Silicon shall have the right to  withhold, from the Loans otherwise available to Borrower under this  Agreement, a reserve (which shall be in addition to all other reserves) in an  amount equal to 10% of the total FX Forward Contracts from time to time outstanding.

Borrower shall  execute all standard form applications and agreements of Silicon in  connection with the FX Forward Contracts, and without limiting any of the  terms of such applications and agreements, Borrower shall pay all standard  fees and charges of Silicon in connection with the FX Forward Contracts.” |
