(i) in the same currency; and 

(ii) inrespect 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 beautomatically 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 partyby 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 amountsare 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 withthe starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date).

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

(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 relevantTransaction, 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 otherparty 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.

If the Affected Party is notable 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).

(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 thedate so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing. 

(ii) Upon the occurrence oreffective 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 thisAgreement.

(1) ***One Affected Party****.*If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance withSection 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 Partyand 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 payableequal 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 

 
  10  ISDA®1992

(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer thanall 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 withthe 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 theabsolute value of that amount to Y. 

(iii) ***Adjustment for Bankruptcy****.*In circumstances where an Early Termination Dateoccurs 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 ordeliveries 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 areasonable pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty.

8.**Contractual Currency**
(a) ***Payment in theContractual Currency****.*Each payment under this Agreement will be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment (the “Contractual Currency”).

If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable inrespect of this Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of such excess.

The term “rate of exchange” includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs ofexchange 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 applynotwithstanding 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.
