            Closing Date

            The Underlying Securities are subject to redemption, in whole or in part, in accordance with the terms of the Underlying Securities and as described in Schedule II.  Any redemption in whole of the Underlying Securities will cause a redemption of all of the Units.  Any partial redemption of the Underlying Securities will cause a partial redemption of the Units.  In the event of a partial redemption of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee will randomly select Units to be redeemed in full from the proceeds of the partial redemption.  Any partial redemption of the underlying securities will result in an early termination payment being made or received by the Trust corresponding to the amount of Underlying Securities redeemed.  Any such termination payment will be paid before any redemption of the Units and will be added to or
subtracted from, pro rata, the redemption proceeds for the Units randomly selected to be redeemed (and not to any Units which remain outstanding).
 

	
            Swap Agreement:
 	
            The ISDA Master Agreement between the Trust and Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., dated January 6, 2006 and (i) the interest rate swap confirmation and schedule applicable to the Units with an effective date of January 6, 2006 and attached as Schedule III-A,  (ii) the forward rate swap confirmation and schedule applicable to the Units with an effective date of January 6, 2006 and attached as Schedule III-B, (iii) the forward rate swap confirmation and schedule applicable to the Units with an effective date of February 1, 2006 and attached as Schedule III-C, (iv) the forward rate swap confirmation and schedule applicable to the Units with an effective date of August 1, 2006 and attached as Schedule III-D and (v) the forward rate swap confirmation and schedule applicable to the Units with an effective date of February 1, 2007
and attached as Schedule III-E.
 

	
            Swap Counterparty:
 	
            Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc., which is Party A to the Swap Agreement attached as Schedules III-A through III-E, or any assignee permitted thereunder.  
 

	
            Swap Guaranty:
 	
            Morgan Stanley shall guarantee the obligations of the Swap Counterparty.
 

	
            Swap Notional Amount:
 	
            $20,000,000
 

	
            Swap Payment Dates:
 	
            The Swap Counterparty will make payments to the Trust semiannually on each of February 1st and August 1st, 
 

 

 

	
       
 	
      I-2
 	
       
 

 

 

 

 

	 	commencing February 1, 2006 and ending August 1, 2035, unless such day is not a Business Day, in which case payment will be made on the following Business Day. 
	
            Swap Payments:
 	
            The Swap Counterparty will pay to the Trust the amounts required under the Swap Agreement.  The Trust will pay to the Swap Counterparty amounts equal to 5.805% on the Swap Notional Amount on each Swap Payment Date.
 

	
            Distribution Dates:
 	
            Each February 1 and August 1, or the next succeeding Business Day if such day is not a Business Day, commencing February 1, 2006, and any other date upon which funds are available (including without limitation funds available due to a Trust Wind-Up Event) for distribution in accordance with the terms hereof.  
 
	 	If any payment with respect to the Swap Agreement is not received by the Trustee by 12 noon (New York City time) on a Distribution Date, the corresponding distribution on the Units will not occur until the next Business Day that the Trust is in receipt of proceeds of such payment prior to 12 noon, with no adjustment to the amount distributed or the Record Date.

	
            Interest Deferment:
 	
            Interest on the Units will be deferred if distributions with respect to the Underlying Securities are deferred.  The Underlying Security Issuer may, on one or more occasions, commence a deferral period and thereby defer interest payments for up to 10 consecutive semiannual payment dates on the Underlying Securities.  During a deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the Unit Principal Balance at the net rate applicable under the swap transactions for the relevant period.  However, no compounding will occur; i.e., deferred payments themselves will not themselves bear interest.  No extension period or period of deferral may extend beyond the stated maturity of the Underlying Securities.
 

	
            Distribution Date Priority:
 	
            On any Distribution Date as to which only payments of interest on the Underlying Securities have been received, the Trustee shall apply amounts available:
 
	 	FIRST, to the payment of the net amount payable by the Trust under the Swap Agreement, 
	 	SECOND, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid interest on the Units, and

 

 

 

	
       
 	
      I-3
 	
       
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

	 	THIRD, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid Expense Administrator’s Fee.
	 	This Distribution Date Priority supersedes the definition of “Available Funds” in the Standard Terms.
	
            Other Payment Priorities:
 	
            On any Distribution Date occurring in connection with a Trust Wind-Up Event because of (i) a termination of the Swap Agreement caused by an Event of Default by the Swap Counterparty under the Swap Agreement with respect to which the Swap Counterparty is the Defaulting Party, (ii) a termination of the Swap Agreement resulting solely from an Excess Expense Event or (iii) a Termination Event under the Swap Agreement with respect to which the Swap Counterparty is the sole Affected Party, the Trustee shall apply the amounts available:
 
	 	FIRST, to the payment of the claims of the Units equal to the Unit Principal Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest in full satisfaction of the claims of the Units, and
	 	SECOND, to the payment of all amounts payable by the Trust under the Swap Agreement,
	 	THIRD, remaining amounts, if any, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid Expense Administrator’s Fee.
	 	On any Distribution Date occurring in connection with a Trust Wind-Up Event other than as described above, including any Distribution Date occurring in connection with a redemption of the Underlying Securities or any Distribution Date occurring in connection with a partial redemption of the Underlying Securities, the Trustee shall apply the amounts available:
	 	FIRST, to the payments of all amounts payable by the Trust under the Swap Agreement,
	 	SECOND, to the Units equal to the Unit Principal Balance plus accrued and unpaid interest in full satisfaction of the claims of the Units, and
	 	THIRD, remaining amounts, if any, to the payment of any accrued and unpaid Expense Administrator’s Fee.
	 	These Other Payment Priorities supersede the definition of “Available Funds” in the Standard Terms.

 

 

 

	
       
 	
      I-4
 	
       
 

 

 

 

 

	
            Early Termination Date:
 	
            Upon receiving notice of any Event of Default by the Swap Counterparty or other circumstances giving rise to the right of the Trust to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of each swap transaction under the Swap Agreement, the Trustee is required to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of each relevant swap transaction under the Swap Agreement, provided, however, that if (i) there is an occurrence of an event described in Section 5(a)(iii) of the Swap Agreement that is not a failure to make a required payment under a Credit Support Document or (ii) a Downgrade Additional Termination Event, then, in accordance with Section 7.01 of the Standard Terms, the Trustee will give notice to the Unitholders of such event and that the Unitholders are entitled to instruct the Trustee as to whether the Trustee shall declare
an Early Termination Date, and shall not designate an Early Termination Date if instructed not to do so by more than 50% of the Unitholders by Unit Principal Balance.  For purposes of the foregoing instruction, any Units held by the Swap Counterparty and its affiliates shall be disregarded.
 

	
            Record Date:
 	
            The Record Date for each Distribution Date shall be the third Business Day prior to such Distribution Date, without adjustment for any change in the Distribution Date due to the receipt of funds for distribution after 12 noon, except that in respect of the final Distribution Date, when distributions will be made against presentation of the Units.

The Trustee Fee shall cease to accrue after termination of the Trust.  The “Trigger Amount” with respect to Extraordinary Trust Expenses for the Trust is $25,000 and the Maximum Reimbursable Amount is $100,000.  The Trustee Fee will be paid by the Expense Administrator.  Expenses will be reimbursed by the Expense Administrator in accordance with the Expense Administration Agreement.  
 

	
            Expense Administrator:
 	
            The Trustee will act as Expense Administrator on behalf of the Trust pursuant to an Expense Administration 
 

 

 

	
       
 	
      I-5
 	
       
 

 

 

 

 

	 	Agreement, dated as of the date of the Trust Agreement (the “Expense Administration Agreement”), between the Trustee as Expense Administrator (the “Expense Administrator”) and the Trust. 
	 	The Expense Administrator will receive a fee equal to $4,500 payable on each Distribution Date. The Expense Administrator Make-Whole Amount, if any, shall also be considered part of the Expense Administrator’s fee hereunder and under the Expense Administration Agreement. The Amounts specified in this paragraph are also referred to as the “Expense Administrator’s Fee”.
	 	The Expense Administrator will be responsible for paying the Trustee Fee and reimbursing certain other expenses of the Trust in accordance with the Expense Administration Agreement. 
	
            Listing:
 	
            The Depositor has applied to list the Units on the New York Stock Exchange.

            QIB Restriction:
 	
            Not Applicable.
 

	
            Termination:
 	
            If a Trust Wind-Up Event occurs, any Underlying Securities held by the Trust will be liquidated (by delivery to the Underlying Security Issuer in the event of a redemption or otherwise by sale thereof) and the Swap Agreement will be terminated.  
 

	
            Tender Offers:
 	
            The Trust will not participate in any tender offer for the Underlying Securities and the Trustee will not accept any instructions to the contrary from the Unitholders.
 

	
            Depositor Optional Exchange:
 	
            Depositor Optional Exchange applies to this Series of Units.
 
	 	Section 5.12(c)(i) of the Standard Terms shall be incorporated herein and amended by replacing the dollar figure “$25” with “$1,000”. 
	 	Section 5.12(c)(iv) of the Standard Terms shall be incorporated herein by adding the following to Section 5.12(c): “(iv) the Depositor determines that more than 100 holders of the Units, independent of the Trust and each other will remain after such exchange; unless the Depositor 

 

 

 

	
       
 	
      I-6
 	
       
 

 

 

 

 

 

	 	determines that such an exchange is otherwise consistent with the restrictions under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.”
	 	For the avoidance of doubt and in accordance with Section 5.12(b)(vii) of the Standard Terms, any termination payment for termination of the portion of the Swap Agreement corresponding to the portion of Underlying Securities to be exchanged shall be the obligation of the Depositor as exchanging Unitholder.
	
            Terms of Retained Interest:
 	
            Notwithstanding any other provision herein or in the Standard Terms to the contrary, the Depositor retains the right to receive any and all interest that accrues on the Underlying Securities prior to the Closing Date.  The Depositor will receive such accrued interest on the first Distribution Date (or redemption date if earlier) for the Units and such amount shall be paid from the interest payment made with respect to the Underlying Securities on the first Distribution Date.
 
	 	The amount of the Retained Interest is $497,250.
	 	If an Underlying Security Default occurs on or prior to the first Distribution Date and the Depositor does not receive such Retained Interest amount in connection with such Distribution Date, the Depositor will have a claim for such Retained Interest, and will share pro  rata with holders of the Units to the extent of such claim in the proceeds from the recovery on the Underlying Securities.

	
            Selling Agent:
 	
            Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated.
 

	
            Rating Agency Condition:
 	
            The definition of Rating Agencies Condition in the Standard Terms shall not apply and the following shall apply instead:
 
	 	“Rating Agency Condition”: With respect to any specified action or determination, means receipt of written confirmation by S&P (if the Units are rated by S&P, for so long as the Units are outstanding and rated by S&P), that such specified action or determination will not result in the reduction or withdrawal of their then-current ratings on the Units. Such confirmation may relate either to a specified transaction, amendment or transfer, or may be a confirmation with respect to any future transactions, amendments or transfers which comply with generally applicable conditions published by S&P.

 

 

 

	
       
 	
      I-7
 	
       
 

 

 

 

 

	
            Additional Terms:
 	
            Under each Forward Interest Rate Agreement, the Trust may elect at any time, without the consent of the Swap Counterparty, to assign the Trust’s rights, together or separately, to a substitute counterparty.  The Trustee will exercise such right, based on quotations obtained by the selling agent, if so directed by 66 2/3% of the Unitholders by outstanding Unit principal balance, provided that (i) S&P confirms that such assignment would not cause it to reduce, qualify or withdraw its rating of the Units and (ii) the Trustee receives an opinion of counsel that such assignment would not cause the trust to fail to satisfy the requirements of Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act.  The consideration received by the Trust in respect of such assignment of any Forward Interest Rate Agreement would be distributed to the
Unitholders pro rata on the next Distribution Date.
 
	 	Section 1.01 of the Standard Terms shall apply as modified below to incorporate the following definitions:

	 	Section 2.02 of the Standard Terms shall apply as modified below to delete the following sentence: 
	 	“It shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the Trust Agreement that the Swap Agreement be effective as of the date of the Trust Agreement.”
	 	Section 12.10 of the Standard Terms shall apply as modified below to include the Swap Counterparty:
	`	“Prior to the date that is one year and one day after all distributions in respect of the Units have been made, none of the Trustee, the Trust, the Depositor or the Swap Counterparty shall take any action, institute any proceeding, join in any action or proceeding or otherwise cause any action or proceeding against any of the others under the United States Bankruptcy Code or any other liquidations, insolvency, bankruptcy, moratorium, reorganization or similar law (“Insolvency Law”) applicable to any of them, now or hereafter in effect, or which would be reasonably likely to cause any of the others

            The Trustee will provide to the Depositor an appropriate compliance certificate in connection with the annual report of the Depositor and/or the Trust and, upon the reasonable request of the Depositor, at other times, with respect to the Trustee's compliance with its duties and obligations under this Trust Agreement.

MASTER AGREEMENT

 

dated as of     January 6, 2006         

 

Morgan Stanley Capital Services Inc.                                      and                             TILES Trust No 2005-1                                  

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.

 

 

 

 

	
       
	
    (ii)             Liability.  If:—

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

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

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

(e)                   Default Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

	
      3.
	
      Representations

Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at all times until the termination of this Agreement) that:—

	
      (a)
	
      Basic Representations.

(i)            Status. It is duly organised and validly existing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its organisation or incorporation and, if relevant under such laws, in good standing;

(ii)           Powers. It has the power to execute this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement to which it is a party, to deliver this Agreement and any other documentation relating to this Agreement that it is required by this Agreement to deliver and to perform its obligations 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 constitutional documents, any order or judgment of any court or other agency of government applicable to it or any of its assets or any contractual restriction binding on or affecting it or any of its assets;

(iv)          Consents. All governmental and other consents that are required to have been obtained by it with respect to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party have been obtained and are in full force and effect and all conditions of any such consents have been complied with; and

(v)           Obligations Binding. Its obligations under this Agreement and any Credit Support Document to which it is a party constitute its legal, valid and binding obligations, enforceable in accordance with their respective terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganisation, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)).

 

 

 

 

 (b)           Absence of Certain Events. No Event of Default or Potential Event of Default or, to its knowledge, Termination Event with respect to it has occurred and is continuing and no such event or circumstance would occur as a result of its entering into or performing its obligations under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party.

(c)           Absence of Litigation. There is not pending or, to its knowledge, threatened against it or any of its Affiliates any action, suit or proceeding at law or in equity or before any court, tribunal, governmental body, agency or official or any arbitrator that is likely to affect the legality, validity or enforceability against it of this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it is a party or its ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement or such Credit Support Document.

(d)           Accuracy of Specified Information. All applicable information that is furnished in writing by or on behalf of it to the other party and is identified for the purpose of this Section 3(d) in the Schedule is, as of the date of the information, true, accurate and complete in every material respect.

      Agreements

Each party agrees with the other that, so long as either party has or may have any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to which it is a party:—

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

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

(ii)           any other documents specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation; and

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

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

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

(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.

(e)           Payment of Stamp Tax. Subject to Section 11, it will pay any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon 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 in which a branch or office through which it is acting for the purpose of this Agreement is located (“Stamp Tax Jurisdiction”) and will indemnify the other party against any Stamp Tax levied or imposed upon the other party or in respect of the other party’s execution or performance of this Agreement by any such Stamp Tax Jurisdiction which is not also a Stamp Tax Jurisdiction with respect to the other party.

5.            Events of Default and Termination Events

(a)           Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any of the following events constitutes an event of default (an “Event of Default”) with respect to such party:—

(i)            Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make, when due, any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to the party;

(ii)           Breach of Agreement. Failure by the party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) or to give notice of a Termination Event or any agreement or obligation under Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d)) to be complied with or performed by the party in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the party;

(iii)           Credit Support Default.

(1)           Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed by it in accordance with any Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing after any applicable grace period has elapsed;

(2)           the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for the purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms) prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to which such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of the other party; or

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

(iv)          Misrepresentation. A representation (other than a representation under Section 3(e) or (f)) made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this Agreement or any Credit Support Document proves to have been incorrect or misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been made or repeated;

(v)           Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults under a Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an early termination of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or (3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified Transaction (or such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered to operate it or act on its behalf);

(vi)          Cross Default If “Cross Default” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar condition or event (however 

 

 

 

 

 described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or more agreements or instruments relating to Specified Indebtedness of any of them (individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared, due and payable under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have been due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold Amount under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or grace period);

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

(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4) institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar law affecting creditors’ rights, or a petition is presented for its winding-up or liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its winding-up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution passed for its winding-up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress, execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the foregoing acts; or

(viii)        Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger or transfer:—

(1)           the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or

(2)           the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.

(b)           Termination Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon Merger if the event is specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the 

 

 

 

 

 event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v) below:—

(i)            Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such party (which will be the Affected Party):—

(1)           to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to such Transaction; or

(2)           to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such Transaction;

(ii)           Tax Event. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date (1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B));

(iii)          Tax Event Upon Merger. The party (the “Burdened Party”) on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either (1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e)) or (2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in respect of which the other party is not required to pay an additional amount (other than by reason of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or (B)), in either case as a result of a party consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into, or transferring all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii);

(iv)          Credit Event Upon Merger. If “Credit Event Upon Merger” is specified in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party (“X”), any Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or

(v)           Additional Termination Event. If any “Additional Termination Event” is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such event (and, in such event, the Affected Party or Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).

(c)           Event of Default and Illegality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.

 

 

 

 

 6.              Early Termination

(a)           Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with respect to a party (the “Defaulting Party”) has occurred and is then continuing, the other party (the “Non-defaulting Party”) may, by not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions. If, however, “Automatic Early Termination” is specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(l), (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)(l) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.

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

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

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

(iv)          Right to Terminate. If:—

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

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

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

 

 

 

earlier than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all Affected Transactions.

	
      (c)
	
      Effect of Designation.

(i)            If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.

(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 Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Termination 

 

 

 

Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party less (B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

(4)           Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting Party’s Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.

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

	 	 	(1)           One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Party, the amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.
	 	 	(2)           Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:—

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

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

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

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

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

 

 

 

 

	
      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.

 

 

 

 

9.             Miscellaneous

(a)           Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.

(b)           Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an electronic messaging system.

(c)           Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any Transaction.

(d)           Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.

(e)           Counterparts and Confirmations.

(i)            This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed an original.

(ii)           The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a Confirmation.

(f)            No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege.

(g)           Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.

	
      10.
	
      Offices; Multibranch Parties

(a)           If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction is entered into.

(b)           Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior written consent of the other party.

(c)           If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.

	
      11.
	
      Expenses

A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other party for and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the enforcement 

 

 

and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to, costs of collection.

	
      12.

“Loss” means, with respect to this Agreement or one or more Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, and a party, the Termination Currency Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a negative number) in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be, including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its terminating, liquidating, obtaining or reestablishing any hedge or related trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made, except, so as to avoid duplication, if Section 6(e)(i)( 1) or (3) or 6(e)(ii)(2)(A) applies. Loss does not include a party’s legal fees and out-of-pocket expenses referred to under Section 11. A party will determine its Loss as of the relevant Early Termination Date, or, if that is not reasonably practicable, as of the earliest date thereafter as is reasonably practicable. A party may (but need not) determine its Loss by reference to quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in the relevant markets.

“Market Quotation” means, with respect to one or more Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any existing Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of such party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction (the “Replacement Transaction”) that would have the effect of preserving for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without 

 

 

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

“Potential Event of Default” means any event which, with the giving of notice or the lapse of time or both, would constitute an Event of Default.

“Reference Market-makers” means four leading dealers in the relevant market 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 such party applies generally at the time in deciding whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among such dealers having an office in the same city.

“Relevant Jurisdiction” means, with respect to a party, the jurisdictions (a) in which the party is incorporated, organised, managed and controlled or considered to have its seat, (b) where an Office through which the party is acting for purposes of this Agreement is located, (c) in which the party executes this Agreement and (d) in relation to any payment, from or through which such payment is made.

“Scheduled Payment Date” means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section 2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.

“Set-off” means set-off, offset, combination of accounts, right of retention or withholding or similar right or requirement to which the payer of an amount under Section 6 is entitled or subject (whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is exercised by, or imposed on, such payer.

“Settlement Amount” means, with respect to a party and any Early Termination Date, the sum of:—

(a) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined; and

(b) such party’s Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid Amounts) for each Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated 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.

“Stamp Tax” means any stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.

“Tax” means any present or future tax, levy, impost, duty, charge, assessment or fee of any nature (including interest, penalties and additions thereto) that is imposed by any government or other taxing authority in respect of any payment under this Agreement other than a stamp, registration, documentation or similar tax.

The foreign exchange agent will, if only one party is obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), be selected in good faith by that party and otherwise will be agreed by the parties.

“Termination Event” means an Illegality, a Tax Event or a Tax Event Upon Merger or, if specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event.

“Termination Rate” means a rate per annum equal to the arithmetic mean of the cost (without proof or evidence of any actual cost) to each party (as certified by such party) if it were to fund or of funding such amounts.

“Unpaid Amounts” owing to any party means, with respect to an Early Termination Date, the aggregate of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or that would have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on or prior to such Early Termination Date and which has not been so settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market 

 

 

 

 

value of that which was (or would have been) required to be delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would have been required to have been paid or performed to (but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Rate. Such amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values reasonably determined by both parties.

3.            Payments Suspensions. If any payment with respect to the Underlying Securities is not received by Party B by 12 noon (New York City time) on a Party B Payment Date, Party B will not be obligated to pay Party A until the next Business Day that Party B is in receipt of proceeds of such payment prior to 12 noon (without interest unless Paragraph 4 applies).

      Forward Rate:
	
      The excess, if any, of (i) 7.65% per annum over (ii) the Ten Year Constant Maturity Treasury index (the “Base Floating Rate”); provided, however, that if the rate in (ii) is a negative rate, the Forward Rate will be 7.65% per annum plus the lesser of (x) 0.35% per annum and (y) the absolute value of the amount (expressed as a rate per annum), if any, by which the rate for the relevant period is less than 0% per annum.

3.            Payments Suspensions. If any payment with respect to the Underlying Securities is not received by Party B by 12 noon (New York City time) on a Party B Payment Date, Party B will not be obligated to pay Party A until the next Business Day that Party B is in receipt of proceeds of such payment prior to 12 noon (without interest unless Paragraph 4 applies). In that circumstance, Party A will have the right to suspend is payments (without interest unless Paragraph 4 applies) until it receives the amounts due to it. If there is a Security Default on the Underlying Securities, then all obligations of both parties hereunder shall be reinstated subject to the other provisions of this Agreement. 

4.            Deferral of Payments. If the Underlying Security Issuer has deferred payments of interest on the Underlying Securities, Party A’s and Party B’s payments will also be deferred. During a deferral period with respect to the Underlying Securities, payments by each party will continue to accrue at the applicable Fixed Rate (in the case of Party B) or Floating Rate Option plus Spread (in the case of Party A) for the relevant period. However, in the case of Party A no compounding will occur; i.e., deferred payments by Party A will not bear interest. At the conclusion of a deferral period, (i) Party A will pay to Party B its deferred payments, and (ii) Party B will pay to Party A its deferred payments plus any interest received by Party B under the Underlying Securities in respect of the deferred payments on the Underlying Securities that correspond to Party B’s deferred payments.

5.             Additional Definitions. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein, in the 2000 Definitions or in the Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Trust Agreement for Party B. 

6.             Assignment. Notwithstanding Section 7 of the Agreement, Party B may elect at any time, without the consent of Party A, to assign its rights under this Transaction to a substitute counterparty selected by the Selling Agent upon the request of the Trustee acting at the direction of the Unitholders, provided that (i) S&P confirms that such assignment would not cause it to reduce, qualify or withdraw its rating of the Units and (ii) the Trustee receives an opinion of counsel that such assignment would not cause the Trust to fail to satisfy the requirements of Rule 3a-7 under the Investment Company Act..

                      ALEXANDER'S, INC. OMNIBUS STOCK PLAN
                       STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT

          STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT AGREEMENT made as of January 10, 2006 between
Alexander's, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with offices at 210 Route 4 East,
Paramus, New Jersey 07652 (referred to below as the "Company"), and Michael D.
Fascitelli (referred to below as "Employee").

          WHEREAS, in accordance with its Omnibus Stock Plan (referred to below
as the "Plan"), the Company, in connection with the employment of the Employee
by the Company or one of its subsidiaries, grants the Employee the opportunity
to receive a payment corresponding to the appreciation over time of the value of
350,000 Shares of the Company, in accordance with the Plan and as additional
incentive for the Employee to promote the progress of the business of the
Company and its subsidiaries. The term "subsidiary" shall have the same meaning
as the term "subsidiary corporation," as defined in Section 424(f) of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").

          NOW, THEREFORE, the Company and the Employee agree with each other as
follows:

          1. GRANT OF STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHT: On the terms and conditions set
forth below and subject to adjustment as provided in Section 7 hereof, the
Company hereby grants to the Employee the right (the "SAR") to receive a payment
equal to all or any part of the appreciation of 350,000 Shares over the price
per Share of $243.825.

          2. TERM OF SAR: The term of the SAR shall be the time period indicated
below from the date of this Agreement subject to earlier termination or
cancellation as provided in this Agreement.

              (Check the applicable box to indicate term of SAR)
                     [   ]  Ten (10) years from _______
                     [   ]  Five (5) years from _______
                     [ X ]  March 14, 2007

          Except as otherwise in Section 6 hereof, the SAR shall not be
exercisable unless the Employee shall, at the time of exercise, be an employee
of the Company or Vornado Realty Trust.

<PAGE>

          3. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF SAR: The SAR is not transferable by the
Employee otherwise than to a designated beneficiary upon death or by will or the
laws of descent and distribution, and exercisable during the Employee's lifetime
only by him; provided, however, the Employee may, subject to such terms and
conditions specified by the Omnibus Stock Plan Committee of the Board of
Directors of the Company (the "Committee"), transfer the SAR to an Immediate
Family Member (or to trusts, partnerships, or limited liability companies
established exclusively for such family members); provided, further, that there
is no consideration for such transfer. Upon such transfer to an Immediate Family
Member, the Employee must within five business days of such transfer send
notification to the Company, Attention: Chief Financial Officer. For purposes of
the foregoing, "Immediate Family Member" shall mean, except as otherwise
determined by the Committee, the Employee's children, stepchildren,
grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, spouse, siblings (including
half-brother and sisters), in-laws and persons related by reason of legal
adoption. Any attempt of assignment, transfer, pledge, hypothecation or other
disposition of the SAR contrary to the provisions of the Plan or this Agreement,
and any levy of any attachment or similar process upon the SAR, shall be null
and void and without effect, and upon the happening of any such event, the SAR
shall terminate and become of no further effect.

          4. EXERCISE OF SAR: Unless terminated pursuant to Section 6 hereof,
the SAR may be exercised in whole or in part at any time, but not prior to July
10, 2006.

          The right to exercise shall be cumulative. If the full number of
Shares with respect to which the SAR is available for exercise in a period shall
not be exercised, the balance may be exercised at any time or from time to time
thereafter, but prior to the termination of the SAR. The SAR shall not, however,
be exercisable after the expiration thereof as provided in Section 2 hereof; and
except as provided in Section 6 hereof, the SAR shall not be exercisable unless
the Employee is an employee of the Company or Vornado Realty Trust at the time
of exercise.

          5. METHOD OF EXERCISE: The SAR shall be exercisable by written notice
specifying the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is being exercised
on or after July 10, 2006. Upon delivery, by hand or by registered mail directed
to the Company at its offices (currently at 210 Route 4 East, Paramus, New
Jersey 07652), the Company shall deliver a cash payment to the Employee equal to
the result of multiplying (a) the excess of the fair market value (as determined
by the Committee) of a Share on the date of exercise of the SAR over $243.825,
by (b) the number of Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercised. Such
cash payment, reduced by any taxes which the Company is required to withhold by
law, shall be made as soon as practicable after the SAR is exercised. The SAR
shall be deemed to have been exercised with respect to any particular Shares,
if, and only if, the provisions of this Agreement shall have been complied with,
in which event the SAR shall be deemed to have been exercised on the date on
which the notice described above shall have been delivered to the Company.

                                        2

<PAGE>

          6. TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT: Any SARs held by the Employee upon
termination of employment shall remain exercisable as follows:

          (I) If the Employee's termination of employment is due to death, the
          SAR shall become immediately exercisable in full and shall be
          exercisable by the Employee's designated beneficiary, or, if none, the
          person(s) to whom such Employee's rights under the SAR are transferred
          by will or the laws of descent and distribution for one (1) year
          following such termination of employment (but in no event beyond the
          term of the SAR), and shall thereafter terminate;

          (II) If the Employee's termination of employment is due to disability
          (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code), the SAR shall become
          immediately exercisable in full and shall be exercisable for one (1)
          year following such termination of employment (but in no event beyond
          the term of the SAR), and shall thereafter terminate;

          (III) If the Employee's termination of employment is due to retirement
          on or after the attainment of age 65, the SAR shall become immediately
          exercisable in full and shall be exercisable for one (1) year
          following such termination of employment (but in no event beyond the
          term of the SAR), and shall thereafter terminate;

          (IV) If the Employee's termination of employment is for cause, all
          Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercisable as of the date of
          termination shall be exercisable for a period of one (1) month
          following such termination of employment (but in no event beyond the
          term of the SAR) and shall thereafter terminate; and

          (V) If the Employee's termination of employment is for any other
          reason, all Shares with respect to which the SAR is exercisable as of
          the date of termination shall be exercisable for one (1) year
          following such termination of employment (but in no event beyond the
          term of the SAR), and shall thereafter terminate. An Employee's status
          as an employee shall not be considered terminated in the case of a
          leave of absence agreed to in writing by the Company (including, but
          not limited to, military and sick leave); provided, that, such leave
          is for a period of not more than one (1) year or re-employment upon
          expiration of such leave is guaranteed by contract or statute.

For the purposes hereof, "cause" means the Employee's:

          (a) conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, a felony;

          (b) willful and continued failure to use reasonable best efforts to
     substantially perform his duties hereunder (other than such failure
     resulting from Employee's incapacity due to physical or mental illness or
     subsequent to the issuance of a notice of termination of employment by
     Employee) after demand for substantial performance is

                                        3

<PAGE>

     delivered by the Company in writing that specifically identifies the manner
     in which the Company believes Employee has not used reasonable best efforts
     to substantially perform his duties; or

          (c) willful misconduct (including, but not limited to, a willful
     breach of the provisions of any confidentiality agreement with the Company)
     that is materially economically injurious to the Company or to any entity
     in control of, controlled by or under common control with the Company
     ("Affiliates").

For purposes of this definition, no act, or failure to act, by Employee shall be
considered "willful" unless committed in bad faith and without a reasonable
belief that the act or omission was in the best interests of the Company or any
Affiliates thereof. Cause shall not exist under paragraph (b) or (c) above
unless and until the Company has delivered to Employee a copy of a resolution
duly adopted by a majority of the Board (excluding Employee for purposes of
determining such majority) at a meeting of the Board called and held for such
purpose (after reasonable (but in no event less than 30 days) notice to Employee
and an opportunity for Employee, together with his counsel, to be heard before
the Board), finding that in the good faith opinion of the Board, Employee was
guilty of the conduct set forth in paragraph (b) or (c) and specifying the
particulars thereof in detail. This definition shall not prevent Employee from
challenging in any court of competent jurisdiction the Board's determination
that cause exists or that Employee has failed to cure any act (or failure to
act) that purportedly formed the basis for the Board's determination. In the
event of any conflict between this definition of cause and that contained in any
employment agreement between the Employee and the Company or any of its
Affiliates, the definition of cause contained in any such employment agreement
will govern and be definitive for the purposes hereof.

          7. RECLASSIFICATION, CONSOLIDATION OR MERGER: In the event of any
change in the outstanding Shares by reason of any share dividend or split,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, spin-off combination or exchange of
Shares or other corporate change, or any distributions to common stockholders
other than regular cash dividends, the Committee shall make such substitution or
adjustment, if any, as it deems to be equitable, as to the number or kind of
Shares with respect to which the SAR is available for exercise. If the Company
is reorganized or consolidated or merged with another corporation, the Employee
shall be entitled to receive a stock appreciation right covering shares of such
reorganized, consolidated or merged company in the same proportion, at an
equivalent price, and subject to the same conditions. For purposes of the
preceding sentence, the excess of the aggregate fair market value of the shares
subject to the stock appreciation right immediately after the reorganization,
consolidation or merger over the aggregate stock appreciation right price of
such shares shall not be more than the excess of the aggregate fair market value
of all Shares subject to the SAR immediately before the reorganization,
consolidation or merger over the aggregate SAR price of the Shares, and the new
stock appreciation right or assumption of the old SAR shall not give the
Employee additional benefits which he did not have under the old SAR.

                                        4

<PAGE>

          8. BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT: This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of
and be binding upon each successor of the Company. All obligations imposed upon
the Employee and all rights granted to the Company under this Agreement shall be
binding upon the Employee's heirs, legal representatives and successors. The
Agreement shall be the sole and exclusive source of any and all rights which the
Employee, his heirs, legal representatives or successors may have in respect to
the Plan or any SAR or Shares granted or issued thereunder whether to himself or
any other person.
