Introduction As part of their ongoing review EBCC members discussed, at the meeting held on 22nd May 2009, the advantages and disadvantages of amending the FSR provisions within section X of the UNC. The main aim of doing this being to provide further incentives for Users to manage their indebtedness prudently and effectively. Following further analysis a number of options were presented and it was agreed at the 23rd October 2009 EBCC meeting that, of the alternatives discussed, Option 1 would be most effective. Option 1 would see a third FSR within a 28 day measurement period trigger the reduction to the face value of security held by 20% and the retaining of any security in place for a minimum of 12 months (for the avoidance of doubt such reduction does not reduce the amount of security held). This document explains both the current and proposed Option 1 processes. In addition, the calculations to be utilised in the new method and accurate working examples are included. Page 2

Current Process
Current Cash Call & FSR Process The following steps are associated with the calculations on page 7 and time-line on page 8 Step 1 If a User’s indebtedness exceeds the Cash Call limit a Cash Call is issued Step 2 If a second Cash Call is issued within the proceeding 28 day measurement period a Further Security Request (FSR) is issued by 12pm the following business day 2a) FSR 1 Calculation: Current Indebtedness*100/85 – Current Security 2b) This additional amount of security must remain in place for 90 Calendar Days from date of receipt of funds. FSR 1 amount may be returned after this period provided that conditions of UNC Section x2.3.5 have been met Step 3 If a third Cash Call is issued within the 28 day measurement period and the indebtedness is at its highest level then a 2nd Further Security Request is issued by 12pm the following business day 3a) FSR 2 Calculation: Current Indebtedness*100/85 – Current Security 3b) This additional amount of security must remain in place for 90 Calendar Days from date of receipt of funds. FSR 2 amount may be returned after this period provided that conditions of UNC Section x2.3.5 have been met Page 5
Current Cash Call & FSR Process cont… Step 4 If a further Cash call is issued, again within the 28 day measurement period, and the indebtedness level for the period is peaked, then a 3rd Further Security Request is issued 4a) FSR 3 Calculation: Current Indebtedness*100/85 – Current Security 4b) This additional amount of security must remain in place for 90 Calendar Days from date of receipt of funds. FSR 3 amount may be returned after this period provided that conditions of UNC Section x2.3.5 have been met Step 5 If any Cash Call is produced but the peak level of indebtedness in the 28 day measurement period has not been exceeded, then no FSR is issued N.B. Users may use the Cash Call Appeal process. Page 6

STEP 1 - 1st Cash Call Issued for over 28 days. This is D1 of the measurement period. Payment Due (PD) D2 STEP 5 - 4th Cash Call in 28 day measurement period Issued. PD D13. Indebtedness NOT Peaked STEP 2 - 2nd Cash Call Issued in 28 day measurement period. PD D6 STEP 4 - 5th Cash Call in 28 day measurement period Issued.

Option 1 Process
Option 1 Cash Call & FSR Process Step 1 - Follow steps 1 – 3 of Current Process (See Page 4) Step 4 - If a further Cash call is issued, again within the 28 day measurement period, and has peaked the highest indebtedness level, then: 4a) the face value of security currently in place is reduced by 20%. 4b) FSR 3 Calculation: Indebtedness*100/85 – Current Security (at reduced level) 4c) The full face value of all Security held must now remain in place for at least 12 months from date of FSR issue. Any of which can only be returned providing that conditions of UNC Section x2.3.5 have been met. Step 5 - Any subsequent cash calls issued within the 28 day measurement period (REGARDLESS OF THE USER’S INDEBTEDNESS BEING AT IT’S HIGHEST LEVEL OR NOT) will result in the face value of security being reduced by a further 20%. An FSR will then be calculated, as per step 4b above, and issued. Step 6 – The full face value of any security now held must now remain in place for at least 12 months from date of issue of the latest FSR. If the same sequence of events were to transpire as in example 1, all occurrences until the 3rd FSR will be the same. However, Option 1 would increase the value of the Further Security Amount Request by reducing the face value of the Security Amount held by 20%. Following receipt of payment of FSR 3, the face value of security will remain in place for at least 12 months from FSR 3 Issue Date. Steps 1 – 4 are associated with Example 1 calculations on page 7 and time-line on page 8. Steps 4 onwards are associated with Example 2 on page 11 and time-line on page 12 Page 10

Proposed Process Outside of 28 Day Measurement Period These are the key steps following the end of the initial 28 day measurement period, in which there have been 3 FSRs, and within the 12 month re-basing of security period Step 7 - Any further Cash Call issued at any point after the 3rd FSR will result in the reduction to the face value of current security held by 20% and a further FSR being issued Step 8 - An FSR will be issued the day following the issue of the Cash Call, providing the cash call has not been appealed Step 9 - The full face value of security will remain in place for at least 12 months from the date of issue of the latest FSR Step 11 – For any subsequent Cash Calls issued, within the current 12 month measurement period, follow steps 7-10 REGARDLESS OF INDEBTEDNESS BEING AT IT’S HIGHEST LEVEL OR NOT If any 12 month measurement period finishes without further cash calls or FSRs being issued any security values may now be returned at the User’s request providing that conditions of UNC Section x2.3.5 have been met. If any Cash Calls are issued following the end of the 12 month measurement period the process will begin at step 1 as per page 4 Page 13
