(ix) Section 3.2(a) shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following: "All of the Conditions to Settlement shall be deemed to be satisfied by the occurrence of an Event Determination Date."
(x) Articles V, VI, VII, VIII and X, and Sections 9.3 through 9.10, shall not apply.
(xi) The Notes are credit linked solely for the purposes of the accrual of interest on the Notes, therefore any reference in the Credit Derivative Definitions to the Termination Date occurring as a consequence of the occurrence of an Event Determination Date shall be ignored for the purposes of the Notes and shall not cause the Maturity Date to occur as a consequence of such Event Determination Date, other than any reference required for the determination of the Deferred Maturity Date following the delivery of an Extension Notice.
3. Additional Definitions
In addition to the definitions in the Terms and Conditions and the CDS Definitions, the following terms shall have the following meanings in respect of the Notes. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms defined below and terms defined in the Terms and Conditions or the CDS Definitions, the terms defined below shall prevail.
"Deferred Maturity Date" means, if an Extension Notice is effective and no Event Determination Date occurs on or prior to the Notes Extension Date, the date falling five Business Days after the Notes Extension Date or, if an Extension Notice is effective and an Event Determination Date occurs on or prior to the Notes Extension Date, the Credit Event Redemption Date.
"Event Determination Date" means:
(a) The first date on which both the Credit Event Notice and, if "Notice of Publicly Available Information" is specified as a Condition to Settlement, the Notice of Publicly Available Information are delivered by the Issuer and are effective during either: (i) the Notice Delivery Period; or: (ii) the period (I) from, and including, the day on which ISDA publicly announces that the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved not to determine the matters described in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the "Credit Event Resolution Request Date" definition (II) to, and including, the date that is 14 calendar days thereafter, provided that a Credit Event Resolution Request Date occurred on or prior to the end of the last day of the Notice Delivery Period (including prior to the Trade Date), provided however that: (i) the Issuer shall not deliver a Credit Event Notice if, prior to the date of delivery, a DC No Credit Event Announcement has occurred; and (ii) if a DC Credit Event Announcement occurs, the Issuer may elect (by notice included in the Credit Event Notice) that the Event Determination Date be the Credit Event Resolution Request Date.
(b) No Event Determination Date will occur, and any Event Determination Date previously determined with respect to an event shall be deemed not to have occurred, if, or to the extent that, prior to the Auction Final Price Determination Date or the Maturity Date or Deferred Maturity Date, as applicable, a DC No Credit Event Announcement Date occurs with respect to the Reference Entity or Obligation thereof.
(c) If, in accordance with the provisions above, (i) following the determination of an Event Determination Date such Event Determination Date is deemed (A) to have occurred on a date that is different from the date that was originally determined to be the Event Determination Date or (B) not to have occurred or (ii) an Event Determination Date is deemed to have occurred prior to a preceding Interest Payment Date, the Determination Agent will determine (I) the adjustment payment, if any, that is payable to reflect any change that may be necessary to the amounts previously calculated and/or paid in respect of the Notes and (II) the date in which such adjustment payment is payable, if any. For the avoidance of doubt, no accruals of interest shall be taken into account when calculating any such adjustment payment.
"Extended Interest Period" means the period, if any, from and including the Scheduled Maturity Date to but excluding the Deferred Maturity Date.
"Extension Notice" means an irrevocable notice (which may be by telephone) from the Issuer to the Issue and Paying Agent which is effective on or prior to the Maturity Date that specifies that the Issuer determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that the Reference Entity is or may be subject to a Credit Event, Potential Failure to Pay or a Potential Repudiation/Moratorium."
"Notes Extension Date" means the later to occur of (a) the last applicable day specified in the definition of Notice Delivery Period in respect of the Reference Entity specified in an Extension Notice and (b) 14 calendar days after the day on which ISDA publicly announces that either (I) the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved the matters described in paragraphs (a) and (b) in the definition of "Credit Event Resolution Request Date" or (II) the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee has Resolved not to determine such matters, in either case relating to a Credit Event Resolution Request Date that occurred on or prior to the end of the last day of the Notice Delivery Period (including prior to the Trade Date).
"Credit Event Redemption Date" is deemed to be the date that is three Business Days after the Final Price Calculation Date in respect of the relevant Credit Event. For such purposes, the "Final Price Calculation Date" means either (i) the Auction Final Price Determination Date, or (ii) if the Determination Agent determines that, following the occurrence of a Credit Event and/or the determination by the relevant Credit Derivatives Determinations Committee not to determine whether or not an event constitutes a Credit Event, the date determined by the Determination Agent in its sole discretion.
