6.3 Overdue interest
The rates of interest payable in respect of any Offshore Note which has
become due and repayable in full (subject, in the case of the Class B

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

liabilities of the Trustee, to discharge in full in due course
all the amounts referred to in paragraph (i).

Class B Notes remain outstanding and are due and payable otherwise
than by reason of a default in payment of any amount due on the
Class B Notes, the Note Trustee must not vote under the Security
Trust Deed to, or otherwise direct the Security Trustee to, dispose

Page 15
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the obligations of the Trustee or any third party in respect of the
Trustee or the Offshore 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

advice received by it in accordance with paragraph (a) or (b).

paragraph (a) of the relevant Condition 9 in relation to any payment
of interest on the Offshore Notes that the Trustee had, on the due
date for payment of the amount of interest in question, sufficient
cash to pay, in accordance with the provisions of the Series Notice

are observing and performing all their respective obligations
thereunder.

or enforceability or admissibility in evidence of that agreement or
other document or any security constituted by them, and the Note
Trustee may accept without enquiry, requisition or objection all
title as the Trustee may have to any of the Mortgaged Property or as
any other person may have to any other security charged from time to
time to the Note Trustee and shall not be bound to investigate or
make any enquiry in the title of the Trustee to any of the Mortgaged
Property or the title of any other person to any other security
charged from time to time to the Note Trustee whether or not any
default or failure is or was known to the Note Trustee or might be,
or might have been, discovered upon examination inquiry or
investigation and whether or not capable of remedy. Notwithstanding
the generality of the foregoing each Offshore Noteholder is solely
responsible for making its own independent appraisal of and
investigation into the financial condition, creditworthiness,

other security.
(s) The Note Trustee shall not be obliged (whether or not directed to do
so by the Offshore Noteholders) to direct the Security Trustee to
perfect legal title to any Purchased Receivable Security if, in the
opinion of the Note Trustee, that perfection would or might result
in the Note Trustee becoming liable to or incurring any obligation
to any Borrower under a Purchased Receivable Security and, in its
opinion, there is or would be insufficient cash to discharge, in
accordance with the provisions of the Security Trust Deed, that
liability or obligations as and when they arise. Notwithstanding the
generality of the foregoing, the Note Trustee shall have no
responsibility or liability for the payment of any fees for the
registration of any Receivable Security in Australia or for any
related legal, administrative or other fees, costs and expenses
(including, but not limited to, any proper disbursements and any

intermediary or any clearing system or its operator acting in
accordance with or contrary to the terms of any of the Transaction
Documents or otherwise), unless that loss is occasioned by the
wilful neglect or misconduct or fraud of the Note Trustee.
(w) The Note Trustee has no responsibility whatsoever to the Trustee or
any Offshore Noteholder as regards any deficiency or additional
payment, as the case may be, which might arise because the Note
Trustee or the Trustee is subject to any Tax in respect of the

any income or any proceeds from them.

which may be illegal or contrary to applicable law or regulation or
expend or risk its own funds or otherwise incur any financial
liability in the performance of any of its duties, or in the
exercise of any of its rights or powers, if it has reasonable
grounds to believe that repayment of those funds or adequate
indemnity against that risk or liability is not assured to it.

obligation on the Note Trustee to make any further advance to a
Borrower or to borrow any moneys under a Transaction Document or to
maintain, protect or preserve any moneys standing to the credit of
the Collection Account.

21. CURRENCY INDEMNITY
Subject to this deed, the Trustee indemnifies the Note Trustee and the
Offshore Noteholders and keeps them indemnified against:
(a) 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 Offshore Noteholders under this deed or the relevant
Offshore 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$, and under which the Note
Trustee, the Offshore Noteholders do not have an option to have that
judgment or order expressed in US$, and those prevailing at the date
of actual payment by the Trustee; and
(b) any deficiency arising or resulting from any variation in rates of
exchange between:
(i) 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
Offshore Notes is calculated for the purposes of any
bankruptcy, insolvency or liquidation of the Trustee; and
(ii) 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$.
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.
(c) The indemnities in this clause are obligations of the Trustee
separate and independent from its obligations under the Offshore
Notes and apply irrespective of any time or indulgence granted by
the Note Trustee or the Offshore 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
Offshore Notes. Any deficiency will constitute a loss suffered by
the Offshore Noteholders and no proof or evidence of any actual loss
shall be required by the Trustee or its liquidator.

29. LIMITED RECOURSE
29.1 General
Clause 33 of the Master Trust Deed applies to the obligations and
liabilities of the Trustee and the Trust Manager under this deed.
29.2 Liability of Trustee limited to its right to indemnity
(a) This deed applies to the Trustee only in its capacity as trustee of
the Trust and in no other capacity. A liability arising under or in
connection with this deed or the Trust can be enforced against the
Trustee only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out of
property of the Trust out of which the Trustee is actually
indemnified for the liability. This limitation of the Trustee's
liability applies despite any other provision of this deed and
extends to all liabilities and obligations of the Trustee in any way
connected with any representation, warranty, conduct, omission,
agreement or transaction related to this deed or the Trust.
(b) The parties other than the Trustee may not xxx the Trustee in any
capacity other than as trustee of the Trust or seek the appointment
of a receiver (except under the Security Trust Deed), or a
liquidator, an administrator or any similar person to the Trustee or
prove in any liquidation, administration or arrangements of or
affecting the Trustee.
(c) The provisions of this clause 29 shall not apply to any obligation
or liability of the Trustee 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 Trustee's indemnification out of
the Assets of the Trust as a result of the Trustee's fraud,
negligence or breach of trust.
(d) Without affecting any limit or exclusion of liability in relation to
the duties, powers or obligations under the Transaction Documents of
any of the Trust Manager, the Servicer, the Note Trustee, the
Principal Paying Agent, the other Paying Agents or the Agent Bank
(each a Relevant Party), it is acknowledged that the Trust Manager,
the Servicer, the Note Trustee, the Principal Paying Agent, the
other Paying Agents and the Agent Bank (each a Relevant Party) are
responsible under this deed and the other Transaction Documents for
performing a variety of obligations relating to the Trust. No act or
omission of the Trustee (including any related failure to satisfy
its obligations under this deed) will be considered fraud,
negligence or breach of trust of the Trustee for the purpose of
sub-paragraph (iii) 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 who provides services in respect of the Trust (other
than a person who has been delegated or appointed by the Trustee and
for whom the Trustee is responsible under this deed or the relevant
Transaction Documents, but excluding any Relevant Party) to fulfil
its obligations relating to the Trust or by any other act or
omission of a Relevant Party or any other person who provides
services in respect of the Trust (other than a person who has been
delegated or appointed by the Trustee and for whom the Trustee is
responsible under this deed or the relevant Transaction Documents,
but excluding any Relevant Party).
(e) No attorney, agent, receiver or receiver and manager appointed in
accordance with this deed or any other Transaction Documents
(including a Relevant Party) has
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 39
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
authority to act on behalf of the Trustee in a way which exposes the
Trustee to any personal liability and no act or omission of any such
person will be considered fraud, negligence or breach of trust of
the Trustee for the purpose of sub-paragraph (iii), if the Trustee
has exercised reasonable care in the selection and supervision of
such a person.
29. Unrestricted remedies
Nothing in clause 29.2 limits any party (other than the Trustee) in:
(a) obtaining an injunction or other order to restrain any breach of
this deed by any party;
(b) obtaining declaratory relief; or
(c) in relation to its rights under the Security Trust Deed.
29. Restricted remedies
Except as provided in clause 29.3, no Paying Agent shall:
(a) (judgment) obtain a judgment for the payment of money or damages by
the Trustee;
(b) (statutory demand) issue any demand under s459E(1) of the
Corporations Law (or any analogous provision under any other law)
against the Trustee;
(c) (winding up) apply for the winding up or dissolution of the Trustee;
(d) (execution) levy or enforce any distress or other execution to, on,
or against any assets of the Trustee;
(e) (court appointed receiver) apply for the appointment by a court of a
receiver to any of the assets of the Trustee;
(f) (set-off or counterclaim) exercise or seek to exercise any set-off
or counterclaim against the Trustee; or
(g) (administrator) appoint, or agree to the appointment, of any
administrator to the Trustee,
or take proceedings for any of the above and each Paying Agent waives its
rights to make those applications and take those proceedings.
30. SUCCESSOR TRUSTEE
The Note Trustee shall do all things reasonably necessary to enable any
successor Trustee appointed under clause 24 of the Master Trust Deed to
become the Trustee under this deed.
31. OFFSHORE NOTEHOLDERS' LISTS AND REPORTS
31.1 Provision of information
The Trustee will furnish or cause to be furnished to the Note Trustee:
(a) every six months (with the first six month period commencing on the
Closing Date) (each such date being a Notice Date), a list, in such
form as the Note Trustee may
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 40
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
reasonably require, of the names and addresses of the Offshore
Noteholders as of the Record Date immediately preceding that Notice
Date; and
(b) at such other times as the Note Trustee may request in writing,
within 30 days after receipt by the Trustee of any such request, a
list of similar form and content as of a date not more than 10 days
prior to the time such list is furnished,
provided that so long as:
(c) the Note Trustee is the Note Registrar; or
(d) the Offshore Notes are Book-Entry Notes,
no such list shall be required to be furnished.
31.2 Preservation of Information; Communications to Offshore Noteholders
(a) The Note Trustee shall preserve, in as current a form as is
reasonably practicable, the names and addresses of the Offshore
Noteholders contained in the most recent list (if any) furnished to
the Note Trustee as provided in clause 31.1 and, so long as it
continues to act as Note Registrar, the names and addresses of
Offshore Noteholders received by the Note Trustee in its capacity as
Note Registrar. The Trustee may destroy any list furnished to it as
provided in such clause 31.1 upon receipt of a new list so
furnished.
(b) Offshore Noteholders may communicate pursuant to section 312(b) of
the TIA with other Offshore Noteholders with respect to their rights
under this Deed or under the Offshore Notes.
(c) The Trustee, Note Trustee and Note Registrar shall have the
protection of section 312(c) of the TIA.
31.3 Reports by Note Trustee
If required by section 313(a) of the TIA, within 60 days after each 30
June, beginning with 30 June 1999, the Note Trustee shall mail to each
Offshore Noteholder and the Trustee as required by section 313(c) of the
TIA a brief report dated as of such date that complies with section 313(a)
of the TIA. The Note Trustee also shall comply with section 313(b) of the
TIA. A copy of each report at the time of its mailing to Offshore
Noteholders shall be filed by the Note Trustee with the Commission and
each stock exchange, if any, on which the Offshore Notes are listed. The
Trust Manager on behalf of the Trustee shall notify the Note Trustee if
and when the Offshore Notes are listed on any stock exchange.
31.4 Notices to Offshore Noteholders; Waiver
Where this deed provides for notice to Offshore Noteholders of any event,
such notice shall be sufficiently given (unless otherwise herein expressly
provided) if in writing and mailed, first-class, postage prepaid to each
Offshore Noteholder affected by such event, at his or her address as it
appears on the Note Register, not later than the latest date, and not
earlier than the earliest date, prescribed for the giving of such notice.
In any case where notice to Offshore Noteholders is given by mail, neither
the failure to mail such notice nor any defect in any notice so mailed to
any particular Offshore Noteholder shall affect the sufficiency of such
notice with respect to other Offshore Noteholders, and any notice that is
mailed in the manner herein provided shall conclusively be presumed to
have been duly given.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Page 41
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where this deed provides 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 Offshore 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.
In case, by reason of the suspension of regular mail services as a result
of a strike, work stoppage or similar activity, it shall be impractical to
mail notice of any event to Offshore Noteholders when such notice is
required to be given pursuant to any provision of this deed, then any
manner of giving such notice as the Trustee shall direct the Note Trustee
shall be deemed to be a sufficient giving of such notice.
31.5 Reports by Trustee
The Trustee shall:
(a) file with the Note Trustee, within 15 days after the Trustee is
required to file the same with the Commission, copies of the annual
reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or
copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the Commission
may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which the
Trustee may be required to file with the Commission pursuant to
section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended;
(b) file with the Note Trustee and the Commission in accordance with
rules and regulations prescribed from time to time by the Commission
such additional information, documents and reports with respect to
compliance by the Trustee with the conditions and covenants of this
deed as may be required from time to time by such rules and
regulations; and
(c) supply to the Note Trustee (and the Note Trustee shall transmit by
mail to all Offshore Noteholders described in section 313(c) of the
TIA) such summaries of any information, documents and reports
required to be filed by the Trustee pursuant to clauses (a) and (b)
of this clause 31.5 as may be required by rules and regulations
prescribed from time to time by the Commission.

filing by any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay
the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion
