the parties that expressly imposes affirmative obligations to the contrary for that
Transaction):—
(1) | Non-Reliance. It is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into that Transaction and as to whether that Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisers as it has deemed necessary. No communication (written or oral) received from the other party will be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of that Transaction. | ||
(2) | Assessment and Understanding. It is capable of assessing the merits of and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of that Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and assumes, the risks of that Transaction. | ||
(3) | Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary for it in respect of that Transaction. | ||
(4) | No Agency. It is entering into this Agreement and each Transaction as principal (and not as agent or in any other capacity, fiduciary or otherwise). | ||
(5) | Other Transactions. It understands and acknowledges that the other party may, either in connection with entering into a Transaction or from time to time thereafter, engage in open market transactions that are designed to hedge or reduce the risks incurred by it in connection with such Transaction and that the effect of such open market transactions may be to affect or reduce the value of such Transaction. |
(b) | Recording of Conversations.

(f) | Set-off. | ||
(i) | In addition to any rights of set-off a party may have as a matter of law or otherwise, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or a Termination Event (other than a partial termination pursuant to Part 1(h)(iv) hereof), and the designation of an Early Termination Date pursuant to Section 6 of the Agreement with respect to a party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have the right (but not be obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any obligation of X owed to Y (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under this Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) against any obligation of Y owed to X (whether or not matured or contingent and whether or not arising under this Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation). | ||
(ii) | For the purpose of cross-currency set-off, Y may convert either obligation at the applicable market exchange rate selected by Y on the relevant date. | ||
(iii) | If the amount of an obligation is unascertained, Y may in good faith estimate that amount and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the amount of the obligation is ascertained. | ||
(iv) | This clause (f) shall not constitute a mortgage, charge, lien or other security interest upon any of the property or assets of either party to this Agreement. |
(e) | Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document. Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party or any Credit Support Provider has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii) acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement and provide for any Credit Support Document, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual waivers and certifications in this Section. |

8
“and provided that, unless the other party consents (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), such new account shall be in the same tax jurisdiction as the original account.” |

With respect to each Transaction, Party A will, on or promptly after the Trade Date thereof, send Party B a Confirmation substantially in the form of Confirmation used by Party A or in such other form as agreed by the parties. Party B will promptly thereafter (a) confirm the accuracy of such Confirmation or (b) request the correction of such Confirmation, indicating how the terms of such Confirmation should be correctly stated and such other terms should be added to or deleted from such Confirmation to make it correct. | |
(i) | Transfer. The following amendments are hereby made to Section 7: |

If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the illegal, invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations of the parties to this Agreement. It shall in particular be understood that this Severability clause shall not affect the “single agreement” concept of Section 1(c) of the Master Agreement. |
