SWAP TRADING ADDENDUM
If you are a US person, please complete this Swap Trading Addendum and the
attached Annex and

This Swap Trading Addendum (the "Addendum") modifies and supplements the
contract or contracts

and DB are not currently
documenting their swaps under a form of standard master swap agreement
published by the International
Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. ("ISDA") or another industry group
that has been manually
signed by the parties, then by delivery of the Addendum to DB, Client is
agreeing that (1) as and fl^om the
date that DB signs this Addendum, the parties shall be deemed to have
entered into an ISDA 2002 Master
Agreement, without any Schedule thereto, except the election that such
agreement shall be governed by
New York law (the "Deemed ISDA Master Agreement"), and (2) all swaps entered
into by the parties
after such date shall be subject to that Deemed ISDA Master Agreement. If,
after the date of entry into
this Addendum, Client and DB manually execute a form of standard master
agreement published by
ISDA or another industry group, this Addendum shall supplement and form part
of that master agreement
(as supplemented by the Addendum, the "Subsequent Agreement") and all swaps
previously governed
by the terms of the Deemed ISDA Master Agreement shall thereinafter be
governed by the terms of the
Subsequent Agreement. ■

such as a third party
portfolio reconciliation service or a technology engine.

respect to a swap and any SDR
Data obtained for such swap, a difference between a Material Term in such

in such Portfoho Data and

valuations for swaps (as
specified by that party for this purpose in writing) on the immediately
preceding Joint Business Day, as
apphcable, and (ii) in the case of Valuations, in good faith and using
commercially reasonable procedures
in order to produce a commerciaUy reasonable result.

On or as soon as practicable following a Data Delivery Date, each party
shall perform a
Data Reconciliation against SDR Data to the extent that such SDR Data
relates to
Material Terms that would otherwise be delivered by the other party as
Portfolio Data.
To the extent that either party does not have access to such SDR Data or
determines that
it is not technologically or operationally practical for such party to
obtain such data from
the relevant swap data repository in a manner that permits the conduct of a
timely Data
Reconciliation, such party shall notify the other party by or as soon as
practicable after
the relevant Data Delivery Date.
Neither party shall be obligated to deliver Portfolio Data to the other
party on a Data
Delivery Date to the extent that such Portfolio Data consists of Material
Terms data
reported to a swap data repository, provided, however, that if a party has
notified the
other party that it is not able to conduct a timely Data Reconciliation
against
corresponding SDR Data, the parties shall provide for the delivery of the
relevant
Portfolio Data, as applicable, as soon as reasonably practicable.
If either party identifies a Discrepancy in SDR Data, such party shall
immediately notify
the other party of such Discrepancy. Each party agrees to consult with the
other in an
attempt to resolve any such Discrepancy in a timely fashion.
EFTA01412757
DB agrees to notify Client, upon reasonable request, of (i) the swap data
repository to
which DB has reported Material Terms data with respect to swaps between DB
and
Client and (ii) any changes to the swap data repositories that must be
accessed to obtain
such data.
Either party may provide written notice to the other party to terminate the
reconciliation
procedures described in this Part. Upon the effective date of such written
notice, these
procedures shall have no further force or effect and the parties will each
be released and
discharged from all further obligations heremider. The parties agree that

if, at any time during
the period that such Data Delivery Dates are in effect, it is no longer
required to conduct portfolio
reconciliations with the specified frequency. Such notice shall specify (i)
the new frequency with
which portfolio reconciliations are believed by DB to be required and (ii)
the new applicable Data
Delivery Dates. Upon delivery of such a notice, the parties obligations to
deliver Portfolio Data
on the previously agreed Data Delivery Dates shall terminate, and such
notice shall be a new
Required Reconcihation Date Notice for purposes of these procedures.
