PARAGRAPH 2. SECURITY INTEREST
Each party, as the Pledgor, hereby pledges to the other party, as the Secured
Party, as security for its Obligations, and grants to the Secured Party a first
priority continuing security interest in, lien on and right of Set-off against
all Posted Collateral Transferred to or received by the Secured Party hereunder.
Upon the Transfer by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of Posted Collateral, the

PARAGRAPH 3. CREDIT SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS
(a) DELIVERY AMOUNT. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the
Secured Party on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount
for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Pledgor's Minimum Transfer Amount,
then the Pledgor will Transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support
having a Value as of the date of Transfer at least equal to the applicable
Delivery Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified
in Paragraph 13, the "DELIVERY AMOUNT" applicable to the Pledgor for any
Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:
(i) the Credit Support Amount
exceeds
(ii) the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held
by the Secured Party.
(b) RETURN AMOUNT. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the
Pledgor on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Return Amount for that
Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Secured Party's Minimum Transfer Amount,
then the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor Posted Credit Support
specified by the Pledgor in that demand having a Value as of the date of
Transfer as close as practicable to the applicable Return Amount (rounded
pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the
"RETURN AMOUNT" applicable to the Secured Party for any Valuation Date will
equal the amount by which:
(i) the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held
by the Secured Party
exceeds
(ii) the Credit Support Amount.
"CREDIT SUPPORT AMOUNT" means, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, for
any Valuation Date (i) the Secured Party's Exposure for that Valuation Date plus
(ii) the aggregate of all Independent Amounts applicable to the Pledgor, if any,
minus (iii) all Independent Amounts applicable to the Secured Party, if any,
minus (iv) the Pledgor's Threshold; provided, however, that the Credit Support
Amount will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of Credit Support
Amount yields a number less than zero.
PARAGRAPH 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT, TRANSFER TIMING, CALCULATIONS AND
SUBSTITUTIONS
(a) CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. Each Transfer obligation of the Pledgor under
Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the Secured Party under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5 and

a demand is made after
ISDA(R) 1994

the Notification Time, then the relevant Transfer will be made not later than
the close of business on the second Local Business Day thereafter.
(c) CALCULATIONS. All calculations of Value and Exposure for purposes of
Paragraphs 3 and 6(d) will be made by the Valuation Agent as of the Valuation

Transactions) that the parties have agreed are not in dispute;
(B) calculating the Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions)
in dispute by seeking four actual quotations at mid-market from
Reference Market-makers for purposes of calculating Market Quotation,
and taking the arithmetic average of those obtained; provided that if
four quotations are not available for a particular Transaction (or Swap
Transaction), then fewer than four quotations may be used for that
Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and if no quotations are available
for a particular Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then the Valuation
Agent's original calculations will be used for that Transaction (or Swap
Transaction); and
(C) utilizing the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating
the Value, if disputed, of Posted Credit Support.
(ii) In the case of a dispute involving the Value of any Transfer of
Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, the Valuation Agent will

ISDA(R) 1994

Following a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will
notify each party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) not
later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following the
Resolution Time. The appropriate party will, upon demand following that notice
by the Valuation Agent or a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to

PARAGRAPH 6. HOLDING AND USING POSTED COLLATERAL
(a) CARE OF POSTED COLLATERAL. Without limiting the Secured Party's rights
under Paragraph 6(c), the Secured Party will exercise reasonable care to assure
the safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the extent required by applicable
law, and in any event the Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised
reasonable care if it exercises at least the same degree of care as it would
exercise with respect to its own property. Except as specified in the preceding
sentence, the Secured Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral,
including, without limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce
or preserve any rights pertaining thereto.
(b) ELIGIBILITY TO HOLD POSTED COLLATERAL; CUSTODIANS.
(i) GENERAL. Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in
Paragraph 13 for holding Posted Collateral, the Secured Party will be
entitled to hold Posted Collateral or to appoint an agent (a "Custodian")
to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party. Upon notice by the
Secured Party to the Pledgor of the appointment of a Custodian, the
Pledgor's obligations to make any Transfer will be discharged by making
the Transfer to that Custodian. The holding of Posted Collateral by a
Custodian will be deemed to be the holding of that Posted Collateral by
the Secured Party for which the Custodian is acting.
(ii) FAILURE TO SATISFY CONDITIONS. If the Secured Party or its Custodian
fails to satisfy any conditions for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a
demand made by the Pledgor, the Secured Party will, not later than five
Local Business Days after the demand, Transfer or cause its Custodian to
Transfer all Posted Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies
those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those conditions.
(iii) LIABILITY. The Secured Party will be liable for the acts or
omissions of its Custodian to the same extent that the Secured Party would
be liable hereunder for its own acts or omissions.
(c) USE OF POSTED COLLATERAL. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and
without limiting the rights and obligations of the parties under Paragraphs 3,
4(d)(ii), 5, 6(d) and 8, if the Secured Party is not a Defaulting Party or an
Affected Party with respect to a Specified Condition and no Early Termination
Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or
Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then the Secured Party
will, notwithstanding Section 9-207 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code,
have the right to:
(i) sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or
otherwise dispose of, or otherwise use in its business any Posted
Collateral it holds, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever
of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption by the
Pledgor; and
(ii) register any Posted Collateral in the name of the Secured Party, its
Custodian or a nominee for either.
For purposes of the obligation to Transfer Eligible Credit Support or Posted
Credit Support pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 5 and any rights or remedies
authorized under this Agreement, the Secured Party will be deemed to continue to
hold all Posted Collateral and to receive Distributions made thereon, regardless
of whether the Secured Party has exercised any rights with respect to any Posted
Collateral pursuant to (i) or (ii) above.
(d) DISTRIBUTIONS AND INTEREST AMOUNT.
(i) DISTRIBUTIONS. Subject to Paragraph 4(a), if the Secured Party
receives or is deemed to receive Distributions on a Local Business Day, it
will Transfer to the Pledgor not later than the following Local
ISDA(R) 1994
4
Business Day any Distributions it receives or is deemed to receive to the
extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that
Transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of
calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).
(ii) INTEREST AMOUNT. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and
subject to Paragraph 4(a), in lieu of any interest, dividends or other
amounts paid or deemed to have been paid with respect to Posted Collateral
in the form of Cash (all of which may be retained by the Secured Party),
the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor at the times specified in
Paragraph 13 the Interest Amount to the extent that a Delivery Amount
would not be created or increased by that Transfer, as calculated by the
Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed to be a
Valuation Date for this purpose). The Interest Amount or portion thereof
not Transferred pursuant to this Paragraph will constitute Posted
Collateral in the form of Cash and will be subject to the security
interest granted under Paragraph 2.
PARAGRAPH 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
For purposes of Section 5(a)(iii)(1) of this Agreement, an Event of Default will
exist with respect to a party if:
(i) that party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due,
any Transfer of Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral or the Interest
Amount, as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure
continues for two Local Business Days after notice of that failure is
given to that party;
(ii) that party fails to comply with any restriction or prohibition
specified in this Annex with respect to any of the rights specified in
Paragraph 6(c) and that failure continues for five Local Business Days
after notice of that failure is given to that party; or

obligation other than those specified in Paragraphs 7(i) and 7(ii) and

Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Pledgor has occurred and is
continuing or (2) an Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as

Party through one or more public or private sales or other dispositions
with such notice, if any, as may be required under applicable law, free
from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including
any equity or right of redemption by the Pledgor (with the Secured Party
having the right to purchase any or all of the Posted Collateral to be
sold) and to apply the proceeds (or the Cash equivalent thereof) from the
liquidation of the Posted Collateral to any amounts payable by the Pledgor
with respect to any Obligations in that order as the Secured Party may
elect.
ISDA(R) 1994

Each party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of
securities may decline speedily in value and is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, and, accordingly, the Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice
of any sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party, except any notice
that is required under applicable law and cannot be waived.

has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or

Transactions) where the Secured Party has paid in full all of its obligations

pledgor under applicable law with respect to Posted Collateral held by the
Secured Party;
(ii) the Pledgor may exercise any other rights and remedies available to
the Pledgor under the terms of Other Posted Support, if any;
(iii) the Secured Party will be obligated immediately to Transfer all
Posted Collateral and the Interest Amount to the Pledgor; and
(iv) to the extent that Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount is not so
Transferred pursuant to (iii) above, the Pledgor may:
(A) Set-off any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any
Obligations against any Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of
any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party (or any obligation
of the Secured Party to Transfer that Posted Collateral); and
(B) to the extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A)
above, withhold payment of any remaining amounts payable by the
Pledgor with respect to any Obligations, up to the Value of any
remaining Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party, until that
Posted Collateral is Transferred to the Pledgor.
(c) DEFICIENCIES AND EXCESS PROCEEDS. The Secured Party will Transfer to the
Pledgor any proceeds and Posted Credit Support remaining after liquidation,
Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) after satisfaction in
full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations; the
Pledgor in all events will remain liable for any amounts remaining unpaid after
any liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b).
(d) FINAL RETURNS. When no amounts are or thereafter may become payable by the
Pledgor with respect to any Obligations (except for any potential liability
under Section 2(d) of this Agreement), the Secured Party will Transfer to the
Pledgor all Posted Credit Support and the Interest Amount, if any.

to be repeated as of each date on which it, as the Pledgor, Transfers Eligible

Eligible Collateral it Transfers as the Pledgor and has taken all
necessary actions to authorize the granting of that security interest and
lien;

ISDA(R) 1994
6
of the Pledgor involved in the Transfer of that Eligible Collateral gives
the notices and takes the action required of it under applicable law for
perfection of that interest); and
(iv) the performance by it of its obligations under this Annex will not
result in the creation of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance
on any Posted Collateral other than the security interest and lien granted
under Paragraph 2.
PARAGRAPH 10. EXPENSES
(a) GENERAL. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 10(b) and 10(c), each
party will pay its own costs and expenses in connection with performing its
obligations under this Annex and neither party will be liable for any costs and
expenses incurred by the other party in connection herewith.
(b) POSTED CREDIT SUPPORT. The Pledgor will promptly pay when due all taxes,
assessments or charges of any nature that are imposed with respect to Posted
Credit Support held by the Secured Party upon becoming aware of the same,

charges that result from the exercise of the Secured Party's rights under
Paragraph 6(c).
(c) LIQUIDATION/APPLICATION OF POSTED CREDIT SUPPORT. All reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Secured Party or the Pledgor in

under Paragraph 8 will be payable, on demand and pursuant to the Expenses
Section of this Agreement, by the Defaulting Party or, if there is no Defaulting
Party, equally by the parties.
PARAGRAPH 11. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) DEFAULT INTEREST. A Secured Party that fails to make, when due, any
Transfer of Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount will be obligated to pay
the Pledgor (to the extent permitted under applicable law) an amount equal to
interest at the Default Rate multiplied by the Value of the items of property
that were required to be Transferred, from (and including) the date that Posted
Collateral or Interest Amount was required to be Transferred to (but excluding)
the date of Transfer of that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount. This interest
will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of
days elapsed.
(b) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Promptly following a demand made by a party, the other
party will execute, deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific
assignment or other document and take any other action that may be necessary or
desirable and reasonably requested by that party to create, preserve, perfect or
validate any security interest or lien granted under Paragraph 2, to enable that
party to exercise or enforce its rights under this Annex with respect to Posted
Credit Support or an Interest Amount or to effect or document a release of a
security interest on Posted Collateral or an Interest Amount.
(c) FURTHER PROTECTION. The Pledgor will promptly give notice to the Secured
Party of, and defend against, any suit, action, proceeding or lien that involves
Posted Credit Support Transferred by the Pledgor or that could adversely affect
the security interest and lien granted by it under Paragraph 2, unless that
suit, action, proceeding or lien results from the exercise of the Secured
Party's rights under Paragraph 6(c).
(d) GOOD FAITH AND COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER. Performance of all
obligations under this Annex, including, but not limited to, all calculations,
valuations and determinations made by either party, will be made in good faith
