If the relevant interests of a group of persons are essentially similar, they may be referred to throughout the form as a specifically named group if the membership of each group, with the names and addresses of members is clearly set out in paragraph 4 of the form.

• (2) See the definition of "relevant interest" in sections 608 and 671B(7) of the Corporations Act 2001.

• (3) See the definition of "associate" in section 9 of the Corporations Act 2001.

20-Nov-18 Maria Tricarico, Authorised Signatory Date	20-Nov-18 Maria Tricarico, Authorised Signatory Date
Type of agreement:	Global Master Securities Lending Agreement
Parties to agreement:	Party A - Citigroup Global Markets Limited Party B - HSBC Institutional Trust Services (Asia) Limited
Transfer date:	Refer to Annexure A (transactions identified as collateral transfers)
Holder of voting rights:	BlackRock Asset Management North Asia Limited (as investment manager for the funds)
Are there any restrictions on voting rights? If yes, detail	Yes. Unless otherwise agreed between the parties, the Registered Owner will not exercise any voting rights.
Scheduled return date (if any):	Not applicable.
Does the borrower have the right to return early? If yes, detail	Yes. Upon an Event of Default under the GMSLA, the GMSLA provides, broadly, that both parties payment and delivery obligations will be accelerated and replaced with an obligation of one party to pay a single cash sum to the other determined in accordance with the provisions of the GMSLA (as modified by the Annex). The GMSLA provides that the parties’ right to terminate the Agreement upon notice will not affect the parties’ existing obligations in respect of any outstanding loans of securities. The Annex amended and restricted the Borrower's termination rights – i.e. Borrower may not have the right to terminate and return the borrowed securities - as the Borrower was to borrow the securities issued by it (or its sister company) to provide protection against the insolvency of the issuer and so usual rights of termination in a GMSLA were restricted. Subject to the terms of the relevant Loan, the Borrower, may early terminate a Loan and return Equivalent Securities at any time provided that it “shall cease to have such entitlement if an Act of Insolvency with respect to any Security Issuer or any of the Borrower’s or any Security Issuer’s affiliates has occurred, or any such person takes any steps preparatory to any of the matters which would constitute an Act of Insolvency
Does the lender have the right to recall early? If yes, detail	Yes, at notice.
Will the securities be returned on settlement? If yes, detail any exceptions	Yes.

A copy of this agreement will be provided to ORIGIN ENERGY LTD the Australian Securities and Investments Commission upon request.
