(the "Custodian") for and on behalf of Pa▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ities acceptable to Party A (together, the "Margin") in order to secure the obligations of Party B under all open FX Transactions and Options entered into under the Agreement. The amount of Margin which Party B shall maintain with Party A shall be determined by Party A in its reasonable judgment (which determination shall be conclusive in the absence of manifest error), on a risk adjusted basis, taking into account historical volatility, imputed volatility and/or such other factors as Party A reasonably deems relevant to this determination (the "Aggregate Margin Requirement"). On or prior to the date of the Agreement, Party B shall have established a special pledge account with the Custodian (the "Account") for the purpose of holding custody of the Margin for and on behalf of Party A in accordance with the provisions of the Custodian Account Addendum, dated the date hereof, and the Agreement.

If an Event of Default hereunder shall occur, then each of Party A and its affiliates shall be entitled to retain or sell all Collateral as security for Party B's obligations, even if otherwise required pursuant to the terms of an agreement or otherwise to deliver any Collateral to Party B or Party B's order.

Notwithstanding Section 9-207 of the UCC, each of Party A or any of its affiliates shall have free and unrestricted use of any Margin Collateral and/or Collateral which it holds hereunder or with the Custodian, including, without limitation, the right, from time to time and without notice to Party B, to sell, pledge, repledge, hypothecate, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise use in its business any Margin Collateral and/or Collateral separately or in common with other securities, commodities or other property, for the sum due to any of Party A or any of its affiliates or for a greater sum on terms which may otherwise impair the right of Party B to redeem such Margin Collateral and/or Collateral, and free from any other right of claim of any nature whatsoever of Party B, and without retaining possession and control for delivery a like amount of similar securities, commodities, or other property. (d) Party B represents and warrants that it owns the Margin Collateral and the Collateral to be pledged and assigned to each of Party A and its affiliates hereunder and under any other agreement between Party B and Party A or any of its affiliates, free and clear of any liens, equities, claims (including, without limitation, participation interests) and transfer restrictions. Party B covenants and agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Margin Collateral or the Collateral, nor will it create, incur or permit to exist any lien on or with respect to any of the Margin Collateral or the Collateral, any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the security interests created under this Agreement or otherwise under any agreement between Party B and Party A or any of its affiliates. Any purported sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, disposition, grant or lien of the Margin Collateral or the Collateral by Party B that is not permitted under the foregoing sentence shall be null and void and shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and under any agreement between Party B and Party A or any of its affiliates immediately prior to the taking of any such action, if Party A so deems (it being understood that there shall be no grace period with respect to obligations of Party B pursuant to this Part XX). (e) Party B shall, at its sole expense and as Party A in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable from time to time, undertake all such action as is necessary, (i) to create, preserve, protect and perfect the security interests granted under the Agreement, (ii) to enable Party A to exercise and enforce its rights with respect to such security interests, and (iii) execute and deliver all documents and instruments in such manner and form as Party A may require, including without limitation UCC financing statements and continuation statements. Party B hereby appoints Party A as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, including without limitation, to sign and file such documents and instruments on Party B's behalf and without Party B's signature; such appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable. Without limitation on the foregoing, Party B agrees to take such action as Party A in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable in the event of any change in applicable law, including, without limitation, Article 8 of the UCC and the Regulations of the Department of the Treasury governing transfers of interests in U.S. marketable treasury securities in book-entry form. (f) The parties hereto agree that each of the Account and any account in which any Collateral is held or to which any Collateral is credited (a "Collateral Account") is a "securities account" within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and that all property and assets (including, without limitation, cash) held in or credited to (i) the Account or (ii) any Collateral Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC.

Party B hereby appoints Party A as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, including without limitation, to sign and file such documents and instruments on Party B's behalf and without Party B's signature; such appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable. Without limitation on the foregoing, Party B agrees to take such action as Party A in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable in the event of any change in applicable law, including, without limitation, Article 8 of the UCC and the Regulations of the Department of the Treasury governing transfers of interests in U.S. marketable treasury securities in book-entry form.
(f) The parties hereto agree that each of the Account and any account in which any Collateral is held or to which any Collateral is credited (a "Collateral Account") is a "securities account" within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and that all property and assets (including, without limitation, cash) held in or credited to (i) the Account or (ii) any Collateral Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC.

(d) Party B represents and warrants that it owns the Margin Collateral and the Collateral to be pledged and assigned to each of Party A and its affiliates hereunder and under any other agreement between Party B and Party A or any of its affiliates, free and clear of any liens, equities, claims (including, without limitation, participation interests) and transfer restrictions. Party B covenants and agrees that it will not sell, assign, transfer, exchange or otherwise dispose of, or grant any option with respect to, any of the Margin Collateral or the Collateral, nor will it create, incur or permit to exist any lien on or with respect to any of the Margin Collateral or the Collateral, any interest therein, or any proceeds thereof, except for the security interests created under this Agreement or otherwise under any agreement between Party B and Party A or any of its affiliates. Any purported sale, assignment, transfer, exchange, disposition, grant or lien of the Margin Collateral or the Collateral by Party B that is not permitted under the foregoing sentence shall be null and void and shall constitute an Event of Default hereunder and under any agreement between Party B and Party A or any of its affiliates immediately prior to the taking of any such action, if Party A so deems (it being understood that there shall be no grace period with respect to obligations of Party B pursuant to this Part XX).
(e) Party B shall, at its sole expense and as Party A in its sole discretion may deem necessary or advisable from time to time, undertake all such action as is necessary, (i) to create, preserve, protect and perfect the security interests granted under the Agreement, (ii) to enable Party A to exercise and enforce its rights with respect to such security interests, and (iii) execute and deliver all documents and instruments in such manner and form as Party A may require, including without limitation UCC financing statements and continuation statements. Party B hereby appoints Party A as its true and lawful attorney-in-fact, including without limitation, to sign and file such documents and instruments on Party B's behalf and without Party B's signature; such appointment, being coupled with an interest, shall be irrevocable.

(f) The parties hereto agree that each of the Account and any account in which any Collateral is held or to which any Collateral is credited (a "Collateral Account") is a "securities account" within the meaning of Article 8 of the UCC and that all property and assets (including, without limitation, cash) held in or credited to (i) the Account or (ii) any Collateral Account shall be treated as a "financial asset" for purposes of Article 8 of the UCC.
