 MASTER AGREEMENT 
 dated as of August 23, 2006 
  

					
	BARCLAYS BANK PLC	 	and	 	 CARMEL MOUNTAIN FUNDING
 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 it is 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 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)). 
  

 3 








 (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. 
 (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, 

  

 4 








 
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; 
 (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

it or act on its behalf); 
 (vi) Cross Default. If “Cross Default” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party,

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

 (vii) Bankruptcy. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any
applicable Specified Entity of such party:–

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

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 
 (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, surviving 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 is 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:— 
  

 6 








 (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 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); of 
 (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. 
  

 7 








 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). 
 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. 
  

 8 








 (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 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 

  

 9 








 
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 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. 
  

 10 








 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 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. 
  

 11 








 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. 
 (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

details at which notices or other communications are to be given to all 
 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.

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.

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

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 

  

 15 








 
been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid 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.

 “Office” means a
branch or office of a party, which may be such party’s head or home office.

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.

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

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. 
 “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

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.

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 (and the Collateral Agent, if Party B is the party that
has failed to make the payment under this Agreement); provided, however, that if the due date for such payment is a Payment Date, the Final Maturity for any Extended Note, Term Note or Subordinated Note or any other day that interest
is due and payable on any Extended Note, Term Note or Subordinated Note, failure by Party A to make, on the date when due, any payment under this Agreement shall be an Event of Default, without giving effect to any grace period unless Party A used

outstanding by each applicable rating agency will not be withdrawn or reduced below the applicable rating of each such Series outstanding immediately prior to such downgrade, as applicable; provided, however, that the preceding provisions may
be modified, without the consent of the holders of the Notes, upon receipt by Party B and the Indenture Trustee of Rating Agency Confirmation; provided, further, that Party B shall be entitled to replace Party A pursuant to this paragraph
(o), after such 30 Business Day period has expired, so long as Party A shall have not already effected one of the options described in clauses (i) through (iv) above. Any costs associated with obtaining a replacement swap
agreement or establishing any other arrangement such that Party B shall receive written confirmation that the rating of each Series outstanding by each applicable rating agency will not be withdrawn or reduced below the applicable rating of each
such Series outstanding immediately prior to such downgrade will be borne by Party A. No failure on the part of Party A to effect any of the alternatives specified above within the said 30 Business Day period shall constitute an Event of Default or
Termination Date with respect to Party A, but after such 30 Business Day period, if so designated by Party B in accordance with Part 5(u), shall constitute a Termination Event with Party A as the sole Affected Party. 
  

	(p)	Additional Swap Counterparties. To the extent that Party B enters into Interest Rate Swap agreements with other additional swap counterparties, such swap counterparties will
be required to have the Requisite Ratings at the time of execution of such Interest Rate Swaps.

generally, and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law. 

  

	 	(ii)	The Indenture and the other Program Documents to which Party B is a party are in full force and effect on the date hereof and there have been no amendments or waivers or
modifications of any of the terms thereof since the original execution and delivery of the Indenture and the other Program Documents to which Party B is a party. 

  

	 	(iii)	To the best of its knowledge, no event of default (or event which would, with the passage of time or the giving of notice, constitute an event of default) has occurred and is
continuing under any of the Program Documents to which Party B is a party. 

  

 31
