FEF Contracts
“Foreign Exchange Forward Contract” or “FEF Contract” means a currency exchange transaction or agreement or any option with respect to any such transaction now existing or hereafter entered into between the Borrower and the Bank;
At the Borrower’s request, the Bank may agree to enter into FEF Contracts with the Borrower from time to time. The Borrower acknowledges that the Bank makes no formal commitment herein to enter into any FEF Contract and the Bank may, at any time and at all times, in its sole and absolute discretion, accept or reject any request by the Borrower to enter into a FEF Contract. If the Bank does enter into a FEF Contract with the Borrower, it will do so subject to the following:
a) | the Borrower shall promptly issue or countersign and return a confirmation or acknowledgement of the terms of each such FEF Contract as required by the Bank; |
b) | the Borrower shall, if required by the Bank, promptly enter into a Foreign Exchange and Options Master Agreement or such other agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Bank to govern the FEF Contract(s); |
c) | in the event of demand for payment under the Agreement of which this schedule forms a part, the Bank may terminate all or any FEF Contracts. If the agreement governing any FEF Contract does not contain provisions governing termination, any such termination shall be effected in accordance with customary market practice. The Bank’s determination of amounts owing under any terminated FEF Contract shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error. The Bank shall apply any amount owing by the Bank to the Borrower on termination of any FEF Contract against the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under the Agreement and any amount owing to the Bank by the Borrower on such termination shall be added to the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank under the Agreement and secured by the Security; |
d) | the Borrower shall pay all required fees in connection with any FEF Contracts and indemnify and hold the Bank harmless against any loss, cost or expense incurred by the Bank in relation to any FEF Contract; |
e) | any rights of the Bank herein in respect of any FEF Contract are in addition to and not in limitation of or substitution for any rights of the Bank under any agreement governing such FEF Contract. In the event that there is any inconsistency at any time between the terms hereof and any agreement governing such FEF Contract, the terms of such agreement shall prevail; and |
f) | in addition to any security which may be held at any time in respect of any FEF Contract, upon request by the Bank from time to time, the Borrower will deliver to the Bank such security as is acceptable to the Bank as continuing collateral security for the Borrower’s obligations to the Bank in respect of FEF Contracts. |
