As mentioned at our trading meeting on Tuesday, we are putting together a
tailored ISDA schedule for our banking counterparties with which we propose
to trade credit transactions.

One issue we have revisited is whether the definition of Specified
Indebtedness (which ties into the cross default provisions) should be
expanded to cover derivatives transactions as well as the more conventional
bank borrowings.

We think there are arguments both ways on this, but wonder whether we have a
"house view". Since the definition is not expanded in our standard ISDA
schedule, we assume that our preferred position is to exclude derivatives
transactions from the cross default provisions of the ISDA.

Perhaps we can discuss this when you have a spare moment! Thanks

Kind regards.

Paul
