otherwise) of the Issuer and the Group.

or implied, or accepts any responsibility, with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any of the

information in this Information Memorandum. Neither this Information Memorandum nor any

credit or other evaluation and should not be considered as a recommendation by any of the Issuer,

the Dealers or the Arranger that any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any document or

information incorporated by reference herein should make any Transferable Deposit or purchase or

acquire any Securities. Each potential depositor or investor in or purchaser of Securities should

determine for itself the financial condition and affairs of the Issuer and the relevance of the information

SUMMARY OF THE PROGRAMME


The following summary does not purport to be complete and is taken from, and is qualified in its

entirety by, the remainder of this Information Memorandum and, in relation to the terms and

conditions of any particular Tranche of Securities, the relevant Pricing Supplement. Words and

expressions defined or used in ‘‘Conditions of the Securities’’ below or any Pricing Supplement in

respect of any Series of Securities (as applicable) shall have the same meanings in this summary.

This summary must be read as an introduction to this Information Memorandum and any decision to

invest in the Securities should be based on a consideration of this Information Memorandum as a

whole, including the information and documents incorporated by reference.



Issuer:

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited


Description:

An Australian Dollar denominated Debt Issuance Programme

allowing for the issuance of Transferable Certificates of

Deposit, Medium Term Notes and Subordinated Notes.


Programme Size:

Unlimited


Arranger:

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited


Dealers:

Australia and New Zealand Banking Group Limited


Additional Dealers may be appointed, from time to time, by the

Issuer for any Tranche of Securities.


Direct Issues by Issuer:

The Issuer may also issue Securities directly to purchasers or

investors (as applicable) procured by it. Such purchasers will

be required to confirm and acknowledge to the Issuer in writing

that the issue of the Securities resulted from the Securities

being offered for issue as a result of negotiations being

initiated publicly in electronic form (e.g. Reuters or

Bloomberg), or in another form that was used by financial

markets for dealing in debentures.


Method of Issue or

Acceptance of Securities:

Securities will be issued on a syndicated or a non-syndicated

basis. Securities may be issued by the Issuer in one or more

Series having one or more Issue Dates and on terms

otherwise identical (or identical other than in respect of the first

payment of interest and related matters described below), with

the Securities of each Series being intended to be

interchangeable with all other Securities of those Series. Each

Series of Securities may be issued in Tranches on the same or

different Issue Dates. The specific terms of each Tranche

(which will be supplemented, where necessary, with

supplemental terms and conditions and, save in respect of the

Issue Date, Issue Price, first payment of interest and principal

amount of the Tranche, will be identical to the terms of other

Tranches of the same Series) will be set out in a Pricing

Supplement.


Issue Price:

Notes may be issued at their principal amount or at a discount

or premium to their principal amount.



Transferable Certificates of Deposit may be issued at their

principal amount or at a discount or premium to their principal

amount (where the principal amount is equal to the amount of

the relevant Transferable Deposit accepted by the Issuer).




6


Form of Securities:

Securities will be issued in registered form. Securities will be

constituted by a deed poll dated 20 June 2001 as last

amended and restated on 21 February 2017 and as further

amended and/or restated and/or supplemented from time to

time (“Deed Poll”) given by the Issuer for the benefit of the

Registered Holders of those Securities from time to time and

will take the form of entries on a Register maintained by the

Registrar. A copy of the Deed Poll may be inspected during

normal business hours at the offices of the Issuer or the

Registrar or such other place or places as may be determined

from time to time and notified to the Registered Holders.


The terms and conditions of the Securities are contained in

Schedule 1 to the Deed Poll and are modified and

supplemented by the relevant Pricing Supplement.


Title:

Entry of the name of the person in the Register in respect of a

Security constitutes the obtaining or passing of title and is

conclusive evidence that the person so entered is the

Registered Holder of the Securities.


No certificates or other evidence of title will be issued to

Registered Holders unless the Issuer determines that

certificates should be made available or it is required to do so

pursuant to any applicable law or regulation. Securities that

are held in the Austraclear System will be registered in the

name of Austraclear Limited and title to the Securities will be

determined in accordance with the Austraclear Regulations.


Payments:

Payments will be made on the payment dates specified in the

Pricing Supplement to the persons whose names are entered

in the Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the

relevant Record Date which is the 8

th

day before a payment

date.


Payments in respect of Securities lodged within the

Austraclear System will be made by crediting the amount due

to the account of the Registered Holder in accordance with the

Austraclear Regulations. If Securities are not lodged in the

Austraclear System, payments will be made to the account of

the Registered Holder noted on the Register. If no account is

notified then payments will be made by cheque mailed on the

Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest

Payment Date or on the Maturity Date (as applicable) to the

Registered Holder at its address appearing on the Register as

at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record

Date.


Maturities:

Any maturity, subject to compliance with legal and regulatory

requirements. The Maturity Date applicable to each Tranche

of Securities will be specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement.


Denominations:

Securities will be issued in such denominations as may be

specified as the Specified Denominations in the relevant

Pricing Supplement subject to compliance with all applicable

legal and/or regulatory and/or central bank requirements.


Securities may only be issued in Australia if the aggregate




7

consideration payable by the investor or purchaser (in the

case of a Transferable Certificate of Deposit by way of a

deposit with the Issuer) is at least A$500,000 (disregarding

moneys lent by the Issuer or its associates) or if the Securities

are otherwise issued in a manner that does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 or

Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) (“Corporations

Act”).


Securities may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or

jurisdictions other than Australia if the issue is in compliance

with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the issue is made and

the Securities are otherwise issued in a manner that does not

require disclosure to investors under the laws of that

jurisdiction or those jurisdictions.


Transfer of Securities:

Securities may only be transferred in accordance with the

Conditions.


Transfers of Securities held in the Austraclear System or any

other clearing system specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement will be made in accordance with the Austraclear

Regulations or the rules and regulations of the relevant

clearing system (as appropriate). In the case of Subordinated

Notes, if a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs and the

Subordinated Notes are to be converted into Ordinary Shares,

such Ordinary Shares will be issued to the person who is a

Participant (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) in the

Austraclear System (or, in certain circumstances, to another

person nominated by the Issuer). Ordinary Shares may not be

traded in the Austraclear System. Subordinated Notes must be

converted immediately on the occurrence of a Non-Viability

Trigger Event (as described further below “Additional Security

Risks – Subordinated Notes”) and this may affect or disrupt

trading or other transactions in connection with the

Subordinated Notes. The Issuer has no responsibility for any

such effects or disruptions and the consequences of any

conversion or write-off for persons interested in the

Subordinated Notes in a clearing system are matters for the

rules, regulations and procedures of Austraclear or other

clearing system specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement

and the terms of any dealings between persons interested in

the Notes.


In all other cases, applications for the transfer of Securities

must be made by lodgement of a duly completed (if applicable)

stamped transfer and acceptance form with the Registrar.

Transfer and acceptance forms can be obtained from the

Registrar. The transfer takes effect upon the transferee’s

name being entered on the Register.


Securities are only transferable within, to or from Australia in

the denominations specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement and Securities may only be transferred within, to

or from Australia if the aggregate consideration payable by the

transferee at the time of transfer is at least A$500,000

(disregarding moneys lent by the transferor or its associates)

or the transfer otherwise does not require disclosure to

investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 or Chapter 7 of the

Corporations Act.




8


Securities may only be transferred between persons in a

jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than Australia if the transfer is

in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which transfer

takes place and the Securities are otherwise transferred in a

manner that does not require disclosure to investors under the

laws of that jurisdiction or jurisdictions.


Fixed Rate Securities:

Fixed Rate Securities will bear a fixed rate of interest payable

in arrears on the Interest Payment Date or Dates in each year

as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.


Floating Rate Securities:

Floating Rate Securities will bear interest set separately for

each Series at a rate determined by reference to a rate

appearing on an agreed screen page of a commercial

quotation service or on such other basis as may be specified

in the relevant Pricing Supplement, as adjusted by any

applicable Margin. Interest Periods and Interest Payment

Dates will be specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.


Index Linked Securities:

Payments (whether in respect of principal or interest and

whether at maturity or otherwise) in respect of, respectively,

Index Linked Redemption Securities and Index Linked Interest

Securities will be calculated by reference to such stock or

commodity or other index, currency exchange rate and/or

formula as the Issuer and the relevant Dealer or other investor

may agree (as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement).


A Subordinated Note cannot be an Index Linked Security.


Zero Coupon Securities:

Zero Coupon Securities may be issued at their Principal

Amount or at a discount to it and will not bear interest. A

Subordinated Note cannot be a Zero Coupon Security.


Interest Periods and

Interest Rates:

The length of the Interest Periods for the Securities and the

applicable Rate of Interest or its method of calculation may

differ from time to time or be constant for any Series.

Securities may have a Maximum Rate of Interest, a Minimum

Rate of Interest or both. The use of Interest Accrual Periods

permits the Security to bear interest at different rates in the

same Interest Period. All such information will be set out in

the relevant Pricing Supplement. A Minimum Rate of Interest

or Maximum Rate of Interest cannot be specified for a

Subordinated Note.


Other Securities:

The Issuer may from time to time issue Securities in a form not

contemplated by ‘‘Conditions of the Securities’’ herein. Terms

applicable to any other type of Security that the Issuer may

agree to issue and any relevant Dealer(s) or other investor

may agree to purchase under the Programme will be set out in

the relevant Pricing Supplement.


Security Risks:

The following paragraph does not describe all the risks of an

investment in the Securities. Prospective depositors,

investors or purchasers should consult their own financial, tax

and legal advisers about the risks associated with an

investment in a particular Tranche of Securities and the

suitability of investing in the Securities in light of their

particular circumstances.


An investment in Securities, the premium and/or the interest




9

on or principal of which is determined by reference to one or

more currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices

or formulae, either directly or indirectly, may entail significant

risks not associated with similar investments in a conventional

debt security, including the risks that the resulting interest rate

and/or premium may be less than that payable on a

conventional debt security at the same time and/or that an

investor could lose all or a substantial portion of the principal

of its Securities.


Neither the current nor the historical value of the relevant

currencies, commodities, interest rates or other indices or

formulae should be taken as an indication of future

performance of such currencies, commodities, interest rates

or other indices or formulae during the term of any Security.


Additional Security Risks

(Subordinated Notes):

Without in any way limiting the section above titled “security

Risks”, certain risks arise in respect of Subordinated Notes.


Subordinated Notes issued under this Information

Memorandum are subject to mandatory conversion into

ordinary shares of the Issuer (or a successor) (“Ordinary

Shares”), or write-off, if a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs.

The applicable Pricing Supplement will specify whether the

conversion option or the write-off option will apply.


If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs, on the date of such

event, (1) if the conversion option applies to the Subordinated

Notes, the Issuer will be required to convert some or all of the

principal amount of the Subordinated Notes into Ordinary

Shares, or (2) if the conversion option applies to the

Subordinated Notes but the Subordinated Notes are not

converted for any reason within five Business Days after the

conversion date, or if the applicable Pricing Supplement

specifies the write-off option, the Issuer will be required to

write off some or all of the principal amount of the

Subordinated Notes and immediately and irrevocably

terminate the rights of the holders of such Subordinated

Notes. Where a write-off occurs, investors will lose some or all

of the value of their investment and will not receive any

compensation.


It is not certain what would constitute non-viability but non-

viability could be expected to include a serious impairment of

the Issuer’s financial position.


Where Subordinated Notes are converted, investors may

receive Ordinary Shares worth significantly less than the

principal amount of the investor’s Subordinated Notes.


A Non-Viability Trigger Event could occur at any time.


There may be no market in Ordinary Shares received on

conversion and investors may not be able to sell the Ordinary

Shares at a price equal to the value of their investment and as

a result may suffer loss. The sale of Ordinary Shares in the

Issuer may also be restricted by applicable Australian law and

as a result investors may suffer loss.


In certain circumstances, the Ordinary Shares that an investor




10

would receive on conversion will be issued to a nominee, who

will sell the shares on behalf of that investor. The nominee will

have no duty to obtain a fair market price in such sale.


There are provisions of Australian law that are relevant to the

ability of any person to acquire interests in the Issuer beyond

the limits prescribed by those laws. Subordinated Noteholders

should take care to ensure that by acquiring any Subordinated

Notes which provide for such Subordinated Notes to be

converted to Ordinary Shares, they do not breach any

applicable restrictions on the ownership of interests in the

Issuer. If the acquisition or conversion of such Subordinated

Notes by the Subordinated Noteholder or a nominee would

breach those restrictions the Issuer may be prevented from

converting such Notes and where conversion is required such

Notes may be required to be written off.


The requirement for conversion or write-off on account of a

Non-Viability Trigger Event does not apply to subordinated

debt issued by the Issuer prior to 1 January 2013, and

accordingly the holders of Subordinated Notes issued under

this Information Memorandum are likely to be in a worse

position in the event of the Issuer becoming non-viable than

holders of subordinated debt issued by the Issuer without a

mandatory conversion or write-off feature.

Depending upon its performance and financial position, there

is a risk that the Issuer may default on payment of some or all

of the interest or principal on a Subordinated Note. In this

case, investor’s rights are limited to certain specified remedies

and, for example, investors do not have the right to require the

Issuer to redeem the Subordinated Note early. Although the

Conditions may specify certain remedies (for example,

seeking an order for the winding-up of the Issuer) the grant of

those remedies may be in the discretion of the court, and as

such may not be granted.


Investors should note in particular Conditions 3.3, 5A to 5D

(inclusive), 10.2 and 11 and Schedule A to the Conditions.



Ordinary Shares:

For a description of the rights and liabilities attaching to

Ordinary Shares of the Issuer issued on conversion of the

Subordinated Notes, see the section “Description of Ordinary

Shares” below.


Optional Redemption:

The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each Tranche of

Securities will state whether such Securities may be

redeemed (either in whole or in part) prior to their stated

maturity at the option of the Issuer or the Registered Holders,

and if so the terms applicable to such redemption.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Registered Holders will have

no option to require redemption of any Subordinated Notes

prior to their stated maturity. In the case of Subordinated

Notes, the Optional Redemption Date must not be earlier than

5 years from the Issue Date.


Redemption by

instalments:

The Pricing Supplement in respect of each Series of

Securities that are redeemable in two or more instalments will

set out the Instalment Amounts in which and Instalment Dates

on which the Securities may be redeemed. A Subordinated




11

Note may not be redeemable by instalments.


Redemption for tax

reasons:


In certain circumstances following notice by the Issuer, all of

the Securities of a Series may be redeemed following any

changes in tax law which give rise to an obligation of the

Issuer to make a withholding or deduction and pay additional

amounts, and in certain other circumstances (as provided in

Condition 5.2 (Redemption for Taxation Reasons)).


Redemption for regulatory

reasons (Subordinated

Notes):

The Pricing Supplement issued in respect of each Series of

Subordinated Notes will state whether those Subordinated

Notes may be redeemed if a Regulatory Event occurs (as

provided in Condition 5.2A (Redemption of Subordinated

Notes for regulatory reasons)).


Approval of APRA for

redemption (Subordinated

Notes):

The Issuer may not redeem any Subordinated Notes or

purchase, or procure that any of its Related Entities purchase,

any Subordinated Notes without the prior written approval of

the Australian Prudential Regulatory Authority (“APRA”).


Conditions to redemption

(Subordinated Notes):

The Issuer will not be permitted to redeem any Subordinated

Note unless (1) the Subordinated Note is replaced

concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory Capital of the

same or better quality and the replacement of the

Subordinated Note is done under conditions that are

sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or (2) APRA is

satisfied that the Issuer’s capital position is well above its

minimum capital requirements after the Issuer elects to

redeem the Subordinated Note.


Conversion or Write-Off

(Subordinated Notes):

Subordinated Notes will be mandatorily converted into

Ordinary Shares or written-off (as specified in the relevant

Pricing Supplement) where APRA determines that (1) such

conversion or write-off is necessary because, without it, the

Issuer would become non-viable; or (2) without a public sector

injection of capital or equivalent support, the Issuer would

become non-viable.


Status of Securities:

The status of the Securities is as set out in Condition 3

(Status).


The Issuer is an "authorised deposit-taking institution" within

the meaning of that term in the Banking Act 1959 of the

Commonwealth of Australia (the “Banking Act”).


The Securities will be direct, unsecured and general

obligations of the Issuer and:


• in the case of Securities other than Subordinated

Notes, will rank equally with all other present and

future unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of

the Issuer (other than certain debts of the Issuer

required to be preferred by the relevant law, including

without limitation amounts given priority under the

Banking Act and the Reserve Bank Act 1959 of

Australia (the "Reserve Bank Act"); and

• in the case of Subordinated Notes, will be

subordinated obligations of the Issuer and will rank

pari passu among themselves and, unless otherwise

specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank




12

pari passu with all Equal Ranking Securities.


Section 13A(3) of the Banking Act provides that, in the event

an authorised deposit-taking institution (“ADI”) (such as the

Issuer) becomes unable to meet its obligations or suspends

payment, the ADI's assets in Australia are available to meet

specified liabilities of the ADI in priority to all other liabilities of

the ADI (including the Securities). These specified liabilities

include certain obligations of the ADI to APRA in respect of

amounts payable by APRA to holders of protected accounts,

other liabilities of the ADI in Australia in relation to protected

accounts, debts to the Reserve Bank of Australia (“RBA”)

and certain other debts to APRA.


Under section 16(2) of the Banking Act, certain other debts of

the Issuer due to APRA shall have in a winding-up of the

Issuer, subject to section 13A(3) of the Banking Act, priority

over all other unsecured debts of the Issuer. Further, section

86 of the Reserve Bank Act provides that in a winding-up of

the Issuer, debts due by the Issuer to the RBA shall, subject

to section 13A(3) of the Banking Act, have priority over all

other debts of the Issuer.


The Securities will not be protected accounts in Australia or

otherwise benefit from a priority under the Banking Act and

the Reserve Bank Act.


Transferable Certificates of Deposit


Transferable Certificates of Deposit may be issued on a

senior, unsecured and unsubordinated basis and will rank at

least equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated

obligations of the Issuer, except liabilities mandatorily

preferred by law.


The Issuer does not make any representations as to whether

the Transferable Certificates of Deposit would constitute the

Issuer’s deposit liabilities in Australia for the purposes of the

Banking Act. The Transferable Certificates of Deposit do not

constitute protected accounts in Australia for the purposes of

the Banking Act.


Medium Term Notes


Medium Term Notes will constitute direct, unconditional,

senior, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the

Issuer ranking pari passu among themselves and with all

present and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations

of the Issuer (save for certain liabilities mandatorily preferred

by law including, but not limited to, amounts given priority

under the Banking Act and the Reserve Bank Act).


The Medium Term Notes do not constitute the Issuer’s deposit

liabilities, or a protected account, in Australia for the purposes

of the Banking Act.


Subordinated Notes


Subordinated Notes will constitute direct and unsecured

subordinated obligations of the Issuer and, unless otherwise




13

specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank pari

passu among themselves and, unless otherwise specified in

the applicable Pricing Supplement, rank pari passu with all

Equal Ranking Securities. Equal Ranking Securities include

the instrument known as Perpetual Capital Floating Rate

Notes and any other instruments issued after 1 January 2013

as Relevant Tier 2 Securities.


The consequence of this is that instruments issued as Lower

Tier 2 Capital prior to 1 January 2013 are not Equal Ranking

Securities but rank in a winding up of the Issuer senior to the

Subordinated Notes.


The reason for this ranking is that under APRA’s prudential

standards which came into force on 1 January 2013 in order

to qualify for Tier 2 Capital, Subordinated Notes must rank in

a winding up of the Issuer with the most junior ranking claims

which rank ahead of Common Equity Capital and Additional

Tier 1 Capital.


Since the Issuer has on issue Perpetual Capital Floating Rate

Notes and these would rank in a winding up ahead of share

capital but behind the Subordinated Notes issued prior to 1

January 2013, the Subordinated Notes are required to rank

equally with the Perpetual Capital Floating Rate Notes.


In the event of a winding-up of the Issuer, and assuming

Subordinated Notes have not been Converted or Written-Off

on account of a Non-Viability Trigger Event or redeemed,

Subordinated Noteholders will be entitled to claim for an

amount equal to the principal amount of the Subordinated

Notes then outstanding, together with all accrued and unpaid

interest thereon. The claim for this amount will be

subordinated in right of payment to all Senior Creditors as

more fully set out in Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated

Notes), Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated

Notes) and Condition 11 (Subordination). However, the claim

of Subordinated Noteholders in a winding-up will be adversely

affected if a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs. If, following a

Non-Viability Trigger Event, Notes are Converted into

Ordinary Shares, Subordinated Noteholders will have a claim

as an ordinary shareholder of the Issuer. If, following a Non-

Viability Trigger Event, Subordinated Notes are Written-Off, all

rights in relation to those Subordinated Notes will be

terminated and Subordinated Noteholders will not have their

capital repaid.


In respect of Subordinated Notes, prior to the winding-up of

the Issuer, the obligation of the Issuer to make payments

(including of any principal, additional amounts and interest) on

the Subordinated Notes will be conditional on the Issuer being

Solvent at the time of, and immediately after, such payment

by the Issuer. Any such failure to pay will not be considered

an Event of Default for the purposes of the Subordinated

Notes.


The Subordinated Notes do not constitute the Issuer’s deposit

liabilities, or a protected account, in Australia for the purposes

of the Banking Act.

ANZ may without the consent of Subordinated Noteholders

amend the terms and conditions of the Subordinated Notes to

No Set-Off (Subordinated

Neither the Issuer nor a Subordinated Noteholder has any

contractual right to set off any sum at any time due and

2 FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE


2.1 Constitution


The Securities are registered debt obligations of the Issuer constituted by and owing under the

Deed Poll. The obligations of the Issuer in respect of these Conditions and the relevant Pricing

Supplement extend to each individual Security and, following on from that, the Registered

Holder of each Security without the Registered Holder having to join forces with any other

Registered Holder or any predecessor in title of that Registered Holder of a Security.


2.2 Title


Entry of the name of the person purchasing a Security, or the transferee of a Security on the

Register at the relevant time will constitute the passing of title of that Security and will be

conclusive evidence of that person’s entitlements to receive interest and repayment of principal

in the manner provided for in these Conditions (subject to rectification for fraud or error). A

Security registered in the name of more than one person is held by those persons as joint

tenants (unless requested otherwise and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer). Securities will be

registered by name only without reference to any trusteeship. Neither the Issuer nor the

Registrar is, except as required by law, obliged to take notice of any other claim to a Security.


2.3 Independent Obligations


Each entry in the Register constitutes the separate and individual title of the Registered Holder

to the indebtedness of the Issuer to that relevant Registered Holder.




28

2.4 Location of Register


The Register will be established and maintained by the Registrar at its Registry Office unless

otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.


2.5 Denomination


(i) Securities are issued in the Specified Denominations specified in the Pricing Supplement.

Securities may only be sold in Australia if the aggregate consideration payable to the

Issuer by the purchaser (in the case of a Transferable Certificate of Deposit by way of a

deposit with the Issuer) is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the relevant

Issuer or its associates) or if the Securities are otherwise sold in a manner which does not

require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the

Corporations Act.


(ii) Securities may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than

Australia if the issue is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the issue or

sale is made and the Securities are otherwise issued or sold in a manner that does not

require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those jurisdictions.


2.6 Austraclear


If Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, the Registrar will enter Austraclear in the

Register as the Registered Holder of those Securities. While those Securities remain in the

Austraclear System, all dealings (including transfers and payments) in relation to those

Securities within the Austraclear System will be governed by the regulations for the Austraclear

System and need not comply with these Conditions to the extent of any inconsistency provided

that, in respect of Subordinated Notes, the regulations of the Austraclear System do not

override these Conditions if it would impact the eligibility of the Subordinated Notes as Tier 2

Capital.


2.7 Certificates


No certificate or other evidence of title will be issued by or on behalf of the Issuer to evidence

title to a Security unless the Issuer determines that such certificates should be made available

or it is required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.


2.8 Acknowledgment


Where Austraclear is recorded in the Register as the Registered Holder, each person in whose

Security Record (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) that Security is recorded is deemed

to acknowledge in favour of the Registrar and Austraclear that:


(i) the Registrar’s decision to act as the Registrar of the Security does not constitute a

recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to the

Security but only indicates that such Security is considered by the Registrar to be

compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under its agreement

with the Issuer to act as Registrar of the Security; and


(ii) the Registered Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to

Condition 2.8(i).


2.9 Australian Securities Exchange Listing


Securities which are listed on the Australian Securities Exchange will not be transferred through

or registered on CHESS and will not be CHESS approved securities. In the event that an

interface between the Register maintained by the Registrar and CHESS is established the

Conditions and any other Programme documents may be amended to facilitate settlement on

CHESS and so that the Securities will become CHESS approved securities.




29

3. STATUS


The Securities may be Transferable Certificates of Deposit, Medium Term Notes or

Subordinated Notes as specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement.


The Issuer is an "authorised deposit-taking institution" within the meaning of that term in the

Banking Act.


The Securities are not protected accounts in Australia or otherwise benefit from a priority under

the Banking Act or other applicable law.


3.1 Transferable Certificates of Deposit


Transferable Certificates of Deposit constitute senior, direct, unconditional, unsecured and

unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer and will rank at least equally with all other unsecured

and unsubordinated obligations of the Issuer, except liabilities mandatorily preferred by law.


The Issuer does not make any representations as to whether the Transferable Certificates of

Deposit would constitute the Issuer’s deposit liabilities in Australia for the purposes of the

Banking Act. The Transferable Certificates of Deposit are not protected accounts in Australia

for the purposes of the Banking Act.


3.2 Medium Term Notes


The Medium Term Notes constitute senior, direct, unconditional and unsecured obligations of

the Issuer and rank pari passu among themselves and pari passu with all other present and

future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of the Issuer (save for certain liabilities

mandatorily preferred by law including, but not limited to, amounts given priority under the

Banking Act and the Reserve Bank Act).


The Medium Term Notes rank senior to the Issuer's subordinated obligations, including the

Subordinated Notes.

The Medium Term Notes are not deposit liabilities of the Issuer, or protected accounts, in

Australia for the purposes of the Banking Act.


3.3 Subordinated Notes


The Subordinated Notes constitute direct and unsecured subordinated obligations of the Issuer

and, unless otherwise specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement and subject to Conditions

5A to 5C (inclusive), rank pari passu among themselves and with Equal Ranking Securities. In

the event of the winding-up of the Issuer (see Condition 11 (Subordination)) and prior to the

commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (see Condition 4.10), the principal amount of,

any interest on, and any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the

Subordinated Notes will rank behind all claims of Senior Creditors and subject to Conditions 5A

to 5C (inclusive), pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities and ahead of Junior Ranking

Securities.


Neither the Issuer nor a Subordinated Noteholder has any contractual right to set off any sum at

any time due and payable to a Subordinated Noteholder or the Issuer (as applicable) under or in

relation to the Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the Subordinated Noteholder to

the Issuer or by the Issuer to the Subordinated Noteholder (as applicable).


The Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of liabilities ranking senior to the Subordinated

Notes that may be hereafter incurred or assumed by the Issuer.

The Subordinated Notes do not constitute the Issuer’s deposit liabilities, or a protected account,

in Australia for the purposes of the Banking Act.

4. INTEREST AND OTHER CALCULATIONS


4.1 Interest on Fixed Rate Securities


Each Fixed Rate Security bears interest on its outstanding Principal Amount from, and

including, the Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage)

equal to the Rate of Interest, such interest being payable in arrears on each Interest Payment

Date. If a Fixed Coupon Amount or a Broken Amount is specified in the applicable Pricing

Supplement, the amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will amount to the

Fixed Coupon Amount or, if applicable, the Broken Amount so specified and in the case of the

Broken Amount will be payable on the particular Interest Payment Date(s) specified in the

applicable Pricing Supplement.


4.2 Interest on Floating Rate Securities and Index Linked Interest Securities


(i) Interest Payment Dates: Each Floating Rate Security and Index Linked Interest

Security bears interest on its outstanding Principal Amount from the Interest

Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the

Rate of Interest, such interest being payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date.

Such Interest Payment Date(s) is/are either specified in the Pricing Supplement as the

Interest Payment Dates or, if no Interest Payment Date(s) are specified, Interest

Payment Date shall mean each date which falls the number of months or other period

shown in the Pricing Supplement as the Interest Period after the preceding Interest

Payment Date or, the case of the first Interest Payment Date, after the Interest

Commencement Date.


(ii) Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Securities: The Rate of Interest in respect of Floating

Rate Securities for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined in the manner

specified in the Pricing Supplement and the provisions below relating to Screen Rate

Determination shall apply (as amended by the Pricing Supplement).


Screen Rate/Reference Bank Determination (non BBSW)


(x) If Screen Rate Determination is specified in the Pricing Supplement as

the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined and the

Rate of Interest specified in the Pricing Supplement is a rate other than

“BBSW”, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Accrual Period shall be

(as determined by the Calculation Agent) on the following basis:


(I) if the Reference Rate is a composite quotation or a quotation

customarily supplied by one entity, the Calculation Agent will

determine the Reference Rate which appears on the Relevant

Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on the

relevant Interest Determination Date; or


(II) in any other case, the Calculation Agent will determine the

arithmetic mean of the Reference Rates which appear on the

Relevant Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on

the relevant Interest Determination Date;



(y) if paragraph (x)(I) above applies and no Reference Rate appears on

the Relevant Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on

the Interest Determination Date or if sub-paragraph (x)(II) applies and

fewer than two Reference Rates appear on the Relevant Screen Page

at the then prevailing Publication Time on the Interest Determination

Date or if, in either case, the Relevant Screen Page is unavailable,

subject as provided below, the Rate of Interest shall be the arithmetic

mean of the Reference Rates that each of the Reference Banks is




31

quoting (or such of them, being at least two, as are so quoting) to

leading banks in the Relevant Financial Centre at the Publication Time

on the Interest Determination Date, as determined by the Calculation

Agent; and


(z) if paragraph (y) above applies and the Calculation Agent determines

that fewer than two Reference Banks are so quoting the Reference

Rate, subject as provided below, the Rate of Interest shall be the

arithmetic mean of the rates per annum (expressed as a percentage)

that the Calculation Agent determines to be the rates (being the

nearest equivalent to the Reference Rate) that at least two out of five

leading banks selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with

the Issuer) in the Relevant Financial Centre, are quoting at or about the

then prevailing Publication Time for a period equivalent to the relative

Interest Accrual Period to leading banks carrying on business in the

Relevant Financial Centre; except that, if fewer than two of such banks

are so quoting to such leading banks, the Rate of Interest shall be the

Rate of Interest determined on the previous Interest Determination

Date (after readjustment for any difference between any Margin, Rate

Multiplier or Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest applicable to the

preceding Interest Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest Accrual

Period).


Screen Rate Determination - BBSW


(aa) If Screen Rate Determination is specified in the Pricing Supplement as

the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined and the

Rate of Interest specified in the Pricing Supplement is “BBSW”, the

Rate of Interest for each Interest Accrual Period shall be the rate

(expressed as an interest rate per annum and rounded up, if

necessary, to the fourth decimal place) for prime bank eligible

securities having a tenor approximately equal to the relevant Interest

Accrual Period which is designated as the “AVG MID” on the Thomson

Reuters Screen “BBSW” Page (“BBSW Page”) at the then prevailing

Publication Time;


(bb) If the Reference Rate does not appear on the BBSW Page at the then

prevailing Publication Time, the Rate of Interest shall be determined in

good faith by the Calculation Agent on the Interest Determination Date,

having regard, to the extent possible, to the rates otherwise bid and

offered at or around the time which is 15 minutes after the then

prevailing Publication Time on the Interest Determination Date for

prime bank eligible securities having a tenor approximately equal to the

relevant Interest Accrual Period; and if such rates are not available, the

rates otherwise bid or offered at or around the time which is 15 minutes

after the then prevailing Publication Time on the Interest Determination

Date for funds having a tenor approximately equal to the Interest

Accrual Period; and


(cc) If the Calculation Agent is unable to determine the Rate of Interest in

accordance with paragraph (bb), the Rate of Interest shall be the Rate

of Interest determined on the previous Interest Determination Date

(after readjustment for any difference between any Margin, Rate

Multiplier or Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest applicable to the

preceding Interest Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest Accrual

Period).


Any reference in these Conditions or in a Pricing Supplement to a screen page on

Reuters or on Bloomberg or other service means the display page so designated on the

Thomson Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service or the Bloomberg Professional®




32

service or such other service (or any successor service of any of these services), as the

case may be, or such other page as may replace such page for the purpose of

displaying the relevant rate.


(iii) Rate of Interest for Index Linked Interest Securities: The Rate of Interest in respect of

Index Linked Interest Securities for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined in

the manner specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and interest will accrue by

reference to an Index or formula as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.


(iv) Linear Interpolation: If the Pricing Supplement states that “Linear Interpolation” applies

to an Interest Period, the Calculation Agent must determine the Rate of Interest for that

Interest Period using straight line interpolation by reference to two rates determined

using the Screen Rate Determination or other floating rates, in each case, as specified

in the Pricing Supplement. The first rate must be determined as if the Interest Period

were the period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the length of the

Interest Period (or any alternative Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).

The second rate must be determined as if the Interest Period were the period of time for

which rates are available next longer than the length of the Interest Period (or any

alternative Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).


4.3 Zero Coupon Securities


Where a Security, the Interest Basis of which is specified in the Pricing Supplement to be Zero

Coupon, is repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amount due and

payable prior to the Maturity Date shall be the Early Redemption Amount of such Security,

unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement. As from the Maturity Date, the Rate of

Interest for any overdue principal of such a Security shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a

percentage) equal to the Amortisation Yield.


4.4 Accrual of Interest


Interest shall cease to accrue on each Security on the due date for redemption unless payment

is improperly withheld or refused, in which event interest shall continue to accrue (as well after

as before judgment) on the outstanding Principal Amount of the Security at the Rate of Interest

in the manner provided in this Condition 4 to the Relevant Date.


4.5 Margin, Maximum/Minimum Rates of Interest, Instalment Amounts and Redemption

Amounts, Rate Multipliers and rounding


(i) If any Margin or Rate Multiplier is specified in the Pricing Supplement (either (x)

generally, or (y) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment shall

be made to all Rates of Interest, in the case of (x), or the Rates of Interest for the

specified Interest Accrual Periods, in the case of (y), calculated in accordance with 4.2

above by adding (if a positive number) or subtracting (if a negative number) the

absolute value of such Margin or multiplying by such Rate Multiplier, subject always to

the next paragraph;


(ii) If any Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or

Optional Redemption Amount is specified in the Pricing Supplement, then any Rate of

Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or Optional Redemption Amount shall be

subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be;


(iii) Subject to the requirements of applicable law and, where the Securities are lodged in

the Austraclear System, the Austraclear Regulations, for the purposes of any

calculations required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified), (x) all

percentages resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the

nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded up),

(y) all figures shall be rounded to seven decimal places (with halves being rounded up)

and (z) all currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded to the nearest

cent (with one half cent being rounded up).




33


4.6 Calculations


The amount of interest payable in respect of any Security for any Interest Accrual Period shall,

subject where that Security is lodged in the Austraclear System, to the Austraclear Regulations,

be calculated by multiplying the product of the Rate of Interest and the outstanding Principal

Amount of such Security by the Day Count Fraction, unless an Interest Amount (or a formula for

its calculation) is specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of such period, in which case

the amount of interest payable in respect of such Security for such period shall equal such

Interest Amount (or be calculated in accordance with such formula). Where any Interest Period

comprises two or more Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable in respect of

such Interest Period shall be the sum of the amounts of interest payable in respect of each of

those Interest Accrual Periods.


4.7 Determination and Publication of Rate of Interest, Interest Amounts, Early, Final or

Optional Redemption Amounts and Instalment Amounts


As soon as practicable after the Relevant Time on each Interest Determination Date or such

other time on such date as the Calculation Agent may be required to calculate any rate or

amount, obtain any quotation or make any determination or calculation, it shall determine such

rate and calculate the Interest Amounts in respect of each Specified Denomination of the

Securities for the relevant Interest Accrual Period, calculate the Final Redemption Amount,

Early Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Optional Redemption Amount, obtain such

quotation or make such determination or calculation, as the case may be, and cause the Rate of

Interest and the Interest Amounts for each Interest Accrual Period and the relevant Interest

Payment Date and, if required to be calculated, the Final Redemption Amount, Early

Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Optional Redemption Amount to be notified to the

Issuer, the Registrar (which will then notify the Registered Holders of the calculation as required

by the Issuer to the address of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register), any other

Calculation Agent appointed in respect of the Securities that is to make a further calculation

upon receipt of such information and, if the Securities are listed on a stock exchange and the

rules of such exchange so require, such exchange as soon as possible after their determination

but in no event later than (y) the commencement of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, if

determined prior to such time in the case of notification to such exchange of a Rate of Interest

and Interest Amount, or (z) in all other cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination.

Where any Interest Payment Date or Interest Accrual Period is subject to adjustment pursuant

to the application of a Business Day Convention, the Interest Amounts and the Interest Payment

Date so published may subsequently be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements

made by way of adjustment) without notice in the event of an extension or shortening of the

Interest Accrual Period. If the Securities become due and payable under Condition 10 (Events

of Default), the accrued interest and the Rate of Interest payable in respect of the Securities

shall nevertheless continue to be calculated as previously in accordance with this Condition but

no publication of the Rate of Interest or the Interest Amount so calculated need be made. The

determination of any rate or amount, the obtaining of each quotation and the making of each

determination or calculation by the Calculation Agent(s) shall (in the absence of manifest error)

be final and binding upon all parties.


4.8 Calculation Agent and Reference Banks


If the Pricing Supplement specifies that Reference Banks are applicable, Issuer shall procure

that there shall at all times be four Reference Banks (or such other number as may be required)

with offices in the Relevant Financial Centre and one or more Calculation Agents if provision is

made for them in the Pricing Supplement and for so long as any Security is outstanding. If any

Reference Bank (acting through its relevant offices) is unable or unwilling to continue to act as a

Reference Bank, then the Issuer shall appoint another Reference Bank with an office in the

Relevant Financial Centre to act as such in its place. Where more than one Calculation Agent

is appointed in respect of the Securities, references in these Conditions to the Calculation Agent

shall be construed as each Calculation Agent performing its respective duties under the

Conditions. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or if the Calculation

Agent fails duly to establish the Rate of Interest for an Interest Accrual Period or to calculate any




34

Interest Amount, Instalment Amount, Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount or

Optional Redemption Amount or to comply with any other requirement, the Issuer shall appoint

a leading bank or investment banking firm engaged in the interbank market (or, if appropriate,

money, swap or over-the-counter index options market) that is most closely connected with the

calculation or determination to be made by the Calculation Agent to act as such in its place.

The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed as

aforesaid.


4.9 Certificates to be final


All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and

decisions given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this

Condition 4 shall (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the

Issuer, the Calculation Agent, the Registrar and all Registered Holders, and (in the absence of

wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) no liability to the Issuer or the Registered Holders,

shall attach to the Calculation Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its

powers, duties and discretions pursuant to such provisions.


4.10 Conditions of Payment – Subordinated Notes


Prior to the commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection

with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency):


(i) the obligations of the Issuer to make payments of principal of, any interest on, and

any other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated

Notes will be conditional on the Issuer being Solvent at the time of payment by the

Issuer; and


(ii) no payment of principal of, any interest on, and any other payments, including

additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes shall be made unless the

Issuer is Solvent immediately after making the payment,


and if, pursuant to this Condition, the Issuer fails to make any payment of principal of, or

interest on, or any other payment, including additional amounts, in respect of any

Subordinated Note when due, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default for the

purposes of Condition 10.2(ii).


A certificate signed by the Issuer, two authorised signatories or an auditor of the Issuer or, if the

Issuer is being wound up, its liquidator as to whether the Issuer is Solvent at any time is (in the

absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error) conclusive evidence of the information

contained in the certificate and will be binding on the Subordinated Noteholders. In the absence

of any such certificate, the Subordinated Noteholders are entitled to assume (unless the

contrary is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately

after, any payment on or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.


5. REDEMPTION, PURCHASE AND OPTIONS


5.1 Redemption by Instalments and Final Redemption


(i) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided in this Condition 5

or unless the relevant Instalment Date (being one of the dates so specified in the Pricing

Supplement) is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any provision of the relevant

Pricing Supplement, each Security that provides for Instalment Dates and Instalment

Amounts shall be partially redeemed on each Instalment Date at the related Instalment

Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement. The outstanding Principal Amount of each

such Security shall be reduced by the Instalment Amount (or, if such Instalment Amount

is calculated by reference to a proportion of the Principal Amount of such Security, such

proportion) for all purposes with effect from the related Instalment Date, unless payment

of the Instalment Amount is improperly withheld or refused, in which case, such amount




35

shall remain outstanding until the Relevant Date relating to such Instalment Amount. A

Subordinated Note will not provide for redemption by instalments.


(ii) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided below or Written-Off

or Converted as provided in Condition 5A or its maturity is extended pursuant to the

Conditions or any provision of the relevant Pricing Supplement, each Security shall be

finally redeemed on the Maturity Date specified in the Pricing Supplement at its Final

Redemption Amount or, in the case of a Security falling within paragraph (i) above, its

final Instalment Amount.


5.2 Redemption for taxation reasons


If, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of Australia or any

political subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the

application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment

becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (and in respect of any Subordinated Note, which

the Issuer did not expect as at the Issue Date of that Subordinated Note) of any Security (as

specified in the Pricing Supplement):


(i) in the case of any Note, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay any additional

amounts as provided in Condition 8 (Taxation);


(ii) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement,

the Issuer or the consolidated tax group of which it is a member would be exposed to

more than a de minimis amount of other taxes, levies, imposts, charges and duties

(including stamp and transaction duties) imposed by any authority together with any

related interest, penalties and expenses in connection with them, assessments or other

governmental charges in connection with any Security; or


(iii) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement,

the Issuer determines that any interest payable on any Security is not, or may not be,

allowed as a deduction for the purposes of Australian income tax,


the Issuer may at its option, at any time (if the Security is neither a Floating Rate Security nor an

Index Linked Interest Security) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Floating Rate

Securities or Index Linked Interest Securities) and subject to Condition 5.8 in the case of any

Subordinated Note, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Registered

Holders of the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only,

of the Securities of the relevant Series at their Early Redemption Amount together with interest

accrued to the date fixed for redemption, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be

given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay

such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due. Prior to the

publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5.2, the Issuer shall deliver to

the Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director, a Senior

Executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the Issuer stating that the

Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts showing

that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.


5.2A Redemption of Subordinated Notes for regulatory reasons


If specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, if a Regulatory Event occurs, the Issuer may at

its option, at any time (if the Subordinated Note is not a Floating Rate Security) or on any

Interest Payment Date (in the case of a Subordinated Note that is a Floating Rate Security) and

subject to Condition 5.8 on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the

Subordinated Noteholders of the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all,

but not some only, of the Subordinated Notes of the relevant Series at their Early Redemption

Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Prior to the publication

of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5.2A, the Issuer shall deliver to the

Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director, a Senior

Executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the Issuer stating that the




36

Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts showing

that the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.


For the purposes of this Condition, “Regulatory Event” means the receipt by the

directors of the Issuer of:


(i) an opinion from a reputable legal counsel that as a result of any amendment to,

clarification of or change (including any announcement of a change that has

been or will be introduced) in, any law or regulation of Australia, or any official

administrative pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such

laws or regulations, which amendment, clarification or change is effective,

or pronouncement, action or decision is announced, after the Issue Date; or


(ii) an official written statement from APRA,


that, in each case, the Issuer is not or will not be entitled to treat all Subordinated Notes of a

Series as Tier 2 Capital, provided that, in each case, on the Issue Date of the Subordinated

Notes, the Issuer did not expect that matters giving rise to the Regulatory Event would occur.


5.3 Early Redemption of Zero Coupon Securities


(i) The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Security that

does not bear interest prior to the Maturity Date, the Early Redemption Amount of which

is not linked to an index and/or a formula, upon redemption of such Security pursuant to

Condition 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition

10 (Events of Default), shall be the Amortised Face Amount (calculated as provided

below) of such Security unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement.


(ii) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (iii) below, the “Amortised Face Amount”

of any such Security shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Security

on the Maturity Date discounted to the date of its early redemption at a rate per annum

(expressed as a percentage) equal to the “Amortisation Yield” (which, if none is set

out in the Pricing Supplement, shall be such rate as would produce an Amortised Face

Amount equal to the Issue Price of the Securities if such Securities were discounted

back from the Maturity Date to the relevant Issue Date) compounded annually. Where

such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on the

basis of the Day Count Fraction set out in the Pricing Supplement.


(iii) If the Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Security upon its

redemption pursuant to Condition 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 or upon it becoming due and payable

as provided in Condition 10 (Events of Default), is not paid when due, the Early

Redemption Amount due and payable in respect of such Security shall be the Amortised

Face Amount of such Security as defined in sub-paragraph (ii) above, except that such

sub-paragraph shall have effect as though the reference therein to the date on which

the Security becomes due and payable were replaced by a reference to the Relevant

Date. The calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-

paragraph shall continue to be made (after, as well as before, judgment) until the

Relevant Date, unless the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which

case the amount due and payable shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of

such Security on the Maturity Date together with any interest that may accrue in

accordance with Condition 4.4.


Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on the

basis of the Day Count Fraction.


5.4 Redemption at the Option of the Issuer and Exercise of the Issuer's Options


If a Call Option is included in the Pricing Supplement and subject to Condition 5.8 in the case of

any Subordinated Note, the Issuer may, on giving not less than five or more than 30 days’

irrevocable notice (subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the Pricing




37

Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”) to the Registered Holders redeem or exercise any

Issuer’s option (as may be described in the Pricing Supplement) in relation to all or, if so

provided, some of the Securities on any Optional Redemption Date (which, in the case of a

Subordinated Note, may not be before the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date of that

Subordinated Note). Any such redemption of Securities shall be at their Optional Redemption

Amount together with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Any such redemption or

exercise of the Issuer's option shall just relate to Securities of a Principal Amount at least equal

to the Minimum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement and

no greater than the Maximum Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing

Supplement.


All Securities in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed, or the Issuer’s

option shall be exercised, on the date specified in such notice in accordance with this Condition.


In the case of a partial redemption or a partial exercise of an Issuer’s option, the notice to

Registered Holders shall also contain details of the Principal Amount of Securities to be

redeemed or in respect of which such option has been exercised, which shall have been drawn

in such place as may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to prevailing

market practices and in such manner as it deems appropriate, subject to compliance with any

applicable laws and stock exchange requirements.


5.5 Redemption at the Option of Registered Holders and Exercise of Registered Holders'

Options


If a Put Option is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer shall, at the option of the

Registered Holder of such Security, upon the Registered Holder of such Security giving not less

than 15 nor more than 30 days’ notice to the Issuer (subject to such other notice period as may

be specified in the Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”), redeem such Security on

the Optional Redemption Date(s) so provided at its Optional Redemption Amount together with

interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. No such notice may be withdrawn without the

prior consent of the Issuer or if, prior to the due date for its redemption or the exercise of the

option, the relevant Security becomes immediately due and payable.


To exercise such option or any other Registered Holder’s option that may be set out in the

Pricing Supplement, the Registered Holder must complete, sign and deliver to the Registrar

within the notice period, a redemption notice (in the form obtainable from the Registrar) together

with any Certificate held by the Registered Holder relating to the Securities to be transferred and

such evidence as the Registrar may require to establish the rights of that Registered Holder to

the relevant Securities.


A Put Option may not be specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of Subordinated Notes.


5.6 Purchases


The Issuer is taken to represent as at the date of issue of each Security, that it does not know or

have any reasonable grounds to suspect that that Security or any interest in or right in respect

of that Security is being or will later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an Offshore

Associate of the Issuer acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter in

relation to the placement of the Securities or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or

responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act.


The Issuer and:


(i) in the case of the Subordinated Notes, any of its Related Entities; and


(ii) in any other case, any of its subsidiaries,


may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and subject to Condition 5.8 in

the case of any Subordinated Note, at any time purchase Securities in the open market or

otherwise. Securities purchased by the Issuer, any of its Related Entities or any of its




38

subsidiaries may be surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer to the Registrar for

cancellation or, may be held or resold, in each case at the option of the Issuer, the relevant

Related Entity or the relevant subsidiary. In the event that Securities are purchased by the

Issuer, any of its Related Entities or any of its subsidiaries but not cancelled the Issuer, the

relevant Related Entity or the relevant subsidiary will relinquish any voting rights in respect of

those purchased Securities.




5.7 Cancellation


All Securities redeemed by the Issuer or surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer for

cancellation shall be surrendered for cancellation by the Issuer or purchaser notifying the

Registrar and surrendering to the Registrar any Certificates held by the Registered Holder

relating to the Securities to be cancelled by the Registrar and if so surrendered, the Securities

will be cancelled forthwith. Any Securities so surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued

or resold and the obligations of the Issuer in respect of any such Securities shall be discharged.


5.8 Consent of APRA


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Condition 5, the Issuer may not (i) redeem any

Subordinated Notes under Conditions 5.2, 5.2A or 5.4 above or (ii) prior to the Maturity Date

purchase, or procure that any of its Related Entities purchase, any Subordinated Notes under

Condition 5.6 above without the prior written approval of APRA. In addition, the prior written

approval of APRA is required to modify, abrogate, vary or compromise the terms of any Series

of Subordinated Notes where such action may affect the eligibility of such Subordinated Notes

as Tier 2 Capital.


Subordinated Noteholders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be given for any

redemption or purchase of Subordinated Notes.


5.9 Conditions to redemption for Subordinated Notes


Without limiting Condition 5.8, the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem any Subordinated

Note unless the Subordinated Note is replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory

Capital of the same or better quality and the replacement of the Subordinated Note is done

under conditions that are sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied that

the Issuer’s capital position is well above its minimum capital requirements after the

Issuer elects to redeem the Subordinated Note.


5A. Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Non-Viability Trigger Event


5A.1. Application to Subordinated Notes only


Conditions 5A, 5B and 5C apply only to Subordinated Notes. Schedule A to these Conditions

(including the defined terms therein) shall be deemed to form part of, and be incorporated in,

Condition 5B.


5A.2 Non-Viability Trigger Event


A “Non-Viability Trigger Event” means the earlier of:


(i) the issuance to the Issuer of a written determination from APRA that conversion or

write-off of Relevant Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that

the Issuer would become non-viable; or


(ii) a determination by APRA, notified to the Issuer in writing, that without a public sector

injection of capital, or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-viable,


each such determination being a “Non-Viability Determination”.




39

5A.3 Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:


(i) on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to Condition 5B.5, such Principal Amount of the

Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is applicable

as specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is required by the Non-Viability

Determination provided that:


(a) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 5A.2(i) and such

Non-Viability Determination does not require all Relevant Securities to be

converted into Ordinary Shares or written-off, such Principal Amount of the

Subordinated Notes shall Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is applicable as

specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in

accordance with Condition 5A.3(ii)) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable

without further conversion or write-off; and


(b) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 5A.2(ii), all the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be

Written-Off (whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement).


(ii) the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes which must be

Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in accordance with Condition 5A.3(i)(a), on

the following basis:


(a) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1 Securities; and


(b) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares or write-off of all Relevant Tier 1

Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Condition 5A.3(i)(a)

(and provided that as a result of the conversion or write-off of Relevant Tier 1

Capital Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-Viability Determination),

Convert or Write-Off (as applicable) a Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes

and convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off a number or principal amount of

other Relevant Tier 2 Securities on an approximately pro-rata basis or in a

manner that is otherwise, in the opinion of the Issuer, fair and reasonable

(subject to such adjustment as the Issuer may determine to take into account

the effect on marketable parcels and the need to round to whole numbers the

number of Ordinary Shares and the authorised denominations of the Principal

Amount of any Subordinated Note or the number or principal amount of other

Relevant Tier 2 Securities remaining on issue, and the need to effect the

conversion immediately) and, for the purposes of this Condition 5A.3(ii)(b),

where the specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant Tier 2

Securities is not the same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities, the Issuer may treat

them as if converted into a single currency of the Issuer’s choice at such rate of

exchange as the Issuer in good faith considers reasonable,


provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate Conversion

or Write-Off (as applicable) of the relevant Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes;


(iii) on the Trigger Event Date, the Issuer shall determine the Subordinated Notes or

portions thereof as to which the Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) is to take effect

and in making that determination may make any decisions with respect to the identity of

the Subordinated Noteholders at that time as may be necessary or desirable to ensure

Conversion or Write-off (as applicable) occurs in an orderly manner, including

disregarding any transfers of Subordinated Notes that have not been settled or

registered at that time provided that such determination does not impede or delay the

immediate Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) of the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes;




40

(iv) the Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to Condition 5A.3(iii) (a

“Trigger Event Notice”) as soon as practicable to the Subordinated Noteholders,

which must specify:


(a) the Trigger Event Date;


(b) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes Converted or Written-Off (as

applicable); and


(c) the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant Securities converted

or written-off;


(v) none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion or Write-Off

(as applicable) of Subordinated Notes as required by Condition 5A.3(i):


(a) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant Securities;


(b) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;


(c) any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in

complying with the provisions of Condition 5A.4;


(d) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes to be Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in

accordance with Condition 5A.3(ii)(b) or 5A.3(iii); and


(e) in the case of Conversion only, any failure or delay in quotation of Ordinary

Shares to be issued on Conversion.


If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, the Issuer must perform the obligations in

respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by the Issuer, whether or

not such day is a Business Day.


5A.4 Conversion or Write-Off of a whole or of a portion of a Subordinated Note


Subject to Condition 5D.2(iii)(b), in respect of any Subordinated Note which is Converted or

Written-Off:


(i) the Issuer shall notify the Registrar of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note

that has been Converted or Written-Off (whether in whole or in part) and instruct the

Registrar to reflect this Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) in the Register so that

the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note is reduced, in the case of a

Subordinated Note Converted or Written-Off in whole, to zero, or, in the case of a

Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off in part, to an amount equal to the

non-Converted or non-Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of

such Subordinated Note;


(ii) in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off only in part:


(a) where the date of the Conversion or Write-off is not an Interest Payment Date,

the amount of interest payable in respect of that Subordinated Note on each

Interest Payment Date falling after that date will be reduced and calculated on

the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note as reduced on that date;


(b) for the purposes of any interest calculation, the Interest Amount, the Fixed

Coupon Amount, the Broken Amount and any related amount in respect of that

Subordinated Note shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal

Amount Converted or Written-Off in respect of that Subordinated Note bears to

the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note before such Conversion or

Write-Off;




41


(c) the Early Redemption Amount, the Final Redemption Amount, the Optional

Redemption Amount, the Specified Denomination and Principal Amount or any

related amount shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal Amount

Converted or Written-Off in respect of that Subordinated Note bears to the

Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note before such Conversion or Write-

Off; and


(iii) if a Certificate has been issued to the relevant Subordinated Noteholder in respect of

such Subordinated Note, then, if the Issuer so requires, such Subordinated Noteholder

shall surrender such Certificate to the Issuer (or, if the Issuer so directs, to the

Registrar) and, in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written- Off

only in part, the Issuer shall deliver to the Subordinated Noteholder, a new Certificate

for a Subordinated Note with a Principal Amount equal to the non-Converted or non-

Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note.


5B. Conversion of Subordinated Notes


5B.1 Conversion of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


Unless "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 5B

shall apply to the Subordinated Notes and, notwithstanding any other provision in these

Conditions, on the Trigger Event Date the relevant Principal Amount (as determined under

Condition 5A.3) of the Subordinated Notes will Convert immediately and irrevocably.


From the Trigger Event Date, subject to Conditions 5B.5 and 5B.6(iii)(c), the Issuer shall treat

any Subordinated Noteholder of any Subordinated Note or portion thereof which is required to

be Converted as the holder of the relevant number of Ordinary Shares and will take all such

steps, including updating any register, required to record the Conversion and the issuance of

such Ordinary Shares.


5B.2 Provision of information


Where a Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is required to be Converted under Condition

5B, a Subordinated Noteholder of Subordinated Notes or portion thereof that are subject to

Conversion wishing to receive Ordinary Shares must, no later than the Trigger Event Date (or,

in the case where Condition 5B.4(vi) applies, within 30 days of the date on which Ordinary

Shares are issued upon such Conversion), have provided to the Issuer:


(i) its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name it directs

the Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title and receipt of any

certificate or holding statement in respect of any Ordinary Shares;


(ii) the security account details of such Subordinated Noteholder in CHESS or such other

account to which the Ordinary Shares may be credited; and


(iii) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the purposes of

enabling it to issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to such Subordinated

Noteholder,


and the Issuer has no duty to seek or obtain such information.


5B.3 Failure to Convert


Subject to Condition 5B.4 and Condition 5B.5, if, in respect of a Conversion of Subordinated

Notes, the Issuer fails to issue, on the Trigger Event Date, the Conversion Number of Ordinary

Shares in respect of the relevant Principal Amount of such Subordinated Notes to, or in

accordance with the instructions of, the relevant Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event

Date or any other nominee where Condition 5B.4 applies, the Principal Amount of such




42

Subordinated Notes which would otherwise be subject to Conversion shall remain on issue and

outstanding until:


(i) the Ordinary Shares are issued to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the

Subordinated Noteholder of such Subordinated Notes; or


(ii) such Subordinated Notes are Written-Off in accordance with these Conditions;


provided that the sole right of the Subordinated Noteholder in respect of Subordinated Notes or

portion thereof that are subject to Conversion is its right to be issued Ordinary Shares upon

Conversion (subject to its compliance with Condition 5B.2 or to receive the proceeds from their

sale pursuant to Condition 5B.4, as applicable) and the remedy of such Subordinated

Noteholder in respect of the Issuer’s failure to issue the Ordinary Shares is limited (subject

always to Condition 5B.5) to seeking an order for specific performance of the Issuer’s obligation

to issue the Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder or where Condition 5B.4 applies

to the nominee and to receive such proceeds of sale, in each case, in accordance with the

terms of the Subordinated Notes. This Condition 5B.3 does not affect the obligation of the

Issuer to issue the Ordinary Shares when required in accordance with these Conditions.


5B.4 Issue to nominee


If, in respect of a Subordinated Note and a Subordinated Noteholder of that Subordinated Note,

the Subordinated Note or portion thereof is required to be Converted and:


(i) the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the Issuer that it does not wish to receive

Ordinary Shares as a result of the Conversion (whether entirely or to the extent

specified in the notice), which notice may be given at any time prior to the Trigger

Event Date;


(ii) the Subordinated Notes are held by a Subordinated Noteholder whose address in the

register is a place outside Australia or who the Issuer otherwise believes may not be a

resident of Australia (a “Foreign Holder”);


(iii) for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the Subordinated Noteholder) the

Issuer has not received the information required by Condition 5B.2 prior to the Trigger

Event Date and the lack of such information would prevent the Issuer from issuing the

Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event Date; or


(iv) a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion,


then, on the Trigger Event Date:


(v) where Condition 5B.4(i), 5B.4(ii) or 5B.4(iv) applies, the Issuer shall issue the Ordinary

Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder only to the extent (if at all) that:


(a) where Condition 5B.4(i) applies, the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the

Issuer that it wishes to receive them;


(b) where Condition 5B.4(ii) applies, the Issuer is satisfied that the laws of both

Australia and the Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue of

Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which the Issuer is not bound

to enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the

Issuer in its absolute discretion regards as acceptable and not unduly onerous;

and


(c) where Condition 5B.4(iv) applies, the issue is net of the FATCA Withholding;




43

and, to the extent the Issuer is not obliged to issue Ordinary Shares to the

Subordinated Noteholder, the Issuer will issue the balance of the Ordinary Shares to

the nominee in accordance with Condition 5B.4(vi); and


(vi) otherwise, subject to applicable law, the Issuer will issue the balance of Ordinary

Shares in respect of the Subordinated Noteholder to a competent nominee (which may

not be the Issuer or any of its Related Entities) and will promptly notify such

Subordinated Noteholder of the name of and contact information for the nominee and

the number of Ordinary Shares issued to the nominee on its behalf and, subject to

applicable law and:


(a) subject to Condition 5B.4(vi)(b), the nominee will as soon as reasonably

possible and no later than 35 days after issue of the Ordinary Shares sell those

Ordinary Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the net proceeds received,

after deducting any applicable brokerage, stamp duty and other taxes and

charges, to the Subordinated Noteholder;


(b) where Condition 5B.4(iii) applies, the nominee will hold such Ordinary Shares

and will transfer Ordinary Shares to such Subordinated Noteholder promptly

after such Subordinated Noteholder provides the nominee with the information

required to be provided by such Subordinated Noteholder under Condition 5B.2

(as if a reference in Condition 5B.2 to the Issuer is a reference to the nominee

and a reference to the issue of Ordinary Shares is a reference to the transfer of

Ordinary Shares) but only where such information is provided to the nominee

within 30 days of the date on which Ordinary Shares are issued to the nominee

upon Conversion of such Subordinated Note and failing which the nominee will

sell the Ordinary Shares and pay the proceeds to such Subordinated

Noteholder in accordance with Condition 5B.4(vi)(a); and


(c) where Condition 5B.4(iv) applies, the nominee shall deal with Ordinary Shares

the subject of a FATCA Withholding and any proceeds of their disposal in

accordance with FATCA;


(vii) nothing in this Condition 5B.4 shall affect the Conversion of the Subordinated Notes of

a Subordinated Noteholder who is not a person to which any of Condition 5B.4(i) to

5B.4(iv) (inclusive) applies; and


(viii) for the purposes of this Condition 5B.4, none of the Issuer or the nominee owes any

obligations or duties to the Subordinated Noteholders in relation to the price at which

Ordinary Shares are sold or has any liability for any loss suffered by a Subordinated

Noteholder as a result of the sale of Ordinary Shares.


5B.5 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes if Conversion is not effected within 5 Business Days

after a Trigger Event Date


Notwithstanding any other provision of Condition 5B and provided that "Write-Off – Applicable"

is not specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, where Subordinated Notes are required to

be Converted on the Trigger Event Date and Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the

Subordinated Notes that are subject to Conversion has not been effected within five Business

Days after the relevant Trigger Event Date for any reason (including an Inability Event):


(i) the relevant Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note which, but for this Condition

5B.5, would be Converted, will not be Converted and instead will be Written-Off with

effect on and from the Trigger Event Date; and


(ii) the Issuer shall notify the Subordinated Noteholders as promptly as practically possible

that Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has not

occurred and that such Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has been Written-

Off.




44

5B.6 Subordinated Noteholder acknowledgements


Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably:


(i) consents to becoming a member of the Issuer upon the Conversion of the relevant

Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes as required by this Condition 5B and agrees to

be bound by the constitution of the Issuer, in each case in respect of the Ordinary

Shares issued to such Subordinated Noteholder on Conversion;


(ii) acknowledges and agrees that it is obliged to accept Ordinary Shares upon a

Conversion of the Principal Amount Subordinated Notes it holds notwithstanding

anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion of such Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes including:


(a) any change in the financial position of the Issuer since the issue of such

Subordinated Notes;


(b) any disruption to the market or potential market for the Ordinary Shares or to

capital markets generally; or


(c) any breach by the Issuer of any obligation in connection with such Subordinated

Notes;


(iii) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 5A.3 applies:


(a) there are no other conditions to a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurring as and

when provided in Condition 5A.2;


(b) Conversion must occur immediately on the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger

Event and that may result in disruption or failures in trading or dealings in the

Subordinated Notes;


(c) it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Conversion and that the

Subordinated Note does not confer a right to vote at any meeting of members of

the Issuer; and


(d) the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at the time of

issue, or at all;


(iv) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 5B.5 applies, no conditions or events

will affect the operation of that Condition and such Subordinated Noteholder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under that Condition and has no

claim against the Issuer arising in connection with the application of that Condition;

Note or portion thereof are immediately and irrevocably terminated and written-off; and


“Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.


5C Write-Off of Subordinated Notes


5C.1 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


If "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 5C shall

and appropriate to effect the substitution of an Approved NOHC as the provider of the

ordinary shares on Conversion in the manner contemplated by these Conditions,

such that the number of Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after

the substitution differs from the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately

VWAP consistent with the principles of adjustment set out in Schedule A to these

Conditions.

5D.4 Further substitutions


After a substitution under Condition 5D.2, the Approved NOHC may without the authority,

accordance with Condition 5D.2 (with necessary changes).


6. PAYMENTS


6.1 Payments by the Issuer


(i) Payments in respect of interest or principal on any Security made by the Issuer to

Registered Holders will be made in accordance with details recorded with the Registrar

(ii) When a Security is recorded in the Register as being held jointly, payment of interest or

principal (as the case may be) by the Issuer will be made to the Registered Holders in

their joint names unless requested otherwise (and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer)

by 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.


6.2 Method of Payment


Payments in respect of each Security will be made:


(i) where the Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, by crediting on the relevant

Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (determined in accordance with the Business

Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) the amount then due to

the account of the relevant Registered Holder in accordance with the Austraclear

Regulations; or


(ii) if the relevant Securities have not been lodged or are removed from the Austraclear

System, by crediting on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments of




48

interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal, the amount then due

to a bank account in Australia previously notified by the Registered Holder to the

Registrar. Each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date shall be determined in

accordance with the Business Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement. If the Registered Holder has not notified the Registrar of such an account

by 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date or upon application by

the Registered Holder to the Registrar no later than 5.00pm local Registry Office time

on the relevant Record Date, payments in respect of the relevant Security will be made

by cheque mailed on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest

Payment Date in the case of payments of interest or on the Maturity Date, in the case of

payments of principal, at the Registered Holder’s risk to the Registered Holder (or to the

first named of joint Registered Holders) of such Security at the address appearing in the

Register as at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date. Cheques

to be despatched to the nominated address of a Registered Holder will in such case be

deemed to have been received by the Registered Holder on the relevant Interest

Payment Date, in the case of payments of interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of

payments of principal, and no further amount will be payable by the Issuer in respect of

the relevant Security as a result of payment not being received by the Registered

Holder on the due date.


No payment of interest will be mailed to an address in the United States or transferred to an

account maintained by the Registered Holder in the United States.


6.3 Payments Subject to Fiscal Laws


All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws, regulations and

directives, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8 (Taxation). No commission or

expenses shall be charged to the Registered Holders in respect of such payments.


6.4 Appointment of Agents


The Registrar and (if appointed) the Calculation Agent act solely as agents of the Issuer and do

not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Registered Holder.

The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of the Registrar or

(if appointed) the Calculation Agent, provided that the Issuer shall at all times maintain (i) a

Registrar, (ii) one or more Calculation Agent(s) where the Conditions so require, and (iii) such

other agents as may be required by the rules of any stock exchange, listing authority and/or

quotation system on which the Securities may be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation.

Notice of any change to the specified office of the Registrar or the Calculation Agent shall

promptly be given to the Registered Holders in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices).


7 TRANSFER


7.1 Transfer


(i) Unless Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, and subject to Condition 7.2, all

applications to transfer Securities must be made by lodging with the Registrar a properly

completed transfer and acceptance form in the form approved by the Issuer and the

Registrar. Any Certificate relating to the Securities to be transferred must also be

surrendered to the Registrar. Transfer and acceptance forms are available from any

Registry Office. Each Registry Office will provide prompt marking and transfer services.

Each transfer form must be accompanied by such evidence (if any) as the Registrar

may require to prove the title of the transferor or the transferor’s right to transfer the

Security, and be signed by both the transferor and the transferee. The transfer takes

effect upon the transferee’s name being entered on the Register.


(ii) Securities lodged in the Austraclear System will be transferable only in accordance with

the Austraclear Regulations.




49

7.2 Limit on Transfer


(i) Securities may only be transferred within, to or from Australia in the denominations

specified in the Pricing Supplement and if the consideration payable at the time of

transfer is a minimum amount of A$500,000 (in either case, disregarding moneys lent

by the transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not require disclosure

to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act.


(ii) Securities may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions

other than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in

which the transfer takes place and the transfer of the Securities otherwise does not

require disclosure to investors in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which

the transfer takes place.


7.3 Partial Transfers


Where a transferor executes a transfer of less than all Securities registered in its name, and the

identity of the specific Securities to be transferred are not identified, the Registrar may register

the transfer in respect of such of the Securities registered in the name of the transferor as the

Registrar thinks fit, provided the total Principal Amount of the Securities registered as having

been transferred equals the total Principal Amount of the Securities expressed to be transferred

in the transfer.


7.4 Closed Period


A transfer of a Security shall not be effective unless and until entered on the Register. The

Register will be closed for the purpose of determining entitlements to payments of interest and

repayments of any Principal Amount at 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the Record Date

prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, the relevant Maturity Date and any relevant

redemption date. Therefore, transfers must be received by the Registrar at the relevant

Registry Office prior to that time.


7.5 Stamp Duty


The Registered Holder is responsible for any stamp duties or other similar taxes which are

payable in any jurisdiction in connection with any transfer, assignment or other dealing with the

Securities.


7.6 Transmission


The Registrar must register a transfer of a Security to or by a person who is entitled to make or

receive the transfer in consequence of:


(i) death, bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up of a Registered Holder; or


(ii) the making of a vesting order by a court or other body with power to make the order,


on receiving the evidence of entitlement that the Registrar or the Issuer requires.



7.7 Austraclear Services Limited as Registrar


If Austraclear Services Limited is the Registrar and Securities are lodged in the Austraclear

System, despite any other provision of those Conditions, these Securities are not transferable

on the Register, and the Issuer may not, and must procure that the Registrar does not, register

any transfer of those Securities issued by it and no member of the Austraclear System has the

right to request any registration of any transfer of the relevant Securities, except:


(i) for the purposes of any Conversion, Write-Off, repurchase, redemption or cancellation

(whether on or before the Maturity Date of the relevant Security) of the relevant




50

Security, a transfer of the relevant Security from Austraclear to the Issuer (or if

applicable, to an Approved NOHC in accordance with Condition 5D) may be entered in

the Register; and


(ii) if Austraclear exercises or purports to exercise any power it may have under the

Austraclear Regulations from time to time for the Austraclear System or these

Conditions, to require the relevant Security to be transferred on the Register to a

member of the Austraclear System, the relevant Security may be transferred on the

Register from Austraclear to the member of the Austraclear System.


In any of these cases, the relevant Security will cease to be held in the Austraclear System.


8. TAXATION


8.1 General


Subject as provided below, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities

shall be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties,

assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld

or assessed by or within Australia or by any authority therein or thereof having power to tax

(together Taxes), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.


8.2 Issuer to pay Additional Amounts


Where such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer shall pay such additional

amounts to the Registered Holders as shall result in receipt by those Registered Holders of

such amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction

been required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any

Security:


(i) in respect of which the Registered Holder thereof is liable to such Taxes, duties,

assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Security by reason of its

having some connection with Australia, other than the mere holding of such Security or

the receipt of the relevant payment in respect thereof; or


(ii) in respect of which the Registered Holder thereof is an Offshore Associate of the Issuer

(acting other than in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds

manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the

Corporations Act); or


(iii) in respect of which the Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the

Registered Holder of such Security being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid

such Taxes, being a scheme which the Issuer was neither a party to nor participated in;

or


(iv) to, or to a third party on behalf of, an Australian resident Registered Holder or a non-

resident Registered Holder who is engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or

through a permanent establishment of the non-resident in Australia, if that person has

not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian business number or other

exemption details.


8.4 Tax File Number


The Issuer will deduct tax from payments of interest on the Securities at the highest marginal

tax rate plus the highest Medicare levy if an Australian resident investor or a non-resident

investor carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of the non-

resident in Australia has not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian Business

Number or exemption details.




51

8.5 References


References in these Conditions to (i) ‘‘principal’’ shall be deemed to include any premium

payable in respect of the Securities (other than Subordinated Notes for which there is no

premium payable), all Instalment Amounts, Final Redemption Amounts, Early Redemption

Amounts, Optional Redemption Amounts, Amortised Face Amounts and all other amounts in the

nature of principal payable pursuant to Condition 5 (Redemption, Purchase and Options), or any

amendment or supplement to it, (ii) ‘‘interest’’ shall be deemed to include all Interest Amounts

and all other amounts payable pursuant to Condition 4 (Interest and other Calculations), or any

amendment or supplement to it and (iii) ‘‘principal’’ and/or ‘‘interest’’ shall be deemed to

include any additional amounts that may be payable under this Condition or any undertaking

given in addition to or substitution for it under the Deed Poll. Any additional amounts due in

respect of the Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in right of payment as described in

Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated Notes), Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment –

Subordinated Notes) and Condition 11 (Subordination).


If the Issuer is or becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than or in addition

to Australia, references in Condition 5.2 and Condition 8 shall be read and construed as

including references to such other taxing jurisdiction(s).


8.6 FATCA


The Issuer may withhold or make deductions from payments or from the issue of Ordinary

Shares to a Noteholder where it is required to do so under or in connection with FATCA, or

where it has reasonable grounds to suspect that the Noteholder or a beneficial owner of the

Securities may be subject to FATCA, and may deal with such payment, and any Ordinary

Shares in accordance with FATCA. If any withholding or deduction arises under or in connection

with FATCA, the Issuer will not be required to pay any further amounts or issue any further

Ordinary Shares on account of such withholding or deduction or otherwise reimburse or

compensate, or make any payment to, a Noteholder or a beneficial owner of the Securities for

or in respect of any such withholding or deduction. A dealing with such payment and any

Ordinary Shares in accordance with FATCA satisfies the Issuer’s obligations to that Noteholder

to the extent of the amount of that payment or issue of Ordinary Shares.


9. PRESCRIPTION


Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Securities shall be prescribed and

become void unless made within ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of

interest) from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them.


10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT


10.1 Medium Term Notes


If any one of the following events (‘‘Events of Default’’) occurs and is continuing, the

Registered Holder of any Medium Term Note of any Series may give written notice to the

Registrar at its Registry Office that such Medium Term Note is immediately repayable,

whereupon it shall immediately become due and repayable at its Early Redemption Amount

together with accrued interest to the date of payment unless, prior to the date that such written

notice is received by the Registrar, the Issuer shall have cured or otherwise made good all

Events of Default in respect of the Medium Term Notes of such Series:


(i) default is made in the payment of any principal or Final Redemption Amount, Early

Redemption Amount, Optional Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Amortised

Face Amount (in the case of a Zero Coupon Security) (whether becoming due upon

redemption or otherwise) or interest when due, in respect of any Medium Term Note of

such Series, and such default continues for a period of seven days; or


(ii) the Issuer fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under any Medium Term

Note of such Series other than those specified in paragraph (i) above and in such case




52

(except where such failure is incapable of remedy) such failure continues for a period of

30 days next following the service by any Registered Holder of any Medium Term Note

of such Series on the Issuer of written notice requiring the same to be remedied; or


(iii) otherwise than for the purpose of an amalgamation or reconstruction or merger within

the meaning of these words under the laws of Australia, a resolution is passed that the

Issuer be wound up or dissolved; or


(iv) the Issuer stops payment (within the meaning of Australian or any other applicable

bankruptcy law) of its obligations; or


(v) an encumbrancer takes possession of or a receiver is appointed of the whole or a

substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer and any such event is

continuing for 45 days after its occurrence and would materially prejudice the

performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such

Series or a distress or execution is levied or enforced upon or sued out against the

whole or a substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer which would

materially prejudice the performance of the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium

Term Notes of such Series and is not discharged within 60 days thereof; or


(vi) proceedings shall have been initiated against the Issuer under any applicable

bankruptcy, reorganisation or other similar law and such proceedings shall not have

been discharged or stayed within a period of 60 days; or


(vii) the Issuer shall initiate or consent to proceedings relating to itself under any applicable

bankruptcy, insolvency, composition or other similar law (otherwise than for the

purpose of amalgamation, reconstruction or merger (within the meaning of those words

under the laws of Australia)) and such proceedings would materially prejudice the

performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such

Series.


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 10.1 no Event of Default in respect of any

Medium Term Note shall occur solely on account of any failure by the Issuer to perform or

observe its obligations in relation to, or the taking of any process or proceeding in respect of

any share, note or other security or instrument constituting Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital.


10.1A Transferable Certificates of Deposit


If any of the events described in Condition 10.1 occur, that Condition 10.1 applies to

Transferable Certificates of Deposit as if references in that Condition 10.1 to Medium Term

Notes were references to Transferable Certificates of Deposit.


10.2 Subordinated Notes


The following are Events of Default with respect to Subordinated Notes:


(i) (a) the making of an order by a court of the State of Victoria, Australia or a court with

appellate jurisdiction from such court which is not successfully appealed or

permanently stayed within 60 days of the entry of such order; or


(b) the valid adoption by the Issuer 's shareholders of an effective resolution,


in each case for the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection with a

scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency); and


(ii) Subject to Condition 4.10:


(a) default in the payment of interest on any Subordinated Note when due, continued

for 30 days; or




53

(b) default in the payment of principal of any Subordinated Note when due.


Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in paragraph (i) above, subject to the

subordination provisions, the Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the

Subordinated Notes will automatically become due and payable.


If an Event of Default contemplated by paragraph (ii) above with respect to any Subordinated

Notes occurs and is continuing, a Subordinated Noteholder may only, in order to enforce the

obligations of the Issuer under such Subordinated Notes:


(A) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (B) below, institute proceedings in

the State of Victoria, Australia (but not elsewhere) for the winding-up of the Issuer

(all subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Condition 11

(Subordination)); or


(B) institute proceedings for recovery of the money then due, provided that the Issuer

will not, by virtue of the institution of any such proceedings (other than

proceedings for the winding-up of the Issuer) be obliged to pay any sums

representing principal or interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes sooner

than the same would otherwise have been payable by it and provided that the

Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any such

payment.


No remedy against the Issuer other than those referred to in this Condition 10.2, shall be

available to the Subordinated Noteholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in

respect of the Subordinated Notes or in respect of any breach by the issuer of any of its other

obligations under or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.


10.3 Notification


If an Event of Default occurs under Conditions 10.1 or 10.2 above, the Issuer will promptly after

becoming aware of it notify the Registrar of the occurrence of the Event of Default specifying

details of it and use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar promptly notifies

the Registered Holders of the occurrence of the Event of Default by registered post to the

address of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register.


11. SUBORDINATION


In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer constituting an Event of Default with respect to the

Subordinated Notes, there shall be payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes, subject to

the subordination provisions discussed above (see Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated

Notes) and Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated Notes), an amount equal to

the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes then outstanding, together with all accrued and

unpaid interest thereon to the repayment date.


As a result of the subordination provisions, no amount will be payable in the winding-up of the

Issuer in Australia in respect of the Subordinated Notes until all claims of Senior Creditors

admitted in the winding-up proceeding have been satisfied in full. By subscription for, or

transfer of, Subordinated Notes to a Subordinated Noteholder, that Subordinated Noteholder

will be taken to have agreed that no amount in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be repaid

until all the claims of the Senior Creditors admitted in the winding-up proceeding have been

satisfied accordingly. Accordingly, if proceedings with respect to the winding-up of the Issuer in

Australia were to occur, the Subordinated Noteholders could recover less relative to the holders

of deposit liabilities, the holders of Medium Term Notes and the holders of prior ranking

subordinated liabilities of the Issuer.


If in any such winding-up, the amount payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes and any

claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes cannot be paid in full, those

Subordinated Notes and other claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes will share




54

relatively in any distribution of the Issuer's assets in a winding-up in proportion to the respective

amounts to which they are entitled.


Any amount not paid due to Condition 4.10 (Conditions of Payment – Subordinated Notes) or

Condition 10.2 (Subordinated Notes), remains a debt owing to the Noteholder by the Issuer

until it is paid and will be payable on the first date on which payment can be made in

compliance with the relevant Condition.


12. MEETINGS OF REGISTERED HOLDERS, MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER


12.1 Meetings of Registered Holders


Meetings of Registered Holders may be convened in accordance with the Meeting Provisions

contained in Schedule 2 to the Deed Poll. Any such meeting may consider any matters

affecting the interests of Registered Holders, including, without limitation, the variation of the

terms of the Securities by the Issuer and the granting of approvals, consents and waivers, and

the declaration of an Event of Default.


12.2 Modification of the Deed Poll


The Deed Poll may be amended by the Issuer, without the consent of any Registered Holder

for the purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective

provision contained therein which does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer, adversely

affect the interests of the Registered Holders. All other amendments to the Deed Poll must be

passed at a duly convened meeting of Registered Holders by an Extraordinary Resolution. The

Issuer will notify the Registrar of any amendments made pursuant to this Condition and will use

its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar notifies the Registered Holders of the

amendment by post to the address of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register.


12.3 No modification, amendment or waiver which may affect Tier 2 Capital eligibility


The prior written approval of APRA is required in respect of any modification, amendment or

waiver in respect of the terms of any Series of Subordinated Notes where such modification,

amendment or waiver may affect the eligibility of any Series of Subordinated Notes as Tier 2

Capital.


13. FURTHER ISSUES OF SECURITIES


The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Registered Holders create and

issue further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Securities in all

respects (or in all respects except for the Issue Date or first payment of interest on them) and

so that such further issue of securities shall be consolidated and form a single Series with the

outstanding Securities of any Series or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the

time of their issue. References in these Conditions to the Securities include (unless the context

requires otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single

Series with the Securities.


14. NOTICES


14.1 To Registered Holders


All notices by the Issuer to Registered Holders will be valid if posted by ordinary mail to the

relevant Registered Holder at its address appearing on the Register (or in the case of joint

Registered Holders to the first named).


Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the sixth Business Day after posting if

posted to an address in Australia and on the tenth Business Day if posted to an address outside

of Australia.




55

14.2 To the Issuer and Registrar


All notices by a Registered Holder to the Issuer and Registrar will be valid if posted by ordinary

mail to the Issuer and the Registrar at their addresses specified above. Unless a later time is

specified in it, a notice by a Registered Holder takes effect from the time it is received by the

Issuer or Registrar except that if it is received after 5.00pm in the place of receipt or not on a

Business Day, it is to be taken to be received at 9.00am on the next succeeding Business Day

in that place.


15. GOVERNING LAW


The Securities are governed by the laws in force in the State of Victoria and Australia.



56


SCHEDULE A TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE SECURITIES


1 Conversion


If the Issuer must Convert a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note in accordance with the

Conditions, then, subject to this Schedule A and Condition 5D.2 and unless the Pricing

Supplement specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number applies, the following

provisions apply:

(a) the Issuer will allot and issue on the Trigger Event Date a number of Ordinary

Shares in respect of the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note equal to the

Conversion Number, where the Conversion Number (but subject to the Conversion

Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion Number) is a number

calculated according to the following formula:

Conversion Number =

Principal Amount

((1- CD) × VWAP)

where:

“CD” means the conversion discount specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement;

“VWAP” (expressed in dollars and cents) means the VWAP during the VWAP Period

and where the “Maximum Conversion Number” means a number calculated

according to the following formula:

Maximum Conversion =

Number

Principal Amount

Issue Date VWAP × 0.2


(b) on the Trigger Event Date, the rights of each holder of a Subordinated Note

(including to payment of interest with respect to such Principal Amount, both in the

future and as accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to each

Subordinated Note or portion thereof that is being Converted will be immediately

and irrevocably terminated for an amount equal to the Principal Amount of that

Subordinated Note that is being Converted and the Issuer will apply that Principal

Amount by way of payment for subscription for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted

and issued under Section 1(a) of this Schedule A. Each holder of the Subordinated

Note is taken to have irrevocably directed that any amount payable under Section 1

of this Schedule A is to be applied as provided for in Section 1 of this Schedule A

and no holder of the Subordinated Note has any right to payment in any other way;

(c) any calculation under Section 1(a) of this Schedule A shall be, unless the context

requires otherwise, be rounded to four decimal places provided that if the total

number of additional Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a holder of the Subordinated

Note in respect of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes it

holds which is being Converted includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share, that

fraction of an Ordinary Share will be disregarded; and

(d) the rights attaching to Ordinary Shares issued as a result of Conversion do not take

effect until 5.00pm (Melbourne, Australia time) on the Trigger Event Date (unless

another time is required for Conversion on that date). At that time all other rights

conferred or restrictions imposed on that Subordinated Note under the Conditions

will no longer have effect to the extent of the Principal Amount of that Subordinated

Note being Converted (except for the right to receive the Ordinary Shares as set

forth in Section 1 of this Schedule A and Condition 5B and except for rights relating

to interest which is payable but has not been paid on or before the Trigger Event

Date which will continue).




57

2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in the Conditions:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period, Ordinary

Shares have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as cum dividend or

cum any other distribution or entitlement and the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes will Convert into Ordinary Shares after the date those Ordinary

Shares no longer carry that dividend or any other distribution or entitlement, then the

VWAP on the Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted

cum dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an

amount (“Cum Value”) equal to:

(i) (in case of a dividend or other distribution), the amount of that dividend or

other distribution including, if the dividend or other distribution is franked, the

amount that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the

dividend or other distribution who is both a resident of Australia and a natural

person under the Tax Act;

(ii) (in the case of any other entitlement that is not a dividend or other

distribution under Section 2(a)(i) of this Schedule A which is traded on the

Australian Securities Exchange on any of those Business Days), the volume

weighted average sale price of all such entitlements sold on the Australian

Securities Exchange during the VWAP Period on the Business Days on

which those entitlements were traded; or

(iii) (in the case of any other entitlement which is not traded on the Australian

Securities Exchange during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement

as reasonably determined by the directors of the Issuer; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares

have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as ex dividend or ex any

other distribution or entitlement, and the relevant Principal Amount of Subordinated

Notes will Convert into Ordinary Shares which would be entitled to receive the

relevant dividend or other distribution or entitlement, the VWAP on the Business

Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted ex dividend or ex any other

distribution or entitlement shall be increased by the Cum Value.

3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change in the number of the

Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a division, consolidation or reclassification of

the Issuer’s share capital (not involving any cash payment or other distribution (or

compensation) to or by holders of Ordinary Shares) (a “Reorganisation”), in

calculating the VWAP for that VWAP Period the daily VWAP applicable on each day

in the relevant VWAP Period which falls before the date on which trading in Ordinary

Shares is conducted on a post Reorganisation basis shall be adjusted by the

following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Schedule

A will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on holders of the




58

Subordinated Notes under these terms and these terms will be construed

accordingly. Any such adjustment must be promptly notified to all holders of the

Subordinated Notes.

4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, corresponding adjustments to VWAP

will be made in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 of this Schedule A during the 20

Business Day period over which VWAP is calculated for the purposes of determining the

Issue Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with Sections 5 to 7 of this Schedule A (inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for bonus issues

(a) Subject to Section 5(b) of this Schedule A below, if at any time after the Issue Date

the Issuer makes a pro rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to holders of Ordinary

Shares generally, the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted immediately in accordance

with the following formula:

V

= V

o X


RD

RD + RN

where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application of this

formula;

V

o

means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately prior to the application of this

formula;

RN means the number of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the bonus issue; and

RD means the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately prior to the allotment

of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the bonus issue.

(b) Section 5(a) of this Schedule A does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued as part of

a bonus share plan, employee or executive share plan, executive option plan, share

top up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend reinvestment plan.

(c) For the purpose of Section 5(a) of this Schedule A, an issue will be regarded as a

pro rata issue notwithstanding that the Issuer does not make offers to some or all

holders of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside Australia, provided

that in so doing the Issuer is not in contravention of the ASX Listing Rules.

(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this Section 5 of this

Schedule A for any offer of Ordinary Shares not covered by Section 5(a) of this

Schedule A, including a rights issue or other essentially pro rata issue.

(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of Ordinary Shares except as

covered by Section 5(a) of this Schedule A shall not in any way restrict the Issuer

from issuing Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit nor require any

consent or concurrence of any Subordinated Noteholders.




59

6 Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date, a Reorganisation occurs, the Issuer shall adjust

the Issue Date VWAP by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP applicable on the

Business Day immediately before the date of any such Reorganisation by the

following formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Schedule

will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on Subordinated Noteholders

under these terms and these terms will be construed accordingly.

(c) Each Subordinated Noteholder acknowledges that the Issuer may, consolidate,

divide or reclassify securities so that there is a lesser or greater number of Ordinary

Shares at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action requiring any

consent or concurrence of any Subordinated Noteholders.

7 No Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP in certain circumstances

Despite the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Schedule A, no adjustment shall be

made to the Issue Date VWAP where such adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less

than one percent of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

8 Announcement of adjustment to Issue Date VWAP

The Issuer will notify Subordinated Noteholders (an “Adjustment Notice”) of any adjustment

to the Issue Date VWAP under this Schedule A within 10 Business Days of the Issuer

determining the adjustment and the adjustment set out in the announcement will be final and

binding.

9 Ordinary Shares

Each Ordinary Share issued or arising upon Conversion ranks pari passu with all other fully

paid Ordinary Shares.

10 Listing Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion

The Issuer shall use all reasonable endeavours to list the Ordinary Shares issued upon

Conversion of the Subordinated Notes on the Australian Securities Exchange.

11 Alternative Conversion Number

If the Issuer must Convert a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note in accordance with the

Conditions and the Pricing Supplement specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number

applies, then:




60

(a) Section 1 of this Schedule A applies on the basis that the Conversion Number for

the purposes of Section 1(a) of this Schedule A is the number of Ordinary Shares

specified in the Pricing Supplement as the Alternative Conversion Number (subject

to the Alternative Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion

Number as determined in accordance with Section 1(a) of Schedule A); and

(b) Sections 2 to 8 (inclusive) of this Schedule A do not apply to the Alternative

Conversion Number.

61


DESCRIPTION OF ORDINARY SHARES


A summary of the key rights attaching to the ordinary shares of the Issuer (“Ordinary Shares”) is as

follows. lnvestors who wish to inspect the constitution of the Issuer may do so at the registered office

of the lssuer during normal office hours.


Voting rights

Subject to the constitution of the Issuer, the Corporations Act and any rights or restrictions attached to

any shares or class of shares, a registered holder of an Ordinary Share is entitled to attend and vote at

a general meeting of the lssuer. Any resolution being considered at a general meeting is decided on a

show of hands unless a poll is held. On a show of hands, each registered holder of an Ordinary Share

entitled to vote, present in person or by proxy, attorney of representative has one vote.


On a poll, each registered holder of an Ordinary Share has one vote for each Ordinary Share. Partly

paid Ordinary Shares confer that fraction of a vote which is equal to the proportion which the amount

paid bears to the total issue price of the Ordinary Share.


General meetings

Notice of a general meeting must be given to each registered holder of an Ordinary Share in

accordance with the Corporations Act. At least 28 days’ notice must be given of a meeting of

registered holders of Ordinary Shares. Written notice must be given to all registered holders of an

Ordinary Share entitled to attend and vote at a meeting. All registered holders of an Ordinary Share

except for holders of partly paid ordinary shares who have failed to pay a call in respect of such

shares are entitled to attend to vote at general meetings of the Issuer. Voting rights attaching to other

classes of shares in the Issuer may differ. Each registered holder of an Ordinary Share is entitled to

receive notices, financial statements and other documents required to be sent to a registered holder of

an Ordinary Share under the constitution of the Issuer, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, but in

the case of financial statements and annual reports only where the registered holder of an Ordinary

Share has requested one to be sent to them in accordance with the Corporations Act.


Dividend entitlement

Subject to the Corporations Act, the constitution of the Issuer and the terms of issue of Ordinary

Shares, the board of Directors of the lssuer (“Board”) may resolve to pay dividends on Ordinary

Shares which are considered by the Board to be appropriate, in proportion to the capital paid up on

the Ordinary Shares held by a registered holder of an Ordinary Share (subject to the rights of holders

of shares carrying preferred rights including Subordinated Notes).


Dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan

Registered holders of Ordinary Shares who are eligible may participate in the lssuer's dividend

reinvestment plan or bonus option plan, as in force from time to time, in accordance with (and subject

to) the terms and conditions of those plans. Registered holders of Ordinary Shares who are subject to

the laws of a country or place other than Australia may not be eligible to participate, because of legal

requirements that apply in that country or place or in Australia. Until the Board otherwise determines,

participation in the lssuer's dividend reinvestment plan and bonus option plan is not available directly

or indirectly to any entity or person (including any legal or beneficial owner of Ordinary Shares) who is

(or who is acting on behalf of or for the account or benefit of an entity or person who is) in or resident

in the United States (including its territories or possessions) or Canada.


Rights of shareholders on a winding-up of the lssuer

lf the lssuer is wound up and its property is more than sufficient to pay all debts, share capital of the

lssuer and expenses of the winding-up, the excess must be divided among registered holders of

Ordinary Shares in proportion to the capital paid up on the Ordinary Shares held by them at the

commencement of the winding-up (subject to the rights of holders of shares carrying preferred rights

on winding-up including Subordinated Notes). A partly paid Ordinary Share is counted as a fraction of

a fully paid Ordinary Share equal to the proportion which the amount paid on it bears to the total issue

price of the Ordinary Share.


However, with the sanction of a special resolution, the liquidator may divide among the registered

holders of Ordinary Shares the assets of the lssuer in kind and decide how the division is to be carried




62

out and vest assets in trustees of any trusts for the benefit of the registered holders of Ordinary Shares

as the liquidator thinks appropriate.


Transfer of Ordinary Shares

Subject to the constitution of the Issuer, Ordinary Shares may be transferred by any means permitted

by the Corporations Act or by law. The Board may decline to register a transfer where permitted to do

so under the ASX Listing Rules and the settlement operating rules of the ASX (“ASX Settlement

Operating Rules”), or where registration of the transfer is forbidden by the Corporations Act, ASX

Listing Rules or ASX Settlement Operating Rules. ln addition, subject to the Corporations Act, ASX

Listing Rules and ASX Settlement Operating Rules, the Board may decline to register a transfer if

registration would create a new holding of less than a marketable parcel under the ASX Listing Rules.


lssues of further Ordinary Shares

Subject to the constitution of the Issuer, Corporations Act and ASX Listing Rules, the Board may issue

or grant options in respect of Ordinary Shares on such terms as the Board decides. The Board may

also issue preference shares, including redeemable preference shares, or convertible notes with any

rights attaching to them that the Board determines prior to the issue.


Variation of the constitution

The constitution of the Issuer can only be modified by a special resolution in accordance with the

Corporations Act. Under the Corporations Act, for a resolution to be passed as a special resolution it

must be passed by at least 75% of the votes cast by members entitled to vote on the resolution.


Variation of rights

The lssuer may only modify or vary the rights attaching to any class of shares with the prior approval,

by a special resolution, of the holders of shares in that class at a meeting of those holders, or with the

written consent of the holders of at least 75% of the issued shares of that class.


Subject to the terms of issue, the rights attached to a class of shares are not treated as varied by the

issue of further shares which rank equally with that existing class for participation in profits and assets

of the lssuer.




63

USE OF PROCEEDS


The net proceeds from the issue of any Notes or Transferable Certificates of Deposit will be used by

the Issuer for its general corporate purposes.




64

SUBSCRIPTION AND SALE


Subject to the terms and on the conditions contained in each relevant subscription agreement (each a

“Subscription Agreement”) entered into between the Issuer and the relevant Dealers, the Securities

will be offered from time to time by the Issuer to the Dealers. However, the Issuer has reserved the

right to sell Securities directly on its own behalf to other intermediaries and purchasers procured by it.


The Issuer will agree to indemnify the Dealer(s) against certain liabilities in connection with the offer

and sale of the Securities. Each Subscription Agreement will entitle the relevant Dealers to terminate

any agreement that they may make to subscribe for Securities in certain circumstances prior to

payment for such Securities being made to the Issuer. In the event of any inconsistency between the

provisions of the relevant Subscription Agreement and the Information Memorandum or the

Conditions, the provisions of the relevant Subscription Agreement shall apply.


The Issuer may pay each relevant Dealer a commission as agreed between the Issuer and that

Dealer in respect of a Tranche of Securities, which commission may be deducted from the net

proceeds payable to the Issuer on the closing of that Series. The Issuer may agree to reimburse the

relevant Dealers for certain of their activities in connection with the issue of a Tranche of Securities.


Australia


No prospectus or other disclosure document (as defined in the Corporations Act) in relation to the

Programme or any Securities (including the Information Memorandum) has been or will be lodged

with or registered by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission or the Australian

Securities Exchange Limited or any other stock exchange licensed under the Corporations Act. Each

Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to represent and agree that in connection

with the distribution of the Securities, it has not:

its equivalent in an alternate currency (disregarding money lent by the Issuer or its

associates (as described in Division 2 of Part 1.2 in Chapter 1 of the Corporations Act))

or the offer otherwise does not require disclosure to investors in accordance with Part

6D.2 or Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act and does not constitute an offer to a “retail

client” as defined for the purposes of section 761G of the Corporations Act; and


(ii) such action complies with all applicable laws, directives and regulations and does not

require any document to be lodged with, or registered by, the Australian Securities and

Investments Commission.


Each Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree, that it will not sell any

Securities issued by the Issuer in circumstances where employees of the Dealer aware of, or involved

in, the sale know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that the Security or an interest in or right in

respect of the Security, was being or would later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an

Offshore Associate of the Issuer acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter

in relation to the placement of the Securities or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or

responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act.


"Offshore Associate" means an associate (as defined in section 128F of the Income Tax

Assessment Act 1936 (Cth) of Australia and any successor legislation) of the Issuer that is either a

non-resident of the Commonwealth of Australia which does not acquire the Securities in carrying on a

business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia or, alternatively, a resident of Australia




65

that acquires the Securities in carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside

of Australia.

to the public within the meaning of that the Companies Ordinance; and


(b) it has not issued or had in its possession for the purposes of issue, and will not issue or have in its

possession for the purposes of issue, whether in Hong Kong or elsewhere, any advertisement,

securities laws of Hong Kong) other than with respect to Securities which are or are intended to be

disposed of only to persons outside Hong Kong or only to "professional investors" as defined in the

SFO and any rules made under the SFO.

Exchange Act of Japan (Act No. 25 of 1948, as amended, the "FIEA") and each Dealer will be

required to represent and agree that it will not offer or sell any Securities, directly or indirectly, in

Japan or to, or for the benefit of, any Japanese Person or to others for re-offering or resale, directly or

indirectly, in Japan or to, or for the account or benefit of, any Japanese Person except pursuant to an

principal or agent) for the purposes of their businesses where the issue of the Securities would

otherwise constitute a contravention of Section 19 of FSMA by the Issuer.


United States


The Securities have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of

1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") or with any securities regulatory authority of any state or

other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or

any state or other jurisdiction of the United States and may not be offered or sold within the United

States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (i) as part of their distribution at any time or (ii)

otherwise until 40 days after the later of the commencement of the offering of the Securities comprising

Each Dealer appointed under the Programme will be required to agree to notify the Issuer when it has

completed its distribution of the Securities of any Tranche. In addition, until 40 days after the later of

the commencement of the offering of the Securities comprising the relevant Tranche and the

completion of the distribution of the Securities comprising the relevant Tranche, any offer or sale of

Securities within the United States by a Dealer (whether or not participating in the offering) may

violate the registration requirements of the Securities Act.


Each issuance of index-, commodity- or currency-linked Securities may be subject to such additional

U.S. selling restrictions as the relevant Dealer may agree with the Issuer as a term of the issuance,

the Programme will be required agree, that it shall offer, sell and deliver such Securities only in

compliance with such additional U.S. selling restrictions.


European Economic Area


This Information Memorandum is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Directive (as

defined below).


In relation to each Member State of the European Economic Area which has implemented the

Prospectus Directive (each, a “Relevant Member State”), each Dealer appointed under the

Programme will be required to represent and agree, that with effect from and including the date on

which the Prospectus Directive is implemented in that Relevant Member State (the “Relevant

Implementation Date”) it has not made and will not make an offer of Securities which are the subject

of the offering contemplated by this Information Memorandum as completed by the Pricing

Supplement in relation thereto to the public in that Relevant Member State except that it may, with

public in that Relevant Member State:


(a) at any time to any legal entity which is a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Directive;


(b) at any time to fewer than 150 natural or legal persons (other than qualified investors as defined in

the Prospectus Directive), subject to obtaining the prior consent of the relevant Dealer or Dealers

nominated by the Issuer for any such offer; or


(c) at any time in any other circumstances falling within Article 3(2) of the Prospectus Directive,


provided that no such offer of Securities referred to in (a) to (c) above shall require the Issuer or any

Dealer to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive, or supplement a

prospectus pursuant to Article 16 of the Prospectus Directive.

2 FORM, DENOMINATION AND TITLE


2.1 Constitution


The Securities are registered debt obligations of the Issuer constituted by and owing under the

Deed Poll. The obligations of the Issuer in respect of these Conditions and the relevant Pricing

Supplement extend to each individual Security and, following on from that, the Registered Holder

of each Security without the Registered Holder having to join forces with any other Registered

Holder or any predecessor in title of that Registered Holder of a Security.


2.2 Title


Entry of the name of the person purchasing a Security, or the transferee of a Security on the

Register at the relevant time will constitute the passing of title of that Security and will be

conclusive evidence of that person’s entitlements to receive interest and repayment of principal

in the manner provided for in these Conditions (subject to rectification for fraud or error). A

Security registered in the name of more than one person is held by those persons as joint tenants

(unless requested otherwise and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer). Securities will be registered

by name only without reference to any trusteeship. Neither the Issuer nor the Registrar is, except

as required by law, obliged to take notice of any other claim to a Security.


2.3 Independent Obligations


Each entry in the Register constitutes the separate and individual title of the Registered Holder to

the indebtedness of the Issuer to that relevant Registered Holder.

The Register will be established and maintained by the Registrar at its Registry Office unless

otherwise specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

by the purchaser (in the case of a Transferable Certificate of Deposit by way of a deposit

with the Issuer) is at least A$500,000 (disregarding moneys lent by the relevant Issuer or

its associates) or if the Securities are otherwise sold in a manner which does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act.


(ii) Securities may only be issued by the Issuer in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other than

Australia if the issue is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the issue or

sale is made and the Securities are otherwise issued or sold in a manner that does not

require disclosure to investors under the laws of that jurisdiction or those jurisdictions.


2.6 Austraclear


If Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, the Registrar will enter Austraclear in the

Register as the Registered Holder of those Securities. While those Securities remain in the

Austraclear System, all dealings (including transfers and payments) in relation to those Securities

within the Austraclear System will be governed by the regulations for the Austraclear System and

need not comply with these Conditions to the extent of any inconsistency provided that, in respect

of Subordinated Notes, the regulations of the Austraclear System do not override these

Conditions if it would impact the eligibility of the Subordinated Notes as Tier 2 Capital.


2.7 Certificates


No certificate or other evidence of title will be issued by or on behalf of the Issuer to evidence title

to a Security unless the Issuer determines that such certificates should be made available or it is

required to do so pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.


2.8 Acknowledgment


Where Austraclear is recorded in the Register as the Registered Holder, each person in whose

Security Record (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) that Security is recorded is deemed

to acknowledge in favour of the Registrar and Austraclear that:


(i) the Registrar’s decision to act as the Registrar of the Security does not constitute a

recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to the

Security but only indicates that such Security is considered by the Registrar to be

compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under its agreement

with the Issuer to act as Registrar of the Security; and


(ii) the Registered Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to

Condition 2.8(i).

Subordinated Notes will rank behind all claims of Senior Creditors and subject to Conditions 5A

to 5C (inclusive), pari passu with Equal Ranking Securities and ahead of Junior Ranking

Securities.


Neither the Issuer nor a Subordinated Noteholder has any contractual right to set off any sum at

any time due and payable to a Subordinated Noteholder or the Issuer (as applicable) under or in

relation to the Subordinated Notes against amounts owing by the Subordinated Noteholder to the

Issuer or by the Issuer to the Subordinated Noteholder (as applicable).


The Subordinated Notes do not limit the amount of liabilities ranking senior to the Subordinated

Notes that may be hereafter incurred or assumed by the Issuer.

The Subordinated Notes do not constitute the Issuer’s deposit liabilities, or a protected account,

in Australia for the purposes of the Banking Act.


4. INTEREST AND OTHER CALCULATIONS


4.1 Interest on Fixed Rate Securities


Each Fixed Rate Security bears interest on its outstanding Principal Amount from, and including,

the Interest Commencement Date at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to

the Rate of Interest, such interest being payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. If a

Fixed Coupon Amount or a Broken Amount is specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement, the

18

amount of interest payable on each Interest Payment Date will amount to the Fixed Coupon

Amount or, if applicable, the Broken Amount so specified and in the case of the Broken Amount

will be payable on the particular Interest Payment Date(s) specified in the applicable Pricing

Supplement.


4.2 Interest on Floating Rate Securities and Index Linked Interest Securities


(i) Interest Payment Dates: Each Floating Rate Security and Index Linked Interest Security

bears interest on its outstanding Principal Amount from the Interest Commencement Date

at the rate per annum (expressed as a percentage) equal to the Rate of Interest, such

interest being payable in arrears on each Interest Payment Date. Such Interest Payment

Date(s) is/are either specified in the Pricing Supplement as the Interest Payment Dates

or, if no Interest Payment Date(s) are specified, Interest Payment Date shall mean each

date which falls the number of months or other period shown in the Pricing Supplement

as the Interest Period after the preceding Interest Payment Date or, the case of the first

Interest Payment Date, after the Interest Commencement Date.


(ii) Rate of Interest for Floating Rate Securities: The Rate of Interest in respect of Floating

Rate Securities for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined in the manner

specified in the Pricing Supplement and the provisions below relating to Screen Rate

Determination shall apply (as amended by the Pricing Supplement).


Screen Rate/Reference Bank Determination (non BBSW)


(x) If Screen Rate Determination is specified in the Pricing Supplement as

the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined and the

Rate of Interest specified in the Pricing Supplement is a rate other than

“BBSW”, the Rate of Interest for each Interest Accrual Period shall be

(as determined by the Calculation Agent) on the following basis:


(I) if the Reference Rate is a composite quotation or a quotation

customarily supplied by one entity, the Calculation Agent will

determine the Reference Rate which appears on the Relevant

Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on the

relevant Interest Determination Date; or


(II) in any other case, the Calculation Agent will determine the

arithmetic mean of the Reference Rates which appear on the

Relevant Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on

the relevant Interest Determination Date;



(y) if paragraph (x)(I) above applies and no Reference Rate appears on the

Relevant Screen Page at the then prevailing Publication Time on the

Interest Determination Date or if sub-paragraph (x)(II) applies and fewer

than two Reference Rates appear on the Relevant Screen Page at the

then prevailing Publication Time on the Interest Determination Date or if,

in either case, the Relevant Screen Page is unavailable, subject as

provided below, the Rate of Interest shall be the arithmetic mean of the

Reference Rates that each of the Reference Banks is quoting (or such

of them, being at least two, as are so quoting) to leading banks in the

Relevant Financial Centre at the Publication Time on the Interest

Determination Date, as determined by the Calculation Agent; and


(z) if paragraph (y) above applies and the Calculation Agent determines that

fewer than two Reference Banks are so quoting the Reference Rate,

subject as provided below, the Rate of Interest shall be the arithmetic

mean of the rates per annum (expressed as a percentage) that the

Calculation Agent determines to be the rates (being the nearest

equivalent to the Reference Rate) that at least two out of five leading

19

banks selected by the Calculation Agent (after consultation with the

Issuer) in the Relevant Financial Centre, are quoting at or about the then

prevailing Publication Time for a period equivalent to the relative Interest

Accrual Period to leading banks carrying on business in the Relevant

Financial Centre; except that, if fewer than two of such banks are so

quoting to such leading banks, the Rate of Interest shall be the Rate of

Interest determined on the previous Interest Determination Date (after

readjustment for any difference between any Margin, Rate Multiplier or

Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest applicable to the preceding

Interest Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest Accrual Period).


Screen Rate Determination - BBSW


(aa) If Screen Rate Determination is specified in the Pricing Supplement as

the manner in which the Rate of Interest is to be determined and the

Rate of Interest specified in the Pricing Supplement is “BBSW”, the Rate

of Interest for each Interest Accrual Period shall be the rate (expressed

as an interest rate per annum and rounded up, if necessary, to the fourth

decimal place) for prime bank eligible securities having a tenor

approximately equal to the relevant Interest Accrual Period which is

designated as the “AVG MID” on the Thomson Reuters Screen “BBSW”

Page (“BBSW Page”) at the then prevailing Publication Time;


(bb) If the Reference Rate does not appear on the BBSW Page at the then

prevailing Publication Time, the Rate of Interest shall be determined in

good faith by the Calculation Agent on the Interest Determination Date,

having regard, to the extent possible, to the rates otherwise bid and

offered at or around the time which is 15 minutes after the then prevailing

Publication Time on the Interest Determination Date for prime bank

eligible securities having a tenor approximately equal to the relevant

Interest Accrual Period; and if such rates are not available, the rates

otherwise bid or offered at or around the time which is 15 minutes after

the then prevailing Publication Time on the Interest Determination Date

for funds having a tenor approximately equal to the Interest Accrual

Period; and


(cc) If the Calculation Agent is unable to determine the Rate of Interest in

accordance with paragraph (bb), the Rate of Interest shall be the Rate

of Interest determined on the previous Interest Determination Date (after

readjustment for any difference between any Margin, Rate Multiplier or

Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest applicable to the preceding

Interest Accrual Period and to the relevant Interest Accrual Period).


Any reference in these Conditions or in a Pricing Supplement to a screen page on

Reuters or on Bloomberg or other service means the display page so designated on the

Thomson Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service or the Bloomberg Professional® service

or such other service (or any successor service of any of these services), as the case

may be, or such other page as may replace such page for the purpose of displaying the

relevant rate.


(iii) Rate of Interest for Index Linked Interest Securities: The Rate of Interest in respect of

Index Linked Interest Securities for each Interest Accrual Period shall be determined in

the manner specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement and interest will accrue by

reference to an Index or formula as specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.


(iv) Linear Interpolation: If the Pricing Supplement states that “Linear Interpolation” applies to

an Interest Period, the Calculation Agent must determine the Rate of Interest for that

Interest Period using straight line interpolation by reference to two rates determined using

the Screen Rate Determination or other floating rates, in each case, as specified in the

Pricing Supplement. The first rate must be determined as if the Interest Period were the

20

period of time for which rates are available next shorter than the length of the Interest

Period (or any alternative Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement). The

second rate must be determined as if the Interest Period were the period of time for which

rates are available next longer than the length of the Interest Period (or any alternative

Interest Period specified in the Pricing Supplement).


4.3 Zero Coupon Securities


Where a Security, the Interest Basis of which is specified in the Pricing Supplement to be Zero

Coupon, is repayable prior to the Maturity Date and is not paid when due, the amount due and

payable prior to the Maturity Date shall be the Early Redemption Amount of such Security, unless

otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement. As from the Maturity Date, the Rate of Interest for

any overdue principal of such a Security shall be a rate per annum (expressed as a percentage)

equal to the Amortisation Yield.


4.4 Accrual of Interest


Interest shall cease to accrue on each Security on the due date for redemption unless payment

is improperly withheld or refused, in which event interest shall continue to accrue (as well after as

before judgment) on the outstanding Principal Amount of the Security at the Rate of Interest in

the manner provided in this Condition 4 to the Relevant Date.


4.5 Margin, Maximum/Minimum Rates of Interest, Instalment Amounts and Redemption

Amounts, Rate Multipliers and rounding


(i) If any Margin or Rate Multiplier is specified in the Pricing Supplement (either (x) generally,

or (y) in relation to one or more Interest Accrual Periods), an adjustment shall be made

to all Rates of Interest, in the case of (x), or the Rates of Interest for the specified Interest

Accrual Periods, in the case of (y), calculated in accordance with 4.2 above by adding (if

a positive number) or subtracting (if a negative number) the absolute value of such Margin

or multiplying by such Rate Multiplier, subject always to the next paragraph;


(ii) If any Maximum or Minimum Rate of Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or

Optional Redemption Amount is specified in the Pricing Supplement, then any Rate of

Interest, Instalment Amount or Early, Final or Optional Redemption Amount shall be

subject to such maximum or minimum, as the case may be;


(iii) Subject to the requirements of applicable law and, where the Securities are lodged in the

Austraclear System, the Austraclear Regulations, for the purposes of any calculations

required pursuant to these Conditions (unless otherwise specified), (x) all percentages

resulting from such calculations shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one

hundred-thousandth of a percentage point (with halves being rounded up), (y) all figures

shall be rounded to seven decimal places (with halves being rounded up) and (z) all

currency amounts that fall due and payable shall be rounded to the nearest cent (with

one half cent being rounded up).


4.6 Calculations


The amount of interest payable in respect of any Security for any Interest Accrual Period shall,

subject where that Security is lodged in the Austraclear System, to the Austraclear Regulations,

be calculated by multiplying the product of the Rate of Interest and the outstanding Principal

Amount of such Security by the Day Count Fraction, unless an Interest Amount (or a formula for

its calculation) is specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of such period, in which case the

amount of interest payable in respect of such Security for such period shall equal such Interest

Amount (or be calculated in accordance with such formula). Where any Interest Period comprises

two or more Interest Accrual Periods, the amount of interest payable in respect of such Interest

Period shall be the sum of the amounts of interest payable in respect of each of those Interest

Accrual Periods.

21

4.7 Determination and Publication of Rate of Interest, Interest Amounts, Early, Final or

Optional Redemption Amounts and Instalment Amounts


As soon as practicable after the Relevant Time on each Interest Determination Date or such other

time on such date as the Calculation Agent may be required to calculate any rate or amount,

obtain any quotation or make any determination or calculation, it shall determine such rate and

calculate the Interest Amounts in respect of each Specified Denomination of the Securities for the

relevant Interest Accrual Period, calculate the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption

Amount, Instalment Amount or Optional Redemption Amount, obtain such quotation or make such

determination or calculation, as the case may be, and cause the Rate of Interest and the Interest

Amounts for each Interest Accrual Period and the relevant Interest Payment Date and, if required

to be calculated, the Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount

or Optional Redemption Amount to be notified to the Issuer, the Registrar (which will then notify

the Registered Holders of the calculation as required by the Issuer to the address of the

Registered Holders recorded in the Register), any other Calculation Agent appointed in respect

of the Securities that is to make a further calculation upon receipt of such information and, if the

Securities are listed on a stock exchange and the rules of such exchange so require, such

exchange as soon as possible after their determination but in no event later than (y) the

commencement of the relevant Interest Accrual Period, if determined prior to such time in the

case of notification to such exchange of a Rate of Interest and Interest Amount, or (z) in all other

cases, the fourth Business Day after such determination. Where any Interest Payment Date or

Interest Accrual Period is subject to adjustment pursuant to the application of a Business Day

Convention, the Interest Amounts and the Interest Payment Date so published may subsequently

be amended (or appropriate alternative arrangements made by way of adjustment) without notice

in the event of an extension or shortening of the Interest Accrual Period. If the Securities become

due and payable under Condition 10 (Events of Default), the accrued interest and the Rate of

Interest payable in respect of the Securities shall nevertheless continue to be calculated as

previously in accordance with this Condition but no publication of the Rate of Interest or the

Interest Amount so calculated need be made. The determination of any rate or amount, the

obtaining of each quotation and the making of each determination or calculation by the Calculation

Agent(s) shall (in the absence of manifest error) be final and binding upon all parties.


4.8 Calculation Agent and Reference Banks


If the Pricing Supplement specifies that Reference Banks are applicable, Issuer shall procure that

there shall at all times be four Reference Banks (or such other number as may be required) with

offices in the Relevant Financial Centre and one or more Calculation Agents if provision is made

for them in the Pricing Supplement and for so long as any Security is outstanding. If any

Reference Bank (acting through its relevant offices) is unable or unwilling to continue to act as a

Reference Bank, then the Issuer shall appoint another Reference Bank with an office in the

Relevant Financial Centre to act as such in its place. Where more than one Calculation Agent is

appointed in respect of the Securities, references in these Conditions to the Calculation Agent

shall be construed as each Calculation Agent performing its respective duties under the

Conditions. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as such or if the Calculation

Agent fails duly to establish the Rate of Interest for an Interest Accrual Period or to calculate any

Interest Amount, Instalment Amount, Final Redemption Amount, Early Redemption Amount or

Optional Redemption Amount or to comply with any other requirement, the Issuer shall appoint a

leading bank or investment banking firm engaged in the interbank market (or, if appropriate,

money, swap or over-the-counter index options market) that is most closely connected with the

calculation or determination to be made by the Calculation Agent to act as such in its place. The

Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been appointed as

aforesaid.


4.9 Certificates to be final


All certificates, communications, opinions, determinations, calculations, quotations and decisions

given, expressed, made or obtained for the purposes of the provisions of this Condition 4 shall (in

the absence of wilful default, bad faith or manifest error) be binding on the Issuer, the Calculation

Agent, the Registrar and all Registered Holders, and (in the absence of wilful default, bad faith or

manifest error) no liability to the Issuer or the Registered Holders, shall attach to the Calculation

22

Agent in connection with the exercise or non-exercise by it of its powers, duties and discretions

pursuant to such provisions.


4.10 Conditions of Payment – Subordinated Notes


Prior to the commencement of the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection

with a scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency):


(i) the obligations of the Issuer to make payments of principal of, any interest on, and any

other payments, including additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes

will be conditional on the Issuer being Solvent at the time of payment by the Issuer;

and


(ii) no payment of principal of, any interest on, and any other payments, including

additional amounts, in respect of the Subordinated Notes shall be made unless the

Issuer is Solvent immediately after making the payment,


and if, pursuant to this Condition, the Issuer fails to make any payment of principal of, or interest

on, or any other payment, including additional amounts, in respect of any Subordinated Note

when due, such failure will not constitute an Event of Default for the purposes of Condition

10.2(ii).


A certificate signed by the Issuer, two authorised signatories or an auditor of the Issuer or, if the

Issuer is being wound up, its liquidator as to whether the Issuer is Solvent at any time is (in the

absence of willful default, bad faith or manifest error) conclusive evidence of the information

contained in the certificate and will be binding on the Subordinated Noteholders. In the absence

of any such certificate, the Subordinated Noteholders are entitled to assume (unless the contrary

is proved) that the Issuer is Solvent at the time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any

payment on or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.


5. REDEMPTION, PURCHASE AND OPTIONS


5.1 Redemption by Instalments and Final Redemption


(i) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided in this Condition 5 or

unless the relevant Instalment Date (being one of the dates so specified in the Pricing

Supplement) is extended pursuant to the Conditions or any provision of the relevant

Pricing Supplement, each Security that provides for Instalment Dates and Instalment

Amounts shall be partially redeemed on each Instalment Date at the related Instalment

Amount specified in the Pricing Supplement. The outstanding Principal Amount of each

such Security shall be reduced by the Instalment Amount (or, if such Instalment Amount

is calculated by reference to a proportion of the Principal Amount of such Security, such

proportion) for all purposes with effect from the related Instalment Date, unless payment

of the Instalment Amount is improperly withheld or refused, in which case, such amount

shall remain outstanding until the Relevant Date relating to such Instalment Amount. A

Subordinated Note will not provide for redemption by instalments.


(ii) Unless previously redeemed, purchased and cancelled as provided below or Written-Off

or Converted as provided in Condition 5A or its maturity is extended pursuant to the

Conditions or any provision of the relevant Pricing Supplement, each Security shall be

finally redeemed on the Maturity Date specified in the Pricing Supplement at its Final

Redemption Amount or, in the case of a Security falling within paragraph (i) above, its

final Instalment Amount.


5.2 Redemption for taxation reasons


If, as a result of any change in or amendment to the laws or regulations of Australia or any political

subdivision or any authority thereof or therein having power to tax, or any change in the

application or official interpretation of such laws or regulations, which change or amendment

becomes effective on or after the Issue Date (and in respect of any Subordinated Note, which

23

the Issuer did not expect as at the Issue Date of that Subordinated Note) of any Security (as

specified in the Pricing Supplement):


(i) in the case of any Note, the Issuer has or will become obliged to pay any additional

amounts as provided in Condition 8 (Taxation);


(ii) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement, the

Issuer or the consolidated tax group of which it is a member would be exposed to more

than a de minimis amount of other taxes, levies, imposts, charges and duties (including

stamp and transaction duties) imposed by any authority together with any related interest,

penalties and expenses in connection with them, assessments or other governmental

charges in connection with any Security; or


(iii) in the case of any Subordinated Note only and if specified in the Pricing Supplement, the

Issuer determines that any interest payable on any Security is not, or may not be, allowed

as a deduction for the purposes of Australian income tax,


the Issuer may at its option, at any time (if the Security is neither a Floating Rate Security nor an

Index Linked Interest Security) or on any Interest Payment Date (in the case of Floating Rate

Securities or Index Linked Interest Securities) and subject to Condition 5.8 in the case of any

Subordinated Note, on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Registered

Holders of the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some only,

of the Securities of the relevant Series at their Early Redemption Amount together with interest

accrued to the date fixed for redemption, provided that no such notice of redemption shall be

given earlier than 90 days prior to the earliest date on which the Issuer would be obliged to pay

such additional amounts were a payment in respect of the Securities then due. Prior to the

publication of any notice of redemption pursuant to this Condition 5.2, the Issuer shall deliver to

the Registrar a certificate signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director, a Senior

Executive or an authorised representative (or equivalent status) of the Issuer stating that the

Issuer is entitled to effect such redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts showing that

the conditions precedent to the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.


5.2A Redemption of Subordinated Notes for regulatory reasons


If specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, if a Regulatory Event occurs, the Issuer may at

its option, at any time (if the Subordinated Note is not a Floating Rate Security) or on any Interest

Payment Date (in the case of a Subordinated Note that is a Floating Rate Security) and subject

to Condition 5.8 on giving not more than 60 nor less than 30 days’ notice to the Subordinated

Noteholders of the relevant Series (which notice shall be irrevocable) redeem all, but not some

only, of the Subordinated Notes of the relevant Series at their Early Redemption Amount together

with interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Prior to the publication of any notice of

redemption pursuant to this Condition 5.2A, the Issuer shall deliver to the Registrar a certificate

signed by two persons each of whom is either a Director, a Senior Executive or an authorised

representative (or equivalent status) of the Issuer stating that the Issuer is entitled to effect such

redemption and setting forth a statement of the facts showing that the conditions precedent to

the right of the Issuer so to redeem have occurred.


For the purposes of this Condition, “Regulatory Event” means the receipt by the directors

of the Issuer of:


(i) an opinion from a reputable legal counsel that as a result of any amendment to,

clarification of or change (including any announcement of a change that has been

or will be introduced) in, any law or regulation of Australia, or any official administrative

pronouncement or action or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or

regulations, which amendment, clarification or change is effective, or

pronouncement, action or decision is announced, after the Issue Date; or


(ii) an official written statement from APRA,

24

that, in each case, the Issuer is not or will not be entitled to treat all Subordinated Notes of a

Series as Tier 2 Capital, provided that, in each case, on the Issue Date of the Subordinated

Notes, the Issuer did not expect that matters giving rise to the Regulatory Event would occur.


5.3 Early Redemption of Zero Coupon Securities


(i) The Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon Security that does

not bear interest prior to the Maturity Date, the Early Redemption Amount of which is not

linked to an index and/or a formula, upon redemption of such Security pursuant to

Condition 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 or upon it becoming due and payable as provided in Condition

10 (Events of Default), shall be the Amortised Face Amount (calculated as provided

below) of such Security unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement.


(ii) Subject to the provisions of sub-paragraph (iii) below, the “Amortised Face Amount” of

any such Security shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Security on

the Maturity Date discounted to the date of its early redemption at a rate per annum

(expressed as a percentage) equal to the “Amortisation Yield” (which, if none is set out

in the Pricing Supplement, shall be such rate as would produce an Amortised Face

Amount equal to the Issue Price of the Securities if such Securities were discounted back

from the Maturity Date to the relevant Issue Date) compounded annually. Where such

calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on the basis

of the Day Count Fraction set out in the Pricing Supplement.


(iii) If the Early Redemption Amount payable in respect of any such Security upon its

redemption pursuant to Condition 5.2, 5.4 or 5.5 or upon it becoming due and payable as

provided in Condition 10 (Events of Default), is not paid when due, the Early Redemption

Amount due and payable in respect of such Security shall be the Amortised Face Amount

of such Security as defined in sub-paragraph (ii) above, except that such sub-paragraph

shall have effect as though the reference therein to the date on which the Security

becomes due and payable were replaced by a reference to the Relevant Date. The

calculation of the Amortised Face Amount in accordance with this sub-paragraph shall

continue to be made (after, as well as before, judgment) until the Relevant Date, unless

the Relevant Date falls on or after the Maturity Date, in which case the amount due and

payable shall be the scheduled Final Redemption Amount of such Security on the Maturity

Date together with any interest that may accrue in accordance with Condition 4.4.


Where such calculation is to be made for a period of less than one year, it shall be made on the

basis of the Day Count Fraction.


5.4 Redemption at the Option of the Issuer and Exercise of the Issuer's Options


If a Call Option is included in the Pricing Supplement and subject to Condition 5.8 in the case of

any Subordinated Note, the Issuer may, on giving not less than five or more than 30 days’

irrevocable notice (subject to such other notice period as may be specified in the Pricing

Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”) to the Registered Holders redeem or exercise any

Issuer’s option (as may be described in the Pricing Supplement) in relation to all or, if so provided,

some of the Securities on any Optional Redemption Date (which, in the case of a Subordinated

Note, may not be before the fifth anniversary of the Issue Date of that Subordinated Note). Any

such redemption of Securities shall be at their Optional Redemption Amount together with interest

accrued to the date fixed for redemption. Any such redemption or exercise of the Issuer's option

shall just relate to Securities of a Principal Amount at least equal to the Minimum Redemption

Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement and no greater than the Maximum

Redemption Amount to be redeemed specified in the Pricing Supplement.


All Securities in respect of which any such notice is given shall be redeemed, or the Issuer’s

option shall be exercised, on the date specified in such notice in accordance with this Condition.


In the case of a partial redemption or a partial exercise of an Issuer’s option, the notice to

Registered Holders shall also contain details of the Principal Amount of Securities to be redeemed

or in respect of which such option has been exercised, which shall have been drawn in such place

25

as may be fair and reasonable in the circumstances, having regard to prevailing market practices

and in such manner as it deems appropriate, subject to compliance with any applicable laws and

stock exchange requirements.


5.5 Redemption at the Option of Registered Holders and Exercise of Registered Holders'

Options


If a Put Option is specified in the Pricing Supplement, the Issuer shall, at the option of the

Registered Holder of such Security, upon the Registered Holder of such Security giving not less

than 15 nor more than 30 days’ notice to the Issuer (subject to such other notice period as may

be specified in the Pricing Supplement under “Option Exercise Date”), redeem such Security on

the Optional Redemption Date(s) so provided at its Optional Redemption Amount together with

interest accrued to the date fixed for redemption. No such notice may be withdrawn without the

prior consent of the Issuer or if, prior to the due date for its redemption or the exercise of the

option, the relevant Security becomes immediately due and payable.


To exercise such option or any other Registered Holder’s option that may be set out in the Pricing

Supplement, the Registered Holder must complete, sign and deliver to the Registrar within the

notice period, a redemption notice (in the form obtainable from the Registrar) together with any

Certificate held by the Registered Holder relating to the Securities to be transferred and such

evidence as the Registrar may require to establish the rights of that Registered Holder to the

relevant Securities.


A Put Option may not be specified in the Pricing Supplement in respect of Subordinated Notes.


5.6 Purchases


The Issuer is taken to represent as at the date of issue of each Security, that it does not know or

have any reasonable grounds to suspect that that Security or any interest in or right in respect of

that Security is being or will later be, acquired either directly or indirectly by an Offshore Associate

of the Issuer acting other than in the capacity of a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to

the placement of the Securities or a clearing house, custodian, funds manager or responsible

entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the Corporations Act.


The Issuer and:


(i) in the case of the Subordinated Notes, any of its Related Entities; and


(ii) in any other case, any of its subsidiaries,


may, to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations and subject to Condition 5.8 in

the case of any Subordinated Note, at any time purchase Securities in the open market or

otherwise. Securities purchased by the Issuer, any of its Related Entities or any of its subsidiaries

may be surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer to the Registrar for cancellation or, may

be held or resold, in each case at the option of the Issuer, the relevant Related Entity or the

relevant subsidiary. In the event that Securities are purchased by the Issuer, any of its Related

Entities or any of its subsidiaries but not cancelled the Issuer, the relevant Related Entity or the

relevant subsidiary will relinquish any voting rights in respect of those purchased Securities.




5.7 Cancellation


All Securities redeemed by the Issuer or surrendered by the purchaser through the Issuer for

cancellation shall be surrendered for cancellation by the Issuer or purchaser notifying the

Registrar and surrendering to the Registrar any Certificates held by the Registered Holder relating

to the Securities to be cancelled by the Registrar and if so surrendered, the Securities will be

cancelled forthwith. Any Securities so surrendered for cancellation may not be reissued or resold

and the obligations of the Issuer in respect of any such Securities shall be discharged.


5.8 Consent of APRA

26


Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Condition 5, the Issuer may not (i) redeem any

Subordinated Notes under Conditions 5.2, 5.2A or 5.4 above or (ii) prior to the Maturity Date

purchase, or procure that any of its Related Entities purchase, any Subordinated Notes under

Condition 5.6 above without the prior written approval of APRA. In addition, the prior written

approval of APRA is required to modify, abrogate, vary or compromise the terms of any Series

of Subordinated Notes where such action may affect the eligibility of such Subordinated Notes

as Tier 2 Capital.


Subordinated Noteholders should not expect that APRA’s approval will be given for any

redemption or purchase of Subordinated Notes.


5.9 Conditions to redemption for Subordinated Notes


Without limiting Condition 5.8, the Issuer will not be permitted to redeem any Subordinated

Note unless the Subordinated Note is replaced concurrently or beforehand with Regulatory

Capital of the same or better quality and the replacement of the Subordinated Note is done

under conditions that are sustainable for the Issuer’s income capacity or APRA is satisfied that

the Issuer’s capital position is well above its minimum capital requirements after the

Issuer elects to redeem the Subordinated Note.


5A. Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Non-Viability Trigger Event


5A.1. Application to Subordinated Notes only


Conditions 5A, 5B and 5C apply only to Subordinated Notes. Schedule A to these Conditions

(including the defined terms therein) shall be deemed to form part of, and be incorporated in,

Condition 5B.


5A.2 Non-Viability Trigger Event


A “Non-Viability Trigger Event” means the earlier of:


(i) the issuance to the Issuer of a written determination from APRA that conversion or write-

off of Relevant Securities is necessary because, without it, APRA considers that the

Issuer would become non-viable; or


(ii) a determination by APRA, notified to the Issuer in writing, that without a public sector

injection of capital, or equivalent support, the Issuer would become non-viable,


each such determination being a “Non-Viability Determination”.


5A.3 Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


If a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs:


(i) on the Trigger Event Date, subject only to Condition 5B.5, such Principal Amount of the

Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is applicable

as specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is required by the Non-Viability

Determination provided that:


(a) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 5A.2(i) and such

Non-Viability Determination does not require all Relevant Securities to be

converted into Ordinary Shares or written-off, such Principal Amount of the

Subordinated Notes shall Convert or be Written-Off (whichever is applicable as

specified in the Pricing Supplement) as is sufficient (determined by the Issuer in

accordance with Condition 5A.3(ii)) to satisfy APRA that the Issuer is viable

without further conversion or write-off; and

27

(b) where the Non-Viability Trigger Event occurs under Condition 5A.2(ii), all the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes will immediately Convert or be

Written-Off (whichever is applicable as specified in the Pricing Supplement).


(ii) the Issuer will determine the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes which must be

Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in accordance with Condition 5A.3(i)(a), on

the following basis:


(a) first, convert into Ordinary Shares or write-off all Relevant Tier 1 Securities; and


(b) secondly, if conversion into Ordinary Shares or write-off of all Relevant Tier 1

Securities is not sufficient to satisfy the requirements of Condition 5A.3(i)(a) (and

provided that as a result of the conversion or write-off of Relevant Tier 1 Capital

Securities APRA has not withdrawn the Non-Viability Determination), Convert or

Write-Off (as applicable) a Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes and convert

into Ordinary Shares or write-off a number or principal amount of other Relevant

Tier 2 Securities on an approximately pro-rata basis or in a manner that is

otherwise, in the opinion of the Issuer, fair and reasonable (subject to such

adjustment as the Issuer may determine to take into account the effect on

marketable parcels and the need to round to whole numbers the number of

Ordinary Shares and the authorised denominations of the Principal Amount of

any Subordinated Note or the number or principal amount of other Relevant Tier

2 Securities remaining on issue, and the need to effect the conversion

immediately) and, for the purposes of this Condition 5A.3(ii)(b), where the

specified currency of the principal amount of Relevant Tier 2 Securities is not the

same for all Relevant Tier 2 Securities, the Issuer may treat them as if converted

into a single currency of the Issuer’s choice at such rate of exchange as the Issuer

in good faith considers reasonable,


provided that such determination does not impede or delay the immediate Conversion

or Write-Off (as applicable) of the relevant Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes;


(iii) on the Trigger Event Date, the Issuer shall determine the Subordinated Notes or

portions thereof as to which the Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) is to take effect

and in making that determination may make any decisions with respect to the identity of

the Subordinated Noteholders at that time as may be necessary or desirable to ensure

Conversion or Write-off (as applicable) occurs in an orderly manner, including

disregarding any transfers of Subordinated Notes that have not been settled or

registered at that time provided that such determination does not impede or delay the

immediate Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) of the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes;


(iv) the Issuer must give notice of its determination pursuant to Condition 5A.3(iii) (a

“Trigger Event Notice”) as soon as practicable to the Subordinated Noteholders,

which must specify:


(a) the Trigger Event Date;


(b) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes Converted or Written-Off (as

applicable); and


(c) the relevant number or principal amount of other Relevant Securities converted

or written-off;


(v) none of the following events shall prevent, impede or delay the Conversion or Write-Off

(as applicable) of Subordinated Notes as required by Condition 5A.3(i):


(a) any failure or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant Securities;


(b) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice;

28


(c) any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in complying

with the provisions of Condition 5A.4;


(d) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes to be Converted or Written-Off (as applicable) in accordance

with Condition 5A.3(ii)(b) or 5A.3(iii); and


(e) in the case of Conversion only, any failure or delay in quotation of Ordinary

Shares to be issued on Conversion.


If a Non-Viability Determination takes effect, the Issuer must perform the obligations in

respect of the determination immediately on the day it is received by the Issuer, whether or

not such day is a Business Day.


5A.4 Conversion or Write-Off of a whole or of a portion of a Subordinated Note


Subject to Condition 5D.2(iii)(b), in respect of any Subordinated Note which is Converted or

Written-Off:


(i) the Issuer shall notify the Registrar of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note

that has been Converted or Written-Off (whether in whole or in part) and instruct the

Registrar to reflect this Conversion or Write-Off (as applicable) in the Register so that

the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note is reduced, in the case of a

Subordinated Note Converted or Written-Off in whole, to zero, or, in the case of a

Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off in part, to an amount equal to the

non-Converted or non-Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of

such Subordinated Note;


(ii) in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written-Off only in part:


(a) where the date of the Conversion or Write-off is not an Interest Payment Date,

the amount of interest payable in respect of that Subordinated Note on each

Interest Payment Date falling after that date will be reduced and calculated on

the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note as reduced on that date;


(b) for the purposes of any interest calculation, the Interest Amount, the Fixed

Coupon Amount, the Broken Amount and any related amount in respect of that

Subordinated Note shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal

Amount Converted or Written-Off in respect of that Subordinated Note bears to

the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note before such Conversion or Write-

Off;


(c) the Early Redemption Amount, the Final Redemption Amount, the Optional

Redemption Amount, the Specified Denomination and Principal Amount or any

related amount shall be reduced in the same proportion as the Principal Amount

Converted or Written-Off in respect of that Subordinated Note bears to the

Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note before such Conversion or Write-Off;

and


(iii) if a Certificate has been issued to the relevant Subordinated Noteholder in respect of

such Subordinated Note, then, if the Issuer so requires, such Subordinated Noteholder

shall surrender such Certificate to the Issuer (or, if the Issuer so directs, to the

Registrar) and, in the case of a Subordinated Note which is Converted or Written- Off

only in part, the Issuer shall deliver to the Subordinated Noteholder, a new Certificate

for a Subordinated Note with a Principal Amount equal to the non-Converted or non-

Written-Off (as applicable) portion of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note.

29

5B. Conversion of Subordinated Notes


5B.1 Conversion of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


Unless "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 5B

shall apply to the Subordinated Notes and, notwithstanding any other provision in these

Conditions, on the Trigger Event Date the relevant Principal Amount (as determined under

Condition 5A.3) of the Subordinated Notes will Convert immediately and irrevocably.


From the Trigger Event Date, subject to Conditions 5B.5 and 5B.6(iii)(c), the Issuer shall treat

any Subordinated Noteholder of any Subordinated Note or portion thereof which is required to

be Converted as the holder of the relevant number of Ordinary Shares and will take all such

steps, including updating any register, required to record the Conversion and the issuance of

such Ordinary Shares.


5B.2 Provision of information


Where a Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is required to be Converted under Condition

5B, a Subordinated Noteholder of Subordinated Notes or portion thereof that are subject to

Conversion wishing to receive Ordinary Shares must, no later than the Trigger Event Date (or,

in the case where Condition 5B.4(vi) applies, within 30 days of the date on which Ordinary

Shares are issued upon such Conversion), have provided to the Issuer:


(i) its name and address (or the name and address of any person in whose name it directs

the Ordinary Shares to be issued) for entry into any register of title and receipt of any

certificate or holding statement in respect of any Ordinary Shares;


(ii) the security account details of such Subordinated Noteholder in CHESS or such other

account to which the Ordinary Shares may be credited; and


(iii) such other information as is reasonably requested by the Issuer for the purposes of

enabling it to issue the Conversion Number of Ordinary Shares to such Subordinated

Noteholder,


and the Issuer has no duty to seek or obtain such information.


5B.3 Failure to Convert


Subject to Condition 5B.4 and Condition 5B.5, if, in respect of a Conversion of Subordinated

Notes, the Issuer fails to issue, on the Trigger Event Date, the Conversion Number of Ordinary

Shares in respect of the relevant Principal Amount of such Subordinated Notes to, or in

accordance with the instructions of, the relevant Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event

Date or any other nominee where Condition 5B.4 applies, the Principal Amount of such

Subordinated Notes which would otherwise be subject to Conversion shall remain on issue and

outstanding until:


(i) the Ordinary Shares are issued to, or in accordance with the instructions of, the

Subordinated Noteholder of such Subordinated Notes; or


(ii) such Subordinated Notes are Written-Off in accordance with these Conditions;


provided that the sole right of the Subordinated Noteholder in respect of Subordinated Notes or

portion thereof that are subject to Conversion is its right to be issued Ordinary Shares upon

Conversion (subject to its compliance with Condition 5B.2 or to receive the proceeds from their

sale pursuant to Condition 5B.4, as applicable) and the remedy of such Subordinated

Noteholder in respect of the Issuer’s failure to issue the Ordinary Shares is limited (subject

always to Condition 5B.5) to seeking an order for specific performance of the Issuer’s obligation

to issue the Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder or where Condition 5B.4 applies

to the nominee and to receive such proceeds of sale, in each case, in accordance with the

30

terms of the Subordinated Notes. This Condition 5B.3 does not affect the obligation of the

Issuer to issue the Ordinary Shares when required in accordance with these Conditions.


5B.4 Issue to nominee


If, in respect of a Subordinated Note and a Subordinated Noteholder of that Subordinated Note,

the Subordinated Note or portion thereof is required to be Converted and:


(i) the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the Issuer that it does not wish to receive

Ordinary Shares as a result of the Conversion (whether entirely or to the extent

specified in the notice), which notice may be given at any time prior to the Trigger

Event Date;


(ii) the Subordinated Notes are held by a Subordinated Noteholder whose address in the

register is a place outside Australia or who the Issuer otherwise believes may not be a

resident of Australia (a “Foreign Holder”);


(iii) for any reason (whether or not due to the fault of the Subordinated Noteholder) the

Issuer has not received the information required by Condition 5B.2 prior to the Trigger

Event Date and the lack of such information would prevent the Issuer from issuing the

Ordinary Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder on the Trigger Event Date; or


(iv) a FATCA Withholding is required to be made in respect of the Ordinary Shares issued

on Conversion,


then, on the Trigger Event Date:


(v) where Condition 5B.4(i), 5B.4(ii) or 5B.4(iv) applies, the Issuer shall issue the Ordinary

Shares to the Subordinated Noteholder only to the extent (if at all) that:


(a) where Condition 5B.4(i) applies, the Subordinated Noteholder has notified the

Issuer that it wishes to receive them;


(b) where Condition 5B.4(ii) applies, the Issuer is satisfied that the laws of both

Australia and the Foreign Holder’s country of residence permit the issue of

Ordinary Shares to the Foreign Holder (but as to which the Issuer is not bound to

enquire), either unconditionally or after compliance with conditions which the

Issuer in its absolute discretion regards as acceptable and not unduly onerous;

and


(c) where Condition 5B.4(iv) applies, the issue is net of the FATCA Withholding;


and, to the extent the Issuer is not obliged to issue Ordinary Shares to the

Subordinated Noteholder, the Issuer will issue the balance of the Ordinary Shares to

the nominee in accordance with Condition 5B.4(vi); and


(vi) otherwise, subject to applicable law, the Issuer will issue the balance of Ordinary

Shares in respect of the Subordinated Noteholder to a competent nominee (which may

not be the Issuer or any of its Related Entities) and will promptly notify such

Subordinated Noteholder of the name of and contact information for the nominee and

the number of Ordinary Shares issued to the nominee on its behalf and, subject to

applicable law and:


(a) subject to Condition 5B.4(vi)(b), the nominee will as soon as reasonably possible

and no later than 35 days after issue of the Ordinary Shares sell those Ordinary

Shares and pay a cash amount equal to the net proceeds received, after

deducting any applicable brokerage, stamp duty and other taxes and charges, to

the Subordinated Noteholder;

31

(b) where Condition 5B.4(iii) applies, the nominee will hold such Ordinary Shares

and will transfer Ordinary Shares to such Subordinated Noteholder promptly after

such Subordinated Noteholder provides the nominee with the information

required to be provided by such Subordinated Noteholder under Condition 5B.2

(as if a reference in Condition 5B.2 to the Issuer is a reference to the nominee

and a reference to the issue of Ordinary Shares is a reference to the transfer of

Ordinary Shares) but only where such information is provided to the nominee

within 30 days of the date on which Ordinary Shares are issued to the nominee

upon Conversion of such Subordinated Note and failing which the nominee will

sell the Ordinary Shares and pay the proceeds to such Subordinated Noteholder

in accordance with Condition 5B.4(vi)(a); and


(c) where Condition 5B.4(iv) applies, the nominee shall deal with Ordinary Shares

the subject of a FATCA Withholding and any proceeds of their disposal in

accordance with FATCA;


(vii) nothing in this Condition 5B.4 shall affect the Conversion of the Subordinated Notes of

a Subordinated Noteholder who is not a person to which any of Condition 5B.4(i) to

5B.4(iv) (inclusive) applies; and


(viii) for the purposes of this Condition 5B.4, none of the Issuer or the nominee owes any

obligations or duties to the Subordinated Noteholders in relation to the price at which

Ordinary Shares are sold or has any liability for any loss suffered by a Subordinated

Noteholder as a result of the sale of Ordinary Shares.


5B.5 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes if Conversion is not effected within 5 Business Days

after a Trigger Event Date


Notwithstanding any other provision of Condition 5B and provided that "Write-Off – Applicable"

is not specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, where Subordinated Notes are required to

be Converted on the Trigger Event Date and Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the

Subordinated Notes that are subject to Conversion has not been effected within five Business

Days after the relevant Trigger Event Date for any reason (including an Inability Event):


(i) the relevant Principal Amount of each Subordinated Note which, but for this Condition

5B.5, would be Converted, will not be Converted and instead will be Written-Off with

effect on and from the Trigger Event Date; and


(ii) the Issuer shall notify the Subordinated Noteholders as promptly as practically possible

that Conversion of the relevant Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has not

occurred and that such Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes has been Written-

Off.


5B.6 Subordinated Noteholder acknowledgements


Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably:


(i) consents to becoming a member of the Issuer upon the Conversion of the relevant

Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes as required by this Condition 5B and agrees to

be bound by the constitution of the Issuer, in each case in respect of the Ordinary

Shares issued to such Subordinated Noteholder on Conversion;


(ii) acknowledges and agrees that it is obliged to accept Ordinary Shares upon a

Conversion of the Principal Amount Subordinated Notes it holds notwithstanding

anything that might otherwise affect a Conversion of such Principal Amount of

(a) any change in the financial position of the Issuer since the issue of such

Subordinated Notes;

32

(b) any disruption to the market or potential market for the Ordinary Shares or to

capital markets generally; or


(c) any breach by the Issuer of any obligation in connection with such Subordinated

Notes;


(iii) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 5A.3 applies:


(a) there are no other conditions to a Non-Viability Trigger Event occurring as and

(b) Conversion must occur immediately on the occurrence of a Non-Viability Trigger

Event and that may result in disruption or failures in trading or dealings in the

Subordinated Notes;


(c) it will not have any rights to vote in respect of any Conversion and that the

Subordinated Note does not confer a right to vote at any meeting of members of

the Issuer; and


(d) the Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion may not be quoted at the time of issue,

or at all;


(iv) acknowledges and agrees that where Condition 5B.5 applies, no conditions or events

will affect the operation of that Condition and such Subordinated Noteholder will not

have any rights to vote in respect of any Write-Off under that Condition and has no

claim against the Issuer arising in connection with the application of that Condition;


(v) acknowledges and agrees that such Subordinated Noteholder has no right to request a

Conversion of any Principal Amount of any Subordinated Notes or to determine

whether (or in what circumstances) the Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes it holds

is Converted; and


(vi) acknowledges and agrees that none of the following shall prevent, impede or delay the

Conversion or (where relevant) Write-Off of the Principal Amount of Subordinated

Notes:


(a) any failure to or delay in the conversion or write-off of other Relevant Securities;


(b) any failure or delay in giving a Trigger Event Notice or other notice required by

this Condition 5B;


(c) any failure or delay in quotation of the Ordinary Shares to be issued on

Conversion;


(d) any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other party in complying

with the provisions of Condition 5A.4; and


(e) any requirement to select or adjust the number or Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes to be Converted in accordance with Condition 5A.3(ii)(b) or

5A.3(iii).


5B.7 Meaning of “Written-Off”


For the purposes of Condition 5B, “Written-Off” shall mean that, in respect of a Subordinated

Note or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion and a Trigger Event Date:


(i) the Subordinated Note or portion thereof that is otherwise subject to Conversion will not

be Converted on that date and will not be Converted or redeemed under these

Conditions on any subsequent date; and

33

(ii) with effect on and from the Trigger Event Date, the rights of the relevant Subordinated

Noteholder of the Subordinated Note or portion thereof (including any right to receive

any payment thereunder including payments of principal and interest both in the future

and accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to such Subordinated

Note or portion thereof are immediately and irrevocably terminated and written-off; and


“Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.


5C Write-Off of Subordinated Notes


5C.1 Write-Off of Subordinated Notes on Trigger Event Date


If "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, Condition 5C shall

apply to the Subordinated Notes and on the Trigger Event Date the rights of the Subordinated

Noteholder of the relevant Subordinated Notes in relation to the relevant Principal Amount (as

determined under Condition 5A.3) of the Subordinated Notes are Written-Off (as that term is

defined for the purposes of Condition 5C).


Each Subordinated Noteholder irrevocably acknowledges and agrees that no conditions or

Event Date) in relation to such Subordinated Note or portion thereof are immediately and

irrevocably terminated and written-off, and “Write-Off” has a corresponding meaning.


5D Substitution of Issuer


5D.1 Application of this Conditions


Unless "Write-Off – Applicable" is specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement, this Condition

5D shall apply to the Subordinated Notes.


5D.2 Substitution of Approved NOHC


Where:


(i) either of the following occurs:


(a) a takeover bid is made to acquire all or some of the Ordinary Shares and such

offer is, or becomes, unconditional and either:


(A) the bidder has at any time during the offer period, a relevant interest

in more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares on issue; or


(B) the directors of the Issuer, acting as a board, issue a statement that

at least a majority of its directors who are eligible to do so have

recommended acceptance of such offer (in the absence of a higher

offer); or


(b) a court orders the holding of meetings to approve a scheme of arrangement under

Part 5.1 of the Corporations Act, which scheme would result in a person having

a relevant interest in more than 50% of the Ordinary Shares that will be on issue

after the scheme is implemented and:

34

(A) all classes of members of the Issuer pass all resolutions required to

approve the scheme by the majorities required under the

Corporations Act, to approve the scheme; and


(B) an independent expert issues a report that the proposals in

connection with the scheme are in the best interests of the holders of

Ordinary Shares; and


(ii) the bidder or the person having a relevant interest in the Ordinary Shares in the Issuer

after the scheme is implemented (or any entity that Controls the bidder or the person

having the relevant interest) is an Approved NOHC,


then the Issuer without further authority, assent or approval of the Subordinated Noteholders

may (but with the prior written approval of APRA):


(iii) amend these Conditions such that, unless APRA otherwise agrees, on the date the

Principal Amount of Subordinated Notes is to be Converted:


(a) each Subordinated Note that is being Converted in whole will be automatically

transferred by each holder of such Subordinated Note free from encumbrance

to the Approved NOHC on the date the Conversion is to occur;


(b) in respect of each Subordinated Note that is being Converted only in part, on

the date the Conversion is to occur:


(A) the Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note that is being

Converted shall be reduced to an amount equal to the non-Converted

portion of the Principal Amount of such Subordinated Note in

accordance with Condition 5A.4; and


(B) the Approved NOHC will be taken to hold a new Subordinated Note

with a Principal Amount equal to the Converted portion of the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Note being Converted,


provided that any failure or delay by a Subordinated Noteholder or any other

party in complying with the provisions of Condition 5D.2(iii)(b) shall not prevent,

impede or delay the Conversion or Write-Off of Subordinated Notes;


(c) each holder (or a nominee in accordance with Condition 5B.2 or 5B.4 (as

applicable), which provisions shall apply, mutatis mutandis, to such Approved

NOHC Ordinary Shares) of the Subordinated Note or portion thereof being

Converted will be issued a number of Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares equal

to the Conversion Number and the provisions of Schedule A to these Conditions

shall apply (with any necessary changes) to the determination of the number of

such Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares; and


(d) as between the Issuer and the Approved NOHC, each Subordinated Note held

by the Approved NOHC as a result of Condition 5D.2(iii)(b) will be automatically

Converted into a number of Ordinary Shares such that the total number of

Ordinary Shares held by the Approved NOHC by reason of such Conversion

increases by the number which equals the number of Approved NOHC Ordinary

Shares issued by the Approved NOHC to holders on Conversion; and


(iv) makes such other amendments as in the Issuer’s reasonable opinion are necessary

and appropriate to effect the substitution of an Approved NOHC as the provider of the

ordinary shares on Conversion in the manner contemplated by these Conditions,

including, where the terms upon which the Approved NOHC acquires the Issuer are

such that the number of Approved NOHC Ordinary Shares on issue immediately after

the substitution differs from the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately

before that substitution (not involving any cash payment or other distribution to or by

35

the holders of any such shares), an adjustment to any relevant VWAP or Issue Date

VWAP consistent with the principles of adjustment set out in Schedule A to these

Conditions.


5D.3 Notice of substitution of Approved NOHC


The Issuer shall give a notice to the Subordinated Noteholders as soon as practicable after

the substitution in accordance with Condition 5D.2 specifying the amendments to these

Conditions which will be made in accordance with Condition 5D.2 to effect the substitution of

an Approved NOHC as issuer of ordinary shares on Conversion.

6. PAYMENTS


6.1 Payments by the Issuer


(i) Payments in respect of interest or principal on any Security made by the Issuer to

Registered Holders will be made in accordance with details recorded with the Registrar

by 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.


(ii) When a Security is recorded in the Register as being held jointly, payment of interest or

principal (as the case may be) by the Issuer will be made to the Registered Holders in

their joint names unless requested otherwise (and in a form satisfactory to the Issuer) by

5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date.


6.2 Method of Payment


Payments in respect of each Security will be made:


(i) where the Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, by crediting on the relevant

Interest Payment Date or Maturity Date (determined in accordance with the Business Day

Convention specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) the amount then due to the

account of the relevant Registered Holder in accordance with the Austraclear

Regulations; or


(ii) if the relevant Securities have not been lodged or are removed from the Austraclear

System, by crediting on the relevant Interest Payment Date, in the case of payments of

interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of principal, the amount then due

to a bank account in Australia previously notified by the Registered Holder to the

Registrar. Each Interest Payment Date and Maturity Date shall be determined in

accordance with the Business Day Convention specified in the relevant Pricing

Supplement. If the Registered Holder has not notified the Registrar of such an account

by 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date or upon application by

the Registered Holder to the Registrar no later than 5.00pm local Registry Office time on

the relevant Record Date, payments in respect of the relevant Security will be made by

cheque mailed on the Business Day immediately preceding the relevant Interest Payment

Date in the case of payments of interest or on the Maturity Date, in the case of payments

of principal, at the Registered Holder’s risk to the Registered Holder (or to the first named

of joint Registered Holders) of such Security at the address appearing in the Register as

at 5.00pm local Registry Office time on the relevant Record Date. Cheques to be

despatched to the nominated address of a Registered Holder will in such case be deemed

to have been received by the Registered Holder on the relevant Interest Payment Date,

in the case of payments of interest, or the Maturity Date, in the case of payments of

principal, and no further amount will be payable by the Issuer in respect of the relevant

36

Security as a result of payment not being received by the Registered Holder on the due

date.


No payment of interest will be mailed to an address in the United States or transferred to an

account maintained by the Registered Holder in the United States.


6.3 Payments Subject to Fiscal Laws


All payments are subject in all cases to any applicable fiscal or other laws, regulations and

directives, but without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 8 (Taxation). No commission or

expenses shall be charged to the Registered Holders in respect of such payments.


6.4 Appointment of Agents


The Registrar and (if appointed) the Calculation Agent act solely as agents of the Issuer and do

not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any Registered Holder.

The Issuer reserves the right at any time to vary or terminate the appointment of the Registrar or

(if appointed) the Calculation Agent, provided that the Issuer shall at all times maintain (i) a

Registrar, (ii) one or more Calculation Agent(s) where the Conditions so require, and (iii) such

other agents as may be required by the rules of any stock exchange, listing authority and/or

quotation system on which the Securities may be admitted to listing, trading and/or quotation.

Notice of any change to the specified office of the Registrar or the Calculation Agent shall promptly

be given to the Registered Holders in accordance with Condition 14 (Notices).


7 TRANSFER


7.1 Transfer


(i) Unless Securities are lodged in the Austraclear System, and subject to Condition 7.2, all

applications to transfer Securities must be made by lodging with the Registrar a properly

completed transfer and acceptance form in the form approved by the Issuer and the

Registrar. Any Certificate relating to the Securities to be transferred must also be

surrendered to the Registrar. Transfer and acceptance forms are available from any

Registry Office. Each Registry Office will provide prompt marking and transfer services.

Each transfer form must be accompanied by such evidence (if any) as the Registrar may

require to prove the title of the transferor or the transferor’s right to transfer the Security,

and be signed by both the transferor and the transferee. The transfer takes effect upon

the transferee’s name being entered on the Register.


(ii) Securities lodged in the Austraclear System will be transferable only in accordance with

the Austraclear Regulations.


7.2 Limit on Transfer


(i) Securities may only be transferred within, to or from Australia in the denominations

specified in the Pricing Supplement and if the consideration payable at the time of transfer

is a minimum amount of A$500,000 (in either case, disregarding moneys lent by the

transferor or its associates) or the transfer otherwise does not require disclosure to

investors in accordance with Part 6D.2 and Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act.


(ii) Securities may only be transferred between persons in a jurisdiction or jurisdictions other

than Australia if the transfer is in compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the

transfer takes place and the transfer of the Securities otherwise does not require

disclosure to investors in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the transfer

takes place.


7.3 Partial Transfers


Where a transferor executes a transfer of less than all Securities registered in its name, and the

identity of the specific Securities to be transferred are not identified, the Registrar may register

37

the transfer in respect of such of the Securities registered in the name of the transferor as the

Registrar thinks fit, provided the total Principal Amount of the Securities registered as having

been transferred equals the total Principal Amount of the Securities expressed to be transferred

in the transfer.


7.4 Closed Period


A transfer of a Security shall not be effective unless and until entered on the Register. The

Register will be closed for the purpose of determining entitlements to payments of interest and

repayments of any Principal Amount at 5:00 pm local Registry Office time on the Record Date

prior to the relevant Interest Payment Date, the relevant Maturity Date and any relevant

redemption date. Therefore, transfers must be received by the Registrar at the relevant Registry

Office prior to that time.


7.5 Stamp Duty


The Registered Holder is responsible for any stamp duties or other similar taxes which are

payable in any jurisdiction in connection with any transfer, assignment or other dealing with the

Securities.


7.6 Transmission


The Registrar must register a transfer of a Security to or by a person who is entitled to make or

receive the transfer in consequence of:


(i) death, bankruptcy, liquidation or winding-up of a Registered Holder; or


(ii) the making of a vesting order by a court or other body with power to make the order,


on receiving the evidence of entitlement that the Registrar or the Issuer requires.

If Austraclear Services Limited is the Registrar and Securities are lodged in the Austraclear

System, despite any other provision of those Conditions, these Securities are not transferable on

the Register, and the Issuer may not, and must procure that the Registrar does not, register any

transfer of those Securities issued by it and no member of the Austraclear System has the right

to request any registration of any transfer of the relevant Securities, except:


(i) for the purposes of any Conversion, Write-Off, repurchase, redemption or cancellation

(whether on or before the Maturity Date of the relevant Security) of the relevant Security,

a transfer of the relevant Security from Austraclear to the Issuer (or if applicable, to an

Approved NOHC in accordance with Condition 5D) may be entered in the Register; and


(ii) if Austraclear exercises or purports to exercise any power it may have under the

Austraclear Regulations from time to time for the Austraclear System or these Conditions,

to require the relevant Security to be transferred on the Register to a member of the

Austraclear System, the relevant Security may be transferred on the Register from

Austraclear to the member of the Austraclear System.


In any of these cases, the relevant Security will cease to be held in the Austraclear System.


8. TAXATION


8.1 General


Subject as provided below, all payments of principal and interest in respect of the Securities shall

be made free and clear of, and without withholding or deduction for, any taxes, duties,

assessments or governmental charges of whatever nature imposed, levied, collected, withheld or

38

assessed by or within Australia or by any authority therein or thereof having power to tax (together

Taxes), unless such withholding or deduction is required by law.


8.2 Issuer to pay Additional Amounts


Where such withholding or deduction is required by law, the Issuer shall pay such additional

amounts to the Registered Holders as shall result in receipt by those Registered Holders of such

amounts as would have been received by them had no such withholding or deduction been

required, except that no such additional amounts shall be payable with respect to any Security:


(i) in respect of which the Registered Holder thereof is liable to such Taxes, duties,

assessments or governmental charges in respect of such Security by reason of its

having some connection with Australia, other than the mere holding of such Security or

the receipt of the relevant payment in respect thereof; or


(ii) in respect of which the Registered Holder thereof is an Offshore Associate of the Issuer

(acting other than in the capacity of a clearing house, paying agent, custodian, funds

manager or responsible entity of a registered scheme within the meaning of the

Corporations Act); or


(iii) in respect of which the Taxes have been imposed or levied as a result of the

Registered Holder of such Security being party to or participating in a scheme to avoid

such Taxes, being a scheme which the Issuer was neither a party to nor participated in;

or


(iv) to, or to a third party on behalf of, an Australian resident Registered Holder or a non-

resident Registered Holder who is engaged in carrying on business in Australia at or

through a permanent establishment of the non-resident in Australia, if that person has

not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian business number or other

exemption details.


8.4 Tax File Number


The Issuer will deduct tax from payments of interest on the Securities at the highest marginal tax

rate plus the highest Medicare levy if an Australian resident investor or a non-resident investor

carrying on business in Australia at or through a permanent establishment of the non-resident in

Australia has not supplied an appropriate tax file number, Australian Business Number or

exemption details.


8.5 References


References in these Conditions to (i) ‘‘principal’’ shall be deemed to include any premium

payable in respect of the Securities (other than Subordinated Notes for which there is no premium

payable), all Instalment Amounts, Final Redemption Amounts, Early Redemption Amounts,

Optional Redemption Amounts, Amortised Face Amounts and all other amounts in the nature of

principal payable pursuant to Condition 5 (Redemption, Purchase and Options), or any

amendment or supplement to it, (ii) ‘‘interest’’ shall be deemed to include all Interest Amounts

and all other amounts payable pursuant to Condition 4 (Interest and other Calculations), or any

amendment or supplement to it and (iii) ‘‘principal’’ and/or ‘‘interest’’ shall be deemed to include

any additional amounts that may be payable under this Condition or any undertaking given in

addition to or substitution for it under the Deed Poll. Any additional amounts due in respect of the

Subordinated Notes will be subordinated in right of payment as described in Condition 3.3 (Status

– Subordinated Notes), Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated Notes) and

Condition 11 (Subordination).


If the Issuer is or becomes subject at any time to any taxing jurisdiction other than or in addition

to Australia, references in Condition 5.2 and Condition 8 shall be read and construed as including

references to such other taxing jurisdiction(s).


8.6 FATCA

39


The Issuer may withhold or make deductions from payments or from the issue of Ordinary Shares

to a Noteholder where it is required to do so under or in connection with FATCA, or where it has

reasonable grounds to suspect that the Noteholder or a beneficial owner of the Securities may be

subject to FATCA, and may deal with such payment, and any Ordinary Shares in accordance with

FATCA. If any withholding or deduction arises under or in connection with FATCA, the Issuer will

not be required to pay any further amounts or issue any further Ordinary Shares on account of

such withholding or deduction or otherwise reimburse or compensate, or make any payment to,

a Noteholder or a beneficial owner of the Securities for or in respect of any such withholding or

deduction. A dealing with such payment and any Ordinary Shares in accordance with FATCA

satisfies the Issuer’s obligations to that Noteholder to the extent of the amount of that payment or

issue of Ordinary Shares.


9. PRESCRIPTION


Claims against the Issuer for payment in respect of the Securities shall be prescribed and become

void unless made within ten years (in the case of principal) or five years (in the case of interest)

from the appropriate Relevant Date in respect of them.


10. EVENTS OF DEFAULT


10.1 Medium Term Notes


If any one of the following events (‘‘Events of Default’’) occurs and is continuing, the Registered

Holder of any Medium Term Note of any Series may give written notice to the Registrar at its

Registry Office that such Medium Term Note is immediately repayable, whereupon it shall

immediately become due and repayable at its Early Redemption Amount together with accrued

interest to the date of payment unless, prior to the date that such written notice is received by the

Registrar, the Issuer shall have cured or otherwise made good all Events of Default in respect of

the Medium Term Notes of such Series:


(i) default is made in the payment of any principal or Final Redemption Amount, Early

Redemption Amount, Optional Redemption Amount, Instalment Amount or Amortised

Face Amount (in the case of a Zero Coupon Security) (whether becoming due upon

redemption or otherwise) or interest when due, in respect of any Medium Term Note of

such Series, and such default continues for a period of seven days; or


(ii) the Issuer fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under any Medium Term Note

of such Series other than those specified in paragraph (i) above and in such case (except

where such failure is incapable of remedy) such failure continues for a period of 30 days

next following the service by any Registered Holder of any Medium Term Note of such

Series on the Issuer of written notice requiring the same to be remedied; or


(iii) otherwise than for the purpose of an amalgamation or reconstruction or merger within

the meaning of these words under the laws of Australia, a resolution is passed that the

Issuer be wound up or dissolved; or


(iv) the Issuer stops payment (within the meaning of Australian or any other applicable

bankruptcy law) of its obligations; or


(v) an encumbrancer takes possession of or a receiver is appointed of the whole or a

substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer and any such event is

continuing for 45 days after its occurrence and would materially prejudice the

performance by the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such Series

or a distress or execution is levied or enforced upon or sued out against the whole or a

substantial part of the undertaking and assets of the Issuer which would materially

prejudice the performance of the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes

of such Series and is not discharged within 60 days thereof; or

40

(vi) proceedings shall have been initiated against the Issuer under any applicable

bankruptcy, reorganisation or other similar law and such proceedings shall not have been

discharged or stayed within a period of 60 days; or


(vii) the Issuer shall initiate or consent to proceedings relating to itself under any applicable

bankruptcy, insolvency, composition or other similar law (otherwise than for the purpose

of amalgamation, reconstruction or merger (within the meaning of those words under the

laws of Australia)) and such proceedings would materially prejudice the performance by

the Issuer of its obligations under the Medium Term Notes of such Series.


Notwithstanding any other provision of this Condition 10.1 no Event of Default in respect of any

Medium Term Note shall occur solely on account of any failure by the Issuer to perform or observe

its obligations in relation to, or the taking of any process or proceeding in respect of any share,

note or other security or instrument constituting Tier 1 Capital or Tier 2 Capital.


10.1A Transferable Certificates of Deposit


If any of the events described in Condition 10.1 occur, that Condition 10.1 applies to Transferable

Certificates of Deposit as if references in that Condition 10.1 to Medium Term Notes were

references to Transferable Certificates of Deposit.


10.2 Subordinated Notes


The following are Events of Default with respect to Subordinated Notes:


(i) (a) the making of an order by a court of the State of Victoria, Australia or a court with

appellate jurisdiction from such court which is not successfully appealed or

permanently stayed within 60 days of the entry of such order; or


(b) the valid adoption by the Issuer 's shareholders of an effective resolution,


in each case for the winding-up of the Issuer (other than under or in connection with a

scheme of amalgamation or reconstruction not involving bankruptcy or insolvency); and


(ii) Subject to Condition 4.10:


(a) default in the payment of interest on any Subordinated Note when due, continued

for 30 days; or


(b) default in the payment of principal of any Subordinated Note when due.


Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default specified in paragraph (i) above, subject to the

subordination provisions, the Principal Amount of, and all accrued and unpaid interest on, the

Subordinated Notes will automatically become due and payable.


If an Event of Default contemplated by paragraph (ii) above with respect to any Subordinated

Notes occurs and is continuing, a Subordinated Noteholder may only, in order to enforce the

obligations of the Issuer under such Subordinated Notes:


(A) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraph (B) below, institute proceedings in the

State of Victoria, Australia (but not elsewhere) for the winding-up of the Issuer (all

subject to, and in accordance with, the terms of Condition 11 (Subordination)); or


(B) institute proceedings for recovery of the money then due, provided that the Issuer

will not, by virtue of the institution of any such proceedings (other than proceedings

for the winding-up of the Issuer) be obliged to pay any sums representing principal

or interest in respect of the Subordinated Notes sooner than the same would

otherwise have been payable by it and provided that the Issuer is Solvent at the

time of, and will be Solvent immediately after, any such payment.

41

No remedy against the Issuer other than those referred to in this Condition 10.2, shall be available

to the Subordinated Noteholders, whether for the recovery of amounts owing in respect of the

Subordinated Notes or in respect of any breach by the issuer of any of its other obligations under

or in respect of the Subordinated Notes.


10.3 Notification


If an Event of Default occurs under Conditions 10.1 or 10.2 above, the Issuer will promptly after

becoming aware of it notify the Registrar of the occurrence of the Event of Default specifying

details of it and use its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar promptly notifies the

Registered Holders of the occurrence of the Event of Default by registered post to the address

of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register.


11. SUBORDINATION


In the event of the winding-up of the Issuer constituting an Event of Default with respect to the

Subordinated Notes, there shall be payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes, subject to

the subordination provisions discussed above (see Condition 3.3 (Status – Subordinated Notes)

and Condition 4.10 (Condition of Payment – Subordinated Notes), an amount equal to the

Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes then outstanding, together with all accrued and

unpaid interest thereon to the repayment date.


As a result of the subordination provisions, no amount will be payable in the winding-up of the

Issuer in Australia in respect of the Subordinated Notes until all claims of Senior Creditors

admitted in the winding-up proceeding have been satisfied in full. By subscription for, or transfer

of, Subordinated Notes to a Subordinated Noteholder, that Subordinated Noteholder will be taken

to have agreed that no amount in respect of the Subordinated Notes will be repaid until all the

claims of the Senior Creditors admitted in the winding-up proceeding have been satisfied

accordingly. Accordingly, if proceedings with respect to the winding-up of the Issuer in Australia

were to occur, the Subordinated Noteholders could recover less relative to the holders of deposit

liabilities, the holders of Medium Term Notes and the holders of prior ranking subordinated

liabilities of the Issuer.


If in any such winding-up, the amount payable with respect to the Subordinated Notes and any

claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes cannot be paid in full, those Subordinated

Notes and other claims ranking equally with those Subordinated Notes will share relatively in any

distribution of the Issuer's assets in a winding-up in proportion to the respective amounts to which

they are entitled.


Any amount not paid due to Condition 4.10 (Conditions of Payment – Subordinated Notes) or

Condition 10.2 (Subordinated Notes), remains a debt owing to the Noteholder by the Issuer until

it is paid and will be payable on the first date on which payment can be made in compliance with

the relevant Condition.


12. MEETINGS OF REGISTERED HOLDERS, MODIFICATIONS AND WAIVER


12.1 Meetings of Registered Holders


Meetings of Registered Holders may be convened in accordance with the Meeting Provisions

contained in Schedule 2 to the Deed Poll. Any such meeting may consider any matters affecting

the interests of Registered Holders, including, without limitation, the variation of the terms of the

Securities by the Issuer and the granting of approvals, consents and waivers, and the declaration

of an Event of Default.


12.2 Modification of the Deed Poll


The Deed Poll may be amended by the Issuer, without the consent of any Registered Holder for

the purpose of curing any ambiguity or of curing, correcting or supplementing any defective

provision contained therein which does not, in the reasonable opinion of the Issuer, adversely

affect the interests of the Registered Holders. All other amendments to the Deed Poll must be

42

passed at a duly convened meeting of Registered Holders by an Extraordinary Resolution. The

Issuer will notify the Registrar of any amendments made pursuant to this Condition and will use

its reasonable endeavours to procure that the Registrar notifies the Registered Holders of the

amendment by post to the address of the Registered Holders recorded in the Register.


12.3 No modification, amendment or waiver which may affect Tier 2 Capital eligibility


The prior written approval of APRA is required in respect of any modification, amendment or

waiver in respect of the terms of any Series of Subordinated Notes where such modification,

amendment or waiver may affect the eligibility of any Series of Subordinated Notes as Tier 2

Capital.


13. FURTHER ISSUES OF SECURITIES


The Issuer may from time to time without the consent of the Registered Holders create and issue

further securities either having the same terms and conditions as the Securities in all respects

(or in all respects except for the Issue Date or first payment of interest on them) and so that such

further issue of securities shall be consolidated and form a single Series with the outstanding

Securities of any Series or upon such terms as the Issuer may determine at the time of their

issue. References in these Conditions to the Securities include (unless the context requires

otherwise) any other securities issued pursuant to this Condition and forming a single Series with

the Securities.


14. NOTICES


14.1 To Registered Holders


All notices by the Issuer to Registered Holders will be valid if posted by ordinary mail to the

relevant Registered Holder at its address appearing on the Register (or in the case of joint

Registered Holders to the first named).


Any such notice shall be deemed to have been given on the sixth Business Day after posting if

posted to an address in Australia and on the tenth Business Day if posted to an address outside

of Australia.


14.2 To the Issuer and Registrar


All notices by a Registered Holder to the Issuer and Registrar will be valid if posted by ordinary

mail to the Issuer and the Registrar at their addresses specified above. Unless a later time is

specified in it, a notice by a Registered Holder takes effect from the time it is received by the

Issuer or Registrar except that if it is received after 5.00pm in the place of receipt or not on a

Business Day, it is to be taken to be received at 9.00am on the next succeeding Business Day in

that place.


15. GOVERNING LAW


The Securities are governed by the laws in force in the State of Victoria and Australia.



43


SCHEDULE A TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE SECURITIES


1 Conversion


If the Issuer must Convert a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note in accordance with the

Conditions, then, subject to this Schedule A and Condition 5D.2 and unless the Pricing

Supplement specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number applies, the following provisions

apply:

(a) the Issuer will allot and issue on the Trigger Event Date a number of Ordinary Shares

in respect of the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note equal to the Conversion

Number, where the Conversion Number (but subject to the Conversion Number being

no more than the Maximum Conversion Number) is a number calculated according to

the following formula:

Conversion Number = =


Principal Amount

((1- CD) × VWAP)

where:

“CD” means the conversion discount specified in the applicable Pricing Supplement;

“VWAP” (expressed in dollars and cents) means the VWAP during the VWAP Period

and where the “Maximum Conversion Number” means a number calculated

according to the following formula:

Maximum Conversion =

Number

=


Principal Amount

Issue Date VWAP × 0.2


(b) on the Trigger Event Date, the rights of each holder of a Subordinated Note (including

to payment of interest with respect to such Principal Amount, both in the future and

as accrued but unpaid as at the Trigger Event Date) in relation to each Subordinated

Note or portion thereof that is being Converted will be immediately and irrevocably

terminated for an amount equal to the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note

that is being Converted and the Issuer will apply that Principal Amount by way of

payment for subscription for the Ordinary Shares to be allotted and issued under

Section 1(a) of this Schedule A. Each holder of the Subordinated Note is taken to

have irrevocably directed that any amount payable under Section 1 of this Schedule

A is to be applied as provided for in Section 1 of this Schedule A and no holder of the

Subordinated Note has any right to payment in any other way;

(c) any calculation under Section 1(a) of this Schedule A shall be, unless the context

requires otherwise, be rounded to four decimal places provided that if the total number

of additional Ordinary Shares to be allotted to a holder of the Subordinated Note in

respect of the aggregate Principal Amount of the Subordinated Notes it holds which

is being Converted includes a fraction of an Ordinary Share, that fraction of an

Ordinary Share will be disregarded; and

(d) the rights attaching to Ordinary Shares issued as a result of Conversion do not take

effect until 5.00pm (Melbourne, Australia time) on the Trigger Event Date (unless

another time is required for Conversion on that date). At that time all other rights

conferred or restrictions imposed on that Subordinated Note under the Conditions will

no longer have effect to the extent of the Principal Amount of that Subordinated Note

being Converted (except for the right to receive the Ordinary Shares as set forth in

Section 1 of this Schedule A and Condition 5B and except for rights relating to interest

which is payable but has not been paid on or before the Trigger Event Date which will

continue).




44

2 Adjustments to VWAP

For the purposes of calculating VWAP in the Conditions:

(a) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the relevant VWAP Period, Ordinary

Shares have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as cum dividend or

cum any other distribution or entitlement and the relevant Principal Amount of

Subordinated Notes will Convert into Ordinary Shares after the date those Ordinary

Shares no longer carry that dividend or any other distribution or entitlement, then the

VWAP on the Business Days on which those Ordinary Shares have been quoted cum

dividend or cum any other distribution or entitlement shall be reduced by an amount

(“Cum Value”) equal to:

(i) (in case of a dividend or other distribution), the amount of that dividend or other

distribution including, if the dividend or other distribution is franked, the amount

that would be included in the assessable income of a recipient of the dividend

or other distribution who is both a resident of Australia and a natural person

under the Tax Act;

(ii) (in the case of any other entitlement that is not a dividend or other distribution

under Section 2(a)(i) of this Schedule A which is traded on the Australian

Securities Exchange on any of those Business Days), the volume weighted

average sale price of all such entitlements sold on the Australian Securities

Exchange during the VWAP Period on the Business Days on which those

entitlements were traded; or

(iii) (in the case of any other entitlement which is not traded on the Australian

Securities Exchange during the VWAP Period), the value of the entitlement as

reasonably determined by the directors of the Issuer; and

(b) where, on some or all of the Business Days in the VWAP Period, Ordinary Shares

have been quoted on the Australian Securities Exchange as ex dividend or ex any

other distribution or entitlement, and the relevant Principal Amount of Subordinated

Notes will Convert into Ordinary Shares which would be entitled to receive the relevant

dividend or other distribution or entitlement, the VWAP on the Business Days on which

those Ordinary Shares have been quoted ex dividend or ex any other distribution or

entitlement shall be increased by the Cum Value.

3 Adjustments to VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) Where during the relevant VWAP Period there is a change in the number of the

Ordinary Shares on issue as a result of a division, consolidation or reclassification of

the Issuer’s share capital (not involving any cash payment or other distribution (or

compensation) to or by holders of Ordinary Shares) (a “Reorganisation”), in

calculating the VWAP for that VWAP Period the daily VWAP applicable on each day

in the relevant VWAP Period which falls before the date on which trading in Ordinary

Shares is conducted on a post Reorganisation basis shall be adjusted by the following

formula:

A

B

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 3(a) of this Schedule

A will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on holders of the Subordinated




45

Notes under these terms and these terms will be construed accordingly. Any such

adjustment must be promptly notified to all holders of the Subordinated Notes.

4 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP

For the purposes of determining the Issue Date VWAP, corresponding adjustments to VWAP

will be made in accordance with Section 2 and Section 3 of this Schedule A during the 20

Business Day period over which VWAP is calculated for the purposes of determining the Issue

Date VWAP. On and from the Issue Date adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP:

(a) may be made in accordance with Sections 5 to 7 of this Schedule A (inclusive); and

(b) if so made, will cause an adjustment to the Maximum Conversion Number.

5 Adjustments to Issue Date VWAP for bonus issues

(a) Subject to Section 5(b) of this Schedule A below, if at any time after the Issue Date

the Issuer makes a pro rata bonus issue of Ordinary Shares to holders of Ordinary

Shares generally, the Issue Date VWAP will be adjusted immediately in accordance

with the following formula:

V


V

V

= V

o X


RD

RD + RN

where:

V means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately after the application of this

formula;

V

o

means the Issue Date VWAP applying immediately prior to the application of this

formula;

RN means the number of Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the bonus issue; and

RD means the number of Ordinary Shares on issue immediately prior to the allotment

of new Ordinary Shares pursuant to the bonus issue.

(b) Section 5(a) of this Schedule A does not apply to Ordinary Shares issued as part of a

bonus share plan, employee or executive share plan, executive option plan, share top

up plan, share purchase plan or a dividend reinvestment plan.

(c) For the purpose of Section 5(a) of this Schedule A, an issue will be regarded as a pro

rata issue notwithstanding that the Issuer does not make offers to some or all holders

of Ordinary Shares with registered addresses outside Australia, provided that in so

doing the Issuer is not in contravention of the ASX Listing Rules.

(d) No adjustments to the Issue Date VWAP will be made under this Section 5 of this

Schedule A for any offer of Ordinary Shares not covered by Section 5(a) of this

Schedule A, including a rights issue or other essentially pro rata issue.

(e) The fact that no adjustment is made for an issue of Ordinary Shares except as covered

by Section 5(a) of this Schedule A shall not in any way restrict the Issuer from issuing

Ordinary Shares at any time on such terms as it sees fit nor require any consent or

concurrence of any Subordinated Noteholders.

6 Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP for divisions and similar transactions

(a) If at any time after the Issue Date, a Reorganisation occurs, the Issuer shall adjust the

Issue Date VWAP by multiplying the Issue Date VWAP applicable on the Business

Day immediately before the date of any such Reorganisation by the following formula:

A

B




46

where:

A means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately before the

Reorganisation; and

B means the aggregate number of Ordinary Shares immediately after the

Reorganisation.

(b) Any adjustment made by the Issuer in accordance with Section 6(a) of this Schedule

will, absent manifest error, be effective and binding on Subordinated Noteholders

under these terms and these terms will be construed accordingly.

(c) Each Subordinated Noteholder acknowledges that the Issuer may, consolidate, divide

or reclassify securities so that there is a lesser or greater number of Ordinary Shares

at any time in its absolute discretion without any such action requiring any consent or

concurrence of any Subordinated Noteholders.

7 No Adjustment to Issue Date VWAP in certain circumstances

Despite the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 of this Schedule A, no adjustment shall be

made to the Issue Date VWAP where such adjustment (rounded if applicable) would be less

than one percent of the Issue Date VWAP then in effect.

8 Announcement of adjustment to Issue Date VWAP

The Issuer will notify Subordinated Noteholders (an “Adjustment Notice”) of any adjustment

to the Issue Date VWAP under this Schedule A within 10 Business Days of the Issuer

determining the adjustment and the adjustment set out in the announcement will be final and

binding.

9 Ordinary Shares

Each Ordinary Share issued or arising upon Conversion ranks pari passu with all other fully

paid Ordinary Shares.

10 Listing Ordinary Shares issued on Conversion

The Issuer shall use all reasonable endeavours to list the Ordinary Shares issued upon

Conversion of the Subordinated Notes on the Australian Securities Exchange.

11 Alternative Conversion Number

If the Issuer must Convert a Principal Amount of a Subordinated Note in accordance with the

Conditions and the Pricing Supplement specifies that the Alternative Conversion Number

applies, then:

(a) Section 1 of this Schedule A applies on the basis that the Conversion Number for the

purposes of Section 1(a) of this Schedule A is the number of Ordinary Shares

specified in the Pricing Supplement as the Alternative Conversion Number (subject to

the Alternative Conversion Number being no more than the Maximum Conversion

Number as determined in accordance with Section 1(a) of Schedule A); and

(b) Sections 2 to 8 (inclusive) of this Schedule A do not apply to the Alternative

Conversion Number.

12 Definitions

For the purposes of this Schedule A the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Cum Value” has the meaning given in Section 2 of this Schedule A.

“Issue Date VWAP” means, in respect of Subordinated Notes of a Series, the VWAP during

3. The Issuer may at any time convene a meeting. If the Issuer receives a written

request by Registered Holders holding at least 10 per cent of the aggregate Principal

Amount of the Securities of any Series for the time being outstanding and is

indemnified to its satisfaction against all costs and expenses, the Issuer shall convene

a meeting of the Registered Holders of that Series. Every meeting shall be held at a

time and place approved by the Issuer which must be in Victoria.

4. At least 21 days’ notice (exclusive of the day on which the notice is given and of the

day of the meeting) shall be given to the Registered Holders. A copy of the notice

shall be given by the party convening the meeting to the other parties. The notice

shall specify the day, time and place of meeting and the nature of the resolutions to

be proposed and shall explain how Registered Holders may appoint proxies or

representatives and the details of the time limits applicable.

Arrangements for Voting

5. A Registered Holder may, by an instrument in writing in the form available from the

Registrar in the English language executed by or on behalf of the Registered Holder

and delivered to the Registrar at least 24 hours before the time fixed for a meeting,

appoint any person (a proxy) to act on his behalf in connection with that meeting. A

proxy need not be a Registered Holder.

6. A corporation which is the Registered Holder of a Security may, by delivering to the

Registrar at least 24 hours before the time fixed for a meeting a certified copy of a

resolution executed under its common seal, executed in accordance with Section

127(1) of the Corporations Act or signed on its behalf by its duly appointed attorney

or a person authorised under Section 250D of the Corporations Act to act as the

corporation's representative at the meeting (with, if it is not in English, a certified

translation into English), authorise any person to act as its representative (a

representative) in connection with that meeting.

7. Any vote cast at a meeting by a proxy or a representative appointed by Registered

Holders in accordance with paragraphs 5 or 6 above is valid despite any previous

revocation or amendment of the appointment of the proxy or representative (as

applicable) or any of the relevant Registered Holder’s instructions pursuant to which

the form referred to in paragraph 5 was executed unless written notice of such

revocation or amendment is received from the relevant Registered Holder by the

Registrar in each case at least 24 hours before the time fixed for the meeting.

Chairman

8. The chairman of a meeting shall be such person as the Issuer may nominate in

writing, but if no such nomination is made or if the person nominated is not present

within 15 minutes after the time fixed for the meeting the Registered Holders or

agents present shall choose one of their number to be chairman, failing which the


50

Issuer may appoint a chairman. The chairman need not be a Registered Holder or

agent. The chairman of an adjourned meeting need not be the same person as the

chairman of the original meeting.

Attendance

9. The following may attend and speak at a meeting:

(a) Registered Holders and agents;

(b) the chairman;

(c) the Issuer and the Registrar (through their respective representatives) and

their respective financial and legal advisers; and

(d) the Dealers (if any).

No one else may attend or speak.

Quorum and Adjournment

10. No business (except choosing a chairman) shall be transacted at a meeting unless a

quorum is present at the commencement of business. If a quorum is not present

within 15 minutes from the time initially fixed for the meeting, it shall, if convened

on the requisition of Registered Holders, be dissolved. In any other case it shall be

adjourned until such date, not less than 14 nor more than 42 days later, and time and

place as the chairman may decide. If a quorum is not present within 15 minutes from

the time fixed for a meeting so adjourned, the meeting shall be dissolved.

11. Two or more Registered Holders or agents present in person shall be a quorum:

(a) in the cases marked ‘No minimum proportion’ in the table below, whatever

the proportion of the Securities which they represent; and

(b) in any other case, only if they represent the proportion of the Securities

shown by the table below.

12. The chairman may with the consent of (and shall if directed by) a meeting adjourn

the meeting from time to time and from place to place. Only business which could

have been transacted the original meeting may be transacted at a meeting adjourned

in accordance with this paragraph or paragraph 10.

13. At least 10 days’ notice of a meeting adjourned through want of a quorum shall be

given in the same manner as for an original meeting and that notice shall state the

quorum required at the adjourned meeting. No notice need, however, otherwise be

given of an adjourned meeting.


51

Voting

14. Each question submitted to a meeting shall be decided by a show of hands unless a

poll is (before, or on the declaration of the result of, the show of hands) demanded by

the chairman, the Issuer or one or more persons representing 2 per cent of the

Securities.

15. Unless a poll is demanded a declaration by the chairman that a resolution has or has

not been passed shall be conclusive evidence of the fact without proof of the number

or proportion of the votes cast in favour of or against it.

16. If a poll is demanded, it shall be taken in such manner and (subject as provided

below) either at once or after such adjournment as the chairman directs. The result of

the poll shall be deemed to be the resolution of the meeting at which it was demanded

as at the date it was taken. A demand for a poll shall not prevent the meeting

continuing for the transaction of business other than the question on which it has

been demanded.

17. A poll demanded on the election of a chairman or on a question of adjournment shall

be taken at once.

18. A Registered Holder or, in the case of a Security registered as being owned jointly,

the person whose name appears first on the Register as one of the owners of the

Security, is entitled to vote in respect of the Security either in person or by proxy.

19. Subject to paragraph 18, on a show of hands every person who is present in person

and is a Registered Holder or is a proxy or representative has one vote. On a poll

every such person has one vote in respect of each proportion of the Principal Amount

of the Securities equal to the minimum denomination of such Series of Securities

registered in that person’s name or in respect of which that person is a proxy or

representative. Without prejudice to the obligations of proxies, a person entitled to

more than one vote need not use them all or cast them all in the same way.

20. In case of equality of votes the chairman shall both on a show of hands and on a poll

have a casting vote in addition to any other votes which he may have.

Use of Ordinary Resolution

21. The Registered Holders have the power by Ordinary Resolution to do anything for

which an Extraordinary Resolution is not required.

Effect and Publication of an Extraordinary Resolution

22. An Extraordinary Resolution or Ordinary Resolution shall be binding on all the

Registered Holders, whether or not present at the meeting and each of them shall be

bound to give effect to it accordingly. The passing of such a resolution shall be

conclusive evidence that the circumstances justify its being passed. The Issuer shall

give notice of the passing of an Extraordinary Resolution or Ordinary Resolution to

Registered Holders within 14 days but failure to do so shall not invalidate the

resolution.

Resolutions in writing

23. A resolution is passed:

(a) if it is an Ordinary Resolution, where within one month from the

Notification Date, Registered Holders representing a clear majority of the

aggregate

Principal Amount of outstanding Securities of any Series as at

the Notification Date have signed the resolution; or


52

(b) if it is an Extraordinary Resolution, where within one month from the

Notification Date, Registered Holders representing at least 75% of the

aggregate

Principal Amount of outstanding Securities of any Series as at

the Notification Date have signed the resolution,

and any such resolution is deemed to have been passed on the date on which the last

Registered Holder whose signature on the resolution caused it to be so passed signed

it (as evidenced on its face). For the purpose of this paragraph, Notification Date

means the date stated in the copies of the resolutions to be made in writing sent for

that purpose to the Registered Holders, which must be no later than the date on which

the resolution is first notified to Registered Holders.

24. The accidental omission to give a copy of the resolution to, or the non-receipt of such

a copy by, any Registered Holder does not invalidate a resolution in writing made

pursuant to paragraph 23.

25. A resolution in writing signed by Registered Holders may be contained in one

document or in several documents in like form each signed by one or more

Registered Holders.

Minutes

26. The Registrar must keep minutes of the proceedings of every meeting of Registered

Holders. Minutes shall be made of all resolutions and proceedings at every meeting

and, if purporting to be signed by the chairman of that meeting or of the next

succeeding meeting, shall be conclusive evidence of the matters in them. Until the

contrary is proved, every meeting for which minutes have been so made and signed

shall be deemed to have been duly convened and held and all resolutions passed or

proceedings transacted at it to have been duly passed and transacted.

Austraclear

27. If Securities of any Series are lodged in the Austraclear System, all dealings

(including the convening and holding of meetings) in relation to those Securities

within the Austraclear System will be governed by the Austraclear Regulations and

need not comply with these Meeting Provisions to the extent of any inconsistency.
