Page 2
















 




	
Reference Obligation:

	
Each obligation listed on Annex I as revised from time to time pursuant to this Confirmation having a Reference Amount equal to the "Reference Amount" indicated on Annex I for such obligation (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, having an Outstanding Principal Amount equal to the "Outstanding Principal Amount" indicated on Annex I for such Committed Obligation), in each case, subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the terms of this Confirmation.  Each Reference Obligation shall be the subject of a Transaction hereunder.


	 	 
	  	
Counterparty may, by notice to Citibank on any Business Day on or after the Trade Date (each, an "Obligation Trade Date"), designate that any obligation (each, a "Reference Obligation") shall become the subject of a Transaction hereunder.  Any such notice shall specify the proposed Reference Obligation, Reference Entity, Reference Amount and Initial Price in relation to such Transaction.


 


Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such designation by Counterparty will be effective unless:


 


(a)  Citibank consents on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date to the relevant Reference Obligation becoming the subject of a Transaction hereunder, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, with effect as set forth in the second and third succeeding paragraphs;


 


(b)  on the Obligation Trade Date (i) the relevant Reference Obligation satisfies the Obligation Criteria set forth in Annex II and (ii) the Portfolio Criteria set forth in Annex II are satisfied (or, if any Portfolio Criterion is not satisfied immediately prior to such designation, then the extent of compliance with such Portfolio Criterion is maintained or improved); and


 


(c)  if the relevant Reference Obligation would be a Specified Reference Obligation, Counterparty gives notice of such fact to Citibank in such notice of designation (provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such designation).













Page 3


















 


	 	
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (a), Citibank may reasonably withhold its consent to any such designation based on any legal, accounting, tax or other similar issues that are adverse to Citibank in any material respect and that would or could reasonably be expected to arise as a result of the entry into such Transaction or any purchase by the Citibank Holder of such Reference Obligation as a hedge for such Transaction.  In the event that Citibank determines not to hold, or cause to be held, all or any portion of any such Reference Obligation as a hedge for the such Transaction on the Obligation Settlement Date for such Transaction, Citibank shall no later than the Obligation Trade Date give notice thereof to Counterparty.  In addition, Citibank will promptly respond to any notice from Counterparty requesting that Citibank identify whether Citibank is holding, or causing to be held, the relevant Reference Obligation as a hedge for one or more Transactions identified in such notice from Counterparty.


 


The "Obligation Settlement Date" for a Transaction shall be the date following the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction that is customary for settlement of the related Reference Obligation substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the related Reference Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent).


 


On the Obligation Trade Date for a Transaction, the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall, for all purposes hereof other than calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the "Reference Amount" specified in such notice from Counterparty.  On the Obligation Settlement Date for a Transaction, the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall, solely for the purposes of calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the "Reference Amount" specified in such notice from Counterparty.


 


Once a Reference Obligation becomes the subject of a Transaction hereunder, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I reflecting the Reference Portfolio as of the related Obligation Trade Date.





 










Page 4


















 


	  	
If any payment of interest on a Reference Obligation that would otherwise be made during the period from and including the Obligation Trade Date to but excluding the Termination Trade Date is not made but is capitalized as additional principal (without default), then the amount of interest so capitalized as principal shall become a new Transaction hereunder (a "PIK Transaction") having the same terms and conditions as the Transaction relating to the Reference Obligation in respect of which such interest is capitalized, except that (1) the Initial Price in relation to such PIK Transaction shall be zero, (2) the Obligation Trade Date and Obligation Settlement Date for such PIK Transaction shall be the date on which such interest is capitalized and (3) the Reference Amount of such PIK Transaction will be the amount of interest so capitalized as principal. Citibank shall give notice to Counterparty after a PIK Transaction becomes outstanding as provided above, which notice shall set forth the information in the foregoing clauses (2) and (3).


	 	 
	
Reference Entity:

	
The borrower of the Reference Obligation identified as such in Annex I. In addition, "Reference Entity", unless the context otherwise requires, shall also refer to any guarantor of or other obligor on the Reference Obligation.


	 	 
	
Ramp-Up Period:

	
The period from and including the Amendment Effective Date and ending on and including the date occurring 90 days after the Amendment Effective Date.


	 	 
	
Ramp-Down Period:

	
The period from and including the date 30 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date and ending on and including the Scheduled Termination Date.


	 	 
	
Portfolio Notional Amount:

	
As of any date of determination, the sum of the Notional Amounts for all Reference Obligations as of such date.


	 	 
	
Notional Amount:

	
(a) In relation to any Transaction (other than with respect to any Terminated Obligation or Repaid Obligation), as of any date of determination, the Reference Amount of the related Reference Obligation as of such date multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation; and


 


(b) In relation to any Transaction with respect to a Terminated Obligation or Repaid Obligation, the amount of the reduction in the Reference Amount of the related Reference Obligation determined, in the case of a Terminated Obligation, pursuant to Clause 3 or, in the case of a Repaid Obligation, pursuant to Clause 5, in each case multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to the related Reference Obligation.













Page 5
















 




	
Outstanding Principal Amount:

	
In relation to any Reference Obligation as of any date of determination, the outstanding principal amount of such obligation as shown in the then current Annex I, as increased pursuant to this Clause 2 (or, in the case of any Committed Obligation, pursuant to any borrowing in respect of such Committed Obligation after the Obligation Settlement Date) and reduced pursuant to Clauses 3 and 5. Except as otherwise expressly provided below with respect to Counterparty First Floating Amounts, the principal amount of any Committed Obligation outstanding on any date shall include the aggregate stated face amount of all letters of credit, bankers' acceptances and other similar instruments issued in respect of such Committed Obligation to the extent that the holder of such Committed Obligation is obligated to extend credit in respect of any drawing or other similar payment thereunder.


	 	 
	
Commitment Amount:

	
In relation to any Reference Obligation that is a Committed Obligation (and the related Transaction) as of any date of determination, the maximum outstanding principal amount of such Reference Obligation that a registered holder thereof would on such date be obligated to fund (including all amounts previously funded and outstanding, whether or not such amounts, if repaid, may be reborrowed).


	 	 
	
Notional Funded Amount:

	
In relation to any Reference Obligation that is a Committed Obligation (and to the related Transaction) as of any date of determination, the greater of (a) zero and (b) the sum of (i) the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date multiplied by the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation minus (ii) the product of (x) the excess, if any, of the Commitment Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date over the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation as of the Obligation Trade Date multiplied by (y) 100% minus the Initial Price in relation to such Reference Obligation plus (iii) any increase in the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation during the period from but excluding the Obligation Trade Date to and including such date of determination minus (iv) any decrease in the Outstanding Principal Amount of such Reference Obligation during the period from but excluding the Obligation Trade Date to and including such date of determination.

	Floating Rate Index:	Whenever in this Confirmation reference is made to any Floating Rate Option (including any floating rate index specified in any Reference Obligation Credit Agreement) or to USD-LIBOR-BBA (each, a "Floating Rate Index"), in no event may such Floating Rate Index be less than zero.  In addition, with respect to any Counterparty First Floating Amount, if payment of interest on a Reference Obligation (or any portion thereof) is subject to the payment of a specified minimum rate regardless of the level of the relevant Floating Rate Index, then, without limiting the effect of the preceding sentence, such Floating Rate Index will be determined without regard to such specified minimum rate.
	 	 
	
Monthly Period:

	
Each period from and including the 12th day of any calendar month to but excluding the same day of the immediately succeeding calendar month.

Following the occurrence of a Credit Event (as determined by the Calculation Agent) with respect to the related Reference Entity (including any guarantor or other obligor referred to in the definition thereof), Citibank shall, at any time after the Obligation Trade Date for the Reference Obligation, be entitled to propose, by notice to Counterparty, an increased Independent Amount Percentage with respect to the related Transaction.  If Counterparty does not, by notice to Citibank within five Business Days after such notice from Citibank, agree to such increase, then Citibank may terminate the related Transaction by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given (i) on the Termination Trade Date and (ii) no fewer than 10 days prior to the proposed Termination Settlement Date. The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify the Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the Termination Trade Date and the Termination Settlement Date.

Elective Termination by Citibank due to Certain Events


 


(b)        If:


 



	


	
(i)

	
any Reference Obligation (including any Exchange Consideration) fails to satisfy the Obligation Criteria at any time,







 



	


	
(ii)

	
the Portfolio Criteria (other than clause (v) thereof) are not satisfied at any time,







 



	


	
(iii)

	
Counterparty fails to perform when due any obligation to Transfer Eligible Collateral under Clause 9(a) or







 



	


	
(iv)

	
Counterparty does not, by the deadline specified therefor in Clause 9(e), effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of Eligible Collateral contemplated by Clause 9(e),







 


then Citibank may notify Counterparty in writing of such event. In the case of the foregoing clause (i) or (ii), if such event continues for 30 days following the delivery of such notice, then Citibank will have the right but not the obligation to terminate the related Transaction.  In the case of the foregoing clause (iii) or (iv), if such event continues for two Business Days following delivery of such notice, Citibank will have the right but not the obligation to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation. Citibank may exercise this termination right with respect to each Terminated Obligation by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given, as to any Terminated Obligation, (1) on the proposed Termination Trade Date and (2) no fewer than 10 days prior to the proposed Termination Settlement Date for the related Terminated Obligation. The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.


 


Acceleration of Scheduled Termination Date by Citibank


 


(c)        Citibank will have the right, but not the obligation, to accelerate the Scheduled Termination Date to a Business Day occurring no earlier than the Citibank Call Date.  Any such acceleration shall be effected by giving notice to Counterparty on a Business Day occurring no fewer than 180 days prior to the Citibank Call Date, which notice shall specify the accelerated Scheduled Termination Date.


 


Early Termination Date under Master Agreement


 


(d)        If there is effectively designated an Early Termination Date under the Master Agreement, then (i) each Transaction will be terminated in its entirety, (ii) notwithstanding any contrary or otherwise inconsistent provision of the Master Agreement, the provisions set forth in Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement shall not apply to any Transaction (except that amounts that become due and payable on or prior to such Early Termination Date with respect to any Transaction as provided in this Confirmation will constitute Unpaid Amounts) and (iii) the Termination Trade Date for each Transaction will be the date specified by the Calculation Agent occurring on or promptly after such Early Termination Date; provided that, if such Early Termination Date is designated by reason of an Event of Default as to which Citibank is the Defaulting Party, Counterparty may specify the Termination Trade Date with respect to any Transaction as to which the Calculation Agent has not specified the Termination Trade Date within 10 days after such Early Termination Date. The Calculation Agent shall give notice (an "Accelerated Termination Notice") to each party (such termination, an "Accelerated Termination") on or prior to such Early Termination Date, which Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date. The amount, if any, payable in respect of such Early Termination Date will be determined in accordance with Clause 4(a) or 4(b) of this Confirmation (as applicable) based upon the delivery of such Accelerated Termination Notice.










Page 16


















 


Effect of Termination


 


(e)        With respect to any Transaction terminated in whole pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as of the relevant Termination Trade Date the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount, for purposes of calculating Rate Payments, shall be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero). With respect to any Transaction terminated in part pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as of the relevant Termination Trade Date the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount shall, for purposes of calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction). Following any Termination Trade Date (other than the Termination Trade Date in respect of the Termination Date), Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I.


 


4.           Final Price Determination


 


Following the termination of any Transaction in whole or in part pursuant to Clause 3 or by reason of the occurrence of the Scheduled Termination Date (other than in connection with a Repayment), the Final Price for the relevant Terminated Obligation will be determined in accordance with this Clause 4.


 


Determination by Counterparty


 


(a)        In order to determine the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation then held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related Transaction (other than pursuant to Clause 3(a)(ii), 3(b) or, with respect to any Early Termination Date designated by reason of an Event of Default, Credit Event Upon Merger or Additional Termination Event as to which Counterparty is the Defaulting Party or the sole Affected Party, 3(d)), Counterparty may arrange for the sale of such Terminated Obligation by giving notice of such sale to Citibank; provided that Counterparty shall have no right to arrange a sale of a Terminated Obligation pursuant to this Clause 4(a) if, as a result of such termination and the termination of all other Transactions as to which the Total Return Payment Date has not yet occurred, (i) the aggregate Value (as defined in the Credit Support Annex) of all Posted Credit Support (as so defined) held by Citibank as Secured Party (as so defined) plus the aggregate of all Citibank Floating Amounts payable in connection with such terminations would be less than (ii) the aggregate of all Counterparty Fifth Floating Amounts payable in connection with such terminations. Such notice must be given at least three Business Days prior to the related Termination Settlement Date in the case of any Terminated Obligation and at least 10 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination Date. Any sale (i) must be to an Approved Buyer or another buyer approved in advance by Citibank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) must be scheduled to occur no later than the date customary for settlement, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Terminated Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent), following the Termination Trade Date and prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination Date. If Counterparty so arranges any sale, the net cash proceeds received from the sale of any Terminated Obligation (exclusive of accrued interest), net of the related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b), shall be the "Final Price" for that Terminated Obligation.










Page 17


















 


Determination by Calculation Agent


 


(b)        If the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation is not determined according to Clause 4(a), the Calculation Agent shall attempt to obtain Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation with respect to the applicable Termination Trade Date from two or more Dealers. The Calculation Agent will give Counterparty notice of its intention to obtain Firm Bids pursuant to this Clause 4(b) (such notice to be given telephonically and via electronic mail) not later than three hours prior to the bid submission deadline specified below. By notice to Citibank not later than the bid submission deadline specified below, Counterparty may, but shall not be obligated to, designate an Approved Buyer to provide a Firm Bid (and the Calculation Agent will seek a Firm Bid from such designee if so designated by Counterparty on a timely basis). A "Firm Bid" shall be a good and irrevocable bid for value, to purchase all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, expressed as a percentage of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation and exclusive of accrued interest, for scheduled settlement substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation Agent, submitted as of 11 a.m. New York time or as soon as practicable thereafter. If there is more than one Terminated Obligation at any time, then the Calculation Agent shall obtain Firm Bids solely with respect to each separate Terminated Obligation (but not with respect to any group or groups of such Terminated Obligations). Citibank may, but is not obligated to, sell or cause the sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to any Dealer that provides a Firm Bid.


 


If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain from Dealers at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation with respect to the relevant Termination Trade Date, the Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain a Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation from two or more Dealers until the earlier of (i) the second Business Day (inclusive) following such Termination Trade Date and (ii) the date a Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids is obtained for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation.


 


If the Calculation Agent is able to obtain at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all or any portion of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation, the Final Price for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof shall be determined by reference to such Firm Bid or Firm Bids pursuant to the last paragraph of this Clause 4(b). If no Firm Bids are obtained on or before such second Business Day for all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, the Final Price shall be deemed to be zero with respect to each portion of such Terminated Obligation for which no Firm Bid was obtained. The Calculation Agent will conduct the bid process in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Clause 4(b) and otherwise in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner. Other than in the case of a termination pursuant to Clause 3(d), Citibank and Counterparty will make commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the assignment to Counterparty (free of payment by Counterparty) of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related Transaction for which the Final Price is deemed to be zero (including as provided below); provided that Citibank shall not be liable for any losses related to any delay in or failure of such assignment beyond its control.










Page 18


















 


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,


 



	
(i)

	
the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to disregard any Firm Bid submitted by a Dealer if, in the Calculation Agent's commercially reasonable judgment, (x) such Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation Agent, or (y) as a result of the terms of any agreement or instrument governing the related Terminated Obligation or any order of a court of competent jurisdiction relating to such Terminated Obligation, such Dealer is prohibited or restricted from obtaining any consent required for the assignment or transfer of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, to it; and







 



	
(ii)

	
if the Calculation Agent determines that the highest Firm Bid obtained in connection with any Termination Trade Date is not bona fide as a result of (x) the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5(a)(vii) with respect to the bidder, (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the bidder to settle the purchase of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally or (z) the Calculation Agent not having pre-approved trading lines with the bidder that would permit settlement of the purchase of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable,







 


that Firm Bid shall be disregarded and the next highest Firm Bid that is not disregarded shall be used to determine the Final Price. If there is no such Firm Bid, then the Calculation Agent shall designate a new Termination Trade Date; provided that the Calculation Agent shall designate a new Termination Trade Date pursuant to this paragraph only once. If the highest Firm Bid for any portion of the related Terminated Obligation determined in connection with the second Termination Trade Date is disregarded pursuant to this paragraph, the Calculation Agent shall have no obligation to obtain further bids, and the applicable "Final Price" for the portion which was so disregarded shall be deemed to be zero.


 


If Citibank transfers, or causes the transfer of, all or any portion of the Terminated Obligation to the Dealer or Dealers providing the highest Firm Bid or highest combination of Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof) or to such other party as provided above, the net cash proceeds received from the sale of such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof (which sale shall be scheduled to settle substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the related Reference Obligation as determined by the Calculation Agent), net of the related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b), shall be the "Final Price" for that Terminated Obligation (or the portion thereof that is sold).


 


If Citibank has determined not to hold, or cause to be held, all or any portion of any Terminated Obligation as a hedge for the related Transaction or otherwise determines, in its sole discretion, not to sell or cause the sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to a Dealer providing the highest Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids, the "Final Price" for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof shall be equal to the highest Firm Bid (or highest combination of Firm Bids) for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof) multiplied by the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation (or the respective portions of the Reference Amount to which such Firm Bids relate). The Calculation Agent may perform any of its duties under this Clause 4(b) through any Affiliate designated by it, but no such designation shall relieve the Calculation Agent of its duties under this Clause 4(b).










Page 19


















 


Early Termination of Facility


 


(c)        For the avoidance of doubt, if the Termination Date occurs prior to the Citibank Call Date, each Counterparty Second Floating Amount shall continue to be payable by Counterparty on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Citibank Call Date; provided that, if either party shall so specify in writing to the other party prior to any final Termination Trade Date, then on such final Termination Trade Date (i) the obligation of Counterparty to continue to pay each Counterparty Second Floating Amount on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Citibank Call Date shall terminate and be replaced by the obligation in the following clause and (ii) Counterparty shall pay to Citibank an amount equal to the present value (as calculated by the Calculation Agent with discounting on a continuous basis) of each Counterparty Second Floating Amount payable (without regard to the termination of such obligation under the foregoing clause) on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Citibank Call Date, discounted to such final Termination Trade Date at a discount rate per annum equal to the Discount Rate.  For this purpose, the "Discount Rate" means the zero coupon swap rate (as determined by the Calculation Agent) implied by the fixed rate offered to be paid by Citibank under a fixed for floating interest rate swap transaction with a remaining Term equal to the period from such final Termination Trade Date to the final Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date in exchange for the receipt of payments indexed to USD-LIBOR-BBA.


 


5.           Repayment.


 


If all or a portion of the Reference Amount of any Reference Obligation is repaid or otherwise reduced (in the case of a Committed Obligation, only if the Reference Amount thereof is permanently reduced) (including, without limitation, through any exercise of any right of set-off, reduction, or counterclaim that results in the satisfaction of the obligations of such Reference Entity to pay any principal owing in respect of such Reference Obligation) on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (the amount of such repayment or other reduction, a "Repayment"; the portion of the related Reference Obligation so repaid or otherwise reduced, a "Repaid Obligation"; and the date of such Repayment, the "Repayment Date"):


 



	
(a)

	
the Total Return Payment Date with respect to the Repaid Obligation will be the fifth Business Day next succeeding the last day of the Monthly Period in which the Repayment Date occurred;







 



	
(b)

	
as of the related Repayment Date, the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation shall be decreased by an amount equal to the principal amount of the Repaid Obligation; and







 



	
(c)

	
the related Final Price in relation to the Repaid Obligation shall be (i) in the case of a Committed Obligation, the portion of the Reference Amount that is permanently reduced on such Repayment Date and (ii) in the case of a Term Obligation, the amount of principal and premium in respect of principal paid by such Reference Entity on the Repaid Obligation to holders thereof (or the amount by which the Reference Obligation was otherwise reduced) on such Repayment Date. Following any Repayment Date, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I showing the revised Reference Amount for the related Reference Obligation.







 


6.           Adjustments.


 


(a)        If any Reference Obligation or portion thereof is irreversibly converted or exchanged into or for any securities, obligations, cash or other assets or property ("Exchange Consideration"), thereafter such Exchange Consideration will constitute such Reference Obligation or portion thereof, and, unless Citibank shall otherwise agree in writing, (i) if such Exchange Consideration fails to satisfy the Obligation Criteria, then Clause 3(b)(i) shall apply and (ii) if the Portfolio Criteria (other than clause (v) thereof) set forth in Annex II would not be satisfied after giving effect to such exchange, then Clause 3(b)(ii) shall apply.










Page 20


















 


(b)        Delay Compensation (as defined below) shall result in an adjustment (i) as contemplated by the definition of "Interest and Fee Amount" in connection with the establishment by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge in respect of a Transaction, if the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge occurs after the Obligation Settlement Date and (ii) of a Final Price with respect to a Terminated Obligation in connection with the termination by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge, if the actual settlement of the sale of the related hedge occurs after the Termination Settlement Date. "Delay Compensation" shall accrue (x) in the case of clause (i) above, from and including the Obligation Settlement Date to but excluding the actual settlement of the purchase effected to establish the related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the Spread and not the Floating Rate Option and (B) Interest and Fee Amounts will be determined without regard to payments in respect of the interest rate index, but will be determined inclusive of the applicable spread above such interest rate index, used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest payments in respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period) and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, from and including the Termination Settlement Date to but excluding the actual settlement of the sale effected to terminate the related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the Floating Rate Option and not the Spread and (B) Interest and Fee Amounts shall be reduced by interest accrued during such period in excess of the interest rate index used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest payments in respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period). In connection with any adjustment by reason of Delay Compensation, (i) any initial Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the "Obligation Settlement Date" shall be determined as if the Obligation Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge and (ii) any final Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the "Termination Settlement Date" shall be determined as if the Termination Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the termination of the related hedge.


 


(c)        If (i) Citibank elects to establish a hedge as a result of the addition or increase in the Reference Amount of any Reference Obligation that is the subject of a Transaction and (ii) the Citibank Holder is unable after using commercially reasonable efforts to effect the settlement of such hedge, then, by notice to Counterparty, Citibank may in its sole discretion, specify that such addition or increase in the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation will not be effective.


 


7.           Representations, Warranties and Agreements.


 


(a)        Each party hereby agrees as follows, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under any Transaction:


 



	
(i)

	
Non-Reliance. It is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into such Transaction and as to whether such Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into such Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of such Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into such Transaction. It has not received from the other party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of such Transaction;







 



	
(ii)

	
Evaluation and Understanding. It is capable of evaluating and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of such Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and assumes, the financial and other risks of such Transaction;















Page 21


















 



	
(iii)

	
Status of Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it in respect of such Transaction; and







 



	
(iv)

	
Reliance on its Own Advisors. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in making its decision to enter into, and thereafter to maintain, administer or terminate, such Transaction, it will not rely on any communication from the other party as, and it has not received any representation or other communication from the other party constituting, legal, accounting, business or tax advice, and it will consult its own legal, accounting, business and tax advisors concerning the consequences of such Transaction.







 


(b)        Each party acknowledges and agrees that, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under any Transaction:


 



	
(i)

	
such Transaction does not create any direct or indirect obligation of any Reference Entity or any direct or indirect participation in any Reference Obligation or any other obligation of any Reference Entity;







 



	
(ii)

	
each party and its Affiliates may deal in any Reference Obligation and may accept deposits from, make loans or otherwise extend credit to, and generally engage in any kind of commercial or investment banking or other business with any Reference Entity, any Affiliate of any Reference Entity, any other person or entity having obligations relating to any Reference Entity and may act with respect to such business in the same manner as if such Transaction did not exist and may originate, purchase, sell, hold or trade, and may exercise consensual or remedial rights in respect of, obligations, securities or other financial instruments of, issued by or linked to any Reference Entity, regardless of whether any such action might have an adverse effect on such Reference Entity, the value of the related Reference Obligation or the position of the other party to such Transaction or otherwise;







 



	
(iii)

	
except as provided in Clause 7(d)(iii), each party and its Affiliates and the Calculation Agent may, whether by virtue of the types of relationships described herein or otherwise, at the date hereof or at any time hereafter, be in possession of information regarding any Reference Entity or any Affiliate of any Reference Entity that is or may be material in the context of such Transaction and that may or may not be publicly available or known to the other party. In addition, except as provided in Clause 7(b)(vii), this Confirmation does not create any obligation on the part of such party and its Affiliates to disclose to the other party any such relationship or information (whether or not confidential);







 



	
(iv)

	
neither Citibank nor any of its Affiliates shall be under any obligation to hedge such Transaction or to own or hold any Reference Obligation as a result of such Transaction, and Citibank and its Affiliates may establish, maintain, modify, terminate or re-establish any hedge position or any methodology for hedging at any time without regard to Counterparty. Counterparty acknowledges and agrees that it is not relying on any representation, warranty or statement by Citibank or any of its Affiliates as to whether, at what times, in what manner or by what method Citibank or any of its Affiliates may engage in any hedging activities;







 



	
(v)

	
notwithstanding any other provision in this Confirmation or any other document, Citibank and Counterparty (and each employee, representative, or other agent of Citibank or Counterparty) may each disclose to any and all persons, without limitation of any kind, the U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure of the transaction and all materials of any kind (including opinions or other tax analyses) that are provided to them relating to such U.S. tax treatment and U.S. tax structure (as those terms are used in Treasury Regulations under Sections 6011, 6111 and 6112 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code")), other than any information for which nondisclosure is reasonably necessary in order to comply with applicable securities laws. To the extent not inconsistent with the previous sentence, Citibank and Counterparty will each keep confidential (except as required by law) all information unless the other party has consented in writing to the disclosure of such information;















Page 22
















 





	
(vi)

	
if Citibank chooses to hold a Reference Obligation as a result of any Transaction, Citibank shall hold such Reference Obligation directly or through an Affiliate (the "Citibank Holder"). The Citibank Holder may deal with such Reference Obligation as if the related Transaction did not exist, provided that, so long as the Citibank Holder remains the lender of record with respect to such Reference Obligation, upon any occasion permitting the Citibank Holder to exercise any right in relation to such Reference Obligation to give or withhold consent (an "Election") to an action proposed to be taken (or to be refrained from being taken), the Citibank Holder shall, insofar as permitted under (x) applicable laws, rules and regulations and (y) each provision of any agreement or instrument evidencing or governing such Reference Obligation (and, in the case of any participation interest, governing such participation interest), give its consent to the action proposed to be taken (or to be refrained from being taken), unless (A) Counterparty, by timely notice to Citibank, requests (a "Counterparty Election Request") that the Citibank Holder withhold such consent and (B) the Citibank Holder, in its sole discretion, elects to withhold such consent in accordance with the Counterparty Election Request. Notwithstanding the foregoing: (1) the Citibank Holder shall have no obligation to respond to, or consult with Counterparty in relation to, a Counterparty Election Request (failure to respond to a Counterparty Election Request being deemed a denial); (2) the Citibank Holder shall have no other duties or obligations to Counterparty of any nature with respect to any Election or any Counterparty Election Request; (3) the Citibank Holder shall not be liable to Counterparty or any of its Affiliates for the consequences of any consent given or withheld by the Citibank Holder in connection with such Reference Obligation (whether or not pursuant to a Counterparty Election Request); and (4) if the Citibank Holder elects in its sole discretion to withhold its consent in accordance with a Counterparty Election Request, the Citibank Holder may subsequently determine to give such consent at any time without notice to Counterparty; and







 



	
(vii)

	
in connection with each Reference Obligation that is held by a Citibank Holder as a result of any Transaction, the Citibank Holder will promptly (and in any event within one Business Day after receipt) deliver or cause to be delivered to Counterparty the following information and documentation, in each case, to the extent actually received by the Citibank Holder from the Reference Entity or its agents under the related Reference Obligation Credit Agreement: all notices of any borrowings, prepayments and interest rate settings, all amendments, waivers, tenders, exchanges and other modifications (whether final or proposed) in relation to the terms of the Reference Obligation; and all notices given by the Reference Entity to the lenders or their agent or by the lenders or their agent to the Reference Entity in relation to the exercise of remedies.







 


(c)        Each of the parties hereby represents that, on each date on which a Transaction is entered into hereunder:


 



	
(i)

	
it is entering into such Transaction for investment, financial intermediation, hedging or other commercial purposes; and







 



	
(ii)

	
(x) it is an "eligible contract participant" as defined in Section 1a of the U.S. Commodity Exchange Act, as amended (the "CEA"), (y) the Master Agreement and each Transaction are subject to individual negotiation by each party, and (z) neither the Master Agreement nor any Transaction will be executed or traded on a "trading facility" within the meaning of Section 1a of the CEA.

(d)        Counterparty hereby represents to Citibank that:


 



	
(i)

	
its financial condition is such that it has no need for liquidity with respect to its investment in any Transaction and no need to dispose of any portion thereof to satisfy any existing or contemplated undertaking or indebtedness. Its investments in and liabilities in respect of any Transaction, which it understands is not readily marketable, are not disproportionate to its net worth, and it is able to bear any loss in connection with any Transaction, including the loss of its entire investment in such Transaction;







 



	
(ii)

	
it understands that no obligations of Citibank to it hereunder will be entitled to the benefit of deposit insurance and that such obligations will not be guaranteed by any Affiliate of Citibank or any governmental agency;

it has delivered to Citibank on or prior to the date hereof (and it will, prior to any expiration of any such form previously so delivered, deliver to Citibank) a United States Internal Revenue Service Form W-9 (or applicable successor form) with respect to the Sole Owner (indicating that Counterparty is a disregarded entity of the Sole Owner), properly completed and signed (which representation shall also be made for purposes of Section 3(f) of the Master Agreement);







 



	
(vii)

	
it could have received all payments on the Reference Obligation without U.S. Federal or foreign witholding tax if it owned the Reference Obligation (which representation shall also be made for purposes of Section 3(f) of the Master Agreement); and

(e)        Except for disclosure authorized pursuant to Clause 7(b)(v), Counterparty agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of the related Reference Obligation Credit Agreement with respect to all information and documentation in relation to a Reference Entity or a Reference Obligation delivered to Counterparty hereunder.

(f)        Section 2(c)(ii) of the Master Agreement shall not apply to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates. Multiple Transaction Payment Netting under Section 2(c) of the Master Agreement will apply to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates.


 


(g)        Notwithstanding anything in the Master Agreement to the contrary, Citibank will not be required to pay any additional amount under Section 2(d)(i) of the Master Agreement in respect of any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax in relation to any payment under any Transaction that is determined by reference to interest or fees payable with respect to any Reference Obligation.

8.           Adjustments Relating to Certain Unpaid or Rescinded Payments.


 


(a)        If (i) Citibank makes any payment to Counterparty as provided under Clause 2 and the corresponding Interest and Fee Amount is not paid (in whole or in part) when due or (ii) any Interest and Fee Amount in respect of a Reference Obligation is required to be returned (in whole or in part) by a holder of such Reference Obligation (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder) to the applicable Reference Entity or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other applicable law, then Counterparty will pay to Citibank, upon request by Citibank, such amount (or portion thereof) so not paid or so required to be returned, paid or otherwise rescinded. If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded amount is subsequently paid, Citibank shall pay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to Counterparty within five Business Days after the date of such subsequent payment.


 


(b)        If, with respect to any Repaid Obligation, the corresponding payment of principal of the Repaid Obligation is required to be returned (in whole or in part) by a holder thereof (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder) to the applicable Reference Entity or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other applicable law, then (i) the parties hereto shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall continue as though no Repayment had occurred and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if either party has made a payment to the other party in respect of Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation related to such Repayment as provided under Clause 2, then the party that received the payment in respect of such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable, shall repay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to the other party. If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded amount is subsequently paid by the related Reference Entity or any such other person or entity, then the relevant party shall pay the amount of such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable, within five Business Days after the date of such subsequent payment.

(c)        Amounts payable pursuant to this Clause 8 shall be subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in good faith and on a commercially reasonable basis, as agreed by Citibank and Counterparty, in order to preserve for the parties the intended economic risks and benefits of the relevant Transaction.


 


(d)        The payment obligations of Citibank and Counterparty pursuant to this Clause 8 shall survive the termination of all Transactions.


 


9.           Credit Support.


 


Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Support Annex (the "Credit Support Annex") to the Schedule to the Master Agreement to the contrary, the following collateral terms shall apply to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates (capitalized terms used in this Clause 9 but not otherwise defined in this Confirmation have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Credit Support Annex):


 



	
(a)

	
With respect to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, an "Independent Amount" shall be applicable to Counterparty on each date of determination in an amount equal to the Notional Amount of such Transaction on such date of determination multiplied by the relevant Independent Amount Percentage (determined in accordance with the table set forth below).







 



	 	
Condition

	
Independent Amount Percentage


	 	
(i) Except as provided in clause (iii) below, with respect to any Transaction not relating to a Specified Reference Obligation

	
25%


	 	
(ii) Except as provided in clause (iii) below, with respect to any Transaction relating to a Specified Reference Obligation 

	Such percentage as Citibank shall specify on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction 
	 	
(iii) With respect to any Reference Obligation whose Independent Amount Percentage is agreed in writing as provided in Clause 3(a)(ii)

	
Such Independent Amount Percentage as is agreed in writing as provided in Clause 3(a)(ii)







 



	


	
Not later than (i) the Effective Date and (ii) the date of any increase in the Independent Amount Percentage applicable to any Transaction, Counterparty as Pledgor will Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party Eligible Collateral having a Value as of the date of Transfer equal to the related Independent Amount (or increase in the related Independent Amount) determined pursuant this Clause 9(a).







 



	
(b)

	
In no event shall Citibank as Secured Party be obligated to Transfer Posted Credit Support in respect of a Return Amount to Counterparty as Pledgor if the Value as of any Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by Citibank as Secured Party would be less than the Independent Amount determined pursuant to Clause 9(a).















Page 26


















 



	
(c)

	
In no event shall Counterparty as a Secured Party have any positive "Exposure" to Citibank with respect to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates.







 



	
(d)

	
Without limiting Clause 3(b)(iv), in no event shall Citibank as a Secured Party shall have any positive "Exposure" to Counterparty with respect to the Transactions to which this Confirmation relates.







 



	
(e)

	
If (i) the Net Collateral Value Percentage on any Valuation Date is less than the Termination Threshold on such Valuation Date and (ii) Citibank gives notice thereof to Counterparty on any Business Day, Counterparty will, not later than the close of business on the Business Day following the date of such notice from Citibank, effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of Eligible Collateral such that the Net Collateral Value Percentage after giving effect to such Transfer is at least equal to the Cure Threshold.  In addition, Counterparty may, on any Business Day, effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of any additional Eligible Collateral.







 



	
(f)

	
If Counterparty enters into any Transaction under the Master Agreement other than the Transactions contemplated by this Confirmation (each, a "Separate Transaction"), then the Credit Support Amount with respect to Counterparty as Pledgor shall never be less than the "Credit Support Amount" with respect to Counterparty as Pledgor calculated (i) solely with reference to all Separate Transactions and (ii) without regard to the Independent Amount applicable to Counterparty as Pledgor under this Confirmation.







 



	
(g)

	
Each Business Day shall be a Valuation Date.

except as provided in the following clause (b), if the related Final Price is not determined in accordance with Clause 4(a), the "Termination Trade Date" will be the bid submission deadline for the Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation that are to be the basis for determining the Final Price of such Terminated Obligation as designated by the Calculation Agent in order to cause the related Total Return Payment Date to occur as promptly as practicable (in the discretion of the Calculation Agent) after the date originally designated as the "Termination Trade Date" in the related Accelerated Termination Notice; and







 



	
(b)

	
in respect of the Scheduled Termination Date, if the related Final Price is not determined in accordance with Clause 4(a), the "Termination Trade Date" will be the date so designated by the Calculation Agent in its discretion, occurring during the 60 calendar days preceding the Scheduled Termination Date (or earlier in the case of any Terminated Obligation determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion to be a distressed loan or other obligation) in a manner reasonably likely to cause the final Total Return Payment Date to occur on the Scheduled Termination Date.
