(i) Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate that has granted a security interest in Mortgage Collateral may Transfer Mortgage Collateral to an Affiliate of Borrower that is a Pledging Affiliate provided that Borrower or such Pledging Affiliate first notifies FHLBank in writing of such Transfer.
(j) Borrower and any Pledging Affiliate that has granted a security interest in Mortgage Collateral may Transfer Mortgage Collateral to any person or entity that is not a Pledging Affiliate provided that FHLBank (i) first approves such Transfer in writing, (ii) is otherwise reasonably deemed to have approved such Transfer, or (iii) as further specified below:
If FHLBank has not directed delivery of the physical possession of Mortgage Collateral to FHLBank or its designee or notified Borrower in writing that Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate must obtain FHLBank’s written consent prior to effecting a Transfer of any loans included in Mortgage Collateral, Borrower or a Pledging Affiliate may Transfer Mortgage Collateral, as long as following such Transfer, the Qualifying Collateral has a Lendable Collateral Value equal to or greater than the Collateral Maintenance Requirement. In such event, (A) FHLBank shall be deemed to have approved such Transfer, and (B) Borrower or a Pledging Affiliate, as the case may be, need not notify FHLBank prior to effecting such Transfer.
13
(k) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to insure that (i) “all risk” property insurance covers any building or other property securing any obligation included in Mortgage Collateral in an amount equal to the replacement cost of such building, (ii) such other insurance as lenders in the vicinity of such building customarily require covers such building, (iii) all such insurance includes Borrower or the Pledging Affiliate, as the case may be, its successors and assigns, as loss payee under a standard mortgagee endorsement, and (iv) if FHLBank so directs, such insurance shall provide that the insurer may not cancel it without at least ten (10) days prior written notice to FHLBank. Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate may satisfy the foregoing insurance requirement with a blanket insurance policy containing such deductibles, limits of liability as FHLBank may approve in writing in advance and issued by an insurer as FHLBank may approve in writing in advance. Any insurer issuing such insurance must satisfy the standards that FHLBank may establish from time to time for such insurers. FHLBank may direct from time to time Borrower and any Pledging Affiliate to physically deliver the originals of such insurance to FHLBank or a collateral agent designated by FHLBank. If any such insurance required by this subsection lapses, FHLBank may obtain such insurance in its favor at Borrower’s expense and as an additional Obligation hereunder.
(l) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to pay any fees or expenses that FHLBank incurs in connection with reviewing, acquiring, evidencing, protecting, perfecting, evaluating or realizing on its security interest in Mortgage Collateral, including (without limitation) insurance premiums and the fees of attorneys, accountants, evaluation consultants, recording offices and collateral agents.
(m) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to originate and service all loans included in Mortgage Collateral in accordance with all Applicable Laws, including without limitation those relating to predatory or high cost lending or abusive loan practices.
(n) Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to enforce the payment provisions of all mortgage loans included in Mortgage Collateral, including collecting all amounts specified thereunder when due.
8. PAYMENT . Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to, pay FHLBank any and all costs that FHLBank may incur in exercising its rights under this Agreement or entering this Agreement, including reasonable attorney fees. Such costs may include those related to the receipt, holding, redelivery, and reassignment of Collateral, recording fees, and the expenses and disbursements of any custodian, consultant, or appraiser or otherwise as noted in Section 7 above. If any payment is due to FHLBank pursuant to this Agreement, (i) FHLBank may debit Borrower’s DDA to satisfy such payments and (ii) Borrower may set off such amount that is due to FHLBank against any amount whatsoever that FHLBank may owe Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate (including, without limitation, proceeds of the repurchase of FHLBank stock owned by such Borrower or Pledging Affiliate).
9. DESTRUCTION OF NOTES; LOST NOTES . (a) If Borrower, any Pledging Affiliate, or any holder has destroyed any promissory note or other document that constitutes a part of Mortgage Collateral or does so in the future, Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate to, notify FHLBank of such destruction. No Mortgage Collateral with respect to which any holder of the note or any other document that comprises or represents such Collateral, including Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate, may constitute Qualifying Collateral
14
unless FHLBank approves such Mortgage Collateral as Qualifying Collateral. Borrower shall not and shall not permit its Pledging Affiliates to destroy any notes or other documents included in Mortgage Collateral with a view to substituting electronic images for such documents unless FHLBank shall have approved the same in writing in advance. FHLBank may elect to treat any such Mortgage Collateral as Collateral that is not Qualifying Collateral or impose on such Collateral a higher Collateral Maintenance Requirement than similar Mortgage Collateral with respect to which such notes or other documents comprising or representing it have not been destroyed.
(b) If Borrower or any Pledging Affiliate has lost any note or other document that constitutes a part of Mortgage Collateral, Borrower or such Pledging Affiliate shall provide FHLBank an affidavit satisfactory to FHLBank concerning the circumstances of such loss.
10. INDEMNITY . Borrower shall, and shall cause each Pledging Affiliate, to indemnify FHLBank, defend with counsel acceptable to FHLBank, and hold FHLBank harmless from and against all losses, damages, claims, causes of action, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and litigation expenses, that FHLBank suffers, pays, or incurs as a result of any of the following:

(ii) Applicable Laws impose liability on FHLBank as a result of its holding a security interest on or becoming the owner of any item of Mortgage Collateral, including (without limitation) any liability related to a release of a Hazardous Material at property that is security for any part of the Mortgage Collateral;
