2. The following new Condition 7.6 is inserted:

7.6 Benchmark replacement

No Successor Reference Rate, Alternative Reference Rate and/or Adjustment Spread may

be used by the Issuer pursuant to this Condition 7.6 without the prior written approval of

APRA. Such approval is at the discretion of APRA and may or may not be given.

Notwithstanding the provisions above in this Condition 7, if the Issuer determines that a

Benchmark Event has occurred in respect of a Reference Rate where any Interest Rate (or

any component thereof) remains to be determined by reference to such Reference Rate, then

the following provisions shall apply to the relevant Subordinated Notes:

(a) the Issuer shall use reasonable endeavours to appoint an Independent Adviser, at the

Issuer’s own expense, to determine a Successor Reference Rate or, if such

Independent Adviser is unable so to determine a Successor Reference Rate, an

Alternative Reference Rate and, in each case, an Adjustment Spread (if any) (in any

such case, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner) for the

purposes of determining the Interest Rate applicable to the Subordinated Notes for all




future Interest Accrual Periods (subject to the subsequent operation of this Condition

7.6);

(b) subject to paragraph (c) of this Condition 7.6, if

(1) the relevant Independent Adviser (acting in good faith and in a commercially

reasonable manner), no later than five Business Days prior to the Interest

Determination Date relating to the next Interest Accrual Period (the “IA

Determination Cut-off Date”) determines a Successor Reference Rate or, if

such Independent Adviser fails so to determine a Successor Reference Rate,

an Alternative Reference Rate and, in each case, an Adjustment Spread (if

any) (in any such case, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable

manner) for the purposes of determining the Interest Rate applicable to the

Subordinated Notes for all future Interest Accrual Periods (subject to the

subsequent operation of this Condition 7.6 during any other future Interest

Accrual Period(s)); or

(2) the Issuer is unable to appoint an Independent Adviser, or the Independent

Adviser appointed by the Issuer in accordance with paragraph (a) of this

Condition 7.6 fails to determine a Successor Reference Rate or an

Alternative Reference Rate prior to the relevant IA Determination Cut-off

Date, the Issuer (acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable

manner), no later than three Business Days prior to the Interest

Determination Date relating to the next Interest Accrual Period (the “Issuer

Determination Cut-off Date”), determines a Successor Reference Rate or, if

the Issuer fails to determine a Successor Reference Rate, an Alternative

Reference Rate (as applicable) and, in each case, an Adjustment Spread (if

any) (in any such case, acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable

manner) for the purposes of determining the Interest Rate applicable to the

Subordinated Notes for all future Interest Accrual Periods (subject to the

subsequent operation of this Condition 7.6 during any other future Interest

Accrual Period(s));

then:

(3) such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as

applicable) shall be the Reference Rate for all future Interest Accrual Periods

(subject to the subsequent operation of this Condition 7.6 during any other

future Interest Accrual Period(s)).

Without prejudice to the definitions thereof, for the purposes of determining a

Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate, the Issuer will take

into account relevant and applicable market precedents as well as any

published guidance from relevant associations involved in the establishment

of market standards and/or protocols in the Australian or international debt

capital markets (as applicable) and such other materials as the Issuer, acting

in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner, considers

appropriate; and

(4) If the relevant Independent Adviser or the Issuer (as applicable), acting in

good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner:

I. determines that an Adjustment Spread is required to be applied to

the Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as

applicable) and determines the quantum of, or a formula or

methodology for determining, such Adjustment Spread, then such

Adjustment Spread shall be applied to such Successor Reference

Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) for all future




Interest Accrual Periods (subject to the subsequent operation of this

Condition 7.6); or

II. is unable to determine the quantum of, or a formula or methodology

for determining, an Adjustment Spread, or determines that no such

Adjustment Spread is required, then such Successor Reference Rate

or Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable) will apply without an

Adjustment Spread for all future Interest Accrual Periods (subject to

the subsequent operation of this Condition 7.6).

Without prejudice to the definition thereof, for the purposes of

determining an Adjustment Spread (if any), the Issuer will take into

account relevant and applicable market precedents as well as any

published guidance from relevant associations involved in the

establishment of market standards and/or protocols in the Australian

or international debt capital markets (as applicable) and such other

materials as the Issuer, acting in good faith and in a commercially

reasonable manner, considers appropriate.

(c) Notwithstanding paragraph (b) above, if

(1) the Independent Adviser appointed by the Issuer in accordance with

paragraph (a) of this Condition 7.6 notifies the Issuer prior to the IA

Determination Cut-off Date that it has determined that no Successor

Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate exists;

(2) the Independent Adviser appointed by the Issuer in accordance with

paragraph (a) of this Condition 7.6 fails to determine a Successor Reference

Rate or an Alternative Reference Rate prior to the relevant IA Determination

Cut-off Date, without notifying the Issuer as contemplated in sub-paragraph

(c)(1) of this Condition 7.6, and the Issuer (acting in good faith and in a

commercially reasonable manner) determines prior to the IA Determination

Cut-off Date that no Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate

exists; or

(3) neither a Successor Reference Rate nor an Alternative Reference Rate is

otherwise determined in accordance with paragraph (2) above prior to the

Issuer Determination Cut-off Date,

the Interest Rate applicable to the Subordinated Notes shall be (in respect of Floating

Rate Subordinated Notes) the Interest Rate as at the last preceding Interest

Determination Date or (in respect of a reset of the Interest Rate for Fixed Rate

Subordinated Notes) the Interest Rate as at the last preceding reset date or, if none,

as at the Interest Commencement Date.

This paragraph (c) shall apply to the relevant Interest Accrual Period or reset date

only. Any subsequent Interest Accrual Period(s) or reset date(s) shall be subject to

the operation of this Condition 7.6.

(d) An Independent Adviser appointed pursuant to this Condition 7.6 will act in good faith

and in a commercially reasonable manner, and (in the absence of bad faith, gross

negligence or wilful misconduct) shall have no liability whatsoever to the Issuer, the

Registrar, any relevant Agent, the Calculation Agent or the holders of a Series of

Subordinated Notes for any determination made by it or for any advice given to the

Issuer in connection with any determination made by the Issuer pursuant to this

Condition 7.6.




(e) The Registrar and any relevant Agent shall, at the direction and expense of the

Issuer, effect such waivers and consequential amendments to any applicable agency

agreement, these Conditions and any other document as may be required to give

effect to any application of this Condition 7.6, including, but not limited to:

(1) changes to these Conditions which the relevant Independent Adviser or the

Issuer (as applicable) acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable

manner determines may be required in order to follow market practice

(determined according to factors including, but not limited to, public

statements, opinions and publications of industry bodies and organisations)

in relation to such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate

(as applicable), including, but not limited to (1) the Business Day, Business

Day Convention, Day Count Fraction, Interest Determination Date,

Reference Banks, Relevant Financial Centre, Relevant Screen Page and/or

Relevant Time applicable to the Subordinated Notes and (2) the method for

determining the fallback to the Interest Rate in relation to the Subordinated

Notes if such Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate (as

applicable) is not available; and

(2) any other changes which the relevant Independent Adviser or the Issuer (as

applicable) acting in good faith and in a commercially reasonable manner

determines are reasonably necessary to ensure the proper operation and

comparability to the Reference Rate of such Successor Reference Rate or

Alternative Reference Rate (as applicable).

(f) The Issuer may only use a Successor Reference Rate, Alternative Reference Rate

and/or Adjustment Spread pursuant to this Condition 7.6 for the purposes of

determining the Interest Rate applicable to any Subordinated Note if it has received

the prior written approval of APRA (such approval being at the discretion of APRA

and may or may not be given).

No consent of the Holders shall be required in connection with effecting the relevant

Successor Reference Rate or Alternative Reference Rate as described in this

Condition 7.6 or such other relevant adjustments pursuant to this Condition 7.6, or

any Adjustment Spread, including for the execution of, or amendment to, any

documents or the taking of other steps by the Issuer or any of the parties to any

relevant agency agreement (if required).
