Other Provisions
1. ISDA Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “Definitions”), as
published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., which are hereby
incorporated by reference herein. Any terms used and not otherwise defined herein which are
contained in the Definitions shall have the meaning set forth therein.
2. Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between any of the following documents, the
relevant document first listed below shall govern: (i) a Confirmation; (ii) the Schedule; (iii)
the 2000 Definitions; and (iv) the printed form of ISDA Master Agreement.
3. Setoff. Any amount (the “Early Termination Amount”) payable to one party (the Payee) by the
other party (the Payer) under Section 6(e), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or
one Affected Party in the case where a
Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv) or (v) has
occurred, will, at the option of the party (“X”) other than the Defaulting Party or the Affected
Party (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party), be reduced by its
set-off against any amount(s) (the “Other Agreement Amount”) payable (whether at such time or in
the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to the Payer (irrespective of the
currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) under any other agreement(s)
between the Payee and the Payer or instrument(s) or undertaking(s) issued or executed by one party
to, or in favor of, the other party (and the Other Agreement Amount will be discharged promptly and
in all respects to the extent it is so set-off). X will give notice to the other party of any
set-off effected under this Part V 3.
For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Agreement Amount (or the
relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in which the other is
denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable
manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.
If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in
respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation
is ascertained.
Nothing in this Part V 3 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This
Part V 3 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of
accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by
operation of law, contract or otherwise).
4. Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent will be Party A unless otherwise specified in a
Confirmation in relation to the relevant Transaction.
5. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Party B and Party A hereby irrevocably waive any and all
right to trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereby.

Sections 5(a) of this Agreement, none of the events set forth in Section 5(a) shall constitute an
Event of Default with respect to Party B if and for as long as there shall be no outstanding

following Subparagraphs:
(g) Eligible Contract Participant or Accredited Investor: It is an “Eligible Contract Participant”

defined by the SEC) in section 2(a)(15)(ii) of the Securities Act of 1933
(h) Relationship Between Parties.
(i) 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 advisors as it has deemed
necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as
investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into that Transaction; it being understood that
information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of a Transaction shall not be
considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into that Transaction. It has not
received from the other party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of the
Transaction.
(ii) Evaluation and Understanding. It is capable of evaluation 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 financial
and other risks of the Transaction.
(iii) Status of the Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it
in respect of that Transaction.
(i) Principal. It is entering into this Agreement and such other documentation as principal,
and not as agent or in any other capacity, fiduciary or otherwise.
9. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the
application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be 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 the Agreement had been executed with the 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.
The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid or
unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition with a valid or enforceable term, provision or
covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the
invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition.
10. Confidentiality. Each party hereby agrees that it shall not disclose to any third parties any
proprietary financial information regarding the other party without the prior written consent of
the other party other than (i) information that is or becomes a matter of general public knowledge
other than as a result of disclosure by the other party, (ii) any information that is already in
the other party’s possession
provided that the source of such information was not to the knowledge of the disclosing party
obligated to keep such information confidential and (iii) any information that is legally required
to be disclosed or is otherwise subject to legal, judicial, regulatory or self-regulatory requests
for information or documents.
11. Transfer: Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following in the third
line between the word “party” and the comma: “which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed,
provided further that such proposed transferee is an entity with which Party A has then existing
credit lines.”
12. Optional Termination. Party B has the option to terminate the Interest Rate Swap Transaction
(as defined in any Confirmation between Party A and Party B), in whole, or in part, on any Business
Day after the Trade Date (as defined in such Confirmation between Party A and Party B) by providing
(i) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (including by telex or facsimile,
provided that receipt of such notice is given by Party A to Party B) to Party A of its election to
terminate this Transaction and (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Party A that any and all
amounts, if any, owed to Party A in connection with such early termination shall be paid on the due
date thereof (the effective date of such optional early termination, hereinafter the “Optional
Early Termination Date”); provided, however, that the option to designate an Optional Early
Termination Date under this Paragraph shall not prevent either party from designating an Early
Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement (as a result of
the occurrence of an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event), to be
effective on any date prior to the Optional Early Termination Date designated hereunder. Such
termination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event under the Agreement with Party B as
the sole Affected Party, and this Transaction or the terminated portion thereof, as applicable, as
the sole Affected Transaction. In the event of such termination, the Calculation Agent shall
determine the amount owed in connection with such termination using its commercially reasonable
judgment. If Party B disputes such calculation, the Calculation Agent shall determine such amount
in accordance with Section 6e of this Agreement as if an Early Termination Date has occurred as of
the Optional Early Termination Date.
