Repurchase Transaction, and (B) second, out of the Put Portfolio Assets in the same manner as set forth in subclause (A).  Seller agrees to use good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Securities Priority List is updated from time to time to reflect the Best Available Eligible Securities (and which shall specify whether the securities are Excluded Assets and Other Assets, Put Portfolio Assets or assets that are eligible to be posted as collateral under the FSA GIC Contracts), and Buyer shall have the right to consult with Seller from time to time, as to whether the Securities Priority List accurately reflects the Best Available Eligible Securities.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, on any date on which the Liquidity Facility has been fully drawn, a Repurchase Transaction Request may be made in relation to any Best Available Eligible Securities that would not be required to meet currently applicable collateral posting requirements in relation to FSA GIC Contracts (or would be required only to meet collateral posting requirements in relation to FSA GIC Contracts for which FSAM may elect not to post collateral in accordance with Section 11.2 of the Pledge and Administration Agreement).

 

(v)                                 Each Repurchase Transaction Request shall constitute a “Confirmation” for purposes of the Base Agreement, which Confirmation, together with the Agreement, shall be conclusive evidence of the terms of the Transaction covered thereby unless objected to in writing by Buyer for manifest error no more than one (1) Business Day after the date such Confirmation is received by Buyer.  Each Confirmation shall be deemed incorporated herein by reference with the same effect as if set forth herein at length.  With respect to any Transaction, the Pricing Rate shall be determined initially as of the Pricing Rate Determination Date applicable to the first Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction, and shall be reset on each Reset Date for the next succeeding Pricing Rate Period for such Transaction.  Buyer or its agent shall determine in accordance with the terms of this Annex the Pricing Rate on each Pricing Rate Determination Date for the related Pricing Rate Period and notify Seller of such rate for such period on the Reset Date or Pricing Rate Determination Date with respect to the first Transaction.

 

(vi)                              In the event that FSA has given written notice to the Seller with a copy to the Buyer that (i) the Seller has failed to comply with the Seller’s obligation to deliver a Repurchase Transaction Request under this Annex as set forth in Section 11.2(b) of the Pledge and Administration Agreement by 4:30 P.M., Paris time, on any Business Day or that (ii) Senior Priority Payments cannot be paid on any Business Day and the Seller has not delivered a Repurchase Transaction Request as set forth in Section 11.2 of the Pledge and Administration Agreement in an amount equal to such unpaid Senior Priority Payments or the remaining amount available under the Facility Amount (if less) by 4:30 P.M., Paris time, then the Collateral Agent or FSA shall be authorized to deliver a Repurchase Transaction Request on behalf of the Seller, and

 

7



 

such Repurchase Transaction Request, if delivered no later than 4:30 P.M., Paris time, on the Business Day immediately following the Business Day on which the Seller fails to deliver a Repurchase Transaction Request, will be deemed to have been delivered by 4:30 P.M., Paris time, on the preceding Business Day and the Buyer shall advance funds with respect to such Transaction by 2:00 P.M., New York City time, on the Business Day following the failure by the Seller to make the request notwithstanding any failure of the Seller to comply with Paragraphs 3(b)(i) (with respect to the Notice Deadline), 3(e) and 8(b).  Any such request by the Collateral Agent or FSA must be accompanied by the certificate described in Paragraph 3(b)(iii).  In the event that a Dexia Event of Default has occurred and FSA has elected to become Secured Party Representative, the Collateral Agent or FSA shall be authorized to deliver a Repurchase Transaction Request on behalf of the Seller, and such request shall be effective hereunder as if made by the Seller.

 

(vii)                           If a Dexia Event of Default has occurred, the Seller (or the Collateral Agent or FSA as described in Paragraph 3(b)(vi)) is permitted to deliver a Repurchase Transaction Request, on or before the Termination Date, for a set of Transactions (a “Default Repo Termination Request”) with a Purchase Price in an aggregate amount that, together with any Default Termination Loan (as defined in the Liquidity Facility), does not exceed (A) the Exposure as calculated under the Credit Support Annex to the Dexia Guaranteed Put Contract (as most recently determined on or prior to the date of such Repurchase Transaction Request), provided that for such purpose the “GIC Business Costs Amount” shall be deemed increased by 25% minus (B) (x) the “Value” of all “Posted Collateral” held by the Collateral Agent under the Dexia CSAs (as such terms are defined in the relevant Dexia CSA and as most recently determined on or prior to the date of such Repurchase Transaction Request) plus (y) the cash proceeds of the liquidation of any FSAM Collateral which has been sold or liquidated in accordance with an exercise of creditor’s remedies by the Collateral Agent upon such Dexia Event of Default.  For the avoidance of doubt, the amount of any Default Repo Termination Request delivered by the Seller (or the Collateral Agent or FSA as described in (vi) above) shall not exceed the Unutilized Commitment at the time of the request.

 

(viii)                        If Seller, the Collateral Agent or FSA has effected a Liquidity Draw Offset (as defined in the Credit Support Annex to the Dexia Guaranteed Put Contract) in relation to any Purchase Price not yet paid by Buyer in relation to any Repurchase Transaction Request hereunder, the amount payable as Purchase Price to Seller in relation to such Transaction shall be reduced by the relevant Liquidity Draw Offset.”

 

Paragraph 3(c) of the Base Agreement is restated to read as follows:

 

“(c)                            On the earliest of (i) the date (if any) fixed for termination of a Transaction in the case of Transactions having a fixed term, (ii) any date which is the last day of a Pricing Rate Period in relation to the relevant Transaction and is elected by Seller upon not less than two (2) Business Days’ irrevocable prior written notice to Buyer to be the Repurchase Date for such Transaction, (iii) any date following a Dexia Event of Default on which funds are available for payments to Buyer subject to the Priority of Payments and satisfaction of the Subordinated Claims Payment Condition specified therein, and (iv) the date on which all of the FSA GIC Contracts are Paid in Full or terminated and there are no outstanding amounts owed by the Seller under the

 

8



 

FSAM Insurance Agreement, the Master Repurchase Agreement, or the Administrative Services Agreement, termination of the applicable Transaction will be effected by transfer to Seller or its agent of the Purchased 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.  Where clause (iii) of the foregoing sentence applies, Transactions shall be terminated in the reverse order of which they were initiated (on a “last in, first out” basis), and shall be terminated in part (with Buyer’s delivery of Purchased Securities and Income to be proportionally adjusted) to the extent that only a portion of the Repurchase Price would be available under the Priority of Payments and subject to the satisfaction of the Subordinated Claims Payment Condition specified therein.  Amounts received on a termination of a Transaction shall be applied in the order of priority set forth in Section 11.1(b)(viii) of the Pledge and Administration Agreement.

 

The following is deemed added to the Base Agreement as Paragraphs 3(d), (e), (f) and (g):

 

“(d)                           Either Buyer or Seller may also request a “delivery versus payment” settlement of amounts to be paid or delivered in relation to any Transaction on a Purchase Date or Repurchase Date.

 

(e)                                  The obligations of the Buyer to enter into and make settlement of a Transaction hereunder will be unconditional and subject only (except as provided in Paragraph 3(b)(ii)) to receipt of the Repurchase Transaction Request and the certificate described in Paragraph 3(b)(iii) within the time period contemplated thereby.

 

(f)                                    Without limitation of Paragraph 12(b) below, no breach by the Seller (or by the Collateral Agent, FSA any other party to the Pledge and Administration Agreement or any other person) of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of this Agreement, the Pledge and Administration Agreement, any other Transaction Document, or any other agreement described in or contemplated in the Purchase Agreement shall constitute a defense to or otherwise impair the obligation of the Buyer to enter into and make settlement of a Transaction hereunder in accordance with the terms and conditions described in Paragraph 3(e) above.

 

(g)                                 Notwithstanding Paragraph 3(f) above, the Buyer will be indemnified by the Seller for any losses incurred by it in connection with entering into or making settlement of any Transaction if the representations and warranties of the Seller are inaccurate or the Seller has breached its obligations under this Agreement to the Buyer, provided that any such indemnification or any other claim or recourse of the Buyer for a breach by the Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or other term or condition of this agreement (other than as set forth in Paragraph 3(e) above) will be payable only subject to the Priority of Payments and (without prejudice to any claims for Dexia Reimbursement Payments in accordance with the terms of the Pledge and Administration Agreement) satisfaction of the Subordinated Claims Payment Condition specified therein.”

4.                                      PERIODIC PRICE DIFFERENTIAL PAYMENTS; MARGIN PAYMENTS

 

(a)                                  On the last day of each Pricing Rate Period (or if such day is not a Business Day, the next following Business Day), Seller shall pay to Buyer, subject to the Priority of Payments and the satisfaction of the Subordinated Claims Payments Condition specified therein (other than with respect to Dexia Reimbursement Payments), in accordance with the account details specified in such Confirmation or such standing account details as may be agreed between Buyer and Seller from time to time, the accrued and unpaid Price Differential in relation to each Transaction and such Pricing Rate Period.  For purposes of calculating the accrued Price Differential relation to any Pricing Rate Period other than the initial Pricing Rate Period, the reference to “Purchase Date” in the definition of “Price Differential” shall be deemed to refer to the first day of such Pricing Rate Period.

 

(b)                                 For purposes of Paragraph 4(c) of the Base Agreement the words “such day” shall be replaced by “the next Business Day” and the words “the next business day following” shall be replaced by “the second Business Day following”.

 

(c)                                  For purposes of Paragraph 4(e), the minimum dollar amount of Margin Deficit which will give rise to obligations under Paragraph 4(a) and 4(b) is $5,000,000 in relation to all Transactions in the aggregate.  Paragraph 4(f) will not apply.

 

(d)                                 For the avoidance of doubt, payments of Margin Deficit by Seller under Paragraph 4(a) shall be subject to funds being available therefor under the Priority of Payments and subject to the satisfaction of the Subordinated Claims Payment Condition specified therein, provided, however, that such restriction shall not restrict Buyer’s rights under Paragraph 5 in relation to Income received on Purchased Securities.

 

(e)                                  For purposes of Paragraph 5, Income shall be credited by Buyer to the FSAM Cash Account not later than three Business Days following receipt of such Income by Buyer.

(a)                                  Seller is a limited liability company duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware, and has all requisite power and authority, corporate and otherwise, to conduct its business as now conducted and to own its properties.  Seller has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to incur its obligations provided for herein and therein, all of which have been duly authorized by all proper and necessary corporate action on the part of the Seller.  This Agreement has been duly executed and

 

10



 

delivered by the Seller and constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of the Seller, enforceable against the Seller in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be affected by bankruptcy, insolvency and other laws relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and by general principles of equity.

 

(b)                                 All consents and approvals of, and all notices to and filings with, any governmental entities or regulatory bodies required as a condition to the valid execution, delivery or performance by the Seller of this Agreement have been obtained or made.  Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof and thereof will conflict with, result in a breach of or constitute a default under (i) any of the terms, conditions or provisions of the limited liability company agreement of the Seller, (ii) any law, regulation or order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award of any court or governmental instrumentality or (iii) any agreement or instrument to which the Seller is a party or by which it is bound.

8.                                      COVENANTS

 

The Seller covenants and agrees that until after the Facility Termination Date and the later to occur of (i) the last Repurchase Date and (ii) the performance of all obligations of the Seller hereunder:

 

(a)                                  General Affirmative Covenants.  The Seller will maintain its existence as a limited liability company in good standing, will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders of any governmental authority noncompliance with which would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or operations or on its ability to meet its obligations hereunder, and will continue to engage in business of the same general type as that engaged in by the Seller on the date hereof.  The Seller will pay and discharge, at or before maturity, all its obligations and liabilities, including, without limitation, tax liabilities, where failure to satisfy such obligations or liabilities in the aggregate would have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, operations or ability to meet its obligations hereunder.

 

(b)                                 Use of Proceeds.  The proceeds of any Transaction may be used only (x) in the case of any Transaction other than a Transaction requested pursuant to a Default Repo Termination Request, to satisfy a scheduled or expected Senior Priority Payment identified by FSAM or FSA in accordance with the provisions Section 11.2(a) or (b) of the Pledge and Administration Agreement at or prior to the relevant Repurchase Transaction Request or (y) in the case of a Transaction requested pursuant to a Default Repo Termination Request, to be applied to Senior Priority Payments or to purchase Permitted Investments to be held by the Collateral Agent under the Pledge and Administration Agreement and subsequently applied to Senior Priority Payments.

 

(c)                                  Maintenance of Properties.  The Seller shall (a) maintain, preserve and protect all of its material properties and equipment necessary in the operation of its business in good working order and condition, ordinary wear and tear excepted; and (b) use the standard of care typical in the industry in the operation and maintenance of its facilities, except where the failure to do so could not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Seller.

 

(d)                                 Maintenance of Insurance.  The Seller shall maintain with financially sound and reputable insurance companies or with a captive insurance company that is an affiliate of the Seller as to which the Buyer may request reasonable evidence of financial responsibility, insurance with respect to its properties in such amounts with such deductibles and covering such risks as are customarily carried by companies engaged in similar businesses and owning similar properties in localities where the Seller or any of its subsidiaries operates.

 

9.                                      RETRANSFER TERMS

 

It is Seller’s intent to account for each Transaction hereunder as a secured financing under GAAP and/or IFRS.  Notwithstanding Paragraph 8 of the Base Agreement, Buyer agrees to use its good faith, commercially reasonable efforts to enter into any restriction on Buyer’s rights

 

13



 

under Paragraph 8 of the Base Agreement which Seller shall demonstrate, to be required in order for Seller to properly account for any Transaction as a secured borrowing.

 

10.                               TAXES, INCREASED COSTS

 

(a)                                  If, after the date of this Annex, the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law or in the interpretation or application thereof by any Governmental Authority or compliance by Buyer with any request or directive (whether or not having the force of law) from any central bank or other Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over Buyer made subsequent to the date hereof:

 

(i)                                     shall subject Buyer to any tax of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Agreement, any Purchased Security or any Transaction, or change the basis of taxation of payments to Buyer in respect thereof (except for changes in the rate of tax on Buyer’s overall net income);

 

(ii)                                  shall impose, modify or hold applicable any reserve, special deposit, compulsory loan or similar requirement against assets held by, deposits or other liabilities in or for the account of, advances, loans or other extensions of credit by, or any other acquisition of funds by, any office of Buyer; or

 

(iii)                               shall impose on Buyer any other condition due to the Agreement or the Transactions;

 

and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to Buyer of entering into, continuing or maintaining Transactions or to reduce any amount receivable under the Agreement in respect thereof; then, in any such case, Seller shall pay Buyer, within 30 days after written demand therefor is received by Seller, any additional amounts necessary to compensate Buyer for such increased cost payable or reduced amount receivable.  If Buyer becomes aware that it is entitled to claim any additional amounts pursuant to this Paragraph 10(a), it shall notify Seller in writing of the event by reason of which it has become so entitled within a reasonable period after Buyer becomes aware thereof.  A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such additional amounts, Buyer will act reasonably and in good faith.

 

This covenant shall survive the last Repurchase Date, and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Securities.

 

(b)                                 If Buyer shall have reasonably determined that the adoption of or any change in any Requirement of Law regarding capital adequacy or in the interpretation or application thereof or compliance by Buyer or any corporation controlling Buyer with any request or directive regarding capital adequacy (whether or not having the force of law) from any Governmental Authority made subsequent to the date hereof does have the effect of reducing the rate of return on Buyer’s or such corporation’s capital as a consequence of its obligations

 

14



 

hereunder to a level below that which Buyer or such corporation could have achieved but for such adoption, change or compliance (taking into consideration Buyer’s or such corporation’s policies with respect to capital adequacy) by an amount deemed by Buyer to be material, then, from time to time, within 30 days after submission by Buyer to Seller of a written request therefor, Seller shall pay to Buyer such additional amount or amounts as will compensate Buyer for such reduction.  A certificate as to the calculation of any additional amounts payable pursuant to this subsection shall be submitted by Buyer to Seller and shall be conclusive and binding upon Seller in the absence of manifest error.  In determining such additional amounts, Buyer will act reasonably and in good faith.  This covenant shall survive the Facility Termination Date, and the repurchase by Seller of any or all of the Purchased Securities.
