1. ISDA Definitions. Reference is hereby made to the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the “Definitions”), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., which are hereby incorporated by reference herein. Any terms used and not otherwise defined herein which are contained in the Definitions shall have the meaning set forth therein.

3. Setoff. Any amount (the “Early Termination Amount”) payable to one party (the Payee) by the other party (the Payer) under Section 6(e), in circumstances where there is a Defaulting Party or one Affected Party in the case where a

 

 


 

Termination Event under Section 5(b)(iv) or (v) has occurred, will, at the option of the party (“X”) other than the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party (and without prior notice to the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party), be reduced by its set-off against any amount(s) (the “Other Agreement Amount”) payable (whether at such time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by the Payee to the Payer (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation) under any other agreement(s) between the Payee and the Payer or instrument(s) or undertaking(s) issued or executed by one party to, or in favor of, the other party (and the Other Agreement Amount will be discharged promptly and in all respects to the extent it is so set-off). X will give notice to the other party of any set-off effected under this Part V 3.
For this purpose, either the Early Termination Amount or the Other Agreement Amount (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by X into the currency in which the other is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such party would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.
If an obligation is unascertained, X may in good faith estimate that obligation and set-off in respect of the estimate, subject to the relevant party accounting to the other when the obligation is ascertained.
Nothing in this Part V 3 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This Part V 3 shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
4. Calculation Agent. The Calculation Agent will be Party A unless otherwise specified in a Confirmation in relation to the relevant Transaction.
5. Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Party B and Party A hereby irrevocably waive any and all right to trial by jury with respect to any legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any Transaction contemplated hereby.
6. Application of Events of Default for Fully Paid Transactions. Notwithstanding the terms of Sections 5(a) of this Agreement, none of the events set forth in Section 5(a) shall constitute an Event of Default with respect to Party B if and for as long as there shall be no outstanding obligations, whether absolute or contingent, of Party B under Section 2(a)(i) of this Agreement.
7. Consent to Recording. The parties agree that each party or its respective agent(s) may electronically record all telephonic conversations between them and that any such recordings may be submitted in evidence to any court or in any Proceedings for the purpose of establishing any matters pertinent to any Transaction.

(h) Relationship Between Parties.
(i) Non-Reliance. It is acting for its own account, and it has made its own independent decisions to enter into that Transaction and as to whether that Transaction is appropriate or proper for it based upon its own judgment and upon advice from such advisors as it has deemed necessary. It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of the other party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into that Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of a Transaction shall not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into that Transaction. It has not received from the other party any assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of the Transaction.
(ii) Evaluation and Understanding. It is capable of evaluation and understanding (on its own behalf or through independent professional advice), and understands and accepts, the terms, conditions and risks of that Transaction. It is also capable of assuming and assumes the financial and other risks of the Transaction.
(iii) Status of the Parties. The other party is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for it in respect of that Transaction.
(i) Principal. It is entering into this Agreement and such other documentation as principal, and not as agent or in any other capacity, fiduciary or otherwise.
9. Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any party or circumstance, shall be held to be 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 the Agreement had been executed with the 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.
The parties shall endeavor to engage in good faith negotiations to replace any invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition with a valid or enforceable term, provision or covenant or condition, the economic effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the invalid or unenforceable term, provision, covenant or condition.
10. Confidentiality. Each party hereby agrees that it shall not disclose to any third parties any proprietary financial information regarding the other party without the prior written consent of the other party other than (i) information that is or becomes a matter of general public knowledge other than as a result of disclosure by the other party, (ii) any information that is already in the other party’s possession provided that the source of such information was not to the knowledge of the disclosing party obligated to keep such information confidential and (iii) any information that is legally required to be disclosed or is otherwise subject to legal, judicial, regulatory or self-regulatory requests for information or documents.

 

 


 

11. Transfer: Section 7 of the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following in the third line between the word “party” and the comma: “which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, provided further that such proposed transferee is an entity with which Party A has then existing credit lines.”
12. Optional Termination. Party B has the option to terminate the Interest Rate Swap Transaction (as defined in any Confirmation between Party A and Party B), in whole, or in part, on any Business Day after the Trade Date (as defined in such Confirmation between Party A and Party B) by providing (i) at least three (3) Business Days’ prior written notice (including by telex or facsimile, provided that receipt of such notice is given by Party A to Party B) to Party A of its election to terminate this Transaction and (ii) evidence reasonably satisfactory to Party A that any and all amounts, if any, owed to Party A in connection with such early termination shall be paid on the due date thereof (the effective date of such optional early termination, hereinafter the “Optional Early Termination Date”); provided, however, that the option to designate an Optional Early Termination Date under this Paragraph shall not prevent either party from designating an Early Termination Date in accordance with the provisions of Section 6 of this Agreement (as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Termination Event), to be effective on any date prior to the Optional Early Termination Date designated hereunder. Such termination shall constitute an Additional Termination Event under the Agreement with Party B as the sole Affected Party, and this Transaction or the terminated portion thereof, as applicable, as the sole Affected Transaction. In the event of such termination, the Calculation Agent shall determine the amount owed in connection with such termination using its commercially reasonable judgment. If Party B disputes such calculation, the Calculation Agent shall determine such amount in accordance with Section 6e of this Agreement as if an Early Termination Date has occurred as of the Optional Early Termination Date.
