(a)

Confirmations. Any FX Transaction or Currency Option Transaction into which the parties may before the date of this Agreement have entered, or may in the future enter, where the relevant Confirmation on its face does not expressly exclude the application of this Agreement, shall (to the extent not otherwise provided for in this Agreement) be subject to, governed by and construed in accordance with this Agreement (in substitution for any existing terms, if any, whether express or implied). Each such FX Transaction and Currency Option Transaction shall be a Transaction, and the documents and other confirming evidence (including electronic messages on an electronic messaging service) exchanged between the parties confirming such FX Transaction or Currency Option Transaction shall each be a Confirmation (even where not so specified therein), for the purposes of this Agreement.

Automatic Discharge and Termination of Offsetting Options. Unless otherwise agreed, any Call or any Put written by a party will automatically be terminated and discharged, in whole or in part, as applicable, against a Call or a Put, respectively, written by the other party, such termination and discharge to occur automatically upon the payment in full of the last Premium payable in respect of such Currency Option Transactions; provided that such termination and discharge may only occur in respect of Currency Option Transactions:

(b) each having the same Expiration Date and Expiration Time;

(d) each having the same Strike Price;

(e) neither of which shall have been exercised by delivery of a Notice of Exercise;

and, upon occurrence of such termination and discharge, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party in respect of the relevant Currency Option Transactions or, as the case may be, parts thereof so terminated and discharged. In the case of a partial termination and discharge (i.e. where the relevant Currency Option Transactions are for different amounts of the Currency Pair), the remaining portion of the Currency Option Transaction which is partially discharged and terminated shall continue to be a Currency Option Transaction for all purposes of this Agreement. This provision shall apply notwithstanding that either party (i) may fail to send out a Confirmation in respect of any such discharge and termination, or (ii) may fail to make changes in any of its books as a result of any such discharge and termination.

Netting of Payments. Notwithstanding Part 4(j) of this Schedule to this Agreement, “Multiple Transaction Payment Netting” will apply for the purpose of Section 2(c) of this Agreement to all Transactions under this Agreement, provided, however, that (i) obligations to make payments pursuant to FX Transactions shall only be netted, satisfied and discharged against obligations to make payments arising out of the same or other FX Transactions and obligations to make payments pursuant to Currency Option Transactions shall only be netted, satisfied and discharged against obligations to make payments arising out of the same or other Currency Option Transactions and (ii) Premiums in respect of Currency Option Transactions shall be netted, satisfied and discharged only against other Premiums in respect of Currency Option Transactions. The Calculation Agent shall notify the parties of the amounts of any such netted payments (which notice may be by telephone).

(i)

Section 3.4 of the FX and Currency Option Definitions is hereby amended by the addition of the following as new Sections 3.4(c) and (d) of the FX and Currency Option Definitions:

“(c)

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the Premium related to a Currency Option Transaction shall be paid on its Premium Payment Date in immediately available funds.

(d)

If any Premium is not received on the Premium Payment Date, the Seller may elect: (i) to accept a late payment of such Premium; (ii) to give written notice of such non-payment and, if such payment shall not be received within three (3) Local Business Days of such notice, treat the related Currency Option Transaction as void; or (iii) to give written notice of such non-payment and, if such payment shall not be not received within three (3) Local Business Days, treat such non-payment as an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) of this Agreement. If the Seller elects to act under either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Buyer shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and actual damages incurred in connection with such unpaid or late Premium or void Currency Option Transaction, including, without limitation, interest on such Premium from and including the Premium Payment Date to but excluding the date of actual payment in the same currency as such Premium at the Default Rate and any other losses, costs or expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with such terminated Currency Option Transaction, for the cost of its funding, or the loss incurred as a result of terminating, liquidating, obtaining or re-establishing a delta hedge or related trading position with respect to such Currency Option Transaction,”
