UBS will provide each Dealer with such authorization and other agreements and instruments as it deems appropriate in order to permit Trading Advisors for and on behalf of Customer to execute Authorized Transactions with the Dealers in the name of UBS in accordance with the terms hereof. |

Company for and on behalf of Customer further acknowledges and agrees that such dealing lines may be changed by UBS in its sole discretion at any time without prior notice; provided that such change in dealing lines will not affect any Transactions entered into prior to such change.

In the event that UBS does not establish or maintain adequate dealing lines for the Facility, Customer’s only remedy shall be to terminate this Agreement. Solely with respect, to sufficiency or availability of dealing lines, Customer waives all other claims and remedies against UBS. |

| (c) | UBS will establish trading limits for each Dealer, and advise Trading Advisor for and on behalf of Customer of those limits. Customer agrees to limit the Authorized Transactions with each Dealer in such a manner as UBS may from time to time specify. Customer acknowledges and agrees that Transactions exceeding such limits shall not be binding on UBS unless and until UBS accepts such Transactions. UBS maintains the right to refuse to accept any Transactions which exceed the Net Open Position Limit or Exotic Notional Limit and Customer will indemnify UBS for any claims by Dealer as a result of UBS’s exercise of its rights under this clause 2(c), except to the extent that such claim results from the gross negligence, willful misconduct or fraud of UBS. In the event that UBS accepts a Transaction which exceeded the Net Open Position Limit or the Exotic Notional Limit, Company for and on behalf of Customer agrees that UBS may, in its sole and absolute discretion and with two (2) hour prior notice, liquidate all or part of the corresponding Customer Contract (as defined below) for the account of the Customer, in order to reduce Customer’s Net Open Position to below the agreed Net Open Position Limit or reduce Customer’s utilization of Exotic Notional Limit. |
| (d) | Customer agrees to promptly pay UBS such fees set forth in the attached Fee Schedule (as such Schedule may be amended from time to time by UBS and Customer). |
| 3. | Transaction Confirmations |
| (a) | When Customer enters into an Authorized Transaction with a Dealer in the name of UBS under the Master FX Give-up Agreement, Customer and UBS will be deemed to have automatically entered into a Transaction (the “Customer Contract”) on identical terms, except that UBS’s position as buyer or seller of the Transaction will be the reverse of its position with Dealer. The foregoing is subject to UBS’s right to refuse to accept a trade under the terms of this Agreement and any Master FX Give-Up Agreement. |
| (b) | The Customer Contracts shall be governed by the CP ISDA Master Agreement. |
| (c) | Throughout each New York business day, Trading Advisor, acting on behalf of Customer, will give electronic, telephone or other acceptable notice to UBS of all Authorized Transactions entered into that day in the name of UBS or that no Authorized Transactions occurred on that day. |
| (d) | Except as otherwise provided in clause 3(f), once an Authorized Transaction with a Dealer is entered into in the name of UBS and accepted by UBS, Customer shall have no right to amend, cancel or otherwise affect or interfere with any such Transactions, which shall be the sole responsibility of UBS. |
| (e) | Customer acknowledges and agrees that Dealer will be the calculation agent/determination agent for Exotic Options and any dispute that Customer may have as to the occurrence of a barrier event (e.g. knock-out, kick-in, binary, however described,) shall be solely between Customer and Dealer and Customer acknowledges and agrees that Prime Broker shall have no role therein and shall be entitled to act, and Customer shall not prevent in any way Prime Broker from taking any action, upon the Notice of Barrier Event as if no dispute existed. Solely for the purpose of calculation agent/determination agent as defined in a Confirmation for an Exotic Option transacted between Customer and Dealer and given-up in accordance with this Agreement and notwithstanding anything to the contrary stated in such Confirmation, the calculation agent/determination agent shall be Dealer. |
| (f) | Notwithstanding any terms of a Confirmation or Master Agreement that may be to the contrary, if Customer has entered into a transaction on behalf of UBS in which UBS is the buyer of an Option, such Option may be exercised by delivery of a Notice of Exercise by Customer to Dealer which executed such Option which shall constitute exercise by UBS. If Customer has entered into a transaction on behalf of UBS in which UBS is the seller of an Option, such Option will only be exercised by the simultaneous delivery of a Notice of Exercise by Dealer which executed such Option to each of Customer and UBS. |
| (g) | For the purposes of Non-Deliverable FX Transactions and Non-Deliverable Currency Options Transactions, the calculation agent for the transaction between UBS and Customer shall be as specified in the relevant Confirmation. |
| 4. | Representations |
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a transaction is entered into) that:
| (a) | It is duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing; |
| (b) | It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party, to deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement that is required by this Agreement to deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and has taken all necessary action to authorize such execution, delivery and performance; |
3
| (c) | Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets; |
| (d) | All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and |
| (e) | Its obligations under this Agreement constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)). |
| 5. | Indemnification |
Customer agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend UBS, its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, successors and assigns, from and against any and all claims, damages, costs, losses and liabilities (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), which may at any time be asserted against or incurred by UBS based upon, arising from or in connection with this Agreement, the Facility and any action or inaction on the part of Customer under this Agreement, including but not limited to, (i) any material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Customer contained in this Agreement; (ii) any failure of Customer to comply with applicable law; (iii) Customer’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; (iv) any claim by a Dealer in respect of an Authorized Transaction; and (v) any indemnification which UBS has given to a Dealer; except to the extent that the claim, damages, costs, losses and liabilities are due to the gross negligence, wilful misconduct or fraud by UBS.
| 6. | General Provisions |
| (a) | This Agreement shall continue to be effective or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment or performance of any liabilities is rescinded or must otherwise be returned or unwound by UBS upon insolvency, bankruptcy, or reorganization of Customer, or otherwise, all as though such payment had not been made. |
| (b) | This Agreement may be terminated by either party without cause, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice; provide that UBS may terminate this Agreement with respect to any Trading Advisor without prior notice (a “Termination Notice”). Termination will not affect any outstanding rights and obligations under this Agreement concerning any Transactions entered into prior to a Termination Notice, and such rights and obligations shall continue to be governed by this Agreement and the particular terms agreed between UBS and Customer in relation to such Transactions until all obligations have been fully performed. |
| (c) | No indulgence or concession granted by either party and no omission or delay on the part of a party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. |
| (d) | The provisions of the FX Definitions are hereby incorporated in their entirety and shall apply to all Transactions entered into or deemed to be entered into between (i) UBS and Dealers and (ii) UBS and Customer, whether or not so stated in a confirmation of any such Transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, UBS will be permitted to disclose the Confidential Information or any portion thereof upon the request of any government or regulatory body having or claiming to have authority to regulate or oversee any aspect of UBS’s business or that of its affiliates, but UBS agrees to advise them of the confidential nature of such information and request confidential treatment of such information and will give Customer at least five (5) day prior written notice of the information to be disclosed to the extent that such notice is reasonable, practical and permissible. This section is not intended to prevent UBS from disclosing its own investment performance or financial results where that information is based in part on corresponding information about Customer, and the recipient of the disclosure would not reasonably be able to ascertain Customer’s investment performance or financial results from the disclosure |
4
(ii) Customer hereby consents to UBS effecting such disclosure to third party dealers of Customer’s identity and the identity of its Trading Advisor, as well as information concerning the types of Transactions UBS will agree to transact with Customer and any restrictions to such Transactions as UBS may deem appropriate, to enable UBS to transfer Customer’s records and information, to process and execute Customer’s instructions.

Attachment 1

| (A) | for each Tier 1 Currency, UBS shall identify Transactions that have the same value date, and: |
| (I) | for each Tier 1 Currency, UBS shall net (or aggregate, as the case may be) the Net Currency Position for FX Transactions and Delta Equivalent Position for Currency Option Transactions (after giving effect to the netting provisions of the definition of “Netted Option”) for each value date, and determine the sum of such amounts for all value dates; |
| (II) | for each Tier 1 Currency, UBS shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent (calculated by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner) of the amount calculated in clause (i)(A)(I); and |
| (III) | UBS shall calculate the sum of the amounts determined for each Tier 1 Currency pursuant to clause (i)(A)(II). |
| (B) | for Transactions involving Tier 1 Currencies that do not have the same value date,: |
| (I) | for each Tier 1 Currency, UBS shall net (or aggregate, as the case may be) the Net Currency Position for FX Transactions and the Delta Equivalent Position for Currency Option Transactions (after giving effect to the netting provisions of the definition of “Netted Option”) for all value dates for all such Transactions; |
| (II) | for each Tier 1 Currency, UBS shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent (calculated by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner) of the amount calculated in clause (i)(B)(I); and |
| (III) | UBS shall calculate the sum of the amounts determined for each Tier 1 Currency pursuant to clause (i)(B)(II). |
(ii) for Transactions involving Tier 2 Currencies, UBS shall:
| (A) | for each Tier 2 Currency, UBS shall determine the sum of: (x) the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner) of the aggregate Net Currency Position for all FX Transactions involving such Tier 2 Currency and (y) the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner) of the Delta Equivalent Position (after giving effect to the netting provisions of the definition of “Netted Option”); and |
| (B) | UBS shall aggregate the amounts calculated in clause (ii)(A). |
(iii) for Transactions involving Tier 3 Currencies, UBS shall:
| (A) | for each Tier 3 Currency, UBS shall determine the sum of: (x) the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner) of the aggregate Net Currency Position for all FX Transactions involving such Tier 3 Currency and (y) the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner) of the Delta Equivalent Position (after giving effect to the netting provisions of the definition of “Netted Option”); and |
| (B) | UBS shall aggregate the amounts calculated in clause (iii)(A). |
2) Exotics Net Open Position shall be calculated by summing (i) and (ii) below:
| (i) | On the trade date of an Exotic Option, the Exotics Net Open Position shall be calculated by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner as follows; UBS shall determine the U.S. dollar equivalent (determined by UBS in a commercially reasonable manner) of the Delta Equivalent Position (after giving effect to the netting provisions of the definition of “Netted Option”) of each Exotic Option and summing together all such amounts. |
| (ii) | On all subsequent days, the Exotics Net Open Position shall be calculated by UBS acting in a commercially reasonable manner, by dividing the Risk Add-On by a percentage amount as determined by UBS in its sole discretion. |
For the avoidance of doubt, 2(i) shall only apply on the trade date of an Exotic Option, after trade date only 2(ii) will apply.
3) Maximum notional quantity for Exotic Notional Limit purposes shall be calculated as below, for each trade date:
| (i) | net the notional quantities in respect of those Exotic Options which are identical (requires same currency, expiration date, strike and barrier strike price); |
