entity is able to comply with the requirement of Item 1115(b) of Reg AB. If permitted by
Regulation AB, any required Reg AB Financial Disclosure may be provided by incorporation by
reference from reports filed pursuant to the Exchange Act.
11) ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5 and 6 of the ISDA Form Master
Agreement, if Counterparty has satisfied its payment obligations under Section 2(a)(i) of the
ISDA Form Master Agreement, and shall, at the time, have no future payment or delivery
obligation, whether absolute or contingent, then unless BNY is required pursuant to appropriate
proceedings to return to Counterparty or otherwise returns to Counterparty upon demand of
Counterparty any portion of such payment, (a) the occurrence of an event described in Section
5(a) of the ISDA Form Master Agreement with respect to Counterparty shall not constitute an Event
of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to Counterparty as the Defaulting Party and
