Issuer’s responsibility

This Information Memorandum has been prepared by and issued with the authority of the Issuer. The Issuer accepts responsibility for the information contained in this Information Memorandum.

Documents incorporated by reference

This Information Memorandum is to be read in conjunction with all documents which are deemed to be incorporated by reference (see “Documents incorporated by reference” below). This Information Memorandum shall, unless otherwise expressly stated, be read and construed on the basis that such documents are so incorporated and form part of this Information Memorandum. References to “Information Memorandum” are to this Information Memorandum and to any other document incorporated by reference collectively and to any of them individually.

No independent verification

The only role of the Dealers, the Registrar and the I&P Agent (Offshore) (each as defined in the “Summary of the Programme”) in the preparation of this Information Memorandum has been to confirm to the Issuer that their respective descriptions under the heading “Directory” are accurate as at the Preparation Date (as defined below).

Apart from the foregoing, none of the Dealers, the Registrar nor the I&P Agent (Offshore) has independently verified the information contained in this Information Memorandum. Accordingly, no representation, warranty or undertaking, express or implied, is made, and no responsibility is accepted, by them as to the accuracy or completeness of this Information Memorandum or any further information supplied by the Issuer in connection with the Programme.

Independent advice

This Information Memorandum contains only summary information concerning the Notes. It is not intended to provide the basis of any credit or other evaluation in respect of the Issuer or the Notes and should not be considered as a recommendation by the Issuer, Arranger, the Dealers, the Registrar or the I&P Agent (Offshore) that any recipient of this Information Memorandum or any other financial statements should purchase any Notes or any rights in respect of any Notes. Each investor contemplating purchasing any Notes or any rights in respect of any Notes under the Programme should make (and shall be taken to have made) its own independent investigation of the financial condition and affairs of, and its own appraisal of the creditworthiness of, the Issuer.

No advice is given in respect of the taxation treatment of investors in connection with investment in any Notes and each investor is advised to consult its own professional adviser.

Currency of information

The information contained in this Information Memorandum is prepared as of its Preparation Date. Neither the delivery of this Information Memorandum nor any offer, issue or sale made in connection with this Information Memorandum at any time implies that the information contained in it concerning the Issuer is correct at any time subsequent to the Preparation Date or that any other information supplied in connection with the Programme is correct as of any time subsequent to the Preparation Date. In particular, the Issuer is under no obligation to update this Information Memorandum at any time after an issue of Notes.

In this Information Memorandum, “Preparation Date” means:

· in relation to this Information Memorandum, the date indicated on its face or, if the Information Memorandum has been amended or supplemented, the date indicated on the face of that amendment or supplement;

· in relation to the Annual Report and any financial statements incorporated in this Information Memorandum, the date up to, or as at, the date on which the Annual Reports and statements relate; and

· in relation to any other item of information which is to be read in conjunction with this Information Memorandum, the date indicated on its face as being its date of release.

The Dealers, the Registrar and the I&P Agent (Offshore) expressly do not undertake to review the financial condition or affairs of the Issuer during the life of the Programme. Investors should review, amongst other things, the documents deemed to be incorporated in this Information Memorandum by reference when deciding whether or not to purchase any Notes. Also, the Issuer makes filings with regulatory authorities from time to time, which may include information material to investors. Copies of such filings are available from the Issuer on request.

No authorisation

No person has been authorised to give any information or make any representations not contained in or consistent with this Information Memorandum in connection with the Issuer, the Programme or the issue or sale of the Notes and, if given or made, such information or representation must not be relied on as having been authorised by the Issuer or any of the Dealers.

Distribution arrangements

The distribution of this Information Memorandum and any Pricing Supplement and the offer or sale of Notes may be restricted by law in certain jurisdictions. None of the Issuer, the Dealers, the Registrar nor the I&P Agent (Offshore) represents that this document may be lawfully distributed, or that any Notes may be lawfully offered, in compliance with any applicable registration or other requirements in any such jurisdiction, or under an exemption available in that jurisdiction, or assume any responsibility for facilitating any such distribution or offering. In particular, no action has been taken by the Issuer, the Dealers, the Registrar or the I&P Agent (Offshore) which would permit a public offering of any Notes or distribution of this Information Memorandum in any jurisdiction where action for that purpose is required.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (“Securities Act”) or the securities laws of any state in the United States. The Notes may not be offered, sold, delivered or transferred within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. Persons (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act), unless such Notes are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from the registration requirements thereof is available.

No disclosure required

Each offer to purchase or invitation to buy Notes is not required to comply with Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act 2001 of Australia (“Corporations Act”) as the Issuer is an Authorised Deposit Taking Institution (“ADI”) and entitled to rely on the exemption in section 708(19) of the Corporations Act which exempts ADIs from the requirement to comply with Chapter 6D.2 of the Corporations Act. Accordingly, neither this Information Memorandum nor any other document has been, or is required to be, lodged with the Australian Securities and Investments Commission.

No offer

This Information Memorandum does not, and is not intended to, constitute an offer or invitation by or on behalf of the Issuer, the Dealers or the Registrar to any person to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise deal in any Notes nor is it intended to be used for the purpose of or in connection with offers or invitations to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise deal in any Notes.

TFNs and ABNs:		The Issuer will deduct amounts from payments of interest to be made under the Notes at the prescribed rate if an Australian resident investor has not supplied an appropriate Tax File Number, Australian Business Number or exemption details as may be necessary to enable the payment to be made without withholding or deduction.

Selling restrictions:		The offering, sale and delivery of Notes and the distribution of this Information Memorandum and other material in relation to any Notes are subject to such restrictions as may apply in any country in connection with the offering and sale of a particular Tranche of Notes.

(b) if the Issuer would not remain Solvent immediately after payment of the whole of any moneys referred to in Condition 7.5(a) (“Subordination”), but would remain Solvent immediately after payment of a portion of those moneys, then that portion of the amounts due to the Undated Subordinated MTNs will be paid to them rateably (as to their respective due proportion only). The obligation of the Issuer prior to the commencement of a Winding-Up of the Issuer to make payments when due in respect of the Undated Subordinated MTNs is conditional upon the Issuer being Solvent, and having positive retained earnings immediately before and after payment by the Issuer. If this condition is not satisfied, any amounts which might otherwise have been allocated in or towards payment of principal, redemption amount, interest or other amounts in respect of the Undated Subordinated MTNs may be used to absorb losses without the Issuer being obliged to cease trading. The relevant Pricing Supplement will provide for the means of achieving this in accordance with APRA’s current guidelines for treatment of MTNs such as the Undated Subordinated MTNs as Upper Tier 2 capital;

(c) without prejudice to the provisions of Condition 7.5(a) (“Subordination”) the Issuer is only obliged to make payment of interest accrued on Undated Subordinated MTNs in respect of any period on the due date for payment thereof if, during the twelve month period immediately preceding that date, any dividend (whether interim or final) has been declared or paid on any class of share capital of the Issuer (a “Compulsory Interest Payment Date” and any Interest Payment Date which is not a Compulsory Interest Payment Date is referred to as an “Optional Interest Payment Date”).

On any Optional Interest Payment Date there may be paid (if the Issuer so elects), but subject to Condition 7.5(a) (“Subordination”) and the Issuer having received prior written approval from APRA to pay interest on any such date in accordance with Condition 15 (“Payments”), the interest accrued in the Interest Period ending on the day immediately preceding such date but the Issuer does not have any obligation to make such payment and any failure to pay does not constitute a default by the Issuer for any purpose. Any interest not paid on an Optional or Compulsory Interest Payment Date shall so long as the same remains unpaid constitute “Arrears of Interest”. Arrears of Interest may at the option of the Issuer be paid in whole or in part at any time upon the expiration of not less than seven days’ notice to such effect to the Undated Subordinated MTN Holders in accordance with Condition 23 (“Notices”) but all Arrears of Interest on all Undated Subordinated MTNs outstanding shall (subject to Condition 7.5(a) (“Subordination”)) become due in full on whichever is the earliest of:

(i) the date upon which a dividend is next paid on any class of share capital of the Issuer;

(ii) the date set for any repayment of principal pursuant to Condition 13 (“Redemption”) and Condition 15 (“Payments”); or

(iii) the date of commencement of a Winding-Up (as defined above) of the Issuer whether voluntary or otherwise.

If notice is given by the Issuer of its intention to pay the whole or part of Arrears of Interest, the Issuer must, subject to Condition 7.5(a) (“Subordination”), and having received the prior written approval from APRA, do so upon the expiration of such notice. If there is outstanding more than one Series of Undated Subordinated MTNs, then the Issuer may not pay all or any part of the Arrears of Interest unless it pays all or (as near as practicable) an equivalent proportion of the Arrears of Interest in respect of each other Series of Undated Subordinated MTNs then outstanding;

(d) in a Winding-Up of the Issuer the rights and claims of Undated Subordinated MTN Holders are subordinated to the claims of Unsubordinated Creditors and Term Subordinated MTN Holders, to the extent that all such obligations to Unsubordinated Creditors and to Term Subordinated MTN Holders are entitled to be paid in full before any payments shall be paid on amount of sums payable in respect of Undated Subordinated MTNs. Subject to:

(i) the claims of all Unsubordinated Creditors and all Term Subordinated MTN Holders being satisfied in full; and

(ii) the consent of APRA having been obtained,

Undated Subordinated MTN Holders may make demand for an amount equal to the outstanding principal amount of each Undated Subordinated MTN together with accrued interest (if any) and such amounts will only become due and payable on an equal basis with all other claims against the Issuer subordinated in the same manner as the Undated Subordinated MTNs of the relevant Tranche;

(e) there is no limit on the amount of debt or other obligations which rank equally or ahead of the Undated Subordinated MTNs that may be incurred or assumed by the Issuer;

(f) an Undated Subordinated MTN Holder must not set-off against any amounts owing to it in respect of an Undated Subordinated MTN against any amount owing to that Undated Subordinated MTN Holder by the Issuer on any account; and

(g) notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs 7.5(a) and 7.5(b) (“Subordination”) above, if an Event of Default occurs in relation to the Undated Subordinated MTNs of any Series as set out in Condition 18.4 (“Events of Default and Consequences of an Event of Default - Subordinated MTNs”), then Condition 18.4 (“Events of Default and Consequences of an Event of Default - Subordinated MTNs”) will apply.

8 Title and transfer of MTNs

8.1 Registered form

Each MTN takes the form of an entry in the Register.

8.2 Title

Title to MTNs passes when details of the transfer are entered in the Register. The Register will be closed for the purpose of determining entitlements to payments of interest and principal at 5.00pm local registry office time on the Record Date prior to any relevant payment date.

8.3 Effect of entries in Register

Each entry in the Register in respect of an MTN constitutes:

(a) an unconditional and irrevocable undertaking by the Issuer to the MTN Holder to make all payments of principal and interest in respect of the MTN in accordance with these Conditions; and

(b) an entitlement to the other benefits given to the MTN Holders under these Conditions in respect of the relevant MTN.

8.4 Register conclusive as to ownership

Entries in the Register in relation to an MTN constitute conclusive evidence that the person so entered is the absolute owner of the MTN subject to correction for fraud or error.

8.5 Non-recognition of interests

Except as required by law, the Issuer and each Agent must treat the person whose name is entered in the Register as the holder of an MTN as the absolute owner of that MTN. This Condition applies whether or not an MTN is overdue and despite any notice of ownership, trust or interest in the MTN.

8.6 Joint holders

Where two or more persons are entered in the Register as the joint holders of an MTN then they are taken to hold the MTN as joint tenants with rights of survivorship, but the Register is not bound to register more than four persons as joint holders of an MTN.

8.7 Transfers in whole

MTNs may be transferred in whole but not in part.

8.8 Compliance with laws

MTN Holders may only transfer MTNs if:

(a) the offer or invitation giving rise to the transfer is neither:

(i) an offer or invitation which requires disclosure to investors under Part 6D.2 of the Corporations Act; nor

(ii) an offer to a retail client for the purposes of Chapter 7 of the Corporations Act; and

(b) the transfer complies with any applicable law or directive of the jurisdiction where the transfer takes place.

8.9 Transfer procedures

MTNs entered into a Clearing System will be transferable only in accordance with the regulations of that Clearing System and the Registry Services Agreement.

Application for the transfer of MTNs not entered into a Clearing System must be made by the lodgment of a transfer form with the Registrar at its Specified Office. Transfer forms must be in the form available from the Registrar. Each transfer form must be:

(a) duly completed;

(b) accompanied by any evidence the Registrar may require to establish that the transfer form has been duly executed; and

8.10 CHESS

MTNs listed on the ASX are not:

(a) transferred through, or registered on, the Clearing House Electronic Subregister System operated by the ASX; or

(b) “Approved Financial Products” (as defined for the purposes of that system).

8.11 Austraclear as MTN Holder

Where Austraclear is recorded in the relevant Register as the MTN Holder, each person in whose Security Record (as defined in the Austraclear Regulations) an MTN is recorded is deemed to acknowledge in favour of the Registrar, the Issuer and Austraclear that:

(a) the Registrar’s decision to act as the Registrar of that MTN is not a recommendation or endorsement by the Registrar or Austraclear in relation to that MTN, but only indicates that the Registrar considers that the holding of the MTNs is compatible with the performance by it of its obligations as Registrar under the Registry Services Agreement; and

(b) the MTN Holder does not rely on any fact, matter or circumstance contrary to Condition 8.11(a) (“Austraclear as MTN Holder”).

8.12 Transfers of unidentified MTNs

If an MTN Holder transfers some but not all of the MTNs it holds and the transfer form does not identify the specific MTNs transferred, the Registrar may choose which MTNs registered in the name of MTN Holder have been transferred. However, the outstanding principal amounts of the MTNs registered as transferred must equal the outstanding principal amount of the MTNs expressed to be transferred in the transfer form.

10.3 Interest Rate determination

The Calculation Agent must determine the Interest Rate for any Floating Rate MTN for an Interest Period in accordance with these Conditions and the Pricing Supplement.

10.4 Fallback interest rate

Unless otherwise specified in the Pricing Supplement, if the Calculation Agent is unable to determine the Interest Rate for any Floating Rate MTN for an Interest Period, the Interest Rate for that Floating Rate MTN for that Interest Period is the same as the Interest Rate for that Floating Rate MTN for the Interest Period which immediately precedes it.

10.5 ISDA Determination

If “ISDA Determination” is specified in the Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Interest Rate is to be determined, the Interest Rate for any Floating Rate MTNs for each Interest Period is the ISDA Rate.

10.6 Screen Rate Determination

If “Screen Rate Determination” is specified in the Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Interest Rate is to be determined, the Interest Rate for any Floating Rate MTNs for each Interest Period is the sum of the Margin and the Screen Rate.

10.7 Bank Bill Rate Determination

If “Bank Bill Rate Determination” is specified in the Pricing Supplement as the manner in which the Interest Rate is to be determined, the Interest Rate for any Floating Rate MTNs for each Interest Period is the sum of the Margin and the Bank Bill Rate.

10.8 Interpolation

If the Pricing Supplement states that “Linear Interpolation” applies to an Interest Period, the Calculation Agent must determine the Interest Rate for that Interest Period using straight line interpolation by reference to two ISDA Rates, Screen Rates, Bank Bill Rates 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 Interest Rate payable in respect of a Structured MTN must be determined in the manner specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

12 General provisions applicable to interest

12.1 Maximum or Minimum Interest Rate

If the relevant Pricing Supplement specifies a Maximum Interest Rate or Minimum Interest Rate for any Interest Period then, the Interest Rate for that Interest Period must not be greater than the maximum, or be less than the minimum, so specified.

12.2 Calculation of Interest Rate and interest payable

The Calculation Agent must, as soon as practicable after determining the Interest Rate in relation to each Interest Period for each Floating Rate MTN and Index Linked MTN, calculate the amount of interest payable for the relevant Interest Period in respect of the outstanding principal amount of each MTN. The amount of interest payable is calculated by multiplying the product of the Interest Rate for that Interest Period and the outstanding principal amount of the MTN by the applicable Day Count Fraction.

12.3 Determination and calculation of other amounts

If the relevant Pricing Supplement specifies that any other amount is to be calculated by the Calculation Agent, the Calculation Agent must, as soon as practicable after the time at which that amount is to be determined, calculate the relevant amount. The relevant amount must be calculated by the Calculation Agent in the manner specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement.

Except where there is an obvious error, any determination or calculation which the Calculation Agent makes in accordance with these Conditions is final and binds the Issuer, the Registrar, each Agent and each MTN Holder.

12.6 Late payment of MTNs other than Zero Coupon MTNs

If the Redemption Amount payable in respect of an MTN (other than a Zero Coupon MTN) is not paid when due, interest continues to accrue on that MTN (both before and after any demand or judgment) at the Interest Rate then applicable to the outstanding principal amount of the MTN or any other default rate specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement until the date on which the relevant payment is made to the relevant MTN Holder.

12.7 Late payment of Zero Coupon MTNs

If the Redemption Amount payable in respect of any Zero Coupon MTN is not paid when due, the Redemption Amount is an amount equal to the sum of:

(a) the Reference Price; and

(b) the amount resulting from the application of the Accrual Yield (compounded annually) to the Reference Price from (and including) the Issue Date to (but excluding) the date on which all sums due in respect of such MTN are received by or on behalf of the relevant MTN Holder.

12.8 Rounding

For the purposes of any calculations required under these Conditions (unless otherwise specified in these Conditions or the relevant Pricing Supplement):

(a) all percentages resulting from the calculations must be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred thousandth of a percentage point (with 0.000005 per cent. being rounded up to 0.00001 per cent.);

13.2A Early redemption of Subordinated Notes for loss of tax deductibility

If the relevant Pricing Supplement states that the Issuer may redeem all (but not some) of the Subordinated Notes of a Series before their Maturity Date under this Condition, the Issuer may redeem all (but not some) of the MTNs of a Series in whole before their Maturity Date for an amount equal to the Redemption Amounts for the MTNs and any interest accrued on it to (but excluding) the redemption date if the Issuer determines, following receipt by it or a Related Entity of an opinion of reputable legal counsel or other tax adviser in Australia, experienced in such matters or a ruling, confirmation or advice from the ATO (including a failure or refusal to provide a ruling) to the effect that interest payable in respect of the Subordinated Notes is not or may not be allowed as a deduction to the Issuer (or the head entity of any consolidated group of which the Issuer is a member) for Australian income tax purposes.

However, the Issuer may only do so if:

(a) the Issuer has given at least 30 days’ (and no more than 60 days’) notice to the relevant Agents and the MTN Holders; and

(i) a certificate signed by two authorised officers of the Issuer; and

(ii) an opinion of independent legal advisers of recognised standing in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Issuer,

that an event described in this Condition 13.2A (“Early redemption of Subordinated Notes for loss of tax deductibility”) has occurred; and

13.3 Early redemption at the option of MTN Holders (investor put)

If the relevant Pricing Supplement states that an MTN Holder may require the Issuer to redeem all or some of the MTNs of a Series held by that MTN Holder before their Maturity

13.4 Early redemption at the option of the Issuer (Issuer call)

If the relevant Pricing Supplement states that the Issuer may redeem all or some of the MTNs of a Series before their Maturity Date under this Condition, the Issuer may redeem so many of those MTNs specified in the Pricing Supplement for an amount equal to the Redemption Amounts for those MTNs and any interest accrued on it to (but excluding) the redemption date.

However, the Issuer may only do so if:

(a) the amount of MTNs to be redeemed is, or is a multiple of, their Specified Denomination;

(b) the Issuer has given at least 30 days’ (and no more than 60 days’) (or any other period specified in the relevant Pricing Supplement) notice to the relevant Agents and the MTN Holders;

The principal amount of each Instalment MTN reduces from the date, and by the amount, of each payment the Issuer makes under this Condition 13.5 (“Instalments”).

13.6 Effect of notice of redemption

Any notice of redemption given under this Condition 13 (“Redemption”) is irrevocable.

and in either case, the MTN Holder is not entitled to any additional payment in respect of that delay.

15 Payments

15.1 Payment of principal

The Issuer agrees to pay the Redemption Amount (together with any accrued interest and other amounts due in respect of the MTN on the relevant redemption date) for an MTN or, in the case of an Instalment MTN, the final Instalment Amount for that MTN, and all other amounts due in respect of the MTN, in the currency in which it is due to the person who is the MTN Holder at 10.00 am in the place where the Register is maintained on the due date.

15.2 Payment of interest

The Issuer agrees to pay interest on any interest bearing MTN and, in the case of an Instalment MTN, in the currency in which it is due each Instalment Amount for that MTN (other than the final Instalment Amount), to the person who is the MTN Holder at 4.00 pm in the place where the Register is maintained on the Record Date.

15.3 Payments to accounts

Except as otherwise provided in the relevant Pricing Supplement, the Issuer agrees to make payments in respect of a MTN:

(a) if the MTN is held in a Clearing System, by crediting on the Payment Date, the amount due to the account previously notified by the Clearing System to the Issuer and the Registrar in accordance with the Clearing System’s rules and regulations in the country of the currency in which the payment is due; and

(b) if the MTN is not held in a Clearing System, subject to Condition 15.4 (“Payments by cheque”) by crediting on the Payment Date, the amount due to an account previously notified by the MTN Holder to the Issuer and the Registrar in the country of the currency in which the payment is due.

15.4 Payments by cheque

If an MTN Holder has not notified the Registrar of an account to which payments to it must be made by close of business in the place where the Register is maintained on the Record Date, the Issuer may make payments in respect of the MTNs held by that MTN Holder by cheque.

If the Issuer makes a payment in respect of an MTN by cheque, the Issuer agrees to send the cheque by prepaid ordinary post on the Business Day immediately before the due date, to the MTN Holder (or if two or more persons are entered in the Register as joint MTN Holders of the MTN, to the first named joint MTN Holder) at its address appearing in the Register at close of business in the place where the Register is maintained on the Record Date.

Cheques sent to an MTN Holder are sent at the MTN Holder’s risk and are taken to be received by the MTN Holder on the due date for payment. If the Issuer makes a payment in respect of an MTN by cheque, the Issuer is not required to pay any additional amount as a result of the MTN Holder not receiving payment on the due date in immediately available funds.

15.5 No US payments

No payment of interest will be made to an address in the United States or transferred to an account maintained by the MTN Holder in the United States.

16 Taxation

16.1 No set-off, counterclaim or deductions

All payments in respect of the MTNs must be made in full without set-off or counterclaim, and without any withholding or deduction in respect of Taxes, unless prohibited by law.

16.2 Withholding tax

Subject to Condition 16.3 (“Withholding tax exemptions”), if a law requires the Issuer to withhold or deduct an amount in respect of Taxes from a payment in respect of the MTNs such that the MTN Holder would not actually receive on the due date the full amount provided for under the MTNs, then:

(a) the Issuer agrees to deduct the amount for the Taxes (and any further withholding or deduction applicable to any further payment due under paragraph (b) below); and

(b) if the amount deducted or withheld is in respect of Taxes imposed by a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction, the amount payable is increased so that, after making the deduction and further deductions applicable to additional amounts payable under this clause, each MTN Holder is entitled to receive (at the time the payment is due) the amount it would have received if no deductions or withholdings had been required to be made.

16.3 Withholding tax exemptions

The Issuer is not required to pay an additional amount under Condition 16.2 (“Withholding tax”) if the obligation to do so arises as a result of any one or more of the following:

(a) the deduction is required in respect of Taxes by reason of the MTN Holder or beneficial holder having some connection with a Relevant Tax Jurisdiction other than the mere holding of the MTN or receipt of payment in respect of the MTN. However, an MTN Holder is not regarded as having a connection with Australia on account of the MTN Holder being a resident of Australia within the meaning of the Tax Act where, and to the extent, those taxes are payable by reason of section 128B(2A) of the Australian Tax Act;

(b) the deduction is required as a result of Taxes which would not be required to be deducted if the MTN Holder (or a person acting on its behalf):

(i) provided the Issuer, its agent or any tax authority with the MTN Holder’s name, address, registration number, Australian tax file number, Australian business number or similar details or any relevant tax exemption or similar details; or

(ii) ensured that any third party complied with any other statutory requirements (such as making a declaration of non-residence or similar claim) for any relevant tax exemption; or

Part 6 Events of Default

18 Events of Default

18.1 Event of Default -Unsubordinated MTNs

An Event of Default occurs in relation to a series of Unsubordinated MTNs if:

(a) (payment default) the Issuer fails to pay any interest in respect of the Unsubordinated MTNs within 30 days of the relevant due date or any principal in respect of the Unsubordinated MTNs within 7 days of the relevant due date;

(b) (other default) the Issuer defaults in performance or observance of any of its obligations under any Unsubordinated MTNs, of such Series (other than those specified in paragraph (a) above), which default is incapable of remedy or, if capable of remedy, is not remedied within 30 days after notice requiring such default to be remedied has been given to the Issuer by the relevant MTN Holder;

(c) (cross default) any indebtedness for borrowed money of the Issuer (not being money borrowed in the ordinary course of banking business) which in aggregate exceeds US$10,000,000 (or its equivalent in any Alternate Currency(s)):

(i) is not paid when due or within any applicable grace period; or

(ii) becomes due and repayable before its scheduled maturity by reason of a default of the Issuer,

and, in each case, is not being contested in good faith by the Issuer and is not cured or otherwise made good within 7 days after notice of such default has been given to the Issuer by the relevant MTN Holder.

For the purpose of paragraph (i) above, the expression “indebtedness for borrowed money” includes any liability by way of indemnity in respect of, or other undertaking given to secure payment of any indebtedness for borrowed money;

(d) (insolvency) the Issuer becomes insolvent or is unable to pay its debts as they fall due or stops payment of its debts (in each case within the meaning of Australian or any applicable insolvency law);

(e) (winding up) an order is made or an effective resolution is passed for the winding up of the Issuer except in any such case:

(i) for the purposes of a solvent reconstruction or amalgamation the terms of which have previously been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of Unsubordinated MTN Holders; or

The making of this declaration gives immediate effect to its provisions.

18.3 Rectification

An Unsubordinated MTN Holder’s right to declare MTNs due and payable terminates if the situation giving cause to it has been cured before such right is exercised.

18.4 Events of Default and Consequences of an Event of Default - Subordinated MTNs

(a) (payment default) If a Payment Default occurs and is continuing, a Subordinated MTN Holder may bring proceedings:

(i) to recover any amount then due and payable but unpaid on its Subordinated MTNs (subject to the Issuer being able to make the payment and remain Solvent);

(ii) to obtain an order for specific performance of any other obligation in respect of its Subordinated MTNs; or

(iii) for the winding up of the Issuer.

To the extent that a payment is not required to be made because of the solvency condition to payment in Condition 5.3A (“Conditions to payment”), the amount is not due and payable and a Payment Default does not occur.

(b) (winding up default) If a Winding Up Default occurs and is continuing, a Subordinated MTN Holder may, in addition to taking any of the actions specified in Condition 18.4(a) above, by notice to the Issuer declare that its Subordinated MTNs must be redeemed immediately for an amount equal to the principal of the Subordinated MTNs together with any accrued interest or other amounts (in each case to the extent unpaid) and, subject to Condition 7.3 (“Subordination”), may prove in the winding up of the Issuer for that amount.

(c) (amounts unpaid remain debts) Any amount not paid either due to Condition 5.3A (“Conditions to payment”) or Condition 18.4(a)(i) above remains a debt owing to the Subordinated MTN Holder by the Issuer until it is paid and will be payable on the first date on which the relevant Condition is satisfied.

(d) (no other action) The Subordinated MTN Holders may not exercise any other remedies (including any right to sue for damages which has the same economic effect as acceleration) as a consequence of an Event of Default or other default other than as specified in this Condition 18.4.

18.5 Additional definitions for Condition 18.4

For the purposes of Condition 18.4 (“Events of Default and Consequences of an Event of Default - Subordinated MTNs”):

(a) “Payment Default” means either:

(i) (failure to pay principal): the Issuer does not pay any principal or Redemption Amount due in respect of the Subordinated MTNs of the relevant Series within seven days of its due date; or

(ii) (failure to pay interest or other amounts) the Issuer does not pay any interest or other amount due in respect of the Subordinated MTNs of the relevant Series within 30 days of its due date; and

(b) “Winding Up Default” means a Winding Up occurs other than for the purposes of a consolidation, amalgamation, merger or reconstruction which has been approved by an Extraordinary Resolution of the relevant Subordinated MTN Holders or in which the surviving entity has assumed or will assume expressly or by law all obligations of the Issuer in respect of the Subordinated MTNs of the relevant Series.”

18.6 Notification

If an Event of Default occurs, the Issuer must 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 MTN Holders of the occurrence of the Event of Default by registered post to the address of the MTN Holder recorded in the Register.

10 General

Any such modification will be set out in the relevant Subscription Agreement, if applicable, and in the Pricing Supplement issued in respect of the Notes to which it relates or in a supplement to, and update of, the Information Memorandum.

Australian Taxation

The following is a summary of the taxation treatment under the Income Tax Assessment Acts of 1936 and 1997 of Australia (together, “Australian Tax Act”), at the date of this Information Memorandum, of payments of interest (as defined in the Australian Tax Act) on the short term notes and medium term notes (together, the “Notes”) to be issued by the Issuer under the Programme and certain other matters. It is not exhaustive and, in particular, does not deal with the position of certain classes of holders of Notes (including, without limitation, dealers in securities, custodians or other third parties who hold Notes on behalf of Australian residents holding Notes in the course of carrying on a trade or business at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia or non-residents of Australia (other than non-residents carrying on a trade or business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia)).

Prospective holders of Notes should also be aware that particular terms of issue of any Series of Notes may affect the tax treatment of that and other Series of Notes. The following is a general guide and should be treated with appropriate caution. Prospective holders of Notes (including, without limitation, dealers in securities, custodians or other third parties who hold Notes on behalf of Australian residents holding Notes in the course of carrying on a trade or business at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia or non-residents of Australia (other than non-residents carrying on a trade or business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia)) who are in any doubt as to their tax position should consult their professional advisers on the tax implications of an investment in the Notes for their particular circumstances.

1 Interest withholding tax

An exemption from Australian interest withholding tax imposed under Division IIA of Part III of the Australian Tax Act (“IWT”) is available, in respect of the Notes issued by the Issuer, under section 128F the Australian Tax Act if the following conditions are met:

(a) the Issuer is either a resident of Australia or a non-resident carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia when it issues Notes and when interest (as defined in section 128A(1AB) of the Australian Tax Act) is paid. Interest is defined to include amounts in the nature of, or in substitution for, interest;

(b) those Notes are issued in a manner which satisfies the public offer test set out in subsection 128F(3) or subsection 128F(4). There are five principal methods of satisfying the public offer test, only one of which needs to be satisfied. The purpose of the public offer test is to ensure that lenders in capital markets are aware that the Issuer is offering those Notes for issue. In summary, the five methods are:

· offers to 10 or more unrelated financiers or securities dealers;

· offers to 100 or more investors;

· offers of listed Notes;

· offers via publicly available information sources; and

· offers to a dealer, manager or underwriter who offers to sell those Notes within 30 days by one of the preceding methods.

In addition, the issue of any of those Notes (whether in global form or otherwise) and the offering of interests in any of those Notes by one of these methods should satisfy the public offer test;

(c) the Issuer does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, at the time of issue, that those Notes or interests in those Notes were being, or would later be, acquired, directly or indirectly, by an “associate” of the Issuer, except as permitted by section 128F(5) of the Australian Tax Act; and

(d) at the time of the payment of interest, the Issuer does not know, or have reasonable grounds to suspect, that the payee is an “associate” of the Issuer, except as permitted by section 128F(6) of the Australian Tax Act.

A Note must also either be a debenture as defined for the purposes of section 128F (but not an equity interest) or a debt interest. The Australian government has introduced legislation to amend section 128F to limit the types of non-debenture debt interests that will be eligible for exemption from IWT to certain shares that are treated as debt, some syndicated loans and other debt interests that may be prescribed by future regulations. These amendments will apply to interest paid in respect of debt interests issued from 7 December 2006, and to some syndicated loans entered into on or after 21 March 2005. In the present circumstances, the Issuer intends to issue the Notes in a form that will represent a debenture or debentures.

Associates

An “associate” of an Issuer for the purposes of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act includes (i) a person or entity which holds 50% or more of the voting shares of, or otherwise controls, the Issuer, (ii) an entity which is a subsidiary of, or otherwise controlled by, the Issuer, (iii) a trustee of a trust where the Issuer is capable of benefiting (whether directly or indirectly) under that trust, and (iv) a person or entity who is an “associate” of another person or company which is an “associate” of the Issuer under any of the foregoing.

However, for the purposes of sections 128F(5) and (6) of the Australian Tax Act (see paragraphs (c) and (d) above), “associate” does not include:

(A) onshore associates (ie Australian resident associates who do not hold the Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia and non-resident associates who hold the Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia); or

(B) offshore associates (ie Australian resident associates that hold the Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia and non-resident associates who do not hold the Notes in the course of carrying on business through a permanent establishment in Australia) who are acting in the capacity of:

(i) in the case of section 128F(5) only, a dealer, manager or underwriter in relation to the placement of the relevant Notes); or

(ii) a clearing house, custodian, funds manager, responsible entity of a registered scheme or, in the case of section 128F(6) only, paying agent.

Compliance with section 128F of the Australian Tax Act

Unless otherwise specified in any relevant Pricing Supplement (or another relevant supplement to this Information Memorandum), the Issuer intends to issue the Notes in a manner which will satisfy the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act.

US and UK Resident Noteholders

The Australian government has signed a number of new or amended double tax conventions (New Treaties) with the United States and the United Kingdom (each a Specified Country). The New Treaties apply to interest derived by a resident of a Specified Country.

The New Treaties effectively prevent Australia from imposing IWT to interest derived by:

· governments of the Specified Countries and certain governmental authorities and agencies in a Specified Country; and

· certain (1) banks, and (2) other financial institutions resident in a Specified Country which substantially derive their profits by carrying on a business of raising and providing finance, and which are unrelated to and dealing wholly independently with the Issuer

by reducing the IWT rate to zero.

Under the New Treaties back-to-back loans and economically equivalent arrangements will not obtain the benefit of the reduction in IWT mentioned above and the anti-avoidance provisions in the Australian Tax Act can apply.

New double tax conventions have also recently been negotiated by Australia with France, Finland and Norway respectively. The new conventions with France, Finland and Norway contain IWT exemptions similar to those in the New Treaties with the Specified Countries. The new conventions with France, Finland and Norway have not yet become effective.

Payment of additional amounts

As set out in more detail in the relevant Terms and Conditions for the Notes, and unless expressly provided to the contrary in the relevant Pricing Supplement (or another relevant supplement to this Information Memorandum), if an Issuer is at any time compelled or authorised by law to deduct or withhold an amount in respect of any Australian withholding taxes imposed or levied by the Commonwealth of Australia or the State of Victoria in respect of the Notes, the Issuer must, subject to certain exceptions, pay such additional amounts as may be necessary in order to ensure that the net amounts received by the holders of those Notes after such deduction or withholding are equal to the respective amounts which would have been received had no such deduction or withholding been required. If an Issuer is compelled by law in relation to any Notes to deduct or withhold an amount in respect of any withholding taxes, the Issuer will have the option to redeem those Notes in accordance with the relevant Terms and Conditions.

2 Other tax matters

Subject to paragraph 3, under Australian laws as presently in effect:

(a) income tax - assuming the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act are satisfied with respect to the Notes, payment of principal and interest to a holder of the Notes, who is a non-resident of Australia and who, during the taxable year, does not hold the Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia, will not be subject to Australian income taxes; and

(b) gains on disposal of Notes - a holder of the Notes, who is a non-resident of Australia and who, during the taxable year, does not hold the Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia, will not be subject to Australian income tax on gains realised during that year on sale or redemption of the Notes, provided such gains do not have an Australian source. A gain arising on the sale of Notes by a non-Australian resident holder to another non-Australian resident where the Notes are sold outside Australia and all negotiations are conducted, and documentation executed, outside Australia would not be regarded as having an Australian source; and

(c) deemed interest - there are specific rules that can apply to treat a portion of the purchase price of Notes as interest for withholding tax purposes when certain Notes originally issued at a discount or with a maturity premium or which do not pay interest at least annually are sold to an Australian resident (who does not acquire them in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment outside Australia) or a non-resident who acquires them in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia. These rules do not apply in circumstances where the deemed interest would have been exempt under

section 128F of the Australian Tax Act if the Notes had been held to maturity by a non-resident; and

(d) death duties - no Notes will be subject to death, estate or succession duties imposed by Australia, or by any political subdivision or authority therein having power to tax, if held at the time of death; and

(e) stamp duty and other taxes - no ad valorem stamp, issue, registration or similar taxes are payable in Australia on the issue or transfer of any Notes; and

(f) other withholding taxes on payments in respect of Notes - section 12-140 of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act 1953 of Australia (“Taxation Administration Act”) imposes a type of withholding tax at the rate of (currently) 46.5% on the payment of interest on certain registered securities unless the relevant payee has quoted an Australian tax file number (“TFN”), (in certain circumstances) an Australian Business Number (“ABN”) or proof of some other exception (as appropriate). Assuming the requirements of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act are satisfied with respect to the Notes, then the requirements of section 12-140 do not apply to payments to a holder of Notes in registered form who is not a resident of Australia and not holding those Notes in the course of carrying on business at or through a permanent establishment in Australia. Payments to other classes of holders of Notes in registered form may be subject to a withholding where the holder of those Notes does not quote a TFN, ABN or provide proof of an appropriate exemption (as appropriate); and

(g) supply withholding tax - payments in respect of the Notes can be made free and clear of the “supply withholding tax” imposed under section 12-190 of the Taxation Administration Act;

(h) goods and services tax (GST) - neither the issue nor receipt of the Notes will give rise to a liability for GST in Australia on the basis that the supply of Notes will comprise either an input taxed financial supply or (in the case of an offshore subscriber) a GST-free supply. Furthermore, neither the payment of principal or interest by the Issuer, nor the disposal of the Notes, would give rise to any GST liability in Australia; and

(i) debt/equity rules - Division 974 of the Australian Tax Act contains tests for characterising debt (for all entities) and equity (for companies) for Australian tax purposes, including for the purposes of dividend withholding tax and IWT. The Issuer intends to issue Notes which are to be characterised as “debentures” as defined for the purposes of section 128F (which are not equity interests) for the purposes of the tests contained in Division 974 and the returns paid on the Notes are to be “interest” for the purpose of section 128F of the Australian Tax Act. Accordingly, Division 974 should not affect the Australian tax treatment of holders of Notes;

(i) additional withholdings from certain payments to non-residents - section 12-315 of Schedule 1 to the Taxation Administration Act gives the Governor-General power to make regulations requiring withholding from certain payments to non-residents. However section 12-315 expressly provides that the regulations will not apply to interest and other payments which are already subject to the current IWT rules or specifically exempt from those rules. Further, regulations may only be made if the responsible minister is satisfied the specified payments are of a kind that could reasonably relate to assessable income of foreign residents. The regulations promulgated prior to the date of this Information Memorandum are not relevant to any payments in respect of the Notes. Any further regulations should not apply to repayments of principal under the Notes, as in the absence of any issue discount such amounts will generally not be related to assessable income. The possible application of any regulations to the proceeds of any sale of the Notes will need to be monitored;

(i) taxation of foreign exchange gains or losses - Division 775 of the Australian Tax Act contains rules to deal with the taxation consequences of foreign exchange transactions. The rules are very complicated and, generally speaking, will require Australian taxpayers, or non-residents that hold assets, or incur liabilities in the course of carrying on business in Australia, to perform complex (and frequent) calculations to determine the foreign exchange gains and losses they are taxed upon in respect of holding assets (or incurring liabilities) in non-Australian currency.

There are several exclusions from the rules. In particular, authorised deposit taking institutions under the Banking Act 1959 of Australia (“ADIs”) and non-ADI financial institutions (as defined) are excluded from the foreign exchange gains and losses rules (on the basis that different and more extensive retranslation rules will ultimately apply to them as part of the Government’s plan for further reform of taxation of financial arrangements).

The Issuer is an ADI. Accordingly, for so long as the Issuer has that status the foreign exchange gains or losses rules will not apply to the Issuer. However, the rules may apply to any holders of the Notes denominated in a currency other than Australian dollars that are not ADIs or non-ADI financial institutions and which are Australian residents or non-residents that hold those Notes in the course of carrying on business in Australia. Any such holders of Notes should consult their professional advisors for advice as to how to tax account for any foreign exchange gains or losses arising from their holding of those Notes.

3 Recent developments

Taxation of Financial Arrangements

On 3 January 2007 the Australian Minister for Revenue and Assistant Treasurer issued a revised exposure draft of proposed new rules for the “Taxation of Financial Arrangements.” It is intended that the new rules (if enacted) would represent a new code for the taxation of receipts and payments in relation to financial arrangements. The new division defines financial arrangements and sets out five tax-timing methods. These methods (fair value, accruals, retranslation, realisation and hedging) determine the tax-timing treatment of all financial arrangements covered by the legislation.

The exposure draft specifies that the proposed commencement date for the new rules will be on or after 1 July 2008. Taxpayers may also be able to elect for the new rules to apply to all financial arrangements existing on or after 1 July 2007.

The exposure draft does not contain any indication as to how (if at all) the proposed rules are to relate to the imposition of IWT. However, the Australian government has given no indication that it intends the new rules to apply in a manner which overrides the section 128F exemption.

It is expected that the Australian government will consult with taxpayers and industry representatives to develop the final legislation.
