The undersigned agrees as follows and irrevocably authorizes the Bank to exercise the rights listed below, at its option, for its own benefit, either in its own name or in the name of the undersigned, and appoints the Bank as its attorney-in-fact to take all action permitted under this Agreement.
(a) Deposits: The Bank may: (i) renew the Deposits on terms and for periods the Bank deems appropriate; (ii) demand, collect, and receive payment of any monies or proceeds due or to become due under the Deposits; (iii) execute any instruments required for the withdrawal or repayment of the Deposits; and (iv) in all respects deal with the Deposits as the owner; provided that, as to (ii) through (iv), until the occurrence of a Default (as defined below), the Bank will only take that action if, in its judgment, failure to take that action would impair its rights under this Agreement or diminish its operational control over Collateral.
(b) Securities: The Bank may: (i) transfer to the account of the Bank any Securities whether in the possession of, or registered in the name of, any Clearing System or held otherwise; (ii) transfer to the account of the Bank with any Federal Reserve Bank any Securities held in book entry form with any such Federal Reserve Bank; and (iii) transfer to the name of the Bank or its nominee any Securities registered in the name of the undersigned and held by the Bank and complete and deliver any necessary stock powers or other transfer instruments; provided that until the occurrence of a Default, the Bank will only take that action if, in its judgment, failure to take that action would impair its rights under this Agreement or diminish its operational control over Collateral, or if such Securities are held in a custody, investment management or similar account.
The undersigned grants to the Bank an irrevocable proxy to vote any and all Securities and give consents, waivers and ratifications in connection with those Securities upon and after the occurrence of a Default.
All payments, distributions and dividends in securities, property or cash shall be paid directly to and, at the discretion of the Bank, retained by the Bank and held by it, until applied as provided in this Agreement, as additional Collateral; provided that until the occurrence of a Default, interest on Deposits and cash dividends on Securities paid in the ordinary course will be paid to the undersigned.
(c) General: The Bank may, in its name, or in the name of the undersigned: (i) execute and file financing statements under the UCC or any other filings or notices necessary or desirable to create, perfect or preserve its security interest, all without notice (except as required by applicable law and not waivable) and without liability except to account for property actually received by it; (ii) demand, xxx for, collect or receive any money or property at any time payable or receivable on account of or in exchange for, or make any compromise or settlement deemed desirable with respect to, any item of the Collateral (but shall be under no obligation to do so); (iii) make any notification (to the issuer of any certificate or Security, or otherwise, including giving any notice of exclusive control to the Intermediary) or take any other action in connection with the perfection or preservation of its security interest or any enforcement of remedies, and retain any documents evidencing the title of the undersigned to any item of the Collateral; and (iv) issue entitlement orders with respect to any of the Collateral.
The undersigned agrees that it will not file or permit to be filed any termination statement with respect to the Collateral or any financing or like statement with respect to the Collateral in which the Bank is not named as the sole secured party, consent or be a party to any Account Control Agreement to which the Bank is not also a party or sell, assign, or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or pledge, or otherwise encumber the Collateral; provided, however, that until the occurrence of a Default, the undersigned may buy and sell Collateral subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including but not limited to, Section 4. At the request of the Bank the undersigned agrees to do all other things which the Bank may deem necessary or advisable in order to perfect and preserve its security interest, perfection and operational control and to give effect to the rights granted to the
2
Bank under this Agreement or enable the Bank to comply with any applicable laws or regulations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank does not assume any duty with respect to the Collateral and is not required to take any action to collect, preserve or protect its or the undersigned’s rights in any item of the Collateral. The undersigned releases the Bank and agrees to hold the Bank harmless from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising with respect to this Agreement, the use or disposition of any item of the Collateral or any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Bank with respect thereto. The undersigned releases each Intermediary and agrees to hold each Intermediary harmless from any claims, causes of action and demands at any time arising with respect to any instruction made by Bank to any Intermediary purporting to be made under this Agreement or any Account Control Agreement, it being understood that no Intermediary shall have any duty to investigate Bank’s right to issue any such instruction or any other matter related to any such instruction.
The rights granted to the Bank pursuant to this Agreement are in addition to the rights granted to the Bank in any custody, investment management, trust, Account Control Agreement or similar agreement. In case of conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and of any other such agreement, the provisions of this Agreement will prevail.
4. Loan Value of the Collateral.
The undersigned agrees that at all times the sum of the amount of the Liabilities plus the aggregate amount of any Independent Collateral Requirements may not exceed the aggregate Loan Value of the Collateral. The undersigned will, at the Bank’s option, either supplement the Collateral or make, or cause to be made, any payment under the Liabilities to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with this provision or the Bank may liquidate Collateral to the extent necessary to ensure compliance with this provision. “Loan Value” means the value assigned by the Bank from time to time, in its sole reasonable discretion, to each item of the Collateral. The Loan Value of the Collateral that consists of Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Energy, Inc., stock shall be zero at any time during which the trading price or the bid price (whichever is lower) of the stock is less than $15.00 per share. The Bank retains the right to determine the eligibility of the Collateral.
5. Currency Conversion.
For calculation purposes, any currency in which the Collateral is denominated (the “Collateral Currency”) will be converted into the currency of the Liabilities (the “Liability Currency”) at the spot rate of exchange for the purchase of the Liability Currency with the Collateral Currency quoted by the Bank at such place as the Bank deems appropriate (or, if no such rate is quoted on any relevant date, estimated by the Bank on the basis of the Bank’s last quoted spot rate) or another prevailing rate that the Bank deems more appropriate.

EXHIBIT B
“Independent Collateral Requirement” means, with respect to any transaction between the Bank and the Obligor, the amount as specified in writing for such transaction by the Bank to the Obligor or the undersigned; provided, however, that if the transaction is governed by the ISDA Master Agreement and an amount is not so specified, then the Independent Collateral Requirement shall be 20% of the Notional Amount (as defined in the definitions published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. (“ISDA”) that are applicable to such transaction) for such transaction; provided, further, that:
(i) if such transaction is an FX Transaction or Currency Option Transaction, the Independent Collateral Requirement shall be 10% of the USD amount involved in such transaction (provided, however, that if there is no USD amount involved in such a transaction, then 10% of the USD equivalent, as determined by the Bank in good faith, of the amount payable to the Bank at any time under such transaction (for this purpose, all Currency Option Transactions will be treated as Deliverable Currency Option Transactions and the amount payable to the Bank is determined on the basis that such Currency Option Transaction will be exercised)) (terms used in this subpart (i) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions as published by ISDA, the Emerging Market Traders Association and The Foreign Exchange Committee),
(ii) if such transaction is an Equity Option, the Independent Collateral Requirement shall be 30% of the Notional Amount of such transaction if a Notional Amount is involved and otherwise 30% of the product of the Strike Price times the Option Entitlement (if any) times the Number of Options of such transaction (terms used in this subpart (ii) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the 1996 Equity Derivatives Definitions as published by ISDA),
(iii) if such transaction is a transaction involving a Commodity, the Independent Collateral Requirement shall be an amount equal to 40% times the highest Notional Quantity for a Calculation Period (or if there is only one Calculation Period, the Total Notional Quantity) times the Specified Price on the Trade Date of such transaction (terms used in this subpart (iii) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the 1993 Commodity Derivatives Definitions, as supplemented by the 2000 Supplement to the 1993 Commodity Derivatives Definitions, as published by ISDA), and
(iv) if such transaction is a Swap Transaction, the Independent Collateral Requirement shall be 10% of the Notional Amount (provided, however, that if there is more than one Notional Amount, then 10% of the Notional Amount applicable to the Obligor) (terms used in this subpart (iv) and not otherwise defined in this Agreement have the meanings set forth in the 2000 ISDA Definitions as published by ISDA).
Except as otherwise provided, if any transaction involves more than one Notional Amount, the higher value will apply for purposes of this calculation. If in any case the relevant amount is not expressed in USD, the USD equivalent thereof, as determined by the Bank, shall be applicable for the purposes of determining the Independent Collateral Requirement.
