(Multicurrency--Cross Border)

International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.
MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of March 28, 2002
Maverick Tube Corporation, a Delaware corporation, and JPMorgan Chase Bank
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:--
1. Interpretation
(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the
Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the
Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant
Transaction.
(c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact
that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement
between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the
parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
2. Obligations
(a) General Conditions.
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other
than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due
date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless
otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this
Agreement.
(iii)Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1)
the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is
continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date
in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been
effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition
precedent specified in this Agreement.
(b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to
which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a
reasonable objection to such change.
(c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made
in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above
will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of Offices through which the patties make and receive
payments or deliveries.
(d) Deduction or Withholding for Tax.
(i) Gross-up. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as
modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue
authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or
withhold, then that party ("X") will:--
(1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y
under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining
that such deduction or withholding is required or receiving
notice that such amount has been assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy),
or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing
such payment to such authorities; and
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the
payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement,
such additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net
amount actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable
Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the full
amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been required. However, X will not be required to pay any
additional amount to Y to the extent that it would not be
required to be paid but for:--
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure
would not have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a
tang authority, or brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is
entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or
brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (II) a
Change in Tax Law.
(ii) Liability. If:--
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice
of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be
required to pay an additional amount to Y under Section
2(d)(i)(4);
(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against
X,
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies
the liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to
X the amount of such liability (including any related
liability for interest, but including any related liability
for penalties only if Y has failed to comply with or perform
any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or
4(d)).
(e) Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on
demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of
actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect
of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. 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
and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the
termination of this Agreement) that:--
(a) Basic Representations.
(i) Status. 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;
(ii) Powers. 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
it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to perform its obligations
under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any Credit Support
Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to
authorize such execution, delivery and performance;
(iii)No Violation or Conflict. 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;
(iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have
been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support
Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force
and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with;
and
(v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party 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)).
(b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of
Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has
occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as
a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
(c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge,
threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or
proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental
body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the
legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document.
(d) Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is
furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is

may have any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support
Document to which it is a party:--
(a) Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party or, in
certain cases under subparagraph (iii) below, to such government or taxing
authority as the other party reasonably directs:--
(i) any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in the
Schedule or any Confirmation;
(ii) any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; and
(iii)upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document that may
be required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other
party or its Credit Support Provider to make a payment under this Agreement
or any applicable Credit Support Document without any deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such deduction or
withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or
submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the
legal or commercial position of the party in receipt of such demand), with
any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner
reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and to be
delivered with any reasonably required certification,
in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if
none is specified, as soon as reasonably practicable.
(b) Maintain Authorizations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in
full force and effect all consents of any governmental or other authority
that are required to be obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or
any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use all
reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future.
(c) Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all
applicable laws and orders to which it may be subject if failure so to
comply would materially impair its ability to perform its obligations under
this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
(d) Tax Agreement. It will give notice of any failure of a representation made
by it under Section 3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of
such failure.
(e) Payment of Stamp Tax. Subject to Section 11, it will pay any Stamp Tax

this Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organized,
managed and controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which a
branch or office through which it is acting for the purpose of this
Agreement is located ("Stamp Tax Jurisdiction") and will indemnify the
other party against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the other party or
in respect of the other party's execution or performance of this Agreement
by any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction which is not also a Stamp Tax
Jurisdiction with respect to the other party.
5. Events of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified
Entity of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of
default (an "Event of Default") with respect to such party:--
(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any
payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e)
required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the
third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform any
agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under
this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give notice
of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section
4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party
in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or
before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(iii) Credit Support Default.
(1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply
with or perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or
performed by it in accordance with any Credit Support Document if such
failure is continuing after any applicable grace period has elapsed;
(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the
failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and
effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in
accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of
such party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document
relates without the written consent of the other party; or
(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates
or rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit
Support Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation under
Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or
repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or
misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have
been made or repeated;
(v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider
of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults
under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an
acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that
Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due
on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at
least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice
requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is
taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act
on its behalf);
(vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as applying
to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of
default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect
of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable
Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or instruments
relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually or
collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable
Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such
Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being
declared, due and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it
would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party,
such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or
collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an
aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under
such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable
notice requirement or grace period);
(vii)Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such party:--
(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or
merger);
(2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in
writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due;
(3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the
benefit of its creditors;
(4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of
insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or
insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors' rights, or a
petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case
of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such
proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or
bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order
for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged,
stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or
presentation thereof;
(5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or
liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or
merger);
(6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator,
provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other
similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets;
(7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets
or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal
process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its
assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is
not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30
days thereafter;
(8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the
applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the
events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or
(9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval
of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or
(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of
such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at
the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:--
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the
obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was
a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably
satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the
consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving
or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified
Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality
if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is
specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is
specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit
Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an
Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v)
below:--
(i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law
after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the
promulgation of, or any charge in, the interpretation by any court,
tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any
applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result
of a breach by- the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be
the Affected Party):--
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or
delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction
or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating
to such Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform,
any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support
Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such
Transaction;
(ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in
a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a
Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or
brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax
Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will. or there is a
substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled
Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount
in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in
respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a
payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or
on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e),
6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in
respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of
Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));
(iii)Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party') on the next
succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an
additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or
withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the
other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by
reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)). in either case as a result of a
party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or
transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which
will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event
described in Section 5(a)(viii);
(iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified in the
Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit Support
Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or
amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially
all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an
event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the
resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of
X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may
be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its
successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or
(v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is
specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence
of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties
shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule
or such Confirmation).
(c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes
an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute
an Event of Default.
6. Early Termination
(a) Right to Terminate Following Event of .Default. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and
is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by
not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the
relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such
notice is effective as an Early Termination-Date in respect of all
outstanding Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is
specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination
Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon
the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified
in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto,
(8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the
relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the
occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in
Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly
upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of
that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give
such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may
reasonably require.
(ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section
5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or
if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected
Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an
Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts
(which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial,
incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under
Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in
respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or
Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to
the other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other
party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under
Section 6(b)(i).
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and
conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent
will not be withheld if such other party's policies in effect at such time would
permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii)Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax
Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use all
reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice thereof
is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination Event.
(iv) Right to Terminate. If:--
(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section 6(b)(iii),
as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to all Affected
Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice under
Section 6(b)(i); or
(2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger or an
Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and
the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case of a
Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event or an
Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the
party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger
or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by
not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant
Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier than the day
such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
Transactions.
(c) Effect of Designation.
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a)
or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated,
whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then
continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination-Date,
no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in respect
of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without
prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any,
payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined
pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence
of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its
part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other
party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations
(including all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable under
Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant account to which any
amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written confirmation
from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation,
the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive
evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.
(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early
Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice
of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination
Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and
on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice
of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination
Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event). Such amount
will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under applicable la<
