B. The Sponsor’s reimbursement obligations to Freddie Mac with respect to the Certificates are set forth in the Bond Exchange, Reimbursement, Pledge and Security Agreement dated as of August 1, 2018 (the “Reimbursement Agreement”) between the Sponsor and Freddie Mac.

D.

Freddie Mac in payment for any obligations due to Freddie Mac with respect to such Senior Bonds.

4. Subordination; No Exercise of Rights or Remedies.

4.1. The Custodian and the Depositor hereby acknowledge that all rights to payments with respect to a series of Immobilized Bonds shall be subordinate to all amounts due with respect to the applicable series of Senior Bonds as set forth in the applicable Bond Documents and hereunder, both prior to and after the respective maturity dates of the Immobilized Bonds.  During the term hereof, the Depositor’s only rights with respect to the Immobilized Bonds shall be to receive payments thereon as provided herein.  

4.2. Without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac or the Servicer in each instance, neither the Custodian nor the Depositor shall (i) amend, modify, waive, extend, renew or replace any provision of any of the Bond Documents, (ii) pledge, assign, transfer, convey, or sell any interest in the Immobilized Bonds or any of the Bond Documents; (iii) accept any payment on account of the Immobilized Bonds unless it is in compliance with the terms of the Bond Documents and the terms hereof; (iv) take any action which has the effect of increasing the amount of the Immobilized Bonds; or (v) exercise (or direct the exercise of) any right of consent, voting right or proxy or any other right or action under the Bond Documents or otherwise with respect to the Immobilized Bonds, including, but not limited to any remedial rights or action.

4.3. The Custodian and the Depositor acknowledge that Freddie Mac may grant or refuse consent to any remedial rights or actions with respect to the Immobilized Bonds in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion.  The exercise of any remedial rights or actions with respect to the Immobilized Bonds will be subject to the terms hereof.  The Custodian and the Depositor acknowledge that the provisions of this Section 4 are fair and reasonable under the circumstances, that the Depositor has received a substantial benefit from Freddie Mac having granted its consent to keep the Immobilized Bonds outstanding, and that Freddie Mac would not have granted such consent without the inclusion of these provisions in this Custody Agreement.  

4.4. Freddie Mac may pursue all rights and remedies available to it under the Bond Documents, at law, or in equity.  No action or failure to act on the part of Freddie Mac in the event of any Event of Default shall constitute a waiver on the part of Freddie Mac of any provision of the Bond Documents or this Custody Agreement.

4.5. The Depositor shall have the right to have a series of Immobilized Bonds released on any Business Day from under this Custody Agreement in the event either (i) the related series of Senior Bonds are released from the applicable Series Pool pursuant to a Release Event funded by the Sponsor or (ii) the full amount outstanding of the related series of Senior Bonds have been redeemed and Freddie Mac has been fully reimbursed with respect to any Advance made in connection with such redemption.  In connection with any release of Immobilized Bonds pursuant to this Section 4.5, the Depositor shall provide written notice to the Custodian setting forth the circumstances allowing such release and the date on which such release is to occur, along with a signed acknowledgement from Freddie Mac that the conditions to release have occurred.

4.6. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Depositor shall have the right to direct the Custodian in writing to surrender a series of Immobilized Bonds to the applicable Bond Trustee for cancellation in accordance with the applicable Bond Documents and may direct the Custodian to waive any bond redemption notice required under the Bond Documents pursuant to a written direction to the Custodian (along with a copy of such direction to Freddie Mac).  Upon cancellation, the Custodian shall promptly provide written notice of such cancellation to the Depositor and Freddie Mac.

(iii) Neither the Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this

Custody Agreement, or in connection with this Custody Agreement, except for its or their own gross negligence or willful misconduct; nor shall the Custodian be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Depositor of this Custody Agreement or any other document furnished pursuant to this Custody Agreement or in connection with this Custody Agreement, or of the Immobilized Bonds (or any part thereof), or for the perfection or priority of any security interest purported to be granted under this Custody Agreement.

(iv) The Custodian shall be entitled to conclusively rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons.

5.3. Successor Custodian .

(i) The Custodian acting under this Custody Agreement at any time may resign by an instrument in writing addressed and delivered to the Depositor and Freddie Mac, and may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing duly executed by or on behalf of Freddie Mac.

(ii) Freddie Mac shall have the right to appoint a successor to the Custodian upon any such resignation or removal by an instrument of substitution complying with the requirements of applicable law, or, in the absence of any such requirements, without formality other than appointment and designation in writing.  Upon the making and acceptance of such appointment, the execution and delivery by such successor Custodian of a ratifying instrument pursuant to which such successor Custodian agrees to assume the duties and obligations imposed on the Custodian by the terms of this Custody Agreement, and the delivery to such successor Custodian of the Immobilized Bonds and documents and instruments then held by the retiring Custodian, such successor Custodian shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the estate, rights, powers, remedies, privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations by this Custody

6

Agreement granted to or conferred or imposed upon the Custodian named in this Custody Agreement, and on such appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate further successor Custodians under this Custody Agreement.  No Custodian shall be discharged from its duties or obligations under this Custody Agreement until the Immobilized Bonds and documents and instruments then held by such Custodian shall have been transferred or delivered to the successor Custodian with notice to the Depositor and until such retiring Custodian shall have executed and delivered to the successor Custodian appropriate instruments assigning the retiring Custodian’s security or other interest in the Immobilized Bonds to the successor Custodian.  The retiring Custodian shall not be required to make any representation or warranty in connection with any such transfer or assignment, except only that it has not created any liens on the Immobilized Bonds other than liens granted pursuant to this Custody Agreement.

(d) If Sponsor fails to cure a Breach, or provide a Substitute Bond as set forth in subsection (b) above, within the time provided in subsection (c) above, or fails to diligently prosecute the cure of such Breach, in Freddie Mac’s reasonable judgment, Freddie Mac, after written notice to the Sponsor, shall have the right, but not the obligation, to cure any such Breach, and any costs, fees or expenses so incurred by Freddie Mac shall be a Credit Advance and shall be paid by the Sponsor in accordance herewith.  Amounts expended by the Sponsor to cure a Breach shall be at the sole cost and expense of the Sponsor.

Section 3.11 [Reserved] .

35

of counsel reasonably acceptable to Freddie Mac and the payment of all expenses associated therewith.  The Indemnified Party shall have the right to approve a settlement to which it is a party and if the named parties to any such action include both the Sponsor and the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party has been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Sponsor, to employ separate counsel in any such action or proceedings and to participate in the investigation and defense thereof, and the Sponsor shall pay or cause to be paid the reasonable fees and expenses of such separate counsel.  The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Section 3.13 Freddie Mac Not Liable .  None of Freddie Mac’s officials, officers, directors, members, shareholders, agents, attorneys, independent contractors or employees shall be responsible for, or liable to, the Sponsor or any of its officials, officers, directors, shareholders, members, partners, affiliates, independent contractors or employees for (a) any act or omission of Freddie Mac or any other Person made in good faith with respect to the validity, sufficiency, accuracy or genuineness of documents, or of any endorsement(s) thereon (except for documents and endorsements provided by Freddie Mac), even if such documents should be in fact, or prove to be in any or all respects, invalid, insufficient, fraudulent or forged; (b) the validity or sufficiency of any instrument transferring or assigning, or purporting to transfer or assign the Series Certificate Agreement or the rights or benefits under the Series Certificate Agreement or proceeds under the Series Certificate Agreement, in whole or in part, that may prove to be invalid or ineffective for any reason; (c) failure of the Administrator to comply fully with all conditions required in order to effect any applicable Credit Advance; (d) errors, omissions, interruptions or delays in transmission or delivery of any messages by the Administrator, by mail, cable, telegraph, telex, telecopier or otherwise that may be required under the Series Certificate Agreement; (e) any loss or delay by the Administrator in the transmission or otherwise of any document or draft required in order to make any Credit Advance; (f) failure of any trustee with respect to the Bonds to comply fully with all terms of the related Bond Documents; or (g) any consequences arising from causes beyond the control of Freddie Mac.  In furtherance, and not in limitation of the foregoing, Freddie Mac may accept documents that appear on their face to be valid and in order, without any responsibility for further investigation. None of the above shall affect, impair, or prevent the vesting of any rights or powers of Freddie Mac under this Agreement.

In furtherance and extension, and not in limitation, of the specific provisions set forth above, any action taken or omitted by Freddie Mac (including in its capacity as Bondholder Representative) under or in connection with the Sponsor Documents or any Owner Document, or any related certificates or other documents, if taken or omitted in good faith and not in contravention of the terms hereof, shall be binding upon the applicable Owner, the Bond Trustee, the Issuer, the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, the Administrator and the Pledge Custodian, and shall not, under any circumstance, put Freddie Mac under any resulting liability to any of them.

the proposed purchase date and stating that the Sponsor may elect to fund or cause the funding of such purchase of the affected series of Bonds.

In the event the Sponsor elects to fund or cause the funding of the purchase of the affected series of Bonds, the provisions of subsection (a) above shall apply.

In the event the Sponsor does not elect to fund or cause the funding of the purchase of the affected series of Bonds, and Freddie Mac does not decide to terminate the Release Event, the affected series of Bonds are required to be purchased with funds drawn pursuant to the Credit Enhancement by Freddie Mac under the Series Certificate Agreement, and such Bonds shall be delivered to the Pledge Custodian and held in the name of the Pledge Custodian as applicable for the benefit of the Sponsor subject to the lien in favor of Freddie Mac.  All such moneys for the purchase of such Bonds shall be applied as provided in Series Certificate Agreement.

Any Credit Advance by Freddie Mac under this Section 7.3(b) to fund the purchase of an affected series of Bonds, shall be deemed to be a loan from Freddie Mac to the Sponsor (a “Bond Purchase Loan”).  The maturity date of any Bond Purchase Loan shall be the earliest of (1) two years from the date of purchase, or (2) the sale or transfer of all of the affected series of Bonds, or the foreclosure, deed in lieu of foreclosure or comparable conversion of the related Bond Mortgage, on which maturity date the outstanding principal of such Bond Purchase Loan shall be due and payable in full, or (3) the date of termination of the Series Pool in whole in accordance with Article XIII of the Series Certificate Agreement.  (Any Bond Purchase Loan may be prepaid by the Sponsor at any time.)  Interest on any Bond Purchase Loan shall accrue at a rate of interest equal to the prime rate of interest of Citibank, N.A., until such time as another “Money Center” bank is designated by Freddie Mac in its sole discretion by notice to the Sponsor, plus two percent (2%) per annum, which shall be payable on the fifteenth day of each calendar month.  The principal of any Bond Purchase Loan shall be payable from amounts applied as provided in Section 4.03(b) of the Series Certificate Agreement except, prior to the payment in full of all Class A Certificates under the Series Certificate Agreement and prior to the termination thereof, the principal of any outstanding Bond Purchase Loan shall not be payable (nor be deemed due for payment) from amounts applied pursuant to the aforementioned Section 4.03(b) if such amounts are derived from a Credit Advance by Freddie Mac in connection with a subsequent Release Event.  The principal of any outstanding Bond Purchase Loan shall also be payable from any payments of principal in respect of a Purchased Bond pursuant to Article VIII hereof.  At any time prior to the Sponsor's funding of the purchase of such Bonds or causing to fund the same, (i)  Freddie Mac shall retain all rights and remedies with respect to any such Mortgaged Property and the related Owner Documents and (ii) the Sponsor hereby acknowledges and agrees that it has relinquished and has no rights to exercise remedies with respect to the Mortgaged Property or the related Owner Documents except as specifically provided under any Sponsor Documents and that with respect thereto the Sponsor shall not exercise any such rights without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.

(c) Material Adverse Credit Condition .  Freddie Mac hereby acknowledges that a Release Event may not be declared solely because the DCR or LTV of a Mortgaged Property (as defined in Section 3.19 hereof) related to a Bond worsens following the Closing Date, and that any such event shall not in and of itself be treated as a “material adverse credit condition” for such purpose.  The foregoing statement does not in any way alter or change the DCR and LTV requirements for Substitute Bonds specified in Section 3.19 hereof.

49

Section 7.4 No Remedy Exclusive .   Unless otherwise expressly provided, no remedy conferred upon or reserved in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of any other available remedy, but each remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to other remedies given under the Sponsor Documents or existing at law or in equity.  No delay or omission to exercise any right or power accruing under any Sponsor Document upon the happening of any event set forth in Section 7.1 shall impair any such right or power or shall be construed to be a waiver of such event, but any such right and power may be exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.  In order to entitle Freddie Mac to exercise any remedy reserved to Freddie Mac in this Article, it shall not be necessary to give any notice, other than such notice as may be required under the applicable provisions of any of the other Sponsor Documents.  The rights and remedies of Freddie Mac specified in this Agreement are for the sole and exclusive benefit, use and protection of Freddie Mac, and Freddie Mac is entitled, but shall have no duty or obligation to the Sponsor, the Guarantor, any Sponsor Affiliate, the Pledge Custodian, the Administrator or otherwise, (a) to exercise or to refrain from any right or remedy reserved to Freddie Mac hereunder, or (b) to cause the Pledge Custodian, the Administrator or any other party to exercise or to refrain from exercising any right or remedy available to it under any of the Sponsor Documents.

Article VIII

PLEDGE, SECURITY AND CUSTODY OF PLEDGED SECURITY COLLATERAL

Section 8.1 Pledged Security Collateral .  Subject to the provisions of Section 8.18, the Sponsor hereby assigns and pledges to the Pledge Custodian, and grants to the Pledge Custodian, for the benefit of Freddie Mac, a continuing security interest in, and a lien on, all of the Sponsor’s right, title and interest in and to the following property (collectively, the “Pledged Security Collateral”):

(a) all Purchased Bonds;

(b) all amounts deposited into the Custody Account;

(c) all interest and other amounts payable on, and all rights with respect to, any Purchased Bonds, Class B Certificates, and all amounts on deposit in the Custody Account (including, without limitation, all payments of principal and interest thereon); and

(d) all proceeds of any of the foregoing.

Section 8.2 Delivery of Pledged Security Collateral .  At such time as a Bond becomes a Purchased Bond in accordance with the Series Certificate Agreement, and this Agreement, the Sponsor shall be the beneficial owner of each of the Purchased Bonds, as applicable, which, regardless of the identity of the beneficial owner thereof, shall be held by the Pledge Custodian subject to the security interest created by the terms of this Agreement.  All Pledged Security Collateral shall be deposited in the Custody Account (as defined in Section 8.11 below).  The Pledge Custodian shall cause the Purchased Bonds to be registered in the name of the Pledge Custodian or, if transfers are recorded in book-entry form only, cause the appropriate records of the applicable financial intermediary to reflect that the Pledge Custodian holds a security interest in the Purchased Bonds for the benefit of Freddie Mac.

50

Section 8.3 [Reserved ] .  

Section 8.4 Amounts Received on Purchased Bonds .  The Pledge Custodian shall pay to Freddie Mac within one (1) Business Day all amounts received by the Pledge Custodian with respect to any Purchased Bonds, for credit to the obligations of the Sponsor hereunder, until such Purchased Bonds are released to the Sponsor in accordance with the terms of Section 8.5 of this Agreement.

Section 8.5 Release of Purchased Bonds .  If the Pledge Custodian has received written notice from Freddie Mac that Freddie Mac (provided no written notice shall be required when Freddie Mac is also acting as the Pledge Custodian) has been fully reimbursed by the Sponsor for all Obligations relating to a Purchased Bond (and Freddie Mac agrees to give such notice promptly following full reimbursement), that no Credit Advances remain unreimbursed, that all fees and other amounts currently owing to Freddie Mac have been paid and that no Event of Default exists hereunder, the Pledge Custodian shall release such Purchased Bond together with the proceeds thereof remaining in the possession of the Pledge Custodian, if any, to the Sponsor.  The release of such Purchased Bond shall be free and clear of the security interest created by this Agreement.

Section 8.6 [Reserved] .  

Section 8.7 Loss to Pledged Security Collateral .  The Pledge Custodian shall not be liable for any loss with respect to any Pledged Security Collateral in its possession (except for any loss resulting from the Pledge Custodian’s willful misconduct or negligence), nor shall such loss diminish the Obligations.

Section 8.8 [Reserved] .  

Section 8.9 Ownership Restrictions .  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Agreement, ownership by and release to the Sponsor of any Pledged Security Collateral as described hereunder shall be in all respects subject to the provisions of any documents restricting or governing transfers and ownership of such Pledged Security Collateral.

Section 8.10 Representations and Warranties of the Sponsor to the Pledge Custodian .  The Sponsor represents and warrants to the Pledge Custodian on the Closing Date and on each date that Purchased Bonds are delivered to the Pledge Custodian hereunder with respect to such Purchased Bonds that:

(a) it is the legal and beneficial owner of (and has full right and authority to pledge and assign) the applicable Pledged Security Collateral, free and clear of all liens, security interests, options or other charges or encumbrances (collectively, “ Liens ”) except Liens granted pursuant to this Agreement; and

(b) upon delivery of the Pledged Security Collateral to the Pledge Custodian (or notice to the financial intermediary, if applicable), the Pledge Custodian shall have a valid, enforceable and first priority security interest in all of the Pledged Security Collateral securing the Obligations.

51

Section 8.11 Custody Account .   On or prior to the Closing Date, the Pledge Custodian shall establish on its books and in its records the Custody Account.  The Pledge Custodian shall maintain the Custody Account until the termination of this Agreement.  At no time shall the Custody Account be maintained on behalf of, or be payable to, any person other than Freddie Mac.  The Sponsor and any Class B Owner shall not have any right of withdrawal from the Custody Account.  No property other than Pledged Security Collateral shall be deposited by the Pledge Custodian in the Custody Account.  Segregation of the Pledged Security Collateral in the Custody Account from other property maintained with the Pledge Custodian shall be accomplished by appropriate identification on the Pledge Custodian’s books and records.  The Pledge Custodian shall, at all times prior to the termination of this Agreement, maintain a record of all Purchased Bonds and other property in the Custody Account separately identifying such Purchased Bonds or other property received with respect thereto as being subject to the security interest granted to the Pledge Custodian on behalf of Freddie Mac in this Agreement.  So long as the internal procedures set forth in this Section are met by the Pledge Custodian, the Pledge Custodian may hold the Pledged Security Collateral in its vaults or in a commingled account (whether book-entry or otherwise) of the Pledge Custodian, as agent for its customers, with any bank, central depository or clearing organization as the Pledge Custodian’s subcustodian, in nominee name or otherwise.

Section 8.12 Appointment and Powers of the Pledge Custodian .  

(a) The Sponsor acknowledges the appointment of Freddie Mac in its capacity as the Pledge Custodian as collateral agent for Freddie Mac in its corporate capacity under this Agreement, and authorizes the Pledge Custodian to take such actions on behalf of Freddie Mac, and to exercise such rights, remedies, powers and privileges under this Agreement as are specifically authorized to be exercised by the Pledge Custodian by the terms of this Agreement.  The Pledge Custodian may execute any of its duties as collateral agent under this Agreement by or through its agents (but only with the prior written consent of Freddie Mac) or employees and shall be entitled to retain experts (including counsel) and to act in reliance upon the advice of such experts concerning all matters pertaining to the agencies created by this Agreement and its duties under this Agreement, and shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith in accordance with the advice of such counsel selected by it.  The Pledge Custodian agrees to perform only those duties specifically set forth in this Agreement, and no implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement.  So long as Freddie Mac is acting as Pledge Custodian hereunder, it shall have no duty to provide notice to, or seek the consent or direction of, Freddie Mac in its corporate capacity.

(b) The Pledge Custodian shall have no duty to exercise any discretionary right, remedy, power or privilege granted to it by this Agreement, or to take any affirmative action under this Agreement, unless directed to do so by Freddie Mac in writing, and shall not, without the prior written approval of Freddie Mac, consent to any departure by the Sponsor from the terms of this Agreement, waive any default on the part of the Sponsor under this Agreement or amend, modify, supplement or terminate, or agree to any surrender of, this Agreement or the Pledged Security Collateral; provided, that the Pledge Custodian shall not be required to take any action that exposes the Pledge Custodian to personal liability, or which is contrary to this Agreement or any other agreement or instrument relating to the Pledged Security Collateral or applicable law.

52

(c) Neither the Pledge Custodian nor any of its directors, officers, employees or agents, shall be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it or them under this Agreement, or in connection with this Agreement, except the Pledge Custodian shall be responsible for its own negligence or willful misconduct; nor shall the Pledge Custodian be responsible for the validity, effectiveness, value, sufficiency or enforceability against the Sponsor of this Agreement or any other document furnished pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with this Agreement, or of the Pledged Security Collateral (or any part thereof), or for the perfection or priority of any security interest purported to be granted under this Agreement.

(d) The Pledge Custodian shall be entitled to rely on any communication, instrument, paper or other document believed by it in good faith to be genuine and correct and to have been signed or sent by the proper person or persons.  The Pledge Custodian shall be entitled to assume that no Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, unless the Pledge Custodian has received written notice from Freddie Mac that such an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing and specifying the nature of the Event of Default.  The Pledge Custodian may accept deposits from, lend money to, and generally engage in any kind of business with, the Sponsor and its Affiliates as if it were not the agent of Freddie Mac.

(e) None of the provisions contained in this Article VIII shall require the Pledge Custodian to expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur financial liability in the performance of any of its duties or in the exercise of any of its rights or powers under this Article VIII except for any liability of the Pledge Custodian arising from its own negligence or willful misconduct.

(f) Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall the Pledge Custodian be liable for special, consequential or punitive damages.

Section 8.13 Successor Pledge Custodian.

(a) If Freddie Mac no longer acts as Pledge Custodian, if required by the successor pledge custodian or Freddie Mac, the Sponsor and the successor pledge custodian shall execute a new pledge, security and custody agreement that contains substantially the same terms as Article VIII of this Agreement and which is in form and substance satisfactory to Freddie Mac.  The Pledge Custodian acting under this Agreement may at any time resign by an instrument in writing addressed and delivered to the Sponsor and, if applicable, Freddie Mac (provided, however, that, if the Pledge Custodian (if other than Freddie Mac) is Administrator under the Series Certificate Agreement, the Pledge Custodian must have resigned as Administrator under the Series Certificate Agreement), and may be removed at any time with or without cause by an instrument in writing duly executed by or on behalf of Freddie Mac.

(b) Freddie Mac shall have the right to appoint a successor Pledge Custodian upon any such resignation or removal by an instrument of substitution complying with the requirements of applicable law, or, in the absence of any such requirements, without formality other than appointment and designation in writing (which appointment, provided no Event of Default exists hereunder, shall be subject to the prior consent of the Sponsor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).  Upon the making and acceptance of such appointment, the execution and delivery by such successor Pledge Custodian of a ratifying instrument pursuant to

53

which such successor Pledge Custodian agrees to assume the duties and obligations imposed on the Pledge Custodian by the terms of this Agreement, and the delivery to such successor Pledge Custodian of the Pledged  Security Collateral and documents and instruments then held by the retiring Pledge Custodian, such successor Pledge Custodian shall thereupon succeed to and become vested with all the estate, rights, powers, remedies, privileges, immunities, indemnities, duties and obligations by this Agreement granted to or conferred or imposed upon the Pledge Custodian named in this Agreement, and any such appointment and designation shall not exhaust the right to appoint and designate further successor Pledge Custodians under this Agreement.  No Pledge Custodian shall be discharged from its duties or obligations under this Agreement until the Pledged Security Collateral and documents and instruments then held by such Pledge Custodian shall have been transferred or delivered to the successor Pledge Custodian, and until such retiring Pledge Custodian shall have executed and delivered to the successor Pledge Custodian appropriate instruments assigning the retiring Pledge Custodian’s security or other interest in the Pledged Security Collateral to the successor Pledge Custodian.  The retiring Pledge Custodian shall not be required to make any representation or warranty in connection with any such transfer or assignment.

(c) If no successor Pledge Custodian shall be appointed, as provided above, or, if appointed, shall not have accepted its appointment within thirty (30) days after the resignation or removal of the retiring Pledge Custodian, then the retiring Pledge Custodian may appoint a successor Pledge Custodian.  Each such successor Pledge Custodian shall provide the Sponsor and Freddie Mac with its address, to be used for purposes of Section 9.6, in a notice complying with the terms of Section 9.6.  Notwithstanding the resignation or removal of any retiring Pledge Custodian under this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to inure to the benefit of such Pledge Custodian in respect of any action taken or omitted to be taken by such Pledge Custodian in its capacity as such while it was Pledge Custodian under this Agreement.

Section 8.14 Qualifications of Pledge Custodian .  Any Pledge Custodian at any time acting under this Agreement must at all times be either Freddie Mac or a bank or trust company organized under the laws of the United States of America or any state of the United States, having a combined capital stock, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least $50,000,000 (or be the wholly-owned subsidiary of a corporation or other entity meeting such requirement) or have at least $500,000,000 in assets under trust management.

Section 8.15 Application of Proceeds .  The Pledge Custodian shall apply the cash proceeds actually received from any sale or other disposition of the Pledged Security Collateral following an Event of Default as provided in Section 7.2(b).

Section 8.16 No Additional Waiver Implied by One Waiver .  If any provision of this Article VIII is breached by the Sponsor and thereafter waived by the Pledge Custodian, such waiver shall be limited to the particular breach so waived and shall not be deemed to waive any other breach under this Article VIII; provided that no waiver of any breach or default hereunder may be granted by the Pledge Custodian without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.  Any forbearance by the Pledge Custodian to demand payment for any amounts payable under this Article VIII shall be limited to the particular payment for which the Pledge Custodian forbears demand for payment and will not be deemed a forbearance to demand any other amount payable under this Article VIII.

54

Section 8.17 Cooperation .   At any time, and from time to time after the date of this Agreement, the Sponsor shall, at the request of the Pledge Custodian or Freddie Mac (if not serving as Pledge Custodian), execute and deliver any instruments or documents, including U.C.C. financing and continuation statements in favor of the Pledge Custodian, reflecting the Pledge Custodian’s security interest in the Pledged Security Collateral, and shall take all such further actions as such party may reasonably request in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 8.18 Termination .  The assignments, pledges and security interests created or granted by this Article VIII shall terminate contemporaneously with the termination of this Agreement, at which time the Pledge Custodian shall reassign, without recourse to, or any warranty whatsoever by the Pledge Custodian, and execute and deliver to the Sponsor or Class B Owner(s), as applicable, all Pledged Security Collateral and documents then in the custody or possession of the Pledge Custodian, and, if requested by the Sponsor or Class B Owner(s), shall execute and deliver to the Sponsor, Class B Owner(s) or their order, as applicable, for recording or filing in each office in which any assignment or financing statement relative to the Pledged Security Collateral or the agreements relating thereto, or any part thereof, shall have been filed or recorded, a termination statement or release under applicable law (including, if relevant, the U.C.C.) releasing the Pledge Custodian’s interest therein, and such other documents and instruments as the Sponsor or Class B Owner(s) may reasonably request, all without recourse to or any warranty whatsoever by the Pledge Custodian, and at the cost and expense of the Sponsor or Class B Owner(s).  Freddie Mac shall notify the Pledge Custodian in writing of any such termination, and the Pledge Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon such notice.

Section 8.19 Representations and Warranties of the Pledge Custodian .  The Pledge Custodian represents and warrants to the Sponsor that:

(i) it has the power and authority to execute and deliver, and perform its obligations under, this Agreement;

(ii) all corporate action required to authorize the acceptance of its appointment as Pledge Custodian hereunder and the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the effectuation of the transactions provided for in this Agreement has been duly taken; and

(iii) this Agreement has been duly and validly executed by the Pledge Custodian and constitutes the valid and binding obligation of the Pledge Custodian, enforceable against the Pledge Custodian in accordance with its terms, subject only to bankruptcy and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

Article IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1 Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in counterparts by the parties hereto, and each such counterpart shall be considered an original, and all such counterparts shall constitute one and the same instrument.

55

Section 9.2 Amendments, Changes and Modifications .   This Agreement may be amended, changed, modified, altered or terminated only by a written instrument or written instruments signed by the parties to this Agreement.  No course of dealing among the Sponsor and Freddie Mac, nor any delay in exercising any rights hereunder, shall operate as a waiver of any rights of Freddie Mac hereunder.  Unless otherwise specified in such waiver or consent, a waiver or consent given hereunder shall be effective only in the specific instance, and for the specific purpose for which given.

Section 9.3 Payment Procedure .  All amounts due to Freddie Mac under Article III of this Agreement shall be paid to Freddie Mac.  All such payments shall be paid in lawful currency of the United States of America and in immediately available funds in accordance with instructions given to the Sponsor by Freddie Mac to an account designated in writing by Freddie Mac before 2:00 p.m. (Washington, D.C. time) on the date when due, unless the Sponsor is otherwise instructed in writing by Freddie Mac.

Section 9.4 Payments on Business Days .  In any case where the date of payment to Freddie Mac or the expiration of any time period hereunder occurs on a day which is not a Business Day, then such payment or expiration of such time period need not occur on such date but may be made on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as if made on the day of maturity or expiration of such period, except that interest shall continue to accrue for the period after such date to the next Business Day.

Section 9.5 Governing Law; Severability .  This Agreement shall be construed, and the rights and obligations of Freddie Mac and the Sponsor hereunder determined, in accordance with federal statutory or common law (“federal law”).  Insofar as there may be no applicable rule or precedent under federal law and insofar as to do so would not frustrate the purposes of any provision of this Agreement and the Freddie Mac Act, the local law of the State of New York shall be deemed reflective of federal law.  The parties agree that any legal actions among Freddie Mac and the Sponsor regarding each party hereunder shall be originated in the United States District Court in and for the Eastern District of Virginia, and the parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction and venue of said Court in connection with any action or proceeding initiated concerning this Agreement.

The invalidity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity of any other provision, and all other provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 9.6 Notices .  All notices, directions, certificates or other communications hereunder to Freddie Mac or the Sponsor shall be deemed to be given (unless another form of notice shall be specifically set forth in this Agreement) on the Business Day following the date on which the same shall have been delivered to a national overnight delivery service (receipt of which to be evidenced by a signed receipt for overnight delivery service) with arrangements made for payment of all charges, for next Business Day delivery, addressed as set forth below.  All notices, directions, certificates or other communications to the Pledge Custodian or the Administrator shall be given and addressed in accordance with this Agreement and the Series Certificate Agreement.

Section 9.9 Assignments; Transfers; Third-Parties Rights .  The Sponsor shall not assign this Agreement, or delegate any of its obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.  This Agreement may not be transferred in any respect without the prior written consent of Freddie Mac.  Nothing in this Agreement shall confer any right upon the owner or holder of any Certificate or upon any other Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns.

Section 9.10 Headings .  Article and section headings used herein are for convenience of reference only, are not part of this Agreement and are not to affect the construction of, or to be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Agreement.

Section 9.11 Limitation on Personal Liability.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 9.11(b), neither the Sponsor nor its officers, directors, partners, members, managers or employees, shall have personal liability under this Agreement or any other Sponsor Document for the payment of the payment Obligations or for the performance of any other Obligations of the Sponsor under the Sponsor Documents, and Freddie Mac’s only recourse for the satisfaction or performance of the Obligations shall be Freddie Mac’s exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to the UCC Collateral and any other collateral held by Freddie Mac as security for the Obligations.  The foregoing notwithstanding, the Sponsor acknowledges that this Section 9.11(a) shall not be construed as limiting the coverage of, or any of Freddie Mac’s rights under, the Guaranty.

(b) The Sponsor shall be personally liable to Freddie Mac for its damages, losses or expenses, as applicable upon the occurrence of any of the following: (1) fraud or written material misrepresentation by the Sponsor, or any Sponsor Affiliate, or any officer, director, partner, member, manager or employee of the Sponsor, or any Sponsor Affiliate, in connection with the application for or creation of the Obligations or any request for any action or consent by Freddie Mac, (2) any costs and expenses incurred by Freddie Mac in connection with the collection of any amount for which the Sponsor is personally liable under this Section, including fees and out of pocket expenses of attorneys and expert witnesses and the costs of conducting any independent audit of the Sponsor’s and any Sponsor Affiliate’s books and records to determine

58

the amount for which the Sponsor has personal liability; and (3) any Breach that is uncured by the Sponsor in the event the Sponsor does not fulfill its obligations under Section 2.4(c).  In addition, the Sponsor shall be personally liable to Freddie Mac for indemnification obligations under Section 3.12.

(c) To the extent that the Sponsor has personal liability under this Section 9.11, Freddie Mac may exercise its rights against the Sponsor personally without regard to whether Freddie Mac has exercised any rights against the UCC Collateral or any other security or pursued any rights against any guarantor or pursued any other rights available to Freddie Mac under this Agreement, any other Sponsor Document or applicable law.

Section 9.12 Consent of Freddie Mac .  Whenever Freddie Mac shall have any right or option to exercise any  discretion, to determine any matter, to accept any presentation or to approve any matter, such exercise, determination, acceptance or approval shall, unless otherwise specifically provided, be in Freddie Mac’s sole and absolute discretion.

Section 9.13 Disclaimer; Acknowledgments .  Approval by Freddie Mac of the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, the Sponsor Documents, any Owner Documents, any Mortgaged Property, the Bonds, or otherwise shall not constitute a warranty or representation by Freddie Mac as to any matter.  Nothing set forth in this Agreement, in any of the other Sponsor Documents or in the subsequent conduct of the parties shall be deemed to constitute Freddie Mac as the partner or joint venturer of the Sponsor, any Sponsor Affiliate, or any Person for any purpose whatsoever.

Section 9.14 Entire Agreement .  This Agreement and the Sponsor Documents constitute the entire contract between the parties relative to the subject matter hereof.  Any previous agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof is superseded by this Agreement and the Sponsor Documents.  Nothing in this Agreement or the Sponsor Documents, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any party, other than the parties hereto and thereto, any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement or the Sponsor Documents; provided, however, that as to Persons other than Freddie Mac and the Sponsor that are parties to any of the Sponsor Documents, such Persons shall not have any rights, remedies, obligations or liabilities under this Agreement or any of the Sponsor Documents except under such Sponsor Documents to which such Persons are directly parties.

Section 9.16 Waiver of Claims .  IN ORDER TO INDUCE FREDDIE MAC TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER THE SERIES CERTIFICATE AGREEMENT, THE SPONSOR HEREBY REPRESENTS AND WARRANTS THAT IT HAS NO CLAIMS, SET-OFFS OR DEFENSES AS OF THE CLOSING DATE IN CONNECTION WITH THE TRANSACTIONS

59

CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY OF THE OTHER SPONSOR DOCUMENTS.  TO THE EXTENT ANY SUCH CLAIMS, SET-OFFS OR DEFENSES MAY EXIST, WHETHER KNOWN OR UNKNOWN, THEY ARE EACH HEREBY WAIVED AND RELINQUISHED IN THEIR ENTIRETY.

STANDARD TERMS OF THE

SERIES CERTIFICATE AGREEMENT

DATED AS OF AUGUST 1, 2018

The Multifamily M Certificates will represent undivided ownership interests in a pool of tax-exempt Bonds issued to finance multifamily affordable housing mortgages.  “Bonds” include tax-exempt mortgage loans or municipal securities issued for such purpose as well as custodial receipts, trust receipts or any other similar instruments evidencing an ownership interest in tax-exempt mortgage loans or municipal securities held in a pass-through arrangement.  Each offering of Multifamily M Certificates will be issued as a Series.  Each Series will be comprised of Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates that have different specified rights in the related Series Pool (the Class A Certificates and Class B Certificates, collectively, the “Certificates”).  Each Series Pool will be separate from each other Series Pool, and the Certificates of any Series will relate only to the assets of a single Series Pool.

Freddie Mac uses standard documentation and terms for the creation, issuance and sale of each Series of Certificates.  This documentation includes the Offering Circular and an Offering Circular Supplement for each Series and the Series Certificate Agreement.  The Series Certificate Agreement will incorporate the Standard Terms set forth below.  Freddie Mac will execute the Series Certificate Agreement in its corporate capacity and in its capacity as Administrator of the Series Pool.  In its corporate capacity, Freddie Mac will act as the Depositor, the Certificate Registrar, the Pledge Custodian, the guarantor and the liquidity provider, if applicable.  The Standard Terms provide that other entities may serve some of these functions (other than serving as guarantor or liquidity provider).

These Standard Terms will not be effective as to any Certificates until these Standard Terms are incorporated into a Series Certificate Agreement creating the related Series.  If a conflict arises between the provisions of a Series Certificate Agreement and these Standard Terms, the provisions of the Series Certificate Agreement will control.
