| 8. | Substitution |
| (a) | A Transaction may at any time between the Purchase Date and Repurchase Date, if Seller so requests and Buyer so agrees, be varied by the transfer by Buyer to Seller of Securities equivalent to the Purchased Securities, or to such of the Purchased Securities as shall be agreed, in exchange for the transfer by Seller to Buyer of other Securities of such amount and description as shall be agreed (“New Purchased Securities”) (being Securities having a Market Value at the date of the variation at least equal to the Market Value of the Equivalent Securities transferred to Seller). |
| (b) | Any variation under sub-paragraph (a) above shall be effected, subject to paragraph 6(d), by the simultaneous transfer of the Equivalent Securities and New Purchased Securities concerned. |
| (c) | A Transaction which is varied under sub-paragraph (a) above shall thereafter continue in effect as though the Purchased Securities under that Transaction consisted of or included the New Purchased Securities instead of the Securities in respect of which Equivalent Securities have been transferred to Seller. |
| (d) | Where either party has transferred Margin Securities to the other party it may at any time before Equivalent Margin Securities are transferred to it under paragraph 4 request the other party to transfer Equivalent Margin Securities to it in exchange for the transfer to the other party of new Margin Securities having a Market Value at the time of transfer at least equal to that of such Equivalent Margin Securities. If the other party agrees to the request, the exchange shall be effected, subject to paragraph 6(d), by the simultaneous transfer of the Equivalent Margin Securities and new Margin Securities concerned. Where either or both of such transfers is or are effected through a settlement system in circumstances which under the rules and procedures of that settlement system give rise to a payment by or for the account of one party to or for the account of the other party, the parties shall cause such payment or payments to be made outside that settlement system, for value the same day as the payments made through that settlement system, as shall ensure that the exchange of Equivalent Margin Securities and new Margin Securities effected under this sub-paragraph does not give rise to any net payment of cash by either party to the other. |

| (d) | If the party receiving the notice referred to in sub-paragraph (a) so elects, it may override that notice by giving a counter-notice to the other party. If a counter-notice is given, the party which gives the counter-notice will be deemed to have agreed to indemnify the other party against the adverse effect referred to in sub-paragraph (a) so far as relates to the relevant Transaction and the original Repurchase Date will continue to apply. |
| (e) | Where a Transaction is terminated as described in this paragraph, the party which has given the notice to terminate shall indemnify the other party against any reasonable legal and other professional expenses incurred by the other party by reason of the termination, but the other party may not claim any sum by way of consequential loss or damage in respect of a termination in accordance with this paragraph. |
| (f) | This paragraph is without prejudice to paragraph 6(b) (obligation to pay additional amounts if withholding or deduction required); but an obligation to pay such additional amounts may, where appropriate, be a circumstance which causes this paragraph to apply. |

Accordingly, money that is received and held by ▇▇▇▇▇ from Seller will not be held in accordance with the provisions of the FCA’s Client Asset Sourcebook relating to client money (the “Client Money Rules”) and will not be subject to the statutory trust provided for under the Client Money Rules. In particular, Buyer shall not segregate money received by it from Seller from Buyer money and Buyer shall not be liable to account to Seller for any profits made by Buyer use as banker of such cash and upon failure of Buyer, the client money distribution rules within the Client Asset Sourcebook (the “Client Money Distribution Rules”) will not apply to these sums and so Seller will not be entitled to share in any distribution under the Client Money Distribution Rules. |

| 23. | Intent |
| (a) | It is understood that either party’s right to liquidate Purchased Securities delivered to it in connection with Repurchase Transactions hereunder or to exercise any other remedies pursuant to Paragraph 10 hereof is a contractual right to liquidate such Repurchase Transaction as described in Section 555 of the Bankruptcy Code. |
| (b) | The parties agree and acknowledge that if a party hereto is an “insured depository institution,” as such term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended (“FDIA”), then each Repurchase Transaction hereunder is a “qualified financial contract,” as that term is defined in FDIA and any rules, orders or policy statements thereunder (except insofar as the type of assets subject to such Repurchase Transaction would render such definition inapplicable). |
32
| (c) | It is understood that this Agreement constitutes a “netting contract” as defined in and subject to Title IV of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (“FDICIA”) and each payment entitlement and payment obligation under any Repurchase Transaction hereunder shall constitute a “covered contractual payment entitlement” or “covered contractual payment obligation”, respectively, as defined in and subject to FDICIA (except insofar as one or both of the parties is not a “financial institution” as that term is defined in FDICIA). |
| (d) | The parties recognize that each of the Repurchase Transactions and this Agreement is a “securities contract” as that term is defined in Section 741 of the Bankruptcy Code, or a “qualified financial contract” as that term is defined in the Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as applicable, and a “master netting agreement” as that term is defined in Section 101 of the Bankruptcy Code. |
| (e) | The parties intend and agree that (1) that each payment under this Agreement has been made by, to or for the benefit of a financial institution as defined in Section 101(22) of the Bankruptcy Code, a financial participant as defined in Section 101(22A) of the Bankruptcy Code, a “master netting agreement participant,” as defined in Section 101(38B) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (2) payments under this Agreement are deemed “margin payments” or “settlement payments,” as defined in Sections 101 and 741(5) of the Bankruptcy Code or transfers made by or to (or for the benefit of) a financial institution or financial participant in connection with a securities contract or repurchase agreement. |
| (f) | The parties further intend and agree that: (1) Buyer is (for so long as Buyer is a “financial institution,” “financial participant” or other entity listed in Sections 555, 559, 561, 362(b)(6), 362(b)(7) or 362(b)(27) of the Bankruptcy Code) entitled to, without limitation, the liquidation, termination, acceleration, set-off, and non-avoidability rights afforded to parties, such as Buyer, who are parties to a “securities contract” pursuant to Sections 555, 362(b)(6) and 546(c) of the Bankruptcy Code; and a “master netting agreement” pursuant to Section 561, 362(b)(27) and 546(j) of the Bankruptcy Code; and (2) Buyer’s right to liquidate the Purchased Securities delivered to it in connection with the Repurchase Transactions hereunder or to accelerate or terminate the Agreement or otherwise exercise any other remedies herein is a contractual right to liquidate, accelerate or terminate such Repurchase Transaction as described in Sections 555, 559 and 561 of the Bankruptcy Code. The parties also recognize, intend and agree that the Agreement is an agreement to provide financial accommodations and is not subject to assumption pursuant to Section 365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code. |
| (g) | With respect to the Guaranty provided by the Guarantors, the parties intend and agreed that the Guaranty is intended to constitute a security agreement or other arrangement or other credit enhancement related to this Agreement and Repurchase Transactions hereunder as defined under Sections 101(38)(A) and 741(7)(A)(xi) of the Bankruptcy Code. |
33
| (h) | Each party agrees that this Agreement is intended to create mutuality of obligations among the parties, and as such, this Agreement constitutes a contract which (i) is between all of the parties and (ii) places each party in the same right and capacity. |
| (i) | Each party agrees that it shall not challenge the characterization of this Agreement or any Repurchase Transaction as a securities contract and master netting agreement under the Bankruptcy Code. |
| (j) | Each party agrees that this Agreement and the Repurchase Transactions entered into hereunder are part of an integrated, simultaneously-closing suite of financial contracts. |
| 29. | Security Interest Matters. For purposes of the Repurchase Transactions contemplated by this Annex, the Agreement is hereby amended by adding the following as a new Paragraph 24: |
| “24. | Security Interest. |
Although the parties intend that all Repurchase Transactions hereunder be sales and purchases and not loans (other than for U.S. federal income tax purposes), in the event any such Repurchase Transactions are deemed to be loans, and given that Seller is organized under the laws of Delaware, Seller shall be deemed to have pledged and does hereby pledge to Buyer as security for the performance by Seller of its obligations under each such Repurchase Transaction, and shall be deemed to have granted and does hereby grant to Buyer a security interest in, all of the related Purchased Securities with respect to all Repurchase Transactions hereunder and all Income thereon and other proceeds thereof.”
| 30. | Margin Maintenance Matters. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of Paragraph 4(c) of the Agreement, Seller shall be deemed to not have Net Exposure in respect of Buyer at any time. |
| 31. | Tax Matters. Each party to this Agreement acknowledges that it is its intent for purposes of U.S. federal and applicable state and local income taxes, to treat each Repurchase Transaction as indebtedness of Seller that is secured by the Purchased Securities and the Purchased Securities as owned by Seller for U.S. federal and applicable state and local income tax purposes in the absence of an Event of Default by Seller. All parties to this Agreement agree to such treatment and agree to take no action inconsistent with this treatment, unless required by applicable law. |
