In relation to any related Receivable Security that is required to be registered with any Governmental Agency and which is not registered at the Cut-Off Date, it will be registered.

  (c) (Ownership) In relation to each Receivable Security which is specified in that Sale Notice the Servicer has not done, or omitted to do anything which would prevent the relevant Obligor(s) from being the sole legal owner of the relevant Mortgaged Property and registered as the sole proprietor(s) of the relevant Mortgaged Property.

  (i) (Interest rate) Except as may be provided in a Receivable Agreement or Receivable Security which is specified in the Sale Notice, and subject to applicable laws, the Servicer has not done, or omitted to do anything which would render the interest rate for each such Receivable subject to any limitation, or to any consent, additional memoranda or other writing required from the relevant Obligor to give effect to a change in that rate and any change in that rate will be effective on notice being given to that Obligor in accordance with the terms of the relevant Receivable or Receivable Security.

  (c) (Set Off) The Warehouse Trustee has not done anything, during the period within which the Warehouse Trustee was trustee of the Receivables and the related Receivable Rights specified in that Sale Notice, which would render, once equitably assigned to the Trustee, any Receivable or Receivable Right which is specified in that Sale Notice subject to any right of rescission, set off, counterclaim or similar defence, nor to render any Receivable or Receivable Right which is specified in that Sale Notice subject to, or affected by, any interest off-set arrangement or right.

The Trustee must, when so directed by the Trust Manager (at the Trust Manager’s option) on or before the date which is 3 Business Days before the Payment Date, having given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Note Trustee and the Security Trustee in accordance with, in the case of the Class A1 Notes, Condition 12 and in the case of the Class A2 Notes, in accordance with the terms of this Series Notice and the Master Trust Deed, redeem all, but not some only of the Class A Notes by repaying the Invested Amount, or, if all the Class A Noteholders so agree, the Stated Amount, of those Class A Notes, together with accrued interest to (but excluding) the date of redemption on any Payment Date falling on or after the Payment Date on which the Total Invested Amount of all Notes is equal to or less than 10% of the aggregate of the Total Initial Invested Amount of all Notes (the Call Option Date) provided that:

  (c) the Trustee having sufficient cash to make such repayment and discharge all its liabilities in respect of amounts which are required under the Security Trust Deed to be paid in priority to or equally with the Notes as if the security for the Notes were being enforced. The Trustee may;

  (f) all Class A Notes have been redeemed in full before that Payment Date, or will be redeemed in full on that Payment Date.

 

19.3 Tax Event

 

If the Trust Manager notifies the Trustee and the Note Trustee that in its opinion (based on such advice it deems necessary) either:

 

  (a) on the next Payment Date the Trustee (or a Paying Agent) would be required to deduct or withhold from any payment of principal or interest in respect of the Notes or a Currency Swap in respect of any Class A1 Notes any amount for or on account of any present or future taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or assessed by the Commonwealth of Australia or any of its political sub-divisions or any of its authorities; or

 

  (b) the total amount payable in respect of interest in relation to any of the Loans for a Collection Period ceases to be receivable (whether or not actually received) by the Trustee during such Collection Period (but, for the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph does not apply to the failure by the Trustee to receive any interest on any Loans merely by reason of the failure by the relevant Obligors to pay that interest in breach of the relevant Loan),

 

the Trustee must, when so directed by the Trust Manager, at the Trust Manager’s option (provided that the Trustee will be in a position on such Payment Date to discharge (and the Trust Manager will

 

Page 53


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Series Notice   

 

so certify to the Trustee and the Note Trustee) all its liabilities in respect of those Notes and any amounts required under the Security Trust Deed to be paid in priority or pari passu with those Notes if the security for the Notes were being enforced), having given not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Noteholders of those Notes (and all other Noteholders whose Notes are to be redeemed at the same time), in accordance with Condition 12 for any Class A1 Notes, redeem all, but not some only, of those Notes at their Invested Amount (or, if the Class A Noteholders by Extraordinary Resolution have so agreed, at their Stated Amount) together with accrued interest to (but excluding) the date of redemption on any subsequent Payment Date, provided that the Class A Noteholders may by Extraordinary Resolution elect, and shall notify the Trustee and the Trust Manager in writing, that they do not require the Trustee to redeem the Class A Notes.

 

19.4 Margin where no Redemption at Stated Amount

 

If the Trustee, at the direction of the Trust Manager, proposes to exercise its option to redeem the Notes on a Payment Date on or after the Call Option Date at their Stated Amounts rather than their Invested Amounts, as described in clauses 19.1 and 19.2 above, but is unable to do so because, following a meeting of Noteholders convened under the provisions of the Master Trust Deed and the Note Trust Deed for this purpose, the Noteholders have not approved by an Extraordinary Resolution the redemption of the Notes at their Stated Amounts, then the Margin to be applied in determining the Coupon Rate on those Notes for each Coupon Period commencing on or after that Payment Date will remain at, or revert to, the Margin applying at the Closing Date.

 

19.5 Full satisfaction

 

Repayment and redemption of Class A Notes or Class B Notes in accordance with clause 19.1, 19.2 or 19.3 (as the case may be) shall be in full satisfaction of the Trustee’s obligations under the relevant Notes.

 

20. Tax Reform

 

20.1 Taxation of trusts and consolidated groups

 

The parties acknowledge that:

 

  (a) in relation to the proposed taxation of non-fixed trusts as companies:

 

  (i) the Commonwealth Government has withdrawn draft legislation under which non-fixed trusts would have been taxed as companies from 1 July 2001;

 

  (ii) in November 2002 the Board of Taxation recommended that the Government retain the current flow-through treatment of distributions of non-assessable amounts by non-fixed trusts rather than a company type taxation model; and

 

  (iii) although the Government has not expressly agreed to the recommendation of the Board of Taxation described at (ii) above, on 12 December 2002 the Government announced its intention to amend the taxation laws in accordance with recommendations of the Board of Taxation which were incidental to the recommendation described at (ii) above.

 

Page 54


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Series Notice   

 

  (b) If the Trust becomes a member of a consolidated group of companies and trusts under Part 3-90 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 (a consolidated tax group), the Trustee could be liable for a share of a tax-related liability of the head company of that consolidated tax group (a group tax liability) if:

 

  (i) the head company of the consolidated tax group does not pay that group tax liability by the time it becomes due and payable; and

 

  (ii) that group tax liability is not covered by a tax sharing agreement which is consistent with regulations made, or guidelines published by the Commissioner of Taxation, concerning the allocation of group tax liabilities of a consolidated tax group amongst certain members of that group or which is otherwise accepted by the Commissioner of Taxation as allocating the group tax liabilities of the consolidated tax group amongst those members on a reasonable basis (a valid tax sharing agreement); and

 

  (c) it is in the interests of all parties, including the Trustee, the Noteholders and the Beneficiaries, that:

 

  (i) the Trustee always be in a position to pay any Tax liability when due;

 

  (ii) the payment of Tax by the Trustee must not affect the amount of principal or interest payable on the Notes or the timing of such payments; and

 

  (iii) the Rating of the Notes be maintained.

 

20.2 Amending Bill – taxation of trusts

 

If an amending Bill is introduced into the Federal Parliament (the amending Bill), and the result of that amending Bill, if it becomes law, will be that the Trustee will become liable to pay Tax on the net income of the Trust (as described in clause 20.1(a)), then:

 

  (a) the Trust Manager shall promptly consult with the Trustee and each Designated Rating Agency to determine what changes, if any, are necessary to the cashflow allocation methodology in clause 5 to achieve the objective referred to in clause 20.1(c) (the Objective);

 

  (b) within 1 month of the amending Bill being introduced into Federal Parliament (or such longer time as the Trustee and each Designated Rating Agency permits) the Trust Manager shall use reasonable endeavours to provide a written recommendation to the Trustee and a draft deed amending this Series Notice that, if executed, will achieve the Objective; and

 

  (c) if and when the amending Bill becomes law, upon the Trustee being notified by the Trust Manager that the draft deed amending this Series Notice will achieve the Objective (and in this regard the Trustee may rely (amongst others) upon advice of tax lawyers), and each of the other parties to this Series Notice being reasonably satisfied that they will not be adversely affected by the proposed amendments to this Series Notice, each party to this Series Notice shall execute that amendment deed.

 

Page 55


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Series Notice   

 

20.3 Group tax liabilities

 

If the Trust becomes a member of a consolidated tax group and the head company of that consolidated tax group does not at that time, or at any subsequent time, provide evidence to the satisfaction of the Trustee (which may rely upon the advice of tax lawyers, amongst others) that the tax liabilities of the consolidated group are covered by a valid tax sharing agreement that apportions those tax liabilities to the Trustee on a basis acceptable to the Trustee (and the Trustee acknowledges that a nil allocation of the group tax liabilities will be acceptable to it), then:

 

  (a) the Trust Manager shall, as soon as is practicable, direct the Trustee to take steps to ensure that the Trust ceases to be a member of that consolidated group;

 

  (b) the Trust Manager shall promptly consult with the Trustee and each Designated Rating Agency to determine what changes, if any, are necessary to the cashflow allocation methodology in clause 5 to achieve the Objective; and

 

  (i) within 2 months of such consultations commencing (or such longer time as the Trustee and each Designated Rating Agency permit), the Trust Manager shall use reasonable endeavours to provide a written direction to the Trustee and a draft deed amending this Series Notice that, if executed, will achieve the Objective; and

 

  (ii) upon the Trustee being notified by the Trust Manager that the draft deed amending this Series Notice will achieve the Objective (and in this regard the Trustee may rely (amongst others) upon advice of tax lawyers), and each of the other parties to this Series Notice being reasonably satisfied that they will not be adversely affected by the proposed amendments to this Series Notice, each party to this Series Notice shall execute that amendment deed.

 

20.4 Evidence of tax sharing agreement

 

The Trust Manager shall procure that the head company of a consolidated tax group of which the Trust becomes a member will:

 

  (a) ensure that the group tax liabilities of that consolidated tax group are covered by a valid tax sharing agreement that apportions those tax liabilities to the Trustee on a basis acceptable to the Trustee (and the Trustee acknowledges that a nil allocation of the group tax liabilities will be acceptable to it); and

 

  (b) provide evidence of such a tax sharing agreement being in place for the purposes of clause 20.3:

 

  (i) at the time the Trust becomes a member of the consolidated tax group; and

 

  (ii) on each occasion that there is any alteration, amendment or replacement of a tax sharing agreement covering the tax liabilities of the consolidated tax group.

 

20.5 Objective

 

  (a)

Provided that the Trustee and each Designated Rating Agency receive written advice from an experienced and reputable tax lawyer or tax accountant to the effect that if the cashflow allocation methodology in clause 5, as amended by the deed amending this Series Notice, is followed, the Objective will be met, and each Designated Rating Agency confirms in

 

Page 56


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Series Notice   

 

 

writing that the change in Tax law or the deed amending this Series Notice will not result in the downgrade or withdrawal of rating of any Note:

 

  (i) the Trustee shall not be obliged to obtain the consent of any Noteholder or the Residual Income Beneficiary to the deed amending this Series Notice; and

 

  (ii) subject to its terms, the deed amending this Series Notice shall be effective when executed, and may:

 

  (A) permit the Trustee to accumulate a reserve out of moneys that would otherwise be payable to the Residual Income Beneficiary; and/or

 

  (B) provide for Tax to be paid out of moneys that would otherwise have been payable to the Residual Income Beneficiary.

 

20.6 Residual Income Beneficiary

 

Without limiting clause 20.5, in formulating a proposal to meet the Objective, the Trust Manager shall have regard to the impact of any change to the cashflow allocation methodology to the Residual Income Beneficiary, and shall consider proposals made by the Residual Income Beneficiary that will enable the Trustee to meet the Objective.

 

21. Acknowledgments

 

  (a) The parties to the Transaction Documents agree that the Code of Banking Practice 2003 (Code) does not apply to any Transaction Document or any transaction or service under any Transaction Document.

 

  (b) The parties to the Transaction Documents acknowledge that Westpac is bound by the Code in respect of its dealings with some or all Mortgagors and agree that if the application of the Code to those dealings makes an amendment to any Transaction Document necessary or desirable, in the opinion of Westpac, then the parties will negotiate such amendments in good faith.

 

22. Changes to Portfolio of Receivables before the Cut-Off Date

 

An Approved Seller may at any time before the Cut-Off Date add a Receivable to, or remove a Receivable from, the Portfolio of Receivables, provided that:

 

  (a) the Approved Seller:

 

  (i) notifies the Trustee and Trust Manager in writing of that addition or removal; and

 

  (ii) provides the Trustee and Trust Manager with a revised form of Annexure A to the Note Issue Direction that reflects that addition or removal,

 

within 5 Business Days (but, in any event, before the Cut-Off Date); and

 

  (b) the addition or removal (when taken together with all other additions and removals under this clause) does not result in a change of more than 5% in any of the characteristics of the Portfolio of Receivables described in the Information Memorandum.

23. Credit Support transferred by Currency Swap Provider

 

Each of the Beneficiaries and Noteholders acknowledges and agrees that:

  (ii) (Representations and Warranties) At the time of those assignments Westpac gave the same representations and warranties to the trustee of the Series 1997-1 WST Trust, the Series 1997-2 WST Trust, the Series 1997-3 WST Trust, the Series 1997-4E WST Trust, the Series 1998-1G WST Trust, the Series 1999-1G WST Trust or the Series 2002-G WST Trust as the case may be, in relation to those Receivables and Receivable Rights as it has given to the Trustee in relation to the Sale Notice given by Westpac to the Trustee. The only difference is that in relation to the sale to the trustee of the Series 1997-1 WST Trust Westpac did not represent and warrant that on transfer to the trustee of the Series 1997-1 WST Trust of equitable title to a Purchased Receivable, the Trustee will have the benefit of the relevant Mortgage Insurance Policy for that Receivable.

ANNEXURE C

 

Independent auditor’s Annual Servicer Compliance Certificate to the Directors of Westpac Securitisation Management Pty Limited

 

SCOPE

 

We have reviewed Westpac Banking Corporation’s (“WBC”) and The Mortgage Company Pty Limited’s (“TMC” and WBC and TMC each a “Servicer”) activities for the purpose of determining its compliance with the servicing standards contained in the agreement between:

 

    WBC as servicer, Westpac Securities Administration Limited as Trustee and Westpac Securitisation Management Pty Limited as Trust Manager dated 12 March 2002, as amended, (the “2002 Servicing Agreement”);

 

    WBC, Westpac Securities Administration Limited as Trustee and The Mortgage Company Pty Limited as Trust Manager dated 18 February 1997, as amended, (the “1997 Servicing Agreement”);

 

(each a “Servicing Agreement”), respectively attached as Appendix 1A and Appendix 1B, in relation to the Series 1998-1G WST Trust, Series 1999-1G WST Trust, Series 2002-1G WST Trust and Series 2005-1G WST Trust (the “Trust”) for the year ended 30 September [*], in accordance with the statement by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission dated [*], and our engagement letter dated [*].

 

We have reviewed the servicing standards contained in the Servicing Agreement to enable us to report on whether those servicing standards are similar to those contained in the Uniform Single Attestation Program for Mortgage Bankers (“USAP”), attached as Appendix 2, which establishes a minimum servicing standard for the asset backed securities market in the United States of America. No equivalent of the USAP exists in Australia.

 

Management of the Servicer are responsible for maintaining an effective internal control structure including internal control policies and procedures relating to the servicing of mortgage loans. We have conducted an independent review of the servicing standards included in Appendix 1, in order to express a statement on the Servicer’s compliance with them.

 

Our review of the servicing standards has been conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards applicable to performance audits and accordingly included such tests and procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. In conducting our review we have also had regard to the guidance contained in the USAP. These procedures have been undertaken to enable us to report on whether anything has come to our attention to indicate that there has been significant deficiencies in the Servicer’s compliance with the servicing standards contained in the Servicing Agreement for the year ended 30 September [*].

 

Our review did not include an assessment of the adequacy of the servicing standards themselves.

 

This statement has been prepared for the use of Westpac Securitisation Management Pty Limited as at 30 September [*] in accordance with the requirements of the statement by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission dated [*], and the engagement letter dated [*]. We disclaim any

assumption of responsibility for any reliance on this review statement, to any person other than Westpac Securitisation Management Pty Limited, WBC and TMC.

 

STATEMENT
