MASTER AGREEMENT
dated as of 22 July 1996
UBS AUSTRALIA LIMITED, PERPETUAL TRUSTEES AUSTRALIA LIMITED
ACN 003 059 461 ACN 000 000 000 in its capacity as
trustee of various Warehouse Funds and Sub-
Funds from time to time established under
the Trust Deed
have entered and/or anticipate entering into one or more transactions (each a
"TRANSACTION") that are or will be governed by this Master Agreement, which
includes the schedule (the "SCHEDULE"), and the documents and other confirming
evidence (each a "CONFIRMATION") exchanged between the parties confirming those
Transactions.
Accordingly, the parties agree as follows:-
1. INTERPRETATION
(a) DEFINITIONS. The terms defined in Section 14 and in the Schedule will have
the meanings therein specified for the purpose of this Master Agreement.
(b) INCONSISTENCY. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of
the Schedule and the other provisions of this Master Agreement, the
Schedule will prevail. In the event of any inconsistency between the
provisions of any Confirmation and this Master Agreement (including the
Schedule), such Confirmation will prevail for the purpose of the relevant
Transaction.
(c) SINGLE AGREEMENT. All Transactions are entered into in reliance on the fact
that this Master Agreement and all Confirmations form a single agreement
between the parties (collectively referred to as this "AGREEMENT"), and the
parties would not otherwise enter into any Transactions.
2. OBLIGATIONS
(a) GENERAL CONDITIONS
(i) Each party will make each payment or delivery specified in each
Confirmation to be made by it, subject to the other provisions of
this Agreement.
(ii) Payments under this Agreement will be made on the due date for value
on that date in the place of the account specified in the relevant
Confirmation or otherwise pursuant to this Agreement, in freely
transferable funds and in the manner customary for payments in the
required currency. Where settlement is by delivery (that is, other
than by payment), such delivery will be made for receipt on the due
date in the manner customary for the relevant obligation unless
otherwise specified in the relevant Confirmation or elsewhere in
this Agreement.
(iii) Each obligation of each party under Section 2(a)(i) is subject to
(1) the condition precedent that no Event of Default or Potential
Event of Default with respect to the other party has occurred and is
continuing, (2) the condition precedent that no Early Termination
Date in respect of the relevant Transaction has occurred or been
effectively designated and (3) each other applicable condition
precedent specified in this Agreement.
(b) CHANGE OF ACCOUNT. Either party may change its account for receiving a
payment or delivery by giving notice to the other party at least five Local
Business Days prior to the scheduled date for the payment or delivery to
which such change applies unless such other party gives timely notice of a
reasonable objection to such change.
(c) NETTING. If on any date amounts would otherwise be payable:-
(i) in the same currency; and
(ii) in respect of the same Transaction,
by each party to the other, then, on such date, each party's obligation to
make payment of any such amount will be automatically satisfied and
discharged and, if the aggregate amount that would otherwise have been
payable by one party exceeds the aggregate amount that would otherwise have
been payable by the other party, replaced by an obligation upon the party
by whom the larger aggregate amount would have been payable to pay to the
other party the excess of the larger aggregate amount over the smaller
aggregate amount.
The parties may elect in respect of two or more Transactions that a net
amount will be determined in respect of all amounts payable on the same
date in the same currency in respect of such Transactions, regardless of
whether such amounts are payable in respect of the same Transaction. The
election may be made in the Schedule or a Confirmation by specifying that
subparagraph (ii) above will not apply to the Transactions identified as
being subject to the election, together with the starting date (in which
case subparagraph (ii) above will not, or will cease to, apply to such
Transactions from such date). This election may be made separately for
different groups of Transactions and will apply separately to each pairing
of Offices through which the parties made and receive payments or
deliveries.
2
(d) DEDUCTION OR WITHHOLDING FOR TAX
(i) GROSS-UP. All payments under this Agreement will be made without any
deduction or withholding for or on account of any Tax unless such
deduction or withholding is required by any applicable law, as
modified by the practice of any relevant governmental revenue
authority, then in effect. If a party is so required to deduct or
withhold, then that party ("X") will:-
(1) promptly notify the other party ("Y") of such requirement;
(2) pay to the relevant authorities the full amount required to
be deducted or withheld (including the full amount required
to be deducted or withheld from any additional amount paid
by X to Y under this Section 2(d)) promptly upon the earlier
of determining that such deduction or withholding is
required or receiving notice that such amount has been
assessed against Y;
(3) promptly forward to Y an official receipt (or a certified
copy), or other documentation reasonably acceptable to Y,
evidencing such payment to such authorities; and
(4) if such Tax is an Indemnifiable Tax, pay to Y, in addition
to the payment to which Y is otherwise entitled under this
Agreement, such additional amount as is necessary to ensure
that the net amount actually received by Y (free and clear
of Indemnifiable Taxes, whether assessed against X or Y)
will equal the full amount Y would have received had no such
deduction or withholding been required. However, X will not
be required to pay any additional amount to Y to the extent
that it would not be required to be paid but for:
(A) the failure by Y to comply with or perform any
agreement contained in Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4
(d); or
(B) the failure of a representation made by Y pursuant to
Section 3(f) to be accurate and true unless such
failure would not have occurred but for (1) any action
taken by a taxing authority, or brought in a court of
competent jurisdiction, on or after the date on which a
Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such
action is taken or brought with respect to a party to
this Agreement) or (II) a Change in Tax Law.
(ii) LIABILITY. If:-
(1) X is required by any applicable law, as modified by the
practice of any relevant governmental revenue authority, to
make any deduction or withholding in respect of which X
would not be required to pay an additional amount to Y under
Section 2(d)(i)(4);
3
(2) X does not so deduct or withhold; and
(3) a liability resulting from such Tax is assessed directly
against X,
then, except to the extent Y has satisfied or then satisfies the
liability resulting from such Tax, Y will promptly pay to X the
amount of such liability (including any related liability for
interest, but including any related liability for penalties only if
Y has failed to comply with or perform any agreement contained in
Section 4(a)(i), 4(a)(iii) or 4(d).
(e) DEFAULT INTEREST, OTHER AMOUNTS. Prior to the occurrence or effective
designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the relevant
Transaction, a party that defaults in the performance of any payment
obligation will, to the extent permitted by laws and subject to Section
6(c), be required to pay interest (before as well as after judgment) on the
overdue amount to the other party on demand in the same currency as such
overdue amount, for the period from (and including) the original due date
for payment to (but excluding) the date of actual payment, at the Default
Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis of daily compounding
and the actual number of days elapsed. If, prior to the occurrence or
effective designation of an Early Termination Date in respect of the
relevant Transaction, a party defaults in the performance of any obligation
required to be settled by delivery, it will compensate the other party on
demand if and to the extent provided for in the relevant Confirmation or
elsewhere in this Agreement.
3. REPRESENTATIONS
Each party represents to the other party (which representations will be
deemed to be repeated by each party on each date on which a Transaction is
entered into and, in the case of the representations in Section 3(f), at

into, or transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another
entity and, at the time of such consolidation, amalgamation, merger
or transfer:-
(1) the resulting, surviving or transferee entity fails to
assume all the obligations of such party or such Credit
Support Provider under this Agreement or any Credit Support
Document to which it or its
9
predecessor was a party by operation of law or pursuant to
an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the other party to
this Agreement; or
(2) the benefits of any Credit Support Document fail to extend
(without the consent of the other party) to the performance
by such resulting, surviving or transferee entity of its
obligations under this Agreement.
(b) TERMINATION EVENTS. The occurrence at any time with respect to a party or,
if applicable, any Credit Support Provider of such party or any specified
Entity of such party of any event specified below constitutes an Illegality
if the event is specified in (i) below, a Tax Event if the event is
specified in (ii) below or a Tax Event Upon merger if the event is
specified in (iii) below, and, if specified to be applicable, a Credit
Event Upon Merger if the event is specified pursuant to (iv) below or an
Additional Termination Event if the event is specified pursuant to (v)
below:-
(i) ILLEGALITY. Due to the adoption of, or any change in, any applicable
law after the date on which a Transaction is entered into, or due to
the promulgation of, or any change in, the interpretation by any
court, tribunal or regulatory authority with competent jurisdiction
of any applicable law after such date, it becomes unlawful (other
than as a result of a breach by the party of Section 4(b)) for such
party (which will be the Affected Party):-
(1) to perform any absolute or contingent obligation to make a
payment or delivery or to receive a payment or delivery in
respect of such Transaction or to comply with any other
material provision of this Agreement relating to such
Transaction; or
(2) to perform, or for any Credit Support Provider of such party
to perform, any contingent or other obligation which the
party (or such Credit Support Provider) has under any Credit
Support Document relating to such Transaction;
(ii) TAX EVENT. Due to (x) any action taken by a taxing authority, or
brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, on or after the date
on which a Transaction is entered into (regardless of whether such
action is taken or brought with respect to a party to this
Agreement) or (y) a Change in Tax Law, the party (which will be the
Affected Party) will, or there is a substantial likelihood that it
will, on the next succeeding Scheduled Payment Date:
(1) be required to pay to the other party an additional amount
in respect of an Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4)
(except in respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii)
or 6(e)); or
(2) receive a payment from which an amount is required to be
deducted or withheld for or on account of a Tax (except in
respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6 (d)(ii) or 6(e))
and no additional amount is required to be paid in respect
of such Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (other than by reason
of Section 2(d)(i)(4)(A) or B));
10
(iii) TAX EVENT UPON MERGER. The party (the "BURDENED PARTY") on the next
succeeding Scheduled Payment Date will either:
(1) be required to pay an additional amount in respect of an
Indemnifiable Tax under Section 2(d)(i)(4) (except in
respect of interest under Section 2(e), 6(d)(ii) or 6(e));
or
(2) receive a payment from which an amount has been deducted or
withheld for or on account of any Indemnifiable Tax in
respect of which the other party is not required to pay an
additional amount (other than by reason of Section
2(d)(i)(4)(A) or B)), in either case as a result of a party
consolidating or amalgamating with, or merging with or into,
or transferring all or substantially all its assets to,
another entity (which will be the Affected Party) where such
action does not constitute an event described in Section
5(a)(viii);
(iv) CREDIT EVENT UPON MERGER. If "Credit Event Upon Merger" is specified
in the Schedule as applying to the party, such party ("X"), any
Credit Support Provider of X or any applicable Specified Entity of X
consolidates or amalgamates with, or merges with or into, or
transfers all or substantially all its assets to, another entity and
such action does not constitute an event described in Section
5(a)(viii) but the creditworthiness of the resulting, surviving or
transferee entity is materially weaker than that of X, such Credit
Support Provider or such Specified Entity, as the case may be,
immediately prior to such action (and, in such event, X or its
successor or transferee, as appropriate, will be the Affected
Party); or
(v) ADDITIONAL TERMINATION EVENT. If any "Additional Termination Event"
is specified in the Schedule or any Confirmation as applying, the
occurrence of such event (and, in such event) the Affected Party or
Affected Parties shall be as specified for such Additional
Termination Event in the Schedule or such Confirmation).
(c) EVENT OF DEFAULT AND ILLEGALITY. If an event or circumstance which would
otherwise constitute or give rise to an Event of Default also constitutes
an Illegality, it will be treated as an Illegality and will not constitute
an Event of Default.
6. EARLY TERMINATION
(a) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING EVENT OF DEFAULT. If at any time an Event of
Default with respect to a party (the "DEFAULTING PARTY") has occurred and
is then continuing, the other party (the "NON-DEFAULTING PARTY") may, by
not more than 20 days notice to the Defaulting Party specifying the
relevant Event of Default, designate a day not earlier than the day such
notice is effective as an Early Termination Date in respect of all
outstanding Transactions. If, however, "Automatic Early Termination" is
specified in the Schedule as applying to a party, then an Early Termination
Date in respect of all outstanding Transactions will occur immediately upon
the occurrence with respect to such party of an Event of Default specified
in Section 5(a)(vii)(1), (3),
11
(5), (6) or, to the extent analogous thereto, (8), and as of the time
immediately preceding the institution of the relevant proceeding or the
presentation of the relevant petition upon the occurrence with respect to
such party of an Event of Default specified in Section 5(a)(vii)(4) or, to
the extent analogous thereto, (8).
(b) RIGHT TO TERMINATE FOLLOWING TERMINATION EVENT.
(i) NOTICE. If a Termination Event occurs, an Affected Party will,
promptly upon becoming aware of it, notify the other party,
specifying the nature of that Termination Event and each Affected
Transaction and will also give such other information about that
Termination Event as the other party may reasonably require.
(ii) TRANSFER TO AVOID TERMINATION EVENT. If either an illegality under
Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a Tax Event occurs and there is only one
Affected Party, or if a Tax Event Upon Merger occurs and the
Burdened Party is the Affected Party, the Affected Party will, as a
condition to its right to designate an Early Termination Date under
Section 6(b)(iv), use all reasonable efforts (which will not require
such party to incur a loss, excluding immaterial, incidental
expenses) to transfer within 20 days after it gives notice under
Section 6(b)(i) all its rights and obligations under this Agreement
in respect of the Affected Transactions to another of its Offices or
Affiliates so that such Termination Event ceases to exist.
If the Affected Party is not able to make such a transfer it will
give notice to the other party to that effect within such 20 day
period, whereupon the other party may effect such a transfer within
30 days after the notice is given under Section 6(b)(i).
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 if such other
party's policies in effect at such time would permit it to enter
into transactions with the transferee on the terms proposed.
(iii) TWO AFFECTED PARTIES. If an illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(1) or a
Tax Event occurs and there are two Affected Parties, each party will
use all reasonable efforts to reach agreement within 30 days after
notice thereof is given under Section 6(b)(i) on action to avoid
that Termination Event.
(iv) RIGHT TO TERMINATE. If:-
(1) a transfer under Section 6(b)(ii) or an agreement under
Section 6(b)(iii), as the case may be, has not been effected
with respect to all Affected Transactions within 30 days
after an Affected Party gives notice under Section 6(b)(i);
or
12
(2) an Illegality under Section 5(b)(i)(2), a Credit Event Upon
Merger or an Additional Termination Event occurs, or a Tax
Event Upon Merger occurs and the Burdened Party is not the
Affected Party,
either party in the case of an Illegality, the Burdened Party in the
case of a Tax Event Upon Merger, any Affected Party in the case of a
Tax Event or an Additional Termination Event if there is more than
one Affected Party, or the party which is not the Affected Party in
the case of a Credit Event Upon Merger or an Additional Termination
Event if there is only one Affected Party may, by not more than 20
days notice to the other party and provided that the relevant
Termination Event is then continuing, designate a day not earlier
than the day such notice is effective as an Early Termination Date
in respect of all Affected Transactions.
(c) EFFECT OF DESIGNATION
(i) If notice designating an Early Termination Date is given under
Section 6(a) or (b), the Early Termination Date will occur on the
date so designated, whether or not the relevant Event of Default or
Termination Event is then continuing.
(ii) Upon the occurrence or effective designation of an Early Termination
Date, no further payments or deliveries under Section 2(a)(i) or
2(e) in respect of the Terminated Transactions will be required to
be made, but without prejudice to the other provisions of this
Agreement. The amount, if any, payable in respect of an Early
Termination Date shall be determined pursuant to Section 6(e).
(d) CALCULATIONS
(i) STATEMENT. On or as soon as reasonably practicable following the
occurrence of an Early Termination Date, each party will make the
calculations on its part, if any, contemplated by Section 6(e) and
will provide to the other party a statement:
(1) showing, in reasonable detail, such calculations (including
all relevant quotations and specifying any amount payable
under Section 6(e)); and
(2) giving details of the relevant account to which any amount
payable to it is to be paid. In the absence of written
confirmation from the source of a quotation obtained in
determining a Market Quotation, the records of the party
obtaining such quotation will be conclusive evidence of the
existence and accuracy of such quotation.
(ii) PAYMENT DATE. An amount calculated as being due in respect of any
Early Termination Date under Section 6(e) will be payable on the day
that notice of the amount payable is effective (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). Such amount will be paid
13
together with (to the extent permitted under applicable law)
interest thereon (before as well as after judgment) in the
Termination Currency, from (and including) the relevant Early
Termination Date to (but excluding) the date such amount is paid, at
the Applicable Rate. Such interest will be calculated on the basis
of daily compounding and the actual number of days elapsed.
(e) PAYMENTS ON EARLY TERMINATION. If an Early Termination Date occurs, the
following provisions shall apply based on the parties' election in the
Schedule of a payment measure, either "Market Quotation" or "Loss" , and a
payment method, either the "First Method" or the "Second Method". If the
parties fail to designate a payment measure or payment method in the
Schedule, it will be deemed that "Market Quotation" or the "Second Method",
as the case may be, shall apply. 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.
(i) EVENTS OF DEFAULT. If the Early Termination Date results from an
Event of Default:-
(1) FIRST METHOD AND MARKET QUOTATION. If the First Method and
Market Quotation apply, the Defaulting Party will pay to the
Non-defaulting Party the excess, if a positive number, of:
(A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the
Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated
Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party
over
(B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid
Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party.
(2) FIRST METHOD AND LOSS. If the First Method and Loss apply,
the Defaulting Party will pay to the Non-defaulting Party,
if a positive number, the Non-defaulting Party's loss in
respect of this Agreement.
(3) SECOND METHOD AND MARKET QUOTATION. If the Second Method and
Market Quotation apply, an amount will be payable equal to:
(A) the sum of the Settlement Amount (determined by the
Non-defaulting Party) in respect of the Terminated
Transactions and the Termination Currency Equivalent of
the Unpaid Amounts owing to the Non-defaulting Party
less
(B) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid
Amounts owing to the Defaulting Party. If that amount
is a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it
to the Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative
number, the Non-defaulting Party will pay the absolute
value of that amount to the Defaulting Party.
14
(4) SECOND METHOD AND LOSS. If the Second Method and Loss apply,
an amount will be payable equal to the Non-defaulting
Party's Loss in respect of this Agreement. If that amount is
a positive number, the Defaulting Party will pay it to the
Non-defaulting Party; if it is a negative number, the Non
defaulting Party will pay the absolute value of that amount
to the Defaulting Party.
(ii) TERMINATION EVENTS. If the Early Termination Date results from a
Termination Event:-
(1) ONE AFFECTED PARTY. If there is one Affected Party, the
amount payable will be determined in accordance with Section
6(e)(i)(3), if Market Quotation applies, or Section
6(e)(i)(4), if Loss applies, except that, in either case,
references to the Defaulting Party and to the Non-defaulting
Party will be deemed to be references to the Affected Party
and the party which is not the Affected Party, respectively,
and, if Loss applies and fewer than all the Transactions are
being terminated, Loss shall be calculated in respect of all
Terminated Transactions.
(2) TWO AFFECTED PARTIES. If there are two Affected Parties:-
(A) If Market Quotation applies, each party will determine
a Settlement Amount in respect of the Terminated
Transactions, and an amount will be payable equal to:
(I) the sum of (a) one-half of the difference between
the Settlement Amount of the party with the higher
Settlement Amount ("X") and the Settlement Amount
of the party with the lower Settlement Amount
("Y") and (b) the Termination Currency Equivalent
of the Unpaid Amounts owing to X less
(II) the Termination Currency Equivalent of the Unpaid
Amounts owing to Y; and
(B) If Loss applies, each party will determine its Loss in
respect of this Agreement (or, if fewer than all the
Transactions are being terminated, in respect of all
Terminated Transactions) and an amount will be payable
equal to one-half of the difference between the Loss of
the party with the higher Loss ("X") and the loss of
the party with the lower Loss ("Y")
If the amount payable is a positive number, Y will pay it to
X; if it is a negative number, X will pay the absolute value
of that amount to Y.
(iii) ADJUSTMENT FOR BANKRUPTCY. In circumstances where an Early
Termination Date occurs because "Automatic Early Termination"
applies in respect of a party, the amount determined under this
Section 6(e) will be subject to such adjustments as are appropriate
and permitted by law to reflect any payments or
15
deliveries made by one party to the other under this Agreement (and
retained by such other party) during the period from the relevant
Early Termination Date to the date for payment determined under
Section 6(d)(ii).
(iv) PRE-ESTIMATE. The parties agree that if Market Quotation applies an
amount recoverable under this Section 6(e) is a reasonable
pre-estimate of loss and not a penalty. Such amount is payable for
the loss of bargain and the loss of protection against future risks
and except as otherwise provided in this Agreement neither party
will be entitled to recover any additional damages as a consequence
of such losses.
7. TRANSFER
Subject to Section 6(b)(ii), neither this Agreement nor any interest or
obligation in or under this Agreement may be transferred (whether by way of
security or otherwise) by either party without the prior written consent of
the other party, except that:-
(a) a party may make such a transfer of this Agreement pursuant to a
consolidation or amalgamation with, or merger with or into, or transfer of
all or substantially all its assets to, another entity (but without
prejudice to any other right or remedy under this Agreement);
(b) and a party may make such a transfer of all or any part of its interest in
any amount payable to it from a Defaulting Party under Section 6(e).
Any purported transfer that is not in compliance with this Section will be void.
8. CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY
(a) PAYMENT IN THE CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY. Each payment under this Agreement will
be made in the relevant currency specified in this Agreement for that
payment (the "CONTRACTUAL CURRENCY"). To the extent permitted by applicable
law, any obligation to make payments under this Agreement in the
Contractual Currency will not be discharged or satisfied by any tender in
any currency other than the Contractual Currency, except to the extent such
tender results in the actual receipt by the party to which payment is owed,
acting in a reasonable manner and in good faith in converting the currency
so tendered into the Contractual Currency, of the full amount in the
Contractual Currency of all amounts payable in respect of this Agreement.
If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received falls
short of the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
Agreement, the party required to make the pavement will, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, immediately pay such additional amount in the
Contractual Currency as may be necessary to compensate for the shortfall.
If for any reason the amount in the Contractual Currency so received
exceeds the amount in the Contractual Currency payable in respect of this
Agreement, the party receiving the payment will refund promptly the amount
of such excess.
16
(b) JUDGMENTS. To the extent permitted by applicable law, if any judgment or
order expressed in a currency other than the Contractual Currency is
rendered:
(i) for the payment of any amount owing in respect of this Agreement;
(ii) for the payment of any amount relating to any early termination in
respect of this Agreement; or
(iii) in respect of a judgment or order of another court for the payment
of any amount described in (i) or (ii) above, the party seeking
recovery, after recovery in full of the aggregate amount to which
such party is entitled pursuant to the judgment or order, will be
entitled to receive immediately from the other party the amount of
any shortfall of the Contractual Currency received by such party as
a consequence of sums paid in such other currency and will refund
promptly to the other party any excess of the Contractual Currency
received by such party as a consequence of sums paid in such other
currency if such shortfall or such excess arises or results from any
variation between the rate of exchange at which the Contractual
Currency is converted into the currency of the judgment or order for
the purposes of such judgment or order and the rate of exchange at
which such party is able, acting in a reasonable manner and in good
faith in converting the currency received into the Contractual
Currency, to purchase the Contractual Currency with the amount of
the currency of the judgment or order actually received by such
party. The term "rate of exchange" includes, without limitation, any
premiums and costs of exchange payable in connection with the
purchase of or conversion into the Contractual Currency.
(c) SEPARATE INDEMNITIES. To the extent permitted by applicable law, these
indemnities constitute separate and independent obligations from the other
obligations in this Agreement, will be enforceable as separate and
independent causes of action, will apply notwithstanding any indulgence
granted by the party to which any payment is owed and will not be affected
by judgment being obtained or claim or proof being made for any other sums
payable in respect of this Agreement.
(d) EVIDENCE OF LOSS. For the purpose of this Section 8, it will be sufficient
for a party to demonstrate that it would have suffered a loss had an actual
exchange or purchase been made.
9. MISCELLANEOUS
(a) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement and
understanding of the parties with respect to its subject matter and
supersedes all oral communication and prior writings with respect thereto.
(b) AMENDMENTS. No amendment, modification or waiver in respect of this
Agreement will be effective unless in writing (including a writing
evidenced by a facsimile transmission) and executed by each of the parties
or confirmed by an exchange of telexes or electronic messages on an
electronic messaging system.
17
(c) SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. Without prejudice to Sections 2(a)(iii) and
6(c)(ii), the obligations of the parties under this Agreement will survive
the termination of any Transaction.
(d) REMEDIES CUMULATIVE. Except as provided in this Agreement, the rights,
powers, remedies and privileges provided in this Agreement are cumulative
and are not exclusive of any rights, powers, remedies and privileges
provided by law.
(e) COUNTERPARTS AND CONFIRMATIONS.
(i) This Agreement (and each amendment, modification and waiver in
respect of it) may be executed and delivered in counterparts
(including by facsimile transmission), each of which will be deemed
an original.
(ii) The parties intend that they are legally bound by the terms of each
Transaction from the moment they agree to those terms (whether
orally or otherwise). A Confirmation shall be entered into as soon
as practicable and may be executed and delivered in counterparts
(including by facsimile transmission) or be created by an exchange
of telexes or by an exchange of electronic messages on an electronic
messaging system, which in each case will be sufficient for all
purposes to evidence a binding supplement to this Agreement. The
parties will specify therein or through another effective means that
any such counterpart, telex or electronic message constitutes a
Confirmation.
(f) NO WAIVER OF RIGHTS. A failure or delay in exercising any right, power or
privilege in respect of this Agreement will not be presumed to operate as a
waiver, and a single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege
will not be presumed to preclude any subsequent or further exercise, of
that right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or
privilege.
(g) HEADINGS. The headings used in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only and are not to affect the construction of or to be taken
into consideration in interpreting this Agreement.
10. OFFICES; MULTIBRANCH PARTIES
(a) If Section 10(a) is specified in the Schedule as applying, each party that
enters into a Transaction through an Office other than its head or home
office represents to the other party that, notwithstanding the place of
booking office or jurisdiction of incorporation or organisation of such
party, the obligations of such party are the same as if it had entered into
the Transaction through its head or home office. This representation will
be deemed to be repeated by such party on each date on which a Transaction
is entered into.
(b) Neither party may change the Office through which it makes and receives
payments or deliveries for the purpose of a Transaction without the prior
written consent of the other party.
18
(c) If a party is specified as a Multibranch Party in the Schedule, such
Multibranch Party may make and receive payments or deliveries under any
Transaction through any Office listed in the Schedule, and the Office
through which it makes and receives payments or deliveries with respect to
a Transaction will be specified in the relevant Confirmation.
11. EXPENSES
A Defaulting Party will, on demand, indemnify and hold harmless the other
party from and against all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, including
legal fees and Stamp Tax, incurred by such other party by reason of the
enforcement and protection of its rights under this Agreement or any Credit
Support Document to which the Defaulting Party is a party or by reason of
the early termination of any Transaction, including, but not limited to,
costs of collection.
12. NOTICES

notify the other party and within 30 days appoint a substitute process
agent acceptable to the other party. The parties irrevocably consent to
service of process given in the manner provided for notices in Section 12.

Equivalent of an amount that party reasonably determines in good faith to
be its total losses and costs (or gain, in which case expressed as a
negative number) in connection with this Agreement or that Terminated
Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions, as the case may be,
including any loss of bargain, cost of funding or, at the election of such
party but without duplication, loss or cost incurred as a result of its
terminating, liquidating, obtaining or re-establishing any hedge or related
trading position (or any gain resulting from any of them). Loss includes
losses and costs (or gains) in respect of any payment or delivery required
to have been made (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition
precedent) on or before the relevant Early Termination Date and not made,

quotations of relevant rates or prices from one or more leading dealers in
the relevant markets.
"MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more Terminated
Transactions and a party making the determination, an amount determined on
the basis of quotations from Reference Market-makers. Each quotation will
be for an amount, if any, that would be paid to such party (expressed as a
negative number) or by such party (expressed as a positive number) in
consideration of an agreement between such party (taking into account any
existing Credit Support Document with respect to the obligations of such
party) and the quoting Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction
(the "Replacement Transaction") that would have the effect of preserving
for such party the economic equivalent of any payment or delivery (whether
the underlying obligation was absolute or contingent and assuming the
satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) by the parties under
Section 2(a)(i) in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group of
Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant
Early Termination Date, have been required after that date. For this
purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the Terminated Transaction or group
of Terminated Transactions are to be excluded but, without limitation, any
payment or delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination
Date, have
23
been required (assuming satisfaction of each applicable condition
precedent) after that Early Termination Date is to be included. The
Replacement Transaction would be subject to such documentation as such
party and the Reference Market-maker may, in good faith, agree. The party
making the determination (or its agent) will request each Reference
Market-maker to provide its quotation to the extent as reasonably
practicable after the relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as
of which those quotations are to be obtained will be selected in good faith
by the party obliged to make a determination under Section 6(e), and, if
each party is so obliged, after consultation with the other. If more than
three quotations are provided, the Market Quotation will be the arithmetic
mean of the quotations, without regard to the quotations having the highest
and lowest values. If exactly three quotations are provided, the Market
Quotation will 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 fewer than three quotations are provided, it will be deemed
that the Market Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or
group of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined.
"NON-DEFAULT RATE" means a rate per annum equal to the cost (without proof
or evidence of any actual costs) to the Non-defaulting Party (as certified
by it) if it were to fund the relevant amount.

as would be customary for the determination of such a rate for the purchase
of such Other Currency for value on the relevant Early Termination Date or

Termination Date; and
(b) in respect of each Terminated Transaction, for each obligation under
Section 2(a)(i) which was (or would have been but for Section
2(a)(iii)) required to be settled by delivery to such party on or
prior to such Early Termination Date and which has not been so
settled as at such Early Termination Date, an amount equal to the

and whether by way of security or otherwise), charged
or the subject of any trust or other fiduciary
obligation (other than, in respect of Party B, the

in or under this Agreement (including any
Transaction) including, but not limited to,

Schedule), no".

(a) with respect to a Termination Event that is a Tax
Event where Party A is the Affected Party, all
Transactions affected by the occurrence of such
Termination Event; and
(b) with respect to any other Termination Event, all
Transactions."
(iii) delete the following words from the definition of "Default
Rate":
"plus 1% per annum".
(iv) the definition of "MARKET QUOTATION" is replaced with:
""MARKET QUOTATION" means, with respect to one or more
Terminated Transactions and a party making the determination,
an amount determined on the basis of quotations from Reference
Market-makers. Each quotation will take into account any
existing Credit Support Document with respect to the
obligations of such party.
Each quotation will be determined as either:
(1) the amount, if any, that would be paid to such party
(expressed as a negative number) or by such party
(expressed as a positive number) in consideration of
an agreement between such party and the quoting
Reference Market-maker to enter into a transaction
(the "REPLACEMENT TRANSACTION") that would have the
effect of preserving for such party the economic
equivalent of the Future Obligations of both parties;
or
(2) the present value (calculated using commercially
reasonable discount rates) of the difference or the
differences on each Scheduled Payment Date that would
have occurred after the Early Termination Date
between:
10
(a) the Future Obligations of the other party to
the Terminated Transaction or Terminated
Transactions; and
(b) the obligations that a quoting Reference
Market-maker would have under a transaction
("REPLACEMENT TRANSACTION") that would
preserve for the party making the
determination that party's Future
Obligations, with such present value being
positive if (a) is greater than (b) and
negative if (a) is less than (b).
The Replacement Transaction would be subject to such
documentation as such party and the Reference Market-maker
may, in good faith, agree. The party making the determination
(or its agent) will request each Reference Market-maker to
provide its quotation to the extent reasonably practicable as
of the same day and time (without regard to different time
zones) on or as soon as reasonably practicable after the
relevant Early Termination Date. The day and time as of which
the quotation or quotations are to be obtained will be
selected in good faith by the party obliged to make a
determination under Section 6(e), and, if each party is so
obliged, after consultation with the other.
If more than 3 quotations are provided, the Market Quotation
will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations, without regard
to the quotations having the highest and lowest values. If
exactly 3 such quotations are provided, the Market Quotation
will 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 fewer than 3
quotations are provided, it will be deemed that the Market
Quotation in respect of such Terminated Transaction or group
of Terminated Transactions cannot be determined."
(v) insert the following new definitions:
""FUTURE OBLIGATIONS" means all payment or delivery
obligations (whether the underlying obligation was absolute or
contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable
condition precedent) of a party under section 2(a)(i) in
respect of a Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated
Transactions, that would, but for the occurrence of the
relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that
date. (For this purpose, Unpaid Amounts in respect of the
Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions are
to be excluded but, without limitation, any payment or
delivery that would, but for the relevant Early Termination
Date, have been required (assuming satisfaction of each
applicable condition precedent) after that Early Termination
Date is to be included).
"MANAGER" means the "Manager" from time to time under the

"UBS GUARANTEE" means the Guarantee numbered 301 - 48812 dated

references in this Agreement to a "Confirmation"

14:

and be applied subject to this Section 15.

rights real or personal of any nature
whatsoever; and
"OBLIGATIONS" means all obligations and
liabilities of whatsoever kind undertaken or
incurred by or devolving upon Party B under

it enters Transactions hereunder and, accordingly,
except for Party B's liability resulting from Party
B's own fraud, negligence or wilful default in
performing its obligations under this Agreement or
its own breach of the Trust Deed, the recourse of
Party A hereto against Party B in respect of any
Obligation is limited severally to Party A's right to
recover under the Security Trust Deed relating to the
Warehouse Fund or Sub-Fund in respect of which that
Obligation was undertaken or incurred.
(d) Without limiting the generality of Section 15(c), the
provisions of this Agreement shall have effect
severally in respect of each Warehouse Fund and each
Sub-Fund and shall be enforceable by or against Party
B in its capacity as trustee of each such Warehouse
Fund or Sub-Fund as though a separate Agreement
applied between Party A and Party B for each of Party
B's said several capacities, to the intent that
(inter alia):
(i) unless the context indicates a contrary
intention, each reference to "Party B" in
this Agreement shall be construed as a
several reference to Party B in its
respective capacities as trustee of each
Warehouse Fund and each Sub-Fund;
(ii) this Agreement together with each
Confirmation relating to a particular
Warehouse Fund or Sub-Fund will form a
single
12

the respective obligations (including
references to payment obligations generally
and in the context of provisions for the
netting of payments and the calculation of
amounts due on early termination) of Party A
and Party B shall be construed accordingly
as a several reference to each mutual set of
obligations arising under each such separate
agreement between Party A and Party B in its
several capacities as trustee of each
Warehouse Fund and each Sub-Fund;
(iii) representations made and agreements entered
by the parties under this Agreement are made
and entered severally by Party B in its
respective capacities as trustee of each
Warehouse Fund and each Sub-Fund and may be
enforced by Party B against Party A
severally in Party B's said several
capacities;
(iv) rights of termination, and obligations and
entitlements consequent upon termination,
only accrue to Party A against Party B
severally in Party B's respective capacities
as trustee of each Warehouse Fund and each
Sub-Fund, and only accrue to Party B against

capacities; and
(v) without limiting Section 15(d)(iv), the
occurrence of an Event of Default or
Termination Event in respect of one
Warehouse Fund or one Sub-Fund shall not in
itself constitute an Event of Default or
Termination Event in respect of any other
Warehouse Fund or Sub-Fund."

all notices, Confirmations, certificates and other
communications to or by Party A hereunder,
until such time as Party B serves written notice on Party A of the
revocation of the Manager's authority to act on behalf of Party B in
accordance with this paragraph (d).
(d) PROCEDURES FOR ENTERING INTO TRANSACTIONS:
(i) CONFIRMATION OF TRANSACTIONS. With respect to each Transaction
entered into pursuant to this Agreement and for the purposes
of Section 9(e)(ii), Party A will, on or promptly after the
relevant Trade Date, send Party B a Confirmation confirming
that Transaction and Party B (either itself or through the
Manager) must promptly then confirm the accuracy of or request
the correction of such Confirmation.
(ii) SPECIFICATION OF SUB-FUND. Party B will enter into each
Transaction in its capacity as trustee of a specific Warehouse
Fund or Sub-Fund. Each Confirmation regarding a Transaction
must specify the name of the Warehouse Fund or Sub-Fund to
which the Transaction relates.
(e) MASTER NOVATION ANNEX. From time to time Party A and Party B may agree
to novate one or more Transactions from a Selling Fund to a Sub-Fund.
Each such novation will be governed by the Master Novation Annex
annexed to this Agreement unless otherwise agreed by Party A and Party
B.
(f) ACCELERATED PAYMENTS CLAUSE: Where Party B is the Fixed Rate Payer
under a Transaction, Party B may reduce the Fixed Rate applicable to
that Transaction in accordance with the following procedure:
(i) At any time Party B may serve a notice on Party A in writing
requesting a reduction in the Fixed Rate and specifying:
(a) the Transaction in respect of which the reduction is
sought;
(b) the amount which Party B proposes to pay to Party A
in consideration of the reduction (the "ACCELERATED
AMOUNT");
(c) the Payment Date from which the reduced Fixed Rate
shall be effective (the "RELEVANT PAYMENT DATE"); and
(d) a day, being a Business Day no earlier than 1 clear
Business Day after the day on which service of the
notice is effective, on which payment of the
Accelerated Amount will be made and the reduction
will become binding (the "VARIATION DATE").
(ii) Upon such a notice being served, the parties must negotiate in
good faith to agree not later than the Business Day
immediately preceding the nominated Variation Date, a reduced
Fixed Rate which would apply from the Relevant Payment Date in
consideration of payment of the Accelerated Amount.
(iii) If agreement is reached in accordance with paragraph (f)(ii),
then:
14
(a) on the Variation Date, Party B shall pay Party A the
Accelerated Amount; and
(b) with effect from the Variation Date the Transaction
(including the Confirmation in respect thereof) shall
be varied so that, with effect from the Relevant
Payment Date (and in respect of each Payment Date
thereafter), the Fixed Rate shall be the rate agreed
pursuant to paragraph (f)(ii).
(iv) If agreement is not reached in accordance with paragraph
(f)(ii), then, at the option of Party B:
(a) Party B will not pay Party A the Accelerated Amount
and the Fixed Rate will not be altered; or
(b) Party B may, notwithstanding the failure to reach an
agreement pursuant to paragraph (f)(ii), pay the
Accelerated Amount to Party A on the Variation Date
and the reduced Fixed Rate to apply from the Relevant
Payment Date shall be determined by Party B (or by
the Manager on its behalf) in accordance with
paragraph (f)(v) below.
(v) If paragraph (f)(iv)(b) applies, the reduced Fixed Rate shall
be the then applicable Fixed Rate for the Transaction reduced
by such amount as, when applied from the Relevant Payment Date
through to the Maturity Date for the Transaction, results in
reductions of each of the remaining Fixed Amounts payable by
Party B under the Transaction, which reductions have an
aggregate discounted present value as at the Variation Date
equal to the amount of the Accelerated Payment. The rate to be
applied in determining each of the discounted present values
required for that calculation shall be, for each relevant
maturity, the average of the rates quoted to Party B (or the
Manager on its behalf) by 3 leading dealers in the Australian
interest rate swap market as the fixed rate each such dealer
would be prepared to pay in an equivalent swap for that
maturity minus 20 basis points or, in the event that it is not
possible to obtain such quotes, the rate to be applied shall
be the rate reasonably determined by the parties having regard
to comparable indices then available.
(vi) Neither the Floating Rate nor the Notional Amount is to vary
as a result of the operation of this clause.
(vii) Party B shall not be entitled to require any reduction of the
Fixed Rate by application of this paragraph (f) that would
result in the Fixed Rate being negative.
(viii) Upon a Transaction being varied in accordance with this
paragraph (f), that Transaction so varied shall be reconfirmed
by the parties in accordance with Part 5.2(d)(i) of this
Schedule as though it were a new Transaction.
(g) FURTHER ASSURANCES: Each party shall, upon request by the other party
(the "REQUESTING PARTY") at the expense of the requesting party,
perform all such acts and execute all such agreements, assurances and
other documents and instruments as the requesting party reasonably
requires to assure and confirm the rights and powers afforded, created
or intended to be afforded or created, under or in relation to this
Agreement and each Transaction or other dealing which occurs under or
is contemplated by it.
(h) INTEREST RATE CAPS, COLLARS AND FLOORS: For purposes of the
determination of a Market Quotation for a Terminated Transaction in
respect of which a party ("X") had, immediately prior to the
designation or occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, no
future payment obligations, whether absolute or contingent, under
Section 2(a)(i) of this Agreement with respect of the Terminated
Transaction, (i) the quotations obtained from Reference Market makers
shall be such as to preserve the economic equivalent of the payment
obligations of the
15
party ("Y") that had, immediately prior to the designation or
occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, future payment
obligations, whether absolute or contingent, under Section 2(a)(i) of
this Agreement with respect to the Terminated Transaction and (ii) if X
is making the determination such amounts shall be expressed as positive
amounts and if Y is making the determination such amounts shall be
expressed as negative amounts.
(i) OPTIONS: For the purposes of the determination of a Market Quotation
for a Terminated Transaction that is identified as an Option, the
quotations obtained from Reference Market-makers shall take into
account, as of the relevant Early Termination Date, the economic
equivalent of the right or rights granted pursuant to that Option which
are or may become exercisable.
(j) FORWARD RATE AGREEMENTS: The September 1992 Australian Addendum No. 6 -
A$ Forward Rate Agreements in the form of the copy attached to this
Agreement is deemed to be incorporated in this Agreement.
(k) RECORDED CONVERSATIONS: Each party:
(i) consents to the recording of the telephone conversations of
trading and marketing personnel of that party and its
Affiliates in connection with this Agreement or any potential
Transaction; and
(ii) agrees to obtain any necessary consent of, and give notice of
such recording to, such personnel of it and its Affiliates.
