the
following amendment to this Agreement set forth in paragraphs (i)
to (vi)
below shall apply:
|
(i) The
definition of “Market Quotation” shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
“Market
Quotation”
means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions, a Firm
Offer
which is (1) made by a Reference Market-maker that is an Eligible
Replacement, (2) for an amount that would be paid to Party B (expressed
as
a negative number) or by Party B (expressed as a positive number)
in
consideration of an agreement between Party B and such Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the “Replacement
Transaction”)
that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic
equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation
was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each
applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i)
in
respect of such Terminated Transactions or group of Terminated
Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant
Early
Termination Date, have been required after that Date, (3) made
on the
basis that Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction
or
group of Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation,
any
payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination
Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable
condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be
included
and (4) made in respect of a Replacement Transaction with commercial
terms
substantially the same as those of this Agreement (save for the
exclusion
of provisions relating to Transactions that are not Terminated
Transactions).”
|
2
(ii) The
definition of “Settlement Amount” shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:
“Settlement
Amount”
means,
with respect to any Early Termination Date, an amount (as determined by Party
B)
equal to:
(a)
if,
on or
prior to such Early Termination Date, a Market Quotation for the relevant
Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions is accepted by
Party
B so as to become legally binding, the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the
amount (whether positive or negative) of such Market Quotation;
(b)
if,
on
such Early Termination Date, no Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions is accepted by Party B so
as to
become legally binding and one or more Market Quotations have been communicated
to Party B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance
by
Party B, the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether positive
or
negative) of the lowest of such Market Quotations;
(c)
if,
on
such Early Termination Date, no Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions is accepted by Party B so
as to
become legally binding and no Market Quotations have been communicated to
Party
B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by Party
B,
Party B’s Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to Unpaid
Amounts) for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions; and
(d)
at
any
time on or before such Early Termination Date at which two or more Market
Quotations have been communicated to Party B and remain capable of becoming
legally binding upon acceptance by Party B, Party B shall be entitled to
accept
only the lowest of such Market Quotations (for the avoidance of doubt, (i)
a
Market Quotation expressed as a negative number is lower than a Market Quotation
expressed as a positive number and (ii) the lower of two Market Quotations
expressed as negative numbers is the one with the largest absolute
value).“
(iii) For
the
purpose of sub-paragraph (4) of the definition of Market Quotation, Party B
shall determine in its sole discretion, acting in a commercially reasonable
manner, whether a Firm Offer is made in respect of a Replacement Transaction
with commercial terms substantially the same as those of this Agreement (save
for the exclusion of provisions relating to Transactions that are not Terminated
Transactions).
3
(iv) Party
B
undertakes to use its reasonable efforts to obtain at least one Market Quotation
before the Early Termination Date.
(v) If
Party
B requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations, Party A shall
use its
reasonable efforts to do so before the Early Termination Date.
(vi) If
the
Settlement Amount is a negative number, Section 6(e)(i)(3) of this Agreement
shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
“Second
Method and Market Quotation”.
If
Second Method and Market Quotation apply, (1) Party B shall pay to Party
A an
amount equal to the absolute value of the Settlement Amount in respect of
the
Terminated Transactions, (2) Party B shall pay to Party A the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Party A and (3) Party
A shall
pay to Party B the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts
owing
to Party B, provided that, (i) the amounts payable under (2) and (3) shall
be
subject to netting in accordance with Section 2(c) of this Agreement and
(ii)
notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, any amount payable
by
Party A under (3) shall not be netted-off against any amount payable by Party
B
under (1).”
