EXHIBIT 10.1 - MASTER ISDA AGREEMENT FOR INTEREST RATE SWAPS BETWEEN TD
BANKNORTH N.A. AND THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK
<PAGE>
(MULTICURRENCY -- CROSS BORDER)

                                    ISDA (R)

                  International Swap Dealers Association, Inc.

                                MASTER AGREEMENT

                          dated as of November 29, 2004

THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK and BANKNORTH N.A. have entered and/or anticipate
entering into one or more transactions (each a "Transaction") that are or will
be governed by this Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the
"Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a
"Confirmation") exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:--

1.   INTERPRETATION

(a) DEFINITIONS. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.

(b) INCONSISTENCY. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule
will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any
Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the Schedule), such
Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.

(c) SINGLE AGREEMENT. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact
that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between
the parties (collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the parties
would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

2.   OBLIGATIONS

(a) GENERAL CONDITIONS.

     (i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
     Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this
     Agreement.

     (ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
     on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
     Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
     transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required
     currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment),
     such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner
     customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the
     relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

     (iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1)
     the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of
     Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is continuing, (2)
     the condition precedent that no Early Termination Date in respect of the
     relevant Transaction has occurred or been effectively designated and (3)
     each other applicable condition precedent specified in this Agreement.

(b) CHANGE OF ACCOUNT. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which
such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a reasonable
objection to such change.

(c) NETTING. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:--

     (i) in the same currency; and

     (ii) in respect of the same Transaction,

by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make
payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and,
if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by one party
exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been payable by the other
party, replaced by an obligation upon the party by whom the larger aggregate
amount would have been payable to pay to the other party the excess of the
larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.

The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount
will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the
same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such
amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made
in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that subparagraph (ii) above
will not apply to the Transactions identified as being subject to the election,
together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph (ii) above will not,
or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This election may
be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of Offices through which the parties make and receive
payments or deliveries.

(d) DEDUCTION OR WITHHOLDING FOR TAX.

     (i) GROSS-UP. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
     deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such deduction
     or withholding is required by any applicable law, as modified by the
     practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, then in effect. If
     a party is so required to deduct or withhold, then that party ("X") will:--

          (1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;

          (2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to be
          deducted or withheld (including the full amount required to be
          deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid by X to Y under
          this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier of determining that such
          deduction or withholding is required or receiving notice that such
          amount has been assessed against Y;

          (3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified copy),
          or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y, evidencing such
          payment to such authorities; and

          (4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition to the
          payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this Agreement, such
          additional amount as is necessary to ensure that the net amount
          actually received by Y (free and clear of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether
          assessed against X or Y) will equal the full amount Y would have
          received had no such deduction or withholding been required. However,
          X will not be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent
          that it would not be required to be paid but for:--

               (A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any agreement
               contained in Section 4(a)(i),4(a)(iii) or 4(d); or

               (B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to Section
               3(f) to be accurate and true unless such failure would not have
               occurred but for (I) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
               brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the
               date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of
               whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party
               to this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

                                        2                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
     (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 an 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:--

     under this Agreement and any obligations it has under any Credit Support
     Document to which it is a party and has taken all necessary action to
     authorise such execution, delivery and performance;

     (iii) NO VIOLATION OR CONFLICT. Such execution, delivery and performance do
     not violate or conflict with any law applicable to it, any provision of its

5.   EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND TERMINATION EVENTS

(a) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if

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)

     (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

     before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the
     party;

     (iii) CREDIT SUPPORT DEFAULT.

          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

          Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of the
          other party; or

          (3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims,

     Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1)

     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

          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

          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

          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

          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

                                        6                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
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); 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.

                                        7                           ISDA(R) 1992

6.   EARLY TERMINATION

(a) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING EVENT OF DEFAULT. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is
then continuing, the other party (the "Non-defaulting Party") may, by not more
than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of
Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an
Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however,
"Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule as applying to a
party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions
will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (5), (6) or, to the
extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the
institution of the relevant proceeding or the presentation of the relevant
petition upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default
specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8).

(b) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING TERMINATION EVENT.

     (i) NOTICE. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly
     upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of
     that Termination Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give
     such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may
     reasonably require.

     (ii) TRANSFER TO AVOID TERMINATION EVENT. If either an Illegality under
     Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected
     Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the
     Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to
     designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all
     reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss,
     excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after
     it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under
     this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its
     Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

     If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will give
     notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day period,
     whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within 30 days after
     the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).

     Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will be subject to
     and conditional upon the prior written consent of the other party, which
     consent will not be withheld if such other party's policies in effect at
     such time would permit it to enter into transactions with the transferee on
     the terms proposed.

     (iii) TWO AFFECTED PARTIES. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a
     Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will use
     all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after notice
     thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid that Termination
     Event.

     (iv) RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If:--

          (1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under Section
          6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected with respect to
          all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives
          notice under Section 6(b)(i); or

          (2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon Merger
          or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax Event Upon Merger
          occurs and the Burdened Party is not the Affected Party,

     either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the case
     of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a Tax Event
     or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than one Affected
     Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit
     Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one
     Affected Party may, by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and
     provided that the relevant Termination Event is then

                                        8                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
     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.

     (ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
     Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) in
     respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but
     without prejudice to the other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if
     any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date shall be determined
     pursuant to Section 6(e).

(d) CALCULATIONS.

     (i) STATEMENT. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
     occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
     calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and will
     provide to the other party a statement (1) showing, in reasonable detail,
     such calculations (including all relevant quotations and specifying any
     amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the relevant
     account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
     written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining
     a Market Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will
     be conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation.

     (ii) PAYMENT DATE. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
     Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that
     notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
     Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of
     Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on
     which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early
     Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event).
     Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted under
     applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the
     Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early Termination
     Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at the Applicable
     Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
     and the actual number of days elapsed.

(e) PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule
of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss", and a payment method,
either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the parties fail to
designate a payment measure or payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed
that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method", as the case may be, shall apply.
The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and
determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.

     (i) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event
     of Default:--

          (1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market
          Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting
          Party the excess, if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the
          Settlement Amount (determined by the Non-defaulting Party) in respect
          of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent
          of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party over (B) the
          Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the
          Defaulting Party.

          (2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the
          Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party, if a positive
          number, the Non-defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement.

          (3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and
          Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum
          of the Settlement Amount (determined by the

                                        9                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
          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 Part will be deemed to be references to the
          Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party,
          respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions
          are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all
          Terminated Transactions.

          (2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:--

               (A) if Market Quotation applies, each party will determine a
               Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and
               an amount will be payable equal to (I) the sum of (a) one-half of
               the difference between the Settlement Amount of the party with
               the higher Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount of
               the party with the lower Settlement Amount ("Y") and (b) the
               Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X
               less (II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid
               Amounts owing to Y; and

               (B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
               respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions
               are being terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions)
               and an amount will be payable equal to one-half of the difference
               between the Loss of the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the
               Loss of the party with the lower Loss ("Y").

If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a
negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.

     (iii) ADJUSTMENT FOR BANKRUPTCY. In circumstances where an Early
     Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in
     respect of a party, the amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be
     subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and permitted by law to
     reflect any payments or deliveries made by one party to the other under
     this Agreement (and retained by such other party) during the period from
     the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
     under Section 6(d)(ii).

     (iv) PRE-ESTIMATE. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an
     amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre-estimate of
     loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and
     the loss of protection against future risks and except as otherwise
     provided in this Agreement neither party will be entitled to recover any
     additional damages as a consequence of such losses.

                                       10                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
7.   TRANSFER

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of the
other party, except that:--

(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all
or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any
other right or remedy under this Agreement); and

(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any
amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.

8.   CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY

(a) PAYMENT IN THE CONTRACTUAL CURRENCy. Each payment under this Agreement will
be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that payment
(the "Contractual Currency"). To the extent permitted by applicable law, any
obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the Contractual Currency
will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in any currency other than the
Contractual Currency, except to the extent such tender results in the actual
receipt by the party to which payment is owed, acting in a reasonable manner and
in good faith in converting the currency so tendered into the Contractual
Currency, of the full amount in the Contractual Currency of all amounts payable
in respect of this Agreement. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual
Currency so received falls short of the amount in the Contractual Currency
payable in respect of this Agreement, the party required to make the payment
will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional
amount in the Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the
shortfall. If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received
exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount of
such excess.

(b) JUDGMENTS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is rendered
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement, (ii) for
the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in respect of this
Agreement or (iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the
payment of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which such party is
entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be entitled to receive
immediately from the other party the amount of any shortfall of the Contractual
Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency and will refund promptly to the other party any excess of the
Contractual Currency received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in
such other currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual Currency is
converted into the currency of the judgment or order for the purposes of such
judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting
in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency received
into the Contractual Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the
amount of the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such party.
The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any premiums and costs
of exchange payable in connection with the purchase of or conversion into the
Contractual Currency.

(c) SEPARATE INDEMNITIES. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent
causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party
to which any payment is owed and will not be affected by judgment being obtained
or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in respect of this
Agreement.

(d) EVIDENCE OF LOSS. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.

                                       11                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
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 he entered into as soon as practicable and
     may he 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

                                       12                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
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 notice or other communication in respect of this
Agreement may be given in 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

Schedule) and will be deemed effective as indicated:--

     (i) if in writing and delivered in person or by courier, on the date it is
     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 a 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

                                       13                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
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.

14.  DEFINITIONS

As used in this Agreement:--

"ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT" has the meaning specified in Section 5(b).

Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the "Replacement Transaction") that
would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of
any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent)
by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction
or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have

                                       15                           ISDA(R) 1992
<PAGE>
been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of
the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be
excluded but, without limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for
the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction
of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to
be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation
as such party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The
party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference
Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of
the same day and time (without regard to different time zones) on or as soon as
reasonably practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and
time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good
faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if
each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three
quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the
quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest
values. If exactly three such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will
be the quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations.
For this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or
lowest value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If fewer than
three quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market Quotation in
respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions
cannot be determined.

"NON-DEFAULT RATE" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof or
evidence of any actual cost) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified by it) if

selected by the party determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from
among dealers of the highest credit standing which satisfy all the criteria that

dealers having an office in the same city.

"RELEVANT JURISDICTION" means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in

on, such payer.

Date, the sum of:--

Transactions for which a Market Quotation cannot be determined or would not (in
the reasonable belief of the party making the determination) produce a
commercially reasonable result.

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

     adding ", repurchase transaction, reverse repurchase transaction,
     buy/sell-back transaction, agreement for the purchase, sale or transfer of

     description (including, without limitation, petroleum, natural gas, natural
     gas liquids, and byproducts thereof).

(c)  The "CROSS DEFAULT" provisions of Section 5(a)(vi) will apply to Party A
     and will apply to Party B but shall exclude any default that results solely
     from wire transfer difficulties or an error or omission of an
     administrative or operational nature (so long as sufficient funds are
     available to the relevant party on the relevant date), but only if payment
     is made within three Business Days after such transfer difficulties have
     been corrected or the error or omission has been discovered.

     "SPECIFIED INDEBTEDNESS" The definition of "Specified Indebtedness" in
     Section 14 of this Agreement shall be replaced with the following:

     convertible into or exchangeable for, debt or stock; or

     (iv) X enters into any agreement providing for any of the foregoing.

(e)  The "AUTOMATIC EARLY TERMINATION" provision of Section 6(a) will not apply
     to Party A and will not apply to Party B; provided, however, where the
     Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1),(3),(4),(5),(6) or, to
     the extent analogous thereto, (8), with respect to a party has occurred and
     is then continuing, and any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with
     competent jurisdiction acting pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law
     or other similar law affecting such party makes an order which has or
     purports to have the effect of prohibiting the other party from designating
     an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions at any
     time after such Event of Default has occurred and is then continuing in
     accordance with Section 6(a), the "Automatic Early Termination" provision
     of Section 6(a) will apply to such party.

     currency is freely available the Termination Currency shall be United
     States Dollars.

PART 5. OTHER PROVISIONS

1.   ISDA DEFINITIONS. This Agreement incorporates, and is subject to and
     governed by, unless otherwise specified in a Confirmation, the 2000 ISDA
     Definitions (the "Definitions"), published by the International Swaps and
     Derivatives Association, Inc. In the event of any inconsistency between the
     provisions of this Agreement and the Definitions, this Agreement will
     prevail.

     Any reference to a:

     (i)  "Swap Transaction" in the Definitions is deemed to be a reference to a
          "Transaction" for the purpose of interpreting this Agreement or any
          Confirmation; and

     (ii) "Transaction" in this Agreement or any Confirmation is deemed to be a
          reference to a "Swap Transaction" for the purpose of interpreting the
          Definitions.

2.   PAYMENTS IN TRUST. If the parties are each required to make payments
     pursuant to Section 2(a) on the same day in respect of a Transaction but
     the payments are to be made in different currencies, the party that
     receives the payment due to it first shall hold an amount equal to the
     payment it received in trust (with the right to commingle that amount with
     its general funds) for the benefit of the other party until that other
     party receives the corresponding payment due to it.

3.   DEFAULT INTEREST; PHYSICAL SETTLEMENT. Section 2(e) of this Agreement is
     amended by deleting lines 9 and 10 thereof and substituting therefor the
     following:

     "any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will indemnify the
     other party on demand for any costs, losses or expenses (including the
     costs of borrowing bonds or shares, if applicable) resulting from such
     default. A certificate signed by the deliveree setting out such costs,
     losses or expenses in reasonable detail will be conclusive evidence that
     they have been incurred."

4.   ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATIONS. The following shall be added to Section 3(a) of
     the Agreement:

     (vi) The terms and conditions of any Transaction entered into under this
          Agreement comply with all policies, procedures, by-laws or management
          directives of such party whether in force by resolution or otherwise.
          For greater certainty, the other party has no responsibility
          whatsoever to confirm compliance by such party with respect to any
          such policy, procedure, by-law or management directive whether it has
          knowledge of same or not.

5.   ILLEGALITY. For the purpose of Section 5(b)(i), the obligation of a party
     to comply with any directive issued or given by any Government agency or
     authority with competent jurisdiction which has the result referred to in
     Section 5(b)(i) will be deemed to be an "Illegality".

6.   SET-OFF. The following new Section 6(f) is added to the Agreement:

     "(f) Any amount (the "Early Termination Amount") payable to one party (the
     Payee) by the other party (the Payer) under Section 6(e), in circumstances
     where there is a Defaulting Party or one Affected Party in the case where a
     Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv) or 5(b)(v) has occurred, will, at
     the option of the party ("X") other than the Defaulting Party or the
     Affected Party (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the
     Affected Party), be reduced by its set-off against any amount(s) (the
     "Other Agreement Amount") payable (whether at such time or in the future or
     upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to the Payer
     (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the
     obligation) under any other agreement(s) between the Payee and the Payer or
     instrument(s) or undertaking(s) issued or executed by one party to, or in
     favour of, the other party (and the Other Agreement Amount will be
     discharged promptly and in all respects to the extent it is so set-off). X
     will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this
     Section 6(f).
<PAGE>
                                                                         Page 10

     For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other
     Agreement Amount (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted
     by X into the currency in which the other is denominated at the rate of
     exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner
     and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.

     If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that
     obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant
     party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained.

     Nothing in this Section 6(f) shall be effective to create a charge or other
     security interest. This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice and in
     addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other
     right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by
     operation of law, contract or otherwise)."

7.   TRANSFER. Section 7 shall be amended by adding the words "which consent
     shall not be unreasonably withheld" after the word "party" in the third
     line thereof.

8.   SERVICE OF PROCESS. With respect to the third sentence of Section 13(c) of
     this Agreement, the reference therein to Section 12 to the contrary
     notwithstanding, no consent is given by either party to service of process
     by telex, facsimile transmission, or electronic messaging.

9.   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any and all
     right to trial by jury in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
     relating to this Agreement or any Transaction and acknowledges that this
     waiver is a material inducement to the other party's entering into this
     Agreement.

10.  The parties agree to add the following as Section 15 of the Agreement.

     "15. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES.

     Each party will be deemed to represent to the other party on the date on
     which it enters into a Transaction that (absent a written agreement between
     the parties that expressly imposes affirmative obligations to the contrary
     for that Transaction):-

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

     (B) EVALUATION AND UNDERSTANDING. It is capable of evaluating and
     understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional
     advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of
     that Transaction. It is also capable of assuming, and assumes, the
     financial and other risks of that Transaction.

     (C) STATUS OF PARTIES. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an
     advisor for it in respect of that Transaction."

11.  EQUIVALENCY CLAUSE. For the purpose of disclosure pursuant to the Interest
     Act (Canada), the yearly rate of interest to which any rate of interest
     payable under the Agreement that is calculated on any basis other than a
     full calendar year is equivalent may be determined by multiplying such rate
     by a fraction the numerator of which is the actual number of days in the
     calendar year in which such yearly rate of interest is to be ascertained
     and the denominator of which is the number of days comprising such other
     basis.

12.  ENGLISH LANGUAGE. The parties hereby acknowledge that it is their express
     wish that this Agreement be drawn in the English language only; les parties
     reconnaisent qu'il est de leur volonte expresse que la presente entente
     soit redigee en langue anglaise seulement.

                                                                         Page 11

13.  ESCROW PAYMENTS. If by reason of the time difference between cities in
     which payments are to be made it is not possible for simultaneous payments
     or deliveries to be made, or otherwise, on any date on which both parties
     are required to make payments or deliveries hereunder, either party may at
     its option and in its sole discretion notify that other party at least
     three Business Days prior to such date that payments on that date are to
     made in escrow to a bank of internationally recognised standing (the
     "Escrow Agent") selected by such party.

     In such case, deposit of any payment due for a Transaction earlier on that
     date shall be made by 2:00 P.M. local time on the Payment Date with the
     Escrow Agent accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions (a) to release
     the deposited payment to the intended recipient upon receipt by the Escrow
     Agent of the required deposit of the corresponding payment from the other
     party on the same date accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to
     the same effect or (b) if the required deposit of the corresponding payment
     is not made on that same date, to return the payment deposited to the party
     that paid it into escrow.

     The party that elects to have payments made in escrow shall pay the costs
     of the Escrow Agent and the costs applicable to the escrow arrangement and
     shall cause those arrangements to provide that the recipient of the payment
     due to be deposited first shall accrue interest for the credit of the
     recipient of such payment for each day the deposit is held in escrow.
     Interest shall be at the rate offered by the Escrow Agent for overnight
     deposits in the relevant currency in the office where it holds the
     deposited payment. Interest shall only be payable if the escrow payment is
     not released by the Escrow Agent by the end of the Business Day it is
     deposited for any reason other than the intended recipient's failure to
     make the escrow deposit it is required to make hereunder in a timely
     fashion.

14.  ELECTRONIC CONFIRMATIONS. Transactions may be confirmed in accordance with
     this subpart, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein. Where a
     Transaction is confirmed by means of an electronic messaging system
     (including without limitation, circumstances where such electronic message
     is printed and faxed or otherwise delivered by one party to the other
     party) that the parties have elected to use to confirm such Transaction,

     (i)  such confirmation will constitute a Confirmation as referred to in
          this Agreement even where not so specified in the confirmation, and

     (ii) such confirmation will supplement, form part of, and be subject to
          this Agreement and all provisions in this Agreement will govern the
          confirmation except as modified therein.

PART 6. FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND CURRENCY OPTION PROVISIONS

1.   ISDA 1998 FX AND CURRENCY OPTION DEFINITIONS

     (a) In respect of any FX Transaction or Currency Option (for the purposes
     of this section, a "Currency Transaction"), this Agreement incorporates,
     and is subject to and governed by, unless otherwise specified in a
     Confirmation, the 1998 ISDA FX and Currency Option Definitions (the "FX
     Definitions"), published by the International Swaps and Derivatives
     Association, Inc. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions
     of this Agreement and the FX Definitions, this Agreement will prevail. In
     the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation
     in respect of a Currency Transaction and either this Agreement or any
     defined terms (eg. the Definitions or the FX Definitions), such
     Confirmation shall prevail solely with regard to the calculation and
     determination of the amount of the parties' respective payment obligations
     under such Currency Transaction (and the due dates therefor) for purposes
     of Section 2(a)(i) and (ii) of the Agreement. In every other respect, in
     the event of any inconsistency or other conflict, the terms of this
     Agreement shall prevail.

     (b) Section 3.6(a) of the FX Definitions is hereby amended by deleting in
     its entirety the final sentence thereof and adding the following two
     sentences at the end thereof:

     "A Currency Option may be exercised in whole or in part. If a Currency
     Option is exercised in part, the unexercised portion shall not be
     extinguished thereby but shall remain a Currency Option to the extent of
     such unexercised portion until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the
     Currency Option or (ii) an exercise of the Currency Option that leaves no
     remaining unexercised portion thereof."

2.   SCOPE OF AGREEMENT. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
     contrary, if the parties enter into any FX Transaction or Currency Option,
     such transaction shall be subject to, governed by and construed in
     accordance with the terms of this Agreement even where not so specified in
     the confirmation, and such confirmation shall constitute a "Confirmation"
     as referred to in this Agreement unless the confirmation relating thereto
     shall specifically state to the contrary. Each such FX Transaction or
     Currency Option shall be a Transaction for the purposes of this Agreement.

3.   TERMS RELATING TO PAYMENT OF PREMIUM

     (a) Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, the Premium related
     to a Currency Option shall be paid on its Premium Payment Date in
     immediately available funds.

     (b) If a Premium is not received on the Premium Payment Date, the Seller
     may elect: (i) to accept a late payment of such Premium; (ii) to give
     written notice of such non-payment and, if such payment shall not be
     received within two Local Business Days of such notice, treat the related
     Currency Option as void; or (iii) to give written notice of such
     non-payment and, if such payment shall not be received within two Local
     Business Days of such notice, treat such non-payment as an Event of Default
     under Section 5(a)(i). If the Seller elects to act under clause (i) of the
     preceding sentence, the Buyer shall pay interest on such Premium in the
     same currency as such Premium from the day such Premium was due until the
     day paid at the Default Rate, as determined in good faith by the Seller; if
     the Seller elects to act under clause (ii) of the preceding sentence, the
     Buyer shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and actual damages incurred in
     connection with such unpaid or late Premium or void Currency Option,
     including without limitation, interest on such Premium in the same currency
     as such Premium at the then prevailing market rate and any other costs or
     expenses incurred by the Seller in covering its obligations (including,
     without limitation, a delta hedge) with respect to such Currency Option.

PARAGRAPH 3. CREDIT SUPPORT OBLIGATIONS

(a) DELIVERY AMOUNT. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the
Secured Party on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount
for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Pledgor's Minimum Transfer Amount,
then the Pledgor will Transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support
having a Value as of the date of Transfer at least equal to the applicable
Delivery Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified
in Paragraph 13, the "DELIVERY AMOUNT" applicable to the Pledgor for any
Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:

     (i)  the Credit Support Amount

     exceeds

     (ii) the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held
          by the Secured Party.

(b) RETURN AMOUNT. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the
Pledgor on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Return Amount for that
Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Secured Party's Minimum Transfer Amount,
then the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor Posted Credit Support
specified by the Pledgor in that demand having a Value as of the date of
Transfer as close as practicable to the applicable Return Amount (rounded
pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the
"RETURN Amount" applicable to the Secured Party for any Valuation Date will
equal the amount by which:

     (i)  the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held
          by the Secured Party

     exceeds

     (ii) the Credit Support Amount.

"CREDIT SUPPORT AMOUNT" means, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, for
any Valuation Date (i) the Secured Party's Exposure for that Valuation Date plus
(ii) the aggregate of all Independent Amounts applicable to the Pledgor, if any,
minus (iii) all Independent Amounts applicable to the Secured Party, if any,
minus (iv) the Pledgor's Threshold; provided, however, that the Credit Support
Amount will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of Credit Support
Amount yields a number less than zero.

PARAGRAPH 4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT, TRANSFER TIMING, CALCULATIONS AND
SUBSTITUTIONS

(a) CONDITIONS PRECEDENT. Each Transfer obligation of the Pledgor under
Paragraphs 3(a) and 5 and of the Secured Party under Paragraphs 3(b), 4(d)(ii),
5 and 6(d) is subject to the conditions precedent that:

     (i) no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Specified Condition
     has occurred and is continuing with respect to the other party; and

     (ii) no Early Termination Date for which any unsatisfied payment
     obligations exist has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event
     of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the other party.

(b) TRANSFER TIMING. Subject to Paragraphs 4(a) and 5 and unless otherwise
specified, if a demand for the Transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted
Credit Support is made by the Notification Time, then the relevant Transfer will
be made not later than the close of business on the next Local Business Day; if
a demand is made after the Notification Time, then the relevant Transfer will be
made not later than the close of business on the second Local Business Day
thereafter.

(c) CALCULATIONS. All calculations of Value and Exposure for purposes of
Paragraphs 3 and 6(d) will be made by the Valuation Agent as of the Valuation

the case of Paragraph 6(d), following the date of calculation).

                                        2                           ISDA(R) 1994

(d)  SUBSTITUTIONS.

     (i) Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, upon notice to the Secured

     notice not later than the Local Business Day following the date on which
     the Secured Party receives the Substitute Credit Support, unless otherwise

     Secured Party only will be obligated to Transfer Posted Credit Support with
     a Value as of the date of Transfer of that Posted Credit Support equal to
     the Value as of that date of the Substitute Credit Support.

PARAGRAPH 5. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

If a party (a "Disputing Party") disputes (I) the Valuation Agent's calculation
of a Delivery Amount or a Return Amount or (II) the Value of any Transfer of
Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, then (1) the Disputing Party
will notify the Valuation Agent (if the Valuation Agent is not the Disputing
Party) and the other party (if the Valuation Agent is not that other party) not
later than the close of business on the Local Business Day following (X) the
date that the demand is made under Paragraph 3 in the case of (I) above or (Y)
the date of Transfer in the case of (II) above, (2) subject to Paragraph 4(a),
the appropriate party will Transfer the undisputed amount to the other party not
later than the close of business on the Local Business Day following (X) the
date that the demand is made under Paragraph 3 in the case of (I) above or (Y)
the date of Transfer in the case of (II) above, (3) the parties will consult
with each other in an attempt to resolve the dispute and (4) if they fail to
resolve the dispute by the Resolution Time, then:

     (i) In the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount,
     unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will
     recalculate the Exposure and the Value as of the Recalculation Date by:

          (A) utilizing any calculations of Exposure for the Transactions (or
          Swap Transactions) that the parties have agreed are not in dispute;

          (B) calculating the Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap
          Transactions) in dispute by seeking four actual quotations at
          mid-market from Reference Market-makers for purposes of calculating
          Market Quotation, and taking the arithmetic average of those obtained;
          provided that if four quotations are not available for a particular
          Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then fewer than four quotations may
          be used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and if no
          quotations are available for a particular Transaction (or Swap
          Transaction), then the Valuation Agent's original calculations will be
          used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and

          (C) utilizing the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating
          the Value, if disputed, of Posted Credit Support.

     (ii) In the case of a dispute involving the Value of any Transfer of
     Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, the Valuation Agent will
     recalculate the Value as of the date of Transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13.

Following a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will
notify each party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) not
later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following the
Resolution Time. The appropriate party will, upon demand following that notice
by the Valuation Agent or a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to
Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), make the appropriate Transfer.

PARAGRAPH 6. HOLDING AND USING POSTED COLLATERAL

(a) CARE OF POSTED COLLATERAL. Without limiting the Secured Party's rights under
Paragraph 6(c), the Secured Party will exercise reasonable care to assure the
safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the extent required by applicable law,
and in any event the Secured Party will be deemed to have exercised reasonable
care if it exercises at least the same degree of care as it would exercise with
respect to its own property. Except as specified in the preceding sentence, the
Secured Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral, including,
without limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce or
preserve any rights pertaining thereto.

(b)  ELIGIBILITY TO HOLD POSTED COLLATERAL; CUSTODIANS.

     (i) GENERAL. Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in
     Paragraph 13 for holding Posted Collateral, the Secured Party will be
     entitled to hold Posted Collateral or to appoint an agent (a "Custodian")
     to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party. Upon notice by the Secured
     Party to the Pledgor of the appointment of a Custodian, the Pledgor's
     obligations to make any Transfer will be discharged by making the Transfer
     to that Custodian. The holding of Posted Collateral by a Custodian will be
     deemed to be the holding of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party for
     which the Custodian is acting.

     (ii) FAILURE TO SATISFY CONDITIONS. If the Secured Party or its Custodian
     fails to satisfy any conditions for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a
     demand made by the Pledgor, the Secured Party will, not later than five
     Local Business Days after the demand, Transfer or cause its Custodian to
     Transfer all Posted Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies
     those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those conditions.

     (iii) LIABILITY. The Secured Party will be liable for the acts or omissions
     of its Custodian to the same extent that the Secured Party would be liable
     hereunder for its own acts or omissions.

(c) USE OF POSTED COLLATERAL. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and
without limiting the rights and obligations of the parties under Paragraphs 3,
4(d)(ii), 5, 6(d) and 8, if the Secured Party is not a Defaulting Party or an
Affected Party with respect to a Specified Condition and no Early Termination
Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or
Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then the Secured Party
will, notwithstanding Section 9-207 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code,
have the right to:

     (i) sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or
     otherwise dispose of, or otherwise use in its business any Posted
     Collateral it holds, free from any claim or right of any nature whatsoever
     of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption by the Pledgor;
     and

     (ii) register any Posted Collateral in the name of the Secured Party, its
     Custodian or a nominee for either.

For purposes of the obligation to Transfer Eligible Credit Support or Posted
Credit Support pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 5 and any rights or remedies
authorized under this Agreement, the Secured Party will be deemed to continue to
hold all Posted Collateral and to receive Distributions made thereon, regardless
of whether the Secured Party has exercised any rights with respect to any Posted
Collateral pursuant to (i) or (ii) above.

(d)  DISTRIBUTIONS AND INTEREST AMOUNT.

     (i) DISTRIBUTIONS. Subject to Paragraph 4(a), if the Secured Party receives
     or is deemed to receive Distributions on a Local Business Day, it will
     Transfer to the Pledgor not later than the following Local Business Day any
     Distributions it receives or is deemed to receive to the extent that a
     Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that Transfer, as
     calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be
     deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).

     (ii) INTEREST AMOUNT. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and
     subject to Paragraph 4(a), in lieu of any interest, dividends or other
     amounts paid or deemed to have been paid with respect to Posted Collateral
     in the form of Cash (all of which may be retained by the Secured Party),
     the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor at the times specified in
     Paragraph 13 the Interest Amount to the extent that a Delivery Amount would
     not be created or increased by that Transfer, as calculated by the
     Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation

                                        4                           ISDA(R) 1994
<PAGE>
     will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose). The Interest
     Amount or portion thereof not Transferred pursuant to this Paragraph will
     constitute Posted Collateral in the form of Cash and will be subject to the
     security interest granted under Paragraph 2.

PARAGRAPH 7. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

For purposes of Section 5(a)(iii)(1) of this Agreement, an Event of Default will
exist with respect to a party if:

     (i) that party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due,
     any Transfer of Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral or the Interest
     Amount, as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure continues
     for two Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that
     party;

     (ii) that party fails to comply with any restriction or prohibition
     specified in this Annex with respect to any of the rights specified in
     Paragraph 6(c) and that failure continues for five Local Business Days
     after notice of that failure is given to that party; or

     (iii) that party fails to comply with or perform any agreement or
     obligation other than those specified in Paragraphs 7(i) and 7(ii) and that
     failure continues for 30 days after notice of that failure is given to that
     party.

PARAGRAPH 8. CERTAIN RIGHTS AND REMEDIES

(a) SECURED PARTY'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If at any time (1) an Event of Default
or Specified Condition with respect to the Pledgor has occurred and is
continuing or (2) an Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as
the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the
Pledgor, then, unless the Pledgor has paid in full all of its Obligations that
are then due, the Secured Party may exercise one or more of the following rights
and remedies:

     (i) all rights and remedies available to a secured party under applicable
     law with respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party;

     (ii) any other rights and remedies available to the Secured Party under the
     terms of Other Posted Support, if any;

     (iii) the right to Set-off any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect
     to any Obligations against any Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of
     any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party (or any obligation of the
     Secured Party to Transfer that Posted Collateral); and

     (iv) the right to liquidate any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party
     through one or more public or private sales or other dispositions with such
     notice, if any, as may be required by applicable law, free from any claim
     or right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or
     right of redemption by the Pledgor (with the Secured Party having the right
     to purchase any or all of the Posted Collateral to be sold) and to apply
     the proceeds (or the Cash equivalent thereof) from the liquidation of the
     Posted Collateral to any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any
     Obligations in that order as the Secured Party may elect.

Each party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of
securities may decline speedily in value and is of a type customarily sold on a
recognized market, and, accordingly, the Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice
of any sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party, except any notice
that is required by law and cannot be waived.

(b) PLEDGOR'S RIGHTS AND REMEDIES. If at any time an Early Termination Date has
occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified
Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then (except in the case of an
Early Termination Date relating to less than all Transactions (or Swap
Transactions) where the Secured Party has paid in full all of its obligations
that are then due under Section 6(e) of this Agreement):

     (i) the Pledgor may exercise all rights and remedies available to a pledgor
     under applicable law with respect to Posted Collateral held by the Secured
     Party;

                                        5                           ISDA(R) 1994
<PAGE>
     (ii) the Pledgor may exercise any other rights and remedies available to
     the Pledgor under the terms of Other Posted Support, if any;

     (iii) the Secured Party will be obligated immediately to Transfer all
     Posted Collateral and the Interest Amount to the Pledgor; and

     (iv) to the extent that Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount is not so
     Transferred pursuant to

     (iii) above, the Pledgor may:

          (A) Set-off any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any
          Obligations against any Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of
          any Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party (or any obligation of
          the Secured Party to Transfer that Posted Collateral); and

          (B) to the extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A)
          above, withhold payment of any remaining amounts payable by the
          Pledgor with respect to any Obligations, up to the Value of any
          remaining Posted Collateral held by the Secured Party, until that
          Posted Collateral is Transferred to the Pledgor.

(c) DEFICIENCIES AND EXCESS PROCEEDS. The Secured Party will Transfer to the
Pledgor any proceeds and Posted Credit Support remaining after liquidation,
Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) after satisfaction in
full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations; the
Pledgor in all events will remain liable for any amounts remaining unpaid after
any liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b).

(d) FINAL RETURNS. When no amounts are or thereafter may become payable by the
Pledgor with respect to any Obligations (except for any potential liability
under Section 2(d) of this Agreement), the Secured Party will Transfer to the
Pledgor all Posted Credit Support and the Interest Amount, if any.

PARAGRAPH 9. REPRESENTATIONS

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed
to be repeated as of each date on which it, as the Pledgor, Transfers Eligible
Collateral) that:

     (i) it has the power to grant a security interest in and lien on any
     Eligible Collateral it Transfers as the Pledgor and has taken all necessary
     actions to authorize the granting of that security interest and lien;

     (ii) it is the sole owner of or otherwise has the right to Transfer all
     Eligible Collateral Transferred to the Secured Party hereunder, free and
     clear of any security interest, lien, encumbrance or other restrictions
     other than the security interest and lien granted under Paragraph 2;

     (iii) upon the Transfer of any Eligible Collateral to the Secured Party
     under the terms of this Annex, the Secured Party will have a valid and
     perfected first priority security interest therein (assuming that any
     central clearing corporation or any third-party financial intermediary or
     other entity not within the control of the Pledgor involved in the Transfer
     of that Eligible Collateral gives the notices and takes the action required
     of it under relevant law for perfection of that interest); and

     (iv) the performance by it of its obligations under this Annex will not
     result in the creation of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance
     on any Posted Collateral other than the security interest and lien granted
     under Paragraph 2.

PARAGRAPH 10. EXPENSES

(a) GENERAL. Except as otherwise provided in Paragraphs 10(b) and 10(c), each
party will pay its own costs and expenses in connection with performing its
obligations under this Annex and neither party will be liable for any costs and
expenses incurred by the other party in connection herewith.

                                        6                           ISDA(R) 1994
<PAGE>
(b) POSTED CREDIT SUPPORT. The Pledgor will promptly pay when due all taxes,
assessments or charges of any nature that are imposed with respect to Posted
Credit Support held by the Secured Party upon becoming aware of the same,
regardless of whether any portion of that Posted Credit Support is subsequently
disposed of under Paragraph 6(c), except for those taxes, assessments and
charges that result from the exercise of the Secured Party's rights under
Paragraph 6(c).

(c) LIQUIDATION/APPLICATION OF POSTED CREDIT SUPPORT. All reasonable costs and
expenses incurred by or on behalf of the Secured Party or the Pledgor in
connection with the liquidation and/or application of any Posted Credit Support
under Paragraph 8 will be payable, on demand and pursuant to the Expenses
Section of this Agreement, by the Defaulting Party or, if there is no Defaulting
Party, equally by the parties.

PARAGRAPH 11. MISCELLANEOUS

(a) DEFAULT INTEREST. A Secured Party that fails to make, when due, any Transfer
of Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount will be obligated to pay the Pledgor
(to the extent permitted under applicable law) an amount equal to interest at
the Default Rate multiplied by the Value of the items of property that were
required to be Transferred, from (and including) the date that Posted Collateral
or Interest Amount was required to be Transferred to (but excluding) the date of
Transfer of that Posted Collateral or Interest Amount. This interest will be
calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days
elapsed.

(b) FURTHER ASSURANCES. Promptly following a demand made by a party, the other
party will execute, deliver, file and record any financing statement, specific
assignment or other document and take any other action that may be necessary or
desirable and reasonably requested by that party to create, preserve, perfect or
validate any security interest or lien granted under Paragraph 2, to enable that
party to exercise or enforce its rights under this Annex with respect to Posted
Credit Support or an Interest Amount or to effect or document a release of a
security interest on Posted Collateral or an Interest Amount.

(c) FURTHER PROTECTION. The Pledgor promptly will give notice to the Secured
Party of, and defend against, any suit, action, proceeding or lien that involves
Posted Credit Support Transferred by the Pledgor or that could adversely affect
the security interest and lien granted by it under Paragraph 2, unless that
suit, action, proceeding or lien results from the exercise of the Secured
Party's rights under Paragraph 6(c).

(d) GOOD FAITH AND COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER. Performance of all
obligations under this Annex including, but not limited to, all calculations,
valuations and determinations made by either party, will be made in good faith
and in a commercially reasonable manner.

(e) DEMANDS AND NOTICES. All demands and notices made by a party under this
Annex will be made as specified in the Notices Section of this Agreement, except
as otherwise provided in Paragraph 13.

(f) SPECIFICATIONS OF CERTAIN MATTERS. Anything referred to in this Annex as

                            THE TORONTO-DOMINION BANK
                                   ("Party A")

                                       AND

                                 BANKNORTH N.A.
                                   ("Party B")

WHEREAS the parties entered into an ISDA Master Agreement dated as of November
29, 2004, as may be amended from time to time (the "Agreement") under which the
parties intend to enter or have entered into one or more Transactions (as
defined in the Agreement).

AND WHEREAS the parties desire to amend the Agreement.

NOW THEREFORE FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION the receipt and sufficiency of which
are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

1.   Any capitalized terms used herein unless specifically defined in this
     Amending Agreement shall have the meanings given them in the Agreement.

2.   CREDIT SUPPORT ANNEX EXPOSURE CALCULATIONS. Paragraph 13(m) of the Annex is
     amended by adding the following new section (7):

     "7. EXPOSURE. For purposes of this Annex, any calculation of Exposure shall
     not include Transactions that are FX Transactions."

3.   NOVATION NETTING - FX TRANSACTIONS. Part 6 of the Schedule to the Agreement
     is amended by adding the following new Part 6(4):

     "4. AUTOMATIC NOVATION NETTING. In addition to the settlement netting
     provisions of Section 2(c) of this Agreement, unless otherwise agreed, if
     the parties enter into an FX Transaction that is governed by this Agreement
     through a pair of Novation Netting Offices giving rise to an obligation
     under this Agreement to pay an amount of currency (a "Currency Obligation")
     on the same date and in the same currency as a then existing Currency
     Obligation between the same pair of Novation Netting Offices then,
     immediately upon entering into such FX Transaction, each such Currency
     Obligation shall automatically and without further action be canceled and
     simultaneously replaced by a new Currency Obligation for such date
     determined as follows: The amount of such currency that would otherwise
     have been payable by each party on such date shall be aggregated and the
     party with the larger aggregate amount shall have a new Currency Obligation
     to pay to the other party the amount of such currency by which its
     aggregate amount exceeds the other party's aggregate amount, provided that
     if the aggregate amounts are equal, no new Currency Obligation shall arise.
     This paragraph shall not affect any other Currency Obligation of a party to
     pay any different currency on the same date. This provision shall apply
     notwithstanding that either party (i)
<PAGE>
                                      -2-

     may fail to send out a Confirmation in respect of any new Currency
     Obligation, or (ii) may fail to record in any of its books the new Currency
     Obligation.

     "Novation Netting Office" means in relation to Party A:

     TD North America (Toronto, New York), London and any other office so
     designated from time to time.

     "Novation Netting Office" means in relation to Party B:

     The offices indicated in Part 4(d) of this Schedule as being applicable to
     Party B."

4.   HEADINGS. The headings used in this Amendment are for convenience of
     reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken
     into consideration in interpreting this Amendment.

5.   The parties represent and warrant to the other that all the Representations
     made in Section 3 of the Agreement continue to be true and shall apply to
     this Amending Agreement.

6.   The execution of this Amending Agreement effectively amends the Agreement
     and the terms and conditions contained therein. Except as amended herein,
     Party A and Party B hereby confirm that in all other respects the terms,
     covenants and conditions of the Agreement remain unchanged, unmodified, and
     in full force and effect.

7.   This Amending Agreement shall be interconnective and form part of the
     Agreement and shall be binding on and enure to the benefit of the parties
     and their respective successors and assigns.

8.   This Amending Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with
     the laws of the State of New York.

                          SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT

      This SECURITIES PURCHASE AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is entered into as
of May 5, 2005, by and among ScanSoft, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the

      The parties hereto agree as follows:

Exhibit A, at a price per Share equal to $4.24 (the "Per Share Purchase Price"),
and for an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000.64 (the "Purchase Price");
and (b) warrants (the "Warrants") to purchase an aggregate of 863,236 shares of
Common Stock (the "Warrant Shares") with an exercise price of $5.00 per share in
the amounts set forth opposite their respective names on Exhibit A, and for an

      Section 1.4 Reservation of the Warrant Shares. The Company has authorized
and has reserved and covenants to continue to reserve a number of its authorized
but unissued shares of Common Stock equal to the Warrant Shares. The Shares, the

some combination thereof, referred to herein as the "Securities".

                         REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

      Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company

Section 2.1 so as to clearly qualify or otherwise clearly apply to such other
representations and warranties), dated as of the date hereof and certified by a
duly authorized officer of the Company (the "Disclosure Letter"), as follows:

conducted and (iii) is duly qualified or licensed and in good standing to do
business in each jurisdiction in which the nature of its business or the
ownership or leasing of its properties makes such qualification or licensing
necessary, other than in such jurisdictions where the failure to so qualify or
to be in good standing, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably
be expected to have a Material Adverse Change to the Company. For purposes of
this Agreement, "Subsidiary," when used with respect to any party, shall mean
any corporation or other organization, whether incorporated or unincorporated,
at least a majority of the securities or other interests of which having by
their terms ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the Board of Directors

Subsidiaries, or by such party and one or more of its Subsidiaries. For purposes
of this Agreement, the term "Material Adverse Change" when used in connection
with an entity, means any change, event, violation, inaccuracy, circumstance or
effect (any such item, an "Effect"), individually or when taken together with
all other Effects that have occurred prior to the date of determination of the
occurrence of the Material Adverse Change, that (i) is or is reasonably likely
to be materially adverse to the business, assets (including intangible assets),
capitalization, financial condition or results of operations of such entity
taken as a whole with its subsidiaries or (ii) will or is reasonably likely to
materially impede the ability of such entity to timely consummate the
transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in accordance with the
terms thereof and applicable legal requirements.

            (b) Charter Documents. The Company is not in violation of any of the
provisions of the Company Charter Documents and each Significant Subsidiary of
the Company is not in violation of its respective Subsidiary Charter Documents.
For purposes of this Agreement, the term: (i) "Company Charter Documents" shall
mean (A) a true and correct copy of the Certificate of Incorporation (including
any Certificate of Designations) and Bylaws of the Company, each as amended to
date; (ii) "Significant Subsidiary" shall have the meaning provided by Rule 1-02
of Regulation S-X of the Commission; (iii) "Subsidiary Charter Documents" shall
mean the certificate of incorporation and bylaws, or like organizational
documents of a Subsidiary; and (iv) "Commission" shall mean the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

            (c) Subsidiaries. Exhibit 21 to the Company's transition report on
Form 10-K/T for the period beginning January 1, 2004 and ending September 30,
2004 includes all the Subsidiaries of the Company which are Significant
Subsidiaries. All the outstanding shares of capital stock of, or other equity or
voting interests in, each such Significant Subsidiary have been validly issued
and are fully paid and nonassessable and are owned by the Company, a
wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Company, or the Company and another wholly-owned
Subsidiary of the Company, free and clear of all Liens, including any
restriction on the right to vote, sell or otherwise dispose of such capital
stock or other ownership interests, except for restrictions imposed by
applicable securities laws, except as would not reasonably be expected to have a
Material Adverse Change to the Company or a Material Adverse Change to such
Subsidiary. Other than the Subsidiaries of the Company, neither the Company nor
any of its Subsidiaries owns any capital stock of, or other equity or voting
interests of any nature in, or any interest convertible, exchangeable or
exercisable for, capital stock of, or other equity or voting interests of any
nature in, any other person. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "Lien"

interests of any kind or nature whatsoever.

            (d) Capital Stock. The authorized capital stock of the Company
