(iii) the holder thereof at his option to convert or exchange such obligation into equity or any other property and/or

(iv) any trustee for the holders thereof to convert or exchange that obligation into equity or other property where (x) such trustee is either satisfied or has been advised (in accordance with the terms of such obligation) that the net proceeds of an immediate sale of the equity or other property arising from such conversion or exchange would be likely to exceed the redemption monies and interest otherwise payable in respect of such obligation and (y) those terms require the sale by or on behalf of the trustee of the equity or other property arising from such conversion or exchange and the rateable distribution f the

22

net proceeds of such sale to the holders of that obligation.

(ii) is a Loan that is, as of the relevant Valuation Date, capable of being assigned or novated with the consent of the relevant Reference Entity or the guarantor, if any, of such Loan (or the consent of the relevant borrower if a Reference Entity is guaranteeing such Loan) or any agent.

In the event that a Credit Event has occurred prior to the Maturity Date, the Redemption Amount shall be the Aggregate Recovery Proceeds multiplied by Factor.

"Factor" means on any day the Denomination of the relevant Note divided by the aggregate principal amount of the Notes in issue on such day, including Notes of any Series forming a single series with the Notes.

"Aggregate Recovery Proceeds" means an amount determined by the Calculation Agent on the Final Valuation Date is to be either:

25

26

of the Notes in issue on such day, including Notes of any Series forming a single series with the Notes.

The Calculation Agent shall require each Dealer to provide firm bid quotations (exclusive of unpaid interest and expressed as a percentage of the unpaid principal) for a purchase of an amount of the Reference Obligation of the relevant Defaulted Credit with an outstanding principal amount or Due and Payable Amount equal to the Quotation Amount (a "Full Quotation") as of the Valuation Time on such Valuation Date. The Calculation Agent shall (if applicable) adjust each such quote to deduct the value attributable to any collateral or other credit enhancement arrangements. If at least two such Full Quotations are not available on the same Valuation Business Day, within three Valuation Business Days of the relevant Valuation Date, then on the next Valuation Business Day, (and, if necessary, on each Valuation Business Day thereafter until the tenth Valuation Business Day following the relevant Valuation Date) the Calculation Agent shall attempt to obtain such Full Quotations from at least five Dealers and, if at least two such Full Quotations are not available a Weighted Average Quotation. If the Calculation Agent is unable to obtain two Full Quotations or a Weighted Average Quotation on the same Valuation Business Day on or prior to the tenth Valuation Business Day following the relevant Valuation Date, the Final Price shall be deemed to be zero.

"Weighted Average Quotation" means the weighted average of the highest firm quotations obtained from Dealers at the Valuation Time, to the extent reasonably practical, each for an amount of the Reference Obligation with an outstanding principal amount or Due and Payable Amount (as the case may be) of as large a size as available but less than the Quotation Amount (but of a size at least equal to the equivalent of USD 1,000,000 or, if quotations of such size are not available as near in size as practicable to the equivalent of USD 1,000,000) that in the aggregate are equal to of greater than the Quotation Amount.
