1.44. Knock-in Event.

(a) If “Knock-in Event” applies, a party’s right to exercise an Option under an Option Transaction will be conditional upon the Knock-in Event existing when it is exercised on any Knock-in Determination Day. The parties’ rights and obligations will be altered upon the such exercise as is specified in the Confirmation.
(b) “Knock-in Event” must be specified in the Confirmation. If it is not, but the Confirmation specifies a Knock-in Price for a Knock-in Reference Security that is also the specified Underlier for that Transaction, the Knock-in Event will occur:
(i) If the Knock-in Price on the Trade Date was higher than the initial level set for the Transaction: when the Knock-in Reference Security’s level at the Knock-in Valuation Time on a Knock-in Determination Day at least equals the Knock-in Price; and
(ii) If the Knock-in Price on the Trade Date was lower than the initial level set for the Transaction: when the Knock-in Reference Security‘s level at the Knock-in Valuation Time on a Knock-in Determination Day at most equals the Knock-in Price.
If the parties cannot agree whether a Knock-in Event has occurred, the Calculation Agent will decide.
