	 	 	 	between	 	 
	 

	 	J. ARON & COMPANY, a general

partnership organized under
the laws of
 the State of New
York (“Aron”)
	 	
and
	 	CALUMET LUBRICANTS CO.,

LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a
limited
 partnership organized
under the laws of
 the State

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 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 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
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:3⁄4

and to perform its obligations under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any
Credit Support Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to
authorise 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 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 by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is
a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such
consents have been complied with; and




(v) Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support
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,
reorganisation, 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)).

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,

party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and
completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and to
be delivered with any reasonably required certification,


in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none is specified,
as soon as reasonably practicable.

3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such failure.

through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located (“Stamp 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 party’s 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 events constitutes an event of default (an “Event of Default”) with respect to such
party:—





(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any payment under
this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) required to be made by it if such
failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such
failure is given to the party;




(ii) Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or
obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or delivery
under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or
obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by
the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before
the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the party;




(iii) Credit Support Default.




(1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or
perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by it in accordance
with any Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable

(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or
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 Support Document relates without the written consent of the other party; or




(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)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit
Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to

to have been made 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

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 instruments (after giving effect to
any applicable notice requirement or grace period);




(vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable

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, official management or liquidation (other

assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets
or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied,
enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured
party maintains possession, or any 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



 




					
	 
	 	6
	 	ISDA ® 1992






 









 





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 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)(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).




(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)(l) 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.




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 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.




(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




 



					
	 
	 	8
	 	ISDA ® 1992






 









 








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 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 Party’s
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 Party’s 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:—




(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 this 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 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.




(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 organisation
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



 




					
	 
	 	12

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

generated by the sender’s 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



 




					
	 
	 	13
	 	ISDA ® 1992






 









 





reason any party’s 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 Proceedings.

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

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



 




					
	 
	 	15
	 	ISDA ® 1992






 









 





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 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

“Office” means a branch or office of a party, which may be such party’s head or home office.

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, organised, 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.

(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 party’s 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

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.

	(b)	 	The Parties agree to add new clauses (g), (h) and (i) to Section 3 as follows, with respect
to Counterparty only:






	 	“(g)	 	 Each representation set forth in Section 6.08 of the PP&E Credit Agreement and

	 	(i)	 	As of the Effective Date, and at all times from the Effective Date until the
Scheduled Maturity Date, the outstanding amount of funded Indebtedness under the PP&E
Credit Agreement is less than U.S. $75,000,000.






	(c)	 	“Specified Transaction”. The term “Specified Transaction” in Section 14 of the Agreement is
amended in its entirety as follows:
	 
	 	 	“Specified Transaction” means, subject to the Schedule, (a) any transaction (including an
agreement with respect thereto) now existing or hereafter entered into between one party to
this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified
Entity of such party) and the other party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider
of such other party or any applicable Specified Entity of such other party) (i) which is a

currently, or in the future becomes, recurrently entered into the financial markets
(including terms and conditions incorporated by reference in such agreement) and that is a
forward, swap, future, option or other derivative on one or more rates, currencies,
commodities, equity securities or other equity instruments, debt securities or other debt
instruments, or economic indices or measures of economic risk or value, (b) any combination
of these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified Transaction in
this agreement or the relevant confirmation.”
	 
	(c)	 	The “Cross Default” provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) will apply to Aron and will apply to
Counterparty, provided that (i) the phrase “or becoming capable at such time of being
declared” shall be deleted from clause (1) of such Section 5(a)(vi); and (ii) the following
language shall be added to the end thereof: “Notwithstanding the foregoing, a default under
subsection (2) hereof shall not constitute an Event of Default if (i) the default was caused
solely by error or omission of an administrative or operational nature; (ii) funds were
available to enable the party to make the payment when due; and (iii) the payment is made
within two Local Business Days of such party’s receipt of written notice of its failure to
pay.”
	 
	 	 	“Specified Indebtedness” will have the meaning specified in Section 14 of the Agreement. For
the purpose of Section 5(a)(vi)(1), any reference to Specified Indebtedness becoming, or
being declared, due and payable, shall in the case of Specified Indebtedness which is a
Hedging Transaction, be deemed to be a reference to Specified Indebtedness being terminated
by the other party to such Hedging Transaction. For purposes of determining whether the
aggregate amount of a Specified Indebtedness exceeds the applicable Threshold Amount with
respect to a Hedging Transaction for which a default, event of default or other similar
condition or event (however described) has occurred, the amount owing by the defaulting
party (“X”) in respect of such Hedging Transaction shall be its mark-to-market value,
reasonably determined by the other party to this Agreement as of the date on which such
determination is being made, provided that the




2









 






	 	 	amount owing by X in respect of such Hedging Transaction shall equal the Netted Close-out
Amount (as defined below) if such Hedging Transaction is governed by a master agreement.
	 
	 	 	“Hedging Transaction” means any Specified Transaction except that, for this purpose only and
with respect to Counterparty only, the words “and any other entity” shall be substituted for
the words “and the other party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such
other party or any applicable Specified Entity of such other party)” where they appear in
the definition of Specified Transaction.
	 
	 	 	“Netted Close-out Amount” means any amount payable or capable at such time of being declared
due and payable by X in respect of an Early Termination Date under any ISDA Master Agreement
or any other similar final netted amount payable by X under any applicable master agreement.
	 
	 	 	“Threshold Amount” means in relation to Aron, U.S. $50,000,000 (or its equivalent in another
currency) and in relation to Counterparty, U.S. $5,000,000 (or its equivalent in another
currency).
	 
	(d)	 	The “Credit Event Upon Merger” provisions of Section 5(b)(iv) will apply to Aron and will
apply to Counterparty provided, however, that “Credit Event Upon Merger” shall
not have its meaning as defined in Section 5(b)(iv), but shall mean, that (i) such Party
(“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates
or amalgamates with, or merges into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to,
another entity (“Y”) or Y merges into X, any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable
Specified Entity of X, (ii) such action does not constitute an event described in Section
5(a)(viii), and (iii) (A) Standard and Poor’s Ratings Group, a division of The McGraw-Hill
Companies Inc. or any successor organization (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. or any
successor organization (“Moody’s”) rates the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or
transferee entity immediately after such action below investment grade (investment grade being
at least BBB- for S&P and Baa3 for Moody’s), or (B) neither S&P nor Moody’s rates the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity immediately after such
action. For the purpose of the forgoing Termination Event, the Affected Party will be either
Party X or Party Y, as the case may be.
	 
	(e)	 	The “Automatic Early Termination” provision of Section 6(a) will not apply to Aron and will
not apply to Counterparty.
	 
	(f)	 	Payments on Early Termination. For the purpose of Section 6(e):






	 	(i)	 	Close-Out Amount will apply.
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The Second Method will apply.






	(g)	 	“Termination Currency” means United States Dollars.
	 
	(h)	 	The parties agree to amend the following subsections of Section 5(a) as follows:






	 	(i)	 	clause (i): in the third line of this clause, delete the word “third” and
insert the word “first;”
	 
	 	(ii)	 	clause (ii): in the fifth line of this clause, delete the word “thirtieth” and
insert the word “fifth;” and




3









 






	 	(iii)	 	clause (vii)(4): delete, following the word “liquidation” in line 9, the
clause beginning with “and, in the case of” and ending with the word “thereof” in line
13; and in Clause (vii)(7): delete, following the word “assets” in line 19, the clause
beginning with “and such secured party” and ending with the word “thereafter” in line
21, to eliminate the 30-day grace period.
	 
	 	(iv)	 	The parties also agree to add a new clause (ix) as follows:






	 	(ix)	 	Adequate Assurance. A party (“X”) fails to provide adequate
assurance of its ability to perform all of its outstanding obligations
hereunder to the other party (“Y”) on or before 48 hours after a request for
such assurance is made by Y when Y has reasonable grounds for insecurity






	(i)	 	Additional Events of Default with respect to Counterparty. Section 5(a) is hereby amended by
including the following as clauses (x), (xi), (xii), (xiii), (xiv) and (xv) and the occurrence
of one or more of the events or circumstances set forth in such clause (x), (xi), (xii),
(xiii), (xiv) or (xv) shall constitute additional Events of Default to which Counterparty
shall be the sole Defaulting Party:






	 	“(x)	 	 Each of the Events of Default (as such term is defined in the
PP&E Credit Agreement) (together with the relevant provisions of any other
Section or Sections to which such Events of Default refer, including
definitions) of the PP&E Credit Agreement is hereby incorporated herein by this
reference and made a part of this Agreement to the same extent as if the PP&E
Credit Agreement were set forth in full herein, provided that any reference in
such Events of Default to the “Lenders”, “Required Lenders” or the
“Administrative Agent” shall be deemed to be a reference to Aron. The
occurrence at any time of any such Event of Default under the PP&E Credit
Agreement will constitute an Event of Default with respect to Counterparty for
the purposes of Section 5(a) of the Agreement. Except with respect to (i) an
Event of Default under Section 9.01(b) of the PP&E Credit Agreement due to
failure of a Loan Party (as defined in the PP&E Credit Agreement) to perform or
observe any term, covenant or agreement contained in Sections 8.01 (Liens) and
8.05 (Dispositions) of the PP&E Credit Agreement and (ii) an Event of Default
under Section 9.01(c) of the PP&E Credit Agreement due to failure of a Loan
Party to perform or observe Section 7.07 (Maintenance of Insurance) of the PP&E
Credit Agreement, if the Required Lenders, or the Lenders, as appropriate,
amend, waive, suspend, supplement or modify any such Event of Default, such
Event of Default shall be deemed amended, waived, suspended, supplemented or
modified hereunder without need for any act by Aron. If the Required Lenders,
or the Lenders, as appropriate, amend, waive, suspend or modify any covenant
contained in the PP&E Credit Agreement (other than Section 7.07 (Maintenance of
Insurance), Section 8.01 (Liens) and Section 8.05 (Dispositions) of the PP&E
Credit Agreement), then such covenant shall be deemed so amended, waived,
suspended, supplemented or modified hereunder without need for any act by Aron.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Required Lenders, or the Lenders, as
appropriate, amend, waive, suspend, supplement or modify Section 7.07
(Maintenance of Insurance), Section 8.01 (Liens) or Section 8.05 (Dispositions)
of the PP&E Credit Agreement, such covenant will be deemed to be incorporated
herein as it existed immediately prior to such amendment, waiver, suspension,




4









 






	 	 	 	supplement or modification. If for any reason such PP&E Credit Agreement
should for any reason terminate, such Events of Default will be incorporated
herein as they existed immediately prior to such event;
	 
	 	(xi)	 	Failure by Counterparty to deliver the Mandatory Additional
Collateral as and when required under Part 7(j)(a);
	 
	 	(xii)	 	Counterparty’s breach of the Volume Limitations and such breach
is not remedied (whether by unwinding or liquidating one or more Covered
Transactions or otherwise) within two (2) Local Business Days;
	 
	 	(xiii)	 	Failure by Counterparty to comply with any of the other covenants or
agreements set forth in Part 7; and
	 
	 	(xiv)	 	The occurrence of an Involuntary Disposition Prepayment Event in
excess of US$50,000,000,000.






	(j)	 	Additional Termination Event will apply. It will constitute an Additional Termination Event
hereunder upon the occurrence of any of the following events:






	 	(i)	 	Concurrent with the Effective Date, the failure of the
Counterparty to provide the Aron Letter of Credit;
	 
	 	(ii)	 	The occurrence of a Letter of Credit Default;
	 
	 	(iii)	 	Any of the following occurs with respect to Counterparty’s
obligations to Aron under this Agreement:






	 	(A)	 	such obligations cease to be secured by a first
priority lien on the PP&E Collateral and a second priority lien on the
ABL Collateral pursuant to the Collateral Documents and the
Intercreditor Agreement;
	 
	 	(B)	 	such obligations cease to be equally and
ratably secured and rank at least pari passu with Counterparty’s
obligations to the holders of the Secured Obligations holding a first
priority security interest in the PP&E Collateral;
	 
	 	(C)	 	such obligations cease to be guaranteed
pursuant to the Guaranty at any time for any reason.






	 	(iv)	 	The PP&E Credit Agreement is refinanced or replaced by another
credit facility or amended and/or amended and restated to increase
the funded Indebtedness (from such amount as of the Effective Date) or
Commitments or to add borrowing tranches (whether pursuant to Section
11.01(b)(ii) of the PP&E Credit Agreement or otherwise); provided,
however, that such event shall not constitute an Additional Termination Event
in the following circumstances: (i) if the terms of such replacement credit
facility amendment or amendment and restatement regarding hedge security and
collateral are identical to or, with respect to Aron, better than the terms,
including without limitation the then outstanding loan balances and amounts of
other obligations, of such replaced credit facility (as determined by Aron in
its reasonable discretion) or (ii) if the terms of such




5









 






	 	 	 	replacement credit facility amendment or amendment and restatement regarding
hedge security and collateral are, with respect to Aron, worse than the
terms of such replaced credit facility (as determined by Aron), so long as
such terms are acceptable to Aron in its sole discretion.





          For the purpose of each of the foregoing Termination Events, Counterparty shall be the sole
Affected Party.





	(k)	 	Early Termination. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 6(a) or Section 6(b),
the parties agree that, except with respect to Transactions (if any) that are subject to
Automatic Early Termination under Section 6(a), the Non-defaulting Party or the party that is
not the Affected Party (in a case where a Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv), or an
Additional Termination Event for which there is a single Affected Party, has occurred) is not
required to terminate the Transactions on a single day, but rather may terminate the
Transactions over a commercially reasonable period of time (not to exceed ten days) (the
“Early Termination Period”). The last day of the Early Termination Period shall be the Early
Termination Date for purposes of Section 6; provided, however, that interest shall accrue on
the Transactions terminated during the Early Termination Period prior to the Early Termination
Date at the Non-default Rate.





Part 2. Tax Representations





	(a)	 	Payer Tax Representations. For the purposes of Section 3(e), Aron and Counterparty make the
following representation:
	 
	 	 	It is not required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any relevant
governmental revenue authority, of any Relevant Jurisdiction to make any deduction or
withholding for or on account of any Tax from any payment (other than interest under Section
2(e), 6(d)(ii), or 6(e) of this Agreement) to be made by it to the other party under this
Agreement. In making this representation, it may rely on (i) the accuracy of any
representations made by the other party pursuant to Section 3(f) of this Agreement, (ii) the

Section 4(a)(i) or 4(a)(iii) of this Agreement, and (iii) the satisfaction of the agreement
of the other party contained in Section 4(d) of this Agreement, provided that it shall not
be a breach of this representation where reliance is placed on clause (ii) and the other
party does not deliver a form or document under Section 4(a)(iii) by reason of material
prejudice to its legal or commercial position.
	 
	(b)	 	Payee Tax Representations. For the purposes of Section 3(f), Counterparty makes the
following representations:

Terminated Transaction but, in the aggregate, for not less than all Terminated
Transactions. Each Close-out Amount will be determined as of the Early Termination
Date or, if that would

of the same type used by the Determining Party in the regular course of its business
for the valuation of similar transactions.




	 	 	 	The Determining Party will consider, taking into account the standards and
procedures described in this definition, quotations pursuant to clause (i) above or
relevant market data pursuant to clause (ii) above unless the Determining Party
reasonably believes in good faith that such quotations or relevant market data are
not readily available or would produce a result that would not satisfy those
standards. When considering information described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii)
above, the Determining Party may include costs of funding, to the extent costs of
funding are not and would not be a component of the other information being
utilized. Third parties supplying quotations pursuant to clause (i) above or market

	 	 	 	Commercially reasonable procedures used in determining a Close-out Amount may
include the following:-




13









 












(1) application to relevant market data from third parties pursuant to clause (ii)
above or information from internal sources pursuant to clause (iii) above of pricing

business in pricing or valuing transactions between the Determining Party and
unrelated third parties that are similar to the Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions; and




(2) application of different valuation methods to Terminated Transactions or
groups of Terminated Transactions depending on the type, complexity, size or number
of the Terminated Transactions or group of Terminated Transactions.




	(g)	 	Set-off. The parties agree to amend Section 6 by adding a new Section 6(f) as follows:






“(f) Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv)
with respect to a party (“X”), the other party (“Y”) will have the right (but not be
obliged) without prior notice to X or any other person to set-off or apply any matured
payment obligation of X owed to Y (or any Affiliate of Y) (whether or not arising under this
Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the
obligation) against any obligation of Y (or any Affiliate of Y) owed to X (whether or not
arising under this Agreement, and regardless of the currency, place of payment or booking
office of the obligation). Y will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected
under this Section 6(f). X will give notice to the other party of any setoff effected under
this Section 6(f).




	 	 	Amounts (or the relevant portion of such amounts) subject to set-off may be converted by Y
into the Termination Currency at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able,
acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such
currency.
	 
	 	 	If any obligation is unascertained, Y 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) shall be effective to create a charge or other security
interest. This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of
set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time
otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).”

Agreement will prevail. Subject to Section 1(b), in the event of any inconsistency between

jury in any Proceeding.

PARAGRAPH 6. HOLDING AND USING POSTED COLLATERAL



(a) CARE OF POSTED COLLATERAL. Without limiting the Secured Party’s 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 Pledgor’s 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 any
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,


6









 






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 Local 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).




     (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)(l) 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;

Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that party; or

Condition with respect to the Pledgor has occurred and is continuing or (2) an Early Termination

are then due, the Secured Party may exercise one or more of the following rights and remedies:




     (i) all rights and remedies available to a secured party under applicable law with respect to
Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party;



     (ii) any other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the terms of Other

Party (or any obligation of the
Secured Party to Transfer that Posted Collateral); and



8









 





     (iv) the right to liquidate any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party through one or
more public or private sales or other dispositions with such notice, if any, as may be required
under applicable law, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor,
including any equity or right of redemption by the Pledgor (with the Secured Party having the right
to purchase any or all of the Posted Collateral to be sold) and to apply the proceeds (or the Cash
equivalent thereof) from the liquidation of the Posted Collateral to any amounts payable by the
Pledgor
with respect to any Obligations in that order as the Secured Party may elect.



Each party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of securities may decline
speedily in value and is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, and, accordingly, the
Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice
of any sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party, except any notice that is required
under applicable law and cannot be waived.



(b) PLEDGOR’S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If at any time an 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 (except in the case of an Early Termination Date relating to less than all Transactions
(or Swap Transactions) where the Secured Party has paid in full all of its obligations that arc
then due under Section 6(e) of this Agreement):




     (i) the Pledgor may exercise all rights and remedies available to a pledgor under applicable
law with respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party;



     (ii) the Pledgor may exercise any other rights and remedies available to the Pledgor under the
terms of Other Posted Support, if any;



     (iii) the Secured Party will be obligated immediately to Transfer all Posted Collateral and
the Interest Amount to the Pledgor; and



     (iv) to the extent that Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount is not so Transferred
pursuant to (iii) above, the Pledgor may:



     (A) Set-off any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations against any
Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party (or any
obligation of the Secured Party to Transfer that Posted Collateral); and



9









 





     (B) to the extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A) above, withhold payment of
any remaining amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations, up to the Value of
any remaining Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party, until that Posted Collateral is
Transferred to the Pledgor.


(c) DEFICIENCIES AND EXCESS PROCEEDS. The Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor any proceeds
and Posted Credit Support remaining after liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs
8(a) and 8(b) after satisfaction in full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any
Obligations; the Pledgor in all events will remain liable for any amounts remaining unpaid after
any liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b).



(d) FINAL RETURNS. When no amounts are or thereafter may become payable by the Pledgor with respect
to any Obligations (except for any potential liability under Section 2(d) of this Agreement), the
Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor all Posted Credit Support and the Interest Amount, if
any.




PARAGRAPH 9. REPRESENTATIONS

each date on which it, as the Pledgor, Transfers Eligible Collateral) that:

Transfers as the Pledgor and has taken all necessary actions to authorize the granting of that
security interest and lien;

Transfers to the Secured Party hereunder, free and clear of any security interest, lien,

this Annex, the Secured Party will have a valid and perfected first priority security interest
therein (assuming that any central clearing corporation or any third-party financial intermediary
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



     (iv) the performance by it of its obligations under this Annex will not result in the creation
of any security interest, hen or other encumbrance on any Posted Collateral other than the security
interest and lien granted under Paragraph 2.



10









 





PARAGRAPH 10. EXPENSES



(a) GENERAL. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 10(b) and 10(c). each party will pay its
own costs and expenses in connection with performing its obligations under this Annex and neither
party will be liable for any costs and expenses incurred by the other party in connection herewith.



(b) POSTED CREDIT SUPPORT. The Pledgor will promptly pay when due all taxes, assessments or charges
of any nature that are imposed with respect to Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party upon

Party, equally by the parties.




PARAGRAPH 11. MISCELLANEOUS



(a) DEFAULT INTEREST. A Secured Party that fails to make, when due, any Transfer of Posted
Collateral or the Interest Amount will be obligated to pay the Pledgor (to the extent permitted
under applicable law) an amount equal to interest at the Default Rate multiplied by the Value of
the items of property that were required to be Transferred, from (and including) the date that
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.

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

security interest on Posted Collateral or an Interest Amount.

against, any suit, action, proceeding or lien that involves Posted Credit Support Transferred by

Party’s rights under Paragraph 6(c).

including, but not limited to, all calculations, valuations and determinations made by either
party, will be made in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.
