Noteholders) other than amounts specified in paragraphs (b) to (k)
above; and

Receipts remaining in the Seventh Issuer Bank Accounts, an amount

rate of interest payable on the relevant Seventh Issuer Currency
Swap Agreement due for repayment at the end of that Interest
Period to such Seventh Issuer Principal Receipts remaining in the
