Item 1.01. Entry into a Definitive Material Agreement.

On August 29, 2013, Radian Guaranty Inc. (“Radian Guaranty”), the principal mortgage insurance subsidiary of Radian Group Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “MTA”) with Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (“Freddie Mac” and, together with Radian Guaranty, the “Parties”) related to a group of 25,760 first-lien mortgage loans held by Freddie Mac that are insured by Radian Guaranty and were in default as of December 31, 2011 (the “Subject Loans”). Radian Guaranty has paid claims and, where appropriate, has exercised rights under the insurance policies covering these loans (the “Master Policies”) to deny and curtail claims and rescind or cancel coverage (collectively, “Loss Mitigation Activity”) with respect to a portion of these Subject Loans. The Parties expect that Radian Guaranty will pay additional claims and for additional Loss Mitigation Activity to take place with respect to a portion of these Subject Loans in the future. As further described below, the MTA provides for the future treatment of the Subject Loans with respect to claim payments, Loss Mitigation Activity, the termination of insurance coverage (other than as a result of Loss Mitigation Activity) and other matters. The MTA was not the result of any dispute between the Parties with respect to the Subject Loans.

With respect to the 25,760 Subject Loans, as of July 31, 2013, approximately $370 million of claims had been paid and the amount of Loss Mitigation Activity on the Subject Loans that had become final in accordance with the MTA was approximately $10 million. In addition, as of July 31, 2013, an additional approximately $140 million of Loss Mitigation Activity had occurred, but was not yet considered final in accordance with the MTA. Of the Subject Loans, as of July 31, 2013, approximately 4,856 loans were re-performing ( i.e. , no longer in default), and approximately 9,756 loans remained in our defaulted portfolio.

Pursuant to the MTA, at the closing of the transaction on August 29, 2013, under the MTA:

 

  (a) In connection with future claim payments on the Subject Loans, Radian Guaranty paid to Freddie Mac $255 million (the “Closing Date Payment”). The Closing Date Payment represents $625 million, less $370 million in respect of claims Radian Guaranty previously paid on the Subject Loans as of July 12, 2013 (the “Cut-off Date”); and

 

  (b) In connection with future Loss Mitigation Activity on the Subject Loans, Radian Guaranty deposited into a collateral account (the “Collateral Account”) $205 million (the “Initial Collateral Amount”). The Initial Collateral Amount represents $215 million, less the amount of Loss Mitigation Activity on the Subject Loans that is considered final by the terms of the MTA through the Cut-off Date. For purposes of the MTA, Loss Mitigation Activity is calculated as (i) the amount of policy coverage under the Subject Loans that Radian Guaranty rescinded or cancelled in accordance with the terms of the applicable Master Policy and (ii) the amount of policy claims submitted under the Subject Loans that Radian Guaranty denied or curtailed in accordance with the terms of the applicable Master Policy.


Pursuant to the MTA, Radian Guaranty has agreed to administer all claims submitted with respect to the Subject Loans in accordance with (i) the terms of the applicable Master Policy, (ii) in a manner consistent with Radian Guaranty’s claims handling practices utilized by Radian Guaranty in the ordinary course for its insured loans other than the Subject Loans as in effect at the time such claims are processed, and (iii) in a manner similar to actions taken by Radian Guaranty in similar cases.

On the terms set forth in the MTA, the transaction caps Radian Guaranty’s total exposure with respect to the Subject Loans (including Subject Loans that currently are re-performing) to $840 million, including claims paid prior to the Cut-off Date. Radian Guaranty has no additional claim exposure on the Subject Loans, regardless of whether the ultimate amount of total claims paid on the Subject Loans would have been greater or less than that amount. Amounts in the Collateral Account will be released to either Radian Guaranty or Freddie Mac, depending on the amount of future Loss Mitigation Activity on the Subject Loans, in accordance with the following:

 

  (i) After August 29, 2015, amounts in the Collateral Account may be released to Radian Guaranty from time to time to the extent of Loss Mitigation Activity that has become final through such measurement dates as are set forth in the MTA. The Initial Collateral Amount less the amount of Loss Mitigation Activity that has become final under the MTA is referred to as the “Remaining Coverage Amount.” The Remaining Coverage Amount represents Radian Guaranty’s remaining payment obligation to Freddie Mac under the Subject Loans. The Remaining Coverage Amount will decrease to the extent that Loss Mitigation Activity after the Cut-off Date becomes final in accordance with the terms of the MTA.

 

  (ii) At any time after August 29, 2015, Radian Guaranty has the option (the “Early Termination Option”) to conclude the transactions under the MTA by paying to Freddie Mac an amount equal to the then Remaining Coverage Amount.

 

  (iii) On August 29, 2017 (the “Year Four Settlement Date”), Radian Guaranty will be required to make a final payment to Freddie Mac equal to the then Remaining Coverage Amount, if any, subject to certain adjustments designed to allow for any Loss Mitigation Activity that has not become final or any claims evaluation that has not been completed as of that date (“Remaining Pending Claims”).

Radian Guaranty has granted Freddie Mac a security interest in the Collateral Account and all securities on deposit therein, in order to secure certain of Radian Guaranty’s obligations to pay to Freddie Mac any Remaining Coverage Amount due under the terms of the MTA.

The transactions under the MTA will conclude on the earliest to occur of the following dates (such earliest date, the “General Certificate Cancellation Date”): (x) the Year Four Settlement Date, (y) the date that the Remaining Coverage Amount is reduced to $0 (but in any event, not before August 29, 2015) and (z) the date upon which Radian Guaranty exercises its


Early Termination Option. Radian Guaranty’s insurance on the Subject Loans (other than in respect of Subject Loans that are subject to Remaining Pending Claims and Returned Loans (as defined below)) will remain in effect until the General Certificate Cancellation Date or earlier in accordance with the applicable Master Policy. Following the General Certificate Cancellation Date, Radian Guaranty has agreed to continue administering Remaining Pending Claims until such claims have been finally resolved.

In the event that any of the Subject Loans are repurchased by a seller/servicer from Freddie Mac in accordance with the applicable purchase contract and/or servicing agreement prior to the General Certificate Cancellation Date, other than as a result of Loss Mitigation Activity (the “Returned Loans”), the certificates of insurance with respect to such Returned Loans shall remain in effect in accordance with the applicable Master Policy and Freddie Mac shall pay to Radian Guaranty an amount equal to any claims paid by Radian Guaranty in respect of such Returned Loans.

The above description of the MTA does not purport to be a complete description of the MTA and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MTA which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Section 4.2 Collateral Account .

(a) Until the Termination Date, Radian agrees to maintain the Collateral Account in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, the Security Agreement, and the Control Agreement. Unless and until a Notice of Exclusive Control has been delivered to the Securities Intermediary in accordance with Section 4.2(c) :

(i) Radian shall have the sole authority to invest and/or reinvest from time to time all Account Collateral ( e.g. , sell, exchange or redeem all property in the Collateral Account); provided , however , that Radian agrees that it will invest and/or reinvest the Account Collateral solely in Liquid Assets;

(ii) Radian shall be entitled from time to time to withdraw from the Collateral Account and retain all Distributions credited to the Collateral Account;

(iii) Radian shall be entitled to withdraw from the Collateral Account and retain any Account Collateral; provided , however , that Radian shall have deposited or caused to be deposited in the Collateral Account prior to any such withdrawal Liquid Assets with a Market Value not less than the Market Value of the Account Collateral to be so withdrawn (each determined as of the close of business on the Business Day prior to such withdrawal); and

(iv) The above actions or authority shall not invalidate or otherwise impact or interfere with Freddie Mac’s perfected security interest in the Collateral Account.

(b) Within 15 Business Days following each Valuation Date, Radian shall provide Freddie Mac with a schedule (each, a Collateral Statement ) setting forth (i) a calculation of the Remaining Coverage Amount and (ii) all Account Collateral in the Collateral Account (including the Market Value for each item of Account Collateral), each as of the Valuation Time on such Valuation Date.

14


first deposited in the Collateral Account shall be taken into account when calculating the Market Value of the Account Collateral under this Section 4.2(b)(ii) on any Specified Valuation Date.

Section 4.3 Finality and Calculation of Remaining Coverage Amount .

(a) For purposes of calculating the Initial Collateral Amount or the Remaining Coverage Amount or the existence of any Remaining Pending Claim on the General Certificate Cancellation Date, except as provided in Section 4.3(d) below, a cancellation of coverage under a Certificate of Insurance in respect of an Eligible Loan, a Claim denial or Curtailment in respect of an Eligible Loan, or a rescission of coverage under a Certificate of Insurance in respect of an Eligible Loan shall be considered final at such time as:

(i) in the case of a cancellation of coverage under a Certificate of Insurance, one (1) year has elapsed since the delivery of Radian’s notice of such cancellation; provided , however , that (x) if Radian shall have received written notice of an initial objection to such cancellation during such one (1) year period, then any period of time during which Radian evaluates such objection before responding thereto shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating such one (1) year period and (y) if the objection during the one (1) year period following the delivery of Radian’s notice of cancellation is in the form of a legal proceeding (i.e., a litigation or alternative dispute resolution proceeding in an appropriate forum) instituted by or against Radian (each such legal proceeding, a “ Claim Proceeding ”), then such cancellation shall be considered final upon the final resolution of such Claim Proceeding (each such cancellation considered final in accordance with this clause (i) (or in accordance with clause (iv) below, as applicable) being a “ Final Cancellation ”);

 

15


(ii) in the case of a denial of a Claim (whether in full or in part as a result of a Curtailment), one (1) year has elapsed since the delivery of Radian’s notice of denial of such Claim or the delivery of Radian’s notice that a claim payment has been processed and reduced in respect of such Claim. Curtailment in respect of such Claim; provided , however , that (x) if Radian shall have received written notice of an initial objection to such Claim denial or Curtailment during such one (1) year period, then any period of time during which Radian evaluates such objection before responding thereto shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating such one (1) year period and (y) if the objection during the one (1) year period following the delivery of Radian’s notice of denial or Curtailment of such Claim is in the form of a Claim Proceeding, then such Claim denial or Curtailment shall be considered final upon the final resolution of such Claim Proceeding (each such Claim denial and Curtailment considered final in accordance with this clause (ii) (or in accordance with clause (iv) below, as applicable) being a “ Final Denial ” or “ Final Curtailment ,” as the case may be);

(iii) in the case of a rescission of coverage under a Certificate of Insurance, two (2) years have elapsed since the delivery of Radian’s notice of such rescission; provided , however , that (x) if Radian shall have received written notice of an initial objection to such rescission during such two (2) year period, then any period of time during which Radian evaluates such objection before responding thereto shall be disregarded for purposes of calculating such two (2) year period and (y) if the objection during the two (2) year period following the delivery of Radian’s notice of rescission is in the form of a Claim Proceeding, then such rescission shall be considered final upon the final resolution of such Claim Proceeding (each such rescission considered final in accordance with this clause (iii) (or in accordance with clause (iv) below, as applicable) being a “ Final Rescission ”); and

(iv) if the applicable Servicer of a Subject Loan or Returned Loan shall have agreed in writing to such rescission, cancellation, Curtailment or denial prior to the expiration of the applicable period described above in this Section 4.3(a) , then such rescission, cancellation, Curtailment or denial shall be considered a Final Rescission, Final Cancellation, Final Denial or Final Curtailment (as the case may be) at such earlier time.

(b) For purposes of calculating the Remaining Coverage Amount, the value of any rescission, cancellation or denial shall equal (x) the aggregate amount of the submitted Claim multiplied by (y) the coverage percentage set forth in the applicable Certificate of Insurance for such Subject Loan.

(c) Radian shall not be permitted to enter into any Bulk Settlement without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac (each a “ Bulk Settlement Consent ”), any such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The terms of any Bulk Settlement Consent shall specify how such Bulk Settlement shall be treated under this Agreement, which, in any event, shall be consistent with the economic terms of the Bulk Settlement. For purposes of this Agreement, “ Bulk Settlement ” means any settlement agreed to

 

16


between Radian and a Servicer with Freddie Mac’s consent pursuant to which Radian agrees to pay a specified amount in aggregate in order to resolve Claims in respect of ten (10) or more Subject Loans (it being understood that a Bulk Settlement may be entered into with respect to a universe of mortgage loans (which may include Subject Loans and other mortgage loans) prior to or after the submission of some or all of the claims (including Claims) with respect thereto). For the avoidance of doubt, references in this Section 4.3(c) to “pay” as they pertain to Subject Loans shall not be interpreted to mean that Radian is obligated to make any payment to Freddie Mac or any other Person in respect of a Bulk Settlement.

(d) The Parties acknowledge and agree that (i) prior to the Cutoff Date, Radian has either cancelled or rescinded coverage under Certificates of Insurance, or denied or curtailed Claims, in respect of the Subject Loans set forth on Schedule 4.3(d) of the Letter Agreement (the Designated Loans ) and (ii) but for the terms and provisions of this Section 4.3(d) , as of the Cutoff Date, each such cancellation or rescission would be considered a Final Cancellation or Final Rescission, as applicable, and each such denial or Curtailment would be considered a Final Denial or Final Curtailment. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Parties agree that for purposes of the calculating the Initial Collateral Amount or the Remaining Coverage Amount each such cancellation or rescission of coverage under Certificates of Insurance in respect of the Designated Loans, and each such denial or Curtailment in respect of the Designated Loans, shall not be deemed final as of the Cutoff Date but shall instead be deemed a Final Cancellation, a Final Rescission, a Final Denial or a Final Curtailment (as the case may be) effective upon the earlier of (i) June 30, 2014; and (ii) (x) other than in the case of a Bulk Settlement with regard to Designated Loans, the date that Radian notifies Freddie Mac that such cancellation, rescission, denial or Curtailment is final and (y) in the case of a settlement with regard to Designated Loans which would constitute a Bulk Settlement, the date, if any, of the related Bulk Settlement Consent; provided that Radian shall request Freddie Mac’s consent to such Bulk Settlement not later than sixty (60) days prior June 30, 2014.

Section 4.4 Claims Review Standards .

(a) Radian shall deem valid, deny, cancel, rescind or otherwise administer (collectively, “ Administer ”), as applicable, all Certificates of Insurance in respect of the Subject Loans and Returned Loans, and all Claims submitted in respect of the Subject Loans and the Returned Loans, in accordance with the Claims Review Standards. Radian shall only be required to Administer Claims in respect of the Subject Loans if such Claims are submitted prior to the General Certificate Cancellation Date, but shall be required to Administer all Claims submitted in respect of the Returned Loans regardless when such Claims are submitted.

(b) The Claims Review Standards shall be applied such that Radian shall Administer all Claims hereunder (a) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Policy (including accepting for evaluation appeals and objections from sellers and servicers with regard to rescissions and cancellations of Certificates of Insurance and denials and Curtailments of Claims in accordance with the terms of the applicable Policy), (b) in a

 

17


manner consistent with Radian’s claims handling practices utilized by Radian in the ordinary course for its insured loans other than the Subject Loans and the Returned Loans at the time such Claim is processed, and (c) in a manner similar to actions taken by Radian in similar cases. If, following the Closing Date, Radian changes its claims handling practices in the ordinary course and without intent to differentiate or discriminate between the Subject Loans or the Returned Loans, on the one hand, and its other insured loans, on the other hand, then Radian shall be entitled to apply such changed claims handling practices to the Subject Loans and the Returned Loans and such practices shall be deemed included within the Claims Review Standards; provided , however , that Radian shall provide Freddie Mac with notice of any material changes to its claims handling practices.

(c) Following the General Certificate Cancellation Date, Radian shall be required to continue to Administer each Remaining Pending Claim in accordance with the Claims Review Standards until such Remaining Pending Claim has become subject to a Final Rescission, Final Curtailment, Final Cancellation, or Final Denial, or has been deemed valid by Radian in accordance with the Claims Review Standards; provided that Radian shall have no liability or other obligation to Freddie Mac arising out of such Remaining Pending Claim, except (i) to the extent provided in Section 4.1(b) and (ii) the obligation to Administer such Remaining Pending Claim in accordance with the Claims Review Standards. Freddie Mac agrees to reimburse Radian for (i) all reasonable documented out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by Radian in connection with, and (ii) an allocation of Radian’s labor, overhead and general costs and expenses allocable to, the performance by Radian of its obligations to Administer the Remaining Pending Claims under this Section 4.4(c) . The costs and expenses reimbursable pursuant to clause (ii) of the preceding sentence shall be determined as set forth on Schedule 4.4(c) of this Agreement, as increased by three percent (3%) annually. All amounts due under this Section 4.4(c) shall be payable no later than 30 days after written demand therefor by Radian to Freddie Mac. The aggregate amount payable by Freddie Mac under this Section 4.4(c) shall not exceed $1,000,000.

(d) Freddie Mac, at its own expense, shall have the right during the term of this Agreement, upon reasonable prior notice and subject to all site-based rules, to review and audit Radian’s performance of its obligation to Administer the Claims under this Agreement in order to verify that Radian performed such obligations in accordance with the Claims Review Standards. Any disagreement between the Parties as to whether Radian performed its obligations to Administer the Claims under this Agreement in accordance with the Claims Review Standards shall be submitted to the Third Party Evaluator for a final determination of that issue. Fees and costs for a final determination by the Third Party Evaluator pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid by the Party whose position was not adopted by the Third Party Evaluator. Each Party agrees to execute an engagement letter with the Third Party Evaluator on mutually acceptable terms, provided that the engagement letter shall include an agreement by the Third Party Evaluator, on terms reasonably acceptable to each Party, to keep confidential all information the Third Party Evaluator receives or produces pursuant to the engagement.

(a) At any time after August 29, 2015, Radian may elect to extinguish and discharge all remaining liability with respect to the Subject Loans by paying to Freddie Mac, by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Specified Secured Party Account, an amount equal to the then-current Remaining Coverage Amount (the “ Early Termination Payment ”). Effective upon the payment of the Early Termination Payment, Radian shall have no further liability to Freddie Mac with respect to the Subject Loans, except any responsibility to perform the duties set forth in Sections 4.4(c) , 4.4(d) , and 4.6. For the avoidance of doubt, the early termination right under this Section 4.5(a) shall be available to Radian and any successor of Radian (including any liquidator, receiver or statutory successor of Radian). Neither Radian nor any such successor shall have any obligation to provide any prior notice to Freddie Mac before exercising such right, except that if Radian or such successor does not provide such notice to Freddie Mac before exercising such right, then it will provide such notice promptly thereafter.

(b) Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, the Certificate of Insurance (and the corresponding insurance coverage) with respect to each Subject Loan (other than (x) Subject Loans that are the subject of Remaining Pending Claims, which shall be governed by Section 4.5(c) and not this Section 4.5(b) and (y) Subject Loans that become Returned Loans, which shall be governed by Section 4.6 and not this Section 4.5(b)) shall automatically cancel and be of no further force or effect upon the earliest to occur of (i) the date of Radian’s delivery of a notice with respect to (x) the cancellation or rescission of coverage under a Certificate of Insurance in respect of such Subject Loan, in accordance with Radian’s then-existing practice or (y) the denial or that a claim payment has been processed and reduced in respect of a Claim with respect to such Subject Loan, in accordance with Radian’s then-existing practice and (ii) the General Certificate Cancellation Date and (iii) a Disposition of such Subject Loan. For the avoidance of doubt, the cancellation of Certificates of Insurance as described in this Section 4.5(b) is not relevant for and shall have no effect on the calculation of the Initial Collateral Amount or the Remaining Coverage Amount or with respect to the determination of whether there are Remaining Pending Claims which, in each case, are governed by the terms of Section 4.3.

(c) In the case of any Certificate of Insurance that relates to a Subject Loan that is the subject of a Remaining Pending Claim as of the General Certificate Cancellation Date, such Certificate of Insurance shall automatically cancel and be of no further force or effect as the date of Radian’s delivery of a notice with respect to (x) the cancellation or rescission of coverage under such Certificate of Insurance, in accordance with Radian’s then-existing practice or (y) the denial or that a claim payment has been processed and reduced in respect of a Claim with respect to such Subject Loan, in accordance with Radian’s then-existing practice; provided , that, without limitation of the foregoing, Radian’s liability to Freddie Mac, if any, with respect to the Remaining Pending Claims shall be as provided in Section 4.1 (b) and Section 4.4.

 

19


(d) If any Subject Loan is assigned, sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of (each of the foregoing, a Disposition ) for any reason on or prior to the General Certificate Cancellation Date such that Freddie Mac is no longer the owner of such Subject Loan, and such Disposition does not result in such Subject Loan becoming a Returned Loan, then the applicable Certificate of Insurance shall automatically cancel and be of no further force or effect, such cancellation to be effective immediately upon the completion of such Disposition, at which time Radian shall have no further liability arising out of such Subject Loan.

Section 4.6 Treatment of Returned Loans .

(a) Radian hereby agrees to treat the applicable repurchaser of a Returned Loan as the “Insured” under the applicable Policy with respect to such Returned Loan effective as of the time at which the repurchase by the loan seller and/or current servicer of the related Eligible Loan has been completed.

(a) Subject to the terms below, Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to rely upon any Written Instructions actually received by Securities Intermediary and reasonably believed by Securities Intermediary to be duly authorized and delivered.

(b) If Securities Intermediary receives Written Instructions which appear on their face to have been transmitted via (i) computer facsimile, email, the Internet or other insecure electronic method, or (ii) secure electronic transmission containing applicable authorization codes, passwords and/or authentication keys, Secured Party and Pledgor each understands and agrees that Securities Intermediary cannot determine the identity of the actual sender of such Written Instructions and that Securities Intermediary shall conclusively presume that such Written Instructions have been sent by an Authorized Person.

(d) If Secured Party or Pledgor elects to transmit Written Instructions through an on-line communication system offered by Securities Intermediary, its use thereof shall be subject to the Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Appendix II.

Under no circumstances shall Securities Intermediary be liable for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by Pledgor or Secured Party as a result of errors or omissions with respect to any pricing or other information utilized by Securities Intermediary hereunder.

13. No Implied Duties . Securities Intermediary shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against Securities Intermediary in connection with this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement shall require the Securities Intermediary to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial liability in the performance of any of its duties hereunder, or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or adequate indemnity against such risk or liability is not reasonably assured to it.

ELECTRONIC SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1. License; Use . (a) This Appendix II shall govern Customer’s use of electronic communications, information delivery, portfolio management and banking services, that The Bank of New York Mellon and its affiliates (“BNYM”) may provide to Customer, such as The Bank of New York Mellon Inform ™ and The Bank of New York Mellon CA$H-Register Plus ® , and any computer software, proprietary data and documentation provided by BNYM to Customer in connection therewith (collectively, the “Electronic Services” ). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Appendix II and the main body of this Agreement with respect to Customer’s use of the Electronic Services, the terms of this Appendix II shall control.

(b) BNYM grants to Customer a personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive license to use the Electronic Services to which Customer subscribes solely for the purpose of transmitting instructions and information (“Written Instructions”), obtaining reports, analyses and statements and other information and data, making inquiries and otherwise communicating with BNYM in connection with the Customer’s relationship with BNYM. Customer shall use the Electronic Services solely for its own internal and proper business purposes and not in the operation of a service bureau. Except as set forth herein, no license or right of any kind is granted to Customer with respect to the Electronic Services. Customer acknowledges that BNYM and its suppliers retain and have title and exclusive proprietary rights to the Electronic Services, including any trade secrets or other ideas, concepts, know-how, methodologies, and information incorporated therein and the exclusive rights to any copyrights, trade dress, look and feel, trademarks and patents (including registrations and applications for registration of either), and other legal protections available in respect thereof. Customer further acknowledges that all or a part of the Electronic Services may be copyrighted or trademarked (or a registration or claim made therefor) by BNYM or its suppliers. Customer shall not take any action with respect to the Electronic Services inconsistent with the foregoing acknowledgments, nor shall Customer attempt to decompile, reverse engineer or modify the Electronic Services. Customer may not copy, distribute, sell, lease or provide, directly or indirectly, the Electronic Services or any portion thereof to any other person or entity without BNYM’s prior written consent. Customer may not remove any statutory copyright notice or other notice included in the Electronic Services. Customer shall reproduce any such notice on any reproduction of any portion of the Electronic Services and shall add any statutory copyright notice or other notice upon BNYM’s request.

(c) Portions of the Electronic Services may contain, deliver or rely on data supplied by third parties (“Third Party Data”), such as pricing data and indicative data, and services supplied by third parties (“Third Party Services”) such as analytic and accounting services. Third Party Data and Third Party Services supplied hereunder are obtained from sources that BNYM believes to be reliable but are provided without any independent investigation by BNYM. BNYM and its suppliers do not represent or warrant that the Third Party Data or Third Party Services are correct, complete or current. Third Party Data and Third Party Services are proprietary to their suppliers, are provided solely for Customer’s internal use, and may not be reused, disseminated or redistributed in any form. Customer shall not use any Third Party Data in any manner that would act as a substitute for obtaining a license for the data directly from the supplier. Third Party Data and Third Party Services should not be used in making any investment decision. BNYM AND ITS SUPPLIERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THIRD PARTY DATA OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES. BNYM’s suppliers of Third Party Data and Services are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1(c) and Section 5 below.

(d) Customer understands and agrees that any links in the Electronic Services to Internet sites may be to sites sponsored and maintained by third parties. BNYM make no guarantees, representations or warranties concerning the information contained in any third party site (including without limitation that such information is correct, current, complete or free of viruses or other contamination), or any products or services sold through third party sites. All such links to third party Internet sites are provided solely as a convenience to Customer and Customer accesses and uses such sites at its own risk. A link in the Electronic Services to a third party site does not constitute BNYM’s endorsement, authorisation or sponsorship of such site or any products and services available from such site.

2. Equipment . Customer shall obtain and maintain at its own cost and expense all equipment and services, including but not limited to communications services, necessary for it to utilize and obtain access to the Electronic Services, and BNYM shall not be responsible for the reliability or availability of any such equipment or services.

3. Proprietary Information . The Electronic Services, and any proprietary data (including Third Party Data), processes, software, information and documentation made available to Customer (other than which are or become part of the public domain or are legally required to be made available to the public) (collectively, the “Information”), are the exclusive and confidential property of BNYM or its suppliers. However, for the avoidance of doubt, reports generated by Customer containing information relating to its account(s) (except for Third Party Data contained therein) are not deemed to be within the meaning of the term “Information.” Customer shall keep the Information confidential by using the same care and discretion that Customer uses with respect to its own confidential property and trade secrets, but not less than reasonable care. Upon termination of the Agreement or the licenses granted herein for any reason, Customer shall return to BNYM any and all copies of the Information which are in its possession or under its control (except that Customer may retain reports containing Third Party Data, provided that such Third Party Data remains subject to the provisions of this Appendix). The provisions of this Section 3 shall not affect the copyright status of any of the Information which may be copyrighted and shall apply to all information whether or not copyrighted.

4. Modifications . BNYM reserves the right to modify the Electronic Services from time to time. Customer agrees not to modify or attempt to modify the Electronic Services without BNYM’s prior written consent. Customer acknowledges that any modifications to the Electronic Services, whether by Customer or BNYM and whether with or without BNYM’s consent, shall become the property of BNYM.

5. NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY . BNYM AND ITS MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES OR ANY THIRD PARTY DATA OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR IN LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED


TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES, THIRD PARTY DATA AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.” TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BNYM OR ANY SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, WHICH CUSTOMER MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES, THIRD PARTY DATA OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES, EVEN IF BNYM OR SUCH SUPPLIER KNEW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL BNYM OR ANY SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ACTS OF GOD, MACHINE OR COMPUTER BREAKDOWN OR MALFUNCTION, INTERRUPTION OR MALFUNCTION OF COMMUNICATION FACILITIES, LABOR DIFFICULTIES OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR CAUSE BEYOND THEIR REASONABLE CONTROL.

6. Security; Reliance; Unauthorized Use; Funds Transfers . BNYM will establish security procedures to be followed in connection with the use of the Electronic Services, and Customer agrees to comply with the security procedures. Customer understands and agrees that the security procedures are intended to determine whether instructions received by BNYM through the Electronic Services are authorized but are not (unless otherwise specified in writing) intended to detect any errors contained in such instructions. Customer will cause all persons utilizing the Electronic Services to treat any user and authorization codes, passwords, authentication keys and other security devices with the highest degree of care and confidentiality. Upon termination of Customer’s use of the Electronic Services, Customer shall return to BNYM any security devices (e.g., token cards) provided by BNYM. BNYM is hereby irrevocably authorized to comply with and rely upon on Written Instructions and other communications, whether or not authorized, received by it through the Electronic Services. Customer acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for ensuring that only Authorized Persons use the Electronic Services and that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law BNYM shall not be responsible nor liable for any unauthorized use thereof or for any losses sustained by Customer arising from or in connection with the use of the Electronic Services or BNYM’s reliance upon and compliance with Written Instructions and other communications received through the Electronic Services. With respect to instructions for a transfer of funds issued through the Electronic Services, when instructed to credit or pay a party by both name and a unique numeric or alpha-numeric identifier (e.g. ABA number or account number), the BNYM, its affiliates, and any other bank participating in the funds transfer, may rely solely on the unique identifier, even if it identifies a party different than the party named. Such reliance on a unique identifier shall apply to beneficiaries named in such instructions as well as any financial institution which is designated in such instructions to act as an intermediary in a funds transfer. It is understood and agreed that unless otherwise specifically provided herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall be bound by the rules of any funds transfer system utilized to effect a funds transfer hereunder.

7. Acknowledgments . BNYM shall acknowledge through the Electronic Services its receipt of each Written Instruction communicated through the Electronic Services, and in the absence of such acknowledgment BNYM shall not be liable for any failure to act in accordance with such Written Instruction and Customer may not claim that such Written Instruction was received by BNYM. BNYM may in its discretion decline to act upon any instructions or communications that are insufficient or incomplete or are not received by BNYM in sufficient time for BNYM to act upon, or in accordance with such instructions or communications.

8. Viruses . Customer agrees to use reasonable efforts to prevent the transmission through the Electronic Services of any software or file which contains any viruses, worms, harmful component or corrupted data and agrees not to use any device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Electronic Services.

9. Encryption . Customer acknowledges and agrees that encryption may not be available for every communication through the Electronic Services, or for all data. Customer agrees that BNYM may deactivate any encryption features at any time, without notice or liability to Customer, for the purpose of maintaining, repairing or troubleshooting its systems.

10. On-Line Inquiry and Modification of Records . In connection with Customer’s use of the Electronic Services, BNYM may, at Customer’s request, permit Customer to enter data directly into a BNYM database for the purpose of modifying certain information maintained by BNYM’s systems, including, but not limited to, change of address information. To the extent that Customer is granted such access, Customer agrees to indemnify and hold BNYM harmless from all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense (including attorney’s fees and expenses) to which BNYM may be subjected or which may be incurred in connection with any claim which may arise out of or as a result of changes to BNYM database records initiated by Customer.

11. Agents. Customer may, on advance written notice to the BNYM, permit its agents and contractors (“Agents”) to access and use the Electronic Services on Customer’s behalf, except that the BNYM reserves the right to prohibit Customer’s use of any particular Agent for any reason. Customer shall require its Agent(s) to agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the Agreement, and Customer shall be liable and responsible for any act or omission of such Agent in the same manner, and to the same extent, as though such act or omission were that of Customer. Each submission of a Written Instruction or other communication by the Agent through the Electronic Services shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Customer that the Agent continues to be duly authorized by the Customer to so act on its behalf and the BNYM may rely on the representations and warranties made herein in complying with such Written Instruction or communication. Any Written Instruction or other communication through the Electronic Services by an Agent shall be deemed that of Customer, and Customer shall be bound thereby whether or not authorized. Customer may, subject to the terms of this Agreement and upon advance written notice to the Bank, provide a copy of the Electronic Service user manuals to its Agent if the Agent requires such copies to use the Electronic Services on Customer’s behalf. Upon cessation of any such Agent’s services, Customer shall promptly terminate such Agent’s access to the Electronic Services, retrieve from the Agent any copies of the manuals and destroy them, and retrieve from the Agent any token cards or other security devices provided by BNYM and return them to BNYM.


APPENDIX III

GLOBAL CUSTODY TERMS AND CONDITIONS

ARTICLE I

CUSTODY AND RELATED SERVICES

1. (a) Subject to these Global Custody Terms and Conditions, Pledgor hereby authorizes Securities Intermediary to hold any Securities received by it from time to time for Pledgor’s account. Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to utilize Depositories and Subcustodians to the extent possible in connection with its performance hereunder. Securities and cash deposited by Securities Intermediary in a Depository will be held subject to the rules, terms and conditions of such Depository. Securities and cash held through Subcustodians shall be held subject to the terms and conditions of Securities Intermediary’s agreements with such Subcustodians. Subcustodians may be authorized to hold Securities in central securities depositories or clearing agencies in which such Subcustodians participate. Unless otherwise required by local law or practice or a particular subcustodian agreement, Securities deposited with Subcustodians will be held in a commingled account in the name of Securities Intermediary as custodian or trustee for its customers. Securities Intermediary shall identify on its books and records the Securities and cash belonging to Pledgor, whether held directly or indirectly through Depositories or Subcustodians.

(b) Unless applicable law otherwise requires, Securities Intermediary shall hold Securities indirectly through a Subcustodian only if (i) the Securities are not subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of such Subcustodian or its creditors, including a receiver or trustee in bankruptcy or similar authority, except for a claim of payment for the safe custody or administration of Securities or for funds advanced on behalf of Pledgor by such Subcustodian, and (ii) beneficial ownership of the Securities is freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration.

2. Securities Intermediary shall furnish Pledgor with an advice of daily transactions and a monthly summary of all transfers to or from the Accounts. Pledgor may elect to receive advices, confirmations, reports or statements electronically through the Internet to an email address specified by it for such purpose. By electing to use the Internet for this purpose, Pledgor acknowledges that such transmissions are not encrypted and therefore are insecure. Pledgor further acknowledges that there are other risks inherent in communicating through the Internet such as the possibility of virus contamination and disruptions in service, and agrees that Securities Intermediary shall not be responsible for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred by Pledgor or any person claiming by or through Pledgor as a result of the use of such methods.

3. With respect to all Securities held hereunder, Securities Intermediary shall, unless otherwise instructed to the contrary:

(a) Receive all income and other payments and advise Pledgor as promptly as practicable of any such amounts due but not paid;

(b) Present for payment and receive the amount paid upon all Securities which may mature and advise Pledgor as promptly as practicable of any such amounts due but not paid;

(c) Forward to Pledgor all information or documents that it may receive from an issuer of Securities which, in the opinion of Securities Intermediary, are intended for the beneficial owner of Securities;

(d) Execute, as custodian, any certificates of ownership, affidavits, declarations or other certificates under any tax laws now or hereafter in effect in connection with the collection of bond and note coupons;

(e) Hold directly or through a Depository or Subcustodian all rights and similar Securities issued with respect to any Securities credited to an Account hereunder; and

(f) Endorse for collection checks, drafts or other negotiable instruments.

4. (a) Securities Intermediary shall notify Pledgor of such rights or discretionary actions or of the date or dates by when such rights must be exercised or such action must be taken provided that Securities Intermediary has received, from the issuer or the relevant Depository (with respect to Securities issued in the United States) or from the relevant Subcustodian, Depository or a nationally or internationally recognized bond or corporate action service to which Securities Intermediary subscribes, timely notice of such rights or discretionary corporate action or of the date or dates such rights must be exercised or such action must be taken. Absent actual receipt of such notice, Securities Intermediary shall have no liability for failing to so notify Pledgor.

(b) Whenever Securities (including, but not limited to, warrants, options, tenders, options to tender or non-mandatory puts or calls) confer optional rights on Pledgor or provide for discretionary action or alternative courses of action by Pledgor, Pledgor shall be responsible for making any decisions relating thereto and for directing Securities Intermediary to act. In order for Securities Intermediary to act, it must receive Pledgor’s Written Instructions at Securities Intermediary’s offices, addressed as Securities Intermediary may from time to time request, not later than noon at least two (2) Business Days prior to the last scheduled date to act with respect to such Securities (or such earlier date or time as Securities Intermediary may notify Pledgor). Absent Securities Intermediary’s timely receipt of such Written Instructions, Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for failure to take any action relating to or to exercise any rights conferred by such Securities. As used herein the term Business Day shall mean any day on which Securities Intermediary and the relevant Subcustodians and Depositories are open for business.

5. Securities Intermediary will make available to Pledgor proxy voting services upon the request of, and for the jurisdictions selected by, Pledgor in accordance with terms and conditions to be mutually agreed upon by Securities Intermediary and Pledgor.

6. Securities Intermediary shall promptly advise Pledgor upon its notification of the partial redemption, partial payment or other action affecting less than all Securities of the relevant class. If Securities Intermediary, any Subcustodian or Depository holds any such Securities in which Pledgor has an interest as part of a fungible mass, Securities Intermediary, such Subcustodian or Depository may select the Securities to participate in such partial redemption, partial payment or other action in any non-discriminatory manner that it customarily uses to make such selection.

7. Securities Intermediary shall not under any circumstances accept bearer interest coupons which have been stripped from United States federal, state or local government or agency securities unless explicitly agreed to by Securities Intermediary in writing.


8. Pledgor shall be liable for all taxes, assessments, duties and other governmental charges, including any interest or penalty with respect thereto (“Taxes”), with respect to any cash or Securities held on behalf of Pledgor or any transaction related thereto. Pledgor shall indemnify Securities Intermediary and each Subcustodian for the amount of any Tax that Securities Intermediary, any such Subcustodian or any other withholding agent is required under applicable laws (whether by assessment or otherwise) to pay on behalf of, or in respect of income earned by or payments or distributions made to or for the account of Pledgor (including any payment of Tax required by reason of an earlier failure to withhold). Securities Intermediary shall, or shall instruct the applicable Subcustodian or other withholding agent to, withhold the amount of any Tax which is required to be withheld under applicable law upon collection of any dividend, interest or other distribution made with respect to any Security and any proceeds or income from the sale, loan or other transfer of any Security. In the event that Securities Intermediary or any Subcustodian is required under applicable law to pay any Tax on behalf of Pledgor, Securities Intermediary is hereby authorized to withdraw cash from any cash account in the amount required to pay such Tax and to use such cash, or to remit such cash to the appropriate Subcustodian, for the timely payment of such Tax in the manner required by applicable law. If the aggregate amount of cash in all cash accounts is not sufficient to pay such Tax, Securities Intermediary shall promptly notify Pledgor of the additional amount of cash (in the appropriate currency) required, and Pledgor shall directly deposit such additional amount in the appropriate cash account promptly after receipt of such notice, for use by Securities Intermediary as specified herein. In the event that Securities Intermediary reasonably believes that Pledgor is eligible, pursuant to applicable law or to the provisions of any tax treaty, for a reduced rate of, or exemption from, any Tax which is otherwise required to be withheld or paid on behalf of Pledgor under any applicable law, Securities Intermediary shall, or shall instruct the applicable Subcustodian or withholding agent to, either withhold or pay such Tax at such reduced rate or refrain from withholding or paying such Tax, as appropriate; provided that Securities Intermediary shall have received from Pledgor all documentary evidence of residence or other qualification for such reduced rate or exemption required to be received under such applicable law or treaty. In the event that Securities Intermediary reasonably believes that a reduced rate of, or exemption from, any Tax is obtainable only by means of an application for refund, Securities Intermediary and the applicable Subcustodian shall have no responsibility for the accuracy or validity of any forms or documentation provided by Pledgor to Securities Intermediary hereunder. Pledgor hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Securities Intermediary and each Subcustodian in respect of any liability arising from any underwithholding or underpayment of any Tax which results from the inaccuracy or invalidity of any such forms or other documentation, and such obligation to indemnify shall be a continuing obligation of Pledgor, its successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of these Global Custody Terms and Conditions.

9. (a) For the purpose of settling Securities and foreign exchange transactions, Pledgor shall provide Securities Intermediary with sufficient immediately available funds for all transactions by such time and date as conditions in the relevant market dictate. As used herein, “sufficient immediately available funds” shall mean either (i) sufficient cash denominated in the currency of Pledgor’s home jurisdiction to purchase the necessary foreign currency, or (ii) sufficient applicable foreign currency to settle the transaction. Securities Intermediary shall provide Pledgor with immediately available funds each day which result from the actual settlement of all sale transactions, based upon advices received by Securities Intermediary from its Subcustodians and Depositories. Such funds shall be in the currency of Pledgor’s home jurisdiction or such other currency as Pledgor may specify to Securities Intermediary.

(b) Any foreign exchange transaction effected by Securities Intermediary in connection with these Global Custody Terms and Conditions may be entered with Securities Intermediary or an affiliate of Securities Intermediary acting as principal or otherwise through customary banking channels. Pledgor may issue standing Written Instructions with respect to foreign exchange transactions but Securities Intermediary may establish rules or limitations concerning any foreign exchange facility made available to Pledgor. Pledgor shall bear all risks of investing in Securities or holding cash denominated in a foreign currency. Without limiting the foregoing, Pledgor shall bear the risks that rules or procedures imposed by Depositories, exchange controls, asset freezes or other laws, rules, regulations or orders shall prohibit or impose burdens or costs on the transfer to, by or for the account of Pledgor of Securities or cash held outside Pledgor’s jurisdiction or denominated in a currency other than its home jurisdiction or the conversion of cash from one currency into another currency. Securities Intermediary shall not be obligated to substitute another currency for a currency whose transferability, convertibility or availability has been affected by such law, regulation, rule or procedure. Neither Securities Intermediary nor any Subcustodian shall be liable to Pledgor for any loss resulting from any of the foregoing events.

10. To the extent Securities Intermediary has agreed to provide pricing or other information services in connection with these Global Custody Terms and Conditions, Securities Intermediary is authorized to utilize any vendor (including brokers and dealers of Securities) reasonably believed by Securities Intermediary to be reliable to provide such information. Pledgor understands that certain pricing information with respect to complex financial instruments ( e.g. , derivatives) may be based on calculated amounts rather than actual market transactions and may not reflect actual market values, and that the variance between such calculated amounts and actual market values may or may not be material. Where vendors do not provide information for particular Securities or other property, an Authorized Person may advise Securities Intermediary regarding the fair market value of, or provide other information with respect to, such Securities or property as determined by it in good faith. Securities Intermediary shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense incurred as a result of errors or omissions with respect to any pricing or other information utilized by Securities Intermediary hereunder.

11. As an accommodation to Pledgor, Securities Intermediary may provide consolidated recordkeeping services pursuant to which Securities Intermediary reflects on Account statements Securities not held in Securities Intermediary’s vault or for which Securities Intermediary or its nominee is not the registered owner (“Non-Custody Securities”). Non-Custody Securities shall be designated on Securities Intermediary’s books as “shares not held” or by other similar characterization. Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that it shall have no security entitlement against Securities Intermediary with respect to Non-Custody Securities, that Securities Intermediary shall rely, without independent verification, on information provided by Pledgor regarding Non-Custody Securities (including but not limited to positions and market valuations) and that Securities Intermediary shall have no responsibility whatsoever with respect to Non-Custody Securities or the accuracy of any information maintained on Securities Intermediary’s books or set forth on account statements concerning Non-Custody Securities.

12. From time to time Securities Intermediary may make available to Pledgor or its agent(s) certain computer programs, products, services, reports or information (including, without limitation, information obtained by Securities Intermediary from third parties and information reflecting Securities Intermediary’s input, evaluation and interpretation (collectively, “Tools”). Tools may allow Pledgor or its agent(s) to perform certain analytic, accounting, compliance, reconciliation and other functions with respect to the Account. By way of example, Tools may assist Pledgor or its agent(s) in analyzing the performance of investment managers appointed by Pledgor, determining on a post-trade basis whether transactions for the Account comply with Pledgor’s investment guidelines, evaluating assets at risk, and performing account reconciliations. Tools may be used only for Pledgor’s internal purposes, and may not be resold, redistributed or otherwise made available to third parties. Tools are the sole and exclusive property of Securities Intermediary and its suppliers. Pledgor may not reverse engineer or decompile any computer programs provided by the Securities Intermediary comprising, or provided as a part of, any Tools. Information supplied by third parties may be incorrect or incomplete, and any information, reports, analytics or other services supplied by Securities Intermediary that rely on information from third parties may also be incorrect or incomplete. All Tools are provided “AS IS”, whether or not they are modified to meet specific needs of Pledgor and regardless of whether Securities Intermediary is compensated by Pledgor for providing such Tools. CUSTODIAN DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE TOOLS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ANYTHING IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS TO THE CONTRARY NOTWITHSTANDING, CUSTODIAN AND ITS SUPPLIERS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS, COST, EXPENSE, DAMAGE, LIABILITY OR CLAIM SUFFERED OR INCURRED BY CUSTOMER, ITS AGENT(S) OR ANY OTHER PERSON AS A RESULT OF USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR RELIANCE UPON ANY TOOLS.


13. With respect to Securities issued in the United States, the Shareholders Communications Act of 1985 (the “Act”) requires Securities Intermediary to disclose to the issuers, upon their request, the name, address and securities position of its customers who are (a) the “beneficial owners” (as defined in the Act) of the issuer’s Securities, if the beneficial owner does not object to such disclosure, or (b) acting as a “respondent bank” (as defined in the Act) with respect to the Securities. (Under the Act, “respondent banks” do not have the option of objecting to such disclosure upon the issuers’ request.) The Act defines a “beneficial owner” as any person who has, or shares, the power to vote a security (pursuant to an agreement or otherwise), or who directs the voting of a security. The Act defines a “respondent bank” as any bank, association or other entity that exercises fiduciary powers which holds securities on behalf of beneficial owners and deposits such securities for safekeeping with a bank, such as Securities Intermediary. Under the Act, Pledgor is either the “beneficial owner” or a “respondent bank.”

 

¨ Pledgor is the “beneficial owner,” as defined in the Act, of the Securities to be held by Securities Intermediary hereunder.

 

¨ Pledgor is not the beneficial owner of the Securities to be held by Securities Intermediary, but is acting as a “respondent bank,” as defined in the Act, with respect to the Securities to be held by Securities Intermediary hereunder.

IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, CUSTODIAN SHALL ASSUME THAT CUSTOMER IS THE BENEFICIAL OWNER OF THE SECURITIES.

For beneficial owners of the Securities only :

 

¨ Pledgor objects

 

¨ Pledgor does not object

to the disclosure of its name, address and securities position to any issuer which requests such information pursuant to the Act for the specific purpose of direct communications between such issuer and Pledgor.

IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, CUSTODIAN SHALL RELEASE SUCH INFORMATION UNTIL IT RECEIVES A CONTRARY WRITTEN INSTRUCTION FROM CUSTOMER.

With respect to Securities issued outside of the United States, information shall be released to issuers only if required by law or regulation of the particular country in which the Securities are located.

Securities Intermediary shall account for all purchases and sales of Securities on the actual settlement date unless otherwise agreed by Securities Intermediary.

2. Pledgor understands that when Securities Intermediary is instructed to deliver Securities against payment, delivery of such Securities and receipt of payment therefor may not be completed simultaneously. Pledgor assumes full responsibility for all credit risks involved in connection with Securities Intermediary’s delivery of Securities pursuant to instructions of Pledgor.

3. Securities Intermediary may, as a matter of bookkeeping convenience or by separate agreement with Pledgor, credit the Account with the proceeds from the sale, redemption or other disposition of Securities or interest, dividends or other distributions payable on Securities prior to its actual receipt of final payment therefor. All such credits shall be conditional until Securities Intermediary’s actual receipt of final payment and may be reversed by Securities Intermediary to the extent that final payment is not received. Payment with respect to a transaction will not be “final” until Securities Intermediary shall have received immediately available funds which under applicable local law, rule and/or practice are irreversible and not subject to any security interest, levy or other encumbrance, and which are specifically applicable to such transaction.

ARTICLE III

2. Securities Intermediary hereby waives any security interest in or lien on, or right of set-off with respect to any of the Collateral that Securities Intermediary may now or in the future may have, except to the extent of any advances that Securities Intermediary may from time to time make to, or for the benefit of, Pledgor for purposes of clearing or settling purchases or sales of securities by Pledgor. In this regard, Securities Intermediary shall be entitled to all the rights and remedies of a pledgee and secured creditor under applicable laws, rules or regulations as then in effect.

3. Securities Intermediary has the right to debit any cash account for any amount payable by Pledgor in connection with any and all obligations of Pledgor to Securities Intermediary, whether or not relating to or arising under these Global Custody Terms and Conditions. In addition to the rights of Securities Intermediary under applicable law and other agreements, at any time when Pledgor shall not have honored any and all of its obligations to Securities Intermediary, Securities Intermediary shall have the right without notice to Pledgor to retain or set-off, against such obligations of Pledgor, any Securities or cash Securities Intermediary or an affiliate of Securities Intermediary may directly or indirectly hold for the account of Pledgor, and any obligations (whether matured or unmatured) that Securities Intermediary or an affiliate of Securities Intermediary may have to Pledgor in any currency.

C. Termination of Coverage, Conditions Subsequent

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Policy, the coverage extended to any Loan by a Certificate of Insurance may be terminated at the Company’s sole discretion, immediately and without notice, if, with respect to such Loan, the Insured shall permit or agree to any of the following without prior written consent of the Company:

 

  (1) Any material change or modification of the terms of the Loan including, but not limited to, the borrowed amount, interest rate, term or amortization schedule, excepting such modifications as may be specifically provided for in the Loan documents, and permitted without further approval or consent of the Insured.

Condition Five – Exclusions From Coverage

It is understood and agreed that the Company shall not be liable for and the Policy shall not apply, extend to or cover the following:

 

A. Balloon Payment

Any Loss arising out of or in connection with failure of the Borrower to make any payment of principal and/or interest due under a Loan which payment arises because the Insured exercises its right to call or accelerate such Loan (except as a result of a Default) or because the term of such Loan is shorter than the amortization period, and which payment is for an amount more than twice the regular periodic payments of principal and interest (including any additional amounts escrowed for taxes or insurance) that are set forth in such Loan (commonly referred to as a “Balloon Payment”). This exclusion shall not apply to Loss resulting from the refusal of the Borrower to accept an extension or renewal from the Insured or its Servicer of the Loan at market rates.

 

B. Prior Delinquencies

Any Loss arising from a Default if, as of the Effective Date of the Certificate of Insurance, a delinquency exists with respect to any payment under the Loan.

 

C. Incomplete Construction

Any Loss, if, as of the date of the related Claim, construction of the Property has not been completed in accordance with the construction plans and specifications.

 

D. Misrepresentation and Fraud

Any Loss for which a Claim is made in connection with a Certificate of Insurance issued in reliance upon an Application for Insurance containing any material misstatement, misrepresentation or omission, whether intentional or otherwise or as a result of any act of fraud; provided, however, that unless the Insured had knowledge of or participated in a Third-Party Misrepresentation or Fraud at the time it was made, the Company shall not rescind or deny coverage, or adjust any Claim based on such Third-Party Misrepresentation or Fraud.

 

E. Negligence of Insured or Servicer

Any Loss arising out of any negligence of the Insured or Servicer in the origination or servicing of a Loan which negligence is either the proximate cause of such Loss or materially increases the risk insured, provided that if the Company can reasonably determine the amount by which such negligence increased the Loss as calculated in Condition Eleven (B), its remedy shall be to adjust the Loss accordingly.

Condition Six – Conditions Precedent to Payment of Claim

 

A. Conditions Precedent

The Insured must comply with each of the following requirements as a condition precedent to any obligation of the Company under this Policy:

 

  (1) Notice of Default or Early Default

The Insured shall, within fifteen (15) days, and notwithstanding any subsequent cure, give the Company written notice, on forms acceptable to the Company, of (i) any Loan that is three (3) months in Default, or (ii) any Loan for which there is an Early Default.

 

  (2) Monthly Default Reports; Report of Proceedings

The Insured shall give the Company monthly reports, on forms acceptable to the Company, detailing servicing efforts with respect to each Loan for which notice to the Company is required under Condition Six of this Policy. Monthly reports shall contain all of the information and documentation reasonably requested by the Company, including, but not limited to, the condition of the Property, status of Borrower contact efforts and status of Appropriate Proceedings.

Monthly reports shall continue with respect to each such Loan until such Default or Early Default has been cured or until title to the Property has been acquired by the Insured. The Insured shall provide the Company with written notice within fifteen (15) days after the Insured has knowledge of the commencement of any proceeding, including Appropriate Proceedings, which affects the Loan, the Property, or the Insured’s or Borrower’s interest therein.

 

  (3) Appropriate Proceedings

Subject only to the provisions of Conditions Nine and Fifteen below:

 

  (a) The Insured shall commence and diligently pursue Appropriate Proceedings, but in no event later than six (6) months after it is permitted to do so pursuant to the terms of the Loan and applicable law. If directed by the Company, the Insured shall commence Appropriate Proceedings as soon as it is permitted to do so pursuant to the terms of the Loan and applicable law.

  (b) The Insured shall furnish the Company with copies of all notices and pleadings filed or required in connection with Appropriate Proceedings.

 

  (c) Bidding instructions:

 

  (i) The Company may give specific foreclosure sale bidding instructions to the Insured that do not require a minimum bid of less than Fair Market Value, and in accordance with applicable law, provided that the Company will not specify a maximum bid of less than the uninsured Loan amount, and, if the Property will be subject to redemption for less than the outstanding amount owed by the Borrower, the Company will not specify an opening bid of less than the uninsured Loan amount. For this purpose, the uninsured Loan amount shall be the estimated Loss calculated pursuant to Condition Eleven (B), less the percentage thereof payable pursuant to Condition Twelve (A)(2).

 

  (ii) In the absence of specific bidding instructions, the Insured may control the bidding process.

 

  (iii) In the event of either (i) or (ii), above, unless the Company elects in writing prior to the foreclosure sale to purchase the Property, any third-party purchase at foreclosure will be treated as an Approved Sale pursuant to Condition Eight (A) of this Policy.

 

B. Failure to Comply

The failure of the Insured to comply with any of the foregoing conditions precedent will give the Company, at its sole discretion, the right to declare any liability or obligation under this Policy null and void with respect to the applicable Certificate of Insurance, provided that violations of timing requirements shall result only in a reduction of the Loss to the estimated extent of the prejudice suffered by the Company for the violation, and shall not result in cancellation of coverage unless the timing violation exceeds one year from the required date of submission.

 

 

Condition Seven – Loan Servicing

Every Loan insured under this Policy shall be serviced in a reasonable and prudent manner and consistent with the highest standards of servicing in use in the residential mortgage industry. Such servicing shall include, but not be limited to, diligent efforts to cure a Default, including Borrower contact, and prompt reporting of any Default to the appropriate credit reporting bureau(s). If the servicing of a Loan is sold, assigned or transferred by the Insured or by the Servicer, coverage shall continue hereunder; provided that notice thereof is given to the Company and the Loan continues to be serviced by an entity approved by the Company.

If the Company disapproves a Servicer, or if the Loan is transferred to a previously disapproved or unapproved Servicer, the Insured, (or the owner of the Loan, if the Company has been notified of an owner other than the Insured), shall have ninety (90) days in which to replace the Servicer with one approved by the Company.

 

 

Condition Eight – Approved Sale

 

A. Settlement on Basis of Approved Sale

If an Approved Sale is consummated in accordance with the terms set forth hereinabove, with respect to such Approved Sale:

 

  (1) The Company hereby waives its right to exercise its option to acquire the Property pursuant to Condition Twelve (A)(1) of this Policy, and releases the Insured from the obligation to tender Merchantable Title pursuant to Condition Twelve or Borrower’s Title to the Property pursuant to Condition Eleven (A)(1) of this Policy;

 

  (2) The Insured shall have the sole right to receive the net proceeds of such Approved Sale and acceptance of such net proceeds in satisfaction of the Loan shall not prejudice the Insured hereunder; and

 

  (3) In calculating the net proceeds of such Approved Sale, all the Insured’s reasonable costs of obtaining and closing the sale shall be deducted from the gross proceeds of the sale.

 

  (4) Company shall pay to the Insured, in full settlement of its obligation to the Insured with respect to the Loss to which such Approved Sale is related, the lesser of:

 

  (a) the entire amount of such Loss determined pursuant to Condition Eleven of this Policy; or

 

  (b) the percentage of such Loss, computed without deduction of the net proceeds of the Approved Sale, specified in the applicable Certificate of Insurance and in accordance with the premium plan under which the Loan is insured.

 

B. Settlement if Approved Sale Does Not Close

If an Approved Sale does not close, the Company may settle under either of the settlement options set forth in Condition Twelve (A), provided that if the Settlement Due Date has passed, (i) interest as provided for in Condition Thirteen (D) shall be payable, and (ii) if the Company wishes to settle under Condition Twelve (A)(1), the Insured’s obligations in connection with the transfer of the Property to the Company shall be as required by this Policy subject to the limitation that they shall not be more burdensome to the Insured than its obligations (including, but not limited to, its obligations as to the condition of the Property) as seller in the Approved Sale that failed to close.

Condition Nine – Mitigation of Damages

 

A. Mitigation of Damages

The Insured shall actively cooperate with the Company to prevent and mitigate Loss including, without limitation, the collection of rents, the assertion of its rights in and to any collateral or security in its custody or control, assertion of rights against the Borrower, and prompt reporting to the Company of any preforeclosure sale offers. If a preforeclosure sale is approved by the Company and the Insured, but for any reason the sale does not close, then the Company shall continue to administer the Policy as if no sale had been attempted. The Company may assist the Insured in efforts to mitigate any Loss.

The Company shall actively cooperate with the Insured to administer the Policy in such a way as to not increase the Insured’s uninsured loss, pursuant to the reciprocity and mutuality of the parties’ obligations.

 

B. Sale of the Property by the Insured

The mitigation efforts of the Insured shall also include diligent efforts to market any Property for which it has obtained Borrower’s Title. After obtaining Borrower’s Title, the Insured shall submit to the Company any offer for sale of the Property that would be acceptable to the Insured and would result in a lower Claim settlement under Condition Eight (A) than under the percentage payment option of Condition Twelve (A)(2), so long as the Company has not notified the Insured that it will acquire the Property, and its right to acquire the Property has not been waived, or expired pursuant to Condition Twelve (B). Any such sale offer shall be approved or rejected by the Company in its entirety.

For purposes of this Condition, a sale offer submitted to the Company shall consist of an offer to purchase the Property received by the Insured, together with a schedule of (i) expense items proposed by the Insured to be included in the settlement amount if the Property sale closes, and (ii) the insured’s then-estimated amounts thereof.

The Insured, if requested by the Company, shall authorize its broker to release to the Company such marketing information concerning the Property as the Company may request, unless or until the Insured shall have notified the broker that the Company’s right to acquire the Property has expired or been waived.

 

C. Failure to Mitigate

If the Insured breaches its duty to prevent and mitigate Loss, then the Company’s remedy shall be to reduce the Insured’s Loss by the reasonably estimated extent of the resulting prejudice to the Company, rather than to deny the Claim.

Condition Ten – Option to Acquire Loan

At any time after a Default, and prior to the conclusion of Appropriate Proceedings, the Company shall have the option to acquire the related Loan. The Company shall exercise such option in writing and within thirty (30) days after the date thereof, the Insured shall furnish to the Company a written statement of the acquisition cost of such Loan. The acquisition cost shall be computed in the same manner as the computation of Loss set forth in Condition Eleven of this Policy, except that interest shall be calculated only through the date of acquisition. Payment of the acquisition cost so computed shall be made by the Company to the Insured within thirty (30) days after the receipt of such statement from the Insured together with all supporting documentation reasonably required by the Company. Contemporaneously therewith, Insured shall execute and deliver to the Company, or its nominee, such instruments or documents which the Company may reasonably require to effect or confirm the assignment or transfer of the Loan and any right, title or interest of the Insured in and to the Property, Appropriate Proceedings and any other collateral or security. In addition, Insured shall assign and deliver to the Company existing fire, hazard and title insurance policies relating to the Loan. The assignment or transfer of the Loan, any other collateral or security, and all related documents by the Insured to the Company shall constitute a warranty by the Insured that it has good title to such Loan, collateral, security and related documents, free and clear of all liens and encumbrances, and that there are no setoffs or counterclaims which may be asserted by the Borrower, and that the Insured has done nothing to impair the validity and enforceability of its rights with respect to such Loan, such collateral or security and such related documents.

 

 

Condition Eleven – Loss Payment Procedure

 

A. Submission of Claim

 

  (1) A Claim may not be submitted to the Company prior to the Insured’s acquisition of Borrower’s Title to the Property, except in the case of Approved Sales, as set forth in Condition Eight.

 

  (2) The Insured may submit a Claim prior to the expiration of any applicable redemption period, provided however, that in the event a Borrower exercises his redemption rights, the Insured shall reimburse the Company for the amount (if any) by which the sum of the Claim payment paid plus the amount realized by the Insured from the redemption of the Property exceeds the Loss as calculated pursuant to Condition Eleven (B).

Radian

Master

Policy

 

  (3) Failure by the Insured to submit a Perfected Claim within one year after the acquisition of Borrower’s Title to the Property shall relieve the Company of any obligation or liability with respect to the underlying Certificate of Insurance.

 

B. Calculation of Loss

 

  (1) Loss with respect to any Default insured against hereunder shall be determined as the sum of:

 

  (a) The unpaid principal balance due under the Loan;

 

  (b) The amount of unpaid accumulated interest due under the Loan, computed at the contractual rate or rates stated in the Loan (excluding late charges and penalties), up to the date the Claim is submitted to the Company, but in no event in excess of two (2) years; and

 

  (c) The amount of any Advances made by the Insured.

In addition, if a Loan has been divided into secured and unsecured portions pursuant to proceedings under the federal bankruptcy laws, the amount in clause (a) above shall include the unpaid principal due under the unsecured portion of the Loan, even if the Borrower has been released from such debt, and the amount in clause (b) above shall include interest thereon computed at the contract rate or rates stated in the Loan from the date of Default through the date referred to in clause (b).

 

  (2) Such Loss shall be reduced by the following, insofar as not previously applied to the repayment of the Loan:

 

  (a) The unpaid interest due under the Loan, calculated in accordance with Condition Eleven (B)(1), accruing after the Insured has acquired Borrower’s Title to the Property for a period of sixty (60) days;

 

  (b) The amount of all rent and other payments (excluding proceeds of fire and extended coverage insurance) which have been received by the Insured and which are in any way related to the Property;

 

  (c) Any amount remaining in any related escrow account or security deposit in the custody or control of the Insured as of the date of last payment; and

 

  (d) The amount of any payments on the Loan received by the Insured after the date of Default;
 

 

16    Master Policy | Condition Eleven


Radian

Master

Policy

 

  (e) The amount of any benefits paid under any fire and extended coverage policies which is in excess of the actual cost of restoring and repairing the Property;

 

  (f) The remaining amount, if any, of unused interest buydown funds, discounts, or similar features of the Loan;

 

  (g) When the Company elects to purchase the Property pursuant to Condition Twelve (A)(1), or when the Company elects to pay the percentage option pursuant to Condition Twelve (A)(2), and a casualty event, coupled with a lack of insurance for such casualty, was the most important cause of the Default; the entire cost to repair or remedy any Physical Damage in excess of $1,500.00 to the Property to the extent such Physical Damage has not been previously repaired or remedied; and

 

  (h) The net proceeds of any Approved Sale; and

 

  (i) The full amount of the entire proceeds awarded in or resulting from a condemnation or a sale in lieu of condemnation.

 

C. Deficiency Judgments

If either the Insured or the Company intends to pursue a deficiency judgment against the Borrower, no later than during the Claim Settlement Period the party that is the proponent of pursuing a deficiency will promptly notify the other party of its intent and the parties will determine whether the deficiency judgment will be sought for the account of such proponent or for the account of both parties. If, pursuant to the instructions of the Company, the Insured has pursued a manner of foreclosure other than the usual and customary manner so that a deficiency judgment may be preserved and pursued, the Company will be deemed the proponent. If the Insured, without instruction, has pursued a manner of foreclosure other than the usual and customary manner so that a deficiency judgment may be preserved and pursued, the Insured will be deemed the proponent. Further, the Insured will be deemed the proponent, and the determination is not required, if the Company is prohibited by law from pursuing a deficiency judgment against the Borrower.

To facilitate such determination on an informed basis, either party may request pertinent deficiency information from the other. Each party will provide such information if requested, but is not obligated to seek additional information solely to respond to the request. If the Claim as initially filed does not indicate whether the Insured intends to pursue a deficiency and/or does not provide such information as the Insured may have relevant to whether a deficiency should be pursued, the Company may request the information as provided in Condition Thirteen (A).

 

 

17    Master Policy | Condition Eleven


Radian

Master

Policy

 

If the amount of Loss calculated pursuant to Condition Eleven (B) has been increased because of the desire of either the Insured or the Company to preserve and pursue deficiency rights, the excess shall be determined. In determining such excess, the three percent (3%) limitation of Condition One (A)(5) will not be applied to exclude amounts that are necessary to preserve and/or pursue the deficiency rights. If the deficiency rights will be pursued solely by the Insured, the Loss shall be adjusted to exclude such excess. If the deficiency rights will be pursued solely by the Company, the amount paid by the Company pursuant to Condition Eight, Condition Ten or Condition Twelve shall include all of such excess, regardless of the settlement option the Company may select. If the deficiency judgment is to be pursued for the account of both parties, any expenses the Company incurred (other than staff time or other internal costs) to preserve and/or pursue the deficiency rights will be added to such excess, and the total shall be allocated between the Insured and the Company in accordance with their pro rata shares referred to in Condition Fifteen (A). The Loss paid pursuant to Condition Eight or Condition Twelve will be adjusted to reflect such allocation of deficiency-related expenses. Subsequent deficiency-related expenses (including collection expenses, insofar as not satisfied from sums collected, but excluding staff time or other internal costs of either party), and any and all amounts recovered (net of collection expenses) also will be allocated to the parties in such pro rata shares.

After the Company’s payment of the Loss, management and control of deficiency rights being pursued for the account of both parties will be governed by reasonable agreement of the parties.

 

D. Claim Requirements

In order to make a Perfected Claim, the Insured must provide the Company with the following:

 

  (1) A properly completed Claim on a form furnished or approved by the Company requesting payment of the Loss;

 

  (2) All information requested on such form, all documentation requested or reasonably necessary to complete such form, and all other information and/or documentation reasonably requested by the Company in connection with its review of the Claim;

 

  (3) Evidence satisfactory to the Company that the Insured has Borrower’s Title to the Property, except where there has been an Approved Sale or the Company has elected to acquire the Property;

 

  (4) If the Company elects to acquire the Property, evidence that the Insured has acquired and can convey Merchantable Title; and

 

  (5) Access to the Property for purposes of determining its condition and value, if requested by the Company.

  (2) None of the Insured’s deficiency rights against the Borrower shall vest by subrogation in the Company if the Company is not entitled by law to pursue such rights, or if the Company has elected not to share in the pursuit of such rights pursuant to Condition Eleven (C); and
