    MASTER
      AGREEMENT

    


    dated
      as
      of September 28, 2007

    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

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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.

     

    (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)).

     

    
      
         

      

      
        3

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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.

      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

    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

      directs:

     

    (i) any
      forms, documents or certificates relating to taxation specified in the Schedule
      or any Confirmation;

     

    (ii) any
      other

      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.

      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

      to
      be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such failure.

     

    (e) Payment
      of Stamp Tax.
      Subject

      of its execution or performance of this Agreement by a jurisdiction in which
      it
      is incorporated, 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.

      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

      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;

      by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or

      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

      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 if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace
      period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in
      part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any person or entity
      appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf);

     

    (vi) Cross
      Default.
      If
“Cross Default” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the
      occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar
      condition or event (however described) in respect of such party, any Credit
      Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party
      under one or more agreements 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 applicable notice
      requirement or grace period);

     

    
      
         

      

      
        7

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

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

     

    (1) is
      dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger);
      (2)
      becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing
      its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general
      assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its 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
      for
      relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is
      not
      dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of
      the
      institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its
      winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a
      consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the
      appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver,
      trustee, 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

     

    
      
         

      

      
        8

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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:

     

    (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);

     

    
      
         

      

      
        9

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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);
      or

     

    (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.

     

    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.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        10

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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.

     

    (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.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        11

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        12

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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 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

     

    
      
         

      

      
        13

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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.

     

    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.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        14

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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.

     

    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.

     

    
      
         

      

      
        15

        
          

        

      

      
         

      

    

     

    (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. Notices

     

    (a) Effectiveness.

      any
      manner set forth below (except that a notice or other communication under
      Section 5 or 6 may not be given by facsimile transmission or electronic
      messaging system) to the address or number or in accordance with the electronic
      messaging system details provided (see the Schedule) and will be deemed

      delivered;

     

    (ii) if
      sent
      by telex, on the date the recipient’s answerback is received;

     

    (iii) if
      sent
      by facsimile transmission, on the date that transmission is received by a
      responsible employee of the recipient in legible form (it being agreed that
      the
      burden of proving receipt will be on the sender and will not be met by a
      transmission report generated by the sender’s facsimile machine);

     

    (iv) if
      sent
      by certified or registered mail (airmail, if overseas) or the equivalent (return
      receipt requested), on the date that mail is delivered or its delivery is
      attempted; or

     

    (v) if
      sent
      by electronic messaging system, on the date that electronic message is
      received,

     

    unless
      the date of that delivery (or attempted delivery) or that receipt, as
      applicable, is not a Local Business Day or that communication is delivered
      (or
      attempted) or received, as applicable, after the close of business on a Local
      Business Day, in which case that communication shall be deemed given and
      effective on the first following day that is a Local Business Day.

     

    (b) Change
      of Addresses.
      Either
      party may by notice to the other change the address, telex or facsimile number
      or electronic messaging system details at which notices or other communications
      are to be given to it.

    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.

     

    Nothing
      in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in any other
      jurisdiction (outside, if this Agreement is expressed to be governed by English
      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.

     

    (c) Service
      of Process.
      Each
      party irrevocably appoints the Process Agent (if any) specified opposite its
      name in the Schedule to receive, for it and on its behalf, service of process
      in
      any Proceedings. If for any 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 be entitled in any Proceedings in the courts of any jurisdiction
      and
      irrevocably agrees, to the extent permitted by applicable law, that it will
      not
      claim any such immunity in any Proceedings.

      means,
      with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the
      case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount
      that

      gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this
      Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions,
      as
      the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the
      election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a
      result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge
      or
      related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes
      losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required
      to
      have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
      on
      or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to

      Loss
      does not include a party’s legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to
      under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early
      Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest
      date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not)
      determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from
      one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets.

    “Market
      Quotation” means,
      with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the
      determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference
      Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be
      paid
      to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed
      as a
      positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking
      into account any existing Credit 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 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

      result.

      Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which remain
      unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in respect of each Terminated
      Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would
      have
      been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such
      party
      on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which has not been so settled
      as
      at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market value of
      that

      scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to the 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
