Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

JPM Financing
 
On February 15, 2012, FS Investment Corporation (“FSIC”), through its two wholly-owned, special purpose bankruptcy-remote subsidiaries, Locust Street Funding LLC (“Locust Street”) and Race Street Funding LLC (“Race Street”), amended its debt financing arrangement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., London Branch (“JPM”) to increase the amount of debt financing available under the arrangement from $300 million to $400 million.
 
In connection with the increase in the amount available under the debt financing arrangement, FSIC may sell from time to time additional loans in its portfolio having an aggregate market value of approximately $200 million to Locust Street pursuant to the asset transfer agreement, dated as of July 21, 2011, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto, dated as of February 15, 2012 (the “Asset Transfer Agreement Amendment”), between FSIC and Locust Street.  As a result of the Asset Transfer Agreement Amendment, FSIC may sell an aggregate of $800 million in loans to Locust Street.  In addition, Locust Street and Citibank, N.A., as trustee, entered into Supplemental Indenture No. 1, dated as of February 15, 2012 (the “Supplemental Indenture”), to the Indenture, dated as of July 21, 2011, between Locust Street and Citibank, N.A., pursuant to which the aggregate principal amount of Class A Floating Rate Notes (“Class A Notes”) to be issued by Locust Street from time to time to Race Street was increased from $420 million to $560 million.
 
Pursuant to the transactions, Race Street and JPM entered into the Amended and Restated Confirmation, dated as of February 15, 2012 (the “A&R Confirmation” and together with the master repurchase agreement and related annex, each dated as of July 21, 2011, the “Amended JPM Facility”), which amends and restates the confirmation dated as of July 21, 2011, to increase the maximum aggregate principal amount of Class A Notes that may be purchased and sold under the Amended JPM Facility from $420 million to $560 million.  Pursuant to this facility, JPM has agreed to purchase from time to time Class A Notes held by Race Street for an aggregate purchase price equal to approximately 71% of the principal amount of Class A Notes purchased. Accordingly, the maximum amount payable at any time by JPM to Race Street under the Amended JPM Facility has increased from $300 million to $400 million.
 
No other material terms of this financing arrangement with JPM changed in connection with the Asset Transfer Agreement Amendment, the Supplemental Indenture or the A&R Confirmation .
 
The foregoing descriptions of the Asset Transfer Agreement Amendment, Supplemental Indenture, Class A Notes and A&R Confirmation, as set forth in this Item 1.01, are summaries only and are each qualified in all respects by the provisions of the Asset Transfer Agreement Amendment, Supplemental Indenture, Class A Notes and A&R Confirmation, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, 10.3 and 10.4, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.
 
Total Return Swap
 
On February 16, 2012, a wholly-owned financing subsidiary of FSIC, Arch Street Funding LLC (“Arch Street”), entered into a second amendment and restatement of the confirmation letter agreement (the “Second Amended and Restated Confirmation”) governing its total return swap (the “TRS”) for senior secured floating rate loans with Citibank, N.A.  Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Confirmation, the maximum market value of the portfolio of loans subject to the TRS (determined as of the time that each such loan becomes subject to the TRS) was increased from $300 million to $515 million. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Confirmation, Arch Street pays to Citibank, N.A. interest at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR + 1.25% per annum through March 1, 2012 and at a rate equal to one-month LIBOR + 1.27% per annum thereafter.  No other material terms of the TRS changed in connection with the Second Amended and Restated Confirmation.
 
The foregoing description of the Second Amended and Restated Confirmation is a summary only and is qualified in all respects by the provisions of the Second Amended and Restated Confirmation, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.5 and is incorporated herein by reference.

Pricing Rate:
For any Series Transaction, the Pricing Rate will be LIBOR plus Spread, on an Actual/360 basis.
 
LIBOR:
The percentage rate per annum for deposits in US Dollars for a period equal to the Relevant Tenor which appears on the Reuters Screen LIBOR01 (or a successor page) fixed by the BBA as at 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Fixing Date or, if such rate does not appear thereon (or the Buyer determines such rate is inaccurate or not properly reflective of market conditions), the arithmetic mean of the offered quotations on the Fixing Date of four major banks in London designated by the Buyer to prime banks in the London interbank market for US Dollar deposits in Europe having a maturity equal to the Relevant Tenor.
 
If there is no posting on Reuters Screen LIBOR01 for a period equal to the Relevant Tenor (as would be the case for a Purchase Date occurring on a Ramp-up Date due to the relevant increase in the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the CLO Notes), then LIBOR will be determined based on linear interpolation between the next longer and shorter tenor so posted.
 
Relevant Tenor:
Three months, except that for the initial Series, the Relevant Tenor will be the period from and including the CLO Closing Date or Ramp-up Date, as applicable, to but excluding the initial Repurchase Date.
 
Fixing Date:

Spread:
3.25% (325 basis points) per annum
Price Differential:
In addition to the amount defined in paragraph 2(ii) of the Master Agreement, the Price Differential will be increased by any Breakage payable by Seller.
Breakage:
(a) for any Repurchase Date with respect to which there is no Principal Paydown, zero and
 
(b) breakage of 125 basis points per annum present valued, determined as follows: for any Repurchase Date with respect to which there is a Principal Paydown (including a Repurchase Date resulting from an Event of Default hereunder) (a “ Breakage Date ”), an amount, determined by the Buyer in good faith, equal to the present value, discounted at the applicable Swap Rate, of (i) 1.25% per annum multiplied by (ii) 71.428571428% of the Principal Paydown multiplied by (iii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days from and including the associated Breakage Date to but excluding the Scheduled Final Repurchase Date and the denominator of which is 360 (the “ Discounted Payment ”).
 
Principal Paydown:
(a) for any Repurchase Date not resulting from an Event of Default hereunder, the Principal Paydown will equal the aggregate principal amount of the CLO Notes to be redeemed pursuant to the CLO Indenture;
 
(b) for any Repurchase Date resulting from an Event of Default hereunder, the Principal Paydown will be equal to the Class A Maximum Principal Amount (as defined in the CLO Indenture) minus any principal payments previously made on the CLO Notes; and
 
(c) for any Repurchase Date on which a Purchase Date does not occur due to an Excess Paydown Event, the Principal Paydown will be equal to the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the CLO Notes.
 
 
4

 
 
 
Swap Rate:
For any Breakage Date and any Discounted Payment, except as provided below, the annual swap rate (expressed as a percentage per annum) for a United States Dollar denominated interest rate swap transaction with a maturity  equal to the Discounted Tenor which appears on the Reuters Page ISDAFIX1 or any successor page (the “ CMS-Screen Page ”)  as of 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Pricing Date, all as determined by Buyer. If there is no quotation for a period corresponding to the Discounted Tenor, then the Swap Rate for the relevant Breakage Date and Discounted Payment will be determined by linear interpolation.
 
If at such time the CMS-Screen Page is not available or if no swap rate appears, the relevant rate will be a percentage rate per annum determined on the basis of the mid-market semi-annual interest rate swap rate quotations provided by five leading swap dealers in the New York City interbank market (" Reference Banks ") selected by Buyer at approximately 11:00 a.m. (New York time) on the Pricing Date.  For this purpose, the mid-market semi-annual swap rate means the mean of the bid and offered rates for the semi-annual fixed leg, calculated on a 30/360 day count basis, of a fixed-for-floating United States Dollar interest rate swap transaction with a term equal to the Discounted Tenor commencing on that day and in an amount equal to the applicable Principal Paydown with an acknowledged dealer of good credit in the United States Dollar interest rate swap market, where the floating leg, calculated on an Actual/360 day count basis, is equivalent to USD-LIBOR-BBA with a maturity of three months.  Buyer will request the principal New York City office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its rate.  If at least three quotations are provided, the Swap Rate will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, eliminating the highest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the highest) and the lowest quotation (or, in the event of equality, one of the lowest).  If less than three quotations are provided, Buyer will determine the Swap Rate at its sole discretion, acting in good faith and in accordance with standard market practice.
 
For purposes of the foregoing, for any particular Discounted Payment, the “ Discounted Tenor ” will mean the period from and including the relevant Breakage Date to but excluding the Scheduled Final Repurchase Date.  For purposes of the foregoing, for any given Breakage Date, the “ Pricing Date ” will be the second Dealing Day prior to the relevant Breakage Date.
 
Equivalent Securities:
For the avoidance of doubt, with respect to Purchased Securities (and without limiting the applicability of 2(t)(B) or the second sentence of 2(s)), only the CLO Notes (or, where applicable, Distributions in respect thereof) will be considered to be “equivalent to” the CLO Notes.
 
 
5

 
 
Additional Terms:
Market Value of the CLO Notes:
The Market Value with respect to the CLO Notes shall be equal to the following:  (a) so long as the CLO Collateral Value is greater than or equal to 104.28571% of the aggregate principal amount of the CLO Notes, then the Initial MV Percentage multiplied by the then-current principal amount of the CLO Notes and (b) otherwise, the Initial MV Percentage multiplied by the then-current principal amount of the CLO Notes minus the difference between (x) 104.28571% of the aggregate principal amount of the CLO Notes and (y) the CLO Collateral Value.
 
Initial MV Percentage ” means t he percentage of par determined by dividing the market value of the CLO Note (as determined by Buyer) at the initial Purchase Date or any Ramp-up Date, as applicable, (which, for this purpose, will be a “clean” price excluding accrued interest) by the principal amount of such CLO Note at that date.
 
" CLO Collateral Value " means, on any date of determination, the sum of: (i) with respect to each Pledged Obligation held by the CLO Issuer that is a Senior Secured Loan or a Second Lien Loan, the aggregate outstanding amount of such Pledged Obligation multiplied by , (1) (x) the average of the indicative bid-side price (expressed as a percentage) for such Pledged Obligation obtained by Buyer from Reuters Loan Pricing Corporation or LoanX, or (y) if only one such indicative bid-side price is available, such  indicative bid-side price (expressed as a percentage) or (2) if Buyer determines that neither of such indicative prices is available or that neither of such prices is indicative of the actual current market price of the Pledged Obligation, then the indicative bid-side price (expressed as a percentage) from the loan trading desk of Buyer; (ii) with respect to any other Pledged Obligation (other than Cash) held by the CLO Issuer, the aggregate outstanding amount of such Pledged Obligation multiplied by the market value (expressed as a percentage) of such Pledged Obligation as determined by the Buyer in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner; and (iii) with respect to any Cash held by the CLO Issuer (at such time based on the information most recently made available to the parties by the CLO Trustee), the amount of such Cash.
 
The market value price determined by Buyer pursuant to clauses (i)(2) and (ii) above is referred to herein as the “ JPMCB Determined Price ”.
 
Seller, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, may dispute the JPMCB Determined Price of some or all of the Pledged Obligations for purposes of any Margin Transfer to Buyer by Seller under paragraph 4 of the Master Agreement, if the following conditions are satisfied: (i) the Seller shall make all Margin Transfers required of it in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Master Agreement and (ii) if no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to Seller, then by no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on the next Dealing Day, Seller may obtain a firm bid for the full amount of the relevant Pledged Obligation from an Independent Dealer (an “ Independent Bid ”).  The Independent Bid must be maintained by the Independent Dealer and actionable for the Buyer before 12:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Dealing Day.  If Seller obtains an Independent Bid and submits to the Buyer evidence of such Independent Bid no later than 10:00 a.m. (New York time) on such Dealing Day, then such Independent Bid (subject to any “Bid Disqualification Condition” as defined below) shall be used to determine the Market Value of such Pledged Obligation for the purposes of paragraph 4 of the Master Agreement (the “ Dispute Determined Price ”) and the determination of any Margin Securities to be delivered or any Equivalent Margin Securities to be redelivered (in each case, no later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on such Dealing Day) in respect of the price established on such Dealing Day shall be based on such Dispute Determined Price.
 
 
 
6

 
 
  Independent Dealers ” means Bank of America/Merrill Lynch, Barclays Bank, BNP Paribas, Citibank, Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Nomura, Royal Bank of Scotland, UBS, any affiliate of any of the foregoing and any other third party mutually agreed to by Buyer and Seller, but in no event including Seller or any affiliate of Seller.

(" Citibank ") and Arch Street Funding LLC, a limited liability company formed under the laws of the State of Delaware (" Counterparty "), on the Trade Date specified below (each, a " Transaction " and, collectively, the " Transactions ").  This letter constitutes a "Confirmation" as referred to in the Master Agreement specified below.
 
The definitions and provisions contained in the 2000 ISDA Definitions (the " Definitions "), as published by the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc., are incorporated into this Confirmation.  In the event of any inconsistency between the Definitions and this Confirmation, this Confirmation shall govern.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Confirmation have the meanings assigned to them in Annex A.  Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Confirmation or in Annex A have the meanings assigned to them in the Definitions.
 
With effect from the Second Amendment Effective Date, this Confirmation amends and restates the prior Confirmation dated March 18, 2011, amended and restated as of June 9, 2011 (the " Original Confirmation ") relating to the Transactions described herein, which Original Confirmation (with respect to the period from and after the Second Amendment Effective Date) is hereby superseded and shall be of no further force or effect.
 
 
 

 
 
1.           Agreement
 
This Confirmation supplements, forms a part of and is subject to, the ISDA 2002 Master Agreement, dated as of March 18, 2011 (as amended, supplemented and otherwise modified and in effect from time to time, the " Master Agreement "), between Citibank and Counterparty.  All provisions contained in the Master Agreement govern this Confirmation except as expressly modified below.
 
2.           Terms of Transactions
 
The terms of the particular Transactions to which this Confirmation relates are as follows:
 
General Terms:
 
 
Trade Date:
March 18, 2011
 
Effective Date:
March 18, 2011
 
Amendment Effective Date:
June 9, 2011
 
Second Amendment Effective Date:
February 16, 2012
 
Scheduled Termination Date:
The latest date for the final scheduled payment (or, if there is only one scheduled payment, for the scheduled payment) of principal of any Reference Obligation at any time included in the Reference Portfolio.
 
Termination Date:
The final Scheduled Settlement Date (as defined in the Master Agreement) with respect to all Transactions (other than any Counterparty Third Floating Rate Payer Payment Date).  The obligations of the parties to make payments required to be made hereunder shall survive the Termination Date.
 
Obligation Termination Date:
(a) In relation to any Repaid Obligation, the related Repayment Date; and
 
(b) In relation to any Terminated Obligation, the related Termination Settlement Date.
 
Reference Portfolio:
As of any date of determination, all Reference Obligations with respect to all Transactions outstanding on such date.
 
Reference Obligation:
Each obligation listed on Annex I from time to time having a Reference Amount equal to the "Reference Amount" indicated on Annex I for such obligation (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, having an Outstanding Principal Amount equal to the "Outstanding Principal Amount" indicated on Annex I for such Committed Obligation), in each case, subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in accordance with the terms of this Confirmation.
 
 
 
2

 
 
 
Counterparty may, by notice to Citibank on any Business Day on or after the Trade Date (each, an " Obligation Trade Date "), designate that any obligation (each, a " Reference Obligation ") shall become the subject of a Transaction hereunder.  Any such notice shall specify the proposed Reference Obligation and the proposed Reference Amount, Reference Entity and Initial Price in relation to such Transaction.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, no such designation by Counterparty will be effective unless:
 
(a)           Citibank consents on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date to the relevant Reference Obligation becoming the subject of a Transaction hereunder (having the proposed Reference Amount and Initial Price in the notice of designation from Counterparty);
 
(b)           on the Obligation Trade Date (i) the relevant Reference Obligation satisfies the Obligation Criteria set forth in Annex II and (ii) the Portfolio Criteria set forth in Annex II are satisfied (or, if any Portfolio Criterion is not satisfied immediately prior to such designation, then the extent of compliance with such Portfolio Criterion is improved); and
 
(c)           if the relevant Reference Obligation would be a Specified Reference Obligation, Counterparty gives notice of such fact to Citibank in such notice of designation (provided that any failure to give such notice shall not affect the effectiveness of such designation).
 
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing clause (a), Citibank may withhold its consent to any such designation based on any legal, accounting, tax or other similar issues that are adverse to Citibank in any material respect and that would or could reasonably be expected to arise as a result of the entry into such Transaction or any purchase by the Citibank Holder of such Reference Obligation as a hedge for such Transaction.  In the event that Citibank determines not to hold, or cause to be held, all or any portion of any such Reference Obligation as a hedge for such Transaction on the Obligation Settlement Date for such Transaction, Citibank shall give prompt notice thereof to Counterparty.
 
 
 
3

 
 
  The " Obligation Settlement Date " for a Transaction shall be the date following the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction that is customary for settlement of the related Reference Obligation substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the related Reference Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent).
 
On the Obligation Trade Date for a Transaction, the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall, for all purposes hereof (including the determination of the "Maximum Portfolio Notional Amount") other than calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the "Reference Amount" specified in such notice from Counterparty.  On the Obligation Settlement Date for a Transaction, the Reference Amount of such Transaction shall, solely for the purposes of calculating Rate Payments, be increased by the "Reference Amount" specified in such notice from Counterparty.
 
Once a Reference Obligation becomes the subject of a Transaction hereunder, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I reflecting the Reference Portfolio as of the related Obligation Trade Date.
 
If any payment of interest on a Reference Obligation that would otherwise be made during the period from and including the Obligation Trade Date to but excluding the Termination Trade Date is not made but is capitalized as additional principal (without default), then the amount of interest so capitalized as principal shall become a new Transaction hereunder (a " PIK Transaction ") having the same terms and conditions as the Transaction relating to the Reference Obligation in respect of which such interest is capitalized, except that (1) the Initial Price in relation to such PIK Transaction shall be zero, (2) the Obligation Trade Date and Obligation Settlement Date for such PIK Transaction shall be the date on which such interest is capitalized and (3) the Reference Amount of such PIK Transaction will be the amount of interest so capitalized as principal.  Citibank shall give notice to Counterparty after a PIK Transaction becomes outstanding as provided above, which notice shall set forth the information in the foregoing clauses (2) and (3).

Following the occurrence of a Credit Event (as determined by the Calculation Agent) with respect to the related Reference Entity (including any guarantor or other obligor referred to in the definition thereof), Citibank will have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate the related Transaction by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty no less than 10 days prior to the proposed Termination Trade Date.  The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify the Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.

(iv) Counterparty does not, by the deadline specified therefor in Clause 9(e), effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of Eligible Collateral contemplated by Clause 9(e),
 
then Citibank may notify Counterparty in writing of such event.  In the case of the foregoing clause (i), if such event continues for 30 days following the delivery of such notice, then Citibank will have the right but not the obligation to terminate the related Transaction.  In the case of the foregoing clause (ii), if such event continues for 30 days following the delivery of such notice, then Citibank will have the right but not the obligation to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation.  In the case of the foregoing clause (iii) or (iv), Citibank will have the immediate right but not the obligation to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation.  Citibank may exercise this termination right with respect to each Terminated Obligation by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given, as to any Terminated Obligation, (1) on the proposed Termination Trade Date and (2) no less than 10 days prior to the proposed Termination Settlement Date for the related Terminated Obligation.  The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.

(c)           Citibank will have the right, but not the obligation, to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation, effective on any Business Day occurring on or after the second anniversary of the Effective Date (such anniversary date, the " Citibank Optional Termination Date ").  Citibank can exercise this termination right by delivering an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty that is given no less than 15 days prior to the first proposed Termination Trade Date specified in the related Accelerated Termination Notice.  The Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify, as to each Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.  If Citibank does not exercise its right to terminate each Transaction that is the subject of this Confirmation on or before the date occurring 30 days prior to the Citibank Optional Termination Date, then Citibank will have the right, but not the obligation, to propose, by notice to Counterparty, to amend and restate one or more material terms of the Transactions, including, without limitation, the Spread, the Independent Amount Percentage and the application of the Obligation Criteria and Portfolio Criteria to the Transactions.  If Citibank provides a notice to Counterparty proposing to amend and restate one or more material terms of the Transactions as provided above and Counterparty does not agree in writing to such amended and restated terms within 10 Business Days after Citibank provides such notice to Counterparty, each Transaction shall terminate, and the Termination Trade Date shall be such tenth Business Day.  In the event of any such termination, Citibank shall deliver an Accelerated Termination Notice to Counterparty, which shall specify, as to each Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.  Even if a Termination Trade Date has been designated with respect to each Transaction pursuant to this Clause 3(c), such designation will not prevent Citibank or Counterparty from subsequently designating an earlier Termination Trade Date in relation to any Transaction to the extent Citibank or Counterparty, as the case may be, is entitled to designate such earlier Termination Trade Date pursuant to this Confirmation.  Notwithstanding anything in this Confirmation to the contrary:
 
(i)
if Citibank elects to exercise its termination right under this Clause 3(c), then each reference to the term "Scheduled Termination Date" in Clauses 4 (other than Clause 4(c)) and 5 and in the definitions of "Ramp-Down Period" and "Termination Trade Date" will instead be a reference to the date 30 days after the first proposed Termination Trade Date specified in such notice; and
 
(ii)
whether or not Citibank elects to exercise its termination right under this Clause 3(c), and in the case of any termination pursuant to any of the paragraphs of this Clause 3, each reference to the term "Scheduled Termination Date" in the provisions of Clause 4(c) dealing with the payment of Counterparty Second Floating Amounts (and the reference to the day preceding the first day of the Ramp-Down Period in the definition of "Counterparty Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date") will be a reference to the earlier of (x) the Citibank Optional Termination Date and (y) the first anniversary of the Termination Date.

Early Termination Date under Master Agreement
 
(d)           If there is effectively designated an Early Termination Date under the Master Agreement, then (i) each Transaction will be terminated in its entirety (but without limiting Clause 4(c)), (ii) notwithstanding any contrary or otherwise inconsistent provision of the Master Agreement, the provisions set forth in Section 6(e) of the Master Agreement shall not apply to any Transaction (except that amounts that become due and payable on or prior to such Early Termination Date with respect to any Transaction as provided in this Confirmation will constitute Unpaid Amounts) and (iii) the Termination Trade Date for each Transaction will be the date specified by the Calculation Agent occurring on or promptly after such Early Termination Date; provided that, if such Early Termination Date is designated by reason of an Event of Default as to which Citibank is the Defaulting Party, Counterparty may specify the Termination Trade Date with respect to any Transaction as to which the Calculation Agent has not specified the Termination Trade Date within 10 days after such Early Termination Date.  The Calculation Agent shall give notice (an " Accelerated Termination Notice ") to each party (such termination, an " Accelerated Termination ") on or prior to such Early Termination Date, which Accelerated Termination Notice shall specify each Reference Obligation that is the subject of such Accelerated Termination and, with respect to each such Reference Obligation, the amount of the Terminated Obligation, the proposed Termination Trade Date and the proposed Termination Settlement Date.  The amount, if any, payable in respect of such Early Termination Date will be determined in accordance with Clause 4(b) of this Confirmation based upon the delivery of such Accelerated Termination Notice.
 
Effect of Termination
 
(e)           With respect to any Transaction terminated in whole pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as of the relevant Termination Trade Date the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof  (including the determination of the "Maximum Portfolio Notional Amount") other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount, for purposes of calculating Rate Payments, shall be reduced to zero (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof shall be reduced to zero).  With respect to any Transaction terminated in part pursuant to this Clause 3, (i) as of the relevant Termination Trade Date the Reference Amount shall, for all purposes hereof  (including the determination of the "Maximum Portfolio Notional Amount") other than calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction) and (ii) as of the relevant Termination Settlement Date the Reference Amount shall, for purposes of calculating Rate Payments, be reduced by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount specified in the Accelerated Termination Notice (and, in the case of a Committed Obligation, the Outstanding Principal Amount shall be reduced by an amount equal to the product of the Outstanding Principal Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction multiplied by the amount of the reduction of the Reference Amount divided by the Reference Amount in effect immediately prior to such reduction).  Following any Termination Trade Date (other than the Termination Trade Date in respect of the Termination Date), Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I.
 
4.           Final Price Determination
 
Following the termination of any Transaction in whole or in part pursuant to Clause 3 or by reason of the occurrence of the Scheduled Termination Date (other than in connection with a Repayment), the Final Price for the relevant Terminated Obligation will be determined in accordance with this Clause 4.
 
Determination by Counterparty
 
(a)           In order to determine the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation then held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related Transaction if such determination is being made as the result of a termination pursuant to Clause 3(a), Counterparty may arrange for the sale of such Terminated Obligation by giving notice of such sale to Citibank; provided that Counterparty shall have no right to arrange a sale of a Terminated Obligation pursuant to this Clause 4(a) if, as a result of such termination and the termination of all other Transactions as to which the Total Return Payment Date has not yet occurred, (i) the aggregate Value (as defined in the Credit Support Annex) of all Posted Credit Support (as so defined) held by Citibank as Secured Party (as so defined) plus the aggregate of all Citibank Floating Amounts payable in connection with such terminations would be less than (ii) the aggregate of all Counterparty Fourth Floating Amounts payable in connection with such terminations.  Such notice must be given at least three Business Days prior to the related Termination Settlement Date in the case of any Terminated Obligation and at least 10 days prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination Date.  Any sale (i) must be to an Approved Buyer or another buyer approved in advance by Citibank, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and (ii) must be scheduled to occur no later than the date customary for settlement, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Terminated Obligation (as determined by the Calculation Agent), following the Termination Trade Date and prior to the Scheduled Termination Date if all Transactions are to be terminated in connection with the Scheduled Termination Date.  If Counterparty so arranges any sale, the net cash proceeds received from the sale of any Terminated Obligation, net of the related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b), shall be the " Final Price " for that Terminated Obligation.

Determination by Calculation Agent
 
(b)           If the Final Price for any Terminated Obligation is not determined according to Clause 4(a), the Calculation Agent shall attempt to obtain Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation with respect to the applicable Termination Trade Date from two or more Dealers.  The Calculation Agent will give Counterparty notice of its intention to obtain Firm Bids pursuant to this Clause 4(b) (such notice to be given telephonically and via electronic mail) not later than two hours prior to the bid submission deadline specified below.  By notice to Citibank not later than the bid submission deadline specified below, Counterparty may, but shall not be obligated to, designate up to three Approved Buyers each of which shall provide a Firm Bid (and the Calculation Agent will seek a Firm Bid from any such designee so designated by Counterparty on a timely basis).  A " Firm Bid " shall be a good and irrevocable bid for value, to purchase all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, expressed as a percentage of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation and exclusive of accrued interest, for scheduled settlement substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for such Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation Agent, submitted as of 11 a.m. New York time or as soon as practicable thereafter.  If there is more than one Terminated Obligation at any time, then the Calculation Agent shall obtain Firm Bids solely with respect to each separate Terminated Obligation (but not with respect to any group or groups of such Terminated Obligations).  Citibank may, but is not obligated to, sell or cause the sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to any Dealer that provides a Firm Bid.
 
If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain from Dealers at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation with respect to the relevant Termination Trade Date, the Calculation Agent will attempt to obtain a Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation from two or more Dealers until the earlier of (i) the second Business Day (inclusive) following such Termination Trade Date and (ii) the date a Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids is obtained for all of the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation.
 
If the Calculation Agent is able to obtain at least one Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids for all or any portion of the Reference Amount of any Terminated Obligation, the Final Price for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof shall be determined by reference to such Firm Bid or Firm Bids pursuant to the last paragraph of this Clause 4(b).  If no Firm Bids are obtained on or before such second Business Day for all or a portion of the applicable Terminated Obligation, the Final Price shall be deemed to be zero with respect to each portion of such Terminated Obligation for which no Firm Bid was obtained.  The Calculation Agent will conduct the bid process in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Clause 4(b) and otherwise in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner.  Other than in the case of a termination pursuant to Clause 3(b) or 3(d), Citibank and Counterparty will make commercially reasonable efforts to accomplish the assignment to Counterparty (free of payment by Counterparty) of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof held by or on behalf of Citibank as a hedge for the related Transaction for which the Final Price is deemed to be zero (including as provided below); provided that Citibank shall not be liable for any losses related to any delay in or failure of such assignment beyond its control.
 
 
16

 
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
 
(i)
the Calculation Agent shall be entitled to disregard any Firm Bid submitted by a Dealer if, in the Calculation Agent's commercially reasonable judgment, (x) such Dealer is ineligible to accept assignment or transfer of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the Terminated Obligation, as determined by the Calculation Agent, or (y) as a result of the terms of any agreement or instrument governing the related Terminated Obligation or any order of a court of competent jurisdiction relating to such Terminated Obligation, such Dealer is prohibited or restricted from obtaining any consent required for the assignment or transfer of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, to it; and
 
(ii)
if the Calculation Agent determines that the highest Firm Bid obtained in connection with any Termination Trade Date is not bona fide as a result of (x) the occurrence of an Event of Default described in Section 5(a)(vii) with respect to the bidder, (y) the inability, failure or refusal of the bidder to settle the purchase of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, or otherwise settle transactions in the relevant market or perform its obligations generally or (z) the Calculation Agent not having pre-approved trading lines with the bidder that would permit settlement of the purchase of the related Terminated Obligation or portion thereof, as applicable, that Firm Bid shall be disregarded and the next highest Firm Bid that is not disregarded shall be used to determine the Final Price.
 
If there is no such Firm Bid, then the Calculation Agent shall designate a new Termination Trade Date; provided that the Calculation Agent shall designate a new Termination Trade Date pursuant to this paragraph only once.  If the highest Firm Bid for any portion of the related Terminated Obligation determined in connection with the second Termination Trade Date is disregarded pursuant to this paragraph, the Calculation Agent shall have no obligation to obtain further bids, and the applicable " Final Price " for the portion which was so disregarded shall be deemed to be zero.
 
If Citibank transfers, or causes the transfer of, all or any portion of the Terminated Obligation to the Dealer or Dealers providing the highest Firm Bid or highest combination of Firm Bids for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof) or to such other party as provided above, the net cash proceeds received from the sale of such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof (which sale shall be scheduled to settle substantially in accordance with the then-current market practice in the principal market for the related Reference Obligation as determined by the Calculation Agent), net of the related Costs of Assignment and adjusted by any Delay Compensation as provided in Clause 6(b), shall be the " Final Price " for that Terminated Obligation (or the portion thereof that is sold).
 
If Citibank has determined not to hold, or cause to be held, all or any portion of any Terminated Obligation as a hedge for the related Transaction or otherwise determines, in its sole discretion, not to sell or cause the sale of any portion of any Terminated Obligation to a Dealer providing the highest Firm Bid or combination of Firm Bids, the " Final Price " for such Terminated Obligation or portion thereof shall be equal to the highest Firm Bid (or highest combination of Firm Bids) for such Terminated Obligation (or portion thereof) multiplied by the Reference Amount of such Terminated Obligation (or the respective portions of the Reference Amount to which such Firm Bids relate).  The Calculation Agent may perform any of its duties under this Clause 4(b) through any Affiliate designated by it, but no such designation shall relieve the Calculation Agent of its duties under this Clause 4(b).
 
 
17

 
 
Early Termination of Facility
 
(c)           For the avoidance of doubt (and subject to paragraph (ii) of the last sentence of Clause 3(c)), if the Termination Date occurs prior to the Citibank Optional Termination Date, each Counterparty Second Floating Amount shall continue to be payable by Counterparty on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date; provided that, if either party shall so specify in writing to the other party prior to any final Termination Trade Date, then on such final Termination Trade Date (i) the obligation of Counterparty to continue to pay each Counterparty Second Floating Amount on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date shall terminate and be replaced by the obligation in the following clause and (ii) Counterparty shall pay to Citibank an amount equal to the present value (as calculated by the Calculation Agent with discounting on a continuous basis) discounted to such final Termination Trade Date of each Counterparty Second Floating Amount payable (without regard to the termination of such obligation under the foregoing clause) on each subsequent Second Floating Rate Payer Payment Date occurring on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date, at a discount rate per annum equal to the Discount Rate.  For this purpose, the " Discount Rate " means the zero coupon swap rate (as determined by the Calculation Agent) implied by the fixed rate offered to be paid by Citibank under a fixed for floating interest rate swap transaction with a remaining Term equal to the period from such final Termination Trade Date to the Scheduled Termination Date in exchange for the receipt of payments indexed to USD-LIBOR-BBA.
 
5.           Repayment.
 
If all or a portion of the Reference Amount of any Reference Obligation is repaid or otherwise reduced (in the case of a Committed Obligation, only if the Reference Amount thereof is permanently reduced)  (including, without limitation, through any exercise of any right of set-off, reduction, or counterclaim that results in the satisfaction of the obligations of such Reference Entity to pay any principal owing in respect of such Reference Obligation) on or prior to the Scheduled Termination Date (the amount of such repayment or other reduction, a " Repayment "; the portion of the related Reference Obligation so repaid or otherwise reduced, a " Repaid Obligation "; and the date of such Repayment, the " Repayment Date "):
 
(a)
the Total Return Payment Date with respect to the Repaid Obligation will be the seventh Business Day next succeeding the last day of the Monthly Period in which the Repayment Date occurred;
 
(b)
as of the related Repayment Date, the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation shall be decreased by an amount equal to the principal amount of the Repaid Obligation; and
 
(c)
the related Final Price in relation to the Repaid Obligation shall be (i) in the case of a Committed Obligation, the portion of the Reference Amount that is permanently reduced (excluding any such reduction below the Outstanding Principal Amount thereof) on such Repayment Date and (ii) in the case of a Term Obligation, the amount of principal and premium in respect of principal paid by such Reference Entity on the Repaid Obligation to holders thereof (or the amount by which the Reference Obligation was otherwise reduced) on such Repayment Date.  Following any Repayment Date, Citibank shall promptly prepare and deliver to Counterparty a revised Annex I showing the revised Reference Amount for the related Reference Obligation.
 
6.           Adjustments.
 
(a)           If any Reference Obligation or portion thereof is irreversibly converted or exchanged into or for any securities, obligations or other assets or property (" Exchange Consideration "), thereafter such Exchange Consideration will constitute such Reference Obligation or portion thereof, and, unless Citibank shall otherwise agree in writing, (i) if such Exchange Consideration fails to satisfy the Obligation Criteria, then Clause 3(b)(i) shall apply and (ii) if the Portfolio Criteria set forth in Annex II would not be satisfied after giving effect to such exchange, then Clause 3(b)(ii) shall apply.
 
 
18

 
 
(b)           Delay Compensation (as defined below) shall result in an adjustment (i) as contemplated by the definition of "Interest and Fee Amount" in connection with the establishment by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge in respect of a Transaction, if the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge occurs after the Obligation Settlement Date and (ii) of a Final Price with respect to a Terminated Obligation in connection with the termination by the Citibank Holder of a related hedge, if the actual settlement of the sale of the related hedge occurs after the Termination Settlement Date.  " Delay Compensation " shall accrue (x) in the case of clause (i) above, from and including the Obligation Settlement Date to but excluding the actual settlement of the purchase effected to establish the related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the Spread and not the Floating Rate Option and (B) Interest and Fee Amounts will be determined without regard to payments in respect of the interest rate index, but will be determined inclusive of the applicable spread above such interest rate index, used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest payments in respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period) and (y) in the case of clause (ii) above, from and including the Termination Settlement Date to but excluding the actual settlement of the sale effected to terminate the related hedge (and, during such period, (A) the Counterparty First Floating Amount shall be calculated by reference to the Floating Rate Option and not the Spread and (B) Interest and Fee Amounts shall be reduced by interest accrued during such period in excess of the interest rate index used in the Reference Obligation Credit Agreement to calculate interest payments in respect of the related Reference Obligation and in effect during such period).  In connection with any adjustment by reason of Delay Compensation, (i) any initial Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the "Obligation Settlement Date" shall be determined as if the Obligation Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the purchase of the related hedge and (ii) any final Payment Date in this Confirmation determined by reference to the "Termination Settlement Date" shall be determined as if the Termination Settlement Date were the actual settlement of the termination of the related hedge.
 
(c)           If (i) Citibank elects to establish a hedge as a result of the addition or increase in the Reference Amount of any Reference Obligation that is the subject of a Transaction and (ii) the Citibank Holder is unable after using commercially reasonable efforts to effect the settlement of such hedge, then, by notice to Counterparty, Citibank may in its sole discretion, specify that such addition or increase in the Reference Amount of such Reference Obligation shall be of no force or effect (retroactive to the Obligation Trade Date or the Obligation Settlement Date, as the case may be).

22

 
 
(e)           Except for any disclosure authorized pursuant to Clause 7(b)(v), Counterparty agrees to be bound by the confidentiality provisions of the related Reference Obligation Credit Agreement with respect to all information and documentation in relation to a Reference Entity or a Reference Obligation delivered to Counterparty hereunder.

8.           Adjustments Relating to Certain Unpaid or Rescinded Payments.
 
(a)           If (i) Citibank makes any payment to Counterparty as provided under Clause 2 and the corresponding Interest and Fee Amount is not paid (in whole or in part) when due or (ii) any Interest and Fee Amount in respect of a Reference Obligation is required to be returned (in whole or in part) by a holder of such Reference Obligation (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder) to the applicable Reference Entity or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other applicable law, then Counterparty will pay to Citibank, upon request by Citibank, such amount (or portion thereof) so not paid or so required to be returned, paid or otherwise rescinded.  If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded amount is subsequently paid, Citibank shall pay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to Counterparty within seven Business Days after the date of such subsequent payment.
 
(b)           If, with respect to any Repaid Obligation, the corresponding payment of principal of the Repaid Obligation is required to be returned (in whole or in part) by a holder thereof (including, without limitation, the Citibank Holder) to the applicable Reference Entity or paid to any other person or entity or is otherwise rescinded pursuant to any bankruptcy or insolvency law or any other applicable law, then (i) the parties hereto shall be restored severally and respectively to their former positions hereunder and thereafter all rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall continue as though no Repayment had occurred and (ii) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if either party has made a payment to the other party in respect of Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation related to such Repayment as provided under Clause 2, then the party that received the payment in respect of such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable, shall repay such amount (subject to Clause 8(c)) to the other party.  If such returned, paid or otherwise rescinded amount is subsequently paid by the related Reference Entity or any such other person or entity, then the relevant party shall pay the amount of such Capital Appreciation or Capital Depreciation, as applicable, within seven Business Days after the date of such subsequent payment.
 
(c)           Amounts payable pursuant to this Clause 8 shall be subject to adjustment by the Calculation Agent in good faith and on a commercially reasonable basis, as agreed by Citibank and Counterparty, in order to preserve for the parties the intended economic risks and benefits of the relevant Transaction.
 
 
23

 
 
(d)           The payment obligations of Citibank and Counterparty pursuant to this Clause 8 shall survive the termination of all Transactions.
 
9.           Credit Support.
 
Notwithstanding anything in the Credit Support Annex (the " Credit Support Annex ") to the Schedule to the Master Agreement to the contrary, the following collateral terms shall apply to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates (capitalized terms used in this Clause 9 but not otherwise defined in this Confirmation have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Credit Support Annex):
 
(a)
With respect to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, a single "Independent Amount" shall be applicable to Counterparty in an amount equal to the Notional Amount with respect to such Transaction (or, in the case of any increase of the Notional Amount under any Transaction, the amount of such increase) multiplied by the percentage set forth in Clause 9(b) under the caption "Independent Amount Percentage".  Not later than the Effective Date, Counterparty as Pledgor will Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party Eligible Collateral having a Value as of the date of Transfer equal to the aggregate of all Independent Amounts determined pursuant this Clause 9(a).  If the aggregate of all Independent Amounts on any date would increase as a result of an increase in the Portfolio Notional Amount, or any change in the Diversity Score, on such date and the aggregate Value of Eligible Collateral Transferred to Citibank pursuant to this Clause 9(a) prior to such date is less than the aggregate of all Independent Amounts as so increased, then Counterparty as Pledgor will Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party Eligible Collateral having a Value as of the date of Transfer equal to the greater of (i) USD1,000,000 and (ii) the amount of such shortfall.
 
(b)
With respect to each Transaction to which this Confirmation relates, the "Independent Amount Percentage" applicable to such Transaction will be equal to:
 
Condition
Independent Amount Percentage
(i) With respect to any Transaction not relating to a Specified Reference Obligation on any date on which the Diversity Score is less than 15:
25%
(i) With respect to any Transaction not relating to a Specified Reference Obligation on any date on which the Diversity Score is greater than or equal to 15:
20%
(iii) With respect to any Transaction relating to a Specified Reference Obligation
Such percentage as Citibank shall specify on or prior to the Obligation Trade Date for such Transaction
 
(c)
In no event shall Citibank as Secured Party be obligated to Transfer Posted Credit Support in respect of a Return Amount to Counterparty as Pledgor if the Value as of any Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by Citibank as Secured Party would be less than the aggregate of all Independent Amounts determined pursuant to Clause 9(a).
 
 
24

 
 
(d)
Solely for the purpose of determining any Delivery Amount or Return Amount pursuant to the Credit Support Annex, (i) in no event shall Counterparty as a Secured Party have any positive "Exposure" to Citibank with respect to the Transactions (in aggregate) to which this Confirmation relates or (ii) without limiting Clause 3(b) or 9(e), in no event shall Citibank as a Secured Party have any positive "Exposure" to Counterparty with respect to the Transactions (in aggregate) to which this Confirmation relates.
 
(e)
If (i) the Net Collateral Value Percentage on any Valuation Date is less than the Termination Threshold on such Valuation Date and (ii) Citibank gives notice thereof to Counterparty on any Business Day, Counterparty shall, no later than one Business Day after the date of such notice from Citibank, effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of Eligible Collateral such that the Net Collateral Value Percentage after giving effect to such Transfer is at least equal to the Cure Threshold.  In addition, Counterparty may, on any Business Day, effect the Transfer to Citibank as Secured Party of any additional Eligible Collateral.
 
(f)
If Counterparty enters into any Transaction under the Master Agreement other than the Transactions contemplated by this Confirmation (each, a " Separate Transaction "), then the Credit Support Amount with respect to Counterparty as Pledgor shall never be less than the "Credit Support Amount" with respect to Counterparty as Pledgor calculated (i) solely with reference to all Separate Transactions and (ii) without regard to the aggregate of all Independent Amounts applicable to Counterparty as Pledgor under this Confirmation.
 
(g)
Each Business Day shall be a Valuation Date.
 
(h)
The " Interest Rate " will be (i) the overnight ask rate in effect for such day, as set forth opposite the caption "O/N" under the heading "USD" on Reuters Page LIBOR01 or any successor page thereto on or about 11:00 a.m., New York time, on such day, or (ii) if no successor page is quoted, the rate in effect for such day, as set forth in H.15(519) for that day opposite the caption "Federal Funds (Effective)" and if the rate is not yet published in H.15(519), the rate for such day will be the rate set forth in Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities for that day under the caption "Federal Funds/Effective Rate".  If on any day the appropriate rate for such day is not published in either H.15(519) or Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities, the rate for such day will be the arithmetic mean of the rate for the last transaction in overnight U.S. Dollar Federal funds arranged by three leading brokers of U.S. Dollar federal funds transactions in New York City selected by Citibank in good faith prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time on such day.  " H.15(519) " means the weekly statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication, published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System.  " Composite 3:30 p.m. Quotations for U.S. Government Securities " means the daily statistical release designated as such, or any successor publication, published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, or (iii) if such Federal funds rate is not available, any page agreed by the parties.  Transfers of the Interest Amount will be made in arrears on the seventh Business Day following the last day of each Monthly Period.
 
(i)
Any Transfer required to be made pursuant to this Clause 9 shall be a Transfer made under the Credit Support Annex (and not a payment or delivery made under Section 2(a)(i) of the Master Agreement).

" Approved Buyer " means (a) any entity listed in Annex III hereto (as such Annex may be amended by mutual written consent of the parties hereto from time to time) so long as its long-term unsecured and unsubordinated debt obligations on the "trade date" for the related purchase or submission of a Firm Bid contemplated hereby are rated at least "A2" by Moody's and at least "A" by S&P and (b) if an entity listed in Annex III hereto is not the principal banking or securities Affiliate within a financial holding company group, the principal banking or securities Affiliate of such listed entity within such financial holding company group so long as such obligations of such Affiliate have the rating indicated in clause (a) above.
 
" Capital Appreciation " and " Capital Depreciation " mean, for any Total Return Payment Date, the amount determined according to the following formula for the applicable Terminated Obligation or Repaid Obligation:
 
Final Price – Applicable Notional Amount
 
where

" Applicable Notional Amount " means the Notional Funded Amount (determined immediately prior to the related Repayment Date or Termination Trade Date) for such Terminated Obligation or Repaid Obligation, as applicable.
 
If such amount is positive, such amount is " Capital Appreciation " and if such amount is negative, the absolute value of such amount is " Capital Depreciation ".
 
" Committed Obligation " means (a) any Delayed Drawdown Reference Obligation and (b) any Revolving Reference Obligation.
 
" Costs of Assignment " means, in the case of any Terminated Obligation, the sum of (a) any actual costs of transfer or assignment paid by the seller under the terms of any Terminated Obligation or otherwise actually imposed on the seller by any applicable administrative agent, borrower or obligor incurred in connection with the sale of such Terminated Obligation and (b) any reasonable expenses incurred by the seller in connection with such sale and, if transfers of the Terminated Obligation are subject to the Standard Terms and Conditions for Distressed Trade Confirmations, as published by the LSTA and as in effect on the Obligation Trade Date, reasonable legal costs incurred by the seller in connection with such sale, in each case to the extent not already reflected in the Final Price.
 
" Credit Event " means the occurrence of a Bankruptcy or Failure to Pay.  For purposes of the determination of whether a Credit Event has occurred, the Obligation Category will be Borrowed Money, the Payment Requirement will be USD1,000,000 and no Obligation Characteristics will be specified.  Capitalized terms used in this definition but not defined in this Confirmation shall have the meanings specified in the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions.

" Cure Threshold " means (a) with respect to the first Valuation Date (if any) on which the Net Collateral Value Percentage is less than the Termination Threshold and for the period thereafter until the Net Collateral Value Percentage is at least equal to 20%, but only if the Diversity Score at the end of such period is greater than or equal to 15, 20% and (b) otherwise, 25%.
 
" Current Price " means, with respect to any Reference Obligation on any date of determination, the Calculation Agent's determination of the net cash proceeds that would be received from the sale on such date of determination of such Reference Obligation, net of the related Costs of Assignment.  If Counterparty disputes the Calculation Agent's determination of the Current Price of any Reference Obligation, then Counterparty may, no later than two hours after Counterparty is given notice of such determination, (a) designate two Dealers of credit standing acceptable to Citibank in the exercise of its reasonable discretion and (b) provide to Citibank within such two-hour period with respect to each such Dealer a Firm Bid with respect to the entire Reference Amount of the Reference Obligation.  The highest of such two Firm Bids will be the Current Price.  The "Current Price" shall be expressed as a percentage of par and will be determined exclusive of accrued interest.

For the purposes of the calculation of the Diversity Score, all affiliates of each obligor shall be treated as a single obligor together with such obligor.  For this purpose, affiliation shall not result solely from ownership by a common Financial Sponsor.
