(1) |
"Specified Entity" is not applicable in relation to Party A and Party B. |
(2) |
"Specified Transaction" is not applicable. |
(3) |
(i) Sections 5(a)(ii), (iii), (iv), (v), (vi), 5(b)(ii), (iii) and (iv) will not apply to Party A or Party B. |
Notwithstanding the disapplication of Section 5(b)(ii) and 5(b)(iii), Sections 6(b)(ii) and 6(b)(iii) shall be construed as if those provisions had not been disapplied.
|
(ii) |
Replace Section 5(a)(i) with: |
|
"(i) |
Failure to Pay or Deliver. Failure by the party to make when due any payment under this Agreement or delivery under Section 2(a)(i) or 2(e) required to be made by it if such failure is not remedied at or before 10.00am on the tenth Local Business Day after the due date." |
(4) |
The "Bankruptcy" provisions of Section 5(a)(vii) are replaced by "An Insolvency Event under the Security Trust Deed has occurred in respect of Party A or Party B (the party the subject of the Insolvency Event will be the Defaulting Party); or ". In relation to Party A, the events described in the definition of Insolvency Event (under the Security Trust Deed) shall apply to it as if Party A was a relevant corporation referred to in that definition. The occurrence of an Insolvency Event under the Security Trust Deed in respect of Party B in its personal capacity will not constitute an Event of Default provided that within thirty Local Business Days of that occurrence, Party A, Party B and the Manager are able to procure the novation of this Agreement and all Transactions to a third party (who is notified to Party A) in respect of which the Designated Rating Agencies confirm that the novation will not cause a reduction or withdrawal of the ratings of the Class A-1 Notes, and Party A and Party B agree to execute such a novation agreement in standard ISDA form with each amendment thereto as are required by the parties. |
|
Page 1 |
(5) |
The "Automatic Early Termination" provisions of Section 6(a): |
will not apply to Party A.
will not apply to Party B.
(6) |
Payments on Early Termination. For the purpose of Section 6(e) of this Agreement: |
|
(i) |
Market Quotation will apply; and |
|
(ii) |
the Second Method will apply. |
(7) |
"Termination Currency" means USD. |
(8) |
Section 6(a) is amended by replacing "20 days" in line 3 with "10 Local Business Days". |
(9) |
Each of the following is an Additional Termination Event: |
(i) Ratings Downgrade. Party A fails to comply with the requirements of Section 17 (in which case Party A is the Affected Party).
(ii) Redemption for Taxation or Other Reasons. In the event that the Notes are redeemed in full at any time for tax or other reasons pursuant to Condition 5(j) (Redemption for Taxation or Other Reasons). In respect of such Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party.
(iii) Security Trust Deed. An Event of Default occurs under the Security Trust Deed and the Security Trustee has declared the Notes immediately due and payable. In respect of such Additional Termination Event, Party B shall be the sole Affected Party.
If any Early Termination Date is designated or occurs, "Market Quotation" in respect of the Terminated Transactions shall be determined based on a CPR rate with that rate determined by Party A as Calculation Agent based on the actual rate of prepayment from the Settlement Date or if prior to the first interest payment date then a CPR rate based on the amortisation schedule used in the prehedging, provided that the CPR rate determined by the Calculation Agent may not reflect such actual rate of prepayment if the Calculation Agent, acting in a commercially reasonable manner, so determines in light of the prevailing and expected economic conditions, but must reflect the expected rate of prepayment determined by the Calculation Agent acting in a commercially reasonable manner in light of the prevailing and expected economic conditions.
(10) |
Add a new Section 6(aa) after Section 6(a): |
|
"(aa) |
Restricted Termination Rights |
|
(i) |
Termination by Party B: Party B must not designate an Early Termination Date without the prior written consent of the Note Trustee. In the event that Party B were to designate an Early Termination Date and there would be a payment due to Party A, Party B may only designate such an Early Termination Date in respect of an Additional Termination Event under Section 17 (Rating Downgrade) if Party B has found a replacement counterparty willing to enter a new transaction on terms that reflect as closely as reasonably possible the economic, legal and credit terms of the Terminated Transactions with Party A or the Designated Rating Agencies otherwise confirm that the designation of the Early Termination Event would not lead to a downgrade or withdrawal of the rating of any Notes. |
|
Page 2 |
|
(ii) |
Transfer where Party B does not gross-up: If any payment by Party B to Party A under this Agreement is, or is likely to be, made subject to any deduction or withholding on account of Tax, Party B at the direction of the Manager will endeavour to procure the substitution as principal obligor under this Agreement in respect of each affected Transaction of a Party B incorporated in another jurisdiction approved by Party A and the Note Trustee and in respect of which the Designated Rating Agencies confirm that the substitution will not cause a reduction or withdrawal of the rating of any Notes." |
(11) |
In Section 6(b)(ii), add the words "or to any other person approved by Party A" after the word "Affiliates" in the second last line of the first paragraph and add the words "so long as the transfer in respect of that Transaction would not lead to a downgrade or withdrawal of the then current rating of any Notes" after the words "ceases to exist" at the end of the first paragraph. |
(12) |
Add the following sentence at the end of the last paragraph of Section 6(b)(ii): |
"However, consent may be withheld if the other party considers (acting reasonably) that its credit exposure to the transferor would be adversely affected by the transfer."
(13) |
Section 6(d)(ii) is amended by deleting the words "(in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated or occurs as a result of an Event of Default) and on the day which is two Local Business Days after the day on which notice of the amount payable is effective (in the case of an Early Termination Date which is designated as a result of a Termination Event)". |
(14) |
(i) |
Replace paragraph (a) of Section 7 with the following: |

(ii) the transfer referred to in sub-paragraph (i) may only be made where the transferee of all of Party A's interest or obligation in or under this Agreement has a short term credit rating of A-1+ from S&P, a long term credit rating of at least A2 from Xxxxx'x, a short term credit rating of P-1 from Xxxxx'x and a short term credit rating of F1 from Fitch Ratings and a long term credit rating of A from Fitch Ratings; and"
|
(ii) |
Add a new paragraph to Section 7, immediately below paragraph (b): |
|
"(c) |
in the event that a trustee is appointed as a successor to Party B under the Trust Deed and the Supplementary Terms Notice (the "Successor Trustee"), Party A undertakes that it shall (unless, at the time the Successor Trustee is so appointed, Party A is entitled to terminate the Transaction under Section 6, in which case it may) execute a novation agreement novating to the Successor Trustee the Transaction (provided that the policies of Party A in effect at such time would permit it to enter transactions with the Successor Trustee on the terms proposed) on the same terms or on other terms to be agreed between Party A, Party B and the Successor Trustee, and give written notice to each Designated Rating Agency of such novation." |

(1) |
Reduction of Payment Obligations. In the event that a payment made by Party B to Party A under a Transaction is less than the amount which Party B would be required to pay Party A, the Manager will provide notification to Party A of the amount of payment to be made by Party B (prior to making that payment) and the payment obligation of Party A to Party B shall be rateably reduced to the extent of the reduction in the amount paid by Party B to Party A.

(2) |
In Section 2(a)(i) add the following sentence: |
"Each payment will be by way of exchange for the corresponding payment or payments payable by the other party and, in the case of any payment payable by Party A to Party B, will be discharged by Party A depositing that payment by 4:00 pm New York time into the US$ Account."

|
"(v) |
Where: |
|
(1) |
payments are due pursuant to Section 2(a)(i) by Party A to Party B (the "Party A Payment") and by Party B to Party A (the "Party B Payment") on the same day; and |
|
(2) |
the Security Trust Deed has become, and remains at that time, enforceable, |
then Party A's obligation to make the Party A Payment to Party B shall be subject to the condition precedent (which shall be an "applicable condition precedent" for the purpose of Section 2(a)(iii)(3)) that Party A first receives notification from the Manager as to the amount of the Party B Payment and either:
|
(3) |
the Party B Payment; or |
|
(4) |

(B) | Limitation of Party B's Liability | ||
|
(1) |
Party B enters into this agreement only in its capacity as trustee of the Trust and in no other capacity (except where the Transaction Documents provide otherwise). Subject to paragraph (3) below, a liability arising under or in connection with this Agreement or the Trust can be enforced against Party B only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out of the assets and property of the Trust which are available to satisfy the right of Party B to be exonerated or indemnified for the liability. This limitation of Party B's liability applies despite any other provision of this Agreement and extends to all liabilities and obligations of Party B in any way connected with any representation, warranty, conduct, omission, agreement or transaction related to this Agreement or the Trust. |

|
(3) |
The provisions of this Section 15 shall not apply to any obligation or liability of Party B to the extent that it is not satisfied because under a Transaction Document or by operation of law there is a reduction in the extent of the Party B's indemnification or exoneration out of the Assets of the Trust as a result of Party B's fraud, negligence, or Default. |
|
(4) |
It is acknowledged that the Relevant Parties are responsible under the Transaction Documents for performing a variety of obligations relating to the Trust (other than Party A in its capacity as currency swap provider under this Agreement, in respect of which its obligations are limited to this Agreement). No act or omission of Party B (including any related failure to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement) will be considered fraud, negligence or Default of Party B for the purpose of subparagraph (3) above to the extent to which the act or omission was caused or contributed to by any failure by any Relevant Party or any person who has been delegated or appointed by Party B in accordance with this Agreement or any other Transaction Document to fulfil its obligations relating to the Trust or by any other act or omission of a Relevant Party or any such person. |
|
Page 14 |
(5) | In exercising their powers under the Transaction Documents, each of Party B, the Security Trustee and the Noteholders must ensure that no attorney, agent, delegate, receiver or receiver and manager appointed by it in accordance with this Agreement has authority to act on behalf of Party B in a way which exposes Party B to any personal liability and no act or omission of any such person will be considered fraud, negligence, or Default of Party B for the purpose of subparagraph (3) above. | |
|
(6) |
In this clause, Relevant Parties means each of the Manager, the Servicer, the Calculation Agent, each Paying Agent, the Note Trustee, and the provider of a Support Facility. |
|
(7) |
Nothing in this clause limits the obligations expressly imposed on Party B under the Transaction Documents. |

Nothing in paragraph (a) limits Party A in: |
|
(i) |
obtaining an injunction or other order to restrain any breach of this Agreement by Party B; |
|
(ii) |
obtaining declaratory relief; or |
|
(iii) |
in relation to its rights under the Security Trust Deed. |
|
(c) |
Except as provided in paragraphs (a) and (b), Party A shall not |
|
(i) |
(judgment) obtain a judgment for the payment of money or damages by Party B; |
|
(ii) |
(statutory demand) issue any demand under s459E(1) of the Corporations Xxx 0000 (Cth) (or any analogous provision under any other law) against Party B; |
|
(iii) |
(winding up) apply for the winding up or dissolution of Party B; |
|
(iv) |
(execution) levy or enforce any distress or other execution to, on, or against any assets of Party B; |
|
(v) |
(court appointed receiver) apply for the appointment by a court of a receiver to any of the assets of Party B; |

or take proceedings for any of the above and Party A waives its rights to make those applications and take those proceedings."
|
"16. | Replacement Currency Swap |
|
(a) |
If this Agreement or any Transaction under this Agreement is terminated prior to the day upon which the Class A-1 Notes are repaid in full, Party B must, subject to paragraph (b) and at the direction of the Manager, enter into one or more currency swaps which replace the Transactions under this Agreement (collectively a "Replacement Currency Swap") but only on the following conditions: |
|
(i) |
the amount payable (if any) by Party B to Party A upon termination of this Agreement or any Transaction (the "Termination Amount") will be paid in full when due in accordance with the Supplementary Terms Notice and this Agreement; |
|
Page 15 |
|
(ii) |
the Designated Ratings Agencies confirm that entry into the Replacement Currency Swap by Party B will not cause a Note Downgrade; and |
|
(iii) |
the liability of Party B under the Replacement Currency Swap is limited to at least the same extent that its liability is limited under this Agreement or the relevant Transaction under this Agreement. |
|
(b) |
If the conditions in Section 16(a) are satisfied, Party B must, at the direction of the Manager, enter into the Replacement Currency Swap and if it does so it must direct the Replacement Currency Swap Provider to pay any upfront premium to enter into the Replacement Currency Swap due to Party B directly to Party A in satisfaction of and to the extent of Party B's obligation to pay the Termination Amount to Party A as referred to in Section 16(a) and to the extent that such premium is not greater than or equal to the Termination Amount, the balance must be satisfied by Party B as a Trust Expense. |
|
(c) |
If the conditions in Section 16(a) are satisfied and Party B has entered into the Replacement Currency Swap, Party B must direct Party A to pay any Termination Amount payable by Party A to Party B on termination of this Agreement directly to the Replacement Currency Swap Provider as payment of any premium (to the extent of the Termination Amount) payable by Party B to enter into the Replacement Currency Swap. Such payment by Party A to the Replacement Currency Swap Provider shall be in full discharge of Party A's obligation to make any payment to Party B in respect of the termination of this Agreement and no further amounts shall be due from Party A in respect of such termination. If such premium is greater than the Termination Amount, the balance must be satisfied by Party B as a Trust Expense payable to the Replacement Currency Swap Provider in accordance with clause 5.1 of the Supplementary Terms Notice." |
(18) |
Novation |
Notwithstanding Section 7 as amended herein, Party A may at any time novate its obligations under this Agreement to any of its Affiliates (the "New Counterparty") provided that:
|
(a) |
the New Counterparty provides a legal opinion to Party B that this Agreement, as novated, is valid, binding and enforceable against it (subject to equitable doctrines and creditors' rights generally); and |
|
(b) |
the New Counterparty has the Required Rating. |
Party B and the Manager will execute all such documents (each in a form reasonably satisfactory to Party B) as are reasonably necessary to give effect to that novation."
(19) |
Appointment of Manager: Party A acknowledges that under the Trust Deed Party B has appointed the Manager as manager of the Trust with the powers set out in and upon and subject to the terms of, the Trust Deed. Accordingly, subject to the terms of the Trust Deed, the Manager: |
|
(i) |
may arrange, enter into, and monitor Transactions, execute Confirmations and exercise all other rights and powers of Party B under this Agreement; and |
|
(ii) |
without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Manager shall, issue and receive, on behalf of Party B all notices, Confirmations, certificates and other communications to or by Party A under this Agreement. |

If, at any time, a Downgrade occurs and the downgrade constitutes a Major Downgrade, Party A shall by the tenth day following a Major Downgrade (or such greater period as agreed by the relevant Designated Rating Agency) comply with Section 17(c)(i). Party A must continue to comply with Section 17(c)(i) until such time (no later than 30 days of the Major Downgrade occurring (or such greater period as agreed by the relevant Designated Rating Agency)) that it complies with Section 17(c)(ii), (iii) or (iv). |

|
(iii) |

Where Party B has not established a Swap Collateral Account and Party A is to transfer Eligible Credit Support to Party B, the Manager must direct Party B to, and Party B must, establish, as soon as practicable, and maintain, in the name of Party B an account (where the Eligible Credit Support is in the form of cash) and/or a custody account (where the Eligible Credit Support is in the form of securities) with an Approved Bank, which account(s) shall be, for the purposes of this Section 17, the "Swap Collateral Account". |
|
(e) |
Party B, at the direction of the Manager, may only dispose of any Eligible Credit Support acquired or transferred to it under Section 17(c)(i) or make withdrawals from the Swap Collateral Account: (i) in accordance with the terms of the Credit Support Annex attached to this Agreement; or (ii) otherwise if directed to do so by the Manager and in such latter case only for the purpose of: |

Exchange Controls |
Section 5(b)(i) (Illegality) is amended by adding the following paragraph at the end:-
"This sub-paragraph (i) does not apply to the imposition by the Australian government or any agency of the Australian government of any exchange control restrictions or prohibitions ("exchange controls")." For the avoidance of doubt:
|
(A) |
exchange controls do not constitute an Illegality or other Termination Event or an Event of Default under this Agreement, and do not entitle a party to terminate a Transaction or otherwise refuse to make any payments it is obliged to make under a Transaction: and |
|
(B) |
if and for so long as exchange controls are imposed, delivery by Party B of Australian dollar amounts required to be paid by it under any relevant Confirmation to the bank account in Australia notified in writing by Party A to Party B from time to time specified in that Confirmation will constitute proper payment of those amounts by Party B and Party A's obligations under this Agreement will be unaffected by any such exchange controls." |
(22) |
Party B's Payment Instructions. Party B irrevocably authorises and instructs Party A to make payment of: |
|
(i) |
the "Initial Exchange Amount" payable by Party A under a currency swap transaction by paying that amount direct to the account notified in writing by Party B to Party A for that purpose; and |
|
(ii) |
any other amount due from Party A to Party B under this Agreement by paying that amount direct to the Principal Paying Agent to the account outside Australia notified in writing by the Principal Paying Agent to Party A for that purpose. Party A is entitled to rely on any such notice. |
(23) |
No Amendment. Each of Party B and the Manager agrees that it will not consent to any amendment to any provision in any Transaction Document dealing with the ranking, priority or entitlement of Party A in respect of any security or moneys without the prior written consent of Party A (which will not be unreasonably withheld). |
(23) |
In Section 6(e), delete the sentence "The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early Termination Date and determined pursuant to this Section will be subject to any Set-off." At the end of the first paragraph. |
(24) |
Scope of Agreement. This Agreement shall only govern the Transaction entered into between the parties on the date hereof in respect of which the parties are required to make payments in the AUD and USD. |
