or implied, contained herein (including, for the avoidance of doubt, any liability, individually or

delay in receiving amounts held in the account held by the Supplemental Interest Trust created pursuant

and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off.".

existence of any event or condition that constitutes (or that with the giving of notice or passage of
time or both would constitute) an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to such party,
promptly to give the other party notice of such event or condition (or, in lieu of giving notice of such
event or condition in the case of an event or condition that with the giving of notice or passage of
time or both would constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event with respect to the party, to
cause such event or condition to cease to exist before becoming an Event of Default or Termination
Event); provided that failure to provide notice of such event or condition pursuant to this Part 5(k)
shall not constitute an Event of Default or a Termination Event.

assets of Party B; (ii) the selection of any person performing services for or acting on behalf of Party

entitled to take any further steps against Party B to recover any sums due but still unpaid hereunder or
thereunder, all claims in respect of which shall be extinguished and shall not revive nor be
reinstated. It is understood that the foregoing provisions shall not (i) prevent recourse against Party

discharge of any obligation of Party B arising under this Agreement until the proceeds have been applied

thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable (in whole or
in part) for any reason, the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and conditions hereof shall continue
in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the illegal, invalid or
unenforceable portion eliminated, so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter of this Agreement and
the deletion of such portion of this Agreement will not substantially impair the respective benefits or
expectations of the parties to this Agreement.
(o) Escrow Payments. If (whether by reason of the time difference between the cities in which payments or
deliveries are to be made or otherwise) it is not possible for simultaneous payments or deliveries to
be made on any date on which both parties are required to make payments or deliveries hereunder, either
party may at its option and in its sole discretion notify the other party (Section 2(b) of this
Agreement notwithstanding) that payments or deliveries on that date are to be made in escrow (such party
being the "Appointing Party"). In this case, deposit of the payment or delivery due earlier on that
date will be made by 2.00 pm (local time at the place for the earlier payment or delivery) on that date
with an escrow agent selected by the Appointing Party, accompanied by irrevocable payment or delivery
instructions (i) to release the deposited payment or delivery to the intended recipient upon receipt by
the escrow agent of the required deposit of the corresponding payment or delivery from the other party
on the same date accompanied by irrevocable payment or delivery instructions to the same effect, or (ii)
if the required deposit of the corresponding payment or delivery is not made on that same date, to
return the payment or delivery deposited to the party that paid or delivered it into escrow. The
Appointing Party will pay all costs of the escrow arrangements. The Appointing Party will bear the risk
of any failure of the entity it nominates to be its escrow agent to fully and promptly perform the
obligations of such escrow agent as contemplated in this Part 5(s) Any amounts payable or deliveries to
be made under this Agreement by the Appointing Party which are not received by the other party hereto on
the due date will remain due and payable or to be made by the Appointing Party as of such date (assuming
timely payment or delivery on the due date of amounts payable or deliveries to be made by the other
party hereto). Any amounts or deliveries due from the other party, which have been paid or delivered to
the escrow agent in accordance with this Part 5(s) (and any instructions in connection therewith given
to the other party by the Appointing Party) shall be treated as having been paid or delivered by such
other party and received by the Appointing Party as of the date on which they were paid or delivered to
the Appointing Party's escrow agent. The Appointing Party shall cause the escrow arrangements to
provide that the other party shall be entitled to interest on any payment due to be deposited first for
each day in the period of its deposit at the rate offered by the escrow agent for that day for overnight
deposits in the relevant currency in the office where it holds that deposited payment (at 11:00 a.m.
local time on that day) if that payment is not released by to the other party 5:00 p.m. local time on
the date it is deposited for any reason other than the intended recipient's failure to make the escrow
deposit it is required to make under this paragraph in a timely fashion.
(p) Safe Harbors. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that:
(i) This Agreement, including any Credit Support Document, is a "master netting agreement" as

(iv) All transfers of cash, securities or other property under or in connection with this Agreement,
any Credit Support Document or any Transaction hereunder are "margin payments", "settlement
payments" and/or "transfers" under Sections 546(e), (f), (g) or (j), and under Section 548(d)(2)
of the Code; and
(v) Each obligation under this Agreement, any Credit Support Document or any Transaction hereunder
is an obligation to make a "margin payment", "settlement payment" and/or "payment" within the
meaning of Sections 362, 560 and 561 of the Code.
(q) Limitation on Events of Default. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of this Agreement, if at
any time and so long as Party B has satisfied in full all its payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i)
of this Agreement and has at the time no future payment obligations, whether absolute or contingent,
under such Section, then unless Party A is required pursuant to appropriate proceedings to return to
Party B or otherwise returns to Party B upon demand of Party B any portion of such payment, the
occurrence of an event described in Section 5(a)(i) of this Agreement with respect to Party B shall not
constitute an Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to Party B as Defaulting
Party.

of 1933, as amended, and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")

under this Agreement and any other derivative contracts between Party A or its group of
affiliated entities, if applicable, and Party B, as calculated from time to time in accordance
with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.
(ii) It shall be a swap disclosure event ("Swap Disclosure Event") if, on any Business Day during the
term of the Transaction hereunder, the Certificate Administrator requests (in writing) from
Party A the applicable financial information described in Item 1115 of Regulation AB (such
request to be based on a reasonable determination by the Certificate Administrator, in good
faith, that such information is required under Regulation AB as a result of the aggregate
"significance percentage" exceeding 10%) (the "Swap Financial Disclosure").
(iii) Upon the occurrence of a Swap Disclosure Event, Party A, at its own expense, shall (a) provide
to the Certificate Administrator the Swap Financial Disclosure, (b) secure another entity to
replace Party A as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement and
which entity is able to comply with the financial information disclosure requirements of Item
1115 of Regulation AB or (c) obtain a guaranty of the Party A's obligations under this Agreement
from an affiliate of the Party A that is able to comply with the financial information
disclosure requirements of Item 1115 of Regulation AB, such that disclosure provided in respect
of the affiliate will satisfy any disclosure requirements applicable with respect to the
Counterparty, and cause such affiliate to provide Swap Financial Disclosure. If permitted by
Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by
reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
