Substitution
(a)
A Transaction may at any time between the Purchase Date and Repurchase Date, if Seller so requests
and Buyer so agrees. be varied by the transfer by Buyer to Seller of Securities equivalent to the
Purchased Securities, or to such of the Purchased Securities as shall be agreed, in exchange for the
transfer by Seller to Buyer of other Securities of such amount and description as shall be agreed ("New
Purchased Securities") (being Securities having a Market Value at the date of the variation at least
equal to the Market Value of the Equivalent Securities transferred to Seller).
(b)
Any variation under subparagraph (a) above shall be effected, subject to paragraph 6(d). by the
simultaneous transfer of the Equivalent Securities and New Purchased Securities concerned.
(c)
A Transaction which is varied under subparagraph (a) above shall thereafter continue in effect as
though the Purchased Securities under that 'transaction consisted of or included the New Purchased
Securities instead of the Securities in respect of which Equivalent Securities have been transferred to
Seller.
Where either party has transferred Margin Securities to the other party it may at any time before
Equivalent Margin Securities are transferred to it under paragraph 4 request the other party to transfer
Equivalent Margin Securities to it in exchange for the transfer to the other party of new Margin
Securities having a Market Value at the time of transfer at least equal to that of such Equivalent Margin
Securities. if the other party agrees to the request, the exchange shall be effected, subject to paragraph
6(d), by the simultaneous transfer of the Equivalent Margin Securities and new Margin Securities
concerned. Where either or both of such transfers is or are effected through a settlement system in
circumstances which under the rules and procedures of that settlement system give rise to a payment by
or for the account of one party to or for the account of the other party, the parties shall cause such
payment or payments to be made outside that settlement system, for value the same day as the
payments made through that settlement system. as shall ensure that the exchange of Equivalent Margin
Securities and new Margin Securities effected under this subparagraph does not give rise to any net
payment of cash by either party to the other.
