  issues rated by S&P – Australian Ratings

In addition, if the determination is being made for S&P, (a) not more than 10% of the aggregate Discounted Value of the Eligible Portfolio Property of the Corporation can consist of Australian Corporate Bonds issued by a single issuer, (b) not more than 50% (if the issue is rated AAA by S&P) or 33.3% (if the issue is rated AA or A by S&P) or 20% (if the issue is rated BBB by S&P) of the aggregate Discounted Value of the Eligible Portfolio Property of the Corporation can consist of Australian Corporate Bonds from issues representing a single industry, (c) not more than 5% of the then–outstanding principal amount of any one issue can be included in Eligible Portfolio Property, (d) not more than 20% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Australian Corporate Bonds held by the Corporation and included in Eligible Portfolio Property shall be comprised of securities with a then–outstanding issue size of less than A$100 million, and (e) such corporate debt obligations are subject to the following ratings limitations (which are cumulative):

Rating	% of total Discounted Value of Eligible Portfolio Property allowed at each ratings level

“Market Value” means the amount determined with respect to specific assets of the Corporation in the manner set forth below, it being understood that Market Value shall include any interest accrued thereon but, in the case of Moody’s, only if the next interest coupon on such asset is due and payable within 47 days of the Reporting Date, and that a designated Pricing Service may be used where indicated.

(a)

as to Australian, Canadian and United Kingdom Securities, and in the case of Moody's, as to Asian Yankee Bonds, Commonwealth Yankee Bonds, New Zealand Corporate Bonds, New Zealand Government Securities and Other Asian Bonds, the Administrator or the Custodian shall value such securities at the last trade price quoted by a designated Pricing Service if such trade price reflects a trade on, or within one local business day prior to, the Reporting Date. If no such trade price is available, the Administrator or the Custodian shall value such securities, where practicable, at the bid prices or the mean between the bid and asked price quoted by a designated Pricing Service on the Reporting Date, or if such quotes are not readily available, at fair value as determined by a designated Pricing Service (or the Administrator or Custodian if the Rating Agencies so permit) using methods which include: consideration of yields or prices of assets of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating; indications as to value from dealers; and general market conditions. Either the Administrator or the Custodian or a designated Pricing Service may employ electronic data processing techniques and/or a matrix system to determine valuations. In the event the Administrator or the Custodian or a designated Pricing Service is unable to value a security, the security shall be valued at the lower of two dealer bids (both of which shall be in writing or by telecopy, telex or other electronic transcription, computer obtained quotation reduced to written form or similar means) provided to the Corporation, by two recognized securities dealers in either (i) Australia, with respect to Australian Securities, (ii) Canada, with respect to Canadian Securities or (iii) the United Kingdom, with respect to United Kingdom Securities, such securities dealers making a market in the applicable securities, or in the case of Moody's, with respect to Asian Yankee Bonds, Commonwealth Yankee Bonds, New Zealand Corporate Bonds, New Zealand Government Securities and Other Asian Bonds, two recognized securities dealers in the jurisdiction of the issuer.

(b)

as to GNMA Certificates, GNMA Graduated Payment Securities, FNMA Certificates, FHLMC Certificates, FHLMC Multifamily Securities and U.S. Treasury/Agency Asset-Backed Securities, the Pricing Service (or the Administrator or the Custodian, if the Rating Agencies so permit) shall value such securities as the product of (i) the aggregate unpaid principal amount of the mortgage loans evidenced by each such certificate or security, as the case may be, as of the close of business in New York City on the last Business Day prior to such Valuation Date and (ii) the lower of the bid prices for the same kind of certificate or, if not available, some other security having, as nearly as practicable, comparable interest rates and maturities, as quoted to the Corporation by two nationally recognized securities dealers, who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers selected by the Corporation and making a market therein, with at least one such quotation in writing plus, accrued interest to the Valuation Date if the next interest coupon on such security is due and payable within 46 days of such Valuation Date;

(c)

as to Australian, Canadian, EU, Other Asian, European, New Zealand and United Kingdom Currency and as to Cash, demand deposits included in Short Term Money Market Instruments, the Administrator or the Custodian shall value such currency or securities as the face value thereof;

(d)

as to next Business Day repurchase agreements, the face value thereof;

(e)

as to U.S. Government Obligations, the Administrator or the Custodian shall value such securities at the bid prices quoted by a designated Pricing Service or the mean between the bid and asked price quoted by a designated Pricing Service on the Reporting Date, or if such quotes are not readily available, at fair value as determined by a designated Pricing Service (or the Administrator or the Custodian, if the Rating Agencies so permit) using methods which include: consideration of yields or prices of assets of comparable quality, type of issue, coupon, maturity and rating; indications as to value from dealers; and general market conditions. Either the Administrator, the Custodian or a designated Pricing Service may employ electronic data processing techniques and/or a matrix system to determine valuations.  In the event the Administrator or the Custodian or a designated Pricing Service is unable to value a security, the security shall be valued at the lower of two dealer bids (at least one of which shall be in writing or by telecopy or other electronic transcription, computer obtained quotation reduced to written form or similar means) provided for the Corporation by two nationally recognized securities dealers, who are members of the National Association of Securities Dealers selected by the Corporation and making a market therein; and

(f)

as to AMPS Interest Rate Swaps, the Administrator shall determine the net value of the interest rate swaps on a daily marked–to–market basis in accordance with their Valuation Procedures, as such Valuation Procedures may be amended from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, based on price information received from the Eligible AMPS Interest Rate Swap Counterparty.

Without amending the Charter, (i) the calculation of the Market Value of an asset constituting Eligible Portfolio Property may be changed to any method recognized by the Rating Agencies from that set forth in this Article XII and (ii) a method recognized by the Rating Agencies for calculating the Market Value of any asset identified as Eligible Portfolio Property may be specified if the Rating Agencies advise the Corporation in writing that the change or specification will not adversely affect their respective then–current ratings of the AMPS.
