HomeMy WebLinkAboutAgenda Report - August 4, 1999 H-02CITY OF LODI COUNCIL COMMUNICATION
AGENDA TITLE: Resolution of the City Council of the City of Lodi Authorizing Execution and Delivery
of an Interest Rate Swap Agreement and Directing Certain Actions Relating Thereto
MEETING DATE: August 4, 1999
PREPARED BY: Electric Utility Director
RECOMMENDED ACTION: That the City Council approve the attached resolution.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: Resolution No. 99-107 approved the financing and refinancing of
improvements to the City's electric system through Electric System
Revenue Certificates of Participation, 1999 Series A Current Interest
Certificates and Electric System Revenue Certificates of Participation, 1999 Series B Capital Appreciation
Certificates (collectively, the "Certificates").
As previously discussed with the Council, it is desirable to convert the fixed rate debt associated with the
Certificates to a variable rate in order to better manage the City's exposure to fixed rate debt risk.
Execution of the swap agreement for the Certificates would change approximately 23% of the City's total
fixed outstanding debt associated with its electrical assets (including those associated with the Northern
California Power Agency and the Transmission Agency of Northern California) to variable. There is also
an opportunity for a $4 to $5 million savings, based on historical data; however, as discussed above, the
primary reason to execute the fixed to variable interest rate swap is to manage overall future exposure to
fixed rate debt, and hence, future power costs.
The attached swap documents are essentially in final form and will be updated shortly.

MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of
Salomon Brothers Holding Company Inc and the City of Lodi have entered and/or
anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a "Transaction") that are or will be
governed by this Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement"), which includes the schedule
(the "Schedule"), and the documents and other confirming evidence (each a "Confirmation")
exchanged between the parties confirming those Transactions.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows: -
1. Interpretation
(a) Defindiions. The terms defined in Section 12 and in the Schedule will have the meanings
therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule
and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the
event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master
Agreement (including the Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the
relevant Transaction.
(c) Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this
Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties
(collectively referred to as this "Agreement"), and the parties would not otherwise enter
into any Transactions.
2. Obligations
(a) General Conditions.
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation
to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that
date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise
pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary
for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other
than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner
customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant
Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to (1) the condition
Copyright 0 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
precedent that no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to the
other party has occurred and is continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early
Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been
effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition precedent specified in
this Agreement.
(b) Change of Account. Either party may change its account for receiving a payment or
delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local Business Days prior to the
scheduled date for the payment or delivery to which such change applies unless such other
party gives timely notice of a reasonable objection to such change.
(c) Netting. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:—
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each parry to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to make payment of any
such amount will be automatically satisfied and discharged and, if the aggregate amount
that would otherwise have been payable by one parry exceeds the aggregate amount that
would otherwise have been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the
party by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the other
party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net amount will be
determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same date in the same currency in
respect of such Transactions, regardless of whether such amounts are payable in respect
of the same Transaction. The election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by
specifying that subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as
being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which case subparagraph
(ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such Transactions from such date). This
election may be made separately for different groups of Transactions and will apply
separately to each pairing of branches or offices through which the parties make and
receive payments or deliveries.
(d) Defaull Interest; Other Amounts. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an
Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction, a party that defaults in the
performance of any payment obligation will, to the extent permitted by law and subject to
Section 6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the overdue
amount to the other parry on demand in the same currency as such overdue amount, for
the period from (and including) the original due date for payment to (but excluding) the
date of actual payment, at the Default Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis
of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence
or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant
Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation required to be settled
by delivery, it will compensate the other party on demand if and to the extent provided
for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. Representations
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be deemed to be repeated by
each parry on each date on which a Transaction is entered into) that: -

5. Events of Default and Termination Events
(a) Events of Default. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or, if applicable,
any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such party of any of

agreement or obligation (other than an obligation to make any payment under this
Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(d) or to give notice of a Termination
Event or any agreement or obligation under Section 4(a)) to be complied with or
performed by the parry in accordance with this Agreement if such failure is not
remedied on or before the thirtieth day after notice of such failure is given to the
party;
(iii) Credit Support Default.
(1) Failure by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such parry to
comply with or perform any agreement or obligation to be complied with or performed
by it in accordance with any Credit Support Document if such failure is continuing
after any applicable grace period has elapsed;
(2) the expiration or termination of such Credit Support Document or the
failing or ceasing of such Credit Support Document to be in full force and effect for
the purpose of this Agreement (in either case other than in accordance with its terms)
prior to the satisfaction of all obligations of such party under each Transaction to
which such Credit Support Document relates without the written consent of the other
party; or
(3) the parry or such Credit Support Provider disaffirms, disclaims,

Support Document;
(iv) Misrepresentation. A representation made or repeated or deemed to have been
made or repeated by the party or any Credit Support Provider of such party in this

misleading in any material respect when made or repeated or deemed to have been
made or repeated;
(v) Default under Specified Transaction. The party, any Credit Support Provider
of such parry or any applicable Specified Entity of such party (1) defaults under a
Specified Transaction and, after giving effect to any applicable notice requirement or
grace period, there occurs a liquidation of, an acceleration of obligations under, or an
early termination of, that Specified Transaction, (2) defaults, after giving effect to any
applicable notice requirement or grace period, in making any payment or delivery due
on the last payment, delivery or exchange date of, or any payment on early
termination of, a Specified Transaction (or such default continues for at least three
Local Business Days if there is no applicable notice requirement or grace period) or
(3) disaffirms, disclaims, repudiates or rejects, in whole or in part, a Specified
Transaction (or such action is taken by any person or entity appointed or empowered
to operate it or act on its behalf);
(vi) Cross Default. If "Cross Default" is specified in the Schedule as applying to the
party, the occurrence or existence of (1) a default, event of default or other similar
condition or event (however described) in respect of such party, any Credit Support
Provider of such party or any applicable Specified Entity of such party under one or
more agreements or instruments relating to Specified indebtedness of any of them
(individually or collectively) in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable
Threshold Amount (as specified in the Schedule) which has resulted in such Specified
Indebtedness becoming, or becoming capable at such time of being declared, due and
payable under such agreements or instruments, before it would otherwise have been
due and payable or (2) a default by such party, such Credit Support Provider or such
Specified Entity (individually or collectively) in making one or more payments on the
due date thereof in an aggregate amount of not less than the applicable Threshold
Amount under such agreements or instruments (after giving effect to any applicable

(1) is dissolved (other than pursuant to a consolidation, amalgamation or
merger); (2) becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts or fails or admits in
writing its inability generally to pay its debts as they become due; (3) makes a general
assignment, arrangement or composition with or for the benefit of its creditors; (4)
institutes or has instituted against it a proceeding seeking a judgment of insolvency or
bankruptcy or any other relief under any bankruptcy or insolvency law or other similar
law affecting creditors' rights, or a petition is presented for its winding -up or
liquidation, and, in the case of any such proceeding or petition instituted or presented
against it, such proceeding or petition (A) results in a judgment of insolvency or
5
Copyright 01992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
bankruptcy or the entry of an order for relief or the making of an order for its
winding -up or liquidation or (B) is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained in
each case within 30 days of the institution or presentation thereof; (5) has a resolution
passed for its winding -up, official management or liquidation (other than pursuant to a
consolidation, amalgamation or merger); (6) seeks or becomes subject to the
appointment of an administrator, provisional liquidator, conservator, receiver, trustee,
custodian or other similar official for it or for all or substantially all its assets; (7) has
a secured party take possession of all or substantially all its assets or has a distress,
execution, attachment, sequestration or other legal process levied, enforced or sued on
or against all or substantially all its assets and such secured party maintains
possession, or any such process is not dismissed, discharged, stayed or restrained, in
each case within 30 days thereafter; (8) causes or is subject to any event with respect
to it which, under the applicable laws of any jurisdiction, has an analogous effect to
any of the events specified in clauses (1) to (7) (inclusive); or (9) takes any action in
furtherance of, or indicating its consent to, approval of, or acquiescence in, any of the
foregoing acts; or
(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider of such
party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or transfers all or
substantially all its assets to, another entity and, at the time of such consolidation,
amalgamation, merger or transfer:—
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to assume all the
obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this Agreement or any
Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor was a party by operation of
law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to this
Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without
the consent of the other parry) to the performance by such resulting, surviving or
transferee entity of its obligations under this Agreement.
(b) Temdnation Events. The occurrence at any time with respect to a parry or, if applicable,
any Credit Support Provider of such party or any Specified Entity of such parry of any
event specified below constitutes an Illegality if the event is specified in (i) below, and, if
specified to be applicable, a Credit Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant
to (ii) below or an Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (iii)
below:—
(i) Illegality. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable law after the
date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to the promulgation of, or any
change in, the interpretation by any court, tribunal or regulatory authority with
competent jurisdiction of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful
(other than as a result of a breach by the parry of Section 4(b)) for such party (which
will be the Affected Party):—
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a payment or
delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in respect of such Transaction
or to comply with any other material provision of this Agreement relating to
6
Copyright* 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
such Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party to perform,
any contingent or other obligation which the party (or such Credit Support
Provider) has under any Credit Support Document relating to such
Transaction;
(ii) Credit Event Upon Merger. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified in the
Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any Credit Support Provider of X
or any applicable Specified Entity of X consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges
with or into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and such
action does not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the
creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or transferee entity is materially weaker
than that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may
be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or
transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or
(iii) Additional Termination Event. If any "Additional Termination Event" is
specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the occurrence of such
event (and, in such event, the Affected Party, or Affected Parties shall be as specified
for such Additional Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) Event of Default and Megality. If an event or circumstance which would otherwise
constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes an Illegality, it will be
treated as an Illegality and will not constitute an Event of Default.
6. Early Termination
(a) Right to Terminate Following Event of Default. If at any time an Event of Default with
respect to a party (the "Defaulting Party") has occurred and is then continuing, the other
party (the "Non -defaulting Party") may, by not more than 20 days notice to the
Defaulting Party specifying the relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than
the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is specified in the Schedule
as applying to a party, then an Early Termination Date in respect of all outstanding
Transactions will occur immediately upon the occurrence with respect to such party of an
Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(l), (3), (5), (6) or, to the extent analogous
thereto, (8), and as of the time immediately preceding the institution of the relevant
proceeding or the presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to
such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to the extent
analogous thereto, (8).
(b) Right to Terminate Following Termination Event.
(i) Notice. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will, promptly upon
becoming aware of it, notify the other party, specifying the nature of that Termination
Event and each Affected Transaction and will also give such other information about
that Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.
(ii) Two Affected Parties. If an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) occurs and there
are two Affected Parties, each party will use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement
Copyright ® 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
within 30 days after notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid
that Termination Event.
(iii) Right to Terminate. If. —
(1) an agreement under Section 6(b)(ii) has not been effected with respect to
all Affected Transactions within 30 days after an Affected Party gives notice
under Section 6(b)(i); or
(2) an Illegality other than that referred to in Section 6(b)(ii), a_ Credit Event
Upon Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, either party in the
case of an Illegality, any Affected Party in the case of an Additional
Termination Event if there is more than one Affected Party, or the party
which is not the Affected Party in the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger
or an Additional Termination Event if there is only one Affected Party may,
by not more than 20 days notice to the other party and provided that the
relevant Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier
than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect
of all Affected Transactions.
(c) Effect of Designation.
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under Section 6(a) or
(b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the date so designated, whether or not
the relevant Event of Default or Termination Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date, no
further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(d) in respect of the
Terminated Transactions will be required to be made, but without prejudice to the
other provisions of this Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an
Early Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) Calculations.
(i) Statement. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the occurrence of
an Early Termination Date, each party will make the calculations on its part, if any,
contemplated by Section 6(e) and will provide to the other party a statement (1)
showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including all relevant quotations and
specifying any amount payable under Section 6(e)) and (2) giving details of the
relevant account to which any amount payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of
written confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in determining a Market
Quotation, the records of the party obtaining such quotation will be conclusive
evidence of the existence and accuracy of such quotation_
(ii) Payment Date. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any Early
Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day that notice of the
amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is
designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two
Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective
(in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a
8
Copyright 0 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
Termination Event). Such amount will be paid together with (to the extent permitted
under applicable law) interest thereon (before as well as after judgment), from (and
including) the relevant Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount
is paid, at the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily
compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) Payments on Early Termination. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the following
provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the Schedule of a payment
measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss," and a payment method, either the "First
Method" or the "Second Method." If the parties fail to designate a payment measure or
payment method in the Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotation" or the
"Second Method," as the case may be, shall apply. The amount, if any, payable in
respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be
subject to any Set-off.
(i) Events of Default. If the Early Termination Date results from an Event of
Default:—
(1) First Method and Market Quotation. If the First Method and Market
Quotation apply, the Defaulting Parry will pay to the Non -defaulting Party the excess,
if a positive number, of (A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the
Non -defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated Transactions and the Unpaid
Amounts owing to the Non -defaulting Party over (B) the Unpaid Amounts owing to
the Defaulting Party.
(2) First Method and Loss. If the First Method and Loss apply, the
Defaulting Party will pay to the Non -defaulting Party, if a positive number, the Non -
defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement.
(3) Second Method and Market Quotation. If the Second Method and
Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to (A) the sum of the
Settlement Amount (determined by the Non -defaulting Party) in respect of the
Terminated Transactions and the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non -defaulting Party
less (B) the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount is a
positive number, the Defaulting Parry will pay it to the Non -defaulting Party; if it is a
negative number, the Non -defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount
to the Defaulting Party.
(4) Second Method and Loss. If the Second Method and Loss apply, an
amount will be payable equal to the Non -defaulting Party's Loss in respect of this
Agreement. If that amount is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
Non -defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non -defaulting Party will pay the
absolute value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
(ii) Termination Events. If the Early Termination Date results from a
Termination Event:—
(1) One Affected Party. If there is one Affected Parry, the amount
payable will be determined in accordance with Section 6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation
applies, or Section 6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case, references to
9
Copyright 0 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
the Defaulting Party and to the Non -defaulting Party will be deemed to be references
to the Affected Party and the parry which is not the Affected Party, respectively, and,
if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are being terminated, Loss shall be
calculated in respect of all Terminated Transactions.
(2) Two Affected Parties. If there are two Affected Parties:—
(A) if Market Quotation applies, each parry will determine a
Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated Transactions, and an
amount will be payable equal to (1) the sum of (a) one=half of the difference
between the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher Settlement
Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount of the party with the lower
Settlement Amount ("Y") and (b) the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less (II)
the Unpaid Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) if Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in respect
of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the Transactions are being
terminated, in respect of all Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be
payable equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of the party
with the higher Loss ("X") and the Loss of the party with the lower Loss
("Y").
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to X; if it is a
negative number, X will pay the absolute value of that amount to Y.
(iii) Adjustment for Bankruptcy. In circumstances where an Early Termination
Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination" applies in respect of a party, the
amount determined under this Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are
appropriate and permitted by law to reflect any payments or deliveries made by one
party to the other under this Agreement (and retained by such other .parry) during the
period from the relevant Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined
under Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) Pre -Estimate. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an amount
recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable pre -estimate of loss and not a
penalty. Such amount is payable for the loss of bargain and the loss of protection
against future risks and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party
will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence of such losses.
7. Transfer
Neither this Agreement nor any interest or obligation in or under this Agreement may be
transferred (whether by way of security or otherwise) by either party without the prior
written consent of the other party, except that:—
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a consolidation or
amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of all or substantially all of its
assets to, another entity (but without prejudice to any other right or remedy under this
Agreement); and
(b) a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in any amount payable to
10
Copyright 0 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.
8. Miscellaneous
(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of
the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communication and
prior writings with respect thereto.
(b) Amendments. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this Agreement will
be effective unless in writing (including a writing evidenced by a facsimile transmission)
and executed by each of the parties or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic
messages on an electronic messaging system.
(c) Survival of Obligations. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and 6(c)(ii), the
obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive the termination of any
Transaction.
(d) Remedies Cumulative. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights, powers,
remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative and not exclusive of
any rights, powers, remedies and privileges provided by law.
(e) Counterparts and Confirmations.
(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in respect of it)
may be executed and delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission),
each of which will be deemed an original.
(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each Transaction
from the moment they agree to those terms (whether orally or otherwise). A
Confirmation shall be entered into as soon as practicable and may be executed and
delivered in counterparts (including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an
exchange of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic
messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all purposes to evidence a
binding supplement to this Agreement. The parties will specify therein or through
another effective means that any such counterpart, telex or electronic message
constitutes a Confirmation.
(f) No Waiver of Rights. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege m
respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a waiver, and a single or
partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will not be presumed to preclude any
subsequent or further exercise, of that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any
other right, power or privilege.
(g) Headings. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only

14
Copyright 0 1992 by International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.

limitation, any payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination Date, have
been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) after that Early
Termination Date is to be included. The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such

party making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to
provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as of the same day and time (without
regard to different time zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the relevant Early
Termination Date. The day and time as of which those quotations are to be obtained will be
selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if
each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than three quotations are
provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard to
the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If exactly three such quotations are

both, would constitute an Event of Default.

determining a Market Quotation in good faith (a) from among dealers of the highest credit
standing which satisfy all the criteria that such parry applies generally at the time in deciding
whether to offer or to make an extension of credit and (b) to the extent practicable, from among
such dealers having an office in the same city.
'Scheduled Payment Date" means a date on which a payment or delivery is to be made under Section
2(a)(i) with respect to a Transaction.

(whether arising under this Agreement, another contract, applicable law or otherwise) that is
exercised by, or imposed on, such payer.

(a) the Market Quotations (whether positive or negative) for each Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions for which a Market Quotation is determined;

party making the determination) produce a commercially reasonable result.

Termination Event, all Affected Transactions and (b) if resulting from an Event of Default, all

immediately before that Early Termination Date).

of (a) in respect of all Terminated Transactions, the amounts that became payable (or that would
have become payable but for Section 2(a)(iii)) to such party under Section 2(a)(i) on or prior to
such Early Termination Date and which remain unpaid as at such Early Termination Date and (b)
in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under Section 2(a)(i) which was
(or would have been but for Section 2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on

Termination Date, an amount equal to the fair market value of that which was (or would have
been) required to be delivered as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in each case
together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law) interest, in the currency of such
amounts, from (and including) the date such amounts or obligations were or would have been
required to have been paid or performed to (but excluding) such Early Termination Date, at the
Applicable Rate. Such amounts of interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
and the actual number of days elapsed. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in
clause (b) above shall be reasonably determined by the party obliged to make the determination
under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it shall be the average of the fair market values
reasonably determined by both parties.

administrative or operational nature; and (b) funds were available to such party to enable
it to make the relevant payment when due; and (c) such relevant payment is made within

of financial distress in respect of it;"
(e) Merger Without Assumption. Section 5(a)(viii) of this Agreement is hereby
amended to read in its entirety as follows:
"(viii) Merger Without Assumption. The party or any Credit Support Provider
of such party consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
451431.02/021504001
4
transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (or, without limiting the
foregoing, if such party is a Government Entity, an entity such as an organization,
board, commission, authority, agency or body succeeds to the principal funds of,
or powers and duties granted to, such party or any Credit Support Provider of
such party) and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger, transfer
or succession:
(1) the resulting, surviving, transferee or successor entity fails to assume
all the obligations of such party or such Credit Support Provider under this
Agreement or any Credit Support Document to which it or its predecessor
was a party by operation of law or pursuant to an agreement reasonably
satisfactory to the other party to this Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend (without
the consent of the other party) to the performance by such resulting,
surviving, transferee or successor entity of its obligations under this
Agreement. "

another entity (or, without limiting the foregoing, if X is a Government Entity, an
entity such as an organization, board, commission, authority, agency or body
succeeds to the principal functions of, or powers and duties granted to, X, any
Credit Support Provider of X or any Specified Entity of X) and such action does
not constitute an event described in Section 5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of
the resulting, surviving, transferee or successor entity is materially weaker than
that of X, such Credit Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may
be, immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its successor or
transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected Party); or
(g) Automatic Early Termination. The "Automatic Early Termination" provisions
of Section 6(a) will not apply to Party A and will not apply to Party B; provided, however, that
with respect to a party, where the Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3), (4), (5),
(6) or to the extent analogous thereto, (8) is governed by a system of law which does not permit
termination to take place after the occurrence of the relevant Event of Default, then the
451431.02/02150-0001
Automatic Early Termination provisions of Section 6(a) will apply to such parry.

10
Entity agrees with the other party) that, so long as either parry has or may have
any obligation under this Agreement or under any Credit Support Document to

fulfill each provision in the Covered Indenture applicable to Party B in effect on
the Covered Indenture Incorporation Date, as any of those provisions may be
amended, supplemented or modified for purposes of this Agreement with the prior
written consent of the other party hereto (the "Incorporated Provisions"), with the
effect that such other party hereto will have the benefit of each of the Incorporated
Provisions (including without limitation, covenants, right to consent to certain
actions subject to consent under the Covered Indenture and delivery of financial

notes, warrants or other similar instruments issued under the Covered Indenture)
will remain in full force and effect for purposes of this Agreement as though set
forth herein until such date on which all of the obligations of Party B under this
Agreement and any obligations of Party B or any Credit Support Provider of Party
B under a Credit Support Document have been fully satisfied. The Incorporated
Provisions are hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this
Agreement to the same extent as if such provisions were set forth herein. For
purposes of this Agreement, the Incorporated Provisions shall be construed as
though (i) all references therein to any party making loans, extensions of credit or
financial accommodations thereunder or commitments therefor (the "Financings")
were to the other party hereto and (ii) to the extent that such Incorporated
Provisions are conditioned on or relate to the existence of such Financings or

modification for which such consent is obtained shall be part of the Incorporated
Provisions for purposes of this Agreement.
(n) Severability. In the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby. The parties shall endeavor, in good faith negotiations, to replace
451431.02102150.0001

entirety as follows:
"(b) Jurisdiction. With respect to any suit, action or proceedings relating to this
Agreement ("Proceedings"), each party irrevocably:

jurisdiction of each of the courts of the State of New York, the United States

executive offices are located and the United States District Court with jurisdiction
over the location of the Government Entity or the other party's principal executive
offices; and

which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought
in any such court, (2) any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an
inconvenient forum and (3) the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings,
that such court does not have any jurisdiction over such party.
Nothing in this Agreement precludes either party from bringing Proceedings in
any other jurisdiction nor will the bringing of Proceedings in any one or more
jurisdictions preclude the bringing of Proceedings in any other jurisdiction."
(p) Waiver of Right to Trial by Jury. Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect
of any suit, action or proceeding relating to this Agreement or any Credit Support Document.
Each party (i) certifies that no representative, agent or attorney of the other party or any Credit
Support Provider has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such other party would not, in
the event of such a suit, action or proceeding, seek to enforce the foregoing waiver and (ii)
acknowledges that it and the other party have been induced to enter into this Agreement and
provide for any Credit Support Document, as applicable, by, among other things, the mutual

inconsistency between this Annex and the other provisions of this Schedule, this Annex will
prevail, and in the event of any inconsistency between Paragraph 13 and the other provisions of
this Annex, Paragraph 13 will prevail.
(b) Secured Party and Pledgor. All references in this Annex to the "Secured Party" will be
to either party when acting in that capacity and all corresponding references to the Pledgor will
be to the other party when acting in that capacity; provided, however, that if Other Posted

with respect to that Other Posted Support will be to that party as the beneficiary thereof and will
not subject that support or that party as the beneficiary thereof to provisions of law generally
relating to security interests and secured parties.
Paragraph 2. Security Interest
Each party, as the Pledgor, hereby pledges to the other party, as the Secured Party, as security
for its Obligations and grants to the Secured Party a first priority continuing security interest in,
lien on and right of Set-off against all Posted Collateral Transferred to or received by the Secured
Party hereunder. Upon the Transfer by the Secured Party to the Pledgor of Posted Collateral, the
security interest and lien granted hereunder on that Posted Collateral will be released immediately
and, to the extent possible, without any further action by either parry.
Paragraph 3. Credit Support Obligations
(a) Delivery Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon demand made by the Secured
Party on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount for that Valuation Date
equals or exceeds the Pledgor's Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Pledgor will Transfer to the
Secured Party Eligible Credit Support having a Value as of the date of Transfer at least equal to
the applicable Delivery Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified
in Paragraph 13, the "Delivery Amount" applicable to the Pledgor for any Valuation Date will

(i) the Credit Support Amount
exceeds
(ii) the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the
Secured Party.
(b) Return Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Pledgor on

Pledgor Posted Credit Support specified by the Pledgor in that demand having a Value as of the
date of Transfer as close as practicable to the applicable Return Amount (rounded pursuant to
Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the "Return Amount" applicable to
the Secured Party for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:
(i) the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the
Secured Party
exceeds
(ii) the Credit Support Amount.
"Credit Support Amount" means, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, for any Valuation
Date (i) the Secured Party's Exposure for that Valuation Date plus (ii) the aggregate of all
Independent Amounts applicable to the Pledgor, if any, minus (iii) all Independent Amounts
applicable to the Secured Party, if any, minus (iv) the Pledgor's Threshold; provided, however,
that the Credit Support Amount will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of Credit
Support Amount yields a number less than zero.
Paragraph 4. Conditions Precedent, Transfer Timing, Calculations and Substitutions
(a) Conditions Precedent. Each Transfer obligation of the Pledgor under Paragraphs 3 and 5
and of the Secured Party under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5 and 6(d) is subject to the conditions

demand for the Transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support is made by the

that the Secured Party will only be obligated to Transfer Posted Credit Support with a
Value as of the date of Transfer of that Posted Credit Support equal to the Value as of that
date of the Substitute Credit Support.

(i) In the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount, unless
otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Exposure
and the Value as of the Recalculation Date by:
(A) utilizing any calculations of Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap
Transactions) that the parties have agreed are not in dispute;
(B) calculating the Exposure for the Transactions (or Swap Transactions) in
dispute by seeking four actual quotations at mid -market from Reference
Market -makers for purposes of calculating Market Quotation, and taking the
arithmetic average of those obtained; provided that if four quotations are not
available for a particular Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then fewer than four
quotations may be used for that Transaction (or Swap Transaction); and if no
quotations are available for a particular Transaction (or Swap Transaction), then
the Valuation Agent's original calculations will be used for that Transaction (or
Swap Transaction);
(C) utilizing the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating the
Value, if disputed, of Posted Credit Support.
(ii) In the case of a dispute involving the Value of any Transfer of Eligible Credit
Support or Posted Credit Support the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Value as of the
date of Transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13.
Following a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will notify each party
(or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) not later than the Notification Time on the
Local Business Day following the Resolution Time. The appropriate party will, upon demand
following that notice by the Valuation Agent or a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to
Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), make the appropriate Transfer.
Paragraph 6. Holding and Using Posted Collateral
(a) Care of Posted Collateral. Without limiting the Secured Party's rights under Paragraph
6(c), the Secured Party will exercise reasonable care to assure the safe custody of all Posted
Collateral to the extent required by applicable law, and in any event the Secured Party will be
deemed to have exercised reasonable care if it exercises at least the same degree of care as it
would exercise with respect to its own property. Except as specified in the preceding sentence,
the Secured Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral, including, without
limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce or preserve any rights pertaining
thereto.
(b) Eligibility to Hold Posted Collateral; Custodians.
(i) General. Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in Paragraph 13
for holding Posted Collateral, the Secured Party will be entitled to hold Posted Collateral
or to appoint an agent (a "Custodian") to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party.
Upon notice by the Secured Parry to the Pledgor of the appointment of a Custodian, the
Pledgor's obligations to make any Transfer will be discharged by making the Transfer to
that Custodian. The holding of Posted Collateral by a Custodian will be deemed to be the
holding of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party for which the Custodian is acting.
(ii) Failure to Satisfy Conditions. If the Secured Party or its Custodian fails to satisfy
conditions for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a demand made by the Pledgor, the
Secured Party will, not later than five Local Business Days after the demand, Transfer or
cause its Custodian to Transfer all Posted Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies
those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those conditions.
(iii) Liability. The Secured Party will be liable for the acts or omissions of its
Custodian to the same extent that the Secured Party would be liable hereunder for its own
acts or omissions.
(c) Use of Posted Collateral. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and without
limiting the rights and obligations of the parties under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5, 6(d) and 8, if the
Secured Party is not a Defaulting Party or an Affected Party with respect to a Specified Condition
and no Early Termination Date has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of
Default or Specified Condition with respect to the Secured Party, then the Secured Party will,
notwithstanding Section 9-207 of the New York Uniform Commercial Code, have the right to:
(i) sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose
of, or otherwise use in its business any Posted Collateral it holds, free from any claim or
right of any nature whatsoever of the Pledgor, including any equity or right of redemption
by the Pledgor; and
(ii) register any Posted Collateral in the name of the Secured Party, its Custodian or a
nominee for either.
For purposes of the obligation to Transfer Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support
pursuant to Paragraphs 3 and 5 and any rights or remedies authorized under this Agreement, the
Secured Party will be deemed to continue to hold all Posted Collateral and to receive
Distributions made thereon, regardless of whether the Secured Party has exercised any rights
with respect to any Posted Collateral pursuant to (i) or (ii) above.
(d) Distributions and Interest Amount.
(i) Distributions. Subject to Paragraph 4(a), if the Secured Party -receives or is
deemed to receive Distributions on a Local Business Day, it will Transfer to the Pledgor
not Iater than the following Business Day any Distributions it receives or is deemed to
receive to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that
Transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed
to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).
(ii) Interest Amount. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13 and subject to
Paragraph 4(a), in lieu of any interest, dividends or other amounts paid or deemed to have
been paid with respect to Posted Collateral in the form of Cash (all of which may be
retained by the Secured Party), the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor at the times
specified in Paragraph 13 the Interest Amount to the extent that a Delivery Amount would
not be created or increased by that Transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the
date of calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose). The Interest
Amount or portion thereof not Transferred pursuant to this Paragraph will constitute
Posted Collateral in the form of Cash and will be subject to the security interest granted
under Paragraph 2.
Paragraph 7. Events of Default
For purposes of Section 5(a)(iii)(1) of this Agreement, an Event of Default will exist with respect
to a party if.
(i) that parry fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any Transfer of
Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral or the Interest Amount, as applicable, required to be
made by it and that failure continues for two Local Business Days after notice of that
failure is given to that party;
(ii) that party fails to comply with any restriction or prohibition specified in this
Annex with respect to any of the rights specified in Paragraph 6(c) and that failure
continues for five Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that party; or
(iii) that party fails to comply with or perform any agreement or obligation other than
those specified in Paragraphs 7(i) and 7(ii) and that failure continues for 30 days after
notice of that failure is given to that party.

or more public or private sales or other dispositions with such notice, if any, as may be

Parry having the right to purchase any or all of the Posted Collateral to be sold) and to
apply the proceeds (or the Cash equivalent thereof) from the liquidation of the Posted
Collateral to any amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect to any Obligations in that
order as the Secured Party may elect.
Each party acknowledges and agrees that Posted Collateral in the form of securities may decline
speedily in value and is of a type customarily sold on a recognized market, and, accordingly, the
Pledgor is not entitled to prior notice of any sale of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party,
except any notice that is required under applicable law and cannot be waived.
(b) Pledgor's Rights and Remedies. If at any time an Early Termination Date has occurred
or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the

pursuant to (iii) above, the Pledgor may:

Obligations against any Posted Collateral or the Cash equivalent of any Posted
Collateral held by the Secured Party (or any obligation of the Secured Party to
Transfer that Posted Collateral); and
(B) to the extent that the Pledgor does not Set-off under (iv)(A) above,
withhold payment of any remaining amounts payable by the Pledgor with respect
to any Obligations, up to the Value of any remaining Posted Collateral held by the
Secured Party, until that Posted Collateral is Transferred to the Pledgor.
(c) Deficiencies and Excess Proceeds. The Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor any
proceeds and Posted Credit Support remaining after liquidation, Set-off and/or application under
Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b) after satisfaction in full of all amounts payable by the Pledgor with
respect to any Obligations; the Pledgor in all events will remain liable for any amounts remaining
unpaid after any liquidation, Set-off and/or application under Paragraphs 8(a) and 8(b).
(d) Final Returns. When no amounts are or thereafter may become payable by the Pledgor
with respect to any Obligations (except for any potential liability under Section 2(d) of this
Agreement), the Secured Party will Transfer to the Pledgor all Posted Credit Support and the
Interest Amount, if any.

of that Eligible Collateral gives the notices and takes the action required of it under
applicable law for perfection of that interest); and
(iv) the performance by it of its obligations under this Annex will not result in the
creation of any security interest, lien or other encumbrance on any Posted Collateral other
than the security interest and lien granted under Paragraph 2.
Paragraph 10. Expenses

pay its own costs and expenses in connection with performing its obligations under this Annex
and neither party will be liable for any costs and expenses incurred by the other parry in
