International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.





MASTER
AGREEMENT




dated as of August 14, 2008




	 	 	 	 	 
	GMAC
LLC and RESIDENTIAL CAPITAL, LLC








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 (I) 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 (10 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.

jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good

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)).

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,

Support Document.

directs:—




(i) any forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in the Schedule or
any Confirmation;




(ii) any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; and




(iii) upon reasonable demand by such other party, any form or document that may be
required or reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party or its
Credit Support Provider to make a payment under this Agreement or any applicable Credit
Support Document without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with
such deduction or withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or
submission of such form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial
position of the 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

all reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future.



(c) Comply with Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and orders
to which it may be subject if failure so to comply would materially impair its ability to perform

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

office 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.

party; or




(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or

Conditions agreed to by your firm.

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)(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)(1)(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.




If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give notice to the
other party to that effect within such 20 day period, whereupon the other party may effect
such a transfer within 30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).




Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to and
conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which consent will not be
withheld if such other party’s policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter into
transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.




(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 (I) 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 the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency
of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the
Contractual Currency so received falls short of the amount in the 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.

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

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

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.

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
