On behalf of the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of Freddie Mac’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), this memorandum sets forth Freddie Mac’s agreement to employ you as its Senior Vice President-Investments and Capital Markets (“I&CM”), effective July 9, 2013, pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth herein. The terms and conditions set forth herein have been approved by the Committee and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (“FHFA”) and supersede any previous communications you may have had with Freddie Mac, FHFA, or the United States Department of Treasury (“Treasury”).

As Freddie Mac’s Senior Vice President-I&CM, you shall report to me, Freddie Mac’s Chief Executive Officer, or my successor, and have the same status, privileges, and responsibilities normally inherent in such capacity in corporations of similar size and character. You shall also perform such additional duties as the Board may from time to time reasonably assign to you.

Our Compliance Division has approved your continued participation in the development and publication of a series of academic articles and a book. Beyond this, your agree to not be engaged in any other business activity unless permitted under our Outside Employment and Other Outside Activities Policy. This restriction shall not prevent you from devoting a reasonable amount of time to charitable or public interest activities or from making passive investments of your assets in such form or manner as you desire, consistent with Freddie Mac’s Personal Securities Investment policy.

Your compensation is governed by the 2013 Executive Management Compensation Program (“2013 EMCP”). To participate in the 2013 EMCP, you must agree to the terms of the 2013 EMCP Program Document and a Recapture and Forfeiture Agreement, both of which are enclosed. The 2013 EMCP Program Document outlines the terms and conditions of our compensation program for senior executives, while the Recapture and Forfeiture Agreement describes the circumstances under which certain compensation is subject to forfeiture and repayment. In the event that you do not agree to the terms of either or both documents, you will be paid only Base Salary.

Your target total direct compensation (“Target TDC”) will be $2,000,000, which will be pro-rated in the first calendar year of employment based on your agreed upon hire date. Your Target TDC will consist of two components - Base Salary and Deferred Salary - which are

summarized below.

Base Salary - Base Salary is paid in cash. The annualized amount of your Base Salary is $500,000.

Deferred Salary - Deferred Salary is earned on a semi-monthly basis. The amount earned in each quarter is paid in cash on the last business day of the corresponding quarter of the following calendar year. The annualized amount of your Deferred Salary is $1,500,000 and is comprised of the following two components:

You will be eligible to participate in all employee benefit plans offered to Freddie Mac’s senior executive officers (as may be modified or terminated from time to time by Freddie Mac in its sole discretion) pursuant to the terms set forth in the applicable plan. In summary, our current benefit plans consist of the following:

This contribution, which is in addition to the matching contribution, is determined using a defined formula and is subject to a three-year vesting schedule.

The terms of your compensation provided in this letter are also contingent upon your agreement to be bound by the terms of the enclosed Restrictive Covenant and Confidentiality Agreement.

The terms and conditions of your compensation have been reviewed and approved by FHFA in consultation with Treasury, as required under the terms of the company’s Preferred Stock Agreement. Notwithstanding such approval and any provision of this letter, you acknowledge and understand that any compensation paid or to be paid during or after your employment remains subject to any withholding, escrow or prohibition consistent with FHFA’s authority pursuant to the Federal Home Loan Corporation Act, as amended, or the Federal Housing Enterprises Financial Safety and Soundness Act of 1992, as amended.

This letter is not intended, nor shall it be interpreted, to constitute a contract of employment for a specified duration.

This offer of employment is contingent upon Freddie Mac’s satisfaction in its sole discretion with your references and the results of your background checks and drug test.
