This Deed is a Credit Support Document with respect to both parties in relation to the ISDA Master Agreement referred to above (as amended and supplemented from time to time, the “Agreement”) and, subject to Paragraph 7 below, Section 5(a)(iii) of the Agreement will apply in respect of this Deed.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:
Paragraph 1. Interpretation
1(a) Definitions and Inconsistency. Unless otherwise defined in this Deed, capitalised terms defined in the Agreement have the same meanings in this Deed. Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this Deed or in the Agreement have the meanings specified pursuant to Paragraph 12, and all references in this Deed to Paragraphs are to Paragraphs of this Deed. In the event of any inconsistency between this Deed and the provisions of the Agreement or any Other CSA, this Deed will prevail in the case of (i) matters concerning regulatory initial margin requirements relating to Covered Transactions (IM) posted by a Chargor and (ii) specific amendments made herein to the Agreement, the Schedule to the Agreement or any Other CSA, and in the event of any inconsistency between Paragraph 13 and the other provisions of this Deed, Paragraph 13 will prevail.
1(b) Secured Party and Chargor. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, all references in this Deed to the “Secured Party” will be to either party when acting in that capacity and all corresponding references to the “Chargor” will be to the other party when acting in that capacity, provided, however, that a reference herein to Posted Credit Support (IM) being “held” by a Secured Party at any time shall be construed as a reference to the Posted Credit Support (IM) credited to the Segregated Accounts at such time in respect of which a Security Interest has been created in its favour under this Deed. A reference to a transfer of Eligible Credit Support (IM) or Posted Credit Support (IM) to or from the Custodian (IM) is deemed to be a reference to a transfer to or from the relevant Segregated Accounts, as applicable.
1(c) Scope of this Deed. The only Transactions which will be relevant for the purposes of determining a “Margin Amount (IM)” under this Deed with respect to a posting obligation of a Chargor will be the relevant Covered Transactions (IM) specified in accordance with the provisions of Paragraph 13. Except as expressly provided herein, nothing in this Deed will affect the rights and obligations, if any, of either party under the Agreement or any Other CSA.
1(d) Amendment Effective Date (IM). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, any specific amendments made herein to the Agreement, including the Schedule or any Other CSA, will become effective as of the Amendment Effective Date (IM).
2 Security
2(a) Covenant to Perform. Each party as the Chargor covenants with the other party that it will perform the Obligations in the manner provided in the Agreement, this Deed or any other relevant agreement.
2(b) Security. Each party as the Chargor, as security for the performance of the Obligations:
- (i) charges and agrees to charge, with full title guarantee, in favour of the Secured Party by way of first fixed charge:
- (A) all Posted Credit Support (IM) (present and future); and
- (B) each Segregated Account, and
- (A) all Posted Credit Support (IM) (present and future); and
- (ii) assigns and agrees to assign, with full title guarantee, the Assigned Rights to the Secured Party absolutely.
2(c) Restriction on Dealings. Each party as the Chargor must not:
- (i) create or permit to subsist any Security Interest on the Segregated Accounts or the Posted Credit Support (IM) or the Assigned Rights; or
- (ii) sell, transfer, licence, lease, loan, grant any option over, declare a trust over or otherwise dispose of any of its rights in respect of the Segregated Accounts or the Posted Credit Support (IM) or the Assigned Rights,
other than (A) the security created by this Deed, (B) a lien routinely imposed on all securities in a clearing system in which any such Posted Credit Support (IM) may be held or (C) a lien or security interest referred to in, or in connection with, the Control Agreement.
2(d) Release of Security. Upon the transfer by the Custodian (IM) to the Chargor of Posted Credit Support (IM) either (i) following an instruction from the Secured Party, (ii) in accordance with any provisions relating to the transfer of collateral following delivery of a Chargor Access Notice under the Control Agreement or (iii) as otherwise agreed by the parties, the security interest granted under this Deed on that Posted Credit Support (IM) will be released immediately, and the Assigned Rights relating to that Posted Credit Support (IM) will be re-assigned to the Chargor, in each case without any further action by either party. To the extent that all Obligations of the Chargor owed to the Secured Party have been irrevocably satisfied in full and no further Obligations may arise, then at the Chargor’s expense the Secured Party will also release the security interest granted under this Deed on each of the Segregated Accounts.
2(e) Preservation of Security. The security constituted by this Deed shall be a continuing security and shall not be satisfied by any intermediate payment or satisfaction of the whole or any part of the Obligations but shall secure the ultimate balance of the Obligations. If for any reason this security ceases to be a continuing security or any subsequent charge or other interest affects any Security Assets (in each case, other than in relation to either (i) a lien routinely imposed on all securities in a clearing system in which any such Posted Credit Support (IM) may be held or (ii) a lien or security interest referred to in, or connected with, the Control Agreement), the Secured Party may direct that the Chargor open a new account with the Custodian (IM) or continue the existing Segregated Account and the liability of the Chargor in respect of the Obligations at the date of such cessation shall remain regardless of any payments into or out of any such account. The security constituted by this Deed shall be in addition to, and shall not be affected by, any other security now or subsequently held by the Secured Party for all or any of the Obligations.
2(f) Waiver of Defences. The obligations of the Chargor under this Deed shall not be affected by any act, omission or circumstance which, but for this provision, might operate to release or otherwise exonerate the Chargor from its obligations under this Deed or affect such obligations, including (but without limitation) and whether or not known to the Chargor or the Secured Party:
- (i) any time or indulgence granted to or composition with the Chargor or any other person;
- (ii) the variation, extension, compromise, renewal or release of, or refusal or neglect to perfect or enforce, any terms of the Agreement or any rights or remedies against, or any security granted by, the Chargor or any other person;
- (iii) any irregularity, invalidity or unenforceability of any obligations of the Chargor under the Agreement or any present or future law or order of any government or authority (whether of right or in fact) purporting to reduce or otherwise affect any of such obligations to the intent that the Chargor’s obligations under this Deed shall remain in full force and this Deed shall be construed accordingly as if there were no such irregularity, unenforceability, invalidity, law or order; and
- (iv) any legal limitation, disability, incapacity or other circumstance relating to the Chargor, any guarantor or any other person or any amendment to or variation of the terms of the Agreement or any other document or security.
2(g) Immediate Recourse. The Chargor waives any right it may have of first requiring the Secured Party to proceed against or claim payment from any other person or enforce any guarantee or security before enforcing this Deed.
2(h) Reinstatement. Where any discharge (whether in respect of the security constituted by this Deed, any other security or otherwise) is made in whole or in part or any arrangement is made on the faith of any payment, security or other disposition which is avoided or any amount paid pursuant to any such discharge or arrangement must be repaid on bankruptcy, liquidation or otherwise without limitation, the security constituted by this Deed and the liability of the Chargor under this Deed shall continue as if there had been no such discharge or arrangement.
3. Credit Support Obligations
3(a) Delivery Amount (IM). Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Secured Party on or promptly following a Calculation Date (IM), if the Delivery Amount (IM) applicable to the Chargor for that Calculation Date (IM) equals or exceeds the Chargor’s Minimum Transfer Amount (IM), then the Chargor will transfer to the Custodian (IM) Eligible Credit Support (IM) having a Value as of the date of transfer at least equal to the applicable Delivery Amount (IM) (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the “Delivery Amount (IM)” applicable to the Chargor for any Calculation Date (IM) will equal the amount by which:
- (i) the Credit Support Amount (IM) applicable to the Chargor
- exceeds
- (ii) the Value as of that Calculation Date (IM) of all Posted Credit Support (IM) held by the Secured Party (as adjusted to include any prior Delivery Amount (IM) and to exclude any prior Return Amount (IM), the transfer of which, in either case, has not yet been completed and for which the relevant Regular Settlement Day falls on or prior to such Calculation Date (IM)).
3(b) Return Amount (IM). Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Chargor on or promptly following a Calculation Date (IM), if the Return Amount (IM) applicable to the Secured Party for that Calculation Date (IM) equals or exceeds the Secured Party’s Minimum Transfer Amount (IM), then the Secured Party will instruct the Custodian (IM) to transfer to the Chargor Posted Credit Support (IM) specified by the Chargor in that demand having a Value as of the date of transfer as close as practicable to (but not more than) the applicable Return Amount (IM) (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the “Return Amount (IM)” applicable to the Secured Party for any Calculation Date (IM) will equal the amount by which:
- (i) the Value as of that Calculation Date (IM) of all Posted Credit Support (IM) held by the Secured Party (as adjusted to include any prior Delivery Amount (IM) and to exclude any prior Return Amount (IM), the transfer of which, in either case, has not yet been completed and for which the relevant Regular Settlement Day falls on or prior to such Calculation Date (IM))
- exceeds
- (ii) the Credit Support Amount (IM) applicable to the Chargor.
3(c) Margin Amount (IM); Margin Amount (IA); Margin Approach
3(c)(i) “Margin Amount (IM)” means, for any Calculation Date (IM) and a posting obligation of a Chargor under a Regime, the Base Currency Equivalent of an amount equal to the sum of the initial margin amounts in respect of the Covered Transactions (IM) determined using the Method specified as applicable to such Regime in Paragraph 13.
3(c)(ii) “Margin Amount (IA)” means, for any Calculation Date (IM) and a posting obligation of a Chargor, the Base Currency Equivalent of an amount equal to the sum of the Independent Amounts (as defined in any Other CSA) applicable to the Chargor and any other amounts applicable to the Chargor (other than any amounts in respect of Margin Amount (IM) or Exposure), however described, intended by the parties to operate as an Independent Amount, if any, after taking into account any relevant Threshold applicable to the Chargor and any other relevant amounts applicable to the Chargor, however described, intended by the parties to operate as a Threshold but prior to giving effect to any other applicable deduction, discharge or netting of such amounts, under or in relation to the Agreement, as determined and reported by the party responsible for calculating such amounts. For the avoidance of doubt, in order to determine the amounts “applicable to the Chargor” for the purposes hereof, the parties will take into account the effect of any conditions precedent applicable to such amounts.
3(c)(iii) Margin Approach. The parties have agreed, in Paragraph 13, to implement one of the following approaches (each a “Margin Approach”) with respect to the relationship between “Margin Amount (IM)” and “Margin Amount (IA)”.
- (A) If the “Distinct Margin Flow (IM) Approach” is specified as applicable in Paragraph 13, the following provisions will apply:
- (1) “Credit Support Amount (IM)” means, with respect to a party as the Chargor, for any Calculation Date (IM), (i) the Margin Amount (IM) applicable to the Chargor, if any, minus (ii) the Chargor’s Threshold (IM); provided, however, that the Credit Support Amount (IM) will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of the Credit Support Amount (IM) yields a number less than zero.
- (2) No Amendment to Obligations in respect of Margin Amount (IA). The posting obligation of a Chargor in respect of any amount that constitutes a Margin Amount (IA) under any Other CSA shall not be affected or amended in any way by the provisions of this Deed.
- (B) If the “Allocated Margin Flow (IM/IA) Approach” is specified as applicable in Paragraph 13, the following provisions will apply:
- (1) “Credit Support Amount (IM)” means, with respect to a party as the Chargor, for any Calculation Date (IM), (i) the Margin Amount (IM) applicable to the Chargor, if any, minus (ii) the Chargor’s Threshold (IM); provided, however, that the Credit Support Amount (IM) will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of the Credit Support Amount (IM) yields a number less than zero.
- (2) Amendment to Obligations in respect of Margin Amount (IA). The posting obligation of a Chargor in respect of any amount that constitutes a Margin Amount (IA) under any Other CSA shall be reduced on an aggregate basis by the amount of the Chargor’s Credit Support Amount (IM); provided, however, that if, after such reduction, any such Margin Amount (IA) would be a negative amount, such Margin Amount (IA) will be deemed to be zero.
- (C) If the “Greater of Margin Flow (IM/IA) Approach” is specified as applicable in Paragraph 13, the following provisions will apply:
- (1) “Credit Support Amount (IM)” means, with respect to a party as the Chargor, for any Calculation Date (IM), the greater of (i)(A) the Margin Amount (IM) applicable to the Chargor, if any, minus (B) the Chargor’s Threshold (IM) and (ii) the Margin Amount (IA); provided, however, that the Credit Support Amount (IM) will be deemed to be zero whenever the calculation of the Credit Support Amount (IM) yields a number less than zero.
- (2) Amendment to Obligations in respect of Margin Amount (IA). The posting obligation of a Chargor in respect of any amount that constitutes a Margin Amount (IA) under any Other CSA, other than such obligations of a Chargor under this Deed, shall be reduced to zero.
Paragraph 4. Conditions Precedent, Transfers, Timing, Calculations and Substitutions
4(a) Conditions Precedent. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, each obligation of the Chargor to make a transfer under Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the Secured Party to instruct the Custodian (IM) to make a transfer under Paragraphs 3, 4(e)(iii), 5 and the provisions of Paragraph 13 relating to the return of Posted Credit Support (IM) with a Value of zero is subject to the conditions precedent that:

5(a) Disputed Calculations or Valuations. If a party (a “Disputing Party”) disputes (I) the Calculation Agent (IM)’s calculation of a Delivery Amount (IM) or a Return Amount (IM) or (II) the Value of any transfer of Eligible Credit Support (IM) or Posted Credit Support (IM), then:
- (i) the Disputing Party will notify the other party and the Calculation Agent (IM) (if the Calculation Agent (IM) is not the other party) not later than the close of business on (x) the date that the transfer is due in respect of such Delivery Amount (IM) or Return Amount (IM) in the case of (I) above, or (y) the Local Business Day following the date of transfer in the case of (II) above;
- (ii) subject to Paragraph 4(a) (if applicable), in the case of (I) above, the appropriate party will transfer the undisputed amount to the other party not later than the close of business on the date that the transfer is due in respect of such Delivery Amount (IM) or Return Amount (IM);
- (iii) the parties will consult with each other in an attempt to resolve the dispute; and
- (iv) if they fail to resolve the dispute by the Resolution Time, then:
- (A) in the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount (IM) or Return Amount (IM), the Calculation Agent (IM) will recalculate the Credit Support Amount (IM) and Value as of the Recalculation Date by using the procedures specified in Paragraph 13 for calculating the Credit Support Amount (IM), and for calculating the Value, if disputed, of Posted Credit Support (IM); and
- (B) in the case of a dispute involving the Value of any transfer of Eligible Credit Support (IM) or Posted Credit Support (IM), the Calculation Agent (IM) will recalculate the Value as of the date of transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13.

Following a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph 5, the Calculation Agent (IM) will notify each party (or the other party, if the Calculation Agent (IM) is a party) not later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following the Resolution Time. The appropriate party will, upon demand following that notice by the Calculation Agent (IM) or a resolution pursuant to Paragraph 5(a)(iii) above and subject to Paragraphs 4(a) (if applicable) and 4(c), make the appropriate transfer.
5(b) No Event of Default. The failure by a party to make a transfer of any amount which is the subject of a dispute to which Paragraph 5(a) above applies will not constitute an Event of Default for as long as the procedures set out in this Paragraph 5 (as supplemented by the provisions of Paragraph 13) are being carried out (but without prejudice to a party’s obligation to transfer the undisputed amount under Paragraph 5(a)(ii) above). For the avoidance of doubt, upon completion of those procedures, Section 5(a)(iii)(1) of the Agreement will apply to any failure by a party to make a transfer required under the final sentence of Paragraph 5(a) on the relevant due date (subject to Paragraph 7).
6. Custody Arrangements and the Control Agreement

- (i) the Chargor will be liable for the acts or omissions of the Custodian (IM) to the same extent that the Chargor would be liable hereunder for its own acts or omissions and any such act or omission of the Custodian (IM) will be deemed to be the act or omission of the Chargor for purposes of Paragraph 7 unless Custodian Event is specified as applicable in Paragraph 13, in which case, the consequences of any act or omission of the Custodian (IM) that constitutes a Custodian Event will be as set out in the “Custodian Event” provisions in Paragraph 13;
- (ii) the Secured Party will not be liable for the acts or omissions of the Custodian (IM); and
- (iii) any obligation of the Secured Party to instruct the Custodian (IM) to transfer Posted Credit Support (IM) to the Chargor will be deemed satisfied by the Secured Party’s sending appropriate instructions to the Custodian (IM) in accordance with the terms of the Control Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the Secured Party will bear no liability for the failure of:
- (A) the Custodian (IM) to comply with such instructions; or
- (B) the Chargor to provide matched instructions with the Secured Party to the extent required under the Control Agreement in order to give effect to such a transfer of Posted Credit Support (IM) by the Custodian (IM),
- (A) the Custodian (IM) to comply with such instructions; or
