Dear
Sirs,
Amended
Confirmation
Interest
Rate Cap Transaction No. 948306TS
The
purpose of this letter agreement is to confirm the terms and conditions of
the
Transaction entered into between us on the Trade Date specified below (the
“Transaction”). This letter agreement constitutes a “Confirmation” as referred
to in the ISDA Master Agreement referred to below.
The
definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the
“Definitions”) as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. are incorporated into this Confirmation. For these purposes,
all references in the Definitions to a “Swap Transaction” shall be deemed to
apply to the Transaction referred to herein. In the event of any inconsistency
between those Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation will
govern.
This
Confirmation supplements, forms part of and is subject to the ISDA Master
Agreement to be negotiated (as amended and supplemented from time to time)
between HBOS Treasury Services plc (“Party A”) and Franklin Credit Management
Corp (“Party B”). All provisions contained in the ISDA Master Agreement govern
this Confirmation except as expressly modified below.
This
Confirmation evidences a complete and binding agreement between us as to the
terms of the Transaction to which this Confirmation relates. If we are no yet
parties to an agreement in the form of the ISDA Master Agreement (Multicurrency
Cross Border) (the “ISDA Form”) we agree to promptly negotiate, execute and
deliver such agreement with such modifications as we will in good faith agree.
Upon execution by us of such an agreement, this Confirmation shall supplement
and form part of and be subject to that agreement. All provisions contained
or
incorporated by reference in the agreement upon its execution will govern this
Confirmation except as expressly modified below.
Until
we
execute and deliver that agreement, this Confirmation, together with all other
documents referring to the ISDA Form (each a “Confirmation”) confirming
Transactions (each a “Transaction”) entered into between us, (notwithstanding
anything to the contrary in a Confirmation), shall supplement, form part of
and
be subject to an agreement in the form of the ISDA Form as if we had executed
an
agreement in such form (but without any Schedule except for the election of
English law as the governing law and pounds sterling as the Termination
Currency) on the Trade Date of the first such Transaction between us. In the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions of that agreement and this
Conformation, this Confirmation will prevail for the purposes of this
Transaction.
