Interpretation
(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and elsewhere in this
Master Agreement 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, such Confirmation
will prevail for the purpose of
the relevant Transaction. _
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

(iii)
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 condition
specified in this Agreement to be a
condition precedent for the purpose of this Section 2(a)(iii).
Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the

(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

change.
(c) Netting of Payments. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:—
in the same currency; and
(i)
in respect of the same Transaction,
(ii)
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 which 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 and payment obligadon will be
determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same
currency in respect of those Transactions,
regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same
Transaction. The election may be made in the
Schedule or any Confirmation by specifying that "Multiple Transaction
Payment Netting" applies to the Transactions
identified as being subject to the election (in which case clause (ii) above
will not apply to such Transactions). If

apply to those Transactions with effect
from the starting date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, or,
if a starting date is not specified in the
Schedule or such Confirmation, the starting date otherwise agreed by the
parties in writing. 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.

(1)
promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
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

that such deduction or
withholding is required or receiving notice that such amount has been
assessed against Y;
promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy), or other

(3)
2
ISDA® 2002
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 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:—
(4)
the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement contained in
Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or
(A)
EFTA01441536
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, after 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.
(B)
(ii) Liability. If:—
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);
(1)
X does not so deduct or withhold; and
(2)
(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)).

perform, receive or comply if such payment, delivery or compliance were
EFTA01441546
required on that day).
(2)
so long as the force majeure or act of state is beyond the control of such
Office, such party or such Credit
Support Provider, as appropriate, and such Office, party or Credit Support
Provider could not, after using all
reasonable efforts (which will not require such party or Credit Support
Provider to incur a loss, other than
immaterial, incidental expenses), overcome such prevention, impossibility or
impracticability;
Tax Event. Due to (1) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in
a court of competent
jurisdiction, after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether
such action is taken or brought with
respect to a party to this Agreement) or (2) 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 Settlement Date
(A) 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 9(h)) or (B)
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 9(h)) 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
Settlement 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 9(h))
or (2) receive a payment from
which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any 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 (or any substantial part of the assets
comprising the business conducted by it
as of the date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganising,
reincorporating or reconstituting into or as,
another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not
constitute a Merger Without
Assumption;
(iv)
Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified in the
Schedule as
applying to the party, a Designated Event (as defined below) occurs with
EFTA01441547
respect to such party, any Credit
Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such
party (in each case, "X") and such
Designated Event does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption, and the
creditworthiness of X or, if
applicable, the successor, surviving or transferee entity of X, after taking
into account any applicable Credit
Support Document, is materially weaker immediately after the occurrence of
such Designated Event than
that of X immediately prior to the occurrence of such Designated Event (and,
in any such event, such party
or its successor, surviving or transferee entity, as appropriate, will be
the Affected Party). A "Designated
Event" with respect to X means that;—
(V)
(1) X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers
all or substantially
all its assets (or any substantial part of the assets comprising the
business conducted by X as of the
9
ISDA® 2002
date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganises, reincorporates or
reconstitutes into or as, another
entity;
any person, related group of persons or entity acquires directly or
indirectly the beneficial
ownership of (A) equity securities having the power to elect a majority of
the board of directors (or
its equivalent) of X or (B) any other ownership interest enabling it to
exercise control of X; or
(2)
X effects any substantial change in its capital structure by means of the
issuance,
incurrence or guarantee of debt or the issuance of (A) preferred stock or
other securities convertible
into or exchangeable for debt or preferred stock or (B) in the case of
entities other than
corporations, any other form of ownership interest; or
(3)
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 will be as specified for such Additional Termination Event
in the Schedule or such
Confirmation).
(Vi)
(c) Hierarchy of Events.
An event or circumstance that constitutes or gives rise to an Illegality or
a Force Majeure Event will
not, for so long as that is the case, also constitute or give rise to an
EFTA01441548
Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i),
5(a)(ii)(l) or 5(a)(iii)(l) insofar as such event or circumstance relates to
the failure to make any payment or
delivery or a failure to comply with any other material provision of this
Agreement or a Credit Support
Document, as the case may be.
(i)
Except in circumstances contemplated by clause (i) above, if an event or
circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event
also constitutes an Event of
Default or any other Termination Event, it will be treated as an Event of
Default or such other Termination
Event, as the case may be, and will not constitute or give rise to an
Illegality or a Force Majeure Event.
(ii)
If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to
a Force Majeure Event
also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality, except
as described in clause (ii) above, and
not a Force Majeure Event.
(hi)
Deferral of Payments and Deliveries During Waiting Period. If an Illegality
or a Force Majeure Event has
occurred and is continuing with respect to a Transaction, each payment or
delivery which would otherwise be
required to be made under that Transaction will be deferred to, and will not
be due until;—
(d)
the first Local Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, the first Local
Delivery Day (or the first
day that would have been a Local Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as
appropriate, but for the
occurrence of the event or circumstance constimting or giving rise to that
Illegality or Force Majeure Event)
following the end of any applicable Waiting Period in respect of that
Illegality or Force Majeure Event, as
the case may be; or
(i)
if earlier, the date on which the event or circumstance constituting or
giving rise to that Illegality or
Force Majeure Event ceases to exist or, if such date is not a Local Business
Day or, in the case of a delivery,
a Local Delivery Day, the first following day that is a Local Business Day
or Local Delivery Day, as
appropriate.
(ii)
Inability of Head or Home Office to Perform Obligations of Branch. If (i) an
Illegality or a Force
Majeure Event occurs under Section 5(b)(i)(l) or 5(b)(ii)(l) and the
relevant Office is not the Affected Party's head
EFTA01441549
or home office, (ii) Section 10(a) applies, (iii) the other party seeks
performance of the relevant obligation or
(e)
10
ISDA® 2002
compliance with the relevant provision by the Affected Party's head or home
office and (iv) the Affected Party's head
or home office fails so to perform or comply due to the occurrence of an
event or circumstance which would, if that
head or home office were the Office through which the Affected Party makes
and receives payments and deliveries
with respect to the relevant Transaction, constimte or give rise to an
Illegality or a Force Majeure Event, and such
failure would otherwise constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i)
or 5(a)(iii)(l) with respect to such party,
then, for so long as the relevant event or circumstance continues to exist
with respect to both the Office referred to in
Section 5(b)(i)(l) or 5(b)(ii)(l), as the case may be, and the Affected
Party's head or home office, such failure will
not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1).
6
Early Termination; Close-Out Netting
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)(l), (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).
(a)
Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(b)
Notice. If a Termination Event other than a Force Majeure 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 the other party such other
information about that
Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. If a Force
EFTA01441550
Majeure Event occurs, each party
will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, use all reasonable efforts to
notify the other party, specifying the
nature of that Force Majeure Event, and will also give the other party such
other information about that
Force Majeure Event as the other party may reasonably require.
(i)
Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If 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 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, other than
immaterial, incidental expenses) to
transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) aU 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.
(ii)
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.
Two Affected Parties. If 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 of
such occurrence is given under
Section 6(b)(i) to avoid that Termination Event.
(iii)
11
ISDA® 2002
(iv) Right to Terminate.
(1)
If:—
(A) 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
(B) 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,
EFTA01441551
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 are two Affected
Parties, or the Non -
affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional
Termination Event if
there is only one Affected Party may, if the relevant Termination Event is
then continuing, by not
more than 20 days notice to the other party, designate a day not earlier
than the day such notice is
effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
Transactions.
(2)
If at any time an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has occurred and is
then continuing
and any applicable Waiting Period has expired:—
Subject to clause (B) below, either party may, by not more than 20 days
notice to
the other party, designate (I) a day not earlier than the day on which such
notice becomes
effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected
Transactions or (II) by
specifying in that notice the Affected Transactions in respect of which it
is designating the
relevant day as an Early Termination Date, a day not earlier than two Local
Business Days
following the day on which such notice becomes effective as an Early
Termination Date in
respect of less than all Affected Transactions. Upon receipt of a notice
designating an
Early Termination Date in respect of less than all Affected Transactions,
the other party
may, by notice to the designating party, if such notice is effective on or
before the day so
designated, designate that same day as an Early Termination Date in respect
of any or all
other Affected Transactions.
(A)
An Affected Party (if the Illegality or Force Majeure Event relates to
performance
by such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party of an obligation
to make any
payment or delivery under, or to compliance with any other material
provision of, the
relevant Credit Support Document) will only have the right to designate an
Early
Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A) as a result of an Illegality
under
Section 5(b)(i)(2) or a Force Majeure Event under Section 5(b)(ii)(2)
following the prior
designation by the other party of an Early Termination Date, pursuant to
EFTA01441552
Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A), in respect of less than all Affected Transactions.
(B)
(0
Effect of Designation.
If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a)
or 6(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.
(i)
Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date,
no further payments or
deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 9(h)(i) in 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 will be determined pursuant to Sections
6(e) and 9(h)(ii).
(ii)
12
ISDA® 2002
(d) Calculations; Payment Date.
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 any
quotations, market data or information from internal sources used in making
such calculations),
(2) specifying (except where there are two Affected Parties) any Early
Termination Amount payable and
(3) 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 quotation or market data obtained
in determining a Close-out
Amount, the records of the party obtaining such quotation or market data
will be conclusive evidence of the
existence and accuracy of such quotation or market data.
(i)
Payment Date. An Early Termination Amount due in respect of any Early
Termination Date will,
together with any amount of interest payable pursuant to Section 9(h)(ii)
(2), be payable (1) on the day on
which 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 (2) on the day which is two
Local Business Days after the
day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (or, if there are two
Affected Parties, after the day on
which the statement provided pursuant to clause (i) above by the second
EFTA01441553
party to provide such a statement is
effective) in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a
result of a Termination Event.
(ii)
Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
amount, if any, payable in
respect of that Early Termination Date (the "'Early Termination Amount")
will be determined pursuant to this
Section 6(e) and will be subject to Section 6(f).
(e)
Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of
Default, the Early
Termination Amount will be an amount equal to (1) the sum of (A) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative)
determined by the Non -
defaulting Party for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions, as the case may be,
and (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to
the Non-defaulting Party less
(2) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
Defaulting Party. If the Early
Termination 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 the Early Termination Amount
to the Defaulting Party.
(i)
Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination
Event:—
(ii)
One Affected Party. Subject to clause (3) below, if there is one Affected
Party, the Early
Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i),
except that references
to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be
references to the
Affected Party and to the Non-affected Party, respectively.
(1)
Two Affected Parties. Subject to clause (3) below, if there are two Affected
Parties, each
party will determine an amount equal to the Termination Currency Equivalent
of the sum of the
Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or negative) for
each Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and the
Early Termination
Amount will be an amount equal to (A) the sum of (I) one-half of the
difference between the higher
amount so determined (by party "X") and the lower amount so determined (by
party "Y") and
EFTA01441554
(II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X
less (B) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y. If the
Early Termination
Amount is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative number,
X will pay the absolute
value of the Early Termination Amount to Y.
(2)
13
ISDA® 2002
Mid-Market Events. If thal Termination Event is an Illegality or a Force
Majeure Event,
then the Early Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with
clause (1) or (2) above,
as appropriate, except that, for the purpose of determining a Close-out
Amount or Close-out
Amounts, the Determining Party will;—
(3)
if obtaining quotations from one or more third parties (or from any of the
Determining Party's Affiliates), ask each third party or Affiliate (I) not
to take account of
the current creditworthiness of the Determining Party or any existing Credit
Support
Document and (II) to provide mid-market quotations; and
(A)
(B) in any other case, use mid-market values without regard to the
creditworthiness of
the Determining Party.
Adjustment for Bankruptcy, In circumstances where an Early Termination Date
occurs because
Automatic Early Termination applies in respect of a party, the Early
Termination Amount will be subject to
such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by applicable 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).
(iii)
Adjustment for Illegality or Force Majeure Event. The failure by a party or
any Credit Support
Provider of such party to pay, when due, any Early Termination Amount will
not constitute an Event of
Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(l) if such failure is due to the
occurrence of an event or
circumstance which would, if it occurred with respect to payment, delivery
or compliance related to a
Transaction, constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure
Event. Such amount will (1) accrue
interest and otherwise be treated as an Unpaid Amount owing to the other
party if subsequently an Early
EFTA01441555
Termination Date results from an Event of Default, a Credit Event Upon
Merger or an Additional
Termination Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are
Affected Transactions and
(2) otherwise accrue interest in accordance with Section 9(h)(ii)(2).
(iv)
Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that 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 the
termination of the Terminated
Transactions.
(V)
Set-Off. Any Early Termination Amount payable to one party (the "Payee") by
the oUier party (the
"Payer"), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or where there
is one Affected Party in the case where
either a Credit Event Upon Merger has occurred or any other Termination
Event in respect of which all outstanding
Transactions are Affected Transactions has occurred, will, at the option of
the Non-defaulting Party or the Non -
affected Party, as the case may be ("X") (and without prior notice to the
Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, as the
case may be), be reduced by its set-off against any other amounts ("Other
Amounts") payable by the Payee to the
Payer (whether or not arising under this Agreement, matured or contingent
and imespective of the currency, place of
payment or place of booking of the obligation) To the extent that any Other
Amounts are so set off, those Other
Amounts will be discharged promptly and in all respects. X will give notice
to the other party of any set-off effected
under this Section 6(f).
(0
For this purpose, cither the Early Termination Amount or the Other Amounts
(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, in good faith and using conunercially reasonable
procedures, to purchase the relevant
amount of such currency.
14
ISDA® 2002
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 Section 6(f) wilt be effective to create a charge or other
security interest. This Section 6(f) will be
EFTA01441556
without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, offset,
combination of accounts, lien, right of retention or
withholding or similar right or requirement to which any party is at any
time otherwise entitled or subject (whether by
operation of law, contract or otherwise).
Transfer
7.
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii) and to the extent permitted by applicable law,
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 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
(a)
a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
Early Termination Amount payable
to it by a Defaulting Party, together with any amounts payable on or with
respect to that interest and any other rights
associated with that interest pursuant to Sections 8, 9(h) and 11.
(b)
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 7 will be
void.
8
Contractual Currency
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 actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed,
acting in good faith and using
commercially reasonable procedures 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 Contracmal 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
EFTA01441557
payment will refund promptly the amount of
such excess.
(a)
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 re.spect of this Agreement or (iii) in
respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment of any
amount described in clause (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 purpose
of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is
able, acting in good faith and using
(b)
15
ISDA®2002
commercially reasonable procedures 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.
Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the
indemnities in this Section 8
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.
(c)
(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
Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with
respect to its subject matter. Each of the parties acknowledges that in
entering into this Agreement it has not relied
EFTA01441558
on any oral or written representation, warranty or other assurance (except
as provided for or referred to in this
Agreement) and waives all rights and remedies which might otherwise be
available to it in respect thereof, except that
nothing in this Agreement will limit or exclude any liability of a party for
fraud.
(a)
Amendments. An amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will only be effective if
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 by an exchange of electronic messages
on an electronic messaging system.
(b)
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.

powers, remedies and privileges
provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided
by law.
(d)
(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 and by
electronic messaging system), each
of which will be deemed an original.
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 will
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, by an exchange of electronic messages on
an electronic messaging system
or by an exchange of e-mails, 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
ano^er effective means that any
such counterpart, telex, electronic message or e-mail constitutes a
Confiimation.
(ii)
(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
EFTA01441559
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.

Interest on Defaulted Payments. If a party defaults in the performance of
any payment
obligation, it will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject

Intermediary may, at its
option, deposit the assets with a court of competent jurisdiction or
establish a successor account
at another institution. Any such successor account established by the
Intermediary at another
institution shall be maintained in the same name as the Securities Account;
but other than the
name in which the account is maintained, the Intermediary shall have no
obligation to establish
an account with the same or even similar terms as the Securities Account.
