From the "you'll be sorry you asked" file:

(i)  Prior to Early Termination. Prior to the occurrence or effective designation of an Early
Termination Date in respect of the relevant Transaction:― 

(1) Interest on Defaulted Payments. If a party defaults in the performance of any payment
obligation, it will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c), pay interest
(before as well as after judgment) on the overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same
currency as the overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date
for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment (and excluding any period in respect of
which interest or compensation in respect of the overdue amount is due pursuant to clause (3)(B) or
(C) below), at the Default Rate. 

(2) Compensation for Defaulted Deliveries. If a party defaults in the performance of any
obligation required to be settled by delivery, it will on demand (A) compensate the other party to
the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement and (B) unless
otherwise provided in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement, to the extent
permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c), pay to the other party interest (before as
well as after judgment) on an amount equal to the fair market value of that which was required to be
delivered in the same currency as that amount, for the period from (and including) the originally
scheduled date for delivery to (but excluding) the date of actual delivery (and excluding any period
in respect of which interest or compensation in respect of that amount is due pursuant to clause (4)
below), at the Default Rate. The fair market value of any obligation referred to above will be
determined as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in good faith and using commercially
reasonable procedures, by the party that was entitled to take delivery. 

(3) Interest on Deferred Payments. If:― 

(A) a party does not pay any amount that, but for Section 2(a)(iii), would have been
payable, it will, to the extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c) and
clauses (B) and (C) below, pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on that amount
to the other party on demand (after such amount becomes payable) in the same currency as
that amount, for the period from (and including) the date the amount would, but for
Section 2(a)(iii), have been payable to (but excluding) the date the amount actually
becomes payable, at the Applicable Deferral Rate;

(B) a payment is deferred pursuant to Section 5(d), the party which would otherwise
have been required to make that payment will, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
subject to Section 6(c) and for so long as no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default
with respect to that party has occurred and is continuing, pay interest (before as well as
after judgment) on the amount of the deferred payment to the other party on demand (after
such amount becomes payable) in the same currency as the deferred payment, for the
period from (and including) the date the amount would, but for Section 5(d), have been
payable to (but excluding) the earlier of the date the payment is no longer deferred
pursuant to Section 5(d) and the date during the deferral period upon which an Event of
Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to that party occurs, at the Applicable
Deferral Rate; or

(C) a party fails to make any payment due to the occurrence of an Illegality or a Force
Majeure Event (after giving effect to any deferral period contemplated by clause (B)
above), it will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, subject to Section 6(c) and for so
long as the event or circumstance giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event
continues and no Event of Default or Potential Event of Default with respect to that party
has occurred and is continuing, pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the
overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as the overdue amount,
for the period from (and including) the date the party fails to make the payment due to the
occurrence of the relevant Illegality or Force Majeure Event (or, if later, the date the
payment is no longer deferred pursuant to Section 5(d)) to (but excluding) the earlier of the
date the event or circumstance giving rise to that Illegality or Force Majeure Event ceases
to exist and the date during the period upon which an Event of Default or Potential Event
of Default with respect to that party occurs (and excluding any period in respect of which
interest or compensation in respect of the overdue amount is due pursuant to clause (B)
above), at the Applicable Deferral Rate.

(4) Compensation for Deferred Deliveries. If:― 

(A) a party does not perform any obligation that, but for Section 2(a)(iii), would have
been required to be settled by delivery;

(B) a delivery is deferred pursuant to Section 5(d); or 

(C) a party fails to make a delivery due to the occurrence of an Illegality or a Force
Majeure Event at a time when any applicable Waiting Period has expired, 

the party required (or that would otherwise have been required) to make the delivery will, to the
extent permitted by applicable law and subject to Section 6(c), compensate and pay interest to the
other party on demand (after, in the case of clauses (A) and (B) above, such delivery is required) if
and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

(ii) Early Termination. Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination Date in
respect of a Transaction:―

(1) Unpaid Amounts. For the purpose of determining an Unpaid Amount in respect of the
relevant Transaction, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, interest will accrue on the
amount of any payment obligation or the amount equal to the fair market value of any obligation
required to be settled by delivery included in such determination in the same currency as that
amount, for the period from (and including) the date the relevant obligation was (or would have
been but for Section 2(a)(iii) or 5(d)) required to have been performed to (but excluding) the
relevant Early Termination Date, at the Applicable Close-out Rate.

(2) Interest on Early Termination Amounts. If an Early Termination Amount is due in respect
of such Early Termination Date, that amount will, to the extent permitted by applicable law, be paid
together with interest (before as well as after judgment) on that amount in the Termination
Currency, for the period from (and including) such Early Termination Date to (but excluding) the
date the amount is paid, at the Applicable Close-out Rate.

(iii) Interest Calculation. Any interest pursuant to this Section 9(h) will be calculated on the basis of
daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
