1.2      Interpretation

         The provisions of clause 1.2 of the Master Trust Deed apply to this
         Agreement, as if set out in full, and on the basis that a reference
         in clause 1.2(e), (f), (g), (k) or (l) to "this Deed" is a reference
         to this Agreement.

1.3      Limitation of Trustee's Liability

         (a)      General

                  Clause 30 of the Master Trust Deed applies to the
                  obligations and liabilities of the Trustee and the Manager
                  under this Agreement.

         (b)      Liability of Trustee limited to its right to indemnity

                 (i)   The Trustee enters into this Agreement only in its
                       capacity as trustee of each Trust and in no other
                       capacity (except where the Transaction Documents provide
                       otherwise). Subject to paragraph (iii) below, a liability
                       arising under or in connection with this Agreement or a
                       Trust can be enforced against the Trustee only to the
                       extent to which it can be satisfied out of the assets and
                       property of the relevant Trust which are available to
                       satisfy the right of the Trustee to be exonerated or
                       indemnified for the liability. This limitation of the
                       Trustee's liability applies despite any other provision
                       of this Agreement 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 Agreement or a Trust.

                 (ii)  Subject to paragraph (iii) below, no person (including
                       any Relevant Party) may take action against the Trustee
                       in any capacity other than as trustee of the relevant
                       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.

                 (iii) The provisions of this clause 1.3 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 or exoneration out of
                       the Assets of the relevant Trust as a result of the
                       Trustee's fraud, negligence, or Default.

                 (iv)  It is acknowledged that the Relevant Parties are
                       responsible under this Agreement or 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 Agreement) will be considered fraud,
                       negligence or Default of the Trustee for the purpose of
                       paragraph (iii) above to the extent to which the act or
                       omission was caused or contributed to by any failure by
                       any Relevant Party or any person who has been delegated
                       or appointed by the Trustee in accordance with the
                       Transaction Documents to fulfil its obligations relating
                       to a Trust or by any other act or omission of a Relevant
                       Party or any such person.

                       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 Default

                  discretion permits) the Trustee must enter any premises

                  with respect to the Relevant Documents for each Relevant Trust
                  by considering the matters set out in Schedule 1.

                  Certificate) gives an "Adverse" finding (as set out in
                  Schedule 1), the Trustee must direct that auditor to conduct a
                  further audit (the Further Audit) on a similar basis to the

                  information and the Relevant Documents for the purpose of

                  auditor with respect to any audit under this clause 3.3 from
                  the Trust.

         (f)      The auditor instructed under this clause must be instructed to
                  give written reasons supporting any "Adverse" finding.

         (g)      The Custodian shall take all reasonable steps to cure any
                  non-compliance identified by an audit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         the Custodian must deliver the Relevant Documents at the Custodian's
         expense to the Trustee, or as it directs. If the Custodian has not
         done so within 10 Business Days (or such longer period as the Trustee
         in its reasonable discretion permits) of the occurrence of the
         Custodian Transfer Event or Custodian Transfer Trigger the Trustee
         must (with assistance from the Manager) enter any premises where the
         Relevant Documents are kept, take possession of and remove the
         Relevant Documents and all other documents and records relating to
         the Relevant Documents. The Custodian shall assist the Trustee in
         doing so and will do, at its expense, all things which the Trustee or
         the Manager reasonably directs it to do in relation to the Trustee
         taking possession of, and removing, the Relevant Documents and all
         other documents and records relating to the Relevant Documents. If
         the Trustee does not have possession of the Relevant Documents within
         that period it may, to the extent that it has information available
         to it to do so, lodge caveats in relation to the Receivables and
         Receivable Rights for which it does not hold the Relevant Documents.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

8.2      Limitation of liability

         The Custodian is not liable:

         (a)      in connection with anything done by it in good faith in
                  reliance upon any document, form or list provided by or on
                  behalf of the Trustee except when it has actual knowledge, or
                  ought reasonably know, that the document, form or list is not
                  genuine or accurate;

         (b)      if it fails to do anything because it is prevented or hindered
                  from doing it by any Law; or

         (c)      subject to the Corporations Law, if a person (other than a
                  delegate or agent of the Custodian) fails to carry out an
                  agreement with the Trustee or the Custodian in connection with
                  the Custodial Services (except when the failure is due to the
                  Custodian's own neglect, fraud or default).

8.3      No liability for acts of certain persons

         If the Custodian relies in good faith on an opinion, advice,
         information or statement given to it by a person, the Custodian is
         not liable for any misconduct, mistake, oversight, error of judgment,
         forgetfulness or want of prudence on the part of that person, except:

         (a)      when the person is not independent from the Custodian; or

         (b)      it would not be reasonable to rely upon the opinion, advice,
                  information or statement from the person who gives it; or

         (c)      where that person is a delegate or agent of the Custodian.

         A person will be regarded as independent notwithstanding that the
         person acts or has acted as adviser to the Custodian so long as
         separate instructions are given by the Custodian to that person.
         However, officers and employees of St.George and its Related Bodies
         Corporate will not be regarded as independent.

8.4      No liability for loss etc

         The Custodian is not liable:

         (a)      for any loss, cost, liability or expense arising out of the
                  exercise or non-exercise of a discretion by the Trustee, the
                  Manager or the Servicer or the act or omission of the Trustee,
                  the Manager or the Servicer except to the extent that it is
                  caused by the Custodian's own fraud, negligence or wilful
                  default; or

         (b)      for any loss, cost, liability or expense caused by its failure
                  to check any information, document, form or list supplied or
                  purported to be supplied to it by the Trustee, the Manager or
                  the Servicer except to the extent that the loss, cost,
                  liability or expense is caused by the Custodian's own fraud,
                  negligence or wilful default.

8.5      Method of claiming under indemnity

         The Custodian shall not be obliged to pay any indemnity under this
         Agreement, unless:

         (a)      the Trustee first establishes that there has been a breach
                  that has caused loss;

         (b)      the indemnity claimed represents no more than the loss
                  incurred as a result of the breach; and

         (c)      the Trustee first gives the Custodian a written notice
                  specifying:

                  (i)  the quantum of the claim; and

                  (ii) the basis of the claim.

8.6      Time of Payment

SCHEDULE 1


AUDIT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1.       Each audit referred to in clause 3.3 shall involve a review of the
         following:

         (a)      the custodial procedures adopted by the Custodian;

         (b)      that the Relevant Documents are capable of identification,
                  segregated by reference to the relevant Portfolio of
                  Receivables and from other mortgage title documents held by
                  the Custodian;

         (c)      that controls exist such that the Relevant Documents may not
                  be removed or tampered with except with appropriate
                  authorisation; and

         (d)      that an appropriate tracking system is in place such that the
                  location of the Relevant Documents can be detected at any
                  time.

2.       The Auditor will review a sample of the Security Packets and confirm
         that those Security Packets contain the Relevant Documents which the
         Supplementary Terms indicate that they should (including, as a
         minimum, the Receivable Security documents, and any Certificate of
         Title if issued). If the Security Packets do not contain all such
         documents the Auditor must determine if there is an adequate
         explanation for that or whether the Security Packets of the
         Custodian's records, indicate the location of the missing documents.

3.       The Auditor's certificate referred to in clause 3.3 will set out
         whether any errors detected by the Auditor in the relevant audit were
         the result of isolated non-compliance with the control system
         established by the Custodian under this Agreement or result from a
         weakness in that control system.

4.       The Auditor's certificate referred to in clause 3.3 will grade the
         custodial performance of the Custodian under this Agreement based on
         the following grades.

         (A)      Good - All control procedures and accuracy of information in
                  respect of Relevant Documents completed without exception,
                  other than immaterial and occasional variances.

         (B)      Satisfactory - Minor exceptions to compliance with control
                  procedures and accuracy of information in respect of Relevant
                  Documents

         (C)      Improvement required - Base internal controls are in place but
                  a number of issues were identified that need to be resolved
                  for controls to be considered adequate; and testing of the
                  relevant information in respect of Relevant Documents
                  identified a number of minor exceptions to compliance which
                  are the result of non-compliance with the control system

         (D)      Adverse - Major deficiencies in internal controls and the
                  relevant information in respect of the Relevant Documents were
                  identified.
