MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of February 8, 2001
AMONG
EACH COUNTERPARTY LISTED ON ANNEX I ATTACHED
HERETO AND MADE A PART HEREOF, SEVERALLY, AND NOT
JOINTLY (EACH A "FUND" OR "PARTY B") AND
XXXXXXXX & COMPANY, INC., A CORPORATION
ORGANIZED AND EXISTING UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE
DEUTSCHE BANK AG ("PARTY A") AND OF MARYLAND (THE "AGENT")
------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"Transaction") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:-
1. INTERPRETATION
(a) DEFINITIONS. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will
have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) INCONSISTENCY. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement,
the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the
Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant
Transaction.
(c) SINGLE AGREEMENT. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on
the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single
agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"),
and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
2. OBLIGATIONS
(a) GENERAL CONDITIONS.
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for
value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required
currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment),
such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner
customary for the relevant
1
2
obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or
elsewhere in this Agreement.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject
to (1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event
of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing,
(2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of
the relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and
(3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.
(b) CHANGE OF ACCOUNT. Either party may change its account for receiving
a payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.
(c) NETTING. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:-
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net
amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in
the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made
in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above
will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive
payments or deliveries.
(d) DEDUCTION OR WITHHOLDING FOR TAX.
(i) GROSS-UP. All payments under this Agreement will be made without
any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by
the practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in
effect. If a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party
("X") will:-
(1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be deducted
or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under this Section
2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such deduction or
withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been
assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified
copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing
such payment to such authorities; and
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to
the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such
additional amount as is necessary
2
3
to ensure that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear of
Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y) will equal the
full amount Y would have received had no such deduction or withholding
been required. However, X will not be required to pay any additional
amount to Y to the extent that it would not be required to be paid but
for:-
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
Section 3 (f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not
have occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such
action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement)
or (II) a Change in Tax Law.
(ii) LIABILITY. If:-
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the
practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any
deduction or withholding in respect of which X would not be required to
pay an additional amount to Y under Section 2(d)(i)(4);
(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly
against X,
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the
liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount
of such liability (including any related liability for interest, but
including any related liability for penalties only if Y has failed to
comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i),
4(a)(iii) or 4(d)).
(e) DEFAULT INTEREST; OTHER AMOUNTS. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction,
a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the
extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on
demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and
including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of
actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to
the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect
of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other
party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation
or elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. REPRESENTATIONS
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be
deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is
entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all
times until the termination of this Agreement) that:-

(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document
or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full

applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or
instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually
or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable

Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being
declared, due and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it
would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party,
such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or

the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any
action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or
acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or
(viii) MERGER WITHOUT ASSUMPTION. The party or any Credit Support

into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity
and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:-
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume
all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under
this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its
predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement
reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
(without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such
resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this
Agreement.
(b) TERMINATION EVENTS. The occurrence at any time with respect to a
party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an
Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is
specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in
(iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if
the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event
if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:-
(i) ILLEGALITY. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any
applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or
due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any
court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any
applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result
of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the
Affected Party):-
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of
such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this
Agreement relating to such Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party
to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such
Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating
to such Transaction;
(ii) TAX EVENT. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority,
or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on
which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is
taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change
in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is
a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled
Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount
in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in
respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a
payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or
on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e),
6(d)(ii) or 6(e))
7
8
and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax
under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or
(B));
(iii) TAX EVENT UPON MERGER. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the
next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay
an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section
2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or
6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or
withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the
other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by
reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a
party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or
transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which
will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event
described in Section 5(a)(viii);
(iv) CREDIT EVENT UPON MERGER. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is
specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party any Credit
Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not
constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is
materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such
Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action
(and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will
be the Affected Party); or
(v) ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT. If any "Additional Termination
Event" is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the
occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or
Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination
Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) EVENT OF DEFAULT AND ILLEGALITY. If an event or circumstance which
would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes
an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an
Event of Default.
6. EARLY TERMINATION
(a) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING EVENT OF DEFAULT. If at any time an
Event of Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred
and is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not
more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event
of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as
an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If,
however, "Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying
to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such
party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6)
or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately
preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the
relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of
Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto,
(8).
(b) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING TERMINATION EVENT.
(i) NOTICE. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the
nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will
also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other
party may reasonably require.
(ii) TRANSFER TO AVOID TERMINATION EVENT. If either an Illegality
under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one
Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party
is the Affected Party, the Affected Party
8
9
will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date
under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require
such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to
transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its
rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected
Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such
Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after
the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be
subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other
party, which consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in
effect at such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the
transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii) TWO AFFECTED PARTIES. If an Illegality under Section
5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each
party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days
after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that
Termination Event.
(iv) RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If:-
(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under
Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with
respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected
Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i); or
(2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon
Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon
Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,
either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case
of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event
or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected
Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit
Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one
Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and
provided that the relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate
a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early
Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) EFFECT OF DESIGNATION.
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under
Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so
designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination
Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early
Termination Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i)
or 2(e) n respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be
made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The
amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be
determined pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) CALCULATIONS.
(i) STATEMENT. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any
amount payable under Section 6(c)) and (2) giving details of the relevant
account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
written confirmation from the source of a
9
10
quotation obtained in determining a Market Quotation, the records of the
party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the existence
and accuracy of such quotation.
(ii) PAYMENT DATE. An amount calculated as being due in respect of
any Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day
that notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of
Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on
which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).
Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the
Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination
Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable
Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION. If an Early Termination Date occurs,
the following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the
Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a
payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties
fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will
be deemed that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be,
shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date
and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.
(i) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If the Early Termination Date results from an
Event of Default:-
(1) FIRST METHOD AND MARKET QUOTATION. If the First Method and
Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of
the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in
respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over
(B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to
the Defaulting Party.
(2) FIRST METHOD AND LOSS. If the First Method and Loss apply,
the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive
number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement.
(3) SECOND METHOD AND MARKET QUOTATION. If the Second Method and
Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum
of the Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in
respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less
(B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to
the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the
Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a
negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of
that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(4) SECOND METHOD AND LOSS. If the Second Method and Loss apply,
an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in
respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the
Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a
negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of
that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(ii) TERMINATION EVENTS. If the Early Termination Date results from
a Termination Event:-
(1) ONE AFFECTED PARTY. If there is one Affected Party, the
amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3),
if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies,
except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to
the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected
10
11
Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and,
if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being
terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated
Transactions.
(2) TWO AFFECTED PARTIES. If there are two Affected Parties:-
(A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a
Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an
amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of the
difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher
Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount of the party with
the lower Settlement Amount ("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II) the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are
being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an
amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference between
the Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the
party with the lower Loss ("Y").
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is
a negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.
(iii) ADJUSTMENT FOR BANKRUPTCY. In circumstances where an Early
Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in
respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be
subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under
this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from
the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) PRE-ESTIMATE. The parties agree that if Market Quotation
applies an amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable
pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss
of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks and except as
otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to
recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses.
7. TRANSFER
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that:-
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in
any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be
void.
8. CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY
(a) PAYMENT IN THE CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY. Each payment under this
Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for
that payment (the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable
law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual
Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other
than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the
11
12
actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed acting in a reasonable
manner and in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the
Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all
amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in
the Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the
Contractual Currency payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to
make the payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately
pay such additional amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to
compensate for the shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual
Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in
respect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly
the amount of such excess.
(b) JUDGMENTS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment
or order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other PARTY the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs
of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the
Contractual Currency.
(c) SEPARATE INDEMNITIES. To the extent permitted by applicable law,
these indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent
causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party
to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained
or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this
Agreement.
(d) EVIDENCE of LOSS. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be
sufficient for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an
actual exchange or purchase been made.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes
all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.
(b) AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by
a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an
exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the
termination of any Transaction.
12
13
(d) REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as provided in this Agreement, the
rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are
cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges
provided by law.
(e) COUNTERPARTS AND CONFIRMATIONS.
(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in
respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by
facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.
(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of
each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally
or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable
and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile
transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of
electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case
will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to
this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another
effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message
constitutes a Confirmation.
(f) NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS. A failure or delay in exercising any right,
power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate
as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that
right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
(g) HEADINGS. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into
consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
10. OFFICES; MULTIBRANCH PARTIES
(a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party
that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home
office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking
office or jurisdiction of incorporation or Organization of such party, the
obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction
through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be
repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.
(b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and
receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the
prior written consent of the other party.
(c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through
which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction
will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.
11. EXPENSES
A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other
party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal
fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement
and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document
to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination
of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.
12. NOTICES

other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process agent acceptable to
the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to service of process given in

in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost
of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or
cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or
reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from
any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any

to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a
positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking
into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the
obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into
a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that would have the effect of
preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery
(whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the
satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under
Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early
Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid
Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery
that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required
(assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early
Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject
to such documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good
faith, agree. The party making the determination (or its agent) will request
each Reference Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably
practicable as of the same day and time (without regard to different time zones)
on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination
Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be
selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under
Section 6(e), and, if each party is so obliged, after consultation with the
other. If more than three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be
the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having
the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are provided,
the Market Quotation will be the quotation remaining after disregarding the
highest and lowest quotations. For this purpose, if more than one quotation has
the same highest value or lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be
disregarded. If fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that
the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.

dealers having an office in the same city.

19
Other Currency with the Termination Currency at or about I 1:00 a.m. (in the
city in which such foreign exchange agent is located) on such date as would be
customary for the determination of such a rate for the purchase of such Other

(a) The definition of Tax Event, Section 5 (b)(ii), is hereby modified by
adding the following provision at the end thereof:
"provided, however, that for purposes of clarification, the parties
acknowledge that the introduction or proposal of legislation, shall not, in
and of itself, give rise to a presumption that a Tax Event has occurred."
(b) The definition of term "Indemnifiable Tax" is amended by adding the
following provisions at the end thereof:
"Notwithstanding the foregoing, "Indemnifiable Tax" also means any Tax
imposed in respect of a payment under this Agreement by reasons of a Change
in Tax Law by a government or taxing authority of a Relevant Jurisdiction
of the party making such payment, unless the other party is incorporated,
organized, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat in such
jurisdiction, or is acting for purposes of this Agreement through a branch
or office located in such jurisdiction."
4. SET OFF.
Section 6 of this Agreement is amended by the addition of the following
Section 6(f):
"(f) Upon the designation of any Early Termination Date, the party that is
not the Defaulting Party or Affected Party ("X") may, without prior notice
to the Defaulting or Affected Party
31
32
("Y"), set off any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this
Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and
irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum
or obligation) owed by Y to X or any Affiliate of X (the "X Set Off
Amount") against any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this
Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and
irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum
or obligation) owed by X or any Affiliate of X to Y (the "Y Set Off
Amount"). X will give notice to the other party of any set off effected
under this Section 6(f).
For this purpose, either the X Set Off Amount or the Y Set Off Amount
(or the relevant portion of such set off amounts) may be converted by X
into the currency in which the other set off amount is denominated at the
rate of exchange at which X would be able, acting in a reasonable manner
and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.
If a sum or 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 Section 6(f) shall be effective to create a charge or
other security interest. This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice and
in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other
rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by
operation of law, contract or otherwise)."
5. ESCROW.
On any date on which both parties are required to make payments hereunder,
either party may at its option and in its sole discretion notify the other party
that payments on that date are to be made in escrow. In this case deposit of the
payment due earlier on that date shall be made by 2:00 p.m. (local time at the
place for the earlier payment if there is a time difference between the cities
in which payments are to be made) on that date with an escrow agent selected by
the party giving the notice and reasonably acceptable to the other party,
accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions (a) to release the deposited
payment to the intended recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the
required deposit of the corresponding payment from the other party on the same
date accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to the same effect or (b)
if the required deposit of the corresponding payment is not made on that same
date, to return the payment deposited to the party that paid it into escrow at
such party's request. The party that elects to have payments made in escrow
shall pay the costs of the escrow arrangements and shall cause those
arrangements to provide that the intended recipient of the payment due to be
deposited first shall be entitled to interest on that deposited payment for each
day in the period of its deposit at the rate offered by the escrow agent for
that day for overnight deposits in the relevant currency in the office where it
holds that deposited payment (at 11:00 a.m. local time on that day) if that
payment is not released by 5:00 p.m. local time on the date it is deposited for
any reason other than the intended recipient's failure to make the escrow
deposit it is required to make hereunder in a timely fashion.

corresponding references to the "Pledgor" will be to the other party when acting

interests and secured parties.
PARAGRAPH 2. SECURITY INTEREST
Each party, as the Pledgor, hereby pledges to the other party, as the
Secured Party, as security for its Obligations, and grants to the Secured Party
a first priority continuing security interest in,
36

Support Amount yields a number less than zero.
PARAGRAPH 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT, TRANSFER TIMING, CALCULATIONS AND
SUBSTITUTIONS
(a) CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. Each Transfer obligation of the Pledgor under

the Pledgor the items of Posted Credit Support specified by the Pledgor in

PARAGRAPH 5. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
If a party (a "Disputing Party") disputes (1) 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

Resolution Time, then:
(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) that the parties have agreed are not in dispute;
(B) calculating 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.
38
39
(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

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.
(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
39
40
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 xxxxx if:
(i) that xxxxx 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;
(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 7(ii) and that
failure continues for 30 days after notice of that failure is given to that
party.
PARAGRAPH 8. 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
40
41
(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
