(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

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

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

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
a
party (a “Disputing Party”) disputes (I) the Valuation Agent’s calculation of a
Delivery Amount or a Return Amount or (II) the Value of any Transfer of Eligible
Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, then (1) the Disputing Party will
notify the other party and the Valuation Agent (if the Valuation Agent is

following (X) the date that the demand is made under Paragraph 3 in the case

(i) In
the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount, unless
otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will recalculate
the
Exposure and the Value as of the Recalculation Date by:
(A) utilizing
any calculations of Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions)

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 recalculate the
Value
as of the date of Transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13.
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 Paragraphs 4(a) and
4(b),
make the appropriate Transfer.
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.
3
(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 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;
4
(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
(iii) that
party fails to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation other than
those specified in Paragraphs 7(i) and (ii) and that failure continues for
30
days after notice of that failure is given to that party.

Certain
Rights and Remedies
|
(a) Secured
Party’s Rights and Remedies. If at any time (1) an
Event of 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 the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with
respect to the Pledgor, then, unless the Pledgor has paid in full all of
its
Obligations that are then due, the Secured Party may exercise one or more
of the
following rights and remedies:
(i) all
rights and remedies available to a secured party under applicable law with
respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party;
(ii) any
other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the terms
of
Other Posted Support, if any;
(iii) the
right to 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
(iv) the
right to liquidate any Posted Collateral held by the Secured 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.
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.
(b) Pledgor’s
Rights and Remedies. If at any time an 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 (except
in the case of an Early Termination Date relating to less than all Transactions
(or Swap Transactions) where the Secured Party has paid in full all of its
obligations that are then due under Section 6(e) of this
Agreement):
(i) the
Pledgor may exercise all rights and remedies available to a 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
5
(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

Collateral it Transfers as the Pledgor and has taken all necessary actions
to
authorize the granting of that security interest and lien;
(ii) it
is the sole owner of or otherwise has the right to Transfer all Eligible
Collateral it Transfers to the Secured Party hereunder, free and clear of
any
security interest, lien, encumbrance or other restrictions other than the
security interest and lien granted under Paragraph 2;
(iii) upon
the Transfer of any Eligible Collateral to the Secured Party under the terms
of
this Annex, the Secured Party will have a valid and perfected first priority
security interest therein (assuming that any central clearing corporation
or any
third-party financial intermediary or other entity not within the control
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

Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party upon becoming aware of the
same,
regardless of whether any portion of that Posted Credit Support is subsequently
disposed of under Paragraph 6(c), except for those taxes, assessments and
charges that result from the exercise of the Secured Party’s rights under
Paragraph 6(c).
6
(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
connection with the liquidation and/or application of any Posted Credit Support
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 he 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 and in a commercially reasonable manner.
