It is not relying on any communication (written or oral) of any other party as investment advice or as a recommendation to enter into that Transaction; it being understood that information and explanations related to the terms and conditions of a Transaction will not be considered investment advice or a recommendation to enter into that Transaction. No communication (written or oral) received from any other party will be deemed to be an assurance or guarantee as to the expected results of that Transaction.

26


  (vi) No breach. To the best of its knowledge, it is not in breach of any material provisions of the Master Trust Deed or the Transaction Documents of the Series Trust.

“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:

(7) No Set-Off: Section 6(e) is amended by deleting the last sentence of the first paragraph.

  (i) have the effect of preserving for Party B the economic equivalent of all payment and delivery obligations (whether absolute or contingent and assuming the satisfaction of each applicable condition precedent) under this Agreement immediately before such transfer; and

 

  (ii) are, in all material respects, no less beneficial for Party B than the terms of this Agreement immediately before such transfer, as determined by Party B (acting on the direction of the Manager).

In determining whether or not a transfer satisfies the conditions in paragraph (d)(ii), Party B (acting on the direction of the Manager) shall act in a commercially reasonable manner.

If an entity has made a Firm Offer (which remains capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance) to be the transferee of a transfer to be made in accordance with paragraph (d), Party B shall, at Party A’s written request and cost, take any reasonable steps required to be taken by it to effect such transfer;

 

29


  (e) subject to giving prior written notification to Party B, if an Initial Fitch Rating Event, a Subsequent Fitch Rating Event or a Second Subsequent Fitch Rating Event has occurred, Party A may (at its own cost) transfer all or substantially all its rights and obligations with respect to this Agreement to any other entity that is a Fitch Eligible Replacement.”.

  (d)

(Acts or omissions): It is acknowledged that the Relevant Parties are responsible under the Transaction Documents for performing a variety of obligations relating to the Series Trust.

37


  Agreement) will be considered fraudulent, negligent or a wilful default of Party B for the purpose of paragraph (c) of this Section 15 to the extent to which the act or omission was caused or contributed to by any failure by any such Relevant Party or any other person appointed by Party B under such a Transaction Document (other than a person whose acts or omissions Party B is liable for in accordance with any such Transaction Document) to fulfil its obligations relating to the Series Trust or by any other act or omission of such Relevant Party or any other such person.

 

  (e) (No Authority): No attorney, agent, receiver or receiver and manager appointed in accordance with the Transaction Documents 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 wilful default of the Party B for the purposes of Section 15(c).

 

  (f) (No obligation): Party B is not obliged to enter into any further commitment or obligation under this Agreement or any Transaction Document (including incur further liability) unless Party B’s liability is limited in a manner which is consistent with this Section 15 or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to Party B in its absolute discretion.”

  condition precedent) by the parties under this Agreement in respect of such Terminated Transactions or group of Terminated Transactions that would, but for the occurrence of the relevant Early Termination Date, have been required after that Early Termination Date;

 

  (C) made on the basis that 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; and

 

  (D) made in respect of a Replacement Transaction with terms that are, in all material respects, no less beneficial for Party B than those of this Agreement (save for the exclusion of provisions relating to Transactions that are not Terminated Transactions), as determined by Party B (at the direction of the Manager).”

 

  (ii) In determining whether or not a Firm Offer satisfies the condition in sub-paragraph (D) of Market Quotation, the Manager (in directing Party B) and Party B (acting at the direction of the Manager) shall act in a commercially reasonable manner.

 

  (iii) The definition of “Settlement Amount” shall be replaced with the following:

““Settlement Amount” means, with respect to any Early Termination Date:

 

  (A) if, on or prior to such Early Termination Date, a Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions is accepted by Party B (at the direction of the Manager) so as to become legally binding, the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether positive or negative) of such Market Quotation;

 

  (B) if, on such Early Termination Date, the Manager has not directed Party B to accept a Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions so as to become legally binding and one or more Market Quotations have been communicated to the Manager and Party B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by Party B, the Termination Currency Equivalent of the amount (whether positive or negative) of the lowest of such Market Quotations, and for the avoidance of doubt:

 

  (i) a Market Quotation expressed as a negative number is lower than a Market Quotation expressed as a positive number; and

 

  (ii) the lower of two Market Quotations expressed as negative numbers is the one with the largest absolute value; or

 

44


  (C) if, on such Early Termination Date, the Manager has not directed Party B to accept a Market Quotation for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions so as to become legally binding and no Market Quotations have been communicated to the Manager and Party B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by Party B, Party B’s Loss (whether positive or negative and without reference to any Unpaid Amounts) for the relevant Terminated Transaction or group of Terminated Transactions.”

 

  (iv) At any time on or before the Early Termination Date at which two or more Market Quotations have been communicated to Party B and remain capable of becoming legally binding upon acceptance by Party B, Party B shall be entitled (at the direction of the Manager) to accept only the lowest of such Market Quotations, and for the avoidance of doubt:

 

  (A) a Market Quotation expressed as a negative number is lower than a Market Quotation expressed as a positive number; and

 

  (B) the lower of two Market Quotations expressed as negative numbers is the one with the largest absolute value.

 

  (v) If the Manager requests Party A in writing to obtain Market Quotations, Party A shall use reasonable efforts to do so before the Early Termination Date.

 

  (e) (Moody’s Additional Termination Events): During any Moody’s Ratings Period, the following will constitute Additional Termination Events:

 

  (i) (Moody’s First Trigger Required Rating): for so long as Moody’s is a Rating Agency in relation to the Series Trust:

 

  (A) Party A has failed to post collateral in accordance with the Moody’s Credit Support Annex in compliance with Section 17(a)(ii) above;

 

  (B) such failure is not remedied on or before the fifth Local Business Day (for daily posting) or on or before the ninth Local Business Day (for weekly posting) after notice of such failure is given by Party B or the Manager to Party A; and

 

  (C) at the time of such failure:

 

  (1) the credit rating of Party A or any Credit Support Provider of Party A was less than the Moody’s First Trigger Required Ratings for a continuous period of 30 Local Business Days or more; and

45


  (3) Party A has not procured an Eligible Guarantee by a guarantor with credit ratings higher than or equal to Moody’s First Trigger Required Ratings or a transfer in accordance with Section 17(a)(iii)(A) above;

 

  (ii) (Moody’s Second Trigger Required Rating): for so long as Moody’s is a Rating Agency in relation to the Series Trust:

 

  (A) Party A has failed to post collateral in accordance with the Moody’s Credit Support Annex in compliance with Section 17(b)(ii) above;

 

  (B) such failure is not remedied on or before the fifth Local Business Day (for daily posting) or on or before the ninth Local Business Day (for weekly posting) after notice of such failure is given by Party B or the Manager to Party A; and

For the purposes of each of the Additional Termination Events in paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, Party A is the sole Affected Party in relation to each of these Additional Termination Events and all Transactions are Affected Transactions.

 

  (f) (Events of Default): Notwithstanding Section 5(a)(i), any failure by Party A to comply with or perform any obligation to be complied with or performed by Party A under the Moody’s Credit Support Annex shall not be an Event of Default unless:

 

  (i) the Second Rating Trigger Requirements apply and at least 30 Local Business Days have elapsed since the last time the Second Rating Trigger Requirements did not apply; and

 

  (ii) such failure is not remedied on or before the third Local Business Day after notice of such failure is given to Party A.”.

(22) Provisions common to a downgrade by a Rating Agency: Insert a new Section 18 of this Agreement immediately after Section 17 as follows:

 

  18 Common downgrade provisions

 

  (a) (Establishment and maintenance of Collateral Account): Where Party B has not established the Collateral Account for the Series Trust and Party A elects or is required to deliver collateral to Party B in accordance with the Credit Support Annex, the Manager must direct Party B to establish, as soon as is practicable, and maintain, in the name of Party B, an interest bearing account with an Eligible Bank which must be an account separate from the Collections Account for the Series Trust (“Collateral Account”). If Party B becomes aware that the Collateral Account for the Series Trust is held with an entity which is not an Eligible Bank, Party B must promptly establish a new interest bearing account with an Eligible Bank and transfer the balance of the former Collateral Account for the Series Trust to the new Collateral Account for the Series Trust within 30 days.

 

  (b) (Collateral transferred into Collateral Account): Any cash collateral delivered by Party A to Party B in accordance with the Credit Support Annex in compliance with its obligations under Section 16 or Section 17 and any cash proceeds (from disposal or otherwise) from any securities delivered by Party A to Party B in accordance with the Credit Support Annex in compliance with its obligations under Section 16 or Section 17 (such cash, “Cash Collateral”) must be deposited into the Collateral Account and such Cash Collateral will not be subject to or applied according to the Series Supplement in respect of the Series Trust. No money must be paid into the Collateral Account other than Cash Collateral and interest payable on the money credited to the Collateral Account.

 

  (c) (Application of Collateral): Party B may only make withdrawals from any Collateral Account if directed to do so by the Manager and then only for the purpose of:

 

  (i) delivering to Party A Return Amounts, Interest Amounts or Equivalent Distributions in accordance with a Credit Support Annex;

 

  (ii) withdrawing any amount which has been incorrectly deposited into the Collateral Account (and the Manager agrees to direct Party B to refund or pay to Party A, and Party B agrees promptly to refund or pay to Party A, any such incorrectly deposited amount);

 

  (iii) paying bank accounts debit tax or any other similar Tax payable in respect of the Cash Collateral; or

 

  (iv) paying any amount due to be paid by Party A under this Agreement if Party A has not paid such amount when required (after taking into account any applicable grace period).

Any amount withdrawn from the Collateral Account and applied in accordance with Section 18(c)(iii) or Section 18(c)(iv) above will (despite any inconsistency with the Credit Support Annex) be taken to reduce (by an amount equal to that amount withdrawn and applied) the Credit Support Balance under the Credit Support Annex. Any such reduction shall be allocated pro-rata between the Credit Support Balance under each of the Fitch Credit Support Annex and the Moody’s Credit Support Annex (as applicable).

 

  (d) (Novation): If Party A arranges for the novation of all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement:

 

  (i) to a Fitch Eligible Replacement pursuant to Section 16(a)(iii)(A) or Section 16(b)(ii)(A) above; or

 

47


  (ii) to a Moody’s Eligible Replacement pursuant to Section 17(a)(iii)(A) or Section 17(b)(iii)(A) above,

Party B (at the direction of the Manager) and the Manager will do all things necessary, at the cost of Party A, to effect such novation.

 

  (e) Multiple Credit Support Annexes

 

  (i) The parties agree that each Credit Support Annex:

 

  (A) forms part of this Schedule, the Master Agreement and this Agreement; and

 

  (B) constitutes a separate Transaction under this Agreement.

 

  (ii) Accordingly, separate calculations, payments and deliveries are to be made in respect of each Credit Support Annex. However, in order to avoid possible duplication of obligations to deliver credit support, the parties agree that any Delivery Amount or any Return Amount in respect of a Valuation Date calculated under a Credit Support Annex will take into account the following:

 

  (A) the Value of the Transferor’s Credit Support Balance is to include the Value of Other Eligible Credit Support as of that Valuation Date provided that the maximum Return Amount which may be calculated under that Credit Support Annex on that Valuation Date is equal to the Value as of that Valuation Date of the Transferor’s Credit Support Balance (without including the Value of any Other Eligible Credit Support); and

 

  (B) the Value of the Transferor’s Credit Support Balance is to be adjusted to include any Delivery Amount and to deduct any Return Amount:

 

  (1) which has been calculated under any other Credit Support Annex or which is to be calculated under any other Credit Support Annex on such Valuation Date; and

 

  (2) the transfer of which, in either case, has not yet been completed and for which the relevant Settlement Day falls on or after such Valuation Date,

but only to the extent of the Value (if any) which would be calculated under that Credit Support Annex for the Eligible Credit Support or Equivalent Credit Support constituting that Delivery Amount or Return Amount.

 

  (iii) Party A will not be required to transfer more Eligible Credit Support than the greatest amount calculated in accordance each Credit Support Annex.

 

  (iv) The parties acknowledge that payments due on the same date under different Credit Support Annexes are to be netted (the transactions represented by the Credit Support Annexes being of the “same type” for the purposes of Part 4(i)).

 

48


  (v) Other Eligible Credit Support” means, in respect of a Credit Support Annex, any credit support which would satisfy the description of Eligible Credit Support under that Credit Support Annex and which is comprised in the Credit Support Balance under any other Credit Support Annex.

 

  (vi) The “Value of any Other Eligible Credit Support in respect of a Credit Support Annex will be calculated in accordance with the provisions of that Credit Support Annex (subject to paragraph (vii) below), and not the Credit Support Annex under which the Other Credit Support has been provided.

 

  (vii) The parties agree that if a date is a Valuation Date under more than one Credit Support Annex then the calculations of Delivery Amounts and Return Amounts under each such Credit Support Annex are to be made consecutively with Party A selecting under which Credit Support Annex the calculations are to be made first (so that the calculations under the second Credit Support Annex will take into account the result of the calculations made under the first Credit Support Annex). However, the calculations of Delivery Amounts and Return Amounts under a Credit Support Annex having a zero Credit Support Amount must be made before calculations under any other Credit Support Annex.”.

 

(23) Amendment to this Agreement:

 

  (a) The Manager must give 5 Business Days notice in writing to each Rating Agency of any amendments to this Agreement.

 

  (b) This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement between all parties to this Agreement, provided that the Manager and Party B may only agree to such amendment in accordance with the provisions of clause 25 of the Master Trust Deed and for this purpose references in that clause to a Series Supplement will be taken to be references to this Agreement.

 

(24) Appointment of Manager: Party B hereby exclusively appoints the Manager as its attorney to act on Party B’s behalf and exercise all rights and powers of Party B with respect to this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Manager may issue and receive on behalf of Party B all notices, certificates and other communications to or by Party A under this Agreement 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 Part 5(25). The Manager hereby accepts such appointment. Party A is not obliged to enquire into the authority of the Manager to exercise or satisfy any of Party B’s rights or obligations on Party B’s behalf.

 

(25) Hedge Agreement and Prepayment: The parties acknowledge and agree for the purposes of:

 

  (a) the Transaction Documents, this Agreement is a Currency Swap Agreement and a Support Facility and Party A is a Currency Swap Provider for the purposes of the Security Trust Deed and the General Security Deed; and

 

  (b) the Master Trust Deed, this Agreement is a Hedge Agreement.

 

(26) 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 relating to the Series Trust without the prior written consent of Party A.

 

49


(27) Manager as Party: For the purposes of Sections 2, 5, 6 and 10 the Manager is not a “party”.

 

(28) Anti-money laundering: Each party (the “Information Provider”) agrees to provide any information and documents reasonably required by any other party (the “Information Recipient”) to comply with any applicable anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws including, without limitation, any applicable laws imposing “know your customer” or other identification checks or procedures that the Information Recipient is required to comply with in respect of this Agreement (“AML/CTF Laws”), but the foregoing obligation applies only to the extent that such information and such documents are in the possession of the Information Provider or may be obtained by it after having undertaken reasonable steps and subject to any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations owed by the Information Provider to any person in relation to whom the information or documents requested relate (except, in all cases, to the extent that the foregoing may be overridden by the relevant AML/CTF Laws). Each party must comply with any AML/CTF Laws applicable to it, to the extent required to comply with its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Any party may decline to perform any obligation under the Transaction Documents to the extent it forms the view, in its reasonable opinion, that notwithstanding that it has taken all action to comply with any applicable AML/CTF Laws, it is required to decline to perform those obligations under any such AML/CTF Laws. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party and the Noteholders and Unitholders releases each other party (a “Released Party”) from any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations that a Released Party would otherwise owe to it in respect of this Agreement and to the extent to which it is able, any applicable confidentiality and privacy laws, but only to the extent that the existence of these obligations or laws would otherwise prevent a Released Party from providing any information or documents requested in accordance with this clause or any similar clause in any other Transaction Document.

 

(29) Regulation AB Financial Disclosure

 

  (a) Party A acknowledges that for so long as Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited is required to file Exchange Act Reports, Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited is required under Regulation AB to disclose certain information set forth in Regulation AB regarding Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, depending on the aggregate significance percentage of this Agreement and any other derivative contracts between Party A or its group of affiliated entities, if applicable, and Party B, as calculated from time to time in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB.

 

  (b) If at any time during which Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited is required to file Exchange Act Reports, the Manager determines, reasonably and in good faith, that the significance percentage of this Agreement calculated in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB has become less than 20% or less than 10%, the Manager shall notify Party A of that fact no later than ten (10) New York business days after such determination has been made. If the Manager determines on any date of determination at any time during which Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited is required to file Exchange Act Reports, reasonably and in good faith, that the significance percentage of this Agreement calculated in accordance with Item 1115 of Regulation AB is or has become: (A) 10% or more, but less than 20%, or (B) 20% or more, then on any Local Business Day after the date of such determination, the Manager may request Party A to provide the relevant Swap Financial Disclosure by making a Swap Financial Disclosure Request. Thereafter, the Manager shall inform Party A no later than ten (10) Local Business Days following such time as (i) the Manager has determined that Exchange Act Reports are no longer required to be filed in respect of the Relevant Notes pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Act or (ii) Swap Financial Disclosure is no longer required to be included or incorporated by reference in such Exchange Act Reports.

 

50


  (c) So long as the Exchange Act Reports are required to be filed by Macquarie Leasing Pty Limited under the Exchange Act and Swap Financial Disclosure is required to be included or incorporated by reference in the Exchange Act Reports pursuant to Item 1115(b)(2) or Item 1115(b)(1), as applicable, of Regulation AB, Party A, at its own expense, shall within four (4) Local Business Days after receipt of a Swap Financial Disclosure Request, provide Party B and the Manager with the relevant Swap Financial Disclosure described in Part 5(29)(b) of this Schedule.

 

  (d) If Party A is not able to provide the relevant Swap Financial Disclosure in accordance with Part 5(29)(c) of this Schedule, then Party A, at its own expense, shall secure another entity to replace Party A as party to this Agreement on terms substantially similar to this Agreement which entity is able to and will provide the Swap Financial Disclosure for such entity within the time period specified in Part 5(29)(c) of this Schedule (subject to the issuance of a Rating Notification by the Manager).

 

  (e) The parties agree that, if permitted by Regulation AB, any required Swap Financial Disclosure may be provided by Party A by incorporation by reference from reports filed by Party A pursuant to the Exchange Act. The parties agree that, if Swap Financial Disclosure is provided by Party A as set forth in the first sentence of this Part 5(29)(e), Party B and any affiliate of the Manager on its behalf, as applicable, are authorised to incorporate by reference into the Preliminary Prospectus or Final Prospectus any such reports filed by Party A with the Commission pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act which contain any required Swap Financial Disclosure. The parties also agree that, if Swap Financial Disclosure is provided by Party A as set forth in the first sentence of this Part 5(29)(e), Party B and any affiliate of the Manager on its behalf, as applicable, are authorised to incorporate by reference into the Preliminary Prospectus or Final Prospectus any documents filed by Party A with the Commission pursuant to section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement and prior to the termination of the offering described in the prospectus of the Series Trust relating to the offer and sale of the Relevant Notes.

  (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the Swap Financial Disclosure provided by Party A;

 

  (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state in the Swap Financial Disclosure provided by Party A a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; or

 

  (iii)

any failure by Party A to provide Party B or the Manager with the relevant Swap Financial Disclosure when and as required under this Part 5(29); provided, however, that, if Party A secures another entity to replace Party A as party to this Agreement pursuant to Part 5(29)(d) of this Schedule, Party A shall not be liable for any losses, claims, damages

 

51


  or liabilities (including reasonable legal fees and expenses) to which any of the Party A Indemnified Persons may become subject arising out of or based upon a failure by Party A to provide Party B or the Manager with the relevant Swap Financial Disclosure following the provision of the relevant Swap Financial Disclosure by the other entity to Party B or the Manager.
