share of the Total Commitment, the Company shall pay to those Syndicate Members sharing the Unallocated Portion of the Total Commitment
in accordance with the third paragraph of Clause 6.3 an amount equal to NOK 900,000,000 multiplied by a fraction, the nominator
of which is the Unallocated Portion and the denominator of which is the Total Commitment. Such commission shall be payable on 1

Appendix D

 

 

 

When calculating the Market Value of the securities portfolio, disregarding
any Repo Transaction, as of any Valuation Time Eksportfinans shall apply the methods set out below:

 

With respect to Market Value of securities portfolio; 

 

		A	Month-end Price Quote procedures

 

		(i)	A comprehensive report comprising the securities portfolio shall be prepared and copied to “excel”.

		(ii)	TASS shall be requested to give price quotes for all USD and EUR denominated floating rate securities.

		(iii)	DnB NOR shall be requested to give price quotes for all NOK denominated securities

		(iv)	Danske Bank shall be requested to give price quotes for all Danish originated NOK denominated securities.

		(v)	Lehman Brothers shall be requested to give price quotes for all the securities

		(vi)	For all transactions entered into the institutions we traded with shall be asked for price quotes.

		(vii)	In addition relevant price quotes listed on Bloomberg shall be downloaded

		(viii)	All information shall be electronically stored

 

In this Appendix D each of Bloomberg, TASS, DnBNOR and Lehman Brothers
shall be referred to as “the Providers”.

 

		B	Applied method for calculating Market Value of the securities

 

		(i)	Subject as provided below the Market Value shall be the median of collected quotes from the Providers.

 

Securities for which the price quotes have changed the
market values with > 1 mill. NOK and such change represents a difference >= 3% compared to preceding month shall be
subject to verification and mandatory comments

 

For all securities where the calculated median is equal
to that of the preceding months individual verification and comments shall be mandatory

 

		(ii)	All quotes shall be subject to the following mandatory procedure:

 

		-	If only two sources provide quotes and their quotes differ with
                                         more than 3 percentage points1, further
                                         verification shall be required in addition to a written qualification for the price selected.

 

		-	If only two sources provide quotes and one of them is Bloomberg and the difference in quotes is more than 3 percentage points
then all Bloomberg quotes, as of month end date, shall be run with ALLQ - function. If bid prices with coinciding trading hours
(ALLQ screen shows that quoted price is less than 3 days old at the time the ALLQ is run) appears from one or more sources then
the median from said source or sources shall be applied. If not the source other than Bloomberg shall be applied.

1
ie for example if the quoted price from one vendor is 99 and the other quote is 96 or below.

     

    	 

    

		-	If only one source is available for a security the quote shall be compared and analyzed with the quote for the preceding month.
For securities categorized as senior bank the specific security shall be compared with any other security from the same issuer
or if not available, other securities in the same currency and as analogous as possible. If the security in question has a substantially
different development than the peer group the quoting bank or institution shall be contacted and asked to qualify and confirm the
quote. If Bloomberg is the source and ALLQ does not show an updated bid price, then the price shall be calculated based on the
last price received and the development in Itraxx Financial Senior 5 year index shall be used to calculate the new price. For Asset
Backed Securities the price shall be calculated based on the last price received and the development in Lehman AAA ABS Euro float
index shall be used to calculate the new price.

 

		C	All information from price providers and spreadsheet with the prices shall be adequately electronically stored, and traced
to a documented price source.

 

 

With respect to market valuation of related Swap transactions:

 

		A	(i) All swap transactions shall be recorded in Eksportfinans’ trading system called ADAPTIV

 

			(ii) ADAPTIV calculates both sides of all of the swap transactions

 

			(iii) Accrued interest as well as yield shall be added to the market value of the security to which the swap transaction applies
