Amendment No. 1 to Statement on Schedule 13D

This Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13D (the “Statement”) relates to shares of Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), of Virgin Media Inc. (the “Company”).  This Amendment No. 1 supplementally amends the initial statement on Schedule 13D, dated July 14, 2006 (the “Initial Statement”), filed by the Reporting Persons (as defined in Item 2 hereof).  This Amendment No. 1 is being filed by the Reporting Persons to report that VEIHL has entered into a prepaid collar arrangement with respect to 12,847,860 shares of Common Stock.  Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Initial Statement.  The Initial Statement is supplementally amended as follows.


Item 2. Identity and Background

Item 2 of the Initial Statement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a), (b), (c) and (f).  This Statement is being filed jointly by:

(i)  Deutsche Bank Trustee Services (Guernsey) Limited (“DBTSGL”), a company governed under the laws of Guernsey, in its capacity as Trustee, and on behalf, of The Virgo Trust, The Libra Trust, The Jupiter Trust, The Mars Trust, The Venus Trust, The Leo Trust and The Gemini Trust (the “DB Trusts”), trusts governed under the laws of England and Wales; Abacus (C.I.) Limited (“ACIL”), a company governed under the laws of Jersey, in its capacity as Trustee, and on behalf, of The Aquarius Trust, The Aries Trust, The Capricorn Trust, The Pisces Trust and The Saturn Trust (the “Abacus Trusts”) and, together with the DB Trusts, the Trusts”), trusts governed under the laws of England and Wales;

(ii)  Cougar Investments Limited (“Cougar”), a Jersey company;

 

(iii)  Plough Investments Limited (“Plough”), a Jersey company;

(iv)  Sir Richard Charles Nicholas Branson (“Richard Branson”), a citizen of the United Kingdom;

(v)  Gamay Holdings Limited (“Gamay”), a British Virgin Islands corporation;

(vi)  Virgin Group Holdings Limited (“VGHL”), a British Virgin Islands corporation;

(vii)  Corvina Holdings Limited (“Corvina”), a British Virgin Islands corporation; and

(viii)  Virgin Entertainment Investment Holdings Limited (“VEIHL”), a British Virgin Islands holding company.

VEIHL is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Corvina.  Corvina is held as to approximately 87% by VGHL.  The remaining 13% of Corvina is owned jointly by Gamay and certain senior executives of the Virgin Group.  Gamay is a wholly owned subsidiary of VGHL.  VGHL is jointly owned by Sir Richard Branson, Cougar, Plough, the DB Trusts and the Abacus Trusts.  The principal beneficiaries of the DB Trusts and the Abacus Trusts are Sir Richard Branson and/or certain members of his family.

DBTSGL, ACIL, Cougar, Plough, Richard Branson, Gamay, VGHL, Corvina and VEIHL are collectively referred to herein as the “Reporting Persons.”  Set forth in Annex A attached hereto are the business address and principal business of each of the Reporting Persons.

Set forth in Annex B attached hereto is a listing of the directors and executive officers of each of the Reporting Persons (the “Covered Persons”) as well as the business address, present principal occupation or employment and citizenship of each of the Covered Persons, and is incorporated herein by reference.






Page 12




(d) and (e). None of the Reporting Persons, or to the best of their knowledge, the Covered Persons, has, during the last five years, (i) been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors) or (ii) been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction as a result of which any of them is or was subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or finding a violation in respect to such laws.


Item 5. Interests in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5(a), Item 5(b) and Item 5(c) of the Initial Statement are hereby amended and restated in their entirety as follows:

(a)-(b)  As of the filing date of this Schedule 13D, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to have:  (i) beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act); and (ii) shared power to vote or direct the vote of 34,260,959 shares of Common Stock (representing 10.46% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock as of June 7, 2007) for the reasons set forth below.  As described in Item 6 hereof, 12,847,860 shares of Common Stock owned by VEIHL are subject to a Collar Arrangement (as defined in Item 6 hereof).  The Reporting Persons have retained all voting rights with respect to these shares and accordingly continue to be deemed the beneficial owners of such shares.  As a result of a pledge entered into in connection with the Collar Arrangement, however, the Reporting Persons do not have dispositive power with respect to the Pledged Shares (as d efined in Item 6 hereof).

Each of the Reporting Persons other than VEIHL does not directly own any shares of Common Stock.  However, each of the Reporting Persons has the ability to direct the management, business and affairs of its wholly-owned subsidiary, including with respect to voting, or disposal, of the Common Stock held by VEIHL.  VEIHL, which directly holds the shares of Common Stock, has the direct power to vote and dispose of such shares.  The Reporting Persons’ ability to vote and dispose of shares of Common Stock is subject to the terms of the Investment Agreement and to the terms of the Collar Arrangement.  The information set forth in Item 6 hereof is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 5.

 (c)

To the best of the Reporting Persons’ knowledge, there have been no transactions effected with respect to shares of Common Stock during the past 60 days by any of the persons named in response to Item 2, other than the entry into the Collar Arrangement described in Item 6, which is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Initial Statement is hereby supplemented by the following:

On June 5, 2007, VEIHL entered into a prepaid collar arrangement (the “Collar Arrangement”) with an unaffiliated third party buyer pursuant to which VEIHL wrote a covered call option and purchased a put option over 12,847,860 shares of Common Stock.  Only one of the options can be in the money on June 5, 2009, or an earlier date if the parties agree to terminate the prepaid collar arrangement early (the “Expiration Date”), at which time the in-the-money option will be exercised (and, if it is the call option, settled in cash or in shares of Common Stock or, if it is the put option, settled in cash), and the other option will expire.  If neither option is in the money on the Expiration Date, both options will expire.  As part of the transaction, VEIHL has also received a prepayment of $224,872,294 (the “Prepayment Amount”), equal to the net presen t value of the amount that may be payable to VEIHL under the put option.  This Prepayment Amount will be repayable by VEIHL on the Expiration Date.  VEIHL has pledged 12,847,860 shares of Common Stock (the “Pledged Shares”) to secure its obligations under the prepaid collar arrangement.  VEIHL will retain voting rights and rights to ordinary dividends under the Pledged Shares during the term of the pledge.  The amount of cash (or number of shares of Common Stock) to be delivered on the Expiration Date will be determined based upon the volume weighted average price of Common Stock on the 20 trading days immediately preceding the Expiration Date of the prepaid collar arrangement (the “Settlement Price”).  The prepaid collar arrangement has a floor price of $19.68 (the






Page 13




“Floor Price”) and a cap price of $31.98 (the “Cap Price”).  If the Settlement Price is greater than the Cap Price on the Expiration Date, VEIHL will deliver cash (or shares of Common Stock) equal to the difference between the Settlement Price and the Cap Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the prepaid collar arrangement.  If the Settlement Price is less than the Floor Price on the Expiration Date, VEIHL will receive cash equal to the difference between the Floor Price and the Settlement Price multiplied by the number of shares of Common Stock underlying the prepaid collar arrangement.  The default method of settlement under the prepaid collar arrangement is cash settlement rather than physical settlement.  

Forms of the ISDA Master Agreement, Schedule to the ISDA Master Agreement, Confirmation and Credit Support Deed pursuant to which the Collar Arrangement was entered into are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.4, 99.5, 99.6 and 99.7, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:—

Definitions. The terms defined in Section 14 and elsewhere in this Master Agreement will have the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.


(b)

Inconsistency. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement, such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant Transaction.


(c)

Single Agreement. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement between the parties (collectively referred to as this “Agreement”), and the parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.

(a)

General Conditions.


(i)

Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement.


(ii)

Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in this Agreement.

compensation in respect of that obligation or deferred obligation, as the case may be, pursuant to Section 9(h)(ii)(l) or (2), as appropriate. The fair market value of any obligation referred to in clause (b) above will be determined as of the originally scheduled date for delivery, in good faith and using commercially reasonable procedures, by the party obliged to make the determination under Section 6(e) or, if each party is so obliged, it will be the average of the Termination Currency Equivalents of the fair market values so determined by both parties.

(b)

in respect of an event or circumstance under Section 5(b)(ii), other than in the case of Section 5(b)(ii)(2) where the relevant payment, delivery or compliance is actually required on the relevant day (in which case no Waiting Period will apply), a period of eight Local Business Days (or days that would have been Local Business Days but for the occurrence of that event or circumstance) following the occurrence of that event or circumstance.

Threshold Amount


"Threshold Amount" means:


(i) with respect to Party A, the lesser of three percent (3%) of the shareholders’ equity of Party A (as shown in the most recent audited financial statements of Party A) and USD 25,000,000 (including the United States Dollar equivalent of obligations stated in any other currency or currency unit); and

Termination Currency.  "Termination Currency" means the currency selected by the party which is not the Defaulting Party or the Affected Party, as the case may be, or where there is more than one Affected Party the currency agreed by Party A and Party B.  However, the Termination Currency will be one of the currencies in which payments are required to be made in respect of Transactions.  If the currency selected is not freely available, or where there are two Affected Parties and they cannot agree on a Termination Currency, the Termination Currency will be United States Dollars.


(g)

Additional Termination Event.  Additional Termination Event will not apply.

Other Provisions:


Optional Early Termination by Counterparty:


At any time, Counterparty may terminate the Transaction in whole or in part upon twenty (20) Exchange Business Days’ prior written notice to CS (the termination date specified in such notice, the “Optional Termination Date”); provided, that Counterparty is not on the date of such notice in possession of any material non-public information relating to the Shares or the Issuer.  If Counterparty terminates the Transaction in part, Counterparty shall specify in the notice of optional early termination, the number of Shares with respect to which the Transaction is to be terminated.


If Counterparty notifies CS that it wishes to terminate the Transaction in whole or in part, CS shall provide Counterparty with a price for such optional early termination which shall be calculated by CS (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) as the amount equivalent to (a) the cost to CS of unwinding the derivative embedded in the Transaction and (b) the cost to CS of unwinding its Hedge Positions in the market or otherwise on or prior to the Optional Termination Date (the “Optional Termination Price”).  If Counterparty accepts the Optional Termination Price quoted by CS, the Transaction will terminate on the Optional Termination Date and Counterparty shall make a cash payment to CS (or vice versa, as the case may be) on the Optional Termination Date in an amount equal to the Optional Termination Price.



6





If Counterparty terminates the Transaction in part, the Number of Shares shall be reduced by such number of Shares with respect to which such Transaction has been terminated.  


Counterparty may at any time assign, novate or otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under the Agreement (in whole but not in part) (a "Transfer") to a third party (the "Third Party") subject to the following conditions:


1.

the standard credit lines and policies of CS allow it to trade with the Third Party; and


2.

the Third Party or its Credit Support Provider enters into a Credit Support Document in form and substances acceptable to CS and provides such other evidence and opinions in support of that Credit Support Document and the Transferred obligations as CS may reasonably require.


Counterparty and CS agree to execute all relevant documentation to effect the Transfer.  


Additional Representations and Warranties:

Form of Issuer Acknowledgment

[LETTERHEAD OF VIRGIN MEDIA INC.]


June__, 2007




Credit Suisse International

One Cabot Square

London

E14 4QJ


Re: Proposed Transaction by Virgin Entertainment Investment Holdings Limited


Ladies and Gentlemen:


Credit Suisse International (“CS” or “you”) and Virgin Entertainment Investment Holdings Limited (“VEIHL”) have advised us of your intention to enter into an equity derivative hedging transaction (the “Transaction”) that would involve, among other things, a transfer by VEIHL to you of ____________ shares of our Common Stock (the “Transfer”) on May __, 2007 (the “Settlement Date”) and pledge by VEIHL to you of ________ shares of our Common Stock (the “Pledge”) to secure VEIHL’s obligations pursuant to the Transaction.  We have no objection to the Transaction, the Transfer or the Pledge.


We note that VEIHL is entitled to enter into the Transaction in respect of this number of shares of our Common Stock in accordance with Section 3.1(d) of its Investment Agreement with us dated as of April 3, 2006 (the “Investment Agreement”).  We note, however, VEIHL’s obligation to carry out the Transaction in accordance with, inter alia, Sections 3.1(h) and 4.1(b) of the Investment Agreement, including its obligation to obtain from you the undertakings set forth in Section 4.1(b) of the Investment Agreement.  Additionally, the shares of our Common Stock issued to VEIHL were issued in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 in accordance with Section 3(a)(10) of the Act, and consequently cannot be transferred without registration under the Act except pursuant to Rule 145(d) promulgated under the Act or another applicable exemption from registration under the Act.  CS should obtain its own advice in respect of subsequent transfers by it of shares of our Common Stock acquired in the Transaction.  


We agree that, subject to applicable law (including but not limited to the U.S. federal securities laws) and court orders and your compliance with Section 4.1(b) of the Investment Agreement: (i) on the Settlement Date, we shall cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock promptly to register the Transfer to CS; and (ii) if CS forecloses on any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Pledge, we shall, subject to the satisfaction by you of all preconditions to such transfer set forth in Section 8-401 of the Uniform Commercial Code of the State of Delaware, cause the transfer agent for the Common Stock promptly to register the transfer of the shares of Common Stock subject to such foreclosure from VEIHL to CS, or to the buyer in any foreclosure sale, as directed by CS.


Sincerely,

 

Virgin Media Inc.

CREDIT SUPPORT DEED

Between


Credit Suisse International

Virgin Entertainment Investment Holdings Ltd

(“Party A”)

(“Party B”)

made on

4th June 2007


relating to the

ISDA Master Agreement

dated as of 4th June 2007 between Party A and Party B.


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”).

Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:

Paragraph 5.  Interpretation

(a)

Definitions and Inconsistency. Unless otherwise defined in this Deed, capitalised terms defined in the Agreement have the same meaning 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, this Deed will prevail, and in the event of any inconsistency between Paragraph 13 and the other provisions of this Deed, Paragraph 13 will prevail. For the avoidance of doubt, references to “transfer” in this Deed mean, in relation to cash, payment and, in relation to other assets, delivery.

(b)

Secured Party and Chargor. 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 if Other Posted Support is held by a party to this Deed, all references in this Deed to that party as the Secured Party with respect to that Other Posted Support will be to that party as the beneficiary of that Other Posted Support and will not subject that support or that party as the beneficiary of that Other Posted Support to provisions of law generally relating to security interests and secured parties.

Paragraph 2.  Security

(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.

(b)

Security. Each party as the Chargor, as security for the performance of the Obligations:
(i) mortgages, charges and pledges and agrees to mortgage, charge and pledge, with full title guarantee, in favour of the Secured Party by way of first fixed legal mortgage all Posted Collateral (other than Posted Collateral in the form of cash), (ii) to the fullest extent permitted by law, charges and agrees to charge, with full title guarantee, in favour of the Secured Party by way of first fixed charge all Posted Collateral in the form of



1



cash; and (iii) assigns and agrees to assign, with full title guarantee, the Assigned Rights to the Secured Party absolutely.

(c)

Release of Security. Upon the transfer by the Secured Party to the Chargor of Posted Collateral, the security interest granted under this Deed on that Posted Collateral will be released immediately, and the Assigned Rights relating to that Posted Collateral will be re-assigned to the Chargor, in each case without any further action by either party. The Chargor agrees, in relation to any securities comprised in Posted Collateral released by the Secured Party under this Deed, that it will accept securities of the same type, nominal value, description and amount as those securities.

(d)

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, the Secured Party may open a new account with or continue any existing account with the Chargor 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.

(e)

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;

(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.

(f)

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.

(g)

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.

Paragraph 3.  Credit Support Obligations

(a)

Delivery Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Secured Party on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Delivery Amount for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the



2



Chargor ‘s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Chargor will transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support having a Value as of the date of transfer at least equal to the applicable Delivery Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the “Delivery Amount” applicable to the Chargor for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:

(i)

the Credit Support Amount

exceeds

(ii)

the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party (as adjusted to include any prior Delivery Amount and to exclude any prior Return Amount, the transfer of which, in either case, has not yet been completed and for which the relevant Settlement Day falls on or after such Valuation Date).

(b)

Return Amount. Subject to Paragraphs 4 and 5, upon a demand made by the Chargor on or promptly following a Valuation Date, if the Return Amount for that Valuation Date equals or exceeds the Secured Party’s Minimum Transfer Amount, then the Secured Party will transfer to the Chargor Posted Credit Support specified by the Chargor in that demand having a Value as of the date of transfer as close as practicable to the applicable Return Amount (rounded pursuant to Paragraph 13). Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the “Return Amount” applicable to the Secured Party for any Valuation Date will equal the amount by which:

(i)

the Value as of that Valuation Date of all Posted Credit Support held by the Secured Party (as adjusted to include any prior Delivery Amount and to exclude any prior Return Amount, the transfer of which, in either case, has not yet been completed and for which the relevant Settlement Day falls on or after such Valuation Date)

exceeds

(ii)

the Credit Support Amount.

Paragraph 4.  Conditions Precedent, Transfers, Calculations and Substitutions

(a)

Conditions Precedent. Each transfer obligation of the Chargor under Paragraphs 3 and 5 and of the Secured Party under Paragraphs 3, 4(d)(ii), 5 and 6(g) is subject to the conditions precedent that:

(i)

no Event of Default, Potential Event of Default or Specified Condition has occurred and is continuing with respect to the other party; and

(ii)

no Early Termination Date for which any unsatisfied payment obligations exist has occurred or been designated as the result of an Event of Default or Specified Condition with respect to the other party.

(b)

Transfers. All transfers under this Deed of any Eligible Credit Support, Posted Credit Support, Interest Amount or Distributions, shall be made in accordance with the instructions of the Secured Party, Chargor or Custodian, as applicable, and shall be made:

(i)

in the case of cash, by transfer into one or more bank accounts specified by the recipient;

(ii)

in the case of certificated securities which cannot or which the parties have agreed will not be delivered by book-entry, by delivery in appropriate physical form to the recipient or its account accompanied by any duly executed instruments of transfer, assignments in blank, transfer tax stamps and any other documents necessary to constitute a legally valid transfer to the recipient;

(iii)

in the case of securities which the parties have agreed will be delivered by book-entry, by the giving of written instructions (including, for the avoidance of doubt, instructions given by telex,  facsimile transmission or electronic messaging system) to the relevant depository institution or other entity specified by the recipient, together with a written copy of the instructions to the recipient,



3



sufficient, if complied with, to result in a legally effective transfer of the relevant interest to the recipient; and

(iv)

in the case of Other Eligible Support or Other Posted Support, as specified in Paragraph
13(j)(ii).

Subject to Paragraph 5 and unless otherwise specified, if a demand for the transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support is received by the Notification Time, then the relevant transfer will be made not later than the close of business on the Settlement Day relating to the date such demand is received; if a demand is received after the Notification Time, then the relevant transfer will be made not later than the close of business on the Settlement Day relating to the day after the date such demand is received.

(c)

Calculations. All calculations of Value and Exposure for purposes of Paragraphs 3 and 5(a) will be made by the relevant Valuation Agent as of the relevant Valuation Time. The Valuation Agent will notify each party (or the other party, if the relevant Valuation Agent is a party) of its calculations not later than the Notification Time on the Local Business Day following the applicable Valuation Date (or, in the case of Paragraph 5(a), following the date of calculation).

(d)

Substitutions

(i)

Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Chargor may on any Local Business Day by notice (a “Substitution Notice”) inform the Secured Party that it wishes to transfer to the Secured Party Eligible Credit Support (the “Substitute Credit Support”) specified in that Substitution Notice in substitution for certain Eligible Credit Support (the “Original Credit Support”) specified in the Substitution Notice comprised in the Chargor’s Posted Collateral.

(ii)

If the Secured Party notifies the Chargor that it has consented to the proposed substitution, (A) the Chargor will be obliged to transfer the Substitute Credit Support to the Secured Party on the first Settlement Day following the date on which it receives notice (which may be oral telephonic notice) from the Secured Party of its consent and (B) subject to Paragraph 4(a), the Secured Party will be obliged to transfer to the Chargor the Original Credit Support not later than the Settlement Day following the date on which the Secured Party receives the Substitute Credit Support, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13(f) (the “Substitution Date”); provided that the Secured Party will only be obliged to transfer Original Credit Support with a Value as of the date of transfer as close as practicable to, but in any event not more than, the Value of the Substitute Credit Support as of that date.

Paragraph 5.  Dispute Resolution

(a)

Disputed Calculations or Valuations. If a party (a “Disputing Party”) reasonably disputes (I) the Valuation Agent’s calculation of a Delivery Amount or a Return Amount or (II) the Value of any transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, then:

(1)

the Disputing Party will notify the other party and the Valuation Agent (if the Valuation Agent is not the other party) not later than the close of business on the Local Business Day following, in the case of (I) above, the date that the demand is received under Paragraph 3 or, in the case of (II) above, the date of transfer;

(2)

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 Settlement Day following the date that the demand is received under Paragraph 3;

(3)

the parties will consult with each other in an attempt to resolve the dispute; and

(4)

if they fail to resolve the dispute by the Resolution Time, then:



4



(i)

in the case of a dispute involving a Delivery Amount or Return Amount, unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Exposure and the Value as of the Recalculation Date by:

(A)

utilising any calculations of that part of the Exposure attributable to the Transactions that the parties have agreed are not in dispute;

(B)

calculating that part of the Exposure attributable to the Transactions in dispute by seeking four actual quotations at mid-market from Reference Marketmakers for purposes of calculating Market Quotation, and taking the arithmetic mean of those obtained; provided that if four quotations are not available for a particular Transaction, then fewer than four quotations may be used for that Transaction, and if no quotations are available for a particular Transaction, then the Valuation Agent’s original calculations will be used for that Transaction; and

(C)

utilising the procedures specified in Paragraph 13(g)(ii) for calculating the Value, if disputed, of Posted Credit Support;

(ii)

in the case of a dispute involving the Value of any transfer of Eligible Credit Support or Posted Credit Support, the Valuation Agent will recalculate the Value as of the date of transfer pursuant to Paragraph 13(g)(ii).

Following a recalculation pursuant to this Paragraph, the Valuation Agent will notify each party (or the other party, if the Valuation Agent is a party) as soon as possible but in any event 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 Valuation Agent or a resolution pursuant to (3) above and subject to Paragraphs 4(a) and 4(b), make the appropriate transfer.

(b)

Not a Relevant Event. The failure by a party to make a transfer of any amount which is the subject of a dispute to which Paragraph 5(a) applies will not constitute a Relevant Event under Paragraph 7 for as long as the procedures set out in Paragraph 5 are being carried out. For the avoidance of doubt, upon completion of those procedures, Paragraph 7 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.

Paragraph 6.  Holding Posted Collateral

(a)

Care of Posted Collateral. The Secured Party will exercise reasonable care to assure the safe custody of all Posted Collateral to the extent required by applicable law. Except as specified in the preceding sentence, the Secured Party will have no duty with respect to Posted Collateral, including, without limitation, any duty to collect any Distributions, or enforce or preserve any rights pertaining to the Posted Collateral.

(b)

Eligibility to Hold Posted Collateral; Custodians.

(i)

General. Subject to the satisfaction of any conditions specified in Paragraph 13 for holding Posted Collateral, the Secured Party will be entitled to hold Posted Collateral or to appoint an agent (a “Custodian”) to hold Posted Collateral for the Secured Party. Upon notice by the Secured Party to the Chargor of the appointment of a Custodian, the Chargor ‘s obligations to make any transfer will be discharged by making the transfer to that Custodian. The holding of Posted Collateral by a Custodian will be deemed to be the holding of that Posted Collateral by the Secured Party for which the Custodian is acting.

(ii)

Failure to Satisfy Conditions. If the Secured Party or its Custodian fails to satisfy any conditions for holding Posted Collateral, then upon a demand made by the Chargor, the Secured Party will, not later than five Local Business Days after the demand, transfer or cause its Custodian to



5



transfer all Posted Collateral held by it to a Custodian that satisfies those conditions or to the Secured Party if it satisfies those conditions.

(iii)

Liability. The Secured Party will be liable for the acts or omissions of its Custodian to the same extent that the Secured Party would be liable under this Deed for its own acts or omissions.

(c)

Segregated Accounts. The Secured Party shall, and shall cause any Custodian to, open and/or maintain one or more segregated accounts (the “Segregated Accounts”), as appropriate, in which to hold Posted Collateral (other than Posted Collateral in the form of cash) under this Deed. The Secured Party and any Custodian shall each hold, record and/or identify in the relevant Segregated Accounts all Posted Collateral (other than Posted Collateral in the form of cash) held in relation to the Chargor, and, except as provided otherwise herein, such Collateral shall at all times be and remain the property of the Chargor and segregated from the property of the Secured Party or the relevant Custodian, as the case may be, and shall at no time constitute the property of, or be commingled with the property of, the Secured Party or such Custodian.

(d)

No Use of Collateral. For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the rights of the Secured Party under the other provisions of this Deed, the Secured Party will not have the right to sell, pledge, rehypothecate, assign, invest, use, commingle or otherwise dispose of, or otherwise use in its business any Posted Collateral it holds under this Deed.

(e)

Rights Accompanying Posted Collateral.

(i)

Distributions and Voting Rights. Unless and until a Relevant Event or a Specified Condition occurs the Chargor shall be entitled:

(A)

to all Distributions; and

(B)

to exercise, or to direct the Secured Party to exercise, any voting rights attached to any of the Posted Collateral (but only in a manner consistent with the terms of this Deed) and, if any expense would be incurred by the Secured Party in doing so, only to the extent that the Chargor paid to the Secured Party in advance of any such exercise an amount sufficient to cover that expense.

(ii)

Exercise by Secured Party. At any time after the occurrence of a Relevant Event or Specified Condition and without any further consent or authority on the part of the Chargor the Secured Party may exercise at its discretion (in the name of the Chargor or otherwise) in respect of any of the Posted Collateral any voting rights and any powers or rights which may be exercised by the person or persons in whose name or names the Posted Collateral is registered or who is the holder or bearer of them including (but without limitation) all the powers given to trustees by sections 10(3) and (4) of the Trustee Act 1925 (as amended by section 9 of the Trustee Investments Act 1961) in respect of securities or property subject to a trust. If the Secured Party exercises any such rights or powers, it will give notice of the same to the Chargor as soon as practicable.

(f)

Calls and Other Obligations

(i)

Payment of Calls. The Chargor will pay all calls or other payments which may become due in respect of any of the Posted Collateral and if it fails to do so the Secured Party may elect to make such payments on behalf of the Chargor. Any sums so paid by the Secured Party shall be repayable by the Chargor to the Secured Party on demand together with interest at the Default Rate from the date of such payment by the Secured Party and pending such repayment shall form part of the Obligations.

(ii)

Requests for Information. The Chargor shall promptly copy to the Secured Party and comply with all requests for information which is within its knowledge and which are made under section 212 of the Companies Act 1985 or any similar provision contained in any articles of association or other



6



constitutional document relating to any of the Posted Collateral and if it fails to do so the Secured Party may elect to provide such information as it may have on behalf of the Chargor.

(iii)

Continuing Liability of Chargor. The Chargor shall remain liable to observe and perform all of the other conditions and obligations assumed by it in respect of any of the Posted Collateral.

(iv)

No Liability of Secured Party. The Secured Party shall not be required to perform or fulfil any obligation of the Chargor in respect of the Posted Collateral or to make any payment, or to make any enquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by it or the Chargor, or to present or file any claim or take any other action to collect or enforce the payment of any amount to which it may have been or to which it may be entitled under this Deed at any time.

(g)

Distributions and Interest Amount.

(i)

Distributions. The Secured Party will transfer to the Chargor not later than the Settlement Day following each Distributions Date any Distributions it receives to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by the transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed a Valuation Date for this purpose).

(ii)

Interest Amount. Unless otherwise specified in Paragraph 13(i)(iii), with respect to Posted Collateral in the form of cash, the Secured Party will transfer to the Chargor at the times specified in Paragraph 13(i)(ii) the Interest Amount to the extent that a Delivery Amount would not be created or increased by that transfer, as calculated by the Valuation Agent (and the date of calculation will be deemed to be a Valuation Date for this purpose).

Any Distributions or Interest Amount (or portion of either) not transferred pursuant to this Paragraph will constitute Posted Collateral and will be subject to the security interest granted under Paragraph 2(b) or otherwise will be subject to the set-off provided in Paragraph 8(a)(ii).

Paragraph 7.  Default

For purposes of this Deed, a “Relevant Event” will have occurred with respect to a party if:

(i)

an Event of Default has occurred in respect of that party under the Agreement; or

(ii)

that party fails (or fails to cause its Custodian) to make, when due, any transfer of Eligible Collateral, Posted Collateral, Distributions or Interest Amount, as applicable, required to be made by it and that failure continues for two Local Business Days after notice of that failure is given to that party; or

(iii)

that party fails to perform any Obligation other than those specified in Paragraph 7(ii) and that failure continues for 30 days after notice of that failure is given to that party.

Paragraph 8.  Rights of Enforcement
