excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer prior
to the 20th day following the occurrence of such event (the
"TRANSFER CUT-OFF DATE"), all of its rights and obligations
under this Agreement in respect of Affected Transactions to

imposes affirmative obligations to the contrary for that Swap Transaction):

has made its own independent decisions to enter into that Swap
Transaction and as to whether that Swap Transaction is appropriate or
proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such
advisers as it has deemed necessary. It is not relying on any
communication (written or oral) of the Counterparty's investment

Swap Counterparty Rights Agreement, the Administration Agreement, the Trust
Agreement and the Custodian Agreement (the "TRUST DOCUMENTS"), for purposes of

contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable,
the parties will negotiate in good faith to replace the invalid, illegal or
unenforceable provisions with valid provisions which will, as nearly as
possible, give the originally intended legal and economic effect of the invalid,
illegal or unenforceable provisions.
