                    otherwise in accordance with the provisions of this

                    by the Principal Paying Agent of such payment.

NON-PAYMENT

               4.6  (NO OBLIGATION ON PAYING AGENTS): If the Issuer Trustee

                    agreement (except as to the time of making the payment) or
                    other arrangements satisfactory to the Principal Paying
                    Agent have been made, none of the Principal Paying Agent nor
                    any of the other Paying Agents is bound to make any payment

                    respect of the Class A Notes pursuant to clause 4.1 are
                    insufficient to satisfy all claims in respect of all
                    payments then falling due in respect of the Class A Notes,
                    the Paying Agents are not obliged to pay any such

                    claims until the Principal Paying Agent has received the
                    full amount of all such payments.

INTEREST ON OVERDUE AMOUNTS

               4.8  Without prejudice to clauses 4.3 and 4.7, if the Principal
                    Paying Agent pays any amounts to the Class A Noteholders or
                    to any other Paying Agent at the time when it has not
                    received payment in full in respect of the relevant Class A
                    Notes in accordance with clause 4.1 (the excess of the
                    amounts so paid over the amounts so received being the
                    "SHORTFALL"), the Issuer Trustee will, in addition to paying
                    amounts due under clause 4.1, pay to the Principal Paying
                    Agent on demand interest (at a rate which represents the
                    Principal Paying Agent's cost of funding the Shortfall as
                    evidenced to the Issuer Trustee by the provision of details
                    of the calculation of the cost of funding) on the Shortfall
                    (or the unreimbursed portion thereof) until the receipt in
                    full by the Principal Paying Agent of the Shortfall.

REIMBURSE OTHER AGENTS

               4.9  The Issuer Trustee authorises and directs the Principal
                    Paying Agent on demand to promptly reimburse each other
                    Paying Agent for payments in respect of Class A Notes
                    properly made by such Paying Agent in accordance with this
                    agreement and the Class A Note Conditions unless the
                    Principal Paying Agent has notified the other Paying Agents
                    prior to the opening of business in the location of the
                    office of the other Paying Agents through which payment in
                    respect of the Class A Notes can be made on the due date of
                    a payment in respect of the Class A Notes, that the
                    Principal Paying Agent does not expect to receive the amount
                    payable by the Issuer Trustee or confirmation (as the case
                    may be) under clause 4.1. The Issuer Trustee will not be
                    responsible for the apportionment of any moneys between the
                    Principal Paying Agent and other Paying Agents and a payment
                    to the Principal Paying Agent of any moneys due to the
                    Paying Agents will operate as good discharge to the Issuer
                    Trustee in respect of such moneys.

LATE PAYMENT

               4.10 Without limiting clause 4.3, if the Principal Paying Agent
                    has not received on or before the due date of any payment in
                    respect of the Class A Notes the full amount payable on such
                    date but receives such full amount later it will forthwith:

                    (a)  so notify the Issuer Trustee, the other Paying Agents
                         and the Note Trustee; and

                    (b)  upon request by the Note Trustee give notice to the
                         Class A Noteholders in accordance with the Class A Note
                         Conditions that it has received such full amount.

PARTIAL PAYMENTS

               4.11 If payment of only part of the amount payable in respect of
                    a Class A Note is made (except as a result of a withholding
                    or deduction as permitted by the Class A Note Conditions),
                    the Paying Agent to whom the Class A Note is presented shall
                    procure that such Class A Note is enfaced with a memorandum
                    of the amount paid and date of payment

<PAGE>

                                                                               9
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    and such record shall, in the absence of manifest error,
                    be prima facie evidence that the payment in question has
                    not to that extent been made. The Paying Agent shall in
                    addition notify the Note Trustee of such partial payment.

DEDUCTIONS

               4.12 The Principal Paying Agent is entitled to withhold or deduct
                    from all payments to Class A Noteholders any amounts which
                    the Issuer Trustee or the Principal Paying Agent is required
                    to withhold or deduct by any applicable law but the Global
                    Trust Manager is responsible for making all determinations
                    regarding any such withholding or deduction and to notify
                    the Issuer Trustee (which must in turn notify the Principal
                    Paying Agent) of any such withholding or deduction in
                    sufficient time for the Principal Paying Agent to withhold
                    or deduct from such payment as instructed by the Issuer
                    Trustee.

                    If the Issuer Trustee is, in respect of any payments,
                    required to withhold or deduct any amount for or on account
                    of taxes, duties, assessments or governmental charges as
                    specifically contemplated under the Class A Note Conditions,
                    the Global Trust Manager must give notice thereof to the
                    Issuer Trustee (which must in turn notify the Principal
                    Paying Agent) and the Note Trustee as soon as it becomes
                    aware of the requirement to make such withholding or
                    deduction and shall give to the Issuer Trustee such
                    information as it requires to enable it to comply with such
                    requirements.

UNPAID MONEY

               4.13 If any Class A Note becomes void or claims in respect of any
                    principal or interest payable under any Class A Note become
                    void under the Class A Conditions, the Principal Paying
                    Agent shall promptly repay to the Issuer Trustee the amount
                    received by the Principal Paying Agent (if any) which would
                    have been due on such Class A Note if it had been presented
                    for payment before it became void or such claim became
                    prescribed.

NO SET-OFF

               4.14 No Agent is entitled to exercise any right of set-off,
                    withholding, counterclaim, combination of accounts or lien
                    against or make any deduction in any payment to, any person
                    entitled to receive amounts of principal or interest of the
                    Class A Notes in respect of moneys payable by it under this

                    under the Supplemental Deed on each Payment Date to the

                    discharge of its corresponding obligations under this clause
                    4.

                    registered Class A Noteholder's absolute right to the
                    entirety of them and the receipt of a registered Class A

                         or defect in any entry in the Class A Note Register; or

                    (e)  (DEFAULT MADE): default is made or unnecessary delay
                         takes place in entering in the Class A Register that
                         any person has ceased to be the holder of Class A
                         Notes, then the Class A Note Registrar may rectify the

                    Principal Paying Agent by the day falling 10 days before the

                    termination takes effect, pay to the successor Principal
                    Paying Agent any amount held by it for payment of principal
                    or interest in respect of any Note, and shall deliver to the

                    it pursuant to this agreement and all documents (including
                    any Class A Definitive Notes) held by it.

                    it, and received from the Issuer Trustee for payment in
                    respect of the Class A Notes. Upon its resignation or
                    termination of appointment taking effect, the relevant
                    Paying Agent shall be entitled to the payment by the Issuer
                    Trustee of its commissions, fees and expenses then unpaid
                    and shall continue to be entitled to the benefit of clause

                         or

                    (b)  the Agent ceases to conduct business; or

18       MISCELLANEOUS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CERTIFICATE

               18.1 A certificate signed by the parties or its solicitors about
                    a matter or about a sum payable to the parties to this
                    agreement in connection with this agreement is sufficient
                    evidence of the matter or sum stated in the certificate
                    unless the matter or sum is proved to be false.

EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

               18.2 The parties to this agreement or an attorney appointed under
                    this agreement may exercise a right, power or remedy at its
                    discretion, and separately or concurrently with another
                    right, power or remedy. A single or partial exercise of a
                    right, power or remedy by the person does not prevent a
                    further exercise of that or an exercise of any other right,
                    power or remedy. Failure by the person to exercise or delay
                    in exercising a right, power or remedy does not prevent its
                    exercise. The person with the right, power or remedy is not
                    liable for any loss caused by its exercise, attempted
                    exercise, failure to exercise or delay in exercising it
                    except in the case of its fraud or wilful default or, in the
                    case of the Issuer Trustee, negligence, fraud or breach of
                    trust.

WAIVER AND VARIATION

               18.3 A provision of or a right created under this agreement may
                    not be waived or varied except in writing signed by the
                    party or parties to be bound.

SUPERVENING LEGISLATION

               18.4 Any present or future legislation which operates to vary the
                    obligations of the parties to this agreement in connection
                    with this agreement with

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    the result that the rights, powers or remedies of the
                    parties are adversely affected (including, without
                    limitation, by way of delay or postponement) is excluded
                    except to the extent that its exclusion is prohibited or
                    rendered ineffective by law.

APPROVALS AND CONSENT

               18.5 The parties to this agreement or an attorney appointed under
                    this agreement may give conditionally or unconditionally or
                    withhold their approval or consent in their absolute
                    discretion, unless this agreement expressly provides
                    otherwise.

REMEDIES CUMULATIVE

               18.6 The rights, powers and remedies provided in this agreement
                    are cumulative with and not exclusive of the rights, powers
                    or remedies provided by law independently of this agreement.

INDEMNITIES

               18.7 Each indemnity in this agreement is a continuing obligation,
                    separate and independent from the other obligations of the
                    parties to this agreement and survives termination of this
                    agreement. It is not necessary for the parties to this
                    agreement to incur expense or make payment before enforcing
                    a right of indemnity conferred by this agreement.

                    to the Receiver or the parties to this agreement in
                    connection with this agreement from:

                    (a)  liability for the money paid or expressed to be
                         received; and

                    (b)  being concerned to see to its application or being
                         answerable or accountable for its loss or
                         misapplication.

               18.10 The parties acknowledge and agree that in exercising their
                    powers and discretions under this agreement, and in

                    act in accordance with their duties and obligations under
                    this agreement, and they may exercise such powers and

                    not required (unless ordered so to do by a court of

                    Secured Creditor or any other person

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    confidential, financial or other information made available
                    to the parties to this agreement in connection with this

SIGNATURES

              18.14 The parties to this agreement may rely on the validity of
                    any signature on any transfer, form of application or other
                    instrument or document unless the parties to this agreement
                    (as the case may be) have reasonable grounds to believe that
                    the signature is not genuine. None of the parties to this
                    agreement are liable to make good out of their own funds any
                    loss incurred by any person if a signature is forged or
                    otherwise fails to bind the person whose signature it
                    purports to be or on whose behalf it purports to be made.
                    Any such loss, subject to any right of reimbursement from
                    any other person (including the parties to this agreement)
                    is to be borne by the relevant Trust in respect of which the
                    loss is incurred.

              18.15 The Note Trustee is a party to this agreement in its
                    capacity as trustee of the Note Trust. The liability of the
                    Note Trustee under this agreement is limited in the manner
                    and to the same extent as under the Note Trust Deed.

19       AMENDMENT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                    This agreement may be amended by the Issuer Trustee, the
                    Note Trustee and the Agents without the consent of any
                    holder of Notes, Coupons if the amendment:

                    (a)  is in the opinion of the Note Trustee made to correct a
                         manifest error or is of a formal, technical or
                         administrative nature; or

                    (b)  is considered by the Note Trustee not to be materially
                         prejudicial to the interests of the Class A
                         Noteholders.

                    Any amendment must be notified to each Current Rating

1        DEFINITIONS AND INTERPRETATION
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEFINITIONS

               1.1  The following words have these meanings in this agreement,
                    unless the contrary intention appears:

                    DEPOSITOR means HomeSide Mortgage Securities Inc., and any
                    person (including, without limitation, the Issuer Trustee in
                    its capacity as trustee of the Trust) to whom the Depositor
                    assigns the whole or any part of its rights under this
                    agreement with the prior written consent of the Seller.

                    DEFINITIONS SCHEDULE means the deed called "HomeSide
                    Mortgage Securities Trusts Definitions Schedule" dated 3
                    January 2001 and made between the companies described in

INTERPRETATION

               1.2  Except to the extent to which words and phrases are
                    otherwise defined in this agreement, words and phrases
                    defined in the Definitions Schedule shall bear the same
                    meaning in this agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, in
                    the event of any inconsistency between a definition in this
                    agreement and a definition in the Definitions Schedule, the
                    definitions in this agreement will prevail. Any amendment to
                    the Definitions Schedule will only apply to this agreement
                    if made in accordance with the Master Trust Deed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
               1.3  Clauses 1.2 to 1.5 (inclusive) of the Definitions Schedule
                    are incorporated in this agreement as though they were set
                    out in full, with references to "deed" being construed as
                    references to "agreement".

               1.4  By executing this agreement, the Seller and the Depositor
                    agree that terms used in any Transaction Document have the
                    meaning given to them in the Definitions Schedule.

                         transfer or assignment, or give any notice to, or
                         communicate with, any Debtor or Security Provider,

                    except in accordance with this agreement. The Depositor must

                    land titles office of any State or Territory of Australia
                    unless, and until, the Depositor or the Issuer Trustee of
                    the Trust declares that a Title Perfection Event has
                    occurred. The Depositor may lodge a caveat if it has actual
                    notice of the Seller taking action which will, or is likely
                    to, adversely affect the Depositor's equitable ownership of
                    the Mortgage Loan.

               4.4  (a)  Any sale of Mortgage Loans to the Depositor as
                         contemplated by this agreement and an Initial Offer to
                         Sell does not constitute an assumption by the Depositor
                         of any obligation or liability of the Seller or of any
                         other person in relation to such Mortgage Loans or any
                         other item referred to in clause 2.4. In particular,
                         the Seller retains the obligation to make such further
                         advances or provide such other financial accommodation
                         as the Seller was required to make or provide under

                    (b)  If, after the sale of any Mortgage Loans to the
                         Depositor, with the consent of the Depositor, the

                         person who is subject to the renegotiated or adjusted
                         terms, and not the Seller.

                    referred to in clause 2.4 occurring upon the Depositor
                    accepting an Initial Offer to Sell in accordance with this
                    agreement, the Seller's right, title and interest in respect

REMEDY

               5.4  (a)  (a) If the Seller or the Depositor becomes aware within
                         120 days after the Closing Date ("PRESCRIBED DATE")
                         that any representation or warranty given under clause
                         5.3 in respect of a Mortgage Loan is materially
                         incorrect when made or taken to be made (provided that
                         if either of those parties makes such a finding, it
                         must give such notice with all relevant details to the
                         other and each Current Rating Agency within 5 Business
                         Days of becoming aware but in any event not later than
                         5 Business Days prior to the Prescribed Date) and the
                         Seller does not remedy the breach to the satisfaction
                         of the Depositor within that period of 5 Business Days
                         or any longer period that the Issuer Trustee permits,
                         then without any further action required by the
                         Depositor, the Depositor's interest in the Mortgage
                         Loan will, on the Prescribed Date, be transferred to
                         the Seller. The Seller must pay to the Depositor the

                                                                             8
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         Outstanding Principal Balance of the Housing Loan which
                         comprises part of that Mortgage Loan as at the
                         Prescribed Date together with any accrued but unpaid
                         interest and any outstanding fees and other amounts
                         (excluding any Servicer's Collections) due as at the
                         Prescribed Date under such Housing Loan. The Depositor
                         will, however, retain all Collections received in
                         connection with such Housing Loan from the Acceptance
                         Date to the Prescribed Date.

                    (b)  If a representation or warranty given under clause 5.3
                         in respect of a Mortgage Loan is found or is notified
                         by the Seller after the Prescribed Date to be
                         incorrect, the Seller must pay damages to the Depositor
                         for any direct loss suffered by the Depositor as a
                         result. The maximum amount which the Seller is liable
                         to pay is the Outstanding Principal Balance of the
                         Housing Loan which comprises part of that Mortgage Loan
                         at the time of payment of the damages. This is the
                         Depositor's only remedy for a breach of any
                         representation and warranty which is found after the
                         Prescribed Date.

                    (c)  If a breach of a representation or warranty in relation
                         to the Mortgage Loans occurs, the Seller is obliged to
                         pay damages to the Depositor in accordance with clause
                         5.4(b) within 14 Business Days of receipt of notice
                         from the Depositor.

               5.5  The Seller acknowledges that the Depositor may assign to the
                    Issuer Trustee its rights and obligations under this
                    agreement (including, without limitation, the benefit of the
                    representations and warranties given by the Seller under
                    clause 5 of this agreement) and that, upon any such
                    assignment, the Issuer Trustee can enforce the relevant
                    provisions of this agreement against the Seller.

               6.1  If a Title Perfection Event is subsisting, the Depositor may

                    Depositor, the Global Trust Manager and the Seller must as
                    soon as practicable take all necessary steps to protect the
                    Depositor's interest in, and title to, the Mortgage Loans
                    forming part of the Assets of the Trust, including:

                    (a)  the execution (where necessary, executed under a Power
                         of Attorney) and lodgment of Transfers or caveats with
                         the land titles office of the appropriate jurisdiction;

                    (b)  give notice to the relevant Debtors and Security

                         relevant Mortgage Loans to any other interested person;

                    (d)  require each relevant Debtor to make all payments in
                         respect of the relevant Mortgage Loans to the
                         Collections Account.

POWER OF ATTORNEY

               6.3  The Depositor must only use a Power of Attorney to execute
                    Transfers in respect of Mortgages forming part of the
                    Purchased Mortgage Loans and only then if it has declared a
                    Title Perfection Event in accordance with clause 6.2.

8        MISCELLANEOUS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CERTIFICATE

               8.1  A certificate signed by the Depositor or its solicitors
                    about a matter or about a sum payable to the Depositor in
                    connection with a Transaction Document is sufficient
                    evidence of the matter or sum stated in the certificate
                    unless the matter or sum is proved to be false.

EXERCISE OF RIGHTS

               8.2  The Depositor may exercise a right, power or remedy at its
                    discretion, and separately or concurrently with another
                    right, power or remedy. A single or partial exercise of a
                    right, power or remedy by the Depositor does not prevent a
                    further exercise of that or an exercise of any other right,
                    power or remedy. Failure by the Depositor to exercise or
                    delay in exercising a right, power or remedy does not
                    prevent its exercise. The Depositor is not liable for any
                    loss caused by the exercise or attempted exercise of,
                    failure to exercise, or delay in exercising the right, power
                    or remedy, whether or not cause by the Depositor's
                    negligence.

WAIVER AND VARIATION

               8.3  A provision of or a right created under this agreement may
                    not be waived or varied except in writing signed by the
                    party or parties to be bound.

SUPERVENING LEGISLATION

               8.4  Any present or future legislation which operates to vary the
                    obligations of the Seller in connection with this agreement
                    with the result that the Depositor's rights, powers or
                    remedies are adversely affected (including, without
                    limitation, by way of delay or postponement) is excluded
                    except to the extent that its exclusion is prohibited or
                    rendered ineffective by law.

APPROVALS AND CONSENT

               8.5  The Depositor may give conditionally or unconditionally or
                    withhold its approval or consent in its absolute discretion
                    unless this agreement expressly provides otherwise.
