Legal Opinion Contacts:

In the interest of fulfilling ISDA members requests for the prompt delivery
of its legal opinions the latest volume of opinions is available in PDF file
format. This electronic format should allow Legal Opinion Contacts to
distribute copies to other persons within their organizations more easily.
Only bound copies of the opinions will be distributed by post. A free copy
of Adobe Acrobat Reader, which launches the PDF file format program, can be
obtained from the following Adobe web site:
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep.html.

A copy of the update legal opinion discussing the enforceability of the
termination, bilateral close-out netting and multibranch close-out netting
provisions of the 1987 and 1992 ISDA Master Agreements for Australia can be
obtained from the ISDA website at the following address:

Please note that both the revised opinion for Australia and the netting
opinion updates will be available on the ISDA web site for one week. The
opinions will be removed from the web site on Tuesday, February 22, 2000 at
5:00pm New York time.

Members are reminded that the ISDA legal opinions are intended for use by
ISDA members only .

We have recently given Primary Contacts at our member firms the option of
directing the legal opinions to a different individual at the firm. In the
past the opinions were automatically sent to the Primary Contact even though
another person at the institution may have been most interested in the
opinions. For this reason, going forward the opinions and updates will be
sent to the Legal Opinion Contacts at our member institutions. Where a Legal
Opinion Contact was not designated by an institution, the Primary Contact
will continue to receive the opinions and updates.

Regional and Documentation Contacts have been notified that this volume of
opinions has been distributed and of its availability from Legal Opinion
Contacts electronically.

ISDA is pleased to provide this new opinion delivery service to its members
and we welcome any comments or questions you may have. If you encounter any
problems accessing the documents from the ISDA web site please contact us by
return e-mail or by telephone on 212 332 1200.

Robert Pickel
General Counsel
