MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of August 4, 2008
THE ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND PLC (PARTY A) and EACH COUNTERPARTY LISTED ON EXHBIIT A ATTACHED
HERETO, severally and not jointly (each, a PARTY B) 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 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 partys 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 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
ISDA ® 1992
2
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:
(a) Basic Representations.

Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to
authorize such execution, delivery and performance;
(iii) No Violation or Conflict. Such execution, delivery and performance do not violate or
conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its constitutional documents, any
order or

3
judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or
any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;
(iv) Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained

Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations,
enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy,
reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors rights
generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application
(regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).
(b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its
knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or
circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.
(c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any
of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal,

is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support
Document.

under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party:

party in receipt of such demand),
ISDA ® 1992
4
with any such form or document to be accurate and completed in a manner reasonably

Tax Jurisdiction) and will indemnify the other party against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon
the other party or in respect of the other partys execution or performance of this Agreement by
any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the
other party.
5. Events of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events of Default. 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 of the following

obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by

ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the
purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms)
prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction
to which such Credit
ISDA ® 1992
5

(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f))

or repeated;
(v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or
any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and,
after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a
liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified
Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace
period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of,
or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at
least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or
(3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or
such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its
behalf);
(vi) Cross Default. If Cross Default is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the
occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event
(however described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
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 Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in
such 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 collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an
aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or

becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its
inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment,
arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has
instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any
other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting
creditors rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in
the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such
proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry
of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B)
is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the
institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up,

ISDA ® 1992
6

such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case
within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it
which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to
any of 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 Provider of such party
consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or 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)) 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
ISDA ® 1992
7
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 (X), 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 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.
ISDA ® 1992
8
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 partys 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) 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 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(e)) 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 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
ISDA ® 1992
9
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
Partys 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 Partys 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 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:
ISDA ® 1992
10
(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 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
ISDA ® 1992
11
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.
(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.
ISDA ® 1992
12
(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
(a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this Agreement may be given in
any manner set forth below (except that a notice or other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not
be given by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in

employee of the recipient in legible form (it being agreed that the burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be met by a transmission report generated by the senders facsimile machine); | |||
(iv) | if sent by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the equivalent (return receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is attempted; or | ||
(v) | if sent by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message is received, unless the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered (or attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day. |
(b) Change of Addresses. Either party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or
facsimile number or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications are to be
given to it.
13. Governing Law and Jurisdiction
(a) Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law
specified in the Schedule.
(b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this Agreement
(Proceedings), each party irrevocably:
(i) submits to the jurisdiction of the English courts, if this Agreement is expressed to be
governed by English law, or to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of
New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New
York City, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by the laws of the State of New
York; and
(ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any
Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been
brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to
such Proceedings, that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.
Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other
jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English law, the
Contracting States, as defined in Section 1(3) of the Civil Jurisdiction and Judgments Act 1982 or
any modification, extension or re-enactment thereof for the time being in force) nor will the
bringing of Proceedings in any one or more jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in
any other jurisdiction.
(c) Service of Process. Each party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified
opposite its name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process in any
Proceedings. If for any reason any partys Process Agent is unable to act as such, such party will
promptly notify the 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 the manner
provided for notices in Section 12. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of either
party to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.
(d) Waiver of Immunities. Each party irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, with respect to itself and its revenues and assets (irrespective of their use or
intended use), all immunity on the grounds of sovereignty or other similar grounds from (i) suit,
(ii) jurisdiction of any court, (iii) relief by way of injunction, order for specific performance
or for recovery of property, (iv) attachment of its assets (whether before or after judgment) and
(v) execution or enforcement of any judgment to which it or its revenues or assets might otherwise
be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction and irrevocably agrees, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, that it will not claim any such immunity in any

Loss means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the case
may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably
determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a
negative number) 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
payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition
precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid
duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a
partys legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine
its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as
of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not) determine
its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers
in the relevant markets.
Market Quotation means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making
the determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers.
Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid 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
ISDA ® 1992
16
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.
Non-default Rate means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or evidence of any
actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if it were to fund the relevant
amount.
Non-defaulting Party has the meaning specified in Section 6(a).
Office means a branch or office of a party, which may be such partys head or home office.
Potential Event of Default means any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time
or both, would constitute an Event of Default.
Reference Market-makers means four leading dealers in the relevant market selected by the party
determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit standing
which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to
offer or to make an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers
having an office in the same city.
Relevant Jurisdiction means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in which the party
is incorporated organized, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, (b) where an
Office through which the party is acting for purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which
the party executes this Agreement and (d) in relation to any payment, from or through which such
payment is made.
Scheduled Payment Date means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section
2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.
Set-off means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or withholding or
similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount under Section 6 is entitled or
subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that
is exercised by, or imposed on, such payer.
Settlement Amount means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum of:
(a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative)
for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation
is determined; and
(b) such partys Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid Amounts)
for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation
cannot be determined or would not (in the reasonable belief of the party making the determination)
produce a commercially reasonable result.

applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is a rate swap transaction, basis swap,
forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity option, equity or equity index swap, equity or
equity index option, bond option, interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap
transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction, currency swap transaction, cross-currency rate
swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including any option with
respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of these transactions and (c) any other
transaction identified as a Specified Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation.
Stamp Tax means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.
Tax means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature
(including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by any government or other
taxing authority in respect of any payment under this Agreement other than a stamp, registration,
documentation or similar tax.

before that Early Termination Date).

Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in respect of any amount denominated in a currency
other than the Termination Currency (the Other Currency), the amount in the Termination Currency
determined by the party making the relevant determination as being required to purchase such
amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if the relevant
Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is determined as of a later date, that later date,
with the Termination Currency at the rate equal to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange
agent (selected as provided below) for the purchase of such Other Currency with the Termination
Currency at or about 11:00 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 Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date or that later date. The foreign
exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be
selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties.
Termination Event means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or, if specified
to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event.
Termination Rate means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the cost (without proof
or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified by such party) if it were to fund or
of funding such amounts.
Unpaid Amounts owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination Date, the
aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or
that would have become

18
payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early
Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in respect of
each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have
been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on or prior to
such Early Termination Date and which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an
amount equal to the fair market value of that which was (or would have been) required to be
delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to the
extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such amounts, from (and
including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would have been required to have been paid
or performed to (but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such amounts
of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days
elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above shall be
reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each
party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair
market values reasonably determined by both parties.

any inconsistency between Paragraph 13 and the other provisions of this Annex, Paragraph 13 will
prevail.
(b) Secured Party and Pledgor. All references in this Annex to the Secured Party will be to
either party when acting in that capacity and all corresponding references to the Pledgor will be
to the other party when acting in that capacity; provided, however, that if Other Posted Support is

respect to that Other Posted Support will be to that party as the beneficiary thereof and will not
subject that support or that party as the beneficiary thereof to provisions of law generally
relating to security 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, lien on and right of Set-off against all Posted Collateral Transferred to or received by the
Secured Party hereunder. Upon the Transfer by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of Posted
Collateral, the security interest and lien granted hereunder on that Posted Collateral will be
released immediately and, to the extent possible, without any further action by either party.
Paragraph 3. Credit Support Obligations
(a) Delivery Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon demand made by the Secured Party on or
promptly
following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the
Pledgors Minimum
Transfer Amount, then the Pledgor will Transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support having
a Value as of the
date of Transfer at least equal to the applicable Delivery Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph
13). Unless otherwise
specified in Paragraph 13, the Delivery Amount applicable to the Pledgor for any Valuation Date
will equal the amount
by which:
(i) | the Credit Support Amount | ||
exceeds | |||
(ii) | the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party. |
(b) Return Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Pledgor on or promptly

Amount, then the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor Posted Credit Support specified by the
Pledgor in that
demand having a Value as of the date of Transfer as close as practicable to the applicable Return
Amount (rounded
pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Return Amount
applicable to the Secured
Party for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:
(i) | the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party | ||
exceeds | |||
(ii) | the Credit Support Amount. |
Credit Support Amount means, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, for any Valuation Date
(i) the Secured Partys Exposure for that Valuation Date plus (ii) the aggregate of all
Independent Amounts applicable to the Pledgor, if any, minus (iii) all Independent Amounts
applicable to the Secured Party, if any, minus (iv) the Pledgors Threshold; provided, however,
that the Credit Support Amount will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of Credit
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 Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of
the Secured
Party under Paragraphs 3,4(d) (ii), 5 and 6(d) is subject to the conditions precedent that:

will be made by the Valuation Agent as of the Valuation Time. The Valuation Agent will notify each
party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) of its calculations not later than
the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following the applicable Valuation Date (or in the
case of Paragraph 6(d), following the date of calculation).
2
(d) Substitutions.

Posted Credit
Support specified by the Pledgor in its notice not later than the Local Business Day
following the date on which the Secured Party receives the Substitute Credit Support, unless
otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 (the Substitution Date); provided that the Secured
Party will only be obligated to Transfer Posted Credit Support with a Value as of the date

(if the Valuation Agent is not the other party) not later than the close of business on the Local
Business Day following (X) the date that the demand is made under Paragraph 3 in case of (I) above
or (Y) the date that the demand is made under Paragraph 3 in the case of (I) above or (Y) the date

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
Agents original calculations will be used for that Transaction (or Swap
Transaction);
(C) utilizing the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating the Value,
if disputed, of Posted Credit Support.
(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 recalculate the Value as of the date of Transfer pursuant
to Paragraph 13.
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.
3
Paragraph 6. Holding and Using Posted Collateral
(a) Care of Posted Collateral. Without limiting the Secured Partys 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 Pledgors 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
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 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 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).
4
(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 party if:
(i) that party 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 Partys 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:

to Posted
Collateral held by the Secured Party;

or other entity not within the control of the Pledgor involved in the Transfer of that
Eligible Collateral gives the notices and takes the action required of it under applicable
law for perfection of that interest); and

herewith.

(a) Default Interest. A Secured Party that fails to make, when due, any Transfer of Posted
Collateral or the Interest Amount will be obliged to pay the Pledgor (to the extent permitted

the items of property that were required to be Transferred, from (and including) the date that the
Posted Collateral or Interest Amount was required to be Transferred to (but excluding) the date of
Transfer of that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount. This interest will be calculated on the
basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
(b) Further Assurances. Promptly following a demand made by a party, the other party will execute,
deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific assignment or other document and take
any other action that may be necessary or desirable and reasonably requested by that party to

Support or an Interest Amount or to effect or document a release of a security interest on Posted
Collateral or an Interest Amount.
(c) Further Protection. The Pledgor will promptly give notice to the Secured Party of, and defend
against, any suit, action, proceeding or lien that involves Posted Credit Support Transferred by

Partys rights under Paragraph 6(c).
