(b)

Scope.  Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, each FX Transaction and Currency Option Transaction entered into between the parties before, on or after the date of this Agreement shall be a Transaction under this Agreement and shall be part of, subject to and governed by this Agreement. FX Transactions and Currency Option Transactions shall be part of, subject to and governed by this Agreement even if the Confirmation in respect thereof does not state that such FX Transaction or Currency Option Transaction is subject to or governed by this Agreement or does not otherwise reference this Agreement.

When an FX Transaction or a Currency Option is confirmed by means of exchange of electronic messages on an electronic messaging system or other document or other confirming evidence exchanged between the parties confirming such Transaction, such messages, document or evidence will constitute a Confirmation for the purposes of this Agreement even where not so specified therein.

(c)

(i)

Section 2.1 of the 1998 FX Definitions is amended by adding the following as Section 2.1(b):

If the Seller elects to act under either clause (i) or (ii) of the preceding sentence, the Buyer shall pay all out-of-pocket costs and actual damages incurred in connection with such unpaid or late Premium or void Currency Option Transaction, including, without limitation, interest on such Premium in the same currency as such Premium at the then prevailing market rate and any other costs or expenses incurred by the Seller in covering its obligations (including, without limitation, a delta hedge) with respect to such Currency Option Transaction.”

If (A) an FX Transaction is entered into between the parties that creates a Currency Obligation in the same currency and for the same Settlement Date as a then existing Currency Obligation between the parties, and (B) prior to the Settlement Date, the parties agree to net such Currency Obligations, then such Currency Obligations shall automatically and without further action be netted, such that a net amount and payment obligation will be determined in respect of the amounts payable under each such Currency Obligation, and the party having the obligation to deliver the greater aggregate amount of currency shall be obligated to deliver the excess of such greater aggregate currency amount over such lesser aggregate currency amount.

(ii)

Netting, Discharge and Termination with Respect to Currency Option Transactions.  The following provisions shall apply to Currency Option Transactions:

Any Call or Put written by a party will automatically be terminated and discharged, in whole or in part, as applicable, against a Call or a Put, respectively, having the same identical terms, written by the other party, if agreed to by the parties at the time of the subsequent Call or Put; and, upon the occurrence of such termination or discharge, neither party shall have any further obligation to the other party in respect of the parts so terminated and discharged (except for the obligation of either party to pay any Premium due, but not paid, thereunder); and the remaining portion of any Currency Option Transaction, which is partially discharged and terminated, shall continue to be a Currency Option Transaction under this Agreement.
