(v)

Exposure. The parties agree that in the event of a Ratings Event relating to an action taken by S&P, the Valuation Agent shall internally verify its calculation of the Secured Party’s Exposure by reporting its calculation thereof to S&P on a weekly basis. In addition, in the case where the long term unsubordinated and unsecured debt of Party A ceases to be rated at least BBB+ by S&P, the Valuation Agent shall externally verify its calculation of the Secured Party’s Exposure by seeking two quotations from Reference Market-makers at the end of each month (such quotations being for amounts payable as described in the definition of “Market Quotations” in the Agreement where the date on which such quotations are sought is the Early Termination Date and the Transaction entered into pursuant to the Agreement is the only Termination Transaction). In the case where external verification of the Exposure calculation is required, the Valuation Agent must (i) obtain at least two such quotations (ii) may not obtain the quotations referred to above from the same Reference Market-maker in excess of four times during any 12 month period. Furthermore, the Exposure valuations should reflect the higher of two bids from Reference Market-makers that would be eligible and willing to provide the market quotation in the absence of the current provider and (iii) must submit to S&P the two bids provided by external parties. The collateral requirement should be based on the greater of the internal and external verifications. In the event the verification procedures set forth above indicate that there is a deficiency in the amount of Eligible Collateral that has been posted to the Secured Party, the Pledgor shall post the amount of Eligible Collateral necessary to cure such deficiency to the Secured Party within three Local Business Days.

(vi)

Expenses. Notwithstanding Paragraph 10, the Pledgor will be responsible for, and will reimburse the Secured Party for, all transfer and other taxes and other costs involved in the transfer of Eligible Collateral.

(vii)

Additional Definitions. As used in this Annex:

“Ratings Event” means, the occurrence of an event described in either Part (5)(r)(i) or Part 5(r)(ii) of the Agreement where Party A has elected, in the case of Part 5(r)(i) and, as required pursuant to Part 5(r)(ii) to collateralize its Modified Exposure.

“Modified Exposure” means, for any Valuation Date, an amount equal to the greater of (a) the sum of Secured Party’s Exposure for that Valuation Date plus the Notional Volatility Buffer and (b) zero.

“Exposure” means, as of any date of determination, the amount, if any, that would be payable to Party B by Party A under this Agreement if an Early Termination Date were to occur as of such date of determination as a result of a Termination Event, Party A were the sole Affected Party, all Transactions were terminated in connection with such Early Termination Date and (solely for purposes of determining Exposure) the amount of such payment were calculated using Market Quotation.

“Notional Volatility Buffer” as determined by the Valuation Agent for any date, means the outstanding Notional Amount of the Transaction on such date multiplied by the relevant percentage for such date as set out in the table below on such date.


Party A S&P Rating on such date	Less than or equal to 5 years to Termination Date of the Transaction		Less than or equal to 10 years but greater than 5 years to Termination Date of the Transaction
S-T Rating of A-2	3.25	%	4.00	%
S-T Rating of A-3	4.00	%	5.00	%
L-T Rating of BB+ or lower	4.50	%	5.75	%
