whatsoever as to the expected or projected profitability, return, success,

Party B will be relying upon its own judgement and its own advisors with
respect to that Transaction and Party B has not sought and is not relying on

otherwise) all risks associated with that Transaction and all other

associated with entering into and performing its obligations under that

material adverse change in the financial condition, operations, assets, and
prospects of Party B.
(e) Set Off. Section 6(f) of this Agreement is deleted in its entirety
and replaced with the following:
"(f) Upon the designation of any Early Termination Date, the party that
is not the Defaulting Party or Affected Party ("X") may, without prior
notice to the Defaulting or Affected Party ("Y"), set off any sum or
obligation (whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or
unmatured, whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place
of payment or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by Y to X or any
Affiliate of X (the "X Set Off Amount") against any sum or obligation
(whether or not arising under this Agreement, whether matured or unmatured,
whether or not contingent and irrespective of the currency, place of payment
or booking office of the sum or obligation) owed by X or any Affiliate of X
to Y (the "Y Set Off Amount"). X will give notice to the other party of any
set off effected under this Section 6(f).
For this purpose, either the X Set Off Amount or the Y Set Off Amount (or
the relevant portion of such set off amounts) may be converted by X into the
currency in which the other set off amount is denominated at the rate of
exchange at which X would be able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good
faith, to purchase the relevant amount of such currency.
If a sum or 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 Section 6(f) shall be effective to create a charge or other
security interest. This Section 6(f) shall be without prejudice and in
EFTA01465266
addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other
rights to which any party is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by
operation of law, contract or otherwise)."
(f) Escrow. On any date on which both parties are required to make
payments hereunder, either party may at its option and in its sole
discretion notify the other party that payments on that date are to be made
in escrow. In this case deposit of the payment due earlier on that date
shall be made by 2:00 p.m. (local time at the place for the earlier payment
if there is a time difference between the cities in which payments are to be
made) on that date with an escrow agent selected by the party giving the
notice and reasonably acceptable to the other party, accompanied by
irrevocable payment instructions (i) to release the deposited payment to the
intended recipient upon receipt by the escrow agent of the required deposit
of the corresponding payment from the other party on the same date
accompanied by irrevocable payment instructions to the same effect or (ii)
if the required deposit of the corresponding payment is not made on that
same date, to return the payment deposited to the party that paid it into
escrow at such party's request. The party that elects to have payments made
in escrow shall pay the costs of the escrow arrangements and shall cause
those arrangements to provide that the intended recipient of the payment due
to be deposited first shall be entitled to interest on that deposited
payment for each day in the period of its deposit at the rate offered by the
escrow agent for that day for overnight deposits in the relevant currency in
the office where it holds that deposited payment (at 11:00 a.m. local time
on that day) if that payment is not released by 5:00 p.m. local time on the
date it is deposited for any reason other than the intended recipient's
failure to make the escrow deposit it is required to make hereunder in a
timely fashion.
(g) Additional Acknowledgments and Agreements of the Parties. Section
4 is hereby amended by adding the following new agreements:
(i) Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each of the parties hereby
irrevocably waives any and all right to a trial by jury with respect to any
legal proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any

that (A) Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. or another designated Affiliate of

liability for the performance of either party's obligations under this
Agreement or any Transaction, or for costs, expenses, damages or claims
arising out of the failure of either party to perform any such obligation.
(iii) Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the applicability if any, of any
other provision of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code as amended (the "Bankruptcy
Code") (including without limitation Sections 362, 546, 556, and 560 thereof
and the applicable definitions in Section 101 thereof), the parties
acknowledge and agree that all Transactions entered into hereunder will
constitute "forward contracts" or "swap agreements" as defined in Section
101 of the Bankruptcy Code or "commodity contracts" as defined in Section
761 of the Bankruptcy Code, that this Agreement is a "master netting
EFTA01465267
agreement" as defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code, that the rights
of the parties under Section 6 of this Agreement will constitute contractual
rights to liquidate Transactions, that any margin or collateral provided
under any margin, collateral, security, pledge, or similar agreement related
hereto will constitute a "margin payment" as defined in Section 101 of the
Bankruptcy Code, and that the parties are entities entitled to the rights
under, and protections afforded by, Sections 362, 546, 556, and 560 of the
Bankruptcy Code.
(h) Amendments. Section 9(b) is modified by the deletion of the words
"or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic
messages on an electronic messaging system".

them through an Office specified in Part 4 of the Schedule to this Agreement
which is (a) outstanding between them at the date this Agreement comes into
effect or (b) entered into by them on or after the date this Agreement comes
into effect, and is
(I) an FX Transaction or a Currency Option Transaction (as those terms
are defined in the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions, including Annex
A, published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
("ISDA"), the Emerging Markets Traders Association and the Foreign Exchange
Committee (the "FX Definitions")) will be deemed to incorporate the FX
Definitions into the Confirmation thereof; or

Definitions (published by ISDA) (the "2005 Commodity Definitions")) will be
deemed to incorporate the 2005 Commodity Definitions into the Confirmation
thereof
and each transaction of a type described in (I) and (II) will be a
Transaction for the purpose of this Agreement whether or not a Confirmation
of such a Transaction refers to this Agreement and irrespective of any
reference in a Confirmation to the "International Bullion Master Agreement",
the "LBMA", or the "IBMA", provided however, if a confirmation of any such
transaction expressly states that another master agreement governs, such
transaction will not be a Transaction for the purpose of this Agreement.
For the avoidance of doubt, FX Transaction(s) include foreign exchange
swap(s) but not cross currency interest rate swap(s).
(ii) Section 1(b) of this Agreement is amended by adding the following
proviso at the end thereof: "provided, however, that with respect to (i) an
FX Transaction (other than one that is identified as non-deliverable in the
relevant Confirmation) and (ii) a Transaction (which is confirmed using an
electronic messaging system) (as each such transaction type is defined in
this provision of the Schedule to this Agreement) this Agreement will
prevail unless the relevant Confirmation specifically references this
Agreement."
(k) Disclosure. Each party hereby consents to the communication or
disclosure by the other party of information in respect of or relating to
EFTA01465268
this Agreement and any Transactions hereunder to such other party's
