Transaction; it being understood that information and
explanations related to the terms and conditions of a

Add a new Section 6(aa):
"(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. Party B may only designate an Early Termination Date
at the direction of the Global Trust Manager. Subject to its
duties under the Master Trust Deed and the Supplemental Deed,
Party B may exercise any rights in its capacity as holder of
the Assets of the Trust only on the instructions of the Global
Trust Manager and only after consultation between Party A,
Party B, the Global Trust Manager and the Note Trustee.
(ii) CONSULTATION REGARDING TIMING: Party A and Party B agree that
prior to designating an Early Termination Date they will
attempt to consult with the other as to the timing of the
Early Termination Date.
(iii) PARTY A'S LIMITED RIGHTS IN RELATION TO TAX EVENT:
Notwithstanding Part 5(22) of this Schedule, Party A may
designate an Early Termination Date if it is an Affected Party
following a Tax Event but only if the Note Trustee has
confirmed that it is satisfied that the Class A Noteholders
will be paid in full all principal and interest outstanding on
the Class A Notes.
(iv) ILLEGALITY: The parties agree that imposition by any
Governmental Agency of an Australian jurisdiction of any
exchange controls, restrictions or prohibitions will not
constitute an Illegality for the purposes of Section 5(b)(i)
or Section 5(c) and Party A will not be entitled to designate
an Early Termination Date.
(v) 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 will endeavour to procure the substitution as principal
obligor under this Agreement in respect of each Affected
Transaction of a replacement Party B incorporated in another
jurisdiction approved by Party A and the Note Trustee and in
respect of which the Current Rating Agencies confirm that the
substitution will not cause a reduction or withdrawal of the
rating of the Class A Notes.
(d) TRANSFERS TO AVOID TERMINATION: Section 6(b)(ii) is amended as
follows:
(i) The following sentence is added at the end of the second
paragraph:
"However, if Party A is that other party it must, if so
requested by the Global Trust Manager, use reasonable efforts
(which will not require Party A to incur a loss, excluding
immaterial, incidental expenses) to make such a transfer to an
Affiliate provided the Current Rating Agencies have given prior
written confirmation to the Global Trust Manager that such a
transfer will not result in an Adverse Rating Effect."
(ii) The third paragraph is deleted and replaced with the following:
"Any such transfer by a party under this Section 6(b)(ii) will
be subject to and conditional upon the prior written consent of
the other party, which consent will not be withheld:
(1) where the other party is Party A, if Party A's policies in
effect at such time would permit it to enter into
transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed; or
(2) where the other party is Party B, if the Current Rating
Agencies have confirmed in writing that such transfer will
not result in an Adverse Rating Effect.
(e) NOTICE OF EVENT OF DEFAULT: For the purposes of Section 6(a) and (b),
each of Party A and Party B may only provide a notice specifying an
Event of Default with respect to the other as the Defaulting Party and
may only designate an Early Termination Date following a Termination
Event where either Party A or Party B (or both) is the Affected Party
or the Burdened Party.
(6) REPLACEMENT CURRENCY SWAP AGREEMENT:
(a) If any Transaction under this Agreement which is a currency swap is
terminated prior to the day upon which the Class A Notes are redeemed
in full, Party B may, at the direction of the Global Trust Manager,
enter into one or more currency
swaps which replace that Transaction (collectively a "REPLACEMENT
CURRENCY SWAP") provided that:
(i) the Current Rating Agencies confirm in writing that the entry
into the Replacement Currency Swap by Party B does not result in
an Adverse Rating Effect; and
(ii) the liability of Party B under the Replacement Currency Swap is
limited to the satisfaction of Party B and, in any case, to at
least the same extent that its liability is limited under that
Transaction.
(b) If Party B enters into a Replacement Currency Swap pursuant to
paragraph (a) and the amount calculated to be payable under Section
6(e) ("TOTAL SETTLEMENT AMOUNT") is payable by Party B to Party A upon
termination of the Transaction referred to in Part 5(6)(a), Party B
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 Total Settlement Amount to Party A, and to the
extent such premium is not greater than or equal to the Total
Settlement Amount, the balance may be satisfied by Party B as an
Expense of the Trust.
(c) If Party B enters into a Replacement Currency Swap pursuant to
paragraph (a) and a Total Settlement Amount is payable by Party A to
Party B upon termination of the Transaction referred to in Part
5(6)(a), Party B may direct Party A to pay that amount to the
Replacement Currency Swap provider in satisfaction of or towards and
to the extent of Party B's obligation (if any) to pay an upfront
premium to the Replacement Currency Swap provider to enter into the
Replacement Currency Swap.
(d) The rights and obligations of Party A and Party B under this Part 5(6)
will survive the termination of this Agreement.
(7) Insert the following Sections 15 and 16 after Section 14:
"15 GUARANTEE BY SUPPORT PROVIDER
(a) In consideration of Party B entering into the Other Agreement (as
defined in Section 16(f)) and Transactions under the Other Agreement
with the Support Provider on the same material economic terms as
Transactions under this Agreement, the Support Provider
unconditionally guarantees to Party B the payment by Party A of moneys
which are payable by Party A under a Transaction (on terms set out in
this Agreement and in the Confirmation for that Transaction) ("PAYABLE
MONEYS") to Party B in the event that Party A defaults in the payment
of those Payable Moneys.
(b) If Party B has not been, or Party A reasonably expects that Party B is
not going to be, paid all or any part of the presently Payable Moneys
by Party A, then Party A or Party B may by notice to the Support
Provider demand payment of the Payable Moneys in respect of which
demand is being made. The Support Provider agrees to make payments of
the relevant Payable Moneys within 3 Business Days of such a demand.
The Support Provider's obligations to pay those Payable Moneys
which have not been paid by Party A are not conditional on the
Support Provider receiving such notice of demand.
(c) The Support Provider agrees that it will not, until all the present
and prospective Payable Moneys have been paid, exercise any rights of
subrogation which it may acquire due to its payment of Payable Moneys
under Section 15(a).
(d) All payments by the Support Provider shall be made in the currency in
which the Payable Moneys are denominated.
(e) Party B agrees that, without affecting its rights under Section 16, to
the extent that the Support Provider pays the Payable Moneys, and
thereby avoids or remedies a default by Party A, Party B shall not be
entitled to designate an Early Termination Date in respect of that
default by Party A, and such a payment by the Support Provider shall
be deemed to be an "actual payment" as referred to in line 6 of
Section 2(e) of this Agreement.
(f) The provisions of this Section 15 shall constitute irrevocable
obligations of the Support Provider until a notice of revocation is
served by the Support Provider on Party B, but such a notice cannot
and shall not be served without the prior written consent of Party A,
Party B and the Global Trust Manager in consultation with the Current
Rating Agencies.
16 SUPPORT PROVIDER TRANSACTIONS
(a) If a Credit Event has occurred in respect of Party A then the Support
Provider may give a Substitution Notice to Party B and to the Global
Trust Manager specifying a Transaction which shall be substituted
under this Section 16 (a "REPLACED TRANSACTION").
(b) If the Support Provider gives a Substitution Notice under Section
16(a), then either:
(i) a Substitute Transaction shall become effective; or
(ii) both:
(A) Party B, the Support Provider and the Global Trust Manager
must enter into an Equivalent Transaction with a
counterparty which has a Prescribed Joint Rating and which
is procured by the Support Provider and the Note Trustee
(the "NEW CURRENCY SWAP PROVIDER"); and
(B) an Equivalent-Other Transaction shall become effective. The
New Currency Swap Provider, Party B, the Support Provider
and the Global Trust Manager must execute a Confirmation
setting out the terms of the Equivalent-Other Transaction,
provided that in each case the Current Rating Agencies confirm that
the relevant actions will not cause a reduction or withdrawal of the
rating of the Class A Notes.
For the avoidance of doubt, if the Substitution Notice specifies that
either the Transaction under paragraph (b)(i) or the Transactions
under paragraphs (b)(ii)(A)
and (B) shall become effective as alternatives, and if a counterparty
with a Prescribed Joint Rating is not procured by the Support
Provider and the Note Trustee under paragraph (b)(ii)(A), the
Substitute Transaction must become effective in accordance with
paragraph (b)(i).
(c) On the date on which the Substitute Transaction or an Equivalent
Transaction and an Equivalent-Other Transaction become effective in
accordance with a Substitution Notice under either paragraph (b)(i) or
(b)(ii):
(i) the Replaced Transaction shall terminate; and
(ii) the Other Transaction shall terminate.
(d) Subject to (e), no Settlement Amount, Unpaid Amounts or other amount
under Section 6 or Section 11 shall be payable by, or to, Party B (as
the case may be) upon the termination of these transactions.
(e) The parties acknowledge that on the Effective Date of the Substitute
Transaction or the Equivalent Transaction, Party A shall pay to the
Support Provider (in the case of the Substitute Transaction) or to the
New Currency Swap Provider (in the case of the Equivalent Transaction)
the amount equal to the amount (if a positive number) that
hypothetically would have been payable by Party A to Party B under
Section 6(e)(i)(3) if:
(i) the Replaced Transaction had been terminated (and it was the
only Terminated Transaction);
(ii) Party A was the Defaulting Party;
(ii) an Early Termination Date had occurred on the Effective Date;
and
(iii) this Section 16 had not applied in respect of the Replaced
Transaction.
Any such amount shall be payable by Party A to, as the case may
be, either the Support Provider in accordance with the terms
agreed between them (in the case of the Substitute Transaction),
or the New Currency Swap Provider in accordance with the terms
agreed between Party A and the New Currency Swap Provider (in the
case of the Equivalent Transaction).
(f) DEFINITIONS. For the purposes of Section 16:
"CREDIT EVENT" means, in relation to Party A, the occurrence at any
time of any of the following events with respect to Party A:
(i) failure by Party A to make, when due, any payment under the
Replaced Transaction required to be made by it if such failure
is not remedied on or before the tenth Business Day after notice
of such failure is given to Party A;
(ii) the occurrence with respect to Party A (and not Party A's Credit
Support Provider) of an event specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(1)

(iii) the occurrence with respect to Party A (and not Party A's
Credit Support Provider) of an event specified in Section

below the Initial Price of such by more than the Price
Decline Requirement;
(B) the sum of the Market Value of a fixed rate Reference
Obligation and the Interest Rate Adjustment Amount of such

Decline Requirement; or
(C) Party A fails to transfer collateral in accordance with this
Agreement if such failure is not remedied on or before the
second local Business Day after notice of such failure is
given to Party A.
For the purposes of this paragraph (v), "Market Value",
"Reference Obligation", "Initial Price", "Price Decline
Requirement" and "Interest Rate Adjustment Amount" shall
have the meanings given in the Confirmation for the Replaced
Transaction; or
(vi) the occurrence of:
(A) a default, event of default or other similar condition or

Support Provider by Moody's or Fitch in accordance with Moody's
and Fitch's respective approaches to jointly supported
obligations is lower than the relevant Prescribed Joint Rating;
or
(B) there is no Support Provider providing any credit support
obligations and the credit rating assigned to Party A's senior
debt is lower than the relevant Prescribed Rating ,
and such downgrade would except for this clause adversely affect the
rating of the Class A Notes, then Party A must on request by the
Global Trust Manager lodge sufficient cash or other collateral (if
any) as may be necessary to maintain the credit rating of those Class
A Notes at the rating that was applicable to those Class A Notes
immediately prior to the downgrade.
This collateral must be lodged with an Eligible Bank and any interest
earned on it is payable to Party A. If Party A is an eligible entity
as at the date of lodgement, the collateral must be lodged with Party
A (in an account in the name of Party B) and remain with Party A for
so long as it continues to be an eligible entity.
If collateral is lodged under this paragraph the parties must execute
an amending agreement incorporating into this Agreement the 1995 ISDA
Credit Support Annex (Bilateral Form - Transfer), and until executed
the 1995 ISDA Credit Support Annex will be taken to supplement and
form part of this Agreement, and any collateral lodged under this
paragraph is subject to its terms, as if the Credit Support Annex were
incorporated into this Agreement (but without any Paragraph
11 other than as necessary to give effect to the obligations described

and the highest possible jointly supported credit rating that can
be assigned to senior debt jointly supported by Party A and the
Support Provider by S&P in accordance with S&P's approach to
jointly supported obligations is lower than the relevant
Prescribed Joint Rating; or
(B) there is no Support Provider providing any credit support
obligations and the credit rating assigned to Party A's senior
debt is lower than relevant the Prescribed Rating,
and such downgrade would except for this clause adversely affect the
rating of the Class A Notes, then Party A must on request by the
Global Trust Manager either (at the Global Trust Manager's option):
(C) lodge sufficient cash or other collateral (if any) as may be
necessary to maintain the credit rating of those Class A Notes at
the rating that was applicable to those Class A Notes immediately
prior to the downgrade.
This collateral must be lodged with an Eligible Bank and any
interest earned on it is payable to Party A. Party A will pay any
costs associated with lodgement of the collateral.
If collateral is lodged under this paragraph the parties must
execute an amending agreement incorporating into this Agreement
the 1995 ISDA Credit Support Annex (Bilateral Form - Transfer),
and until executed the 1995 ISDA Credit Support Annex will be
taken to supplement and form part of this Agreement, and any
collateral lodged under this paragraph is subject to its terms,
as if the Credit Support Annex were incorporated into this
Agreement (but without any Paragraph 11 other than as
necessary to give effect to the obligations described in this
Part 5(24)(ii)(A)) prior to the lodgement of any such collateral;
or
(D) arrange, at Party A's cost, for a standby guarantee of Party A's
obligations under this Agreement to be provided by a third party
acceptable to the Global Trust Manager and with a sufficient long
term credit rating by S&P as will, under S&P's "joint
probabilistic approach", maintain the credit rating of those
Class A Notes by S&P at the rating that was applicable to those
Class A Notes immediately prior to the downgrade.
(iii) For valuable consideration which is hereby acknowledged by the
Support Provider as having been received, the Support Provider hereby
unconditionally guarantees the obligations of Party A to lodge
collateral under this paragraph. The Support Provider will lodge any
such collateral on the terms agreed between it and Party B.

This Transaction shall be capable of being specified as a Replaced Transaction

further specified below.

Obligation.
"INITIAL SPREAD" means the Initial Spread specified in respect of the Reference
Obligation.
"INTEREST RATE ADJUSTMENT AMOUNT" means, with respect to the Reference
Obligation, the difference between (i) the Xxxx to Market Value and (ii) 100%
minus the Initial Price.
"XXXX TO MARKET RATE" means the Xxxx to Market Rate specified in respect of the
Reference Obligation.
"XXXX TO MARKET VALUE" means, in the determination of the Calculation Agent,
with respect to any Reference Obligation, on any day, the xxxx to market value
payable on that day (expressed as a percentage of the notional amount thereof)
of a hypothetical interest rate swap commencing on the Effective Date between a
hypothetical party ("PARTY X") and a counterparty with the highest long term
senior debt rating of each Rating Agency, which swap has a notional amount equal
to US$100,000,000 and under which Party X (i) receives the Xxxx to Market Rate
plus the Initial Spread and (ii) pays a fixed interest amount equal in amount
and timing to the coupons on the Reference Obligation (except a notional amount
of US$100,000,000 shall be applied). If, under such swap, Party X would be due
to pay such xxxx to market value, Xxxx to Market Value will be negative and, if
Party X would be due to receive such xxxx to market value, the Xxxx to Market
Value will be positive.
"MARKET VALUE" means, in accordance with the Quotation Method, the percentage
equal to the arithmetic mean of quotations (exclusive of accrued but unpaid
interest and expressed as a

Calculation Agent will request each dealer to provide firm bid and offer
quotations for an aggregate amount of the Reference Obligation equal to the
Quotation Amount to the extent reasonably practicable as of the Valuation
Time on such Valuation Date. If more than three quotations are provided on
such date, the Market Value shall be the arithmetic mean of such quotations
without regard to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If
exactly three quotations are provided, the Market Value shall be the
quotation remaining after disregarding the highest and lowest quotations. For
this purpose, if more than one quotation has the same highest value or lowest
value, then one of such quotations shall be disregarded. If exactly two
quotations are provided, the Market Value shall be the arithmetic mean of
such quotations. If fewer than two quotations are provided, then the Market
Value shall be an amount as determined by the Calculation Agent on the next
Business Day on which at least two quotations are provided by dealers. If the
Calculation Agent is unable to calculate the Market Value prior to the fifth
Business Day following the applicable Valuation Date, then the Calculation
Agent shall determine the Market Value for such Valuation Date in its
reasonable discretion.
"PRICE DECLINE REQUIREMENT" means the product of [1.5]% [and the modified
duration] of the Reference Obligation at the time of calculation.
"QUOTATION AMOUNT" means the Quotation Amount specified in respect of the
Reference Obligation.
"QUOTATION METHOD" means that only the arithmetic mean of the bid and offer
quotations provided by dealers that have provided both bid and offer quotations
shall be used in the calculation of Market Value.
"REFERENCE OBLIGATION" means the obligation(s) as follows:
Issuer/Borrower: [ ]
Maturity: [ ]
Coupon: [ ]
CUSIP/ISIN [ ]
Original Issue Amount [ ]
Initial Price: [ ]
Initial Spread: [ ]
