4.2 Services under the Securitisation Agreements

EDS BPA agrees:

 

  (a) it will not do anything which would cause any written statement, representation or warranty made by Westpac as part of a securitisation transaction of which EDS BPA is or ought reasonably to be aware (including any statement, representation or warranty made in a prospectus or a Securitisation Agreement) to be untrue or incorrect or misleading in any way provided that unless this agreement expressly obliges EDS BPA to do so, EDS BPA will not be obliged to take any steps to verify the accuracy of any such statement, representation or warranty;

 

Page 13


Sub-Servicing Agreement    LOGO

 

  (b) that unless otherwise instructed by Westpac, or agreed by the parties, it will not act in any way that would cause Westpac to be in default in any way under the Securitisation Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause will not oblige EDS BPA to perform services beyond the scope of Services, even if EDS BPA knows that such services may reduce the likelihood of Westpac being in default in any way under the Securitisation Agreement; and

 

  (c) that it must, on request by Westpac, provide reasonable assistance to Westpac (including the provision of appropriate management personnel) to enable Westpac to provide services necessary for Westpac to meet its obligations under each Securitisation Agreement. Westpac will pay EDS BPA a service fee for the provision of the services provided under this paragraph (c), if required, at a rate to be negotiated at the time of performance.

 

4.3 Acknowledgment concerning Westpac potential loss

If EDS BPA fails to comply with clauses 4.1 and 4.2 in accordance with this agreement, Westpac may suffer loss including but not limited to:

 

  (a) increased charges payable under any of the Securitisation Agreements;

 

  (b) being required to restructure Securitisation Transactions which leads Westpac to incur or pay additional costs, or receive reduced income, in relation to those Securitisation Transactions (for example, by the relevant Trustee being required to issue increased levels of subordinated debt);

 

  (c) additional payments payable under those agreements; and

 

  (d) various one-off adjustment payments required to be made under those agreements.

Subject to clause 4.4, EDS BPA agrees that the losses set out above are direct losses and are not subject to the exclusion set out in clause 7.2(b);

 

4.4 Direct Loss

If EDS BPA fails to deliver any EDS BPA Information when and as required under clause 14, the loss suffered by Westpac may include (i) the actual costs, fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Westpac as a result of such failure (such as the incremental legal, accounting and printing costs of preparing and filing a Form S-1 registration statement or a private placement memorandum as distinguished from a Form S-3 shelf “take-down”), and (ii) the actual costs, fees and out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Westpac as a direct result of a determination by the Commission that Westpac or any Trust Manager is an “Ineligible Issuer” under Rule 405 of the Securities Act or is no longer eligible to file registration statements on Form S-3 for mortgage backed securities provided that such determination is reached by the Commission solely because of EDS BPA’s breach of its obligation to deliver or to cause the delivery of EDS BPA Information under clause 14.

For the avoidance of doubt, the acknowledgements in clauses 4.3 and 4.4:

 

  (a) are intended to assist in the characterisation of the type of direct loss which may be recovered by Westpac for a breach of this agreement by EDS BPA;

 

  (b) do not of themselves make EDS BPA liable for any such loss or remove the requirement that Westpac prove its entitlement to any damages it claims to have suffered as a result of an alleged breach of this agreement by EDS BPA; and

 

Page 14


Sub-Servicing Agreement    LOGO

 

  (c) do not prevent EDS BPA from raising any defences which it may be entitled to raise to any claim by Westpac for damages for breach of this agreement.

 

4.5 Securitisation Agreements

 

  (a) Westpac will enforce any limitations and exclusions of liability in the Securitisation Agreements. EDS BPA will not be liable to Westpac under the indemnity in clause 14 for any Damages suffered by Westpac which Westpac would not have suffered if Westpac had fully complied with its obligations under this clause 4.5(a).

 

  (b) If Westpac enters into a Securitisation Transaction with respect to any Relevant Trust after the date of this agreement, paragraph (a) will apply fully in relation to that Securitisation Transaction with respect to the Securitisation Agreements for that Relevant Trust.

 

5. EDS BPA fees

 

5.1 Westpac shall pay to EDS BPA a fee for providing its services under this agreement as agreed between Westpac and EDS BPA from time to time. To the extent that performance by EDS BPA of its obligations in this Agreement:

 

  (a) requires EDS BPA to acquire or deploy resources or to incur costs in excess of those otherwise required for the performance of its obligations to Westpac as they existed under any other agreement between EDS BPA and Westpac in force immediately prior to the date of this agreement, and/or

 

  (b) requires EDS BPA to incur costs in respect of which EDS BPA is otherwise entitled to an adjustment of fees or additional compensation under its arrangements with Westpac,

then, Westpac will compensate EDS BPA for such additional resources and costs and engage with EDS BPA, in good faith, in respect of any adjustment of fees or additional compensation.

 

5.2 EDS BPA will not be entitled to payment of any additional amount for any risk assumed by EDS BPA in respect of this agreement which exceeds the risk assumed by EDS BPA under any other agreement between EDS BPA and Westpac in force immediately prior to the date of this agreement.

  (b) EDS BPA has given Westpac 60 days notice of Westpac’s failure to pay,

EDS BPA may give 60 days written notice to Westpac of EDS BPA’s intention to terminate this agreement, and if Westpac has not paid the amount due within such 60 days notice period, EDS BPA may terminate this agreement for such failure to pay.

  (d) To the maximum extent permitted by law, each party releases, to the extent that it is able, each other party from any confidentiality, privacy or general law obligations that such other party would otherwise owe and which would otherwise prevent such other party from providing any information or documents requested in accordance with this clause.

12. GST

The following provisions apply in respect of GST payable under this agreement.

 

  (a) Unless expressly stated otherwise, all amounts and payments set out in this agreement are exclusive of GST.

 

  (b) Where GST is imposed on any supply made under this agreement by a party (in this clause the Supplying Party) to another party (in this clause the Receiving Party) the Receiving Party must, subject to paragraph (e), pay to the Supplying Party, in addition to and at the same time as the consideration is payable or to be provided for the supply, an additional amount calculated by multiplying the value of that consideration (without deduction or set-off) by the prevailing GST rate.

 

  (c) If this agreement is amended following its execution so as to provide for a new supply by the Supplying Party and as a consequence all the GST in respect of that particular supply is payable by the Supplying Party before all the consideration for that supply must be provided by the Receiving Party, the Supplying Party and the Receiving Party must agree to address the timing the payment of GST amounts in respect of that supply so as to minimise the cash flow exposure to both parties.

 

  (d) The Supplying Party must issue a valid GST tax invoice to the Receiving Party before any payment for a supply by the Supplying Party under this agreement is due. If the Supplying Party does not give the Receiving Party a tax invoice in the approved form in relation to a supply made under this agreement prior to the Receiving Party making a payment of the GST exclusive consideration for that supply, then the Receiving Party:

 

  (i) will not be required to pay an amount on account of any GST payable at the time of the payment of the GST exclusive consideration; and

 

  (ii) must pay the amount on account of the GST payable in relation to the supply within 10 business days of receipt of a valid tax invoice in respect of that supply.

 

  (e) Where an adjustment in relation to a supply under this agreement has occurred, the Supplying Party must give an adjustment note to the Receiving Party no later than 20 Business Days after the earlier of becoming aware of the occurrence of that adjustment event or being requested by the Receiving Party.

 

  (f) The Supplying Party:

 

  (i) warrants that the amounts referred to in any tax invoice given by it to the Receiving Party correctly reflects the GST payable on the relevant supply;

 

  (ii) warrants that the tax invoice complies with all requirements for a tax invoice under the applicable Laws or regulations in the relevant jurisdiction; and

 

  (iii) must ensure that the tax invoice details the amount of GST paid or payable in respect of the supply to which it relates.

 

Page 24


Sub-Servicing Agreement    LOGO

 

  (g) If the Receiving Party is obliged to make any deduction or withholding on account of any tax, charge, rate, duty or imposts however described in connection with, and in a jurisdiction relevant to, this agreement, it will withhold the relevant amount from the gross amount due to the Supplying Party and will promptly pay that amount to the relevant authority. The Receiving Party will have no obligation to pay any additional amount to the Supplying Party in relation to the withheld amount. The Receiving Party must provide the Supplying Party a payment summary, receipts or such other documentation in the approved form showing that the full amount of any such deduction or withholding made by it has been paid over to the relevant taxing authority.

 

  (h) If, at any time during the Term, the GST in any jurisdiction relevant to this agreement is replaced by a consumption tax in the nature of a value added tax or sales tax (new consumption tax), the Receiving Party will pay that new consumption tax as it applies to the payment for any supply under this agreement instead of the GST, provided that the Supplying Party complies with paragraph (e) (modified as necessary so that it applies to the new consumption tax in the same manner as it applied to GST) and complies with the applicable legislation when invoicing the Receiving Party for that new consumption tax.

 

  (i) If a party (in this paragraph (j) the Payer) is required to make a payment to the other party (in this paragraph (j) the Payee) by way of indemnity or reimbursement under this Agreement, the amount will:

 

  (i) include any additional amount paid by the Payee on account of GST in respect of any supply made to the Payee by a third party in connection with the circumstance giving rise to the operation of the indemnity or reimbursement;

 

  (ii) be reduced by the amount of any input tax credit to which the Payee is entitled in respect of the circumstance giving rise to the operation of the indemnity or reimbursement; and

 

  (iii) be increased in accordance with this clause 12 (if applicable).

 

  (j) Any term used in this clause 12 and not defined in clause 1.1 has the same meaning given to that term in:

 

  (i) in respect of GST payable in Australia, the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth);

 

  (ii) in respect of GST payable in another jurisdiction, the legislation that governs GST in that jurisdiction and, if a different term is used in that jurisdiction to refer to the same or a similar expression or concept, the term used in this clause will be replaced by the applicable term from the applicable legislation in that jurisdiction.

14. Compliance with Regulation AB

 

14.1 Intent of the Parties, Reasonableness, Costs & Disputes

EDS BPA and Westpac acknowledge and agree that the purpose of this clause 14 is to facilitate compliance by Westpac and each Trust Manager with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission. Although Regulation AB is applicable by its terms only to offerings of asset backed securities that are registered under the Securities Act, EDS BPA acknowledges that investors in privately offered securities may require to be provided with comparable disclosure in unregistered offerings. References in this agreement to compliance with Regulation AB include provision of comparable disclosure in private offerings.

Westpac shall not exercise its right to request delivery of information or other performance under these provisions other than in good faith, or for purposes other than compliance by Westpac or a Trust Manager with the Securities Act, the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder (or the provision in a private offering of disclosure comparable to that required under the Securities Act). EDS BPA acknowledges that interpretations of the requirements of Regulation AB may change over time, whether due to interpretive guidance provided by the Commission or its staff, consensus among participants in the asset-backed securities markets, advice of counsel, or otherwise, and agrees to comply with requests made by Westpac in good faith for delivery of information under these provisions on the basis of evolving interpretations of Regulation AB to the extent that in Westpac’s reasonable judgment they are necessary in order to effect such compliance.

EDS BPA shall cooperate fully with Westpac to deliver to Westpac any and all statements, reports, certifications, records and any other information necessary in the good faith determination of Westpac to permit Westpac or a Trust Manager to comply with the provisions of Regulation AB, together with such disclosures relating to EDS BPA, any Regulation AB Subservicer and the Receivables and Receivable Securities, or the servicing of the Receivables and the Receivable Securities, reasonably believed by Westpac to be necessary in order to effect such compliance. Westpac shall cooperate with EDS BPA by:

 

  (a) providing EDS BPA with at least 30 days prior notice of the information which it requires EDS BPA to deliver to Westpac for the purposes of this clause (except in the case of an urgent request from any third party to whom Westpac must provide information for the purpose of compliance with Regulation AB or in the case of information which is otherwise required within a shorter timeframe to facilitate compliance with Regulation AB, in which case Westpac will notify EDS BPA in writing promptly and provide EDS BPA with a reasonable time in which to provide the information to Westpac);

 

Page 28


Sub-Servicing Agreement    LOGO

 

  (b) promptly making appropriately qualified senior personnel available to consult and meet with EDS BPA in respect of the notification referred to in paragraph (a);

 

  (c) reasonably limiting such request to information which, in Westpac’s reasonable judgment, is necessary for compliance with Regulation AB; and

 

  (d) providing EDS BPA with all such documents and information as EDS BPA may reasonably require to establish the basis for such judgement by Westpac.

Notwithstanding this clause 14, EDS BPA will not be obliged under clause 14 to provide Westpac for the purposes of Regulation AB compliance with any information which:

 

  (a) EDS BPA is prohibited by law or regulation from disclosing to Westpac;

 

  (b) constitutes a trade secret; or

 

  (c) cannot be disclosed by EDS BPA without:

 

  (i) breaching bona fide obligations of confidentiality owed to a third party;

 

  (ii) materially and adversely effecting the interests of EDS BPA’s customers; or

 

  (iii) materially and adversely affecting EDS BPA’s interests vis-a-vis its competitors.

EDS BPA and Westpac hereby acknowledge that:

 

  (a) certain information provided to Westpac by EDS BPA in accordance with this clause 14 may be provided by Westpac to the relevant Trust Manager to facilitate compliance by the Trust Manager with the provisions of Regulation AB and related rules and regulations of the Commission and the accuracy and completeness of such information will be relied on by such Trust Manager;

 

  (b) the certification provided to Westpac by EDS BPA in accordance with clause 14.5(c) of this Agreement may be provided by Westpac to the person responsible for signing the certification (a “Sarbanes Certification”) required by Rules 13a-14(d) and 15d-14(d) under the Exchange Act (pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002) on behalf of an asset-backed issuer with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such responsible person may rely on the certification provided by EDS BPA pursuant to such clause in signing a Sarbanes Certification and filing such with the Commission;

 

  (c) EDS BPA will only be liable to Westpac (in any respect) and not to any other person (whether a person described in the preceding clauses (a) or (b) or otherwise) in respect of any matter arising out of or related to this Agreement or Westpac’s securitisation program; and

 

Page 29


Sub-Servicing Agreement    LOGO

 

  (d) in furtherance of the foregoing disclaimer in paragraph (c) above, Westpac will indemnify EDS BPA and any of its affiliates and any of their respective present or former directors, officers, employees and agents (an “indemnified person”), and shall hold each of them harmless from and against any losses, damages, penalties, fines, forfeitures, legal fees and expenses, and related costs, judgments, and any other costs, fees and expenses that any of them may sustain from any action of any third party taken directly against an indemnified person and which arises out of or is related to this Agreement or Westpac’s securitisation program provided that this clause (d) shall not limit Westpac’s own rights, if any, to seek recovery from EDS BPA in respect of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the indemnity in clause 13.1(c) and clause 14.7).

In determining questions of materiality under this clause 14, an item or items should be considered “material” if it (or they) would individually or in the aggregate be material to an investor in an asset-backed security.

  (b) Each assessment of compliance provided by a Regulation AB Subservicer, if any, pursuant to this clause 14.5 shall address each of the Servicing Criteria specified on a certification substantially in the form of schedule 6 hereto delivered to Westpac concurrently with the execution of this agreement or, in the case of a Regulation AB Subservicer, if any, subsequently appointed as such, on or prior to the date of such appointment. An assessment of compliance provided by a Regulation AB Subcontractor pursuant to clause 14.5(a)(iii) need not address any elements of the Servicing Criteria other than those specified by EDS BPA pursuant to clause 14.6.

 

  (c) Westpac acknowledges that, as at the date of this Agreement, Brambles Australia Limited is the only Subcontractor appointed by EDS BPA that will participate in the servicing function as defined in Regulation AB.
