Bank Account and credited to the Series Revenue Ledger and form part of the Available Revenue Funds for<br />

a Distribution Date.<br />

The Issuer may terminate a Series Currency Swap Agreement in certain circumstances including, inter alia,<br />

where the Series Currency Swap Provider fails to make a payment that is due pursuant to that Series<br />

Currency Swap Agreement and/or the Series Currency Swap Provider is subject to certain bankruptcy events.<br />

The Series Currency Swap Provider may terminate the Series Currency Swap Agreement in certain<br />

circumstances, including if the Issuer fails to make a payment that is due pursuant to that Series Currency<br />

Swap Agreement; if the Issuer is subject to certain bankruptcy events; if a Series Event of Default occurs<br />

under Condition 12 (in which case termination may be automatic); or if the Notes are redeemed in full<br />

pursuant to Condition 9(d).<br />

A Series Currency Swap Agreement may also be terminated by either party if it becomes illegal for either<br />

party to perform its obligations under that Series Currency Swap Agreement or, subject to certain conditions,<br />

by a party affected by the imposition of withholding tax.<br />

As at the Issue Date, the Series Currency Swap Provider (or its credit support provider, if any) will be<br />

required to have a rating assigned for its short-term unsecured, unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt<br />

obligations of at least A-1 by S&P, P-1 by Moody’s (if any such obligations are rated by Moody’s) and F1<br />

by Fitch and a rating assigned for its long-term unsecured, unsubordinated and unguaranteed debt<br />

obligations of at least A2 by Moody’s (or A1 by Moody’s if its short-term unsecured unsubordinated and<br />

unguaranteed debt obligations are not rated by Moody’s) and A by Fitch. If the Series Currency Swap<br />

Provider (and its credit support provider, if any) are downgraded below the ratings specified in the relevant<br />

Series Currency Swap Agreement (in accordance with the requirements of the Rating Agencies) then the<br />

Series Currency Swap Provider will, in accordance with the provisions of and subject to the timeframes<br />

specified in the relevant Series Currency Swap Agreement, be required to take certain remedial measures<br />

which may include providing collateral in accordance with a mark-to-market collateral agreement, obtaining<br />

a guarantee from a guarantor that satisfies the requirements specified in the relevant Series Currency Swap<br />

Agreement, transferring the relevant Series Currency Swap Agreement to an entity that satisfies the<br />

requirements specified in the relevant Series Currency Swap Agreement or taking such other actions as it<br />

may agree with the relevant Rating Agency. In accordance with the requirements of the Rating Agencies, if<br />

the Series Currency Swap Provider remains a party to the Series Currency Swap Agreement and the Series<br />

Currency Swap Provider (and its credit support provider, if any) are subsequently further downgraded below<br />

the ratings specified in the Series Currency Swap Agreements, then the Series Currency Swap Provider will<br />

be subject to additional, more restrictive requirements. If the Series Currency Swap Provider (and its credit<br />

support provider, if any), as applicable, are downgraded by a Rating Agency and the Series Currency Swap<br />

Provider fails to comply with the applicable ratings downgrade provisions as set out in the relevant Series<br />

Currency Swap Agreement, the Issuer may terminate the relevant Series Currency Swap. Where the Series<br />

Currency Swap Provider provides collateral in accordance with the terms of the Series Currency Swap<br />

Agreements, such collateral will, upon receipt by the Issuer, be credited to a separate ledger (created to<br />

record such amounts) and transferred (if in cash form) to an appropriate collateral account. Any collateral<br />

provided by the Series Currency Swap Provider will not form part of the Available Revenue Funds except in<br />

accordance with the terms of the arrangements providing for the payment of such collateral in respect of the<br />

Series.<br />

The Series Currency Swap Provider may, subject to certain conditions specified in the Series Currency Swap<br />

Agreement, including certain requirements of the Rating Agencies, transfer its obligations in respect of the<br />

Series Currency Swap Agreements to another entity.<br />

The Series Currency Swap Agreements together with the Series Interest Rate Cap Agreement, the Series<br />

Spread Cap Agreement and the Series Interest Rate Swap Agreement are the Series Hedge Agreements.<br />
