Save (Milan: SAVE.MI - news) as otherwise defined, words and expressions used in this Extraordinary Resolution have the meanings given to them in the Note Trust Deed or the Portfolio Credit Swap, as the case may be.
"Auction Valuation Modifications" means the modification of:
(A) the Portfolio Credit Swap to provide that:
(i)(1) notwithstanding the current provisions for the valuation of loss following the occurrence of a Credit Event with respect to a Corporate Reference Entity and a Sub-Portfolio and the satisfaction of the Conditions to Settlement with respect to such Reference Entity and Sub-Portfolio, if (aa) ISDA publicly announces (an "ISDA Auction Announcement") that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee (as defined in the CDS Definitions) has resolved that an auction (an "Auction") will be held in connection with such Credit Event (or, in the case of a Credit Event that is a Restructuring and Mod R or Mod Mod R is applicable or deemed applicable with respect to such Reference Entity, an Auction will be held for the Relevant Maturity Bucket) and (bb) an Auction Conversion Event has occurred, then the "Final Price" to be used in the valuation of the loss in respect of the relevant Reference Entity and Credit Event shall be the Auction Price; (2) if either (aa) an Auction will not be held in connection with a Credit Event (or, in the case of a Credit Event that is a Restructuring and Mod R or Mod Mod R is applicable or deemed applicable with respect to such Reference Entity, the Relevant Maturity Bucket) or (bb) an Auction Conversion Event has not occurred, then the Final Price shall be determined in accordance with the market valuation provisions set forth in the Portfolio Credit Swap as applicable prior to any modifications pursuant to this Extraordinary Resolution; and (3) the Calculation Agent shall make commercially reasonable efforts to provide written notice to each of the Portfolio Swap Counterparty and the Issuer promptly upon (aa) learning of each ISDA Auction Announcement and (bb) the occurrence of an Auction Conversion Event; provided, however, that under no circumstances shall the Calculation Agentâs failure to provide any such notice constitute an Event of Default or Termination Event under the Portfolio Credit Swap; and
(ii) notwithstanding the fact that the Reference Registry may not denote "R", "Mod R" or "Mod Mod R" as applicable to a Reference Entity, "R", "Mod R" or "Mod Mod R", as the case may be, shall apply to such Reference Entity if any such designation is applicable to a Transaction Type correlating to an entity incorporated or established in the Designated Country of such Reference Entity pursuant to the then current version of the Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix provided, however, that where, in the opinion of the Calculation Agent, there is ambiguity as to which Transaction Type correlates to an entity incorporated or established in the Designated Country of such Reference Entity, such Transaction Type shall be determined by the Calculation Agent in its sole discretion;
For the purposes of this provision:
"Auction Conversion Event" means, subject to the passing of this Extraordinary Resolution, the satisfaction of the following conditions, which the Portfolio Swap Counterparty shall be required to make commercially reasonable efforts to pursue: (i) the amendment of the Portfolio Credit Swap and any relevant Transaction Documents to incorporate the modifications described in this Extraordinary Resolution and (ii) the approval of the Belgian State in writing, of each such amendment to the Transaction Documents.
"Auction Price" means the "Auction Final Price" determined pursuant to an Auction (or, in the case of a Credit Event that is a Restructuring and Mod R or Mod Mod R is applicable or deemed applicable with respect to such Reference Entity, the Auction Final Price for the Relevant Maturity Bucket) in accordance with the relevant Credit Derivative Auction Settlement Terms published by ISDA in connection with the relevant Credit Event and subject to the CDS Definitions.
"CDS Definitions" means the 2003 ISDA Credit Derivatives Definitions, as supplemented by the 2009 ISDA Credit Derivatives Determination Committees, Settlement and Restructuring Supplement, published on July 14, 2009 (each as published by ISDA).
"Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix" means the Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix as most recently amended and supplemented and as published by ISDA on its website at www.isda.org (or any successor website thereto).
"Designated Country" means, in respect of a Reference Entity, the country specified in the Reference Registry in respect of such Reference Entity.
"ISDA" means the International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc.
"Relevant Maturity Bucket" means, with respect to the Transaction and following the occurrence of a Restructuring Credit Event, the "bucket" for the Transaction, as determined by the Calculation Agent, based on its Scheduled Termination Date, in accordance with the relevant Credit Derivative Auction Settlement Terms published by ISDA or, if an Auction will not be held with respect to such a bucket, if the Buyer so elects, the next earliest bucket for which an Auction will be held. For the avoidance of doubt, if an Auction will not be held with respect to the bucket for the Transaction as so determined by the Calculation Agent and the Buyer does not elect to have the Relevant Maturity Bucket be the next earliest bucket for which an Auction will be held, then for purposes of the Swap Confirmation there shall be no Auction held in connection with the relevant "bucket".
"Transaction" means the credit derivative transaction entered into between the Issuer and KBC Investments Cayman Islands V, Ltd. (the "Portfolio Swap Counterparty") and evidenced by a confirmation dated 24 October 2005 (the "Swap Confirmation") supplementing an ISDA Master Agreement dated 24 October 2005 between the Issuer and the Portfolio Swap Counterparty. The ISDA Master Agreement together with the schedule thereto and the Swap Confirmation, the "Portfolio Credit Swap".
"Transaction Type" shall be determined in accordance with the Credit Derivatives Physical Settlement Matrix;
(B) the Portfolio Credit Swap to provide that with regard to a Credit Event (with respect to a Corporate Reference Entity and a Sub-Portfolio) for which the Conditions to Settlement with respect to such Reference Entity and Sub-Portfolio were satisfied prior to the date of any modification to the Portfolio Credit Swap to take account of this Extraordinary Resolution but for which the Final Price has not been determined as at the date of the relevant modification then, provided that by the date of the relevant modification (a) an ISDA Auction Announcement has been made to the effect that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has resolved that an Auction will be held or such Auction has been held in connection with such Credit Event (or, in the case of a Credit Event that is a Restructuring and Mod R or Mod Mod R is applicable or deemed applicable with respect to such Reference Entity, an Auction will be held for the Relevant Maturity Bucket or such Auction has been held) and (b) an Auction Conversion Event occurs, then the Final Price in respect of such Credit Event shall be the Auction Price; and
(C) the Portfolio Credit Swap and/or any other Transaction Document to make any other consequential amendments determined by the Portfolio Swap Counterparty to be necessary to give effect to the amendments proposed in paragraphs (A) and (B) above, to disapply provisions of the Transaction Documents that have become redundant as a consequence of such amendments or otherwise make amendments that are considered by the Portfolio Swap Counterparty, acting in good faith, to be necessary to give effect to the commercial agreement reflected in this Extraordinary Resolution."
