Indebtedness, by reason of force majeure, act of state, illegality or impossibility and such default was cured within three (3) Local Business Days of the termination of such force majeure, act of state, illegality or impossibility;

E) SET-OFF 
 Section 6(f) of the
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: 
 “(f) Upon the designation of any Early Termination Date, the party
that is not the Defaulting Party or Affected Party (“X”) may, without prior notice to the Defaulting or Affected Party (“Y”), set off any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or
unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Y to X (the “X Set Off Amount”) against any sum or obligation (whether or not arising under this
Agreement, whether matured or unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by X to Y (the “Y Set Off Amount”). X will give notice to the other
party of any set off effected under this Section 6(f). 
 For this purpose, either the X Set Off Amount or the Y Set Off Amount (or the
relevant portion of such set off amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in which the other set off amount is denominated at the rate of exchange at which X would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the
relevant amount of such currency. 
 If a sum or obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in
respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained. 
 Nothing in this
Section 6(f) will be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Section 6(f) will be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other rights to which any party is at any
time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).” 
 F) General Conditions to Payment. 

Without limiting the rights of a Non-defaulting Party under Section 6, if an Event of Default with respect to a party has occurred and is continuing
and consequently the Non-defaulting Party does not make a scheduled payment or delivery by reason of the condition specified in Section 2(a)(iii)(1), the Non-defaulting Party shall have the right to suspend performance (including payments and
deliveries) under any Transaction; provided that the Non-defaulting Party shall provide written notice to the Defaulting Party within five (5) Local Business Day of its exercising its right to suspend performance under Section 2(a)(iii);
and provided that in no event shall any such suspension continue for longer than ninety (90) Local Business Days with respect to such Transaction unless an Early Termination Date shall have been declared and notice provided to the Defaulting
Party thereof.

Section 5(b)(i) of the Agreement, “any applicable law” shall include the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010, any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar law or regulation, without
regard to Section 739 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 or any similar legal certainty provision in any legislation enacted, or rule or regulation promulgated, on or after the date hereof, and the
consequences specified in the Agreement, including without limitation, the consequences specified in Section 6 of the Agreement, shall apply to any Illegality arising from any such act, rule or regulation. 

H) Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010: In connection with Section 739 of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and
Consumer Protection Act of 2010 or any similar legal certainty provision in any legislation enacted, or rule or regulation promulgated, on or after the Trade Date, the parties hereby specifically reserve the right to terminate, renegotiate, modify,
amend or supplement the Transaction to the extent that the enactment of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Transparency and Accountability Act of 2010 or any similar legislation, rule or regulation (the “Applicable Act”), or any requirement
under the Applicable Act or an amendment made by the Applicable Act, constitutes a Termination Event or other similar event under the Transaction that would give rise to such a right to terminate, renegotiate, modify, amend or supplement the
Transaction in accordance with its terms. 
 I) No Waiver of Rights. 

(i) Without limiting Section 9(d) or (f) of the Agreement, the parties hereby agree that no payment or delivery by a party made
pursuant this Confirmation shall be presumed to preclude such party’s right to challenge the determination of the amount of such payment or delivery obligation at a later date or be deemed to be a waiver of any Event of Default or Termination
Event that exists as of the date of any such payment or delivery and no failure of a party to invoke any dispute resolution procedures that may otherwise be available to such party in connection with any such payment or delivery shall be deemed to
constitute a waiver of such party’s right to assert that the demand for such payment or delivery constitutes a breach of this Agreement or to constitute a waiver of such party’s right to bring a suit or proceeding in respect thereof.”

 (ii) Section 9(f) of this Agreement shall be amended by the addition of the following at the end of the provision:

 “(1) Failure by a party to expressly reserve any right, power or privilege it has under this Agreement, and/or
(2) continued performance by a party of its obligations or enjoyment of any rights under this Agreement shall not in any way undermine or prejudice the effectiveness of this Section.”
