7. Indemnification and Contribution.
(a) Each of the CBA Parties agrees jointly and severally to indemnify and
hold harmless each Underwriter, each affiliate of an Underwriter that assists
such Underwriter in the distribution of the Offshore Notes and each person, if
any, that controls any Underwriter within the meaning of either Section 15 of
the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act, from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages and liabilities (including, without limitation, the
legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with any suit, action or
proceeding or any claim asserted) caused by any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the CBA Parties shall have
furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), or caused by any omission or
alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein
or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
except:
(i) insofar as any such losses, claims, damages, liabilities, legal
fees and other expenses are caused by any untrue statement or omission
or alleged untrue statement or omission made (A) in reliance upon and
in conformity with information relating to any Underwriter furnished
to a CBA Party in writing by such Underwriter expressly for use
therein or (B) in the Prepayment and Yield Information (as defined in
the next paragraph); or
(ii) that such indemnity with respect to the Prospectus shall not
inure to the benefit of any Underwriter (or any person controlling any
Underwriter) from whom the person asserting any such loss, claim,
damage or liability, purchased the Offshore Notes which are the
subject hereof, if such person did not receive a copy of the
Prospectus (or the Prospectus as amended or supplemented) at or prior
to the confirmation of the sale of such Offshore Notes to such person,
and where such delivery is required by the Securities Act and the
alleged untrue statement contained in, or omission of a material fact
from the Prospectus was corrected in the Prospectus as amended or
supplemented and such Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, was
delivered to the Underwriters reasonably prior to such confirmation;
or
(iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability
arises out of or is based upon any such untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made therein relating
to any information included in Computational Materials or ABS Term
Sheets, if any, that have been superseded by revised Computational
Materials or ABS Terms Sheets if such Underwriter (A) has not complied
with its obligation to circulate revised Computational Materials and
ABS Terms Sheets in accordance with Section 5(V) or (B) has not
delivered them to the Manager no later than one (1) Business Day after
delivery to investors (in the case of (B), to the extent such loss,
claim, damage or liability is attributable to the failure to deliver)
provided that the CBA Parties shall indemnify each Underwriter to the
extent any misstatement or omission is contained in the Pool
Information;
For the purposes of this Agreement, the term "PREPAYMENT AND YIELD
INFORMATION" means that portion of the information in the Prospectus (or the
Prospectus as amended or supplemented) set forth under the sub-heading
"Prepayment and Yield Considerations Weighted Average Lives", including the
table entitled "Percent of Initial Principal Outstanding at the Following
Percentages of Constant Prepayment Rate", that is not Pool Information provided,
however, that information set forth under that sub-heading that is not Pool
Information shall not constitute Prepayment and Yield Information to the extent
such information is inaccurate or misleading in any material respect as a result
of it being based on Pool Information that is inaccurate or misleading in any
material respect. "POOL INFORMATION" means the information furnished by magnetic
tape, diskette or any other computer readable format, or in writing to the
Underwriters by any CBA Party regarding the Mortgage Loans.
(b) Each Underwriter agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify and hold
harmless the Manager, its directors its officers who sign the Registration
Statement, the Issuer Trustee and CBA and each person that controls a CBA Party
or the Issuer Trustee within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and
Section 20 of the Exchange Act to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity
from the CBA Parties to each Underwriter, but only with reference to: (i)
information relating to such Underwriter furnished to the CBA Parties in writing
by such Underwriter expressly for use in the, Registration Statement or the
Prospectus, any amendment or supplement thereto; and (ii) the Computational
Materials and ABS Term Sheets, if any, delivered to investors by such
Underwriter, except to the extent of any errors in the Computational Materials
or ABS Term Sheets that are caused by errors in the Pool Information.
(c) If any suit, action, proceeding (including any governmental or
regulatory investigation), claim or demand shall be brought or asserted against
any person in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to subsection
(a) or (b) above, such person (the "INDEMNIFIED PERSON") shall promptly notify
the person against whom such indemnity may be sought (the "INDEMNIFYING PERSON")
in writing, and the Indemnifying Person, upon request of the Indemnified Person,
shall retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person to
represent the Indemnified Person and any others the Indemnifying Person may
designate in such proceeding and shall pay the fees and expenses of such counsel
related to such proceeding.
In any such proceeding, any Indemnified Person shall have the right to
retain its own counsel, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall he at
the expense of such Indemnified Person unless:
(i) the Indemnifying Person and the Indemnified Person shall have
mutually agreed to the contrary;
(ii) the Indemnifying Person has failed within a reasonable time to
retain counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Person; or
(iii) the named parties in any such proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both the Indemnifying Person and the
Indemnified Person and representation of both parties by the same
counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing
interests between them.
It is understood that the Indemnifying Person shall not, in connection with
any proceeding or related proceeding in the same jurisdiction, he liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm (in addition to any local
counsel) for all Indemnified Persons, and that all such fees and expenses shall
be reimbursed as they are incurred. Any such separate firm for the Underwriters,
each affiliate of any Underwriter which assists such Underwriter in the
distribution of the Notes and such control persons of Underwriters shall be
designated in writing by [ ] and any such separate firm for the Manager, its
directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement, CBA and the Issuer
Trustee and such control persons of each of the Issuer Trustee and the CBA
Parties shall be designated in writing by that party.
The Indemnifying Person shall not be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent, but if settled with such
consent or if there be a final judgment for the plaintiff, the Indemnifying
Person agrees to indemnify any Indemnified Person from and against any loss or
liability by reason of such settlement or judgment. Notwithstanding the
foregoing sentence, if at any time an Indemnified Person shall have requested an
Indemnifying Person to reimburse the Indemnified Person for fees and expenses of
counsel as contemplated by the third sentence of this subsection (c), the
Indemnifying Person agrees that it shall be liable for any settlement of any
proceeding effected without its written consent if:
(iv) such settlement is entered into more than 30 days after receipt
by such Indemnifying Person of the aforesaid request; and
(v) such Indemnifying Person shall not have reimbursed the Indemnified
Person in accordance with such request prior to the date of such
settlement.
No Indemnifying Person shall, without the prior written consent of the
Indemnified Person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
proceeding in respect of which any Indemnified Person is or could have been a
party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Person,
unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified
Person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
proceeding.
(d) If the indemnification provided for in subsection (A) or (b) above is
unavailable to an Indemnified Person in respect of any losses, claims, damages
or liabilities referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Person under such
subsection, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Person thereunder, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Person as a result
of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (i) in such proportion as is
appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the CBA Parties and the
Issuer Trustee on the one hand and the Underwriters on the other hand from the
offering of the Offshore Notes, or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i)
above is not permitted by applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate
to reflect not only the relative benefits referred to in clause (i) above but
also the relative fault of the CBA Parties and the Issuer Trustee on the one
hand and the Underwriters on the other in connection with the statements or
omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well
as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative benefits received
by the CBA Parties and the Issuer Trustee on the one hand and the Underwriters
on the other shall be deemed to be in the same respective proportions as the net
proceeds from the
offering (before deducting expenses) received by the CBA Parties and the Issuer
Trustee and the total underwriting discounts and the commissions received by the
Underwriters bear to the aggregate public offering price of the Offshore Notes.
The relative fault of the CBA Parties and the Issuer Trustee on the one hand and
the Underwriters on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other
things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the
omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information
supplied by a CBA Party or the Issuer Trustee or by the Underwriters and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.
The CBA Parties, the Issuer Trustee and the Underwriters agree that it
would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were
determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Underwriters were treated as one
entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation that does not take
account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding
paragraph. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Person as a result of
the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in this subsection (d)
shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any
legal or other expenses incurred by such Indemnified Person in connection with
investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this Section 7, in no event shall an Underwriter be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price at which
the Notes underwritten by it and distributed to the public were offered to the
public exceeds the amount of any damages that such Underwriter has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission- No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation
(within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to
contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this
Section 7 are several in proportion to the respective principal amount of
Offshore Notes set forth opposite their names in Schedule 1 hereto, and not
joint.
The remedies provided for in this Section 7 are not exclusive and shall not
limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified
party at law or in equity.
(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 7
and the representations and warranties of the Issuer Trustee and the CBA Parties
set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and effect
regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, (ii) any investigation made
by or on behalf of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter or
by or on behalf of the Issuer Trustee or a CBA Party, its officers or directors
or any other person controlling the Issuer Trustee or a CBA Party and (iii)
acceptance of and payment for any of the Offshore Notes.
(f) To the extent that any payment of damages by a CBA Party pursuant to
subsection (a) above is determined to be a payment of damages pursuant to
paragraph 15 of Guidance Note AGN 120.3- "Purchase and Supply of Assets
(including Securities issued by SPVs)", being a Guidance Note to Prudential
Standard APS 120- "Funds Management and Securitisation" or any successor
thereto, such payment shall be subject to the terms therein (or the terms of any
equivalent provisions in any successor of Prudential Standard APS 120).
8. Termination. Notwithstanding anything herein contained this Agreement
may be terminated in the absolute discretion of the [ ], by notice given to
the Issuer Trustee and each CBA Party, if after the execution and delivery of
this Agreement and prior to the Closing Date (i) trading generally shall have
been suspended or materially limited on or by, as the case may be, any of the
New York Stock Exchange, the London Stock Exchange or the Australian Stock
Exchange, (ii) trading of any securities of or guaranteed by the Issuer Trustee
or any CBA Party shall have been suspended or any exchange or in any
over-the-counter market, (iii) a general moratorium on commercial banking
activities in New York, Sydney or London shall have been declared by either
United States Federal, New York State, Commonwealth of Australia, New South
Wales State or United Kingdom authorities, or (iv) there shall have occurred any
outbreak or escalation of hostilities or any change in financial markets or any
calamity or crisis that, in the judgment of the [ ], makes it
impracticable to market the Offshore Notes on the terms and in the manner
contemplated in the Prospectus.
9. Effectiveness of Agreement; Default of Underwriters. This Agreement
shall become effective upon the later of (x) execution and delivery hereof by
the parties hereto and (y) release of notification of the effectiveness of the
Registration Statement (or, if applicable, any post-effective amendment) by the
Commission.
If on the Closing Date any one or more of the Underwriters shall fail or
refuse to purchase Offshore Notes which it or they have agreed to purchase
hereunder on such date, and the aggregate principal amount of Offshore Notes
which such defaulting Underwriter or Underwriters agreed but failed or refused
to purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of the
Offshore Notes to be purchased on such date, the other Underwriters shall be
obliged severally in the proportions that the principal amount of Offshore Notes
set forth opposite their respective names in Schedule I bears to the aggregate
principal amount of Offshore Notes set forth opposite the names of all such
non-defaulting Underwriters, or in such other proportions as the [ ] may
specify, to purchase the Offshore Notes which such defaulting Underwriter or
Underwriters agreed but failed or refused to purchase on such date; provided
that in no event shall the principal amount of Offshore Notes that any
Underwriter has agreed to purchase pursuant to Section I be increased pursuant
to this Section 9 by an amount in excess of one-ninth of such principal amount
of Offshore Notes without the written consent of such Underwriter. If on the
Closing Date any Underwriter or Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase
Offshore Notes which it or they have agreed to purchase hereunder on such date,
and the aggregate amount of Offshore Notes with respect to which such default
occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate principal amount of Offshore
Notes to be purchased on such date, and arrangements satisfactory to the [ ] and
the Manager for the purchase of such Notes are not made within 36 hours after
such default, this Agreement shall terminate without liability on the part of
any non-defaulting Underwriter or the CBA Parties and the Issuer Trustee. In any
such case either the [ ] or the Manager shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the
required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and in the Prospectus or
in any other documents or arrangements may be effected. Any action taken under
this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting Underwriter from liability in
respect of any default of such Underwriter under this Agreement.
10. Expenses Upon Termination. If this Agreement shall be terminated by the
Underwriters, or any of them, because of any failure or refusal on the part of
the Issuer Trustee or a CBA Party to comply with the terms or to fulfil any of
the conditions of this Agreement, or if for any reason the Issuer Trustee or a
CBA Party shall be unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement or any
condition of the Underwriters' obligations cannot be fulfilled, the CBA Parties
jointly and severally agree to reimburse the Underwriters or such Underwriters
as have so terminated this Agreement with respect to themselves, severally, for
all out-of-pocket expenses (including the fees and expenses of their counsel)
reasonably incurred by such Underwriters in connection with this Agreement or
the offering contemplated hereunder.
11. Successors. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the CBA Parties, the Issuer Trustee, the Underwriters, each affiliate of
any Underwriter which assists such Underwriter in the distribution of the
Offshore Notes, any controlling persons referred to herein and their respective
successors and assigns. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is
intended or shall be construed to give any other person, firm or corporation any
legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in respect of this Agreement
or any provision herein contained. No purchaser of Notes from any Underwriter
shall be deemed to be a successor by reason merely of such purchase.
12. Certain Matters Relating- to the Issuer Trustee.
(a) The Issuer Trustee enters into this Agreement only in its capacity as
Trustee of the Trust and in no other capacity. A liability incurred by the
Issuer Trustee acting in its capacity as Issuer Trustee of the Trust arising
under or in connection with this Agreement is limited to and can be enforced
against the Issuer Trustee only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out
of Assets of the Trust out of which the Issuer Trustee is actually indemnified
for the liability. This limitation of the Issuer Trustee's liability applies
despite any other provision of this Agreement (other than section 12(c)) to the
contrary
and extends to all liabilities and obligations of the Issuer Trustee in any way
connected with any representation, warranty, conduct, omission, agreement or
transaction related to this Agreement.
(b) Each Underwriter and each of the CBA Parties may not xxx the Issuer
Trustee in respect of liabilities incurred by the Issuer Trustee, acting in its
capacity as Issuer Trustee of the Trust, in any capacity other than as Issuer
Trustee of the Trust including seeking the appointment of a receiver (except in
relation to the Assets of the Series Trust), or a liquidator, an administrator
or any similar person to the Issuer Trustee or prove in any liquidation,
administration or arrangements of or affecting the Issuer Trustee (except in
relation to the Assets of the Trust).
(c) The provisions of this section 12 will not apply to any obligation or
liability of the Issuer Trustee to the extent that it is not satisfied because
under the Master Trust Deed, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document in
relation to the Trust or by operation of law there is a reduction in the extent
of the Issuer Trustee's indemnification or exoneration out of the Assets of the
Trust, as a result of the Issuer Trustee's fraud, negligence or wilful default
(as defined in the Series Supplement).
(d) It is acknowledged that the Relevant Parties (as defined in the Series
Supplement) are responsible under the Basic Documents for performing a variety
of obligations relating to the Trust. No act or omission of the Issuer Trustee
(including any related failure to satisfy its obligations and any breach of
representations and warranties under this Agreement) will be considered
fraudulent, negligent or a wilful default for the purpose of section 12(c) to
the extent to which the act or omission was caused or contributed to by any
failure by any Relevant Party (other than any person for whom the Issuer Trustee
is responsible or liable for in accordance with any Transaction Document) to
fulfil its obligations relating to the Tr= or by any other act or omission of a
Relevant Party or any other such person.
13. Actions by Representative; Notice. Any action by the Underwriters
hereunder may be taken by the [ ] on behalf of the Underwriters, and any
such action taken by the [ ] shall be binding upon the Underwriters.

telecommunication. Notices to the Underwriters shall be given to [ .]

14. Counterparts; Applicable Law. This Agreement may be signed in
counterparts, each of which shall be an original and all of which together shall
constitute one and the same instrument. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving
effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof.
15. Submission to Jurisdiction. Each of the CBA Parties and the Issuer
Trustee submits to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of any Federal or State court
in the City, County and State or New York, United States of America, in any
legal suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under this Agreement and
agrees that all claims in respect of such suit or proceeding may be determined
in any such court. Each of the CBA Parties and the Issuer Trustee waives, to the
extent permitted by law, the defence of an inconvenient forum or objections to
personal jurisdiction with respect to the maintenance of such legal suit, action
or proceedings any objection to the laying of the venue of any such suit, action
or proceeding in any Federal or State court in the City, County and State of New
York, United States of America. To the extent that each of the CBA Parties and
the Issuer Trustee or any of their respective properties, assets or revenues may
have or may hereafter become entitled to, or have attributed to it, any right of
immunity from any legal action, suit or proceeding, from setoff or counterclaim,
from the jurisdiction of any court, from service of process, attachment upon or
prior to judgment, or attachment in aid of execution of judgment, or from
execution of a judgment, or other legal process or proceeding for the giving of
any relief or for the enforcement of a judgment, in any such jurisdiction with
respect to its obligations, liabilities or any other matter under or arising out
of or in connection with the issuance of the Offshore Notes or this Agreement,
each of the CBA Parties and the Issuer Trustee hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim any such immunity and
consents to such relief and enforcement.
16. Appointments of Process Agent.
(a) Each of the CBA Parties hereby designates and appoints Commonwealth
Bank of Australia, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, XX 00000 (Attention: Xxx
Xxxxxxxx) (the "CBA PROCESS AGENT"), as its authorized agent, upon whom process

or in connection with this Agreement, it being understood that the designation
and appointment of Commonwealth Bank of Australia, 000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxx
Xxxx, XX 00000 (Attention. Xxx Xxxxxxxx) as such authorized agent shall become

CBA Parties. Such appointment shall be irrevocable to the extent permitted by
applicable law and subject to the appointment of a successor agent in the United
States on terms substantially similar to those contained in this Section 16 and
reasonably satisfactory to the [ ]. If the CBA Process Agent shall cease
to act as agent for service of process, each of the CBA Parties shall appoint,
without unreasonable delay, another such agent, and notify [ ] of such
appointment. Each of the CBA Parties represents to the Underwriters that it has
notified the CBA Process Agent of such designation and appointment and that the
CBA Process Agent has accepted the same in writing. Each of the CBA Parties
hereby authorizes and directs the CBA Process Agent to accept such service. Each
of the CBA Parties further agrees that service of process upon the CBA Process
Agent and written notice of that service to it shall be deemed in every respect
effective service of process upon it in any such legal suit, action or
proceeding. Nothing in this Section 16 shall affect the right of any Underwriter
or any person controlling any Underwriter to serve process in any other manner
permitted by law.
(b) The Issuer Trustee hereby designates and appoints [ ] (the "IT
PROCESS AGENT"), as its authorized agent, upon whom process may be served in any
legal suit, action or proceeding based on or arising under or in connection with
this Agreement, it being understood that the designation and appointment of

Agent to accept such service. The Issuer Trustee further agrees that service of
process upon the IT Process Agent and written notice of that service to it shall
be deemed in every respect effective service of process upon it in any such
legal suit, action or proceeding. Nothing in this Section 16 shall affect the
right of any Underwriter or any person controlling any Underwriter to serve
process in any other manner permitted by law.
17. Currency Indemnity. The obligations of the parties to make payments
under this Agreement are in U.S. dollars. Such obligations shall not be
discharged or satisfied by any tender or recovery pursuant to any judgment
expressed in any currency other than U.S. dollars or any other realization in
such other currency, whether as proceeds of set-off security, guarantee,
distributions, or otherwise, except to the extent to which such tender recovery
or realization shall result in the receipt by the party which is to receive such
payment of the full amount of the U.S. dollars expressed to be payable under
this Agreement. The party liable to make such payment agrees to indemnify the
party which is to receive such payment for the amount (if any) by which the full
amount of U.S. dollars exceeds the amount actually received, and, in each case,
such obligation shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other

certified for customs purposes by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York of the
business day preceding

is not available, the rate of exchange shall be the rate at which in accordance
with normal banking procedures the [ ] could purchase United States dollars with
such foreign currency on the business day preceding that on which the judgment
becomes a final judgment.
