  (ii)

The procedure set forth in this subpart (ii) is applicable to all Transactions except Credit Derivative Transactions (as defined in the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions) (or

 

- 10 -


 

any successor ISDA publication to such definitions) and Non-Disputable Equity Derivatives Transactions). Unless otherwise agreed in a global master confirmation agreement between the parties, a “Non-Disputable Equity Derivatives Transaction” means any Transaction in respect of which (y) the relevant Confirmation incorporates the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (or any successor ISDA publication to such definitions) and (z) one or more of the Exchanges is located (A) in any of Bahrain, Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Jordan, Kuwait, Morocco, Oman, Poland, Qatar, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Turkey or the United Arab Emirates, (B) anywhere in Asia other than Japan, Australia, Hong Kong, New Zealand or Singapore or (C) anywhere in Latin America other than Brazil.

A party (the “Objecting Party”) has the right to dispute in good faith and on commercially reasonable grounds a particular Determination made by the Calculation Agent, provided that the Objecting Party notifies the other party and the Calculation Agent (if the other party is not the Calculation Agent) of such dispute promptly (but in no event later than one Reference Day) after the Calculation Agent has provided the Objecting Party and the other party (if the other party is not the Calculation Agent) with notice of such Determination. In any such instance, the parties shall, within three Reference Days after such notice, jointly select three Independent Dealers (or, if the parties cannot jointly agree on three, each party shall select an Independent Dealer, which two Independent Dealers shall jointly select a third Independent Dealer). Each such Independent Dealer shall be requested by the Calculation Agent to make a Determination as to the disputed matter within three Reference Days after its appointment.

In the event that two or three Independent Dealers provide a Determination as to the disputed matter within three Reference Days after their respective appointments:

 

  (y) if those Determinations are susceptible to the calculation of an arithmetic mean, the arithmetic mean of such Determinations shall be binding on the parties for the disputed matter, absent manifest error; or

 

  (z) if those Determinations are not susceptible to the calculation of an arithmetic mean (e.g., Determinations as to whether or not an event has occurred or terms of a Transaction are to be adjusted), then (A) if a majority of the responding Independent Dealers provided the same Determination, such Determination shall be binding on the parties for the disputed matter, absent manifest error, or (B) if a majority of the Independent Dealers did not provide the same Determination, the responding Independent Dealers will jointly appoint a fourth Independent Dealer (the “Resolver”). The Resolver will select, within two Reference Days after its appointment, from the Determinations originally provided by the responding Independent Dealers, with the selected Determination being binding on the parties for the disputed matter, absent manifest error.

The costs of any Independent Dealers or Resolver shall be borne by (x) the Objecting Party if the Determination made pursuant to this subpart (ii) substantially comports with the relevant Determination made by the Calculation Agent or if the relevant Determination made by the Calculation Agent otherwise applies, (y) Party B if Party B disputes a Determination made by a Calculation Agent selected by Party B, or (z) Party A, if Party A is the Calculation Agent and the Determination made pursuant to this

 

- 11 -


subpart (ii) does not substantially comport with the relevant Determination made by the Calculation Agent.

The following terms used in this Part 5(6) have the following meanings:

“Determination” means any determination, calculation, or adjustment, as the case may be.

“Independent Dealer” means a leading dealer in the relevant market that is not an Affiliate of either of the parties or any other appointed Independent Dealer.

“Reference Day” means, in respect of any Transaction, a Business Day as defined as set forth in the Confirmation evidencing such Transaction or, absent such definition, a day that is a Banking Day (as defined in the 2006 ISDA Definitions) in New York and in the location of the office of Party A where such Transaction is booked.

 

  (iii) A party’s right to dispute a Determination under subpart (ii) immediately above shall (1) cease to be applicable at any time that a Potential Event of Default or Event of Default in respect of such party or an Additional Termination Event in respect of which such party is the sole Affected Party has occurred and is continuing, (2) be inapplicable in respect of any Transaction for which the relevant Confirmation or Master Confirmation sets forth procedures for disputing a Determination by the Calculation Agent, and (3) be inapplicable to any Determination made pursuant to the terms of any Protocol sponsored by ISDA to which the parties adhere. Notwithstanding a party’s exercise of its right to dispute a Determination under subpart (ii) immediately above, any undisputed amounts or deliveries in respect of any Transaction shall be made by the relevant party as if no dispute existed.

Part 6

Foreign Exchange & Currency Option Transactions

(1)     Section 2.2(a) of the FX Definitions is hereby amended by substituting the following therefor in its entirety:

(a) Deliverable FX Transaction.

(i) Unless the parties expressly agree in a Confirmation of a Deliverable FX Transaction that this subsection (i) shall be inapplicable to such Deliverable FX Transaction, the obligation of Party A to make a payment in respect of any Deliverable FX Transaction on a Settlement Date is subject to the condition precedent that Party B shall have first satisfied its obligation to make each payment under such Deliverable FX Transaction, subject to any applicable condition precedent and any applicable provisions of Article 5.

(ii) If the parties expressly agree in a Confirmation of a Deliverable FX Transaction that subsection (i) immediately above shall be inapplicable to such Deliverable FX Transaction, each party will pay, on the Settlement Date in respect of such Deliverable FX Transaction, the amount specified as payable by it in the related Confirmation, subject to any applicable condition precedent and any applicable provisions of Article 5.

 

- 12 -


(2) Section 3.4 of the FX Definitions is amended by adding the following:

(c) Discharge and Termination. Unless otherwise agreed, any Call or any Put written by a party will automatically be terminated and discharged, in whole or in part, as applicable, against a Call or a Put, respectively, written by the other party, such termination and discharge to occur automatically upon the payment in full of the last Premium payable in respect of such Currency Option Transactions; provided that such termination and discharge may only occur in respect of Currency Option Transactions:

(i) each being with respect to the same Put Currency and the same Call Currency;

(ii) each having the same Expiration Date and Expiration Time;

(iii) each being of the same style, i.e. either both being American style Currency Option Transactions or both being European style Currency Option Transactions;

(iv) each having the same Strike Price and other material terms;

(v) neither of which shall have been exercised by delivery of a Notice of Exercise; and

(vi) each having been transacted by the same pair of Offices of the Buyer and Seller.

and, upon the occurrence of such termination and discharge, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party in respect of the relevant Currency Option Transactions or, as the case may be, parts thereof so terminated and discharged. In the case of a partial termination and discharge (i.e., where the relevant Currency Option Transactions are for different amounts of the Currency Pair), the remaining portion of the Currency Option Transaction which is partially discharged and terminated shall continue to be a Currency Option Transaction for all purposes of this Agreement, including this Section 3.4(c).

 

(3) Section 3.7(a) of the FX Definitions is hereby amended by substituting the following therefor in its entirety:

 

  (a) Deliverable Currency Option Transaction. In respect of an Exercise Date under a Deliverable Currency Option Transaction, on the Settlement Date, except as otherwise set forth in this Section 3.7(a), Buyer will pay to Seller the Put Currency Amount and Seller will pay to Buyer the Call Currency Amount, subject to the provisions of Section 3.6(c), any other applicable condition precedent and any applicable provisions of Article 5.

(1) Definitions. For the purposes of this Part 7, the following terms have the following definitions:

 

- 15 -


“JPM Affiliate” means each of Party A and any of its Affiliates that executes this Agreement.

“JPM Affiliate Agreement” means any Specified Agreement to which Party B and any JPM Affiliate are parties.

“Specified Agreement” means (i) an agreement governing any Specified Transaction, (ii) any agreement in respect of credit support for obligations under any Specified Transaction or under an agreement governing any Specified Transaction, (iii) any futures agreement or clearing agreement or other similar agreement and (iv) any Institutional Account Agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC or J.P. Morgan Securities plc.

For the purposes of the definition of “Specified Agreement”, the term “Specified Transaction” has the meaning set forth in Section 14 but excluding the following words in subpart (a) of the definition of “Specified Transaction”: “between one party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party) and the other party to this Agreement (or any Credit Support Provider of such other party or any applicable Specified Entity of such other party) which is not a Transaction under this Agreement but”.

 

(2) Master Close-out. Without limiting any provision in any JPM Affiliate Agreement, each JPM Affiliate and Party B agree that the occurrence of any event of default, default, termination event, or similar condition or event (however described) in respect of Party B or a JPM Affiliate (the entity in respect of which such occurrence takes place being the “Master Close-out Defaulting Party”) under a JPM Affiliate Agreement on the basis of which the other party to such JPM Affiliate Agreement has the contractual right to terminate, close-out or liquidate all transactions governed by such JPM Affiliate Agreement or which causes the automatic termination of all such transactions shall entitle the Master Close-out Non-Defaulting Party (as defined below) to terminate all transactions governed by any other JPM Affiliate Agreement (each, an “Other JPM Affiliate Agreement”). “Master Close-out Non-Defaulting Party” means (i) Party B if the Master Close-out Defaulting Party is a JPM Affiliate or (ii) the JPM Affiliate that is the party to such Other JPM Affiliate Agreement if the Master Close-out Defaulting Party is Party B. The amount payable in respect of the termination of transactions governed by any such Other JPM Affiliate Agreement shall be determined in accordance with any applicable provisions thereof and, if there are no such applicable provisions, in the same manner as set forth in Section 6 of this Agreement as if the transactions governed by such other JPM Affiliate Agreement were Transactions governed by this Agreement.

 

(3) Authorization to Transfer Funds. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or any other agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any event of default, default, termination event, or similar condition or event (however described) in respect of Party B under any JPM Affiliate Agreement, Party B authorizes each JPM Affiliate, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to Party B, to transfer or cause to be transferred any funds, securities and/or other property to, between, or among any accounts maintained by Party B with or among any JPM Affiliates.

 

(4) Assignment. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in any JPM Affiliate Agreement, upon the occurrence and during the continuation of any event of default, default, termination event, or similar condition or event (however described) in respect of Party B under any JPM Affiliate Agreement, Party B hereby consents and agrees that the rights and obligations of any JPM Affiliate in respect of any JPM Affiliate Agreement may be assigned to any other JPM Affiliate without the prior written consent of Party B.

 

(5)

Additional JPM Set Off Rights. Any amount payable by a JPM Affiliate to Party B in respect of the termination of all transactions governed by a JPM Affiliate Agreement as the result of the occurrence of any event of default, default, termination event, or similar condition or event

 

- 16 -


 

(however described) in respect of Party B may, at the option of such JPM Affiliate (and without prior notice to Party B), be reduced by its set-off against any Other Agreement Amount (as hereinafter defined). As used herein, “Other Agreement Amount” shall mean any payment obligation of any description whatsoever (whether arising at such time or in the future or upon the occurrence of a contingency) by Party B to any JPM Affiliate (irrespective of the currency, place of payment or booking office of the obligation or whether the relevant party is legally or beneficially the holder of the obligation) arising under any agreement between Party B and any JPM Affiliate or any instrument or undertaking issued or executed or guaranteed by Party B to, or in favor of, any JPM Affiliate or any bond, note, or other debt instrument issued or guaranteed by Party B and owned or held beneficially by any JPM Affiliate as a result of the purchase thereof by or on behalf of any JPM Affiliate, whether directly from the issuer or in the secondary market; and the Other Agreement Amount will be discharged promptly and in all respects to the extent it is so set-off. The JPM Affiliate effecting any set-off pursuant to this section will give notice to Party B of any such set-off.

For this purpose, the Other Agreement Amount (or the relevant portion of such amounts) may be converted by the JPM Affiliate effecting the set-off into the currency in which the obligation of such JPM Affiliate is denominated at the rate of exchange at which such JPM Affiliate 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, a JPM Affiliate 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 shall be effective to create a charge or other security interest. This section shall be without prejudice and in addition to any right of set-off, combination of accounts, lien or other right to which any entity is at any time otherwise entitled (whether by operation of law, contract or otherwise).
