Notes is not unconditionally received by it or to its order in
accordance with the Agency Agreement.

For the purposes of any redemption of Class A Notes under the relevant
Condition 5, the Note Trustee may rely upon an Officer's Certificate of the
Trust Manager certifying that the Trustee will be in a position to
discharge all its liabilities in respect of the Class A Notes and any
amounts required under the Security Trust Deed to be paid in priority to or
pari passu with those Class A Notes and such certificate shall be
conclusive and binding on the Trustee, the Note Trustee and the holders of
those Class A Notes. The Note Trustee shall not incur any liability as a
result of relying on such certificate or such certificate subsequently
being considered invalid.

Principal Payment or the Principal Amount applicable to any Class A Notes

Agreement) manually or by facsimile by an Authorised Signatory of the
Principal Paying Agent and no Global Note shall be valid for any
purpose unless and until so authenticated. Each Global Note must be
signed manually or by facsimile by an Authorised Signatory or attorney
of the Trustee on behalf of the Trustee and must be authenticated
manually or by facsimile by the Principal Paying Agent.
(f) Whenever a notice or other communication to the Class A Noteholders is
required under this deed to be given by the Note Trustee, unless and
until Definitive Notes have been issued to the Note Owners pursuant to

communications specified herein to be given to the Class A Noteholders
to the relevant Clearing Agency, and shall have no obligation to the
Note Owners in respect of the same.
(g) Unless and until the Definitive Notes have been issued to the Note
Owners pursuant to clause 3.3:

purposes of this deed (including the payment of principal of and
interest on the Class A Notes and the giving of instructions or
directions hereunder) as the sole holder of the Class A Notes,
and shall have no obligation to any Note Owners;
(iii) to the extent that the provisions of this clause conflict with
any other provisions of this deed, the provisions of this clause
shall prevail;
(iv) the rights of Note Owners shall be exercised only through the
relevant Clearing Agency and shall be limited to those
established by law and agreements between such Note Owners and
the relevant Clearing Agency and/or the relevant Clearing Agency
Participants. Pursuant to the Note Depository Agreement, unless
and until Definitive Notes are issued in respect of the Class A
Notes pursuant to clause 3.3(a), the relevant initial Clearing
Agency will make book-entry transfers among the relevant Clearing
Agency Participants and receive and transmit payments of
principal and interest on the Class A Notes to such Clearing
Agency Participants; and
(v) whenever this deed requires or permits actions to be taken based
upon instructions or directions of Note Owners evidencing a
specific percentage of the Principal Amounts of all Class A

Clearing Agency Participants owning or representing,
respectively, such required percentage of the beneficial interest
in all Class A Notes and has delivered such instructions to the
Principal Paying Agent.
3.3 ISSUE OF DEFINITIVE NOTES
If at any time the Class A Notes are represented by Global Notes and:
(a) the Principal Paying Agent advises the Trust Manager in writing that
DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its
responsibilities as depository for the Class A Notes and the Trust
Manger is unable to locate a qualified successor; or
(b) the Trustee, at the direction of the Trust Manager, advises the
Principal Paying Agent in writing that it has elected to terminate the
book-entry system through DTC; or
(c) after the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Note Trustee, at the
written direction of Noteholders holding a majority of the outstanding
Principal Amount of the Class A Notes, advises the Trustee and the
Principal Paying Agent that the continuation of a book-entry system is
no longer in the best interests of the Class A Noteholders,
then the Trust Manager must direct the Trustee to, and the Trustee must (at
its expense), within 30 days of becoming aware of the occurrence of the
relevant event, issue Definitive Notes in exchange for the whole of the
outstanding interest in each Global Note for Class A Notes.
3.4 NOTICE OF EXCHANGE EVENTS
(a) The Trustee or the Trust Manager shall notify the Note Trustee
forthwith if the Trustee or the Trust Manager (as the case may be)

Page 9

(d) Definitive Notes shall be signed manually or in facsimile by an

of Definitive Notes is an Authorised Signatory of the Trustee
notwithstanding that at the time of issue of any Definitive Notes that
person has ceased for any reason to be an Authorised Signatory of the
Trustee and Definitive Notes so executed shall be binding and valid
obligations of the Trustee. The Trustee shall procure that an
Authorised Signatory of the Principal Paying Agent authenticates
(subject to the terms of the Agency Agreement) each Definitive Note.
No Definitive Note relating to it shall be valid for any purpose
unless and until so authenticated.
3.6 STAMP AND OTHER TAXES
The Trustee will pay any stamp and other duties and Taxes payable in

3.7 INDEMNITY FOR NON-ISSUE

Notes in respect of any Class A Notes following an event specified in

indemnified against any loss or damage incurred by any of them if the
amount received by the Note Trustee, the Class A Noteholders or the Note

Notes been issued within the 30 days referred to above. If and for so long
as the Trustee discharges its obligations under this indemnity, the
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 10
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

3.8 NOTE REGISTER AND NOTE REGISTRAR
(a) The Note Registrar, on behalf of the Trustee, shall keep or cause to
be kept the Note Register in which, subject to such reasonable
regulations as it may prescribe, the Note Registrar, on behalf of the
Trustee, shall provide for the registration of the Class A Notes and
the registration of transfers of Class A Notes. The Note Registrar

with the Agency Agreement.
(b) Upon surrender for registration of the transfer of any Class A Note at

Trustee, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one
or more new Class A Notes, in any authorised denominations and of a
like aggregate principal amount.
(c) At the option of the Class A Noteholders, Class A Notes may be
exchanged for other Class A Notes in any authorised denominations and

to be exchanged at any such office or agency referred to in paragraph

if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Trustee
must execute and upon its written request the Principal Paying Agent
must authenticate and the Class A Noteholder shall obtain from the
Note Trustee, the Class A Notes which the Class A Noteholder making
the exchange is entitled to receive.
(d) Every Class A Note presented or surrendered for registration of
transfer or exchange shall be:
(i) duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of
transfer in a form satisfactory to the Note Registrar duly
executed by the transferring Class A Noteholder or its attorney
duly authorised in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an

require.
(e) No service charge shall be made to a Class A Noteholder for any
registration of transfer or exchange of Class A Notes, but the Trustee

3.9 US TAX TREATMENT
It is the intention of the parties to this deed and, by their holding of
the Class A Notes, the Class A Noteholders, that the Class A Notes be
treated for United States federal income tax purposes as debt denominated
in US dollars. To the extent that the Class A Notes are not treated, for
United States federal income tax purposes as debts denominated in US
dollars, the Note Trustee, by entering into this deed and each Class A
Noteholder, by its acceptance of its Class A Note hereby identify the Class
A Noteholder's interest in:
(a) the Class A A$ Equivalent of the Principal Amount of the relevant
Class A Notes (the CLASS A PRINCIPAL AMOUNT) and the Class A A$
Interest Amount payable with respect to those Class A Notes (the CLASS
A INTEREST, and together with the Class A Principal Amount, the CLASS
A HYPOTHETICAL A$ SECURITY); and
(b) the Class A Currency Swap,
for the purposes of Code Section 988(d)(2)(B) and Treasury regulation
section 1.988-5(a)(8) as a "qualified hedging transaction" as defined in
Treasury regulation section 1.988-5(a)(1). For such purposes:
(i) the Class A Hypothetical A$ Security represents a qualifying debt
instrument and the Class A Currency Swap, a hedge;
(ii) each qualifying debt instrument and each hedge were acquired and
entered into, respectively, as of the Note Issue Date (or, in the
case of any subsequent acquisition of a Class A Note, as of the
date of such subsequent acquisition);
(iii) each qualifying debt instrument and each hedge are hereby
identified as constituting a qualified hedging transaction;
(iv) no amount must be deferred by reason of legging into integrated
treatment;
(v) each qualified debt instrument is described by the definitions of
Class A Principal Amount and Class A Interest, and the
definitions relating thereto applying in this deed, and each
hedge is described by the definition of Class A Currency Swap
applying in this deed; and
(vi) the cash flow resulting from the treatment of each qualifying
debt instrument and each hedge as a qualified hedging transaction
is the US dollar cash flow that is payable under the terms of the
Class A Notes.
4. COVENANT OF COMPLIANCE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the Trustee and the Trust Manager covenants with the Note Trustee
that it will comply with and perform and observe all provisions of the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

be binding on the Trustee, the Note Trustee and the Class A Noteholders.
The Note Trustee (or the Class A Noteholders, under clause 6.4, as the case

effect as if set out in this deed.
5. CANCELLATION OF CLASS A NOTES

(a) At any time while an Event of Default is subsisting the Note Trustee
may (subject to the Security Trust Deed, to clauses 6.3 and 7, and to
the relevant Conditions 9 and 10) at its discretion and without
further notice and must, if so directed or requested under clause 7.1,
take any action available to it to direct the Security Trustee to:
(i) institute any proceedings against the Trustee and/or the Trust
Manager which are permitted under the Transaction Documents;
(ii) enforce the security created under the Security Trust Deed; and
(iii) enforce repayment of the Class A Notes together with accrued

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 13
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(i) the Event of Default is not an Event of Default under clause
8.1(a) of the Security Trust Deed; and
(ii) it determines (and only for so long as it so determines) in good
faith that withholding such notice is in the interests of the
Class A Noteholders.
6.2 EVIDENCE OF DEFAULT
If the Security Trustee or the Note Trustee takes any action against the
Trustee to enforce any of the provisions of any Class A Notes, or this
deed, proof that as regards any Class A Note, the Trustee has not paid any
principal or interest due in respect of that Class A Note shall (unless the
contrary is proved) be sufficient evidence that the Trustee has not paid
that principal or interest on all other Class A Notes in respect of which
the relevant payment is then due.
6.3 RESTRICTIONS ON ENFORCEMENT
(a) If any of the Class A Notes remain outstanding and are due and payable
otherwise than by reason of a default in payment of any amount due on
the Class A Notes, the Note Trustee must not vote under the Security
Trust Deed to, or otherwise direct the Security Trustee to, dispose of
the Mortgaged Property (as defined in the Security Trust Deed) unless
either:
(i) the Note Trustee is of the opinion, reached after considering at
any time and from time to time the advice of a merchant bank or
other financial institution selected by the Note Trustee in its
absolute discretion (the cost of which advice the Trustee
indemnifies the Note Trustee) that a sufficient amount would be
realised to discharge in full all amounts owing to the Class A
Noteholders and any other amounts payable by the Trustee ranking
in priority to or pari passu with the Class A Notes; or
(ii) the Note Trustee is of the opinion, reached after considering at
any time and from time to time the advice of a merchant bank or
other financial adviser selected by the Note Trustee in its sole
and absolute discretion (the cost of which advice the Trustee
indemnifies the Note Trustee), that the cash flow receivable by
the Trustee (or the Security Trustee under the Security Trust
Deed) will not (or that there is a significant risk that it will
not) be sufficient, having regard to any other relevant actual,
contingent or prospective liabilities of the Trustee, to
discharge in full in due course all the amounts referred to in
paragraph (i) relating to the Trust.
(b) Neither the Note Trustee (except in the case of negligence, fraud or
wilful default by it) nor the Security Trustee (except in the case of
negligence, fraud or wilful default by it) will be liable for any
decline in the value, nor any loss realised upon any sale or other
dispositions made under the Security Trust Deed, of any Mortgaged
Property or any other property which is charged to the Security
Trustee by any other person in respect of or relating to the
obligations of the Trustee or any third party in respect of the
Trustee or the Class A Notes or relating in any way to the Mortgaged
Property. Without limitation, neither the Note Trustee nor the
Security Trustee shall be liable for any such decline or loss directly
or indirectly arising from its acting, or failing to act, as a
consequence of an opinion reached by it in good faith based on advice
received by it in accordance with paragraph (a).

the Trustee but then only if and to the extent the Class A Noteholders are
able to do so under the Transaction Documents.

and/or (b) above of the Class A Noteholders, direct the Security Trustee to
enforce the Security Trust Deed on behalf of the Noteholders.

become bound to take steps and/or to proceed under the Security Trust Deed,
fails to do so within a reasonable time and such failure is continuing, the
Note Trustee and/or Class A Noteholders may proceed directly against the
Trustee but then only if and to the extent the Class A Noteholders are able
to do so under the Transaction Documents. The Security Trustee shall comply
with all directions given to it by the Note Trustee pursuant to any power
to give directions granted to the Note Trustee pursuant to this deed or to
the Security Trust Deed provided that the Security Trustee has the power
under the Security Trust Deed to take the action contemplated by the
direction, and the Security Trustee shall not be liable for any direct and

or not capable of remedy. Notwithstanding the generality of the

Trust Manager, the Security Trustee, the Note Trustee or any Paying
Agent is affected by any notice to the contrary.
(b) So long as the Class A Notes, or any of them, are represented by a
Global Note, the Trustee, the Trust Manager, the Security Trustee, the
Note Trustee and any Paying Agent may treat the person for the time
being shown in the records of the relevant Clearing Agency as the
holder of any Class A Notes as the absolute owner of those Class A
Notes and the Trustee, the Trust Manager, the Security Trustee, the

Trustee, or the Security Trustee (as the case may be)) pays the

Class A Notes for so long as those Class A Notes are represented by a
Global Note.

as sufficient evidence a certificate or letter or confirmation signed on

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 31

(i) any loss or damage incurred by any of them arising from the
non-payment by the Trustee of any US$ due to the Note Trustee or
the relevant Class A Noteholders under this deed or the relevant
Class A Notes by reason of any variation in the rates of exchange
between those used for the purposes of calculating the amount due
under a judgment or order in respect of that payment, which
amount is expressed in a currency other than US$, and under which
the Note Trustee or the Class A Noteholders do not have an option
to have that judgment or order expressed in US$, and those
prevailing at the date of actual payment by the Trustee;
(ii) any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates
of exchange between:
(A) the date (if any) as of which the non-US$ currency
equivalent of the US$ amounts due or contingently due under
this deed (other than this clause) or in respect of the
relevant Class A Notes is calculated for the purposes of any
bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Trustee; and
(B) the final date for ascertaining the amount of claims in that
bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation provided that in that
bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation claims are required to
be made in a currency other than US$; and
The amount of that deficiency shall not be reduced by any variation in
rates of exchange occurring between that final date and the date of
any distribution of assets in connection with that bankruptcy,
insolvency or liquidation.
(b) The indemnities in this clause are obligations of the Trustee separate
and independent from its obligations under the relevant Class A Notes
and apply irrespective of any time or indulgence granted by the Note
Trustee or the relevant Class A Noteholders from time to time and
shall continue in full force and effect despite the judgment or filing
of any proof or proofs in any bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of
the Trustee for a liquidated sum or sums in respect of amounts due
under this deed (other than this clause) or the relevant Class A
Notes. Any deficiency will constitute a loss suffered by the relevant
Class A Noteholders and no proof or evidence of any actual loss shall
be required by the Trustee or its liquidator.

failure to perform or to do any act or thing which by reason of any

of any competent court or other tribunal, the Note Trustee shall be
hindered, prevented or forbidden from doing or performing.

its capacity as trustee of the Interstar Millennium Series 2005-1G Trust (the

Trustee Company Limited (in that capacity, the "SECURITY TRUSTEE", which
expression shall include its successor for the time being as security trustee
under the Security Trust Deed) and the Note Trustee. References to the
Conditions (or to any particular numbered Condition) shall be to the Terms and
Conditions of the Class A Notes (or that particular one of them) set out in
schedule 5 to the Note Trust Deed but with the deletion of those provisions
which are applicable only to Class A Notes in definitive form. Terms and
expressions defined in the Note Trust Deed and the Conditions shall, save as
expressly stated otherwise, bear the same meanings when used herein.
If the Issuer is obliged to issue Definitive Notes under clause 3.3 of the Note
Trust Deed, this Global Note may be exchanged in whole by registration on the
Note Register for Definitive Notes of Class A Notes and the Issuer shall procure
that the Note Registrar delivers by registration in the Note Register, in full
exchange for this Global Note, Definitive Notes in aggregate Principal Amount
equal to the Principal Amount of all Class A Notes represented by this Global
Note. The Issuer is not obliged to issue Definitive Notes until 30 days after
the occurrence of an event set out in clause 3.3 of the Note Trust Deed.
The Issuer in its capacity as trustee of the Trust subject to this Global Note
and subject to and in accordance with the Conditions and the Note Trust Deed
promises to pay to the registered holder of this Global Note the principal sum
of US$[*] ([*] United States Dollars) or such lesser amount as may from time to
time be represented by this Global Note (or such part of that amount as may
become repayable under to the Conditions, the Series Notice and the Note Trust
Deed) on such date(s) that that principal sum (or any part of it) becomes
repayable in accordance with the Conditions, the Series Notice and the Note
Trust Deed and to pay interest in arrears on each Payment Date (as defined in
Condition 4) on the Principal Amount of this Global Note at rates determined in
accordance with Condition 4 and all subject to and in accordance with the
certification requirements described in this Global Note, the Conditions, the
Series Notice and the Note Trust Deed, which shall be binding on the registered
holder of this Global Note (as if references in the Conditions to the Notes and
the Noteholders were references to this Global Note and the registered holder of
this Global Note respectively and as if the same had been set out in this Global
Note in full with all necessary changes, except as otherwise provided in this
Global Note).
Interest and principal on this Global Note will be payable under this Global
Note in accordance with the relevant Conditions. Each of the persons appearing
from time to time in the records of DTC as the holder of a Class A Note
represented by this Global Note will be entitled to receive any payment so made
in respect of that Class A Note in accordance with the respective rules and
procedures of DTC. Such persons will have no claim directly against the Issuer
in respect of payments due on the Class A Notes which must be made by the holder
of this Global Note, for so long as this Global Note is outstanding.
On any payment of principal and/or interest on the Class A Notes as set out
above, details of that payment shall be endorsed by or on behalf of the Issuer
on the Note Register and, in the case of payments of principal, the Principal
Amount of the Class A Notes shall be reduced for all purposes by the amount so
paid and endorsed. Any such record shall be prima facie evidence that the
payment in question has been made.
The Definitive Notes to be issued on an exchange of this Global Note will be in
registered form each in minimum denominations of US$100,000 and integral
multiples of US$1,000 in excess thereof. If the Issuer fails to meet its
obligations to issue Definitive Notes, this shall be without prejudice to the
Issuer's obligations with respect to the Notes under the Note Trust Deed, the
Master Trust Deed, the Series Notice and this Global Note.
On an exchange of this Global Note, this Global Note shall be surrendered to the
Principal Paying Agent.

extent of) any fraud, negligence or wilful default on the part of the
Issuer.

Security Trust Deed in full and final satisfaction of all moneys owing to
it, and any debt represented by any shortfall that exists after any such
final distribution is extinguished.

1. CONDITION 1. FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Class A Notes are serially numbered and will be issued in registered
form in minimum denominations of US$100,000 and integral multiples of
US$1,000 in excess thereof, without interest coupons.
The Class A Notes will be represented by three or more typewritten fully
registered book-entry notes (each, a GLOBAL NOTE and collectively, the
GLOBAL NOTES) registered in the name of Cede & Co. (CEDE) as nominee of The
Depository Trust Company (DTC). Beneficial interests in the Global Notes
will be shown on, and transfers thereof will be effected only through,
records maintained by DTC and its participants. Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V.,
as operator of the Euroclear System (EUROCLEAR) and Clearstream Banking,
societe anonyme (CLEARSTREAM, LUXEMBOURG), may hold interests in the Global
Notes on behalf of persons who have accounts with Euroclear and

Euroclear or Clearstream, Luxembourg, or in the names of their respective
depositories, with DTC.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If the Issuer is obliged to issue Definitive Notes under clause 3.3 of the
Note Trust Deed, interests in the applicable Global Note will be
transferred to the beneficial owners thereof in the form of Definitive
Notes, without interest coupons, in the denominations set forth above. A
Definitive Note will be issued to each Noteholder in respect of its
registered holding or holdings of Class A Notes against delivery by such
Noteholders of a written order containing instructions and such other
information as the Issuer and the Note Registrar may require to complete,
execute and deliver such Definitive Notes. In such circumstances, the
Issuer will cause sufficient Definitive Notes to be executed and delivered
to the Note Registrar for completion, authentication and dispatch to the
relevant Noteholders.
2. CONDITION 2. STATUS, SECURITY AND RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE REDRAW NOTES,
THE CLASS A NOTES, THE CLASS AB NOTES, THE CLASS B NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Notes are secured by a floating charge over all of the assets of the
Trust (which include, among other things, the Loans (as defined below) and
the Mortgages (as defined below) and related securities) (as more
particularly described in the Security Trust Deed) and within each class
will rank pari passu and rateably without any preference or priority among
themselves.
The priority with regard to payment of interest and principal in respect of
the Redraw Notes, the Class A Notes, the Class AB Notes, the Class B Notes
respectively are set out in Conditions 4 and 5. The Notes are secured by
the same charge, but the Redraw Notes and the Class A Notes will rank pari
passu and rateably as between themselves and in priority to the Class AB
Notes and the Class B Notes in the event of the charge created by the
security trust deed being enforced. The Class AB Notes will rank pari passu
and rateably as between themselves and in priority to the Class B Notes in
the event of the charge created by the Security Trust Deed being enforced.
Before the enforcement of the charge created by the Security Trust Deed,
and to the extent that, and for so long as, the Threshold Requirements (as
defined in the Series Notice) are satisfied, payments of principal will be
applied (subject to certain other obligations ranking in priority) in
repaying principal: first, on the Redraw Notes pari passu without
preference or priority amongst themselves; and second, on the Class A
Notes, the Class AB Notes and the Class B Notes pari passu without
preference or priority amongst themselves. If the Threshold Requirements
are satisfied prior to the third anniversary of the Issue Date, the Class
AB Notes and the Class B Notes will be entitled to only 50% of their pro
rata allocation, with the balance applied to repay principal on the Class A
Notes. On or after the third anniversary of the Issue Date, if the
Threshold Requirements are satisfied, the Class AB Notes and the Class B
Notes will be entitled to 100% of their pro rata allocation. To the extent
that, and for so long as, the Threshold Requirements are not satisfied,
before the enforcement of the charge created by the Security Trust Deed,
payments of principal will be applied (subject to certain other obligations
ranking in priority) in repaying principal: first, on the Redraw Notes pari
passu without preference or priority amongst themselves; second, on the
Class A Notes pari passu without preference or priority amongst themselves;
third, on the Class AB Notes pari passu without preference or priority
among themselves; and fourth, on the Class B notes. Payments of Interest on
the Redraw Notes and the Class A Notes will rank pari passu amongst the
Redraw Notes and the Class A Notes and in priority to payments of Interest
on the Class AB Notes and the Class B Notes. Payments of Interest on the
Class AB Notes will rank pari passu amongst the Class AB Notes and in
priority to payments of Interest on the Class B Notes.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The proceeds of the issue of the Notes are to be used by the Issuer to
purchase certain housing loans (the LOANS) and related mortgages (the
MORTGAGES) from Interstar Wholesale Finance Pty Limited (the APPROVED
SELLER).
The net proceeds of realisation of the assets of the Trust (including
following enforcement of the Security Trust Deed) may be insufficient to
pay all amounts due to the Noteholders. Save in certain limited
circumstances, the other assets of the Issuer will not be available for
payment of any shortfall arising and all claims in respect of such
shortfall shall be extinguished. None of the Servicer, the Trust Manager,
the Note Trustee, the Security Trustee, the Swap Providers, the Paying
Agents, the Calculation Agent, the Note Registrar or the Note Managers (as
defined in the Series Notice) has any obligation to any Noteholder for
payment of any amount by the Issuer in respect of the Notes.
The Note Trust Deed contains provisions requiring the Note Trustee to have
regard to the interests of the Class A Noteholders as regards all the
powers, trusts, authorities, duties and discretions of the Note Trustee
(except where expressly provided otherwise).
The Security Trust Deed contains provisions requiring the Security Trustee,
subject to the other provisions of the Security Trust Deed, (a) to give
priority to the interests of the Redraw Noteholders and the Class A
Noteholders if there is a conflict between the interests of such
Noteholders and the Class AB Noteholders and the Class B Noteholders, (b)
to give priority to the interests of the Class AB Noteholders if there is a
conflict between the interests of such Noteholders and the Class B
Noteholders and (c) to give priority to the interests of the Redraw
Noteholders, the Class A Noteholders, the Class AB Noteholders and the
Class B Noteholders if there is a conflict between the interests of such
Noteholders and any other Voting Mortgagee. If there is a conflict between
the interests of the Redraw Noteholders and the Class A Noteholders, the
Security Trustee must convene a meeting of the Redraw Noteholders and the
Class A Noteholders to resolve that conflict. An Extraordinary Resolution
of the Redraw Noteholders and the Class A Noteholders in respect of the
conflict is binding on all the Class A Noteholders.
3. CONDITION 3. COVENANTS OF THE ISSUER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
So long as any of the Notes remains outstanding, the Issuer makes certain
covenants for the benefit of the Noteholders which are set out in the
Master Trust Deed.
These covenants include the following.
(a) The Issuer must act continuously as trustee of the Trust until the
Trust is terminated as provided by the Master Trust Deed or the Issuer
has retired or been removed from office in the manner provided under
the Master Trust Deed.
(b) The Issuer must:
(i) act honestly and in good faith in the performance of its duties
and in the exercise of its discretions under the Master Trust

(ii) subject to the Master Trust Deed, exercise such diligence and

performing its express functions and in exercising its
discretions under the Master Trust Deed, having regard to the
interests of the Noteholders and other creditors and
beneficiaries of the Trust;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(iii) use its best endeavours to carry on and conduct its business in
so far as it relates to the Master Trust Deed in a proper and
efficient manner;
(iv) keep, or ensure that the Trust Manager keeps, accounting records
which correctly record and explain all amounts paid and received

(v) keep the Trust separate from each other trust which is

trusts constituted under the Master Trust Deed;
(vi) do everything and take all such actions which are necessary
(including obtaining all appropriate authorisations) to ensure
that it is able to exercise all its powers and remedies and

Transaction Documents and all other deeds, agreements and other
arrangements entered into by the Issuer under the Master Trust
Deed; and
(vii) comply with the rules and regulations of any Stock Exchange on
which any Note is listed from time to time.
(c) Except as provided in any Transaction Document (and other than the

encumber or part with possession of any asset of the Trust (the TRUST
ASSETS).
(d) The Issuer will open and operate certain bank accounts in accordance
with the Master Trust Deed and the Series Notice.
(e) Subject to the Master Trust Deed and any Transaction Document to which
it is a party, the Issuer must act on all directions given to it by
the Trust Manager in accordance with the terms of the Master Trust
Deed.
(f) The Issuer must properly perform the functions which are necessary for
it to perform under all Transaction Documents in respect of the Trust.
4. CONDITION 4. INTEREST
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) PAYMENT DATES
Each Class A Note bears interest on its Principal Amount from and
including 4 May 2005 or such later date as may be agreed between the
Issuer and the Note Managers for the issue of the Class A Notes (the
ISSUE DATE). Interest in respect of the Class A Notes will be payable
quarterly in arrears, on the 8th day of each March, June, September
and December, provided that, if any such date would otherwise fall on
a day which is not a Business Day (as defined below), it will be
postponed to the next day which is a Business Day (as defined below),
unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the
due date will be the preceding Business Day (each such date a PAYMENT
DATE). The first Payment Date will be in 8 June 2005. The final
Payment Date will be the earlier of the Payment Date falling in
December 2036 (the MATURITY DATE) and the Payment Date on which the
Notes are redeemed in accordance with their terms.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 71
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BUSINESS DAY in this Condition 4 and in Conditions 5, 6 and 9 below
means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday on which
banks are open for business in London, New York City, Melbourne and
Sydney.
The period beginning on (and including) the Issue Date and ending on
(but excluding) the first Payment Date, and each successive period
beginning on (and including) a Payment Date and ending on (but
excluding) the next Payment Date and the final period referred to
below is called an INTEREST PERIOD FOR THE CLASS A NOTES. Interest
payable on a Class A Note in respect of any relevant Interest Period
or any other period will be calculated on the basis of the actual
number of days elapsed and a 360 day year.
The final Interest Period for a Class A Note begins on (and includes)
the Payment Date prior to the earlier of the Maturity Date and the
date on which that Class A Note is redeemed in accordance with its
terms and ends on (but excludes) the earlier of the Maturity Date and
the date on which that Class A Note is so redeemed (as the case may
be).
(B) INTEREST RATE
The rate of interest applicable from time to time to a Class A Note
(the INTEREST RATE) will be determined by the Calculation Agent on the
basis of the following paragraphs.
On the date which is 2 Business Days before the beginning of each
Interest Period for the Class A Notes (each a RATE RESET DATE), the
Calculation Agent will determine LIBOR for that Interest Period, which
is [(other than for the first Interest Period)] the rate applicable
for deposits in US dollars for a period of 3 months which appears on
the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11.00am London time on that Rate Reset
Date [and, for the first Interest Period, is the linear interpolation
of the rates applicable for deposits in US dollars for 3 and 4 months
which appear on the Telerate Page 3750 as of 11.00am London time on
that Rate Reset Date]. If such rate does not appear on the Telerate
Page 3750, the rate for that Interest Period will be determined as if
the Issuer and the Calculation Agent had specified the rate
USD-LIBOR-REFERENCE BANKS as the applicable Floating Rate Option under
the Definitions of the International Swaps and Derivatives
Association, Inc. (ISDA) incorporating the 2000 ISDA Definitions, as
amended and updated as at the Issue Date (the ISDA DEFINITIONS).
"USD-LIBOR-REFERENCE BANKS" means that the rate for an Interest Period
for the Class A Notes will be determined on the basis of the rates at
which deposits in US dollars are offered by the Reference Banks (being
four major banks in the London interbank market agreed to by the
Calculation Agent and the Class A Currency Swap Provider) at
approximately 11.00 am, London time, on the Rate Reset Date to prime
banks in the London interbank market for a period of 3 months [(or 3
and 4 months, as the case may be)] commencing on the first day of that
Interest Period and in a Representative Amount (as defined in the ISDA
Definitions). The Calculation Agent will request the principal London
office of each of the Reference Banks to provide a quotation of its
rate. If at least two such quotations are provided, the rate for that
Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the quotations. If
fewer than two quotations are provided as requested, the rate for that
Interest Period will be the arithmetic mean of the rates quoted by
four major banks in New York City, selected by the Calculation Agent
and the Class A Currency Swap Provider, at approximately 11.00 am, New
York City time, on that Rate Reset Date for loans in US dollars to
leading European banks for a period of 3 months [(or
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 72
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3 and 4 months, as the case may be)] commencing on the first day of
that Interest Period and in a Representative Xxxxxx. If no such rates
are available in New York City, then the rate for such Interest Period
will be the most recently determined rate in accordance with this
paragraph.
In this definition of LIBOR, BUSINESS DAY means any day on which
commercial banks are open for business (including dealings in foreign
exchange and foreign currency deposits) in London and New York City.
The Interest Rate applicable to the Class A Notes for such Interest
Period will be the aggregate of the interest rate or arithmetic mean
as determined by the Calculation Agent as referred to above and the
margin of [*]% per annum applicable to the Class A Notes. If the
Issuer has not redeemed all of the Class A Notes on or before the
Payment Date falling in March 2010, the margin applicable to the Class
A Notes will increase to [*]% per annum for the period from (and
including) that date.
There is no maximum or minimum Interest Rate for the Class A Notes.
(c) DETERMINATION OF INTEREST RATE AND CALCULATION OF INTEREST
The Calculation Agent will, as soon as practicable after 11.00 am
(London time) on each Rate Reset Date determine the relevant Interest
Rate applicable to, and calculate the amount of interest payable (the
INTEREST) for the immediately succeeding Interest Period for the Class
A Notes. The Interest for each Interest Period and the Class A Notes
is calculated by applying the Interest Rate for the relevant Class of
Class A Notes to the Principal Amount of the relevant Class A Note on
the first day of that Interest Period, multiplying such product by the
actual number of days in that Interest Period and dividing by 360 and
rounding the resultant figure down to the nearest cent. The
determination of the Interest Rate and the Interest for each Class A
Note by the Calculation Agent is (in the absence of manifest error)
final and binding upon all parties.
(d) NOTIFICATION AND PUBLICATION OF INTEREST RATE AND INTEREST
The Calculation Agent will cause the Interest Rate and the Interest
applicable to each Class A Note for each Interest Period and the
relevant Payment Date to be notified to the Issuer, the Trust Manager,
the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Class A Currency Swap
Provider, the Irish Stock Exchange (for so long as the Class A Notes
are listed on the Irish Stock Exchange) and the Trust Manager on
behalf of the Issuer will cause the same to be published in accordance
with Condition 12 on or as soon as possible after the date of
commencement of the relevant Interest Period. The Interest and the
relevant Payment Date so published may subsequently be amended (or
appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment)
without notice in the event of an amendment of the Interest Period.
(e) DETERMINATION OR CALCULATION BY THE TRUST MANAGER
If the Calculation Agent at any time for any reason does not determine
the Interest Rate for or calculate the Interest payable on a Class A
Note, the Trust Manager must do so and each such determination or
calculation will be deemed to have been made by the Calculation Agent.
In doing so, the Trust Manager must apply the foregoing provisions of
this Condition, with any necessary consequential amendments, to the
extent that it can do so,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 73
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
and, in all other respects it must do so in such a manner as it
reasonably considers to be fair and reasonable in all the
circumstances.
(f) CALCULATION AGENT
The Issuer will procure that, so long as any of the Class A Notes
remain outstanding, there will at all times be a Calculation Agent.
The Issuer, or the Trust Manager with the consent of the Issuer (such
consent not to be unreasonably withheld), with the prior written
approval of the Note Trustee, reserves the right at any time to
terminate the appointment of the Calculation Agent immediately on the
occurrence of certain specified events or, otherwise, by giving not
less than 60 days notice in writing to, among others, the Calculation
Agent. Notice of that termination will be given to the Class A
Noteholders in accordance with Condition 12. If any person is unable
or unwilling to continue to act as the Calculation Agent, or if the
appointment of the Calculation Agent is terminated, the Issuer will,
with the prior written approval of the Note Trustee, appoint a
successor Calculation Agent to act as such in its place, provided that
neither the resignation nor removal of the Calculation Agent will take
effect until a successor approved by the Note Trustee has been
appointed.
(g) INCOME DISTRIBUTION

the Series Notice unless otherwise defined in these Conditions.

Principal Amount of all Notes of that Class;
(iv) In the event that:
(A) the Issuer receives a payment under Condition 4(g)(i)(C) or
4(g)(v) for Expenses which the Issuer reasonably anticipates
will be incurred prior to the next Payment Date; and
(B) all or any part of such Expenses are not actually incurred
prior to that next Payment Date,
then the following provisions apply:

upon being so directed by the Trust Manager in its absolute discretion
and subject to the Trust Manager certifying to the Issuer that:
(i) the Redraw to be provided to the Obligor together with any
previous Redraws (if any) provided to the Obligor will not exceed
the amount of any Additional Repayments previously made by that
Obligor;
(ii) after allowing for all payments which the Issuer is then required
to make or which the Trust Manager reasonably expects that the
Issuer will be required to make, there is or will be sufficient
cash in the assets of the Trust (whether as a result of the issue
of Redraw Notes or otherwise) for the Issuer to provide that
Redraw; and
(iii) the Loan is not in Arrears at the time of the request for the
Redraw by the Obligor.
The Trust Manager may direct the Issuer to, and the Issuer must, apply
certain Mortgage Principal Repayments for funding Redraws.
If, on a Payment Date, Mortgage Principal Repayments for the
Collection Period preceding that Payment Date are insufficient to fund
Redraws for that Collection Period, then the Trust Manager may give
the Issuer a direction to issue a series of Redraw Notes in accordance
with clause 12 of the Master Trust Deed and clause 5 of the Series
Notice. The Trust Manager must not give such a direction unless it has
received written confirmation from each Designated Rating Agency that
the issue of the Redraw Notes would not result in a downgrade or
withdrawal of a rating of any Note then outstanding.

availability has been duly given in accordance with Condition 12.
7. CONDITION 7. TAXATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
All payments in respect of the Class A Notes will be made without
withholding or deduction for, or on account of, any present or future
taxes, duties or charges of whatsoever nature unless the Issuer or any
Paying Agent is required by applicable law to make any such payment in
respect of the Class A Notes subject to any withholding or deduction for,
or on account of, any present or future taxes, duties or charges of
whatever nature. In that event the Issuer or that Paying Agent (as the case
may be) must make such payment after such withholding or deduction has been
made and must account to the relevant authorities for the amount so
required to be withheld or deducted. Neither the Issuer nor any Paying
Agent will be obliged to make any additional payments to Class A
Noteholders in respect of that withholding or deduction.
8. CONDITION 8. PRESCRIPTION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Class A Note will become void in its entirety unless surrendered for
payment within ten years of the Relevant Date (as defined below) in respect
of any payment on it the effect of which would be to reduce the relevant
Principal Amount of that Class A Note to zero. After the date on which a
Class A Note becomes void in its entirety, no claim may be made in respect
of it.
As used in these Conditions, the RELEVANT DATE means the date on which a
payment first becomes due but, if the full amount of the money payable has
not been received in New York City by the Principal Paying Agent or the
Note Trustee on or prior to that date, it means the date on which, the
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 88
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
full amount of such money having been so received, notice to that effect is
duly given by the Principal Paying Agent in accordance with Condition 12.
9. CONDITION 9. EVENTS OF DEFAULT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the following is an EVENT OF DEFAULT (whether or not it is within
the control of the Issuer).
(a) The Issuer fails to pay:
(i) any Interest within 10 Business Days of the Payment Date on which
the Interest was due to be paid, together with all interest
accrued and payable on that Interest; and
(ii) any other moneys secured by the Security Trust Deed, within 10
Business Days of the due date for payment (or within any
applicable grace period agreed with the Mortgagee (as defined in
the Security Trust Deed) to whom the moneys relate).
However, it will not be an Event of Default if the Issuer fails
to pay any moneys secured by the Security Trust Deed:
(A) which are subordinated to payment of amounts due to Redraw
Noteholders and Class A Noteholders while any moneys secured
by the Security Trust Deed remain owing:
(1) to Redraw Noteholders and Class A Noteholders; or
(2) which rank in priority to amounts due to Redraw
Noteholders and Class A Noteholders; or
(B) which are subordinated to payment of amounts due to Class AB
Noteholders while any moneys secured by the Security Trust
Deed remain owing:
(1) to Class AB Noteholders; or
(2) which rank in priority to amounts due to Class AB
Noteholders; or
(C) where the Issuer had sufficient available funds with its
bankers with which any bank accounts of the Trust are held
and had given instructions to those bankers to make that
payment, and that the payment would have been made but for
temporary technical or administrative difficulties outside
the control of the Issuer.
(b) The Issuer fails to perform or observe any other provisions (other
than an obligation referred to in paragraph (a)) of a Transaction
Document (including any representation, warranty or undertaking) and
that default (if in the opinion of the Security Trustee is capable of
remedy) is not remedied within 30 days after written notice (or such
longer period as may be specified in the notice) from the Security
Trustee requiring the failure to be remedied.
(c) Any of the following occurs in relation to the Issuer (in its capacity
as trustee of the Trust):
(i) an administrator of the Issuer is appointed;
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(ii) except for the purpose of a solvent reconstruction or
amalgamation:
(A) an application or an order is made, proceedings are
commenced, a resolution is passed or proposed in a notice of

than frivolous or vexatious applications, proceedings,
notices and steps) are taken for:
(1) the winding up, dissolution or administration of the
Issuer; or
(2) the Issuer entering into an arrangement, compromise or
composition with or assignment for the benefit of its
creditors or a class of them; or
(B) the Issuer ceases, suspends or threatens to cease or suspend
the conduct of all or substantially all of its business or
disposes of or threatens to dispose of substantially all of
its assets;
(iii) the Issuer is or states that it is, or under applicable
legislation is taken to be, unable to pay its debts (other than
as the result of a failure to pay a debt or claim the subject of
a good faith dispute) or stops or suspends or threatens to stop
or suspend payment of all or a class of its debts (except, where
this occurs only in relation to another trust of which it is the
trustee) and, for the avoidance of doubt, an inability of the
Issuer in its capacity as trustee of the Trust to pay its debts
does not include the Issuer making any drawings under a Support
Facility in accordance with the Transaction Documents;
(iv) a receiver, receiver and manager or administrator is appointed
(by the Issuer or by any other person) to all or substantially
all of the assets and undertaking of the Issuer;
(v) an application is made to a court for an order appointing a
liquidator or provisional liquidator in respect of the Issuer, or
one of them is appointed, whether or not under an order;
(vi) as a result of the operation of section 459F(1) of the
Corporations Act, the Issuer is taken to have failed to comply
with a statutory demand;
(vii) the Issuer is or makes a statement from which it may be
reasonably deduced that the Issuer is, the subject of an event
described in section 459C(2)(b) or section 585 of the
Corporations Act;
(viii) the Issuer takes any step to obtain protection or is granted
protection from its creditors, under any applicable legislation;
or
(ix) anything analogous to an event referred to in sub-paragraphs (i)
to (viii) (inclusive) or having substantially similar effect
occurs with respect to the Issuer.
(d) The charge created by the Security Trust Deed is not or ceases to be a
first ranking charge over the assets of the Trust, or any other
obligation of the Issuer (other than as mandatorily preferred by law)
ranks ahead of or pari passu with any of the moneys secured by the
Security Trust Deed.
(e) Any security interest over the assets of the Trust is enforced.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 90
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(f) (i) For so long as any Secured Moneys are owing to the Redraw
Noteholders and the Class A Noteholders, an Interest Rate Swap or
Class A Currency Swap is terminated and a replacement Interest
Rate Swap or Class A Currency Swap (as the case may be) on terms
that will not lead to a withdrawal or downgrade of the rating
assigned to any Notes, is not put in place; or
(ii) for so long as no Secured Moneys are owing to the Redraw
Noteholders and the Class A Noteholders, an Interest Rate Swap is
terminated and a replacement Interest Rate Swap on terms that
will not lead to a withdrawal or downgrade of the rating assigned
to any Notes, is not put in place; or
(iii) for so long as no Secured Moneys are owing to the Redraw
Noteholders, the Class A Noteholders or the Class AB Noteholders,
an Interest Rate Swap is terminated and a replacement Interest
Rate Swap on terms that will not lead to a withdrawal or
downgrade of the rating assigned to any Notes, is not put in
place.
(g) (i) All or any part of any Transaction Document (other than an
Interest Rate Swap or the Class A Currency Swap) is terminated or
is or becomes void, illegal, invalid, unenforceable or of limited
force and effect; or
(ii) a party becomes entitled to terminate, rescind or avoid all or
part of any Transaction Document (other than an Interest Rate
Swap or the Class A Currency Swap).
(h) Without the prior consent of the Security Trustee:
(i) the Trust is wound up, or the Issuer is required to wind up the
Trust under the Master Trust Deed or applicable law, or the
winding up of the Trust commences;
(ii) the Trust is held or is conceded by the Issuer not to have been
constituted or to have been imperfectly constituted; or
(iii) unless another trustee is appointed to the Trust under the
Transaction Documents, the Issuer ceases to be authorised under
the Trust to hold the property of the Trust in its name and to
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
In the event that the charge constituted by the Security Trust Deed becomes
enforceable following an event of default under the Notes any funds
resulting from the realisation of such charge will be applied in accordance
with the order of priority of payments as stated in the Security Trust
Deed.
10. CONDITION 10. ENFORCEMENT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) At any time after an Event of Default occurs, the Security Trustee
must (subject to being appropriately indemnified), if so directed by
an Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting Mortgagees (being 75% of
votes capable of being cast by Voting Mortgagees present in person or
by proxy of the relevant meeting or a written resolution signed by all
Voting Mortgagees) declare the Notes immediately due and payable and
declare the charge to be enforceable. If an Extraordinary Resolution
of Voting Mortgagees referred to above elects not to direct the
Security Trustee to enforce the Security Trust Deed, in circumstances
where the Security Trustee could enforce, the Note Trustee must, at
the direction of the Class A Noteholders (by an Extraordinary
Resolution of those Class A Noteholders (as
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 91
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
defined in the Note Trust Deed) or in writing by the holders of at
least 75% of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Class A Notes),
direct the Security Trustee to enforce the Security Trust Deed on
behalf of the Class A Noteholders.
VOTING MORTGAGEE means:
(i) with respect only to the enforcement of the charge under the
Security Trust Deed, for so long as the amounts outstanding under
the Redraw Notes, the Class A Notes and the Class AB Notes are
75% or more of all amounts secured by the Security Trust Deed,
the Redraw Noteholders, the Class A Noteholders and the Class AB
Noteholders (being, in the case of the Class A Noteholders and
the Class AB Noteholders, the Note Trustee or, if the Note
Trustee has become bound to take steps and/or to proceed under
the Security Trust Deed and fails to do so within a reasonable
time and such failure is continuing, the Class A Noteholders and
the Class AB Noteholders and then only if and to the extent that
the Class A Noteholders and the Class AB Noteholders are able to
do so under the Transaction Documents); and
(ii) at any other time (subject to the Note Trust Deed and the
Security Trust Deed):
(A) the Note Trustee acting on behalf of the Class A Noteholders
or, if the Note Trustee has become bound to take steps
and/or to proceed under the Security Trust Deed and fails to
do so within a reasonable time and such failure is
continuing, the Class A Noteholders and then only if and to
the extent that the Class A Noteholders are able to do so
under the Transaction Documents and Australian law); and
(B) each other Mortgagee under the Security Trust Deed (other
than the Class A Noteholders).
Subject to being indemnified in accordance with the Security
Trust Deed, the Security Trustee must take all action necessary
to give effect to any Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting
Mortgagees and must comply with all directions contained in or
given pursuant to any Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting
Mortgagees in accordance with the Security Trust Deed.
No Noteholder (in its capacity as Noteholder) is entitled to
enforce the Security Trust Deed or to appoint or cause to be
appointed a receiver to any of the assets secured by the Security
Trust Deed or otherwise to exercise any power conferred by the
terms of any applicable law on chargees except as provided in the
Security Trust Deed and as referred to in (A) above.
(b) If any of the Class A Notes remain outstanding and are due and payable
otherwise than by reason of a default in payment of any amount due on
the Class A Notes, the Note Trustee must not vote under the Security
Trust Deed to enforce the Security Trust Deed or dispose of the
property mortgaged or charged by the Security Trust Deed or any
security interest in favour of the Security Trustee securing the
Secured Moneys (the MORTGAGED PROPERTY) unless either:
(i) the Note Trustee is of the opinion, reached after considering at
any time and from time to time the advice of a merchant bank or
other financial advisor selected by
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 92
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
the Note Trustee, that a sufficient amount would be realised to
discharge in full all amounts owing to the Class A Noteholders
and any other amounts payable by the Issuer ranking in priority
to or pari passu with the Class A Notes; or
(ii) the Note Trustee is of the opinion, reached after considering at
any time and from time to time the advice of a merchant bank or
other financial advisor selected by the Note Trustee, that the
cash flow receivable by the Issuer (or the Security Trustee under
the Security Trust Deed) will not (or that there is a significant
risk that it will not) be sufficient, having regard to any other
relevant actual, contingent or prospective liabilities of the
Issuer, to discharge in full in due course all the amounts
referred to in sub-paragraph (i).
(c) Neither the Note Trustee (except in the case of negligence, fraud or
wilful default by it) nor the Security Trustee (except in the case of
negligence, fraud or wilful default by it) will be liable for any
decline in the value, nor any loss realised upon any sale or other
dispositions made under the Security Trust Deed, of any Mortgaged
Property or any other property which is charged to the Security
Trustee by any other person in respect of or relating to the
obligations of the Issuer or any third party in respect of the Issuer
or the Notes or relating in any way to the Mortgaged Property. Without
limitation, neither the Note Trustee nor the Security Trustee will be
liable for any such decline or loss directly or indirectly arising
from its acting, or failing to act, as a consequence of a reasonable
opinion reached by it in good faith based on advice received by it in
accordance with the Note Trust Deed or the Security Trust Deed, as the
case may be.
(d) Subject to the provisions of the Note Trust Deed, the Note Trustee
will not be bound to vote under the Security Trust Deed or to take any
proceedings, actions or steps under, or any other proceedings pursuant
to or in connection with the Security Trust Deed, the Note Trust Deed
or any Class A Notes, unless directed or requested to do so: (i) by an
Extraordinary Resolution of the Class A Noteholders; or (ii) in
writing by the holders of at least three-quarters of the aggregate
Principal Amount of the Class ANotes, and then only if the Note
Trustee is indemnified to its satisfaction against all action,
proceedings, claims and demands to which it may render itself liable
and all costs, charges, damages and expenses which it may incur by so
doing. (e) Only the Security Trustee may enforce the provisions of the
Security Trust Deed and neither the Note Trustee nor any holder of a
Class A Note is entitled to proceed directly against the Issuer to
enforce the performance of any of the provisions of the Security Trust
Deed or the Class A Notes (including these Conditions) except as
provided for in the Security Trust Deed and the Note Trust Deed.
(f) The rights, remedies and discretions of the Class A Noteholders under
the Security Trust Deed including all rights to vote or give
instructions or consent can only be exercised by the Note Trustee on
behalf of the Class A Noteholders in accordance with the Security
Trust Deed. The Security Trustee may rely on any instructions or
directions given to it by the Note Trustee as being given on behalf of
the Class A Noteholders from time to time and need not enquire whether
the Note Trustee or the Class A Noteholders from time to time have
complied with any requirements under the Note Trust Deed or as to the
reasonableness or otherwise of the Note Trustee. The Security Trustee
is not obliged to take
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 93
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
any action, give any consent or waiver or make any determination under
the Security Trust Deed without being directed to do so by the Voting
Mortgagees in accordance with the Security Trust Deed.
(g) Prior to the Security Trustee becoming actually aware of the
occurrence of an Event of Default and provided that it has been
indemnified in accordance with the Security Trust Deed, the Security
Trustee may enforce the Security Trust Deed without an Extraordinary
Resolution of the Voting Mortgagees if it believes (in its absolute
discretion) that it is necessary to do so to protect the interests of
the Mortgagees (provided that it must enforce the Security Trust Deed
if so directed by an Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting
Mortgagees).
Upon enforcement of the charge created by the Security Trust Deed, the net
proceeds of enforcement may be insufficient to pay all amounts due on
redemption of the Notes. The proceeds from enforcement (which will not
include amounts required by law to be paid to the holder of any prior
ranking security interest, and the proceeds of cash collateral lodged with
and payable to a Swap Provider or other provider of a Support Facility)
will be applied in the order of priority as set out in the Security Trust
Deed. Any claims of the Noteholders remaining after realisation of the
charge and application of the proceeds will, except in certain limited
circumstances, be extinguished.
11. CONDITION 11. REPLACEMENT OF CLASS A NOTES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If any Class A Note is lost, stolen, mutilated, defaced or destroyed, it
may be replaced at the specified office of any Paying Agent upon payment by
the claimant of the costs incurred in connection with that replacement and
on such terms as to evidence and indemnity as the Paying Agent may
reasonably require. Mutilated or defaced Class A Notes must be surrendered
before replacements will be issued.
12. CONDITION 12. NOTICES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) Where the Note Trust Deed or these Conditions provide for notice to
Class A Noteholders of any event, such notice shall be sufficiently
given (unless otherwise provided by law or otherwise herein expressly
provided) if:
(i) for so long as the Class A Notes are listed on the Irish Stock
Exchange and the Irish Stock Exchange so requires) if a copy is
delivered to the Company Announcement Office of the Irish Stock
Exchange and if a copy of such notice is made available at the
registered office of the Irish paying Agent at Guild House, Guild
Street, Dublin 1, Republic of Ireland; or
(ii) in relation to any notice specifying a Payment Date, an Interest
Rate, any Interest payable, any Principal Payment (or the absence
of a Principal Payment) or the Principal Amount of any Class A
Note after any Principal Payment, that notice is published on a
page of the Reuters Screen or the electronic information system
made available by Bloomberg L.P. or any other similar electronic
reporting service as may be approved by the Note Trustee in
writing and notified to the Class A Noteholders.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 94
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Such notice will be deemed to be given on the first date on which
it appears on the relevant electronic reporting service.
(b) If, for any reason, it is impractical to give notice in the manner
provided in paragraph (ii) of Condition 12(a), then the manner of
giving notice referred to in paragraph (i) of Condition 12(a) shall be
deemed to be a sufficient giving of notice.
(c) Where these conditions provide for notice in any manner, such notice
may be waived in writing by any person entitled to receive such
notice, either before or after the event, and such waiver shall be the
equivalent of such notice. Waivers of notice by Class A Noteholders
shall be filed with the Note Trustee but such filing shall not be a
condition precedent to the validity of any action taken in reliance
upon such a waiver.
13. CONDITION 13. MEETINGS OF VOTING MORTGAGEES AND MEETINGS OF CLASS A
NOTEHOLDERS; MODIFICATIONS; CONSENTS; WAIVER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Security Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of the
Voting Mortgagees to, among other things, enable the Voting Mortgagees to
direct or consent to the Security Trustee taking or not taking certain
actions under the Security Trust Deed, for example to enable the Voting
Mortgagees to direct the Security Trustee to enforce the Security Trust
Deed.
The Note Trust Deed contains provisions for convening meetings of (among
others) Class A Noteholders to consider any matter affecting their
interests, including the directing of the Note Trustee to direct the
Security Trustee to enforce the charge under the Security Trust Deed, or
the sanctioning by Extraordinary Resolution of Class A Noteholders of a
modification of the Class A Notes (including these Conditions) or the
provisions of any of the Relevant Documents, provided that no modification
of certain terms including, among other things, the date of maturity of any
Class A Notes, or a modification which would have the effect of altering
the amount of interest payable in respect of a Class A Note or modification
of the method of calculation of the interest payable or of the date for
payment of interest in respect of any Class A Notes, reducing or cancelling
the amount of principal payable in respect of any Class A Notes or altering
the majority required to pass an Extraordinary Resolution or altering the
currency of payment of any Class A Notes or an alteration of the date or
priority of payment of interest on, or redemption of, any Class A Notes
(any such modification being referred to below as a BASIC TERMS
MODIFICATION) will be effective except that, if the Note Trustee is of the
opinion that such a Basic Terms Modification is being proposed by the
Issuer as a result of, or in order to avoid, an Event of Default, such
Basic Terms Modification may be sanctioned by Extraordinary Resolution of
the Class A Noteholders as described below. The quorum at any meeting of
Class A Noteholders for passing an Extraordinary Resolution will be two or
more persons holding or representing over 50% of the aggregate Principal
Amount of the Class A Notes then outstanding or, at any adjourned meeting,
two or more persons being or representing Class A Noteholders whatever the
aggregate Principal Amount of the Class A Notes so held or represented
except that, at any meeting the business of which includes the sanctioning
of a Basic Terms Modification, the necessary quorum for passing an
Extraordinary Resolution will be two or more persons holding or
representing 75% or at any adjourned such meeting 25%, or more of the
aggregate Principal Amount of the Class A Notes then outstanding. An
Extraordinary Resolution passed at any meeting of the Class A Noteholders
will be binding on all Class A Noteholders,
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 95
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
whether or not they are present at the meeting. The majority required for
an Extraordinary Resolution will be 75% of the votes cast in respect of
that Extraordinary Resolution.
Pursuant to the terms of the Note Trust Deed, the Note Trustee, the Trust
Manager and the Issuer may agree, without the consent of the Class A
Noteholders, among other things, to any alteration, addition or
modification to the Notes or any Transaction Document that is:
(a) to correct a manifest error or ambiguity or is of a formal, technical
or administrative nature only;
(b) in the opinion of the Note Trustee, necessary to comply with the
provisions of any law or regulation or with the requirements of any
governmental authority;
(c) in the opinion of the Note Trustee appropriate or expedient as a
consequence of an amendment to any law or regulation or altered
requirements of any governmental authority; or
(d) in the opinion of the Note Trustee neither prejudicial nor likely to
be prejudicial to the interests of the Class A Noteholders.
The Note Trustee may also, in accordance with the Note Trust Deed and
without the consent of the Class A Noteholders (but not in contravention of
an Extraordinary Resolution), waive or authorise any breach or proposed
breach of the Class A Notes (including these Conditions) or any Transaction
Document or determine that any Event of Default or any condition, event or
act which with the giving of notice and/or lapse of time and/or the issue
of a certificate would constitute an Event of Default will not, or will not
subject to specified conditions, be treated as such. Any such modification,
waiver, authorisation or determination will be binding on the Class A
Noteholders and, if, but only if, the Note Trustee so requires, any such
modification must be notified to the Class A Noteholders in accordance with
Condition 12 as soon as practicable.
14. CONDITION 14. INDEMNIFICATION AND EXONERATION OF THE NOTE TRUSTEE AND THE
SECURITY TRUSTEE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Note Trust Deed and the Security Trust Deed contain provisions for the
indemnification of the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee (respectively)
and for their relief from responsibility, including provisions relieving
them from taking proceedings to realise the charge under the Security Trust
Deed and to obtain repayment of the Class A Notes unless indemnified to
their satisfaction. Each of the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee is
entitled to enter into business transactions with the Issuer and/or any
other party to the Relevant Documents without accounting for any profit
resulting from such transactions. Except in the case of negligence, fraud
or wilful default, neither the Security Trustee nor the Note Trustee will
be responsible for any loss, expense or liability which may be suffered as
a result of any assets secured by the Security Trust Deed, other Mortgaged
Property or any related deeds or documents of title, being uninsured or
inadequately insured or being held by or to the order of the Servicer or
any of its affiliates or by clearing organisations or their operators or by
any person on its behalf if prudently chosen in accordance with the
Transaction Documents.
Where the Note Trustee is required to express an opinion or make a
determination or calculation under the Transaction Documents, the Note
Trustee may appoint or engage such independent advisors as the Note Trustee
reasonably requires to assist in the giving of that opinion or the making
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 96
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
of that determination or calculation and any costs and expenses properly
incurred by and payable to those advisors will be reimbursed to the Note
Trustee by the Issuer or, if another person is expressly stated in the
relevant provision in a Transaction Document, that person.
15. CONDITION 15. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE ISSUER
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) GENERAL
Clause 32 of the Master Trust Deed applies to the obligations and
liabilities of the Issuer in relation to the Class A Notes.
(b) LIABILITY OF ISSUER LIMITED TO ITS RIGHT OF INDEMNITY
(i) The Transaction Documents apply to the Issuer only in its
capacity as trustee of the Trust and in no other capacity. A
liability incurred by the Issuer acting in its capacity as
trustee of the Trust arising under or in connection with the
Transaction Documents or the Trust is limited to and can be
enforced against the Issuer only to the extent to which it can be
satisfied out of property of the Trust out of which the Issuer is
actually indemnified for the liability. This limitation of the
Issuer's liability applies despite any other provision of the
Transaction Documents and extends to all liabilities and
obligations of the Issuer in any way connected with any
representation, warranty, conduct, omission, agreement or
transaction related to the Transaction Documents or the Trust.
(ii) The parties other than the Issuer may not sue the Issuer in any
capacity other than as trustee of the Trust or seek the
appointment of a receiver (except in relation to the assets of
the Trust), liquidator, administrator or similar person to the
Issuer or prove in any liquidation, administration or
arrangements of or affecting the Issuer (except in relation to
the assets of the Trust).
(iii) The provisions of this Condition 15 do not apply to any
obligation or liability of the Issuer to the extent that it is
not satisfied because under a Transaction Document or by
operation of law there is a reduction in the extent of the
Issuer's indemnification out of the Assets of the Trust as a
result of the Issuer's fraud, negligence, or wilful default.
(iv) It is acknowledged that the Relevant Parties are responsible
under the Transaction Documents for performing a variety of
obligations relating to the Trust. No act or omission of the
Issuer (including any related failure to satisfy its obligations
or breach of representation or warranty under the Transaction
Documents) will be considered fraud, negligence or wilful default
of the Issuer for the purpose of paragraph (iii) of this
Condition 15 to the extent to which the act or omission was
caused or contributed to by any failure by any Relevant Party
(other than a person whose acts or omissions the Issuer is liable
for in accordance with the Transaction Documents) to fulfil its
obligations relating to the Trust or by any other act or omission
of any Relevant Party (other than a person whose acts or
omissions the Issuer is liable for in accordance with the
Transaction Documents) regardless of whether or not that act or
omission is purported to be done on behalf of the Issuer.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 97
Note Trust Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxxxxx
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(v) No attorney, agent, receiver or receiver and manager appointed in
accordance with a Transaction Document has authority to act on
behalf of the Issuer in a way which exposes the Issuer to any
personal liability and no act or omission of any such person will
be considered fraud, negligence or wilful default of the Issuer
for the purpose of paragraph (iii) of this Condition 15, provided
(in the case of any person selected and appointed by the Issuer)
that the Issuer has exercised reasonable care in the selection of
such persons.
(vi) In this Condition 15(b), RELEVANT PARTY means each of the Trust
Manager, the Servicer, the Calculation Agent, each Paying Agent,
the Note Registrar, the Approved Seller, the Note Trustee and any
Support Facility Provider.
16. CONDITION 16. GOVERNING LAW
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Class A Notes and the Relevant Documents are governed by, and shall be
construed in accordance with, the laws of New South Wales, Australia. The
Note Trust Deed is governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia
except for clauses 13 and 34 of the Note Trust Deed, its standard of care
under clause 14 of the Note Trust Deed and the administration of the trust
constituted under the Note Trust Deed which are governed by the law of the
State of New York.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE CLASS A NOTES WHILE IN GLOBAL FORM
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Each of the Class A Notes will initially be represented by typewritten
book-entry notes (the GLOBAL NOTES), without coupons, in the principal amount of
US$[1,000,000,000]. The Global Notes will be deposited with the Common
Depository for DTC on or about the Closing Date. Upon deposit of the Global
Notes with the Common Depository, DTC will credit each investor in the Class A
Notes with a principal amount of Class A Notes for which it has subscribed and
paid.
Each Global Note will be exchangeable for definitive Notes in certain
circumstances described below.
(a) PAYMENTS
Interest and principal on each Global Note will be payable by the each Paying
Agent to the Common Depository.
Each of the persons appearing from time to time as the beneficial owner of a
Class A Note will be entitled to receive any payment so made in respect of that
Class A Note in accordance with the respective rules and procedures of DTC. Such
persons will have no claim directly against the Issuer in respect of payments
due on the Class A Notes which must be made by the Issuer to the holder of the
relevant Global Note for so long as such Global Note is outstanding.
A record of each payment made on a Global Note, distinguishing between any
payment of principal and any payment of interest, will be recorded in the Note
Register by the Note Registrar and such record shall be prima facie evidence
that the payment in question has been made.
(b) EXCHANGE
A Global Note will be exchangeable for Definitive Notes only if:
(i) the Principal Paying Agent advises the Trust Manager in writing that
DTC is no longer willing or able to discharge properly its

Principal Paying Agent in writing that it has elected to terminate the
book-entry system through DTC; or
