2002 MASTER AGREEMENT

dated as of December 1, 2005

BANK OF
AMERICA, N.A.                    . and AMERICAN PACIFIC CORPORATION
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a “Transaction”)
that are or will be governed by this 2002 Master Agreement, which includes the schedule (the
“Schedule”), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a “Confirmation”) exchanged
between the parties or otherwise effective for the purpose of confirming or evidencing those
Transactions. This 2002 Master Agreement and the Schedule are together referred to as this “Master
Agreement”.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:—

1. Interpretation

(a) Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and elsewhere in this Master Agreement 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, 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 condition specified in this Agreement to be a condition
precedent for the purpose of this Section 2(a)(iii).

(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
Settlement 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 of Payments. 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 which 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 and payment
obligation will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same
currency in respect of those Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in
respect of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or any Confirmation by
specifying that “Multiple Transaction Payment Netting” applies to the Transactions identified as
being subject to the election (in which case clause (ii) above will not apply to such
Transactions). If Multiple Transaction Payment Netting is applicable to Transactions, it will apply
to those Transactions with effect from the starting date specified in the Schedule or such
Confirmation, or, if a starting date is not specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation, the
starting date otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. 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, after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether
such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement)
or (II) a Change in Tax Law.

	 	(ii)	 	Liability. If:—

(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the practice of any
relevant governmental revenue authority, to make any deduction or withholding in
respect of which X would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under
Section 2(d)(i)(4);

(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and

(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly against X,

then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the liability resulting from
such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the amount of such liability (including any related
liability for interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if Y has
failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or
4(d)).

	3.	 	Representations

Each party makes the representations contained in Sections 3(a), 3(b), 3(c), 3(d), 3(e) and 3(f)
and, if specified in the Schedule as applying, 3(g) 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). If any “Additional Representation” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as
applying, the party or parties specified for such Additional Representation will make and, if
applicable, be deemed to repeat such Additional Representation at the time or times specified for
such Additional Representation.

of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in
equity or at law)).

circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this

this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party:—

	(a)	 	Furnish Specified Information. It will deliver to the other party or, in certain cases under
clause (iii) below, to such government or taxing authority as the other party reasonably
directs:-

reasonably requested in writing in order to allow such other party or its Credit Support
Provider to make a payment under this Agreement or any applicable Credit Support Document
without any deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax or with such deduction or
withholding at a reduced rate (so long as the completion, execution or submission of such
form or document would not materially prejudice the legal or commercial position of the
party in receipt of such demand), with any such form or document to be accurate and
completed in a manner reasonably satisfactory to such other party and to be executed and to
be delivered with any reasonably required certification,

in each case by the date specified in the Schedule or such Confirmation or, if none is specified,
as soon as reasonably practicable.

(b) Maintain Authorisations. It will use all reasonable efforts to maintain in full force and
effect all consents of any governmental or other authority that are required to be obtained by it
with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party and will use
all reasonable efforts to obtain any that may become necessary in the future.

(c) Comply With Laws. It will comply in all material respects with all applicable laws and orders
to which it may be subject if failure so to comply would materially impair its ability to perform
its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.

(d) Tax Agreement. It will give notice of any failure of a representation made by it under Section
3(f) to be accurate and true promptly upon learning of such failure.

it or in respect of its execution or performance of this Agreement by a jurisdiction in which it is
incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, or where an Office
through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located (“Stamp Tax Jurisdiction”),
and will indemnify the other party against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the other party or
in respect of the other party’s execution or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax
Jurisdiction which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the other party.

	5.	 	Events of Default and Termination Events

Default”) with respect to such party:—

(i) Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any payment under

(iii) Credit Support Default.

(3) the party or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or
rejects, in whole or in part, or challenges the validity of, such Credit Support

party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party:—

(1) defaults (other than by failing to make a delivery) under a Specified

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 under such agreements

(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, or reorganises, reincorporates or reconstitutes into or as, another
entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, 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; 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, a Force Majeure Event if the event is specified in clause (ii) below, a Tax Event if the
event is specified in clause (iii) below, a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in
clause (iv) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is
specified pursuant to clause (v) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified
pursuant to clause (vi) below:—

(i) Illegality. After giving effect to any applicable provision, disruption
fallback or remedy specified in, or pursuant to, the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in
this Agreement, due to an event or circumstance (other than any action taken by a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party) occurring after a Transaction is
entered into, it becomes unlawful under any applicable law (including without limitation the
laws of any country in which payment, delivery or compliance is required by either party or
any Credit Support Provider, as the case may be), on any day, or it would be unlawful if the
relevant payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day (in each case, other than
as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)):—

(1) for the Office through which such party (which will be the Affected
Party) makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to such Transaction to
perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery in
respect of such Transaction, 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) for such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party (which will be the
Affected Party) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment
or delivery which such party or Credit Support Provider has under any Credit Support
Document relating to such Transaction, to receive a payment or delivery under such
Credit Support Document or to comply with any other material provision of such
Credit Support Document;

(ii) Force Majeure Event. After giving effect to any applicable provision, disruption
fallback or remedy specified in, or pursuant to, the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in
this Agreement, by reason of force majeure or act of state occurring after a Transaction is
entered into, on any day:—

(1) the Office through which such party (which will be the Affected Party) makes and
receives payments or deliveries with respect to such Transaction is prevented from
performing any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery in
respect of such Transaction, from receiving a payment or delivery in respect of such
Transaction or from complying with any other material provision of this Agreement
relating to such Transaction (or would be so prevented if such payment, delivery or
compliance were required on that day), or it becomes impossible or

ISDA®
2002

8

 

impracticable for such Office so to perform, receive or comply (or it would be
impossible or impracticable for such Office so to perform, receive or comply if such
payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day); or

(2) such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party (which will be the
Affected Party) is prevented from performing any absolute or contingent obligation
to make a payment or delivery which such party or Credit Support Provider has under
any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction, from receiving a payment
or delivery under such Credit Support Document or from complying with any other
material provision of such Credit Support Document (or would be so prevented if such
payment, delivery or compliance were required on that day), or it becomes impossible
or impracticable for such party or Credit Support Provider so to perform, receive or
comply (or it would be impossible or impracticable for such party or Credit Support
Provider so to perform, receive or comply if such payment, delivery or compliance
were required on that day),

so long as the force majeure or act of state is beyond the control of such Office, such
party or such Credit Support Provider, as appropriate, and such Office, party or Credit
Support Provider could not, after using all reasonable efforts (which will not require such
party or Credit Support Provider to incur a loss, other than immaterial, incidental
expenses), overcome such prevention, impossibility or impracticability;

(iii) Tax Event. Due to (1) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of
competent jurisdiction, after a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such
action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (2) 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 Settlement Date (A) 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 9(h)) or (B) 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 9(h)) 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));

(iv) Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding
Scheduled Settlement 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 9(h)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld
for or on account of any 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 (or any substantial part of the assets
comprising the business conducted by it as of the date of this Master Agreement) to, or
reorganising, reincorporating or reconstituting into or as, another entity (which will be
the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute a Merger Without Assumption;

(v) Credit Event Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as
applying to the party, a Designated Event (as defined below) occurs with respect to such
party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such
party (in each case, “X”) and such Designated Event does not constitute a Merger Without
Assumption, and the creditworthiness of X or, if applicable, the successor, surviving or
transferee entity of X, after taking into account any applicable Credit Support Document, is
materially weaker immediately after the occurrence of such Designated Event than that of X
immediately prior to the occurrence of such Designated Event (and, in any such event, such
party or its successor, surviving or transferee entity, as appropriate, will be the Affected
Party). A “Designated Event” with respect to X means that:—

(1) X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
transfers all or substantially all its assets (or any substantial part of the assets
comprising the business conducted by X as of the

ISDA®
2002

9

 

date of this Master Agreement) to, or reorganises, reincorporates or reconstitutes
into or as, another entity;

(2) any person, related group of persons or entity acquires directly or indirectly
the beneficial ownership of (A) equity securities having the power to elect a
majority of the board of directors (or its equivalent) of X or (B) any other
ownership interest enabling it to exercise control of X; or

(3) X effects any substantial change in its capital structure by means of the
issuance, incurrence or guarantee of debt or the issuance of (A) preferred stock or
other securities convertible into or exchangeable for debt or preferred stock or (B)
in the case of entities other than corporations, any other form of ownership
interest; or

(vi) 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 will be as specified for such Additional Termination
Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c) Hierarchy of Events.

(i)
An event or circumstance that constitutes or gives rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event will not, for so long as that is the case, also constitute or give rise
to an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i), 5(a)(ii)(1) or 5(a)(iii)(1) insofar as such
event or circumstance relates to the failure to make any payment or delivery or a failure to
comply with any other material provision of this Agreement or a Credit Support Document, as
the case may be.

(ii) Except in circumstances contemplated by clause (i) above, if an event or circumstance
which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event also
constitutes an Event of Default or any other Termination Event, it will be treated as an
Event of Default or such other Termination Event, as the case may be, and will not
constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event.

(iii) If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to a Force
Majeure Event also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality, except as
described in clause (ii) above, and not a Force Majeure Event.

(d) Deferral of Payments and Deliveries During Waiting Period. If an Illegality or a Force Majeure
Event has occurred and is continuing with respect to a Transaction, each payment or delivery which
would otherwise be required to be made under that Transaction will be deferred to, and will not be
due until:—

(i) the first Local Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, the first Local
Delivery Day (or the first day that would have been a Local Business Day or Local Delivery
Day, as appropriate, but for the occurrence of the event or circumstance constituting or
giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event) following the end of any applicable
Waiting Period in respect of that Illegality or Force Majeure Event, as the case may be; or

(ii) if earlier, the date on which the event or circumstance constituting or giving rise to
that Illegality or Force Majeure Event ceases to exist or, if such date is not a Local
Business Day or, in the case of a delivery, a Local Delivery Day, the first following day
that is a Local Business Day or Local Delivery Day, as appropriate.

(e) Inability of Head or Home Office to Perform Obligations of Branch. If (i) an Illegality or a
Force Majeure Event occurs under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1) and the relevant Office is not
the Affected Party’s head or home office, (ii) Section 10(a) applies, (iii) the other party seeks
performance of the relevant obligation or

ISDA®
2002

compliance with the relevant provision by the Affected Party’s head or home office and (iv) the
Affected Party’s head or home office fails so to perform or comply due to the occurrence of an
event or circumstance which would, if that head or home office were the Office through which the
Affected Party makes and receives payments and deliveries with respect to the relevant Transaction,
constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event, and such failure would otherwise
constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i)or 5(a)(iii)(1) with respect to such party,
then, for so long as the relevant event or circumstance continues to exist with respect to both the
Office referred to in Section 5(b)(i)(1) or 5(b)(ii)(1), as the case may be, and the Affected
Party’s head or home office, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default under Section
5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1).

6. Early Termination; Close-Out Netting

(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 other than a Force Majeure 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 the
other party such other information about that Termination Event as the other party may
reasonably require. If a Force Majeure Event occurs, each party will, promptly upon becoming
aware of it, use all reasonable efforts to notify the other party, specifying the nature of
that Force Majeure Event, and will also give the other party such other information about
that Force Majeure Event as the other party may reasonably require.

(ii) Transfer to Avoid Termination Event. If 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, other than 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 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 of such
occurrence is given under Section 6(b)(i) to avoid that Termination Event.

ISDA®

(iv) Right to Terminate.

(1) If:—

(A) 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

(B) 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,

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 are two Affected
Parties, or the Non-affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an
Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may, if the
relevant Termination Event is then continuing, by not more than 20 days notice to
the other party, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective
as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.

(2) If at any time an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event has occurred and is then
continuing and any applicable Waiting Period has expired:—

(A) Subject to clause (B) below, either party may, by not more than 20 days
notice to the other party, designate (I) a day not earlier than the day on
which such notice becomes effective as an Early Termination Date in respect
of all Affected Transactions or (II) by specifying in that notice the
Affected Transactions in respect of which it is designating the relevant day
as an Early Termination Date, a day not earlier than two Local Business Days
following the day on which such notice becomes effective as an Early
Termination Date in respect of less than all Affected Transactions. Upon
receipt of a notice designating an Early Termination Date in respect of less
than all Affected Transactions, the other party may, by notice to the
designating party, if such notice is effective on or before the day so
designated, designate that same day as an Early Termination Date in respect
of any or all other Affected Transactions.

(B) An Affected Party (if the Illegality or Force Majeure Event relates to
performance by such party or any Credit Support Provider of such party of an
obligation to make any payment or delivery under, or to compliance with any
other material provision of, the relevant Credit Support Document) will only
have the right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section
6(b)(iv)(2)(A) as a result of an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2) or a
Force Majeure Event under Section 5(b)(ii)(2) following the prior
designation by the other party of an Early Termination Date, pursuant to
Section 6(b)(iv)(2)(A), in respect of less than all Affected Transactions.

(c) Effect of Designation.

(i)If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a)
or 6(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 9(h)(i) 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 will be
determined pursuant to Sections 6(e) and 9(h)(ii).

ISDA®

(d) Calculations; Payment Date.

(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 any quotations, market data or information from
internal sources used in making such calculations), (2) specifying (except where there are
two Affected Parties) any Early Termination Amount payable and (3) 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 or market data obtained in determining a
Close-out Amount, the records of the party obtaining such quotation or market data will be
conclusive evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation or market data.

(ii) Payment Date. An Early Termination Amount due in respect of any Early Termination Date
will, together with any amount of interest payable pursuant to Section 9(h)(ii)(2), be
payable (1) on the day on which 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
(2) on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount
payable is effective (or, if there are two Affected Parties, after the day on which the
statement provided pursuant to clause (i) above by the second party to provide such a
statement is effective) in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a
result of a Termination Event.

(e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the amount, if any, payable
in respect of that Early Termination Date (the “Early Termination Amount”) will be determined
pursuant to this Section 6(e) and will be subject to Section 6(f).

(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default, the
Early Termination Amount will be an amount equal to (1) the sum of (A) the Termination
Currency Equivalent of the Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive or
negative) determined by the Non-defaulting Party for each Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (2) the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If the Early Termination
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 the
Early Termination Amount to the Defaulting Party.

(ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a Termination
Event:—

(1) One Affected Party. Subject to clause (3) below, if there is one Affected Party,
the Early Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i),
except that references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will
be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and to the Non-affected Party,
respectively.

(2) Two Affected Parties. Subject to clause (3) below, if there are two Affected
Parties, each party will determine an amount equal to the Termination Currency
Equivalent of the sum of the Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts (whether positive
or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as
the case may be, and the Early Termination Amount will be an amount equal to (A) the
sum of (I) one-half of the difference between the higher amount so determined (by
party “X”) and the lower amount so determined (by party “Y”) and (II) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (B) the
Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y. If the Early
Termination Amount is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a negative
number, X will pay the absolute value of the Early Termination Amount to Y.

ISDA®
2002

(3) Mid-Market Events. If that Termination Event is an Illegality or a Force Majeure
Event, then the Early Termination Amount will be determined in accordance with
clause (1) or (2) above, as appropriate, except that, for the purpose of determining
a Close-out Amount or Close-out Amounts, the Determining Party will:—

(A) if obtaining quotations from one or more third parties (or from any of
the Determining Party’s Affiliates), ask each third party or Affiliate (I)
not to take account of the current creditworthiness of the Determining Party
or any existing Credit Support Document and (II) to provide mid-market
quotations; and

(B) in any other case, use mid-market values without regard to the
creditworthiness of the Determining Party.

(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination Date
occurs because Automatic Early Termination applies in respect of a party, the Early
Termination Amount will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate and
permitted by applicable 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) Adjustment for Illegality or Force Majeure Event. The failure by a party or any
Credit Support Provider of such party to pay, when due, any Early Termination Amount
will not constitute an Event of Default under Section 5(a)(i) or 5(a)(iii)(1) if
such failure is due to the occurrence of an event or circumstance which would, if it
occurred with respect to payment, delivery or compliance related to a Transaction,
constitute or give rise to an Illegality or a Force Majeure Event. Such amount will
(1) accrue interest and otherwise be treated as an Unpaid Amount owing to the other
party if subsequently an Early Termination Date results from an Event of Default, a
Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event in respect of which all
outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions and (2) otherwise accrue interest
in accordance with Section 9(h)(ii)(2).

(v) Pre-Estimate. The parties agree that 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 the termination of the Terminated
Transactions.

(f) Set-Off. Any Early Termination Amount payable to one party (the “Payee”) by the other party
(the “Payer”), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or where there is one Affected
Party in the case where either a Credit Event Upon Merger has occurred or any other Termination
Event in respect of which all outstanding Transactions are Affected Transactions has occurred,
will, at the option of the Non-defaulting Party or the Non-affected Party, as the case may be (“X”)
(and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, as the case may be), be
reduced by its set-off against any other amounts (“Other Amounts”) payable by the Payee to the
Payer (whether or not arising under this Agreement, matured or contingent and irrespective of the
currency, place of payment or place of booking of the obligation). To the extent that any Other
Amounts are so set off, those Other Amounts will be discharged promptly and in all respects. X will
give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Section 6(f).

For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Amounts (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, in good faith and using commercially reasonable
procedures, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.

ISDA®
2002

14

 

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) will be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This
Section 6(f) will be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, offset, combination
of accounts, lien, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which any
party is at any time otherwise entitled or subject (whether by operation of law, contract or
otherwise).

	7.	 	Transfer

Subject to Section 6(b)(ii) and to the extent permitted by applicable law, 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 Early Termination
Amount payable to it by a Defaulting Party, together with any amounts payable on or with respect to
that interest and any other rights associated with that interest pursuant to Sections 8, 9(h) and
11.

Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section 7 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 good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures
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 clause (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 purpose of
such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at which such party is able, acting in good faith
and using

ISDA®
2002

15

 

commercially reasonable procedures 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.

(c) Separate Indemnities. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the indemnities in this
Section 8 constitute separate and independent obligations from the other obligations in this
Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and independent causes of action, will apply
notwithstanding any indulgence granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be
affected by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums payable in
respect of this Agreement.

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

	9.	 	Miscellaneous

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the
parties with respect to its subject matter. Each of the parties acknowledges that in entering into
this Agreement it has not relied on any oral or written representation, warranty or other assurance
(except as provided for or referred to in this Agreement) and waives all rights and remedies which
might otherwise be available to it in respect thereof, except that nothing in this Agreement will
limit or exclude any liability of a party for fraud.

(b) Amendments. An amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will only be
effective if 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 by an exchange of 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 and by
electronic messaging system), 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 will be
entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts
(including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes, by an
exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system or by an exchange of
e-mails, 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, electronic message or e-mail 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.

(h) Interest and Compensation.

(i) Prior to Early Termination. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early
Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction:—

(1) Interest on Defaulted Payments. If a party defaults in the performance of any
payment obligation, it will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject
to Section 6(c), pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue
amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as the overdue amount, for
the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding)
the date of actual payment (and excluding any period in respect of which interest or
compensation in respect of the overdue amount is due pursuant to clause (3)(B) or
(C) below), at the Default Rate.

(2) Compensation for Defaulted Deliveries. If a party defaults in the performance of
any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will on demand (A) compensate
the other party to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere
in this Agreement and (B) unless otherwise provided in the relevant Confirmation or
elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject
to Section 6(c), pay to the other party interest (before as well as after judgment)
on an amount equal to the fair market value of that which was required to be
delivered in the same currency as that amount, for the period from (and including)
the originally scheduled date for delivery to (but excluding) the date of actual
delivery (and excluding any period in respect of which interest or compensation in
respect of that amount is due pursuant to clause (4) below), at the Default Rate.
The fair market value of any obligation referred to above will be determined as of
the originally scheduled date for delivery, in good faith and using commercially
reasonable procedures, by the party that was entitled to take delivery.

(3) Interest on Deferred Payments. If:—

(A) a party does not pay any amount that, but for Section 2(a)(iii), would
have been payable, it will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and
subject to Section 6(c) and clauses (B) and (C) below, pay interest (before
as well as after judgment) on that amount to the other party on demand
(after such amount becomes payable) in the same currency as that amount, for
the period from (and including) the date the amount would, but for Section
2(a)(iii), have been payable to (but excluding) the date the amount actually
becomes payable, at the Applicable Deferral Rate;

(B) a payment is deferred pursuant to Section 5(d), the party which would
otherwise have been required to make that payment will, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, subject to Section 6(c) and for so long as no
Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to that party
has occurred and is continuing, pay interest (before as well as after
judgment) on the amount of the deferred payment to the other party on demand
(after such amount becomes payable) in the same currency as the deferred
payment, for the period from (and including) the date the amount would, but
for Section 5(d), have been payable to (but excluding) the earlier of the
date the payment is no longer deferred pursuant to Section 5(d) and the date
during the deferral period upon which an Event of Default or Potential Event
of Default with respect to that party occurs, at the Applicable Deferral
Rate; or

(C) a party fails to make any payment due to the occurrence of an Illegality
or a Force Majeure Event (after giving effect to any deferral period
contemplated by clause (B) above), it will, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, subject to Section 6(c) and for so long as the event or
circumstance giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event

ISDA®
2002

17

 

continues and no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect
to that party has occurred and is continuing, pay interest (before as well
as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the
same currency as the overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the
date the party fails to make the payment due to the occurrence of the
relevant Illegality or Force Majeure Event (or, if later, the date the
payment is no longer deferred pursuant to Section 5(d)) to (but excluding)
the earlier of the date the event or circumstance giving rise to that
Illegality or Force Majeure Event ceases to exist and the date during the
period upon which an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with
respect to that party occurs (and excluding any period in respect of which
interest or compensation in respect of the overdue amount is due pursuant to
clause (B) above), at the Applicable Deferral Rate.

(4) Compensation for Deferred Deliveries. If:—

(A) a party does not perform any obligation that, but for Section 2(a)(iii),
would have been required to be settled by delivery;

(B) a delivery is deferred pursuant to Section 5(d); or

(C) a party fails to make a delivery due to the occurrence of an Illegality
or a Force Majeure Event at a time when any applicable Waiting Period has
expired,

the party required (or that would otherwise have been required) to make the delivery
will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c),
compensate and pay interest to the other party on demand (after, in the case of
clauses (A) and (B) above, such delivery is required) if and to the extent provided
for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

(ii) Early Termination. Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
Date in respect of a Transaction:—

(1) Unpaid Amounts. For the purpose of determining an Unpaid Amount in respect of
the relevant Transaction, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest
will accrue on the amount of any payment obligation or the amount equal to the fair
market value of any obligation required to be settled by delivery included in such
determination in the same currency as that amount, for the period from (and
including) the date the relevant obligation was (or would have been but for Section
2(a)(iii) or 5(d)) required to have been performed to (but excluding) the relevant
Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Close-out Rate.

(2) Interest on Early Termination Amounts. If an Early Termination Amount is due in
respect of such Early Termination Date, that amount will, to the extent permitted by
applicable law, be paid together with interest (before as well as after judgment) on
that amount in the Termination Currency, for the period from (and including) such
Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date the amount is paid, at the
Applicable Close-out Rate.

(iii) Interest Calculation. Any interest pursuant to this Section 9(h) will be calculated on
the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.

ISDA®

	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 and agrees with the
other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking or its jurisdiction of incorporation or
organisation, its obligations are the same in terms of recourse against it as if it had entered
into the Transaction through its head or home office, except that a party will not have recourse to
the head or home office of the other party in respect of any payment or delivery deferred pursuant
to Section 5(d) for so long as the payment or delivery is so deferred. This representation and
agreement will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which the parties enter into
a Transaction.

(b) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such party may, subject to
clause (c) below, enter into a Transaction through, book a Transaction in and make and receive
payments and deliveries with respect to a Transaction through any Office listed in respect of that
party in the Schedule (but not any other Office unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing).

(c) The Office through which a party enters into a Transaction will be the Office specified for
that party in the relevant Confirmation or as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, and, if
an Office for that party is not specified in the Confirmation or otherwise agreed by the parties in
writing, its head or home office. Unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, the Office through
which a party enters into a Transaction will also be the Office in which it books the Transaction
and the Office through which it makes and receives payments and deliveries with respect to the
Transaction. Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither party may change the Office in which it books the
Transaction or the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect
to a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.

	11.	 	Expenses

ISDA®

Section 2(a)(iii)) and (b) the option rights of the parties in respect of that Terminated

Any Close-out Amount will be determined by the Determining Party (or its agent), which will act in
good faith and use commercially reasonable procedures in order to produce a commercially reasonable
result. The Determining Party may determine a Close-out Amount for any group of Terminated
Transactions or any individual Terminated Transaction but, in the aggregate, for not less than all

Termination Date as would be commercially reasonable.

Unpaid Amounts in respect of a Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions and legal
fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to in Section 11 are to be excluded in all determinations

volatilities, spreads, correlations or other relevant market data in the relevant market; or

(including any of the Determining Party’s Affiliates) if that information is of the same type used
by the Determining Party in the regular course of its business for the valuation of similar
transactions.

The Determining Party will consider, taking into account the standards and procedures described in
this definition, quotations pursuant to clause (i) above or relevant market data pursuant to clause
(ii) above unless the Determining Party reasonably believes in good faith that such quotations or
relevant market data are not readily available or would produce a result that would not satisfy
those standards. When considering information described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, the
Determining Party may include costs of funding, to the extent costs of funding are not and would
not be a component of the other information being utilised. Third parties supplying quotations
pursuant to clause (i) above or market data pursuant to clause (ii) above may include, without
limitation, dealers in the relevant markets, end-users of the relevant product, information
vendors, brokers and other sources of market information.

Without duplication of amounts calculated based on information described in clause (i), (ii) or
(iii) above, or other relevant information, and when it is commercially reasonable to do so, the
Determining Party may in addition consider in calculating a Close-out Amount any loss or cost
incurred in connection with its terminating, liquidating or re-establishing any hedge related to a
Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions (or any gain resulting from any of
them).

Commercially reasonable procedures used in determining a Close-out Amount may include the
following:—

(1) application to relevant market data from third parties pursuant to clause (ii) above or
information from internal sources pursuant to clause (iii) above of pricing or other valuation
models that are, at the time of the determination of the Close-out Amount, used by the Determining
Party in the regular course of its business in pricing or valuing transactions between the
Determining Party and unrelated third parties that are similar to the Terminated Transaction or
group of Terminated Transactions; and
