Additional Terms
Together with this Transaction, Wells Fargo and Counterparty have entered into the following Transaction (the “Offsetting Transaction”) with the Trade Date of March 12, 2008: an Interest Rate Swap Transaction under a Swap Transaction Confirmation dated March 13, 2008, Wells Fargo ref. no. 2414448. Notwithstanding any other provision of the ISDA Master Agreement to the contrary, if any Separation Event occurs, then an Additional Termination Event shall be deemed to occur under the ISDA Master Agreement with respect to this Transaction as an Affected Transaction and for such purpose the Counterparty shall be deemed the Affected Party.
“Separation Event” means (i) any transfer of any Offsetting Transaction occurs by consent of Wells Fargo or Counterparty as required under the ISDA Master without the simultaneous transfer of this Transaction pursuant to such consent, (ii) any early termination of any Offsetting Transaction by mutual agreement of Wells Fargo and Counterparty without the simultaneous early termination of this Transaction, or (iii) any Offsetting Transaction becomes a Terminated Transaction under and as defined in the ISDA Master Agreement without this Transaction simultaneously becoming a Terminated Transaction thereunder.
Fixed Rate Adjustment
At Counterparty’s request, the early termination value of another Transaction terminated by mutual agreement of the parties has been rolled over into this Transaction as reflected in an adjustment to the Fixed Rate of this Transaction. Termination of the other Transaction is evidenced by a Confirmation dated November 04, 2010 between Wells Fargo and Counterparty (Wells Fargo reference number ###-###-####).
