| (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.
