3. Cash Settlement Provision (unwind procedure): 



Provided that no Event of Default or event with which the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute such an Event of Default shall have occurred and be continuing, and provided that no Early Termination Date has been designated with respect to any Transaction, Counterparty may require either or both such Transactions to be terminated and the remaining payment obligations under such Transaction to be settled and discharged on any Business Day, subject to adjustment in accordance with the Modified Following Business Day Convention (the "Cash Settlement Date") by telephonic notice to the other party at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the day that is five Business Days prior to the Cash Settlement Date. If such notice is given, an amount (the "Cash Settlement Amount") shall be calculated as provided below on the day that is two Business Days prior to the Cash Settlement Date (the "Cash Settlement Determination Date"), and the remaining payment obligations of each party under such Transaction shall be settled and discharged by payment of the Cash Settlement Amount on the Cash Settlement Date.

"Cash Settlement Amount" means: (1) an amount agreed for that purpose by the parties at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York time, on the Cash Settlement Determination Date or at such other time as the parties may agree for such purpose (in either case, the "Determination Time"), or (2) if such an agreement cannot be reached, the amount which would be payable if (a) the Cash Settlement Date was an Early Termination Date (provided that the Cash Settlement Amount shall be determined at the Determination Time and paid for value on the Cash Settlement Date), (b) such Transaction was the only Terminated Transaction, (c) the Termination Currency was U.S. Dollars, and (d) the amount due in respect of such Early Termination Date was calculated in accordance with Section 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) of the Agreement; provided, however, that notwithstanding any contrary provision of the definitions of "Settlement Amount" or "Market Quotation" or any other provision of the Agreement, quotations shall be solicited from five leading dealers in the U.S. Dollar interest rate swap market which would qualify as "Reference Market-makers" if selected for that purpose by either party (the "Selected Dealers"), each of the Selected Dealers shall be instructed to provide quotations of the market value of such Transaction and the parties shall obtain such quotations in concert or as agreed between themselves at the Determination Time. 

A Cash Settlement Amount which is agreed upon by the parties shall be paid by the party designated in such agreement. A Cash Settlement Amount calculated in accordance with Section 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) of the Agreement shall be paid by the party which would be designated as the payer of such an amount under the Agreement. Upon payment of the Cash Settlement Amount payable on the Cash Settlement Date, this Transaction shall terminate and neither party shall have any further rights or obligations hereunder.
