Dear Sir / Madam:

The purpose of this letter agreement (this “Confirmation”) is to confirm the terms and conditions of the above-referenced transaction entered into between Counterparty and ML through its agent Xxxxxxx Lynch, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx & Xxxxx Incorporated (“MLPFS” or “Agent”) on the Trade Date specified below (the “Transaction”). This Confirmation constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred to in the Agreement specified below.

The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “Swap Definitions”) and the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (the “Equity Definitions” and, together with the Swap Definitions, the “Definitions”), in each case as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation. In the event of any inconsistency between the Swap Definitions and the Equity Definitions, the Equity Definitions will govern, and in the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will govern. References herein to a “Transaction” shall be deemed to be references to a “Share Option Transaction” for the purposes of the Equity Definitions and to a “Swap Transaction” for the purposes of the Swap Definitions.

This Confirmation evidences a complete binding agreement between you and us as to the terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. This Confirmation (notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein), shall be subject to an agreement in the 1992 form of the ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency Cross Border) (the “Master Agreement” or “Agreement”) as if we had executed an agreement in such form (but without any Schedule and with elections specified in the “ISDA Master Agreement” Section of this Confirmation) on the Trade Date of the first such Transaction between us.

In the event that Counterparty does not so notify ML, this Transaction shall be settled pursuant to the Default Settlement Method provision below.

Net Physical Settlement Amount:		With respect to the Valuation Date, an amount, as calculated by the Calculation Agent, equal to the Number of Warrants multiplied by the Exercise Price Differential.
Exercise Price Differential:		In respect of the Valuation Date, an amount equal to the greater of: (a) the excess, if any, of the Settlement Price over the Exercise Price, and (b) zero.
Net Physical Settlement Adjustment:		Subject to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount, if ML receives any Delivered Shares under this Transaction:
		(a) ML shall sell the Delivered Shares in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by ML for the sale of the Shares (the “Proceeds Amount”) is equal to the Net Physical Settlement Amount. Any remaining Delivered Shares shall be returned to Counterparty.
		(b) If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Net Physical Settlement Amount, Counterparty shall promptly deliver upon notice from ML additional Shares to ML until the dollar amount from the sale of such Shares by ML equals the difference between the Net Physical Settlement Amount and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to ML a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.
Conditions to Net Physical Settlement:		(1) At least 15 Full Exchange Business Days prior to the Expiration Date, Counterparty shall (i) make available to ML an effective registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) filed pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and such prospectuses as ML

3

may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements (the “Prospectus”) for the resale by ML of such number of Shares as ML shall reasonably specify, such Registration Statement to be effective and Prospectus to be current until the earliest of the date on which (A) all Delivered Shares have been sold by ML or returned to Counterparty pursuant to the Net Physical Settlement Adjustment provision above or (B) ML has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective (the “Registration Period”) or (ii) Counterparty has provided a legal opinion in form and substance satisfactory to ML (with customary assumptions and exceptions) that the Shares issuable upon exercise of these Warrants will be freely tradable under the Securities Act upon delivery to ML and not subject to any legend restricting transferability. It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares reasonably estimated by ML to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Net Physical Settlement hereunder;

In addition, the following representation, which Counterparty shall be deemed to make on each day during the Registration Period, shall be true and correct:

“Counterparty represents that the Registration Statement, at the time the same became effective, did not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; Counterparty represents the Prospectus (as the same may be supplemented from time to time) does not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.”

(2) At least 10 Full Exchange Business Days prior to the Expiration Date, Counterparty will enter into a Registration Rights Agreement with ML in form and substance reasonably acceptable to ML, which agreement will contain among other things, customary representations and warranties and indemnification and other rights relating to the registration of a number of Shares equal to the number of Delivered Shares and others Shares deliverable hereunder up to the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

(3) Counterparty shall promptly pay to ML a $0.02 per Share fee for each Delivered Share.

In the event Counterparty fails to comply with any of the conditions set forth in “Net Physical Settlement Terms” herein, Counterparty shall settle the Transaction through Cash Settlement; provided however, that notwithstanding the foregoing, if Counterparty shall have been unable to obtain an effective Registration Statement by the Cash Settlement Payment Date, then upon notice to ML, Counterparty may deliver to ML unregistered Shares in an amount determined by ML based upon its commercially reasonable judgment of the market value of such Shares. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to ML a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to any Delivered Shares delivered hereunder, in the event that ML is unable to sell such Shares on the Exchange without incurring material additional transaction costs, Counterparty shall promptly pay in cash or Shares an additional amount to ML equal to 2% of the Exercise Price.

4

Limitations on Net Physical Settlement by Counterparty:		The total number of Shares that may be delivered at settlement by Counterparty with respect to this Transaction and the Transaction described in the Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction between the Counterparty and ML dated as of November 16, 2005, shall not exceed two times the sum of the total number of Warrants covered by this Transaction and such other Transaction and in any event the sum of such Shares for both Transactions shall not exceed 19.5% of the Counterparty’s outstanding Shares on the Effective Date (“Maximum Deliverable Share Amount”).
		Counterparty represents and warrants that the number of Available Shares as of the Trade Date is greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount. Counterparty covenants and agrees that Counterparty shall not take any action of corporate governance or otherwise to reduce the number of Available Shares below the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.
		For this purpose, “Available Shares” means the number of Shares Counterparty currently has authorized (but not issued and outstanding) less the maximum number of Shares that may be required to be issued by Counterparty in connection with stock options, convertibles, and other commitments of Counterparty that may require the issuance or delivery of Shares in connection therewith.
Adjustments:
Dividends:
Extraordinary Dividends:		Any and all dividends paid by Counterparty.
Method of Adjustment:		Calculation Agent Adjustment
Extraordinary Events:
Consequences of Merger Events:		(a) Share-for-Share:		Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment
		(b) Share-for-Other:		Cancellation and Payment, except in the case of a Merger Event falling within clause (iii) of the definition of Merger Event that is not made by Counterparty or to which Counterparty does not agree (each such event, an “Exceptional Merger Event”), in which case the Cancellation Amount is determined as provided under Determination of Exceptional Cancellation Amount
		Agreed Model:		Applicable, except in the case of an Exceptional Merger Event in which case Not Applicable.
		Interest Rate:		USD-LIBOR-BBA
		(c) Share-for-Combined:		Component Adjustment, except in the case of an Exceptional Merger Event, in which case Component Adjustment with respect to Share consideration and with respect to all non-Share consideration, payment of a Cancellation Amount is determined as provided under Determination of Exceptional Cancellation Amount and treated as provided for in Cancellation and Payment
Determination of Exceptional Cancellation Amount:		Counterparty will pay ML the Cancellation Amount, when applicable as provided herein, determined, by reference to the table set forth in Schedule I (the “Unwind Value Table”), as follows:
		(1) The value in USD of the non-Share consideration payable in the applicable Merger Event shall be termed the “Applicable Price”. The number of full months between the Early Termination Date and the Expiration Date is termed “Months to Expiration”. The term “Intrinsic Value” shall mean the excess, if any, of the Applicable Price over the Exercise Price.

5

(2) If Applicable Price equals a row in the Unwind Value Table and if the Months to Expiration is equal to a column of the Unwind Table, the Unwind Value located at the row and column equal to the Applicable Price and the Months to Expiration.

(3) If the Applicable Price falls between two Applicable Price rows in the Unwind Value Table or the Months to Expiration falls between two Months to Expiration columns in the Unwind Value Table, the Unwind Value will be determined by straight-line interpolation between the Unwind Values set forth for the higher and lower Applicable Price rows and the two Months to Expiration columns, as applicable.

(4) If the Applicable Price is greater then the largest row in the Unwind Value Table, the Unwind Value obtained by adding to the Intrinsic Value the amount set forth in the Unwind Value Table in the column equal to the Months to Expiration (and if the Months to Expiration falls between two columns in the Unwind Value Table, the amount obtained by straight-line interpolation between the two Months to Expiration columns).

(5) The Unwind Value is per Warrant and the Cancellation Amount, which shall be paid by Counterparty to ML, is equal to the product of the number of Warrants times the Unwind Value determined above.

(6) ML and Counterparty agree that actual damages would be difficult to ascertain under these circumstances and that the amount of liquidated damages resulting from the determination of the Cancellation Amount is a good faith estimate of such damages and not a penalty.

(7) In the case of Calculation Agent Adjustment or Modified Calculation Agent Adjustment permitted hereunder, the Unwind Value Table will be subject to adjustment as provided in Section 11.2(c) of the Equity Definitions (in the case of a Potential Adjustment Event) or the applicable provision of Article 12 of the Equity Definitions (in the case of an Extraordinary Event to the extent it does not result in Cancellation and Payment).

With respect to any Extraordinary Events hereunder, upon the occurrence of Cancellation and Payment in whole or in part, the parties agree that the amount to be paid, in accordance with the Equity Definitions, shall constitute a Transaction Early Termination Amount, subject to satisfaction by the payment or delivery of Shares or cash as set forth in the Early Termination section below.

Tender Offer:		Not Applicable
Nationalization:		Cancellation and Payment
Insolvency or Delisting:		Cancellation and Payment, Cancellation Amount determined as provided under Determination of Exceptional Cancellation Amount

		“Termination Price” means the closing price per Share on the Exchange on the Early Termination Date.

7

A number of Shares calculated as being due in respect of any Early Termination Stock Settlement will be deliverable on the third Full Exchange Business Day following the date that notice pursuant to Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement specifying the number of Shares deliverable is effective. Section 6(d)(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following words after the word “paid” in the fifth line thereof: “or any delivery is to be made, as applicable.”

If ML receives Shares in connection with an Early Termination Stock Settlement, ML shall sell such Shares in a commercially reasonable manner until the amount received by ML for the sale of such Shares (net of transaction costs) (the “Proceeds Amount”) is equal to the Transaction Early Termination Amount. Any remaining Shares shall be returned to Counterparty. If the Proceeds Amount is less than the Transaction Early Termination Amount, Counterparty shall promptly deliver additional Shares to ML upon request until the dollar amount from the sale of such additional Shares by ML (net of transaction costs) equals the difference between the Transaction Early Termination Amount and the Proceeds Amount. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to ML a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

On or prior to the Early Termination Date (if Early Termination Stock Settlement is elected), Counterparty shall enter into a registration rights agreement with ML in form and substance reasonably acceptable to ML and shall satisfy the conditions contained therein and Counterparty shall file and diligently pursue to effectiveness a Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act. If and when such Registration Statement shall have been declared effective by the Commission, Counterparty shall have made available to ML such Prospectuses as ML may reasonably request to comply with the applicable prospectus delivery requirements for the resale by ML of such number of Shares as ML shall specify (or, if greater, the number of Shares that Counterparty shall specify). Such Registration Statement shall be effective and Prospectus shall be current until the earliest of the date on which (A) all Shares delivered by Counterparty in connection with an Early Termination Date and all Shares held by ML for hedging purposes have been sold by ML or (B) ML has advised Counterparty that it no longer requires that such Registration Statement be effective (the “Termination Registration Period”). It is understood that the Registration Statement and Prospectus will cover a number of Shares reasonably estimated by ML to be potentially deliverable by Counterparty in connection with Early Termination Stock Settlement hereunder. On each day during the Registration Period Counterparty shall represent that each of its filings under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or other applicable securities laws that are required to be filed have been filed and that, as of the respective dates thereof and as of the date of this representation, there is no misstatement of a material fact contained therein or omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

If Counterparty is unable to deliver Shares subject to an effective Registration Statement as set forth above, Counterparty may deliver unregistered Shares in an amount determined by ML based upon its commercially reasonable judgment of the market value of such Shares. In no event shall Counterparty be required to deliver to ML a number of Shares greater than the Maximum Deliverable Share Amount.

Additional Agreements, Representations and Covenants of Counterparty, Etc.:

(a) Counterparty hereby represents and warrants to ML, on each day from the Trade Date to and including the date by which ML is able to initially complete a hedge of its position created by this Transaction, that:

(1) it will not, and will not permit any person or entity subject to its control to, bid for or purchase Shares during such period except as disclosed in the Offering Memorandum relating to the Reference Notes, provided, however, that such period shall not exceed sixty (60) days; and

(2) it has publicly disclosed all material information necessary for it to be able to purchase or sell Shares in compliance with applicable law and that it has publicly disclosed all material information with respect to its condition (financial or otherwise) to the extent required by applicable law.

(b) The parties hereby agree that all documentation with respect to this Transaction is intended to qualify this Transaction as an equity instrument for purposes of EITF 00-19.

(c) No collateral shall be required by either party for any reason in connection with this Transaction.

(d) ML may elect to defer exercise of any Warrant hereunder as provided below, and Automatic Exercise shall not apply with respect to any Warrant, to the extent the exercise of such Warrant would cause ML to become, directly or indirectly, the beneficial owner of more than 8.5 percent of the class of the Counterparty’s equity securities that is comprised of the Shares for purposes of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (in such case, an “Excess Share Owner”).

ML shall provide prior notice to Counterparty, through the Agent, if the exercise of any Warrant hereunder would cause ML to become directly or indirectly, an Excess Share Owner; provided that the failure of ML to provide such notice shall not alter the effectiveness of the provisions set forth in the preceding sentence and any purported exercise in violation of such provisions shall be void and have no effect.

If ML elects not to exercise any Warrant because such exercise would cause ML to become, directly or indirectly, an Excess Share Owner and ML thereafter disposes of Shares owned by it or any action is taken that would then permit ML to exercise such Warrant without such exercise causing it to become, directly or indirectly, an Excess Share Owner, then ML shall provide notice of the taking of such action to Counterparty, through the Agent, and such Warrant shall then become exercisable by ML to the extent such Warrant is otherwise or had otherwise become exercisable hereunder. In such event, the Expiration Date with respect to such Warrant shall be the date on which Counterparty receives such notice from ML, and the related Settlement Date shall be as soon as reasonably practicable after receipt of such notice but no more than three (3) Business Days thereafter (but in no event shall the Settlement Date occur prior to the date on which it would have otherwise occurred but for the provisions of this paragraph (d)); provided that the related Net Physical Settlement Amount shall be the same as the Net Physical Settlement Amount but for the provisions of this paragraph (d). In addition, within 30 days of the maturity date of the Settlement Date, Counterparty shall use its reasonable efforts to refrain from activities which could reasonably be expected to result in ML’s ownership of Shares exceeding 10% of all issued and outstanding Shares.

(e) ML hereby agrees that from the Trade Date through to and including each Settlement Date, it will:

(1) use its reasonable efforts to not become an “affiliate” of Counterparty as such term is defined in Regulation 144(a)(1) under the Securities Act;

11

(2) not vote any Shares, as to which it has the right to exercise a vote; and

(3) not permit any director, officer, employee, agent or affiliate of ML to serve as a member of the board of directors of Counterparty.

As of the date hereof, Counterparty is not insolvent.

15

(b) a party’s right to liquidate this Transaction and to exercise any other remedies upon the occurrence of any Event of Default under the Agreement with respect to the other party to constitute a “contractual right” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code; and

Section 6(d)(ii) is further modified by deleting the words “two Local Business Days” in the fourth line thereof and substituting therefor “three Local Business Days.”

Amendment of Definition of Reference Market-Makers. The definition of “Reference Market-Makers” in Section 14 is hereby amended by adding in clause (a) after the word “credit” and before the word “and” the words “or to enter into transactions similar in nature to Transactions.”

Consent to Recording. Each party consents to the recording of the telephone conversations of trading and marketing personnel of the parties and their Affiliates in connection with this Confirmation.

The Recording Party’s tapes may be used by either party in any forum in which a dispute is sought to be resolved and the Recording Party will retain tapes for a consistent period of time in accordance with the Recording Party’s policy unless one party notifies the other that a particular transaction is under review and warrants further retention.

Disclosure. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that ML has authorized Counterparty to disclose this Transaction and any related hedging transaction between the parties if and to the extent that Counterparty reasonably determines (after consultation with ML) that such disclosure is required by law or by the rules of Nasdaq or any securities exchange.

Affected Parties. For purposes of Section 6(e) of the Agreement, each party shall be deemed to be an Affected Party in connection with Illegality and any Tax Event.

EXHIBIT A

GUARANTEE OF XXXXXXX XXXXX & CO., INC.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, XXXXXXX XXXXX & CO., INC., a corporation duly organized and existing under the laws of the State of Delaware (“ML & Co.”), hereby unconditionally guarantees to The Pantry, Inc., Inc. (the “Company”), the due and punctual payment of any and all amounts payable by Xxxxxxx Xxxxx International, a company organized under the laws of England and Wales (“ML”), under the terms of the Confirmation of OTC Warrant Transaction between the Company and ML, dated as of November 21, 2005 (the “Confirmation”), including, in case of default, interest on any amount due, when and as the same shall become due and payable, whether on the scheduled payment dates, at maturity, upon declaration of termination or otherwise, according to the terms thereof. In case of the failure of ML punctually to make any such payment, ML & Co. hereby agrees to make such payment, or cause such payment to be made, promptly upon demand made by the Company to ML & Co.; provided, however that delay by the Company in giving such demand shall in no event affect ML & Co.’s obligations under this Guarantee. This Guarantee shall remain in full force and effect or shall be reinstated (as the case may be) if at any time any payment guaranteed hereunder, in whole or in part, is rescinded or must otherwise be returned by the Company upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of ML or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made.

ML & Co. hereby agrees that its obligations hereunder shall be unconditional, irrespective of the validity, regularity or enforceability of the Confirmation; the absence of any action to enforce the same; any waiver or consent by the Company concerning any provisions thereof; the rendering of any judgment against ML or any action to enforce the same; or any other circumstances that might otherwise constitute a legal or equitable discharge of a guarantor or a defense of a guarantor. ML & Co. covenants that this guarantee will not be discharged except by complete payment of the amounts payable under the Confirmation. This Guarantee shall continue to be effective if XX xxxxxx or consolidates with or into another entity, loses its separate legal identity or ceases to exist.

ML & Co. hereby waives diligence; presentment; protest; notice of protest, acceleration, and dishonor; filing of claims with a court in the event of insolvency or bankruptcy of ML; all demands whatsoever, except as noted in the first paragraph hereof; and any right to require a proceeding first against ML.

ML & Co. hereby certifies and warrants that this Guarantee constitutes the valid obligation of ML & Co. and complies with all applicable laws.

This Guarantee shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

This Guarantee may be terminated at any time by notice by ML & Co. to the Company given in accordance with the notice provisions of the Confirmation, effective upon receipt of such notice by the Company or such later date as may be specified in such notice; provided, however, that this Guarantee shall continue in full force and effect with respect to any obligation of ML under the Confirmation entered into prior to the effectiveness of such notice of termination.

This Guarantee becomes effective concurrent with the effectiveness of the Confirmation, according to its terms.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, ML & Co. has caused this Guarantee to be executed in its corporate name by its duly authorized representative.

COVER STATEMENT

CLIENT/COUNTERPARTY RELATIONSHIP

Dear Client/Counterparty:

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is pleased to provide the attached statement of Generic Risks Associated with Over-the-Counter Derivative Transactions under this Cover Statement that concerns, among other things, the nature of our relationship with you in the context of such transactions. This statement was developed for our new and our ongoing client/counterparties in response to suggestions that OTC derivative dealers consider taking steps to ensure that market participants utilizing OTC derivatives understand their risk exposures and the nature of their relationships with dealers before they enter into OTC derivative transactions.

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx (“we”) are providing to you and your organization (“you”) the attached statement of Generic Risks Associated with Over-the-Counter Derivative in order to identify, in general terms, certain of the principal risks associated with individually negotiated over-the-counter (“OTC”) derivative transactions. The attached statement does not purport to identify the nature of the specific market or other risks associated with a particular transaction.

Before entering into an OTC derivative transaction, you should ensure that you fully understand the terms of the transaction, relevant risk factors, the nature and extent of your risk of loss and the nature of the contractual relationship into which you are entering. You should also carefully evaluate whether the transaction is appropriate for you in light of your experience, objectives, financial resources, and other relevant circumstances and whether you have the operational resources in place to monitor the associated risks and contractual obligations over the term of the transaction. If you are acting as a financial adviser or agent, you should evaluate these considerations in light of the circumstances applicable to your principal and the scope of your authority.

If you believe you need assistance in evaluating and understanding the terms or risks of a particular OTC derivative transaction, you should consult appropriate advisers before entering into the transaction.

Unless we have expressly agreed in writing to act as your adviser with respect to a particular OTC derivative transaction pursuant to terms and conditions specifying the nature and scope of our advisory relationship, we are acting in the capacity of an arm’s length contractual counterparty to you in connection with the transaction and not as your financial adviser or fiduciary. Accordingly, unless we have so agreed to act as your adviser, you should not regard transaction proposals, suggestions or other written or oral communications from us as recommendations or advice or as expressing our view as to whether a particular transaction is appropriate for you or meets your financial objectives.

Finally, we and/or our affiliates may from time to time take proprietary positions and/or make a market in instruments identical or economically related to OTC derivative transactions entered into with you, or may have an investment banking or other commercial relationship with and access to information from the issuer(s) of securities, financial instruments, or other interests underlying OTC derivative transactions entered into with you. We may also undertake proprietary activities, including hedging transactions related to the initiation or termination of an OTC derivative transaction with you, that may adversely affect the market price, rate index or other market factor(s) underlying an OTC derivative transaction entered into with you and consequently the value of the transaction.

GENERIC RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH

OVER-THE-COUNTER DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS

OTC derivative transactions, like other financial transactions, involve a variety of significant risks. The specific risks presented by a particular OTC derivative transaction necessarily depend upon the terms of the transaction and your circumstances. In general, however, all OTC derivative transactions involve some combination of market risk, credit risk, funding risk and operational risk.

Market risk is the risk that the value of a transaction will be adversely affected by fluctuations in the level or volatility of or correlation or relationship between one or more market prices, rates or indices or other market factors or by illiquidity in the market for the relevant transaction or in a related market.

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform its obligations to you when due.

Funding risk is the risk that, as a result of mismatches or delays in the timing of cash flows due from or to your counterparties in OTC derivative transactions or related hedging, trading, collateral or other transactions, you or your counterparty will not have adequate cash available to fund current obligations.

Operational risk is the risk of loss to you arising from inadequacies in or failures of your internal systems and controls for monitoring and quantifying the risks and contractual obligations associated with OTC derivative transactions, for recording and valuing OTC derivative and related transactions, or for detecting human error, systems failure or management failure.

There may be other significant risks that you should consider based on the terms of a specific transaction. Highly customized OTC derivative transactions in particular may increase liquidity risk and introduce other significant risk factors of a complex character. Highly leveraged transactions may experience substantial gains or losses in value as a result of relatively small changes in the value or level of an underlying or related market factor.

Because the price and other terms on which you may enter into or terminate an OTC derivative transaction are individually negotiated, these may not represent the best price or terms available to you from other sources.

In evaluating the risks and contractual obligations associated with a particular OTC derivative transaction, you should also consider that an OTC derivative transaction may be modified or terminated only by mutual consent of the original parties and subject to agreement on individually negotiated terms. Accordingly, it may not be possible for you to modify, terminate or offset your obligations or your exposure to the risks associated with a transaction prior to its scheduled termination date.

Similarly, while market makers and dealers generally quote prices or terms for entering into or terminating OTC derivative transactions and provide indicative or mid-market quotations with respect to outstanding OTC derivative transactions, they are generally not contractually obligated to do so. In addition, it may not be possible to obtain indicative or mid-market quotations for an OTC derivative transaction from a market maker or dealer that is not a counterparty to the transaction. Consequently, it may also be difficult for you to establish an independent value for an outstanding OTC derivative transaction. You should not regard your counterparty’s provision of a valuation or indicative price at your request as an offer to enter into or terminate the relevant transaction at that value or price, unless the value or price is identified by the counterparty as firm or binding.

This brief statement does not purport to disclose all of the risks and other material considerations associated with OTC derivative transactions. You should not construe this generic disclosure statement as business, legal, tax or accounting advice or as modifying applicable law. You should consult your own business, legal, tax and accounting advisers with respect to proposed OTC derivative transactions and you should refrain from entering into any OTC derivative transaction unless you have fully understood the terms and risks of the transaction, including the extent of your potential risk of loss.
