Any electronic message sent by the Investment Manager to JPMC pursuant to Part 6 of the Master Agreement in respect of a Designated Transaction shall constitute notice of the Material Terms of such Designated Transaction for the purposes of this provision.

(b) If an ET System makes available to JPMC, either directly or through a separate trade communication system, the record of the Material Terms of any ETS Transaction entered into thereon by the Investment Manager, a Fund, or, if applicable, a Designated Third Party, or the Investment Manager’s authorized trading agent or Client, the Investment Manager is not required to notify JPMC of the Material Terms of any such ETS Transaction hereunder. The Fund shall be bound by any record of Material Terms of an ETS Transaction that the relevant ET System makes available to JPMC.

5.

(b) JPMC may, from time to time in its sole discretion, cancel Qualifying Transactions and simultaneously replace such Qualifying Transactions with a new transaction (a “Novated Transaction”) for the same Settlement Date or Bullion Transaction Settlement Date, as the case may be, under which each party shall be obligated to deliver the aggregate of the amounts of the type of currency or Bullion, as the case may be, that would otherwise have been deliverable by such party on the relevant Settlement Date or Bullion Transaction Settlement Date, as the case may be, under such Qualifying Transactions. Except as otherwise provided, each Novated

(d) Each Offsetting Transaction and Novated Transaction with the Fund shall be governed by the Master Agreement. The Fund shall execute and return to JPMC any Confirmation of an Offsetting Transaction or Novated Transaction delivered by JPMC to the Fund. The Fund shall, in any event, be liable in respect of each Offsetting Transaction or Novated Transaction between the Fund and JPMC notwithstanding the absence of a Confirmation thereof.

(e) On the Expiration Date of a Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Option that is an Offsetting Transaction and either a Designated Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction which is a physically-settled option, and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the relevant Confirmation, such Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Option shall be deemed to be an expired out of the money option with zero value. If the relevant Dealer or ETS Counterparty chooses to exercise any physically-settled Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Option that formed part of a Designated Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction in which JPMC was the Seller and corresponded to an Offsetting Transaction within the applicable Exercise Period, the Investment Manager and/or the Fund shall notify JPMC immediately of such Notice of Exercise. The Investment Manager and/or the Fund is authorized to exercise on behalf of JPMC any physically-settled Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Transaction of which JPMC was the Buyer and that formed part of an Offsetting Transaction and corresponded to a Designated Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction within the applicable Exercise Period. The Investment Manager and/or the Fund shall simultaneously deliver any Notice of Exercise sent to the relevant Dealer or ETS Counterparty to JPMC. In the event either the Dealer, ETS Counterparty or Investment Manager and/or the Fund chooses to exercise a physically-settled Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Option in accordance with the above provisions, the Dealer or ETS Counterparty and the Investment Manager and/or the Fund shall be required to enter into a new, spot Designated Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction and submit such transaction to JPMC in accordance with the terms set forth in the Give-Up Agreement and this Agreement, as applicable.

within the applicable Exercise Period, the Investment Manager and/or the Fund shall notify JPMC immediately of such Notice of Exercise or such notice of expiration. The Investment Manager and/or the Fund is authorized to exercise on behalf of JPMC any cash-settled Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Transaction of which JPMC was the Buyer and that formed part of an Offsetting Transaction and corresponded to a Designated Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction within the applicable Exercise Period. The Investment Manager and/or the Fund shall simultaneously deliver any Notice of Exercise sent by the Investment Manager and/or the Fund to the relevant Dealer or ETS Counterparty to JPMC, or, where applicable, any notice of expiration.

(f) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any Confirmation of an Offsetting Transaction and notwithstanding whether JPMC or the Fund is the Calculation Agent in respect of an Offsetting Transaction or Seller in respect of an Offsetting Transaction that is a Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Option, any determination, election, or calculation (i) by the Dealer, Counterparty, or ETS Counterparty as Calculation Agent or by JPMC and the Dealer, Counterparty, or ETS Counterparty as co-Calculation Agents in respect of a Designated Transaction, Corresponding Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction shall be binding on JPMC and the Fund under the corresponding Offsetting Transaction as if made by the Calculation Agent under such Offsetting Transaction, (ii) by the Dealer, Counterparty, or ETS Counterparty as Seller in respect of a Designated Transaction, Corresponding Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction that is a Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Option shall be binding on JPMC and the Fund under the corresponding Offsetting Transaction as if made by the Seller under such Offsetting Transaction or Disclosed ETS Transaction or (iii) by the Dealer, Counterparty, or ETS Counterparty as the party determining whether a barrier has been breached or met in respect of a Designated Transaction, Corresponding Transaction, or Disclosed ETS Transaction that is a Currency Option Transaction or Bullion Option shall be binding on JPMC and the Fund under the corresponding Offsetting Transaction as if made by the relevant party under such Offsetting Transaction.

(g) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following shall apply if JPMC and the Fund are not parties to a Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Forward FX Transactions: if, on the Trade Date of an Offsetting Transaction or Direct Transaction that is a Non-Deliverable FX Transaction (a “NDF Transaction”), template terms for the Confirmation of a NDF Transaction in the Currency Pair that is the subject of such Offsetting Transaction or Direct Transaction, as the case may be, are recommended by EMTA, Inc. (“EMTA”) or a recognized successor and have an effective date that falls on or before such Trade Date (“Relevant NDF EMTA Template”), then all of the terms of such Relevant NDF EMTA Template (published and available at xxx.xxxx.xxx or any successor website) shall apply to such Offsetting Transaction or Direct Transaction, as the case may be, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by JPMC and the Fund. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following shall apply if JPMC and the Fund are not parties to a Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Currency Option Transactions (European Style) between them: if, on the Trade Date of an Offsetting

For the avoidance of doubt, if a Relevant EMTA NDF Template in the case of a NDF Transaction or Relevant Option EMTA Template in the case of a NDO Transaction becomes effective after the Trade Date of an Offsetting Transaction or Direct Transaction, such Relevant EMTA Template or Relevant Option EMTA Template, as the case may be, shall not apply to or amend the terms of the relevant Offsetting Transaction or Direct Transaction, as the case may be, unless otherwise agreed between JPMC and the Fund.

(h) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to all Offsetting Transaction and Direct Transactions that are Bullion Trades and Bullion Options, (i) Settlement by Delivery, (ii) Bullion Business Days, (iii) a Delivery Location of London for Bullion Trades and Bullion Options, will be deemed to apply.

(i) If, at any time, the Net Open Position in respect of a Dealer exceeds the applicable Net Open Position Limit or the Bullion NOP in respect of a Dealer exceeds the applicable Bullion NOP Limit, JPMC may, by notice to the Investment Manager and the Fund, terminate any Offsetting Transaction(s) and/or any portions thereof with the Fund as JPMC selects in its discretion such that after termination, the Net Open Position in respect of the relevant Dealer would no longer exceed the applicable Net Open Position Limit and the Bullion NOP in respect of the relevant Dealer would no longer exceed the applicable Bullion NOP Limit. If, at any time, the net open position (howsoever described in, and as calculated in a Reverse Give-In Agreement) exceeds the applicable net open position limit (howsoever described in a Reverse Give-In Agreement), JPMC may, by notice to the Investment Manager or the Fund, terminate any Offsetting Transaction(s) as JPMC selects in its discretion such that if the Corresponding Transaction(s) were terminated, the net open position would no longer exceed the applicable net open position limit. If, at any time, the net open position (howsoever described in, and as calculated in a Double Give Up Agreement) exceeds the applicable net open position limit (howsoever described in a Double Give Up Agreement), JPMC may, by notice to the Investment Manager, terminate any Offsetting Transaction(s) as JPMC selects in its discretion such that if the corresponding Double Give Up Transaction(s) were terminated, the net open position would no longer exceed the applicable net open position limit. If the Investment Manager enters into any Non-Conforming ETS Transaction that is a Disclosed ETS Transaction, JPMC may, by notice to the Investment Manager or the Fund, terminate the corresponding Offsetting Transaction or portions thereof. If the Investment Manager enters into any Non-Conforming ETS Transaction that is a Direct Transaction, JPMC may, by notice to the Investment Manager or the Fund, terminate such Direct Transaction or portions thereof.

If, at any time, the FX NOP exceeds the FX NOP Limit, and/or the Fund Bullion NOP exceeds the Bullion NOP Limit, JPMC may, by notice to the Investment Manager and the Fund, terminate any Offsetting Transaction(s), Direct Transaction(s), and/or Novated Transaction(s) or portions thereof as JPMC selects in its discretion such that, after such termination, the FX NOP would no longer exceed the FX NOP Limit, and/or the Bullion NOP would no longer exceed the Bullion NOP Limit. A payment shall be made by JPMC or the Fund, as the case may be, in respect of any Offsetting Transaction(s), Direct Transaction(s), and/or Novated Transaction(s) or portions thereof terminated pursuant to this subsection as if an Additional Termination Event had occurred under the Master Agreement, in respect of which the Fund was the sole Affected Party and the terminated Offsetting Transaction(s), Direct Transaction(s), and/or Novated Transaction(s) or portions thereof were Affected Transaction(s) (terms used in this sentence without definition have the meanings set forth in the Master Agreement).

(j) If JPMC is notified by the relevant ETS Counterparty within thirty (30) minutes after such ETS Counterparty has entered into a Disclosed ETS Transaction with the Investment Manager or, if applicable, a Designated Third Party or the Investment Manager’s authorized trading agent or Client on an ET System that such Disclosed ETS Transaction had been entered into at an off-market rate mistakenly entered by such ETS Counterparty on such ET System, (i) JPMC and such ETS Counterparty may agree to adjust the rate applicable to such Disclosed ETS Transaction to what they agree to be a market rate, (ii) the rate applicable to the corresponding Offsetting Transaction(s) shall be automatically deemed to have been adjusted in the same manner and any other terms of such Offsetting Transaction(s) affected by such rate adjustment shall be revised by JPMC accordingly, and (iii) JPMC shall promptly notify the Investment Manager of any such adjustment and revision. If the Investment Manager or, if applicable, a Designated Third Party or the Investment Manager’s authorized trading agent or Client enters into an ETS Transaction that is a Direct Transaction and JPMC determines that such ETS Transaction had been entered into at an off-market rate mistakenly entered by JPMC or a third party on such ET System, (x) JPMC may adjust the rate applicable to such ETS Transaction to what JPMC determines in good faith to be a market rate, (y) any other terms of such Direct Transaction affected by such rate adjustment shall be revised by JPMC accordingly, and (z) JPMC shall promptly notify the Investment Manager of any such adjustment and revision.

6. (a) In respect of each Calculation Period, the Fund shall pay to JPMC a fee in an amount equal to USD5 per each USD1,000,000 of the applicable Calculation Period Aggregate Amount, pro rated if the applicable Calculation Period Aggregate Amount is not an integral multiple of USD1,000,000 (the “Calculation Period Fee Amount”). JPMC may amend the amount of such fees and/or impose new fees or a new fee methodology by at least ninety (90) days’ prior notice to the Investment Manager or each Fund.

(b) JPMC shall notify the Investment Manager or the Fund of the fee in respect of each Calculation Period. The Fund shall pay to JPMC the amount of any such fee on or before the fifth New York Business Day after the Investment Manager’s or

the Fund’s receipt of the applicable notice. Each such payment to be made by the Fund shall be made by wire transfer, or its equivalent, of immediately available and freely transferable funds to the bank account designated by JPMC for such purpose.

(c) In addition to any other rights or remedies of JPMC provided hereunder or otherwise provided by law, JPMC shall have the right upon notice to the Fund (any such notice being expressly waived to the extent permitted by applicable law) upon any amount becoming due and payable by the Fund to (i) debit any account, in any currency, of the Fund in such amount or the equivalent thereof and (ii) set-off and apply against any such amount any and all deposits (whether general or special, time or demand, provisional or final), in any currency, and any other credits, indebtedness, or claims, in any currency, in each case whether direct or indirect, absolute or contingent, matured or unmatured, at any time held or owing by JPMC to or for the credit or the account of the Fund. JPMC agrees to notify the Fund promptly after any such debit, set-off, or application made by JPMC, provided, however, that failure to give such notice shall not affect the validity of such set-off, debit, or application. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation of the Fund to pay fees and the ability of JPMC to amend the amount of such fees and/or impose new fees or a new fee methodology in accordance with Section 6(a) will survive the termination of this Agreement with respect to outstanding Offsetting Transactions and Direct Transactions. If, at any time, the Fund fails to pay any fees with respect to sub-section (a) above and such failure continues for ninety (90) days after payment of such fees is due, JPMC may, by notice to the Fund, terminate all Offsetting Transaction(s) between JPMC and the Fund. A payment shall be made by JPMC or the Fund, as the case may be, in respect of Offsetting Transaction(s) terminated pursuant to this subsection (c) as if an Additional Termination Event had occurred under the Master Agreement in respect of which the Fund was the sole Affected Party and the terminated Offsetting Transaction(s) were Affected Transaction(s) (terms used in this sentence without definition have the meaning set forth in the Master Agreement).

7. Each party represents and warrants to the other parties as of the date of this Agreement and as of the date of the entry into each Offsetting Transaction and, in the case of the Investment Manager, as of the date of the entry into each Designated Transaction, Reverse Dealer Transaction, and ETS Transaction that: (i) it has authority to enter into this Agreement and such Offsetting Transaction (in the case of the Investment Manager, on behalf of the Fund) and, in the case of the Investment Manager, such Designated Transaction, Reverse Dealer Transaction, or ETS Transaction; (ii) the persons executing this Agreement and entering into such Offsetting Transaction (and, in the case of the Investment Manager, such Designated Transaction, Reverse Dealer Transaction, or ETS Transaction) have been duly authorized to do so; and (iii) this Agreement is binding upon it and enforceable against it in accordance with its terms (subject to applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and subject, as to enforceability, to equitable principles of general application (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in a proceeding in equity or at law)) and does not and will not violate the terms of any agreements to which such party is bound.

8. No party may assign, transfer, or charge or purport to assign, transfer, or charge, any of its rights or its obligations under this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the other parties, and any purported assignment, transfer, or charge in violation of this Section 8 shall be void.

9. The parties agree that each party may electronically record all telephonic conversations between any parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and that any such tape recordings may be submitted in evidence in any Proceedings or in any suit, action, or other proceeding relating to any Offsetting Transaction.

10. Unless otherwise agreed or set forth herein, all notices, instructions and other communications to be given to a party under this Agreement shall be given electronically (through e-mail, an ET System or otherwise), or to the address, facsimile number, or telephone number specified by such party on the signature page hereof (or such other contact details of which such party notifies the other parties.) Each notice, instruction, or communication hereunder shall be effective upon receipt; provided, however, that if a notice, instruction, or communication is received by JPMC (i) in New York, after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a New York Business Day or on a day that is not a New York Business Day, such notice shall be effective on the immediately succeeding New York Business Day at 9:00 a.m. (New York time), (ii) in New York, before 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on a New York Business Day, such notice shall be effective at 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on that New York Business Day, (iii) in London, after 5:00 p.m. (London time) on a London Business Day or on a day that is not a London Business Day, such notice shall be effective on the immediately succeeding London Business Day at 9:00 a.m. (London time), and (iv) in London, before 9:00 a.m. (London time) on a London Business Day, such notice shall be effective at 9:00 a.m. (London time) on that London Business Day.

11. This Agreement (i) may be terminated by either JPMC, the Investment Manager, or the Fund at any time upon thirty (30) Business Days’ written notice to the other parties and (ii) shall automatically terminate with respect to the Fund upon the designation of an Early Termination Date under the Master Agreement as the result of the occurrence of an Event of Default in respect of which the Fund is the Defaulting Party or a Termination Event in respect of which the Fund is the sole Affected Party (terms used in this subsection (ii) shall have the meanings set forth in the Master Agreement); provided, however, that any termination pursuant to subsections (i) or (ii) immediately above shall not affect any outstanding Designated Transactions, ETS Transactions, Corresponding Transactions, Double Give Up Transactions, Novated Transactions or Offsetting Transactions entered into in accordance with this Agreement and any fees payable by the Fund in respect thereof, and the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply in respect of such Designated Transactions, ETS Transactions, Corresponding Transactions, Double Give Up Transactions, Novated Transactions, or Offsetting Transactions, and fees until all obligations of each party to the other parties under this Agreement have been fully performed.

12. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, the

validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions under the law of such jurisdiction, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of such and any other provisions under the law of any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

13. No indulgence or concession granted by a party and no omission or delay on the part of a party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

14. No amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing executed by each of the parties.

15. The Fund agrees to indemnify JPMC against, and hold JPMC harmless from, all costs, losses, judgments, and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) (collectively, “Indemnified Costs”) incurred by JPMC as a result of the failure of the Investment Manager or the Fund to comply with this Agreement or the Investment Manager’s acting as Agent or use of any ET System, or as a result of the actions or inactions of a Designated Third Party, Reverse Dealer, Counterparty, ETS Counterparty, or Double Give Up Dealer arising out of or in any way connected to this Agreement, except to the extent that such Indemnified Costs directly result from the gross negligence, fraud or willful misconduct of JPMC. This Section 15 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

16. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws provisions. With respect to any Proceedings, each party irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes a 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.

17. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceedings.

18. 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. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all oral communications and prior writings with respect thereto.

In consideration of the representations and premises set forth herein, JPMC and the Dealer hereby agree as follows:

1. All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings set forth in the 1998 FX and Currency Option Definitions (published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., the Emerging Markets Traders Association and The Foreign Exchange Committee). The following terms shall have the following meanings:

(ii) for each Designated Bullion Trade Transaction, (x) determine the Dollar Value for each type of Bullion owed by the Dealer to JPMC or owed by JPMC to the Dealer under such Designated Bullion Trade Transaction, (y) for each type of Bullion, determine the net Dollar Value amount owed by the Dealer to JPMC or owed by JPMC to the Dealer by summing the Dollar Values of all long and short positions in such Bullion as determined pursuant to subclause (x) immediately above, and (z) aggregate (without netting) the amounts determined pursuant to subclause (y) immediately above in respect of types of Bullion with respect to which the Dealer owes a net amount to JPMC plus the amounts determined pursuant to subclause (y) immediately above in respect of types of Bullion with respect to which JPMC owes a net amount to the Dealer; and

The spot market rate shall be determined by JPMC (in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) to be the spot market rate available to JPMC at such time in a foreign exchange or Bullion market, as the case may be, reasonably selected by JPMC in which the currency or Bullion is traded. If JPMC is unable to obtain a spot market rate pursuant to the immediately preceding sentence, JPMC will determine the applicable rate in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.

“Proceedings” means any suit, action or other proceedings relating to this Agreement.

2. (a) JPMC may, from time to time, authorize an entity designated as an Agent in a Designation Notice to enter into the types of transactions (the “Designated Transactions”) set forth in the applicable Designation Notice on its behalf with the Dealer. Such authorization shall be subject to the restrictions specified in the applicable Designation Notice in respect of the relevant Designated Transactions (including, without limitation, restrictions relating to Permitted Currencies, Permitted Bullion Types, and Maximum Tenor). Not in limitation of any other restrictions on Designated Transactions, any such authorization in respect of any particular Agent to enter into Designated Transactions on behalf of JPMC is expressly limited to a Net Daily Settlement Amount not to exceed the Settlement Limit and a Net Open Position not to exceed the Net Open Position Limit and a Bullion NOP not to exceed the Bullion NOP Limit set forth in the applicable Designation Notice. Such Settlement Limit, Net Open Position Limit, and Bullion NOP Limit shall apply only to Designated Transactions entered into by such Agent on behalf of JPMC with the Dealer.

(b) Each Designation Notice shall supplement, be governed by, and form a part of this Agreement.

3. JPMC may at any time in its sole discretion, by notice to the Dealer, amend the terms of any Designation Notice or terminate the authority of any Agent. Any such notice by JPMC shall be effective one (1) hour after receipt thereof by the Dealer and shall not affect any Designated Transactions entered into by the Agent on behalf of JPMC with the Dealer before JPMC’s notice becomes effective.

4. The Dealer shall promptly notify JPMC of the Material Terms of each Designated Transaction entered into by an Agent on behalf of JPMC and the identity of such Agent by Reuters, e-mail, or such other method(s) to which JPMC and the Dealer mutually agree (or by means of telephonic communication if Reuters or any agreed alternative

method is not available or operational) (a “Dealer Notice”). The Dealer acknowledges that (i) each Agent has agreed to provide a notice (an “Agent Notice”) to JPMC of the Material Terms of each Designated Transaction entered into by such Agent on behalf of JPMC, setting forth the Material Terms and the identity of the relevant Dealer, and (ii) JPMC has no liability for the failure of any Agent to provide an Agent Notice.

5. JPMC and the Dealer agree that JPMC will only be liable for a Designated Transaction if (i) such Designated Transaction is of the type, and otherwise complies with the restrictions, set forth in the Designation Notice relating to the Agent entering into such Designated Transaction, (ii) giving effect to such Designated Transaction will not cause the Net Daily Settlement Amount to exceed or further exceed the applicable Settlement Limit or the Net Open Position to exceed or further exceed the applicable Net Open Position Limit (without the written consent of JPMC) or the Bullion NOP to exceed or further exceed the applicable Bullion NOP Limit, (iii) the Dealer and such Agent have agreed to the Material Terms of such Designated Transaction, (iv) such Designated Transaction has been booked by the Dealer at a Specified Office identified in the applicable Designation Notice, and (v) JPMC has received an Agent Notice and Dealer Notice in respect of such Designated Transaction setting forth matching Material Terms.

6. JPMC shall notify the Dealer within two hours after JPMC’s receipt of the later of the Agent Notice or the Dealer Notice if (i) the Material Terms set forth in the Agent Notice differ from the Material Terms set forth in the Dealer Notice or (ii) JPMC is not liable for such Designated Transaction because the Designated Transaction does not satisfy the criteria set forth in subsections (i) through (v) of Section 5. JPMC shall notify the Dealer within three hours after JPMC’s receipt of the Dealer Notice if JPMC does not receive an Agent Notice in respect of such Designated Transaction.

7. (a) Each Designated Transaction entered into hereunder shall be confirmed by the Dealer and JPMC to each other in accordance with their standard practice and shall be subject to the Master Agreement identified in the applicable Designation Notice. [For the avoidance of doubt, each Designated Transaction shall be subject to the Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Forward FX Transactions [and the Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Currency Option Transactions] between JPMC and the Dealer.] No Agent may make or receive deliveries of currencies or Bullion on behalf of JPMC, or give any directions in respect of deliveries of currencies or Bullion, in connection with any Designated Transaction. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in a Confirmation of any Designated Option Transaction or Designated Bullion Option Transaction, any such Designated Option Transaction or Designated Bullion Option Transaction may be exercised by JPMC or the Agent that entered into such Designated Option Transaction or Designated Bullion Option Transaction on behalf of JPMC. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, with respect to Designated Bullion Trade Transactions and Designated Bullion Option Transactions, unless the parties otherwise agree in writing, (i) Settlement by Delivery will be deemed to apply for all Designated Transactions, and (ii) the Delivery Location for Designated Transactions entered into by the relevant Agent on our behalf will be London, England.

[(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the following shall apply if JPMC and the Dealer are not parties to a Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Forward FX Transactions: if, on the Trade Date of a Designated Transaction that is a Non-Deliverable FX Transaction (a “NDF Transaction”), template terms for the Confirmation of a NDF Transaction in the Currency Pair that is the subject of such Designated Transaction are recommended by EMTA, Inc. (“EMTA”) or a recognized successor and have an effective date that falls on or before such Trade Date (“Relevant NDF EMTA Template”), then all of the terms of such Relevant NDF EMTA Template (published and available at xxx.xxxx.xxx or any successor website) shall apply to such Designated Transaction, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by JPMC and the Dealer.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the following shall apply if JPMC and the Dealer are not parties to a Master Confirmation Agreement for Non-Deliverable Currency Option Transactions (European Style) between them: if, on the Trade Date of a Designated Transaction that is a Non-Deliverable Currency Option Transaction (a “NDO Transaction”), template terms for the Confirmation of a NDO Transaction in the Currency Pair that is the subject of such Designated Transaction are recommended by EMTA or a recognized successor and have an effective date that falls on or before such Trade Date (“Relevant Option EMTA Template”), then all of the terms of such Relevant Option EMTA Template (published and available at xxx.xxxx.xxx or any successor website) shall apply to such Designated Transaction, except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by JPMC and the Dealer. For the avoidance of doubt, if a Relevant EMTA NDF Template in the case of a NDF Transaction or Relevant Option EMTA Template in the case of a NDO Transaction becomes effective after the Trade Date of an Designated Transaction, such Relevant NDF EMTA Template or Relevant Option EMTA Template, as the case may be, shall not apply to or amend the terms of the relevant Designated Transaction, unless otherwise agreed between JPMC and the Dealer.]

8. For the purpose of calculating Net Daily Settlement Amount and Net Open Position, a Designated Option Transaction sold by JPMC and owned by the Dealer shall be discharged and terminated together with a Designated Option Transaction sold by the Dealer and owned by JPMC upon satisfying the following criteria:

(i)

each Designated Option Transaction being with respect to the same Put Currency and 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 Options or both being European Style Options;

(iv)

each having the same Strike Price;

(v)

each being transacted by the same pair of offices of the Dealer and JPMC; and

(vi)

neither of which shall have been exercised by delivery of a Notice of Exercise.

Where the relevant Designated Option Transactions are for different amounts of the Currency Pair, such Designated Option Transactions shall be partially discharged and terminated for the purpose of calculating Net Daily Settlement Amount and Net Open Position.

9.

10. Neither party may assign, transfer, or charge or purport to assign, transfer, or charge, any of its rights or its obligations under this Agreement or any interest therein without the prior written consent of the other party, and any purported assignment, transfer, or charge in violation of this Section 10 shall be void.

11. The parties agree that each party may electronically record all telephonic conversations between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and that any such tape recordings may be submitted in evidence in any Proceedings.

Unless otherwise agreed, all notices, instructions and other communications to be given to a party under this Agreement shall be given electronically (over e-mail or otherwise), or to the address, facsimile number, Reuters address, or telephone number specified by such party on the signature page hereof (or such other contact details of which one party notifies the other party). Each notice, instruction, or communication hereunder (including without limitation, any Agent Notice or Dealer Notice) shall be effective upon receipt; provided, however, that if a notice, instruction, or communication is received by JPMC (i) in New York, after 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a New York Business Day or on a day that is not a New York Business Day, such notice shall be effective on the immediately succeeding New York Business Day, (ii) in New York, before 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on a New York Business Day, such notice shall be effective at 9:00 a.m. (New York time) on that New York Business Day, (iii) in London, after 5:00 p.m. (London time) on a London Business Day or on a day that is not a London Business Day, such notice shall be effective on the immediately succeeding London Business Day, and (iv) in London, before 9:00 a.m. (London time) on a London Business Day, such notice shall be effective at 9:00 a.m. (London time) on that London Business Day.

14. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect under the law of any jurisdiction, the validity, legality, and enforceability of the remaining provisions under the law of such jurisdiction, and the validity, legality, and enforceability of such and any other provisions under the law of any other jurisdiction, shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

15. No indulgence or concession granted by a party and no omission or delay on the part of a party in exercising any right, power, or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.

16. No amendment, modification, or waiver of this Agreement will be effective unless in writing executed by each of the parties.

17. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to conflict of laws provisions. With respect to any Proceedings, each party irrevocably (i) submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York and the United States District Court located in the Borough of Manhattan in New York City and (ii) waives any objection which it may have at any time to the laying of venue of any Proceedings brought in any such court, waives any claim that such Proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum and further waives the right to object, with respect to such Proceedings, that such court does not have jurisdiction over such party. Nothing in this Agreement precludes a 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.

18. Each party hereby irrevocably waives any and all right to trial by jury in any Proceedings.

19. 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.
