MASTER AGREEMENT    
  


dated
as of September 20, 2001 


TOYOTA
MOTOR CREDIT CORPORATION and TOYOTA AUTO RECEIVABLES 2001-C OWNER TRUST 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. 





2





 




    (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.



    (i)  Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organisation or
incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing; 


    (ii) Powers. It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement to which
is it a party, to deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver 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 



3





 


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)). 




    (b) Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event
with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which it is a party. 


    (c) Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any
action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability
against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document. 


    (d) Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to
the other party and is identified for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect. 



    (e) Payer Tax Representation. Each representation specified in the Schedule as being made by it for the purpose of this
Section 3(e) is accurate and true. 


    (f)  Payee Tax Representations. Each representation specified in the Schedule as being made by it for the purpose of
this Section 3(f) is accurate and true. 


4.  Agreements  


    Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to
which it is a party:— 


    (a) Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party or, in certain cases under subparagraph
(iii) below, to such government or taxing authority as the other party reasonably 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 specified, as soon as reasonably practicable. 



    (b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and effect all consents of any
governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained by it with respect to
this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use all reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future. 


4





 


    (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 its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party. 


    (d) Tax Agreement. It will give notice of any failure of a representation made by it under Section 3(f) to be
accurate and true promptly upon learning of such failure. 


    (e) Payment of Stamp Tax. Subject to Section 11, it will pay any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon it or in
respect of its execution or performance of this Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled, or considered to have its seat, or in which a branch or
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. 


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 grace period has elapsed; 


    (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 have been incorrect or misleading in any
material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated; 



5





 


    (v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable
Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an
acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any
payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Local Business
Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by
any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf); 


    (vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the occurrence or
existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable
Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the
applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared, due and payable under such
agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or
collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or 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 Specified Entity of such
party:— 



	(1)
	is
dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability
generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted
against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors' rights, or a petition is
presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a
judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or
restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other
than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian
or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its 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 




6





 





    (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, serving 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 specified in
(ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to
(iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:— 



    (i)  Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is
entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it
becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):— 



    (1) to
perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with
any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or 


    (2) to
perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has
under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction; 




    (ii) Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent
jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in
Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other
party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a
payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional
amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)); 


    (iii) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the "Burdened Party") on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either
(1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 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 



7





 


or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii); 


    (iv) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such
party ("X"), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to,
another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker
than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will
be the Affected Party); or 


    (v) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation
as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation). 




    (c) Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an
Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default. 



6.  Early Termination  


    (a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the
"Defaulting Party") has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the
relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is
specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant
proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous
thereto, (8). 


    (b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.



    (i)  Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other
party, specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require. 


    (ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If either an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs
and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early
Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within
20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or
Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist. 


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). 



8





 


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 (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 



9





 


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 





10





 




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 


11





 


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. 



12





 


    (ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A
Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an
exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding
supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation. 




    (f)  No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement
will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power
or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 


    (g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the
construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement. 


10. Offices; Multibranch Parties  


    (a) If
Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office
represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or 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 to which the Defaulting
Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection. 


12. Notices  


    (a) Effectiveness. Any notice or other communication in respect of this Agreement may be given in any manner set forth
below (except that a notice or other communication under Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system) to the address or number or in accordance with
the electronic messaging system details provided (see the Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated:— 



    (i)  if
in writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is delivered; 


    (ii) if
sent by telex, on the date the recipient's answerback is received; 


    (iii) if
sent by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is received by a responsible employee of the recipient in legible form, it being agreed that the
burden of proving receipt will be 



13





 


on the sender and will not be met by a transmission report 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 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 


14





 



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.

"Indemnifiable Tax" means any Tax other than a Tax that would not be imposed in respect of a payment under this Agreement but for a present or former
connection between the jurisdiction of the government or taxation authority imposing such Tax and the recipient of such payment or a person related to such recipient (including, without limitation, a
connection arising from such recipient or related person being or having been a citizen or resident of such jurisdiction, or being or having been organised, present or engaged in a trade or business
in such jurisdiction, or having or having had a permanent establishment or fixed place of business in such jurisdiction, but excluding a connection arising solely from such recipient or related person
having executed, delivered, performed its obligations or received a payment under, or enforced, this Agreement or a Credit Support Document).

authority) and "lawful" and "unlawful" will be construed accordingly. 



"Local Business Day" means, subject to the Schedule, a day on which commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign exchange and
foreign currency deposits) (a) in relation to any obligation under Section 2(a)(i), in the place(s) specified in the relevant Confirmation or, if not so specified, as otherwise agreed by

"Loss" means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency
Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this Agreement or
that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as
the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining
or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been
made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)(1) or
(3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party's legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss
as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not) determine its Loss by
reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets. 


"Market Quotation" means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of
quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive
number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference
Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the
underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid 


16





 


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 amount. 



"Non-defaulting Party" has the meaning specified in Section 6(a). 


"Office" means a branch or office of a party, which may be such party's head or home office. 


"Potential Event of Default" means any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default. 


"Reference Market-makers" means four leading dealers in the relevant market selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith
(a) from among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit
and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city. 


"Relevant Jurisdiction" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in which the party is incorporated, 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. 


"Set-off" means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to
which the payer of an amount under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed on,
such payer. 


"Settlement Amount" means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum of:— 



    (a) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for
which a Market Quotation is determined; and 


    (b) such
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 


17






 


Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a commercially reasonable result. 


"Specified Entity" has the meaning specified in the Schedule. 


"Specified Indebtedness" means, subject to the Schedule, any obligation (whether present or future, contingent or otherwise, as principal or surety or
otherwise) in respect of borrowed money. 


"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) which is a rate swap transaction, basis swap, forward rate transaction, commodity swap, commodity
option, equity or equity index swap, equity or equity index option, bond option, interest rate option, foreign exchange transaction, cap transaction, floor transaction, collar transaction, currency
swap transaction, cross-currency rate swap transaction, currency option or any other similar transaction (including any option with respect to any of these transactions), (b) any combination of
these transactions and (c) any other transaction identified as a Specified Transaction in this Agreement or the relevant confirmation. 


"Stamp Tax" means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax. 


"Tax" means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto)
that is imposed by any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this Agreement other than a stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax. 



"Tax Event" has the meaning specified in Section 5(b). 


"Tax Event Upon Merger" has the meaning specified in Section 5(b). 


"Terminated Transactions" means with respect to any Early Termination Date (a) if resulting from a Termination Event, all Affected Transactions
and (b) if resulting from an Event of Default, all Transactions (in either case) in effect immediately before the effectiveness of the notice designating that Early Termination Date (or, if
"Automatic Early Termination" applies, immediately before that Early Termination Date). 



"Termination Currency" has the meaning specified in the Schedule. 


"Termination Currency Equivalent" means, in respect of any amount denominated in the Termination Currency, such Termination Currency amount and, in
respect of any amount denominated in a currency other than the Termination Currency (the "Other Currency"), the amount in the Termination Currency determined by the party making the relevant
determination as being required to purchase such amount of such Other Currency as at the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if the relevant Market Quotation or Loss (as the case may be), is
determined as of a later date, that later date, with the Termination Currency at the rate equal to the spot exchange rate of the foreign exchange agent (selected as provided below) for the purchase of
such Other Currency with the Termination Currency at or about 11:00 a.m. (in the city in which such foreign exchange agent is located) on such date as would be customary for the determination
of such a rate for the purchase of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date or that later date. The foreign exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a
determination under Section 6(e), be selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties. 


"Termination Event" means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an
Additional Termination Event. 


18





 

"Termination Rate" means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as
certified by such party) if it were to fund or of funding such amounts. 


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