For the purpose of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (the Corporations Act) the maximum prospective liability (as defined in the Corporations Act) secured by this deed at any time is A$1,000,000,000,000 or its equivalent and the total amount recoverable under this deed is limited to A$1,000,000,000,000.

 

4. Nature of charge

 

4.1 Priority

 

The Charge is a first charge and takes priority over all Security Interests that have been granted over the Mortgaged Property.

 

4.2 Nature of Charge

 

The Charge operates, subject to clause 4.4, as a floating charge only, over all the Mortgaged Property.

 

4.3 Dealing with Mortgaged Property

 

  (a) Except with the prior written consent of the Security Trustee and (subject to clause 40.17(d)) the Noteholder Mortgagees, or as expressly permitted in any Trust Document, the Chargor shall not, and the Trust Manager shall not direct the Chargor to:

 

  (i) create or allow to exist any Security Interest (other than the charge created under this deed) over any Mortgaged Property; or

 

  (ii) in any other way:

 

  (A) dispose of;

 

  (B) create or allow any interest in; or

 

  (C) part with possession of,

 

any Mortgaged Property, except, subject to the Trust Documents, any disposal of or dealing with any asset for the time being subject to the floating charge created under this deed in the ordinary course of its ordinary business.

 

  (b) Where by law a Mortgagee may not restrict the creation of any Security Interest over an asset ranking after the Charge, paragraph (a) will not restrict that creation. However, the Chargor shall ensure that before that Security Interest is created the holder of that Security Interest enters into a deed of priority in form and substance specified by the Security Trustee.

4.4 Crystallisation

 

The floating charge referred to in clause 4.2 will automatically and immediately crystallise and operate as a fixed charge:

 

  (a) in respect of any asset:

 

  (i) upon notice to the Chargor from the Security Trustee (which it may only give following an Event of Default);

 

  (ii) if without the prior written consent of the Security Trustee (and, subject to clause 40.17(d), the Noteholder Mortgagees), the Chargor:

 

  (A) creates or allows any Security Interest (other than the charge created under this deed) over;

 

  (B) sells, leases or otherwise disposes of;

 

  (C) creates or allows any interest in; or

 

  (D) parts with possession of,

 

that asset in breach of a Trust Document, or agrees or attempts to do so or takes any step towards doing so;

 

  (iii) on the Commissioner of Taxation or his delegate or successor signing a notice under:

 

  (A) s218 or s255 of the Income Tax Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1992 (Cth);

 

  (B) s74 of the Sales Tax Assessment Act 1992 (Cth);

 

  (C) s260-5 of the Taxation Administration Act 1953 (Cth); or

 

  (D) any similar legislation,

 

which will affect that asset; or

 

  (iv) on a Government Agency taking any step which may result in an amount of Tax or an amount owing to a Government Agency ranking ahead of the floating charge with respect to that asset; or

 

  (b) in respect of all the Mortgaged Property:

 

  (i) if an Insolvency Event occurs with respect to the Chargor; or

 

  (ii) on the security constituted by this deed being enforced in any way.

 

Except where expressly stated, no notice or action by any Mortgagee is necessary for the charge to crystallise.

 

4.5 De-crystallisation

 

The Security Trustee may at any time release any asset which has become subject to a fixed charge under clause 4.4 from the fixed charge by notice to the Chargor. That asset will then again be subject to the floating charge and to the further operation of that clause. The Security Trustee must notify each Designated Rating Agency for each Class of Notes in writing of any such release.

  (c) (Insolvency) An Insolvency Event occurs in relation to the Chargor.

9. Enforcement

 

9.1 Power to enforce

 

At any time after the Charge becomes enforceable, the Security Trustee may, at its discretion and without further notice (subject to the terms of this deed) take such proceedings as it may think fit to enforce any of the provisions of this deed but it may not (subject to clause 8.2) take any action referred to in clauses 8.2(a) to (d) (inclusive) unless directed to do so by an Extraordinary Resolution of Voting Mortgagees or a written resolution signed by all Voting Mortgagees.

 

9.2 No obligation to enforce

 

Subject to clause 9.3, pending the receipt of directions from the Voting Mortgagees as contemplated by clauses 9.3 and 9.4, the Security Trustee shall not be bound to take any action or give any consent or waiver or make any determination under this deed (including, without limiting the generality of the above, to appoint any Receiver, to declare the Charge enforceable or the Secured Moneys immediately due and payable pursuant to clause 8.2 or to take any other proceedings referred to in clause 9.1). Nothing in this clause shall affect the operation of clause 4.4 or the Charge becoming enforceable prior to the Security Trustee receiving directions from the Voting Mortgagees.

 

9.3 Obligation to convene meeting

 

Following the Security Trustee becoming actually aware of the occurrence of an Event of Default in accordance with Clause 38.6, it shall, subject to clause 9.7, promptly convene a meeting of the Voting Mortgagees in accordance with this deed, at which it shall seek directions from the Voting Mortgagees by way of an Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting Mortgagees (or a written resolution signed by all Voting Mortgagees) regarding the action it should take as a result of that Event of Default including whether to do any of the things referred to in clauses 8.2(a) to (d) inclusive.

 

9.4 Security Trustee to act in accordance with directions

 

  (a) Subject to sub-clause (b), the Security Trustee shall take all action necessary to give effect to any Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting Mortgagees and shall comply with all directions contained in or given pursuant to any Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting Mortgagees.

 

  (b) The obligation of the Security Trustee pursuant to sub-clause (a) is subject to:

 

  (i) this deed; and

 

  (ii) the Security Trustee being adequately indemnified from the Trust Assets or the Security Trustee receiving from the Voting Mortgagees (or the Noteholders on whose behalf a Voting Mortgagee is acting) an indemnity in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Security Trustee (which may be by way of an Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting Mortgagees) against all actions, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may render itself liable, and all costs, charges, damages and expenses which it may incur, in giving effect to an Extraordinary Resolution of the Voting Mortgagees.

 

Page 15


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Security Trust Deed   

 

The Security Trustee shall first claim on its indemnity from the Trust Assets before it claims on any indemnity from the Mortgagees, including any indemnity provided under clause 9.5.

 

  (c) If an Event of Default is a payment default in respect of the Class B Notes, as long as there are Class A Notes outstanding that rank prior to those Class B Notes, the Security Trustee shall not take any action without the consent of the Class A Noteholders (which, shall include the Note Trustee on behalf of the Class A1 Noteholders, or the Class A1 Noteholders pursuant to the Note Trust Deed).

 

  (d) If the Security Trustee becomes bound to take steps and/or proceed under this deed and it fails to do so within a reasonable time and such failure is continuing, the Voting Mortgagees may exercise such powers as they determine by Extraordinary Resolution and then only if and to the extent the Voting Mortgagees are able to do so under Australian law and the Transaction Documents.

 

9.5 Security Trustee must receive indemnity

 

If:

 

  (a) the Security Trustee convenes a meeting of the Voting Mortgagees, or is required by an Extraordinary Resolution to take any action under this deed, and advises the Voting Mortgagees that the Security Trustee will not act in relation to the enforcement of this deed unless it is personally indemnified by the Voting Mortgagees (or the Noteholders on whose behalf a Voting Mortgagee is acting) to its reasonable satisfaction against all actions, proceedings, claims and demands to which it may render itself liable, and all costs, charges, damages and expenses which it may incur, in relation to the enforcement of this deed and put in funds to the extent to which it may become liable (including costs and expenses); and

 

  (b) the Voting Mortgagees refuse to grant the requested indemnity, and put it in funds,

 

then the Security Trustee will not be obliged to act in relation to that enforcement. In those circumstances, the Voting Mortgagees may exercise such Powers as they determine by Extraordinary Resolution.

 

In no event shall the Note Trustee be obligated to provide an indemnity to the Security Trustee under this clause 9.5.

 

9.6 Limitation on rights of Mortgagees

 

Subject to this deed, the powers, rights and remedies conferred on the Security Trustee by this deed are exercisable by the Security Trustee only, and no Mortgagee is entitled without the written consent of the Security Trustee to exercise the same or any of them. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject to clauses 9.4(d) and 9.5, no Mortgagee is entitled to enforce the Charge or the provisions of this deed or to appoint or cause to be appointed a Receiver to any of the Mortgaged Property or otherwise to exercise any power conferred by the terms of any applicable law on charges except as provided in this deed.

 

9.7 Immaterial waivers

  (b) No waiver, authorisation or determination shall be made in contravention of any directions contained in an Extraordinary Resolution of Voting Mortgagees.

 

  (c) No waiver, authorisation or determination may, once given, be overridden or withdrawn by an Extraordinary Resolution of Voting Mortgagees but the Security Trustee may (subject to clause 40.17(d), with the prior written consent of the Noteholder Mortgagees) give a waiver, authorisation or determination on terms that allow it to be overridden or withdrawn.

 

  (d) Any waiver, authorisation or determination shall, if the Security Trustee so requires, be notified to the Voting Mortgagees by the Trust Manager as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with this deed.

 

9.8 Acts pursuant to resolutions

 

The Security Trustee shall not be responsible for having acted in good faith upon any resolution purporting to have been passed at any meeting of the Voting Mortgagees in respect of which minutes have been made and signed, even though it may subsequently be found that there was some defect in the constitution of that meeting or the passing of that resolution or that for any reason that resolution was not valid or binding upon the Voting Mortgagees.

 

9.9 Overriding provision

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this deed:

 

  (a) the Security Trustee is not obliged to do or omit to do anything including entering into any transaction or incurring any liability unless the Security Trustee’s liability is limited in a manner satisfactory to the Security Trustee in its absolute discretion; and

10.5 Powers exercisable by the Security Trustee

 

Whether or not a Receiver has been appointed, the Security Trustee may exercise any Power of a Receiver at any time after the Charge becomes enforceable under this deed in addition to any Power of the Mortgagees and without giving notice.

Without limitation, it may exercise those Powers and its Powers directly or through one or more agents.

14. Performance of Chargor’s obligations

 

If at any time the Chargor fails duly to perform any obligation in any Trust Document the Security Trustee or any person it authorises may (subject to clause 40.17(d), and provided there is sufficient time to do so, with the prior written consent of the Noteholder Mortgagees) do anything which in its opinion is necessary or expedient to make good or to attempt to make good that failure to its satisfaction.

16. Application of moneys received

 

16.1 Priorities

 

  (a) The proceeds from the enforcement of the Charge are to be applied (notwithstanding any order of payment in the Series Notice) in the following order of priority, subject to any other priority which may be required by statute or law:

 

  (i) first, to pay all costs, charges, expenses and disbursements properly incurred in the exercise of any Power by the Security Trustee, the Note Trustee, a Receiver or an Attorney or other amounts (other than those referred to in paragraph (iv)) payable to the Security Trustee or the Note Trustee under this deed;

 

  (ii) second, to pay (pari passu and rateably):

 

  (A) any fees and other expenses due to the Security Trustee, the Note Trustee, the Paying Agents, the Calculation Agent or the Note Registrar;

 

  (B) any fees, and unpaid Expenses, due to the Chargor; and

 

  (C) the Receiver’s remuneration;

 

  (iii) third, to pay (pari passu and ratably), any unpaid Accrued Interest Adjustment due to an Approved Seller;

 

  (iv) fourth, to pay (pari passu and rateably):

 

  (A) all Secured Moneys owing to the Support Facility Providers (including in connection with the Liquidity Facility Agreement, the Redraw Facility Agreement, the Basis Swap and the Interest Rate Swap) but excluding moneys referred to in sub-paragraph (iv)(E);

 

  (B) all Secured Moneys owing to the Class A Noteholders (as at the date of payment);

 

  (C) all Secured Moneys owed by the Chargor as trustee of the Trust to a Relevant Trust;

 

  (D) all Secured Moneys owing in relation to any Redraws made by Westpac for which it has not been reimbursed under the Trust Documents; and

 

  (E) all Secured Moneys owing to the Currency Swap Provider under or in connection with a Confirmation relating to Class A1 Notes (but without double counting with payments under sub-paragraph (iv)(B);

 

  (v) fifth, to pay all Secured Moneys owing to the Class B Noteholders (as at the date of payment);

 

  (vi) sixth, to pay (pari passu and rateably) any amounts not covered above owing to any Mortgagee under any Trust Document;

 

  (vii) seventh, to pay (pari passu and rateably) any amounts payable under clause 5.10(a)(viii) of the Series Notice;

 

Page 23


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Security Trust Deed   

 

  (viii) eighth, to pay the holder of any subsequent Security Interest over Trust Assets of which the Security Trustee has notice of the amount properly secured by the Security Interest;

 

  (ix) ninth, to pay any surplus to the Chargor to be distributed in accordance with the Master Trust Deed and the Series Notice.

 

  (b) The surplus will not carry interest. If the Security Trustee pays the surplus to the credit of an account in the name of the Chargor with any bank carrying on business in Australia, the Security Trustee, Receiver, Mortgagee or Attorney (as the case may be) will be under no further liability in respect of it.

 

  (c) For the purposes of determining the pro rata entitlements of Class A Noteholders to amounts available for distribution under paragraph (a) (but without limiting the amounts actually available to be converted to the relevant currency at any time, or to be applied towards paying Class A Noteholders under paragraph (a)), the A$ Equivalent of the US$ denominated principal amount owed to the Class A1 Noteholders will be determined by the Trust Manager and notified to the Trustee as being the A$ amount equal to:

 

  (i) if the Currency Swap is then in full force and effect, the A$ Exchange Rate multiplied by the aggregate Secured Moneys (in US$) of the Class A1 Notes; or

 

  (ii) if the Currency Swap is not then in full force and effect, the spot rate of exchange advised to the Security Trustee by the Trust Manager which is used for calculation of amounts payable on the occurrence of an Early Termination Date under the Currency Swap (as defined in that Currency Swap) multiplied by the aggregate Secured Moneys (in US$) of the Class A1 Notes.

 

  (d) Any amount to be paid to a Class of Noteholders must be made in A$ or US$, as applicable (based on the entitlements calculated under paragraph (c) in the case of Class A1 Noteholders). All amounts held in A$ must, to the extent required to be converted to US$ after the Currency Swap has terminated, be converted to US$ at the available spot rate of exchange for acquiring US$ in the spot foreign exchange market as at the time of conversion, provided that if, following that conversion and based on their respective entitlements, any Class of Noteholders would be entitled to an amount greater than their Secured Moneys as at the relevant date of payment, the excess is to be applied (in the applicable currency) towards payment of the Secured Moneys of Mortgagees who rank equally within that Class of Noteholders.

 

16.2 Moneys actually received

 

In applying any moneys towards satisfaction of the Secured Moneys, the Chargor will be credited only with the money available for that purpose which is actually received by the relevant Mortgagee or, where the Mortgagee is a Class A1 Noteholder, the Note Trustee. The credit will date from the time of receipt.

 

16.3 Amounts contingently due

 

If any of the Secured Moneys is contingently owing to any Mortgagee at the time of a distribution of an amount under clause 16.1, the Security Trustee may retain any of that amount. If it does, it shall

 

Page 24


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Security Trust Deed   

 

place the amount retained on short term interest bearing deposit until the relevant Secured Moneys become actually due or cease to be contingently owing, or it becomes reasonably apparent that the relevant contingency will not occur and the Security Trustee shall then:

 

  (a) pay to that Mortgagee, or (where the Mortgagee is a Class A1 Noteholder) to the Note Trustee, the amount which becomes actually due to it; and

 

  (b) apply the balance of the amount retained (together with interest earned on the deposit) in accordance with clause 16.1.

 

16.4 Notice of subsequent Security Interests

 

  (a) If any Mortgagee receives actual or constructive notice of a subsequent Security Interest affecting any of the Mortgaged Property it may open a separate account in the name of the Chargor in the books of that Mortgagee.

 

  (b) If that Mortgagee does not open a new account it will be treated as if it had done so at the time it received actual or constructive notice of the Security Interest.

 

  (c) From the time the new account is opened or is taken to be opened:

 

  (i) all advances and accommodation made available by that Mortgagee to the Chargor;

 

  (ii) all payments and repayments made by the Chargor to that Mortgagee; and

 

  (iii) moneys to be applied towards the Secured Moneys under clause 16.1,

 

will be or will be taken to be debited or credited, as appropriate, to the new account. Payments, repayments and other moneys will only be applied in reduction of other Secured Moneys owing to that Mortgagee to the extent that there is no debit balance in that account.

 

16.5 Satisfaction of debts

 

Without limiting clause 31, each Mortgagee shall accept the distribution of moneys under this clause in full and final satisfaction of all Secured Moneys owing to it, and any debt represented by any shortfall that exists after any final distribution under this clause is extinguished.

 

16.6 Payments into US$ Account

 

  (a) The Chargor shall direct the Currency Swap Provider to pay all amounts denominated in US$ payable to the Chargor by the Currency Swap Provider under the Currency Swap into the US$ Account.

 

  (b) If the Chargor receives any amount denominated in US$ from the Currency Swap Provider under the Currency Swap it will promptly pay that amount to the credit of the US$ Account.

 

16.7 Payments out of US$ Account

 

  (a) The Chargor shall, or shall require that the Paying Agents on its behalf, pay all amounts credited to the US$ Account as follows and in accordance with the Note Trust Deed and the Agency Agreement.

 

  (b) All amounts credited to the US$ Account by the Currency Swap Provider in relation to a payment by the Trustee under clause 16.1(d)(ii), will be applied pari passu to pay all Secured Moneys owing to Class A1 Noteholders.

 

Page 25


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Security Trust Deed   

 

16.8 Excluded amounts

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the following amounts shall not be treated as assets of the Trust available for distribution under clause 16.1.

 

  (a) Any amounts required by law to be paid to the holder of any prior ranking Security Interest over Trust Assets of which the Security Trustee has notice which amounts are the amount properly secured by the Security Interest.

 

  (b) Any of:

 

  (i) the proceeds of, or amounts credited to, the Collateral Account as defined in the Liquidity Facility Agreement, which are payable to the Liquidity Facility Provider;

 

  (ii) any collateral or the proceeds of any collateral lodged by a Swap Provider under a Hedge Agreement, which is or are held on trust for, or which is or are otherwise payable to, a Swap Provider;

 

  (iii) the proceeds of any other cash collateral lodged by a Support Facility Provider under a Support Facility, which are payable to the Support Facility Provider.

 

This paragraph (b) shall not apply to the extent that the relevant moneys are applied in accordance with the relevant document to satisfy any obligation owed to the Chargor by the Liquidity Facility Provider, Redraw Facility Provider, Swap Provider or Support Facility Provider (as the case may be).

 

17. Other Security Interests over Mortgaged Property

 

  (a) Any Mortgagee and any Receiver or Attorney may rely on the certificate of a holder of another Security Interest affecting or purporting to affect the Mortgaged Property as to the amount and property secured by the Security Interest.

 

  (b) The Security Trustee or any Receiver may at any time pay or agree to pay the amount certified by the holder of a Security Interest or purported Security Interest to be necessary to discharge it or some indebtedness secured by it, or to acquire it. From the date of payment that amount will be part of the Secured Moneys and the Chargor shall indemnify the Security Trustee (and if other Mortgagees indemnify the Security Trustee, those other Mortgagees) and the Receiver against that amount. This applies whether or not that Security Interest or purported Security Interest was valid or prior, equal or subsequent ranking, or the property or moneys stated in the certificate were secured by it.

 

18. Protection of Mortgagees, Receiver and Attorney

 

To the extent permitted by law, neither any Mortgagee nor any Receiver or Attorney will be liable:

 

  (a) in respect of any conduct, delay, negligence or breach of duty in the exercise or non-exercise of any Power; nor

 

  (b) for any loss (including consequential loss) which results,

 

Page 26


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Security Trust Deed   

 

except where it arises from fraud or wilful default on the part of any Mortgagee, Receiver or Attorney.

 

19. Protection of third parties

 

19.1 No enquiry

 

No party to any Dealing (as defined below) and no person asked to register a Dealing:

 

  (a) is bound to enquire:

 

  (i) whether an Event of Default has occurred or whether this deed has become enforceable;

 

  (ii) whether a person who is, or purports or is purported to be, a Receiver or Attorney is duly appointed;

 

  (iii) as to the amount of Secured Moneys or whether Secured Moneys are due and payable; or

 

  (iv) in any other way as to the propriety or regularity of the Dealing; or

 

  (b) is affected by express notice that the Dealing is unnecessary or improper.

 

For the protection of any party to a Dealing or a person registering a Dealing, the Dealing will be taken to be authorised by this deed and will be valid accordingly, even if there is any irregularity or impropriety in the Dealing.

 

In this clause a Dealing is:

 

  (a) any payment or any delivery or handing over of an asset to; or

 

  (b) any acquisition, incurring of Financial Indebtedness, receipt, sale, lease, disposal or other dealing, by,

 

any Mortgagee or any Receiver or Attorney, or any person who purports or is purported to be a Receiver or Attorney.

 

19.2 Receipt

 

The receipt of any Authorised Signatory of any Mortgagee or any Receiver or Attorney (or person who purports, or is purported, to be a Receiver or Attorney) for any moneys or assets payable to, or receivable or received by, it exonerates the person paying those moneys or handing over that asset from being concerned as to their application, or from being liable or accountable for their loss or misapplication.

The Security Trustee and the Chargor may, following the giving of notice to each Designated Rating Agency, and with the written approval of the Trust Manager and (subject to clause 40.17(d)) the Noteholder Mortgagees, by way of supplemental deed alter, add to or modify this deed (including this clause 30) so long as such alteration, addition or modification is:

  (b) in the opinion of the Security Trustee necessary to comply with the provisions of any law or regulation or with the requirements of any Government Agency;

or regulation or an amendment to any law or regulation or ruling by the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner of Taxation or any governmental announcement or statement, in any case which has or may have the effect of altering the manner or basis of taxation of trusts generally or of trusts similar to the Trust); or

31.1 General

 

Clause 33 of the Master Trust Deed applies to the obligations and liabilities of the Chargor and the Trust Manager under this deed.

 

31.2 Liability of Chargor limited to its right to indemnity

 

  (a) The Chargor enters into this deed only in its capacity as trustee of the Trust and in no other capacity. Subject to this clause 31.2, the Trust Manager and the Security Trustee may enforce their rights against the Chargor, in any way arising in respect of this deed or the Trust, however a liability arising under or in connection with this deed or the Trust can be enforced against the Chargor only to the extent to which it can be satisfied out of the Mortgaged Property out of which the Chargor is actually indemnified for the liability. This limitation of the Chargor’s liability applies despite any other provision of this deed and extends to all liabilities and obligations of the Chargor 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 Chargor may not sue the Chargor in any capacity other than as trustee of the Trust or seek the appointment of a receiver (except under this deed), or a liquidator, an administrator or any similar person to the Chargor or prove in any liquidation, administration or arrangements of or affecting the Chargor.

 

Page 32


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Security Trust Deed   

 

  (c) The provisions of this clause 31.2 shall not apply to any obligation or liability of the Chargor to the extent that it is not satisfied because under a Trust Document or by operation of law there is a reduction in the extent of the Chargor’s indemnification out of the Trust Assets as a result of the Chargor’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 Trust Documents of any of the Trust Manager, the Servicer, the Note Trustee, the Currency Swap Providers, the Principal Paying Agent, the other Paying Agents, the Note Registrar or the Agent Bank (each a Relevant Party), it is acknowledged that each Relevant Party is responsible under this deed and the other Trust Documents for performing a variety of respective obligations relating to the Trust. No act or omission of the Chargor (including any related failure to satisfy its obligations under this deed) will be considered fraud, negligence or breach of trust of the Chargor for the purpose of sub-paragraph (c) 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 Chargor and for whom the Chargor is responsible under this deed or the relevant Trust 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 Chargor and for whom the Chargor is responsible under this deed or the relevant Trust Documents, but excluding any Relevant Party).

 

  (e) No attorney, agent, receiver or receiver and manager appointed in accordance with this deed or any other Trust Documents (including a Relevant Party) has authority to act on behalf of the Chargor in a way which exposes the Chargor to any personal liability and no act or omission of any such person will be considered fraud, negligence or breach of trust of the Chargor for the purpose of sub-paragraph (c), if the Chargor has exercised reasonable care in the selection and supervision of such a person.

 

31.3 Rights against Mortgaged Property preserved

 

The Mortgaged Property shall secure to the Security Trustee, and the Security Trustee shall have recourse to the Mortgaged Property for, all of the liabilities of the Chargor to the Mortgagees under the Trust Documents notwithstanding that at general law, under statute or under the Master Trust Deed the Chargor has not properly incurred such liability as Chargor or does not have a right of indemnity in relation to that liability from the Mortgaged Property or has failed to execute that degree of care, diligence and prudence required of a trustee (including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing any fraud, negligence or breach of trust).

The Security Trustee may at the expense of the Chargor obtain such advice and information from lawyers, accountants, bankers and other consultants and experts as it considers desirable to allow it to be properly advised and informed in relation to its powers and obligations. Before obtaining such advice or information (unless the advice or information relates to the Trust Manager) before the occurrence of an Event of Default, the Security Trustee shall first inform the Trust Manager of the need for the advice or information and obtain the approval of the Trust Manager, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

38.7 Security Trustee as Mortgagee

 

  (a) The Security Trustee in its capacity as a Mortgagee has the same rights and powers under the Trust Documents as any other Mortgagee. It may exercise them as if it were not acting as the Security Trustee.

 

  (b) The Security Trustee and its Associates may engage in any kind of business with the Chargor, Trust Manager and any Mortgagee or other person as if it were not the Security Trustee. It may receive consideration for services in connection with any Trust Document and otherwise without having to account to the Mortgagees.

  (v) any other fact, matter or thing which might otherwise constitute a waiver of or in any way prejudice or affect any right of an Indemnified Party.

 

  (e) (The Security Trustee’s obligation to notify) If the Security Trustee becomes aware of any matter in respect of which an Indemnified Party wishes to claim for indemnification under this clause 38.8, the Security Trustee shall promptly notify the Chargor in writing of the substance of that matter.

  (i) the Security Trustee to provide any Voting Mortgagee; and

 

  (ii) the Note Trustee and any Paying Agent to provide any Class A1 Noteholder,

 

with any information concerning the affairs, financial condition or business of the Chargor which may come into the possession of the Security Trustee or the Note Trustee (as the case may be). The Security Trustee and the Note Trustee need not do so.

 

  (b) The Security Trustee is not obliged to disclose any information relating to the Chargor if in the opinion of the Security Trustee (on the basis of the advice of its legal advisers) disclosure would or might breach a law or a duty of secrecy or confidence.

 

38.12 Conflicts

 

  (a) Subject to clause 2.2, in the event of any dispute, ambiguity or doubt as to the construction or enforceability of this deed or of any other document or the Security Trustee’s powers or obligations under or in connection with this deed or the determination or calculation or any amount or thing for the purpose of this deed or the construction or validity of any direction from the Mortgagees, the Security Trustee may:

 

  (i) obtain and rely on advice from any person referred to in clause 38.3; and/or

 

  (ii) apply to a court or similar body for any direction or order the Security Trustee considers appropriate,

 

and provided the Security Trustee is using reasonable endeavours to resolve such ambiguity, dispute or doubt, the Security Trustee, in its absolute discretion, may refuse to act or refrain from acting in relation to matters affected by such dispute, ambiguity or doubt.

 

Page 39


Series 2005-1G WST Trust Security Trust Deed   

 

  (b) The Security Trustee has no responsibility for the form or contents of this deed or any other Trust Document and will have no liability arising as a result of or in connection with any inadequacy, invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this deed or the other Trust Documents.

Without limitation the Security Trustee shall not be liable for:

  (c) any loss, expense or liability which may be suffered as a result of any assets secured by this deed, Mortgaged Property or any deeds or documents of title thereto 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 operator or by any person on behalf of the Note Trustee.

 

38.14 Security Trustee liability

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this deed, the Security Trustee will have no liability under or in connection with this deed or any other Trust Document (whether to any Mortgagee, the Chargor, the Trust Manager or any other person) other than to the extent to which the liability is able to be satisfied in accordance with this deed out of the property of the Trust Fund from which the Security Trustee is actually indemnified for the liability. This limitation will not apply to a liability of the Security Trustee to the extent that it is not satisfied because, under this deed or by operation of law, there is a reduction in the extent of the Security Trustee’s indemnification as a result of the Security Trustee’s fraud, negligence or wilful default. Nothing in this clause 38.14 or any similar provision in any other Trust Document limits or adversely affects the powers of the Security Trustee, any Receiver or Attorney in respect of the Charge or the Mortgaged Property.

A notarially certified copy proof of due execution as specified above (if applicable) shall, if required by the Security Trustee, be produced by the proxy at the meeting or adjourned meeting, but the Security Trustee shall not thereby be obliged to investigate or be concerned with the validity or the authority of the proxy named in any such appointment. The proxy named in any appointment of proxy need not be a Voting Mortgagee.

 

  (b) (Proxy remains valid) Any vote given in accordance with the terms of an appointment of proxy set out in clause 40.9(a) shall be valid notwithstanding the previous revocation or amendment of the appointment of proxy or of any of the Voting Mortgagee’s instructions pursuant to which it was executed, provided that no intimation in writing of such revocation or amendment has been received by the Security Trustee at its registered office, or by the chairman of the meeting, in each case within the 24 hours before the commencement of the meeting or adjourned meeting at which the appointment of proxy is used.

  (a) Despite any other provision of this deed, for so long as the Noteholder Mortgagees are the only Voting Mortgagees they may direct the Security Trustee to do any act or thing which the Security Trustee is required to do, or may only do, at the direction of an Extraordinary Resolution of Voting Mortgagees.

 

  (b) Neither the Security Trustee nor the Trust Manager may call a meeting of Voting Mortgagees while the Noteholder Mortgagees are the only Voting Mortgagees, unless the Noteholder Mortgagees otherwise consent.

 

  (c) Despite any other provision of this deed, at any time while an Event of Default subsists:

 

  (i) if the Noteholder Mortgagees are not the only Voting Mortgagee; and

 

  (ii) if the Noteholder Mortgagees direct the Security Trustee to enforce the Charge (in the case of the Note Trustee as a Noteholder Mortgagee, whether directed to do so by Class A1 Noteholders or, as it determines on behalf of the Class A1 Noteholders),

Page 48

  (B) respond promptly (and in any event within 15 Business Days) to the Security Trustee indicating whether the consent is granted or not (and if it does not reply within 15 Business Days its consent shall be taken to have been given); and

 

  (ii) subject to paragraph (c), if an Extraordinary Resolution of Voting Mortgagees determines that the Act should or should not occur, the Extraordinary Resolution will override any determination by the Noteholder Mortgagees in relation to any such clause.

 

  (e) The Security Trustee shall not be liable to any Mortgagee for acting, or not acting, on the directions of the Noteholder Mortgagees, even if the Security Trustee is actually aware that the Noteholder Mortgagees have unreasonably withheld their consent in breach of sub-paragraph (d)(i)(A).

 

  (f) The Note Trustee shall not be liable for giving consent or not responding to the Security Trustee in the event it does not receive a response from the Noteholder Mortgagees under paragraph (d)(i)(B) within 14 Business Days.

 

  (g) Any reference to the Noteholder Mortgagees where:

 

  (i) they are the only Voting Mortgagees; or

 

  (ii) where the consent of the Noteholder Mortgagees is required under clause 1.2(b), 4.3, 4.4(a)(ii), 5.2, 8.1(b), 8.1(g), 8.2, 9.7(a), 9.7(c), 14, 29.3, 36 or 38.1(c) in relation to a discretion or act of the Security Trustee,
