Premium for such Distribution Date.
Section 7. Collection of Certain Qualified Loan Payments. Section 4.05
of the Trust Agreement is amended by restating clause (v) thereof in its
entirety as follows:
"(v) Any Net Prepayment Premiums collected on the Qualified Loans."
Section 8. Termination of the Trust Fund. Section 9.01 of the Trust
Agreement is restated in its entirety as follows:
"The respective obligations and responsibilities of Farmer Mac and
the Trustee created hereby shall terminate upon the distribution to all
Holders of all amounts required to be distributed hereunder upon (i) the
repurchase by Farmer Mac of all Qualified Loans and REO Property remaining
in the Trust Fund at the Termination Price; (ii) the final payment of the
last Qualified Loan and/or REO Property remaining in the Trust Fund; or
(iii) distribution by Farmer Mac pursuant to the Farmer Mac Guarantee on
the Final Distribution Date for the Class of Certificates having the
latest Final Distribution Date of an amount sufficient to reduce the Class
Certificate Principal Balance of such Class to zero; provided, however,
that in no event shall any trust created hereby continue beyond the
expiration of 21 years from the death of the survivor of the descendants
of Joseph P. Kennedy, the late ambassador of the United States of America
to the Court of St. James's, living on the Cut-Off Date.
The right of Farmer Mac to repurchase all Qualified Loans and REO
Property in the Trust Fund pursuant to clause (i) above shall be subject
to the aggregate Scheduled Principal Balances of the Qualified Loans being
less than the Termination Percentage of the Scheduled Principal Balances
thereof as of the Cut-Off Date. Any such repurchase shall take place on a
Distribution Date for any then outstanding Class (regardless of whether
such Distribution Date constitutes a Distribution Date for all such
Classes of Certificates), and the proceeds of any such repurchase shall be
distributed to Holders of the applicable Classes of Certificates on such
Distribution Date, pro rata, in the first instance in respect of accrued
interest and then, as a distribution of principal.
In connection with any such termination, Farmer Mac shall make
available to financial publications and electronic services notice for the
benefit of Holders of Certificates to the effect that the final
distribution will be made on the Distribution Date therein specified to
Certificateholders of record on the applicable Record Date."
Section 9. Intended Classification. A new Section 11.06 is added to the
Trust Agreement as follows:
"Section 11.06. Intended Classification. It is intended that the Trust Fund
be classified for federal income tax purposes as an `investment trust' within
the meaning of Treasury Regulation 301.7701-4(c), and notwithstanding anything
to the contrary herein, the provisions of this Agreement shall be applied and
interpreted in a manner consistent with such intention, including, without
limitation, so as to circumscribe any right to exercise discretion granted to
Farmer Mac herein as to matters relating to the Qualified Loans."
