(i)to assign or transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement, subject to Section 14, to another of its branches, offices or affiliates, or to any leading participant in the interest rate cap market, that may make the payments to be made by it hereunder lawfully and without withholding for or on account of Taxes; or

4814-8780-0582.10

(a)If notice of termination is given pursuant to Section 10, the Seller shall pay the Buyer its Damages.

(c)Payments to be made in accordance with this Section shall be made on the Early Termination Date.  If the Buyer is entitled to be paid any amount in respect of its Damages in accordance with this Section, it shall submit to the Seller a statement in reasonable detail of those Damages.

Section 12.  Market Quotation.

(a)For the purpose of determining the Market Quotation, the Buyer shall select, four leading participants in the interest rate cap market (each a “Reference Market‐maker”), in its sole discretion and in good faith, with a view to minimizing the Market Quotation (to the extent required by law); provided, however, that in doing so the Buyer shall be entitled to select market participants that are of the highest credit standing 

9

4814-8780-0582.10 

Barclays Reference Number: 35948998B / 35948848B



 

and that otherwise satisfy all the criteria that the Buyer applies generally at the time in deciding whether to enter into an interest rate protection transaction.

(b)The Buyer shall request from each of the Reference Market‐makers it has selected a quotation of the amount in Dollars which that Reference Market‐maker would charge on the Early Termination Date as a flat amount for entering into an agreement, effective on the Early Termination Date, pursuant to which it would be obligated to make all the payments scheduled to be made by the Seller under Section 2 of this Agreement after the Early Termination Date.

(c)The Market Quotation shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded up, if necessary, to the nearest cent) of the amounts described in Section 12(b) that are quoted to the Buyer by the Reference Market‐makers it has selected or, if only one Reference Market‐maker will quote such a fee, the Market Quotation Value shall be the amount quoted by that Reference Market‐maker.

Section 13.  Costs and Expenses.

(a)Each of the parties shall pay, or reimburse the other on demand for, all stamp, registration, documentation or similar taxes or duties, and any penalties or interest that may be due with respect thereto, that may be imposed by any jurisdiction in respect of its execution or delivery of this Agreement.  If any such tax or duty is imposed by any jurisdiction as the result of the conduct or status of both parties, each party shall pay one half of the amount of the tax or duty.

(b)The Seller shall pay, or reimburse the Buyer on demand for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Buyer in connection with enforcement of its rights under this Agreement or as a consequence of a Termination Event, including, without limitation, fees and expenses of legal counsel.

(c)Upon the Buyer’s failure to pay the Fixed Amount pursuant to Section 2, if the value of this Agreement is greater than zero as determined in the manner described in Section 2, the Buyer shall pay, or reimburse the Seller on demand for, all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the Seller in connection with enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement including, without limitation, fees and expenses of legal counsel. 

Section 14.  Nonassignment.  Neither party shall assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations hereunder or any interest herein to any other Person or any of its other branches or offices without the prior written consent of the other party to this Agreement, unless the assignment or transfer by the Seller is pursuant to Section 5 or Section 6 and provided that:

(a)the Seller gives the Buyer 10 Business Days’ prior written notice of the assignment or transfer;

(b)the assignee or transferee meets the criteria set forth in Section 5(a) or Section 6(b), as the case may be;

10

4814-8780-0582.10 

Barclays Reference Number: 35948998B / 35948848B



 

(c)the credit policies of the Buyer at the time would permit the Buyer to purchase an interest rate cap from the assignee or transferee without credit support;

(d)a Termination Event does not occur as a result of such transfer;

(e)on or prior to the effective date of the transfer, this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Tax covenants (if any) in Exhibit B to this Agreement) and all other related documents shall have been amended to reflect the transfer in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer; and

(f)on or prior to the effective date of the transfer, Seller shall have agreed in writing to indemnify and hold harmless Buyer in a manner reasonably satisfactory to Buyer from and against any adverse tax consequences and any related fees, expenses and other losses resulting from the transfer, subject to the following conditions:  (i) notwithstanding Seller’s duty to indemnify Buyer, Buyer shall at all times retain sole control and decision‐making authority with regard to any tax issues affecting Buyer or related litigation arising from or in connection with said transfer; and (ii) such indemnification shall be made as such expenses are incurred by Buyer and at such time as Buyer is required to pay any such tax liability, provided that Seller shall not be required to make such indemnification until five Business Days after it has received written notice from Buyer of expenses or liabilities for which Buyer seeks reimbursement.

Any purported transfer in violation of this Section shall be void.  The parties are acting for purposes of this Agreement through their respective branches or offices specified in Exhibit A.

The Seller shall not withhold its consent to an assignment or transfer proposed by the Buyer, or by any subsequent assignee or transferee of the Buyer, if the Seller would be entitled to make the payments it is required to make pursuant to Section 2 to the proposed assignee or transferee lawfully and without withholding for or on account of Taxes and the proposed assignee or transferee assumes the obligations of the Buyer under the Tax covenants (if any) of the Buyer in Exhibit B to this Agreement to the satisfaction of the Seller.

Section 15.  Waivers: Rights Not Exclusive.  No failure or delay by a party in exercising any right hereunder shall operate as a waiver of, or impair, any such right.  No single or partial exercise of any such right shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.  No waiver of any such right shall be effective unless given in writing.  No waiver of any such right shall be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder.  The right to terminate provided for herein is in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights, powers, privileges or remedies provided by law.

(viii)
	
Notice Regarding Client Money Rules. Party A hereby notifies Party B that Barclays Bank PLC, as a CRD credit institution (as such term is defined in the rules of the UK Financial Conduct Authority or any successor thereto (“the FCA”)), holds Party B’s money as banker and not as trustee. Accordingly, Party B’s money will not be held in accordance with the rules within the Client Asset Sourcebook of the FCA (the “Client Money Rules”) and will not be subject to the statutory trust provided for under the Client Money Rules. In particular, Seller shall not segregate Party B’s money from Party A’s money and Party A shall not be liable to account of Party B for any profits made by Party A’s use as banker of such funds. Upon failure of Party A, the client money distribution rules within the rules of the FCA (the “Client Money Distribution Rules”) will not apply to these sums and so Party B will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Distribution Rules.

“Legal Ineligibility Notice” means a written notice from the Secured Party to the Pledgor in which the Secured Party (i) represents that the Secured Party has determined that one or more items of Eligible Credit Support (or a specified amount of any such item) either has ceased to satisfy, or as of a specified date will cease to satisfy, collateral eligibility requirements under law applicable to the Secured Party requiring the collection of variation margin (the “Legal Eligibility Requirements”), (ii) lists the item(s) of Eligible Credit Support (and, if applicable, the specified amount) that have ceased to satisfy, or as of a specified date will cease to satisfy, the Legal Eligibility Requirements, (iii) describes the reason(s) why such item(s) of Eligible Credit Support (or the specified amount thereof) have ceased to satisfy, or will cease to satisfy, the Legal Eligibility Requirements and (iv) specifies the Total Ineligibility Date and, if different, the Transfer Ineligibility Date. 

“Total Ineligibility Date” means the date on which the relevant item of Eligible Credit Support (or a specified amount of such item) has ceased to satisfy, or will cease to satisfy, the Legal Eligibility Requirements applicable to the Secured Party for all purposes hereunder; provided that, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, if such date is earlier than the fifth Local Business Day following the date on which the Legal Ineligibility Notice is delivered, the Total Ineligibility Date will be the fifth Local Business Day following the date of such delivery. 

“Transfer Ineligibility Date” means the date on which the relevant item of Eligible Credit Support (or a specified amount of such item) has ceased to satisfy, or will cease to satisfy, the Legal Eligibility Requirements for purposes of Transfers to the Secured Party hereunder; provided that, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, if such date is earlier than the fifth Local Business Day following the date on which the Legal Ineligibility Notice is delivered, the Transfer Ineligibility Date will be the fifth Local Business Day following the date of such delivery.

(iv)Valuation Percentage. If at any time the Valuation Percentage assigned to an item of Eligible Credit Support with respect to a party (as the Pledgor) under this Annex is greater than the maximum permitted valuation percentage (prescribed or implied) for such item of collateral under any law requiring the collection of variation margin applicable to the other party (as the Secured Party), then the Valuation Percentage with respect to such item of Eligible Credit Support and such party will be such maximum permitted valuation percentage, as notified by the Secured Party to the Pledgor.
