 MASTER AGREEMENT 
 dated as of March 28, 2006 
  

					
	SWISS RE FINANCIAL PRODUCTS CORPORATION	  	and	  	ACCREDITED MORTGAGE LOAN TRUST 2006-1
	(“Party A”)	  		  	(“Party B”)

 have entered and/or anticipate entering into one of 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. 
 (iv)

 (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: — 
  

 - 2 - 

 (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. 
  

 - 3 - 

	 	(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: —

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 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); 
  

 - 8 - 

 (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 
  

 - 9 - 

 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); 
 (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

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 
 (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 
  

 - 10 - 

 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); 
 (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. 
  

 - 11 - 

	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 
  

 - 12 - 

 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. 
  

 - 13 - 

	(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 
  

 - 15 - 

 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. 
  

 - 16 - 

	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. 
  

 - 17 - 

	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.

  

 - 18 - 

	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. 
  

 - 19 -

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:—

 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

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 
  

 - 24 - 

 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

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.

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

 value of that which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the originally 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 parties.

 Transfer.
Section 7 is hereby amended by:

unreasonably withheld or delayed” and adding in the third line thereof after the clause “that: -” the words “provided that the Rating Agency Condition is satisfied”;

	                        - 9 -	  	ISDA	® 1992

 either (A) such transferee must have a long-term, unsecured, unsubordinated debt obligation ratings or financial

 an Event of Default or a Termination Event does not occur as a result of such transfer;

 Except as may otherwise be stated in Section 7(c) hereof or in the documentation evidencing a transfer, a transfer of all of the
obligations of Party A made in compliance with this Section will constitute an acceptance and assumption of such obligations (and any related interests so transferred) by the transferee, a novation of the transferee in place of Party A with respect
to such obligations (and any related interests so transferred), and a release and discharge by Party B of Party A from, and an agreement by Party B not to make any claim for payment, liability, or otherwise against Party A with respect to, such

irrevocably waives any and all rights it may have to set-off, net, recoup or otherwise withhold or suspend or condition payment or performance of any obligation between it and Party B against any obligation between it and Party B under any other
agreements; provided that nothing herein shall be construed as limiting the provisions contained in Section 2(c), 9(c) or any other Section of this Agreement with respect to the netting of the parties’ respective obligations under this
Agreement or the right of Party B to exercise any set-off right, by operation of law or otherwise. Except as stated above, the provisions for Set-off set forth in Section 6(e) of the Agreement shall not apply.

 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable (in whole or in part) for any
reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants, and conditions hereof shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid or unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified
continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective benefits or expectations
of the parties to this Agreement; provided, however, that this severability provision shall not be applicable if any provision of Section 2, 5, 6, or 13 (or any definition or provision in Section 14 to the extent it relates to, or is used
in or in connection with any such Section) shall be so held to be invalid or unenforceable. 
 Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each party hereby
irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to trial by jury in respect of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement.

action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf).”

 No Reliance. In connection with the negotiation of, the entering into, and the confirming of the execution of,
this Agreement and each Transaction: (i) the other party is not acting as a fiduciary or financial or investment advisor for it; (ii) it is not relying upon any representations (whether written or oral) of the other party other than the
representations expressly set forth in this Agreement; and (iii) it has consulted with its own legal, regulatory, tax, business, investment, financial, and accounting advisors to the extent it has deemed necessary, and it has made its own
investment, hedging, and trading decisions based upon its own judgment and upon any advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary and not upon any view expressed by the other party. 
 Consent to Assignment. Notwithstanding Section 7 of this Agreement, Party A hereby acknowledges and consents to the assignment of this Agreement, solely for
security purposes for the benefit of the Noteholders, by Party B to Deutsche Bank National Trust Company, as indenture trustee (the “Indenture Trustee”) under the Indenture. The Indenture Trustee shall not be deemed to be a party to this
Agreement; provided, however, that the Indenture Trustee, acting on behalf of the Noteholders, shall have the right to enforce this Agreement, including the terms of Part 5(n), against Party A. Party A shall be entitled to rely on any
notice or communication from the Indenture Trustee to that effect; provided, further, that any such notice shall be in writing and delivered to Party A in accordance with Section 12 hereof. Party A shall be entitled to assume the
authenticity of any such notice and shall have no obligation to verify the accuracy of any facts asserted therein and shall be entitled to reasonably rely on the apparent authority of the sender thereof. Party B hereby indemnifies Party A against
any losses, costs, claims or liabilities arising from Party A’s reliance on any such notice and Party A shall be released from any further obligations to Party B with respect to the rights transferred to the Indenture Trustee (for so long as
Party A has fulfilled its obligations hereunder to the Indenture Trustee). Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained herein, the parties acknowledge that the indemnity contained in this Part 5(j) shall be considered an accrued and
unpaid expense of the Trust (reimbursable to Party A) (which expense shall be payable with Interest Proceeds under Section 5.07(i) of the Indenture and not as a payment due to a Swap Provider under the Swap Agreement) and is only due to the
extent funds are available for the payment thereof in accordance with the priority of payments described in Article VIII of the Indenture. 
 Regarding
Party A. Party B acknowledges and agrees that Party A has had and will have no involvement in and, accordingly, accepts no responsibility for: (i) the establishment, structure, or choice of assets of Party B; (ii) the selection of any
person performing services for or acting on behalf of Party B; (iii) the selection of Party A as the counterparty; (iv) the terms of the Notes and the Certificates; (v) the preparation of or passing on the disclosure and other
information contained in any prospectus or prospectus supplement for the Notes and the Certificates, the Sale and Servicing Agreement, or any other agreements or documents used by Party B or any other party in connection with the marketing and sale
of the Notes and the Certificates; (vi) the ongoing operations and administration of Party B, including the furnishing of any information to Party B which is not specifically required under this Agreement; or (vii) any other aspect of
Party B’s existence except for those matters specifically identified in this Agreement. 
 No Recourse. The Notes represent the non-recourse
obligations of Party B only and the Certificates represent an equity interest in Party B only and each of the foregoing does not represent an interest in or obligation of Party A, and no recourse may be had by the holders of the Notes and the
Certificates against Party A or its assets with respect to the Notes and the Certificates and/or this Agreement. 
  

				
	                        - 12 -	  	ISDA	® 1992

 Indemnifiable Tax. Party A agrees that Party B will not be required to pay any additional amounts pursuant to
Section 2(d)(i)(4) of the Agreement in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax. If Party A is required to pay additional amounts in respect of a withholding tax pursuant to Section 2(d)(i)(4) of this Agreement, Party A may transfer this Agreement,
subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, as provided in Section 6(b)(ii) of this Agreement and such transfer shall not require the consent of Party B to the extent it is in conformance with the provisions of Section 7(c), as
amended herein. 
 Additional Termination Events. 
 It shall
be an Additional Termination Event, with Party B as the sole Affected Party, if all Indenture Collateral is liquidated and the proceeds thereof distributed following an Event of Default that has resulted in the principal of all the Notes being
declared to be immediately due and payable. 
 It shall also be an Additional Termination Event if (i) the Indenture Trustee receives direction (a
“Redemption Notice”) for an optional redemption, in whole, of the Notes under Article 10 of the Indenture (a “Redemption Termination”) and (ii) there remains no more than 5 Business Days prior to the proposed Redemption
Date. In the case of a Redemption Termination, both Party A and Party B shall have the right to cause a termination of this Agreement and, for purposes of Section 6(e)(ii) of this Agreement, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party. Following
notification from the Indenture Trustee that it has received a Redemption Notice, Party A shall provide the Indenture Trustee from time to time, upon request, with good faith estimates of the amount that would be payable under Section 6(e)(ii)
in the event of such Redemption Termination. Any termination payment payable in respect of such Additional Termination Event shall be paid on the relevant Redemption Date. 
 (I) It shall also be an Additional Termination Event, with Party A the sole Affected Party (except as expressly provided herein) if Party A, a replacement counterparty, or a person or an entity that guarantees the
obligations of Party A or a replacement counterparty, as the case may be, has a rating that does not satisfy the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating (but is at least “BBB-” or “A-3” (if applicable) by S&P or S&P or
Moody’s withdraws its ratings and none of the following events has occurred: 
 within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the Required Hedge Counterparty
Rating, Party A or such replacement counterparty, as the case may be, transfers this Agreement, in whole, but not in part, to a counterparty that satisfies the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency
Condition; 
 within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, Party A or such replacement counterparty, as the case may be,
collateralizes its Exposure to Party B pursuant to an ISDA Credit Support Annex, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition, as applicable; provided that such ISDA Credit Support Annex shall be made a Credit Support Document for Party A
pursuant to an amendment of this Agreement in a form acceptable to the Indenture Trustee; 
 within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the Required Hedge
Counterparty Rating, the obligations of Party A or such replacement counterparty, as the case may be, under this Agreement are guaranteed by a person or entity that satisfies the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, subject to satisfaction of the
Rating Agency Condition; or 
 within 30 days of such failure to satisfy the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, Party A or such replacement counterparty, as
the case may be, takes such other steps, if any, to enable the Issuer to satisfy the Rating Agency Condition. 
  

				
	                        - 13 -	  	ISDA	® 1992

 (II) It shall also be an Additional Termination Event, with Party A as the sole Affected Party (except as
expressly provided herein) if Party A, a replacement counterparty, or a person or an entity that guarantees the obligations of Party A or a replacement counterparty, as the case may be, has a rating of less than “BBB-” or “A-3”
(if applicable) by S&P and within 7 days thereafter, Party A or such replacement counterparty, as the case may be, while collateralizing its Exposure to Party B, fails to transfers this Agreement, in whole, but not in part, to a counterparty
that satisfies the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. 
 Upon downgrade of Party A
below the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating or below “BBB-” or “A-3”, or if S&P or Moody’s withdraws its ratings for any reason, Party A will promptly give notice of the circumstances to Party B and to the rating
agencies that at the time are providing ratings for the Notes and Certificates. 
 Party B shall be entitled to (A)(1) in case of an
Additional Termination Event described in Part 5(n)(iii)(I), designate a date that is not earlier than the expiration of the 30 day period referred to in Part 5(n)(iii)(I) as an Early Termination Date in respect of all transactions under this
Agreement by giving notice to Party A at least 10 days prior to the date so designated (which notice may be given prior to the expiration of such 30 day period) and (2) in case of an Additional Termination Event described in this Part
5(n)(iii)(II), immediately designate an Early Termination Date, in respect of all transactions under this Agreement by giving notice to Party A and (B) no later than the respective dates specified in clause (A)(1) and (A)(2), transfer the
rights and obligations of Party A hereunder to a counterparty that satisfies the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating, subject to satisfaction of the Rating Agency Condition. 
 In connection with a transfer of this Agreement as described in this Part 5(n)(iii), Party A shall, at its sole cost and expense, use commercially
reasonable efforts to seek a replacement counterparty and Party A shall reimburse Party B for (I) commercially reasonable fees and expenses incurred in connection with any of the alternative actions contemplated in paragraphs (A), (B),
(C) and (D) of Part 5(n)(iii)(I) above (whether or not they are completed within the 30 day period) and, if applicable, with the negotiation and documentation of a replacement hedge agreement and (II) the fees and expenses, if any,
incurred in connection with any of the alternative actions contemplated in paragraphs (A), (B), (C) and (D) of Part 5(n)(iii)(I) above (whether or not they are completed within the 30 day period) and, if applicable, with the negotiation
and documentation of a replacement hedge agreement that is not covered by subclause (I) for so long as Party A shall have consented to such fees and expenses prior to their incurrence by Party B, with Party’s A consent not to be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. 
 As used herein, “Required Hedge Counterparty Rating” means, with respect to a counterparty or
entity guaranteeing the obligations of such 
  

				
	                        - 14 -	  	ISDA	® 1992

 counterparty, (x) either (i) if such counterparty or entity has only a long-term rating by
Moody’s, a long-term senior, unsecured debt obligation rating, financial program rating or other similar rating (as the case may be, the “Long-Term rating”) of at least “Aa3” by Moody’s and if rated “Aa3” by
Moody’s is not on negative credit watch by Moody’s or (ii) if such counterparty or entity has a Long-Term Rating and a short-term rating by Moody’s, a Long-Term Rating of at least “A1” by Moody’s and a short-term
rating of “P-1” by Moody’s and, in each case, such rating is not on negative credit watch by Moody’s and (y) (i) a short-term rating of at least “A-1” by S&P or (ii) if such counterparty or entity
does not have a short-term rating by S&P, a Long-Term Rating of at least “A+” by S&P. 
 For the purposes of determining the
Settlement Amount with respect to the designation of an Early Termination Date arising from the Additional Termination Event specified in Party 5(n)(iii), both Party A and Party B shall be Affected Parties. If the Settlement Amount calculated
pursuant to this subclause (iii) is an amount owing by Party B to Party A, then such payment shall be a Swap Termination Payment payable by Party B to Party A in accordance with the priority of payments described in the Indenture;
provided, however, that (a) if Party A does not after the exercise of commercially reasonable efforts cause any of the conditions specified in Part 5(n)(iii)(I)(A) to (D) to be satisfied, Party B shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to enter into a replacement Transaction(s) with a counterparty acceptable to the Rating Agencies, in respect of the Affected Transaction(s) relating to the Additional Termination Event; and (b) where multiple quotations are
available such replacement Transaction(s) shall be entered into based on the quoted price(s) that would result in the largest payment made to Party B by the replacement counterparty (it being understood that Party A may be permitted to actively
solicit and obtain such quotations on behalf of Party B); and (c) to the extent that payments (“Replacement Payments”) are received from a replacement counterparty by Party B as a result of entering into such replacement

 As used herein,
“Exposure” means, as of any date of determination, the amount, if any, that would be payable to Party B by Party A under this Agreement if an Early Termination Date were to occur as of such date of determination as a result of a

Quotation.

 Following a Swap Disclosure Event, Party A shall take one of the following actions at its own expense: either (I) (a) if the Significance
Percentage is 10% or more, but less than 20%, Party A shall provide the information set forth in Item 1115(b)(1) of Regulation AB for Party A (or for the group of affiliated entities, if applicable) to the Sponsor or (b) if the

Information”) to the Sponsor or (II) Party A shall assign all of its rights and obligations under the Transactions to a replacement counterparty with the Required Hedge Counterparty Rating or to a counterparty whose guarantor satisfies the
Required Hedge Counterparty Rating (or which satisfies the Rating Agency Condition), pursuant to documentation substantially similar to the documentation then in place and subject to prior notification to the Rating Agencies, which counterparty is
willing to provide the Additional Swap Disclosure Information (with respect to itself or for its group of affiliated entities, if applicable) to the Sponsor.

Indenture. If in relation to any Transaction there is any inconsistency between the 2000 Definitions, this Agreement, the Indenture, any Confirmation and any other definitions published by ISDA that are incorporated into any Confirmation, the
following will prevail for purposes of such Transaction in the order of precedence indicated: (i) such Confirmation (without reference to any definitions or provisions incorporated therein); (ii) the Indenture; (iii) this Agreement;

50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or (B) a merger or consolidation effected to implement a recapitalization of the
Company (or similar transaction) in which no “person” (as hereinabove defined) acquires more than 25% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding securities; or

Company’s outstanding common stock (on a fully diluted basis) plus the aggregate market value of the Company’s other outstanding equity securities. The aggregate market value of the Company’s equity securities shall be determined by
multiplying the number of shares of the Company’s common stock (on a fully diluted basis) outstanding on the date of the execution and delivery of a definitive agreement with respect to the transaction or series of related transactions (the
“Transaction Date”) by the average closing price of such security for the ten (10) trading days immediately preceding the Transaction Date, or if not publicly traded, by such other method as the Board of Directors of the

under any of the Company’s life insurance, medical, health and accident, or disability plans in which Employee was participating at the time of this Agreement, or (y) the taking of any action by the Company which would directly or
indirectly materially reduce any of such benefits or deprive Employee of any material fringe benefit enjoyed by Employee at the time of this Agreement, or (z) the failure by the Company to provide Employee with the number of paid vacation days
to which Employee is entitled in accordance with this Agreement; 
 (G) the failure of the Company to obtain a satisfactory agreement

 (e) “MISCONDUCT” shall mean (i) the willful and repeated failure by Employee to substantially perform his duties
with the Company (other than any such failure resulting from Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness or any such actual or anticipated failure after the issuance of a Notice of Termination by Employee for Good Reason), after a
written demand for substantial performance is delivered to Employee by the Board, which demand specifically identifies the manner in which the Board believes that Employee has not substantially performed his duties and provides fourteen
(14) days for Employee to cure, or (ii) Employee’s willfully engaging in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to the Company, monetarily or otherwise. For purposes hereof, no act, or failure to act, on
Employee’s part shall be deemed “willful” unless done, or omitted to be done, by Employee not in good faith and without reasonable belief that Employee’s action or omission was in the best interest of the Company. 
 (f) “NOTICE OF TERMINATION” shall mean a written notice which (A) if delivered by the

Employee’s counsel, to be heard before the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board that Employee was guilty of conduct set forth above and specifying the particulars thereof in reasonable detail, provided, however,
that if at such time Employee is a member of the Board of Directors, he shall abstain from voting with respect to any matter relating to termination of his employment. Upon termination for Misconduct, the Company shall pay to Employee all accrued
and unpaid compensation for the period ending on the Date of Termination, and shall not be obligated to pay any additional amounts to Employee hereunder. 
 (b) OTHER THAN MISCONDUCT OR DISABILITY. At any time other than either for Misconduct or by reason of Employee’s Disability.
Employee’s employment is at will and the Company may terminate this Agreement and Employee’s employment for any reason deemed sufficient by the Company upon delivery of a Notice of Termination (or as of such date as is specified
therein). However, in the event that Employee’s employment is terminated: 
 (i) PRIOR TO
CHANGE OF CONTROL. Prior to any Change of Control for any reason other than his Misconduct or Disability, then in addition to all accrued and unpaid wages due to Employee for periods ended on or prior
to the effective date of the termination: 
  

 -6-

Employee’s Base Compensation and Target Bonus at the rate in effect as of the Date of Termination (any such amount to be payable in equal monthly installments at the time and in the amounts due under the Company’s regular payroll
practices, as if Employee had remained employed during the period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination); and 
 (B) the Company shall pay, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination, the premiums for continuation of Employee healthcare benefits pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of

 (ii) FOLLOWING CHANGE OF CONTROL. Within twenty-four (24) months following any Change of Control for any reason other than his Misconduct or
Disability, then in addition to all accrued and unpaid wages due to Employee for periods ended on or prior to the effective date of the termination: 
 (A) pay to Employee an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of Employee’s Base Compensation and Target Bonus at the rate in effect as of the Date of Termination (any such amount to be payable in
equal periodic installments at the time and in the amounts due under the Company’s regular payroll practices, as if Employee had remained employed during the period of twenty-four (24) months following the Date of Termination); and

 (B) pay the COBRA premiums for continuation of Employee healthcare benefits for so long as Employee is otherwise eligible,
provided Employee makes a timely election for such COBRA coverage, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination. Employee’s right to terminate employment pursuant to this Section 5.2(b) shall not be affected
by Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. In addition, Employee’s continued employment following any event, act or omission, regardless of the length of such continued employment, shall not constitute Employee’s
consent to, or a waiver of Employee’s rights with respect to, such event, act or omission constituting Good Reason hereunder; and 
 (C) pay to Employee an amount of cash which, when reduced by the amount of federal and state income taxes applicable thereto, would leave Employee with an amount of after-tax cash equal to the excise tax (if any) the Employee may be
required to pay under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) (and any successor provision thereto) by reason of the payments described in the foregoing provisions of this
Section 5.2(b)(ii) and any acceleration in vesting of options held by Employee being treated as an “excess parachute payment” for purposes of Section 280G of the Code. 
 (c) DISABILITY. By reason of Employee’s Disability. If the Company elects to terminate Employee’s employment hereunder by
reason of Employee’s Disability, then for the period equal to the shorter of twelve (12) months following the date of the termination or the period ending on the date on which Employee becomes eligible to receive disability income payments
under any disability income plan sponsored by the Company, the Company shall (i) pay to Employee an amount equal to Employee’s Base Compensation at the rate in effect as of the Date of Termination (any such amount to be payable in equal
monthly installments at the time and in the amounts due under the Company’s regular payroll practices, as if Employee had remained employed during the period over which such amount is payable hereunder), and (ii) pay the premiums for
continuation of Employee healthcare benefits pursuant to COBRA for such period, provided Employee makes a timely election for such COBRA coverage.

 5.3 TERMINATION BY EMPLOYEE. Employee may resign from
employment and terminate this Agreement at any time. If Employee terminates this Agreement: 
 (a) DISABILITY. By reason
of Employee’s Disability, then in addition to all accrued and unpaid wages due to Employee for periods ended on or prior to the Termination Date, the Company thereafter shall (i) continue paying to Employee his Base Compensation at the
rate in effect as of the Date of Termination for a period ending on the earlier of (x) twelve (12) months following the date of the termination or (y) the period ending on the date on which Employee becomes eligible to receive
disability income payments under any disability income plan sponsored by the Company (any such amount to be payable in equal periodic installments at the time and in the amounts due under the Company’s regular payroll practices, as if Employee
had remained employed during such period), provided, however, that the Company shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to accelerate any such payment); and (ii) pay the COBRA premiums for continuation of Employee healthcare
benefits for so long as Employee is otherwise eligible, provided Employee makes a timely election for such COBRA coverage, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination. Employee’s right to terminate
employment pursuant to this Section 5.3(a) shall not be affected by Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. In addition, Employee’s continued employment following any event, act or omission, regardless of the length
of such continued employment, shall not constitute Employee’s consent to, or a waiver of Employee’s rights with respect to, such event, act or omission constituting a Good Reason circumstance hereunder. 
 (b) GOOD REASON. For Good Reason: 
 (i) NON-CHANGE OF CONTROL. Prior to any Change of Control, then in addition to all accrued and unpaid wages due to Employee for periods ended on or
prior to the Termination Date: (i) the Company shall pay to Employee an amount equal to twelve (12) months of Employee’s Base Compensation and Target Bonus at the rate in effect as of the Date of Termination (any such amount to be
payable in equal periodic installments at the time and in the amounts due under the Company’s regular payroll practices, as if Employee had remained employed during the period of twelve (12) months following the Date of Termination); and
(ii) the Company shall pay the premiums for continuation of Employee healthcare benefits pursuant to COBRA, provided Employee makes a timely election for such COBRA coverage, for a period of twelve (12) months following the Date of
Termination. 
 (ii) CHANGE OF CONTROL. Within twenty-four (24) months following a
Change of Control of the Company, then in addition to all accrued and unpaid wages due to Employee for periods ended on or prior to the Termination Date, the Company thereafter shall: 
 (A) pay to Employee an amount equal to twenty-four (24) months of Employee’s Base Compensation and Target Bonus at the rate in effect as
of the Date of Termination (any such amount to be payable in equal periodic installments at the time and in the amounts due under the Company’s regular payroll practices, as if Employee had remained employed during the period of twenty-four
(24) months following the Date of Termination); and 
 (B) pay the COBRA premiums for continuation of Employee healthcare
benefits for so long as Employee is otherwise eligible, provided Employee makes a timely election for such COBRA coverage, for a period of eighteen (18) months following the Date of Termination. Employee’s right to terminate employment
pursuant to this Section 5.3(b) shall not be affected by Employee’s incapacity due to physical or mental illness. In addition, Employee’s continued employment following any event, act or omission, regardless of the length of such
continued employment, shall not constitute Employee’s consent to, or a waiver of Employee’s rights with respect to, such event, act or omission constituting Good Reason hereunder; and 
  

 -8- 

 (C) pay to Employee an amount of cash which, when reduced by the amount of federal and state
income taxes applicable thereto, would leave Employee with an amount of after-tax cash equal to the excise tax (if any) the Employee may be required to pay under Section 4999 of the Code (and any successor provision thereto) by reason of the
payments described in the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(b)(ii) and any acceleration in vesting of options held by Employee being treated as an “excess parachute payment” for purposes of Section 280G of the Code.

 (c) OTHER. Other than by reason of Employee’s Disability, Good Reason (whether before or after a Change of
Control of the Company), then the Company shall pay to Employee all accrued and unpaid wages due to Employee for periods ended on or prior to the effective date of the termination, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any further payments
to Employee hereunder. 
 5.4 CONDITIONAL NATURE OF SEVERANCE
PAYMENTS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 3 or any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary: 
 (a) NONCOMPETE. Employee acknowledges that the nature of the Company’s business is such that if Employee were to become employed by, or substantially involved in, the business of a competitor of the Company during
the six (6) months following the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company following a Change of Control, then it would be very difficult for Employee not to rely on or use the Company’s trade secrets and confidential
information in connection with that employment. Thus, to avoid the inevitable disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential information, Employee acknowledges and agrees that his right to receive the severance consideration
described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3, above (to the extent Employee is otherwise entitled to such payments thereunder) shall be conditioned upon Employee not directly or indirectly engaging in (whether as an employee, consultant, agent,
proprietor, principal, partner, stockholder, corporate officer, director or otherwise), or having any ownership interest in or participating in the financing, operation, management or control of, any person, firm, corporation or business that
directly competes with Company or is a customer of the Company. If Employee engages, invests, or otherwise participates in any competitive activity described in this Section 5.4(a), then all severance payments consideration to which Employee
otherwise may be entitled under Section 5.2 and 5.3 above, as applicable, thereupon shall cease. 
 (b)
NON-SOLICITATION. Until the date one (1) year after the termination of Employee’s employment with the Company for any reason, Employee agrees and acknowledges that Employee’s right to receive the
severance consideration described in Section 5.2 and 5.3 (to the extent Employee is otherwise entitled to such payments thereunder) shall be conditioned upon Employee not either directly or indirectly soliciting, attempting to hire, recruiting,
encouraging, taking away, hiring any employee of the Company or inducing or otherwise causing an employee to leave his or her employment with the Company (regardless whether to commence employment with Employee or with any other entity or person).
If Employee engages in any such activity, then all severance consideration to which Employee otherwise would be entitled under Section 5.2 and 5.3, above, as applicable, thereupon shall cease. 
 (C) GENERAL RELEASE. Employee shall not be entitled to receive any of the severance
consideration described in Sections 5.2 and 5.3 above, unless prior to receiving the same Employee executes a commercially reasonable general release of claims (including a release of all rights under Section 1542 of the California Civil Code)
against the Company and its directors, officers, employees, stockholders, and other agents and their respective insurers, successors, and assigns, of all claims arising from or in any way relating to Employee’s employment by the Company or the
termination of that employment, provided that such release 
  

 -9- 

 shall not extend to (i) any claims for benefits under any qualified retirement plan maintained by the Company,
(ii) any claims for governmental unemployment benefits, or (iii) Employee’s right to receive indemnification from the Company under applicable provisions of California law or the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company.

 5.5 DEATH. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the death of Employee. If Employee’s employment is
terminated by reason of Employee’s death, then the Company shall pay to Employee’s beneficiaries or legal representatives (i) within 15 days, all accrued and unpaid Base Compensation and vacation pay for all periods ended on or before
the date of Employee’s death, and (ii) the Company shall not be obligated to make any further payments hereunder. 
 5.6
MITIGATION. Employee shall not be required to mitigate the amount of any payment provided for in this Section 5 by seeking other employment or otherwise, nor shall the amount of any payment or benefit provided for in this
Agreement be reduced by any compensation earned by Employee as a result of employment by another employer, self employment earnings, by retirement benefits, by offset against any amount claimed to be owing by Employee to the Company, or otherwise.
No amounts payable to Employee under any plan or program of the Company shall reduce or offset any amounts payable to Employee under this Agreement. 
 5.7 DEFERRAL IN COMMENCEMENT PER IRC § 409A. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 5, to the extent required to
avoid the imposition of any excise or penalty tax pursuant to or other violation of the rules of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the commencement of payment of any severance
consideration pursuant to this Section 5 following the date as of which Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated for any reason (such date, the “termination date”) shall be delayed for six (6) months
following such termination date. 
 6. MISCELLANEOUS 
 6.1 NOTICES. All notices permitted or required by this Agreement shall be in writing, and shall be deemed to have
been delivered and received (i) when personally delivered, or (ii) on the third (3rd) business day
after the date on which deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or (iii) on the date on which transmitted by facsimile or other electronic means generating a receipt
confirming a successful transmission (provided that on that same date a copy of such notice is deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, certified or registered mail, return receipt requested), or (iv) on the next business
day after the date on which deposited with a regulated public carrier (e.g., Federal Express) designating overnight delivery service with a return receipt requested or equivalent thereof administered by such regulated public carrier,
freight prepaid, and addressed in a sealed envelope to the party for whom intended at the address or facsimile number appearing on the signature page of this Agreement, or such other address or facsimile number, notice of which is given in a manner
permitted by this Section 6.1. 
 6.2 EFFECT ON OTHER
REMEDIES. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to preclude, and no provision of this Agreement shall be construed to preclude, the exercise of any other right or remedy which the Company may have by reason of
Employee’s breach of his obligations under this Agreement. 
 6.3 ARBITRATION. Except for a dispute
in which any party is seeking the exercise of the equitable powers of a court, if any dispute arises under this Agreement and is not resolved within fifteen (15) days after one party delivers to each other party a written notice invoking the
arbitration provisions of this Section 6.3, then such dispute shall be resolved by arbitration in Santa Barbara, California, before a single arbitrator under the rules then obtaining of the American Arbitration Association. This agreement to
arbitrate shall be specifically enforceable. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties to the dispute.

 6.4 BINDING ON SUCCESSORS;
ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of, each of the parties hereto, as well as their respective heirs, successors, assigns, and personal representatives. 
 6.5 GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, AND VENUE. This
Agreement shall be construed in accordance with and shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law principles. Each party consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of California for the
purposes of construing or enforcing this Agreement. Subject to the arbitration provisions of Section 6.3, above, the parties agree that the exclusive venues for all such disputes shall be the Superior Court in and for the County of Santa
Barbara, California, sitting in the City of Santa Barbara, California, and hereby waive all arguments and claims that such forum is inconvenient or otherwise inappropriate. 
 6.6 SEVERABILITY. If any of the provisions of this Agreement shall otherwise contravene or be invalid under the laws
of any state, country or other jurisdiction where this Agreement is applicable but for such contravention or invalidity, such contravention or invalidity shall not invalidate all of the provisions of this Agreement but rather it shall be construed,
insofar as the laws of that state or other jurisdiction are concerned, as not containing the provision or provisions contravening or invalid under the laws of that state or jurisdiction, and the rights and obligations created hereby shall be
construed and enforced accordingly. 
 6.7 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts,
each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall be one and the same instrument, binding on all the signatories. 
 6.8 FURTHER ASSURANCES. Each party agrees, upon the request of another party, to make, execute, and deliver, and to take such additional steps as may be necessary to effectuate the
purposes of this Agreement. 
 6.9 ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENT. This
Agreement (a) represents the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, whether written or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof (including the
Prior Agreement), except the Nondisclosure and Assignment of Inventions Agreement by and between Employee and the Company, and (b) may not be modified or amended, except by a written instrument, executed by the party against whom enforcement of
such amendment may be sought.
