The Issuer and the Manager each severally covenants in favour of each Agent that it will, following a request by an Agent, promptly provide to that Agent, as that Agent may reasonably require to enable it to perform its duties and functions under this Agreement, such information, forms and other documents that are in the possession of the Issuer or the Manager, as the case may be, or which it is otherwise entitled to obtain from any person.

12.10

Notices

A copy of all communications relating to the subject matter of this Agreement between the Issuer, the Manager, the US$ Note Trustee or the US$ Noteholders and any of the Paying Agents (other than the Principal Paying Agent) shall be sent to the Principal Paying Agent by the relevant Paying Agent.

12.11

Liability of Principal Paying Agent or Paying Agent

Neither the Principal Paying Agent nor any other Paying Agent will be liable if it is unable to carry out its duties and obligations due to any breach of any person (other than that Principal Paying Agent or Paying Agent) of its obligations under this Agreement or any other Transaction Document or any failure of receipt of any necessary instructions, notices, documents or information from any party or any situation not within its control. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Agent will only be liable to the Issuer for the Issuer’s direct damage when caused by that Agent’s fraud, negligence or wilful misconduct.

12.12

Confidentiality

Each Agent will treat information relating to the Issuer as confidential, but (unless consent is prohibited by law) the Issuer consents to the transfer and disclosure by the Agent of any information relating to the Issuer to and between branches, subsidiaries, representative offices, affiliates and agents of each Agent and third party auditors or legal counsel selected by any of them, to the extent that such recipients need to know the information, wherever situated, for confidential use (including in connection with the provision of any service and for data processing, statistical and risk analysis purposes) provided that any of such recipients of the information also agree to be subject to the same duty of confidentiality as provided herein. Each Agent and any branch, subsidiary, representative office, affiliate, agent or third party may transfer and disclose any such information as required by any law, court regulator or legal process.

12.13

Conflicts of interest

The Issuer hereby irrevocably waives, in favour of the Agents, any conflict of interest which may arise by virtue of each Agent acting under this Agreement or for other customers of such Agent. The Issuer acknowledges that the Agents and their respective affiliates may have interests in, or may be providing or may in the future provide financial or other services to other parties with interests which the Issuer may regard as conflicting with its interests and may possess information (whether or not material to the Issuer), other than as a result of the Agents acting hereunder, that such Agent may not be entitled to share with the Issuer. None of the Agents will use (without the Issuer’s consent) confidential information obtained from the Issuer to any of the Agents’ other customers nor will any Agent use confidential information to the Issuer which such Agent has obtained from any of its other customers. Without prejudice to the foregoing, the Issuer agrees that the Agents and their

respective affiliates may deal in (whether for their own or their respective customers’ accounts) or advise on securities of any party and that such dealing or advising, will not constitute a conflict of interest for the purposes of this Agreement.

13.

ISSUER’S LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

15.1

Limitation on Issuer’s liability

This Agreement applies to the Issuer only in its capacity as trustee of the Series Trust and in no other capacity. A liability incurred by the Issuer acting in its capacity as trustee of the Series Trust arising under or in connection with this Agreement is limited to and can be enforced against the Issuer only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out of the Assets of the Series 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 this Agreement (other than Clause 15.3) 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 this Agreement.

15.2

Claims against Issuer

The parties other than the Issuer may not sue the Issuer in respect of any liabilities incurred by the Issuer acting in its capacity as trustee of the Series Trust in any capacity other than as trustee of the Series Trust including seeking the appointment of a receiver (except in relation to the Assets of the Series Trust) a liquidator, an administrator or any similar person to the Issuer or prove in any

liquidation, administration or similar arrangements of or affecting the Issuer (except in relation to the Assets of the Series Trust).

15.3

Fraud, negligence or wilful default

The provisions of this Clause 15 will not apply to any obligation or liability of the Issuer to the extent that it is not satisfied because under the Master Trust Deed, the Series Supplement or any other Transaction Document in relation to the Series Trust or by operation of law there is a reduction in the extent of the Issuer’s indemnification out of the Assets of the Series Trust as a result of the Issuer’s fraud, negligence or wilful default and will not apply to any obligation or liability of the Issuer to pay amounts from its personal funds.

15.4

Acts or omissions

It is acknowledged that the Relevant Parties are responsible under the Transaction Documents for performing a variety of obligations relating to the Series Trust. No act or omission of the Issuer (including any related failure to satisfy its obligations or any breach of representations or warranties under this Agreement) will be considered fraudulent, negligent or a wilful default for the purposes of Clause 15.3 to the extent to which the act or omission was caused or contributed to by any failure by any Relevant Party or any other person appointed by the Issuer under any Transaction Document (other than a person whose acts or omissions the Issuer is liable for in accordance with any Transaction Document) to fulfil its obligations relating to the Series Trust or by any other act or omission of a Relevant Party or any other such person.

15.5

No authority

No Agent appointed in accordance with this Agreement 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 fraudulent, negligent or wilful default of the Issuer for the purposes of Clause 15.3.

15.6

No obligation

The Issuer is not obliged to enter into any commitment or obligation under or in relation to this Agreement or any Transaction Document (including incur any further liability) unless the Issuer’s liability is limited in a manner which is consistent with this Clause 15 or otherwise in a manner satisfactory to the Issuer in its absolute discretion.

16.

GENERAL

16.1

Waiver

A failure to exercise or enforce or a delay in exercising or enforcing or the partial exercise or enforcement of any right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement by a party will not in any way preclude or operate as a waiver of any further exercise or enforcement of such right, remedy, power or privilege of the exercise or enforcement of any other right, remedy, power or privilege under this Agreement or provided by law.

16.2

Written waiver, consent and approval and specimen signatures

(a)

(Waiver, consent and approval): Any waiver, consent or approval given by a party under this Agreement will only be effective and will only bind that party if it is given in writing, or given verbally and subsequently confirmed in writing, and executed by that party or on its behalf by two Authorised Officers of that party.

(b)

(Specimen signatures): On or prior to the date of this Agreement, the Issuer must provide to the Principal Paying Agent a certified copy of a list setting out in full the name and specimen signature of each Authorised Officer of the Issuer.

16.3

Severability

Any provision of this Agreement which is illegal, void or unenforceable in any jurisdiction is ineffective in such jurisdiction to the extent only of such illegality, voidness or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

16.4

Survival of indemnities

The indemnities contained in this Agreement are continuing, and survive the termination of this Agreement.

16.5

16.6

Successors and assigns

This Agreement is binding upon and enures to the benefit of the parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.7

Moratorium legislation

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the provisions of all statutes whether existing now or in the future operating directly or indirectly:

(To affect obligations): to lessen or otherwise to vary or affect in favour of any party any obligation under this Agreement; or

(b)

(To affect rights): to delay or otherwise prevent or prejudicially affect the exercise of any rights or remedies conferred on a party under this Agreement,

are hereby expressly waived, negatived and excluded.

16.8

Amendments

This Agreement may be amended only by written agreement between all parties to this Agreement, provided that the Manager and the Trustee may only agree to such amendment in accordance with the provisions of clause 25 of the Master Trust Deed and for this purpose references in that clause to a Series Supplement will be taken to be references to this Agreement.

16.9

Governing law

This Agreement is governed by and must be construed in accordance with the laws applying in the Australian Capital Territory.

16.10

Jurisdiction

Each party irrevocably and unconditionally:

(a)

(Submissions to jurisdiction): submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the Australian Capital Territory;

(b)

(Waiver of inconvenient forum): waives any objection it may now or in the future have to the bringing of proceedings in those courts and any claim that any proceedings have been brought in an inconvenient forum; and

(c)

(Service of notice): agrees, without preventing any other mode of service permitted by law, that any document required to be served in any proceedings may be served in the manner in which notices and other written communications may be given under Clause 14.

16.11

Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed in a number of counterparts and all such counterparts taken together will constitute one and the same instrument.

16.12

Limitation of US$ Note Trustee’s liability

Clause 8.3 of the US$ Note Trust Deed is incorporated into this Agreement as if set out in full and for this purpose references in that clause to “this Deed” and “Clause 8.3” will be taken to be references to “this Agreement” and “Clause 16.12” respectively.

16.13

Contra proferentem

Each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted without disadvantage to the party who (or whose representative) drafted that provision.

16.14

Anti-money laundering

Each party (the Information Provider) agrees to provide any information and documents reasonably required by any other party (the Information Recipient) to comply with any applicable anti-money laundering or counter-terrorism financing laws including any applicable laws imposing “know your customer” or other identification checks or procedures that the Information Recipient is required to comply with in respect of this Agreement (AML/CTF Laws), but the foregoing obligation applies only to the extent that such information and such documents are in the possession of the Information Provider or may be obtained by it after having undertaken reasonable steps and subject to any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations owed by the Information Provider to any person in relation to whom the information or documents requested relate (except, in all cases, to the extent that the foregoing may be overridden by the relevant AML/CTF Laws). Each party must comply with any AML/CTF Laws applicable to it, to the extent required to comply with its obligations under the Transaction Documents. Any party may decline to perform any obligation under the Transaction Documents to the extent it forms the view, in its reasonable opinion, that notwithstanding that it has taken all action to comply with any applicable AML/CTF Laws, it is required to decline to perform those obligations under any such AML/CTF Laws. To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party and the Noteholders and Unitholders release each other party (a Released Party) from any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations that a Released Party would otherwise owe to it in respect of this Agreement and to the extent to which it is able, any applicable confidentiality and privacy laws, but only to the extent that the existence of these obligations or laws would otherwise prevent a Released Party from providing any information or documents requested in accordance with this Clause 16.14 or any similar clause in any other Transaction Document.

16.15

Compliance with Regulation AB

(a)

In relation to each fiscal year of the Series Trust (which commences on 1 April of each calendar year) for which MLPL is required under the Exchange Act to file an annual report on Form 10-K with respect to the Series Trust, the Principal Paying Agent, the US$ Note Registrar and the Agent Bank (the Assessing Party) must prepare and deliver to each of the Issuer, MLPL, the Manager, the US$ Note Trustee and the Rating Agencies, each of the following items no later than 90 days after the end of that fiscal year:

(i)

(Assessment of compliance): as required under Rules 13a-18 and 15d-18 of the Exchange Act and Item 1122 of Regulation AB, a report regarding the Assessing Party’s assessment of compliance with the Servicing Criteria, including disclosure of any material instance of non-compliance identified by the Assessing Party. Such report must be signed by an Authorised Officer of the Assessing Party, and must be substantially in the form of Schedule 1 and address (A) each of the Servicing Criteria marked in Appendix A to Schedule 1 as “Applicable Servicing Criteria” and (B) any unmarked Servicing Criteria in Appendix A to Schedule 7, to the extent that the Assessing Party is involved in servicing activities relating to such Servicing Criteria, as mutually agreed upon by MLPL and such Assessing Party from time to time;

(ii)

(Accounting attestation report): a report of a registered public accounting firm that attests to, and reports on, the assessment of compliance report made by the Assessing Party and delivered pursuant to, Clause 16.15(a)(i). Such attestation must be in accordance with Rules 1-02(a)(3) and 2-02(g) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(iii)

(Delegate information): a written description of the role and function of each delegate appointed by the Assessing Party that performs one or more discrete functions identified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB with respect to the SMART Receivables, specifying: (A) the identity of each such delegate and which (if any) of such delegates are “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB; and (B) which elements of the Servicing Criteria will be addressed in assessments of compliance provided by each delegate identified pursuant to paragraph (A) of this Clause 16.15(a)(iii).

(b)

As a condition to the utilisation of any delegate determined to be “participating in the servicing function” within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB, the Assessing Party shall cause each such delegate, if any, to comply with Clause 16.15(a)(i) and Clause 16.15(a)(ii) as if references to the Assessing Party in those Clauses were references to such delegate, except that any assessment of compliance or accounting reports delivered by a delegate of the Assessing Party under Clause 16.15(a)(i) or Clause 16.15(a)(ii) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by the Assessing Party to such delegate pursuant to Clause 16.15(a)(iii)(B).

(c)

Each Assessing Party represents, warrants and agrees that each report required pursuant to this Clause 16.15 to be provided by the Assessing Party or any of its delegates will be accurate in all material respects and will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they are made, not misleading.

(d)

Any failure by the Assessing Party or any delegate of the Assessing Party to deliver any information, report, certification, accountant’s letter or other material when and as required

under this Clause 16.15, shall immediately and automatically, without notice or grace period, entitle the Manager, in its sole discretion:

(i)

to remove the Assessing Party or direct the Assessing Party to remove such delegate from the performance of any activities which MLPL reasonably determines to constitute “participating in the servicing function” in relation to the Issuer within the meaning of Item 1122 of Regulation AB; and

(ii)

to replace the Assessing Party or such delegate with respect to such activities;

provided that, if directed by MLPL, the Manager shall so remove and replace the Assessing Party or such delegate, as applicable; and provided, further, that to the extent that any provision of the Transaction Documents expressly provides for the survival of certain rights or obligations following termination of such party, such provision shall be given effect.

SMART ABS SERIES 2012-4 US TRUST (the Series Trust): ASSERTION OF COMPLIANCE WITH APPLICABLE SERVICING CRITERIA

Reference is made to the Agency Agreement dated 8 October 2012 in relation to the Series Trust (the Agency Agreement). Pursuant to clause 16.15 of the Agency Agreement, [l] (the Company) provides this platform-level assessment of compliance with the servicing criteria specified in Item 1122(d) of Regulation AB promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Words and phrases used but not otherwise defined in this assessment have the meanings given to them in the Agency Agreement.

Management has determined that the following servicing criteria are applicable in regards to the following servicing platform for the following period:

Platform: Publicly-issued (i.e., transaction-level reporting initially required under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) asset-backed securities issued on or after January 1, 2006 (and like-kind transactions issued prior to January 1, 2006) that comply with Regulation AB for which the Company provides trustee, securities administration, paying agent or custodial services, as defined and to the extent applicable in the transaction agreements, other than residential mortgage-backed securities and other mortgage-related asset-backed securities.

Applicable Servicing Criteria: All servicing criteria set forth in Item 1122(d), to the extent required by the related transaction agreements as to any transaction, which are identified below in Appendix A (the checked items) as “Applicable Servicing Criteria”.

[With respect to servicing criteria 1122(d)[—] management has engaged a vendor to perform the activities required by these servicing criteria. Management has determined that this vendor is not considered a “servicer” as defined in Item 1101(j) of Regulation AB, and management has elected to take responsibility for assessing compliance with the servicing criteria applicable to this vendor as permitted by Interpretation 17.06 of the SEC Division of Corporation Finance Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations (“Interpretation 17.06”). Management has policies and procedures in place designed to provide reasonable assurance that the vendor’s activities comply in all material respects with the servicing criteria applicable to the vendor. Management is solely responsible for determining that it meets the SEC requirements to apply Interpretation 17.06 for the vendor and related criteria.]

Reporting Period: Twelve months ended March 31, 20[—].

With respect to the Platform and the Reporting Period, the Company provides the following assessment of compliance in respect of the Applicable Servicing Criteria:

• The Company is responsible for assessing its compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

• The Company has assessed compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

• As of March 31, 20[—] and for the Reporting Period, the Company was in material compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria.

[—], a registered public accounting firm, has issued an attestation report on the Company’s assessment of compliance with the Applicable Servicing Criteria for the Reporting Period.
