Specified Countries are defined as Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland or the United Kingdom.

(Note: The Multiple Exchange Index Annex is intended to override the need to use Exhibit H in the User’s Guide to the 2002 ISDA Equity Derivatives Definitions (EuroStoxx Confirmation Definitions).

By incorporating the ISDA Standard Terms Appendix for use with European Variance Option Transactions, published January 27, 2009, into a Transaction Supplement under a Revised 2007 European Variance Swap Master Confirmation Agreement, the parties agree to amend such MCA to add the provisions of Annex IVO (Index Variance Option) and Annex SVO (Share Variance Option).

The Dispersion Variance Swap General Terms Confirmation/Annex DVS (“DVS General Terms Confirmation”), published December 2, 2008, is designed to document variance swap transactions composed of an Index Variance Swap Transaction and a Share Variance Swap Transaction composed of several Share Variance Swap Transactions. The DVS General Terms Confirmation is to be used with the Revised 2007 European Variance Swap Master Confirmation Agreement.

Parties are free to utilize this form of amendment language to bilaterally amend their European MCAs.
